His follow-up, The Four Hour Body, has been two years in the making (probably taking some of those extended holidays), and many more years of research and self-experimentation. A master of outsourcing, leveraging and delegation (to hundreds of nice people in India), he's certainly raised the bar with his new book when it comes to super health (mental and physical) – in fact, it blows anything else we've read out of the water by a mile – and all for less than the cost of a large Dominos Pizza!

It is often said that success comes from experience, and experience comes from failure (or words to that affect). However, we don't need to experience failure all the time to become successful at something – often it's better to learn from someone else who's already gone through that learning curve and is happy to share their experience.
Therefore, at AW3i we read a lot of books to bring you lots of content to make you (and us) healthier and wealthier. What follows is a list of our favourite ones, …

A poor sleep isn't just annoying because it's boring lying in bed looking up at the ceiling all night, it can also make us far more susceptible to poor health, such as catching colds.
A group of boffins from various hospitals and universities, all PhDs, recently carried out a study of people's sleeping habits and their chances of developing a common cold. They basically injected rhino-virus up 153 volunteers hooters and then monitored their sleeping habits to see who caugh a cold…

We all have hundreds of habits, many of which we've built up over the years without realising it. It's therefore advantageous to try and throw in a few GOOD ones from time to time to compensate for all the bad ones – especially when it comes to health. The above free guide: Healthy Salesman's Healthy Habits, is a short collection of 27 habits (3 for each Principles for Great Health) that can be printed off and stuck to the fridge – or anywhere else it can be looked at for a minute or two everyday until the habit has been formed.

Mergers and Acquisitions, and the subsequent tools rolled-out for optimising processes and tracking performance, can result in a huge increase in information flow across the workforce – on top of today's already information-rich working environments. This affects everyone in the company, especially salespeople, because TIME is MONEY and unless dealt with effectively, it can be the source of much stress and overwhelm.

Get out there and feel the wind in your hair and the rain on your back! I spent 8 years in IT sales in London and during that time, I constantly suffered from physical and mental exhaustion to some degree. The nature of the work is that it consumes your every waking and sleeping moment; the target never goes away because you have to constantly build your pipeline up. If at the bottom of the leader board, you have to deal with the stress, panic and apprehension of losing your job, not making any commission, and those difficult conversations with the boss.

My flight from London Heathrow to Shanghai Pu Dong took 11 hours. From there I took a short domestic flight to XiangYang (listed as XiangFan), where I now live. I arrived late in the evening and I was met by my location manager and my foreign manager. It was all unfamiliar to me and I was in a bit of a daze. In this article I give a few suggestions for when you first arrive in China.
Step 1: Your apartment
My foreign manager drove me to my apartment in the dark and I had no idea where I actually lived. The first piece of advice is not to unpack fully. Instead, live out of a suitcase for the first few days. This is in case your language school decides to move you, or in case of a cockroach infestation. It's also a good idea to take photos of your apartment. This is in case of disputes over fees at the end of your contract.
Step 2: Get your bearings
I didn't receive the training I was promised in my contract. Instead, I had a full teaching schedule just days after arriving in China. There was no-one to show me around the city and I really struggled. It was a stressful time but I think there are ways to make the transition more bearable. Try to arrive in your city two or three days earlier than expected. This will allow you to explore the city without any immediate commitments.
Step 3: Sign the contract
Your language school may ask you to sign the contract straight-away, but you should wait. Before you sign, make sure you inspect your apartment and insist on the essentials. The essentials for your apartment are (i) hot water for showers, and (ii) a fast, wireless internet connection. I managed to secure a new wireless router as well as a new water tank when I first moved in, so you should be fine.
Step 4: Buy a SIM card
On my first full day in China my foreign manager took me to get a Chinese SIM card. You may find that your home SIM works well at first, but only if you arrive in a large city like Beijing or Shanghai. If you live in a small city you will definitely need a new one. It took us 10 minutes to buy one. Note that in China you can choose your own phone number (from a number of options). This is because numbers take on extra significance (i.e. there are lucky and unlucky numbers).
Step 5: Set up a bank account
Setting up a bank account in China is exactly the same as it is in the West, although it takes a lot longer due to all the paperwork. Remember that family names come before given names in China and middle-names do not exist. My name caused the bank in XiangYang a fair amount of confusion. In the end, they decided to reformat my name for the purposes of my bank account and I promptly forgot what they chose. This mistake caused further delays.
Step 6: Have a medical exam
Residence permits are valid for 12 months. To get one, you must first submit to a routine physical examination. The centers can only be found in the larger cities (I had mine in WuHan) and this may require an overnight stay. But your language school should send a chaperone who will guide you through the process. Your school may or may not pay your expenses, though.
NB: It may be a good idea to bring a few passport-sized photos with you
Step 7: Stay connected
You may know that the Great Firewall of China blocks Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, as well as most blog sites and all Google services. I purchased a VPN package, which I use to access blocked websites. But from time to time the government has crackdowns on VPN providers, so you may decide to use communication methods that don't rely on them. For example, QQ is an e-mail and private messaging service and WeChat is a smartphone application for instance messages and updates.
NB: Remember that your apartment will probably be located in an old building and so even with a functioning VPN you can't expect a stable connection.

