Figure 1. Multiple nodules with chalky discharge on the scrotum.
Figure 2. Scrotal biopsy demonstrating fractured, amorphous blue deposits in the dermis representing calcified epithelial cysts.
A 45-year-old man presented with multiple asymptomatic nodules on his scrotum which discharged a chalky substance (Figure 1). The nodules had first appeared 10 years ago.
The following conditions should be considered in the differential diagnosis of nodules of this type.
Multiple epithelial cysts may develop over the scrotum and range from flesh-colour to pale yellow to white smooth nodules. These cysts may discharge their keratinous contents into the surrounding tissue or onto the surface. Scrotal biopsy shows an epithelial cyst lined by stratified squamous epithelium and filled with loose, laminated keratin.
Sebaceous hyperplasia is often seen over the scrotum and is characterised by uniformly sized and distributed yellow papules. These may be highlighted when the scrotal skin is red and irritated. Scrotal biopsy shows clusters of mature sebaceous glands surrounding dilated follicular openings.
Molluscum contagiosum typically appears as multiple umbilicated papules with a firm pearly rim. Yellow to white grains may be extruded by curettage. Occasionally, molluscum contagiosum lesions may be quite large and inflamed. Skin biopsy shows lobular proliferation of the epidermis with numerous inclusion bodies representing aggregates of molluscum virus.
Idiopathic calcinosis of the scrotum is the correct diagnosis in this case. Scrotal biopsy revealed large amorphous deposits within the dermis that fractured on tissue sectioning (Figure 2). This condition appears in childhood or adulthood as either solitary or multiple asymptomatic nodules which may discharge a chalky material. The calcinosis is not associated with hypercalcaemia and represents a dystrophic calcification of scrotal epithelial cysts. The cyst lining may no longer be evident at the time of calcification. The cysts may rupture into the tissue inducing a foreign-body granulomatous reaction. Local curettage or surgical removal of symptomatic cysts is the treatment of choice.
Multiple nodules discharging chalky material on the scrotum represent a form of idiopathic calcification of epithelial cysts.

Founded in 1891, the Society of Scottish Artists held its first Annual Exhibition in the Royal Scottish Academy Gallery in the heart of Edinburgh. Today continues in the spirit of its founders, to show the controversial and the unexpected and to give hanging space to new artists of promise. Run by artists for artists, the Society is led by a team of volunteers, each elected by the members and working together to create opportunities for artists.
The Society of Scottish Artist will present an ambitious and diverse exhibition across the whole upper galleries of Edinburgh's magnificent Royal Scottish Academy. We encourage all artists, of all levels, from anywhere in the world to apply. Artists do not need to be Scottish or based in Scotland to apply. Works selected will be presented alongside a curated selection of exceptional art. Works in all media will be considered including installation, audio, film, interactive works, performance, animation or proposals for unrealised work produced to respond to the galleries. We are equally keen to see contemporary works in painting, printmaking, drawing, sculpture and all other mediums, for which there is no size restriction. You can now submit your work online. Our selection process is completely anonymous so every proposal has an equal chance of success. With a mission to encourage experimentation and promote the adventurous in contemporary art, we are looking for the unexpected.
There are TWO categories for artworks with separate deadlines.
All works must be submitted online digitally by the deadlines stated below.


The DesignarteTM is a design agency that has been working since 2000 in the area of web design and creation of websites.
The web design is an activity that should always be developed by companies that are professionals in the area. A website of poor or mediocre will convey a little image professional and little credible to your customers, and your site should convey a lot of credibility, consistency and confidence in the company and its products or services.
A good site must have a clear message, objective, as well as to present the information in a targeted and structured by layers. It is necessary to have knowledge of how they should structure and design the interface of a website. The segmentation of information and the layout should be designed in a way that suits all platforms and devices. Currently the websites can adapt to all devices (responsive), how can you have a mobile version specific, and even a version of AMP (accelerated mobile pages). Our agency's graphic design is highly dedicated to develop all type websites, portals, online stores, as well as providing digital marketing services.
See our portfolio of web design, where you can find numerous examples of web site design.
1 - Analysis and reflection of the information available and the objectives of the website. Advising on the structuring of content for the web design of the site, taking into account the reality of the business.
2 - gather all the contents (texts, images, graphics) to be included on the website.
3 - Analysis of the structure of the information (if it is necessary, the DesignarteTM provides the service of content creation, whether they are in text format, chart, illustration or photography).
4 - Creation of a mock-up initial website with few pages so that the client can assess if the web design is consistent with the desired.
5 - Approved the web site design on the part of the client, the DesignarteTM maquetiza the rest of the pages.
6 - After a review and validation of all pages on the part of the client, we move to the phase of programming and implementation with the content management system. This phase is carried out the mobile version or responsive.
7 - Training about the operation of the backoffice, making the website available at address provisional to validation and publication.

Junior GAA versus St. Kilian's
David's Junior boys were set to play St. Killian's on the 23rd of January. St. David's were very confident coming into the game as they had shown up with a strong side. David's ran riot in the first half of this match, scoring four goals and two points. A massive effort and a class performance in the first half by this David's side. At half time David's led by ten points.
It was not the start to the second half St. David's would've hoped for, a key player Ben Hogan forced to come off due to injury. Kilian's were able to capitalise on this and returned with four goals and five points. David's could only salvage another four points but failed to come away with the win. Final score 4-6 to 5-5 in favour of the Bray school. Goals for David's came from Michael Martin, Callum Smith, Jack Dye and Cian Bollard.

