According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research "Interventional Cardiology Devices Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2014 - 2022," the global interventional cardiology devices market was valued at USD 8.7 billion in 2013 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.9 % from 2014 to 2022, to reach an estimated value of USD 11.2 billion in 2022.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most common causes of death globally. It is a progressive condition that leads to obstruction of blood vessels in the artery providing blood to the heart muscles. Increasing incidence of cardiac artery disease is one of the prime factor driving the growth of the market globally. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), CADs account for 64% of all the cardiovascular deaths and is a major cause of loss of quality of life among men and women. Likewise, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), coronary heart diseases accounts for 370,000 deaths in the U.S. each year, and around 1 individual in 13 suffers from coronary artery disease. Coronary artery disease is also considered as the most common cause of premature deaths (aged <65 years) and accounts for 401,000 deaths in Europe each year. Hence, rising prevalence of coronary artery disease would increase the demand for percutaneous interventions, which in turn would propel the growth of interventional cardiology devices market. Furthermore, various advantages of percutaneous interventions over coronary artery bypass grafting, have been primary factors responsible for increased demand and are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period. These advantages include reduced hospital stay, quick recovery and reduced cost.
Depending on the type surgery devices, interventional coronary artery surgeries mainly utilize catheters, stents, PTCA balloons, PTCA guidewires, imaging systems and others. Of these, stents accounted for over 59% share of the market in 2013 and would continue to lead the market in future in terms of revenue. Stents market is further subdivided into bare metal stents, drug eluting stents and bio absorbable stents. Presently, drug eluting stents are considered gold standard treatment for opening the blocked artery and thus majority of the stents revenue is generated by drug eluting stents (DES). However, delayed healing and risk of thrombosis (blood clotting) associated with DES which may lead to death and restenosis have led to introduction of bioabsorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS). Thus, gradual shift of surgeons from DES to BVS, is expected to decline the market share of DES by over 23% by the end of forecast period, which will be captured by BVS market to grow at a CAGR of 25.7% from 2014-2022.
Increasing prevalence of coronary artery disease and aging population which is at higher risk for CAD are the major factors driving the uptake of angiography, guiding and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) catheters. Percutaneous guiding catheters held approximately 43% share of the market in 2014, followed by angiography and IVUS catheters. IVUS catheters are projected to witness slow growth during the forecast period due to high cost and lack of efficient reimbursement policies in most parts of the world. Japan is the largest and the most lucrative market for IVUS, as the country provides effective reimbursement for IVUS procedures. North America and Europe dominated the global interventional cardiology devices market in 2013 majorly due to high cost of percutaneous interventions and presence of major key manufacturers in the region. China and India are the major markets in Asia-Pacific that exhibit immense opportunities for interventional cardiology devices manufacturers; the interventional cardiology devices market in Asia-Pacific has been forecast to expand at a CAGR of 4.8% during 2014 - 2022
Boston Scientific, Abbott Laboratories, and Medtronic plc are the key players that collectively accounted for over 60% share of the interventional cardiology devices market in 2013. St. Jude Medical, Terumo Medical, Volcano Corporation, and Reva Medical, Atrium Medical, AngioScore, Johnson and Johnson (Cordis subsidiary), Elixir Medical, and MicroPort Scientific Corporation are other prominent players in the market.

I had the pleasure of returning a SP Cruiser back to her slip after the 2017 Annapolis Spring Boat Show. It was a chilly evening and there was 16 kts of wind. She handled the conditions well and powered along nicely at 7.3 kts while running the 110 HP Yanmar at 2,500 RPM. I unfurled the sails and she cruised along easily at 5.5 while wing on wing. I enjoyed the warmth of the pilot house and push button sailing.
Flossie B has had two owners. She was purchased new in 2007 by her original owners who lived in Wickford, RI. Her first name was Catspaw. Her original owners kept her in Wickford. They cruised seasonally and took her to FL and the Bahamas a few times. In 2014 the current owners purchased her in Wickford. They took her to Boothbay, Maine and had Norm Pierce (IP dealer) do some work. They sailed the Maine coast during the summer of 2015. In the fall of 2015, they headed south to Key Largo, FL before heading over to the Bahamas. After the Bahamas, they took Flossie B to the west coast of FL for a bit before finding their way to Vero Beach in 2016. She has been lightly used and professionally maintained since 2016.

Conroy set to stop telemarketing calls for five years
- 03 May, 2010 16:13
The Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Stephen Conroy, has announced that he will extend the registration period on the Do Not Call Register from three years to five years.
Under Conroy's proposed amendment to the Do Not Call Register Amendment Bill 2009, which is currently before parliament, anyone who registered their phone numbers in 2007 would not need to reregister until 2012.
"Current legislation requires that phone numbers be re-registered every three years," Conroy said. "That means from the end of May, the phone numbers of those who registered in May 2007 will start to become available to telemarketers, unless they are reregistered."
As part of the amended proposal, the Federal Government will scrap its plans to put business numbers onto the register. Senator Conroy said that this change will ensure quick passage of the amendments through parliament.
Labor's previous plan to include business numbers on the register was criticised by the federal opposition, which said it was potentially harmful to legitimate businesses.
The Do Not Call Register blocks telemarketers from gaining access to landline and mobile phone numbers. You can list your Australian fixed line and mobile numbers on the register, provided the numbers are used primarily for private or domestic purposes.
As it stands, if you registered your phone numbers when the service launched in May 2007, you will need to reregister your phone numbers by the end of May 2010 or risk an influx of telemarketer calls. According to the ACMA, almost 40 per cent of numbers have been reregistered.
ACMA Chairman Chris Chapman said more than 39 per cent of land line phone numbers and almost 43 per cent of mobile phone numbers have been reregistered. "This is a fantastic result. It sends a strong message — Australians want the option to block unwanted telemarketing calls and not be interrupted on the home phone or the mobile," he said.
Nearly 4.7 million home, mobile and VoIP numbers are currently listed on the Do Not Call Register.