So I might have been neglecting my diary for the last few dayz. I'll try not to.
I'm waiting to get on a train ti go to the mental hospital right now. I'm literally using the train not the subway. It's my first time using it, and my friend kinda talked me into it. So I'm blaming my friend if I get late.
He's gone to go get some more clothes on cuz he felt cold right now, and the train's here in 11 min. Kinda worrying if he'll be on time right now. If he dosent… well, I always have the bus.
I'm on the train right now.
I'm on my way to the library with my friend. The train was damn fast. Real damn fast that it kinda surprised me. Just went to the mental hospital, talked to the doctor, then got some pills, now going to the library.
I did not read one of the books. Hopefully I'll read it all soon.
I'm at the library.
Had a little bit of sleep on the way.
Still tired though.
Checked out a few books. Reading another dragon book right now.
Still at the library.
Right now I'm reading geronimo stilton series, which is totally under-age 4 me, but I like the series, so I'm readin it. If it's fun, who cares, right?
So… that was a bad idea. I guess I have grown out of those books. Was not as fun as i had expected, so I just returned it to its original spot.
Now im reading shatter me by mafi.
This one was good, but i didn't finish it so… yeah.
Still reading
Wonder if I should check the book out.
I asked my friend if he wants to go home now. Answer was no… lol
Finally home
God… my friend is obsessed with teachers… i don't know what's up with him and teachers…
Anyways, i'm hungry af, and no one's home. Great.
I'm running some errands for my mom right now. I feel tired and hungry… both something that I dont like feeling. Tired cuz i was movin from the morning, and hungry cuz I did not have any meal whatsoever.
I gotta wash but im pretty sure ill feel quite cold if i do…

LaSalle Junior High School opened its doors on Buffalo Avenue in September of 1931. Due to the then rapid growth of the LaSalle neighborhood in the City of Niagara Falls, it soon became a junior-senior high school. In March of 1957, the senior high school students moved to a new building on Military Road aptly named LaSalle Senior High School. The original LaSalle building on Buffalo Avenue once again became a junior high school until 1990 when it was restructured and renamed LaSalle Middle School. With the closing of LaSalle Senior High School in the year 2000 the Explorer mascot of LaSalle, along with the brown and gold banner that proudly hangs in the entrance of our school, were returned to their rightful place overlooking the Niagara River. In 2007, LaSalle was restructured to service students in grades seven (7) and eight (8) as LaSalle Preparatory School (LPS).
LaSalle Preparatory School (LPS) is one of two (2) intermediate secondary schools in the Niagara Falls City School District, in the City of Niagara Falls, New York. Overlooking the north bank of the Niagara River, it is located in the onetime Village of LaSalle, with views of Grand Island (to the south) and Cayuga Island (to the southeast). The LaSalle Complex includes a large athletic field to the north, two (2) gyms, a pool, library, auditorium, and more than 50 classrooms with Internet connectivity and SMART Board Technology throughout.
The student population and neighborhood surrounding LPS is economically diverse. In terms of its needs and resources, LPS is classified by The New York State Education Department as having middle range to high student need in relation to district resource capacity. This places LPS in the middle range of similar urban and suburban secondary schools in the Albany, Binghamton, Elmira, and Jamestown School Districts. The Niagara Falls and LaSalle neighborhood communities are highly supportive of LPS and the Niagara Falls City School District, as evidenced by successive successful budget votes and capital improvement projects, which have maintained the LPS complex for more than eighty (80) years. The most recent of which, provided chimney, masonry, door, roofing, electrical, ventilation, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance upgrades throughout the school.
Dedicated to the principles of Response to Intervention, LPS conducts three (3) universal screenings annually to monitor each student's academic progress. The data obtained from these screenings is used to make informed decisions about how our school can best address each child's academic needs. Currently, 19% of LPS' students receive intense academic support through specialized program accommodations, including Individual Education Plans and Section 504 accommodations. A continuum of services is offered, incorporating consultant teacher services, resource room, and self-contained classroom settings.
In 2005, LaSalle Preparatory School (then as LaSalle Middle School) adopted a positive behavior management program, emphasizing the identification and instruction of desirable student behaviors, while establishing a system of student rewards. This initiative was implemented with the intention of promoting the attributes of good citizenship and positive behavior, while increasing student achievement by reducing instructional time lost to disciplinary consequences.
LPS is classified by the New York State Department of Education as a school in good standing. It has continued to meet adequate yearly progress goals as required by New York State in all subjects (English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science). For more detailed information please view LPS' New York State Accountability and Comprehensive Information Reports available at NYSED.GOV

