Liposuction is a popular procedure that has helped both men and women of various ages achieve the body contour results they desire by permanently removing stubborn pockets of fat. Many of us have an area of our body that is less responsive to our diet and exercise efforts than the rest of our body. Some people struggle with the mid-section, others the thighs or the arms, some the back or buttocks, and others the neck–Liposuction, thankfully, works on virtually any area of the body.
Ideal candidates for Liposuction are in good mental and physical health with realistic expectations for the procedure. Candidates for liposuction should, ideally, have firm, elastic skin that will adjust accordingly to the loss of stubborn fat in the specified area. It should be understood that liposuction is not a weight loss solution, but rather a way to target unresponsive fat in a specific area. If you are interested in learning more about the liposuction procedure and recovery process, and to find out if you may be a good candidate for this procedure, contact our office to schedule your consultation with Dr. Doolabh today.

The Indigo shibori workshop that I participated in during early July was a continuation of my exploration of dyeing techniques. I had already tried a few Natural Dye pots, and also, some Eco-printing.
Attempting an Indigo vat, without some guidance was quite intimidating. Therefore, I enrolled in a 5 day workshop at the Haliburton School of Art, with Harriet Boon.
My friends' place, where I was staying for the week was a half hour drive to the school. Each morning was a treat, driving on windy roads, past many small lakes, before reaching the small town of Haliburton. One morning I came upon a young black bear, who was retreating into the woods.
At the workshop, there were only 11 students. Everyone had some kind of artistic background in various techniques. We were also of varying ages and came from different areas of Ontario. As a result, our level of production was extensive and our interest in Indigo shibori dyeing was earnest.
Initially, we split into 3 groups, to experiment with a few natural dyes: tea, coffee and walnut husks. Both the tea and coffee results came out as a warm, though faint brown colour.
The walnut husk dye turned the fabric a rich olive green; however with time this has become a caramel brown colour.
Rust dyeing was our next experiment. This involved placing various rusty objects such as nails, steel grommets, old farm implements etc onto cotton and silk fabric. They were sprayed with vinegar and wrapped in cellophane. These bundles were left for 24 hours.
On some of the samples, distinct imprints of the various objects could be seen, in various ranges of sepia tones. Interesting. But, as a group, we agreed that this was not our cup of tea.
In the afternoon, we made our Indigo vats. We paired up to make the vats. The smell, the colour, the indigo bloom- our excitement was noticeable! We carefully skimmed off the bloom, trying to not stir the vat too much. Our first attempts with Indigo shibori were with simply tied fabrics of our choosing. I used a white, nicely textured cotton fabric. I used this fiber for many of my indigo experiences at this workshop. It took the dye nicely and due to it's strength and texture, I knew it could be used to make various useful items. The next step was trying several clamping techniques, using geometric forms, that were made from wood and plastic.
Over the course of the week, we learned various stitching and shibori techniques including: clamping, pleating, arashi, nui, and kumo. Each technique yielded different results. I was drawn mostly to arashi, nui and kumo.
One day, Harriet brought in several large pieces of Japanese indigo shibori, to show us master works.
The colour was almost black and the shibori techniques, well they were meticulous! She told us that because many of the pieces had been dipped up to 100 times in the Indigo vat, such dark colours are achieved. Hours of painstaking work. But the results were exquisite.
The Haliburton School of Arts has 3 campuses, with our workshop taking place in an Elementary school. On the evening before the last course day, the classrooms and studios were opened to the public, for an Open House. We displayed some of our pieces on the walls of the classroom. The response from the people who came through was very positive, both in the quality of what we had produced and the amount of work done, in such a short period of time.
As a result of the success of this course, I am encouraged to continue learning more about indigo shibori and how to maintain an indigo vat.

