Allan Madsen
Allan Madsen "Copper Bowl" Oil on canvas, 31" x 31"
Allan Madsen is a Danish artist who now lives and works in Murcia in Spain. He first started studying art in London where he lived for ten years from 1971 to 1981, where he also studied and taught Renaissance lute music. He then decided to devote himself completely to the visual arts and moved to Paris, where he lived for the next seven years. While he was based in Paris, he travelled extensively throughout Italy and Spain, before moving to Sweden in the 1980's.
Allan Madsen "White Rose" Oil on canvas, 11" x 11"
Allan Madsen "Yellow Rose" Oil on canvas, 11" x 11"
Allan Madsen "Still Life with Bowl" Oil on canvas, 11" x 11"
Allan Madsen has had numerous successful solo exhibitions at Jorgensen Fine Art and has found a large audience for his paintings in Ireland. His still life paintings are noted for their scumbled surface texture, which evokes ancient plaster fresco paintings. The main focus of his paintings is often a simple still life arrangement such as a bowl of fruit, or sometimes just the empty bowl itself, set against a pale background. The exquisitely painted objects in his paintings, on closer inspection, often appear to fade away and merge into the background, as if they too like the antique frecsoes they evoke are susceptible to the vagaries of time.

How Mind Is To Be Known
THE PERSONAL CHARACTER OF CONSCIOUSNESS.--Mind can be observed and
known. But each one can know directly only his own mind, and not
another's. You and I may look into each other's face and there guess the
meaning that lies back of the smile or frown or flash of the eye, and
so read something of the mind's activity. But neither directly meets the
other's mind. I may learn to recognize your features, know your voice,
respond to the clasp of your hand; but the mind, the consciousness,
which does your thinking and feels your joys and sorrows, I can never
know completely. Indeed I can never know your mind at all except through
your bodily acts and expressions. Nor is there any way in which you can
reveal your mind, your spiritual self, to me except through these means.
It follows therefore that only you can ever know you and only I
can ever know I in any first-hand and immediate way. Between your
consciousness and mine there exists a wide gap that cannot be bridged.
Each of us lives apart. We are like ships that pass and hail each other
in passing but do not touch. We may work together, live together, come
to love or hate each other, and yet our inmost selves forever stand
alone. They must live their own lives, think their own thoughts, and
arrive at their own destiny.
CONSCIOUSNESS.--What, then, is mind? What is the thing that we call
consciousness? No mere definition can ever make it clearer than it is at
this moment to each of us. The only way to know what mind is, is to look
in upon our own consciousness and observe what is transpiring there. In
the language of the psychologist, we must introspect. For one can
never come to understand the nature of mind and its laws of working by
listening to lectures or reading text books alone. There is no
psychology in the text, but only in your living, flowing stream of
thought and mine. True, the lecture and the book may tell us what to
look for when we introspect, and how to understand what we find. But the
statements and descriptions about our minds must be verified by our own
observation and experience before they become vital truth to us.
HOW WE INTROSPECT.--Introspection is something of an art; it has to be
learned. Some master it easily, some with more difficulty, and some, it
is to be feared, never become skilled in its use. In order to introspect
one must catch himself unawares, so to speak, in the very act of
thinking, remembering, deciding, loving, hating, and all the rest. These
fleeting phases of consciousness are ever on the wing; they never pause
in their restless flight and we must catch them as they go. This is not
so easy as it appears; for the moment we turn to look in upon the mind,
that moment consciousness changes. The thing we meant to examine is
gone, and something else has taken its place. All that is left us then
is to view the mental object while it is still fresh in the memory, or
to catch it again when it returns.
STUDYING MENTAL STATES OF OTHERS THROUGH EXPRESSION.--Although I can
meet only my own mind face to face, I am, nevertheless, under the
necessity of judging your mental states and knowing what is taking place
in your consciousness. For in order to work successfully with you, in
order to teach you, understand you, control you or obey you, be your
friend or enemy, or associate with you in any other way, I must know
you. But the real you that I must know is hidden behind the physical
mask that we call the body. I must, therefore, be able to understand
your states of consciousness as they are reflected in your bodily
expressions. Your face, form, gesture, speech, the tone of voice,
laughter and tears, the poise of attention, the droop of grief, the
tenseness of anger and start of fear,--all these tell the story of the
mental state that lies behind the senses. These various expressions are
the pictures on the screen by which your mind reveals itself to others;
they are the language by which the inner self speaks to the world
LEARNING TO INTERPRET EXPRESSION.--If I would understand the workings of
your mind I must therefore learn to read the language of physical
expression. I must study human nature and learn to observe others. I
must apply the information found in the texts to an interpretation of
those about me. This study of others may be uncritical, as in the mere
intelligent observation of those I meet; or it may be scientific, as
when I conduct carefully planned psychological experiments. But in
either case it consists in judging the inner states of consciousness by
their physical manifestations.
The three methods by which mind may be studied are, then: (1) text-book
description and explanation; (2) introspection of my own conscious
processes; and (3) observation of others, either uncritical or

A diagnosis of cancer brings with it feelings of overwhelming fear, a sense of loss of control and most devastating of all the loss of hope. When we face the diagnosis of cancer in a beloved pet it is even more difficult, for we must make important and life changing decisions for creatures that rely totally on our own judgments for their well being. At Angel Care Cancer Clinic for Animals we recognize the importance of pets in our lives.
Our cancer care program is aimed at providing information, options for care and treatment of pets with cancer and support for the individuals and families that love them. Our goal is to utilize multiple approaches from traditional medical and surgical treatments to the use of nutritional therapies, supplements and complementary therapies like acupuncture to care for pets with cancer and defeat their disease.
These precious animals not only share our homes, our lives, our experiences, but they share our hearts. With their unconditional love and through a collaborative decision-making process together with their family, we hope to provide for them the quality and dignity of life which they deserve. Seeking the most appropriate care for our friends is the very least we can do as a response to their love and affection.

