Kim Basinger Plastic Surgery Before and After
Posted on November 10, 2014 by Jena Leave a comment
Early Life, Modeling and Acting Career
Born on December 8, 1953, Kim Basinger rose to prominence for her notable role of Bond girl Domino Petachi in Never Say Never Again, which was released in 1983. This was followed by other remarkable performances in the films The Natural, for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe for her role as Memo Paris, 9½ Weeks (1986), and for her portrayal of Vicki Vale in Batman (1989).
Basinger's mother, Ann Lee, was also an actress who starred in numerous Esther Williams films, while her father, Donald Wade Basinger, was a big band musician and loan manager. She has two brothers and one sister. As a child, she studied ballet until her mid-teens. At age 16, she began modeling as she won the Athens Junior Miss contest. She subsequently won the title of "Junior Miss Georgia".
After competing in the national Junior Miss pageant, she was offered a modeling contract by the Ford Modeling Agency but opted to decline as she was more interested in singing and acting. She then enrolled at the University of Georgia but soon reconsidered modeling so she traveled to New York City and became a Ford model.
After becoming a Ford model, she began appearing on covers of various magazines and has since appeared in over a hundred of ads throughout the early 1970s. While working as a model, she studied acting at the Neighborhood Playhouse on the side. She eventually quit modeling to become an actress by appearing in such TV shows as McMillan & Wife and Charlie's Angels.
Her entry into the acting industry proved to be highly effective as Basinger has successfully transitioned from a cover girl to an A-list star, thanks to her memorable characters on the big screen. Being in the entertainment industry for over four decades, Basinger has certainly made herself an icon of beauty, glamour and talent. However, all kinds of fame comes with a price. Rumors, speculations and other forms of invading one's privacy is something that most celebrities have to face in exchange for their popularity.
Now 60, Basinger faces lots of questions about the possibility of going under the knife to interfere with aging. In the past, observers and even plastic surgeons have expressed their curiosity over the actress' activities in terms of cosmetic procedures. Despite her age, the actress still possesses an incredible complexion that got people wondering if she's had some help.
Has Kim Basinger Gone Under the Knife?
However, Basinger has since brushed off such rumors questioning her natural beauty and maintained her stance that she's never had plastic surgery of any sorts. Her daughter with actor Alec Baldwin, Ireland, seems to agree with her mother's claim as the 19-year-old fashion model has praised Basinger through social media for looking natural all these years.
The young model tweeted: "You are the most naturally beautiful woman there ever was and will be. Your skin care, workouts and advice on eating healthy inspire me to do the same. Ladies, if you want to avoid Botox and any other skin treatments, listen to my mom! She hasn't had one treatment done because she's stay completely out of the sun all these years."
Rising to worldwide fame after appearing as a Bond girl in 1983's Never Say Never Again opposite Sean Connery, the actress continued dominating the big screen for her subsequent performances in the feature films The Natural and 9½ Weeks. Her fame was cemented by her portrayal of Vicki Vale in 1989's Batman, which became both a huge commercial and critical success, grossing over $400 million.
In the early 1990s, she has starred in the movies The Marrying Man, Final Analysis, The Real McCoy, Wayne's World 2 and The Getaway before gaining critical acclaim for her portrayal of Lynn Bracken in L.A. Confidential, for which she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Her other films include I Dreamed of Africa, 8 Mile, Cellular, The Sentinel and Charlie St. Cloud, among others.

Project Denneler: Vote for Bea!
Last week, I signed Bea up for the Favorite Face Contest – a fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, sponsored by Rylee & Reece and Lisa Hardin Portait Design.
Lisa is an amazingly talented photographer in Wichita. And I was shocked to see Miss Bea's smiling face on the homepage of Lisa's website today!
What amazes me most, is the fact that Lisa was able to get any kind of photo at all that wasn't a complete blur. Bea was a crazy, Tasmanian devil that day and wouldn't sit still for anything. I know exactly the moment when this picture was taken – they gave her an orange M&M and she stopped jumping on the couch for two seconds to smile and chew it up. Whew.
So if you live in Wichita, head to Rylee & Reece on 29th & Rock Road, and vote for Bea, March 10-17th ! (They have the cutest clothes, by the way.) The winner of the Favorite Face Contest gets a gift certificate and a family photo session. Although, I don't know if Lisa can handle another shoot with Bea. She should win an award for Most Patient Photographer.

