Latest news from Electric Kiwi
3 ways we're using smart technology to save you money
We started Electric Kiwi because we saw a gap for a power company that could maximise smart technology to save New Zealanders money on their electricity bills.
Smart (or digital) electricity meters had been around for a while (in major urban areas up to 90% of homes have one) but few power companies had taken up the challenge to do anything smart with them. We thought we could change that.
To kick things off, we built our IT systems from scratch, so we knew they'd be agile, super-efficient, and specific to our customers' needs.
That was just the start. Now we're using smart technology to help our customers save money (and time) every day – here's three ways how:
1. Looking out for you
Your smart meter records your household's power consumption every 30 minutes. By analysing our customer's power usage, we can optimise the cost of our wholesale electricity purchases - helping us to bring you low everyday prices.
2. Boosting your savings
This extra information on power consumption means we can also provide incentives for people to use power when it's cheaper "off peak" – times when the nation is using less power as a whole. So we established the free daily Hour of Power for every customer at a useful "off peak" time, to help them boost their savings even more.
3. Awesome online service options
No one wants to wait on hold – or wait by the letterbox for their bill. Electric Kiwi customers have a personalised online account which holds all their billing and power use information down to the half-hour. Our Live Chat, email, social and call back options mean our team of friendly experts can sort our customers' queries asap while they get on with their day.

With a huge range of options covering all musical periods, genres, and countries, studying Music at King's enables you to immerse yourself in the world of sound, stretching across the centuries and around the globe. Today, music is the most global cultural expressions, and we pride ourselves not only on the range and diversity of the modules we offer, but also on the diversity of the approaches we employ, including compositional creativity, close reading of scores, aural training, contemporary critical theory and historical scholarship, ethnographic and scientific studies. There is plenty of opportunity at King's or the Royal Academy of Music to participate in concerts and chamber music groups and to receive first-rate coaching. You will have the opportunity to play a leading part in the College Orchestra and to sing in the Departmental choir. Recitals take place throughout the year. A particular strength of the Department is that we offer you individual lessons at the Royal Academy of Music. In your first year you will study with an Academy postgraduate student. Depending on your performance level, you may be able to subsequently change to an Academy professor.
We think it is incredibly important that you receive close personal attention. We teach some modules, such as Music History, through lectures and seminars or tutorials. Others we teach largely as seminars, with students making presentations followed by group discussion. We teach a few modules through small tutorial groups of four or five. For lessons in Advanced Composition and in Performance you will be taught one-to-one. Our Department has an international reputation for its excellence in teaching and research and our staff aim to connect research and teaching, both in the classroom and at the many research seminars held in the Department..
You are assessed through a variety of methods according to the subject matter and the level. These may include essays, examinations, portfolios, in-class assessments, recitals, dissertations or other forms of musical analysis.
London is a city of music. We are fortunate to be located in a beautiful building overlooking the River Thames at the heart of its arts district. You will have easy access to London's endless live music offerings at the South Bank arts complex, at the Barbican Centre, at London opera houses and the innumerable music clubs and concert venues. Within 20 minutes' walk of the Music Department are the West End Theatres, Cinemas and Art Galleries. The Maughan Library with its extensive music holdings will be at your disposal as well as the Senate House Library of the University of London.
Courses are divided into modules. Each year you will normally take modules totalling 120 credits.
Please note that if you look to take all modules from within Music you will need to study all the optional modules available in Year 1. Alternatively, you can take up to 30 credits of modules from other Arts & Humanities departments (subject to availability).
You take 120 credits of optional modules from the list.
You may apply opportunity to spend the second semester of this year studying abroad at one of our partner universities. Our current partner institutions include: •

Practical Requirements
We value practical skills highly and offer many performance opportunities. Candidates wishing to pursue performance as a formal part of their studies and to receive individual tuition at the Royal Academy of Music will hold ABRSM Grade 8 in their main instrument by the time they arrive at King's. Keyboard skills (at ABRSM Grade 5) will be an advantage, especially in Techniques, Analysis, Composition and Aural Training.
If ABRSM exams are not being taken, then we will consider equivalent qualifications. For example:
* Trinity College London Music Grade Exams
* London College of Music graded exams
* Similar graded music examinations from other countries
Graded exams are strongly preferred but if they are not available, we will consider a reference from the applicant's Music Tutor commenting on their level of performance with reference to the ABRSM framework.
Musical and Academic: We look for applicants with an enthusiasm for reading, debating or writing which shows signs of an enquiring and critical attitude in the appreciation of cultural, scientific, and artistic issues. We welcome applicants who have participated in musical master-classes or summer schools, or have attended the junior departments of conservatoires or specialist music schools. We look for applicants who show potential and achievement as a performer, composer, or music thinker and can demonstrate an awareness of what the study of music at a university department involves. We want to attract applicants with some knowledge of foreign languages, evidence of acquaintance with some of the standard repertoire through study and/or performance, a good musical ear, and the ability to write about music and cultural issues.
We look for applicants who have participated as fully as possible in school, college or community life, e.g. membership of orchestras, choirs, musical ensembles, music clubs, giving instrumental tuition, and participation in theatrical productions, dance performances, visual art exhibitions, poetry readings, and festivals.
General: We are keen to attract applicants who have varied extra-curricular interests and enjoy active participation in areas such as sport, travelling, outdoor activities, crafts, and community work.

