1. Study your top achievers to understand why their results are better than other people's at their level.
2. Observe them at work to decode the steps they take—and the skills they apply—to yield results.
3. Ask them what information and support they rely on to produce excellent outcomes.
4. Use what you've learned to spread top performance throughout the ranks.

text: I am not complaining i am just wondering. A post that i posted on one of the forums was deleted but i am not sure why it was deleted. Is there anyway for finding out. What i said was alittle harsh maybe but was right on point and was put into kind of a "Suggestion" format or so i thought. The suggestion is that maybe have a PM sent to you when one of your posts is deleted with a description of what the problem was. I am new to the forums scene and i try to be somewhat respectful in what i say to people but if i am doing something wrong i would like to know what it is so that i can correct it and not do it again. I tried searching for something in my User CP saying "Your deleted posts" or something of that sort. if there is something like that already could you please point me in the right direction. Thank you so much. Love the site btw and keep up the good work Obiareus

More Country Stars to Co-Host the Today show
Yesterday I told you about Lee Brice co-hosting the Today show next week and he's not the only country star getting the gig- Josh Turner and John Rich are also returning to the co-hosting chair along with Randy Travis. Josh will be teaming up with Hoda Kotb on Monday, March 19, starting at 10:00 AM ET.
"I'm looking forward to co-hosting again with my beautiful Egyptian goddess!" jokes Josh, who had terrific chemistry with Hoda when he co-hosted last year. "It's always a blast for me."
Lee will be taking over on Tuesday followed by the legendary Randy Travis Wednesday (March 21), and John Rich on Thursday (March 22).

Most IT managers place reducing operating cost as a high priority for decreasing overall business costs. Yet they often overlook that a source of significant savings can come through highly manageable infrastructure. Find out what are the 5 characteristics your IT infrastructure should have to be highly manageable and help the bottom line.
This whitepaper focuses on IDC research into twelve different organisations the benefits of relying on a consolidated approach to protecting backup and archive data.
These interviews provided valuable insight into the realized benefits of an integrated data protection strategy
IDC analyzed the data from three interviews and compared the results with data and insights from nine other interviews conducted previously
Customer benefits realized include strong ROI and annual savings, IT staff productivity optimization, and end-user productivity improvement

The warning came as petrol prices in some Sydney outlets nudged $1 a litre. In Edgecliff yesterday, a station was charging $1.04 for a litre of premium unleaded petrol and 98.9c a litre for standard unleaded fuel.
The executive director of the association - which represents leading road service bodies such as the NRMA and RACV - Mr Lauchlan McIntosh, said: "Motorists were already paying too much for petrol and my organisation has serious concerns about the introduction of the GST on petrol prices."
Last month, as petrol prices in Sydney leapt 4.7c a litre to an average of 81.5c as world oil prices surged to a nine-year high, the Government began winding back its election promise that fuel prices "need not rise". The Treasurer, Mr Costello, admitted there were "limits" to curtailing price rises.
Unlike other taxes which will be removed with the introduction of the GST, the excise on petrol - which currently adds about 44c a litre to pump prices - will remain.
The excise will also be indexed to reflect increases in the inflation rate. That means when the inflation rate spikes to around 5 or 6 percent as a result of the GST, as has been widely predicted, the petrol excise will also increase.
And consumers are likely to continue paying more excise on their petrol for quite some time with inflation unlikely to sink much in the 12 months after the GST is introduced, according to the AAA.
"It's now expected the [inflation rate] will rise by at least 5.5 percent in the first year of the GST," Mr McIntosh said. "That sort of rise will push petrol prices up by at least 2c a litre."
And even though the Government has said it will pay petrol wholesalers a rebate - the value of which is still to be announced - it is unlikely to benefit motorists, Mr McIntosh said.
If the rebate is a fixed amount - 7c a litre was mooted when petrol was at 80c a litre - and oil prices keep surging, then petrol prices would definitely rise by more than 2c a litre, Mr McIntosh said.
And if oil prices surge, inflation will too and motorists will have to pay more excise.
With oil prices stuck at $US32 a barrel - more than three times the cost of oil a year ago - due to the restriction of world oil production, petrol prices were likely to average well above 90c during March, the AAA said.
Commonwealth Bank senior economist Mr Michael Blythe warned that rising petrol prices, plus wage claims, would also determine whether inflation rose temporarily or for a prolonged period.
"The Reserve Bank has been waving the red flag on the wages front and it is clearly a bit concerned about some of the recent agreements with GST clauses in them," Mr Blythe said. "But the impact from petrol prices feeding back into higher inflation will clearly be another concern."
However, the Service Station Association's chief executive officer, Mr Chris Hanlon, hoped that oil production would increase after world oil producers meet next month.
He said that if prices fell to $US25 a barrel "that could see falls of 5 to 10c a litre at the pump".

Not surprising for this blackhat Super affiliate and Duper merchant (affiliate posing as a merchant).Webmaster's... Mike and Charlie
"What have you done today to put real value into a referral click...from a shoppers viewpoint!"
February 23rd, 2006, 06:14 PM #3
I've already removed delivery to the following in the "search" network. Calabrex may not be part of it, but i added them to make sure ;-) This needs to be done for each campaign if you want to...no global setting that I know of.
That done, I have not been converting like I was and will have to spend some time making sure that i've done the right thing.
February 23rd, 2006, 06:36 PM #4
That's the problem Mr. B. You hate to send these clowns revenue, but at the same time, every so often (some more than others), they convert. I hate to ban all contextual too, but I've seen where the clicks come from for one my sites in particular, and it makes me unhappy. I tried disallowing just certain domains, but it becomes a full time job just to keep up with it... I hope BigDaddy helps with SOME of that...
Does anyone know if Google has the ability to pay less in AdSense revenue (smaller percentage) to a site that JUST got the traffic from an AdWords campaign?

