One for your Christmas list, the new book from Kim Newman
Posted on Wednesday 27th October 2021
From the award-winning author of Anno Dracula comes a masterclass in wit and cinematic vision as the legendary maestro of horror teams together two icons of page and silver screen in a daring and horrifying tale that puts a twist on the genre, as only Kim Newman can. Something More Than Night promises to be a genre-bending horror thriller that brings together two icons of the 1930s.

88Films to release the classic euro horror The Doll of Satan
Posted on Tuesday 26th October 2021
After her uncle dies unexpectedly, Elizabeth Balljanon inherits his sprawling castle. The walls are crumbling, the electricity doesn't work and there's a fully equipped torture chamber in the cellars but interior decoration is the least of her worries: a black-gloved killer haunts the halls at night and, even worse, the tales she's been told about the castle's ghosts might not be stories after all...
Part giallo, part modern-dress Gothic, The Doll of Satan is a gloriously ripe slice of Italian horror, heady with atmosphere and steamy eroticism too. 88 Films has rediscovered this genre gem and given it a superb HD release in the UK for the very first time.

Building a Partner is a Human Investment
Farai Nyabereka, 31, has been made a partner in Zimbabwe's Manokore Attorneys, the first woman to achieve this in the firm and one of only a handful in the southern African country, reports Carol Campbell.
Her appointment reflects a shift in attitude towards women, she says, who have been well represented in the lower rungs of law for some time but who have not been in positions of power.
Farai was the first female lawyer to join the firm as an intern in 2011, coming in to Manokore after graduating with an LLB from Rhodes University in South Africa the previous year.
As partner she heads the firm's Regulatory & Compliance Practice Group, a complex and sensitive portfolio that works to encourage investment in a country that is still emerging from years of economic isolation and political turmoil.
"This is a role I thoroughly enjoy," she says, "mainly because it involves robust and consistent engagement with various government departments and agencies."
These interfaces are invaluable to her as a regulatory lawyer enabling her to 'horizon scan' on various regulatory and legislative developments on a direct basis.
"It also enables me to do a certain amount of policy lobbying."
Her position means she has a constant open communication channel with clients and has developed their trust so that they tend to look to her for all the answers, she laughs.
On a serious note though, she says that regulatory implications on client's organisations and compliance matters are issues that remain sensitive.
On Zimbabwe, Farai is upbeat.
"I've always maintained the view that we have the basic structural tenets and institutional frameworks in place to set our country on the path of recovery," she says.
What is needed now is political will and consensus from all stakeholders on what constitutes the national agenda. She makes no bones about the fact that Zimbabwe requires a significant amount of foreign direct investment and capital to turn the economy around.
"The hallmark indication for me (that things are on the right track) is the significant amendment or removal of the indigenisation policy which severely constrained investment. This is a diagrammatically opposite stance from other African countries that now seem to be pursuing a nationalisation/local ownership agenda. So, we have come full circle I would say."
Farai says that what is needed is to accelerate the working of the Zimbabwe Investment and Development Agency which could be a one-stop shop for investors housing all investment agencies and key government departments.
"Once this is implemented and operating effectively, it will significantly cut down on government bureaucracy and corruption as well as address the problem of policy and messaging inconsistency."
On the role of lawyers in developing a culture of democracy in a country she says that each person in Africa needs to acknowledge their role and responsibility as a citizen of Africa.
"Often I find that lawyers dissociate themselves from issues of governance and policy, but the harsh reality is that we operate in an ecosystem and, if the whole system is broken, we cannot fully realize our potential and the clients we represent cannot thrive."
Lawyers also should never forget the oath they take to uphold the rule of law and advance the administration of justice.
To ensure this happens effectively she advocates for more engagement between the legal profession and the public sector.
"We all have a role to play and the public sector cannot be held accountable if no one from the private sector is contributing meaningfully to national dialogue."
Farai was born in Honde Valley, in the Manicaland Province of Zimbabwe. She was raised by her older brother, Brian, and sister, Pamela, after she was orphaned at age 11.
"My siblings were 21 and 19 at the time but they took on the responsibility of the family retail business and educating me," she said. ''I get their sense of drive and purpose from them.''
When she reflects now on how to support and guide young people as they come into law practice, she says the mentorship role within a law firm has become critical.
"I was fortunate to have had a Managing Partner who believed in my potential and actively invested in me from the time I joined the firm.
Too often law firms make the mistake of viewing the associate pool as 'billables generators' while not recognising that the people make the numbers.''
Her advice is, "Invest in your people and, where possible, implement formal mentorship programmes within the firm…partnership is not an event, it is a process."

Thanksgiving 2018 is coming along just when we need it. The divisions in our diverse society have been growing, in large part because of intemperate political rhetoric which casts those with whom we disagree on matters of public policy as "enemies." and the growth of "identity politics," in which we are asked to identify ourselves by race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation and religion — not view ourselves as individual citizens of a free and democratic society.
There was never a time when the American society was not diverse. By the time of the first census in 1790, people of English origin were already a minority. Enslaved Africans and their American-born descendants, made up 20 percent of the population. There were large clusters of Scotch-Irish, German, Dutch and Scottish settlers, and smaller numbers of Swedes, Finns, Huguenots, and Sephardic Jews.
America has been a nation much loved. Germans have loved Germany, Frenchmen have loved France, Swedes have loved Sweden. This, of course, is only natural. But America has been loved not only by native Americans, but by men and women throughout the world who have yearned for freedom. In the 1840s, Herman Melville wrote that, "We are the heirs of all time and with all nations we divide our inheritance. If you kill an American, you shed the blood of the whole world." America dreamed a bigger dream than any nation in history. The dream remains very much alive, despite the efforts of those who would diminish it. It will survive even the tortured partisanship of the present time.
