Commr. of array, Berks. Dec. 1399.
Before the death of his father in 1399, the younger Sir Richard Adderbury held only those estates in Berkshire which his marriage had brought him. These comprised his wife's paternal inheritance — including the manors of Stainswick and 'Cleets' in Denchworth as well as a number of properties at Lambourn — together with her interest for life in a substantial part of the Danvers estates, due to pass eventually to her son, William Danvers*. The marriage had taken place by 1388, when Adderbury and his wife sold some land in Longcot.3
By that time Adderbury's career was already well begun. While his father was devoting his energies to serving the Black Prince in Aquitaine, he attached himself to the prince's brother, John of Gaunt, whom he followed on campaign in 1370. By 1372 he was in receipt of a retaining fee payable by the receiver-general of the duchy of Lancaster, and within a few years he had been made a knight of the duke's chamber. In May 1381 he took out royal letters of protection as about to sail for Portugal, most likely for service in the army led by the earl of Cambridge, intending to prosecute Gaunt's claim to the throne of Castile. When, in the summer of 1385, Adderbury rode north to Scotland as a member of the army led by Richard II in person, it was no doubt as one of Gaunt's contingent, for by Michaelmas that year his annuity from the duchy estates had risen to £20. The following spring (1386) saw him once more in Portugal, this time accompanying two other English negotiators sent to promote a treaty crucial for Lancaster's plans to invade Galicia. The resulting alliance, concluded on 9 May and afterwards known as the treaty of Windsor, was to have long-term importance in Anglo-Portuguese relations. No sooner back in England, Adderbury made preparations to return to the Iberian peninsula, this time with the army raised by his lord. It was while awaiting embarkation at Plymouth in June that he made his deposition to the constable's court, in favour of Richard, Lord Scrope, in the latter's celebrated dispute with Sir Robert Grosvenor. (His father was to do likewise at Westminster a few months later.) Adderbury remained in Spain with Lancaster throughout the following year, and at some unknown date before July 1388 he was made the duke's chamberlain. In this capacity he travelled to Paris in the autumn of 1389 in order to procure safe-conducts from Charles VI for Gaunt's return home overland from Bayonne.4
John of Gaunt lent his bachelor Adderbury £200 in order to allow him to accompany Henry of Bolingbroke to Prussia on the latter's first expedition there. By now an experienced diplomat, Adderbury was to be employed during the 1390s on a number of missions on behalf of Richard II and his uncle Gaunt, although since only two of these journeys were accorded the status of formal embassies, documentation about them is generally meagre. It is known, for instance, that he took out royal letters of exchange before travelling overseas in May 139I, but his destination is not recorded. More important, he received 100 marks at the Exchequer in December 1393 for his expenses and reward in accomplishing a mission to France on secret business of the King, connected with the long drawn-out negotiations with Charles VI towards a permanent peace (negotiations in which Lancaster had taken a prominent part). The secret treaty concluded earlier was to be submitted to Parliament for its approval in January following, and it seems quite likely that Adderbury's election to this same Parliament took place because he was known to be conversant with these weighty affairs and enjoyed personal access to the King. Indeed, it was expressly because he was in Richard's confidence that in August following he and a fellow knight of the King's chamber were sent to treat with the duke of Bavaria for an alliance. Accordingly, he was absent overseas from that October until January 1395, when he reported to the King at Dublin before returning home. He received £1 a day for his expenses, as well as just over £10 for his crossings from Calais to Dover and from Chester to Ireland. No more than seven months elapsed before he was back in southern Germany, having received a fresh commission on a similar diplomatic purpose, but with extended powers; and the following year (1396) saw him travelling to Aachen to negotiate for a settlement of claims made by certain English merchants.5 During his second appearance in the House of Commons, in 1397, Adderbury was no doubt able to contribute to the discussions lessons learned as a royal envoy to foreign courts.
Throughout the 1390s, although often busy on missions overseas, Adderbury remained in close contact with the duke of Lancaster and members of his entourage. For instance, in 1397 he assisted Sir John Dabrichecourt*, a fellow Lancastrian retainer, to raise £600 as purchase-price for the marriage of the son and heir of Philip, Lord Darcy. In August that same year John of Gaunt entrusted an important letter to the King to 'mon tresbien ame bachiler, monsire Richard Abberbury le fitz', and in his will drawn up in the following February the duke made Adderbury a bequest of 50 marks. Moreover, Adderbury's subsequent tenure of the duchy of Lancaster manor of East Garston, Berkshire, worth as much as £50 a year, was almost certainly owed to Gaunt's patronage.6
Strange to relate, the accession to the throne of John of Gaunt's son, Henry of Bolingbroke, was not a signal for Adderbury's further advancement. On the contrary, after 1399 Sir Richard ceased to have contact with the royal court and, following his appointment to a single commission of array, he took no further part in local administration, either. Perhaps the life-long devotion of his father to Richard of Bordeaux, and his own personal contacts with that monarch made the change of ruler regrettable to him. There is no evidence that any of the many journeys overseas which he took during Henry IV's reign were on business of state; indeed, their purpose may well have been private, and on one occasion at least a pilgrimage was intended. He took out royal letters of attorney before going abroad in 1401, 1410 and 1411, and in the meantime, in 1407 and 1409, he obtained authorization to exchange sums of 100 marks and £120, respectively, into Italian currency. No doubt these journeys were expensive ventures, and Adderbury is known to have sometimes run up debts, as in 1400 when he was sued by a London merchant for £31, or another time when he owed the earl of Salisbury 20 marks.7
It was at the very end of this obscure, final phase of his career that Adderbury took the extraordinary step of selling off the very substantial estates he had inherited from his father in 1399. True, by this time he was growing old, and there was little hope that his marriage of nearly 30 years' duration would produce heirs: as a petitioner later put it, Sir Richard 'havyng non issue and beyng of right grete age prefered ... to sell'. Even so, such a large scale disposal of ancestral estates was an unusual event in the 15th century. By a series of transactions completed early in 1415 Adderbury first made arrangements regarding his wife Alice's lands in South Denchworth and her rents from 30 messuages in Lambourn (ensuring, however, that after the deaths of the donees his wife or her heirs would once more receive an income from these properties); then in a much more drastic move he sold outright to Thomas Chaucer* the castle and manor of Donnington and five other manors, together with the reversionary interest after his own and his wife's deaths in three more (Kidlington, Hanwell and Thatcham). At the same time he made a settlement on Sir Richard Arches*, the son of his sister Lucy, of a substantial part of his inheritance in Oxfordshire, consisting of the manors of Steeple Aston, Glympton, Ludwell, Duns Tew and Souldern. It remains a mystery as to what happened to the money raised by these transactions; perhaps it had already been spent overseas. Certainly, the name of the younger Sir Richard Adderbury, unlike that of his father, is not remembered in connexion with the endowment of religious institutions.8
Neither Sir Richard nor his wife lived long after disposing of the Adderbury estates. They are last recorded in the Hilary term of 1416 as still in possession of the manor of Hanwell — which was due to revert to Thomas Chaucer on their deaths — and Alice, who outlived her husband, was dead by September following. Many years later, in 1448, Richard Adderbury of Newbury (most likely this Sir Richard's nephew) took advantage of the Crutched friars' failure to respect the provisions of Sir Richard Adderbury I's foundation at Donnington priory to seize their land at Souldern and sell it to the duke of Suffolk. Thus, all the ancestral estates of the Adderburys were finally dispersed.9