Scores are the measure of school achievement. Many students being intelligent still fail to score well in their qualification and assignment and essays. Here are the best tips towards getting good grades in college as suggested by UK assignment writers:
1. Effort through semester: Some students begin superior to anything they wrap up. They do that with a specific end goal to give themselves space to slack close to the end of the semester, which can be an unreasonable error. Drive yourself to do your best on each task given out and make a point to check your syllabus to see which assignments are expected when. Remain focused of your amusement and don't lose centre.
2. Stay sorted out: College is about multitasking. Organizers can truly help you to adjust homework, due dates and tests. You ought to attempt to complete your work early, and then you will have less stretch. A few universities have a web learning instrument to help you monitor assignment writing and so forth. In the event that you don't care for the web, attempt to utilize the great old task journal. A folio is the most ideal approach to keep your stuff composed.
3. Go to class: You may get interest focuses, and the educator will likewise become acquainted with you better. It will keep you in the stream of the class, and set you up for anything that may tag along. Numerous classes have in class assignments, pop tests, and contextual analyses that just could be taken in class, on the off chance that you are not there, you may lose focuses. Other than that, focusing in class does miracles to your memory. It is never the same as re-examining it all alone. A few things are best seen, heard and noted down.
4. be a note taker: As suggested by UK coursework writers in numerous introduction courses, the educator's addresses shape the significant part of the material tried on the midterm and last. So you ought to be recording everything the teacher says in the address. Try not to stress a lot over the structure, and disregard extraordinary note-taking frameworks; just get it all down and you can simply set it up later.
5. Balance work, school and social life: Many students begin to botch up in school since they need to hang out with their companions each moment. There will dependably be the ideal opportunity for celebrating in school. Pull yourself far from celebrating with the goal that you can get it done.
Even if you face problem in dissertation writing and if you need help with dissertation all what you need to do is simply search for Quality Dissertation and you will find them effective.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is being employed more and more often to image pathologies and surgical anatomy within the anterior segment, specifically in anterior chamber biometry, corneal pachymetric mapping, angle evaluation and high-resolution cross-sectional imaging. The cross-sectional imaging capability of OCT is similar to ultrasound, but its higher resolution allows OCT to measure and visualize very fine anatomic structures. No contact is required. In this review, we describe the utility and limitations of anterior segment OCT.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-contact imaging technology that provides detailed cross-sectional images (tomography) of internal structures in biological tissues.1 In 1994, Izatt et al. published the first report of OCT imaging of corneal and anterior segment.2 Since then, the increasing popularity of corneal refractive surgery has spurred many investigators to apply OCT to corneal imaging and refine the instrumentation for an anterior segment OCT. Other important applications, such as angle evaluation (to diagnose narrow-angle glaucoma) and anterior chamber (AC) biometry (to plan out intraocular lens, or IOL, implantation) have driven this field of research even further. In this review, we discuss the major clinical and research applications of anterior segment OCT.
Optical coherence tomography imaging is based on measuring the delay of light (typically infrared) reflected from tissue structures. Its principle is similar to that of ultrasound or radar imaging, in which the round trip delay time of the reflected wave is used to probe the target structure in depth. Because light travels extremely fast, it is not possible to directly measure the delay at a micron resolution. Therefore, OCT employs low-coherence interferometry to compare the delay of tissue reflections against a reference reflection. To obtain an OCT image, the instrument scans a light beam laterally, creating a series of axial scans (A-scans), after which it combines these A-scans into a composite image. Each A-scan contains information on the strength of reflected signal as a function of depth.
The main characteristics of OCT are as follows:
In time-domain (TD) OCT, the A-scans are produced by varying the position of the reference mirror, thereby producing a reflectivity profile corresponding to depth. Each depth in the tissue is detected serially. In Fourier-domain (FD) OCT, the reference mirror is fixed, and the interference between the sample and reference reflections is detected as a spectrum. Fourier transformation of the spectral interferogram produces the A-scan. Current ophthalmic FD-OCT systems utilize a spectrometer in the detector arm of the interferometer. Scanning the spectrum of the light source (swept-source OCT) is another FD-OCT implementation that might become more economical as the technology advances.
Because TD-OCT systems depend on the mechanical movement of a reference mirror to measure the reflectivity of the tissues, the speed of these systems is limited by the mechanical cycle time of the reference mirror driver. Currently, the fastest commercial TD-OCT system is the Visante anterior segment OCT (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc., Dublin, CA), which acquires 2000 A-scans per second. In contrast, FD-OCT uses a stationary reference mirror, which poses no mechanical limitations. The RTVue (Optovue, Inc., Fremont, CA) is an FD-OCT system that can be used for either retinal or anterior segment imaging (when used with a corneal adaptor module, or CAM). Its spectrometer is fitted with a high-speed line camera that captures 26 000 A-scans per second. FD-OCT is not only faster than TD-OCT, but it is also much more efficient: it detects signals from the entire depth range in parallel, rather than serially, thereby achieving higher speed without losing signal-to-noise ratio.
Although the Visante is slower, its longer wavelength (1310 nm, compared with the 830-nm RTVue) penetrates more deeply through the sclera and iris. Its 16-mm scan width and almost 6-mm scan depth in tissue are sufficient for AC biometry. The Visante′s depth resolution is approximately 17 µm full-width-half-maximum in tissue. On the other hand, the RTVue is 13 times faster and boasts a depth resolution that is over three times higher (5 µm) than the Visante. The high speed reduces motion error and yields higher definition (more A-scans per image), producing much more detailed images and a more precise mapping of corneal thickness. The RTVue is fast enough to directly measure anterior and posterior corneal power.3 Each OCT design has distinct advantages, and which of the current imaging instruments is a better choice depends on the application.
Keratoconus, the most common ectatic disorder, is characterized by bilateral and progressive corneal thinning and apical protrusion. In general, the focal thinning occurs in the inferotemporal corneal location, and detecting this characteristic corneal thinning pattern is a useful new approach to diagnose keratoconus.
Although moderate to advanced keratoconus is easily recognized by the characteristic topographic pattern and classic clinical signs, it can be difficult to distinguish subclinical forms of the disease from normal corneas, because patients usually present with normal visual acuity, stable topographic patterns and minimal or no clinical signs.4 In these cases, OCT produces highly reliable pachymetry maps5,6 that can detect keratoconus, ectasia and corneal thinning conditions before refractive laser surgeries.
Optical coherence tomography can diagnose keratoconus by using four parameters, based on the central 5-mm diameter region of the pachymetry map (Fig. 1):
Combining these four parameters detects asymmetry, global thinning and focal thinning, and we have developed diagnostic cut-off points for these parameters.7,8 Asymmetry that is more negative than −45 µm for I–S or IT–SN indicates keratoconus, as does a minimum thickness of less than 470 µm or a minimum–maximum difference that is more negative than −100 µm. One abnormal parameter provides reason to suspect keratoconus, and two or more abnormal parameters provide a definitive diagnosis. An example of a pachymetry map from an eye with keratoconus is shown in Figure 2.
Corneal ectasia post-laser vision correction is a serious complication described in the literature. An abnormal preoperative corneal topography that is suspicious for keratoconus, insufficient residual stromal bed thickness (less than 250 µm)9 and reduction of the biomechanical integrity of the cornea are the most important risk factors for keratectasia.
An OCT evaluation of the residual stromal bed and flap can assess the potential safety of performing an enhancement by lifting the flap. Specifically, OCT is able to visualize the LASIK flap in the early postoperative period to evaluate the performance of microkeratome or femtosecond laser being used; it can also visualize the flaps many months later. In a recent study, Li et al. showed OCT scans at 1 day and 1 week after surgery, and the LASIK flaps were detectable in all flap profile and flap map scans.10 Although the flap boundary detection rate decreased to 61% at 3 months and 42% at 6 months, the OCT could measure the flap thickness at all time points for every subject. Figure 3 shows a flap created by a femtosecond laser that, at 1 week postoperative, exhibited a residual stromal bed of 301 µm. In contrast, the OCT in Figure 4 revealed a LASIK flap of 198 µm, which was much thicker than intended; OCT also measured the residual stromal bed at 215 µm, which puts this cornea at high risk for ectasia in the future.
Measurements of AC dimensions are important for refractive surgery and diagnostics. Accurate measurement and biometric analyses of the anterior segment of the eye have become extremely critical, because of the increased use of refractive phakic and pseudophakic IOLs.11 Accurate AC biometry also allows the clinician to select the appropriate-sized IOL, in order to avoid complications.
