economic, and political decision-making process in humans.
Social interactions rely on the ability to anticipate others' intentions and actions, and identifying neurons that reflect another individual's so-called "state of mind" has been a long-sought goal in neuroscience. A study published in the journal Cell reveals that a newly discovered set of neurons in a frontal brain region called the anterior cingulate is used in primates to predict whether or not an opponent will cooperate in a strategic decision-making task, providing information about the inherently unobservable and unknown decisions of others. By shedding light on the neuronal basis of cooperative interactions, the study paves the way for the targeted treatment of social behavioral disorders such as autism spectrum disorders.
Previous studies have shown that brain cells called mirror neurons reflect the known and observable actions of oneself and others. But these neurons do not represent another's imminent decisions or intentions. While neurons that predict another's intended actions have been widely hypothesized and are a cornerstone of many theories on social behavior, their existence had never before been demonstrated. Moreover, past research on the neural basis of social behavior has focused on competitive interactions, leaving it unclear how the brain allows us to interact in mutually beneficial ways.
To address these gaps in knowledge, researchers studied mutual decisions in macaque monkeys while recording from neurons at the back of the anterior cingulate, which is involved in learning social information and is connected with other brain regions that play a role in interactive behavior. In successive trials of the classical prisoner's dilemma game, a joint-decision task, two monkeys sitting side by side simultaneously chose whether to cooperate or defect by moving a joystick to select different options shown on a screen in front of them. A monkey received the largest juice reward when it decided to defect while the opponent chose to cooperate, whereas both monkeys received a lower reward for mutual cooperation and the lowest reward for mutual defection.
Moving forward, the authors will continue to explore how complex interactions are encoded in the brain, with the goal of developing new treatments for social behavioral disorders. "The electrical stimulation technique we used is very similar to what is currently used with deep brain stimulation for treating disorders such as depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder. This study may therefore help guide the future treatment of medically intractable disorders such as autism and antisocial personality disorder, which are often characterized by difficulty with social interactions", the researchers concluded.


The Golf Blog says: Veteran golf writer Dan Jenkins wrote an admittedly fake interview with Tiger Woods for Golf Digest. Yes, Golf Digest. This is no April Fool's joke. Jenkins painted the fake Tiger in a very unflattering light.
Golf Digest should be ashamed of itself for publishing such garbage. As Tiger put it, the article's not true and not funny. Since when did Golf Digest become a tabloid?

Purpose. This study was designed to determine the perceptions of the Oregon-certified nurse practitioners (NPs) with respect to their usage, competency, and preparation for selected functions. Clarification of what NP's perceive themselves doing and with what degree of competence could give structure and direction to their preparation. In Oregon, NPs provide specialized primary care in collaboration with physicians and other health care professions and agencies. The performance of an NP may vary according to the specialty, setting, and needs of the consumer. If some functions of the NP could be brought into clearer focus, then not only could benefits come to the health care consumer, but also health care professionals could work together more efficiently and productively. Furthermore, educators could build programs with a clearer sense of purpose and structure. Procedure. The data were obtained through a survey of 574 NPs certified in Oregon. A four-part questionnaire was adapted from instruments developed by researchers of NPs in North Carolina, Arkansas, and Colorado. The analysis of service diaries provided by Oregon nurse practitioners, additions by the Oregon State Board of Nursing, and pretesting in the field resulted in statements about selected characteristics and attitudes, practice settings, and clinical and community functions of Oregon nurse practitioners. Questionnaires were mailed, and 386 were analyzed. Summary of Findings and Conclusions. Three research hypotheses were formed and tested by chi-square. The following findings and conclusions were identified: (a) Some relationships did exist between NP functions and specialty groups with respect to competency, frequency of performance, and preferred preparation. (b) Most nurse practitioners serve a large number of consumers in low or very low economic circumstances through community or home health agencies. (c) Some functions of high competency and usage are needed in the preparation of all nurse practitioners at the baccalaureate and master's level. (d) Higher education is preferred for preparation of nurse practitioners in a sequence of baccalaureate in nursing followed by a master's degree which qualifies for certification in a nursing specialty. (e) For the functions of lower competency and usage, reduced emphasis or deletion from nurse practitioner preparation is desirable. (f) Some functions are suitable for major emphasis in continuing education programs with the standards of higher education.

I love nothing more than to sit down, relax, and have a little me time. On Monday, my post was all about 10 Self-Care Ideas. One of those ideas on my list was to paint your nails. I always feel so fancy when my nails are painted pretty, but the nail salon every 2 weeks was getting a little expensive for me. Once I started blogging full-time, I decided to start doing my nails at home on a regular basis. Today, I'm sharing all of my favorite essentials that give me (and will give you!) the perfect at home manicure.
These links are affiliate links, which means I may make a tiny commission if you choose to purchase something. But don't worry, it adds no extra cost to you.
Pictured above are all of the essentials that I used for this super easy manicure. The items that I have linked are slightly different for a few of them simply because the packaging has changed. They also discontinued the Wet n Wild Nail Polish, and I had no idea, so I linked a similar inexpensive one for you!
Yay! It's time to paint your nails! I have become obsessed with OPI Start to Finish. It is a base coat, top coat, and strengthener in one. I have been using this for a little over six months and you only need the thinnest coat on each nail.
For my manicure look that I created today, I decided to have a little fun. I'm practicing different mani's that I could do for the beach and I thought a little sparkle accent nail would be cute! I will usually do two coats of each color, allowing them to dry in between coats. It obviously doesn't matter what color(s) you choose to use, as long as you love them!
*Tip: Paint your thumbs last. This allows you to use your thumbs to clean up the nail polish that may have gotten on your skin! It saves so much time, too. Just keep a cotton round nearby with acetone on it, and you can wipe the polish off your thumb as you do your polish clean up!
Once I have two coats of each color on my designated nails, I moisturize my hands with Amazing Grace Hand Cream. If you want to give yourself the at home spa experience, give yourself a mini hand massage while rubbing in the lotion!
What are some of your favorite mani colors?! I would love your suggestions. Anyone else SO ready for fall colors? I cannot wait.