|Mardi Gras Float Revelers by Jeff Strout
Krewes (an organized parade group) will ride high atop their flamboyant floats while throws (trinkets, necklaces, cups, and commemorative doubloons) in the traditional royal Carnival colors of purple, green, and gold, will be flung out into the flailing arms of the crowds. Rex, the King of Mardi Gras Carnival, will be crowned; court ball royalty will attend various bal masque (masquerade parties); King cakes will be savored; and alcohol will be consumed (in mass quantities).
Here are some very cool facts about Mardi Gras in New Orleans:
- Over 500,000 King Cakes are sold during Mardi Gras
- 95% of the areas 30,000 hotel rooms will be full
- in 1991 alone, one carnival producer sold 41 million strings of Mardi Gras beads
- during the Mardi Gras super parades of Bacchus and Endymion, 2.5 million doubloons will be thrown into the parade crowds
- the oldest Krewe is Comus founded in 1857
- Carnival colors included purple (justice), green (faith), and gold (power)
Mardi Gras 2014 celebrations will culminate with the grand finale on Tuesday, March 4, better known as Fat Tuesday, when the non-stop parties on Bourbon Street in the French Quarter come to a prompt end at midnight. Happy Fat Tuesday, it's Mardi Gras Time in New Orleans!!

This could be a blessing in disguise. The thing is that the republicans already have a majority, with the caveat that Kennedy sometimes sided with the less conservative judges. With Trump's nomination the supreme court would be clinched for decades to come since the rest of the conservative judges are relatively young.
So where is the silver lining? Trump can no longer "rally the troops" saying he needs to control the senate to nominate a new judge, so many republicans will probably not vote in the November election and if the economy goes south*, some might even vote for the democrats.
*Today the dow jones started with the rally but is now more than a hundred points in negative territory and since trump has been saying the economy behavior is ALL thanks to him, he will be getting blame sooner rather than later as this negative Spiral continues.

1) People that have voted republican most of their life (or at least, have never voted democrat).
2) Independents and disenfranchised democrats. People that thought trump was reagan 2.0 (but, no, it was me, Dio ... I mean Nixon 2.0) and decided to take their chances. Many of them no doubt are regretting their decision and at least will not support the party of trump next november. I expect many "surprises" in many places where "trump won by double digits".

Well, sad to see the GOP's scummy tactics paying off, hopefully it won't be long before they get their comeuppance.
On the other hand it didn't seem like Gorsuch was too bad and was more the less the same as Scalia that he replaced. https://www.businessinsider.de/gorsu...18-4?r=US&IR=T

There is also a small possibility that Trump disregards the list of possible candidates to replace kennedy, emboldened by the victory of the candidates he supported and fearful of the muller investigation and chooses to nominate a cronie of him, someone he knows is loyal to him and/or he has some dirt on said person just in case.
Then some GOP senators would have a reason to vote against the nomination. I know, this is a Batman gambit "Will trump be so boneheaded as to nominate someone lacking the minimum credentials?"

I think the ACA (which Roberts saved), gay rights and possible Roe v Wade (with carve outs) might be safe on precedent. The Voting Rights Act and Affirmative Action on the other hand...
Frankly the only few things that will delay a SCOTUS pick is Mueller coming out with extremely damaging evidence and conclusions in his report this fall which the GOP can't ignore or something happening to Trump.

Well, I certainly wouldn't miss Affirmative Action, though I don't think they'd go that far to disenfranchise people that blatantly. Though taking action against what they're already doing by gerrymandering something seems to have been supported heavily.
I'd settle for a justice that just makes a deadlock. The court's been steadily increasing its powers over the years especially starting with Nixon and it has led the government being able to justify anything over a few things (commerce clause, etc)

Since then trump has been more eager to flat out ignore suggestions from people who know better, increasingly frustrated over getting no wins to brag about, I am really surprised how little comment his north korea nothing burger (which he sold the public as a win-win situation) has been given:

it's important to remember that the result of Kennedy's departure will be to make John Roberts the "median" or "swing" justice. No matter how right-wing the nominee, Trump can only move the Court as far right as Roberts this time around. I heard Elizabeth Warren say the choice is between Kennedy and the presumably much more conservative future nominee. That makes for good politics, but it's not the right way to think about this choice. The real choice is between a Court with Roberts as the median versus a Court where decisions fall somewhere between the positions of Roberts and the most conservative Democratic-appointee, Stephen Breyer.
Yes, Trump could get another vacancy (RBG being the most likely) and could displace Roberts as the median with someone even more conservative like Gorsuch or Alito.
Roberts has voted more conservatively over time than Kennedy, but Kennedy's votes this year have been pretty similar to Roberts. Here are a couple of good articles on these issues from FiveThirtyEight:
The second article gives the pairwise rates of concurrence among the Justices. Not only do Kennedy and Roberts vote together 91% of the time, they also both voted with the Democratic appointees about 70% of the time. In that sense replacing Kennedy with Roberts might not be as big a deal as it seems. However Roberts did not sign on to Kennedy's gay-marriage decision and wrote the main dissent, agreed to by Scalia and Thomas. Roberts is less supportive of abortion rights as well.

Hah. Trump delivers another very important promise to those Evangelical voters. Not only the Dems will have any powers to stop the nomination process, few of the Dem senators from those red states will have no other choice but vote with the Repubs to nominate the eventual Trump pick.

So the meeting went well. I zoned out for most of it, and left the details to my darling husband, who is more the expert in that area. And he was pleased with how it all went. Luke from Wisdom was very nice, and explained everything to us, so we felt comfortable when we left.
Then half way home we remembered some other things we needed to discuss and totally forgot about. Typical! A quick email to Luke when we got home should hopefully have it all resolved by Monday. And I don't think the extras that we included today are going to cost us too much, which is even better news!
We are still waiting approval from the Stonecutters Ridge Review Board on our plans; Medallist have had the plans since before Christmas, and because of the holidays they didn't do anything with them until last week. Then earlier this week we found out that they required our garage to be set back further than it was, so the architect had to redraw the plans to move the garage back a WHOLE 3cm. Yep. 3. Centimeters. FFS.
So hopefully we'll have developer approval next week, so that we can submit our plans (finally) to council. I feel like we've had them FOREVER and yet we're making absolutely no progress. I want to be in my new house NOW!

