Each partner in the couple should submit their rankings separately into the NMS Match System; partners do not need to submit their lists at the same time. However, the rankings submitted by one partner must be carefully coordinated with the rankings submitted by the other partner, as described below.
You may rank the same program multiple times on your Rank Order List in order to pair that program with more than one program on your partner's list. There is also an option to create pairs in which only one partner may be matched, with the other partner left unmatched (use the Add No Match Rank button to add a "No Match" entry with code 9999). Refer to the example shown below for the formation of Rank Order Lists for couples.
The Paired Choices Generator Tool can be used to help you and your partner generate a list of paired rankings. The tool will take the list of programs being considered by each partner and generate a list of all possible paired program choices (including choices where one partner is left unmatched). The program pairs can then be reorganized into the desired sequence, and unacceptable pairs can be eliminated if necessary. The use of this tool is not required, but some couples may find it helpful in creating their program pairs to submit on their Rank Order Lists.
Couples are encouraged to prepare a draft of their Rank Order Lists before submitting their rankings into the NMS Match System.
As noted above, each member of a couple must identify their partner in their Dashboard, and each partner must submit their side of the list of paired programs into the NMS Match System. After both members of a couple have correctly identified each other as their partner, each member of the couple can confirm the rankings submitted by their partner.
Next, both partners must decide together which pairs of programs they are prepared to rank. For example, they should first consider all the possible pairs where the programs are in the same general location. The couple should also consider forming pairs where the programs are not in the same location. In some cases, one rank in the pair may be designated "No Match" to indicate that one partner is willing to go unmatched if the other can get a position (use the Add No Match Rank button to add a "No Match" entry with code 9999).
The couple will match to the most preferred pair on their list where both partners can be matched (or where one partner can match, and the other chooses to be unmatched).

Q: Knowing when bash is done running a command through a FIFO pipe I'm trying to link a web-based terminal with bash.
My current attempt to do so is spawning a shell pointing a FIFO pipe to its input, like this:
Terminal 1
$ mkfifo pipe
$ bash <> pipe
file1    file2    file4

Terminal 2
$ echo "ls" > pipe

As you might be able to tell, I am only getting command responses from spawning the shell in Terminal 1 (obviously). Is it possible for me to tell if bash is idle or not? I need to know when to show $PS1 on the client side.
If I run something like apt-get install curl -y, the command is continuous and finishes when it finishes. I need to know when it is finished so that on the front-end, I can show the terminal prompt.
Any ideas?

EWC WeeCare Nursery is located directly at the front entrance to the church. We begin checking in our families at 10:15am. All children from infant- 5 years old (until kindergarten) are in an age appropriate room. The infant room is for babies through 2 years. The toddlers in our 2's room will have fun dancing to Christian tunes, drawing on the chalkboard, building blocks, free imaginative play, hearing bible stories, making crafts, & learn to pray & say grace at snack time. The 3's dig deeper with an actual lesson concentrating on a specific bible verse that teaches a theme. They also get free time to play! Our 4's & 5's are grouped together, as they are developmentally similar. The lesson & story time with this class tends to be more interactive, as they are very engaged & love to share their thoughts & feelings. We enjoy specific prayer & review questions that highlight their amazing capability to capture the lesson.
EWC WeeCare is faithfully dedicated to keeping all children safe, loved, cared for, & comforted while family members attend service. If we cannot console a child, we dutifully promise to notify the parents via our paging system. If paged, we have a family room that is adjacent to the nursery that has the service streaming live on the television where parents may console their children. We also welcome all breastfeeding mothers to use this family room at any time to nurse!
EWC WeeCare Nursery has a strong mission for all of the children to have fun while family is away from them, but we also have the desire and commitment to share the love of Jesus and teach them about faith, friendship, kindness, & love!
Our theme to support our purpose is from Galatians 5:22-23: The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control!
Look for the welcome table in the nursery! A member of our team will assist you with the registration form, get your child a name label, introduce him/her to the volunteers, & guide your child to the age-appropriate room. **First time guests will be required fill out a registration form, which will include necessary information such as family members' names, birth-dates, addresses, phone numbers & any other special information that may be needed (allergies, special needs, etc.) for your child.
Members of our Leadership Team will check-in your child in at the counter. You & your child will be given matching identification stickers that are exclusive to your family. Your child will wear the name tag portion while you keep the matching tag. After the service, you will return to the counter & provide us with the name & age of your child so they may gathered for dismissal. All children get dismissed from the nursery; except for the 4 & 5 year old children. Their dismissal is from the family room. The entrance to that room is in the main hallway, directly next to the restrooms.
We encourage all parents, grandparents, caretakers etc. to follow us on Facebook! We like to post updates about our activities, content, exciting news, and events. We also like to share pictures & videos. It is a great way to share in their time at the nursery, & to help support our ministry!!

Today's feeds are over processed, laced with additives, and use grains grown on mineral deficient soils. This results in trace mineral deficiencies and the reduction of enzymatic activity. Unless digestive enzymes and biologically available trace minerals are added to your bird's diet its digestive system is simply not capable of fully extracting all of the feed's nutrition. As a result, there is a build up of toxins in the body that compromise health and performance. Final analysis: compromised health, lowered performance, higher feed costs, less profit and ultimately less healthy and less happy birds!
Many of the minerals and vitamins found in feed have been rendered unavailable. Feed companies compensate by adding inorganic ingredients which have a low bioavailability. On average only 10 to 20% of these minerals can be utilized by the animal. The correct remedy is to add Pro Charge™ which provides naturally chelated biologically available micro-nutrients. Without biologically available trace minerals, birds can exhibit poor health, reduced fertility, decreased performance and lowered immune response. Stress results in the accelerated depletion of nutrients in the body.
Pro Charge™ is an all natural health and performance enhancing powdered supplement that is simply top dressed or mixed in with your avian feed. It contains over 70 biological available trace minerals, 23 vitamins and antioxidants, digestive enhancing enzymes, health benefiting prebiotics & probiotics, and numerous essential body and blood-building nutrients.
Pro Charge™ provides several sources of prebiotics. Prebiotics are substances that feed and support the beneficial microrganisms found in the intestinal tract. Prebiotics serve as biostimulants to the gut. Healthy intestinal flora is very important to overall wellness because these organisms support immunity and improve digestion, When given antibiotics, there is a considerable loss of beneficial bacteria which can lead to added stress and a slower recovery. The addition of probiotics will help, but many researchers believe that prebiotic substances which stimulate the existing microflora are more effective in reestablishing gut microrganisms.
Pro Charge™ provides Mannan Oligosaccharides (MOS) which bind to pathogenic bacteria found in the intestinal tract, such as Salmonella and E. Coli. This prevents pathogens from grabbing hold of the gut and colonizing. Aids in preventing diarrhea, and digestive upsets and supports the immune system.
Prominent and Well Known Racing and Roller Pigeon Fanciers, as well as numerous Poultry Fanciers, have been using Pro Charge™ for many years. Many top producers routinely add Avia Charge-2000™ in the water and Pro Charge™ in the feed in order to maximize health and performance. Although this is not necessary for the average person, there are many top breeders who want and need maximum health and performance out of their flocks!
Top Dress or Mix Pro Charge™ in your feed.
Small Bird (hatchlings, parakeets, etc.) : Add 1/8 to ¼ scoop per bird per day.
Medium Bird (pigeons, small chickens, small parrots, quail, etc.): Add ¼ to ½ scoop per bird per day.
Large Bird (chickens and other birds up to 6 lbs): Add ½ to 1 scoop per bird per day.
Extra Large Bird ( any bird greater than 6 lbs): Add 1.0 to 1.5 scoops per bird per day.