Michigan State Agencies Award Nearly $90 Million in Energy Assistance Grants
In late August, the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) and the Michigan Department of Human Services (DHS) granted $89.5 million to 13 entities as part of the Michigan Energy Assistance Program (MEAP). For the fiscal year beginning October 1, the funds will support programs that provide energy assistance and services for low-income households. According to MEAP's authorizing statue, a majority of the funds must be expended by the grantees during the annual "crisis season" of November 1 through May 31.
Both private and public entities can apply for MEAP funds. MEAP grantees must offer programs that help low-income households deal with crisis situations; help them pay their energy bills; and move them toward self-sufficiency when it comes to their energy needs. The self-sufficiency efforts can include a range of activities from case management to participation in energy efficiency programs. MEAP defines low-income as households with incomes up to 150 percent of federal poverty guidelines (FPG).
MEAP's goal is for eligible low-income households to work with one MEAP provider throughout the crisis season. However, households can receive assistance from more than one MEAP provider if they use multiple types of energy, for example, households using both propane and electricity. Receiving MEAP assistance does not preclude a household from receiving help from the State Emergency Relief program.
MEAP's funding comes from two sources—the Low Income Energy Assistance Fund (LIEAF) and Michigan LIHEAP. Roughly $50 million is generated by a LIEAF surcharge that is collected by participating utilities. Public Act 95 of 2013 directed the MPSC to create the surcharge for electric customers, but it allowed utilities to opt out of collecting it. The Act capped the amount of money that could be raised at $50 million.
In late July 2014, the MPSC set the surcharge at $0.97 per month for the 22 participating utilities to get close to, but not exceed, the $50 million cap. The vast majority of the surcharge funding will come from two large utilities, Detroit Edison Company and Consumers Energy. They forecasted raising over $46 million through the surcharge themselves. In addition to the utility funds, Michigan LIHEAP contributed between $30 million and $40 million to MEAP.
The MPSC and DHS released a request for proposals in early July with a deadline of July 29. When the grantees were announced, the two largest recipients were Detroit Edison Energy ($17 million) and Consumers Energy ($13.18 million). Others included statewide and local fuel funds, a state agency, the Michigan Community Action Association, and others. The grantees and the amount of funding they received can be viewed here.
MEAP finally provides a permanent replacement for the Low-Income Energy Efficiency Fund, which ran from 2002 until the Michigan Court of Appeals struck it down in 2011. Between the court ruling and passage of Public Act 95 in 2013, the Michigan Legislature appropriated public funds for low-income energy assistance on a year-by-year basis. For more information on MEAP and its predecessors, please see this Clearinghouse article.
Utility Increases Low-Income Benefits; Other Programs Continue Helping Low-Income Coloradans
Black Hills Energy is making changes to its Colorado low-income energy assistance program by increasing the amount of its monthly benefit and serving more customers. The utility will raise its monthly maximum benefit from $50 to $75, in addition to raising income eligibility from 125 percent of FPG to 150 percent.
The Black Hills Energy Assistance Program (BHEAP) is a two-year-old program created by the utility to follow rules enacted by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) in 2011. The rules required utilities to offer energy assistance programs. Raising income eligibility to 150 percent of FPG will allow more Black Hills customers to qualify for assistance. However, that figure undercuts the CPUC's rules, which said that, in the third year of assistance programs, eligibility was to be set at 185 percent of FPG.
Black Hills petitioned the CPUC in late May 2014 to allow the company to use the 150 percent of FPG for the 2014-2015 program year. Black Hills requested the action in order to align BHEAP eligibility with that of Colorado LIHEAP, which uses 150 percent. The utility said it relied on Colorado LIHEAP to verify its customers' income eligibility. It also stated it did not have the personnel or systems to collect the additional information to determine eligibility up to 185 percent of FPG. Using outside resources, Black Hills said, would be "a significant expense to the program." In mid-June, the CPUC accepted the utility's proposal to set eligibility at 150 percent for the 2014-2015 program year.
Since the CPUC adopted its rules requiring utilities to implement rate assistance programs in 2011, the five largest utilities in the state have complied and reported on their progress. They also followed the CPUC's recommendation to implement both bill assistance and arrearage forgiveness programs. The following table shows the number of households served by these utility programs, in addition to the utilities' expenditures, for the 2013-2014 program year.

Unfortunately the Kawaihae area has been developed as a commercial port for over 30 years; the largest in west Hawai'i, so these developments are not surprising, despite the hazards. Pelekane Bay is a VERY special area for biological, cultural and historical reasons and the only area I know of the black tip reef sharks are common. Kawaihae harbor was built on top of the largest reef in west Hawai'i, which forms the land fill for the harbor and the storage area.

Australian nun wins another reprieve from deportation in Philippines
Sr. Patricia Fox, superior of the Sisters of Our Lady of Sion in the Philippines, is seen during a protest against the killings of priests in Manila, Philippines, June 18. (CNS/Mark Cristino, EPA)
Manila, Philippines — An Australian missionary nun ordered deported in mid-July by Philippine authorities is not leaving the country just yet.
Sr. Patricia Fox, Philippine superior of the Sisters of Our Lady of Sion, won a reprieve after her lawyers filed a motion for reconsideration July 22, ucanews.com reported.
"The deportation order cannot be enforced until it becomes final. ... With the filing of the appeal, the deportation will not be executed," Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said.
Philippine authorities July 19 ordered Fox's immediate deportation after she was declared an "undesirable alien" by immigration authorities.
The bureau found Fox "in violation of the limitations and conditions of her missionary visa" for reportedly joining partisan political activities.
The nun also has been put on the bureau's blacklist, barring her re-entry.
Immigration bureau spokeswoman Dana Krizia Sandoval told ucanews.com that the Board of Commissioners would review the nun's appeal.
"We froze the implementation of the order against Sister Fox pending her appeal. She can stay in the country while waiting for the final order," Sandoval said.
Fox also can apply for the extension of her missionary visa, which will expire Sept. 2, because "the order to include her on the blacklist is also suspended."
Fox's lawyer said the immigration bureau's decision to deport the nun was based on "a false and unfounded statement" by President Rodrigo Duterte.
The president has made statements accusing Fox of being "foulmouthed" for criticizing the government.
Lawyers argued that Fox had been working in the country for 27 years and has only been persecuted by Duterte's administration. The motion appealed to the bureau to be "objective enough and consider her arguments, not public pronouncements by the president."
Fox said she would continue to work for the poor in the Philippines as long as legal remedies can extend her stay in the country.
"This legal battle cannot hinder me from doing what I am doing best," she said. "I cannot be deterred in amplifying the voice of the poor while struggling with my own fight."

