Eight people lost their lives after a vehicle conveying them accidentally drove over landmines in Warabe village, few kilometres away from Gwoza local government headquarters in Borno State.
It was gathered that the victims, who were in a civilian convoy under military protection, veered off the road in an attempt to overtake another vehicle when their vehicle hit the device.
According to Military and civilian militia sources, Boko Haram jihadists may have been responsible for planting the mines. It was also gathered that seven more people from the other vehicle were injured from the explosion.
The convoy had left Gwoza and was heading to Pulka some 20 kilometres away on the border with Cameroon before the sad incident occurred.
Recall that in 2014 the Boko Haram terrorist seized Gwoza, which they renamed "Darul Hikma" ("House of Wisdom" in Arabic), and declared it the headquarters of their short-lived caliphate before it was later reclaimed by the Nigerian troops.
Despite the victory on the part of the Nigerian military, the group still launches sporadic attacks on troops and civilians.
Three people were injured and a mosque was partially damaged last month when grenades were fired into Gwoza from a hilltop outside the town.

Jeanne Alida O'Herne, dite Jan Ruff O'Herne, née le  à Bandung (Indes orientales néerlandaises) et morte le  à Adélaïde (Australie), est une militante des droits de l'homme néerlando-australienne, connue pour ses campagnes et ses discours contre les viols de guerre.

Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, elle a subi comme de nombreuses autres jeunes femmes l'esclavage sexuel de l'armée impériale japonaise. Cinquante ans après la fin de la guerre, elle a décidé de parler publiquement afin de demander des excuses officielles du gouvernement japonais et pour souligner la situation des autres femmes de réconfort.

Biographie
Jan Ruff O'Herne est née le  aux Indes néerlandaises, ancienne colonie de l'empire néerlandais située dans le sud-est de l'Asie. Pendant l'occupation japonaise des Indes néerlandaises, elle et des milliers de femmes néerlandaises ont été internées dans une caserne abandonnée à Ambarawa en Indonésie. Le  , elle et six jeunes femmes ont été prises par des officiers japonais dans une vieille maison coloniale hollandaise à Selarang, convertie en bordel militaire. Le premier jour, des photos des femmes furent prises et affichées à la zone de réception. Pendant les quatre mois suivants les femmes ont été violées et battues à plusieurs reprises. Peu avant la fin de la guerre, les femmes ont été déplacées dans un camp à Java ouest, où elles ont été réunies avec leurs familles. Les Japonais les ont averties que si elles racontaient à n'importe qui ce qui s'était passé, elles et leurs familles seraient tuées. En 1946, elle s'est mariée avec Tom Ruff, un ancien membre de l'armée britannique. Le couple a émigré en Australie en 1960.

Activisme politique

Dans les décennies qui ont suivi la guerre, Jan Ruff O'Herne n'a pas parlé de son expérience, et ce jusqu'en 1992, année où trois femmes de réconfort coréennes ont exigé de la part du gouvernement japonais des excuses et une compensation. Inspirée par les actions de ces femmes, elle a décidé de parler à son tour. En 1994, elle a en effet publié un mémoire personnel, intitulé Cinquante ans de silence, qui décrit la lutte à laquelle elle a fait face en devant vivre en secret son passé de victime de viols de guerre. En septembre 2001, elle a reçu l'Ordre d'Orange-Nassau du gouvernement des Pays-Bas comme reconnaissance de son travail en tant que porte-parole sur le sort des femmes de réconfort.