Halo Sign for Pulmonary Aspergillosis – Not as Great as You Once Thought.
By apena17 in #FOAMID, Antifungals, Diagnostics on July 15, 2020 October 5, 2020
The timely diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is incredibly important. Non-invasive modalities of diagnosis such as beta-D glucan and galactomannan can take a few days to come back and much of the time, we rely on chest imaging to guide treatment decision. The classic finding that has been attributed to invasive pulmonary aspergillosis has been the halo sign, which is an area of consolidation surrounded by ground glass:
But how reliable is this sign? Is this enough to pull the trigger on empiric voriconazole or amphotericin B? Apart from signs and symptoms, if you were to see a halo-sign in a patient with hemoptysis, would that warrant empiric therapy? Here are the guidelines for invasive mould diagnosis. Keep in mind that definitive diagnosis is based on pathology showing angioinvasion to clinch the diagnosis:
This is where we find ourselves most of the time, in the probable diagnosis. This means we will not get a biopsy but rather other methods to diagnose IFI, such as BD glucan, galactomannan, bronch, etc. Keep in mind that in order to apply this criteria, you need to have some sort of host factors:
Looking at the Host Factors, one thing warrants attention: most of the risk centers around the lack of neutrophils in relationship to malignancy. Even the data on steroid was based on its usage in leukemia patients (1). Having said that, it does not mean that other immunosuppressive states (ie the use of steroids for rheumatological disorders, AIDS, other types of immunomodulators) do not confer risk for invasive aspergillosis, but rather if you encounter a neutropenic patients on steroids with something going on in the lungs, that is an invasive mold until proven otherwise. Now on to the halo sign:
One of the first papers on the topic was on the description of CT findings in patients with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (11). They looked at the CT chest findings of 9 patients with acute leukemia. Of these, only 2 had the classic "halo" sign:
They note the halo sign preceded the development of typical cavitation or air crescent by at least 2-3 weeks and typically the progression went from "halo" to cavitation. A small number of patients, but the takeaway was that invasive pulmonary aspergillosis could look like anything.
A review from 2007 (2) evaluated chest CT findings in a large series of patients with IPA from the Global Comparative Aspergillosis study. In this study, halo sign in allo-HSCT or heme patient with recent neutropenia was automatically considered probable IPA (see above). The goal of this study was to assess response to treatment and survival at 12 weeks. Of 235 patients, 86% of them had some sort of heme suppressive conditions, either leukemia or allogeneic HSCT. 14% had other conditions such as high dose steroids in 12, HIV in 11, SOT in 8, and solid tumor in 1. Most patients in this group had a micronodule, including those with the halo sign:
But a good percentage also had a consolidation, cavities, and air bronchograms. They assessed the response to treatment at 12 weeks in patients with halo sign and those without. At 12 weeks, 52% of patients with the halo sign had a satisfactory global response rate compared to 29% and this also translated to survival:
Indeed, seems that those patients with the halo sign had better outcomes and responded better to treatment overall:
The authors do not mention the timing of therapy, which may play a role in terms of treatment response (i.e. those with halo sign were recognized as having IPA and thus started on therapy much sooner than other patients).
In a 2019 paper evaluating data from a major RCT comparing voriconazole with and without analdafungin for IPA treatment (3), a post-hoc analysis was done to evaluate the association between lesions and other findings on baseline CT and eventual diagnosis if IPA. While they go into details about the mortality differences between confirmed IPA and non-confirmed IPA, I want to focus on the CT findings. 395 patients were included and of these, 240 (60.8%) were classified as having confirmed IPA, the rest (155 or 39.2%) were non-confirmed. All patients had hematological malignancies.
The percentage of patients with the halo sign in confirmed IPA was only 17.5% VS 52.5% for nodules.
In those that are not immunosuppressed, the halo sign tends to fare worse in terms of sensitivity. In a multicenter observational study evaluating a clinical algorithm in the ICU setting for invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (4) patients with proven invasive pulmonary aspergillosis by biopsy were more likely to have non-specific infiltrates or consolidation than halo sign. Indeed, in this study, one patient with colonization actually had a halo sign on their CT:
Further data comes from an even older study from 1999 (5). This retrospective review evaluated chest CT of 305 patients with proven pulmonary disease. 16 of these patients were immunocompromised. 22 of these patients had a halo sign (7%), of which broncheoalveolar carcinoma made up 5 patients, tuberculoma 2, myxovirus, SCC, non-Hodgkin B cell lymphoma, and metastatic RCC made up one a piece. Those with multiple nodules were found to have KS and Wegners. Only one patient with a halo sign had invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, who also had leukemia. This suggest the lack of sensitivity overall for the halo sign in cases of IPA, and this drops for those without "classic" risk factors.
The most comprehensive study on the topic comes from Brazil (6). This was a multicenter retrospective study of CT chest images of 85 patients presenting to 7 tertiary centers with the goal of determining the diagnostic value of the CT halo sign in immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients (AIDS, congenital immunodeficiency, recent chemotherapy, radiation, neutropenia). In the immunocompetent group with the halo sign, the most common diagnosis was primary neoplasm, this contrasts with the immunocompromised, where aspergillosis was more common:
How much immunosuppression is enough?
This is a difficult question. Some immunosuppressed states, such as liquid malignancies and post-HSCT are easy enough. One of the key questions is regarding steroids. Most of the data re: steroids comes from the stem cell transplant and leukemia population (7). For instance, one study (8) in those patients with recent allogeneic HSCT patients found that higher doses of steroids was associated with higher incidence of invasive mold infections (with doses of 0.1-1.9mg/kg/d having a HR 2.2 (95% CI 1.3-3.8) and doses >3mg/kg/d having a HR 4.9 (95% CI 2.3-10.6). Another study found that use of steroid for GVHD prophylaxis had an OR 2.1 (95% CI 1.1-4.1) for invasive IFI (9). Further studies (10) have found a similar trend:
Most of the cases of steroids involved in IFI without underlying malignancy tend to be seen in case series. This does not mean they do not confer a risk, but probably not as much of a risk as some may think.
Halo sign may not be as sensitive for invasive fungal infection, in general
In immunosuppressed patients, literally anything else can look like an invasive fungal infection (consolidations, nodules, etc). If the patient has the right risk factors (i.e. prolonged neutropenia in setting of recent chemo), and you find ANYTHING on CT = treat for invasive mold until proven otherwise
In those who do not have the classic risk factors and have a halo sign on CT, further diagnostics are needed. In this case, do not treat for a mold, even if you isolate it from a trach aspirate of sputum culture. Chances are, in that clinical scenario, the mold is a colonizer of the airway.
Steroids are a tricky thing. Most of the data tends to be on hematology patients. But if there is other risk factors (i.e. prolonged steroid usage on a flu patient in the ICU), then that would be a situation to think hard about invasive mould.