Dec. 22 (UPI) -- New data suggests a unique 'winking' star located 550 light-years from Earth is consuming remnants of wrecked planets.
Astronomers believe the periodic dimming of RZ Piscium, a star found in the constellation Pisces, is caused by a giant orbiting cloud of dust formed by the debris of one or more disintegrating planets.
Normally, the large discs of dust and debris found around young stars disperse after a few million years. But RZ Piscium is between 30 million and 50 million years old and the dimming episodes persist, sometimes last a couple of days.
"I've been studying young stars near Earth for 20 years and I've never seen anything like this one," Benjamin Zuckerman, a professor of astronomy at UCLA, said in a news release. "Most sun-like stars have lost their planet-forming disks within a few million years of their birth. The fact that RZ Piscium hosts so much gas and dust after tens of millions of years means it's probably destroying, rather than building, planets."
RZ Piscium produces larger amounts of infrared radiation than the sun, which suggests the star is surrounded by a warm ring of dust. Roughly 8 percent of the star's radiation is emitted in the form of infrared wavelengths, putting the star in rare company. Only a handful of other stars within a few hundred light-years of the solar system emit similar amount of infrared radiation.
Scientists detailed their analysis of RZ Piscium in the Astronomical Journal.
"Our observations show there are massive blobs of dust and gas that occasionally block the star's light and are probably spiraling into it," said Kristina Punzi, a doctoral student at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
Spectral analysis revealed the star's lithium levels, which allowed scientists estimate the star's age. Analysis also revealed the star's surface temperature, 9,600 degrees Fahrenheit, just a bit cooler than the sun. Scientists were also able to measure the temperature of the dust, 450 degrees Fahrenheit, which suggests the cloud is orbiting 30 million miles from the star.
While astronomers believe planetary collisions are the most likely source of the dust cloud surrounding RZ Piscium, they suggest it's also possible the star is stealing material from a stellar companion.

Clean Slate Ranch #2

When history professor Avery returns to the Clean Slate Ranch, is a second chance with former SWAT officer Colt possible? Honesty, communication and coming to terms with one's own needs and desires are major themes of this journey.
A complex story, there are all sorts of relationship dynamics, those between main character Colt and his former best friends and then the dynamic with his former lover, Avery. Colt is lost without his best friends and thinking that the best thing might be to move on when his former lover and dom comes to The Clean Slate.
I absolutely enjoyed Wild Trail, book 1 in this series and I was anxious to rejoin the guys on the ranch. Secrets were revealed during Wild Trail that may have irrevocably damaged the relationship between former best friends, Colt and Mack. When Mack brought Avery to Wild Trail to maintain the historical accuracy while rebuilding the ghost town was difficult for Colt as his feelings for Avery are still bubbling under the surface. The reverse from the expected dynamic between a SWAT officer and a history professor is interesting. One would anticipate that the SWAT guy would be the Dom but that is not the case. With Avery and Colt, how can a relationship ever work with their widely different backgrounds, occupations, and lifestyles?
Avery's demi nature adds another layer to the story. Colt was Avery's first and only; the one relationship of Avery's life and when Colt left, when Avery sent him away, years previously, there was no interest in anyone else. It seems that Colt is it for him.
A.M. Arthur is a one-click for me with the interesting stories and wide-ranging themes.

Justin toughs it out through a long and hard swim, as he is determined to get help for Alf. Seeing Justin run out of the surf, Phoebe soon realises something is wrong and gives Justin her phone to ring for help. She then accompanies Justin to the hospital once Alf has been rescued.
After an anxious wait for news on Alf's condition, Nate finally delivers the prognosis - Alf's cardiologist is confident his heart is responding to treatment and he should make a full recovery. However, the nightmare isn't over for Roo, as Alf takes an unexpected turn for the worse in the morning. Will he make it through this time?
Meanwhile, the Morgan family secrets threaten to spill when Mason gets an unexpected visitor - Lara, a girl he left behind in the last place the family lived. After grilling him about his lack of contact, she then seduces him into proving how much he missed her in the bedroom. It seems the lovers couldn't be happier, until their tryst is interrupted by an angry Justin.
Full of grim warnings about how he has "compromised" their family, Justin reads Mason the riot act. Mason defends himself, claiming to be in love with Lara and insisting that he wants to keep seeing her. Later, Justin proves he has a ruthless cunning streak when he tells Mason that he is allowed to secretly see Lara away from the Bay, before going to Lara and threatening her to stay away from Mason.
Elsewhere, when Angelo's chef walks out, a hassled Phoebe receives help from an unexpected quarter as Brody steps in and takes over the kitchen. By the end of the day, he's saved her bacon and scored himself a new job. Though Justin and Brody are happy to drink a toast with Phoebe, it's starting to feel like a romantic triangle is forming.
Also today, Nate is disappointed when work gossip threatens to curb his new friendship with Tori.

Continuing Higher Education Review, v74 p62-72 Fall 2010
Online programs and courses are established presences in higher education, and so are processes such as online registration. Prospective students routinely turn to the web for information to help them decide on the most appropriate programs for their situation. Digital public relations (digital PR) is rapidly becoming one of the cornerstones of an effective competitive strategy, and by efficiently combining marketing, search engine optimization, and digital PR to promote news about the professional and continuing education programs of the university, University Professional & Continuing Education Association (UPCEA) member institutions will reach millions of people searching for information online daily. In this article, the author, who is the director of marketing for Linfield College's Division of Continuing Education, relates how she employs digital PR to produce significant increases in visitors to the institution's website and to targeted webpages by prospective students conducting searches that are a close match with the university's professional and continuing education programs.

