"Kuwait....Hot and dry" Top 5 Page for this destination Kuwait by Ewingjr98
Kuwait Travel Guide: 522 reviews and 1,372 photos
I spent about four and a half months in Kuwait in the summer of 2005. The high temperatures were in the 110s to 120s almost every day, and the lows at two o'clock in the morning were often around 80 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. I spent most of my time at work, but did get to make a few trips in to the city, mostly to the airport, but once to a Diwaniya with some upper crust Kuwaitis. I also made a trip to the Persian Gulf coast to visit my cousin who works for an oil company. One last journey also took me up to the Iraqi border where dozens of trucks were lined up hauling supplies and construction materials north to assist with the rebuilding efforts.
- Pros:Dry, lots of sunshine, camels
- Cons:Hot, dusty, camel spiders

Update on OlgaOlga grows early vegetables in greenhouses. Last time she used her loan to install a watering system in the greenhouses and to purchase seeds and fertilizer. The harvest was very good. Using the earnings, Olga bought another plot of land next to hers and build two more large greenhouses there.
Olga's plot is on the edge of the village and sometimes her crops are stolen at night. This year, Olga's husband decided to install an alarm system in order to protect the crops from theft.
This time Olga is asking for a loan to purchase high quality seeds and to replace the film on the greenhouses. This will allow her to get ready for the season on time and to earn a good profit.
Участок Ольги находится на краю села и бывает что по ночам воруют урожай. В этом году муж Ольги решил сделать сигнализацию, чтобы уберечь урожай от краж.
В этот раз Ольга просит предоставить ей кредит для закупки качественных семян и замены пленки на теплицах. Это позволит вовремя приготовиться к сезону и получить хорошую прибыль.
Previous Loan DetailsLast year Olga used her Kiva loan for a watering system and another greenhouse. She made a nice income and bought a small piece of land nearby, on which she's now putting up two more greenhouses. There haven't been any changes to Olga's home or family. This year her oldest daughter is finishin... More from Olga's previous loan »
Additional Information
About HOPE UkraineHOPE International, a Christian faith-based non-profit organization, has been operating in Ukraine since 1997. HOPE Ukraine was the organization's first international venture. In addition to its core microfinance activities, HOPE also supports an active children's ministry in Ukraine in the form of "Tomorrow Clubs," after-school programs that teach children the gospel through games, skits and songs.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Venue Details
DITKA is longform improvisation inspired by Chicago's favorite coach. DITKA cast members and Second City alumni Frank Caeti, Brian Gallivan (Improv Asylum alum), Maribeth Monroe and Marc Warzecha are excited to bring their unique form of smashmouth improv to Boston. As alumni of The Second City Mainstage and ETC in Chicago, the DITKA cast was collectively a part of 14 resident revues at Second City. Since moving to Los Angeles, DITKA's cast members have been featured on MAD TV, NBC's Thank God You're Here, Reno 911, ABC's According to Jim, and The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Living in L.A. but maintaining a love for Chicago, DITKA wanted to form an improv group that would not only showcase their abilities at longform improvisation, but that would also have a name and brand that was keenly Midwest. Mike Ditka, winning coach of Chicago football, seemed a logical inspiration. After brainstorming improvisational formats and discovering a plethora of Mike Ditka quotes that were too hilarious to ignore, ("If God had intended man to play soccer, he wouldn't of given us arms."), DITKA's longform was born.
Simple but effective, a DITKA show begins with a quote from Mike Ditka being read aloud to the audience. Inspired by that quote, an audience member gives DITKA a suggestion. From there, DITKA performs 45 minutes of long-form improvisation that might not have anything to do with the football legend himself, but couldn't have been done without him. DITKA is thrilled to be performing in Boston, which they consider to be the "Chicago of Massachusetts." Go Bears!

