Vernon Davis is a former American football tight end. The 15-year NFL veteran was selected by the San Francisco 49ers sixth overall in the 2006 NFL Draft and played his first 10 seasons with the 49ers. He landed with the Denver Broncos in 2015 during their Super Bowl 50 run. He later joined his hometown team, the Washington Redskins, in 2016 and spent four seasons there before retiring after the 2019-2020 season.
Vernon was recently seen as one of the celebrity contestants on the Dancing With The Stars which aired last fall on ABC.
Off the field, Vernon is a budding entrepreneur, dedicated philanthropist and actor.
Vernon owns multiple Jamba Juice franchises and he also has his very own supplement company, Timeless.
Navigating the business world is only a portion of his off-the-field endeavors. Vernon created the Vernon Davis Foundation for the Arts as a way to promote art education and art appreciation among youth from disadvantaged backgrounds. Just last year, VDFA evolved into the Vernon Davis Foundation, which services at-risk youth of all interests and demographics.
Even during his playing days, Vernon had his eyes on an acting career. He has already appeared in such blockbuster movies such as "Baywatch" which starred Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron, as well as "Hell on the Border" a movie about the first black deputy marshal west of the Mississippi.
His latest acting role is the lead in the upcoming thriller "Red Winter."
Vernon is also exercising his producing skills and has also founded not one, but two production companies, Reel 85 and Between the Lines Productions.

Minor damage to Lambeau turf from weekend concert
By Don Walker of the Journal Sentinel
There was minor damage to the Lambeau Field turf from last Saturday's Kenny Chesney concert, a team spokesman said Wednesday.
The damaged area was along the players tunnel and in the south end-zone area, according to Aaron Popkey, a team spokesman. The stage was set up in the south end-zone area.
The Green Bay Packers employ a system called DD GrassMaster, a natural-grass surface reinforced with man-made fibers.
Popkey said the grounds crew had already aerated and reseeded the problem areas.
The Packers as well as the Green Bay/Brown County Professional Football Stadium District have been looking at ways to generate more revenue. The Chesney concert, which drew more than 45,000 fans, was a huge success for the facility and the local tourism industry.

Repairing the World, Charm City-Style
by Haydee M. Rodriguez | Sep 23, 2016 | Community, Local, ONLINE ONLY
"GSD" – the acronym for "getting stuff done" – is the mantra of Repair the World, a national nonprofit organization that aims to connect Jewish millennials to community organizing and service opportunities in Baltimore, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Detroit.
The group held an open house workshop on Sept. 7 at its headquarters at 3700 Eastern Ave. in Highlandtown. Between 40-50 people attended the event.
The open house marked the organizational reopening of Repair the World Baltimore after a yearlong reassessment of the group's objectives and mission.
The Repair the World Baltimore group is spearheaded by a pair of Charm City natives, Josh Sherman and Diana Goldsmith. The group is a joint initiative of Repair the World and Jewish Volunteer Connection, an agency of The Associated: Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore.
Among the organizations that partner with Repair the World Baltimore are Charm City Tribe, Moishe House, Jews United for Justice, IMPACT (the young adult division of The Associated), BAYITT (Beth Am's Young Adult Initiative for 20s and 30s), and JHeritage.
"I grew up in Baltimore, attended Krieger Schechter Day School and Baltimore City College High School, so this is a terrific opportunity for me to work in and serve the city where I grew up," Sherman said of Repair the World, which launched in 2013.
He characterized Repair the World as "a hyper-inclusive organization."
Goldsmith, who graduated from Towson University last December, spoke at the workshop about "ethical volunteering." She said that listening to a community about its needs before volunteering is critical to service.
"We want to make Baltimore a better place, to ensure that everyone has access to education and to quality, nutritious food," she said.
Maital Friedman, senior program director for Repair the World in New York, said at the workshop that she was impressed with the partnerships formed by the Baltimore group.
"We are excited to see this space come alive again, and we look forward to addressing a wide range of issues," she said. "We are thrilled with the turnout, the energy, and with our partners."
JVC Assistant Director Erica Bloom strongly agreed.
"I am super-excited about this partnership," she told workshop participants. "Both our missions are aligned, and we are thus able to meet the needs of the community and meet you, the millennials, joining our efforts, where you are to better meet those needs.
"This includes training volunteers so that all volunteer experiences are effective, helping to build community and enjoying the contagious energy."
Two key issues driving Repair the World Baltimore include educational equality and food justice. The partnership between Repair the World Baltimore and JVC aims to "engage 1,000 individuals over the course of the year in service programming, with the hope that the volunteer work builds the capacity of our partners to achieve their mission," said Bloom.
Taylor Stewart, regional director of the group Baltimore at Leadership for Educational Equity, attended the workshop as a representative of Baltimoreans for Educational Equity. She praised the work of Repair the World Baltimore and its partners.
"BEE brings community organizing practices so that more people have a voice at the city and state levels," Stewart said. "A few years ago, Repair the World came down to Annapolis to support our efforts. They are great partners, and we want to make sure we continue this relationship."
Beth Land Hecht, senior manager of community engagement at Jewish Community Services, said she was inspired by the workshop and its participants.
"Hope," she responded when asked her takeaway from the gathering. "The members of this generation are very inspiring. They are looking for meaning and purpose. We have to engage them if we are to continue evolving."
In addition to service opportunities with its community partners, Repair the World Baltimore will host events, service programs and Shabbat dinners. The latter will offer an opportunity to reflect on issues focused on social justice, while sharing a traditional Jewish-themed meal at its Eastern Avenue location.
Repair the World Baltimore will host a Shabbat dinner on Oct. 21 from 7-9 p .m. at its headquarters. The event will be part of the group's High Holiday Food Justice Campaign.