At a time when intolerance is widely expressed — especially on social media that enables disgruntled and disturbed individuals to connect with one another — we see growing manifestations of hatred and violence. The murder of eleven worshipers at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh is a recent example. The alleged killer is a white nationalist, a neo-Nazi who expressed particular anger at the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), which helps resettle refugees from around the world. HIAS started its work in the 1880s. It says it originally helped refugees because they were Jewish. Now it helps refugees — from Iraq, Syria, Bangladesh, and elsewhere — "because we are Jewish." If the Pittsburgh shooter, who denounced what he called an "immigrant invasion," thinks he was upholding some sort of American tradition, he could not have been more wrong. After all, his own ancestors were immigrants — as were the ancestors of all of us — other than the descendants of those who greeted them.
We will move forward only if we recognize the fragility of a free and democratic society. It can be broken if its genuine uniqueness is not recognized and cherished. Thanksgiving is a time to recall our history and remember our values — and not give assent to those, on both the right and left, who seek only to condemn and divide.
It was with sadness that I learned of the death of George H. W. Bush.
I first met him in the early 1960s when I was in law school. I spent a summer in Houston working as a reporter for the Houston Press — and lived in the home of good friends Marjorie and Raymond Arsht, who were good friends of the Bushes.
One night, George and Barbara Bush came to dinner. He was then chairman of the Harris County Republican Party. One of his goals was to convince black voters to join the Republican Party. At that time, many Texas Democrats were still sympathetic to segregation. He encouraged Marjorie and Ray to have a reception for black leaders at their home. This took place after I returned to law school.
Later, after Bush was elected to Congress, I worked with him when I served as assistant to the research director of the House Republican Conference. We had two future presidents on our committee — Bush and Gerald Ford. We met weekly. I don't remember hearing any abusive — or mocking — rhetoric about the Democrats. They were not viewed as "enemies." Our goal was to convince as many Democrats as possible of the merits of the public policy proposals we were developing.
George H. W. Bush wanted the Republican Party to genuinely be the party of Lincoln. He wanted it to welcome Americans of all backgrounds. In his view, the role of a leader was to unite the country — not divide it. Sadly, the generosity of spirit he brought to our political life is lacking at the present time. Hopefully, we will return to it and abandon the divisive and narrow partisanship that is now corrupting our public life.
As we enter the Christmas season, it seems that most of society's concerns and obsessions are quite the opposite of what is, in fact, being celebrated. We live, more and more, in a materialist era in which the Christmas season begins with "Black Friday" and "Cyber Monday." Newspaper headlines tell us how much money was spent each day — the more the better. In our political life, we are told that "nationalism" and "America First" are values we should embrace. But the Christmas message is something quite different.
"In Christ there is no East or West.
In Him no North or South.
The idea of viewing all men and women as children of God, of respecting the stranger as oneself, was part of the Jewish tradition Jesus learned from his earliest days. Ironically, we have political spokesmen who at the very same time stir suspicion of those who are different — either by race, religion, or ethnicity — and proclaim they are Christians. What would Jesus say?
The views of man and the world set forth by Jesus — and the one that dominates in the modern world — are contradictory. Christmas should be a time of contemplation of the meaning of life — and of our own lives — and of seeking our answer to the question of what God expects of us.
And yet, despite all of this, there is a spiritual yearning in our American society, a feeling that things are not what they should be, and a desire to set ourselves and our country back on a better path. Christmas speaks to the spiritual vacuum in our lives — but only if we will listen to the message.
The divisions in our society are unseemly and unnecessary — and the opposite of the Christmas message. Dividing people on the basis of race or ethnicity ignores the reality that all men and women are created in the image of God. To view people as "enemies" because they disagree about how best to deliver healthcare, or what the tax rate should be, or what our immigration policy should embrace, is to misunderstand the nature of democratic government. Men and women will naturally disagree about matters of public policy. That is why compromise in a democratic society is necessary. Genuine leaders strive to unite the American people, not divide it. We used to think that we could disagree without being disagreeable. Why is that no longer true for so many? Jesus urged his followers to love their enemies. Even many who call themselves Christian cannot even love those with whom they disagree upon one policy proposal or another.
This holiday season we would do well to reevaluate the real gods in our lives and in the life of our country. Our health and that of America may depend upon such a genuine celebration of Christmas.
One of the ironies of our society at the present time is that, as political passions rise, the knowledge of American history, and how our system of constitutional government is meant to work, is in sharp decline.
The evidence of this decline is all around us. Recently, the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation conducted a multiple choice poll using questions used on the test administered by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and found a shocking lack of knowledge.
Only 13 percent could identify 1787 as the year the Constitution was written. The foundation said passing the citizenship test requires a score of at least 60 percent. But just 36 percent of the citizens they surveyed achieved that score. The poll found older Americans did better, with 74 percent of seniors answering enough questions correctly to have passed. Fewer than one in five Americans under 45 cleared the threshold.
The evidence of this sad reality has been building for some time. Several years ago, a student group at Texas Tech University went around campus and asked three questions: "Who won the Civil War?"; "Who is our Vice President?"; "Who did we gain our independence from?" Students' answers ranged from "The South," for the first question to "I have no idea," for all three of them. However, when asked about the T.V. show Snookie starred in ("Jersey Shore") or Brad Pitt's marriage history, they answered correctly.
