NEW YORK, Nov. 16 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- American Oriental Bioengineering, Inc. (NYSE: AOB), ("the Company" or "AOBO"), a pharmaceutical company dedicated to improving health through the development, manufacture and commercialization of a broad range of prescription and over the counter ("OTC") products, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.
Third Quarter 2009 Financial Performance
Revenue in the third quarter of 2009 increased 11.7% to $78.8 million from
$70.6 million in the third quarter of 2008, reflecting continued demand for
the Company's core pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products. Revenue from
pharmaceutical products increased 6.3% to $66.0 million from $62.1 million in
the third quarter of 2008. Revenue from prescription pharmaceutical products
increased 22.7% to $29.8 million during the third quarter of 2009, reflecting
a year over year increase in sales from prescription formulated Jinji capsule,
Boke and CCXA products, which offset declines in sales of Shuanghuanglian
Injection Powder ("SHL"). The overall increase in sales was also supported by
continuous marketing efforts, an increase in new product offerings, as well as
expansion of coverage to previously unaddressed rural markets. OTC
pharmaceutical products generated $36.2 million in revenue during the third
quarter of 2009, in comparison to $37.8 million in the prior year's period,
primarily reflecting lower sales performance of Jinji Yimucao, a drug included
in China's Essential Drug list, as distributors reduced orders in anticipation
of pricing uncertainty related to healthcare reform. Nutraceutical products
generated revenue of approximately $9.2 million in the third quarter of 2009,
up 8.7% from $8.5 million in the prior year period, reflecting increased sales
of new beverage product

Bush, Rasmussen conduct "bicycle diplomacy"
CAMP DAVID, Maryland (Reuters) – President Bush and Danish
Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen conducted some bicycle
diplomacy on Friday, pedaling around the Camp David
presidential retreat on mountain bikes.
The competitive Bush, who is about to turn 60, promised the
ride did not constitute a race against Rasmussen, who is a lean
and fit 52.
"No, we're old," Bush told reporters after a joint news
conference with Rasmussen, before their ride. Then he corrected
himself: "One of us is old. I'm taking a lesson."
Bush has taken up mountain biking in the last few years
because running was too hard on his legs. In good physical
shape, he hits the trails hard around his Crawford, Texas,
ranch and sometimes gets scratched up.
Rasmussen, whose country is notably bicycle-friendly, said
that health experts advise daily exercise.
"So before we even start thinking about lunch, I'm looking
forward to exploring Camp David in even greater detail on bike.
It's going to be hard work; I know that. But I will do my very
best to keep up with you, Mr. President," he said.

Loughner reportedly rocked back and forth in his chair during the proceedings Tuesday before blurting out, "Thank you for the freak show!" and "She died in front of me." U.S. marshals escorted him from the stunned courtroom.
If the treatment is successful and Loughner becomes mentally competent to stand trial, the realization of what he's charged with could be horrifying, Raison said.
"It's such a tragedy because, in many cases, when people are made less psychotic they're horrified at what they've done," Raison said. "I've known people that have killed themselves because of that."
But for the victims of the Tucson shooting and their families, sympathy for Jared Loughner may not come easily.
"The problem here is it's hard to apply justice to an insane act," Raison said. "You want somebody to blame."
Raison used the analogy of one rowboat slamming into another, knocking its passengers into the water.
"Does it make a difference that the rowboat had no driver?" he said. "That's what's going on here. There's no one driving the boat."

