Boomers Lead Demand for Hip and Knee Replacements
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons projects that by 2030, 3.48 million total knee replacements and 572,000 total hip replacements will be performed annually in the United States. In 2004, the last year for which the academy has released data, U.S. hospitals performed 478,000 total knee replacements and 234,000 total hip replacements.
The demand is driven by baby boomers who want to maintain active lifestyles. Advances in materials that make for longer-lasting implants mean more people are getting new joints at younger ages.
Older implants had a life expectancy of 10 to 15 years; newer ones are expected to last years longer.
In the 1970s, when doctors first started performing joint replacements, they generally wouldn't perform them on patients younger than 60, said Dr. Douglas Dennis, an orthopedic surgeon in Denver and spokesman for the national association.
Nowadays, because materials are more advanced, patients in the 40s …

History of Childbirth; English Voluntary Hospitals, 1750-1850; History of Pathology; Historical Theory; Literary Theory.
I am a historian of early-modern medicine.
My main area of research is the history of midwifery, focusing chiefly on English developments but situating these within a wider European frame; in this field I have published one monograph and is working on two others.
I am also interested in the long-term development of Western medicine, particularly in the role of anatomy - the remarkable process by which the study of the dead body came to play a foundational role in the understanding of the living patient; and exploring this theme has led him to work on the history of disease concepts.
I also have a long-standing interest in the historical epistemology, which has led me into the realm of literary theory.

Last Friday I published "Getting carded at Walmart". In that post I described Walmart's apparent new policies regarding loading Bluebird cards, buying money orders, and paying bills. In that post, I listed a number of 'tidbits" I had gathered, and I asked for readers to chime in with their own recent experiences. Here are the results:
$500 (and smaller) Bluebird loads are fine and do not require extra info.
You can load up to $1K to your Bluebird card without issue if you load $500 or less at a time, in separate transactions.
Bluebird (and GoBank) loads at automated Kiosks are not working at all even when the machines appear to be functioning.
FALSE. Many people have encountered broken or flakey Kiosks, but many also reported recent success with using Kiosks.
Some Walmart stores are no longer allowing loads at regular checkout lanes, but instead require customers to go to the customer service desk.
Many people reported success loading at registers, so it is unclear why it is sometimes not allowed. This may vary by store or by cashier.
Walmart Bill Pay transactions over $500 are also subjected to rigorous information demands.
Two people confirmed this, but one said he succeeded with a $2000 bill payment. This may vary by store.
I have yet to hear any reports about Money Order purchases. Anyone?
Most respondents said that they had no problem buying money orders, but there were a few reports of people "getting carded" when buying money orders. This may vary by store.
Why we care
Purchasing Visa or MasterCard gift cards can often be a great way to earn points, miles, or cash back. Often it is possible to buy $500 gift cards with only a $4.95 or $5.95 fee. And, if you buy at a store where your credit card earns bonus points, you can make a nice profit depending upon how highly you value your credit card rewards. The trick is figuring out how to use those gift cards once you've bought them. One great way has been to use them at Walmart as debit cards (see Gift Card PINs). At Walmart, debit cards (and, therefore, gift cards) can be used to load money to Bluebird / GoBank prepaid cards, to buy money orders, or to pay bills (including credit card bills). All of these options make it possible to earn lots of credit card rewards for very little cost.
Another approach many take is to get a debit card that earns miles or cash back. One example is the SunTrust Delta debit card that earns 1 mile per dollar. Such a debit card can be used at Walmart in all of the ways discussed above (reload Bluebird card, buy money orders, pay bills) in order to earn debit card rewards.
For those who go to Walmart just to reload their Bluebird (or GoBank) card, the new rules shouldn't be much trouble. Simply limit your loads to $500 per transaction. Complete multiple transactions if needed. For those who pay bills or buy money orders, though, the new rules could be a big problem if enforced.
A simpler option
Instead of buying gift cards and unloading them at Walmart, I think it is much easier to buy Vanilla Reload cards, load to Bluebird, and then use Bluebird to pay bills (or transfer money to your bank account). While reload cards aren't without their own issues, I find it to be much simpler and more reliable than the alternatives. Of course, you may not have easy access to stores that sell Vanilla Reload cards (and allow credit card purchases of them), so Walmart may be your best option anyway.

text: This afternoon I drove past a drugstore that advertised one hour photo. My second grade son read the sign and asked me why they would put that on the building. I explained the concept of having your photos developed in ONLY one hour. His response was, "but that's a long time." As I explained that it used to take a week and that one hour used to be fast, I was reminded that I am from a different generation. I don't guess they'll put that message on buildings much longer. He received a different message than I did from that sign. In my day we didn't have printers in our homes and we didn't know any better. He doesn't know the feeling of picking a package of prints and not knowing what was on the roll. Those were good times, too.

