Know who You are - claiming ownership
Your straw man (Strawman) is an artificial person
Meet Your Strawman!
Your straw man (Strawman) is an artificial person created by law at the of your birth, the inscription of an ALL-CAPITAL LETTERS NAME on your birth certificate/document, which is a document of title and a negotiable instrument. Your lawful, Christian name of birthright was replaced with a legal, corporate name of deceit and fraud. Your name in upper and lower case letters (Jane Mary Doe) has been answering when the legal person, your name in ALL-CAPTIAL LETTERS (JANE MARY DOE), is addressed, and therefore the two have been recognized as being one and the same. When, you Jane Mary Doe, the lawful being distinguish yourself as another party than the legal person, the two will be separated.
Legally, since your birth your artificial person, has been considered a slave or indentured servant to the various federal, provincial and municipal governments via your STATE-issued, STATE-created birth certificate in the name of your all-caps person. Your birth certificate was issued so that the issuer could claim "exclusive" title to the legal person created. This was further compounded when you voluntarily obtained a driver's license and a SSN (Social Security Number).
The state even owns your personal and private life through your STATE-issued marriage license/certificate issued in the all-caps names. You have had no rights in birth, marriage, nor will you have them even in death unless you re-capture your straw man. (The names on tombstones in cemeteries are in all-caps.) The STATE holds the title to your legal person it created via your birth certificate, until Jane Mary Doe, the rightful owner, the holder in due course of the instrument, that is yourself, reclaims/redeems it.
On April 5, 1933, then President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, under Executive Order, issued April 5, 1933, declared: "All persons are required to deliver on or before May 1, 1933 all Gold Coin, Gold Bullion, & Gold Certificates now owned by them to a Federal Reserve Bank, branch or agency, or to any member bank of the Federal Reserve System."
James A. Farley, Postmaster General at that time, required each postmaster in the country to post a copy of the Executive Order in a conspicuous place within each branch of the Post Office. On the bottom of the posting was the following:
CRIMINAL PENALTIES for VIOLATION of EXECUTIVE ORDER
$10,000 fine or 10 years imprisonment, or both, as provided in Section 9 of the order.
Section 9 of the order reads as follows: "Whosoever willfully violates any provisions of this Executive Order or of these regulations or of any rule, regulation or license issued thereunder may be fined not more than $10,000, or if a natural person, may be imprisoned for not more than 10 years, or both; & any officer, director or agency of any corporation who knowingly participates in any such violation may be punished by a like fine, imprisonment, or both.
NOTE: Stated within a written document received September 17, 1997, from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Legal Counsel, Office of the Deputy Assistant Attorney General, Richard L. Shiffin, in response to a FOIA, was the following: "A fact that is frequently overlooked is that Executive Orders & proclamations of the President normally have no direct effect upon private persons or their property, & instead, normally constitute only directives or instructions to officers or employees of the Federal Government. The exception is those cases in which the President is expressly authorized or required by laws enacted by the Congress to issue an Executive order or proclamation dealing with the legal rights or obligations of members of the public. Such as issuance of Selective Service Regulations, establishment of boards to investigate certain labor disputes, & establishment of quotas or fees with respect to certain imports into this country."
Note: it seems rather obvious that President Franklin D. Roosevelt was not "expressly authorized or required" to "issue an Executive Order or proclamation" demanding the public (private) to relinquish their privately held gold.
The order (proclamation) issued by Roosevelt was an undisciplined act of treason. Two months after the Executive Order, on June 5, 1933, the Senate & House of Representatives, 73d Congress, 1st session, at 4:30 p.m. approve House Joint Resolution (HJR) 192: Joint Resolution To Suspend The Gold Standard & Abrogate The Gold Clause, Joint resolution to assure uniform value to the coins & currencies of the United States.
HJR-192 states, in part, that "Every provision contained in or made with respect to any obligation which purports to give the oblige a right to require payment in gold or a particular kind of coin or currency, or in any amount of money of the United States measured thereby, is declared to be against public policy, & no such provision shall be contained in or made with respect to any obligation hereafter incurred. Every obligation, heretofore or hereafter incurred, whether or not any such provisions is contained therein or made with respect thereto, shall be discharged upon payment, dollar for dollar, in any such coin or currency which at the time of payment is legal tender for public & private debts."
HJR-192 goes on to state: "As used in this resolution, the term 'obligation' means an obligation (including every obligation of & to the United States, excepting currency) payable in money of the United States; & the term 'coin or currency' means coin or currency of the United States, including Federal Reserve notes & circulating notes of Federal Reserve banks & national banking associations."
HJR-192 superseded Public Law (what passes as law today is only "color of law"), replacing it with public policy. This eliminated our ability to PAY our debts, allowing only for their DISCHARGE. When we use any commercial paper (checks, drafts, warrants, federal reserve notes, etc.), & accept it as money, we simply pass the unpaid debt attached to the paper on to others, by way of our purchases & transactions. This unpaid debt, under public policy, now carries a public liability for its collection. In other words, all debt is now public.
The United States government, in order to provide necessary goods & services, created a commercial bond (promissory note), by pledging the property, labor, life & body of its citizens, as payment for the debt (bankruptcy). This commercial bond made chattel (property) out of every man, woman & child in the United States. We became nothing more than "human resources" & collateral for the debt. This was without our knowledge &/or our consent. How? It was done through the filing (registration) of our birth certificates!
The United States government -actually the elected & appointed administrators of government -took (& still do, to this day) certified copies of all our birth certificates & placed them in the United States Department of Commerce ... as registered securities.
These securities, each of which carries an estimated $1,000,000 (one million) dollar value, have been (& still are) circulated around the world as collateral for loans, entries on the asset side of ledgers, etc., just like any other security. There's just one problem, we didn't authorize it.
The United States is a District of Columbia corporation.
In Volume 20: Corpus Juris Sec. § 1785 we find "The United States government is a foreign corporation with respect to a State" (see: NY re: Merriam 36 N.E. 505 1441 S. 0.1973, 14 L. Ed. 287). Since a corporation is a fictitious "person" (it can not speak, see, touch, smell, etc.), it can not, by itself, function in the real world. It needs a conduit, a transmitting utility, a liaison of some sort, to "connect" the fictional person, & fictional world in which it exists, to the real world.
LIVING people, exist in a real world, not a fictional, virtual world. But government does exist in a fictional world, & can only deal directly with other fictional or virtual persons, agencies, states, etc.. In order for a fictional person to deal with real people there must be a connection, a liaison, & a go-between. This can be something as simple as a contract. When both "persons," the real & the fictional, agree to the terms of a contract, there is a connection, intercourse, dealings, there is a communication, an exchange. There is business! But there is another way for fictional government to deal with the real man & woman: through the use of a representative, a liaison, & the go-between. Who is this go-between, this liaison that connects fictional government to real men & women? It's a government created shadow, a fictional man or woman ... with the same name as ours.
This PERSON was created by using our birth certificates as the MCO (manufacturer's certificate of origin) & the state in which we were born as the "port of entry". This gave fictional government a fictional PERSON with whom to deal directly. This PERSON is a straw man (strawman).
STRAMINEUS HOMO: Latin: A man of straw, one of no substance, put forward as bail or surety. This definition comes from Black's Law Dictionary, 6th. Edition, page 1421. Following the definition of STRAMINEUS HOMO in Black's we find the next word, straw man (Strawman). STRAWMAN: A front, a third party who is put up in name only to take part in a transaction. Nominal party to a transaction; one who acts as an agent for another for the purposes of taking title to real property & executing whatever documents & instruments the principal may direct. Person who purchases property for another to conceal identity of real purchaser or to accomplish some purpose otherwise not allowed.
Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary defines the term "strawman" as:
1: a weak or imaginary opposition set up only to be easily confuted
2: a person set up to serve as a cover for a usually questionable transaction.
The straw man (Strawman) can be summed up as an imaginary, passive stand-in for the real participant; a front; a blind; a person regarded as a nonentity. The straw man (Strawman) is a "shadow", a go-between. For quite some time a rather large number of people in this country have known that a man or woman's name, written in ALL CAPS, or last name first, does not identify real, living people. Taking this one step further, the rules of grammar for the English language have no provisions for the abbreviation of people's names, i.e. initials are not to be used. As an example, John Adam Smith is correct. ANYTHING else is not correct. Not Smith, John Adam or Smith, John A. or J. Smith or J. A. Smith or JOHN ADAM SMITH or SMITH, JOHN or any other variation. NOTHING, other than John Adam Smith identifies the real, living man. All other appellations identify either a deceased man or a fictitious man: such as a corporation or a STRAW MAN (STRAWMAN).
