The IRS receives more phone calls on the day after Presidents Day than on any other day of the year.
"Given the high call volumes at this time of the year, we encourage people to first visit our many online resources available at IRS.gov," IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig said as the federal holiday of Monday, March 18 approaches.
With a new federal tax law in effect and a surge of tax returns expected during the Presidents Day weekend, the IRS is offering taxpayers tips and time-saving resources. There are online options taxpayers and tax professionals can use to get information quickly to avoid long wait times on the IRS toll-free hotline this week and during the week of Tuesday, Feb. 19.
Many tax issues can be resolved from the convenience of a home or office. The IRS Services Guide provides links to online IRS services.
Use IRS.gov to track refunds – The IRS issues more than nine out of 10 refunds in under 21 days. IRS customer service representatives cannot answer refund questions until after the 21-day period. But taxpayers can track their refund anytime by using the "Where's My Refund?" tool on IRS.gov and the IRS2Go app. Taxpayers can also call the IRS refund hotline at 800.829.1954.
Use the "Where's My Refund?" tool starting Feb. 23 to track refunds containing the Earned Income Tax Credit and/or the Additional Child Tax Credit – By law, the IRS cannot release refunds that include EITC or ACTC. The earliest those refunds will be deposited into accounts is Feb. 27.
Use IRS.gov to find answers to tax questions – The IRS offers online tools to help answer common tax questions. Taxpayers can search the Interactive Tax Assistant, Tax Topics, Frequently Asked Questions, Tax Trails and the IRS Tax Map to get faster answers.
Review Publication 5307 – "Tax Reform Basics for Individuals and Families" has more information about tax reform.
Let free tax software or free volunteer assistance do the hard work – Taxpayers can get free tax preparation assistance through IRS Free File, for those who want to prepare their own returns, or through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, for those who want a volunteer to help prepare their returns.
Use digital payment options if you own additional tax – Some taxpayers may receive a smaller refund or even owe an unexpected tax bill when they file their 2018 tax return, particularly if they did not perform a Paycheck Check Up in 2018. Use the Paycheck Check Up to make sure you are withholding enough tax in 2019.
Make an appointment before visiting an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers – Anyone who needs face-to-face service should make an appointment before showing up. But, as with the toll-free telephone calls, many TAC visits can be resolved by searching IRS.gov.
Call your employer first for that missing Form W-2 – Those who did not receive a Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, from one or more employers by Jan. 31 should first contact the issuer to inform them of the missing form. Those who do not get a response must still file on time and may need to use Form 4852, Substitute for Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, or Form 1099R, Distributions From Pensions, Annuities, Retirement or Profit-Sharing Plans, IRA's Insurance Contracts, Etc.
Throughout 2018, the IRS has been working closely with partners in the tax return preparation and tax software industries to prepare for tax reform and tax form changes affecting tax year 2018. This ongoing collaboration ensures that taxpayers can continue to rely on the IRS, tax professionals and tax software programs when it's time to file returns.


According to the Five Elements Theory, the element corresponding to Autumn is Metal. The organs associated with this element are lungs, colon, skin, and mind. The emotion related to this season and element is grief. When we strengthen the lungs and harmonize the metal element, we can help heal grief.
Do you often wake up at 3AM, finding it a challenge to get back to sleep until after 5AM?
Or do you have seasonal allergies like hay fever or chronic conditions such as asthma worsening this time of the year? While health may deteriorate during the fall, it is also the best time to tonify and strengthen the organs and systems associated with the Metal element.
Was the Metal element disharmonized by an illness experienced in some past autumn? Is there an ancestral pattern?
Unaddressed deficiencies and toxic buildup leave the family line more predisposed to illness. Barbara has written that, for example, a healthy person does not manifest schizophrenia in one generation; rather schizophrenia is a pattern from previous generations which includes the contraction of tuberculosis at some point. She shares tuberculosis is a reflection of an inability to maintain calcium in the right place in the body, which is essential to the proper functioning of the day/night cycle and night-time cleanse. This impairment over time leads to toxic buildup.
Barbara believes that any populations which have migrated to a place where they no longer receive the balance of essential fatty acids they require are more prone to this taint. Different types of essential fatty acids exist at different attitudes and a change in diet may therefore have an impact on a cellular level.
Associated with the element of Metal is the emotion of grief. Many of us have a lot of grief, perhaps deep grief from a loss that has yet to be fully released and integrated or ancestral imprints. While we want to heal grief, this emotion has powerful messages for us that we should not neglect. Karla McLaren reminds us to "stop, drop, and grieve." Unapologetically.
Grief is a beautiful, languid, and powerful emotion that arises when death occurs, be it actual death or the death of profound attachments, ideas, or relationships. Grief does not simply bring water to you as sadness does; grief drops you directly into the river of all souls. Grief transports you to the deepest places when you have no choice but to let go, when the loss of vital relationships or vital attachments feels like (or is) death itself.
In Chinese medicine, the lungs are seen as the seat of depression. When lungs are weak, the intake of energy and qi is compromised and our sense of smell – and our inspiration – is congested. When we feel disconnected to our higher self and our greater environment, we are more prone to depression.
Massage or self-massage of the Lung Meridian along the arms can help relieve stagnation. Yvonne Lau, a Hong Kong -based practitioner, suggests LU1, LU2, and LU3 to unhide the hidden. Also try holding your ring finger on either or both hands. Another Jin Shin Jyutsu self-help is to place your left hand on the front bottom of the rib cage on the left side of the body and the right hand on the right collarbone. Then move the right hand to the the front bottom of the rib cage on the right side of the body and the left hand on the right collarbone.
Always return to the breath.

May 7 Hit The North 2019 Reviewed
Claire Jayne Allport
Hit the North 2019 had a lot of expectation surrounding it, especially considering the line-up it pulled together for 2018…but it didn't disappoint.
From the moment I arrived at Boiler Shop to collect my credentials I was greeted with a totally different vibe to the festival from last year. This year included the welcomed addition of a press room, which featured free refreshments and workspaces.
I familiarised myself with this before heading across to The O2 Academy to catch The Blinders on the venue's main stage. Despite a few early sound difficulties the Doncaster natives put on an unforgettable performance featuring tracks such as 'Gotta Get Thru', 'Brave New World' and 'l'etat c'est Moi'.
The Blinders
My next destination was over at Brewdog to see a Retro Video Club who were recommended to me by a fellow festival photographer .
The set up at Brewdog was a small but well set out venue which was busy from the moment I walked through the door.
The band had brought a pretty good following, with fellow festival goers singing the their tracks at the top of their lungs.
