Socio-economic survey of Auroville employees
Central point
When the task of building Auroville was given by Mother to a group of seekers around 35 years ago, it envisaged the recovery of the ecosystem, the building of the first settlements and the starting of Matrimandir. The intention and objectives were shared with the neighbours living in the villages around the newly obtained pieces of land where the township was to be built. Moreover, there was a meeting point, work. Gradually, the labour force to build the city was assembled, comprising men and women from the local villages together with men and women from all over the world.
In the early days the population of the neighbouring villages was not so great, maybe 25-30,000. Presently, in the year 2000, it has increases increased to nearer 40,000, thanks to immigration and the normal increase in population. (The entire bioregion of Auroville covers some 50 villages, though not all are in the immediate vicinity of the future township.)
Without specifically aiming for this, Auroville has become a central point for most of these villages. It is in daily contact with them through labour relations and various educational and other programmes. While no one planned this from the beginning, it has slowly evolved this way.
We will depict here some of the features that we have been collecting during the last fifteen years from the villages around Auroville. Since this type of research has not been done from the very beginning in a planned and organised way, we are not able to present a statistical analysis of the economic impact Auroville has on the villages. Current attempts to do this have however started from different perspectives and will definitely throw enormous light on this symbiosis in the near future.
Job security
Without any doubt, the presence of our Tamil neighbours in Auroville itself has been increasing day by day, and not only from the 50 villages around but also from farther away villages and middle-sized towns. We work with more or less 5,000 people a day in Auroville. That means that in each of these families at least one permanent monthly income is available from the wages of either the father, the mother or a youth working in Auroville. This job security represents an economic security for many households, a fact which allows them to improve aspects of their lives according to their priorities. We can definitely affirm that there is more circulation of cash throughout the local communities, and this is very noticeable as well. As a general rule, the wages paid in Auroville to the workers are higher than those around the area or in Pondicherry town due to our policy of dignified salaries.
Living conditions
Thanks to the presence Auroville, there has been a gradual improvement in living conditions in the villages. The transfer of various techniques of appropriate technology which have been adopted by or developed in Auroville has been applied in two ways: either through development schemes worked out by Auroville and the local government and implemented in the villages concerned, or instigated by the villagers' own initiative. The construction materials frequently used in the villages today are far more durable (reinforced cement/concrete, ferrocement channels, tiles, etc) than the traditional ones. Style and design often reflect the models of housing found in Auroville.
Change in agriculture
Presently a considerable number of villagers are in the economic position of acquiring new land for commercialising agriculture. This brings to light that in the nearby villages a great change in the increase of land prices has taken place, to the point of creating inflationary trends due to speculation. The picture of agriculture has veered away from cultivation of paddy, groundnuts, and cereals to growing casuarinas, sugarcane, cashew nuts, etc. This change is largely due to the scarcity of the labour force, since the feminine and youth labour forces, who both used to work in the agrarian sector, have now been absorbed by Auroville or nearby towns through schooling, the service sector, construction, handicrafts or export units.
Qualified labour
Auroville is a place where 'training' of the labour force is taking place either intentionally or unintentionally through the work activity performed. This learning in the work place has been an important input for men and women, resulting in new awareness, self-esteem and personal gain. The result is that many local people can now compete in the qualified labour market within or outside Auroville, or become managers of their own enterprise, providing the local population with yet more opportunities for employment.
Educational programmes
Many educational programmes have been implemented in the area, either through formal education or through programmes of adult education in areas such as social awareness, health, agriculture, recovery of traditional medicines, local infrastructural development, savings opportunities and reforestation. While these continue to function as a strong stimulus for the villagers, the latter have now the opportunity to either take their own initiative and develop their own enterprises, or choose to participate in the already existing programmes worked out by Auroville. Both are encouraged.
Through the services provided by Auroville for the improvement of health, control over epidemics, conditions of sanitation, water sources, ante- and post-natal care, and efforts towards reduction in birth rate and female infanticide, there gradually emerges a new outlook on life, where life and health are related and better understood by the majority of people.
There is, however, a drawback in the "increased family income" situation where men, women and youth are all working, and it is one widely recognised in developing countries today. This problem is the increase in consumption of alcohol in the region. As of today, approximately 80% of the older male population and 5% of the youth drink alcohol on a regular basis. This practice, according to the women in the villages, pushes them - the women - to become the breadwinners in absence of the full support of the income of the male head. They express that the husbands spend more or less 50% of their income in alcohol, and contribute to the family only 20 or 30%. Moreover, the new fashion of the younger generation of boys is to treat the household AS if they were paying guests: they pay towards the running of the household only the equivalent of what they eat, whereas in the case of the younger working daughter it is demanded that she entirely hands over whatever she earns in order to help the mother run the family. Another facet of the same practice is that the selling of liquor has been so profitable in the last years that shop owners work out an agreement with the village panchayats (local authorities) whereby a considerable donation per year is given to be invested in programmes of community development i.e. temple improvement, land purchase, etc.
Women's clubs
One successful attempt towards solving the economic problems of village women running households has been a programme of savings. Here, with the support of Auroville, they initiate their own women's clubs with one of their objectives being the development of a savings scheme. Presently some of these clubs own up to Rs. 4 lakhs which can be used as a loan scheme in times of need. These projects have made the women independent OF the pressure of money lenders, and enabled them to be their own organisers of the loan scheme. At present, over 1,000 women from 43 villages are saving and taking loans from group savings. This capacity for saving helps them when confronted with economic crises, and also substantially enhances their self-esteem and recognition by their family and the community.
The women are now very much aware of the developmental problems, and it happens more and more that they are part of committees that deal with labour contribution towards construction of infrastructure needed in their villages. In some communities they also take part in local politics, albeit often 'for namesake' representation only.
New trends
Generally speaking, it is easy to perceive that new trends of consumption are now consolidating: most of the households in villages falling within 5 kms radius from Auroville have 2-wheeler motor vehicles, television with cable connection, cassette players, music tapes, radios and electro-domestic devices like fans and mixer/grinders. Most families have also adopted new dress styles for their young girls and boys, and commonly wear gold chains and watches. Some 80% of the children go to school, some of them to private schools. One can also observe the increase in expenditure for social functions like ear-piercing ceremonies, puberty ceremonies, and especially for weddings, where a minimum of Rs 1 lakh ($ ) is spent. Before, all these expenditures were modest, and simply not possible for the average population, while today the majority can afford them.
New social perspectives
One of Auroville's concerns today is to help the younger generation to acquire new social perspectives and personal responsibilities. For this, the youth have to be guided to work for their community, developing healthy personal, emotional and social habits, helping them to also organise savings schemes, exposing them to new findings in education, sports, culture, technology and social issues.
The villages appear like satellites of Auroville, where both sides have been gaining from each other, not only economically, but also in values, practices and material wealth. The villagers have been not only earning a salary, but have also been enabled to set a course in life without much imposition from Auroville. We are in a constant dynamic state of exchange, and this is a form of wealth from which both sides benefit.
Much more still needs to be done, but real long term change can only be achieved when it is allowed to emerge from within, naturally, gradually, organically. Auroville can only plant the seeds.