"Oi!" Hatchet shouted, jogging down the street. "You! You can't put that there!" He gestured almost rudely to a cart that had stopped in front of an ally. The man who was busy unhitching the cart's two horses turned, a concerned expression on his face. One of the horses also turned and gave the watchman a dirty look. Hatchet grimaced and winced as light from the midday sun bounced off of the brass goggles slung around the man's neck, the horse's bridal, and every other shiny surface in the vicinity. Once again the Watchman cursed being drafted into daylight duty to babysit the attendants of Her Ladyship's technology fair.
"Sorry?" The man said, though it came out as more of a question than an apology. Hatchet noted that he did not move to reattach the horses.
"I said you can't put that there," he repeated. The man looked Hatchet over, probably noting the slung rifle, sheathed sword, fancy uniform, and annoyed expression. The last two came together to form an almost universal image of an officer of the law.
"Um, yes," the man was obviously calculating his words carefully as he spoke, "I heard you, officer. What I mean was, why can't I put it here?"
Because I bloody well said so and now you're off to lockup for giving me lip, was Hatchet's first thought. But he checked himself and took a deep breath. "Look, you're in front of an alley, see?" He flung his almost rude gesture in the direction of said feature. Many years of dealing with people who didn't quite understand why you wanted them to do things gave Hatchet the insight he needed to cut the next question off short. "Fire code," he added promptly.
"Oh?" Hatchet narrowed his eyes at the one syllable response, and strongly considered the possibility that this man was intentionally being obtuse. He settled for nonchalantly placing a hand on the pommel of his sword, noting with satisfaction that the man's eyebrows raised ever so slightly.
"Aye," he replied with his own single syllable. "Fire code," he said again. Even if the man was being intentionally annoying, it was still the duty of the Watch to educate the populace so they didn't make the same stupid mistakes twice. Cut down on the workload, overall. "If a fire starts back in there somewhere, the brigade can't get in there to put it out if you've got this big heaping pile of... whatever it is, in the way." Now that he was looking more closely at the cart, he did wonder what was underneath that huge white tarp. "And just what is this a big heaping pile of?" He started towards the cart, curiously reaching out a hand to lift up the edge of the tarp.
"Careful!" the man exclaimed, and made the mistake of reaching out towards Hatchet's arm. The Watchman's sword was out in an instant, and the begoggled cart parker's hands teleported into the air. "Woah, now," he said, "I just meant you should be careful there. I spent years on some of that, and I'd rather you didn't just rip the tarp off and send it all falling to the ground. That's all."
Aware that he was making a bit of a spectacle in the street, Hatchet sheathed his blade. "Yeah," he grumbled, "Well. You take it off, then. I'm havin' a look."
As the man bustled about the cart undoing tie downs in what appeared to be a very specific order, Hatchet sighed and rubbed at his eyes. He wasn't used to this. Years on night shift meant he only saw daylight a few hours at a time. He'd become a creature of the night, and he ought to have been asleep.
"Ta-da," the man sang, and with a whoosh of material the tarp lifted off and floated to the ground. Hatchet's eyes were again assaulted by bright reflections, this time coming off of the very shiny surface of whatever was under the tarp. For a moment, he couldn't tell what it was because he was nearly blind. Once he'd recovered and there were only a few spots left floating in his vision, he still couldn't tell what it was. There was certainly a lot of metal, though. And gears, he could see gears. There were levers, too.
There was an awkward silence. Clearly, the man intended for Hatchet to be impressed. "It's... very shiny," he said at last. He cleared his throat. "What's it, exactly?"
"The transportation of the future," was the enthusiastic answer. "Once I get it all assembled, anyway. Right now it's sort of in pieces."
"Don't need anything to transport you to the future," Hatchet mused. "Wait around long enough and it'll come to you." He though it was a rather philisophical thing to say; very profound, very intellectual sounding. It yielded another awkward silence.
"Not... no, not like that," the man said carefully. "I mean its... the thing everybody will be getting around in, soon. I hope. Like a horse and cart, only better."
Hatchet looked from the confusing pile of metal to the horse, which had stopped giving him the evil eye and was now happily pooping on the cobblestones. "Better, eh?"
"Yes," the man replied, following Hatchet's gaze. "It won't do that, for one."
"Very good. Yes... well, you'd better move the cart," he said, getting the conversation back on track. "Fire code," he reminded the man.
"Yes, fire code. Of course." The man nodded his understanding and went about putting the tarp back on his wagon. "Just down the street there will be fine, I hope?" He gestured to a spot against the side of a building that was generally occupied by a seasonal market stand, now gone to make way for the participants of the technology fair.
Though he didn't really see it since he was squinting and rubbing his eyes again, Hatchet could guess. "Yes, there," he gave a nod.
"Right. Say... you look like you could use these," the man said, and Hatchet peered through squinty eyes at something that was being held towards him. It turned out to be a pair of goggles, not unlike the ones the man was wearing around his neck. The glass lenses in them had a smoky color, though."I use them when I'm dealing with things that glow a lot, or spark, or when I'm welding. Or when it's bright out..." the man trailed off. "Anyway, they shade your eyes and you can still see through them."
Hatchet took them and strapped them over his eyes, adjusting his helmet slightly so they fit. When he was finished, he looked around at the world through different eyes. "Wow," he said, genuinely impressed. "Now this, this is ta-da worthy!"
The man laughed and shook his head. "I never really thought of it like that. It was just something to make my job easier."
"That's all anybody wants," Hatchet said. "Something to make life a little more bearable. I were you, I'd sell these instead of that future cart. You sure you don't want these back?"
"Nah, I've got an extra."
"Very good. Say, what's your name?" Hatchet asked. He wasn't one to forget a favor, and his new shade goggles certainly rated.
"Frod," the man replied. "Heinrich Frod."
"Hatchet," he introduced himself in return. "I'll see you around, Mr. Frod." He watched the cart move off and shook his head. "Tourists," he muttered. This festival was going to be long, and it was going to be a pain in the ass. But maybe it wasn't all bad. He wiped a smudge off of his new goggles and smiled. Nope, not all bad.

