Fen-Phen was an anti-obesity regimen composed of fenfluramine or the closely related drug dexfenflur-amine (marketed under the brand name Redux) and phentermine (sold under several brand names including Adipex-P, Anoxine-AM, Fastin, Ionamin. Obe-phen, Obermine, Obestin-30 and Phentrol). The combination was found to cause damage to heart valves, and fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine were removed from the United States market in 1997.
The combination of these two drugs had been reported to be significantly more effective than placebo in promoting weight loss when used in combination with diet, exercise and behavior modification.
Phentermine was first approved for use by the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in 1959. It's claimed advantage over other appetite suppressants available at the time was a reduced risk of abuse. While the drug was chemically related to the amphetamines, with the same side effects, the incidence of these side effects was reportedly lower than with the amphetamines.
Fenfluramine was approved by the FDA in 1973 and dexfenfluramine (Redux) was approved for use in 1996. Fenfluramine is the racemic form of dexfenflur-amine. The drugs were approved for short term use as part of a program of diet and exercise. Although fen-fluramine is chemically related to the amphetamines, its action appears to be based on increasing levels of.
serotonin in the brain and blood stream. Ddexfenflur-amine had been marketed in Europe for over a decade without detection of an association between dexfen-fluramine and heart valve problems, however the FDA noted that the number of patients having heart valve problems was very low compared to the total number of patients using the drug, and heart valve screening is not a routine part of drug monitoring.
Neither fenfluramine nor phentermine had been approved for use in long term treatment or combination therapy. The drugs were indicated only as short term adjuncts in patients with obesity
In 1992, a research group from the University of Rochester published reports indicating that the combination of fenfluramine and phentermine might be a valuable adjunct to diet and exercise in a controlled program of weight loss. A total of 121 patients were initially enrolled in the study, and 9 dropped out during the active study period. After the first 34 weeks of the study, patients on the fen-phen regimen had lost an average of 14.2 Kg, compared with a 4.9 Kg. weight loss in the placebo control group. The researchers noted that upon discontinuation of the drugs, patients regained most of the weight lost during the study, and after 210 weeks, the agerage weight loss was only 1.4 Kg below the baseline. Patients who had received active drug tended to regain weight more rapidly than those who received placebo. The authors concluded that despite long periods of time at weights much lower than baseline, permanent resetting of weight control mechanisms could not be shown for most participants.
In spite of the disappointing long term results, these reports lead to the wide use of the fen-phen regimen for people attempting to lose weight. In.
1996, fenfluramine was the 46th most frequently prescribed drug in the United States. with sales of $176 million per year (roughly $209 million in 2006 dollars). No long term studies were performed for these dtrugs, and they were never approved for use in combination therapy.
On July 8, 1997, The New ,England Journal of Medicine published a report from the Mayo Clinic describing 24 cases of regurgitational valvular heart disease in women who had been treated with fenfluramine and phentermine. By September 30th, the FDA had received a total of 144 reports of heart value problems associated with fenfluramine, with or without phentermine.
On November 19, 1997, the Centers for Communicable Disease Cintrol published a review of the cases of heart valve damage associated with fenfluramine:
. . . Of these 113 cases, 111 (98%) occurred among women; the median age of case-patients was 44 years (range: 22 68 years). Of these 113 cases, two (2%) used fenfluramine alone; 16 (14%), dexfenfluramine alone; 89 (79%), a combination of fenfluramine and phentermine; and six (5%), a combination of all three drugs. None of the cases used phentermine alone. The median duration of drug use was 9 months (range: 1 39 months). Overall, 87 (77%) of the 113 cases were symptomatic. A total of 27 (24%) case-patients required cardiac valve-replacement surgery; of these, three patients died after surgery...
The Food & Drug Admibnistration removed fenfluramine from the market. Approximately 18,000 people sued American Home Products, which had marketed the drug, to recover damages, either from the costs of actual injuries, or the cost of tests to determine whether any damage had been done. In a class action lawsuit, American Home Products agreed to establish a trust fund with a reported value of $3.75 billion, with the money to be distributed among victims of the drug, depending on extent of injury. People exposed to fenflursamine will be monitored for heart valve problems for a period of 20 years.
Although fenphen has been associeted with another very important adverse effect, primary pulmonary hypertension, the focus of all regulatory and legal problems has been on the heart valve problems associated with the drug.
Phentermine hydrochloride tablets and capsules are indicated only as short-term monotherapy for the management of exogenous obesity. The safety and efficacy of combination therapy with phentermine and any other drug products for weight loss, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (eg, fluoxetine, sertraline, fluvoxamine, paroxetine), have not been established. Therefore, coadministration of these drug products for weight loss is not recommended.
Serious regurgitant cardiac valvular disease, primarily affecting the mitral, aortic and tricuspid valves, has been reported in otherwise healthy persons who had taken a combination of phentermine with fenflur-amine or dexfenfluramine for weight loss. The etiology of these valvulopathies has not been established and their course in individuals after the drugs are stopped is not known. The possibility of an association between valvular heart disease and the use of phentermine alone cannot be ruled out; there have been rare cases of valvular heart disease in patients who reportedly have taken phentermine alone.
Tolerance to the anorectic effect usually develops within a few weeks. When this occurs, the recommended dose should not be exceeded in an attempt to increase the effect; rather, the drug should be discontinued.
Phentermine hydrochloride may decrease the hypotensive effect of guanethidine.
Mono-amine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) may increase the pressor response to the anorexiants. Possible hypertensive crisis and intracranial hemorrhage may occur. This interaction may also occur with fura-zolidone, an antimicrobial with MAOI activity. Avoid combining with phentermine hydrochloride. There should be a 14 day interval between use of any MAOI and phentermine.
For those patients who had been exposed to fen-fluramine, aftercare depends on the extent of damage. For those patients with significant heart valve damage, surgical valve replacement may be in order. Those who received the drug but show no damage should be monitored by a cardiologist for the possibility of late onset damage.
Although phentermine alone has been associated with rare instances of valvular heart disease, there are no recommendations for routine aftercare or monitoring.
Parental concerns
Phentermine is not indicated for patients under the age of 16 years.

