Choose A Diode Laser Hair Removal Machine
How to choose a diode laser hair removal machine? This is what we hope you learned in the post! We will take some mystery out for those who are ready to purchase a diode laser hair removal machine, especially for the less technically mined of salon owners currenty looking at adding a diode laser hair removal machine to their business.
A short description about diode laser hair removal
What is diode laser hair removal?
With the diode laser, a larger area can be treated at the same time compared to IPL treatment. Laser treatment is usually four times faster and much less painful than with traditional technology such as IPL, wax or electrolysis.
Compared to IPL and other treatments, the laser has better penetration and effective damage to the hair follicles. With only a few treatments, clients see results that will last for years.
Diode laser hair removal is a low risk procedure that involves a minimum of discomfort. It offers integrated cooling of the skin during treatments, which greatly reduces any "pain" the client feels.
NO hay tiempo de inactividad
Unlike IPL, the wavelength of the diode laser is much more precise, which makes the epidermis less affected. Skin irritation such as redness and swelling rarely occurs after laser hair removal treatment.
Critical Factors For Excellent Clinical Results
A) Head Size / Head Design
Intuitively the smaller the treatment head the more shots you need to fire to cover the same area (more shots means more $$$$). Consequently the smaller the head, the more likely it is that you will miss areas and the treatment will therefore be less effective. The converse is also true.
The delivery of light across the entire treatment area (especially over larger areas such as the back) is more uniform and less likely to create uneven results when using the larger treatment head. The added advantage of larger treatment heads is that their depth of penetration can be greater than that of smaller sizes.
In this case, the spot size of 808KK and 808Cute are 12*23 mm², which is the highest configuration among all the diode laser hair removal machines.
B) High Output Power
A large spot size on an underpowered machine can result in the light energy being dissipated over the large spot size resulting in ineffective treatments. If you do want a larger spot size for the reasons discussed make sure the machine you are looking at has the power to handle the larger spot size.
In the case of 808KK and 808Cute, their total power are 1200 Watts. There are 12 laser bars in the head and the power of each is 100 Watts. As a result, it can easily handle the 12*23 mm² spot size with no doubt.
C) Integrated Cooling
For a diode laser hair removal machine, the ability to cool the skin during hair reduction therapy is critical to minimizing the potential for pain, redness, burns and hyper/hypo-pigmentation. That is because the deeper the target tissue the more time it takes the heat to dissipate. As a result, if insufficient time is allowed for the heat to dissipate between shots you can very easily build up temperature with each successive shot. So much so that the laser beam that would normally not cause any adverse effects now becomes the straw that breaks the camels back. Hence the ability to cool the skin rapidly dissipates this latent heat and minimizes the chances of adverse effects due to overheating.
It also effectively dissipates the heat which in turn allows you to use higher fluences (power levels) delivered at a higher repetition rate (speed) while still maintaining comfort for the patient. The net result is more effective treatment requiring fewer visits to achieve the desired result.
By far the most effective system for cooling is Integrated Contact Cooling (ICC). While there are several ways of producing ICC it is essential that your laser machine has such a system. Any other method (such as air or chilled gel) is simply not effective.
In the case of 808KK and 808Cute, They have two Thermal Electric Cooling Module in the head. It's able cool the head to -5 degrees during the whole treatment, no matter how fast and how many you shoot.
D) Ease of Use
Look at the machine that you are purchasing to see if the operating interface is easy to use. There are several different systems across different machines some of which are better than others. In some cases you have to input treatment parameters from tables and this can be cumbersome and make it possible for you, or your staff, to make mistakes resulting in bad clinical outcomes.
808KK and 808Cute all have a simple and professional user interface. It has a simple programming which is suitable for all operators where they simply have to enter which area they treatment and the skin type of the paitient. 808KK and 808Cute will set up the machine for treatment. You start with the default safe value and trying more effective parameters by keeping asking your patients how they feel. When found, you can simply save it and it will be even easier next time.
Critical Factors For Optimizing Your ROI
Like most other pieces of equipment for your salon, a diode laser hair removal machine represents a significant financial investment. Once you have made your decision you are likely to be stuck in an operating lease which will be extremely difficult to extricate yourself from. It is therefore extremely important that you "get it right first time." While clinical efficacy is paramount, we are in this business to make money so when you are choosing which laser hair removal machine is right for you, the financial viability and profitability of each machine you are looking at will be a critical factor for the success or otherwise of your new laser hair removal business. In short you are looking for the "biggest bang for your buck" which in turn will give you the largest return on investment.
A) Highest Profit Per Shot
Every treatment head has a limited number of shots it can fire before it needs to be replaced. Bearing in mind that an individual treatment will attract a fixed fee it follows that the more treatments you can deliver per head, the higher your overall income will be. If you take the income generated from a handle and divide it by the total revenue for that handle and subtract the cost of the new handle you will come up with the:
The profit per shot is a key measure of the profitability of any machine (although other factors listed below are also important).
B) Equipment Optimization
Whilst the concept of the profit per shot is very important I would say the equipment optimization is equally as important. The critical factor here is TIME. The longer a treatment takes to perform the less customers you can treat in one day.
In addition, longer treatments tie up key staff and they are stuck with the laser when they could be performing other jobs. Critical factors here are:
i ) Repetition rate
The time it takes between laser beams is called the Repetition Rate. The shorter the interval between shots – the higher the repetition rate. Your profits will to a large extent depend on the repetition rate. The faster you can beam, the less time the treatment takes and therefore the more customers you can handle in a day. But a fast repetition rate without Integrated Cooling is problematic. The faster it beams the more likely laser bars and skin become overheated. If without proper cooling method, life expectancy of laser bars will be shortened and chances of adverse effects due to overheating will greatly increase.
In this case, 808KK and 808Cute very powerful Integrated Contact Cooling keeping the head icy-cold all the time which can easily handle the repetition rate of 10 Hz.
ii ) Spot size
Larger spot sizes mean less flashes for larger treatment areas such as backs. Less beams means less costs (each flash costs you money) but equally importantly less beams means less time on the job and more customers in a day! You charge the customer the same $500 for his back but with a larger spot size your cost for the treatment (the number of beams) is lower and the time taken for the treatment is less. It is a win win for your business!
In this case, 808KK and 808Cute have a big spot size of 12*23 mm², which might be the biggest among all the diode laser hair removal machines. This contributes a lot to the higher revenue per hour.
iii ) Continuous working time
Some manufacturers will give you this in their specs and others will not. It is certainly a question you should be asking when you select your diode laser hair removal machine. Smaller (lighter) machines with less cooling ability will generally have a lower continuous working time. Almost all the portable diode laser hair removal machines have a continuous working time of 2-4 whilst 808KK and 808Cute are 15-18 hours. It goes without saying that if you have a machine that requires a break after 4 hours of work it will be less profitable than a machine that can work all day without a break!
iv ) Marketing support
Obviously if a distributor provides you with marketing support your profits should increase as a result. It is a relatively small factor to consider but is definitely worth a tick when the supplier offers this free of charge.
We are able provide you with original high-definition pictures of the machine, promotional brochures and flyers, customized videos, etc. We think it does mean something if you have this demand.
v ) Training
You might be able to purchase the best laser machine for the best price from other Chinese suppliers but if the operator has not been adequately trained, your wise decision in choosing the right laser machine could be for nothing! Laser hair removal is actually a very simple procedure and you could learn the actual treatment process in very few hours and possibly go onward and upward with your new business without incident.
However that one unusual client that is treated that should not be, could ultimately cost you, not just your laser machine but your entire business. If you treat a person that should not be treated or you treat someone at too high a level and they have an adverse reaction, then they will have every right to take legal action against you and your business – and they will win!
If this did happen to you, would you still think you've made a good choice? We Dimyth Beauty Equipment Manufacturer will provide you with not only the basic user manual and tutorial video, but series of online training courses and 24-7 online support to help you or your stuff master laser hair removal treatment.
Critical Factors For Minimizing Profit Leakage
A) Life Expectancy of Head
For a diode laser hair removal machine, a head that can produce 80-100 million shots per head is obviously better than a head that will only produce 100,000 shots before it is replaced. The calculation is simple.
B) Cost of Replacement Heads
Obviously the cost per flash is dependent on the cost of replacing the hand piece. The cost of A new hand piece of 808KK and 808Cute is nothing compared to the profit it brings.