Insults, condescension, personal attacks. Hey, it's all in a days work for Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery, particularly when it comes to the issue of legalized pot-smokin', which he recently debated on Channel 3's Sunday Politics Unplugged show with state Representative Ruben Gallego.
Gallego, a Democrat, whose wife, Kate, recently won a hard-fought race for a seat on the Phoenix City Council, has announced plans to drop a marijuana-legalization bill during this legislative session.
Monty, being the über-conservative Republican prosecutor that he is, staunchly opposes any such effort in Arizona. Similarly, he's been a loud critic of voter-approved medical marijuana and has done everything in his power to derail it.
The segment, which aired January 12, opened with a clip of one of Monty's press conferences in which he dismissed legalization as a "dumb idea" and tagged supporters of legalization as "either ignorant or indifferent."
Monty drops his insult bomb around 10:10 of this segment . . .
That tone continued as he argued with Gallego, with Monty repeating the "ignorant indifferent" line a couple of times, calling the proposal "stupid," accusing Gallego of being a "publicity policymaker," and saying that legislators like Gallego want to be "want to become the own authors of our societal suicide."
Never mind that Colorado's legalization scheme for personal use recently went into effect with neither the rending of the fabric of society nor the general population's running amok with reefer madness.
In fact, press reports from Colorado have shown regular folks from all walks of life politely lining up to purchase pot legally.
Gallego responded to Monty's insults with the standard pro-legalization pitch: We can tax and regulate it, eliminate the black market, end the failed "war on drugs," focus on more serious crimes, restrict the use of it to those 21 and older, etc.
The argument turned testy at times, then Monty got the last word, which was a doozy:
"What is it with Harvard-trained politicians?" he asked rhetorically. "Whether it's at law school or undergrad, [they have] bad ideas, can't follow laws, cheat on their wives, and come up with ridiculous ideas about marijuana."
The segment ended shortly thereafter, giving Gallego no chance to respond. Later, Channel 3's Carey Peña made a statement that Monty had clarified his remarks via Twitter and was not directing his shot about infidelity toward Gallego, who received his B.A. from Harvard.
"Ruben is a good and honorable husband," Tweeted Monty after the taping. "Just high when it comes to marijuana :)"
A couple of hours later, he followed it up with an actual mea culpa, minus the lame attempt at humor.
"Formal apologies to Ruben Gallego and his wife," Monty wrote. "Absolutely no intent to question his fidelity."
So whose fidelity was he questioning? Well, Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne obtained both his bachelor's degree and his law degree from Harvard. And Montgomery, a Horne critic, is backing Horne's Republican primary challenger Mark Brnovich.
Add to this Horne's now-infamous FBI-witnessed fender-bender in the parking lot of his alleged mistress/employee's apartment complex, and 2 + 2 = 4.
As far as "bad ideas" and "can't follow laws," Monty may have had in mind his former boss, disgraced, disbarred ex-county attorney Andy Thomas, who like Horne has a law degree from Harvard.
Though the "ridiculous ideas about marijuana" certainly was directed at Gallego, Monty's comment didn't explain this for viewers.
The full remark was too inside baseball and came out of nowhere. If you didn't know better, it would seem directed solely at Gallego.
I'm surprised that Gallego, a former Marine who did a tour of duty in Iraq, didn't knock Monty (an Army vet) on his ass. I'd actually pay good money to watch that chin-check.
Apparently, the two men had words once the camera was off. (Peña mentioned that there had been "some fallout" from Montgomery's remark.)
I called Gallego. He didn't want to get into what words may have been exchanged after the taping was over, choosing the high road instead.
"I am going to accept his apology," Gallego told me. "I hope he learns from something like this that people have to be careful with their words. I've made mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes. But, especially on TV, you can't blindly attack your opponent for the sake of winning an argument.
"At the end of the day, it was not me who was really insulted. It was the audience. There are a lot of really good people out there that genuinely disagree with Montgomery. And there are people who genuinely disagree with me. But I certainly don't call them dumb or their ideas dumb, and I think it's inappropriate for the county attorney to do the same."
I do like the idea of Monty calling Horne out on his Horne-doggedness, though I wish he would do it in a way that actually makes sense and hits his intended target.

I mean, didn't they teach Monty how to shoot straight at West Point?
Also, you've gotta admit it's unfair to compare Ruben Gallego to Sultan of Sleaze Tom Horne or delusional former power-tripper Andy Thomas.
Not every Harvard grad can reach such depths of iniquity, shamelessness, and abuse of power. Try though they might.

