Q: Unable to override LoginController's authFail() I need to customize message so I tried to modify the LoginController by simply overriding the grails .plugin.springsecurity.LoginController
I have thrown AccountNotApprovedException from my customizedAuthenticationProvider.
Can someone suggest me what I am missing?
class AccountNotApprovedException extends AuthenticationException{

    public AccountNotApprovedException(String message, Throwable t) {
        super(message, t)
    }

    public AccountNotApprovedException(String message) {
        super(message)
    }

    /** @deprecated */
    @Deprecated
    public AccountNotApprovedException(String message, Object extraInformation) {
        super(message, extraInformation)
    }
}

I override the loginController:-
class LoginController extends grails.plugin.springsecurity.LoginController {

    def authenticationTrustResolver

    /**
     * Dependency injection for the springSecurityService.
     */
    def springSecurityService

    def authfail() {

        //my customized code
    }

}

And when springSecurity runs then it didn't call my overridden authFail()


Abuja — The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB,has said it will soon compile and released names of people who have impersonated in its examinations in the past ten years.
JAMB's Registrar,Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, disclosed this yesterday, during a meeting of critical stakeholders on strategic planning and preparations for supervision and evaluation of administration of 2019 UTME.
Oloyede,who decried the continuous impersonation in JAMB's examinations despite the different measures adopted so far by the board to curb the menace, insisted that the names of impersonators in the past 10 years would soon be published to serve as deterrent to others.
According to him,the development would also expose many people now in high places who had in the past impersonated in the board's examination.
Hear him:"We are making arrangements to compile and publish names of all the people that have impersonated in out examinations in the past ten years.
"Some of these people impersonated even when they were already graduates. Some impersonated as undergraduates.
"They impersonated using different names but the same fingerprints. Some of them are now in different high places and by the time we publish these names,those now in high places will be exposed,"he said.
Oloyode said any candidate who fell under such category would be catered for appropriately, including their transportation and other logistics but they would be required to take the examination under the Registrar's presence.
He said: "Any candidate that cannot be verified by BVM must not be allowed to take the examination under any guise. BVM is the only form of attendance register.
"No Biometric Verification, No examination. Discretion is not allowed on this matter.
"All candidates whose fingerprints could not be captured during registration from centres across the country will be brought to JAMB Headquarters to take the examination and JAMB will pay for their transportation for the two trips."
On new innovations for the UTME, Oloyode said: "a separate indicator had also been created for the deaf to differentiate them for special attention at the examination centre. Efforts are on to provide the option of special centres or mainstreaming for the blind.
"All these are done through our enhanced monitoring system. I want to warn candidates expected to sit for its examination to ensure their biometrics were taken and verified for the examination."

The conference works were intensive and, as such the evening session "Evening events - Let's make a match and fall in love! Share best practices and make new friends in this speed-dating session for cities" was organised in a form of a game to blow off steam and share experiences in a fun way and with lots of positive emotions, establishing contacts with representatives of municipalities in cities such as Essen, Numegen, Lisbon, Ljubljana, Ghent, Umea, Galway, Leuven, which have already implemented best practices of "Greening cities" and got recognition as "European Green Capitals" and "European Green Leaf cities".
"Participation in Green Cities for a Greener Future showed me how the European Union undertakes responsibility not only to help its own cities to grow sustainably, but to help others do the same. The event improved my understanding that green cities are only possible if all actors – local authorities, NGOs, business, citizens, academia etc – work together to make them happen. It was very useful to learn about the best practices collected in Europe's most sustainable cities with the aim to find ways for their implementation in the cities of Ukraine. With great enthusiasm I will be sharing this experience and ideas on how we can make sustainable urban planning in Ukraine become the norm same as across Europe. I plan to attend future EU Green Week events and definitely will recommend it to friends and colleagues", Prof. Olena Motuzenko noted.


Made for the music player, the foot switch combines functionality and design.
The foot switch can be connected to GVIDO wirelessly via Bluetooth or through a USB cable. The USB cable connection prevents disruption in an environment affected by other electronic devices or in the situation where multiple musicians are using a foot switch to operate GVIDO.
The function of the three pedals on the foot switch can be changed using the foot switch software on your computer. (* 1) You can launch a set list and select a score through the operation of the foot switch pedals alone.
* 1: Windows and Mac OS compatible.


Started winter 1994 with DIEP. But now i'm busy with this experimental parallel program, it's called DIEP. Still using the same huge evaluation, from which as far as i know it's the most extensive chess evaluation that any chessprogram contains (although mainly middlegame/opening heuristics).
The search of DIEP is however very very selective currently. I plan to join Paderborn with a complete new search. Not only parallel, but it's closer to best first search than the depth limited alfabeta search, although it's still using the iteration to expand nodes.
Diep is a classical chess playing program with this exception that I try to incorporate as much chess knowledge as possible. This is hard work, but in the end I hope it will give Diep a lot.

Sighted on Wednesday 17. December 2008
Reported on Wednesday 17. December 2008
Shape: Unknown | Duration: 5 seconds
Though it was a shooting star, but was brighter and larger than usual.I was driving my car about 20-25 mph on a side street when suddenly I saw what looked like a shooting star. It flew over head in a pretty straight line heading North. It looked very high up in the sky therefore, I didn't see exactly what shape but it seemed like a sphere, but again it was moving incredibly fast. I have seen shooting stars before and this was larger and much brighter and closer to earth than a star. The object was a bright blue color that left a trail. So in conclusion to me and my friend who observed this at the same time, this seemed more like a UFO sighting than a shooting star, or any type of plane. I have never seen anything like this. It was basically gone in a blink of an eye.