Q: Python if statement issue (Totally new to programming) i want to make a converter for SGD to USD but im stuck at if statement . it just didnt recognize the input(). im learning so my code might be really stupid, sorry in advance aite.
def converter(scal):

    return scal * 1.33504

print('Welcome to Smurk Converter ')
print('Press 1 to convert SGD to USD :')
choice = input()

if choice == 1:
    print('Amount of money you want to convert: $')

    print(converter(his_amount))

else:
    print('Wrong Input, just enter either 1 or 2')

Please help, thanks.

A: If you use input, it will always be a string, so what you need to change is the following code
choice = input()

to
choice = int(input())

Also, one more line of code you need to change is the following
amount = input()

to
amount = float(input())

Home / International / Banking on the blueline: Preds sign Mattias Ekholm
Banking on the blueline: Preds sign Mattias Ekholm
By Sarah Fuqua
One thing's for sure: the Predators are not a team short on defense. Throughout the league they are renowned and praised for their defensive handiwork, particularly that of Norris Trophy nominee Shea Weber and real American hero Ryan Suter. Milwaukee is crawling with skilled young d-men and today the Preds added Swedish prospect Mattias Ekholm to their fleet of blueliners by way of a three-year entry level contract.
Although today might be the first time you have ever heard his name, Ekholm is far from a nobody from the Swedish Elite League. At 6'3", 204 pounds (and having apparently gained 10 pounds since someone last updated the prospects page on nashvillepredators.com), he might just be the guy to fill a defensive void if one should open up. The Predators will undoubtedly push their salary cap to keep RFA Weber on July 1st, but who knows if the team will shell out the cash to keep UFA bruiser Shane O'Brien, whose post-season penalties caused a lot of grief and a lot of power play goals for Anaheim. In signing Ekholm, the Preds may have anticipated to fill a space in Milwaukee to bring up another defensemen with some North American hockey experience under his belt (Josi, please please please please please) for the 2011-2012 season.
Ekholm was drafted 102nd overall in the 2009 NHL Entry draft, the same draft the Preds selected Ryan Ellis 10th overall. With picks like Weber, Suter, Ellis, and Blum, the Preds know a thing or two about drafting defensemen. So don't let the lateness of his pick fool you (need I remind you of Mr. Irrelevant, Sir Patric Hornqvist?). Ekholm was named the 2010-2011 Elitserien Rookie of the Year over the current number one European draft prospect, Adam Larsson, and Red Wings' pride and joy and Brynas teammate, Calle Jarnkrok.
Ekholm and Jarnkrok were able to compete in the Elitserien playoffs their first year in the league. Although Brynas was ousted in the first round by Farjestads (who later went on to win the Swedish equivalent of the Stanley Cup), Ekholm was no stranger on the score sheet and tallied four points in five games, leading the team in defensive scoring. In the regular season he ranked fourth in defensive scoring with 33 points. That's only six fewer points than Suter had this season… and Ekholm played 15 fewer games. He also ranked 11th in the league in plus/minus ranking and was tied for fourth in power play goals by defensemen with five. At just 20 years of age, the Borlange native has five seasons of professional hockey on his resume and has already represented Sweden in international play a handful of times.
Who knows when or if Preds fans will get to see Ekholm in Nashville next season, but he's certainly not a bad guy to have in our utility belt. And although the blueline in Milwaukee is getting a little crowded, surely this rookie of the year will be a welcome addition to the team.

Debate over the rights of non-New Zealanders to purchase New Zealand farm land has been re-ignited recently as a result of a Shanghai Pengxin company's application to the Overseas Investment Office (OIO) to purchase Lochinver Station, a 13,800 ha station near Taupo. If the applicant is successful, Shanghai Pengxin will expand its already substantial Crafar farm empire.
Much of the debate is not fully informed - OIO criteria for consent to a sale are not widely known. Whereas a New Zealand purchaser can live overseas, have minimal farming experience, have no intention to develop the land or benefit New Zealand and can be a person of dubious character, the same does not apply to an overseas purchaser. In fact, the stated purpose of the Overseas Investment Act 2005 (OIA) is that it is a privilege for an overseas person to own or control New Zealand farm land. In the case of the Shanghai Pengxin company, the OIO must decide whether such a privilege should be granted.
The OIA is complex. It regulates the sale of business assets as well as sensitive land to overseas investors. An overseas person is someone who is neither a New Zealand citizen, nor ordinarily resident in New Zealand. A company, partnership, joint venture or trust may be regarded under the OIA as an overseas person depending on its ownership and control.
Transactions involving the sale and leases for more than three years of "sensitive land" must be approved by the OIO. Sensitive land includes farm land that is more than 5 hectares. Numerous other types of land are sensitive under the OIA.
Not be ineligible individuals under the Immigration Act 2009.
Under the OIA farm land must be offered for sale on the open market to New Zealanders before a sale to an overseas investor is approved (unless an exemption is applicable).
The overseas person intends to reside in New Zealand indefinitely.
Where the investor does not intend to reside in New Zealand, the benefit to New Zealand must be over and above what a New Zealand investor would bring. It must be substantial and identifiable and it will be measured against a large number of economic and conservation factors, including creation of jobs, introduction of capital and expertise and protection of the environment.
Despite the significant hurdles which overseas buyers must overcome to buy New Zealand farm land we must decide whether and to what extent we want overseas persons to control the land. We must weigh the benefits of overseas investment (which for an overseas resident investor must be greater than what a New Zealand investor would bring) against our desire to retain economic independence and control. We must consider that, although increased farm prices resulting from overseas investment benefit existing farm owners, it may become too difficult for young farmers to purchase their own farms. That might mean the demise of the traditional family farm, which has undoubtedly been a major contributor to the success of our farming industry and our farming communities. The more informed the debate on these issues, the more likely any changes to the OIA will have the effect that we as a nation desire.