A study by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute surveyed more than 2,500 Americans and found that only half of adults could name the three branches of government. Studies have shown that 60 percent of college graduates don't know any of the steps necessary to ratify a constitutional amendment and 50 percent don't know how long the terms of representatives and senators are. Forty percent don't know that Congress has the power to declare war; and 43 percent don't know that the First Amendment gives them the right to freedom of speech; and a third can't identify a single right it guarantees.
A 2016 American Council of Trustees and Alumni report showed that, even though all 12th grade students took a course in civics, less than a quarter of them passed a basic examination at "proficient" or above. In a survey of over one thousand liberal arts colleges, only 18 percent include a course in U.S. history or government as part of their graduation requirements.
The evidence of our failure to teach our history is abundant. Fewer than half of eighth graders knew the purpose of the Bill of Rights on a recent national civics examination and only one in ten demonstrated acceptable knowledge of the checks and balances among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches.
The men who framed the U.S. Constitution were careful students of history, particularly the fate of early democracies in the ancient world, Athens and the Roman Republic. They sought to learn lessons from the demise of those early democracies. As a result, they crafted a government of limited power, and divided that power between three separate branches, hoping that freedom would be preserved in this way.
Do Those Who Promote "Socialism" Have Any Idea of What It Means?
Suddenly, we are hearing a great deal about "socialism." A Gallup Poll in August found that 57 percent of Democrats said they view socialism positively. Other polls show the popularity of socialism among millennials. And Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez achieved celebrity promoting socialism, after she defeated the fourth-ranked Democratic House leader, Joseph Crowley, in a New York primary. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), has long called himself a "democratic socialist," and gained widespread support in his 2016 challenge of Hillary Clinton.
There was a time when socialism was widely understood to involve government owning the means of production, deciding exactly what was to be distributed, and who would get it. If contemporary advocates of socialism believe that the economies of Norway, Sweden and Denmark represent their ideal, they must be reminded that these Scandinavian countries are capitalist countries, with thriving, privately owned industries. They simply have decided to have higher taxes than we do, and to provide additional social services. They are not socialist.
We did have our own colonial experience with a genuine variety of socialism. From the earliest days, the American colonists learned the important lesson that the entire idea of the "common ownership" of property was both impractical and inequitable.
It is difficult to understand how political activists who express suspicion of government and the ruling elites they believe to be in charge would think that socialism — which would give government power over our entire economy — would, somehow, be an improvement. What they misunderstand is the fact that economic freedom is the form of organizing an economy most consistent with other freedoms — of religion, speech and press, among others.
Unfortunately, we do not now have a system of genuine competitive free market capitalism. We have what some have called "crony capitalism," with government subsidizing favored sectors of the economy, bailing out sectors which have gone bankrupt with taxpayer dollars, and interfering in the economy in myriad ways — most recently by imposing tariffs on products from a number of countries, leading to an unnecessary trade war. Democrats and Republicans are co-conspirators in this enterprise.
Socialism, real socialism as envisioned by Karl Marx and his adherents, has always led to economic inefficiency and scarcity, and has eliminated political and religious freedom as well. The state controls everything and citizens become mere pawns of those in power.
If, as has been said "ignorance is bliss," then today's advocates of socialism are having a moment of euphoria, to be followed, as night follows day, by a harsher reality.
For those of us who are old enough, and lived in the South, the years of segregation remain an indelible memory. I remember a time, not that long ago, when restaurants, restrooms, trains, buses, and almost every aspect of life was segregated. When I taught a course in international law at the Pentagon, I asked one of my students why there were so many restrooms along the hallways. I was told that the Pentagon, located in Virginia, was built during the years of segregation and that on the halls there were four sets of restrooms, for white men, black men, white women and black women.
The recent movie "The Green Book" shows the travail endured by black travelers in those days. It tells the true story of Dr. Don Shirley, a world-class African-American pianist who is about to embark on a concert tour in the South in 1962. In need of a driver and protection, he recruits Tony Valielonga, a tough-talking bouncer from an Italian-American neighborhood in the Bronx. Despite their differences, the two men soon develop an unexpected bond while confronting racism and danger. Tony is given a copy of The Green Book by the record studio, a guide for black travelers to find safe havens throughout the South. It guides them to the few establishments that were then safe for African Americans.
It was not only in the South that black travelers were not welcome. In Cincinnati, the African American editor Wendell Dabney wrote of the situation in the 1920s that, "Hotels, restaurants, eating, and drinking places almost universally are closed to all people in whom the least tincture of colored blood can be detected." Not one hotel or other accommodation was open to blacks in Salt Lake City in the 1920s. Only 6 percent of the more than 100 motels on Route 66 in Albuquerque, New Mexico admitted black customers. Across the whole state of New Hampshire, only 3 motels in 1956 served African Americans.
In 1943, George Schuyler wrote: "Many colored families have motored all across the United States without being able to secure overnight accommodations at a single tourist camp or hotel." He suggested that they would find it easier to travel abroad than in their own country.
Lester Granger of the National Urban League reported that black travelers had to carry buckets or portable toilets because they usually were barred from bathrooms and rest areas in service stations. African American travelers often packed meals and carried cans of gasoline because many service stations did not welcome them as customers.
The 1966 edition was the last to be published after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawed racial discrimination in public accommodations. We have come a long way since then. When I was in college, in the years of segregation. If anyone suggested that we would live to see a black Supreme Court Justice, Secretary of State, and President. that person would have been considered mad. Yet, it has happened. Our society has shown a great capacity to change — for the better.