During the course of business many sales tax issues can come up. Below I've compiled a list of questions that will get you the general information you need to know about your state's sales tax laws.
Look for answers to the questions below on your state's website, the paperwork they sent you when you registered or give them a call and ask one of your state's employees. That's how to best get facts about your state's laws, not someone else's interpretation or opinion.
There are links to official state websites in this post that should help you find the answers to the questions below:
Links to Official Government Websites
Sales tax laws are different from state to state and the answers to the questions below vary widely.
There is only one law that applies to all states when it comes to collecting sales tax:
- You don't charge sales tax to buyers outside your business nexus. That is:
- 1. outside of the state you sell from,
2. outside of states you are registered in (if you are registered in more than just your home state) or
3. from states you don't have a business representative in.
- What does that mean?
- 1. Most sellers need to collect sales tax from buyers in their own state. Most states require you to register before you can collect sales tax, then collect only from in-state buyers unless 2 or 3 below applies to you.
2. If you are registered in a state other than the one you live in, you need to collect sales tax for that state too (like for doing an out of state craft show).
3. If you have a business nexus (see below) in another state you may need to register and/or collect sales tax there too, depending on that state's sales tax laws.
What's a nexus? The description varies a bit, but generally if you don't have a physical presence in a state (be it a place you ship from, a public storefront of your own, a representative who presents your items for sale in a state, do a craft show in a state), you generally don't have a business nexus there.
The questions…:
• Must I register to collect sales tax in my state?
You may think your business is too small or that you are just a hobby seller therefore you don't need to register to collect sales tax for your state. From what I've seen, that's probably not true. Many states require you register before you start selling, regardless as to whether or not you ever make a sale to someone in your state, make a sale at all or turn a profit, or whether or not you are a business or just an individual.
• Is there an amount of sales I can make before I am required to register?
Most states with sales tax require you to register straight away–rarely there's a "You can sell $XXX worth of goods before registering to collect sales tax" rule so you need to find out what your state's rules are for when registration is required.
Usually it's "Intend to make a sale? Register before you start selling whether you are a business or just an individual planning on selling to the public".
• Can I just include sales tax in my price?
Some states allow it, some don't, and some allow it so long as you mention tax is included. There may be other stipulations, but none I have heard of off-hand.
• Can I just pay the sales tax for my customers?
Some states allow it, some don't. Some allow it so long as you don't advertise it.
• Can I advertise that I pay sales tax for my customers?
Some states have specific laws about publicizing that you will pay sales tax for your customers.
• What rate do I charge?
There's two main types of sales tax for those of us in the mail-order/internet-sales business, you need to find out which of these applies in your state:
1. Origin-based sales tax: You charge the rate of where you sell from *to buyers your state*, just like when you purchase something in-person. When the package is shipped outside areas where you are obligated to collect sales tax (usually just your home state), you don't charge sales tax.
2. Destination-based sales tax: You charge the rate of tax at the address to which you mail the package. That's a bit of a hassle, but if that's what the state requires that's what you need to do. Here in NY, I must find out what county a buyer is in before I know what rate to apply.
There's also a hybrid–some states have both state & local taxes and they require sellers to only collect the local taxes when items are being shipped within their home region (which makes it a bit like destination based sales tax–but only for those in their own area). So if the buyer is in the seller's city or county, they collect state+city or state+county tax from that buyer, and only state sales tax from buyers in all other parts of their state.
• Are there different rates depending on the items or services I provide?
Some states have different rates for food, clothing, shoes, services… be sure to understand how they apply to your business.
• Do I collect sales tax on shipping?
In some states all shipping is taxed, in some only shipping of taxable goods (and the shipping might be partially taxable if only part of the order is taxable), in states the cost shipping isn't taxable but any amount over the actual cost of shipping is taxable (so if you have a handling fee it would be taxed, or if you just round up the amount that would be taxable (for example from $1.72 actual shipping rounded up to $2.00, 28 cents would be taxable).
• Must my receipts to customers specify the amount of sales tax the customer paid and/or state that sales tax is included in the purchase price?
Some states require that you show how much tax the customer has paid/you paid for the customer. If the customer doesn't know how much tax they paid, they won't know if "use tax" is due on their purchase. (Use tax is due on purchases that should have had tax collected by the seller but didn't. Many (most/all?) states with sales tax also have use tax which applies to internet and mail order purchases where the seller didn't collect sales tax, though many people think that purchases from the internet are sales tax-free.)

Supercross Fox Yeah bars
Supercross' Kris Fox had a big year in 2008, winning the NBL Super-X #1, and he was a member of the USA Olympic Long Team. While things seemed to have slowed down for him on the racing side of things, for the moment, he's still making a big impact and it's going viral. Kris and Bill from Supercross put their heads together and came up with the Fox Yeah! bars and they are one of the hottest items in BMX racing right now.
They are a standard 8 inch rise bar and are 28 inches wide, it's the 6 degrees of back sweep and 2 degrees of up sweep that set them apart from other bars.
For handlebars 6 degrees of back sweep feels very "flat" and isn't for everyone. What some people find comfortable others might hate, bike setup and handlebars in particular are very personal. It's surprising that the Fox Yeah Bars have half the back sweep of bars like the popular S&M Race or Slams but yet to feel them for yourself the bend still feels natural. It's been said that you can generate more power out of a flatter bar. What's truly amazing is to hear how quickly these things sell out.
We had handy 30+ rider Simon Trewin check them out for us. You might remember it was Simon who also did the Supercross SLT fork review. We invited him back to help us out with this one too because his feedback is always honest and to the point.
His response to the Fox Yeah bars went like this
- After receiving the bars "100 Grams lighter than the old bars, that's a good start"
- After putting them on his bike "I put the bars on and they feel awesome! Like riding an improved Redline, does that make it a Supercross?"
- After the first track session "They feel wider than my old bars, maybe it's the 6 degrees of back sweep instead of the 12 of the old ones. I'm happy Jan. It feels like you can get more power out of them.
When we asked Supercross if they will be making a cruiser handlebar to match they said that Kris isn't a fan of cruisers, and there wasn't any plans of making a cruiser bar with the same bends any time soon.
The Fox Yeah bars are made from full seamless heat treated cro-mo tubing, which makes them stiff and strong, and they weigh in at 785 grams. They come in Gloss Black, Matt Black, Gloss White, Clear Raw, and Highlighter Yellow.
|Value for money:
- Light weight and strong bars that a built to last
- Amongst the lightest of the pro size bars
- Stiff, strong and light, what more could you ask for from a set of bars?
- Very clean finish in both the paint and the welds
Supercross BMX is imported in Australia by The Compound Australia have your local bike shop contact email@example.com for details.

- Learn new skills. One of my former colleagues was fond of the phrase, "if you're not moving forward, you're falling behind." You'll quickly find that this rings true in the workplace. Once you've started your new position, identify and acquire some additional skills that will be helpful to advance your career. These skills might directly relate to your field (proficiency in specific computer programs, language fluency, etc.) or could be more general (project management, public speaking, etc.).
- Keep in touch with your alma mater. Become an active member of an alumni chapter, participate in events, and share your knowledge and experiences with current students who are about to embark on a new career journey.

Florin Pavel
47 years old and married to Vasilica
Has: three daughters: Gabriela (21), Mihaela (16) and Mirela (9)
Chooses: the JSS as his favourite Damen ship
"When I am inspired, I immediately start writing, no matter what time of day it is or where I happen to be. Poetry is a medicine for me: it was all that kept me going when I was temporarily working in Israel 20 years ago, when I was all alone and missing my family. Through my poetry, I try to transform something ugly into something beautiful; life may not always be easy, but is too short to be unhappy. I no longer publish my poems anonymously, for which I'm mostly grateful to Damen.
Tuesday, 12 July 1983, was my very first day at the yard in Galati, where I started out as a rigger. I had never before thought of a career in shipbuilding; I'm from a tiny village – Ivanesti – and I had never been in a real city before, let alone a huge shipyard. It was really hard at first – being without my parents and my eleven brothers and sisters – but I've never regretted my choice to leave. In the nineties, I starting working as a crane operator, and I am still travelling back and forth to the shipyard every day.
The biggest challenges I faced in that job were high winds, storms, and learning to coordinate my activities with those of my colleagues. I get along well with my colleagues – they are – as we say in Romania – like the five fingers of a hand: all different but strongest when they work together. The helping hand you can count on. If one of them is tired or troubled, I try to cheer him up using humour. I might ask if we can see Moscow if we're sitting in the cabin of the crane, or pretend that we're having a power failure.
On my days off, I go to church, read the Bible, and help my family and friends with anything they need. If I have time leftover, I like playing football or table football – and I win a lot because when I was a kid I was unbeatable on the football pitch! Afterwards, I enjoy a good meal with my wife and daughters – preferably a bean casserole, tripe soup or Russian salad – and tell stories from my youth, write, or share a joke. For me there's no real difference between a day off and a day I work – I enjoy them both equally."

