With so many options for permanent makeup and different names for the procedure, it's no wonder that it is a very confusing subject.
In this post, we will aim to answer our most frequently asked questions around PMU (Permanent Makeup) and what you should know before having a treatment.
So, what is the difference between Permanent Makeup and Semi Permanent Makeup?
These all refer to the same treatment whether we are treating brows, lips, eyes or medical procedures such as areola pigmentation, scar camouflage or scalp pigmentation.
Is Microblading the same as Permanent Brows?
In recent years, brows have become the epicentre of the PMU world; this in turn has sparked new and exciting treatments such as hair stroke brows. This is the process of creating individual hair strokes to give the illusion of real eyebrows rather than a 'powder look' shaded brow.
Is a lip enhancement the same as having fillers?
Easily our most frequently asked question! This really is the most difficult question to answer as there are so many variables such as – the technician, the clients skin type and health, the pigments that were used and depth of the work, exposure to sunlight, medications etc etc etc. The easiest answer that will be applicable to most clients is that we expect most treatments to last somewhere between 12-36 months and recommend a maintenance session at around 15-18 months to keep the colour fresh.
Is PMU a tattoo? PMU is not a tattoo although we use a very similar technique to implant the colour, we work at a different depth in the skin and use pigments rather than inks, these factors all play a large part in how 'permanent' the treatment will be.

Winner of the 2016 Independent Publisher Book Bronze Award for Fantasy
The empire has endured many centuries but is now threatened by multiple wars and a major rebellion in the South. A nobleman from an infamous family, an imperial legionary officer, a fighter, and a right proper bastard of a man, Captain Ben Stiger finds himself reassigned from a crack legion to the rebellion simmering in the South. Placed in command of a truly terrible company, the 85th Imperial Foot, he is unknowingly sent on a suicide mission to resupply an isolated outpost, the garrison of Vrell. Along the way he must rebuild his new company; gain the respect of the men he leads; survive an assassination attempt; and fight bandits, rebels, and an agent of an evil god.
His companions on this journey of discovery and adventure are one of the few remaining elven rangers and a paladin on a quest for the High Father. The battle to save the empire and the world begins here in the first book of this exciting new series.

I couldn't stop listening loved the elves,.dwarf and magic inclusion it's always nice to have.a good main character.
E. Atkinson
Wonderful New spin on High Fantasy
I picked this up on a whim, Serendipity strikes again! The world is essentially historical Rome, late in the Empire. You are gradually introduced to an elf, then dwarves, then magic (which is very rare in this world)
Roman military tactics and procedures with just a little magic thrown in for spice. The other races and magic are there just enough to change it from being a Roman history story.
The author writes very well, his character creation and dialogue is wonderful (some historical anachronisms, like tobacco, but mostly wonderful and creatively consistent) You get a sense of the entire Roman world and how it influences the characters even though the story focuses on a tiny area and only a few. Expressively and dramatically written.
My only complaint is the speed and the pauses in the reading, but there is always the speed control in the Audible app, so problem solved.
I enjoyed the first one so much that upon finishing I immediately bought the other two, I became so engrossed in the story I was surprised when the second book ended, I paused only to write this review and then I am back into book three.
Chiefkent
Outfreakingstanding!!!
Audible tells me that I've listened to over 350 books over the past 12 months, (have optic neuritis), this book stands simply out over 98% of those books. The plot moves, the characters have appeal, the author seeds hints while weaving his tale and making us invested in Stiger. Mr. Edelheit leaves sufficient mystery regarding both why we have Romans with elves and who exactly is Stiger to whet our curiosity and wanting to listen more about what happens to him. Mr. Edelheit gets us wanting to invest ourselves into Stiger and his wayward company.
Mr. Brand's narration isn't quite up to Mr. Edelheit's prose, one can only hope that as he continues that he will become invested in Stiger and grows with the character.
ashahan
Wasn't sure what to expect. Ended up loving it!
Would you listen to Stiger's Tigers again? Why?
Yes! The narrator, Steven Brand, was perfect. He didn't do stupid accents or try to make each character sound vastly different so you could tell who was speaking. Steven would put the slightest possible change in inflection, pitch, speed of his voice, etc to distinguish which character was speaking.
What did you like best about this story?
The story was pretty typical of a military/fantasy novel but there were some really good twists that gave me goosebumps.
Which character – as performed by Steven Brand – was your favorite?
Stiger by far.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No extreme reactions, but definitely caught by surprise at several points in the novel.
I'm a Stiger's Tiger!!
I can't wait to get the next book. Magic, evil spirits, elves and a hint of dwarfs! Here's my credit give me the next book!!!

LEGIONARIES AND ELVES and DWARVES? OH, MY!
I really enjoy books about Roman legions, life, etc. I'm curious about how the army functioned - what they ate - how they set up camp - and their battle strategies. I got a lot of this kind of information in this book...but I just never could get my head around the 'new story line' of a Roman legion being guided by an Elf - and running into various other 'fantasy' beings like dwarves, etc. I liked the Officer - I liked the narration - but I just hit a brick wall every time the 'fantasy' characters and situations arrived. It was an interesting concept - but I guess I wasn't ready for it. Perhaps if there had been a considerable 'prologue' explaining about this 'new' world, it might have been easier to get used to the idea. I'd definitely listen to this author's series - if he just stuck to the 'traditional' Legion.
Just_Shoppin
I love this series, Hate the price!!!
I am so hooked on this time period. Roman legion, war, the politics it's all cat nip to me. Bu it's an expensive habit. 8 hours at a time they tease this out. But I still enjoy the series and love the main character which is the series namesake.
Keep em coming and I'll keeplistening
Amateurish writing, cool story tho
Despite being only 8 hours long the awkward dialogue has the main character constantly repeating himself in only slightly different words, it's obnoxious. Also, 8 hours wtf? put these books in a bundle or they are a waste of credits
Excellent opening to a series
Excellent. It's a string opening to a series. I like the mixture of roman like military with alternate fantasy universe. Great characters. Looking forward to book 2

