Ooh. Interesting.I can't seem to find the Codru-Ji anywhere in my books, though.
How the 3 Force training, KC? Is this a human or Mirakula? Those are the only two races I know who could pull it off at level 5.
Right, i misremembered and thought you got Feats at 1st, 3rd, and 5th, and Talents and 2nd and 4th, when it's the other way around.
One problem with that, Goat. Force Training isn't on the list of Jedi bonus feats.
Also, Saga is such a weird system. > I might end up homebrewing the crap out of it to get rid of alot of the crap talents/feats. Combining Deflect and Block for instance... wait, have I said this before?
Saga seems to be designed to give non-Jedi a fairly decent chance against Jedi. Presumably so they could intermingle in campaigns. With everyone as a Jedi, I don't have to worry about keeping the party internally balanced so much as I do have to worry about keeping the enemies balanced vs. the party.
The first was that they all produce potent pheromones, similar to the Falleen species, which enhanced their attractiveness and likeability. The second was a limited telepathic ability, used to project emotions onto others, as well as allowing them to read and even feel the emotions of others; some Zeltrons were hired by the Exchange for this ability.

My youngest grandchild turned one today, where has the year gone, what have I completed in the last year? Does it count if I say I have started a few stories and started a novel and even started sorting out some cupboards, it is so easy to think about doing things and even starting them but the finishing of the jobs is the hardest bit. I always seem to get side tracked, called upon to do a job or just answer the phone and then I have gone of in another direction. Write a list they say but really how many lists can you have, then I lose the list.
When Mia was born ( that's the youngest grandchild ) her Aunty Jodie looked after her one day, while there she took some impressions of her little hand and foot. You forget just how tiny they are. They have now been framed and today at the Birthday Party, Jodie gave her sister a present and said this is for you.
They are so cute and will be a reminder for ever how little she was.
The cake and fairy cakes were all made by a friend, who we think should be starting her own business as they look so good and taste divine. I have already put my order in for my birthday.
The theme was giraffes as she has so many of them, you can get just about everything with a giraffe on it now, believe me, I even got a little trampoline with one on.
So that was the birthday over, enjoyed by all the family. Time for a rest now, as for Mia, she could not wait till she got home to sleep.

38 Studios owner Curt Schilling and Rhode Island governor Lincoln Chafee resulted in... absolutely nothing. Specifically, Rhode Island's Economic Development Corporation will take no immediate action to prevent the studio from going under, with Chafee on record as asking, "How do we avoid throwing good money after bad?"
It's a loaded question if you consider that the failure of 38 Studios would put the state's taxpayers on the hook for more than $112 million. Schilling has declined to elaborate on the company's state in interviews, and he has not made public how much more funding the company is seeking. It's bad news for the studio, bad news for the state, and bad news for any fans still looking forward to the possibility of Project Copernicus in the future.
[Update: Joystiq reports that "it appears 38 Studios put up all present and future IP by the company as collateral," meaning that if the studio defaults, the state of Rhode Island will own all of its game assets. We've tucked some of the ensuing news coverage in the video behind the break.]

|75 shots, 7 yards, Browning 1911-22
The results of my first 75 shots with the little gun are shown here. Shot off-hand at 7 yards (give or take a bit), this was done just to break the gun in and make any possible faults known. The first magazine more resembled a shotgun pattern than a group but as time went on it was clearly settling in and parts were more consistently mating to produce distinct groups. Two makes of ammunition were used. The first was a box of steel cased Russian Junior ammunition I think I bought in the late 1980s. The second was a box of Winchester High Velocity RNs from about 1988 of which I have several thousand rounds and also use for rimfire silhouette shooting. The first can be compared to the cheapest bulk .22 rimfire and the latter is pretty good stuff. Most of the time I used a 6-o'clock hold on the center ring but for the last magazine I tried a 6-o'clock hold on the "X". The sights are very small and copy the issue 1911A1 sights are so are very hard to see (especially as I'm developing cataracts right now). I think the gun has potential.
|Russian Junior .22 LR
Supposedly the same as the Surok ammo (?) just branded differently for export, the Junior .22 LR in the green (I'm told it is "seafoam" green) box with the rooster on it is steel cased. It has a plain (i.e. unplated) lead round nosed bullet which has some sort of waxy lubricant. I have seen some of the lubricant melt in moderate temperatures, but not all of it. That ammo was prone to duds. If the lube hasn't melted it always goes off. I have had failures to extract with this ammo. It was NOT good in my nickel S&W M34 and my most recent failure to extract was in the 1911-22. I had to rod out the case. Accuracy can be very good in the ammo that has been carefully stored. However, just as my experiences with it vary, so do the experiences of others. Some curse and some praise this low-priced ammunition.

The Department of Energy (DOE) SunShot Program has a specific goal: to move the cost of solar-energy-generated electricity to be competitive, without subsidies, with the cost of fossil-fuel-generated electricity by 2020. In service to that, it supports research in every dimension of both photovoltaic (PV) solar and concentrating solar power (CSP) along the entire gamut from basic to applied science. DOE calls SunShot "the Apollo Mission of our time."
Because things in Washington, D.C. go down more easily when there are numbers attached, DOE Solar Technology Development Manager Joseph Stekli noted that the SunShot program designated an unsubsidized cost of six cents per kilowatt-hour as its target for solar power plants. That translates, according to the DOE, to $3.60 per watt for CSP systems with up to 14 hours of thermal energy storage (TES).
The specific goals for TES are a cost below $15 per kilowatt-hour, a round trip efficiency of 93 percent, and a heat-retaining efficiency of greater than 95 percent.
DOE is also targeting a heat transfer fluid, Stekli added, with a thermal stability of as high as 1,300 degrees C, a freezing below-zero degrees C, a heat capacity twice that of current solar cells and other characteristics similar to currently used molten salts.
Stekli and DOE SunShot PV Team Lead Lidija Sekaric talked about the SunShot program during the Smithers APEX solar summit in San Diego.

