They have all the characteristics of a tooth, from color graduations, natural textures, white spots, translucency, and whatever character you want in a tooth. You choose the color that you want your tooth to be and this is permanent. The porcelain does not discolor over time. They let light through so do not appear opaque, but very natural like a natural, unrestored tooth.

What Is Involved In Getting Porcelain Veneers ?
Pick your dream smile. Let us know what you want, what your goals are, and we will help you achieve what you want. We will sit with you and design your smile with you so you get what you want in the end.
View the Mock ups that we prepare for you so you can see the result before we even begin. We will get the mock ups as close to what you envisage as your dream smile before we even begin so you have a good idea what you will look like before you even start.
TREATMENT VISIT 1 Interim smile. When you come in for the first visit, we will prepare the teeth for veneers and place the mock ups as your interim or temporary smile so that you get a chance to see the what the "finals" will look like and have a really good idea if it fulfills your goals. At this stage your smile is still in an acrylic stage so we can modify or change anything you want.
TREATMENT VISIT 2 Final smile goes in.
The process is very simple for the patient, in just 2 treatment visits you can have a new smile, and if you want you can use our brand new Nucalm Natural Anxiety-Free system or have traditional sedation, you can be totally relaxed during treatment.
Much planning and preparation by dentist and laboratories occur outside the treatment plan. We execute each of our smiles according to a very detailed systematized protocol, which have been developed by our very own Dr. Vicky Ho after years of experience. This ensures that when it comes to our patients we do most of the work in planning and preparation, which means that when it comes down to treatment of the patients, it occurs seamlessly, like clockwork, and very quickly with "no fiddling about" for the patient.
The system by which we create your smile is illustrated below. It is not a simple process and a lot goes on behind the scenes however we make it simple for you, the patient.
We only choose to work with the world's most skilled artisans who have all received training in the specialized field of cosmetic dentistry in America. Without this partnership the product that we get will be less than satisfying as our lab partners must be able to produce precisely what we design. Our lab partners are award winners in their field.
They also use specialized equipment to ensure that we have the best colour match to blend to the natural teeth.
They range in cost depending on which laboratory you choose, from $1850 to $2530 per tooth. How many teeth you choose to do depends on what you need to achieve. We will go through and help you design what you need to achieve the result you want.
Whilst Porcelain veneers are very long lasting and as strong as enamel, there are factors in the mouth that can break them down. What broke your teeth down in the first place can also damage porcelain veneers. Whilst you can use them like normal teeth and eat whatever you want, things like bottles, olive seeds, hard popcorn, biting into a fork, etc things that would chip your natural teeth will also chip porcelain. If you have worn your natural teeth down by grinding and clenching and that is not rectified you would probably do the same with the porcelain veneers.
So in other words, how long they last depends on the the conditions you put it through. We will diagnose all the pre-existing conditions in your mouth and help you to devise an after care plan to ensure you have the best life out of your investment for the long term.
We have a 5 year warranty on the veneers provided that you follow all the care directions and protocols we advise.

Philosophy: Biographies >
Bacon, Roger, c.1214–1294?, English scholastic philosopher and scientist, a Franciscan. He studied at Oxford as well as at the Univ. of Paris and became one of the most celebrated and zealous teachers at Oxford. Bacon was learned in Hebrew and in Greek and stressed the value of knowing the original languages in the study of Aristotle and of the Bible. He may also have known Arabic; his own philosophy drew upon Arab Aristotelianism as well as upon St. Augustine. He had an interest far in advance of his times in natural science, in controlled experiments, and in the accurate observation of phenomena. It is the intention of philosophy, he said, to work out the natures and properties of things. He declared that mathematics was the gateway to science, and experience, or verification, the only basis of certainty. This belief in experience as a guide to the outer world was, however, not divorced from theology; wisdom and faith were to him one. His writings were numerous. Three of his most important works were written for Pope Clement IV in one year (1267–68)—the Opus majus (tr. 1928), the Opus minor, and the Opus tertium. He was deeply interested in alchemy, an interest that may account for his being credited by his contemporaries with great learning in magical practices. He was long credited with the invention of gunpowder (because of a formula for gunpowder that appeared in a work attributed to him). A manuscript in cipher, discovered in the 20th cent. and attributed to him, would make Bacon the first man to have observed spiral nebulae through a telescope and to have examined cells through a microscope; but considerable doubt has been cast on the original date and the authenticity of the manuscript. Earlier editions of his major works were supplemented by an edition of his hitherto unedited works in various fascicles by Robert Steele and others (1909–35).

I once found myself in a boutique in Old Amsterdam with very expensive items that I neither wanted nor could afford.. The opulence and décor was breathtaking, the customers impeccably dressed as they quietly shopped and discussed the terms of the high quality goods they were interested in purchasing.
It was readily apparent to me that I was "out of my element" having just arrived in Amsterdam after a long unusually cold motorcycle trip through the Nordic states. As I recall, we chose this store due to its warm appearance after having stopped at a corner coffee shop next door to thaw our frozen hands and faces. It seemed quaint, warm and well=lit… an added respite to kill a few more minutes as we cheated the outside chill.
A seasoned Euro-traveler, I didn't feel the least bit intimidated by the moneyed disapproving looks of fine tailored patrons even though my jeans, boots, leather jacket, and unkempt hair made me the elephant in the room. Out of the corner of my eye I spotted a long dark haired beautiful mid-30ish woman, exquisitely dressed staring at me intently, as I aimlessly perused the curious merchandise..
As is my nature, I approached her for my amusement to inquire about her keen interest in me. I'd long since found that when in doubt, a non-confrontational straightforward approach is the best way to diffuse unnatural situations. With a business-like half-smile she welcomed me to "her" store and asked if I were looking for something in particular. More likely she was suspicious of me, thinking I might easily stuff a $3,000 trinket in my jacket. Of course, under the circumstances, this I can easily understand.
I politely introduced myself and admitted my real reason for the visit while effusing compliments on her perfect taste and the aesthetic beauty of her store. I admitted that unfortunately my travel budget did not include such luxuries as she had to offer, though it was not beyond my scope to appreciate them. It seemed every detail had been carefully considered including architecture, displays, layout, etc. not to mention the unique artistic treasures she offered for sale.
I almost immediately felt a veil being lifted (did I mention she was obviously of Semitic descent?) exposing an intelligent, warm, delightful human being behind the original cold somewhat distrusting vibe I had sensed earlier.. And of course, it was impossible not to notice her exceptional beauty, her face and body more stunning than even my original perception.
She said she was from Kuwait (or Qatar or one of those oil rich counties in that region). At first, I admit that her beauty had scrambled my concentration so much that I can't remember all the opening small talk. She surmised that I was an American without any hint of prejudice or allure.
This was in the mid-90's and America had lost the once initial positive vibe held by most Europeans just a few years earlier. I know, as I had motorcycled the backroads of Europe for a number of summers before and after. Off the beaten path is where the real people live, not in the tourist rich areas where showing one's cards can amount to financial suicide.
Eventually I asked if she belonged to an Islamic sect/religion, and if so was she a devout practitioner. Having been raised Catholic I understand that there are Catholics and then there are pretenders. IN those years my knowledge and understanding of the world's bigger picture was sparse, but 've always been interested in how "other" people lived, thought, and enjoyed their lives.
I've always felt a certain oneness with every person and culture despite obvious differences in outward appearance. Looking back, I think the pretty lady was surprised by my sincere interest and thoughtful observations, having developed her own popular and cynical profile of many Americans that she noted, "are typically callous and stupid imperialists who don't respect other people or their cultures".
Rarely do I have a discussion with someone who seems to understand the historical underpinnings, the political framework, the psychology, philosophy… and the shiny paint job on the exterior which has invaded our system and prevailed on the global community long before and ever since those times.
It's not really our fault… we've been conditioned and dumbed down since birth. Mind-controlled. This much I did not admit, but I listened intently as she described what the real issues are among the average people of that region, and the problem isn't Islam.
Mind-controlled? For anyone interested in hearing more of what I have to say on this important subject please stay tuned for part 2. That is if you're not afraid of learning some extremely discomforting truths. But, back to my story.
I asked her why she "disliked" Americans, and she pointed out that it is folly to dislike all individuals in any group. This includes ALL groups of people even those who seemed joined in a common interest. People, she said, cannot be properly judged solely by their affiliations, nor on our subjective merits of their individual beliefs. We can only be judged by our actions or non-action.
There were many Islamists that she did not like or approve of, just as there were customers whom she abhorred yet tolerated, civic leaders with whom she disagreed, school teachers of her children she had little respect for. She made it clear that even so, the vast majority of those with whom she came into contact seemed basically honest, friendly, and whose hearts were basically good.
It was America not all Americans that she and others like her despised. American culture, through the advent of television and the convenience of air travel had insinuated its "ugly disgusting culture" into the minds of many young children and growing adults in her homeland. We, she suggested, were intruding on an ancient civilization whose traditions were equivalent to their identity as a people, and were polluting the minds of their future (e.g., their children).
This, in a region of an incredibly long and traditional culture which had been formulated and passed down over thousands of years. Tradition was the bedrock of her people, the lifeblood and the hope of its continuity. Islam was merely the worship of one god, the same one of Judaism and Christianity.
To her, without their permission, America was destroying all that they cherished in a lifestyle at an ever expanding and alarming rate. And from inside-out. MTV, the music, rapping, and the violence and sexual nature of our media was the devil's work, she felt. She emphatically stated that it was not religion, not Islam… that at base had anything to do with it. Extremism was an issue with education/economics and certain groups of instigators who continue to foment hatred and unrest.
The dialectic (classic Hegelian) was an invention in the minds of evildoers… those whose god was money and who needed an enemy to eventually destroy that world in order to insert their materialistic system, and all with the consent of the ignorant brain-washed citizens who bought their lies as militaristic patriotism. The enemy of America was not Islam, but corrupt corporatists and the politicians and media they controlled.
I thanked her for her enlightening views and gushed as I walked out, dizzy from the encounter with stunning beauty and matching brains, and a brief glimpse of rational humanity at its best.