30 retired circus elephants are getting a new home in a Florida wildlife refuge
News Wildlife
Eben Diskin
Thirty retired circus elephants are getting a much-deserved comfortable new home. The Asian elephants, which had been used in Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, will be moving to the White Oak conservation center in Florida next year. The center will allocate 2,500 acres of its property to the elephants, which are coming from a 200-acre property owned by Ringling Bros. The circus had committed to phasing out elephant performances in 2015, and retired the last elephants in 2016.
Although it purchased 35 elephants in total, some won't be able to move to the refuge due to age or medical conditions, but those that stay behind will still be cared for by the conservation center.
The White Oak facility is four square miles of wetlands, meadows, and woods that will give the elephants a diverse landscape in which to live and thrive. It will have 11 watering holes for the elephants to enjoy and three barns stocked with the necessary veterinary equipment so staff can keep the elephants in good health.
Since the elephants have spent their entire lives in captivity, they can't return to their natural habitat.
Michelle Gadd, who leads global conservation efforts for White Oak, told First Coast News, "Our elephant whisperer Nick [Newby], who's in charge of the elephant program for us, has been spending his time getting to know these elephants and their social preferences, limitations and physical ailments for the past two years. It's to see who tolerates each other, who really likes each other, who stays together and gets along well."
White Oak's staff hope to return any newborn elephants born in captivity to the wild.

Reports: The Real McCoyKaty HelgesonJune 24, 2021 December 20, 2021
NOW: REPORTS Kaique Pacheco rides Cord McCoy/Big Sky Bulls, LLC's Viper for 88.25 during the
first round of the New York City Unleash the Beast PBR. Photo by Andy Watson
Cord McCoy has long been known as a bronc and bull rider and a reality TV star. Now, he's raising bulls to new heights.
BY BAILEY BELTRAMO
Stadium lights illuminate red dirt on the McCoy Ranch in Atoka, Oklahoma, on a warm May night. The hum of cicadas breaks with prehistoric sounding bellows and snorts: Midnight Rock, a 1,200-pound bull phenom paws the ground inside the arena. With a clang of scraping metal and a thud of boots on dirt, ranch owner Cord McCoy deftly drops into the ring. Keeping a respectful eye locked on Midnight Rock, McCoy moves the bull into small laps around the arena. It's well after 9 p.m., but not yet time for him to hang his well-worn hat for the day—there's still work to be done.
McCoy's worn many hats over the years: he was a champion saddle-bronc rider at 16, making him the youngest competitor to win the all-around title at the International Finals Rodeo, and winning five professional rodeo titles along the way.
He's pulled down the brim of the reality-TV-star hat as he and older brother Jet became fan-favorites on the CBS show The Amazing Race for three seasons.
He's worn the hat of motivational speaker on the TEDx stage in Big Sky, Montana, and he's raised his "hat" (in actuality, a helmet) countless times in the Professional Bull Riding arena after matching a ferocious bull like Deuces Wild move for move for eight seconds.
Now at 40, McCoy wears a different hat: the hat of a premiere stock contractor. And, true to tradition, it's still wide-brimmed and white.

A LIFE OF RODEO
Raised in Tupelo, Oklahoma, Cord McCoy began rodeoing as a child, quickly developing a skillset that put him on a path to the professional circuit.
That path, however, came to a dangerous halt at the Oklahoma State Fair Rodeo in 2004. McCoy was unseated from a bucking horse and dealt a kick to the side of the head. The wreck nearly cost him his life and left him relearning to walk and talk again.
Grit and an undying love for the sport allowed McCoy to not just recover but to return to a professional level of riding. After his accident, he traded in his bronc saddle for a bull rope and went on to compete professionally in the PBR, earning six trips to the World Finals and a spot on Team USA.
In those first few years on the PBR tour, McCoy unintentionally began his stock contracting career. "When I first started raising and training bulls, I was training them for me," he explains. "I was getting on the bulls to practice."
McCoy started occasionally selling bulls to other contractors as well, but the official switch in profession came a couple years down the road at a rodeo in Decatur, Texas, in 2013. He showed up with his bull rope and a few mighty beasts. He walked away from his ride without a paycheck while one of his bulls left the arena with one. That was when things clicked.
Handed a check for $4,500 that his body didn't need to cash, McCoy couldn't help but question why he was still riding. "I probably retired a year later than I should have," he admits, but focusing on contracting offered a way forward that would keep him connected to the sport he loves. He hung up the bull rope for good and became a full-time stock contractor that same day.

That was in 2016. Since then, McCoy has progressed in his own training techniques, but a notable change over the past years has been the advanced nutrition and care that have become the bedrock of bull training; training that allows the bulls themselves to find more success in the arena.
This new era of animal athletes is largely coming about by means of people like Melissa McKeithen and David Clark who've stepped into the sport as financial partners.
And the influx of new financial resources is causing a domino effect. Increased investment in bulls means a greater population of top-tier stock for cowboys to practice on. More practice at an elite level leads to improved performance which leads to growth and progression of the sport.
"It's not unusual to get on a bull in a practice pen that you could be 90 points on [in competition]," McCoy says. "As long as [the riders] can practice on that level, I don't think we've seen the end of what they can do yet. The bulls don't know they're practicing. It would be like practicing with Mike Tyson and not telling him it's for fun."
"The bulls don't know they're practicing. It would be like practicing with Mike Tyson and not telling him it's for fun."
In McCoy's operation, he sells 50 percent interest of his bulls to partners. From Australia to England, the Northeast to the Midwest, they come from all walks of life. "It's the craziest bunch of partners you've ever seen in your life," he says, flashing an affectionate grin.
In addition to the sale price, partners contribute a $200 monthly boarding and training fee, and cover all event entry fees. In exchange, they get a 50-50 split of any winnings, proceeds from semen sales (another novel revenue source in the bull industry), and an intangible return on investment, one that's personal to each partner.

For Clark, it's largely about the communal and familial aspects. Born in the U.S. but raised in England, Clark didn't experience his first rodeo until 2016, when he attended a Missoula event while visiting the famed E Bar L Ranch in Greenough, Montana. He was hooked.
"I loved it. The family atmosphere, the patriotism, the show, the bravery of the riders, it was all just amazing," he remembers. "It was beautiful."
A chance encounter with a friend at the Big Sky PBR first introduced Clark to the idea of investing in bulls. Soon after, a partnership of 10 friends formed under the name Shotgun Bulls to pay tribute to Clark's father-in-law's call sign as an F-15 pilot who was a Montanan by birth and a former rodeo athlete himself.
Shotgun Bulls has since been renamed Pioneer Bulls and now sponsors a string of four bovines from McCoy's ranch. Their prized athlete, Midnight Rock, is currently ranked 16th in the world standings with an average buck-off time of 2.62 seconds and an average score of 44.46 out of a possible 50 points.
For McKeithen, the intangible piece combines public education and personal enjoyment. A longtime resident of Connecticut, McKeithen has been venturing out to Big Sky, Montana, for the past 25 years, journeys that led to her discovery of rodeo and the PBR. Her knowledge and personal enthrallment with the sport has grown and she loves sharing her passion with friends at home.
"People are just interested in knowing 'Well, how is it that they get the bulls to buck?'" says McKeithen, who has even introduced a friend that has gone on
to sponsor three bulls from the McCoy ranch. "I'm a very small part in a big and growing sport," she says.
Like Clark, McKeithen invested through a group venture named Big Sky Bulls that purchased the notorious Viper who went on to win at the Big Sky PBR in 2019. Since then, McKeithen joined McCoy to cosponsor a bull of her own that she proudly named Belligerent.
And for Cord McCoy? Well, he gets what any coach strives for: to focus on developing his athletes to the height of their potential. "As a coach, contractor, trainer, whatever you want to call it, [my goal] is just making each bull the best that he can be," he explains. It's a philosophy he can proudly hang his hat on.

