Use of ASTEPRO has been associated with somnolence [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
In a 4 week clinical trial, 191 patients ages 6 months to 5 years with either seasonal and/or perennial allergic rhinitis were treated with either ASTEPRO 0.1% or ASTEPRO 0.15% one spray per nostril twice daily. The most frequently ( ≥ 2%) reported adverse reactions were pyrexia, cough, epistaxis, sneezing, dysgeusia, rhinalgia, upper respiratory infection, vomiting, otitis media, contact dermatitis, and oropharyngeal pain. Overall, adverse events were slightly higher in the ASTEPRO 0.15% group (28%) compared to ASTEPRO 0.1% group (21%). Focused nasal examinations were performed and showed no incidence of nasal mucosal ulceration at any time point during the study. No patients had reports of nasal septal perforation. Overall, less than 3% of the combined ASTEPRO groups discontinued due to adverse events.
In the above trials, somnolence was reported in < 1% of patients treated with ASTEPRO 0.15% (11 of 1544) or vehicle placebo (1 of 1339).
In the 12 month, open-label, active-controlled, long-term safety trial, 466 patients (12 years of age and older) with perennial allergic rhinitis were treated with ASTEPRO 0.15% two sprays per nostril twice daily and 237 patients were treated with mometasone nasal spray two sprays per nostril once daily. The most frequently reported adverse reactions ( > 5%) with ASTEPRO 0.15% were bitter taste, headache, sinusitis, and epistaxis. Focused nasal examinations were performed and no nasal ulcerations or septal perforations were observed. In each treatment group, approximately 3% of patients had mild epistaxis. No patients had reports of severe epistaxis. Fifty-four patients (12%) treated with ASTEPRO 0.15% and 17 patients (7%) treated with mometasone nasal spray discontinued from the trial due to adverse events.
Concurrent use of ASTEPRO Nasal Spray with alcohol or other central nervous system depressants should be avoided because reductions in alertness and impairment of central nervous system performance may occur [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Interaction studies investigating the cardiac effects, as measured by the corrected QT interval (QTc), of concomitantly administered oral azelastine hydrochloride and erythromycin or ketoconazole were conducted. Oral erythromycin (500 mg three times daily for 7 days) had no effect on azelastine pharmacokinetics or QTc based on analyses of serial electrocardiograms. Ketoconazole (200 mg twice daily for 7 days) interfered with the measurement of azelastine plasma concentrations on the analytic HPLC; however, no effects on QTc were observed [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
Cimetidine (400 mg twice daily) increased the mean Cmax and AUC of orally administered azelastine hydrochloride (4 mg twice daily) by approximately 65% [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
In clinical trials, the occurrence of somnolence has been reported in some patients taking ASTEPRO [see ADVERSE REACTIONS]. Patients should be cautioned against engaging in hazardous occupations requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination such as operating machinery or driving a motor vehicle after administration of ASTEPRO. Concurrent use of ASTEPRO with alcohol or other central nervous system depressants should be avoided because additional reductions in alertness and additional impairment of central nervous system performance may occur [see DRUG INTERACTIONS].
Somnolence has been reported in some patients taking ASTEPRO. Caution patients against engaging in hazardous occupations requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination such as driving or operating machinery after administration of ASTEPRO [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Avoid concurrent use of ASTEPRO with alcohol or other central nervous system depressants because additional reductions in alertness and additional impairment of central nervous system performance may occur [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Inform patients that the treatment with ASTEPRO may lead to adverse reactions, most common of which include pyrexia, dysgeusia, nasal discomfort, epistaxis, headache, sneezing, fatigue, somnolence, upper respiratory infection, cough, rhinalgia, vomiting, otitis media, contact dermatitis, and oropharyngeal pain. [see ADVERSE REACTIONS].
Instruct patients to prime the pump before initial use and when ASTEPRO has not been used for 3 or more days [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
In 2-year carcinogenicity studies in rats and mice, azelastine hydrochloride did not show evidence of carcinogenicity at oral doses up to 30 mg/kg and 25 mg/kg, respectively. These doses were approximately 150 and 60 times the maximum recommended human daily intranasal dose [MRHDID] on a mg/m² basis.
