HAHAHA nice one
Thats some incredibly "New Tech" stickers
Does the color of sticker changes with gear shift ?
brother cheak the atlas honda official facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/Atlas.Honda.pk
I got it from official Atlas Honda fb page. Honda CG125 wala nahi ATLAS HONDA wala
Ye sahi hay :S
Facebook pages are NEVER to be trusted man.
Atlas Honda ki apni website pe to aisa kuch bhi nahi nazar aa raha.
nope rather rpm behaviour like white.......green.........red lines
even if that pic go viral on their website i am 100% sure that this is photoshoped
Seeing people spreading this news on Facebook without any investigation and via other sources is even more amusing
And its not just limited to this bike news.
Even i can make a fake news claiming "Imran Khan ne qadiyanon ko, vote le kar, muslim qarar dene ka elan kar diya hay", spread it on facebook and then see the news go viral, viral in its true sense ... jis ka phir ilaaj bhi koi nai
Seeing people blaming our Armed Forces by listening to Geo and other effed up channels ... and then spreading it crazily over facebook is much much interesting.
Ye to phir just 1 bike hay
i get more sad when i see one idiot came up with jali hoi roti with looks like holy names or rumor like Mr.Bean converted to islam and other started to say subhanaAllah and share these , Islam teaches us not to spread any thing without any research. Beside internet i came across diffrent shopkeepers hanging pics of stone with claim that this stone was related to Miraj Miracle even Prophet Muhammad S.a.w.w fake grave's pics u can see around, i have much to say but i can only say that may Allah give all of us Hidayat
Hey guys I saw a real pic of that and it is true this color is real......believe me or not I've booked it and will get my hands on it on saturday or maybe on sunday (according to the dealer).
Most probably this will be the color
What a stupid color this is. If they want to launch it in blue then it must be like the blue of Ravi Piaggio
is that girl in post fo'reals?
Never understand these advertisements. Banda larki dekhe ya phir bike? Ya phir larki saath me dete hain?
Agar saath dete hain to phir bhi difficult choice. Dono he kharcha karati hain.
Well said.

Maybe thats the girl from ISHQ-E-Mamnu imported straight from turkey:P
Ma apke liye HYBRID larki dhundoo???Hahahah Uska kharcha kam hoga
No after sales Better import diesel

Cornerstone's Christian Radio started from a vision that the Chairman Mr Matthew Branson had, whilst worshipping at King's Church Bispham,Blackpool, UK.
It was during a service, lead by the pastor Ian scholes, who talked about thinking outside of the box, Matthew saw a vision. In neon lights the word Cornerstone was before him. Once the pastor had finished, Matthew recounts the service band played Cornerstone. With no hesitation Matthew followed the natural progression of informing the lead pastor of the church, Ann Strickland of his vision. Months of meetings later, it seemed a closed door on all Matthew had thought the vision had meant. His direction at the time was planting a soup kitchen; Matthew's back ground was full of experience from jobs including support worker, working with the homeless, social care, as well as being a professional D.J from 1987-2003. On top of that he had founded The Mustard Seed Group in Fleetwood, Lancashire. Matthew was still unsure of the direction God was taking him butaccepted the facts of he had to move out of housing the homeless and find other ways to reach people for the Lord.
After a phone call out of the blue from a Radio station owner, he had a better idea. He was wanted to present his own show, one on a Saturday and another on a Sunday. The Sunday show being called The Christian Chillout lounge. This quickly had a following of 3000 listeners in 6 months, but it wasn't until a guest from America met Matthew, Diana Hale, accompanied by pastor Stephen Hobin that big things really started to happen. That one Show was a great success but what made this night even more special, was that God spoke clearly again. The white info board for presenters had a word on it, the new password for the internet wifi. In fact it was Matthew's wife who pointed out the word to him. In big bold letters...CORNERSTONE.
Diana went back to the states but returned 3 months later to meet Matthew. This time sharing the vision of a Radio Station.
That word was prayed upon and by January 2017
Cornerstone's Christian Radio was born.

The present invention relates to orthotic devices and more particularly relates to insoles for shoes. Insoles according to the invention are of the type having foot massaging protuberances extending from one surface and when worn in a first position will massage the user's feet when walking or running and which insoles may be worn in a second, reverse position to support the insole above the shoe surface to provide air circulation.
Orthotic devices of the insole type are well known. Early insole designs generally consisted of a pad of cushioning material such as sponge rubber that had a general shape conforming to the interior shape of a shoe. Wearers suffering from foot trouble would insert the cushion into the shoe to provide added cushioning and support. Later enhancements to insoles were developed which provided some type of massage.
The following patents are representative and illustrate the development of the prior art in the field of insoles.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,139,971 to Pava shows an arch support of sponge rubber which is curved to the shape of the foot and has radially spaced ridges under its central region.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,757,774 discloses a novel sandal which is claimed to improve the health of the body and feet having projections provided on the upper and lower surface to stimulate the sole of the foot to facilitate circulation during walking.
Other later patents show massaging insoles. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,047,310 shows a podiatric device molded to the contour of the planar surface of the foot having a plurality of uniformly distributed rigid studs extending upwardly.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,033,054 shows footwear having pressure projections which are positioned to pressure or stimulate effective spots of the foot. The pressure projections each have a magnet for applying a magnetic field to the areas.