PALAIS DE TOKYO—THE SEQUEL?
Architects are descending on the empty spaces in the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. As Agence France-Presse reports, eighty-eight architectural teams responded to the call to transform the unused parts of the vast building into an integrated contemporary arts center. The existing Palais de Tokyo Site de Création Contemporaine—which was opened in 2002 under the directorship of Jérôme Sans and Nicolas Bourriaud and has been run by Marc-Olivier Walher since 2006—takes up only eighty-six thousand square feet of the building, while the remaining ninety-seven thousand square feet are to be revamped by 2012. While the French minister of culture launched the call to architects in December, the firms that have entered the competition have not yet been named, although the report notes that "well-known" agencies are among the eighty-eight candidates vying for the contract. A jury will preselect three architectural proposals by mid-March; the winner will be announced this July, and construction will start by the end of this year, with the opening by the beginning of 2012.
While the winning project will "integrate" the existing Palais de Tokyo, it remains unclear whether the architecturally integrated building will be run as one institution or as an institution within another. The report cites Walher as the director of the existing Palais de Tokyo but adds the names of Mark Alizart as the delegated director and Olivier Kaeppelin as the head of the "project" of the Palais de Tokyo. One thing is clear: The Centre Pompidou will not be creating a "Centre Pompidou-Alma" branch inside the building to show contemporary French artists. After much ado, this proposal from the Centre Pompidou president Alain Seban was rejected by the government in May 2009 in favor of Kaeppelin's project. Seban's proposal was estimated to cost fifty-six million dollars, while Kaeppelin's is estimated at twenty-eight million dollars.
"[The Pompidou proposal] risked making the spaces into a layered cake with the Centre Pompidou below and the Site de Création Contemporaine above," said Kaeppelin, who was the director of the arts delegation Délégation des Arts Plastiques (DAP) within the ministry of culture until January. As the new head of the Palais de Tokyo "project," Kaeppelin wants to have a space that will open up onto the courtyard and perhaps even the river Seine. The entrance will include an area called "the street" with small cultural businesses, catering, and video games. According to the report, there will also be a large space for monographic exhibitions featuring either contemporary French artists or contemporary artists with a link to the country. Smaller rooms will give "carte blanche" to artists, as well as to critics and to collectors. "Our luck is that our project is not expensive," says Kaeppelin. Of the estimated twenty-eight-million-dollar cost, nearly half will be provided by the minister of culture, while the rest will come from loans and patrons. While Kaeppelin's project may be more modest financially and easier in terms of branding with the existing Palais de Tokyo, it seems to be somewhat more ambiguous in terms of administration. Perhaps it's the DAP-Alma branch of the ministry of culture inside the Palais de Tokyo.
A "MONUMENTA" SUCCESS—WITH ANISH KAPOOR NEXT
The third edition of Monumenta—a contemporary installation by the French artist Christian Boltanski inside the Grand Palais in Paris—has proved a monumental success, according to a report by Agence France-Presse. During the special exhibition's run from January 13 to February 21, Boltanski's work—ambiguously titled Personnes(which literally means "people" but sounds like "no one")—attracted more than 149,700 visitors, with an average of 4,159 per day. That's a 5 percent increase over the last edition of Monumenta, when Richard Serra took over the palace with his "Promenande" of towering steel sculptures. Next up for Monumenta: Anish Kapoor, staged May through June of 2011.
CHRISTOPH BÜCHEL'S SWINGERS CLUB
A "swingers" club has moved into an art gallery with the stated aim of helping visitors to a Gustav Klimt exhibition confront their sexual inhibitions, according to BBC News. The Secession, a contemporary art venue in Vienna, has incorporated the club, named Element6, as part of a project by Swiss artist Christoph Büchel. Visitors must walk through it to reach one of Klimt's paintings. A spokesman said Büchel hoped to spark a scandal similar to when Klimt's Beethoven Frieze was exhibited in 1902. It has already attracted opposition from Austria's far-right Freedom Party, which issued no fewer than six press releases denouncing the project on Monday and Tuesday. "By abusing artistic freedom, the significance of Austria as a country of culture and of Vienna as a cultural capital is being dragged in the mud," said local Freedom Party politician Gerald Ebinger.
According to Germany's Bild newspaper, local councilor Ursula Stenzel, who initially approved the installation, subsequently got cold feet. "I signed the approval only under massive protest," she was quoted as saying. "It was always spoken of as an art project with a nightclub but never as a swingers' club." Vienna's mayor, Michael Haeupl, added that he did not approve of the club, but noted that outraged politicians and newspapers were playing into the artist's hands.
Klimt's painting Beethoven Frieze was once considered obscene and pornographic because of the way women's bodies were depicted, but it is now seen as one of the Austrian artist's key works. The painting is on display in the basement of the Secession, and visitors must pass through the swingers' club to reach it. While the club only opens at night, long after the art hall closes, daytime visitors aged eighteen and older pass through its dimly lit rooms, complete with mattresses, bar, and spa bath. The club, which is normally located in another part of town, said its participation "aims to give as many people as possible the opportunity to overcome their inhibitions."
PAMUK PAYS BACK STATE FOR HIS "MUSEUM OF INNOCENCE"
While Istanbul enjoys the title of European Cultural Capital this year, the city's most renowned writer—the 2006 Nobel-prize-laureate Orhan Pamuk—has decided to refrain from enjoying any state funding for his own contribution to the event. As the Süddeutsche Zeitung's Kai Strittmatter reports, Pamuk paid back a substantial sum—the first installment, plus interest, of a $500,000 state subvention—which was slated to cover part of the one-million-dollar construction costs of his "Museum of Innocence" which the author has been building in the city's Cukurcuma area.
Named after the author's latest novel, the Museum of Innocence was to open in the summer as the highlight of this year's festivities in the city. Yet the Istanbul cultural and literary elite did not approve of the state giving away funds to an internationally successful author like Pamuk. "What kind of Nobel-laureate writer needs the support of the state?" asked Özdemir Ince, a popular columnist for the Turkish newspaper Hürriyet. When the criticism in the media did not abate, Pamuk not only paid back the subvention but also removed his project from the event. While construction at the site continues, there's no word when the museum will open.
As Strittmatter notes, Pamuk's pay-back and refusal to participate is not the first problem to dampen the event. While Essen and Pecs are also enjoying the status of European Cultural Capital this year, Istanbul has the largest budget of all three cities at an estimated $250 million. Yet as cultural figures have noted with critique, more than 70 percent of that amount has gone to construction and restoration projects in historical mosques and palaces instead of going to cultural events and art institutions. Moreover, many of these projects were not given to experts but directly to construction firms, which critics claim have close connections to the government. While the director of the 2010 organization committee has changed twice, the cultural advisors for the event have resigned in droves so that the event eventually ended up in the hands of the government. Departing cultural advisors claimed that the organization of the event had suffered from corruption, lack of transparency, and provincialism. In light of such allegations, Pamuk's move may have been a bid to save the values behind the Museum of Innocence.
VANCOUVER'S CULTURAL FUNDING EXTINGUISHED WITH OLYMPIC FLAME?
While the Winter Olympics in Vancouver closed with much fanfare, the city's art and cultural institutions may be looking forward to harder times for funding in the future. Writing in the Süddeutsche Zeitung, the director of Rotterdam's Witte de With center Nicolaus Schafhausen offers a short tour of the more than 200 cultural projects and events created for the Winter Olympics, from Rafael Lozano-Hemmer's high-tech light installation to Ken Lum's sculpture Monument for East Vancouver, just one of twenty public sculptures in "Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad" project.
Starting this week, "the bill for this form of self-expression will be paid," writes Schafhausen, adding that both the city of Vancouver and the surrounding province of British Columbia are broke. Up to 90 percent of cultural and arts funding will be slashed in an effort to save after the splurge of the games. Local politicians already made the dire announcement before the games began when it had become clear that the billion-dollar bill would not be fully covered by sponsors and by the sale of media rights. "Will the new public space sculptures (created for the games) become the gravestones of public cultural facilities?" asks Schafhausen. In the future, cultural funding will apparently go first and foremost to institutions, organizations, and artists who also pay high taxes—a policy that will hurt experimental and non-institutional art forms.
According to Schafhausen, the Olympic flood of funding for arts and culture came with some startling restrictions. Artists were obliged by contract with the Vancouver Olympic Committee (Vanoc) to refrain from criticizing the games. Schafhausen cites the contractual gag clause: "The artist must at all times refrain from making any negative or derogatory comments about Vanoc, the Olympic and Para-Olympic Games, the Olympic movement in general, and / or any other private and other sponsors linked with Vanoc." For some artists, the critique had already evaporated when the funding was distributed. "There is no more critical distance," said filmmaker and artist Judy Radul, who received two hundred thousand dollars in funding to cover the costs of her multimedia installation World Rehearsal Court. "We have all become part of the neoliberal political system," said Radul. "When it's about money, power, and visibility, we're all good at distorting the facts."