The 2021 Skinfluencer Report
Holly James
Beauty Writer27 days ago
After over a year of mask wearing, staying indoors and plenty of time to fill, the world embraced beauty with searches for products, treatments, trends and influencers all booming like never before.
Skincare has become a huge priority for people with Google searches for 'skincare' seeing a whopping 143% increase since the initial outbreak of COVID-19, alongside the term skincare accumulating 89,044,286 million hashtags on Instagram. It's safe to say the world has become skin-care obsessed and it's not stopping anytime soon.
But what trends, products and influencers are now leading the pack when it comes to skin? And how has over a year of lockdowns impacted our skin habits and skincare concerns?
We've taken a deep dive into the world of skincare, and analysed data from Google searches, trends and social media to create the ultimate 2021 Skinfluencer Report so that you know how and where to look for the right skinspiration and treatment.
Celebrity Skinfluencers: Top 10 Most Pinned Skin
From beauty trends to skincare secrets, we look to celebrities for everyday inspiration. There are dozens of celebrities that now have their own skincare brands, but which celebrity actually has the most influential bare-faced look?
By analysing data from the one stop shop for inspiration, Pinterest, we have revealed who has the most pinned celebrity skin of 2021 that people lust over.
Kylie Jenner leads the Pinterest pack when it comes to skin. Her skin is always on point, with a dewy yet plumped look achieved by her 6-step skincare routine; cleanser, walnut face scrub, vanilla milk toner, vitamin C serum, face moisturiser and eye cream.
Her sister, Kendall Jenner, comes in second place. The model suffered from acne in her teens, but now, with the right skincare routine she has some of the most lusted skin, that she lets breathe with her regular bare-faced looks.
Bella Hadid, Zendaya, Naomi Campbell and Rihanna's skin also all rank in top 10 most pinned skin of 2021. It may be the A-List lifestyle that is the key to their clear complexions, but all these celebrities swear by a structured skincare routine and their pinned skin is the proof of its benefits.
Top Celebrity Skincare Routines
We've all seen the iconic Vogue Beauty Secrets YouTube series, where celebrities share their step-by-step skincare routines and biggest beauty secrets.
But who's routine is the most popular? We've taken a look at all the celebrity skincare videos and their views to reveal who really has the best, and most popular skincare routine so that you know who to go to to achieve an A-list, bare faced beauty look.
1. Priyanka Chopra
The actress-activist Priyanka Chopra can be crowned the queen of skincare, with her DIY skincare routine raking in an incredible 28, 805, 954 views - miles ahead of fellow celebrities.
Whilst celebrities are renowned for lathering their skin in lavish and expensive products, Chopra's video consists of only DIY exfoliants she uses regularly to keep her skin looking clean and glowy. With all natural ingredients, the star's routine and its popularity is one you can trust that won't irritate your skin.
2. Olivia Rodrigo
Coming in at second place is the Queen of pop, Olivia Rodrigo and her effortless skincare routine. The singer's 10,325,202 million views can be attributed to her routine's simplicity. She says that stripping back her skincare routine to just a simple cleanser and The Ordinary serum helped to clear her dermatitis which is a great tip to take for those with sensitive or irritable skin. Followed by a quick gua sha routine, lip scrub and some chap-stick, the star serves some real skinspiration for those after a quick and effortless routine.
3. GiGi Hadid
The third most viewed video is Gigi Hadid's post-pregnancy skincare routine with an impressive 8,079,518 views. The supermodel swears by clean products that can be bought in a drugstore and also uses little hacks such as putting toothpaste on spots to dry them out. Similar to Rodrigo's simple routine, Gigi begins with Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Cream, followed by a Odacité Mo+P Serum Concentrate and then some moisturiser on the lips and dry patches of her face, before diving into her makeup routine.
Sofia Richie, Bella Thorne, Emma Chamberlain and Saweetie also all rank in the top 10 Skinfluencer list when it comes to sharing beauty tips. These top contenders may all live the A-List lifestyle, but lots of their skincare routines include small and affordable hacks that can be easily added to your skincare toolkit.
2021 TikTok Skincare Trends: to Try or not to Try?
The short-video app has kept many of us entertained for hours. TikTok trends have sold out entire lines of products, turned people into stars, and single handedly taught an entire generation how to dance. The app is a powerhouse when it comes to setting trends, especially when it comes to skincare, but that doesn't mean we should always give in to the trend…
We've analysed TikTok to find the most popular skincare trends of 2021 and consulted Dr. Dennis Gross, board certified dermatologist in New York City and founder of his eponymous skincare line, to determine whether or not we should or should not be following them.
Dermaplaning is the number one skincare trend of 2021, raking in a whopping 1,600,000,000 hashtags alongside 301,000 monthly searches on Google. It's a procedure that uses a scalpel or a tool called a dermatome to exfoliate the skin and get rid of dirt and vellus hair, also known as 'peach fuzz'. Traditionally done by professionals, people have taken to TikTok to do it themselves using their own scalpels.
Should we do it?
Dr. Dennis Gross says that "Chemical and physical exfoliation is beneficial in how it not only removes dead skin cells lurking on the surface, but it enables topical products to penetrate into the skin better. In addition, it can create a smooth canvas for makeup application. However, with physical exfoliation, there is a greater chance that sharp or irregular particles, like a scalpel or scrub, will cause micro-tears and disrupt the skin barrier."
"Dermaplaning is a type of physical exfoliation – meaning the blade is used to lift and cut away dead skin cells and vellus hair. In untrained hands, it can be easy to cut or nick the skin, making it vulnerable to infection. I recommend seeing a professional for this treatment. If at-home is your only option – always start with a clean face (you should not be using a blade to remove dirt from your face), use light pressure and pull the skin taught to avoid cutting yourself. For those with active breakouts, skip this treatment – it could spread acne bacteria to other areas of the face."
2. Blackheads Removal
Whilst some of us gag at the thought of squeezing a blackhead, it seems most of us can't get enough of it. With 883,900,000 hashtags, blackhead removal is the second biggest skincare trend of 2021 which makes sense considering our report has also found blackheads to be one of the biggest skin concerns of 2021.
But is this strangely satisfying skincare trend something we should be joining?
Dr. Gross says, "It can be tempting to squeeze blackheads, but it's important to not make a habit of it. Squeezing inflamed pores can push bacteria and oil deeper into the pore. This can prolong the breakout, damage the walls of the pore, cause post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or even cause long-term scarring. Leave the squeezing to professionals and get a professional facial tailored to your skin needs.''
