Rue de la Petite-Truanderie (street in Little Truanderie) is an old path, in the 1st  District of Paris , in France.

Origin of name
The exact origin of the name is not known, but there are two thesis:
 The first, defended by Sauval and Cenalis who think the name Truanderie comes from the word ugly meaning in old language and popular term lazy, worthless, beggar . Those who maintain this aphorism say that in 1313 this street was called la Truanderie because it was at the northern end of Paris, along the walls of Philippe-Auguste because it was inhabited by rascals, fortune-tellers, and it was a real court of miracles.
 The second, defended by Jaillot who thought the name comes from truage , meaning taxes. Indeed, there were street from Great Truanderie, office or were perceived import duties on goods entering Paris.

Location
In 1817, the Rue de la Petite-Truanderie, a length of 52 meters, began at number 16-18 rue Mondétour and finished at number 13-18 rue de la Grande-Truanderie. It was located in the former 5th district in the Montorgueil.

The numbers in the street were black one. The last number were odd number 15 and the last was the even number number 16.

Currently, part of the 1st  district Halles district , with a length of 34 meters, began at number 16 Mondetour Street and ends at number 11 Rue Pierre Lescot and Rue de la Grande Truanderie.

History

The Rue de la Petite-Truanderie, like Rue de la Grande-Truanderie, was already built in 1250. Its location was formerly part of the small fief of Thérouenne, about half of which was ceded to Philippe-Auguste by Adam, archdeacon of Paris, then Bishop of Thérouenne.

Robert Cenalis, in his History of France, dedicated in 1555 to Henry II , named the Rue de la Petite-Truanderie Via Mendicatrix minor. She also wore the street names of Puits-d'Amour and Rue de l'Ariane .

It is quoted in Le Dit des Rues de Paris by Guillot de Paris under the name Rue de la Petite-Truanderie.

A ministerial decision of 28 Prairial year IX (17 June 1801), signed chaptal fixes that the least width of this public road be 10.5 meters.

At the junction of Pirouette, Mondetour, La Petite-Truanderie and Grande-Truanderie streets were the crossroads of the tower on which the Puits-d'Amour was located.

It forms the south side of a triangular square, the north side of which is formed by the Rue de la Grande-Truanderie and the west by Mondétour Street. Formerly, this square was occupied by buildings.

Access
The street in Little Truanderie is served by the line at the metro station Les Halles , by the station Châtelet - Les Halles.

Son of Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev dies at home in Rhode Island
CRANSTON, R.I. — Sergei Khrushchev, the son of late Cold War-era Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev and who became a U.S. citizen in 1999, has died at his Rhode Island home, authorities said. He was 84.

The cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head, according to Joseph Wendelken, a spokesman for the state medical examiner's office.
Cranston police Maj. Todd Patalano told The Providence Journal there were no signs of foul play.
Police responded to Khrushchev's Cranston home last Thursday morning after getting a call from his wife, Patalano said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The younger Khrushchev was a rocket scientist in the Soviet Union and moved to Rhode Island in 1991 to lecture on the Cold War at Brown University.
He and his wife, Valentina, became naturalized U.S. citizens in July 1999.
"I'm feeling like a newborn. It's the beginning of a new life," Sergei Khrushchev told The Associated Press after taking the oath of citizenship inside a Roman Catholic school auditorium.
In a different interview, he said he hoped his father, who died in 1971, would be supportive of his American citizenship.
"After all, it's not as if I'm defecting," he said.
Khrushchev's funeral will be held in Moscow in October, his widow told TASS, the Russian news agency. She said she did not wish to speak when reached by The Associated Press on Wednesday.

La Tulevieja (also spelled Tulivieja), is a legendary figure from Costa Rican and Panamanian folklore. She is a ghost who wears a distinctive hat called a tule.

Legend

In the legend, a beautiful girl had a secret relationship with a man from her town, resulting in pregnancy. She drowned the child in a river, and was punished by God transforming her into a hideous creature (in some versions she drowns herself as well). She is a short woman with a thick body, swollen breasts, sometimes leaking milk, and tangled hair. She is often described with bird or bat wings, similar to a harpy, and with inverted legs of a bird of prey. Swarms of ants often follow her, drinking milk that falls to the ground.

La Tulevieja has been syncretized with La Llorona in some places, and in those versions of the legend she seeks out babies to feed her milk to, sometimes stealing them. In some interpretations, she is an avenging spirit, punishing lustful men and irresponsible fathers. The only way to escape her clutches is to recite a certain prayer.

The legend has its roots in Talamancan mythology, in Itsö, a spirit of mountains, wind, and rain (though the name can also be used generically to refer to any demon). Itsö demanded the right to eat the first human beings due to help he gave the god Sibú.

The name Tulevieja comes from the tule hat she wears, and in some versions of the story, the plant is a defense against her. Tule can refer to several plants, including Schoenoplectus acutus, Taxodium mucronatum, and Pontederia.

In the mythology of the Ngäbe-Buglé, she is called Tepesa.

Selenium is a very important antioxidant. Antioxidants play a role in preventing the development of chronic disease. Basically, they help to limit damage by free radicals. Free radicals have one or more unpaired electrons and are highly unstable. They scavenge your body to grab or donate electrons, thereby damaging cells, proteins, and DNA. The same oxidative process also causes oils to become rancid, peeled apples to turn brown, and iron to rust, rubber to perish, etc.

