While wrinkles of any kind would irk even the most confident woman, the Age-Defying Eye Wrinkle Correcting Laser targets a particularly sensitive area. One of the first places to show the wear and tear of time is around the eyes and this beauty device helps ensure that is kept at bay. It even helps to reverse any damage done.
Created by Tria, the Age-Defying Eye Wrinkle Correcting Laser uses thousands of microscopic laser lights to penetrate into the skin, which triggers a natural process of cell renewal for a brighter and more youthful appearance. Safe for all skin tones and types, this device speaks to mature women who are looking for something extra in their beauty routine yet are not willing to dish out the extra cash on actual spa treatments.

A coma is an extended period of unconsciousness. A coma rarely lasts longer than several weeks, but a prolonged coma can become a persistent vegetative state.
Comas can result from a variety of causes, including head injuries, strokes, traumatic head injury, brain tumor, drugs or alcohol, or an underlying illness, such as diabetes or an infection.
The primary symptom of coma is prolonged unconsciousness.
Treating a coma starts with identifying the cause of it. Physicians normally order blood tests and computed tomography (CT) scans to identify what's causing the coma. Further treatment options vary, depending on the cause of the coma.
Vidant Health can connect you to health care professionals to help you understand your condition and guide you through the treatment process. Let's chat.

As you've probably heard, I've left my job as a community manager and UX expert at Zemanta. It has been an incredible ride these two years and I can say that I'm now fully sold at the idea of startup business lifestyle.
Last three months in San Francisco were a great finish of this adventure, giving me time to think and reflect on how I want to expand my professional career. I realized that lately I wasn't doing much of the things I love most: product development in every form – from designing, user experience, coding and of course interacting with users once we can get it to them.
With this in mind, the decision was simple. It's time to find the next startup that I can help or found a new one, using some of the prototypes and ideas that are floating around.
I don't have any concrete plans as of yet, as I plan to first help some friends with their projects and clean my backlog of things that I volunteered for and never got a chance to get around to. There will also be a lot of running as I prepare for my half-marathon.
If you have an interesting project, lets talk. I can't wait to see to which city and continent the future will take me.

|One of my two favorite mixed restaurants in PA, besides Bangkok Cuisine. My omnivore friends like this place a lot. The baba ghanoush is apparently made with yogurt, so vegans should ask for a substitute like extra hummus which they've been doing for me. Very nice family restaurant environment. Vegetarians can enjoy some nice looking desserts, which I have not tried.

|Very veg-friendly and no doubt some of the best food in town! Try the Vegetarian Couscous, Mujadarah (rice and lentil), and the Vegatarian Bamieh ala-edamaha (Okra). The Vegetarian Combo is a colorful combination of hummus, falafel, tabouleh, baba ghanoush, dolma, and meditteranean salad. The restaurant can replace yogurt with hummus or falafel in most dishes. The lentil soup is the best!

Mind Divination - Nelson
Mind Divination - Nelson
Product ID: 3415
Here is a routine that we sincerely concede as being the best all-around modus operandi ever offered to the professional!
The effect is as follows: the performer passes out small cards on which spectators are requested to write a question and sign their full name.
The completed cards are collected by the performer, slipped in to small envelopes and sealed. On returning to the stage, the performer places the first envelope to his forehead and the question therein is answered.
At the conclusion of the answer, the envelope's end is removed, the card withdrawn and immediately returned to the original writer without an exchange of any kind!
In this manner, every question is answered, and in its proper sequence.
NO surreptitious apparatus of any description is used (you may perform this in bathing trunks - but we don't recommend it!). No confederates or assistants need be employed – it is a genuine one-man feature. No switch or exchange of questions takes place at any time - and the original billets never leave the audience's sight for an instant.
No palming (as you have nothing to palm), no sleights or suspicious moves and your hands NEVER approach your body. No reading "one ahead" or "one behind" as every question is answered in its proper sequence.
No dummy questions or plants. The envelopes used are of the ordinary wages' envelope type and are perfectly opaque.
Cards, envelopes and scissors are the ONLY properties employed during the entire presentation. At the conclusion you have nothing to get rid of; all you possess is a pair of scissors and a stunned audience (and stage crew!).
May be performed with equal success in front of a small or large audience, on stage, parlour or for private work.
A complete routine involving a NEW principal that is extremely practical, reliable and fool proof. Its operation is simplicity itself, and may be presented in its entirety a few minutes after our instructions are digested. The effect is truly a masterpiece and is most heartily recommended to anyone contemplating this line of work.
With this marvellous routine and instructions you have a complete act suitable for any theatre in the country, or it may be used in conjunction with other features. This is a one-man act, but assistants may be employed in the actual modus operandi with great success if desired.
Not only is Mind Divination one of the greatest stage acts of its kind, but also a wonderful unsurpassed act for private clairvoyant work. You could not wish for (and receive) a better method of getting the spectator's information for private office work; Mind Divination fills a two-fold purpose for stage and private engagements.
It is the one great test that convinces, every stage performer and every private reader should know and perform Mind Divination, do it anywhere, any time; it will answer a thousand demands.
Comes with the complete routine with lecture, additional tests, and presentation. Use your own cards & envelopes.
Only £14.99

