M.Sc. Electro-mechanical engineering (energetics)
- On Campus
- 24 months
- EUR2400 Year (Non-EEA)
- English, French ( Take IELTS test or Find a course )
The multipurpose engineer : the training offered in electro-mechanics civil engineering has a transversal and versatile character. It is based on multidisciplinarity and is designed to meet the needs of manufacturers.
NEW : a training in Sustainable Automotive Engineering
Today, more than ever, automotive engineering is one of the most technologically interesting domains to face the sustainability challenges of automotive engineering of the 21st century. Experts in automotive engineering are poised to develop innovations that will change society and address a wide variety of global problem, develop innovative solutions to shape new vehicles and transportation systemswith smaller environmental impact. This is a new professionnal focus available during this Master (60 credits).
The development of energetics was strongly galvanised by the petrol crises of the 1970s. The latter revealed to Europeans the extent to which their standard of living was dependent on the price and availability of energy. Today the major challenge is to limit greenhouse gas emissions and more particularly those of CO2, produced during the burning of fossil fuels such as natural gas, coal and petrol. An energeticist is the engineer who puts into practice the clean and efficient combustion of hydrocarbons.
During his or her education programme, he or she will also study the various types of renewable energies and nuclear power stations.One of the major challenges of the contemporary world is the emergence of new countries who are high consumers as they are developing rapidly (China, India, Brazil, etc.). We thus have to demonstrate imagination in order to manage limited resources as well as possible, whilst overcoming the more and more considerable problems posed by local, regional and global pollution and the planet´s ecological balance.To confront these challenges and the technical, economic and environmental problems which follow from them a new type of engineer is necessary.
Their training must be very multipurpose and rest on the major axes of electro-mechanics. With strong bases in the fields of energy resources and renewable energies, heat engines, and electrical and hydraulic machines, the energeticist fulfils these criteria. He or she also receives reinforced education in electrical, thermal and fluidics measurement, electrical energy networks, transfer processes and the analysis of thermal, chemical and electrical systems. The energeticist is also trained in the optimal simulation, exploitation and management of the major energetics systems, such as electricity power stations (hydraulic, nuclear and fossil fuel), electricity transport and distribution systems, or heating, refrigeration and air conditioning systems.
Over the course of your education you carry out projects in different forms: group work, integrated projects, external training programmes, etc. The level of standard demanded rises progressively and leads you to be autonomous. Beyond the work demanded within the curriculum a great many other possibilities offer themselves in order for you to put into practice your acquired technical and scientific knowledge :
Some examples...
The Eurobot competition, N Hitec, the Oufti-1 satellite, the Shell Eco-Marathon
The department of electro-mechanics demands a training programme in a regional or European business company. You are thus taken under the wing by academic and industrial `sponsors' and experience total immersion in a defined industrial environment. The tasks awaiting you are very variable but always of the order of those which would be confined to an engineering graduate at the very beginning of a career.
Our students also benefit from a state of the art infrastructure which is unique in the French Speaking Community of Belgium: a wind tunnel, a space centre, a fire resistance testing laboratory, a hydraulic construction laboratory...
For EU students, 835€ is the maximum fee, you might pay less depending on your financial situation. For Non-EU students, 2,400€ is the average fee, which goes from 835€ up to 4000€; your tuition fee will depend on your nationality; please visit our website for more information
The requirements to access to the master programmes are regulated by articles 51 to 53 of the decree of 31 March 2004 defining higher education, promoting its integration into the European Higher Education Area, and refinancing universities.
The master programmes are open to students who hold one of the following:
The additional requirements are designed to ensure students have sufficient knowledge of the subjects required for the intended studies.When these additional requirements consist in one or several additional courses, they cannot add more than 15 credits in total to the student's course load, considering all other credits counting towards their admission.These courses are included into the curriculum of their master programme.
Master programmes are also open to students who, in order to earn the bachelor in the same curriculum, must still pass no more than 12 credits and are registered for those courses.
Master programmes, possibly subject to additional courses worth no more than 60 credits (when this added course load is over 15 credits, it must be taken as a preparatory year), are open to students who hold one of the following:
knowledge and skills, acquired through personal or professional experience, that can be recognised by the admissions jury. This relevant experience must be equivalent to at least five years of professional activity, not taking into account failed years of higher education. At the conclusion of an evaluation process organised by the academic authorities, the admissions jury judges whether the student's skills and knowledge allow them to successfully pursue the programme.
No work experience is required.
Fortunately enough I was able to find StudyPortals. Right from the start of the application to getting the confirmation of admission I was using StudyPortals.

