Many individuals in creative industries work in non-traditional work settings. Though immigration options for artists may seem limited from the outside, there are most certainly viable options for individuals working in artistic fields of work. A simple overview of the process can open the door to opportunity and a more stable career in the U.S
"I began working in immigration law because I want to help people. I have worked with many creatives over the years and it is sincerely one of the most fulfilling parts my job to see a musician perform or a artist present her work. Their passion is truly inspiring and I am so glad that I could be a part of making that process come to life" Sharon Brenner.
The class will be tailored depending on class size and the profession of the attendees. The visa process will be reviewed in lecture form accompanied by a visual presentation, followed by a Q&A.

Comentários sobre a acomodação
Good sized apartment not far from the centre. We arranged for off street parking with Gregory, and we had no problems with our stay. The apartment is in a quiet area, and I do not remember hearing any aeroplanes!
The flat is very nice and not so far. The only problem is getting back after 1 am, but it is not owner´s fault, it´s the Bruxelles public transport. We had a nice experience.
We only slept one night in the appartment of Gregory, but everything was very ok. A neighbour gave us the key and Gregory was previously very helpful in answering our questions. The next day we were soon at the airport. Very handy!
Our family consists with 3 kids stayed here for 1 night and this place is ideal for small family.
Greg assisted us to meet and get the key from caretaker. She is a nice lady although I couldn't understand her french at all :-).
We spent last weekend in the flat of Gregory and our first experience with Gregory and Wimdu was pleasant. The appartment is nicely furnished with all the ammenities you'd expect to have a comfortable stay.
We were welcomed by Gregory's pleasant and friendly house keeper and she showed us everything we needed to know, we managed to communicate though she only spoke french. Parking is available and we paid 10€ for our 2 night stay there (not sure if it's 5€ per night or 10€ per stay but it's really convenient)
We also had a small accident in the house and Greg and his housekeeper has it sorted out in no time!
Can't commend about public transport since we drove everywhere and the centre of Brussels is only a stone's throw away.
nice place to stay, quite and the apartment, that has everything you needs.recommended Apartment!
Gregory is a great host. The apartment is clean, very roomy and is well equipped. We totally enjoyed our stay and would come again. The center of Brussels can be reached easily by bus or tram.