BMW has announced price information for its new 530e iPerformance saloon.
The plug-in hybrid goes on sale this month priced from £43,985 on-the-road.
With a 9.2kWh high voltage lithium-ion battery giving a pure electric range of 29 miles, combined fuel economy of up to 141.2mph, and emissions as low as 46g/km of CO2, the new 530e iPerformance is BMW's most efficient 5 Series model ever.
The doesn't mean power has been compromised however; the combination of electric power and traditional internal combustion means a total system output of 252bhp, which is good for 155mph and 0-62mph in just 6.2 seconds. A range of almost 400 miles is achievable in real-world driving, but a 29 mile range at speeds of up to 87mph is possible using electric power alone. Power from the 184bhp engine and electric motor is directed to the rear wheels via an 8-speed Steptronic transmission which is located upstream of latter in order to enable full use of the gearbox ratios even in all-electric mode. The motor itself sits beneath the rear seat to save space, so the 530e saloon still provides 410 litres of boot capacity and a flat load floor. The 9.2kWh battery can be fully charged in less than five hours via a standard domestic power socket, and less than three hours with a 3.7kW BMW i Wallbox.
In addition to Sport, Comfort, and Eco Pro settings accessed through the Driving Experience Control switch, a separate eDrive button has been added to the 530e iPerformance. This contains three modes; AUTO eDRIVE, MAX eDRIVE, and BATTERY CONTROL. In AUTO eDRIVE an all-electric, and the mode is automatically activated as the default setting each time the vehicle is started to ensure the engine and electric motor interact to optimum effect in all driving situations. MAXeDRIVE sees the BMW 530e Saloon drive on electric power alone, up to a maximum speed of 87mph, however if the accelerator is pressed through to kickdown the engine will cut in, giving a handy boost of power when overtaking. BATTERY CONTROL mode allows the driver to manually set the charge level for the high-voltage battery, a range of between 30 and 100 per cent of maximum charge, allowing that proportion of the battery's capacity to be reserved for all-electric driving at a later point in the journey. The 530e's intelligent battery management either keeps the high-voltage battery's charge constant at the selected level or increases it to the pre-set value, with the electric motor acting as a generator. By doing so, BATTERY CONTROL mode makes it possible to conserve or even increase the reserves of electric power while travelling on the motorway, ensuring that an upcoming section through an urban area can be covered with zero local emissions.
Styling cues for the BMW 530e iPerformance saloon include blue kidney grille slats, blue wheel hub covers, and a charging socket located between the front wheel arch and driver's side A-pillar. eDrive emblems on the C pillars and 530e boot badge further distinguish the plug-in hybrid variant. Illuminated sill panels bearing eDrive lettering light up when passengers open the doors.
Like the rest of the new BMW 5 Series line-up range, the 530e iPerfomance's navigation, telephone, entertainment and vehicle functions are accessed via a high-resolution 10.25-inch display, which can be controlled by the iDrive Controller, touching the display buttons, Intelligent Voice Assistant, or BMW gesture control which reacts to simple movements of the hand or fingers. Driver assistance systems include evasion aid, crossing traffic warning, lane change assistant, and lane keeping assistant with active side collision protection, with active cruise control and option.
The model also boasts the BMW Connected system, which allows for iPhone, Apple Watch, Android smartphone, smartwatch or Amazon Echo connectivity. BMW Connected Onboard, enables personalised information such as the next navigation destination, estimated arrival time and current weather conditions at the destination to be shown on the car's display, and also able to seamlessly transfer the user's personal agenda for the day from their smartphone straight to their car, so the next destination can be accepted with a single click. Surround View and 3D View displays a bird's-eye view of the driver's car as well as a three-dimensional image of the traffic situation, perfect for congested urban motoring. Remote 3D View even allows smartphone users to quickly check on their parked car no matter how far away it is. In an industry first, the 530e iPerfomance offers Microsoft Office 365 users a secure server connection for exchanging and editing emails, calendar entries and contact details through a built-in Microsoft Exchange function.