(See this video and consider both sides of the presentation: The "Straw Man" Fallacy)
Over the years government, through its "public" school system, has managed to pull the wool over our eyes & keep US ignorant of some very important facts. Because all facets of the media (print, radio, television) have an ever-increasing influence in our lives, & because media is controlled (with the issuance of licenses, etc.) by government & its agencies, we have slowly & systematically been led to believe that any form/appellation of our names is, in fact, still us: as long as the spelling is correct. WRONG!
We were never told, with full & open disclosure, what our government officials were planning to do & why. We were never told that government (the United States) was a corporation, a fictitious "person". We were never told that government had quietly, almost secretly, created a shadow, a STRAW MAN (STRAWMAN) for each & every AMERICAN, so that government could not only "control" the people, but also raise an almost unlimited amount of revenue - so it could continue not just to exist, but to GROW. We were never told that when government deals with the STRAW MAN (STRAWMAN) it is not dealing with real, living, men & women. We were never told, openly & clearly with full disclosure of all the facts, that since June 5, 1933, we have been unable to pay our debts.
We were never told that we had been pledged (& our children, & their children, & their children, & on & on) as collateral, mere chattel, for the debt created by government officials who committed treason in doing so. We were never told that they quietly & cleverly changed the rules, even the game itself, & that the world we perceive as real is in fact fictional -& it's all for their benefit. We were never told that the STRAW MAN (STRAWMAN) -a fictional person, a creature of the state -is subject to all the codes, statutes, rules, regulations,ordinances, etc. decreed by government, but that WE, the real man & woman, are not. We were never told we were being treated as property, as slaves (albeit comfortably for some), while living in the land of the free -& that we could, easily, walk away from the fraud.
WE WERE NEVER TOLD, WE WERE BEING ABUSED!
There's something else you should know: Everything, since June 1933, operates in COMMERCE! Commerce is based on agreement, contract. Government has an implied agreement with the straw man (Strawman) (government's creation) & the straw man (Strawman) is subject to government rule, as we illustrated above. But when we, the real flesh & blood man & woman, step into their "process" we become the "surety" for the fictional straw man (Strawman). Reality & fiction are reversed. We then become liable for the debts, liabilities & obligations of the straw man (Strawman), relinquishing our real (protected) character as we stand up for the fictional straw man (Strawman).
So that we can once again place the straw man (Strawman) in the fictional world & ourselves in the real world (with all our "shields" in place against fictional government) we must send a nonnegotiable (private) "Charge Back" & a nonnegotiable "Bill of Exchange" to the United States Secretary of Treasury, along with a copy of our birth certificate, the evidence, the MCO, of the straw man (Strawman). By doing this we discharge our portion of the public debt, releasing US, the real man, from the debts, liabilities & obligations of the straw man (Strawman). Those debts, liabilities & obligations exist in the fictional commercial world of "book entries", on computers &/or in paper ledgers. It is a world of "digits" & "notes", not of money & substance. Property of the real man once again becomes tax exempt & free from levy, as it must be in accord with HJR-192.
Sending the nonnegotiable Charge Back & Bill of Exchange accesses our Treasury Direct Account (TDA). What is our TDA? Let's go to Title 26 USC & take a look at section 163(h)(3)(B)(ii), $1,000,000 limitation: "The aggregate amount treated as acquisition indebtedness for any period shall not exceed $1,000,000 ($500,000 in the case of a married individual filing a separate return)."
This $1,000,000 (one million) account is for the straw man (Strawman), the fictional "person" with the name in all caps &/or last name first. It is there for the purpose of making book entries, to move figures, "digits" from one side of ledgers to the other. Without constant movement a shark will die & quite ironically, like the shark, there must also be constant movement in commerce, or it too will die. Figures, digits, the entries in ledgers must move from asset side to debit side & back again, or commerce dies. No movement, no commerce.
The fictional person of government can only function in a fictional commercial world, one where there is no real money, only fictional funds ... mere entries, figures, & digits.
A presentment from fictional government -from traffic citation to criminal charges -is a negative, commercial "claim" against the straw man (Strawman). This "claim" takes place in the commercial, fictional world of government. "Digits" move from one side of your straw man (Strawman) account to the other, or to a different account. This is today's commerce.
In the past we have addressed these "claims" by fighting them in court, with one "legal process" or another, & failed. We have played the futile, legalistic, dog-&-pony show -a very clever distraction -while the commerce game played on.
But what if we refused to play dog-&-pony, & played the commerce game instead? What if we learned how to control the flow & movement of entries, figures, & digits, for our own benefit? Is that possible? And if so, how? How can the real man in the real world, function in the fictional world in which the commerce game exists?
When in commerce do as commerce does, use the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC)?
The UCC1 Financing Statement is the one contract in the world that can NOT be broken & it's the foundation of the Accepted For Value process.
The power of this document is awesome.
Since the TDA exists for the straw man (Strawman) -who, until now, has been controlled by government - WE can gain control (& ownership) of the straw man (Strawman) by first activating the TDA & then filing an UCC-1 Financing Statement. This does two things for US.
First, by activating the TDA we gain limited control over the funds in the account. This allows US to also move entries, figures, & digits ... for OUR benefit.
Secondly, by properly filing an UCC-1 Financing Statement we can become the holder in due course of the straw man (Strawman). This gives us virtual ownership of the government created entity.
So what? What does it all mean?
Remember earlier we mentioned that a presentment from government or one of its agents or agencies was a negative commercial claim against the straw man (Strawman) (& the Strawman's account, the TDA)?
Remember we told you entries, figures, & digits moved from one side of the account to the other, or to a different account?
Well now, with the straw man (Strawman) under our control, government has no access to the TDA & they also lose their go-between, their liaison, their "connection" to the real, living man & woman. From now on, when presented with a "claim" (presentment) from government, we will agree with it (this removes the "controversy") & we will ACCEPT IT FOR VALUE.
By doing this we remove the negative claim against our account & become the "holder in due course" of the presentment. As holder in due course you can require the sworn testimony of the presenter of the "claim" (under penalty of perjury) & request the account be properly adjusted.
It's all business, a commercial undertaking, & the basic procedure is not complicated. In fact, it's fairly simple. We just have to remember a few things, like: this is not a "legal" procedure -we're not playing dog-&-pony. This is commerce, & we play by the rules of commerce. We accept the "claim", become the holder in due course, & challenge whether or not the presenter of the claim had/has the proper authority (the Order) to make the claim (debit our account) in the first place. When they cannot produce the Order (they never can, it was never issued) we request the account be properly adjusted (the charge, the "claim " goes away).
If they don't adjust the account a request is made for the bookkeeping records showing where the funds in question were assigned. This is done by requesting the Fiduciary Tax Estimate & the Fiduciary Tax Return for this claim. Since the claim has been accepted for value & is prepaid, & our TDA account is exempt from levy, the request for the Fiduciary Tax Estimate & the Fiduciary Tax Return is valid because the information is necessary in determining who is delinquent &/or making claims on the account. If there is no record of the Fiduciary Tax Estimate & the Fiduciary Tax Return, we then request the individual tax estimates & individual tax returns to determine if there is any delinquency.
If we receive no favorable response to the above requests, we will then file a currency report on the amount claimed/assessed against our account & begin the commercial process that will force them to either do what's required or lose everything they own -except for the clothing they are wearing at the time. This is the power of contracts (commerce) & it should be mentioned, at least this one time, that a contract overrides the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, & any other document other than another contract. We should also mention that no process of law -"color" of law under present codes, statutes, rules, regulations, ordinances, etc. - can operate upon you, no agent &/or agency of government (including courts) can gain jurisdiction over you, WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT.
You, (we) are not within their fictional commercial venue.
The Accepted for Value process, however, gives us the ability to deal with "them" -through the use of our transmitting utility/go-between, the straw man (Strawman) -& hold them accountable in their own commercial world, for any action(s) they attempt to take against us. Without a proper Order, & now we know they're not in possession of such a document, they must leave us alone ... or pay the consequences.
Yes, this process IS powerful.
Yes, it CAN set us free from government oppression & control.
But remember: "What goes around, comes around". "Do unto others, as you have others do unto you."
It's simple, folks, DO NOT ABUSE THIS PROCESS ... if you do it could come around & bite you