Individuals who choose First Super to handle their superannuation needs will find easy to understand investment options, tools to help in splitting contributions and rolling over funds, and products that will also see you through your retirement.
Carefully compare all of the features being offered by First Super to help you decide if they can give you the biggest super boost for each of your bucks.
A few, quick things you can learn about First Super
First Super is an industry super fund, catering to the furniture, joinery, pulp, paper and timber industries. Yet their investment options are still open to any Australian who is looking for convenience and flexibility for their superannuation funds.
Both individuals and employers are welcome to join and take advantage of the five different investment options available. There are also special accounts that are structured to ease you into retirement and take care of your needs once you have made it there.
What's internet banking like for First Super?
First Super's first online is a convenient tool for members who wish to keep track of their superannuation funds from the comfort of their own computer. You will need to register for this service, which will then allow you to:
- View and update your personal details.
- Locate and roll in any of your lost super accounts.
- Change or add beneficiaries.
- View your account transaction history and download it.
- Obtain a member's benefit quote.
- View the details of your insurance options.
- See the progress of the investment choices you have made.
- Check and update your employer details.
This is a secure online platform that allows you full access to your super fund accounts so that you can be a part of managing their growth.Back to top
What super funds are offered by First Super?
First Super has super funds available for both the individual investor and employers. You are given a choice of five super funds to decide between with the option of mixing and matching your investment money to suit your needs.
- Shares Plus. Your riskiest choice in super funds, with Shares Plus your superannuation funds are concentrated in stock market shares. You will see some volatility with your investment over the course of time, but historically this option gives you the highest return on your money invested.
- Growth. The Growth option is a balance of various high risk investment options, where you still will see some volatility but the risk is slightly decreased due to the diversion of your investments.
- Balanced. This is First Super's default option, and divides your superannuation funds among a variety of different investment types to lower your risk but still provide you with a healthy return over time.
- Conservative Balanced. As you approach retirement you can consider switching to this super fund. The risk is greatly reduced, but you will not see the high returns that you find with the other First Super products.
- Cash. Investing in cash is a defensive move for your superannuation funds. With this option you see slow growth of your money, but your risk of loss is minimal.
You should note that growth investments will typically outperform your defensive investments over time, but past performance is not an indication of how a super fund will perform in the future. Before deciding on which fund or funds you want to join, you need to consider how far off your retirement is, how much you have invested so far, and what your plans for the future are.
What pension accounts are offered by First Super?
It makes no difference if you choose to continue working once you have reached preservation age or if you stop working, with First Super you will find a pension account that suits your personal circumstance.
- Transition to Retirement. With this type of account you are permitted to ease into retirement rather than leaving the workforce immediately upon reaching preservation age. You can reduce your hours and use your super fund to supplement your income while still minimising your tax obligation. During this time you are also permitted to continue growing your super fund by contributing a portion of your salary into the account.
- Allocated Pension. Once you have completely left the Australian workforce you will be ready to start your Allocated Pension. You choose how much is withdrawn from your super fund and how often based on your own financial needs. You are also permitted lump sum withdrawals if you need to make a large purchase. With this account you will receive the optimal tax advantages for both your pension payments and any investment earnings.
First Super offers their accounts to members at competitive fees, including no fee for entry and affordable insurance options. How you invest now will make a huge difference in your quality of life when you retire. Take the time to compare various super funds before making a final decision to give your money the most benefit.Back to top
The art of effortless application process with First Super
Whether you are applying to join First Super as an individual member, employer, or pension member you can fill out an online form in order to begin.
All you will need to provide is your name, address, birthdate and email and First Super will send you the necessary documents to complete the application.
Before you submit the form you can also ask to have more information about the super funds sent to you, including a member product disclosure statement.

NewsWire: Roger Ebert Discusses Use of "Requiem for a Dream" in TTT Trailer - Chicago Sun-Times
Film critic Roger Ebert answers the following question in his "Movie Answer Man" column: Q: While watching the most recent trailer for Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers, I immediately recognized the music as the excellent score from Requiem for a Dream. I am familiar with the practice of recycling music for trailers--I can't count the number of times I have heard the score from "Aliens"--but why bother, with a sequel to a hugely successful movie with a ready-made score? If it was slapped on for time's sake, I might understand, but the version I heard on the trailer sounds re-orchestrated and tweaked, as if specifically for LOTR. Granted, the urgency and sadness of the music fit the tone of the trailer perfectly, but did the studio think the existing score from the first Rings film not moving enough? A: You have good ears. Yes, the Requiem score was used, and yes, it was re-orchestrated. I contacted the AM's expert source David Bondelevich, award-winning music editor and lecturer at the University of Southern California. He at first assumed that "but re-scoring it would be prohibitively expensive," but his contact at the Ant Farm, which created the trailer, said otherwise. Nathan D. Duvall, music producer at the Ant Farm, explained, "In many cases a trailer is created in two days and there isn't enough time to create original music. With Two Towers, the editor who cut the trailer fell in love with the Requiem score but found that it didn't quite adhere to the typical trailer music formula. To solve this we created a larger orchestration that arched to a big resolution. Requiem is a more intimate feature yet it has a haunting melody that easily translates to a more broad feature in Two Towers. The Rings score is well placed in the first minute of the Two Towers trailer but the editor found that she needed something different since Towers is a different act in the trilogy. Once you have introduced the known characters and reminded the audience of their separate journeys we needed to depart from the old score. Howard Shore had not yet completed his score for Two Towers by the time we finished our trailer so we couldn't use any of the new music. As far as creative decisions go, our partner here at the Ant Farm who holds the Rings account, Barbara Glazer, supported our attempt with the revised Requiem theme. And all creative decisions are finally approved by [LOTR director] Peter Jackson."

It is not easy watching parents get older. They are people who brought you up and are the closest thing to a hero a child will ever have. Sadly, time catches up with every person and we have to accept it as a way of life. Sometimes, people cannot look after themselves any longer. When this happens, it is your duty to find the best solution for your parents. If they can't move in with you, a retirement home is a good alternative. Of course, any nursing home won't do because you want a high standard of care. With that in mind, here are four things to consider.
Don't Rush It
The worst thing you can do is put a deadline on the process. Yes, your parents might be struggling to live alone, but there are ways to cope. For example, the family members can visit every day to ensure they have everything they need. Or, they can move in with a loved one on a temporary basis. These are much better options than choosing a home which isn't up to standard or doesn't suit their needs. Rather than have a time limit, go the other way and take as long as possible.
Research The Cost
In a perfect world, money would not be an issue. In reality, you and your parents can only afford what is within the budget. Anything more will result in an uncomfortable experience for both parties. Anyway, you will end up back at square one in a worse position. Before you make a decision, do a quick inventory of the expenses. Then, factor it against the total amount which is in the kitty. You can do it per week, month or year, but it doesn't matter as long as the cost isn't extortionate.
Look At The Overall Package
Don't just let the cost sway you, however. There is more to a great retirement home than the price. For example, do they have daily tasks to provide a routine? Or, is there a senior companion program which helps new residents make a quick transition? Also, don't forget about the friendliest of the staff, the independence factor, and the location. They might not live in the same house anymore, but you don't want your parents to be an airplane flight away. Remember that there are lots of variables to consider.
Involve Your Parents
If it is not possible to ask for their advice and you have power of attorney, you can do it alone or with your family. But, don't make the cardinal sin of thinking you know what is best for them. Parents who don't have strong physical capabilities are still able to make decisions. As long as their mind is sharp, they should be the people with the most input. Otherwise, you are being a bad parent and forcing them to do something they don't want to do. So, you need to get their opinion every step of the way.
Hopefully, these four tips will make the process easier and not as stressful.