The fact that Cape Town is one of the world's premier holiday destinations has created somewhat of a problem for tourists, albeit one of the most pleasant problems any tourist can encounter, namely what should you do and see when visiting Cape Town?
In this article we are listing the top 12 best things to do in Cape Town. In fact, the visitor to Cape Town is spoilt for choice with almost an embarrassment of riches in the form of nature reserves, museums, world-class beaches, theatres, art galleries, coffee shops, an internationally famous bakery, the oldest building in South Africa in the form of the Castle of Good Hope, stunningly beautiful scenery on one of the world's most scenic drives along Chapman's Peak, the iconic Robben island, and for the wine connoisseur, easy access to the world's longest and oldest wine route that passes a mere twenty minutes from the city center.
Activity 1) Full day Wine Tasting Tour.
To lovers of the vine- and its fruits, a proper, full day wine tasting tour is the quintessential Cape Town experience. However, the manner in which the wine lands are explored is as much fun as the wine tasting itself, and one way to experience the wine lands is to go on a cycling tour through some of the most beautiful wine country in the world.
Guided cycling tours through the wine lands is fast becoming the most popular way to experience the wine culture of the Cape. Cycling tours vary between a half day, during which 3-4 estates are visited, to extended, two-day tours during which up to eight estates are visited. Extended tours include equipment hire, overnight accommodation, entrance fees, and meals. Tour operators offer a wide variety of tour options that will appeal to all levels of fitness, area, and wine type preferences.
Another way to explore the wine lands around Franschhoek, which is less than an hour's drive from Cape Town, is by tram. This guided tour that takes in iconic estates such as Dieu Donnè, Haute Cabrière, Chamonix, and Grande Provence as well as the beautiful Huguenot Museum, uses a replica of an 1890 Brill Tram to clickety-clack around the circular route. Join or leave the tour at any stop, but chances are you will want to do the route over and over again.
Activity 2) Full Day Whale Watching and Seaside Tour.
One of the great pleasures of travelling around Cape Town is to experience the frolicking of the pods of Southern Right whales off the coast at Hermanus during the months of June to December. This is when the whales congregate in the area in large numbers, and several tour operators offer full day whale watching and coastline tour packages. Some tour operators are licensed to approach to within a few hundred meters of the whales in boats, which gives the word "exhilarating", a new meaning altogether.
Since the time whales can be viewed from boats is limited by law, most tour operators also provide full day tours along the coast, through picture-pretty towns like Gordon's Bay, Pringle Bay, and Betty's Bay. During the whale season, spectacular sightings of whale pods can be had from dedicated look-out spots along the route, so bring plenty of spare batteries for cameras and video equipment.
Some tours also include visits to the famous Harold Porter Botanical Garden, as well as the to the Fernkloof Nature Reserve and Sir Lowry's Pass.
Enjoy this ultimate excursion of Whale Watching In Hermanus & Wine and get-up close with the great whales!
Activity 3) Half Day Guided Township Tour.
Even though the vast majority of South Africans live in townships, and thus not in the main centers proper, up until 1994 these areas were closed books to tourists and locals alike. While there are many tour operators who offer tours to these disadvantaged areas across the country today, it is in Cape Town where the visitor has the best opportunity to experience the daily lives of the majority of South Africans because of the rich cultural diversity of the area.
While tours are offered to many different areas, the best tours are guided, interactive tours that let visitors into the homes and lives of residents. Visitors are encouraged to engage with locals in their taverns, homes, businesses, restaurants and bars, and it is only after such an experience that the visitor can even begin to understand the extent to which apartheid had fragmented South Africa on both physical and emotional levels. An interactive township tour is a definite must-do activity on any Cape Town tour.
Activity 4) Cape of Good Hope Private Tours.
For the first-time visitor, there is no better way to see the Mother City than with the help and guidance of a private tour guide. To be sure, prices vary, as do tour itineraries, but licensed and certified tour guides take all the hassle out of getting around in a strange city and culture. Most private tours include the usual attractions like the Castle, the Company Gardens, favorite markets and the like, but some allow for some leeway in the itinerary- depending of course on the provider, and the number of participants.
Nonetheless, a private tour with a certified guide and a luxurious, air–conditioned vehicle is without doubt one of the most pleasant ways to get an introduction to one of the world's most iconic cities.
Activity 5) Camps Bay
Many of Cape Town's best attractions are free, and the beach at Camps Bay is one such attraction, and one that offers unsurpassed opportunities for people watching. However, the Atlantic Ocean along this stretch of coastline is too cold for bathing- so instead, investigate the several dozen cozy restaurants, coffee shops, market stalls, and buzzing bars along the beachfront. Moreover, the area is sheltered from the incessant winds that occur during some parts of the year, which makes it the ideal spot to enjoy classic cocktails at sunset before indulging in some of the finest dining to be had in South Africa in one of the many gourmet restaurants in the immediate area.
Camps Bay is located just south of the world-famous Clifton Beach, and can be accessed via the M6 freeway, or Camps Bat Drive, also known locally as the M62 freeway.
Activity 6) The District Six Museum.
Before 1966, District Six was a perfect blend of races, cultures, cuisines, and religions. However, during 1966, the area was declared a "white area" under the infamous Group Areas Act, and considerably more than 60 000 people were forcibly removed to the sandy wastelands of the Cape Flats. This action also wiped out 300 years of history, which the District Six Museum is now trying to revive by exhibiting photographs, documents, publications, books, music, and recorded interviews of erstwhile residents.
A visit to this museum, which is located just a short distance from the vibrant Green Market Square, is a must for all who wish to understand the history of Cape Town, and by extension, South Africa as a whole. However, the experience can be sombre and disturbing, so be prepared to be moved. Tours of the remains of the original District Six are offered by knowledgeable and informed guides as well.
Activity 7) Castle of Good Hope.
To many in South Africa, the Castle of Good Hope is still the symbol of a hated political regime, but for all that, it is still the oldest building in South Africa. Constructed by the Dutch East India Company in the late 1600's, the castle served as the military and administrative centre of the Cape Colony. Still partly occupied by the military establishment, the Castle also accommodates several museums, and tours of these are offered by horse-drawn carriages, as well as walking tours by informed guides- among which the tour of the Castle's dungeons is extremely popular.
Visitors are also welcome to witness the Key Ceremony, which although it is not as spectacular as the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, is the South African version of a changing of the guard. The ceremony takes place at around noon, with the noon signal being produced by the firing of a vintage cannon from atop Signal Hill.
Tours of the Castle of Good Hope is available every day from 9 am to 4 pm, while the Key Ceremony takes place Monday to Friday at 10 am and noon.
Activity 8) Robben Island.
Robben Island, which is located a few miles off the Southern Cape coast, is without doubt one of the most iconic prisons in the world. It was never a happy place- the island, which is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, started out as a military base, than it became a leper colony, then it housed a mental hospital, and most famously in recent times, it was the prison in which Nelson Mandela and other Struggle leaders spent many years.
Robben Island is only accessible by ferry, for which advance booking are recommended, and the experience of walking through the cell-blocks in which Mandela was incarcerated has been described as "a sobering, and humbling experience." Tours include a look at the equipment used by the security police to spy on inmates, as well as a visit to the limestone quarry where inmates sat breaking rocks for hours each day.
Activity 9) Bo-Kaap. (Malay Quarter)
Like Camps Bay and Clifton beaches, a visit to the colorful houses of the Malay Quarter is also free. Located at the bottom of Signal Hill, the brightly colored houses of the Muslim community offers unparalleled photo opportunities. The descendants of the original Malay slaves brought to the Cape from Indonesia, several African countries, and Malaysia, the current residents still practice their age-old cuisines, and many stalls along the streets offer authentic Malay street food for sale. Some tour operators also include a cooking tour through the area, and knowledgeable guides will give tourists the best possible induction into the culture of Cape cooking and food.
Here is the only place in South Africa where tourists can learn how to properly fold a samosa, or how to construct a curry without using curry from a box.
However, this is a residential neighbourhood, so do not expect many shopping opportunities. The area is easily accessible from all of the major beaches, as well as from the Victoria and Albert Waterfront. Be sure to visit the small museum there, and although the area is accessible at night, take suitable security measures to prevent getting mugged.
Activity 10 ) Dive With Great White Sharks.
On a scale of one to ten, the adrenalin rush one gets from diving with great man-eating sharks is off the charts. However, even though all responsible tour operators operate in a safe, and responsible environment, the experience is not for the timid or faint-of-heart. Dive operations take place in sturdy steel cages, and due regard is taken of the fact that many, if not most participants have no diving experience. Cages are thus only lowered to just below the surface, and the sharks lose no time in coming over to investigate the intrusion.
Touching sharks is strictly forbidden, but the rush of looking a man eating predator in the eye is something that any participant will remember for the rest of his/her life. Guaranteed.
Activity 11) Charly's Bakery.
This is the only bakery in South Africa that has ever been the subject of a TV show. Part documentary, and part reality show, the series dubbed Charly's Cake Angels, recounts the lives, successes, and failures of the staff of this iconic confectionary paradise. However, don't be fooled by the hype- this bakery has been concocting sweets, cakes, and controversy since 1989, and is well worth a visit since its extensive range of sweet treats rivals anything any other major world city has to offer.
While most of their recipes are virtual state secrets, Charly's Bakery specializes in genuine South African cakes and sweets. However, do not visit when you are hungry; the temptation to sample everything on their shelves might just result in unwanted pounds around the waist!
Activity 12) First Thursdays.
Another of Cape Town's free attractions is First Thursdays. On the first Thursday of each month, all of the city's several dozen art galleries and arts supply stores remain open until 9 pm, hence the name "First Thursday". Moreover, all cultural events on this day are also free to attend, and while there is no official tour, fixed schedules or guides, the area around Bree and Church Streets is transformed into a huge, and unforgettable cultural experience.
Since the event covers much of the city centre, and there are too many events and galleries to visit in one day, it is recommended that visitors do some advance planning to take advantage of special interests or the weather, which can vary from pleasant to downright uncomfortable. However, except for the month of January, First Thursday happens every first Thursday of every month, regardless of the weather, so indulge in the rich cultural environment of the Mother City at no charge!
Once Is Not Enough!
There you have it- although the few activities and attractions listed here are but a small sampling of what Cape Town has to offer the imaginative and enterprising tourist. Cape Town is known the world over as a world in one city, and for very good reason- it caters for all interests, budgets, itineraries, but most of all, Cape Town is family friendly. Accommodations range from luxurious 5 star hotels, to budget B+B establishments, and while it is possible to explore the city on one's own, the best way to see and experience the cultural diversity of this iconic city is to take it slowly- one day at a time, and if one day is not enough, Cape Town and its people will be glad to have you back- as many times as you can find the time for!