The University was founded in 1817 by William I of the Netherlands, then King of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, and by his Minister of Education, Anton Reinhard Falck. The foundation of the university was the result of a long intellectual tradition which dates back to the origins of the Bishopric of Ličge. Beginning in the 11th century, the influence of the prince-bishops of Ličge attracted students and prominent scientists and philosophers, such as Petrarch, to study in its libraries. The reputation of its medieval schools gave the city the reputation as a new Athens. The University is now definitely open to the world and hosts 20,000 students, 4,000 of them being international students!

No festive goodwill found in this House
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- December 01, 2012
WHEN parliament adjourned on Thursday night and MPs left Canberra for the long Christmas break, any sane person would have been thinking: "Good riddance!"
It had been a toxic day to end a toxic parliamentary year. Even when Julia Gillard attempted to pay tribute to Ricky Ponting after his retirement announcement there was uproar.
"Good example. Why don't you follow it?" yelled an Opposition member.
Others on the Coalition benches joined in the shouting.
"Order!" cried speaker Anna Burke. "I think the nation would be rather disappointed that, when we are talking about one of our cricket greats, you cannot even allow it to be heard. That is just ridiculous."Ridiculous, yes. Childish, ugly and stupid as well.
But Labor has also done its share to bring the parliament into disrepute. On Wednesday, a frustrated Burke admonished both sides. "It is absolutely disgraceful that you treat your parliament with such contempt," she told them.
Which raises the obvious question: If members themselves treat the institution with contempt, why should the rest of us show it any respect?
Normally at the end of the parliamentary year, leaders put hostilities aside briefly, say something friendly and Christmassy, and shake hands.
This time - despite having been called a criminal by Tony Abbott that very day - the Prime Minister made an attempt to keep up the tradition. "To the Leader of the Opposition and the Opposition generally, I hope that they enjoy some rest and respite over Christmas with their families," she said.
Abbott could not summon up the grace to reciprocate. And there was no handshake. Gillard had left the chamber.
There have been situations before where prime ministers and Opposition leaders have disliked each other intensely.
Paul Keating promised to ensure that John Howard would wear the leadership like a crown of thorns. That was because a Liberal backbencher falsely suggested in an interjection that he'd fathered an illegitimate child.
Bob Hawke was enraged when Andrew Peacock, under parliamentary privilege, called him "a little crook".
Gillard and Abbott have been ripping away at each other nonstop and they've both ended up bloodied. For most
of the year, each gave as good as they got.
But Gillard blindsided Abbott - and stunned him - with her sexism and misogyny speech. He is still unsettled by it.
Why else, when he was attacking the PM over the AWU slush fund affair in the House on Thursday, did he say: "This is not about gender, this is about character."
To that point, gender had not been mentioned in the debate. The impact of Gillard's speech has clearly messed with his mind. Perhaps Abbott's claim on television that morning that the PM had committed a crime was an attempt to reassert his supremacy as an attack-dog.
But he overreached. You can't accuse a prime minister of criminal activity and then fail to substantiate the allegation without yourself being diminished in the process.
And all that careful work the Opposition Leader had done to soften his image by letting deputy Julie Bishop and others take over the head-kicking went for nought.
But, by hammering the AWU slush fund issue all week, Abbott and the Coalition succeeded in messing up what Gillard had planned as a triumphal end to 2012.
The government's intention was to use the final week as a kind of showcase, with important measures such as the Murray Darling plan and school funding and national disabilities legislation on display in the parliament.
Ministers were to contrast these with the Opposition's claimed lack of policies.
However, the scenario was derailed by what Gillard bitterly describes as "sleaze and smear".
That is, the saga of her role as legal adviser 20 years ago when her then boyfriend and another union official set up an association from which they later misappropriated money.
No impropriety has been pinned on the PM, but the issue won't go away.
It overshadows initiatives and achievements in areas of genuine concern to voters.
And it infuriates her, and messes with her mind.
Which may or may not be why she so badly misread the mood of her cabinet and party room on the issue of United Nations observer status for the Palestinians.
In a return to the political bumblefootedness of her early period as PM, Gillard endangered her own leadership by trying to insist that Australia join the US and Israel in opposing the resolution.
In the end, she accepted Foreign Minister Bob Carr's proposal that abstention was the best course.
But by then she had created a situation that could easily have been portrayed as a government deeply divided and in disarray - if the Opposition had had its wits about it.
Abbott and his lieutenants, however, were too focused on the slush fund to exploit anything else effectively.
Which means, funnily enough, that not everything about the AWU issue turned out to be a negative for Gillard.