Reproduction and fertility studies in rats showed no effects on male or female fertility at oral doses up to 30 mg/kg (approximately 150 times the MRHDID in adults on a mg/m² basis). At 68.6 mg/kg (approximately 340 times the MRHDID on a mg/m² basis), the duration of estrous cycles was prolonged and copulatory activity and the number of pregnancies were decreased. The numbers of corpora lutea and implantations were decreased; however, pre-implantation loss was not increased.
There are no adequate and well-controlled clinical trials in pregnant women. Azelastine hydrochloride has been shown to cause developmental toxicity in mice, rats, and rabbits. ASTEPRO Nasal Spray should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
In mice, azelastine hydrochloride caused embryo-fetal death, malformations (cleft palate; short or absent tail; fused, absent or branched ribs), delayed ossification, and decreased fetal weight at approximately 170 times the maximum recommended human daily intranasal dose (MRHDID) in adults (on a mg/m² basis at a maternal oral dose of 68.6 mg/kg/day which also caused maternal toxicity as evidenced by decreased body weight). Neither fetal nor maternal effects occurred in mice at approximately 7 times the MRHDID in adults (on a mg/m² basis at a maternal oral dose of 3 mg/kg/day).
In rats, azelastine hydrochloride caused malformations (oligo-and brachydactylia), delayed ossification and skeletal variations, in the absence of maternal toxicity, at approximately 150 times the MRHDID in adults (on a mg/m² basis at a maternal oral dose of 30 mg/kg/day). Azelastine hydrochloride caused embryo-fetal death and decreased fetal weight and severe maternal toxicity at approximately 340 times the MRHDID (on a mg/m² basis at a maternal oral dose of 68.6 mg/kg/day). Neither fetal nor maternal effects occurred at approximately 15 times the MRHDID (on a mg/m² basis at a maternal oral dose of 2 mg/kg/day).
In rabbits, azelastine hydrochloride caused abortion, delayed ossification and decreased fetal weight and severe maternal toxicity at approximately 300 times the MRHDID in adults (on a mg/m² basis at a maternal oral dose of 30 mg/kg/day). Neither fetal nor maternal effects occurred at approximately 3 times the MRHDID (on a mg/m² basis at a maternal oral dose of 0.3 mg/kg/day).
It is not known whether azelastine hydrochloride is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when ASTEPRO is administered to a nursing woman.
The safety and effectiveness of ASTEPRO have been established for seasonal allergic rhinitis in pediatric patients 2 to 17 years of age and perennial allergic rhinitis in pediatric patients 6 months of age to 17 years of age [see Clinical Studies]. The safety and effectiveness of ASTEPRO in pediatric patients below 6 months of age have not been established.
Interaction studies investigating the cardiac repolarization effects of concomitantly administered oral azelastine hydrochloride and erythromycin or ketoconazole were conducted. Oral erythromycin had no effect on azelastine pharmacokinetics or QTc based on analysis of serial electrocardiograms. Ketoconazole interfered with the measurement of azelastine plasma levels; however, no effects on QTc were observed [see DRUG INTERACTIONS].
Based on intravenous and oral administration, the steady-state volume of distribution of azelastine is 14.5 L/kg. In vitro studies with human plasma indicate that the plasma protein binding of azelastine and its metabolite, desmethylazelastine, are approximately 88% and 97%, respectively.
Following oral administration, pharmacokinetic parameters were not influenced by hepatic impairment.
Based on oral, single-dose studies, renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance < 50 mL/min) resulted in a 70-75% higher Cmax and AUC compared to healthy subjects. Time to maximum concentration was unchanged.
Following oral administration, pharmacokinetic parameters were not influenced by age.
Following oral administration, pharmacokinetic parameters were not influenced by gender.
Co-administration of orally administered azelastine (4 mg twice daily) with erythromycin (500 mg three times daily for 7 days) resulted in Cmax of 5.36 ± 2.6 ng/mL and AUC of 49.7 ± 24 ng•h/mL for azelastine, whereas, administration of azelastine alone resulted in Cmax of 5.57 ± 2.7 ng/mL and AUC of 48.4 ± 24 ng•h/mL for azelastine [see DRUG INTERACTIONS].