Pink Casino Review
0.1 Going for the Basics
0.2 The Features Are Out
1 Matching Gameplay
2 Winning for Champions
3 Concluding the Voyage
Sevens High slot is a release that could make a player enjoy the idea that there is more to life than what they would imagine. A player could try casinos online, jackpots, and a bonus with other games but this one is unique. The strategy needed to complete the game is simple, and every individual would be happy with whatever they try to do with it. With that, read on this review to find out more about a Sevens High that is just fantastic.
Going for the Basics
Sevens High casino slot online has three essential elements that complete it. People would not need to look at another way because this release has all of the right ingredients for an individual's enjoyment. The following are the fundamental aspects of the game that should make any individual enjoy it.
Theme – the theme is sort of like about a little travel back in time. It went for a trip down memory lane when the slots were flashy and extravagant, and there were no back stories that compete for the attention of the individual. Today, the gaming community is always asking for more. More than just a simple game and more than just a blast from the past, the good thing about Sevens High is the reality that even if there is nothing modern about, it is still a good play.
Graphics – the graphics of the release show off an are. It is unclear as to what the area is because some people would say that it is a nightclub, some people might say that it is a stage, while other gamers would say that it shows off the resemblance of a spaceship. It is hard to see behind the reels, so the background is okay. The results are a hard set of coils that consists of the dark background with some flashes of pink, purple, and blue.
Sound effects – the sound effects of the release is all about a futuristic point of view that matches the disco vibes and the flashback which serves as the central theme of the game.
In totality, Sevens High is okay as a release. The fundamental aspects are enough to make people enjoy the real game as it comes.
The Features Are Out
Play Sevens High slot machine online and the gamer would see a lot of what he wants out of the release. The following are the features that complete the experience:
The software is developed by Quick spin Gaming which is not as popular as what one would hope.
It is a video slots kind of game.
It has some 25 pay lines and five reels.
It has a minimum of 1 coin per line and a maximum of 1 coin per line as well.
It requires a minimum coins size of 0.01 and a maximum coins size of 4.
The jackpot is 500, and the RTP is at 96.50%.
Matching Gameplay
Sevens High game has always been a perfect one. Whenever people felt that they could make a better diversion for their time, it is necessary that they go for the much more modern one. However, the gameplay of this one also matches that of the others so people may not need to look beyond it.
First, it has a wild symbol which is big and gold. It substitutes all of the symbols in the game.
It also has a scatter symbol which cannot form any spread wins, unfortunately. However, if the player can hit 3 or more of the scatter symbols, then the Free Spins features is activated and the player can win.
Winning for Champions
Seven Highs free offers a winning strategy which is unique from the rest of the world. It goes beyond human imagination, and while it may be hard for people to enjoy it, without knowing how to get the right combination, there is one way to like it, and that is through the help of some cheats.
One unique element of this one is the Wild Meter. The Wild Meter got placed on the left side of the reels, and that means that once the gamer would land a win, he can activate the respin feature.
What is the respin feature? The respin feature gives the player one chance to respin if he gets a chance to win two consecutive wins. If the player made it to the highest possible level, he would get the highest chance of winning.
Concluding the Voyage
Play Sevens High for real money and all the other modern games would look like they do not matter at all. While this is a classic game and not made up to compete with its competitors, it still has some competition to fight, and people would even want to work on that competition. The real winner, in the end, is the gamer who would give this one a try.

how to write dalit poem
What is Marxist Theory in Literature Marxist theory or Marxist criticism is one of the theories that can be used in literary criticism.This theory is based on the ideologies of Karl Marx, a German philosopher who criticized the inherent injustice in the European class/capitalist system of economics operating in the 19 th Century. Unlike her predecessors, Pradnya does not write about mythological women. He is an Ambedkarite and one of the founders of the Dalit Sangharsh Samiti (DSS), an organisation formed to fight for Dalit causes. One thing most poems do have in common is that Tagalog poetry is primarily written by Filipino authors. Dalit Poems - Examples of all types of poems about dalit to share and read. This list of new poems is composed of the works of modern poets of PoetrySoup. Poems, stories, novels, biographies, autobiographies produced by Dalits established a new body of literature in which, for the first time, the downtrodden took centrestage. In 1988, he became a member of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly and, in 2006, chairman of the Kannada Development Authority, a post with Cabinet rank. In Dilemma, his 2016 poem, the young author describes those challenges in visceral terms: My father sang to me/ In a language his father taught him/ Hence, in it, his rage had clarity/ His love was sublime/ But I grew up much greedy/ I wrote in English and kept on writing;/ Later father's words turned voiceless to me/ I turned deaf to his song, I grew up mean./ Tanaga Diona Dalit Tanka Haiku 1. A great deal of poetry written by Filipino authors, both today and in the past, is instead, written in Spanish. To write a haiku poem, write a poem that's 3 lines long and make sure each line has the right number of syllables. Writing, Translation and Dissemination: A Glimpse of Dalit Women Writings. Marx viewed history as a series of struggles between … Siddalingaiah is one of the first Dalit Kannada poet, playwright, activist, and politician. The emergence of Dalit literature in 1960s in various Indian languages such as Marathi, Telgu, Kannada, Tamil and Hindi, paved the way to expressing subjection and injustice in the form of autobiographies, short stories, poetry, scholarly articles and print journals. The first time I saw Dalit feminist writer Kalyani Thakur Charal was at a seminar last year, on the sides of a film festival in Calcutta. He was also beaten by family members of the girl the next day, found semi-conscious and taken to hospital where he later died. She announces at the start of Doubly Cursed that she chose to write in Hindi in order to be the first Dalit woman to write her life story in the national language. In a recent example of India's horrific caste system, a 16-year-old Dalit school boy died after he was thrashed almost unconscious in front of other students by an upper caste teacher for writing a poem to an upper caste girl. As the title suggests, her account details the life of a political activist working against the twin injustices of … TANAGATANAGA Ang tanaga ay isang katutubong anyo ngAng tanaga ay isang katutubong anyo ng tula na binubuo ngtula na binubuo ng pitong pantig kadapitong pantig kada taludtod,taludtod, apat na taludtod kada saknongapat na taludtod kada saknong nana may isahang tugmaanmay isahang tugmaan.. Her long poem on Vithabai, a famous Tamasha folk artist, beautifully highlights the history of exploitation of Dalit women in the folk performative traditions, which transforms their tragic individual histories into the art of dance. Give the first line 5 syllables, the second line 7 syllables, and the third line 5 syllables. People who had been denied what humanity considers the 'basics', started to transform the lives of others like them, through the written word. Read short, long, best, and famous examples for dalit.

Abdisalam Abdulkadir Ibrahim (* 1. Mai 1991 in Mogadischu) ist ein norwegischer Fußballspieler somalischer Herkunft, der momentan beim norwegischen Klub Ullensaker/Kisa IL unter Vertrag steht. Er war der erste Spieler mit somalischen Wurzeln, der in der Premier League spielte.

Karriere
Geboren in Mogadischu, zog er mit seiner Familie im Jahr 1998 nach Norwegen. Dort spielte er in den Jugendmannschaften von Øyer-Tretten IF und Lørenskog IF, bis er 2005 zu Fjellhamar FK, wo er im Jahr 2006 im Alter von 15 Jahren sein Debüt in der Herrenmannschaft gab.

Anfang des Jahres 2007 unterzeichnete er einen Dreijahresvertrag für die Jugendakademie des englischen Topklubs Manchester City, gültig ab dem 1. Juli 2007. Im Frühjahr 2008 gewann er mit seinem Team den FA Youth Cup, wo man sich nach Hin- und Rückspiel mit 4:2 gegen den FC Chelsea durchsetzte.

Sein erstes Profispiel bei den Citizens absolvierte er am 24. Januar 2010 beim FA-Cup-Spiel gegen Scunthorpe United. Dazu saß er auf der Bank bei der 1:3-Niederlage gegen den Rivalen Manchester United im Old Trafford beim League Cup und beim Sieg gegen den FC Portsmouth am 31. Januar. Am 21. Februar gab er dann endlich sein Premier-League-Debüt beim 0:0-Unentschieden gegen den FC Liverpool. Am 7. April 2010 einigten sich er und sein Verein über einen neuen Vertrag, der bis zum Jahr 2014 lief.