Not what I was expecting, based on the description
Based on the description of the book, I purchased it expecting an historical novel perhaps similar to some of Bernard Cornwell's works. What I got was a "sort of" historical/fantasy book. What was not clear form the description was that instead of a story of an Imperial Officer, we have what starts out as a quasi Roman Legion like suite of characters and settings, "but not really." It seems to be taking place in the Germanic forests, in the classical period, "but not really." There are references that are obviously to the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, "but not really." Then the author throws in elves, dwarves, magic, and a "paladin" who is a Friar Tuck like Jesuit priest, "but not really." References to Christianity and Paganism abound, "but not really." Anachronistic references such as the soldiers smoking abound. No, the author did not specify that they were smoking tobacco, and Romans did apparently smoke other herbs, but it read as if it were a sloppy anachronistic mistake. I found myself thinking at times, perhaps the "fuzzy" references are because this book is meant to be set in the future, or a different "time-line" and not "historical" at all. At times, I half expected the characters to walk over a mountain and find the statue of liberty buried to the neck or something. I have a hard time placing this book. It almost has the feel that the author wanted to write historical fiction, but did not want to take the time to research his topics to maintain historical accuracy, so he left the settings and characters as "fuzzy" suggestions of historicity, and then thought that throwing in some gratuitous fantasy elements might increase readership? If the description had been more clear about the nature of this book, I would not have given it a try. I do feel as if I were tricked into buying the book. That being said, as long as the reader understands that the book description does not adequately describe this book, that it is not even attempting to be an historical novel, but is in reality a fantasy novel, you might want to give this book a try. I do like the author's style. The narrator did a very good job on this book, and the book is very readable.

Solid Writing Brought Down By Bland Narrator
I really enjoyed the character building and overall tale of a military Roman-esque Captain molding a company of soldiers into an effective fighting force. It was made better with the addition of the mysterious elven and dwarven races, and a human paladin with awesome god-given powers. However, the narrator didn't change voices for different characters and was very monotone. I felt the excitement of the story, but didn't hear it in his voice.
Apart for the big letdown of the voice acting, the novel moves along quickly and the last part of the book is very good. Overall, this audible book is very short at under 7 hours (the last 30 minutes is a preview for Book 2). I wish I could have given this more stars, but the length and narrator knocked it down for me, so much promise though, hoping Book 2 makes up for it.

I was never much of a reader. I liked to read but I was always very picky about what I read. Just the act of reading was never exciting to me. There had to be great content and purpose to keep me interested. With that said, I do have a favorite book - or series of books. My favorite book is The Spy Wore Red by Aline, Countess of Romanones, which is the first of four books.
The Spy Wore Red is about how Aline went from being a bored model in New York to a international spy during World War II written by Aline herself and is based on true life experiences. There is some controversy around her series of books as to if they are a true autobiography or fiction because they are pretty exciting and can sometimes seem a little too exciting. But real or exaggerated, they're a pretty great series of books and are way overlooked. The authenticity of Aline's secret life may be in question but her public life is so remarkable that I don't have much of a problem believing that the accounts in her books are fairly accurate. She went from being an average girl in New York to a Countess of Spain and was even named best dressed by the Vanity Fair International Hall of Fame in 1962.
Her books are written with incredible detail, especially when it comes to what she was wearing - truly written from the point of view of a best dressed former model. So keep that in mind if you hate extremely detailed, edge-of-your-seat kind of stories. But if you're into that kind of thing, you just found your new favorite book. And after you read The Spy Wore Red and are super sad that it's over, you'll be relieved to know that the story continues for three more books.
I highly suggest reading them all! The last one is exceptionally thrilling, but don't skip ahead!
I don't read much but if you love to read and would like to see more book related posts like this one, check out booksthething.com. She has great reviews of all kinds of books!
Oh my goodness, this sounds incredible! I have to get a copy of it.
These sound great Sarah! I love spy fiction, and I'd never heard of this series before.
So, I read this post a month or two ago when you first posted it..... And I decided to read this book, and all I can say is THANK YOU!!! What an awesome book! Can't wait to read the rest of the series!


The app store is filled with apps that improve lives across the world, but some of the most trending and popular are dating apps. Sure, health is great, but you can use dating apps to find a partner, meet new friends, make casual hookups or even just enjoy a summer break fling!
Everyone wants to meet up with people that have the same mindset as them, and this is exactly what the best dating apps for iOS do. They help bring you closer to people who have a similar set of interests. They use questionnaires and location data to match you with the best possible candidates.
Check out: 10 best dating apps for Android!
Depending on where you live, some apps may be more popular than others. Make sure you check out several apps on the list to maximize your chances of finding a match. Without further ado, here's our list of the best dating apps for iOS.
Released in 2012, Tinder has become increasingly popular over the years as it now has 50 million users. It is a location-based app that finds suitable matches for you based on your distance from other singles. As soon as you log in, the app will start showing you profiles of potential matches. To match with someone, you just have to swipe right. To pass and move onto the next profile, you swipe left. If you swipe right, the app will direct you to a private chat window where you can start a conversation. The biggest advantage of using Tinder and the reason it's first on our list of best dating apps for iOS is its huge user base. This means that there is a better chance for you to find someone who is really compatible with you and shares the same interests.
This dating app was founded in 2004 and lists a staggering 1 million plus app installs almost every week. OkCupid has a more conventional way of pairing people if compared to other dating apps. The app asks you a few questions to figure out your interests, likes, and dislikes. Based on your answers, the app finds suitable matches of people that have similar areas of interest. Through in-app purchases, you can unlock some premium features that include viewing people who like your profile and refined search tools.
Do you want to meet that person you just passed by at the coffee shop? Then you should definitely download Happn. This location-based app works to pair you up with people that you come across in real life. If you have a potential match within 800 feet, then they will show up on your app as a suggestion. It makes things easier because it's much more likely that you match with people that hang out at the same places. It can be your favorite bookshop, coffeehouse, or even your favorite burger hut. You might think there's some danger of stalkers, but there's no need to worry. Happn does not reveal your location to other users.
With 35 million monthly users, this app is ideal not only straight people but also gays and lesbians. The free version of this app has limited features, but if you wish to take advantage of the other features this app has to offer, then you can choose one of its monthly subscription plans. Match has millions of like-minded people with whom you can connect and strike a conversation making it a great dating forum.
It wouldn't be wrong to call Bumble a woman-oriented app as 46.2% of the users on this app are women. However, if you are female then this app will give you an upper hand. You are only given 24 hours to initiate a conversation with a match, so you can contact just those that you're really interested in. There is a special 'BFF' feature on the app which lets you extend your social circle and create a bond with people that have similar choices as you. In the case of homosexuals, either one of the two paired people can start the chat. However, since Bumble is not very popular in many areas, you may have trouble finding a match depending on where you live.
Based in San Francisco, this app allows you to connect with people in a different fashion. The app delivers a match, or 'bagel', every day to you by noon. After that, you will have two options to either 'pass' or 'like' the bagel. This app is great if you're looking for something more exciting than swiping right and left. You can unlock some premium features that will allow you to access activity reports of other users. Moreover, it includes viewing read receipts which make this app a better venture and worthy of being included on the list our best dating apps.
This is a very popular dating app which is used widely in over 190 countries and has a huge user base of almost 370 million. Badoo has a similar swiping system to Tinder coupled with a very strong verification system. This means that there are no catfishing experiences for subscribers. The premium features make your experience more genuine by adding photos and social media links.
Plenty of Fish sets itself apart by offering a free way to chat with other singles. As a result, it boasts some of the highest conversation rates of all dating apps for iOS. It's available in more than 30 languages, so you're sure to find a match wherever you live. The only downside is that accounts aren't vetted, so you may run into fake accounts attempting to catfish.
We have listed down some of the best dating apps for iOS along with their ratings and the features they offer. All the apps are great for dating, starting friendships, or even just finding a one-night stand! As mentioned above, make sure you try out several to find the one that works best for you.