Halsted Street is a major north-south street in the U.S. city of Chicago, Illinois.

Location
In Chicago's grid system, Halsted Street marks 800 West,  west of State Street, from Grace Street (3800 N) in Lakeview south to the city limits at the Little Calumet River (13000 S) in West Pullman, a length of 168 north-south Chicago blocks. (From Grace north to Lawrence Avenue (4800 N) in Uptown, 800 W is marked by Clarendon Avenue.)

Environs

North Side

In Lakeview Halsted passes through Wrigleyville, as intersecting with Addison Street, it is only two blocks east of Wrigley Field home of the Chicago Cubs. Halsted is then lined with restaurants, bars and gay bars and clubs as one enters Boystown, Chicago's main gay and lesbian community, running as far as Belmont Avenue. This area also contains numerous theaters and comedy clubs. As it continues south past Diversey (2800 N), it goes past DePaul University and through the Lincoln Park area, as a primary thoroughfare through the community area. South of Armitage Avenue, it passes two notable theaters: Steppenwolf and the Royal George.

Near North
At North Avenue, Halsted passes Clybourn Avenue, through the Old Town area. The former site of the Cabrini–Green housing project is at Halsted and Division (1200 N) in the Near North Side neighborhood. Halsted Street has two bridges to mark its passage over Goose Island; it is one of only two streets to completely traverse this, the Chicago River's only island.

Near West
Continuing south, Halsted soars high above feeder ramps to the Kennedy Expressway, Union Pacific Railroad and Canadian National Railway and finally the Kennedy Expressway itself to enter the West Loop. One then passes through Chicago's Greektown at Jackson Blvd (300 S). South of a high bridge over the Eisenhower Expressway, Halsted forms the eastern border of the University of Illinois at Chicago. North of Greektown is the headquarters for Weigel Broadcasting (owner of MeTV) and its local television stations (WCIU-TV, WWME-CD, and WMEU-CD), which are appropriately addressed at 26 N. Halsted Street, to honor WCIU-TV's channel number.

The Jane Addams Hull House, America's first settlement house, was located at Polk (800 S) and Halsted. The "Hull House Neighborhood," which was served by the Jane Addams settlement house, consisted of recently arrived immigrants at the turn of the 20th century.

Taylor Street (1000 S) was the port-of-call for Chicago's Italian American immigrants and became known as Chicago's Little Italy. Italians were the only ethnic group that remained after the exodus of Jews, Greeks, Irish, etc. that began shortly before the Great Depression of the 1930s. Greektown and Maxwell Street business establishments continue to exist as remnants of the mass emigration of Southern Europeans, terminated by an act of Congress in 1924.

South of an underpass allowing Halsted to cross the BNSF Railway tracks at 16th street, parallel to the Dan Ryan Expressway, Halsted grazes the eastern edge of the Pilsen neighborhood, then crosses the Chicago River's south branch.

South Side
Here Halsted Street enters Bridgeport, traditionally a working-class Irish, Lithuanian and Italian community, it has been home to five of the city's mayors. Continuing south, Halsted passes between the borders of Back of the Yards, which lies to the west side of Halsted from 40th to 55th Streets, and Canaryville, which lies on the east side of Halsted between 40th and 49th Streets. Both Canaryville and Back of the Yards historically housed many Union Stock Yards workers. The Stockyards themselves were located to the west of Halsted between Pershing (39th) and 47th. Further south, Halsted Street passes into Englewood. Kennedy-King College has its campus in the heart of Englewood at 63rd Street and Halsted Street. Further south, Halsted intersects with 71st Street, which was honorarily named for Emmett Till, a victim of the violence of white supremacy in the United States. Just south of 95th Street is the Carter G. Woodson regional branch of the Chicago Public Library. Illinois Route 1 begins at Halsted Street's interchange with Interstate 57 (at 99th Street) on the far south side, and follows Halsted through much of its length through the suburbs.

South Suburbs
Leaving Chicago and entering the village of Riverdale at the Little Calumet River near 129th St, Route 1 breaks off and is called Chicago Road, then Dixie Highway, ending at the Ohio River, at the border with the state of Kentucky.  Halsted Street continues through downtown Chicago Heights and crosses the Lincoln Highway. The road continues intermittently and ends, marked as Halstead Street, at 287th street north of Beecher, Illinois.

Public transportation
Halsted Street is served by major transportation lines.  The Chicago Transit Authority's Red, Brown, and Purple Lines run nearby on the north side. The Red, Blue, Green, and Orange Lines have stations at various points along Halsted Street. These include  on the Red Line,  and  on the Blue Line,  on the Green Line, and  on the Orange Line. The CTA also provides service on three Halsted routes:  the 8 Halsted between Broadway/Waveland and 79th Street; the 8A South Halsted between the  Red Line station and Halsted/119th (with select trips continuing to 127th/Lowe); and the 108 Halsted/95th between the  Red Line terminal and 127th/Lowe. There is a Halsted Street station on Metra commuter rail's BNSF Railway Line; and, the West Pullman stop on the Blue Island branch of Metra's Electric District commuter rail line is at Halsted and where 121st Street would be. Pace provides suburban bus service along Halsted Street from the  Red Line terminal to the south suburbs. The 352 Halsted route operates 24/7 between the  Red Line terminal and the Pace Harvey Transportation Center in Harvey, Illinois, with select trips continuing to the Pace Chicago Heights Bus Terminal at Vincennes/16th Street. The 359 Robbins/South Kedzie Avenue also runs along Halsted between the  Red Line terminal and 124th Street before turning west.