In a multiple-dose, steady-state drug interaction trial in healthy subjects, cimetidine (400 mg twice daily) increased orally administered mean azelastine (4 mg twice daily) concentrations by approximately 65%. Co-administration of orally administered azelastine (4 mg twice daily) with ranitidine hydrochloride (150 mg twice daily) resulted in Cmax of 8.89 ±3.28 ng/mL and AUC of 88.22 ± 40.43 ng•h/mL for azelastine, whereas, administration of azelastine alone resulted in Cmax of 7.83 ± 4.06 ng/mL and AUC of 80.09 ± 43.55 ng•h/mL for azelastine [see DRUG INTERACTIONS].
Assessment of efficacy was based on the 12-hour reflective total nasal symptom score (rTNSS) assessed daily in the morning and evening, in addition to the instantaneous total nasal symptom score (iTNSS) and other supportive secondary efficacy variables. TNSS is calculated as the sum of the patients' scoring of the four individual nasal symptoms (rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, sneezing, and nasal itching) on a 0 to 3 categorical severity scale (0 = absent, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe). The rTNSS required patients to record symptom severity over the previous 12 hours. For the primary efficacy endpoint, the mean change from baseline rTNSS, morning (AM) and evening (PM) rTNSS scores were summed for each day (maximum score of 24) and then averaged over the 2 weeks. The iTNSS, recorded immediately prior to the next dose, were assessed as an indication of whether the effect was maintained over the dosing interval.
The efficacy and safety of ASTEPRO 0.15% in seasonal allergic rhinitis was evaluated in five randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials in 2499 adult and adolescent patients 12 years and older with symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis (Trials 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6). The population of the trials was 12 to 83 years of age (64% female, 36% male; 81% white, 12% black, < 2% Asian, 5% other; 23% Hispanic, 77% non-Hispanic). Assessment of efficacy was based on the rTNSS, iTNSS as described above, and other supportive secondary efficacy variables. The primary efficacy endpoint was the mean change from baseline in rTNSS over 2 weeks.

Hidden History: Queen of Tech
by: Sasha Loftis, Cristen Drummond
Posted: Feb 8, 2019 / 03:38 PM PST / Updated: Feb 8, 2019 / 06:34 PM PST
Denise Duana Malone has definitely earned bragging rights as the Queen of Tech.
Last year, she was voted "Technology Woman of the Year in Las vegas" by the National Center for Women and Information Tech.
She has more than 30 years of experience in the tech industry and has even started a local tech consulting company.
Malone started her journey in the field at just 7 years old with the help of a family mentor.
Over the decades, she's witnessed both technology and the roles of race and gender evolve to a completely different place from when she first started.
She's now using her journey to inspire younger generations to pursue careers in the tech industry.
Last month, she was the chairperson for an MLK jr. technology summit — the event highlighted the diversity of local technology fields.
The goal is to show kids that these opportunities all are within their reach.
"It's important to me that opportunities are expanded to this next generation and that there's room now in this field in this industry of technology for people that look like me both women, no matter what race, and African Americans," Duana Malone said.
Last year, Malone also helped launch Nevada Help Desk, an online service for anyone in the community who needs IT help.
Clearly, the Queen of Tech is staying busy.
She's already planning next year's MLK Jr. technology summit. She couldn't give away too many details but tells us she's got a lot of exciting projects in the works.
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) -- Clark County Fire and Rescue are working a 3-alarm fire near Fort Apache and Tropicana. At this time, there is no word on what caused the massive blaze, but a photo sent into the 8 News NOW newsroom shows flames so high it can be seen from the 215 highway. The video seen above was Tweeted to 8 News Now courtesy the @DennFam on Twitter.
Angela Winbush, whose Twitter handle is @AngelaWinbush7, also tweeted us video. She could see the flames from her apartment complex which was across the way.

Review title of TRe3B4RKGreat follow-up to the original!
I just started playing but I'm already enjoying it a lot. It's super simple to get into and it's reminiscent of Minecraft.
This is super addictive. Especially when I'm playing local multiplayer. I've already played through the game three times. All I really want now is another kefling game.
Great concept of a game but the gameplay could have been fleshed out.