Im Januar 2011 wurde Ibrahim für einen Monat an Scunthorpe United ausgeliehen, doch nach Ablauf des Monats wurde die Leihfrist bis zum Saisonende hin verlängert. Für Scunthorpe absolvierte er elf Spiele ohne jeglichen Torerfolg.

Zur Saison 2011/12 wurde Ibrahim an NEC Nijmegen ausgeliehen. Am 3. Dezember erzielte er beim 3:3-Unentschieden gegen den FC Groningen sein erstes Tor als Profi. Da Ibrahim mit seiner Reserverolle bei N.E.C. nicht zufrieden war, einigten sich der Spieler und die beiden Vereine Ende März, dass er direkt zu Manchester City zurückkehrte.

Zur Saison 2012/13 wechselte Ibrahim auf Leihbasis in seine Heimat zu Strømsgodset IF. Der Leihvertrag lief bis zum Jahresende. Im Januar 2013 wurde der Leihvertrag um weitere sechs Monate verlängert.

Im Januar 2014 wechselte Ibrahim zum griechischen Rekordmeister Olympiakos Piräus. Der Mittelfeldakteur unterschrieb einen Vertrag über dreieinhalb Jahre und wurde für die zweite Saisonhälfte an den griechischen Erstligisten Ergotelis ausgeliehen, wo er bis zum Saisonende zwölf Spiele bestritt. Bei der 1:4-Niederlage gegen seinen Stammverein Olympiakos Piräus erzielte er den einzigen Treffer seiner Mannschaft.

Nationalmannschaft
Ibrahim hat alle norwegischen Jugendnationalmannschaften von der U-15 bis zur U-19 durchlaufen. Obwohl er noch für die U-19 spielberechtigt ist, spielt er auch schon für die U-21. Er hätte immer noch die Möglichkeit für sein Heimatland Somalia zu spielen, jedoch möchte er im Falle einer Nominierung für Norwegen spielen. Dies wurde durch sein Nationalmannschaftsdebüt am 15. Januar 2014 beim 2:1-Sieg über die Moldau bestätigt.

Spielstil
Trotz seinen jungen Alters wird sein Spielstil mit dem seines früheren Mannschaftskollegen Patrick Vieira verglichen.

Bad public policy creates severe distortions in the economy, can lead to macroeconomic imbalances, and often has large societal costs.
Badly designed public policy can cause a lot of harm. It can cause severe distortion in the economy, misalign incentives, and finally produce bad outcomes in the economy and society at large. Take one example of a large US federal scheme that is worsening the drought conditions in the West coast.
The US states of California and Arizona are facing one of the worst droughts in recent history. It has received sparse rainfall in the past four years, less than 34% of expected rainfall, and there is a severe water shortage in the desert land. With experts claiming that the drought like situation could last for a few more years to come, this has already been termed as a 'megadrought'.
Exacerbating the natural crisis is the pattern of agricultural land use. The preference of most farmers in the region is to grow cotton, which is one of the thirstiest crops, in a desert landscape. Each acre of cotton planted here demands six times as much water as lettuce and sixty percent more than wheat. That precious liquid is pulled from a nearby federal reservoir, siphoned from beleaguered underground aquifers and pumped in from the Colorado River hundreds of miles away. Ironically, billions of dollars have been spent on building reservoirs, aqueducts, and power stations to push water from the Colorado river to the dry states of Arizona and California. Similarly in California, production of almonds, another exceedingly thirsty crop, is expanding and it now accounts for nearly 80% of global production. However, it also consumes more than 10% of the state's annual agricultural water use – or more than what the entire population of Los Angeles and San Francisco use in a year.
The reason that farmers are growing water thirsty crops in the middle of the desert during a harsh drought like situation is basically misdirected government policy. A relict from the dust bowl era in the 1930s, the US Farm Bill, provides misdirected incentives to farmers to grow certain crops, though it may not be in the societal interest at large. No American law has more influence on what, where and when farmers decide to plant. And by extension, no federal policy has a greater ability to directly influence how water resources are consumed in the American West.
The Bill offers monetary incentives to farmers planting cotton seeds in the ground; it also provides heavily discounted loans, which they do not have to repay in case the crop fails. Further, the government provides insurance cover on the entire cotton crop, guaranteeing that the farmers will be financially protected even when natural disasters like drought prevents a good harvest. In total, farmers in Arizona and California have received $4.1 billion in cotton aid.
The subsidies are bad enough in creating a fiscal strain and in creating incentives that draw farmers away from growing other crops. Also, due to the implicit government guarantee on the crops, banks are more willing to lend to farmers growing cotton than any other crop. However, the bigger damage it does is in distorting water usage and providing incentives to use more water than would be used in an open market. The final push comes in the form of providing water all the way from the Colorado River, a distance of 230 miles, for a minimal price. The government is also considering building a billion dollar desalination plant to purify ocean water and feed the crops.
If farmers were charged for the water, as well as for the cost of transporting water (using generators to pump the water, cost of building the infrastructure, etc), no farmer would even consider planting a water intensive crop.
Farmers use the subsidized water to transform desert into prime agricultural land. But turning a California desert into cropland makes about as much sense as building greenhouses in Alaska! America already has plenty of land on which cotton can be grown cheaply. Spending billions of dollars to dam rivers and transport water hundreds of miles to grow a crop which can be grown more cheaply in Georgia is a waste of resources, a deadweight loss. The water used to grow California cotton, for example, has much higher value producing silicon chips in San Jose or as drinking water in Los Angeles than it does as irrigation water.
Closer to home, there are several governmental agricultural policies in India that have similarly changed the incentive structure for crop choice. The Minimum Support Price, the minimum price paid by the government to the farmers for their produce, has introduced severe economic distortions. Rice and wheat have a higher MSP than most other crops, which naturally tilt the preference of farmers towards them; rice is a fairly water intensive crop and despite this, it is grown in arid areas across India. Pulses, which do not get much support from the government, are not grown in adequate quantities. There is a chronic shortage of pulses on the Indian market, prices have risen and it has to be imported in large quantities.
As the example of Farm Bill and MSP show, bad public policy and unnecessary government intervention creates severe distortions in the economy, which leads to macroeconomic imbalances and often has large societal costs.

The Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing smuggled out of Cuba
By Martin Puthz

Even the most fast-paced thrillers can begin with pure coincidence.
And so it proved for Alberto Cefis, a Mercedes-Benz collector from Bergamo, Italy, who was in a relaxed holiday mood as he leafed through a pile of old books in Havana, Cuba, in 1996.
Beneath them, he discovered an aged and yellowing brochure, a programme from the 1958 Gran Premio de Cuba.
Top-level motorsport, featuring top-level sports-racers and star drivers such as Stirling Moss and Juan Manuel Fangio… here?
It seemed so unlikely at the time, with the country locked under the austere regime of Fidel Castro, but it hadn't always been that way.