All square between Ballyoan and The Heath after masterclass from Tierney
A stunning performance from Ballyroan Abbey's MJ Tierney light up this SFC clash on Sunday night, as the teams must do it all again this Wednesday night.
Football Laois SFC Round 1
The Heath 1-15
Ballyroan Abbey 1-15
Tierney finished with a personal tally of 1-9, with his goal in the 42nd minute as good as you could hope to see anywhere. Picking the ball up 30 yards out, he took a few steps before rifling a shot into the top corner of the net.
It took everybody bar Tierney himself by surprise, and it sparked a comeback for Ballyroan Abbey, who looked to be heading for the exit door up to that point.
The Heath were leading 1-12 to 0-9 and seemed to be in control of the game, but Tierney's goal saw Ballyroan Abbey go on a run of 1-4 to 0-1 to get back on level terms.
The teams couldn't be separated in the final ten minutes, as The Heath twice went in front only to see Ballyroan Abbey draw level on both occasions.
It sets things up nicely for the replay, where The Heath will have to come up with a plan to stifle Tierney's influence. He was the stand out player on the field here, with some of his scores in the second half, aside from the goal, out of the top drawer.
Overall, however, the game itself was a little disappointing, with a surprising lack of atmosphere given the history between the two clubs. It was played in near silence at times until the final 15 minutes or so.
It took over six minutes for the game's first score to be registered, with Evin Keane opening the scoring for The Heath. Tierney pointed twice for Ballyroan Abbey either side of a Colin Nestor effort for The Heath to leave the sides level at 0-2 each after ten minutes.
The Heath then seemed to take control of the game, rattling off five points in a row. Chris Bergin was at the heart of that run, scoring four of those five points, starting with a free. He added another from play before Eoin Delaney fired over from close range, with Bergin hitting the target twice more to put The Heath 0-7 to 0-2 to the good.
Padraig McMahon and Evin Keane traded pointed before Ballyroan Abbey hit three on the spin to get back in contention, Ciaran Keegan, Tierney and McMahon all on target. It was Keane once again who replied for The Heath, and while Tierney popped over another free, The Heath would finish the half strongly.
Tony Connolly was hauled down as he raced through on goal to earn a penalty, and Chris Bergin slotted it into the bottom left corner, despite Gary Scully getting fingertips to it. Tierney slotted over a free at the other end, and The Heath led by four at half time, 1-9 to 0-8.
The second half saw The Heath start brightly, with Eoin Delaney squeezing a shot over the bar from a tight angle and Chris Bergin tapping over a free. Ballyroan Abbey were in on goal four minutes later, but Jamie Whelan's effort flew over the bar.
When Tony Connolly restored The Heath's six point lead a couple of minutes later, it looked like they were on control of proceedings, but then Tierney's moment of magic turned the game on its head.
The score sent belief racing through Ballyroan Abbey, and Ciaran Keehan added a point moments later before Tierney hit three in six minutes to leave the teams level going into the last ten minutes.
The Heath twice went ahead in those closing stages, with Chris Bergin on target from frees on both occasions. Ballyroan Abbey were not to be outdone, however, and first Tierney and then Mark McDonald hit the target to ensure the teams would have to do it all over again.
Scorers: Chris Bergin 1-7 (1-0 penalty, 0-4 frees), Evin Keane 0-4, Eoin Delaney 0-2, Tony Connolly, Colin Nestor 0-1 each.
Team: Joe Walshe; Michael Lenihan, Colin Nestor, Alan Whelan; Mark Dowling, Denis Booth, Aidan Bergin; Shane Carroll, Ciaran Booth; Robbie Dowling, Chris Bergin, Tony Connolly; Brian Ging, Eoin Delaney, Evin Keane. Subs: Jimmy Nerney for Carroll (half time), Cathal Whelan for M Dowling (45 mins)
Scorers: MJ Tierney 1-9 (0-5 frees, 0-1 45), Padraig McMahon, Ciaran Keegan 0-2 each, Mark McDonald, Jamie Whelan 0-1 each

Disko Bay and South Greenland (hike and sail) | 10-14 days
These two voyages sail in stages from Aasiatt to Kangerlussuaq and then to Narsarsuaq and offer longer hiking opportunities. The last voyage of the season in early October covers the southern tip of Greenland and there will be good chances to see the Aurora Borealis.
Ship: Rembrandt Van Rijn
When: 16-25 September 2015
23 September – 6 October 2015
Guide price:From £3,590 – £4,815 per person based on twin cabin (private facilities)
Fiona's travel tipsWHAT TO WEAR: Dress in layers with a wind and waterproof outer layer. Fleeces are great underneath. It can still be cold sailing in the middle of summer so a hat, scarf and gloves are sensible if you feel the cold.
BRING WITH YOU: Insect repellent and antihistamine as mosquitoes are around in summer.
Clients' comments
"Just a brief note to say thank you for your efforts. The travel arrangements went very smoothly. My cabin was midships on the lowest deck, and was exactly where I would have chosen for myself. The first two days were the roughest weather I have ever encountered, with winds 45-50 knots. There were only about twenty other passengers in the dining room with me (out of 106), during that time! Very congenial company on board. Plenty of activity, usually two shore trips per day, with choices of charging and grades between, right down to a gentle saunter."
"Ship was very comfortable, lovely food, waiters and cabin stewards did a grand job. Good selection of talks and entertainment. It was a privilege to be welcomed into the Inuit and Newfoundland communities. A unique, once in a lifetime experience that I'll look back on with great pleasure."
Christine Lord, Wild Labrador and Greenland, September 2011
"The holiday was fantastic. Favourite aspects were the wonder of the Scoresby Sund fjord under clear blue skies, the northern lights and the icebergs. In Iceland the bus drivers, both male and female, were all very courteous. The B&B was excellent, very clean and friendly staff. I chose you as you offered en route accommodation and return flights – definitely a point in your favour."
Sandy Lawson, Scoresby Sund, September 2011
"Pre-departure the service was very helpful and friendly. The whole trip was wonderful and friendly and everything went like clockwork. We enjoyed it all."Pat Gellion and Margaret Moore, Scoresby Sund (Professor Molchanov)
"Thank you for arranging our trip to the Arctic. We found Fiona to be extremely helpful and very knowledgeable about the destination. We had a fantastic time and really enjoyed the Arctic experience. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to friends and would certainly use Arcturus again."
Gillian and Neville Ham, Spitsbergen and NE Greenland
"I had a splendid holiday, I liked the Polar Star very much. Nansen Fjord was superb, at last we had sunshine. That night there was a good display of the aurora, the first time I had seen it. I had never been to the Westmann Islands and I found the harbour at Heimaey delightful. The arrangements you made for me were very good and I recommend Arcturus to all."
Elizabeth Lonkhurst, Steam to Ice (Polar Star)