I then headed back to Boiler Shop to catch Warner Brothers Records' latest signing: 21 year old singer / songwriter Catherine McGrath .
Performing tracks from her debut album 'Talk of This Town' to a fairly intimate audience, which was a rarity for the country star, her voice was pleasantly beautiful. This fact was complimented further by the catchy songs which were in her set list, a definite highlight of the festival so far .
Catherine McGrath
My second from last stop at the festival was to see Luke Marzec at Head Of Steam, however when I arrived the stage was running some 40 minutes behind schedule so I managed to catch Irish duo Le Boom beforehand.
Performing to a small crowd, the band did their best to get the small number of people involved, however this seemed to fall flat.
All of their set seemed to be made up of one long track with nothing sounding fresh or unique and becoming tedious by the time the band were half way through.
Sticking around I managed to catch the first part of Luke's set and it was well worth waiting for.
His passion and ability to write appealing and memorable songs is something of a welcomed change from the previous act, a performance deserving of a bigger crowd and an even bigger stage.
Last call of the day was to see the always entertaining and ever passionate Avalanche Party.
On to their second festival of the day having already played Sounds from the Other City in Salford, the band were unfortunate enough to suffer a lengthy delay due to the stage running behind by at least 30 minutes .
However, the crowd who stayed to see Avalanche Party left with a sense of satisfaction knowing they had just witnessed a performance worthy of the headliner slot.
Blitzing through favourites such as 'I'm So Wet', 'Million Dollar Man' and 'Solid Gold', their set seemed to go by quicker than any of the previous acts from the day, mainly due to how much the crowd enjoyed their boundless energy and the intimate interaction which front man Jordan Bell is well known for.
Avalanche Party
Hit the North 2019 was a resounding success with a line up to die for. Gigs North East and Hit The North have given the North East a festival to be proud of!

How will you discover the Otway Ranges?
About halfway between the Twelve Apostles and Apollo Bay is Melba Gully. Here dense rainforest builds in layers of moss, ferns, blackwoods and myrtle beech trees. During the day you'll spot a fallen 300-year-old messmate and the Johanna River, but come night glow-worms sparkle in the darkness like Mother Nature's fairy lights.
From the car park, follow the steps down past the public toilets to the vast picnic area (with tables and a gas barbecue) to the start of Madsens Track Nature Walk. A round-trip of 35 minutes is estimated, but fast walkers will do it in little more than 20 minutes. You don't have to go far to spot the twinkling glow-worms, but make sure you wear sensible shoes and bring a torch – though don't shine it at the worms, or they'll "turn off". They can be seen all year unless it's unusually dry.
Forrest's 16 mountain-bike trails cover a distance of more than 65 kilometres, so there's one suitable for every age and ability. The trails are split into southern and northern loops. At the southern end of town, the Forrest Loop is an easy, three-kilometre track that can also be walked. It branches off into the six-kilometre Barlidjaru Trail (it takes its name from the local Indigenous word for platypus), which takes riders to Lake Elizabeth, as does The Red Carpet, a 4.5-kilometre trail through eucalyptus forests, with tight climbs and challenging descents.
There are three more trails on the other side of the main road, and the rest are a touch further north near Forrest Hire Bikes. You can BYO mountain bike or rent one for a half or full day ($50 or $80 respectively).
Otway Eco Tours is so certain that you'll see platypus during their guided, small-group canoe tours that they'll refund you 20 per cent of the cost if you don't. Owner-operator Bruce Jackson is a local guide and ecologist with a degree in zoology and botany. He provides a wealth of information during the tours, which leave from Forrest and last up to three hours. It's a one-kilometre walk on a bush track to Lake Elizabeth, where you can paddle at dawn or dusk.
Guests can choose to row or sit back and let the guide do the work. It's $85 per adult, $50 per child, or $300 for a family with three kids. If you can't make a tour, Lake Elizabeth is reason enough to visit on its own, with glassy water speared by dead tree trunks.
Conveniently sited at the entrance to the southern loop mountain-bike trails in Forrest is the Platypi Chocolate Café. Sit level with a canopy of messmate trees and order the signature sausage roll made with seven vegetables from the garden, followed by a deconstructed hot chocolate poured in local pottery.
RACV Torquay Resort is the perfect base to explore the Otways. Members who book a three-night stay between May and October 2019 can enjoy a bonus resort credit. Go to racv.com.au/torquay or call (03) 5261 1600.


Only one of three fatal shootings during Milwaukee's 1967 riot resulted in a murder trial. The trial, in July 1968, ended in the way some didn't expect.
In the riot that erupted in Milwaukee during the summer of 1967, three people were killed by gunfire.
Only one of those shootings resulted in a murder trial. And when it finally came, in July 1968, it didn't end the way many expected.
About 1:30 a.m. on July 31, 1967, a white man drove by a house at 2nd and Center streets, reportedly shouting racial slurs and firing a gun at a group of black people standing outside.
John Oraa Tucker — a 51-year-old African-American high school janitor, who was in the house with his wife and family — came out with a shotgun and fired. Minutes later, Milwaukee police, some of them plainclothes officers, arrived. Shots were exchanged, and police fired tear gas into the house.
Several officers were injured, and two people — including Patrolman Bryan Moschea and Ann Mosley, a 77-year-old widow who also lived in the house — were dead. After an hourlong siege, Tucker was shot in the shoulder and taken into police custody. The house was engulfed in flames.
Soon after, Mayor Henry Maier asked Gov. Warren Knowles to declare martial law and send in the National Guard.
Later that day, Tucker was charged with nine counts of attempted murder. A week later, prosecutors added another charge — first-degree murder for Moschea's death.
Tucker pleaded not guilty, and not guilty by reason of insanity, in Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Herbert J. Steffes' court on April 1, 1968.
The trial started on June 26, 1968. The first witness called by District Attorney David J. Cannon was police Capt. Kenneth Hagopian, one of the officers injured the night of the shooting. When Alan Eisenberg — Tucker's new court-appointed attorney — challenged Hagopian's ability to identify Tucker as his assailant, the officer responded: "You're wrong. That's the man I saw standing in front of the house."
Hagopian was the first of several officers to testify about the shootings; among them was John Carter, a detective who was shot in the face and blinded. While several of the officers testified they saw Tucker carrying a shotgun, several others said they did not.
In what the Milwaukee Sentinel's Joe Pecor called "a surprise defense move," Eisenberg on July 2 called Tucker to the stand. Steffes barred the jury from hearing his testimony but allowed the jury to hear police testify that Tucker had tacitly confessed at the hospital and said he was sorry — even though Tucker had said on the stand that he didn't remember doing so.