NSA, US Constitution
Obama's Political Surveillance
He proposes to change antiterror programs that he admits are necessary and haven't been abused.
President Obama finally joined the surveillance debate on Friday with a conflicted address, and perhaps it would have been better had he stayed out. His new antiterror proposals will do little to secure American privacy but they might make the country less safe.
Rhetorically Mr. Obama tried to satisfy all sides, meaning he fishtailed between irreconcilable positions. There's what the President knows to be the reality that these programs are valuable and haven't been abused. Then there are the critics that he is attempting to appease lest they succeed at turning Congress and the public against the programs.
Mr. Obama could rally enough support on Capitol Hill to retain the programs if he wanted, and such an appeal would include some of his Friday highlights: The world is more dangerous than ever due to "threats like terrorism, proliferation and cyber-attacks," and post-9/11 surveillance has "prevented multiple attacks and saved innocent lives, not just here but around the globe as well." Nothing suggests that "our intelligence community has sought to violate the law or is cavalier about the civil liberties of their fellow citizens." All of this is true.
But Mr. Obama then argues that the National Security Agency must be more constrained because of "the danger of government overreach." The most state-aggrandizing President since LBJ, and man who won't discipline the IRS for its abuses, also invoked America's "traditions of limited government." This is doubly ironic given that the White House widely leaked to reporters that Mr. Obama believes he can be trusted with the surveillance status quo but a future Republican can't.
Thus Mr. Obama announced that he will pursue or impose changes to NSA practice that he implicitly concedes are unnecessary. Rarely has national defense been so needlessly politicized.
Mr. Obama asked Congress to end the bulk collection of telephone metadata by government, even as he explained that the program would be vital "if a bomb goes off in one of our cities and law enforcement is racing to determine whether a network is poised to conduct additional attacks." Some third party will do the job instead, and the NSA will only conduct individual searches with court approval.
Mr. Obama never explained why a nonprofit consortium would be more trustworthy, secure or less prone to political spying than the NSA, nor why privacy would be any more protected. Let's hope the folks behind Target's cyber security aren't hired to do the job. The result of these changes could be that Chinese hackers will have better access to U.S. metadata than the NSA.
The Attorney General will also ask the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to start reviewing all metadata queries during the "transition" to this third-party system. Come again? The judiciary is vested with the power to arbitrate cases under laws passed by Congress, not create ad hoc policy with the executive, so this is one more example of presidential buckpassing.
The President says the NSA will abandon its standard practice of following suspicious phone call patterns over three "hops," or phone calls of separation, and instead go with merely two. He offered no rationale for not following as far as the data lead, so this is also a win for politics and terror cells three steps removed from a tip.
The worst idea is what he called "the unprecedented step" of extending privacy rights to foreigners, and he's right about unprecedented. Heads of state deemed friendly will enjoy immunity from U.S. eavesdropping as their spooks continue to spy on the U.S., while other still-to-be-devised protections like those that used to apply only domestically will flow overseas to non-U.S. nationals. This will have no reciprocal benefit since no other intelligence service will believe the U.S. would be so dumb as to hamstring itself this way.
Even when he defended the NSA, Mr. Obama couldn't resist his moralizing impulses. He observed that "totalitarian states like East Germany offered a cautionary tale of what could happen when vast, unchecked surveillance turned citizens into informers, and persecuted people for what they said in the privacy of their own homes."
To say that an evil communist dictatorship explains anything about a self-governing, politically accountable democracy is insulting to Americans. No wonder our intelligence personnel are increasingly demoralized. Such rhetoric merely empowers the paranoids and incendiaries, who still say his reforms are inadequate because they don't kill surveillance altogether.
The saving grace will have to be Congress, believe it or not. Speaker John Boehner responded with a 115-word statement that was far more eloquent than Mr. Obama's 43-minute speech, declaring that the House "will not erode the operational integrity of critical programs that have helped keep America safe." His fellow Republicans should follow that lead.

