Amazon Is Selling A Bracelet That Shocks You If You Eat Too Much Fast Food

If you're struggling to lose weight or save some money, this nifty little gadget could be the answer to your prayers.
Amazon is now selling the Pavlok bracelet that promises to help you sort your life out, whether your issue is spending too much time on the internet, biting your nails or oversleeping.
Basically, every time you step out of line, the strap will give you a 350-volt electric shock, just to give you a gentle reminder.
And to give you a bit more of an incentive to be good, your mates can even download an app which means they can give you a buzz if they catch you eating an extra slice of cake or going on a spending spree.
According to the manufacturer: "Pavlok allows you to speak your reptile brain's language by adding an unpleasant element (a safe and harmless 'zap' of electricity on your wrist) to what you have been taught to love (your nasty lingering habit), quickly conditioning your mind to associate an 'unpleasant' feeling with your bad habit... and stopping it all together."

Priced at $199 (£158), the Pavlok has 150 shocks per charge, so, depending how much of a rule breaker you are, it could last quite a while.
Speaking to ABC News, the inventor of the device said: "It feels like if you were to touch a doorknob after rubbing your socks on the carpet."
He added: "There's a real power in using a little bit of pain to help you break your bad habits."

So far, reviews of the device have been fairly mixed, with some claiming it's helped them change their bad habits, while others have criticised its quality.
One customer wrote: "Wrist band is a little awkward but it does allow for the contacts to be positioned closely to your skin for the best results. I've only used the button on the device to administer the shock.
"I can't comment on how the hand motion function works. The app is ok and does give some information and videos on how to beat whatever habit you're trying to break. At 100 percent on a decent charge it is more than enough of a zap to get your attention.
"I'm glad I bought it, so far I believe it is working. It's not going to cure a lifelong issue in a few days so you have to stick to their plan and really work on it."
The end is nigh.

B.C. Indigenous teen model to walk in major Australian fashion show
Jada Raphael of the Cook's Ferry Band will represent the Nlakapamux and Secwepemc Nations
Jan. 10, 2018 11:00 a.m.
Kamloops student Jada Raphael—who grew up in Spences Bridge and Ashcroft, and is a member of the Cook's Ferry Band—will soon be flying to Melbourne, Australia to take part in the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival as an Indigenous model.
Raphael—who turns 17 just before the festival in early March—has been modelling since she was 14, mostly in small shows where she wore clothing designed by her aunt, Nadine Spence. In 2015 she had an opportunity to model clothes alongside Ashley Callingbull from Alberta's Enoch Cree Nation, who in August 2015 became the first Canadian woman, and first Indigenous woman, to be crowned Miss Universe.
The opportunity came about because Raphael's mother, Cheryl Billy, contacted Callingbull prior to her appearance at TRU in Kamloops in October 2015. "It was a big show," says Raphael. "I got to meet a lot of Indigenous people."
Raphael was tagged in a Facebook post about the Melbourne fashion festival, and she applied online and sent in an application. "More than 1,000 people applied, and I was shocked and very emotional when I found out I'd been accepted." All the models are aged between 17 and 25, and the event is open for both beginners and professionals.
Raphael says there is a week of intensive training for all the models before the actual show. "The training is worth about $3,000, and will help me in the future. I don't have stage fright, and I'm not scared walking down the runway, so I think I'll be fine. I'm just scared of tripping." During the training, models cannot wear make-up or use hair products, and cannot show any body piercings. "They want to get to know us as natural people."
Billy says that the training is an elite program that will benefit her daughter and help in her runway future. Raphael confirms that modelling is a career she would like to pursue, but adds that the Melbourne festival will help her decide if that's what she wants to do.
She currently attends Valleyview High School in Kamloops, in order to take advantage of the varied sports opportunities available there.
"I'm really into sports, and am more of an athletic model," says Raphael, noting that she is involved in kickboxing, hockey, and rugby. "I won't stop doing these."
A request for sponsorships or donations to help defray the costs has already produced a sponsor for the flight to Melbourne and a donation to help with spending money, and Billy says they are still looking for sponsors.
"Modelling agencies will be looking at her for their shows, and we're looking for funding for these opportunities." She adds, however, that her daughter is remaining humble, and is willing to come back and speak to other youth about sports and how she got to where she is.
"My family has been very supportive," says Raphael. "I wouldn't be here without my mom, who taught me to stay humble and stay classy. And my grandmother, Shirley Raphael [who passed in January 2017], taught me so much. I wouldn't be here without her, either. I got quite emotional when I heard about the festival, and wished Grandma was here."
Raphael—who will be representing the Nlakapamux and Secwepemc Nations, as well as the Cook's Ferry Band, at the Melbourne festival—is keenly aware of her roots. "I'm proud of who I am." Billy notes that her daughter is a leader of her own already, something that is very empowering for the little ones.
"She was raised very intensely in regard to Nlakapamux rules and laws," says Billy. "She knows how to hunt and fish, and has done some drumming."
"I tried for my first buck this year," says Raphael, adding that it was too far away for her to be assured of a clean shot that would kill and not wound it. "I was taught to only hunt for food, and to honour the land and be respectful. I leave tobacco and sage to thank the fish for sustenance."
Looking ahead to March, Raphael says "I'm very excited; and the closer I get to it the more excited I get. There will be Indigenous people there from all over the world, representing different countries. I'm really looking forward to it, and to building my portfolio."
Says Billy, "It's amazing how her life has turned from just being Jada to being a global Indigenous model."
Anyone who would like to sponsor Raphael, or make a donation, can contact Cheryl Billy at (250) 571-9314, or email her at cbjrjb@hotmail.com.

It's generally only when its time to pack up and move house that the typical homeowner encounters large quantities of cardboard. In bicycle helmets and vacuum cleaners, however, we have seen some innovative applications for the material beyond its use as lightweight and durable packaging. Karton, a cardboard furniture company offering everything from beds to room dividers, takes a similar approach, yet aims to go beyond the novel and make its paper constructions a charming and practical part of your living solution.
While using recycled cardboard for the kinds of products mentioned above can be innovative and somewhat inspiring, to make them viable on a commercial scale is another matter. This is something Ralph Wollner, Director of the Karton Group, says distinguishes his company from other like-minded vendors of cardboard creations out there.
"There's a number of designers out there who produce one-off pieces," Wollner told Gizmag, "but for small production teams, it is difficult to create products that aren't expensive and still of high-quality."
With offices in Melbourne, Australia, Karton is an online-only store which keeps costs low by sourcing products by designers from all corners of the globe.
"We represent Stange Design, a German company who has been designing and producing cardboard furniture for 30 years," says Wollner. "Sourcing our furniture from here, along with firms in the Netherlands, New Zealand and the Middle East allows us to make our prices realistic."
Wollner's perception of "realistic" appears in step with that of his customers, with the company recently selling its 1,000th "Paperpedic Bed." Measuring 203 cm (79 in) in length and 30 cm (12 in) high, the bed is made from 100 percent recyclable cardboard and, according to the company, can be assembled within minutes.
"I think its attractive because it is versatile, different and challenges tradition," says Wollner of his number one seller.
Each piece of furniture is delivered as a flat-packed paper stack and can be put together without any tools or glue. In addition to the Paperpedic Bed, Karton's range include chests of drawers, TV units, room partitions and even cardboard animals that can be decorated and painted.
Though already boasting an extensive range, Wollner says Karton won't be resting on its laurels, with ideas to expand its offering already in the pipeline.
"In April, we'll be introducing 3D paper wall tiles which can be decorated and customized to create a feature wall," says Wollner. "In May, we'll be bringing in a system for hanging clothes and looking at other wardrobe solutions. We're always exploring possibilities for new products and new ideas."
You can get an idea of the Paperpedic Bed's strength in the video below.