But the story is not over. Even today, we have politicians who seek to divide us on the basis of race. Too often, innocent people have been killed by the police, largely because of race. In December, a black man was escorted from the lobby of a hotel in Portland, Oregon because he was innocently speaking on his telephone in the lobby — even though he was a guest at the hotel. The news, unfortunately, has too many such stories.

Albert Tse is a Sydney-based metalsmith who employs 3D technology to make bold unisex jewellery.
3D printing allows me to create a 3D topographical view of Australia in fine detail with four different height layers that give you a view of what Australia looks like.
The Memento Australia cufflinks are designed and handcrafted in Sydney, Australia by Albert Tse. They are 3d printed in wax to maintain the sharpness in the layers, and then cast in 925 Sterling Silver and oxidised to enhance the detail.
We're very pleased to celebrate the acquisition of an important new fibre work by Gippsland Art Gallery. To contributes to Australia's Heirlooms for the Future.
Deep Space Dark Universe is one of several stitched and coiled wall mounted works I made in response to space exploration. In this work the natural colours and textures of Australian she oak needles and poa grass are combined with commercially dyed yarn. My work with plant fibres has evolved through my interest in restoring bush land, especially the indigenous grasses and sedges of South Gippsland in Victoria, where I live and work.
I am delighted that Deep Space Dark Universe has been acquired by Gippsland Art Gallery in Sale for their permanent collection. The work was acquired through the newly established Gippsland Textile Collection, which has come about through the generosity of a private farming family in Gippsland. The Gippsland Textile Collection is dedicated to Australian textiles in all its forms, with a focus on items created in or about Gippsland. The Collection was established to provide inspiration and enjoyment for visitors, and to become an educational resource to encourage knowledge and appreciation for textiles of all periods.
At the October 2018 National Gallery of Australia Memorial Celebration for Dr Robert Bell AM, NGA Director Nick Mitzevich announced the creation of the Robert and Eugenie Bell Decorative Arts and Design Fund. The Fund will support the acquisition of 20th and 21st century decorative arts, design and crafts for the National Gallery's permanent collection.
Robert, who died in July 2018, was well known to the Australian and international craft communities as Senior Curator of Decorative Arts and Design at the National Gallery of Australia from 2000 until his retirement in late 2016, following 22 years as Curator of Decorative Arts at the Art Gallery of Western Australia. He and wife Eugenie provided an initial financial contribution to establish the Fund.
The Fund's first target acquisition is Liminal, a major glass work by Canberra artist Mel Douglas, exhibited in the 2018 Hindmarsh Glass Prize. A serenely poetic work, Liminal has two elements which can be arranged in various configurations.
This is the first in a series of Australia craftspersons who are eligible for the World Crafts Council – Asia Pacific Award of Excellence. These include finely made and innovative objects that are designed for everyday use. The objects in this spotlight shows the value and appeal of Australian craft today.
Bic Tieu proposed a lacquer brooch.
The surface graphic design was developed and then etched onto copper sheet metal using an acid etch process. The metal was then cut and constructed to form the brooch box form. The work is then polished completely before it undergoes a patination process which turns the copper surface to a pink/red colour. Urushi is then carefully painted onto the surface within the etched channels. Eggshell is then carefully inlaid. The work is then left in a humidity box for about a week to cure. The last stage is adding on the brooch finding.
A myriad of cultural symbolism from the East and West combined with materiality are primary elements applied in the design and making of the jewellery and objects. I particularly use the language of lacquer, a natural material which comes from the tree sap distinctive in Asia to discuss transnational ideas of my identity.
Lacquer is a special medium discovered over 5000 years ago from China. Through trade routes is spanned across the Asian continent. I have spent many years starting in Vietnam and then Japan to learn the traditional processes and techniques.
You can find Bic Tieu on Instagram at @bictieustudio.
When visiting museums and galleries today, we enjoy seeing the best of the works produced in the past. We learn about the styles of those times and what was considered valuable.
Despite the increasingly short-term focus of our digital lifestyle, it is critical that we invest in acquiring representative works from our time so they can be enjoyed by audiences today and into the future. Works crafted by hand give expression to an enduring sense of who we are and where we live.
Australia is blessed with a network of substantial state and national galleries. WoCCA seeks to support their work in acquiring Australian craft by promoting recent purchases. We are calling for information and images about purchases of Australian contemporary craft works from across the continent and its islands, specifically including works purchased since 2017.
These will be profiled on our website and shared through our social media. We hope in this way that we can instil pride in the skills and creativity of Australian craft artists and ensure their legacy is sustained into the future.
Information about acquisitions can be submitted here.
In April 2015, an earthquake devastated Nepal, killing more than 9,000 people. WoCCA board member Jane Sawyer led a fundraising campaign to help rebuild potters workshops in the town of Bhaktapur. All up nearly $24,000 has since been raised. WoCCA members in Nepal toured Bhaktapur to look at the first round of constructions, guided by the ebullient Pushkar Shakya. The new kilns appeared to have had a transformational effect. They not only restored capacity but also replaced the dirty wood-fired kilns with much cleaner electric versions. This reduced the number of breakages and increased the production rate. Nepalese expressed their sincere thanks for your support. Australia has a very good name in Bhaktapur.
The Melbourne UNESCO Observatory of Arts Education provides a platform from which research and professional networks grow, not only within Melbourne, but across Australia and in collaboration with other Arts Observatories within South East Asia.

In this upcoming year, we're left with 3 individual medical insurance companies selling 2018 Nevada health plans.