Life is a precious gift whose value can be assessed by remembering people who did not get it for many years & stepped into the life of Other World due to their death, other than the natural causes of someone's death,lies also an unexplained & undefined reason which has an emotional as well as a tragic side. Suicide.It is a last option for a person who does not wish to live anymore because of the hardships of life he is facing. To know the reason behind someone's sudden suicide is like writing water on water with water. But some people leaves behind some evidence which gives an idea what went through with them which forces them to take departure from this world. We are presenting to our readers the real text of suicide notes of some of the famous people in an attempt to know the reasons of their suicides. Here are some heart wrenching suicide notes
George was an English author,music composer,singer & actor.He acted in more than 100 films & also did some work on silver screen,his most notable work of acting was in All about Eve & Rebecca.His bass-full voice lend him many villainous roles in film industry.He was acknowledged for his work when he was given two stars on the Hollywood walk of fame but all the appreciation even did not stop him from taking his own life.On 25th April 1972,he was found dead in a Barcelona hotel.He died because of over consumption of barbiturate Nembutal which resulted in his cardiac arrest.Strange thing about his death was that his friend predicted in 1937 that George will commit suicide at the age of 65 which was his exact age at the time of his death.His suicide note read:
"Dear World, I am leaving because I am bored. I feel I have lived long enough. I am leaving you with your worries in this sweet cesspool. Good luck. (with his signature under the message)"
He was a Japanese philosophy student & a poet.His reason of popularity is his poem which he wrote on a tree before committing suicide.His story has an unfortunate angle of loving someone.He used to love a girl who rejected him & married someone else.He was so disturbed by this incident that he took his life.His poem written on a tree just before his suicide is as follows:
"Delicate line between heaven and earth…
The calm of the ages,
all the world's worth.
Such minuscule measure,
while we think it so grand…
Just five specks of smallness,
This soft quiet land.
So frail and so fleeting,
in the end you will see
Simple dreams were Horatio's philosophy.
For all the truth,
all creation,
all secrets of yore Can be told in an instant,
by then they're no more.
The Unexplainable All worries unsettled,
heartache unresolved…
All questions unanswered,
with death,
shall be solved.
We already teeter,
this sheer cliff so high.
When we fall to corruption,
insecurities die.
To end is to start;
to surrender is to know.
Despair and depression,
together they grow.
Hope shall meet hopeless when there's nowhere to go."
She was a news reporter at WXLT-TV & she came into spotlight for her suicide which aired on live TV.She was depressed about not having a romantic partner in her life & she has tried suicidal attempts before her final attempt too.She was romantically inclined towards her co worker reporter but she found that he was interested in sports reporter of WXLT-TV which further deepens her state of being depressed.Before her death she also had an argument with news staff who cut her covered story from running on TV to telecast live shooting.On the morning of July 15,1974 she insisted to read a newscast to open up her program which was an unusual demand from her.She covered three stories & then went on to saying "keeping with Channel 40's policy of bringing you the latest in blood and guts, and in living color, you are going to see another first: attempted suicide." & shot herself at the back of right ear.

"Dearest, I feel certain that I am going mad again. I feel we can't go through another of those terrible times. And I shan't recover this time. I begin to hear voices, and I can't concentrate. So I am doing what seems the best thing to do. You have given me the greatest possible happiness. You have been in every way all that anyone could be. I don't think two people could have been happier 'til this terrible disease came. I can't fight any longer. I know that I am spoiling your life, that without me you could work. And you will I know. You see I can't even write this properly. I can't read. What I want to say is I owe all the happiness of my life to you. You have been entirely patient with me and incredibly good. I want to say that—everybody knows it. If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. Everything has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness. I can't go on spoiling your life any longer. I don't think two people could have been happier than we have been."

"Goodbye, my friend, goodbye-My love, you are in my heart. It was preordained we should part-And by reunited by and by. Goodbye: no handshake to endure. Lets have no sadness-furrowed brow. There's nothing new in dying now-though living is no newer."
He was a fiction writer notable for his work of Herman Melville & Jack London.He tried to kill himself from a very young age due to bouts of chronic depression & went on to confess about his suicidal attempts in his writings.He wrote that the reason of his presence in this world is his mother who he loved dearly.When his mother went to coma,he got into his car & shot himself in the head,leaving behind this suicide note:

He was the founder of a famous rock band Nirvana who was found dead in his Lake Washington home with a gun pointing at his chin & his body had concentration of heroin with Valium.In his suicide note he addressed his imaginary childhood friend BODDAH & wrote:
"Thank you all from the pit of my burning, nauseous stomach for your letters and concern during the past years. I'm too much of an erratic, moody baby! I don't have the passion anymore, and so remember, it's better to burn out than to fade away.
Kurt Cobain
Frances and Courtney, I'll be at your altar. Please keep going Courtney, for Frances. For her life, which will be so much happier without me.
I love you, I love you!"