"An absolutely delightful evening", "an excellent programme" and "splendid!", were just a few of the comments which were expressed on the evening and afternoon of Sabbath 21st and Sunday 22nd December, 2013, at Willesden Church.
These were from the captive audience comprising of family, friends and members of the local community, in response to 'A Christmas Cantata: From Son to Saviour', produced by Music Director Tina Brooks, and the children's production, 'The Magical Christmas Jigsaw', directed by Sabbath School Superintendent Cheryl Allen, which were held, respectively, during the weekend.
The story surrounding what many have described as being 'the most wonderful time of the year', unfolded amidst hymns and songs, such as 'O Come All Ye Faithful', 'Silent Night', 'Hark the Herald Angels Sing', 'Mary Did You Know, 'Give Him Your Heart' and 'Follow The Star'.
The 'reason for the season', which local Pastors Des Boldeau and Michael Mannix stated should always be remembered, was indeed the focus of the weekend.
This was resplendently highlighted and expressed by the children as they presented and completed their 'Magical Christmas Jigsaw'.

Pat Van Brunt
Patricia "Pat" Van Brunt passed away in her home surrounded by family and friends on May 13, 2013. She was preceded in death by her husband of 56 years, Lefty Van Brunt. Pat was born on February 28 in Atlantic, Iowa and after receiving her nursing degree moved to Seward, Alaska. There she met and married Lefty Van Brunt. "Pat" worked as an E.R. nurse at The Old Providence Hospital, the Community hospital and was an avid "Glacier Pilots" fan and along with Lefty, assisted the team in the office, at the games and helped by providing the players with "goodies" she made from home. During the baseball season, when not at the games, she always had her AM Radio tuned to the pilots' games.
She has requested that no memorial service be held and in lieu of flowers that donations be made to:

Lefty Van Brunt
Anchorage Daily News May 25th, 2011 Scott Woodham
One of the Alaska baseball community's biggest icons, Lefty Van Brunt, died Tuesday in Anchorage at 78. His loved ones' loss is also a generation's loss.
In his longtime coaching role in the Alaska Baseball League (one of the oldest non-tavern-related traditions in the state and one of the most prestigious wood-bat-only summer leagues in the nation), Lefty contributed to the careers of many very talented baseball players, plenty of whom went on to
have a future in the game, and others, like Mark McGuire and Randy Johnson, who went on to become superstars.
To many, many people, Lefty was an unrelentingly positive force during the full, glorious bloom of decades worth of Alaska summers, which, though short, are a sublime setting for baseball diamonds. The most important part of Lefty's Legacy, though, to me, and no doubt to many others in my generation, is what he did during the winter.
Each winter for decades, Lefty conducted free-and-open baseball skills workshops -- indoors -- to personally help every kid who wanted to get better at baseball and was willing to try. He didn't do it for money, either.
Over the course of many years, in leftover warehouse space given to him by SeaLand, Lefty affected the lives of several hundreds, if not thousands, of kids in the Anchorage area.
I was a SeaLand warehouse kid, as were most of my friends. Lefty would probably be embarrassed if he heard this, but his influence is one big reason I am who I am today, and I know I'm not alone. Not by a long shot. Because of him, to this day, I can still hit line drives to all fields; I can still make fielding a grounder and making the throw look like one tight, circular motion.
All of us warehouse kids were unfortunate enough to love baseball in Alaska, where marginally playable conditions usually never last longer than three months, not including rainouts, and where the peak season itself doesn't last more than five to eight weeks. We knew that baseball activities started for kids in lower latitudes much, much earlier than they did for us, and I suspect we all felt a little cheated about that. Lefty's warehouse sessions were our version of a baseball academy. They were absolutely essential for those of us who loved the game, and we were all lucky to have benefitted.
There's no way to overstate how important his work was to us, and there's no way to truly measure his impact on us, both as developing adults and ballplayers. Because of him, I know that passionate dedication to something outside myself is not a mistake.
But the warehouse sessions weren't about new-agey baseball mysticism, nor about keeping Alaska's youth from falling into the cycles of violence or substance abuse that saturate their society, nor even to provide them respite from less-than-ideal home environments. I was dealing with my own share of troubles in those days, but I never really felt like I knew Lefty, and I don't think he knew me. But together we knew baseball, and baseball always made things better.

Lefty probably figured out that his warehouse sessions served important secondary purposes for some of us, but he didn't let on if he did. His workshops weren't therapy sessions. They were first and foremost about baseball. Pure and simple baseball -- much, much purer than the drifts of snow piled outside under the orange-yellow glare of industrial floodlights.
Lefty was already growing old by the time I met him, but the game still looked so easy to him. He reduced baseball excellence to a repeatable set of flicks, snaps, and body alignments. Nice and easy. Now repeat them 20,000 times each. At least.
"Swing DOWN on the ball," he would say over and over again, to kid after kid, as we took cuts at a soft-toss machine inside a netted cage. "Don't break that wrist, keep it level."
"Chopping wood," I can still hear him say.
For almost four years of my adolescence, I spent at least two hours an evening, two or three times a week working with Lefty and lots of other kids from all over town. In that time, I played more catch, took more groundballs, took more batting practice, and made more friends from other leagues than I ever would have been able to otherwise. Kids from every league in Anchorage would show up, and I can't prove it, but I'm sure we got into less trouble on the field because of it.
More than a few of Lefty's warehouse kids went on to have careers in baseball, some in college or university, some even played at a professional level. Baseball never panned out for me as a career, but I knew it wouldn't. I'm certain Lefty himself knew it too. Baseball, for me, would never be more than an extremely fond set of memories and a few sets of motor skills that eventually became decent and permanent, but Lefty taught me with the same attention anyway.
I remember that sometimes, whether we kids were pitching or hitting or fielding, in groups or one-on-one, Lefty would blurt out, "Stop," and we'd freeze. Then he'd ask us, "Where's your balance?" He would reach over with his hand or a fungo bat and push slightly on a shoulder, back or chest. Some of us, usually the newcomers, would start to topple. We never knew when he'd tell us to freeze, so we just assumed he was always watching, waiting for balance to falter.
Lefty and the kind people who let him use the empty spaces around town (for my cohort, a SeaLand warehouse in the heart of Ship Creek's port industrial center), gave me something I will never forget. A big part of it was a chance to play baseball that I wouldn't have had, sure. But more than that, they gave me a measure of responsibility for myself -- and trusted me with it.
That responsibility was apparent to me when, probably my first year as a denizen of the warehouse, say, the winter of 1990-91, the place was full of new cars. For weeks, they sat unprotected, just feet from us slightly above where we played catch. I remember being terrified of making a bad throw, so I concentrated. For everyone's sake. None of us that I remember ever hit one of those cars. We knew if we horsed around and broke something, that would mean our place, Lefty's place, would, well ... Stop.
Where's my balance?
A huge piece of it feels missing right now. Lefty could push me over without even trying.