Ponta Delgada ist eine portugiesische Gemeinde (Freguesia) der Azoren-Insel Flores. Sie gehört zum Kreis (Concelho) von Santa Cruz das Flores und hat  Einwohner (Stand ).

Geografie und Verkehr
In Ponta Delgada beginnt die Inselhauptstraße R 1-2, die an der Ostküste über Santa Cruz nach Lajes das Flores führt. Die südwestliche Nachbargemeinde Fajã Grande ist auf direktem Wege nur über einen alten Saumpfad zu erreichen, der heute als Wanderweg (PR 1 FLO) ausgeschildert ist.

Geschichte und Sehenswürdigkeiten
Ponta Delgada wurde in der zweiten Hälfte des 16. Jahrhunderts gegründet und ist eine der drei ältesten Gemeinden auf Flores. Die Kirche Igreja de São Pedro im Ortszentrum wurde 1763 auf den Resten einer älteren Kapelle errichtet. Zwei Kilometer westlich von Ponta Delgada steht am Kap Ponta do Albarnaz der 1925 in Betrieb genommene westlichste Leuchtturm Europas, der Farol do Albarnaz.

…sum-sum summertime. Yes, I know it's May 30th. And, Memorial Day. And while we reverently remember those we have lost, we also know that this marks the Beginning of the Summer Season! Can you imagine if we all waited until the actual solstice of June 20th to bring on the Season? Retailers of all kinds…hello, Thrasher's…would miss a month of tourist dollars; the homeschooling families, neighbors over the northern border and Snow Birds would have their schedules trampled. The tragedy goes on and on.
Those of us that are mid-county can generally tip-toe to shopping, work and fun via one back road or another. Much of our summer, we just enjoy the long-lighted days and follow the corn growing.
Of course like our dear Laura, my grandbabies are Beach Kids through and through. From the time they can first get their toes into the water…frozen though they may be…until that last day well into September, they are there. Hour after hour. Life is so good.

Ah, to be young, fancy-free…and on the beach! We lived in Muskegon and my fondest memories of childhood summers are centered on Lake Michigan and going to the beach, both there and in Chicago, on the other side of the Lake, This is a priceless shot and the Littles are gettin' so big! Look at em! Love!

Jen was hatched with a deep love for the most nerdy of things, and a desire to commit those things to paper, and then later to fashion for people to enjoy. As a youth, she gained a fanatical obsession for CRPGs like Baldur's Gate 2 and Planescape: Torment, which naturally led her into enjoying the tabletop and greater roleplaying communities. She turned this love of roleplaying into a nifty comic called Mystic Revolution, and had fun exploring those adventures and stories for 10 years.
When she is not scouring the internet for the hottest memes or drawing funny-looking round animals, she can be found on the fields of Summoner's Rift or trying to take over the world in her local Vampire: The Masquerade LARP group.

I'd like to elaborate on this. My two cents.
large positive pixel values after you convert, hence the bias.
legitimate signals out of the image.
unless it has that certain "je ne sais quoi"

