Tank was on the verge of losing his eyesight in both eyes. But thanks to the quick commitment of RADAR to assist with Tank, he was able to get the urgent surgery done and save his sight! A one-year-old Bully Breed mix, Tank arrived as a stray with obvious eye issues on September 21st at the Kershaw County Humane Society shelter in South Carolina.
On September 22nd, the shelter's in-house vet diagnosed Tank with entropion and conjuctivitis. He recommended specialty eye surgery, but put him on antibiotic eye ointment until a recheck on September 26th. It was evident during the recheck that Tank was going to permanently lose his eyesight if he didn't have entropion and distichia surgery ASAP. The shelter sent numerous emails to find a rescue, but because of his breed mix, they had no response.
Stefanie McElveen with the Kershaw County Humane Society immediately reached out to RADAR for assistance on September 26th, and we agreed to help at once. The entropion and distichia surgery and cryosurgery took place the very next day! The good news was that both eyes were salvageable. After recovering, the vet indicated that Tank will be 100% better. "We always pull for the underdog," Stefanie said, "and Tank is definitely that. He's wonderful with cats and dogs, and loves to play!" Luckily, Tank tested heartworm negative!

RADAR paid all $424 of the entropion and distichia corrective surgery costs for Tank.
UPDATE! All funds for Tank have been raised! Thank you!

The safety of children is the main concern of any parent; and when training in sports, you want to know that your child is in an environment which is safe and well-prepared for any potential occurrences which may see a student requiring medical attention.
To help you have confidence in the procedures and protocols your child's school has in place for safe sport practice, we share the top questions below that you should be asking your child's school so you know that a student's safety and well-being is at the heart of their learning environment.
- Is there a First Aid trained member of staff on site always?
Find out exactly how many first aiders there are on site at your child's school and how many are present during sporting training and activities. First aid covers anything from a sprained ankle to choking and so immediate care must be available to prevent the worsening of any injuries and even to promote survival in the event of an emergency.
- Does the school have emergency protocol for incidents?
Effective protocols are key for ensuring the safety of any sports training facility, schools included. Every team should have a well-communicated and written up emergency action plan so all team members and sports coaches are aware of the actions needed in the event of a serious injury or medical emergency.
This plan should be reviewed regularly and checked by your local EMS (Emergency Medical Service) ; emergency equipment, first aid supplies and qualified members of staff to assist with medical care should also be included in this.
- Is all the equipment safe for use?
A regular check that all sporting equipment is fit for purposes can help to prevent any potential accidents and injuries. Court flooring and gymnastic apparatus are just some of core components of any sporting activity which should be checked to ensure everything is in safe working order.
- Are the coaches qualified?
Similar to having a first aider nearby at all times, it is important that all coaches and volunteers not only have a background and extensive knowledge of the sport they are coaching but are also trained in CPR and have a first aid qualification.
For safe practice, strict sporting rules must be enforced by the coaches and should a medical emergency occur, coaches should be able to begin the required care to help reduce further injury and encourage recovery until further medical assistance arrives.
- Where is the nearest AED located?
Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is the number 1 killer of student athletes in the United States; it is the number 1 cause of death on school campuses and affects 9,500 youths every year. It is because of this that AEDs are imperative to have on all school and sporting grounds to help increase chances of survival against this condition.
SCA can affect anyone of any age and health; currently, up to 95% of SCA victims die due to the lack of an AED which is the only definitive treatment to secure survival following collapse. An AED, when used effectively along with CPR can increase a victim's chances of survival from 6% to 74% when treatment is applied within the first 3-5 minutes of a cardiac arrest.

When Fisk University, the historically black school in Nashville, tried to sell two paintings several years ago from its storied Alfred Stieglitz art collection, a firestorm erupted. The proposed sale violated conditions of the gift of the collection from Stieglitz's widow, Georgia O'Keeffe, according to her foundation.
A drawn-out legal challenge ended in a compromise in 2012 that allowed Fisk to share its collection with Crystal Bridges, the Arkansas museum founded by Alice Walton, the Walmart heiress, bringing the struggling university an infusion of $30 million.
But what was not revealed at the time, and has only recently come to light, is that before the agreement was completed — and with the debate over the future of Fisk itself swirling around her — Hazel O'Leary, then the university's president, on behalf of the school quietly sold off two other paintings owned by Fisk.
The institution was "under duress," said Patrick Albano of Aaron Galleries, an art dealer from Illinois whom Ms. O'Leary asked to broker the sale.
One painting was Florine Stettheimer's exuberantly detailed "Asbury Park South." Its sale represented the first time a major work by Stettheimer, the beloved New York modernist artist and salon hostess, had come on the market in 20 years.
According to Mr. Albano, Fisk decided to sell work by Stettheimer and the painter and illustrator Rockwell Kent, which had been donated to the university with "no strings attached."
Another dealer ultimately bought the Stettheimer painting, offering it for sale at the Armory Show in New York in 2012. When Michael Rosenfeld, a gallery owner, saw "Asbury Park South," halfway out of a crate, "I literally got on my knees, and said to the person in the booth, 'I have to have this painting,'" he recalled. "It was virtually impossible to own a major painting" by Stettheimer, he added. Mr. Rosenfeld scooped it up for an undisclosed amount.
Fisk's under-the-radar sale of the Stettheimer highlights the minefield institutions must navigate when they use proceeds from art, whether to pay expenses or, in recent years, to try to finance costly expansions. At the same time, the sale reveals what can happen when an artist — even one as critically revered as Stettheimer — fails to secure her legacy.
"Shame on them," said Lyndel King, director of the Weisman Museum at the University of Minnesota and a chairwoman of the Task Force for the Protection of University Collections, referring to Fisk's actions. "It's very much against the ethics of our profession."
Though the task force does not have legal authority over universities, its members, who represent several museum associations, can censure those who sell art to pay operating expenses, putting pressure on them not to treat art as an A.T.M. That practice "alienates donors and undermines the purpose of having a museum on campus," Ms. King said.
Various museum associations say that deaccessioning art, if not in violation of the original gift, is justified if the proceeds are used to buy more art. It is the cherry-picking of a painting here and a painting there to bolster an endowment or support operating expenses that is frowned upon.
Universities, however, have argued in several settings that they must consider such sales when the fiscal alternatives — cutting programs or staff — are untenable.
"We're managing everything at Fisk today in such a manner that we hope we are never confronted with having to make that kind of decision again," said Frank Sims, the university's interim president.
When Ms. King's own institution made plans to expand its Frank Gehry-designed space, "a couple of our advisory board members said, 'Why don't you just sell your Georgia O'Keeffe?'" Called "Oriental Poppies," it was the Weisman Museum's most valuable work. "We convinced them there was another way," Ms. King said, and the new wing was financed without selling art.
Born into a wealthy German Jewish family, Florine Stettheimer had no need to sell her art during her lifetime, and the way her paintings were distributed after her death in 1944, at 72 — with most going to institutions — has meant that few of her important works have been offered for sale since.
Painted in 1920, "Asbury Park South" is set at a restricted beach in New Jersey. Most of the figures are African-American, but Stettheimer included herself and white friends like Marcel Duchamp and the writer and critic Carl Van Vechten in the crowded and lively scene. A central figure in the Harlem Renaissance, with close ties to Fisk, Van Vechten suggested to Stettheimer's sister Ettie that the painting be donated to the university, just as he encouraged O'Keeffe's larger gift from her husband's collection of modernist art. Both gifts were made in 1949.