A number of patents relating to footwear and specifically massaging type insoles, position massaging cushions or protuberances in areas corresponding to the reflex zones of the foot. U.S. Pat. No. 4,694,831 discloses footwear with an inner sole having upwardly projecting support platforms with foot stimulating dome-shaped bumps on areas not occupied by the platforms. The patentee claims an accupressure application occurs when walking that is capable of effectively massaging the soles of the feet to stimulate appropriate meridians to enhance and normalize circulation.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,760,655 shows an insole having on its upper surface in the region of the foot's reflex zones, flat and somewhat lenticular resilient massaging cushions made of latex rubber which correspond in contour and extent to the respective reflex zone to be stimulated.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,841,647 issued to Sandor Turucz shows shoe insoles having convex protuberances extending from the base of the insoles for providing a rhythmic pressure and massaging action on the soles of the feet during walking. The base is a resilient or spongy material and the protuberances are somewhat more firm so that during walking the protuberances will sink into the base and extend from the base on the lifting portion of the walking gait. The protuberances have geometric forms and are disposed on the base so as to massage certain zones of the soles of the wearer's feet to simulate an accupressure massage. The present invention particularly represents an improvement to the Turucz-type insole.
Thus, while insoles designed to apply massaging in accordance with the ancient technique of reflexology are well known, there nevertheless exists a need for an improved insole of the type which will provide the massage in accordance with reflexology or accupressure techniques if desired by the user and may also be used as a conventional cushioning insole providing good air circulation.
Reflexology or accupressure is an ancient technique involving massaging of strategic points on the soles of the feet. An essential or underlying principle of reflexology is that various organs or muscles of the body are connected by a network of nerves to certain spots or zones on the sole of the feet. Massage applied to these spots or areas promotes circulation of blood flow to the target organ. Additionally, it is theorized that there are channels of energy flowing through the body and that this energy terminates at these strategic spots in the feet.
Accordingly, it is believed that massaging these various strategic zones of the foot results in a revitalization of energy of the person and reflex theory suggests that massaging action unobstructs the flow of energy through these energy channels or passageways. Whether or not one accepts reflexology theory, it is known that massage applied to specific locations of the feet does result in relaxation of the body and that cushioning insoles placed in footwear will reduce fatigue, increase comfort and give the wearer greater endurance.
Briefly, in accordance with the present invention, insoles are provided having protuberances or projections disposed on one insole surface which are relatively firm but also have some resiliency. The protuberances extend from a resilient insole base having moisture-absorbing fabric on both sides. The base has the peripheral shape of the foot. The insoles may be worn in one of two positions: (1) the comfort position; and (2) the massaging position. In the massaging position, with the protuberances oriented upwardly, the insole functions to provide the healthful massage described above. With the protuberances oriented downwardly in the comfort position, the protuberances function as shock absorbers for the insole which with the insole and protuberances working together, provide a comfortable cushion for the wearer. Also, in the comfort position the protuberances and insole base serve to establish a beneficial air flow through apertures in the insole and around its periphery.
The protuberances are located to correspond to areas or zones which are associated with the various organs of the body according to reflexology theory so that healthful accupressure and massaging occurs. The relative firmness of the protuberances in relation to the resiliency of the cushioning effect of the insole base are selected so that the protuberances will depress into the insole as walking occurs. This promotes massage and avoids any uncomfortable sensation being transmitted to the wearer.
In a preferred embodiment, the insole cushioning material and protuberances are formed from resilient material such as rubber, expanded foam or cellular molded rubber (CMR). The opposite surfaces of the insole base are covered by a moisture-absorbing fabric material which is laminated to the cushioning material. A representation of a reflexology chart may be graphically provided on one surface of the insole.
In other embodiments, the insole may be provided with notches around the periphery and apertures extending through the insole to further provide circulating air flow. A gel-like fluid may be contained within the protuberances to enhance the massaging and cushioning effect.
In still another embodiment, the insole is provided in a kit form with detachable and attachable protuberances of various shapes which may be selectively secured at desired locations by the user. The method of attachment may be in the form of adhesives or frictional engagement.
In still another embodiment, a plurality of protuberances may be provided on the substrate conforming to a section of the insole such as the toe portion, the heel portion or the metatarsal portion which section may then be selectively attached to the insole surface as desired by the user.
The insoles may also be formed as part of the footwear surface but preferably are insertable insoles which can be used with more than one pair of shoes and which facilitate reversible positioning as described above.
The location and arrangement of the protuberances although corresponding to the reflex zone, may be varied in accordance with the requirements of the user.