Would you benefit from selling your own hand-made reeds to your students? How much should you charge? Is it worth it? There have been times in my teaching career where it has been a wonderfully convenient thing–and then other times when it has caused me way more stress than I bargained for. Learn from my mistakes and avoid your own!
When I was in college, I made a lot of reeds. Enough reeds that I always had extra to sell to students. I would make 10 at a time, keep the best ones for myself, and then sell the rest to my students. At first I felt a little bad about selling second-rate reeds to my students, but they were better than the reeds available at the music store, so I kept at it. Occasionally I would even sell them my good reeds–but only after I had played on them for a few weeks. I made good money this way, and none of my reeds went to waste.
Five years later I was still selling reeds to students, although it wasn't as convenient anymore. I wasn't making reeds regularly for myself, so I didn't have leftovers to sell. I would only make reeds for myself a couple of times per year. Because of this, I required my students to order reeds from me at least two weeks before they needed them. That way I could slap a few together if I didn't have a stockpile. I also moved to cane that required less finishing work. In college I used Rigotti and Jones. I then switched to cane from Bob Williams (Detroit Symphony). I made some money on the venture, but I'm not so sure that it was worth the hassle.
I also found that I was inadvertently giving my students my best reeds. Because I was cutting the tips during their lessons, I couldn't say, "Oh, this reed is too good. I'm not going to give it to you." Had I set aside time each week to work on reeds, I wouldn't have been nearly as frustrated (or sold all of my best reeds). But when you have a newborn and haven't slept in five months, reedmaking become less of a priority. Live and learn.
Now that I've added an adjunct university teaching job to my schedule, I no longer have the capacity to make reeds per student demand. I was barely making it work before, so I decided to drop that complication from my life. I warned my students a month in advance that I would no longer be selling reeds. Can you guess what happened? My reed orders shot through the roof! My students ordered far more reeds than they used to when I let them buy reeds as needed. Now I'm planning to sell reeds only in August and the first week of January. That way I can mass produce them, guarantee that my students have good reeds (but not my best ones), and still make a profit.
How Much Should Each Reed Cost?
So is selling reeds to students a good fit for you? I'd love to hear in the comments below.

Review of Movie "Baahubali – The Conclusion
The theatre was jam packed and everyone wanted to watch the movie without losing a single scene. Each one of the spiritual movie reviews in time and took the possession of their sets. I wish we were so punctual in our classes too! Children demanded their parents for the large pack of popcorn and soft drinks. How could I miss them? I wanted to do two things together-watch and munch! Thanks the movie began on time.
According to the Central Board of Film Certification, the name of the movie was "Baahubali-The Conclusion". It was in Telugu language. It was coloured one and was cinemascope. The date of release was April 24th, 2017 and under the Universal category (that is meant for both adults and children). However, it was clearly mentioned that the movie must be watched under parental guidance. The name of the applicant to sign was Shri Y.N. Sobhandari for M/s Arka Media Works Entertainment LLP, Hyderabad and other signee was Shri Pahlaj Nihalani, Chairperson, CBFC, Mumbai. The duration of the movie was for 167 minutes and 30 seconds.
Wow! I liked the titles of the movie for following reasons:
a. Computer graphics and dummies were used for various kinds of animals shown in the movie like horse, elephant, parrot, pig, oxen, birds, ducks, bison, boar, falcon, swan, etc.
b. The team thanked agencies, digital cinema, travel partners, currency exchange office in Hyderabad, health care partner, social media channels, accommodation partner,chocolate and confectionary partner, nutrition, mobile, communication, Reliance Fresh to get various goods, multiplex and Jewellery partner, location and experience partner, stationary, messaging partner "hi", agency partner,beauty partner to "Lux", fitness partner, Make a Wish Campaign, merchandizing and licensing through ICICI Bank, Simba, etc. , insurance providers, their bankers were IDBI and Kotak Bank, Hyderabad, their financers, media and radio partners, etc. They did not forget the contribution and participation of single person also. That's something to be appreciated for the success of the movie.
c. Very elaborative and distinctive background was shown in the titles. This is must for capturing the attention and focus of the audience. Kudos for their thinking powers.
d. The movie was a combination of both real shots and multimedia graphical frameworks. Thus, attention of the children was at its maximum level.
e. Titles were providing, associating and linking the connectivity between Baahubali Part 1 and Baahubali-The Conclusion. The short story of the part One of the movie was showcased in the Titles of the movie (one must have perceived the audience in the theatre-I perceived that all of them were dumbstruck and not even a single person was blinking their eyes-I thought movies indeed play a major role in learning and educating ourselves, and there is no need to work hard with the individuals. This will do wonders in the classes of Law, Literature, History, Sociology and Journalism and Mass Media. ).