Cornyn to Trump: Don't Nominate a Known Pro-Lifer to Supreme Court
Cornyn's statement puts him in direct conflict with not only Texas' pro-life voters but the president himself.
Cary Cheshire | June 29, 2018
The retirement of moderate Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy provides conservatives with a potential, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to appoint a constitutional jurist to the court and cement a 5-4 conservative majority, but moderate Republicans are already throwing cold water on conservative hopes.
Yesterday, Sen. John Cornyn attempted to manage Republicans' expectations on the upcoming Supreme Court nomination, saying he wants a less controversial pick for what could potentially be the most impactful Supreme Court appointment in American history.
According to a report by POLITICO, Cornyn "cautioned Trump against selecting any nominee with a publicly stated position on overturning court precedents such as Roe v. Wade."
"I think that would be a terrible mistake, for the president to nominate somebody who had that sort of agenda," he said adding that "we don't need judges who have either personal or political or ideological agendas, in my view. And I think that ought to comfort all of us."
Cornyn's statement puts him in direct conflict with not only Texas' pro-life voters but the president himself. On the campaign trail, Trump promised he would appoint pro-life, Second Amendment-supporting judges who will interpret the law as written.
"The justices that I am going to appoint will be pro-life, they will have a conservative bent, they will be protecting the Second Amendment. They're great scholars in all cases and they're people of tremendous respect. They will interpret the Constitution the way the founders intended it to be interpreted," said Trump.
So far, Trump has kept that promise not only with the appointment of Justice Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, but with the appointment of scores of conservative jurists to the nation's appellate and district courts.
With Republican control of the Presidency and the Senate, the only obstacle to the appointment of conservative judges are Republican hold-outs.
Cornyn's sentiment places him at odds with Texas' other conservative leaders. Both Sen. Ted Cruz and Gov. Greg Abbott have advocated for the president to nominate Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah.
Selecting the next #SCOTUS Justice is a monumental moment in modern constitutional history. We need a brilliant, conservative Justice devoted to the Constitution. I agree with @SenTedCruz that @SenMikeLee would be a superb selection & should be swiftly confirmed. #TCOT #txlege https://t.co/bB3ec0WC4F
— Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) June 28, 2018
A staunch conservative, Lee is Cruz's closest ally in the US Senate, has been outspoken in his pro-life and pro-Second Amendment views, and has worked with other Republican lawmakers to lead the fight in defunding Planned Parenthood and opposing gun control.
Republican voters have been told they must vote for every Republican on the ballot for decades in the hopes of achieving a majority capable of taking the Supreme Court back from liberals who disrespect the founding documents of the United States.
For individuals such as Cornyn, looking down the barrel of a quickly approaching re-election campaign, the only "terrible mistake" in this situation would be finding a way to clutch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Doñana Natural Space: The Uncertain Future of a Crown Jewel in Europe's Protected Areas

Carlos Fernández-Delgado; Doñana Natural Space: The Uncertain Future of a Crown Jewel in Europe's Protected Areas. Case Studies in the Environment 31 December 2017; 1 (1): 1–12. doi: https://doi.org/10.1525/cse.2017.000570
The Doñana Natural Space (National and Natural Park) has three dominant ecosystems: dunes, beaches, and marshes. Its geographical position gives rise to a rich biota at a major stopover point in birds' migration routes and at a very important site for wintering waterfowl. Because of this, Doñana has acquired the highest protected area categories that a natural area can receive from international conservation organizations. Yet Doñana's ability to support biodiversity is under constant threat due to its proximity to culturally and economically critical locations. The greatest external problems center on agriculture and tourism, which extract enormous amounts of groundwater which then alter hydrological dynamics. Excessive nutrients, roads, commercial navigation, pilgrimages, and several programed projects are additional pressures that could be aggravated by climate change. Inside the Space, overpopulations of domestic and wild ungulates, pathogens, and invasive species have changed its ecology. Doñana is managed by two operational programs implemented by a committee of 60 stakeholders. Both areas have been divided into conservation zones and very recently have been included in an extension of the old Biosphere Reserve with a Core Area (National Park), a Buffer Area (Natural Park), and a Transition Area. In the past 40 years, Doñana has received about US$900 million: this has increased not only conservation efforts in the area but also the economic level of local residents. Conflicts are lessening but pressures are mounting. More collaboration between administrations, more active local participation, more firmness concerning illegal activities, more expert technical advice, and more funding will be needed in the near future to preserve this unique natural heritage.

I've recently had a few inquiries about how I am able to do what I do – i.e., how did I become a freelance online marketing consultant? I'm not entirely sure if there is a black and white answer for creating a path toward becoming a consultant, but this is what I did.
A good majority of my clients come from word-of-mouth, however, a few of the businesses I work with come from this website and social media platforms. You'll find your clients in various places, as well.
Hopefully you'll find this post useful, and you will go away with plenty of ideas to get started with your freelance consulting business!
Step one: choose a field (yes… just one field).
Don't try to be a jack-of-all-trades. I could try to do 100% of the marketing practices on my own, but I wouldn't be able to get them all my full attention. I chose specifically social media for small businessesbecause it's the aspect of marketing that I truly enjoy, and it doesn't feel like work. I love playing around with the latest technology on the web, and growing online communities is fun to me! If someone asks me to do something with marketing that is not specifically social media, I outsource to someone who can and would love to help in that particular area. Be specific when choosing your field of excellence. Although it may seem like it, it does not limit your client base to niche out your services, and you'll be better for it in the end, anyway.
Step two: establish yourself as the expert.
There are several ways for you to establish yourself as the expert in your field. Since I'm mainly focused on social media marketing, I use blogging, social media platforms, and various forums to establish myself as a credible source. I comment on social media articles online, blog about ways to make the most of your social media presence, and post articles, photos, and videos on social media sites as I find relevant content! My blog is mainly about life, business, and social media.
Depending on your particular interests and expertise, yours will certainly be different! For example, if you're interested in becoming a financial consultant on the side, start a finance blog. Set up your Twitter account, and in your bio section, explain that you're interested in helping people handle their finances. Include a link to your blog or portfolio so that people will know you're legit and that you know what you're doing.
There are endless amounts of resources online for consultants. If you type your field name into Google (____________ consultant), you'll almost certainly come up with something pertaining to your interests. Find someone who is already doing it, and take notes. What are they doing that you like? What could you do differently? How did they set up their blog? What type of people does their website attract? How can you set yourself apart from this person/business?
See what others are doing, and learn from it. Laura Roeder brilliantly encourages folks to keep their eyes on their own paper, but I think it's important, especially when getting started, to see how it has already been done. After all, there's no need to reinvent the wheel, you just need to manipulate it a bit to fit your needs. Once you've got your foundation, THEN keep your eyes on your own paper – find what works for you and your particular customers.
Aside from learning about taxes (ugh), setting up my rates and price points has been one of the most challenging aspects of my business. This is one of those things that you're going to take some time to get comfortable with.
The important thing to remember is that as a consultant, you're not only being paid for your knowledge, but your being paid for your time. This is not a $12 per hour kind of gig. Your time is valuable, your knowledge is niche and unique, and you have every right to charge based on the value you're providing to your client.
To get started, you may want to work … gasp … for free. A referral is sometimes just as good as any other currency out there.
I repeat: A referral is sometimes just as good as any other currency out there.
To get started, ask someone to let you work with him or her at no charge. All you would ask in return is a written testimonial to put on your website and for them to tell their friends about you! Word of mouth goes a long way.
Once you're past the point of working for free, study the market. What are others charging? More importantly, why are they charging what they're charging? Is it because it's a skill that no one else has? Is it because it's a not-so-glamorous gig, and no one else is willing to do it? Is it because your consulting skills are going to make them millions of dollars?
I'm a big fan of package deals and group classes…the more people you can work with at once, the more you can help, and ultimately, the more money you can bring in to support your business. However, one-on-one is fantastic because you get to give personal attention. I do both for Split Aces, depending on the client's needs. Try it all out! Figure out what your style is. And, charge what you're worth, my dear!
Word of mouth and reeling in the clients via your website and social media are wonderful, but sometimes you gotta get down and dirty. I'm talking cold calls, cold emails, walking into establishments and meeting with the business owners, sending snail mail, asking friends if they know anyone in need of help… hustlin'. Don't get discouraged if you cannot find clients right away! If it were easy, everyone would do it.
Asking people to say nice things about you can be downright awkward, but it's a necessary evil. If you've been working with someone for a while, or if you did good work for someone in the past, don't be shy about asking for a testimonial. If they were proud of the job you did or are doing, chances are that they'll be more than happy to write one for you! Not only is getting testimonials from current or previous clients hugely beneficial to you and your reputation, it also helps them because you can put their testimonial on your website with a link back to their own website. Everyone wins. But, you gotta bite the bullet and ask!
Being a consultant is absolutely wonderful. You have the freedom to work with clients of your choosing, you have the freedom to say no to someone who may not be a good fit for you and your brand, and you have the freedom of your time. I have been so fortunate to be able to work with clients I adore – I have had only one nightmare story, and I learned a great lesson from it (but that's a post for another day)!
Consulting is a great option if you're interested in making money on the side while working a full-time job, or if you can turn it into your actual job, then that's great, too. Whatever your goals are, you'll learn more about business than you could ever learn in a classroom just by diving in and gaining real world work experience.
I've been growing Split Aces since March of 2012, and I have had some of the best times along the way. Now that I find myself in Manhattan for a while to work more closely with a fabulous start up site called Manhattan Sideways, I am so excited about the possibilities for this year.
Good luck with beginning your consulting gig! If you have any questions along the way, I'm just one email away, and I'd love to chat with you!