ABSTRACT: This article explores the hypothesis that self-injurious behavior (SIB) of the type associated with borderline personality disorder (BPD) has an important mood regulatory function. Thirty-eight female inpatients with an Axis II diagnosis of BPD and a history of SIB rated a variety of mood and affective states, using visual analog scales recalled over the course of usual SIB experiences. Subjects were additionally divided into two groups according to whether they typically experience pain during SIB (BPD-P group) or did not (BPD-NP group). For both groups, the visual analog scale ratings revealed significant mood elevation and decreased dissociation following self injury, with a peak in dissociative symptoms during self injury. The ratings of dissociative symptoms were found to be higher in the BPD-NP group when compared to the BPD-P group across all stages of SIB. The ratings of sexual arousal did not change over the course of SIB for either group. These findings are discussed in light of current knowledge of the relationship between SIB and mood.

ABSTRACT: The pathology of parents is thought to be associated with the emergence of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) among offspring by both genetic and environmental pathways (Links and Blum 1990). In an effort toward clearer delineation, not only reliable diagnoses of patients, but also direct study of families, are recommended (Gunderson 1990; Gunderson and Zanarini 1989; Links and Blum 1990; Ogata et al. 1990; Zanarini et al. 1990). With this in mind, we conducted a pilot, retrospective study of parental psychiatric status, developmental events, and family climate during the developmental years of 30 young women hospitalized for BPD, to be reported here. In studying these three dimensions of family life, we hoped to shed light on environmental underpinings (Gunderson 1990; Gunderson and Zanarini 1989; Links 1992; Rutter and Quinton 1984). Even though our cohort is small and select, and the data on a comparison group not yet available, our research approach holds promise of yielding fresh insights.
Article: Construct validity of the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire: Flexible and Rigid Control Subscales[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study investigated the construct validity of two dietary restraint subscales, flexible control (FC) and rigid control (RC), identified by Westenhoefer (1991; Appetite, 16, 45–55) as a subset of the restraint scale items from the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ, Stunkard & Messick. [1985]. Journal of Psychosomatic Research, 29, 71–83). The subjects were 31 women on long-term personality disorder units. Based on the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R (SCID), 68% has past anorexia and/or bulimia diagnoses and 94% were borderline. The subjects completed the TFEQ and supplied weight and height data for body mass index (BMI) calculations. The results supported the validity of the two restraint constructs by showing that FC was inversely related to BMI and predicted an anorexia diagnosis. In contrast, RC directly predicted BMI when tested concurrently with FC. RC was also more associated with a history of bulimia and problems with weight fluctuations than FC was. Thus, the FC-RC distinction was valid and useful in this population of women. © 1994 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Article: Dialectical behavior therapy for borderline personality disorder: Theoretical and empirical foundations[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy developed by Linehan for parasuicidal patients with a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD). DBT is based on a biosocial theory that views BPD as primarily a dysfunction of the emotion regulation system. The treatment is organized around a hierarchy of behavioral goals that vary in different modes of therapy. In two randomized trials, DBT has shown superiority in reducing parasuicide, medical risk of parasuicides, number of hospital days, dropout from treatment and anger while improving social adjustment. Most gains were maintained through a 1-year follow-up. In one process study testing DBT theory, dialectical techniques balancing acceptance and change were more effective than pure change or acceptance techniques in reducing suicidal behavior.

