Submitted Queries:
I am trying to get information on Jane Cameron, born 1775, in South Carolina, and died 1822, in Enfield, White County, Illinois. She married Joshua Fields, born 1771, in Virginia, and died 1820, in Enfield, White County, Illinois. These people were my 4th great-grandparents.
Please contact Thom Adams, P.O. Box 461, Tell City, Indiana 47586 or digitaleye@psci.net.
I am researching a couple of Cain families in White County around the time of the Civil War and earlier, and I found the names of three men with that surname who likely were two brothers and a cousin. I am wondering if you can help me discover their relationship.
The particulars (from the White County Historical Society book, Veterans of White County, Illinois):
George CAIN, Enfield, private, Co. C 40th Illinois Infantry; August 26, 1861 -- July 24, 1865.
Joshua CAIN, White County, pvt, Co. G, 87 Illinois Infantry, August 14, 1862 -- June 16, 1865. Kitty Sweeten Cemetery. GHS (what does GHS mean?)
William J. CAIN, Shawneetown, pvt, Co. F, 87th Illinois Infantry, Oct 1, 1862 -- June 16, 1865. Born 1831, died 1909. Kitty Sweeten Cemetery. Family.
Notice that William and Joshua were in the same infantry regiment, different companies, and were discharged on the same day.
I believe that Joshua and George were cousins, sons of Alexander and William P. Cain, respectively, so what I need to know is whether William was the brother of George or Joshua. Census returns show that both Alex and William had sons named William.
Thank you. Zoe Lappin (zlappi@hotmail.com)

Grassroots Democratization on the Factory Floor
Written by Michaelle Yeo Published October 17, 2014
This past April, workers at the Yue Yuen Dongguan shoe factory swarmed out into the streets in protest. Despite the hundreds of riot police swarming the streets, the workers' numbers only swelled as they continued to protest the company's ongoing failure to pay its employees and the thousands of fraudulent contracts they had been forced to sign, preventing them from enrolling their children in local schools and forcing them instead to pay for migrant workers' children's schools. However, official union presence was minimal; the protest was organized independently of China's one legal trade union, the All China Federation Trade Union (ACFTU). These kinds of grievances and protests are common among the millions of migrant workers along the southeastern coast, as is the conspicuous absence of China's one legal trade union, the ACFTU.
Some have seen China's labor movement as a "chink in the armor." They have asked whether continued labor reform might suggest a burgeoning democracy, pointing to the increasing number of independent organization in the form of "wildcat strikes" outside of the ACFTU's jurisdiction. However, a large-scale workers' movement that would institute real reform seems unlikely without significant changes in the way workers organize and protest.
The ACFTU is the arm of the Chinese government that has arguably faced the biggest challenges in adapting to China's transition to a market economy, thanks to its dual responsibility to both the state and the workers. In the pre-reform period, China's economy was dominated by state or collectively owned enterprises in urban areas in the north, where workers enjoyed an "iron rice bowl" under the danwei system – a series of benefits including welfare, housing, political and social status, and lifetime employment. Furthermore, the vertical hierarchy of the system, controlled by the centralized Chinese Communist Party and the state apparatus that it runs, prevented any horizontal coalescing of class interests. Workers in a socialist party-state are not allowed to establish horizontal linkages freely. Under this system, managers and workers were assumed to have the same set of interests: whatever benefitted the party-state.
However, the expansion of the private sector and industrialization of the southeastern coast, coupled with the relaxation of migration restrictions, collapsed the hierarchical certainty of the Chinese labor system. Privately owned businesses outcompeted state-run firms, which are now overrun by bankruptcy and unpaid pensions and wages. For the ACFTU, these changes represented a diversification in China's labor force and the relinquishing of the state's paternalistic role under the command economy These changes have put the ACFTU's dual responsibilities – serving as a tool of communication and collective representation for the workers while simultaneously maintaining social order and maintaining party control over labor protests – in direct contrast with one another.
Ultimately, however, the ACFTU is a state institution. Officials are elected and appointed by management from above, and its inability to openly support workers' interests has led to widespread perception of the ACFTU as merely a tool of the party-state, compromising its ability to lead or control workers. The lack of any outlet or forum for discussion within the ACFTU has made wildcat strikes increasingly common for migrant worker. Wildcat strikes are strike actions undertaken by workers without union leadership's authorization, support, or approval and are a key pressure tactic in the Chinese labor reform movement – by taking protests to the streets, workers are able to immediately draw the attention of the state.
These strikes are notable in that they are sometimes successful, resulting in wage increases and legislation against abusive labor practices. Certain victories and changes in legislation such as the Honda strikes or the more recent Yue Yuen strikes have led some observers to suggest a shift in structural balance and power between workers and employees.
However, the focus of these strikes and protests have not shifted from immediate issues of production and living standards to broader economic, social, or political issues. A closer examination of the role of workers in Chinese society, and how these wildcat strikes are often resolved, points to the apolitical nature of China's labor movements.
Factories in contemporary China are filled almost entirely by migrant workers. Unlike under the command economy, the distinction between home life and working life has been severed. The position of these workers is no longer seen as enviable, but rather looked down on; they are seen as selling themselves as cheap labor.
The transience of migrant workers prevents any real unified movement. The majority of migrants come into the cities assuming that they will earn as much money as they can before returning back to their villages in the more rural areas of China. In the city, migrants do not enjoy access to any of the public services that other urban residents have, including health care, housing, and education. All of this results in an almost 100% turnover rate in some factories.
As a result, although these 'wildcat strike' movements are powerful, they are often isolated to the factory that they occur in. Migrants protest only for their most immediate and pressing need – wages. Anything outside of this is irrelevant to them as they are separated from the local community and lack any rights as city residents.
Furthermore, the transience of these workers often makes them pessimistic and reluctant while protesting. The Yue Yuen strike is often perceived as a victory, as it is one of the largest 'wildcat' protests to have occurred within a foreign investment company. A protestor at the Yue Yuen strike stated that the strike had failed, noting that some workers stopped the struggle after a minimal pay raise concession, or continued but only with a pessimistic outlook since they did not expect a better outcome. This suggests distrust among the workers, which prevents unity.
However dismal the situation may seem, Chinese workers have real power to draw the state's attention and demand action from it. Should these migrant workers find a way to a build a more united, organized, and broadly focused coalition, broader structural change from below may become possible.