The movie was presented by K. Raghavendra Rao, production of an Arka Mediaworks and creative film by S. S. Rajamouli. The lyrics and dialogues were written by Manoj Muntashir. The music was by M. M. Keeravani. The cinematography by K. K. Senthil Kumar. Vivid colored sketches were introduced at the beginning of the movie with the song at the background. The producers of the movie were Shobu Yarlagadda and Prasad Devineni. The screenplay and Direction was by S. S. Raja Mouli. The main star cast was Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Sathyaraj, Ramya Krishna, Nassar and Tamannaah. It was distributed by Arka Media Works for Telugu version, K. Productions for Tamil version, Global United Media for Malayalam version and Dharma Productions for Hindi version. It was released in 4K high Definition format.
Once the titles are over, the story begins for us. Our hero-Amarendra Baahubali– achieves his victory in the battlefield. The Queen Mother is proud of this achievement and declares that he will be crowned as the future king of Maahishmati. Her words turned out to be the festival moments for the people in the kingdom. However, her own and real son Bhallaladeva and husband are against her wishes. Her husband starts instigating Bhallaladeva against her. This is the turning point in the movie.

Replacing a Knitting Machine Table Top


We are writing in reference to the proposed changes in house-based security guards. As a couple, we have been Mather House resident tutors for the past three years, and will be continuing our involvement at Mather over the coming years as non-resident tutors.
We recognize that periodic reviews of university systems are valuable and important. However, the implementation of any changes in our system will undoubtedly affect the tenure of our house security guard, William Duarte, in a way that might deprive our house of one of its most valuable assets. The review of the house-based security systems cannot be divorced from this impact, and we urge you to strongly consider the individual contributions and value to our community in retaining William Duarte in his current role.
Billy, as he his known to the house staff and students, is deeply committed to his job and does it incredibly well. His primary strengths in his job performance are in prevention and in the maintenance of a healthy, respectful community. Billy knows possibly all four-hundred or so students by name. He walks through the hallways often, to monitor the environment and communicate his expectations to the students, He is especially helpful in keeping the house rules enforced during parties. This effort is in collaboration with the house tutors at Mather, and Billy is serious and helpful during these times. His role in preventing a situation from escalating may be difficult to appreciate by outsiders, since his success is measured in a non-event. However, these successes are frequent and are appreciated by all who live in the house and understand the contribution that he makes. His preventative role is enabled by his well-established connections with the student body and the house staff.
In addition, Billy's deep commitment to his job at Mather has tangible outcomes. While his official working hours end at 12:30am, Billy always stays till at least 1am if there is a party that a tutor might need help in shutting down. Billy's assistance in enforcing this difficult rule affects both the house community and our surrounding neighborhood. There is a noticeable difference between the nights that Billy works and the nights that a substitute is present, in both the after-hours commitment and in the level of involvement. Billy is effective, he is dedicated, and he contributes enormously to the positive environment of the house.
Billy's work for Mather House is incredibly valuable, and we hope we have communicated a fraction of its importance. Any changes, systemic or otherwise, that would result in a change of Billy's presence in our community, should be avoided furiously. We know that you are part of a review and hope that you will consider what is best for our community. Please contact us if you have any questions or would like to discuss this further. Thank you very much.

– Zac and Taylor's Amazing Chemistry
Yet another Nicholas Sparks adaptation starring a hunky guy.
Zac Effron, Taylor Schilling, Blythe Danner,
The Nutshell
Zac Effron comes home from war determined to find the woman he believes to be his lucky charm. The two begin to fall in love, but are given trouble by her ex-husband who wants custody of his son.
Wait….what do you mean I have no emotion?