David Devries switches seamlessly between different characters' points of view in a performance of post-apocalyptic, comic, zombie fiction that begins with a "gas leak" forcing the National Guard to clear Seattle. But not everyone leaves. Among those struggling for survival in this other "Emerald City" (envisioned by Timothy W. Long, whose other works include The Zombie Wilson Diaries) are a troubled journalist, serial killer, death rock singer, and dealer, who adapts his business to a new clientele demanding lead instead of dope. Each living Seattleite is seeking hope and salvation as a spreading virus returns the dead to upright positions.
The dead walk. Now the real battle for Seattle has begun. When a gas leak causes the National Guard to forcibly evacuate the neighborhood, Lester isn't going anywhere. The former dope pusher has a new clientele… the kind that require him to deal lead instead of drugs.
Mike, a newspaper reporter, suspects a conspiracy lies behind the chaos. He's driven to find the truth, even if it means dragging his beautiful co-worker into danger. Kate has a dark secret: she's a budding young serial killer. As society collapses, her skill in dealing death may be the one thing that can keep her alive. These survivors, along with others, are drawn together in their quest to find not only the truth behind the spreading apocalypse, but also to escape the madness they face at every turn.

"Mr. Long is defiantly a writer to watch and Among the Living is definitely a zombie novel to check out." (HorrorNews.net)
"The Beginning of Something Brilliant!"
In the top 5%
Night of the Undead, it is also one of the best "Beginning of the Plague" books out there.
I have read a lot of Zombie fiction over the years and this one sits near the very type. Among the Living is without a doubt one of the three best zombie stories that chronicle the initial rise of the dead that I have ever read. I can't say which is the best because they are all damn good. The characters are the thing that I love best about the book, both the primary and the secondary players resonate as true.
I have zero compunction recommending this book to any zombie fan.
"Much better than BEYOND THE BARRIER but..."
I found the story and characters to be much more solid than one of Wong's other books "Beyond the Barrier" but it wasn't as strong as some of the other zombie books I've read. The main issue I had, without giving any spoilers, was that the end was very abrupt and extremely anticlimactic. I felt a little cheated. The main characters were reasonably likable and the story flow was decent. The narrator's performance was solid. Overall I'd rate it average. Not my favorite but definitely not the worst.
"Guilty pleasure zombie book...... thumbs up"
Zombie books are a guilty pleasure for me. The characters are interesting and keep you involved. If you like the "ZOMBIE APOCOLYPSE" storyline, you should enjoy this
"Good story, decent reading except ONE thing..."
The reading was pretty good except one thing: The voice he did for Angela was AWFUL. It was grating, annoying, and REALLY didn't seem to fit the character at all.
"A Good Start to An Interesting Story"
The story is told as vignettes of characters during the zombie apocalypse breakout in Seattle. Each is well drawn and interesting, especially when one of the most sympathetic is the local pot dealer. Go Lester!
I am most definitely continuing onto part 2. This is too good to not, as well as the team was left facing certain doom, or at least a butt-load of deaders.
Lester and Angela were my favorite, followed by Kate. Gotta love good swordplay. They were played well, with the females not all coming across falsetto as some readers do. I found them believable.
Almost one sitting. I would have listened to another 6 to 8 hours without a problem.
This might be a bit of a spoiler, so read on at your peril! I'm a bit disappointed in that two of the interesting female characters, that we spent much of the story developing and investing in, were killed off. Now I understand that we need to have emotional investment and have the peril be real, but really. That seemed a bit excessive for both, when I'd have been happy with one or the other. Well, not happy, but at least not feeling cheated. This is why I gave the Story only 3 stars. Otherwise a worthy entry in the Zom canon.
"Save your credit"
this book might be acceptable for someone new to the genre.
Yes, but I would try to sample before buying.
The story was over drawn and over extended with so many characters that I needed a notepad to track.
"Not bad but not great"
some of the things that happen in this book are just not even needed and just seem to drag along...there is only one character that i even wanted to hear about and that was kate the rest are just mindless and boring parts of the book
i think a book just about kate would make a good book :)
Some of the characters voices are really bad and get annoying....
i see every zombie movie...but liking it or not ......
needed more action and character development.
"Not so different"
Another zombie story that is a little ho-hum. Nothing really new to add to the Genre. I liked the story as I like most zombie stories, but not so different.
"what a waste of money"
i realy liked his other book beyind barriers. this book is not even much of a zombie story. a lot of x rated moments thrown in for some reason.more focus on the pot smokeing drug dealers and how much sex they have. then detail on the zombies and there is bondage in there as well the parts where they do talk about zombies does very little to intrest. i am sad that the author went from a good book. to this i wont be geting any more Timothy Long titles again.