By 2050, port actors connect/integrate maritime and hinterland logistics to a point where they offer the lowest cost, the fastest reliable service with zero waste and emissions in a safe and secure environment. Port will be able to:
Maritime transport is part of complex logistics chains and transport networks where ports are key nodes linking maritime and hinterland logistics. Therefore, maritime transport and ports are not isolated and their challenges are those of the logistics and transport system.
The waterborne sector should play a lead role in the integration of maritime and hinterland logistics. The development of the maritime container is an example of this lead position in the past that brought this integration to a higher level through standardisation in an intermodal transport chain.
The logistics sector is facing the new challenges of the logistics and transport global system (characterised by capacity, efficiency, environmental, social and security concerns) through the development of new concepts like the physical internet that involve innovations in modularisation, collaboration schemes, robotisation and artificial intelligence and other IT technologies. This requires a new jump on the integration of maritime and hinterland logistics where the waterborne sector and ports should keep a leading position.
The European waterborne sector should identify and develop different lines of research and innovations in order to keep this leadership for the integration of maritime and hinterland logistics and contribute to reach the vision of the future.

Hotels And The Things You Should Be Aware OfYou know where you're going. Have you priced the tickets or made the plans to drive? It's finally time to book the hotel? Just how should you go about finding the best hotel for your money? Begin by reading the information provided by following article. There you can find tips to help you choose a great hotel.
Prior to booking a hotel, refer to TripAdvisor and similar online travel review sites. Reviews allow you to read about recent experiences at a hotel. Factor former guests' reviews into your final decision.
To ensure that you get the best service from the custodial staff at a hotel, leave a few dollars each morning for each bed that you use. This nominal cost will help you get rooms that receive the little extras, such as a towel or two more, or even an extra pillow.
If you belong to any organizations, find out if they get any discount from certain hotel chains. romantic beach vacations of them offer hotel discounts to members. You may save ten percent or more. These discounts can save you quite a bit of cash, particularly if your stay involves several nights. It can add up to almost a free hotel night!
Find out what perks are offered on hot water shower before deciding the extra premium isn't worth the cost. At some hotels, staying on a club floor can mean benefits like free food and even full meals. Factor up the potential expenses of paying for those on their own, and you might see that an upgrade can actually save you money.
To help your family get into the hotel as comfortably as possible when you are pulling in for a late-night checkin, pull the car under the porte cochere, and leave the engine running while you go inside to check in. Even if you don't get lucky enough to get to have a room close to the front and have to drive to another entrance, this minimizes the traipsing that they have to do.
In Pursuit of the Beyond
It's a Sunday noon. I'm at the San José airport, looking out of the massive glass façade awaiting my flight. Light and water meet and a rainbow graces the sky — as though in an implicit promise of the bounty to come, like a bridge between ground reality and lofty dreams. Could this trip be as productive as ever? I'm about to find out. My previous tours to Costa Rica have been spectacular. After all, the cloud forests of this country, whose name is a somewhat-understated geographical description (Costa Rica literally translates to 'rich coast'), host a dizzying 500,000 species. There's more species per unit area here than in any other country on the planet. In Pursuit of the Beyond
If you are interested in "going green" when traveling, try going to a "green" hotel. Start by looking for these hotels online. There are several organizations that let you search for these hotels easily like Green Hotels Association and Green Globe. They will have a comprehensive list of green hotels in different locations.
To enjoy a tropical destination a bit more quietly, stay away from the large, all-inclusive resorts that bring in quantity but also feature nonstop partying. Instead, choose a smaller resort that also offers shuttles to the major local attractions. You'll have a stay that is more on your terms, especially when it's time to sit out on your patio in the quiet of the night.
When traveling with small children, try to choose a hotel that caters to them. Most hotels offer cribs. Some have playgrounds and/or pools to help keep your kids entertained. Some even offer or children's programs during the day or babysitters at night. Many hotels do not charge extra for children under a certain age to stay in the same room with their parents.
Inquire if the hotel is a non-smoking hotel. If you are not a smoker, you probably want to avoid staying in a smoking room. You could still get a non-smoking room, but smoke can flow through the air and settle on your clothes. There are times when smokers light up in a non-smoking room. To be sure you don't absorb cigarette smoke, think about staying at a nonsmoking hotel.
Use social media to your advantage if you want to get fresh deals on hotel stays. Many hotels offer deals and freebies to people that "Like" their page. In addition, giving them praise on social media is a great way to snag an upgrade and/or a special rate that has not been advertised.
When you first arrive, inspect your hotel room's bathroom. This is where bedbugs are least likely to be. It makes a safe place to keep your luggage when looking for bedbugs elsewhere in the room. It is also the safest place for children and pets, too.
Become a AAA member if you want to make arranging hotel accommodations a bit simpler. Members of AAA receive many travel benefits including reduced hotel rates and lower car rental rates. Those with youngsters will be grateful for the free car seats.
To get the most out of a hotel room on a business trip, look online at the various choices to see which places offer a free happy hour. At the end of a long day of meetings, having a free margarita or beer at your hotel before getting ready for dinner can be quite pleasant.
If you want to save money when booking a hotel room, call the hotel directly. Tell them you're interested in receiving a good deal. Let them know of any discount you may qualify for. This can include government rates, senior rates, auto association cards or rates for business travelers.
To ensure that you don't leave anything behind when you are checking out of a hotel, make a sweep through the room after you've packed your bags. Open every drawer, check down on the floor by each bed, and check every outlet to make sure that you haven't left any chargers plugged in.
When you have are trying to decide between two hotels, go online and see what the reviews say. Look for reviews that ring true and give actual descriptions of what was good or bad about the hotel. The reviews may also include realistic pictures of the hotel that won't be featured on the picture perfect hotel website.
Did you receive a newspaper outside of your hotel room this morning? If so, chances are you will be charged for it. To avoid being charged for an unwanted newspaper, take the newspaper to the front desk and inform the desk clerk that you do not wish to receive a newspaper during your stay.
Nothing can ruin a family vacation more quickly than a stay in a dirty, grimy hotel. You want your family to remember the good times about the trip, not the disgusting hotel room that you had to stay in. Remember the advice you have read here to make the right hotel reservation.