Didn't get off to a great start; it was pretty bad in fact. The other guy apparently did his car research till 4am and woke up at almost 10. He then proceeded to wash up and start to figure out how to how to get to his car dealership. During this period of time, I actually managed to shower and finish a session of game of Sanctum with 20 waves. When I went down to look for him, he was still struggling to figure how the direction. He refused my help and told me I could just go about doing my own stuff if I want. At this point I got really pissed and reminded him of the plan to explore together, I had even offered to accompany him to look for his car. He went to lament that he only got to sleep a few hours and that I can't be selfish by wanting to do things together. At this point I swore at him, went back to my room and proceed to do laundry; and I made a decision not to live with him for 17 months.
Laundry was easy enough. I didn't realized there was already 5 bucks deposited in the smart card. Chatted with Jo and read a book while waiting for the laundry to be done.
Took a bus to Complexe Desjardins, one of the bigger shopping malls. It's nowhere as big as the malls we have in Singapore to be clear. Walked past what seems to be a Just for Laughs event setting up. Walked around and bought a pair of sandals. It seems they're having summer sale now. Stopped by the metro station to top up my transport card for next week.
Went back to the apartment to bring my recyclables to the supermarket. Was trying to put the glass bottles into the machine and got scolded. Recycling in Montreal is serious business.
Shopped for groceries for next week and bumped into the other trainee. Small world.

92.02.15 off-limits soundchecktime3:280:4192.02.15 off-limits gig3:193:404:183:184:403:082:424:154:104:593:35
92.02.15 Off Limits
with Injustice and Roadkillvideo sound/mix band crowd
video camera Todd Grubbs
This video is kind of unique. First, there is a long soundcheck focusing on each band member, and 2 soundcheck songs.
I remember the other bands sitting around and kind of salty at all the soundchecking we were getting, because obviously with 5 other bands they would not get the same time invested in their sound in the hustle to change over.
Often mikes got misplaced or left off amps picking up ambient sounds. I told a couple of the guys in one band that we'd been doing this for a while, and as long as you didn't have to start too early in the night, first slot was not a bad way to go.
Not only did you get a really good soundcheck, all the other bands and their fans would be your audience, which would dwindle as the night went on and each band's fans left. One kid (from the band who had organized the gig and who were "top of the bill") disagreed and said it was worth it to headline.
I heard him later complaining to the sound guy that we had gotten about an hour's soundcheck and wondering how long theirs would be in between bands. The soundguy said "none, I'll do it on the fly" which didn't go down well, but we thought it was kind of funny, anyway.
They ended up playing in front of their girlfriends, the waitstaff and about 5 other people while we played in front of at least 100.
Headlining was not always a glory position, not in this type of situation.
Secondly, Todd got on stage for parts of Bad Crazy and focused on Chuck from behind the kit, and then shot across the front of the stage from Curt's side for HMSQ and Reign of Terror.
This was a mixed blessing because this is the gig with the best audio quality and tone, and most of Bad Live & Crazy is based on this gig. However, on the songs where Todd came up on stage to the drums, the rest of the band drops out. I either had to edit the songs, combining with an inferior sounding song that had a better balance, or use a completely different version.
The 92.03.27 Off Limits gig was used as a secondary choice for songs for the live version, so there must have been pretty good acoustics in that place.
Although I remember it as a big gymnasium-type venue, it was a teen club/disco before it became a non-alcoholic rock club. Now it's a Green Iguana.
So this gig was different in a lot of ways. We shook the setlist up slightly by moving some songs around for a change.
Also, this is the only live version of Beast with 2 Backs, a song we added for just this one gig.
It didn't work that well so we dropped it right after.
This was the first night, Saturday, of 2 gig nights in a row.
Sunday night we did the Graveyard Shift at the Rocket Club and played the same set, but replaced Beast with Nightmare Landscape and Murder with Latter days.
You can see when Todd pans the audience that there were a lot of people there, but they were a bit subdued, mostly because they were fans of the other 5 bands playing that night. We started at 10 and it took nearly an hour for bands to play, get on and off, so the last band had a late night of it.
We were supposed to have started at 9pm, but there are always delays, another reason we liked to get an early slot.
We didn't push for them to hurry up, since we were ok with it, but the other bands were beside themselves by the end of our set.
Also, we probably had the biggest fanbase out of the bands there, and our people pretty much all left when we were done. The club owner noted this and booked us again for the next month.
We had a good contingent of fans there, it was our first time playing the Off Limits.
It was ostensibly a teen club, but since they had bands, and it was hard to find venues for original acts, most of the people in the club were adults, not kids.
All of the bands were guys in their 20's and 30's. The other bands (the nice guys, anyway) were blown away by our soundcheck songs and had a lot of nice things to say about our set when we were done. I don't think I saw any teens there at all, maybe a couple.
Most of them were playing obscure metal cuts and a few originals, but nothing as ambitious as the stuff we were doing, no double leads or 3 part harmonies, if any backing vocals at all. So, it was a pretty fun gig.
Other than the fact that the monitors fed my vocal mike back the entire night (the soundguy did considerably more work on the outfront sound than he did with our monitors).
I stop singing sometimes and leave out lines, most noticably in Bad Crazy. The guy had a stage board for mixing the monitors, but no one running it, so he had run up to the side of the stage and it was a bitch getting him to move.
We just dealt with it best we could. The front of the house sound was stellar though, I have to say, the long soundcheck was worth it. This may be the best mixed video, you can hear everything other than a few times he misses that it's Mike playing lead.
I once again fuck up the first few lines of Damned. I have no idea why, at earlier gigs I was fine. Brain damage kicking in.
This show has the new arrangement of Goodbye '89, with Mike's guitar solo replacing the stop break, but I still sing the intro instead of Mike, even though he had been singing lead on it for a few gigs now.
The very next night he would start doing it and continue to do so as long as we played it.
I can't remember why he didn't sing it this night, but it sounded much better with him taking the lead and me on backing vocals.