"When I am dead, and over me bright April Shakes out her rain drenched hair, Tho you should lean above me broken hearted, I shall not care. For I shall have peace. As leafey trees are peaceful When rain bends down the bough. And I shall be more silent and cold hearted Than you are now."
She was nominated at peak of her career for Grammy Award.The lead vocalist of the rock band Plasma-tics,made two prior suicidal attempts before her final suicide attempt in which she shot herself in a deserted area near her home.Her suicide note was:

His best film direction work was seen in films like Frankenstein,The Invisible Man,Bride of Frankenstein & The Old Dark House.After directing many successful films,his filmy career started declining which affected him to the extent of taking his life by his hands by drinking too much alcohol & jumping into swimming pool which resulted in his head hitting the bottom of the pool.Her suicide note was:

He was a controversial french writer who feared imprisonment due to her aggressive ideas.He took his life in 1974 & wrote these lines with her own blood:
" I, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas de Chamfort, hereby declare my wish to die a free man rather than to continue to live as a slave in a prison. And so I leave this world, where the heart must either break or turn to lead."
His shot to fame was his book "Hell's Angels: The Strange and Terrible Saga of the Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs". His father's death had a heavy impact on his memory.His suicide note was:
"No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun – for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax – This won't hurt."

Man Robbed at Gunpoint While at Rest Stop
The Whitman County Sheriff's Office is looking for anyone who may have witnessed an armed robbery at rest stop along highway 195 on Friday morning.

HYDERABAD: Birdwatchers' Society of Andhra Pradesh is organising a dawn-to-dusk HSBC-Hyderabad Bird Race on December 2, which will have teams of bird enthusiasts racing against each other to cover the city's bird spots. Who ever spots the maximum number of birds will be the winner.
The race will be flagged off from Hyderabad Public School at Begumpet at 6 a.m. and continue for 12 hours. Each team, named after a bird found in the region, will be led by an experienced bird watcher.
Winter in Hyderabad is the peak season for spotting elusive birds such as Blue Rock Thrush, Yellow Wagtail, and Northern Pintail, a press note from the Society said on Tuesday.

6 Steps that Made Ben a Better Change Manager
Ben is the new IT administrator of a large production company. Soon after joining, Ben learned that the company used outdated software to manage its payroll and used different applications to track employee absences and travel claims. This resulted in miscalculation of the amount payable by the company to the employee and vice versa. Often, the company paid the employees either more or less than the correct amount, which led to a lot of chaos.
Ben decided to tackle these issues by first implementing a new payroll software solution that came with two integrated modules, an expense module and an HR module. The expense module will track the travel expenses of the employees and the HR module will track …

5 Best Practices to Be a Successful Project Manager
As a project manager who's been around a while you would have experienced a visit to the project guillotine.

Ace Traits From the Tennis Court for IT Service Desk Pros
Close to midnight on January 29, 2012, Novak Djokovic was down and out at the Australian Open at the soldout Rod Laver Arena. Rafael Nadal had just seized all momentum from him and was on the verge of closing out the final set, with one hand already on the first major trophy of the year. The duration of the match had already exceeded the record for the longest match in a men's major final, and for Djokovic, this came on the heels of another five hour semifinal a couple nights before. With his back against the wall, his endurance severely tested and his skills diminishing at the same rate as his energy, Djokovic saw a ray of hope after Nadal made an uncharacteristic error. He regrouped and in an amazing display of …
Five Reasons Your IT Help Desk Should Move Away from Spreadsheets ASAP!
IT and IT support, as we all know, have started influencing the direction of business in organizations around the world. Understanding this influence, large organizations have implemented IT help desk software to manage their IT. However, many SMEs still hesitate to implement help desk software because they lack the budget and the specialized IT staff as well as the necessary capabilities required for implementation. Instead, they use spreadsheets to track and support issues in their IT. What SMEs fail to realize is that help desk software delivers the maximum return on investment to these organizations and helps them increase their productivity.

Four Overlooked But Highly Valuable Help Desk Questions
Sherlock Holmes has a unique power – the power of deduction. It doesn't mean he is an extraordinary person, but just a normal guy who loves to observe keenly and look for details in his object of interest. In a scene of crime, Sherlock can see those details that normally pass by normal or ignorant eyes. When asked, he says "I saw it because I was looking for it."
To know the right answer, you should know the right question. Same goes for our friends behind the IT service desk. We tend to overlook some important service desk data, because we were never looking for it in the first place. That's the lack of right questions. Being a technician, it's pays to have Sherlock Holmes's ke…

