Hence you will need to do your research into what is involved in your exact method and whether the plastic surgery is reconstructive or appealing. It is a moral idea to select a best aesthetic surgeon who is a board certified from the American Board for plastic Surgery. Definitely you may think about cost that will likely be an important factor for you before attending plastic surgery. Although medical assurance covers many plastic as well as reconstructive surgeries, the price of plastic procedures nearly always comes conventional out of the patient's budget.

Usually the sutures slowly fuse inside the first one or two years after child birth.In babies where one or more of the joins fuses too initial the growth of the skull is restricted, subsequent in recompense mechanism which forms irregular growth forms. When a suture fuses too early, the growth vertical to that suture will be restricted, and the bone growth nearthe other sutures will be enthused,
causing an irregular head shape. The nearby nerves in brain are the main impetus for the fast growth of the head in the early years of human's life. For these problems it is better to consult a craniofacial surgeon who able to cures all the head, skin and body problems.
Finest surgical treatments done by craniofacial surgeons
A craniofacial surgery is followed by the surgical implements that are done mostly in head, face and even in jaws. Any unwanted growth in the head is upright to the suture. Reserved growth possible of the skull region can limit the volume, wanted by the brain. In these condition baggage in which the payment does not efficiently deliver enough space for the rising brain, this results in augmented intracranial pressure. So for these conditions a craniofacial surgery is the best option. To get best results for skin with the use of remarkable lasers to eliminate surplus hair and leveling skin to get improve step by step can help you to achieve better results. Non-compulsory aesthetic surgery procedures can be costly so before surgery talk with a knowledgeable aesthetic surgeon and clear all your doubts. But when comparing with effective plastic surgeries a craniofacial surgery is compulsory for children and peoples. If you just go and ask a craniofacial surgeon he will give you many ideas regarding treatments and successful procedures. Our finest surgical treatments involving craniofacial and aesthetic are valuable.

Adventure Comics #176, "The Rogue of 1,000 Ropes!"
May, 1952
Story: Unknown
Art: George Papp
On their morning patrol through the city, Green Arrow and Speedy see a
man attempting to flee over a stone wall, but the young archer manages
to pin the man's purple pants leg to the wall with an arrow! G.A.
identifies the suspect as Steve Bogardus -- wanted for murder! Weeks
pass, and Bogardus is about to be hanged... but the rope snaps!
According to the laws of the state, Bogardus will receive a reprieve
until tomorrow morning! (Holy Ingersoll, Batman! I've heard of hung
juries, but this is ridiculous!) When he is alone in his cell...
Bogardus knows that his life was saved by a rope for 24 hours! Perhaps
he can use a rope to save it... permanently! Looking at his mattress, he
has an idea...
The following morning, as the prisoner goes again to meet his fate...
Bogardus hurls the rope he fashioned out of horsehair from his mattress,
and lassos a tree on the other side of the prison wall! The lawmen are
surprised by Bogardus' unexpected move and their shots goe wild... He
makes it over the wall and plunges into the river! Days pass, and in a
deserted barn... Bogardus finds that his stolen money is safe and sound
beneath the floorboards, but a candle's flame catches onto the rope he's
carrying... In seconds, his rope has caught fire, and now he is
trapped! Bogardus gathers his loot and stumbles through the flaming
barn... Badly burned, he escapes with his life, and finds a plastic
surgeon to treat him! Months pass, and a new man steps out of the
sanitarium... Wanted posters of Steve Bogardus have been posted all over
the country... but they do not match the new features which the wanted
murderer now has, thanks to plastic surgery! Figuring that rope has
saved his life again, Bogardus plans to follow his luck wherever it
leads him... by using ropes for crime... using rope as Green Arrow uses
arrows! He can't fail!
In the same city where he almost lost his life... Bogardus adopts the
identity of Stephen Gard, wealthy philanthropist! While Green Arrow has
his secret Arrow-Cave, Bogardus will have his Rope-Cave! He must learn
everything he can about ropes! Considered the oldest of arts, primitive
people braided ropes of animal hair... rope can be made of hemp (Holy
Harrellson, Batman!), jute, sisal, asbestos, flax... all kinds of plant
fibres! Bogardus studies... and then, he practices for months and
months...The "butterfly loop," the "over the spoke," and the "big loop"
enable him to lasso a pencil from a glass jar! Soon, it is The Roper --
the master of an old lore with a new twist... using his rope-mastery to
lasso pearls from a unwitting victim, deprive a guard of his gun, and
land atop an armored car from the air!
At the home of Oliver Queen and Roy Harper... the millionaire has found a
definite pattern to the Roper's crimes! Not only does he use ropes, but
every one of his robberies has a relation with ropes! The money stolen
from Evans Hemp Importers, the Rope of Pearls he snared, while leaving
other gems behind... The warehouse on Jute Street which was looted! The
Roper is half-sane and dangerous! If only they could find out his secret
identity! Roy reminds him that Green Arrow and Speedy are due at the
charity bazaar! It is there where they meet another guest of honor...
Stephen Guard, a man who has been generous to all of their charities!
Days later, Green Arrow and Speedy are out on patrol... They see the
Roper stealing from the Rodeo theatre box-office! As their arrows head
for their target, the Roper protects himself behind a barricade of
hissing hemp... (Holy Cheech and Chong, Batman!) Now, it is the
villain's turn to lasso the duo, as his thrown rope flies over the
street marquee...
Hanging helplessly in the air, Green Arrow tells the Roper that he might
be interested in the discarded arrow, and the villain agrees! Speedy
wonders what could possibly be interesting about an arrow with a piece
of rope tied to it! After the duo manage to free themselves from the
rope... G.A. tells his young ward that he has a plan, but he'll keep it a
secret until he's sure it'll work! At the El Fumos Cigar Factory, the
ace archers see the Roper fleeing past the giant rooftop display! Speedy
realizes that cigars are nicknamed "ropes" and suggests that they use
their telescoping arrows! The shafts cleave the air -- and strike their
target... The steel arrows telescope... trapping the Roper in an
arrow-cage! (Holy Selegue, Batman!) Now, Green Arrow and Speedy fire a
couple of arrowlines into the wall above the villain so that they can
climb up! But as they climb upwards, a rope makes its way through the
cage... It lashes around their lines, and the Roper reminds them that
the arrowlines are made of cord... and rope is lucky for him!
The Roper pulls on the cord... using their weight to snap the arrow bars
on the cage! G.A. tells Speedy to aim a metal arrow at the wall below
them! As the arrow snaps under the weight... the Roper takes anothe
piece of rope from one of the arrows embedded in the wall! Seconds
pass... with Green Arrow and Speedy breaking their fall with the metal
arrow in the wall! In the days to come, the battling bowmen find the
Roper at the Skipper Restaurant... (Holy Little Buddy, Batman!) They had
figured that skipper and rope had something in common... so they were
expecting him! Speedy fires a flame arrow at the ropes being carried by
the criminal, but the Roper had been expecting such an attack, and has a
surprise for them! Donning a gas mask, he tells them that one of his
ropes is made from Raffia Palm... which gives off arid, blinding fumes
when lit! While they are helpless, the Roper makes his escape, but not
before leaving with an arrow with some rope attached to it!
In the Arrow-Cave... Speedy thinks that they are powerless against the
Roper, and Green Arrow is reading the newspaper article concerning the
Welton Coin Collection, but there's no connection with rope! He tells
Speedy to call Mr. Welton and for him to call the papers that he's sold
his collection to a Mr. Wood! (Holy Wally World, Batman!) This is part
of their plan to catch the Roper! The following evening, they are in the
Arrow-Car, and on their way to meet the Roper... G.A. tells Speedy that
wood is measured by the cord, and this is the connection for the
criminal to make his move! As they lie in wait in the dark exhibition
room... the Roper arrives through a window, and blinds them with some
luminous ropes! He ties them up and prepares to finish them off! Before
he tightens a noose around their necks, he sees another piece of rope
tied to an arrow in Green Arrow's quiver! The Roper has now tied all the
pieces of cord into one piece... while G.A. whispers to Speedy to lean
against the button behind him!
A boomerang arrow flies through the doorway -- rigged earlier today by
Green Arrow from a hidden bow! The police alarm sounds and the arrow
circles the room... the rope tangles itself around the Roper! G.A.
explains that the arrow is connected with a powerful electromagnet, and
the rope contains iron filings! As it whirls around him, the rope is
being lured along... trapping him! When the police arrive, Green Arrow
tells Speedy how ancient Malayans used to send messages by rope... the
type of knots and the distance between them revealed messages! Piece by
piece, he had been telling the Roper that he knew his true identity! An
officer wonders why he didn't share the secret with the authorities, and
G.A. points to the slanting burn on the Roper's finger... on the exact
spot where skilled ropers exert the most pressure! He knew it wouldn't
stand up as proof in court... but it did serve as a tip off on how to
trap him! When "Stephen Gard's" fingerprints have shown him to be Steve
Bogardus... Roy compliments Oliver on how the rope forced the Roper to
reveal himself... until he had given him enough rope to hang himself...
even if that man is the Roper!
Steve Bogardus favors purple business suits, and as the Roper, he wears a
black ski mask with goggles, a yellow sleeveless tunic, and brown
shorts with yellow boots. The Roper also carries several strands of rope
on his person.
Examples of villains who are adept at rope-tricks include the Firestorm
foe known as Slipknot, Montana from the Enforcers, Live-Wire (who worked
for the Psycho-Man), and the Hangman (who battled Spider-Woman and
Werewolf By Night).
The name Bogardus has appeared in an issue of Spider-Woman by Chris
Claremont and Steve Leialoha. The story was called "Mission: Impossible"
and had the Poppupian consulting Jessica Drew's detective agency to
search for his missing wife.
In an E.C. Comics story, it is a man's neck which snaps, not the rope, and he is a free man since he has been declared dead!
"An Occurrence At Owl Creek" shows an interesting escape from a hanging.
Another character who received plastic surgery to restore his features was Two-Face.
"The Ropers" was a spin-off of "Three's Company" with Norman Fell and Audra Lindley.
Steve Roper was the partner of Mike Nomad in the comic strip.
"Rope" was the name of a film directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
Just like Green Arrow and Batman, the Roper conceals his real identity
as a wealthy philanthropist! Just like Green Arrow and Batman, he has a
secret Rope-Cave (Huh?!?)