Edit Article
How to Shout in Martial Arts
Often, you will find that the practitioners of various martial arts will shout when they do a kick or punch, or other form of strike. Known as kiai or ki-hap, this article will teach you the exact steps to get it right.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Get into your fighting stance and prepare to do a kick.
2Inhale, expanding your stomach area as you do so. Your abdominals should be tense and your stomach should move out and not in, when you inhale. This can be done either through your nose or through your mouth.
3Kick...and at the same time exhale sharply through your mouth while yelling in any monosyllabic sound. Often you can start in a closed consonant and end with an open vowel, or the other way round.
- You should find that your stomach pumps inward as you exhale.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Shouting when hit by your opponent also allows your body to be more resilient to attack. It is also said to prevent injury when hit.
- The ki-hap, or kiai, has three main purposes:
- To startle the opponent The shout can be used to frighten just as you attack, so that you can have a greater chance of success. Note though, that not many seasoned martial artists are likely to be scared by this.
- To show fighting spirit The shout also allows you to show your indomitable and determined fighting spirit, especially if you do it before the fight starts.
- To co-ordinate breathing and muscular contraction This is the most important purpose of the shout. It allows your strikes to have more power, and focuses your mind on the attack alone and nothing else.

I was told ahead of time that if things were going to be under an NDA situation, I would be asked to sign a contract stipulating such.]
A city is hit with a blast that radiates around six miles in circumference. People are turning into something they're not. The police are abandoning their jobs and staying hidden within their homes. The city has been blocked off by a fence that keeps the unknown virus contained and lets nobody leave. Gangs and addicts are organizing to take control of certain parts of the city, yet one man, one man survives. His name is Cole and within his body something is forever changing, evolving, turning him into something more than just your run-of-the-mill bike courier. Cole is the city's one last hope, the people's last chance at respectable life. Do you help these people or do you kill everyone mercilessly and without remorse? The choice is yours. It's up to you to become famous or inFamous.
Now, I know a lot of people are anticipating this title and I understand full well that inFamous is in a very early development stage. It is because of this that I need you guys to take what I say and feel about the title with that in mind. Sucker Punch is at the first rung of a ladder and they still have a ton of climbing left to do before the game is finished. This was clearly evident to me today. To be quite honest with all of you, if I had one word to choose in order to describe the experience I had, it would be... lackluster.
Please don't take that the wrong way. I will say that inFamous has A LOT of potential to be something special. I am a huge supporter and fan of the Sly Cooper franchises and I have absolute faith that Sucker Punch will be able to turn out an incredible title come launch. However, as it stands right now, inFamous has a long way to go in becoming a stellar blockbuster hit.
The main character is a bike courier named Cole. As we know, he's survived the devastating blast and acquired supernatural powers. He has a couple of friends, including a potential love interest. And that's all that's known, and frankly, all there seems to be right now. Therein lies the problem; according to the guys at Sucker Punch, the gameplay comes before the story.
Now, I can understand and even agree that gameplay makes a title what it is, however I cannot say that I can agree that a title with a lackluster story can ever attain true greatness. This was almost the vibe that I felt from the designers as they discussed the product. Yes, it's an open world where you can play by your own rules and enjoy the environment for everything it is, unfortunately I feel without an engaging storyline that drives the gamer to progress and want to learn more, we're going to end up with a less enthralling Grand Theft Auto IV.
Okay, so even though that initially sounds fantastic, how long did Grand Theft Auto IV really keep your attention? For me, the title became stale the moment I beat it. There is nothing exciting in that open world to keep you coming back. I feel inFamous may suffer from this same problem. Now that I have that out of the way, let me jump into the gameplay that I had a chance to observe.
I witnessed Cole riding along the top of a train, cruising through the open city, which, to the game's credit, was absolutely stunning. There was a great amount of destructibility present within the environment as well. If you want, you can destroy that environment from the top down, as Cole just happens to be a parkour professional; he can scale the tallest structures with ease. To interject, did I mention that Cole can use electricity as a weapon? Well, he can. Cole can utilize electricity in several ways. One of the most common uses is a powerful pulse attack that sends enemies and objects flying. There are also two other methods that were shown today; the standard ranged electrical attack and an ability which caused lightning to rain down from the sky (used to take out a mass of enemies or a tough boss).
Cole can also replenish his electrical surge by stealing it from his surroundings, whether via neon signs or other electrically surged items. This is pretty much all we saw of Cole, which wasn't the most impressive element the game had to offer. The coolest part about inFamous was how the AI and pedestrians functioned around Cole. Sucker Punch described this as Cole's own "studio audience." I couldn't agree more.
The citizens of Empire City happen to be completely dependent and you'll see them digging through dumpsters for food, gang jumping pedestrians for money or even just flipping cars and causing havoc. This is where the entire choices system comes into play as you'll be given the chance to protect and save the citizens or just obliterate them along with the bad guys.
The only question left for Cole to answer is, "Why did I survive?"

