53 STEPS - Towards the Excellence of Execution
Mukit, Ataul
7 May 2016CPOL16 min read
Hasin Hyder is a renowned personality in the Software Field of Bangladesh as well as in Word Press Theme development Community. Here is a few pointers he shared on how to aim for excellence.
Although this is not exactly an interview, but this are excerpts from an in event I participated in where on Stage was a great programming personality of my country.
"You have to believe what the words are saying and the words are as important as the melody.
Unless you believe the song and have lived it,
there's little sense in performing it." - Bob Dylan
We shake hands. Hasin is wearing a loose-fitting green tea-shirt that ends at his waist and black jeans. The long winding hair and the Che-Guevara appearance is startling. How did you rise above the shyness? - I asked! - "Photography" came the answer. Wait! there was more - A 2004 tech conference where he was pushed on to the stage in-front of a thriving audience anticipating with expectation. Rewinding back to a heart-warming and inspiring episode that just took place a short while ago - The Baul of Programming as they call him was on the stage once again sharing his life story and experience in-front of a curious attendance. There was I frantically noting down the fifty three stones that Hasin's feet touched upon in this great Journey Towards Excellence!
My writing may be boring but trust me the points he mentions are not!
So if you are an aspiring Tech enthusiast starting to make your own journey,
just bear with me through the 53 steps :
Life Changer
#1 Watching struggle and courage Hasin's Mother was paralyzed from a very young age and Hasin has watched her courage over the years to stick to her goals and her belief. He grew up watching the struggle that aspires people to perform greater deeds. Amazingly apart from Maths, his mother taught him all other subjects till class 8.
#2 Support at home He has the support at home to do whatever his free-wheeling spirit aspires for. Without the support of the life partner whom he met in his early university years, he thinks it would have been quite impossible to reach where he is at now.
#3 Rashidul Hasan Sohel Hasin was quick to point out the man who handpicked him to set up for interview for his first job.
The Early Years (Golden 90's)
#3 Rajshahi Hasin Hyder was a very shy spirit in his early years as he was hidden with care from a stormy outside world as the only Son :). Finally, he got his freedom when he was in Rajshahi (A major town in Bangladesh) during the time of his SSC. There he really learnt the meaning of Freedom.
#4 Rajshahi BIT He joined RUET (then Rajshahi BIT) after passing HSC which opened a whole new world to him. He let on a bit of info with a chuckle - charukola and arts always fascinated him, but long hair at that age and a jute bag on the shoulder wasn't something he could dare to accommodate at that time.
#6 Computer Lab - Khulna He talks about this lab in Khulna where went to get some coaching and that's when his eagerness towards computers started. DOOM2 Anybody?
#7 Fox-Pro He quickly mentions he only knew about Fox-Pro during his early years and it was something that increased his interest towards Software a little bit more.
#8 Functional calculator - the early Excel A gift from a Brother in Law which could get as close as today's MS - Excel got his logical brain and ideas in mind up and running and working fulltime.
#9 QBasic Programming and Fox Pro Book The calculator really helped as he requested his father for books on QBasic and Fox-Pro - the only relatively known languages at that time.
#10 RUET again - CSC program starts After joining Rajshahi BIT as a civil engineer, his chance came; the chane to meet with the holy grail of Software Development- the concept of computer science. CSC program started in RUET immediately from the next batch of his enrolling.
#11 Visual Basic He did not mention the time but I would assume he came in touch with VB during the early 2000's and he must have fallen in love with it instantly - I know, because I still am in love with it! More fuel and fire to passion you might conclude.
Dawn of the millennium
#12 Tough Challenges to Overcome - I think the era of that time, without much access to internet and materials must have shaped Hasin and made him the tough nut he is right at this time. He had to overcome insurmountable odds to over come the challenges to learn the languages by heart and solving the problems.
Journey begins - but not as an Engineer (2001-2002)
#13 Phonetic Bangla Keyboard 2001 - 2nd Year The time when people of his age were busy wooing girls with their programming skills and silly cats and dogs software, he was into something constructive and started writing a phonetic Bangla keyboard with Visual Basic. He says due to session jam he was only in second year during 2001.
#14 3.68 cgpa dropping to 2.64 and backlogs He maintains he failed 4 times in Steel and Construction material subjects and his early CGPA of 3.68 rocketed towards the ground while he was hogged with backlogs. All these simple due to one reason - Passion; Passion towards creativity and construction through Computer Programming. #15 2.64 cgpa determines the future(!) of the civil engineer He was wise to make the correct decision, Civil Engineering was not for him.
#16 VBA macro programming He indeed managed to solve the Bangla Typing with phonetics problem in MS-WORD with VBA. Many People haven't heard of VBA, just take my word for granted, it was an awesome achievement during that time (and even now).
#17 Daffodil The software was so good, Daffodil the IT Giant, at that time bought it for 3 lacs. For a man, who spent only 1700 per month, this came as a major inspirational event.
Career Path - The Turn (2003)
#18 2003- The concept of drop out Nope, he did not have the luxury of Bill Gates to drop out. During the October of 2003, he did manage to finish his Bachelor's Degree. There again, his early experience of tenacity and struggle helped him to finish it off. But the career path has now turned towards where his passion was - not Engineering but Computer Science. Note: I use the term Engineering to denote all fields of Engineering that does not include Software Development; because for me Software Development is more of an art that engineering
#22 job ? During November, 2003, Sohel Bhai whose named he mentioned at the very initial stage of his talk, aided into arranging an interview for a Job.
#23 Interview with dad by side It must have felt a very cold morning in November that the man who is now a leader of men and women, had to take his Dad with him to the interview. This is the point where I felt I was not going home without the answer - how an introvert full of shyness turned it around?
#24 The Changing face of Programming By that time, web programming was slowly coming to the fore, and it started with ASP, which he did not like. There there was PERL but then again he could not fine any free hosting for PERL. So the struggle continues in a changing world - but yet, it just made him that determined, that more gritty and that more tenacious.
#25 The Superstars of the TIME (2003-2004) Yes, time and time, they gave us the inferiority complex, the superstars of that time - The Dreaded JSP programmers! Hasin had felt their edge too ! Thank goodness the night mare is over. We have NodeJS now, don't we?
#26 The Revelation called PHP Hasin did not like ASP, nor JSP. He felt where his passion rested upon albeit not known to him at the time I presume - a simple yet powerful language called PHP. I can't help but think it must have been an instant Love Affair. #27 PHP Forum in Yahoo There you go, when passion burns at the heart, you want to fulfill the promise, and so he did. He opened a group in Yahoo which would address PHP related issues and provide solution to a new and emerging group of PHP programmers.
#28 The Tutor Slowly but surely the finding of solutions to problems posted in the forum turns him into a PHP Whiz. The humility that accompanies the great man puts it with a more milder touch as I quote his own words "when you have to teach , you realize your shortcomings!" And so you have to learn more and more day by day.
#29 Books and more Books At this point he emphasizes on the importance of books. Starting PHP Experts group in Yahoo taught him the importance of books in learning. #30 VDO Tutorials !?? The question comes, what about VDO tutorials? He acknowledges its importance, but for him it is books, books and more books. Why? Because with an open book he can see clearly what's lying ahead and he can easily find what he is looking for in the book. Video Tutorials are time consuming and really makes it hard to find what exactly you are looking for because you have to go almost full length of it.