List RulesList of every Fanta flavor in the world, including discontinued and regional varieties. Vote up your favorite type of Fanta.
"Wanta Fanta?" You might remember this catchy jingle, played behind advertisements for the fruity sodas in the 2000s. The beverages are actually much older than that. These soft drinks were first developed by the Coca-Cola company in Germany during World War II. The first Fanta flavors were simple: apples and sugar. In the decades since the drink was first developed, though, types of Fanta have expanded to include over 90 flavors across the globe.
What are all the Fanta flavors? In the United States, top selling varieties include fruit favorites like orange, strawberry, and grape. But this list travels the world to round up unique kinds of Fanta, the flavors you won't find in every grocery store or corner market. In Australia, for instance, you could enjoy a refreshing sour watermelon Fanta. You'd need to travel to the Netherlands to try a cassis, or black currant, version of the beverage. And some regions even boasted Fantas that tasted like bubblegum – not to mention birch beer or bitter herbs.It's up to you to decide which flavor of Fanta is the best. Vote the top Fanta flavors up towards number one, and add any rare bottles of pop that are missing.

Watch Parks and Recreation in its new time slot on Thursday's at 8:30/7:30c on NBC
As many of you know this gem of an underrated comedy has been my favorite since day one and my loyalty to the show has only grown over the years.
- Amy Poehler: She just brings it in her role as Leslie Knope a character that will make you love people in government.
- Heart– The comedy knows how to bring tender emotional moments that the casts plays so well. The episodes "Win, lose, or draw" & "Halloween Surprise" just bring out the best in the show.
- Nick Offerman as Ron Swanson– The anti government, mustached guy is such a unique a character that you can't help but love from the start. And not to mention the Tammy's. Plus Nick is practically the character he plays on the show in real life.
- Relationships– Leslie/Ben & April/Andy these characters weren't forced together they were made for each other and there relationships just make you feel good.
- Laughs– Full of great lines from all the characters you can't help but laugh at the situations they find themselves in and you just feel good at the end of every episode.

A British security consultant who was paid £300,000 to assist efforts by Kate and Gerry McCann to find their daughter Madeleine is being sought by the FBI over an alleged £1.3m fraud.
A £500,000 contract given to Kevin Halligen's private detective agency, Oakley International, to help with the search for the missing child was terminated last year after a major benefactor of the McCanns expressed concerns about the quality of the firm's work.
However, Halligen is now wanted by the FBI following an indictment issued by US authorities in connection with allegations that he defrauded a London law firm of money that was supposed to be used to lobby for the release of two executives from the Dutch company Trafigura, arrested in the Ivory Coast.
He is accused of using the money to buy a mansion in Great Falls, Virginia, that sources close to the McCanns believe may also have been funded by money intended to be spent on efforts to find Madeleine.
Halligen, an Irishman living in the UK who presented himself in private security industry circles as a former intelligence operative, owes £100,000 to others who carried out work on the Madeleine case, the Sunday Times reported.
The McCanns' spokesman, Clarence Mitchell, said: "Oakley International was contracted to help with the search for Madeleine. Due diligence was carried out at every stage and payment was only made for work properly carried out. It was only towards the end of the six-month contract that question marks were raised about delivery in some areas and the contract was terminated."
The McCanns did not contact the police about Halligen, who visited their home, but his behaviour aroused suspicions at an early stage among the couple and their advisers.
Oakley International secured the contract from the Find Madeleine Fund to monitor the phone hotline, sift through CCTV footage of possible sightings and carry out investigative work.
However, it was terminated after the British double-glazing millionaire Brian Kennedy, who has underwritten the fund's work, raised concerns. Documents reportedly show that Halligen's company was withdrawing large amounts of money for personal use.

Four years later, I graduated with a bachelors in Psychology and a minor in Dance. A few short years later, I attended Union University where I received my master's in Education. In 2008 I was hired as a school counselor in Henderson County. During this time, I completed an additional +30 hours, an endorsement in school counseling and a community mental health license through the University of Tennessee at Martin. So how did I end up with a heart for home education? Simple answer. God! When my daughter was 13 months old, God placed on my heart to step out of my comfort zone and begin this home education journey. I spent the next several years preparing to launch Victory Home Education in the fall of 2015. God has been so faithful! I thank Him daily for allowing me to serve others in my community and blessing with me with my Victory Home Education family. To God be the glory!