The nose is the central element of the face, and therefore its cosmetic remodeling improves the facial general appearance. This procedure is also used for reconstructive purposes to correct traumatic injuries, congenital malformations and breathing problems. Rhinoplasty is the most demanded aesthetic surgery nowadays.
What are the indications for rhinoplasty?
Patients, both women and men, choose rhinoplasty for a variety of reasons, which often include one or more of the following:
To reduce or enlarge the size of the nose
To change the shape of the tip or of the nasal pyramid
To narrow the nostrils
To change the angle between the nose and the upper lip
To correct congenital malformations
To repair traumatic injuries
To solve breathing problems
Ideal candidates for rhinoplasty are generally healthy men and women with realistic expectations about the procedure. It is best to have at least 15 years of age before considering a nose job, to ensure that it's growth is completed.
First consultation
During the first consultation, before planning your surgery, Dr. Sinescu will carefully evaluate your nose and facial structure to establish the best therapeutic strategy. We will discuss what you can expect from this surgery and we'll review all the existing options. You will be given a detailed explanation of the procedure, steps to be followed before and after surgery, potential risks and complications, costs and payment methods. We will answer all your questions. We'll ask for medical history, information on cigarette and alcohol consumption and a list of all the medicines you use, including the over the counter ones. If you are dissatisfied with the results of a rhinoplasty performed by another surgeon, we will discuss the additional details associated with secondary rhinoplasty.
Surgical procedure
The operation will take place in one of the ultramodern clinics where our surgeons work. The intervention can be performed either in general anesthesia or with local anesthesia and sedation, depending on what you and your doctor prefer. With general anesthesia you will be completely asleep throughout the procedure. With local anesthesia you will be slightly sedated, and your nose and surrounding area will be numb. You will be awake, but you will be relaxed and you will not feel uncomfortable. The type of anesthesia used will be discussed with you prior to surgery.
There are two ways to perform rhinoplasty: the closed technique, in which the nostrils are incised on the inside, and the open technique, in which the incision is made at the level of the structure that joins the two nostrils. Regardless of the technique, the surgery usually lasts for about two hours.
Once the incision is made, the skin is separated from the supporting structures, namely bone and cartilage. If one of the surgical goals is to reduce the size of the nostrils, small incisions are made at their base. The bone and cartilage are then carved in the shape that you have agreed with your doctor and the skin is repositioned above. An external splint is used to maintain the new nose structure and special dressings are inserted in the nostrils to stabilize the septum.
In secondary rhinoplasties, many of the structural elements of the nose might have been over-resected. This can lead to breathing problems because a large part of the airway support structure has been altered. Our surgeons believe in recreating the structure of the nose to restore integrity and function and to improve breathing. Thus, cartilage grafts are used to reconstruct the nasal structure and give it a new form. There is usually an insufficient amount of septal nasal cartilage, so the surgeon has to get the cartilage either from the ear or from the cartilage of the ribs. The type of cartilage used by the surgeon depends on the problem to be corrected, and options will be discussed extensively in preoperative consultations. Our surgeons do not use artificial implants for secondary rhinoplasty because of an increased risk of infection and extrusion of artificial material. Sometimes the open approach is useful, a small incision on the columella, which allows for better access and better visualization. Therefore, the doctor can provide better symmetry, maximizing the likelihood of a good cosmetic result. If properly closed, the columelar incision will heal with a virtually imperceptible scar.
Recovery after rhinoplasty
Bed rest- 24 hours
Extraction of internal dressings – 48-72 hours postoperatively
Removal of the external splint – 7-10 days postoperatively
Suture extraction – 7 days postoperatively
Return to school / work – 7-10 days postoperatively
Driving – as soon as you feel comfortable
Local contact – as soon as you feel comfortable
Intense physical activity – 3-4 weeks postoperative
Using reading glasses – 6-8 weeks postoperative
Contact sports – 6- 8 weeks postoperatively
Fading of the scars – a few months to one year
What are the possible side effects or risks?
All surgical interventions have a certain degree of risk; however, major rhinoplasty complications are rare. During the first consultation, the individual risks will be evaluated and discussed. You can help reduce risks by carefully following the pre- and post-operative instructions provided. Our staff will be at your side at every step of the way to ensure a safe and aesthetic result.
The most likely side effects include the following:
– infection
– persistent edema
– epistaxis – nose bleeds
– asymmetry
– necessity for another surgery
How long do the results last?
Nasal surgery can reshape, resize and improve the appearance of the nose. In most cases, these results are permanent. Of course your face, including the nose, will change with age.
Frequently asked questions
Does my health insurance cover the costs of the intervention?
In most cases, rhinoplasty is considered cosmetic surgery and is therefore not covered by insurance. You are responsible for the full payment of the procedure. Cost and payment information will be fully discussed with you during your initial consultation. Sometimes, insurance will cover the cost of the intervention if it is considered medically necessary, to improve breathing problems.
What other procedure could be associated with rhinoplasty to improve the result?
Several surgical procedures can enhance your facial appearance and give you a more youthful, rested look. These include: facelift, blepharoplasty, brow-lift, remodeling of the chin, cheekbones, and lips.
Are there alternatives to rhinoplasty?
There are currently no non-surgical alternatives for correcting deformities treated by rhinoplasty. For minor changes in shape, remodeling with hyaluronic acid can be used.
How long after rhinoplasty do I have to wait for a revision surgery?
The general guideline is to wait at least 12 months to allow edema to completely disappear. There are situations in which the appearance is unlikely to improve over time, as in the case of crooked or crashed nasal pyramids, and waiting can make the correction surgery difficult. Our team will advise you on the best moment and the ideal approach.