Piper's first-quarter revenue, sales continue upward trend
VERO BEACH — Piper Aircraft Inc. saw first-quarter revenue and sales numbers take off, with deliveries increasing more than 40 percent from the same period last year.
"Piper's performance in the first quarter of 2012 gives us a good start on the year. It also gives us an upward trend in first-quarter results for the past three years," said Piper President and Chief Executive Officer Simon Caldecott in a release announcing the results.
The aircraft manufacturer delivered 37 airplanes in the first quarter of this year compared with 26 during the first quarter of 2011. New aircraft sales revenue grew more than 20 percent to $31.578 million compared with just under $26.160 million during the same period last year.
International deliveries continued to outpace domestic sales during the first quarter, which Caldecott said "reinforces the success of our strong globalization strategy.
"Thus far this year in Europe, for example, our delivery and order-taking performance for M-class business airplanes and also our smaller aircraft is far outstripping our sales projections for that part of the world and we are pleased with that," he said. The M-class planes include the higher-priced Mirage, Matrix and Meridian.
During the last quarter, Piper delivered 21 airplanes internationally and 16 in the U.S.
On Monday, Indian River County Commissioner Peter O'Bryan noted the significance of those international sales in bringing outside money into the U.S. and Indian River County economy.
In the first quarter of 2011, Piper sold a few less planes than the year before but its revenue still increased by more than 40 percent from the prior year because of increased sales of its higher-priced models. Those first-quarter numbers were a bit reflective of how Piper did for the year as a whole. While overall deliveries were down from 160 to 136 last year, the company saw revenues increase by more than 9 percent from $120.2 million to $131.2 million. International sales accounted for more than 50 percent of the airplanes sold last year.
The number of aircraft delivered last year was more than 50 percent above 2009 numbers when the company was feeling the brunt of the economic downturn.
The company experienced a dramatic drop in employment following the 2008 downturn, with the number of workers falling below 600 in the summer of 2009. Staffing later grew back to about 850 workers before Piper announced last year it was suspending its light business jet program and laying off more than 100 employees and releasing 55 contract workers.
That reduction in jobs meant the company was not able to reach certain employment benchmarks contained in a financial incentive package signed with the state and county, although it did meet other performance benchmarks. As a result, Piper might have to pay back part of the $10.7 million it received earlier pending the outcome of ongoing renegotiations with the state.
Last week, in response to an inquiry about how long the renegotiations were taking, Department of Economic Opportunity spokesman James Miller said that "each renegotiation is unique, and some take longer to get completed than others due to different factors. As with any contract negotiation, our goal is to ensure Florida receives the biggest positive economic impact possible."

German press release tips LG G Watch R price at €299 price point
Whilst LG have realised that the market clearly want a round watchface and have answered the masses with the LG G Watch R, the major factor that could differentiate this offering from the Moto 360 still remains unknown.
However, according to LG's PR department, the G Watch R will retail for €299, or $400. The PR department weren't done there though, and have pegged the release for European markets as October.
Whilst the €299 price point won't translate directly into US Dollars, it will still have to come down quite a bit to beat the $249 price of the Moto 360.