ABSTRACT: Twenty-seven female inpatients with borderline personality disorder were assigned to two groups on the basis of whether they did (N = 14) or did not (N = 13) report experiencing pain during self-injurious episodes. Ratings of depression, anxiety, impulsiveness, dissociation, and trauma symptoms were higher in the women who did not experience pain while injuring themselves, as were the number of suicide attempts and the prevalence of childhood sexual abuse.
Article: Patient-therapist ratings and relationship to progress in dialectical behavior therapy for borderline personality disorder[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study investigated the influence of the patient-therapist relationship in reducing suicidal behavior in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). DBT is a behavioral treatment for borderline women developed by Linehan who demonstrated its effectiveness in two earlier 1-year outcome studies. Subjects were 4 therapist-patient dyads. Patients were parasuicidal women who met criteria for borderline personality disorder; therapists were psychology and nursing graduate students. Weekly patient and therapist relationship ratings were measured over 7 months of initial treatment with a short form of Benjamin's Structural Analysis of Social Behavior (SASB). Four hypotheses encompassing dialectical theory, nonpejorative conceptualization, modeling, and contingency timing predictions were tested for each patient with time series analyses. Combined results of the four patients supported all hypotheses. Dialectical techniques balancing acceptance and change were more effective than pure change or acceptance techniques in reducing suicidal behavior. Therapist ratings consistent with nonpejorative conceptualization were also associated with less suicidal behavior.

ABSTRACT: A field experiment conducted in high schools throughout the country was aimed at increasing the number of high school students who donate blood. Special interventions that emphasized psychological or educational approaches to heightening motivation to donate, as well as a combined intervention, were compared with the usual approach taken at blood drives. Psychological interventions in which social learning principles (modeling, perceptions of social norms) played important roles either alone or in combination with an educational (informational) approach were more successful in stimulating blood donations than either an educational approach alone or the approaches traditionally followed by the participating local blood centers. The results demonstrated that use of social learning principles in designing interventions to strengthen socially relevant altruistic behavior could be valuable both practically and theoretically.

ABSTRACT: Investigated linkages between perceived social support and (1) perceptions of self and others and (2) others' perceptions of the self. In Study 1, undergraduates (56 men and 74 women) completed questionnaires assessing perceptions of themselves and typical others. Perceptions of support were positively related to perceptions of others. In Study 2, undergraduates (76 men and 134 women) completed questionnaires assessing self-perceptions and parents' and friends' perceptions of them. A subset of parents and friends completed questionnaires assessing their perceptions of the S. Perceptions of social support were positively related to self-perceptions and beliefs about others' views, and also to parents' and friends' actual views. Theoretical implications are discussed in terms of the role of personality and personal relationships in perceived social support. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)

ABSTRACT: Two studies leading to the development of a short form of the Social Support Questionnaire (SSQ) are reported. In Study 1 three items selected for high correlations with the total score (SSQ3) were administered to 182 university students together with several personality measures. SSQ3 had acceptable test-retest reliability and correlations with personality variables similar to those of the SSQ. Internal reliability was marginal although acceptable for an instrument with so few items. Study 2 employed three sets of data in developing a six-item instrument (SSQ6). The SSQ6 had high internal reliability and correlated highly with the SSQ and similarly to it with personality variables. The research findings accompanying the development of the short form social support measure suggest that perceived social support in adults may be a reflection of early attachment experience.