Notes from Jane's report from the February 2016 board meeting
Jane gave a presentation today on the February 2016 board meeting. Because there was only one scheduled presentation and it intersected with class time, a faculty member requested that Clerk's find somebody to take notes and share them. I found me. Here's my summary of Jane's presentation, which included an accompanying slide presentation.
Jane began by reading a poem by Wendell Berry titled What we need is here. Here is the text of the poem:
Geese appear high over us,
pass, and the sky closes. Abandon,
as in love or sleep, holds
them to their way, clear
in the ancient faith: what we need
is here. And we pray, not
for new earth or heaven, but to be
quiet in heart, and in eye,
clear. What we need is here.
Jane noted that it was particularly apt because it mentioned geese, of which we have an abundance at Guilford.
Jane said that although the challenges she's faced since coming to Guilford have been difficult, she has enjoyed the work, and that Guilford is now poised for a renaissance, with lots of signs of a turnaround in progress. She shared with us a set of accomplishments and developments that she also shared with the board. I've categorized them as she did below.
Academic advances:
Approved a new bachelor's program in cybertechnology and network security
Developing a new bachelor's program in user experience and design
Approved a new master's program in criminal justice
Approved a new bachelor's program in sustainable food systems
Jane pointed out that these are in development, but most can't be announced yet because they either require new staffing and resources or SACS-COC approval, and it would be unethical to advertise a program that was not ready to begin operation.
Strategic strides:
Website and marketing redesign is in the works
The Art and Science enrollment study is underway
The advancement division is being assessed and restructured
Ten strategic priority objectives in three areas have been identified, and the strategic planning oversight committee (SPOC) is working on details and metrics for these objectives
Renovation of Mary Hobbs with lots of alumna support. Jane said this could be a good model for future projects.
A gift of more than $300,000 to support the Friends Center
The adoption of a girl with significant health challenges by the women's lacrosse team
An unprecedented successful football season, with nominations for national honors
The many fine speakers in the Bryan Series. Jane said we need to use this resource in our recruiting and other efforts.
The Every Campus a Refuge program led by Diya Abdo, which has led to refugee family members staying on our campus, and which is spreading to 41 other colleges in the U.S. and Canada. Jane reported that Diya has also been contacted by federal agencies about broadening this kind of effort.
Stephanie Flamini's great basketball season, during which she reached a career 200 wins and was named the ODAC coach of the year.
Dennis Shore's great work with the softball team, reaching 200 career wins this year.
The Godspell production, which drew rave reviews.
Guilford being named in a list of the top 30 sustainable college farms. Jane pointed out that the farm is very successful within limited means, which makes it a good model for our efforts.
A new cooperative accelerated degree program with the Elon law school.
The "Degrees Matter" program for adult students
Early College at Guilford being named the #1 public high school in North Carolina
Then Jane went on to describe actions and deliberations undertaken by the Board during its February meeting. These were as follows:
Remembering alums Howard Coble '53 and Seth Macon '40
Expressing gratitude to Carole Hunter '63 for her work leading the Mary Hobbs renovation
Bringing the Vision for Excellence bridging campaign to an early close. The campaign raised a total of $9 million, which was positive but short of its goal. With the departure of Mike Poston and the potential restructuring of the advancement division, Jane and the board agreed that we would focus on general fundraising until new people and structures are in place.
Approving the freeze on tuition for 2016-17. For the first time in a long while, traditional student tuition will not increase next year, although there will be small changes in room, board, and fees to match increasing costs in those areas.
Jane then turned to issues of finance and enrollment. Jane described our situation as difficult but promising. Jane indicated that we had survived a $1.8 million budget deficit this year through a combination of $800,000 in spending cuts and the board's approval of borrowing $1 million against our line of credit to cover costs and to fund new initiatives to improve enrollment. Fall enrollment numbers look positive for traditional students but not for CCE enrollment. Jane cited our initiatives with community colleges, some of which have held special Guilford Days for recruiting. She indicated that all community members have a role in recruiting and retention.
She described her view of our recovery as U-shaped, not V-shaped, indicating that it might take us a while to change course to positive growth. Although there will need to be some budget cuts for 2016-17, she sees us as near the bottom, and anticipates recovery and renaissance possibly within two years. She said we would experience (she hopes) "one more hard year" before completing our turnaround. Recovery depends on new enrollment, retention, and transfers. It may be difficult, and that we're in for some more pain for the community next year, but she believes we are on the way to a brighter future. She said that the necessary cuts for next year should be clear by May or June of this year.
She also cited plans to restructure our debt, change our banking relationships, and borrow $20 million in new funds which would go to a variety of projects, perhaps most importantly to renovations in residence halls.
She indicated the compensation philosophy is on track and should be ready for when we have additional money to dedicate to salary increases.
The Board's Buildings and Grounds committee met and discussed several issues, although they did not take new action. They discussed how to handle a new property gift on Arcadia Drive, how to handle our $16.8 million in deferred maintenance projects (much of which would presumably be covered by the new borrowing), and how to deal with requirements for Title IX and ADA. They also discussed management issues for the Guilford woods.
Board members met with students from the Integrity for Guilford group which has produced a list of demands posted online and publicized in the Guilfordian. Jane described this meeting as a unique emotional interaction which was not easy for trustees or for students. She said that despite a challenging discussion, there was universal praise for the students, their courage, and their message.
There were also two student research presentations shared with the board, one in biology and one in community justice. Jane thought that one of them might have prompted a new $25,000 gift to support science research.
Jane shared with the Board and with the meeting today her strategic priorities for Guilford, which came in three areas with ten objectives. She said that work will continue on SPOC to report on and reach these objectives.
Jane said that trustees seemed pleasantly surprised by the news and strategies she had shared. Although there are difficult challenges, she said the board was impressed by the fact that there were specific positive strategies proposed to meet each of these challenges. Her message was that we will need time to fix our problems, that we need to stay the course, and that it was her belief that with hard work, a way will open for Guilford to complete its turnaround.
Finally, Jane announced that our commencement speaker for this year will be the Rev. William Barber II, an award-winning activist and member of leadership in the NAACP. He has led the Moral Monday movement in North Carolina. Jane said he was honored to be asked to speak by the college, and that we were honored to have him.
Jane closed the meeting by reading the poem from Wendell Berry again, and then observed a moment of silence.
There were two questions from the audience. One questioner asked if we would have trouble with our SACS-COC reaccreditation because of ongoing structural deficits and because of lower-than-average salaries in many positions. Jane responded that she thought SACS would not be concerned with the salary issue, but that the deficits could be problematic. She was hopeful that the steps we've taken and the plans we've made to address the deficits would satisfy SACS.
Another questioner asked if there would be clear benchmarks for progress on our goals, and if they would be available to the community. Jane responded that she intended to create a "dashboard" available to the college community, and perhaps to the public, where our progress on our many strategic objectives could be reported. She indicated that these would be color coded (red for problem areas, yellow for potential concerns, and green for met goals) for easy interpretation, with detailed information also available.
Parameters to consider in hiring
Clerk's committee has compiled the following list of parameters to consider in evaluating positions. These would apply both to tenure-track and non-tenure-track hiring. We have compiled these from our past practices and from comparison with those used at other schools.
What we'd like from you is:
Tell us whether the items on this list are appropriate. Are we missing anything we could consider? Is there something here which should not be here? Can you suggest different language or a different focus for a priority we have listed?
Tell us which of these parameters should be prioritized, and which should be given less weight or eliminated.
Here are the parameters we've come up with, listed in no particular order:
a) Existing or future staffing patterns, including a list and count of current faculty, history of class sizes, and ratios like student credit hours per faculty member and majors per faculty member
b) Current extent of reliance on adjuncts and visiting faculty to cover the program's curriculum
c) Enrollment trends over time, including number of majors and graduates
d) Departmental curricular needs (including general education courses provided by the department)
e) Consideration of the College Mission Statement and planning documents.
f) Personnel planning related to future retirements or possible departures of current faculty
g) Promotion of new programs approved by faculty
h) Recent departures or loss of program participants
Note: There will be no request for proposals for tenure-track hiring this year. Jane has decided that while we are in budget deficit, we cannot add people to potentially permanent positions. If your program has a need for additional teaching, please contact Beth about adding temporary positions to cover your needs.
UPDATE: We thought that last year's solicitation for proposals for tenure-track faculty hires might be of interest. It is here: Position Request Memo
Strategic Planning Priorities
The Strategic Planning committee would like to share with the community a set of ten planning priorities that it will use in its process over the next couple of years. These priorities come jointly from the Board of Trustees and President Fernandes, and they arose in part from the large community meeting the board held in Spring 2015.
AFFIRM the CENTRALITY of STUDENTS:
Increase enrollment
Invest in the student experience and assure student success
Develop dynamic learning opportunities
IMPROVE the CAMPUS EXPERIENCE:
Build a campus community that puts Guilford College first
Establish an equitable system for employee compensation
Update campus facilities
Create revenue-producing offerings
STRENGTHEN our STANDING among EXTERNAL CONSTITUENTS:
Re-imagine and modernize our offerings to the community
Advance Guilford College's public profile
Obtain reaffirmation of SACS accreditation by 2017
If you have any comments on these priorities, or recommendations for what we might do to serve them, please enter them below or contact any member of the Strategic Planning Committee. Faculty members of this committee are Nancy Daukas, Christine Stracey, Mark Dixon, Richard Schilhavy, Tom Guthrie, and Dave Dobson.