Что бы чего-то добиться, необходимо работать
Эльвина Каримова
ELVIRA KARIMOVA – To Achieve Something You Have to Work on It
Despite her young age, Elvira Karimova, member of Junior National and Russia National U21 Team and Zlatoust Uralochka, is one of the most titled water polo players. She is not only a repeated Russian Champion, but also a World and European Youth Champion. However, 18-year-old Zlatoust athlete, regardless of her achievements, believes it is only a start of her competitive career. To achieve something even bigger, Elvira says, she will have to work hard every day. Probably this very incredible endurance is what makes petite, according to the water polo standards, Elvira Karimova the biggest trouble for her opponents.
Q: Why did you decide to go in for sports and start practicing water polo in particular?
A: I really wanted to learn to swim; I always enjoyed it for some reason. That is how I ended up in the swimming pool. First, I did not even realize it was water polo I was training for with the team. I thought we were just swimming. Then, as I grew up a little and we started playing, it finally got to me what it was about. So, I began practicing water polo. I still remember how on my first day at the pool they asked me, "Do you want to learn to swim or just play in the water?" and I said I definitely wanted to swim. That is how I became a water polo player.
Q: How old were you back then?
A: I was 9, by the time I turned 10 we started to really train for water polo. When I was 13 or 14 I realized it was not something I did just for fun, it was a real professional job. That is when we entered our first competitions and I felt my responsibility and a desire to develop my skills and move forward…
Q: Was it hard to first practice with the ball?
A: It was not just the ball! We had to swim head-up, breast stroke for legs, crawl for arms – that's what was very hard for me. I did not understand it all. Then they gave us a ball and we had our first game training… I was sent off, but I didn't know why. Everyone was mad at me… So, with the time I understood what to do and what not to do in the game, where to swim, how to pass the ball and how to hit it.
Q: Do you remember the first competition you won?
A: Of course, I do. The first big event, on the whole, was 2007 Spartakiad. We ended up second, girls were very upset, some cried; and I was the youngest, I did not completely realize the meaning of that competition. We won our first victory a little bit later. We became Russian Champions. I scored three goals; I distinctively remember my two goals to the team of Nizhny Novgorod.
Q: What is your most vivid recollection?
A: Definitely 2009 World Youth Championship in Khanty-Mansiysk! Our national team has become a world Champion for the first time and it was in Russia…These were some lively and extremely emotional moments. Then, there's European Championships where we knew exactly what was going on and how we had to play to win. I wanted to us become Champions so much – it was the first European Championships for me and for some other girls, too. And we did make all of our dreams come true.
Q: After you won World Championship, did you ever feel that may be you could then relax a little? May be play half-steam with the weaker opponent and skimp training?
A: No, I never thought about it. Those team members have grown up already, not everybody played for the national team. Though, somebody might have thought about it. May be, the feeling of us being superior to others was the reason why we did not win any medals at last year's Championships in Italy. In Khanty-Mansiysk we had quite a different spirit. Every member of that team wanted to win. Every game was like a battle we fought with sparkling eyes!
Q: Do you ever wake up in the morning and feel like you don't want to train today? What do you do then?
A: Yes, it happens sometimes (laughs). But then you think about the consequences and all these feelings disappear! It is always better to train in good mood; otherwise there'll be no use in it and you will simply destroy everyone else's spirit.
Q: Did you ever regret your choice to be in sport?
A: No, and I never did. Any way you slice it – it has only bright sides. Thanks to sport we have already been to so many countries. Would I have a chance to see the world like I did if I'd chosen something else?! And if I quit…Where would I ever turn to? I have always loved what I do. So, I don't even think about it.
Q: You train every morning and every evening. Do you have enough time for something else except water polo?
A: Sometimes… Most of the times I just want to fall asleep after training, but I could easily miss my entire life like that! (laughs) I still have to study and some private life. It is very hard, though, to combine school and sport. It is always school and training, training and school, so, after just two or three days you don't feel like anything else! I always have "debts" – credits, exams and tests which I pass together with the other girls in the break between competitions.
Q: Do you ever get bored with one another? You are together almost all the time; do you get tired of the same people?
A: Well, you might get tired of some people… But there's somebody you go out with even after spending a whole day training together. Sometimes I think to myself "I am so tired of all of them!" Then, we don't meet just for a day, but it feels like it's been forever! In fact, we are always happy to see each other, because we've been together since childhood, we already are like a family.
Q: Do you have some goal or may be a dream?
A: Sure, there's a lot of thing I'd love! Winning the Olympic Games, for example. I think, every athlete dreams about it, as in sports it is the greatest achievement. I also have some personal goals which I hope I will be able reach.
Q: Does sport teach you to get what you want?
A: It does that too. Sport makes a person more organized and disciplined, teaches to focus on one specific goal. We differ a lot from the girls our age. It's as if they are still children… They might be 17-18 years old, but they have no idea what it's like to be independent and to have a job. Feel like we know more about life already… We are more self-reliant, we understand we need to work to achieve something. It is a completely different attitude to life.
Q: In September you will again take part in the European Junior Water Polo Championships. What do you think is our team's strength?
A: This team consists of the best player our country has to offer. We will be strong if we show the perfect team work where everybody supports one another. And more important, there has to be a desire to play, not just to come and perform somehow.

