Game of Thrones Themed Wedding
With Game of Thrones starting back up again on Monday I had to do a post on a themed wedding. I love Game of Thrones and cannot wait for Season 7. And I know I'm not the only one who loves it. So if you've dreamed of having a wedding inspired by Game of Thrones then her are some ideas for you. (Note - there'll be no Red Wedding or Purple Wedding here!)
The Alternative Wedding "Cakes"
Not a big lover cake? Or are you after something unique and quirky for your wedding "cake?" Well luckily these days there are plenty of options for alternative wedding cakes. Whether you want to keep it sweet or have something savoury, these "cakes" are for you.
March Favourites
March has been a very busy month for me and I'm so proud of every post I've put out. Doing research for my blog is often tricky, merely because I get so caught up looking on a site that I sometimes forget that I need to move on and look at other company's. That's the thing with weddings - everything's just so beautiful. So because there were so many sites company's I wanted to concentrate on I decided that each month I'll do a Monthly Favourites so I can showcase to you just how amazing some of these places are. My monthly favourites will also include my favourite dress/dresses of the month or a single item that I really fell in love with that I posted.
Wedding Cakes Part 2
We've already looked at some wedding cake options but now a days there's so much choice out there and today we're going to look at slightly more non traditional cakes. We'll be looking at modern cakes that are decorated differently to how you'd expect a wedding cake to be decorated. Warning: this post may make you hungry and crave cake!
Wedding Cakes – Part 1
I think it's fair to say that pretty much everyone at your wedding will be looking forward to tasting the cake. It will be put out on display during the wedding breakfast to tempt your guests, until it's finally time for you to cut it and everyone can enjoy a slice (but not before you!)

Super Mario Odyssey amiibo support lets you use almost all of the figurines to get an item or make something happen. However, you can't use amiibo at the start of the game. You'll have to meet Uncle Amiibo first, but it'll take a little bit of playing to find him. Below we'll show you where Uncle Amiibo shows up, and how to scan your figures.
How to Use Amiibo in Super Mario Odyssey
Before Uncle Amiibo appears, you'll need to play up until the Sand Kingdom. You'll have to get the first multi-moon from Harriet in the Showdown on the Inverted Pyramid quest. Once you do that, the pyramid will rise into the hair, making it even colder in the desert.
Also: Super Mario Odyssey amiibo Costumes: How to Unlock the Outfits Without the Figures
After the pyramid rises, you'll get The Hole in the Desert quest. Head to the hole where the pyramid used to be and jump down in it. Once you get through the dungeon, you'll fight Knucklotec. Once he's down, you'll spawn near the Odyssey, and it will be warm again.
Near the Odyssey, you'll meet Hint Toad and Uncle Amiibo for the first time. After talking to him once you can scan amiibo to your heart's content.
How to Scan Amiibo in Super Mario Odyssey
To scan an amiibo you'll need to hold right on the D-Pad on your controller until the amiibo icon appears in the center of your screen. Once it's up you can tap the amiibo on the area on your controller that contains the NFC reader.
For the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controller, you scan an amiibo by holding it near the right analog stick.
If you're using the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, you'll want to hover your amiibo over the area in the upper-center of the controller where the Switch logo is located.

Caregivers at Texas Health Arlington Memorial Hospital delivered heart-shaped cookies to patients on Friday and make a fresh commitment to extending kindness each day to the individuals and families they serve.
The hospital, which launched its Kindness Matters campaign on Valentine's Day, is one of the newest Kindness Ambassadors participating in the City of Arlington's Kindness Initiative. Texas Health Arlington Memorial Hospital leaders say the initiative serves as a reminder about the importance of providing a comforting touch, a warm smile or a listening ear to those who come through their doors.
Chief Nursing Officer Shonna Bracco initiated the Kindness Matters campaign, which includes posters around the hospital that read: "Today you could be standing next to someone who is trying their best not to fall apart. So whatever you do today, do it with kindness in your heart."
"This is who we are here at the hospital. This is what defines us," said Bracco, who moved her family to Arlington last year. "This initiative really is just a reminder that will help us be intentional in our kindness."
During the kickoff event, Mayor Jeff Williams proclaimed Feb. 14, 2020, as "Kindness Matters Day" in Arlington. Williams applauded the hospital's long-standing service to the community and its commitment to helping make Arlington a welcoming city for all.
"One of the best medicines is to be kind," Williams said.
The Community Relations Commission has been working to promote acts of kindness among our residents, visitors and business community since Mayor Jeff Williams announced the Kindness Initiative in 2017. People are encouraged to report acts of kindness that they perform, witness or were the recipient of through the City's Ask Arlington mobile app, on the Acts of Kindness website, or by posting on social media using #ArlingtonKindness and @CityofArlington.
Click here to read more about Acts of Kindness occurring throughout The American Dream City.
The Community Relations Commission is seeking local businesses to provide rewards that can be used to recognize youth for their acts of kindness. Those who are interested in becoming a sponsor can email the commission at firstname.lastname@example.com. Kindness Ambassadors include the Texas Rangers, Chick-Fil-A, the Parks Mall, Prince Lebanese Grill and the Jim Ross Law Group.