A modern surgery center, opened in 2010, specializing in elective surgeries. Medical procedures carriedout at the center include general surgery, urology, pediatrics, orthopedics, oncology, plastic and cosmetic surgery, ophthalmology, pain management.
PRK Surgery
upon request
This information is intended for general information only and should not be considered as medical advice on the part of Health-Tourism.com. Any decision on medical treatments, after-care or recovery should be done solely upon proper consultation and advice of a qualified physician.
What is PRK Surgery?
PRK surgery, or PhotoRefractive Keratectomy, is a type of laser surgery to correct moderate nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. PRK surgery reshapes the cornea with a laser so that light is more effectively focused on the retina to improve vision.
How is PRK Surgery carried out?
PRK surgery, unlike LASIK eye surgery, does not use a knife or cutting laser to create a flap in the cornea. Instead, PRK surgery removes a thin layer of the cornea's surface and reshapes the surface of the cornea to correct the vision.
What are the chances of success with PRK Surgery?
According to WebMD, PRK surgery is accurate in correcting cases of nearsightedness and around 80 percent of PRK participants have 20/20 vision one year after surgery.
How popular is PRK in comparison to LASIK?
PRK surgery is less popular than LASIK eye surgery as LASIK generally results in faster, more comfortable and more predictable healing.

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hello, this is the key way to use Mordekaiser and his abilities to the maximum potential.
Mordekaiser really is a skill based champion and you need to be offensive and practically a Bully. Mordekaiser is rarely countered or killed because of his passive, the strongest of the Game really.
I guess you can say, "The best Defense is your Offense"
So we are gonna work around his Passive ; Iron Man
Masteries can pretty go much about ANYTHING. in terms of getting Ability power or strengthening it.
I chose only Armor runes for those AD champions that love to get in your face and deliver WAY too much damage for your passive to handle at low level.
Everything else should be Ability power or you may swap your marks for Magic PEN
The items that I chose give you a good amount of defense and HIGH-Ability power damage or effects in return.
*Abyssal scepter for your close range MR reduction to enemies and gives you MR as well to those high nuke champions like Viegar or Ryze.
1) *Zhonia's hourglass is a item that EVERY ap should have. it gives armor and 100AP!
perfect for those adc's damage to slow down and when your Cool-downs are off use it, Mordekaiser really cannot afford to get hit without his Passive charged.
2) *Will of the Ancients is finished at the end of game because at the moment you need more AP than ANYTHING. which is why you merely get hex-tech revolver for the Spell-vamp for yourself. at the end game when team fights determine the game you should have it to assist your team.
3) *Rabadons death-cap - You want this item as fast as possible. its great for you, it really helps that "Defense is by your strongest offense" meaning. High AP at the start is AMAZING for you.
4) *Rylai's crystal scepter is just for the HP and the Built-in slow. You wanna catch those ad carries , you wanna be the clean-up crew guy. with ONE hit their fate is sealed beneath your hands for another Children of the Grave
5) *Lich Bane (Last chance of success)- Just in case you are desperate, pick up LichBane and 1-shot the enemy adc with a Flash+ignite Q>E>R Combo. This at end game guarantees 1000 damage with your Q and almost secures victory in team fight.
6) *Liandras Torment Okay, I use this for burning down Tanks Health, the HORRID Mundo players, Renekton, Nasus, Darius. This MELTS enemies with large HP and also, TICKS WITH YOUR ULTIMATE. That's right :) it is re-applied and works perfectly.
Skill Sequence
Siphon of Destruction - As you can tell, your E is your main source of damage. If you miss this the fight is basically ALL over. with this you can charge ironman passive in about one hit using this.It is a wide mid-range attack that extends its portrait design (look closely at it and u can see faded blue extend it boundaries) hence the reason people say "wtf that didn't hit me!"
Mace of Spades - Really this is just to help sustain your Passive, it is a hybrid source of damage and only delivers a REAL good punch after you enslave a AD player. Note that it does More damage to a single target and is delivered as a auto-attack. ALSO! *very important* it resets your attack timer. (after u just auto attack, when you press Q , it will strike again immediately)
Creeping Death - This is a big one, this is your defensive that makes mordekaiser look like a tank because it gives you bonus armor and Magic resistance, Nearby targets take damage per secound AND!*important* you can toss it on allies champions/yourself/minions . if u wanna kill steal than toss it on your ad Melee carry or on yourself as it does generate Iron man passive .
Children of the GRAVE! - Ok this is what separates Mordekaiser from ALL the other champions, when you use this, your steal 24%(AP increases amount, usually over 30 when your maxed out on items) over 10 seconds. If your enemy target is killed within that time you get them as your slave for approximately 30 seconds. Stealing a percentage of their AP and AD. (hence why getting a pet turns you GOD-LIKE)
It is very important to have your pet target someone as this pet also generates Iron Man passive shield for you by doing dmg. ( ALL PASSIVES WORK ON YOUR PET! such as blitzcranks shield, Nocturne cleave, darius bleeds..etc) That is why you have flash, to run and jump on enemy adc to kill him with ignite, ult and E+Q combo! this is almost a 1shot for squishies and then you have a KILLER pet with amazing dmg and you can practically 5v1.
Summoner Spells
Flash- helps you chase or escape.
Ignite - its the BEST combo with your ulti and it stops bastard adc from healing when your at his face.
Exhaust- when ur team is full on ignites. OR bonus dmg since it reduces their MR and attack.
Ghost- awesome if you dont have flash yet, the same thing tbh, i use it for 3's
Farming! *IMPORTANT*
OK farming is the best thing you can do for Mordekaiser, i usually finish games with 200-300 (one time 400) Creep scores.
Farming is your advantage cause Mordekaiser actually does the most Area-of-Effect damage of the entire game. so farming the jungle is AMAZING. once you get your spell-vamp go push your lane all the way then go farm the golems or wraiths or ANYTHING available. CS is your best friend as Ability Power champs scale with Levels+Items.
dies on stuns and silence (like seriously, who doesnt?)
other than that there really isn't anything!