What is Ultherapy Skin Tightening?
Ultherapy is currently the only non-invasive procedure that is FDA approved to tighten and lift the skin on the face and neck.
Ultherapy uses ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production in the deep layers of the skin and underlying structures while bypassing the surface of the skin.
By utilizing ultrasound technology, Dr. Patel is able to effectively see the different tissue layers and provide you with the most accurate treatment.
When the treatment is performed, small, precise areas of micro-focused energy is delivered to the various depths of tissue which, over time, stimulate collagen production and this is what tightens and lifts the skin.
Ultherapy is a non-surgical option for skin tightening and lifting.
The results from Ultherapy are natural and gradual as collagen stimulation is a gradual process with maximum results in 6 months.
Ultherapy is an excellent option for anyone who wants to rejuvenate and tighten their skin without undergoing surgery or other invasive procedures.
Ultherapy can be used in all different skin colors and ethnicities.
Dr. Patel has effectively and safely treated patients that ranged from very fair complexions to dark complexions, and all different types of ethnicities.
A complimentary consultation is offered for anyone considering Ultherapy, in order to give you an opportunity to discuss your goals and have Dr. Patel evaluate your skin and history to see if you are a good candidate for the treatment.
There is no down time associated with Ultherapy and patients find they can resume their regular activities immediately after treatment.
What parts of the body is Ultherapy good for?
While Ultherapy is only currently FDA approved for treating skin laxity of the face and neck, it is commonly used "off-label" in areas including the abdomen, buttocks, and arms.
Often patients start with their face, and like the results so much that they now want their neck, abdomen, and buttocks treated.
The Ultherapy tratments are adjusted based on body area to tailor the best treatment for your body and goals.
Once you have been evaluated and found to be a good candidate for Ultherapy, the treatment may begin.
No topical numbing is required for Ultherapy treatments. Some patients prefer to be given pain medication (injection or oral). This decision is dependent on each individual patient and their pain tolerance.
If you choose to have pain medication, you must have someone available to drive you home after the treatment.
If you have a history of cold sore or herpes breakouts, we recommend pre-treating and post-treating with an anti-viral such as Acyclovir, as Ultherapy treatments can activate outbreaks in some patients.
A prescription for medications determined by your provider will be written for you and you will have the option of using your insurance or to pay cash for the medication.
You will then be given a gentle cleanser to use to wash the area completely clean of any makeup or lotions.
After drying the skin, you will be given a headband to keep hair out of the area, and protective eyewear to wear during the procedure.
It is also recommended to remove jewelry at this time. Next the areas are treated with the Ultherapy.
The hand piece is similar to ultrasounds received in the hospital or what expectant mothers receive.
When the pulse is delivered to the skin you may feel a "pin prick" like sensation.
On average, the treatment time of an Ultherapy treatment is about 1 ½ -2 hours.
After the treatment is finished, a moisturizing cream and sunscreen will be applied to the skin.
Sun protection is of utmost importance after Ultherapy treatments.
In general, you should avoid unprotected natural and artificial sun exposure until healed and always use a broad spectrum sunscreen (UVA & UVB) with a SPF of 30 or greater between treatments.
Make sure you reapply throughout the day, not just once in the morning. Keeping the treatment areas hydrated and moisturized is important for the overall texture and quality of your skin.
While Ultherapy is very safe there are some risks associated with the treatments.
These risks include: pain; redness; local tenderness; swelling; allergic reactions; bruising; welts; painful or unattractive scarring; delayed healing; burns/blisters; unsatisfactory result; lack of permanent results; tingling/tenderness to the touch for days to weeks following the procedure-these are mild and temporary in nature; numbness in a select area, which resolves in days to weeks; temporary nerve inflammation, which will resolve in a matter of days to weeks; temporary local muscle weakness may result after treatment due to inflammation of a motor nerve; temporary numbness may result after treatment due to inflammation of a sensory nerve; risks associated with medication use.
Immediately following Ultherapy, some mild redness may be present, this usually resolves within a few hours after treatment.
Patients are able to apply makeup immediately following the treatment and can resume normal activities.
Some tenderness may be felt after the treatment that typically lasts for a few days.
Since the results from Ultherapy are natural and gradual, results are not typically seen until 2-3 months after the treatment.
Optimal results are seen 6 months after the first treatment.
For many patients, only one treatment is necessary but some patients find they are so happy with the results they get from one treatment, they want to do additional treatments. If treatment is repeated, it is recommended to wait at least 6 months if not longer, as there is improvement over time.