Late in the trial, five witnesses testified that the first shot in the clash on Center St. was fired by a white man driving a 1965 Chevrolet station wagon in front of the house. The car was traced to its owner, Milton Nelsen, a 51-year-old white man who, according to a July 12 Sentinel story, testified on July 11 that he did not have a gun in his car, and didn't fire a gun that night.
Testimony wrapped up on July 12, a Friday; Steffes told reporters that the jury had been in isolation for 17 days already, the longest in Milwaukee County's court history.
On July 15, Cannon and Eisenberg gave their closing arguments, and Steffes gave the jury — six men, one of whom was African-American, and six women — two hours' worth of instructions.
The jury came back with a verdict the following afternoon.
Tucker was found not guilty of first-degree murder and three of the nine charges of attempted murder. On the other six counts, he was found guilty of a lesser charge, endangering safety by conduct regardless of life.
When asked if he was grateful for the outcome, Tucker replied, according to Journal reporter Alex P. Dobish in a July 17 story, "I don't know what you are speaking about, sir."
In a short sanity trial, the jury found Tucker sane on July 19.
Steffes, who said he did not agree with the jury's not-guilty verdicts, then sentenced Tucker to 25 years in prison.
"Just because some trigger-happy man who is depicted as a gentle man takes a few drinks and decides to practice assassination … I do not think he deserves any palliation, and he's not going to get it from this court," Steffes said, according to a July 20 Journal story.
Eisenberg called it an "unbelievably harsh sentencing statement," and vowed to appeal.
The Journal's Dobish reported on July 21 that the jurors said they were determined to treat the case on its merits, not in the context of the conflagration that engulfed the city afterward.
"We were not there on the jury to get vengeance," one juror told Dobish.
Tucker filed an appeal of his conviction in 1972, citing community prejudice; his appeal was denied in 1973.
According to a story by Dobish in the July 18, 1977, Journal, Tucker was paroled on July 1, 1977, after serving nearly 10 years in prison. Living in an apartment in Wausau at the time, he told Dobish he had moved on.
"As long as people's minds are in the past, it puts bumps and obstacles in the way of the future," Tucker said. "It's been a long time. Let's forget about it."

Every firm is doing something to give back to the community. But not many firms are capitalizing on that from a marketing and branding perspective – which is a huge missed opportunity! Marketers must realize the business case for corporate social responsibility (CSR).
On this week's episode, we chat with Katie Garrett, Account Director at Rep Equity about the value of CSR to your organization and engaging employees, and how to market cause work without patting yourself on the back.
CQ: A May 2015 Forbes article by Ryan Scott states, "55% of millennial employees were influenced to take their job after discussing cause work in the interview." This means that more than half of the people entering the workforce are factoring CSR into their employment decisions.. What do you think this means to companies moving forward?
KG: So many companies don't realize how important this is to employees, more specifically the newest employees that are going to be carrying their company forward someday. People want to know they're working for a company who cares about them and therefore cares about their interests — a shared responsibility with giving and engagement.
CQ: Considering this is such an important recruitment piece, why do you think so many companies still don't have a formalized program in place?
KG: Unfortunately, it's just that most employers are a little behind the curve on knowing what their employees want. I wish I could say this is uncommon, but it's not. There is a breakdown in internal communications from employers listening to their employees to find out what they value most in an organization — what will make them stay? And what will make them leave?
CQ: Beyond the recruiting message, what's the real business case for CSR?
KG: It comes down to understanding how it fits in your larger business plan, and your goals/objectives for the company going forward. From a broader marketing communications perspective – it's another opportunity to communicate what your company is all about and what you believe in.The business case is that there is an expectation that you need to be involved, and if you aren't talking about it – people notice.
CQ: How do you recommend companies choose which causes to support?
KG: You need a holistic approach that includes leadership buy-in, as well as employee input. It's a conversation between your leadership, marketing, and general members of the staff — a broad cross-section of the company to hear all the voices and then communicate it back to the staff.
CQ: Why is this so important for marketers, and not just HR? Where do marketers get involved?
KG: It's a mistake for CSR to live solely with HR. While recruiting relates to HR, it relates much more to the marketing scope of work within an organization — most importantly your internal and external communications. Marketing is critical to determine what you go after and why – to make sure it's in alignment with your corporate goals.
CQ: How can you advise marketers to use CSR activities as a marketing opportunity, without patting yourself on the back?
KG: How to not talk about yourself while talking about yourself? It's the same issue we face with social media – when ultimate the goal is visiblity for your organization. The key is balancing the communication surrounding your different efforts – focus your media outreach on the events that you own and where you have a strong voice. And remember that this is another forum to express your corporate culture.
A native Washingtonian, Katie joined the Account Management Team at RepEquity as an Account Director in 2015. Prior to this position, Katie served as the Director of Marketing & Communications for David M. Schwarz Architects, and she has over ten years of marketing, communications, and business development experience, with expertise in digital marketing, content strategy, brand development, and relationship management.
Join us Thursday on the podcast where we'll chat with Katie about her career and some of her challenges and victories that have landed her where she is today.
Next week, we'll welcome Amy Adye, Workplace Practice Manager at SmithGroupJJR, to talk about making the transition from managing things to managing people.

It is actually difficult to argue the points of importance and relevance because the reception to this novel in Austen's time was cool. Reviews were brief and neutral without great criticism yet equally without great praise: it was responded to as an insignificant novel. There were two exceptions, yet these exceptions did lead the trend in criticism throughout the nineteenth century.
The chief novelist of the period, Walter Scott, gave Austen ringing reviews claiming her literary kinship with Shakespeare and other earlier great English writers. Later, George Henry Lewes gave a similar review praising Austen's writing and talent and comparing her to Fielding. Subsequent reviews and criticism then continued to follow the tone set by Scott and Lewes.
Austen always had a favorable readership and a popular following but is not considered to have been one of the bestsellers. The rank of bestsellers went to Victorian-style authors like the Bronte sisters, Eliot, and Dickens. These writers evinced the desirable qualities of Romanticism and Victorianism, those being the emotion and sentimentality and colorful descriptions that Austen disliked and avoided. In fact, Scott praised Austen's realism, marking Austen as one of the forerunners of the Realism movement. It was only in the twentieth century that Austen began to shine with the critical and popular lustre she is noted for today.
Some points that might help you argue the points of relevance and importance relate to her style. We've already noted her realism. In this novel, she employed an omniscient third person narrator in order to expose the thoughts and inner character of each of the principals, like Mary Crawford and Mrs. Norris. Austen reverses her previous trend and attempts an unobtrusive narrator; her effort isn't a complete one as part of Austen's style is ironic comment that illuminates character and plot development.