3. Gua Sha
Gua sha (pronounced gwah-shah) tools ― smooth, half moon-shaped stones that massage your face ― seem to have popped up everywhere over the past two years. They are the third biggest skincare trend out there with celebrities such as Nina Dobrev, Olivia Rodrigo and Lizzo all expressing their love for the tool. Facial gua sha claims to give you clear skin, fewer wrinkles and a more sculpted facial appearance.
But does it actually do anything?
Dr. Gross says, "Using a gua sha tool can stimulate blood circulation which increases oxygen flow and nutrients to the skin – like a mini home massage. The key is a gentle touch – pulling and scraping the skin can burst capillaries. Do not expect a gua sha to solve all your skin care needs. Use it as part of your skincare routine to decrease puffiness and stimulate blood flow but don't expect skin and sculptural miracles. It's more of a self-care therapeutic routine that is relaxing and relieves tension.
2021's Biggest Skin Concerns
As our lifestyles change in the modern world, our skin changes alongside it and new problems arise. By analysing Google search data, we have revealed the current biggest skincare concerns for people in the post-pandemic 2021 climate and consulted a dermatologist about how to treat them.
Coming in at number one is rosacea, with a massive 90,500 searches for the issue each month alone. Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes blushing or flushing and visible blood vessels in your face. It may also produce small, pus-filled bumps. These signs and symptoms may flare up for weeks to months and then go away for a while.
How to treat it?
Dr. Gross says, 'Rosacea is a common, chronic skin condition that can be worsened by lifestyle habits. In fact, we may be seeing a huge spike in the issue as a result of people having to wear masks. Recent studies have found that masks can cause those with pre-existing rosacea to flare up as the fabric rubs and irritates the skin.'
While there is no cure for rosacea, it can be managed by avoiding perfumed and alcohol-based products and protecting your skin with a sensitive SPF 30+ at all times. Dr. Gross adds, "without treatment, rosacea symptoms often worsen. Rosacea is different for everyone; talk to your dermatologist to develop the best treatment plan for you."
2. Blackheads
Pesky blackheads are the second biggest skin concern of 2021 which may explain TikTok's obsession with them. With an average of 60,500 monthly searches, it seems people are struggling to keep them away. Blackheads occur when pores become blocked with oil and dead skin-cells. They can persist for weeks to months and generally require treatment to be removed long-term.
While it can be very tempting to get your Dr. Pimple Popper on at home, Dr. Gross advises against a DIY extraction. ''Squeezing blackheads with your fingers can spread bacteria and trigger inflammation, turning a small bump into a large pesky one.''
"Blackheads are a type of acne that develops when oil inside your pores mix with dead skin cells – the black color occurs when the mixture is exposed to air and oxidizes. Salicylic acid is the best treatment for dissolving oil and dead skin cells inside pores. To prevent blackheads, incorporate regular gentle chemical exfoliation into your routine, like a peel with salicylic acid, which will reduce dead skin cell build-up," adds Dr. Gross.
3. Hyperpigmentation
With 33,100 monthly searches, the third biggest concern of 2021 is hyperpigmentation - a term used for any uneven patches of skin, usually darker than your natural skin tone.
It is a result of excess melanin in the skin that is usually produced due to inflammation from a blemish or cut which causes the skin to produce more of the pigment to protect the skin from UV rays as it heals. It can be a pain to cover but thankfully, these stubborn spots can be treated and reduced with the right skincare products.
Dr. Gross says, "Hyperpigmentation is notoriously difficult to treat – in-office and at-home. In fact, natural aging plus additional damage from the sun and pollution have an accumulative effect on the skin. And sometimes it can take years for damage deep within the skin to show up as discoloration on the surface."
"That's why using the right skincare products every day to treat and prevent hyperpigmentation is key. Vitamin C, AHAs and SPF are the best tools in our arsenal to combat the free radical damage that causes hyperpigmentation.''
''Vitamin C works by reducing the production of pigment that leads to dark spots, neutralizes free radical activity, and last, but not least, stimulates our skin's own collagen production. For best results, use vitamin C along with AHAs like lactic acid and arbutin – this will ensure that you will target existing pigmentation on multiple levels whilst also preventing future discoloration formation. Lastly, daily protection with physical sunscreen can protect against UVA/UVB rays weakening the skin barrier."
Most Searched for Skincare Ingredients
From alpha hydroxy acids to zinc, there are hundreds of skincare ingredients promising your best complexion ever. But how can you possibly know which ones are the best and what on earth they all do?
We've analysed Google search data to identify the most popular skincare ingredients of 2021 that are in demand.
With 74,000 searches for the ingredient alone each month, alongside 22,200 monthly searches of its other name, 'BHA' Beta hydroxy acid', salicylic acid has proved immensely popular this year. But what actually is it?
Salicylic acid is a liquid, chemical exfoliant that helps shed dead skin cells. It's surge in popularity is likely to be a result of it being one of the best ingredients to treat some of the biggest skincare concerns of 2021, such as acne and blackheads. Salicylic acid penetrates the pore lining and exfoliates inside the pore to help reduce blackheads, whiteheads and to fade blemish scars.
It's visible benefits make it the most popular skincare ingredient out there and is definitely worth the investment.
2. Hyaluronic Acid
Coming in at number 2 is a skincare ingredient that is ironically found naturally in the body, hyaluronic acid.
As we get older the natural amount of hyaluronic acid in our skin decreases, so supplementing it in your skincare routine can be extremely beneficial in improving the plumpness of your skin whilst reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid can also be paired well with other skincare ingredients such as vitamins and retinol.
With visible plumping benefits, this is another ingredient that people are returning to time after time.
3. Vitamin C
With hyperpigmentation being a big concern for people this year, many have been reaching for the all-round hero ingredient of Vitamin C.
It inhibits melanin production in the skin, which helps to lighten hyperpigmentation and brown spots, even out skin tone, and enhance skin radiance. It's protection from environmental aggressors, like the sun and pollution, makes it an absolute skincare essential for city girls.
Other popular ingredients include niacinamide, retinol, benzoyl and peroxide. Still confused? Check out our A-Z breakdown of skincare ingredients to find out which one is right for you.