The Boy Who Stole The Sun: DevLog, The First
Greetings! You have found the game development blog of The Boy Who Stole The Sun, a survival adventure game about temperature, trust, and the emotional development of a boy (also about going to magical lands and not knowing what's going on there, and then going home and not knowing what's going on there, either).
TLDR; I'm 34 and I'm a gamedev burnout survivor. I'm a husband and a father. I'm poor and indebted. I'm smart and skilled and damaged, and I'm making the game that my bruised little gamedev heart wants to make. This blog will be the record of that adventure.
My name is Seth Gorden, and I'm starting at the wrong end of the difficulty of curve for making one's first indie game. It's the passion project. The engine and tools are each hand-rolled in C++. It uses a custom software renderer. There is a custom scripting language. It has a non-trivial story and several characters. It has experimental game mechanics that aren't well established in other games I have played or created. It's the game that many veteran indie developers warn us not to make our first time at bat. It is a hard game to make. God help me, at least it's 2D.
In addition to sharing all my wrong turns and problem solving adventures, I am likely to comment a bit on my family life (wife and two kids), problems shuffling around the balance of activities in my week, and the various obstacles to feeling like a legitimate game developer (failures, burnout, impostor syndrome, all that good stuff). I love the idea of building a community around the game and around my work, but this is already manifesting more as a confessional account of my experience rather than a pitch of any kind. That's probably a little backward, but so am I. Thanks for joining me. Here we go.
A little background:
I coded all my first games on the TI-83 calculator in high school. My claim to fame there being that I was, perhaps, the only kid to have his calculator confiscated in both math classes and the math-heavy advanced chemistry class. I did manage to write my first RPG on that platform, called Walrus Hunter 5, because any name sounds funny and appropriate as a teenager. Later I learned Pascal, HTML, C++. I took a corporate job working on data processing software. I learned how to work with databases, postscript for printers, and some web coding. Later, I went to college at Full Sail University to learn game development and acquire more debt than I had ever known. Got my first job creating an arcade game called Sunday Monster Smash, which took several years to make, never went into production, and resulted a couple periods of burnout on the entire idea of game development.
In order to recover from the above, I became an oil painter, learned how to use a wacom tablet, and still hold a part-time job teaching art classes to make ends meets.
This blog picks up in the middle of my return to game development as a serious endeavor. Due to the urging and support of my friends, I opened up my abandoned adventure game about six months ago. If we ignore for a moment the turmoil that is America itself and just focus on my home and personal life, I can say that my anxiety is much lower this year than it has been for several years, and with that has come focus, and the ability to see code clearly in my head. Being a visual person, this is a pretty crucial faculty to have in working order. I'm still really rusty on architectural choices in the codebase. Most of my missteps are currently in that area.
That's a good a place as any to jump into the coding discussion. So I'm about to talk about code design. Buckle up.
My most recent impossible bug was my Actor object. It served as my point of integration for visual data (how the critter looks, with references to the image and animation data), physics (how the critter moves), and script (how the critter behaves). And this served as the basis for all interactive objects in the game world.
Seemed like a good idea when I was putting it together, but it gradually became the dreaded GodClass, trying to do all the things. And I ignored several red flags that popped up as I started to use the object beyond simple tests. Or rather... it worked really well for the known goals. And then I used it for the player object. That's when things went sideways on me. The problems had to do with handling more than one source of input.
On the one hand, the Actor already had all the bits of code to update the state of the Actor based on commands from the associated script. The scripting language, in short, pipes in high-level commands like "Walk left for 1000 milliseconds" or "Play Animation[x]", or whatever. Commands are user-defined in a definition file that can be updated at any time. The command definitions are error-checked against the syntax of the language (which looks very C-like, in general), and all the scripts are checked against the language rules and the command definitions, and so on. (That was actually one of the most fun sub-projects of the engine, and I learned so much about compilers doing that work. If you are feeling brave in life, code yourself a scripting language. It will change you.)
Anyway, scripts were the primary source of input, and all code that modifies an Actor object was pretty tightly coupled to the internal command handler (are you experienced coders cringing yet?). When I hooked up the player object, which contained an Actor object, and started having the Actor deal with player input, I ran into problems that I just couldn't see clearly enough to fix in place. The on-screen results were that I could run scripts, and I could take player input, but if I ever made two objects interact (like punching or activating something) the code would would perform the action, and then neither object would return properly to its normal update loop behavior. Yay for triggering things. Boo for becoming a brick in the game world. Bad times.
Couldn't come up with any scheme for managing an Actor's internal state that would properly resolve directional and action inputs from the player and also handle the various modes relevant to scripts and command-handling. It was bad code. I was breaking the intent of the initial design of the Actor object, and more importantly... no Actor was ever going to be taking input from two sources simultaneously anyway.
Don't know what I was thinking when I tried to code to handle both. So I ripped out all input stuff and instead created an ActorCtrl interface that could be implemented for both for PlayerCtrl and ScriptCtrl. I assumed there would still be some state-management bugs to work out and that primary benefit of this change would be that I could see the code clearer if it was separated out. But most of the state bugs disappeared entirely when I took out the input handling completely out of the Actor. It's not much of an Actor anymore. It's more like a puppet now. But that's as it should be.
Coding up new behaviors a much cleaner process now. Any general behaviors now get supported by the ActorCtrl interface. Features specific to player input are in the PlayerCtrl implementation. And Script-only stuff goes in ScriptCtrl. Why didn't I think of that before? Just got rusty. Also, pretty sure anxiety corrodes the mind. Crossing that hurdle, though, was super-helpful for self-esteem and for flexing my architecture muscles again.
The latest fixes represent a critical threshold where I can say that I'm no longer just coding up the engine tools. The game is still pre-alpha, but real content is supportable now. I can code scripts and sometimes implement new behaviors in a single coding session. I have an editor for quickly putting together Actor definition files. And I have a map editor than can launch directly into the game for testing. My iteration speed is pretty solid compared to other games I've made. While the bug list is never truly empty, the game engine itself finally feels reliable.
I cannot state in mere words how much of a relief this is. The earliest
code files in my engine are dated 2011, and this engine was the third in a series of prototypes as I tried to figured out what I was making. Granted, I still had a full time job when I started putting this adventure together, and it was a piecemeal experiment. There was perhaps less pressure for it to turn into a production-oriented, quick-iteration pipeline back then. But that doesn't do much to attenuate the weight of years passing by, wishing I had a game to ship, being perpetually in a state of "almost ready to start making the game" while I chew through bugs and gradually resolve incredibly poor architectural choices.
The cool part is that now I have a very carefully crafted engine and tools, with the better part of six years of testing invested in it. AND it's fun to use. That's about the best I can do to articulate my current excitement level. It's maybe the most excited I've been about any software development since I was in college. This is a very good time for me.
And so my pal Andrew, who runs this website and who has been a primary supporter in my return to game development, has asked me to blog the process. I was at least half-excited and certainly half-terrified to start writing, but I do find already that I'm looking forward to discussing the details. There are so many cool facets to coding a game, and doing a tough project solo puts me on the front lines of everything. This means that even in a pre-alpha state, I have many war stories to share. My brain is already buzzing.
I will be posting at least every other week, and maybe dropping in mini-updates if there are questions about tech or the game which require more than the comments section to accommodate them.
This entry has mostly been a meet-and-greet type deal, but I felt some context would help us get acquainted. I definitely want to talk more about TheGameItself in the next entry, but if you want a sneak peak with some gifs and such, I do have a thread for the game over at the TIGSource Forums.
If you have questions, whether they be about tech, game design, or how Indie Dev Is Hard, fire away! I cannot promise to be correct, but I will be honest.
Thanks for reading this far. I already like that about you. See you in the comments section.