In addition, principal characters are all wealthy suffering one form or another of moral indolence and moral apathy. Exceptions are Mrs. Norris and Mrs. Price, respectively, who are of modest means and actual poverty. A very significant point of style and plot is that the heroine has been so overcome by circumstances and Mrs. Norris (!) that she is a heroine few like. Most find her weak as an individual and insignificant. Readers don't fancy Fanny Price the way they fancy Elinor, Marianne and Elizabeth.
Fanny Price was at this time just ten years old, and though there might not be much in her first appearance to captivate, there was, at least, nothing to disgust her relations. She was small of her age, with no glow of complexion, nor any other striking beauty; exceedingly timid and shy, and shrinking from notice; but her air, though awkward, was not vulgar, her voice was sweet, and when she spoke her countenance was pretty.

Seizing Power: Game of Thrones 'The Door' (Recap)
By Max Bledstein on May 23, 2016 • ( 1 Comment )
On HBO's Game of Thrones, Jon Snow may be the one who comes back to life, but it's the women of Westeros who are increasingly shaping the direction of Season Six. Even the resurrected Snow needs the help of a woman, Melisandre, and her control over his fate is matched by the autonomy Sansa shows in turning against Littlefinger and rallying the others at the Wall to fight Ramsay. She does trust Littlefinger's possibly misleading intel about her uncle's retaking of Riverrun, but she also makes him feel anguish and regret for abandoning her to Ramsay. Through the exchange between them, Sansa articulates what could've been a more effective method for depicting the sexual violence of which the show has been rightly condemned. The power of suggestion, and Sansa's obvious pain, makes the scene more emotionally wrenching than any of the numerous depictions of Ramsay's sadism.
Also taking charge, in spite of the odds, is Arya. Her fight scenes with the Waif, captured in elegant long shots, continue to be some of the most well-choreographed combat sequences Game of Thrones has to offer. She'll have to poison the actress Lady Crane, though, whose satirical representation of Ned's execution makes the potential murder all the more tempting. The play riles up Arya, naturally, as much as the rhymed dialogue makes it hard to stay too angry at the performers.
Arya's indestructible stubborn streak is also seen in Yara, who won't let her uncle, Euron, take the throne unchallenged. He's determined to perpetuate the patriarchal norms of Westeros for as long as possible, even as she is equally determined not to let him do so. Theon takes her side, and the potentially ensuing Greyjoy civil war adds yet another fascinating conflict to a suddenly crowded season. "Build me a thousand ships, and I will give you this world," Euron says to his remaining loyal troops, setting the stage for a Greyjoy battle down the road.
More than the Greyjoys will be in conflict, as Daenerys and Tyrion soon remind us. Even with greyscale threatening Jorah's life, she's too loyal to let him abandon her without promising to seek a cure. Between Daenerys's brave, emotional outpouring to Jorah and her destruction of the Dosh Khaleen last week, Season Six has found her increasingly asserting her autonomy and cementing her position as one of the show's strongest characters.
She's rivaled by Tyrion, of course, who continues to find himself in conflict with others over how to proceed. This time it's with Varys, regarding whether or not to make use of Kinavara's powers to "purify nonbelievers." Tyrion is the pragmatist once again, willing to use whatever resources he can to consolidate Daenerys' strength, but Varys is too skeptical of religion to be quite in the same camp. This conversation builds on last week's discussion over the ethics of allowing slaves to remain slaves, establishing the political intrigue that's coming to define Season Six almost as much as the looming Stark/Bolton showdown.
But more imminent than that is the Children of the Forest/White Walker battle, which brings "The Door" to a rousing and emotional conclusion. The title refers to Hodor's heroic, sacrificial efforts to protect Bran and Meera from the encroaching zombies, as his younger self sees that he will one day have to do. There's an awful lot of cruelty on Game of Thrones, but this is one death that feels painful without being manipulative or excessive. It also allows Bran and Meera to escape, leaving yet another group to wander, strategize, and fight their way through Westeros in the second half of Season Six.

The Sydney Roosters are pleased to announce Magic Glass as one of the Club's new platinum partners, with the leading commercial and residential glass replacement company joining the foundation club as the upper chest and front-of-shorts sponsor for the next three years.
Welcoming the partnership with the Club, Roosters CEO John Lee said: "The Roosters are delighted to enter this significant partnership with Magic Glass as we prepare to get our 2017 campaign underway.
"Magic Glass are leaders in glass solutions and their joining our group of senior partners is another great step forward for the Roosters," he added.
In forming this positive signing with Magic Glass, the Roosters will enter the 2017 season with the corporate value of the famous Tricolour jersey greater than ever before in the Club's history.
"In partnering with Magic Glass, this completes the opportunity to appear on the Roosters jersey in 2017, with the corporate value of the jersey at its highest in the Club's 109-year history.
"Behind the scenes, we are working hard to ensure that the Club is in great shape both on and away from the field, so we are very pleased to enter a three-year partnership with Magic Glass and look forward to working with them in the coming seasons," he added.
In launching the 2017 partnership, Magic Glass Director, Ali Hassan, said:
"Magic Glass shares the same goals as the Sydney Roosters, in aspiring to set the benchmark in our field. We are thrilled to partner with the Sydney Roosters for the next three years.
"When assessing the partnership opportunity with the Sydney Roosters, we could think of no better sporting organisation that shares such a rich and proud history and desire for success. We are very pleased to enter this partnership and look forward to sharing our success together," Hassan added.
Australian owned and operated, Magic Glass offers a professional service encompassing glass and aluminium repair, replacement and installation, and has continued to provide its commercial and residential customers with 24-hour emergency replacement services since its inception in 1991.

Securities Fraud Complaint Filed Against Pulse Biosciences
A securities fraud lawsuit has been filed against Pulse Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: PLSE) for potential securities violations on behalf of shareholders who purchased shares anytime during the period from January 12, 2021 through February 7, 2022. The release of potentially misrepresentative and misleading information, as well as failure to disclose material adverse facts to the public may have resulted in material losses for shareholders. The class action lawsuit has already been filed.
Copy of the Complaint Filed Against Pulse Biosciences
Pulse-Biosciences-Securities-Fraud-ComplaintDownload
Allegations Involve CellFX System
In October 2020, Pulse initiated its investigational device exemption ("IDE") study to evaluate the treatment of sebaceous hyperplasia lesions using the CellFX System. On February 8, 2022, before the market opened, Pulse announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") concluded there was insufficient clinical evidence to support the Company's 510(k) submission to expand the label for the CellFX System to treat sebaceous hyperplasia. Among other things, the FDA found "that the Company had not met the primary endpoints of the sebaceous hyperplasia FDA-approved IDE study." On this news, on February 8, 2022 the Company's share price fell over 34%, from $10.86 to close at $7.12 per share.