#31 Certification !!?? (2006 ) Upon reflection, Hasin realized he only has a degree in the Civil Engineering field, but nothing on the line he is passionate about. So he though about getting a certification and the one that came to mind related to PHP was Zend Certification.
#32 Zend certified exam not found?? To his amazement, nobody heard of it in this country when he went searching for a center to get the certification. But I guess you won't be surprised to know he managed to sit for the certification exam and pass.
#33 Switch to somewhere.in (2006) From his initial first job (remember the interview with dad by side?), he switched to somewhere.in . There he had to do some R&D about Content Management Software.
#34 Start Writing Book (2006) When most of us were either swimming in a volatile early born Software Market, having the water almost up to our neck, one man rises his head above from the rest of us and decides to start writing a book - one of the most noble professions in the world. OK, I may have made it sound a little too dramatic, but authors make me emotional! I only spotted him in a lightning talks event during the mid 2000's unaware of his struggles, excitements and the then achievements including writing a book. I knew this man was destined for greatness from the way he stood out. In the presentation he was moving one slide after another only through hand gestures How he implemented it at that time when there was no good image recognition or gesture detection Software is a secret - and it's for me to know and you to find out :)
#35 Pack publishing publishes Wordpress Complete It's a publishing house in Birmingham which published his book and I think he named it WordPress Complete. Writing a book I believe can create immortals among mortals. The amount of pain need to be endured to produce a book can only felt by the ones who write them. My head and hand both are writing simply to write this article.
#36 study ZCE book on Dhaka medical It's the time when his first child would be born and he was studying ZCE for the certification while attending his wife in Dhaka Medical. Taking challenge and not giving up during pressured times had always been his moto and there he was - a successfully passed Zend Certified Programmer.
#37 2007 - page flakes as part timer - Fascinated by JavaScript Omar Al Zabir, a genius of our times, believe it or not actually came to a company we started called Enosis for an interview and we did not think much of him then. Later that year, Omar started his own company called Page Flakes where Hasin got in as a part time programmer. This is when his other secret affair started and this time it was Javascript. I envy that man, because it was only during late 2013/2014 I came to realize the true beauty of Javascript and it already had a lover and I was too late:| .
#newsflash - Pageflakes got sold for 5.6 million (rumored) and Omar became the legend that he is. It also teaches us one thing - if you are haughty and too full of yourself and think you know better than rest, then you will never identify or reside with true greatness. The reflection of greatness shines through the humility it reflects on the glass outwardly.
#38 2008 - Tripert Labs This is a company which was bought by playdom bought by Disney and most likely Hasin got his first taste of working as a head hunter in this company.
#39 2009 - Left Tripert Labs for EA We all heard of EA Sports and this is where Hasin came in touch with World Class people and programmers which opened his eyes to what is achievable by our community and where we are really at. The great thing about Hasin is he is not content with working with great programmers (as so often our case, where we like to boast I worked with this world class programmer and in that world class Software). Hasin envisions to raise a nation of such programmers.
#39 i2we - Social Apps Soon he was into making Social Apps, mostly facebook apps for i2we but this is not where he would stop, because it is a heart that is willing to give it's very best to pursue its own destiny
#40 Leevio (2010) At that point of time, he may have been tired of working for clients, and started a concern of his own called Leevio. They made fb apps through Graph APIs and tried to access the global market. Again the Free-Spirit coming to the fore. #41 cpanel offer The guy who made the cpanel, Aaron by name offered a deal. Hasin did not clearly say (or I missed) what actually went on and what happened and what did not happen with the offer. We have had so many stones turned to come across this far, I guess we can leave one alone.
#42 Vocas His rival company got sold to Vocas for 18 million and this is where Hasin focuses on what not to do as a Start up looking for Angel investors. Don't be busy with making the product only; you have to prepare the right documentations and presentations and most likely a foreign partner (preferably white skinned) to make the whole process work. Lot of nitty gritties and paper work to take care of and you can't choose to be ignorant about those.
Quickly Pressing on to the Forward Button and move to the Present (2016)
#43 P1 Hasin briefly mentions Tasaweer labs where he got a good job offer and then rolled on the years to move on to P1 where he has put together a sizable group that ensures quality Software are developed here without any direct involvement of Foreign Interference. I hope his leadership skill would be fully utilized there and I really wish for the sake of the industry that he would set an example for the rest of the future leaders of IT on how to handle a team, lead a team, seek out the best interest of the team and make a case for them to Non-IT corporate people who is at the top of the hierarchy and more often than not take advantage of a passionate group of people. #44 Try out new things Hasin reaches out to the young people asking to find out where their passion lies. During his speech, whenever he got time he talked about looking at things from a different perspective. That's where the topic photography came. #44 Photography - A different Perspective When programmers get together they talk about few things a) Girls b) Girls around them c) Codes d) Bugs e) Errors And this can get extremely boring, CBECBE (Code Bug Error .... [repeat]) Hence Hasin sought out a new interest Photography. That is the period when he came in touch with new group of people that included lawyers, musicians, painters and people from other areas.
A common trait of great men (or soon to be great for that matter) dictates - they form/build communities around them and very soon Hasin was indulged in doing just that. As you can now relate from the start of the story, it helped him remove any iota of shyness that remained. So lesson to programmers - spread out, stay out, stay involved.
Hasin is adamant that a hobby of different interest can help you see things from different points of views and perspectives. Hasins perspective
Hasin receives a lot of questions like "Hasin Bhai, I have just passed CSC Degree, What Should I do Now?" Take a look at
Hasin's wonderful insight
#45 "What should I do now?" and "I want to do this and How should I do this?" are two altogether completely different questions. You know best what you should do. How to do then becomes the right question. #46 Before asking, first contemplate "Are you asking the right questions" !!? #47 If you are not sure then look up in website "How to ask the right questions" because you can bet your bottom dollar that this is the Question to look up in your Search.
#48 Too many young people are satisfied with the good simply unaware of the fact that "Good is the bitter enemy of the Best"
#49 Don't search out for money, Search out your passion because Money is the Bi-Product of your Passion.
#50 Whatever line of work you want to get involved into, see other people's work on this line and get Inspired!
#51 Positivity and Sharing can only help you grow and feel better. Share with the world even if it is a trivial solution to a problem you have come up with. This can help you get inspired and it will help you focus and balance.
#52 Release Early, Release Often !
#53 Do not seek accreditation and undue raptors for what you want to do, rather seek admiration for what you have done! Keep an idea in the head and only share with the rest of the world, when the idea-child is born.
"You have to believe what the words are saying and the words are as important as the melody. Unless you believe the song and have lived it, there's little sense in performing it." - Hasin the free-wheeling Programming Baul not only has sung his song and recite his poetry aloud to the rest of the world but has lived the words all through his journey towards being the Excellence of Executioner and at the same time .. Striving for the Excellence of Soul !
The most valuable thing to take away from his pointers are
1) Find your Passion
2) Share your work to the rest of the world to get inspired
3) Get inspired and share more of it