Pausanias (general)
Bust of Pausanias, in the Capitoline Museums, Rome.
Pausanias (Greek: Παυσανίας; died c. 470 BC) was a Spartan regent, general, and war leader for the Greeks who was suspected of conspiring with the Persian king, Xerxes I, during the Greco-Persian Wars. What is known of his life is largely according to Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War, together with a handful of other classical sources.
Spartan lineage [ edit ]
As son of the regent Cleombrotus and nephew of the warrior king, Leonidas I, Pausanias was a scion of the Spartan royal house of the Agiads but not in the direct line of succession. After Leonidas' death, while the king's son Pleistarchus was still in his minority, Pausanias served as regent of Sparta. Pausanias was also the father of Pleistoanax who later became king. Other sons were Cleomenes and Nasteria.
War service [ edit ]
Pausanias was leader of the Hellenic League created to resist the Persian invasion. He led the Greeks in their victory over Mardonius and the Persians at the Battle of Plataea in 479 BC.[1]. While the latter is sometimes seen as a chaotic soldiers battle,[2] others see evidence of both strategic and tactical skill on the part of Pausanias in delaying the engagement until the point where Spartan armour and discipline could have maximum impact.[3] Herodotus concluded that "Pausanias the son of Cleombrotus and grandson of Anaxandridas won the most glorious victory of any known to us".[4]
After the victories at Plataea and the Battle of Mycale, the Spartans lost interest in liberating the Greek cities of Asia Minor until it became clear that Athens would dominate the League in Sparta's absence. Sparta then sent Pausanias back to command the Greek military.
Suspected pact with Persia [ edit ]
In 478 BC Pausanias was suspected of conspiring with the Persians and was recalled to Sparta; however he was acquitted and then left Sparta of his own accord, taking a trireme from the town of Hermione. After capturing Byzantium the previous year, Pausanias was alleged to have released some of the prisoners of war who were friends and relations of the king of Persia. However, Pausanias argued that the prisoners had escaped. He allegedly sent a letter via Gongylos of Eretria to Xerxes, son of Darius, saying that he wished to help him and bring Sparta and the rest of Greece under Persian control. In return, he wished to marry the king's daughter. After Xerxes replied agreeing to his plans, Pausanias started to adopt Persian customs and dress like a Persian aristocrat.[5]
According to Thucydides and Plutarch[6] many Hellenic League allies joined the Athenian side because of Pausanias' arrogance and high-handedness. The Spartans recalled him once again, and Pausanias fled to Kolonai in the Troad before returning to Sparta as he did not wish to be suspected of Persian sympathies. On his arrival in Sparta, the ephors had him imprisoned, but he was later released. Nobody had enough evidence to convict him of disloyalty, even though some helots gave evidence that he had offered certain helots their freedom if they joined him in revolt. However one of the messengers that Pausanias had been using to communicate with Xerxes to betray the Greeks provided written evidence (a letter stating Pausanias' intentions) to the Spartan ephors that they needed to formally prosecute Pausanias.[7]
It is important to note, however, that our evidence comes from sources uniformly hostile to Pausanias: Athenians because they wished him removed from Greek command,[8] and Spartans because of his innovatory views on freeing the Helots.[9]
Death [ edit ]
The ephors planned to arrest Pausanias in the street, but he was warned of their plans and escaped to the temple of Athena of the Brazen House. The ephors surrounded the temple, put sentries outside the entrances and proceeded to starve him out. When Pausanias was on the brink of death by starvation they carried him out, and he died soon afterwards.[10] Thus Pausanias did not die within the sanctuary of the temple, which would have been an act of ritual pollution.
According to Polyaenus, Pausanias took refuge in the temple of Athena Chalcioeca (Ancient Greek: Ἀθηνᾶς τῆς Χαλκιοίκου: of Athena of the Brass or Brazen House, the shrine of Athena at Sparta, as mentioned above). His mother Theano (Ancient Greek: Θεανὼ) immediately went there, and laid a brick, which she carried with her, at the door saying: "Unworthy to be a Spartan, you are not my son", (According to 1.1). The Lacedemonians admired her braveness and intelligence. They then blocked up the doorway with bricks, without forcing the suppliant from the temple. [clarify] [11]

The U. S. Food and Drug Administration approved Odomzo® (sonidegib, formerly LDE225) for the treatment of patients with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma (laBCC) that has recurred following surgery or radiation therapy, or those who are not candidates for surgery or radiation therapy.
The approval was based on demonstration of a durable objective response rate (ORR) in an international, multi-center, double-blind, randomized, two-arm clinical trial in patients with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma not amenable to local therapy or metastatic basal cell carcinoma (mBCC).
About Basal Cell Carcinoma
BCC consists of abnormal, uncontrolled growths or lesions that arise in the skin's basal cells, which line the deepest layer of the outermost layer of the skin. BCC accounts for more than 80% of non-melanoma skin cancers. It occurs most frequently on the head and neck, with the nose being the most common site [1]. BCC that spreads from where it started to nearby tissue is called locally advanced disease and can be highly disfiguring [2]. Advanced BCC is thought to represent roughly 1-10% of all cases of BCC [3][4][5]. While BCC is generally diagnosed and treated early, it may recur in an estimated 3% of patients after five years [6]. Although BCC rarely becomes advanced, there have been few treatment options at this stage of the disease. Worldwide incidence of BCC is rising by 10% each year due to factors such as an aging population and increased ultraviolet exposure. Incidence rates are estimated to be between 0.003% and 0.55% worldwide[7].
The clinical trial enrolled 230 patients who were treated 2:1 with either Odomzo® 800 mg (n=151) or 200 mg (n=79) daily until cancer progression or unacceptable side effects. The majority (84%) of those enrolled had laBCC. FDA approval was based on demonstration of durable ORR in these patients with laBCC. The ORR for the 66 patients with laBCC treated with Odomzo® 200 mg arm was 58% consisting of 3 (5%) complete responses and 35 (53%) partial responses.
A similar response rate was noted in the 128 patients with laBCC treated with Odomzo® 800 mg. Among the 38 responding patients with laBCC in the 200 mg arm, 7 patients (18%) experienced subsequent disease progression, and 4 of these 7 patients had maintained a response of 6 months or longer. The remaining 31 patients (82%) continue to respond with ongoing responses ranging from 1.9+ to 18.6+ months; 16 patients have ongoing responses of 6 months or longer, and the median duration of response has not been reached.