Recent Kayak Reviews
Eddyline Denali
Finally, a kayak for the big guys! I just took delivery of my red Eddyline Denali last month and all I can say is WOW! First of all, this is a gorgeous kayak! Hands down far more sexy than any roto-molded boat I have ever seen. The materials and craftsmanship are stellar. It's made of thermofoamed ABS plastic. It's 15'3" long and weighs only 50 lbs. Best of all, this kayak fits a big guy like me. I have a very athletic build. I'm 6'3", 250 lbs with a 34" inseam and size 12 shoes and I fit very comfortably… Full review
Sea Eagle Explorer 380x Pro Package
Extremely versatile, portable, easy to use "water SUV" that is perfect for any type of adventure one could imagine. This review is for the Sea Eagle Explorer 380X Pro package. The major difference between Pro and Deluxe is the seats: I like Pro seats much better but for more information look it up at the manufacturer website. I've been using this kayak for three seasons now and the fourth season is approaching. The quality of the kayak itself is fairly good: the body/hull is intact and holds up… Full review
Ocean Kayak Yak Board
A short, wide sit-on-top kayak that is very stable, turns on a dime, and is easy to transport and carry. Designed for surf, it is a fine fishing platform. The rugged build of this short and wide surfing kayak provides a go-anywhere platform for out of the way fishing spots. I have bashed rocks, floated through flooded timber, and explored small streams in the search for seldom fished waters around the Chicago area. Over time I have added anchor trolleys on each side allowing two anchors to hold… Full review
Pelican International Intrepid 100x
Great beginners kayak. The twin arch multichine hull is very stable, you would have to try hard to tip it. After reading all the great reviews of the Trailblazer 100 at Dicks, I was sold on Pelican. I had to call Pelican customer service to find out what hull was on that boat. Almost every review talked about the stability. I confirmed with Pelican that is had the twin arch multichine hull. She told me the Liberty, Trailblazer, Intrepid, Shoal, and Bounty all have the same hull. After seeing the… Full review
Perception Carolina 12
I had only kayaked a few times, but was very interested in becoming a regular kayaker. However, I was on a budget. I did a fair amount of research when looking for a kayak, and a 12' kayak was suggested by a family member who teaches kayaking, because of ease in loading on and off of vehicle, and ease of navigating in creeks, marshes and smaller spaces. It was also recommended that I get a kayak with closed compartments so if I took in water it wouldn't sink. The Perception Caroline 12 has all this. Full review
Necky Eliza 15 with Rudder
The Eliza is a sea kayak well-suited to women and men who are from small to moderate size. My Eliza fits me like a good shoe. Very responsive and stable! The Necky Eliza was designed to suit women paddlers, but it also suits men and teenagers. The people it doesn't suit are taller than 5'9" with big broad shoulders. The Eliza fits me perfectly at 5'1" — at 160 pounds, I'm at the top of the recommended weight for this model. Though I am stocky and plump, I can get into the cockpit easily onshore… Full review