Today, erectile dysfunction has become a growing problem in men. In fact, if it occurs due to old age, it could be seen as normal but if it occurs at a young age then it could wreck love life.
Also Read: Reasons Why Men Wake Up With An Erection
Does hypnosis cure erectile dysfunction? Well, this problem could be causes both by physical factors and psychological factors.
For example, if you are able to achieve firmness when you are alone but failing to get the hardness when you are with your partner then the reason is purely psychological.
Also Read: Are You Bleeding After Intercourse? Here Are 7 Reasons
It could mean that your mind isn't in relaxed state when you are with your partner and this is causing the erection issue. So, in such a case hypnosis might work.
Fact #1
Some health experts say that even in cases where a man fails in bed purely due to physical conditions like poor blood circulation, the role of mind in love making can't be ruled out totally.
Fact #2
A percentage of men who tried hypnosis report some level of improvement in their bed life over a period of time.
Fact #3
People with cardiovascular conditions, arterial issues, hypertension, and unhealthy cholesterol levels may find it tough to gain an erection. Though hypnosis may not help them completely, they may still try it out.
Fact #4
Diabetes and certain nerve related issues could also cause the issue. Also, those who smoke and drink excessively tend to suffer ED. The reason why they can try hypnosis is because of the fact that erections need brain signals first. The body then follows the orders of the brain. So, if there is any issue from the side of brain, hypnosis may deal with that.
Fact #5
Purely psychological reasons for failure include past failures in bed, fear, shame, guilt, lack of love, stress and more. Hypnosis can address such issues well.
Fact #6
When ED occurs mainly due to anxiety and stress, hypnosis can help in relaxing the person and this may help in great deal.

If you hate driving behind the wheel, you'd be glad to know that self driving are no longer the stuff of the distant future. The future of self driving cars is being made The likes of BMW, Mercedes,and Tesla have previously launched, or are soon to produce, self-driving features that provide cars some self-driving abilities.
But it's not just the car manufacturing giants that are on this path. Tech giants like Google are also attempting to pioneer the self-driving vehicle. Lately, Google announce that it might be testing its prototype of the driverless vehicle on streets this summer time in California.
For all intents and purposes, it's entirely possible for us to see self-driving vehicle on the road within the next 5 years. Of course, how this impacts the economy and the future of driving in general is something that leave to the expert analysts.
However, there is one report that indicates the future of self driving cars is here today. According to one report we read, self-driving cars aren't some advanced auto technology. You will find cars with self-driving features on the highway today. We define the self-driving vehicle as a vehicle with features that let it accelerates, brakes, and steers a course with limited or no interaction with the driver at all.
The self-driving car be divided into two different types: the semi-autonomous and the fully autonomous. A totally autonomous car can drive to your destination and tackle all on-road situations without the need for interaction with the driver. This type of car will debut in 2019.
You can expect to see nearly ten million fully autonomous cars in the very new future.
Fully autonomous cars are further split into user-operated and driverless automobiles. Due to regulating and insurance questions, user-operated fully autonomous cars might come within the following 5 years, while driverless cars will arrive further down the road.
The greatest advantages of self-driving cars are that they'll help make streets safer. Within the United Kingdom, it is estimated that the total number of deaths by self-driving cars will be no more than 2,500 within sixteen years.
However the obstacles to self-driving cars remain significant. The cost of owning this car must be lowered and rules need to be defined prior to selling them to mainstream customers.
However, there's every indication that people are ready for this technology. Research shows that young individuals are less inclined to drive their own cars.

The field of prosthetics, orthotics, and orthopedic devices is a wide ranging one. There are many variables at play here, with many surgical, medical, and therapeutic components. A patient in need of a new limb or an assistive device to aid an injured one due to fracture should get a referral from their primary care doctor. They then make an appointment with an artificial limb specialist, surgeon, or practitioner.
The first person the patient will speak with is the receptionist. This person should have a friendly, outgoing personality, and accommodate each patient's needs in terms of setting up appointments and getting health insurance information. During the initial meeting, the doctor will go over the entire procedure and what supplies, equipment, tools, and materials are involved. A hospital or medical center stay is usually required after surgery, whether the surgery involves arm, leg, foot, arm, or joint replacement.
A physical therapist is usually brought in to assist with the recovery and healing process, whether for spine or neck correction or some other procedure. They often support the patient in learning to walk normally again, as in the case of an orthopedic appliance for the leg bone. Physical therapists must attend schooling to obtain a degree in this area, then they must pass a licensing exam. On-the-job training is usually required at a hospital or clinic in the form of an apprenticeship. Many choose a specialty, such as neurology, orthopedics, or sports medicine.
Doctors purchase their artificial limb equipment, materials, and supplies from manufacturers and distributors of such products. Many companies have websites where doctors and even patients can view the various makes and models of orthotics and orthopedic appliances to select the best one for their needs.