Ever since I made my Roasted Tomato Bisque with Chipotle Cream I have been experimenting with vegetable soups, with and without cream. They are easy to make and provide another way of offering veggies to your family. In this comforting, creamy soup sans cream, warm hints of curry and ginger round out the natural sweetness of the carrots. It is a healthy, satisfying soup any time of year. Serve your kiddos the soup paired with a bunny grilled cheese sandwich, or for an even easier festive spring meal, serve the soup with Annie's All-Natural bunny crackers instead of Saltines or oyster soup crackers.
Warm hints of curry and ginger round out the natural sweetness in this carrot soup.
Coat the bottom of a pan with olive oil and heat it over medium-high heat.
Place the carrots, onion, garlic and tomato halves in the pan and roast them, flipping them occasionally so that all sides cook evenly.
Once they are lightly browned, add a splash of the chicken broth, cover the pan, reduce the heat and let the veggies simmer until the carrots are soft and tender but not mushy.
Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Blend the veggies in a blender, adding some more chicken broth if needed to make a smooth mixture.
Return the veggie puree to the pan and add the remaining chicken broth.
Add a splash of milk and let the soup simmer over medium heat.

Email? I didn't use any email. what would email be for?
sorry , i cant use smtp, i read ur questions. so I think I got it wrong.
Looks like you got it fixed with the update to commander and eslint modules removal?
Yes, that works. Now we just have the broken emojis (that's been since like 1.6.0) and the newly broken quotes.
Have you reported the broken quotes? Have you tried using nodebb-plugin-emoji instead of the old nodebb-plugin-emoji-extended?
Have not reported the quotes.
Yes, have tried that plugin to no avail.
What were your issues? If you're having problems with nodebb-plugin-emoji v2 please report them on Github.
Same issues I've had for ~6 months. It does nothing.
It did that in the past, too. It didn't work for months, then some update it worked for a month or two, then just went away again. Over the last two years, it's almost never worked for us, but would sporadically work again.
I repeat: there is a new, rewritten from scratch version of nodebb-plugin-emoji which implements the features of emoji-extended. Please try using it.
Repeat this was tested today. Unless this was done in the last hour, this is the one we are talking about. It repeats the issues we had from the old version.
YOu can see that the v2 was discussed some time ago.
Did you install nodebb-plugin-emoji-one v2? The old version doesn't work with nodebb-plugin-emoji.
This is getting silly. Obviously we are talking about the new ones.
Is there some secret "can't be found in the plugins system" link to totally different plugins actually called V2 somewhere? Because these are just the current releases of the existing emoji plugins that were constantly being updated, and remained broken, for most of the last year.
I don't know what kind of issues you're having. I don't know your setup. I don't visit Mongolassi, I listen and help with issues here. By default, a NodeBB upgrade will not upgrade the emoji-one pack to the new version. It will leave emoji-extended activated as to not break new installs.
That is why I asked. Do you want my help in fixing this or not?
I don't know what kind of issues you're having. I don't know your setup. I don't visit Mongolassi, I listen and help with issues here. By default, a NodeBB upgrade will not upgrade the emoji-one pack to the new version.
The upgrade process we use, the only one that we know works, does upgrade it to the latest version during the upgrade process. If we don't do that, things aren't compatible and it breaks. It's "always" been part of a basic upgrade AFAIK. I've been on NodeBB since 0.3, I think. We've never had an upgrade process that didn't keep all plugins at the latest.
I had already posted that this was the latest on GitHub as requested.
Sorry if I sounded gruff, I've been asked this same thing like four times as if I'm an idiot. I had just been assuming that emoji were not really being addressed and had been ignoring it. But people kept prodding me saying that the latest update was significant and it was expected to maybe work again.
I can't uninstall it because of the "undefined" problem that NodeBB appears to have without it (also on GitHub). Maybe that's the underlying issue, that NodeBB has a syntax error in the core install and some quotes or something are getting consumed from the emoji code that compete it but leave something broken in the emoji plugin as a result?