Why we no longer count on politics to solve America's problems
The U.S. Capitol on March 21, 2018. (Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post)
Opinion by Charles Koch and Brian Hooks
August 13, 2019 at 7:27 p.m. UTC
Charles Koch, board chairman and chief executive of Koch Industries, is the founder of the philanthropic community Stand Together, where Brian Hooks is chairman and chief executive.
The political season is upon us, and candidates are working hard to differentiate themselves. Yet politicians from both major parties largely agree on two key points.
The first is long overdue: There is broad agreement that, despite unprecedented progress in many areas of the country, too many people are being left behind. Look no further than to what Angus Deaton, a Nobel laureate in economics, calls "deaths of despair": rising addiction, alienation, suicide. America is fast becoming a two-tiered society, with some communities doing very well and others faring far worse.
The second point of politicians' agreement is deeply worrisome: Republicans and Democrats generally want to solve this crisis by relying on top-down solutions — grand plans done to people rather than inclusive projects done by people. Though the options offered by the two parties often take divergent paths, many end up in the same place. Socialism, protectionism, nationalism, populism — ideas increasingly advocated on both the left and right rest on the troubling assumption that the stroke of a politician's pen can turn the country around.
History knows better. The tools of politics are limited, and the nation's overemphasis on what politics can accomplish is, in part, responsible for the polarization that's making it harder to get anything done. Americans are asking too much of politics.
We say this as the founder and the leader of an organization that has done its part to test the proposition that politics can cure what ails us. For several years, we supported efforts in partisan politics with the goal of moving the United States forward. The results fell far short of what we considered acceptable. Worse, partisan efforts on both sides have made it harder to come together as a country. That's why we've dramatically changed how we engage in the political process, having asked the question "What's possible through partisanship?"
The answer: not much.
To be sure, public policy has a vital role to play in addressing the challenges the United States faces. That is why we have significantly increased our efforts to build coalitions based on policy partnerships, not partisanship. Far from walking away from policy, we're doubling down on what works. The historic criminal-justice reform enacted in December — passed in the Senate by a vote of 87 to 12 — is the blueprint for this approach. The First Step Act brought some fairness back to the justice system and will help thousands of Americans rejoin society and rebuild their lives.
Yet this accomplishment also illustrates why politics alone will not suffice. Those leaving prison also need businesses willing to hire them, education that can teach them the values and skills they need to succeed, and communities that are prepared to welcome them back and help them contribute. To ensure that these things happen, people across the country must become engaged well beyond politics and public policy.
The same is true of virtually every other issue the United States faces, including alleviating poverty, fixing the K-12 education system and improving health care. They all require bold policy action, but they also need much more than that.
Rather than relying on top-down ideas, these challenges require a bottom-up approach: empowering people of all walks of life to help find and enact solutions. Many of the most innovative and effective initiatives are driven by people who have overcome the problem they're addressing — people who are dedicating their lives to helping others do the same. These efforts can unite people from diverse backgrounds, and they deserve more attention and support.
What can help struggling communities succeed? We've learned a lot about the answer from Antong Lucky, the founder of a Dallas gang who turned his life around in prison and is now helping save others from repeating his mistakes, through the organization Urban Specialists . We've also seen what's possible from the founder of Café Momentum, a Dallas restaurant that hires young people with criminal records, helping them unlock their potential.
How do we tackle the crisis of drug addiction? Talk to Scott Strode, who struggled with substance use disorder but beat his addiction through physical fitness and peer-to-peer support and then founded a group called the Phoenix to help others do the same — a group that's twice as effective as some of the best clinical programs.
And how can we improve upon health-care costs and access? It will almost certainly come through innovations such as telemedicine — a still-young technology that has already been proved to lower some costs by as much as 90 percent — rather than any version of Medicare-for-all.
These examples are a tiny fraction of the transformative work happening across the United States, far from the political brawls. When it comes to fixing the country's biggest problems, there is no quick fix — no single solution from on high. Rather, there are countless solutions that depend on empowering people across the country to do their part. Politicians can help by passing policies that break down the barriers that hold people back. That's critical, but there is so much more that we need to do, and can do, together.
Matthew Charles: I was released under the First Step Act. Here's what Congress should do next.
Katrina vanden Heuvel: For criminal justice reform, the First Step Act is just the start
Lynn S. Adelman: The tough-on-crime law Democrats are overlooking
Catherine Rampell: A question missing from the health-care debate: Will doctors make less money?
David Von Drehle: We shouldn't idolize wealth. But we shouldn't demonize it either.

Violeta del Carmen Parra Sandoval ( - ), connue sous le nom de Violeta Parra, est une artiste chilienne engagée qui a remis à l'honneur la musique populaire et traditionnelle de son pays et l'a fait connaître au-delà des frontières du Chili.