We're losing most of the Aetna, Anthem, Prominence and Golden Rule for health insurance Nevada plans. Grandfathered plans that were in place before March 23rd, 2010 will stay effective, though the majority of plans are ending. Additionally, some of these companies are continuing to offer a "catastrophic" option but clients need to qualify for specific income limits. A lot is changing for 2018 Nevada health plans.
To see prices for individual plans, click here.
Silver Summit (also known as Ambetter), Health Plan of Nevada, and Hometown Health Plans are the remaining three companies. These will be the only real options for Reno health insurance.
Plans from Silver Summit are only available through Healthcare.gov. As an average, Silver Summit has the most expensive plans. These high costs are meant to be offset by subsidies. This is provided through Healthcare.gov, so very few people would actually be paying this full amount. The problem is for people living outside of Reno, Carson City and Las Vegas. This is because Ambetter is the ONLY individual health insurance option. This means that even for those who do not qualify for a subsidy, this is the only option. Silver Summit is brand new 2018 Nevada health insurance company.
Health Plan of Nevada (HPN) came out with very good rates in Clark County this year. HPN only sells HMO plans. This means you need a referral to see a specialist. HPN is a subsidiary of United Healthcare, but they do not use the full United Healthcare doctors list. They are available through Healthcare.gov and you may purchase them privately without a subsidy. These plans are only available in Clark, Nye, and Washoe counties.
Hometown came out with the lowest priced HMO's and only PPO's this year. Renown owns them, so they work with every Renown doctor as well as a large list of independent doctors. The HMO plans are less expensive than the PPO plans. Therefore, the HMO plans require a referral to see a specialist. Hometown is available in Clark, Nye, and Washoe counties.
To see all of these plans or to discuss the details please feel free to contact my office (775) 828-1216. You can also view our individual insurance page.

Winner of the 1988 Architectural Theater Award, the Harvey (formerly the Majestic) resembles a romantic ruin of a theater space. Originally a traditional playhouse, the theater was converted into a movie house in 1942 and abandoned in 1968. This unique space was obtained in 1987 by BAM's then-president Harvey Lichtenstein for the landmark production of Peter Brook's The Mahabharata. The Harvey is located two blocks from BAM's Howard Gilman Opera House and has 874 seats.


Luis Mallo lives and works in the liminal spaces of the exile and the expatriate, and, not coincidentally, in the obscure and shadowy realm where art and description meet. His pictures are confident and curious but always a little slippery. He shows us what he sees and we see it too, but we are never quite sure why he has asked us to look in just such a way, or whether the emotions evoked by this looking are ours, his, or someone else's, and we do not know whether either the emotion or the vision is true.
The pictures of In Camera are straightforward and consistent in tone, palette, subject, and composition but they are also emotionally ambiguous and mysteriously intense. Each horizontal rectangle frames a vista: an empty street, a construction site, a building undergoing demolition--- and each vista is obscured by a physical barrier: a fence, a screen, a scrim, a rain-smeared window or a fabric blind that offer translucent glimpses of what is behind it or rigid gridlike abstractions that deconstruct the already fragmented whole they cover into tiny multiple compositions of form that inexplicably become their own meaning. To compound this layered study of looking, in many cases, Mallo's scrim is parted, his fabric is torn, and his fences are constructed with interstices so that shards and slivers of a single evidentiary layer, almost shocking in their immediacy, glow ambiguously within the folds, vines, sticks, shadows and smears that simultaneously, hide, isolate, define, reveal and mask them. Looking at these pictures is a complex act. They are photographs after all, unaltered and directly descriptive.

Separation Anxiety in Children: Dealing with the First Day of School
Torsten on his first day or pre-school
One of our toddlers has always had poor social skills and some severe separation anxiety. We knew that while separation anxiety in children is common, the combination could be crippling once he hit kindergarten, so finding a good preschool for him was important to us. It took some time, but finally that first day of school arrived. I'd gotten a fair amount of advice from other parents about just how to handle the drop-off point. Most told me to stand strong, just leave him, and let him work it out. I started to try that, but he screamed like he was being murdered and dropped to the floor. I couldn't just leave his teachers with that, even though they told me it was OK. I stayed, and in the end, I was glad I did.
Seeing the alternative
Being there for a few hours that first day until my new preschooler was so enthralled in school he didn't mind me leaving, I got to witness how other parent's "just-leave-him" advice played out. There were other kids that were just as upset as mine was initially whose parents did just go. The teachers attempted to comfort them, but naturally, having 20 other preschools to deal with, they eventually left the children to cry it out. There was one little girl who was actually still sobbing in the corner when I left nearly three hours later who did not look like she was going to give it up. I certainly had no intent of staying every day, all day, all year, because that would undo the purpose of preschool, but I feel a few hours of my time was more than worth making his first day a happy one.
Unfortunately, I did find my new preschooler wanted me to stay every day. So, I tried to leave a little earlier each day. It did help to explain to him why I was leaving earlier and to give him an object of mine, such as my necklace, that he could hold when he was missing me, but he still just wanted me to stay. I couldn't just keep staying forever. In the end, I was unable to avoid a fit if I left right after dropping him off.
The answer to my conundrum finally came in a bus. Despite the bus stop being a mere five minutes before the school in my child's case, we decided to give having him riding the bus a shot anyway. This did not put me at the school where he could want me to stay at all. It also put him in control. He was willingly getting on the bus rather than me saying, "You're here, bye honey." No more tears.