Suffolk University and New England Cable News have formed a partnership that will allow NECN to broadcast from the University's new state-of-the-art television studio at 73 Tremont St.
NECN, which is headquartered in suburban Newton, will use the Suffolk University TV studio in downtown Boston for live reports and for interviews with newsmakers from City Hall, Beacon Hill and the Financial District.
"We are very excited about this partnership, which will not only give NECN access to a wonderful downtown studio, but also to the expertise of Suffolk professors,'' said NECN President and General Manager Charles J. Kravetz. "We very much look forward to working together to enrich our coverage of Boston, and to forging a long alliance with a great institution.''
Mayor Thomas M. Menino is scheduled to sit down May 22 with Jim Braude, host of NECN's NewsNight program, as NECN's first guest from the studio.
The high-definition studio opened in February to provide the latest technology to television production and broadcast journalism classes within the University's Communication and Journalism Department.
"We're proud to partner with such a venerable news organization," said Suffolk University President David J. Sargent. "Our partnership with NECN adds a whole new dimension to a studio that is already enabling Suffolk students to receive state-of-the-art experience in television studio production."
The studio is equipped with three high-definition digital cameras, a full lighting grid and a state-of-the-art control room. It features a ticker tape and multiple video screens visible to pedestrians along Tremont Street.

About our Associate
SPANA (Society for the Protection of Animals Abroad) was established in 1923 and is one of the longest serving international animal welfare charities.
Through a network of 19 animal hospitals and 21 mobile clinics, SPANA provides free veterinary treatment to around 380,000 animals each year in some of the poorest communities across Africa and the Middle East. Without their help, many working animals would continue to suffer from the effects of poverty and ignorance.
SPANA can also respond immediately to crises, such as when a natural disaster strikes or at a time of civil unrest or war. Their Emergency programmes will dispatch help whenever and wherever animals are in distress.
They concentrate their efforts wherever animals are mistreated, neglected or struggling to survive without proper care. Many animals spend long, tiring days ploughing fields while others are used to carry heavy loads such as building materials or containers of water. Some suffer horrific injuries as a result of practices handed down from generation to generation, such as the use of barbed wire harnessess or using a red-hot iron to treat wounds.
In addition to giving immediate aid to sick animals, they also offer long-term solutions to improving their health and welfare, such as explaining the serious harm such primitive practices can have on an animal.
In many poor families, children often play an important role in caring for working horses, donkeys and camels. So SPANA visits schools, where they can impress upon young minds the importance of looking after animals properly. In this way, they are trying to stamp out the ill treatment of working animals forever. They teach both the animals' owners and their children the best way to care for their animals.
They believe "in the importance of the working animal be it a donkey, mule, horse or camel, as an integral unit in the self sufficiency of family groups in the poorer parts of the world... The improvement in the welfare of all working animals through adequate feeding and watering, and the provision of veterinary care, will enable each one to give a better service and enjoy an enhanced quality of life to the benefit of all. Investment in care for the animal is repaid by the contribution it makes as a healthy working asset to its dependents".

- Top 5 side scroller beat em ups of all time
3 years ago#1
So I thought I'd throw out a new topic. But I'm also curious what are peoples' personal favorite 2D beat em ups. What's your top 5?
Mine are:
1)Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow Over Mystara
2)Streets of Rage 2
3)King of Dragons
4)Streets of Rage 3
5)Alien vs Predator
And an honorable mention goes to "Warriors of Fate". One of the first ones I played in the arcades...good times.
Man, this game couldn't come any sooner, I'm dying for a new one in this genre!
Deathcore is garbage.
3 years ago#2
1. Denjin Makai 2/Guardians
2. The Punisher
4. Cadillacs & Dinosaurs
5. SoR 2
3 years ago#3
1. Final Fight
2. River City Ransom
3. Knights of Valor 2
4. King of Dragons
5. Shadow Over Mystara
I'm also a big fan of Bayou Billy because of how difficult it gets later on. Fun times.

Well, Guardian Heroes and Ragnarok Battle Offline rank as two of my favorites, but I'm not sure they really fit under the same genre since they use locked planes (although you can switch planes in Guardian Heroes, RBO is just a single plane, I still like the combos system, level system and skill trees, though).
For games more in the same genre as Dragon's Crown, probably Shadow Over Mystara, followed by Aliens vs. Predator, Battle Circuit, Armored Warriors, and Turtles in Time (arcade, not the stupidly easy console version).
I have to give Capcom some credit. Back in the day, they really did push the genre a lot harder than other companies of the time. Equipable weapons, useable items, loot and stores, gaining experience and levels and stats based on the pen and paper game for the D&D games. And everything was in the right abundance to make every item seem special. You had the interchangeable parts in Armored Warriors and the money system and the buyable special moves in Battle Circuit. I still play a lot of Aliens vs. Predator for the fast paced combo-oriented gameplay and the abundance of special weapons. I guess Turtles in Time I still enjoy for the nostalgia value, although the game was deeper than most other Konami beat'em ups. It still had the cheap as hell AI, though. Frustrating at times, but it made the game feel more rewarding than simply sliding through every fight in the SNES game.

Except Winky Soft's Denjin Makai 2 (1995) was light years ahead of anything Capcom or anyone else ever did with the genre. Eight characters, easily double or triple the normal amount of moves for all characters, balanced AI, a scoring system that rewards combo experimentation, and a detailed and completely original "90's sci-fi OVA" aesthetic. It's a crime against good taste that it went entirely ignored even in Japan.
The original Denjin Makai ain't bad either, though it's much more basic and has stolen graphics/sounds from Capcom games.

It's an alright game, I wouldn't count it in my top 5, though. The controls were too clunky for my tastes. Having a lot of specials is fine if you can find a good way to make it work with your control interface. I don't feel they pulled that off in Denjin Makai 2.