Top 10 Most Venomous Snakes on Earth
15 Weird and Crazy Laws Around the World
How Long Does Weed Stay In Your System?
9 Men Who Had More Wives Than Sense
Although monogamy may be the societal norm for many of us now, it hasn't always been and still isn't in many places across the globe. Many ancient societies and religions accepted polygamy as a part of life, with women being wed to the same man on a frequent basis. We thought we'd delve into the more offbeat side of marriage and love and concoct a list of histories' most married men.
Wise King Solomon, of biblical fame, apparently had seven hundred wives, as well as a further three hundred concubines – which is Bible-speak for mistresses. With 1000 women to pick from, it's surprising that the Bible only records one Naamah, the mother of Solomon's successor Rehoboam.
Fat'h Ali Shah Qajar
Not only did Fat'h Ali Shah Qajar have mad beard-growing skills, he was also a total ladies man. As the second King of Persia, he reigned for 37 years during which he managed to wed about 158 women. Ever single woman is listed in the book Tarikh-e Azodi written by Soltan Ahmad Mirza Azord-ed-Dowleh. Fat'h Ali Shah Qajar also found the time to father 260 children, who went on to give him 786 grandchildren.
Asentus Ogwella Akuku
Kenyan man Asentus Ogwella Akuku was married for the first time back in 1939 at the age of seventeen. After five years of assumedly blissful, exciting marriage, he decided to become a polygamist in 1944 and went on to marry more than 100 women. Ironically, Asentus Ogwella Akuku divorced 85 wives due to infidelity and twelve of his wives have died. Still, he has around 160 children and founded two elementary schools for them to be educated in. He died at the age of 94 in 2010, due to natural causes.
READ 15 Weird and Crazy Laws Around the World
Mohammed Bello Abubakar
Nigerian Islamist cleric Mohammed Bello Abubakar apparently managed to collect 86 wives and father 170 children throughout his lifetime, despite the fact many say Islam allows a man to take only four wives. Mohammed claimed that the Quran didn't actually say what the punishment for exceeding this number was so everything was fine, chill out. Islamic authorities disagreed and tried him before a Sharia court that ordered him to divorce 82 of his wives. After refusing, Mohammed was sentenced to death. Fortunately, he eventually conceded and got a mass divorce in September 2008.
Warren Steed Jeffs
Although most of Christianity is largely founded on the idea and principles of monogamy, there is an exception: The Church Of Latter Day Saints, whose followers are otherwise known as Mormons. Former president of the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints Church Warren Steed Jeffs very much agreed with the controversial topic of polygamy and is thought to have married 80 women, with whom he had 250 children.
In 2002, Warren succeeded his father Rulon Timpson Jeffs and married almost all of his father's widows, as one does. A few years later in 2007, Warren was forced to step down when the FBI declared him one their most wanted criminals due to charges of rape, polygamy, tax evasion and kidnapping. He was eventually caught, tried and sentenced to life in prison in 2007.
Rulon Timpson Jeffs
Yup, we're talking about Warren's daddy. Rulon Timpson Jeffs was alive from 1909 to 2002 and married a total of 75 women. Following his death he left behind 20 wives and 65 children.
READ 10 Most Poisonous Plants on Earth you Need to Stay Away From
Saleh al-Sayeri
Saudi Arabian businessman Saleh al-Sayeri was first married at the age of fourteen and has since married 58 women over a 50-year period. Saleh al-Sayeri is reported to have paid over $1.6 million in wedding expenses and divorce settlements as he divorces his fourth wife every year and gets a new one.
Presidents of The Church of Jesus Christ Latter-day Saints sure do get a lot of action. Brigham Young founded Salt Lake City and served as the first governor of the Utah Territory, as well as acting as President Mormon between 1847 and his death in 1877. Throughout his 76 years of life, Brigham managed to marry 55 women, 21 of which had never been married, 16 were widows, 6 were divorced and 6 had other husbands. Brigham fathered 56 children with 16 of his wives, however ten never reached adulthood.
Finally, of course we have to include the founder of the Church of Latter Day Saints, Joseph Smith. It's believed that ol' Smith married 34 women in his lifetime, with an age range of 14 to 60. For a while, Smith decided to keep his wives a secret, as it took a long time for his first wife to get into the whole 'plural marriages' thing Smith was preaching.