Single digit response times are fully possible. And I think we should try to get there, it may not always be possible but that's no reason not to explore our options. A fast site will feel more responsive, and using less resources means that you can handle massive load on less resources.
Caching content is perhaps the single most effective measure. Living in a web world we have three main ways to go
- Http caching (think RFC7234 and headers such as max-age, etags and If-Modified-Since)
- Output cache, either built-in or products like Varnish
- Application cache.
In this post we're going to look at the last of these, the one closest to your stack. This is where you end up when you need to alter the response before you emit data from the server.
Starting out with a small solution, often hosted on a single server, the application cache normally lives in-memory and the objects are kept as is. It's fast and relatively easy, the memory management is often taken care of for you.
After a while your application grows, you have multiple servers and having local caches may no longer be optimal. Problems such as cache sync arise - serving the same user different data just because the user ended up on a different server makes your application feel britle and awkward. Enter the remote cache. These days often implemented using Redis (Redis is really on a roll with both AWS and Microsoft offering Redis as a service).
So, what happens when you switch from a local cache to a remote cache? You get two penalties
- Network IO
- Serialization
Redis is fast, we're talking about 6-8ms response times with network IO and serialization, but when your goal is single digit response times, that's too much.
So, how can we have both? A layered cache, using both a remote cache and a local cache. This also plays well with this cloud thing where instances pop up when needed and instance memory is not really expensive.
How much memory do you really need to keep your entire site in memory?
To get this to play well we also need to
- Keep our local caches in sync
- A fast serialization when we hit the remote cache
To keep our local caches in sync we need a pub/sub mechanism, Redis has this built in and makes the implementation quite trivial. It's not a reliable sync, i.e. the messages are published, if a client is disconnected for some reason, it will not get the updated. I find that this is something we normally can live with.
The serialization part of it is also solved for us, there are several fast serialization procotols available to us, such as MsgPack, Protobuf, Bond or Avro. You will find that these protocols have their pros and cons, In .Net land MsgPack does not require class markup, but cannot cope with inheritance. Protobuf can, but requires a serialization definition. Yan Cui has a nice benchmark over at http://theburningmonk.com/benchmarks/.
What ever you do, BinaryFormatter is slow.
So, by creating a layered distributed cache we can achieve fast response times and a synchronized cache. As an added benefit we can use the pub/sub mechanism to push data changes to the cache from other services. This comes in real handy in the microservices world.
DoubleCache is my own implementation of a layered distributed cache for .Net. Using Redis as the remote storage, and System.Runtime.MemoryCache (can easily be switched to HttpCache). I've tried to stick to a single interface, making it possible to switch between a local cache, remote cache, local and remote, or a synced local and remote cache. The implementation follows the cache-aside and decorator patterns.

text: Find out how to fight back against dry winter skin with dermatologist approved tips. We all know winter can be brutal on our skin, what steps are necessary to take once the temperature drops? As with the other three seasons, it is just as important to practice a full regimen of cleansing, treating (or toning), protecting (with SPF) and moisturizing every day. Contrary to popular belief, sunscreen isn't just for the warmer months, exposure to the sun during the winter months can be just as harmful. Sun reflects off the white snow and there's typically much more water on the ground to reflect those UVA/UVB rays onto our skin. Indoor heat and toasty temperatures that help us thaw out from the cold are the worst factors for drying out the skin especially for lips and hands. Try washing with a cleanser that has additional moisturizing properties such as the DDF Advanced Micro-Exfoliation Cleanser. This will help add additional hydration to the skin. Winter time calls for a little more moisturization than normal so incorporate it into each step of your skincare regime and don't forget to drink plenty of water. What active ingredients should we be looking for in winter skincare products? Moisturizers in general, Aloe Vera, Sodium Hyaluronate, Shea Butter, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Coconut Oil and Evening Primrose. What factors did DDF take into account for winter skincare? Creating toners that won't strip skin like DDF Aloe Toning Complex. It balances PH levels and contains hydrating properties like Aloe Vera and SPF 15, which is available in many of the DDF products, although SPF 30 is recommended for time spent in the sun. However, SPF 15 will help give protection from indirect sun and indoor lighting, especially around the fragile eye area. No regimen is one size fits all, so how can the different skin types tailor to their needs? Oily Skin patients have to be extremely careful to not strip their skin, which causes the skin to produce even more oil. They also have to be sure to not overhydrate their skin with greasy moisturizers because that will cause a breakout. I recommend they cleanse with DDF Salicylic Wash. Treat with DDF Benzoyl Peroxide Gel and protect and moisturize with DDF Mattifying Oil Control Moisturizer SPF 15 as it is an excellent choice to help keep oily skin hydrated and oil-free. Sensitive Skin patients can suffer from flare-ups during the winter months by over applying rich moisturizers. I recommend they cleanse with DDF Sensitive Skin Cleansing Gel. Treat with DDF Aloe Toning Complex and Protect & Moisturize with DDF Ultra-Lite Oil-Free Moisturizing Dew Regular and SPF 15. The Moisturizing Dew was specifically created within the DDF Sensitive Skin anti-aging line as it is oil-free and noncomedogenic. Also, it has skin clearing properties and can be applied whenever the skin feels too taught or dry, day or night. How should one use scrubs and peels during winter? Scrubs & Peels can irritate skin during any season if not used properly. Typically once a week should suffice depending on the ingredients and their potency. Always test these in small areas before applying all over the face and follow package directions. Use products that contain moisturizing ingredients to help not dry the skin. DDF Sulfur Therapeutic Mask is a great alternative to a peel and contains Sweet Almond Oil, which has skin-clearing properties. Check back next week for a customize DDF winter skincare regimen.

"Portrait of a Landscape: The Flint Hills"
re-aired April 2019
Portrait of a Landscape: The Flint Hills
See the beauty of the prairie through a visually-stunning journey.
About the Show
See the beauty of the prairie through a visually-stunning journey, photographed in high-definition digital perfection, featuring the glorious Flint Hills during one of their most visual times of the year: spring.
Gorgeous wildflowers, magnificent landscapes, dramatic prairie fires and tremendous thunderstorms are all part of the visual impact of the Flint Hills, showcased by magnificent aerial digital video.
Long ago, 250 million acres extended their reach across Canada to Texas. Today the tallgrass prairie is almost entirely gone, claimed and farmed by settlers and early pioneers. But in the Midwest, Kansas was lucky. Due to the rocky soil that is made mostly of limestone, the prairie was spared the plow and survived.
Read more about the show below.
A Closer Look at "Portrait of a Landscape: The Flint Hills"
More About "Portrait of a Landscape: The Flint Hills"
So named for the abundant residual mineral which eroded from the lower bedrock and lies near the surface, the Flint Hills are one of nature's true treasures. Today this special, delicately balanced ecosystem provides a unique fertile preserve for an amazing variety of flora and fauna and a home for many creatures from butterflies to bison.
For this unique project, videography was produced by Rockhouse Motion. From a studio that sits on the family farm in the prairie, first settled by ancestors over a century ago, Rockhouse Motion has created an intense and unforgettable emotion through their camera lens taking viewers on a Flint Hills journey like never before.
This historic program places viewers right into the life-cycle of the Flint Hills to see all the beauty and drama unfold.