The Trials and Tribulations of an Admin on Facebook
What the hell have I gotten myself into…..
On September 29, 2016 October 17, 2016 By VintageGlassGoddess
Little did I know, that being kicked out of a Facebook group would affect me the way it did. I joined a vintage glass group for fun and to learn about the glass my Mother left me and to find like minded people who shared in my interest. I was devastated that this little group, that started as a Yahoo group, but moved to Facebook after the Mod there frowned on fraternization of members, removed me. As it was in the Yahoo group, the Head Admin constantly admonished us for posting emoticons when someone posted something pretty, wishing someone a Happy Birthday, or anything that would show we were humans behind our computer screens. That is, unless you were knowledgeable about vintage glass, or donated to her " database", which she shamelessly promoted donations for constantly. One woman, was constantly rude to people, making them feel stupid for not knowing the maker or pattern name, because, in her opinion, its easy, and you should just google it. Then she would PM members looking for an ID, and say they could buy her book and she will ID the piece for free, or it would be $8 and you can pay pal her the money and then she will tell you. Not the spirit of the group I had joined . Well, I am not a wallflower, and I would constantly call this woman out on her rudeness. The Head Admin told me that since this woman is in her 90's and wrote a book on early glass and is full of knowledge we are to ignore her rude behavior and ignorance. Really? I told her I couldn't promise that, and I didn't. I was removed…on my birthday. Thanks.
I actually shed real tears about it, ashamed that I was, because this was an online Facebook group, not my family, not my best friend, just a bunch of strangers. But was it? That is when the messages started coming. People that I had befriended from that group, outraged at what happened. They did not know I had started my own secret group, with only two members, me and someone I came very close to from the original group, Karen Aistars. I made it because I knew, that eventually I would be removed for standing up to the bully. After I realized that others too, were disgusted by what was going on in that group, I decided to make my group public, so others could join.
At first, Karen and I added our friends and family . Once the word was out, we had and still have 100 potential members knocking at the door at all times. This is the backstory about how my little glass group, Vintage Glass Identification, affectionately known as VGI, came to be. Just a place where we can ID your vintage glass your Grandma left you, your latest thrift find, without judgement. Not all people that collect vintage glass are douche bags.
No….it is NOT Fenton…..
2 thoughts on "What the hell have I gotten myself into….."
Thank you for sharing the backstory to the birth of VGI ~~~ I am so very grateful to you, Karen, and all of the other admins and members in this group that make it "THE" glass group to be a member of. The knowledge within the group is incredible and I, for one, have made some wonderful friendships and shared a few late night laughs…THANK YOU!!!


Taking photographs of nature can be an incredibly rewarding experience. During the year the change in seasons provides you with wonderful photo opportunities to capture the variety of nature subjects on offer. Here are some tips for capturing nature across the different seasons.
You may have a favorite location that you like to visit. For example, it could be a local woodland, a landscape or a place of interest you enjoy visiting during a holiday. When visiting there, you may find the scenery looks unique at different times of the year. The changing seasons mean the conditions may vary dramatically from one period to the next. Snowfall in winter makes way for spring flowers and lush green vegetation in the summer, which can have a significant effect on the look and feel of your image.
A blanket of snow or frost transforms the landscape, giving the most mundane subjects, such as your favorite tree, some magical appeal. While winter provides a striking and crisp scene, spring's greens and blues can give a more vibrant and colorful image. I recommend you return to your favorite place, observe the scene during a few different seasons and capture the seasonal changes.
One significant advantage of photographing nature during winter is that sunrise and sunset times are more favorable than in summer. Many people prefer to spend the colder months of the winter season indoors. However, this is a great time to head outdoors while the days are shorter and timings are better than the rest of the year. Later sunrises allow you more sleeping time, and earlier sunsets mean you do not have to wait around for hours to capture it.
Autumn is a magical season to be out with the camera and is the favored time of year for many landscape photographers. The season brings a fantastic variety of warm and vivid colors. You can capture a variety of subjects during the fall from woodlands to foliage and wildlife.
Consider the light and decide what you want to capture. You could zoom in on the leaves, or find a striking scene that is well lit. You can also shoot into the sun and work with backlight to create a dynamic image.
Dramatic lighting and changes in weather occur at any time of the year. Striking storm clouds replace sunny spells in an instant providing fantastic subjects for your nature photography. I find that during the summer months, storms can be very dramatic and give great moments of fleeting light. Passing rains can give way to radiant glows and if you are lucky – beautiful rainbows. I captured this scene in June while out walking. The change in light that occurred as the sun re-emerged after a considerable downpour was wonderfully atmospheric.
I recommend capturing the change in light during autumn and winter seasons too, as the sun stays lower in the sky compared to the summer. Thus, providing longer shadows with which to play. The height of the sun can make an image look very different in the winter compared to the summer. In winter the sun strikes the scene from a lower angle making the overall composition and lighting unique.
Come rain or shine you should go out with your camera to capture the various seasons during all weather conditions. Don't be discouraged from venturing out with your camera if it's raining outside or the skies are grey and leaden. There may be breaks in the weather, and the rain eventually stops. Mist can often form after periods of rain making an attractive scene to photograph.
If the rain is persistent, think of other ways to photograph the adverse weather. Photographing abstract scenes, water droplets, and close-ups of flowers or fresh water on lush landscapes can work. Waterfalls look good with overcast skies, and additional rainfall adds beauty with more water.
In summary, capturing nature in different seasons can be very enjoyable at any time of the year. Photograph your favorite place in changing seasons, take advantage of early winter sunsets and capture the changing light in all weathers.
Whatever Mother Nature serves you next, get out there and capture the fantastic changes in our beautiful world in all its seasons. Once you do, please share your images with us below.