An argument led to a trip to the hospital for a Battle Ground man Saturday night, the Washington State Patrol reported.
The patrol said "an altercation" occurred between Stacey S. Vincent, 36, and John F. Wrightson, 33, both of Battle Ground at about 8:50 p.m. Saturday at 117th Avenue and Northeast 131st Street, near Brush Prairie.
The report said Vincent's 2009 Dodge Nitro was stopped, and Wrightson was standing outside the car when Vincent to drove away and apparently struck Wrightson. She continued driving, the report said.
Wrightson was taken to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center with what the patrol said was an injury to his right foot. He was treated and released.
The incident is under investigation, the patrol said.

Prologue: Another Inferior Zulu Road Trip (Nua turas)
Hilversum Travel Blog› entry 1 of 5 › view all entries
This all came about because of me watching a romantic comedy in November 2008. I think it was P.S. I Love You, but whatever it was it took place partially in Ireland. I'd never been to Ireland. And I loved the footage in the movie and the big softie that I am with movies like this immediately had me yearning for the green and rocky fields. So, what do you do in such a case ... you drop BJ an e-mail. Always the one to pick up any chance of travelling I asked him if he'd already been to Ireland. No. Would he like to go there? Yes. Would it be a good idea for an 'Inferior Zulu Road Trip'? Yes.
Now, this is the bit where I have to explain the name Inferior Zulu's. BJ, Derk and myself have met through our work for the progressive rock website DPRP.
So ... within a few days, or maybe it was even hours, it was decided between the three of us that Ireland would be our next Road Trip (not counting the Marillion convention in March; that was too close to home to really be a 'trip').
Several months and other travels passed by and sometime in April the question arose 'what exactly are we going to do in Dublin?'. An extensive pub crawl seemed to be an obvious choice, but leafing through the Lonely Planet City Guide it quickly became obvious that the city had much more to offer than pints of larger and Guinness. Without a doubts we'd have more than enough fun stuff to fill the four days we'd be in the city. I decided to head for BJ's place in Hilversum the day before to be closer to Schiphol Airport, which would make things a bit more convenient on Thursday.