We present you with the answers to the most important dilemmas when thinking "Does Medicare pay for chiropractors in Palm Desert?". Find out what exactly you should turn your attention to when choosing your Medicare plan if you need chiropractic care, and then see about a chiropractor in Palm Desert that will meet you halfway.
Ok, so you might already be seeing a chiropractic specialist, and you want to know if you can your Medicare plan can cover your treatments, the first thing you should do is check and see whether the specialist is covered by your plan's network.
This is a vital step because the networks change constantly, and you can never be too sure about network coverage. Always thoroughly inspect your network, as there are many financial risks involved if you step outside your Medicare plan's network.
The same holds true for those under Veterans Choice program in Palm Desert, who are unsure about VA paying for chiropractic care in Palm Desert. Check the network and assert the coverage, and then visit Fix Body Chiropractor Group, the greatest chiropractic experts in Palm Desert.
More specifically, the type of your Medicare plan can greatly influence whether or not your condition can be treated by a chiropractor in your Medicare network.
You see, if you're suffering from a serious or chronic condition, it's usually best to stick to the original Medicare plan. It covers all the doctors and hospitals that are participants of the Medicare programs, and it will leave you with the fewest problems when trying to find a chiropractor in your Medicare network.
If you need prescription drugs for your condition, alongside regular chiropractic care, it is essential to consider prescription drug coverage under the Medicare plan you're thinking about choosing.
While Original Medicare is the best choice for chronic and serious conditions, it is not always so for prescriptions drugs. Under Original Medicare, you will pay more for Part B and Part D drugs, than you would with a Medicare Advantage plan.
Also, it is vital that you regularly check the list containing all the approved drugs under your plan, as it is always changing, and you can never be quite sure whether or not your prescription drug will remain on the approved list.
One more thing to look out for is to see where the pharmacies approved by your Medicare plan are. Why? Well, the prescription drugs you might need are always cheapest at one of the pharmacies that are in your Medicare network, so you would save valuable money visiting those pharmacies.
Also, check their vicinity to your home. Not only is it a lot more convenient visiting a pharmacy that is conveniently located near your house, but it also saves precious time, and money as well.
Don't jump the gun when you think you've found the perfect Medicare plan for you. Once you think you've found the best option, it is time to take a closer look into the total projected costs of that plan.
The most important considerations in this phase of choosing a Medicare plan is checking whether the plan has any out-of-network limits, and inspect the potential out-of-pocket charges. This is the only way to know with certainty about the actual costs of the Medicare plan you're choosing.
Will Medicare pay for a Chiropractor in Palm Desert? It will if you come to us!
If you have any doubts about your Medicare plan covering regular visits to a chiropractor, there really is no need for you to worry, even for a second. Fix Body Chiropractor Group offer full Medicare coverage when it comes to all chiropractic procedures. This means more money in your pocket after every treatment.
The same is true for those asking about Veterans Affairs disability claims in Palms Desert. Veterans are always welcome at our chiropractic clinic. You don't have to waste time visiting a local Medicare office and asking around, or going to a Veterans Affairs center. We try to take care of all those who need assistance.

Lady Bruin swimmers earn 3rd consecutive state championship
posted Feb 22, 2017, 6:13 AM by Granger Meador [ updated Feb 22, 2017, 6:28 AM ]
Based on an Examiner-Enterprise article by Mike Tupa
The Lady Bruin swimmers have earned their third consecutive state championship! At the state meet in Jenks in mid-February they finished with 477 points, nearly double that of second-place Edmond Memorial in class 6A. The girls swept first place in all three relay races and won the championship in five of eight individual events. They also won their second consecutive State Academic Championship.
Kate Steward almost broke her own state meet record in the girls 100 breaststroke and won by almost 2.5 seconds. The girls set a new state record in the girls 400 freestyle relay through the efforts of Allison Biddinger, Emily Giovannetti, Delaney Shipman, and Kate Steward, breaking the team's own state record at the previous year's meet. Head coach Chad Englehart said, "The girls were super dominant. They were all very, very strong."
Emily Giovannetti and Kate Steward each earned four gold medals, two in individual competitions and two in relays. Greta Olsen, who was also a member of the three-peat state champion girls cross country team, won three golds in two individual events and one relay competition. Sydney Perry and Shipman were each part of two top relay squads. Coach Englehart also praised Shyanna Kuehn for earning a 'B' championship, placing ninth in the girls 100 butterfly. Kylie Brooks, Abigail Cunningham, Erin Downey, Lauren Greene, June Harris, Hannah Rencountre, and Megan Talbot all qualified for either the 'A' or 'B' finals.
Meanwhile, the boys team managed to place third at state in the 6A division despite only fielding eight swimmers. They were the upset winners of the boys 400 freestyle relay, winning it for the third consecutive year. Aaron Keesling, Lukas Rietfors, Will Englehart, and Matthew Pryor formed the relay, swimming lifetime bests for their splits.
Aaron Keesling set a new state record in the boys 100 breaststroke, beating the 23-year-old record by a half-second. Matthew Pryor was the champion of the boys 500 freestyle.