4. Revenge of Shinobi
5. Golden Axe
Virtua Fighter 5 FS out on PSN/XBL!!
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R confirmed for PSN/XBL

Revenge of Shinobi is an action platformer. It's more comparable to Ninja Gaiden.
Although NG is superior. RoS had that pimp Yuzo Koshiro Genesis era ost tho'.
1)Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow Over Mystara
2)Streets of Rage 2
3)King of Dragons
4)Streets of Rage 3
5)Alien vs Predator
Tis a good list though I'm a bit "WTF!?" with the King of Dragons mention at number 3.
KOD is an awesome game. Definitely top 10 material. It was just more of a beta for the actual D&D beat em ups that came later.
My top 5 is similar to yours but I'd replace KOD with Night Slashers at No. 3.
I liked Cadillac & Dinosaurs far more than Aliens vs Predator but AvP did have a deeper combat system with actual special move inputs like a fighting game.
AvP also had badass bonus levels.
I find it interesting how nobody is listing Konami beat em ups but that's swell. I never liked them much anyway. Konami beat em ups were only good with 4 player co-op.
Even SNK rocked some better hack n slashes such as Sengoku 3.

hi, i have a problem with my computer that keeps losing space on hard drive. i have 1000mhz dell with 248mb ram and 40gb hard drive. i found that some other people here asked about losing space on their hard drives before as well but most of them made some changes to their systems and then noticed losing hard drive space. i didn't change anything in my system. recently i needed some more free space so i deleted few large files so i got something like 5GB of free space on my hard drive. after i restarted my computer next day i noticed i already had just little bit above 1GB. i knew i had about 5GB day before , just after deleting those files because i checked it. i used some software to clean my computer and delate some files that i didn't need. i got about 1.5GB of space. after few days during i downloaded few small files, i noticed my hard drive free space dropped again to something above 200mb. so today i deleted one large file and i received over 800mb of free space. it was an hour ago. after i restarted my computer i noticed i have again little bit over 200mb. where is my free space? how can i get it back? does anybody have any idea what's going on with my computer? i would appreciate helping me. thank you so much. i am sorry i made it so long. i just wanted to describe it as good as i could. thank you again. i hope somebody can help me.
Empty the Recycle Bin
Empty the Windows 'temp' folder (C:\windows\temp)
Scan the drive with Scandisk
Adjust or clear your System Restore settings:
Control Panel -> System -> Performance -> File System
Scan for virus/malware
We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true
If you use Norton A/V, the protected recycle bin can cause this. Empty it and adjust it so it doesn't use so much space or disable it.
hi, thank you for your help, both of you :) don't use norton though but scandrive helped me and i got back my 5gb :) thank you so much again. i appreciate your help :)

Hi, hope someone has some advice. After several long months of being told my 3 year old daughter was asthmatic, I have been back to to docs for the 100th time today as I'm convinced they were wrong. I saw a differen doctor who took on board what I've been saying all along .... my daughter doesn't wheeze but does cough severely during the night to the point of been sick. She also snores very loudly and is prone to frequent colds and mucus. I saw a different doctor today who took the time to check her thoroughly, he has referred her to ENT as he said she has excessively large tonsils and adenoids and although they aren't infected, they are causing the problems she is experiencing. He said they may also look at inserting gromits if they find a lot of fluid in her middle ear. He said removal of the adenoids and tonsils will improve her condition dramatically ... has anyone else been through this with their child? Thanks

Compared to a tonsillectomy, an adenoidectomy is less traumatic and painful.

Heeya Guys,
I'm kinda going through this but my tonsillitis is getting better. I would just go through with the surgery if she is missing alot of school and is suffering alot. Just go through with it but then just say like, If you do it you get to eat mountains of ice cream with any saunce you like. You can eat lots of sweets. Just say that and they will go with it because they'll be soo happy with the rewards they will get at the end.
I'm no expert on this but that probaly will work. Hope I helped!

My daughter is 3 and was diagnosed with asthma and execma months ago. She has always had coughs and colds, at 1 she had croup for the first time which was frightening, and since then, she has seen a paediatrician and been on ventolin and beclametasone (steroid) inhalers. She has just had chicken pox, along with tonisllitis again, and does snore, and back in hospital with croup again. I don't know why nothing is helping her. Once a cough or cold gets her, it starts everything off again.Not sure if she needs to see an ENT doctor, does anybody have any other ideas? thanks.

My daughter is seventeen months old and has recently been diagnosed with enlarged tonsils and inflammed adenoids after countless trips to the doctor's. l saw a really good specialist at Leicester childrens hospital who has prescribed a steroid nose drop and an antihistamine to see if that will reduce the adenoids and tonsils enabling her to breath much better. Since we have been to Leicester about 2 weeks ago she is sooo much better, sleeps well and the runny nose is a thing of the past. We still have bad nights when the weather is bad but not as bad as before. Before l saw the specialist l had seen a p***k of an ENT doctor who had told me that my daughter needed surgery pronto but l had asked for a second opinion. Dont be afraid to trust your instincts and push until you get results. Hope it helps xxxx

Something is definately causing your baby to have frequent coughs that the doctors are not picking up. if l were you l would go online and do a bit of research for similar problems you might find some information that could be helpful, which you could also run through with you doctor. l would also keep a diary of what she eats, how she is when she is okay or what exactly triggers her episodes it might help you pinpoint whats happening to your child. l videotaped mine and took the evidence to the doctors, she had problems breathing when sleeping but they kept telling me she was okay which she wasnt. the video did the trick and she got the help she needed.