Wanted (Now!): Great Ideas for 26 U.S. Cities
By Melissa Stanton, October 01, 2015 06:02 PM
Last fall, the Knight Foundation issued a challenge seeking "compelling and innovative" ideas for improving the 26 cities where the Knight brothers (John S. and James L.) once owned newspapers.
They're doing it again this October by inviting everyone and anyone (individuals, groups, nonprofits, for-profits, governments) with a great idea that will advance talent, opportunity or engagement to submit ideas for a chance to receive some of the $5 million in 18-month grants Knight will be awarding at the city, neighborhood and block level — "and all sizes in between."
The application period opened Oct. 1 and closes Oct. 27. (Finalists will be announced in January and winners in March.)
While applicants needn't be from a Knight city, the work must take place in one. The cities are listed in red.
The challenge: Submit an idea about "how to use shared and public spaces to attract talented people to the city, expand economic opportunity by building connections and breaking down divides, and encourage a culture of civic engagement."
Unlike grant proposals and most applications, the Knight one is simple and short. The initial application asks just three primary questions that should be answered in 100 words or less.
Among last year's 32 winning ideas:
The Pop-Up Pool Project used its $297,000 winnings to transform a dilapidated city swimming pool and turn it into what Philadelphia magazine calls "a template for a completely reinvented public space and community hub."
Unbox Akron earned $52,168 for an Akron, Ohio, subscription-based city program that delivers a "monthly selection of local goods and experiences in a box."
Porch Swings in Public Places received $28,000 to install Southern-style porch swings where passersby could sit and, ideally, strike up a conversation with a neighbor or stranger.
See all of 2015's winning ideas. Put your thinking cap on and get ready to apply at KnightCities.org.

Privileges for retired judges and prosecutors are crime
Privileges for retired judges and prosecutors are crime. April. 22, 2019 07:38. .
South Korea's retired judges and prosecutors practicing law have taken about three times more cases on average than practicing lawyers in Seoul over the past seven years, according to data. During the same period, the Attorney-at-Law Act was amended six times and the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act was enacted to stop the unfair practice, but the number of cases they take has risen twice the average ordinary lawyers are given with.
Such reality where former judges and prosecutors receive privileges associated with their past experience is something that all people in a legal profession should be ashamed of. The unjust practice could still exist because of a belief that incumbent judges and public prosecutors would lean towards their former colleagues, and of wrongful collusive ties between them as seen in the so-called Chung Woon-ho gate. Beyond providing convenience, this is a crime that can cause direct harm to those who entrusted the proceedings to lawyers not having served in public posts. The victims may be citizens who cannot afford high legal fees, a country, or the people. Allowing privileges should not be considered a "respectful treatment," but an obstacle standing in the way of achieving legal justice.
Moreover, the practice also undermines the quality of legal services. Lawyers can only deal with a limited number of cases due to time constraint, so taking too many cases would lead them to build a not-strong-enough case or plead in an abnormal way. Furthermore, not a few judges-and-prosecutors-turned-lawyers are surreptitiously involved in a case by putting their name as an adviser or consultant, hurting the transparency and fairness of judicial proceedings.
To correct the situation where former judges and public prosecutors take almost all cases, the legal circles need to change its closed culture in which personal relationships are considered crucial including school ties, regionalism, and close bonds developed with colleagues at the Judicial Training Research Institute. In addition, the courts and the prosecution should be given an independent right to investigate the reported cases suspected of the unfair practice and impose a punishment.
This is also an issue not only those in a legal profession but also all public officials should caution against. Private firms have hired retired public officials from regulatory organizations at a high salary, while public organizations have tried to keep their rights to regulate, all of which is aimed at benefiting from privileges associated with retirees' former post. Therefore, all public officials need to bear in mind that doing their ex-colleagues a seemingly small favor is in fact a cheating and even a crime that threatens the fairness and trust of society.

