Q: Sub plots to show two graphs in the same axis

I have two results from two data frame. One for best models , and another one for worst models. I would like to draw bar plots for each dat frame, and  show them in the same axis. Also, I am interested to annotate each bar with the numbers as well. For these, I have attempted to use arguments from Matplotlib's annotate function and pass the coordinates where the annotation shall be done. I wanted to draw sub plots for the above data, but not sure why it is not working. I appreciate your suggestions! Thanks!
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

# random test data
#x = np.linspace(0, 1, 20)
#y = x ** 2
# data in a pandas frame with 2 columns
#df = pd.DataFrame([x, y]).T

fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 2) # (n rows, n cols)
plots1 = sns.barplot(x="Model", y="G-mean", data=BestBaseLine)

# Iterrating over the bars one-by-one
for bar in plots1.patches:

    # Using Matplotlib's annotate function and
    # passing the coordinates where the annotation shall be done
    plots1.annotate(format(bar.get_height(), '.2f'),
                (bar.get_x() + bar.get_width() / 2,
                    bar.get_height()), ha='center', va='center',
                size=10, xytext=(0, 5),
                textcoords='offset points')
plots2 = sns.barplot(x="Model", y="G-mean", data=WorstBaseLine)

# Iterrating over the bars one-by-one
for bar in plots2.patches:

    # Using Matplotlib's annotate function and
    # passing the coordinates where the annotation shall be done
    plots2.annotate(format(bar.get_height(), '.2f'),
                (bar.get_x() + bar.get_width() / 2,
                    bar.get_height()), ha='center', va='center',
                size=10, xytext=(0, 5),
                textcoords='offset points')

# Setting the title for the graph
plt.title("Example 2")
plt.show()

I got the following image.

A: Set up the ax1 and ax2 subplots and set the main graph for each. The annotations are given without any problem, so I think only the structure of the subplots is the cause.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import seaborn as sns

colors = ['#006400','#008000','#228b22','#2e8b57','#3cb371']
sns.set(style="whitegrid")
sns.set_palette(sns.color_palette(colors))

fig, (ax1,ax2) = plt.subplots(1, 2, figsize=(20, 15))
fig.subplots_adjust(wspace=0.2)

plots1 = sns.barplot(x="Model", y="G-mean", data=BestBaseLine, ax=ax1)
# Iterrating over the bars one-by-one
for bar in plots1.patches:

    # Using Matplotlib's annotate function and
    # passing the coordinates where the annotation shall be done
    plots1.annotate(format(bar.get_height(), '.2f'),
                (bar.get_x() + bar.get_width() / 2,
                    bar.get_height()), ha='center', va='center',
                size=10, xytext=(0, 5),
                textcoords='offset points')
ax1.tick_params(axis='x', labelrotation=90)
ax1.set_title("Example 1")

plots2 = sns.barplot(x="Model", y="G-mean", data=WorstBaseLine, ax=ax2)
# Iterrating over the bars one-by-one
for bar in plots2.patches:

    # Using Matplotlib's annotate function and
    # passing the coordinates where the annotation shall be done
    plots2.annotate(format(bar.get_height(), '.2f'),
                (bar.get_x() + bar.get_width() / 2,
                    bar.get_height()), ha='center', va='center',
                size=10, xytext=(0, 5),
                textcoords='offset points')
ax2.tick_params(axis='x', labelrotation=90)
ax2.set_title("Example 2")

plt.show()

Why renewable energy is the future
Institutional investors from across the world have announced plans to invest across the energy infrastructure sector in recent months boosting competition and maturity in this sector of alternative investment, according to JLL Vietnam.
Supplied: JLL
A combination of increased effort to allocate capital to sustainable strategies and stiff competition among investors across the wider real estate and infrastructure asset class continue to put renewable energy strategies in focus.
Vietnam possesses a long coastline, tropical climate, strong agricultural economy, thus creating diverse and abundant conditions for the exploitation and production of wind power, solar power and bio-fuels. A noticeable project this year is the BIM solar power farm in Ninh Thuan, developed by BIM Group of Vietnam in partnership with Phillipines-based AC Energy. The solar farm is composed of three facilities with the combined capacity of 330MW, which is the largest of its kind in Southeast Asia, according to BIM Group.
Government initiatives are further encouraging investors to enter the sector. The Vietnam's Ministry of Industry and Trade released the third draft of the Prime Minister's decision on the mechanism for encouraging the development of solar power project. This is the latest version of the government's ongoing effort to support the renewable energy industry.
Stephen Wyatt, Country Head of JLL Vietnam comments: "Vietnam possesses the geographical characteristics suitable for the production of many renewable energy types. When investors see that the government is willing to support their investment with favorable initiatives, the sustainable sector will become a magnet for investment."
Around the world, cities are gearing up for renewable power. In the US, Chicago plans to power all city properties with wind and solar energy by 2025, equating to more than 900 buildings. Atlanta has committed to reaching 100 percent renewable energy by 2035, but municipal buildings must reach that goal by 2025.
Across Asia, developers and governments are slowly but steadily experimenting with sustainable building approaches and renewable energy to help reduce the region's enormous energy consumption. China is making enormous strides to catch up with Asia's leader in sustainability, Singapore.
As an island nation with limited natural resources, green building has long been a priority for this country. For over a decade, all new buildings have to abide by the nation's own green building code (similar to LEED), resulting in a large number of low and zero carbon buildings. Thanks to this commitment, the building stock in Singapore tends to be better than in other Asian countries, with lower water and energy consumption and a greater focus on creating a climate responsive city.
Stephen concludes: "There is immense pressure on the current power grid in Vietnam and energy prices are expected to rise due to an increase in development activity and consumer demand, especially within the major cities and industrial zones. It is incredibly important that this type of alternative investment plays a dynamic role in the future growth of the country."

Behind the Headlines: Israel Concerned over Saudi Purchase of Arms from the U.S.