Communication lapses blamed in botched plays
Green Bay - Poor communication was the explanation buzzing around every corner of Green Bay Packers headquarters Monday after the secondary botched three big plays and several smaller ones in a 45-38 victory over San Diego on Sunday.
On Tuesday, after a day off, players concurred with their coaches that communication had something to do with lapses, but in no way were they thinking the situation was as bad as in 2008, when big gaffes were the norm under then-defensive coordinator Bob Sanders.
"That was totally different from now," linebacker Desmond Bishop said. "That was more of a disconnect. You could feel the players not really believing in the system anymore.
"This is just a matter of getting everybody hitting on all cylinders. It's up and down. Sometimes we're on point and sometimes we're not. We just need to figure out how to hit on all cylinders."
It's doubtful anyone on defense has lost any faith in coordinator Dom Capers' defense even in the face of allowing 400 yards of offense for the third straight week and fifth time this season. The Packers rank 30th in total defense and 31st in passing defense after allowing 460 yards to the Chargers, which is enough to cause concern even to a team that has yet to lose a game.
One of the concepts Bishop was willing to entertain when it was suggested to him Tuesday was simplification of the defense.
Capers and his staff have done a terrific job of making their system player-friendly to the extent that players like Erik Walden and Howard Green were able to step in last season and contribute soon after they were acquired.
However, the season-ending injury to veteran safety Nick Collins has removed the main traffic cop from the secondary, and the safety tandem of Charlie Peprah and Morgan Burnett has had some issues meshing with the cornerbacks. That was particularly evident Sunday, when the secondary was stressed by a very creative offensive attack.
"Maybe simplifying it might not be like a punishment," Bishop said. "It might actually be good. Teams game plan for so much stuff and we only do a few things, it might throw them off. But that's up to the coaches."
Three plays from Sunday illustrate best how the mistakes are both communication and player performance issues.
The first: On third and 1 at the San Diego 43 on the last play of the first quarter, quarterback Philip Rivers connected on a 38-yard completion to receiver Vincent Jackson to set up the Chargers' second touchdown.
The Chargers used the same play the New Orleans Saints did on a 31-yard touchdown completion on the first drive of the season opener. They ran a play-action fake that caused Peprah to come up and abandon his deep middle position and allow Jackson to beat cornerback Tramon Williams for the long gain.
There's a little bit of gray area because Peprah wants to be aggressive to the ball if it's a running play, but player performance comes in because the secondary was made aware of the possibility of a play-action fake. In his defense, Peprah did the same thing Collins did on the play against the Saints.
"We had expected that, we had just called it out, 'Watch the shot,' " Williams said. "It just didn't get done."
Peprah took the blame for hanging Williams out to dry but said he did have run responsibility. In retrospect, he said, he would have read the play longer and gotten back to give Williams any kind of help that would have made it harder for Rivers to complete the pass.
The second: On second and goal at the 5 in the fourth quarter, the Chargers sent three receivers out from a bunch formation and both Williams and Peprah let Jackson run free into the back of the end zone for a touchdown.
Williams ran up on a pass in the flat similar to when he picked off Rivers and returned it for a touchdown in the first quarter. Charles Woodson went to the flat as well, leaving Peprah to shade toward tight end Antonio Gates in the middle.
Williams insisted his responsibility was in the flat and not to follow Jackson, although if he had he would have had another interception.
"There's no gray area, there should have been someone there, but you can't fault anyone," Williams said. "Everyone should have pushed up. But there should have been a play on that. You know, that happens."
The third: On first and 10 at the Packers 29 with 6½ minutes left, Rivers completed a touchdown pass to a wide-open Jackson.
This time, the combination was Burnett and Williams and the two were in quarters coverage with Williams on the boundary and Burnett in the next quarter. The two were playing the right coverage, but they got confused about who was supposed to cover Jackson and who was supposed to cover the other receiver, Gates, who ran into Burnett's zone and then broke off his route into Williams'.
It wasn't so much verbal communication as it was reading the way each guy was going to play it. Williams was running with Jackson but then broke it off because he didn't think Burnett was covering Gates and instead was going deep with Jackson.
But Burnett was going toward Gates also.
Heading into the Monday night game against Minnesota, these are the kind of problems Capers is going to have to address. None of the players think it's something that can't be fixed.
"It's just a thing where you have to trust the guy next to you and not try to do too much," Williams said.