The Lonely Roots of the World's Biggest Online Shopping Day
China shattered the record for the most ecommerce sales in a day on Monday, on what is known in the nation as "Singles Day." It's perhaps best described as some combination of a reverse-Valentine's Day and Cyber Monday, the day of online shopping that follows Thanksgiving.
Chinese citizens had no trouble setting a new ecommerce mark, a fact attributed to the country's rapid growth in online shopping. Alibaba, China's largest ecommerce company, hit the equivalent of $3.1 billion in sales by around 1 p.m. local time, according to CNBC, and total company sales amounted to about $5.75 billion. The afternoon sales figures equaled the total amount of sales on Alibaba's websites in 2012, and that much cash alone was nearly double the amount of money U.S. citizens spent on last year's Cyber Monday.
Singles Day, which always lands on Nov. 11—or 11/11—draws attention to the number one. But it's more about escaping the number rather than celebrating it. In the days leading up to the holiday, the top trending topic on China's Twitter-like site, Sina Weibo, was "Help Your Roommate Find Someone." More than 200,000 people jumped in on the conversation.
College students started the tradition about 20 years ago because they were tired of conforming to the idea that much of life was centered around finding a mate and settling down. That idea turned into a marketable one and, in 2010, Singles Day evolved into a day of unprecedented country-wide shopping sprees.
Online retailers employ traditional tricks such as edging their prices upward before the holiday in preparation for massive discounts. Amazon sold items this year for up to 90% off, and products on multiple sites included boyfriend body pillows and hoodies that read "I am single because I am fat."
Despite the finger-blistering pace of online shopping this Singles Day, it is only expected to increase. The percentage of people who have Internet access in China is still low compared with the U.S., which means the online shopping holiday has plenty of room for growth. This could set the stage for an ecommerce market that may smash records for years to come.

I haven't blogged in over a month. And almost every day I've thought to myself 'I'm going to blog today' … and then haven't. On the plus side, I now have LOTS to blog about. (Translation: a long list of excuses for why I haven't blogged.) (DW – I've added lots of cute cat pictures so you don't get bored!)
Term 2 is now well underway; it's both better and more effort than the first term. Better because we're learning about the body systems rather than all the boring A-level-with-added-enzymes stuff we did last term. More effort because we've had loads of assignments.

Sorry, no etymologies found.
He pictured to himself a cross-section through that brain, painted neatly with grey water-colour on a sheet of paper stretched on a drawing-board with drawing pins.
I showed him some water-colour drawings of men and women of great beauty, and with very singular halos about their heads, which had been drawn and painted from visions by a certain Irish poet20 who, if he lives, will have seen as many wonders as Swedenborg; and rather to my surprise, for I had thought the paintings too idealised for a peasant to understand, he became evidently excited.
An Oslo gallery has banned Swedish artist Lars Vilks from exhibiting water-colour caricatures of the Muslim prophet Muhammad.
With the paper, there fell out on the counterpane of the bed a small packet of sticking-plaster, and a little water-colour drawing of a landscape.
The scene of the moorland and the fields was like a feeble water-colour drawing half sponged out.
I have to tell you, first, that the medical student turned out to be strangely and unaccountably right in assuming it as more than probable that Arthur Holliday would marry the young lady who had given him the water-colour drawing of the landscape.
Although this experimentation is common in the U.K., this is a shocking sight for a Greek audience that has grown accustomed to the expressive oil, acrylic and water-colour paintings featured in most galleries.
A water-colour portrait of this object of her affections was kept by her in a secret drawer.
The portrait was a water-colour, painted rather unskilfully by a lady who had been a neighbour of hers; but the likeness, as every one declared, was a striking one.
He had furnished them in an antique manner, with hangings, cabinets, carved work, Venice glasses, fine prints, and water-colour sketches of good pictures by his own and other hands.

Every since the release of the Apple Watch back in 2014, analysts have speculated about supply and demand of the smartwatch. It's faced rave reviews from some and criticism from others. This year's WWDC keynote yielded another similar gadget, the HomePod. According to an article I found on Marketwatch, the demand for both these devices is actually quite high. Some analysts did a survey and found 19% of those surveyed plan to purchase a HomePod and 12% claim they'll be purchasing an Apple Watch this year. Apparently Apple's customers like these products more than we've been led to believe.
Apple HomePod & Watch Are In High Demand

Is there a difference between holidays in the UK and holidays abroad? Really? Reckon you can tell the difference? I challenge you, because it appears I can't.
Parkdean have a competition to win a seven-night holiday at one of their 24 award winning holiday parks situated in some of the UK's best coastal and country locations. It's a really fun competition, in which you compare a series of pairs of pictures and try to guess which one is in the UK.
I scored only 220, the leaderboard records 990 as the top score, so perhaps it isn't so easy to tell the UK and abroad apart after all. There are some really stunning coastal scenes to compare, see if you know your Newquay from your Nice. When you enter the quiz don't forget to sign in with Facebook, Twitter or Google Plus to be in a chance of winning the 7 night break.
This morning on the way to school I got chatting to another mum about the pressure to take kids abroad. We laughed about how we'd both done loads of holidays in the UK as kids, me in a tent, she in a narrowboat. The childhood memories we have are priceless.
When I was about 8 one of my classmates went to Spain and brought back a fan for me. I thought it was the most amazing gift, it was black plastic with lace and pictures of flamenco dancers. I thought is was so exotic. Spain became and obsession in my mind. When I discovered the fan had cost her less than a pound I was beside myself. I complained bitterly to my parents. Why did we never go to Spain?
Now I look back I see my parents took me to some amazing places. I have magical memories of beach holidays in Dorset, Northumberland, Scotland and Wales. We did go to Spain eventually, but to some remote Northern part, it certainly didn't sell flamenco fans. I did return as an 17 year old, to Majorca, on an 18-30s, just to check what I had been missing. I could have saved myself a fortune and gone to Newquay, for all the culture I absorbed on that trip!
As a grown up I've loved discovering Devon and Cornwall, where my husband holidayed as a child. Now we live in the Midlands, Norfolk has opened up to us. There is so much of the UK still to discover.
Tell me about your favourite holidays in the UK, where do you like to go?
In partnership with Parkdean.