Just in time for Christmas, we've got your wish-list sorted.
The Ordinary Peeling Solution
The rave for this product began on TikTok. Now with over 18.8 Million views on the social media app alongside a whopping 33,100 monthly searches on Google, it's pretty clear that The Ordinary's infamous AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution should be in everyone's skincare toolkit.
The combination of the two skin acids works on different layers of the skin, polishing it while treating acne leaving you with a clean and plump look.
2. Weleda Skin Food
With one sold every 16 seconds 27,100 monthly searches and stars like Julia Roberts, Victoria Beckham and Scarlett Johansson all confessing their love for it, Weleda Skin Food is a must have product for anyone looking for seriously glowing skin.
This product is a cult beauty buy that is deeply moisturising, with nourishing oils for dry and very dry skin. They also have a lighter version that is excellent for normal to dry skin types, too.
3. Clinique Moisture Surge
A product that needs no introduction, Clinique's Moisture Surge is a bestseller across the globe and has maintained its title in 2021 with 27,100 searches for it every month. It's donned by the likes of Gilian Anderson who swears by its incredibly hydrating and moisturising properties. The hype about this product is real since it can reverse major signs of dryness without making the skin super oily or greasy.
Other cult beauty buys such as the Pixi Glow Tonic, Cerave Hydrating Cleanser and the la roche posay effaclar duo top also top the charts for 2021.
But some surprising contenders are the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum, praised for its hydrating properties, and the Skinceuticals C E Ferulic that will set you back a whopping £126.
We can guarantee it's worth every penny...