Associated persons
Professional wrestlers One Man Gang and Colt Cabana have been billed from Halsted Street, as well as Ace Steel and CM Punk.

Conrad Friberg, aka C.O. Nelson produced a film in 1934 traveling from the south end of Halsted Street to the North, across Chicago.

Etymology
The street derives its name from William H. and Caleb O. Halsted, Philadelphia bankers who made large investments in Chicago real estate through William B. Ogden, Chicago's first Mayor.  The street ran through their property, and they ceded valuable rights to the city.

Halsted has had several names, originally known as "Egyptian Road" because it led to the Little Egypt area of Illinois, it was subsequently known as First Street, then Dyer Street, after Charles Volney Dyer, a prominent Chicago physician and abolitionist.

Activation of the Epstein-Barr virus DNA polymerase promoter by the BRLF1 immediate-early protein is mediated through USF and E2F.
C Liu, N D Sista, J S Pagano
C Liu
N D Sista
J S Pagano
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA polymerase (pol) is essential for the replication of viral genomes during productive EBV infection. We have previously reported that the EBV DNA pol promoter, which is TATA-less and constitutively inactive, is activated by a genomic clone expressing both immediate-early viral transactivators, BZLF1Z and BRLF1 (R), in EBV-infected lymphoid cells. Here we demonstrate that R alone is sufficient to activate the pol promoter in EBV-negative B cells. Unlike other early promoters to which the R protein binds directly, its effect on the pol promoter does not appear to involve a direct DNA-binding mechanism. Instead, we found that two cellular transcription factors, an upstream stimulatory factor USF, and a member of the E2F family of proteins, bind directly to the pol promoter at positions -795 to -786 and -186 to -170, respectively, regions previously identified as important for activation of the pol promoter. These two sites contribute to or are essential for transactivation of the pol promoter by R in EBV-noninfected B cells. These data suggest that the R immediate-early protein may activate a key early EBV promoter (pol) through both USF and E2F.