Makeup can do magical things. It adds dramatic effect for a night out, helps us look fresh the next morning, and disguises imperfections like wrinkles, pimples and skin spots. But unfortunately, outdated makeup trends can have the opposite effect, making us look older and drawing attention to the things we'd rather hide.
Let's start, for example, with foundation. Most people don't pay enough attention to colour matching, causing the tone of their foundation to clash with their natural skin hue. Others make the mistake of caking on concealer, when it should be used as the name suggests – to conceal imperfections, rather than plaster the entire surface of the face.
So what can you do to avoid these outdated trends? This graphic explains the common makeup mistakes people make and how to correct them with timeless techniques for a flawless, more youthful complexion.

Whether you're a beginner or a pro, one never stops learning, especially in the kitchen. Every day is a new adventure, a new challenge and every day you learn something that makes life simpler. So, this Teacher's day, we've got 7 cooking tips from the master chef's kitchen that every new cook or for that matter even an experienced one must follow to have a safe and glitch free cooking experience.
When you're browsing the net and come across a really simple and interesting dish that you would love to make. Before jumping straight into the kitchen and firing those burners, read the recipe carefully twice or thrice – look for the necessary ingredients and keep them on your kitchen table. It's better to be prepared than run around the kitchen looking for things while your food is burning relentlessly on the gas.
Once you've got your ingredients well, prep them before you start the actual cooking process. Keep all the veggies chopped and masalas blended before-hand. You think you can chop veggies simultaneously while you cook, and you surely can. However if these are still your initial days in the kitchen – prep will go a long way in keeping the entire cooking process glitch free and your nerves calm.
I can't stress enough on how important this is. The taste of your final dish depends largely on the quality of ingredients you use. Low-quality or stale produce won't ever be able to create the magic fresh ingredients can. A dish can taste amazing even with the simplest ingredients as long as they're fresh and will also ensure that you get the best nutrients from your food.
This might seem like a no-brainer; however, it is always recommended that the pan handle must be pushed to the sides of the pan to minimize errors and potential accidents. Since you're going to be moving around in the kitchen, you don't want your body to accidentally hit the handle; resulting in the pan or the vessel to fall off the gas stove and scar you with piping hot food. Better to be safe than sorry.
When you plan to cook something, make sure that your pan is well heated before you add the ingredients. Cooking in a cold pan and waiting for it to heat up, especially when searing things like meat, will make the ingredient lose all of its moisture and leave you with a dry and chewy final dish. Just like how you keep track of temperature in an oven, you must do the same on a gas burner too.
Be generous and thoughtful with spices, they not only bring flavor but also texture to the curry, but you need to find a balance between the heat and flavour. Allow the whole spices to crackle and pop before adding other ingredients - this releases the flavours into the cooking medium. Fry the ground masala on a reduced flame, so that it retains its color and taste. Try to use ghee instead of vegetable oil.
You tried something for the first time and it tastes awful? Congratulations! You're now one step closer to being a great cook. You just have to learn from the mistakes you made, keep your spirits up and cook on! Failure doesn't mean you hit stop, it just means you're not done yet.