Chapter 9 (Part Two - Toward Persephone)
The car drive provided Belial with an unexpected feeling of serendipity. The monotonous grey sky and repetitive green trees were broken sporadically by signs telling him how far he had to go. The radio told him all sorts of stories, from girls kissing other girls and liking it to silly scotsmen walking one thousand miles to be with him. The car had a lemon scented freshener shaped like a pair of breasts hanging from the rearview mirror.
Apart from these human intrusions there was a humming sanguine silence that filled Belials mind with a gratifying nothing. This calm was just an sensory precursor to a large looming overwhelming dread and the forthcoming return of guilt.
The guilt arrived as he reached the door of the 'Punch and Judy' bar for the third time in the space of a day. It seemed longer than that since he was sitting in London having a drink with a long haired old friend.
The pub was quiet, the hum of the refrigerator providing the only auditory entertainment for the only five customers. These customers were familiar.
Satan faced him immediately, to his right Lucifer, Abaddon, Aim and Beelzebub. Belial and Emanuelle went to the bar. After two cokes were ordered Belial took a deep lumpy breath and moved to the table.
The seven of them remained silent for a what felt like an age. It was Beelzebub who spoke first.
"No questions about Aim and then there will be no questions about..." Beelzebub motioned toward Emanuelle who hurriedly gave her name. She had never seen these before outside the battle. Satan was a big daunting monster, Abaddon looked like his lemonade was more menacing than he, Lucifer could have passed for a vampire and Beelzebub was just ordinary. She had never heard of Aim, nodded politely to him all the same.
"So what are we going to do then?" Abaddon asked. The Barman came to the neighbouring table and began avidly scrubbing at it with a greasy yellow cloth, he smelt of mouldering ale and whiskey. Intuitive to the sudden lull in conversation the Barman realised his presence wasn't welcome and swiftly moved back to the bar and began his futile scrubbing there.
"I have been up all night reading through the recommended scrolls Moebius spoke of yesterday. I know what we must do." Beelzebub leant back wearily against his chair as if to display how utterly draining his day had been. Belial thought of describing his own night but swallowed his tongue.
"Ok thanks for the dramatic pause Bubs. What do we need to do." Lucifer was wringing his pallid hands on the dark brown table.
"There are relics spread about the ethereal realms, part of this war was spent looking for them. I have spent most of the night trying to unlock their whereabouts. One or two have proved tricky."
"You are talking about the five objects of eternal power. The five objects that are supposed to combine to make the most powerful weapon ever created. The same five objects that many Angels and Demons alike have spent their entire existences searching fruitlessly for." Belial had clicked first it seemed.
There were many folly riddled stories about these objects.
"The Ark, The Sword, The box, The eye and the Lyre." Abaddon appeared to be speaking to himself.
"Exactly." Beelzebub looked around the group and saw that not one of them could believe the incredulity of the statement he had just delivered.
"Listen Belial, were are exiled from our homes, again. This war has been dragging on all our lives, and now we are without armies. We have two choices. We can start another rebellion against the rebellion we started, or get to grips with the fact that we have to try doing this on our own." Beelzebub leant over the table the fingers tips of each hand touching the other.
"You may want to hear this out." Aim spoke with a very matter of fact tone. "We have pored over the scrolls and unlocked the clues. We just need to find the rest."
"Ok, lets hear what you have to say Beelzebub." Satan huffed a large 'lets humour him' breath.
Beelzebub looked around.
"Firstly there's the box. Pandora was gifted a biox by Zeus and in it were kept all sorts of unimaginable horrors. The Elders had crafted this box from the weapon so the legend says. Now, Hera destroyed the protal directing in the dominion of Hades from her end six hundred years ago, at that same time a young boys account of two men escorting a white haired woman clutching a package emerged. Apparently they left Hades without steeds or vehicles, the men returned without the woman three days later."
"So?" Belial demanded a little more forcefully than he had intended.
"It tells me that Hera and Hades are protecting something of importance. Pandoras box probably rates as important do you not think. Now if the white haired woman was Pandora then the box must be kept somewhere near Hades." Beelzebub had taken the excited tone of a detective telling the unwitting people around him how he had come to the conclusion that Miss Scarlet killed Gravy Rockinpants in the garden shed with a pair of tweezers.
"Rigth but we can't get to Hades through the portal because..." Abaddon began.
"Never mind that for a few minutes. The Apollo never let the 'Lyre leave his sight. He disappeared nine centuries ago. Moebius found in her journal the exact date that he went to Elysium and has never returned."
"So the Lyre is in Elysium then, how strange for a Roman to hold a trinket in Elysium." Belial snorted.
"Will you cut the sarcasm?" Satan growled.
"The eye of Horus. DO you remember Titvillus' last gift to the Demons before he died? The Ceramic amulet depicting an eye?"
"That is in Hell, you have got to be kidding me." It was Emanuelles turn to retort. Belial shook his head impatiently and eyed beelzebub fiercely.
"The sword Excalibur is here on earth. Merlin was reported to pass it to Arthur who passed it down his Pagan line and hold it in secret, so the snag here is we need to study his lineage."
Satan shook his head, Abaddon held his head in his hands and lucifer resumed combing his hair with his hands.
"We all know where the Ark of the covenant is. Jehovah took it back and we have all stood before it in his halls previously when we tried to engrave a treaty in the history of the war."
"Well done, you know where all these unreachable trinkets are then. So what's the plan then, which one are we going for first then?" Satan leant back on his chair throwing his solid arms emphatically behind him and slouched awkwardly.
"We can't go as a troop, if we attempt to acquire one the Angels will learn of it and then we will be racing for all of them. There is no way that either side could completely gather up these items this way." Beelzebub took a long concerned swig from his lemonade.
"So we have to go individually then?" LUcifer asked horrified.
"A simultaneous operation would give us the element of unpredicatbility to be able to..." Beelzebub began.
"Good Idea, I tell you what we'll do as well, we can stop by the Reapers impenetrable fortress and fly a unicorn into his tower and slay him with a vicious attack of bad breath and flatulence too." Belial seethed.
"Have you any better ideas? You were the one who put us in this damned position. Maybe you have a way of surviving our prophecies and winning this war. What have you in mind Belial, master demon of lies?" Satan's words were just what Belial had dreaded before he reached here. The accusation and the guilt, all the negative emotions that he had collected over the last few hours. This combination made him remain silent.
"So who gets what then?" Abaddon broke the glaring silence.
"Belial goes to the netherworlds to retrieve the box."
"But you said the portal..." Belial tried not to start his sentence so aggressively, but the boiling weight of guilt seemed to force these words out of his mouth.
"There is a portal to the netherworlds. Three days south from Persephones home. If you can get there without being noticed, she surely will oblige you a secret route into the dominion of Hades where you can speak to Hades himself." Beelzebub looked uncertainly at Belial.
"Persephone, oh no." Belial slumped back on his chair. There was one name he had dared not think about for a long time.
"You are the only one who can do it Belial. Lucifer must go to Elysium. The Ancient Romans deified him. As a minor god there is a chance he can get to Apollo."
Lucifer grinned and nodded at the mention of him being a deity in the old Roman faith.
"We need an accomplished thief to break into Jehovah's palace and acquire the Ark. That leaves Abaddon. Satan may still have some weight back in hell and be able to help overthrow Balthazar, or at least cause enough of a fray to create a distraction. That leaves me with the human."
The room became silent except for the repetitive squeak of the barman rubbing yet another table. Belial looked at Beelzebub levelly. "You honestly think this will work?"
"No, but it is the only chance we have." Beelzebub downed the rest of his drink. "Belial you must leave tomorrow as you have the furthest to travel, the rest of you have three days to prepare."
All nodded reluctantly to the affirmative before finishing their drinks and leaving the pub.

Zito: Birdstone Will Train Up to Travers Stakes
Marylou Whitney's Birdstone, who denied Smarty Jones the Triple Crown with his victory in the June 5 Belmont Stakes (gr. I), will make his first start back in the $1-million Travers Stakes (gr. I), trainer Nick Zito said July 23.Zito has stated since the Belmont he would not run Birdstone in the Jim Dandy Stakes (gr. II), because the 1 1/8-mile race is only three weeks before the Travers, and he is afraid the colt would "run his guts out," in the prep. Being Birdstone is such a small, lightly made colt, it would be difficult for him to bounce back in such a short period of time.Though there is an allowance race opening day at Saratoga for 3-year-olds and up, Zito has decided to pass it and wait for the Travers. Birdstone, by Grindstone, has had only one work since the Belmont, a :50 3/5 half-mile breeze, which is a sharp work over the deep Oklahoma training track."There are no easy allowance races at Saratoga, and I'm afraid he'd still have to run too hard in that race," Zito said. "The only shot I have of getting him to the Travers is to train him up to the race. So, we'll just have to wait it out and get him in that cycle and try to pull it off. There's nothing else I can do; those are the cards that were dealt me."He has run some of his best races off layoffs, and he has shown he's a freak of physical fitness. He proved that in the Belmont."Whitney's husband, John Hendrickson, has no reservations about Zito's course of action. "He's the best trainer in the world," he said.

