Love this bedroom by New York-based Kwinter & Co. The rug, the nail detail to the headboard, the retro vibe to the furniture and the art. Hang it all I’ll just settle for the rug if push came to shove.
I can’t make up my mind what I like better about this apartment. The stellar midcentury furniture collection, the equally impressive art selection or the fact that it is alive with colour and light. I know I’d move in in a heart beat. They don’t call me Midcentury Jo for nothing. Fairview from the portfolio of Chris Nguyen of Analog Dialog.
I am dying a slow death over this total gem of an apartment. It is EVERYTHING a Paris apartment should be. AND MORE. Featured on The Socialite Family you can catch all the juicy details there. If you’re going to take over your grandmother’s apartment and keep the tradition alive THIS is how you do it – by working with all of the jaw-dropping original architecture and adding in vintage mixed with iconic modern elements (with help from architect friend Samantha Hauvette).
The Ploum sofa by the Bouroullec brothers is one of the coolest sofas of all time IMHO.
Up there with the Ploum is the Togo. YAAASSSS!
Also by the Bouroullec brothers are these Flos AIM pendants. I have one in my living room and I want a zillion more.
Can’t have a funky Paris apartment without some tumbling block tile. *SWOON*
My position stays the same week after week. If you have to drag your sorry arse into work on a Saturday it better be somewhere stylish. After drooling over the retro offices of Moscow-based interior design studio A3 I’m planning on learning Russian.

LA Furniture makes shopping for furniture a less daunting task than it needs to be. Their website is awesome – it provides you with photos of decorated rooms and then shows you each element used in the space and takes you to details of each and with a click of a button each piece is yours! Here is a cool 3D rendering of a space they dub “Italian Style Living“:
Each piece of furniture and lighting in the photo are available on their website, and you can create this same look in your own home or buy your favourite pieces and mix up the rest. Let’s have a look at each item in the photo above…
I need to start with that sectional sofa. I am dying for a sectional since my husband and I are always cramped for lounging while watching movies. This Lusso Panorama Italian Modern Grey Fabric and White Leather Sectional Sofa is amazing – it is totally modular so I can have my side set up how I like it and hubby can organize his side however he wants.
Every living room needs a statement lounge chair or two. These are the Divani Casa Kylie Modern Red Eco-Leather Accent Chair and the Divani Casa Zinnia Modern Red and Black Eco-Leather Lounge Chair. BOOM!
Living room media storage is key. No one wants to see your ugly cable box. This sleek number hides all the ugly – Modrest Edward Modern Large Black High Gloss TV Stand.
Rugs are a great way to warm up a space and anchor the furniture. A graphic rug like this Modrest Palo by Linie Design Modern Cowhide Area Rug does the trick, and keeps your feet (and cats) warm.
Lighting is one of my favourite things. This Modrest 7023 Modern Red Floor Lamp is a great punch of colour and a cool modern touch to the space. When placed over a corner of the sectional, it creates the perfect reading nook.
If you would rather check out LA Furniture‘s offerings in person, they currently have 5 locations – 4 in Los Angeles and 1 in Brooklyn. Carrying over 6000 items, ranging in styles from Contemporary, Modern, Classic Italian and Transitional, they have something for everyone.

Fore-edged painting is a special art dating as far back as the early 1650’s, where paintings on the edges of books are hidden by gold plating so that the art is visible only at a certain angle. Some especially fancy books have double fore-edge paintings, so that if you flip the book over, you get another scene. Colleen Theisen from the University of Iowa’s Special Collections & University Archives shared a collection of four books called Autumn by Robert Mudie, as shown above.
Here’s another particularly fine example.
P.S. This is my 1000th post! Hooray!! Thank you all so much for reading my blog! I really appreciate it! =D