See Original Daily Bulletin From This Date
The serious concern expressed in Israeli military circles over Saudi-Arabia's huge purchases of advanced weaponry from the United States and especially the Saudi request for equipment that would endow their American F-15 aircraft with long-range offensive capabilities, stems from the perception of the dangers facing Israel on its eastern front.
According to these circles, the American military hardware being accumulated by the Saudis is far in excess of what is necessary to defend that large, sparsely populated country. It makes sense only if the weapons are intended — as the Israelis believe they are — to bolster the forces of the Arab confrontation states on Israel's east — Jordan, Syria and Iraq.
Those countries can, already, field more than 5000 tanks in an offensive against Israel. Moreover, they possess the military infrastructure to absorb large quantities of war materials, including aircraft, delivered from Saudi Arabia. There is, for example, nothing to prevent the stationing of Saudi F-5 combat jets in Jordan which has the facilities and know-how for their operation.
Israeli military sources say there is no conceivable reason why the Saudis need additional fuel pods to increase the F-15 operational range from its present 720 kilometers to over 1600 kilometers unless offensive operations against Israel are intended.
Nor is there any reason why Saudi Arabia would need three times as many Jaser-guided bombs as Israel possesses or, with a regular army of only 44,500 men, electronic command control equipment capable of coordinating 15 divisions which is — not coincidentally — the approximate size of the combined Jordanian-Syrian-Iraqi forces on the eastern front.
POINT TO ROLE OF SAUDI ARABIA
The Israelis point out that Saudi Arabia has supported Syrian, Iraqi and Jordanian forces in the past. Except during the 1956 Suez campaign, the Saudis have sent expeditionary forces and material to the Arab states directly in conflict with Israel.
In the 1967 war, they dispatched a force to Jordan where it remained until 1977. In the 1973 war, the Yom Kippur War, the Saudis sent troops to Syria. In 1974, 1975 and 1977, Saudi forces participated in joint military exercises with the eastern front states and Saudi aircraft were stationed in the host countries.
In the event of a new war against Israel from the east, the Saudis could participate even without sending an expeditionary force across their borders. They are building three major military bases, one of which, Abouk, is only 216 kilometers' flight from Eilat. With added fuel pods and equipment for mid-air refueling, Saudi jets could reach any target inside Israel.
U.S. INTENTIONS PROBED
The Israelis grant that U.S. intentions are not to provide the Saudis with means to destroy Israel but to reinforce "moderate" Saudi Arabia so that it can function, along with Egypt, as a firm base for American support of friendly nations in the Middle East and adjoining regions.
But the Americans should ask themselves, Israeli experts on Arab affairs say, whether the massive supply of arms to the Saudis is indeed the best way to achieve that objective or whether it could prove to be a disaster.
These experts fear that the U.S. has not learned the lesson of several decades of military and diplomatic mishaps which resulted from arming and otherwise supporting corrupt or unpopular regimes and rulers. They cite as examples Cuba, Vietnam, Libya and North Yemen where, after the pro-American rulers were overthrown in popular uprisings or coups, the American weapons were used against the U.S. or its Western allies and their interests.
The latest case in point is Iran and many informed Israelis and experts abroad wonder whether the Saudi royal family may not soon go the way of the Shah.
SITUATION INSIDE SAUDI ARABIA
According to these sources, the Saudi monarchy is very unstable and is threatened more from within than from outside elements. The bloody events surrounding the seizure of the Koaba Mosque in Mecca, the assassinations on personal or religious grounds within the royal household and court and the presence of Moslem religious fanatics who are infuriated by the monarchy's attempts to westernize the country, all pose potential dangers.
The country is volatile because 85 percent of its population is illiterate and 65 percent is rurally based. Many young illiterates, flowing into the city but finding no work, one ripe for subversive propaganda. Although oil has made Saudi Arabia one of the richest countries in the world, only one percent or its population is employed in the oil industry and of these, half are resident aliens.
Out of 1081 physicians in the country, 938 are foreigners. There is a Moslem Shi'ite minority (the predominant sect in neighboring Iran) centered in the oil producing regions where unrest is said to be rife.
All of these factors make for instability. By arming Saudi Arabia, Israelis say, the U.S. may be providing the very weapons that will soon overthrow the pro-Western monarchy. It is not only Israel's security but American interests that are at stake.

Patir: Sales are growing from coast to coast
Patir's VP of sales and marketing US, Jim Keranen, reports that the company celebrated another successful edition of G2E, with its American Line of chairs and new sports book seating turning heads at the show.
Casino Review: How did this year's G2E go for Patir?
Jim Keranen: We had a terrific show! We built off the momentum from last year and our team could not be happier with their performance. Our opportunities and sales are growing from coast to coast which is the growth trajectory we had anticipated when we entered the US market.
CR: Which product lines were you highlighting at the show and what are some of their standout features?
JK: We showcased our American Line of chairs, new models which incorporate cutting-edge design while offering full functionality for casino operators. We've really strived to create the most ergonomic and user-friendly chair possible with this line. After all, a comfortable customer is one who will play for longer. Alongside this, our sport book chairs were also a major hit for us at the show.
CR: Did you debut any new products at the show?
JK: As I mentioned, we presented our new sports book line. This is something we're really excited about, as with the range of options we offer, no one is really doing anything like us. We've taken the high level of craftsmanship we put into our casino floor chairs and have carried that over into the new line. Let's face it, whether in the casino or the sports book, chairs are going to take a beating given the rigours of day to day usage. That's why it's important for an operator to ensure they have the most durable, highest grade product possible. Choosing Patir's seating solutions is decision that will stand the test of time.
CR: What are the key product features that define Patir's seating solutions?
JK: We have a 400,000 sq ft facility that is just in process of completing its latest four story expansion. But what that means is our design and construction abilities are virtually limitless in terms of what we can offer in casino seating. We keep coming back to craftsmanship, but the quality seating solutions we produce at the price point we offer really set us apart in the market. This year's G2E once again confirmed it, with early adopters in the US placing new orders for their new sports book and casino expansions. CR: Looking forward, what will be some of the focuses for Patir heading into 2020? JK: Naturally we're still looking to further increase our footprint in the US, but with more and more sports books coming online and the numerous casino expansions happening nationwide, I can predict that we're going to be quite busy for the next twelve months!

Primary schools Planetarium show goes on tour – booking open!
Our super-popular planetarium show is going back out on the road this November and now's your chance to book it for your primary school. Our Schools Projects Officer Ian will be your host – sharing stories that ancient people told about the stars as well as pointing out star constellations that your students may be able to see for themselves in the night sky this autumn.
Ian is a bit of an expert on the stars – as well as writing and delivering Science Oxford's Starry Skies show for the past three years, he spent his summers as a student presenting planetarium shows at the Exploratory in Bristol. He loves the immersive nature of our show – which takes place in an amazing small, rounded cave-like planetarium and mostly in the dark – but his very favourite part is having the opportunity to inspire young minds with some incredible facts. For example, did you know that Betelgeuse, one of the stars that make up a constellation called Orion, is over 900 times bigger than our Sun?
We are very grateful to STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratories, without whom we would be unable to put on the show. STFC drive ground-breaking advances in science, engineering, computing and technology, including significant involvement in more than 200 international space missions.
Dates are extremely limited, so get in touch on [email protected]or call 01865 810000 to book.