¶ What tick bit you? If you find a tick on your body (or someone else's), are you interested in determining the species? If you were in Missouri, it probably was not a Western black-legged tick, for instance. But brown dog ticks are everywhere in the continental U.S. Check this map of tick geography.

Clear, radiant and healthy-looking skin is only a flash away! Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) remains the preferred method for improving color, clarity and firming of the skin.
Using different coloured light from across the light spectrum, IPL treatments quickly, safely and comfortably improve your skin's texture, tone and complexion, whether on your face, chest, hands, legs, back or arms. IPL reduces the visible signs of aging and sun damage including irregular pigmentation, age spots, enlarged pores, increased capillaries and facial redness (Rosacea).
After your first treatment, brown pigmentation will be smaller and lighter, any redness will be less noticeable, and broken blood vessels will be smaller and less visible. Signs of sun damage and age spots will typically flake off after one or two treatments, and capillaries and skin redness dissipate – leaving you with clearer, younger-looking skin. You will also notice your skin is tighter and firmer as a result of the IPL stimulating your fibroblasts, the cells that produce collagen. Collagen turns over every 2 to 3 months, so clients looking for firm, plump, uniform skin should have maintenance treatments every 2 to 3 months.
When treating redness, Rosacea, or veins in the skin, IPL is targeted to the red color in the skin. The IPL heats up the blood under the skin and coagulates (cuts off blood flow) to the broken or enlarged vessel. After the first treatment you will notice your veins are smaller and less red. To treat Rosacea, most clients require 2 to 5 sessions at least 4 weeks apart, with maintenance treatments every 3 to 6 months.
When treating irregular pigmentation, the IPL is targeted to the pigment (sun damage) under your skin. The IPL heats up that pigment and pushes it to the surface of the skin. After your treatment the pigment will be darker but will lighten and exfoliate off the skin in 7 to 10 days. Most clients need 2 to 8 sessions every 4 to 12 weeks, with maintenance treatments every 3 to 6 months, depending on the area treated and the color of their skin.
If you want to achieve clearer skin with fewer acne breakouts on the face, chest or back, IPL is an excellent option that requires no antibiotics. Using blue light, IPL destroys p.acne bacteria in the pores to neutralize bacterial breakouts. To reduce acne breakouts, most clients require 2 to 8 sessions every 1 to 2 weeks for 2 to 4 sessions, with maintenance every 1 to 3 months or until desired results are achieved.
Our clients are extremely pleased with the results they see after receiving IPL treatments.
Your first step to a successful treatment outcome is a pre-treatment consultation. A consultation will provide you with the nformation you need to make the treatment choices for your needs. It also provides your clinician with the information needed to determine the best course of laser treatment for your desired outcomes.
During your consultation, be prepared to provide information about your medical history and your goals for the procedure. This is also a good time to get answers to your treatment questions and to discuss treatment costs.
Before your treatment, your provider may measure the melanin in your skin to adjust laser power to your specific needs. This can be done by a visual exam using the Fitzpatrick Skin Type evaluation. Assessing the condition of your skin is essential to avoid over-treatment or under-treatment-and helps ensure the best aesthetic outcomes.
Your provider will work with you to help ensure your comfort and safety throughout the procedure. You may purchase a topical anesthetic to help manage your comfort. During treatment, your clinician will move a hand piece over your skin, which will pulse as it emits the laser light. A flashing light, an audible tone, and a mild sensation on the skin will tell you when the hand piece is being pulsed.
Post-treatment recovery varies depending on your type of laser treatment and your medical history. Your clinician will provide you with specific after-care instructions. Below are some general guidelines for what you can expect as you heal.
After your treatment, expect to be able to resume your normal daily activities. You will notice redness at the treatment site, which should resolve in a day or two or up to 72 hours after treatment. You can manage any discomfort that you have with wrapped ice packs or gel packs (do not apply ice directly to skin). Your doctor may also recommend an oral, over-the-counter anti-inflammatory (ibuprofen) or analgesic (acetaminophen) to reduce discomfort. Use the medicine according to your doctor's recommendations.
Sun exposure and tanning on the treated area. Apply an SPF 45 with zinc oxide or greater sunscreen to prevent injury to the treatment area and to prevent changes in pigmentation.
Swimming, especially in pools with chemicals such as chlorine.
Hot tubs, Jacuzzis, and saunas.
Activities that cause excess perspiration or any activity that may raise your core body temperature.
Aggressive scrubbing and use of exfoliates on the treated area.
You may notice that the treated pigmented lesion looks raised and/or darker with a reddened perimeter. This is normal and the lesion will gradually turn darker over the next twenty-four to forty-eight hours. It may turn dark brown or even black. The lesion will progress to darkening and/or crusting and will start flaking off in an average of seven to twenty-one days. The lesion will usually heal in twenty-one to thirty days. It will continue to fade over the next six to eight weeks. Do not to pick, remove, or pull at any darkened lesions, as scarring may occur.
The vessels may undergo immediate graying or blanching, or they may exhibit a slight purple or red color change. The vessels will fully or partially fade in about ten to fourteen days. Schedule a follow-up appointment for evaluation. Repeat treatments may be performed every seven to fourteen days if skin has fully recovered. One to four treatments may be necessary seven to fourteen days apart. Do not pick, remove, or pull at any darkened lesions, as scarring may occur.
Immediately after skin resurfacing, you will notice oozing or weeping at the treatment site that will take between three and eight days to heal; however, most people take several weeks to heal before returning to work and social obligations.
The treatment site will be covered and dressed for several days to prevent infection. As your skin heals, you may notice crusting, scabbing, and swelling. You can minimize the crusting and scabbing by applying Polysporin to the treatment site several times throughout the day. Your clinician will provide you with products for pain control. Your skin may look red for up to three months following the procedure and will gradually fade over time. You might also experience peeling and itchy skin at the treatment site in the later stages of healing. You will need to schedule a follow-up appointment a few days after the procedure and several more follow-ups as indicated.
Applying cosmetics to the treated area for at least 10 days.

The LIMARC repeaters are licensed by the Federal Communications Commission and the users of said repeaters MUST comply with ALL FCC mandated rules and regulations.
IN ADDITION, beyond the minimum required by law, LIMARC has established operating procedures to optimize the use of the repeaters and to define a level of quality representative of the club.
While not all-inclusive, the following procedures establish a baseline for all repeater users to follow.
Station Identification- All stations should identify using their FCC assigned call sign upon initially transmitting on the repeater and every ten minutes thereafter. In addition, when operating in a net or "roundtable" your call sign should be announced more frequently if needed to facilitate efficient communication.
When initially coming on the repeater, when not previously in use (verified by LISTENING for a few minutes PRIOR to transmitting), it is only necessary to announce your call. If you are trying to contact a specific station, you should announce … "K2XXX from WB2XXX". Be sure to wait at least 2 seconds after "keying up" before speaking to allow all repeaters to sync up.
If the repeater is already in use, please wait for a pause between transmissions to announce your call and be sure to always wait for the courtesy tone before beginning your communication.
All stations using the repeater should pause after the previous station drops to minimize inadvertent "doubling" (simultaneous transmission) and to allow time for new stations to identify. All stations should wait for the courtesy tone before attempting to transmit. Failure to wait for this tone may cause timing issue which may affect all transmissions on the repeater system.
When a new station enters the roundtable, those stations using the repeater, and the next station in rotation should acknowledge the new station AND turn it over to them. Also indicate whom they should turn it over to in order to keep the rotation intact.
If a station announces a single or double "emergency" the repeater is to be given to them IMMEDIATELY for their traffic.
Communication should be in plain language. "Q" codes are generally not used on repeaters but are permissible if correctly used. "10" codes are not permitted. Similarly, phonetics should be reserved for those instances when they are required (minimal signal/emergency traffic for example).
Extraneous Tones and Identifiers – Except when required for control or identification purposes, extraneous audible content should NOT be transmitted before, during or at the completion of a transmission.
Simplex vs. Repeater – If you are close enough to another station to hear them directly and all stations can communicate, move to a simplex frequency. Transmitting on the repeater OUTPUT frequency, while the repeater is operating is prohibited.
"Off Color" comments, sexual innuendo and ANY double entendre. Remember, use of codes and ciphers is NOT permitted by FCC regulations. If it can't be said in plain English, it should not be said on the repeater.
Commercial communication – you can, certainly, identify your occupation, however, if you are, for example, a car salesman, you CANNOT try to sell your wares on the repeater. This applies to the regular sale or regular repair of any equipment or service for profit within the course of your normal employment.
Derogatory remarks directed at any group (political, ethnic, racial, religious, sexual etc).
"Bathroom Humor" – If you wouldn't tell the joke to your ten year old child, don't tell it on the repeater.
kidding among friends… it is still illegal.
Discussion of a personal or intimate nature such as detailed medical conditions, disabilities, aliments, maladies as well as details of intra and/or inter family relationships and events should be curtailed. These are not considered appropriate for general public knowledge. This is for your protection as well as the courtesy of other LIMARC repeater users.
The repeaters are privately held and operated for the sole benefit of the LIMARC general membership. The repeaters cover a very large area. You never know who may be listening in!
DO NOT RESPOND TO THE INTERFERING STATION.
LIMARC CONTROL OPERATORS and/or OFFICER of LIMARC shall have the authority to address any member or guest on the repeater who in the opinion of the CONTROL OPERATOR or OFFICER is in violation of any of LIMARC standards of conduct or repeater procedures.
ANY repeater user(s), who violate the above rules or policies, procedures or protocols may or may not be warned of their infraction by a CONTROL OPERATOR or OFFICER at the time of the occurrence. The CONTROL OPERATOR or OFFICER shall report to the Board any such warning, and any action the CONTROL OPERATOR or OFFICER may have taken in response to repeater rules violation.
If the repeater user(s) negative behavior reoccurs, steps will be taken by the Board of directors, up to and including revoking the person's membership, as provided for in the LIMARC By-Laws.
Proper and legal operating etiquette is 95% common sense. While the above limits on content are not all inclusive, they should make clear the type of communication which is NOT appropriate as defined by prevailing community standards.
In general, if what is being said could be construed as embarrassing or hurtful by a listener, it is probably NOT permitted. Always err on the side of caution. When in doubt… DON'T.