One can't prescribe books, even the best books, to people unless one knows a good deal about each individual person.
From the moment I picked up your book until the moment I put it down, I was convulsed with laughter. Someday I intend reading it.
Thank you for sending me a copy of your book—I'll waste no time reading it.
One's chances of survival increase with each book one reads.
Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren't. I'm not surprised some people prefer books.
I don't think anyone should write their autobiography until after they're dead.


You've probably heard of prenuptial agreements. Kim and Kanye have one; so do Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan. Often associated with the rich and famous, these agreements range from provisions concerning what each spouse receives in the event of divorce to how much time spouses spend together. Prenuptial agreements set terms and expectations for the parties to a marriage before they enter into it. You may be less familiar, though, with postnuptial agreements. However, such agreements can also serve an important purpose, clarifying matters like financial plans for the future and allocating responsibility for certain debts.
A postnuptial agreement is also a written contract between spouses. Such agreements can help you to anticipate and plan around conflicts; you can decide how you would want to divide property in the event of a divorce. A postnup can also help you to protect your home and other assets if one spouse enters into a risky business venture or develops a substance abuse problem. (Of course, both partners must agree any arrangement memorialized in the postnup.) A postnup allows you to identify and clarify financial and marital goals, including how to provide for your children's education and how to plan for retirement. A postnup may also outline how to handle savings and expenditures: should one spouse's income go into savings or should it be allocated to paying bills? If you are planning to buy a house or start a business, how will those ventures be paid for? Do you want to set aside a portion of every paycheck to plan ahead for illness or unemployment? A postnuptial agreement may also address less concrete issues, such as how to handle chores at home or how to respond to infidelity.
Both prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are becoming increasingly popular, even for people whose surname isn't Kardashian or Zuckerberg. These agreements are seen as a way to make decisions before those decisions become weighted with emotion, a constructive way to preempt conflict and protect assets.

Roy Jones, Jr. responded today to the recent reports that he has been blacklisted and included into the "Peacemaker" database as a violator of the state border.
"I came to Russia with peace in mind as I have been doing regularly for the past 4 years. I didn't come here to offend nobody. I've boxed here, I've performed my music here, and my company, Square Ring Promotions, promotes or co-promotes fights and fighters here, including current IBO Champion Eduard Troyanovski. And over this time, I have seen how these people love Roy Jones and I love it when people love me," said Jones.
"Our friend, Vlad Hrunov, who we do a lot of boxing business with, said he had a boxing event this weekend and asked if I would come and perform some of my music at his show. I have a new album that just came out on iTunes so it made sense to me because Russia is a huge market for my music. He also said that there might be the chance to meet President Putin which was a huge honor for me.
"I asked President Putin for a Russian Passport so that it would be easier for me to travel back and forth and also it would help me and my company businesswise. But this is nothing new. I have been talking about getting a Russia Passport now for a couple of years.
"I know the Klitschko brothers have been itching to fight me, and it could be that this is there way of calling me out. So hey, if Vitali or Wlad want to settle this over a friendly sparring session for 12 rounds for the world heavyweight title anywhere in the world outside of Ukraine, including Crimea, they know how to reach me. Otherwise, this nonsense of Ukraine blacklisting me is a transparent attempt to politicize a legitimate business endeavor that we are pursuing with peace in our heart to help restore and build bridges between the East and the West.


George Romney is closely identified with the Rambler. While he was the Rambler's biggest advocate, like Zora Duntov and the Corvette, Romney joined Nash after work had already begun on what would become the compact Rambler. He accepted George Mason's offer of a job at Nash instead of a better offer from Packard because he was impressed with the prototype that was then called the X-Car. George Romney was one of the most competent car executives ever. In the video we posted yesterday, Romney himself has the highest praise for Mason, the real father of the Rambler. Mason was interested in compact cars and he was also interested in good fuel economy, but mostly he was interested in distinguishing Nash from the Big 3.
Mason thought a smaller car with interior dimensions big enough for a family, with good performance, would stand out in the market. Mason also used a novel strategy when Nash rolled out the first Ramblers in 1950. The car was launched with a relatively expensive convertible (though it was cheaper than the Big 3's ragtops) model. That was followed by a station wagon, and eventually a sedan. Another novel idea of Mason's was selling the Rambler as a well equipped car. Small and economical didn't have to mean cheap. Fifty years before Honda started selling fully equipped cars, the Rambler's standard equipment included: wide whitewall tires; electric clock; custom steering wheel, disc hupcaps, and upholstery; pushbutton radio; Weather-Eye heater/defroster; directional signals; foam seat cushions; and courtesy lights. The interior, designed by former Paris fashion designer Helene Rother, was described as stylish and modernistic with fairly expensive fabrics and coordinated colors. The instrument panel was similar to those in the larger Nashes. Small also didn't mean slow. The Rambler's unibody construction, what Nash called Airflyte construction, resulted in a lightweight 2,430 pounds and with the 72 HP six from those bigger Nashes, the Rambler was considered to have brisk acceleration for its day, comparing favorably to sports cars like the MG-TC.
To eliminate the need to reinforce the convertible's body, fixed side roof rails were retained, like today's Fiat 500 Cabriolet. The roof rails also meant that doors didn't sag and resulted in a quieter ride. The commercial in the embedded video calls it a "rattleproof convertible". This particular Rambler Custom convertible is part of the Driving America display at the Henry Ford Museum.
Mason didn't just load up the Rambler with equipment and launch with more expensive "fringe models" as he called them because he didn't want the car perceived as cheap. Nash had limited capacity for the Rambler's first model year and Mason wanted to limit demand. The Rambler seems to have acted as a halo vehicle for Nash. Though only 11,000 Ramblers were sold in the 1950 model year, it ended up being Nash's best sales year to date as people flocked to dealerships to see the Rambler. In 1951, Nash brought a new factory online and was able to sell 70,000 Ramblers. Romney's confidence in the prototype was well placed.