Some may view this method of sending a toddler off to preschool as "babying," but by staying some of the time the first week my toddler was more comfortable with his teachers and the school setting. Then by giving him an item of mine he gained a sense of security, and finally, by letting him choose to ride the bus he conquered his separation anxiety. Our way might not work for every parent or every child, but it's certainly a less tear-filled option to consider.

Physician born at Kovno, Russia, Aug. 22, 1871 educated at the girls' gymnasium of her native city, and privately in Latin and Greek, subsequently studying natural sciences at the universities of Zurich and Bern (M.D.). After graduation she went to Berlin, where Professor Koch permitted her to pursue her bacteriological studies at the Institute for Infectious Diseases. In 1895 she went to Philadelphia, where she was appointed lecturer and, subsequently, professor at the Medical School for Women. There she founded a bacteriological institute, though still continuing her studies every summer under Professor Koch. In 1896 she delivered before the International Congress of Women at Berlin a lecture on the study of medicine by women in various countries. In 1898 she married Dr. Walter Kempner of Berlin. At the congress of scientists held at Breslau in 1904 she presided over the section for hygiene and bacteriology.

Inspired by Alessandro Michele's return to an individualistic aesthetic for the prestigious house of Gucci - fashion lovers, Mia Carruthers and myself journeyed to Florence, Italy (birthplace of Gucci) in search of the brand's sordid past and the connection to their glowing present.
Upon Michele's initial 2015 release, fashion professionals surmised that his mothball, vintage vibe was simply aligned with the on-trend 70's movement. But, there's always more to the story. Beyond the covetable mix and match party wear, day wear staples, and softly historical accessories - how did a strange, fantastical projection (more outsider than mass appeal) resonate with such rock star status?
This primal question, "why?" - is the crux of this project. Why after years of following fashion musings of the mainstream, artistically fringe publications, and Instagram darlings was a faltered Italian brand becoming so relevant?So chic? This is what we have been examining and we look forward to taking you on a journey of Gucci's past and present through our perspective as we dissect Michele's many references and what possibly, quietly inspired them.
This winter 2018, MyGucciStory will launch with tightly composed stories, off-kilter observations, and short videos that we hope will encourage you to see the Gucci brand from new perspectives.
This is our Gucci Story. What will yours be?


I have to capture expenses for 3 different business units (BU). I have setup each business unit as a separate policy. At the end of each week, Expensify is setup to automatically close the report and upload to Quickbooks Online.
The way it currently works, depending on which BU the expense is for, on my phone, i go to Account > Settings > Policies... and select the correct one. I then take a photo of the receipt after which SmartScan does its magic.
What I am hoping to achieve is to make this even simpler.
Is there a way in which, I open the app, take a photo of the expense/receipt... and then in additional information... i use the drop down menu to select the relevant policy. This would make my life so much easier!!!!
Hi @sid_verma, thanks for posting and providing really wonderful context for everyone.
There isn't a way to choose the policy after taking a picture of a receipt, but a close second would be to select the report the expense goes on.
In the Report dropdown, you select the report that corresponds with the policy (BU) the expense is for.
If you use the above method, you can snap photos in batches, doing the receipts for one policy (BU) at a time. The report you select with the first receipt will be the "sticky" report future receipts will automatically be put on. This way, you only need to set the report for the first receipt in a batch, which should save you considerable time compared to changing the policy for each expense.
Each of my policies are setup in such a way that they sync with different QuickBooks Online Companies weekly. By doing what you are suggesting, how will it ensure that that doesn't change.
I also find that batch photo taking prone to inefficiency as I'd rather that the photo as and when the receipt / expense occurs.
Hi @sid_verma, as long as the report is tied to the correct policy and coded with the categories and tags that match that policy, it will export to QuickBooks Online successfully. Switching the report on the expense when uploading shouldn't interfere with your integration.
You can still upload receipts and change the report on each instead of batch uploading, that's no problem. Whichever you prefer should be the workflow you go with.

New Advances in Facelifting Techniques
Dec 2, 2008 | Botox, Liposuction | 0 |
Figure 1. Deep-plane dissection begins from an imaginary vertical line from zygomatic arch to angle of mandible.
The jowl, formed by the descended malar fat pad, is lifted in the deep plane from below and repositioned into its youthful home in the hollowed area below the cheekbone. Technical modifications from the originally described deep-plane facelift were aimed at preserving the patient's natural hairline, eliminating the skin-pulling or puckering sometimes seen with sutures placed more superficially in SMAS-type lifts, and with special attention to reducing the recovery time.
To accomplish this, shorter incisions are placed a few millimeters inside of the temporal hair tuft and postauricular hairline (Figure 1), thus preserving these hair bearing regions yet also hiding the scars nicely.
One must always find a balance between concealing incisions efficiently and avoiding any pull or alteration of the hairline. I generally prefer to place the incision just inside the hairline. Higher-incision placements would inevitably pull back the hairline in the sideburn and temporal region. However, some patients have a much lower sideburn, and in these cases a higher incision may be acceptable.
With this incision-position modification, women can put their hair up without being concerned about scar visibility while at the same time avoiding the "pulled" look and other undesirable, telltale signs of facelift surgery.
Other modifications include the incorporation of fibrin glue, the avoidance of postoperative surgical drains, and the use of a modified Endotine Ribbon in the deep plane of the face only.
The Endotine Ribbon is a bioabsorbable fixation device that offers unique versatility and ease of use. This deeper placement of the ribbon distributes tension in deeper tissue better than single stitches, thereby eliminating any tension on skin incisions. I also like to add a layer of interrupted buried sutures in temporal and posterior hairline to eliminate all tension on my skin closure, which I believe is the key to an invisible scar.