During the 1950s, Cuba was under the aegis of the US-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista y Zaldívar. In 1953, he brutally put down a rebellion of resistance groups supporting the lawyer Castro, who was subsequently arrested and exiled to Mexico in 1955.
From there he prepared the revolution that would go on to grip the nation for half a century. At the end of 1956, Castro landed in Cuba with 80 fellow combatants, including Ernesto 'Che' Guevara, and organised a guerrilla war that finally led to the overthrowing of Batista in January 1959.
Castro established a socialist regime on the island and remained head of state until 2008, when he handed the baton to brother Raúl, before passing away eight years later.
Yet in the midst of all this unrest an incredible race was run, and it even played its part in the revolution when a group of freedom fighters kidnapped Fangio from the lobby of the Hotel Lincoln on the eve of the race to generate international headlines (C&SC, July 2011).
This three-pointed star will be driven and enjoyed
Cefis was electrified by the story of the event – even more so when he began further investigating motorsport on the island and unearthed photographs of two 300SL coupés that began competing in Touring Car events the year before.
A Gullwing in Cuba? It's enough to make a Mercedes fan reach for a mojito…
Coincidentally, while Cefis was on holiday on the Caribbean island, the series Jeremy Clarkson's Motorworld was flickering across the television screens in Europe.
The Top Gear presenter reported on the automotive scene around the world, and for the second episode of series two he was in Cuba.
During the credits, an abandoned 300SL briefly appeared – not a Gullwing but a Roadster, and moreover in desolate condition, but it was enough to arouse the collector's eagerness to hunt, despite Clarkson's parting words: "If you wanted to come on holiday to this super-heated American car museum… that's fine, but don't whatever you do feel tempted to buy one of the exhibits."
Clockwise from top left: distinctive Alfin brake drums, hubs and suspension parts; rusty spaceframe cut into chunks for shipping; boxed for export as 'scrap metal'; ivory-painted original door was among the piles of parts unearthed
Cefis didn't know much about the Roadster, but he had learned that three W198 coupés were registered for competition in Havana during the Batista dictatorship.
The cars belonged to wealthy Cubans, who put talented drivers behind the wheel for the annual motorsport spectacle.
In 1958, the year before revolution came, three Gullwings were entered for the 'Il Clasico Automovilistico' race in the over-2-litre Gran Turismo Class A category on 24 February, and the race was won by Santiago González in an ivory-coloured Gullwing wearing the number six.
Just pipped to the win was the similar car of Armando García Cifuentes, whose horrific crash in the feature race aboard his Ferrari 500TRC resulted in the deaths of several spectators – and would eventually lead to the cessation of all motorsport activities along Havana's Malecón waterfront.
The engines had roared for the last time as Castro's rebels struck the final blow against Batista, but what, wondered Cefis, became of that class-winning Gullwing?
The Gullwing in a piazza in Italy, where it is now kept
The whereabouts of the trio of 300SLs were unknown and their survival seemed unlikely in the Soviet/colonial melting pot that was Cuba, where during the Communist era cars were confiscated and often cut up, and the only imports were Russian Ladas and Moskvitches that were later cannibalised to maintain the ageing 1950s Americana that had previously populated Havana's streets.
The Italian, already the owner of both a Roadster and another Gullwing, set out to search for clues.
Remarkably, just a short while later he found himself standing in the backyard of a workshop in Bejucal, a suburb 30km to the south of Havana, gazing at a silver-painted Mercedes-Benz 300SL coupé.
The Gullwing was found hiding under a tarpaulin in 1996, but it would be another decade before it would finally belong to Cefis.
Left-right: original plates left unrestored; a labour of love that's proud of its history
Amazingly, the removed engine lay in the shed next door – still showing evidence of a failed repair that began in the 1980s – and its number matched the chassis.
Dotted around the garden were several coupé doors, bonnets and a 300SL bootlid, while the bumpers – still wearing the car's original numberplates – were found hanging alongside a collection of original hubcaps on the wire-mesh walls of a corrugated-iron hut.
"Today every collector would freak out," says Cefis, "but in 1996 a Gullwing was only worth around €150,000, even in good condition." The Mercedes looked pretty shabby but, importantly, appeared to be complete.
After making enquiries, Cefis was told that the Gullwing belonged to an elderly local man by the name of Quico.
Cefis finally behind the wheel
Apparently he parked the SL in the garden in 1985 following an engine failure and although he planned to repair it, somehow that never happened.
And what of all those extra doors? Cefis learned that Cuban owners liked to drive with the gullwings raised in period, to combat the unbearable heat inside the cabin, and damage often ensued.
Having made contact with the elusive Quico, the Italian was in for another shock when he learned the history of the car: the 300SL had come to Cuba in 1955, was originally painted ivory, and was the first car to cross the finish line in 1958… wearing number six. Unbelievably, he had stumbled across the González Benz.
Two years passed, and not a day went by without Cefis thinking about the Havana Gullwing.
The Havana Gullwing is an unusual sight on the narrow streets of Bergamo
Further research unearthed the original delivery note, dated 17 August 1955, which confirmed the export of an ivory Mercedes-Benz 300SL to Cuba.
Chassis 5500586 was used as a demonstrator by a local Mercedes dealer until 1957, when it was purchased by architect and diplomat Nicolás Arroyo Márquez.
But still the Italian couldn't make the car his: "The owner was certainly stubborn. It was only after 10 years that he finally approved the complete sale."
Before that, Quico suggested an alternative – and rather idiosyncratic – ownership model: Cefis could take a 50% stake in the Mercedes, as long as he promised to have it repaired in Cuba.
The Italian was unconvinced but, at last, he agreed to do the deal – provided that the 300SL was stored with someone he trusted.
The famous pose
He then owned half a Gullwing, hidden away in secret, but again nothing happened.
It was only in 2006 that Quico approved the complete sale of chassis 5500586, after realising that there was no way the full restoration could proceed with the car remaining in Cuba.
Having bought the SL, however, Cefis now faced a new challenge: "After the purchase, export proved to be the next major hurdle. How should we get the Gullwing out of Cuba?"
At the time, the local export ban for classic cars strictly only really applied to the ubiquitous American land yachts, which Castro had declared to be a national cultural asset.
But even exporting a European car could get you in trouble – one foreigner who tried to extract the wreck of a Hispano-Suiza ended up in jail, and the car was confiscated.
It took more than two decades for patient owner Cefis to realise his dream
"The risk was too great, so we put the issue on hold," says Cefis. "We removed all of the important items, as protection against light-fingered enthusiasts."
In the meantime, smaller components came home with him in his suitcase after each holiday to the island.
Meanwhile, the treasure-hunters were invading Cuba.
With 300SL Gullwings by then worth three or more times as much as they had been in 1996, the appetite for restoration projects was growing and in Mercedes circles there were rumours of mysterious forgotten 300SLs to be found on the Caribbean island.
Images continued to appear in the classic press. Which car they were showing was often unclear, and there seemed to be mysterious changes of location.
Proud owner Alberto Cefis with the restored 300SL
In 2012, Spanish blogger Miguel Llorentes stumbled across a Gullwing near Havana: the badly damaged coupé was spied resting under the drooping leaves of a banana tree, and so picturesque was the scene that it would reappear three years later in photographer Pjotr Dengler's calendar Carros de Cuba.
On the same site, Llorentes also found the Roadster that had appeared in the closing scenes of that episode of Jeremy Clarkson's Motorworld.
In 2014, an unexpected new opportunity opened up for Cefis. Julio, a relative of his landlord on the island, was appointed as Deputy Minister of Customs Affairs.
Over dinner, the men worked out a plan: because the export of a complete vehicle would almost certainly fall foul of customs officials, Julio suggested disassembling the Gullwing in Cuba and shipping it to Europe in pieces, because the export of scrap metal is not scrutinised to the same extent.
For security reasons, the shipping boxes should only be checked in on days when an old school friend was on duty at airport customs.
Left-right: partially assembled before entering the paintshop; the HK Engineering team refits the straight-six
With the decision made, Hans Kleissl – owner of the famed Mercedes-Benz 300SL specialist HK Engineering based in Polling, Bavaria – instructed Cefis on how best to take the Gullwing apart in such a way that everything could be put back together again later.
At Easter, Cefis flew with his instructions to Cuba, where Quico and some helpers had already begun the preparatory work, and piece by piece the Mercedes was painstakingly cut up and packed into boxes.
In the process, as previously hidden parts of the car were revealed, those matching numbers appeared again – not only did the chassis and engine match, but the axles and steering box were also the same as when they were delivered in 1955.
Even better, there were further clues to the car's famous past, as Cefis recalls: "The remains of the ivory-coloured original paint appeared under the silver."
Clockwise from top left: labour-intensive work ensured the factory panels were saved where possible; the cockpit starts to take shape; the spliced shell is reassembled using a bespoke body jig; new metal where needed
With the car packed up in boxes, Cefis was sweating with fear as he brought the first parcels through customs.
There was some confusion over why anyone would voluntarily pay to export scrap metal to Europe, but the boxes were nonetheless all waved through.
The filleted Gullwing was then dispatched in slices every six weeks to avoid the whole car being seized, with the process taking a full year.
"It worked like a well-oiled machine," says Cefis, and with no further hold-ups everything was safely landed in Italy by mid-2015, with the last thing to arrive being the disassembled spaceframe.
Mercedes' injected 'six' is canted over for a low bonnet line
Yet still the wait went on, with three years of laborious reassembly and restoration lying ahead.
The body was pieced together and renovated by a friend in Italy, before being shipped to Germany for HK Engineering to carry out the repaint in the SL's original colour, 'Ivory 608'.
The Bavarian specialist also tackled the engine overhaul, brought the interior up to scratch and repaired the jigsaw of a spaceframe, before the crucial moment of bringing the chassis and body together again.
At the end of the rebuild, Cefis had the Gullwing finished in the racing livery it wore for González's victory in 1958.
Refreshed interior is ready for many more miles
Inside, the plaid seat cushions are new, but the numberplate is the battered original from the car's first year of registration.
At the beginning of November 2018, Cefis took his maiden voyage in the 300SL, 22 years after he first stood in front of the car in Cuba.
The fuel-injected 2996cc straight-six – an exotic spec for 1955 – roared aggressively as he took to the Bergamo roads, deploying its 215bhp with care so as not to damage the car's precious finish.
Not that it will remain pristine, because Cefis plans to compete in historic rallies aboard his restored Stuttgart thoroughbred, returning it to the heat of competition for which it was born.
The original livery has been restored, including the evocative race number six
So this particular thriller has a happy ending, and it could yet be the first in a series.
The Gullwing found under the banana tree is said to have since reached Germany via Venezuela; our photographer has been offered the Roadster project for €270,000; and pictures have been circulating of a red Gullwing wreck awaiting rescue.
Cefis isn't sure how many more of these exotic Mercedes could still be found slumbering in Cuba.
In period, four new Gullwings, one used car and two Roadsters were reportedly exported to the island, but rumours circulate locally of up to 10 300SLs having made the trip. So it looks as if time hasn't yet run out for the hunters of lost classic treasures.