2013 Summer Sickness Tour
Authority Zero
Versus the World, Set Fire to Reason, Nightcap
Reggies Rock Club
2109 South State St
Chicago, IL, 60616
This event is all ages
Watch & Listen
Mesa, AZ based punk rock royalty Authority Zero has managed to weather the music industry storm and endure living on the road away from friends and loved ones for almost 2 decades. With four studio albums under their belt, two live acoustic albums, and two EP's, they appear to be just getting started. Over the past few years the band has broke ground internationally, beginning with shows in Japan, followed by performances at Belgium's legendary Groezrock, Spain's Resurrection Fest and UK's Rebellion Fest amongst countless other European festivals. With tours through Russia and Australia in the works, Authority Zero continues to seek new destinations to spread their live show and music.
Initially their goal was simple; create a sound that paid tribute to their punk rock forefathers, but not confined by the musical barriers that typically bound the genre together. Now,18 years later, they have just wrapped on their fifth full-length studio album. Named after the Malcolm Gladwell book, The Tipping Point was recorded with producer Cameron Webb (Pennywise, Social Distortion, Motorhead etc.) at Maple Studios in California. Their latest effort pays tribute to their punk rock forefathers while expanding their musical boundaries into unconventional reggae and rock tinges beyond the typical punk rock aesthetics, creating a whirlwind rock album that will undoubtedly take listeners by storm.
The new album is set to be released on April 2nd via Hardline Entertainment-US/Canada/Japan, Concrete Jungle-Europe/UK and 3wise Records-Australia and will be followed by a heavy touring schedule around the globe. Lead Singer and Front Man, Jason DeVore says "The excitement and anticipation for the new album The Tipping Point that I have is unparalleled," says vocalist Jason DeVore. "The closest thing I can think of is how I felt when we first released A Passage In Time so many years ago. You feel you're really doing something right when you and the members of your band are rocking out to it like it's their new favorite album that just came out. That's how it should feel. The energy, the intensity, and collaborative sounds along with a new realm of production working with Cameron Webb has made it extremely intense. It's a taste of the old school and slingshots into new areas and veins of music we have yet to tap into. We've also incorporated some surprise elements. It's an album based on the idea of tipping the scales, unity, causing a ruckus while forging on, and the history and future of all who have been involved and will be for years to come. We're fired up."
Eighteen years into their storied career began and Authority Zero has seen their fair share of ups-and-downs. After original guitarist and longtime friend Bill Marcks left the band in 2008, members have seemed to come and go, but the band and music has carried on. Recently, after the release of their last album, Stories of Survival, guitarist Zach Vogel departed the band to return to his home in Wisconsin for more family time. Shortly after that and with the turn of the New Year in 2011, long time friend and drummer Jim Wilcox also left the band to pursue other endeavors.
At this point, many bands would have folded under the pressure of lineup changes and setbacks, but the rest of the band carried on by inviting new recruits and Amarillo, TX native Brandon Landelius on guitar along with legendary punk drummer, Sean Sellers (Good Riddance, Real McKenzies) on drums to restructure and complete the group. With their fifth studio album The Tipping Point, Authority Zero is determined to carry on with perseverance and dedication to spread their music and message to fans around the globe.
Versus the World is a punk rock band from Santa Barbara, CA on Kung-Fu Records. The band combines post-hardcore with pop punk. They released their debut album, "Versus the World", in September 2005. Mike Davenport was the long time bassist from The Ataris. Versus The World formed in the back of The Ataris old record store ("Down On Haley"). Prior to being called Versus The World, Mike Davenport and Donald Spence did a few acoustic shows under the band name "Pencapchew" to fill time between their current projects. They have also made a music video for one of their song "Is There No End". They have toured the US and Europe with bands such as No Use For A Name, Suicide Machines, Bouncing Souls, The Lawrence Arms, Social Distortion, I Am The Avalanche, and the Vans Warped Tour. They have a song entitled "Blue and Cold" on the Vans Warped Tour Taste of Christmas compilation. In August 2010, VTW announced their return, lending members from Crooks and Liars (Bryan Charlson-Drums) and Lagwagon (Chris Flippin-Guitar). Their song "Forgive Me" is featured on WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007.

While T-Mobile's Binge-On service seems like an attractive offer because of the free video streaming, this Un-Carrier move has raised a number of concerns and complaints from different groups. For one, YouTube complained that the company is downgrading video streaming quality. T-Mobile was then quick to reply that it's not downgrading YouTube videos as they are just mobile optimized.
We all know that data throttling is discouraged especially in the United States but apparently, it's still being practiced by some. The carrier said this "optimizing" the videos are for Binge On customers only but someone noted that it's also being applied to all videos. This means even non-Binge On customers are receiving lower-res videos by default. The idea seems okay to some people but there are people who prefer to watch and are willing to pay for hi-res videos. Unfortunately, T-Mobile is doing the optimization throughout the network to stretch the customers' data while video streaming. Resolution is usually 480p according to some users.
Even EFF, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, got curious about the issue and so they decided to do some tests. The results confirmed that this "optimization" is simply throttling. EFF posted a video on a service and accessed it under different conditions and methods using a T-Mobile LTE connection–using a Binge-On account. To be specific, analysts performed four tests:
(1) Streaming a video embedded in a webpage using HTML5 ("Streaming in Browser")
(2) Downloading a video file to the phone's SD card ("Direct Download")
(3) Downloading a video file to the phone's SD card but wit filename and the HTTP response headers changed to indicate it was not a video file ("Direct Download, Non-Video File Extension")
(4) Downloading a large non-video file for comparison ("Direct Non-Video Download")
Data shouldn't be complicated to understand but it's clear that T-Mobile throttles video streaming when Binge On is activated. This is by default because even if the device can download files at higher speeds, the result still showed an obvious throttling under various conditions like being downloaded directly, via tethering, for later viewing, etc.
Using another test, EFF also discovered that the carrier still throttle downloads even if filename and HTTP headers already say it's not a video file. This means the default action is to "throttle". AT&T already confirmed that they can "detect video-specific protocols/patterns" when asked how they are able identify video streams.
EFF also discovered that this optimization by T-Mobile only means video throttling to 1.5Mbps and not always 480p. If video is more than 480p, the effect is just uneven streaming or stuttering. Once again, T-Mobile just confirmed that they "don't do any actual optimization of video streams other than reducing the bandwidth allocated to them".
Too many observations but bottomline is– this "optimization" that T-Mobile is doing is just throttling and that it actually applies to all videos under various circumstances.
EFF was kind enough to contact T-Mobile for clarification. The latter then confirmed that they only reduce the bandwidth and don't do actual optimization of video streams. This is contrary to T-Mobile's initial response that they are just downgrading or mobile optiizing the videos–NOT data throttling. EFF noted that there's no downgrading either because based on the results, streaming of videos are capped at a standard of 1.5Mbps for all videos. The same things happen even if a device or plan is capable of higher speeds.
The EFF suggested that T-Mobile work on this issue before FCC makes a move. FCC is then encouraged to check on this and step in before it's too late. T-Mobile must be held accountable for its behavior. Regulations are there to be imposed and followed.
We'll be keeping track of this issue so stay tuned.