The dangers of Adderall, methamphetamine, and amphetamine abuse are roughly the same because all three of those drugs are chemically identical to one another. Aside from their chemical makeup, these powerful stimulants also share some of the same side effects, making them equally dangerous to get addicted to. If you want to know more about what these dangers are, keep on reading. You really shouldn't believe that somehow Adderall or amphetamine is safer than meth just because it can be prescribed to you while the latter remains an illicit drug. It does not work that way.
More and more people from the U.S., the U.K., and all the way to Australia are giving rehab centers like Lanna Rehab at Chiang Mai, Thailand a shot when it comes to the treatment of amphetamine and meth addiction. Whether you've become dependent on the prescription drug Adderall or have graduated to becoming a full-blown meth addict, you can count on Lanna to help you out from detoxification to psychotherapy and even up until aftercare against relapse. Furthermore, always remember that just because a substance is legal it doesn't mean it's automatically safe. It also doesn't mean it's not addictive, especially if you're abusing it.
Adderall, a brand of amphetamine, is not so different from methamphetamine. All over the world, there's a growing scourge when it comes to meth addiction. In particular, Hong Kong and Australia are presently being devastated by rising meth abuse rates in their population. Furthermore, there are high numbers of citizens from either country seeking amphetamine addiction treatment for good measure.
Not to mention, there's also the meth problem from the 1980s onwards in the United States of America persists to this day. To be more specific, during the Eighties, drug treatment counselors saw an increase of methamphetamine abuse among American homosexuals. What's more, Mexican drug lords started bringing meth north of the border and introduced a form of meth that could be smoked. At present, the U.S. has about 595,000 or more than half a million meth users.
This is a persistent and dangerous trend that should be addressed post-haste. Meth is still taking the world by storm and its prescription equivalent isn't helping matters any.
Although amphetamines, particularly Adderall, are prescribed for clinical use, that doesn't somehow make you immune to abusing them to the point of dependency. Due to the fact that they're close siblings or cousins to meth, their addiction and abuse potential is quite high. Even when you're using them normally or legitimately, there's still a great risk that you can become addicted to them.
Your body builds up drug tolerance, leading to amphetamine desensitization.
You need to consume increasingly large amounts of amphetamine in order to get the same benefits as before over time, leading you to "chase the high".
Some amphetamine users seek even more powerful highs by snorting, injecting, or crushing amphetamines for alternate consumption. This way, the same amount of amphetamines can produce stronger, more potent effects because they're absorbed more rapidly than before. By changing the way you consume amphetamine or changing its doses, you risk overdosing. At the very least, you can end up severely dependent on the drug, as consuming it becomes your new normal.
This way, people from continents like North America, South America, Africa, Europe, and Australia as well as the neighboring countries in Asia (perhaps not all the way to Antarctica though) can avail of the clinic's holistic and dual diagnosis treatment paradigm at affordable prices even when you take into consideration travel costs. After reading this article, your understanding of these drugs should widen enough so that you can make the distinction between amphetamines and its most popular prescription form Adderall as well as methamphetamines and its most popular street drug form, crystal meth or ice.
Those seeking the abovementioned effects or so-called benefits might end up taking Adderall or similar amphetamines at increasingly larger dosages than prescribed by their doctors. They can even abuse them recreationally by taking them through other means, like direct injection or snorting. Alas, the effects of amphetamines aren't necessarily positive. Truth be told, they come with several negative side effects for good measure.
This isn't a comprehensive side effects list, mind you. Nevertheless, they're the more common side effects linked to amphetamines. Adderall isn't necessarily just a type of or a branded version of amphetamine though. Rather, one of its key ingredients is amphetamine. This is the same deal with methamphetamine. This is why all three of the substances share the abovementioned side effects in varying degrees or levels.
If you have cardiovascular issues then amphetamine or Adderall side effects like irregular heartbeat, increased heart rate, and high blood pressure can lead to dangerous cardiovascular events that can become quite fatal to you when push comes to shove. Consult your doctor while taking this consideration into account before getting an Adderall prescription.
It's also not recommended for you to mix alcohol with amphetamines. It's like mixing meth with alcohol. It's a bad idea all around. Both of these combinations affect your central nervous system in conflicting ways. Amphetamines are stimulants while alcohol acts as a depressant on a number of body processes. Your body will suffer a tug of war of sorts from the net result of side effects, leading to dire conditions such as fatal cardiac arrhythmias.
The long-term effects and complications of amphetamines can be quite severe and cause a medical emergency. If someone you know is exhibiting the signs and symptoms on the abovementioned lists, get emergency help right away.
In 1934, amphetamines were first introduced in the market for medical use as a decongestant. This is the reason why meth cooks or chemists use decongestants like Sudafed through the "shake and bake" method in order to produce meth in their meth labs. This method is a process that's been simplified for straightforward meth cooking and it's also partly responsible for the illicit drug's worldwide availability.
Obesity, Narcolepsy, ADD, and ADHD: Through the years, as scientists began to understand amphetamine more, they began prescribing the medication for the treatment of other conditions such as obesity and narcolepsy. The drug can also be classified as a performance-enhancing drug due to its stimulant effects, which then led to its use for treatment of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Adderall and other medications for ADD/ADHD combine dextroamphetamine with amphetamine, both of which are siblings in the same stimulant family.
Athletes, Students, and Night-Shift Workers: Together, dextroamphetamine and amphetamine create a mental state that's more conducive to increase performance and concentration for those who have supreme or above-average issues when it comes to focusing on tasks or goals. However, only a small percentage of overall Adderall users actually have ADD or ADHD. The vast majority of users don't even have prescriptions in the first place. These are night-shift workers, students, and athletes using unprescribed Adderall to give them an extra edge on their work.
The Benefits of The Supposed Smart Drug: Why do so many people use Adderall for unprescribed or even recreational purposes? It's the same reason why people use meth. Adderall is simply quite effectiveness in boosting one's focus, whether it's in athletics, late-night work, or cramming for tests. This is why Adderall is classified along with other smart drugs used by students and the like to perform better for their schoolwork. Of course, if they knew they were practically taking another type of meth in order to do better scholastically, they'd probably have reservations. It's quite dangerous and habit-forming, after all.
Simply put, methamphetamine, also known as meth, crystal meth, glass or ice, speed, chalk, crack (not to be confused with crack cocaine), or even biker's coffee, is a more intense and illicit version of Adderall. Meth and Adderall look quite similar to one another chemically speaking. Truth be told, Adderall and meth are almost identical in every way, with meth having a simple methyl group linked to its form. They might also differ significantly in terms of the speed form of meth, which is the meth that backyard chemists cook using ordinary household items. This is because speed varies in terms of purity and potency because of its amateurish origins.
Small Difference Means Significant Difference: Although meth has a small chemical difference compared to Adderall or other amphetamines, it's still significant enough in terms of potency and overall effects. To be more specific, meth is infamous for the speed and intensity by which it interacts with the human brain compared to its prescription sibling or cousin Adderall. It's also different in the way society perceives it since it's an illegal drug and possession of it is punishable by law.
Rapid Bloodstream Brain Barrier Crossover: Meth is able to cross the blood brain barrier in a rapid manner, which then results in a much more potent and immediate stimulating high compared to its legal counterpart Adderall. The speed that ice hits your brain is also why it's considered more dangerous and addictive. At least with Adderall it takes longer for the hit to arrive and the stimulation isn't as overwhelming as taking a hit off of crystal meth.
Meth Addiction Is Stigmatized: Being addicted to meth is more stigmatized or even demonized than being addicted to Adderall for several reasons, chief of them meth's reputation as an illicit drug. Also, crystal meth has more intense side effects than Adderall even though they share the same side effects. This is why currently meth has no sanctioned medical use. As far as the meth versus Adderall or methamphetamine versus amphetamine debate is concerned, the consequences to your reputation are more severe when you get addicted to meth compared to amphetamines like Adderall.
Prescription Drug Addiction Is Viewed as Less Severe: On top of being less severe overall in terms of effects, Adderall being a prescription drug has less of a stigma in the eyes of society when compared to its much maligned and illegal counterpart, meth. Although this is also problematic because the fact that amphetamine is attainable via prescription means people think it's safer than the dirty and risky drug known as methamphetamine. Yes, Adderall is slightly safer but also very dangerous in its own right. You shouldn't underestimate its addictiveness in light of its chemical closeness to meth.
Approved for Children versus Public Hysteria: Meth addicts are depicted in media as depraved, desperate, and in dire straits. This is because it's a drug that constantly causes hysteria due to "Before and After" meth user photo comparisons, documentaries about it becoming a growing epidemic all around the world, and videos of meth psychosis. Meanwhile, Adderall isn't viewed as dangerous as meth even though they're chemically close because it's approved for use in children as young as 3 years of age. They're actually both dangerous and addictive.
The Reality of the Situation about These Stimulants: In reality, although meth is more potent than Adderall, the risk and potential for addiction by either is about the same and Adderall can even serve as your gateway drug towards becoming a "meth head". In another point of view, meth and Adderall are about the same in terms of safeness. It's possible for someone to try meth in their lifetime and not turn into an addict the same way regulated use of Adderall won't result in addiction more often than not. Abusing either drug increases your risk for addiction, especially if you're genetically inclined to become addicted to drugs in the first place.
There are several distinctions between crystal meth or ice and Adderall, but the fact remains that they can both lead to addiction in one way or another. Just because Adderall is less potent than meth doesn't mean you can forget about the fact that it's practically legalized meth in terms of chemical composition and the associated primary and side effects. Regardless, at Lanna Rehab in Chiang Mai, you'll be taken care of by a highly specialized and experienced staff that's certified to treat any number of addictions, including amphetamine dependence in all of its forms.