Schools over! The summer days that you have been waiting all year for are finally here. You can now wake up late and go to bed late. There are no more late night paper grading, evaluations, and prepping for exams. You can spend an entire day doing something relaxing and what is more relaxing than a spa, right?
There are so many different spas and luxury retreats that it seems overwhelming when searching for the right one to visit. Medical spas, esthetic spas, and massage spas have all been around for a while but a specialty spa that is seeing a rise in popularity is the dental spa. That's right, there are such things as dental spas and people love them.
Does your face feel a bit dry and tight after keeping your mouth open for a cleaning? Dental spas offer facials to restore the moisture to your beautiful face. Do you get nervous before your dental procedures? Dental spas offer massages to help you relax after. Do you see the trend here?
Dental spas are a place where you can get your dental procedure done (general or cosmetic) and pamper yourself after. Some dental spas offer hair and nail services; others offer all the amenities you can get at any luxury spa, including hot tubs and soaking baths. Now you tell me, what woman wouldn't love an excuse to pamper herself?
Honey… I'm going to go get my teeth cleaned… and I am getting a massage, and maybe a facial.
During this relaxing time away from students, why not treat yourself to a nice day at the dental spa.
I still haven't got any dental spa but I would to try once. Actually my friend had dental spa in last summer holidays. He had great experience. I am excited to get dental spa tomorrow.