Ban on disposable plastic: What you need to know consumer now
On our oceans, up to 140 million tons of plastic. To the flood of garbage, has reached an agreement with the EU on a far-reaching ban of single-use plastic. FOCUS Online explains what this means for consumers.
What has been decided by the EU?
The EU is making in the fight against excessive plastic waste Seriously: Starting in 2021, a far-reaching ban of single-use plastic is to apply. From the market, among other things, cotton swabs, plastic utensils and drinking straws to be taken accordingly. The ban will only be in about two years, since the agreement must be approved by the negotiators finally by the Parliament and the member States.
In addition, to be recycled. By 2025, all PET plastic bottles in the EU should consist of a minimum of 25 percent recycled plastic, said the Austrian presidency of the Council. By 2030, this binding target should be raised to 30 percent.
What products are banned?
The EU has it apart especially on single-use plastic, i.e., products that usually be used only once, and after a short time thrown away. Among the products banned
Straws plastic
Cotton swabs with plastic share
Balloon holder is made of plastic
small plastic packaging
Disposable cups and lids made of plastic
The environment Committee in the EU Parliament want to in addition use lightweight plastic bags and certain foamed plastics on the ban list, as it is known, for example, of the white boxes for Take-away food.
What can I use instead?
Be banished, only items for which there is from the point of view of the EU Commission's Alternative. As a replacement for plastic drinking straws from paper or reusable made of a harder plastic, for example, come in question. Also, cotton swabs are already in a plastic-free version made from bamboo and cotton.
Our editor lived for a month without plastic. Here geht's to your plastic free-diary
What is the penalty for violation?
For all products that fall under the agreed Directive, will apply the so-called extended producer responsibility: The manufacturer can cost about the clean-up involved by the littering of their products.
A special regulation is, among other things, for manufacturers of plastics containing tobacco filters were provided: As tobacco filters are the second most polluting disposables in the EU are expected to take the manufacturer in the future, the costs for public systems for the disposal of cigarette butts, said the presidency.
The ban really does something?
Disposable tableware and To-Go packaging have caused in Germany last year, almost 350,000 tonnes of waste. According to the EU Commission, Europe will be collected only about a third of the total plastic waste and recycled. Much of the rest ends up in rubbish dumps or in the environment.
Plastic decomposes very slowly and accumulates particularly in the sea and on beaches. Up to 85 percent of all in the EU, the washed-up waste are made of plastic – it is in about half of cases weggeschmissene disposable products. The ban is intended to reduce this amount drastically.