Paul Rudd Makes People's 'Sexiest Man' Issue
Getty Images for Netflix
Were you sitting there wondering to yourself "Hmm? I wonder who the Sexiest Man Alive is for 2019?" I'm sure you weren't, but just in case let me inform you.
EGOT winner John Legend is gracing the cover of People Magazine as this year's Sexiest Man Alive. While that's all well and good, People Magazine also created, basically, an honorable mention list.
One of our neighbors here in the Hudson Valley made said list. Paul Rudd, who has ties in the Hudson Valley and is part owner of Samuels Candy Shop in Rhinebeck, made the cut!
Honestly, we think Paul should be on the cover and should have gotten a shout out for being the hottest candy shop owner in 2019 (along with Morgan family as well).
People Magazine gave Rudd a blurb about his 'sexy man' status saying "The ageless actor turned 50 this year, and marked the milestone by starring in one of 2019's biggest films, Avengers: Endgame."
We haven't gotten our hands on the hardcopy of the Sexiest Man Alive issue, but we're hoping there's more than that on Paul Rudd.
I mean, the man went viral just last week while eating hot cauliflower.

Streptococcus pneumoniae, or pneumococcal disease, is a facultative anaerobic gram positive coccus that is found as normal flora in the nasopharynx of healthy carriers. Pneumococcal disease causes pneumonia, ear infections, blood stream infections, acute sinusitis, septic arthritis and more. S. pneumoniae is one of the most common causes of bacterial meningitis in adults and young adults. High risk persons are adults 65 and older, children younger than two, and those with weakened immune systems. It is also more common in developing countries. In severe infections, pneumococcal disease can cause hearing loss, brain damage and death.