Title: Micro Needling and Injecting Platelet Rich Plasma to Enhance Collagen Synthesis and Skin Tightening.
The technique of medical micro needling has been shown to increase the remolding of the skin by creating thousands of microscopic channels in the skin, to increase the formation of new tissue by activating the body's healing cascade as a result of 6 month clinical trials. This author theorized, that micro needling platelet rich plasma (PRP) into the dermis would intensify the natural wound cascade because of the high concentration of the patients own growth factors. A method of collagen enhancement therapy utilizing a micro-needling roller to infuse PRP and other formulas into the skin, in combination with a Meso lift (non-surgical lift) of the neck and face to tighten and tone skin, is presented. Results reveal this method to be an effective alternative of collagen enhancement therapy (CET).
The earliest form of micro needling, acupuncture, can trace its roots to the Chinese centuries ago. Nappage, a French skin rejuvenation technique used the past fifty years, is another form of micro needling where micro incisions are made into the skin placing a drop of vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants to replace depleted cellular levels.
In the 1990's (Orentreich, 1995) (1) advocated the "subcision" with a needle to treat wrinkles near the lip lines. In 1997, (Comrade, et al.) (2) reported that hypochromic facial scars were tattooed with a skin color pigment and 1 to 2 years later, even after the pigment was gone, it was replaced by actual melanin and the scars were improved in texture, appearance and color. After observing this, scars were tattooed without pigment with the idea that breaking down the scar collagen in this manner would cause realignment and stimulate melanogenesis.
The technique of medical micro needling has been shown to increase the remolding of the skin by creating thousands of microscopic channels thru the skin, to increase the formation of new tissue by activating the body's wound healing cascade (hemostasis-inflammation-proliferation-tissue remodeling). The micro-channeling causes the release of growth factors that promote scar-less healing and the deposition of normal woven collagen rather than scar collagen.
cannot penetrate deeper than the length of the needles and rollers are FDA approved. Fig 1 below a 5mm roller MTS Dermaroller.
The comparative slides below Fig 2, (Control) demonstrated by (Schwartz, 2006) (4) shows new collagen and elastin formation Fig 3, (CIT side) 6 months after "dry" micro needling. Dry meaning, "no substance was used or infused into the skin". In this study, twenty blinded biopsies taken from 10 different patients from various parts of their body demonstrated an average increase in new fibers of 206%, one biopsy a 1000% increase was recorded.
This study also evaluated the penetration forces and needle length. Interestingly, after evaluation of all the biopsies, new collagen fibers were only found at the corium not deeper than 0.5mm to 0.6 mm. Even though 2.0 mm needles were used, no new collagen fibers could be found in the sub dermal layer illustrating no benefit to using longer more invasive needles.
A second study by Korean Dermatologists (Kim, et al, 2006) (5) compared IPL (Elippse, DDDD, Denmark) to micro needling (MTS roller TM Clinical Resolution, INC, USA) while evaluating collagen synthesis. Patients received three treatments at two week intervals (18 Control, 18 IPL, 18 MN). Micro needling (MN) demonstrated: 1) more skin thickness than IPL or control, 2) histology (MT stain) more collagen fiber than IPL or control 3) and a higher collagen qualitative analysis via (ELISA, WB) than IPL or control.
If "dry" micro needling caused new collagen synthesis via the natural wound cascade, this author theorized, that micro needling platelet rich plasma PRP into the dermis would intensify the immune response because of the high concentration of the patients own growth factors.
Platelet derived growth factor PDGF is the evolutionary sentinel growth factor that initiates all wound healing. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) contains several growth factors, including platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF), transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) at high levels and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). When platelets are activated growth factors are released which emit chemical signals to surrounding areas multiplying the growth factors thus causing a heighten "immune response".
Platelet derived growth factors' main functions are to stimulate cell replication (mitogenesis) of healing capable stem cells. It also stimulates cell replication of endothelial cells. This will cause budding of new capillaries into the wound (angiogenesis), a fundamental part of all wound healing. In addition, PDGF seems to promote the migration of perivascular healing capable cells into a wound and to modulate the effects of other growth factors.
Fibroblasts are among the cells that are activated by TGF-beta. When a fibroblast is activated it will under go cell division and produce collagen. Collagen deposition is responsible for plumping the skin and reversing the visible signs of aging.
TGF-beta is extremely important because it affects most aspects of tissue wound repair, namely initiation and termination and also promotes differentiation and proliferation (Chio and Fucks, 1990) (7). PDGF improves dermal regeneration, acts locally to promote protein and collagen synthesis, causes endothelial migration or angiogenesis (Ross, 1987) (8) and induces the expression of TGF-beta (Pierce et al., 1989a) (9).
It was further established that wounds treated with PRP gel exhibited not only enhanced wound repair compared to controls, but also possess more organized collagen than controls tissues, without excessive disposition of connective tissue or scar formation (Carter, et al., 2002) (10).
This equine study demonstrated biopsy wounds treated with PRP gel to be densely organized, tightly packed fiber bundles parallel to the overlying epidermis suggesting the dense collagen lattice had increased tensile strength in the repaired wound. (Fig 4, Lower right slide).
PRP is safe because it is obtained from the patients own blood via phlebotomy and avoids the risk of transmissible diseases such as HIV, Hepatitis B, C, or D, and other blood borne pathogens. Because it is used topically in and on top of a wound in a clotted fashion, it never re-enters the individual's circulation. It is therefore safe when clot accelerators such as bovine thrombin are used or when PRP is added to other materials such as bovine collagen, gel foam, PLA-PGLA constructs, etc.
Second, the patient undergoes microderabrasion to remove the stratum corneum in the treatment area, while the platelets are being separated, to prepare the skin surface for the PRP.
Third, the treatment area undergoes nappage, via medical micro needle therapy (Fig 7) below to produce microscopic channels thru the epidermis in order (1) to increase the penetration of the PRP into the dermis and (2) to initiate the immune response in the dermal layer.
Fourth, the activated PRP or toning formula is then applied to the face and nappage is continued with the roller for the CET treatment only.
NOTE: The maximum effect of a Mesolift of the neck and face can be achieved at this point by injecting PRP and a skin toning formula. A Mesolift, or non-surgical skin tightening, utilizes micro injections of a variety of skin toning formulas and or a lipolytic formula to achieve a desired result. It is the synergistic effect of the toning formulas and the bodies "wound response", caused by the needle that produces the desired effect. After the injections, a 0.5mm MTS roller is used on the treated areas to induce collagen synthesis.
Fig 8 illustrates the Meso lift Injection pattern and Fig 9 illustrates the patient immediately after the infections, note the erythema.
Fifth, freeze-dried collagen sheets (Reviva Labs, New Jersey) moistened with PRP, saline and or a toning formula, is applied to the area for 30 minutes (Fig 10). The collagen sheets hydrate the skin and infuse the PRP or toning formula into the micro channels. The channels close within an hour entrapping the PRP or toning formula beneath the epidermis. Note the contrast in Fig 11, immediately after the collagen sheets were removed, to Fig 9, prior to the application of the sheets.
The patient in Fig 12 and Fig 13 below had two Meso lift treatments with CET 3 months apart. PRP was only used in the initial session. A toning formula and hyaluronic acid was infused in the second session along with CET on the face and neck. Note the tightening of her neck, along the mandible and the glow to her skin.
The patient below in Fig 14 had two CET sessions. In the first procedure, PRP was infused and in the second procedure a toning formula was used along with hyaluronic acid. Note the changes in Fig 15 at 24 weeks, notably the smoothing of the scaring in the cheek, above the eye and the increased tone of the skin.
While it takes six weeks for new collagen synthesis and about six months for the full effect of the treatments, the common response by patients after the initial treatment is that their skin has a "glow" and females wear less make-up and feel more comfortable when they are not wearing make-up.
While it has been illustrated at "dry micro needling" will produce collagen synthesis in six weeks and micro needling with various toning formulas will enhance the skin remolding, in our experience, patients undergoing "CET with PRP infusion" have noticeable results sooner and with fewer sessions that those patients undergoing CET alone or CET with toning formulas only.
The high concentration of growth factors entrapped in the micro channels after the epidermis closes, appear to accelerate wound healing cascade leading to skin remolding.
Based on over fifteen years of clinical applications that platelet rich plasma has been utilized in wound repair, the collagen induction therapy studies cited and the patients presented above, this author believes the combination of PRP infusion with micro needling quantify the stimulation of new collagen synthesis and cell formation exactly where it is needed, right at the dermal layer.
Micro needling is an effective, versatile, cost effective delivery system that allows the physician to induce collagen synthesis by infusing any variety skin toning substances, including PRP. Collagen enhancement therapy is an effective adjunctive treatment combination with many other non-surgical protocols, like the ones presented, to tighten and tone skin, reduce acne scaring, stretch marks, fine lines, and to reduce the dimpling appearance of cellulite.