Tips to Reinvent the Department Store
18 Apr 2005Research & Ideas
by Julie Jette
The world of multi-category retailing—much better known to customers of Filene's, Macy's, and Hecht's as simply "department stores"—has been under assault for what seems like ages. How can big retailers not just survive but also thrive?
Here's a snapshot of department stores today: Regional brands have all but disappeared; larger players like Federated and May are merging their multi-brand companies, and consolidation continues. Meanwhile, all sorts of retailers from single-brand stores to big-box discounters have worked to win consumers who used to be loyal department store customers.
"I think department stores are in the process of significant change," said Pat Chadwick, senior vice president of northeast regional stores for Bloomingdale's, at a Multi-Category Retailing panel, held as part of the student-run HBS Retail and Luxury Goods Conference on April 3.
Chadwick noted that while department stores used to be where shoppers went for everything from baby clothes to furniture to power tools, many stores have now limited their assortment and edited out many of the categories of goods they once offered. "I think we are at a crossroads in terms of what exactly we do want to represent to our consumers," she said.
The very variety that department stores offer, and the fact that they carry multiple brands that sometimes overlap across chains, has made some customers complain that essentially these stores are all the same.
At Bloomingdale's, Chadwick said, "we have spent the last five years rebranding ourselves and separating ourselves from what we call the department store, because we thought that we were going down the road of becoming much too homogeneous."
Department stores are looking to become what they want to be—as opposed to a series of vendor shops.
— Pat Chadwick, Bloomingdale's
Alan Barnett, senior vice president of merchandise planning and information systems for Barneys New York, noted that "the department stores have been said to be dying probably three or four times over the last hundred years they've been in existence." But he said they still offer customers a variety that many value.
"It's hard to find a store today in the country where you can go in and buy multiple brands focused on certain lifestyles," he said. "I think department stores will once again redefine themselves."
David Overton, vice president and director of strategic planning and research for JC Penney, said, "Our biggest competitors are no longer the other department stores." Many of the chain's customers buy home products and other items at Penney's, but will only buy clothing at specialty stores.
Sören Petsch, finance manager at Sears, Roebuck & Co., said encouraging customers who buy from one category at their stores to buy from more departments is a key challenge for department stores. "I think the mixed concept still works," he said, "[but] as department stores, we should be encouraging cross-shopping."
Panel moderator Walter J. Salmon, the Stanley Roth, Sr., Professor of Retailing, Emeritus, at HBS, asked whether the continuing consolidation in the department store industry is likely to redefine the balance of power between stores and vendors who provide them with merchandise.
"I think obviously the power should be shifting to the retailer," Petsch answered. He believes that with the pricing leverage already being exercised by Wal-Mart and other discount stores, the department store mergers are likely to put more pressure on vendors. "You'll see, ultimately, a shakeout in consolidation on the vendors' side," he said.
"I think it will complicate life on the vendors' side," Barnett said of the mergers. "The vendors are now being forced to design lines for each chain."
Petsch agreed. "At Sears, we have an increasing number of proprietary brands," Petsch said.
Overton said the mergers will have a major effect on the suppliers of department stores' real estate—the malls. JC Penney, for example, is not necessarily happy to see a competitor like Filene's exit its space when such a departure can mean fewer customers driving to the mall.
Brand Power And Private Labels
Salmon noted that for years, vendor brands have had a great deal of control over how their merchandise was displayed in department stores. He asked the panelists whether allowing brand names to be so dominant in department stores is still an idea that should be reconsidered.
Chadwick said that Bloomingdale's had reconsidered the concept—and was moving away from it. New Bloomingdale's stores do not have separate spaces for separate brands, she noted. It was not a change that was necessarily welcomed by the store's vendors, but she said it was a key part of the store's work to reemphasize its own brand.
"It actually lets us be who we want to be," she said. "Department stores are looking to become what they want to be—as opposed to a series of vendor shops."
Barnett said Barneys has shied away from the "store within a store" concept where brands control their display space. "At Barneys we've always done that," he said, "and it worked well for us; it's worked very well."
Department stores are also pushing even further away from vendor control by introducing their own private-label brands where possible. "We're very private-label focused," at Sears, Petsch said. Lately, the company has been trying to consolidate some of its many private-label brands to create fewer lines with stronger identities.
"If you have fifteen brands in the men's department, it's not really a brand, it's a name," he said.
Barnett said about 16 percent of Barneys merchandise is private-label, with those items often filling in the gaps in its vendors' lines.
The panelists were divided on whether it helps or hurts when their vendors have their own stores, particularly in the same mall. According to Chadwick, "I do think it serves as a branding opportunity for the vendor and for us" when the vendor has its own stores.
But Barnett said, "I think it's a double-edged sword. Barneys will take a designer's line and pick from it the point of view we want to represent," while a vendor's own store will typically offer an entire line of products. "[But] there are certain commodity items. A Prada handbag is a Prada handbag, and we will feel it if they open [near] a Barney's store," he said.
As the first conference in what is planned to be an annual event, the HBS Retail and Luxury Goods Conference on April 3 was organized by two HBS student clubs, the Retail & Apparel Club and the Luxury Goods & Design Business Club. This year's conference theme was "The Fight for Your Disposable Income: Strategies from Mass to Luxury."