Applying nail polish can indeed make your nails look pretty and shiny. But because nail polish contains all sorts of chemicals, many of which are harsh as easily revealed by the way nail polish smells, regularly using it can actually do more harm than good. From time to time, it's definitely a good idea to let your nails go bare for days.
Below you will come across some simple tips on how to keep your nails looking shiny even without the use of nail polish. They are also something that can help make your nails tough as, uh, nails.
First things first: make sure that you mind what you put in your mouth if you want your nails to look shiny without any help from nail polish. You don't really have to remember a lot of things diet-wise. Just make sure that your everyday meals consist of healthy foods that supply your body with a variety of nutrients.
Your nails require many different nutrients in order for them to stay healthy. And when your nails are healthy, they appear shiny, allowing you to confidently flash them even without the thinnest coating of nail polish.
Protein, iron, calcium, vitamins A, C, D and E, as well as those B vitamins are all needed by your nails. There is no need to have a headache figuring out which foods contain which nutrients. What you need to do is make sure that you opt for a well-balanced meal every single time to have your nails supplied with what they need.
Your nails need to stay hydrated if you want them to look shiny. Instead of frequently applying nail polish on them, it is a much better idea to regularly massage a little petroleum jelly on each one.
Petroleum jelly helps lock in moisture, keeping your nails from ending up dry. You don't want your nails to wind up dry if you are a beauty-conscious person because it's something that can cause real problems. Dryness can keep your nails from appearing shiny, and it can also leave them brittle and highly susceptible to breaking.
It's a good idea for you to have a small tub of petroleum jelly in your bag. After washing your hands, make it a habit to apply a little of the gooey product on your nails to prevent dryness.
There are so many women who swear by the effectiveness of coconut oil in making their nails shiny. Just like petroleum jelly, coconut oil can help save your nails from dryness that can leave them fragile. What's so nice about applying coconut oil on a regular basis is it can also help ward off nail fungus.
If you cannot get your hands on a bottle of coconut oil, that's okay. You may also simply count on olive oil to keep your nails hydrated properly all the time, allowing them to shine and stay strong.
There are plenty of other healthy oils that you may use aside from coconut and olive oil in hydrating your nails. Almond, jojoba and sesame oil are some wonderful examples. With so many available options out there, you don't have to apply nail polish all the time just to keep your nails worthy of everyone's attention.
It's also a great idea for you to regularly have nail soaks. No, you really don't have to hit the nail salon every single time because it's something that can be done in the comfort of your own home.
One of the easiest to obtain nail soak solution can be found in your refrigerator, and that's milk. But before you start soaking your nails in it, get it warmed first in the microwave. Milk contains plenty of nutrients, some of which are greatly needed by your nails for them to stay hydrated and healthy, and also shine without the help of nail polish.
You may also regularly soak your nails in rose water. No access to rose water? No worries as you may simply opt for freshly-squeezed lemon juice that not only strengthens nails, but also keeps discoloration at bay.

Brackets and shades in Gantt: Looking to highlight a period like a holiday in your Gantt chart? You can now add "brackets" with connected "shades" and customize how they should look. For now, brackets can only be placed in the footer row.
Empty labels were somewhat hard to find in Gantt previously. We've made them stand out a bit more.
You can now select and move columns in Gantt - just as you can with rows. Equality is nice - right?
Setting background color on a row in Gantt is often useful, so we added the possibility to do this as well.
We've added Stars as milestone shapes.
Improved date axis: The date axis is now a better version of itself. We've added the possibility to adjust the start and end date independently from your data and from each other, which is great for those long time series that keep expanding with a Greedy data connection. We've also improved automatic labeling and added support for "Day" as a unit. Finally, you can now control which date granularity "levels" you want to display by clicking the date axis and toggling on/off.
Improved value axis: The value axis has also gotten some upgrades. It's now way easier to see if a max or min value is in the automatic or manual mode, and much easier to reset it. Just select the axis, and reset buttons will appear for all settings that are not in an automatic mode.
We polished the menus for highlights a bit. They're now looking nice and shiny.
What sign (+/-) should a percentage change from a negative to a positive value have? We think + makes the most sense, so we've updated the highlight calculations in charts to reflect this. (For the math heads out there, we now divide by the absolute value).
When using markers in line charts, we've noticed that many want the marker color to be the same as the line color. So we added an option in the color picker to "Link color to line", and set this as the new default. You can still choose any color you want though, of course.
Using the column and row resizing menu in Visual Grids was not great if you were connected to an external monitor. Often the menu was a bit of a tease, disappearing just when the mouse was hovering over it. We've taught it some manners and told it to stay put for you.
In some rare cases, moving the data editor from one screen to another external screen would trigger a crash. That shouldn't happen, so it doesn't anymore.
We improved robustness in file reading from Sharepoint and OneDrive, making it work in some situations where it didn't before.
Up till now it has been possible to establish connections to unsaved Excel workbooks. That doesn't make much sense, so we removed that option.
When converting Grunts to PPT shapes, we used to add an empty text box for all cells. That' didn't make much sense, so we stopped doing that.
Fixed: Highlight arrows sometimes looked bad when converted to PPT shapes.
Fixed: Drag-to-duplicate objects with Smart selection On would appear in the wrong position.
Fixed: Templates were inserted with the date and number format of the creator, not the user inserting it.
Toggling off "Paste as Grunt" would break copy/pasting of existing Grunt objects. It now works as expected, only affecting behavior when copy/pasting ranges from Excel.
Fixed: Processes in Gantt would sometimes stack where they weren't supposed to.
Fixed: Milestones in Gantt would occasionally skip a day forward or backward when drag-moved.
Fixed: Label text boxes in Gantt would be as long as the longest in the column.
Right-click on Gantt rows and columns is now working again.
Fixed: Level difference connector points were offset when on the left side in line charts.
Fixed: In some rare cases for some older charts, the axis titles could not be turned on.


I get together with a group of friends to play Bingo every couple of months. We affectionately call each other the "Bing-Hos". I know, we're so funny. In the time we've been playing, I've identified a few groups that work together as if part of their own ecosystem.
Group 1: The Bing-Hos – That's us, 30- and 40-something moms just getting together for a laugh and maybe to win a little money.
Group 2: The Blue Hairs – These are the hard-core Bingo attendees. They play at least 10 packs AND have one of those machines with 20 more packs on it. They have approximately 48 daubers in various neon colors. If Troll Dolls were still popular, there would be 20 of them to bless the Bingo packs. Think Mimi on the old "Drew Carrey Show".
Group 3: The Family-Nighters – Family night at the Bingo hall? Believe it! These are the folks who have their older kids daubing a pack for them and their younger kids lovingly stashed under the table.
Group 4: The Workers – On the night we go to Bingo, The Workers are lovely older gentlemen raising money for a group that supports kids in the community in some way. They make the Bing-Hos and the Family Nighters feel better about spending money on Bingo because it's "for the kids".
Allow me to set the scene: 15 minutes before the game, and the lobby and concession areas are teeming. The Blue Hairs are selecting their machines, and the Bing-Hos are waiting for their friends to arrive before getting in line to buy packs. The Family-Nighters are buying candy for their little kids to eat under the table. The Workers are selling packs and extra pull tickets (more on these later) at a feverish pace. Excitement is in the air. Could this be my night to finally win?
As game time approaches, everyone gets settled. The Bing-Hos are telling stories and sharing jokes. The Blue Hairs are giving them the "stink-eye" already, afraid that they will be noisy. They switch dauber colors for good luck. The Family-Nighters have to take the baby outside because it is crying. Then, the main Worker (the announcer) lays down the rules. This includes keeping voices down during the games. The Blue Hairs give the stink-eye to the Bing-Hos again.
As this is going on, other Workers are selling pull-ticket games called "Blazing Balls". I wish I was making that up. These are a way to win extra money during the games. The main Worker asks throughout the night if everyone has their "Blazing Balls". The Bing-Hos and the Family-Nighters snicker every time. My friend says, "You know, they make a cream for that!" More snickering ensues, more stink-eye from the Blue Hairs.
The game begins, and quiet envelops the room. Well, mostly. The main Worker has to clear his throat after every number. I wonder if he needs a bottle of water. A Bing-Ho makes a joke about having a "juicy dauber", followed by quiet snickers. A Blue Hair wants to throw her rabbit's foot at them. The Family-Nighter little kids are coloring under the table as if this is their natural habitat.
As the games go on, some Blue Hairs win, some Family-Nighers win, and my friend wins a Blazing Balls ticket game. I never win. But that's okay, because it's "for the children", remember? At the end of the night, the winning Blue Hairs are chatting it up with the Workers, while the losing ones drag their feet out the door. The Family-Nighters are cleaning the spills their kids made under the table. And the Bing-Hos? They're counting the number of times they were shushed, still joking about juicy daubers, and looking forward to their next Bingo experience.