Nothing curls my toes like a medley of wild mushrooms. Lobster mushrooms are hard to find, but I tracked some down last weekend. Oyster mushrooms are my favourite, pretty and delicate. Porcini, portobello and shitake make a gorgeous chorus. And a drizzle of truffle oil on any mushroom dish will kick it over the edge.
But, always, simple is better. The wild flavours mix perfectly with bread, pasta, risotto or simply on a bed of greens. September is the best month to indulge. I'd love to go foraging for them myself, but until then, I'll happily fill my shopping basket with these woodland treasures.
This mouth-watering image is from Twelve: A Tuscan Cookbook, which features many delicious mushroom recipes.

Like a sea surge
It went according to script, with Grace Poe Llamanzares playing her role to the hilt in the tale of a foundling left abandoned at a church door. With her announcement to run for President in 2016, Grace made clear that she wants her long round-about journey from Jaro, Iloilo to end at Malacanang Palace.
With the infectious refrain of "May bagong umagang darating" (a new dawn is coming), Grace Poe stepped up to the challenge, brushing aside a citizenship issue barring her from sitting as senator and running for president. Unwittingly, Poe's detractors like Rizalito David who filed the citizenship case against the senator, the legal experts and all the opinion writers who questioned her being a Filipino citizen, may have contributed to her political stardom by keeping her in the public consciousness. They may have just been marginalized for now by the announcement of Poe who chose to bring her case to the people even before the Senate Electoral Tribunal decides on the crucial citizenship issue after oral arguments on Sept. 21.
With three Supreme Court justices already sitting in the tribunal headed by Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio and Associate Justices Arturo Brion and Teresita Leonardo Castro as members, the SET's ruling cannot be appealed. The other SET members are Senators Pia Cayetano, Paolo "Bam" Aquino, Vicente Sotto, Loren Legarda and Nancy Binay.
How will the vice president's daughter vote on an issue affecting her father's presidential bid? Will the Commission on Elections approve Poe's certificate of candidacy on Oct. 12 if the Senate tribunal has not yet come to a decision? These are vexing questions surrounding the issue of Poe's citizenship.
"It is a move that would make moot her citizenship issue if she wins the election by a landslide," said a political observer citing the legal maxim "Vox populi vox dei"—the voice of the people, is the voice of god.
The following day after Poe declared she' s seeking the presidency, Senator Francis Escudero also announced he's running alongside Grace as her vice president.
The Nationalist People's Coalition, hoping to be a major player by having the independent senator run under its banner, said Poe's citizenship is not an issue with the party. But the Grace-Chiz tandem said they will remain independent and could set political precedent if they win without a party. They could too, considering the party system theoretically does not exist anymore as far as ideology is concerned. But the party machine (nationwide organization down to the barangay level plus its humongous campaign chest) could still spell the election outcome A citizens group, meanwhile has launched "Ampunin [adopt] si Grace Poe" movement.
The setting of her announcement to run for president was the University of the Philippines Alumni House where she was warmly received by students and supporters. Compare this to the rowdy and contentious crowd that harangued Vice President Jejomar Binay at UP Los Baños in Laguna on Tuesday. The UP Los Baños students questioned Binay on corruption allegations and Makati's informal settlers who were trucked to a Laguna relocation site without water and electricity. Some of the houses did not have roofs and walls forcing many of the relocated families to return to Makati angry they were treated like cattle.
Grace Poe's entry in the 2016 presidential race didn't appear to faze her rivals, or so it seems. Liberal Party standard-bearer, former DILG Secretary Mar Roxas and VP Binay both said they are not worried about Poe joining the race. Yeah right, after the two tried desperately to take out Poe as a potential rival by offering her to be their vice presidential running mate.That both Binay and Roxas still have to find a running mate speaks volumes about their lack of appeal, if not their winnability. Binay, the first to declare his presidential bid as early as four years ago, is slipping in the poll surveys saddled by a slew of corruption charges. Roxas, on the other hand, is constrained to follow the discredited "tuwid na daan" (straight path) of his political patron—the lame duck President Aquino. At this early, political analysts see Binay and Roxas losing votes as their supporters shift to a perceived groundswell for Poe.
Will voters carry Grace Poe like a sea surge and sweep her to power, or will vote-buying and cheating still be the norm in the 2016 presidential elections? The late movie icon Fernando Poe, Grace's father, who lost the 2004 presidential poll, must be smiling somewhere.
For a neophyte politician without any experience, Grace Poe showed more political savvy than her rivals. She one-upped them by unveiling a platform of government (although the specifics of which were not spelled out) that included the passage of the Freedom of Information Bill, lowering taxes, giving priority to public education , construction of more schools and classrooms , mass transportation to ease traffic, fight against crime, infrastructure projects to decongest air traffic at the country's three major airports, continue the unwavering campaign against corruption, and to defend the country's sovereignty in the West Philippine Sea.

There has been a major turnaround in the financial performance of Caribbean Cement Company Limited.
The company has fully emerged from the 2006 cement crisis which pushed it into a loss position.
Revenue for the first half of its financial year increased by $400 million to $3.6 billion.
This led to Caribbean Cement earning a net profit of $251 million for the six months to June 30 compared to a $234 million loss last year.
It managed to realize a profit despite the presence of imported cement in the local market.
Sales volume for the January to June period declined by eight per cent and by four per cent between April to June when compared to the corresponding period last year.
Caribbean Cement has remained the preferred brand despite the presence of cement which was imported duty-free.
The company is predicting an improvement in market share for the second half of this year and with the start of up of its new kiln in 2008, it says further financial gains are projected.
In the meantime, General Manager of Caribbean Cement, Anthony Haynes says the company is close to completing pay outs to customers who purchased poor quality products last year. Published under Cement News