Its high image resolution makes OCT ideal for accurate AC measurement and reproducibility. Unlike ultrasound, OCT is a non-contact exam, eliminating discomfort and distortion from probe contact or immersion. OCT can image the entire AC and yield measurements such as AC depth, angle-to-angle width and iris profile (Fig. 5). Furthermore, in a study by Kohnen et al., OCT yielded more accurate real AC width values than corneal diameter measurements with the Orbscan (Bausch & Lomb-Orbtek, Salt Lake City, UT, USA) or IOLMaster (Carl Zeiss, Dublin, CA, USA), which only estimated AC width.12 Goldsmith et al. used a high-speed OCT prototype to measure mean AC width, AC depth and crystalline lens vault measurements in 40 normal eyes; the AC width was 12.53 ± 0.47 mm, with high repeatability between images (standard deviation [SD], 0.134 mm). Furthermore, the mean AC depth was 2.99 ± 0.323 mm (inter-eye SD), with repeatability of less than 0.001 mm (inter-image SD), and the mean crystalline lens vault was 0.39 ± 0.27 mm, with 0.023 mm repeatability.13 Despite its numerous applications, OCT technology does possess one distinct disadvantage: it cannot measure and detect structures behind the iris very well.
Various studies have used different classification systems to evaluate and quantify the AC angle, the 'gold standards' of which are the gonioscopy in combination with a Goldmann contact lens examination, and the classification system introduced by Shaffer.14 However, in this system, the examiner numerically estimates the AC angle based on anatomic landmarks, which is subjective and highly dependent on the examiner's judgment and experience.
Previous reports have described several parameters to quantify normal AC angle using OCT and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM):15–17
Goniometry studies quantified a normal eye as one in which the open angle has a ~329-µ1m AOD 500 and a ~28° AC angle.18 In narrow and closed angles, the AOD 500 is <210 µm and the AC angle is <18°. Radhakrishnan et al. in a study of 31 eyes found that an AOD 500 cut-off value of 190 µm was 100% sensitive and 87.5% specific in detecting an occludable angle.16 Thus, this criterion suggests that an AOD 500 of <190 µm is occludable.
In recent years, several studies have used anterior segment OCT to visualize AC angle structures.2,13,19,20 The non-contact nature of OCT permits comfortable and safe exams and, more importantly, sidesteps mechanical distortion of the angle and improves the reliability of the angle depth measurement. This technique provides high-resolution cross-sectional images, and it yields reproducible and accurate measurements of the AC.13,21
In October 2005, Food and Drug Administration approved the commercially available Visante OCT for AC angle imaging. This apparatus uses a 1300-nm wavelength and acquires images at a rate of eight frames (2000 A-scans) per second with a transverse resolution of 60 µm and an axial resolution of 10–20 µm. Recent studies with Visante OCT determined that this apparatus could pinpoint scleral spur locations in 72% of eye images.22,23 Its location on anterior segment OCT images was less detectable in quadrants with a closed angle during gonioscopy, or in images obtained in areas that were superior or inferior of the nasal and temporal quadrants. This inability to detect scleral spur may hamper quantitative analysis of AC angle parameters that are dependent on spur location, particularly in the superior and inferior quadrants. Indeed, in a second study, the same authors could not classify the AC angle in 16% of the eyes because of poor image quality or poor scleral spur definition.
A recently approved FD-OCT (September 2007), RTVue, exhibits an 830-nm wavelength, 26000 A-scans per second and an axial resolution of 5 µm, rendering it able to visualize scleral spur and other small anatomic details of the angle chamber (such as the Schlemm's canal, the Schwalbe's line and the trabecular meshwork) with higher resolution and image quality than the Visante OCT. Figure 8 and Figure 9 show TD-OCT and FD-OCT angle scans, respectively. In both images, the structures in the posterior chamber are not well delineated because of attenuation of the OCT light beam by the iris pigment epithelium.
Optical coherence tomography accurately maps corneal thickness in clear and opacified corneas, allowing the examiner to precisely map the depth of corneal opacities, the degree of epithelial hyperplasia and the thickness of the cornea, as well as scleral melts, corneal degenerations, scars and corneal dystrophies.5,6 The OCT images can facilitate decision-making by the surgeons and allow them to more accurately plan treatments for corneal opacities. For example, scars within the optical zone generally respond well to ablative treatment, but only if they can be removed while maintaining a minimal corneal thickness of 300 µm (including the epithelium). We must also consider the resulting hyperopic shift, the possibility of inducing a regular or irregular astigmatism and the feasibility of subsequent spectacles, rigid gas-permeable lenses or photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) treatments to achieve improved overall vision. OCT can reveal whether the opacity is too deep, in which case lamellar or penetrating keratoplasty (PK) may be an alternative.
For example, Figure 10 shows a left eye with a deep stromal scar in the cornea; it had initially been referred for phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) treatment. A subsequent OCT scan revealed deep posterior stromal scars, which contraindicated PTK treatment and suggested PK as a better alternative. In Figure 11, a patient with granular dystrophy in both eyes was OCT scanned during preoperative PTK testing, and the images revealed the upper boundary of the transepithelial ablation, in order to reduce surface irregularity. In this case, the scan indicated transepithelial PTK ablation as an excellent method for smoothing corneal surface abnormalities, especially small depressions and irregularities.
Intrastromal corneal rings segments have been proposed and investigated as an additive surgical procedure for correcting keratoconus; such an approach could provide an alternative to delaying or avoiding corneal grafting.24–27 The rings, a pair of 150° polymethylmethacrylate arc segments, are designed to be implanted into surgically created channels in the mid-peripheral cornea (~70% depth) in order to flatten the cornea.27 In some studies, these intrastromal corneal rings have improved the best spectacle-correction visual acuity of keratoconic eyes an average of two lines.28–30 The surgeon uses a slitlamp impression to evaluate ring segment depth, but this technique may not accurately assess segment depth. In contrast, high-resolution OCT can image the intrastromal corneal rings, providing a much more accurate depth and position assessment (Fig. 12). If the surgeon does not place the intrastromal corneal ring segments deep enough, it may result in severe complications, such as epithelial-stromal breakdown and extrusion.31,32 On the other hand, implants that are too deep may carry a high risk for perforating into the AC.32 Hence, the OCT scan can help cornea surgeons improve their techniques and avoid depth-related problems earlier.
The new generation of corneal transplant procedures, such as full-thickness PK with incisions shaped by femtosecond lasers, descemet-stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) and deep lamellar endothelial keratoplasty (DLEK), have been improving results and resulting in faster vision recovery. In these techniques, OCT has proven to be a critical preoperative and postoperative tool to evaluate, refine and manage corneal transplantation patients. OCT can image the creation of the donor flap and measure the thickness prior to DSEK and DLEK. Moreover, it provides corneal measurements, pachymetry maps, interface abnormalities; it also verifies draft attachment (Fig 13, Fig 14) and visualizes the donor button dislocation postoperatively. In PK with femtosecond laser applications, OCT can identify top hat, mushroom, zigzag-shaped incisions, alignment of donor and host cornea and the depth of the sutures.33,34
Ultrasound and OCT technologies can usually image anterior segment tumours, but OCT exhibits many distinct advantages.35 It does not require water immersion or direct probe contact to the eye, which eliminates the associated image distortion and provides higher spatial resolution than UBM. With devices utilizing a longer wavelength source (1310 nm), the OCT beam can penetrate and provide detailed images of the iris, limbus and anterior segment angle. Comparative studies that evaluated OCT, UBM and slit lamp photography demonstrated that OCT technology is more accurate and more repeatable in anterior segment biometry.13,16,18,36 Although OCT is limited by its lower penetration through sclera and poor visualization of the ciliary body, it can visualize and monitor iris cysts, iris nevus, iris melanoma, iridoschisis and even some tumours of the ciliary body, although UBM is still better for determining the extent of the most ciliary body tumours.
The new generation of FD-OCT devices for anterior segment has arrived, bringing with it dramatically increased image-acquisition speeds and the promise of improved diagnostics. The recent incorporation of this generation of OCT instruments into ophthalmology clinics has boosted the sensitivity of diagnosis, improved disease progression monitoring, facilitated surgical planning and enhanced the response to therapy. Because these new FD-OCT devices magnify speed and resolution and expand the repertoire of diagnostic wavelengths, they might pave the way for future technologies that yield better images of structures behind the iris, such as the ciliary body, ciliary sulcus and peripheral retina. OCT may someday produce images of microscopic structures, such as endothelial cells, corneal nerves, protozoa and fungi, permitting a non-excisional 'optical biopsy'. These advances may also allow us to exactly calculate corneal power, IOL in patients who had prior laser vision correction (both of these studies are in progress) and topographic corneal evaluations. New developments in three-dimensional visualization of AC tissue morphology, by using future OCT models with ultra-high speed and resolution, may further enhance the diagnostic role of this powerful technology in ophthalmology clinics.
In summary, OCT is applicable to assess a wide variety of corneal and anterior segment conditions. This technology has revolutionized our ability to examine the AC, cornea and surrounding areas. The versatility, accuracy and high resolution of these imaging devices has facilitated and enhanced diagnosis, surgical planning, clinical evaluations, patient management and therapeutic decisions. We believe that OCT will eventually encompass more of the applications currently performed with other technologies.