This kind of insurance is commonly referred to as property insurance or home insurance because it gives you coverage for your home and gives you compensation in case of a loss. Home insurance helps you in case your home suffers theft of is partially destroyed by causes covered under the policy. It can even go as far as pay for the rebuilding of your home if it gets destroyed.
A home insurance policy allows you to set the limits to the amount of your claims or the amount of liability claims made under your name. You can talk to an agent about how much coverage you need to make sure you and your home stays protected.
What Does It Cover?
A home insurance policy may cover different types of risks that are involved in being a homeowner to prevent you from spending your own money. Here are some examples.
Damage to Property: This includes theft or damage to your home or and/or structures within the premises. You are eligible to receive this type of compensation depending on your policy if your home is damaged because of a covered threat. This coverage includes hurricanes or heavy winds; however, floods or earthquakes usually require a separate policy. You have to review your policy for more information.
Loss of Personal Property: Damage of personal can also be covered depending on the limits of your policy. Compensation is also given in the event of theft and other covered events under your policy. Just like damage to property, this also excludes damage due to flooding and earthquakes. You also need to customize your limits on your policy if you want more compensation.
Liability: If someone who lives in the insured home causes injury, damage to property or accident, your home insurance can cover you. The coverage can extend to property repair or medical bills depending on the situation. It's good to take note that there are some exclusions so you need to fully review the liability coverage on your policy.
How Does It Work?
Think of a homeowners insurance policy as a safety net that you buy for your home. In the event of damages, it has your back and can save you from spending money out of your pocket for repairs. You can also use it to make a claim if you lose your house under covered circumstances. Remember, home repairs can cause thousands of dollars with the materials and labor costs. This is why home insurance policies is important to consider for homeowners.
Choosing the best insurance company is essential to get the amount of protection that you deserve. At Western Pacific, our mission is to ensure that we protect our clients and offer them policies that they can afford.

Photographer's Note
This place is located close to my hometown of Yekaterinburg (former Sverdlovsk) and is named "Ganina pit" which in 1918 was a mine. This sad story in the history of my country goes back to July 1918 when the whole family,including personal doctor Botkin,servants and children, of the last russian Emperor Nikolai II Romanov was killed and thrown into this mine to prevent any recovery and identification.
It took more than 50 years for historians, archeologists, volunteers and people to search archives, tones of documents in Russia and foreign countries to find this place, recover and identify remains, performs dozens of different analysis in numerous laboratories and scientific centres around the globe to finally declare - yes, it is the family of the last russian Emperor.
Nowadays this place is being visited by many people from all over the country and abroad, it has large memorial complex with photos, memorabilia, documents, notes, clothes, armory...
More information about this place and history can be found here -

Hey Mike,
I did watch a documentary special about the tragic end of this family just about a month ago. His daughters were burnt in the woods and the remains were scattered and concealed. It was really sad to watch, but very interesting.
What a beautiful structure of this church; love the green and wood contrasting together.

Know the rules or risk being removed from the Vatican Museums
Outside the Museums, photography with flash is permitted unless stated otherwise. Inside the Museums there are different rules. Some galleries allow you to take photos while other rooms, such as the Sistine Chapel and the Room of Signatures, specifically state you may NOT take any photographs or use any recording devices. Cell phones are also strictly forbidden in the Sistine Chapel. Docents in the Museum have the right to remove anyone who disrespects the rules. Under all circumstances, 'flash' is not allowed inside the Museums. Whilst you may see some tourists using 'flash' we discourage it due to the fact that it fades the artwork (particularly frescos and paintings) and generally speeds up the process of deterioration. If you have any questions regarding the rules of photography, don't hesitate to ask your guide! If you would like more information, please click on this link.

That's how we say "enjoy your meal" on the Arlberg. We love to spoil you in our small but select restaurant. We believe that good food in relaxed surroundings really makes a holiday enjoyable.
Authentic dishes from the region await, prepared with top-quality ingredients and a lot of love and attention by our local kitchen team in the open-view kitchen. Anyone who ever tried Käsknöpfle (cheese spaetzle) from a wooden bowl knows what Voralberg tastes like.
End the day out front on our terrace with its wonderful view and watch the sun make way for the night sky.

Members of the PCS civil service union are continuing their long-running campaign for union recognition at the Interserve outsourcing company which provides maintenance and cleaning services at the Foreign Office. Four further days of strike action were planned for 7, 8, 11 and 12 November. Meanwhile members of the UNISON public service union are planning two days of strike action at three hospitals run by the Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust. Around 1000 cleaners, caterers, porters, security and estates staff are threatened with outsourcing as part of a national trend in the health sector to set up wholly-owned subsidiaries. UNISON is campaigning against the initiative.