Hutchison 3G has denied that it will breach covenants with its bankers as a result of a delayed launch of 3G mobile services in the UK and Italy. The new wireless operator, which is due to launch much-delayed 3G services by the end of this year, insisted that suggestions in the Financial Times that covenants related to the number of customers were incorrect and it did not have problems with funding.
Nonetheless, the publication in the Financial Times of a business plan, prepared in 2000 to persuade a consortium of banks to lend it 3bn pounds ($4.7bn), is embarrassing for the company as it draws attention to the initial high hopes that carriers had for 3G technology that persuaded them to pay 22.5bn ($33.5bn) for licenses in the UK alone.
According to the report, Hutchison expected to have 400,000 users by the end of 2001 and 1,500,000 by the end of this year. By 2010 it forecast that it would have 9.4 million customers, each paying on average 54 pounds ($85.3) a month for services.
In reality, Hutchison currently has no paying customers as it has been hit by the lack of 3G handsets and is currently expecting 100,000 from supplier NEC by the end of the year. For the moment, it is testing its service using a limited number of friendly customers while it attempts to iron out problems caused by dropped calls when customers move from a 3G cell to a 2G one.
The company insists that this is just a software problem that will eventually be solved and will not cause problems for the vast majority of customers who move in urban areas covered by continuous 3G cells.
But the delays erode Hutchison's first-mover advantage that gave it the opportunity to build up a substantial customer base with technology superior to its established competitors. There is in any case the problem of the current lack of interoperability between the 3G systems of different vendors.
Many observers are skeptical about Hutchison's belief that it can persuade its customer base to spend more than 50 pounds ($79) a month on mobile communications, and that this is a level of spending only currently achieved by a small minority of users. In August this year, Dutch incumbent KPN NV wrote 1.5bn euros ($1.4bn) off the value of its 15% stake in Hutchison 3G, valuing the holding at 300m euros ($291m) and suggesting that the UK's fifth mobile operator is worth just 2bn euros ($1.9bn).

Russian and anglophone Twitter users responded to the guilty verdict and two-year prison sentence handed down to Pussy Riot members Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alyokhina, and Yekaterina Samutsevich on August 17, 2012.
The women were arrested last March after a February performance [1] inside Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Savior, just before Vladimir Putin retook the Russian Presidency amid charges of election fraud.
Setting the stage
It took the judge several hours to read out the guilty verdict fully, before announcing the two-year sentence. Prosecutors had requested as many as seven years in prison for the women, two of whom are mothers to small children.
Journalist and former New York Times Moscow Bureau Chief Glenn Kates [3] tweeted:
@gkates: [4] Great, great photos by @hegtor of #pussyriot before this incredibly long reading began. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=450091 [5]
Specialist in Russian politics, Francesca Mereu [6]tweeted:
@francescamereu: [7] The theater of absurd:three beautiful young women handcuffed like criminals; judge reading swear words #freepussyriot
Radio Freedom (Радио Свобода) tweeted a link to an article highlighting the now global awareness about the trial [ru]:
@SvobodaRadio: [8] Полсотни городов мира – для Pussy Riot http://goo.gl/nVivO [9]
Verdict announced
Blogger and activist Alexey Navalny [10] reported that music heard during the reading of the verdict originated somewhere outside on the street, but succeeded in reaching the inside the courtroom. Some Twitter users observed that the three defendants began smiling.
@navalny: [11]В зале заиграла песня PR. С улицы, но очень громко.
A Twitter account [12] representing the anglophone [13] 'Free Pussy Riot' LiveJournal blog added to its regular courtroom updates a note about the music:
@Eng_Pussy_Riot: [14]In the courtroom song of #PussyRiot is playing. From the street, but very loud. #Freepussyriot
Mental health issues
The Guardian's Moscow correspondent, Miriam Elder [15], provided live updates throughout the reading of the verdict:
@MiriamElder: [16] We're now talking about the women's psychological health. Have entered hour three.
Denis Parfenov responded to debate about the defendants' sanity:
@parfenov_: [17]Dear #pussyriot's judge: "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." ~ Krishnamurti @MiriamElder
Other twitter users detailed the judge's psychological assessment, highlighting choice absurdities:
@ioffeinmoscow: [18] Psychological expertise determines Tolokonnikova has "partial personality disturbance," bc "makes decisions based on personal experience."
The sentence is read
@TelenL: [19] Толоконниковой – 2 года, Самуцевич – 2 года, Алехина – 2 года. #Хамсуд.
Some microbloggers recalled a statement President Putin made at #London2012 [20], where he expressed his hope that the women would not be "judged too harshly:"
@RusPoliceWatch: [21] So Putin's "not too harshly" translates into two years in jail. #PussyRiot
Other Twitter users speculated about the trial's historical significance:
@ioffeinmoscow: [22] The judge said one of the reasons for a "real sentence" was to "caution others." And now you know. #PussyRiot
@ForeignPolicy: [23] Pussy Riot: already the most politically influential punk rock group ever http://bit.ly/MVh8DL [24]
Wisconsin-based Jacob Turk tried to remind readers that the Pussy Riot members are not the only Russians facing prosecution for political activism:
@randomdijit [25]: Deserves a RT. Not all of Putin's "guests" are photogenic young women. And some get much worse than 2 years rferl.org/content/russ [26] … @RFERL
Finally, an American expat living in Russia, Timothy Post, caustically observed that the duration of the sentence means that Pussy Riot could incite more controversy during the 2014 Sochi Olympic games:
@timothypost: [27] So that means #PussyRiot will STILL be in jail during the #Sochi2014 Winter Olympics. Does NOBODY on Putin's team understand modern PR?!?!!

I got enemies, got a lot of enemies.
Drake premiered his "Energy" music video on Beats 1 Radio for Apple Music on Friday.
Drake's mostly black & white music video off If You're Reading This It's Too Late splices in clips inspired by iconic pop culture moments like Tom Cruise's infamous couch jumping on Oprah, Justin Bieber's Calvin Klein ad, a nod to Amanda Bynes, Kanye West's "Bound 2″ vid and Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" visual. He also transforms into characters like Floyd Mayweather, President Obama, LeBron James, and OJ Simpson.
"I think it's one of those moments where I really hit the nail on the head at that given moment," Drake said of the Fleur & Manu-directed clip. "This treatment is something that I've had in my head for a while."
He says Michael Jackson's "Black and White" music video inspired him.
"I was like, 'Man, you know, effects have come such a long way. I bet we could do something crazy with this.' And how many people in the world feel like they have enemies? Everywhere you go, there's always someone who wants to pull you down and even celerity friends of mine or people that I don't know. I want people to rewind it a bunch of times and go and tell someone else to watch it. It's shocking, it's beautiful, it's a lot of things."

Today is the first of four messages on what we're calling our Discipleship Path – it's the words and phrases that are out in our lobby now, but with some significant changes. We've not paid much attention to them at this point, which is part of the reason we're changing them. They don't make sense to our new reality.
This path is about some of the things God calls us to as disciples. It is not a 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 step and we're done. It's more of a continuous cycle that renews itself. These represent some of the core actions of a disciple.

