The theory of conversational implicature originates from Gricean pragmatics, involving concepts of the cooperative principle, maxims of conversation and their properties, to generalized and particularized implicatures, among others. The theory's originator, Paul Grice, delivered his ideas at the William James lectures at Harvard University in 1967. This revolutionized the direction of pragmatics and opened new frontiers of research in linguistics and beyond. The theory of conversational implicature, a cornerstone of Grice's thinking, aims to capture how language is used in communication to maximum effect while being efficient as possible. Since Grice's proposal, a new generation of Gricean theorists has advanced the theory, while others have taken issue with Gricean explanations and moved to create other theoretical models of meaning, such as Relevance theory. Overall, this article is separated into two distinct parts. The first part is a review of Gricean theory and its evolution into the neo-Gricean framework, with a selection of key articles and books. This is followed by an overview of post-Gricean approaches, theories that compete with Gricean conversational implicature. The second part of the article attempts to bring together the wide-ranging applications of conversational implicature to different fields. This not only includes linguistics and its subfields but also areas such as business and literature.
General Overviews
The literature on conversational implicature is rich and diverse, and included here are volumes that provide the necessary breadth and depth. A recommended starting point is Huang 2014, Pragmatics (previously published in 2007), which provides clear and concise treatment of conversational implicature and related phenomena. Secondly, there are various handbooks and encyclopedias written on different topics by leading scholars and edited to bring maximum effect to each volume. Allan and Jaszczolt 2012, Cummings 2010, Mey 2009, and Horn and Ward 2004 are all authoritative texts, and all cover similar topics that are approached slightly differently. Handbook of Pragmatics deserves special mention as it is an immense resource spanning over nine volumes, naturally being comprehensive. Finally, Huang 2012 provides a full and authoritative guide to the meanings of the terms, concepts, and theories employed in pragmatics, including conversational implicature.

Google and Sony Partner
For years pundits have been predicting the eventual merging of the various television and media services into one box. Up until now only the most technically adroit among us with ample wallets could afford and actually use the first generation hybrid devices. Google and Sony promise to change that.
I have written often about the various video services that are now available to most of us. Gone are the days when our choices for viewing were controlled by broadcasters, cable/satellite companies or the video store. The Internet has changed all of that since it levels the distribution playing field. Programs can be sent directly to the viewer whenever they want to watch.
One of the negative by-products of this explosion in choices is the ability to keep track of what is available. It is like drinking water from a fire hydrant … it might quench your thirst but the experience is not pleasant. The TV viewing choices are so vast that if there was a printed "TV Guide" containing all the channels and programs it would have be the size of the New York City phone book to list a single week's offerings.
Google TV promises to do much more than only physically connecting all of your sources of programming such as over-the-air broadcasting, cable, satellite and the Internet. It has an easy-to-use interface that allows you to know what is available and to actually watch or record the programs. Perhaps this is the most important development.
The Google TV also allows you to access the non-video services on the Internet such as facebook, Cincinnati.com and even email. Recent studies show a significant increase in people who report that they watch TV and surf Internet simultaneously. Whether a single screen device will prove to be adequate remains to be seen.
As the Internet becomes more robust and more households get increased data delivery speed, TV will continue to migrate from the traditional distribution services. Will this improve the quality of the programming and reduce the costs? That remains to be seen. I, for one, am not holding my breath.