Rich space nerds have this fantasy that the Earth is going to be turned into a smoldering fireball, or an unlivable post-climate change dystopian hellscape, and, well, there's just nothing we can do about that so we'd better figure out how to send 8 smart unappreciated rich guys and A LOT of hot breeding age women and some robot babysitters to do the hard work to, say, Mars, where they will solve the simple problem of interplanetary colonization and terraforming and begin the new utopian future dedicated to freedom and rule by rich nerds. To save humanity!
Probably a bit easier to clean things up a bit here at home, I imagine, but what do I know.

Cois Life: 185 pp; paperback; ISBN 978 1 907494 66 6
A young language activist from Co. Clare, Eoin Ó Síocháin, travels to Brazil to learn more about a violent conflict between a native tribe and landowners. As he comes to learn more about the local people he comes to an understanding that the story is not as straightforward as it first appeared to him - but by the time he realises this, it is too late. Despite his misgivings, Eoin finds himself in the eye of the storm as the conflict comes to a head.
'The reader is engulfed by this story and swept along to the very last page and the book's stunning conclusion. I welcome a story in Irish that is set, not only so far away from Ireland, in Brazil, but that, very successfully, ties the circumstances of the Irish language and Ireland with the circumstances of a tribe in Brazil. I must praise the finesse and subtlety used to this end by the author, which illustrates the danger of naivety and lazy comparisons. — An tOll. Máire Ní Annracháin.
Rebekka Vogelzang, a young Dutchwoman, is fighting to save the Irish language, which she has learnt on the job in an Irish-speaking café in Galway. She puts her heart and soul into every scone she bakes and every cup of espresso she makes because she knows the very salvation of the language depends upon it. But who will save Rebekka? A novel about idealism, loyalty, love and ... coffee.

The Gene Siskel Film Center, in partnership with the Institut Français
and the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in New York and Chicago, proudly present an 8-film tribute to French cinema master Jacques Demy (1931-1990). Often associated with the French New Wave of the 1960's, Demy stood out among his contemporary filmmakers with his distinctive style and intuitive knowledge about the trials of the human heart.
His first film, Lola (1961), garnered considerable praise and attention, but it was his Umbrellas of Cherbourg
(1964), that took his career to new heights on an international scale. Following the success of Umbrellas, and the later hit The Young Girls of Rochefort, Demy's career took an interesting turn. He began to experiment with topics and settings, while still holding true to his own distinctive style of bittersweet melancholy.
In 1962, Demy wed the equally acclaimed director Agnès Varda. She has been pivotal to the preservation of her late husband's legacy, through her film contributions about his life and work (Jacquot de Nantes, 1991) and through her supervision in the restoration of his timeless films.
In the coastal town of Cherbourg, the daughter of an umbrella-shop owner falls in love with an automechanic. The Algerian War intervenes. A winner of the 1964 Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, and a receiver of numerous accolades including 4 Academy Award nominations, this film shines as one of Demy's most internationally adored contributions to French cinema.
A Monroesque dance-hall girl dates three different men as she faithfully awaits the return of a sailor who left her pregnant 7 years ago.
Two beautiful, musically-inclined twins eagerly yearn for love and escape from their port-city hometown.
A Parisian bank clerk is enchanted by a glamorous compulsive gambler while on holiday in the French Riviera in this tale of obsession and self-destruction.
This all-sung film is set in strike-torn Nantes in 1955. A steelworker striker rents a room in an upper class widow's boarding house. After abandoning his pregnant girlfriend, he falls in love with a part-time prostitute, who unbeknownst to him is the widow's daughter.
A soon-to-be-drafted young architect follows a mysterious woman in a white dress. The woman is Lola from Demy's earlier film, who is now working in Los Angeles as a cheesecake model. Lola's aftermath and story unfolds in the dreamlike setting of LA at the end of the 20th century.
The wife of the king of the blue kingdom makes him promise to only marry a woman whose beauty equals hers before she dies. In the wake of her death, the king discovers the only woman who would fit the promise is his own daughter.
In this outlandish comedy a Parisian driving-school instructor is informed that he is pregnant. The media frenzy that follows raises larger questions about gender stereotypes and adds tension to the expectant father's relationship with his wife.
This four-film series will begin during the 2014 Wisconsin Film Festival, with screenings of new restorations of Lola, the Umbrellas of Cherbourg, and even Agnes Varda's documentary and love letter to her late spouse about his life and work.
Supported by the Cultural Services of the French Embassy and the Institut Français.
In a special, Valentines Day presentation, the Cleveland Cinematheque will present Demy's most adored film about love and loss.

Ditch the Smartphone for these 3 Digital Point and Shoots
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cameras, Editorial,
Sometimes, your smartphone camera just isn't enough for taking great photos and you need a legitimate point and shoot digital camera. It's okay to admit it – that little lens isn't always the best at detecting light, zooming in, or snapping clear pictures, no matter how good it may be at making selfies. If you need to take pictures that your smartphone just can't handle, you need a digital camera – but you probably don't want to pay too much for one.

