Adventure Time Went Out With an Epic, Emotional Finale
Showrunner Adam Muto offers a spoiler-filled breakdown of the series finale and whether the show can continue in another form
Kate Kulzick Aug. 29, 2018, 5:00 p.m. PT
Editor's Note: This story has been updated to include spoilers.
[Warning: The following contains spoilers for the series finale of Adventure Time. Read at your own risk!]
After 10 seasons, Adventure Time came to an end with an epic, four-part finale, "Come Along with Me," on Monday, Sept. 3 on Cartoon Network. The series that began as the simple tale of a boy, Finn, and his magical stretchy dog, Jake, grew into a complex universe of characters and worlds with a history that stretches over eons, tackling issues like identity, abandonment and trauma right alongside celebrations of whimsy, joy and silliness.
In its final season, Adventure Time saw war brewing in the Land of Ooo, with Princess Bubblegum's evil Uncle Gumbald leading a rogues' gallery of villains against Princess Bubblegum in an attempt to take over the Candy Kingdom, with Finn and Jake desperate to avoid a war and working to defuse the situation.
TV Guide talked to showrunner Adam Muto about the end of the long-running series, which featured a few exciting cameos and returns, and about whether or not the show could ever come back.
How did it feel to say goodbye to these characters and this rich world?
Adam Muto: Ithink whenever a show ends, it's gonna feel bittersweet, but for me it was over a couple months ago. So, I've had time to process it a bit more, but I still don't really know how it feels. You'll have to ask me in another year what it feels like, 'cause [the finale] still hasn't actually aired. Once the finale airs, I think a lot of people on the show feel like it will be the real release and ending, and then you can process it. I know some people, like some of the board artists, they need the last episode to air just so they can be free of it, 'cause it's still at the back of their heads; it takes up this mental space. So I don't know yet. I'll find out in a couple weeks.
Watch a Teaser for Adventure Time's Epic Series Finale
Was the finale something that you guys were writing toward for a while?
Muto:
Elements of it, definitely. There are some questions that were brought up in Season 1 and, of course, Season 3, and then kind of building on those. But because it's a season-to-season show -- that's how we found out when we got pickups -- we couldn't aim the entire show toward that. But definitely this last season, there was a feeling that different threads were gonna have to either come together or be left mysterious. So that was kind of the process as we approached the last episode, how many of those to pay off and how many of those to not try to be too neat with.
How did you decide which characters you wanted to give resolution to in the finale and which you would leave up to fans' imaginations?
Muto: Definitely Simon and Ice King sort of as a question, because that had been set up over multiple episodes -- would he ever be cured -- so that felt like something that needed to be addressed, and along with that, sort of what happened to Betty. And then the Princess Bubblegum and Marceline stuff, finding a way to resolve that, or at least have a satisfying scene with that. It was sort of just what was set up, I think.
A lot of the episodes leading up to [the finale], we were trying to use to serve as the last episode for that particular character so we wouldn't have to cram too much in at the very end here. So there are scenes, but we already had our last major Lumpy Space Princess episode by the time we get to the end, and our last Flame Princess episode, so it was actually less dense by the end than it might seem. It was just sort of hitting the big [beats] and then finding vignettes for all the characters that we knew we wouldn't be able to give full stories to just so we could get snapshots of where they could end up.
There are lots of returns and cameos in the finale. Is there one in particular that you were excited to fit in?
Muto: Yeah, well especially in that montage at the end. There are some scenes throughout where unexpected characters show up, like Duke of Nuts is a Season 1 character, and for him to show up in Season 10 not having shown up the intervening seasons was kind of a funny inclusion. And Shelby and the Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant kind of get cameos. But a lot of them, the weirdest ones show up in the montage at the end, 'cause we knew we'd try to capture what life going on would be like in Ooo, so I wanted to get a good variety of sort of momentous changes and then just very almost banal days in some of these characters' lives. So we did a pass and added scenes with the Jiggler, and that's also a Season 1 character, and Donny, and the Crabbit, a lot of characters that we hadn't seen in a while but we kind of assumed their lives continued too. Tiffany, that was another one, because it was really left ambiguous what happened to Tiffany in the last Tiffany episode, so I was happy to slip him in there.
Adventure Time is a deeply emotional and sometimes challenging series. Was it important to you to push viewers outside their comfort zone with the finale?
I don't think that was a goal going into the finale, it was just sort of... The show can be thorny at times, so [we] kind of lean[ed] into those elements, but there wasn't any section to me that was like, "This is really gonna make people uncomfortable." It was more, we have this kind of tradition of doing these dream episodes, so it would be nice if there was a section dedicated to dreams, and that might be a more satisfying way to resolve the conflict rather than just have two armies fight each other. That was kind of the set up, but it was nice to use that more as a backdrop as opposed to characters running at each other. But I don't know -- was there a specific scene you were thinking of?
Destroying the treehouse? That was traumatizing!
Muto: [laughs] You know, it's the end of the show. That was important, actually, to kind of feel like we were --- we weren't going to kill off Finn and Jake, obviously, but that symbolized so much, there are so many episodes that begin with establishing shots of the treehouse that we felt like we had to do some major change, and that is the biggest death in the finale, watching the treehouse just get smashed because of all of the memories. And then you see wreckage and it's artifacts from other episodes and hopefully Jake's reaction is like what people's reactions will be when they see that, because you're not supposed to do that, you're not supposed to completely shatter it. It also makes it hard to reboot, I think. Show's over, the treehouse is gone. But life goes on. This part of their lives is over.
Music plays a big role in the finale. Was that a priority, continuing the show's tradition of original music?
Muto: Yeah, that was an important part. The speech at the end that Jake gives to Finn, that was something that [show creator Pendleton Ward] felt really strongly about, getting that idea in there. Even that scene, ending it with them staring at the sky on this endless grassy field talking about music was something we kind of settled on while we were writing early, but that was really important to Penn, so I was happy that we managed to work that in in a way that didn't feel wedged in. It was like, yes, the episode is kind of about that. There's even a song during the dream sequence where there's a poodle that shows up and that poodle is played by his mom, Betty Ward, and it seems like a very strange inclusion, and it is, but it's also this distracting moment, like music is used to at least get people to escape and chill out for a second. So I don't know if the finale is actually about music, but music was really an important part of it, to it.
What do you hope fans and new viewers will take away from the finale and the series as a whole?
Muto: Wait, new viewers? Does anybody do that, [watch the finale first]? I hope nobody does that. They'll just be like, "What is this? I don't understand any of these reference points." But it's weird, you could almost start [with the finale]. The way the episode starts, it almost feels like a new show, because we did have a new title sequence that was animated by Science Saru, and they've done all the special intros. That was kind of a mislead that this could be an all-new show and the original Adventure Time is sort of their mythology, and so you see glimpses of it, but Shermy and Beth could be its own thing. And it's the kind of show that there is a cyclical nature to especially how we treated Ooo. Things do repeat and there are analogs that show up age to age, and that's why the fun will never end. Not because literally the same characters, you're following them and they're doing the same thing forever, but the patterns and the roles that the characters will take on will sort of recur through the history of that world. ... I hope nobody, I hope nobody watches it [that way]. I really -- ugh, that would be my nightmare, if this was the first episode somebody watched.
Are there plans to return to Ooo somewhere down the line on TV, either with a spin-off, sequel series, the comics, or in a different medium?
I think definitely the comics are gonna keep going, but they're just different iterations and it's Cartoon Network's call what will happen with it. Once you put it out there, once [Adventure Time] became a franchise, we all realize it's its own thing now, it's this big multi-headed monster and all we can really do is affect our specific part of it, and that was the show. I think it will continue in some form, but I have no idea what that is. As far as I'm concerned, this version of it has its ending and that's pretty important. I wouldn't want to step on that.
Have you thought about what comes next, beyond some more well-deserved time off?
Yeah, it's tricky because I've been on this show so long and it had so much possibility, it could be a lot of shows to me. It spoiled me in a lot of ways. The next show has to be wildly different or even better and it's made me a little gun-shy about committing to one of those. So far I've just been helping out on other shows. We'll see, we'll see what the next big thing is.
Yeah, it's a tall order if you're trying to top yourself. It'll certainly be interesting to follow, as a viewer.
Maybe it won't, maybe it'll be downhill from here, and this is it.
Well, hey, if that's the peak, it's a good peak.
Gotta appreciate it. Yeah, I'll take that.
Adventure Time is available to stream on Hulu, but beginning Tuesday, Sept. 4 fans can also purchase on DVD Adventure Time: The Final Seasons, which features a ton of exclusive bonus content. The show's soundtrack, featuring more than 20 songs from the finale, will also be available on Sept. 4.