While this information is in good dictionaries, I have sometimes wanted a more convenient list of words used in Epic which start with the digamma. So I have brought together information from several sources here. The starting point for my list is pp.45-47 of Seymour's Introduction to the Language and Verse of Homer, with additional details from Monro's Homeric Grammar and Benner's Selections from Homer's Iliad.
The most obvious effect of the digamma is hiatus, but it's capable of introducing more exotic effects into the hexameter line. The missing digamma may make position (that is, close a preceding short-vowel syllable and make it scan long), and finally it may even be treated like one of the resonants (λ, μ, ν, ρ and ς) and be doubled, causing a preceding short vowel to scan long (ἀποεἰπών scanned u---), a remarkable effect for a consonant that may well have disappeared from Homer's own speech.
Historical linguists will perhaps be made queasy by my list below, since I have mixed words which originally started with *w- and those with *sw-. Nor have I included words starting with ῥ- since that almost always lengthens a preceding short vowel, regardless of whether it reflects original *wr- or not. Since my concern here is metrical, and in Homer the metrical outcome of these is the same, I haven't made any effort to separate the words by etymology. For this information you should consult the usual historical linguistics references.
ἕ οὗ οἷ (more often enclitic) 3rd.sg. pronoun him, etc.
ἑκάς far, and the many compounds, e.g. ἑκηβόλος, κτλ.
In later elegiac and choral poets the digamma — an artificial borrowing from Epic for many of them — can account for cases of hiatus, but it was not used to make position.