One of the featured bottles in this month's tasting has a bit of history to it other than the bourbon in the bottle. The "President's Choice" bottling by Brown-Forman was a specialty product bottled in the late 1950's to early 1970's. It was a single barrel bourbon hand selected by the Master Distiller. In its early years (like our bottling), it was not a public release. Instead, it was a private selection only for "Distinguished Gentlemen" who worked for or with the distillery or who had some other distillery connection. Our bottle prominently features the name of one such distinguished gentlemen, "M.H. W. Ritchie." We thought it would be interesting to learn a bit more of the man that made this bottle possible.
Montgomery Harrison Wadsworth Ritchie (December 2, 1910 – July 19, 1999), known as "M.H. W. Ritchie" or Montie Ritchie, was a noted cattle rancher and businessman in Texas during much of the 20th century. He was the manager of his family-owned JA Ranch in the Texas panhandle. JA Ranch was founded in part by Charles Goodnight (who, incidentally, has a whiskey named after him).
Monte Ritchie is credited with reviving the JA Ranch following the great depression and the drought of the 1930's, after he hostilely took control over the ranch from family members. He was able to revive the ranch strictly with cattle operations, with no oil or natural gas production (which still holds true today). JA Ranch is the oldest privately owned ranch in the Texas Panhandle. The ranch peaked at nearly 1,300,000 acres.
Ritchie served in the U.S. Navy during WWII, after renouncing his (dual) British citizenship. He was able to keep control over the business during that time. Following the war, Ritchie continued cattle operations, but undertook outside business opportunities, including banking and serving as director of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association.
Ritchie was married (Elizabeth) following the War. Together they had one daughter. Elizabeth died when his daughter was a child. He would later remarry a Colorado ranch woman.
Ritchie was an avid photographer and impressionist painter (watercolors). His art led him to art collection. He amassed a sizeable and valuable collection. In the 1970's, much of his collection was stolen, to be recovered days later. As a result, Ritchie divested himself of the art, creating a sizeable trust to hold the assets.

Google Translate now lets users turn Chinese characters into English at the pointing of a cameraphone

GOOGLE has recruited artificial intelligence to translate languages faster but admits instant, conversational translations are still a long way off.
The company showcased its newest translation technology at the Googleplex in Mountain View, California, today in the lead up to its annual developers' conference, adding visual Chinese translations and ways to translate text messages in moments.
Google Translate engineer and Word Lens creator Otavio Good said the company introduced "machine learning" to speed up translations, and users could now transform Chinese characters into English simply by pointing a phone camera at them.
"The thing that made this possible is state-of-the-art machine-learning algorithms," he said.
"It's something called a convolutional neural network and it's really good at recognising images. Google has had a big push lately on machine learning."
Google's Translate can now decipher both traditional and simplified Chinese, Mr Good said, and can transform words on a road sign, for example, to make them appear in English rather than Chinese when you look at them through a phone's camera.

The app can translate an additional 28 languages this way, and 103 languages in text alone.
But while the technology is speeding up the translation process, Mr Good said Google's app was not yet ready to translate languages seamlessly on the fly, allowing two people to hold a normal conversation in different languages.
"It's still a long way off until we get to as good as a human (at translating languages)," he said. "The machine-learning algorithms are going to push things forward.
"As far as real-time voice aspect of it, we do have a conversation mode … but it might have some trouble with that."
Google also recently introduced a "Tap to translate" feature that lets users translate any language by copying it and selecting a translation icon that would pop up inside any Google Android app — a feature Mr Good said was designed to quickly translate text messages and instant message conversations.
Google also reduced the size of its offline language translation downloads from as much as 300MB to just 30MB.
The internet giant's annual developers' conference, Google I/O, begins tomorrow, with announcements expected to include virtual reality technology, new Android software, and a new tablet computer.

Q: get data from pdf string and display I'm creating a pdf from formdata using fpdf (http://www.fpdf.org/).
Using Jquery I'm able to send the data to the pdf-creating script, and make the pdf appear in browser.
Now I'm trying to return the pdf-data to the formpage using fpdf's option to get the pdf as a string and echoing it.
$pdf_file_contents = $pdf->Output("","S");
echo $pdf_file_contents

My question now is
How do I use this data to preview the pdf under the form?
Do I need to use an pdf-viewer or can I use an <iframe> and am I doing this the correct way by returning the variable in an echo?

A: I can think of two options:

*

*Embed a PDF viewer and handle that call in JS. (Wait for the response from PHP and display the outputted file inline)

*Trigger a redirect or load an iframe which displays $pdf->Output($filename,"F") from a temp file.

The result of $pdf->Output() is displayed using the browser's built-in viewer. If there is any output above that in the page FPDF will return an error to say FPDF error: Some data has already been output, can't send PDF.
FPDF error: Some data has already been output, can't send PDF
There might be some other option I'm missing but those would be my first suggestions.

The IRS Warns Taxpayers about Four "Dirty Dozen" Tax Scams to Avoid in 2022
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) released a warning on June 1, 2022, to alert taxpayers to the first four "potentially abusive arrangements" on its Dirty Dozen list for the year. The Dirty Dozen, published to promote vigilance, identifies emerging threats, informs taxpayers so they do not become victims, and educates tax professionals to best advise their clients against these pitfalls when submitting their tax returns. As listed in the IRS's news release, the first scams announced involve charitable remainder annuity trusts, Maltese individual retirement arrangements, foreign captive insurance, and monetized installment sales. Soon, the IRS will release information about eight more scams, including some that target the average taxpayer and some that pertain to high-net-worth individuals.
Tips for taxpayers on emerging scams
To avoid compromising themselves with these "too good to be true" tax-saving schemes, taxpayers should stay wary, as these scams adopt a wide range of communication methods ranging from seemingly harmless emails to direct phone calls to alluring targeted online advertisements. They should also consider each source before putting any of these arrangements on their tax returns — because ultimately, they are the ones who are responsible for what is on the return, not the promoter who reached out to them and made a promise they did not uphold. To mitigate risks, it is crucial that anxious taxpayers should turn to trustworthy tax professionals to assist with their returns. Read on to learn about each of the four now-public Dirty Dozen scams.
Scam #1: Use of Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust (CRAT) to Eliminate Taxable Gain
In this transaction, taxpayers wrongly claim the transfer of appreciated property assets to a CRAT, giving the assets a bump in fair market value, as though they had been sold to a trust. Then, after actually selling the property (and not netting a gain because of the claimed "step-up"), the CRAT uses the proceeds to buy a single premium immediate annuity (SPIA). The beneficiary then reports a small amount of the annuity received from the SPIA as income and mistreats the remaining payment as an excluded portion representing a return on investment — with no associated tax due, which is a misapplication of the rules under sections 72 and 664.
Scam #2: Maltese (or other Foreign) Pension Arrangements Misusing Treaty
These transactions see U.S. citizens or residents try to avoid paying taxes by contributing to certain foreign individual retirement arrangements in Malta (but it is possible this pertains to other foreign countries too). A warning sign here is the individual's lack of a "local" connection because local law allows contributions in a form other than cash, or just does not limit the amount of contributions at all by reference to income earned through employment or self-employment. The foreign arrangement is then named as a "pension fund" for U.S. tax treaty purposes, and the thus the taxpayer wrongly claims an exemption from their income tax on earnings in and distributions from the foreign arrangement.
Scam #3: Puerto Rican and Other Foreign Captive Insurance
Here, the owners of U.S. closely held entities engage in an insurance arrangement with someone from Puerto Rico (or another foreign corporation) who has segregated asset plans or cell arrangements. Typically, the U.S. owner has a vested financial interest in these plans and claims deductions for the insurance coverage provided by a fronting carrier, reinstating the "coverage" with the foreign corporation. There are several things to look for here: non-arm's length pricing, no actual business purpose for entering the arrangement, and implausible risks covered.
Scam #4: Monetized Installment Sales
These transactions violate the installment sale rules under section 453 by a seller who receives the proceeds from a sale (in the same year of the sale) through purported loans. This happens when the seller enters in a contract to sell appreciated property to a buyer for cash, and then intends to sell that same property to an intermediary in return for in installment note. The intermediary then plans to sell the property to a buyer and receives the cash purchase price. The seller ends up receiving an amount equal to the sales price minus the transactional fees in the form of a purported loan that is unsecured.
Consequences of falling for a Dirty Dozen scheme
It is important for taxpayers who have already taken part in transactions like these — or those who are thinking about doing so — to consult tax professionals before claiming any tax benefits they think they are owed. Those taxpayers who have already claimed the purported tax benefits of one of these four "Dirty Dozen" arrangements on a tax return should take the proper steps to amend their actions. These include filing an amended return and going to an independent professional for guidance. If necessary, the IRS will examine the tax benefits from transactions like the ones depicted in the list and inflict penalties related to accuracy ranging from 20% to 40%, or a civil fraud penalty of 75% on any taxpayer who underpaid.
Our perspective on the "Dirty Dozen"
This is not, of course, an exhaustive list of every scam the IRS has its eye on this year. But it does include some of the more common trends that appear like they will peak this year as returns are filed. The best advice we can give? If something looks too good to be true…it probably is. Consult your tax professional for guidance and know that it is in your best interest to stay aware of these nefarious arrangements, so you do not fall susceptible to additional penalties. MGO's Tax team brings more than 30 years of experience and is well versed in ensuring your tax returns are compliant. We also stay up to date on the risks, pitfalls, and warnings issued by the IRS so you don't have to.