In a modal testing of a wind turbine blade for the Danish based LM Glasfiber, Ramboll used Sting's catchy song 'Bring on the night' as the acoustic excitation force. During the test, a fully equipped concert system with amplifier, mixer, CD and loud speakers generated the acoustic sound waves, exciting the wind blade.
Some of the many challenges facing the offshore oil and gas industry are thermal buckling of pipelines and large amounts of free spans caused by a highly undulated seabed. To counter these problems, Ramboll has developed a comprehensive design analysis package, GOLIAT (General Offshore Linepipe Analysis Tool) for the oil and gas industry. The end result for the customer is a cost optimised design with a documented safety level.
The Culzean field was discovered in 2008 and is one of the largest fields in the British North Sea. Ramboll is providing detailed design of three jacket structures for the field, which has the potential to meet around 5 per cent of the UK's gas demand in 2020/21.
History was made in August 2009 when Murphy West Africa Ltd. began producing the Azurite field offshore The Democratic Republic of Congo. Azurite uses the industry's first Floating, Drilling, Production, Storage and Offloading (DFPSO) vessel.
Ramboll oil and gas experts studied the possible effects on the environment and existing structures as a result of introducing artificial islands to be used as the centre for future drilling and oil production in the Upper Zakum oil field off the coast of Abu Dhabi.
Ras Laffan is the centre of LNG and GTL activities in Qatar and the port is considered one of the largest LNG export facilities in the world. Ramboll Oil & Gas undertook the detailed engineering for an upgrade of the LNG berth at Ras Laffan during 2009 and 2010.
As a net importer of natural gas, the UK is heavily dependent on reliable gas supplies from gas exporting countries such as Norway. Ramboll Oil & Gas is in charge of the detailed design of the pipeline systems for the Gjøa field, which will be connected to the UK gas transmission system.
Changes in Mexican environmental regulations required the Mexican petroleum company, PEMEX, to reduce and eventually eliminate gas flaring on its offshore platforms. In order to comply with this requirement, additional compression capacity was needed on Abkatun D.
Dana Gas - a private sector, natural gas company - was appointed to develop, process and transport natural gas from the Khor Mor Gas Field in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, in order to provide natural gas to fuel domestic electric power generation plants near Erbil and Suleymania which provide electricity supplies to over four million Iraqis. This project has saved the Kurdistan Regional Government the need to use diesel for power generation with significant cost savings.
As part of the Tyra field development in the Danish North Sea, operator, Maersk Oil, contracted Ramboll to assist with a number of engineering services for the design of the Tyra South East A platform. Tyra South East A came on stream in 2002.
The Snorre field in the Norwegian North Sea is to be developed further through the addition of a wellhead platform, and Ramboll was appointed to provide conceptual recommendations for the facility.
The Sheringham Shoal Wind Farm, 20 kilometres off the coastal town of Sheringham in the UK will upon completion in 2012 produce clean energy to approximately 220,000 households and contribute to a reduction of 500,000 tonnes of CO2 every year.
The Morvin field is located 20 kilometres west of the Åsgard B platform at Haltenbanken in the Norwegian Sea.
The Quiriquire field, located in Monagas State, Venezuela, is the largest oil field in eastern Venezuela and also by worldwide standards it is a giant field. Maxus/YPF awarded Ramboll the detailed engineering for an onshore oil and gas production facility at Quiriquire.
We carried out a significant engineering project for the Polvo Field Development off the coast of Brazil.
In 2010 Qatar Petroleum initiated a major life time extension programme in the Dukhan field 95 km west of the capital Doha in Qatar. Ramboll was awarded the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) study for the cathodic protection and off plot power supply for more than 600 oil, gas, and water wells.
The Banyu Urip project involves the development of the major, Indonesian onshore oil field, Banyu Urip, operated by ExxonMobil's Mobil Cepu Ltd. The field is estimated to contain approximately 450 million barrels of oil.
The Maersk owned Gryphon Alpha FPSO processes oil and gas for the Gryphon, South Gryphon, Tullich and Maclure fields in the British North Sea. The oil is exported by tanker. Gas is exported via a pipeline to Beryl Alpha, where it is transported to shore via the SAGE system. For this project Ramboll performed detailed design including procurement and fabrication of 3 new air compressor skids.
Horns Rev 2 is an offshore wind farm located on Horns Rev (Horns Reef) in the eastern North Sea, about 30 km off the Danish coast.
Statoil will soon be supplying their customers with oil and gas from the Tyrihans field on the Norwegian continental shelf. In 2006 Ramboll Oil & Gas commenced a detailed design project for the new pipelines and subsea structures on Tyrihans.
Ramboll provided engineering services for a fast track offshore project in the Gulf of Mexico.
Ramboll was given the task of remodelling and enlarging an existing old flare system at the Dukhan oil field on the west coast of Qatar. In addition, we were to find a method for reclaiming some of the gas that would otherwise be burnt in the tower. At last, we were to implement improved combustion technology to obtain what is known as a "smokeless flare"- which means a flame without smoke.
In December 2016, Ramboll was awarded the detailed design contract for the offshore switchyard (OSY) for Elia's Modular Offshore Grid in Belgian waters.
BHP Billiton were extending their activities in the Gulf of Mexico, West Cameron area, a with an unmanned wellhead platform. Ramboll was awarded the design of this minimum-facility platform.
In 2006 Ramboll Oil & Gas commenced our biggest project to date when we initiated the pre-engineering work on the Nexus project for APL NEXUS and Samsung. Nexus is a generic FPSO with a free and fully weather-vaning turret mooring that can accommodate up to 6 risers.
Maersk Oil Qatar operates the Al Shaheen field located 180 kilometres off the North East coast of Qatar in the Arabian Gulf. First oil was produced in 1994, and since then the field has undergone tremendous development with modification works and new designs still taking place on a continuous basis.
Ramboll provided complete engineering services for topside and pipeline structures in the Gulf of Mexico.
80 kilometres off the coast of Qatar, Halul Island is the base for 11 large crude oil storage tanks and pumping facilities, as well as power generation and water desalination plants. Ramboll was chosen to be part of plans to expand this complex, by carrying out a detailed design of the crude oil import and export terminal.
As part of the Sleipner SPORT development project, satellite platform Gudrun was tied-in to Sleipner, for oil and gas processing and export. Statoil awarded Ramboll the FEED and detailed engineering of the subsea pipeline system.
The FPSO (Floating Production, Storage and Offloading) Piranema is the world's first cylinder shaped FPSO in production. It was constructed by Sevan Marine with Kanfa and Ramboll as engineering partners.
The Tyra Field is the largest gas field in the Danish North Sea sector – it is operated by Maersk Oil, and has been producing since 1984. Ramboll has been part of the Tyra East Rationalisation Project; just one phase in a series of Optimisation Projects in the field.
The national gas markets in Europe are changing rapidly. Continuous liberalisation, dependency on gas imports from outside the EU, and increasing consumer demand have stepped up the need for strategic as well as commercial storage facilities. Ramboll has been deeply involved in these developments since the 1990s and in 2008 we assisted Etzel-Kavernenbetriebsgesellschaft mbH & CO. KG with the development of the Etzel salt cavern storage facility near Wilhelmshaven, Germany.
In the summer of 2011 Ramboll won the detailed design of the offshore substation for DONG Energy's Westermost Rough Offshore Wind Farm in the UK. The wind farm is estimated to make a significant contribution to the UK government goal of installing 33GW of wind production by 2020. The contract with DONG Energy included the conceptual and detailed design of the entire substation, covering both jacket and complete topside design.
Ramboll Oil & Gas has provided a number of services for the Nybro gas treatment plant in Denmark, where natural gas from the South Arne and Tyra fields is purified and dried, and sulphur is removed, when necessary.
Ramboll will contribute to the development of the Kuvykin field in the Russian sector of the Caspian Sea with pre-FEED studies for a drilling complex and topside living quarters designed for operation in arctic conditions.
FPSO Teekay Petrojarl I was operating on the Glitne Field for Statoil, and was planned to operate for another five years there. In turn, the owner of the FPSO, Teekay Petrojarl Production, was evaluating to extend the lifetime of the FPSO with 15 years.
The Alba Field is one of the largest producers in the Gulf of Guinea. As engineering consultant, Ramboll paid a significant contribution to the development of the oil and gas field from 1997-2003.
Maersk Oil is the main operator of the Danish North Sea oil fields. In 2011 Maersk Oil entered its first cross-border tie-in, which enables gas and condensate from Norwegian waters to be taken to Maersk Oil's Harald platform for processing before exporting onwards.
Al Shaheen is a production oil and gas field off the North East coast of Qatar in the Arabian Gulf. The oil field lies over the North Gas Field; the largest gas field in the world. Al Shaheen has been developed by Maersk Oil in what constitutes one of the largest and most complex offshore oil and gas projects undertaken in the world today.
In 2010 DONG Energy made an interesting oil find in the Danish North Sea, in the Solsort Prospect. An extensive data collection programme was carried out, and subsequently Ramboll assisted on a number of studies to assess the feasibility in developing the asset.
DONG Energy Wind Power is developing the Hornsea Project One offshore wind farm in the UK. Ramboll carried out the design of a reactive compensation substation for the wind farm, as well as technical assistance during tendering, fabrication and installation.
Since 1995 Statoil has executed large scale extension and modification environmental-friendly projects on their refinery in Kalundborg, Denmark.
The Polarled pipeline project is part of the plans for developing fields further north in the Norwegian Sea.
As consultant to operator Maersk Oil, Ramboll has worked on a number of projects at the North Sea oil field, Dan F.
Georgia has experienced a pressing desire to build an Underground Gas Storage (UGS) for the sake of security of natural gas supply within the country of Georgia. An underground gas storage offers the ability to accommodate seasonal and short-term fluctuations in the demand for natural gas.
Ramboll has acted as steady engineering consultant to Maersk Oil on their Danish offshore oil field, Halfdan, since 1999. Ramboll's involvement started with early field development work and has continued through the years with ongoing brownfield work.
The Tyra field is the largest gas field in the Danish North Sea sector. It is operated by Total and has been producing since 1984.