SITN's successor program, the Solar Training Network, will continue the momentum started by the SITN. This new program seeks to meet the needs of the growing solar industry by continuing to build the network of solar training providers, job seekers and employers. The newly configured Solar Training Network will be led by our friends at The Solar Foundation.
Solar Instructor Training Network
Solar Instructor Training Network Successor Program Announced
"Time keeps on Slippin', Slippin', Slippin' into the Future"
What a difference five years makes. Since 2010, the Solar Instructor Training Network (SITN) has become the benchmark for building a highly qualified, well-trained solar workforce. Thanks to the vision and support of the U.S. Department of Energy's SunShot Initiative, this cohesive network of nine Regional Training Providers (RTPs), IREC and DOE championed vitally relevant issues in workforce development and solar training and education.
New Solar Career Mapping Tool Launched by IREC at Solar Power International
A new, highly interactive Solar Career Map launched by IREC, designed for workforce professionals, educators, policymakers and job seekers, explores an expanding universe of solar-energy occupations, describing diverse jobs across the industry, charting possible progression between them, and identifying the high-quality training necessary to do them well.
5 Ways to Improve Your Training
Recently, I somewhat cavalierly confessed that I didn't always recognize the need to improve as a trainer. Did I really believe I couldn't learn new things?
Safety's Role in Training: President's New Goal 75,000 Solar Workers
Joe Sarubbi, project manager for the Solar Instructor Training Network, told Bloomberg BNA that safety training is an integral part of the courses, with specific training depending on how experienced students are with electrical and construction work and the jobs for which they are preparing.
President Announces Training 75,000 Solar Workers With Help of the SITN
President Barack Obama is expected to announce today a new goal to train 75,000 workers by 2020 for the growing solar energy industry, including military veterans.
Another proud moment for solar and the SITN
President Obama announced a new goal to train 75,000 people to enter the solar workforce by 2020, some of whom will be veterans. This new goal builds on the tremendous progress of the DOE SunShot Initiative's Solar Instructor Training Network, which includes nearly 500 partnering educational institutions across the country.

Within the Walls
When I worked as an electrician, I knew that most people had little idea how much effort went into installing a light and switch in a home. They only saw the end product – the light and switch – and didn't always "value" the time and effort it took to install those devices. They rarely saw all my work accomplished within the walls.
Not Just Another Brick in the Wall
In the summer, I tend to listen to music more often than during the rest of the year. During my formative years, I was a fan of the rock group Pink Floyd, and yes, I still enjoy their music today. One of their more famous songs, "Another Brick in the Wall," was released in 1979, the same year I started teaching, so it has special meaning to me. I made a pact with myself that I would never be just another brick in the wall, and I'd like to think that over my 32-year teaching career, I've made a difference.

Was it really just a few days ago that a triumphant Wayne Ferreira described the sight of an opponent losing his cool on court under pressure as one of the most beautiful sights in tennis?
Tonight, it was Andre Agassi's turn to enjoy the view. There, very early in the second set, was Ferreira smacking his sneaker with his racket in disgust. There, late in the second set, was Ferreira punching his strings in the same foul mood. There, as the inevitable approached, was Ferreira flinging his racket out of his right hand altogether.
Ferreira, the freckle-faced South African with the elaborate forehand, had waited 11 years to get back in a Grand Slam semifinal, and Agassi gave him very little time to revel in his unexpected return to the sport's higher reaches.
In total, this experience lasted 1 hour 28 minutes: nearly an hour less than the fifth set of Andy Roddick's infinitely more memorable match against Younes el-Aynaoui in the quarterfinals here.Continue reading the main story
It would be tempting to call Agassi's 6-2, 6-2, 6-3 victory a learning experience for Ferreira if he were not already 31 and so deep in debt to Agassi. In 11 matches against Agassi, he has won just one set. Tennis is a game of matchups and Ferreira, for all his success over the seasons against Pete Sampras, matches up remarkably poorly with Agassi, in large part because Agassi knows that Ferreira's backhand is his weak wing and has the precision and pace to find it repeatedly.
''I chased everything, competed hard, basically got beaten pretty easily,'' Ferreira said. ''He played great. If he plays like that, I mean you can see his results through the whole tournament. No one's even come close to having a chance. I didn't have a chance today.''
The only man to get remotely close was France's telegenic risk-taker Nicolas Escudé in the third round. He won one set, which is one more than anybody else during this Australian summer. Agassi may be 32, but it is difficult to imagine that he has ever come into a Grand Slam final with more fuel left in his tank.
And instead of Sampras, Lleyton Hewitt or some other well-established threat looming as the final hurdle, his opponent on Sunday will be 9th-seeded Andy Roddick or 31st-seeded Rainer Schuettler, neither of whom has taken so much as a set off Agassi, and neither of whom has been past the quarterfinals in a Grand Slam tournament until now.
Roddick's huge serve and youthful exuberance could pose some sort of threat, but once he gets into a baseline rally, he will probably not be quick enough to protect his backhand (please review tapes of the last 11 Agassi-Ferreira matches). Roddick also played an epic five-hour match to beat Aynaoui in the quarterfinals, which came two days after another five-set marathon in the fourth round in which he rallied from a two-set deficit.
''First of all, I think it's a great thing for tennis,'' Agassi said when asked about Roddick's play here. ''I also think that coming back from two sets and a break is also sort of a milestone in one's career. It makes you realize that you're dealing with another human being on the other side of the net. If you fight hard enough, things can happen. So I'm sure it's going to help him to even become a better player.''
All that stands between two all-American singles finals in Melbourne is the fleet, fit and largely unknown figure of Schuettler. What does that say about tennis?
''It says that we have 300 million people in our country, first of all,'' Agassi said. ''But I think countries go in cycles. Plus, we've been sort of blessed with a phenomenal generation of tennis players from all of us sort of on the men's side to now on the women's side. But times change. You never know when that is.''
Ask Schuettler and his fellow Germans. Until rather recently, Agassi's wife, Steffi Graf, was winning major after major and Boris Becker and Michael Stich were intimidating opponents at Wimbledon. Now, the German in the semifinals is considered a journeyman-made-good after an off-season spent upgrading his endurance and movement.
''He runs like a deer,'' Agassi said.
Schuettler can run like a cheetah, but Agassi is still a whole lot closer to winning the title. That would be his fourth in Melbourne and his eighth Grand Slam singles title, putting him in a tie for sixth with Jimmy Connors, Ivan Lendl, Ken Rosewall and Fred Perry but leaving him well short of Sampras's record 14.
''If you ask me, that's what's driving him,'' said MaliVai Washington, Agassi's now-retired former Davis Cup teammate.
Sampras, who defeated Agassi in last year's United States Open final, decided not to retire but also decided not to play here. Agassi missed plenty of Australian Opens in the early years, but he has not missed one voluntarily since coming here for the first time in 1995. This year, he followed his now-established routine of pushing himself in December with his friend and longtime physical trainer, Gil Reyes.
''He's never been 32 before, and at 32 going on 33 in a few months, we had to reassess how we go about it,'' said Reyes, saying they spent more time on lower-body work than in previous Decembers.
''It's not easy to come down here very prepared, but it sure beats the alternative,'' Agassi said. ''That's what I always remind myself.''
It has, after all, been two years since Agassi last won a major title. ''It's certainly something I want every year,'' Agassi said. ''I wanted it bad last year. I had one opportunity for it.
''To lose in the finals of the U.S. Open was definitely disappointing, especially with the way I was playing leading up to it,'' Agassi said. ''Obviously, it would be important for me to find a way to win on Sunday, but I've got to say that being in position to give myself that opportunity is something I also value.''Continue reading the main story