Biographie

Violeta Parra est née à San Fabián d'Alico, dans la région de Chillán, au sud du Chili, d'un père professeur de musique, et d'une mère paysanne, qui joue de la guitare et chante.
À neuf ans, elle commence à s'intéresser à la guitare et au chant, et compose ses premières chansons à l'âge de douze ans. Elle fait des études de professeur à l'École Normale de Santiago du Chili, et simultanément, commence à se produire dans de petites salles.

En 1938, elle épouse Luis Cereceda, dont elle a deux enfants : Isabel Parra et Ángel Parra, qui s'orienteront plus tard eux aussi vers une carrière musicale et artistique. Violeta se sépare de son époux en 1948.

Elle se remarie plus tard avec Luis Arce avec qui elle a deux filles : Carmen Luisa et Rosita Clara.

À partir de 1952, conseillée par son frère Nicanor Parra, elle parcourt le Chili en enregistrant et notant les chansons folkloriques et traditionnelles de son pays. Ce voyage lui fait en même temps prendre conscience de la richesse musicale du Chili.

Elle compose des chansons, réalise des tapisseries et des sculptures avec « ce qu'elle peut trouver », au hasard de son humeur créatrice.

En 1954, Violeta Parra est invitée en Pologne avec ses enfants Isabel et Ángel, visite avec eux l'Union Soviétique et l'Europe. Elle s'établit durant deux ans en France, où elle enregistre ses premiers disques de musique traditionnelle, et de compositions personnelles (dont deux chansons interprétées en français). Durant ce voyage, elle apprend la mort de sa fille Rosita Clara, décédée 28 jours après son départ.

Elle rencontre des artistes et des intellectuels européens, puis retourne au Chili, où elle expose un peu plus tard ses tapisseries.

En 1960, elle rencontre l'anthropologue et musicien suisse Gilbert Favre, qui devient l'amour de sa vie, et à qui elle dédiera certaines de ses chansons d'amour les plus connues (, , , , entre autres).

En 1961, elle démarre une tournée avec ses enfants Isabel et Ángel, en Finlande, en URSS, Allemagne, Italie et France, et elle s'installe à Paris pour trois ans où elle enregistre avec Isabel et Ángel Parra l'album  pour le label Arion. Elle se produit avec Isabel et Ángel dans des salles du Quartier latin, et passe quelquefois dans des programmes de radio. Elle expose ses tapisseries en 1964 au Pavillon de Marsan, et devient la première sud-américaine à exposer individuellement ses œuvres au Musée du Louvre.

Elle séjourne à Genève entre 1963 et 1965, avec Gilbert Favre, et voyage en Suisse. Ils mènent une « vie de bohème », voisinant quantité d'artistes de passage. Ses tapisseries font l'objet d'une exposition improvisée à l'université de Genève. Sa fille Carmen-Luisa et sa petite-fille Tita (Cristina) habitent à Onex.

Retournée au Chili, elle installe un grand chapiteau dans les faubourgs de Santiago. Elle veut en faire un Centre des arts, soutenue par ses enfants et d'autres artistes comme Patricio Manns, Rolando Alarcón et Víctor Jara, mais sans parvenir à motiver ou intéresser le grand public. Elle enregistre de nouveaux disques, voyage en Bolivie en 1966, donne une série de concerts au Sud du Chili, puis retourne à Santiago pour continuer son travail artistique au Centre des arts, où elle écrira ses dernières chansons.

Sa relation avec Gilbert Favre, qui part en Bolivie en 1966 (où il sera cofondateur du groupe musical ), se termine ; ce drame personnel lui inspire une de ses chansons les plus connues, Run Run Se Fue Pa'l Norte.

Elle revient alors au Chili, où elle enregistre ce qui sera son dernier disque, également dédié à Gilbert Favre, avec de nombreuses compositions connues : , , , ,  et .

Le , à quarante-neuf ans, et après plusieurs tentatives ratées, Violeta Parra met fin à ses jours au revolver dans les faubourgs de Santiago.

Postérité

Sa chanson la plus connue est  (« Merci à la vie »), popularisée dans le monde par Joan Baez, María Dolores Pradera, U2, Mercedes Sosa, Elis Regina, Colette Magny et María Farantoúri (grande chanteuse grecque, dirigée par Mikis Theodorakis), Florent Pagny (dans son album Baryton. Gracias a la vida), etc.

En 2011, le Chilien Andrés Wood réalise un film sur la vie de Violeta Parra, , d'après le roman éponyme de son fils Ángel Parra.

En 2017, Lula Pena la chante dans son troisième album, Archivo Pittoresco.

Une plaque sur le lieu où elle a vécu à Genève est inaugurée en 2017, en présence des autorités et de la présidente chilienne Michelle Bachelet.

En 2019 à Genève l'association l'Escouade dans le cadre du projet 100elles renomme temporairement une rue à son nom.

Fondation Violeta Parra
Une fondation lui est dédiée en . Actuellement présidée par sa fille Isabel Parra, elle a pour objet de réunir et organiser la mémoire et l'œuvre de Violeta Parra.

It is a small and clever way to get rid of your acne scars, wrinkles and other ailments.
the devices can be used on every type of skin (thin or thick): face, hands, limbs, buttocks, etc.
they heal many dermatological problems.
When our body starts losing suppleness, wrinkles or other imperfections such as post-surgical scars appear on our faces. The therapy with the Eviala Derma Roller and the Eviala Derma Stamp will bring back youthful smoothness, vitality and healthy colouring. Thanks to the work of many medical specialists we can benefit from the effectiveness of treatments with the Eviala Derma products.