Maricopa County leads nation in annual population growth
(StockSnap.io Phot)
BY JADE CARTER
PHOENIX — Maricopa County became the county with the highest annual population growth in the nation in a report released from the U.S. Census Bureau on Thursday.
The Census Bureau reported Maricopa County received 222 people a day in 2016. From July 2015 to July 2016, the county added more than 81,000 people.
The Arizona county knocked Texas' Harris County from the top of the list. Harris County had the highest population growth for eight consecutive years.
Maricopa County's population was estimated at 4.2 million. Clark County in Nevada followed at No. 3.
"While net international migration has not reached prior levels, net domestic migration and natural increase have continued to rise, making Maricopa County this year's largest numeric gainer," Census Bureau demographer Peter Borsella said in a press release.
Other factors were natural growth with higher birth than death rates and from international migration.
Maricopa County includes Phoenix and its suburbs.
In the next few months, the bureau is planning to release a report on population estimates of cities, counties and more by age, sex, race and Hispanic origin.

What is Vitiligo? What is Leucoderma ?
VITILIGO & LEUCODERMA are two different terms used for the same skin disease. But, there exists causative difference between these two. Literally 'Leucoderma' means 'white skin'. Terming it a disease is not appropriate because it does not cause any organic default and it starts without any symptom. So, basically it is a 'skin disorder'. Generally it starts from a small spot, which gradually develops into patch. Primarily the patch may be pale but it develops whiter as the time passes and finally it appears white due to complete loss of melanin pigment (which provides normal skin colour). The patch would be of any shape or size. So it can also be termed as a pigmentation disorder. Vitiligo is a Latin word meaning defective blemises on skin. Its a synonym for white patches. Actually, Leucoderma & Vitiligo has got more social significance as compared to medical because of its prominence over skin of a person, which differentiates him/her from others.
What causes Vitiligo ?
Excessive mental worry, presence of parasites in alimentary canal and mostly improper hygiene(taking odd food combinations regularly) too may also be considered to be one of the causes according to Ayurveda. An example of this is 'virudh ahar sevan' (as fish & milk together) forms toxic substances which gradually destroys body's own immunity system. While referring about Leucoderma, it generally appears due to some external accidental causes, which may be a burn, a cut or an ulcer. These external factors damage the cells beneath skin, which produce 'melanin' pigment. It results to diminished skin colour patches, which later converts white and prominent, forming white patches. Exact cause of Vitiligo remains unknown. However, there are different theories suggesting autoimmune syndrome (a condition whereby the immune system of body destroys body's own tissues & cells), impaired hepatic function as jaundice, gastric disorder, typhoid fever etc.
Is vitiligo heriditary ?
Hereditary is almost 15-20% considered to be a causative factor. If parents have history, then there are more chances of one developing 'Vitiligo'. Moreover, it is not a rule. At the same time, numerous cases of Vitiligo do not have a relevant family history of Vitiligo. Ratio of new cases are higher than hereditary cases now a days. Could be due to abrupt diet & lifestyle.
Is Vitiligo infectious or contagious ?
It is neither infectious nor contagious, it is only a cosmetic problem & it tarnishes the beauty of human body. It has got more social importance due to its appearance over skin and as it is visible.
Will the De-pigmented Patches Spread ?
There is no way to predict if Vitiligo will spread. In some cases these patches remain stagnant through whole life. But in most cases these spread spontaneously and merge to each other covering most of the skin area. Alternately, in many cases only one patch enlarge spontaneously covering a larger skin area. But Ayurvedic treatment helps in vitiligo spread control.
How Is Vitiligo, Leucoderma Diagnosed ?
If a doctor suspects that a person has Vitiligo, he or she usually begins by asking the person about his or her medical history. Important factors in a person's medical history are a family history of Vitiligo; a rash, sunburn, or other skin trauma at the site of Vitiligo 2 to 3 months before de-pigmentation started; stress or physical illness; and premature (before age 40) graying of the hair. In addition, the vitiligo specialist doctor will need to know whether the patient or anyone in the patient's family has had any autoimmune diseases and whether the patient is very sensitive to the sun. The doctor will then examine the patient to rule out other medical problems.
What Treatment Options Are Available ? Is Ayurvedic treatment for vitiligo safe and effective?
The goal of treating Vitiligo is to restore the function of the skin and to improve the patient's appearance. Therapy for Vitiligo takes longer time--it usually must be continued for 6 to 18 months. The choice of therapy depends on the number of white patches and how widespread they are and on the patient's preference for treatment. Each patient responds differently to therapy. However, our ancient Ayurvedic treatment with a modern and scientific research is proven to best in treating Vitiligo patients as it restores immunity. Patients are given customised treatment as per their case. Ayurveda is considered best vitiligo treatment among the treatments available as ayurvedic medicines for white spot treatment consists of herbs which work on body immunity system and to restore pigmentation.
How to treat vitiligo ? How can Ayurhealthline help in treating Vitiligo ?
Ayurhealthline as a Vitiligo Specialty clinic, concentrates its prime focus on treatment of Leucoderma and Vitiligo patients through its unique herbal formulations. Especially at Ayurhealthline each and every patient is treated according to the most ancient system of medicine, Ayurveda. At Ayurhealthline we treat and strengthen the immunity of the patient. The patient is basically given Anti Vitiligo kit herbal combination, which acts on the root cause of the disease so that to act faster with no relapse (repeat) of the disease. This unique Ayurvedic theory makes the difference. While treatment, immunity power of a patient is also developed to such extent so that his body can counteract to autoimmunity. Treatment is 100% Ayurvedic and have no side or adverse effects. For Leucoderma & Vitiligo treatment Ayurhealthline has combination of oral and applicable research based herbal medicines.
What is the Mechanism of Action & Result of the Herbal Anti vitiligo Formulations ?
Normally after few weeks of treatment with the herbal medicines of Ayurhealthline, initial squeezing of white patches can be seen. In some cases squeezing/compression/shrinking starts from the periphery of a patch. Visible change in skin colour appears as the area converts darker along the periphery of patches and the darker skin area formed by medicines gradually covers all the white/pale skin area resulting in closing of a patch, which later mixes up with normal skin. While in some cases small darker spots appear on the mid of white patches. Gradually, these darker spots spread and cover the entire area of a white patch converting the patch area into normal skin. In some cases the patch area converts pink/pale in colour in the beginning which later mixes with normal skin colour by getting darker. These are the three types of healing patterns found by the use of our herbal medicines. In some Vitiligo cases all the three patterns of healing took place resulting into faster recovery. Well, Positive thinking of a patient also helps to heal faster. This every patient should follow while treatment for his/her faster recovery. Ayurvedic cure for vitiligo can be done through herbs.
What are the diet restrictions in vitiligo?
Diet restrictions - Tamarind, Curd, Tomato, Citrus fruits & Citrus fruit items / juices as oranges, lemon even grapes are strictly restricted.Papaya should be restricted also. Oily / spicy food & non vegetarian food intake should be lowered. Milk intake to be lowered also. Medicines as Chyawanparasha are restricted as it contains Amla (a rich source of Vit. C). . Any eatable made of soda bi carb, stored sour things, pickles, tinned foods or drinks, chocolates, coffee or cocoa products should not be taken. Lifestyle related - Tight fittings which give marks on the skin, like elastic must be avoided which disturbs the skin blood circulation. Scratching, itching must be avoided. Any injury will give rise to new patch. Plastic and rubber wear should be avoided. Plastic Ornaments, Bindi or any Stickers on the skin should be avoided. Avoid playing or swimming in the sun between 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Diet restrictions are most important for vitiligo cure. More vitiligo diet restrictions can be found here https://www.ayurhealthline.com/Vitiligo-Food.html
How Can People Cope With the Emotional and Psychological Aspects of Vitiligo ?
The change in appearance caused by Vitiligo can affect a person's emotional and psychological well-being and may create difficulty in getting or keeping a job. People with this disorder can experience emotional stress, particularly if Vitiligo develops on visible areas of the body, such as the face, hands, arms, feet, or on the genitals.