Hahn, FDA Center Directors Discuss What's Necessary to Better Address Rare Diseases
Posted 24 February 2020 | By Zachary Brennan
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Monday held a public meeting on rare disease product development, and senior leaders provided some perspective on what their respective centers are working on to help those with rare diseases.
FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn opened the afternoon discussions by explaining how important it is to drive rare disease drug development by unleashing the data from very small populations. He addressed the need to integrate more data sources to modernize FDA's approach and how sometimes FDA has to revisit an initial decision based on new data, which is a sign of a healthy, learning organization.
Echoing comments made last month, Hahn also stressed the importance of the patient voice and ensuring FDA is aligned with what patients want. "We will incorporate your input into our decision making," he said.
The comments come as approvals of orphan drugs, defined as drugs that treat a condition that affects less than 200,000 persons in the US, have risen significantly over the past two years. And the Alliance for Regenerative Medicine said in a report released Monday that there are currently 647 ongoing clinical trials in rare diseases, including more than 500 for gene therapies and gene-modified and cell-modified immunotherapies.
After Hahn spoke, Peter Marks, director of FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, Janet Woodcock, director of FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, and Jeff Shuren, director of FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health, discussed what their centers are working on with respect to rare diseases.
Marks discussed some of the difficulties companies have in manufacturing cell and gene therapies for such small populations and how even the not-so-rare diseases become rare when you split them apart into their different genetic mutations.
He also noted that CBER is working on guidance to help companies in cases where a product made with one manufacturing technique can be slightly modified to address a different disease, and whether the drugmaker will be able to just modify that initial application.
Dialogue between FDA and the European Medicines Agency on rare diseases is progressing, although Marks said, "It's not perfect yet." However, he said he attended a meeting last week with the World Health Organization to discuss more opportunities to harmonize regulations in the rare disease space.
Both Hahn and Marks also mentioned Novartis' spinal muscular atrophy therapy Zolgensma (onasemnogene abeparvovec) as "truly incredible" and a clear sign of progress.
Woodcock, meanwhile, stressed that the greatest challenge is still that, "We don't know enough about rare diseases and we can't find enough patients to enroll for trials." She also stressed the need to develop more registries and natural history studies.
She noted that FDA has received a number of applications with a single patient in mind (discussed further in this editorial) and that new policies are coming.
On the device side, Shuren stressed the need for new, progressive approvals, which is an idea that's been floated since at least May 2017. He explained how companies' return on investments can be difficult in the rare disease space because as soon as a new device is brought to market, other companies can re-engineer around intellectual property, making exclusivity periods "generally meaningless."
He also noted that there have not been a lot of devices developed under the Humanitarian Device Exemption pathway and "we need to find ways to fix it." And he stressed that there has been "very little innovation" in the pediatric device space.

I feel like not much has changed since his 18 month update. He's still a tiny chappy, in 12-18 month clothes and size 4 nappies and size 5 shoes. He's had a few more teeth come through lately but I honestly can't see in his mouth long enough to know how many teeth he has!
S usually sleeps through but every now and again has a regression or cough that makes him wake in the night. When he does sleep through it's usually for 13 hours and he wakes up about 8am which is funny as his older brother was always a 6am riser! S still has a bottle of milk for bed, a habit we took a long time to kick with W too! And S still has a 2-3 hour nap (12-2/3) every day.
For the last month or so now he's been absolutely obsessed with 'rah rah' which translates as 'wheels on the bus goes round and round'. Every time he wakes up he dies a driving motion with his arms and asks for 'rah rah' which means he wants to watch endless YouTube versions of wheels on the bus! Or the book version he has of the song..
And when he's had enough of 'rah rah' the other thing he's obsessed with is Baby TV, he loves it!
So I think it's safe to say he prefers music and visual sounds to playing with toys. He's always loved music, he got a load of musical instruments and toys (e.g. Baby stereo) for Christmas!
I don't think he's picked up any new words since his last update but I'm not too worried as he still communicates well, babbles a lot and has his own words for things e.g. Medicine is manamana!
He can recite a load of animal sounds on demand, and point to things. Talking of animals he loves 'quack quacks' and 'cat cats'!
Our house has been a bit of a building site but is finally done, so plenty of room to play around in! We had a week in Spain in January which I'll blog about. And he experienced his first snow a month or so ago…. he was not very impressed!
Generally enjoys his food and still loves making a mess out of it. Loves exploring softplays… he's off!