Bergedorfer Zeitung Selects LaterPay: Interview with Ann Kathrin Ziegler
LaterPay: Ms. Ziegler, Bergedorfer Zeitung is one of the most well-established daily newspapers in the eastern part of Hamburg and beyond. What is your paper's significance for the city and the region?
Ms. Ziegler: Bergedorfer Zeitung has been synonymous with first-rate local journalism for more than 150 years. We cover the stories and news in Bergedorf, Vierlande and Marschlande, Reinbek/Wentorf, Glinde, Geesthacht, Schwarzenbek and Lauenburg, as well as neighboring communities.
LaterPay: Please take a moment to introduce yourself: What is your position and responsibility at Bergedorfer Zeitung?
Ms. Ziegler: I am the sales and marketing coordinator, in charge of distribution of the printed daily, our two advertising journals and the digital publications. In addition, my duties include the coordination of marketing activities and events.
LaterPay: How important are the digital channels for the further evolution of Bergedorfer Zeitung's portfolio?
Ms. Ziegler: They are extremely important. We need to adapt our product to match the consumption behavior of our younger readership and keep all options open to develop new target audiences.
LaterPay: Since the summer of 2016, Bergedorfer Zeitung has relied on LaterPay. What were the reasons for your decision to use our technology?
Ms. Ziegler: It has still not been universally established that a user must pay to access editorial online content. LaterPay allows us to address this situation with a very charming approach: users do not have to commit right away to a long-term subscription, and purchasing just a single article is also possible. I believe that by going with LaterPay, we have implemented a payment system that fulfills precisely what the user expects and demands from our paid content offering.
LaterPay: What preliminary conclusions can you draw from your experience with LaterPay up to this point?
Ms. Ziegler: We are on the right track and are also engaged in a continuous, joint learning process with LaterPay. For example, the introduction of one-day or weekly passes that allow users to access all content, was readily accepted. After the June 2016 roll-out we saw a 42-percent increase in sales within the first five months. And this is why we have now introduced subscriptions as a convenient option for our regular readers. These subscriptions can be cancelled at any time, by the way.
LaterPay: You are using a number of different solutions to monetize your digital publications, from selling individual articles, to time passes, to subscriptions. Do users feel overwhelmed by this variety? And which formats perform particularly well?
Ms. Ziegler: I do not think it is seen as overwhelming; I would rather say that it provides users with a full range of options that correspond to their respective usage patterns. Especially online, there are those customers who are wary of making any commitments. What we do is to give everyone the kind of flexibility they want.
Website Bergedorfer Zeitung with listed payment options
LaterPay: How flexible is your price structure? And how do users react to changes?
Ms. Ziegler: Particularly in the early phase, we still had to gain certain insights, which now allow us to say that we have found the appropriate scaling in our current price structure. In my view, always having the courage to change the price structure as necessary, without giving existing customers the feeling that other users might be getting a better deal, enables you to recognize limits and draw helpful conclusions.
LaterPay: Is there an essential finding in your experience with LaterPay that you would like to share with your colleagues in other publishing houses?
Ms. Ziegler: I believe that LaterPay is an excellent choice also for smaller publishers, and I can only encourage everyone to use this type of payment system to introduce paid content. The 'bar tab' principle is the very thing that allows for a smooth, non-alarming introduction and avoids a flood of customer complaints.
Ms. Ziegler, thank you very much for this interview!

The puppet Beyonce isn't as charming to me as the real Beyonce, but she isn't far off.
You mean those aren't his legs?
He just needs more work on the kicks, the splits, and the fake Polish accent.
The puppets are cool, the jokes are funny, but I'd have to guess he is cleverly using the Eastern European thing as a comedic punctuation.


text: gardenmom5 33,836 Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 I'm trying to give as little info as possible. dd has an employee she'd like to send to Canada for work at their subsidiary there one or two days a month, going in her place so she can do other things. HR totaled screwed the pooch, and the employee has been denied entry. (the HR manager did get chewed out - and didn't show up for work today). now, employee will require secondary screening every. single. time. he goes to Canada - including for pleasure, because of this denied entry. (dd is trying to get him comp'd for this.) after a "denied entry" has been entered into your file, is it possible to get it removed? she's still hoping to fix the work permit situation (at this point, she's pushing for her boss to fork out for an immigration lawyer to fix it because it was the hr manager's arrogant fault this happened.). if he's able to get that work permit, is it possible to wipe the denied entry with the secondary search requirement? or has the HR manager screwed him for the rest of his life? 3 Link to post Share on other sites

In the modern age, we trust technology to make our lives easier. Having Siri on our phones, and Google at our fingertips has given us a convenience craving. And, for the most part, technology hasn't disappointed. Machines like Alexa have well and truly rocketed us into the future. This is the stuff we saw in space films no more than ten years ago!
And, the convenience of technology no longer stops at home. Ever-developing in car infotainment systems allow us to take convenience on the road. While many such systems still face some teething problems, each new design brings us closer to the futuristic vehicles of our dreams. Next stop; flying cars!
Seriously, though, in car infotainment is worth our attention. Done right, it could make our lives much easier. At the moment, the main benefit seems to be sat-nav functions. But, if things continue to progress, who knows where these inventions could take us? You could argue that intuitive in car systems could take driving safety to a new level. Already, we've seen systems which have the ability to control erratic driving, and check speed. And, this could go much further. Imagine a system which recognizes when you're falling asleep. It may seem futuristic, but anything is possible.
Of course, some car designers are closer to perfection than others. Top of best lists at the moment is the Mercedes Comand. This new system, fitted in new release Mercedes, boasts of two HD screens, so you could play music and use a sat-nav. It also comes complete with a controller next to the armrest. So, you don't have to worry about scrolling through menus by hand. Instead, you can control your infotainment without even moving. The newest release systems even boast of a touch screen on top of the existing controller dials. Life keeps getting easier!
Also worth a mention is the BMW iDrive. This is, by far, one of the most intuitive systems out there. It only has one screen to Mercede's two, but that also boasts of HD quality. The screen comes complete with shortcut buttons and a touchscreen. Though, you will need to reach out to the screen itself to use this. Primary control stays close though, with a control knob next to your gear stick. So, again, you can control the majority of features without leaning forward.
So, that's what's on the market already. And, with each new release, we see the inclusion of more and more features. But, what are the benefits of these systems? It may be nice to have a sat-nav built in, but most of us have those on our phones already. As such, this may not be enough to get everyone on side. But, that's not the only benefit infotainment systems boast. Most designs also allow you to connect your phone, which is an advantage for a few different reasons. For one, you can access all your music without worry. Gone are the days of rummaging for CDs. Now, anything on your phone is fair game.
Another benefit is that many infotainment systems can read texts to you as you drive. Texting while driving has been a major issue for years. Options like Apple's CarPlay even give you the chance to reply to texts while driving. It's as simple as pressing a voice control function on your steering wheel. You can then tell the system what you would like to say, and it'll send the text for you.
While there are safety benefits to such systems, it would be naive to think that there aren't some risks, as well. Cars are, ultimately, meant for driving. Do we need entertainment systems, too? A huge number of people each year already seek a lawyer to provide justice from car accidents caused by distracted drivers. And, such lawyers will tell you that distracted driving is a criminal offense. In the past, phones offered the main distraction. Now, are our infotainment systems at risk of doing the same?
Manufacturers have tried to lessen the distractions with close to the driver controls. But, that may not be enough. Even if your controller is near to you, you need to take your eyes off the road to see what you're controlling. The good news is, manufacturers are working to solve this issue. BMW's new design iDrive systems, for example, look set to include gesture control. And, in the future, voice control may save us having to take our eyes off the road at all. Watch the space!