to limit maximum size of the American family to two adults and two children, and to enforce sterilization of adults receiving public assistance? Ohio legislators unsuccessfully proposed this legislation in 1965 when Medicaid took effect under the Johnson Administration. Some voices call for this legislation today. Could it happen? {image: Pixabay]
sort by best latest
This will never happen in a free society. It is something that a Communist country like China would do and in fact has done in the past.
We stand for liberty and freedom and we are better as a nation for it.
We can modify our social and welfare laws to discourage irresponsible personal behavior but it is up the individual to decide.
Thanks for your answer. Some small groups that still want the legislation passed and I think the larger population will protest loudly enough to stop them.
I AGREE with such groups. I believe that legislation SHOULD be passed to limit family size & to sterilize poor people to prevent them from having children period. It is for the greater benefit of society after all!
Grace, I am surprised at your position on this since you are a human rights specialist from your bio. I can tell you from my experience looking at China's one child policy that it has not been good. It has lead to many social problems that is ongoing
If there was a serious movement in that direction, the first route that would be practical and socially acceptable would be mandatory long term contraception like Norplant or an IUD for women on welfare and teenaged girls whose families received any type of financial benefit.
If you can't afford to take care of the children you have, it is reasonable to say you shouldn't be allowed to have any more children. Earn enough to get off welfare and benefits or marry a man who provides for the family, then you can get your fertility back. The benefit of this approach is not mandating abortions and eliminating the need to supervise someone taking birth control pills - just one implant/doctor visit and done for five years.
The fact that women on welfare tend to have more children than working mothers (closer to 3 children than the US average of 1.8) would lead to both population reduction and reduction in the demand for welfare benefits. But Democrats have never supporting anything like this because they like people being dependent on the state - which is why they supported welfare programs that discouraged marriage and out of wedlock childbearing in the first place.
There are no laws in the United States which advocate this. However, advocates of Zero Population Growth do advocate this & for good reason. It used to be to curb the population explosion. Now, it is well known that children in small families have the most opportunities in terms of education & socioeconomics. Parents have more resources emotionally, mentally, psychologically, & socioeconomically to devote to small families than they would to a medium, medium large, large, & very large families where parental resources are drained.
Yes, there SHOULD be laws limiting family size to 2 children & that poor people who can ill afford children should be sterilized, even forcefully as children born into poverty are doomed from the start. Such children don't have the intellectual & cultural resources that more affluent children have. They have low quality of life of penury & want & no child should ever undergo that. Yes, poor people should be sterilized as they aren't capable of supporting children. However, parents no matter their socioeconomic standing should limit the number of children they have. Affluent parents KNOW the benefits of judicious family planning (1-2 children).
Yes, small families are the best for children's development.If people want a larger family, then 3-4 children are fine.No more than that. In small families, parents have the span of control & can raise children effectively w/o enlisting the aid of older children to raise them. Let's be intelligent here. Parents shouldn't enforce the oldest children to raise younger siblings. That is what usually occurs when parents decide to mindlessly & be proliferate in their reproductive mannerisms- they have MORE children than they can effectively raise alone. So what happens? Oldest/older children are left w/the burden of raising younger siblings thus forfeiting their formative years which isn't fair to them.
Yes, there must be draconian methods to limit family size to 1-2 children, at the most 3-4 children. Studies have endlessly proven the detriments & disadvantages of medium large(5 children per family), large(6-8 children per family) & very large families(8-children per family). Poverty, want, scarcity, poor nutrition/clothing/health care, lack of parental attention, parentified oldest children, neglected children, children left to their own devices, no privacy, no sense of self, & other negative characteristics. No one wants that for their children.
Somebody correct me here. A single mom gets so much per child on welfare. The more children within the same walls of a unit -- the more money per square foot. I do not see a real argument that our system does not encourage more poor children.
Encourages poor people to have more children which it seems many end up in prison also at a cost to the tax payers. The middle class has been shrinking due the lack of good paying jobs due to NAFTA - North American Free Trade Agree and now the T P P
I don't know about all other states, but in Ohio, a "welfare mother" can collect welfare cash benefits for a total of ONLY three years and only for the first three children born, no matter how many children are born, and that's it.

Although your Harry Potter book and DVD collections might be gathering dust, there is still no suggestion that the bespectacled wizard-kid is slowing down his attempt at world domination. After the success of Orlando's The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Universal Studios has endeavored to create another one on the West coast.
According to /Film, the attraction is part of a hefty $500 million development plan for Universal Studios in Hollywood. In addition to the new Potter theme park, Universal Studios will also undergo an extensive renovation of their backlots, office space and TV production facilities. But, hey that's kind of boring, let's get back to the fun stuff.
Exact details on what Hollywood's version of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter will look like are still scarce, but there are suggestions that Orlando's Hogwarts Castle and Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride will also be replicated in Hollywood. We also wouldn't be surprised if the sleepy wizarding town of Hogsmeade also springs up in California, too.
Construction is due to begin this summer as part of NBCUniversal's 25-year "Evolution Plan". The business-brains have estimated that the entire project will produce 30,000 jobs and $2 billion for the local area. Orlando's Harry Potter-land has certainly proved successful, increasing ticket sales at Universal Orlando by 68%. Plans are already in progress to expand this park, and to build another one in Osaka, Japan.
There's still no official date for the grand opening of Hollywood's Harry Potter park, but construction is expected to end sometime in 2016.
Will you visit Hollywood's The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, or is the Harry Potter spell starting to wear off? Let me know below.

RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) – Parents of the tiniest patients at a Raleigh hospital are getting Thanksgiving treats from a former patient.
Five-year-old Carter Hodges spent the first 24 days of his life at UNC Rex Hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. He was born 10 weeks early, and weighed just over three pounds. Carter and his mother returned Wednesday to the NICU to give thanks and give back.
"Having a baby in a NICU can be very difficult, lonely, and isolating at times. Especially during the holiday season," Caron Hodges said.
"We just had the idea that we wanted to help those families and give them a little cheer and encouragement."
Friends, family, and even some strangers donated funds and supplies to the Hodges' collection efforts. Caron and Carter packed about 40 gift bags with items including bottled water, hand lotion, hand sanitizer, snacks, wipes, and tissues.
Each bag also contains a copy of the book Guess How Much I Love You.
"It was one that we started reading to Carter while he was in the NICU here," Hodges said.
"As NICU parents often you feel helpless because you can't be the primary caregiver of the baby at that time. One of the ways that you can contribute to their care is by reading books to them, and that was a special one that we read."
There were 18 babies in the UNC Rex NICU Wednesday afternoon, including two sets of twins. Carter waited in the lobby while his mother delivered bags to some of the parents who were at the hospital at the time, including Shawna Wilson.
Wilson is eager to take home her daughter, Ava Jade, who will likely spend her fourteenth day in the NICU on Thanksgiving.
"They're really very supportive. I was scared, being a scared new mom, first time mom, I didn't know how to feel about being overdue," Wilson said.
"Once I got here, the nurses showed me how to care for her, not to be scared, and to stay encouraged and that she's well taken care of while she's here."
Wilson's daughter was not born prematurely, but she said spending time with Hodges and learning about the other mother's experience makes her feel better. She said receiving the gift bag is wonderful, but the conversation with Hodges was the biggest sign of encouragement.
"It just gives me so much joy to see another parent that has made it out of here with their baby doing well, no problem, it just makes me feel a lot more positive about our journey here," she said.
The Wilsons have some of the same medical staff for Ava Jade's treatment that the Hodges had for Carter's. Nurse Lisa Saye said she remembers Carter and the Hodges from 2011, and is pleased to see the family return to express gratitude and help others.
"He was a small guy with a lot of needs, but they were very involved and wanted to learn and wanted to be a part and we wanted to let them be involved," Saye said.
"To see him grow from just a small infant with a lot of needs to a healthy young man, running, playing sports, that's what it's all about."
The Hodges will provide a Thanksgiving breakfast for the NICU parents Thursday. They plan to distribute the remaining half of the gift bags to families new to the NICU as Christmas approaches.