These two lawn videos are designed to teach you two of the foundational principles of "How To Fertilize The Lawn." It's great if you think you know how to apply lawn products, but don't you want to know that you are truly doing it properly? In addition, you want to ensure that you are not only applying correctly, but that you are applying at the proper rates to get the correct results. Follow this lawn fertilizing guide to ensure a proper application every time!
Getting good results is great, but getting good results without destroying your soil or the environment around you is better!
How Much Fertilizer To Put On The Lawn
This video talks about fertilizer application rates and understanding the proper amount of a granular product you are putting down. It comes down to two things:
1) How big is the area you are applying lawn products to? We typically measure in square feet.
2) How much square footage does the back tell you it covers.
If you are a bit more advanced, you can utilize the knowledge you gain here and understand how much nitrogen is being applied with a single application. Typically, when we create a lawn care program, we are concerned primarily with the amount of "N" that is applied in a season. For me, I like about a pound of N for spring, maybe a quarter pound in summer, and another pound in Fall. But this all depends on what you want to accomplish and in what form you are getting that nitrogen. (organics or synthetics) Your mileage may vary! 🙂
Either way, I hope you can see now that putting down fertilizer isn't just about flipping the bag over and checking for a spreader setting- there are too many variables. It's really about knowing how much product you are putting down per 1,000 square feet of lawn area. So from here on out, don't ask questions like "what is the proper setting for a Scott's spreader?" or "what setting do I put my Earthway spreader on?" — instead, look at the size of your lawn, decide the amount of "N" you want to apply, and work back from there.
If you are not 100% confident here, then you can practice using course sand – it won't harm the lawn and will give you a pretty good idea of what you are putting down. In addition, if you use an organic fertilizer product like Milorganite, you have a lot more room for "fudge factor" and don't have to worry if you over-apply the first time you try.
How To Apply Fertilizer To The Lawn
So now that you know how much to put down, you need to know how to put it down – or how to spread the fertilizer or other lawn product properly. This video shows you that as simply as I an make it:
Here are the three things to consider:
1) Your spreader should be a broadcast spreader – these have a turning flywheel that throws the fert out a few feet to either side in a fan pattern.
2) Your walking speed should be 3.5 miles per hour (very important!) It's a semi-fast walk – I like to say "put some ass into it" and walk with a purposer.
3) Keep the walking speed consistent all the way until the end of each pass so you have a consistent spread pattern – also called a "swath."
4) Make a trim pass first. The trim pass makes sure that all the edges are covered properly.
5) Walk and spread in a grid, throwing fertilizer back to the wheeltracks of the previous pass.
It's a very simple task and can be mastered by homeowners very quickly. I know that when you first think about applying fertilizer on your own, it can many times be a daunting task – but I assure you, it's quite simple once you understand the basics.
Final Tips – Fertilizing Applications
Once you're done, see if you used the right amount according to your calculations from the first video. If you applied too much, try speeding up your walking speed a little – just keep in mind that this will also produce a wider swath. Now, if you did not put down enough, then keep the same walking speed, but open your spreader up a notch or two and see how you come out.
Before you know it, you'll be applying fertilizer like an old lawn pro!