Mic capsules distorting at low level in binaural dummy head? Resistor help please?
Hi folks.
So I've built a binaural dummy-head mic featuring the Panasonic WM61a capsules. The problem is that the mic capsules seem to be distorting, apparently caused by upper-mid frequencies. Here's a very short demo showing what I mean.
I performed the linkwitz mod on the capsules as the idea is to use the head at gigs, and built a pair of phantom-powered, phase inverting circuits, one for each mic. I used this circuit:
The only difference is that Terminal 3 on the capsule goes to ground as per the advice of Bill Wall.
However, as I said the capsules are distorting easily, at low input settings, with human voices seeming to break up very easily. Both are doing it the same way. So I was wondering if anyone might have any idea what might be going on here? I have another head with the same capsules, unmodified, and that can handle much higher levels than these, even though the Linkwitz mod is meant to raise the SPL.
If anyone's got ANY ideas I'll be incredibly grateful, I'm really not sure what to do here now.

Nate... I'm not expert at all on mic techniques and circuitry but I would suggest at least checking that the capsule is operating with the correct voltage according to the data sheet. Perhaps the capules you are using don't behave as expected when modified away from their original design, that's something I have no experience of.
Also, I think this might get more exposure in the "analog source" section. If you want it moving just ask
Edit... a scope check might reveal where the distortion originates. ie mic or following stage.

Cheers Mooly, I wasn't sure where best to put this, if you wouldn't mind moving it to where you think it should be that'd be excellent.
The electronics aspect of this project was admittedly a little over my head, so Bill Wall really helped me through it a fair bit via email. He assured me the voltage output was correct, but perhaps that's at fault. I'll take a look with the multimeter and see what voltage is being put across the cap. Would it be across terminals 1 and 2 I'd want to test?
I'm not sure what a scope test is so I'll look into that!

Are you sure of the pin connections? The capsule comes with the gate (can) connected to the source. If pin 2 is the source it can not be the most positive pin because the FET used in these capsules is not reversible. Try 1 on top 2 on bottom and 3 ground.

So I put the multimeter to the thing and:
- With the mic connected, I put the probes across 2 and 3 and it reads 6v.
- I don't know if this is of note, and I'm probably betraying my lack of electronic knowledge, but with the microphone disconnected, it reads 46v across 2 and 3.
Scott, my understanding was that the Linkwitz mod makes 2 hot, so I thought I'd connected this properly. Bill's advice was to connect it in this way, I'll try reversing them and see what happens.
As I say, I bit off a little too much doing this project, I'm great with the building aspect, not so much with the electronics, so I kind of feel like I'm bumbling my way through this stage of it!!

Moved to Analogue Source
The 46 volts with the mic disconnected sounds OK as that will be the phantom PSU voltage. With the mic in circuit and drawing its rated current the voltage settles to around the 6v you measure. That to me sounds OK.
Scott is a real expert around here on these kind of FET related problems so well worth trying his suggestions.

Looks like in copying things often there was a switch. In drawing below I see your same images of the cut but if you look closely they went with a simple direct connection to an XLR. The numbers in the little circle are the capsule pins (1 is hot) and the 2 here refered to XLR pin 2.
Note: pin 3 must go to an AC ground. In the original pin 1 was connected to the battery so it did not matter but you must ground pin 3.

Hmm I swapped the connections around on one of the capsules and it seems to have sorted it.. going to solder it up properly this morning and see how it goes. Looking at all the wiring diagrams for the mod I can see what you mean, it does look like I did it back to front!
Is there any chance I'll have damaged the capsule by having it wired back to front?

That seems to have done the trick. I've shouted as loud as I dare, and turned my monitors as loud as they physically go, and can't get it to distort. I'm heading into Trafalgar Square on Saturday, so I'll set it up in the middle of the crowd and do some recording with the H4N.
But I don't think it's premature to say thankyou guys, particuarly Scott obviously. I don't think I'd have found that fault, and may well have ended up rebuilding the entire circuit incorrectly again to try and solve it. So thanks very much.
I'll report back in a few days with some recordings.