Human touch from deft cast brings life to 'Lion King'
As tragedy visits the pride and Simba is banished to the badlands, he's adopted by his amusing new friends Timon (Tyler Murree), a nervous little meerkat, and Puumba (Bob Amaral), who suffers from frequent, script-induced flatulence.
The young-adult Simba, played with an easy grace and pleasing vocal style by André Jackson, has to find a way to claim his rightful throne from Scar and his braying hyena buddies, and reunite with Nala (played as a grown-up by Marja Harmon, likewise an affecting singer).
Tying this all together as a saga from tribal myth is the baboon Rafiki, whose portrayal by the effervescent Phindile Mkhize — a master of vocal clicks and mesmerizing chant — ranks with the show's best (though Tony Freeman as the uptight bird Zazu gets many of the best laughs).
Taymor's dizzying inventions — dreamlike, diaphanous giraffes, antelopes that bound on bicycle wheels, lion masks that slide spookily onto actors' faces, a wildebeest stampede that's like a carnival carousel gone haywire — help elevate the tale from cartoon to timeless epic.
But it's the performers who bring the human into this saga's Circle of Life.

Firstly i want to thank you for the magic......
I went to Neerja, about 2yrs after starting my business,as i felt the need to earn and grow my passion, both monetary and a way to keep my mind well occupied.
I did 1 session of the "money" healing with her and then after about 3months, i reaped the results...............my store almost did more than double sales.
Suppliers i was unsure of, agreed to work with us.
So it was more than just income.....quite unthinkable.
I feel positive energy just flowed in,ofcourse i do continue to say to the universe
"what better can i ask for,how much better can it get"
Other personal issues also seem to be falling into place steadily.
Hope many more of you can benefit the same way, along with the will to work hard.

Neerja Maam,
Thanks a lot for the Mail u have send regarding the
Hypnotherapy Course (Clinical Hypnosis) to commence..I cannot
guarantee that at present time whether I shall be able to join
the course or not but to tell u a great fact that I myself got
benefit from ur Hypnotherapy session which I attended for a
day,and later I got much benefit in my mind through it (The
normal trend of the thoughts about thunder flash high pitched
sounds which always used to effect my mind every times even in
a clear day for almost a long time been regulated after
conducting your One Day Session..

Madam, With highest respect I am sending this mail to you. My wife Tania has been a patient of what has been previously detected to be severe bipolar disorder. But later her Doctors detected that to be a case of Paranoid Schizophrenia. When I sought for your help, she was schizophrenic, and under heavy dosage of tranquilizers, almost unaware of her surroundings.
When I came to know of your process of treatment, I had no idea of your way and also I must admit that I did have doubt of its efficacy. But now, as she is under your treatment for more than a year, she is almost back to normalcy in all respects and being her husband I must admit that only medicines would never have done such a magic cure for her within such a short time. Your process of treatment had brought her composure back, and one again she is back to her own lively self that she formerly was. Any words of appreciation regarding your process of treatment is insufficient to express my gratitude. I only wish that for all those who are affected with such disorder, they can have their life back to normalcy if they avail this treatment.
With best regards,