Family tells story of police invasion
By Diane Bukowski | Last updated: May 28, 2010 - 11:02:03 AM
Community outraged and mourning after police kill 7 year old girl (FCN, 05-25-2010)
DETROIT (FinalCall.com) - "As soon as they hit the window, I hit the floor and reached for my grandbaby. I saw the light go out of her eyes and blood coming out of her mouth. I had never seen anything like that before: My beautiful, gorgeous granddaughter. I can't trust them; I can't trust the Detroit police."
Vertilla Jones, 46, weeping in the arms of her daughter LaKrystal Sanders, described how Detroit police killed seven-year-old Aiyana Stanley Jones during a military-style assault on their home, on May 16. Ms. Jones spoke at a press conference held by Attorney Geoffrey Fieger May 18 as he announced the filing of two lawsuits in the case.
Ms. Jones said she and Aiyana were asleep on a couch in the lower flat's front room at about 12:30 a.m. when police tossed an incendiary stun grenade through the window directly above the couch. Atty. Fieger said Aiyana was severely burned and then shot in the head and neck by an unidentified police officer standing on the porch. He said the scene is shown in a videotape he and other attorneys watched.
Ms. Jones said she and her son, Aiyana's father Charles Jones, were forced to lie on shattered glass on the floor as police grabbed Aiyana and rushed her to a police car. The family, including three other children, Carlos, four, Pierre, two, and three-month-old Krystal, were held in the home for hours after the killing, they said. No one was allowed to accompany Aiyana to the hospital.
"My brother (Charles) was crying and begging to go with his daughter, but they wouldn't let him," Ms. Sanders said. "The police kept telling me my niece was OK."
Grandmother arrested
Vertilla Jones said police handcuffed her before she could take her blood pressure medication, then dragged her off to Detroit Receiving, where she was tested for drugs and later at police offices for gunshot residue. She said she believed she was held for eight hours.
"All that time, I couldn't be with my family," she said sorrowfully.
Assistant Chief of Police Ralph Godbee claimed at a press conference May 16 that Vertilla Jones had confronted or "had contact" with the officer who shot Aiyana, causing his gun to go off accidentally. He would not release the names of any officers involved.
Police Chief Warren Evans has been "out of the country," but was being continually briefed, Asst. Chief Godbee said.
Asst. Chief Godbee said the officers, from the department's Special Response Team, had a warrant to search both the upper and lower flats in the 4000 block of Lillibridge for a suspect in the May 13 killing of 17-year-old JeRean Blake at a nearby store.
Chauncey Owens, 34, who lives in the upper flat with a separate entrance, was arrested without resistance after Aiyana's death, said Atty. Feiger. Mr. Owens is engaged to Ms. Sanders.
Atty. Fieger disputed Asst. Chief Godbee's account, saying officers had a warrant only for the upstairs address and had to go back to get a warrant for the downstairs flat after the child's death. He said a police undercover vehicle was parked outside the home all day watching as children played outside, until Mr. Owens came out of the upper flat. Then the vehicle left, Atty. Fieger said, perhaps to get the first warrant for Mr. Owens' arrest.
At the scene of the tragedy early May 16, family and neighbors gathered outside the flat, with children's toys strewn in the front yard, expressing their sorrow, shock and anger.
Cousin warned cops that children were in home
Charles Jones cried in agony in the arms of family members, sitting next to the blood-soaked couch on which his daughter died. His family had moved it to the porch.
"It hurts so bad," he said. "I just lost my baby, she was so beautiful."
Mr. Jones, an independent contractor, said Aiyana was the second oldest of his seven children, and his only daughter.
"She was an honor roll student and very artistic," Charles Jones said. "She loved her family and friends and was very popular in school with her classmates. She loved Disney characters but lately she's been getting into Hannah Montana and Justin Bieber. She loved to dance."
Diamond Howard, seven, Aiyana's classmate, shyly displayed her photo.
"We were good friends," she said. "We played and studied and did our work together."
Mr. Jones said he was in a back room when the grenade and gunshot went off. He ran out to see what was going on, only to be forced to kneel on broken glass as police carried out Aiyana and her favorite Disney blanket, both burnt. He said that he believes if his mother had confronted a police officer as Asst. Chief Godbee claimed, she would have been dead too.
Aiyana's cousin Mark Robinson said the police detained him outside before the home invasion.
"They threw me on the ground and put their knees in my back," Mr. Robinson said. "I screamed at least eight times that there were kids in the house, before they threw the grenade and knocked the door down, yelling 'police.' "
Altogether, 12 people were in the house, including the four young children.
'Cops didn't show warrant until hours later'
Aiyana's great aunt Joann Robinson said, "I heard the boom and came out there. I had to ask a whole bunch of times for the search warrant. They didn't show it until way afterwards, about 4 or 5 a.m. as they were driving away."
Family members reported there were no weapons in the house.
Ms. Sanders said that police knocked down the upper and lower flat doors, which are on either side of the building, at the same time.
"There ain't no way this was an accident. They came here prepared to kill," said a neighbor who asked to be identified as "Michelle." "Where's the mayor; where's Warren Evans? Why is no one showing remorse to this family? They are grieving."
According to Michelle, the scene was not roped off with yellow police caution tapes or otherwise secured. Michelle said a firetruck came by earlier and washed the street down to get rid of Aiyana's blood, but spots of it could still be seen on the sidewalk.
"The mayor has publicly extended his condolences to the family, as well as responded to this tragedy," said Karen Dumas, chief of Mayor Bing's communications office. "He plans to reach out to the family at an appropriate time. However, our ability to respond is now impeded by the pending lawsuits."
At a press conference, Asst. Chief Godbee said police were too wary to come back to the area, fearing neighborhood anger. Told that the family needed money for funeral expenses, he was non-committal about police assistance. Atty. Fieger said the Rev. Al Sharpton was expected to speak at Aiyana's funeral, to be held at a local church that has offered to finance it. (See related on page 3.)
Media grills grieving family
Daily media reporters relentlessly grilled Vertilla and Charles Jones and Mark Robinson about details of the event during the press conference, eventually producing an angry outburst from a relative listening in the gallery.
Atty. Fieger advised the three not to respond to many questions. When reporters asked him if he had the name of the police officer responsible for Aiyana's death, Atty. Fieger shot back, "Why don't you get it? Isn't that your job?"
Reporters spent most of the conference asking Atty. Fieger how he obtained the videotape. He said a man came to his office May 17 with his attorney and ran the videotape on the camera which took it. He said the man feared the police and would not give Atty. Fieger a copy. Atty. Fieger said the man was local, not from A&E's "The First 48" crew which allegedly accompanied police during the raid.
Atty. Fieger said he knows the man's name but will not reveal it. He said it is possible the man is either a Detroit police officer or associated with the department.
"I just hope that this video doesn't end up deep-sixed," Atty. Fieger said. "If the Detroit police get it first, then they will do one of two things, either destroy it or move to exclude it from court testimony as prejudicial."
But he said he will question the 15 police officers on the raid team in court, and they will either tell the truth or lie about what happened. He called on them to show the "milk of human kindness" and tell the truth, and called on Chief Evans and Mayor Bing to acknowledge what had happened.
'We don't want this city to explode'
"Please don't let this child have died in vain," he asked. "We don't want this city to explode."
Atty. Fieger said the family was having an independent autopsy performed by Oakland County Medical Examiner Mark Spitz, the son of the internationally-renowned Werner Spitz, before funeral arrangements are made.
Atty. Fieger has also had his own investigators at the scene.
The lawsuits charge Officers "John Doe and Robert Row" with killing Aiyana, and then filing false reports to cover up what happened. They say neither Aiyana, her grandmother nor any other occupants of the house posed a threat to the officers.
The Detroit police have handed the investigation of the incident over to the Michigan State Police. Asst. Chief Goodbee claimed they want to assure an "independent" investigation.