But 61 years later, Fisk was in crisis. Ms. O'Leary approached Mr. Albano, whose gallery represents many African-American artists, about brokering the sale of one of Rockwell Kent's Greenland paintings and "Asbury Park South." "I wish I had just bought it," Mr. Albano said of the Stettheimer. (Ms. O'Leary, who retired from Fisk in 2013, said she was not well enough to speak and suggested The Times call her back but she did not return the subsequent calls.)
The exact amount Fisk made is unclear, since none of the former or current administrators contacted would discuss the sale. But a former curator at Crystal Bridges, which passed on buying the Stettheimer from Gerald Peters, the dealer who acquired it through Mr. Albano, recalled that it was offered to the museum for a low six-figure amount.
Stettheimer's auction record is $375,000, set in January at Skinner in Boston for a floral still life, but not a major work like "Asbury Park South." If an important Stettheimer came to auction, said Elizabeth Beaman, head of the American art department at Christie's, "I think we would see an unbelievable response."
Francis Naumann, one of the few art dealers who have handled Stettheimer's work, said that when Mr. Rosenfeld showed him "Asbury Park South" after he bought it, "it took my breath away." Mr. Naumann said he believed the painting could be worth as much as $3 million. Mr. Rosenfeld said that he and his fellow gallerist Halley K. Harrisburg, to whom he is married, plan to keep the painting. The sale might have gone unnoticed had the couple not lent "Asbury Park South." It is currently on view at the Portland Museum of Art in Maine in the exhibition "O'Keeffe, Stettheimer, Torr, Zorach: Women Modernists in New York," through Sept. 18.)
Ms. King said the sale of museum collections to fund operating expenses, which began with art museums, has extended to other institutions, like those with valuable paleontology collections. And though European museums, which are mostly government controlled, have not faced this problem thus far, she said she feared that "as the financial crisis continues in Europe, it may become more of an issue."
The problem, according to Ms. King, is most acute at small private universities, where museum directors often are not strong enough to stand up for their collections.
But what happens when an entire school faces closing, when there isn't enough money to pay basic expenses, let alone maintain a gallery or museum? That was Fisk's predicament as it fought to sell an interest in the Stieglitz Collection, with Ms. O'Leary telling the court that her university would "bleed to death" if it did not sell art. Brandeis University also cited severe financial hardship when it announced in 2009 that it would sell off the holdings of its Rose Art Museum. A legal challenge ended with Brandeis's keeping the collection intact.
Mr. Sims, Fisk's interim president, said this month that it was "not currently considering the sale of any art, and if we ever do consider something like that, it would be a decision made by the board of trustees."
In the end, some suggest, perhaps the responsibility for protecting a legacy after death should fall on the artist. Stettheimer made no plans for her work's fate. In fact, she wanted her paintings destroyed when she died, having once commented that "letting people have your paintings is like letting them wear your clothes."
Instead, her sister Ettie donated most of her work to institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Columbia University, with Columbia receiving the largest trove on the understanding that a museum would be built on campus. That never happened, and for a time, the university's deans could borrow major Stettheimer paintings to hang in their offices — something unimaginable with an O'Keeffe.
But Stettheimer's reputation has grown in recent years. In 2014 the Lenbachhaus in Munich mounted the first solo exhibition of her work outside the United States. Next spring, the Jewish Museum in New York will present "Florine Stettheimer: Painting Poetry." The Portland Museum's gift shop even has a Stettheimer refrigerator magnet for sale.
Stettheimer is having a moment — including at Fisk.
Jamaal Sheats, the new director of Fisk University's galleries, has organized an exhibition, "Origins of Influence," using 43 works from the Stieglitz Collection.
Its centerpiece? A Stettheimer portrait of Alfred Stieglitz.

Fight the New Drug (FTND) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to spread awareness on the dangers of pornography, explain pornography addiction, and help those who are addicted to pornography. After establishing a well visited Web site and blog, along with amassing a large following of supporters (known as Fighters), the organization launched a pornography addiction recovery program called Fortify.
Pornography addiction is just like alcoholism; once an addict always an addict. While I was not experiencing major set backs in my own recovery, I decided I needed to try something to keep a major set back from happening. I decided to sign up and fork over the $40 for the program. Here is my review after using it for a few weeks.
First, let me give a disclaimer. I am not a psychologist, psychiatrist, mental health professional, or addiction recovery professional. I specialize in education and Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. Therefore, these opinions and critiques of the Fortify program are my own and not based on research or professional expertise.
Positives of the Program
The program is easy to use. The Web site has great articles and videos to educate you on addiction and encourage you to keep fighting against the addiction. You earn tokens as you move through the program, which helped me because internally I did not want to start over at any point. You can also set daily reminders to encourage you to move forward and record your progress. If you have a setback, you can record it along with data points such as time of day, location, device, and mood.
Negatives of the Program
First, the program is bare bones. They tell you when you sign up that results are not guaranteed, which of course they can't be, not even professional therapy can guaranteed a cure of your addiction. But what got me was the statement that if you have suicidal thoughts or have "an extreme case of addiction" then you need to "seek professional help." FYI Fight the New Drug, every case of addiction should be counted as extreme. When you discount the addiction for anything less, than you are less likely to break free and more likely to dive in deeper. Also, if this is not "professional help" than why are you charging for it?
The next complaint I have is with the price. Again, if this program is not considered "professional help" than why is FTND charging $40 for it? A person can get the same level of help through a personal accountability partner without paying a cent. I guess you gain anonymity through the program, but is that really worth $40?
Suggestions for Improvement
FTND is not sponsoring this post, not do they know who I am or that I am writing this review. However, I will put forth my suggestions anyway.
First, allow for small setbacks and victories. As it now stands, a small setback could ruin your day. However, if your normal setbacks last for hours, and your latest one lasts only a few minutes, than that is improvement. FTND should allow for more precise recording of data so that those using the program and see all types of progress, not just one full day at a time.
Second, accountability partners. The program allows people to sponsor other people, especially teens. I love this feature. However, why not let those sponsors act as online accountability partners for those who need it. You could also allow those who have reached certain milestones to become mentors for others in the program.
Third, incorporate a 12 step program. AA has a 12 step program, and the LDS church has created a 12 step addiction recovery that is similar to AA. FTND can easily reach out to these and other organizations to create an effective 12 step program as well.
Finally, improve available materials. The videos are great, but as a non-profit that is charging money for the program, I expect videos and help from qualified professionals. There has to be a way for FTND to come up with a curriculum by partnering with mental health, addiction, and/or education professionals that offer a more interactive system. Even if they just provide coaches that can help tailor a plan of recovery for each individual would suffice. These coaches can be professionals or individuals who have battled through porn addiction.
Final Verdict
Do I regret purchasing the Fortify program? No. I have found it to be helpful for my current needs. Am I disappointed in what I get for $40? Absolutely. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this program to anyone. You are better off getting "professional help" or working with a close friend or family member as an accountability partner and incorporating applied behavior analysis (ABA) principles of reinforcement. I can only hope to see FTND make changes and roll out a new program in the future.

Thames Barge 'Ironsides'
In August 2017, we were luck to have chosen a perfectly still day for a trip on the Thames Barge 'Greta' from Whitstable which is the oldest Dunkirk small ship still afloat. Across Whitstable Bay, we spotted another Thames Barge, 'Ironsides', gliding across the sea towards the Swale Estuary. 'Ironsides' is a Spritsail Barge built in 1900 by Clark & Standfield, Grays, Essex.

