Flashing Spots & Floaters
The majority of the eye is taken up by a jelly like substance called the vitreous. When there are particles present in this part of the eye people may experience something known as floating spots. These are also known as little floaters and can affect vision. They also distract the patient from being able to concentrate on focusing on objects they wish to look at.
As one gets older, these floating spots become more pronounced and, in some cases, can appear to the person as having spider-like appearance. If you notice that the floaters are getting more noticeable you should book an appointment with your local Optometrist immediately.
Another condition some people may experience is flashing or flashes of light. Sometimes migraine can be the cause of this; but if you are seeing flashes accompanied by floaters it could easily be down to a slight tear in the retina area at the back of your eye – if this happens to you, you should contact your optometrist as soon as you can. Loss of vision and long term damage could be experienced if this combination of conditions is ignored.
In severe cases, detachment of the retina can happen. If one suffers a hit to the eye area, a retinal detachment can also occur so a full eye examination would be advised.
Macular Degeneration
The part of the eye that deals with detailed vision is located at the back of the eye and forms the centre part of your eye – this area of the eye is known as the macula.
As with every other part of the body, eventually the macula deteriorates and wears out, this condition is commonly known as Age Related Macular Degeneration. Interestingly, side (peripheral) vision tends to remain the same regardless of whether the patient suffers from macular degeneration but central vision does suffer if one is afflicted with this well known condition.
The initial signs of macular degeneration are:
- Objects and items you focus on become distorted and appear to change shape
- A line or object that is straight is now viewed as being bent or obscured in nature
If you suffer from this eye ailment simple things you take for granted like reading and driving will pose some difficulty than they normally would.
Unfortunately, treatment is limited for suffers with this eye condition but there are ways for people to deal with their ailment – special types of glasses can be acquired and magnifying glasses can also aid the patient when deterioration of the macula has occurred. There are a number of proven treatments for people who have the most severe type of ARMD (wet ARMD) such as Intravitreal Injections.
Also food supplements are available that replace the essential carotenoids at the back of the eye to help maintain eye health into our later years. These would be advised to those who have a family history of Macular Degeneration. If you think that you could be experiencing symptoms of ARMD visit your Optometrist as acting early can prevent further damage to your eyesight.
Glaucoma – Symptoms & Treatment
This well known condition is caused by the fluid levels within the eye, and can damage the optic nerve.
Elevated blood pressure is a common side effect when one experiences Glaucoma and periphery vision can also be affected. Patients in the early stages will tend not to notice these signs as they start off very subtle. The commonest form of glaucoma is usually symptom free until there has been a permanent loss of vision. So early detection by screening is vital.
Your local optician can run a number of tests to detect signs of this eye disease in its infancy, these may include:
- A visual field test
- An eye pressure (intraocular) examination
- Ophthalmoscopy (a test where your optometrist shines a light into your eyes to detect any abnormalities) and Fundus photography (your optometrist can photograph the back of your eyes so any changes at follow up examinations can be picked up)
If your optician suspects that you may be developing glaucoma, they will notify your doctor and refer you to an eye specialist (Ophthalmologist) for further investigation and treatment.
Although the symptoms cannot be reversed, glaucoma can be somewhat controlled by using eye drops or treated using laser surgery. The risk of glaucoma increases with age, but may occur earlier if there is a family history of the disease. It is also more common in people of African or African-Caribbean origin.

Bethlehem Press Assistant Editor, Nate Jastrzemski, gets a journalism degree to further his career
Nate Jastrzemski was already working as a journalist when he came to NCC. But the Bethlehem Press assistant editor wanted a degree, and the proximity and price was a big draw for him.
What he found when he got here was a place to build relationships with professors, many of whom are still friends. "There are some genuinely kind and helpful people who care about their students beyond the classroom," he says.
Nate gets the most job satisfaction from "learning new things and writing a really good story." He even uses his former professors as experts when he needs an academic's opinion for an article.
Nate's advice? "Don't limit yourself in your choices. Take classes that aren't necessarily reflective of your major - you never know when you'll find something that excites you."

Southern Ocean GALLANT53-NOGOLILa Spezia, Italien1972€160.000
A Gentleman's yacht The Gallant 53 was designed by the celebrated naval architect and yacht designer, E.G. Van de Stadt; the culmination of his pioneering work and vast experience in the development of offshore glass fibre yachts for which he became internationally renowned. To many eyes this Van de Stadt design is still one of the most attractive ever conceived with beautiful lines and superb proportions. In 1967 the Gallant 53 was awarded the Lloyd's Register of Shipping 1968 Yacht Trophy for outstanding design, performance and craftsmanship – then universally recognised as the highest distinction any designer and yard may hope to achieve. She was the longest GRP production yacht in her day, but still considered a "Gentleman's yacht". They soon gained a reputation for their good looks, bulletproof construction, superb motion in a seaway and as has been proved, the ease with which they can be handled with a minimum crew. Twenty two were built as ketches or cutter-rigged sloops by Southern Ocean Shipyard Ltd and by Tylers in England from 1967 to 1973.It was (Dame) Naomi James however, who set off from Dartmouth on 9 September 1977 to sail round the world on the Gallant 53 "EXPRESS CRUSADER". During the voyage, she nearly lost her mast, capsized and had no radio for several weeks. Completing the voyage on 8 June 1978 after 272 days, she beat Sir Francis Chichester's then solo round-the-world sailing record by two days, the first woman to sail single-handed around the world via Cape Horn. Nogoli is possibly the best maintained yacht of this prestigious small series . She has had only 2 owners since her launch .