I frequently post my meals on Instagram and so far this has been the one that has garnished the most attention. I have friends, family and even strangers asking for the recipe. I got some inspiration from Pinterest and used a pepper as a nacho. This cuts calories and carbs and packs a huge punch of Vitamin C. You can top it with whatever you desire, I've certainly played around with it. My favourite will always be crockpot Mexican chicken.
Take boneless, skinless chicken breasts and place them into your crockpot. Pour in a bottle of mild salsa and a can of fat-free refried beans.
Make a mixture of low-sodium taco seasoning, garlic powder, chili powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes and lime powder. Sprinkle it over top of everything and then stir.
Let cook for 6-8 hours and then shred the chicken with two forks.
Heat oven to 350 degrees and start cutting your mini bell peppers. Slice off the ends and then slice them in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and ribs and press flat. Place them onto a foil-covered baking sheet.
Spoon chicken mixture onto each pepper. Top with cheddar/monterey jack cheese blend and olives. Bake for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle on cilantro and serve with salsa, guacamole or sour cream.
If you try out the recipe, please tag me (@HilaryFlint) and let me know how they turn out! I'm excited to see everyone's adaptation. My friend Chelsea added a little taco sauce and said it was amazing. These chicken pepper "nachos" are perfect to make for game night or to bring to a party. If you invite me to a potluck – you know what I'm bringing!
What is your go-to item to bring to a party?

Chris Brown and Offset's beef isn't over.
After igniting a social media feud following a 21 Savage meme, Chris has returned with much more smoke for the Migos rapper—and he's introduced Cardi B into it.
During their heated trade, Brown informed Offset to tug up and combat him, sharing his house deal with on social media. But Offset seemingly backed down and a bodily confrontation was averted.
The beef ignited after Offset referred to as out Chris for posting a meme mocking 21 Savage, who's going through deportation after his visa expired. "Memes ain't humorous lame," Offset wrote within the feedback, which prompted Chris to fireside again.


More than ten years ago, in the city of Madras there lived a pretty girl named Satyanjali. A Hindu with origins in Uttar Pradesh. I will call her Anjali. She had a wonderful friend called John. A Christian with origins in Kerala. The friendship grew stronger by the day and over an year or two, they were pretty much in love. And then one day, Anjali's dad asked her – what is it between you and John? You are not going to marry him, are you? He was angry. A devout Hindu was not going to like it if his dearest daughter was even contemplating to get married to a Christian.
Anjali could have lied. She could have told, no John is just a dear friend. And it could have cooled down her dad. At least for a while. Anjali had lied to him many a times before already. On various occasions. To avoid such awkward confrontations. So what if he had named her Satyanjali. But no, not now. She just could not. This was not the time to lie. And she did not. Yes, I intend to marry him. She said.
It was a bit of a struggle for her to be in touch with John thereafter. Her dad even got her office to give her leave. She was not supposed to be seeing John anymore. But she did. And once, when her dad found out, he even hinted at getting some of his powerful contacts intervene. The protective love of a father for her child. Things never reached that stage though. In fact, Anjali even managed to get John to her house for a face to face with her dad.
What would you have to say if your sister did something like this? Asked Anjali's dad.
She has the freedom to do whatever she has to. Replied John. Anjali's dad couldn't get more furious. Get out of this house, he said. John did.
One fine day, she was with John. Yes, again. And her dad found out. Anjali's mom called her and asked her to return home. A friend tipped Anjali on the fact that her parents knew she was with John and something bad may happen this time. This was it. They decided to run away. For the sake of love. For the sake of all that was there between John and Anjali. Something much beyond being a Hindu or a Christian. Something which hearts so easily understand, yet the society often views as a crime.
"22nd April 2013, my wife and I complete 10 years of legal togetherness. I couldn't give her every girls dream…a dream wedding…in fact I couldn't give her a wedding at all. We got married in a civil service with auto driver, cook and some random as witnesses. At the time we feared for our lives due to the inter religious union but we survived and survived well. As we head towards the 10 year mark I've been scouting out locations for a quiet celebration with close family and friends. I suspect that we would be at the forty mark in terms of guests I'd like to give the run away bride and my wife a surprise ….and you maybe able to give me that opportunity to do so." John was looking for one of the best candid wedding photographers in Goa for this occasion and with me, his search ended. Once the deal was sealed, I had to wait for about a month before John & Anjali arrived in Goa from Delhi. And their friends and family from various other parts of India / world. And I had a kickass time shooting. The light was kind of low, and that limited my ability to take a lot of pictures but I did the best that I could.
And to complete the story of the runaway bride, well, Anjali's dad cooled down finally. He spoke to John three years after they had eloped. But spoke he did. And today, a decade later, it is only overpowering love that spreads across the two families. May John and Anjali get to celebrate many more of these happy decades! I dedicate this post to them. I dedicate this post to a decade of togetherness! And below is what I think the Goa celebration was all about….
PS: Names of people and cities have been changed because the story is so personal. But the story is real – as narrated to me by Anjali. And so is the love! :) Keep falling in love guys. And keep getting married! Even if you have to run away. All's fair in love and war as they say.
You can check out yet another picture-story shot in Goa about a couple who were here to celebrate 30 years of togetherness!
thanks for leaving a comment Kumar. Appreciate it!
Indian Wedding on 9th and 10th Dec'13 – at Old Anchor (Dalmia Resort, Byke) We need your services for Photography and videography on both the days. Please send your quote. Once we get your competitive quote will discuss further in details.