Our big announcement on the Trump-Russia scandal.
TRANSITION....According to the New York Times, the Obamas were hoping to move temporarily into Blair House before the inauguration, but it wasn't available:
The Obamas were told that they could move into Blair House on Jan. 15, but no earlier, because it is booked, an Obama transition official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity. "We explored the idea so that the girls could start school on schedule," the official said. "But there were previously scheduled events and guests that couldn't be displaced."
....White House officials said the protocol was that Blair House is available to presidents-elect starting Jan. 15, five days before the inauguration.
I'd never thought about this before, but this is sort of odd, isn't it? Wouldn't it make sense for the government to provide quarters for the president-elect starting right after the election? It doesn't have to be Blair House, though apparently it's pretty convenient since it's already inside the Secret Service's security cordon, but surely it makes sense to provide something. Maybe somebody ought to give some thought to changing this protocol in the future.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I think it's a combination of bad timing and crowds. The date is set just when it's getting hotter, just as hay fever is starting to kick in (I got my annual hay fever kick-off migraine at the finish yesterday), and too long after cross-country. And I suspect the crowds and hype just get to me - it makes it hard to concentrate and I think simply uses up too much mental energy.
So I take other races seriously and just run London for fun now.
Same with me, I've felt nauseous and fallen apart both times (like you, 2007 and yesterday).
I just think the whole thing is a bit overwhelming and that nerves get to me. I managed to pull off a PB yesterday but it was a battle.
Much as I try to tell myself that I've done all this in training and that it's totally achievable some part of me either won't listen (or can't hear above the crowds)
And Gatton - you make a great point. Yesterday there were problems on the Central Line- goodness knows how many runners had to find alternative routes - and the overground from London Bridge was packed and very slow. I got up at 5.30, to Blackheath at 8.30 and crossed the start line at just before 10 .
I guess if you don't start relaxed how can you run relaxed?

How to get a more feminine profile? (Photos)
Doctor Answers 3
Facial feminization
Based on your profile I would recommend considering a feminization rhinoplasty as well as consider some forehead work - contouring and scalp advancement. Your forehead is actually round but there is some prominence that can be contoured to represent a better, more feminine profile. I think that your chin and cheeks are perfect. Hope this helps, Best, Vartan Mardirossian MD
Facial Feminization
First, you are absolutely lovely and many women would kill for such full lips, brows and big eyes! If you want to soften your face a bit, I agree that starting with the nose will make a big change. After that I think you would be very happy, but if you wanted more change you could make small adjustments to the chin (reduce it slightly) and/or add a little more fullness to the cheeks. These do not need much change though, I would do the nose first and then see how you like it.Best of luck,
Dr Rodman
Rhinoplasty would be step one
Based on your photographs I would agree with your assessment. I think your nose has some masculine features and refining it would make a big difference in your overall appearance. Your brow and chin are also strong. Changing these would make a much smaller difference and have a more significant recovery, and your full cheeks balance these features well. Your surgeon will me able to tell you how all of these features relate to one another in a face to face consult. Bryan Rolfes, MD