Good quality of bread. I wanted a simple baguette with cheese and salad. It was not on the menu but they still made it for me.
Maybe the tea was a little expensive $5..
Good atmosphere.
the cakes and bread , look good, they taste a lot less good, as always to much butter , too rich , when you find European baking in Japan, and the price is far to high for the quality on offer
I would visit Boulangeries Paul very often to get a baguette from the oven when I was in Paris. Really glad their bread is consistently good even outside France. We ordered the tuna salad lunch and the quiche lunch, both include a basket of bread and drink. Needless to say it tasted good. The quiche was especially yummy! The quiche...
Best sandwiches in the area. Decent quality bread and good range from tuna fillings to more usual ham & tomatoes. My personnal favorite: Ancien Dieppois (tuna mix).
Lovely poached eggs hollondaise sauce - not for anybody on a diet
Have popped into Paul's a couple of times now and your are always guaranteed lively fresh pastry and good coffee. Smoking area inside pollutes the non smoking which is a shame. If this wasn't the case I would be there more. Always a wide variety of fresh sweet and savory pastry worth the stop
Great bread, nice sandwiches. If you order sausages or pizzas, they'll ask you if you would like that warmed up (I see people get confused by that all the time); Just say "hai". The restaurant portion is okay; The portions are small, but it's great to have tea/coffee and cake.
You can buy beautiful french bread at Paul. They have a cafe and you can enjoy tartine, quiche, galette, salad etc.. You can also have bread and coffe in Izumi Garden court yard.

There are 25 candidates seeking election to 13 different local government positions on the May 16th ballot. That's the most choices Florence area voters have had in many years. In addition to that, Lane County residents are being asked whether or not they want to renew an additional property tax levy that has been generating an extra $5,000,000 a year to operate the jail and fund youth treatment services.
How do you get answers to your questions about the different candidates and the levy?

Objective: To determine the degree of concordance
between clinical cause of death and autopsy diagnosis in a medical ICU
(MICU) setting.
Design: Retrospective medical chart
and autopsy report review.
Setting: MICU in a tertiary
referral hospital.
Patients: Consecutive admissions to
an MICU over a 2-year period from January 1, 1994, to December 31,
Interventions: None.
Measurements and
main results: One thousand eight hundred patients were admitted
to the MICU during the study period. There were 401 in-ICU deaths
(22.3%). The autopsy rate was 22.7% (91 of 401). The mean ± SD age
of the autopsied patients (55.1 ± 13.5 years) was lower than
those without autopsy (62.4 ± 15.2 years; p < 0.001). The two
groups were otherwise similar with regard to sex, race, APACHE (acute
physiology and chronic health evaluation) III scores, and lengths of
stay in the MICU and hospital. The discordance between clinical and
postmortem diagnoses was 19.8% (95% confidence interval, 12 to 29%).
There were no differences in age, sex, APACHE III scores, predicted
mortality, and lengths of stay in MICU hospital between patients with
concordant and discordant diagnoses. In 44.4% (8 of 18) of the
discordant cases, management would have been modified had the autopsied
diagnosis been made premortem. Seven of the autopsied patients had
organ transplantation. Three of the patients who had organ
transplantation had discordant diagnoses, including two patients with
disseminated fungal infection that was not diagnosed clinically.
Although the observed discordance in transplant patients (43%) was
higher than in those without transplant (19%), the difference was not
statistically significant (p = 0.15).
Younger patients tended to have a higher autopsy rate than older
patients. The discordance between the clinical cause of death and
postmortem diagnosis was 19.8%. In 44.4% of the discordant cases,
knowledge of the correct diagnosis would have altered

There can be few racier literary or artistic sets than the Pre-Raphaelites. Perhaps only the Bloomsbury group can rival them for incestuous pairings, which is why Henrietta Garnett, the daughter of David Garnett and Angelica Bell (herself the daughter of Garnett's lover Duncan Grant and Virginia Woolf's sister, Vanessa Bell) is so well placed to understand them. And yet she seems reluctant to trust her own background or instincts here, preferring to rely on secondary sources. This is a pity, as I suspect she would have a great deal of insight, even if it meant more supposition than she was comfortable with.
At first, her focus is on the wives and "stunners", those beautiful girls on whom the Pre-Raphaelite painters and poets alighted: Effie Gray, Lizzie Siddal, Jane Morris. Inevitably, Gray's marriage to the art critic of the day, John Ruskin, dominates the first 130 pages. Ruskin's horror at the revelation of his wife's naked body on their wedding night led to an unconsummated marriage, and then scandal and divorce when a love-starved Effie fell for Ruskin's protégé, John Millais. Garnett tells this unhappy tale from Effie's point of view, but omits what it might tell us about what it means to be a muse.
Siddall's fate was a far worse one. Garnett traces her sad relationship with Dante Gabriel Rossetti, her beginnings as his model, her growth into an artist and her final demise as his wife, addicted to drugs. Garnett allows herself a rare moment of speculation about their sexual relationship before they were married, writing that the granddaughter of William Holman Hunt, Diana, confided in Garnett her personal belief that Lizzie had had an abortion before marriage. Garnett finds the truth of this "debatable": "Family anecdotes abound. Just because they are repeated doesn't make them necessarily true," she writes.
Once Lizzie is dispatched, we turn to Janey Morris, the sexually mysterious wife of the arts and crafts movement's William Morris, and the lover of Rossetti. In her role as lover-muse, she had to compete with the ghost of Lizzie, but Garnett will only comment on Janey's "hold" on Rossetti: "she was mysterious, fascinating and alluring. She was indeed, his ultimate muse". Is mystery the key to a muse? It didn't help Effie, and it didn't help Georgie Burne-Jones, wife of Edward.
By now, though, Garnett is losing her focus, and the women are fading against the lives of the artists. Consistency in group biographies is essential but tricky to maintain. Details, which single-study biographies can indulge, struggle for space here. Garnett has some very juicy material at her fingertips, but there is little new for the reader to discover.