ABSTRACT: To obtain a clearer picture of what constitutes social support, we conducted three studies to compare measures of different conceptions of social support. Relations of these instruments to various personality measures were also investigated. Subdividing the construct into discrete functions did not add to the sensitivity of the indices. Measures of received support and support networks were not strongly related to most of the perceived available support measures. Interview and questionnaire approaches were similar in the information they evoked about close supportive relationships. The results suggest that measures of perceived available support, regardless of the way the instruments attempt to break down the construct, generally assess the extent to which an individual is accepted, loved, and involved in relationships in which communication is open. Psychometric characteristics of the measures were associated with differential sensitivity over the range of supportive relationships. The theoretical implications of the findings are discussed with emphasis on the common core underlying social support indices. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
Article: Interpersonal problem solving[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study examined the relationship between interpersonal problem solving and suicidal behavior among psychiatric patients. Subjects were 123 psychiatric inpatients, admitted for current parasuicide, serious suicide ideation, or non-suicide-related complaints. A group of 16 orthopedic surgery patients was included to control for hospitalization trauma and current stress. All subjects completed a revised version of the Means-End Problem Solving Procedure, the Rathus Assertiveness Schedule, and a suicide expectancy measure. Psychiatric patients scored lower than the medical control group on the assertive schedule, but no differences were noted as a function of suicidal behavior status. Psychiatric patients expected suicide to solve problems more than did controls. Suicidal patients had higher expectancies than did nonsuicidal patients. Active interpersonal problem solving did not distinguish suicidal and nonsuicidal psychiatric patients but did separate parasuicides from suicide ideators. Among patients without a parasuicide history, less active and greater passive problem solving discriminated first-time parasuicides from suicide ideators and nonsuicidals. Results suggest that assertion deficits may characterize the psychiatric population in general, but suicidal behavior within psychiatric patients may be related to lower active problem solving.

ABSTRACT: Presents results of 6 studies of cognitive interference and describes 2 instruments constructed to assess intrusive thoughts, the Cognitive Interference Questionnaire (CIQ) and the Thought Occurrence Questionnaire (TOQ). The CIQ obtains self-reports of cognitive interference immediately after performance on a task, and the TOQ assesses the general tendency to experience intrusive thoughts. In the 6 studies, which involved 2,157 undergraduates, situationally produced cognitive interference was assessed immediately after an S's performance on a task; cognitive interference was also investigated as a stable personality characteristic. The relation of cognitive interference as a personality variable and the tendency of individuals to describe themselves as having attentional problems was examined as well. Results suggest the value of assessing cognitive activity as a situationally influenced product and as a personality variable.

Article: Social Support as an Individual Difference Variable. Its Stability, Origins, and Relational Aspects[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Investigated the stability of social support indices, the relation between these indices and measures of parental bonding, and the relation between the indices and ratings of social behavior. In Exp I, 76 undergraduates responded to a social support questionnaire (SSQ) several times at 5- and 36-mo follow-ups. Exp II partially replicated Exp I with 251 Ss, and it investigated the relation between the SSQ and a parental bonding instrument. In Exp III, 160 Ss rated videotapes of persons with different levels of social support and scored them with regard to indices of personal effectiveness. The studies demonstrate that social support levels are stable over periods up to 3 yrs. They also showed that Ss high in social support reported having received more parental care (affection, interest, empathy) than did those low in social support. High social support Ss were judged by observers to be more competent leaders and problem solvers than were low-support Ss. Female Ss were judged to be more considerate and friendly than male Ss. Results suggest the value of conceptualizing social support as an individual difference variable as well as an environmental provision.