The Poweshiek County Courthouse is the focal point of our beautiful and historic town square. Orginally designed by architects Drake and Dryden, the 1859 Greek Revival structure houses the majority of Poweshiek County government services including the offices of County Supervisors, Auditor, Treasurer, Recorder and Clerk of Court. The Poweshiek County Courthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.
The Scott Township School No. 7, also known as the Fitzsimmons School has been slated to move from the orginal country landscape to the campus of the Poweshiek County Historical Society. The historic schoolhouse has been well maintained through the years as it served as a voting precinct until 2005. All of the orginal contents of the building, including chalkboards, desks and lighting are still intact. Plans are to relocate the school to the south side of the Poweshiek County Museum to add to the organization's programing and educational focus. A secondary objective will be to preserve the structure so it will be recognized by the Preservation Iowa country school initiative and encourage heritage tourism in Montezuma. The Historical Society is seeking funding to bring the project to fruition in the near future.
Montezuma's Historic Preservation Commission advocates for the preservation of the Montezuma's historic landmarks, including local monuments and buildings within the Downtown National Historic District. The HPC is responsible for the relocation of the Montezuma Civil War Monument to northeast corner of the courthouse lawn. The HPC is also working to secure the necessary funding and planning to support the City of Montezuma in a full renovation of the Montezuma Memorial Hall. For more information on the Historic Preservation Commission or to become involved, please contact the Montezuma Community Development office at 641-623-7600.
The Certified Local Government Program is a preservation partnership between local, state and national governments focused on promoting historic preservation at the grass roots level. Montezuma's CLG was instrumental in providing the support and research needed to nominate Montezuma's historic downtown as National Historic District. Members of the CLG work in partnership with the Historic Preservation Commission on projects in the newly designated historic area. For more information on CLG initiatives or to become involved, please contact the Montezuma City Office at 641-623-5617.
Montezuma is fortunate to have a list of both newer and historically significant monuments that serve as attractions within the historic downtown area. The most recent addition is the World Trade Center Monument at the Montezuma City Offices. The monument focal point is a steel beam artifact from the 9/11 World Trade Center attack in 2001. The beam was a gift to the Montezuma Fire Department, who was responsible for the completion and installation of the monument during the 10 year anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy.

New oil train blast stokes call for safety rules
By KATHRYN A. WOLFE
The spectacular explosion of an oil train in West Virginia has underscored frustration over delays in implementing more forceful safety regulations for crude-carrying trains, many of which rumble through communities' downtowns.
The crash on Monday, involving a 109-car convoy of CSX tankers carrying crude oil extracted from North Dakota's Bakken shale fields to a depot in Yorktown, Virginia, sent fireballs into the frigid air, destroyed a house, forced the evacuation of some 1,000 residents from nearby towns and may have fouled the nearby Kanawha River. It also occurred about nine months after the Department of Transportation proposed mandatory rules to toughen safety standards for oil trains — and a month after DOT missed Congress' Jan. 15 deadline for finishing them.
DOT's current plan is to issue the rule in May. In the meantime, the practice of using trains to ferry Bakken oil across the country has grown at a breakneck pace, bringing along with it a flurry of derailments, spills and fires in the past two years. Property damage from oil train incidents totaled more than $7 million per year in 2013 and 2014 — tenfold the level from just six years ago. And the number of incidents soared to 144 last year, by far the highest for any year in federal records stretching back to 1971.
Though the vast majority of oil train incidents have caused only minor damage, the dangers of oil-by-rail traffic have drawn increasing scrutiny since a train ferrying North Dakota crude derailed in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec, in July 2013, incinerating 47 people and burning much of the town. Subsequent crashes spilled more than 450,000 gallons of oil into an Alabama swamp, sent fireballs exploding over the North Dakota prairie and poured flaming crude into the James River in Lynchburg, Virginia.
"As our nation experiences a significant rise in domestic energy production, we must set a new standard for the safe transportation of those products," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx on Tuesday. "The Department of Transportation and the administration have been working diligently to get that system in place and to get it done right."
Some 28 tank cars were involved in Monday's derailment, and 20 caught fire, though how many breached is still unclear. However, all of the cars in the load were built to a newer, stronger design, raising fresh questions about whether even the improved cars the industry has begun to use are adequate to the task.
"This accident is another reminder of the need to improve the safety of transporting hazardous materials by rail," said Christopher A. Hart, acting chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board. Improving oil train safety was included in the NTSB's "Most Wanted" safety improvements list this year for the first time.
Todd Paglia, executive director of ForestEthics, an environmental advocacy group, urged the administration to "take a close look at the events of the weekend" as it develops its rule.
"No tank car is safe to carry this dangerous cargo," Paglia said. "Oil trains are simply too dangerous for the rails."
DOT's pending rule calls for a combination of more stringent operational controls on crude trains, such as speed limits and improved brakes, along with stronger tank car design standards — but competing industries want solutions that diverge sharply in some spots, making it a difficult needle to thread.
Some lawmakers are renewing calls for the Transportation Department to do more, faster.
Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-N.Y.), whose state has seen controversy over oil train traffic through Albany, said thousands of communities are endangered when "highly explosive crude travels in inadequate tanker cars. Thankfully there are no reported injuries, but these derailments have lasting environmental and economic consequences. If we're serious about safety, we needed these critical common-sense technology improvements yesterday."
Congressional consternation with the delayed rule is nothing new. A provision included in a bill to keep the government functioning, enacted late last year, set a statutory deadline of Jan. 15 for issuing the rule. No one believed the agency would meet the deadline, but it sent a strong signal about lawmakers' frustration with foot-dragging. Just before the Presidents Day recess, Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) blasted the agency for taking so long in issuing the rule and called on regulators to take "immediate action."
"Here we are almost 15 months later, and we still do not have a final rule. Frankly, I am concerned that opposition to the more contentious portions of the rule will only lead to further delays, possibly even litigation. That will end up postponing implementation of a final rule while the concerns of states and local communities are growing," DeFazio wrote in a letter to Foxx.
The current standard tank car — called a DOT-111 — relies on designs from the 1960s that safety regulators charge just isn't sturdy enough to transport crude from North Dakota's Bakken region, which the government asserts is more flammable than other types of crude. But the West Virginia derailment, along with last spring's derailment in Lynchburg, both involved a newer, stronger model of tank car.
The railroad industry has long pushed the Department of Transportation to mandate more robust designs for rail tank cars that carry crude oil and ethanol, and last fall the Association of American Railroads and the American Petroleum Institute collaborated on a proposal with specifics about the thickness of the tank car walls and a timetable for phasing out the DOT-111s. But some oil and biofuel groups also want regulators to pay more attention to track maintenance and the causes of derailments, and the oil industry has disputed DOT's assertions that Bakken crude may be more volatile than other types of crude oil. Meanwhile, environmental groups have called for an immediate end to use of the older cars for hauling crude.
The investigation is still in its early stages, and the cause of the derailment isn't likely to be known for weeks if not months or longer. But it shares some similarities with the April 30 crash in Lynchburg, which according to federal data was the last major oil train incident before Monday's. In Lynchburg, a CSX car — also bound for a Virginia oil depot — derailed as it rounded a bend in the James River, breaching one car and igniting three.
As with Monday's crash, the rail tank car that breached in Lynchburg was a newer model called CPC-1232, which the industry and regulators have touted as safer than the old DOT-111s.
The Lynchburg accident caused some $2.28 million in damage, according to an incident database kept by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. The next most serious incident between then and now was a derailment in May in LaSalle, Colorado, involving a Union Pacific train that caused just under $300,000 in damage.
Though the rule has been delayed, the DOT points to steps it has taken to beef up the safety of crude oil transported by rail, including an emergency order in May requiring that railroads running convoys with more than 1 million gallons of Bakken crude must share information with communities along their routes. That includes estimated volumes of Bakken crude, the frequency of the train traffic and the route the train will travel. Railroads are also required to provide contact information for at least one responsible party.
Also in May, the agency issued a "safety advisory" asking — but not requiring — shippers of Bakken crude to discontinue using the older DOT-111 models of railroad tank cars commonly used and instead use the newer CPC-1232 cars.
Lawmakers welcomed both actions but at the same time openly questioned why the DOT wasn't using more of its authority to take immediate steps. The criticism was all the more pointed because just weeks earlier, the government of Canada had announced a series of mandates including the phase-out or retrofitting of DOT-111 tank cars in the next three years, as well as speed reductions for trains carrying hazardous goods and requirements for railroads to create emergency response plans.
"When can we expect the U.S. DOT to raise the bar, to up the ante?" asked NTSB board member Robert Sumwalt, during a safety forum around the time Canada acted. "Right now in three years, those communities that live alongside railroad tracks that are transporting crude oil in Canada, those communities will ostensibly have a higher level of safety than will those communities here in the U.S. So when is the DOT going to step up to the plate?"
Magdy El-Sibaie, an official at PHMSA, responded that the agency is "extremely concerned" about the problem. "We haven't been sitting at the department waiting to act, literally waiting for rules to come out."