The above and other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a planar view of the insole of the present invention looking at the surface of the insole carrying the massaging protuberances;
FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view taken along line 2--2 of FIG. 1;
FIGS. 3 and 4 are pictorial views representing the method of making the insole;
FIG. 5 is a planar view of a pair of insoles as viewed from the side bearing the protuberances and further carrying a graphic representation of the wearer's feet and illustrating the representative massage therapy zones;

FIG. 7 is a view similar to FIG. 6 but with the insole reversed with the protuberances oriented toward the footwear surface;
FIG. 8 is a partial plan view of the toe portion of an insole having both apertures and peripheral serrations which facilitate air flow;
FIG. 9 is a cross sectional view of an alternate form of the protuberances filled with a shock-absorbing gel or fluid;
FIG. 10 is a perspective view of a protuberance that is selectively attachable to the insole;
FIG. 11 is a partial cross sectional view of the insole showing the protuberance of FIG. 10 inserted into an aperture in the insole;
FIG. 12 is a partial perspective view of a portion of an insole showing a protuberance attachable by means of a loop and hook fastener;
FIG. 13 is a perspective view of a selectively attachable protuberance having an adhesive surface covered by removable, peelable cover;
FIG. 14 is a partial sectional view of an insole showing the protuberance of FIG. 13 secured thereto;
FIG. 15 is a plan view illustrating the protuberance carrying sections which may be selectively attached to an insole;
FIG. 16 is a plan view illustrating a universal or one-size-fits-all insole which may be trimmed to the physical requirements of the wearer,
Turning now to the drawings, the insole of the present invention as seen in FIGS. 1, 2 and 5 to 7 is generally represented by the numeral 10 and has a curved toe portion 12, heel portion 14, medial arch portion 16 and lateral edge portion 18. As viewed in plan view, the insole has the shape of a human foot and the insoles would normally be sold in pairs having a companion 10A as seen in FIG. 5. Typically, the insoles would be sized corresponding to shoe sizes and provided in sized pairs, although a later embodiment of the present invention as seen in FIG. 15 relates to a universal insole which may be trimmed to the requirements of the user.
The insole, as seen in cross section in FIG. 2, has a laminate construction with an intermediate base insole 20 of a resilient elastomeric material. Examples of such elastomeric materials include polyethylene, polyurethane, latex or rubber. One particularly suitable rubber material is known as CMR which is an abbreviation for cellular molded foam rubber.
A plurality of spaced projections or protuberances 22, 22A, 22B, 22C and 22D project from one surface 24 of the base. The opposite surface 25 of the base 20 is essentially planar.
The protuberances 22, 22A, 22B, 22C, 22D have different shapes and may be variously arranged on the surface 74 of the base so as to correspond to selected areas corresponding to the desired reflex area or zone of the foot. For example, in FIG. 5 the surfaces of insoles 10 and 10A are shown with the map or outline of a foot 28 superimposed on the insole and with various selected reflex areas indicated. According to the reflex theory, massage of selected areas of the foot will relax the body and will have a beneficial effect and the well-being of certain organs. As seen in FIG. 5, the various foot areas according to reflex theory have been selectively labeled indicating their connection by nerves or energy channels to the indicated organs.
Protuberances 22 are shown as being generally elliptical and are positioned beneath the ball of the foot on an area of the insole corresponding to the zone marked "lungs". Additional elongate protuberances 22A, 22B and 22C are located in the intermediate insole area corresponding to zones indicated by such organs as the stomach, liver and the like. On the heel section of the insole, additional elliptical protuberances 22D are located in zones which correspond to lower back and small intestine zones.
The particular configuration of the protuberances may vary and they may be symmetrical such as elliptical or circular when viewed in plan view or may be elongate such as those indicated by the numerals 22B, 22C. The cross sectional configuration of the protuberances, as seen in FIG. 2, is generally convex or lenticular. The specific location of the protuberances, the geometrical array and the disposition as to length and width may vary and is selected to conform to zones of the sole map to provide the desired massaging actions to the particular zones.
Preferably the protuberances 22, 22A, etc. have a density greater than the density of the layer 20. In this way, when a pressure is applied to the insole, the protuberances will tend to be depressed into the intermediate base laminate. When the weight or force is removed, the protuberances being resilient and having memory will return to their original shape and position. For example, a preferred range of density for the base 25 is 45 to 85 Shore Hardness and a preferred range for the protuberances is 60 to 90 Shore Hardness.
Surface 24 of the cushioning laminate 20 is covered with a fabric layer material 32 having die cut apertures or openings 38 at predetermined locations to accommodate the protuberances 22 to 22D. The openings are pre-cut conforming to the size and location of the protuberances. The layer of fabric material 32 is for the comfort of the user providing a soft, dry and cool surface against the foot. Various natural and synthetic fabric materials may be used. One particularly suitable material is a laminate structure of polyester and hydrofilled nylon which absorbs foot perforation. A material of this type is sold under the trademark "Drilex" and is manufactured by Faytex of Weymouth, Mass. Another suitable material is Neoprene. A fabric layer 34 having characteristics the same or similar to that of fabric layer 32 is applied and bonded to the planar surface of the resilient laminate.
FIGS. 2 through 4 illustrate the method of making the insole according to the present invention. As seen in FIG. 3, the insole is initially assembled in a composite laminate structure with the exterior fabric layers 32 and 34 positioned on either side of a sheet or blank of the resilient material 20. Molding of an insole or a sheet from which a plurality of insoles may later may be die cut is accomplished by molds having sections 40 and 50. The mold section 40 has a cavity area 45 which defines a plurality of recess areas 48 which conform to the desired shape and location of the protuberances in the finished insole. Lower mold section 50 has a planar surface 52. When in a closed position, the peripheral parting surfaces of the mold are brought into intimate contact so that the material positioned in the mold cavity is compressed. A blank of resilient material such as CMR having an approximate thickness of 1/4" is positioned in the mold cavity arranged between opposite layers of fabric material 32 and 34. A bonding material such as a foam adhesive may be applied intermediate the resilient and fabric layers so that the layers may be flame laminated as is known in the molding and adhesive arts. The cut-outs 38 in the fabric layer 32 are aligned or register with the various recesses 48. Upon closing of the mold under application of pressure such as hydraulic pressure, the resilient material is generally compressed causing the fabric layers to bond to the opposite surfaces of the resilient material 20 and the foam dissipates. Further, the intermediate resilient material is compressed causing the material to be forced into the various recesses 48 in the cavity forming the protuberances. The protuberances have a density somewhat greater than the density of the planar section of the resilient material. The closed mold containing the materials of the insole may be heated in any convenient manner such as an air-heated oven.