Review by Frank Plowright
Let’s begin by addressing the odd title. After all, it’s the fifth Omnibus collection of Ed Brubaker’s Captain America work, the previous being The Trial of Captain America Omnibus, and he returned the Winter Soldier in the first. Somewhere in between, though, Bucky Barnes seemingly died once again, but, as is so often the case, ta-dah, he wasn’t dead at all.
This is rather a hodge podge, with no real unifying theme other than Ed Brubaker’s writing. The retro-engineered World War II romps of Captain America and Bucky sit alongside the final and weakest issues of Brubaker’s Captain America run, emphasising the superhero, and then there’s the spy-oriented Winter Soldier solo material.
Only two of tales collected here deal with Steve Rogers as Captain America in the present day. The Patrick Zircher illustrated tale is a return to cloak and dagger Captain America, and moderately successful as such, but Brubaker’s last material on that series, written with Cullen Bunn and pencilled by Scot Eaton, is tired and disappointing until a wonderful finale illustrated by Brubaker’s original collaborator Steve Epting.
That finale apart, the material is bettered by a tale of Bucky Barnes’ past, reconstituting tales from the 1940s, nicely drawn by Chris Samnee, with Marc Andreyko collaborating on the plot with Brubaker. That’s rather the theme for the Captain America material as Barnes as Captain America in the present day is the work of Brubaker and James Asmus. It’s perfunctory stuff well drawn by Francesco Francavilla, and returning the man who was Bucky in the final days of World Wat II. He later has a brief cameo in the Winter Soldier material.
That begins with a clever tale, linking Bucky Barnes’ seeming death while being Captain America with the start of his following solo tales as Winter Soldier. Given that they do follow, it’s hardly a major spoiler to note that he survives his death, but it provides an opportunity for deep undercover missions for S.H.I.E.L.D. and Nick Fury if the world believes him gone.
The remaining material is in effect fourteen chapters of one long tale with ties back into the shared Soviet-era pasts of both Winter Soldier and Black Widow. Butch Guice and Michael Lark, on separate chapters, provide some excellent art, but Brubaker’s story is padded in places while elsewhere ticking all the boxes for a first rate action thriller. While Doctor Doom plays a part, the primary antagonist is an extremely capable former Soviet agent who’s awoken from suspended animation, rejected his former profession, but decided he’s owed. There’s a fine conclusion, but it should have arrived far sooner.
Overall this is the weakest Omnibus of Ed Brubaker’s Captain America tales. There’s a sense of ennui about some, and others seem to be going through the motions. The best quality overall is to be found in the Winter Soldier solo segments, but even that’s not sustained throughout.
If you’re interested, but don’t want to pay the high price of this oversized hardback the material is available in standard trade paperbacks as Captain America & Bucky: The Life Story of Bucky Barnes and Old Wounds, Captain America by Ed Brubaker volumes 3 and 4, and Winter Soldier: The Longest Winter, Broken Arrow and Black Widow Hunt.