Menlo Park: SLAC National Accelerator…
Menlo Park: SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory brings back free tours
By Daily News |
PUBLISHED: April 5, 2016 at 6:40 a.m. | UPDATED: May 17, 2018 at 7:05 a.m.
MENLO PARK — A local government laboratory whose research has led to three physics Nobel Prizes is bringing back free public tours this month.
SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, a Department of Energy facility operated by Stanford, is offering tours on April 15 and April 29 for the first time in roughly three years.
"Tours were put on hold because the previous tour program coordinator left, and there were some temporary budget constraints on filling that position," said Andrew Gordon, SLAC's external communications manager, adding that the lab is looking to offer tours more than twice a month in the near future.
Tours last 90 minutes and attendees must be at least 12 years old and are asked to wear comfortable, closed-toed shoes. Attendees under 18 must be accompanied by an adult and all must sign waivers.
"There is a little bit of walking involved," said Gordon, adding shuttles ferry attendees between sites.
Guests start by watching a short, introductory film before visiting a portion of the 2-mile-long linear accelerator to learn about its history and significance. From there, guests are ferried to the Linac Coherent Light Source, the world's first electron-free hard X-ray laser. Guests can view up to seven active experiment stations, "depending on what experiments are taking place," Gordon said.

R programming is preferably used programming language that was created to compute statistical information and data. However, to make use of R programming language, you need an integrated development environment (IDE), which is R-Studio. R-Studio provides the solution by reconstructing various modules so that everything can be found in a single software. It is an open source IDE and is available free to download that can be run on Linux, Windows and OS X.
But its assignments are not as easy as it sounds. You need to understand the interface, editor and syntax, which requires a lot of your time. A one solution could be to devote proper time to learn these concepts and devote extra time in doing these assignment projects, or other solution is to opt for R Studio assignment help.
It is a much more generalised linear model that helps to count data and contingency tables used in several form. Poisson regression is based on regression analysis methods, which works by putting the value of y, and thereby itsPoisson distribution and the logarithm of its expected value can be easily modelled linearly using unknown parameters.
Big data analytics can be defined as process of examining large and different data sets or several big data to explore similar or different information including hidden patterns, certain market trends, unknown correlations and customer preferences that can help an organisation to make informed business plan as well as the decisions.
The approach to negative binomial regression is simple. However, it is a generalised version of Poisson that uses a low amount of restrictive assumption. R Studio programming assistant drives the approach of negative binomial regression on all types of data including numerical or categorical.
There are many other subject topics such as Data Mining and Warehousing, clustering, Time analysis data, and many more that were giving nightmares to students. But now, all they go to an assignment help expert.
Why Do Students Want To Learn R-Studio?
There are certain disciplines such as Marketing analytics, Statistics, Business and Data analytics, etc. that uses R studio for computing several analytical information. Therefore, students interested in making their careers to the corresponding fields are needed to learn basic and advanced features of R-studio to understand and successfully operate the tool.
The syntax of R programming is much more different than other programming language, which also adds to the complexity at the same time. Also, many universities have now mandated R Studio assignments to be included in their academic curriculum, thereby increasing the complexity. Therefore, online assignment help services is a good way to find assistance with this language and software, who can assist you to reduce your work load and is certainly good for almost every activity ranging from data import & cleaning,production trading, data visualisation and simulations, explorations and many more.
My Assignment Services is considered to be the best assignment provider of R Studio assignment help from last 8 years. Their exceptional free Turnitin reports, assignments on time, partial payments, unlimited revisions, live guidance with the expert, and many such services are the key points that is making them one of the preferred services among students.

Cup fever is the talk of Accring-toon, with Stanley's Carling Cup clash with Premier League Newcastle United just five days away.
Wednesday's match is being touted as one of the biggest in Accrington's history, and it's hoped the game, which is live on Sky TV, will net the Reds a vital £200,000.
The draw has caught the imagination of both sets of fans, with Stanley supporters queueing at the Crown Ground since tickets went on general sale on Tuesday.
Extra police have also been drafted in an anticipation of a large and boisterous away turnout, with club bosses saying the police presence would easily outstrip that for last season's FA Cup tie with fellow top flight side Fulham.
Visiting fans unable to get a £20 ticket are expected to get a taste of the atmosphere by watching the game in the Crown.
Hospitality and sponsorship packages are also available, with a unique chance to pose with the Carling Cup trophy, between 6 and 7pm.
For £80 per ticket hospitality guests are also promised a three-course meal, souvenir programme, match ticket, team sheet, halfway line seats and an appearance from assistant manager Jimmy Bell.
Commercial executive Danielle Fox said it promised to be a cracker.
She said: "Everybody is so excited and looking forward to the game.
"There is a lot more preparation than for a normal league match, this one is probably 10 times bigger. We've got perimeter boards coming to be fitted on Monday and Tuesday.
"We're doing a limited edition programme which is going to be a lot bigger and glossier and it's got to be something that fans can buy and keep."
The club is also expecting limited edition scarves and merchandise to be available both before and on the night.
Accrington's geographic Inspector Andy Winter said he didn't expect trouble - but urged people to get to the match early.
He said: "There will be an increased police presence at the match and we are expecting a good turnout to what should be an enjoyable game.
"We are not anticipating any trouble although a policing operation will be in place both inside and outside the ground and any troublemakers will be dealt with robustly. We are working with the club to make sure the supporters can enjoy themselves safely."
To book a hospitality ticket call Danielle Fox in the commercial department on (01254) 356957 from 9.30am to 5pm.