I've been in a bread baking mood these past few weeks, and I happened to chance upon this No-Knead Bread recipe from New York Times. As the name implies, there's no kneading required to make the bread. And as an added bonus, it's a 3-ingredient bread (excluding water, of course!)! I've made this many times these past few weeks, and never have I had any failures, so I would like to think of this as a foolproof bread recipe. It does require 12-18 hours of room temperature incubation. And it also requires something which I don't have in my kitchen, which is a dutch oven casserole. I can, however, make a substitution for that, so it could still come out perfectly. I've also made some small changes to the recipe based on what other people have told me.
- 3 cups AP flour
- 3/4 tsp yeast
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups water (lukewarm)
Sugar is completely optional. The original recipe and most recipe you'll likely found online don't require sugar, but I prefer to add a little bit of sweetness to the bread.
Whisk all the dry ingredients together.
Take 1 1/2 cup of lukewarm water (I just used warm tap water), and stir that together into the dry mixture.
It will look wet and very sticky. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel, and let it rise at room temperature for about 12-18 hours.
After the incubation time, the dough should have risen and will look bubbly. Sprinkle some flour to the dough, then shape the dough into a ball. Place the shaped dough onto a parchment paper, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rest for about 30 minutes. The parchment paper helps to move the rested and risen dough to the hot pan, and also prevents the bottom of the bread from browing too soon.
While the dough is resting, pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees. Inside the pre-heating oven, put a dutch oven casserole or any pan you're using inside. The pan also needs to be pre-heated.
Ideally, a dutch oven casserole or a cast iron pot would be better. I don't have any of those, but I do have this:
This is a cast aluminum cookware which is pretty sturdy and oven safe. I thought it would be a good substitute for cast iron or an enamel pot.
Let the pan (including cover) pre-heat in the pre-heating oven for about 30 minutes while the dough rests.
After the 30 minute rest, take the preheated pan from the oven, then place the parchment paper with the dough on top inside the pan. Cover the pan, then place it back into the oven and let it bake for about 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the cover, and let it continue to bake for another 10-15 minutes or so, until the bread has beautfiully browned and makes a hollow sound.
You are now left with this gorgeous rustic bread which is tasty and chewy in the inside, and with such a wonderful crust outside. It's simply good as it is (especially while warm), but much better with a good quality butter!
There's just no way any one could ever go wrong with this bread. It's very easy to make and doesn't require a lot of ingredients. Not to mention, I would like to think of this as a pretty healty bread (definitely much healthier than the store-bought white loaf!).