Hair transplantation. 9 frequent questions about hair transplant.
1) What is hair transplantation?
Hair transplantation is a surgical technique that moves bald-resistant hair follicles from donor cites, such as around the ears or the back of the head to a bald or balding part of the body.
2) How long does a hair transplant procedure take?
A typical hair transplantation procedure lasts between 4 to 6 hours depending on the skin and hair structure, transplantation technique, and the size of the bald or balding area.
3) Does the hair transplant procedure hurt?
Hair transplantation is a pain-free process. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Some patients feel mild discomfort due to some amount of soreness or numbness.
4) When will the newly transplanted hair start to grow?
The success of the hair transplant procedure depends on the graft (hair set) preparation and the implementation of the appropriate transplantation technique. If the aforementioned factors are implemented correctly, the success rate is close to 100 percent. About 3 months after the procedure date, the newly transplanted hair starts to grow visibly. Within 6 months, more than half of the hair should grow. The process is usually completed fully in one year.
5 )What is the recovery time?
Following the hair transplantation procedure (first 2-3 days), the patient will typically notice pink spots in areas where new hair is transplanted. These spots will heal rapidly within a week. Most patients feel comfortable being in public without covering their heads within 5 to 7 days following the surgery.
6) What should I do after the hair transplantation procedure is completed?
Our doctors will provide you this information and many other questions that may come to your mind during the preliminary discussions both verbally and in writing.
7) Are the results permanent?
Yes. The hair follicles that are transplanted to the balding areas are genetically resistant to balding. They will continue to grow for a lifetime.
8)Will people know I had a hair transplant?
Hair transplantation, when done right, will look natural. This natural look depends on the restoration of the previous hairline, the accurate calculation of the growing direction of individual hairs, and implementation of the correct and suitable transplantation techniques. The skills and techniques of hair transplant surgeons vary widely, so it is important to choose the right practitioners.
9) Who will perform the hair transplantation procedure?
Hair transplantations should be performed by medical aesthetic professionals, dermatologists and plastic surgeons in hospitals or adequately equipped health centers, while keeping in mind that the auxiliary health personnel should also be experienced in this area.

Calls are free from landlines and mobiles
A 36 year old epileptic man went 20 years without diagnosis or treatment. He suffered from depression and seizures that damaged his spine. He was awarded:
Epilepsy is a relatively common condition across the UK, affecting both children and adults. But that doesn't mean that the condition is any less distressing. The seizures associated with the condition can be terrifying, especially if the reason for them is unknown due to misdiagnosis and medical negligence.
For those that have experienced a delay in diagnosis, it means that treatment to control the condition is also delayed, potentially having a serious impact on their quality of life and the chance of complications occurring. We know that after a delayed diagnosis an epilepsy misdiagnosis lawsuit may be the last thing on your mind but it can help you hold those responsible to account and receive financial compensation.
While winning a medical negligence claim won't undo the suffering that has already been caused, it can help you take a step forward. The money secured, for instance, can be used for further medical treatment that could improve your condition or help you cover expenditure while you take time off work to recover.
Our expert and friendly solicitors are on hand to offer you support every step of the way. With a wealth of knowledge and experience in supporting those affected by medical negligence, they could help you too. From the very beginning of the process when you reach out to us to representing you in court if necessary, you know you have the backing the Your Legal Friend team whenever you need it.
If you would like to bring a medical claim forward after experiencing misdiagnosed epilepsy, you have three years to make your claim, the same time limit placed on all medical claims.
If you do not claim within the set time period, your claim will be considered 'statute barred' or 'out of time' and will unfortunately not be taken further. There are two exceptions to this rule, in the case of children and if the negligence directly led to a fatality. In these cases suing the NHS for negligence is still possible as the date on which time begins to run is the date of the child's 18th birthday, and in the case of fatalities, from the date of death.
The starting point of this timeframe is the 'date of knowledge' – the date that your first realised that you had been affected by medical negligence. In some cases, this point can occur a considerable amount of time after you first spoke to a medical professional about your concerns and symptoms. For this reason, it can be difficult to pinpoint exactly how long you have to act. If you're unsure, Your Legal Friend is here to help. Using our knowledge and experience of the legal process, we'll be able to tell you when your time limit ends.
The exception to this rule is if you were affected as a child. In many cases, epilepsy first develops during childhood and you can bring a claim forward as an adult. In these cases, you have three years to act from the date of your eighteenth birthday.
While you do have a maximum of three years to take action, we advise that you do so as soon as you're able. This not only means that the medical claim is put behind you quicker but it can make it easier to obtain medical records, witness statements, and other supporting documentation to build your case on.
Throughout your claim, Your Legal Friend will help you every step of the way
I am very happy and satisfied with the settlement you achieved for me and the service was excellent and thank you very much
Mrs E. Swaffield
Our medical negligence team has years of experience working on a wide variety of misdiagnosis cases so we understand just how difficult a decision it can be to bring an epilepsy case.
That's why we are committed to guiding you through every step of the process. We ensure that your claim is handled carefully and professionally by our specialist solicitors, while working alongside medical experts, to guarantee the best results for you.
Our medical misdiagnosis team is headed by Laura Morgan who has a wealth of experience in leading complicated, high value epilepsy cases.
Laura is recognised within the legal profession as a leader in the field of medical negligence and serious injury compensation.