Through my sculptures of archetypal buildings and houses I explore themes of self, isolation and community. Over the years I have developed an approach to decoration and firing that results in multi-layered surfaces. While alluding to environmental damage and abandonment, this creates a visual interest to draw the onlooker in. The sculptures show a real and an implied history acquired by their passage through the ceramic process. Yet they exhibit a stillness and a solitude. They become objects for reminiscence and contemplation.
The houses are shown arranged in series. There is a sense of order and community as a whole.Individually however the surface appears more chaotic, they are self contained and private and the small blackened openings make them appear sombre and haunting. We are torn between feeling individual and apart and the need to feel as if we belong to something.


Do you think that having a great-looking smile can improve your appearance and enhance your social life? Some 96% or more agreed that it can, according to a recent poll by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD). Regrettably, 50 - 70% of people surveyed also said they weren't satisfied with the current state of their smiles. But they could be — by taking advantage of the "magic" of cosmetic dentistry.
There are a wide variety of treatments available today that can completely change the way you feel about your smile. From whitening dull grey teeth to repairing chipped teeth, closing gaps, even changing how much of the gums show when you grin... the possibilities are nearly limitless. If you feel that your smile could use some improvement — at any age — then let your dentist help you get the one you've always dreamed of.


Ecobuild is the world's biggest event dedicated to sustainable design, construction and the built environment. The exhibition was held at Earl's Court Exhibition Centre in London between 3rd and 5th March. There were 800 exhibitors, as well as conference and seminar sessions.
The Conservation (Natural Habitats &c.) Regulations 1994 have been amended again, with the new regulations coming into force at the end of January. The main changes affecting ecologists and developers are that the guidance notes provided by the Statutory Nature Conservation Organisations will now have legal force and will have to be taken into account by the courts.
This judicial review case addresses how local planning authorities (LPAs) discharge their statutory duty under Regulation 3(4) of the Conservation Regulations (1994) to have regard to the requirements of the Habitats Directive in the exercise of their functions. The case focuses on how LPAs should approach the discharge of this duty in coming to planning decisions and in particular the need to properly consider the three tests set out in the Conservation Regulations that should be considered when harm to European Protected Species (EPS) is likely.
BSG Ecology co-funded a research project with Newcastle University, which was designed to assess the effect of wind turbines on the distribution of farmland birds in light of the move towards constructing more wind farms in lowland agricultural areas.


The Blu-ray camp has long been claiming victory over HD DVD in the next-generation disc format war. Sony has been particularly noisy about how it has trounced the other format. The problem is, Sony hasn't launched a Blu-ray player for us Europeans -- with the exception of the PS3, and we've only just got that. Until now, that is: Sony has finally agreed to let us join the high-definition disc revolution by launching the BDP-S1E -- a Blu-ray disc player for us to enjoy.
The BDP-S1E is well matched to the also newly announced Sony Bravia D3000 range. It supports the 24p True Cinema mode that allows films to be watched as they were intended by the director. Basically, until now we've all been suffering with movies that play back 'faster' than they do in the cinema. When a film is shown on TV or sold on DVD it has to be adjusted to be compatible with the PAL format. This means a speed up of 4 per cent -- the difference is that films are shot at a rate of 24 frames per second, where TV uses 25 frames per second.
This should excite purists who have long bemoaned that pesky 4 per cent. We think this is a pretty smart move by Sony, as most of those prepared to pay a premium for hi-def discs are likely to want to see as faithful a representation of the director's vision as possible.
It goes without saying that the BDP-S1E also supports 1080p video, for the best quality picture. There's also support for Sony's ultra-wide colour gamut, which they call 'x.v.Colour' and should provide stunningly colourful pictures on compatible HDMI 1.3 televisions.
Sony also claims the BDP-S1E has "stunning looks". We'll hold back on agreeing with that -- it has certainly got an awful lot of blue on it, if that's your bag.
Sony says the BDP-S1E will be on the market this summer, and told us it would cost around €1300 -- about £900. The question is, will the new cut-price (and less blue) player it announced recently be available in Europe too?