I Had a Mommy Makeover in May 2012 and Would Like a Bbl, but I Never Seem to Put on Weight Can I Use Donor Fat?
Doctor Answers 5
Brazilian Butt Lift, candidate
Donor fat for a Brazilian Butt Lift would not be feasable.
Buttock implants are better options for patients who do not have enough body fat for transposition.
Please consult in person with an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon prior to making treatment decisions.
Donor Fat for Brazilian Buttlift?
If you have an identical twin, donor fat can be used. However, if you do not, then you must use your own fat. An exam would be necessary to determine if you have enough fat to transfer. Find the plastic surgeon with the best credentials who has performed hundreds of Brazilian buttlift procedures.
Donor fat transfer
You cannot use donor fat for the procedure. You should get a consultation to see if you are a candidate for Brazilian Butt lift, because sometime we can find enough fat to perform the procdure. Otherwise, you might be a better candidate for gluteal implants.

text: HOUSTON, March 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Synthesis Energy Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: SYMX) ("SES") has entered into an exclusive marketing and engineering agreement with Simon India Limited ("SIL") to exclusively market SES' gasification technology for projects in India. SIL is an engineering, procurement, and construction ("EPC") company and wholly owned subsidiary of Zuari Global Ltd. of India. SES' advanced and commercially proven gasification technology is extremely well-suited for the high-ash coals that make up more than 80 percent of the domestically available coal in India. As part of the agreement, SES will exclusively use SIL for all engineering work it performs for any Indian gasification projects that it is awarded. SES will also train SIL on its proprietary technology and process design techniques to enable SIL to eventually produce SES' engineering packages for all its Indian projects. Robert Rigdon, president and CEO of SES, stated, "This marketing and engineering agreement with Simon represents an expansion of our marketing efforts in India. Simon is a strong partner for the execution of our engineering work for projects in India, and we look to build on that relationship to allow for Simon to be our global engineering partner. India is an excellent market for our technology, and we believe having an in-country partner with the strengths of Simon will further our capabilities to deploy our technology in this rapidly emerging market." Sharad Nandurdikar, managing director of SIL, said, "Simon is confident in the ability of SES' technology to be deployed at a great scale in India, and we are excited to partner with them to make that happen. Our engineering team in New Delhi conducted an exhaustive study of a number of other gasification technologies and found SES's technology to be the best suited for high ash Indian coals and lignites. We look forward to working with SES to develop the first project in India for SES' gasification technology." About Synthesis Energy Systems, Inc. SES provides technology, equipment and engineering services for the conversion of low rank, low cost coal and biomass feedstocks into energy and chemical products. Its strategy is to create value through providing technology and equipment in regions where low rank coals and biomass feedstocks can be profitably converted into high value products through its proprietary U-GAS ® fluidized bed gasification technology, which SES licenses from the Gas Technology Institute. U-GAS ® gasifies coal cost effectively, without many of the harmful emissions normally associated with coal combustion plants. The primary advantages of U-GAS ® relative to other gasification technologies are (a) greater fuel flexibility provided by the ability of SES to use all ranks of coal (including low rank, high ash and high moisture coals, which are significantly cheaper than higher grade coals), many coal waste products and biomass feed stocks; and (b) the ability of SES to operate efficiently on a smaller scale, which enables the construction of plants more quickly, at a lower capital cost, and, in many cases, in closer proximity to coal sources. SES currently has offices in Houston, Texas, and Shanghai, China. For more information on SES, please visit www.synthesisenergy.com or call (713) 579-0600.

I have had Rhinoplasty eight months ago for deviated septum and removal of a hump. Could facial muscle exercise such as smiling or "lifting" the cheek muscles hurt the nose after Rhinoplasty?
Facial Muscle Exercise After Rhinoplasty?
Doctor Answers 6
Facial movement after rhinoplasty
I would concur with Dr. Persky.
Anything in moderation is acceptable.
There are many theoretical ways in which "excessive facial movement" could potentionally compromise the results of a rhinooplasty.
However, mild facial movement is not likely to have any adverse consequence.
Avoid extremes and don't go to a comedy club the day after a rhinoplasty. Any muscles affecting the nose are likely to cause minor discomfort with excessive movement. Therefore pain may be a good guide in which movements are to be avoided.
Rhinoplasty; Is Excessive Facial Movement Harmful in the Immediate Post-Operative Period?
Hi Gabriela,
When the nasal bones are incised during rhinoplasty (osteotomies), the nasal bones are not solid again for 3 to 4 weeks. It is during this period that we ask our patients to refrain from excessive laughing and facial muscle movement.
Smirking instead of big smiling is advised in the immediate post surgical period. In 25 years of performing rhinoplasty have I ever seen or heard of a problem caused by excessive laughing after rhinoplasty......no.
Smile and the world smiles with you, smirk, and the world will know that you recently had a rhinoplasty.
Be well.
Dr. P
You'll be fine that far out after Rhinoplasty
That far out from Rhinoplasty, you should be fine with no problems. Closer to the time of surgery, theoretically, you may something from smilling or chewing, but not that far out.
You might also like...
Facial exercises are okay.
Hi Gabriela- Facial exercises such as grimacing, smiling, frowning, and laughing will not hurt the rhinoplasty results and have no effect on the rhinoplasty operation itself.
Shouldn't be a problem 8 months after Rhinoplasty
Patients should be OK for normal facial movements after 8 months. It is certainly important to limit facial movement the first few weeks. Things like excessive smiling could distract tip position during early healing period.
Facial movement unlikely to alter result of a rhinoplasty
At eight months post surgery you are well out of the period where external factors may affect a result. It would be unlikely that normal facial movement, even early in the post operative phase, would change or alter a result. If you are hit in the nose, this is an entirely different matter. Moderation is the key