Welcome to part eight of this racing concepts series. Remember: the most dangerous words in the English language are "I already know that."
I got this idea from legendary motorsport coach Ross Bentley. This is how he keeps track of tire pressures while racing autocross.
I've added a few components because I like being overly thorough.
Monitoring your tire temperatures and tire pressures is the key to understanding what's really happening with your tires.
To do this you will need three pieces of equipment.
- Tire pressure gauge. Ideally, you'll want to find a digital gauge that can read in half pound increments.If you can find one that reads in tenths, that's even better. You will probably spend $7 to $15 on a decent one.
- 12 volt air compressor. Unless you have deep pockets and a racing trailer, there's really no need to get fancy here.A good quality compressor that you can plug into your car's cigarette adapter will suffice quite nicely.I'm currently using one that cost around $25.
- Pyrometer. Pyrometers measure heat signatures and show you a numeric value in degrees, either Fahrenheit or Celsius.You'll need one of these to note the temperatures across various points on the tire.There are two main types of pyrometers:
- Direct contact. This type uses a probe that you apply directly to the tread of the tire, which then creates a digital readout of the real-time heat signature.Direct contact pyrometers are cheap to buy, but can take up to 20 seconds for the heat of the tire to warm up the probe.By the time you make your way around the car, the tires may have slightly cooled off and you won't get an accurate reading.
- Infrared. This type uses a laser to read temperatures.The results are instant, but the units can be relatively pricey.The infrareds are more versatile, and can also be used to measure brake temperatures, coolant, etc.
- I have used both, and I prefer the infrared type. The infrared unit I'm currently using is $40.
- It's also helpful to have a method of reading ambient air temperature.But since most of us have phones that do that for us, it's unlikely that you'll have to spend money on this.
Collecting Tire Data
- Before you race the car, you'll want to notate the cold tire temperatures (on the tread surface) for reference.If you're starting from scratch, just begin with the manufacturers recommended pressures for your car.You can find these on a sticker in the driver's door jam or in the vehicle maintenance manual.After you've warmed up the tires, whether it's the first run of the day at an autocross event or a few warm up laps on the track, bring your vehicle back to the pit box.
- Measure the temperature of each tire in three locations across the width of the tread–the outer tread, center tread, and inner tread (Figure 20).Make sure that the tread is clean and free of sand or foreign debris or you may not get an accurate reading. A small brush works well to clear the surface.
Because the tires will begin cooling down rather quickly, this is a time sensitive operation.
Go back around to each tire and record the tire pressures.
- Measure the driving surface temperature.Since pavement is comprised of tar and small filler rocks (called aggregate), try to be consistent and measure the black tar.A light colored rock won't show as high a temperature.
- Note the ambient air temperature.
- Depending on your equipment and level of enthusiasm, you should be able to collect 12 tire temperatures, 4 pressures, track temperature, and ambient air temperature in under one minute.
Analyzing Tire Data
Here's where we put everything together.
As we saw in the Tire Management post, your tires will fall into one of three conditions– perfect pressure, underinflated, and overinflated. Let's look at how tire temperatures correspond to tire conditions.
Perfect Tire Pressure (Figure 21)
We know that a perfect pressure allows maximum contact patch across the width of the tire–an even usage over the entirety of the tread.
We can see that a perfect pressure has been reached when the tire temperatures taken at the outer tread, center tread, and inner tread are all within 5 degrees F. This means that each section of the tread is gripping the track an equal amount, which is excellent.
Underinflated Tire (Figure 22)
We also saw in the Tire Management post that an underinflated tire tends to lift the center tread away from the track.
This is apparent when the center tread temperature is more than five degrees cooler than the outer and inner tread.
Overinflated Tire (Figure 23)
The overinflated tire bulges around the circumference and lifts the inner and outer treads away from the driving surface.
Taking tire temperatures will show us that when the outer and inner treads are more than 5 degrees cooler than the center tread, the tire is overinflated.
NOTE: Negative camber is a powerful asset for increasing lateral grip. If your car is camber adjustable, I highly recommend using that to your advantage.
Tires tend to produce the most efficient lateral grip when the top is tilted inward. Temperature readings should be progressively hotter from the inside to the outside in increments of 5 degrees F.
As a general rule, 5 degrees Fahrenheit is equal to 1 pound of air.
FOR EXAMPLE: If the temperatures of an overinflated read 115O/120C/115I, then the tire should be relieved of 1 PSI of air.
If an underinflated tire reads 120O/110C/120I, then 2 PSI should be added.
If the differences are less than 5 degrees I suppose you could experiment with half pounds of air to correct temperature differences of 2.5 degres F, but I haven't found this to be necessary.
Are You Driving The Car Hard Enough?
It's important to know your tires optimal temperature range. To obtain this information you can simply put in a call to your tire manufacturer.
If your temperature readings at the track fall within this range, you're doing great.
If they're low, the tires are still coming up to temperature or you're not driving the car hard enough–it's capable of producing more grip than you're current driving style allows.
Push harder.
If your temperatures are too high, you're over-driving the car (or not allowing the tires to cool between runs).
If you slow down, you'll actually go faster.
If the temperature readings you take at the track fall into the tires optimal performance range, there's a very high probability that you're using the proper slip angle.
High slip angles will show higher temperatures as well. High slip angles will also overheat your tires. The driver is in complete control of this.
Is The Car Balanced?
If your tire temperature readings show that the front tires are consistently hotter than the rear, the car is telling you it has a natural tendency to understeer.
This means that the front tires are using larger slip angles than the rear.
This is common on front wheel drive cars where a large portion of the vehicle weight is over the front tires.
Likewise, if the rear tires are consistently hotter than the front, the car is exhibiting its naturally tendency to oversteer.
This condition shows that the rear tires are either spinning too much under power or the rear slip angles are larger than the front.
It's very common for the left and right side tires of the car to show different temperatures.
On a left turn bias track, such as an oval, most of the cornering force is done by the outside tires.
This causes a higher overall right side temperature. In the same way, a right turn bias road course will produce more heat in the left side tires.
- If you aren't using data to tune your car, you're just guessing. Guessing is the same thing as hoping.
- The driver is responsible for staying within the optimal slip angles of the tire.
- All the data you need to reach peak tire performance can be collected and analyzed in just a couple minutes.
- Use your knowledge of tire temperatures to make logical changes to your car.If they work, great. If they don't, go back to where you started and try something else.Trying new things is the key to progression.
NEXT WEEK: Driver Improvements
The next part in this series is only a week away. Go back and read through this again. Make sure you truly understand what you just saw, because the series progressively builds as it continues.