The clever belt-less design means you can run, skip, jump and hop without a slight bounce or that drag that can also ruin your outfit that a traditional belted bumbag could have.
Keeping your essentials as close as possible to you makes for a greater travel experience as you know exactly where your valuables are. The ability to go hands-free means you are free to explore and enjoy your travels more. With added RFID protection, you know your cards won't be skimmed or 'read' by tech-savvy thieves.

Part of the aerodynamic Pursuit collection, the Pearl Izumi Men's PRO Pursuit Speed Jersey is an eager accomplice for high-intensity training rides in the stifling heat of summertime. Originally developed for the needs of the BMC PRO Team, the PRO Pursuit Speed Jersey employs P.R.O. Aero panels along the leading edges for a slippery aerodynamic profile. Going one step further for streamlined shaping, Speed Sleeves are elongated to reduce drag and the low-profile collar minimizes wind resistance.
Optimal cooling comes from its P.R.O. Transfer In-R-Cool fabric, which is treated with Coldblack technology for a cooler feel when you're pedaling under oppressive heat and searing sunshine. Coldblack reduces heat build-up with a reflective finish, especially important on darker apparel that's naturally prone to absorbing sunshine. This technology also repels harmful UV rays, as backed by its UPF 40+ rating.
Typically can get by with a large, and after reading the reviews I ordered an XL. No, that won't work either, wow very tight. Unless you want the race fit, can't recommend.


NASA's Dawn moves on to another asteroid - San Jose Mercury News: "After spending a year gazing at Vesta, NASA's Dawn spacecraft was set to cruise toward the most massive space rock in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter -- a voyage that will take nearly three years.
The departure was considered ho-hum compared with other recent missions -- think Curiosity's white-knuckle "seven minutes of terror" dive into Mars' atmosphere.
"It's not a sudden event. There's no whiplash-inducing maneuver. There's no tension, no anxiety," said chief engineer Marc Rayman of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which manages the $466 million mission. "It's all very gentle and very graceful."
Launched in 2007, Dawn is on track to become the first spacecraft to rendezvous with two celestial bodies in a bid to learn about the solar system's evolution."


Often detested in his own land, but often correct.
There is a condition called Actinic Keratosis, which has a very low (<1%) chance of becoming cancerous. They also have a 30% chance of just going away on their own, so I don't get too excited about them, but do treat them when I see them. If there are just a few, then they can be destroyed individually, but when there are dozens-to-hundreds, it is better to use "field treatment" that will destroy them wholesale. The advantage of these creams is that they get all of them, including ones too small to see. The disadvantage, is they all get irritated - very irritated - at once. I usually warn patients that they will hate me for 2 weeks, therefore come back in 6 months when I'll be their best friend.
Had one patient came back today, had only used the cream for 1 week instead of the 2 prescribed. He explained that "After a week, I had enough of detesting you (i.e. it was too much for him to tolerate for 2 weeks), so I stopped, and now I'm back to liking you."
My father was a locksmith, a Mr. Fixit of the old school; from him I got my mechanical skills. My mother was at various times a pre-school teacher, homemaker, and assistant locksmith, but an artist at heart (I have one of her few paintings); from her I get my artistic eye. Both I find useful in Dermatology.
Recently my my mechanical side came into play. A seven-year old girl had had her ears pierced, and the pin-backs pulled inside and the skin closed over them. Not sure how it happened, probably tightened too much, got swelling and a little infection, and the metal of the studs wasn't going to stretch. I saw her and arranged a time to do a small surgery to extract them, a time after her father could heavily coat the site with topical anesthesia. Such takes an hour to work, and even then not completely, still had to inject some local anesthesia. She didn't feel the first side, but definitely hurt putting in the local anesthesia on the second side. She sat in her father's lap, while he talked to her constantly ("talkesthesia"), both of which helped. Once frozen, I tried to work it out gently, but no go. The skin really had sealed over it. Then I slit the skin, reached in with a toothed forceps, and basically wrenched the backings out. She was trooper about it except for the few seconds during the second injection. I'm proud of having done it, but a good mechanic - or locksmith - could have done the same. Thanks, dad.
This was my second-to-last day doing consults at SAH, the former (and still partial) veterans hospital. As mentionned before, will be ceasing to do my monthly clinic there soon, partly because don't want to do the drive anymore, and partly because fewer and fewer veterans still there. I'd recruited a replacement for myself, but the administration hasn't followed through to bring her on board. I can only do so much; am tired of doing other people's jobs for them. Regardless, next month is my last day. It will be sad, but only a little. In my mind, I'm already detached, so it's hard to keep motivated today. Basic professionalism kept me going on the straight and narrow, but my heart not in it. I told the nurse for the clinic that if possible, I don't want any new patients for next month, just finish taking care of/disposing of the existing ones.
Or, I could have just titled this "various: mostly about family."
A small boast. The other day I had to do an excision on a 7-year old. I usually defer these until teen years when the child is ready and wants it, but the lesion was physically hurting her and mom talked her into doing it. I managed to do the local anesthesia (eg by injection) without her so much as saying "ouch" or otherwise seeming to be uncomfortable even once. Pinch the skin, keep talking to the patient ("talkesthesia" - which is not easy for me), and inject very, very, very slowly.
I don't know how I'd handle one of my kids going in for major surgery or other serious medical issue. For doctor's visits, Nom is the designated parent; I usually go too, but not always. For minor, but more-than-doctor's-office stuff, I'm the designated parent, and Nom sometimes goes also, but not always. Hedgefund, for all her fussiness has been fairly good with blood draws, ultrasounds, and other other more-than-doctor's-office stuff. Some of that credit goes to the staff at Montreal Children's Hospital, some she picks up from my attitude that medical things are normal, and some is she just has different things that do and don't bother her.
When Wallstreet describes / refers to something as "big," he always makes his voice BIG when he says it (eg "that big truck"). I don't mean louder, but he purses his lips, deepens his voice slightly, and makes the word resonate.
We have a Vietnamese landscape painting that belonged to Nom's paternal grandfather. Her father, who is a bit of a pack rat, had it at home and gave it to us when we moved to the new house. He had also tried to unload a bunch of other art on us which we declined. However this piece is a bit of family history. The grandfather had been in the Vietnamese Army, rising up to Colonel. He was initially in the Army under the French and a prisoner during the Japanese occupation, then when the country was divided in 1954, was in the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam). The painting was a gift from his junior officers when he was promoted to Colonel, out of their personal respect for him. I love history, and family history, and so am interested to know about this piece. Last night, I sat with FIL and asked him about the painting and about his father, which I think pleased him. BIL, other than having some self-identity as VN, doesn't care at all about VN history, culture, family history, etc (which is why we got that painting, not him). Nom cares, but not in an organized way. I am going to do a small write-up about the piece. I've done that for several items I've picked up over the years that are either antique, or have a personal/family story, or are otherwise unusual. I am doing this part for myself, but more so some day I'll be able to tell the kids about their great-great grandfather.
Am on call this weekend. Before you mock the idea of Dermatology on call ("What? Emergency Botox for an elopement?"), look up autoimmune blistering diseases, severe drug reactions, rapidly progressing infections, and erythroderma. For the squeamish, don't look at the pictures. (Have actually been on call for the past week and a half, but actually went in from home yesterday.) Don't usually have to go in, since have Residents taking first call. Usually just discuss with them by phone if there is anything from Emerg. However, this weekend, the Resident, although very sharp, is very junior. We had a bad call from Emerg (patient with known Pemphigus having a flare-up), and three very sick in-patients. They're stable, but hadn't actually laid eyes on them for a few days, and wanted to make sure they were okay over the weekend.
There's an odd quiet pleasure in being there on the weekend, like being on watch at night. It's quieter, and calmer, and there's a sense of camaraderie, and of purpose. Also had some intelligent discussion with the Resident, Attending Staff from another service, and looped in one of the Residents by email, which is stimulating. No doubt it would lose some of its charm if it were every night and more hectic, but I enjoyed it.