Siobhan Harmer
Siobhan Harmer is a video game, coffee and travel lover from England. Although she is the human equivalent of a sloth Siobhan sometimes writes things, most of which you can find on her blog There You Are Sibby.
Loraine Couturier
The text about Joseph Smith are all false accusations. He did not practice plural marriage since his wife did not allow it. Brigham Young truly practiced Plural Marriage as commanded by the Lord like the ancient Biblical Prophets Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and many others. For the others likeRulon Timpson Jeffs, and his son Warren Steed Jeffs arenot members of the RUE "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints". They are reformed Latter-day Saints which is not associated to the true LDS church.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its members practice pure monogamy. You can do a real research on the matter. These are not facts… Please do a real research. I am a full-bloodied Mormon and I am married and my husband and I are monogamous. Even with my parents, friends and members. The Fundamentalist Latter-day Saints is not associated with the True "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." These are all bunch of lies.
Joseph did have a large number of wife's

Perhaps it's because I only watched this recently, so it's still fresh in my mind, but The King's Speech was a delight — extremely well-made and well-acted. A classy film about a stammering monarch that is not only unusual but enjoyable because of its wonderful characters and humorous banter.
Big brownie points for the fact that I enjoyed this so much when at first the idea seemed so unappealing to me.
I've always been a fan of the Toy Story films even though I'm not the biggest animated film fan — but this one was a little bit of a surprise because I did not expect it to be so hilarious and genuinely moving.
Wonderful animation and sublime comedic writing combine in possibly the best film of the franchise and most probably the best animated film of the year.
Technically this 2009 Oscar winner (for best foreign film) falls within my 2010 net because it wasn't released in Australia until May 2010.
I know some critics are split on this film, but I was captivated by it. Skillful filmmaking and an intriguing plot that gave me chills throughout various moments. I will forever remember that long, single shot football stadium chase sequence — a scene that may have been improbable but still blew me away.
Another 'technically' a 2010 film as it was released in Australia in February 2010. As I saw it so long ago, this film is slowly starting to fade from memory, but I do remember the remarkably intense performance by Jeremy Renner and the fact that it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole way through. A film that was masterful in creating and sustaining tension, and one of the better war films in recent years.
I'm not sure if it was worthy of the Best Picture Oscar but it was certainly one of the best films of the year (whether this year or last).
Controversial choice for a controversial film. Creation received mixed reviews but I loved every minute of this Charles Darwin biopic.
It's neither an anti-religion nor anti-science movie, which is why it was so fascinating to me despite the slower pace. A haunting story that I found ultimately very touching.
Paul Bettany's cracker performance alongside his real life and film wife Jennifer Connelly took the film to a whole other level. The guy is simply amazing.
Another film that others might not rate as highly but I thoroughly enjoyed. Sean Penn and Naomi Watts were both brilliant in this Iraq war movie that highlighted the dangers of going up against your own government.
Maybe it was because of my interest in the whole WMD thing that made this true story so compelling to watch, but it was the human side of things helped make Fair Game one of the favourite films of the year.
Ahhh, the obligatory Aussie film in the top 10? No way — Animal Kingdom definitely deserves to be this high up. This was a film that I certainly did not expect to be this awesome — a 17 year old boy torn between loyalty to his gangster family and being terrified by them at the same time. Anchored by blistering performances from Jacki Weaver and Ben Mendelsohn, this was one heck of an adrenaline ride.
Full of tension, emotion and drama, Animal Kingdom is one of the best Australian film in years, possibly of all time.
Ben Affleck might not be able to act, but he certainly knows how to direct. The Town exceeded all expectations to become one of my favourite films of the year.
There's nothing particularly original about a film about bank robbers, but The Town stands out because of the terrific tension Affleck creates from his confident direction. The heist and car chase scenes are mind-blowingly good, and Jeremey Renner (again) gives a stunning performance as Affleck's hot-headed best friend. Even Gossip Girl's Blake Lively was fantastic.
I was riveted by this one from start to finish.
As far as dramas go, they don't get much better than The Social Network, an absolute classic for the Facebook generation.
To be honest, The Social Network could have been an absolute bomb, but thanks to the brilliant screenplay by Aaron Sorkin and the masterful direction by David Fincher, it ended being one of the best films of the year. Sorkin and Fincher brought out what made the whole Facebook thing so fascinating — the characters, the backstabbing, the jealousy, the insecurities — sure they may have taken liberties with the truth, but the end result is a film for the ages.
It pained me to put this at number two because it was so good. However, only one film blew me away even more.
What else can I say? Christopher Nolan is a genius. Apart from The Social Network, this was the only film I saw twice in 2010. And it was just as good the second time around.
Some people may not be as impressed as I was by this innovative, highly intelligent, visually arresting action-packed thriller — but seriously, who else could have pulled off something as ambitious as this film, as complex as this film, as long as this film (142 minutes) — and still make it so entertaining, thought-provoking and fun to watch?
Inception is a memorable masterpiece, and in a year of pretty good cinema, the best film of them all.
That's that. What do you think? Agree? Disagree? What would be your top 10?
Coming up next, the 10 Worst Films of 2010!
Ah, and the top ten lists start to role out. Mine will be a little late as there's still a couple in theaters I would like to see. But I certainly agree with your top 2. not so much your number 3; a fine film, but why did you find it outstanding enough to be so high?
Not sure — a lot of people have asked me why I think The Town is such a great film. I dunno, I just really liked it. I thought it was a powerful film with some terrific action sequences and really tense dramatic scenes. I suppose I also have a soft spot for bank heist films, which might explain it a bit more.