When South Shields rock band January Blue needed to sell out a local venue in 1992, they came up with some novel – and one rather frowned upon – means of advertising the gig.
Details of the group and the concert in question are told by drummer Iain Robertson in conversation with local film-maker and blogger Gary Wilkinson, who now shares the interview with Time Of Our Lives.
"This band had many incarnations," reveals Iain, "and it all started with me and vocalist Woody who were mainstays throughout January Blue, and later New Rising.
"We first played a gig together in April, 1992 at Cleadon Village Hall, with another band called Agadoo Factory.
"This gig featured the first song Woody ever wrote called Die Forever.
Back home in Shields, the boys had their minds set on playing a particular lucrative gig in town, but they needed to fill the venue in order to get paid.
"We'd heard that Pete Edmonds, the manager of Porters Bar in South Shields, would pay £300 a gig if you managed to pack the place out," Iain explains.
"So we hit every bin in King Street with a flyer and our piece de resistance was at 6.30am, hanging a bed sheet on both sides of Westoe Bridges to catch the rush-hour traffic coming in and going out of town.
"We got an ear full (and rightly so) for plastering one flyer on the backside of the war hero Kirkpatrick's donkey statue in King Street, which in hindsight was disrespectful, but hell – we had a gig to promote.
"Needless to say, Porters was full, we got our £300 quid and Pete Edmonds was bouncing around, grinning like a Cheshire Cat.
What are your memories of January Blue and the music concerts staged at Porters Bar?
Over the years, South Tyneside has seen a great many bands and solo artists perform in pubs, clubs and outdoor venues, what are the most memorable gigs you went to?
Meanwhile, Dave Wray has been back in touch with a "potted history" of another South Shields group, KES.
He begins by listing the band members, who were: Dave Wray, vocals / guitar; Kev Townsend, lead guitar; Les West, bass and Dekka Scott, drums.
"Our set was covers of Bowie, Status Quo, Free, The Animals, Average White Band and Bachman Turner Overdrive.
"Later on the band moved on to become a group called Stardust, working for EMI Leisure and working as a resident night club band playing dance music.
"Kev moved on to play in a band touring Germany then returned to the circuit playing with his wife Lesley in a successful duo.
Dave makes mention of Status Quo.
Did you see them when they performed Status Quo played to a packed Temple Park Leisure Centre in 1993 as part of a UK tour?

The Las Vegas Stadium Authority will get its first look at the details of the financing of the 65,000-seat domed football stadium when it meets Thursday, a day after Clark County officials conduct a high-impact project hearing on the development.
The planned Las Vegas Raiders stadium will have 10 levels. Here's a look inside.
The Las Vegas Stadium Authority will get its first look at the details of the financing of the 65,000-seat domed football stadium when it meets Thursday.
Clark County officials will later conduct a high-impact project hearing on the development.
The Clark County Commission, meeting as planning and zoning overseers, was to delve into details of parking, traffic, water, sewer, drainage and emergency services on Wednesday. However, county spokesman Erik Pappa issued a statement Monday afternoon saying that commission would instead examine the issue at its Sept. 6 meeting.
Nevertheless, on Thursday, the nine-member authority is expected to receive specifics on the four-pronged construction financing package.
The stadium has been billed as a $1.9 billion project that includes $750 million in public funding to support bonds paid off with a 0.88 percentage-point increase in a hotel room tax that ranges between 12.5 percent and 13.4 percent.
Included in the discussion will be direction from the authority board about what specific information it wants as part of a formal resolution when it votes on the financial package.
Thursday's agenda also will include progress reports on drafting the personal seat license agreement, a non-relocation agreement and an overall status report on the project.
The authority also is expected to consider whether it wants an owner representative or compliance officer designated as the point person for stadium construction. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority has an owner representative designated for its $1.4 billion Las Vegas Convention Center expansion and renovation project.
New details about the stadium have emerged in documents filed with the county. Plans indicate the building would be 225 feet tall with 10 levels, not including a catwalk servicing lighting and equipment and a transparent roof.
Correction: This story has been updated with the correct date of the meeting of the Clark County Commission.