Criminals have failed to pay more than £5 million of fines imposed by courts in Scotland, it has emerged.
There are now question marks over the Scottish Government's plan to extend the presumption against short jail sentences to 12 months amid fears that offenders don't take alternative punishments seriously enough.
The latest figures from the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service (SCTS) show £5.2 million of sheriff court fines from 2014-15 to 2016-17 were unpaid – 15.9 per cent of the total handed out in that period. The sum includes £2m of fines issued back in 2014-15.
Court bosses insist the system is improving. The majority of the £32.6m in sheriff court fines imposed over the period have been paid (£25.6m or 78.3 per cent), with payments on track for a further £1.9m (5.8 per cent).
But Scottish Conservative justice spokesman Liam Kerr said the figures show many criminals are treating the rule of courts with contempt.
Ministers have already introduced a presumption against three-month jail terms. But the number of these sentences handed down by courts has barely shifted, prompting concerns they are being snubbed by judges. though they need to provide a written explanation if they choose to impose the shorter sentences.
The SCTS said that since it took responsibility for the collection and enforcement of fines, rates have "steadily improved and remain strong".
The organisation said that 84 per cent of the value of sheriff court fines imposed from 1 April, 2014 to 31 March, 2017 has either been paid or is on track to be paid. In addition, more than £55m of the value of all penalties due to be paid has been paid or is on track to be paid in instalments.
Clamping cars, and deducting payment directly from benefits, savings or wages are among the measures it uses to pursue unpaid penalties.

Trump Threatens To Sue His Accuser
Goodbye, Rights: California Democrats Aim to Raise Purchasing Age for Guns
California voters will soon have an opportunity to vote on whether to break their state into three separate parts, but it seems that Democrats are determined to destroy the place long before then. If a day has gone by that Sacramento elitists aren't ripping a hole into federal law or otherwise taking a matchbook to the Constitution, we must have missed it. This week, their focus is (again) firearms, where they are hoping to turn California into the gun-free zone that has worked to stop exactly zero mass shootings over the past twenty-five years. In a blatant infringement of the Second Amendment, they want to ban all Californians under the age of 21 from buying a gun.
The proposal comes to the legislature courtesy of Assembly Bill 3, an initiative written by Assemblyman Rob Bonta and co-signed by Sen. Anthony Portantino, both of whom are (surprise!) Democrats. If passed into law – which has a pretty good chance of happening in a state desperate to be a shining model of liberal stupidity for the rest of the country – it would leave legal adults of 18, 19, and 20 years of age unable to exercise the constitutional freedoms guaranteed them by the Founding Fathers. But then, what use does California have for such an old, racist document as the Constitution of the United States, anyway?
California already has a 21-age limit when it comes to selling handguns; if this bill is passed, it would extend that restrictions to all firearms. Portantino also included in his amendment a clause that would not allow a customer to purchase more than one gun within a single 30-day period.
"As a parent, I've been distressed about what's going on in Florida and very encouraged by the activism by the students," said Portantino in February. "Anybody who has watched the young people has to be moved and shame on folks in Washington who are not moved. If they are not going to do it, we'll do it."
"California already wisely mandates that someone be at least 21 years of age to purchase a handgun," said Bonta. "It's time to extend that common-sense law to long guns in order to enhance public safety."
It's pretty amazing that Democrats in California (and, to be fair, elsewhere around the country) think a kid of 18 is too irresponsible to buy a gun but PLENTY responsible enough to join the Marines and have a gun issued to them. What sense does that make? Also, aren't these the same Democrats who occasionally propose that we lower the voting age to 16 so we can take advantage of all that timeless wisdom we see from high school shooting survivors?
This is a blatant violation of the Constitution, and we almost hope the governor signs it just so it can be shot down in court someday soon. Liberal gun-grabbers need to be reminded forcefully that their twisted version of "common sense" has no home in America.

After a quick playoff exit, the Giants look towards next season
Jaime C. Harris | 1/12/2017, 9:56 a.m.
Pierre Paul Contributed
The New York Giants' first playoff appearance in five years was short-lived. The Green Bay Packers dismissed the Giants by 38-13 at Lambeau Field last Sunday in what was the NFL's marquee matchup on the opening weekend of the playoffs.
The game became anticlimactic at 9:19 of the fourth quarter when Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers tossed a 16-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Randall Cobb capping a 10-play, 80-yard drive that consumed 5 minutes, 14 seconds. The score and extra point gave the Packers a 31-13 lead and effectively ended the Giants season, one that was successful yet incomplete.
The Giants finished the regular season 11-5, tied for the second best record in the National Football Conference with the Atlanta Falcons. But by finishing second in the NFC East to the Dallas Cowboys, the Giants entered the playoffs as the conference's fifth seed and the top wildcard entry and had to travel to Green Bay to play the NFC North division champion Packers, despite the Packers inferior record of 10-6.
The Giants made significant improvements from last season's 6-10 team, especially in revamping their defense, which was arguably the league's best over the course of the 16-game regular season. The unit produced two First Team All-Pros in safety Landon Collins and defensive tackle Damon Harrison, and three Second Team All-Pros in defensive end Olivier Vernon, as well as defensive backs Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Janoris Jenkins.
In contrast, the offense was inconsistent and lacked balance. The Giants could not run the ball consistently behind an offensive line that was often overmatched and possessed only one offensively skilled player, receiver Odell Beckham Jr., around whom opposing defensive coordinators structured a game plan. But Beckham, despite his 101 catches for 1367 yards, was a magnet for negative attention, including a controversial trip to Miami to hang out with celebrity friends less than a week before his first career playoff game, a game in which he was a non-factor versus the Packers.
Monday, Giants general manager Jerry Reese, who did an admirable job upgrading the team's talent, addressed Beckham's need to mature. "He is a smart guy, but sometimes he doesn't do smart things," Reese said.
"We all have had to grow up at different times in our lives, and I think it is time for him to do that. He has been here for three years now and is a little bit of a lightning rod because of what he does on the football field. But the things he does off the football field, he has to be responsible for those things."
Reese said it's Beckham's decision making, not ability, that is in question. He continued, "Everybody knows that he is a gifted player, but there are some things that he has done that he needs to look at himself in the mirror and be honest with himself about."
"Odell is going to be fine," contended Giants quarterback Eli Manning. "He's learning every year, and this is another learning experience for him."
The Giants' 39-year-old first-year head coach Ben McAdoo, who displayed the necessities to lead this team for years to come, could lose several key players because of salary considerations. Defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul will be on the free-agent market, and the Giants will consider whether to retain, among others, running backs Shane Vereen and Rashad Jennings, who are signed through 2017, and wide receiver Victor Cruz and Rodgers-Cromartie, who are signed through 2017.
However, the focus should be on the offensive line. If the Giants can fix things up front, they should be a solid contender for a division if not a conference title a year from now.