Article: Perceptions of borderline personality disorder patients and relationship to treatment progress[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Thesis (Ph. D.)--University of Washington, 1990 Empirical studies of the treatment of borderline personality disorder patients have been few in number and only two have employed random assignment to groups. Thus there is little evidence to guide clinicians who attempt treatment of individuals with this serious disorder. The current study investigated the influence of the therapist-patient relationship upon the effectiveness of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a behavioral treatment developed by Linehan. The DBT treatment had shown effectiveness for reducing suicidal behavior in two earlier 1-year outcome studies. Subjects in the current study were four therapist-patient dyads. The patients were suicidal women who met criteria for borderline personality disorder and who were just beginning treatment with DBT. Hypothesis 1 predicted that when patients perceived therapists to be both controlling and nurturing, suicidal behavior would decrease in the following week. Hypothesis 2 predicted that when patients perceived therapists to be nurturing and protecting, patient behaviors would be higher on self-nurturing and self-protection. Hypothesis 3 predicted that patients would rate therapists as higher on warmth and friendliness in the week following less suicidal behavior. Hypothesis 4 predicted that when patients perceived therapists to be less helpful and more hostile, therapists would perceive patients as more passive and having less self-control. Hypothesis 5 predicted that therapist ratings of patients' warm feelings toward the therapists would be followed by decreases in suicidal behavior. Weekly therapist and patient perceptions of each other were measured with a short form of Benjamin's Structural Assessment of Social Behavior (SASB). Suicidal behavior was measured with weekly patient self-report. On a case by case basis, therapist-patient perceptions for 31 weeks were related longitudinally with time series analyses to predicted outcomes. All five hypotheses received support. Dialectical combinations of ratings (e.g., for hypothesis 1, nurturing, controlling, and simultaneous autonomy giving) were better predictors of suicidal behavior than less complex ratings. The specifics of the findings as well as an exception on hypothesis 5 for one dyad were discussed along with implications and limitations.

Inhalable insulin
Inhalable insulin is a powdered form of insulin, delivered with a nebulizer into the lungs where it is absorbed. A 2007 systematic review concluded that the inhaled hexameric insulin Exubera "appears to be as effective, but no better than injected short-acting insulin. The additional cost is so much more that it is unlikely to be cost-effective."[1]
Exubera, developed by Inhale Therapeutics (later named Nektar Therapeutics), became the first inhaled insulin product to be marketed in 2006 by Pfizer,[2] but poor sales led Pfizer to withdraw it in 2007.[3] Afrezza, a monomeric inhaled insulin developed by Mannkind, was approved by the FDA in 2014.[4]
Insulin was introduced by Banting and Best from the University of Toronto in 1921 as an injectable agent. German researchers first introduced the idea of inhalable insulin in 1924.[5] Years of failure followed until scientists realized they might be able to use new technologies to turn insulin into a concentrated powder with particles sized for inhalation.
In the 1980s Nektar Therapeutics developed technology to make insulin into small particles that they licensed to Pfizer; Alkermes developed a delivery device that they licensed to Eli Lilly and Company.[5]
Once concrete methods were developed, human tests began in the late 1990s.[5] In January 2006, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of Exubera, a form of inhalable insulin developed by Pfizer;[2] it was approved in the UK in August 2006 but reimbursed by the National Health Service only for people who had problems with needles.[6] However, in 2007, Pfizer announced that it would no longer manufacture or market Exubera. According to Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Kindler this was because Exubera "failed to gain acceptance among patients and physicians."[3]
At the time of Exubera's discontinuation, several other companies were pursuing inhaled insulin including Alkermes working with Eli Lilly and Company,[7] MannKind Corporation,[8][9] and Aradigm working with Novo Nordisk. By March 2008, all of these products had been discontinued except for MannKind's Afrezza product.[10]
On March 16, 2009 MannKind submitted an NDA for their inhalable insulin. In 2011 the FDA denied approval of Afrezza and requested additional clinical trials to its product, the design of which had changed, to ensure that people would use it the same way as the earlier versions.[11] After conducting further studies, Mannkind submitted a new application, and in June, 2014, the FDA approved Affreza for both Type I and Type II adult diabetics, with a label restriction for patients having asthma, active lung cancer or COPD.[4][12]