Hi everyone. My 3 year old son has had breathing difficulties whilst sleeping for the past 6 months. His chest sucks in and out alarmingly, he stops breathing for up to 10 seconds at a time and snores incredibly loudly. Niether myself or my husband have slept well since this started as it's just so frightening to watch.
Armed with a video of him asleep I went to our GP who immediately diagnosed obstructive sleep apnoea due to enlarged tonsils and adenoids. He referred us to ENT and assured us that they would simply remove them. After waiting 7 weeks for our ENT appointment we finally went, armed again with video, to be told that snoring was common in children, he didn't have a problem and that we were being over-protective parents. Shocked, we came away from the hospital but agreed to see how our son managed for a few weeks before going back to the GP.
His problems didn't ease so again we went back to our GP who was dismayed at the ENT doctors diagnosis and attitude. So, after another 7 week wait we were back to see another ENT doctor....and surprise, surprise again we were told there was nothing to worry about! Gobsmacked, I went straight back to our GP, again, who phoned the hospital directly and made us an appointment at paediatrics.
Paediatrics were brilliant. The doctor agreed that there was a significant issue with our son and within 6 days he had a sleep study done at the hospital. My son was found to be having episodes of sleep apnoea regularily throughout the night, with his oxygen saturation level dipping as low as 83% on occasions. Conclusion, what we knew all along in that he required his tonsils and adenoids out!!!
We're due back at ENT today to have a quick once-over and schedule the operation. Sods law though that my son has come out in what I think are chickenpox this morning. I've spent the past 2 hours trying to speak to someone at the hospital to ask if he can still attend but nobody can give me an answer!
Anyway, fingers crossed they'll see him today and we may be a little closer to finally getting him on the mend!

We saw a new ENT doctor yesterday who, having read the results of the sleep study, was very apologetic that the hospital had messed us about and has booked my son in for an emergency operation to remove his tonsils and adenoids on 7th June.
Proves that a parents instincts can be right and that a little persistance pays off in the end!
Lets just hope that the chickenpox have gone by then!

Frequent colds and coughs are common with patients with Asthma. Making a child warm (24 hour a day) should be the choice of preventive measure that you should take as regards your child's case.
Adenoidectomy or Tonsillectomy is not a solution for a patient who does not have frequent attacks of tonsillitis (usually the result of chronic infection that cannot be controlled). ENT consult is needed only when a patient having tonsillitis has complications of tonsillar infection, such as Peritonsillar Abscesses.
Besides, attempting Tonsillectomy on a patient having Asthma may cause post-op complications.
Please don't pay attention to the snoring of a child while sleeping. This should not be an indication for tonsillectomy operation.

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia's foreign minister says he expects the extensive humanitarian aid mission for eastern Ukraine to enter the country in the near future.
Speaking at news conference in Berlin, where he met a day earlier with his counterparts from Ukraine, France and Germany, Sergey Lavrov said Monday that "all questions" regarding the mission had been removed and that agreement had been reached with Ukraine and the international Red Cross.
It was not clear if Lavrov was referring to security guarantees, which the Red Cross wants to receive from all sides, including eastern Ukraine's separatist fighters, before accompanying the more than 200 trucks into Ukraine.
A Red Cross spokeswoman in the region where the trucks are parked told The Associated Press earlier Monday that they were still waiting for the security guarantees.

Transferring fat to the breasts (lipomodeling) is truly one of today's greatest cosmetic enhancement breakthroughs. To be able to perform a breast augmentation with fat allows our fat grafting New York patients to receive multiple benefits:
- Nothing foreign is used in the body.
- The procedure is scar free.
- There is a much lower risk of rejection by the body.
- Environmentally sound, "green" procedure by recycling the body's own fat cells for use in the breasts.
- Harvest points of the body such as the hips, waist, thighs and belly can be sculpted.
- Fat injection to breasts is completely flexible; the procedure is a custom breast augmentation to enhance existing breast shape and volume.
- Fat injection phase of the procedure can be done under local anesthetic, lowering the risks and high cost associated with general anesthesia.
- Unused fat can be stored in a fat storage / stem cell bank for future use in cosmetic procedures and even has the potential for use in adult stem cell medical treatments.
- Fat is the perfect breast filler for patients who have had lumpectomy or mastectomy.
Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation After Mastectomy
Another wonderful benefit of using your own body fat is for breast reconstruction. Our fat transfer breast augmentation surgeon, Dr. Diktaban, is triple trained and Double Board Certified to perform reconstructive surgery on the breasts using fat injections. Mastectomy patients have been coming to Dr. Diktaban for years because he provides natural results and top safety records.
After going through the trauma of breast cancer, losing part of all of your breasts, and then the difficult treatment phase…the last thing you want to worry about is the competency of your plastic surgeon. With over 30 years of plastic surgeon experience, Dr. Diktaban has the experience it takes to help breast cancer survivors to restore the breasts that they lost.
In our fat grafting surgical centers in Long Island and Manhattan, Dr. Diktaban can provide patients with breast reconstruction in two phases: fat harvesting and fat transfer. The first phase is done under general anesthesia to remove enough body fat from the hips, thighs and abdomen to transfer to the breasts. Once the patient has had the fat harvested it is purified so that only the fat and adult stem cells remain. The fat is then properly cold stored for the patient until their next step can be completed: the fat transfer phase.
The body fat and stem cells are then transferred to the breasts via fat injections so that missing breast volume, dips, or contour irregularities can be corrected. Patients can even choose to have additional fat used in their fat transfer breast augmentation so that cup size can be increased.
What About Future Mammograms To Make Sure The Cancer Hasn't Returned?
Studies published in the March 2011 edition of the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Journal show that mammograms are not negatively affected by a fat transfer procedure. In fact, even after sixteen months following fat transfer to the breasts, radiologists did not find any mammogram abnormalities that triggered false positive results.
This is great news for our patients who have had breast cancer; you don't need to worry about your mammogram being inaccurate!
If you are considering a fat transfer breast augmentation or breast reconstruction, we can help you naturally enhance your breasts. We offer free consultations at our New York locations in Long Island and Manhattan. Contact Advanced Cosmetic Surgery of New York today! Call us at 212-206-0023 or 631-499-1831 today.