Staples uses strong second half to surge past Greenwich
Recommended Video:
GREENWICH — Responding to adversity is the mark of a team on the rise and Staples faced a bit of it Tuesday against FCIAC lacrosse rival Greenwich.
The Cardinals struck first, scoring the matchup's first three goals, so how did the Wreckers respond?
The way coach Will Koshansky expected his senior-laden team to.
Staples found some rhythm offensively toward the end of the opening quarter, forged a halftime tie, then seized control in the second half in its impressive 10-7 victory against Greenwich at Cardinal Stadium.
Junior attack Pat Ciquera recorded a hat trick, while junior attackman Kyle Hines registered two goals and one assist to pace the Wreckers, who are on some roll as the season approaches its midway point.
Winners of four consecutive games, Staples sports a record of 7-1, heading into Thursday's meeting at Trumbull.
The Cards, who have dropped three straight games, after starting the season 3-0, led 3-0, before the visitors got on on track.
Freshman Charlie Howard tallied one goal and two assists for the victors, who received one goal apiece from senior midfielder TJ Lynch, senior Jack Saltus (senior), Michael Thompson (senior) and Aidan Best (freshman).
"This win is huge," Hines said. "I remember two years ago, it was our last game of the season, we lost to them in the playoffs and I was injured sitting on the bench with my foot in a boot. Now we're out here beating them and it feels great."
Greenwich was paced by senior attackman Jack Feda's hat trick and two goals from midfielder Lance Large. Senior midfielder Matt
Ciquera scored off a dodge and with the Wreckers in a man-up situation following a GHS penalty, Best tal
"It was a great first half for us," Lutz said. "We came out with some energy and momentum. It was a hard-fought physical game."
The Wreckers wasted little time in building a lead in the third quarter. With senior Matt Rowan winning the opening faceoff, Howard bounced a shot past GHS junior goalie Padraig Colligan (six saves for the game), giving Staples its first lead of the game at 6-5 13 seconds into the third quarter.
Ciquera struck at the 11:26 mark and Hines added a man-up goal with 10:41 left in the third quarter, putting the visitors on top, 8-5. Lynch and Ciquera notched goals late in the quarter, putting Greenwich in a 10-5 hole.
"We had a little bit of adversity and responded to it," Koshansky said. "With 20 seniors, it's kind of what I expected from my guys. The leadership on this team is incredible. We weren't nervous, or anxious during that time we were down 3-0."
Metalios and Feda brought Greenwich to within 10-7 with fourth quarter goals. Luciano (six saves) and junior Ben Howard (two saves) registered key fourth-quarter saves for Staples, which won 13 of 20 faceoffs.
"They came out firing in the second half and we couldn't match their intensity," Large said. "We did not come out strong in the second half, which hurt us. We had a lot of open opportunities today that we didn't finish, or capitalize on."