It is our pleasure to inform that we have started a new low-temperature galvanization line at our Wyszków branch. The low-temperature zinc coating service is technology enabling protection of parts responsible for safety and working under high loads. This method makes it possible for long-term protection of parts against corrosion, and the coat does not require maintenance, as paint coats do. It is also characterized by greater resistance to mechanical damage than galvanized coats. Due to the launch of the automated production line and installed zinc coating centrifuge, excess zinc deposition has been eliminated, among other things. This makes it possible to achieve repeatability of produced coatings and to zinc-coat small parts such as: washers, chains, clamping rings, stays, etc. In addition, parts do not require additional processing, which significantly shortens the zinc coating process and enables their use immediately after its completion. This method is considered to be one of the best forms of anti-corrosion protection, and its performance in compliance with PN-EN ISO 1461 guarantees a coating of the highest quality for you.
We invite you to take advantage of this new service !

Deep in the bowels of the Ministry of Justice this conversation has not happened, it is completely imagined….
A young civil servant bursts into The Lord Chancellor's office. He clearly has news….
Civil Servant Minister, I have news. (see I told you he had news) The Northern Circuit has just voted in favour of independence.
Lord Chancellor What are you talking about?
CS The lawyers. Up North. They have voted to go independent. They want to break away from the MoJ, the LAA, the lot.
LC I'm sorry?
CS They reckon they have had enough of decisions being taken in Westminster and the Temple that impact upon them. They began the "Bugger Off" Campaign.
LC What makes them so special? Anyone would have thought that the Trade Union movement and Socialism had its roots up there.
CS Err, it kind of does. They have always been a bit, well, awkward. And the lawyers are no different. What with their "No To QASA" meetings and badges.
LC We'll judicially review it….
CS I'm not sure we can.
LC Why not? I always have my decisions overturned by it.
CS I think you need grounds. Like lack of consultation. And it looks like they consulted a lot before they made their mind up. They consulted, they revealed all the evidence and they voted. Fairly.
LC That sounds a bit….. amateurish. Much safer to make your mind up first.
CS Well they have consulted and they have decided they want to go it alone.
LC How do they think they can survive without us? What have they contributed to the legal scene?
CS Leveson.
LC What's that?
CS Lord Justice Leveson
LC What about him?
CS He came from up that way. The North.
LC Well okay, other than Leveson, President of the Queen's Bench Division and famed for the press thingy, other than him, what have the North ever contributed to the legal scene?
CS Mr Justice Edis. He prosecuted the phone hacking case. You've just appointed him to the High Court Bench.
LC Okay, other than Lord Leveson and this Edis fella who prosecuted one big-ish case, what has the North contributed to the legal wealth of this country?
CSMr Justice Henriques, retired now. He prosecuted Shipman and was the Judge in some pretty big trials.
LC Okay. Stop. I get it. I'll just say they seem like a pretty sexist lot up there with all there Mr Justice this and their Lord Justice that…
CS Well they also produced Dame Janet Smith who did the Shipman Enquiry and then, if you think about it, there was Rose Heilbron who was one of the first two women to be appointed King's Counsel in England, the first woman to lead in a murder case, the first woman Recorder, the first woman judge to sit at the Old Bailey and was also the second woman ever to be appointed a High Court judge….
LC Other than a few Judges what have the Northerners ever done for us?
CS Viaducts.
LC Sorry?
CS Viaducts. They have good viaducts up there. I suppose you could say that was actually the Romans…..
LC You're not helping now. I'll have to send Jeremy to sort them out. He is from up that way.
CS Jeremy?
LC You know, the new A-G. He's from the North.
CS He is from the Midlands, isn't he? I am not sure that counts as the North to Northerners…
LC I'll send Buckland then. He has an accent.
CS He's Welsh….
LC Is he? But he's in Parliament here. With me. In England.
CS And?
LC And he's foreign.
CS I am not sure that is going to placate them.
LC Right, make them all Judges.
CS What?!?
LC (The Lord Chancellor enunciates his words slowly and deliberately) Offer… to… make… them… Judges. It usually works to quell trouble.
CS There is over a thousand of them. A thousand members of the "Bugger Off" Campaign. And you want to make them all Judges?
LC Well maybe Judges of the First Tribunal Tier or Parking Adjudicator. Anything. With a pension. They love a pension.
CS Well it turns out that it isn't just the North….
LC What else is there?
CS Well this morning, outside Newcastle Crown Court, there was a horde of barristers, with woad on their faces and one was giving this speech, "dying in your bed many years from now," he was shouting at the collected lawyers, "would you be willing to trade all the briefs from this day for one chance to stand here as middle aged hacks and tell our enemies that they may take our uncontested divorces but they will never take our red corners!".
LC That bloody Ian West….
CS But what are we going to do?
LC Make them a lot of promises. Of stuff that we can't do until after the election. Then either we will have lost the election and it will be someone else's problem or I'll be in the Home Office and it'll be someone else's problem.
CS Yes Lord Chancellor.
LC The last thing I want to see is an independent Bar….

Chapter 172 – Hua Hong
When he thought up to here, Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh. Those that possessed both wealth and power were always the group of people that trampled on the rules. Whereas those with neither wealth nor power would always be unable to enjoy the fairness that was brought about by the rules, and they would instead be bullied and oppressed, becoming the sacrifices of the rules and the stepping stones of others.
There was only one way to change the unspoken rule that was tacitly acknowledged in every corner of this world, and that was to become strong!
At this moment, under the gazes of pity, mocking, and pleasure from the surroundings, the youth, Zhu Xun's, dark face flushed red and warped from the oppression he felt, and flames of rage blazed within his eyes. His firm and thick chest rapidly rose and fell as he tightly clenched his fists, and his slightly sharp nails sunk into his flesh to tear open traces of bloodstains, yet he seemed to have not noticed it in the slightest.
He was only an honest son of a mountain hunter, so how could he have imagined that the people in this world actually changed their attitudes so arbitrarily? Or were so shameless? So unscrupulously stripping him of the results he'd attained from his own hard work?
He was unable to wrap his head around it.
So he was extremely enraged and stubborn like a cow as his eyes stared fixedly at that Inner Court disciple behind the table. He wanted an explanation.
That Inner Court disciple was called Fu Zheng. He'd originally felt a trace of pity towards Zhu Xun in his heart, but when he came into contact with the rage in Zhu Xun's eyes, he was instantly irritated as well, and he snorted coldly before turning around. He couldn't be bothered to pay attention to this stupid bumpkin any longer.
Suddenly, another young girl that wore a seven colored glazed dress, with delicate features that were supple and white like snow walked over, and her beautiful face revealed dense proudness as if she was a proud little swan. She looked neither left nor right and strode gracefully to slowly walk to arrive before the table.
Chen Xi clearly remembered that this young girl was called Xie Qiqiao, and she was also eliminated when the Illusory Devilrock Grand Formation was activated. At this moment, her actions of walking to stand before the table were self-evident.
As expected, when they saw the proud young girl, Xie Qiqiao, arrive, besides Zhu Xun, all the other 12 young men and young women that had passed the test of will became anxious. They were able to discern that this young girl was probably similar to Liu Chen from before, and she was going to obtain a position amongst those that had passed the test. However, if she obtained a position, then one of them would surely be eliminated. Yet who would be willing to cup their hands and give it away willingly?
