Meet Dr Small
Dr. Kevin Small, a board-certified plastic surgeon, is a well-known innovator and an educator in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery.
He has received many honors and awards citing his excellence in academics, teaching, and research from prestigious organizations such as the American Society of Plastic Surgery, the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, and the Plastic Surgery Educational Foundation.
Dr. Small was the former assistant professor at Weill Cornell Medical College and attending plastic surgeon at New York-Presbyterian Hospital. He was recently appointed as the Director of Plastic Surgery for New York Bariatric Group. Dr. Small has presented his innovative research at local, national, and international meetings; he has innumerable original manuscripts and book chapters in multiple peer-reviewed collections including Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Aesthetic Surgery Journal.
Dr. Small is from Nashville, Tennessee, and received his medical degree from New York University School of Medicine in New York City. He completed his plastic surgery residency at New York Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center and also an aesthetic surgery fellowship at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. Dr. Small is married to Stephanie Kalikow Small with two small children - Lucas Ryan Small & Remy Paige Small.
Dr. Kevin Small: One Of America's Most Honored Doctors Of 2021
Every year, The American Registry catalogs the accolades of physicians across the United States and reviews the ratings and awards given to them by their peers, professional organizations, the media, and their own patients. Among the top physicians are those relative few who are recognized more widely than all others and who are thus officially titled America's Most Honored Doctors, a distinguished selection that places these doctors among the best of the best. Dr. Kevin Small is proud to have been recognized as one of America's Most Honored Doctors for 2021.
Dr. Kevin Small has been named a Castle Connolly Top Doctor for 2023! This is a recognition that only goes to the top 7% of all US board-certified physicians.
A Fresh Approach
Dr. Small is one of the brightest stars of a new breed of plastic surgeons. He brings to the practice a capability to handle virtually any plastic surgery challenge. He credits this to hands-on experience with a broad array of advanced procedures that encompass the full potential of what plastic surgery can do to enhance and reconstruct the human body. With expertise in over 35 major areas of plastic surgery and non-surgical cosmetic and corrective procedures, Dr. Small can deliver a combination of techniques that often minimize recovery time while maximizing the gains patients experience in the tone, contours, and aesthetic balance of their problem areas. This new approach doesn't stop there. Plastic surgery isn't just about treating appearances.
Dr. Small recognizes that every patient has his or her own relationship to health, nutrition, fitness, and life. Each must be addressed so that they are educated and motivated to overcome and correct non-optimum habits. As a result, patients' weight continues to remain stable and they project new lifestyle practices into their post-procedure future. This is a vital step to protect the longevity of results and it is a step often omitted in less holistic practices. Because of his broad-based competence, Dr. Small can apply multiple techniques to ensure a harmonious balance to the proportions and shapes of the body. The result is a strikingly natural and organic look that enhances core beauty and fitness – one that shines from within.

My eBook is now live!
I can't believe I have my own book, something for the world to experience with me! The past few days have been insane!
I created this book for anyone who has experienced that 'feeling' about music. It's the book you can go to when you need help understanding music jargon, it covers all the terms required in studio recording, sound creation and manipulation exams - as well as for professional musicians, those learning the fundamentals of acoustics, live sound and audio production. It will also be a useful quick reference book for concert-goers, CD-collectors, music journalists and radio listeners.
A-Z entries range across a spectrum of subjects, among them: acoustics, auxiliary sends, balance, bass response, BPM, clipping, decibel, equalisation, frequency, fidelity, gain, hertz, impedance, MIDI and many more.
It is your guide, your key to understanding music industry etymology. A must have, for all aspiring music technologists.
For everyone who has shared, liked, and pre-ordered 'Phase Cancellation Coffee's Guide to Music Technology', I cannot thank you enough for your support. I've had a lot of happy tears the last 24 hours.
I am beyond grateful, thank you.

Car cultures around the world: Texas, USA
April 11, 2016 by Bart Demandt 1 Comment
In our series of car cultures around the world/international street scenes we've taken a virtual tour to Morocco, Africa, Monaco, Europe, Nagoya, Japan, Bali, Indonesia and Singapore, now we'll cross the Pacific and the US West Coast to land in Texas. And the automotive landscape in Texas is exactly as you'd imagined: lots of huge SUVs and pick-up trucks, one bigger than the other but all big enough to dwarf a Range Rover. Gasoline is cheap, roads are wide and straight and towing a big trailer, boat or caravan happens in a few occasions, but mostly they're just big "because we can".
As a result of this preference for bulky trucks and SUVs, the domestic US brands are more popular in Texas than in other parts of the United States, most notably the import-dominated East Coast (especially New York City) and West Coast (especially California). What did strike me in regards to import brands was the relative large number of midsized body-on-frame trucks like the Nissan Xterra and Toyota 4Runner, I'd almost say I saw one of each in just about every street of Austin. The Toyota FJ Cruiser must have also been popular in Texas, but not as extremely as in Dubai, UAE as you'll see in the next report of this series. Other import models with an over-representation in Texas are the Nissan Pathfinder and the Infiniti QX80, and of course the Toyota Tundra full-sized pick-up truck. Sedans like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, among the best sellers in the nation, are much less omnipresent than in the rest of the country, but still no rarities. [Read more…]