Headliner – Mohamed Salah (SHU)
Salah will be looking to add to his goal tally of nine in gameweek 21 as Liverpool host Sheff. Utd. at Anfield. Only Martial (four) has scored more goals amongst midfielders than Salah's three over the last six gameweeks and as the Stats Sandbox shows, only De Bruyne (22) has taken more shots than his 18. It's the Belgian (10) once again who is the only one to topple him for shots on target (SoT) (eight). The Egyptian, however, leads the way for shots in the box (SiB) (15). Liverpool are currently leading the scoring charts over the last six gameweeks with 15 goals. They are top for 'big chances' (18) and only Wolves (60), Man. City (63) and Chelsea (66) have taken more SiB than the Reds' 58. Sheff. Utd's defensive numbers are impressive, no team has allowed fewer 'big chances' (four) over the aforementioned period and only Liverpool (eight) have conceded fewer SoT than their 16. While Watford (five), Palace (four) and Liverpool (two) are the only teams to have conceded fewer goals than the Blades' six. However, a trip to Anfield is likely to be their toughest test of the season and our Fix Algorithm projects a point score of 7.1 for Salah.
Harry Kane (sou)
One of the few nailed on starters over the busy Christmas period with a 100% starting probability as per our Predicted Lineups feature. Kane has scored four goals in the last six gameweeks and only Ings, Calvert-Lewin and Rashford (all five) have been more prolific. His total of 18 shots is only bettered by Jiménez (19), Abraham (20), Calvert-Lewin (22) and Rashford (26). While only Maupay, Calvert-Lewin (both 10) and Rashford (13) have landed more SoT than his eight. Spurs have scored 12 goals over the last six gameweeks and only Liverpool and Man. City (both 15) have scored more. Their total of 30 SoT is can only be bettered by Wolves (32), Brighton (37), Man. City (39) and Man. Utd (44). Southampton have conceded six goals in as many gameweeks, keeping just one clean sheet. They are ranked 10th for shots conceded (67) and the same for SoT conceded (24). Our Fix Algorithm projects a point score of 5.6 for Kane.
Raul Jiménez (wat)
Jiménez should be nailed on to start after being benched against Liverpool in gameweek 20, the Mexican has notched two goals over the last six gameweeks. His total of 19 shots can only be beaten by Abraham (20), Calvert-Lewin (22) and Rashford (26) amongst forwards. He has landed seven SoT in the same period, with only Kane (eight), Maupay, Calvert-Lewin (both eight) and Rashford (10) registering more. He leads the way amongst forwards for attempted assists (13) and 'big chances' created (five). Wolves have great fixtures for the next three gameweeks as per our Fixture Analyzer and the Midlands club have scored 10 goals over the last six gameweeks, with only Man. Utd (11), Spurs (12), Liverpool and Man. City (both 15) finding the back of the net more frequently. Man. City (63) and Chelsea (66) are the only teams to have taken more SiB than Wolves' 60. They are also ranked fourth for SoT (32) with only Brighton (37), Man. City (39) and Man. Utd (44) landing more. Watford seem to have found a bit of defensive resilience under Pearson, conceding just five goals in their last six matches. However, they are ranked 12th for SoT conceded (25) and 13th for 'big chances' conceded (10) which indicates they have been a bit fortunate. Our Fix Algorithm projects a point score of 4.7 for Jiménez.
James Maddison (new)
Maddison should slot back into the starting lineup after being rested against West Ham last gameweek and as the Match Preview feature shows, he is the main creative engines or the Foxes. Over the last five matches, he has notched two assists and has created 14 chances with the next best being Iheanacho, coming in with just five. In fact, only Grealish, De Bruyne (both 16), Willian (18) and Buendia (26) have created more over the aforementioned period amongst midfielders. The Foxes have scored 10 goals over the last six gameweeks, and only Man. Utd (11), Spurs (12), Liverpool and Man. City (both 15) have managed more. No team have created more 'big chances' than Leicester's 15. Newcastle on the other hand have conceded eight goals over the same period and only six teams were more leaky. Villa are the only team to have conceded more shots (108 to 99) and SiB (80 to 61) than the Magpies. Our Fix Algorithm projects a point score of 4.1 for Maddison.
Trent Alexander-Arnold (SHU)
Alexander-Arnold has been in fine form of late with 32 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) points in his last two matches. Over the last six gameweeks, only Digne (10) has created more chances amongst defenders than his nine, but the Liverpool man leads the way for 'big chances' created with three. His total of six shots is only beaten by Byram (seven), Azpilicueta, Egan (both eight) and Saiss (10). Liverpool have the best defensive record in the league over the same period, conceding just two goals and keeping four clean sheets. No team have allowed opponents fewer shots (36) or SoT (eight). Only Sheff. Utd (four) have conceded fewer 'big chances' than their five. The Blades have scored six goals in as many gameweeks and only Palace (five), West Ham, Villa (both four), Burnley (three) and Bournemouth (two) have scored fewer. The Blades have only attempted 59 shots, while Arsenal (58), Palace (55), West Ham (52), Bournemouth (45) and Burnley (34) are the only teams to have attempted fewer. Our Fix Algorithm projects a 60% chance of a Liverpool clean sheet and a point score of 5.9 for Alexander-Arnold.

La Praieira fue una rebelión de carácter liberal y separatista que estalló en Pernambuco entre 1848 y 1850.

Antecedentes
Tras las frecuentes revueltas durante el período de la Regencia todas estas habían sido vencidas asegurando el reinado de Pedro II. En cuanto al contexto internacional, esta rebelión formó parte de las muchas que se dieron en Europa a mediados del siglo XIX siguiendo ideologías socialistas y nacionalistas que buscaban, entre otras cosas, el fin del absolutismo, como la Revolución de 1848. A nivel nacional, la insurrección fue influenciada por las quejas de los liberales frente a la falta de autonomía de las provincias, que se caracterizaban por su rechazo a la monarquía, buscando mayor independencia política, la creación de una república y un reformismo socioeconómico radical.

Al haber profundos problemas sociales, económicos y políticos, como la existencia de una masa de pobres frente a la concentración de las riquezas y tierras en unas pocas manos, en especial de portugueses, estas demandas hicieron eco entre los más desposeídos.

La rebelión
La causa inmediata de la Praieira fue por el despido inmediato por el emperador de Antônio Pinto Chichorro da Gama, Presidente de la Provincia entre 1845 y 1848, quien era representante de los liberales. Durante su gobierno Chicorro da Gama estuvo enfrentado a los gabirus, los aristócratas más poderosos mercantiles y latifundistas, ligados al Partido Conservador.

La sustitución por el exregente, Araújo Lima, un ultraconservador, fue la chispa que inició la rebelión, unido al deterioro económico del comercio del azúcar.

Los rebeldes exigieron la creación de una Asamblea Constituyente para modificar la Constitución brasileña de 1824 con miras a una verdadera libertad de prensa, el fin del poder moderador o el cargo vitalicio de senador, el voto libre y universal y la nacionalización del comercio en manos de lusitanos.

En abril de 1848, los sectores radicales del Partido Liberal en Pernambuco se reunieron en torno al periódico Diário Novo, en Rua da Praia en Recife. Eran conocidos como praieiros y condenaron el despido de Chichorro da Gama, interpretando el hecho como una arbitrariedad imperial.

Finalmente la rebelión contra el nuevo gobierno provincial estalló en Olinda el 7 de noviembre de ese año bajo el mando del general José Ignacio Abreu y Lima, el capitán de artillería Pedro Ivo Veloso da Silveira, el diputado liberal Joaquim Nunes Machado y el militante del ala más radical del Partido Liberal Antônio Borges da Fonseca. El presidente provincial Herculano Ferreira Pena fue removido de su cargo y encarcelado. El movimiento se extendió rápidamente por toda la Zona da Mata (litoral) de Pernambuco. La primera batalla se libró en el pueblo de Maricota (actual Abreu e Lima). Pronto se reunió y armó un ejército de 5.000 praieiros.