Elder Hua Hong who had his eyes closed while pondering leisurely opened his eyes once again, and his eyes lit up when he saw Xie Qiqiao. He nodded with a smile before restraining his smile, and then his gaze swept towards the 12 young men and young women that had passed the test.
"You, you're disqualified from the test. Leave." Hua Hong swept all of them with his gaze before stopping on Mu Yao, His eyes were extremely discerning, and only from disposition and actions, he was able to discern that this young girl surely didn't have any background. So, he decided right away to strip her of her position and give it to Xie Qiqiao.
Mu Yao was stunned, and a wisp of rage gushed out onto her elegant face. During her participation in the sect entrance test this time, she'd replied fully on her own hard work to walk up to here, and she originally thought that after she passed, Big Brother Chen Xi would view her in a different light. How could she have imagined that such a shameless thing like this would actually occur to her?
If it was before she arrived at Dragon Lake City, Mu Yao would surely swallow the humiliation and obediently leave, but during these past few years, because of her relationship with Chen Xi, she'd seen many great figures with monstrous power. Just yesterday, she'd been sitting together and talking with the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect's Supreme Elder Bei Heng and the Sect Master Ling Kongzi. Although she could only listen respectfully, who dared to overlook her?
So with this abundant experience, Mu Yao could be said to be extremely confident, and she took a deep breath before slowly saying, "I don't agree."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone present was stunned, as they seemed to have never expected that Mu Yao would actually be so audacious to refuse Elder Hua Hong in his face. Could it be that she isn't afraid of being unable to leave the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect?
"Hmph! Where did this village girl come from? Do you know any manners? Do you know who you're facing? Quickly fuck off and don't make a fool of yourself here." Before anyone could speak, Xie Qiqiao raised her chin before speaking arrogantly and disdainfully.
"Truly shameless to the limit. You failed as soon as the test of will began. Not to mention your natural talent being terrible, now you're even shamelessly taking away my positions. Is there a woman in the world who's your equal in being shameless?" Mu Yao wasn't enraged in the slightest, and her expression was calm as she gave tit for tat.
"A lowly woman like you with neither authority nor background actually dares to call me shameless?" Xie Qiqiao was instantly angered to the point of crying out with a sharp voice, and her beautiful face was frustrated and indeterminate as she turned around to look at Elder Hua Hong. "Uncle Hua, could it be that you're not going to do anything?"
"Alright, Qiqiao, calm down." Hua Hong stood up and waved his hand before raising his eyes to look at Mu Yao and say with an expressionless face. "Junior, I'll give you one last chance. Obediently leave, otherwise…"
"Martial Uncle Hua, I think you should let this matter go." Right at this moment, a young woman in an azure dress parted the crowd as she walked over slowly. Her long hair was pitch black with willow shaped brows, clear eyes, and extremely delicate skin, and she was extremely beautiful.
"Big Sister Qingni?" Mu Yao cried out.
This young girl in an azure dress was precisely Yan Qingni, one of the 36 Elite Disciples of the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect. She nodded with a smile at Mu Yao before shooting her gaze at Hua Hong.
No wonder, so it turns out that this little girl has someone backing her as well!
The surrounding spectators instantly came to a sudden understanding.
When he saw Yan Qingni make an appearance, Chen Xi, who was prepared to lend a hand, nodded to himself and silently waited for the situation to unfold. Unless he had to, he wasn't willing to make it difficult for Hua Hong before so many people. After all, he'd received too much care from Bei Heng during these past few years. Although he detested Hua Hong to the limit, it wasn't good for him to forcefully intervene in the matters of the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect, so as to avoid people having misgivings that he was a busybody and interfered in the authority of the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect.
At this moment, having a Wanderingcloud Sword Sect Elite Disciples like Yan Qingni stand out couldn't be any better.
But the development of the matter didn't resolve according to Chen Xi's will.
Hua Hong started laughing from extreme rage, and his expression was ominous as he said coldly, "Hmph! Qingni, you're only an Elite Disciple, whereas I'm an Elder. This test of will is managed by me. Is this a place for you to interfere?"
He was truly too angry. Being refused by a little girl that had no authority nor background had already caused him to feel extremely uncomfortable, and now another Elite Disciple had come to order him about. If he didn't show his uncompromising attitude of handling it, then where would he put his face before so many people?
"Martial Uncle Hua Hong, do you really want to strip Mu Yao of her position?" Yan Qingni took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
She'd noticed Chen Xi in the crowd as well, and just happened to see the difficult position Mu Yao was in. She decided right away to stand out and lend a hand, so as to do Chen Xi a favor. As for revealing Chen Xi's identity, she wouldn't do that. Because she'd already guessed that Chen Xi was surely hiding in the crowd because he was unwilling to make an appearance due to some sort of reason. Otherwise, with his ability, he'd surely have dealt with everything long ago.
"What? You want to question my decision? Believe me, I'll exile you to Dragonhell Peak to serve as a lowly coolie for three months!" Hua Hong became even more enraged, yet his face was expressionless as he spoke coldly.
"Uncle Hua is right! What's so amazing about being an Elite Disciples? Once I pass through the sect's test, and I'll surely become the number one amongst the Elite Disciples and replace Fei Lengcui's status in one go." Xie Qiqiao glanced at Yan Qingni with disdain, and her words revealed an indescribable sense of superiority.
Yan Qingni sighed and didn't say anything further. If one wanted to see death, then it would be impossible to stop.
When she saw this, Xie Qiqiao thought that Yan Qingni was afraid and a trace of complacency couldn't help but appear on the corners of her mouth.
Hua Hong's expression eased up before looking at Mu Yao and instructing coldly. "Fu Zheng, seize her and cripple her cultivation before exiling her to Dragonhell Peak to be a coolie slave for her entire lifetime. I want everyone to understand that the consequences of offending my Wanderingcloud Sword Sect is that they're bound to pay a heavy price."
"Are you really going to do this?" Right at this moment, an indifferent voice sounded out once more.
Hua Hong turned around to look over when he heard this, yet he noticed a tall and handsome young man walking over slowly, and his face couldn't help but twitch fiercely as the flames of rage in his heart were almost to the point of being impossible to control. What's going on today? Could it be that all these Toms, Dicks, and Harrys want to challenge my authority?
The young man was Chen Xi. He'd always been sitting on the spot at True Heart Peak during all these years, and it could be said that besides Bei Heng and a few others, the other elders and disciples of the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect only knew of Chen Xi's name. As for his appearance, most of them had never seen it before. After all, the total disciples in the Inner Court and Outer Court of the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect were made up of an entire 100,000 people.
It was normal that Hua Hong didn't recognize Chen Xi.
"Junior, who are you? You actually dare intervene in the business of my Wanderingcloud Sword Sect? Since you're courting death, then I'll fulfill your wish and exile you along with this little girl to Dragonhell Peak to be slaves that are unable to leave for your entire lifetime! Disciples! Seize this kid along with the little girl and send them to Dragonhell Peak!" Hua Hong shouted loudly with a deep voice.
"Yes!" Fu Zheng and the other seven Inner Court disciples flashed out explosively and parted into two groups, three of them pounced towards Mu Yao, while the other four pounced towards Chen Xi.
Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!