Leonard Cheshire Disability Philippines Foundation Inc. (LCDPFI) is a non-stock, non-profit, and non-governmental organisation established in September 2010. It works for the attainment of educational equality, economic independence, active participation and inclusion of persons with disabilities in the Philippines. It is a strategic partner of Leonard Cheshire (LC) and a member of Leonard Cheshire Disability Global Alliance.
LCDPFI is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and a member of the Sub-Committee on International Disability Network of the National Council on Disability Affairs. In the Philippine context where the disability movement is mainly made of DPOs representing persons with a specific disability, with its holistic approach to disability, LCDPFI is seen as a leading agency in the promotion of the rights of persons with disabilities. LCDPFI's work on inclusive education, inclusive livelihoods and influencing is based on a human rights approach.
The promotion of the economic rights of persons with disabilities project develops and facilitates an informal network of Disabled Persons' Organisations (DPOs) and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) working on disability issues in the National Capital Region and Bohol Province to strengthen their collective voice in promoting employment rights of persons with disabilities.
The network will act as the catalyst of civil society's efforts to make local and national duty bearers more proactive in the implementation of existing international and national laws on right to employment and livelihoods of persons with disabilities. Various capacity-building activities in lobbying and advocacy, such as in governance, employment rights, and legal frameworks on disability will be implemented to strengthen the target group's skills and participation. Awareness-raising is also a significant aspect of the project which will be done through consultations, workshops, and dissemination of Information, Education and Communication (IEC) materials.
The project is built in a way that allows various stakeholders to contribute and share experiences and good practices, and it positions persons with disabilities at its core as they will be the direct implementers of the activities. In doing so, the project will amplify the voices of the marginalised group which is under-represented in the political arena.

When it comes to promoting your blog or business, it's hard to know where to begin. There are so many social media platforms (and it seems like more are being created every day!) that it can be a tad overwhelming.
But if you are ready to start creating a community/following you're going to have to decide how to get the word out.
Luckily, there are lots of places where you can promote your blog or your business FOR FREE. You don't have to pay a bunch of money to get your name out there- all it takes is a little work and research- and patience.
Excuse my shudder- but being patient is something I dislike. But it's true! Building a tribe isn't an overnight thing and sometimes your business requires you to be consistent and patient.
I've created a list of 35 free ways/places that you can promote your blog or biz. I have not tried all 35 platforms because I'm a firm believer in mastering a couple things well before moving on. But if you are looking for a wider variety of places to get your name out there, other than Facebook and Twitter, here are some ideas!
Facebook Facebook is an awesome free platform to promote your blog or biz! I highly suggest creating a specific page for your blog/biz. That way the people who follow your page genuinely want to follow it. Nothing turns me off of a "business" faster than if a person uses a personal page to spam you with a product over, and over again.
Instagram I'm falling in love with Instagram. It's image based.
Twitter Limited to 140 characters, but you can post pictures too!
Tumblr Post multimedia content and use as a social networking platform.
Flipboard Set up like an online "magazine," you can "flip" through blog posts and news articles and save specific content to your magazines.
Google+ Share content and create specific groups you can share niche content with.
Yummly For you food bloggers out there!
Feedly You can organize a blog feed and share content with Feedly.
Linkedin The business minded social media platform. Linkedin is usually touted as the professionals' social media platform. Make business connections and create a profile for your freelancing business or blog.
StumbleUpon Stumbleupon is exactly what it sounds like. You "stumble" through blog posts and can like content that you find and save blogs that you want to follow later.
Bloglovin Bloglovin allows you to follow any number of blogs through the site. You can set up your blog to where it automatically adds any new posts you've published to the Bloglovin site.
Digg This site shows the top and trending news and blog posts.
Reddit Add direct links or summaries to Reddit. Start discussions or build a community.
Fancy Find/show products for sale.
Diigo It's a social bookmarking site.
Crunchbase This site provides industry information and information on specific businesses.
Newsvine A collaborative news site.
Blo.gs A blog index site.
Slashdot News for technology related content.
Yammer Social networking site to be used within organizations.
Wanelo Want, need, love. A round up site where you can find products for sale!
We Heart It Image based sharing platform.
Blogger Blogger is the Google blogging platform where you can follow other "blogger" blogs and they can follow you.
WordPress Follow other WordPress blogs and vice versa.
Word of mouth. Never underestimate the power of face to face communication.
Tailwind. Join Tailwind tribes and get your Pinterest pins shared by other bloggers! It's a fantastic way to get your blog posts/products out there. You get your first 100 pins free, and if you sign up with my link you get $15 credited to your account.
With 35 places to promote your blog/biz, this list should give you some ideas on where to start!
Disclaimer: Don't try to do all of these at once! Pick a couple and learn them well. Master those BEFORE moving on. Otherwise, you won't be able to gain any traction. So find some platforms that fit your niche- and FOCUS on those.
This is a great list of resources! Thanks for sharing. Although I use many of these, there are a few that I need to explore a bit further — and a few that I should probably build into my routine promotion cycle.
Keep up the great blogging! It's always great to come across someone who is enthusiastic about maintaining a minimalistic lifestyle.
Wow, this is such a great list for us who are looking to find more places to promote our blogs. I've actually been looking for some more places that I could use to help me get the word out about my blog.
I already use some of these from the list, but it's always nice to have a nice list that we can turn to when we need to spread the word about our blog.
Oh, by the way, I love using Pinterest to help me grow my blog and I think that every blogger should give it a try to help them out.
Thanks for taking the time to put this together for us and I just shared it on Pinterest.