Hi everyone! I just hit five followers and I wanted to say thank you so much! You have no idea how much this means to me and how cool this is!
Moving on…
This summer I will be doing a series of posts (and possibly a few videos) on a room decor and re do. This will include things like how to revamp old items through fabric, paint, etc. as well as have organizational tips and tricks.
I'm trying to make my room a more cohesive area by choosing a color scheme and an overall room scheme. I will also be including ways to make an inspiration binder or book to help you make your ideas come to life… and possibly (definitely), I will show you my own binder.
Let me know if this is something you all would like to see or if there is any specific tutorial, D.I.Y.'s, whatever, that you would like me to do!
Also, I will be continuing regular posts along with the room makeover and I promise that some actual fashion posts are coming shortly!
Thanks so much for the follows and the likes! And have a great day!

I'm 36 weeks pregnant and I had my check up today. They did an ultrasound because I'm not gaining weight and they wanted to make sure baby was ok. As it turns out he is great. What I'm trying to wrap my head around is how big he is. He weighs 7 lbs 10 oz right now and he is measuring at 39 weeks gestation. I still have 4 weeks to go til my due date, he is gonna be huge. They asked if there is any way that my due date could be off and its impossible that it would be. I hadnt had sex since Feb 2010 until Oct 23rd 2010. So I know the due date isnt off. I'm worried that I might have to have a c-section because he is to big and I really dont want to if I dont have to. Has anyone else had this happen? Or maybe delivered a baby bigger than 9 lbs by vaginal delivery? My daughter was 9 lbs 1 oz and she was a week late.Answer Question

Pro Athletes Say No One Talks Like Trump In Locker Rooms
Donald Trump may think that bragging about sexual assault is "locker room talk," but professional athletes across the country beg to differ.
During Sunday night's presidential debate, Trump was sharply criticized for a leaked video from 2005 in which he boasts about hitting on a married woman "like a bitch" and grabbing women "by the pussy."
"It's locker room talk, and it's one of those things," the GOP nominee said of the statements.
LA Clippers coach and former NBA point guard Doc Rivers said that if Trump thinks his comments constitute locker room talk, "that's a new locker room for me."
Several other current and former sports stars weighed in to say that people don't actually talk like Trump in locker rooms.

Five Commonly Heard Weight Loss Myths
Becca Clegg
I've gotten to the point in my life where I get sad when I hear women and men talking about weight loss. It's not because I think weight loss itself is inherently a problem. It's because the way we look at weight loss - as though it is our life's purpose or the only path to happiness - has become a cultural obsession. I also believe 99.99 percent of people have bought into a diet mentality that is harmful, and never works.
Imagine that you were constantly hearing people talk about their deep desire and effort to save money. Then you heard them talking about spending, refusing to open up their bank statements and look at them, and often you heard them talking about opening up high-interest-rate credit cards.
Wouldn't you want to shake them and scream – STOP?
Well, that's how I feel about diets, and the commonly accepted path people take when they want to lose weight. The old approach is not only not working, but also its actually contributing to the problem.
Here are five commonly held beliefs about weight-loss that I hear all too often.
Not only do diets not work with regards to creating a path to sustained weight management, but they are harmful to your overall goals. I hope these helps you to rethink the way you or your loved ones are approaching weight loss and health so that you can really get what you are desiring, and not just more of the same old thing.
- I need to lose weight and then I will be happy. This belief is not only false, but it is backward. Yes, you will be happy when you lose weight, I get that. But it doesn't work in that order. It's the other way around.The truth is that you will start to heal your relationship with food and maintain permanent weight loss when you are truly happy. When you focus on your happiness first and foremost, weight loss is no longer tedious and difficult – the way dieting feels. You will notice your desire to emotionally eat decreases when your life is balanced and you are deeply fulfilled. You must focus on being happy first, and let weight loss be an effect of that, not the other way around.
- I just need to try harder and then I'll lose the weight and fix this problem. Again, this belief is false and backwards. Trying too hard (what I call "efforting"), is not going to help you maintain a healthy weight long term. You can lose weight in a short period of time this way, but it never ever lasts. This is what leads to yo-yo dieting. The truth is that allowing, instead of forcing, is a more powerful force when it comes to long-term permanent weight loss. Allow yourself to reconnect to your body's hunger and fullness signals. Allow yourself to be mindful of what your body is craving and what you want to eat and why. Allow yourself to learn about your habits, bad and good, so that you can make a mindful choice about how to eat healthier in the future. Forcing the process only leads to burnout and exhaustion. This is why these really extreme diets don't last. Very few of us can take that kind of forced exertion for very long. It is like swimming up stream. You don't have to push so hard. You can relax into this process and allow yourself to begin to reconnect with your own wisdom. If you do this, you will have the energy and the insight to make this a lifestyle, and not just a short-term effort.
- Somewhere out there someone has a diet or a book that has the answer I need to lose weight. Diet and nutrition books are everywhere. They are also a dime a dozen and for every book that tells you one thing, there are 10 that will tell you the opposite. This leads to mass confusion and chaos if you are looking to the outside for the answers you seek. You can use the wisdom you find outside yourself as guidance, but the truth is, only you have the answer you are seeking. I promise this is true. Only you know the exact recipe that will give you the balance that your mind, body, and spirit seek at this moment in time. You will always be the only person who is ever going to know what you need. Paying attention to your needs, your hunger, your body's signals, and your health is vital in order for you to read the signs and interpret the meaning as it translates into your nutritional needs. You are walking around with the perfect "diet solution" right now, so skip the trip to Barnes and Noble and start paying attention to your thoughts, your beliefs, your body and your hunger.
- I can do this on my own (DIY) – asking for help means I am weak. How many times have you tried to lose weight only to gain it back? How much time, money, and effort have you invested in your efforts to get healthy and stay healthy? The truth is, I don't think we are meant to do much of anything alone. I believe that we are tribal, communal and relational beings. I think it is just in our make-up – probably in our DNA (just a guess). I find when people try to do things in isolation, they have limited power. When people do things in a group, they obtain the exponential power of the number of people in the group they are in. It's a "two minds are better than one" type of effect. Asking for help is not weak, it is strong. It is choosing the power of community over the less powerful force of isolation. That is just smart. Being vulnerable in our society isn't easy, I get that. We live in a world that is based on a lot of crappy and broken beliefs, and "asking for help is weak" is an example of one of those broken mindsets. Asking for help is courageous, it is smart, and ultimately, it will assist you in getting to your goal sooner.
- Weight Loss is a one-time thing. This is not a one-and-done thing. Anyone who believes that they are just going to lose weight and then everything will be "fixed" is fooling himself or herself. It's like believing that if you just clean your house from top to bottom "this one time" then you will forever live in a pristine place and nothing will ever have to be done again. While that would be glorious, anyone who cleans his or her house knows that is not true. That is why being a clean and orderly person is a lifestyle, rather than an event. It is the same with truly learning to take care of our bodies - which is a better goal than weight loss any day. It's not an event. It is a lifestyle. It is about living in alignment with your needs and connected to what works for you. It is about managing balance, which is never a fixed point. It is about commitment on a daily, sometimes, hourly level. This is why I believe it is about reconnecting with yourself.
Unlike house-cleaning, this process can be, and is, fun. It isn't about changing yourself. It is about reconnecting to yourself and your needs. It's really just life, but a life lived intentionally and with oodles of self-care and compassion.