All you need to do is use the crop tool and reset the boundaries of the picture. Then, crop it and it will take out the other portions of the photo that you don't need. The photo and the file size are both smaller. Many photo editing programs such as Microsoft Photo Manager, Free Fly Photo Editing etc.
This is a powerful image editing tool that can do everything you can imagine to an image. Resizing is no exception. But resizing a photo involves lots more than just straight cropping. That's where advance software like Adobe Photoshop comes in. A photo usually has very high quality and the image size is very large. Most of the time you won't need a high quality photo because you are just distributing to family and friends. Adobe photoshop can come in handy to deal with the size of an image.
Adobe photoshop also has a powerful cropping tool. This tool is initiative to use, just draw a boundary with the tool to indicate the area that you want. Move the cursor outside of this area and note the cursor changes shape. This allows you to rotate the cropping boundary. You can also set the center of rotation of the picture. By default, the center is set at the center of the crop boundary, but you can move it anywhere you like. When rotating the crop boundary, it will rotate with respect to the new center.Open your photo in ACDSEE or Fly Free photo editing. Go to image, and then image size. You can make the photo bigger or smaller by entering different width and height values. Note that the width and height values are linked which means changing one value will result in a different value for the other one as well. This will ensure that the photo stays in the same proportion. On the image size dialog box, it will also show you the original file size and the new file size after you resize.

What do blind beggars, flying libraries, swimming gorillas, and special worms all have in common? These characters are the stars of just a few of the terrific tales set to be a part of this year's Barfoot & Thompson Young Authors Challenge storybook.
Congratulations to the nine budding writers who are about to take us on these exciting adventures, teaching us important life lessons along the way.
Our 2016 Young Authors Challenge saw over a record 1615 students from Auckland and Northland enter the competition. From these we picked nine winning stories.
The talented young writers are set to become published authors, having won the opportunity to see their imaginative stories come to life in a very special storybook.
Supreme winner, home schooled student Selau Ifopo, had her story The Blind Beggar's Gift chosen as the cover story. This will be accompanied by eight other tales including:
The winning stories were selected by a panel of eight judges, based on the development of characters and settings, originality and positive messages.
The Young Authors Challenge is now in its ninth year. Over the past eight years, it has raised over $200,000 for the Barfoot & Thompson Magic of Reading Programme.
Funds raised through the sale of the book are used to purchase a range of children's story books, by published authors, and are provided free to Starship Children's Hospital and Whangarei Hospital's Children's ward for young patients who stay overnight to read and take home when discharged. Over 90,000 books have been distributed to-date through this initiative.

Although many people think gyrocopters
are helicopters, these rotorcraft share much more with fixed-wing aircraft than
they do with helicopters. This less expensive way to see the world from above
from a helicopter-like aircraft continues to enjoy great popularity. Obtaining a
corresponding pilot license is much easier, too.
All those intending to acquire a gyrocopter should pay a visit to the AERO trade show this year. Exhibitors from the gyrocopter sector will be presenting their products including one gyrocopter equipped with an innovative electric propulsion system.
However, "true"
helicopters ranging from small ultralight to large executive helicopters will also
be on display at the AERO. Even a Super Puma operated by the German Bundespolizei
(Federal Police) will be coming to Friedrichshafen. Visitors can also expect to
see an electrically powered ultralight helicopter from France, which will
participate in the first ever electric aircraft air show at AERO

A 6-year-old child is taken to Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus after an evening incident.
It happened around 6:30 p.m. at 798 Craig Parkway.
The Licking County 911 Center says it received an initial call of a possible drowning at the residence.
The Newark Fire Department says when crews arrived, the child had already been pulled from a pool.
Captain Michael White would not go into the extent of the child's injuries but did say they were serious enough to have the child taken by MedFlight to the hospital.
The child's condition is not known at this time.

Harrison Ford's Son – Malcolm Ford
Everybody knows Harrison Ford. He starred in films such as Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Blade Runner, and The Fugitive are a few of the many blockbuster films he was part of. But aside from the blaster-wielding, whip-snapping hero that we've seen, what else do we know about him? An interesting part of Harrison Ford's life is his family. He has been married three times, and is currently with Calista Flockhart. One of his children, Malcolm Ford, was the son of Harrison Ford and ex-wife Melissa Mathison. So who is Harrison Ford's son? And what do we know about him? We know his father was successful, but that doesn't guarantee anything for Malcolm Ford. Great kid, don't get cocky. Regardless, he's now on his own, recording music for a band called The Dough Rollers. Let's take an inside look at the life of Harrison Ford's son.
He's part of The Dough Rollers, not the Rebel Alliance
Malcolm Ford was born to Harrison Ford and Melissa Mathison in 1990. He has four siblings. If you took a look at him, he looks a lot different than his dad. Though maybe, if he was flying the Millennium Falcon, he wouldn't look too out of place. Check out the white shirt and black vest. If that doesn't scream "I made the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs", we don't know what does. The tattoos and red hair? Maybe not.
Psyched to be somersaulting across the pond again. Can't wait to see you randy teapots! http://t.co/7uBhIJDpqK pic.twitter.com/fGLqXbp23q
— The Dough Rollers (@TheDoughRollers) February 19, 2015
Is he into acting? No. But he is into art. Specifically, music. Malcolm Ford plays in a band called The Dough Rollers. The band formed in 2008. They aren't the most well known band, but their great talent landed them on The Late Show with David Letterman. They also got a chance to be a supporting act for Billy Idol. Other famous bands that The Dough Rollers toured with included Bob Dylan, Queens of the Stone Age, and John Mellencamp. What a resume these guys have!