The verdict came in an Androgel lawsuit brought by Arthur Myers, who suffered a bilateral pulmonary embolism in February 2008, which he alleged were caused by the unnecessary use of the low-testosterone drug. Following a two week
The case is part of an on-going series of early "bellwether" trials scheduled in the federal testosterone drug litigation, which are designed to help gauge how juries may respond to certain evidence and testimony that is likely to be repeated throughout thousands of Androgel cases pending in the federal court system.
Each of the claims raise similar allegations that AbbVie failed to adequately warn about the risk of heart attacks, strokes and other blood clot injuries linked to Androgel.
Given similar questions of fact and law raised in each case against AbbVie, as well as similar claims against the makers of competing testosterone replacement drugs, the federal litigation has been centralized before U.S. District Judge Matthew Kennelly in the Northern District of Illinois for coordinated discovery and management.
Trial began in the Myers case on May 7, with the jury returning a verdict (PDF) in favor of AbbVie yesterday.
The drug maker's win comes after several other juries returned multi-million dollar awards in prior cases. In October 2017, a jury awarded $140 million in damages to a man who suffered a heart attack on Androgel, and last month another jury awarded $3.2 million, after an initial verdict of $150 million was overturned on post-trial motions.
Another bellwether case is set for trial to begin next month against AbbVie, and another 19 trial dates are set between October 2018 and March 2019.
While the outcomes of these bellwether trials are not binding on other plaintiffs, they are being closely watched and may have a significant influence on eventual testosterone settlements that may avoid the need thousands of individual cases to go to trial nationwide.

Syrian reporter – M.Najjar
While fierce battles are raging between the FSA units and ISIS, The Kurdish YPG militias are enjoying peace with the terrorists of ISIS in the northern countryside of Aleppo.
More than a month of peace has passed on the contact lines between the YPG and ISIS after the advance of the YPG last month and taking control of several towns and villages which were under the control of the FSA units, the sword enemies for both ISIS and Assad, on the pretext of expansion to fight ISIS on the other side.
By the support of supply of Russian ammunition through the regime of Assad, and dozens of Foreign airstrikes (some were reported by the Russians to be American fighter jets), these militias walked into the towns and villages of Deir Jemal and Tal Refaat towards Ihras and Kafar Nasih which are bordering the ISIS-controlled areas in the northern region of Aleppo. It was surprising to many that these militias stopped there without any single bullet being fired against ISIS. The reality was that these militias moved north towards the FSA-controlled areas in the towns of Mare and Azaz, but the popular FSA units were able to thwart the militia's incursion.
More than a month had passed without any reports of clashes on the contact lines between the sectarian extremists who occupied the towns of Kafar Nasih and Tal Refaat and the Islamist extremists who already occupied the villages in Tel Susin and Herbel in the same region. At the same time, the local FSA units –composed of Arabs, Kurds, and Turkmen- are fighting ISIS day and night over the last three years without any international covering for that.
During the last week, these FSA units took control of the villages of Doudian, Mregel, Jdayde, Kara Kobri, and Toqli which were occupied by ISIS. During the liberation process, several fighters were either killed or wounded defending their land against all extremist projects, sectarian or religious, without being labeled as heroes by anyone. Rather, these rebel units were shocked by the tremendous support given to the Kurdish militias for the sake of occupying their own towns.
Whilst the international media is totally absent in covering the 3-years raging and continuous FSA battles against ISIS, that media is found to be cheering for the recent victories of the Kurdish racist militia /YPG/. Victories which are no more than pedestrian groups walking without any clashes to occupy Arab lands after being pounded and burnt by an air force. More recently, these airstrikes facilitated their way to walk into an already safe and liberated territory which was under the control of local FSA units. That irresponsible action caused the displacement of the inhabitants of these towns to the olive fields near the Turkish borders, for the sake of supporting this militias who walked into the homes of deported civilians to loot their homes, and perhaps even to change the demographic structure later on.
Those militia have a history in practices similar to the surprising policies of the Assad regime, particularly leveling towns, kidnapping opponents and blowing up their homes, burning crops, and pillaging the deserted towns.
After the control of the Kurdish groups over the towns of Deir Jamal and Tal Refaat and the surrounding villages, it was not surprising to many that this militia started practicing their activities of pillaging flour and relief warehouses, bakeries, medical clinics, and electric generators, in addition to seizing private properties as well leveling houses in the village of Ayn Daqna, according to reports by Massoud Ibo who is a well known Kurdish activist opposing both the Assad regime and the militia of YPG
During the last two weeks, several civilian protests took out to the streets of Aleppo, Azaz and Mare raising the Syrian Independence Flag and condemning JAN, ISIS, YPG, and the Assad regime. According to these civilians, all these enemies are similar when it comes to practices and ideologies.
Wasn't it more practical for the democratic world to support moderate diversifies units in this region to fight the diversified forms of extremism instead of supporting a racist militia linked directly to the Syrian regime? What pretext and what reason is used by those who claim to support the Syrian Revolution by supporting racist groups and featuring them as… heroes!

Awareness : Identity Theft
Identity Theft
Identity theft is the criminal use of someone else's personally identifying information to commit fraud or other crimes.
Your informational fingerprint—data such as your Social Security number, bank account or credit card number, insurance policy number, and other valuable information—could be used by someone else to profit at your expense. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) estimates that nine million Americans have their identities stolen each year.
In this section you can learn about three types of identity theft. They include:

inflammationof the gallbladder.
from WordNet 3.0 Copyright 2006 by Princeton University. All rights reserved.
- noun inflammation of the gall bladder
Sorry, no etymologies found.
A complication such as cholecystitis is quite common.
Belly pain that gets better in two hours was something like indigestion; belly pain that starts causing vomiting in two hours may be pancreatitis, appendicitis or cholecystitis -- to name just a few members of the 'itis' clan.
Medicare records don't reveal many clinical details, such as how long patients waited to present their acute cholecystitis to the hospital or the specific reasons a doctor gave for delaying surgery.
Researchers analyzed Medicare data for nearly 30,000 patients hospitalized with one of the most common complications, gallbladder inflammation known as acute cholecystitis.
Medical examination carried out at the end of June - beginning of July 2009 revealed gallbladder stones and pancreatitis and calculous cholecystitis were diagnosed.
The classic symptom of an inflamed gallbladder (cholecystitis) is sharp right upper quadrant pain that may radiate to the right shoulder or right back.
It turns out that Mrs. Oldilocks has cholecystitis nlm, which means that her gall bladder is inflamed and might need to come out.
grey's anatomy recap : fate is a cruel mistress (season 2, episode 8) | Seattle Metblogs
Dietary and other habits that promote the formation of gallstones are therefore likely causes of cholecystitis also.
TREATMENT: Conventional physicians have found surgical removal of the gallbladder the "easiest" solution for both cholecystitis and gallstones; the body seems to get along just as well without this organ.
This postulate gives us the key to the pain-muscular phenomena of peritonitis, pleurisy, cystitis, cholecystitis, etc., as well as to the pain-muscular phenomena in obstructions of the hollow viscera.
"I probed for the gallbladder, just in case, wondering as I did just what I would do, should it prove to be an acute attack of cholecystitis or an inflamed appendix. I could envision the cavity of the belly in my mind, as though it lay open in fact before me, my fingers translating the soft, lump shapes beneath the skin..."

Nice is a beautiful city full of sunshine, brightly colored buildings and a sparkling sea. While most of the city is picture perfect, we picked 10 of the most instagramable spots in Nice to help make your Instagram account pop. Check out some of our favorite Nice, France photos to inspire your visit.
Castle Hill
Are you following us on Instagram?
Head up to Castle Hill (La Colline de Château) for sweeping views over the city of Nice and the Mediterranean Sea. It's one of the most photographed locations, so don't miss snapping a photo or three from this vantage point.
Flower Power on Castle Hill
During the Spring and Summer, the flowers will be in full bloom on Castle Hill. This photo was taken next to the Archeological site.
#ILoveNice Sign on the Promenade des Anglais
The #ILoveNice sign is great for any Instagram account. You don't want to miss the brightly colored sign with the blue backdrop of sea and sky. You can even get a shot sitting in the "c" to add more personality to the photo.
Blue Chairs on the Promenade des Anglais
The iconic blue chairs (chaises bleues) on the Promenade des Anglais make a nice change to your grid. Take the photo from behind looking at the sea or at an angle looking down the chairs.
The Beach
It's not possible to visit Nice without spending some time on the pebbled beach. Take photos of the pebbles, of the stripped umbrellas set up at the restaurants during the summer or just a photo of the kids as they stroll along the shore.
Cours Saleya Market
The striped awnings and brilliantly colored fresh fruits and vegetables make a lovely photo. Just ask for permission before you start snapping away at the stalls.
Streets of Old Town – Rue Saint-Hospice
There are so many lovely streets in Old Town (Vieux Ville), that it's difficult to select favorites. The photo above is taken on Rue Saint-Hospice.
Another lovely street view in Old Nice is looking down Rue Rossetti. Take the photo walking down from Castle Hill while completing our Nice, France Family Guide.
Colorful Fishing Boats at the Port
The colorful fishing boats, Pointus, in the Port of Nice are often missed by visitors. Head to the opposite side of the port from Old Town to Quai des Deux Emmanuels to find these boats docked together.
Another great angle to capture the boats can be seen here.
Niçoise Cuisine
Foodies may want to include some tasty treats from the French Riviera. Snap photos of the Salade Niçoise, baguettes, socca, ice cream or enjoying a glass of rosé.
Not sure what foods to try? We have a list of the 10 must try foods in Nice to help you eat your way through the city.
Views from Cimiez

Brazilian women open their campaign with a win
Marta (foreground)
The Brazilian Women's team opened up their World Cup campaign with a 2-0 win against South Korea in a match where records tumbled.
Veteran Formiga opened the scoring for Brazil in the 33rd minute with a strike which made her the oldest goalscorer in the tournament's history. The 37 year old took advantage of an error by the Korean defence to slot home.
Formiga also played a part in the second goal as she was fouled in the penalty area in the 53rd minute. Five time world player of the year Marta confidently dispatched the spot kick to set a record of her own. The strike was Marta's 15th World Cup goal which makes her the record goalscorer in the competition.
Brazil are now top of the group and next face Spain on Saturday.