In India, we have a media which is known for its patriotic zeal but strangely, this perenially over-excited group has remained mostly quiet on the attack on Adivasi rights activist and Aam Aadmi Party leader Soni Sori in Chhattisgarh on February 20.
Tribal activist Soni Sori faced a gruesome attack; yet hardly there was any coverage on her pain
Sori was attacked with an acid-like substance which left her injured. Her motorcycle-borne assailants are yet to be traced. It is believed that the attack was part of a bigger campaign in Bastar district of the mineral-rich central Indian state to drive out those who dare to ask uncomfortable questions to the government.
Yet, the media, which has felt so much disturbed by a group of students' slogans in a university campus, has largely chosen to ignore it. If the students who were expressing dissent over the functioning of the State are "anti-nationals", wasn't the attack on an Indian who fights for the rights of her compatriots anti-national, too?
Anybody questioning the authorities are being targeted
Besides activists, journalists, scholars and lawyers are being hounded out of the state where the nexus between the State and mining corporates has left free speech crippled. The police also ordered Sori to leave Bastar but the iron-hearted avtivist refused to do so and continued her fight for the Adivasis who have fallen victims to the State versus Left extremism battle in these parts.
Sori reportedly faced atrocity in the police custody in late 2011 but despite the odds, she has been leading a movement which has taken on the State over killing of Adivasis in fake encounters, arbitrary arrests, torture and sexual assault of their women by the police and security forces. She planned to undertake a 200-km march from Bijapur, which was set to end in Jagdalpur on March 8, the International Women's Day, but was attacked before it materialised.
Soni is recovering and refuses to lose, which is a great news
But Sori's assailants and those who masterminded the attack would be disheartened to know that she is recovering and has promised to return to Bastar. Sori's struggle inspires everyone of us but the media of this country, which has shamelessly joined hands with elements who have taken refuge under the Tricolour to criminalise dissent and control free speech.
The attack on Sori is a similar effort to criminalise and silence dissent, which is an indispensible part of a democracy but the media chooses to look away and ignores its basic duty of raising awareness about the reality in parts of the country that are far too remote from the middle-class's drawing rooms.
Why media doesn't find interest in Soni Soris?
The mass media deliberatly ignores the plight of Soni Soris for a number of reasons.
Has corporate control left the media without a backbone?
First, the corporates' control over the mass media ensures that issues that are not consistent with the business lobbies' interests do not get a space they deserve. Our prime time shows on news channels hardly take up the issue of land grabbing, be it in any state and that is not without a reason. They pick up whistle-blowing individuals at the most but never really focus on the deeper roots of the problems.
The news channels are so obsessed with party politics today that they forget their basic duty towards the society
Second, the highly opinionated bosses of today's electronic media shamelessly serve the middle-class by constantly generating a negative wave directed at one particular party or another. This obsession with party politics turns them blind towards issues that concern human well-being and demand a social panacea. These journalists, if they are at all, know that their hollow business of raising the TRPs will only run as long as they bash a Modi or a Mamata or a Rahul Gandhi because their viewers hate politicians. But then, what about the basic duty that the media is supposed to do: Creating mass awareness?
Editorial heads are mediocre in identifying crucial issues and build on them; they are happy with a clerical way of functioning
Thirdly, the media today is in a state of decay and those who run it are mediocre in identifying issues and build up on them. The editors and their foot soldiers act more like intellectual clerks (though they are neither intellectuals nor clerks) who survive more on corporate or political affiliations and mostly do not have the guts to pursue the cases of Soni Soris and others who are regularly put to torture and deprived of their basic rights. They instead focus on bashing students, who they know are helpless to retaliate.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner married life does not seem to get stable anytime soon. The duo has been trying hard to save their marriage. But now, it seems impossible.
The cheating scandal of Ben with their former nanny Christine Ouzounian surfaced in 2015. And everyone thought that Ben-Jen would get separated soon. But they were often seen together. Especially, for the sake of their children. This even sometimes sparked rumors of their reconciliation.
Ben Affleck's New Scandal
It was also assumed that Jennifer Garner may forgive Ben. But new reports claim that the Batman V Superman star has cheated on his wife again. And this time with his Live By Night co-star Zoe Saldana.
Ben's attraction towards Saldana is sure to create more problems between the ex-couple. The rumors about Ben and Saldana's relationship sparked after they filmed an intimate kidding scene for their movie, reports Morning News USA.

The Daredevil actress Saldana said in an interview that working in a gangster movie was out of her imagination. But she got inspired by just knowing that she would work with Ben Affleck.
Ben understands situations and feelings of an actor. And he behaves in a "friendlier, leveled and relaxed manner," she added.
Is Ben-Jen Reconciliation Possible?
Garner is reportedly pregnant now. And Ben seems to have quit his party lifestyle to get together with Jen. He is also spending ample amount of time with the family.
However, the pregnancy news of Jen with Ben's fourth child is not yet confirmed. They have already three children together- Samuel (4), Seraphina (7) and Violet (10).
Recent reports also claim that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner spent the Thanksgiving Day together with their kids at home. Even the parents of Garner joined them.
Meanwhile, all these are just rumors and mere speculations as nothing is officially confirmed yet.