This is the gold standard for inflatable folding kayaks. The Expedition is so portable I have taken it on airplanes as an ordinary checked bag. On the water, this recreational kayak handles well and has way more glide per stroke than the smaller models from the same manufacturer. The materials are tough and well-made. I am delighted with my Expedition. I have used it for more than four years and it is still going strong. The boat is very well-constructed of tough materials. The outer hull shows… Full review
Jackson Kayaks Mini Tripper
This is an excellent little recreational kayak for kids, teens, and small women. It's good for flat water and for fishing. Light enough for small people to carry to the water, it's still well-made of tough plastic. This handy little recreational kayak was the prize I won at a paddle festival. What a pleasure the Mini-Tripper was to paddle! I used it for a year, and it's now owned by the teenage children of a friend. I was not the person it was designed for, yet it still worked fine for me. At… Full review
Advanced Elements Lagoon1
This inflatable folding kayak is portable on buses and inside SmartCars and by small people. A very dependable recreational kayak, well-made with a terrific warranty. Available from the manufacturer, some stores, and West Marine stores and website. The Lagoon is my favourite kayak of the several different boats I own. I've used an older version of the Lagoon for eight years without it failing. It's still a reliable, convenient recreational kayak. Here's a photo of me using it for the first time,… Full review

If history is any indication, Thursday night's Game 4 of the NBA Finals should be one to remember.
Each of the last five Game 4s between the Celtics and Lakers in the NBA Finals were decided by 6 points or fewer, with the average margin of victory 2.8 points and three of them decided by 1 or 2 points. Each of these games was a classic in its own right, with four of them won on a shot in the final seconds and the other one arguably the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history.
Here are summaries form each game:
2008: Celtics 97, Lakers 91 - Celtics' historic comeback
Boston trailed by 21 points at the end of the first quarter, 18 points at halftime and by as many as 24 points in the game, but rallied back to win in astonishing fashion. The 21-point deficit at the end of the first quarter and the 18-point halftime deficit were both the largest overcome in NBA Finals history. The Celtics would take a 3-1 series lead and go on to win the series 4-2.
1987: Lakers 107, Celtics 106 - Magic hits the "Junior, Junior Sky Hook"
The Celtics led by 8 with 4 minutes remaining, but the Lakers used a 9-0 run to take a 1-point lead after a Magic Johnson-to-Kareem Abdul-Jabbar alley-oop with 30 seconds to play. Larry Bird responded with a 3-pointer to give the Celtics a 2-point lead with 12 seconds to play. Abdul-Jabbar drew a foul and made one free throw and missed the second, but the ball went out of bounds off Kevin McHale. Johnson took the ball on the wing and drove to the middle where he hit his famous "junior, junior sky hook" to make it 107-106 with 2 seconds left. Bird missed a jumper, and the Lakers had a 3-1 series lead. They went on to win the series 4-2.
1985: Celtics 107, Lakers 105 - DJ wins the game at the buzzer
In a close game throughout, the Celtics took a 1-point lead with a 10-2 run late in the fourth quarter. The two teams went back and forth for the rest of the game, with Magic Johnson tying things up at 105. On the ensuing possession, the Lakers double-teamed Larry Bird, leaving Dennis Johnson open to hit the game-winning jump shot at the buzzer, evening the series at 2 games apiece. The Lakers would go on to win the series in 6 games.
1984: Celtics 129, Lakers 125 (OT) - McHale clotheslines Rambis, Celtics rally in OT
With the Lakers up 6 in the 3rd quarter, Kurt Rambis was going in for a breakaway layup when he was clotheslined by Kevin McHale, leading to a full-scale brawl. Less than 2 minutes later, Larry Bird and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar started to fight and had to be separated by officials. Boston clawed back into the game, with the Lakers missing 4 FT in the final minute of the 4th quarter to allow the Celtics to force overtime. In the extra session, Larry Bird made a turnaround jumper with 16 seconds left to give the Celtics the lead, and eventually the win. The Celtics tied the series at 2 and went on to win the series in 7 games.
1969: Celtics 89, Lakers 88 - Sam Jones hits the game-winner
Just when it appeared the Lakers would enjoy a commanding 3-1 series advantage, Sam Jones hit a shot from the top of the key that hit the front of the rim and landed in with 2 seconds left. Jones described his game-winning basket as "a lucky shot." The Celtics tied the series at 2 games apiece and would go on to win the series in 7 games.