Traditionally, deep-plane facelifts have received some criticism and have been labeled as too invasive and involve a prolonged recovery period. With these modifications, I did not find that to be true. In fact, this modified deep-plane lift heals faster than former SMAS lifts that I have performed.
Plastic surgeons must remain cautious of the surge of many minimally invasive and minimally effective procedures that promise much more than they can deliver. These include, in particular, barbed suture lifts and nonsurgical tightening modalities, which are touted in the media as a replacement for facelifts. These approaches can often result in significant patient disappointment. My foremost goals are a natural and long-lasting result and a rapid recovery.
To my knowledge, this is the first documented use of the Endotine Ribbon in the deep-plane facelift.
Over the years, I have incorporated fibrin glue (Tissel), which has resulted in a more rapid recovery and decreased postoperative hematoma and bruising. However, the most important factor to decrease hematoma and seroma rates is meticulous hemostasis. Fibrin glue can complement but not replace meticulous hemostasis, and it may also help eliminate the necessity of surgical drains after facelift procedures.
By closing and sealing the dead space, fibrin glue has been shown to decrease postoperative drain output. Drains can malfunction, introduce infection into the wound, leak, become misplaced, and entail extra incisions and scarring. They create tracts at the site of removal, necessitate painful extraction, and risk injury to vessels on removal. In the past, the use of drains was routinely advised. However, more recently, many surgeons have moved away from using drains in facelift surgery, unless specifically indicated.

HIGH-DEFINITION FACELIFTING
The newest adjunct to my facelift technique is the use of high-definition endoscopy. I have been using high-definition endoscopic visualization from Dyonics.
This technology lets me better visualize face and neck structures in the deep plane through 50% smaller incisions in temporal hairline and posterior hairline regions.
Previously, endoscopic technology has been used primarily in browlifts and subperiosteal midface lifts, rather than through traditional facelift incisions. The smaller incisions enable a more rapid recovery and decrease postoperative swelling.
Figure 3. The deeper placement of the Endotine Ribbon distributes tension in deeper tissue better than single stitches.
My practice is located in the New York metro region, in which patients tend to be very sophisticated about the nuances of techniques, the ability to deliver outcomes that are identical and—in many cases—superior, through shorter, well-hidden incisions that offer significant benefit to patients.
Finally, when the bioabsorbable Endotine Ribbon (Figures 2 and 3) is used in the deep plane to lift the sagging SMAS and malar fat pad from below (Figure 4), tension is distributed over its many "tines."
Contrast this approach to the traditional use of stitches to catch pieces of deep-plane tissue and to place tension on single points, sometimes resulting in tearing of the tissue at these points.
This idea occurred to me after I used the Endotine brow system, which employs the same concept of using multiple tines to distribute tension over many points. After the tension is distributed below the skin, there is no pulling on the skin and the lift looks very natural.
DEMYSTIFYING THE DEEP PLANE
Over the past decade, our understanding of facial aging has changed. At present, we recognize that multiple factors contribute to a youthful look.
For example, a "tight" face is not necessarily a youthful look, and it is not representative of what modern facelift patients desire. It is not just the sagging tissues of the face and neck that cause an aging appearance, but also volume deflation and redistribution in certain key facial regions. The full malar fat pad over the cheek descends to become a jowl around the mouth and the area under the cheek becomes hollow. Sagging neck skin and platysma, along with fat deposition in the submental region and jowl formation at the anterior mandible, all work together to blunt youthful definition.
Figure 4. The repositioning of the deeper SMAS and malar fat pad in the deep-plane facelift more thoroughly addresses the sagging tissue and allows for more volume distribution.
The deep-plane facelift eliminates the jowl by going under this descended malar fat pad, lifting it, and repositioning it to its youthful home right under the cheek bones.
This deep layer (Figure 4) is thicker and stronger than the traditional SMAS layer. The SMAS layer in "SMAS-type" lifts eventually thins out as we age and becomes a weak layer to lift. In addition, it lacks enough volume to enable it to reposition into hollowed areas.
SMAS resection techniques, or "SMASectomies," have a tendency to "skeletonize" the face and cheeks, creating a gaunt, pulled look—especially in a thin face.
Early in my practice, I struggled with many SMAS-type lifts in order to achieve the jaw line and cheek definition seen with the deep-plane lift, only to find them to be somewhat suboptimal in patients who presented with a significant jowl.
Though SMAS lifts provided a notable improvement and patients were initially satisfied, I found that I had to pull tighter at the SMAS and skin level to get a better result. I preferred not to do so because of the risks of comprising a natural-looking appearance, which is paramount in my practice in Manhattan. My personal disappointment with SMAS lifts was also due to the lack of volume repositioning I was able to achieve with the deep plane, as the SMAS layer alone did not provide enough volume to reposition.
Furthermore, the necessity of separating the skin from the SMAS layer in SMAS-type lifts would sometimes result in a thinning of the skin and appearance of telangiectasias in the skin.
SMAS lifts can sometimes violate the subdermal plexus with cautery, which is not ideal in patients with a history of nicotine use. This does not occur with the deep-plane facelift, as separation of the skin from deeper tissue is not done anterior to a vertical imaginary line from zygomatic arch to angle of mandible (Figure 1).
Finally, the repositioning of the deeper SMAS and malar fat pad (Figure 4—yellow arrow) in the deep-plane facelift more thoroughly addresses the sagging tissue and allows for more volume distribution.
By keeping the tension in the deeper tissue, less tension can be placed on the skin, enabling the scars to heal better.