Consanguinity and dysmorphology in Arabs
Lihadh Al-Gazali, Hanan Hamamy
Zayed Center Health Sciences
Incidence rates of congenital disorders among the 350 million inhabitants of Arab countries could be influenced via the people's demographic and cultural characteristics. Arabs usually marry at a young age and have large families. They share certain core cultural values and beliefs, with the family accepted as the central structure of society. Consanguineous marriage is favored and respected in most if not all Arab communities, and intrafamilial unions currently account for 20-50% of all marriages. First-cousin unions are especially popular and constitute almost one quarter of all marriages in many Arab countries. Consequently, autosomal recessive (AR) dysmorphic syndromes constitute a considerable proportion of all birth defects among Arabs. Arab geneticists, with their persistent commitment to advancing research, have contributed to the description of a number of rare and new AR syndromes with the identification of novel genes. The collaboration with research teams in high-income countries resulted in a plethora of data on pathogenic variants and their function in causing dysmorphic syndromes. There could still be a considerable number of rare dysmorphic syndromes that prevail among Arabs which are not hitherto described and whose underlying molecular pathologies are not yet defined. Arab countries should thus strive to deploy DNA diagnostics and to build research capability around local priorities. Furthermore, a characterization of the prevailing genetic disorders in each geographic location, together with their mutations, is needed to plan for appropriate screening and testing protocols. An overview of consanguinity in Arab countries and examples of dysmorphology syndromes associated with consanguinity with their available molecular bases will be discussed.

July 26, 2017 July 26, 2017 indivisibleebadmin Meetings, Our Impact, Town Halls
Checking in with State Senator Wieckowski
Last week saw the passage of AB 398, the compromise cap-and-trade bill, which prevented the much more progressive SB 775 from working its way through the legislature.The author of SB 775, State Senator Bob Wieckowski (SD-10, Fremont), spoke at an event in San Francisco hosted by the Universal Income Project on Tuesday evening. Members from IEB as well as our friends at CA StateStrong & Indivisible SF attended the event to express our support for SB 775 and our disappointment that the Senator (and most other Democrats) voted for AB 398.
Senator Wieckowski responded that AB 398 is mediocre, that he had a hard time casting his vote, and that his staff supported a no vote, but that he was "definitely feeling the heat" from Jerry Brown, who designed the current cap & trade system protected by AB 398 and considers it his "baby." Wieckowski also talked about the role of SB 1, the gas tax bill that was passed earlier this year, implying that some legislators feel paralyzed in passing any more legislation that could be perceived as a tax this year. He said if he could do it again, he would come out louder and earlier in support of SB 775. We told him he could and should let the grassroots help him in his efforts to pass progressive environmental legislation.
On a positive note, Senator Wieckowski talked at length about SB 775 and his continuing desire to overhaul and improve the entire system. When we asked whether there was any path forward to implement the good parts of SB 775, he said the current bill just punts the responsibility of the entire program to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) – so in theory, there's nothing prohibiting more legislation that would direct CARB to implement some of SB 775's features (for instance, not allowing rollover carbon emission allowances). Senator Wieckowski seems quite knowledgeable about environmental matters and concerned about other environmental issues, including decarbonizing the grid and promoting the use of clean vehicles. Overall, perhaps the most optimistic takeaway is that we have found an opportunity to work with a legislator who is not used to working with the grassroots but is open to our input, our help, and our support for pushing the environmental needle left. So let's keep showing up!

3-D Infographic Map Shows Location, Tint of 2012 Votes
by staff, December 5th, 2012 9:46 AM EST
The three-dimensional map above by Princeton Professor Robert Vanderbei displays votes county by county, using purples, instead of just blues and reds. The creative display of his z-axis also provides a visual sense of how many voters turned out in the locations. As Kyle VanHemert's article, "Infographic: A 3-D Map Of Where Votes Were Cast Most" at Fastcode design explains:
…In metropolitan areas, columns shoot up like neon skyscrapers; in flyover country, it's typically more of a low-rise affair. But the effect is powerful: At a glance, Vanderbei's map shows not just how the country voted, but where it voted, too.
And that means cities. The democratic lean of places like New York City, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Boston shouldn't be news to anyone, but seeing the results like this gives you a sense of just how overwhelming the number of voters really is in those densely populated urban centers.
…Vanderbei, a professor of operations research and financial engineering, made his first "Purple Area" visualization after the 2000 election. He had been reading USA Today when one of the typical "county-by-county, red-blue" graphics caught his eye. That map, he says, "made me wonder why anyone would paint a county-by-county map in such a way as to imply that a county has cast its vote for one candidate or the other. I live in a county that went about 52% republican and 48% democratic in that election. Painting the county red seemed highly misleading."
Both GOTV and political ad strategists should find Vandebei's map of considerable interest, since it does a good job of providing a visual sense of where you get the most bang per buck, at least in 2012. It would be even more interesting to see similar maps based on future demographic projections.
VanHemert notes the limitations of the map and continues:
…As long as we continue to operate under the Electoral College, state totals are really what matter in the end, and you'd be hard-pressed saying who won after a quick look at this map… But my biggest takeaway was that the Obama campaign's ground game in Colorado must've really worked. Denver's the country's 23rd most populous city–smaller in population than Houston, Dallas, El Paso, and Fort Worth to the south in Texas–but its impressively tall (and solidly blue) stack represents a key source of votes in what was a hotly contested state.
Perhaps state and local Democratic party organizations can learn something useful from the Colorado and Denver Democratic organizations. The map also shows why Republicans have to invest their economic and human resources more widely to turn out their base. And if election by direct popular vote is ever enacted, you can see where most of the campaigning will take place.

Amazon India launches test preparation & info portal Exam Central
Sneha Johari
By Sneha Johari (	@thejunebug sneha@medianama.com ) January 15, 2016
Amazon India has launched Exam Central, under the books department on the website where users can get access to sample question papers, solved papers and articles from academicians for entrance exams. It will also display exam info and calendar (for the next 3-4 months, updated in time), preparation books, study material, exams preparation tips and FAQs.
This will cover exams like UPSC mains, GRE, GATE, IBPS PO, CAT, GMAT, IIT-JEE, bank exams like SBI PO, BPS Clerk, management exams, engineering and medical exams, as well as international and professional exams. Some of these books will also be available in Hindi. The select featured exam sample papers, solved papers and articles for the month will be free to download.
The company said that it had witnessed a growing demand for exam preparation books for some time and that they emerged as the third most popular book category in 2015. Books on government vacancy exams were Amazon's fastest growing category followed by English language learning books.
Amazon's entry gives it a heads up of sorts over other ecommerce marketplaces like Flipkart and Snapdeal. There's a chance that the company may add more features to its Exam Central in the future, since it is also a book store where test preparation and study material is available. That saves users the step of finding a book in a curriculum and then looking for it online or offline. While Amazon does not compete with other education/test preparation companies with Exam Central directly, multiple startups and established companies offer offline study, guidance from experts, getting answers checked and feedback on them etc. (Education coverage)
Breakneck growth in India: In October, we reported that the number of sellers on Amazon India grew 250% year-on-year. Amazon added 40,000 products per day in 2015 and has 30 million products on it platform. Amazon.in's 2015 Diwali season sale was the company's largest ever, with daily sales of approximately four times of those in 2014. In the third quarter, active customers on Amazon.in grew over 230% compared with last year. 90% of the sellers in Amazon India used the company's warehouse and logistics services, and Amazon tripled its fulfillment capacity from 2014. It had a total of 21 fulfilment centres in 10 states across India.
Kindle to support Indian languages? In September, Amazon was expected to launch a version of the Kindle supporting Indian languages in December 2015 or January 2016, Alind Maheshwari of the Rajkamal Prakashan Group, a significant publisher of Hindi literature, said at the Publishing Next conference.
AmazonBasics: In the same month, Amazon launched AmazonBasics in India, starting with consumer electronics, with expansion plans to include other categories in the coming months. AmazonBasics is essentially Amazon acting as a seller and selling self branded products, likely not made by the company, but probably procured from small unknown manufacturers and rebranded as AmazonBasics.
Refurbished smartphones: In August, the company entered into a partnership with Surpluss to sell refurbished smartphones by Samsung and Xiaomi on its platform, with plans to add refurbished smartphones from brands like Apple, One Plus, Lava and Motorola.