Law-Freedom-Spirit-Flesh: A Preliminary Summary
The thing that has primarily occupied my thoughts for the last several months has been a theology of freedom, law, Spirit, and flesh. Forgive me for including so much biographical information. If you would like, you can simply skip down to the end and get to the theological/biblical portion of this post; but for me, my theology and my walk of faith have come together in a way that makes it difficult to separate the two; theology has been both theoretical and biographical.
Within the last year, several events and conversations have kind of converged on me to make me rethink the essence of my theology of sanctification and my own personal spiritual walk. I was raised by parents whose profession was always ministry in conservative communities of faith, and I have always taken my faith very seriously, even from a very young age. And yet, it is no exaggeration for me to say that I have subjected the entirety of my thinking on Christianity, spirituality, and faith to a complete rethinking.
Law and Religion
A major factor that has spurred me on to rethink my approach to faith is my own experiences within a community of faith. I believe that many of the people that I have rubbed shoulders with in the church have been sincere and good people, but for me, remaining in the institutionalized church became unbearable. It was something that I think gradually built up within me over the course of a few years, and it culminated in me stepping away from the religious scene last fall.
Personally, I felt like I had gradually grown very complacent, even though I was doing everything "right," at least by the standards of my church: going to church every Sunday, helping to lead a ministry in the church, active in the life of the church, taking classes in seminary, and generally having a desire to make a difference in the world and advance the kingdom of God.
So, why the complacency in my life? Well, a complete answer to that question may not be possible in this life, but my complacency and general state of spiritual depression was one of the motivations for me to rethink many of my presumptions about the Christian life and my theology of sanctification.
This brings me to my next point: rethinking theology.
Galatians 5: Paul's Theology of Freedom
Paul's theology in Galatians 5 is foreshadowed in various ways in what he writes prior to specifically addressing a theology of freedom. Paul is dealing with a church that is moving (or has moved) itself back under law. One of the primary ways in which they have done this is through an emphasis on the importance of circumcision. Paul seems baffled that they would prefer a lifestyle of law, especially after tasting freedom: "After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?" (3:3)
I think it is important to note that in chapter two, Paul says that he has died, and Christ now lives in him. So, the issue of freedom, then, cannot be reduced to a I'm-in-it-for-me approach to life that puts one's self at the center. What freedom is not is a self-absorbed and self-centered lifestyle that takes no account for one's actions.
In 5:1 Paul makes the profound announcement that Christ has set us free for freedom. Law brings us under bondage and slavery (chap. 4), but Christ set us free for freedom. The contrast is important: Law and Freedom are set against one another; they are opposed to one another. The direction of the believer's life should be away from law/bondage/slavery and into freedom.
I find it interesting that Paul is both redundant as well as redundant: we have been set free for freedom. This repetition seems to me to make the point that being set free means that one must then cultivate a life of freedom. If a slave is set free, he may be free in principal but having a free mindset is another thing. Conversely, a slave might be free in their mind/perspective but a slave in the reality. The Galatians declared themselves free and then lived in slavery to law.
Moving along in chapter five, Paul clearly states that living by the Spirit results in not "gratifying" the desires of the flesh (5:16). There is a certain conflict involved between the Spirit and the flesh; this struggle is so great that there is a sense in which we have no control (v. 17). Being out of control does not eliminate choice or responsibility, because there is still an exhortation to "live by the Spirit" (v. 16), but Paul does highlight the fact that the spiritual life is not a matter of formulaic repetition or even good intentions. There is something chaotic and unpredictable that lies beneath, and it appears as though this chaos must be worked out in each individual life. (And, I would also add, this working out is best within the context of a community of freedom and openness where free individuals can challenge each other and point out blind spots.)
In verse 18, Paul drops the bomb: If you are led by the Spirit you are not under law.
Paul is urging his readers not to use the measuring stick of law. After all, if one is led by the Spirit, why re-introduce a new standard? The life of being led by the Spirit is contrasted with a life lived by the law. This is a bomb of nuclear proportions because it undermines the work of the religious institutions. Religious institutions invariably work to establish and maintain the importance and primacy of law: sexual norms, societal/cultural laws, spiritual laws, moral laws, and laws/norms of all kinds. Institutions are formed around core values, and these values (almost without exception) uphold law. Paul here suggests that being led by the Spirit takes the believer beyond law.
So, in summary, I see Paul comparing and contrasting these four ideas as follows: The life of the Spirit is one of freedom that moves away from a life of living under the law according to the flesh. Spirit is tied to freedom, and law is tied to flesh. These seem to be two very distinct ways of living life; two economies or states of mind. It is by the Spirit that the believer moves into true freedom, which necessarily moves the believer out of a life and a mindset dominated by a struggle between the law and the flesh.
Psychology of Law
My good friend John Doyle (aka Ktismatics) has a very intriguing post in which he ties together Paul's theology with the psychological/philosophical musings of Jacques Lacan. John notes the Lacanian perspective that, "When there is no lack — when everything demanded is surrendered — desire is stymied. Nothing is left to be desired. Desire springs from lack…Satisfaction buries desire." [Freedom from Desire] John then ties this to Romans chapter 7 and finds a remarkable parallel between the two viewpoints. Paul says in Romans 7, "I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, 'YOU SHALL NOT COVET.' But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment,
produced in me coveting of every kind; for apart from the Law sin is dead."
Where is the parallel between Pauline theology and Lacanian psychology? In this: prohibiting something creates a lack of that thing, and this lack generates desire. Says John,
The Greek word translated as "covet" here is the same word that's translated as "desire" in Galatians 5. I would not have known about desiring if the Law had not said, "you shall not desire." This I think is precisely what Lacan has in mind. When there is no gap between demand and surrender, when nothing prohibits fulfillment, then there is no desire. Desire is created by the Law, by the prohibition it inserts between you and what you want.
So, on this Pauline-Lacanian theory, law will necessarily stimulate desire; the two are connected, and the struggle between them will always exist. For Paul, though, the life of the believer is to go beyond this law-desire death trap; Paul wants us to leave law and desire behind and usher in freedom through a walk with the Spirit.
John sums up this Paul-Lacan reflection by saying, "The Law-bound person can never do what he wants, not just because what he wants is prohibited, but because his wants are themselves distorted by the prohibitions attached to them by the Law. Under the Law want is inextricably bound to the desire to sin. There is no freedom in this kind of desire. But the Spirit releases want from prohibition, fulfillment from violation. Only in the Spirit are you free to 'do the things that you please.'"
Contemporary Religious Life
I see Paul presenting the believer with a real choice: either Spirit/freedom or law/flesh. If this interpretation is correct, then the implications are radical, because historically (and from my experiences), most Protestant visions of the Christian life retain the law as central to the life of the believer: they want the Spirit to fulfill the law, they do not want to go above and beyond law. But if the above interpretation of Paul is correct, then Paul is suggesting that one cannot have it both ways: either live by the Spirit in freedom, or forever allow one's self to be enmeshed in the struggle between the flesh and the law.
Most Protestants preach freedom, but retain law. To me, this is a confused approach. it is like a slave who is set free from his master, but still remains a slave in his mind and never has the perspective of a free man. Paul seems to suggest that we are free and not only should we be free in theory but free in fact. It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.
Is there a law-desire struggle that is part of the structure of our world? If there is, then it would appear as though those of us who uphold the highest moral standards would be perhaps undermining the very morals we seek to protect. Perhaps the higher one's standard of law, the greater one's desire increases. There is clearly a culture war in the United States that has been going on from the inception of our nation. There are many who see themselves as defenders of truth and morality, and they form communities of faith to hold themselves to the rigorous standards of law. Despite what good intentions they may have, is it possible that relying so heavily on law actually puts individuals in a no-win situation?
For me, questions remain: Is it at all possible to avoid law? And what does it mean to "walk with the Spirit" and live in freedom? But despite these remaining queries, I think Paul is presenting us with a radical freedom and an intriguing reflection of our humanness. These are my preliminary thoughts.