When we don't take the time to learn enough about a candidate, we risk disrupting our business far and above the level of disruption that a need or departure has created. When we hire badly, we take even more time to fill the position. We create a mess trying to fit the person in, salvage the hire (or place them in another role), and perhaps get rid of the person and end up looking again. Making a hiring mistake can turn the wrong candidate's life upside down. Getting hired is as much of a pain as hiring someone – and just asdifficult.

An Enantioselective Artificial Metallo-Hydratase
Chem. Sci. 2013, 4, 3578, 10.1039/c3sc51449h
Direct addition of water to alkenes to generate important chiral alcohols as key motif in a variety of natural products still remains a challenge in organic chemistry. Here, we report the first enantioselective artificial metallo-hydratase, based on the transcription factor LmrR, which catalyses the conjugate addition of water to generate chiral β-hydroxy ketones with enantioselectivities up to 84% ee. A mutagenesis study revealed that an aspartic acid and a phenylalanine located in the active site play a key role in achieving efficient catalysis and high enantioselectivities.

Design of an Enantioselective Artificial Metallo-Hydratase Enzyme Containing an Unnatural Metal-Binding Amino Acid
Maréchal, J.-D.; Roelfes, G.
Chem. Sci. 2017, 8, 7228-7235, 10.1039/C7SC03477F
The design of artificial metalloenzymes is a challenging, yet ultimately highly rewarding objective because of the potential for accessing new-to-nature reactions. One of the main challenges is identifying catalytically active substrate–metal cofactor–host geometries. The advent of expanded genetic code methods for the in vivo incorporation of non-canonical metal-binding amino acids into proteins allow to address an important aspect of this challenge: the creation of a stable, well-defined metal-binding site. Here, we report a designed artificial metallohydratase, based on the transcriptional repressor lactococcal multidrug resistance regulator (LmrR), in which the non-canonical amino acid (2,2′-bipyridin-5yl)alanine is used to bind the catalytic Cu(II) ion. Starting from a set of empirical pre-conditions, a combination of cluster model calculations (QM), protein–ligand docking and molecular dynamics simulations was used to propose metallohydratase variants, that were experimentally verified. The agreement observed between the computationally predicted and experimentally observed catalysis results demonstrates the power of the artificial metalloenzyme design approach presented here.

E. coli Surface Display of Streptavidin for Directed Evolution of an Allylic Deallylase
Artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs hereafter) combine attractive features of both homogeneous catalysts and enzymes and offer the potential to implement new-to-nature reactions in living organisms. Herein we present an E. coli surface display platform for streptavidin (Sav hereafter) relying on an Lpp-OmpA anchor. The system was used for the high throughput screening of a bioorthogonal CpRu-based artificial deallylase (ADAse) that uncages an allylcarbamate-protected aminocoumarin 1. Two rounds of directed evolution afforded the double mutant S112M–K121A that displayed a 36-fold increase in surface activity vs. cellular background and a 5.7-fold increased in vitro activity compared to the wild type enzyme. The crystal structure of the best ADAse reveals the importance of mutation S112M to stabilize the cofactor conformation inside the protein.

In the presence of human carbonic anhydrase II, aryl-sulfonamide-bearing IrCp* pianostool complexes catalyze the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of imines. Critical cofactor–protein interactions revealed by the X-ray structure of [(η5-Cp*)Ir(pico 4)Cl] 9 ⊂ WT hCA II were genetically optimized to improve the catalytic performance of the artificial metalloenzyme (68% ee, kcat/KM 6.11 × 10−3 min−1 mM−1).