Q: "Object Moved To Here" ASP.NET MVC Redirect I've tried other solutions (including manually setting the response) but I can't get rid of this message or redirect properly.
Explanation:
I have a hardware that comunicates with my "web api" to register new users.
My web app is running behing a NoIP so every resource that gets accessed in
http://my_public_domain:8082 is forwarded to http://my_internal_domain:80.
That being said, I have to build my routes using the overload of Url.RouteUrl() as I need full qualified routes intead of relative ones.

*

*Url.RouteUrl("MyRoute") generates the route http://my_internal_domain/MyRoute

*Url.RouteUrl("MyRoute", dataValues, Request.Url.Scheme, hostName) generates the route http://my_public_domain:8082/MyRoute (notice that I have to change the domain because of the dns)

The problem is that when I try to redirect to that route I get a page with the message Object Moved To Here and a link to that route.
Initially I thought that this problem would happend only with external redirects, but if I just do a Redirect("http://www.google.com.br") for example I don't get this page.
I've tried to manually remove the response html body as sugested in another topic (Response.Redirect results in "Object moved to here") but this do not solve the redirect problem and I only get a blank page.

Norwegian Sky arrives in Cuba
Yesterday marked a historic day in the history of Norwegian Cruise Line as Norwegian Sky made her maiden call to the city of Havanna on the first of her weekly roundtrip cruises from Miami to Cuba.
Norwegian Sky, Norwegian Cruise Line's first ship to sail to Cuba, made her maiden call in the capital city of Havana yesterday morning. Norwegian Cruise Line executives, including Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings President & CEO Frank Del Rio and Norwegian Cruise Line President & CEO Andy Stuart, were onboard to celebrate the voyage.
"Today is a momentous day for Norwegian Cruise Line, our guests and our travel agent partners, as we open our doors to Cuba's natural beauty, warm people and historical treasures," said Frank Del Rio, president and CEO for Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings. "Sailing into the Havana Harbor today, we were welcomed by the Cuban people with open arms and excitement to share their incredible culture with our guests."
"Our cruises to Cuba offer our guests a unique opportunity to engage in true cultural immersion with the freedom and flexibility to explore this destination on their own timetable and as they choose," said Andy Stuart, president and CEO for Norwegian Cruise Line. "We look forward to our guests experiencing the wonderful hospitality of the Cuban people aboard each of our many sailings to Cuba to come."
Today's call was the first of Norwegian Sky's weekly roundtrip cruises from Miami to Cuba. The ship will sail a total of 53 four-day voyages to Cuba, with 52 including an overnight stay in the historical and culturally-rich capital of Havana.
Norwegian Sky will bring guests to the very heart of Havana, offering guests the opportunity to visit historical sites such as Old Havana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, view incredible art and listen to the vibrant local music scene, and visit with Cuba's warm and friendly residents.

During her four-day cruises to Cuba, Norwegian Sky will also call on Great Stirrup Cay, Norwegian's private island in the Bahamas. Great Stirrup Cay is a private island paradise, with white sand beaches, crystal clear waters, watersports galore and lushly landscaped beachside cabanas for those who wish to have a more exclusive island experience.
Great Stirrup Cay was recently enhanced to offer guests exciting new ways to enjoy the island with additional pathways, seating and shaded lounge areas, with additional features still to come, including a private luxury lagoon enclave for suite guests and guests of The Haven.

You have been an advocate for the health benefits of beer. Why is beer good for you?
Charles Bamforth: First and foremost it's good for you as long as it's done in moderation. It's pleasurable and enjoyable and a great social catalyst, as long as people treat it with respect. I always come back to a pub in the North of England. There's no television or dancing. There's just beer and conversation and it's very pleasurable and calming. I'm sure there's a psychological role.
But there's more than that… Silicate is present in beer in large quantity and that counters osteoporosis. Beer contains anti-oxidants and significant levels of B vitamins. The levels of folic acid represent an ample contribution to the daily recommended intake. And it has soluble fiber in substantial quantities.
Can you tell us about the use of enzymes in beer?
Bamforth: Brewing is fundamentally an enzyme-based process. It's fundamentally enzymes in action. The conversion of barley into malt occurs because of the enzymes within the grain. In the brewhouse the starch degradation into sugars is an enzyme process in terms of the amylases.
Some people still insist the only enzymes that should be used are the ones from the raw material. Equally, lots of people have appreciated that there are enzymes that can supplement the process and improve performance… For example, there's a long-standing use of enzymes that break down proteins to improve the shelf life of beer and make sure it doesn't go cloudy too quickly. There are also good reasons why people would take advantage of novel enzymes such as glucoamylase, which allows the brewer to get at all of the starch that is in the grain and eliminate any residual carbohydrate. This is part of the process of making low calorie beers.
What are some of the new trends in brewing?
Bamforth: The most exciting trend is the growth in the craft beer industry all over the world. I cringe when I use the term 'craft', because all brewers are craftspeople. But the newer brewing companies are very exciting. They bring with them different beers. In turn that encourages the bigger guys to experiment. That's good for the beer drinker, as long as at the end of the day (brewers) recognize that it's all about quality.
How can biotech companies help brewers to meet these new trends?
Bamforth: In a way, it's a question of educating the brewer, pointing out to the brewer how and why the use of these enzymes will make their lives easier and will make their product better, of educating them on new options for doing things.
Brewers use malted barley. There are many people who feel that you don't need to do the malting process you just use raw barley. But that is a step way too far for most in the brewing industry because they are wedded to malt. The whole notion of using raw grain with enzymes is offensive to many brewers.
The way in which a (biotech) company can best reach the heart of a traditional brewer is to say this is novel and it will allow you to do things you couldn't do before. Those are the enzyme solutions. (You have to) show a new way, but it needs to be within the remit of the existing process and not a remake of the process.
*Novozymes' solutions for brewing enable use of raw materials and lower energy consumption. By optimizing the use of raw materials, these solutions also help brewers to use locally-grown crops in different parts of the world, thereby saving brewers' money and benefiting local farmers.
*The Oktoberfest, which first took place in 1810, is the world's largest fair. It attracts around six million visitors every year to Munich, Germany, who come to drink the famous Oktoberfest beer.