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The US spy chief in charge of a leaked programme to gather and analyse Internet and phone data defended the intelligence tactic on Wednesday, insisting it had helped thwart dozens of terror attacks.
Facing sceptical questions from lawmakers after a rogue technician revealed the secret operation, National Security Agency chief General Keith Alexander insisted it operates under proper legislative and judicial oversight.
"It's classified but it's dozens of terrorist events that these have helped prevent," he told the hearing, the first time he had been questioned in public since 29-year-old former contractor Edward Snowden spilled the beans.
"I want the American people to know that we're being transparent in here," he insisted, warning that "the trust of the American people" was a "sacred requirement" if his agency was to be able to do its job.
Asked if the light shone on the programmes could help terrorists avoid surveillance, Alexander said: "They will get through, and Americans will die."
"Great harm has already been done by opening this up. The consequence I believe is our security has been jeopardized," he warned.
Mr Snowden, a technician seconded by a private contractor to an NSA base in Hawaii, disappeared last month after downloading a cache of secret documents and surfaced at the weekend in Hong Kong to give media interviews.
He embarrassed and infuriated President Barack Obama's administration by revealing that the NSA had gathered call log records for millions of American phone subscribers and targeted the Internet data of foreign web users.
The leaks triggered a row over privacy and the limits of executive power in the digital age, as Mr Snowden said had been his intention, but also calls for the leaker to be arrested and sent home to face trial.
Mr Snowden said on Wednesday in an interview with Hong Kong daily the South China Morning Post he would resist any attempt to extradite him and accused the NSA of carrying out tens of thousands of hacking attacks worldwide.
Many in the United States and beyond hailed Snowden as a whistleblower who carried out an act of civil disobedience to expose government overreach and defend the privacy of innocent web users from government snooping.
Others, including spy chiefs and some senior lawmakers, have branded Mr Snowden a traitor who sold out a system that serves to protect Americans.
Several investigations are underway and the leaker may yet face criminal charges, but in the meantime debate is raging about the legality and utility of the NSA's broad-brush approach to sweeping up private data.
"How do we get from reasonable grounds... to all phone records, all the time, all locations?" demanded Senator Jeff Merkley, a longtime opponent of giving the government broad secret surveillance powers.
Holding up his own phone, he asked Gen Alexander: "What authority gave you the grounds for acquiring my cell phone data?" Gen Alexander repeated the administration's defence that, while NSA did gather large quantities of telephone metadata, it could not mine the logs to target a specific user without an order from a secret court.
"We do not see a trade-off between security and liberty," he said, insisting that the NSA and US Cyber Command are "deeply committed to compliance with the law and the protection of privacy rights."
"I do think what we're doing does protect American civil liberties and privacy," he protested, claiming he welcomed the "debate" sparked by the leaks: "The American people need to understand what we're doing."
Senator Mark Udall expressed scepticism at this nod to openness.
"It's very, very difficult, I think, to have a transparent debate about a secret programme written by a secret court, issuing secret court orders based on secret interpretations of the law," he said.
In Hong Kong, Mr Snowden was unrepentant.
"I'm neither traitor nor hero. I'm an American," he said.
Mr Snowden told the South China Morning Post there had been more than 61,000 NSA hacking operations globally, targeting powerful "network backbones" that can yield access to hundreds of thousands of individual computers.
There were hundreds of targets in mainland China and Hong Kong, he was quoted as saying, alleging this exposed "the hypocrisy of the US government when it claims that it does not target civilian infrastructure."
Mr Snowden accused the US government of "trying to bully" Hong Kong into expelling him before he can reveal details of alleged NSA snooping on communications inside the Chinese financial and trading hub.
But he pledged to resist any extradition attempt.
"I have had many opportunities to flee HK, but I would rather stay and fight the US government in the courts, because I have faith in HK's rule of law," he said, according to the paper.