Enterprise-grade access control
Cloud Identity & Access Management (Cloud IAM) lets administrators authorize who can take action on specific resources, giving you full control and visibility to manage cloud resources centrally. For established enterprises with complex organizational structures, hundreds of workgroups, and potentially many more projects, Cloud IAM provides a unified view into security policy across your entire organization, with built-in auditing to ease compliance processes.
Leverage Cloud Identity, Google Cloud's built-in managed identity to easily create or sync user accounts across applications and projects. Cloud Identity makes it easy to provision and manage users and groups, set up single sign-on, and configure multi-factor authentication directly from the Google Admin Console. With Cloud Identity you get access to the GCP Organization, which enables you to centrally manage projects via the Cloud Resource Manager.
Cloud IAM provides the right tools to manage resource permissions with minimum fuss and high automation. Map job functions within your company to groups and roles. Users get access only to what they need to get the job done, and admins can easily grant default permissions to entire groups of users.
Cloud IAM enables you to grant access to cloud resources at fine-grained levels, well beyond project-level access.
Create more granular access control policies to resources based on attributes like device security status, IP address, resource type, and date/time. These policies help ensure that the appropriate security controls are in place when granting access to cloud resources. Sign up for the Cloud IAM conditions private beta here.
We recognize that an organization's internal structure and policies can get complex fast. Projects, workgroups, and managing who has authorization to do what all change dynamically. Cloud IAM is designed with simplicity in mind: a clean, universal interface lets you manage access control across all Google Cloud Platform resources consistently. So you learn it once, then apply everywhere.
A full audit trail history of permissions authorization, removal, and delegation gets surfaced automatically for your admins. Cloud IAM lets you focus on business policies around your resources and makes compliance easy.
Control resource permissions using a variety of options: graphically from the Cloud Platform console, programmatically via Cloud IAM methods, or using the gcloud command line interface.
Fine-grained access control and visibility for centrally managing cloud resources.
Cloud IAM provides a simple and consistent access control interface for all Cloud Platform services. Learn one access control interface and apply that knowledge to all Cloud Platform resources.
Grant access to users at a resource level of granularity, rather than just project level. For example, you can create a Cloud IAM access-control policy that grants the Subscriber role to a user for a particular Cloud Pub/Sub topic.
Control access to resources based on contextual attributes like device security status, IP address, resource type, and date/time. Sign up for the Cloud IAM conditions private beta here..
Prior to Cloud IAM, you could only grant Owner, Editor, or Viewer roles to users. A wide range of services and resources now surface additional Cloud IAM roles out of the box. For example, the Cloud Pub/Sub service exposes Publisher and Subscriber roles in addition to the Owner, Editor, and Viewer roles.
Create and manage Cloud IAM policies using the Cloud Platform Console, the Cloud IAM methods, and the gcloud tool.
To ease compliance processes for your organization, a full audit trail is made available to admins without any additional effort.
Cloud IAM supports standard Google accounts. Create Cloud IAM policies granting permission to a Google group, a Google-hosted domain, a service account, or specific Google account holders using Cloud Identity. Centrally manage users and groups through the Cloud Identity Admin Console.
Cloud IAM is offered at no additional charge for all Cloud Platform customers. You will be charged only for use of other Cloud Platform services. For information on the pricing of other Cloud Platform services, see the Cloud Platform Pricing Calculator.