Typically heating is conducted so the material is elevated to a temperature of about 250� to 500� for about one to twenty minutes. After cooling and release of pressure, the article is removed from the mold and can be finished by trimming to the desired shape by die cutting or other conventional techniques.
Further, as seen in FIG. 1, the insole is preferably provided with a plurality of randomly spaced apertures or holes 60 which extend entirely through the insole. The purpose of these holes is to promote a circulating flow of air when the insole is worn in the shoe. Circulation of air will facilitate drying of the fabric surface layers of the insole and will also maintain the user's foot in a cooler condition. The holes 60 may be punched in the insole after molding.
A significant advantage of the insole according to the present invention is that it may be worn in one of two use positions or modes. In one position, termed the massaging mode or position, the protuberances 22 are oriented upwardly as seen in FIG. 6. In the massaging mode the protuberances engage selected areas on the underside of the wearer's foot and the surface 34 contacts the shoe sole 55. The action of walking or running creates a rhythmic, localized pressure on the soles of the feet at zones associated with particular organs.
As seen in FIG. 7, the insole 10 may be positioned in a shoe in the reverse position with the generally planar surface 25 oriented upwardly and disposed against the planar surface of the foot. As seen in FIG. 7, the protuberances now project downwardly engaging the sole 55 of the shoe elevating the insole above the shoe surface facilitating a flow of cooling and drying air around the protuberances and through the apertures 60. The normal walking or running motion will continually flex the insole creating a pumping action increasing the air flow for the comfort of the wearer.
In FIG. 8, a modification of the insole is shown in which the peripheral edge of the insole is provided with a plurality of spaced-apart serrations or indentations 70 in addition to apertures 60. In reference to this embodiment and other embodiments, the same or similar reference numerals are used to identify the same or similar elements. The addition of the peripheral serrations 70 will further facilitate a flow of air in the comfort mode as air will more easily circulate from the upper to lower surface at the peripheral edge of the insole which flow of air might otherwise be impeded at the interior shoe surface.
FIG. 9 is a cross sectional view of another alternate construction in which the insole is again formed having an intermediate resilient layer positioned between oppositely disposed fabric layers 32, 34 which when compressed together form a composite laminate structure. A plurality of protuberances 22 extend from the insole at areas or zones corresponding to selected reflex zones.
The individual protuberances may be of various shapes, size and location as explained above. In FIG. 9, the protuberance 22 is shown as being generally convex having a semi-spherical or semi-elliptical shape. A cavity 90 is defined within at least selected protuberances, the cavity is hollow and is filled with a suitable viscous gel-like fluid such as silicone. The fluid may be injected into the cavity or contained within its own flexible pouch. The resiliency of the insole and the resiliency of the protuberances along with the effect of the viscous fluid all contribute to a comfortable and effective massaging effect. As an alternative, the cavities 90 may be formed as air pockets to provide the desired resiliency.
In the preceding embodiments, the protuberances 22, 22A, etc. were integrally formed as part of the insole, however, these protuberances may be separately formed and selectively attached to the insole as desired by the user. In FIGS. 10 and 11 a selectively attachable protuberance is shown. In FIG. 10 the protuberance is indicated by the numeral 122 and has a dome-shaped body 125 having a curved upper surface 126 and a generally planar lower surface 128. A short stem 130 projects from the planar surface at a central location having a length generally corresponding to the thickness of the insole component. The insole base component 20 consists of resilient material which may be provided with moisture-absorbing fabric layers bonded to the opposite surfaces. The protuberance 122 may be selectively attached at the desired location on the insole by inserting the protuberance into a selected aperture 60. Since the insole is resilient, it will deflect to accept insertion of the stem and passage of the flange 132. Once inserted, the flange 132 will assume a position engaging the surface of the insole opposite the protuberance so as to retain the protuberance in place. Generally a user would position the protuberances in accordance with the reflex areas or zones as shown in FIG. 5. The selectively positionable protuberances may be variously configured as previously described.
In FIG. 12, another embodiment of the present invention is shown again having the insole base substrate 20 of resilient material oppositely covered with moisture-absorbing fabric layers 32 and 34. Selected areas of the surface of fabric covering 32 are provided with sections 220 of a portion of a loop and hook fabric fastener. Alternatively, the fabric covering 32 may be woven and have the characteristics of one portion of a loop and hook fastener. The protuberance 222 which again may be any desired configuration but is shown as being dome shaped having a section of fastener material 225 on its lower surface to facilitate selective positioning on the insole base.
Referring to FIGS. 13 and 14, the lower planar surface of the dome-like protuberance 322 is coated with a suitable adhesive 324. The adhesive is covered by a peelable backing 325 having a tab 326. The user then selects the appropriately shaped protuberance 324 and position it on a surface of the base insole 20 by removing the peelable backing and adhering the protuberance to the insole surface. The user can refer to the graphically represented reflex zone imprinted on a surface of the insole to assist in selecting the appropriate and desired location of the protuberance in order to achieve a massaging effect in a desired area.