Return to Hillsboro Star-Journal
Teen who biked into semi mourned
By PHYLLIS ZORN
At least 100 people attended a vigil Tuesday night in Hillsboro to honor the life of a 13-year-old boy who was killed when he drove his bike into a semi.
The service was near the site of the Thursday accident that took his life. Mourners had placed remembrances on a fence near the intersection.
The vigil, which was livestreamed on social media by Hillsboro resident Shelby Johnson, was off limits to news media.
A staff photographer from the Marion Record was ordered to leave and escorted from a nearby sidewalk to her car by several people who identified themselves as relatives of the boy.
Trevor Dayton Adams Wullenweber, Milford, was killed instantly when he drove his bicycle into the side of a turning grain truck and was run over.
The Peterbuilt semi was driven by Brendan Jay Reimer, 52, of Hillsboro, and loaded with 42 tons of soybeans.
The semi was traveling south and turning left onto D St. when Trevor, who also was southbound drove into it, to the semi's left, the Kansas Highway Patrol reported.
A person who said she witnessed the accident said the semi already was in the intersection when Trevor, looking down, rode through a stop sign and into the side of the trailer and was run over by the front wheels of the trailer.
Watching it happen, she yelled, "Stop! Stop! Stop!"
The witness, who was driving westbound, wondered whether Trevor had seen the stop sign.
The intersection has four-way stop signs and a four-way flashing stoplight.
A social media post by one of Trevor's relatives said the family did not blame the driver of the truck and that one family member hugged him for 10 minutes to help comfort him.
Trevor's body lay covered by a blanket in the inner westbound lane of D St., just east of the intersection with Ash St., as Hillsboro and Goessel police, sheriff's deputies, emergency medical personnel, Hillsboro firefighters, coroner Don Hodson, and a game warden converged on the scene.
The semi, owned by Pleasant Hill Inc., 1565 Kanza Rd., stopped in the eastbound lane, just east of Jost service station. The driver, apparently unaware of the accident, reportedly had to be flagged down.
Emergency responders waited for a Highway Patrol trooper to arrive from the Troop C headquarters in Salina, an hour's drive away.
Officers and EMTs originally had difficulty identifying the victim.
The Highway Patrol's Critical Accident Highway Response Team and its motor carrier inspectors are investigating the accident.
A private celebration of life service for Trevor is planned for the end of September.
Sympathy cards for the family are being accepted at Hillsboro's Sonic Drive-in.

Euclid Phase-A Studies
Lead Research Organisation: University College London
Department Name: Mullard Space Science Laboratory
This proposal is for funding to support phase A studies for Euclid, a selected candidate M-class mission in ESA's Cosmic Vision programme. Euclid is designed to make the most exquisitely accurate measurements of Dark Energy in several complementary ways, to explore what it is, and to quantify precisely its role in the evolution of the Universe. In the current 'concordance model' of the Universe, three quarters of it consists of Dark Energy, and one fifth of Dark Matter: Euclid will measure and elucidate the nature of Dark Matter too. If, instead, the concordance model is incorrect, and our fundamental ideas about gravity need revision, Euclid will test the validity of many of these modified gravity theories. Besides Dark Energy and Dark Matter studies, Euclid will provide a truly colossal legacy dataset over the whole sky, with optical imaging at 0.25 arc second spatial resolution to very faint limits (R~24.5), infrared imaging in 3 bands to similar limits and only slightly worse spatial resolution, and spectra and redshifts of 150 million galaxies to H=22. This dataset can only be obtained from space. It will be used by scientists worldwide in a wide range of contexts, and it will have huge public outreach potential. The planned launch of Euclid is 2017. The payload instruments will be produced through national funding, so this funding supports the first part of that provision. The UK Euclid team will work with ESA to develop the overall Euclid payload concept, providing vital scientific inputs to ensure that the optimal approach is taken and to guide design tradeoffs. It will, through ESA, provide inputs to the ESA-commissioned industry studies of the mission as a whole. The team will also work with other European colleagues to develop a large-field imager with two focal planes (one optical and one infrared) and an infrared spectrograph, and has strong roles in each of these areas. The proposal contains requests for supporting the scientific studies, system engineering work at the level of Euclid, and work on the instrumentation: the visible imager (particularly the detectors and entire electronics detection chain), and the optomechanical concept and design for both the near infrared spectrograph and imager. UK groups have been working extensively through the Cosmic Vision process to contribute to Euclid through its precursor, DUNE and SPACE. They have taken central roles in the core instrumentation and in the science support to the mission and have been highly effective in shaping the mission concept. This grant will cement the leading positions for UK groups, realised up to now through their vision and commitment.

5SOS Had To Give Up Their Logo?
The guys might be facing copyright claims.
You may have noticed that 5 Seconds of Summer have been putting out some pretty cool merch lately -- merch that doesn't include their longtime stamp of 5SOSness: the tally mark. Yeah, the new designs are punk rock, but why get rid of something classic?
Apparently, the guys had to ditch their tally logo due to copyright, according to a now-deleted tweet from Calum Hood on Saturday. A fan asked the bandmember where all the tallies went, and Calum replied, "copyright brah."
Rumor has it that clothing company Undefeated is reportedly suing the band for using their tally logo.
Fans, of course, are not happy. They've already started a petition to get the logo back.
https://twitter.com/iadoreirwin_/status/597381164853145600
Here's the merch that introduces the new skull logo.
The skull logo was created by designer-to-the-stars Tom Gordon, who wrote on his website that their tally logo "became too problematic."
"In July 2014 I was asked to submit a handful of designs to a merchandise pitch for 5 Seconds of Summer based on some work of mine that the bands management had seen. What was originally supposed to be a small project turned into a full blown branding job when their tally logo became too problematic to use. The skull logo that they now use as their key branding was a quick doodle that I made at the time for a lanyard design!"
MTV News has reached out to Undefeated and 5SOS for comment on the rumors, but haven't heard back by press time.
Instead of using their old logo, Calum, Luke, Michael and Ashton have been commissioning artists to design posters for each show -- Gordon is one of them. They're currently on their Rock Out With Your Socks Out Tour.
https://twitter.com/5SOS/status/598131638925656064
The tally is nowhere to be found.


I just bought the Speedplay Frogs for my mid-70's Bob Jackson road bike. Tried to install them yesterday but the pedal thread size on the Stronglight crank arms (made in France) is smaller than the Speedplays. Short of buying new crank arms, is there anything I can do? I knew I should've bought a new bike and not an older bike. But I just love hand-made frames made from Reynolds 531. Oh well.
since the rest of the world , the market, has already gone over.
Thanks for the feedback. Where does one take crank arms to have them re-threaded?
Any decent bike shop should have a tap to thread the crank to the 9/16" size. It's really close to the 14mm size thread you have now and the pitch is also very close so this is an easy procedure.
Kind of odd that while other industries were switching over to all-metric standards the bike industry standardized on English measurements for most of the key threads.
Pedal axles are 9/16X20TPI. A bike shop should be able to retap them for you.
Replacing the crank will have its own problems with the French sizing.
Unlikely; Bob Jackson is an English builder and the bikes are English thread.
Bring it to Pinole and you can use my taps or I'll do it for you.
Thanks, all. Retapping sounds like the way to go.

    else:
        # send back the response.
        data = message.encode()
        connection.send(data)

when i run the code i get an error
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gui2.py", line 64, in
    data = message.encode()
AttributeError: type object 'Label' has no attribute 'encode'
would anyone know how to get the code to encode the value for the name and transfer it to the server?