Men's personal care brands carve their space in a growing market
Dr. Squatch released a new line of hand and body lotions last week, expanding the company's product portfolio geared toward men.
ByKatishi Maake
Men can be beautiful too. It's a sentiment that brands are latching onto as the men's personal care market expands its product variety and into new channels to reach a customer base that hasn't historically been catered to in the category.
The market, which was valued at $124.8 billion in 2020, is expected to reach $276.9 billion according to a report from Allied Market Research, which identified concerns regarding health, body image, self-grooming, and hygiene as some of the motivating factors.
Then, sprinkle in a little bit of social media influence, and you have the full recipe for what's driving that market growth.
"Guys don't necessarily talk about personal care in a way, generally speaking…that women do and, so there's an element of having to really find ways of connecting with them that are unique," Josh Friedman, chief marketing officer at personal care brand Dr. Squatch, told Retail Brew.
Last week, Dr. Squatch released its new line of natural hand and body lotions. The company, founded in 2013, started as an online direct-to-consumer brand that sold natural bar soaps, but it has since moved into deodorant and hair care.
Dr. Squatch's marketing strategy focuses on educating consumers on the benefits of using natural personal care products, but with a comedic edge. The brand's Instagram page has more than 670,000 followers.
Friedman said it's important to meet customers where they are, whether online (in a direct-to-consumer fashion) or in stores like Walmart and Target, where their products are also sold.
"One of the unique things about how we were able to grow the business and build this kind of ramp-up over time is that we're going directly after our end customer," he said. "That's a pretty unique development. In the past, it was much more of a mixed bag in traditional retail where you're talking to whoever is doing shopping for the household, which is not necessarily going to be your end customer."
Grooming brand Manscaped is also making hay in the men's personal care space. Last week, the company announced it completed an undisclosed Series B funding round that will be used to fuel product expansion.

A mobility scooter is that of like a wheelchair, but it is much more functional than that. It can really ease up your travelling schedule and you can use it for tremendous purposes. Plus, you will not be relying on anybody for travelling anymore once you have purchased a mobility scooter for yourself.

Follow this readers guide and find out the things you need to look for while buying a mobility scooter. We have also compiled some of the best mobility scooters for outdoors below in this publication. We recommend you have a look at them.
You need to think about the place or area where the mobility scooter will primarily be used. If it is for indoor use, you may want to consider buying a 3-wheel scooter and in case it is for outdoor use, we would always recommend a 4-wheel scooter because it can manage bumps and terrain better.
You need to be sure that the scooter fits your body size perfectly and that you can sit on it comfortably. To make sure that a mobility scooter fits well your feet must be flat on the footrest and your knees bent at a 90-degree angle. You should be able to reach the tiller comfortably without having to arch your back. Also, check the weight capacity of the scooter you may want to purchase and see if it underlines your weight capacity or not.
You need to be sure that the seating is well-padded and is comfortable to sit on. A full-sized well-padded and contoured seat on a three- or four-wheel mobility scooter may be the right choice if you spend most of the day on the scooter. You can go for a captain's seat because it promises to offer more support and comfort.
Always go for a portable scooter that you can carry around easily in case you have to move frequently out of town. Also, look for the right place to store to save it from all the unwanted dirt or water that might get to it.
So, if you have been looking for best mobility scooters for outdoors, following list is going to help you out while picking the right one.

Three weeks ago, Steph and I decided to publicly announce that we're expecting our first child (September 1st, dear readers! Mark your calendars). It was crucial to us that the announcement be memorable and fun, and almost immediately, Steph hit upon the idea that the announcement take the form of a movie poster. I'm a film buff after all, so I think she knew I couldn't say no. My initial concept was to do a horror-themed one sheet in the vein of Saw, but Steph didn't like the idea of equating our bundle of joy with murderous psychopathy, so we quickly settled on another well-worn trope: the bright, colorful, goofy posters for terrible Matthew McConaughey romantic comedies like Failure to Launch, or How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. The poster would feature us against a white backdrop, Steph as the beautiful, glowing mother-to-be, while I acted the part of the hapless but gold-hearted man-child.
The announcement was a big hit with friends and family and it was also a creatively satisfying experience. So why am I telling you this? First, I'm proud of the way the poster came out and I just want to brag a little. Second, I thought the poster was a good example of the weird world of "derivative works."
A derivative work is an adaptation, translation, or modification of an existing copyrighted work. You see them all the time without even realizing it. A film based on a book, a photograph of a sculpture, a cover of a song, an English translation of a Russian novel, a collage of cat meme pictures... all of these are derivative works. And with the internet providing unlimited free access to all sorts of visual content, it's become pretty easy to build a career as a derivative work artist. As a result, I frequently get questions from collage artists and photographers asking where the line is when it comes to using the works of others in their own work.
Unfortunately for them, that line is pretty clear; the only person allowed to make a derivative work of the original is the owner of the original! It's codified in our copyright law as an exclusive right, which means that if you author a derivative work without permission of the copyright owner, you could actually be liable for copyright infringement (exception: photographing or painting exterior structures like buildings and sculptures for commercial gain are generally not copyright infringement if the structures are easily visible from a public place). Without that permission, your only recourse is the fair use doctrine, which I've been pretty vocal about being a lousy way to get out from under a copyright infringement claim.
To complicate matters further, if you author a derivative work, you will own the copyright in the parts of the work that are unique to you, even if the derivative was unauthorized. The original copyright, of course, will still remain with the owner. This weird overlap can lead to some sticky situations with both parties claiming some copyright interest in the work and neither being able to profit off the other's creation.
So looking at our faux-movie poster, how does this dynamic play out?
The copyright to the original photograph rests with the artist. Contractually, Alex maintains the rights to all his photos unless he conveys them away. The only right I possess is the right of non-commercial display (meaning I can show people the photo but I can't resell it).
The modifications I made to turn the photo into a poster do not constitute copyright infringement in this case because I had permission from Alex - I hired him specifically to carry out a preexisting vision - and because I'm not making any money from it. If Alex had not given me permission (either explicitly or implicitly), I would have been liable to him for copyright infringement.
While Alex owns the copyright to the photo, I own a copyright interest in the overlay changes I made to transform his photo into a movie poster. Yes I can actually claim a copyright in the layout, the wording choices, the color choices, and the overall aesthetic effect of the piece.
You'll notice that a big reason I'm safe is because I'm not making money off the poster. That, obviously, is no consolation to a working artist who needs to make money to survive. So my blanket piece of advice for artists who rely on the works of others to create their own: do your best to get permission, use older work that's in the public domain, or avoid using preexisting work altogether. And if you're not interested in that, please talk to a lawyer to see if your intended use is protected by fair use.
Ultimately, I think your time is better spent creating new work rather than defending yourself on an infringement claim because you used old work.