Juhee Jain
My name is Juhee Jain. I am a greeting card designer based out of
Kolkata. Yes, i have a career, i am single, have a loving family and friends. One would ask why then would i go to a therapist?
I am also a CLINICAL MANIC DEPRESSIVE PSYCHOTIC. I have been under the guidance of a psychaitrist for the past 21 YEARS now.Like most clinically challenged individuals, i've had my share of maniac triggers wherein i would think the world is a beautiful place, everything is perfect. And when i would go towards depression then the world would seem the bleakest place, my life would be very difficult. Even taking a bath would be a task! The mood swings reign in my daily life. With medication they were kept in check and i was able to function and appear "normal" to everyone around me.
As far as medication goes ive had: Lithium for 10 years, coupled with tegretol (2-3 years) and anxiety releasing medication- like
prozac, fludac, clonazepams and some tricyclic medicines also.
Currently i WAS on:
Sodium Valporate - 500 mg a day - a stabiliser for severe MDP Patients such as me, and ive had this for 15 years the dosage used to be 1000mg a day. Also not advisable for young women because of the side effects on the womb. But in my case because i am was a "RAPID
CYCLER"" which means that the phases from mania- depression could be experienced within 24hours, this was a medicine given to arrest the attacks Nexito Plus - was suggested to me for also helping me thru PMS before my Hystrectomy in2012. But we continued it because it helped keep anxiety at bay.
Premarin 0.625 - A HRT , HORMONE REPLACEMENT TABLET - because after my Hystrectomy in march 2012, January 2013, i was under severe depression and i was prescribed the
PRemarin- 0.625 mg tablet daily to help me with the hormone imbalance which my menopausal body was facing. However i was carrying on in life and during a phase where nothing seemed to be going right.
My work was very slow, i had loans, i was depressed, irritated, bugged and over and above very very anxious , worried and full of a lot of confusion & LOADS OF FEAR.It was at a time where i was groping in the dark i called Neerjaji went and met her ....
Neerjaji first "Heard MY Story"- and then on 4th APRIL 2013 i started my sessions of therapy with her. She VERY CLEARLY TOLD ME THAT AN MDP PATIENT CANNOT BE PUT THROUGH CLASSICAL HYPNOTHERAPY AS the mind is NOT BALANCED ENOUGH.
Ok this may sound like putting another nail in my coffin- but we started with her explaining the Human MInd and its relationship to the Emotions and she guided me thru
EET, Grounding Meditation, and her other techniques of deep sleep and from 20th APRIL 2013 TO DATE WHICH IS 26.JUNE 2013 I HAVE HAD NO MEDICATION FOR ANYTHING AT ALL.
If you check i stared by saying i am a severe case of MDP yes, I have tried
allopathy, homeopathy, soothsayer, alternative healing,everything to get some
releif. It has helped. BUT this is the FIRST time i have understood why i FEEL, THINK, React the way i do, what could be the possible causes for my depression andhow to get out of it.
GOING TO NEERJAJI AND HER CONSTANT GUIDANCE, EXPLANATIONS , AND THE DIVINE HAD COMPLETELY HEALED ME FROM THE NEED TO EAT MEDICINES. TODAY I AM BETTER- 2 months with her and i think roughly what 15 sessions with her
I am more focused and decisive,
I am not so angry/ irritable,
I do a LOT MORE WORK under much higher pressures now,
I travel with minimal fear of turbulence,
I am lesser fearful,
I am more practical,
I am a calmer person,
I am rooted.
I have mood swings but ive undertood that "normal ""people also have them and how to deal with them better and without any medication . Its ok to feel low someday or one day and work with the techniques taught and you can not control but i would say reach a sort of balanced state.
My mind no longer finds the time to vacillate so much.this is the shift in me in two months and the biggest is the fact that i am OFF MEDICTAION and i am working, partying , going about a daily normal life and i dont feel the need for medication. THe reason i wanted to pen this was for people who are suffering from Clinical disorders who have got diagnosed this is a route you could help yourself with - because it makes you self sufficient there is no room for becoming a parasite here. Either you follow the guidance ,trust and be open to a lot of tears, sleeping, dilemma and confusion and yet end of the day you can FEEL THE EMOTIONS CLICK IN PLACE, help yourself or get thrown out by
Neerjaji. Simple- her techniques and way of explaining things is very CLEAR and for a Layman its no rocket science and no magic. Its very hard work on her part as she puts in her soul to heal a person.
I wanted to reach out to people who may be in similar situations and DIS - eases like i was in, and explain that look for me this has WORKED I AM THRILLED. NO MEDICATION MEANS FREEDOM. Living a life where medicines, blood tests, doctors are what rule life is miserable.Coupled with mood swings trust me its a tough journey.But in the desert i found my oasis in the form of NEERJAJI who without actually doing "CLASSICAL HYPNOSIS"has made me experience why my mind functions in the way it does,and why my emotions jump up and down, how i can become aware and then keep my emotions at bay. Work with my fears, anxieties and worries. and overwhelm. No i will never get rid of my CORE STORIES and problems but i am learning to see things with a different and a more regimental, monitered way. I dont have to feel at a loss .. i still do feel the "BLUES" but no longer does the world seem like its gonna crash on me. I also am learning i do have choices and not just my mind but it is a much deeper part of me that is being worked on... and with each layer of ""my being"" unfolding and with each awareness and understanding i am feeling so much more empowered. The understanding and awareness is important. its just not a disease any more its me and i can chooce to simply learn to love myself and things start looking BRIGHTER!
Thankyou so much Neerjaji for accepting to work with me and so patiently, firmly and yet with so much of Affection you are showing me that a LOVE IS ALL IT TAKES TO HEAL ONESELF! Your a perfect blend of everything... ! Thankyou honestly!
Regards... Juhee