Pearl Jam is a band that has always done things its own way on its own terms, which is one of the many reasons why being a fan of the band can be so rewarding. It feels great supporting artists who are not only able to make a living off their art, but who also who do so by bucking conventional norms and in the end they manage to come out of the experience better off for doing so. It feels even better when those artists are a bunch of likable hometown boys who develop into massive rock stars.
But are those hometown boys still likable if they ignore their hometown fans? That seemingly is the case with Pearl Jam, who have been MIA in Seattle for the past several years.
The band’s last concert in Seattle happened on Sept. 22, 2009, which makes it nearly three years since Seattle’s biggest active band has played a show in its hometown. The band has no plans to play any shows in North America this year other than three cash-grab festival appearances and one benefit show for Sen. Jon Tester in Montana. If the group doesn’t play a show in Seattle this year, it will mark the band’s longest gap between hometown appearances in its 22-year history.
So why no Pearl Jam shows in Seattle?
The answer to that question is likely long and complicated and it’s an answer I cannot provide. The band managed to tour Canada in 2011, the year it celebrated the 20th anniversary of Ten and held its own festival in Wisconsin, but didn’t play a single note Seattle. The last stop in that Canadian tour found the band in Vancouver, B.C., a mere 140 miles north of Seattle.
Of course, Pearl Jam are tireless road warriors and they have earned the ability to do whatever they want, however they want to do it, especially when it comes to touring. They owe local fans nothing — in fact, they’ve always given fans more than they should be expected to with benefit shows for local charitable organizations and multiple appearances by Pearl Jam offshoots during the past three years — but it’s their track record of giving back to local fans that makes their absence notable, making it almost feel as if they are neglecting their hometown fans who have been with them since the beginning.
Almost is the key word in that last statement. As noted earlier, the band has been great to its Seattle fans in the past and as a passionate hometown fan myself I have faith Pearl Jam will be back strong in 2013 and that with the band’s return will come some possible partnerships (think Target & Backspacer), interesting distribution methods and hopefully some live shows too.
And while Pearl Jam as a unit has been a missing presence in Seattle, its individual members have been relatively active in Seattle. Brad, Stone Gossard’s other band which he swears isn’t a side project, managed to release two records since PJ’s last local show. Those two album have spawned eight local shows by Brad, which was a relatively dormant band prior to 2010. Jeff Ament launched a new side project called Tres Mountains, which plated the Showbox, and released his second solo album. Eddie Vedder delivered two solo shows at Benaroya Hall. Mike McCready has been a part of several benefit concerts, played his annual Flight to Mars gigs and even got back together with his pre-Pearl Jam band Shadow. And while Matt Cameron has busy with Soundgarden drumming duties, even Soundgarden has played more shows in Seattle than Pearl Jam during the past three years.
Of course, over the years the band has been very good to its hometown fans, offering up intimate shows (Showbox 2002), an acoustic gig (Benaroya Hall 2003) and even a free show (Drop in the Park 1992). Pearl Jam has a special bond with its hometown fans and as a die-hard local fan myself I couldn’t imagine being a Pearl Jam fan living in any other city.
But the purpose of this piece isn’t to slam Pearl Jam for not being good to its local fanbase. Despite the lack of local shows, I would argue quite the opposite. My purpose here is to pose the question of Pearl Jam’s whereabouts the past few years as well as provide some possible ways the band can continue to give back to its local fans. Here are a few ideas, most of which are pipe dreams, for how Pearl Jam can rekindle its relationship with its Emerald City supporters.
Bring The Big Three to The Clink: Fans have been clamoring for a Pearl Jam/Soundgarden double-bill ever since Chris Cornell announced the return of the Knights of the Soundtable, but the big concern has been whether Matt Cameron could pull off back-to-back sets. Well, why not bring in Alice in Chains for a triple-bill and give Matt a bit of a break? Or, even better, bring in a few extra local heavies both old and new (Mudhoney, My Goodness, Walking Papers, etc.) and make it a daylong event? Where would this all go down? Century Link Field of course. If Metallica and U2 can pack that place, then a day with Pearl Jam and pals should have no problem selling tickets.
Get residential: One of the trends du jour for touring bands has been to play classic albums in their entirety. Another trend has been to take up residencies in certain cities. When Pearl Jam releases an album next year it will be the band’s tenth studio album. To celebrate their entire career as well as the release of the new record, why not combine those two trends by playing two records and their related b-sides per night for a five-night stint at KeyArena. It would be a guaranteed sell out every night and hey, who wouldn’t want to hear No Code performed in its entirety?
Go ‘Shooting: Doesn’t it seem strange that Pearl Jam, Seattle’s biggest band, has never performed at Bumbershoot, Seattle’s annual music and arts festival? This is definitely something that needs to change. And since One Reel, the company that organizes Bumbershoot, is all about partnerships this year, why not partner up with Pearl Jam to curate the festival’s music and arts offerings? Each band member could help book a stage. Eddie could bring in the likes of Jack Johnson and Ben Harper and play a ukulele set. Matt could work to provide some jazz bookings and possibly a Harrybu McCage set. Mike could be all about the classic shredding rock and recruit locals in Star Anna, Kristen Ward and others for a Hootenanny-type stage. Stone would bring the classic country background along with Brad and Jeff would deliver the funk and hip-hop elements. What could be more Seattle than a Bumbershoot-Pearl Jam partnership? As an added bonus, One Reel is a non-profit organization and Pearl Jam loves working with non-profits.
Drop a deuce in the park: Of all the ideas this one is probably the most far-fetched shot in the dark considering the last time Pearl Jam played a free show in Seattle it was a pretty difficult task to pull off. However, the Drop in the Park show from 1992 was a legendary show and it would be absolutely amazing for Pearl Jam to revisit the site and deliver another free concert for local fans. Imagine all the fun marketing opportunities, let alone the humorous slogans, for Drop in the Park Deuce.