Arduino is an open embedded hardware and software platform designed for rapid creativity. It's both a great introduction to embedded programming and a fast track to building all kinds of cool devices like animatronics, robots, fabulous blinky things, animated clothing, games, your own little fabs... you can build what you imagine. Follow along as we learn both embedded programming and basic electronics.
What Does Arduino Do?
Arduino was invented by Massimo Banzi, a self-taught electronics guru who has been fascinated by electronics since childhood. Mr. Banzi had what I think of as a dream childhood: endless hours spent dissecting, studying, re-assembling things in creative ways, and testing to destruction. Mr. Banzi designed Arduino to be friendly and flexible to creative people who want to build things, rather than a rigid, overly-technical platform requiring engineering expertise.
The microprocessor revolution has removed a lot of barriers for newcomers, and considerably speeded up the pace of iteration. In the olden days building electronic devices means connecting wires and components, and even small changes were time-consuming hardware changes. Now a lot of electronics functions have moved to software, and changes are done in code.
Arduino is a genuinely interactive platform (not fake interactive like clicking dumb stuff on Web pages) that accepts different types of inputs, and supports all kinds of outputs: motion detector, touchpad, keyboard, audio signals, light, motors... if you can figure out how to connect it you can make it go. It's the ultimate low-cost "what-if" platform: What if I connect these things? What if I boost the power this high? What if I give it these instructions? Mr. Banzi calls it "the art of chance." Figure 1 shows an Arduino Uno; the Arduino boards contain a microprocessor and analog and digital inputs and outputs. There are several different Arduino boards.
You'll find a lot of great documentation online at Arduino and Adafruit Industries, and Mr. Banzi's book Getting Started With Arduino is a must-have.
Packrats Are Good
The world is over-full of useful garbage: circuit boards, speakers, motors, wiring, enclosures, video screens, you name it, our throwaway society is a do-it-yourselfer's paradise. With some basic skills and knowledge you can recycle and reuse all kinds of electronics components. Tons of devices get chucked into landfills because a five-cent part like a resistor or capacitor failed. As far as I'm concerned this is found money, and a great big wonderful playground. At the least having a box full of old stuff gives you a bunch of nothing-to-lose components for practice and experimentation.
The Arduino IDE
The Arduino integrated development environment (IDE) is a beautiful creation. The Arduino programming language is based on the Processing language, which was designed for creative projects. It looks a lot like C and C++. The IDE compiles and uploads your code to your Arduino board; it is fast and you can make and test a lot of changes in a short time. An Arduino program is called a sketch. See Installing Arduino on Linux for installation instructions.
Hardware You Need
You will need to know how to solder. It's really not hard to learn how to do it the right way, and the Web is full of good video howtos. It just takes a little practice and decent tools. Get yourself a good variable-heat soldering iron and 60/40 rosin core lead solder, or 63/37. Don't use silver solder unless you know what you're doing, and lead-free solder is junk and won't work right. I use a Weller WLC100 40-Watt soldering station, and I love it. You're dealing with small, delicate components, not brazing plumbing joints, so having the right heat and a little finesse make all the difference.
Another good tool is a lighted magnifier. Don't be all proud and think your eyesight is too awesome for a little help; it's better to see what you're doing.
Adafruit industries sells all kinds of Arduino gear, and has a lot of great tutorials. I recommend starting with these hardware bundles because they come with enough parts for several projects:
- Adafruit ARDX – v1.3 Experimentation Kit for Arduino This has an Arduino board, solderless breadboard, wires, resistors, blinky LEDs, USB cable, a little motor, experimenter's guide, and a bunch more goodies. $85.00.
- 9-volt power supply. Seven bucks. You could use batteries, but batteries lose strength as they age, so you don't get a steady voltage.
- Tool kit that includes an adjustable-temperature soldering iron, digital multimeter, cutters and strippers, solder, vise, and a power supply. $100.
Other good accessories are an anti-static mat and a wrist grounding strap. These little electronics are pretty robust and don't seem bothered by static electricity, but it's cheap insurance in a high-static environment. Check out the Shields page for more neat stuff like the Wave audio shield for adding sound effects to an Arduino project, a touchscreen, a chip programmer, and LED matrix boards.
Essential Electric Terminology
Let's talk about volts (V), current (I), and resistance (r) because there is much confusion about these. Volts are measured in voltage, current is measured in amps, and resistance is measured in ohms. Electricity is often compared to water because they behave similarly: voltage is like water pressure, current is like flow rate, and resistance is akin to pipe diameter. If you increase the voltage you also increase current. A bigger pipe allows more current. If you decrease the pipe size then you increase resistance.
Talk is cheap, so take a look at Figure 3. This is an old circuit board from a washing machine. See the stripey things? Those are resistors. All circuit boards have gobs of resistors, because these control how much current flows over each circuit. The power supply always pushes out more power than the individual circuits can handle, because it has to supply multiple circuits. So there are resistors on each circuit to throttle down the current to where it can safely handle it.
Again, there is a good water analogy — out here in my little piece of the world we use irrigation ditches. The output from the ditch is too much for a single row of plants, because its purpose is to supply multiple rows of plants with water. So we have systems of dams and diverters to restrict and guide the flow.
In your electronic adventures you're going to be calculating resistor sizes for your circuits, using the formula R (resistance) = V (voltage) / I (current). This is known as Ohm's Law, named for physicist Georg Ohm who figured out all kinds of neat things and described them in math for us to use. There are nice online calculators, so don't worry about getting it right all by yourself.
That's all for now. In the next tutorial, we'll learn about loading and editing sketches, and making your Arduino board do stuff.

As the busy Labor Day weekend approaches, Yosemite National Park has closed 91 tent cabins that are the focal point of an investigation into the deaths of two visitors from the rare hantavirus.
On Thursday, two additional cases surfaced, bringing the total number of people infected with the virus after visiting the park to six.
In addition to the two people who died, three have recovered and one is hospitalized but improving. All visited the park between early June and mid-July.
The closed structures represent nearly one-fourth of the 400 cabins in popular Curry Village.
Park officials are moving visitors to other lodging within the park and working with outside proprietors to find accommodations for guests, park ranger Jana McCabe said.
All of the closed buildings are "signature" cabins in the Boystown area of Curry Village. They have a double-walled design with insulation to keep them warmer in the winter.
Four of the infected people, including both fatalities, stayed in the signature cabins.
The decision to close them came after crews found evidence of mouse activity between the insulation and the canvas, McCabe said.
"We want to make sure that guests are safe and we just weren't satisfied that what we were able to do was sufficient," she said.
The hantavirus is spread as people come into contact with the feces or urine of infected mice.
The structures will remain closed indefinitely until officials can figure out the best way to protect the public, McCabe said.
Among the six people who became infected, a Pennsylvania resident and a 37-year-old Alameda County man died. Others were from the Sacramento area and Southern California.
Since learning of the illnesses, park crews had been temporarily closing some of the signature cabins and retrofitting them, including plugging up holes where rodents could enter.
But after finding evidence of mouse activity this week in gaps between the double walls, "we weren't satisfied that that was enough," McCabe said.
Whether or when the cabins will reopen remains in question.
"It depends on what public health and wildlife officials advise us," McCabe said. "If they can't be made safe, they won't be reopened."
The signature cabins were built after a 2008 rock fall in Curry Village.
The park has been attempting to contact nearly 2,900 people who have stayed in the cabins since mid-June and urge them to seek immediate medical care if they develop hantavirus symptoms, which include fever, severe muscle aches and fatigue.
Anyone with questions can call 209-372-0822 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
Before this year, only two cases of hantavirus had been identified among park visitors. One person became infected in 2000 and another in 2010. Both survived. They had stayed in Tuolumne Meadows.
Yosemite leaders are trying to figure out what may have changed to cause this year's problems. Questions being pursued include whether the mouse population has grown this summer and whether changes in the weather could have played a role, McCabe said.