A: In the client code, you are encoding the Label object, which doesn't have this method.
while connected:
    message = Label
    data = message.encode()

Don't you want to encode the value returned (e1?)

London Borough of Enfield
If you need help understanding the property licensing rules in Enfield you have come to the right place! We are experts in housing regulation and have produced this free guide to help you understand the council's property licensing schemes.
To help set the scene, the London Borough of Enfield is in North London covering an area of 32 square miles. It is bordered by the boroughs of Barnet to the west, Haringey to the south, Waltham Forest to the east and with Hertfordshire and Essex to the north. According to the 2011 Census about 22% (1 in 5) of the housing stock was privately rented which is slightly lower than the London average of 25% (1 in 4).
You do not need a licence if you rent your property to a single family as Enfield Council do not operate a selective licensing scheme.
If you rent your property as a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO), the answer is a bit more complicated. Some HMOs need a licence under the mandatory HMO licensing scheme that applies throughout England. There is also an additional licensing scheme that started on 1 September 2020.
To help you decide if you need a licence we've outlined the two property licensing schemes below:
The additional licensing scheme came into force on 1 September 2020 and will continue for five years until 31 August 2025, unless the council decide to revoke the scheme or implement a replacement scheme.
It will apply to most HMOs in the London Borough of Enfield, including all properties shared by three or more people who are not all related and share facilities.
The council have excluded 'section 257 HMOs: certain converted blocks of flats' from the scheme. These are properties that:
This is a complex area of law and you may need further advice.
It depends on the type of licence you are applying for.
Mandatory HMO licence
There is a fixed fee of £1,100 for an HMO with up to five lettable rooms. For larger HMOs, the cost increases according to the number of lettings. In 2019/20, the council charged an application fee of £697 for an HMO with five lettings, so cost has gone up quite a lot.
Additional licence
There is a fixed fee of £900 per property.
Both licence application fees are payable in two instalments, so you won't have to pay the full cost up front.
The council do not advertise any discounts for accredited landlords, which we think is a shame.
The fees we're listed were correct as of September 2020 but could be subject to change in the future. You can view the fees in full on the council's website.
A new online application system has been developed to coincide with the introduction of additional licensing. You can find out more information on the council's website.
Enfield Council updated their HMO standards in February 2020 and you can view a copy on the council's website.
The standards cover a range of issues such as kitchen, bathroom and toilet facilities, fire precautions, heating, lighting, ventilation and room sizes.
In January 2015, Enfield Council had licensed 54 HMOs under the mandatory HMO licensing scheme. By April 2016, the number had risen to 75, by May 2017 there were 124, by June 2018 there were 154 property and by May 2019, the number had risen to 213.
The Council keeps a public register of licensed HMOs that is regularly updated and can be viewed online. Select 'HMO Licence (Mandatory)' from the drop down menu and search all, or select the name or street you are interested in. It's quite a good system.
In September 2020, Enfield Council said they think about 8,000 properties need licensing under their mandatory HMO and additional licensing schemes. This indicates there could be thousands of landlords who need to get applications submitted as a matter of urgency.
Enfield Council told us they took no housing prosecutions over the five years from April 2011 to March 2016, which put them at the bottom of the league table when compared to other London Boroughs.
Enfield Council did not obtain any Rent Repayment Orders from the landlords of unlicensed HMOs over the five years from April 2011 to March 2016.
Whilst we don't have any figures for the NLA or RLA schemes, we have got information about the London Landlord Accreditation Scheme that is supported by all the London Boroughs. In January 2016, they told us there were 543 accredited landlords in Enfield, which was slightly above average when compared to all London boroughs.
By January 2018, there were 595 accredited landlords, by January 2019 there were 725 accredited landlords and by January 2020 there were 781 accredited landlords, which is slightly below average when compared to all the London boroughs. To find out more about becoming accredited, you can visit the London Landlord Accreditation Scheme website here.
Yes, a new additional licensing scheme started on 1 September 2020. The council also want to introduce a selective licensing scheme. There is quite a long story so we'll try and keep it brief.
On 9 April 2014, Enfield Council's Cabinet made a decision to implement borough wide selective and additional licensing schemes (read here). The schemes were due to come into force on 1 April 2015 and last for five years.
A local landlord, Mr Constantinos Regas, took the council to Judicial Review to try and get the licensing schemes overturned. Enfield Council's Cabinet met to discuss the matter again on 12 November 2014 (read here). They further ratified their decision to implement a borough wide additional HMO licensing scheme.
The Judicial Review was heard in the High Court on 26 November 2014. On 11 December 2014, His Honour Judge McKenna handed down the judgement (read here). In summary, it was held that the Enfield additional and selective licensing schemes were not lawfully designated and so both licensing schemes were cancelled. The reason was linked to the consultation arrangements.
Whilst the High Court refused permission for Enfield Council to appeal the decision, the council petitioned the Court of Appeal direct as they wanted to challenge the judgement. On 9 July 2015, the Council announced that they had been granted permission to appeal, but had decided not to do so. As a result, the Judicial Review decision stands and both licensing schemes have been cancelled.
It all then went quiet for a few years until, on 20 June 2019, a decision was made to consult again on two proposed licensing schemes. The decision was then called in by eight councillors unhappy about the decision.
On 15 July 2019, the issue was discussed by the council's Overview and Scrutiny Committee (read here) who decided the consultation should proceed.
On 28 August 2019 the council launched a consultation on proposals to introduce additional and selective licensing schemes. The consultation continued until 29 November 2019 and you can find out more information here.
On 22 January 2020, the council's Cabinet meeting approved proposals for a borough wide additional licensing scheme. They also decided to approach the Secretary of State for permission to implement selective licensing across 13 wards (read here – see agenda item 5).
There is clearly a lot going on at Enfield Council so we will monitor the situation closely. You can sign up to our free newsletter for all the latest news.
You will need planning permission if you are changing your property from a single-family property to a house in multiple occupation (HMO) occupied by more than six people. HMOs occupied by more than six people fall within 'sui-generis' use for which planning permission is required. You also need planning permission if you a splitting up a property into smaller self-contained units of accommodation.
For smaller HMOs, the rules are more complicated. HMOs occupied by up to six people fall into planning use class C4 whereas single-family properties fall into planning use class C3.
On 22 October 2012, Enfield Council made a borough-wide Article 4 Direction that removes the permitted development rights to change a property from use class C3 to use class C4 without planning permission. The HMO Article 4 Direction came into force on 22 October 2013 and you can download a copy from the 'More Information' box on the right of this page.
The effect of the Article 4 Direction is to require planning permission to change the use from a single-family property (C3) to an HMO with up to six occupants (class C4). So even letting your property to three people who are not all related could require planning permission.
We have prepared some general advice on HMO Article 4 Directions that you may find useful, available here.
Remember that this is only intended as general advice and no liability can be accepted for any reliance upon information provided. We would strongly encourage you to contact the Council's Planning Department or seek independent legal advice. You can find out more information on the council's website.