Bayless tweets about state dinner
May 19, 2010 (WASHINGTON) (WLS) -- Chicago's very own Rick Bayless fired off a few final tweets about his state dinner for Mexico's president, Felipe Calderon, before getting to work at the White House.
The award- winning chef and owner of Chicago upscale Mexican restaurants Topolobampo and Frontera Grill, sent a message to his followers on Twitter.
"Heading into the WH for another full day of creation," Bayless wrote. "Got my fingers crossed there are no hitches!"
The state dinner is the second for the Obamas. The first had a hitch or two- including the so-called party-crashers who slipped through security.
About 200 guests were invited to the dinner, which will be held in the White Houses' East Room. The guests of honor at the state dinner are President Calderon and first lady, Margarita Zavala. More people are invited to attend an after-dinner event on the White House lawn.
Bayless has spent two days getting ready for the dinner. The menu was kept secret until Wednesday afternoon. It features Oregon Wagyu beef with Bayless's black mole sauce- which takes days to make and includes 20 plus ingredients- will be on there.
"GR8 cooking w WH staff yesterday," Bayless tweeted early Wednesday. "Remarkable their organization, knowledge of protocol."
Bayless said being a guest chef at the White House is outside of his "normal."
"It's a huge deal because it's completely outside of the normal things that I do, the normal places I'd be asked to cook."
Bayless is also the host of Mexico: One Plate At A Time on the Live Well HD Network.
Several Chicagoans made the cut to attend the Obama Administration's second State Dinner:
- Firefighters, cop among 8 injured in South Side fire
- Priest Michael O'Connell reinstated by archdiocese
- Boston police destroy 2 backpacks at marathon site
- ABC7 First Alert Weather Forecast
- Mother questions why Harvey police shot son
- Man shot in Palos Heights home invasion
- Local runners preparing for Boston Marathon
- Suspect sought in Boystown alley sex assault
- Loop bank robbery suspect arrested
- Drunk driver charged with driving 118 mph on I-55

Recently I attended a brunch hosted by Stonyfield YoBaby where bloggers & influencers gathered together to learn more about children’s nutrition. The event was held at Claudine Artisan Kitchen & Bakeshop in Encino, where we were able to sample YoBaby Organic Yogurt, along with other delicious food.
Dr. Tanya Altmann, a Calabasas-based pediatrician & assistant clinical professor at UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital, was the guest speaker.
Dr. Altmann founded Calabasas Pediatrics three years ago, where she focuses on wellness & prevention. She discovered that what you feed your kids can make a difference. Foods filled with artificial colors & additives can create a shift in a child’s palate, affecting food preferences.
For those who read my blog, you know that my daughter has a sweet tooth. When I go food shopping, one of my biggest challenges is the cereal aisle at the grocery store. Dr. Altmann shared with us a simple tip when it comes to cereal shopping. When choosing a store-bought cereal, it should contain less than 10 ingredients & no artificial dyes or colors.
Dr. Altmann is also the author of “What to Feed Your Baby: A Pediatrician’s Guide to the 11 Essential Foods.”
During the brunch, Dr. Altmann shared with us the 11 essential foods that we should be feeding our children:
- Green Vegetables
- Yogurt, Cheese & Milk
- Nuts & Nut Butters
- Summer Berries & Winter Citrus
- Chicken, Beans & Lentils
- Whole Grains
I know that many parents like to make smoothies for their kids. It’s a quick meal to drink on the way to school drop-off. However, one of the items that Dr. Altmann warned us to stay away from is protein powders filled with artificial ingredients. She advocated using yogurt as a smoothie base & adding in fresh or frozen fruit.
I tried out some of the Stonyfield products during the brunch. They have a wide variety of organic yogurts. Their YoBaby product line has a plain, whole milk version as well as vanilla & fruit flavors. Stonyfield YoBaby & Kids yogurts are perfect for eating straight out of the container or in a smoothie!
Speaking of containers, did you know that Stonyfield’s yogurt cups are plant-based, instead of petroleum? It’s sustainable packaging that’s good for the environment & your family!
Gary Hirshberg (co-founder of Stonyfield) said, “We are what we eat.” This basic premise is what motivated him to create Stonyfield’s first product, whole milk organic yogurt.
This passion & enthusiasm for developing healthy food products for consumers has enabled the company to create additional products such as: organic yogurts, smoothies, soy yogurts, frozen yogurts, milk & cream. Stonyfield’s commitment to organic farming, healthy food & healthy people has resulted in manufacturing their products without the use of toxic pesticides, artificial hormones, antibiotics or GMOs.