New Paths to Walk, News from the Planets.
What monumental times we are living in! May 27th, 2010 marked a pivotal astrological occurrence where the planet Uranus (which represents huge breakthroughs and quick massive change) moved out of the tender energies of Pisces where it has been for 7 years, and into the powerful and fiery energies of Aries.
I love this quote... because love is who you are! When we attach to love we are seeking it outside of ourselves, and that becomes something other than love.
Seek to be of highest vibe of love and attraction becomes effortless... you become the good and joy that you desire.
"You are safe, and there is nothing to worry about"
"Infuse your ceremonies with guidance, wisdom and protection."
What's Next On My Reading List?
"The most beautiful things are those that madness prompts and reason writes."
Releasing Resentment -- on purpose!!!
"Remember when you were a child and how magical the world would seem"
A few years ago, I watched the movie, 'The Secret,' for the first time. I was drawn to the message in a powerful way. I could instantly see how the Law of Attraction had worked in my own life, and how I was responsible for the direction my life had taken. Before then I was in the habit of blaming others for the misfortune in my life, but like being hit by a brick, I could see that my thought process had been responsible for everything.
"Family, be it spiritual family or genetic family, are a gift to be treasured and nurtured."
You know what-today I'm just not feelin it..
I feel tired and listless- after a huge Lightworkers full moon ceremony last night I was vibrating so high I couldn't sleeeeep.. ALLLLL NIIIGGGHHHTTT tick tick tick.. NO SLEEP..
Have you ever considered becoming... a Life Coach?
Life coaching is a true dream job.
Yes, life coaching is a VERY special career!
Well when we talk of clearing I surely had a powerful physical clearing in the form of stomach flu.. bedridden for a few days!!
Actually I would say it was a way of clearing that now allows me to be physically prepared for the increasing higher vibrations of Shakhina I have begun working with.

Currently using the olympus OMD EM-1. I am still learning photography on a daily basis, what makes a good image and what doesn't. I simply adore diving and would rather be underwater than working my 9 to 5. I have dove in most places of the Caribbean and now am diving the Philippines when I have enough time off to do so.


Sally Hansen claims its newest nail hardener combines "real 18-carat gold", with other ingredients known to promote healthy nail growth. Given it costs just €9.99, it's unlikely to contain much real gold, but don't let that dissuade you! This polish gives a lovely shiny hue with just the slightest hint of a gold sparkle. It dried within 60 seconds, and created healthy and luminous-looking nails. Because this can be applied on its own, as well as under or over your nail polish, it represents a good buy. Available at pharmacies nationwide.

Bookkeeping is fundamental to the success of any enterprise, big or small. It provides a systematic record of your company's financial transactions, from sales and investments to expenses and payroll, and, done properly, it can help your business thrive. In this article, we'll demonstrate how sound bookkeeping practices can increase productivity, satisfy compliance and even help you plan for the future.
Organisation: Without accurate bookkeeping, things like paying bills, chasing debtors, preparing year-end accounts and producing detailed reports for key stakeholders can prove challenging and time-consuming. By keeping meticulous financial records you'll save yourself time and money, maximise your profits and increase productivity.
Taxation: Without appropriate bookkeeping, it can be extremely difficult to file an accurate tax return. This could result in your business paying too much tax, which could affect your company's overall cash flow, or paying too little, which could lead to costly penalties. Without the correct oversight, you could also miss out on valuable tax breaks. By maintaining good bookkeeping practices throughout the financial year you'll be able to fulfil your obligations to HMRC and ensure you never pay a penny more in tax than you need to.
Cash flow: Every successful enterprise needs to maintain a healthy cash flow in order to pay staff and suppliers, as well as rent and other essential operating costs. Failure to meet these obligations could seriously affect the stability of your business, leading to dwindling profits and, in extreme cases, closure. With good bookkeeping you can continuously analyse the finances of your business, keeping a healthy cash flow and ensuring you have a little put away for a rainy day.
By keeping a comprehensive record of your company's finances, you'll be able to set realistic budgets to cover things like advertising, marketing and recruitment costs. Sound bookkeeping practices will also enable you to build some flexibility into your budgets, allowing for financial fluctuations throughout the year, and ensuring you don't overspend.
With comprehensive bookkeeping you'll be able to produce accurate financial forecasts, allowing you to set achievable goals and make informed decisions about the future of your business.
You're much more likely to qualify for a loan or a company credit card if you can produce detailed financial information. So, if you're seeking an injection of cash from your bank or building society, an accurate set of accounts is an absolute must.
If you're looking for investment, it's imperative that your books are in good order. Potential investors are likely to request financial data before making a decision, and the ability to produce accurate, measurable financial information could make or break any potential deal.
When you're running a small business, you don't always have the time or the know-how to maintain good bookkeeping practices throughout the financial year. You may not be able to afford to hire a bookkeeper full-time, and things like dealing with invoices, recording expenses and preparing year-end accounts can be difficult and time-consuming. Here, at Wisteria, we offer a number of bookkeeping services for small businesses. We can provide the tools and the knowledge you need to simplify your accounting processes, saving you time and money and giving you the peace of mind that your finances are in safe hands. So, whether you're just starting out, or you've been running a small business for a number of years, we can help you streamline your operation, maximise investment opportunities and improve your bottom line.