Wine Spectator(From 2001 Vintage) Rating: 93/100 - As reviewed by Wine Spectator
Wine & Spirits(From 2007 Vintage) Good full, bright ruby. Precise aromas of blackberry, minerals, menthol, cedar and slate. Supple and suave, with a slightly high-toned quality to the dark berry and bitter chocolate flavors. A real crushed-berry bomb, with good acid cut and supple broad tannins. Steve Pride noted that this wine was more aggressive in the mid-rsquo;90s; the winery introduced a gentler destemmer with vintage 2008 and is now pressing the fruit more gently. Therersquo;s now less in the way of oak tannins in the finished wines, he added.
Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wines(From 2002 Vintage) Rating: 94/100 - As reviewed by Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wines on Dec-06 Intensely aromatic and redolent of raspberries, cassis, cocoa and touches of loam, this very rich and powerful young wine follows through with wonderfully concentrated flavors that are every bit as big and fully filled as expected.

A friend once said "big butts win championships." Everyone in the room nodded in agreement but, let me clarify one very important point: When you go to the data, or Ray-Ray on the street, you'll quickly learn not all big butts yield the same result. Review the most popular search terms used with "butt" on adult sites, and you'll see words such as "bubble" and "onion" dominate the top spots. The key is not absolute size nor is it firmness. My friend would be more accurate if he said, "Round butts win championships!"

IN a message of April 7, 1869, President Grant recommended that provision be made for a vote in Virginia on the State constitution agreed upon by a convention April 17, 1868, and for the election of State officers, the State to be restored on the approval of the constitution by Congress.

Placer County library balances overdue book fines, reader encouragement
By: Gus Thomson, Journal Staff Writer
AUBURN CA - Make no mistake about it. If you run up a big bill in overdue and unreturned books, Placer County will go after you. When the amount reaches more than $50 and remains unpaid after 90 days, the library turns the collection duties over to the county's Administrative Services Department. But the county's head librarian said that the collection of money owed the library – amounting to $146,500 last year – isn't being done with any sense of zealousness. Administrative Services is currently collecting on $195,000 in outstanding fines and costs. The county library system, with a service area covering about 190,000 people, wants to keep encouraging readers to check out books and patrons to use other materials ranging from DVDs to e-books. Fines are 25 cents a day for each overdue item. "I would love to have no fines and fees," Library Services Director Mary George said. "There are some libraries that have a grace period (after a book becomes overdue). But we do want our materials back." While fines for a book or any other overdue library item checked out, max out at $5, the library has a stepped program that is designed to ensure that if something isn't returned, the publicly funded system is compensated. Both the cost of a replacement book and staff time to process the new purchase are charged, with any accrued fines removed from the bill a patron has generated. At the $10 level, aggregate fines, costs and fees trigger a halt to privileges at the library, including checking out materials and using computers. If all of the $10 or more is paid or it is brought below $10 again, privileges are returned. Time combined with money moves the overdue bill along to the county's collection arm. After three weeks, books become overdue. If the bill reaches $50 or more, and 90 days pass, the library turns over its efforts to have books returned or fines paid. Eric Brooks, library IT employee, said that the collections with the county Administrative Services Department, which started about a year ago, help prevent abuse of the system. George said there have been reports of people stealing items from libraries and then selling them on the Internet. "And if they've racked up some serious fines, we want them to get out from under them so they can use the library again," George said. "The caveat is that we really want our materials back," Brooks said. Patrons may panic when they see a bill six weeks after an item becomes overdue, particularly if it's for 10 books out at $25 apiece, plus a processing fee, he said. "It's scary but if the books are returned, they will only owe fines and the fines max out at $5," Brooks said. Recently introduced, an e-mail notification system is designed to reduce the number of overdue materials, fines and heartburn. Currently, the library system provides notices by phone after materials are overdue two days or by letter, if the person doesn't have a working phone. Under the just-introduced e-mail notification, people are reminded two days before their materials are due and regularly after that before fines mount up. Movies and children's books top the list of overdue items in a system that has 401,000 different library items valued for replacement at about $8 million. With $195,000 in outstanding fines to be collected, George said it's a relatively small 2 percent of the collection. "There's no shame in accumulating a fine," George said. "It happens to all of us."