Q: How do I dynamically add tables in android sqlite? After hours searching through almost every code related website and still not having found a solution I finally ask my question here and hope for an answer (or many).
I am creating an android app that gets messages sent from a server. Different clients can emit those messages and my app should be able to

*

*(first create) check if there is already a user specific table in db

*if not create one (or more over time) dynamically

So my question more precicely is how I can create new tables over time whenever a so far unknown user sends data.
I do not want the tables to be predefined in my dbhelper class but rather have them dynamically built.

A: You should not have to create tables dynamically. In the case you are describing (if I understand it properly) you can have two tables. A messages table, and a users table. Therefore your schema would look something like this.
Users
id | user
---------
1  | joe
2  | jane
3  | jack

Messages
id  | user | message
--------------------
1   |  2   | "hi joe!"
2   |  1   | "How are you Jane?"
3   |  1   | "And jack, what about you?"
4   |  3   | "Hi guys. What's up?"

Now, your messages may not be chat messages like this one, but the idea still stands. Have two separate tables. One for users, and one for messages, that way you can keep all your messages together in one table, and identify the associated user by their user id.
Ideally the users column on the Messages table should have a foreign key constraint too.

A: What you need is a singleton class that deals with your database and has methods that you will be using from other classes. I would create something of this sort:
public class DBHandler extends SQLiteOpenHelper
{
  private static DBHandler dbh = null;
  private static SQLiteDatabase DB = null;

  private DBHandler(Context context)
  {
    super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
    ctx = context;
  }

  public static synchronized DBHandler getInstance(Context c)
  {
    if (dbh == null)
      dbh = new DBHandler(c);
    return dbh;
  }

  private SQLiteDatabase getDB()
  {
    if (DB != null)
      return DB;
    return this.getWritableDatabase();
  }

  public void createTab(String tabname)
  {
    SQLiteDatabase db = getDB();

    try
    {
      String stmt = "CREATE TABLE " + tabname + ... // the rest of your statement
      db.execSQL(stmt);
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

But what you need to consider is the fact that tables are usually not created dynamically. If you need to do it frequently enough, then your schema is lacking some design and will very quickly pollute your catalogs. Can you please post exactly what you are storing? That way I can offer a better schema design which can render all these tables creations unnecessary.


Some pelicans frantically brushed oily feathers with their bills while others, full coated in black ooze, simply stood and quivered, as if in shock from the oil's toxicity. When a biologist in a haz-mat suit approached one pelican, it fled in fear into the inner sanctum of the small island where reeds and vegetation hid it from capture. Some tried to fly but could not.
"They're trying to fly away but they can't because they're covered in oil," said Billy Nungesser, president of Plaquemines Parish, the southern-most parish in Louisiana. "We're begging for help."
At question is an emergency permit applied for by Louisiana to protect its coastline, a request that includes dredging sediment to create barrier islands between oil and wetlands. Louisiana's emergency proposal was denied on Saturday by the Army Corps of Engineers. The Corps is unsure of the environmental impact of emergency barriers.
"I think here's the fundamental issue," Jindal said. "We've answered every question they've ever asked as quickly as possible, but you have to understand that there is an environmental cost of not acting. I mean, the environmental damage is happening right here."
While Jindal attempted to remain diplomatic on Sunday, his political boat-mate, Nungesser, was not. Nungesser told reporters that his parish has had a plan in place for several weeks to protect its ecology but homegrown methods of protection have been denied.
"They are bureaucrats made to stand in the way and question things to death," Nungesser said. "That's how they justify their jobs. Fire all those guys and let's just do the right thing."
But Louisiana's ecosystem is not the only thing at stake, according to Jindal. A vital buffer zone protecting the state from storm surges caused hurricanes could also be affected by oil. Jindal said the state of Louisiana has spent $800 million in the last three years in an effort to restore some of the state's delicate coastline. Over the past 80 years, approximately 2,000 miles of Louisiana tidal lands and coastline have eroded away, Jindal said. The state has about 7,000 miles of coast, much of which is wetlands and not continuous.
"We committed that money for flood protection," Jindal said. "This was supposed to be our best year in 80 years in terms of coastal land loss. This oil is threatening all of that progress. After 80 years we were finally beginning to reverse these trends. We were finally making concrete progress."
Oil reached at least 12 miles into Louisiana's wetlands on Sunday, according to officials, and that seems to be just the beginning of a long fight for this state. The heavy crude that was in Barataria Bay on Saturday had moved with the tides by Sunday but would return, Jindal said, when tidal waters shifted, essentially coating the pelicans' rookeries from the opposite side.
"Scientists at Louisiana State University said that we could be dealing with oil washing up along our coastline, even if they cap the leak, it could be months; it could even longer; it could be years," Jindal said. "This is a marathon for us. We need the federal government to tell BP that this isn't done until the fisheries, the wetlands, the marine life, the ecosystem is restored back into its status the way it was before the spill."
A representative of the Coast Guard accompanied Jindal's six-boat floating news conference on Sunday and monitored Louisiana's public relations efforts. At one point the Coast Guard representative asked one reporter to repeat a comment made by Nungesser about lack of leadership.
"We can't afford to fail," Nungesser said. "We need a leader and so far we don't have one."

These pieces by Claudia Marseille are amazing. If a book is coming, I'd sure love to read it.
I found these poems very moving. Each one delivered a punch of a different shade. I was a bit surprised to get to the final one because I was not expecting the humor.