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF TEXAS
════════════
Gilbert H. Olveda and Brendalee Olveda-North, Individually and as Representatives of the Estate of Frieda Hernandez, Deceased, Petitioners,
Rene A. Sepulveda, M.D., Respondent
════════════════════════════════════════════════════
On Petition for Review from the
Court of Appeals for the Fourth District of Texas
Justice O'Neill, dissenting.
The court of appeals held that the expert report filed in this case was insufficient to allow the plaintiffs' survivorship and wrongful-death claims to proceed under former Article 4590i, the Texas Medical Liability and Insurance Improvement Act ("MLIIA"). 141 S.W.3d 679. Because I believe the report was sufficient to support the survivorship claim, I dissent from the Court's denial of the plaintiffs' petition for review.
Frieda Hernandez was seven-and-a-half months pregnant and complaining of severe abdominal pain when she checked in to St. Luke's Hospital. Dr. Kuhl, an obstetrician, Dr. Sepulveda, a urologist, and Dr. Ramirez, an anesthesiologist, treated her during her hospitalization. Kuhl, assisted by Sepulveda and Ramirez, performed a cystoscopy (placement of a ureteral stent to relieve kidney obstruction) without electronic fetal monitoring. Hernandez's baby died during the procedure and was later delivered by caesarian section. Shortly thereafter, Hernandez suffered a cardiac arrest, and died three days later from multiple organ failure caused by preeclampsia and HELLP Syndrome.
The Olvedas, Hernandez's children, sued the health-care providers for survivorship and wrongful-death damages, alleging that had the doctors complied with the standard of care, they would have diagnosed and treated Hernandez's condition in time to save her and her baby. The Olvedas filed an expert report prepared by Dr. Suresh, an obstetric anesthesiologist, which addressed Sepulveda's alleged negligence. Sepulveda filed a motion to dismiss, arguing that Dr. Suresh was not a qualified expert under former Article 4590i.
The trial court dismissed the claims against Sepulveda and granted his motion to sever. A divided court of appeals affirmed, holding that Dr. Suresh, an anesthesiologist, was not qualified to testify about the standard of care applicable to urologists, and that in any event the expert report failed to establish a causal relation between the alleged breach of the standard of care and the injury. 141 S.W.3d at 683. The Olvedas petitioned this Court for review.
Section 13.01 of former article 4590i requires plaintiffs in suits involving health-care-liability claims to submit an expert report. Act of May 5, 1995, 74th Leg., R.S., ch. 140, § 13.01, 1995 Tex. Gen. Laws 985, 986 (former Tex. Rev. Civ. Stat. art. 4590i, § 13.01), repealed by Act of June 2, 2003, 78th Leg., R.S., ch. 204, § 10.09, 2003 Tex. Gen. Laws 847, 884. Rule 702 of the Texas Rules of Evidence requires that an expert be qualified "by knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education" regarding the issue. Tex. R. Evid. 702. The MLIIA requires an expert who:
(1) is practicing medicine at the time such testimony is given or was practicing medicine at the time the claim arose;
(2) has knowledge of accepted standards of medical care for the diagnosis, care, or treatment of the illness, injury, or condition involved in the claim; and
(3) is qualified on the basis of training or experience to offer an expert opinion regarding those accepted standards of medical care.
Act of May 5, 1995, 77th Leg., R.S., ch. 140, § 14.01(a), 1995 Tex. Gen. Laws 985, 988 (repealed 2003). We held in Broders v. Heise, that "an expert of a different school [may] testify so long as the 'subject of inquiry is common to and equally recognized and developed' in both fields." 924 S.W.2d 148, 152 (Tex. 1996) (quoting Hart v. Van Zandt, 399 S.W.2d 791, 797 (Tex. 1965)); see also Roberts v. Williamson, 111 S.W.3d 113, 120-21 (Tex. 2003) (reiterating that an expert demonstrate "knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education" to testify regarding the specific issue before the court). In the medical context, "[t]here are certain standards universally regarded as ordinary medical standards beneath which no common or community standards may fall." Reed v. Granbury Hosp. Corp., 117 S.W.3d 404, 409 (Tex. App.—Ft. Worth 2003, no pet.) (citing Webb v. Jorns, 488 S.W.2d 407, 411 (Tex. 1972)). These standards apply across multiple schools of practice and to any physician. Id.
Dr. Suresh is a board-certified anesthesiologist. She has been in practice for thirty-five years as an obstetric anesthesiologist, has won awards for her obstetrical research, and holds tenured professorships at Baylor and the University of Texas Medical Schools. Dr. Suresh's report states in part:
On reviewing the records, there was no evidence of documentation of history and physical examination, assessment or plan of action by Dr. Sepulveda. A reasonable expectation of any physician/surgeon who is planning a nonobstetric operative procedure on a parturient in the third trimester is to evaluate, assess and document a history, physical examination, and rationalize the plan of action. Further it is the responsibility of all physicians involved in the intraoperative care of the parturient to ensure both maternal and fetal well being during the entire intraoperative procedure.
Dr. Suresh did not address the standard of care particularly applicable to Dr. Sepulveda's specialty, urology; rather, she addressed the general standard of care applicable to all physicians and surgeons performing a procedure on a patient in the third trimester of pregnancy. She was therefore properly qualified as an expert in this case.
Dr. Suresh's report also met the MLIIA's requirement that the report set forth "the manner in which the care . . . failed to meet the standards, and the causal relationship between that failure and the injury, harm, or damages claimed." Act of May 5, 1995, 74th Leg., R.S., ch. 140, § 13.01(r)(6), 1995 Tex. Gen. Laws 985, 986 (repealed 2003). An expert report "need not marshal all the plaintiff's proof," but must represent "a good-faith effort to comply with the statutory definition of an expert report" in the MLIIA. Bowie Mem'l Hosp. v. Wright, 79 S.W.3d 48, 52 (Tex. 2002) (citations omitted). A good-faith effort must (1) inform the defendant of the specific conduct called into question, and (2) provide a basis for the trial court to conclude that the claims have merit. Am. Transitional Care Ctrs. of Tex., Inc. v. Palacios, 46 S.W.3d 873, 879 (Tex. 2001). The expert report provided in part:
In a parturient patient who is in the third trimester, having contractions q 3-5 minutes with fetal decelerations, the standard of care would have been to monitor uterine contractions and have continuous recording of [the fetal heart rate] by a qualified individual during the perianesthetic and perioperative period and to have arrangements for a stat ceserian section if the need arose.
[I]t is the responsibility of all physicians involved in the intraoperative care of the parturient to ensure both maternal and fetal well being during the entire intraoperative procedure.
Further failure on the part of Dr. Kuhl, Dr. Ramirez, and Dr. Sepulveda to appropriately monitor the uterine contractions and the [fetal heart rate] resulted in adverse fetal outcome.
Although this report establishes no causal connection between Sepulveda's conduct and Hernandez's death from preeclampsia and HELLP Syndrome, it is not similarly deficient with respect to the survival action. The expert's report identifies how Sepulveda's conduct failed to meet the applicable standard of care and purports to connect that conduct to the baby's death, stating that Dr. Sepulveda's failure to monitor uterine contractions and the fetal heart rate resulted in the baby's death. I would conclude that the report was sufficient under the MLIIA to support the survival action, and accordingly dissent from the Court's denial of the plaintiffs' petition.