Oscars 2013: How Did Seth MacFarlane Do?
The Oscars had a lot riding on Seth MacFarlane this year, banking on the "Family Guy" creator to boost lagging ratings and draw in a younger audience. In that, he succeeded; the awards show saw a 12% jump in ratings from last year's telecast. His overall performance as host, on the other hand, is a mixed bag.
We all know MacFarlane is controversial, but almost annoyingly so. He works so hard to be politically incorrect that it comes across as desperate...too desperate. In fact, when he wasn't trying to be funny is when the comedic magic happened. At times he went too far, and at other times he didn't go far enough. To be fair, he did tiptoe enough to be a decent emcee and not get slammed by the Academy—a good career move on his part.
He was funny enough; he made the expected "Gigli" joke about Ben Affleck. The William Shatner Captain Kirk bit was entertaining and his musical performances were surprisingly good for someone who, while a producer and creator as well a voice-over extraordinaire, isn't necessarily a live performer. Who knew MacFarlane could actually sing? His closing musical number for the "losers" of the night with Kristin Chenoweth was a good end to the broadcast.
But the best part of his hosting gig was bringing out, in real time, digital teddy bear Ted - the namesake of his summer 2012 popular comedy. While (according to the Hollywood Reporter) he ticked off the Anti-Defamation League for what they say perpetuated Jewish stereotypes, his jokes about the Jews running Hollywood were inoffensive and run-of-the-mill enough to have the audience laughing unapologetically.
But then there was the Rihanna-Chris Brown joke. When talking about "Django Unchained," MacFarlane referenced the infamous pair, saying, "Django is a movie where a woman is subjected to violence, or as we call it, a Chris Brown and Rihanna date movie." Too far? Naturally, the audience awkwardly gasped, and it looked painful for the emcee.
Some other cringe-worthy humor and an awkward audience response came in the form of his presidential joke in honor of Daniel Day Lewis's portrayal in "Lincoln." "I would argue that the person who got most into Abraham Lincoln's head was John Wilkes Booth," said the "Ted" creator.
Before the Oscars even began, MacFarlane expected the mass media criticism of his performance, telling Entertainment Weekly, "It's the time commitment, I just don't think I could do it again. It will have been almost six months that I'm working on this. And I'm still going to get savaged in the press."

Congratulations, your mixtape is finished! You've created a list of tracks you are proud of, your sound is polished and you're ready to get your work out to the public! But wait, before you take to Twitter to spam your feed or flood your friend's Facebook timelines, take a step back to think about your promotion strategy.
Proper branding and promotion of a mixtape are often what stands between an artist that gets noticed and one that fades into obscurity. The market is over saturated with musicians who have no idea how to get people to listen to their music once their mixtape is finished.
But you're different! You understand the importance of:
In this case, you are your own brand and you are going to use it to sell your music. Your brand should be streamlined and have continuity through your social media, shows, music, promotions and album art. The best brands create a personality that other people want to be attached to.
Anything your name is connected to should be consistent with your brand. It's not about being fake; it's about being upfront and polished about who you are as an artist. When people hear your name, music or see your album art, they should understand what you represent.
It's important to have attractive promo materials and branding tools. If you're scribbling the URL to your music on poster board, people will assume you put the same effort into your mixtape.
Mixtape Covers
Think of your favorite albums, that art is iconic. The best way to do this is to keep the theme of your album in mind, what is it about? What are you about as a musician?
You don't have to be an artist to create something simple and memorable. This is your chance to make a first impression for your brand, make sure it represents your music and draws people in. Unattractive covers will be associated with bad music, if your presentation looks sloppy, people will assume your music is the same way– don't make a list like this.
Use a template to design your mixtape cover to make sure your artwork fits and none of the important details are left off.
There is no easier way to get your music directly into someone's hands. You can ask people to find you on Soundcloud or iTunes, but a CD eliminates the possibility that they'll forget your name by the time they get to a computer. Your CD – completely branded and decked out with your album art and personal touches – is a tangible reminder of you and your music.
Business Cards
Having something tangible to give people is the easiest way to get your name in the right hands, literally.
What should your business card look like?
This card has all of the important information front and center. His website and contact are easy to read and the back of the card has an awesome design. This card has personality and shows the vibe of his brand through the design.
For more about why it pays to have good Business Cards, check out our post, 5 Reasons to Avoid Cheap Business Cards.
Now that you have a good idea of who you are as a brand and how you want to present your music, it's time to think about promoting your mixtape!
First, you'll want to set a release date that gives you time to promote. Get your music to local DJs and to other places potential fans could hang out: colleges, bars, clubs. Put time into building your local fan base, they are the easiest to reach and most likely to come out for shows.
Flyers are an inexpensive and efficient way to promote your music. Use them to spread the word about a show, your newest single, or your whole mixtape.
Posters are also inexpensive and give you a larger canvas to show off your brand than flyers. They are excellent for both promotion and merch.
Create merch. Once you get a gig, make sure you have at least a few CDs and t-shirts to sell to people who enjoyed your show. Have business cards to give fans, pointing them to where they can find more of your music. They came to your show and liked your music, these are the people who will want your merch. If you're interested in more information about merch, check out our blog: Merch That Works.
Promotion is just as important as creating your music. By creating an effective marketing plan, you are more likely to get noticed by A&R and Investors because they see you as a business they can invest in rather than another kid with a mixtape. Branding yourself well and using professional looking promo material shows you are serious about your music and establishing yourself as an artist.
Contact us with any questions you have about our media packages for musicians and what we can do to help you get started. Jakprints was started to help musicians create quality merch and promotional materials quickly and for an affordable price and we can't wait to work with you!