Due to Covid-19, the arboretum is currently not open to personal guided tours or visitors who want to get out of their cars. However, you may schedule a drive-through tour by using the tab at www.georgian.edu (university's home page) and then use the arboretum two-page brochure or 16-page history and guide booklet (see links below) in conjunction with the university's campus map to see our sights. We are not sure when we will be able to give guided tours (updated Nov 23, 2020).
Georgian Court University was formerly the winter home of George Jay Gould, millionaire son of railroad tycoon Jay Gould. The architect Bruce Price was hired to transform the land, purchased in 1896, into a lavish country estate resembling an English estate of the Georgian period; therefore, it was named Georgian Court. In addition to designing the buildings, Bruce Price designed three of the four major gardens, which were created before 1910: the Classic or Italian Garden, the Sunken Garden or Lagoon, and the Formal Garden. The garden designer Takeo Shiota designed the Japanese Garden. The Wellness Garden was added in 2008.
Arboretum History
The Sisters of Mercy of New Jersey bought the estate in 1924, moving their College of Mount Saint Mary to the site. The college is now Georgian Court University. The entire campus is a National Historic Landmark.
The arboretum, established in 1989, is named after Sister Mary Grace Burns and comprises the landscaped part of the campus (approx. 100 acres). Our collection includes over 2,200 woody plants from over 190 species, representing most of the native species of the New Jersey Pine Barrens (New Jersey Pinelands) as well as a large number of nonnative plant species. We have several species listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List, and several trees that are the largest of their kind in Ocean County. Small Clethra alnifolia, holly and magnolia collections are located between the Italian Gardens and Formal Garden. They are mostly enclosed by aluminum fences but can be entered via a gate.
Because it is an integral part of the university campus, the arboretum is free, open daily and not marked by signs. We welcome visitors from 8 am until dusk. Please enter the arboretum via the main vehicular campus entrance off of 9th Street in Lakewood and tell the security staff you are here to see the arboretum. Please download and print a copy of the two-page arboretum brochure (which also contains a map showing attraction locations) before you come to the campus (copies of this brochure are also available in the brochure holder along the sidewalk to the main entrance of Jeffries Hall at the front of parking lot A). Consider also printing our 16-page, self-guided arboretum walking tour "history and guide" booklet (Oct. 2019 edition), which is designed to be used with the arboretum brochure. Directions and a generic campus map (without arboretum attractions shown) are available by clicking here. For what's in bloom or colorful, click here. Because we have many deer and the gardens historically featured woody plants, we do not have many annuals or perennials. The four historic gardens — Italian, Formal, Sunken and Japanese — are known for their overall themed designs, elaborate and ornate brickwork and marble, and the integration of historic (often centuries-old) statuary, sculptures, fountains (most of which are not functional), Japanese teahouse, and woody plants. Many objects were brought over from Europe and purchased by the Gould family.
Personal photographs for non-commercial and casual/informal purposes are permitted. For information about formal. staged photographs or the professional photography policy, please contact the Office of Conferences and Special Events at 732-987-2285. Click here for the wedding/wedding photo policy. For more information about the arboretum itself, including guided tours (which can be arranged for a fee) or lists of the plant collection, please contact Dr. Michael Gross at 732-987-2373 or ude.naigroeg@ssorgm. Programs (including tours) open to the public will be listed on GCU's website. Our annual Japanese tea experience, featuring a chance to go inside our 1910 teahouse and learn about the tea ceremony, will be rescheduled for spring 2021. You will be able to register at georgian.edu/center-for-professional-studies/personal-interest/art-culture-leisure/ .
The arboretum is a member of the American Public Gardens Association and the Garden State Gardens Consortium. We participate in APGA's Plant Protection Program. Our collection is included in the database maintained by Botanic Gardens Conservation International and we participate in BGCI conservation programs. We are also a cooperator in the Plant Conservation Alliance. Consistent with the goals of the shortleaf pine initiative, we have planted 25 shortleaf pine seedlings since 2013. We were named to Best College Reviews list of the 50 Most Beautiful College Arboretums in 2015. We have Level II accreditation from the ArbNet Arboretum Accreditation Program.
We welcome your financial contributions, which support collection development, trees to replace those that die, plant labeling, and protection against deer browsing. To give to the arboretum, use this link: https://alumni.georgian.edu/giving. Thank you for your support!