10 Questions on Breast Implants That You're Too Embarrassed to Ask
When you go for a consultation, you go there armed with questions. It is by educating yourself with the finer details of the procedure that you are able to make a well-informed decision. This helps to answer the question, "is breast augmentation really for me?"
So, we will get you a head start with these 10 common questions, because it is only wise that you don't go to your surgeon totally clueless about the surgery.
Will breast implants last forever?
No, breast implants do not last forever. While breast implants have the possibility of lasting a lifetime, manufacturers do not consider these as lifetime devices because there is still a possibility that the outer shell will fail anytime.
It is a common misconception that implants will only last a decade, but this is not true. Surgeons would advise patients that, if there is no problem with your implants then there's nothing that needs to be done with them – as long as you check them regularly.
Are breast implants safe?
Yes, breast implants are among the most studied medical device in history. There have been several unfortunate events that have tarnished its reputation but today's devices have been a product of years of clinical trials and studies.
Which is better – a silicone or saline implant?
Each type of implant has its pros and cons. Saline is less expensive and it is specifically used on women who are under 22. Silicone gel, on the other hand, feels more natural and ideal for women who are thin. There is no cut-and-dried rule on which is better for you, because this decision largely depends on your desired outcome with the guidance of your surgeon since both are viable options.
Will breast implants improve my sex life?
There is no consensus about this matter, although some experts speculate that breast implants can boost a woman's confidence and this can have some effects in the bedroom. There is, however, one Brazilian study which showed that women who have them experienced a significant boost in their arousal and sexual satisfaction. It was also noted that stretch marks in women who have gotten breast implants did not see any improvement in their sex lives.
Can breast implants cause weight gain?
Yes, weight gain is extremely common after a breast augmentation. The implants themselves can add a certain weight. On one hand, you also need to factor in post-operative swelling and fluid retention, which will eventually go down.
Weight gain can also be expected after your surgery because you need to be less active than normal as you recuperate. With limited movement, you are burning less calories. Therefore, it is very common to put in some weight during the early stages of recovery. Constipation and bloating is also expected during this time as this is typically caused by decreased mobility and pain killers used during and after surgery. So, load up on fluids and fibre to keep things moving along smoothly!
Does the skin stretch that goes along with breast surgery uncomfortable?
Once breast implants are put in place, it does stretch the skin but patients don't attribute their pain and discomfort to skin stretching. The beauty about our skin is that it accommodates – take pregnancy for example. Once skin has been stressed through stretching, it relaxes in response which alleviates the pain. Furthermore, in breast augmentation surgery, the implants are placed under the muscles which requires cutting the pectoral muscles which hurts more.
Will people be able to tell?
Generally, most cosmetic procedures enhance your looks or minimize your perceived flaws unnoticed. You may get a few compliments or remarks about your weight or your form, but typically, no one will know if you don't tell. Easing into a natural-looking result is something that you plan with your surgeon thoroughly, because when you get implants that are too big for your frame – it does give it away.
Will I lose my ability to breastfeed with breast implants?
While patients are warned about the possibility that they may lose the ability to do so, most women are able to breastfeed. It just takes careful planning and communication with your surgeon regarding your post-surgical expectations. Furthermore, women who have breast implants should not worry that breastfeeding will cause breast sagging, as evidenced by a study of nearly 120 moms. It is also worth mentioning that silicone breast implants do not affect breast milk, as claimed by the Federal Centers for Disease Control.
On one note, pregnancy plans should also be discussed with your surgeon because this also affects the timing of your surgery. You may ask your surgeon of choice on the general guidelines about this matter.
What is breast augmentation surgery like?
The surgery is fairly standard procedure that usually takes between an hour or two. It is also generally performed on an outpatient bases, although each surgeon has their own preferences and approach to breast augmentation. You just have to be more thorough in your search for a surgeon, until you find one whose approach is something you are confident and comfortable with.
Do breast implants cause cancer?
There have been several headlines that would scare you out of your decision about breast implants, but it is definitely wise to know all the details before deciding on it. Several articles claim that certain breast implants are linked to a rare type of cancer called anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL).
ALCL is not breast cancer.
Texture implants are pointed out as the culprit behind ALCL, but there are studies which suggest that these implants do not cause it. Daniel C. Mills, MD, president of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) claimed that, "there's a possibility it's bacteria that can hide in the texturing." This explains why surgeons use antibiotics as prophylactic treatment during surgery to get rid of any bacteria. Any surgery to remove defective implants are claimed to be a rare occurrence.
We hope this clears up a few things for you, but should you have more questions in mind feel free to send them over to Dr. Daood. Book your consultation today!

Once I completed the final version of my literacy comic, I looked back at my rough draft to see the before and after. I was truly pleased with my final product, especially my incorporation of the suggestions I received from my peers and Professor Morgen. Meeting with Professor Morgen, and the peer review papers definitely helped me think of ideas towards making my images more relevant to the story, and my dialogue easier to understand. Because my literacy narrative was a very personal piece of writing, I didn't know how to best portray my feelings and actions in each section of the comic. This dilemma encouraged me to look at the illustrations in Maus during the emotional, traumatic, and/or significant scenes. I noticed the facial expressions on the mice and attempted to translate similar facial expressions to the characters in my comic. However, the structure of the characters' faces in my comic vary, because my drawing abilities prevent me from producing consistent accurate illustrations. Although I still believe I was successful in matching the dialogue in each section to the picture.
In regards to creating a type of conflict in my story, I was happy with how and where I incorporated it into my piece. I always knew what the conflict in the story would be, but I could never think of how best to form the dialogue. I didn't know if I should provide all the details, or rather summarize an overall idea of what was happening. I went with the second option of summarizing because it allowed me to include other parts to my comic that were based off writing in my alphabetic narrative. I hope that viewers are still able to understand my story despite me not going completely into details.
As for a more detailed analysis of the structure of my comic, I hope one can notice the rhyming dialogue in my comic. After much deliberation over an entire week, I decided to rhyme the verbal dialogue in my literacy comic. This was definitely an idea that was out of my comfort zone, but Professor Morgen encourages creative thinking and different styles. I wanted to give this authentic style a chance, and I hope it paid off. Personally, I felt that the rhyming dialogue strategy was a positive, and I have so far received encouraging reviews in regards to the idea.
I am hopeful and excited to receive more feedback from my peers and Professor about my final comic, and create an even more creative and powerful version of my comic and alphabetic narrative.

The new Auto Fibs for TradeStation and Multicharts are nailing it on the currency markets across the board.
Auto Fibs on Currencies
The white line on the GBPUSD, EURJPY and EURUSD is the 38.2 Fibonacci Retracement line. Notice that each currency retraced to this area and then formed bearish bars. This indicates a potential move back down and provide a great low risk entry into the trend.
On the USDJPY 15-minute chart, price retraced up to the 50% Fibonacci line and immediately formed a bearish candlestick pattern to the short side.
Currently, the Auto Fibs are only available for Multicharts and Tradestation for intraday, daily and weekly charts. I will be adding TradingView indicators in the very near future, which will be available via subscription only.

Laser hair removal will work a lot better and be safer for patients who follow our simple advice.
You DON'T need to let your hair grow before treatment – if it is too long, it will need to be trimmed. So shaving up until a couple of days before treatment is fine.
However, you must NOT use any hair removal techniques that remove the follicle. For 6 weeks before laser hair removal, you should avoid:
Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment in the follicle, so if this has been removed at the root, then treatment will not be effective.
Switch to shaving instead.
Avoid tanning for six weeks before and after treatment. This includes:
All of these will make the skin darker and reduce the contrast with the hair follicle, making treatment less effective.
In addition, sun exposure both before and after laser hair removal makes complications more likely.
At the clinic, after laser hair removal, the therapist will cool the skin to make it more comfortable.
We normally use a cooling aloe vera gel or cream. However, other options include ice packs, anti-inflammatory creams or lotions, or cold water.
At home, you can continue to apply aloe vera gel to soothe the area treated. This is also a good moisturiser and it is helpful to nourish the skin.
You should not need to shave the area for a few days after treatment and the hair will regrow more sparsely. Deal with any unwanted hairs with shaving between treatments.
Wear sunscreen in the treated area for the following month. This is for a few reasons:
Complications are very rare with good therapists and good laser equipment. However, if you have any concerns (e.g. redness, swelling, blistering, scarring), then do contact our clinic as soon as possible. Quinn Clinics is owned and managed by a fully trained and qualified GP, Dr John Quinn, who is always on hand should any potential issues arise.