Evans man convicted of sexually assaulting teenage girl
An Evans man faces up to life in prison for sexually assaulting a teenage girl last year, after the girl came forward to school officials.
A Weld District Court jury on Thursday convicted Michael Kassel, 37, of one count of sexual assault on a child involving a pattern of abuse, but acquitted him of one other similar charge against another girl, and one count of attempted sexual assault on a third girl.
The three girls told police that Kassel had touched them repeatedly since June and tried to on other occasions. An Evans police affidavit states Kassel attempted on several occasions to touch the girls, and in fact, did touch one of them many times dating as far back as two years ago.
The girls will not be named because they are alleged victims of sexual assault.
Kassel told police the girls were lying because they were mad at him, the affidavit stated.
He will be sentenced Sept. 13 and faces an indeterminate sentence of eight years to life in prison. Under an indeterminate sentence, Department of Corrections evaluators will determine a release date.

Google is always adding new extensions to their ads — and one of the newer extensions that's available for everyone is callout extensions.
I've been using callout extensions in all of my campaigns lately and have yet to find any cases where the CTR didn't increase (even if only slightly) when the callout extensions were added.
But, if you're like me and you work with lots of different clients and accounts, you may sometimes struggle to add in enough callout extensions to let Google rotate and optimize your ads for the maximum CTR.
I've been carefully collecting these through my own searches as well as ones that have been performing well for me personally in my testing. This is by no means a scientific test, but here is a list of tons of great callout extensions that you can use with your clients Google Adwords account. Before you dig in, or if you're not familiar with what callout extensions are or the best practices, read on from Google's official description.
Up first is the most common (but easiest in my opinion) industry. Ecommerce searches usually have similar pain points — shipping costs, product availability, competitive pricing and depth of product offerings. All of the callout extensions I researched fit into those common ecommerce pain points well. I searched for common items like golf clubs, NFL football jerseys and Nike shoes to see what bigger Adwords accounts are utilizing for their callout extensions.
Some of the examples above can be quickly tweaked. The Spring arrivals extension could work well as you rotate it throughout the season, especially in stores where seasonality creates more searches for certain products or if seasonal releases are common. Using callout text to make sure the customer is purchasing legitimate, authentic products is also a great use for callout extensions. Adding that copy into the main copy of the ad would feel a little forced, but working it into the callout can ease a searchers mind before clicking. Of course, the most common extension usage I saw for ecommerce was shipping information — free shipping was by far the most common extension I saw.
With my research, I found mostly local businesses utilizing Adwords with extensions not large national websites. Many ads didn't have any extensions at all — but the ones that did are listed below. I searched for plumbers, electricians, lawyers and medical related searches in a few large cities.
Some of these were hopelessly sad (the business offering a discount on December 25th purchases when it's currently March) but others were good. I personally like the "X years of experience" extension as I've been using that in a medical-related Adwords account lately to great success. Other winners here are the 24-hour availability (great for after-hour calls your clients may be getting) as well as "x years in business" style extensions. In my experience, searchers resonate with long-standing businesses.
These were a mix of more traditional hotel related searches as well as vacation rental searches. I searched in large cites as well as beach-style vacation rental searches. Common OTA's included Trivago, Hotels.com, Expedia & Kayak. A few of the vacation rental websites were VRBO, Homeaway as well as many local websites.
The number-based callout extensions work well and follow Google's guidelines of being very specific. For large OTAs housing thousands of hotels, it lets the searcher know that they're in for a "one-stop-shop" and won't have to search all over to find a great deal.
While I've never worked on an insurance related paid account, I know they're a bear in terms of cost per click. Every single advantage you can have, you should be taking advantage of it.
I did searches generally (letting Google geolocate me) for queries like car insurance as well as searches like car insurance new york and other states. The following were being used by large national companies like Allstate, Geico and Nationwide.
One major element I noticed over and over was the focus on getting quotes quickly. Even if you're not insurance, any type of lead generation that requires a lot of information (like college or mortgage applications) could benefit from callout extensions mentioning the ease of use to apply.
The software paid marketing landscape can vary in competitiveness depending on the cost of the software. I searched for CRM software, project management applications and social media management tools. All of these are known to have big companies vying for customers with large marketing budgets and have large customer life time values associated with them.


Feb 6 (Reuters) - Prudential Financial Inc on Wednesday reported a 12 percent drop in adjusted operating income, partly due to a loss in its individual life insurance business and declines in other units.
The U.S. No. 1 life insurer by assets reported adjusted operating income, which excludes realized gains and losses from investments, of $1 billion, or $2.44 per share, compared with $1.2 billion, or $2.69 per share, in the year-ago quarter.
Analysts had expected $2.78 per share, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.
Adjusted operating income for PGIM, Prudential's asset management arm, fell 20.6 percent to $243 million from $306 million a year earlier, the company said.
PGIM managed $1.16 trillion in assets as of Dec. 31, $6 billion more than at the end of the year-ago quarter.