With my personal interest I hv been researching on hypnosis by self -reading and interactions with " Insitute of Mind control, Hyderabad " for the past two years.
I read several foreign authors book on hypnosis and self-hypnosis.
Believe me this is the FIRST TIME I hv across materials and user friendly scripts which makes one understand the "Theory of Mind " and really confident to go ahead and practice Hypnosis for self or others.
You are really a gem of a teacher- so practical, so friendly and so full of energy and enthusiasm !
I thought I must write this to you straight out from my heart and congratulate you and the entire team of California Hypnosis Institute of India for such a brilliant coverage in Level -1 of Hypnosis.
Being a corporate world person with intense pressures of Global marketing responsibility, I do not think I can have the time to proceed beyond Level -I, but the knowledge you hv provided in level - 1 is more than enough to sail comfortably in the life and corpporate world. It has given me all the answers about hypnosis I hv been seeking in my own small way to understand the human mind better.
Hope to meet you some day, when we get a chance to cross paths again in life.
I will always remember you as the First person who clearly and lucidly explained the basic principles and practice of Hypnosis.
Best wishes to you and your brilliant Institute !

SQL Server 2005 Tidbit 037
This question was asked at our event TODAY in Des Moines, IA.
"Can the SQL Server 2005 Database Engine Tuning Advisor (DTA) aslo tune databses running on SQL 2000?"
Short answer. YES!
And in fact, something I didn't mention at the event, but is also quite useful in the new tool; the new Database Engine Tuning Advisor (DTA) can also tune against MULTPLE databases at a time. So you're not limited to, oh, ONE database as you were in the SQL 2000 version of the tool (Index Tuning Wizard).
Here's a screenshot I saved that shows I've connected to that SQL 2000 instance, and have even selected multiple databases to tune.
(click it to see the enlarged screen capture)
Got an IT question? Give me a comment, or contact me.
Hey Kevin, did you have a chance to find out what events should be traced for the Upgrade Advisor?
Hi Steve,
No.. I haven't found the answer yet. I don't find it in the books online either. I've forwarded the question to some folks who hopefully will have an answer, and will post it as another SQL Server 2005 Tidbit soon.
Update: Got the answer. I'm going to post it as another SQL Tip.

Excellent Service!

I love this small-town vet clinic! We are between rural and city, so the price reflects that. The vet here is very willing to work with my minimal budget, but they also offer state-of the art service and equipment. Love them!
Pros: Very Friendly, knowledgeable
Cons: location for most?