Hemkt-Zeltung photo by MICHAEL DARNALL Jim Mayfield displays his 570-fooMong, hand-carved wooden chain It Keeps Growing Jim Mayfield hopes his carving project lands him in the record books By DAVID DEKUNDER Staff Writer Jim Mayfield hopes he is carving a piece of history for himself Five years ago, Mayfield decided to start carving a wooden chain out of three-foot-long dowel rods by using his trusty pocket knife. Five years later, he is still at it, and his chain is now 570-feet long. Each link in the chain also has a hand-carved wooden ball in it, which rolls back and forth. He plans to enter the potential record breaking chain in die Guinness Book of Records. M1 did this to keep my hands busy," said Mayfield from his New Braunfels home with his wife Mary. "1 need to keep going. I always need to do something with my hands." Mayfield's hands and diligence have certainly kept the chain expanding for the past few years. And Mayfield said he intends not to quit, but just keep on going. "My purpose for doing this was to see if I could do it,'' Mayfield said. "So, I started making a cage with a little ball in it and kept adding on and made a chain out of it." Mayfield said it takes him between one to two hours to carve out one section of the chain from the three-foot dowel rod. The world's longest chain is not the only thing that he has been carving, Mayfield said. "1 whittled a walnut chain which had 21 balls in it," Mayfield said. "1 carved it on a one-inch-thick board, which was six inches wide." He said he has whittled statues and small chains ever since he began woodcarving when he was in his 20s. Mayfield said his chain will be something different from other chains that have been carved in the past. "1 have seen a chain that was 1,000 feet long," Mayfield said. "But never one with balls in it It is hard to make a chain with balls in it." City attorney asks for better info on chamber tax money By ABE LEVY Staff Writer The New Braunfels city attorney recommended Wednesday that die city council require more specific budget reports in future contracts with tourism agencies. In a memo sent to all council members, city attorney Jacqueline Cullom called for more articulate wording in contracts paid for by the hotel occupancy tax, of which about 75 percent goes to the New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce. Cullom said she doesn't think the chamber is mismanaging the money, but said more specific financial reporting is needed for upcoming contract negotiations. "The budget doesn't reflect how (the chamber is) spending the money," Cullom said. "There has been some friction in the past. We could minimize those suspicions and concerns by being more clear. Anybody on the street should be able to look at the chamber's budget." Chamber President Michael Meek said the memo was politically motivated. "The way this has all come up is for political purposes. It is very suspect. The comments (in the memo) are very unusual," Meek said. Meek said he makes about $30,000 from the hotel tax contract but refused to release the breakdown of salaries for the other 12 full-time employees of 'Anybody on the street should be able to look at the chamber's budget.' — City Attorney Jacqueline Cullom the chamber. Releasing the information at this time might hurt the chamber's efforts during a possible bidding process to secure a new contract with the city, Meek said. The chamber, whose contract expires June 30, 1997, turns over a quarterly financial report to the city. It includes general budget information, but the current contract does not require the chamber to report a breakdown of specific expenses. The chamber, which received about $750,000 in 1995 from the city's hotel tax to promote tourism, has had this contract with the city since 1978. Cullom's memo was issued before Monday's council meeting when members will consider the wording of a search for bids from prospective tourism agencies. The memo warns that the council needs to write hotel tax contracts that require agencies to report such items as amendments to their budgets and office equipment. Outgoing Mayor Paul Fraser said the memo voices his concerns over the use of public money. "I'm not satisfied with the present The way this has all coma up Is for political purposes. It is vary suspect.' — Chamber President UMnfll Monk IvlVlrt Ksvi iwiwwA contracts," Fraser said. "I think it needs to be more specific. I don't dunk that's unreasonable to ask." Meek said his agency has reported its budget to the satisfaction of the council and the Texas Hotel/Motel Association, an Austin-based trade organization. "We're more than in compliance," Meek said. "We have nothing to hide." Meek estimated that 34 percent of money from the hotel tax goes toward salaries of chamber employees, while for every dollar spent, $250 is returned into the New Braunfels economy. The council, during the last regular meeting, did not renew its contract with the chamber and is considering contracting with more than one agency to promote tourism. If the council approves and issues a request for proposal, die chamber and Greater Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Comal County have said they will respond. "This is not only opening up the door for ourselves, but giving other companies a chance," said. Ron Gon-salez, chairman of die Hispanic chamber. Homeowners file in to protest appraisals By ABjELEVY Staff Writer Comal County appraisers are accepting appeals from property owners who have complaints concerning this year's appraisals. About 40 informal hearings have been conducted daily since Monday, with most people asking for explanations for the increased appraisals, Chief Appraiser Lynn Rodgers said. The appraisals were released in late April and showed an increase in the city's taxable value from $996.2 million last year to $1.12 billion this year. Appeals will be accepted until May 31 and formal hearings can be made with the five-member board of directors for the Comal Appraisal District.. To date about 40 formal appeals have been scheduled for June. Much of the overall increase in property values is from new construction which for Comal County totaled $145 million.

Mill Street, to pick up a protest form. Sisters reunited in New Braunfels after 40 years apart By DENISE DZIUK Staff Writer This newspaper is printed on recycled newsprint They searched for the family they knew was out there somewhere, and despite being in different countries an ocean apart, they found each other. Three sisters were reunited in New Braunfels recently after being separated for over 40 years. Marga Claycomb, 45 of New Braunfels, Erika Anwander, 47 from Germany, and Sheila Oliver, 43 of Missouri, were bom in Munich, Germany along with two brothers. Their mother was single, and had a very hard time. The mother kept Anwander. The rest of the children were put into foster homes or given up for adoption. The same family adopted both six-day-old Oliver and two-year-old Claycomo Clay-comb said she knew she had more family because she had a picture of Anwander and herself at a young age. "That was the only thing I had to know what Erika looked like," she said. Anwander's daughter, Sabene Petersen said her mother and grandmother wanted to look for the children. However, she said the government prohibits the mother or family We Just foil we needed this. I needed to know who I was. We've all enlarged our families. We're a family now and not just individuals.' — Marga Claycomb from searching for a child given up for adoption. "The mother is not allowed to search for her children. The same was true for (Anwander)," she said. "We knew it, but had no chance to look for them." Claycomb said Oliver wrote a letter to their mother in 1972. However, the family was not certain it was really one of the children, so did not pursue it. Claycomb said she could not give up that easily, so in September she wrote another letter, tins time to Anwander. It came back due to an incorrect address. She tried another address, and this time had more success. "I got the letter in late October, and called two days later," said Anwan der. "I didn't know what to say. I was in shock," said Claycomb. "I was so happy." Anwander's husband sent her and her daughter to the United States for two weeks to meet her sisters. Oliver was able to come to town for a lew days to meet with the third sister also. Both Anwander and Claycomb said it was "scary" yet "exciting" meeting face to face for the first time in 40 years. "(Anwander) wanted for a long time to know her sister. The day before, she was very nervous. We didn't know what it would be like," said Petersen. As the sisters' two week reunion draws to a close, they say it has been a great reunion. They have taken a lot of pictures, and intend to give their mother a framed picture of the three of them together. Claycomb said they will continue with the letters and calls, and will even try to get together again. "I've got to work very hard and save a lot of money and then go to Germany in September to see my mom for the first time," she said. Claycomb said her adoptive family has gotten smaller due to death, and she always had a longing to find out more bater* they found tach other. That (an old photo) was tho only thing I had to know what Erika looked like.' — Marga Claycomb about her biological family. She said she thinks finding them after all these years has been good for everyone. "We just felt we needed this. I needed to know who I was," said Claycomb. "We've all enlarged our families. We're a family now and not just individuals." Seeing the reunion of his mother and aunts has inspired 25-year-old Timothy Claycomb to start his own search. "After all this, I think TU go look for my dad," he said.For subscription or advertising information, call the Herald-Zeitung at 625-9144 ;