A Top Facial Plastic Surgeon Explains What to Know About Facial Feminization Surgery
Dr. Konstantin explains it all.
By Tatiana Bido, Features Editor and Zachary Clause · Jun 26, 2020
Facial feminization surgery, also referred to as FFS, is an increasingly popular combination of procedures that involve softening masculinized facial features into a shape more typically recognized as feminine. FFS is sought after by patients of any and all genders. These treatments go beyond the traditional binary roles of "male or female," and include trans-feminine, gender-queer, gender fluid, two-spirit and more. With more surgical and nonsurgical advancements available today, the process of reshaping the face has gotten a lot easier for those seeking a more feminized-looking face.
Some common facial feminization procedures include surgeries like brow and orbital reduction surgery, blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, jaw reduction, lip lifts and neck liposuction. Each procedure is recommended based on a patient's unique case. Softening certain strong features that can make the face appear more masculine is the goal without having an obviously "operated on" look. The hairline is also a factor in making the face appear less masculine, so hair restoration surgery is also an option.
For nonsurgical options, patients may undergo neurotoxin and filler injections in the forehead, around the eyes, in the cheeks, lips, chin and jawline for a more temporary solution. Unlike surgery, results are not permanent and will need maintenance depending on how long the injectable treatment lasts. Nonsurgical procedures will, however, allow the patient to try out facial feminization treatments and tweak the results as they go. Some doctors prefer that their patients start the transformation process slowly and build up to more invasive procedures so they may live with their results for some time before committing to a more permanent change.
A study in the June issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), states that a typical FFS patient will undergo an average of 4.2 procedures per patient. The study also found that on a 100-point facial feminization score (with 100 denoting complete satisfaction), the average score for patients before FFS was 47.2, which then increased to an 80.6 satisfaction score at six months after surgery—meaning patients reported a rather significant improvement in satisfaction with their facial features post-procedures.
As with any procedure, when seeking a facial feminization surgery specialist, look for a board-certified doctor who has experience treating patients with these specific procedures. Consult with multiple doctors and ask to see before-and-after cases before you make a final decision. The key to optimal facial feminine surgery results is balance and harmony, so be sure that your chosen doctor's aesthetic matches your personal goals and wishes.

Condo Fees and Homeowners Fee Longboat Key
There are many different rules and regulations when it comes to Condos and Homeowners Associations. Bruce Myer, Longboat Key Realtor who has been in the business for over forty years, often gets questions from buyers about these fees. In Longboat Key, each association has unigue rules and regulations based on the type of development.
Whether you choose to purchase a condominium unit or a home in a neighborhood with a homeowners association, (HOA), you're going to see a recurring bill to cover condo fees or HOA membership. In many ways, these fees are essentially the same and help fund the maintenance and upkeep of property for which the association acts as a steward. While largely the same, these fees may be used differently, depending upon the type of association.
Longboat Key Condo and HOA Associations
In Longboat Key, many associations are designed to maintain a certain standard in a development and to help keep things in excellent repair, Before you make an offer, you should be aware of what the condominium or HOA is. What they contain and what you can and cannot do.
The biggest difference between a condo association and an HOA is the scope of ownership. In a condo, each member individually owns his unit but maintains a joint ownership in the building and its grounds. Ties to a homeowners association aren't as tight: Homeowners individually own their lots and homes, and the HOA owns common areas. Homeowners have no vested interest in common areas owned by the HOA. Because of this, condo fees are typically paid to support the upkeep of one's own property, while HOA fees support another's holdings.
When you buy a condo, you are entering into an agreement with all other owners in your unit or the Association, an agreement to upkeep both your particular unit and to financially contribute to the maintenance of the shared property that makes your unit livable.
In most HOAs, fees are assessed uniformly, with each lot owner paying an equal share of upkeep for common areas. In areas with different types of homes, such as one with single-family houses and townhomes, assessments may not be split by household. Instead, townhome owners pay an assessment proportionate to their share in their communal lot, and owners of single-family homes pay a full assessment. A condo unit's assessment system isn't so clear-cut. Condo owners often have different percentages of ownership interest in the building, with larger units bearing a larger share of ownership. The association's costs aren't split evenly among each owner but paid in proportion to ownership percentages.