About Us
Experimenting in her kitchen in 2004, home chef Helen Finnegan made the very first batch of what was to become Knockdrinna Farmhouse Cheese using just a few simple household utensils and a small amount of goats milk. Deciding to invest in her passion for good food, Helen began making cheese full time and the first Knockdrinna cheese – a Goats Cheese Camembert, Knockdrinna Snow – was born.
"I had a friend, Elizabeth Bradley of Carlow cheese, who started to make cheese at the same time. She showed me the basics, and I started to experiment with a cheese-making kit that I bought on the internet. We had a little back kitchen in our house converted it into somewhere to make cheese. We bought a little secondhand 120 litre vat and made cheese in it. Our cheese press was two axe handles with a little weight hanging out of the wall."
"We made some great cheese in that little room, and we made some terrible cheese in that little room as well. We had lots of cracked rinds, funny looking cheeses; in fact I'd say we had the best fed foxes in any part of the country for those first few years! We moved from our converted back kitchen to our small cheese dairy in 2005 and thankfully everything worked, our curing rooms developed our distinctive range of bacteria which give us our lovely golden rinds."
In 2008 Helen took over the production of Lavistown from another local cheesemaker, Olivia Goodwillie. One of Ireland's oldest Farmhouse cheeses, Lavistown is a cow's milk Caerphilly style cheese, and has held its place as an Irish favourite for over 25 years, and is now well established under the Knockdrinna banner.
Eight years on and Knockdrinna now has a range of goats, sheep, and cows cheeses and over 40 International and Irish awards, the most recent being a major category win for Knockdrinna Gold semi-hard goats cheese at the 2013 British Cheese Awards where it was named 'Best Modern British'.

Double Points Promotion Returns With Hilton Honors 2018
Receive double Hilton Honors frequent guest loyalty program points for all stays starting Tuesday, May 1, 2018 through Friday, August 31, 2018 when you register for the latest iteration of the double points promotion prior to your first stay, which will be available sometime next week.
Double Points Promotion Returns With Hilton Honors 2018
For every dollar you spend on stays, you will earn ten base points plus an additional ten bonus points — except for stays at Home2 Suite by Hilton and Tru by Hilton, where you will earn five base points plus five bonus points. Members who have earned Silver, Gold or Diamond elite level status will in addition earn their elite tier bonus.
The promotion is so incredibly simple — when being told "no" repeatedly is a good thing — as:
- No minimum stays are required to start earning
- No minimum number of nights are required in your stay
- No restrictions by nights, cities or brands will be implemented
- No limits are imposed as to how many Hilton Honors points you can earn during the promotion period
Participating Brands
All brands of the Hilton portfolio are participating in this promotion, which include:
- Hilton Hotels & Resorts
- Curio – A Collection by Hilton
- DoubleTree by Hilton
- Embassy Suites by Hilton
- Hilton Garden Inn
- Home2 Suites by Hilton
- Homewood Suites by Hilton
- Tru by Hilton
- Conrad Hotels & Resorts
- Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts
- Canopy by Hilton
- Hilton Grand Vacations
- Tapestry Collection by Hilton
- Hampton by Hilton — except for hotel properties located in Mainland China, which are excluded from this promotion
Terms and Conditions
You must be a member of the Hilton Honors frequent guest loyalty program to participate in this promotion; and you must register for this promotion prior to your first stay.
Once you have registered for this promotion, you will only receive bonus Hilton Honors points for nights completed during the promotion period — regardless of whether you check in for your stay before the promotion period begins or check out of your stay after the promotion period ends. You will earn double Hilton Honors bonus points per stay during the promotion period — meaning that you will receive a bonus equal to the number of base Hilton Honors points earned during a stay based on elite tier status at the time of checking out of the hotel or resort property.
Bonus Hilton Honors points earned on base points do not count toward qualification of elite tier status.
Please allow up to eight weeks from completion of your stay for points to appear in your Hilton Honors account.
There are restrictions on the amount of base points which can be earned on a single stay at certain brands. Hilton Honors membership, earning of Points & Miles when booking direct and redemption of Points are subject to Hilton Honors Terms and Conditions.
Not all room rates are eligible for this promotion — including but not necessarily limited to:
- Wholesale or tour operator packages
- Contracted crew rates
- Travel agency discount rates
- Packages exclusively for casino player card holders
- Team Member Travel rates
- Hilton Family Travel Rates
- Stays secured utilizing Hilton Grand Vacations Club and Hilton Club timeshare programs

- NET Group rates
- Series Group or IT Group rates
- Contracted Entertainment or Encore rates
- Third party Internet web site bookings — irrespective of rate paid
- "Opaque" channel bookings where the brand may or may not be known at the time of purchase
Hilton has been doing a good job in continuing what is essentially the same popular promotion of awarding double Hilton Honors points per stay — but adding twists to it to differentiate it each quarter with few restrictions and yet keep the promotion fresh and interesting.
Unfortunately, I see no word that the bonus of 10,000 bonus Hilton Honors points for every ten nights — up to a maximum bonus of 50,000 Hilton Honors points — for members who have earned Diamond elite level status, as was the case with the most recent version of this promotion.
Even if you currently have no plans to stay at a hotel or resort property within the brand portfolio of Hilton, the only cost to you will be the few seconds of your time you spend registering for this promotion — and I intend to take advantage of it when it becomes available next week.
In the meantime, do not forget that you can still earn 2,000 bonus Hilton Honors points per stay in the Points Unlimited promotion through Monday, April 30, 2018 — plus you can earn an additional 10,000 bonus Hilton Honors points for every five completed stays, regardless of whether or not you have earned elite level status.