Group to file petitions blocking new election law
PHOENIX (AP) - A group opposed to a sweeping Republican-backed election law signed into law by Gov. Jan Brewer in June plans to file petitions supporting a referendum on Wednesday.
Protect Your Right to Vote says it has more than enough signatures to block the law from taking effect until voters can review it during the November 2014 general election.
House Bill 2305 was passed in the last hours of the legislative session over the opposition of Democrats. They called it a thinly veiled effort to keep Republicans in power by creating new hurdles for low-income voters and some candidates.
Supporters say it cleans up early-voting rolls, evens the playing field for third-party candidates and will ensure quicker election results.
The group must have 86,405 valid signatures.

Biofeedback Provides Tools to Guide Effective Use of Medication07/17/2014
Biofeedback – When a behavioral problem such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is diagnosed, selecting medication to best treat it can become a matter of trial and error. Analyzing brain patterns by using electroencephalography (EEG) can help predict which medicine will offer the best result and thus lower the risk of adverse drug events. Recognizing brain patterns can be a better guide to medication use than psychiatric diagnosis based on the DSM-V.
The article "Medication Prediction with Electroencephalography Phenotypes and Biomarkers" in the current issue of the journal Biofeedback offers evidence that quantitative EEG assessment can refine the selection of medications by detecting brain patterns. Author Jay Gunkelman uses the example of a 7-year-old child diagnosed with ADHD.

Conversations About the Future of Systems Research07/11/2014
There is a long connection between Saybrook and systems conversations, which continues to this day. The semi-annual conversations have been hosted by the International Federation for Systems Research (IFSR), and were historically known as the Fuschl Conversations (due to their location at Fuschl am See in Austria). Bela Banathy, the founder of the systems program at Saybrook, initially led these conversations. He extended the conversations through the International Systems Institute, based in the US, hosting annual conversation events at Asilomar, in Pacific Grove, CA. Bela brought me into the IFSR where I have served as part of the Executive Committee since 2002, and President since 2010.
The seventeenth IFSR conversation was held this past April in Linz, Austria. It was the largest conversation that the IFSR has hosted to-date, with 42 participants working in six teams. The topics on which the teams chose to focus spanned a wide range of systems concerns, from the philosophy of systems to the principles of the conversation itself. One team considered the future of cybernetics, and another continued work on applications and models in systems engineering. A fifth team continued work on "curating the conditions for the emergence of thrivable systems." The sixth team addressed the issue of systems research—ranging from what systems research is to the method(s) that a legitimate systems research project should ideally follow.