Bunk beds have been around for hundreds, perhaps even thousands of years. These beds offer many advantages when it comes to installing a bed into a room where more than one kid sleeps, as well as in many other settings where space is a particular issue that makes it difficult for multiple people to sleep in a single room or a limited amount of space.
Even though it is known that bunk beds have been in use for a considerable amount of time, no accurate data has yet been discovered recovering the true origin of these beds. In this post, we'll take a look at what is known about the history of bunk beds and also give you an overview of the most popular types of bunk beds (Read More)that you can choose from.
Bunk beds have come a long way since its first designs, but even the most recent options still share some characteristics with older designs – these are, essentially, what differentiates a bunk bed from a regular bed. A bunk bed is mainly used to save space, which is why these beds usually come stacked on top of each other. In most cases, only two beds will be stacked, with a ladder giving people access to the upper level.
There are fancier and modern designs out there that advances on these features, but the general idea still remains that bunk beds include the stacking of beds on top of each other to assist with saving space.
The history of bunk beds is somewhat vague, especially if we consider where these beds originated from. No documentation or scriptures have yet been found to provide an accurate suggestion as to where bunk beds really came from. The majority of evidence that has been found to date suggests that bunk beds originated from the ancient Egypt. The original concept that has been discovered from ancient Egypt times were similar to a loft but were modified through the years to make the bunk beds we know and love today. Other suggestions have also been made, however.
Bunk beds have been modified to suit the needs of specific settings in the modern world, giving customers the ability to choose from a number of different bunk bed types when they decide to shop for one of these beds. Let's look at some of the most popular bunk bed types.
This is often considered the traditional bunk bed with two twin-sized beds mounted on top of each other. A ladder is usually provided that allows a person to access the bed mounted at the top.
Another popular option, the twin over double bunk bed design features a twin-sized bed at the top and a double-sized bed at the bottom.
A more recent design that is made to form an L-shape. These bunk beds usually include two twin-sized beds, but the beds are not mounted directly on top of each other. Instead, an area is built into the design that provides different types of features such as drawers or working space.
An option that is more popular in settings such as the military or camps. The triple-stacked bunk bed design features three twin-sized beds that are stacked on top of each other. A ladder is used to access the middle and top bed.
This is one of the most convenient options when it comes to bunk beds. The design enables the bottom bed to be converted into a couch during the day and then back into a bed when a person wants to sleep.
Whether looking for a way to save space in a single room that two of your children need to share, or trying to find the perfect way to save space in your small apartment, bunk beds with steps offer great versatility. Newer bunk beds also come in some sophisticated design varieties, providing a way to not only save space but also add an attractive new accessory in a room.

NHS cuts access to vital drug liothyronine after cost increases by 5,600%
Billy Kenber, Investigations Reporter
Healthcare commissioners will not pay for Liothyronine, a thyroid drugJulien Behal/Press Association
The number of NHS prescriptions for a life-changing thyroid drug has fallen by about 40 per cent after a pharmaceutical company put the price of a tablet up from 16p to £9.22 — a rise of 5,663 per cent.
Thousands of patients have been denied liothyronine because healthcare commissioners will not pay for it.
Peter Taylor, a Cardiff University endocrinologist, called for urgent measures to tackle its cost. The research, published in The Lancet, analysed prescribing data in England over five years and found that a 40 per cent fall in doctors prescribing the drug was "largely driven by cost" as there was no new medical evidence or change in guidelines.
The research found differences in the rate of prescriptions in different areas and a…