It's about that time. With 2011 heaving its last heavy sigh, people are ready to commit, recommit, and become resolute in their goals. How do we find a way to make sure that our resolutions don't end up in the resolution graveyard from years past? I don't know if I have I have found the key to success, but I have found the key to failure and have thrown away the key.
These resolutions may come from a success we have seen, have been, or want to be. I understand my "why"; I know how to make S.M.A.R.T. goals, and I have mastered the art of self-reflection. Yet, I still have been successful with my New Year's Resolutions fewer times than I have not. I find planning seductive and regularly overplan and overcommit. I am in active recovery from Analysis Paralysis. But, even people without my particular condition fail at New Year's Resolutions. I have come to realize that a little action is necessary before motivation sets in. When you are active, you create motion. That kinetic energy creates an organic movement which is so much more than one could envision or do alone.
Allow Yourself to Become A Miracle in Motion.
A miracle is defined as an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs or an extremely outstanding or unusual event, thing, or accomplishment.
1. Your Purpose May Change.
The Navy Pier, opened to the public in 1916, was supposed to be a huge freight terminal to encourage shipping on Lake Michigan. It never really served that particular purpose; but it has served as a training base, laboratory, school, and much more. Many of our gifts, talents, and education may have to be repurposed. That doesn't mean they are not valuable, just better for a different purpose.
2. Prepare Yourself From the Inside Out.
Construction of the Navy Pier took 2 years, much of that time spent working on the inside. It is rewarding to have people reward you on outward success; but successful people know it's the inside and behind-the-scenes work that make you sustainable. Whether that's a lifestyle change or a business plan, work from the inside out.
3. Your Vision Never Really Changes, Your View Just Expands.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. It's all about positive change and personal growth!
Thank you Kris! Our individual growth will be the best asset to our community.

Breakfast Sandwich Gives 'Fast Food' A Whole New Meaning: Study Finds That Just 1 High-Fat Meal Can Affect Your Heart Health
Eat a breakfast sandwich and your body will be feeling the ill effects well before lunch - now that's fast food!
High-fat diets are associated with developing atherosclerosis (narrowing of the arteries) over a lifetime. But how quickly can damage start?
Just one day of eating a fat-laden breakfast sandwich - processed cheese and meat on a bun - and "your blood vessels become unhappy," says Heart and Stroke Foundation researcher Dr. Todd Anderson, director of the Libin Cardiovascular Institute of Alberta and head of cardiac science at the University of Calgary.
Atherosclerosis can eventually lead to serious problems including heart disease, stroke or even death.
Delegates at the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress heard about a study at Dr. Anderson's lab, led by student researcher Vincent Lee. The key ingredients: breakfast sandwiches and a group of healthy, non-smoking university students.
Fats can build up in your arteries over decades. One important gauge of how "happy" your arteries feel is how much blood flow can increase in your arm in response to its brief interruption - measured as VTI (velocity time integral). You can measure VTI with doppler ultrasound at rest and then after a blood pressure cuff been inflated.
"VTI tells us how much blood flow you can you get in your arm," says Dr. Anderson. The higher the better, which means the small vessels can dilate to capacity, and the blood vessel hormones are working well.
So what would happen to the university students after starting their day with a breakfast of fat champions?
The objective of this study was to assess the acute effects of just one high-fat meal on microvascular function, an indicator of overall vascular (blood vessel) health.
The students were studied twice, once on a day they had no breakfast, and once on a day when they consumed two commercially available breakfast sandwiches, total of 900 calories and 50 g of fat. Two hours after eating the sandwiches, their VTI had decreased by 15-20 per cent, reports Dr. Anderson.
From just one isolated meal, the results are temporary. But the study shows that such a high-fat offering can do more harm, and do it more quickly, than people might think.
"I won't say don't ever have a breakfast sandwich," says Dr. Anderson. But enough of a diet like that, and you can see how you can build up fat in the walls of your arteries.
Dr. Anderson is also co-chair of the group that updated the Canadian Lipid Guidelines (on managing and treating high blood cholesterol), presented at the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress.
"This study reminds us that our behaviours are the backbone of preventing heart disease," says Heart and Stroke Foundation spokesperson Dr. Beth Abramson.
"Remember that whether you eat at home or go to a restaurant, you're still in charge of what you eat. So consider all the choices, and try to cut down on saturated and trans fats, calories and sodium. That's one of the keys to decrease your risk of heart disease and stroke."