The time to travel during summer is very good and necessary. Why use a back pack only? When you travel with many stuffs, what will your travel be like? Will it be an enjoyable one or just tiring yourself from carrying lots of stuffs? This is why you should minimize your stuffs by just bringing a backpack with the necessary things only in it like water, towel and your first aid kit.
There are many times that you have to travel with many things but you must find a place where you would leave those stuffs first before going on a journey to a mountain, beach, park or anywhere you want to go.
Actually, when you only have a backpack with you, you will really be a person who is on travel by necessity. The feeling is cool when you just put on a backpack. There is an emotion that being a traveler should know what to bring first.
At the same time., you can not be traveling without a backpack because there are things that you might bring from your destination or even from your way. It is not necessary how you will be traveling as long as you have a backpack on your shoulder. This applies to male and female travelers. Sometimes, I see travelers with super big backpacks that a 7 year old kid can be put in. Sometimes I wonder what they put on them. This frightened me before thinking that they might be bringing such super bag to catch kids. Just as I said earlier, the stuffs I brought can be brought to a house where it temporarily stay so that it will not be hindrance to to storing things from your journey.

Really fabulous place to stay if you're looking to go back in time with all the comforts you need for today! Quaint rooms, neat and tidy presentation and really well finished. The cosy fire, welcome pack and friendly owners make it extra personal! I would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone for a relaxing weekend away or to explore northern ireland. Thanks so much for a great stay.
"First Class Accommodation. Enchanting and welcoming."
Reviewed for a stay in June 2015 (Angela, Sean & Amy - Portlaoise)
Absolutely beautiful cottage with old world charm at the same time as having modern conveniences seamlessly blended together. We were enchanted with the cottage itself and the surroundings. Top class accommodation with a wonderful warm welcome, it's not always the case that the property lives up to the advertised pictures but this one certainly did. The owners could not have been more welcoming, leaving the fire ready to light and a welcome hamper with goodies for all the family on the table, so thoughtful. Communication was also excellent. Lots of outdoor space for children, a place for your dog if you need it. Spotless inside and out, I really do think this is the nicest accommodation we have ever stayed in! I would recommend it to any age group. Lots of beautiful scenery nearby and the people in the nearest village are friendly and hospitable too. Can't say enough positive things about this cottage!
"Home From Home" Aaron + 3 friends -Tandragee) Reviewed for a stay in May 2015
Where do we start. Can not praise this lovingly restored cottage high enough. Beautifully decorated to the highest spec but still retaining its wonderful charm. From a lovely warm welcome , to the homemade soda waiting on the table. Wonderful location between Omagh & Cookstown, plenty to see & do. We will be booking a longer stay next time round. Highly recommend for families, couples , groups of young friends. Perfect , well done Margaret and Eamon a real credit to you.
"Beautiful and charming cottage" Kathy & Cam, Perth, Australia Reviewed for a stay in April 2015
We stayed at Cobblers Cottage a week prior to our wedding in Tyrone and it was the perfect setting to relax. it is simply a beautiful, charming and quaint cottage. The effort and labour of love that has gone into the cottage refurbishment is evident and it is so tastefully decorated. Margaret and Eamon are wonderful hosts and greeted us upon arrival. Then the cottage is exclusively yours to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the Tyrone countryside. We truly enjoyed our week stay at the cottage and would highly recommend without a doubt. Margaret's home made Irish bread was a wonderful surprise as well :) Thanks for such a beautiful stay!