Coked Up Europe: Increase in cocaine traffic, more players and violence, but 'Ndrangheta remains key
Posted by Gangsters Inc. on September 28, 2021 at 7:20
By David Amoruso for Gangsters Inc.
Cocaine is more popular than ever before, no matter the harm and violence. In Europe organized crime groups, in particular the 'Ndrangheta, jumped into the lucrative market. New rivals emerged, but crime expert Anna Sergi expects the Calabrian Mafia to continue to be one of the premier players connecting supply with demand.
A report published this month by Europol and UNODC titled "Cocaine Insights: The illicit trade of cocaine from Latin America to Europe - from oligopolies to free-for-all?" shed some new light on the current cocaine market in Europe and came to some interesting conclusions.
More coke, easier access, points of entry in northern Europe
Investigators found a significant increase in the cocaine supply to Europe and increased accessibility to the drug for European consumers. Furthermore, the report notes, "the epicenter of the cocaine market in Europe has shifted northwards. The increased use of containerized shipments relying on the high-volume ports of Antwerp, Rotterdam and Hamburg has consolidated the role of the Netherlands as a staging point and led to continental Europe's North Sea coast overtaking the Iberian peninsula as the primary point of entry for cocaine reaching Europe."

Gangsters Inc. sat down with organized crime expert Anna Sergi to get her insights on the report. She holds a PhD in Sociology, with a specialization in Criminology, from the University of Essex, where she currently is a Senior Lecturer. She specializes in organized crime and comparative criminal justice and, more recently, drug importations through seaports about which she authored various books and reports, including "The Port-Crime Interface: A Report on Organised Crime and Corruption in Seaports".
With this shift northward when it comes to entry points, we asked her: what changed? "I think you always have to look at both sides," Sergi says. "What happens at the production side and what happens over here. It's all about doors [points of entry]. You need to understand where the doors have changed. The door did not change at Rotterdam or Antwerp. They have always been welcoming of the tons of containers coming in. So if something has changed it has to have changed at a different node in the supply chain."

If traffickers find a secure port in Brazil, for instance, one that has a good reputation among customs agents, they will use that one to traffic their shipment to a similar port with a low risk of detection, like Antwerp, Sergi explains. Crime groups are constantly changing their ways to evade seizures, but it does not necessarily mean something changed at the ports that are now flooded with drugs.
Port corruption
The most important thing to safely smuggle drugs across borders is a corrupt contact, preferably more than one. In that sense, times have changed for the better for drug traffickers everywhere. Sergi: "There are so many social drives behind why people take a bribe. The question is not whether it is happening, the question is why wouldn't it happen? It is a very low risk activity that offers a high reward."
"You take a bribe to look the other way and many people have good reasons why they do it, so they fool themselves into committing the crime. The risk of being caught is really low, while ever increasing volumes of illicit trade are coming in offering lucrative opportunities."
READ: Profile of Greek crime boss "The Greek Escobar" Angelopoulos
Sometimes they don't even know they are being corrupted. "If you work in a port, you will meet various people connected to your job and others who are not. You might not even know what they do for a living. They might invite you to dinner or lunch, maybe to do a workout at the gym. It doesn't really matter what they do, but it is all to build up trust between you and them. Then they might ask you for something completely silly. So you do it because you don't see a problem with that. Then you end up giving them information that you shouldn't be giving away."
The thing about port security is that it is such a specialist field. The port economy is driven by rules, procedures, and regulations that seem like an alien language, Sergi explains. "Someone who wants to navigate the ports needs a translator to guide them through."
"You need someone that actually tells you that in the port of Gioia Tauro in Calabria, Italy, we have software that if you press this it does that. Traffickers need to have the knowledge of how the actual port works. Even if you have someone on the inside it doesn't mean that you have the right person."
'Ndrangheta gives up market share to kingpins from Albania and Balkans
The Europol and UNODC investigators that produced the report saw a diversification of the groups involved in trafficking cocaine. "The increased fragmentation of the criminal landscape in Colombia has fostered the formation of new alliances among criminal groups and new opportunities for European criminal networks to establish new contacts with providers in South America," the report reads.
"This diversification has undermined the competitive advantage of the handful of well-established, well-connected criminal networks, such as the Italian 'Ndrangheta, which used to dominate large-scale trafficking across the Atlantic and nevertheless continue their large-scale trafficking activity, in parallel with new networks, contributing to an increased availability of cocaine in the European consumer market."
The report adds, that some newer groups, "notably Albanian-speaking and Western Balkan criminal networks, have become especially prominent in procuring large quantities of cocaine directly at source – cutting out the middleman."
The 'Ndrangheta as a brand name
What to make of this decline of the 'Ndrangheta? "I don't like to speak about the 'Ndrangheta as a unique thing, which embodies one entire organization, because it's not," Sergi says. "There are different clans and each has different capacities. Not everyone can come back from a setback, not every clan is so strong, some of them are struggling."
READ: Fat Joe Versace and the Calabrian Mafia: A Murder in Australia
Still, even when clans are struggling, they can always depend on their name and reputation as being part of the 'Ndrangheta to fall back on during hard times. Having established themselves as a trustworthy business partner, many 'Ndrangheta clans and figures have already moved on from solely trafficking drugs to functioning as brokers between the cartels and other parties.
"It's part of the game," Sergi says. "You become good at what you do, so why on earth would you only work for certain groups if you can make more money working with others as well? Think of Roberto Pannunzi, he was officially a broker for the 'Ndrangheta, but later worked for whoever. And there are more like him."