Alabama linebacker Courtney Upshaw (41) closes in to sack Auburn quarterback Kiehl Frazier (10) in the second quarter at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala., Saturday, Nov. 26, 2011. (The Birmingham News/Mark Almond)
-- Fans and ticket brokers who loaded up on 2013 Iron Bowl tickets during the preseason are benefiting from the current market heading into the Nov. 30 showdown at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
As of Monday evening, the average asking price was $728,
In July, the average asking price for Iron Bowl tickets was $348.34. That was long before Auburn went on its 10-1 run through the 2013 schedule to essentially make this year's matchup with No. 1 and undefeated Alabama an SEC West championship game.
TiqIQ, a search engine that aggregates sales from major ticket sites, currently lists a selection of 1,654 tickets available on a bevy of resale websites, including StubHub and eBay.
Among the five major ticket broker websites we searched, the get-in price is as low as $374 and tops out at $3,000. Fans can currently get six tickets together on Row 1 of Section 6 behind Auburn's bench for $18,000 plus shipping and handling
There are a handful of other premium seats going for more than $1,500, but the majority of tickets fall somewhere in the $500-$800 range.
In the days leading up to Alabama's September trip to Texas A&M, the average price was $843 -- a $217 increase from July.
Here's a sampling of the lowest ticket price for several seat resale sites:
: $400 (Upper West Sideline 48, Row 33)
: $393 (Lower Level 46, Row 50)
: $461 (Upper Level 61, Row 28)
: $374 (Upper Level 60, Row 34)
: $436 (Upper Level 114, Row 12)

On Sunday we finally went to the new Batman movie… in English. The 8pm session at the Mathäser in OV and the one in Museum Lichtspiele were already sold out, so we went to Cinema München. These are the three movie theatres you should keep in mind when looking for cinemas in English in Munich.
For those of you who are a cinema´s lover: there are over 30 movie theaters in Munich (suburbs + city). They tend to be middle to small-sized theatres: some with a better sound quality than others; some with more comfortable chairs than others… but this is matter of likes and dislikes and you need to experience them to develop your own opinion.
Most of the cinemas in Munich show the films dubbed in German, as it could be expected, but there is also a number of theatres with sessions in original version (in English) with/without German subtitles; or in original version (in German or any other language) with English or French subtitles.
The tickets can go from approx. 10€ to approx. 5.50€ on "Kino Tag". In some theatres there is also a special price for sessions on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday; or a discount if you have a student card from your University or language school.
Also be aware that if you purchase your tickets online, they usually charge you with an extra of approx. 0.50€ per person as pre-sale and seat pre-booking.
The official site of the city of Munich lists every single cinema in town and the current program with details on whether the film is in English with/without subtitles; in German with/without subtitles or in other language with/without subtitles. They even have an application for iPhone or iPad that I have just installed and I will be testing this week.
The Local has a cinema guide with listing of all the movies in English in Germany.
The largest website in Germany for cinema is Kino and it is my favorite. Although you have to go down through the whole list to find the ones labeled with OV or OMU.
Mathäser in Stachus has 14 screens. The films tend to be dubbed in German but for the major box office hits (you know: the Harry Potters, the James Bond, the Batmans, etc.) they always find a time... The chairs, the quality sound, the 3D thing is the best…
Museum Lichtspiele in Haidhausen is located within two minute walk from the cultural center of Gasteig and the Deutsches Museum. It is a very small and cosy theatre with something like 30 seats per screen. As far as I know it offers 99% of its program in English or with subtitles. The cinema is also popular because of their children program and sessions that are very suitable for families with kids.
Cinema München in Nymphenburger Strasse is the most popular movie theatre for English-movies in Munich. I saw Batman there on Sunday.
Neues Arena in Hans-Sachs Strasse has two small-sized screens and usually offers a very interesting program that includes films from UK, US and Canada with subtitles in German. It is located within five minute walk from Gärtnerplatz.
Atelier (City Kinos) has a cinema with capacity for 204pax and then a smaller one for 84pax, whose program is usually approx. 40% in OV with subtitles. It is located in Sonnenstrasse, so within a walking distance from Stachus.
Monopol in Schwabing West (Hohenzollernplatz) has set Tuesdays as the day to show some of their films in English (at least in August 2012). But in general its program usually includes films that are shown in OV with/without subtitles anytime of the week. "Kino Tag" here is on Thursday when the ticket costs 6€.
And this is all from me about movies in English in Munich. I will be in London next week, so you will hear not much from me then, but in the meantime, let me know if you know of any other cinemas I should be mentioning here or sites that compile a list of English movies in Munich.
And as always for comments, just drop me a line.

Website of the week – BW B-Schools
When the subject of business-related education comes up, BusinessWeek almost always stands out from the rest mainly for the magazine's valuable content. One phenomenal section in particular, the B-Schools page, is loaded with everything from admissions to rankings.
But another cool feature about BW lies with the ability to interact on its forums. A really useful "chatboard" that could benefit potential business school students is the one dedicated to "Part-time MBA Programs".
Knowledge is power. Business majors definitely want to bookmark BusinessWeek.