Youth coach punched, nose broken; search for suspect ongoing
By Associated Press - Thursday, April 23, 2015
YOUNGSVILLE, La. (AP) - Police investigations are ongoing to identify a man accused of punching and breaking the nose of a youth softball coach.
The Advocate (https://bit.ly/1OKlmYJ) reports the head coach for the Broussard Youngsville Youth Association was punched during a post-game brawl Tuesday night at the Youngsville Sports Complex.
Youngsville Police Chief Rickey Boudreaux says they are still working to identify the man who threw the punch. The man was working as an assistant coach for the visiting team, the Brown Park Youth Association's U16 girls slow-pitch team of Lafayette.
The Lafayette team's head coach told police she only knew the man as "Joe" and plucked him from the crowd that night to work in the game.
Lafayette Consolidated Government is conducting its own investigation into the incident.

The comfortable sofas and chairs in the lounge invite guests to relax and take advantage of the large flatscreen TV or the iPod dock. French doors lead out of this room onto a balcony, where guests can enjoy a glass of wine whist watching the sun go down over Chelsea. About the area The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is an affluent area of West London, notable for its many world-class restaurants, wide-ranging boutiques and, of course, for being the home of one of the English Premier League's most successful football clubs: Chelsea FC. Characterised by two extensive and iconic shopping streets - the Kings Road and Fulham Road, which both run parallel to the river - this wealthy riverside neighbourhood is famed for its abundance of high-end galleries and antiques dealerships, as well as a rich and vibrant history, as defined by the bohemian artists of the 19th century and pop stars of the 1960s who called this area their home. Today, residents and visitors alike can take advantage of the expansive range of eateries before indulging in some lavish retail therapy among the stars in the celebrity-favoured Sloane Square. Served by two nearby tube stations; South Kensington to the North and Sloane Square to the East, visitors to Chelsea are well connected to the London Underground network via District, Circle and Piccadilly lines, offering easy access to the essential visiting destinations of Harrods in Knightsbridge, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, the many cultural attractions of Covent Garden, and the undoubted scenic beauty of nearby Hyde Park.The nearest tube station to the apartment is Sloane Square, which operates on the District and Circle lines. Around the block With such a huge range of impressive restaurants to choose from, it can be quite an intimidating to selection to make. Our recommendation would be Rasoi; a fabulous, award-winning Indian restaurant from Michelin-starred chef Vineet Bhatia and located within an intimate, upmarket, charming townhouse.

Here are several stories and updates worth a read:
I am hosting the August Carnival of Trust on Monday, August 3 here. I hosted once before and really enjoyed the experience — click here and here. The Carnival of Trust is a monthly, traveling review of ten of the last month's best posts related to various aspects of trust in the business world. If you have trust-related posts from the last month, send them to me. by Friday or Saturday. For other examples of Carnival of Trust posts, check out recent hosts Adrian Dayton and Victoria Pynchon.
I was featured in Stephanie Allen West's Reading Minds column in the ABA's Law Practice Management magazine this month — click here to read the column. Along with Jennifer Loud Ungar, Andrew Flusche, and Todd Kashdan, I was asked to recommend a favorite management book. I went with an unorthodox choice, but a valuable read, the Boy Scout Patrol Leader's Handbook. Here is some of my recommendation:
In the many years since I relied on the Handbook to run Boy Scout patrols, I have found the lessons in this volume to be equally applicable to leading and managing teams of lawyers or businesspeople. The Handbook is a powerful guide for developing successful organizations, maintaining group morale and achieving group success. As an example, it lists these 10 tips for being a good leader: (1) keep your word; (2) be fair; (3) communicate well and often; (4) be flexible; (5) be organized; (6) delegate; (7) set an example; (8) be consistent; (9) give praise; and (10) ask for help. These are words to live by for patrol leaders, lawyers and C-level executives alike.