In FIG. 15 the insole is shown having a pre-cut base 20 of resilient material such as CMR in the desired size and in the general outline shape of the foot. With this embodiment, the user is provided with a plurality of sections 402, 404, 406, 408, 410 and 412 which consists of a base of fabric material such as Drilex fabric having attached or bonded to a surface projections 22, 22A, etc. in various shapes and arrangements. The sections 402 to 412 correspond in shape, for example, to the toe portion, the intermediate arch portion and the heel portion of the insole. Preferably the individual sections are provided with an adhesive backing having a peelable cover similar to that shown in FIG. 13. The user then selects the desired combinations of heel, toe and arch sections and applies them to the insole substrate by removing the peelable backing and pressing the sections to the corresponding portion of the insole.
Turning to FIG. 16, a representation of the insole 10 is shown which may be universally sized and trimmed to fit by the user. The insole has a peripheral shape conforming to the shape of the human foot having arcuate toe section 512, heel sections 514 and a convergent medial arch section 516. The insole is constructed as has been described above having a base of suitable resilient material such as latex, CMR, or polymeric foam, preferably provided with a fabric, moisture-absorbing layer on either side. A number of resilient protuberances 22, 22A, etc. are provided at selected locations which preferably correspond to selected reflex zones of the foot. A graphic may be imprinted on a surface of the insole to indicate these various reflex zones.
Patterns 520 and 522 are representative of various sizes of the human foot are also represented on the insole base. For example, the first continuous pattern 520 is representative of a smaller size insole, as for example a man's small. A second continuous pattern line 522 extends around the periphery of the insole indicative of another size of insole, as for example a man's medium. The outer periphery of the insole is sized corresponding, for example, to a man's large insole. If the user requires a size other than the large sizes indicated, the wearer using the printed pattern lines on the insole trims the insole with a scissors or cutting instrument to the proper size. The trim lines may be imprinted by conventional printing techniques, silkscreening and the like. As an alternative, the print lines may also be perforated at 530 having 1/16" perforations so that the smaller size insole may be separated by tearing along the appropriate trim lines which tearing operation is facilitated by the inclusion of perforations.
As discussed at length above, the protuberances provide the various embodiments of the insole of the present invention and preferably are located in areas corresponding to the reflex zones. The protuberances massage the wearer's feet while walking or running to stimulate the tissues of the sole of the foot and increase the blood supply to the tissues. A significant advantage of the present invention is that the insole may be worn in the massaging mode with the protuberances engaging the planar surface of the wearer's foot or may be reversed and in which case would be worn as a more conventional comfort cushioning insole. In the comfort mode, air circulation is promoted by the elevating of the insole above the shoe surface by reason of the protuberances. Thus, the protuberances serve two important functions depending on the mode in which insole is worn. The present invention also facilitates customizing the insole to the size and massage requirements of the particular wearer.
While the principles of the invention have been made clear in the illustrative embodiments set forth above, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art to make various modifications to the structure, arrangement, proportion, elements, materials and components used in the unique insole described herein. To the extent that these various modifications do not depart from the spirit and scope of the appended claims, they are intended to be encompassed therein.

CERN sees Antimatter Spectrum for first time in history
For every particle of normal matter, there is an antimatter counterpart with the same mass but the opposite electrical charge. When a particle meets its antiparticle, they annihilate each other, giving off a burst of energy.

Injectable Fillers for Facial Rejuvenation
Our face is our identity; from passport to driving license and from beauty pageant to wedding – anywhere you go, your face is an intrinsic part of your personality. Though we all say that real beauty lies within, the fact is we like to see beautiful faces around us. So, taking good care of your face becomes essential not only for those around you, but for your own self as well since it gives you confidence and a positive attitude. As part of the natural process of aging, your face will lose its natural glory and freshness. So it becomes more important to take good care of your face as you get old. Injectable fillers for facial rejuvenation are a great option if you want to bring back the youthful glow to your skin. Usually, these injections are provided in the nasal-labial folds, lips, marionette lines, the glabella, cheeks and tear trough. They will bring about a younger appearance for the face. Models, actors and showbiz professionals often undergo such treatment with injectable dermal fillers in order to retain their facial beauty and augment their skin's glow. Apart from celebrities, common men and women also take advantage of such treatment. The results can be temporary or permanent, depending on the dose of the fillers and the area where it is given.
http://www.drseanboutros.com 713-791-0700
Some Facts to Know about Facial Injectable Fillers • These fillers can be made of collagen, which works as the natural substance for providing a youthful look and glow to the skin. These are popularly used in injectable cosmetic wrinkle treatment by professional cosmetic surgeons. Fine lines as well as wrinkles can be treated with these kinds of fillers. These injections provide extremely good results. Permanent results are obtained with minimum risk. • Apart from collagen, there are other types of injectable fillers used to perform facial treatments. Hyaluronic acid injectables such as Restylane provide good results that last for six to nine months. After this, re-injections may be required to maintain the results. These injections are affordable and safe. Hyaluronic acid injectable fillers bind water inside the skin and keep the skin hydrated, thus getting rid of dry and dull skin.