Latest industry research report on Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) system is another milestone in the technological advancements related for the application of surface mapping and detection. The system uses pulsed laser technology to measure variable distances from a source. The system can also be used for object detection and inspection applications. LiDAR systems are preferred over conventional surveying methods due to their ability to provide highly accurate data and 3D images in a shorter time.
The rising demand for 3D imaging technology across various application areas such as entertainment, healthcare, defense and other sectors largely fuels the demand of these systems. Additional utility advantages of LiDAR in archaeological survey applications is gaining a massive adoption in the Asia-Pacific region. The low awareness about the benefits of LiDAR systems and the use of expensive components in LiDAR systems viz., laser scanner, navigation system, high-resolution 3D cameras, etc. are factors that restrain the adoption of LiDAR technology and hinder the market growth.

Back in the mid 1980s when the Kirby petition circulated there were a lot of options for comic book artists, writers, editors and the like. Alongside Marvel and DC were other, smaller, companies, such as Pacific, Innovation, Eclipse, Dark Horse and a host of other, smaller publishers. Distribution was handled by at least two major companies, Diamond and Capitol City. Competition was healthy enough for a book to be cancelled at Marvel (Ghost Rider) for only selling 100,000 issues per month. Today 100,000 issues per month would be classed as a blockbuster beyond compare. Today the world has changed, and not entirely for the better.
|Michael Netzer's complaint to the FTC
Over the years several companies have come and gone. Eclipse and Innovation folded years ago. Malibu was bought by Marvel who shelved the characters and refuses to publish them. Dark Horse is still hanging in there, albeit on a limited basis. Image was hailed as the saviour of the comic book world, but they too aren't what they once were. In a move reminiscent of Marvel/Malibu, DC Comics bought the crown jewel of Image, Jim Lee's Wildstorm, and in doing so hobbled the competition to the point where they're not the force they once were. It's ironic to think that Lee joined Image because he wanted creative freedom and was tired of the 'plantation' that Marvel had become, now heads up DC Comics, a plantation in it's own right. Wildstorm is all but gone now. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Where did it all go wrong? Everyone has a theory, mine is a simple one – things began to go wrong when Capitol City folded and Diamond emerged as the sole distributor for comic books and comic book related items. People will argue that there are ways to get your books into stores without Diamond, and indeed there are, but those methods have limited success, if any success at all. Ordering is done via Diamond, shipping is done via Diamond. If you want your book to be seen, ordered, read and bought, then you need to go via Diamond or you might as well forget about it. Diamond, with their monopoly, dictate the rules. If they want they'll simply shut a publisher down, as they did Claypool Comics a few years ago, by refusing to carry their books and citing poor sales. Who wins with Diamond? Marvel and DC – they have the biggest ads, they have the most space and they strangle smaller publishers into oblivion. Diamond is only too happy to assist with this by bringing in unrealistic cut off limits and refusing to carry smaller publishers and magazines. In almost any other field no one company could establish and maintain such a monopoly without being reported or investigated, but Diamond are allowed to do this. As to why they are, well your guess is as good as mine.
The other main issue with comic books today is that, well, they're no longer comic books. Each time I pick a title up and browse I can almost see the panels being used as storyboards for the next movie featuring the characters. Designs, plots, dialogue and visuals are taken from the books and used wholesale, generally with the original creator not being compensated for their work. The concept of comic books in 2011 is one of a farm, they exist to feed ideas into movies to make money for the studios, for Marvel and DC and for the producers – in fact they make money for virtually everyone barring those who come up with the ideas in the first place. The comic book industry truly is a plantation now, and those who would argue otherwise are those who are profiting from the ideas, concepts and visuals of others.

Digital Orthophotographs
Digital orthophoto quads are computer-readable air photos that have been processed to minimize distortions found on traditional photos. When these products are formatted to correspond with quadrangle maps, they are called digital orthophoto quadrangles. Minnesota was the second state in the nation to complete statewide coverage.
Black and white DOQs for the entire state were completed by the U.S. Geological Survey from the 1991-92 NAPP flight. Each uncompressed quarter-quad data file covers about 13 square miles in Minnesota and is approximately 45 megabytes in size. These files can be obtained from USGS; however, most users would likely use the compressed county CDs.
The thumbnail image above shows the State Capitol in the northern portion of downtown St. Paul. The full image is at 640x480 with a resolution of 1 pixel = 1 meter and shows the Capitol mall area, including the State Office, Transportation, Judicial and Centennial Office buildings. This and other digital orthophoto quads are best viewed with a monitor that can display images at 800x600 with 256 colors.