Take, for instance, the Albanians. "For a long time, we have been hearing about the Albanians controlling the drug market and overtaking the traditional Mafia. But it doesn't really matter, they've always worked together. They will keep working together, because they have the same brokers."
As an example, Sergi points out Operation Magma, which targeted the Bellocco and Pesce 'Ndrangheta clans. "An Albanian man was arrested in Albania and the newspaper reported wrongly that he was a 'Ndrangheta member. He wasn't, of course. What he was, was a broker who worked for the clans in Calabria and for an Albanian group. That gives you an idea of the partnership between these groups."
Sergi: "What I think happened, essentially, is that these brokers, the large key figures in the market of cocaine, found themselves in the best position ever to expand and create more business by allowing newcomers into the market. It has been underway for quite a while now."
Mafia drug cartels
In the cut-throat world of global drug trafficking not all parties will come out as winners, but this increase in activity does offer plenty of new opportunities for those willing to work together. Sergi: "Some of these traffickers will shake hands with the right people and try to create a new type of cartel form or arrangement in a certain area, which gives them an advantage."
Such a partnership was formed in recent years by Camorra boss Raffaele Imperiale, Moroccan-Dutch crime boss Ridouan Taghi, Irish boss Daniel Kinahan and Bosnian boss Edin Gačanin. The four men established their group as one of the 50 most powerful drug cartels in the world, according to the DEA.
The Europol UNODC report specifically mentions the 'Ndrangheta and its position in the world of drug trafficking. Whether up or down, the Calabrian 'Ndrangheta and other Italian Mafia groups are in an advantageous position thanks to their origin. "What sets them apart from other groups is their resilience," Sergi says. "They can always retire for a little while and come back, because they have the strength, money, and territorial power to do that."
READ: Los Castañas: Two brothers and Spain's most notorious drug cartel
Some of the bigger clans can even get rich off of their name and reputation alone. Sergi: "Some of the 'Ndrangheta clans in Italy are already acting as guarantors for other smaller clans." That way they still get a slice of the pie without being fully involved in the trafficking.
"The Mancuso clan is particularly good at that. They just invest money and act as guarantor for some of the smaller clans to enter the drug supply chain. These smaller clans don't have their reputation, even if they can claim they're 'Ndrangheta no one knows them. But the link with a bigger clan opens the doors for them."
Stopping the flow of drugs
With all these open doors can anything be done to close them? "I can come up with all the suggestions there are [on how to combat drug trafficking], but there is one rule of the game which cannot be changed: supply and demand. This leads to another rule: the more security you put in place the more displacement [of the exit and entry points] there will be."
Living and working in the United Kingdom, Sergi has closely followed the impact of Brexit on illicit smuggling on the island. She noticed two trends she herself had predicted in her publications. These trends relate to small boats and small ports. "Small boats are a logical step. Containers can only arrive at a port capable of handling such volume. So it might make more sense if you unload the container at some point and then you move towards different locations via smaller boats. Using these smaller vessels you can enter at smaller ports where none or very lax security measures are installed."
READ: The first chapter of the new book Dock Boss: Gang Rule – A Longshoreman's story
The current security measures are by no means airtight, though. Sergi thinks ports rely too much on formal checks in which it is all about the correct paperwork. They also place too much focus on shipments coming in, while almost ignoring traffic going out of their port.
"Most of the time it relates to waste trafficking and waste disposal," she explains the security gap. "It's a big massive elephant in the room [when discussing port security]. But that's because in Europe no one care if a container goes from Italy to Morocco, to be really blunt. That's why we are dumping things we shouldn't be dumping in Africa and why containers filled with used condoms were shipped from the United Kingdom to Romania."
Add to this Western countries focus on anti-terrorism and it is clear why so many tons of cocaine manage to go from point A to point B.
"Be chaotic"
Are there no ways to stop the flow then? Sergi: "A retired Canadian border official told me: 'The only way we can actually make a difference as a border force is to be chaotic.' It's to be unpredictable, one person has one task on that day and another the day following. You create more chaos and you mix things up. But they can't do that, because they are the Canadian border force. They have protocols and regulations. Like pretty much everyone in this business."
"Organized crime can create chaos and can change the rules," Sergi continues. "We can't. We are always running behind. We can put all the security in place, but by the time you do that there will be new ways of bringing the stuff in. We can pretend that we can do whatever we want, but as long as there is demand, organized crime will supply it."