@Rogerr, times are tough everywhere in Spain but here in Mallorca, holidaymakers and wealthier expats are a massive aid to the economy.

State medical care--and access to it- here is still superb, better I'd hazard than in the UK.
@Johnny. Oh I'm with you there! I sometimes I think families do it deliberately to get us smug single travellers off our backsides and facing a little mayhem too. Of course those couples who sit on either side of a middle seat which they load with newspapers and books are culpable too. Few passengers on easyJet at least, are fooled by that ruse anymore!
@growler Oh yikes...Hitchcock lives on. As it happens I was on Dragonera island -the nature reserve- at the weekend and out of the blue a seagull swooped down and attacked my husband. Seemed quite amusing at the time but perhaps sinister forces are at play!
Thank you for all your comments. I think we need to lobby the education secretary to put languages firmly back on the agenda in schools. It is also absolutely true that learning another tongue teaches a pupil grammar-something seemingly of little importance in most British schools. I'd like to see Greek and Latin also more widespread in schools. They were two of my favourite subjects and greatly assisted me in learning other languages.
@sheonah Good thinking! Ah, that's interesting about JM. I shall investigate.
Thanks for all your incisive comments. I find it sad that some British holidaymakers can't embrace a wholly new culture even for a few weeks. Perhaps that's why I'm in in Spain and they're back in the UK.
@powaqqatsi well I'm relieved to hear that. Maybe Brits are becoming more assertive than when I was last living in the UK!
@Johnny, that's very funny! I'm still a very nervous cyclist in Mallorca and prefer running instead-I always think I can jump over a wall if necessary. @Martinpage Yes, I agree. I despair when huge groups spread across a small country road with no thought for the hapless driver.
@sexybeast. I have no problem with my Spanish hosts otherwise I'd hardly be living in Spain. They are entitled to run their affairs as they see fit but that shouldn't prevent us Britons from taking an interest in the way the country is run, surely?
@johnny yes I think it all looks fairly calm on the surface but there's a lot of paddling going on down below!
@kevinhandy Well, I think out of sight, out of mind might be the Spanish Royals' moto if he gets through this. Washington DC won't have seen the last of him yet!
@ToniHargis Good point. I know many Brits who married Mallorcans and settled here, and as you say people often leave the UK for work reasons.
Thank you for all your insightful comments but @silverlady you've got it wrong. Many of us expats have contributed to the UK government in taxes and National Insurance all our lives-I even got a letter to tell me I'd contributed the maximum this year! So, don't lump us all together. Most expats I know work extremely hard and continue to top up the coffers of the UK government. The British government has a duty of care .
@Bluenote That's very true. I remember returning from a tough but incredible scientific expedition some years ago and our exp leader telling us to keep our experiences low key on our return. He reminded us that few back home would relish hearing about all our adventures and there could be resentment. Sad but true.
@nobby. I'd take the boring option if it meant being crime free and travel elsewhere if I was after fun and games!
@dickgreendoxon Can't imagine Venice iced over....brrrrr @annabelkantaria Ha ha! No that isn't me but I'd love one of those hats?! Snow in UAE? How strange. Hope it's warmed up a bit for you.
@michaelnicholas Well Michael, I'm so glad you enjoyed reading about Jorge Muños. I love writing these blogs because it occasionally affords me the opportunity to beat the drum for a very worthwhile cause!
Yes, I've known Jorge Muños for several years and he is a truly remarkable person. Not surprisingly children everywhere love and trust him. He is one of life's givers with a radiant smile who always gives his time to others. Shame he can't be cloned!
@oldmovieguy True enough but whether you're in an old tub or a super deluxe floating wedding cake, you still can't get off when you want!
@justfornobby. Sorry slip of the pen...thanks for correcting me. A:)