MA-XI MEETING: Singapore natural choice for China-Taiwan talks
AP, SINGAPORE
If the historic summit this weekend between the presidents of Taiwan and China is laden with symbolism, so is the location, the city-state of Singapore.
A nation made up largely of the descendants of 19th-century Chinese migrants, Singapore has maintained close ties with both China and Taiwan, and is a model of what China aspires to be: educated, tolerant, prudent and well-to-do.
Perhaps most importantly for Beijing, Singapore has also created a nation docile enough not to question a semi-authoritarian government too stridently.
More than 20 years ago, Taiwan and China held their first talks in Singapore.
"The decision to hold talks in Singapore again is significant in itself," said Liu Hong (劉宏), chair of Nanyang Technological University's School of Humanities and Social Sciences. "It is not only an international hub but politically neutral, making it good ground for both mainland China and Taiwan."
Singapore's ties to both sides go back decades. Lee Kuan Yew (李光耀), the first prime minister and the architect of modern Singapore, was an interlocutor between China and the West, often fiercely defending Confucian values of discipline and authoritarianism while berating the West for being critical of the lack of free speech. Lee, who died in March, was one of the last foreign dignitaries to meet with the ailing Chinese leader Mao Zedong (毛澤東) in the 1970s.
Lee had no tolerance for political dissent, something Beijing has long understood. Opposition figures in Singapore were either defeated in elections or taken to court on defamation charges until they were bankrupt. Singapore still allows no street protests.


Cholesterol is a fat-like substance called a lipid that is found in all body cells. Your liver makes all of the cholesterol your body needs to form cell membranes and to make certain hormones. Extra cholesterol enters your body when you eat foods that come from animals, like meats, eggs, and dairy products.
High blood cholesterol is one of the major risk factors for heart disease. Research has shown that by lowering your blood cholesterol, you will greatly reduce your risk of heart disease.
Cholesterol is a fat-like substance called a lipid that is found in all body cells. Your liver makes all of the cholesterol your body needs to form cell membranes and to make certain hormones. Extra cholesterol enters your body when you eat foods that come from animals, like meats, eggs, and dairy products. Although we often blame the cholesterol found in foods that we eat for raising blood cholesterol, the main culprit is actually saturated fat. Foods rich in saturated fat include butter fat in milk products, fat from red meat, and tropical oils such as coconut oil.
Blood cholesterol levels, which tell how much lipid or fat is in the blood, are expressed in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). In general, you want to have a cholesterol level below 200 mg/dL. Between 200 mg/dL and 239 mg/dL, your cholesterol level is elevated or borderline-high and should be lowered if you can. With a level of 240 mg/dL or above, your cholesterol level is high, and there is a need for action. For example, changing your diet, beginning an exercise program, and taking statins or other cholesterol-lowering medicines are all ways to lower your cholesterol level.
According to the American Heart Association, more than 43% of American adults have cholesterol levels of 200 mg/dL or higher.
The risk of high cholesterol, or hypercholesterolemia, tends to be greater as we age, and the condition affects more women than men. Obesity of any kind, lack of physical activity, and diabetes are other important risk factors.
Cholesterol travels to cells through the bloodstream in special carriers called lipoproteins. Two of the most important lipoproteins are low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Doctors look at how LDL, HDL, and fats called triglycerides relate to each other and to your total cholesterol level.
LDL particles deliver cholesterol to your cells. LDL cholesterol is often called "bad cholesterol" because high levels are thought to lead to heart disease. Too much LDL in the blood causes a fatty buildup (plaque) to form on artery walls, which starts a disease process called atherosclerosis. When plaque builds up in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart, you are at greater risk of having a heart attack. Your LDL levels may be high if you eat a diet with a lot of saturated fat, cholesterol, or both. Sometimes, an under-active thyroid (called hypothyroidism) may also increase LDL levels.
HDL particles carry cholesterol from your cells back to your liver, where it can be removed from your body. HDL is known as "good cholesterol" because high levels are thought to lower your risk of heart disease. If you have low HDL levels, you have a greater heart disease risk, even if your total cholesterol is below 200 mg/dL. Low HDL is often the result of physical inactivity, obesity, or smoking. It is also common for people who have type 2 diabetes to have low HDL levels. Men generally have lower HDL cholesterol levels than women do, because the female hormone estrogen raises HDL. But when women stop having their monthly menstrual periods, their levels of HDL may decrease.
Triglycerides are fats that provide energy for your muscles. Like cholesterol, they are delivered to your body's cells by lipoproteins in the blood. If you eat foods with a lot of saturated fat or carbohydrates, you will raise your triglyceride levels. Elevated levels are thought to lead to a greater risk of heart disease, but scientists do not agree that high triglycerides alone are a risk factor for heart disease. People with high triglycerides are often obese or have low levels of HDL cholesterol, high blood pressure, or diabetes, all of which are risk factors for heart disease. Extremely high triglyceride levels (more than 1000 mg/dL) can lead to abdominal pain and a life-threatening disorder of the pancreas called pancreatitis.
A measure of total cholesterol in the blood is found by adding up the cholesterol carried in LDL particles, HDL particles, and other lipoproteins. All adults 20 years or older should have what is called a full lipoprotein profile once every 5 years. You will need to stop eating for 10 to 12 hours before this test, and the only liquid you may drink is water. This full profile will tell your doctors what your total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglyceride levels are. LDL is the most important lipid for predicting your heart disease risk.
If your cholesterol levels were measured from a non-fasting blood sample, meaning you have eaten within 10 to 12 hours of the test, doctors will only be able to calculate your total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol. If the results show that your total cholesterol is high, your HDL cholesterol is low, or if you have other risk factors for heart disease, your doctor will probably order a full lipoprotein profile.
Doctors can then look at the results of your full lipoprotein profile, as well as your other risk factors for heart disease, and use a risk assessment tool to better predict your chances of having a heart attack within 10 years.
The ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol also gives more information about your risk of heart disease than your level of total cholesterol alone does. The ratio is obtained by dividing the value of total cholesterol by the value of HDL cholesterol. A number higher than 5 shows an increased risk in people who do not have heart disease. People who already have heart disease should not have a number higher than 4.
It is best to have your cholesterol tested by trained medical personnel. Your blood sample should be sent to an approved laboratory for testing. Tests performed at health fairs, at shopping centers, or using home-testing kits may not always give you laboratory-grade results. If you get an unusual result from any source, you should see your doctor. You should keep your normal eating habits, exercise pattern, and weight before cholesterol testing, except for the 10 to 12 hours before having the full lipoprotein profile, when you cannot eat or drink anything but water. You may need to have the test on another day if you have a cold or the flu or have recently changed a medicine. Your doctor may also ask you not to drink alcohol for several days before testing, especially for a true reading of triglyceride levels.
A diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol is key to lowering LDL cholesterol levels. A diet with between 25% and 35% of total calories from fat (mostly unsaturated fat) and less than 7% of total calories from saturated fat is recommended.
Other key lifestyle changes for lowering LDL include increasing your physical activity, watching your weight, and eating foods high in fiber. Foods that contain plant stanols and sterols may also help lower LDL. Plant stanols and sterols can be found in special margarines at your grocery store. In some cases, patients find it helpful to see a dietitian, who can help them set up an eating plan.
The key lifestyle changes for increasing low HDL cholesterol are losing weight (if you are overweight), quitting smoking, and increasing physical activity.
Patients with elevated triglyceride levels should control body weight, limit how much alcohol they drink, eat a diet low in saturated fat, and decrease the amount of simple carbohydrates (or sugar) that they eat. The liver changes extra calories from carbohydrates into triglycerides.
A number of medicines are very effective and safe for lowering LDL cholesterol levels. Cholesterol-lowering medicines called statins have been shown to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke and the need for coronary artery bypass surgery or angioplasty. It is very important that you continue with lifestyle changes even if your doctor gives you cholesterol-lowering medicine. Although cholesterol-lowering medicine can lower your total cholesterol, it does not protect against other risk factors for heart disease, such as obesity and physical inactivity.
Experts from the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) say that more aggressive cholesterol treatment is needed for people at high risk of dying from a heart attack or cardiovascular disease. The basic message of the group's recommendations is the lower the better when it comes to levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or "bad cholesterol." The updated recommendations say that almost all high-risk patients with LDL cholesterol levels of 100 mg/dL or higher should begin taking cholesterol-lowering medicine.
Reducing your cholesterol level does not give you complete protection from heart disease, but doctors agree that it is one of the most important ways to reduce your risk.