A short little thing that appeared this weekend to share…
A Pause before Writing Once More
By TeraS
There is a place in the Realm, one that is quiet, thoughtful, and, occasionally, is inspiring. Some would think it was the Fountains of Passion, or the Lake of Fire. Others, like Miriam, would suggest the Library of the Realm would be a good choice as well.
For Tera it was each of those in its own ways. The stories that floated around them all, in the fabric of all of their existence, were calling to her every day. The problem was that, for Tera, it wasn't a question of writing a story. No, the problem was writing a story that would, somehow, tell of each place in the right way with the right words …
And yes, Tera had problems with that because she was a perfectionist and really never could allow herself to see that what she wrote was the right thing in the right way. She was—and she did admit this to a very few—aware of that problem. But there wasn't a lot that she could do about it. After all, the problem was between her horns and, being the stubborn Queen of the Succubi she was, that was going to take a lot to change.
Still, there was inspiration in the Realm, and, even though she couldn't bring herself to write as much as she wanted to … The inspiration would be there waiting for her.
The thing of it was … she was tired. It had been some time since she had managed to tell of the Realm in the way that she wanted to because of many things that got in the way of her telling a story.
There were, of course, the things that all Queens must do, or believe they must do, or do because they feel they must. Tera wasn't immune from that and so she did what was expected, what she thought was expected, and what she believed was expected. The problem was, of course, that the doing took away from the telling, and that was a dilemma for her. Because telling of her Realm, of those she called family, of the beliefs she had, meant quite a lot to her.
As such, while she did smile and was herself, the smile was a little bit tired, her tail was a little bit less perky, and, if you really looked at her, it was clear that she was just that little bit not quite herself.
At the end of a long, long day, Tera found that all of the things to be done were, all of the expectations were met, and there was time … time for once to go off to that place where she could, possibly, find a tale to tell in the place that inspired her.
It wasn't that she couldn't have before if she pushed aside the needs of others, which she wouldn't. It wasn't that she couldn't have ignored the requests as well, something that would have never crossed her mind, either. The thing of it was she put others before herself because that was who she was … and it mattered to her that she did so.
So she went into the little out of the way room in her home where she sat down and wrote about things when she could and gathered the two things there she hadn't seen or touched in what seemed to be ages: a simple red pen—what other color could it be for one of the Succubi—and a little notepad with redlines upon it (again, what would you expect it to be?). They were a bit worn on the edges, the pen nibbled on the end, the notepad's pages dog-eared, of course, for how long Tera had owned them both? Well, to say how long would be telling … but they had been with her for a very, very long time indeed.
Picking them up, she brushed a hand through her hair, kissed her Eternal lovingly, and then went out into the Realm towards the place she wanted to be.
She didn't make it three steps out her door when a young Succubi and Incubi ran up to her and asked for advice about … well, it wouldn't be polite to tell what they wanted, would it now? But Tera smiled, found that the joy of the two made her happy, and, of course, she spent some time talking to them both. Before the two left, the Incubi asked, "Tera? What is that you are carrying?"
She looked at her pen and the notepad and considered what the answer was. A pen? A notepad? Well they were that, but they were more than that too. To explain that they were, in a way, a portal would have been confusing. The young didn't use things like Tera did anymore. Their notebooks or tablets or other things were digital, and were magical in their own way, but didn't quite allow the words that came from within to be without exactly right.
The answer she gave was one of her riddles: "Understanding."
Then she hugged them both, wished them well, and made her way … along the path from her home to the trails nearby … through them to the gold cobblestone walkways that traced through the core of the Realm and then beyond … up into the hills that overlook her homeland until, finally, she came to the spot that she hadn't visited in so very long …
It was rolling field of grass on the top of one of those hills where, if you rested there at just the right spot, which Tera knew, would give you a view of the Realm in its entirety. But this time she found waiting there for her two things … well, three, really. One was a cup of tea, freshly brewed and exactly the right temperature. The other was a piece of apple pie, just out of the oven, the smell of it divine in the breeze.
And there, beside the two gifts was a little card.
She opened the card and looked inside to see a message that meant everything to her and always would: Refresh yourself, Dear One, and when you have your story, I will be waiting by the fence. –Your Heart
Tera settled in beside the gifts, placing her notepad and pen there beside her. She sipped the tea, grateful for what was shared, and watched the milling of the Realm below her. A bit of the apple pie, and she looked towards the Lake and watched the Tails playing there … a bit more tea, and now a look at the Library to see Miriam there, which brought a smile to Tera as it always did … some more tea, and she watched the AngelKitties fluttering around their mountains, playing and cavorting about.
She found her mood lighter, her tail a bit more perky. There was a warmth within her not just from the tea and pie, but knowing that whatever she wrote, whatever came from her fingers, would be something to share with her Heart, and, most of all, that it would be something …
… good.
She finished her tea, putting the cup on the grass beside her, the plate and fork from the apple pie carefully set there, too. A moment later, and she held her pen in one hand and the pad she knew so well in the other. Looking over the Realm, she gathered her thoughts, shook out her tail and, with a smile, no longer tired, called out to the world around her …
"Tell me a story …"

JESSIE J once stole a hoodie emblazoned with the mantra "It wasn't me" from SHAGGY's hit tune.
When the singer was caught, she tried to raise a smile with the security guards by using the line to try to wriggle out of the consequences.
Jessie said: "I stole a hoodie once from Atlantic Clothing that had 'It wasn't me' written on it, when the Shaggy tune was big.
"Security didn't find it funny when I said I was joking."
The tale ends there – and is one of the biggest revelations Jessie makes in her autobiography Nice To Meet You – My Story.
Her magazine-style book is packed with snaps of her with celebs, beauty advice and even her favourite recipe.
It also contains her tips on how to organise your wardrobe – by separating dresses from trousers.
Although there's a lot in there about growing up coping with an irregular heartbeat.
At least she hammered home an anti-shoplifting message after her brush with crime in one of her biggest hits – Price Tag.