Have you seen this fun Fishsticks Designs pattern?
This was my first time sewing the Scrappy Sack and my first time cutting into my beloved Circa fabric from Sis Boom, and I'm so glad to have paired these two! There are also some Sis Boom prints included from other collections, one of the things I absolutely LOVE about Jennifer Paganelli's fabrics is how beautifully they cross-coordinate!
This special bag is for my oldest daughter and not only does she love it, it is perfectly her style! From the messenger style strap to the gorgeous girly fabrics, this one is just right for her!
In addition to the multiple pockets on the outside of the bag, there is also a divided inner pocket perfect to hold pens, a mirror, lip gloss or other small, hard to find items. No having to dig around!
I did all of the stitching in a bold pink thread and was so pleased with the added touch it created.
Today is the last day of Market and we'll be homeward bound tomorrow. Can hardly wait to see my crew!!!! :) Hope you are all having a great start to your week!
Just a few days left to wrap up our October Project and we'll be kicking of a new project and our LAST specific sewing project of the year on Friday!!! You don't want to miss it....it's a very special one!

In [yesterday's] New York Times Michael O'Hanlon and Kenneth Pollack make their same tired argument for permanently occupying Iraq they've been making for the last five years. There's nothing new in this piece. They might as well have run one of their old articles under a snazzier title. President Barack Obama, they argue, must show "strategic wisdom" and keep American troops in Iraq until the United States realizes "our goals of sustainable stability in Iraq." Never mind that the Bush administration didn't bother to tell us before invading Iraq that "our" objective was to spread "democracy" and "stability" there; and never mind that the war and occupation have killed 100,000 Iraqi civilians, 4,300 Americans and will probably end up costing us as much as $3 trillion, O'Hanlon and Pollack once again tell us that "we" must stay there indefinitely and throw away even more lives and treasure, even in these dire economic times.
"Young democracies are fragile entities," they write. Yet they ignore the fruits of the democracy they laud. Iraqis voted for candidates in the recent elections, in part, because they promised American troops would be out of Iraq's cities by June 30th. Now O'Hanlon and Pollack criticize even this modest goal. They talk up once again "Iraq's enormous progress" but argue (yet again) this "progress" doesn't mean U.S. soldiers can now come home. "Iraq's calendar this year is also jam-packed with other important political events," they note. But when will there be a "calendar" in such a volatile country where "important political events" won't be happening? This is a red herring that never gives the United States the "right" time to get out.
They ignore the fruits of American democracy, which in the past two election cycles registered the people's disdain for continuing the occupation of Iraq. O'Hanlon and Polllack claim to be experts on "democracy" yet they discount the election results in Iraq and in their own country because they don't fit into their pre-conceived objective, for whatever reason, of staying in Iraq indefinitely. It's the same argument they've made together for years. At least they're consistent.
They give no evidence that "new democracies" behave in the predictable and formulaic ways they claim for Iraq. They never point to an example in the real world of a "new democracy" behaving in their pre-programmed way to prove their thesis. More often than not "new democracies" express through popular will strong nationalistic tendencies that run counter to the kind of open-ended foreign occupation O'Hanlon and Pollack are advocating for Iraq. In fact, if the recent Iraqi elections proved anything it is that the Iraqi people want their nation back. They do not want the occupation to continue and demanded through their elected officials a date certain for an American troop withdrawal.
O'Hanlon and Pollack warn President Obama of the "serious risk" of any timetable for American soldiers to come home even though both the Iraqis and the Americans have voted for this outcome in recent elections. And of course they love the idea of a "residual force" staying in Iraq indefinitely, which is consistent with what they've been saying for years; they offer high praise for President Obama on this score.
"We have no choice but to see Iraq through to stability," they write, but they never define "stability." Does "stability" mean that Iraq will have about the same level of violence as Mexico or Columbia? Or is "stability" turning Iraq into Peoria, Illinois?
At another point in the article O'Hanlon and Pollack even resort to using "Friedman Units." The United States, they write, "faces one last crucially intense period in the coming 12 to 18 months." Where have we heard that before?
They emphasize Iraq's "strategic significance" and its "enormous regional significance" but these concerns fly in the face of their pronouncements about altruistically spreading "democracy" as their motivation. In fact, the opposite could be true: The endless occupation could make it more likely that nationalist sentiment will be fueled to the point of throwing out the occupiers on worst terms than if we withdrew responsibly on our own. O'Hanlon and Pollack's prescriptions for staying in Iraq could lead to a nationalist backlash that undermines their stated "strategic" goals for the region.
The most disingenuous part of the article is where O'Hanlon and Pollack write: "It is worth remembering that our current economic disaster started with a great rise of oil prices from 2004 to 2007, which then helped set off the mortgage and credit meltdowns." Here they are using economic scare tactics to drive home their point of continuing the occupation that are not only poppycock but distasteful given that so many Americans are scared and suffering from the current crisis. "Pull out of Iraq and expect to see $4 gas again!" I suggest O'Hanlon and Pollack review the record-breaking windfall profits of the oil conglomerates in exactly that period they mention. This type of fear mongering is disgraceful, especially coming from two supposedly "apolitical" policy wonks. So fellas, is it about "democracy" or is it about oil?
Their conclusion once again reflects their neo-colonial mindset: "[W]e should not baby-sit Iraq through all of its problems as a young democracy." Viewing the Iraqis as "children" who need to be "baby-sat" was one of the favorite throwaway lines of Paul Wolfowitz and Donald Rumsfeld. It must sound a bit strange to Iraqi ears coming from people whose nation was formed in 1787 while Iraqi politics go back to the beginning of recorded history.
As O'Hanlon and Pollack make the rounds talking up their tired old ideas on the PBS/NPR latte and arugula circuit, the hosts of these shows should at least remind their viewers and listeners that they made the same basic argument for occupying Iraq in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008.