Megxit - Harry and Meghan Move to Canada
By MakupsonHoward Law
Henry Charles Albert David was born on September 15, 1984. He is known to the world as Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex. He is a member of the British royal family and is sixth in line to the throne. He is the second son of Charles, Prince of Wales and Diana, Princess of Wales. Diana wanted Harry and his older brother William to understand more about life than just the royal family, so she would take them to places like McDonalds fast-food restaurants, amusement parks such as Walt Disney World in Florida, and more serious trips to AIDS clinics and homeless shelters.
Princess Diana was one of the most photographed persons in the world in the 1980s and 1990s. She was known for her beauty, her fashion sense, her mothering of her children, and especially for her humanitarian efforts. She and Charles divorced in 1996, and her life became even more of a media frenzy. She was killed in a car accident in 1997 while trying to get away from the hordes of press trying to photograph her in France. Prince Harry was 12 years old when his mother died and he was devastated.
Meghan Markle is an American television actress, born (August 4, 1981) and raised in Los Angeles, California. Her mother is a former social worker and yoga instructor living in the Southern California area and is African American. Her father is a retired photography director and television lighting director living in Rosarito, Mexico and is Caucasian. Her parents divorced when she was six years old. She met and began dating Prince Harry in 2016. In 2017, they announced their engagement to the world, and married in a ceremony seen 'round the world in 2018. In May of 2019, they had a child and named him Archie Mountbatten-Windsor.
From the beginning of Harry and Meghan's romance, the media – especially the British media – focused on their relationship. Harry, having been in the public eye all of his life, was used to the media presence -as well as the British press's invasion of privacy. Meghan, even though an actress in a popular American television series (Suits 2011-2017), was not used to such an invasion of her personal life. Also, she was shunned by many in the media and outlying royal family because of her race. According to celebrity website TMZ, Meghan was fed up with the press and its constant invasion of privacy; both hers and her baby's. She and Harry decided to remove themselves from their royal life and live in Canada where they would have more privacy.
If they had moved to California, they would have had more privacy too. In 2014, California instituted a new law preventing photographers from photographing the children of celebrities. The law includes "conduct occurring during the course of any actual or attempted recording of the child's image or voice by following the child or lying in wait and without consent of the parent." The law is meant to prevent children from being the object of tabloid fodder and harassment.
The first offense is punishable by up to a year in jail and a fine of $10,000. The second offense is punishable with a minimum five-day sentence and a fine of $20,000. The third offense is punishable with a 30-day sentence and a fine of $30,000. The parents of the child can also sue the photographer in civil court for damages.
Note, however, the law also states that distribution of a child's image does not violate the law, but rather it is the act of creating it that violates the law.
Celebrities,


Hey, saw this online last night, and I know I've seen a few others looking for something like this. It's a real simple modification to an oscillating spindle sander that sets it up for use with a template. I'm going to give it a try.
Cool! Thanks for passing that along. I don't do any fancy riser work, but was just thinking it would be nice to speed up the process, accurately.
If there was an award for the best/most helpful post of the Month/Year I would vote for this one! I have also been trying to figure out how to do this without destroying my oscillating drum sander. It is so simple I'm surprised that I hadn't figure it out.
If I'd known that I would live this long I'd have taken better care of myself.
I know. I was in the middle of getting ready to be getting started on the edge sander mod adding a new table and having the drive drum flattened. I switched gears and ordered stuff from amazon to make this happen. I'm pumped.
so after the extra spacer and the bearing he obviously had to shorten the rubber cylinder and the sanding sleeve accordingly, otherwise it would have been above the thread at the top of the shaft.
i opted to remove the oscillating function from my spindle sander when i did mine- as i was concerned about the movement damaging the super thin fades on my risers.
i have since heard from other folk that the oscillation didnt damage their fades.
not disputing their findings at all, i think i would just feel comfortable without the oscillating feature.
I got a spindle sander awhile back that apparently has the belt that needs to be removed to stop it oscillating. I'm working on this now, though. I started trying to make one for a 3" drum. Got flange bearings with a 1/2" bore and a 1 3/8" OD, dug up a 3" and 1 3/8" hole saw, and cut out of a piece of polyethylene plastic and some mdf. The 3" hole saw made a 3" hole, though, which left my donut a little too small. I'm doing a 2" drum now with a 2 1/8" hole saw.

The 3" hole saw made a 3" hole, though, which left my donut a little too small. I'm doing a 2" drum now with a 2 1/8" hole saw on a rigid oscillating belt/spindle combo. The exact sizing is going to take some tweaking. I don't understand why none of the sanders come with the option to turn off the oscillating feature. I understand it's integrated in the drive system, but it seems like they'd install a way to disengage the belt at least.
looking good mike- cant wait to see it working!!
to disengage the oscillating feature on your "shop series" is a tad more than just removing a belt- if its anything like mine- looks to be exactly the same machine- just different colour.
I would like to know how to disengage on the other machine. I think the same sander is branded 3 or 4 different names. That setup is slick! Where did you get the insert?
Yep, very good idea. Same method (principle) as a pattern router bit.
Mike- i had a local guy with a lathe turn it up for me.
i selected the 2" as my sleeve of choice- and built the collar to suit- it obviously doesnt spin, but then it doesnt wear out against the template either- i drilled the holes for the dust extraction.
i also had to shorten the sleeve about 1/2".
i keep meaning to do a more detailed build along- showing the whole process- just time is in short supply.
to disengage the oscillation- when you open it up- you will see its a pretty smart system.
there are two discs on the shaft, with nodes or bumps on them- they are driven off the same drive but one disc has more teeth on it than the other so it just rotates marginally faster than the other one and as these discs and the shaft spin at your grinding speed- the top disc rotates slightly, very slightly faster than the bottom one- so as these two discs spin, they rotate against each other- and when the nodes align- the rubber sleeve lifts, and when the to discs valleys align with the nodes on the bottom disc, the sleeve descends.
all i did was remove the top disc, and replaced it with a piece of copper pipe as a spacer so the rubber sleeve bottom washer and assembly sat against that . now there are no bumps or valleys to lift and lower the sleeve.
i should have had a better collar turned up- but it was late at night- and it was what was handy- and its worked fine.
you know mike- maybe you are right- maybe if the belt spinning the top disc was removed- it would not spin faster than the bottom one- and the two discs would just mesh into each other- and they wouldnt oscillate.
that may be an option, but i just didnt want the centrifugal force to cause the top disc to move slightly, and to cause any oscillation.
maybe if one could find a way to hold the two discs together- some self tapping screws, or maybe some zip ties- may be worth looking at.

Formed by John LeDrew, Jon Bielecki and Kellen Sorauf, the Colorado Cutthroats were established in 2011 and played their inaugural season in 2012. They are based in Denver, CO and compete in the National Adult Baseball Association.
The team takes its name from Colorado's state fish, the Cutthroat Trout.
In their inaugural season, the Cutthroats didn't fair too well. They finished with a record of 6-11-1, good enough to only beat one team in the standings. They competed in the newly formed 25WA division.
In 2013, the team competed in the 25WA division again and went 6-12. They added their gray Colorado away jerseys.
In 2014, the team competed in 25WA division and went 10-7-1 in the regular season. They made their first postseason appearance as the 4th seed out of the American League. They defeated the top seeded Dirtbags 15-3 to advance to the American League Championship. They would lose that game to the Denver Chill 8-7.
In 2015, the team competed in the 25WA division and went 13-4 in the regular season. They advanced to the postseason for the second straight year as the 2nd seed in the American League. They beat the Dirtbags 13-3 in the first round and then won the American League Championship 24-7 over the Hitmen. They would lose the 25 Wood Championship 11-9 against the Bad News Bears.
In 2016, the team competed in the 25WA division and went 15-3 in the regular season. They had the number one seed heading into the playoffs. They beat the fourth seeded Dirtbags 10-0 to advance to their second consecutive championship. They would fall in to the Snappers 2-1 to get second place.
In 2017, the Cutthroats moved up to the 25W AA division. They played competitively and ended the year at 10-8-1 to take 5th place in the standings. They would just miss out of the playoffs to snap their three year playoff streak.
In 2018, the 25W AA division dissolved so the Cutthroats went back down to 25WA. They finished the regular season at 9-6-1 to qualify for the playoffs as the second seed in the American League. They would lose to the 3rd ranked Colorado Expos 6-5 in the first round.
In 2019, the Cutthroats are competing in the 25W AA division.