Gardens need regular maintenance, and one of the main ways to do so is by watering. A garden hose is one of those tools you cannot do without if you what that lush greenness. When choosing a hose make sure you have done your research on what is need specifically for the garden you have. It is not always about length or cost. The best hose is one that can serve the purpose as well as stay long enough for you to see its benefits.
What to consider before you buy a garden hose
Material durability
A garden hose made from the material that can withstand different weather conditions is the best choice for any gardener. Rubber fits most of these qualities though it can be costly. There other alternatives like vinyl but are not as durable as rubber. The ability of a hose to allow high water pressure without busting or breaking will all be credited to the material.
The misconception that longer is better has led to many making bad choices when choosing a hose for their garden. Apart from the cost being higher, long hoses have a tendency of being tangled as well as heavy when you carry them around from the shop. Make sure that the length is just enough for your needs.
A garden is very expansive which means you will have to change the direction of where you place your hose from time to time. A good hose should be able to bend and coil allowing you to move without difficulty if you are doing it manually or if you are using a sprinkler changing its position should not be a task.
These are the major factors you should consider before you investing in a garden hose so as to get the best value for your money.

Sleep and Memory
A significant body of scientific research indicates that healthy sleep can have a positive, protective effect on memory.
Studies indicate that sleeping well helps protect the ability to acquire new memories. If you've ever tried to cram for a test while short on sleep, you've experienced the obstacles that sleep deprivation can have on memory acquisition. Research shows that even a brief lack of sleep can diminish the brain's capacity to form new memories as part of everyday learning.
Sleep also is important to the ability to recall memories. Research indicates that recall of both short- and long-term memory is impaired by lack of sleep. A sleep-deprived brain is less effective at memory retrieval, while staying well rested can help protect and improve this aspect of memory function.
There is another aspect of the memory process — memory consolidation — that actually occurs during sleep itself. Memory consolidation is the process in which the brain takes new knowledge and converts it to longer-term storage, ready for future recall. Memory consolidation that takes place during sleep not only secures memory for retrieval, but also appears to prepare the brain to accept new information in the next waking day.
Sleep affects different kinds of memory, including both declarative and procedural memories. Declarative memory involves memories related to facts and knowledge, as well as details about individual experiences. Research indicates sleep is critical to the making and storing of declarative memory. Studies also show sleep deprivation and sleep disorders can negatively affect declarative memory.
According to research, the importance of sleep to declarative memory formation exists from the earliest stages of life. Scientists studying memory processing in infants found that babies 6-12 months who took naps at least 30 minutes after learning new behaviors showed better recall than infants who did not sleep.
Procedural memories are task and skill-based memories tied to motor functions and sensory learning. Much of the basic knowledge we need to function on a daily basis — from typing at a computer to driving a car to taking a run at the gym — falls within the category of procedural memory. Procedural memories are often made through repetition and practice, and are recalled without conscious thought. According to research, a routine of high-quality, plentiful sleep is important to motor skill learning and procedural memory.
When you sleep well, you're making a long-term investment in the health of your memory as you age. Research strongly suggests that high-quality sleep during youth and middle age may help guard against age-related cognitive decline, including problems with memory, many years later. There is also a growing body of scientific evidence that suggests poor quality and insufficient sleep may increase the risks for Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Sleep is not the only factor in age-related memory decline, but it appears to be an important one.

OROMOCTO, N.B. — A Canadian soldier who lost his leg to an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan says improved training facilities for soldiers in New Brunswick could reduce deaths and prevent injuries to soldiers searching for the hidden menaces.
Master Corp. Mark Hoogendoorn was reacting to news Monday that the Department of National Defence will spend $36 million on new training facilities for identifying and disposing of improvised explosive devices and other explosive ordinance.
"When we're called back to do things live again, hopefully it will result in less casualties and less injuries in the future," he said.
Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan talks with soldiers after announcing investments in infrastructure for the 5th Canadian Division Support Base at CFB Gagetown in Oromocto, N.B. on Monday, June 27, 2016. (Photo: Andrew Vaughan/CP)
Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan made the announcement at Canadian Forces Base Gagetown in Oromocto, N.B.
Sajjan — who trained at the New Brunswick base and served in Afghanistan — said it is part of the federal government's commitment to ensure Canadian Armed Forces have the support they need, including safe and modern facilities in which to work and train.
"I know first-hand from my experience in Afghanistan that simulation training is critical to successfully combating these and other explosive devices," Sajjan said.
The $36 million will pay for new buildings to house the main training centre of the Canadian Forces school of engineering, and for upgrades to roads for field exercises.
Sajjan said work on the training facilities will start this summer and is expected to be completed by winter of 2017.
IEDs caused roughly 100 of Canadian deaths in Afghan war
About 100 of the Canadian deaths during the war in Afghanistan were the result of attacks that used IEDs.
Sajjan said he has the utmost respect for crews whose job it was to look for explosives.
"Imagine the driver — what the mindset is — when you're going down that route. They're trained and their job is to either find it or actually set it off. Think about the level of resilience that's needed in our men and women to do that," he said.
Hoogendoorn's accident occurred on July 31, 2010. Despite the loss of a leg and the many surgeries that followed, he's still in uniform and — with the help of a prosthetic leg — is eager to continue to look for explosives.
"I would still prefer me to be in that position than one of my friends. If I'm not there, someone else is going to be there. I like to think that I can do my job fairly well, so I'd prefer to be there myself instead of somebody else," he said.
'If that saved just one child's life...'
The 30-year-old soldier said the work he was able to do in Afghanistan is what compels him to continue.
"If that saved just one child's life, or one innocent person's life, for me that's extremely rewarding. It would be hard to find another career that would be able to compare to that," he said.
Sajjan also announced another $2.3 million for other infrastructure upgrades on the New Brunswick training base. They include upgrades to the asphalt, lighting and storm water collection system at the airfield on the base.