In the blink of an eye, everyone only felt something flash before their eyes and the four Inner Court disciples that pounced towards Chen Xi flew out over 100 meters, as if they were smashed by an enormous iron hammer. All of them had swollen right cheeks, their mouths spitting blood, and they curled on the ground as they moaned in pain.
On the other side, Yan Qingni had fearlessly made a move as well and stood before Mu Yao. She was an extremely intelligent person and was naturally able to distinguish between advantage and disadvantage. At this moment, standing on Chen Xi's side was absolutely beneficial without any disadvantage.
As soon as Yan Qingni stood before Mu Yao, those three Inner Court disciples instantly didn't dare move forward. After all, their identities were clear to see, they were merely Inner Court disciples, whereas, Yan Qingni was instead an Elite Disciple. How could they possibly dare make a move against an Elite Disciple?
"Alright! You arbitrarily attacked and injured disciples of the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect. Your crime is unforgivable! No one is able to say anything about me killing you now!" Hua Hong shouted out coldly, as dense killing intent instantly arose on his face, and then the tip of his foot stepped on the ground, causing his entire body to seem like an arrow that left the bow as he flashed explosively towards Chen Xi.
As one of the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect's elders, Hua Hong's cultivation had already broken through to the Rebirth Realm the year before last. When he attacked at this moment, it was like a bolt of lightning that struck out, and his entire body emitted a terrifying and fierce aura that crushed the surrounding space to the point it buzzed. Everyone in the surroundings felt suffocated and felt as if a hill had pressed onto them, causing them to almost spit blood and be suffocated.
"Idiot! Stay your hand!" Right at this moment, an oppressive and explosive shout that carried boundless power and influence was like rolling thunder as it resounded out explosively in the heaven and earth with a bang.

Chapter IV: 1954-1992
When I started in the Postal Service I was staying with Mr. and Mrs. Sergio Acena who live at 1812 12th Avenue. We attended mass at St. James Cathedral weekly. One sunday while taking the eucharist at the communion rail, Mrs. Lily Sapigao saw me and she thought that I reminded her of someone she knew well. After mass, she tried to locate me. It was many months later that she found me with the Acenas. We got acquainted. Upon conversation she liked me and she recommended that I pay a friendly visit to Virginia her first cousin who was taking graduate courses in nursing in a famous nursing school in Cleveland Ohio.
Virginia, had an older brother Tomas and two younger sisters: Luisa and Josefina. Tomas died in his first year in high school while Virginia and Josefina entered in that famous University of Santo Tomas of Manila. Luisa who was an elementary classroom teacher graduated from Far Eastern University in Manila. After graduating as a nurse from U. of Santo Tomas in 1952, Virginia was immediately employed by her own alma mater. Two years later, she was taking her graduate courses at Case Western Reserve University's Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing in Cleveland, Ohio. And at the same time was employed by Sunny Acres hospital in Cleveland.
As an old timer in Seattle, I was reluctant to meet a young lady who was an ambitious nurse determined to earn her masters degree. However after many long conversations with Lily, I consented to go to Sunny Acres to meet her. Thus, on my vacation to New York with my friend Del to see the New York Yankees play at Yankee Stadium, I paid a courtesy visit to Virginia. The meeting turned eventful for each of us. I was immediately captured by her charms and graceful attitude. I was entertained with great attention by Virginia and her co-workers at Sunny Acres.
In my short visit with Virginia, snapshots were taken with her friends and some with myself. Many films were used although all were in black and white. I made an album for her from the good ones that turned out and lovingly sent to her with my loving inscription inside the front cover of the album. Today, the album remains an important memento of our first, but very significant meeting.
After I returned to Seattle, I wrote daily and nightly, her pictures in different angles in front of me. I wrote and poured my soul lovingly to her as though she was listening. Six long months after dozens and dozens of airmail love letters were in her possession was I able to receive a hint of her reserve and gradually changed her salutation from Mr. Cacabelos, to Dear Manong, and eventually My darling, or my beloved. Those were my happiest moments to open a letter with such a greeting and endearment. I have kept her letters and often reminded her of their priceless value to me. She never told me what she did with mine, except that in the beginning, she shared my letters to her friends.
After Christmas 1954 when she finally accepted me as her future mate for life I counted myself as the luckiest man on earth. I began to save every penny I earned at the Postal Service. I did not send my shirts to the Chinese Laundry any longer, but washed and ironed them myself. Remy good-humored me often by saying,"You know she will be doing that for you soon." But it was only January 1955 and the scheduled wedding was half a year away. My feelings of anxiety rose to a fever pitch at times. There were nights when sleep did not come until late at dawn. Thinking and wanting the days to speed by. My days were filled with great anticipation of the grand event. Happiness was limitless, indeed immeasurable.
The glorious day was June 22, 1955 when Virginia arrived in Seattle, met by Lily and myself and immediately taken to County City building to secure a license permit to be married 3 days later. June 25, 1955 at the church of the Immaculate Conception, the Reverend Monsignor Theodore Ryan united us in holy matrimony. After the nuptial mass, Remy, my reliable friend, brought us to Aida and Fred Floresca's booming restaurant on Aurora Avenue. A sumptuous luncheon was meticulously prepared for our enjoyment. After the delicious luncheon, Val Laigo, one of our ushers dedicated a love song to us, "I'll be loving you Always" It was prophetic to us - the good Lord blessed us with a love without end. Yes we had treasured our love which kept our lives sweet and joyful.
The greatest need of a married couple was to own a house to enjoy and where to start a family. So after two years in an apartment, we finally found a small brick house at 4718 South Brandon Street in Rainier Valley where we resided happily for our first 12 years of our married lives. Four years after we were married,we were blessed with James our one and only offspring. We were overwhelmed with joy to have a handsome son born July 15, 1959. When Virginia and I had James, we did not ask or pick someone to be godparents. James godmothers and godfathers wanted the honor. So we happily accepted each of them. So James had Mary Feri, Mila Ramos Mercado, Buena Ocasion, Victoria Josue, Irenio Cabatit, Henry Presto, Henry Gamido and Roman Aguinaldo. That gave James four pairs of godparents.
Compadre Roman Aguinaldo was the most attentive to James life. He had bestowed upon James many favors as well as to us. Snapshots and presents came James way during his youth. Only compadre Roman remembered! We joyously accepted his kindness and generosity through the years. James, we believe only knew one godparent who cared. Compadre Roman! Had we chosen his godparents - we know and are very sure that we would have more suitable compadres and comadres who would have bestowed affection and attention to him. In the beginning, we celebrated James birthday with a feast. July 15 being in summer, we were fortunate to have good weather to enjoy the celebration.
He attended St. Edward parochial school until we bought a beautiful house at 5709 South Victor half a block away from St. Paul's Parish. James started his 4th grade at St. Paul's and four years later graduated from the 8th grade and at our recommendation entered Seattle Prep a catholic high school under the Jesuit Fathers. By then, James was over 16 and wanted a new car of his own to drive to school. We were fortunate to be able to purchase a Camaro for his needs. That brought great joy to his life. He offered rides to his friend Leonard Hill and his lovely sister Julie, Dulce Frial and also Alexander Oh. Both boys were top notchers at Seattle Prep and their superior scholastic achievements encouraged James not to be far behind them. Those were happy enjoyable years in their lives. The new car had also its disadvantages. It was a machine with too much power. Many were the speeding tickets to be paid. It amazed us of the amount paid in a year's period. Too much!