Credit for tax debt
"Nothing is as safe as death and taxes". This quote may be considered a classic and contains a lot of truth. Because neither death nor taxes can be bypassed. While you can push the former on a long bench, always accompanied by the hope that we are spared an early demise, this looks a bit different with the taxes. These can not be postponed and must be paid promptly. For tax debts are not a trivial offense and can even bring the victim in the worst case even in prison.
Anyone who has accumulated tax debts, should see that he gets this quickly under control. Especially self-employed and freelancers are threatened otherwise particularly great hardship. The tax office is in a position to simply close the companies concerned. Who can not settle his tax debts, is considered over-indebted and thus insolvent. The tax office then, like the health insurance fund or other public institutions, has the option of opening insolvency proceedings against a company.
But even individuals should not accumulate tax debts. They also run the risk of getting a lot of trouble with the tax office. Since tax debts do not just expire, you can not sit out these synonymous. And if you do not pay, you'll eventually go to jail. Therefore, the debts should always be addressed quickly, so that big trouble can not be stifled in any.
A credit for tax debt can help
Since, as a rule, the persons concerned can not raise the funds for the settlement of the tax debts on their own, it may make sense to take out a loan for tax debts. This must happen in good time, so that the tax debts can not be negatively affected already in the credit bureau. If that is the case, it will be very difficult to get a good credit for tax debts.
The best is a simple installment loan that can be adjusted directly to the debt. It is provided by most independent banks on very good terms. We recommend that you make a comparison of borrowing that not only shows you the cheapest loans, but also outlines what repayment modalities might be possible.
On top of that, the installment loan as credit for tax debts has the advantage that it is not earmarked. Therefore, the lender does not need to know that there are debts to be settled with the help of the loan. This facilitates borrowing immensely, as the banks always have little interest in settling debts. After all, debt is always a major credit risk. And this does not want a bank.
What should the loan amount be?
In order to take no risk, the loan amount for a credit for tax debts should always cover the debt completely. The tax office very rarely agrees to a deferral. And installment payment agreements with the authority can only be implemented to a limited extent. Therefore, the loan should be used for the compensation, which can then be easily repaid to the bank.
If there are other debts that have been made far away from the tax office, it is advisable to take them into credit as well. Because once money is loaned, then so that all debts are settled and no construction sites are left behind. Because otherwise threatens at some point the over-indebtedness, which would make life unnecessarily difficult.

It's one thing to strap on a baby bump prosthetic in the name of playing a character who's pregnant. But it's quite another to have a real bump and be accused of faking the pregnancy. It's one more thing that celebrity moms-to-be have to worry about -- aside from being pressured to pop right back into a size 2 dress a week after giving birth, of course. As crazy as it sounds, some celebrity moms are being accused of faking their pregnancies, and we've got the photos to prove it.

There are always rumors that follow certain celebrities. From off-screen hookups, scandalous affairs, and how celebrities really treat their assistants, people just can't get enough of a good piece of celebrity gossip. But what about the most nefarious rumors of all ... that our favorite stars are faking their pregnancies. Though we'll never know where these rumors start, once they start, they really collect momentum. For the true gossip-hound, the hows and whys of a fake Hollywood pregnancy can come together with a little sleuthing. So who are the famous ladies accused of this dubious crime?

These 12 celebrities were accused of faking their pregnancies -- and some even went out of their way to prove doubters wrong.
Image via Splash News/Corbis
When Beyonce was pregnant with Blue Ivy, assorted Bey-watchers speculated the pop star was faking it after her belly seemed to fold weirdly during a TV interview. She strongly denied the allegations.
Kim Kardashian2
Some of the early pictures of her first pregnancy made Kim K's critics think she was just gaining weight to look pregnant, and that she wasn't actually with child. To shut down the rumor mill, she skipped conventional maternity wear and wore sexy outfits even as her baby bump grew. And in a very Kardashian move, she posted that naked pregnant selfie.
Katie Holmes3
Suri Cruise is so clearly Katie Holmes's mini me, it's hard to believe how many people doubted the actress was ever pregnant. Or that she was pregnant by Cruise. Or that she was pregnant during the months that she said she was. But that that was the case 10 years ago.
Jennifer Lopez4
Back in 2007, the tabloids were reporting that Jennifer Lopez wasn't really preggers and that the whole thing was a sham. Turns out, it's the reports that were a sham—and JLo has twins to prove it.

Kelly Preston5
Onlookers speculated that Kelly Preston, 47 at the time of her pregnancy with son Benjamin, faked it since she never came clean about how she got pregnant at such a late age. As if she owed anyone an explanation.
Danielle Jonas6
Danielle and hubby Kevin Jonas faked her pregnancy to help boost ratings of the couple's reality show on E!, Married to Jonas, and sales of the Jonas Brothers' music -- or so churned the gossip mill in the months leading up to the birth of their daughter in 2014.
Jenni "JWoww" Farley7
The Jersey Shore reality star was four months pregnant when she talked about her miscarriage scare. But doubters thought her belly should have been bigger at that stage of her pregnancy -- the nerve.
Nicole Kidman8
Mrs. Keith Urban happily announced that she's welcomed a second daughter via surrogate in 2011, but it was her first pregnancy that had doubters whispering that Nicole Kidman had worn a fake baby bump while her sister Antonia carried the tot to term.

While expecting her second son Matthew in 2011, the actress raised suspicions that she was actually using a surrogate. Some fans accused her of rocking a fake baby bump throughout her pregnancy.
Eva Mendes10
What's worse than being accused of faking your pregnancy? Faking it just to save your relationship. That was the rumor making the rounds when Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling were expecting daughter Esmeralda.
Kate Middleton11
When Kate Middleton emerged from the hospital less than 12 hours after giving birth to Charlotte last year, some speculated a surrogate must've delivered the newborn princess. How else could she have looked so regal?
Angelina Jolie12
When Angelina Jolie was pregnant with twins, there were some rumors that she could have used a surrogate. Why? Too slim to really be carrying twins.

Man Holds Up Cumberland Farms In Beaver Dam Lake
By Mark Gerlach
A man wearing a green sweatshirt and jeans robbed Cumberland Farms on Route 94 in the Beaver Dam Lake section of Cornwall this week. The suspect, who was not apprehended by police, allegedly had his hand in his sweatshirt pocket and told the cashier he had a gun.
He yelled "open the register you're being robbed," Trooper Steven Nevel, state police Troop F public information officer, confirmed citing a police report. The suspect's mouth was covered by a sweatshirt, police said.
A store employee didn't see the weapon. The suspect grabbed an undisclosed amount of money from behind the counter, and urged the employee not to call the police. A small amount of money was left in the draw, police said.
The robbery occurred at about 2:08 a.m.
The investigation is ongoing. Those with information about this incident are asked to call state police at 845-344-5300.