Lakota East's Dustin Horter is the D1 Ohio outdoor state champion in the 1600m event.
Three Ohio athletes will be among those participating at one of the premier meets on the high school outdoor track calendar. Lakota East's Dustin Horter, Hilliard Davidson's India Johnson and Natalie Price of Granville High School will line up against exceptional fields in their respective races at the Brooks PR Invitational in Washington on Saturday.

Dustin Horter is undefeated in individual races during the 2017 outdoor season.
Lakota East's Dustin Horter will be competing against one of the strongest 1 Mile high school fields that's ever been assembled as everyone on the start list has a seed time of under 4:08. Many experts believe that the elusive 4 minute barrier could be broken as, with a pacer in place, the pace is expected to be taken out hard from the onset. In addition to Horter, this line-up includes several nationally recognizable names, such as:
Cooper Teare - St. Joseph Notre Dame (NC) - 4:00.16
Sam Worley - New Braunfels Canyon - 4:00.61

Brie Oakley - Grandview High School - 9:56.06 (2 Mile - Indoor)
Claudia Lane - Malibu High School (SS) - 9:57.52 (3200m)

400m P.R. - 52.93
Granville's Natalie Price is the D1 Ohio outdoor state champion in the 400m event.
Granville's Natalie Price enters the 400m race with an outstanding time of 52.93 on her resume from the Division 1 Region 3 meet in May and she'll be joined by several athletes who have run under the 54 second barrier. A sample of some of the strong competition that Price will face includes:
Kennedy Simon - Westlake - 52.94
Bailey Lear - Frisco Heritage - 53.02
Tierra Robinson-Jones - Bishop O'Dowd High School (NC) - 53.24
Natalie Price will compete for the Indiana Hoosiers next year.

Beaks here...
Tony Scott, the brilliant director of TRUE ROMANCE, THE LAST BOY SCOUT, CRIMSON TIDE, ENEMY OF THE STATE, TOP GUN and many more first-rate studio films, has committed suicide at the age of sixty-eight. According to KTLA, he jumped to his death from the Vincent Thomas Bridge near Long Beach.
I can't process this news at the moment. Scott was a vital filmmaker with several projects in development. His sleek visual style was hugely influential in the 1980s, and he refined it in the early '90s as he began to work with media savvy writers like Shane Black and Quentin Tarantino. Critics decried Scott as a style-over-substance commercial director, but the glitzy "Friday Night Football" opening of THE LAST BOY SCOUT set up a sharp critique of our blind idolization of sports stars. Scott was a skilled smuggler. He was also an amazing storyteller. All told, he was one of the most talented filmmakers of my lifetime.
A part of me was holding out hope that Scott would ultimately convince Gene Hackman to come out of retirement for POTSDAMER PLATZ. I had no idea Scott was the one on the clock. I'm heartbroken. My condolences to the Scott family.

There is never a shortage of products featuring the work of Andy Warhol and most modern art galleries around the world have some of his work, but this year there is a special programme of events to mark the 20th anniversary of his death. This includes a major exhibition of his work at the National Gallery Complex in Edinburgh, simply entitled, Andy Warhol, which boasts of being the most comprehensive collection of his work ever exhibited in Scotland.
The exhibition aims to show how a life/death duality runs through all of Warhol's work and will include work from the early 1950s up to 1986. Special displays will be dedicated to 'Marilyn, Liz, Jackie and Elvis', 'Portraits of the 1970s and 1980s', 'Consumer Products', 'Death and Disaster', 'Skulls', 'Stitched Photographs', and 'War, Death and Religion'.
And there is bound to be some Warhol-merchandise to accompany the show in the gallery shop!
Andy Warhol runs from 4 August to 7 October at the National Gallery Complex, The Mound, Edinburgh and admission costs £8. Further details can be found on National Galleries of Scotland website.

Yesterday, I noted a new study from the National Bureau of Economic Research that threw some cold water on those who still think that women earn less than men because they don't ask for more pay. The study found that it is true that men ask for more money when there's no formal indication that employees can negotiate. But when employers explicitly stated that salary was negotiable, women stepped up, and with zest. They were more likely than their male counterparts to haggle over pay.
More evidence rolls in today to back this idea up. TribeHR, a human resources software vendor, analyzed salary and "workplace recognition" data from 20,000 employees at 2,200 companies in 2012. It found two telling data points: one is that more women received raises than men, 7.4 percent to 6.2 percent. This cuts against the idea that women aren't sitting down with their employers and asking for more money. Clearly they are having an even better success rate than their male peers.
But that doesn't mean they get more money. Men got much higher pay when they received their raises. Of 5 percent raises or higher, 60 percent went to men, while just 38 percent went to women. And men were three times more likely than women to get a raise of over 25 percent. The data is laid out in this infographic:
This echoes findings from other studies on the subject. Catalyst has found that female MBA grads who moved on from their first job were just as likely to ask for more money as men with the same backgrounds.
Yet women have the deck stacked against them when they do ask for higher pay. Another study found that when managers were told they only had a limited amount of money to dole out in raises to employees with the same skill and experience levels, they gave men two and a half times more money than women when they knew they'd have to negotiate. Women were behind in the negotiations before they even entered the room.
The evidence is hard to ignore. We can't explain the wage gap away by assuming women don't ask for the money they deserve. They do ask. But their employers don't ante up.