text: Screws tighten on Aussie TV 5:00 AM PDT 8/28/2007 by Pip Bulbeck , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Empty Australian Communications Minister Helen Coonan is laying down the law with Aussie broadcasters, saying that they must prevent "the demeaning or exploitative" portrayal of "vulnerable competitors" on such reality TV shows as "Big Brother." Coonan on Friday called for a tightening of industry codes of practice in the wake of the uproar instigated last year over the now-infamous "turkey slapping" incident on Network Ten's "Big Brother" offshoot "Big Brother Adults Only." The incident, which involved one contestant using his penis to slap the face of a female contestant, led to allegations of sexual harassment, the ejection of two castmates from the program and the show's cancellation this year. It also triggered two investigations by broadcast regulator the Australian Communications and Media Authority. Coonan also called for a streamlining of ACMA investigation processes arising from any community complaints for mature adult, or MA-rated, reality programs. ACMA's latest investigation into reality television found that the Commercial Television Industry Code of Practice was "providing appropriate community safeguards for reality television on free-to-air TV." But Coonan said that "a number of matters … require action," including tightening the MA classification guidelines defining "sexual references" at the MA level and the consideration of "cumulative intensity" as an element in the MA classification process. In addition, broadcasters will have to im-prove the way they handle complaints. Industry body Free TV Australia Ltd. will provide ACMA with a monthly report on complaints, containing sufficient detail to enable ACMA to analyze trends on an ongoing and timely basis. The ACMA investigation found that "many people are concerned about the way in which vulnerable contestants can be exploited in a reality show context for entertainment purposes," Coonan said. "Contestant welfare is paramount in all Channel Ten programs. We take comprehensive steps to protect all participants and reject any suggestion of exploitation," Ten said in a statement responding to Coonan's call for action.

Timbers 2 - 0 D.C. United
Portland doubles up on D.C. UnitedMay 26, 2013 - 1:02 AM Washington, D.C. (Sports Network) - The Portland Timbers and D.C. United continued on their respective paths as the Timbers claimed a 2-0 victory at RFK Stadium to extend their unbeaten streak to 11 games.
United, meanwhile, is winless in its last 10 contests, and has earned just one point during that stretch.
Portland seized the advantage in the 21st minute from a throw in as Frederic Piquionne collected the ball in midfield and dribbled toward the penalty area.
He got to the edge of the box and laid a ball off for Rodney Wallace, who beat goalkeeper Bill Hamid with a shot from 10 yards at his near post.
The home side had a decent opportunity in the 51st minute when Kyle Porter arrived at the back post and headed just wide of the net.
But the Timbers doubled their advantage six minutes later with Ryan Johnson playing a nice ball over the top of the D.C. defense to Darlington Nagbe, who brought it down and drove a shot underneath Hamid.
The night was summed up for United in the 65th as Chris Pontius was left alone in front of goal, but he blazed a shot over the net from 10 yards.

Crimes Under Flags of Convenience
Crimes Under Flags of Convenience
SINGAPORE - The recent capture of a North Korean freighter attempting to smuggle heroin worth $50 million into Australia has exposed yet again a fatally weak link in the regulation of global shipping. At a time when North Korea's nuclear ambition is causing world-wide concern, this fresh discovery is prompting the United States to consider working with like-minded nations to remedy the weakness. The strategy would be to scour the seas and interdict any North Korean-owned vessel suspected of trying to export dangerous materials to rogue states and terrorist groups.
The impounding of the 4,000-tonne Pong Su in Australia and the detention of its North Korean crew of 30 until they appear in court on August 12 is the latest of a long series of abuses involving ships sailing under a "flag of convenience" - the flag of a nation other than the home state. The Pong Su was registered in the small South Pacific island-nation of Tuvalu. The abuse of this practice has grown in recent years with the global recession and pressures to cut freight cost.
The problem facing the U.S. and other countries determined to stop weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them from getting into the hands of unfriendly states and terrorist organizations is that international shipping is vast and unevenly regulated. For a small fee, seagoing vessels owned by North Korea or other interests with criminal or terrorist aims can easily find the flag of another state under which to operate.
The North Korean freighter Sosun that was found to be carrying 15 scud missiles, conventional warheads and rocket propellant under a cargo of cement after it was stopped last December by U.S. and Spanish naval vessels in the Arabian Sea was registered in Cambodia. The Sosun was searched but then allowed to proceed to its destination in Yemen, an ally of the U.S. in the fight against terrorism.
The seizure of the Pong Su is the latest evidence of state-organized maritime smuggling of drugs and arms by North Korea to help pay for its nuclear and missile development program, prop up the embattled regime of Kim Jong-il, and prevent the derelict North Korean economy from completely collapsing.
Hawks in the Bush administration are arguing that the U.S. should seek to cordon off North Korean exports of drugs, missiles, and weapons of mass destruction, either through an economic embargo or by interdicting North Korean ships at sea.
Under international law, every ship must sail under the flag of a sovereign state to gain the protection of a government while on the high seas. The rules are also supposed to ensure that safety and other standards are maintained.
But to cut costs or evade scrutiny, thousands of ship owners now register under foreign flags where fees, taxes, regulations, and laws protecting seafarers are often minimal or non-existent.
As global trade shrinks because of the economic downturn, shippers demand lower freight costs. Some ship owners, often the least scrupulous with the oldest vessels, respond by registering wherever it is cheapest to do so.
"Globalization has helped fuel this rush to the bottom," said David Cockroft, General Secretary of the International Transport Workers' Federation. "In an increasingly fierce competitive shipping market, each new flag of convenience is forced to promote itself by offering the lowest possible fees and the minimum regulation."
At least 40 states around the world, most of them developing countries, sanction open registers, or flags of convenience, as a way of making money. Some don't even have access to the sea. Land-locked Mongolia, for example, opened a register last March in Singapore, one of the world's busiest seaports.
The flag of convenience registers compete for business by offering quick and cheap ship registration, often on-line at the click of a button with few questions asked.
Nik Winchester, an analyst in the Seafarers' International Research Centre at Cardiff University in Wales, and a colleague spent three years researching and analyzing the regulatory capacity of 37 states that offer shipping flags, including national flags and open registers. Tuvalu was not among them. Nor was Mongolia.
But their flag state audit released earlier this year rated Cambodia and St Vincent and the Grenadines has having a "poor" capacity to regulate ships on their registers. It concluded that Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia, Equatorial Guinea, Honduras, Lebanon, Liberia, Malta, the Marshall Islands, Panama and Vanuatu had only a "modest" regulatory capacity.
"A large number of open registers have failed to produce adequate regulatory regimes that ensure the safe operation of vessels, safeguard labor standards and ensure the transparency of vessel ownership," Winchester said.
The ITF says that in 2001, 63% of all reported ship losses at sea, measured by tonnage, were accounted for by just 13 flag of convenience registers and that the five worst performers were Panama, Cyprus, St. Vincent, Cambodia and Malta.
Cockroft said that since the terrorist attacks on the U.S. in September 2001, concerns had increased that terrorist organizations can own and operate ships in the flag of convenience system with impunity. "Arms smuggling, the ability to conceal large sums of money, trafficking in goods and people, and other illegal activities can also thrive in the unregulated havens which the flag of convenience system provides," he added.
A Congressional panel in Washington last year held hearings on open registers amid reports that the U.S. and NATO countries were hunting up to 23 ships believed to be controlled by Al-Qaeda and operating under flags of convenience. There is also concern that a weapon of mass destruction could be smuggled by terrorists into the U.S. or another target nation via ship as a result of lax rules and checks.
Rohan Gunaratna, a terrorism expert at Singapore's Institute for Defense and Strategic Studies, said that transparent ship ownership was a very important issue because 95 percent of the world's trade goes by ship. "Many terrorist organizations have been known to use vessels registered in the 'HonPaLib' countries," he said, referring to Honduras, Panama and Liberia.
The Cambodian register has been among the most notorious flag of convenience operations in recent years - so notorious that the government in Phnom Penh - under pressure from the U.S. and the European Union - decided to terminate its contract last September after a series of scandals involving some of the more than 1,600 Cambodian-flagged ships.
In June, 2002, French commandos boarded the Cambodian-registered freighter Winner in international waters in the Atlantic amid an exchange of gunfire that injured one of the 12 crew members. The troops seized more than one tonne of Colombian cocaine worth well over $100 million in a cargo that was registered as scrap iron destined for Bilbao in Spain. Officials said that the raid was the result of 15-months of surveillance involving U.S., French, Spanish and Greek authorities.
In November, 2001, Irish customs officers found 20 million smuggled cigarettes on the Maria M, a Cambodian-registered freighter that arrived in Estonia supposedly carrying a cargo of timber. The cigarettes, concealed in the center of bales of timber, were liable to tax amounting to about three million Irish pounds. They were the largest haul of smuggled tobacco ever seized in Ireland.
Anti-terrorist officials said that the operation was organized by criminals with links to the Real IRA, a terrorist faction opposed the peace accord in Northern Ireland agreed to by the mainstream IRA, the Irish Republican Army.
South Korean and U.S. intelligence agencies had been concerned about an official North Korean connection to the Cambodia Shipping Corp., the company appointed by the Cambodian government in 1994 as the exclusive agent to register ships under the Cambodian flag. The connection was through a senior North Korean diplomat who was stationed for many years in Phnom Penh and was one of the founding investors in the company.
Intelligence agencies had noted the inclusion of North Korean vessels among ships that flew the Cambodian flag. A South Korean analyst said that such ships were suspected of smuggling North Korean ballistic missiles and components to Pakistan, Iran and Iraq.