Deadline Funnel has a feature, called the Single Point of Entry, which enables you to redirect untracked visitors to your optin form and force them to start at the top of your automated funnel.
If someone shares a link from the middle of your funnel sequence and the new visitor is not being tracked, you can choose to re-direct these new visitors back to the opt-in page before they can continue.
DF integrates with every Email Service Provider using the opt-in form integration, so once you have turned on this new redirect feature, you will be able to add the new visitor's information to your email service provider account along with their deadline date. In this way, your subsequent emails in your funnel sequence will reference the correct date.
Watch this short video to learn more:
How to Set This Up:
For this example, we are assuming that the Deadline Funnel campaign is already set up.
1 In 'Edit Campaign' navigate to Settings >> Advanced, and click to turn on the 'Redirect untracked visitors to optin page' feature:
2 Then 1) add the URL for your optin page in the 'Optin Page URL' box and 2) click 'Save':
3 In order for the Single Point of Entry feature to work you must: 1. Add the Deadline Funnel tracking code to each page you want to redirect if the visitor is not being tracked 2. Add each page that you want to redirect to the Funnel Steps as an inline countdown or floating bar
That's it! You're all set. Now if someone lands on a page that is in the middle of your funnel sequence and Deadline Funnel realizes they are not being tracked, the software will return them to your original opt-in page so that when they optin they can be tracked and have their deadline set.
If you have any questions, please let us know at email@example.com.

My journey in Energy Medicine began when I opened a small natural foods store that I operated for 41 years. I learned so much from my customers, books, and sales reps. I took classes over the years in macrobiotics, homeopathy, herbs, Chinese herbs, essential oils, and healing touch. In 2000 I began training with Donna Eden and discovered auras, chakras, meridians, muscle testing and much more. A new, incredible world had been there right in front of me all along that I couldn't see. From Donna Eden, I studied with Deborah King and learned to meditate daily. In 2006 I became a member of the American Society of Dowsers and in 2012 presented some of Donna Eden's work. At the Dowsers I met Mo Wheeler, a retired psychologist, who further expanded my awareness, and I joined her team, Energy Healing Partners. I studied and became a hypnotist too because I always had a lifelong fascination with it.
My store manager helped me discover the world of EFT and Gary Craig. And like many others, I saw Stephen and Beth and their truth resonated profoundly within me. I had a couple of sessions with Carolee Johnson and learned of my food sensitivities and how I was being affected by the traumas in my life - especially the loss of a son at age 11. My psoriasis cleared up as I cleaned up my diet. After the devastating death of my wonderful husband to colon cancer, I knew I needed to pursue healing deeper. I decided to become a massage therapist so I would be legal to touch people. I opened at my store which included a small energy practice in my healing space, the Possibilities Room. I became a Certified Body and Emotion practitioner in order to have more tools in my tool belt.
The Daniels had always resonated truth for me and because of that I had purchased various products from them over the years. In September 2017 I body dowsed that I should participate in an Elite session. It was fabulous and I knew then, as I know now, that this where I should be.