Florida Condo's Name Gets Tainted by Extremists
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A planned South Florida condo that shared its name with a group of Islamic extremists is getting a new identity.
ISIS Downtown is a major development being built in West Palm Beach. ISIS is also one of the names for the al-Qaida splinter group behind the recent beheading of American journalist James Foley.
The Palm Beach Post reports the new building is now being called 3 Thirty Three Downtown.
The developers haven't commented on the change. Tim Harris, the past president of the Realtor Association of the Palm Beaches, said the prior name had become "scarily negative."

Over Pass Evolution
Back to Digital
This piece, called Over Pass, is one of the first Physical Alchemy pieces I ever did, even before I came up with the name. When I look at it now I see that at this point I was still thinking very flat. I think My embrace of 3D art is an uphill climb, the gravitational force of my habit forces me towards 2D, But 3D forms the frontier I'm now moving into. You will note that the larger photograph looking underneath the over pass is upside down. I'm not sure why. Well I kind of know why. Its an over pass but were looking under it, but does that make it an underpass, no, I don't think so. So there's the play on words thing. Also, I think the idea was that when you turn an image upside down if forces you to process it as abstraction. Which is a fine idea, but to tell the truth, every time I look at it I want it to be right side up. It bothers me. What I like about this piece is the 'discussion' on color that is going on. There is a carefully crafted chromatic strip which I did with acrylic paint. Below it is a section of black paint. each pigment on the strip was 'encouraged' to drip over the black. most of them disappeared, but the interference pigments in the strip, which appear mostly white suddenly turn into vivid color when they go over the black. I like this. I don't know why. Well I sort of know why. I like it because the painting is having a discussion about the technology of paint itself. So some things about this work I like, some things I don't like. When I get into it, I'll probably be replacing the underpass image with something else. Or doing something to alleviate the awkwardness of it. I'll try different things and I'll know it when I see it.
Speaking of something else, I made a high end scan of Over Pass, today and then I started to mess around with the digital file. My creative energy is really strong when I'm just playing and discovering this way. After about an hour 'play' I got to this.
One thing I need to point out, and it has to do with a problem with all art on the internet, is that its almost impossible for you the viewer to have the proper experience of pieces like this. When a print is destined to be 30" by 40", you just can't get all the sense of it by looking at a 1000 pixel wide jpeg. So you have to try an imagine a lot of nuance and detail in the depths of this piece and being able to get up close and look at this. This is not the final state, in fact, as of this writing, I've actually taken it a whole generation further, but that will have to wait for another post.

If you read rhinoplasty advertisements, you'll see many that promote a procedure widely known as non-surgical rhinoplasty.
Non-surgical nose surgery is the process of making a nose look better by injecting semi-permanent fillers such as:
- Juvederm
- Restylane
- Radiesse
What the ads don't say: non-surgical nose surgery is primarily for noses that need only minimal augmentation or small touch-ups.
Consequently, rhinoplasty sans surgery accounts for less than five percent of nose shaping procedures. Plus, the fillers last only about a year or less.
In any case, you should probably consider health before beauty. A lot of people opt to have a nose surgery because that can also be used to improve one's breathing or fix certain breathing problems they might have. If you're interested, you can read more about the benefits of nose fillers at Tai Tai Magazine. After this, you might want to consider how much the non-surgical rhinoplasty cost.
The human body is a complicated thing and a lot of things can go wrong when you start changing things and inserting things that shouldn't be there naturally. This is why you should always look for the best and most experienced medical professionals you can afford, and saving money on such procedures is never a smart idea. Especially in the facial area where there are a lot of muscles and nerves – a lot can go wrong.
On average, a non-surgical nose job in Singapore costs around $800-$1000.
Filler injections are actually used only in very few places on the nose, including:
- Around small nasal bumps
- To fill in the depression on a boxer's nose, something your surgeon knows as a saddle nose deformity
- Ski slope noses
- Small pits or depressions on the sides of the nose
- The depressed area between the top lip and nose
However, you would need an invasive rhinoplasty to improve the appearance of very large noses, for tip reductions and large humps. Many Asian and African-American patients, who have a flat bridge, ask for facial fillers to build up that part of the nose.
In a few cases, silicone – instead of face fillers — is injected into the nose. I personally don't recommend silicone due to the high chances of developing lumps and bumps, or granulation, just under the skin and due to the possibility of infection.

I can't believe it...it's been two years since Caleb and I were married. I think over the last two years and all that has happened, three moves, losing jobs, quitting jobs, starting businesses, a seminary degree, a contractor's license, the most precious baby boy ever, and it seems like it should be ten years. Then I look back and think we've just started, which is slightly more accurate. (I wonder what ten, twenty, or fifty years feels like??) So far, it's been the greatest adventure of my life.
I love Caleb more that words can express. He's my best friend and I love that I get to wake up every morning next to him. We have such a blessed life. I'm in awe that God was so gracious to bring us together. I'm glad that we're in this thing together and that God is at the center. I know that Caleb is committed to me and does everything he can to make me happy.