Will Sabarimala temple open its doors to women?
Deepalakshmi K.
With the Supreme Court elevating the matter to a five-judge Constitution Bench, the question still remains.
Devotees worshipping the Makaravilakku deeparadhana performed at Ponnambalamedu, a remote hill facing Sabarimala.
The Sabarimala temple, located in the Periyar Tiger Reserve in the Western Ghat mountain ranges of Pathanamthitta District of Kerala, has lakhs of pilgrims thronging it every year for darshan. Pilgrims trek the Neelimala to reach the shrine, which has 18 sacred steps, to worship Lord Ayyapa after observing strict abstinence vows for 48 days.
The temple is also prominent for another reason — the selective ban on women entering it.
Women aged between 10 and 50, that is those who are in menstruating age, are barred from entering the temple. While there is no restriction on women to worship Lord Ayyappa in any other temple, their entry is prohibited in this temple.
The Indian Young Lawyers Association and five women lawyers approached the Supreme Court seeking a direction to allow entry of women into the temple without age restrictions. Another group of women, part of the "Happy to Bleed" campaign, has also sought the court's direction on whether society should continue to bear with "menstrual discrimination."
Their petition contended that discrimination in matters of entry into temples was neither a ritual nor a ceremony associated with Hindu religion and that such discrimination was anti-Hindu. The religious denomination could only restrict entry into the sanctum sanctorum and could not ban entry into the temple, making a discrimination on the basis of sex.
The Travancore Devasom Board, which maintains the temple, had replied that the ban was in accordance to the centuries-old tradition. Lord Ayyappa, being a Naishtika Brahmmachari (one who has vowed to remain celibate). Another argument put forth by the temple authorities is that it is not possible for women to put up with the physical hardship, austerity and days of celibacy like men.
The 1991 judgment
The ongoing trial in the Supreme Court has also put the spotlight on a 1991 Kerala High Court judgment, which held that the restriction was in accordance with a usage from time immemorial and not discriminatory under the Constitution.
Upholding the restrictions, the High Court, in its judgment, said: "According to him [The Sabarimala Thanthri], these customs and usages had to be followed for the welfare of the temple. He said only persons who had observed penance and followed the customs are eligible to enter the temple and it is not proper for young women to do so."
Twenty-five years after this judgment, the Supreme Court has questioned the "logic" behind the restriction, even wondering whether there was any proof that women did not enter the sanctum sanctorum 1,500 years ago.
Earlier instances
The Sabarimala Temple tantri would perform a "purification ceremony" at the 18-sacred steps that lead to the sanctum sanctorum, whenever the rules are violated. The last ceremony took place in December 2011, after a 35-year-old woman managed to climb the "pathinettam padi".
In 2006, astrologer P. Unnikrishna Panicker conducted a "devaprasnam" at the temple and 'found' that there were signs of a woman having entered the sanctum sanctorum. Soon after this, yesteryear Kannada actor Jayamala said she had entered the temple and even touched the idol in 1987, when she was shooting for a movie.
Amidst outrage, the Kerala police filed a report, stating the entire episode was "orchestrated to gain publicity." The case is pending in the Kerala High Court.
Though, courts have generally not interfered in the traditions and practices followed in religious place, it has never failed to uphold equality whenever discrimination was reported. In this conflict of worshipping rights versus customs, all eyes are now on the Supreme Court.

One of the entry requirements for any course is writing a personal statement. This part of application is required by many universities for the reason that many students apply with the same grades. The question appears "How to distinguish those potential students who is really agreeable for a particular course?" For that purpose, most colleges and universities make a practice of writing personal statements by applicants, thereby asking – write us a personal statement and we'll see who you are.
So, you have your Law personal statement written and you want to determine if it is worth sending to the university of your choice or not. More often than not, what seems like a quality statement at first, can turn out to lack several crucial points. Review carefully your writing and judge its content and structure according to the criteria suggested by admissions tutors.
Most of us like to indulge in philosophizing with regard to different issues – principles of human behavior, social interaction, cultural influences and so on. Someone can decide to take it a step further – to get a degree in Philosophy. Want to connect your life with one of the oldest academic discipline in the world? Great! For example, the students from the Lehigh University don't regret studying Philosophy. There are many benefits from this subject – critical thinking skills, opinion expressing skills, effective writing skills.
According to the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2018: Philosophy, top universities in America is the University of Pittsburgh and in the UK – the University of Oxford. Want to be admitted to them? As a student applying to study Philosophy at university, you should write a clear and accurate personal statement. It can be a representation of your love, interest, and commitment to the subject.
A personal statement is one of the most crucial aspects of any university or college application. It gives admissions officers insight into your ability to think critically as a potential student. In addition, it allows them to measure the probability of your success as a student at their university.
For students who wants to study Computer Science writing a personal statement is no different. The failure to provide a strong personal statement could leave admissions officers convinced that a student is not worthy to join the program. Don't want to fail?
As a rule, doing nothing towards the goal to enroll in your dream college is doomed to failure. Now it's time to start preparing your computer science personal statement. When you are writing your statement, you need to demonstrate clearly that you are ready to actively engage with the program and to contribute to the advancement of the subject beyond the university campus.
5 Essential Aspects of a History Personal Statement: What Do Admission Officers Expect?
What do you think a journalist, Louis Theroux, a TV presenter, Jonathan Ross, and the Prince Charles have in common? Just looking at the article's title, you'll ask – all of them, like me, need to write a personal statement on History? To some extent, you're right. But it is unknown whether they had to write personal statements, especially Prince Charles. In fact, these famous people have a History degree as it is mentioned in the list of Top 10 Celebrities with History Degrees.
So, how to become an outstanding historian? For a start, write a successful admission essay to start studying at the top universities in the world that are presented by the World University Rankings. According to the Telegraph, History is the 10th popular subject. This fact creates fierce competition between students.
As such, when you apply to university, devote all the efforts to your personal statement, besides GPA that is not less important as well. Keep in mind that you only have one chance to impress the admission committee. As a rule, a mediocre piece of writing ruins the entire application.

#VT – Another successful Front Porch Forum story: via a Hinesburg FPF posting about a found dog, a Charlotte FPF reader noticed our missing dog posting. Then through various neighborly phone calls and emails, we picked up our little Jetta today, who ended up at the Hinesburg Police Dept. via the Shelburne animal dispatch. She had warmed up to the police and vice versa and even got a ride in the police car, sitting in the back seat with her head out the window. Don't you just love small town stories like this?! A special thank you to Leigh, who initially gave Jetta a home for a few days. Thanks to everyone for their concern and help!
Posted by Pati to her Charlotte FPF neighbors today. Good news!

Baron Campbell, of St. Andrews in the County of Fife, ist ein erblicher britischer Adelstitel in der Peerage of the United Kingdom. Der Titel ist seit 1861 mit dem Titel Baron Stratheden verbunden.