Even today, you can order and try out the original Eviala Derma Roller along with the Eviala Derma Stamp to get rid of skin problems once and for all.
Many years of experience in the sale of cosmetic and care devices, as well as the constant contact with Clients allowed creating a very valuable guideline which presents the most frequently asked questions of our Clients concerning our products.
What do the Eviala Derma Roller and the Eviala Derma Stamp do?
These are two specialist devices used for skin care. Micro-needles which are situated on the Derma Roller or the Derma Stamp gently stimulate the cells of the dermis which results in multiplying new, healthy tissues. This is a perfect therapy restoring looks with no scars, wounds, swellings and reddening.
How to use the Eviala Derma tools?
The Eviala Derma is based on micro-needles made of titanium steel whose length is chosen to healing a particular skin type or the phase of ailment development. The care with this device consists in a gentle, systematic micro-needling of the epidermis and in result the cells are stimulated and begin to multiply what reinforces and rebuilds the structure of tissues, elastic and collagen fibers. The human organism in order to begin an intensified regeneration of cells needs impulse. If a wound scars, our brain acknowledges that the damage is healed and it stops further multiplication of cells. When we stimulate the place with micro-needling, growth cells are stimulated to produce collagen and elastin and every skin imperfection gets smooth and firm.
Do these devices support the healing of aging effects, such as wrinkles or flabby skin?
Yes, the Eviala Derma improves the looks of wrinkled, flabby skin. Regular use can even reduce the amount of wrinkles to a degree that they will be almost invisible.
How long should the procedure last?
On average the treatment should last between 15-30 minutes. However, it depends on the area of body which is subjected to the procedure. Places with calloused skin need to be massaged longer, while thinner skin shorter.
Can all household members use the Eviala Derma?
No, individual exploitation is advised. The Eviala Derma devices cannot be tested on children or animals.
Will the needles in the devices bend and tear out the skin?
The needles are made of titanium steel, this is why they are very durable.
How deep do the needles penetrate the skin?
What are the first impressions after using the Eviala Derma Roller (or Stamp)?
During the first minutes our skin adjusts to the touch of the micro-needles and we can feel a small skin-nerve shock. After a while, the feeling transforms into gentle, pleasing tickling. The skin after the treatment is a bit reddened, but this effect subsides very quickly. After one hour since the procedure, there are practically no signs of needling and the skin becomes firm and full of vitality.
How long does one have to wait for pleasing effects of the therapy?
First effects are visible after a few treatments. The skin becomes more firm, smooth and thanks to the stimulation it regenerates faster. The increase of collagen and elastin causes the dermis to obtain more vitality. The biggest effectiveness of treatments (according to Clients) is visible after 6 weeks.
How to maintain the device after a treatment?
It can be rinsed with hot water and disinfected with alcohol. There are also special disinfection fluids in sale.
How the micro-needling affects our blood vessels?
The recommendations of the Derma Roller or the Derma Stamp, besides acne, scars, wrinkles, cellulite, etc., include blood vessel care. Thanks to the procedures the cracked vessels will become invisible and the skin coloring will improve.
Is it possible to put cosmetics on skin after the treatment?
Yes, it is even recommended. Creams will penetrate better thanks to the micro-pores formed by the thin needles. Cosmetics will reach deeper parts of the skin and, for example, anti-wrinkle creams will intensify their activity.
The rollers sold by us are original and have a life-long quality warranty. We recommend to use one device from 3 to six months.
Does a sensitive person with a low threshold of pain have to use an anesthetic each time while using the micro-needles?
No, the skin after a regular use gets use to the micro-needles. After a few therapies, the needling pain will transform into an effect of pleasant tickling. However, at the beginning it is good to use anesthetics as it will soothe the pain.
What cosmetics can be used while conducting the Derma Roller treatments?
During regular procedures with the Derma Roller it is recommended to use cosmetics without preservatives. It is advised to use baby oils with vitamins - at the beginning and for advanced Derma Roller users. The composition of such baby oil includes: tri-glycerides, jojoba oil, vitamin E, ascorbic tetraisopalmitate, retinal acetate and a special filter. The product for a higher degree of procedures contains, besides the aforementioned constituents, also the retinal and the ascorbic.
Is there any risk of getting an infection while using the Eviala Derma Roller or Derma Stamp, for example, jaundice infection?
If we care about environmental hygiene –there should not be any side effects. After the treatment the ducts are open for 1-2 hours, this is why we should appropriately take care of ourselves. We advise using a mineral make-up. Patients did not report any cases of infections.
How to secure moles and birthmarks before conducting the treatment?
We should avoid these areas on our skin. They are very sensitive and should not be needled.
What should I use to wash my skin before the treatment?
There are many methods: it can be water with vitamin C (10-15%), an anti-bacterial tonic, other cleansing and regenerating preparations.
Are the therapies effective in case of stretch marks? How long will I have to wait for the 90% effects?
Yes, perfect effects are visible after 3 weeks of treatments. The stretch marks disappear.
Are there any side effects of the micro-needling?
We have not received any complaints or reports about side effects of using the Eviala Derma tools. Millions of treatments have been conducted all over the world, all of them positive.
How long does it take for the skin to regenerate after the reddening and sweeling?
The sensitivity of the skin disappears after one hour, the skin remains a bit reddened. However, it also depends on the type of pigment and human body.
How long should I soothe the reddening after the therapy with the Eviala Derma tools?
One can use sunscreen preparations with mineral constituents, for example, red and yellow iron oxide (optionally 3-4 hours after the treatment).
What is the difference between the Eviala Derma Roller and the Eviala Derma Stamp?
The Derma Roller is a roller with 192 micro-needles, while the Derma Stamp is a roller with a flat top, so called stamp, finished with 35 micro-needles.
How does the body react to the needling process?
Cells are stimulated in the surface area of the skin and this increases the production of collagen and elastin. Multiplication of healthy tissues is the next step and the tissues fill in the wrinkles, stretch marks, cellulite, etc. Thanks to the stimulation your body gets the impulse to multiply new cells in the place of a scar or wound, etc.
In which cases the needling process is not recommended?
We do not recommend using the Eviala Derma Roller in case of: open wound, cuts, sun burns, herpes, pimples or other skin infections.
People who suffer from wound that heal slowly or have problems with circulatory system, collodial scars or diabetes should not use micro-needling therapies. The use of the Derma tolls is also forbidden for pregnant and feeding women. There are medicines which use is not recommended at least two weeks before the procedure: Aspirin, Nurofen, antithrombotic drugs.
Is it true that the Eviala Derma prevent balding?
Yes, the Eviala Derma therapies are recommended for people suffering from balding and having skin problems.
Which needles to choose and what is the difference between them?
We have a wide range of needles sizes this is why one can match the needles to his/her ailments. The 0.5, 0.75 mm needles are recommended for wrinkles, 0.5 mm, 0.75 mm or 1.0 mm needles for skin discoloration, from 0.25 to 0.75 mm for enlarged pores, seborrhea, 0.5-3.0 mm for stretch marks, 0.25-0.35 for balding. The longer the needle the bigger the skin penetration and stronger the stimulation of the cells to multiply.
Treatments with the Eviala DermaRoller and Stamp are simple and effective. Below, one can find the step-by-step programme describing how correctly conduct a treatment using these specialist tools.
At first, let us prepare our body appropriately: let us wash our hands and the area which will be subjected to microneedling. Firstly, we can use detergents and later an anti-bacterial tonic or other skin nutrients. It is very essential to get rid of germs and microbes as during the treatment they can penetrate deep in our skin through the formed micro-ducts. Now, dry your body with a clean towel. The next step is to prepare a place for the Eviala Derma devices, for example, a table. It has to be sterile this is why it has to be cleaned very carefully. Besides the table, we will also need: a stopwatch, a bowl of cold water with gauze inside, a clean towel, paper towels, an anaesthetic (if someone is sensitive to pain) and a good moisturizing cream to our body or only the face.
Different parts of body can be subjected to needling this is why appropriate attention should be paid to each of them. In case of the treatment conducted on the face, we should spread it with an anaesthetic and wait till it works. If someone is not afraid of a gentle, stinging pain, the anaesthetic will not be necessary. The excess of the anaesthetic should be wiped off with a paper towel.
While needling the face we should avoid the areas of lips and eyelids. We turn on the stopwatch on which we write the recommended treatment time. We take the device and with gentle moves press the roller or the stamp with needles against our skin. When we use the Eviala Derma Roller we perform moves in every direction – vertically, horizontally, diagonally to right and left. We repeat it for ten times (towards each side). The roller does not have to be pressed strongly; even gentle moves will stimulate the skin and give tremendous effects.
While performing the micro-needling a small swelling and reddening can occur on our face, however it subsides after a couple of hours.
Persons who suffer from balding and seborrhoea dermatitis should wash their heads and dry them with a towel before the treatment. In a drug store, we need to buy a preparation (Minoxidil 5%) which we will later spread on the head. In case of the Eviala Derma Roller, the rolling should be performed only in one direction, for example, only forward. After the rolling, 1ml of the Minoxidil has to be spread on the head. After a couple of days when the skin begins to exfoliate it should be washed with a normal shampoo. It is recommended to repeat the treatment with the Eviala Derma Roller five times a week, for example, every evening. The procedure should last no longer than 30 minutes and no less than 15.
After using the Eviala Derma Roller and Stamp, the skin should be rinsed with cold water and dried. The needling area needs to be covered with moisturizing cream or other nutritious substances (anti-wrinkle cream, home-made vitamin creams, balsams, etc.) which will penetrate the deeper layers of the dermis thanks to the formed micro-ducts. Persons who use anesthetics should clean the area with a swab saturated in an anti-bacterial tonic before spreading the cream.
After the treatment, the Eviala Derma tools should be cleaned with hot water. Dried tools have to be sprayed with disinfection fluid or put into a container with a disinfection substance for around 30 minutes (especially if anesthetics were used) and then dried and put into a box. This post-treatment hygiene procedures will provide long-term use of the Eviala Derma tools.