There are three principal subgroups that are considered as a facelift:
Forehead lift (Front-lift)
Middle of face lift (Midface-lift)
Chin/Neck lift (Neck-lift)
Most of the time, all three subgroups are implemented together, using the combination of all through various techniques.
In general, the aging process of the skin is caused by the weakening of the body's connective tissue, the repetitive mimic gestures, the external influences of UV radiation, cold, heat, drought, humidity, etc., along with the effects of gravity, pulling down the subcutaneous structure of the skin, also known as "sagging" of the cheeks and the chin.
The principle of a face lift is not, as often mistakenly assumed, a mere tightening of the skin ( also known as the Greyhound-look, as seen in earlier days as stretched-looking facial features), but rather concerns the return or relocation (repositioning) of the dropped down tissue and muscle in the subcutaneous area, responsible for the permanent fixation of anatomic structure.
Since many nerves and vessels are located in the facial area, often, several layers of tissue are worked on in order to achieve optimal access paths with minimum risk of injury. A cut against the hair line or a few centimeters inside the hair region is chosen depending on the height of the hairline on the forehead. Tightening the forehead automatically lifts the eyebrows and thus in turn indirectly raises the eyelids. Sometimes, some muscles that are responsible for the "evil eye" in the root of the nose and eyebrows are partially severed so that even the most serious facial expression wrinkles can be treated.
The midface (Midface-lift) is remodeling of the zygomatic region (the plump zygomatic arch area that reflects youthfulness) and the smoothening of the nasolabial fold, which also creates a lift in corners of the mouth. In this case, a cut from the temple around the ear up to the earlobe is required.
In the Chin/neck (Neck-lift) area, the sunken lower cheek areas are lifted, and in some cases, a liposuction under the chin (also known as "double chin") is performed, reuniting the muscles of the neck and streamlining the angle of the chin. In this case, a cut from the earlobe to the area of the neck's hair line is performed and, in some cases, a small incision is made just behind the chin.
In many cases the excess skin is removed, so that the final effect results in a balanced, rounder and more youthful contoured face, simultaneously resulting in a tighter and less wrinkled skin.
Facelifts are extremely complex and difficult operations that first require a lengthy discussion with the patient, in order for the doctor to understand and visualize the wishes and ideas provided to him with optimum results. After a thorough analysis and study of one's anatomical facial form, detailed discussions and explanation of the possible solutions, aftercare and results, the date for operation can be then determined and it should only be performed by a skilled operating doctor.
As the final result, a significant rejuvenating effect preserving your personal facial expression should be achieved, making you look 10 to 15 years younger and fresher! The inner satisfaction and joie de vivre can then ultimately radiate outwards.

Prin Goonchorn (; born July 21, 1995) is a Thai professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Thai League 2 club Ayutthaya United.

Early career
Prin was born in Bangkok, but grew up in Chiang Mai. He attended Wachirawit School, where he joined the school's football team. He twice represented Chiang Mai for the Prime Minister Cup. After graduating secondary school from Rajavinit Bangkaepankhum School in Bangkok, he decided to pursue a professional football career and signed with Phayao F.C. in 2013, but spent two seasons as a second substitute goalkeeper.

Club career
He began making appearances in 2015, and became Phayao's primary goalkeeper. His appearances earned him a contract with Ratchaburi Mitr Phol in the Thai League (T1), but again as a second substitute. He made only one appearance for the team, in the Thai League Cup, where the team faced an upset loss 0–2 to Chanthaburi. He transferred back to Phayao for the 2017 season, but was released before the end of the first leg due to the club's financial difficulties. He briefly returned to university studies before being invited to try out for the local Thai League 4 team JL Chiangmai United, with which he signed a six-month contract. Beginning again as a second substitute goalkeeper, he eventually became a starting player toward the end of the 2017 season, which saw JL Chiangmai promoted, as well as entering the semi-finals in the FA Cup (losing 0–3 to Bangkok United). He became the only T4 player to be called up for the U-23 National Team for the M-150 Cup. He has signed with Thai League 2 team Thai Honda F.C. for the 2018 season. In 2022, playing for Ayutthaya United on loan, he scored an amazing goal from long distance in the first match of the season, kicking a free kick and surprising Kasetsart F.C.'s goalkeeper.