Laura has achieved a number of large settlements including £5.4 million for a 7 year old and £4 million for an 11 year old child.
Laura's expertise and dedication to her clients is recognised in the Chambers guide to the Legal Profession in which she was praised for the efficiency of her approach to case handling and described as "tenacious and detail-oriented".
Laura has been a member of the Law Society Clinical Negligence Panel since 2005 and accredited as a Senior Litigator in the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) since 2006. Laura is also a member of the specialist lawyers panel for Action against Medical Accidents (AvMA), the UK's leading charity committed to patient safety and justice.
The effects of medical negligence can be devastating for the individual and their families, so securing appropriate compensation for them as quickly as possible is our top priority.
Laura Morgan
Director of Medical Negligence
Pay nothing if you lose your case, get maximum compensation if you win
Whatever the nature of your epliepsy claim, we always seek the maximum level of compensation for our clients – and if your case is unsuccessful, we don't charge you any fees. This is our guarantee for all standard epilepsy claims.
With our no win, no fee guarantee, you pay nothing, unless you win your compensation claim. At that point you will only pay your insurance premium, if applicable, and the success fee, which will never be more than 25% of the amount you win.
We ask you to sign forms of authority so that we can obtain your medical records from your GP and any hospitals that have treated you.
As the medical experts we instruct need to know what happened during your treatment, we work with you to draft a detailed, accurate statement in your own words.
You are responsible for minimising the losses you have incurred as a result of the alleged medical negligence, so you need to attend any available treatments that could aid your recovery. You may also need to return to work as soon as it's safe to do so.
You must prove that the treatment you received fell below the standard expected of a reasonably competent and skilful medical specialist of the type who treated you and that, as a result, you suffered a loss or injury. To do this, we obtain independent medical evidence from an expert in the appropriate area of medicine.
We have to establish whether the sub-standard treatment you received is likely to have led to your injury or loss. As this can be difficult to establish, you may need to see one or more medical experts who will assess your current condition and what the future holds for you.
The value of your claim comprises:
You need to keep all original financial documents safe as these will be needed when we prepare your case to go to Court. These documents include accounts, payslips, and receipts for expenses and medical treatments.
Although only a small number of cases proceed to a trial, we prepare every case for this eventuality.
The trial takes place before a Circuit or High Court judge who will make a decision based on the evidence we have prepared.
If you win your case, the amount of compensation will be decided by negotiation with the defendant or, if your case goes to trial, by the judge. The defendant will usually be ordered to pay us the costs we have incurred in preparing your case. We will also agree a date by which your compensation will be paid to us so that we can pay your compensation as quickly as possible.
If you have been affected by medical negligence you may be able to make a claim against those responsible. Successful epilepsy misdiagnosis claims must demonstrate both that medical negligence was to blame for the delay in diagnosis and that is caused undue suffering.
Showing that your suffering was the result of medical negligence can take a variety of forms depending on your personal circumstances. For instance it could show:
Epilepsy misdiagnosis compensation claims can help you reflect how you've been affected by medical negligence and support you with moving forward.
Epilepsy often develops during childhood and can be distressing for the whole family, especially if misdiagnosis has occurred. It is possible for parents to make epilepsy misdiagnosis claims if their child has been affected. You will still need to follow the usual processes, such as acting within three years from the 'date of knowledge' and building a case that proves medical negligence was to blame. If you would like to make a claim as a parent, our epilepsy misdiagnosis lawyers are on hand.
Each epilepsy misdiagnosis malpractice claim is different and this is reflected in the compensation that claimants are awarded. Misdiagnosis of epilepsy compensation takes a range of factors into consideration and as a result it's not possible to state how much compensation you could receive without first listening to your experiences.
If you want to take your claim forward, our expert team are on hand to offer you advice. Using their knowledge from supporting those affected by medical negligence, they will be able to tell you how much epilepsy misdiagnosis compensation you could receive. We will work with you to place a value on your claim that accurately reflects how you've been affected, from undue suffering to having to take extended time off work due to GP misdiagnosis of epilepsy.
Epilepsy misdiagnosis cases that are the result of medical negligence have up to three years to be brought forward. If you would like to make a claim, we can help you.
You have three years from the 'date of knowledge' to make a claim and we understand that sometimes it can be difficult to identify this starting point. Misdiagnosis of epilepsy can be complex but we can use our skills to unravel the details and find the point that you first realised when you had been let down, legally referred to as the 'date of knowledge'.
While you do have up to three years to make your claim, we recommend that you act sooner. Taking swift action can make it easier to build your case, which will include gathering documents, such as medical records, and witness statements to support your case. We know that it can be a daunting process. But with Your Legal Friend by your side, we can make your misdiagnosed epilepsy lawsuit as smooth and stress free as possible.
In the UK, more than one in every 100 people have epilepsy. It's a condition that affects the brain and causes repeated seizures. While the condition can often be controlled through treatment, it's distressing and can have damage a person's quality of life.