If you have completed the onlineiq quiz, and received your results, you will have gained an understanding about the importance of doing things in the right order.
For example - there is no point pulling out all stops and spending money on website traffic, when your website is turning people off when they arrive. It is far more important to first make sure the site is perfectly ready for your visitors, so that the time and money you spend on getting people there is not wasted.
You may think that because you have a good looking website, this does not apply to you. Even brand new sites which have no strategy around their 'guest's journey' have people leave as quickly as they arrive. What a huge waste of time and energy.
And if your website has not been updated in a few years, let alone longer, it is unlikely to truly connect with your current intended audience.
You've got to impress the humans!
Forget about SEO and Advertising if your website does not connect with real humans in the very first instance. Even if you get all the visitors & traffic in the world - if your message is not connecting with people, it is all for nothing.
**Ensure your website is mobile friendly. If people can't easily see or read your website with ease, they will move on to the next one. Find out from Google how to mobile friendly your website is. If you need figures to convince you - read this.
Make sure someone who knows nothing about your business can tell within a few seconds what you do or sell. It's no good running this by family and friends. They already know. It is really hard to be objective about what we do, but embrace this sometimes harsh feedback. Better to know than not to know. A recent webinar by Megan Winter suggested that it should be 3 seconds in which someone can tell you what you do. Try it out with some perfect strangers!
Make sure you have something which connects with visitors at every stage of the 'buyers journey'. Someone who is ready to buy, has very different questions in their mind than someone who is only exploring their options. If this is something you need help with, feel free to get in touch.
Make sure your website looks professional! There are so many stories of extremely competent businesses being overlooked because they did not present a professional enough image. Is it time for an image overhaul?
Install Google Analytics and a Facebook Pixel so you learn more about who is coming to your website and their actions, so your paid activities become more effective.
Ensure you have strategic and functional workflows (often called funnels). It makes no sense to have a 'join this mailing list' box, if nothing happens when someone signs up.
Check that all your forms and online shopping carts are working. Things can change and stop working, so check your website regularly. You can join our monthly reminder list if you'd like a nudge, or simply put it in your calendar.
Marketing workflows are not a one off event, so ensure enquiries and any interest is captured into your database, so you can set up more automations. There is so much you can now do to follow up on people who have had any form of contact with you online.
Once the humans have been looked after, can now focus on this.
When you first have your site set up, certain 'best practices' should be implemented with things like keywords, and on page optimisation. But this only works if the right keywords are being targeted, and that you are responding to what the actual visitor analytics tell you.
Review your Analytics Data, and adjust your website content to suit.
**Keep improving your website so it scores highly in Google's best practices (the higher you score, the higher you will show up in search results). Things like Page Load speed (test here), Secure Certificates , and as mentioned earlier, having a mobile responsive website.
Pay for traffic once all your Humans and Workflows are taken care of.
Some people still find it hard to believe that Facebook Advertising is one of the most cost-effective ways of getting traffic. Talk to us if you want to know more about this.
The recommendations with a ** indicate that these are important to both humans and to google, so these are should be a top priority.
If you're wondering what the secure certificates are all about - you can read more here.
If you know what to focus on next - go forth and implement. If it has left you questioning or confused, feel free to book a call with me.