Texas rules Big 12 volleyball, but Baylor continues to aim high after a historic 2017, and some key transfers and big-time freshmen recruits bring new talent into the conference. Things will look different in the Big 12 this season — with a handful of teams ready to make a move — but Texas remains the constant at the top.
Big 12 Preseason Coaches Poll
1. Texas
2. Baylor
3. Iowa State
4. Kansas
5. Kansas State
7. Texas Tech
8. Oklahoma
9. West Virginia
Texas, Baylor, and Iowa State were also included in the AVCA's preseason poll, ranking No. 3, No. 16, and No. 21, respectively.
2017 Record: 24-7 (13-3)
Key losses: Outside hitter Katie Staiger was an absolute workhorse for Baylor, leaving at the end of the 2017 season as the school's all-time kills leader in the rally scoring era.
The Bears also lost libero Jana Brusek, middle Camryn Freiberg, and middle/opposite Tola Itiola.
"Physically, what we lost has been replaced and maybe to-be-determined if it's upgraded in that," coach Ryan McGuyre said. "We're longer, we'll be a little more physical … Those seniors understood the balance of trust and kindness with competitive grit, and we've got to relearn that, I think."
Who returns: A lot of the hype that surrounds Baylor this year has to do with Yossiana Pressley. As a freshman, the outside hitter led the conference in points and kills per set and was named Big 12 freshman of the tear.
Setter Hannah Lockin and middle Shelly Fanning joined Pressley on the preseason All-Big 12 list. Lockin earned honorable mention All-American honors last season, tallying 11.23 assists per set. Junior Fanning, also an honorable mention All-American, posted the best single-season hitting percentage in Baylor history (.376), in addition to leading the team in blocks.
Despite standing only 5-foot-8, six-rotation outside hitter Aniah Philoh ranked fourth on the team in kills last season, first in aces (25), and second in digs per set (3.74), and is the top candidate to start opposite Pressley on the left.
Newcomers of note: Middle blocker Sydney Sacra headlines Baylor's group of five newcomers, not least because an immediate replacement is needed to fill Freiberg's spot in the middle. McGuyre said the 6-4 Needville, Texas, product will make an impact right away.
The new starting libero may also come from the 2018 class — freshmen and Texas products Emily Van Slate and Shanel Bramschreiber will be in competition with two upperclassmen defensive specialists\.
Talented transfer Gia Milana makes her way to Waco from Maryland, where she was the go-to outside hitter. However, with two outside hitters returning, as well as freshman OH/OPP Bri Coleman, Milana might have a tough road ahead of her to earn a spot on the floor.
Analysis: Baylor begins the 2018 season with some momentum after earning a top-16 seed in the 2017 tournament and celebrating the program's only back-to-back NCAA appearances. The Bears ranked No. 16 in the AVCA Preseason Poll, and a strong preseason includes matches against UCLA (preseason No. 11), San Diego (preseason No. 14), and Wisconsin (preseason No. 9). Last year, only Texas stood between Baylor and a Big 12 title.
Iowa State
2017 Record: 22-7 (11-5)
Key losses: The graduation of setter Monique Harris will likely prove the most significant for ISU; last season Harris briefly ran a 6-2 with then-freshman Piper Mauck, but shouldered the setter duties in a 5-1 starting with conference play.
Opposite/middle Samara West, who ranked second on the team in kills last year and first in hitting percentage, will also be sorely missed, as will outside hitter Alexis Conaway, who started for three seasons as a middle before moving to the left.
Who returns: Now for some good news: Jess Schaben, Grace Lazard, and Hali Hillegas — Iowa State's top hitter, top blocker, and top digger, respectively — all return, and all three were named to the preseason All-Big 12 list. Opposite Hannah Bailey is also back to claim her spot on the right pin.
Newcomers of note: Brooke Anderson, a 5-10 outside hitter and the reigning Wisconsin Gatorade Player of the Year, headlines Iowa State's No. 24-ranked recruiting class. She's joined by setter Jenna Brandt, who will compete with Mauck for the starting setter position; versatile six-rotation hitter Eleanor Holthaus; and defensive specialist Taylor Baranski. Hillegas is the reigning Big 12 Libero of the Year, while Baranski is her likely successor.
Analysis: The first season with a new setter is never easy, but Mauck had the whole spring slate to get into rhythm with her hitters, and the addition of Brandt to practice should only motivate her and challenge her to continue to improve.
If the setter-hitter connection is on, expect this Iowa State team that took down Creighton and Kansas last fall to be sneaky dangerous once again behind the senior leadership of Schaben, Lazard, and Bailey.
2017 Record: 22-8 (11-5)
Key losses: Kansas graduated seven seniors who comprised the most successful class in program history. The biggest losses will be setter Ainise Havili, opposite Kelsie Payne, and outside hitter Madison Rigdon.
Who returns: Preseason All-Big 12 outside hitter Jada Burse is Kansas' top returning offensive producer, recording 258 kills in 2017. Other returners include outsides Ashley Smith and Patricia Montero, middles Zoe Hill and Mmachi Nwoke; and libero Allie Nelson.
Newcomers of note: Gabby Simpson transferred to Kansas before the 2017 season after three years at Colorado but redshirted last fall. The 6-3 setter was named preseason All-Big 12 and could set or play opposite, or do both in a 6-2. If coach Ray Bechard goes with the 6-2, freshman Camryn Ennis, another setter/hitter, would be the top candidate to play opposite Simpson.
The 2018 Jayhawk class also includes two middles: Kailea Carrier, who as 6-5 is the tallest player ever recruited by Bechard, and 6-3 Rachel Langs.
Analysis: Ranked fourth in the Big 12 preseason poll and merely "receiving votes" in the AVCA, it doesn't look like people expect much from Kansas this year; however, with two super athletic setter/hitters making their debuts, backed up by some solid returning hitters and defensive players, and added height in the middle, completely discounting Kansas seems unwise.
Ever since making the Final Four in 2015, Kansas couldn't seem to live up the hype, falling short of expectations in 2016 and 2017. Perhaps this year with all of that stripped away, the Jayhawks can start fresh.
Kansas State
2017 Record: 10-19 (3-13)
Key losses: Opposite Bryna Vogel is the only player not returning, but she played a big role on the team, ranking second on the team in both kills and digs last season. Setter Brooke Smith transferred back to Nebraska, where she played her first two seasons.
Who returns: Kills leader Kylee Zumach will be looking to turn things around for the team in her redshirt-senior season after being named to the preseason All-Big 12 list. Setter Sarah Dixon ran a 6-2 last season with the departed Smith. Reilly Killeen earned the starting libero spot in 2017 after transferring to K State, tallying 412 digs.
Newcomers of note: Gloria Mutiri headlines the K-State recruiting class ranked No. 26 in the country. Mutiri originally committed to Ohio State, but midway through her senior year the Oklahoma native decided she'd rather go somewhere close to home, ultimately choosing Kansas State. A 6-2 opposite, Mutiri is a second team Under Armour High School All-American and a top-20 recruit in the class of 2018.
This incoming class also includes Abigail Archibong, Holly Bonde, and Kayley Hollywood. Middle Hollywood, standing 6-5, is the tallest player in the gym, and could challenge returning middles Macy Flowers, Peyton Williams, and Elle Sandbothe. Canadian middle Megan Vernon also makes her collegiate debut this fall after redshirting in 2017.
Analysis: The 2017 season wasn't pretty for the Wildcats. Perhaps an influx of fresh blood in the form of four freshmen combined with some solid veterans who have had time to bond and grow together will be a winning formula.
2017 Record: 7-22 (4-12)
Key losses: Defensive specialist Emma Kelly is the only member of the 2017 team not back for 2018. Kelly played in all but one set for the team last year, tallying 205 digs and 20 aces.