Summary of Securities Fraud Allegations
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors:
The IDE study evaluating the use of the CellFX System to treat sebaceous hyperplasia lesions failed to meet its primary endpoints;
As a result, there was a substantial risk that the FDA would reject Pulse's 510(k) submission seeking to expand the label for the CellFX System to treat sebaceous hyperplasia lesions; and
As a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
If you purchased shares of Pulse Biosciences common stock during the relevant time period, you may be entitled to compensation, without payment of any out-of-pocket litigation fees or costs. You may request the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff for the class action no later than April 18, 2022. We urge investors to contact us.

HaySparkle: Amazing Beauty UK Nail Polishes!
You may remember a while back I popped a fun little post up called Guess the Polish, where I reviewed a mystery bottle of nail polish and you beauties had to guess the brand it was and if you guessed correctly you got put into a draw to win a bottle of the polish for yourselves, well that mystery brand of nail polish in question was Beauty UK and if you read that post you will know I fell in love with the formula, so today I thought I'd review 3 more shades that I've been trying out.
I must admit Beauty UK aren't usually a brand I go straight towards in Superdrug, I honestly don't know why because I've been road testing alot of their makeup and nail polishes recently and the brand is actually very good and so affordable. The one thing that has really knocked my socks off is their NEW flagship Nails collection. The collection contains 22 different statement shades ranging from nudes, pastels, brights and even deeper shades that all have a quick drying, high gloss, long wearing formula and as you will know if you saw my previous review of Coral Burst I absolutely loved the formula.
The 3 shades that I have to share with you all today are Pink Pop*, Tealed with a Kiss* and Ultra Violet*, I mean just look how stunning and fun those shades are for Summer! As I said before it's not just the shades I love about these nail polishes its also the formula, it's just so lovely and very easy to work with, it applies smooth with no bubbling or streaking what so ever and is slightly thicker that some other nail polishes I've tried, which I automatically like because I find thicker nail polishes seem to last so well. I find one coat was enough for these particular shades to be completely opaque although I always like to apply 2 coats for extra lasting power. Talking of lasting power... These little beauties last on my nails for a good 4 days and that's without a top coat which I think is amazing! The finish of the Beauty UK nail polishes really reminds me of a gel like finish, it's lovely and glossy and feels very hard wearing just like a gel polish would, arrrhh I just love this formula, it's so amazing and really replicates high end quality.
As for the packaging... Each glass bottle holds 9ml's worth of polish and is finished off with a white rounded plastic lid that screws on tightly making it nice and secure, you will notice the bottles are very similar to Models Own. The brush doesn't differ from most nail polishes really but the bristles do cut off at a sharp, straight edge which is great for precision and the bristles do hold their shape well and don't shed at all whilst applying the polish thank goodness!
Overall I love these nail polishes from the new Beauty UK Nails Collection, their perfect for shades for the Summer months ahead and look awesome worn all together too. I really do favour the gel like formula and the fact it lasts on my nails a good 4 days is pretty impressive considering I'm a very hands on person at work and at home, definitely and 10 out of 10 polish for me, and it's so affordable at just £2.99 a bottle, woohoo!!
Have you tried the new Beauty UK Nail Polishes beaut's?? What did you think?? I'd love to know.
May have to get ultra violet, such a sucker for a purple!
I love all three of these colours! I'm so impressed with the formula of this polish, it's amazing for the price!
I tried one their gel polishes a while back and I was seriously impressed. Never would of thought they were a budget brand!
Lovely quality for the price, the shades are pretty too!
I always ignored this brand as I have purchased from them before, that is years ago and wasn't really impressed with it, but they really have upped their game. These polishes look so pretty.

Phases One and Two of the National Environmental Literacy Assessment (NELA) relied on four data collection instruments: The Middle School Environmental Literacy Survey (MSELS), the School Information Form, the Program Information Form, and the Teacher Information Form. The primary outcomes of these phases were to identify general levels of environmental literacy (measured by the MSELS) and to compare these levels both within and across the studies. Through the comparison of these data sets, we could identify schools in which grade level cohorts of students displayed markedly higher levels of environmental literacy variables than their peer cohorts at other schools. However, questions remain concerning the magnitude and influence of variables that were reported on those survey forms, as well as the relationships among variables measured by the MSELS scales. The major research questions that will guide this Phase are: 1) To what extent do the variables measured by these Forms during Phase One and Two appear to have contributed to or influenced students' environmental literacy scores; 2) How do these variables appear to interact with each other; and 3) What are the relative contributions of knowledge, affect, and skill variables to actual commitment or behavior. The resulting analyses of this study will be shared both through peer-reviewed publications as well as appropriate professional conferences.

I love the way fans take music and add graphics to the work making the two into such a great piece of art. My dad's favourite group was Genesis and he sort of made me like them too by playing their CD's in the car on trips. It sort of grows on you and I got older and played guitar I realised how musically genius this band was. Using clever lyrics with weird time changes, some of the bands output was brilliant.
No more so than this track, a 23 minute epic. The wonderful illustrations in this video make the song so brilliant. A classic tale of good and evil, it weaves its way along. Watch in awe.
I love this track and video from Steven Wilson. The music is so atmospheric on it's own, superb guitar work from the prog-father, and the video adds to the atmosphere telling a sad story that soars and falls to the depths with the mood of the music. Steven Wilson at his best.


For years I've had a very macho view of all aspects of sun protection, never taking it quite as seriously as every one else around me, lumping it in with the other modern obsessions like always having at least a gallon of bottled water at hand, the terror a near by phone masts and nits (if you haven't got kids then you hopefully won't have experienced this one). You see for me the sun was still a glorious thing – something I recon you can only truly appreciate when it pops over the horizon and hits your face when the predawn temperatures are -40 degrees C – and again when it pops down over the horizon and the cold crashes in behind it.
For me sunscreen had always been 'sun tan cream', sun glasses were just for posers who wanted to look like Tom Cruise in Top Gun, and people who wore bandanas were just going prematurely bald. Perhaps this attitude came about because I thought I didn't spend enough time under its baking rays for it to really matter, preferring instead to climb when it was at its weakest, or sit at this computer, Golem like, until it set behind the Tescos down the hill. Sure I'd been to hot places, but usually I just got fried like all Brits did, taking lobster sized blisters, skin shedding like autumn leaves, and the odd bought of heat stroke as just part of climbing. Then this January I went out to New Zealand climbing and came face to face with the reality of what the sun can do, and more importantly will be doing with more and more ferocity in the coming years. Basically I did what I always did, went on the hill with no hat, sunscreen or sunglasses. I soon noticed that I was the odd one out, with the locals looking like extras out of Laurence of Arabia, all chanting some song about "mad dogs and English men". I'd got an inclining that something was different in the fact that everyone seemed obsessed about me having a hat all the time and for the first few days I though this was some kind of druggy code. People also seemed to be constantly rubbing sun screen into their legs, and dressing like Roger Moore. Even when they wore their shorts – of which Kiwi climbers are famed – they'd wear polypro long johns underneath. In fact some even wore long trousers!