"In my world, LinkedIn remains the most effective recruiting tool of all time."
This speaks less to LinkedIn's usefulness and more to the dearth of professional networking tools out there than anything else.
LinkedIn is basically an online resume service. The only reason it survives is:
1) People are too lazy to get domains of their own and post their own resumes
2) No one else has come along yet and eaten their lunch
LinkedIn for networking? You mean, that thing where if you don't already know someone you can't even send them an email? Uh, yeah, that's useful. "Oh, you mean, if I send LinkedIn money I can send them an email? Wow, that's awesome!! I never would have figured out how to find anyone in my industry and/or send them an email without this awesome service!!!"
Again, more proof of people's laziness than LinkedIn's usefulness.
Oct 29 Posted 2 years ago
So far, my experience with LinkedIn after several years of basic membership and dozens of unsolicited requests by people I don't know to join their networks (to which I almost always reply, "sure, why not?" in the spirit of adventure), my estimation of the value of LinkedIn is the same as my opinion of the value of screen doors on submarines.

Thanks for your note Seamus. Sounds like we share the same reality when it comes to the utility of LinkedIn. Not everyone gets it which is fine by me;-)

Thanks for your note Kent. Completely agree. Everything is useless if you don't know how to use it;-)

Jack--thanks for your note and reality check. My post was not meant to address or underplay the on-going challenges of gaining employment but rather offer up my perspective as a small business owner on the utility of LinkedIn. Clearly LinkedIn has been of no use to you in your job hunt which is unfortunate. All I can say is that I do hope you find more useful sources that will lead to gainful employment. Best of luck in your search.
Feb 5 Posted 3 years ago
I agree with the friend you quoted in the article. LinkedIn is useless, and your defense of it sounds very much like "ad copy"--trying to "spin" reality.
Over the past five years, I have discovered that the "justice" of the job market is simple and severe. If something gets you a job, it's a good thing. If it doesn't get you a job, it's a bad thing. LinkedIn has been of NO help to me at all in finding a job; therefore, it is a very bad thing.
Don't tell me about "networking" or "effective recruiting tool" or "properly using the platform." I've done all that. LinkedIn is just smoke-and-mirrors, used to distract people from the reality that there are 15 million fewer jobs today than there were five years ago. The Great Recession is NOT over, and 15 million unemployed people just like me are suffering mightily. And I'm tired of hearing people like you (safely and steadily employed) blaming US. You have NO idea how bad it is "out there."

Drew very interesting article. I think I am guilty of an assumption, that everyone else has a daily dosage of LinkedIn. Opens up a wider question about how we use social media, whilst we in resourcing et al, bang on about it, are the people we are trying to connect to as equally enthused about the plethora of social media options available to them.
Yes it is our reality, and LinkedIn et al shape that reality. However we should be aware that not every piece of talent is going to be readily available, in the obvious places. I suppose that's what keeps the job interesting, because change is a contact element of our work.
Jan 17 Posted 3 years ago
Hi Drew, your friend should understand that Linkedin is just a platform to use. When your friend thought Linkedin is useless, but why other people can make money thru' the same platform?
It depends on us how to use the platform. If one doesn't know how to use social media, they will blame social media rather than oneself.
Who is actually useless? :)

The county has five volunteer fire departments, each reporting as many as 80 calls a month.
The Lake Jackson Volunteer Fire Department responds to an average of 70 calls a month, sometimes providing basic lifesaving services.
Vince Long, Assistant Leon County Administrator, says, "That's a good thing. Currently they provide BLS, first response to unincorporated areas of the county."
The volunteer firefighters say they do their unpaid jobs out of a sense of community and have something they want to say to the communities they serve.
Mark Harron with the Miccosukee Volunteer Fire Department says, "The first thing they need to know is that we do exist. We are dispatched through the county and city contracts. Frequently on medical calls, we're the first ones on scene because we live in the areas."
Now that the county has taken over the ambulance service, it says there will be some positive changes for the volunteers.
Vince Long adds, "Since we started our new EMS service with our new medical director it only makes sense to extend and include more training opportunities for our volunteer firefighters along with EMS."
That's exactly what the volunteers want to hear.
Mark Harron says, "The new medical director may say he wants more training. I hope he does. It'll be good for the people."
The county says that providing the volunteers with a medical director is a great idea because often times they are first on scene. The volunteers operate under state regulation and are able to provide non-invasive basic life support.