This week marks my one-year anniversary with my Mirena - the IUD with a leetle beet of hormone. Hormone my OB promised wouldn't affect me at all. And I believed him. Even though he was like, "you may not ever have a period again as long as you're on it!" and I was like, "Oh! Cool! That seems natural for the female body! Stick 'er in there, sir!"
Because I'm not very smart.

The world is watchinng you Chernarus. Part 2
By AutomatedDragon,
December 9, 2013 in DayZRP Mod Lore and Stories
AutomatedDragon
Allan Payne walked out of the stuffy and heated briefing room to an overcast sky, the rain had stopped during his briefing and the smell of the air gave evidence to that. "in a few days, I will be missing this heat." Allan thought, as he walked he was flanked by two soldier escorting him to a helicopter that will be taking him to his plane. " miles deep into cleared Texan territory and they still insist on guards." Allan thought wearily, Allan could remember another time he was flanked by guard, his personal guards, but no, no that was another man, another time, another place. This is who he was, Allan Payne, Republic of Texas UN representative to Chernarus, he must never remember India, he must never tell, if anyone knew then all of his family and comrades would hate him. Before he climbed onto the helicopter he was saluted by his guards and he returned the gesture, now he was able to relax for a few hours, not having to worry about anything. But Allan Payne could find no peace during his ride to his plane, the sound of the rotors only stood to produced another horrifying flash back to his time in India. Flashes of fire and blood filled his uneasy mind, screams of women and children ringing in his ears, and in a fit of panic he thought "I don't have to go, I could just lunge at the pilot and end it here, no one will have to know, no one!" But before he could make due on that thought, he could here the pilot speak to his co-pilot though his head set." John, how much trouble will we get in if I go and pick up some chicks in this chopper?" The co-pilot responds "Tom I would love to but I don't think MR.Payne will like to be our designated pilot for today." "Aww hell John," the pilot says " Mr.Payne wouldn't care now would he?" Allan realizing that he was the subject of conversation replies. "if i wasn't a married man then I would take you up on that." The pilot chuckles and goes about his work.
It took them about two hours to get to the air field, the watch on Allan's wrist read 2:30PM, "thirty minutes early" Allan thought. After the haste of the day Allan forgot to call his wife to tell her that he was going to be leaving soon, of course she was used to these type of spare of the moment missions and both of them was expecting him to be going into the field any day now. Allan took out his personal phone and called his wife " hey Lisa" Allan began, Allan's tone gave way to his stress and sorrow, his wife being an observant person took his tone to mean that he was about to go onto a mission. "Did my father come and speak with you, you know there is no shame in coming home right?" Lisa asked, "yes he did, but you know me, I want to help these people, and if every person just went off and quit when people needed them then world will have never changed." Alla said. "I know you tell me this speech every time I try to stop you, its just, y.... you've never been the same sense India." When his wife first asked him about it he had been quiet and reserved, and when she pressed him he would be defensive and short in his answers. Now he had more time to perfect his lie, the lie that he would tell in both his reports and to his family. "that's nothing to worry about Lisa, anyone would come back a little shaken if they saw the amount of zombies I have seen." of course it was not really a lie, India being an over populated country had some of the worst cases of recorded infestation, but it was not the whole truth, the truth was to be known only to Allan and the ones that now lay either dead or too scared to tell.
Allan finished up his conversion with his wife as his plane gets ready to take off to its destination, Galveston. Two men wearing expensive suits greet Allan as he took his place at a table, Allan knew these two men through his mission briefing back at base. The short old white man was a Chernarus native, but was not home during the outbreak. The second was a Brazilian native, but was both a Texas and US citizen for many years. Both men where there to inform him of the finer details of his mission and gave him good advice. " My people are strong, stubborn and proud, much like you Texans the too wish to remain free and independent." The old man stated, " when last I was there I attempted to tell the people of Chernaus that enemy was not each other, but it was the dead that the living should worry about, in return I was shot and had to go back home." said the other man.
After hours of the Chernarus old man speaking of his people and telling him there history, and the other man telling of how best to diplomatically explain to the people of Chernarus to not kill each other. Allan then came to conclusion that the advice of both men would be either out of date or inaccurate. The old man only know the post war Chernarus and people can change, the other man was a failure and was more then likely to tell Allan how best to get him killed. But he was respectful and listened anyway. Before the plane landed the old man looked at Allan and said "the world is watching Chernarus, the world powers want to see you pull these people from the brink and use them as an example for the future, but if you fail, then the UN is prepared to clear the infection the faster and easier way" Allan knew what that meant. "If I fail then there just going to bomb the damn thing" Allan thought, Allan felt the landing gear hit the ground, he then walked out of the plane when it stopped and walked into the night.
Good read!

El arcoíris (también llamado reverse flick-over o rainbow flick en inglés, la carretilha o la lambreta en Brasil, la lambretta en Italia, la brasileña en Rumania, el movimiento de Ardiles en el Reino Unido, el Okocha-Truco en Alemania y el Coup du sombrero en Francia), es, en el fútbol, un regate que consiste en levantar con el talón el balón por detrás y hacerlo pasar por encima del defensor. Mientras la pelota se encuentra en el aire el atacante sobrepasa al defensor.