ANCA urges Biden Administration reset of U.S. policy on Armenia and Republic of Artsakh
The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) is calling on the Biden Administration to condemn Azerbaijan's aggression, halt all U.S. military aid to Baku, and enforce sanctions against Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and other senior members of his regime as part of an overall reset of U.S. policy towards Armenia, Artsakh, and the broader Caucasus region.
"Left unchecked, Azerbaijan and our NATO 'ally' Turkey will continue to deploy the full force of their combined military capabilities to complete the Armenian Genocide, the planned, systematic destruction of the world's first Christian nation – a proud country of just three million people struggling to survive on the frontier of world freedom," stated ANCA Chairman Raffi Hamparian, in a December 14, 2021, letter to President Biden, shared with Senate and House Committees on Foreign Relations, Armed Services, and Appropriations.
Hamparian's correspondence to the White House sets forth that the first step in a U.S. – Caucasus policy reset is ending the Administration's "patently false 'both-sides' narrative by clearly and consistently calling out Azerbaijan as the belligerent that launched the September 2020 attack on Artsakh." Hamparian went on to note the key criteria for a policy reset on Armenia and Artsakh, including:
— withdrawing the waiver of Section 907 restrictions on U.S. aid to Azerbaijan
— providing $100 million in direct aid to assist the over 100,000 Artsakh Armenians ethnically cleansed by Azerbaijan
— imposing Global Magnitsky sanctions on Azerbaijani leaders for war crimes committed during the 2020 Artsakh and Armenia attacks
— condemning Azerbaijan's illegal detention of Armenian POWs
— conducting an investigation of Turkey's hiring of Syrian mercenaries and use of illegal munitions against Artsakh and Armenia civilians.
— Denouncing Turkey's material military backing of Azerbaijan's ethnic-cleansing of Artsakh and ongoing Azerbaijani aggression against Armenia
— Actively countering Turkey's attempts to arm-twist Armenia into "normalizing" bilateral ties at the expense of Artsakh's independence or justice for the Armenian Genocide.

Q: How to create a responsive text within column in Bootstrap? I've basically created a responsive website which is split into two. And I'm trying to add text in a row and 2 column format like so

Code:

          Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua

Sample of what I've done is given above. What's not included is an outer row and column class.
What am I doing wrong?

A: If you are trying to simply create two columns, the below code will work.  You need to close out your div tags and you also need to use a class that ends in '6'.  ending in '4' is going to give you 3 columns.  each row is divided into 12 columns with bootstrap, so using a col-*-6 will divide into two columns each using half of the space.

      Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua

      Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua


The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will audit about 800,000 private student loan accounts to determine if the trust responsible for the loans followed the law when collecting payments.
The CFPB got involved after it was revealed in July that records for at least $5 billion in student loans owned by National Collegiate Student Loan Trusts were missing important documents necessary to prove that the borrowers owed the money.
In some cases, faulty records said borrowers owed money for an education they never got at schools they never attended.
National Collegiate is a series of 15 trusts that manages about $12 billion in private student loan debt, including the $5 billion that's called into question.
National Collegiate does not have employees but instead subcontracts debt collection to its servicers.
Still, according to a federal court complaint filed by the CFPB, the loan servicers acting on behalf of the trusts sued borrowers who were in default. Of those lawsuits, the majority of the victories in court came only if borrowers didn't show up to defend themselves.
The CFPB questioned the validity of at least 2,000 lawsuits saying National Collegiate lacked the paperwork to prove ownership of the loans.
It also accused servicers of filing documents that "falsely claimed personal knowledge of the account records and the consumer's debt" and of notarizing more than 25,000 documents without witnessing the signatures.
According to the CFPB, this is a violation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and the Consumer Financial Protection Act.
The CFPB recommends that National Collegiate repay court costs, and garnished wages and Social Security checks of borrowers who lost court cases.
At least $3.5 million of the recommended payout will go to the 2,000 borrowers who made payments after they were sued despite the lack of appropriate paperwork proving the borrower owed money.
The CFPB will hire a private contractor to conduct an audit to determine if more of the 800,000 National Collegiate-held accounts should be added to this group — or if any of the $5 billion in questionable loans should be dismissed.
The remaining $15.6 million will be split evenly between fines paid to the U.S. Treasury and the CFPB's civil penalty fund.
In addition, the CFPB recommends that Transworld Systems, a National Collegiate student loan servicer, also pay a $2.5 million fine to the civil penalty fund.
In addition to the fines and restitution, the CFPB demands that National Collegiate and its servicers change its practices.
The CFPB has demanded that National Collegiate honor statutes of limitation that make it illegal to pursue payments for old loans. The CFPB found at least 486 cases in which lawsuits were filed after the statute of limitations had expired.
National Collegiate would also have to stop collection attempts on debt that lacks documentation proving the borrower owes the money and filing improperly notarized documents.
The proposed changes and fines must be approved by a judge before National Collegiate is required to pay fees or dismiss debt. The accounts in question are all private loans, not federal student loans.

Germany identifies first case of deadly coronavirus
Germany has declared its first confirmed case of the deadly coronavirus that broke out in China.
Bavaria's health department said late on Monday that a man in the town of Starnberg, 30 kilometers (19 miles) southwest of Munich, has been confirmed as suffering from the virus.
The patient is in "good condition" and isolated under medical observation, Bavaria's health department said in a statement posted on its website. It did not disclose any details of the patient's age or nationality.
"People who have been in contact (with the patient) have been informed in detail about possible symptoms, hygiene measures, and transmission channels," the health department said.
The virus, which broke out in the central Chinese city of Wuhan at the end of last year, has thus far killed 100 people, infected over 2,800 others, stranded tens of millions during the big Lunar New Year holiday and rattled global markets.
Cases linked to people who traveled from Wuhan have been confirmed in a dozen countries, from Japan to the United States.