Charisma is a crucial component of a politician's appeal to voters. But there's more than one way to inspire confidence.
Throughout his life, George Washington always had a strong connection to the land. Before he was a soldier and the country's first president, he was a surveyor, measuring and mapping parcels of land for settlers and speculators. Historian Barnet Schecter offers a fresh take on Washington's life through the maps he drew and collected over the years. Schecter's new book is "George Washington's America: A Biography Through His Maps."

I can't really figure out if the problem with my eyelid is caused by my lazy eye (although I had surgery to correct that when I was younger) or some type of ptosis. I feel like I look drowsy and spaced out all the time because of my droopy eyelid. I attached a picture because I'm not sure if this is ptosis at all. I don't want to get a surgery unless it will make my eyelids look the same size. I would also like to know if there are any alternatives to an eyelid surgery.
Is This Ptosis? And is It Fixable Without Surgery?
Doctor Answers 11
Is This Ptosis? And is It Fixable Without Surgery?
Maybe medial lid mild ptosis. See plastic eye specialists. There are possible medication drops that could help this. Or you may need a very minor levator repair. From MIAMI Dr. Darryl J. Blinski 3054 598 0091
Ptosis Options
Ptosis is generally best addressed with surgery, either performed through the inside or the outside part of the eyelid, depending on the type of ptosis and the function of the muscles that lift your eyelid. There are some non-surgical options such as Botox that can give some temporary improvement in some cases, but these injections are advanced techniques that can cause additional issues with drooping or asymmetry if not done correctly. Consult with an Oculoplastic surgeon for a full workup and appropriate diagnosis of your condition. Then, the best treatment plan can be discussed.
Tarsal levator advancement is an excellent option for ptosis surgery
Web reference: http://www.drpacella.com/upper-eyelid-ptosis/
You might also like...
Yes, you do have ptosis on the left side. It is easily correctable and should be successful at restoring symmetry to your eyes. There really aren't any non surgical options.
Yes you do have ptosis
You need to be seen by a plastic surgeon with experience in treating eyelid problems. From your picture ( important to note physical examination is required) you have ptosis in your left eye and because your brain is attempting to lift your eyelid as much as possible, you have overcompensation of your right eyelid, causing widening of the vertical dimension. There is no medical treatment for this, you will need surgery.
Good luck
Is this eyelid ptosis, or a "droopy" eyelid?
You may very well have eyelid ptosis on one side, but it is difficult to tell from this picture. An examination would be needed to determine. Often, one eyelid may actually have ptosis, but taping up the opposite lid during the exam may be necessary to unmask it. Best to see a plastic surgeon who has oculoplastic training or an oculoplastic eye doctor. Good luck.
Not Ptosis.
It appears that you have some component of eyelid retraction. Your issue to complicated to discuss via a blog. I would recommend you see a couple of board certified plastic surgeons and board certified oculoplastic surgeons. There are couple of excellent plastic surgeons in the Marietta and Paces Ferry area you should see. There are a couple of excellent oculoplastic surgeons in the Northside Hospital area. This where you should start.
Dr. ES
Asymmetric upper lids and ptosis
The photo you provided does show asymmetric upper lid creases, but there does not seem to be significant drooping of the lid (ptosis). However, often a high upper lid crease is a sign of a weakness of the upper lid ligaments (levator aponeurosis) and this may not have been captured by your photograph. I suggest you see an ophthalmologist for a complete evaluation.
Web reference: http://www.facialplasticsurgerymd.com
Nonsurgical ptosis repair
There are nonsurgical options to address ptosis but they are temporary. They include Botox and Fillers, placed in strategic locations to allow eyelid elevation or lowering.
Dr Taban
Asymmetric Eyelid Repair
It is somewhat difficult to tell from the picture. However, it appears that the eyelid crosses the iris at the same place on each side. This would mean that you do not have ptosis. There is a difference on the fullness of the eyelids, however. The right is much fuller than the left. The left looks almost sunken. If this is the case, then injection with a filler or fat on the left should solve the problem. See a Plastic Surgeon who specializes in facial rejuvenation, including the eyes and injection.