Take back the contrast or embrace it? I have always run run run from busy backdrops when boudoir photographers around the world were purchasing those black and white damask backdrops I was shaking my head with a hell no. What happens however when you're on location and you don't have a choice. Do you run from it or embrace it. I posted a photo from this shoot and there was an instant splitting of very strong opinions between like and don't like so I edited the shoot dropping the contrast and embracing it, here is how I did it and I hope it helps you when you find yourself with a backdrop asking for more attention than your client.
Canon 5D iii ISO 640 1/50s 1.8 (for background and hair blur) 50mm 1.2 lens Light Kinoflo thru scrim Late afternoon light
Out of camera tones are very soft and neutral, obviously throwing yellow.
Open in PS and up curves for a little more contrast.
Open in Alienskin Polaroid SX-70 Blend 75% – one of my top used like it but keep looking
Color fading – Color Photo Warm Skin at 40% (definitely like the contrast and color pop)
Stay in fading Kodachrome 40% with dust and scratches removed subdued and more grungy not a beauty look
and thats what I stayed with Kodachrome 40% with dust and scratches removed up the contrast a little. Once I find the tone and mood of an image in editing I generally stick with the same tone of all the sequence of images in that one outfit or backdrop. I like uniformity it looks more professional and you definitely see consistency which is a good thing.
Out of camera: Some people would be horrified when images came out so flat and neutral but my camera picture style setting is set to neutral with two stops contrast dialed down. What I get is an even perfectly exposed image that I can do anything with. Before you flip over that statement my work has always had a flatness and softness to it it is my signature look. So before you start to preach to me about the RULES remember I don't follow them.
I have always been drawn to cold editing I like anything that takes the skin tones slightly away from red which is normal. I have always liked slightly desaturated images so my go too here was Color Films Vintage Kodachrome 35mm faded (Would you believe a film I actually shot on for years in the 90's)
Color Fading Color Photo Warm Skin so I also try the opposite because how do you know unless you try this whole fading set is seriously yummy
I ended up with this Polaroid 600 Brown Highlights then I went to textures and put a texture over it. Dial back the texture over the face with Protect and drop the opacity of the texture for subtlety
The texture gives the wallpaper a vintage look there is contrast on her and a more faded look on the backdrop
Pulled away from wall a little more a nice shallow f/1.8 and soft light on the face
experimented with the cold tones and then the warms
I actually finished with this a perfect mix of both this was the warmer of the two with command B plus 10 blue and command M curves more contrast
Out of camera This was my first light test before I bought a reflector close to her obviously sitting on the edge of under exposed more drama on the face but I really liked it the natural shadow around her face this not what I normally do, you know I like to bring up the face light and flat so I wondered if I edited it a little gutsy and dramatic if I could make it work
Straight to the polaroid filters because they are the drama filters I like the best
This was in the Vintage range and towards Cyan
and then I went Textures used protect around the face and cropped a little tighter
Tessa is building a model folio to try to get model work I enjoyed being a little bit more fashion in my otherwise glam portrait world and it's always good to try something new.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Helen Ewing, DHSc, MN, RN (A. T. Still University)
Description: This book provides an excellent summary of research that has been done in the area of evidence-based healthcare management decision-making and discusses how the theory can be applied to leadership practice.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide the theory and skills needed to make effective and appropriate healthcare business decisions based on the available evidence. The book stresses the need to base decision-making on sound research theory that promotes thoughtful analysis and results in positive outcomes.
Audience: The ideal audience for this book would be people currently in healthcare leadership positions and those aspiring to management and decision-making roles. It also would be an excellent resource for students learning about the principles of leadership and decision-making.
Features: Each well-designed chapter presents a case study of an example of the decision-making process being. Many important topics for leaders or managers are addressed: how research and evidence applies in decision making; how evidence-based management strengthens healthcare organizations; and methods for finding the required evidence. The book is visually attractive with good use bulleting and bolding of headings to enhance navigability. Many text boxes and graphics highlight main points. Of significant value are the sections providing guidelines for applying the theory to practice and for identifying practical tips on how to actually use the evidence in healthcare leadership positions. The use of case studies to exemplify the theory is artfully done and adds to the value of the book.
Assessment: This is a useful tool for healthcare leaders who would like to improve their decision-making skills. In today's turbulent financial environment, it is vital that leaders make decisions based on the evidence to enhance the likelihood of positive outcomes.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) the "unprecedented" outbreak of Ebola in West Africa has killed 900 people out of 1,323 infected since February and some global airlines have already suspended services to the region.
Addressing members of his Zanu PF party's central committee in the capital Wednesday, Mugabe said although southern Africa has not yet recorded any Ebola outbreak, he fears for his soldiers in Liberia and had told the minister of health to look at the possibility of recalling them.
"We have our people serving with the UN units in Liberia. Are they safe? We need to take precautions. Let us not expose ourselves. Even when we withdraw our people, the question is have they not been affected by disease already," he said.
Mugabe said he had discussed the matter with his Health minister, David Parirenyatwa who had earlier indicated that would not be ideal to pull out before he changed his mind and supporting the veteran leader.
"The minister of health said no, let us wait a bit because we have just sent a doctor to go and help. But this morning (Thursday) he said he had a re-thought about the matter, perhaps we should withdraw our people there," Mugabe said.
The veteran leader expressed surprise at learning that Zimbabwe had even deployed prison officers to Liberia.
"These (people) don't just include police officers ... I hear we even have prison officers serving in Liberia, I wonder why we send prison officers to serve in other countries? But perhaps the information may not be that accurate.
"We must not expose ourselves unnecessarily. I hope those who will be from there if we withdraw them will be people who will not carry magerms eEbola iyoyii for now we have been safe in our region."
According to International media reports, the Ebola has wreaked havoc in Liberia forcing authorities to quarantine relatives of those who have died.
Parirenyatwa recently issued an alert for the deadly warning Zimbabweans to be "on the lookout for symptoms".
"Government would like to warn the public that the possibility of an Ebola outbreak in Zimbabwe is very real," he said then.
"The continuous movement of people across borders means the virus can come into Zimbabwe in a matter of hours hence our people have to be on high alert and report to the nearest medical centre if they detect any symptoms related to Ebola," Parirenyatwa warned.
The minister said, as the next deputy chairperson of the SADC Health Ministers Council, he would try and persuade counterparts in the region to put the Ebola item on the agenda.