The Italian Garden was inspired by the famous formal gardens of Italy. It features an enormous Fountain of Apollo sculpted by John Massey Rhind (and turned on only for special events), a wrought iron eagle and dragon sculpture commissioned by Emperor Wilhelm II and forged by the Armbruster Brothers of Frankfurt for the German pavilion of the Paris Exposition of 1900, life-size statues of Greek gods and goddesses, floral urns mounted on marble pedestals, centuries-old fountains (non-functioning), and two semicircular pergolas with Tuscan columns, marble benches and statuary. Most of the trees in the Italian Garden are conifers, and include Himalayan Pine (Pinus wallichiana), White Pine (Pinus strobus), Pitch Pine (Pinus rigida), Shortleaf Pine (Pinus echinata), Colorado Blue Spruce (Picea pungens), American Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis), Oriental Arborvitae (Platycladus orientalis), Eastern Redcedar (Juniperus virginiana), Chinese Juniper (Juniperus chinensis), Eastern Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), Hinoki Falsecypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) and Moss (Sawara) Cypress (Chamaecyparis pisifera). The first trees of Italian origin were added to the garden in 1999-2000: Italian Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens).
Peak color in the Italian Garden is from May 15–Sept. 30, when the geraniums in the urns are in flower.
This garden, with its lagoon connecting it to Lake Carasaljo, is the most lavish of the three gardens designed by Bruce Price. It features a 17th century marble fountain from a garden in southern France (turned on only for special occasions) on a brick esplanade, a double marble staircase flanked by lions, and carved marble benches, which are copies of the benches in the Vatican Garden. The lagoon itself connects to Lake Carasaljo under a bridge also designed by Bruce Price. The bridge was restored in 1999. Water from the lagoon feeds the Apollo Fountain in the Italian Garden. Moss (Sawara) Cypress (Chamaecyparis pisifera) is common in this garden, but Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis), flanks the bridge at the southern end of the garden. The lagoon contains water lilies.
The sunken garden is most colorful between about April 10 and May 20, when the eastern redbud is in flower, along with the azaleas at the base of the double marble staircases and the crabapples on either side of the sunken garden. The crapemyrtles behind the 17th century fountain generally flower between July 15 and August 15. October daisies are in bloom in October.
This is an elliptical flower garden, planted with mathematical precision. Maze-like walks and boxwood hedge borders add to the precise layout. In the center of the garden is a bronze sculpture of three satyrs holding a sundial. Ringing the formal garden are American Holly (Ilex opaca), White Pine (Pinus strobus), Norway Spruce (Picea abies ), Moss (Sawara) Cypress (Chamaecyparis pisifera), Ashleaf Maple (Acer negundo), Japanese Apricot (Prunus mume), Common Horsechestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum), Sapphireberry (Symplocos paniculata), Mountain Laurel (Kalmia latifolia) and White Ash (Fraxinus americana).
The formal garden offers an array of colors from May 15-October 1. The early-flowering peonies around the garden and irises around the central sundial are at their peak around Memorial Day. Russian sage flowers around the sundial from June through September. The 15 small flowerbeds among the boxwood hedges contain lavender, which is in bloom from May through July.
A birthday gift to Edith Gould from her husband George, this Takeo Shiota-designed garden is entered through a gateway, or machiai. The garden path, or roji, passes a genuine teahouse (from the Japan-British exhibition of 1910), or sukiya, and leads to a small wooden footbridge as it continues to the back of the garden. A stately Umbrella Pine (Sciadopitys verticillata) on the island in the center of the garden, is surrounded by Japanese Yew (Taxus cuspidata), Japanese Cherry (Prunus serrulata), Hinoki Falsecypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) and Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum).Weeping Higan Cherry (Prunus subhirtella) is also in the garden.
The garden features three custom-designed wooden bridges built by Peter Wechsler in 2014-2015 and several cultivars of Japanese maples added in 2013 to replace trees lost in Superstorm Sandy. Mr. Wechsler replaced the shoji, installed tatami mats, and made other teahouse improvements from 2016-present.
There are two periods of peak color in the Japanese Garden. One is from April 15-June 5. The early flowers of the cherries are followed by lily of the valley, azalea, iris, rhododendron, and goldenchain tree. Often, the irises, rhododendron, and goldenchain tree flower simultaneously in the last half of May, creating a spectacular mix of yellow, purple, and pink at the entrance to the garden. The other peak color period is about October 25-Nov 10, when the leaves of the cherries and various cultivars of maples change to yellow, red and orange.
In 2008, the Wellness Center/University Store/Athletic Field complex just west of the Arts and Science Center and north of the Library was built. As part of this project, a Wellness Center Garden, designed by biology department students, was installed in summer 2009 and features plants that were historically used for medicinal or herbal purposes. Enclosed by a fence to keep out deer, the garden includes about 70 species, including sweetgrass, stinging nettle, wild strawberry, thyme, rosemary, mint, St. John's wort, coneflower (Echinacea), cranberry, cardinal flower, pussytoes, joe pye-weed, yucca, chicory, ferns, bayberry, and prickly pear cactus. Enter the garden by lifting the metallic latch (see directions on fence). The front of the Wellness Center itself has a "living roof" planted with sedums and other drought, heat and high-light tolerant species. As part of the sustainability/wellness initiative, a trellis of the native vine Trumpet Creeper (Campsis radicans) provides summer shade and transmits winter's light to the east-facing classroom at the front of the Wellness Center. Trees around the Wellness Center include many native species, including Black Gum (Nyssa sylvatica), Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis), Serviceberry (Amelanchier), Red Oak (Quercus rubra), Scarlet Oak (Quercus coccinea), and Wild Black Cherry (Prunus serotina). Non-native Sargent Cherry (Prunus sargentii) trees provide early spring flowers. There is a small native grass and sedge garden in front of the Wellness Center to showcase deer-resistant, drought-tolerant, low-maintenance species. Between the Court Cafe/Gavan Lounge and Jeffries Hall is our newest garden, a New Jersey native plant garden, created in 2019.