One month ago, the nordic ski world participated in an international day of action in conjunction with 350.org. Some elite racers sponsored events of their own, while numerous others participated in the assorted events of the day. Couple this with the creation of the Craftsbury Green Racing Project last spring and there seems to be mounting evidence of a push for elite nordic ski racers to become more environmentally conscious. Nordic ski racers are evidently a very enlightened group. It is a hugely positive sign that we are engaged in a discussion over how best to combat climate change, instead of debating whether or not climate change is result of human actions. I honestly cannot envision this sort of discussion taking place in many other sports. However, as 350.org and the Green Racing Project help the environmental movement gain traction it is important that nordic ski racing, and all sports, not be given the opportunity to opt out of becoming greener.
Most top-level racers would probably agree that it is essential that climate change be addressed to ensure future winters of skiing. I am also sure that many elite racers have already made changes that will help to lessen the scope of climate change. Yet, my point is simply that as nordic racers make changes outside of racing which benefit the planet, the sport itself cannot be considered off-limits. As people shift from gas-guzzling SUVs to hybrid, energy efficient cars and from a diet produced in factory farms and laboratories to one produced on organic farms and sold locally, shifts must also be made in sports. Change is never easy, nor is it free of sacrifice; in this car crazy culture, many Americans struggle to bring themselves to trade in their large vehicles and I imagine it would be difficult for an elite racer to part with a pair of fast race skis. For the safeguarding of our planet, however, change is a must.
Now, I do not want to see high-level ski racing disappear. I do not want for people to have to choose between an Olympic dream and the dream of a cleaner planet. Instead, I would like to see a future in which the two dreams coexist. I see an opportunity for nordic ski racing to assume a leadership role. The Green Racing Project is a 'green' team, perhaps the first 'green' team in all sports, but let's go a step further and make nordic skiing the first 'green' sport. We've set limits on pollution allowed by energy producers, why not a cap on the pairs of skis allowed to each competitor? Sure, manufacturers would complain, but the sport is about the athletes, not the equipment. We've set goals for more fuel-efficient cars, why not set goals for more environmentally friendly waxes? If the wax companies can continually produce faster waxes, surely they can be equally innovative when it comes to making environmentally safe waxes. We encourage others to car pool and take mass-transportation whenever possible, why not a ski train to transport athletes and coaches to the various World Cup events around Europe? One train would certainly have a smaller carbon footprint than the various buses, planes and private jets now in use. Additionally, it might also be necessary to question whether it is environmentally sustainable to hold nordic skiing events in cities like Dusseldorf, Prague or even Rome. The carbon footprint of these events cannot be small, especially when the snow must be trucked into the city. Perhaps nordic skiing should stay in areas that have consistent natural snow. Changes like these are, of course, top down mandates, and just as governments have been slow to implement climate change legislation, I would be surprised were any of these ideas to be acted on with any sort of speed. That said, agitation from below tends to cause governing bodies to pick up their pace. A few winters without snow might also do the trick.
I also know there are plenty of individual actions that could be taken by each and every elite racer. I would encourage FasterSkier, the Green Racing Project, and anybody else to brainstorm and publicize ways to make the sport greener. From homegrown snacks to replace individually wrapped bars, to ways to recycle race skis, there must be plenty of ideas floating around out there. As the nordic skiing community works to reverse climate change, let's not turn off that mind set when we clip into our skis. The athletes and the sport can and should become greener.