Q: Generate all possible ipv4 addresses using seq? When using seq to generate an ip address, I use seq 0 255 and it generate the last octet. How can I transition this so it will generate all the other octets and their possible combinations (over 4 million combinations). Any help to start would be appreciated

A: If you were looking for a bash solution:
for h in {1..255}; do for i in {1..255}; do for j in {1..255}; do for k in {1..255}; do echo "$h.$i.$j.$k"; done; done; done; done

Or the multi-line version
for h in {1..255}
  do for i in {1..255}
    do for j in {1..255}
      do for k in {1..255}
        do echo "$h.$i.$j.$k"
      done
    done
  done
done

Or if you are really intent on using seq
for h in `seq 255`; do for i in `seq 255`; do for j in `seq 255`; do for k in `seq 255`; do echo "$h.$i.$j.$k"; done; done; done; done

A: With awk and four loops:
awk 'BEGIN{OFS="."; for(h=0;h<256;h++){for(i=0;i<256;i++){for(j=0;j<256;j++){for(k=0;k<256;k++){print h,i,j,k}}}}}'

With C and four loops:
Put this a file with name ipgen.c:
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
  int h, i, j, k;

  for (h = 0; h < 256; h++) {
    for (i = 0; i < 256; i++) {
      for (j = 0; j < 256; j++) {
        for (k = 0; k < 256; k++) {
          printf("%d.%d.%d.%d\n", h, i, j, k);
        }
      }
    }
  }
  return 0;
}

Compile it: gcc ipgen.c -o ipgen
Start it: ./ipgen

A: For speed I'd vote for a 4-way awk/for loop (per Cyrus comment), but thought I'd look at a recursive function:
tuple () {

local level=$1                                 # number of tuples to generate
local max=$2                                   # assume tuples are numbered 1 to max
local in=$3                                    # current tuple from parent

local pfx="."                                  # for all but the topmost call we append a period on the front of our loop counter

[[ -z "${in}" ]] && pfx=""                     # topmost call appends no prefix

local i
local out

for (( i=1 ; i<=${max} ; i++ ))
do
    out="${in}${pfx}${i}"

    if [[ "${level}" -eq 1 ]]                  # if we've reached the bottom of our function calls
    then
         echo "${out}"                         # print our latest string
    else
        tuple $((level-1)) "${max}" "${out}"   # otherwise recurse with the latest string
    fi
done
}

To build a 3-tuple with values ranging from 1 to 2:
$ tuple 3 2
1.1.1
1.1.2
1.2.1
1.2.2
2.1.1
2.1.2
2.2.1
2.2.2

To build a 3-tuple with values ranging from 1 to 4:
$ tuple 3 4
1.1.1
1.1.2
1.1.3
1.1.4
1.2.1
 ...
4.3.4
4.4.1
4.4.2
4.4.3
4.4.4

To build a 4-tuple with values ranging from 1 to 255 (keep in mind this is NOT going to be fast since we're making a LOT of bash-level calls):
$ tuple 4 255
1.1.1.1
1.1.1.2
1.1.1.3
1.1.1.4
1.1.1.5
1.1.1.6
1.1.1.7
1.1.1.8
1.1.1.9
1.1.1.10
... if you let it run long enough ...
255.255.255.250
255.255.255.251
255.255.255.252
255.255.255.253
255.255.255.254
255.255.255.255

Songs and Lanterns
Meredith Minter Dixon, R-MWC '84
"Where the river
Winds through blue mountains…."
On special occasions throughout the college year, Randolph-Macon women gathered to sing to their sister class in a serenade, or to sing defiance to their rivals at a Skeller Sing. Wilson College students, too, gathered as Odd and Even classes to sing the songs of their classes, and Wilson alumnae still do. And the classes of Chatham College competed in a yearly Song Contest, at which each class sang all or part of the lyrics of the college's alma mater to the tunes of popular songs.
At Wellesley College, students still stand on their chapel's steps twice a year to sing together,
"Some think it worth their while to go to college,
And so do I! And so do I!
Some think that only men are fit for knowledge,
But not so I! Oh, no not I!…."
Sweet Briar students do likewise, with each class singing four songs, one in praise of their own class and the others, more or less complimentary as sister-class status warrants, directed at each of the other classes. All classes praise the Seniors, who are thought to be above college rivalry
Bryn Mawr students sing to other classes three times a year, at major college festivals. The most picturesque of these is Lantern Night, when First-Years are given "lanterns of knowledge" in their class color. That's been going on ever since 1906.
Bryn Mawr's Lanterns of Knowledge.

Amanda Beardall, Bryn Mawr 2014, vividly described Bryn Mawr's Lantern Night ceremony:
"The first years walk into the Cloisters in complete darkness and silence. They wear long black robes so that they also blend into the darkness. The juniors and seniors are "swingers" so they stand in each arch way and sing a song in Greek called "Pallas Athena" while the sophomore "runners" run with the lanterns and set one down behind each first year student.
Once all the lanterns have been distributed, the first years pick up their lanterns, making sure not to look directly into the light of knowledge in the process, and sing the traditional Greek song "Sophias" that they have been practicing for the past week. The first years then exit silently while the upperclassmen sing "Sophias" back to them until all of them have left."
It is traditions like these that women's college graduates will remember when they look back at their college years. I support TSI so that "our voices, serenading in the night" may ring at other colleges for women, and so that girls of today may have the chance to sing together as we did, as the lamps of learning – physically present or not – are handed down.

Previous post: Do you need to plan your career or can you just let it happen?
A quick way to figure out what sort of things you might like to do is by hearing about what others have done.
Not long ago, we caught up with recent University of Manchester graduates to find out about their current jobs and how they got where they are. Want to know how an Electrical and Electronic Engineering student became a Network Producer with Key103? Or hear about the experiences of a graduate who set up their own business? Have a watch of some of the videos and get inspired.
You can also explore career videos on icould.com, where people from all walks of life share an inside view of their current job and reveal how they got there. You can search by degree subject, job type, and "life decision" (other issues and interests that can shape your career).
LinkedIn is great for this too – search for people doing your dream job and look at their profile to find out how they got to where they are. Just be sure you're in complete private mode in your Privacy Settings so people don't know you're checking them out!
You could also Google "A day in the life of…" features for even more examples.