God Bless America
Post your comments on
this article
This is unashamed misanthropy porn, a wish-fulfillment fantasy for the disillusioned, and I absolutely loved it. It has the guts to go the distance on it's dark promise, features so many sharp gags alongside the frequent monologues, and has found an absolute gem of a young star in Tara Lynne Barr, who steals the whole film from the excellent Murray. A brilliant, brilliant film.
Its well acted and directed and the story is interesting but it needs a better editor because the pacing is awful. Most of the scenes go on way longer than they need to
Thumbs up. Probably knocking on the door of my top ten for the year.
And how good is Tara Lynne Barr? Its the relationship between her and murray that really elevates the film.
Need to go back and check out Zed's...I mean Bobcats, other films.
God Bless America
The recently fired and terminally ill Frank is pissed off about almost everything in the current (American) society. When he gets the bad news that he is terminally ill and that is ex-wife (and mother of his insanely spoiled daughter) is getting re-married he completely had it with his life and wants to end it. But instead of doing so he decides to free society of everyone who is, according to him, responsible for letting society slip in a downward spiral...
If your read that synopsis it is indeed a good comparison to Natural Born Killers and Bonnie and Clyde. Maybe it`s best titled Natural Born Killers 2012.
A lot of things are mentioned wich almost anyone gets annoyed by some way or the other and has an opinion about. That makes it all very recognisable. Frank goes after those people who get our blood boiling. Thanks to this you can kinda get sympathy for Frank`s deeds, no matter how horrific they are.
The balance in the story between serious social critique and an over the top roadmovie is lost at times but nonetheless this is really a decent film, one that shows a lot of things that are wrong with our current society.
Thanks to a good Joel Murray as Frank, this is a film that, although with a wink and a nudge, makes you think about what it is that "we are all doing to ourselves."
God Bless America
God Bless America works better as a political/cultural satire than as a cinematic story, where Murray's preaching may go to the point of not only annoyance, but where one might question the writer's views in the first place. But along with Barr, the duo are fun to watch in this violent, thoughtful, and delightfully funny indie.
RE: God Bless America
God Bless America (2011)
Are you fed up with life? fed up with the people around you? fed up with the constant mindless dribble that is shown on TV 24/7? the celebrity/sport addicted media or the use of brain sapping technology like 'Twitter' and txt on smart phones etc...?. Then why not break free and go on a killing rampage to release the world of these modern day problems.
Directed by Bobcat Goldthwait (yes that lunatic from a few 'Police Academy' movies) and with an unknown cast (to me) that really do shine. The plot is cute but totally unoriginal now I'm afraid, a depressed, ill, suicidal office worker gets fired and mentally snaps. He begins a killing spree with people that really annoy him or don't really deserve what they have, in short he's sick of modern day America. Along the way he picks up and befriends a young school girl who loves what he is doing so joins in and helps him.
So yeah...its basically an update of 'Natural Born Killers' with a hint of 'Bonnie and Clyde' perhaps, no bank robbing though. Its a dark comedy positively brewing over with sadism which is accompanied by a cheerful soundtrack as the happy couple go on the lam executing people they believe to be unworthy. If you think along the lines of 'Office Space' and that angle of comedy but much much darker.
What is truly excellent about this film is the pinpoint accuracy of the story and the way it shows us how utterly god awful modern day TV is. The immense popularity of reality shows like 'Pop Idol' and 'Big Brother' where morons are displayed for public humiliation or so called talent. This is the main focus of the plot, the spark that lights the main characters fuse for action. Other issues such as celebrity obsession, sport obsession, rudeness, lack of respect, general modern day pop culture and the whole self centered approach to today's society is targeted.
It really is a joy to watch as 'Frank' and 'Roxy' gun down a group of youths in the local cinema for talking on their mobile phones and not shutting up throughout the film (oh how many times have you thought about that...don't lie). Extremist religious protesters on a march, a bloke who takes up two car parking spaces, an abrasive politician off TV and of course a spoilt brat from one of those glorious reality TV shows.
The real mission for the pair is the judges on the popular reality show 'Superstarz' (a wonderful mockery of...well I'm sure you know). This is where they are headed, to end the lives of the pretentious, insensitive, rude, obnoxious panel of judges that make money from the 'know nothing, no talent' cultural obsession of our modern age.
Like I say I hadn't heard of either main stars for this film but boy was I impressed!. Joel Murray as 'Frank' is just your every man, a bog standard blue collar office boy, but you really find yourself wanting him to win, get his point across. This character is the champion for all the regular law abiding joe's out there in reality, people who don't try to play the system, people who pay their bills and keep to speed limits.
On the other hand the character of 'Roxy' played by Tara Lynne Barr I think is just there so boys can see a female teen kick ass. Yeah I could be wrong but seeing her gunning down perps (well kinda perps) as she leans out of their yellow Camaro with a grin on her face is...well its kinda hot. I actually think Barr slightly over acts to be honest, she's very good but a bit too over excited to be in the film methinks.
Cutting right down to the bone this film is an unapologetic, blistering, scathing backlash at our society today, or should that be American society today. Its dark as hell as Goldthwait doesn't hide from the brutal truth, statements that will slap you across the face and make you pay attention.
Its not perfect, not suppose to be a serious thriller or anything of course but I was thinking that surely by the midway point there would be masses of police after them. And surely the Camaro they stole would give them away somewhat, it is big, loud, fast and banana yellow. It does make the act of multiple murders look easy as they never seem to have any trouble from any law officials anywhere!.
A fantastic film which I hadn't even heard of until I stumbled across the poster online. The beginning is by far the best and most amusing, the plot gets a touch off base as the couple start knocking people off and the film becomes more 'routine'. But the trigger happy violence against folk you love to hate turns this into some kind of feel good road movie...worryingly.
I mean seriously, you haven't ever thought about waking on stage and blowing away certain well known reality TV judges?. Then perhaps turning to the camera and telling everybody at home what a mindless moron they are...yeah if you watch these reality shows you'd best not watch this film, it might sting.

VoIP Talk, Flash Discussion and more... From the Forums 31
Here's some of what's being discussed in the forums.
- Last week Verizon made it official: VoIP a-okay on its network. Users are speculating: just how long will it take for something like Skype to hit webOS?
- The Pre has a pretty decent camera, and while this thread might be an oldie, it's a goodie: PreCentral forum members are sharing some of the best pictures they've taken with their phones. Go ahead, share yours!
- Even with extended batteries that have been modified to work with the Touchstone charger, there comes a time where we need to charge our phones but don't have access to an outlet. Thankfully, a number of forum members are chiming in with their recommendations on self-powered USB chargers.
- With all of the fervor over the upcoming webOS 1.4 update and the availability of Flash that will follow, user flea asks an interesting question: will you install the plug-in when it hits the Catalog?
- iTunes sync has been out of the webOS picture for a little while now, but some users are still left high and dry when it comes to a syncing solution. So big props to forum member cwgtex for creating the "ultimate how-to" guide to get you up and syncing with MediaMonkey, a free iTunes alternative.
We look forward to seeing you in the forums. Not a member? There's no better time than the present to become one. Registration is free, and the benefits are immense.