Great news! I've been shopping on Amazon since 2000 across four countries and must have placed 100+ orders during that period. While there was nothing greatly wrong with Flipkart, I switched to Amazon as soon as it launched in India and haven't gone back to anyone else. Amazon is amazingly customer-centric and delivers unparalleled CX. This move will deliver a big blow to the other companies in this space in India.

Glasgow might not be Scotland's capital city, but it is the country's largest city. Bursting with culture, creativity and vibrancy, Glasgow can offer many different options to a wide variety of travellers and tourists.
At Stop By Scotland, our writers are very passionate about showcasing the very best for tourism in Scotland. In this article, the team will be breaking down and listing what they consider to be the must see and must do when visiting Glasgow.
Glasgow Music City Tours is one of the newest attractions to the city in recent years, where knowledgeable tour guides take you around the city's famous music venues and tell you about all the legendary stories which have taken place in and around these venues. Expect to visit historic venues such as the Barrowlands, King Tuts and more. This is a perfect tour for the enthusiastic music fan that has an interest in Scottish music from the 60's 'til present date.
Located on the backstreet of Byres Road in the West End of the City, there is numerous bars, restaurants and even an independently run cinema. But it isn't the standard of bars which makes Ashton Lane so great, it's the way it looks. A charming brick road sounding by fairy lights and lamp posts creates a quirky location which acts as a miniature version of how the West End is viewed.
Scotland is home to one of European footballs giants in Celtic Football Club. Every second week there is likely to be a match happening at Celtic Park in the East End of Glasgow, and it would be well worth attending if you are a football fan. Celtic might not make quit as much revenue and command international success as a lot of the English teams, but there fans bring a passion which you don't see at many football clubs.
One of Glasgow's most modern and trendy districts to shop, drink and eat in is the Merchant City. Located in the heart of the City Centre, expect to see high-profile designer stores such as Armani, Mulberry, Gant, Ralph Lauren and more. As well as great restaurants and cafés such as Mono, Paesano and more, you'll no doubt have great fun visiting the Gallery of Modern Art, the City Halls, Virginia Court, and all the other boutique spots. If you go at the right time of year, you could visit the Merchant City Festival. You should look into Merchant City Hotels, as it's a great destination to be based.
Of course, if you are looking to view some of the more historical architecture in Glasgow you should start at the Art School, for some of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's best work, however, modern builds aren't so bad in Glasgow either, one which stands out is the Riverside Museum, which is perhaps one of the most unique buildings in the whole of the UK.
Glasgow is an incredibly eclectic place to visit and you'll struggle to run out of activities to do during your stay. As we mentioned above, we do recommend staying in a merchant city serviced apartment, so make sure that you check out Fraser Suites and the other surrounding hotels as an option during your stay.


With just a little forethought and planning, your postage stamp yard can be transformed into an charming hideaway that you and your family will enjoy for years to come. Additionally, though it may be further down the road, if you're planning on selling your home in the future, the right design could potentially turn a once-negative selling feature into an appreciating asset.
As for how to go about re-imaging the space, while personal style will undoubtedly play a pivotal role, there a few tips that will help ensure success. Our small backyard ideas will have you relaxing in a space that is so equally functional and aesthetically pleasing that you won't even be thinking about the square footage.
One of the ways make a space look cohesive is by defining its function. Start by thinking about the ways in which you'd ideally like to use your exterior. Maybe a large dining table is key for al fresco summer dining. Perhaps you'd prefer a plush seating area that's perfect for relaxation or even a fire pit. Depending on how much space is available, you can consider sticking with one main function or breaking your yard up into a few distinct areas.
When people first glance at a space, they tend to scan the area as a whole, which is one of the quickest ways to realize how little square footage is actually available. You can change that perception by giving the eyes a strong focal point to land on instead.
Consider making a pathway through your backyard with pavers or stones that will define a clear sense of movement throughout the area. If you've chosen to divide your yard up for a few separate uses, make sure that you include a pathway to each.
Small backyards naturally offer fewer opportunities to add pops of visual interest than their more spacious counterparts, but using bold colors is one of the easiest ways to make each one count. Just the same as your would with your interiors, you can bring color through the cushions and throw pillows that adorn your seating sets, but don't be afraid to seek inspiration from nature as well.
Flowers in bloom are an excellent way to add a strong pop of color to any outdoor space. For a truly pulled together look, focus on sticking to 2-3 colors and designing your entire yard with the same cohesive color scheme.
Whoever first said "less is more" may very well have been brainstorming small backyard ideas. When there is only a small amount of space available, it becomes very easy for the eye to get overwhelmed and your yard to appear cluttered. Streamline your design by keeping decor items on the minimal side. Additionally, make sure that your lawn stays well-maintained with regular cuttings and proper plant care. If you have little ones who are prone to leaving out toys and sporting equipment, do your best to encourage cleaning up as a priority.