Q: Overload parent class method with input of interface with child class method with input of child class I am trying to overload a method of a parent class with a more specific child class. Here is the example code.
interface A {
   public void test(A o);
}

abstract class B implements A {
   public void test(A o) {
      System.out.println("Different");
   }
}
class C extends B {
   public void test(C o) {
      System.out.println("C");
   }
}
class D extends B {
   public voit test(D o) {
      System.out.println("D");
   }
}

What I want when I run new C().test(new C()) for it to print "C", not to print "Different", but when I run it with any other class for it to print "Different". Is there a way for this to work? Or do I need to overload the method with methods with input for each class inside each class?

The Road Book 2019
by Richard Peploe
UPDATED Mon, Nov 18, 2019 15:21
First Published Nov 17, 2019
Keeping the same successful format for another year, its return will be welcomed by an appreciative audience

At road.cc every product is thoroughly tested for as long as it takes to get a proper insight into how well it works. Our reviewers are experienced cyclists that we trust to be objective. While we strive to ensure that opinions expressed are backed up by facts, reviews are by their nature an informed opinion, not a definitive verdict. We don't intentionally try to break anything (except locks) but we do try to look for weak points in any design. The overall score is not just an average of the other scores: it reflects both a product's function and value – with value determined by how a product compares with items of similar spec, quality, and price.
What the road.cc scores mean
Good scores are more common than bad, because fortunately good products are more common than bad.
Quite good
Appalling
The Road Book arrived last year as a bold attempt to give professional cycling the statistical almanack that it lacked, and the expectation was that it would be an annual publication. The next edition has duly appeared, and it looks like it has found the right formula to ensure that it will be back for many years to come.
Pros: The whole concept
Cons: The ongoing cost
As you might expect, when The Road Book first appeared there were differences of opinions as to whether such a thing was necessary and if it would succeed – and I am sure that those debates will continue. If you welcomed the arrival of the book this time last year, then the good news for you is that there is a second edition; if you failed to see the appeal last time around, there will be little here to change your mind. However, there was never a reason to debate the quality of the finished product, which remains unsurpassed.
> Buy this online here
It seems that The Road Book team judged the book's appeal pretty well, in that they didn't sell out of the 2018 version immediately, but expect do so in the near future. Furthermore, many of those who bought the first edition are already back for the second: in fact, a healthy level of pre-orders for the 2019 edition suggest that it is on the way to achieving the same type of acceptance as Wisden, often seen as the benchmark in such matters. Mind you, there's a joke that Wisden's success is partly down to the inability of their elderly audience to cancel a direct debit.
As you might expect, the 2019 edition follows a near-identical formula to that of 2018, with a few minor enhancements. You will get similar coverage of the same range of events, interspersed with the same sort of essays and pictures. Therefore, rather than repeat everything that I wrote last year, I will concentrate on what is different.
Some categories have expanded, such as doubling the number of obituaries: I felt that we may have more 'big names' than usual in the list this year, with the likes of Paul Sherwen, Patrick Sercu, and Felice Gimondi appearing – or should that be disappearing? Maybe it just seems that way when you see a whole year's worth recorded.
More welcome is the increased space given over to the chapter called 'In the winners' words', with Philipe Gilbert, Richard Carapaz and Annemiek van Vleuten giving rare insights into their highest-profile wins.
> Buyer's Guide: 34 of the best books about cycling
There is an unusual contribution from the respected author Paul Fournel, in the form of a poem: I am sure that it will be as good as the rest of Fournel's writing, but since it is in French I can't tell – and even Ned Boulting's explanatory comments didn't help me much.
There are more conventional essays from several new contributors, with the names of Michael Hutchinson, Bob Roll, Tom Issit, and Orla Chennaoui being familiar to many of us: all the pieces are extremely worthwhile, and some are very timely. Amongst them, Chennaoui questions the dearth of female sports directors, Hutchinson interprets some of the power numbers that have been made available to us, and Matt Rendell explores his love of Columbian cycling. It does seem a pity that their audience will be limited.
The 31 pages of images come from 'renowned photographer' Russ Ellis this year: some seem familiar, some less so, but the selection does a reasonable job of capturing many key moments from the year of professional racing. They won't be the main reason to buy the book, but are a welcome bonus.
Once again The Road Book draws upon an esteemed panel of judges to vote on their 'Rider of the Year' awards, and once again the recipients don't match the UCI's points rankings, nor those of ProCyclingStats – but I doubt that anyone would deny that they are all worthy winners: Annemiek van Vleuten and Julian Alaphilippe each win both the overall and 'most combative' prizes, with Chloé Dygert-Owen and Tadej Pogačar taking the 'young rider' awards. It just shows that points don't necessarily mean prizes.
You will occasionally discover random charts and tables, which often throw up some unexpected information. For example, I suspect that many people could correctly name Thomas de Gendt as the rider to have participated in the greatest number of breakaways over the year: 17, helped no doubt by the fact that he was the only rider to start all three Grand Tours in 2019 – and he finished them. But how many people could name any of the three riders who trail him in a distant second place? Julien Bernard, Alessandro de Marchi, and Jesus Herrada apparently, all on 11.
The arrival of The Road Book is a great way to bring the road season to an end, arriving as it does only a few days after the last race (the Tour of Guangxi on 22nd October). It will prove to be an agreeable distraction for fans during the off-season, helping the time pass until the start of the racing that will ultimately provide the material for the next edition.