El 1 de enero de 1849 los rebeldes lanzaron su programa de gobierno en el documento Manifesto ao Mundo, de contenido socialista utópico, supuestamente escrito por el periodista Borges da Fonseca. El texto defendía el voto universal, la libertad de prensa, derechos laborales, nacionalización del comercio al por menor, independencia de poderes fácticos, fin del poder moderador, una nueva organización federal, reformar el sistema judicial para garantizar los derechos individuales, el fin de la ley de interés estándar y fin del sistema de reclutamiento hasta entonces existente. Sin embargo, los insurrectos jamás abogaron por abolir la esclavitud.

Tras reunir el apoyo de la población urbana más pobre, pequeños agricultores, arrieros, vendedores ambulantes y libertos los praieiros marcharon sobre Recife en febrero con un ejército de 2.500 combatientes siendo rechazados.

La represión
Pernambuco fue pacificado por su nuevo presidente, Manuel Vieira Tosta, auxiliado por el brigadier José Joaquín Coelho, nuevo Comandante de Armas provincial con un ejército de 4.000 hombres. Los rebeldes fueron vencidos en los combates de Água Preta (800 tropas gubernamentales contra 4.000 praieiros)<ref>Jonathas Serrano, Maria Junqueira Schmidt, Helena Saboia de Medeiros, Lucinda Coutinho de Mello Coelho. História do Brasil'''. Río de Janeiro: F. Briguiet, 1968, pp. 343. </ref> y de Igaraçu.

Los líderes insurrectos pertenecientes a sectores acomodados fueron encarcelados y procesados en noviembre de 1851 pero cuando los ánimos se calmaron recibieron una amnistía, pudiendo nuevamente tomar cargos públicos y la dirección de sus empresas. Para los rebeldes más desfavorecidos tuvieron que hacer trabajos forzados, algunos terminaron ejecutados y otros fueron amnistiados por la intervención de sus compañeros más ricos.

 Consecuencias
Con el fin de la Praieira a inicios de 1850 se inició un período de estabilidad política gracias al parlamentarismo, administrativa por el Comité del emperador y económica por el comercio del café que duró hasta fines del reinado de Pedro II.

that i couldn't handle it.
first I want when the user click to other position , My button (last position) images change to the other picture.
second when I scroll the list view, they disappear and there is no sign which position is playing.
here is my code:
this my paly method:
   private void play(int index) {
    mediaPlayer.release();
    index++;
    String s = "mp3/a" + index + ".mp3";

    AssetFileDescriptor afd;
    try {
        afd = getAssets().openFd(s);
        mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
        mediaPlayer.setDataSource(afd.getFileDescriptor(),   afd.getStartOffset(), afd.getLength());
        mediaPlayer.prepare();
        mediaPlayer.start();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

and here is my paly button:
      play.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {
                if (rowView != lastview || mediaPlayer == null) {

                    play.setImageResource(R.drawable.played);
                    play(position);
                    if (lastview != null)
                        lastview = rowView;
                } else {

                    mediaPlayer.release();
                    lastview = null;
                }
            }

We've all been there or know someone who has an issue with their neighbor. Many scenarios are comically played out on television, and most of them involve over-the-top antics. So while I'm sure you do your best to ensure there is no cause of grief from your neighbors, still take a look at what the most problematic issues are.
Inhibiting someone's view. I had this happen. Both of our lots had a beautiful view of the back canal. Then one day, the neighbor put up a huge 7ft tall brick wall that extended from the house to about 2 feet from the water. Needless to say, I wasn't able to see much after that point.
Unfinished projects. We know life gets in the way, but neighbors hate seeing a half-finished roof for 5 months or remnants of pallets and other such debris in the yard. While we are on the topic of finishing projects, neighbors hate hearing roofing nails/hammers, saws, drills, and anything else that would wake the little children all hours of the day for weeks on end. Sure, you can't help it sometimes, but do be courteous to noise after waking hours.
Unique taste. Lime green walls, mismatched shutters. Even poor condition homes needing a freshen up tend to annoy neighbors. Looking at an eye sore means less money in their pocket once they decide to sell. While you're at it, do note unkempt landscaping tops the list as well. Mow those yards to keep your neighborhood happy and beautiful.
Work vehicles inhibiting their property. Do you have a vendor parked close to the neighbor's driveway or lot? Sure it wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't an everyday problem, but if it happens often, reassure yourself that your neighbor is alright with the circumstances or find an alternative.
Installing irrigation systems. Be sure your irrigation isn't an irritation to others. Will your water cause mud or excess water with other lots?
Lighting that is too bright. Are your accent lights too accented? Are they keeping your neighbors up? Sure it wouldn't be much for a neighbor to get thicker curtains, but they aren't going to be happy to do so when it means sacrificing a style they love or money.
Renovations will be finished, but neighbors are forever (until they move), so be sure to keep them happy too, otherwise, they won't think twice about inconveniencing you!

Q: Understanding of a theorem about criterion for multiple zeros This is from Gallian's Contemporary Abstract Algebra:

I don't understand the step in the red box: why can we assume that the common factor has a zero? Isn't it possible that for example $f(x)$ and $f'(x)$ has a common factor $x^2+1$ in ${\mathbb R}[x]$?

A: The root is allowed by the phrasing of the theorem to be in some extension $E$.
Small edit: Your question brings to mind one of my favorite and somewhat surprising exercises. The gcd of $f(x)$ and $g(x)\in F[x]$ is the same as their gcd in $E[x]$ for any extension $E$ of $F$.

A: While it is correct that the common factor $g$ of $f$ and $f'$  may not have a zero in the field $F$, the theorem is about multiple zeroes "in some extension $E$". As soon as the common factor $g$ has positive degree, it has a zero $a$ at least in the algebraic closure $\overline F$ of $F$. This is in general an infinite extension, but $a$ is also a root of $g$ (and hence a common root of $f$ and $f'$ and ultimately a multiple root of $f$) in the finite extension $E=F(a)$ of $F$. Alternatively, if $h$ is an irreducible factor of $g$, let $E=F[x]/(h)$; there $h$ (and hence $g$) has a root. So the important thing here is that the claim to be shown allows us to switch to an extension of $F$.


BREAKING! Judge STOPS Obama's Executive Order Amnesty!!
U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen late Monday ruled in favor of Texas and 25 other states that challenged President Obama's executive action on immigration, according to a statement from Gov. Greg Abbott.
While the ruling is only temporary, it's a huge win for Abbot, Texas, and anyone who still believes the nation should be ruled by Law, and not merely MEN.