EVOLUTION AND MODIFICATION OF THE DEEP-PLANE FACELIFT
1) Incisions are shorter both in the temporal and posterior hairline incisions. The shorter incisions are feasible with placement of high-definition endoscopes to visualize structures in the face and neck.
Traditionally, a longer incision would allow better visualization, which is important to safely identify blood vessels, nerves, and other important structures. However, the high-definition endoscope system provides unparalleled images and clarity through the smaller incisions, especially as the endoscopes are placed and maneuvered easily from the peri-auricular region.
2) Dissection and fixation—Deep-plane dissection begins from an imaginary vertical line from zygomatic arch to angle of mandible (Figure 1—point A to B). Dissection proceeds anteriorly under the malar fat pad and above the masseteric fascia towards the jowl. Superiorly, dissection is under the malar fat pad and over the zygomaticus muscles (Figure 4—yellow arrow).
Prior to modifying my technique with the use of the Endotine Ribbon, I would raise the deep plane ledge in the face and attach it to the preauricular region with multiple horizontal mattress 3-0 PDS sutures.
In the neck, I still perform a subcutaneous dissection toward the midline, identify the posterior border of platysma, and dissect a small subplatysmal flap and fix it to mastoid periosteum with multiple horizontal mattress 3-0 PDS sutures. The skin flaps would then be redraped and trimmed as needed to avoid tension.
3) When I first started using Coapt's Endotine products, it was as part of a browlift procedure. Rather than using a single stitch, the Endotine brow-fixation system uses five tines (or small hooks) that hold the brow and fix it. This system is far superior to other brow-fixation methods I used in the past, such as stitches into screws and stitches into bone tunnels, in which fixation depends on single points.
The Endotine Ribbon had the same concept as the brow device and offers similar advantages of tension distribution along multiple tines. However, I did not dissect in the superficial subcutaneous tissue in the face where the ribbons were traditionally being placed with tines facing down on the SMAS. I did not see the usefulness in the deep plane until it occurred to me to flip the ribbon in the deep plane, with the tines grasping the jowl from beneath it (Figure 1).
The tine end of the ribbon and the other perforated end of the ribbon were too long. Originally, the length of the ribbon was based on placement and fixation from a temporal incision where length was needed, but I was trying to fix the deep plane a shorter distance to the preauricular region, which is a much shorter distance to pull. Trimming on both sides left about five or six tines on the ribbon, which worked very well. Furthermore, the ribbon was not palpable as the deep plane covered all the tines (2.5 mm thick).
The tines of the ribbon engaged the jowl and deep plane from underneath, hooking onto a large surface area of the deep plane and not just at the edge. The lift looked much smoother, and there was no puckering or pulling at the skin surface. I secured the perforated preauricular portion of the ribbon with 3-0 PDS sutures.
To test the strength of the lift, I counterpulled in order to try to pull the cheek downward. However, the lift was very strong in the deeper tissue, and the skin did not manifest any signs of tension. The tines were very secure because of the deep plane pushing down onto them.
In the neck, I still use the sutures because of the palpability of the Endotine Ribbon. Possible visibility in the subcutaneous plane, though temporary (3 months), was unacceptable to my patients and myself.
The advantage of the Endotine Ribbon in tension distribution over a large surface area in the deeper tissue is significant compared with the use of individual stitches in the face.
Internal studies show that the bioabsorbability of the Endotine Ribbon, with in-growth of the tissue over a 12-week period, is similar to some stitches. The tissue in-growth occurs in the holes in the ribbon device, which further strengthens it.
In around 8 weeks, the tissue biologically reattaches and stabilizes to a new position—the ribbon provides an additional safety of 4 weeks of fixation before it dissolves.
The ribbon was FDA approved in 2006 and consists of bioabsorbable 82% l-Lactide and 18% glycolide. I trimmed it from an original length of 16 mm down to about 8 mm, which is ideal for use in the deep plane. The tines that grasp the deep plane are 2.5 mm high. As they engage the deep plane, they become nonpalpable.
4) Submentalplasty—Early on in my practice I would perform a submentalplasty by removing a small strip of midline fat and platysmal bands, and then reattaching the platysma in the midline down to the level of hyoid bone with multiple 3-0 PDS sutures. Then, I would transect it a few millimeters in order to take the tension off the cord in the midline.
This approach produced a pleasant cervicomental angle along with the lateral lift in most patients. However, after following these patients over a long period of time, I believed this procedure "skeletonized" the neck too much and produced too many muscular fasciculations, which I had to repetitively treat with Botox.
Currently, I reserve doing submentalplasties with the facelift procedure to female patients with extremely heavy necks and for male facelift patients.

5) Fibrin glue—The circulating nurse prepares the Tissel fibrin glue (Baxter) in the operating room. Fibrin glue is sprayed from a dual sprayer after the deep work is completed and after I have redraped and fixed the skin in its final position. Approximately 1 cc is sprayed from the open incisions in preauricular and postauricular areas. Pressure is held with wet gauze for 3 minutes on each side.
The use of fibrin glue demonstrates a significant decrease in the rate of hematoma formation. Surgical drains are not used, but patients wear a pressure dressing for 24 hours. However, many surgeons are uncomfortable with the omission of drains and seek an additional source of protection against hematoma formation. Fibrin glue can give this added protection.
Using the techniques described above, I have obtained consistently superior and reproducible results with a rapid recovery. After my significant experience with parotid surgery and facial nerve dissection, I feel comfortable in the deep plane and have had no incidence of facial nerve injury. However, it is widely accepted that experience and comfort level in this plane varies among surgeons.