We often find that, for some reasons, we keep doing the things we are doing but we just can't achieve the things that we want to achieve. We often ask ourselves, who we were, what does it meant to be 'me.' I believe at some point in your life, these questions have been running through your head. Yet it remains a mystery because you cant seem to solve them.
Yes, I had these questions running through my head in the past too. But I found that there is another set of questions that once answered, can point us to the right direction. I call it the Four Whys.
The first Why we should ponder and ask ourselves is,
Ever ask yourself, why? Why study so hard? Why work so hard? Why go through all the mundane duties? Why go to classes? Why go to the gym and go through all the pain? Why? I believe we should ask ourselves sincerely, the why question.
The second question we should ponder and ask ourselves is,
Why not?
Why not see how good your grades are. Why not see how many books you can read. Why not see what you can do with your potential, with your talents. Why not see how many skills you can develop, who you can become? Why not see how valuable you can be to your employer. Why not?
The third question we should ponder and ask is,
Why not you?
Why not you starting to make progress. Why not you achieving the dreams you always want to achieve. Why not you taking charge of your life? Why not you try and see how much you can earn, how much you can see. If someone have to do it, why not you?
The last question we should ponder is,
Why not now?
Why not start now? The world is full of possibilities and opportunities, why not now? It is a good time to get yourself back together, it is a good time to start the change. Why not now?
I believe if you sincerely think about these four questions and its profound meaning, you can get inspiration in finding out who you are meant to be. Like everyone else, you are unique, you are different. Most importantly. You have the potential to create the life you want. Why, Why not, Why not you, Why not now?