It might only make your pores look smaller along with your skin a great deal firmer but it will not greatly help skin elasticity.
This natural feminine vaginal tightening wash is an excellent choice with regards to get a straightforward, safe, convenient, highly effective way to tighten, soothe, deodorise and keep your vagina fresh and comfortable throughout the day long and take care of your overall vaginal health while improving your sexual life.
Our team of board-certified dermatologists is very mixed up in research and development of the latest technologies for tightening skin regarding the face and body.
How Exactly To Avoid Pain When Your Braces Are Tightened
Are you certainly one of the 90% of guys that does not like the way your chest is looking? Ingredients include Aloe, which soothes and hydrates while promoting healthy tissue regeneration, Witch hazel for its anti-inflammatory and astringent properties, Willow bark extract (which soothes and conditions and it is an all-natural way to obtain BHA, an exfoliator and acne fighter), Rosemary (an antioxidant which has anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties), and other beneficial ingredients for the skin.
Both these conditions cause large amount of stress to the vagina leading to vaginal walls losing their elasticity over a length of the time making vagina loose and bring down sense of penetration for both the partners which can further lead to problems in a relationship since it is a well established fact that men prefer having sex with women with tighter vagina which is proved by their inclination to have intercourse with young virgin girls.
Co-enzyme Q10 is an excellent antioxidant to try to find; but most of the coq10 used on the market are not effective as they do not penetrate deep into the skin. While inflation is a natural result of economic growth, loose monetary policies can artificially increase inflation. Their regular usage has additionally been reported to permanently tighten the vagina and unlike vagina tightening surgery which costs thousands of dollars these creams could be bought for a meager $40 to $50. It is proven to increase skin elasticity by 42% in 18 days; hence, it effectively tightens sagging skin.
How Exactly To Be Rid Of Man Boobs
Tight monetary policy is a plan of action undertaken by the Federal Reserve to constrict spending in an economy that is seen to be growing too quickly or to curb inflation when it's rising too fast. The muscles that make up the pelvic cavity are called the pelvic floor muscles. All you must do is apply the vaginal cream about 15-20 minutes just before plan to indulge in sex. This method may work with you and I know individuals who swear so it has led to permanent weight reduction and overall skin tightening. Avoid using chewable tablets, as these may be difficult to chew should your teeth are already sore in addition they will get stuck in your braces. Therefore, reply to the question - just how to tighten sagging older skin safely and effectively lies in the use of natural products.
If you have got worries about having a loose vaginal area, you've got probably already looked at lots of choices and reviews for tightening it back me personally, I wanted ways to tighten my pussy naturally. Therefore, repeated contractions especially in childbirth because the pussy walls to loss elasticity are considerably making the vulva lax and loose. When the vaginal muscles are not conditioned, this muscle may become so weak that whenever you cough, laugh, sneeze or do something that puts stress on the pelvic cavity, your urethra will leak urine. Skin Tightening must be done in a few at least 6-8 treatments done once per week. Patented NIA-114 technology strengthens the skin barrier to retain vital moisture.
You certainly do not need to take any drastic measure within the name of beauty; you can effectively tighten sagging neck skin without surgery by using quality firming cream. This therefore ensures that having a loose vagina just isn't such a bad thing after all, that is provided you end up effectively tightening it since it is the procedure for effectively tightening it that will provide you with the ability to learn to take control of your pelvic floor muscles. V-gel offers some very nice deals if you buy in bulk, although per month's supply is sufficient for you really to begin to notice the tightening effect this cream has regarding the vaginal wall. Women have been using vinegar traditionally as an effective means of tightening the vulva for decades.
The expert aesthetician will apply some ultrasound gel to the 'Wand' along with a condom and lubrication. Natural skin cleansers can be created from fruits such as pineapples, papaya, apples, oranges, grapes or any type of berry. Choosing the most effective pill to tighten your vagina is a lost cause, the pills currently available are not up to standard and quite frankly we have yet to get a vagina tightening pill that works. Women believe that pills can restore tightness when in reality they are doingn't. They are going to strengthen not only the muscle that supports the urethra, but most of the other muscles into the pelvic region.
Using skin care or supplements containing hyaluronic acid have shown to be largely ineffective, as the skin can not genuinely have it replaced like that. Yoga , Pilates : other types of exercise also help to tighten the pelvic muscles, like yoga and pilates, since these all incorporate working on the pelvic floor muscle and strengthening the core muscles which together will help in keeping the participants' pelvic floor muscles tighter.
Because Thermage targets the deep layers of skin, the firming email address details are more significant than many other superficial remedies for aging and sun damage. The Federal Reserve uses tight monetary policies to reduce the effects of inflation and tighten the economic market. The Kegelmaster is a patented device used into the treatment of loose vagina, stress and urge incontinence, bladder and uterine prolapse, pelvic pain and female sexual dysfunction. Laser surgery can be used to resurface facial skin with wrinkles brought on by excess sun exposure, crow's feet," and acne scarring. Lastly, use tightening face packs and masks regularly to maintain glowing skin that is firm and supple.
A cosmetic dermatologist can determine the utmost effective laser skin tightening treatment plan for you. Manufactured from a distinctive composition of its meticulously selected ingredients and minerals, it's going to tighten your vagina while simultaneously stimulating the human body cleansing system and regenerating the vagina skin tissue naturally. Also women with loose vagina have reached an increased threat of suffering from bladder control problems as well as problem of bad vaginal odor.
Some patients may only require one Thermage® skin treatment to quickly attain their desired number of skin tightening, while laser skin tightening patients typically require significantly more than one treatment. Product generally seems to be contributing to the elasticity of skin, but not tightening as much as I expected. Also boosts a dull appearance, moisturizes, enhances facial contours, and improves skin tone and color for an overall younger and vital look.
My hubby said that my vagina felt tighter after I applied it (which seems strange, yet really felt wonderful.). Another awesome thing about V-tight Gel is the fact that it was not very messy to use at all, plus it will not ruin your fancy sheets. A loose vagina may also be corrected through douches, that assist restore its lost elasticity and strength. The cream itself is somewhat temporary because the consequences are very fast-acting, but it fades only a little bit as time passes. Doctors simply work on a vagina to make the muscles tighter and improve the entire feeling. While this gel can work by itself, it really works even more quickly when along with the v-tight exercise regime. For the time being you can have a look at our recommendation to get the best vaginal tightening cream.
To tighten your vagina the Acao intravaginal tightening gel will improve the grip of this vagina by strengthening vaginal muscles, tissues and wall, improving blood supply and providing rejuvenation of the vagina. Another good method to tighten your skin is always to use an exfoliating scrub on your own belly when you take a shower. Patients who undergo skin tightening experience not many side effects and they are most often minor inconveniences in the shape of redness or minimal and temporary swelling.
However, in the place of spreading your legs - lit them up ad put the feet on your spouse chest gently and let him rest on your soles.
On a typical, laser skin tightening costs between $450 and $2000 for the complete treatment course, plus some doctors offer package deals for patients who want to cover one or more session at an occasion.
This deep heating stimulates the body's natural skin renewal process, which helps tighten existing collagen while forming new collagen and elastin.
Flabby sagging tummy does not give anyone joy at all; finding a cream that will effectively firm it up could additionally be difficult. For those who have recently lost an important amount of weight and section of your goal is skin tightening, I would take 20 grams of glutamine every day, even on days which you usually do not work out, split it up into 2-4 servings taken on an empty stomach if at all possible to increase absorption. The natural substance stimulates collagen and elastin for the skin to check more vibrant and youthful. The Thermage CPT can also treat poor skin tone in many other areas including wrinkly skin on the stomach after pregnancy and loose skin on the arms or legs. Limitations of this study include the shortcoming to quantitatively measure lower face tightening due to the lack of fixed anatomic landmarks in this region.