Who returns: Alyssa Enneking, now a senior outside hitter, led the 2017 team in kills and digs. Top blocker Paige Anderson and top server Morgan Miller, a versatile setter/hitter, also return, as do outside hitters Madison Drescher and Sarah Maras and setter Audrey Alford.
Newcomers of note: First-year coach Lindsey Gray-Walton welcomes three freshmen in defensive specialist Aysia Harty and outsides Sabrina Simms and Olga Zampati. But the key addition is Oregon State transfer setter Kylee McLaughlin, the 2016 Texas Gatorade Player of the Year and reigning Pac-12 Freshman of the Year.
Brianna Kadiku, a 6-2 middle blocker, transferred from Memphis where she was a two-year starter.
Analysis: Gray-Walton faces a tall task in turning around this Oklahoma program that hasn't had a winning season since 2014. Adding McLaughlin could be huge.
"We have great energy, good passion, excitement to be in the gym again," Gray-Walton said on the first day of practice. "We have a lot of young kids, some veterans, so taking the time to be patient with them is really important."
2017 Record: 27-3 (16-0)
Key losses: The end of the 2017 season saw four Longhorns complete their collegiate eligibility (Chiaka Ogbogu, Cat McCoy, Ebony Nwanebu and Mirta Baselovic); one No. 1-ranked recruit, Lexi Sun, transfer after her freshman season; and another freshman, Olivia Zelon, quit the team.
Of course, the graduation of seniors is anticipated and Zelon didn't play a single point last season, so the loss of Sun, who was the second-highest offensive contributor, hits Texas the hardest. Not only that, but she transferred to Texas' former Big 12 rival and reigning national champion Nebraska. Ouch.
Who returns: Headlining the list of returning Longhorns is junior Micaya White, the hard hitting and serving outside hitter who led the team in kills and aces last season. The Big 12 coaches named White the conference preseason player of the year.
Yaasmeen Bedart-Ghani is one of two seniors on the Texas squad and came up big toward the end of the 2017 season, subbing in for Sun in the regional semifinal versus Utah and ultimately scoring the winning kill at 16-14 in the fifth set. Bedhart-Ghani has proven to be a dependable contributor all across the front row.
Morgan Johnson has established herself as one of the top middles in the country and setter Ashley Shook was an AVCA honorable mention All-American, with 10.84 assists/set as well as 2.28 digs.
Newcomers of note: Coach Jerritt Elliott, always a strong recruiter, brings in four true freshmen this fall, and will also finally celebrate the collegiate debut of Brionne Butler, a high-flying, long limbed 6-4 middle blocker who redshirted last year.
Among the list of true freshman are Asjia O'Neal, PrepVolleyball's No. 2-ranked player in the Class of 2018, and Logan Eggleston. Eggleston, originally a member of the 2019 class, graduated a year early from high school and spent a busy summer traveling with the Texas team in Europe and serving as the team captain for the USA Women's Junior National Team at the NORCECA U20 Continental Championship where she was named tournament MVP.
Rounding out the class are libero/setter Jhenna Gabriel and libero Sydney Petersen. Petersen, the daughter of Northern Iowa coach Bobbi Petersen, was a second team Under Armour High School All-American and passed up offers from UNI and Iowa State.
A last-minute transfer announcement also adds Katarina Luketić, a 6-2 right side and Croatian national team member, to the mix.
Analysis: The 2018 Longhorns are going to look a lot different this year. But they'll still be deadly. When you consider the core group of White, Bedart-Ghani, Johnson, and Shook and add Butler and Eggleston, that's a team that will be in the national-title hunt.
Texas Christian
2017 Record: 15-17 (4-12)
Key losses: Ashleigh Martin, last year's second-highest kills contributor, would have been a key member of the 2018 TCU squad; however, she chose to medically retire and will not play this year.
Setters Lamprini Konstantinidou and Kaylee Smith and defensive specialist Kayla Scheevel graduated.
Who returns: Anna Walsh, a middle blocker who transferred from Virginia in 2016, is back for her senior season after leading the team in kills last fall. A group of nine returning sophomores, split between members of last year's incoming class and redshirts from the season before, includes setter Tori Dilfer, starting libero Dani Dennison, outside hitters Allye Beth Deaton and Abigail Buckingham, middle blocker Sarah Swanson, and defensive specialist Berklie Baker.
Newcomers of note: Katie Clark and élan McCall, two local Texas products touching over 10 feet, bring high-caliber experience from playing for some of the best club teams in the state. McCall is a 6-0, bouncy outside, while Clark stands 6-3 and can play anywhere across the front row.
Defensive specialist Ashley Wehrstein rounds out the small, but talented 2018 class, and Loyola Marymount transfer Ashley Kozer will compete with Dilfer for the setter position.
Analysis: TCU struggled in the regular season and in the Big 12 last year, but a postseason run to the semifinals of the NIVC and a productive spring season means the Horned Frogs enter 2018 with a bit of momentum.
Coach Jill Kramer has been slowly building up her squad with nationally-ranked recruiting classes since returning to her alma mater in 2015. Last year, TCU had five true freshmen, four redshirt freshmen making their collegiate debuts, and no returning six-rotation starters. With a little more experience under its belt, expect TCU to be a much grittier team this fall.
Texas Tech
2017 Record: 19-15 (4-12)
Key losses: Sarah Redding ranked fourth on the team in kills last season despite struggling with knee injuries. Earlier this year, the Texas native made the decision to medically retire and transition into a student-assistant coach role. Coach Tony Graystone will also need to decide on a replacement for libero Katie Klepetka, who finished her redshirt senior season with 481 digs in 2017.
Who returns: Top hitter Emily Hill is a junior entering her second season in Lubbock after starting at Mississippi State. In fact, all of Tech's starting offensive contributors, with the exception of Redding, return for 2018, including outside Chandler Atwood, middles Katy Keenan and Allison White, and setter Missy Owens (a preseason All-Big 12 honoree).
Newcomers of note: Graystone added eight freshmen. Alex Kirby and Haley Killinger joined the team in January, benefitting from extra touches during the spring season, while the remaining six arrived on campus this summer. Outside hitter Killinger earned honorable mention Under Armour All-American honors as a high school senior and will immediately compete for playing time.
Analysis: Last year, in only his second season as head coach, Graystone led the Raiders to their most wins in a season since 2000, first winning season since 2001, and an appearance in the NIVC championship match. This group of freshmen represents Graystone's first full recruiting class and hints at his big dreams and goals for this program.
West Virginia
2017 Record: 21-13 (6-10)
Key losses: Top kills contributor Payton Caffrey transferred to Florida State after two seasons at WVU and middle Mia Swanegan, the team's best blocker and second-best hitter, graduated. Additional losses include outside hitter Morgan Montgomery, setter Emma Anderson, and defensive specialists Gianna Gotterba and Taylor Cross.
Who returns: Opposite Natania Levak ranked third in kills and will be the top returning offensive contributor. Starting libero Alexa Hastings and middles Briana Lynch and Katie Demeo are back as well, with Erin Slinde returning after leading the 2017 team with 941 assists.
Newcomers of note: Ten freshmen bring an influx of fresh blood to Morgantown: middles Ashleigh Barton, Rhyenne-Gabriella Filisi, and Kristina Jordan; outsides Abigail Cherin, Kristin Lux, and Macy McElhaney; defensive specialists Keatan Broughton, Abigail Gibbons, and Marielena Somoza; and setter Lacey Zerwas.
Analysis: Like TCU and Texas Tech, West Virginia struggled in the regular season, but did well in the NIVC tournament, advancing to the semifinals. The Mountaineers' 21 wins last year marked the most since 1991; however, Caffrey played a major role in that success.