OPINION DELIVERED: March 3, 2006


Close to the charming town of Montecasaro and within easy reach of the sea, beautiful restored 5 bed villa with 2 bed annex, pool and garden.
Le Marche Villa. In a private location in the luxuriant countryside of Le Marche, this wonderful property is close to Montecosaro, a small, friendly, lively town where there are cultural events and wine tastings throughout the year. The larger towns of Civitanova Marche on the coast and Macerata are within easy reach.
The property comprises a main villa of 300 sqm with a 30 sqm portico. In addition, the property includes an independent annex of 74 sqm with a 30 sqm portico. There is also 5,000 sqm of landscaped garden with a beautiful panoramic pool. There is the option to purchase an additional 7 hectares of land.
The property was carefully restored in 2011 retaining the original features typical of Le Marche farmhouses. Bricks have been cleaned and reused. Internally there are exposed wood beams, red window frames and the warm colours on the walls. Each bedroom is unique and the bathrooms each feature a distinctive original element as a stone or iron basin or an old barn door.
The property is currently used as a B&B but could easily be returned to a single dwelling.
The property complies with anti seismic regulations.
Ground Floor: Owners' apartment with main entrance, large, open plan living room with fireplace and French windows leading out to the portico, spacious kitchen, master bedroom (adapted for disability) with en-suite bathroom and walk in wardrobe.
A 3rd entrance provides access to a room currently used as a reception room for the guests of the B&B (could be used as a study), laundry room and the staircase, leading to the first floor.
In order to guarantee maximum privacy to the guests sleeping upstairs, the staircase has been closed with a door. The house could be easily returned to a single dwelling by its removal.
First Floor: Accessed internally or via an external staircase, 4 spacious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and panoramic views.
Ground floor: 2 large bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms (one adapted for disability).
Surrounded by a 5,000 sqm mature garden planted with maritime pines, roses, lavender and other herbs.
In front of the main house and visible from the annex, there is the 6x12m swimming pool with roman steps, overlooking the countryside and the medieval town of Montecosaro.
It would be possible to buy an additional 7 hectares of land, including a 1 hectare vineyard, a plot of land for an olive grove and about 6 hectares arable land.
700 m of well maintained, partly private road with electric gates, directly connected to the main road, Strada Provincale.
In the main house, all rooms, there is an underfloor heating. All bedrooms are also equipped with air-con.

It was established as a Mindolo campus in 1961 following the decision to transfer the theological training from Kashinda Mission, Mporokoso in Northern Province.

As the world of aesthetics advances, newer techniques and products are developed keeping us looking younger more naturally. We have moved away from extreme procedures with long down times and favor those interventions that reflect subtle but substantial improvement. Rather than removing every wrinkle or fixing all folds, many specialists look to repair the underlying cause, the real reason that a jawline is sagging or the eyes are looking hollow. This is where fillers come into play and how I like best to apply them.
Fillers have been around since the 1970s and continue to become more sophisticated. Where we once only had Bovine Collagen (Zyderm and Zyplast), thin products lasting only three months, we now have products that last 1-5 years, are non-allergenic, and are dynamic (they move as the face makes expression, so that a patient doesn't have a "stiff" plasticized look).
Our thought processes as, Dermatologic Surgeons, have evolved as well. Early-on, the general consensus was to obliterate or "fill" every wrinkle or fold in the skin. That thinking has changed, as a full face with no lines doesn't necessarily equate with a younger, more attractive face. Contemporary thinking addresses the underlying cause of aging: the loss of volume that occurs from receding underlying bone structure, fat, and collagen. Now we understand that a heavier jawline and folds between the nose and the mouth are due to loss of underlying support structure for the overlying skin. If we can rebuild structure to a younger contour, we will restore a more youthful and not-overdone appearance.
Contouring faces is not a skill learned overnight; it takes years of evolution on the part of the provider. The most important component of your treatment is not whether Restylane, Juvederm, or Radiesse is used; rather, it is the technical ability and discerning eye of your Dermatologic Surgeon.
I have an art background and was a formally-trained clothing designer before medical school. Along the way, these interests have continued as hobbies: painting oils and watercolors, creating elaborate Halloween costumes for my children, and when unable to find the right outfit, well I just make it myself. All of this aesthetic training has culminated in precise technical skill and the ability to visualize a beautiful result: traits I have now honed for 20 years and am beginning to realize I am known for.
When a patient comes to me for enhancement, I look at the overall face for balance and symmetry. I evaluate for outstanding features and determine how to best accentuate them. Identifying the best feature and working from that leads to my avoiding a cloned look; I try to avoid generically pretty/handsome. Each individual is unique, and I enjoy the creative challenge of determining how to bring out that person's individual beauty. Sometimes I find that the best approach is to do a small amount of product in a few different areas of the face. You would be amazed at how much a tenth of a syringe of filler can do if artfully and expertly placed. Other times, the best approach is restructuring one area, in particular. Often, this is an intuitive process for me.
Working on men requires a separate thought process, as men tend towards a more masculine structure, and I want to maintain that. It is important that your physician knows the difference between what makes a face masculine as opposed to feminine.
I have also been known, both at the University of Colorado and also here in the Springs, to correct or bring into balance work done by other providers and I am happy to consult with you in this regard.If you see someone overdone in my office waiting room, don't judge; I may be fixing something done elsewhere.
My techniques have been taught to University of Colorado Dermatology residents and for the past four years, I have been their lead instructor in Aesthetic Dermatology. I teach my individual approach to these young Dermatologists, help them identify nuances of an attractive face, and hold their hands while they get comfortable with fillers.
I am more than at-home working in the enhancement arena, as at this point, it's second nature. Come talk to me; tell me your concerns! Together we will come up with a solution you are sure to love.


Northern Georgia has been a big draw for mountain bikers for years, and we at BRO want to make sure you know the top 7 trails not to miss while traveling through the area.
A three-mile intermediate trail, Moss Creek is home to some great singletrack. Smooth and flowy, this trail features more than 400 feet of elevation gain. Moss Creek continuously mixes things up, as there are climbs and descents, tight turns and switchbacks, and varied scenery.
This intermediate trail is a 10-mile singletrack loop, with a 4,700' elevation gain. This loop is part of the Pinhoti trail and is primarily ridden downhill. There are a few creek crossings and the trail overall is fast and flowy. The highlight of this loop is the Gannet Poplar, a giant poplar with a girth as wide as 6 adult wingspans.
This advanced trail includes 10-miles of out and back singletrack with 2,100' of gain. It is extremely difficult and and includes some bombing descents. Be prepared for some chunky downhill, and tricky ascents that require a significant amount of lung power.
Transformed from an old logging road, this advanced singletrack trail is 5 miles long with 3,000' gain. An out and back trail, Mountaintown Creek features a lot of backcountry riding. Bikers should be prepared to get wet and and a tad torn up. But one of the best descents in North Georgia makes it all worth while. Note: The trail has several great views of waterfalls along the way, so be sure to keep an eye out as you zoom along.

Hi I am new to machine embroidery. I your opinion, What is the best stabilizer to use? Should you use different ones for diff fabric?
Hi Kiki, yes, you do use different stabilizers for different fabrics, and also for different types of designs. What kind of machine do you have? There are yahoo groups for every kind of machine out there. Just go to www.yahoo.com, click on groups, and type in your type of machine.
You use different stabilizers for different fabrics and embroideries.
Sticky for t-shirts and fabric that shifts or you don't want marks on. Then I always add to that. I prefer med-hvy cutaway and polymesh. It all depends on what you're doing...Embroidery Machine Essentials by Twigg is a good book to have if you're new to machine embrodiery. Also ask at your local sewing/quilting shop. They're always happy to help.
I learned a secret form the gal I bought my machine from. Always use three layers of stabilizer on every project. One in the hoop, then slide two layer more up under the hoop after inserting it into the machine. It makes a big difference.