Verleihung und weitere Titel
Der Titel wurde am 30. Juni 1841 für den prominenten Whig-Abgeordneten im House of Commons und Attorney General Sir John Campbell anlässlich seiner Ernennung zum Lordkanzler von Irland geschaffen. Später war er auch Lordkanzler des Vereinigten Königreichs.

In Anerkennung seiner Verdienste war bereits am 22. Januar 1836 seine Ehefrau Hon. Mary Campbell zur Baroness Stratheden erhoben worden.

Die beiden Titel sind vereinigt, seit die Eheleute 1861 bzw. 1860 von ihrem ältesten Sohn beerbt wurden.

We love to relax with a chilled wine at the weekend and I always love to have some tasty snacks on hand to go with it:) I like to chip and dip but I'm always on the look out for some easy summer recipes just to mix it up a little!
I had a mango and some limes in the fruit bowl so this combination came together quite well.
I love it with the tortilla chips above, but it is also so good as a snack option served on rice or corn cakes! It keeps quite well covered and stored in the fridge for a couple of days.

Could anti-smoking hit jackpot outside Atlantic City casinos?
New Jersey prohibits indoor smoking in nearly all workplaces and in buildings open to the public like restaurants, stores and bars — with one huge exception, the casinos in Atlantic City.
Now, in what might be considered an ironic twist, Atlantic City is considering joining the smoke-free outdoor air movement.
On Wednesday, the Atlantic City Council considered an ordinance to ban smoking at playgrounds and ball fields, and if it passes, Atlantic City will present something of a paradox: Smoking will be illegal in certain outdoor space, but will still be permitted indoors at the casinos.
But to Dr. Fred Jacobs, former state health commissioner and chairman of the Tobacco Strike Force of the eastern region of the American Cancer Society, the battle against smoking is a long-term campaign with progress measured in incremental steps and partial victories.
It took a decade of lobbying to pass New Jersey's 2006 Smoke Free Air Act, Jacobs said, something that would not have happened but for the Atlantic City casino compromise.
Atlantic City Councilman Marty Small Sr. is sponsoring the ordinance to ban smoking in all outdoor arenas, stadiums and amphitheaters, whether publicly or privately owned, and at all public playgrounds, athletic fields and courts. For economic reasons, he supports smoking at casinos. But with the resort's first smoke-free casino opening earlier this month, some observers are hopeful the $2.4 billion Revel will help lay the groundwork for extending the smoking ban to other casinos.
"Revel is our first smoke-free casino, and maybe down the line, if Revel is as successful without smoking, other casinos will follow," Small said.
Jacobs, who chairs New Jersey Breathes, a coalition of anti-smoking advocates, is also looking for incremental progress on restoring state funding for anti-smoking programs. Budget constraints have played a role in the steady dwindling of public funding for tobacco control programs. State and federal funds for tobacco programs, in 2012 and 2013, are budgeted at about $1.6 million a year. Jacobs hopes to persuade the legislature to increase funding to $30 million — a level not seen since 2003.
State Sen. Joseph F. Vitale (D-Middlesex), chairman of the Senate's health committee, said he will look to move tobacco control funding legislation when lawmakers return after the recess that will follow passage of the new state budget, which must be approved and signed by June 30. Vitale said he will push for legislation that raises additional revenue by increasing taxes on non-cigarette forms of tobacco, including small cigars and chewing tobacco.
"It is a pretty dramatic increase [in funding] being proposed so we will have to see what is possible," Vitale said.
The problem, he said, is that it's not possible to adopt a law that restricts the use of these new taxes to tobacco control programs. "We can't be sure it will be used for [anti-smoking] programs but the legislative intent will be in there," Vitale said. "I hope the governor will be supportive. This is the No. 1 killer. Children who start smoking before age 21 die at a much earlier age and suffer from variety of illnesses."
From a public health perspective, state Health Commissioner Mary E. O'Dowd said "anything that reduces smoking is the right thing to do, and I think that New Jersey in particular is doing a lot of very good things." She noted that the state has a smoke-free indoor air act and cigarette tax – at $2.70 a pack, the sixth highest in the nation. The Centers for Disease Control cites both of those measures as "the two biggest ways to reduce the use of tobacco."
O'Dowd said smoking should not be a standalone health program. "We know that tobacco is correlated with chronic diseases so our chronic disease program should focus on smoking cessation also. Our family health service, which focuses on prenatal care, should also focus on smoking. One of the ways that we should be leveraging our resources more effectively is focusing on how do you embed an anti-smoking message into everything that we do within public health."
Although O'Dowd said she didn't have a position on whether or not to raise tobacco taxes as Vitale proposes, "from a public health perspective, anything that helps reduce the initiation of smoking or helps people quit smoking is a good thing."
According to the state health department, New Jersey has the sixth lowest adult smoking rate in the nation at 14.4 percent in 2010, compared to a national average of 19.3 percent. According to the health department, in 1996 the adult smoking rate in New Jersey was 22.7 percent. Among New Jersey students 12 to 17, 14.3 percent were smokers in 2010, down from 27.6 percent in 1999.
Blair Horner, vice president of advocacy for the Eastern Division of the American Cancer Society, cited the latest reports from the U.S. Surgeon General that an aggressive program to combat childhood and teen smoking could cut the rate of youth smoking in half by 2020. Such programs require funding to combat the advertising and marketing from tobacco companies targeted to teens, Horner said.
"There is a body of evidence that connects the intentional marketing of tobacco products to young people as a primary cause of why young people smoke." Horner said the surgeon general advocates a coordinated, anti-smoking program. "To have a significant effect, you have to spend money. It is going to take governmental commitment to make this happen."