It seems Saint Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan is going global. Not for his name, not for his organisation Dera Sacha Sauda and not for his recently launched "swadeshi and organic" products. It's his song that's taking him places.
Last night, Jimmy Fallon, in an episode of The Tonight Show, played the Dera Sacha Sauda chief's song 'Love Charger' on his show, from his album Highway Love Charger.
You would think MSG's followers would have a reason to jump with joy. Nope! Unfortunately, it was played in a segment called "Do Not Play", which features the worst of music from around the world. What's worse? It topped the "Do Not Play" list.
Before Fallon started playing the songs he put out a disclaimer, "Every artist and songs I am about to play for you is 100% real." However, when he read out the first artist's name--Saint Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan, wonder how many thought it is a REAL name.
"What is it like? Is it a hardcore rock song or a romantic ballad," he asked before he played the song for 10 seconds on his show.
But, no matter what Fallon says, he clearly seems to have enjoyed the song. Even after he said "it's enough" and the song was stopped, he kept singing it and couldn't stop chuckling.
Watch the video above.

It was filled with beautiful north shore touches, close family and friends, and one heck of a dance party (complete with a fog machine!)! This July day was one of those hot summer ones, making the breeze coming off the lake a lovely treat. Their first look took place down the road at Gooseberry Falls, and ALL eyes were on these two as they walked towards each other. While their wedding party was teeny tiny, their group of friends was a blast to include in some of their photos! Each of the girls were in floral dressed, and the guys wore shades of blue. The energy surrounding Michael and Keri was infectious and we had such a fun time capturing their day!

Art Martha. Brainwashed.
Mona Lisa was an exhibition by Mr Brainwash; either a Banksy creation or Paris born, Los Angeles based, documentary film maker Thierry Guetta, depending on what you believe. Banksy's Exit Through The Gift Shop illuminated Mr Brainwash's talent as an artist, which is further proven with sell-out shows; apparently. Security was tight with entry into the show not unlike the procedure for boarding an international flight. Bouncers watched on as punters ogled works that can best be described as repetitive, paint-spluttered copies of master works. That's not to say they don't have charm, they do. Part Warhol, part sampled old master, part advertising all spun through a Koons production line spat out for the masses is one way to sum-up these works. They seem made for a multi-tasking, celebrity obsessed, rock-star generation, who in turn create their own smart phone snaps to post on Facebook. Although I have reservations and questions — are they appropriations or brash copies? Fine art or poster art? — I have to confess that, good art or bad art, I was oddly mesmerised by the show not to mention happy to stumble on it.

LAST time Antony Costa was visiting Birmingham it was as part of boy band Blue when the lads were singing to sell out arenas.
This time he will be donning flares and going back in time to the seventies for the hit musical Boogie Nights.
Now in its tenth year, the show tells the story of teenager Roddy and his mates who just want to party the night away to tracks like We Are Family and Play That Funky Music.
And surprisingly for someone who topped the charts with three albums and singles such as Too Close and If You Come Back in 2001-4, Antony says the seventies are actually his favourite music.
"I love Earth, Wind and Fire, they are my favourites," he says. "It is my ambition to see them live. It is just such lively music."
On stage in Boogie Nights with Alvin Stardust and Birmingham-born Nick Bailey, Antony is enjoying life after Blue.
The 25-year-old has already had a stab at reality television by taking part in the jungle challenge I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! before appearing in the West End in the Willy Russell musical Blood Brothers. And now it is Boogie Nights.
"I am having a great time on the show," says Antony. "It is very different being part of a stage show from being in a band.
"If you are in a band there is no uncertainty about a concert - you could go on stage and sing Humpty Dumpty and they would still scream because they are there for the band.
"Here you just happen to be the person on stage. They have really come to see the show, it just happens that you are Antony Costa doing it."
And now he has a taste for acting he is keen to continue.
"I know my limits, I don't see myself doing Shakespeare but I would really like to do more television drama. I did a pilot for a sitcom last summer which could take off. My ideal would be one of those gritty two part dramas on television, a part you can really get into."
But Antony admits he hasn't completely given up on Blue and was rooting for fellow band member Duncan James in the recent Dancing on Ice show.
"He did really well," he says. "It's not like I speak to him every day but I voted for him.
"For the moment I am going to stick to acting but if the boys want to get together they have my phone number. The door is always open but I am not holding my breath."
Boogie Nights is on stage at Birmingham Hippodrome on April 23-28, contact 0870 730 1234 or visit www.birminghamhippodrome.com.

Alicia Keys Medium Haircut: Brown Curls
Seen here with her hair loose around her neck and shoulders, Alicia is wearing a hairstyle that's full of exciting movement and edgy tangled waves.
The hair is cut into long layers, which creates extra volume and texture at the sides. The ends are textured to give wispy tips that soften the finish and the side parting adds asymmetry. The top is styled without volume and the long, side-swept fringe hovers softly over one eye, before blending in with the fabulous tousled spirals that give this look lots of life!