Dear Michael,
You often protested being put in your crib as a baby to go to sleep at night. No sooner would Mom lay you down, in your eggshell-blue pajamas, than you might start to cry. We would retreat to our bedroom and cross our fingers that you might soon cry yourself to sleep.
But instead you would cry and cry, louder and louder, expressing your deep dissatisfaction with your parents and the general injustices of the universe. We would lay in bed with our eyes wide, wincing at every wail.
Then you might start coughing, a hacking cough, that would turn into gagging, and we would hear you retch, once, twice, three times. Oh, you had done it again. You had pulled that cute stunt you liked to pull.
You had vomited.
Many a night you carried out this little trick, crying so hard, upsetting yourself so much, that finally you would throw up. We would know as soon as we heard the gagging that you might do it again, and the retching usually told us that you already had. We would come in as the clean-up crew.
It would really stink. Often Mom had to give you a bath and change the sheets.
Now, nobody is saying you vomited on purpose just to stay up and get our attention. Clearly something was bothering you a lot. But what? Was it having two parents and a grandmother who adored your very being? Was it our spacious apartment? Was it our financial security? Give me a clue here. We never even came close to figuring it out.
And I have to level with you. All that puking was a drag. But let me tell you this: if Mom ever complained – about changing the sheets, about the extra laundry, about your protesting and your seemingly willful vomiting – I missed it.
But then, that's your mother for you. In all the years I've known her – it's 33 now – she's never done anything less than exactly what she's needed to do. As for your nocturnal upchucking, eventually you stopped, and it came as no small relief to us both. You had learned to go to sleep without making a fight out of it. You had discovered that maybe going to sleep surrounded by love and security was really none too hard after all.

Home / Insights / Women In Business / Lillian Yu - Disrupting the male dominated world of combat sports promotions
19 July 2017
On Sunday June 25, Melbourne hosted the first all female Professional Muay Thai Promotion in Australia – Naksoo 2. Twenty four highly skilled professional sports women came together to produce not only a very technical and competitive exhibition of Muay Thai but an outstanding display of sportsmanship and comdraderie.
Naksoo2 is the hard work of Lilian Yu, the first woman to be registered as a combat sports promotor in Victoria and Australia. Lily and her partner Dennis O'Dea own Dynamite Muay Thai – a Muay thai and kickboxing gym in the heart of Melbourne's CBD. A gym well known for its tough training regime and its culture. Dynamite promotes self-confidence and resilience and has turned around the lives of so many of its members over the past five years.
Naksoo 2 was developed to promote women in sport, and to give these phenomenal athletes an opportunity to showcase their skills in an environment where they are not only paid but are supported by everyone in the stadium including by the opposition.
Traditionally combat sport bring images of rough and bloody fighting where competitors bad mouth and sledge each other right throughout the competition, Naksoo 2 is far from this. The day before the promotion begins the competitors are required to weigh in to meet their weight classes. Competitors arrive dehydrated and starved. During the weigh in everyone in the room supported and cheered on their fellow fighters. Post weigh in food and drinks were shared amongst the room – something completely unheard of in the men's world of combat sports.
The day of the fights, competitors share dressing rooms and talk to each, share supplies and wish each other good luck. Prior to each fight the competitors perform a Wai Kru ceremony, designed to pay respect and express their gratitude to their teachers but it also acts like a Haka to intimidate the opponent. Even during the Wai Kru ceremony's competitors were supporting and acknowledging each other and at the end of each round and the conclusion of the fights, competitors again acknowledged their opposition and congratulated each other.
Lilian Yu is a trained primary school teacher but her passion for the sport of Muay Thai and to support and empower women to develop their self-confidence and achieve anything, has lead her into the world of sports promotion. Putting together Naksoo has meant a lot of blood sweat and tears, combined with sleepless night for Lily. She is competing in an exclusive male dominated world and being young and a woman has meant that she has had to battle for everything including recognition amongst other promoters and trainers. Gaining sponsorships for the fighters and the events itself has also been a challenge, due mostly to the male dominated rough image of the sport and the limited recognition of the high skill and technical ability of the professional women. This has meant that Lily has not only has to battle hard physically but financially as well – she personally supports and sponsors a large number of the fighters and the event itself.
Naksoo 2 is a amazing example of how a sport can empower women not only the competitors but the promoter herself to believe in themselves and break though in a world where male domination still unfortunately exists.

Back at Wakefield Park again for Round 2 of the asbk Championship and it certainly was anything but ordinary! Big crashes, bikes flying over walls...and that was just in the practice sessions!
More on that later...We arrived at Wakefield on Thursday March 21 and set up our pit, squeezed in all nice and cozy with the NextGen BMW Team. As we were gearing up for the weekend's sessions, we noticed that there were some very unusual suspension combinations being used by the other big name teams. It looked like some quite heavy springs were being used and the geometry of bike chassis were set very high in a few cases...most likely due to the asbk spec Pirelli tyres.
|The line-up to get our bikes checked over by the scrutineers.
|At Scrutineering
|A day of set up
|Getting ready for action
The new Pirelli homoligated tyres are very different in the way they are manufactured now and that has caused a few headaches with the set up. Where we were able to trust a certain attitude in the old tyres, they're behaving quite different to what we'd expect now, leaving us to try and find a new setup protocol.
Sloan was on fire during the practice sessions but the uncertainty of the new tyres led to a few changes which cost us a few positions in qualifying. Coming from midfield in race 1 he managed to pick up 5 positions and was catching the group ahead for a 12th at a very solid race pace. Race 2 saw him repeat his advancement but the race was red flagged due to Lochie Epis high-siding as he exited turn 2…the same turn Aiden Wagner came unstuck in the first practice session.
Ted Collins managed to go unscathed after a massive crash in the 2nd practice session on Friday saw his NextGen BMW go flying like a rocket over the wall at turn 10…arriving in a cloud of dust and unceremoniously planting itself in the middle of pit lane. While bemused and concerned race marshals and onlookers alike were taken by surprise, Ted was seen scrambling over the concrete wall to safety. The NextGen boys had their work cut out for them that night trying to get Ted's bike ride-able for the next day's sessions.
|Ted's bike launching over the barrier at turn 10 in Practice Session 2
|Aiden Wagner's bust up in Practice Session 1
|Aiden's bike post crash. Taking a soil sample, perhaps?
We are certainly glad to see these tops riders walk away from their crashes with only minor injuries. Although this is a dangerous sport and we are all competing against one another, we don't like seeing our comrades get hurt.
|The bLU cRU Oceania Junior Cup bikes take up an entire shed! So cool to see these kids get out there and race.
Our trips are never without shenanigans and there were plenty on this trip too. As some may know, there is a landmark in Goulburn NSW known as The Big Merino. It's a larger than life sized (15.2 metres tall) concrete sheep at the corner of Hume and Sowerby Streets. We HAD to get a photo of Sloan with it...seeing as he's a kiwi and they're known for their affinity with sheep and all.
Anyway...long story short, this image of Sloan Frost posing suspiciously with said sheep and it's massive testicles goes viral as we end up comedic fodder for the renowned Facebook group, DEAR ASBK...thanks Boris! lol
|Sloan and his new partner in crime!
Stay with us for our next blog as we turn our new Suzuki GSXR 1000 into a second race bike for Sloan Frost.