text: Hi y'all, I have been using Stefan Jahn's picture gallery on a website for a quite a while. Now my customer has had her website transferred to a new provider and the server handles the code a little differently. The gallery script now does not display the thumbnails because the output is malformed as src="/http%3A//www.filmkruse.de/p2/uploads/Main/thumb_tour2005_110249.jpg" instead of src="http://www.filmkruse.de/p2/uploads/Main/thumb_tour2005_110249.jpg" The same happens on the single image page. Okay, so I can simply remove the slash in src="/. But then I am stuck. The script has the code $output.= '<img class="thumb" src="/'.str_replace('%2F', '/', urlencode($directory.$thumbnail[$i])).'" alt="'.$g_alttext.'" '.$size[3].' />'; but how to I replace both the %2F with / and %3A with : at the same time? The code for the gallery script is here (gallery.php renamed to gallery.txt): http://www.filmkruse.de/p2/cookbook/gallery.txt The non-working version: http://www.filmkruse.de/p2/index.php/Main/Tour2004 and the same script working on a different server: http://www.moni-kellermann.de/p2/index.php/Main/Tour2004 Any help is appreciated! Thanx! moni k.

Follow Gandhi, settle family disputes through mediation: SC
Civil disputes in the family and matrimonial disputes can be better settled through mediation instead of fighting prolonged legal battles which would only ruin the litigants, the Supreme Court has counselled.
New Delhi: Civil disputes in the family and
matrimonial disputes can be better settled through mediation
instead of fighting prolonged legal battles which would only
ruin the litigants, the Supreme Court has counselled.
A bench of justices Markandeya Katju and Gyan Sudha
Mishra in an order quoting Mahatma Gandhi`s book "My
Experiments with Truth" asked lawyers to advise the clients to
go in for mediation, instead of fighting protracted battles
involving huge expenditure.
Mediation is an alternative dispute mechanisim where a
mediator works out a compromise between the disputing parties.
"This is a dispute between brothers. In our opinion,
an effort should be made to resolve the dispute between the
parties by mediation.
"In our opinion, the lawyers should advise their
clients to try for mediation for resolving the disputes,
especially where relationships, like family relationships,
business relationships, are involved otherwise, the litigation
drags on for years and decades often ruining both the parties.
"Hence,the lawyers as well as litigants should follow
Mahatma Gandhi`s advice in the matter and try for
arbitration/mediation. This is also the purpose of Section 89
of the Code of Civil Procedure," the apex court said in an
The apex court bench quoted Mahatama Gandhi`s anguish
as a lawyer wherein he said "a large part of my time during
the twenty years of my practice as a lawyer was occupied in
bringing about private compromises of hundreds of cases. I
lost nothing thereby--not even money, certainly not my soul."
The apex court passed the order while disposing of a
property dispute between BS Krishnamurthy and BS Nagaraj
from Karnataka.
"Let the matter be referred to the Bangalore Mediation
Centre. The parties are directed to appear before the
Bangalore Mediation Centre on 21.02.2011", the bench said

text: I was wondering if any of you have run into this. Here in Chicago, my cable provider is AT & T Broadband. After enduring the usual excrutiating wait for a tech to show up to my apartment to hook up my digital cable, he finally showed up and proceded to hook up the cable. Halfway through, he asks me if there is a phone jack nearby. There is, but it is about 25 feet away. He says that is too far away and that the digital cable will not work without a phone hook up within 6 feet of the box. I had never heard of this before. Anyone else, or am I right in thinking this guy was full of it?