Patent Reform: ABA on Inequitable Conduct
By R. David Donoghue on February 24, 2009
Another sign that patent reform is heating up again: the ABA's IP Section has sent the Senate Judiciary Committee a position paper regarding inequitable conduct reform (click here to get to the Section's advocacy page which has a link to the letter). The ABA argues that inequitable conduct materiality should be based upon the law and standards at the time of the alleged conduct, not based upon the present day standards. The ABA also argues that inequitable conduct decisions should continue to be made by the federal courts, not the PTO. And finally, the ABA argues that the standard for inequitable conduct should be:
(1) that a person having a duty of candor and good faith to the PTO in connection with the patent or an application therefor knowingly and willfully misrepresented a material fact or material information to the PTO or omitted a known material fact or known material information from the PTO;
(2) that, in the absence of such misrepresentation or omission, the PTO, acting reasonably, would not have granted or maintained in force at least one invalid patent claim; and
(3) that the misrepresentation or omission occurred with a specific intent to deceive the PTO, and that such intent cannot be established by the mere materiality of the misrepresentation or omission.

Making Joint Defense Agreements Work
By R. David Donoghue on September 26, 2008
Joint defense agreements are an increasingly common part of big patent litigaitons, in the Northern District and across the country. Having been involved in numerous joint defense groups, my colleague Thomas Paternak and I wrote an article that was published in the most recent edition of the ABA's Litigation magazine about best practices for joint defense groups and dealing with joint defense agreements — click here to for a pdf of the article, with permission from the ABA of course.
Probably the most important tip is one I have discussed before — communication, including live meeetings, is critical to building and maintaining relationships among the joint defense group:
The number of members of the [joint defense group] will have some bearing on how it is organized and managed, but regardless, communication is the key. Weekly, short conference calls once the case is running hot are important, however painful that is, to keep everyone looped in. For important strategy decisions, live meetings are going to be necessary. At the same time, try to put as few communications between co-defendants in writing as possible. Discovery of those communications can and does happen, despite all best legal efforts to prevent it, and you will be particularly embarrassed if you disparage opposing counsel or the judge in venting in an e-mail to your codefendant and that e-mail ends up being produced.
Click here for my previous discussion of the importance of live meetings for building relationships during litigations and click here for Victoria Pynchon's IP ADR blog post that sparked my comments.

Argument Advice from the Seventh Circuit's Judge Posner
By R. David Donoghue on June 6, 2008
The Seventh Circuit's Judge Posner wrote a Tips from the Trenches column for the ABA in May. The article was well written and insightful, no surprise from Judge Posner. He summed up his advice like this:
be brief, be clear, be simple, be vivid, be commonsensical, avoid legalisms, and do not be afraid to spoon-feed us–we will not bite your hand.
He also provided more detailed advice. Here are my favorites:
* Use visual aids. But he suggests pictures or objects instead of charts or graphs. People (and judges are people, although litigators sometimes forget they are) connect with and remember images better than words or statistics, especially when they see the demonstratives quickly and from a distance.
* Admit when you do not know and concede when you must. Few things kill credibility like false statements, even unintentionally false ones, or refusing to admit the obvious.
* Rehearse. And not just by reading your materials and preparing notes. Set up a session as close to what you can expect as possible. You practice baseball by playing and running by running, practice argument the same way.
* Dress to be taken seriously. First impressions matter and the judge(s) see you both before and while they hear you.
Most of Judge Posner's points apply to both district and appellate court arguments. The article is worth a read.