£26m broadband network reaches 85,000 across Staffordshire
Fullfibrebuild
Full fibre engineers now starting work in Burton upon Trent, Leek, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Stafford and Uttoxeter
More than 85,000 homes and businesses across Staffordshire can already order some of the fastest, most reliable broadband in Europe thanks to a £26 million investment by Openreach.
And more areas are set to benefit, as engineers are now starting work to extend the full fibre network to most homes and businesses in Burton upon Trent, Leek, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Stafford and Uttoxeter.
Full fibre is up to 16 times faster than the average UK broadband connection and around five times more reliable than the old copper-based network it's replacing.
Kasam Hussain, Openreach's Partnership Director for the Midlands, said: "Research shows that this new network will give businesses an edge and provide families and home-workers with future-proof connectivity, no matter what life throws at us next.
"Our investment across Staffordshire continues at pace, and we're determined to deliver a great service which helps this community thrive and supports people to work from home easily, keep in touch with their loved ones and build connections and opportunities.
"Gigabit-capable broadband can have a huge impact on people's lives and it's great for the economy, but upgrades aren't automatic. People need to place an order with their chosen providers to get connected and we'll do the rest. Our network offers the widest choice of providers such as BT, Sky, TalkTalk, Vodafone and Zen - which means people have lots of choice and can get a great deal.
"Even if you already have a decent enough service, it's worth checking if you can upgrade, because full fibre is the future, and it provides the best broadband experience at great value for money. There'll be no more worrying that your video call might freeze, or your files are failing to upload when everyone's at home competing for bandwidth at the same time."
A report by the Centre for Economics & Business Research (Cebr) shows that connecting everyone in the West Midlands to Full Fibre broadband would create a £4.5 billion boost to the local economy, by unlocking smarter ways of working, better public services and greater opportunities for the next-generation of home-grown businesses.
Openreach has worked closely with Staffordshire County Council for many years, particularly their Highways department, and as partners in the county council's broadband programme.
Staffordshire County Council's cabinet member for environment, infrastructure and climate change, Simon Tagg said: "It's excellent news that full-fibre broadband roll-out is continuing at pace across Staffordshire and we'd urge people to check availability in their area and get connected. Full-fibre speeds really do make a difference.
"As a result of our work with Openreach, our Superfast Staffordshire programme enabled 97 per cent of county properties to connect to faster broadband speeds and has been a huge success. Full fibre connection is the important next step.
"Faster broadband is an essential for everyone's day-to-day living, enabling people to access health, education, banking and leisure services and more. It is also critical for business operations, growth and increased productivity.
"The county council is now putting in place a long-term digital strategy for Staffordshire. This will focus on gigabit technology provision for all communities, maximising the benefits of 5G roll-out, connecting isolated areas and growing our digital economy."
Openreach has announced plans to invest in Full Fibre broadband for most premises in dozens of towns and villages across Staffordshire, including Audley, Blythe Bridge, Cheadle, Rocester, Shenstone, Trentham, Tutbury, Yarnfield and Yoxall.
It's part of the company's plans to reach 25 million UK homes and businesses by the end of 2026. This short video explains what Full Fibre technology is and you can find out more about Openreach Fibre First build programme here.

Blueye App
Surface Unit Settings (Wi-Fi)
Through the Blueye App, it is now possible to change the Wi-Fi settings on the Surface Unit. If you can't remember the password for Surface Unit, simply press the reset button under the blue rubber lid for 1 sec to reset the password. A 10 sec push will reset all settings on the Surface Unit.
The available settings are:
Operating country
Wi-Fi SSID
WPA key
Wi-Fi frequency
For a more detailed explanation of each of the settings see the bottom section of this article.
Where to find these settings:
Navigate to the Surface Unit settings by tapping the Settings icon on the bottom bar, and tap "Surface Unit Settings" when your device is connected to the Blueye Surface Unit Wi-Fi network.
You can change one or more settings at once by entering the new settings and tapping the "Save and Apply" button. The interface is shown in the figure below.
After "Save and apply" is tapped, your Surface Unit will apply the settings and restart the Wi-fi network. Now your device might automatically connect to your home network since the Blueye network disappears for a short while. If you change password or SSID, you have to enter Settings, and then Wifi on your device and wait for the new network to appear. This can take up to 1 min. The Apply screen is shown below.
Once connected to the new network, jump back to the Blueye App and wait for the complete screen to appear. You have now successfully updated the settings on the Blueye Surface Unit. The complete screen is shown below.
Resetting the Surface Unit to factory settings
To reset the Surface Unit Wi-Fi password to 1234567890, simply push the reset button under the blue rubber lid, between the two antennas, for 1 second. To make a full factory reset push and hold the reset button for 15s while the device is powered on. Once the button is released the LEDs will now blink back and forth while the unit is resetting. The Surface Unit will then reboot automatically with the SSID and password as marked on the back of the Surface Unit.
Explanation of the Surface Unit settings
Network access:
Wi-Fi SSID is the name of the Wi-Fi network and WPA key is the password for the Wi-Fi network. It is recommended to set a new password since all drones have the same password initially (1234567890). This is the simplest way to protect the video files that are stored on the drone, and limit access to who can control the drone since the Blueye app is publicly available. However, you can always click the reset button on the Surface Unit, and it will reset both SSID and WPA key.
Selecting Country:
By setting the correct country you are in, you let the Surface Unit automatically find the allowed and most available channel. The Surface Unit will search for available channels during boot.
Selecting Wi-Fi Frequency and Bandwidth
Wi-Fi frequency has two options; 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. We recommend using 5 GHz for faster transfer speeds while streaming the video. 2.4 GHz does have a longer range, at the cost of lower speed. But if the 5 GHz band is very crowded or you want to maximize the range of the Surface Unit, then you will be better off with 2.4 GHz.
Bandwidth is the width of the frequency band that the Wi-fi signals are using. Selecting 40 MHz will take up more if the available bandwidth for other Wi-Fi networks, but it will give you a more stable and faster network. The 20 MHz option will take up less space but has a slower data transfer rate. If you are diving out in areas away from other Wi-Fi networks, 40 MHz is the recommended setting. See illustration below showing our Blueye Surface Unit in red, with 40 MHz bandwidth and 5 GHz frequency selected, together with other networks in the area.