In this paper we review certain aspects around the Value-at-Risk, which is nowadays the industry benchmark risk measure. As a small quantile (usually 1%) Value-at-Risk is closely related to extreme value theory. We explain an estimation method based on extreme value theory. Since the variance of the estimated Value-at-Risk may depend on the dependence structure of the data, we investigate the extreme behaviour of some of the most prominent time series models in finance, continuous as well as discrete time models. We also determine optimal portfolios, when risk is measured by the Value-at-Risk. Again we use realistic models, moving away from the traditional Black-Scholes model to the class of Lévy processes. This paper is the contribution to a book by several authors on Extreme Value Theory, which will appear by CRC/Chapman and Hall.

Finding, choosing and getting started at an online casino site needn't be hard work nor a worry that it's going to be reputable or licensed. There are many online casinos and gambling sites out there, but often knowing which are the best and those which aren't recommended can be difficult to tell apart, especially if you're new to playing casino games online. Which is why, we've put some tips together below, to help you out, and also have listed the best casino sites online at the moment!
The popularity of online casinos has well and truly increased over the past 10 years, following the rise of online sports betting and online poker. Since modern technology has enabled faster internet, with Wi-Fi and mobile internet being available everywhere, people are engaging in more and more online games, including online casino games and slots.
Although there's a long list of best uk casino sites and top gambling sites you can play at, we personally tend to play at well-known casino sites which are long established, have a top notch reputation and are licensed by top gaming regulators including the UK Gambling Commission. That's in a nutshell. All of the casino sites we recommend on BestCasino.org.uk really are the best of the best.
Once you know a casino is absolutely ok to play at, then the rest is down to you and as we know, everyone's tastes differ; some people prefer tradtional casinos, and some people prefer modern themed casinos. The good news is there's many casinos out there that everyone will be able to find something that suits them.
In recent years some modern and 'themed' online casinos have sprung up, including Casumo Casino, Thrills Casino and also Rizk Casino, each offering offer a complete package of casino entertainment, starting from their theme/design to their rewards programs, most of which have in built rewards systems so you can track your progress whilst playing. These types of casinos are cutting edge and add a certain buzz and flair when playing as they're so unique.
There's still a market for traditional themed online casinos. Some casino players prefer to play online casino games and slots within a glamourous themed online casinos because it's glamorous and mirrors land based casinos.
Such casinos include The Grand Ivy Casino as well as Codeta Casino, both of which are smart and sophisticated and offer a bunch of classic casino games, live casino games and online slots. They also offer high roller 'VIP' bonuses, great value and usually focus not only on slots but traditional table games such online blackjack and online roulette, as well as live casino games.
The mobile digital age is well and truly here and so far we've seen many online casinos in different stages of what we like call 'the mobile casino race. Some online casinos offer a fantastic mobile casino site, such as Casumo Casino, which has won several rewards, as well as LeoVegas Casino which was one of the original casinos to offer a fully comprehensive mobile casino and many games too.
Nowadays, most of the top new casino sites offer fantastic mobile casinos which will enable you to play casino games, slots and live dealer games with ease, and efficiency and most of the time will allow you to play on mobile much easier.
We've listed the best and most reputable online casinos in our BestCasino.org.uk review guide because they simply are the best. Not only because we play at them ourselves, but because they're licensed by the UK Gambling Commission and have been operating online for several years with zero complaints.
All casinos we recommend are also owned by large and financially stable iGaming companies and they all offer over 10 different casino games providers so that you'll have the best variety of online casino games and slots to play too.
But, let's not leave out one of the most important factors which is: value. Getting something back for your money every time you play casino games and slots is important, so all casino sites which we recommend will also give you the best casino bonuses and rewards from the word go. Have a look around our site at the many online casinos we've reviewed and take our tips, if you do we will guarantee you the best casino experience online!


Which Is Worse, Split Ends or Breakage?
Breakage is worse than split ends, even though neither are good to see in the majority of your hairs. The reason I say breakage is worse, is because when a hair strand is so fragile it can't even stay together anymore, it breaks off. At least with a split end, though very damaged, your hair has enough strength left that both halves survive (even though they are split apart and still need to be cut off). It just means your hair hasn't been so damaged that it's totally falling apart. It has strength enough to still hang on, even though it's splitting apart. So your hair is most likely severly damaged if you are seeing breakage, and very damaged if you are seeing split ends.
Back in the old days, when I was relaxing my hair, my hair was so damaged that it broke off before my ends had a chance to split! My hair was filled with strands that all hung at angles. And at each angle you could see a little light spot where the hair was totally fractured beyond all hope, and they'd hang like little broken limbs. I had this nervous habit as a teenager where I'd sit and go through my hair and finish breaking off the fractured hairs one by one.
In highschool my hair was constantly breaking apart to fall down on my shoulders in little broken hair bits. When I wore a white teeshirt, all over my shoulders and back were covered in little broken hairs that constantly rained from my hair.
Now that I'm not damaging my hair anymore, I don't get any breakage (or split ends). Because of this, I don't need to trim my hair anymore., and it's grown longer than I ever thought possible.