July's issue of the UI Design Newsletter looks at how recent usability research is leading to new conclusions which may have implications for tried-and-true usability testing techniques.
In particular, a couple of questions they posed and their answers caught my attention:
Does it matter if you test with lo-fi or hi-fidelity prototypes?
A recent study suggests neither but instead to use a mixed fidelity approach based on the application of 5 'dimensions' to your prototype:
- level of visual refinement
- breadth of functionality
- depth of functionality
- richness of interactivity
- richness of data model
In this way, the purpose of the test determines the level of fidelity used as far as each of the above attributes is concerned.
It forces the usability tester to hone in on what feature(s) of the design they are seeking to test, and thus to ensure that the level of fidelity of the prototype in that 'dimension' is as high as is necessary.
Should you test one design or many?
Another study looked at whether it was better to test one design or several (PDF).
It concluded that users were 'nicer' with their comments when evaluating a single design whereas they were more critical when presented with alternative designs to choose from.
To quote:
By exposing users to multiple designs, we give them the opportunity to express which is their favourite, as well as reject designs that they would not consider, in light of the alternatives.
Interesting stuff.

The aim of this scheme is to improve the local environment by re-routing the through-traffic via Brunel Lock Road and creating a safer, more pleasant space for pedestrians and cyclists by closing Avon Crescent & Ashton Avenue to through traffic.
We are proposing an improved pedestrian area around the north end of Avon Crescent which will include cycle parking and tree planting. The closed end of Ashton Avenue would be enhanced with soft landscaping whilst maintaining cycle access.
The scheme will not lead to any loss of access for vehicles passing across Spike Island and will maintain traffic flow using larger roads rather than quieter residential streets.
This consultation offers the opportunity for local residents to comment on the proposals and help shape the final design.
We will carefully consider all the responses and seek to incorporate them, where possible, in the scheme.

Members of the GOP are charging today that President Obama may have been elected to the office, but simply isn't doing his job, as the nation inched closer to the impact of mandatory, across-the-board budget cuts Obama created.
"I have never in my lifetime seen such a lack of leadership emanating from our president," said U.S. Rep. Buck McKeon, R-Calif., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, at a press conference today on the effects of Obama's sequestration program on the military.
Flanked by the members of the various House Armed Service subcommittee chairmen as the final hours counted down before the sequestration deadline hit, the leaders of the committee wanted to detail one last time the "disastrous" effects of sequestration.
"Sequestration was the president's idea over a year ago, when we tried to fix it, he said no…..now he says it's Armageddon," said McKeon.
U.S. Rep. Michael Turner, R-Ohio, said, "Today the president has broken his promise to the American people" that sequester would not happen.
In allowing the sequestration to go through, U.S. Rep. Martha Roby, R-Ala., said, "It is unconscionable what the president is doing."
She charged Obama wants "to use military families as pawns in his crusade for higher taxes."

INCLUDES:One RRA 30 Round Polymer Magazine, Manual and Warranty Information
Rock River Arms, the leader in specialized Modern Sporting Rifles, has developed a 5.56mm semi-auto that advances the clean, trim look and performance of the monolithic-style upper receiver/handguard design but at a price point more in line with a conventional upper receiver and free-float handguard assembly.
The RRAGE Carbine builds on Rock River Arms' new extruded flat top upper receiver. Made of 6061T aluminum, this receiver exhibits the clean lines and defined angles commonly associated with more expensive billet uppers while delivering comparable strength and precision dimensions.
Matched to the receiver is a similarly constructed 6061T aluminum free-float handguard that blends almost seamlessly with the upper to provide an elegant, unitized profile and balanced strength and rigidity across the optics platform. The CAR-length handguard boasts a full-length MS1913 top rail and features the popular M-LOK™ rail configuration for easy accessory adaptation. The M-LOK™ system along the side and bottom surfaces lets shooters run a clean handguard or add only the rail accessories needed to help maintain a sleek, snag-free signature.
Combined, the RRAGE upper receiver and handguard set a new standard in MSR design and performance.
Other key components of the RRAGE include a 16-inch chrome moly barrel, A2 flash suppressor, carbine-length gas system with a low-profile gas block, single-stage trigger, A2 grip, and the RRA six-position tactical carbine buttstock.

Conservationists today announced that they had found the second biggest population of gray-shanked Delacour's langur (Trachypithecus delacouri) in a forest in northern Vietnam.
|The second population of teh species is discovered by FFI (Photo: Courtesy of FFI)
Employees from the conservation organization Fauna and Flora International (FFI) Vietnam carried out an investigation to verify the existence of the animal in the forest. Trinh Dinh Hoang, who led a survey group at the conservation organization Fauna and Flora International (FFI) Vietnam , said that they had found a population of around 40 individuals of Delacour's langur (Trachypithecus delacouri)
The primate species is unique to Vietnam. Most of the primates are victims of human being's illegal wildlife trade, wood exploitation and hunting, the species is still on the verge of extinction with the quantity of fewer than 250 individuals. Though the animal has not seen during one decade, scientists are hoping to save them from extinction.
Mr. Hoang added that as per investigation, the population has baby langur which means they will develop more if they are well protected.
According to Benjamin Rawson, FFI Vietnam program director, it needs to have urgent deed to prevent hunting and stone exploitation to protect the rare animal, adding that his organization has announced the news to related agencies and will work with local administrators and inhabitants to call for more coordination to protect the species.
The population of Trachypithecus delacouri is between 281-317 individuals, only found in Vietnam. The species was detected by Jean Théodore Delacour in 1903 and described by Wilfred Hudson Osgood in 1932. For 1990s, an investigation reported 19 populations with 281-317 individuals in a 5,000 square kilometer in a northern province Vietnam.
However, in a recent investigation, the species reduced drastically.

At the conclusion of the Divine Liturgy for the feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord, Father Iura (St. Michael the Archangel Ukrainian Catholic Church, New Haven, CT) blessed grapes, harvested fruits and vegetables and honey.
According to the Gospel of John, Jesus said, "I am the vine, you are the branches, apart from me you can do nothing." Grapes connect us to the wine changed in the Blood of Christ at the Liturgy, the fruits and vegetables return to the Lord the blessings He's bestowed on us, and honey reminds of the sweetness of the Beauty of God.
The blessings, therefore, remind us of place of the Eucharistic sacrifice of the Liturgy and how we are transfigured into someone new in Christ.
As close followers (disciples) of Jesus Christ we know we don't give ourselves anything; everything we have is a gift. Therefore, we say we depend on God for everything in our lives. It was same recognition that Moses had and taught the people of Israel to offer their first and finest harvest back to the Lord.