TerryHomePage:World Religions
It was in the ancient city of Babylon that false religion (Satanic worship under various names) had its origin. Noah's grandson, Cush, the father of Nimrod, was the original ring leader that led the people away from the true God and encouraged the people as the "interpreter of the gods" to take another form of religion. He encouraged them to go ahead with the tower which his son actually built.
Genesis 10:8-10, "And Cush begat Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar." Genesis 11:1-9, "And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime they had for mortar. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth; and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth."
Babel is the original name for Babylon. It means confusion. It was literally started by Cush, the son of Ham, but was brought to a kingdom of power and grandeur under his son, Nimrod, the mighty hunter. Nimrod, according to the Genesis eleven account and also according to profane history, set out to accomplish three things. He wanted to build a strong nation, which he did. He wanted to propagate his own religion, which he did. He wanted to make a name for himself, which he also accomplished. He declared himself a god and became a tyrant King.
Nimrod's accomplishments were so monumental that the kingdom of Babylon was called the head of gold amongst all world governments. That his religion gained prominence is proven by the fact that Scripture identifies it with Satan completely in Isaiah Chapter 14 and in Revelation Chapters 17-18. And by history we can prove that it invaded the whole world and is the basis for every system of idolatry, and the theme of mythology, though the names of the gods are different because of the various languages in the world. The world's major religions (non-Judeo-Christian) can be traced back to ancient Babylon and ultimately to the garden of Eden and the fall of man, proving that polytheism emerged from monotheism, and not monotheism from polytheism as some profane scholars believe (monotheism is belief in a single God; polytheism is belief in multiple gods). Satan is known as the father of lies which deceiveth the whole world (Genesis 3:1, John 8:44, Revelation 12:9), and Nimrod was the human "father" of all false religion, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism and the Egyptian mystery religions, et al.
When Nimrod was a young boy, his mother, Semiramis, desired him, and in fact, ended up marrying him. When Nimrod died, and was made the sun god, Semiramis then had an illegitimate son called Tammuz, who she claimed to be the son of Nimrod. She said that he was the "promised seed of the woman," (Genesis 3:15) and demanded that both her and Tammuz be worshipped. In Egypt the "Mother and Son" were later worshipped as Isis and Osiris. Semiramis also declared that her son, Tammuz, was in actuality the return or rebirth of her husband, Nimrod. Hence through this teaching the doctrine of reincarnation was born (the doctrine of reincarnation supposes that all creatures are in a process of spiritual evolution extending through limitless cycles of time). Tammuz became symbolized by the golden calf. Semiramis became known as the "queen of heaven," and was the prototype from which all other pagan goddesses came.
In his deified form, Nimrod the Sun god is known as Baal. Mythology reveals the fact that the god Baal, and the goddess, the queen of heaven, were universally worshiped under various names and titles. History confirms, that Nimrod, and his wife, Semiramis, were the prototypes for all gods and goddesses that permeated all subsequent cultures and societies. The Holy Bible tells us that "every nation made gods of their own" (II Kings 17:29). In the Hindu religion, for instance, there are some 33 million gods, including the trinity of Brahma (the 'creator'), Vishnu (the 'preserver'), and Shiva (the 'destroyer'). A familiar phrase within Luciferian worship and the occult is "The Presence" or "His Presence". The 'new age' religious movement, like most modern and ancient false religions, often use the phrase the "One", when referring to their god. Hinduism proclaims, "The many could not exist without the One.", "Truth is One", and "They call him by different names" (Great Religions of the World, pp. 34,39).
The "One" is none other than Satan whom the Bible calls "the god of this world" which "hath blinded the minds of them which believe not" (II Cor. 4:4) and "which deceiveth the whole world" (Gen. 3:1, John 8:44, Rev. 12:9). The devil is called "the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience" (Eph. 2:2). The apostle Luke records the devil saying, "all the kingdoms of the world... and the glory of them... is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it." (Luke 4:5,6). The "devil [also known as "Satan" and "Lucifer" (Rev. 12:9; Isa. 14:12)] as a roaring lion, walketh about ["going to and fro in the earth, and... walking up and down in it" (Job 1:7)], seeking whom he may devour" or "deceive" (I Pet. 5:8; I John 4:1) with myths and "cunningly devised fables" (II Pet. 1:16) taught by "false teachers" and "false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing" (II Pet. 2:1; Matt. 7:15). "And no marvel;" exclaimed the apostle Paul, "for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness" (II Cor. 11:14,15). It is quite clear by the preponderance of evidence that the Holy Bible is not a book of fables, as some would like to believe, but is in fact an accurate historical account of man's origins and affairs, and is indeed the very words of the only true God, revealing "the thoughts of his heart to all generations" (Psa. 33:11).
As false religion teaches man to look for a worldly messiah (Buddha, Kalkin, Maitreya, or "another Jesus") of a 'new age', the Holy Bible teaches Christians to look for the return of the Lord Jesus Christ "coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." at "the end of the world" (Matt. 24:3-30; II Pet. 3:9-13; Acts 1:11; Rev. 1:7). True biblical Christianity clearly teaches us to look for the "new earth", not a 'new age', as the earth will be "dissolved" and "pass away", and God himself will create "new heavens and a new earth" (II Pet. 3:11-13; Matt. 24:3-14; Rev. 21:1-5). "Genesis 1 marks the beginning of earth's time.... Revelation 20:11 reveals earth's explosive end. A contrary scenario is presented by the other religions of the world. They present a cyclical view of life in which reincarnation of the individual and evolution of the species provides the needed 'time' for their works-based salvation to bear fruit" "Since the sun is a type of Christ, God set the autumnal equinox at the time of Christ's birth in September and the vernal equinox in March during his death and resurrection. But mankind 'did not like to retain God in their knowledge,' 'changed the truth of God into a lie' and became 'vain in their imaginations' (Romans 1:19-28). So the Chaldeans, with their observatory in the tower of Babel, invented imaginary zodiacal boundaries in the sky in relation to the equinox to make a celestial calendar for their system of ages and astrology." "These 'observers of times,' anan, were condemned in the bible in II Chronicles 33:6, Deuteronomy 18:10,11, II Kings 21:6 and Leviticus 19:26. The NKJV, NIV and NASB [and most new bible versions] have completely removed this warning" setting the stage for the one world religion of "antichrists" (II Peter 2:1; I John 2:18; 4:1-6). (New Age Bible Versions, pp. 180,181,182)
Historians such as Wilkinson (see p4/5 [1])and Mallett have proven conclusively from ancient documents that at one time all the peoples of the earth believed in ONE GOD, supreme, eternal, invisible, holy, Who by the Word of His mouth spoke all things into existence. But as Satan attempted to receive worship as though he were God and not the servant and creation of God, he drew worship away from God to the end that he might draw it unto himself and so be exalted (Isaiah 14:13-14). He certainly did accomplish his desire to spread his religion throughout the whole world (Romans 1:21-25, II Corinthians 4:4). Satan boasted of his desire to be worshiped as God saying, "I will be like the most High" (Isaiah 14:14). The final step in his conquest to be worshiped as the most High is to unite the world's religions under an umbrella of world unity and peace and the false doctrine of the "universal fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man"(Daniel 2:44; Matthew 6:9; John 8:44; II Corinthians 4:4).
These images shed light on the Roman Catholic church's inter-religious inter-faith agenda and why the scriptures refer to the woman who sits on the beast as "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." (Revelation 17). Click on the thumbnails below to see the full-size images comparing the striking similarities between the various ancient and modern idolatries:
"And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." (Revelation 13:4-8) "These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful." (Revelation 17:14) The faithful in Christ Jesus that refuse to take the mark of the beast in their right hand or in their foreheads, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution: he that shall endure unto the end, they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus, the same shall be saved (Eph. 1:1; Col. 1:2; II Tim. 3:12; Mark 13:13; Rev. 13:16; 14:12). "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." (Revelation 12:11)