As the whizzes at Google work feverishly to blur the line between sci-fi fantasy and real-world computing yet again, the online community is buzzing with optimism, speculation, and even a little dread. Everyone seems to have an opinion on whether Google Glass will simplify modern life or serve as another distraction for a generation of tech junkies more likely to tweet than talk face to face. Here at Esurance, opinions are equally split on how this new technology will play out, and even more so with how driving with Glass might impact the safety and sanity of our roads.
As our very own Steven Mautone (Esurance's web production manager) eagerly awaits his beta version of Google Glass, conversation around the office swirls with lively debate regarding potential possibilities … and potentially deadly pitfalls.
Driving with Glass: the possibilities
Easier navigation
If you've ever driven down the road while frantically typing an address into your phone before you get to the next exit (and I'm not saying I have), then you can imagine how much easier it could be to simply say, "Ok, Glass, how do I get to Tommy's Joynt?" And what if, instead of balancing your phone on your knee and glancing down every 3 seconds to make sure you haven't missed Geary Street, you could just look up and to the right to ensure you're still on the right track?
With its hands-free access and ease of use, it's easy to see how Google Glass might eliminate some of the distraction and stress that often come with trying to find your way around.
A built-in driving buddy
Now imagine if Google Glass could tell you if you're speeding, remind you to get gas, coach you through changing a tire, or help you to know what to do after an accident. Imagine knowing about traffic jams before you were stuck bumper to bumper. Or having constant updates about how far it is to the next gas station, rest stop, or hotel.
Could Google Glass help you find nearby amenities, let you know road conditions, warn you about accidents, or help you find the best BBQ shack in Tennessee? At this point, who knows. But if it could, it would pretty much be the best driving buddy ever. And you wouldn't even have to share the beef jerky.
Driving with Glass: the potential pitfalls
Even more distractions
Of course, with all this possibility comes the very real concern that drivers might become even more distracted as they download and process a constant stream of information. As we know from a previous post, manual distraction isn't the only type of distraction to be concerned about. Cognitive distraction — what we do with our minds — can also play a big part in how focused we are (or aren't) on the road.
Texting and talking on the phone while driving are considered dangerous and illegal in most states. But people still do them with surprising frequency. It seems our inherently busy lives often overcome our common sense and the need for safety. And while Google Glass eliminates the need for keypads and fumbling around, it seems likely that the increased capability, coupled with the fact that it's hands free, will only encourage an increased sense of being able to do more while driving.
Even more attempted multi-tasking
With drivers in some of America's most bustling cities spending upwards of 40 hours a year sitting in traffic, it's easy to imagine the temptation to spend part of this time trying to get something done. How many times have you seen someone on their laptop or tablet tapping out a quick email while they inch along the highway during their morning commute?
If all it took was a glance up and to the right to find out if a client sent over that contract or if your boss got back to you regarding today's meeting, would you be able to resist trying to start the work day from the road?
Furthermore, would Google Glass make it easier than ever for people to update on Facebook ("Stuck in traffic, again!!"), check in at the office, or catch up on email in their cars? Would you want to check out your finances before you got to that gas station 17 miles ahead on the left? Or see pictures of the hotel before you arrive to check in?
The jury's still out on driving with Glass
While we wait for Google Glass to hit the market, we still have more questions than answers. As a modern company, we're as excited as the rest of the world to see what possibilities this new technology may hold. But as an insurance company, we can't help but share in some of the concern over what this might mean for driver safety.
Stay tuned for more on the subject as Steven Mautone tests out Google Glass and shares his experiences working, living, and yes, driving with Glass. In the meantime, let us know where you stand. Will Google Glass be a driver's best friend … or more distracting than anything we've seen so far?

I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole
I wouldn't touch (someone or something) with a ten-foot pole
I do not want to become in any way involved in or with something or someone. Primarily heard in US. Get that cocaine away from me. I wouldn't touch that junk with a ten-foot pole! You might think John is attractive, but I wouldn't touch him with a ten-foot pole. He seems like a creep.
I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole.
Cliché I would not have anything to do with it under any circumstances. (Said about something you think is untrustworthy, as in the first example, or in response to a remark that seems to invite a nasty reply, as in the second example. The British version is "I would not touch it with a bargepole.") Jill: This advertisement says I can buy land in Florida for a small investment. Do you think I should? Jane: I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole. Jane: Can you believe this? Jill said she thinks I'm bossy. You don't think I'm bossy, do you? Mary: I wouldn't touch that with a ten-foot pole.

Mobile Ladies Hairdressers in South Africa before I go into the points to help you choose your hairdresser, I should first outline the definition of what is a mobile hairdresser? A Mobile Hair Services is a hairdresser who usually works for his or herself visiting clients at their homes or place of work, or any other agreed venue and does not operate from a fixed hair salon or beauty shop.
Choosing a Mobile Hairdresser - 4 Simple Tips to Help You Choose The Best
1.When to consider using a mobile hairdresser. The services of a mobile hairstylist may often be required to be used at a home for a wedding when it may often be inconvenient for the bride to travel to a hair or beauty salon to have her hair and her make-up done, requiring her then to travel back to her home to put on her wedding gown. Instead, the hairdresser will travel to the bride's home in order to style the bride's hair for her special day. A Mobile Hairdresser hairstylist is often in demand for Care homes, hospitals, prisons, the armed forces, and in many other situations where individual attention is required.
Will Getting a Haircut Stop My Hair From Shedding?
4. Always Use a qualified hairdresser. As with Salon hairdressers, your mobile hairdresser should hold formal hairdressing qualifications. The UK national Vocational Qualification in Hairdressing (NVQ) is the only recognized qualification system, and more than 60% of mobile hairstylists are now trained to this standard. They should also hold professional indemnity insurance.
Your mobile hairdresser should be happy and prepared to recommend the perfect hairdos and often make-up to accentuate and compliment the individual looks of the customer, and offer suggestions on what hairstyle or make up should best suit the client.