WSOP Review: Finnish stalwart Juha Helppi wins a bracelet
BY Lee Davy ON July 12, 2019
TAGs: Juha Helppi, WSOP
Finland's Juha Helppi has been travelling the poker circuit for so long you could call him an 'antique', but he's never won a World Series of Poker bracelet—until now.
A World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet is a thing of beauty, but it's also a curse, maddening the heart if one tries too hard to secure the feeling against one's wrist.
Juha Helppi is mad no more.
The Finnish stalwart is a true champion of poker, having turned the spit for decades when most would have burnt their offering to ash. Helppi has made the final table of a WSOP event on six occasions, twice coming within a silk's width from the bracelet.
In 2006, Helppi lost heads-up to Phil Hellmuth in a 754-entrant $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em event, and last year, Helppi lost heads-up to Yaser Al-Keliddar in a 221-entrant $3,000 Limit Hold'em event.
It was 'Limit' that would offer Helppi his breakthrough, this time, the more magnificent looking $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship. The event attracted 118 entrants and cobbled together a final table that included bracelet winners Tommy Hang, Kevin Song and Josh Arieh.
Helppi faced the Day 2 chip leader, Mike Lancaster, heads-up, after a stroke of luck saw his As8h out-flop the AhTs of Hang, sending him scurrying to the rail like a mouse running away from a lady with a carving knife.
The resultant chip lead was 4.165m v 2.915m in Helppi's favour, but it was Lancaster who would hold on to pole position for the most extended period, at one point grinding Helppi down to a 5.1m v 1.9m chip deficit. It's at this point in the tournament that Helppi's experience mattered. The pair exchanged leads back and forth until the Finn retook the lead, and in the final hand, his Kd6h beat Lancaster's Qd2s for all the chips in the competition.
"I've been close to winning a bracelet many times, that's why it was so exciting because it happened to me many times in the past," Helppi told PokerNews after his win. "Finally, getting that bracelet that I've been looking for, like for 16 years, it's amazing."
The Finn has won 18 titles and $7.7m in earnings in a career that began in 2001.
Final table payouts
1. Juha Helppi – $306,622
2. Mike Lancaster – $189,505
3. Tommy Hang – $133,718
4. Anthony Marsico – $96,272
5. Kevin Song – $70,750
6. Josh Arieh – $53,095
7. Kyle Ray – $40,709
8. Qinghai Pan – $31,902
9. Robert Como – $25,566
Three other stars of the game who got close to biting the fingers of Helppi, included John Racener (11th), Eli Elezra (12th) and James Obst (16th).

THE MILLENNIUMBy ALOK RANJAN
The important issue of unemployment
India needs a national employment policy to meet the demand and supply of labour, maintain global labour standards and ensure basic rights to workers
The issue of unemployment is getting maximum attention from politicians, policy makers, economists, civil servants and media. In the beginning of the coming year, elections to Uttar Pradesh and several other states are to be held and political parties across the board have realized that unemployment is a live issue with the youth and they have to provide solutions to this problem. Promises are being made one after another.
In the recent Bihar elections, one party promised 10 lakh jobs. Just the other day, I witnessed on TV a national party promising one lakh jobs within six months of coming in power and also about giving an unemployment allowance. Parties in power are talking about the number of jobs that they have created. It is clearly a crucial issue wanting a policy response from governments.
vThe problem of unemployment has become more severe due to the extraordinary circumstances created by COVID-19. A study done by Azim Premji Institute showed that about 100 million people lost their jobs in the nationwide lockdown during April to May 2020 and even though the situation improved after that, about 15 million workers continue to remain out of work and the incomes also are depressed. As a result, the labour share of GDP has fallen by over five percentage points from 32.5 per cent in the second quarter of 2019-20 to 27 per cent in the second quarter of 2020-21.
Of the decline in aggregate income, 90 per cent was due to reduction in earnings implying that though most of the workers got back to work they had to settle for lower earnings. States having a higher number of Covid-19 cases were responsible for higher number of job losses. Lockdowns led to fall in mobility further causing decline in the income levels. The impact of the pandemic was disproportionately higher on the women and the younger workers. The study found that only 19 per cent of women workers remained employed. One reason was that with the new culture of work from home the burden of domestic work increased and working women had to bear the brunt of it.
COVID-19 also resulted in a change in the structure of unemployment. Workers moved from formal to informal employment and from salaried jobs to self-employment and daily-wage employment. The reverse movement from nonfarm to farm jobs took place as migrant labour rushed back to their villages and agriculture emerged as a fall-back option. This is the very opposite of what happens when development takes place.
COVID-19 reversed the process of development and pushed millions into poverty. Another study found that about 230 million people became poor as result of the adverse impact of COVID. Inequalities also increased as the poorer households were worse affected. During the 2020 lockdown the poorest 20 per cent of households lost their entire income. The decrease in income led to households reducing their food intake and borrowing money thereby making them more vulnerable. There was already a situation of excessive number of people subsisting on the small and marginal holdings that characterize our agriculture sector. With migrants and others returning to their villages the already existing problem of disguised unemployment was further exacerbated.
The CMIE (Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy), which comes out with the data for unemployment shows that in the first two months of lockdown the unemployment rate went as high as 23.5 per cent but the situation has considerably improved now though it would still be called critical. The latest figure for 19th September shows that the unemployment rate of India is 7.46 per cent (9.14 per cent urban unemployment and 6.69 per cent rural unemployment). Urgent policy measures to create employment are the need of the hour.
The problem of unemployment is not only because of COVID but has been widespread even before the pandemic set in due to various structural factors. India is a young nation and majority of its population is in the age group between 15 to 45 years and the median age is 28.4 years. Almost about eight to 10 million new entrants are entering the labour force every year. India should be able to take the advantage of this favourable demographic dividend but the growing unemployment is a major obstacle in the path. The country is faced with the challenge of employment creation as well as that of under employment. The interesting thing is that we have witnessed almost seven per cent growth rate per annum since 2000 but the employment growth for the same period has slowed down to even less than one per cent. Curiously in the 1970s and 1980s when we witnessed the "Hindu" rate of growth of three per cent, the corresponding figure for rate of growth of employment was around two per cent. This jobless growth is indeed a cause for worry. With the advent of cost-effective modern technology industry has been replacing labour with capital. Moreover, it has been argued by some that because of the lack of labour reforms and consequent rigidity in the labour market there is a greater incentive for industry to substitute labour with capital. It is also a fact that the majority of the organized manufacturing sector is paying wages below the minimum salary recommended by the seventh central commission of Rs.18,000 per month leading to a situation where there is great hunger for a government job. In UP we found that even when jobs in the "D" category were advertised the majority of the applicants were graduates and even Ph.Ds. had applied. For a few hundred jobs more than a lakh had applied. Nothing brings out the crucial issue of unemployment more than these figures.
To tackle the problem of unemployment on a war footing requires the creation of a data base of unemployed people. The employment exchanges need to be modernized and computerized so that they can match people with jobs. There is a need for a separate department of employment as currently this is a part of the labour department. Above all, it is imperative to have a national employment policy. It will need to be formulated after consultation with all stake holders including employers and organizations of workers. This policy will not merely be a job creation programme but attend to factors relating to demand and supply of labour. It will endeavour to provide decent work to people maintaining international labour standards and ensuring social protection and fundamental rights to the workers.
Such focused attention on unemployment is required to address the vital issues of huge informal employment, rising unemployment amongst the youth and the educated, shortage of skilled work force, jobless growth, declining female work participation rate, threat of automation and the changes that technology is bringing to the overall job environment.
It is hoped that in the coming elections all the political parties will make creation of employment their most important agenda. If this does not take place then the demographic dividend will be converted into a disaster and the abundant energy of youth shall be diverted into negative channels.