Car cultures around the world: Singapore
March 10, 2016 by Bart Demandt Leave a Comment
So we've taken a virtual tour to Morocco, Africa, Monaco, Europe, Nagoya, Japan and Bali, Indonesia, and we'll stay in Asia once again, visiting Singapore. Although not that very far from Indonesia on the map, the car culture in Singapore almost couldn't be more different than that of Bali. Gone are all the small motorbikes and in are supercars. That's right, the Singapore streets look more like those of Monaco with all the supercars and luxury cars showing off
This is not only because Singapore is one of the wealthiest countries in Asia – and in fact the world- but also because they have quotas on the number of new cars that can be registered each year. On top of these quotas, new car buyers need to get a Certificate of Entitlement from the government, which gives them the right to register, own and use a vehicle in Singapore for a period of 10 years. Because these COEs have to be acquired through an auction, prices rise when demand is high. As a result, the cost of acquiring a COE can be as high as the price of the car itself, therefore favoring the wealthy, whom are more likely to buy luxury cars. Because the certificate is valid for 10 years, after which a car needs to be exported or scrapped, you won't find many old cars on the roads of Singapore either. [Read more…]

Car cultures around the world: Bali, Indonesia

In our series of car cultures around the world/international street scenes, after Morocco, Africa, Monaco, Europe and Nagoya, Japan, we'll stay in Asia for a bit to observe the car culture of Bali, the Indonesian "Bounty Island". The streets of Bali are actually flooded with small motorbikes, but I've still managed to find a few cars among those thousands of bikes. Don't forget to check out my videos at the bottom of the page!
Daihatsu Gran Max Luxio MPV, 2 generations of Toyota Vios Taxi and Suzuki APV
And then I noticed that the Balinese are very single minded when it comes to their cars, as there's not a lot of variation on the road. If I had to estimate, I'd say that 80% of the cars on the island are within a handful of models, which are the Toyota Avanza and its clone Daihatsu Xenia (4 out of 10 cars are one of these two), Toyota Kijang Innova, Suzuki APV, Daihatsu Gran Max in both the Luxio MPV version as the utilitarian and pick-up versions, Toyota Ayla minicar and its clone Daihatsu Agya, and Toyota Vios, which is the standard taxi in Bali.

Car cultures around the world: Nagoya, Japan
December 28, 2015 by Bart Demandt 3 Comments
In our series of car cultures around the world/international street scenes, after Morocco, Africa and Monaco, Europe we're going to yet another entirely different car culture: that of Japan. And the streets of Japan are filled with models you won't find anywhere else, it's an entirely different sight from the rest of the world.
Suzuki Lapin and Suzuki Alto Kei cars, Honda Vamos Kei firetruck
For starters, there are the dozens of "Kei" cars and trucks. These are tiny cars that get certain tax benefits in Japan, but are limited in size, engine displacement and power: 3,4 meters in length (11.2 ft) and no more than 1,48 meters wide (4.9 ft), with an engine of 660 cc pumping out 47 kW (64 hp) max. More than 40% of the new cars sold in Japan falls within these limits, which calculates to more than 2 million Kei cars a year, which is more than all the cars sold in France in a year. Some of these vehicles have been exported to Europe and other countries, although they mostly featured larger engines for export markets. The only foreign manufacturer to ever have sold a Kei car in Japan was Smart, which in the early 2000's made a special version of its Fortwo to fall within these limits, but it sold poorly.

Car cultures around the world: Monaco
December 22, 2015 by Bart Demandt Leave a Comment
In our series of car cultures around the world/international street scenes we move from the car culture in Morocco to that of Monaco, the wealthy principality on the other side of the Mediterranean, the contrast couldn't be bigger. Whereas the streets of Morocco are filled with cheap and practical transportation, sometimes decades old, living a tough but grateful life as daily workhorses, the cars in Monaco serve a much different purpose. The densely populated city-state which is enclosed by France and the Mediterranean Sea covers only 2 square kilometers (0.78 sq. Mi) and is built on a hillside. That means it doesn't really make sense for its inhabitants to drive supercars, hypercars and top-of-the-line sports versions of regular cars, but that's exactly what they're doing.