text: Today, microprocessors are built with silicon. But tomorrow, they'll be built with something else. This past week, with a paper published in the academic journal Nature Communications, researchers at Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany and the Swedish research institute Acreo AB revealed a new means of building chips using graphene -- a substance long hailed as the future of micro-electronics -- and their work takes the material that much closer to fulfilling its potential. Graphene is essentially sheets of carbon measuring a single atom thick, and it can carry electric charges much faster than materials used in today's chips. Its discovery won the Nobel Prize for two University of Manchester scientists, but we're still a long way from seeing it in commercial processors. Though graphene is wonderfully adept at conducting electricity, it doesn't work quite as well as a semiconductor -- which is essential to building transistors -- and it doesn't easily connect to other parts of a chip. But we're closer than we were before. As reported by the BBC, the German and Swedish researchers have honed a new breed of graphene that's made using a substance called silicon carbide. Silicon carbide is basically a crystal made from silicon and carbon, and if you heat it up, the silicon atoms will rise up from the crystal, leaving a layer of graphene below. What these researchers have done is develop a new way of etching electrical channels into the silicon carbide. Adding hydrogen to the etching process, they can change the way the silicon carbide crystal ties into the layer of graphene. They can make some parts of the material act as a conductor while others act as a semiconductor. This lets them build transistors, but it also means these transistors will more easily connect to other parts of a chip. But graphene is just one substance that could remake the future of computing. One day, we may see computer hardware made with everything from sapphires and diamonds to bacteria and, well, salmon testes (see images above). Of course, we may just stick with what we've always used. As those researchers in Germany and Sweden push for graphene chips, others are working with a substance called silicene, which is essentially a single layer of...silicon atoms. Image: U.S. Army Materiel Command/FlickrPatrick Charton and the French nuclear waste management agency ANDRA have designed a disk that's made of sapphire. It stores data using engravings of platinum, according to Science. Charton says the disk will survive for a million years -- which is quite a bit longer than the life span of today's hard disks. The idea is that the disk will always be there to let our ancestors known where we've buried the nuclear waste. Of course, there's another problem. "We have no idea what language to write it in," Charton says. Image: dctim1/FlickrScientists at the University of Southern California have built a quantum computer inside a diamond. According to the researchers, a diamond isn't just a girl's best friend. It can help prevent decoherence -- where a quantum system collapses into a classical system, breaking your quantum computer. Their diamond machine turns a rogue nitrogen nuclei and an accompanying electron into a pair of quantum bits, or qubits, which can hold exponentially more information than classical bits. The team attempts to solve the decoherence problem by constantly changing the spin of the electron using microwave pulses. "It's a little like time travel," one of the researchers told the USC news service, explaining that if you switch the direction of the spin, you can shift an electron back to a past state. Image: Vermin Inc/FlickrResearchers at the University of Leeds hope to build a hard drive out of bacteria. Basically, they're feeding iron to these microscopic organisms and turning them into tiny magnets, and -- at least in theory -- these magnetized bacteria can then be used to store 1s and 0s. Plus, they can serve as tiny wires that connect other micro-electronic devices. "It is possible to tune these biological wires to have a particular electrical resistance. In the future, they could be grown connected to other components as part of an entirely biological computer," Dr. Masayoshi Tanaka told the Leeds news service. Image: Sanofi Pasteur/FlickrHP says it has developed a brand new electrical building block called the "memristor" -- a resistor that can store information even after losing power -- and this new-age contraption is built using two layers of the semiconductor titanium dioxide. Basically, one layer of titanium dioxide includes "oxygen vacancies" and the other doesn't. The top layer with the vacancies is conductive, and the bottom layer without the vacancies isn't. If you send a voltage through the device, you can move the vacancies from one layer to the other, and that let's you build a switch. It's "on" when the vacancies are in one layer, "off" when they're in another. The trick is that the switch can hold it's information even when it loses power. Memristor is short for memory resistor, and if HP can bring the thing to market, it could significantly improve the efficiency of today's memory technologies. Image: WikicommonsResearchers from National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany have built a write-once-read-many (WORM) data storage device using DNA. And not just any DNA. DNA from the testes of a salmon. DNA plays nicely with metal nanoparticles, and when you mix it with these ultra-small pieces of metal, you can change its optical and electrical properties. When you do that, you can store information, switching between an electrically conductive state (a "1") and electrically resistive state (a "0"). Why salmon testes? The researchers say that salmon testes produce lots of sperm. And that sperm includes lots of DNA. Plus, all that sperm is bio-friendly. What more do you want? Image: Austin Baker/Flickr

There is no doubt that the individual and individuals are important to God. In fact we can say that every individual human being matters to God. God created each of us in his image, and treats every human being with respect as such. Even though so many evils in a world of hurt we have to leave with God, since life often seems unfair, quite broken, our own difficulties that way not even close to the plight others experience. So what is said here is not at all to disparage the importance of the individual before God and in the world.
But while the individual in scripture is far from ignored, in fact, just the opposite, there is a clear emphasis on the importance of community, or individals together in communion in knowing each other, living with each other's interests in view, and not just their own individual interests. On the most basic level this happen in families in which the spouses inevitably should put their partner's interest at least on the same level as their own, and surely higher, in the way of Christ. And of course good parents inevitably sacrifice their own wants and desires for the good of their children.
In scripture God called an individual, Abraham, to call a people to himself. Yes, a people. Human beings are meant to live in community. To be human in significant part is to be in relationship to another human; it is not good for the human to be alone. God is creating a people in Jesus who not only enter into communion with God, which by the way is a Trinitarian communion of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, but into communion with other humans in reflecting something of that Triune communion in God himself.
We find the formation of the nation of Israel meant to be a light to the world, in showing God's light of truth and love to the nations. Blessed to be a blessing, that calling realized in its fullness in Christ's fulfillment of it. And now the church in Jesus together is to proclaim and be a witness to that fulfillment to the world, by gathering together for the word, the sacraments, and the common life. Everyone who is a member of Christ through faith and baptism, is also a member of his body, the church. We in Jesus not only belong to him, but to each other.
This isn't easy, given our culture in the United States, the first nation built on the Modernist Enlightenment in which at least one of its pillars is indiviual rights. It becomes all about my rights. And we're already broken because of sin, not only a personal brokenness, but along with that a brokenness in relationships, even if by common grace much good still goes on. We want to be left alone, but that urge mirrors our bent to want God to leave us alone, or meet us on our own terms. But that is not the way in Jesus, as we see over and over again in scripture. It isn't easy, but there is no other option in really following the Lord, in truly being Christian.