Once on the hill I realised why these precautions were vital, as I quickly began to turn red, even on days that seemed as overcast as a typical muggy day in Sheffield. It turned out that New Zealand had very little ozone above it, and that UV rays were as big a problem as avalanches, rock falls and dodgy river crossings, and they told me that sun related cancers were the fastest growing cancers on the planet. All had tales of scary skin complaints and visits to the doctors, and I saw that my old fashioned approach was downright dangerous. Suddenly I wished I had a hat.
Not wanting to look like a show off, the term ultraviolet (UV) means "beyond violet", with ultra being Latin for beyond, with UV light being the shortest wavelengths of visible light (UV-A is also known as black light, as it is invisible to our eyes). Some animals can see these UV rays, such as some birds, which have developed special plumage that only shows up best via UV light. One interesting factoid is that the urine of some animals is much easier to spot with UV – a handy tip if it's also the case with humans – allowing anyone with a UV lamp to find the nearest telephone box or bush shelter.
Obviously ultraviolet light – like all light – hits us after a tiring 93 million mile journey from the sun, and is made up of and is split into three bands; UV-A, UV-B and UV-C. The atmosphere helps to reduce the intensity of the rays, filtering out the most harmful rays (UV-C), plus they are further slowed by dust, pollution and clouds (this is why climbing in non polluted mountains at high altitude increases your risk of sun damage, plus for every 1000 metres you ascend, the level of UV radiation increases by between 10% and 12%). The actual wavelengths of UV light are roughly 400 to 320 nanometres (nm) for UV-A (an nanometre is a billionth of a metre), 320 to 290 nm for UV-B, and 290 to 200 nm for UV-C, with visible light being 700 to 400 nm. Although it may seem backwards, the shorter the wavelength and the lower the number, the greater the energy level of the light and the more damage it can do. For example, direct exposure to UV-C for a length of time would destroy the skin. Fortunately, UV-C is completely absorbed by the atmosphere before it reaches the ground (the ozone layer reduces the intensity of light in the range of 200 - 340 NM). The longer wavelengths of UV-A can pass through the atmosphere, with the amount of UV-B depends on many factors. It's often said that UV can pass straight trough clouds – but if this was true we'd be wearing sun hats all year long. The best rule of thumb is if the sun is still shining brightly enough through the clouds that it makes your eyes hurt, or severely squint, then about 50% of the UVB is coming through. If it is cloudy enough that you can't really tell where the sun even is, then UVB strength is likely at less than 20%. If the clouds are dense enough that it seems dark and gloomy, or if the clouds are actually raining a real rain, then UVB risk is probably negligible.
Every climber's experienced sun damage, in fact it's a badge of honour having a deep tan, freckles, blond hair and the odd wrinkle. All these things are signs of damage, and could be the procure to the seriously un cool skin conditions like solar Keratoses (small rough bumps and scabs on the skin also known as sunspots), Basal cell carcinomas (scabby growths) and most serous of all, melanoma (I'm sure you've heard of that one).
I don't have the space to go into why UV damages our skin (it's all to do with DNA), but the most important thing to understand is the huge increase in the likely hood of suffering from some serious form of sun damage, with figures showing for example that since 1930 the chances of suffering from melanoma have increased from 1 in 1,500 to 1 in 90 in 2005.
It's been known for a long time that UV-A penetrated the skin more deeply than UV-B, but it was thought that only UV-B was harmful, but new research is suggesting that UV-A is also potentially deadly, as the photons can also be absorbed by the DNA and cause critical mutations like UV-B. This fact seems to be corroborated by the increase in skin cancers from users of sun beds, which typically only project UV-A.
UV-B is by far the worse of the two, leading to the most skin cancers in humans, eye damage, and numerous other environmental effects. In the past this was no biggy, as our wonderful ozone layer filtered out much of the UV-B, this is rapidly changing with is depletion. The amount of UV-B radiation in natural sunlight is dependent upon the concentration of ozone molecules in the atmosphere, and the level of ozone is effected by several factors including day, location, season and altitude. There is less ozone over the equator than over other parts of the world, exempting the seasonal ozone hole in Antarctica, but with the current pattern of ozone depletion the incidence of skin cancer is set to continue to rise at least until the year 2050 and probably beyond. For each 1% reduction in ozone, the incidence of non-melanoma skin cancer will increase by 2%. This means that a sustained 10% decrease in the average ozone concentration would lead to about 250,000 additional non-melanoma skin cancers each year. It's time to get yourself a hat.
Incidentally there is also an increase in UV-B in the southern hemisphere in summer, as the earth is closer to the sun – which gives New Zealand and Australia 10% more UV-B then the UK.
Macular degeneration — Macular degeneration is an eye disorder, which causes damage to the central part of the retina, the paper-thin tissue at the back of the eye where light-sensitive cells send visual signals to the brain. Sharp, clear, "straight ahead" vision is processed by the macula. Damage to the macula results in the development of blind spots and blurred or distorted vision. When the macula becomes damaged, many daily activities such as driving and reading become increasingly difficult and it is the major cause of irreversible vision loss in Caucasians 50 yrs and older.
Cataracts — Exposure to UV radiation over several years may be a major cause of cataracts, a clouding of the lens. About a third of people over 65 have cataracts in the UK in one or both eyes.
Burns — Over-exposure to ultraviolet light, such as walking across a glacier with unprotected eyes, can cause a temporary, but painful burn to the surface of the eye (cornea), similar to a sunburn on the skin. Most people only expect this to be a problem on blue sky days but you should follow the same advice on clouds mentioned above. Often the first warning signs are irritation of the eyes, but the full effects will probably be felt around 8 hours after exposure – when your eyes become bloodshot and feel like they're full of iron fillings and will remain like that for up to 36 hours. To treat snow blindness apply a cool, wet compresses to help ease the burn on each eye and take an oral pain medication like ibuprofen. Try and keep the eyes covered for as long as possible, as light will irritate the eyes. Luckily there should be no long term side effects.
Pterygium — An abnormal, but usually non-cancerous, growth on the corner of the eye near the nose. A pterygium can grow over the cornea, partially blocking vision and sometimes requires surgery to be removed.