Ru–protein–Co Biohybrids Designed for Solar Hydrogen Production: Understanding Electron Transfer Pathways Related to Photocatalytic Function
Chem. Sci. 2016, 7, 7068-7078, 10.1039/c6sc03121h
A series of Ru–protein–Co biohybrids have been prepared using the electron transfer proteins ferredoxin (Fd) and flavodoxin (Fld) as scaffolds for photocatalytic hydrogen production. The light-generated charge separation within these hybrids has been monitored by transient optical and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopies. Two distinct electron transfer pathways are observed. The Ru–Fd–Co biohybrid produces up to 650 turnovers of H2 utilizing an oxidative quenching mechanism for Ru(II)* and a sequential electron transfer pathway via the native [2Fe–2S] cluster to generate a Ru(III)–Fd–Co(I) charge separated state that lasts for ∼6 ms. In contrast, a direct electron transfer pathway occurs for the Ru–ApoFld–Co biohybrid, which lacks an internal electron relay, generating Ru(I)–ApoFld–Co(I) charge separated state that persists for ∼800 μs and produces 85 turnovers of H2 by a reductive quenching mechanism for Ru(II)*. This work demonstrates the utility of protein architectures for linking donor and catalytic function via direct or sequential electron transfer pathways to enable stabilized charge separation which facilitates photocatalysis for solar fuel production.
Significant Improvement of Oxidase Activity Through the Genetic Incorporation of a Redox-Active Unnatural Amino Acid
Lu, Y.; Wang, J.
Chem. Sci. 2015, 6, 3881-3885, 10.1039/C5SC01126D
While nature employs various covalent and non-covalent strategies to modulate tyrosine (Y) redox potential and pKa in order to optimize enzyme activities, such approaches have not been systematically applied for the design of functional metalloproteins. Through the genetic incorporation of 3-methoxytyrosine (OMeY) into myoglobin, we replicated important features of cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) in this small soluble protein, which exhibits selective O2 reduction activity while generating a small amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS). These results demonstrate that the electron donating ability of a tyrosine residue in the active site is important for CcO function. Moreover, we elucidated the structural basis for the genetic incorporation of OMeY into proteins by solving the X-ray structure of OMeY specific aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase complexed with OMeY.
Reaction: O2 reduction
Max TON: >1100
Notes: Reduction potential was lowered by incorporation of the unnatural amino acid 3-methoxy tyrosine.

Global geotech firm What3Words poised to focus on the Gulf
What3Words already has a presence in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Oman
Two points in Riyadh city mapped out with What3Words.
Global geosystem company What3Words plans to ramp up activity in the Gulf in the next few months, according to the firm's Middle Eastern market lead.
The UK-headquartered company, which enables users to identify and share any precise location using just three words, foresees major growth opportunities in a region where postal systems are often inaccurate or non-existent.
The firm already has a presence in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Oman, and is partnered up with major players such as ride hailing service Careem, logistics giant Aramex and Oman Taxis. What3Words is also built into regional Mercedes car models.
"We will be announcing tie-ups with more logistics partners soon in the UAE," Firas Marafie, What3Words market lead – Middle East, told Arabian Business.
Marafie said logistics and ecommerce growth has been "massive" amid the coronavirus pandemic, adding that there has been a spike in demand for online delivery.
"As a location technology company, that spike has served us well because we serve the online market and make it easier for people to receive deliveries," said London-based Marafie.
"With Gulf announcing conservative lockdowns during the coronavirus era, the last mile market has grown," he said.
The World Economic Forum has estimated the UAE's 2020 e-commerce market at $27.2bn, with similar growth across MENA.
A recent study by management consultants Kearney Middle East of ten markets in the region, including the UAE and Saudi Arabia, revealed that up to 40 percent of Middle Eastern respondents are now shopping online more than they were before the coronavirus outbreak.
Wadi, one of the largest e-commerce providers in Saudi Arabia, has integrated what3words into its delivery process. People can now add a three-word address to the delivery information on their user profiles and receive their groceries at that precise location, instead of relying on descriptions and landmarks to say where they live.
Middle East problem
Founded in 2013, What3Words now has a team of over 120, with offices in the UK, USA, South Africa and Mongolia. What3words has a website, apps for iOS and Android, and an API that enables bidirectional conversion between what3words address and latitude/longitude coordinates.
The company's revenues comes from charging businesses for high-volume use of the API that converts between three words and coordinates; services for other users are free of charge.
"The UK postcode is very strong but in Dubai they don't have a proper system and you have to rely on verbal directions and the problem is even more pronounced in Saudi Arabia. Oman also has an address problem too. I'd argue that technically there is more of a need for the technology in the Middle East," said Marafie.
"If you are a pizza company and someone is providing a three word address, from that point you will receive the converted address coordinates and we charge," he said. "Instead of having to remember and speak an address into satnav, users can now just say three easy words like 'phone – card – lamp', it's a much better experience."
Growing awareness
In the UK, What3Words has found fame as an emergency services assistor. Its technology – which is accurate with a three metres by three metres square – enables lightning fast response times.
"This successful social use drove high awareness for us in the UK as it was covered extensively in the media. In the space of a week, we had almost a million downloads," said Marafie.
The next step in driving What3Word's success is growing global awareness, said the regional market lead.
Firas Marafie, What3Words market lead – Middle East.
"For someone to provide a three word address in the first place is they need to know about it," Marafie said.
"The goal is to partner with the large players because we want to get to a place where there is good user awareness; working with big partners is a good way to do that and establish credibility."
"We want to make using What3Words behaviorally accepted and common," said Marafie.
"We want to develop a global addressing standard, by building a unified addressing system that works and is consistent anywhere in the world."

As I've gotten older, I've started to take better care of my skin, my complexion, and just my overall self. I'm honest about the treatments I get done and I want to share one of my new favorites—it's called Xeomin® (incobotulinumtoxinA). You're probably thinking, "Huh, what is Xeomin?"—so let me explain. One of my issues with getting older are these two little lines that have developed in between my eyebrows. In medical terms, they're called 'glabellar frown lines'. Some people call them 'The 11's'.
In addition to getting older, I began to notice these lines when I saw myself on television. If you don't know, I was on season 4 of the E! television show "Rich Kids of Beverly Hills". Like many characters on reality shows, I happened to get into a few confrontations which escalated into very dramatic arguments. I happened to do a lot of this, especially in episode 7, which will forever haunt me on the internet.
As I watched myself arguing with one of my cast mates, I realized… Woah! I have a serious 'Angry Face'! When I make my infamous 'Angry Face' I have these two lines that form in between my eyebrows and seeing it on television made me really want to do something about it. I immediately set out to fix it.
After many nights on my computer googling "How to not look bad when angry" (which is clearly how I do all my research), I discovered that I should consider a neurotoxin injectable, and that's when I found out about Xeomin. Almost everyone on the planet has heard of Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA) and how it temporarily improves wrinkles.
Although neurotoxins have been around for a while, I wanted to try the latest option on the market, Xeomin.
My next step was to make an appointment. I called The Laser and Skin Surgery Center of New York and made my appointment with Dr. Jeremy Brauer. After reviewing my face and discussing my goals and concerns with Dr. Brauer, he told me that I was a perfect candidate for Xeomin.
The procedure went like this: The Dr. told me to squint really hard, or in my case 'Angry Episode 7, Season 4, Face', so he could see my lines. It was literally so quick and, for me personally, was completely painless. After the injections I didn't have any swelling or side effects, although some people might. Now, for me to say that it was completely painless is a big deal, I'm so afraid of needles that still, to this day, whenever I have to get a blood test, I ask for 'The "Butterfly" Needle', which is a needle they use on infants; Fact. I put some makeup on and looked completely normal—like nothing had happened. The Dr. told me my results should last at least 3 months, if not longer depending on my body and how often I make the 'Angry Face'. However, individual results may vary.
So far it has been a month since the procedure and I still love my results, I couldn't be happier. I have no idea why I didn't look into this sooner; it would have saved me a lot of embarrassing television moments. Now it's one of my best beauty treatments.
XEOMIN® (Zeo-min) is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults for a short period of time (temporary).
People with certain breathing problems may need to use muscles in their neck to help them breathe. These patients may be at greater risk for serious breathing problems with XEOMIN®.
Do not use XEOMIN if you are allergic to XEOMIN® or any of the ingredients in XEOMIN® (see the end of this Medication Guide for a list of ingredients in XEOMIN®), had an allergic reaction to any other botulinum toxin products such as rimabotulinumtoxinB (MYOBLOC®), onabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX®, BOTOX® COSMETIC), or abobotulinumtoxinA (DYSPORT®) or have a skin infection at the planned injection site.
XEOMIN is not recommended for use in children younger than 18 years of age.
Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions and all of the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins and herbal supplements. Using XEOMIN® with certain other medicines may cause serious side effects. Do not start any new medicines until you have told your doctor that you have received XEOMIN in the past.
eyelids, and dry eyes. Reduced blinking can also occur. Tell your doctor or get medical help right away if you have eye pain or irritation following treatment.