Injectable Cosmetic Wrinkle Treatment – the Procedure A small amount of anesthetic cream/local anesthetic is applied on the treatment area. This is to prevent any kind of discomfort to the patient. Then the injections are given. You may notice mild swelling for a day, after which the expected attractive results can be seen. When considering injectable fillers for facial rejuvenation, make sure that you have the procedure done by a reputable and experienced plastic surgeon.

Jane Doyle - FiveAA
From the opening strains of "I'll Shoot the Moon" to the final frenzy of Charlston-esque dance, Cantina is a near perfect piece of entertainment.
The four male and two female performers are at once acrobats, musicians, story tellers and provocateurs. Their skills, whether on tightrope, broken glass or tiny acrobatic platform or as good as any you'll see.
But this is so much more than a human circus act. Great thought has gone into crafting a themed performance, framed by an evocative early 20th century soundscape and fleshed out by artful choreography and costumes faithful to a bygone era.
There's humour, wit and style in every detail and even some dark undertones of sadomasochism as the various stars strut their stuff in spectacular fashion.
There is something deeply pleasurable about seeing a show a second time and enjoying it even more than the first. Cantina debuted in the Garden last year to great acclaim and has been wowing overseas audiences ever since. You shouldn't miss its 2012 Adelaide bloom.

the Digital Archaeological Record (tDAR) and Digital Antiquity
(Kintigh and Pierce-McManamon, lead)
The LTVTP is a key component of a project known as IHOPE (Integrated History [and Future] of People on Earth (Costanza et al. 2007), which is sponsored by the International Human Dimensions Programme and supported by the Resilience Alliance. The overarching goals of IHOPE are to map an integrated record of biophysical and human change on earth over the last several millennia, develop and test models with this integrated history, and develop policy recommendations. To this end, IHOPE is assembling a massive transdisciplinary database of historical and environmental processes in different parts of the world, including the LTVTP in the Southwest and Northwest Mexico, the ARCHAEOMEDES archaeo-ecological dataset from southern Europe (van der Leeuw 1998, 2005) and ongoing work on the Maya. The synthetic data available on this website are representative of the LTVTP's presence on IHOPE. Eventually, the IHOPE database will provide in-depth yet synthetic understandings that allow researchers from different disciplines to integrate and compare information from a variety of cases.
MimPIDD and timelines project
(Hegmon, lead)
The Legacies on the Landscape project is a collaborative effort by archaeologists and ecologists at Arizona State University to investigate the legacy of prehistoric human land use on the mesas of Agua Fria National Monument north of the Phoenix Basin. The goal of the project is to build theory about what types of human disturbances leave legacies over different time scales, and gain insights into the ways that today's actions can affect future ecological systems. The project is headed by archaeologists Katherine A. Spielmann and ecologists Sharon J. Hall.

Change is Hard: The Challenges of Path Dependence
The LTVTP is linked to a transdisciplinary project called Change is Hard: The Challenges of Path Dependence, which is part of the Late Lessons for Early History transdisciplinary program in SHESC. Change is Hard brings together a transdisciplinary group of scholars who are investigating historical trajectories at different scales across the greater Phoenix area, seeking lessons and policy implications from the recent, historical, and ancient past. Given a particular configuration (whether of contemporary Phoenix or the Hohokam Classic), the research asks "How did we get here," with focus on the overall trajectory and particularly on critical junctures, times when certain decisions set the course that affected generations to follow. The link between LTVTP and Change is Hard mostly involves Hohokam research. In particular, Hegmon and others are investigating the labor involved in the start-up of the major canal systems, to understand when and how the trajectory developed momentum. The other faculty leading Change is Hard are Bob Bolin, Jameson Wetmore, and Abigail York.

' SIGN HOL ER AND Pos'r THEREFOR Frank Hesse,Hackensack, N. J. Application March 2, 19i 9',.se ri mo. 79,163
' My invention supplies a long existing need for a simple, sturdy and portable device for the interchangeable display of card board or similar signs out of doors. It is necessary or desirable that many types of business, such, for a few examples only, as real estate agents,'contractors, artisans, municipalities, nurserymen, and many others have weather proof means which may be readily installed in the ground to display any one of a plurality of different interchangeable signs and then be easily removed and put to use in new locations. My invention meets such needs. In its essence it'consists of a flat plate which is supported upon or formed integrally with a sharpened post preferably supplied with a cross bar which renders easy its insertion in the: ground and supports it more firmly therein. This plate, for which in practiceI have found aluminum and various non-rustingsteel alloys very satisfactory, is preferably but not necessarily rectangular. Each'of three of the edges is turned in the same direction as the other two, first at right angles to the body of the plate and then again at right angles and toward each other and parallel to the plane of the plate, thereby forming a holding slide or. groove. A fourth edge is turned only at right-angles to this main surface and in the same directionas that in which the other edges are turned thereby form-.- ing a retaining flange. If a plate is used which is not rectangular, two edges embodying slides are disposed opposite to each other.
. An important feature of'this invention is that two of the corners of the plate, each disposed between an end of the retaining flange and an Claims. (01.40-17) area.
- whole.
For example, a real estate dealer using my invention will drive the post of one of my holders into the ground, preferably by the simple expedient of standing upon a cross bar which preferably is provided thereon, before a house adjacent end of a slide, are cutoff-so as to form convenient finger holds by means of which a user can readily pull out an edge of a card board sign which has been inserted within the sleeves, lift it up over the edge-of the retaining flange, thereby bending it slightly, and then pull it out, all in a matter of seconds and all without injury to the cardboard sign which has been thus used and is available for re-use. Insertion of a fresh sign is equally simple. A user merely places the leading edge of the sign in the ends of, the-slide nearer the flange with the body of the sign resting on the edge of the retaining flange and slides it into place, the resilience of the cardboard causing the trailing end when released to find its place parallel to the plate .and just within the fourth or retaining flange.