Mobile Hairdressing is regular part of our everyday lives. It's too easy to take it for decided, and forget the key task it has in causal to an active and increasing economy. Mobile Hairdressing is a trendy career that countless people enjoy making a income from. Mobile Hairdressers work - cutting, dyeing and shampooing customer's hair and many other services. Mobile Hairdressing as a Career has many unusual forecasts and can also gives you time to a busy social life.
If you are interested to make Mobile Hairdressing as a Career or if you are looking what to do to become a hairdresser the following information will be helpful for you:
Entrance Level
As well as having relevant experience hairdressers also need the right personal qualities to progress. Candidates require being good with their hands and enthusiastic to learn new skills. A reasonable degree of inspiration is required as are good customer service skills. These two characteristic will frequently be experienced as customers will ask for advices for dissimilar hairstyles for different intentions. As well as this you require to be eager about your work and keep alongside each other of new styles and fashions.
Well qualified hairdressers keep on developing their skills in high-quality areas. This can consist of coloring and dyeing skills as well as alternative therapies and other mobile hairdressing services.
After working as a hair stylist in a salon some hairdressers make a decision to go into business opening their own salons. Otherwise some people start mobile hairdressing businesses plateful people in the society who have problems with maneuverability or who unable to leave their home for some reasons. If you would like to practice either of these it is optional that you learn a business management course at National Vocational Qualification level. A driving license is also required and is essential for hairdressers wants to start mobile hairdressing business.
The Role of a Mobile Hairdresser
There are a variety of methods used to start dreadlocks. The method and size selected mostly depends on the texture and length of the hair. Other variables that affect the lock starting technique include hair's thickness, fullness, and versatility desired. The methods discussed in the article give you insight into the most popular methods used and what works best on various hair lengths and textures. The methods discussed include: two-strand twist, three-strand twist, comb coil twist, palm rolling, latch stitching, and individual braids.
In the palm rolling method, the hair is sectioned and rolled between the palms. This is usually achieved on hair that is longer than 2 inches. For best results, you should not wash your hair until it has started to lock. As the hair grows, the new growth is twisted using a palm rolling or similar twisting method. Alternatively, the new growth can be groomed using the interlocking or latch hook method discussed below.
The comb coils is a method where the hair is sectioned and is twisted into coils using a (rat tail) comb or by hand. This is usually achieved on shorter hair. For best results, you should not wash your hair until it has started to dread. As the hair grows, the new growth is twisted using a palm rolling or similar twisting method. When hair starts to lock, it will begin to not look like comb coils and may start to get fuzzy or begin to poof. However, this is not a cause to create worry because it is all apart of the dreading process.
The last method we will discuss is back combing. Back combing is a common method on hair that is a straighter, less kinky texture. Back combing (also known as "teasing" or "ratting") means repeatedly combing the hair towards the scalp, causing the hair to tangle. For best results, the hair should be at least shoulder length. With this method, the hair cannot be washed until it starts to lock. Because of the straighter texture, it may take 4-6 months for the hair to start to lock. During this time, the hair should NOT get wet. Some type of product, like wax or honey, is usually added to the hair to help facilitate the locking of the hair.
No matter the method you choose to start your locks, understand the commitment you are taking by locking you hair. Happy Locking!

Many many rom updates.
So I've finally been able to really push some of the roms from my backups to the Downloads section, so hopefully someone will find them fun. Yes, there are ways to get them to run on Droid, iPhone, etc now, so I've actually been putting them to use! I do have some more to do, but and am always on the prowl for any I might be missing, so if you have one, mail it to me or post it in the Downloads section!

More updates!
Yes, I know, I haven't made much in the line of updates in a while... but, that is changing! I've started working on the emulator sections more, primarily the SNES console. I've added many new titles to the lineup this week, and will continue to do so. This has been a long time coming, and I need to relieve some clutter on my file server, so no better time than the present.
Check back for more updates soon!

Gamer's Lounge gets it's own CS:Source Server
Just thought I would announce that I recently setup a CS:Source server, so if you feel like playing against a few people and have the game, jump on it and play.
I will be checking for people online to play against them and run a status script that tells me if anyone is online. Also... you really should be running Xfire.

Working on A this week!
Hi guys and gals,
I wanted to post an update and let anyone who may or may not have been looking at the Downloads section lately know that I am working on the SNES roms. I have a pretty big library, but as you can probably tell I don't have all of the roms up yet.
If you have any roms that you would like to add to the list, I would love the assistance. They won't show up immediately as I have to basically click Approve on them, but like I said, I would love the assistance with getting these things up if anyone wanted to offer it.

Sorry for the delayed articles :)
Yes, there HAVE been updates, I normally add a few roms every day to the rom lists in the downloads section. Other than that I've been staying pretty busy.
Hope all is going well with you and yours, and have a great one!
ALSO, I would like to point out that you can upload roms to the site as well if you would like to add to the library. I am slowly getting a few daily (if possible) added to it, but naturally it will take me a while, and I have quite a large library of roms. If you want to add one, just click on "Add Download" at the top of the Downloads page. Your download WILL NOT SHOWUP until I APPROVE it, which means I will scan it and test it prior to publishing it.
Also, if you found a particularly useful download and want to say something about it, please post a comment on the downloads page.
Thanks for any help, it is greatly appreciated.!