text: Three Key Reasons You Should Consider Offering Unlimited Paid Time Off (PTO) For Your CompanyBy Janet Behm - Tuesday, March 19, 2019 0Comments "It is not more vacation we need - it is more vocation." Eleanor Roosevelt There is a lot of discussion these days surrounding employees taking time off. Specifically, a number of organizations have enacted "Unlimited Paid Time Off (PTO)" as company policy. No limit to vacation days ... for all of their employees. If this concept is foreign to you, it's reasonable to ask how these companies meet their quarterly objectives, and finish the fiscal year above and beyond their goals. But although there can be setbacks, I want to give you a few reasons why Unlimited PTO might be an interesting conversation to drum up with HR ... all you'll need to bring is a cup of coffee and wide open mind.

I trust that you and your families, and your club's employees and members all had a wonderful Holiday Season and a Happy New Year, and I invite you to view the NCA holiday video if you haven't seen it as fitting bookend to this amazing season.
For those of us getting older—I guess technically that is everyone—or more apropos, for those of us "older folks" for whom time flies, it is hard to believe that it is already 2017. However, after having lived through this past election season, some of us never thought this time would come.
2017 will bring us new things and some of the same (e.g., Alabama vs. Clemson in the College Football Playoff Championship and, hopefully, a repeat for Villanova as Basketball National Champions), but it is the new things that are most exciting for the National Club Association and the private club industry.
Obviously this starts with the new administration. In two weeks, President-elect Trump will be sworn into office and immediately affect change that directly benefits our industry. We are very excited about this and about the fact that nearly all the candidates NCA supported through ClubPAC won re-election and will be able to work with the new administration to deliver pro-growth, pro-business, pro-club initiatives. Look to the winter 2017 issue of Club Director where we delve more deeply into the next administration and congressional makeup and what it means for the industry.
Besides what appears to be a promising economy in 2017 according to economist Chad Moutray, things to look forward to in 2017 from NCA include new corporate partnerships that benefit the industry and NCA members; new and expanded education offerings, products and programs focused on club governance; an even more substantial National Club Conference that provides insight on the issues important to successful club operations; more media opportunities for NCA like NPR's "All Things Considered" and "Through the Noise"; and continued growth in membership, the NCA Foundation and ClubPAC.
I hope you and your club have a prosperous and successful 2017 and please let us know how we can help you and your club. And good luck with those 2017 resolutions—but if you are like me, some have already been broken.
Warm Regards,
Henry Wallmeyer
NCA CEO & President


text: In the late seventeenth century the invention of coke, the smokeless fuel source, brought about the creation of pale malt. It is believed that before this time, all beers were lightly smoked and brown in colour because the malts were dried over wood fires. The Brown Ales that we are familiar with today are a relatively modern creation, introduced as a midpoint between Porter and Mild. Most of these Brown Ales tend toward either sweet and malty or medium-dry and hoppy, but in all instances you can expect chocolate, caramel, toffee, dried fruit, nut, biscuit and toast flavours.

US supernatural drama Shadowhunters will end with a two-hour final at the close of the upcoming second half of season three.
Freeform cancelled the series, which screens in Australia via Netflix.
"We are very proud of Shadowhunters, a series that broke new ground in the genre world and became a fan favorite," the network said in a statement. "However, along with our partners at Constantin, we reached the very difficult decision not to renew the show for a fourth season. But as big supporters and fans ourselves, Freeform insisted on and championed the filming of a special two-part finale that would give devoted fans a proper ending. The twelve episodes will air in spring of 2019. We want to thank our talented creators, producers, cast and crew along with our colleagues at Constantin for their hard work and dedication and to Cassie Clare for her incredible book series. We look forward to the final chapter of this breakthrough drama."
The second half of the show's third and final season — which will consist of 12 all-new episodes — is due to premiere later in 2019.

Maybe you have discovered that it is hard to search regarding a beloved or possibly a loved one? Imagine shopping not understanding the preferences of these individual. It is usually a good daunting task to really look for a gift how the person likes. Sometimes you could be so involved with your health which you may not really have the time and energy to buy. Everyone have to have experienced this specific situation at some point of your time. Thankfully for people technological know-how is basically advanced since everything is possible together with the mouse click. Daily companies develop different solutions to make life less difficult.
Prepaid visa on line are likely to be plastic money utilizing a plastic-type zippy card for the limit around the value how the employer or possibly a parent wish to pay over a show a child, or bonus, incentives, remissions with regard to employees. People who find themselves giving you to definitely someone all someone should do is purchase it and provides it. That it is prepaid it is therefore easy, safe and beneficial to have one issued. Giving one enables your family member or good friends to choose what exactly they will like in a budget which you like. The gifted individual fortunate to obtain you can visit any online merchandising store or an actual retail store and then use it.
Another thing that's strongly advisable is usually that the back in the card be signed on from the user/ receiver. By doing this whether it gets dropped or perhaps compromised by using it can not be utilised by some other person. Also, it's wise to preserve some type of record from the card number together with your personal particulars that were directed at the provider, for the same reason – that's, in case there is loss or stolen property (property to be the card) it really is immediately possible to be able to make contact with the provider and cancel the previous card and acquire it replaced instead, that is extremely advisable.
Should you not know how to use your Prepaid visa gift certificates when you have received, the vital thing to do is usually to see if it's also been activated or otherwise. Some cards are activated instantly through the card issuing entity maybe it's a bank or possibly a non bank. Nevertheless a number of them need to be activated by the user. It is usually important to understand the amount balance has been credited to the card before you run out and making purchases. The reason being the card won't let you know just how much it's, and merchants cannot constantly look for you, although a number of them certainly could.
For people who are working, using Prepaid VISA On the net is often a system which is hassle-free and great for the next reasons: The member of staff no longer has to pay for interest to cash checks. Since the monetary sum on account of them is instantly filled or perhaps deposited onto debit cards, employees can immediately gain access to their pay onto it. The payroll card can be employed on to shop at stores. This might definitely help to make shopping less complicated on the table. Those might be a excellent option just like a gift as you understand you can not get it wrong as well as the individual receiving the gift can purchase something determined by their liking.