Historia

Este regate es una impresionante demostración de habilidad, a veces visto en fútbol callejero o fútbol sala. Rara vez se usa en el fútbol profesional actual, ya que tiene una tasa de éxito relativamente baja, pero algunos jugadores con gran confianza y destreza pueden intentarlo de vez en cuando como una jugada para sobrepasar al oponente. Un realizador frecuente era el nigeriano Jay-Jay Okocha y, ocasionalmente, el brasileño Ronaldinho.

Fue ejecutado por primera vez en 1968, por el brasileño Alexandre de Carvalho "Kaneco". Se realizó en la Copa Mundial de Fútbol de 2002 cuando İlhan Mansız, de la selección de Turquía, en lo que se describió como un movimiento de "sombrero" de "habilidad escandalosa", golpeó el balón sobre su cabeza y la cabeza del lateral izquierdo Roberto Carlos de la selección de fútbol de Brasil, lo que obligó a Carlos a cometer una falta. A veces, el uso de regates, como el arcoíris, se considera exhibicionista e irrespetuoso con el jugador o equipo rival. En marzo de 2008, el jugador del Sheffield Wednesday F. C. Franck Songo'o intentó el regate, y un informe de un partido comentó que el árbitro "detuvo rápidamente el juego cuando los jugadores [oponentes] se amontonaron amenazando con linchar [a él]".

El arcoíris aparece en una popular secuencia de la película Escape to Victory de 1981, cuando el regate es utilizado por el personaje interpretado por Osvaldo Ardiles, lo que llevó al nombre de "movimiento de Ardiles". Una reseña lo describió así: "el punto culminante de los efectos especiales de todos los tiempos es cuando Osvaldo Ardiles lanza la pelota por encima de su cabeza".

También ha aparecido en videojuegos de fútbol, incluyendo el FIFA 08, donde se describe como "Uno de los movimientos de fútbol más famosos". En la actualidad, el brasileño Neymar es un notable exponente del arcoíris.

Q: How to assign/change values to top N values in dataframe using nlargest? So using .nlargest I can get top N values from my dataframe.
Now if I run the following code:
df.nlargest(25, 'Change')['TopN']='TOP 25'

I expect to change all affected values in TopN column to become TOP 25. But somehow this assignemnt does not work and those rows remain unaffected. What am I doing wrong?

A: Assuming you really want the TOPN (limited to N values as nlargest would do), use the index from df.nlargest(25, 'Change')  and loc:
df.loc[df.nlargest(25, 'Change').index, 'TopN'] = 'TOP 25'

Note the difference with the other approach that will give you all matching values:
df.loc[df['Change'].isin(df['Change'].nlargest(25)), 'TopN'] = 'TOP 25'

Highlighting the difference:
df = pd.DataFrame({'Change': [1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5]})
df.loc[df.nlargest(4, 'Change').index, 'TOP4 (A)'] = 'X'
df.loc[df['Change'].isin(df['Change'].nlargest(4)), 'TOP4 (B)'] = 'X'

output:
    Change TOP4 (A) TOP4 (B)
0        1      NaN      NaN
1        2      NaN      NaN
2        3      NaN      NaN
3        4        X        X
4        5        X        X
5        1      NaN      NaN
6        2      NaN      NaN
7        3      NaN      NaN
8        4      NaN        X
9        5        X        X
10       1      NaN      NaN
11       2      NaN      NaN
12       3      NaN      NaN
13       4      NaN        X
14       5        X        X

A: one thing to be aware of is that nlargest does not return ties by default, as in, on the 25th position if you have 5 rows where Change = 25th ranked value, nlargest would only return 25 rows rather than 29 rows unless you specify the parameter keep to be all
Using this parameter, it would be possible to identify the top 25 as
df.loc[df.nlargest(25, 'Change', 'all').index, 'TopN'] = 'Top 25'

A: Solution for compare top25 values by all values of column is:
df.loc[df['Change'].isin(df['Change'].nlargest(25)), 'TopN'] = 'TOP 25'

Community health officer: the concept of mid-level health care providers
Shrikant Desai, Ravin K. Bishnoi, Pankaj Punjot
The concept of mid-level health providers started 100 years ago in many countries and showed a remarkable change in their health indicators. Since last 10 years, the growth of health professionals is in rise with its new emerging roles. Special training with adopted skills is required for mid-level health care providers and the outline roles and responsibilities are already in existence for them. Mid-level health care providers are new emerging workforce in healthcare sector. India is alarming country for disease burden and to cover the huge gap in providing health care facilities, it requires the mid-level health care providers at different settings of the country. Indian community setting is in need to have access of affordable health care and government of India through National Health Mission (NHM) has declare the new pivotal role of community health officer (CHO) with its constructed roles and responsibilities for public health. According to NMC bill 2019, nurses are the first choice for CHO and this will also pave the way for professional development. Since there is global shortage of healthcare professionals and raising need of health care facilities especially in community setting, CHO is new evolving role which will promote the health care in access to community public. CHO being Midlevel health care provider will reduce the burden of other healthcare professionals and also contribute to achieve the aim of 'health for all'. The aim of this review was to bring a new insight of CHO with its global concept.

In order to create awareness among people living in India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had taken to the microblogging site, Twitter and asked Bollywood film stars to urge their fans in their owns ways to inspire and motivate to cast vote in the upcoming elections. Taking to Twitter today (on March 21), Salman Khan stressed every eligible Indian to cast their votes and take part in making the next government.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not only ask Salman Khan to make an appeal. Modi had requested to several other Bollywood stars including Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Karan Johar, Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, Anushka Sharma, Ranveer Singh, Vicky Kaushal, Shankar Mahadevan, Lata Mangeshkar, AR Rahman, Bajpayee Manoj, to inspire and motivate to exercise their votes.
Interestingly, all of Modi's tweets ended with a punch line exclusively meant at targetting the youth and the movie lovers. From using the reference of Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh starrer Gully Boy to Vicky Kaushal's Uri: The Surgical Strike, his candid tweets forced many stars to reply to PM Modi.
Aamir Khan, Mohanlal, Karan Johar, Manoj Bajpayee, Vicky Kaushal, AR Rahman and Akshay Kumar were some of those who have already lent their support.
Absolutely right sir, Hon PM. Let us all engage as citizens of the biggest democracy in the world. Let us fulfill our responsibility, and avail of our right to get our voice heard.