"De-Snake" your dog at Colorado Gun Dog Association's annual snake avoidance clinic this weekend
Considering that nearly 8,000 people are bitten by venomous snakes every year in the U.S., it's a safe bet our nosy dogs get hit even more. Widely varying estimates start around 15,000.
Dog owners hoping to stack the odds in their favor with snake season well underway should consider attending the established dog "de-snaking" clinics hosted this weekend by Julian Weslow and the Colorado Gun Dog Association. Using two surgically defanged diamondback rattlesnakes, Weslow teaches dogs to recognize the sight, smell and sound of the deadly snakes through e-collar admonitions. Dogs are allowed to get up close and personal with the vipers before some minor shock therapy is applied, teaching them that sniffing out snakes is a no-no.
Since the snakes are live, there's a good chance of a non-lethal strike to reiterate the message. But it's one the dog is likely to remember to avoid when it counts, and maybe even help the handler do the same.
Bird hunters are obvious candidates for Weslow's Snake Avoidance Clinics on either Saturday or Sunday, but anyone who spends time with a dog in the West's vast snake habitat is invited to join in for a 10-minute session with the trainer and snake handler. That includes hikers, bikers, trail runners, ranchers, farmers and dog-loving desert dwellers of all walks.
The annual outdoor clinics will be held on Saturday and Sunday beginning at 8 a.m. at Quail Run Sports (35027 County Rd. 27) in Kiowa (303-646-3868). Cost is $55 per dog and the best contact for registration is Fred Prior at 303-450-2547 or email@example.com.

Lena Dunham, Allison Williams Feuding?
June 6th, 2019
Lena Dunham is an American actress and author best known for playing Hannah Horvath in the HBO comedy series, "Girls." Dunham won two Golden Globe Awards and was nominated for eight Emmys for her show about an aspiring twenty-something writer navigating her way through life in Brooklyn, New York.
Dunham, the daughter of a painter and a photographer, is known for frequently appearing nude or topless on "Girls." In a 2014 press conference, she lashed out at a television critic who questioned whether it was "necessary" to show so much skin. She has since become an advocate for body-positivity. A supporter of the LGBT community, Dunham hosted "Saturday Night Live" on March 8, 2014. A year later she was cast in a minor guest-starring role on the ABC prime-time drama, "Scandal."
The star, who first rose to fame in the indie movie "Tiny Furniture," was born on May 13, 1986 in New York City and raised in Brooklyn with her younger sister, Grace. She graduated from Oberlin College in 2008 with a degree in creative writing. In her 2013 memoir, "Not That Kind of Girl," Dunham admitted to being sexually assaulted by a classmate while in college. She also drew criticism for certain passages of the book which described sexual contact occurring at age seven with her then one-year-old sister. As reported by Gossip Cop, Dunham was labeled a "pedophile" by former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
Dunham, who was diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder as a child, began dating Jack Antonoff, lead singer of the band Bleachers, in 2012. They originally vowed not to marry until same sex marriage was legal in all 50 states. Though now legal, the couple never wed and eventually broke up in 2018.

Waltz is a smooth progressive Ballroom dance characterized by long, flowing movements, continuous turns, and rise & fall. Graceful and elegant, Waltz dancers glide around the floor almost effortlessly. At 28-30 measures per minute, the tempo is slow at best, but the expressive quality of the music often invites very powerful and dynamic movement from dancers.
Waltz is by its very definition a form of music in 3/4 meter. The first beat of each measure is dominant with a strong downbeat accent, while beats two and three are lighter. Characteristically, Slow Waltz music is sweet, melodic and fluid. It is often orchestral music, mostly lacking in heavy percussion or drums, relying more on the melodic instruments to carry the rhythmic progression. The music can be vocal or instrumental.
When first introduced into the English ballrooms in the early 1800`s, the Waltz was denounced by both church and state for its vulgarity and immorality... this was, after all, the first time society had seen this outrageous dance position, with the man holding the lady so close to his body. But the very thing that brought it such criticism also made it appealing, and the Waltz was here to stay.
Throughout its history, the Waltz has undergone many changes. Even before its introduction into society as a ballroom dance, it was a country folk dance born in the seventeenth century in the suburbs of Austria and Bavaria. By the middle of the eighteenth century, the dance had grown in popularity and spread throughout Europe.
The Waltz was introduced into the United States in the mid-1800`s. The standard Waltz tempo at this time was still very fast and quite demanding to the average dancer, and before long, composers were writing music which was much slower. From this music evolved a style of Waltz called the Boston , with slower turns, and more longer, gliding movements. While the Boston eventually faded away, it did stimulate the development of what we now know as Slow Waltz. Throughout the twentieth century, the English refined the movements and codified the technique into the competitive International style Slow Waltz.