text: Timageness Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) Review Topic Prologue Makuhero City has fallen.History had recorded the era as a time of peace, a time where beings, both organic and mechanical, lived together in equal parts harmony and prosperity. Crime in the galaxy had been at an all time low, even on planets such as Mechna, which were once notorious for acting as breeding grounds for all manner of criminal activity. For a while, it seemed like the biggest concern of the period was the rising tensions between the robots and the indigenous species they were beginning to outnumber, but even that too died down after a number of years.And then the infection changed everything.What started off as the anouncement of a radical new breakthrough in the field of medical technology would soon turn into a tragedy. Civilians, the press, and government officials gathered to witness the unveiling of Hermes One, a revolutionary new revitalisation chamber designed by Makuro Industries to repair any and all damage, no matter the composition of the recipient. By integrating a swarm of programmable nanobots into an injured subject's system, the device could then command them to reconfigure themselves in order to perfectly replicate or repair missing or damaged mechanical components, or even supercharge cell replication in organics, essentially using their own natural healing processes for the purposes of reversing organ damage and even regenerating lost limbs. Despite the fact that further clinical testing would still be required before it could enter mass production, the news that hospitals all across the known galaxy would soon have this technology at their disposal was understandably well received.That is, until the miniature reactor powering the machine overloaded, triggering a catastrophic meltdown that both flooded the surrounding area with massive amounts of radiation and reduced it to little more than a smoldering crater.Disgraced by the public outcry over the incident, Akiyama Makuro quickly withdrew himself from society shortly after evacuation efforts had been completed, though whether it was because he secretly blamed himself or because he desired to avoid it altogether remains unclear. With the death toll confirmed to be in the hundreds, and thousands more either suffering from it's aftereffects or in need of relocation, the Hermes One Tragedy soon became the largest disaster ever to be recorded within the Makuhero Belt. Years passed, monuments were constructed to honor the casualties, and the destruction was eventually repaired, but the event still left its mark on the hearts and minds of the people, both native and tourist alike.But despite the fact that most had moved on and put the past behind them, the horror was far from over.On the morning of the tragedy's six-year anniversary, television and radio broadcasts across the galaxy were hijacked by an unknown individual, identifying themselves only by the alias of The Puppeteer. At first, they spoke as if they were paying their respects to the victims, leading many to initially believe what they were seeing to be a sponsored memorial tribute of sorts, even though all efforts to trace the source of the transmission by local authorities came up empty. After they had started going into great detail about the technical specifications of Hermes One, however, it soon became clear that this was not the case. Announcing that the "accident" had actually been secretly orchestrated well outside of the public eye and that the reactor installed had been meticulously designed to malfunction, they then revealed the true purpose behind engineering the disaster, and why they had delayed taking responsibility for the attack up until now; they were waiting for the nanobots to spread.Having previously been programmed to begin replicating themselves within a suitable host body, the fallout from the devastation then went to work carrying them throughout most of Makuhero City, and further modifications to the swarm had left them nigh-undetectable via standard medical equipment. Their advanced design, combined with the reality that they had not been initially designed for such a purpose, resulted in the process advancing extraordinarily slowly to the point where weeks had passed before they could reasonably begin their mission to start jumping from person to person, but it had been well worth the wait. By now, most of the city's populace had become infected, and since the contagion had not yet become public knowledge, carriers had unknowingly brought them into contact with beings located all across the galaxy via the usage of interplanetary travel, but the kicker had yet to come.Deciding that the birthplace of the tragedy would be a fitting place to begin their new reign of terror, the feed suddenly cut to the cameras located in the streets of Makuhero City without warning, setting the stage for what was to come next.The first being to succumb to their activation expired particularly gruesomely, his nanobots devouring him from the inside out until nothing remained of his corpse. Others immediately afterwards became rabid, causing them to turn on the rest and attack random people with whatever they could get their hands on. One organic grew three times their size, their skin taking on the texture and toughness of boulders before effortlessly tossing a shuttle bus into the third floor of a nearby building. The few who were lucky enough to remain uninfected were forced to flee for their lives, taking shelter wherever they could in an attempt to escape from the chaos surrounding them, only to be met with limited success. Within the hour, several off-world emergency response teams had been deployed to the city, most of which found themselves simply overwhelmed as they too became victims of a situation they never had the chance to prepare for. People across the galaxy who were watching the livestream began to riot, fearing that their homes would be the villain's next target, and governments everywhere knew that they had to act fast before their respective populations suffered the same fate.Representatives of numerous worlds convened for an entire week, their location kept a closely guarded secret out of fear of reprisal, yet they still failed to produce an agreeable course of action. Some called for massive evacuations, only to be immediately shot down as it didn't matter where they planned to flee to, since any atmospheric body in range of their communication systems would be fair game to attack. A few called for military action, though this notion too was vetoed as the possibility of their own soldiers being affected and causing even more damage still remained, not to mention that they still lacked the wherabouts of their attacker's location. One even suggested attempting to establish contact and negotiating with The Puppeteer, but the amount of people willing to humor that idea were even less than the ones willing to speak of it. Days passed by with similar results, leading some to lose hope that a solution would ever present itself.This would change, however, shortly after Akiyama Makuro's arrival.While initially reluctant to here what he had to say, the entire room soon fell silent upon hearing that he had come prepared with an ace up his sleeve. Seeking to restore his ruined reputation, he revealed that the reactor powering Hermes One had secretly contained a substance known as Quaza, a crystal with energy storing properties many decades ago, and had been using as a component for the batteries in his company's products ever since. What made this material special in this specific case was that any energy being channeled through it emerged purer than when it had originally entered, leaving less of a long-term effect on individuals exposed to it, provided that it was in a raw, unaltered form. This quality was exactly the reason why he had chosen to incorporate the material into his invention to begin with, as so long as the nanobots maintained an opposing charge, the energy field that the device had projected would allow injured beings to safely pass through it without sustaining any further damage while simultaneously containing the active swarm inside of the device itself. Phase One of his plan involved the construction of devices utilising this energy as a means of quarantining the populace at large while preventing the infection from being activated by an outside frequency.Phase Two, on the other hand, required him to resurrect an idea he had long since set aside due to the era of relative prosperity that had befallen them; the mass production of Quaza-powered peacekeepers, originally designed to aid law enforcement all over the galaxy, who would possess a natural immunity to the machines now threatening their very existence. By extension, these beings could go where others could not while also possessing a greater chance of combating The Puppeteer directly and stopping them once and for all, as the stone's involvement was never directly mentioned within Hermes One's schematics. A few of the representatives initially objected to this idea, citing that no singular being should possess control over what could essentially become an army, but with little other options at their disposal, the majority of them had no choice but to agree.With funding from numerous planetary governments at his disposal and the restoration of his company's assets, two organisations quickly sprung forth from the ether, both in an an effort to combat The Puppeteer's villainy and to eradicate it once and for all. The first, known as Justice Apex and led by Makuro's own protégé, Nessia Vontillius, was responsible for providing worlds with the technology necessary to defend themselves with in secret, and for monitoring feeds in order to track the nanobot activation signals back to their source. The second, dubbed Hero Factory by Akiyama himself, went to work creating their agents and running them through vigorous training simulations in preparation for the battles to come. Working as swiftly and as diligently as they could to protect the galaxy and its inhabitants, the fate of both robots and organics were resting upon their shoulders, driving their every move as they marched on to face their ultimate destinies.But deep down, however, all they could do was hope that their efforts would not be in vain.