In a nod to the great Seinfeld tradition, we at T2 will start celebrating the great tradition of the "Airing of Grievances". If you're not familiar with Seinfeld, then stop reading this blog and binge watch the entire series. The rest of you will know that the Airing of Grievances an opportunity to lash out and yell at those who have disappointed us. Here's the players who left us frustrated after their performances in Week 4.
Cam Newton
Seriously Cam? You scored 30 points in the first 3 weeks of the season…you know those weeks I decided to believe in you. Now, once I finally give up and put you on my bench you score 32 points?? My frustration stems from a season high 316 passing yards and a season high 3 TD passes. Oh yeah AND you decided you remembered how to rush the ball again, totaling 44 yards and a rushing TD. I just don't know what to make of you man.
JuJu Smith-Schuster
JuJu, buddy, it's really hard for me to be angry at you. You have by far the best name in the NFL, however I'm going to need you to not take TDs away from players with actual fantasy value. I started both Bryant (7 points, PPR) and Brown (3 points, Standard) and I could've used those 6 points you nabbed from them. To put it simply it's not you, it's me…but seriously cut it out.
Demaryius Thomas & Golden Tate
I have the both of you on my same fantasy roster, so I'll make this a joint rant. You can't just go all season and act like consistent, solid options and then decide to both crap out on me at the same time. Thomas, one reception, really? One, for 11 yards!? Tate, you looked anything but Golden yourself; only 3 receptions for an impressive 29 yards? C'mon now you two, I know in real life you pay absolutely no attention to each other, but when it comes to my fantasy team I'm going to need you to start thinking of me.
All of the RBs in my Standard League
Sometimes you're just mad at the situation. We've all got one of these; the roster that just keeps disappointing week after week. The disappointment this week started with you, Tarik Cohen, who I started in my flex; I knew it was risky to start you in a standard league but I figured you could muster more than 4 measly points. To make matters worse, I was actually right to start Cohen in my flex because the greatest disappointment of them all, yeah I'm talking about you Crowell, only managed to get 2 points. I'm not angry at you, Dalvin Cook, I know that injury isn't your fault but it does make it so that Frank Gore is the best healthy RB on my roster…

Sugar's Melting Point Too Low
Gummy worms are composed mostly of sugar (or, more specifically, gelatin, glucose syrup and sugar), which has a melting point of 320 to 367 degrees Fahrenheit. Because brownies are typically baked at 350 degrees for around 40 minutes, there is no way a gummy worm would retain its shape or form when baked inside the brownie mix.
Add Them Later
If you are insistent on trying to make brownies with gummy worms in them, it is best to add the gummy worms at the last possible second as the brownies begin to solidify, thus not subjecting the worms to the full 40 minutes of baking time. However, sugar's melting point is so low that the gummy worms still will not totally retain their shape. Moreover, adding gummy worms at this point in the baking process will give the brownies a lumpy, misshapen appearance.
Bottom Line
Though gummy worms make great decorations for the top of prebaked desserts, there is no way to bake gummy worms into brownies without the gummy worms' losing their shape and melting.

In Ruth Rendell's 1988 London mystery House of Stairs , the narrator suggests a startling sea change in the world of Huntington's disease (HD). "The newspapers and television and magazines have been full of Huntington's lately," she observes. "Huntington's has become a fashionable disease, displacing multiple sclerosis and even schizophrenia in the public's curiosity." [1]. She refers, no doubt, to the publicity surrounding the discovery of a genetic marker for HD in 1983 and the beginning of presymptomatic genetic testing three years later [2]. The start of the Human Genome Project in 1990 and the identification of the expanded Huntingtin gene in 1993 drew further attention to HD [3]. Considering that many people get their medical information from popular culture, it is useful to consider howHDhas been portrayed on television and also in novels such as House of Stairs [4]. Why did the disease suddenly start to appear at this time when it was largely absent before? What aspects were emphasized? How accurate were fictional and dramatic portrayals? What societal attitudes toward the disease were revealed? How did presentations of HD differ from those of other neurological, psychiatric, and/or genetic disorders? Did representations change over time as biomedical knowledge of HD advanced? Prior to the 1980s, characters with HD or at risk rarely appeared in fiction or in television dramas.

I was very excited for this event as most of the races suited the endurance fitness I have been working on, as well as fast pace sprinting. I also have never participated in this event before as it is only raced from the U19 level, so the day was a huge learning curve. I am extremely thankful I had the opportunity to represent Auckland in this event, there is no training or racing which is quite as hard as national events. These races extend me as an athlete and help improve my performance.
Throughout the day I picked up a 2nd place in the scratch race, 3rd in the tempo race after breaking away with team mate Georgia Danford for 6 laps. 5th in the elimination race, and finally 3rd in the points race. I must admit the points race was one of the hardest track races I had ever done, which made finishing up with 3rd place overall and a bronze medal, even sweeter.
Without the support from my parents, and Frequency Projects I could never been able to make it down to Cambridge for the Omnium National Champs. I am always thankful for everything they put into my cycling which in turn makes things much easier and better for me. Also a huge thanks to my coach Paul Leitch for all the work he puts into my program and training sessions in order to ensure my legs are race ready.