Poor workstation posture is the underlying cause of many musculoskeletal disorders. It is therefore essential that workstations and associated accessories are customised as much as possible to avoid or reduce the risk of pain and injury.
At Living to the Max Occupational Therapy Services, our ergonomic assessments can be provided for a single employee, a particular work group or for the whole organisation. All ergonomic assessments are performed by qualified Occupational Therapists with extensive experience in workplace safety. All our assessments include a detailed report on key assessment findings, current or potential injuries and proposed recommendations.
We can offer a number of different options to cater for both small and large businesses, from group sessions to highly customised individual assessments. These include:
1. Group session
These sessions are suited to larger groups of workers needing general ergonomic advice. Our Occupational Therapist will facilitate the training session which covers the importance of postural awareness, the basics of correct ergonomic setup and common injuries and faults. The aim of these sessions is for employees to return to their workstations and make the necessary corrections based on what they have learnt. We can also visit each of their individual workstations to answer any further queries they might have or to check the modifications they have made. A list of recommended aids or equipment (if required) will be provided to management.
2. Group Assessments
Our group workstation assessments take up to 30 minutes per employee and are focused on prevention. These assessments are best suited to employees not currently experiencing any symptoms or those with only minor issues. Our Occupational Therapist will review the individual and their workstation, identify any issues, modify the workstation (if required) to minimise risk of injury and provide recommendations in terms of self-management strategies, ergonomic accessories and safe work practices. A brief report is provided to management documenting current issues, recommendations and changes implemented.
3. Customised assessment (one-on-one)
These ergonomic assessments are recommended for those employees who are experiencing pain, discomfort or associated symptoms of poor ergonomic practices. Our Occupational Therapist is able to perform one-on-one assessments to identify risk factors, past injuries and underlying causes of advised symptoms. We are then able to provide recommendations on appropriate intervention. Our primary aim is to resolve and/or significantly improve symptoms when at work and prevent the likelihood of aggravation re-occurring. The assessment includes a detailed report to management on current issues and hazards, advice given to employee, changes made to workstation, any ergonomic accessories needed, details of current injuries and aggravating factors and any necessary referrals.
4. Home office ergonomic assessment
All employers have a duty of care under current legislation to provide a safe workplace for their employees. If an employee is undertaking approved work from home, this includes their home office. This level of assessment ensures your workers home office has been assessed for ergonomic risk factors. Depending on the current status of the employee, we can undertake an assessment based on either the group assessment or customised assessment.
We welcome your enquiry to discuss your ergonomic requirements. Please contact us here

The Non-Equilibrium Soft Matter group employs a combination of theory, analytical modeling, and computer simulations to study the structural, dynamical, and mechanical properties of materials that are inherently out of equilibrium.
Glass formation
Virtually all liquids can undergo a transition toward a glassy (i.e. amorphous solid) phase when cooled to below their melting temperature. Remarkably, while this phenomenon has been experimentally known for centuries and is exploited in a wealth of applications, understanding the physics behind the glass transition still stands out as "the deepest and most interesting unsolved problem in solid state theory". We work on the development of a novel microscopic theory that can accurately predict the complex dynamics of glass-forming materials on a strictly first-principles basis, providing a promising new framework to elucidate various poorly understood glassy phenomena.
Active matter
Active materials are composed of particles that can convert energy into autonomous motion. This renders them intrinsically far from equilibrium, resulting in rich dynamical and self-organizing behavior that defies the laws of conventional equilibrium statistical mechanics. Examples in nature are abundant and occur on all length scales, ranging from the cellular cytoskeleton to macroscopic bird flocking. Artificially created active particles have also recently become available, offering potential applications in bio-sensing and targeted drug delivery. We employ theory and particle-resolved computer simulations to study the emergent behavior of such active materials. In current research we explore the role of geometric and topological constraints, the emergence of mechanical stability, and aging and rejuvenation behavior in active matter.
Smart and responsive materials
The living cell represents a magnificent example of responsive, smart, and programmable matter, combining the ability to sense changes in its environment with the means to adapt in a quick and effective manner. We seek to study and ultimately harness the physical principles underlying this responsive behavior to design and control novel bio-inspired and smart materials. We are mainly interested in systems that exploit properties of both glassy and active matter, such as active disordered (bio-)networks, actively doped glasses, and vitrimers—a new class of responsive polymers.
Previously, I also worked in the field of molecular quantum physics, focusing on quantum-mechanical first-principles treatments of molecular photodissociation, scattering processes in an external field, and ultracold controlled chemistry.

It's Monday and we all know what that means. Time to post about bootcamp. I confess this is not a post I had been looking forward to. Why? Because I have to report that my numbers stayed the same this week. Shocking as it may sound, what with all the exercise and dietary restrictions, this sort of thing happens, even to the most meticulous practicers. For me, it always comes down to digestive issues. If you're not properly digesting your food, you are not going to see the results in your numbers. When embarking on a healthy quest such as this I always always encounter this problem. It's unavoidable.
As I laid here thinking about this post this morning, I was thinking about how I would give this a positive spin. Some bs about how it's enough to see my body change and that it still feels so good to be so committed to a regimen of health and exercise and blah blah blah… But you know what? You know what the hard honest truth is? It's frustrating as hell. To work hard every single day and discover that you are at a standstill. And for all of you who are following this blog and going through your own weight loss journeys, you are going to have weeks/days/moments like this too. Even if you are the most meticulous, consistent, dedicated individual, there are going to be some hurdles, some bumps in your road. Maybe you get sick, maybe work piles up, or maybe you simply can't take a sh*t. Whatever it turns out to be, it's important to remember that it's ok to get frustrated. It's ok to have a day or a week where you feel crappy and you have a hard time remembering why it is you're getting up everyday at 5am and spending so much time and effort eating vegetables and green juice. Ugh.
BUT. It is equally important to keep going. Remember that these bumps and hurdles are just that – they can be overcome. Yes, allow yourself to be frustrated. It's ok. But then take a minute, turn off the TV, switch off your computer, put your phone on silent, treat yourself to a cupcake, and remind yourself of all that you have accomplished. Remember that the world hasn't ended, that you haven't nor will you gain back all the weight you've lost over night, nor will a little bump prevent you from reaching your goal. Think of how far you'll go and how great you'll feel down the road once you've thrown yourself over that hurdle… Then everything isn't so bad, is it?
Now, put down that cupcake, take a deep breath, and carry on. 🙂