Social Media as Personal Branding Tools for Recruiting
We all know that branding impacts the choices we make as buyers of products, services and ideas. We buy things, will pay a premium, and choose to work someplace over another because of what we know of companies' brands. Similarly, as hiring managers and recruiters, you can shape your personal brand—what buyers of your services know about you—to recruit the best talent and win new business.
Why social media for personal branding?
Given what we know about who's using social media, it should be clear why social media are excellent vehicles for spreading the word, as a hiring manager or recruiter, about who you are and what you know. Here are two other reasons why social media should be preferred channels for personal branding:
Reason #1:
Social media provide passive channels for sharing knowledge. Flipping their function as intel-gathering tools, social media are great for telling people what you're thinking, reading and doing—without directly telling them. You can use your social media to broadcast to everyone in your network (1), without the risk of seeming overly aggressive. Many in the industry are fully aware ofthe negative perceptions of aggressive recruiting tactics.
Reason #2:
Social media provide ways to make your messages more interesting and relevant. Being interesting and relevant is a prerequisite for getting noticed among the buzz. Social media provide ways to share photos, videos, and audio (among other media) – not to mention links to others (2). Using rich media to enhance how others experience your brand can give you an edge in the struggle to get people's online attention. Differentiation as a service provider is essential to building a successful recruiting practice.
Basic social media personal branding tools
Online personal brands can be as varied as the persons they're branding. That said, here are basic tools you can use to shape your online personal brand:
Profiles. Your social media profiles should convey what you want people to know about you. Start with the basics: make certain visitors can understandwho you are/what you've done, what you offer and why they should care. But, as said, differentiating yourself can sway someone's choosing your services over others'.
Updates. Your updates are your primary means of sharing with your online networks. Platforms like Facebook and Tumblr give you ways to post content directly, while LinkedIn and Twitter are primarily channels for brief commentary and links to outside content. Updating on these platforms is useful for recruiting, and new tools are making it easier to update to your most important social media profiles at once.
Secondary interactions (3). 'Like'-ing (on Facebook or LinkedIn), sharing or retweeting, following a person's twitter feed, and commenting on others' updates are secondary ways of communicating online. Doing one or all of these shows that you care and puts you on others' radars. This can be an effective tactic for keeping in touch with loose connections like recently-met prospects.
Blogs. Post your recruiting-specific thoughts in long-form (4) to demonstrate your capacity as a communicator and thought leader. Start your own blog (5)and create your own content hub, to which you can link from your social media updates.
But, there are many ways to use social media develop your personal brand. This isjust the start!

The idea of the Kraken appears in Melville's Moby Dick in 1851; played a major role in Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea in 1870; and appeared as the Watcher in the Water in Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring, lurking in a lake beneath the western walls of Moria.

Smoked Prime Rib on the Pit Barrel Cooker
Nothing beats a good prime rib and one cooked in a Pit Barrel Smoker is absolutely magical. Tender, juicy, a nicely favored crust and a touch of great smoke results in a melt-in-your mouth experience that you will not forget. My recipe is simple: I use a good cut of beef, a salt-thyme-garlic dry rub then apply a pepper-mustard flavor paste before…

Turning My TV into an Impressive Fish Tank Using a Real Fish Tank 4K Screensavers from Uscenes
- Jun 28, 2018
Recently I became surprisingly fascinated with fish and all other sorts of marine life after spending an evening browsing clips of divers and their underwater escapades on YouTube. Of course, with my own boredom egging me on and plenty of "related videos" just begging to be watched, it was only a matter of time before I stumbled upon tempting media related to aquariums.

When Does Chiang Mai Smokey Season End?
- Apr 07, 2018
Update 14th April: It was a false alarm, the smokey season didn't end. In fact today it is as bad as ever at 194 AQI. This is probably as bad as it has been, I haven't seen the readings this high. The mountain has gone again. Plus what's worse is that nearly everyone in Chiang Mai will spend most of the day outdoors today for Songkran. Yesterday it seemed like everyone spraying water cleaned up the pollution a lot by evening, but today has started much worse.
CHIANG MAI IS THE WORST PLACE FOR AIR QUALITY IN THE WHOLE WORLD TODAY 14th APRIL 2018
Here is the league of PM2.5 fine particle readings complied by AirVisual:
- Chiang Mai, Thailand 194 (AQI)
- Lahore, Pakistan 177
- Port Harcourt, Nigeria 172
- Delhi, India 170
- Kathmandu, Nepal 168
Chiang Mai Smokey Season 2018 just ended 2 days ago after some wind and rain made the transformation in the photo below. Which means you can pretty much rely on early to mid April being the end of the burning season (lets now call it the end of April), when Chiang Mai pollution levels are often some of the very worst in the world.