Hey all-
So, this post is for my fellow bloggers out there. I know a lot of us struggle to get a decent number of readers, and there's really no point in writing anything if you're not gonna be famous for it. With this in mind, I wanted to try out a new strategy for gaining internet popularity:
Now, to be honest, I wasn't sure how far I wanted to go with trying to hypnotize people into reading my blog. As of right now, I've used five different methods, and none of them have worked. Here's what I've tried so far:
1. Waving a pendulum in front of my monitor
I don't know what I expected with this first method. My webcam wasn't on, and I had no intention of recording the pendulum at all. I was just swinging it in front of my computer and hoping people would somehow be hypnotized by it. I was confused when my blog didn't start getting thousands of pageviews from entranced readers, so I thought the pendulum might've been broken. I started closely inspecting it for signs of damage as it was waving.
I made the mistake of looking at the pendulum for too long.
According to my phone calendar, four days had passed before I woke up from my trance. I still have no idea what I was doing in Iceland during that time, but the plane tickets and hotel room reservations I bought were very expensive. Overall, my hypnosis-induced Icelandic vacation cost me about $1600, and I still have no memory of what happened during those four days.
However, despite that bizarre incident, I remained undeterred. I really wanted to get more people to read my blog.
2. Adding a series of flashing lights to my site's home page
I saw this on a TV show once, so I was pretty sure it would work. I managed to figure out my website's customization features enough to get it to emit flashes whenever someone went to the home page. There were a few minor flaws with this method – since people would already be reading my blog when the flashes started, I wasn't really hypnotizing them into doing anything they weren't already doing.
In practice, the flashes ended up being more annoying than effective.
Also, I kept making the mistake of looking at the flashes for too long.
This happened several times before I was able to turn them off. At one point, I discovered that I was covered in bruises, so I think I got into a fight with someone while I was hypnotized. To all of my Canadian readers: If you were the person I got into a fight with… I'm sorry. Also, you're very good at fistfighting. Those bruises haven't gone away yet.
3. Using pheromone sprays in online advertisements
Obtaining pheromone sprays powerful enough to compel people to read my blog was tricky, for a number of reasons. For one thing, human pheromones don't work like that. For another thing, online advertisements don't work like that. For a third thing, I was so bankrupt from all the plane tickets I'd been purchasing that I couldn't afford anything other than a spray bottle full of water. The only thing I could do was spray my computer a few times and hope for the best.
Now, I was trying to be careful with the spray bottle, but I think some of the water got up my nose. I woke up in New Zealand, being detained by two police officers.
I couldn't figure out exactly what had happened, but the police officers seemed pretty horrified by whatever I did. They also didn't seem to buy "hypnosis" as a defense. I ended up spending time in prison, both for (possibly) assault, and for (definitely, the pilot said) sneaking onto a plane when I couldn't afford tickets. As a result, I couldn't post anything on the blog for a while, and my readership started going down.
When I was released, I was pretty desperate to have one of my hypnosis attempts work.
4. Hypnotizing myself to write better quality posts
Admittedly, this was a bit of a departure from the previous three attempts, which had involved trying to hypnotize other people. However, if those previous attempts taught me anything, it's that I appear to be very easily hypnotized. I wanted to use this ability for good.
I was able to get my sister on board with the plan. She agreed to help guide me into a relaxed, more suggestible state, and then tell me to become better at blogging.
Later, she said she hadn't even told me to close my eyes yet before I started making a beeline for the airport.
According to her, I got really aggressive when she tried to stop me, and I kept trying to bite her while yelling "I need to do this! IT NEEDS ME TO DO THIS!!!".
She had to spray me with the water bottle to get me to snap out of it.
After I was out of the trance and we'd both calmed down a little, she told me that being hypnotized can't force you to do things against your will, and that she had no idea what was happening to me. She was really concerned when I told her about the results of all my previous attempts.
Really, I thought it would've been worth it if any of them had worked. Being internet famous means a lot to me.
5. Incorporating subliminal messages into a blog post
By now, I was almost ready to give up, but I wanted to try out one final method. This one involved writing out an inconspicuous-looking blog post, titling it something like "Using Hypnosis to Increase Site Traffic", and then cleverly underlining specific letters to spell out a hidden message. I'm writing out the last few sentences right now, and I'm feeling pretty optimistic. If you read this post up to the final sentence, you should now feel compelled to-
Excuse me.

SAN DIEGO — Federal agents nabbed three would-be drug smugglers attempting to sneak millions of dollars worth of methamphetamine over the U.S-Mexico line in San Diego last weekend, authorities reported Tuesday.
The first suspected trafficker, a 32-year-old El Monte woman, drove a black 2008 Chevrolet Malibu into Otay Mesa Port of Entry from Tijuana about 4:15 p.m. Sunday, according to Customs and Border Protection public affairs.
After noticing suspicious-looking items in the car, inspectors searched it with a service dog, finding 22 pounds of liquid methamphetamine inside nine juice cans in the trunk and another 51 pounds of the drug in 34 packages hidden in a non-factory compartment behind the rear passenger seat.
The narcotic haul had a total estimated street value of roughly $1.03 million.
About 90 minutes later, officers staffing San Ysidro Port of Entry were looking over a white 1995 Ford F-150 when they noticed that the driver appeared nervous.
They referred the 32-year-old woman and her 36-year-old female passenger, both U.S. citizens who live in San Bernardino County, to a secondary search area. There, the personnel discovered 107 pounds of liquid methamphetamine worth about $2.14 million concealed in the gas tank of the pickup truck.
All three suspects were turned over to Homeland Security Investigation agents. The women's names were not released. CBP officers seized the vehicles and narcotics.

At the turn of the 20th century, San Francisco's Board of Supervisors voted to ban all burials within the city, sparking the movement of thousands of deceased residents to Colma. Currently, the number of dead in Colma drastically outnumbers the number of living, and San Franciscans hoping to be buried here in the city are hard-pressed to find a location that will accept them. Fortunately, the Neptune Society Columbarium offers an exquisite alternative to the final commute. Tucked away in the Richmond District, the Columbarium is a stunning piece of neoclassical architecture. It's also the only nondenominational cemetery in San Francisco, happy to house a diverse citizenry. Each tiny niche is decorated to suit the departed loved one's tastes, which makes exploring the building an easy way to get to know its residents' personalities. Although the Columbarium almost ran out of space last year, expansions are underway, so that those who love this city will never have to leave.

Commonly called a "nose job". For this procedure, our surgeon will assess your facial features and depending on your preferences and desired outcome, recommend the correct implant to use. Alternatively, our surgeon can harvest your own cartilage. Read more
Alarplasty addresses the alar region on your nose where the nostrils become rounded from the tip and extending toward the cheek. Unlike rhinoplasty that changes the appearance of your entire nose, alarplasty only changes the width of the nostrils. Our surgeon can assist you to narrow the span of flared nostrils to give your face a more balanced structure.
Fat transfer to the nose can increase height, create definition, and provide illusion of bridge narrowing. The same technique can be used on nasolabial folds to smooth out laugh lines. The procedure uses your own fat.
Surgical procedure to remove excess lip tissue and reduce overly large and protruding lips. Incision will be placed on the inside of the lip.
Your own fat is a good material for fuller lips because it eliminates the risk of allergic reaction or rejection.
Our surgeon can help you to create a pleasing, well-balanced facial contours by moderately reshaping the bone and other structural tissues at your chin, effectively refining facial definition and outline.

SNP MEP and member of the European Parliament's Agriculture Committee Alyn Smith has welcomed the presentation of new proposals on organic farming in the EU.
Alyn said:
"These proposals are a good starting point but need some work before I'll be happy to sign them off.
"Consumers should be confident that, if they buy an EU organic-labelled product, farmers have not used pesticides and that the product is free from contamination. EU rules must guarantee this but should not be suffocating for our smaller, local producers who are the essence of the organic system.
"The proposals must also be adapted in order to ensure that there are allowances for farmers in those member states or regions where there is not a ready supply of organically-bred seeds. Their products should be allowed to qualify for the organic label as long as they follow all the other agro-ecological and agronomic principles. In some regions organic breeding for some plant species is lagging and the regulation needs to make space for seeds adapted to local conditions.
"With demand for organic products increasing four fold in ten years, we need EU rules fit for purpose and while these are a good start, I want to see some tidying up before they become law."