Invokana was approved by the FDA in 2013, and was hailed as a breakthrough drug in the treatment of type-2 diabetes. But the drug, the first in a family of medications called SGLT2 medications, can have serious side effects that cause suffering for many people who take it.
Normally, the kidneys reabsorb glucose (sugar) and send it back into the bloodstream. But Invokana-also known by its generic name canagliflozin-prevents that from happening and flushes excess glucose into the urine. This helps to keep blood sugar levels low.
But while that is a positive effect for people with type-2 diabetes, other side effects of this dangerous drug can be quite serious. For example, there is evidence that in some people, Invokana can lead to kidney damage. The function of the kidneys is to eliminate waste, including a byproduct of muscle activity called creatinine. In some people who take Invokana, creatinine levels rise, indicating the kidneys are not working properly.
This problem gained attention rather quickly. After receiving several reports of kidney failure among users of the drug, the FDA issued warnings and updated the warning label on Invokana to discuss the possibility of severe kidney damage.
Some users of Invokana could be more likely to develop kidney problems than others. These include people who are also taking ACE inhibitors, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), diuretics or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). People who experienced congestive heart failure, circulation problems or previous kidney problems may also be at a higher risk.
Another risk involving the use of Invokana is diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a potentially deadly medical condition that creates high levels of ketones in the bloodstream and causes the blood to become acidic.
During the approval process, there was also concern among an FDA panel of doctors and medical researchers that the use of Invokana increased the risk of blood clots that could lead to heart attack or stroke. But while a clinical study has been launched to evaluate the risk, the agency still approved the drug. It was one of several studies agreed to by Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson that manufactures and markets Invokana in the United States.
When completed, studies may reveal more about the risks of taking Invokana. But that is of little use to people with diabetes who are taking them now and are already suffering from the side effects.
Lawsuits have already been filed against Janssen. They claim that the pharmaceutical giant was negligent by manufacturing a defective drug, failing to warn the risks of taking that drug, and misrepresenting the drug's risks and benefits.
If you are taking Invokana and are experiencing side effects, take action immediately. Talk to your doctor. Then call a lawyer who can go over your legal options with you.

Do you have an all or nothing mindset?
Go balls to the wall on a diet for 21 days and then on day 22 order an XL pizza, donuts, milkshake and sprinkles because... sprinkles!?
Do you eat *perfectly* Monday morning through Friday afternoon, and then as soon as you leave work, hit up happy hour and eat all the chicken wings and drink all the beers and get all the drunk food crab rangoon?
And then Sunday night you vow to get back on the wagon and live perfect AF starting Monday... but then cycle repeats come Friday afternoon?
This is the old me... and honestly, it's the sometimes me still. Once I started learning about my body, learning about myself, and learning about my relationship with food, things changed. I stopped treating foods as on and off diets, but I started looking at it as a RELATIONSHIP that needs nurturing. But there are still times that I still struggle. It's usually when I've been super restrictive and trying to be perfect with food. On then weekends, I'd rebel.
I've written about this before and told you how I have dessert every day with my evening brownie.
And I've told you how I have my treat single serving pizza every Friday with Pizza Friday!
So those are ways I have treat meals during the week... but what about the weekend? What about when you're in the house more? When friends want to go to a restaurant? When you want to live a life not being on a diet?
1. Read your WHY. We start every month writing down our WHY. We stay away from perfection and specific weight loss numbers, and we think about how we want to feel at the end of the month and what we want to be able to do. Being strong, being happy, and feeling comfortable and confident are popular WHYs.
We read our WHYs on Friday if not daily because as we go through the week, it is really easy to let the week run us! Reading our WHYs reminds us of what we are doing. It reminds us that what we do over the weekend DOES MATTER, but it also reminds us that we are NOT on a diet, we do NOT need to be perfect, we just need to be MINDFUL. So if you haven't written a WHY yet, start there and then read it!
2. Treat your Friday as you would any other day. Eat lots of vegetables. Drink lots of water. Move your body because you love it, not because you hate it, and because you know what you do every day changes your life. You don't need to track how many calories your workout burns and say it's okay to eat something because you burned a million calories. Workout because it's what you do. Go out because it's what you do.
3. Grill. Protein and veggies all the way.
4. Allow a treat meal if you want one! On the Portion Fix meal plan, you can have a burger. You can have a glass of wine. You can have pizza. It's all about being mindful of what you're eating. There are no points to count, no calories. If you want a glass of wine, save a yellow container and have a freaking glass of wine. If you want a burger, use a red container and a yellow container and have a freaking burger.
5. Or eat half of whatever the restaurant serves you. Ask them to serve half on a plate and box up half right away. Have a giant salad with half of a burger. Have a plate of roasted vegetables with your pizza. It's possible. It's doable. I do this when I go to restaurants.
7. If you don't want booze, but you do want something besides water, get a soda water and lemon. Bring your own liquid stevia for a little sweetness. It tastes like Sprite!
9. If you know being at home over the weekend makes it hard because the kitchen is always open, get out of the kitchen! Get out of the house! Go do something that doesn't involve food and booze! Take kids to the park. Take dog for a walk. Go hiking! Go to a museum. Go on a boat. Dust off the bikes. Explore a new neighborhood in your city. Find a cool thrift store. Join a soccer league. Go to a yoga class. Do something.
I love driving 60 minutes and going hiking. It is SO cool to explore the state you live in.
10. If you "mess up" don't give up. Having a bad day with food doesn't make you a bad person. It also doesn't mean you have to keep doing it. Just because you had a donut and milkshake doesn't mean you have to have all the donuts and milkshakes. Have some water. Go for a walk. Eat some greens. Move on.
What is the hardest part about the weekend for you? What tips do you have for the weekend?
I've been learning a lot about food and myself with my May Bootcamp. We are reading Women Food and God, and I find myself nodding, highlighting, and ugly crying. In a good way. I am finally getting to understand myself and my struggle with food. I am healing. It's amazing.
I am super stoked to be hosting a Food Freedom online workshop with my fellow Coach Anna Locke on Thursday 5/18. We'll be sharing our own journeys, our takeaways from the book Women Food and God, and some simple mindset shifts and action steps that you can practice to move forward and feel free, happy, and nourished.
The workshop will be recorded if you can't make it live.