Epilepsy can start at any point in a person's life but it more commonly develops during childhood.
There are several different types of epilepsy and these can have different causes, symptoms, and treatment options. The multiple types of epilepsy can mean that misdiagnosed epilepsy cases occur.
In some epilepsy cases there aren't any known causes of the condition. The brain is a mix of nerve cells, electrical impulses, and neurotransmitter chemicals. Damage to the brain can disrupt how the brain works and cause seizures.
Epilepsy is split into two categories – Idiopathic epilepsy and symptomatic epilepsy.
Idiopathic epilepsy
This is where there is no known cause for epilepsy, although some people may have a family history of the condition. Many people are diagnosed with this type of epilepsy. It's been suggested that there are genetic causes for the condition developing in some people. But while research is currently being carried out, evidence hasn't confirmed this yet.
Symptomatic epilepsy
This type of epilepsy is where there is a known cause. While epilepsy overall is more common in children, symptomatic epilepsy is more often seen in adults, particularly those aged over 60. Reasons for symptomatic epilepsy include:
Those that are diagnosed with epilepsy can find that their seizures associated with the condition are brought on by certain circumstances, although this isn't the case for everyone. Triggers include:
The main symptom of epilepsy is common, repeated seizures. However, there are many different types of seizures depending on the area of the brain that is affected and those with the condition may experience more than one type of seizure.
Seizures that are labelled 'partial' or 'focal' indicate that only a small part of the brain is affected during the seizure, while generalised seizures affect most or all of the brain. Some seizures may also be 'unclassified'.
There are two main types of focal seizures:
There are six main types of generalised seizures:
Epilepsy is recognised as a condition that is difficult to diagnose. This is because there are many other conditions that have similar symptoms, leading to a delay in epilepsy diagnosis. Those affected will often experience more than one seizure before they receive an accurate diagnosis.
If you've been experiencing symptoms, you will typically make an appointment with your doctor. It's important to describe the symptoms and seizures in as much detail as possible. Sometimes, it is possible for a doctor to make a diagnosis based on the symptoms you have described. In other cases, further testing may be required.
While both an EEG and MRI scan can be used to achieve a diagnosis, it is possible to have epilepsy even if they don't return positive results. If your doctor fails to follow-up test results and investigate your symptoms further, it can mean a delayed diagnosis of epilepsy.
While the condition is difficult to diagnose, you should be able to rely on those responsible for your care to take all reasonable steps to achieve a diagnosis. Where you've experienced undiagnosed epilepsy that's the result of medical negligence, you may be able to make a failure to diagnose epilepsy compensation claim. A missed epilepsy diagnosis can have a serious impact on those that are living with the condition and compensation can help reflect some of the harm it has caused.
Once you've been diagnosed with epilepsy, it's often possible to treat the condition. For some people, this can simply be learning what triggers their seizures and avoiding these. There are also anti-epileptic drugs that allow around 70% of people to control their seizures.
Implants that send electrical messages to the brain and a special diet for children that don't respond to medication, are also options. Depending on the cause of epilepsy and which part of the brain it's affecting, brain surgery may also be an option. If successful, surgery can potentially completely cure the condition.
In most cases treatment allows that affected by epilepsy to control their symptoms and go about their daily routines as normal. However, where late epilepsy diagnosis has occurred, it can mean that those affected live with seizures longer than they need to. If this has been the result of medical negligence, it may be possible for those affected to make a failure to diagnose claim to reflect the undue suffering experienced.
The seizures associated with epilepsy aren't the only way the condition can affect a sufferer's life, there are complications too. In rare cases, the brain can be damaged by seizure activity, affecting parts of the brain that can lead to cognitive and behavioural difficulties.
Misdiagnosed epilepsy can mean that vital treatment for controlling seizures is delayed, increasing the likelihood of complications occurring. If you've, experienced doctor misdiagnosed epilepsy, you may be able to make a claim if medical negligence was to blame.
Epilepsy symptoms can mimic other conditions, resulting in epilepsy misdiagnosis. Wrong epilepsy diagnosis can mean a delay in treatment being delivered, having a serious affect on daily routines and increasing the risk of complications happening.
Having a seizure doesn't automatically mean that a person has epilepsy. There are other conditions that can be mistaken for the condition and vice versa, leading to a delay in diagnosis of epilepsy. Wrong epilepsy diagnosis can occur, if your symptoms are linked to one of the following conditions:
There aren't any official epilepsy misdiagnosis statistics. However, previous re has shown how easily it is for misdiagnosis to occur. It's estimated that more than 90,000 people in England and Wales are wrongly given a diagnosis of epilepsy, with the condition being mistaken for others with similar symptoms.
While most patients in the UK are diagnosed and treated quickly when they're suffering with epilepsy, there are cases of epilepsy misdiagnosis. Among misdiagnosed epilepsy stories is:
According to Epilepsy Action, there are around 600,000 people in the UK living with epilepsy and everyday 87 new people are diagnosed with the disease. There are more than 40 types of seizures and some people can experience more than one type. During their lifetime around 5 in every 100 people will have an epileptic seizure and out of these four will develop epilepsy.
Only around 53% of people with epilepsy in the UK are seizure free. However, it's estimated that 70% could be seizure free with the right treatment, highlighting the importance of effective treatment.