Cheapest M43 Ultra Wide Angle Lens
- Mar 28, 2017
Cheap UWA Option for Micro Four Thirds Cameras
This is a solution for those who want to take wide angle photos and videos without spending a thousand dollars on an expensive Olympus or Panasonic lens. The lens is the Panasonic 12-32mm f3.5-5.6 with the Ricoh DW-6 wide angle converter attached. This gives you a focal length of 9.5mm (12mm x 0.79).
The image above shows the combination at 9.5mm (f9). The inset image is the 12-32mm at 12mm (f3.5). With the converter attached to the lens it is best to stop the aperture down a little, although f9 was probably too much- f5.6 or f8 would have been better. As you can see the field of view is significantly wider compared to the lens alone at 12mm.
Update 26th March 2018: After re-testing the ultrawide combo I have found that diffraction kicks in at f9 and before. Therefore, I would like to change my original recommendation to f5.6 or f7.1 for the optimal aperture setting when using the wide adaptor with the wide angle zoom lens.
Also, when using the 12-32mm alone stopping it down a little to f4-5.6 is better than at f3.5. These are based on lens tests indoors, whereas the tests on this page were for objects much farther away.
I have also recently acquired the Olympus 9mm f8 body cap lens. It is surprisingly sharp and fun to use. However, when you de-fish images they are not as sharp as the Ricoh Panasonic cheap UWA option.
Sorry, no images to share as I didn't want it to eat up too much time, but de-fishing the 9mm fisheye resulted in a slightly wider field of view compared to the 9.5mm, as expected. However, the image was noticeable less sharp, especially at the edges and there is noticeable CA (chromatic aberration). Plus getting a fisheye lens properly de-fished is not easy for someone like me who hasn't tried before. I tried 2 fisheye softwares and neither completely fixed the distortion.
Therefore as of Spring 2018, my option is still the best value ultra wide angle lens for Micro Four Thirds camera, if you already have the 12-32mm zoom. Do keep an eye out for the SLR Magic 8mm though, as it's price has been fluctuating between $149 and $349. At $149 it provides a solid alternative, but reviews suggest you may have to send it back for a decent copy. Today it is $149, so I would certainly give it a try if I was in a country which allowed returns, such as the USA.
This combo cost me Read more
Manchester Cat Cafe Vs London Cat Cafe Dinah's
- Aug 04, 2016
This battle of the UK's top (and possibly only) cat cafes is based on walking past the recently opened Manchester Cat Cafe and going inside to speak with the staff. We haven't actually had a chance to spend time with the cats yet, because it has been very popular: 3,000 people applied just to visit to spend a little time with the cats before the opening. Media has been in a frenzy over this newest cat cafe. Read more

Amazon Letting Marketplace Scammers Rip Off Customers
- Aug 10, 2015
This is an outing of the incompetance of Amazon.co.uk who are letting known scam artists rip people off from Amazon.co.uk
I believe I have fairly good evidence that Amazon.co.uk is indirectly ripping people off by not stamping down on fraud. By allowing the fraudulent orders to stand, Amazon is acting highly irresponsibly (my experience today was one of indifference as you will see from the chat transcript below). Read more

New Cat Cafe in Chiang Mai
- May 28, 2015
Update December 2017: Catta Cat Cafe is now closed, but….
However, we have a found a delightful new cat cafe in Chiang Mai called Cat Brothers Cafe. It is inside the Old City, which is great for tourists. Downstairs they have a cafe and upstairs you can mingle with the cats. Here are most of the cats from Cat Brothers Cat Cafe:
Update mid 2017: Unfortunately Catta cat cafe has closed. There is a new one which has opened inside the Old City of Chiang Mai. It is located on the inside road of the moat on the northern stretch in the North East corner (see above). It features a lovely selection of cats to play with, mostly Persians. The new Chiang Mai cat cafe is called Cat Brothers. The cats are upstairs and there is a cafe downstairs.

1 pound butter
1/2 tsp. soda
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cream of tartar
4 cups flour
Beat butter, brown sugar and soda to a light creamy texture. Add rest of ingredients. Amount of flour may vary slightly depending on the humidity in your house, temperature of the room, etc. Batter is very stiff and hard to mix in the last of the flour. Roll by teaspoons full into balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten each with the bottom of a glass dipped in flour to keep the glass from sticking to the cookie. Bake at 375 for 12-13 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheet a minute or two before transferring to brown paper. When all are baked and cooled, place in a crock and store covered with a piece of brown paper until Christmas. (We put an upside down paper sack over the crock and tape the bottom edge to the side of the crock.) Put in a cool place like a basement.

We'd like to introduce Elliot Tupper, and he was born yesterday in the evening, two weeks ahead of schedule. He is 7lbs 3oz, and just about the most perfect human being I have ever seen, with the exception of his amazing mother. We are all beside ourselves with utter joy. I'll tell the story his trip, but right now I have to go smell his head again.

pass the potato salad
I almost forgot today was the Fourth of July.
That should not be surprising. There is nothing in my little village to remind me of the day. Why should there be? The very concept of the Fourth of July is as foreign here as a good chili dog.
The only reason I know Canada Day has arrived is through the good graces of my Canadian friends who invite me to their annual soirée. But none of my American friends are so inclined.
There are American colonial outposts in Mexico -- San Miguel de Allende, Chapala, the embassy in Mexico City -- where there will be big celebrations today honoring America's 241st birthday. But not in my sleepy little village.
This is the time of year when smug journalists start lecturing us that we do not know what we should know about our independence from Britain. Facts that we actually already know.
Facts, such as, John Adams thought 2 July should be the day to celebrate because that is the day the Continental Congress approved a resolution for independence. 4 July was the day Congress approved the final revised Declaration of Independence.
But, we all learned that in school. It is not news. Unless, of course, that particular memory has gone on vacation in the darkest corners of the Congo.
At picnics across America, politicians of all stripes will stand in front of potato salad-munching citizens to declare we need to look to our roots with the founding fathers -- men who, though they disagreed, could argue ideas without being rude. And we will all nod our heads in hopeful agreement. As if we were amnesiacs.
Politics in America has never been a very civil process. We are partisan people who love to argue with one another. It started right at the beginning.
It is true that the members of the Continental Congress were sons of the Enlightenment. They had strong feelings for and against a war with Britain.
But that was merely inside Independence Hall. Here is another fact from school we may have pushed out of our minds.
The colonies were greatly divided on the issue of independence. Gallup was not then working the telephones, but historians estimate one-third of the colonists were for independence, one-third were against, and one-third were simply too busy harvesting crops to worry about the tyranny of George III.
That split persisted through the war. George III may have sent his navy and his German mercenaries to terrorize the colonists, but Americans fought Americans, as well. One of the largest fraternal battles was the Battle of King's Mountain in South Carolina, where all of the combatants were American -- presaging the Civil War 85 years later.
When the war formally ended in 1783 with the Treaty of Paris, the colonists who had remained loyal to the Hanoverian king had a hard choice to make. Throughout the war, they had been harassed by patriot committees. Now, there was no king to protect them. (The patriots, of course, would have been in a worse situation had they lost. Many of them would have decorated the limbs of the nearest tree.)
Some toughed it out and stayed in what they considered to be their homeland. Others left. About one in 40.
My family may have been part of that exodus. My grandmother's ancestors crossed the border from Vermont to Quebec and lived in Canada for almost a century before slipping back into Minnesota in the 1880s. That, of course, means I am more Canadian than most of my northern acquaintances.
I have no idea whether they were loyalists or patriots. But it does make for a good story.
And it may explain why every Fourth of July in Salem, I would unfurl the flag of the United Kingdom and display it in front of the house. Maybe DNA is destiny.
Or maybe I just like to stir the pot.
Either way, I hope all of my American friends have a great Fourth of July.
Me? I am heading out on my morning walk proudly wearing my "I am an enemy of the state" pin. After all, my American ideals were not packed away for my trip south.