|Duchess of Elis
|Featured In
|White Sand, Mistborn
Duchess Khrissalla, better known as Khriss, is a female worldhopper originally from the country of Elis on the Darkside of Taldain.
Appearance and Personality[edit]
Khriss has brown skin, being from the Darkside of Taldain. She has brown eyes and wears her hair in braids. While on Dayside, Khriss wears a pair of dark, heavy sunglasses as she is unused to the sunlight of Dayside. She also wears a wide-brimmed hat to keep the sun's rays from her face. [1]
Khriss is a university-educated scholar and is extremely inquisitive. She seeks to understand and find scientific explanations for all that she can.
On Taldain[edit]
Khriss was engaged for a time to Gevalden--or Gevin, as he preferred in informal settings[2]--the Prince of Elis. Before their wedding, Gevalden traveled to Dayside in search of the mythical Sand Mages, where he disappeared and was presumed dead. Khriss, determined to seek out what her fiancé was trying to discover, traveled to Dayside with Baon, Cynder, and Jon Acron.[1]
On Dayside, she discovered that Kenton, whom she'd met previously,[1] was the newly appointed Lord Mastrell of the sand masters (or Sand Mages, as she'd previously referred to them).[3] Though initially infuriated, she eventually chose to assist him in his mission to preserve the Diem.[4] She continued to do so even following the news of her betrothed's supposed death [5] and attempted to research the mechanics of Sand Mastery.[6]. Following the party at Lord Admiral's, she decided to try learning it herself, enlisting Kenton's help.[7].
On Scadrial[edit]
Khriss and Nazh were discovered by Kelsier in the Cognitive Realm of Scadrial. The pair enlightened Kelsier on how the events on Scadrial were affecting the Cosmere. They remained quite vague as to why they were there - although Khriss mentioned wanting to see what the death of a Shard looks like - or about other events elsewhere in the Cosmere that were unrelated to the current conflict. They left abruptly after Kelsier told them of his meeting with Drifter.[8]
She later appeared at a party in New Seran in post-Catacendre Scadrial.[9] There she stole a dance with Waxillium Ladrian and asked him questions about his powers and how they related to physics. She was also mentioned in a broadsheet ad, telling people who hear talking tools to contact Khriss and Nazh.[10]
The mapmaker Nazh is in her employ.[11] She commonly sends him out to procure maps, documents and other illustrations for her, particularly in high-risk environments.
During the events of White Sand, she is engaged to prince Gevalden of Elis. They appear to have been quite close, enough so that Khriss organized an expedition to find him on her own following his disappearance on Dayside.[1]
- She would be mistaken for being a Makabaki on Roshar.[12][13]
- Khriss was involved in the founding of a university in Silverlight.[14]
- She knows more about the cosmere and its magics than even Hoid or Nazh.[15]
- She is the author of the Ars Arcana.[16]

2019-2020 NHL Conference Championship Odds Betting Preview:
Parity reigns supreme in the NHL. As far as the major pro sports leagues in the United States go, the NHL is probably at the top of the current list. Major League Baseball is as top-heavy as it has ever been. We all know about the NBA. The NFL has some surprises from time to time, but usually the teams we expect to be there are the ones in the running at the end.
The NHL's unique playoff format also creates some futures betting value. Unlike the NBA, where 1 plays 8 and usually has no chance, the gap between 1 and 8 in the NHL isn't as big. Furthermore, teams play within division before the conference finals. One division can and has been much weaker than the other in a conference and sometimes a Wild Card from a better division or a team that gets a favorable draw has an easier than expected path.
Those are the considerations you have to keep in mind when it comes to betting NHL conference futures. For example, the Eastern Conference favorite Tampa Bay Lightning is very likely to have to beat the second favorite Toronto Maple Leafs or the third favorite Boston Bruins. For teams like the Florida Panthers or even Buffalo Sabres, winning the Eastern Conference would mean having to beat two of those three teams in all likelihood.
As a result, it makes the most sense in the Eastern Conference to look at the Metropolitan Division, where the teams are closer to equal footing and may not have to go through a grueling seven-game series to advance. The Washington Capitals are among the favorites there at +800 at PointsBet and +700 at DraftKings. As always, those in the state of New Jersey or those in bordering states should gain access to multiple apps in order to shop around for the best prices that are out there. That is especially true of futures, where your hedging margin can change dramatically based on the sportsbook you use to bet.
The Capitals, Penguins, and Hurricanes are interchangeable to some degree in the lines at both DraftKings and PointsBet, but the Hurricanes could very well finish ahead of the Capitals and Penguins. As a result, they are a great futures bet to win the Eastern Conference at +800 at PointsBet and DraftKings.
Carolina made it to the conference finals last season and barely scratched the surface of what many people were expecting from them. They've been an analytics darling for the last several years and it finally translated to wins with the help of better goaltending and maybe a new coach in Rod Brind'Amour.
As far as the Eastern Conference goes, Carolina is unquestionably the best bet on the board, especially with that PointsBet line. The Bruins are a decent bet at +400 at DraftKings, largely because the Lightning have playoff questions and the Maple Leafs do struggle in their own zone, which is magnified in the postseason.
Over in the Western Conference, the picture isn't nearly as clear. Interestingly, the Vegas Golden Knights, at least by the conference futures odds, are a big favorite in the Pacific Division. That may be the division to attack in the West. A young upstart like the Arizona Coyotes has the chance to step up and challenge teams like the Calgary Flames and the San Jose Sharks, so the +1400 price at PointsBet isn't too out of control.
Getting San Jose at +1600 at PointsBet is a pretty attractive play. Goaltending is usually the question with the Sharks and that question won't go away anytime soon, but this is a team that has a ton of talent among the nightly 18 skaters. Erik Karlsson suffered through an injury-filled season and he should be in line for better health fortunes this year.
If you do want to attempt to make sense of the Central Division, the Dallas Stars are +1000 at DraftKings, but +1100 at PointsBet. With Ben Bishop coming off of a stellar season, Dallas could very well have the best goaltending by a decent margin in the division. Colorado, St. Louis, and Nashville are all formidable foes, but Dallas was a good team last year with a first-time head coach in Jim Montgomery. They have talent at all three levels and should see better offensive results in Year 2 with the mobile, puck-moving defensemen they have and some of last season's forwards regressing back to the mean.
As always, keep in mind the possibility of hedging down the line. You want to get the best price possible for both your profit on that bet, but also for your hedging margin when the playoffs actually roll around. When betting in New Jersey, that means checking out our sportsbook reviews and finding the odds that are the best out there.