Labor Unions Wage Battle over CEO Pay
Diane E. Lewis The Boston Globe, THE JOURNAL RECORD
Two years ago, while speaking before the Council of Institutional Investors, AFL-CIO President John Sweeney argued that labor unions must use their influence as shareholders to rein in chief executives' escalating pay.
"We must challenge the... widening gap between the pay of a handful of top executives and everyone else in American society," Sweeney told the coalition of public-employee, union, and corporate pension funds that collectively control some $800 billion in assets.
This year, the gloves came off. Union pension funds and union-related groups are flexing their muscles on Wall Street by filing a slew of shareholder resolutions seeking to curb, cap or control the compensation of the nation's corporate executives. They join other activists who have made executive pay a big issue in recent years. One success so far for the unions: UAL, which is employee-owned, agreed in January to a union proposal that will tie a portion of top executives' compensation to worker satisfaction, starting next year. "Labor has always been resentful of CEO pay, but now unions are becoming much more sophisticated in their objections and their presentation," said Alexandra LaJoux, editor of The Director's Monthly, the newsletter of the National Association of Corporate Directors in Washington, D.C. Not everyone agrees with the movement. "What we are really seeing right now is the cost of doing business," Ted Jadick, a partner at Heidrick & Struggles, said about spiraling salaries. "If you are looking for a top CEO, and you have to find that talent in an open and competitive marketplace, then you must pay the market price. That means offering competitive compensation." In 1995, nine union-related resolutions were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission concerning executive compensation. This year, 23 proposals were filed. Such shareholder resolutions -- targeting skyrocketing executive pay, golden parachutes, and stock option packages -- are proposals that require approval by shareholders. One example: the AFL-CIO's Staff Retirement Fund, which wants to tie the price of stock options awarded to Dean O'Hare, the chairman and chief executive of Chubb, to the company's performance. O'Hare earned more than $2.8 million last year, including a bonus payment and other compensation, according to a 1999 executive survey in The Wall Street Journal. The AFL-CIO pension fund resolution maintains Chubb's chief executive could gain an additional $3.8 million from last year's grant of 99,250 stock options "by achieving a mere 5 percent annual shareholder return over the term of the grant." "We want to get at the fact that this company and others are giving out stock options no matter what the CEO does or what the company does," said William B. Patterson, the AFL-CIO's investment expert. "When the stock market goes up, they are rewarded regardless of their actions." Not surprisingly, Chubb and its compensation committee are opposed to the measure. In a written statement, the insurer argued that indexing, or linking O'Hare's stock options to company performance, would not be beneficial to shareholders. "Indexed options are rare among U.S. corporations," Chubb said in a statement. "The use of indexed options would depress and artificially add volatility to the corporation's earnings." Most shareholder resolutions rarely rally enough votes to pass. …

If you're a true environmentalist, you care deeply enough about the natural world to make protecting it a real priority. You may even have made it your life's work.
These days, there's no shortage of work for the world's environmentalists. What with climate change, oil spills, gas drilling, deforestation, and species decline (just to name a few), there's almost no time to breathe. Show me an environmentalist with nothing to do, and I'll show you someone who isn't paying attention. Environmentalists — people who work to protect the environment — often work hand in hand with conservationists, whose job is to protect and maintain as much of the natural world as possible.
Definitions of environmentalist
n someone who works to protect the environment from destruction or pollution
- Synonyms:
- conservationist
- Examples:
Rachel Louise Carson
United States biologist remembered for her opposition to the use of pesticides that were hazardous to wildlife (1907-1964)
Baroness Jackson of Lodsworth
English economist and conservationist (1914-1981)
- Types:
an environmentalist who belongs to the Green Party
tree hugger
derogatory term for environmentalists who support restrictions on the logging industry and the preservation of forests