In an epic multi film event, The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Littleton, Colorado hosted two events that can truly be considered every film enthusiast's dream on Sunday, March 6, 2016. Filmmaker Oliver Stone joined fans with screenings of both his new film "U-Turn" and fan favorite "Natural Born Killers". In addition to the film screenings, the audiences of both films were treated to a question and answer session with the filmmaker himself along with award winning author and rogerebert.com editor in chief Matt Zoller Seitz.
While "Natural Born Killers" was met with controversy and lawsuits when it was originally released in 1994, many consider the film to be not only groundbreaking in regard to its style and composition, but also its innovative message of sensationalizing violence in the media even prior to the rise of online social media. As the story follows two lovers on a murderous rampage, it also delves into the corrupt justice system as well as how their story becomes romanticized by the main stream media. What many critics and viewers have a difficult time rationalizing the story's themes all the while processing the events of the film, most find it troubling to realize that while Mickey and Mallory Knox murder others because they feel like it, they actually turn out to be the moral compass of the story. This film was decades before its time and cleared the path for many other films to become acceptable in mainstream Hollywood.
During the question and answer session, Oliver Stone spoke in depth about the extensive editing process that was required while making the film. Not only did the style of the project require many edits on its own, the confusing feedback from the ratings board added even additional edits. When trying to obtain an 'R' rating, the board sent broad feedback critiquing the style of the film as the problem not any one item in particular, therefore sections needed to bet cut down dramatically such as the prison riot sequence. Stone also discussed that he had to face lawsuits stating that the film caused people to commit violent acts and really explained why it would be catastrophic for this type of lawsuit to be successful. He explained that if someone was to blame art in influencing violent behavior it would censor all art and there would be no limit to where it would end. Could Beethoven cause someone to go mad?
During the screening, the audience was treated to another culinary delight from the Alamo Drafthouse Denver's Head Chef Seth Rexroad. The Mean Man Burger is a pork patty topped with bacon, mushrooms, New Mexican green chilies and ghost pepper cheese. The meal was served with fries and paired with Java Stout, Pale Ale and Happy Camper IPA from Santa Fe Brewing Company and was magic. While it sounds like a burger that would cause a 3 alarm fire, the flavors offset each other and the spice is not overwhelming. It gives the ensemble just enough kick to make this a truly exciting dining experience.
Having an Alamo Drafthouse in the community is a cultural treasure. For movie buffs or film fanatics, the Drafthouse hosts amazing events and opportunities to meet filmmakers and stars in a setting that inspires the love of film. Stay tuned and check the website for additional upcoming events.

Tillerson talks to House committee about Kushner's meddling, Trump's reluctance to confront Russia
by Aldous PennyfarthingPosted on May 22, 2019 May 29, 2019
When it comes to heroism in the current government, there's a pretty low bar. Rex Tillerson may not have had any business serving as secretary of state to begin with, but he allegedly called Donald Trump a "fucking moron," and so he's kind of a hero to me. Sort of like The Penguin betraying the Joker before biting the head off a harp seal. I'll take it. Whatever. He's helping us stop the Joker. Gotham is grateful.
So it was again today when Tillerson spoke with the House Foreign Affairs Committee and dished on the ferocious incompetence of Boy Kush and the administration's reluctance to confront Russia about election interference.
The Daily Beast:
Tillerson's arrival at the Capitol was handled with extreme secrecy. No media advisories or press releases were sent out announcing his appearance. And he took a little noticed route into the building in order to avoid being seen by members of the media.
Tillerson reached out to the committee and expressed a willingness to meet, a committee aide said. In a more than six hour meeting, he told members and staffers that the Trump administration actively avoided confronting Russia about allegations of interference in the election in an effort to develop a solid relationship with the Kremlin, a committee aide told The Daily Beast.
Hmm, a "solid relationship" could mean a lot of things. It might simply mean there was a quid pro qu-oh, shit don't release that pee tape! Who knows? But, yeah, I can only assume it had more to do with protecting Donald Trump than protecting our national interests — especially considering that Russia, you know, attacked us.
Tillerson told the committee that the president's son-in-law, Jared Kushner at times impeded his ability to effectively communicate and introduce to President Trump policy proposals developed by State Department experts on major foreign affairs matters across the globe, not just in the Middle East. Kushner, a White House advisor, has publicly focused much of his international efforts on the Middle East and is set to unveil a Middle East peace plan in the coming weeks.
So Little Lord Fauntleroy eschewed the advice of the entire State Department in favor of his own imagined foreign policy expertise. That's not unnerving or anything. Kushner is best known for buying a building for far too much money and convincing a woman with the worst male role model in the history of our country to marry him. So not exactly a heavyweight. On top of that, he's a charisma black hole. I mean, the guy makes Roger Stone look like JFK. I doubt he could score drugs at Burning Man. We really expect him to broker Middle East peace?
Thanks for trying, Rex, but I doubt any of this will change the fucking moron's behavior.
Donald Trump hates you! Hate him back! Dear F*cking Lunatic: 101 Obscenely Rude Letters to Donald Trump and its breathlessly awaited sequel Dear F*cking Moron: 101 More Letters to Donald Trump (now out in paperback, too) by Aldous J. Pennyfarthing are now available at Amazon! Reviewers have called these books "hysterically funny," "cathartic," and "laugh-out-loud" comic relief. And you can get them for less than the price of a cup of coffee … or a black-market Xanax … or five minutes of therapy. It's time to heal, my friends. Buy now!