As quickly as we incorporate technical facility with presumptions, what we encounter is a technically interested culture. What goes after inquisitiveness is trial and error. Cultures with these attributes have the ability to recognize models and also a hands-on strategy. They might be furthermore better forgiving of failing, hold-ups, and errors which can be to be expected in speculative or early-stage modern technology.

If you are searching for Blockchain, Modern technology Providers call us.
A couple of societies might fit with this situation, whilst others extra comfy with the focus of power or additional out of balance characteristics might decline it. Autonomous cultures, conversely, knowledgeable about freedom and power, will include this aspect of the blockchain with little or no concern. Among the standard instances of the blockchain, the application can undoubtedly remain in the American public health care system. Despite rapid breakthroughs in modern technology, the largest obstacle for the majority of individuals of healthcare facilities is their failure to share securely their details, making docs invest even more time keying than having a word with individuals.
Its fostering has actually verified key guarantee in this room what with person prescriptions presenting constant documents of medicines being recommended. Think of start-up practice with adequate task funding and possibilities of crowdfunding to take a look at brand-new innovation can make a substantial distinction to the effective fostering of modern brand-new modern technology like blockchain and also cryptocurrency announcements. Whilst the monetary location has actually encountered the influence of blockchain innovation, its capability in almost every various area is large and prepared to be touched.
The passion to experiment and resistance for threat additionally encompasses the plan setting and policymakers. Sponsorship with federal governments and enabling plans has actually verified to feed mainstream fostering of blockchain in particular nations. if a federal government were to act to systematize this fostering throughout the entire medical care system. The benefits will be huge.
We offer you tailored blockchain application advancement at cost-effective cost Blockchain suggests an amazing structure where nobody individual has the extent to adjust what takes place on it.

Autonomous cultures, on the various another hand, familiarized with freedom and also power, will include this facet of the Bitcoin Cash SV Fork with extremely little difficulty.
Among one of the most traditional situations of the blockchain, application ought to possibly be within the American public medical care system.

Q: AWS Target Group registering 2 targets on same ECS task? We have an ECS task definition that maps host port (0) to container port 3000 to take advantage of dynamic host port mapping with a single target group on an autoscaling ECS service. Things have been working fine, for over a year, but this past week we've starting seeing some issues where the target group will register two "targets" to the same ECS task, without any changes to our infrastructure.
Task Definition Port Mappings:

Running Task. Target Group has registered 2 targets on the same container!

No amount of manual target deregistering/registering has been helping, and the problem persists on any task either manually added or automatically added through an autoscaling policy. We haven't been able to find any documentation on how these targets are registered and why we're getting duplicates. As anyone seen this before? Any help is appreciated.

A: Turns out our ECS agent and docker versions were mismatched. Docker 20.6.1 started mapping to IPv6 ports by default. ECS agent 1.55.3+ adds backward compatibility to the network binding in ECS tasks. We were on 1.55.1 ♂

There are a lot of Drone related projects on Kickstarter now and I've a lucrative idea for a new type of non commercial drone/UAV . I've launched several digital products and services online and can manage the marketing aspect but this would be the first time for me delving into the hardware market. I've an Engineering degree in Electronics but that's not much of a help. I'm pretty sure If I can detail out the specs, the hardware manufacture/setup can be outsourced to the numerous suppliers out there. But before starting a kickstarter campaign for it, I'd like to know the ins and outs of this. Google seems not to be of much help here either. Would love to get your advice on how should I move forward..
One of the best ways is to contact those on your industry and just ask them.
Contact Adam Bry from Skydio. There are working on the technology of the drones (software) so they will probably know a lot of hardware suppliers/companies and it won't be competing with them.
You can even become a client of them in the future!
PS: Also you should check Shenzhen in china where most drones hardware is manufactured.


Pete Huttlinger, 54, passed away Friday, January 15, 2016, at Vanderbilt University Medical Center after suffering a stroke on Monday, January 11.
It is with great sadness the Southern Stars Symphonic Brass learned tonight of the passing of guitar virtuoso Pete Huttlinger. Huttlinger was a friend of the band, and had been a wonderful guest soloist in a recent concert. His musical genius, effortless mastery of his instrument, and his wit that made his stage presence something to be envied will all be greatly missed. The band and its President and Founder, Dwight Wages, extends condolences to Pete's family, loved ones, friends, and fans everywhere. May he rest in peace, and may his music last forever.
He was a 1984 graduate of the prestigious Berklee College of Music, and in 2000 won the National Fingerpick Guitar Championship. Country legend Vince Gill once described as him as "wickedly gifted," and his performances and recordings lived up to that compliment.
Mr. Huttlinger is survived by his beloved wife, Erin Morris Huttlinger (the couple recently co-authored a book, "Joined at the Heart: A Story of Love, Guitars, Resilience and Marigolds"); stepchildren Sean Della Croce and James Della Croce; a brother, Frank Huttlinger, in California; and a sister, Theresa Vigour, in Mississippi.