One characteristic of my invention is that the plane surface of the body of the holder and the which has been listed by him for sale. He will then insert a for sale sign simply by pushing it into the slides and letting it snap into position when its trailing edge has cleared the right angled or retaining flange. Then when the house has been sold he places his fingers back of the sign in the'opening conveniently provided therefore, pushes the edge away from the plate sufficiently to clear the right angled flange, and pulls the sign out. Then he inserts another sign, for example reading sold. If the new owner wishes to lease the dwelling instead of living in it the real estate agent thereupon takes out the sold sign and inserts a for rent placard. When the rental has been efiectuated he removes that sign and substitutes one which says rented. Such examples might be indefinitely multiplied.
The alternative to the use of my invention is to nail a sign to a tree, post or structure, often damaging such a support, violating municipal ordinances, and rendering the sign unfit for further use. Or, a person who wishes to post a notice of this kind may go to the relatively great trouble and expense and take the time necessary to set a post. In either such case, often the sign is not properly displayed because of the shape of the support or he must meet the added cost in money and annoyance of first attaching a board to the post. My invention is a cheap, efiicient and simple susbtitute.
' Another use to which my invention is well adapted is for relatively small signs or labels for use in gardens, nurseries and the like or other places in whichit is desirable to place signs, labels or other descriptive matter adjacent trees, shrubs or flowers, with opportunity to make changes from time to time, and to use the same 'insertable cards are of substantially. thesarne u holders in different locations. In such cases I may prefer to form my holder, which is relative- 1y small in size, out of a single piece of metal. Thus I obtain a structure which is both economical and inexpensive. There is no material difference in construction except that for such use the portion of the lower slide is omitted adjacent the area of the plate from which the post projects downwardly from the body of the holder. This 'omisjsiefi is unimportant so far as the operation of the holder is concerned but per mits the entire structure to be cheaply stamped from one piece of sheet metal without welding or riveting. Generally but not necessarily it is desirable to omit the cross baisince this s'friall structure can readily be pushed into ground of ordinary consistency by merely grasping it at the top. Or such a holder my be made of weather-proof plastic.
permits such normal movement but prevents movement in a plane parallel to the plate but permits movement away from the display position in a plane closely parallel to that of the plate after the edge of the sign has been raised to clear the flange. An important feature of my invention is that the corners of the plate are cut off diagonally at 21 and 28 and the slides not ex tended to a jiifietion with the retaining flange.
' 3;? reason as the above assented construction it will be seen that a user may readily grasp one or a trailing edge of a card and push it into place. The leading portion of the side edges of the card passes into slides 2i and 22 as the card is pushed towar'e'il its final position and at the last stage of 2 3. The thereupon releases the trailing edge Among the objects of this invention is the pro- I vision of a device such as outlined above and described at length hereinafter. Other objects, advantages and characteristics will be evident from the following portion of this specification, the acccmpanying drawings and the sub-joined claims Although I am showing a preferred form only of my invention for purposes of illustration it will be understood that changes can readily be made without departing from the scope ofmy broader claims or the spirit of my invention.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a front elevational view of my invention. I,
Figure 2 is a partial isometric view with a re. movable card in position. u
Figure 3 corresponds to Figure 2 but shows a user removing a card preparatory to the intro duction of afresh card.
Figure 4 shows a modificationwherein my sign, generally of relatively small size, is made from one piece of metal (or alternatively from a plastic). 7 v V H g A card or sign holding flat plate I l preferably formed of metal such as aluminum or a nona-rust ing steel alloy is supported by a post or stake v1A having a sharpened point 13 and a cross bar I4 In order to increase its strength and solidity when forced into the ground this post in cross section may be. either T-shaped or right angled, such rearward projection from the front flat surface not being shown. It is riveted or welded to the card holding plate or for certain uses as stated above may be formed integrally therewith. See
Figure 4. I
The edges of plate II are turned over to form an upper holding groove or slide 2 I, a lower hold ing slide 22 and a side holding slide 23. It will be noted from the drawing that each of these slides includes a first surface which projects directly away from the body of the holding plate vI I. at right angles thereto and in the same direction as the other slides and then a second surface .which is turned back upon itself. toward the other slides at right angles to the first surface and in aplane parallel to that of the holding plate so that they form holding instrumentalities or slides into which a plate board card or sign such as 23 may readily be inserted. A fourth edge 26, however, is turned only at right angles from the plane of the card holder itself to form a retaining flange. Thus the first mentioned formation form slides which guide a card or other sign in a moveiiient substantially parallel to the plane or the plate within the limits of the area of thplate while preventing its movmfitih a direction rigrifiai thereto while the rest ifih'ti'ohed retaining sense of the card and its natural resilience under normal conditions immediately snaps it completely into place. Otherwise he may merely push i t into place against the plane of the plate ll Then when he wishes to remove the sign to substitute a new signhe merely grasps the one previously on display by the upper and lower P corners as clearly shown in Figure 3, making use of the cut-off cornersjfl and 2 3 lifts it or pushes it above the limits of flange 26 and pulls it out, the edges sliding along in grooves 2 and 22. Q
N The construction ofFigure 4. will be clear from the preceding portion of this description. 7 th m di 1 m ive tiqnv e dii' r tion comprises aflat carjd holdingplate 4i) and a support or post formation with a point 42 and a right-angled extension 43 to give rigidity and better holding quality in the ground. The plate is formed with parallel slides 44 and 45, an end slide or groove 46 and retaining flange 4! turned therefrom as previously described. A difference from the previgusly described structure is that thelower slide is broken as at 33 adjacent the junction ofthe post formation and the plate so that the holder may be readily stamped from one sheet, without welding or other joining. Such one-piece construction is a feature of this embodiment of my invention. A cross bar such as 14 may be addedif desired. The corners of the plate are cut off at 50 and 5] for the purposes previously stated; Alternatively this holder may be cast or moulded from a Weather resistant plas= tic material.