Tunisia: An interview with Tunisian journalist and human rights activist Souhayr Belhassen
APN: How did the Tunisian government react to your appointment?
SB: A short time after my election, the Tunisian League for Human Rights celebrated its 30th anniversary. That was on 7 May 2007. We wanted to celebrate this event, but couldn't find a hotel in Tunis because they all seemed to be "fully booked". For over a year the Tunisian League for Human Rights has been banned from holding any public gatherings. All our branches are surrounded by police officers and we have no access to them. Plaintiffs have no access to our central premises, so our activities are extremely limited. We had been trying to organise our conference ever since 2003, but haven't even been able to convene for four years. Paradoxically, to mark our 30th anniversary, the authorities allowed us to hold this event at our own premises. We were consequently able to receive all of our members. And that is something special. Surprisingly, the daily publications that claim to be independent - Assabah, Le Temps and Réalités - interviewed me to mark my appointment and published the article on their front pages. I see all of these developments as a positive sign.
APN: Your post has a universal mandate, but how can your appointment at the head of the IFHR benefit freedom of speech in Tunisia and in the Arab world?
SB: My election has put Tunisia in the spotlight and we are benefiting from this. The half-opening that I referred to, and I say half-opening because many of our branches are still surrounded by the police, is one positive side-effect. The fact that I am Tunisian and president of the IFHR draws even more attention to the country. Yet I do not consider myself as strictly Tunisian. I am a citizen of the world. All of the leagues and countries are equal. I will naturally remain specially aware of the Tunisian situation, but Tunisia will have no advantage over other countries. As far as the Arab world is concerned, this appointment is very important. It honours a woman from one of the world's regions that discriminates the most against women and this is hugely symbolic. It is also one of the least democratic regions on earth. Democratic processes have taken root in all other parts of the world apart from this region. Appointing a woman from the Arab-Muslim world translates a desire to see democratic processes advance in this region. We at the IFHR are encouraging these processes in the Maghreb, the Middle East and the Gulf. Female emancipation, justice and the ratification of the International Criminal Court and electoral processes are the three special themes of the leagues in our regions.
APN: What about freedom of speech in this region?
SB: In Africa and the Maghreb /Middle East area, Tunisia is a country that wins the Golden Palm for repression of freedom of expression. When the UN dare organise the World Summit on the Information Society in this country in 2005, they expected the situation to improve, but quite the opposite occurred. We saw a deterioration.
Entire generations, everyone under the age of thirty, have never known a free press. The most serious problem is the regression in mentalities generated by press repression. Today's young people have no critical spirit, no objective detachment with regards to their country's situation and their region. They only watch Arab satellite channels. Most of these channels advocate violent seizure of power and protest. And they no longer know the meaning of peaceful protest.
The foundation of press freedom today is to reastablish protesting, oppositional and non-violent freedom of expression. How can we achieve this? The newspapers need to use the spaces left free, as in Egypt. And that is possible thanks to the internet. Although access to some sites is blocked, information nevertheless circulates. But not everyone has internet access. Today's young people no longer harbour a spirit of openness and tolerance. This spirit can only come from a local press that discusses local situations and launches debates, not from foreign imported newspapers. The only way out of this serious situation is through debate. But denunciation is not enough. When a press release cannot be published in any newspaper, how can information circulate?
On the other hand, we must also condemn the initiatives of certain organizations financed by the European Union. They organize training courses for journalists, but work with journalists from inside the system. Such journalists obey the arbitrary decisions of the authorities, although they should not give in to their wishes. If these training schemes merely promote censorship, then they are not worth running.
APN: You were a journalist for Jeune Afrique, the Reuters news agency and also founded a weekly called 7 sur 7. It was censored following the publication of an article of Bourguiba. Can you ever see yourself heading a newspaper again?
SB: There are margins that must exploited. I did it and failed. I remain full of admiration for those people in Morocco and Algeria who appropriate these gaps and try to enlarge such spaces of freedom. That is how we move forward. And as far as I am concerned, my attempt ended in failure. To move on, I had to make a fresh start.
APN: You finished with journalism to devote yourself to human rights. Do you see any overlap between the two areas?
SB: As a journalist you investigate, publish and denounce. And at the IFHR and in the national leagues we do the same thing. We investigate. We give a voice to those who are silenced, we make our reports public and we make denunciations. To be a journalist, at least how I tried to do the job, and to defend human rights are two very similar and coherent activities.
APN: What advice would you give to a young journalist in an Arab country?
SB: Fight.

Raise your hand if you don't reach for your smartphone before you're completely awake.
We all have that one thing we reach for in the groggy hours, whether it's a trashy novel, a daily devotional, or Facebook, to help us get back to sleep at three a.m. or to help us wake up at six.
The night before last, I awoke in the wee hours to the then-important thought that I needed to toss some dead flowers before the trash truck arrived. Isn't it always the small stuff we sweat in the darkness?
When it became clear that slumber wasn't going to come back to claim me anytime soon, I reached for my trusty iPhone while admonishing myself, "Don't think about flowers," much like the exercise that calls us to not picture an elephant. The first thing that appeared on the screen: an email from 1-800-Flowers.
Naturally, I thought about flowers until I finally drifted off, shortly before the alarm rang. When it did, intending to hit the Snooze button, I turned it off altogether, and fell into the deepest sleep of my life.
The dreams were un-freaking-believable, transporting me to a netherworld I'd prefer to not see again, thankyouverymuch. When I awoke an alarming amount of time later, I was trapped in a dense fog, unaware of the day of the week or anything else.
I watched as my hand, over which I seemingly had no control, reached for the phone. I saw a private message from my priest. It read: "Your flower is asphodel."
Obviously I was still dreaming. Or was I dead? Was my funeral being planned around me? Was I asleep or awake? What the hell is an asphodel?
When I asked the good reverend, I hope in a more reverent manner, she reminded me that I had registered interest in a Facebook meme: "Like this image [of a flower] and I'll give you a flower to post. It's part of an effort to beautify the web." Ah yes, I had liked her flower and her effort to beautify the web.
One can't argue that the web needs beautifying; I'll gladly do my part. The problem is, I don't know from flowers. In case you don't either, here's an asphodel: soft and starlike, delicate and beauty-ful, with sparks of bright color. Perhaps even my new favorite flower.
Or perhaps, a suitable mantra for my nocturnal meditations.