Celtics Lock Up Top Seed, Rest Big 3
The Boston Celtics completed the best turn-around in NBA history when they beat the Bobcats 101-78 on Saturday night. The victory topped the previous record held by the San Antonio Spurs from the 1997-98 season. That was the year the Spurs landed Tim Duncan. The Celtics also benefited from the key off-season acquisition of Kevin Garnett to complete their turn-around in 2007-08.
Ironically enough the Celtics clinched the top seed in the upcoming playoffs without the help of their three superstars, the Big Three of Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. Leon Powe stepped up with 22 points and 9 rebounds while James Posey added a season high 19 points. The rest was well deserved for the Big Three of the Celtics. With the top seed locked up for the playoffs the Celtics will want their best players to be rested for the 2nd season. Paul Pierce had the night off to celebrate the birth of his baby girl.
Boston Celtics playoff tickets are now available for all possible rounds including the NBA Finals.

Ok! Now the real story kicks off. This will be the last update for awhile on this one since I have other fics to update and exams to do. Read, review, and enjoy!
Disclaimer: Still don't own Suikoden…
Chapter 2: Start of a Wave
"So, you ever been fishin' before?" Lun asked. Faroush had caught up to the girl after a bit of running and the pair were currently heading towards the dock. The town was livelier since many nobles were in town for the awards ceremony. The peasants were also taking this as an official reason to celebrate.
"N-n-no, I haven't." the prince answered. Ever since they had left the castle he hadn't seen his bodyguard. He knew Kyle was still watching over him, just not with him. Faroush was still a bit ticked at him for leaving him relatively alone with his companion; he really wasn't good at talking to other people.
"Why are you stuttering so much…uh…hey, what's yer name again?" the girl asked as she took a bite from the bread she was carrying. Faroush looked back again to see if he could spot Kyle; no such luck.
"I-I-I'm Faroush. Sorry about the s-stuttering…I'm just really n-nervous." the prince managed to get out. Lun turned and smiled at him.
"Faroush? Ha, that's a silly name." the girl teased. Something about that set the prince off because he managed to forget his shyness for a moment.
"Well, what kind of name is 'Lun'? At least my name has more than one syllable." The prince immediately dropped a piece of bread to slap a hand over his mouth, scarcely believing what he had just said. Lun stopped dead and for a moment he thought for sure she was going to leave or hit him, what he didn't expect was for her to break out laughing.
"That…was a…good one!" she said between fits of laughter. Faroush watched her for a moment before he started to laugh to, just not as loudly. Several townsfolk that were milling around looked at the pair oddly; especially surprised that the shy prince was laughing with another child his age.
"So, anyway…" Lun continued after she stopped giggling, "…my pops is down on our boat. Let's go before he gets drunk or something." she said as she started to walk once again. The prince followed her down the long steps that are the access to the harbor. At the end of one of the docks a small ship sits with several lamps hanging on it. At the end of the bow, a large man sits with a bottle off to his side and a long cane pole in his hands; he looks like he's fallen asleep where he was sitting. Lun grumbled under her breath and hoped onto the boat. Faroush looked a bit weary at the small vessel; he was used to bigger, safer-looking ships. Lun didn't seem to notice his reluctance and walked over to her sleeping father. A wicked smile graced her face as she put her foot on his shoulder blades. The man stirred slightly but didn't wake up much to Luns' ire. "Hey pops…wake up!" she yelled as she pushed forward with her foot sending her father flying over the side of the boat. With a resounding splash the man hit the water. Faroush gapped in shock at the girls' action, he had never seen such disrespect to ones parents. The man surfaced soon and pulled himself back up onto the deck of the ship.
"Whatcha do that for, Lun?-!" the man coughed out along with a bit of water. Lun was standing there glaring at him and tapping her foot. The bread she brought was laid on a small table that was pushed up beside the bridge of the ship. The prince had finally worked up enough nerve to get into the boat and was now watching the scene before him with a tiny smirk while he nibbled on a loaf of bread.
"You fell asleep! You promised you wouldn't but you did. I jus thought a nice wake-up call would get my point across." the young girl said smugly. Her father mumbled a bit but seemed resigned to the treatment. It was then he noticed Faroush. The man could have sworn he had seen the child somewhere before but he didn't dwell on it.
"So, who's the kid?" the man said as he motioned to Faroush. Lun blinked and turned to see what her father was pointing at. She slapped her head in annoyance; she had forgotten about him.
"Oh, right. This is Faroush; Raja said I should bring him with me to fish some." Lun said as she grabbed a cane pole that was latched to the side of the bridge. She grabbed a piece of bread and popped it into her mouth and pointed at the older man who was now in deep thought. "This is my pops, Logg." Logg, for his part, was now mulling over the name he had just heard. He knew he had seen the boy before and now with the name that warning feeling in the back of his mind grew ten fold. Something was just telling him to be a bit more formal with the kid but he ignored it.
"Well, good to meet ya, Faroush. Grab a rod and enjoy yerself; I don't see why you'd want to be down here with us, though." the man said as he stole a loaf of bread from his daughter's hands. She glared in annoyance but let it slide…this time. The prince smiled at this; he had never seen parents and children get along so well. Logg and Lun seemed to be friends before anything else and that made him think on his own relationship with his parents. He always kept things very formal with them no matter how much they asked him to loosen up. He then thought about the girl; she was so outgoing and confident. When she ordered him around he just felt compelled to follow her no matter what he wanted to do. He guessed that's what 'leader ability' must be. Oh how he wished he could be like that. Faroush sighed and put down his load of bread next to Luns' pile. Walking over to the various rods that were hanging on the boat, he wondered which to pick up. Looking over the selections, he noticed something strange off to the side of them. It was a sword as far as he could tell, not that he had much weapon experience. It was in a cloth sheath so he couldn't see the blade but by the shape of the sheath, he could tell it was a wide blade. It was hanging by a nail because its handle ended in a circle of steel; its hilt was also unusually long. He had never seen one before and considered asking Logg about it but the man beat him to the punch.
"It's called a Dadao." the man said as he walked over to where the boy was. Logg took it off of the nail it was hanging on and unsheathed it. He could have sworn he heard someone shift from the back of the boat, but dismissed it with a shrug. The prince didn't even hear anything because he was so focused on the weapon. He was right about the blade's wideness; it was more a saber than a standard sword. Unlike normal swords, it was slightly curved and didn't come to a single point at the tip but was cut off in a wide head. Logg backed off a bit and swung the blade clumsily over the side of the boat demonstrating a slice. "See? It's not a stabbing sword but a cleaving one; you can also use it with both hands or with one if you want. This thing is also good for blocking because of its wide blade. I use it mostly for when I can't get to my anchor." The prince heard a snort come from the girl as she watched her father demonstrate more with the Dadao.
"You know an anchor isn't really good to fight with, right pop? How did you ever get the idea to use that thing anyway?" Lun asked as she walked over to where her father was. The fish weren't biting tonight anyway.
"Well, it was back in the war actually. I went with General Boz to defend Rainwall after those Armes guys attacked it." Logg started as he sheathed the Dadao and placed the sword back on its nail. Faroush and Lun had decided to sit down and listen to the man tell his story. Logg walked over to the side of the boat and sat down on the edge. "We took the river to get there faster but the fighting had already started when we got there. Barrows had holed up in his mansion and left the defense to his personal guards. The Armes general had about a hundred men sacking the town. Barrows had about…twenty or so guards trying to hold them off. Boz brought fifty with him and we piled out of the boat and tried to take the dock."
"Wait just a minute, pops!" Lun interrupted. "You just jumped out of the boat?-!" the girl asked incredously. Logg chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment.