Mathew Tait's try shortly after half-time illuminated an otherwise turgid clash and ultimately proved the difference.
Jonny Wilkinson had an off-day with the boot but he landed three penalties and a late drop-goal which finally killed off a spirited Italian rally.
The Azzurri had trailed 14-6 but pushed England to the brink with four penalties from Mirco Bergamasco.
England spent long periods of the first half embroiled in turgid bouts of tactical kicking that was reflected in the 6-6 half-time score.
England finally broke the back of the Italian defence early in the second half when Ugo Monye skipped out of a tackle on halfway, shovelled the ball inside to Armitage who found Tait and the Sale centre raced clear to score the only try.
Wilkinson missed the conversion but extended England's lead to 14-6 with a penalty after Martin Castrogiovanni had been sin-binned for killing the ball.
Despite being a man down, Italy refused to concede defeat and Bergamasco struck back swiftly with another penalty after England were caught offside and Bergamasco struck another penalty to bring Italy within two points.
Calmly, England moved downfield with replacement hooker Steve Thompson creating a platform for Wilkinson to slot the drop-goal which sealed the victory.

The newly established Micro Masters Program in Human Rights from Curtin University and edX provides an opportunity to learn more about human rights concepts and how these concepts are applied on the global, regional and local level. The Micro Masters consists of three flexible Massive Open Online Courses ideal for young professionals or students who want to deepen their understanding and knowledge in the field of human rights.
What Is the Micro Masters Program?
In the Micro Masters Program in Human Rights, you'll take a total of three courses related to human rights. The Course work is at graduate level and intended for those who already have some knowledge of human rights. Upon completion, you'll receive a verified certified for a total cost of 300$.
What Classes Are Included?
The Curtin University Micro Masters Program in Human Rights includes the following three classes:
– Human Rights Theory and Philosophy. In this course, you'll learn about the universal theory of human rights and what critics have said about it over the years.
– Human Rights and Development. This course examines the connection between development and ensuring human rights for all people.
– Activity, Advocacy and Change. During this course, you will gain an in-depth understanding about how advocacy groups, movements and activists fight for human rights and affect social change.
What Is Involved in the Program?
Each of the three courses has a duration of 12 weeks and is conducted fully online. You'll need to invest about 8 to 10 hours of time per week to watch the videos, engage with the interactive exercises and study the reading materials assigned for each course. Your mastery of the course material is evaluated through the completion of quizzes, projects and papers.
What Can You Do With the Micro Masters?
While the Micro Masters Program in Human Rights does not award a degree, the classes that are included in the course of study are for-credit classes. Curtin University will allow you to apply the credits toward their master's degree program in human rights and other universities may be willing to accept the credits for a Master of Arts, Master of Social Science or Master of Laws degree.
For those who do not intend to continue on to study at the master's level, the program can improve one's chances of getting hired for careers in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors working in advocacy, public policy, mediation, community services or development.
What Are the Admission Requirements?
To be accepted to the Micro Masters Program in Human Rights, you must be fluent in English and able to verify fluency with IELTS or TOEFL test scores if you are not a native speaker. You must also have either a bachelor's degree in education, social work, law, journalism, health, arts and humanities or psychology or have a bachelor's degree in any field plus one year of work experience in a field related to human rights. Finally, you will need to pass a pre-entry assessment, which requires payment of a separate fee. The Micro Masters Program commences in January 2017 and participants can complete the course within 12 months.

NVIDIA shows off the new Tegra 4 processor
0. phoneArena 07 Jan 2013, 00:13 posted on
The new Tegra 4 will feature an amazing 72 GeForce GPU cores with 4K video support, which is about 6 times the visual processing power of the current Tegra 3. It will also feature a quad-core ARM Cortex A15 processor and a second generation battery saver core. Unlike the 40nm manufacturing process on the Tegra 3, the Tegra 4 will be at 28nm, and support PRISM 2 technology for less power used by the backlight. All of this will allow for 45% better power management and lower heat compared to the Tegra 3.
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