Lets get this out of the way: I enjoyed The Notebook. Sure, it was a paint-by-numbers drama that was marketed as every woman's fantasy, but it was carried by some truly great performances from its leads and an above average script for that sort of thing. Not having any experience with any other Nicholas Sparks adaptations, I went into The Lucky One with reasonably high expectations. Boy, was I let down.
The Lucky One stars Zac Effron as Logan, a marine who has reached the end of his three full terms in Iraq. After surviving a number of near-death experiences, Logan comes home in search of Beth, played by Taylor Schilling, whom he believes was his lucky charm during the war due to a picture he found on a battlefield. Of course, Beth isn't hard to find, and after a few scenes Logan and Beth are working together at a dog kennel owned by her mother, played by Blythe Danner. Romance blossoms as it tends to do in these kinds of movies, and Logan even wins over Beth's shy musician son, Ben. Of course, Beth has an asshole of an ex-husband, who also happens to be a cop, making life difficult for Logan every chance he gets.
If all of that sounds awfully familiar, that's because it is. The Lucky One doesn't have an original frame in its running time, relying on the usual dramedy beats to draw the audience in. While this may sound like a knock against the film, I can't fault it for knowing its target audience and aiming right for them. What I can fault it for, however, is doing so in such a lackluster fashion.
Yep. This is his angry face.
The Notebook was successful mostly because Ryan Gosling knows how to carry a movie. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Zac Effron. The man has one facial expression for the majority of the film and has no idea how to convey any sort of emotion without simply telling the audience how he feels. In fact, this is the main problem throughout. I was once told that cinema should be about "show, not tell", and I agree 100%. The Lucky Ones doesn't seem to understand that, as almost every plot point and emotional beat is explained to the audience through overlong scenes of exposition and dialogue. Why tell me that Ben is shy about playing his violin? Why not simply show him practicing and then suddenly put everything away when someone enters the room? It'd be a much more effective way of getting the point across, and it wouldn't make the film seem dumbed down for its audience.
The rest of the cast fares a bit better than Effron, although they really aren't given much to do. A lot of The Lucky One consists of supporting characters either talking about or crying over the same emotional beats over and over again until Effron shows up again to make it all better. It's clear that the filmmakers really wanted to bank on Effrons marketability, but its unfortunate that almost everyone else in the film is exponentially more talented than he is. In fact, the only supporting actor who truly shines is Blythe Danner. She's given the only scenes in the film that are worth watching, and most of these are due to her delivery and charisma rather than anything actually going on in the film.
"Why are we working on this?" "Paycheck, mostly…"
The film was directed by Scott Hicks, and for the most part all of the proceedings are fairly competent. The majority of the movie is filmed much like a soap opera, which suits this sort of thing. However, the movie is book ended by a pair of action scenes, one in Iraq and one over a roaring river as a bridge begins to collapse. Both of these are filmed so chaotically that I could barely tell what was going on most of the time. Hicks seems to think that shaky cam and blur effects are an effective way to show "action", when in reality they just frustrate the audience, especially when the rest of the film is so calm. These scenes end up feeling out of place rather than thrilling.
It is possible to effectively convey a Nicholas Sparks novel on the big screen. Sure, it'll still pander to a very specific audience, but that doesn't necessarily make it a "bad film". However, The Lucky One is not one of these effective translations, as it relies entirely on the attractiveness of its lead to keep people in their seats. A few good performances aren't enough to recommend this one to anyone but the most diehard fans of the book. Everyone else, save yourself some time.
The film looks fine on blu-ray, with a clean transfer that almost seems too good for a film like this. It'll look nice on a high def setup, but nothing happens in the film that you'll want to show off to your friends.
The only extra is a short fluff piece about the chemistry between Effron and Schilling. Apparently, the two got along amazingly well on and off camera, making the movie a joy to be a part of. It's too bad none of that came across in the final product, huh?

Spotted, Car Wash Boy Alert!
When you first see his half naked photos, one cannot help but immediately wonder, who is this young man?
He seems oblivious of the fact that his body attracts attention. It can be best described as lean and mean, with a torso adorned with proud man nipples, and when you scrutinize the body in display, he has a happy trail, that ooohlala set of hair growth below the belly button!
He is hot! Definitely, any one who gets to see his three set of photos for posterity, feels his man meat heat!