The Empty Chair and it's ensuing explanation by President of PEN and author Charles Foran began the night on a reflective note. The atmosphere soon became lighthearted and jovial as Charlotte Gray, a biographer herself, asked a variety of interesting and deeply thought provoking questions.
Carol Bishop-Gwyn, author of the compelling biography The Pursuit of Perfection: A Life of Celia Franca, discussed how her biography may not have been published were Celia still alive, describing Celia as "difficult" when the project was being worked on before her death in 2007. But both Carol and Charles Foran, author of Mordecai: The Life and Times agree that their subjects had certainly wanted nothing more than to have their lives commemorated in some way. Both Franca and Richler left every note, letter, and scrap of detritus to the archives. Bishop-Gwyn emphasized that these personal letters and private diaries were how she discovered Franca's voice in her writing, that connection that allows biographer to briefly understand their subject on a level that is not merely academic.
Which is certainly something done successfully by Richler who has more than left his mark on Canadian literature. It is the humanity of the subject that shapes a biography. These surprises often fall into place when writing biography such as the 2,400 word letter that is at the heart of Foran's book. He was only able to gain access when the restriction was lifted on it in the archives for a few days by Richler's widow, Florence. This letter from Richler to his mother is one that ends their relationship and he makes it clear that they will never speak again. Foran describes it as "sorrowful, furious, indignant, regretful, unapologetic," filled with a vast range of emotions but still eloquent and remarkably written.
Bishop-Gwyn's moment of surprise and the thing which truly represents Franca's humanity was a short, pencil written, diary-like entry written around the time when she was being pushed out of the National Ballet, it becomes almost suicidal, Franca wondering what she will do now, commenting on how her husband does not love her. This woman who was the epitome of composure puts aside her mask for a moment and becomes a very vulnerable, scared woman. While these two moments in the biographies are very different from one another, they have similar impact: the reader and biographer are given a glimpse into the personal lives of a cultural icon.
As Foran said early on in the night, he does not say anything about being the authoritative source on the life of Mordecai Richler, but what he is trying to do, and what Bishop-Gwyn agrees she strives for as well, is the tactile experience of a life. Certainly the biographies achieve this experience, but the event itself gave one the sense that their subjects were manifest in the lives of the biographers, and this allowed them to portray with integrity who they were as they saw it.

Kevin Frazier Sits Down on 'The Talk' to Break Down Some of the GRAMMY Awards' Biggest Moments
By Zach Seemayer 6:38 PM PST, February 13, 2017
The morning after this year's GRAMMY Awards, Entertainment Tonight's Kevin Frazier joined the hosts of The Talk to break down some of the most memorable moments from music's biggest night.
Frazier joined Sheryl Underwood, Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osbourne, Aisha Tyler and Julie Chen at the round table on Monday, where he moderated their panel discussion of the star-studded awards show.

One of the highlights of the big event came when Adele won Album of the Year for 25, beating out Beyonce's Lemonade. During her acceptance speech, Adele honored Beyonce and said that the "Formation" singer deserved the award more she did.
"I love the fact that Adele even broke her GRAMMY in half and then offered the other half to Beyonce," Frazier shared, explaining how the two artists shut down any rumors of rivalry with their emotional moment at the close of the awards show.
"People always try to make women rivals, that's classic in our culture," Gilbert said, "and it's awesome to see them set the record straight."

The group also reacted to Beyonce's psychedelic Golden Goddess performance that blended holographic images, pre-recorded material and a live stage presence.
"The GRAMMYs are always about spectacle, and you really want to see a side of the artists that you haven't seen in their other work," Tyler said, praising Beyonce's unique appearance. "That performance was spectacular."

The panel also talked about some pre-show moments on the red carpet, including when Katy Perry supposedly threw shade at Britney Spears when she joked that she's dyed her hair every possible color and "the only thing left to do is shave my head, which I'm really saving for a public breakdown."
While Frazier said Perry seemed to make the remarks "off the cuff," Tyler said her comments may reflect that she's actually struggling with something emotionally.
"I actually think that Katy is going through something," she shared. "We're always so quick leap to this [idea] of, 'Women are cutting other women down. Women are throwing shade.' Why can't that just have been her own expression of what she was going through in her own life?"
Osbourne said she didn't know what Perry's intentions were when it came to her red carpet comments, but had nothing but praise for the singer's politically charged debut performance of her new single "Chained to the Rhythm."

"I really liked her performance, and I loved her new image," Osbourne added. "I thought that she's gone leaps and bounds from what she was before… she's grown so much as an artist."