99 Homes Review
Date: October 1, 2015Author: Jack Blackwell 1 Comment
99 Homes is not your typical heartstrings-tugging movie that usually pops up around Oscar season. Yet no scene this year has had quite the emotional impact on me as the eviction of a confused old man from his foreclosed upon house. As he desperately and muddledly tries to explain the mortgage he and his wife took out just before the 2008 financial crisis, the heart-wrenching human impact of the irresponsibility of the world's banks becomes astoundingly clear, cementing 99 Homes as one of 2015's must-see films. By a long way the most high-profile film yet from writer/director Ramin Bahrani, it marks him out as someone to watch very closely in the future.
The ever-brilliant Michael Shannon is at his absolute best here as near-sociopathic real estate mogul Rick Carver, hired by the banks to do their dirty work of forcing families out of their homes. We first meet him as he surveys the aftermath of an eviction gone very badly wrong, moving smoothly throughout a long single take, like one of the alligators inhabiting the waters near the Florida Keys homes he's continually repossessing. Compelling despite his obvious and all too real villainy, Shannon's Carver is the perfect embodiment of opportunistic America, ruining lives within a two-minute period and then having the gall to tut and shake his head when the evictees don't fully cooperate.
Set in 2010, the ostensible 'hero' of 99 Homes is Dennis Nash (Andrew Garfield), a construction worker who becomes the latest in the long line of Carver's victims, forced to move from his family home to a cheap motel. After violently confronting one of Carver's employees, Nash falls under the wing of the man who stole his house, first doing odd construction jobs, before becoming his reluctant protégé. He eventually becomes a key player in a massive property deal to sell 100 homes to a developer, with an eye on a further thousand after that.
Nash knows that he's working for the enemy, and evicting people never comes naturally to him, with his inclination to give as much assistance as he can to the newly-homeless families only making them hate him more. But he's the sole provider for his young son Connor (impressive newcomer Noah Lomax) and his mum, Lynn (Laura Dern). He needs to get them out of the motel and into the life they deserve, and very soon after joining Carver's organisation, he's making serious money. We should start to see Nash as a loathsome figure, but he's fighting back against a system that screwed millions of people, and making some extra cash for his unemployed friends while he's at it.
That we, for the most part, stay on Dennis' side is a testament to Andrew Garfield's measured yet powerful performance. This is the best Garfield has been since The Social Network, and he manages to hold his own in all his scenes with Shannon. An exchange between the two of them after a drunken party is superb, all subtle defensiveness and probing questions disguised as friendly banter. They never come close to becoming friends, and Bahrani completely avoids the cliché of having Nash's honesty and goodness get through to Carver and make him more moral. In another film, this may be a criticism, but Shannon is so good in the role of the unapologetic villain that he has no need to be a better man.
Laura Dern is also great as the film's moral centre, frustratingly naïve in Dennis' eyes, but also completely justified in all her complaints about her son's increasingly unethical behaviour. For the first two-thirds of the film, you may be inclined to dismiss her opinions as too moralistic to be practicable in this new, economically uncertain world, but the second that poor old man is thrown to the curb with no mercy or support, it becomes far more difficult to justify Nash's actions. Lynn sees her fellow motel-dwellers, mostly 'people like us', evicted without ceremony, turn from friendly neighbours to murderously angry enemies once Dennis' identity as Carver's new lackey is revealed.
The third act experiences some notable pacing problems (certain plot threads and scenes needed some extra trimming) that stop 99 Homes from being a full five star film, but it's still one of this year's most vital movies. By humanising the financial crisis, portraying it through bewildered families left on the street with piles of their belongings rather than constant shots of stats on screens, Bahrani touches on one of the most powerful problems of modern America with grace and emotional honesty. If only all 'issue' movies could be this good.

My recent trip to Toronto inspired me greatly in terms of music. Stayed in a house full of gypsy punk, balkan folk, and djembe love. What struck me most, I think, is my friend Adam, who introduced me to a ton of Israeli music, and since then I haven't been able to stay away from it.

If You're Feeling Sinister ist das zweite Studioalbum der schottischen Popgruppe Belle and Sebastian. Es erschien 1996 auf dem Indie-Label Jeepster Records. Das Album fuhr überwiegend positive Kritiken ein und wird inzwischen als Klassiker des Indie-Pop-Genres angesehen, so dass es eine große Fangemeinde gewinnen konnte und in verschiedenen Bestenlisten vertreten ist.

Hintergründe

Dies tat die Band, um eine besser aufgenommene Version des Albums anbieten zu können.

Das Albumcover zeigt ein rotstichiges Foto, auf der eine melancholisch im Bett liegende Frau zu sehen ist. Neben ihr liegt ein Exemplar des Romans The Trial von Franz Kafka.

Das Album wurde in Großbritannien von Jeepster Recordings auf den Markt gebracht. In Europa übernahm die EMI-Tochterfirma Delabel den Vertrieb, in Nordamerika zunächst das EMI-Label The Enclave und ab 1998 Matador Records.

        myMoneyText.defaultTextFormat = myMoneyTextFormat;
        myMoneyText.border = true;
        myMoneyText.x = 970;
        myMoneyText.y = 500;
        myMoneyText.width = 500;

                }

            }

        }

}
}

The line "public static var stageRef:Stage;" creates a static variable of the type Stage. Static variables are accessible from other classes without needing an instance of the class.
The line "stageRef = stage" basically sets the value of stageRef to stage. You access the stageRef by simply writing "Main.stageRef". You need a instance of the stage because of the line "Main.stageRef.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, AddMoney);" in the HealthMoney class. The mouse_up event will not work properly if you only write "addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, AddMoney);", since the focus is on the stage.
The line "hmClass = new HealthMoney(addStuff);" sends the instance of the AddStuff class to the HealthMoney constructor. You need to do that because if you write "addStuff1 = new AddStuff", you will create a new instance of AddStuff, and the new instance of AddStuff does not have the movieclips you added in the main class, which will make the hittestobject not triggering.