Want A Tattoo? Pros, Cons, And What You Didn't Know About Removal!
As much as I wish I could say, 'Oh, to heck with it! Get a tattoo...!' I know this is not a reality. Here's how a tattoo comes to be and the not much talked about reality of tattoo removal. You may be surprised!
Laser treatment is the most common method of tattoo removal.
Ask your dermatologist to find a laser treatment center.
Don't expect less than 5 sessions for laser tattoo removal.
Maybe I was just a little artistic, but growing up, I always drew myself wearing a female-shaped version of Aladdin's costume, a superhero cape, and full-sleeve tattoos on my arms. I'm sure other little girls saw themselves as princesses or as moms, but I saw myself as some sort of multimedia heroine, and I'm not so sure I ever outgrew this image.
I got my first tattoo, a small and tasteful image of a running foot on my right ankle, when I was eighteen. Because running had changed my life, I felt like this was an appropriate tribute to the sport.
Besides, the tattoo was easy to cover with a sock, and I knew it would make no impact on my future prospects. And that tattoo has not. However, other tattoos can impact one's prospects in career fields.
Her First Tattoo When She Was 18.
Many jobs, especially those in the public service industry, have strict aesthetic regulations regarding tattoos. Visible tattoos, for example, are not allowed (or are allowed under certain guidelines) in fields such as teaching, forest service, or certain military/police operations.
Believe me, I find this to be as unfair as many of you do: why should we say "do not judge based on the color of a person's skin?" yet we can feel free to say, "But DO judge based on the COLORS of a person's skin?"
If I wanted to, I am sure I could come up with some counter-arguments to my position. Tattoos are often associated with gangs or prisons, and some tattoos show images that may be offensive or inappropriate for certain people.
Also, older generations have less respect of tattoos than some younger ones simply because tattoos were not as prevalent before as they are now, so there exists a certain degree of misunderstanding.
As much as I wish I could say, "Oh, to heck with it! Get a tattoo if you want one! You'll make a way!" I know this is not a reality. So what I want to tell you all about is something you may not have experienced, but I think that you need to know about; Tattoo removal.
Why do I feel this is an appropriate topic for a bodybuilding forum? Well, many bodybuilders do have tattoos, and tattoos can be distracting for judges trying to see a builder's physique.
The tattoo may obscure the natural contours and shadows created by muscular development. I am sure that there are bodybuilders out there who have considered tattoo removal. And there are probably aspiring builders out there who have considered getting a large tattoo.
"I created this group so people can show off the hard work they have done. We love the human body and the art we put into it."
With this being said, I want to make sure all of you know just what removal entails, that way you can make an educated decision about whether or not to get your tattoo, and if you already have it, whether or not to remove it. I will not include images, but I am going to describe in full detail what I have gone through, because I feel that you need to understand in order to really appreciate body art and prepare yourself.
First of all, let's talk about what a tattoo IS. Your skin has many layers. The external layer is called the epidermis. It's the part that gets sunburns, scabs, etc. Beneath that is a layer of capillaries and blood vessel endings, as well as some fluid and fat. And beneath this is your dermis. That is a layer of tissue.
When you get a tattoo, the tattooist uses a needle to place ink into your dermis. So even if you injure your epidermis, the dermis (and your tattoo) remains intact. Thus, your tattoo is permanently in your body.
Sure, over time, the body recognizes the ink as foreign and tries to dispel it. This is why many tattooed people get their work "touched up." But the ink is always there, beneath your skin.
When it comes to tattoo removal, there are several options available. Let's talk about them.
There are the ever famous "tattoo creams." I did not try these and I would not recommend spending money on them, simply because a cream is applied to the epidermis, and I can't see any reason why it would impact your dermis significantly enough to merit spending money on it!
There is also the method called "incision." For small tattoos, I think this sounds very plausible. Essentially, it is like removing a tumor. A surgeon "cuts out" the tattoo and then sews the skin up over the area. Of course, it will leave a scar, but it is a "one stop removal option" and would have a very successful outcome.
There are also the "abrasion" methods. Many DIY removers try this using things like pencil sharpeners or sanding blocks. What they do is try to rub off the epidermis and fat layers as well as the dermal layer in order to get rid of the ink. While it could be successful, the risk for infection is high, and it also sounds rather risky in terms of blood loss! I would NOT recommend this.
Laser treatment is the most common method of tattoo removal. It is expensive, but compared to the other options, the best available. Laser treatment essentially sends a bright light through the upper layers of your skin to break up the ink in the dermis. Then, your body "eats" the small droplets of ink, resulting in permanent removal.
However, since light has a wavelength and frequency, as does color, several treatments with different lasers must occur in order to break up all of the colors in the skin. Let's now talk about how to go about laser treatment and what to expect.
The best way to find a laser treatment center is to ask your dermatologist. Don't have a dermatologist? Look on your insurance's plan and find one, then call him or her and set up an appointment so they can assess your tattoo and make a recommendation.
Most laser treatment centers are associated with plastic surgeons. This means that it WILL NOT be covered under your insurance. However, don't just choose a center because it is cheap.
You want to get a laser technician who knows what is going on, and also one who has very up to date equipment, because this will mean you will have a safer experience, and you will also undergo less sessions. Less sessions = less money. Aha! You like the way I think!
[ Click To Join The Thread. ] Removing A Tattoo.
A while ago my friend gave me a free tattoo to show a potential employeer his skills. Well, turns out I am aleric to some pigment in the red ink.
Now, call that laser technician and set up a consultation. You will go in, and they will look at your tattoo to assess the time each removal session will take, how much it will cost, and how frequently you will return.
Do not expect to pay less than 250$ per session, and do not expect less than 5 sessions. This has happened before, but generally you're looking at a cost of over 1000$ for the removal of the tattoo. If it goes away faster, then good for you, but expect that it's going to be expensive. I hope you are pleasantly surprised.