Your guide to shopping in Kerala
From Malabar gold to mirrors made of metal—here's everything you need to know about what to shop for and where

Saris & Mundus
Photo: Radhika Raj | Saris at Ramachandra Handloom
Kasavu, the typical Kerala-style sari, ranges from Mohiniyattam costumes to drapes seen in many of Raja Ravi Varma's artworks. The legend of kasavu dates to the mythical King Mahabali, who asked citizens to dress alike to easily identify invaders. Historically, the kasavu has been around since the Buddhist Era. By the late 18th century, kasavu-making became a full-blown handloom industry under the guidance of King Balarama Varma of Travancore. Witness the making of these saris at Balaramapuram, a town about 19km from Thiruvananthapuram, considered to be the hub of these handloom saris. While it takes five to seven days to weave a normal kasavu, the exquisite ones can take a few weeks. You can buy these saris directly from the weavers or anywhere in Kerala. In Kochi, Ramachandran Handlooms stocks products from its own looms in Balaramapuram. The ancestors of SP Ramachandran, the store's owner, used to weave saris and dhotis for the erstwhile royal family in the old kingdom. You can either buy fabric by the metre or readymade saris, set mundus and kavanis. Look up Kasavukada, which has been in the weaving trade for three generations. It offers traditional and modern designs in pure gold zari with peacock and paisley motifs. The store weaves saris on order and also has a range of kara and gold set mundus. The 1988-established The Weavers (0484 231 9669) is one of the earliest stores to sell saris made using traditional weaves from all over India. Its owners Bina Mathew and Thankam Mammen source weaves like Benarasi Kota, Kanchipuram, Chanderi and Maheshwari. In Kochi, Jayalakshmi Silks is a treasure trove for Kanchipuram, tussar and cotton-silk saris— all handpicked from master weavers across the country. With branches all over Kerala, the 1910-established Seematti is favoured for trousseau shopping for its range of embroidered saris in silk and crêpe. You'll also find mundus here.
The history of gold in Kerala goes back to the first millennium BC, when the Greeks bartered it with local Malayali traders for pepper. It was considered the ultimate symbol of power in society. Over the centuries, Kerala gold or Malabar gold, as it is known, has been on the list of must-haves of all jewellery aficionados. Take a trip to Thrissur—with over 700 outlets, it's here that 70 percent of Kerala's gold jewellery is crafted. Local jewellers on High Road are known for traditional pieces like the Kasu Mala, which is made of coins, or the temple-inspired, double-sided Mullamottu Mala. If you're in Kohzikode, head to the tiny district of Koduvally (22km away), whose 600m stretch is packed with more than 100 local jewellers. Kochi has multiple places—Alapatt Jewels' goldsmiths handcraft traditional designs in platinum, gold and silver. You'll also find a range of contemporary diamond jewellery and antique jhumkas. One of the most trusted names in Kochi's jewellery circuit is the 1925-established Bhima Jewellers, known for preserving as well as recreating antique and classic designs. Bhima sources contemporary jewels from all over India and also has bridal and fine silver collections. Other famous brands with stores across Kerala include Josco Jewellers, Malabar Gold & Diamonds and Kalyan Jewellers. If gold is not your style, then reach out to Valsa Joseph. Her brand Tanmaya (09847004728) is known for handcrafted polymer clay pieces that can be entirely personalised—from colour to finish.

Kerala has been at the heart of the spice trade and is still considered one of the best places for highquality, homegrown spices. Understand how it is traded at the International Pepper Exchange in Kochi. While the streets of Jew Town and Mattancherry are packed with stores, make a trip to the wholesale spice market located in Broadway, Ernakulam and in particular, to the Cochin Masala Store (0484 402 5960) to stock up. Remember to bargain as prices differ from shop to shop. The state-run Spices Board of India's outlet near Palarivattom is ideal for smaller quantities since they have fixed prices. In Kovalam, shop where the locals do—at the Chalai Market near Padmanabhaswamy Temple. Keep in mind that spices are best bought in small quantities and stored properly, as they lose flavour over time.
The British introduced tea to India in the 1820s, mainly for their own consumption. It was taken to the Nilgiris a decade later but large-scale commercial cultivation began in the hills of Wayanad and around only in 1889. Travel to Munnar to see the whole process, from plucking to packaging. Most leading Indian tea brands like Tata Tea and Brooke Bond source from the hills of this town. The most popular place to shop is Kanan Devan Hills Plantation, which sells the harvest from several local estates under one brand name. You can pick everything—from oolong, orthodox, organic and even, rose tea. For a farm-to-cup experience, shop at Kanniamalai and Gundumalai estates and choose the slightly expensive orthodox tea (it packs a punch). Tea lovers should also visit the Munnar Tea Museum (04868255000) in the Nullatanni Estate, and buy local brews.
It's no secret that every roadside stall in Kerala serves a great cup of coffee. But did you know that the Monsooned Malabar process this coffee goes through was actually the result of an accident? The story goes that a consignment for Europe absorbed moisture and ballooned to almost double the original size. But, surprisingly, this only made the beverage more flavourful. So, estate owners integrated this step into the coffee-making process, resulting in these beans being available across the Malabar region. Make a trip to Wayanad—70 percent of its farm area is covered in coffee plantations. Visit Riverine Coffee for premium Robusta and artisanal brews. In Idukki, stop at Spring Valley Coffee and Glenmary estates, and at Munnar's The Windermere Estate.