Records did not support diplomatic status for Davis
Islamabad: Former Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has said that according to official records and experts in the Foreign Office, the US official arrested for gunning down two men in Lahore is "not a diplomat and cannot be given blanket diplomatic immunity".
"The kind of blanket immunity Washington is pressing for (US official Raymond) Davis is not endorsed by the official record of the Foreign Ministry," said Qureshi, who declined to join Pakistan`s new cabinet last week after he was not reallocated the foreign affairs portfolio.
"On the basis of the official record and the advice given to me by the technocrats and experts of the Foreign Office, I could not certify him (Davis) as a diplomat," Qureshi told The News daily.
Qureshi skipped the swearing-in ceremony for Pakistan`s new cabinet on Friday after he learnt that the leadership of the ruling Pakistan People`s Party had decided not to reallocate the foreign affairs portfolio to him.
Reports have suggested that the PPP decided to remove him from the foreign ministry because of his decision not to back the party`s top leadership`s move to grant diplomatic immunity to Davis, who was arrested in Lahore last month after he shot and killed two men.
Qureshi also spoke on the issue of Davis during his farewell speech in the foreign ministry, The News quoted its sources as saying.
The Foreign Ministry, on the basis of its records, had concluded that Davis was "neither a diplomat nor enjoying blanket diplomatic immunity," the sources told the newspaper.
The sources contended that Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani had asked the Foreign Ministry not to "utter a word on the issue".
One source was quoted as saying: "Even in an inter-ministerial meeting held at the Foreign Office, it was agreed that Davis could not be handed over to America".
Davis was never registered in the Foreign Office`s records "even as a non-diplomatic staff" as queries sent to the US Embassy remained unanswered.
The US mission had on January 25 sent a list of outstanding cases regarding the status of officials and diplomats but it did not include the name of Davis.
On January 28, a day after Davis killed the two men in Lahore, the US Embassy sent the list of outstanding cases to the Foreign Ministry and included Davis` name in it, the sources were quoted as saying by The News.
The paper also quoted its sources as saying that an effort may be made to "fudge" the records to the "pleasure of Washington" after Qureshi`s departure from the Foreign Ministry.
A Foreign Ministry official told the newspaper that officials were asked by Qureshi to place all records pertaining to Davis with the courts and then "leave it for the courts to decide if he could be given the kind of immunity that Washington is desperately seeking for him".
Pakistani leaders have so far rebuffed demands from the US for Davis to be released, saying the matter will be decided in court according to the country`s laws.

As promised, here is a set of more scrappy printables for you, to coordinate with the PL ones I posted yesterday.
The set includes 6 circles (to fit the 2″ punch or a similar sized Nestie) three small rectangles that can be used as embellishments or as photo toppers, and two long 10.5 inch borders.
A word about the set. The photo toppers are meant to adorn a photo with a bit of space. Here is my son on Halloween, many, MANY years ago. I have no idea at this point why he looks so glum! But the colours fit so I've used the photo for the sample. I think I've already scrapped better ones!
I often use the small toppers I make along the 3″ side of a landscape photo and they still work well enough. You could use them for treat bag toppers if you mount them on a larger piece that you fold over the bag top and staple.
This shot, that I took yesterday when it was actually LIGHT out, is misleading. I was looking for a way to extend the 10.5 inch borders so they would cover a 12 x 12 inch sheet, so I added a smaller strip that you could mount beside, or overlapping, to take it to 12 inches. In the end I didn't like the way the subtle pattern of misty dots lined up (or didn't) and the obvious break where the two pieces joined. I think you can still use the smaller border effectively (and if you do so I would love to see your layout!) so I added instead two more circles. THOSE would work well in a number of ways – they could work for cards, they could be mounted on top of rosettes, they could go onto banner flags. The centre circles don't quite fit a smaller punch (I did try, and would maybe keep that in mind if I do future sets like this) but with Nestie circles (or dare I say scissors?) you should be able to cut just the centre section and make use of them that way.
The original set was positioned so you had to trim off maybe 1/4 inch at the side for the punch to exactly punch the circles. I've printed and tested the new set and certainly for A4 card the punch works with no trimming. As US letter paper is wider and shorter that may not be the case, so just check the punch location and trim as needed.
Hope you enjoy them. As ever I would love to see a link in your comment to your own blog post that shows what you've done with them.

According to the criminal Code of the District of Columbia, assault of threatened assault is codified as; (emphasis mine)
§ 22–404. Assault or threatened assault in a menacing manner;
(a)(1) Whoever unlawfully assaults, or threatens another in a menacing manner, shall be fined not more than the amount set forth in § 22-3571.01 or be imprisoned not more than 180 days, or both.
(2) Whoever unlawfully assaults, or threatens another in a menacing manner, and intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causes significant bodily injury to another shall be fined not more than the amount set forth in § 22-3571.01 or be imprisoned not more than 3 years, or both. For the purposes of this paragraph, the term "significant bodily injury" means an injury that requires hospitalization or immediate medical attention.
To breakdown the legalese to plain-speak, noted DC criminal defense attorney, David Benowitz breaks down simple assault; (emphasis mine)
In DC, a person may be charged with simple assault (misdemeanor), assault with significant injury, or aggravated assault. Simple assault is when a person makes an attempt or effort, with the use of violence, to injure another person, and at the time of the attempt has the ability to injure the person. A DC simple assault charge also requires that the action is committed voluntarily and on purpose. A simple assault offense can also be charged under an "intent to frighten" theory.
Watch the video for yourself… you make the call. In the meantime, Fox News is reporting that the White House has pulled Acosta's "hard pass";
CNN's Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta's press pass to access the White House was suspended "until further notice" Wednesday, hours after he engaged in a contentious back-and-forth with President Trump.
As a result of today's incident, the White House is suspending the hard pass of the reporter involved until further notice.
— Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) November 8, 2018
President Trump believes in a free press and expects and welcomes tough questions of him and his Administration. We will, however, never tolerate a reporter placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern…