"Well, Boz always did like a good fight. Anyway, we just…'jumped out of the boat' and started to brawl with the guards there. We were lucky they were too caught up with dealin' with the other guards or they could have swarmed us. About five minutes in my luck ran out and I ran into the Armes lieutenant that was guarding the dock. We locked up and I got my arse kicked. He was using some tiny sword thing, a real skinny blade on it and he was taking me apart cuz all I had was my big ole' pike. The little rat was top fast. He got me good and I fell off of the dock; that's how I got this nice scar on my cheek, you know." Logg said as he ran his fingers over the crisscross scar on the side of his face. "Well, I suppose he thought I bit the big because he turned around to go take out Boz. I imagine he didn't expect me to grab a boat anchor on my way to the surface and bash him in the head with it. I didn't have time to get my pike since it was at the bottom of the river so I just fought with the anchor. It worked well so I kept it ever since." Logg was enjoying the rare quiet as his normally loud daughter stared at him slack-jaw'd. It was no surprise; he didn't talk much about his involvement in the war.
"Wow, pops. That is just…" Lun was cut off by the whizzing sound of an arrow in flight. She screamed as the arrow plowed into Loggs's shoulder and he fell overboard yet again. Three cloaked figures descended on the small boat. One, with a crossbow, leapt onto the roof of the bridge, another scrambled onboard and drew a large dagger. That one moved to block the two children's escape rout. The third figure landed on the roof with the crossbowman and drew a huge broadsword.
"Now that one annoyance is out of the way, time to move on." the broadsword-wielding man said to his crossbow companion. "You keep an eye out for the Queens Guardsman that is bound to be hovering around and Seven can take care of the girl but don't harm the boy, got it?"
"Yes sir." the man with the daggers, Seven, moved closer to the two frightened children. Faroush looked around frantically for Kyle as the man closed in. The prince shut his eyes as the dagger came down, he didn't want to die and leave his parents. The awaited blow never came, however, and the prince peaked an eye open. Lun was holding the dagger back with the shaft of a harpoon. 'Seven' blinked at the power the little girl had; it wasn't enough to stop him but she was obviously well-trained for her age. He shifted his grip on the dagger and ducked to his knees in order to drive his fist into the stomach of Lun. She saw this coming and broke off quick enough to bat his hand away with the blunt end of her harpoon.
"Faroush, get out of here and get help!" Lun shouted. The prince snapped out of his awe and tried to get past the occupied dagger-wielder. 'Seven' saw this and lashed out with his foot catching the prince in the chest. The little boy sailed into the side of the bridge with a thud. His world was spinning as he saw the dagger man score a cut on Lun's arm. The urge to run almost completely took over his mind. He was about to run back to the castle, back to his mother and father but then he remembered Logg's war story. The man had bravely jumped into the middle of a fight and even when he was about to die he kept on. Now Lun was doing the same thing. She could have just ran and let the assassins abduct or kill him but she didn't; she stayed and fought. Suddenly the prince felt very ashamed of the thoughts he had been having about running. Steeling himself, he got onto shaky legs and looked around for a weapon. He spotted the Dadao that was hanging right above him on its nail. He grabbed at it and managed to bat it off of its place on the wall. He clumsily unsheathed it and almost fell over under its weight. Logg had been able to wield the saber one-handed but the prince was having trouble even lifting it with both of his hands. He cursed himself for not taking up his fathers' offer of combat practice. He heard a scream of pain and he wrenched his gaze over to where Lun was fighting. The older man had finally stopped playing with the girl and now had his huge dagger drove though the girls' arm. Lun had dropped her harpoon and was clutching at the mans' wrist trying to get the pressure to stop. Something snapped in the young princes' mind as he let out a yell and dove towards the man.
"Ahhhhh!" 'Seven' only had time to yank the dagger out of the girls arm before he started screaming himself. His hand shot to his lower back as he felt cold steel embed itself into his spine. Faroush had remembered Logg's explanation of how the Dadao was a cleaving weapon and not a stabbing one so he had swung the sword like a bat and sliced cleanly into the man's lower back. The prince coldly slid the blade out of the man cutting more flesh as he did so. 'Seven' dropped his bloody dagger and staggered towards the edge of the boat grabbing at the bleeding wound. He was on the edge when he found his legs being pulled out from below him. As he fell into the water a man with an arrow jutting out from his shoulder pulled himself on deck. Logg sputtered for a few moments before the whimpering of his daughter brought him back to reality.
"Lun! Are you ok? What happened?" the man asked. Lun nodded weakly as she gripped her arm and drifted off to unconsciousness, probably due to the pain. Faroush walked over to Logg dragging the bloody Dadao behind him.
"We have to be careful! There were two more!" Faroush shouted.
"You mean these guys?" Faroush, Logg, and Lun turned abruptly to try and find the voice. On the top of the bridge stood Kyle with the crossbowmen and 'Five' under his each of his arms. They were beat to hell and back and the crossbowman was missing a hand. The prince sighed and looked around at the boat as Logg started cleaning Lun's wounds. Blood stained several parts of the deck and was pooled around 'Seven's dagger. Faroush picked the weapon up to get a better look at it; the blade was a good eight inches and was serrated on one side, over all the dagger was about a foot long. On the ivory handle was a carved orchid. Kyle deposited his unconscious prisoners on the dock beside the ship as several city guardsmen ran up to the boat with weapons drawn.
"Sir Kyle! We heard fighting coming from the docks and we came as soon as possible, are you alright, sir?" one of them asked as the others pointed their weapons at the half-dead men on the dock.
"More or less. We do have a wounded girl here, take her and her father to the royal doctor." the guard saluted and Logg gave his thanks as he picked up his unconscious daughter and followed some of the guards to the palace; he didn't complain once about the arrow still sticking out of his shoulder. "As for these two, take them to the dungeon." the rest of them nodded and followed the others to the palace. Kyle walked over to the prince and put his hand on the boys' shoulder. "Are you ok, prince?"
"…yeah." Faroush replied in monotone as he stared at the dagger in his hand. Kyle looked at it as well; he had missed what happened on the bow of the boat while he was dealing with the other two. "Do you think Seven…is dead?"
"Seven? The guy who had that dagger? I don't know, what happened to him?" Kyle asked. He had a feeling the bloody Dadao in the princes' hand had something to do with it.
"I…he…I think I might have killed him!" the prince yelled as he flung himself at the startled guard. Kyle was caught even more off-guard as the boy started to sob into his guard uniform. Hesitantly, the man put his arm around the boy and patted his back. He was starting to put it all together. Lun was down and the prince acted; it was a clean kill.
"It's alright, prince. He gave you no choice, don't feel bad about it." Kyle said. The prince pulled away and rubbed his eyes with his hand that was holding the dagger; he was still gripping the hilt of the saber and it was too heavy for him to lift with one hand.
"B-but that's just it, I don't feel bad! I should, shouldn't I?" the boy asked. Kyle blinked at him, that was something he wasn't suspecting. "Something just…changed when I saw that guy stab Lun. I wanted to run away at first but after I saw that I just wanted him to hurt as much as he hurt her and Logg. What's wrong with me?"
"Nothing is wrong with you, prince. It's natural to feel that way when someone hurts those we care about. You did the right thing, imagine if you wouldn't have been there." the man said trying to make the boy feel better. The prince lowered his gaze to the dagger in his left hand and the Dadao in his right. He gripped it tighter and looked up at Kyle. The bodyguard almost flinched at the burning determination that was conveyed through the prince's eyes.
"Teach me how to use these, I don't want to be that weak again!" he said. Kyle nodded his consent. He knew commander Ferid had been trying to get the prince to take up weapon practice and now it seemed the prince wanted to learn on his own. Faroush smiled at the consent; now he was going to be strong and not be that cowardly again. Lun and Logg had suffered because of him and it wasn't going to happen again.
"Right now though, we should go see the Queen and lord Ferid to tell them about what happened, not to mention interrogating the prisoners to see what they were after." Kyle said as he stood up. The prince nodded and started to leave but turned to get the cloth sheath for the Dadao. He was struggling with it for awhile before Kyle helped him strap the large weapon to his back. At three feet it looked massive on the small frame of the prince but he gritted his teeth and bared it. Kyle took the dagger for him as there was no sheath for it. Now that everything was set, the pair headed off towards the palace and the worried Queen; Kyle shuddered at the thought of what she and Ferid would do to those who would hurt their child…
Well, that's chapter two! I think I created a fair reason for the prince to be more aggressive later on in life. I also am changing his main weapon to that of the Chinese broadsword, the Dadao. If you don't know what that is, I suggest using Google to look it up. Anyway, hope you liked it; the next chapter will start the princes' training and show the reactions of the court to the assassins. Wonder who sent them?