Today, rhinoplasty is one of the most common cosmetic procedures performed globally. Every year, thousands of women looking for a more aesthetically pleasing nose receive female nose surgery. Most often, a woman's dissatisfaction with her nose stems from its shapeless figure and/or disproportionate size relative to the rest of their face. For an overall softer look, women seeking rhinoplasty oftentimes want to reduce the overall size of their nose, eliminate a dorsal hump, or emphasize the subtle features of their nose.
Female nose surgery (rhinoplasty) also plays a social and psychological role in a woman's life. Many women have admitted having a heightened level of self confidence and a more stable emotional well-being after having rhinoplasty. For some, this can be a life changing procedure due to achieving a greater sense of self satisfaction.
For some women, the primary reasons for rhinoplasty are aesthetic, while for others rhinoplasty may be done to improve breathing and minor defects within the nasal structure. Female rhinoplasty varies depending on the nature of each individual procedure. Dr. Hovsepian uses his artistic talent and surgical skills to create a soft, natural appearance. He recognizes the importance of minimally-invasive techniques and emphasizes the importance of a comfortable and caring patient experience with a rapid healing process. Dr. Hovsepian's goal is to bring balance and symmetry to your appearance, creating overall natural beauty. Learn more about your female nose (rhinoplasty) surgery options and how Dr. Hovsepian can support you in meeting your facial aesthetic goals when you request your consultation online or by telephone.
Dr. Hovsepian's artistic talent will identify facial asymmetry in patients seeking rhinoplasty. He will evaluate the shape and structure of your nose in detail, review your unique anatomy with technical precision, listen to your aesthetic needs and desires, and provide you with individualized options in your rhinoplasty consultation.
Correct a Prominent Nasal Hump: Dr. Hovsepian can reduce a "humped" or "hooked" nose. The result is a straighter, elegant and more pleasing nose contour.
Enhance Nasal Definition: Dr. Hovsepian can make small, careful adjustments to the soft tissue and cartilage at the nose tip to correct a "bulbous" or poorly defined nose.
Elevate a Downturned Nasal Tip: This problem is caused by a variety of reasons. Dr. Hovsepian will carefully assess whether an approach focused on rotating the nasal tip, refining the bridge, or enhancing both areas will yield the best results.
Dr. Hovsepian recognizes the importance of minimally-invasive techniques in facial surgery, and is dedicated to creating natural looking results.
During your consultation, Dr. Hovsepian and his highly trained aesthetic team will meet with you and make sure you understand your procedure thoroughly, while answering any questions you may have. Safety, privacy, comfort, and excellence in treatment with trusting compassionate care, is the promise of Dr. Hovsepian and his team.
Prior to coming into the Beverly Hills or Newport Beach surgery center, you will need to begin fasting 8 hours prior to your procedure, meaning you cannot eat or drink anything at all during this period, including chewing gum or drinking water. If you have been instructed by Dr. Hovsepian to take any medications in the morning, this is permitted with a few sips of water.
Female nose (rhinoplasty) surgery is performed under general anesthesia which means you will be completely asleep and feel nothing during surgery. The surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure, but some patients prefer an overnight stay. Out-of-town patients may stay in a near-by aftercare facility or hotel, where a "private duty" nurse is available. The surgery takes a couple of hours, although expect to spend extra time in the operating room if your procedure will focus on multiple areas. Afterward, you will return to your home, hotel or aftercare facility located a short distance from the surgical center.
A skilled plastic surgeon, Dr. Hovsepian's goal is to provide you with the best possible care while utilizing innovative advancements in plastic surgery to help you reach your rhinoplasty goals. Meet with Dr. Hovsepian in his Beverly Hills or Newport Beach office to discuss how he can support you in achieving your aesthetic facial goals. Request your consultation online or by telephone.