Hong Kong boat owners count cost of Typhoon Mangkhut after hundreds of vessels are washed ashore, damaged or sunk
South China Morning Post. By Denise Tsang.
Boats were among the biggest casualties of Typhoon Mangkhut in Hong Kong, with hundreds washed ashore, damaged or sunk, while at a yacht club the devastation was such that staff had to swim to work.
Luxury vessels, dinghies and other boats of various sizes were battered in Sai Kung, while two yacht clubs on Middle Island – off Deep Water Bay on Hong Kong Island – faced destruction on a scale not seen before after the strongest typhoon in the city's recorded history struck on Sunday.
While the damage was still being assessed on Tuesday, a yacht club manager said "long negotiations on insurance claims" would come next for boat owners.
"I have never seen such a powerful typhoon in my 25-year stint in Hong Kong," Aberdeen Boat Club general manager Philippe de Manny said on Tuesday. "We are still counting inventory because many dinghies and kayaks were piled up or lost during powerful waves."
Mangkhut mauled Hong Kong with 175km/h (109mph) winds and there was a record storm surge, with floodwaters reaching their highest levels since 1904, according to the city's forecaster.

Room for One More? - By Tom Campbell http://www.mafmad.com.au Tom's short film centres around two best friends on their way to a party. Amped and excited about the night ahead, Jake is given grim warnings about the distractions occurring around him and the consequences they may have, should he choose not to alter the situation. The Make a Film, Make a Difference / MAFMAD competition calls on young film makers, 25 and under, to write an idea for a short film that will challenge young people's attitudes to driving, independence and looking out for their mates. MAFMAD is entering it's ninth year of existence and during this period, 17 exceptional films have been produced by young Victorians. From the ideas submitted, two filmmakers are given the go-ahead to produce their short films with a budget of $20,000, providing an opportunity to work with the TAC in developing a film that will make a difference. Once produced, the films will be shown in cinemas, online and at youth events. Winners will also receive a $5,000 cash prize. This competition forms part of the TAC's youth risk taking marketing strategy targeting 16-25 year olds. Research suggests that this age group is more receptive to peer-to-peer marketing rather than traditional mass media. This competition was consequently developed with the premise that they are short films with valuable messages created by young people, for young people.

Freeman Superintendent Kevin Kunz outlined his proposal that the Freeman School District eliminate both a custodial position and music position as a way to save money long-term, but school board members showed no interest in eliminating one of the three music teachers at its regular monthly meeting Wednesday night, Dec. 13.
However, board members voted to reduce the custodial staff from three to two after meeting in executive session to discuss "personnel" later on Wednesday. Kunz told the Courier after the meeting the motion did not specify who would be cut; only that it was "based on seniority." The vote was 4-0, with Kerry Hofer, Corey Gall, Mark Miller and Kyle Weier voting for the move. Laverne Diede abstained.
Freeman Public employs Brian Furney, Gregg Uecker and Larry Wipf on its custodial staff. The district is required to give the reduced staff member 10 days notice.
Kunz said school officials will visit with the two remaining custodians about what this means for workload; custodians currently work 40 regular weekly hours, with 10 additional hours overtime. The overtime hours are spent primarily after the traditional workday — at athletic events, for example.
"There's going to be extra work," Kunz told the board. "That's a conversation we're going to have to have with them."
As for the music position, board member Laverne Diede spoke extensively in favor of keeping the music staff at three to maintain a strong program, as did board president Kerry Hofer. But it was board member Kyle Weier who best summarized the mood in the room: "If there's one thing somebody is going to come here for, it's not football, it's not our math program — and nothing against those — but it's our music program," he said. "Why be average when we're already exceptional?"
All three music teachers — Sonja Waltner (who is a 90 percent staff member, with 65 percent K-6 music and 25 percent computer), Mindee Birnstiehl (7-12 vocal) and Sheila Wipf (7-12 instrumental) — attended Wednesday night's meeting. Two of the three custodians — Furney and Wipf — were also in attendance.


The objective of this study is to determine the biological mechanism for systemic effects associated with acute exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM). We have hypothesized that inhaled PM causes immediate effects on the autonomic regulation of the cardiovascular system resulting in a stress response, and that the biological changes associated with this response can explain a substantial portion of the mortality associated with acute exposure to PM. Our preliminary studies have demonstrated that concentrated ambient PM induces a stress response in normal rats. We will determine whether environmentally relevant concentrations of PM cause a stress response and whether there is a threshold concentration below which PM does not cause acute cardiovascular changes. Moreover, because epidemiologic evidence that PM-associated adverse effects may occur in those individuals with preexisting illness, we have also hypothesized that concentrated ambient PM will produce these systemic effects at lower concentrations in an animal model of compromised health. Because of the confounding effects of gaseous co-pollutants on estimates of relative risk of morbidity and mortality attributable to PM exposure, we will test the hypothesis that ozone and sulfur dioxide alter the stress response to inhaled PM. Finally, because there is uncertainty as to the relative contribution of indoor versus outdoor PM to adverse health effects, we also will examine the dose-response curves for concentrated indoor and outdoor PM.
We have demonstrated that the cardiovascular changes produced by exposure to concentrated ambient PM do not occur in rodents on all exposure days. These findings were observed in rodents equipped with EKG transmitters and repeatedly exposed to ambient particles concentrated from New York City air. To reduce the confounding influence of co-pollutants, both ozone and sulfur dioxide were removed from the exposure atmosphere. These results suggest that the adverse effects of PM may be strongly influenced by the day-to-day variation in particle composition. We also have determined that exposure to relatively high levels of concentrated ambient PM does not alter pulmonary function in guinea pigs, rats, and hamsters. We also have begun to examine the genetic susceptibility of rodents to inhaled PM by observing the pulmonary effects of concentrated ambient PM in two inbred strains of mice. No lavage fluid parameters were changed by exposure to concentrated ambient PM, although cytokine mRNA expression was altered (collaboration with Dr. Mossman, University of Vermont).
As determined so far, concentrated ambient PM has not produced biologically significant adverse health effects in the compromised animal models used to date. We will, therefore, focus our next set of studies on the possible adverse effects of PM in spontaneously hypertensive rats and the role of genetic susceptibility in the response to particles.