The doctor may prescribe for you a numbing cream. Now, remember, nothing about this procedure is covered under insurance, so if you want to get a numbing cream, you are going to be paying for it. That being said, I would do it if I were you. If your tattoo is large enough, they may even put you under some anesthesia. Again, remember: you don't have any financial support on this one, so it is your decision.
Anesthesia has traditionally meant the condition of having sensation (including the feeling of pain) blocked or temporarily taken away. This allows patients to undergo surgery and other procedures without the distress and pain they would otherwise experience.
Let me tell you very exactly, and this comes from the perspective that you have not taken any numbing cream or pain reducing medicine.
You will go in and be seated in a chair very similar to a dentists chair, where the technician will give you a set of glasses and prepare an instrument that looks like a cross between a nerf gun and a ballpoint pin. The first laser they will use will be the "black" laser. Yes, this laser is designed to break up black ink... good job.
They will tell you that they are going to do a "test area" so you can get used to the feel. The best way I can describe the black laser is that it works like a spray paint. If you just spray one area continuously, it intensifies, or you could spray multiple areas and get better coverage but less intensity.
The black laser sounds like a cap gun being fired continuously. The feeling, however, is completely different. Have you ever cooked something hot in oil and then had the oil jump out of the pan onto your skin? It feels exactly like that, only it is continuous pain, not just a little burst.
Exclusively formulated to protect your skin from sunburn while preserving the life and color of your tattoo. This extra wide stick is always handy and ready to protect.
When they first fire it onto your skin you will smell a lovely smell of your skin burning and your hair singing off. I would recommend you shave whatever area that you are going to have laser treatment done on, because this is very nauseating. As the technician does the area, you will notice that your epidermis is peeling off and turning white.
The pain from the black laser is enough to make you physically sick. Make sure that you use the restroom before you attend the session, because if you do not, and you have a lot of area to remove, you may find yourself getting ill in the chair.
I have found that my tolerance for the black laser had to occur in areas about the size of a matchbox, followed by about 20 seconds rest. By the time the black laser treatment had finished on me, I was sweating profusely and I looked like I had just eaten an entire tub of NO-Xplode. One plus of removal - you will get way vascular for a few minutes.
Assuming you have a color tattoo, the next removal will come in the form of the blue laser. Compared to the black laser, the blue laser is not as bad in terms of pain. It feels, and sounds, like a rubber band breaking against your skin.
One difference in it is that instead of being like spray-paint, it is more like that rubber band; it cannot cover great areas at one time. Instead, the technician has to "fire" it like a gun, and each fire gets an area about 1/2 the size of a hole-punch.
One interesting thing about the blue laser is how your body reacts to it. It, for some reason, bursts the capillaries under the skin. So every fire results in you having these little "under the skin" scabs. They look sort of like mini rug-burns, and they feel about the same.
The final laser is the red laser. The red laser is like a party compared to the black and blue lasers. I think its pain is similar to "getting your ears pierced." That is, it is not very painful at all.
[ Click To Join The Thread. ] Tattoo Thread.
I would like to start a thread where we can have Q/A about tattoos and meet other people into tattoo's and share ideas.
When it hits your skin, it will cause the skin to rise up like a little mountain. It also "fires" like the blue laser. Additionally, you will have to wear a different pair of protective glasses for the red laser, as it emits a different colored light.
Now the really fun part comes after the treatment. You will be in significant pain, and the technician will send in a nurse to put cooling bandages on your tattoo, and to wrap it in saran wrap and medical gauze.
It will begin to swell. We're not talking about a little swelling here, either. I am speaking of "it will swell to about three times its previous size" swelling.
After about four hours, you will need to remove the bandages and change them out, because your swelling will have increased so much that the wrap will cut off your circulation. The nurse will probably also send you home with some sterilized needles and Neosporin. These are crucial.
Have You Ever Had Laser Treatment For Tattoo Removal?
After about twelve hours, you will notice that your swelling is profuse, and that between your bandages, little "pockets" of blood are coming up. You must remove the bandages and drain all of these pockets using the needles. Then cover the whole thing in Neosporin and put on fresh bandages. This will occur for the entire first week, and the swelling will not subside. You may need an antibiotic to combat infection, like I did.
After about a week, the swelling should subside (if it doesn't, please get antibiotics! You are at risk for infections!) to a degree, and the blistering will cease to blood filled and start to be water filled. Your body is removing the water it has been drawing the swollen area.
Continue to drain the blisters. Also, after all of this draining, you will notice that your skin is peeling off. You need to remove the dead skin so that it does not become infected. During this initial period, you cannot "soap and water" the area, but keep it as clean as you can with Neosporin and clean bandages. Also, do not expose the area to direct sunlight.
After a few weeks, you will notice the following changes: The black areas will get much lighter, and begin to "melt together." The blue areas will become speckled with sections of "whitish-blue" (where the laser fired). And the red area will rise up and turn into lovely pink scar tissue.
[ Click To Join The Thread. ] Tattoo Removal?
Anyone know anything about tattoo removal options and what works?
When your return for more treatments, each time, your tattoo should be transforming into "flat, light areas" (black), "white areas" (blue) and "scar tissue" (red). I have been informed that after the treatments are complete, the skin will be much like the skin on your hinny, and that it will be very white, but after a few years, it should return to normal with minimal scarring.
As you can see, tattoo removal is a long, unenjoyable process, and one that people don't consider before getting a tattoo! So my advice to you is... if you know you want a tattoo, be sure you also know that if you want to get rid of it, the process will not be fun.
Remember, just because you love tattoos doesn't mean that everyone else does, and like it or not, everyone else includes people who hire you, judge you, and make first impressions of you.
I'd like to say that the world isn't vain, and that we can't judge people on how they look, but if I said that, I guess I wouldn't be into bodybuilding, now would I? So approach your ink with caution, and remember, just like decorating your house, putting the decorations up is fun and easy, but taking them down is a whole different ball game.
Approach Your Ink With Caution.