Getting Started at the Jackpot 6000 Reels
First you'll need to log in to your Casino.com UK account and head to the casino games lobby. Click on Jackpot 6000 under the long list of exciting online slots we have to offer to be taken to your game. Start by setting your bet amount and activating your paylines – clicking the arrows on your online slots machine to increase or decrease the amounts as required, then hit "Spin". You can also opt to Autoplay. This means you will set your preferences to spin the Jackpot 6000 reels a set number of times uninterrupted – simply sit back and enjoy as the game plays out! You can also Bet Max to wager maximum coins on maximum paylines and automatically spin the reels. The standard symbols on this slots game include cherries, lemons, grapes, bells, gold stars and jokers. The jokers are the highest paying symbol, and if you land three in a row from left to right on your screen, you will hit the jackpot payout of 6,000 coins.
Special Jackpot 6000 Features
The Supermeter feature can come into play whenever you hit a winning combination on your activated Jackpot 6000 reels, and it enables you to increase your payout when you win. You can spot this feature at the top of your screen and a siren will go off when you opt to use it. To use the Supermeter click "Spin", but if you'd rather collect your winnings right away, hit "Collect". Your winnings from the base game are the stake, and if you spin two jokers on the reels, you win a mystery prize of between 10 and 6,000 coins! There's also a Heads or Tails gamble option which can double your winnings – but if you lose, you lose your stake (the original winnings from the base game). When playing the Supermeter feature, you can hit Transfer at any time to move credits to the base game.

On Trump's claim that he had the largest electoral victory in history: Here's what Trump said: "270 which you need, that was laughable. We got 306 because people came out and voted like they've never seen before so that's the way it goes. I guess it was the biggest Electoral College win since Ronald Reagan." Trump has had nowhere near the biggest Electoral College win since former President Ronald Reagan. In fact, he won by the smallest margin since Reagan. Barack Obama won with 332 and 365 in 2012 and 2008, respectively. George H. Bush took home 426 in 1988 and, Bill Clinton won with margins of 370 and 379. On his lack of calls with Russia and his recent call with Russian President Vladimir Putin: "Don't speak to people from Russia," Trump said. "Not that I wouldn't. I just have nobody to speak to. I spoke to Putin twice. He called me on the election." This one is easy — Trump contradicted himself. In case you need a second source, yes, Trump and Putin have spoken on the phone. On today's headlines: "Tomorrow, they will say, "Donald Trump rants and raves at the press," Trump said. Yesterday The New Political ran with a subhead that said "Trump announces Labor Secretary, raves against the press." Chalk one up to Trump; he was telling the truth with this one. White House finally fills Communications position The White House has finally filled the communications director role with Michael Dubke, a Republican strategist. The position has been plagued with denials since Jason Miller initially declined to take the role back in December. Dubke has a working relationship with Sean Spicer, the current press secretary, so the transition for Dubke should be rather smooth and bring forth a more unified message. Meanwhile Republicans such as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have asked the White House to stay on message. Whether Dubke can fulfill McConnell's wish remains to be seen.

I really enjoyed crafting this prototype for an all-Ebony tailpiece. Built for gut/nylon/Nylgut strings, its shape is derived from a number of vintage designs I've stumbled across – mostly from the pre-1900 era.
It consists of two pieces of Ebony that are joined with grain in opposing (perpendicular) directions. This guards against warping, splitting or shearing of the wood under tension from the strings. The polished Ebony feels great in your hand (I've been carrying this thing around all day). And the overall aesthetic combines both vintage and modern.
This tailpiece attaches easily to a banjo rim with any standard bracket hook. I added a small nickel-plated washer over the mounting hole to protect the Ebony and to add a bit of finish to the final product. On future versions, I'd like to integrate this washer within the body of the tailpiece – perhaps with some simple ornamentation.