Now, I've been a computer geek for a long time and I've read alot of discussion about progressive scan and it still confuses me somewhat. Ok, is comparing 480p to 480i like comparing 60 frames per second to 30 frames per second? Or am I WAY off base there? I know, I know someone will say "do a search on this discussion and you will find your answer", I'm just trying to find an easy way to explain progressive scan to myself! Thanks, Andy

Latest word is that GM and Ford will match last year's numbers, Chrysler Group should eek a sales gain and the Asian manufacturers will also gain. Gas prices have changed some Toyota sales. They have seen softening of the Land Cruiser and Sequoia market but more sales of Scions and the Prius. We'll have the complete numbers tomorrow, and promise we won't report "Toyota sales down 50%!" headlines.

California Congresswoman Maxine Waters puts her foot down by reclaiming her time.
Sherri Shepherd and her husband Lamar Sally are ready to call it quits on their marriage, PageSix.com reports. The View co-host and Sally, a TV writer, have been married for three years, but things have hit the rocks lately, according to sources close to the couple.

Carrie Jones '15
As a visitor services associate I witness guests' orientation behavior. The moment after people purchase their tickets they look for a map, snap a photograph, and browse the racks for brochures. They want to feel comfortable in the space and also to personalize and organize their experience. After I tell disappointed guests that there is no photography in the galleries they often joke, "oh, so no selfies?" The point of this anecdote is to illustrate the influence of participatory culture on my thesis research. Not all museum goers are complacent just being a passive observer, but expect to be participants whose museum experience mimics their ability to curate their own lives. This is important to consider when looking at the models (community and crowdsourced curation, community gallery spaces), which in their own ways hope to better connect exhibition content to their audiences. The museums I'm using as examples are each working to become more "community driven."
|Image taken from The Walters Museum Pinterest page
The cases I'm analyzing in my thesis are stepping stones for museums to rethink and experiment with the way they interact with their publics, while considering participatory culture. Finding a way to tie the models together and illustrate how they are effective has been tricky considering each model is unique to the different museums that have adopted them. Each museum is dealing with different content and community, which makes each model unique. I've found common threads of relationship building and dialogue. The key evidence I have is my case study materials and both informal and formal interviews. Thought leaders like Nina Simon and Ron Chew have been influential throughout my my research process. I've also found recently published theses dealing with similar content on shared authority. These materials, along with other research, will support my findings.
My thesis research is tied with my interest in community engagement. I think it will deepen my understanding of what it means for a museum to really exist for their public. I will contribute my own suggestions to the museum field. I'm interested in observing these models evolve over time as the public's needs and interests do too.

Beestar Math and Reading Review
Beestar Math and Reading Review
My family had the opportunity to do a Beestar Math and Reading Review these last few weeks. The Beestar website offers supplementary, curriculum-based, online exercises in math, English language arts, vocabulary, science, social studies, and GT (gifted & talented), for kids in grades 1-8. The exercises emphasize knowledge application and skill proficiency.
Because this is a supplementary program (2 exercises/about 20 minutes per week), you are still going to have to teach the above subjects to your children – Beestar isn't a stand-alone program. But it does provide an opportunity for practice and allows your children to improve on subject knowledge. You can see samples of exercises here. And guess what? The Beestar math program is absolutely FREE! There is a small cost for the other subjects – $20-$30 per semester/per course – a very reasonable price in my opinion.
Beestar Math and Reading Review – So, how does it work?
- First, parents set up for an account for their child – kids don't just log on and start doing an exercise. When you sign up, you have to pick a school your child goes to, I just chose a random school – homeschooling isn't listed as an option.
- Beestar semesters are Fall, Spring, and Summer. Beestar follows the public school calendar and curricula for the Fall and Spring semesters, while the Summer semester prepares students for the next grade level. Even though Beestar is geared toward public school school students, it's a good fit for homeschoolers as well.
- The exercises are posted on the student's home page on Sunday and due at midnight of the next Saturday (CST). The student can work on the exercises any time during the week. Most exercises follow the standard test format with multiple-choice problems. The exercises start with basic content and as time goes by, the exercises get a little more difficult. Each exercise usually has 10 problems/questions and takes about 10 minutes to complete. Students should finish an exercise as quickly as they can in one run, uninterrupted. That's because the exercises are timed – speed is an important factor in skill mastery.
- After the student finishes an exercise, the work is graded instantly – this includes score, time taken to finish, and a review of the answers. Each question is worth 2 points, so the total score for an exercise is 20 points.
- If a child doesn't finish his/her exercises by Friday, Beestar sends the parent a friendly reminder.
- At the end of every week a report is sent to the parents. It includes the student's exercise details and statistics. Parents can see the areas needing improvement, and can help their child as necessary.
- At the end of the week, weekly honor rolls are released for all grades and subjects. Students who answer 80% of questions correctly in a week earn an honor roll ribbon. These students' placements are determined by the total amount of time they use in the exercises. Students can vividly see their achievement and share their success with parents.
- Beestar has a National Competition. The Beestar National Competition (BNC) is designed to bring students nation wide together to solve interesting problems and compete with one another. The problems in BNC are designed to both consolidate fundamental knowledge and inspire students' desire to explore. By exposing them to more interesting and mind-stretching topics, the competition problems challenge students to wonder and to research. For more info about the BNC, click here.
We really stress math in our home, so I signed my daughter up for the free math program/Summer semester. She's a fourth grader, and doing grade level work. She started right in, at week 6 (we signed up a bit late).
Beestar Math and Reading Review – Here's what happened when we reviewed the program:
You can see that she had a little difficulty with exercise 1.
After the test, when she clicked on Review Details, the program showed each question and whether she got it right (green) or incorrect (orange).
It's a little difficult to read the explanation in the screenshot as to why this was an incorrect answer, so I'll type it out for you – There are a total of 100 little squares on each of the 2 grids. There are a total of 102 little squares shaded. This means 1 full grid would be shaded with 2 little squares left over. Each little square left over equals .01. Therefore, 1.02 of the grids are shaded.
Anyway, after seeing the results on this exercise, I have to admit, I was wondering if starting at week 6 was a mistake. Was my daughter going to miss three or more questions in exercise 2?
Whew! My daughter did much better on the second exercise!