Cancer — Repeated over-exposure to UV rays can cause cancer of the eyelids and surrounding skin.
If you ask most people to name some form of sun protection the first thing that comes into their heads is sun screen. In fact sunscreen should be considered as the last line of defence against UV, as it's proven to be unreliable at giving full protection. If you look at nearly all desert peoples they all protect themselves not by lathering themselves in coconut oil and monkey juice, but by simply covering up (yes I am ignoring those trend bucking Aborigines!). And anyone heading into the UV should follow their example.
First off did you know that clothing also has sun protection factor like sun screen? No you probably wouldn't because most manufactures don't bother telling you this, but it is important as UV can penetrate your layers. Some manufactures like Patagonia and The North Face included this in their summer clothing descriptions (usually having an SPF of 30), but most of the time it's down to common sense (although I think this is an area that needs more promotion). First off although some fabrics offer more protection then others (such as 100% polyester which provides 2 to 3 times more protection then any other fabric) it's more down to the weave rather then the fabric, with a tighter weave having a higher SPF. By doubling up on layers you also double up the SPF. Darker colours also increase this, with black providing 5 times more protection then white – which kind of goes against what you're brought up to believe, and wet fabrics loose up to a third of their SPF.
The most important area to concentrate with clothing is the head, as this has the most exposed skin if you're wearing the correct clothing (long sleeves and trousers). First off you need a good sun hat, and if you're a climber then this will have to be of a baseball style (so it will fit under a helmet). To this you should attach (via Velcro or you can sew it on) a piece of fabric 'Foreign Legion' style to protect the sides of the face and the neck. You can further increase protection for very hostile places (like glaciers and snow fields at mid day), by wearing a second bandana (or Buff) over your mouth and nose – stage coach robber style. With a pair of sunglasses this should provide a huge amount of protection. This approach will not only reduce UV damage, but also keep you cooler and more comfortable.
Sunscreen (it's no longer called sun block as it's a misnomer) works by either organic chemical compounds that absorb ultraviolet light (such as oxybenzone) or an opaque material that reflects light (such as titanium dioxide, zinc oxide etc), or a combination of both (some people mix a small amount of zinc oxide with a traditional high SPF cream in a film canister for example). These lotions are rated with sun protection factors (SPF). The SPF numbers on the packaging can range from as low as 2 to greater than 60, and these numbers refer to the product's ability to deflect the sun's burning rays. The sunscreen SPF rating is calculated by comparing the amount of time needed to produce a sunburn on sunscreen protected skin to the amount of time needed to cause a sunburn on unprotected skin. For example, if a sunscreen is rated SPF 2 and a fair-skinned person who would normally turn red after ten minutes of exposure in the sun uses it, it would take twenty minutes of exposure for the skin to turn red. A sunscreen with an SPF of 15 would allow that person to multiply that initial burning time by 15, which means it would take 15 times longer to burn, or 150 minutes. SPF protection does not actually increase proportionately with a designated SPF number. In higher SPFs, such as an SPF of 30, 97 percent of sun burning rays are deflected, while an SPF of 15 indicates 93 percent deflection and an SPF of 2 equals 50 percent deflection. This isn't to say that higher numbers are unnecessary, as they do increase protection in unusually hostile environments (mountains rather then beaches), but they are much more expensive then an SPF 15 cream, so this should be most climbers bench march SPF. Whatever the PTF, reapply it more often to areas that are prone to burning, and use a buddy system to make sure everything's covered, and keep an eye out for each other throughout the day.
While SPF is the universal measurement of UV-B protection, no comparable standard exists for UV-A and it comes as a surprises many people is that most standard sunscreens absorb very little UV-A, which may be critical to the creation of skin cancer. Approximately 65% of melanomas and 90% of basal and squamous cell skin cancers are attributed to UV exposure, but scientists don't know how much the UV-A impacts on these figures, but Australian researchers found that UV-A rays caused DNA damage to the cells deep within the skin. It is this layer of cells that regenerates our skin and it is feared that damage to the DNA of these cells may increase a person's risk of developing skin cancer.
The danger is that people will assume that they are fully protected once they've applied their sunscreen, which isn't the case. The result has been an increase in specific 'broad spectrum protection' sunscreens that provide protection for both UV-A and UV-B, but the underlying point is that we mustn't assume that these sunscreens alone will protect us. So whether you're smearing in tanning oil or clown makeup it's vital to cover up as much as possible, and use sunscreen in the areas where this isn't achievable.
There are so many types of sunscreen that selecting the right one can be quite confusing. Sunscreens are available in many forms including ointments, creams, gels, lotions and wax sticks. The type of sunscreen you choose is a matter of personal choice. Ideally, sunscreens should be water resistant, so they cannot be easily removed by sweating or swimming, and should have an SPF of 15 or higher that provides broad-spectrum coverage against all ultraviolet light wavelengths. Ingredients which provide broad-spectrum protection include benzophenones (oxybenzone), cinnamates (octylmethyl cinnamate and cinoxate), sulisobenzone, salicylates, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and avobenzone (Parsol 1789).
It's best to have a personal tube of sunscreen, with the smaller sized tubes (40ml) being best, as thy can be easily stowed in a handy pocket so as to make replying more likely. Lip balm with a SPF of at least 15 should also always be carried, and should be hung around the neck on a piece of cord for regular application (sunscreen on the lips is quickly removed so needs constant attention, plus you can dab it on your nose while you're at it). I won't go into specifics but good quality cream and balms that fill all the above criteria are available from RoC, Uvistat, Piz Buin (mountain), Coppertone, Spectraban, U.V Control and KINeSYS.
The importance of good quality eye ware has never been higher, both in the high mountains and just out and about, with UV levels increasing wherever you may climb. Many people imagine that good quality glasses will cost a fortune, no doubt clocking the price of the latest Oakley or Ray bans in the duty free. This isn't the case and it's vital that you make a distinction between fashion and function.
First off it's not worth buying expensive sun glasses or goggles. Why? Well first of they'll get scratched faster then a James brown vinyl at a hip hop gig if you're wearing them on routes, stowing them in your rucksack, and propping them on your head in a French 'style'. What you want is a solid pair that fits well and provides good coverage over the eyes (and that means FULL for high altitude), and passes CE standards.
Category 3: 8% - 18% visible light transmitted. Suitable for general use, plus Alpine and Himalayan mountaineering, but not for prolonged exposure at high altitude.
Category 4: 3% - 8% visible light transmitted. For prolonged exposure at high altitude. Will be found too dark for everyday use, and are dangerous for driving (in fact they are illegal – so go for that French 'style' when passing any police cars).