Singapore as a cosmopolitan island is fast becoming an employment hotspot for people across the globe. Asians, especially from adjoining countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh et al are readily looking for a career in booming economy of Singapore. The prospective candidates therefore are required to brace themselves in advance before heading to this beautiful tiny island for making a living.
What are some of the most essential points about Singapore, its work culture and environment, employment opportunities, the key benefits and the pitfalls that need to be considered before heading to Singapore?
1. It's important to investigate: Research is the key to finding a suitable job in Singapore. Candidates can find this challenging because searching for a job in Singapore while still in your home land is difficult because most recruiters consider only applications from full-time residents only.
On the other hand you need to be aware of the existing or probable job opportunities in your sector. You wouldn't want to land in Singapore only to learn that there are no suitable jobs in the sector you are working in. For a pointer the following sectors in Singapore have good job opportunities: finance & risk management, logistics, media, advertising, healthcare, education etc.
2. Skills & experience matter but not more than networking: Finding a job in Singapore can get a lot easier if you approach through someone who's already working there. Networking holds immense importance therefore while you want to search for a suitable employment in the city. You need to be willing to ask for help and reference continuously. Make sure your "who you know" list is impressive if you are serious about working in Singapore.
3. Strict but fulfilling: It is widely known that working in Singapore can get stressful and at times frustrating. People often work under pressure and tight deadlines to ensure the highest deliverability to their clients. For many of them "time is money" and the employees need to understand that too. The good news is that you can easily get adapted to the work culture. Employees take time off during the lunch break to relax and have food.
4. Great place to eat and shop but pricey too: Singapore is among the best destinations in the world when it comes to food and shopping. Right from the most exciting sea food to the most spicy continental food, Singapore has a lot to offer to foodies. Shopping is fun in Singapore as the city provides some of the greatest brands and the widest range of products. The flip side is you need to have deep pockets to splurge on the shopping malls in the city.
5. Superior lifestyle – but can be stressful: For a majority of expats who are working in Singapore, the lifestyle can get stressful with many not finding enough time for themselves as well as families. The only way to escape the frustration is to life an organised life. Weekend activities often are a good time to get together and unwind with loved ones. The lifestyle is fast-paced in Singapore but it can be enjoyable as well.
So, there you go. With this quick guide you are ready to take on your pursuit of living and working in the wonderful city that is Singapore!

Vincom Joint Stock Company ("Vincom" or, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Group"), the largest real estate company in Vietnam by market capitalisation, is pleased to announce that it has successfully placed its proposed issue of unsecured convertible bonds ("Bonds"), raising gross proceeds of US$185 million to international institutional investors. This convertible bonds issue ("Issue") is Vincom's second convertible bond issue since the US$100 million convertible bond issued in December 2009. The issuer of the convertible bonds may exercise an option within 30 days after the closing date to increase the size of the issue by up to US$65 million. The Issue is expected to close on or about 3 April 2012.
Vincom's Bonds have a five year tenor, providing the Group with long term financing at attractive terms and diversifies its sources of funding. The Bonds are convertible into new ordinary Vincom shares at a conversion price of VND112,200, which represents a 10% premium above the closing price of VND102,000 the closing price on pricing date. The U.S. Dollar-denominated Bonds will bear a coupon rate of 5% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears. Investors in the Bonds will have the option to sell the Bonds back to the issuer in April 2014 by exercising a put option. Subject to certain terms and conditions of the Bonds, the conversion price will be subject to annual conversion price reset on 3 October in each year until 3 October 2016. The conversion price shall not be adjusted to less than 80% of the initial conversion price.
The shares to be issued upon conversion of the Bonds will be listed on the Ho Chi Minh Stock City Exchange, where Vincom's stock is currently traded.
The net proceeds will be used to finance new investment in property developments, working capital and general corporate purposes of the Group.
Credit Suisse (Singapore) Limited ("Credit Suisse") is the sole bookrunner and lead manager for the Issue, which was placed with institutional and sophisticated investors.
Conversion Price Reset: Subject to certain terms and conditions of the Bonds, the conversion price will be subject to annual conversion price reset on 3 October in each year until 3 October 2016. The conversion price shall not be adjusted to less than 80% of the initial conversion price.

Be alerted when Jen Cloher - Jen Cloher (Vinyl LP) is back in stock.
A notification will be sent to when the Jen Cloher - Jen Cloher (Vinyl LP) is back in stock.
The fact that the fourth album from Australian artist Jen Cloher is self-titled speaks volumes. A letter in triplicate addressed to the themes of love, music and Australia, Jen Cloher is the culmination of a period of artistic and personal growth in which the artist took her rightful place as a punk-rock figurehead of Melbourne's famous DIY music scene. Recorded amidst the rolling greenery of South-Eastern Australia and mixed at Jeff Tweedy's famous Loft Studios in Chicago, the songs are split by Courtney Barnett's extraordinary lead guitar and anchored by the rhythm section of Bones Sloane and Jen Sholakis. The end result is bold, assured, and piercingly observed, seeing Cloher face up to painful truths with unwavering honesty and emerge triumphant. On tracks like "Analysis Paralysis" and "Shoegazers" Cloher dissects the complacency of privilege, while on the stirring anthem-to- be "Strong Woman" she looks to her Maori heritage of women warriors, proud that her Mother "wanted respect more than love." This is Cloher at her most incisive and witty, cutting and expressive, and represents possibly her most stunning body of work to date.


We have often observed that, during contract performance, some of the problems that arose were triggered by one of the parties doing a good deed for the other party. Unfortunately, we have observed, good intentions sometimes backfire. This doesn't mean that good deeds should be avoided, only that the risks of them becoming misdeeds instead of good deeds should be assessed before embarking on them. In the spirit of helping others learn from the unfortunate outcomes of attempted good deeds, we offer the following vignettes. The consistent theme that becomes obvious is this: Do not relieve the other contracting party of any of its contractual obligations without first assessing all the risks and consequences that may arise.
A government agency's vessel was undergoing repairs, including hot work in the machinery space. The agency's representative complained to the shipyard that the space was not being adequately ventilated, allowing too much smoke and fumes to impair work and inspections. The shipyard agreed to increase the ventilation as required by the contract, but lacking sufficient equipment, sought to borrow the blowers from the vessel's bosun's locker. The agency allowed the blowers to be used, including the long spiral-wound hoses attached to them.
On the second day of use of the blowers, the sparks from hot work ignited one of those hoses, and the fire spread. The damage to the vessel and project delays were significant. The agency tried to hold the shipyard responsible, since the fire was started by the contractor's hot work. But the shipyard considered the agency responsible, for not having alerted the shipyard to the fact that the hose was flammable, even though the agency knew the hose was going to be used in the presence of hot work. The agency replied by pointing out that the shipyard's fire watch personnel were ill-equipped to snuff out the incipient fire, allowing it to spread. The outcome was the shipyard's (and its insurer's) accepting the cost of repairing the damage, and the owner accepting the loss of the blower and the delay as force majeure.
Next time the agency should simply insist that the shipyard comply with its contractual obligation to supply all the equipment needed for proper accomplishment of the work.
As part of a 12-week vessel modification project, a shipyard was obligated to obtain special materials for integration into a shipboard cargo-handling system. Although the contract was executed about six weeks before the refit period was to commence, the contractor had not placed an order for the materials by the time the vessel arrived. The contractor reported to the vessel owner that it was having trouble securing the materials, and requested the owner to obtain them on the basis that the owner's staff was more familiar with the equipment. The owner's staff then ordered the materials, but the lengthy lead time for their arrival delayed completion of the refit.
The delay would have been avoided if materials had been ordered shortly after contract execution. But in agreeing to relieve the contractor of the obligation to obtain the materials, the owner's staff neglected to address the schedule impacts, resulting in the owner being responsible for the delay. Adding insult to injury, the shipyard sought additional fees for maintaining the vessel at the shipyard extra weeks while awaiting the owner-purchased materials. Next time the owner should monitor the shipyards' pre-arrival purchasing efforts whenever long-lead time materials are an essential part of the contract workscope.
A vessel owner was obligated to deliver to the shipyard's warehouse an overhauled replacement for a dredge's combination pump/motor. The 18-ton replacement unit was located at the owner's warehouse, on the other side of the river from the shipyard.
Shortly before the replacement unit was needed by the shipyard, the owner's staff requested the shipyard to send a truck across the river to the owner's warehouse to pick-up the unit. The shipyard complied. But during transit from the owner's warehouse to the shipyard, a roadway accident caused the truck to roll into a ditch, resulting in damage to the replacement unit. Project completion was delayed more than a week while repairs were made to the unit that had been on that truck.
The owner alleged the shipyard was responsible for not providing appropriate transportation. The shipyard responded that the owner was responsible for the delay since the pump/motor was late in being delivered to the shipyard's warehouse as required by the contract, which had not been amended when the shipyard agreed to send a truck. Next time, the shipyard should politely insist that it looks forward to receiving the owner's equipment at the warehouse, per the contract.