Many years before 1970, Virginia had applied for her sister Josefina and her family to come to America. There was Josefina, her husband Ben and 4 children: Ben Jr., Elsa, Jerry and Dolores. They arrived in 1970 and stayed at our old house at 4718 So. Brandon St. until they bought a house of their own. In May 1972, Virginia's father Segundo Rabina, my father-in-law arrived for a visit traveling with the help of Virginia's first cousin Dimitria Fadul.
He liked America. He was surprised at the many appliances at home such as the refrigerator, stove, washing machine, dishwasher and even the hoover vacuum cleaner. He declared his happiness to Virginia for making it possible for him to come to America to visit us. Tatang and I had many long talks about our lives. I saw a parallel in our struggle to live. He too came from a poor family and went to farm with a landed family (Laurencio) in Asingan, Pangasinan province. His work performance out shined everyone of the 4 brothers in the Laurencio family: Juan, Santiago, Ladislao and Luis. The family liked him. In time the beautiful daughter of the family, Dionisia, fell in love with him. After their marriage came Tomas, Virginia, Josefina and Luisa.
James and Tatang were beginning to teach each other. Jim had a few Ilocano words and Tatang a few English words. This grandpa-grandson blooming relationship suddenly ended when Tatang suffered a stroke in May 1972. Indeed it was Jim who called 911 for his immediate rescue. After 6 months of suffering he died December 19, 1972. Although I had known him only less than a year, I missed him. He and I had struggled hard to live.
Filipino Community
Sergio, Silvestre and Remegio and I are members of the K.C. Fraternity. Compadre Remegio, bless his soul, died in 1975, leaving Ellis and their two daughters. As we got married, our responsibilities multiplied. A house and furnishings put us all in debt. The struggle for a living was our first priority. But being Filipino, we still remained close to one another. Our parties and celebrations gave us opportunities to get together quite often and see each other regularly.
Looking back from our school days to the present, we were all blessed with good health, still active and loyal to our Seattle Filipino Community, except Compadre Remegio. Sergio was a president of the Filipino Community for one term, Silvestre for 4 terms while Art and I remained in the sidelines. The Filipino Community of Seattle owns a building at Juneau Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Way We call it the Filipino Community Center. There is a long history of its realization.
It had been planned by the students at the U. of W. in the late 1920's. During the 1930's every Alaska Cannery worker was urged to contribute two dollars for the future building. In my Cannery days, we who went to Port San Juan Cannery were automatically charged two dollars per season. Herman de Cano would keep 2 dollars as each employee was paid his season wages at the de Cano offices in Chinatown. Employees who worked from the different canneries were also urged to donate 2 dollars. After World War II, the desire to have a Seattle Filipino Community building surfaced in Community meetings. Many of us wondered where the amount collected during the years was kept. Only the U.W.F.A.A. was able to report over $3000. This amount was later split and 1/2 went to U.W.F.A.A. and the other 1/2 went to the Community Building fund.
In the late 1950's and early 1960's a concentrated effort to buy a building became the number one priority. Many suggestions to raise funds were mentioned. One that won support was to conduct a Bingo game. Bingo was begun and many participated. Virginia had been the Bingo Treasurer for four years. Queen contests were annually held and had the profits held for the building fund. Other fund raising events were also conducted: dances, dinners, etc. all for the building. These activities slowly paid the mortgage. Finally in 1974, a big celebration was held to burn the mortgage papers. In this celebration, the VIP's were presented and publicly recognized for their long hours each had sacrificed. Virginia was active in the community. She was the Bingo treasurer for many years - helping raise money to pay for the Seattle Filipino Community Center.
Filipino Organizations
As a Family with many friends, we slowly found ourselves in a never ending succession of birthday parties, anniversary celebrations, community affairs, in the company of membership in our several organizations such as the Filipino Columbians and Columbianas, the Northern League, the Narvacanian Club of Washington, the U.W. Filipino Alumni Association and those of different Filipino clubs and organizations. Before 1970, the expense was negligible. Later the drain in our attending a dinner would set us back twenty, twenty-five and now thirty dollars for both of us. The frequency of the affairs is the main problem. That saying of scratch my back and I'll scratch yours never failed to draw us away from an affair. Go. Go.
The Knights of Columbus is an international fraternity of Catholic men. It is an important organization in every Catholic city worldwide. The K.C. supports the catholic faith. I was a third degree member for 15 years, a member of the Chehalis Council 1550 as a third degree. I was not able to join the Seattle Council 676 because of the prejudice that was present even in this Catholic Fraternity! Then I was exalted to the fourth degree, which is the highest rank of the order, with the James Shields Assembly.
When James was able to become a member of the Knights of Columbus, I joined Council 676 in Seattle. I am proud to mention that James is now also a fourth degree member. The Filipino Columbian Club is comprised of Filipino Knights who banded together to promote closer relationships among themselves and promote the national organization's agenda. The charities raffle is an annual project. We are well known by Council 676 because of our annual Easter Brunch. We have been faithfully serving this meal since the 1940's.
The first organization that I joined is the University of Washington Filipino Alumni Association. I also have a life membership in the University of Washington Alumni Association.
Then there is the Northern League, an association of individuals born in northern Luzon. Wherein I am also a life member.
The Narvacanian Club of Washington, an association of men and women with their spouses banded together to promote the welfare of Narvacan, their hometown in Ilocos Sur Province. The club's last assistance to Narvacan was a donation to help light the town plaza. The Narvacan mayor presented other projects to the club for members to consider. The report of the club's public relations officer who is investigating which project for members to consider will be presented soon.
The Asinganian Club of the Pacific Northwest was organized 2 years ago with a great bang! Natives of Asingan, Pangasinan residing in Seattle outnumber other groups in the city. It was no surprise therefore when in February 1990 they inaugurated their coming out celebration, the Filipino Community Center was crowded for the first time since the mortgaged papers were publicly burned with joy, proclaiming the center was finally paid for. So in its 2nd anniversary celebration, the Asinganians once more filled the center. To this organization, Virginia, a native of Asingan had made me a member.
I had joined the VFW early in the 1950's. Eventually I applied for life membership. It was only 4 years ago that I seriously paid much attention to this great organization. Then my comrades saw evidence of my potential as a future commander.
After Virginia's retirement in 1988, she and I got active in VFW Seattle Post 6599. Both of us had been avoiding full involvement in the post and auxiliary. We gave many reasons why we did not get totally participate in its worthwhile activities. However in 1988 our comrades and friends found out that Virginia had retired. Our main reason for non-total commitment to the VFW ended. Our Comrades in the post had known all the years that I had the capability to be an excellent commander. Our sisters of the Auxiliary likewise had tagged Virginia's exceptional potential as President of the Auxiliary. Therefore, after 1988, we really got active. We attended every meeting, supported all their activities and projects. True enough, each of us were elected to the highest position in the post as well as the auxiliary. Virginia was unanimously elected Auxiliary president. Her performance as Auxiliary President in her first year got raves of praises that she was automatically re-elected.
Indeed, her auxiliary sisters wanted her for a third term, but now she had another valid reason to discontinue her full support: our long awaited grandson, Kevin, rescued her from another challenging year. As for me, my comrades likewise wanted me to succeed myself - but I sincerely rejected their wishes, giving my age and failing strength as excuses. We will not entirely abandon the organization, we merely avoid being the principal officers.