Car cultures around the world: Morocco, Africa
This is the first installment of our series of car cultures around the world/international street scenes.The kind of cars the people of Morocco drive can be described very simply: all types of Renault with a number instead of a name, Peugeots from the -04 and -05 series, and increasingly so from the -06 series, and Mercedes-Benz from the same era (1970's, 80's and 90's), preferably with a Diesel engine. Of the modern cars, by far the most are either French or Dacia, most notably in the bodystyle what the French call "Fourgonette", the archetypical Boulangerie-van like the Citroën Berlingo and Renault Kangoo, both in passenger and cargo versions. Add a handful of South-Korean and Chinese models to the mix and you'll have a pretty accurate picture of what the streets of Casablanca, Marrakech or Agadir look like.

Vinko Milić (Split, 22. siječnja 1833. – Split, 22. travnja 1910.), hrvatski političar i publicist.

Životopis

Rodio se u pučkoj obitelji u Velom Varošu. Osnovnu i srednju školu završio je u rodnom Splitu, a pravo na sveučilištima u Padovi i Grazu. Po završetku studija radio je u raznim mjestima Dalmacije, a početkom 60-ih godina 19. stoljeća u riječkom županijskom sudu.

Godine 1861. sukobio se s Niccolom Tommaseom u spisu A Niccolo Tommaseo i dalmato-slavi ossia i quesiti di patrio interesse u kojem osporava Tommaseove misli i ideje. Za razliku od Tommasea koji se zalagao za autonomiju Dalmacije, smatrajući da bi bilo štetno njeno povezivanje s Hrvatskom, Milić je tvrdio da je Dalmacija uvijek bila dio Hrvatske, te da su razlike između Dalmacije i Hrvatske nametnute stoljetnom odvojenošću, a ne razlikom među narodom koji je isti.

Pisao je članke i u zagrebačkom Pozoru, karlovačkom Glasonoši i tršćanskom Diavolettu, te u časopisu Znakovi vremena u kojem napada tadašnji bečki centralizam, iznoseći ideju potrebe federalizacije monarhije te ne štedeći ni vladara Franju Josipa, ni bana Šokčevića, ni kasnije Raucha, zbog čega se protiv njega pokreću disciplinski postupci kod tadašnjeg Banskog stola i suda sedmorice. Ti sukobi traju do 1868. godine kada se Milić vraća u Dalmaciju.

U Dalmaciji najprije obnaša dužnost kod pokrajinskog suda u Zadru, zatim u Budvi, nakon čega postaje gradski sudac u Splitu, da bi od 1886. godine postao predsjednik Okružnog suda u Dubrovniku. Uživao je veliki ugled kod Dubrovćana, pa je izabran u Dalmatinski sabor. Nakon umirovljenja vraća se u Split gdje je 1900. izabran za načelnika i na toj dužnosti ostaje šest godina. Građani Splita također ga biraju u Dalmatinski sabor u kojem je predsjednik kluba hrvatske stranke.

Početkom 20. stoljeća Milić je, zajedno s Franom Supilom, Antom Trumbićem i Čingrijom jedan od tvoraca politike novoga kursa i Riječke rezolucije.

Zea mays. Flint. 85 days.
This has become the corn of legends. Perfect for our taste buds and Pacific Northwest climate, it is difficult to describe without sounding overzealous. Not only does this variety produce the tastiest polenta and cornmeal we have ever tried, but it was bred just across the valley from us by our friend Carol Deppe in Corvallis, Oregon. An 8-12 row flint corn related to Abenaki and Byron flint. It brings the best traits from both combining the general awesomeness of Abenaki minus the pale yellow ears, and from Byron, the wonderful gold-orange color and excellent husk coverage. Ears are smaller than Abenaki. Throw in some more genius selection by Carol and you get a flint corn that makes bright gold polenta with pretty red flecks that quickly becomes a hot seller at market. Each plant will produce one of many options of single color ears ranging from bright-yellow, maple-gold, red-orange to deepest red. Separate out the colors for cooking and get a range of delicious and distinct flavors from one crop. Find out more in Carol's book The Resilient Gardner.
We LOVE this corn! It grew well in spite of our neglect!! We have never tasted corn that was so far from bland! Highly recommend it!
How tall do the stalks grow? I'm interested in how useful they would be as a bean trellis.
We have seen them grow as tall as 6 feet. Therefore good for a bean trellis, but not super tall. Open Oak Party Mix Dent Corn grows taller and would make a better trellis for tall pole beans.