For purposes of illustration I have shown my sign holder as rectangular but it may take other shapes as desired; While a rectangular form is most {ambient "and simple, other shaped holders of iithe'r and more five-rams may be made within the seeite 5f irivmien. The shape rhiist be sagh; however, as to include espositiy disposed sli' s;

The advantages of invention will have been apparent from the oregoing screen at this specification and consideration of the attached rawings and the subjoind claims. They include the provision of a simple, inexpensive holder which may readily be inserted into the grounder other substance wmchmay readily be piercedand removed therefrtm er otherwise supported into which a sig'zieasili may be inserted and remcvea;
I claim:
1. In a sign holder adapted for outdoor use, a generally rectangular solid plate, slides along three of the edges thereof for the reception of the edges of a card sign, the ends of said slides adjacent each other being substantially contiguous, a right angled flange along the fourth edge, said right angled flange and said relatively adjacent slides terminating at a relatively short distance from each other, the corners of said plate between the relatively adjacent ends of said flange and said slide being cut oil diagonally to permit a user to push the card sign away from the plane of said plate in a direction normal thereto, said substantially continuous arrangement of slides and flange and said solid plate minimizing the effect of wind and other weather conditions upon said card sign.
2. In a sign holder adapted for outdoor use for the interchangeable reception of card signs, a plate with a solid back with one edge cut off at each corner and of suflicient size only to permit a user to grasp corners of a card sign, a right angled flange extending between said out off corners along said edge, and slides along the remaining and opposite edges of said plate which extend to said out off corners and substantially to junctions with each other at their relatively adjacent ends, said slides being adapted for the reception of the edges of a card sign which is retained against movement directly parallel to said plate by said flange.
3. In a sign holder adapted for outdoor use, a plate with a solid back and with one edge cut off at each corner, a right angled flange integral with said plate and extending along said edge between said corners and substantially co-extensive with said edge, slides along the remaining and opposite edges of said plate which extend to said out off corners and form a substantially continuous sleeve co-extensive with the three edges adjacent thereto for the reception of the edges of a card sign, and a post extending from one of said edges for supporting said holder in the ground.
4. A sign holder and a supporting formation therefor comprising a single sheet of metal, said sheet including a generally rectangular plate, a retaining flange projecting at right angles from one edge of said plate, slides along other and adjacent edges of said plate, said slides each comprising a first surface extending from said plate at right angles to the plane thereof and parallel to the projecting surface of said flange and a second surface extending from said first surface at right angles thereto and toward the interior of said plate and parallel to the plane thereof, and a post or supporting formation extending from one edge of said plate whereby said plate may be inserted in the ground, said slide which projects from said edge of said plate from which said formation extends being broken away from that portion of said edge immediately adjacent said post formation so that said holder including said support or post formation may be formed in a single operation.
5. A sign holder and support formation therefor comprising an integral structure, said structure including a sign-supportin plate with two relatively adjacent corners cut oif, such cut off portions being only large enough to permit fingers of a hand to grasp a card placed on said sign-supporting plate, a retaining flange projecting at right angles from said edge of said plate and extending between said cut-off corners, said flange being integral with said plate, slides along other and opposite edges of said plate which also extend to said out off corners, said slides each comprising a first surface extending from said plate at right angles to the plane thereof and parallel to the projecting surface of said flange and a second surface extending from said first surface at right angles thereto and toward the interior of said plate parallel to the plane thereof, said slides also being integral with said plate, whereby a user may move a sign of sub stantially the area of said plate which has been slipped within said slides away from said plate in a direction normal to the plane thereof so that it clears the top edge of said retaining flange preparatory to its removal from said holder, and a post or support formation extending from said plate and integral therewith whereby said plate may be inserted in the ground.
6. In a sign holder adapted for outdoor use, a generally rectangular plate with a solid back surface, slides integral therewith along three of the edges thereof for the reception of a card sign, said slides at their adjacent ends substantially meeting thereby forming a substantially continuous retaining formation for engaging three of the edges of a card sign, open ends of said formation being disposed adjacent each end of the other or fourth edge of said plate, a right angled flange integral with said plate disposed along said fourth edge and substantially co-extensive therewith for retaining the fourth edge of said'card against movement parallel to the surface of said plate, the corners of said plate adjacent the open ends of said slides and between them and the ends of said flange being cut out sufficiently only to provide a finger hold by which a card sign can be lifted over the outer edge of said flange and drawn out in a direction generally parallel to the plane of said plate.