W.A.L. Weekly October 12, 2017
Posted by Charity Roberson
"There is a famous question that shows up, it seems, in every single self-help book every written: What would you do if you knew that you could not fail?
But I've always seen it differently. I think the fiercest question of all is this one: What would you do even if you knew that you might very well fail?
What do you love doing so much that the words failure and success essentially become irrelevant?
What do you love even more than you love your own ego?
How fierce is your trust in that love?" – Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic
I have come to rely on this quick news source almost every month. This podcast, produced by NPR, gives you the headlines from around the world in about fifteen minutes. Perfect dog walking time. I have found it to be global, not just focusing on the United States, and to include quick interviews with reporters from around the world who are experiencing things first hand.
2. The New Midlife Crisis
The complaints of well-educated, middle- and upper-middle class women are easy to dismiss as temporary, or not really a crisis, or #FirstWorldProblems. America, in the grand scheme of things, is still a rich, relatively safe country. (Syrian refugees do not have the luxury of waking up in the middle of the night worried about credit card bills.) Although many women are trying to make it on minimum-wage, split-shift jobs (and arguably don't have so much a midlife crisis as an ongoing crisis), women overall are closing the wage gap. Men do more at home. We deal with less sexism than our mothers and grandmothers, and have far more opportunities. Insert your Reason Why We Don't Deserve to Feel Lousy here.
Fine. Let's agree that this particular slice of Generation X women shouldn't feel bad. And yet, many do: Nearly 60 percent of Gen Xers describe themselves as stressed out. A 2009 analysis of General Social Survey data showed that women's happiness "declined both absolutely and relative to men" from the early '70s to the mid-2000s. More than one in five women are on antidepressants. An awful lot of middle-aged women are furious and overwhelmed. What we don't talk about enough is how the deck is stacked against them feeling any other way.
3. A Simple Way to Take Your Relationships Up a Notch
Five to one: According to one of the most prominent social scientists in the field of romantic relationships, John Gottman, that's the ratio of positive to negative interactions in stable relationships. Couples were significantly less likely to get a divorce when they had about five positive interactions for every negative interaction they had.
How does that ratio compare with your own relationships, romantic and otherwise? More specifically, how often do you put conscious effort into fostering positive interactions? How often do you tell people when you're enjoying something they're doing, or when they've made you happy, or when you're feeling appreciative of them? It's easy to save up all your gratitude and positive feedback for their next birthday card or for Thanksgiving, but you have so many more opportunities than that to get closer to someone, and all it takes is sharing your positive feelings about them in real time.
4. Massive New Study Shows White Christians in Sharp Decline in the U.S.
In what's being heralded as the "largest survey of American religious and denominational identity" ever conducted, PRRI found that historic shifts have taken place in the nation's religious identity over the past few years, and suggests that the coming years are going to look very different for its religious landscape.
White Christians, who comprised 80 percent of the country just four decades ago, now make up just 43 percent of the U.S. In 2006, white Protestants accounted for nearly a full quarter of the American population. Today, they make up just 17 percent. Black protestants, in the meantime, make up abut 8 percent of the country, and have generally been holding at a much steadier rate than white Christians have.

Urijah Faber shares graphic video of finger fracture that proves just HOW tough Josh Emmett is!
Josh Emmett is one of the most underrated fighters in the UFC. The 35-year old has been with the UFC for the past four years and has compiled a record of 7-2 in the UFC.
Overall, the Team Alpha Male fighter is 16-2 in his MMA career. He was last seen in action last month at UFC on ESPN 11 against Shane Burgos. Both fighters gave fans a terrific back and forth action.
It was one of the best fights on the card and in contention, of being a frontrunner for the Fight of the Year award.
Throughout his career, Josh Emmett has given fans an action-packed fight and his fights are a must-see TV.
Urijah Faber gives Josh Emmett a terrific tribute
His teammate Urijah Faber recently took to Instagram and give him a terrific tribute. He also shared a graphic video of finger fracture that Josh Emmett suffered during one of his fights.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CCSTXAKg6hy/
"The Legend of Josh Emmett 10 yrs In! Moving up the ranks w another amazing KO. A step closer on his long Journey to become a champ…the hard way!
For those that don't get 2 see behind the scenes, here is a look at a guy that is now 16-2 , in the top 7 in the world & has faced nothing but adversity. I remember learning in college, when I was studying to be a teacher, about kids that can slip by. Some kids are loud, some kids are funny, some have troubles that force attention, and some are soft spoken, easy & can get overlooked. We were reminded to acknowledge, share time and focus with the kids that aren't screaming for attention, causing trouble, the class clown or the social butterfly.
Josh Emmett was a long time wrestler, and had his first pro fight in Oct of 2011. Because he hit like a Mack Truck, Josh had major fractures in his hands, fighting on the small shows around Sacramento. These injuries made building his record fast, more difficult. In May of 2014 Josh finally had a 5-0 record and was introduced and acknowledged to the UFC matchmakers as a top prospect…it wasn't till 2 years later that Josh got a last minute 5 day notice call to fight a weight class up at 155 lbs in Amsterdam (he was 9-0). Without hesitation Josh jumped on a plane, cut his weight and flew across the world to Scrap. He was so excited he couldn't sleep for 3 days, he went into the fight ready to conquer. Shortly into the fight Josh dislocated his finger and the bone shot out of the skin. Not wanting to mis his opportunity, Josh hid his finger (bone protruding) from the ref, & won decisively. His first fight at 145's, Josh set a record for Knockdowns in a single round, where he again broke his hand, his second fight was nearly a year later on 3 weeks notice, knocking out a top 5 opponent. Hand injuries, a fractured face bone/teeth, and concussion issues are only some of the tough breaks Josh has seen. His soft spoken demeanor and unfortunate injuries have made him a sleeper to the world. His last fight was another example of Josh's heart & talent. Even with a knee destroyed 15 secs in, he's hunt'n the belt 🏆 another surgery in sight, the fire is lit and the legend grows! 👊🏽" Faber wrote on Instagram.

Expediency Council returns Presidential Law to Guardian Council
The Expediency Council, which mediates disputes on law making between the Parliament and Guardian Council, met on Saturday to review the changes made by the Guardian Council on amendments to the Presidential Law which had failed to pass the Parliament last week. The Expediency Council identified two problems with the proposed changes which they deemed incompatible with the laws of the country, and returned the proposed changes to the Guardian Council for another revision. The amendments would limit presidential candidates to be between the ages of 40 and 70, and at this stage are unlikely to pass in time to affect this year's election.