Our five clubs plus our loyalty to the Filipino Community of Seattle call our attention, fill our time. But of course, our family above all these organizations comes first. We now devote our time to the 2 additions to our family: beautiful Courtney and handsome Kevin.
The years rolled by and in 1984, James graduated with a bachelors degree in zoology. Then James married Beverly Liza Dacuag of Hawaii, who graduated from Seattle University with a degree in Special Education. They bought a house at 3407 Talbot Street in Renton. In four years we were blessed with a granddaughter, beautiful Courtney. She enlivened our lives. Our dull lives got rejuvenated. She brightened us from day to day. She is now four and loves to have me read stories to her as well as take a walk in front of the house.
Whenever we ask her what she will be, her pat answer is to be like her mommy and be a school teacher. At other times, she would humor her grandma and answer that she might be a beautiful nurse. Then Kevin Anthony arrived. We were overwhelmed with joy. He is now 3 months old and is beginning to recognize his grandma's voice and tries to converse with her with smiles. He is blessed with good health and a happy disposition. So far he sleeps well and loves his formula. I love holding him. He reminds me of his dad. He too cuddled in my arms.
After retirement, I enjoyed the leisure that I had dreamed of for so long. Reading is my favorite pastime. I have books scattered everywhere. The drawback is my inability to retain the importance of what I had read. Indeed, I would take a book and start reading it, only to notice that I had already finished that certain book. I would read before going to sleep and many times I would fall asleep, my glasses on my breast.
We love Husky football. Our family is proud of our Huskies. Whenever our Huskies play in the Rose Bowl, we follow them. The 1992 Rose Bowl is an example. Our family were all present in that memorable game between the Michigan Wolverines and the Washington Huskies which we won 34 to 14. Courtney is only 4 and I hope that she will have followed the Huskies a dozen times by the time she graduates from the U.W. We have two season tickets in a spectacular location. Seats one and two in Row PP, section 28 at U.W. Husky Stadium. Seat one is an aisle seat, so it is convenient to go for refreshments and more importantly to the rest rooms. We could get better seats in Section 26, but not the convenience that we enjoy in Section 28.
Then there is pinochle. Playing pinochle is relaxing. As a rule we play for small stakes such as a quarter for a game or collect a dime or fifteen cents for sets. Also rummy. This is fun for six or seven people to all play on one table. The winner collects a quarter from each player and a penny or 2 cents per point. We are fortunate to have friendly neighbors to play with and enjoy the game.
As I sit in my easy chair with the Holy Bible on my lap, I fondly start reading the Book of Ecclesiastes. This book had given me food for thought for many years. Mr. Summer of the English Department in our English Literature #301 had made us read that famous book of Ecclesiastes. Wise Ecclesiastes, son of David, King of Jerusalem continued to instruct, to inspire and most of all to think what is worthy or otherwise. Now in the twilight years of my life, I think of the ending of my earthly pilgrimage.
Chapter 3, verse 12 of Ecclesiastes points out, "And I have known that there was no better thing than to rejoice and do well in life ." As I reread this line, I seem to think or perhaps convince myself that it sums up exactly my ordinary life. I judge myself as having done well throughout my life. That I am on good terms with all my neighbors; I have not harmed anyone, I am happy with the portion God has allotted me. With deep gratitude I rejoice at my present state. Yes, I think of death, I am not afraid that soon it will overtake me. Indeed I long for it. I firmly believe that I am ready to embrace it for I know I have done everything I can for the well being of my loving family.

No doubt that companies struggle with information security these days. Today they spend hundreds of thousand dollars, some millions, tomorrow they realize they have done nothing! Security folks do not have peaceful night sleep, because they know what they have done during the day could easy be compromised!
Regardless of why we are spending money while we are not certain or confident to an expected outcome, why solutions really getting more and more useless and ineffective? The answer is the hidden monster behind all insecurities within information technology: the complexity beast!
Complex systems introduce complex work flows which are prone to intensive security flaws!
Complicated systems (which are also prone to insufficiency) introduce complex work flows and a model which is naturally prone to have more flaws, result of more surface for the attack and more attack vectors with combined magnitude and even unexpected new evolved way of attach. This is not fiction, this is the dynamic of today's cyber security trend. You hire, you purchase, you train, you consult… you do your best and still you are not confident cause your neighbor company just had a breach and you will be more scared if you have pro visibility and see how malicious actors are already in-house!
Traditions have proven outcome already messaged, although market hesitate to listen, let alone to follow!
Fancy systems are more attractive to adversaries also, and there is reason behind it because they know how the chance of finding a flaw is exponentially higher when they see a fancy colorful IT infrastructure vs a clunky system out there. The worst part of this is that, customers of that fancy information system do not necessarily get better services or goods (products) even they pay more for it, they are also prone to lose more due to a complex system as back-end, but that is another story with its own sad ending.
Complex software and hardware build complex systems
Complex systems are built around complex software, hardware and literally a complex IT setup where a given goal is accomplished through a complicated workflow, and this is either result of poor design, or just excess resource assignment where it is not needed at all. There are millions of examples you look around, or better, start by your own business or department you are managing:
- Do you think all businesses need Windows platform to run applications?
- Do you think you use even 20% of Outlook features and capabilities?
- Do you think most website owners need PHP vs simple HTML?
- Have you ever walked to your company server room and ask your IT guy why things are setup like that?
- Have you ever tried simpler software vs the one with more features?
- Have you ever shopped based on what you need vs what has higher score reviews?
Those are just goofy questions just to fire up the real flame inside you which makes you as yourself: should I really totally trust people that are running my IT infrastructure, or I could use my common sense and just question why I need these complex system? What workflow my business really need and then what simple system is out there to support my workflow regardless of what market is pushing me to buy.
Complex system setup puts us in more trouble when we start securing it with the consistent complicated mindset, and that's where we could end up having more insecurities after spending and relying on sophisticated security solutions. Experience has shown and proven that the simplest way to address security is designing and implementing a simple system, an straightforward workflow is naturally secure, or easier to secure with even free or cheap security solutions which are easier to maintain, manage and run, so the outcome is more secure and cheaper and more reliable and efficient.

Beard Transplant in Turkey
Beard Transplant | FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)
Beard Transplant, FUE Method
The FUE technical beard graft is the solution when the beard is not dense enough, has holes in its hair, too low, or when you want to hide imperfections such as scars or simply harmonize the features of your lower face.
The grafts are taken from your donor area, which is the back of your head at the crown. This area is genetically encoded so the hair never falls out. Hair and beard hair are very similar and have the same regrowth speed.
The FUE Beard Graft procedure is performed under local anesthesia, it is therefore painless and lasts between 2 and 6 hours of intervention depending on the importance of the areas to be corrected or recreated.
The practitioner will draw your beard line according to your wishes. The implantation is then done with micro forceps to fill the spaces or raise your beard line. It is carried out by taking into account the space and orientation of the existing hairs in order to create a perfectly harmonious and natural beard.
For a complete beard, it takes between 2000 and 4000 grafts depending on the shape of the face.
Post-operative result and indications of the beard hair transplant.
Redness and oedema will appear in the first few days and the patient may feel slight itching during the first few days. Small scabs form and fall during the first week after the operation. Redness and pimples may also appear during the first few months as hair grows back.
The permanent hair will grow back from the third month and the result will be clearly visible between 6 months and 1 year.