We have both the Fraxel Repair and the Fraxel Restore and use them both on olive skin to address sun damage and acne scars. You will have a higher risk of temporary discoloration than someone with fair skin, but the risk is slow if you go to an experienced dermatologist. Take care, Dr. Groff
Will Fraxel Laser Treatments Work on my Olive Complexion?
Doctor Answers 7
Both Fraxel Restore and Repair can be safely performed on Olive Complexion
Both the Fraxel Repair and Fraxel Restore can be safely and effectively used on Olive skin complexion. I have treated many patients with Olive skin complexion with great results. The key is to be aware of the increased risks of temporary hyperpigmentation and to do everything you can to minimize that risk-- including sun avoidance (using sunscreen, hats while outdoors), using a pre and post treatment regimen with bleaching agents, and seeing an experienced dermatologist who knows the right setting to use in your type of skin.
Dr. Mann
Fraxel is safe for olive skin tones but the right doctor is needed
Fraxel is safe for Fitzpatrick III (darker white skin) and IV (brown skin) patients. Fraxel Re:Pair [CO2] can cause hyperpigmentation if you are not careful healing. For someone with olive skin, I would recommend avoiding direct sunlight for the first 2 weeks after your treatment. Afterwards, you should use sun block and a good hat. You are better off going with a doctor who has enormous expertise on the subject, however, as this procedure can require a lot of skill to perform on someone with olive skin. With higher melanin, you are more susceptible to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Be careful and you should be alright.

Fraxel works on Olive Complexions
Both Fraxel Restore and Fraxel Repair can be safely used on Asian, Mediterranean, Latino, Persian, and other Olive Skin Tones. The key is appropriate pre and post op clear instructions including a high spf sunscreen and bleaching cream for 2 weeks before your procedure to block the pigment cells from creating extra pigment called post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Also, discuss with your physician how soon you can resume the bleaching creams after your treament. Some of the most recent studies have shown that topical application of 6-8%hydroquinone, the active bleaching ingredient, immediately after Restore can improve resistant melasma and we have seen this in our Asian patients.
Fraxel can treat olive skin types.
The darker your skin the more likely there will be some temporary pigment darkening. It is called post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and can last many months. My patients with olive skin are aware of the potential and are treated before and after their Fraxel with lightening agents, retinols and sunscreens to reduce the risk.
Safe in the right hands
If you have an olive complexion, you need to be extremely careful who does your laser resurfacing (Fraxel) treatments. It can be used on someone with darker skin, however you must be cautious, because patients with darker skin are more likely to end up with hyperpigmentation (temporary darker discoloration) if a Fraxel treatment is too aggressive. Make sure to ask your dermatologist about your concerns.
Fraxel re:store is safe to use on all skin colors and skin types
This laser is used to treat textural irregularities, like fine lines and acne scars, and sun damage and age spots. It is also used for melasma, but this is a more difficult problem to treat. It has been shown to be safe to use in all skin types and skin colors. There have been no long term or permanent color changes reported with this laser, but there may be temporary darkening in the treated area during the healing process. The darker the skin is the more likely this is to occur.