Protecting your car with an auto insurance cover is the right decision to take. Everyone who owns a car needs to hold an insurance policy that safeguards the vehicle and the drivers/riders against the impact of untowardly incidents such as accidents. However, with an insurance cover the battle is only half-won. Majorly because, even though we buy a policy for our car we never expect a mishap and hence don't prepare ourselves for any such situation.
Driving cautiously, living/working in a safe neighbourhood, safekeeping your vehicle in a garage and other such safety measures definitely reduce the risk. But they don't negate it completely, so we need to be on our guards in case circumstances take an unfortunate turn.
In order to make sure that you don't panic in the time of crisis, here is a guide of car insurance tips for your claim procedure.
Don't Delay
The situation in hand might leave you overly stressed but being prompt in filing the claim is the best way to overcome the situation. Unfortunately, if bodily injuries are involved, your insurance provider will surely understand the time you may require to reach them. Nevertheless, avoid any unnecessary delay.
Intimating the claim at the earliest will ensure quick returns. The information you need to provide at this time, ideally, includes–
Ø Policy Number
Ø Name of the Insured Person
Ø Name of Driver
Ø Contact Number(s)
Ø Vehicle number
Ø Make and Model of your Car
Ø Date & Time of the Accident
Ø Location of Loss
Ø Brief Description about the Incident
Make Sure You Have All Your Documents
Insurance companies follow a stringent body of rules and if all the documents are not submitted to them, it might create irrelevant bumps in the way. Maintain a record of all the receipts like–
Ø Original Registration Certificate and Driving licence required for verification.
Ø Claim form (duly filled in & signed) to be submitted to the repairer/surveyor.
Ø Additional documents like medical expenses, police report in case of an accident, etc.
Call your insurance company on its toll free number, and the staff will provide you a comprehensive guidance about the same.
Good Customer Record
Maintaining a good relationship with your company strengthens their trust towards you, which in turn helps in accelerating the claim process—
Ø Firstly, as it reduces the requirement of several checks that might be needed otherwise.
Ø Secondly, because poor behaviour like delayed premium payments, careless driving record and dishonesty of any kind trigger distrust and thereby lead to added steps of verification.
Do Your Homework
Before filing your claim, read the policy document on your company's website. Call their helpdesk for any further assistance. Getting it right the first time will help reduce any steps for additional information/documents.
Don't let this information overwhelm you, this is just to brush your knowledge for difficult times. Hopefully, you will not have to face any such perils, but if you find yourself in a difficult situation your insurance company will help you out. Royal Sundaram is highly recognized for its quick and smooth claim process.

Epidemiology of Zika virus, 1947–2007
The evidence supports the belief that Zika virus circulated in Africa and Asia for decades, and was only recently introduced to the Americas.
Since 1947, Zika virus has been identified sporadically in humans in Africa and Asia, however, clinically consequential Zika virus disease had not been documented in the Americas prior to the current outbreak. This study conducted a systematic literature search to identify evidence of Zika virus infection in humans from 1947 to 2007. Data extracted included seroprevalence, age distributions of positive test results and serologic test modalities used. A total of 76 articles were included in this review. Evidence of Zika virus infection in humans was found in 29 countries in Africa, 8 countries in Asia and 1 country in Europe. Country-level seroprevalence of Zika virus infection ranged from 0.4% to 53.3%. Seroprevalence of Zika virus infection was found to increase across the lifespan, thus 15% to 40% of reproductive-age individuals may have been previously infected. No significant difference was found between estimates of seroprevalence by different serologic test modalities. Risk of bias was not assessed.

In many cases, treatment for BPH is not necessary. However, because BPH can be progressive, men with this condition should be followed to watch for complications, such as infections and kidney stones. It is recommended that a man consult his doctor if he has bothersome symptoms and immediately if he has blood in his urine, pain during urinating, or cannot urinate.
Treatment options for BPH should be discussed with your doctor and may include surgery or medications.

"Extra's" AJ Calloway caught up with Chrissy Teigen and LL Cool J as they prepared for a special "Lip Sync Battle" event in NYC.
Chrissy dished on her recent headline-making pic of hubby John Legend, revealing he was fully aware she was posting his bare butt on social media."He didn't know I was taking it, but he knew I was tweeting it… he got full approval."
When LL asked what John was doing in the photo, Teigen explained, "He was trying to change the channel that's all," adding, "It's such a good butt, how do you not post that? It's so good."
On a more serious note, Teigen also tagged @Instagram directly on the post, in what appeared to be a direct jab at the platform's double standards on male and female nudity. "They actually wrote my agency at one point, they were like, 'Please stop posting this.'"
Tonight, LL and Chrissy take the success of "Lip Sync Battle" to Central Park. LL told AJ, "We're having a lipsync battle Central Park live, all the way live. We just wanted to give back to the city where the whole concept was born do something fun, do something different, so the Houghs are going to come out and do a little rematch. Gonna have some other special guests."
The event is live in Central Park at 8 PM.

Build Custom PHP
From OpenLiteSpeed Wiki
Compiling PHP is not recommended way to setup your openlitespeed web server. You should install them through either LiteSpeed or remi repository. Compiling PHP is only needed when you have some very special need.
PHP is fully supported by OpenLiteSpeed out of box. No additional configuration is required. For more on the default PHP settings, please see our article on the topic. Many users, however, will want to create their own custom PHP builds. This article will cover building a custom PHP in OpenLiteSpeed. (We will be taking you through the steps to create a PHP 5.4.17 build.)
Go to the Compile PHP utility
(WebAdmin console => Actions => Compile PHP)
Select a PHP version
Choose build options
The Install Path Prefix designates the location the PHP executable will be built. (It is equivalent to
'--prefix=' in the mod_php build options.) This setting is important because this is where your php.ini will be and where extensions should be installed.
Configure Parameters and Add-on Modules allow you to choose needed compile options and modules.
Build PHP 5.4.17
Once the build is complete, OpenLiteSpeed automatically copies the PHP executable to
$SERVER_ROOT/fcgi-bin? and creates a new
$SERVER_ROOT/fcgi-bin/lsphp5 symlinked to the new PHP executable. This is done because the default PHP external application is set to read from
$SERVER_ROOT/fcgi-bin/lsphp5. By using these symlinks instead of overwriting, our new build is automatically used by the default external applications and we do not have to change the location specified in the External Application settings, but we are still able to quickly revert back to our previous build (just change the symlink) if something goes wrong.
You can run the
./lsphp5 -v command to see the new version number.
For further verification, point your browser to your phpinfo page and check all your configurations.