[NOW SHOWING]
[COMING SOON]
Castle In The Ground
Canadian Strain
Interview: Justin Kelly (JT Leroy)
J.T. LeRoy was one of the most elusive literary figures of the past 30 years. He wrote three books: Sarah, The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things and Harold's End. Though fictionalized, he heavily insinuated these stories of childhood trauma, homelessness, prostitution and drug addiction were based on his own experience. As a heavily reclusive figure, he communicated with the outside world by telephone. Among his confidantes: Billy Corgan, Liz Phair, Bryan Adams, Marilyn Manson, Nancy Sinatra and Courtney Love. None of them could have guessed that he wasn't real.
Things started to take a turn when, in 2001, a diminutive person wearing sunglasses and a wig started to publicly claim to be LeRoy. Six years later, the scandal would break — J.T. Leroy was not real. The books were written by Laura Albert, who had convinced her boyfriend's younger sister, Savannah Knoop, to become the public face of Leroy. In 2008, Savannah Knoop published a memoir, Girl Boy Girl: How I Became JT LeRoy exploring the complex set of events that led her to become an imposter for six years.
The crazy story of literary deception has now been turned into a film, J.T. Leroy, starring Laura Dern, Kristen Stewart, Diane Kruger and Courtney Love. Based on Knoop's memoir, the film depicts the problematic dynamics between Savannah and Laura. It is a coming of age film that delves deep into gender fluidity and shifting identities. It is a complex portrait of "being," exploring the nature of self in an increasingly fragmented world.
Justin Kelly, who worked with Knoop to adapt her story, also directed the film. I spoke to him about his relationship with J.T. Leroy's work and bringing to life San Francisco in the early 2000s.
Justine Smith: What is your relationship with J.T. Leroy's writing?
Justin Kelly: In 2000, maybe 2001, my friend gave me Sarah. Shortly thereafter, I moved to San Francisco where J.T. was living. No one ever saw him. The more mysterious and fake he seemed, the more people believed and wanted to believe in him. I would see him in Interview magazine and Vanity Fair with the wig, the glasses and the shrouded face. I liked the book but I was way more interested in the persona; this weird Warholian artist type that was so cool.
I heard the rumours but I didn't think he was fake; it just seemed too implausible. So when the story broke in early 2006, I was still living in San Francisco and I was just as blown away as everyone else. I wasn't upset though. I wasn't one of, you know, the hardcore J.T. fans who felt betrayed. I just thought it was completely fascinating. Then by pure chance, I met Savannah through mutual friends right after her memoir came out. I read it and I couldn't believe how and why this happened.
JS: Some people felt betrayed but in a way, do you think this level of having this false persona might have actually added something to J.T. Leroy's books?
JK: In terms of the validity of the work, I feel like making the film and working on the project I have no skin in the game. I wasn't somebody talking to J.T. on the phone. He had a manager, a book agent, a very prominent group of friends — I wasn't in that camp. I had no sense of betrayal that would lead me to trash the books. Those reactions were maybe a little bit silly. If you read the books and thought they were great, then they're the exact same books you read. Nothing has changed at all.
I guess if someone were to re-read them now, knowing J.T. wasn't real… I don't know if it would make them better. I have no need to defend Laura and/or Savannah, my goal was to be very non-judgmental. Was it a brilliant form of performance art or were people unfairly tricked and betrayed? However, the books were all published under fiction and it is mentioned several times in the film. It's just that J.T. alluded that perhaps certain things in the book he had experienced in his life.
JS: At what point did you decide to make this into a film?
JK: I never would have thought of making the film without reading the memoir. It's the kind of story that I wouldn't even know where to start. Reading the memoir, I didn't expect it to be such an emotional rollercoaster. I didn't know exactly how the whole saga went down. There was a kind of rumour mill where people were saying they only wanted fame and money, but then I read the book and thought, "Oh my God!" It was far more complicated and had so many different levels. It was a coming of age story, but a coming of age story that happens to someone who is pretending to be someone else for six years. That is just wild. That was in 2008 and I basically just pitched myself to Savannah.
JS: Were there any challenges in adapting a true story for the screen?
JK: Luckily in the interim, waiting to cast, produce and finance, I made two other films based on true stories that were also scandalous and dealt with queer identities. It was kind of an accidental trilogy. They also took place roughly around the early to mid-2000s. I had gone through the wringer in terms of knowing how difficult it is when you're handed a true story. You're trying to fit an entire life into 100 minutes. It is really complicated because you can't cover all grounds.
For example, in conveying the fact that the young, impressionable Savannah looks up to this cool, older punk artist — to the point of agreeing to be J.T. — in the book, you have 10 small scenes and we pare it down to one. In this case, we had the character arriving fresh into San Francisco, even though Savannah would have already been living there. You have to boil things down to their essentials to fit into a film. As for changing real people into characters, it was about figuring out the purpose of this character and creating something new.
JS: How did you go about recreating this time period?
JK: Savannah and I both lived in San Francisco at the time. Getting it right was super important. Avery Plewes was our costume designer and I could just tell that she understood the world and had really good references. Also in terms of approaching this high period and making it realistic, we really wanted to sell this as early 2000 without making it distracting. She had a really great eye. For example, when [Savannah] first arrives in San Francisco she's wearing these baggy jeans. But, if you were to put her in the true size of baggy jeans from the era she'd look silly. So Avery was making these adjustments that were true to the era but not exactly the way things were. When I see her, I get the feeling like she's trying to be a little punk, but it's more like a boyish t-shirt and slightly baggy jeans.
For the production design, I worked with Jean [Andre Carriere], who worked with Gaspar Noé on Enter the Void. I couldn't believe how incredible his sets were. Just the immense amount of detail, like the wear and tear on doorknobs, fingerprints on the walls; so impeccable.
JS: How was it balancing out so many great talents and bringing everyone on the same page?
JK: Kristen and Laura were our first choices and it was a complete dream to work with them. We worked together for so long that it just felt a little bit normal? But, sometimes I'll look at pictures and think, if someone told me five years ago that I'd be working with Kristen Stewart and Laura Dern I'd probably lose my mind. Luckily we all just clicked immediately. I don't actually do a lot of "rehearsal," I prefer to go through the script page by page talking things through but I'm very collaborative. For people as seasoned as Kristen and Laura, of course, they are going to come with great ideas from their immense experience.
A lot of what Laura brought was improv. She'd put on the accent and the red wig and lord, would just go off and say the craziest things. It was incredible and so fun to watch.
Same with Courtney Love! We were dying to get someone who was in J.T.'s circle. I had no idea if she would say, "Hell no, I was tricked!" But, I think she kinda saw it as a fun full-circle moment.
JT: Do you think that there's something about the story that resonates about our current cultural moment?
JK: When we first started the project, the interest for me was this incredible story. It's the epitome of truth is stranger than fiction. You can never make something up like this ever. I couldn't get financed right away, but then these dicey things started happening. There was Trump, of course, but also other literary hoax stories like Can you Ever Forgive me? Hoax stories, in general, like the Fyre Fest scandal and the Theranos scandal. When you think something is real, on a scale as grand as J.T. or those who invested hundreds of millions into Theranos, then it all comes crumbling down. I don't know why people are drawn to it but they are.
JT: So much of J.T.'s identity is built through the phone. We are now hyper-connected with our smart-phones. Do you feel there is something to be said about connectivity in J.T.'s story?
JK: Now that you mention it, it is interesting that with each new phone technology we become more connected yet disconnected at the same time. We can text and face time and with Instagram, you can see what everyone's doing. We're far more in the know about everyone's lives but, talking in sweeping generalizations, all that is interesting in the context of JT because he was connected with so many people. He existed because of these intimate conversations. It is a very similar thing to what is happening now, his lack of connectivity made people connect with him even more. ■

I cooked the most adorable mini muffins the other day and can't believe I neglected to use the pan responsible for them in the last 5 years. I used this recipe in this muffin pan that I received as a shower gift and it renders the cutest baked goods in the entire world. These would make a great addition to any brunch table, or be a nice hostess gift for a dinner or holiday party. Too bad I ate them so fast I barely had time to admire their lovely appearance.