Beatles' legacy celebrated in new film documentary
Beatles tribute bands on the enduring appeal of Liverpool's Fab Four
THE legacy of the Beatles on popular culture is being celebrated in a new digital music documentary being released next week.
Come Together features performances by 10 of an estimated 8,000 international Beatles tribute bands keeping the music of the Liverpool icons alive around the world.
The film, being released as a digital VOD, was the brainchild of documentary makers Steve Ison and John Scofield and was shot primarily in and around Liverpool – including the Cavern Club – during International Beatleweek, five decades after the band was formed in 1960.
It is narrated by John Lennon's half-sister Julia Baird.
And among the bands featured are Pepperland from Sweden – who performed with Mark McGann at the Royal Court last year, the Beatlemaniacs, Indonesia's G Pluck Beatles, The Cavern Beat and American English from Chicago, and Liverpool's Mersey Beatles and all-girl Fab Four band the Beatelles.
IN PICTURES: Beatles Tribute bands
"The idea for the documentary came when I went to Liverpool several years ago with a friend who performed as John Lennon in one of the featured tribute bands," explains Steve.
"I had never seen anything like it! 300,000 people, like me, with the same connection…the music of The Beatles. The quality and diversity of the bands was unbelievable.
"We had to share this story with others."
Come Together is a tribute to The Beatles' legacy, a phenomenon that shows no signs of stopping. The lengths that some tribute groups go to honour The Beatles range from simple vocal harmonies to groups affectionately called 'boots and suits' bands. Regardless of nationality, they attempt to look and sound as close to John, George, Paul, and Ringo as possible.
Liverpudlian Gavin Pring, who plays George in Las Vegas-based The Fab Four, says: "We remind them (the audience) of someone that they can't see any more, especially for the Georges and the Johns in the band.
"I had nine to five jobs. I used to work at Customs and Excise – I was a taxman! And I did other jobs. And I never found a job I actually liked.
"And I realised quite early on of you're in a band and you do a good job, people cheer and you get instant gratification for something.
"They split up with a girl or they met their wife to Something or...one of the songs of the Beatles will have documented a period in their life, and it comes back in a second.
"And whatever it is about what we do, it's their experience that they see, and they can't help it. And they will do anything to grab it, even if it's for a second. That feeling of hope."
The Cavern Club Beatles with John Lennon's sister, Julia Baird, on Liverpool Town Hall balcony
The documentary aims to capture the spirit, motivation, energy, and interpretation of The Beatles' legacy through rare footage, tribute concert performances, interviews, and personal stories by bands and fans alike from across the world.
And after years of negotiation, Sony/ATV Music Publishing gave filmmakers unprecedented permission to use more than 65 Beatles songs in the film.
"I was more than pleasantly surprised by how Come Together captured the spirit and dedication of the bands we continue to bring in each year for our event," says the Cavern's Bill Heckle, executive director of International Beatleweek.
The film's digital VOD release is scheduled for next Tuesday, February 3, via iTunes, Amazon Instant Video HD, PlayStation, Xbox, VUDU, Vimeo on Demand, VHX, Gumroad, Google Play, YouTube Rentals, and others.

It is a natural product obtained by centrifuging blood and separating the plasma from the other cells. The blood comes from each patient; therefore, there is not risk of virus or some kind of infection. The separated plasma is combined with substances that activate and release "growth factors" that are responsible for celular regeneration of the aged tissue.
Plaletet Rich Plasma and growth factors help skin cells to regain their texture and skin quality in order to get back a rejuvenating wrinkle-free skin.
How long to see changes?
Growth factors have their effect on tissue and it takes a few days to regenerate aged skin. Within a week the patient will be able to notice a stronger skin texture and less wrinkles, by the 30th day the regeneration will be completed.
The number of sessions depend simply on the patient´s current skin condition and how aged it is. We recommend about 3 sessions to begin with. Also, we strongly recommend a healthy diet, no smoking and lots of sunblocking cream.
Facial mesotherapy is hardly painful. However, to make the procedure a lot less painful for some patients we use local anesthesia.
Does PRP have advantages over other treatments?
Yes, it does. PRP has no side effects compare to other treatments that use chemicals and can cause to some patients allergic reactions. PRP uses the same patient´s blood; therefore, it is completely risk free. There is absolute no risk of infections or transmission of any type of diseases. This procedure is done by a specialized and certified medical doctor.
Yes, it is. This treament can be done in men and women who present wrinkles or signs of skin aging. PRP does not require any previous preparation and once it is done completely, the patient can go back to work or to whatever activity he or she needs to do. PRP regenerates aged tissue throughout the days being more noticeable after 10 to 20 days from the initial treament.
(This treatment is not recommended for smokers due to the toxicity and the fact that smoking takes away oxygen off our cells, which impedes in this case skin regeneration).
PRP is used in many different types of skin aging and general degeneration due to accidents or simply our regular age cycle. It is commonly used for tissue regeneration, scars, articulation problems, tendons and treatments involving cell regeneration.
Our detoxification therapy is done with detox patches who work by absorbing the toxins from the palm of our feet. To enhance the draniage therapy, we add a homeopathic formula that helps cleaning our body.
It reduces toxic overdose in blood.
It improves blood flow and cardiovascular activity.
It provides energy to our body and mind.