Juicy has been quite pleased with herself these days. She's slimmed down by 4 lbs since May and 6 lbs since January. I couldn't be more pleased. I am completely at fault for her weight gain. When my own health relapsed I spent many days sofa bound and the days I could walk, only accomplished 2 short miles, which is a long cry from the 4-5 miles she regularly took when she was younger. Over the last few months she's had so much pain in her shoulders and back legs that we really had to take charge. Though we did a lot of physical therapy and acupuncture it wasn't enough to keep the pain away. For one thing she was well-overweight. For another, even after PT and massage, she'd continue to re-injure herself by performing crazy stunts down or up steep slopes on the trails where she'd inevitably pull or strain a muscle and cause knots in other muscles. Plus there may have been some pinched nerves from her exuberant moves. This is all due to having hip dysplasia and moving in unnatural ways to accommodate the hip pain. What good is PT and releasing tight muscles if she keeps re-injuring herself over and over?
So we took charge. First, I put her on a strict diet, which started right after Mr. Wild Dingo left for two week business trip. She lost 2 lbs within those two weeks. I would still like her to lose 3-4 more pounds which will be difficult now that Mr. Wild Dingo is home. I have been keeping my evil on him though and she's growing more used to getting fewer treats. Those first two weeks, she was aghast at the lack of treat dispensing, let alone the new Anti-Cheeses regulations. She would look at me after dinner with big wide eyes and an open mouth trying her best to be cute to earn more food. But I am evil and am very good at ignoring her. Still, while I fix dinner, I toss her some baby carrots and raw broccoli and she loves it, so that's what she gets as treats.
Second, I enforced a no more off-leash romping on the trails policy. I can hear all the husky owners saying, "Huskies should never be off leash!" But Juno's always been very good at staying close to Loki and me. Still, she loves to do her own thing, go off trail and down or up slopes so steep, it'd defy gravity if anyone could climb them! At the very least an on-leash-only-walkie rule would at least keep her from doing something to hurt herself. At first I thought, if she doesn't get to run, she can't burn calories but at this stage and her age, it's just not worth it.
"Gimme da treat, lady! This exercise is piece of cake. Of which, I see you are not providing, even though I totally stuck this landing."
Since the weight loss, plus the on-leash only policy, Juicy has been extra bouncy around the house and more playful with Loki. Both she and Loki keep the play in check so not to hurt herself, she's fairly conscious about hurting herself in rough-housing and knows how to back off or protect herself, just not when she barrels down a slope. Loki's always been very gentle with her as he senses her pain. But honestly Internet, she's climbing the stairs to the bedroom at night with greater ease and it's easier to get her up from a snooze to go potty before bed. When she's in pain, it's like pulling teeth to get her up to go potty. Now she just pops up and goes right out the door.
It breaks my heart to see her in pain and I'm glad we found some practical solutions. We've also put her back on the water treadmill to beef up her jodhpurs as they've become very skinny from lack of treadmill work. I had stopped treadmill work with her because of my relapse. I was too sick to leave the house for more than what was absolutely necessary at times. Of course she loves the water treadmill and when we went to our first appointment back since January, she jumped right into the tank, even without her swimsuit on!
"Look Daddy-O. I take you to physical therapy to be my cheerleader, not my competition! Now bug off!"
A few days ago, someone was admiring her on a walk. We were stopped at the ATM and Juno got up to move away from the person as she always does. It's her way of protecting her sensitive backside, as she's never sure if someone will go up to her back end and give her a rough scratch or pat like many people think dogs like. As I explained to the lady why she moved, she understood and said her lab's back legs did the same type of shaking when he got older. She never indicated how she addressed it but it seemed she didn't do anything. I don't know the woman's full story, but it seems that there are so many fantastic solutions today to managing pain with structural issues like hip dysplasia than there were years ago. Also, so many people just want a pill to make it better and it's never that simple. Managing a structural challenge or disability in a body, human or animal, requires quite a bit of thought in terms of motor movement and how to strengthen some areas while releasing tight knots in other areas. While I did give her Rimadyl for 3 days initially during the worst part of her pain, I cannot imagine using a drug as damaging as that one is to the kidneys and liver to manage pain for life. It's not worth it. I'd rather put in the work, make the sacrifice of PT appointments with my network of vets and therapists and manage her weight. There are also added benefit of on-leash-only walks: no more poison oak from hugging her, no more ticks crawling on her and no fear of her running into a rattlesnake or coyote.
"I swear I won't interfere with Juicy's exercises, Momma. But will woo play those games with me too?"
She's now at 61 lbs. I'd love to get her to 58, her slimmest weight in Switzerland. If I get her to 60 or 59, I'd be happy with that too. After all, just those 4 lbs and leash walk rule has made a huge impact. Oh and the PT is super helpful too! My vets rock!
As I end this post, I'm observing Juno play bow and hip-check Loki and Loki biting her scruff. Wow! Just like puppies again. Sigh.


Frimley Green, losing the toss and fielding in humid conditions, got off to a great start at Badshot Lea. David Huggett, finding swing in the air, caught the edge of opener Morrison's bat second ball and saw Gordon Marsh take a comfortable catch at slip. Huggett ripped out the top 4 plus number 7 and, with Dave Brown chipping in at the other end, Badshot Lea were in tatters at 65/6. However, that was merely the start of a great comeback from BLCC. With the lower order swinging the bat and connecting more often than not, they made quick runs and somehow got to a very testing total of 197. With Dave Brown getting a good start but giving it away, and Antony Johnson harshly adjudged LBW, FGCC were soon in trouble in their reply. Despite Steve Murphy's battling 25 from number 8, FGCC collapsed to 139 all out.