Email (required)
While micro-needling is a relatively safe procedure, it is important that our patients stay well informed prior, during and after they are treated. There are many questions to be asked before committing. Here you will find a list of our most frequently asked questions along with detailed answers straight from our office. Although we have provided frequent questions, we are always available to answer any questions that re not listed here. Please fill out the contact form on the right, or call us at 716-688-0020 for further information. We proudly provide micro-needling to Buffalo & all of WNY!
What can micro-needling treat?
Micro-needling can treat fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, hyper-pigmentation and skin texture by stimulating the skin's natural ability to produce new collagen formation creating healthier skin.
How long does treatment take?
Treatment time ranges from 15-30 minutes per area depending on the area.
When will results be visible?
Results can be seen after the first treatment, and results improve with each additional treatment.
Is there any pain with micro-needling treatment?
Depending on the area being treated and the aggressiveness of treatment, there can be some slight discomfort during the procedure. A topical anesthetic can be applied 15-20 minutes prior and is removed before the micro-needling treatment begins to help alleviate discomfort.
What are the immediate after effects of micro-needling?
Redness, or erythema, of the skin can appear, as well as possible pinpoint bleeding. The severity of erythema depends on how aggressive the treatment was performed and individual skin type. You can resume normal activity immediately after the procedure including driving yourself home. Minimal swelling may occur and be more noticeable on the second day.
How many micro-needling treatments will I need?
Benefits of the micro-needling can be seen after just one treatment. It is recommended that 3-6 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, are performed for maximum results. In cases where a more aggressive treatment schedule is needed such as acne scar revision, a greater number of treatments may be necessary for maximum results. Consult with one of our practitioners.

Get updates impacting your industry from our GigaOm Research Community
By the time the Federal Trade Commission stopped accepting public comments on its proposed behavioral targeting rules Friday afternoon, officials had only 31 submissions displayed on its website. Hardly the deluge that was predicted, but perhaps the agency was still getting caught up. As for what was listed there, predictably, businesses asked the FTC to continue allowing the industry to self-police; just as predictably, privacy advocates sought tighter control and greater clarity on the part of sites that collect user data for ad targeting.
— Protecting industry by defending consumers: Late that day, we were alerted to two separate letters submitted to the FTC from the Online Publishers Association and the Magazine Publishers of America, which offered a note of support to the former's recommendations. Both industry organizations pleaded with federal regulators to avoid "overbroad regulation." In its eight-page missive, the OPA urged the commission to reject calls to transform its behavioral targeting principles into de facto legal strictures. The OPA tried to couch its recommendations as a defense of consumer choice, saying strict enforcement of its draft proposal could dampen web publishers' ability to offer a variety of features to its users. In particular, the OPA says limiting the use of cookies would only frustrate consumers who count on the web pages they visit regularly to remember their settings. Furthermore, the OPA asserts that cookies actually reduce a user's repeated exposure to a single ad or advertiser, because sites want to show consumers a greater variety of targeted messages.
— The Beacon defense: The OPA's letter also invoked vague First Amendment concerns, saying tougher rules would constitute interference with publishers' right to select the content that appears on their sites. Facebook's Beacon experience was also mentioned as proof that the public itself represents a powerful enforcement body, since the social net quickly modified the way its ad program uses personal information after a storm of protest erupted last fall over that feature's introduction.
— News.com: With behavioral ads under greater assault by regulators and legislators, internet companies are aligning to fight back. As we mentioned earlier, Google (NSDQ: GOOG), Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO), AOL (NYSE: TWX), Facebook, Comcast (NSDQ: CMCSA) and others have banded together to fight a proposed bill in the New York State Legislature that would curtail their ability to gather user data.
Apart from that effort, another industry union, the Network Advertising Initiative, which is comprised of AOL Platform-A units Advertising.com and Tacoda, Yahoo's BlueLithium, and Google's DoubleClick, has published a collective answer to the FTC's proposed regs. The group believes that a method allowing users to "opt-out" of sites' ad targeting features goes just far enough. But privacy advocates contend that giving the users the more active choice to "opt-in" would promise advertisers more willing subjects, while protecting those who weren't aware their information was being collected.

Turn your fashion experience into a profitable business with Solo Build It
As the owner of a modeling site, some of the most asked questions that I get are about child modeling and "how to get children into the modeling profession."
My answer is always the same: "Sorry, but we really specialize in Fashion Models, not children's modeling..."
And children's modeling is filled with pitfalls for unsuspecting parents. No matter how cute and/or talented
your child is, it's really easy to get things terrible wrong.
Because this is not one of our specialties, I always encourage parents to learn
as much about the child modeling industry as they can before they do anything else.
To learn a large part of what you'll need to know before you get started, I highly recommend
Child Models - Your Little Super
The author, Renee Lauren brings real world experience as a former model. You can cut through all of the mystery of child modeling with this book. Try it; I know you'll learn a LOT.
I really hope this helps,