My journey started out when I was in high school, I was at the age when you start to notice things about yourself that you are not comfortable with, in my case it was my chin. I didn't really have a chin and I had a lot of fat below my chin in the neck area. I started to notice this in photos and any kind of side profile view; I absolutely hated my chin and was embarrassed as well. My second insecurity began around the same time, my nose, it was a little big and the tip of my nose dropped lower than it should. Over the next ten years I dealt with my insecurities and wore make up to cover or give the illusion that I had a chin and as for my nose, that was a little hard to hide, because you really can't hide it but you could wear things to bring the attention elsewhere. To make things worse, when I was twenty-two I had an accident where I had trauma to my face, which resulted in severe damage to my nose.Over the next year I did some research on getting my "situation" fixed. A girlfriend of mine had breast augmentation with Dr. Hovsepian and only had great things to say about him as a person and most of all as a surgeon. Her story was almost too good to be true, so I had to see for myself and I set up a consultation with Dr. Hovsepian. I was very nervous and scared, I was going to this doctor that I have never met and I had to express and tell him all my insecurities. From the moment I stepped into his office I was greeted with kindness and warmth from the staff. When I met Dr. Hovsepian, he made me feel comfortable and I didn't feel like I was being judged. I felt like he truly cared for my concerns and me. I expressed to him my insecurities and he then went in detail about what he could do to fix my "situation." We then took some pictures and started to make some adjustments on paper. Just seeing that little bit of difference on paper I got very excited, he gave me a copy to take home so that I could draw on them and make the adjustments I wanted.With my next appointment I brought the pictures of myself with the adjustments on them as well as photos of noses that I got out of a magazine or printed off the computer. Dr. Hovsepian gave me his advice as a plastic surgeon what would look best and what was unrealistic. I felt comfortable with what we had discussed about my nose, chin, and neck fat. I was confident he could give me an amazing result.On the day of surgery I was once again nervous, but very confident in Dr. Hovsepian and trusted his judgment and skill to the fullest. The moment I saw him, he made all my butterflies disappear and was very comforting. As I came out of surgery he was there to tell me everything went very well and I'm going to love the results.
The day I went to see Dr. Hovsepian to get the cast taken off my nose was the best of all. It was breath taking and I just wanted to cry tears of joy; my nose was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Moving on to taking the bandage off my chin and neck I could see a huge difference and how amazing the results were already.
anything. I have Dr. Hovsepian to thank for his amazing talent and for him being so caring; I now have my "situation" fixed. If I could give any advice, it would be go let your guard down and make a consultation appointment because you have nothing to lose except your insecurities.