I want to see this processor on the Motorola Nexus X Phone
7. MeoCao (unregistered)
This beast is amazing. I think nothing at the moment comes close.
I'm sure HTC will be the 1st phone to use the chip, same as Tegra 3.
10. Captain_Doug (Posts: 1034; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
Ideally, the M7. Probably coming out too soon though. Just another of my "probably won't be fulfilled" dreams.
20. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1530; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
By the time the Motorola Nexus X phone becomes a reality, we will most likely see a quad-core Exynos A15 processor with a Mali-T658 GPU which may or may not be better than a Tegra 4 (who knows at this point?). I will hand it to nVidia for creating a stellar chipset that I hope makes it's way to, at least, tablet PCs soon. I also want to see this demo of the new Dead Trigger 2 to see how the Tegra 4 performs on graphics.
Also, I'm very excited for the nVidia Shield:
But, as usual, 2013 is going to be the year of "the king is dead, long live the king" as each new processor comes out.
38. anywherehome (Posts: 971; Member since: 13 Dec 2011)
exactly......the only sense to me: Nexus....
otherwise stick with replaceable battery with Galaxy Nexus....only this Nexus I can use as a real smartphone (navigation, internet, camera) a whole day with a spare battery...
please, Google, think a little about usefulness of any smartphone :)
47. brandonrana (Posts: 57; Member since: 04 Nov 2012)
Wow Insane.....
59. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
m7 for sure. maybe on MWC. This phone is just, insane!
69. Tegra_user (Posts: 3; Member since: 07 Jan 2013)
Noob do you even know what is GeForce core. Ever heard of Kepler,Physics, Cuda, Directx . Its funny to see Samsung fanboys worshiping nvidia.
71. HTCOE (Posts: 635; Member since: 20 Nov 2011)
Moto Nexus may be the phone to have of the year in my opinion
72. NokiaFTW (Posts: 2072; Member since: 24 Oct 2012)
Yeah , but they'll pack 16gb storage & at maximum a 2100 mAh battery 2 screw the phone up -_- !

Project Shield is what I'm most excited about...
11. dickwyn (Posts: 621; Member since: 07 May 2012)
yep, i'm super excited about it. hope the price isnt skyrocket high
15. mittalmailbox (Posts: 52; Member since: 14 Feb 2012)
i guess NVIDIA prices are affordable(taking $200 Tegra3 powered tablet) so hope for the same
26. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
haha yea you're right bro but does that mean the S4 is "crapdragon" just because something more powerful has come along? Id like to think it served its purpose and will continue to serve its purpose for a while.....Look at how successful its been by being in almost every phone AND tablet using the S4! and remember these chips are beyond what we actually "need" as of now so the tegra and exynos might be slighty better but actual usage for them may be little to none, AS OF NOW :)
3. XiphiasGladius (Posts: 813; Member since: 21 Aug 2011)
Now I badly want to see a Tegra4 vs S4Pro benchmark comparison.
8. Captain_Doug (Posts: 1034; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
I want to see the power usage. Performance wise, I'm good. I couldn't use the amount of power provided by a quad A9 processor let alone a quad A15. I want to know how well this will do in a battery test vs current processors.
12. MeoCao (unregistered)
32nm A15 dual core Exynos 5250 of Nexus 10 is on par with Pro in term of power.
This 1 is quadcore A15, 28nm technology, 72 gpu.
There's no comparison actually
14. Igneel (unregistered)
S4 pro is 6 months old already.
16. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
good break down bro.........This is the chip i been waiting for :)
but what about the quadcore Exynos 5250?
18. MeoCao (unregistered)
A15 is not light on battery so if you play games a lot it will not be good I guess, But if you mainly do the reading, surf the net then surely there's no problem.
19. MeoCao (unregistered)
5250 will be used on SS tablets possibly as it's power hungry. Tegra 4 will be used for phones mainly initially as I think they can't make a lot of them yet.
Later Tegra 4 will be used mainly for tablets, same model as Tegra 3.
21. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
what i meant was which is more powerful the "quadcore" exynos, the tegra 4, or the quadcore S4 krait?
22. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
it'll definitely be between the Tegra 4 and the Quad Exynos 5. now this is why i disliked Qualcomm in the first place. they get their SoC's out quick so they're pretty exciting until something like this comes out and completely overshadows the work that's supposed to carry them through a while longer...they've just gone back to Crapdragon status.
23. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
yet devices with it have just recently hit the market while the first commercial Tegra 4 device(s) will likely rear it's head at CES in the coming days.
25. Retro-touch (Posts: 275; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
I also saw reports of the same, A15 is crazy fast but its battery consumption is high, basically like a muscle car tons of raw power
28. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1530; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
The only quote I could find from nVidia about real-world battery power was this:
"Tegra 4 consumes up to 45 percent less power than its predecessor, Tegra 3, in common use cases. And it enables up to 14 hours of HD video playback on phones."
Now, it doesn't exactly say what the size of the battery is on the phone they used in their quote, so it's one of those "take them at their word" situations.
29. XiphiasGladius (Posts: 813; Member since: 21 Aug 2011)
Anything beyond the S4Pro chipset's performance to power consumption ratio will be awesome. I hope the Tegra4 and the Quad Exynos5 could deliver spectacular results.
30. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
i didn't mean the S4 which you're right about btw, just the Pro which has just recently started trickling out in devices like the Optimus G, the Nexus 4 and the Droid DNA. i'm afraid devices are going to be coming out very soon that these won't be able to compare to during what was supposed to be their prime. it's looking like the Sony Xperia Z may bring us the Exynos 5 Quad in just a few days to make matters worse for power junkies that just got one of the devices i mentioned.
33. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1530; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
Wait, I'm sorry I couldn't understand that last sentence...are you suggesting the Xperia Z will feature a quad-core Exynos 5 series? I haven't heard that one yet.