Hypogonadism and renal failure: An update
Nannan Thirumavalavan, Nathan A. Wilken, Ranjith Ramasamy
The prevalence of both hypogonadism and renal failure is increasing. Hypogonadism in men with renal failure carries with it significant morbidity, including anemia and premature cardiovascular disease. It remains unclear whether testosterone therapy can affect the morbidity and mortality associated with renal failure. As such, in this review, we sought to evaluate the current literature addressing hypogonadism and testosterone replacement, specifically in men with renal failure. The articles chosen for this review were selected by performing a broad search using Pubmed, Embase and Scopus including the terms hypogonadism and renal failure from 1990 to the present. This review is based on both primary sources as well as review articles. Hypogonadism in renal failure has a multifactorial etiology, including co-morbid conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, old age and obesity. Renal failure can lead to decreased luteinizing hormone production and decreased prolactin clearance that could impair testosterone production. Given the increasing prevalence of hypogonadism and the potential morbidity associated with hypogonadism in men with renal failure, careful evaluation of serum testosterone would be valuable. Testosterone replacement therapy should be considered in men with symptomatic hypogonadism and renal failure, and may ameliorate some of the morbidity associated with renal failure. Patients with all stages of renal disease are at an increased risk of hypogonadism that could be associated with significant morbidity. Testosterone replacement therapy may reduce some of the morbidity of renal failure, although it carries risk.

Our spectrum valuation training course in London on 15-16 October 2019 covers the range of possible approaches and how they can be combined.
Working through real-world examples we will show how these are used in practice and how they can be used together in a "triangulated" approach.
The course features a flexible combination of lectures; exercises using real-world data and examples; feedback and review sessions; as well as 'question and answer' sessions. Class size is limited to 25.
Online registration is available now.