A morning exploring Fort George Grenada.
The first stop on our cruise was Grenada and in the short time we had on the island I wanted to visit Fort George.
The fort was built in 1706 by the French and originally named Fort Royal. When the British took over the island in 1763 it was renamed Fort George in honour of King George the third.
Close to the harbour, Fort George towers over the town. It is a steep climb to reach the top but the view is worth it. The courtyard is the first part we reached. It was interesting to stand here and soak up the history, 300 years of changing hands and executions.
An area full of history.
A plague remembering the Bishop executed at the fort in 1983.
As we discovered, the weather here is pretty changeable and we were caught in a downpour. Luckily we were allowed to stand in one of the buildings to shelter whilst the rains passed.
The view of St Georges town before the storm rolled in.
The cannons are still in place and are a favourite with visitors. Providing some great photo opportunities across the town and out to sea.
Cannons pointing out to sea.
Single cannon overlooking the Caribbean sea.
Today, as well as being a tourist attraction some Fort George buildings are also used by the local Police. Here we saw uniform and boots being made and mended, and there was also a gym in one of the rooms.
Other parts of the area have clearly been left to fall into disrepair. Nature slowly taking over the brick and stone.
Parts of the building being taken over by nature.
Peeking at the cannon from the other side of the fort.
The flag pole at the top of the fort.
I think Fort George is definitely worth a visit whilst in Grenada. The views are beautiful and it gives visitors an insight to the islands varied history.

Emotional Shonda-Coaster, Week 23: Life Moves on, Just Like the Carousel
By Carrie Nelson • 05/01/15 2:26pm
Hey, so…. (photo: ABC/Mitchell Haaseth)
Last week was Derek Shepherd's farewell episode. We saw him heroically save the lives of a handful of people injured in a car accident, and we watched as he made zero effort to move his car out of the road before he was hit by an oncoming truck. He was brain-dead by the time Meredith made it to the hospital, said her goodbyes, and pulled the plug.
This week was something different. So many Grey's episodes take place over a single day, or a few days, that I was expecting a long, slow meditation on Derek's life. Gradually over the two-hour special, each character would learn the news and cry a lot. (Remember how long it took for everyone in the town of Twin Peaks to find out about Laura Palmer's death? I was thinking it would be that, basically, minus Dale Cooper.) The last act of the episode would feature a very dramatic and poignant funeral sequence, featuring cameos by former cast members. Finally, in the last scene, Meredith would tuck her children into bed and realize that her life must now find a way to go on. That was my mental image going into the episode, and—based on the fan responses last night and this morning—that's what most people were expecting it to be.
That's not what happened. Last night's episode takes us through the first ten or so months of life after Derek. When someone dies, every holiday in that first year feels significant; following that structure, the episode checks in with Grey Sloan Memorial at Easter, the Fourth of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and Valentine's Day. In that time, Meredith runs away to San Diego with the kids, dodges Karev's frantic calls, has a baby (it's unclear at exactly what point she realized she was pregnant, but the audience doesn't know until she goes into labor), and moves back to Seattle where Auntie Amelia helps her wrangle her growing family. Meanwhile, Owen and April run away to study surgical techniques in the military, Richard gets engaged, Amelia buries herself in gallows humor and buying (but not taking!) black market oxy, Bailey and Ben debate living will arrangements, Wilson becomes really good at her job, and Callie and Arizona continue to be divorced. It's an important year filled with milestones, and the milestones are all we see.
I'm going to voice an unpopular opinion here and say that I actually liked this episode. Yes, the time jumps caused some serious storytelling problems, particularly in Meredith's case: Why San Diego? Why didn't she tell anyone? Did she have a job there? Were the kids in school? Where were they living? How did she take care of herself while pregnant? We'll probably never have answers to these questions, and that bugs me. But I'll take those plot holes any day over a long, depressing season next year all about the grief process. It's not that Derek will never come up again after this, but after a year of coping with the loss, our characters are now in a place where, slowly, they can begin to actually move on.
I think this episode sacrificed good storytelling in favor of allowing the season to progress without being bogged down by death. And maybe this is because I am not a long-time Grey's fan, so I'm not feeling a need to mourn Derek's death myself, but I'm okay with this. There's always something cathartic about episodes that deal with death authentically, but we don't need that to stretch on forever. Grey's had a choice here: the show could address Derek's death in real time, over the next season or so, address the death for a few episodes and then forget about it entirely, or address the death thoroughly but concisely and then move on to new stories. By doing the latter, Grey's acknowledged the painful realities of grieving and loss without making it the primary focus of the show from here out. That takes some skill, and it also takes guts to do something like this, knowing how angry the fans will be. But as understandable as that anger is, I think Grey's made the right call.
As Meredith (and Ellis, in flashbacks) reminds us constantly, "The carousel never stops turning." There will be new doctors, new patients, new relationships, new families, new children. The longer Derek's storyline dragged on, the slower the carousel would move, until it screeched to a halt. That's not the nature of life, and it's not the nature of Grey's. The show is fast-paced and unforgiving. It's sentimental, but it doesn't let those emotions stop the momentum. Derek is gone, baby Ellis is here, and the carousel turns and turns. We don't yet know where it's taking us, but we know that it's not going to linger.

Manual drip or a pour over is one of the simplest brewing methods preferred by many a connoisseur. Tiny droplets of water flow over the coffee grounds extracting all the oils and flavours that make a perfect brew. As with any brewing method, the key parameters should be observed: your water should be 92-93 deg C, you should allow 6 g of coffee per every 100 ml of water (perhaps allowing a little extra - not more than 10% - to allow for the retention of water in the grounds at the end of the brewing process), and the brewing time should not exceed 5 minutes.
Put the paper filter in the dripper cone and pour some hot water through the paper filter (this will prevent any hints of paper taste in your coffee).
Discard the water used to prewet the paper filter.
Place the required amount of ground coffee into the filter.
Making sure that your boiled water is the right temperature (93 deg C), slowly pour the water over the grounds in a circular motion. Do not pour more water than is required to cover the grounds - let the coffee bloom and the resultant foam to rise and fall.
Pour more water to cover the grounds, repeat this step several times until you have poured the required amount of water.
Once all the water has dripped through the grounds, remove and discard the filter.
Stir the brew to ensure the even consistency of taste and serve.
Tip: Using kitchen scales is a great way to control the amount of water used in brewing. Right before you start pouring water through the coffee grounds, place your brewer (with coffee grounds in the filter) on the scales, set weight to zero and start pouring. Continue pouring water until the indicator on the scales shows the required target weight.

Castellet o Castellets és una partida de terra del terme municipal de Reus, a la comarca catalana del Baix Camp.

Tant se l'anomena en singular com en plural. És la partida de terra situada més al sud del terme reusenc. Els propietaris d'aquelles terres són quasi tots dels pobles veïns, Vila-seca i La Canonja. Havia estat un antic nucli de població, amb terme propi. Toca al terme de Vila-seca i s'interna al de La Canonja. La travessen la carretera de València i la via de Tarragona. Tenia gran quantitat de mines d'aigua. Actualment és un territori molt afectat per la industrialització. Sobre l'origen del nom no hi ha acord: es parla d'uns antics castells dels que no hi ha referències. Sí que és cert, que el 1178 Bertran de Castellet posseïa territoris a La Pineda, i la seva viuda i fill van cedir La Pineda al seu gendre Guillem de Tarragona. Segons Josep Iglésies, Castellet pertanyia a Bartomeu de Vilafranca el 1496 i només hi habitava una família.