The travelling band of animals
A Poem about a band of animals
If you ever feel the need to want something
Or even feel the want to need something
If you ever want an alternitive...
Then you will like what I have to offer...
What about a Kangaroo that can play Guitar?
I searched for one near and far
Before I saw one in the pet shop
But the music it played was electric Pop...
It gave me an idea
To make a band
Full of animals
From all over the land
To entertain the kids
From Scotland to Japan
I found a Beatle
I called him George
I found three more
And you get the idea
where I'm going
Then I found a Mouse who could
Hold a tune, very good
It was brilliant
Believe it or not
But it couldn't
Sing very long
as it had massive wage demands
One's that don't belong in my band...
Then I found a drummer
Did I mention he was a dog?
But he would stop barking
It drove me mad
But it was talented
More talented than
Ringo Starr
Even though
I wouldn't call that an acomlishment...
A Pianist
By the name of Thumper
who looked like bugs bunny was next
He was perfect
Allough, he had an ego
A major drawback
'cause he walked away huffily
In the middle of rehearals
And I can't deal with that.
Since I had found my band
I thought of what I should do
We had a rehearsal or two
Before we went to a record labal
To see if they would take us in...

In honour of National Poetry Month, Globe Books is pleased to bring you poems from some of the season's most exciting new collections.
"... of unknown origin, perhaps connected to the root of hide (v.)."
– house, the Etymology Dictionary
Have you a house like mine, with doors to other houses?
One cupboard, whenever it's cracked, smells damply of threes:a roadside cross, snowfall, a bell of glass
ringing darkly in a house from another century.
A boy lives there, with his stranger's life.
As for mine: it too, ringing darkly.
The job of a house is to have a roof.
And the job of a life? It might be anything,
made of wood or drift or warning.
– Anne-Marie Turza
Households is excerpted from Anne-Marie Turza's debut book The Quiet, published this month by House of Anansi.Report Typo/Error

From the Experts: Comparing Single & Dual Hose
Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioners MAXIMUM EFFECTIVENESS
- The room is cooled up to 40% faster and more efficiently.
- There is no pressure lost within the room because all indoor air is cooled and ventilated.
- The second hose allows outdoor air to be brought in to cool the unit during operation.
Single Hose Portable Air Conditioners
- Warmer air from adjacent areas (under doorways & other unsealed areas) enters the room to equalize air pressure. Because of this, it takes more energy and time to cool down a room.
- Some internal air is exhausted through the window and causes the room to lose air pressure.

Attorney general warns Hoosiers of 'secret shopper' scams
Cat Andersen/Eyewitness News
Indianapolis - A new scam is conning even the most skeptical Hoosiers out of thousands of dollars by disguising itself as a legitimate way to make a few extra bucks.
Karen Hardy has a job and a steady income. But her car just got broken into. Someone bashed the windows in. She needed a few extra hundred bucks to put a down payment on a new car, and thought she found a solution.
Showing us a letter she received in the mail, Hardy explained, "It just says that I could be a secret shopper. That's something I did when I was in college years and years ago, but that was legitimate."
Many mystery shopper programs are legitimate. They pay you to go undercover as a customer to rate products and services for companies that are looking for feedback.
Hardy was told her assignment was to spend $150 at either Gap, Walmart, K-mart, Macy's, JC Penney or Target and fill out a survey, rating the store's customer service.
"Because they're legitimate stores that you're going into, there's a certain sense of validity," said Deputy Attorney General, David Paetzmann.
Hardy was also asked to evaluate a Money Gram agency and/or a Western Union by wiring a certain amount of money and reporting back how smoothly the transaction went. She was issued a check for $2,980, told to wire back $2,310, and keep $400 for herself as payment for her work.
"The check looked real. It's from Harris Bank in Chicago. It sounded like a legitimate bank, and when I called, an actual human answered the phone. The man told me to deposit it into my checking account, and I said, 'I'm not going to give you my checking account number.' He said, 'That's okay. We don't need it.' and I brought it to the bank," Hardy said.
The victim in this case got lucky. Her bank caught the fake check right at the time of deposit, but the attorney general's office says in most cases, it takes banks 7 to 10 days, sometimes two weeks, to realize the checks are counterfeit, and by that time, victims have spent most, if not all, of that money.
"The checks look very convincing, and, just like the victim, the bank staff may look at the check and feel like it's a legitimate check and give the victim a sense of security," Paetzmann said.
Once the bank finds out the check is counterfeit, the victim is responsible for getting the money back.
"The problem is, once the money has been wired, it's very difficult to track," said Paetzmann.
The Attorney General's office says they're getting reports every day from Hoosiers looking to boost their income, who now owe $3,000 to $4,000 to their banks.
"I think the advertising is very convincing," says Paetzmann.
One victim who responded to a newspaper ad was asked to evaluate Wal-mart and their Money Gram service. In the instructions, she was told to act "cool, calm and confident" so as "not to arouse any suspicion" that she was a secret shopper. There was also incentive to act quickly: "As soon as you get the transaction done, a second assignment will be sent to you ASAP, so that you can start earning more cash," the instructions read.
"Anytime you're asked to wire money from a company after receiving a check should be a warning to people to be cautious," advised Paetzmann.
Legitimate "secret" and "mystery" shopper programs will rarely give you more than $50 cash. Most offer $5 to $20 per assignment, or they just give you the services that you're evaluating for free, by reimbursing you after your shopping trip.
Keep in mind it could take a few months to receive the reimbursement and you do have to claim it as income on your taxes.