V Soft Lift© is a surgical thread (suture) inserted into skin tissue for temporary support of the face and upper neck. It is less invasive than surgical methods and offers better results than lasers.
V Soft Lift© enables a tightening and lifting effect as well as smoothing wrinkles. Effects last 9-12 months. The number of threads used depends on the amount of lift required.
The PDO sutures are slowly resorbed over a period of time with complete absorption after 6-7 months. Results can be seen immediately after treatment with further improvement over the following 3-4 months (due to the formation of new, plumping collagen), depending on the condition of the skin. Skin texture and tone also improve.
Polydioxanone (PDO) has been used in surgery for more than 30 years. PDO threads have a high safety profile, with complete absorption and minimal tissue reaction. There are two types of threads used – one has tiny barbs notched into the thread to enable lifting (Barbs), the others (Monos) are smooth and are used for collagen stimulation and plumping.
The procedure takes 60-90 minutes. The skin is thoroughly cleaned and a cap applied to cover your hair. Professor MacKenzie will then mark lines on the skin where the threads will be inserted to achieve the best results. Once you are in a comfortable semi-reclined position, Prof MacKenzie will inject local anaesthetic along these lines. The threads are then inserted using a fine cannula under the skin. Once all have been inserted, the threads are tightened and smoothed to bed them into place. Firm massage is employed over the threads. No dressing or external stitches are required. Existing facial asymmetry is unlikely to disappear but every effort will made to improve this.
Some discomfort may be experienced during treatment. Local anaesthetic is normally injected and numbing cream may also be used.
Threads are inserted through very small puncture wounds, which may take a few days to heal. Tiny scars, although unusual, may occur at the puncture site(s). Very rarely threads may be partially visible through the skin.
Bruising of the treated area is likely to occur and there will be swelling. Immediately after treatment there may be some swelling, redness, itching and tenderness. This is a normal result of the procedure and will settle. The swelling may remain for up to a few days, the other symptoms usually settle more quickly. There can be bruising after the procedure and the risk of this is higher if aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen (Brufen) or diclofenac (Voltarol) have been taken within the last two weeks. Bruising can be quite marked in some instances and the application of ice and arnica following treatment may reduce this.
The risk of infection is low, however if the treated area becomes red, warm or tender after the first day, it is essential to contact the clinic to book a review appointment. Occasionally, as the lifting effect settles, the threads may be felt at the surface of the skin. If this occurs, contact the clinic as the ends of the PDO Thread may require trimming. If you feel any threads inside your mouth, let Prof MacKenzie know.
It is possible, though unusual, to experience a bleeding episode during or after the procedure. Should post-operative bleeding occur, it may require treatment to drain accumulated blood (haematoma) though these usually settle over a few weeks.
Deeper structures such as nerves, blood vessels and muscles may be damaged during the procedure. The potential for this to occur varies according to the location on the body the procedure is being performed. Injury to deeper structures may be temporary or permanent.
In rare cases, local allergies to the cleanser, gloves, suture material, or creams have been reported. Systemic reactions, which are more serious, may result from drugs used during surgery and prescription medicines. Allergic reactions may require additional medical treatment.
Even local anaesthetic cream can involve risk. There is the small possibility of complications, injury, and even death from all forms of anaesthesia.
During the healing process, there is a possibility of the treated area either becoming lighter or darker in colour than the surrounding skin. This is usually temporary, but on rare occasions, may be permanent. Use of daily SPF30+ sun protection is very important.
Although the threads will give some improvement in laxity (looseness), it will not correct all your facial laxity.
Complications are more likely as a result of infection, pre-existing skin or other medical conditions, medications or smoking, so smoking is discouraged and your surgeon should be informed of all pre-existing conditions or medications.
Any known allergy or foreign body sensitivities to plastic biomaterials. Autoimmune disease, history of granuloma formation or keloid scarring. The threads are non-allergenic so the risk of allergy is low.
Immediately after treatment there may be some swelling, redness, itching and tenderness. This is a normal result of the procedure and will settle. The swelling may remain for several days, the other symptoms usually settle more quickly. Paracetamol is the recommended painkiller if needed, as aspirin, ibuprofen/brufen and voltarol/diclofenac may cause more bruising.
Make-up to the treated area should be avoided for 24 hours as this may disturb the treatment and increase the risk of infection. Do not massage or disturb the area that has been treated.
Direct pressure should be avoided for 3 weeks, please try to avoid sleeping on your face.
Keep facial movements to a minimum for 3 weeks and this includes excessive chewing, laughing, talking and yawning. Avoid drinking through a straw and smoke as little as possible.
Try to keep the face elevated at least 30 degrees by sleeping on your back with an extra pillow for the first 3 nights. Strenuous exercise or sexual activity should be avoided for one week.
Rippling or dimpling of the skin is very common over the first few days and almost always settles over two weeks. Occasionally firm massage is needed to resolve his.
Pings and twangs are very common over the first few weeks and are simply the barbs settling in. It is VERY important to maintain only upwards facial movement and pressure and to avoid downward movements during, e.g. washing, cleansing, moisturising, whistling etc. as this may loosen the threads. There may be a little over-correction immediately after treatment although if this occurs, this will settle over the next few days to give the final results.
Wait at least 2 weeks before Botox, fillers or other injectable treatments. Delay heat treatments (laser, hair removal, radiofrequency, saunas, sunbeds, sunbathing) for 6 months post procedure as this may make the threads dissolve faster. Do not use a swimming pool or jacuzzi for at least 5 days. Flights should also be avoided for at least 5 days.
In some situations, it may not be possible to achieve optimal results with a single procedure. Multiple procedures may be necessary. Should complications occur, additional procedures or even surgical treatments may be necessary.
Treatment with fillers may also be desirable to improve the appearance even further following threads.
No bruising, you are amazing!
Very impressive, you're the best!


Sometimes the only reason you know a member of your family served in the American War for Independence is because they applied for a military pension years after their service. Records were not kept of every person who served, especially those who volunteered in state militias. They enlisted and were discharged sometimes verbally with no official paperwork.
When a man who served this way wanted to apply for a pension, the practice was for him to come to court and issue a sworn statement regarding his service. At that point a decision was made as to whether or not he was entitled to one.
About the commencement of the Revolutionary War…as a volunteer in the company commanded by Captain Seath (afterwards Col. Seath) in the regiment commanded by Colonel Meriweather and marched to Williamsburg and then to Cabbin Point where we…about six weeks and marched to York Town and then to Smithfield and from there back to Cabbin Point where I was discharged verbally by my superior officer having served something more than two months.
About one month or two and I again volunteered in the company of Captain Walker in Amelia Virginia and marched to Richmond and then to Petersburg – then on to Williamsburg where we were stationed for some time. From there we marched to York Town and to Smithfield and then on to the…where I was discharged having served about two months.
Some short time afterwards I again entered the service under Captain Craddock and served a tour the length of which I cannot recollect, but it could have been two months – my fourth (tour) was…under Captain Walker for about two months in a section of the country with which I was unacquainted and I cannot now recall the names of places…I afterwards served two (tours) about two months each under Major McClure (?) and (Gen.?) Lafayette and was finally discharged in York Town a short time before the fall of Lord Cornwallis.
I have no documentary evidence…service now…and know of no people who served with me who can now (vouch) for me. My claim to a pension (doesn't rest) on anything except the present (perhaps meaning this present testimony) and declare that my name is not on the pension roll of the army of any state.
It appears he was granted a pension of $40 per year (about $1100 today) as a result of his statement. Drury Hutcheson went on to live three more years dying at the ripe old age of ninety-one in 1836.
Interestingly, his son and my fourth great grandfather Furney Hutcheson, served as a volunteer from South Carolina during the War of 1812, perhaps due to the example set for him by his father at the nation's founding.