Matthew 13:35-43 New American Bible (Revised Edition) (NABRE)
35 to fulfill what had been said through the prophet:[a]
"I will open my mouth in parables,
The Explanation of the Parable of the Weeds. 36 Then, dismissing the crowds,[b] he went into the house. His disciples approached him and said, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field." 37 [c]He said in reply, "He who sows good seed is the Son of Man, 38 the field is the world,[d] the good seed the children of the kingdom. The weeds are the children of the evil one, 39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age,[e] and the harvesters are angels. 40 Just as weeds are collected and burned [up] with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his kingdom[f] all who cause others to sin and all evildoers. 42 They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth. 43 [g]Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears ought to hear.

Fan Ripple Rainbow Blanket
Ever since i watched "Breaking Amish" and saw the gorgeous blanket the mother was crocheting, i wanted to try the pattern. I found a diagram on pinterest, here is the picture.
I tried it, and it worked! Of course there were some things, i had to change, because i was not satisfied with the original pattern. I turned my project into a baby blanket with rainbow colors.
I love the way it turned to! This will be a gift for a friend of my daughter, she has seen the pictures already, and she can't wait to wrap her baby in it:)
My other daughter loved the pattern too, and asked me to crochet her a hat and scarf. No problem dear:)
I especially love the way the crown of the hat turned out, making decreases turned into a star. She was very happy with her new set!
11 comments:
What a beautiful set. Especially the hat I find very special. Your daughter will be very happy.ReplyDelete
You can experiment a lot with wool and come to surprising effects. The baby blanket has a beautiful structure.
Nice Sunday, Tinne
Nice variation to the ripple stitch .... almost like lego pieces fit together!ReplyDelete
The hat has turned out quite beautiful, as if the pattern was especially written for it. :-)
I love the pattern. I want to make a blanket for my sofa but I also like the scarf and the hat. Where have you decrease? Do you miss one V stich, or is it something more complicated?ReplyDelete

In this article, I will go over some of the frequent causes of vomiting in dogs, what you can do about it, and when you should be concerned about a lot more significant conditions. I have usually had dogs and always gave them cheese as a reward snack and all my dogs lived extended healthful lives. I do not believe that a lot of folks will really feel they have the time to prepare meals for their dog – especially those who have youngsters. Due to a number of scares (a single relating to bones) my dog is not allowed ANY men and women food and is restricted to particular dog meals goods. Anyone wanting to make healthier life alternatives, really feel better and appreciate scrumptious food can benefit from NutriFit.
I have to ask this question simply because in the grocery store there is a dog meals referred to as Old Roy that has cheese and beef bits. I really feel a small ignorant since I truly should know what foods is great for Sam. While Iams is not the worst cat food obtainable on the market, it can be categorized as mid-grade, not the worst but a far cry from the greatest.
Far more issues that are damaging to pets are macadamia nuts, most fruit, potatoes, coffee, tea, tomatoes, broccoli and avocado foods. NutriFit's meal delivery service is a dream come accurate for anybody in the Los Angeles location striving for a healthier diet program that doesn't compromise flavor. Fresh produced dog meals is such an amazing commitment to your k9 pal, I respect this quite a lot. Homemade dog food recipes are offered on the web or can be located by browsing by means of pet meals cookbooks. But it's easier to uncover out if a cat meals is excellent by seeking at the label, not the marketing.
You'd be surprised (then again, maybe you would not) how a lot of individuals by no means wash their dog's meals and water dishes! The nutrient-enriched water in which the veggies and grain had been cooked makes her meals moist. NutriFit's residence delivery service is created to bring good quality meals into all interested residences and companies all through Los Angeles. Annually thousands of dogs end up in the emergency care center of Veterinarian hospitals since of bones. In recent years, there is been a fantastic deal of controversy about whether or not dogs need to consume grains. Most iams food does contain chicken as the 1st ingrident and so does purina a single.
I have only ever been to the vet for a serious issue once considering that having Storm aged 9, and that was with a re-homed dog that had been on a commercial diet previously. Peter & Poker~ I totally recognize your take on not being able to protect dogs from everything. Wesman Todd~ I am quite glad that your dogs were able to keep nicely while eating the men and women foods you list.