Interesting article, Can't wait till Flash get here, alongside video recording!!!
Does Sprint have VoIP??
Is that a Pre Plus in the picture?
I don't mind though.. The more Palm love the better =)
Yeah... they'll come back to Sprint when it gets a better Palm phone I guess.
Anyway, that one sided poll, rofl.
I would say no, its just too dark to see the button. Take a close look and it says Sprint for the carrier.
always nice to get a summary of all the action on the forums...thanks!
How you took that picture was very clever.
Verizon is making palm look good.
ok, all this talk about webos 1.4 and yet... No one has ANY idea when it will come! I am getting tired of waiting and I may sell my palm. So I am wondering when will it come out?
Seriously? You might sell your phone? Palm said 1.4 in Feb 2010. There's a week left. We DO have an idea when it will come. In the next week. Calm down, it's just a phone.
So you want to sell your phone with no video capture, no flash, and no voice recording?
I'll give you $20 for it.
Is 1.4 out yet?
I had to ask
I hope Palm isn't pulling a RIM with these updates. Come on 1.4!!!!!!
...I haven't updated my iTunes since the back n forth battle of Palm and Apple over media syncing ended, soooo I'm still able to sync my Pre to iTunes =)
Wow, just hopped on to see what was up with media syncing...
...I haven't updated my iTunes since the back n forth battle of Palm and Apple over media syncing ended, soooo I'm still able to sync my Pre to iTunes =)
correct me if im wrong, but i believe the current SDK still doesnt allow for microphone access. skype, or even it's development, obviously isnt going to happen until palm updates the sdk. and even after that, skype isnt exactly fast with their turnaround times. i fully expect there will be an android client before a webos one and even that one isnt out yet (has it even been announced?).
Whew hew! I made the front page :D
Seriously though, I give most of the credit to the MediaMonkey wiki. I just wanted to raise awareness of their syncing solution over here on this website. I used their screenshots, and just added my own notes.
The internet knows everything, you just have to look for it sometimes.
I appreciate the "From The Forums" feature, but it's frustrating to read and follow the links from my phone. Would it be possible to post the mobile formatted links alongside the regular links, for those of us who read primarily from our Palms?
i hate itunes anyway...i've been using mediamonkey for a while and i really like it. thanks for bringing it to everyone's attention!
Very good front-page article summarizing the forums hot items!
thx guys
OK now, slowly and gently pull your fingers off the shift key and place them on the steering wheel where I can see them. Now let me see your ID.
Ok, it says here your real name is "HondaCop".
That explains everything. Let me go check on that restraining order Precentral put out on you.
1.4 1.4 1.4
then maybe... D2G & a blue tooth enabled full keyboard.
I'll be set. I promise I'll never ask for another Pony again!
Verizon's TV and Print Ads are the best ever. There are posters plastered all over here in NYC and many more Cities across the US.
Now all we need is to get them to stop having their sales reps discourage people from purchasing the Pre over the Droid and we'll be good to go.
...finally, the last full week of February =) You all know what that means right? Yes, we'll all get what we've been waiting for (unless Palm releases it on the last day), but I'm thinking Tuesday or Thursday. Now if you want to sell your Pres out of frustration, I'm sure there are plenty on here who would gladly take it off your hands ;) Come March 1st however...you'll regret being impatient while the rest of us are messing w/ our video camera and flash player =)
Oh my dearest 1.4, why are you playing hard to get,&keeping me waiting for that promise 1.4 Update of urs. I want you 1.4, with ur upcoming beautiful features: Video Recording, I need that, got Bermuda vacation coming soon, need to video record the nice scenery out there. Oh&Flash 10.1, so I can watch flash content online like,HULU&everything I can't see right now,because I don't have it enable yet. Nice flash games will be nice too. So 1.4, now you see how inportant you are to me now. I waits you!

Understanding Peristalsis
Peristalsis is the autonomic (involuntary) response of the body to substances ingested. It occurs in the digestive tract as a means to push material forward in the small intestine. Once it passes into the large intestine, a series of muscle contractions occur to insure that the material continues forward along the tract.
Sluggish production of bile can decrease peristalsis.
Chronic colon diseases, stimulant laxatives can decrease the natural peristaltic bowel action to the point where it becomes necessary to have some stimulant in order to get the body to eliminate waste. Cinnamon is a stimulant for peristalsis and bile production, to requirements for digestion. Remember that there are natural alternatives to chemical stimulants to encourage proper, natural eliminations.

New Press Releases
(Grants Pass, Oregon)--Fire Mountain Gems and Beads®, America's Favorite Beading and Jewelry Supply Company®, is expanding their promotional-quality gemstone bead line to include gemstone pebbles sized small and medium--now available in bulk 10-strand packages for super savings.
Bulk packages of promo-quality gemstone pebbles are a great value for manufacturers and resellers. Traditionally, promo-quality beads have been used by jewelry manufacturers, particularly those needing reduced price points. Now, we are finding that they are requested by bead store owners and other retail bead outlets. These stores have discovered that many of their customers take advantage of commercial grade gemstones due to the significant price savings.
Promotional quality, also known as ''commercial'' or ''C'' grade beads have occasional flat spots and mild irregularities in the drilling. You will find that 90-95% of the pebble beads on each 16-inch strand will work in any application. Gemstone pebbles are machine-cut and tumbled, creating a smooth finish.