Go for nylon (not plastic) frames that are bendy (so they don't break), and warm when it's super cold (you won't look like Tom Cruise in Top Gun with those aviator ray bans frozen to the bridge of your nose!). Get a soft glasses retainer that works, and lens wise don't get too bogged down in the hype – just make sure they're polycarbonate – so they won't break (scratch resistance doesn't cover cheese grating your face up Matinee!). Make sure your glasses come with a good quality rigid case so they remain in one piece (make sure it's bright, or put stickers on it so it's not forgotten), and consider carrying a second cheap pair in case of emergencies (if you're snow blind but need to move wear both pairs) unless you're also carrying goggles. If it's going to be roasting make yourself a nose shield out of a piece of windproof fleece. Price wise I wouldn't pay more then £40 for a pair of good quality sunglasses, and the same for goggles.
The most important aspect of all though is that they fit, so take your time trying them on, as leaving them off is not an option these days.
Goggles are a good stand by incase your glasses break, and can also be worn be spectacle wearers (as long as they have slots in the foam). Apart from UV they also work wonders when the proverbial hits, saving your eyes from both the wind, the cold and bighting hail and snow. Goggles follow the same CE categories as sunglasses –and all the same advice applies. The main point of interest is that they have double lenses, fit your face and have the correct lens colour, as this can make or break your route choices!
• In low light and fog, yellow, gold and amber lenses filter out blue light, emphasizing shadows in the snow so you can see bumps better. They also work well in moderate light.
• In bright light, dark tints (especially green) will keep your eyes more comfortable.
• Polarized lenses block reflected glare off the horizontal plane and are great when it's bright out. But they may not be ideal near the end of the day when long shadows appear in the snow, because they are usually made with a darker tint than most sun lenses.
• Mirror (or "flash") coatings will block some, but not a lot of glare. They are usually more of a cosmetic than a practical feature.
• For night climbing use only clear lenses.
Personally I've never paid that much attention to what lenses I have, as they spend much of the time in my sack, but clear goggles would be best for the UK (cat 0) and darker tints for the high mountains (cat 3), and in fact the goggles I use are a pair of 15 Euro kids ones.
One aspect that is annoying when wearing eye ware is fogging. Most products ship with an anti fogging coating that soon wears off, but there are alternatives. Products such as Pro Fog, Fog Tech and the fantastically named Cat Crap, will make a real difference when it comes to stay moisture free. If you have trouble finding these kinds of products in climbing shops, search on the web for paint balling and motorbike retailers, or try the old school method of just using washing up liquid (I'm told that's what ainsley harriot uses!).
If you somehow find yourself without any eye ware at all, and the sun will defiantly fry your eye balls then it's time to improvise. The way to do this is to somehow reduce the amount of light entering the eye to a minimum. Eskimos used to use a piece of wood with slits in (no fogging!), and you can do the same by using a piece of material in the same way (scarf, reversed balaclava or sock). Just remember though that when you get back to that trendy bar to take it off!
If your wear prescription glasses what are your options? Probably the best one is to switch over to disposable or monthly contact lenses, as this makes life far easier all round, allowing you to wear any glasses or goggles you want. If that's not an option then it has to be prescription sunglasses. In the past I've had trouble getting any descent info from any high street shops that do such lenses, and it seems that the best bet is to mail order them from http://www.heavyglare.com in the US, which seems to be the answer to ever 4 x eyed climbers dreams.
Skin cancer is the fastest rising cancer in the UK – and probably the world, and in the UK there are 65,000 cases each year, with 2,000 proving fatal. Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer and begins in melanocytes— cells that make the skin pigment called melanin. Although melanoma accounts for only about 4% of all skin cancer cases, it causes most skin cancer-related deaths. The good news is that melanoma is often curable if it is detected and treated in its early stages. In men, melanoma is found most often on the area between the shoulders and hips or on the head and neck. In women, melanoma often develops on the lower legs. It may also appear under the fingernails or toenails or on the palms or soles. The chance of developing melanoma increases with age, but it affects all age groups and is one of the most common cancers in young adults.
The fairer your skin, the higher your risk of skin cancer. If you freckle or burn in the sun, you are at highest risk. Still, people of all skin colours can develop skin cancer.
If you must be in the sun, cover up with clothing, sunscreen and sunglasses. Having a sun burn is more then just uncool. Remember that a sun tan is skin damage. Sunscreens should be applied to dry skin 15-30 minutes BEFORE going outdoors. When applying sunscreen, pay particular attention to the face, ears, hands and arms, and coat the skin liberally. One ounce, enough to fill a shot glass, is considered the amount needed to cover the exposed areas of the body properly. Be careful to cover exposed areas completely – a missed spot could mean a patchy, painful sunburn. Don't forget that lips get sunburned too, so apply a lip balm that contains sunscreen, preferably with an SPF of 15 or higher. If you're travelling on snow and ice (glaciers) then remember reflected light, meaning you need to apply sun block to the underside of the nose, chin and eye lids (and if you're wearing floppy shorts wear underwear!) The adage "The Higher the Sun, the Bigger the Burn" as the sun's ultraviolet rays are strongest between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. - a good time to stay in the shade if you can.
Don't forget to use a broad spectrum sun screen that protects you from both UV-A and UV-B rays. If you have children who climb apply sunscreen before they go out. Research shows that regular use of sunscreen during the first 18 years of life could reduce the lifetime incidence of skin cancer by 78%.
No matter how hard you try you'll always end up getting some sunburn. This can range from simple embarrassing red marks and 'panda eyes' right through to dangerous and deliberating deep skin damage. There are several types of burns and burn treatments.
Second degree sunburns blister and can be considered a medical emergency if a large area is affected. When a burn is severe, accompanied by a headache, chills or a fever, seek medical help right away. Be sure to protect your skin from the sun while it heals and thereafter. Most studies have found an association between sunburn and enhanced risk for melanoma, particularly if you suffered severe childhood or adolescent sunburn since there is more time for melanoma to develop over your lifetime.


Despite political and racial divisions, wars and rumors of wars, disease, loss, pain and misery… this season is a time of hope as we remember there is a God beyond this world who became a man, walked among us, was killed by His people and the corrupt Roman government, then resurrected to reign forevermore – and He invites us to join His family as the children of God.
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. All the evil of the world can't stand against Him, and ultimate peace can only be found through Him. Our own works can never get us to paradise – only His sacrifice can. He has conquered death and hell – glory be to God.
Have a very Merry Christmas. Blessings on you, your family and your garden.
I'll be back again next week – my great big "2015 Year in Review" post will arrive on the 31st. Stay tuned!