The lightness of the design, joined with the best of Gibus technology, characterize this new model of pergola in painted aluminum.The design of the joint with a sharp corner between the leg and the guide, and the innovative wall mount, take the level of product finishing to new standards. The pitch awning in blackout PVC, which protects from sun and rain, ends at the mobile gutter equipped with lateral drains.
In order to guarantee the down flow of rainwater the structure must have a slope between 8% and 19% (refer to the tables for the calculation of the slopes in the current price list). The gathered cloth lets light pass. The absence of frontal beams permits the eye to freely wander from the horizon to the sky, in the sober lightness of the structure. The awning movement system is on lateral guides with a high-resistance timing belt, rotating on ball bearings.
Stainless steel brackets, painted aluminum fusions and the patented joint system between the leg and the guide enrich the structure, which permits creating installations by following the angles in a versatile way into different design needs. Nylon sliding carriages with wheels equipped with stainless steel bearings and pivots complete the movement system of the automated awning.

Interior lighting is a central aspect of your home's design. You can manipulate your home's atmosphere just by how you position the lighting and the kind of fixtures you use. Lighting design also changes from room to room. What works in the living room will not necessarily work in the kitchen or the bedroom. The lighting has to reflect the functions and feel of each space. Like any other part of interior décor, lighting design keeps changing. Technology is one reason for these changes. As manufacturers come up with advanced fixtures and bulbs, homeowners incorporate them into their homes. Tastes and preferences also change with generations. That is why we have vintage lighting, Art Deco, Mid-century Modern and so on. While 2017 will not bring any radical changes in lighting design, there are several notable trends every homeowner should take note of.
Retro and Industrial Styles
Industrial has always been about rustic finishes, neutral colors and an emphasis on metal. We are seeing retro making a comeback but in a different way. If you look at modern industrial lighting, there are some stark differences to what you know as traditional industrial.
How to use it: Use modern retro lighting to create a unique twist to an area. These lighting designs are popular for places like the kitchen work area, above the dining area or as wall lighting. You can even use the fixture itself as a piece of art on the wall or the centerpiece of your home. Do not be afraid of industrial. It is no longer the brutal, "unfinished" style that belongs to a niche of retro punk fans. With its updated look, it fits perfectly in any 21st century décor.
Soft Gold is the New Popular Finish
Lately, there has been a spike in the popularity of soft colors. Homeowners have fallen in love with colors such as grey and greige (grey plus beige).
Soft gold lighting fixtures come in a variety of styles and designs. For overhead lighting, look for fixtures that accentuate the gold. You can also check for fixtures that complement the soft gold with other soft colors like grey or matte silver. Use soft gold lighting to attract attention to specific corners or areas of your living room. A great idea is a soft gold reading lamp illuminating the reading chair and shelf at the corner.
Vintage Edison-Style Bulbs
The retro look keeps nudging–we have another upcoming style for you. Vintage Edison-style bulbs add to the 2017 retro lighting trend with homeowners loving the nostalgic design of these fixtures.
These lights are a great place to start if you are looking for a soft introduction to the retro style. They are not extreme industrial, have a certain comfy feel to them and you can find plenty of updated designs in the market.
Bigger is Better
For certain areas of the house, homeowners are falling in love with bigger fixtures. The aim is to create a "Wow" factor and attract instant attention. More than lighting, these fixtures act as centerpieces. Some come with ornate designs that focus all the attention in a space on the fixture. Large pendant lighting fixtures can be used over the kitchen island, over the dining table, at the foyer and along exterior footpaths among other areas.
Less Clutter, Cleaner Lines
Modern décor is based mostly on clean forms. Whether it is a modern couch, a modern kitchen or modern lighting, excessive ornamentation is losing favor. Today, homeowners are opting for simpler and cleaner lighting designs that fit in perfectly among modern decors. The minimalism trend will become even more popular in 2017 as more low-profile fixtures enter the market.

I had this very long conversation with a friend....
He told me how he really wanted to hurt his girlfriend(or rather ex) he said he loves because of what she did to him. And I asked why he'd want to hurt someone he claims to love cause if you truly love someone genuinely, you'd never want to inflict pain on that person no matter what.
It's true that sometimes those we care for do things that really drive us crazy. It's okay to get upset over their actions, but one thing I'm sure of is that love is not vengeful. In a relationship, you don't play the "if you do me I do you" game at all. Then it's a loveless thing you got going on there. True love is sincere, forgiving and not bitter. True love will not make the other party suffer because of what he/she may have done in the past. True love never takes advantage of the other person's mistakes and allow it to linger for a long time. Seriously if you feel the need to make someone pay or do your every bidding because you're holding an offence over him/her, sweetie you are a jerk! Just let the relationship go instead of hurting yourselves.
Even when you've been heartbroken and disappointed by a loved one, revenge never really ends well. It doesn't make you feel better about yourself. If you've ever been burned bad and you're struggling with the ideas of vengeance, try to see whatever you may have experienced as a lesson. Believe you were meant to get hurt just so you learn a thing or two. Once you do that, you learn to forgive and be at peace with yourself. Revenge can degrade your true self worth. You stoop down to level lower than theirs. You give them power over you and also keeping the door open for them to respond.
Yes the hunger for vengeance is not intentional, I know. It's a basic human response related to trust. When you're heartbroken and hurt you become obsessed; the pain is a bit too much and you just want them to validate that you indeed mattered to them at all. Sweetie if that person that hurt you did so intentionally knowing it would hurt you, as hard as it is to accept, they in fact don't care. The illusion they may have presented you was a façade.
You are much more than a scorned vengeful being. If you gave your relationship your all and you did love them, don't hurt them. Leave them to the natural phenomenon Karma. The universe always has its own ways of setting the balance right. Forgive them and forgive yourself. Show that your love was pure, real and honest. Wish them the best life has to offer. It may seem difficult but just take it one step at a time. Be happy they did what they did when they did it. That's how most good things begin to happen. If your relationship ended because of what they did, take it in good faith. Thank them for everything. They've done you a huge favor. Stop looking for what to do to get back at them. I know you have some other work to focus your attention and energy on. REVENGE IS FOR THE WEAK!
In all, whether you're both still in the relationship or not, stay true to whom you set out to be when you got into the relationship. Don't change and become a mean old vengeful grump or someone that just derives joy in the pain of others. Show you have more strength than they think. Continue to live a good life.
So my darlings, that's the much I can say today. What do you think? Talk with Krystal :)

So, who here has had their H bag rained on? Which leather and color was it and what was the outcome?
this will be intesting and good to know!
Hadn't happened to me, but i have seen a lady spilling drinks on her ostrich Hermes bag. THe bag was COMPLETELY soaked (and let me tell you, the drink has COLOR!). But guess what? 15 minutes later the bag was dry and I couldn't see any spots.
Yes, I was stealing glances at the restaurant at the bag...
ostrich is great in the rain. I've gotten rain drops on my rouge H togo (not a downpoor) and it was fine after I wiped it with a cloth.
rain, hail, snow, hand lotion, unidentified chemical lubricant for a bike, and general nyc life has landed on my bag. raisin clemence. looks perfect.
^^ LOL! Go raisin clemence!
no kidding.
talk about worth-every-penny.
Wow HH!! That's impressive - I have had rain and snow on my ostrich and agree....nothing! Actually it's supposed to rain tomorrow and am going to Boston and thought about bringing it...but am bringing my bolide instead....in chevre - which I feel is very durable - actually I think most are....I think box leather has been one to worry some in the rain?
i've had piping hot mocha splashed on my etoupe clemence (barista newbie). it was fine after i wiped it off.
oh wow, i didn't even like reading about that. adding a temperature to the whole equation is taking it to another level. piping hot mocha
is fjord as tough as clemence? does anyone know?
I've heard fjord is the toughest leather...actually considered water resistant, I believe. Fjord is lovely...I think it's becoming one of my favorite leathers.
ah. i thought that was chevre - that it was the toughest.
if it's fjord, cool.
I have found on occasions coffee stains on my Fjord birkin and have been able to clean it with water without problems. I guess it is quite resistant. Great for me cuz I am clumsy.
I thought ostrich was the toughest?
Good to know..My Hac is Fjord.