Q: Swagger generation is ignoring SecurityDefiniton Cannot understand one thing, why swag init command is generating everything, except SecurityDefinition block
For example, this is my code on main function:
// @title Swagger API
// @version 1.0
// @description This is a documentation for PlatOps Core tool.
// @termsOfService http://platops.com/
// @license.name Apache 2.0
// @license.url http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html
// @host test.com
// @BasePath /v2
// @securityDefinitions.apikey Bearer
// @in header
// @name Authorization

And how I'm using :
// GetUser godoc
// @Summary Retrieves users list
// @Tags users
// @Accept json
// @Produce json
// @Success 200 {object} string
// @Failure 400,404 {object} string
// @Failure 500 {object} string
// @Router /api/users/ [get]
// @Security Bearer

From this, it's generating everything, this path also, but no SecurityDefinition block inside.
I'm trying to implement this one:
https://github.com/swaggo/swag#security
P.S. If I put already generated text on the generated doc file, it's working... so why it cannot generate it?
"securityDefinitions": {
        "api_key": {
            "type": "apiKey",
            "name": "Bearer",
            "in": "header"
        },
}

A: Add your security definitions in the file which you are passing in the swag init -g flag... Mostly it should be your main.go file... it should show up once you do that

Widening Kenaston 'No. 1 priority' for First Nations group working on Kapyong Barracks land
The First Nations group taking over part of the Canadian Forces Kapyong Barracks lands in Winnipeg wants to work with the city to widen Kenaston Boulevard as soon as possible.
Treaty 1 First Nations hope to have negotiations with city mostly done by Oct. 24 election
CBC News · Posted: Apr 27, 2018 10:06 AM CT | Last Updated: April 27, 2018
An agreement in principle about the Kapyong Barracks land, between seven First Nations and the federal government, was signed earlier this month in Winnipeg. (CBC)
"Our No. 1 priority is Kenaston," said Long Plain First Nation Chief Dennis Meeches.
Long Plain is one of the seven Treaty 1 First Nations that signed an agreement in principle with the federal government earlier this month regarding the former Kapyong Barracks land. Scant detail was made public at the time, but Treaty 1 leaders said they plan to create an urban reserve and develop the First Nations portion of the land.
Meeches said work in the area will begin with the widening of Kenaston Boulevard, along a portion of Winnipeg's major Route 90 that squeezes down to four lanes and 50 km/h. The long-awaited project is already being studied by the city, but the city needs to acquire 30 parcels of the Kapyong site to do it.
Meeches wants most of that negotiation to be complete before the upcoming civic election, set for Oct. 24.
"It just may slow the process down," he said. "I'm not exactly sure if it would. I don't think there's any real cause for concern on it."
Few details in Kapyong deal between federal government, Treaty 1 First Nations
Military begins tearing down houses near Kapyong Barracks
The city has been planning to widen Kenaston Boulevard for 15 years as part of a Route 90 reconstruction that would extend from Taylor Avenue in Tuxedo to Ness Avenue in St. James. The project also encompasses replacements for the St. James bridges over the Assiniboine River.
The Kapyong land is nestled between the affluent Tuxedo and River Heights neighbourhoods. (CBC)
There is no funding for the project, which is expected to cost hundreds of millions of dollars and remains in the design phase.
Acquiring the Kapyong property could allow the city to proceed with the southern portion of the widening sooner rather than later, provided the city obtains funding. The province and Ottawa would be asked to contribute to the project.
The city set out a general plan for the widening in 2012 but detailed design was put on hold until a resolution was reached regarding the fate of Kapyong Barracks.
Meeting with city Tuesday
Meeches said his group will meet with representatives of the city on Tuesday.
The parties need to work out the amount of land needed and possible changes to intersections, and establish a municipal development service agreement before work can start.
"We need to hear from the city," Meeches said. "I think they have some idea on what their requirements are. There's also, from our side, there's a few things we would like to put on the table."
The seven First Nations in the Treaty 1 group are Long Plain First Nation, Brokenhead Ojibway Nation, Peguis First Nation, Roseau River Anishinabe First Nation, Sagkeeng First Nation, Sandy Bay First Nation and Swan Lake First Nation.
Meeches said his group met earlier this week with the Canada Lands Co., the arm's-length Crown corporation that handles real estate, development and attractions management for the federal government. Canada Lands is overseeing the Kapyong Barracks redevelopment and sale and will be present when the Treaty 1 leaders meet with the city on Tuesday.
Winnipeg takes another step toward Kenaston widening with St. James Bridge replacement study
Kapyong Barracks demolition will begin in 2017, federal government says
After years in the works, Meeches said he's pleased to see movement on the project.
"I think it's good for everybody. Finally, it's happening," he said.
The Treaty 1 group also plans to erect a war museum on site in honour of Indigenous soldiers who fought for Canada.
"People may or may not know there's a very, very proud history of Indigenous soldiers that have fought for Canada," Meeches said.
"And a lot of that has to do with the Treaty-Crown relationship that we have and to protect the Treaty, to protect Canada's interest."
Take a look inside Kapyong Barracks, as it looked in 2012:
CBC's Sean Kavanagh goes on an exclusive tour of a former military site that now has some of the most valuable and unused land in Winnipeg. 2:12
Kapyong has been mostly abandoned since the 2nd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, moved to the Canadian Forces Base in Shilo, Man., in 2004. The land, estimated to be worth between $65 million and $90 million in 2015, was declared surplus and the federal Treasury Board tried to sell it to the Canada Lands Crown corporation.
The group of Treaty 1 First Nations challenged the sale and argued outstanding Treaty Land Entitlement claims meant they had a right to the site.
The land transfer was ruled illegitimate, but the federal government fought the decision in the courts until then-prime minister Stephen Harper announced in 2015 that the government would no longer continue to appeal the decision.

Q: How to scan a table and retrieve the lowest value I want to retrieve a minimum value from a table in dynamodb (in Javascript). the value that I want to get is of a regular attribute, and not a key. If there is more than one- then I would like to limit it to just one.
for example, I have a table of events. the key is the user Id and the sort key is the event Id. I want to get the event with the minimum number of attendees, which is an extra attribute.
Can anyone help me please?
Thank you.

A: Assuming that this is a table of values, a simple for loop check should do the trick:
    for(i = 0; i < rowLength; i ++)
    {
            for(j = 0; j < columnLength; j ++)
            {
                    temp = table.numberOfAttendees[i][j];
                    if(temp < minimum)
                    {
                            minimum = temp;
                            rowOfMin = i;
                            columnOfMin = j;
                    }
            }
    }

Before execution:

*

*declare i, j, minimum, temp, rowOfMin, and columnOfMin(I don't know the syntax)

*make sure that minimum is set to some high value so that no values will be overlooked
After execution:

*

*minimum will be the smallest number of attendees

*rowOfMin and columnOfMin will be the indexes of the table
Hope this helps!