The county is named for the prominent Indian Nation of the same name. The county seat in the early stages of the county was located at Bradford, named after the chief of the Chickasaw Indian tribe. A plain log cabin, erected at a cost of $1,840, was used as the first courthouse. In the spring of 1857 the county seat was moved to New Hampton, a town more centrally located in the county. Following this there were several attempts to remove the county seat from New Hampton. Some county seat bidders were Fredericksburg, Bradford, and Forest City. All were unsuccessful in gaining the county seat. In 1865 the first courthouse in New Hampton was completed. In 1876 an addition was completed on this building. The entire building was totally destroyed in a fire on March 26, 1880. Many irreplaceable documents were lost, but many more were saved with the help of the "Hook & Ladder Co.," and concerned citizens. With the help of a falling mist and buckets of water, the fire was finally extinguished, with total losses estimated at $2,000. Due to towns fighting over the location of the county seat, it was not until 1881 that the central portion of a new courthouse was completed at New Hampton. The third courthouse cost $10,500 to complete; New Hampton paid $5,000 of the cost. The building was made of brick and stone. The inside was trimmed with black walnut and ash. In 1905 a wing was added on at a cost of $4,219, and one year later a second wing was completed with a cost of $200. The current courthouse was completed in 1929 at a cost of $134,000. Architects for the courthouse were Ralston and Ralston of Waterloo, and it was constructed by Tarazar Construction Co. of Albert Lea, Minnesota.

Big problems don't necessarily require complicated solutions. At TWIN Global 2018, former US Army doctor, DARPA program manager and entrepreneur, Dr. Geoffrey Ling, shares compelling examples of applying "brutal simplicity" to resolve grand challenges-- while not letting reality get in the way.


Within religion, God becomes static, He becomes quantifiable almost, He becomes stagnant and rigid. But once a person realizes that God is a person, and that a relationship with Him can be as real and dynamic and exciting as a relationship between me and you, then religion turns to relationship.
What happens when you lose your dreams? Most people already know but just haven't made the connection between who they are now (or rather who they are not) and the point at which their dreams died.
University was the beginning of the end for me. The end of innocence. You might think that statement hyperbolic, but I promise you it's not. It is the end of innocence for most people. However, I think it can be a particularly jarring experience for believers. Everyone else goes to university expecting and hoping to lose their innocence; Christians go to university hoping against hope to keep it.


Skin changes during pregnancy is very natural and previously, I had blogged about sensitive skin during pregnancy. You can read all about it Here. Along with sensitive skin comes acne problems too.
Skin around my back has gotten blotchy with blackheads and my face is still sensitive. Sometimes after removing my makeup, my skin would appear red and angry. So in order to calm and soothe it, I use my LMS LED Spotlight 24 gadget.
You might be skeptical about using LED lights during pregnancy but it's perfectly safe if you are using it on your face or any part of your body other than your abdomen. If still in doubt, do always check with your doctor for advise.
Because the LMS Spotlight 24 is the largest gadget among the rest; the 3 & the 8. It has a bigger surface area and hence, is suitable for body parts such as the back. And it can cover each side of the cheek too.
And yes, I do wake up to skin looking pumped up and better. As for the blackheads on my back, I'm starting a routine of regular scrubs to exfoliate the dead skin cells and blackheads. I'm currently using the Aqua Rine scrub. Regular scrubbing would help to unclog the congestion around the affected area.
Now, I'm just hoping I won't get afflicted with melasma.
Happened to chance upon these videos while I was surfing Asiaone.
Robin Niu (牛尔老师), Taiwanese beauty guru was in town recently to promote KOSE & also host a beauty workshop. I found some of the beauty tips useful and hence, would like to share it on my blog.
Robin Niu was mistaken as a 26-28 years old overseas when he was actually 41 years old then. How does he manage to look so young still? He claims to spend 2-3 hours on skincare. Seriously, I can't do that Most importantly, use cleanser, moisturizer and sun care.
He swipes the pad over her face first to remove the makeup before patting for 200 times. Robin Niu says there's no ugly women, only lazy women!! (Yes, that's me – Miss Lazy) Anyway, he explains that patting is essential because it will help skincare products which are applied afterwards to be penetrated deep into the skin and moisture will also be retained to keep the skin hydrated.
Patting can lessen the appearance of lines, wrinkles and uplift your face shape too. OMG! I must try this….
If you use your computer for long hours, the skin below the eyes will become droopy and saggy. As we only have a few muscles around that area, its elasticity will be reduced overtime. Our eyeball presses against the skin as we look down, so eventually eyebags will form. But do not be tempted to do eyebag removal surgery unless the doctor is really qualified to do so, as some patients end up with sunken eyes after that.
The video shows 4 steps on how to massage your eyes. Look up and use your 4th finger to pat gently below the eye area for 200 times. After that, close your lids and pat 50 times. This is called the Piano Finger move.
The next step is called the Scissor Finger movement, as shown in the video. Press down with both fingers seperated and your eye is in the center of the two fingers. Move them towards the side and then press down hard on at the area near your temples and press/massage hard down. There is an acupoint there. Next, push it down to the lymph node around the neck area to flush all water retention over.
The third step is the Acupoint Move, use your middle finger for this. Press your middle finger at the area near the inner corner of the eye and then below the eye, right smack in the middle. Next, move your finger further below the same point, before moving up to the outer corner of the eye. The next acupoint would be the tip of the inner eyebrow, followed by the middle and then the end of your brow.
The last step requires you to rub your palms together 20 times before pressing it against your face. This promotes the stimulation of endorphins.
Seriously, I think Japanese ladies look so good because they spend so much time doing all these to their skin as well.
Robin says that dead skin cells will accumulate and form whiteheads/blackheads if not removed every 2 days. When cleansing your face, pat all over before using the other side of the cotton pad to rub gently off. The deep cleansing oil has a special oil ingredient which is fine enough to penetrate into our pores and loosen our whiteheads/blackheads.
He rubs the deep cleansing oil onto one part of the volunteer's face. This is now really interesting, he uses what looks like small sheets of shrink wrap to cover the top of the areas where he has rubbed the cleansing oil on. Robin Niu says its his secret tip. This should be done daily for 10mins!!
How it works is that our natural temperature will loosen the whiteheads/blackheads. Hence, when we rinse our face, the whiteheads/blackheads will be removed as well! The remaining more stubborn whiteheads/blackheads can be removed with the famous KOSE mask white. Wow, you can actually see the difference on the volunteer's face.