SEAN CARROLL DOES BK
BY ARTIST by bandsdobk January 24, 2020 June 29, 2020
Over beers and sake at Snacky, the artist—whose new single "Jealousy" is out today—shares his list of Brooklyn faves, featuring diner vibes, one James Brown-loaded jukebox and the most "soulfully gratifying" experience in Brooklyn
I'm glad we're here. Let me start by saying Snacky is a place that—how frequently have I been sober that I've been here?
We—when I say we, I mean myself—have probably never been here before the sun has set. I'm used to walkin' in here at like midnight, 12:30 or 1:00 or so, a little less than sober. And I love it, man. You walk in and it's like you're in some sort-of sci-fi, dystopian bar atmosphere. You walk in, there's little toys—look at that guy!—just these little things everywhere. They've got anime on the TV with no volume, they're playing vintage Jay-Z to accompany it. That guy behind the bar is laughing at me because I always order much. I'm like, listen, I know, that's what I am. What do you want me to tell you? It all looks so good. There's something very creatively satisfying about this place for me.
187 Grand St
George & Jack's Tap Room
Love George & Jack's. It's owned by the same people who own Skinny Dennis, Horses and Divorces, Do or Dive, Rocka Rolla—every place that I've spent way too much time, way too late at night.
The reason I love George & Jack's is, first of all, it's probably the most unpretentious drinking experience you can find, which in my opinion, is a dying art these days in Brooklyn. You know, I'm cool with everything being a scene, but George & Jack's is literally a bar with a popcorn machine in the back, they've got James Brown on the jukebox. By the way, I go in there and I just ruin everybody's night by playing 10 straight James Brown songs. Those people wanna hear Blondie, and only Blondie, which is cool. All I'm sayin is they've got two James Brown albums on the jukebox. I'm going to play as much James Brown in that bar as I can. So, I love that about it.
Darts Alley—me and Hayes [Peebles] call it Darts Alley. Hayes and I, in the last three months, have an almost unbelievable new love for playing darts. I want to say that I, and Hayes as well, am one of the worst darts players in the world, but George & Jack's has been the perfect place to hone my craft. You just go there, you throw darts around for a little while, drink a Miller High Life, eat some popcorn.
When I'm not in the mood to be in a bustling, youthful environment, I go listen to James Brown and throw darts at George & Jack's.

Tom's Diner
I want to add a little asterisk here. While I do love Tom's Diner, the reason I mentioned [it] is because it's reminiscent of every diner I've ever spent a 3 a.m. in—which, by the way, is a lot. Diners are very important to me. I would say pretty much every song I've ever written is somewhat derived from some way I've felt in a diner, or something that happened in a diner, exactly like Tom's.
I will do anything for a milkshake and fries, and there have been weeks where I've drank a milkshake every single day. Tom's is a beautiful, beautiful place where the milkshakes are a-flowin', the fries are great, but the reason I mentioned it is really because of just the importance of diners in general in my life. Someone once referred to my music as a diner, saying it's not that presentable, it's not that pretty, but it tastes so fuckin' good—and that's the greatest review I've ever gotten.
+ Bonus milkshake wisdom:
I go chocolate, but if I'm going to go anything other than that, it's coffee. The thing about black and white milkshakes, for the listeners at home: Everybody talks about black and white milkshakes, but what you're doing is you're minimizing the chocolate aspect and you're minimizing the vanilla aspect and creating some lukewarm version of both of those things. I love a vanilla milkshake, I more importantly love a chocolate milkshake, so just go for one of those, because the combination—it's just a waste of our time.

Paulie Gee's Slice Shop
In our two-square mile-town [Pelham], we have like 13 pizzerias and 20 nail salons—that's about it. That's pretty much the whole town. It's a good place, but those are really the two things we have going for us and, ya know, I was only using one of those things. But growing up there was fun. It really is assumed that you're going to have at least one slice of pizza a day. That is an absurd thing…
Paulie Gee's reminds me of those [places] in such a beautifully authentic way. You walk in, you've got the New York Yankees on the TV, they're yelling your name out on a way too muffle-y microphone…
You're gonna order the Hellboy slice and the regular slice, because you wanna do both, but in hindsight—while both are amazing—you're just gonna think, why didn't I just get two Hellboy slices? Because they're so good. Pro tip: Just get two Hellboys.
Yeah, I think it just brings me back to 11 years old, after a rec baseball game, going to Pelham Pizza, watching Mariano Rivera win the game for the Yankees. While New York is full of pizzerias, I miss that small-town you're-in-our-pizzeria kinda feeling a lot of the time, and Paulie Gee's Slice Shop fully provides that for me.

Sweetwater, at this point, I've been going to for the last four years, five years—ever since I moved into Williamsburg. Sweetwater is probably the most soulfully gratifying place for me in all of Brooklyn and in New York.
It's the place I go when it's raining. I sit at the bar at 5 pm, I have a French onion soup and fries and a beer. I have never left Sweetwater feeling worse than when I walked in. I feel like it fulfills this really… whatever's lacking in me on that rainy day—and I love the rain—but whatever's bringing me down, Sweetwater solves that with literally a French onion soup. And I happen to know at this point, having gone there every single week for the last four years, I happen to know the folks that work there in a way that really… I look forward to walking in those doors.
Sweetwater, I cannot say enough about how emotionally and soulfully restorative that place is for me. I strongly urge you to go there someday and sit at that bar, say hello to Patrick, and get yourself a French onion soup.