Eulogies recall Bush's civility, service and love
WASHINGTON - George H.W. Bush was remembered for his basic civility Wednesday at a state funeral in the National Cathedral that brought leaders in a city of acrid political divisions together to celebrate a president who presided over the end of the Cold War while urging forward a kinder and gentler United States on the world stage and at home.
A sometimes tearful former President George W. Bush, the new patriarch of one of the nation's political dynasties, delivered a wrenching tribute under the tall archways of the massive church, recalling his father's humor, his faith and enduring life lessons about love, loyalty and giving back to the community.
"He showed me what it means to be a president who serves with integrity, leads with courage and acts with love in his heart for the citizens of our country," said the 43rd president, who followed his father into the Oval Office by nearly a decade.
"Your decency, sincerity, and kind soul will stay with us forever," said Bush, his voice cracking. "So, through our tears let us know the blessings of knowing and loving you, a great and noble man, the best father a son or daughter could have."
To applause, Bush returned to his seat in the front row, tapping his father's casket and accepting a hug from his wife, former First Lady Laura Bush.
George W. Bush's was the most emotional tribute in a service marked by remembrances of his father's accomplishments as a World War II Navy pilot, ambassador, vice president, and finally as a president who saw the fall of the Berlin Wall, ushered in the reunification of Germany, and kicked the Iraqi Army out of Kuwait.
Bush largely stuck to the personal. "To us, his was the brightest of a thousand points of light," he said, recalling one of his father's familiar refrains.
Among the most poignant eulogies were those that recounted gestures of kindness and expressions of humility before the great spectacle of history.
"An imperfect man, he left us a more perfect union," said presidential biographer Jon Meacham.
Meacham described Bush as a man who felt the burden of having been spared death after his World War II bomber was shot down in the Pacific, killing two crew members.
"In a sense, the rest of his life was a perennial effort to prove himself worthy of his salvation on that distant morning," Meacham said. "To him, his life was no longer his own."
He called Bush, the last president of the World War II generation, America's "last great soldier-statesman," resembling the greatest leaders of the nation.
"Abraham Lincoln's better angels of our nation and George H.W. Bush's 'Thousand Points of Light' are companion verses in America's national hymn," Meacham said. "For Lincoln and Bush both called on us to choose the right over the convenient, to hope rather than to fear and to heed not our worst impulses but our best instincts."
Meacham also poked gentle fun at Bush's public persona, defined in part by comedians and the occasional mispoken word.
"On the primary campaign trail in New Hampshire once, he grabbed the hand of a department store mannequin, asking for votes. When he realized his mistake, he said, "Never know. Gotta ask." You can hear the voice, can't you? As Dana Carvey said, the key to a Bush 41 impersonation is Mr. Rogers trying to be John Wayne."
Former Wyoming Sen. Alan Simpson, a longtime friend and political ally, spoke to one of the low-points in Bush's political career, when he broke his "no new taxes" pledge in an effort to combat rising federal deficits. It was a decision that saw his party turn on him, and likely cost him a second term.
"He often said that when the really tough choices come, 'it's the country, not me. It's not about Democrats, or Republicans. It's for our country, that I fought for,'" Simpson recalled. "And he was a man of such great humility. Those who travel the high road of humility in Washington, D.C., are not bothered by heavy traffic."
Simpson also recalled Bush as a lover of jokes, "the richer the better" - but also as one who could never remember a punch line.
"So, the punch line for George Herbert Walker Bush is this: You would have wanted him on your side," Simpson said. "He never lost his sense of humor. Humor is a universal solvent against the abrasive elements of life."
Former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, who led his country from 1984 to 1993, added another Bush eulogy. Mulroney said that when world leaders worked with Bush, they "knew they were dealing with a gentleman, a genuine leader, one that was distinguished, resolute and brave."
The presence of President Donald Trump at the service, along with the three other surviving presidents and their spouses, added to a sense of civility in a ceremony providing a nostalgic counterpoint to Washington's divisions. His invitation by the Bushes appeared to signal a truce between two leading families representing different brands of the Republican Party and political discourse.
The ceremony was the first presidential funeral since President Gerald Ford died in 2006. But it resembled in some ways the recent service for the late Arizona Sen. John McCain, another gathering of the Washington establishment to which Trump pointedly was not invited.
Trump did not speak at the Bush send-off, a rarity for an official state funeral. Sitting in a front row pew with former Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter - all Democrats - Trump often held his arms folded, though he raised his hand to his heart when Bush's casket was carried into and out of the cathedral.
Though the president and all the former presidents were accompanied by their wives, Trump did not exchange greetings with former First Lady Hillary Clinton, whom he defeated in the 2016 election.
The public also got a chance to pay its respects Wednesday as thousands lined the route of his hearse from the U.S. Capitol, where he had lain in state, to the Washington Cathedral, a distance of about five miles. Along the way, the procession made one last pass by the White House, before his body would be flown back to Texas to be buried by his wife, former First Lady Barbara Bush, who died last April.
In Houston, Bush's body was scheduled to lie in repose at St. Martin's Episcopal Church, where Houstonians could pay their respects throughout the night before his casket was to be moved to College Station Thursday, where the family would hold a private service on the grounds of the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library at Texas A&M.
Some of the last words of the national service were provided by the Rev. Dr. Russell Levenson, Jr., rector of St. Martin's Episcopal Church in Houston, where the Bushes worshiped for the past 50 years
"Some have said in the last few days that this is the end of an era," Levenson said. "But it does not have to be. Perhaps it's an invitation to fill the hole that has been left behind."
To those who want to honor Bush, Levenson said, follow his example of love: "There's no greater mission on planet earth. My hunch is heaven, as perfect as it must be, just got a bit kinder and gentler."
Reporter Bill Lambrecht contributed to this story.

Key trends driving this include ongoing media fragmentation, the increasing use of data in decision-making, the emergence of innovative and precise consumer targeting (i.e. geo-location), the increasing importance of digital platforms, the importance of social media and the rise of customised messaging, to name a few.
The old cliché "right person at the right time in the right way, the right number of times" has never been more relevant than it is today, and will certainly become increasingly important in future.
CAANZ and AUT University, along with New Zealand's leading Media Agencies have teamed up to provide an in-depth media course for mid-and-senior-level marketers responsible for decisions on how and where to spend the marketing budget to better equip them to achieve the optimum return on investment for their media spend.

- understand the changing media landscape and the implications for marketers
- gain a greater understanding of consumer psychology - by identifying insights from recent consumer and media research and then applying principles of media psychology to influence a target audience
- explore ways of strengthening their marketing and advertising through integrated campaign planning to ensure greater returns on spend
- write a more effective and strategic media brief that will result in more efficient and effective media outcomes
- more effectively interrogate their agency's media recommendations
- generate a more effective return for their organisation's media spend
Areas covered by senior media professionals will include:
1) Introduction/inspiration – the future of advertising communications and the key trends driving us there
2) Amplification/idea extension and maximizing impact and efficiency through implementation planning
3) Maximising value through trading and investment
4) Amplification/idea extension through channel planning
5) Audience and consumer insights, guiding strategic development
(practical application from industry experts, theoretical from
Dr Martin Waiguny – two separate presentations)
Is this course right for you?
YES, if you have 3 or more years industry experience and are responsible for making decisions on your organisation's marketing spend. Participants will be looking to further develop their strategic media thinking, and their knowledge and experience of the media discipline as a key component of the overall marketing mix.
The course will be held over 2 days at AUT University in the Sir Paul Reeves Building, Auckland.