Upgrading the Nuts and Bolts of the Electrical Grid
The electrical grid describes the network created for producing electricity, transmitting it and delivering it to the consumers. A "smart grid" is an electrical grid that gathers information on the suppliers and consumers automatically to improve efficiency and sustainability in the system. As the automated technology improves, the hardware that physically connects the electrical grid together must improve as well. This hardware, the "nuts and bolts" of the grid, is comprised of transformers, cable joints, terminations, bushings, and fault current […]

Nanorods are synthetic nanoscale objects used in the area of nanotechnology. They can be synthesized from semiconducting materials or metals, such as gold. The applications of nanorods are many, ranging from display technologies and energy harvesting to cancer therapy.
Power Transistors and Heat Transfer
Transistors are building blocks of electronic appliances, and can be found in radios, computers, and calculators, to name a few. When working with electrical systems you typically have to deal with heat transfer; electric heating is often an unwanted result of current conduction. Is a heat sink mounting necessary to keep the transistor cool, or can it manage without? Let's have a look at power transistors from a heat transfer perspective.
Modeling a Burning Candle, How Would You Do It?
This holiday season most of us will have burned our fair share of candles. The flickering light of candles can really enhance the ambiance and put you in festive spirits. This reminds me of an analysis of a burning candle developed by AltaSim Technologies back in 2010. So, in tune with the holiday cheer, here are some candle physics.
Make-shift Air Conditioner: How Engineers Can Stay Cool at Work (Maybe)
The winter here in Boston has been very mild so far. A few days I would even have liked to have the air conditioning back on. I checked in with one my colleagues to check if he was having an equally hard time staying cool, and to my surprise, he was not. Why? He had constructed a make-shift air conditioner (A/C).

Vernon claimed this book was actually written by Sam Horowitz or his card material was the source (I don't have a copy of the Vernon Touch).
Anyone know why Vernon made this statement and how Kaplan defended being the author (he apparently responded in Genii that same year).
I recently acquired this book and I am interested in it's history and why it is on the list of so many famous magicians reading list.

I have purchased a copy of the Vernon Touch to read the source statement (plus it's a good book to have) and awaiting its arrival.
So I will have the first have of the puzzle.
In the foreword, Kaplan acknowledged Jean Hugard for editing the book. Vernon claims Hugard was a ghost writer for Fine Art of Magic.
Kaplan responds in Genii 1971 September issue page 44, which I do not have.

Kaplan was not happy with Vernon accusations. There are letters where he addresses the issue. Horowitz was not happy that Kaplan included some things he did in the book. Hugard did edit the book but Kaplan indeed did write or compile it depending on your viewpoint.

Hi everybody,
I have the Vernon Touch and in the March 1972 column, Vernon says that Larsen received a letter from George Kaplan.
In the letter Kaplan states that "Sam Horowitz wrote 80% of the material, in the Fine Art Of Magic."
Vernon talks about how no credit is given to Horowitz and that Kaplan, by his own admission goes along with what Vernon said, in a previous column.
I also own The Fine Art of Magic, if there are any other questions.

I just received my copy of The Vernon Touch.
July 1971 (page 140)
Vernon in his colum states how a student of Sam Horowitz had written the book The Fine Art of Magic and Horowitz was not given any credit.
"I was flabbergasted upon reading it to see that the material in the book had been culled from Sam, Al Baker, and myself." - Dai Vernon.
Justin, what source did you find Kaplan admitting using the material of Sam Horowitz, Baker and Vernon?
Kaplan did respond that same year in Genii. I do not know the content.

Justin, thank you very much for the reference.
What a truly bizarre response.
He writes to Ed Larsen that Vernon was presumptuously correct? And he agrees with Vernon claims, so he complains? I would love to see the letter!
Is this underground material (at the time of publication)? If Kaplan had not plagiarized this content, would we never have seen this?
The history of this book, for me at least, is fascinating.
I will admit I am not a "card guy" and not even a skilled magician (one day I will invest the proper time), however this book is on my short list to read for card magic. Why is so respected by the major talent and experts? If it so good, and I am not saying it is not, but why was it never reprinted?

Around that time, I think it was fairly underground. Horowitz has material in greater magic, so it seems he had no issue with publishing his magic.

It's respected because the magic is practical and effective. though, a lot of the material is cards, there are mentalism type tricks,coin magic,stand up etc. It's a book for magicians, who perform for paying audiences.
Not sure why it hasn't been reprinted, but I hope it never does!
by the way, it's nice to talk with people, who are interested in studying the true classics of our craft!

Considering that Horowitz reportedly ripped off the majority of card material that was intended to be published in Greater Magic, I have no sympathy for him whatsoever.

The information I referenced is found in the latest publication of Greater Magic (Magic Factory?) concerning its origins. Jean Hugard loaned Horowitz most of, or at least a good deal of the card material that Hilliard had compiled so as to verify the value and practicality I guess. Horowitz kept the material and never returned it despite repeated requests from Hugard.
That's what I can recall anyway, I sure hope I'm right. It's been years since I read it.

I think you are referring to the Horowitz-Jones-Hugard correspondence in the Kaufman/Greenberg edition of Greater Magic. It begins on (more or less) on page 1101.
It's a question of whether the material was lost in transit or deliberately kept from the publisher. Horowitz showed Hilliard a number of effects and Hilliard made notes on them.
Hilliard then passed away and Jones gave Horowitz two manuscripts of effects for editing and evaluation. Those effects were never returned. Carl Jones even met with Horowitz in New York and still Horowitz couldn't seem to locate the material. I think Horowitz just lost them rather than nefariously keeping them from being published. If he was willing to share them with Hilliard knowing full well he intended to publish them, it doesn't seem logical he would later recant and keep them from Jones and putting them in [i}Greater Magic[/i].

My Recent Travels
Spanish Sojourn
Paris - Day One
Aug 28, 2019
The train we didn't miss
It's Wednesday and we've made it to Paris. Before leaving London we walked through Hyde Park. It was very fun to see—it's often referenced in the English mysteries I read and now I can picture it in my head!
We had some extra time to admire to Eurostar train station because we missed our train and had to wait about 4 hours for the next train...and pay a $50 fee each to change our tickets. It it's a pretty fancy train station with upscale shops and a champaign bar, so there was plenty to see as we waited.
RATS! Barb and I slept through the Chunnel. We dozed off in England and woke up in France! We have a couple of new "words of wisdom" or philosophies to share: "A good day's a good day, but a bad day makes a good story" which tells us that we may not always be on the correct Metro, and we may miss our train, or we may get lost but we don't care! It's a great adventure. And the other is a paraphrase of Stella (Street Car Named Desire) that we get along thanks to the kindness of others...never more true than when someone gives us help on the stairs with our heavy heavy suitcases. That's Peggy and me, Barb packed wisely in a carryon and backpack and has hers all under control.
On to tomorrow's adventures in Paris. ~ Lorraine
Well, train travel between London and Paris has definitely changed since the last time I took it. I thought we would arrive a half hour or so before we needed to leave and walk onto the train, but nooo. There is a line for security, the UK passport control, then French passport control. They close the line a half hour before the train leaves so of course we missed our train. On the plus side, the trains are very fast. I did not sleep through the chunnel but expected it to be more dramatic. It was just a tunnel like several more we went through, just longer.