Beauty and the Biome – WSJ covers Microbiome (again)!
In yet another article, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) is writing about the microbiome. In previous articles here and here, the WSJ has covered the link between the gut microbiome, mood and mental wellness – and in this recent one from June 8, they tackle the links between our microbiome and both immunity and skin health.
You can read the original HERE (with pictures of a number of topical products to support the "skin microbiome") – and/or read a highlighted version of the article below with my links.
What Is Your Microbiome? A Wellness Trend Taking On Post-Covid Urgency
Probiotics aren't just good for your gut: How hyping "good" bacteria can boost immunity and protect your skin
By Fiorella Valdesolo
Call it a sign of the times: Microbiomes—the network of bacteria, fungi, viruses and other microorganisms (or microbiota) that our bodies play host to—have been getting more attention of late. Though they're known for aiding digestion, their role in healthy immune function may be what's currently boosting their reputation. "With the emergence of Covid, we're all becoming aware of just how important it [the microbiome] is," says New York–based dermatologist Whitney Bowe. A recent study by the Chinese University in Hong Kong that compared data from 27 recovering Covid-19 patients to healthy samples found that microbiome imbalance was linked to the severity and length of Covid cases. (Those with Covid lacked certain types of good bacteria.) Researchers at the University of Connecticut are continuing to examine the link between the Covid vaccine and the microbiome.
The intestinal, or gut, microbiome is best known, but other areas of the body, like the mouth, skin and vagina, have their own as well. And now there's a renewed push from beauty brands in their messaging around the microbiome and the health of your skin. "We're very much gearing up for this [the microbiome] to be the next hot topic," says Michelle Connelly, vice president of merchandising and planning at beauty store Credo. While popular awareness of the gut microbiome has been growing for the past decade, a broader understanding of the skin microbiome and how it connects to the gut is in its early stages. "Consumers are familiar with the concept that they should take probiotics as an internal supplement," says Connelly, "but the connection to skin care is still vague."
A properly functioning skin microbiome, composed of bacteria known also as skin flora, is critical to skin's health: It fortifies the skin's barrier, trapping moisture, shielding against infection and environmental aggressors and reducing inflammation. When the microbiome is lacking in good bacteria, the skin's barrier function is compromised. The result is what Bowe calls "leaky skin," her riff on the term "leaky gut," a colloquial expression for increased intestinal permeability. "Leaky skin becomes dehydrated, and all those irritants and allergens and pollutants and pathogens are able to penetrate and trigger inflammation," she says. Bowe says inflammation can manifest in various ways, showing up as acne, eczema or accelerated aging. And it's often the cause of what people identify as "sensitive skin," which, according to a 2019 Frontiers in Medicine study, 60 to 70 percent of American women and 50 to 60 percent of American men report having.
"Consumers are familiar with the concept that they should take probiotics as an internal supplement, but the connection to skin care is still vague."

Diet, chronic stress and environmental factors like UV light and pollution all impact the skin's microbiome, as do skin-care products. "Today we have never used so many products and yet our skin has never been worse," says Elsa Jungman, founder of the Dr. Elsa Jungman skin-care line. "The more we interfere with our microbiome by cleansing and layering skin care, the more we get rid of those essential nutrients for it to function properly." Overcleansing and overexfoliating can have particularly detrimental effects. Bowe calls out cleansers with high pH or harsh sulfates. "They strip the skin of the healthy fats our microbiome needs to survive and thrive," she says. Mechanical face brushes and grainy exfoliants are also major disruptors. Using too many products with highly active ingredients, like retinol and various acids, can pose a problem as well. "They can disrupt the skin barrier and negatively impact the microbiome if you overuse them, layer them or use them too frequently," says Bowe, who tells patients to follow a formula of "push, push, recover, recover." "On the first push night you exfoliate with something like an alpha or beta hydroxy acid, on the second you use a retinol, and then on nights three and four you just focus on nourishing and repairing with things like glycerin, jojoba oil and squalene."
A number of brands have made supporting the microbiome a central tenet of their formulations. Beekman 1802 features goat milk as its marquee ingredient because, the company says, it has a pH level similar to that of human skin and won't disrupt its acid mantle, the oil, sweat and acid film on the skin's surface that, with the microbiome, acts as a shield. "This might sound weird coming from a skin-care company, but the very best thing you can do for the health of your microbiome is to do as little as possible," says founder Brent Ridge, a physician who specializes in the field of aging and geriatric medicine. Beekman 1802 sought out a Microbiome-friendly accreditation—a test by MyMicrobiome, a company co-founded by microbiologist Kristin Neumann, that examines whether products maintain the skin's balance. Ridge hopes the certification helps provide clarity for consumers. Jungman's line was granted the same accreditation, and now Jungman, who holds a Ph.D. in skin pharmacology, is developing a swab test with microbiologist Kelly Haas so consumers can check their skin microbiome at home and get personalized reports.
"This might sound weird coming from a skin-care company, but the very best thing you can do for the health of your microbiome is to do as little as possible."

But it's not just about slapping on products with probiotics, or beneficial bacteria, says aesthetician Kristina Holey, who frequently incorporates gut analysis into her treatments with clients. "In skin care we focus this laser light on one thing and we say this does everything, but it doesn't work that way," says Holey's frequent collaborator Marie-Veronique Nadeau, a chemist. "It's about creating the environment in which probiotics can thrive." And that goes more than skin deep: The concept of what is commonly referred to as the gut-brain-skin axis holds that these systems are interconnected. In her book Younger Skin Starts in the Gut, L.A.-based naturopathic doctor Nigma Talib speaks to how food and lifestyle can impact our microbiomes. "Stress, alcohol, commonly used medications, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and our diets can determine whether our bacteria is mostly formed of healthy bacteria, or the opposite," Talib writes. She points to an Ohio State University trial using mice, published in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity in 2010, that showed inflammation-producing bacteria thrived during periods of stress.
"Skin cannot live on skin care alone," says Rachel Behm, founder of the new brand Layers. Behm specifies the importance of eating a diet that supports healthy microbes, including a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fermented foods, and limiting refined sugars, artificial sweeteners and processed carbs. "A recent study [of 647 participants in Germany, published in the British Journal of Dermatology] showed that if you alter your diet you can actually directly change the microbes in your skin," says Bowe. "The science surrounding the microbiome will change the entire way we think about the skin and take care of it."

Condos planned north of zoo
Sep. 7, 2006 12:00 a.m.
Condominiums proposed for construction just north of the San Francisco Zoo will offer views of the Pacific Ocean, but those views won't come to fruition before the demolition of three buildings where a motel, surf shop and café make their homes.
The proposal for the 2800 block of Sloat Boulevard, between 46th and 47th avenues, calls for three new mixed-use five-story buildings standing 60 feet, dozens of condominiums and 26,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space.
Eighty-two off-street parking spots are also in the blueprints.
"That whole block is kind of decrepit," said Buffy Maguire, co-owner of the Java Beach Café on La Playa and Judah streets. "We really are due for revitalization. We are trying to revitalize our little nook."
Plans call for tearing down three buildings totaling 21,000 square feet along with the existing 30-space parking lot. The developer aims to provide space for two of his commercial tenants, city planner Susan Mickelsen said. John's Ocean Beach Café and the Aqua Surf Shop are expected to get retail space in the new development.
The café has been open for nearly three decades and the rent is affordable, said Tony Batshon, the son of the café's namesake.
Batshon said the future of the café is unknown since it is unclear what the rent will be in the new building.
"The issue is how much" will it cost to stay, he said. "Anything that's overpriced would have to push us out."
The plan has yet to go through the public approval process. The soonest demolition could take place is in about a year, Mickelsen said.
Aqua Surf Shop intends to stay near Ocean Beach, co-owner Aleks Petrovich said. But he was reluctant to discuss further details since he doesn't want his competition to know his plans.
The third tenant, Robert's At The Beach Motel, won't be given a chance to relocate into the new space.
Owner-manager Andy Patel said he's not sure where he will move once he has to leave his oceanside motel.
"I want to stay in the hotel business," Patel said. "I may look in another city or state."