water panels (using vacuum tubes).
Solar thermal panels absorb heat from sunlight. Typically this can be used to provide domestic hot water.
Solar thermal panels are generally cheaper to install, and produce more energy than photovoltaic panels (which generate electricity) of the same size. However, hot water cannot be exported to a 'grid' as electricity can, therefore it is only sensible to generate as much as a household can reasonably use.
a significant reduction to your fuel bills - a field trial by the energy saving trust found savings of 60% for hot water energy needs, on system which were correctly sized and installed, and used sensibly. The median saving was only 39% but the best was 98%.
via the government's Renewable Heat Incentive, which is expected to give you a significant return on your installation cost.
But in addition to saving yourself money, you will be benefiting the environment by burning less fossilfuel.
To get the most benefit you should time your heating system to top up the water temperature in the early evening if necessary, after the sun has done what it can. The worst thing you can do is to top up the water temperature in the morning, so when the sun comes up the cylinder is already hot.
However this doesn't mean you need to change you habits to use the hot water in the evening. Provided your cylinder and pipes are well insulated the tank will still be hot enough the next morning. After all you don�t need water at 60°C or even 50°C to run a shower or bath.
Flat plates - These are generally considered aesthetically pleasing, looking a bit like dormer windows. A glass panel at the front traps the sun's rays to heat a working fluid (typically, water with antifreeze) circulating through pipes behind the glass. This fluid is pumped through one coil of your water cylinder, transferring its heat to the water.
Evacuated tubes - The panel consists of an array of glass tubes, evacuated to improve thermal insulation. Inside each tube is a heat pipe (typically containing a small amount of alcohol), which transfers the solar energy to a heat exchanger at the top of the array. The hot fluid from the heat exchanger is pumped to your cylinder, as for the flat panel type.
You can also get evacuated tubes hidden by flat glass, as shown in the picture.
A solar thermal installation is unlikely to meet the total domestic hot water need, especially in the winter; therefore it is more normal to combine it with a conventional (e.g. gas fired) heating system.
Your hot water cylinder needs dual coils � but most suppliers can also provide a suitable replacement cylinder.
Some solar thermal systems require a vented hot water system. If your existing system is pressurised, check for compatibility with your supplier.
You will need to add a hot water cylinder for the panels to heat up.
If your combi boiler accepts pre-heated water (check with the manufacturer) then this cylinder can feed into the combi.
If it isn't then cold water is mixed in to make it cool enough for the boiler to accept - typically 30C. So you still get some benefit from the stored solar heat.
Adding solar heating to a conventional boiler will reduce the fuel usage to the extent that during the summer, many users find that they do not need to use their boilers at all.
Solar thermal is not generally recommended for space heating, as it is too variable and would require a large reservoir of heat if it is to be useful at night. Also there is little requirement for space heating except in winter and you would need an awful lot of solar panels to make much difference - giving you far more heat than you need in the summer.
You will still get some heat, even during the winter.
On a sunny day, it's theoretically possible to get 95°C - but the control system will limit the output to a safe temperature. The hotter you run your tank the more heat you can store but there is a risk that it will scale up more quickly. Also, you should have a thermostatic mixer valve to add some cold water before it runs to the taps to avoid risk of scalding. You only need this if you allow the system to heat the water above about 65°C. On days when there is not enough sun your boiler will top up the heat as necessary.
Evacuated tubes usually have a built-in thermal isolator for extra safety, to prevent the water from boiling.
For a house with a South facing roof, 2-4 square metres should be a rule of thumb. This should provide 100% of an average family's hot water requirement during the summer, and maybe 60% of the requirement averaged over the year. You can of course choose a smaller or bigger installation depending on your need.
N.B. With an evacuated tube system the actual collector area is less than the roof-space occupied, because there are gaps between the tubes; however this is more than compensated by the collectors being more efficient than flat panels.
Also note that an evacuated tube system is normally one large unit, making them suitable for large roofs. By contrast, a flat panel system can be made up of smaller units which can distributed to make better use of awkwardly shaped roofs.
You will need more roof space to give a similar amount of heat. For example, some houses have panels on both East and West facing roofs (in such cases, each panel will be pumped independently so that the heat collected on the sunward side is not simply re-radiated on the cold side).
More generally, the efficiency of the panels varies with orientation, in much the same way as for photovoltaic panels. Our PV FAQ contains graphs showing this effect.
Ideally (in England) they should be mounted on a 40 degree slope; deviation from the ideal angle will result in less heat being collected. Many suppliers can provide brackets for mounting at this angle on flat or vertical surfaces.
You will need a hot water cylinder, to store the heat gathered during the day. For a stand-alone solar thermal system, this will need one heat exchange coil.
However it is more likely that the cylinder is part of a conventional (e.g. gas-fired) hot water systems; in this case, it must have two coils (one for the boiler, one for the solar panel). For many existing hot water systems, this will require an upgrade.
To receive any RHI or other benefits, installation should be done by an MCS certified installer.
Solar panels are normally a permitted development if you are putting them on your roof, even in a conservation area. But if your house is listed, check with your local authority. The planning portal gives more detailed advice.
Systems generally carry a warranty of about 10 years but should last 25 years.
Occasional topping up of antifreeze should be the only thing required on most systems. However it is important to check regularly that it is working. You may not notice otherwise, since your boiler will top up the heat anyway. The easiest way is usually to check the temperature of the tank in the late afternoon, after the sun has been shining but before the boiler cuts in to top the heat up if necessary (assuming you have configured the boiler to top up in the evening, if the tank isn't already hot enough).
In fact breakages are rare, but each tube is self-contained so if it does break, the rest of the system can still function. Replacement of a broken tube is easy.
Some systems allow this, but it may need a controller upgrade.
For a normal semi-detatched house, expect to pay about �3000 to �5000 plus VAT (but solar panels qualify for the reduced rate of 5%). Although this may be a large outlay, the RHI (see below) is expected to make it a reasonable financial investment.
You will need a Green Deal Advice Report and if this recommends loft insulation or cavity wall insulation you need to get that done first.
To qualify for the RHI, your installed must be MCS certified. They will give you the documentation you need to apply. There is more information on the RHI on the OFGEM website.


The European Conference on Media, Communication and Film 2017 (EuroMedia2017) will be held alongside The European Conference on Arts and Humanities (ECAH2017) in the cosmopolitan and culturally-rich city of Brighton, UK.
EuroMedia2017 Conference Theme: "History, Story, Narrative"
How, then, best to write it? Is it always the victor's version? Have we not begun increasingly to write "history from below", that lived by those who are not at the top of the power hierarchy? Are accounts of history always gender-inflected, hitherto, at least, towards men rather than women? Who gets to tell history if the issue is colonialism or class? How does geography, the power of place, intersect with history? What is the status of the personal story or narrative within the larger frame of events?
This conference addresses issues of writing history from literary and other discursive perspectives. That is to say: novels, plays, poems, autobiographies, memoirs, diaries, travel logs and a variety of styles of essay. One thinks of Shakespeare's history plays, Tolstoy's War and Peace, Shi Nai'an's The Water Margin, Balzac's La Comédie Humaine. It also addresses oral history, the spoken account or witness, the Hiroshima survivor to the modern Syrian migrant.
Which also connects to the nexus of media and history. The great "historical" films continue to hold us, be it Eisenstein's October: Ten Days That Shook the World (1925) or Gone with the Wind (1940). We live in an age of documentaries, whether film or TV. There is a view that we also inhabit "instant" history, the download to laptop, the app, the all-purpose mobile. How has this technology changed our perception, our lived experience, of history? What is the role of commemoration, parade, holiday, festival or statuary in the writing of history?
This conference, we hope, will address these perspectives and others that connect and arise.
For the fourth year, The European Conference on Media, Communication and Film will be held alongside The European Conference on Arts and Humanities. Registration for either of these conferences will allow participants to attend sessions in the other.
In conjunction with our global partners, we look forward to extending a warm welcome to you in 2017.
Further programming will be announced in the coming weeks and months.
The IAFOR Journal of Media, Communication and Film (jomcf.iafor.org) is an editorially independent journal associated with EuroMedia2017. The editor of the journal will select the strongest papers from associated conference proceedings for consideration. This open access journal, which conforms to the highest academic standards, reflects the interdisciplinary and international nature of our conferences.
THINK (think.iafor.org), The Academic Platform, is IAFOR's online magazine, publishing the latest in interdisciplinary research and ideas from some of the world's foremost academics, many of whom have presented at IAFOR conferences. Content is varied in both subject and form, with everything from full research papers, to shorter opinion pieces, interviews, podcasts, film and photography.
If you have attended an IAFOR conference within the past year, or belong to an affiliated university or institution, we offer additional discounts in appreciation of your support. Please contact us at euromedia@iafor.org for details.

The Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program
In August of 2016, Cause of Action Institute ("CoA Institute") submitted a Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") request, seeking the following information about the Outer Continental Shelf ("OCS"):
Because of the agency's failure to release records responsive to this request, CoA Institute filed a FOIA lawsuit on November 11, 2016. Recently, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management ("BOEM") provided its 10th and final production. While CoA Institute is still in active litigation regarding this request, considering the new administration and its priorities, we thought it of value to discuss our findings to date. However, to fully understand the process, we believe that some background on the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act ("OCSLA"), 43 U.S.C., is necessary.
The Outer Continental Shelf and OCSLA background
The outer continental shelf is made up of "all submerged lands lying seaward and outside of the area of lands beneath navigable waters…and of which the subsoil and seabed appertain to the United States and are subject to its jurisdiction and control." OCSLA was enacted on August 7, 1953 and governs the policies and procedures related to the OCS. Under OCSLA, the Secretary of Interior (the "Secretary") is responsible for the administration of mineral exploration as well as other OCS development (i.e., wind energy).[1] Further, through OCSLA, the Secretary may grant leases to the highest qualified responsible bidder based on sealed competitive bids.[2] OCSLA also provides guidelines for implementing an OCS oil and gas exploration and development program.[3] This program, the Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program, is commonly referred to as the "Five-Year Program".
Specifications under the Five-Year Program
As provided in the OCSLA, the Five-Year Program shall have a schedule that indicates as precisely as possible, the size, timing and location of leasing activity best suited for national energy needs during the five-year period following its approval or re-approval.[4] In reviewing the five-year program, the BOEM looks at a variety of economic and environmental factors. The timing and location of exploration, development, and production of oil and gas on the OCS shall be based on consideration of eight factors.
These factors are:
"(A) existing information concerning the geographical, geological, and ecological characteristics of such regions; (B) an equitable sharing of developmental benefits and environmental risks among the various regions; (C) the location of such regions with respect to, and the relative needs of, regional and national energy markets; (D) the location of such regions with respect to other uses of the sea and seabed, including fisheries, navigation, existing or proposed sea-lanes, potential sites of Deepwater ports, and other anticipated uses of the resources and space of the outer Continental Shelf; (E) the interest of potential oil and gas producers in the development of oil and gas resources as indicated by exploration or nomination; (F) laws, goals, and policies of affected States which have been specifically identified by the Governors of such States as relevant matters for the Secretary's consideration; (G) the relative environmental sensitivity and marine productivity of different areas of the outer Continental Shelf; and (H) relevant environmental and predictive information for different areas of the outer Continental Shelf."
Further, the Five-Year Program provides that the Secretary shall request and contemplate input from federal agencies and the Governor of any State that could be affected under the proposed leasing program. Suggestions from local government executives in states that may be affected, which have been previously mentioned to the Governor of such State and any other person may also be considered. Under 43 U.S.C. §1331, the term "person" includes, in addition to a natural person, an association, a State, a political subdivision of a State, or a private, public, or municipal corporation.
The Five-Year Program "process includes three separate comment periods, two separate draft proposals, a final draft proposal, a final secretarial proposal, and development of environmental impact statement (EIS)." This process, takes approximately two and a half years to complete. As mentioned above, input from federal agencies, state and local government, and any other person, may be considered. After the Secretary approves the program, the Proposed Final Five-Year Program is sent to the President and Congress. After at least sixty days, the Secretary may approve the program. The Department of Interior cannot offer an area for lease without it being included in an approved Five-Year Program.
The Secretary shall review the leasing program approved under this section at least once a year. After Secretarial approval, the geographic scope of a lease sale area can be narrowed, cancelled, or delayed without the development of a new program. The Secretary shall, by regulation, establish procedures for various steps in the management process. Such procedures will apply to various activities, including any significant revision or reapproval of the leasing program.
This series will continue next week with a comparison between the requirements outlined above and the process that took place during the 2017-2022 planning process.

Q: where is bin directory in rails3? I am trying to place the wkhtmltopdf executable in the "bin directory" of my rails project so that it works with heroku, as mentioned here.
dumb question....where is the "bin" folder in the rails project? I placed the executable in root of my executable, however, heroku gives an error saying:
No wkhtmltopdf executable found at /app/bin/wkhtmltopdf-i386

And the following code is used to provide path for wkhtmltopdf
config.wkhtmltopdf = Rails.root.join('bin', 'wkhtmltopdf-i386');

A: You need to create the bin folder under the app/ folder and add it in there.
mkdir app/bin

A plastic surgeon deals with the repair, reconstruction or replacement of physical defects of form or function involving the skin, musculoskeletal system, craniomaxillofacial structures, hand, extremities, breast and trunk and external genitalia or cosmetic enhancement of these areas of the body. Cosmetic surgery is an essential component of plastic surgery. The plastic surgeon uses cosmetic surgical principles to both improve overall appearance and to optimize the outcome of reconstructive procedures. The surgeon uses aesthetic surgical principles not only to improve undesirable qualities of normal structures but in all reconstructive procedures as well. Special knowledge and skill in the design and surgery of grafts, flaps and free tissue transfer and replantation is necessary. Competence in the management of complex wounds, the use of implantable materials and in tumor surgery is required. Plastic surgeons have been prominent in the development of innovative techniques such as microvascular and craniomaxillofacial surgery, liposuction and tissue transfer. Anatomy, physiology, pathology and other basic sciences are fundamental to the specialty.
Competency in plastic surgery implies an amalgam of basic medical and surgical knowledge, operative judgment, technical expertise, ethical behavior and interpersonal skills to achieve problem resolution and patient satisfaction.