After debilitating car crash, this Special Olympics athlete defies odds and becomes gold medalist
Brita Hall at Special Olympics event.
At just nine-weeks-old, Manitoba's Brita Hall was in a car crash that resulted in the loss of the cognitive function of her brain.
Doctors said she had a 10 per cent chance of ever walking or talking.
"No way," her mother Birgit defiantly replied at the time, determined to prove the prognosis wrong.
The mother of three wanted her daughter to enjoy the outdoors with her older brothers and take part in family activities. She took Brita to the pool every week and by the time she was 10-months-old she was swimming.
At the age of five, she took her first steps, by eight, she spoke her first words.
Today, the 51-year-old is a Special Olympics gold medalist. She's travelled the world competing in cross-country skiing and athletics as a long distance runner.
"She's really always come through – with the support of Special Olympics and the family," said Birgit. "Every success, every medal made it more important to move on, to give her the confidence to aim higher and try harder."
Brita at a Special Olympics event with her mom and dad.
Introduced to Special Olympics Manitoba in 1980, Brita was just 11-years-old when she competed at her first Provincial Games and brought home gold in the 800-metre event. She's competed in almost every Provincial Games since.
"I don't know what I would have done without Special Olympics – it's just part of her life," Birgit said.
It's not only taught her fine motor skills, but also the value of teamwork, commitment and punctuality.
For Brita, it's all about the lasting friendships.
"I can meet some friends and I can socialize, travel," Brita said.
Her fondest Special Olympics memory dates back to 1993, when she competed in cross-country skiing at her first Special Olympics World Winter Games in Schladming, Austria. She won her first gold medal on the world stage.
Brita Hall competes in cross-country skiing at the Special Olympics Canada Winter Games Cranbrook 2016.
"It was pretty special," Brita recalled.
She's since received Female Athlete of the Year Awards from both Special Olympics Manitoba and Canada. In 2014, she was the first athlete to receive the Dr. Frank Hayden Lifetime Achievement Award – a prestigious national award given to athletes who exemplify the spirit, philosophy and goals of the Special Olympics movement.
"She just went from success to success – she truly is the example of what you can do when you put your mind to it," said Birgit. "We couldn't have imagined anything like this."
"Special Olympics has done a lot for us."


Happy mcgarrybowen, the creative idea shop from Dentsu Aegis Network, has appointed Vimal Singh as senior creative director and Varun Khullar as creative director in its Gurgaon creative team. Vimal Singh moves from Ogilvy, Gurgaon while Varun Khullar moves from Happy mcgarrybowen Bangalore after a three year stint at the H.Q. to bolster operations at Happy mcgarrybowen, Gurgaon.
"I've always loved the kind of work Happy mcgarrybowen has done over a decade and when the opportunity to join the team came along, it didn't take me a moment to grab it. And just a couple of days with the energetic, fun, happy shiny folks here, one realizes how aptly the place is called 'Happy' mcgarrybowen and how that shines in their work. I'm really excited about my role and have happily dived headfirst into it." says Vimal.
"I've been a part of the bucktoothed brigade for a good three years now and each has been more interesting and challenging than the previous. I joined the Bangalore office as a glorified daydreamer who helps big brands sell their stuff. But the forging torches at Happy mcgarrybowen moulded and chiseled me into something resembling a Creative Director. And so I felt I was ready to carry the happy flag and their way of working to the newly minted Gurgaon office. The clients are new, the team is new but it has the same vibe. And that's what Happy is. A feeling. It is an ever-changing, ever-evolving organism that's full of surprises. Like the opportunity of writing a quote for my first press release." says Varun.


The holiday event begins next week and comes with a new Tavern Brawl.
The great feast of Noblegarden, an annual tradition in the World of Warcraft realm of Azeroth, is coming to Hearthstone next week. Beginning May 9 and running through May 13, the Tavern will offer special festive emotes, a free Golden Eggnapper and Golden Devilsaur Egg, and a new Tavern Brawl called "Everybunny Get In Here."
In the Brawl an egg will spawn at the start of each turn, which you can paint using "a deck of colorful dyes and special Noblegarden cards," along with ten random Class cards. Different dyes apply different buffs, and each egg will hatch into a cute little minion at the start of the following turn, or a bunny if you opt not to dye it.