Over time, individuals may develop droopy eyelids (ptosis) or brows. Apparent lid drooping can occur from excess eyelid skin and fatty tissue (dermatochalasis). The lid conditions may be aesthetically objectionable or may interfere with function by settling in front of the eye and blocking the field of view. The excess skin and fatty tissue can affect the lower lids as well.
Your doctor will determine whether you have ptosis of the eyelid or brow, excess skin or fat, or a combination of these, and will suggest treatment for your particular situation. Surgery is performed using light sedation and a local anesthetic. The incisions are typically concealed in a naturally occurring crease of the eyelid skin. Surgery ranges from 1-2 hours, and you are able to go home the same day. Usually, you will be seen one week after surgery for suture removal. Some degree of swelling and bruising around the eyelids is expected and typically resolves over a period of 1-2 weeks.
Insurance may cover these procedures, if deemed medically necessary based on specific criteria. In some cases, photographs and visual field testing may be part of the preoperative evaluation. Rejuvenation or cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance.
The eyelids are designed to protect the eyes. As we age, the lid structures may stretch and weaken and cause the lid to fall out of position. The lid can potentially migrate down or away from the eye surface (ectropion) or may rotate inward toward the surface (entropion). This may cause eye irritation which in turn may cause the eye to water.
Surgery can often restore the normal eyelid anatomy. The procedure is performed under mild sedation along with local anesthesia and typically takes under 1 hour. Most patients notice improvement of their symptoms once the eyelid position is corrected.
There are many reasons for people to have tearing eyes. In some cases, surgery may be able to reduce the amount of watering. The tears normally drain from the surface of the eye through tear drain channels beneath the skin and into the nose. If the drainage system is blocked, the tears cannot leave the surface of the eye and may spill onto the cheek. Your surgeon will determine whether the drainage system is working properly or whether a blockage is present.
If a blockage is present at the drain opening at the inner corner of the eyelid ("punctum"), your surgeon may suggest a procedure to widen this opening ("punctoplasty"). This usually takes 20 minutes and is performed with local anesthesia. If the blockage occurs further in the drainage system pathway ("nasolacrimal duct"), you may require surgery to bypass the blockage and create a new pathway for tears to drain into the nose. The surgery, called DCR ("dacryocystorhinostomy") takes approximately 1 hour and is typically performed while you are under general anesthesia. The procedure has a very high success rate (>90%), but some patients may require additional surgery to improve their tearing.
The loss of an eye (anophthalmia) can be a difficult adjustment. An eye and sight can be severely damaged by injury or certain diseases. If all or part of a blind eye has to be removed, an implant material is placed in the eye socket and the eye movement muscles are unaffected or attached to the implant. After the socket has healed, an ocularist will custom design a replica false eye, or prosthesis. Although commonly referred to as a "glass eye", it is composed of a plastic polymer designed with a realistic cosmetic appearance. The ocularist will polish or adjust the prosthesis periodically. The oculoplastic surgeon may periodically check the health of the anophthalmic socket of the remaining eye. Continued comprehensive eye care and use of protective eyewear is encouraged to maintain the health of the remaining eye.
Skin cancer can occur on the eyelids. Risk factors can include fair skin type and increased exposure to sunlight. The most common types of skin cancers are basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Features that might raise concern include new growth, change in color, spontaneous bleeding, lash loss, or itching. Each lesion will be evaluated and your doctor will discuss with you if they should be observed, biopsied, or removed. The diagnosis may need to be ascertained with a biopsy. A biopsy usually takes 15 minutes and is performed using local anesthesia. If the biopsy indicates a skin cancer (tumor), additional surgery may be necessary to clear a margin free of tumor. The amount of additional surgery depends on the type and extent of skin cancer present, with the goals of removing the entire tumor and reconstructing the eyelids to restore a normal appearance and proper eyelid function.

We have spent a lot of time analyzing your feedback, finding the top trends and requests, and consequently adjusting our production plans along the way to make sure they're reflected in the final game. We'd like to take some time today to talk about updates to our community, our roadmap, and some NEW FEATURES!
Groups – form a clan on our forums and create a place where you can chat and collaborate with other likeminded individuals.
Albums – each fan can now save screenshots directly to their own album to share with other forum users.

The passions grafted on wounded pride are the most inveterate; they are green and vigorous in old age.
The effort of art is to keep what is interesting in existence, to recreate it in the eternal.

The lover knows much more about absolute good and universal beauty than any logician or theologian, unless the latter, too, be lovers in disguise.
Do not have evil-doers for friends, do not have low people for friends: have virtuous people for friends, have for friends the best of men.
A conception not reducible to the small change of daily experience is like a currency not exchangeable for articles of consumption; it is not a symbol, but a fraud.
The dreamer can know no truth, not even about his dream, except by awaking out of it.
For a man who has done his natural duty, death is as natural as sleep.
Experience seems to most of us to lead to conclusions, but empiricism has sworn never to draw them.
The word experience is like a shrapnel shell, and bursts into a thousand meanings.
Bid, then, the tender light of faith to shine By which alone the mortal heart is led Unto the thinking of the thought divine.
One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

Ching, J. ORCID: 0000-0002-9815-8804, Twycross, H., Homewood, M.J. ORCID: 0000-0001-8906-450X and Jarman, J., 2014. Client interviewing in diverse contexts: its global implications [panel]. In: Global Legal Skills-9, John Marshall Law School Chicago/University of Verona, 21-23 May 2014.
This presentation is given by a group of academics from Nottingham Law school, the law faculty of Nottingham Trent University in the UK. Nottingham Law School is unique in the UK in providing the postgraduate vocational stage for three legal professions (solicitors, barristers and trade mark attorneys) as well as academic undergraduate and postgraduate courses. In addition, its staff teach junior and senior practising lawyers in a range of contexts, including internationally and through videoconferencing. Client interviewing pervades the law school's provision. Members of the panel represent the breadth of the school's activities. This panel presentation takes the theme of "variation" to explore a number of aspects of teaching and assessing interviewing skills. Those variations will be mapped against three dimensions: the lawyer dimension, the client dimension and the teaching dimension. Within each dimension we will discuss, drawing on research literature and on our own experiences, the implications of variations including culture, seniority in practice and practice area. The panel will also explore with members and with the audience their implications for increasingly globalised and cross-cultural interaction between clients and interviewing lawyers.

The article contains an analysis of the quantitative changes of companies belonging to the small and medium-sized enterprises sector, the activities of these companies limiting the adverse impact of the economic downturn and the perception of corporate development opportunities.
The analysis showed, among others, that after a marked deterioration in the small and medium-sized enterprises sector in 2009 there was a gradual improvement of the financial situation and development of companies. Also, last year the level of optimism of entrepreneurs in the perception of the economic situation increased significantly.