Business mogul, Tony Elumelu, achieved a financial feat that has puzzled and interested entrepreneurship lovers. In barely one month, Tony had amassed a stunning profit of $123 million.
Tony Elumelu is the Chairman of Union Bank Of Nigeria and Transcorp Conglomerate with operational interests in Energy, Agriculture and Hospitality businesses (& development).

According to Forbes, Elumelu started acquiring shares in Transnational Corporation of Nigeria Plc in April 2011. 5 months later (September) he became the chairman of the company. By November Transcorp shares had hit a 186% rate.
Tony Elumelu is also the Chairman of Heirs Holdings, an investment company with interests in financial services, real estate, energy, agribusiness and healthcare. From Heirs, he was able to obtain shares from Transcorp.
"He currently owns over 5.7 billion shares of the company (5,745,890,693 to be exact, according to Transcorp's latest corporate filings), held in his own name and via Heirs Holdings, equating to a 22.26% stake, making him the company's largest individual shareholder."
– Forbes.
A reliable source from the Nigerian Stock Exchange revealed that there was an upsurge in the demand of Transcorp's shares the minute Transcorp (under the administration of the billionaire) purchased and took over the Ughelli Power plant on November 1, 2013.
The high demand of the shares was a smart business move from investors to invest in the oil and gas asset which cost $300 million. By November 21, the shares had translated into the sum of $123 million.

On assuming the leadership of Transcorp, he promised to foster diversified business interests and values for shareholders. In 3 weeks, he gave proof of his word.
His story with Standard Trust Bank is yet another business wonder. He purchased the enterprise which, after a merger, became The United Bank Of Africa. UBA is now a multi-national bank with branches in New York and London.
Elumelu is a visionary who believes in the concept of "Africapitalism"- the power to grow and improve African economy by empowering the private sectors.
In 2015, he announced he would fund 1,000 budding entrepreneurs as part of a $100 million initiative to boost the African private sector through his Foundation.