Harold Maxwell-Lefroy
The development of Rentokil
Harold Maxwell-Lefroy, the founder of Rentokil, was born in 1877 in the village of Crondall in NE Hampshire, only around 10 miles from the current Rentokil Initial headquarters in Camberley. He studied natural sciences at King's College Cambridge, achieving a first class degree in 1898 and a masters in 1902. It was here that he started a lifelong interest in insects.
After a short time as an assistant master at a school, Seaford College, he took up a post in the Caribbean in 1899 as a lecturer in economic entomology. He was then appointed Entomologist at the Imperial Department of Agriculture in the West Indies from 1899-1903.
He spent several years studying crop pests and advising landowners on crop protection to help them recover from a hurricane that had caused extensive damage in 1899. He published his findings in numerous publications, including the West Indian Bulletin, Barbados Bulletin and the Official Gazette of Barbados. He became a Fellow of the Zoological Society of London in 1902.
Maxwell-Lefroy became the first person to be appointed Imperial Entomologist to the government of India in 1903 and stayed in the post until 1912. During this time he wrote a series of ground-breaking books, including Indian Insect Pests (1906) and Indian Insect Life: a manual of the insects of the plains (tropical India) (1909), an 800-page guide with many hand-painted illustrations and still in print. He also set up the entomology department in the newly created Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) at Pusa in Bihar in 1905, now relocated to New Delhi.
While assigned to India Maxwell-Lefroy married Kathleen O'Meara, whom he had met in British Guiana, and had three children. Tragically two children died of what they believed were insect-borne diseases, so in 1910 he decided to return to England with his wife and surviving child, Cecil. They moved to Strawberry Hill, Twickenham, where he took leave of his government position for nearly two years.
Before he returned to England he had arranged to give a course of lectures on entomology at Imperial College, London. In his inaugural lecture in March 1911 he showed an insight that is still relevant today:
"It is only lately that the significance of the insect world has become apparent. … The opening up to agriculture of new tropical countries, the increasing competition in the cultivation of tropical products, the discovery of the part played by insects in disseminating human disease, have brought entomology to the front and have shown that, far from being a science concerned solely with the minute classification of interminable varieties and species, it is a science which has great significance for man, and one which requires to be developed in serious earnest if we are to be in a position to harvest our crops, to cope with disease, and to populate tropical areas successfully."
Imperial College appointed Maxwell-Lefroy as their first Professor of Entomology in 1912. The following year he was given the honorary position of curator of the insect house at London Zoo and appointed Entomologist to the Royal Horticultural Society at Wisley in Surrey.
One of his lectures at Wisley was turned into an RHS pamphlet published in 1916, titled, On keeping fruit trees clean, that was reprinted six times, the last in 1942 (copies are in the RHS library). He held the position of Professor of Entomology at Imperial College until his death in 1925.
Frank Baines, the Director of the Office of Works (a government department) contacted Maxwell-Lefroy in 1914 to find a method of exterminating death watch beetles infesting the roof timbers of Westminster Hall, at the Houses of Parliament.
Professor Maxwell-Lefroy concocted a fluid that successfully treated the timber, composed of 50% tetrachloroethane, 40% trichloroethylene, 6% cedarwood oil, 2% soap, and 2% paraffin wax. This led to the first idea that there could be a business in timber treatment.
On the outbreak of the First World War he was sent to India to help revive the silk industry, but also took up the cause of British troops affected by pests such as lice. He was then transferred to the Middle East under the Mesopotamian Expeditionary Force to improve hygiene of soldiers through pest control. This work led to him co-authoring a paper in 1917 on fly poisons for outdoor and hospital use (2).
For his next assignment he was shipped to Australia to investigate weevil infestations of wheat stored in port in Sydney for transport to the UK. He found that poor storage conditions allowed rain to get onto the wheat, which made it damp and encouraged the weevils. He advised on improving storage conditions and devised a treatment for the grain.
After the War he returned to his position at Imperial College and contributed to a series of wildlife films, called Secrets of Nature, that used pioneering filming techniques.
Professor Maxwell-Lefroy also started marketing his timber treatment fluid to architects, builders, furniture makers and antique dealers. He recruited Bessie Eades to run the business and established a company called Disinfectants and General Products Ltd on 29 September 1924. He registered the trademark 'Rentokil' for his product, having been refused his first option of Entokill by the Board of Trade.
At a time when death watch beetles could be a nuisance to church goers because they were such a common infestation in old timbers, it would seem that there was a business opportunity to be exploited.
Years later, however, it was discovered that he had given free advice to over one hundred churches and cathedrals. Even his son later commented that his business instincts were not great and the business was a drain on his finances.
The Professor tested chemicals for their toxicity on flies in his lab at Imperial College while taking few precautions for his own safety. In October 1925 while alone in his laboratory he was overcome by fumes. He was found unconscious some time later by his wife who was worried because he had not gone home. He was taken to St George's Hospital in London, but died a few days later without regaining consciousness.
The Annual Report of Council of King's College Cambridge described his achievements: "During his nine years in India he revolutionised previous methods of studying the insect pests of agricultural crops, he carried out personally and superintended an amazing amount of research of many serious pests, and devised practical remedies."
An article in the Morning Post in April 1926 said: "His ambition was by his own efforts and those of his pupils to organise an army of fighting entomologists, men who had been trained to study the habits of pests and who would be capable of applying the knowledge obtained to each economic problem as it arose."