What is more striking, is the expression on his face, he is committed to do the tasks, of cleaning and taking good care of an automobile.

Aljune Atok suffers from visual impairment, having completely lost sight in his left eye. Despite his condition, the 26-year-old has found work at BAVI and has been a junior programmer in the information systems department for nearly a year.

Andy Samberg's Latest Movie Just Set a Major Sundance Record
Previous track button Next track button
Today's Devotional: Deeper Than Words Called
by RELEVANT
Andy Samberg's post-SNL career has been marked by his beloved role on Brooklyn Nine-Nine and a collection of perfectly offbeat comedies like Hot Rod and Popstar: Never Stop Stopping that he's churned out with the help of his Lonely Island pals. And now, it looks like he's hit paydirt.
Palm Springs, which Samberg produced along with his pals Akiva Schaffer, Jorma Taccone and Becky Sloviter, premiered at Sundance Film Festival and was quickly purchased by Hulu and indie film distributor NEON for a record $17,500,000.69 — beating the previous record set by Amazon's purchase of Late Night by just 69 cents.
"We spent over $85 million of our own money on this movie, WE ARE TAKING A BATH on this deal," Samberg, Taccone, Schaffer and Sloviter said in a statement. "We hope Neon and Hulu are happy but we definitely have a lot of explaining to do to our families." (They're kidding. The film was financed by Limelight Entertainment.)
Cast and crew are keeping the Palm Springs plot under wraps. All we know is that it's a "bonkers" re-imagining of a rom-com trope that features some sort of "metaphysical event" and Samberg said he took inspiration from the much-maligned Star Wars prequels.
Director Max Barbakow played coy in his interview with Variety. "We're subverting a lot of the tropes you usually see in wedding movies and rom-coms," Barbakow said. "Tonally, it's that really nice charged area between laughter and deep feeling and then just bonkers stuff. We're trying a lot of things."
No official word on when we'll be able to catch this one for ourselves yet but everything about it suggests it'll be a good time when we do. Stay tuned.

Am dram star of the week is Liam Hewitt, who's playing The Artful Dodger in Starstruck Theatre Company's production of Oliver! in Sedgley
By Alison Norton | What's On | Published: Dec 7, 2018
Our star this week is 13-year-old Liam Hewitt, a pupil at Summerhill School in Kingswinford. He's all set to play the role of Jack Dawkins, better known as The Artful Dodger, in Starstruck Theatre Company's production of Oliver! at the Mill Theatre in Sedgley from May 22-25, 2019.
Am dram star of the week is Liam Hewitt
Although Liam is a young performer, he has already appeared on the West End, having completed no less than 78 performances in School of Rock.
"Being on a West End stage was the best feeling in my life and I worked so hard to get the role," he says.
"I love performing because I am able to inspire so many young people to tell their mums and dads that they want to be that boy or girl on stage and they want to try out for that show."
His role as The Artful Dodger is one that Liam has longed to play. "Dodger is such a contrast to other parts I've played so that makes his character very special. He is a young boy who leads a gang of criminals and he is quite clever and sneaky. Much like myself, he is also very cheeky, but he knows how to treat a lady!" Liam laughs.
I ask Liam how he builds a character.
"For most of my roles, I will go by my knowledge of the character but I also like to make it my own. No one will ever be 'the Dodger' but they will have an interpretation of him."
"I start with the basics just so that I can get a feel for who the character is. Obviously Dodger's facial expressions, posture and accent make up who he is, so every note I am given in rehearsal, I write down because it really adds detail."
Although The Artful Dodger is an iconic role, Liam does has a favourite that he has played to date.
"It is Billy, the Stylish in School of Rock," he says. "He is so sassy, funny and fabulous and he will always be so close to my heart."
He adds: "My dream role has to be Damian in Mean Girls, or Arthur Kipps in The Woman in Black. Quite contrasting characters.
"The roles as completely different, but that is why they appeal to me so much," says Liam.
I wonder if Liam intends to carry on performing and make it a career.
"There is no way I would give up performing because I love it so much," he says. "I'm really going to try hard to be a professional actor – now that I've started, I won't ever stop."
What confidence and positivity from such a young performer. All the best Liam!