In response to rising concerns about adverse global environmental change (GEC), or climate change (CC) impacts, adaptation and mitigation measures are being widely implemented. However, much still needs to be understood about how these measures manifest in reality at various scales and the drivers and barriers to action in specific contexts. This thesis uses multiple social science research methods to investigate responses to GEC/CC, with a particular emphasis on adaptation and underlying development contexts, within the neighbouring Ugu and eThekwini local government districts in KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa. The study’s focus on local authorities and communities is pertinent given that many adaptation and some mitigation actions are ultimately undertaken at local scales. The thesis comprises two main layers of analysis: first, a comparative analysis of Ugu and eThekwini municipalities’ GEC/CC responses and an investigation of the relationship between these municipalities regarding environmental and GEC agendas, and the likely effect of collaboration or lack thereof on GEC adaptation initiatives. Second, incorporating these municipal-scale findings, I explore understandings and responses to climate variability and change and their likely effects within several diverse local study sites across rural-urban continua within both municipalities. The results show that, despite their close proximity, the two municipalities have responded to GEC in very different ways and that municipal authorities, together with their respective diverse local populations, have divergent adaptive capacities. The research also reveals that horizontal inter-municipal collaboration and vertical collaboration between multiple government spheres is weak. The thesis suggests that strengthening such collaboration within a multi-level governance framework can facilitate effective adaptation and address current divergent municipal adaptive capacities. The thesis also reveals the importance for GEC measures to account for the diversity of understandings, responses and vulnerabilities to GEC amongst local populations, shaped by multiple climatic and non-climatic stresses, including cultural beliefs.

I adore lilacs - and the bushes in my yard are finally blooming! I absolutely love the scent.
I think this giraffe image in the Zoo Review set is striking - so striking, in fact, that I opted to NOT add color. Instead, I went for a Daffodil Delight/Basic Gray color scheme.
I embossed the front of the Daffodil Delight card with the Square Lattice embossing folder before adding layers of Basic Gray (punched with the scallop border punch) and Very Vanilla. The giraffe was stamped in Jet Black StazOn, and the sentiment is from the hostess set Banner Greetings. Finally, I added a piece of stitched Daffodil Delight ribbon.
I should note that the Zoo Review stamp set is no longer available for purchase. For the first time ever (that I can remember - and I've been a demonstrator for 12-1/2 years), when stamps on the retiring list are gone, they're GONE. As of today, the stitched ribbon and the embossing folder are retiring, but you can still order them via my Online Store at http://therubberroom.stampinup.net.

12. Iowa City, Iowa: The joke is that no one comes here for the weather – but thanks to the University of Iowa, three medical centers, and a small-business development center, the job climate is good. The main attraction is a widely held sense of a safe haven, plus small town friendliness, an urbane art, music, and literary scene and a bustling downtown pedestrian mall.
13. Portsmouth, New Hampshire: The historic Market Square boasts lobster restaurants, boutiques, art galleries and used bookstores. It is also a working waterfront where busy tugboats and tankers dock along the Piscataqua River. High tech companies have found a home here, and the city features good restaurants and a hopping cultural scene without big-city hassles.
14. Spokane, Washington: Located where the Columbia River Valley rises to meet the forests of the northern Rockies, Spokane is a darn good buy with low utility costs, no income tax, and housing costs below national prices. The crown jewel is Riverfront Park, which has summer concerts, an ice skating rink and a beautifully restored carousel. The Rockies offer fishing, hiking, boating and skiing, and Spokane was recently named one of the best places in the country to play golf. The college helps support plays, music, restaurants, and clubs, and Spokane boasts its own symphony, opera house and a well-respected jazz orchestra.
15. Ashland, Oregon: Thousands of people descend each year on this liberal enclave tucked in the foothills of the Siskiyou Mountains for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. The town offers four mild seasons, and a dazzling array of theater beyond Shakespeare. Recreational opportunities include walking and biking in Lithia Park, a downtown oasis, and skiing and camping in nearby mountains. People 65 and older can take any class free of charge at Southern Oregon University.

Relation of cigarette smoking and mood disorders to cognitive impairment progression
MetadataShow full item record
Background Both depressive disorders and nicotine use are proven and important risk factors of dementia. The purpose of this study was to verify if cigarette smoking and depression symptoms together are disadvantageous for the prognosis in mild cognitive impairment. Material and methods A total of 43 patients with a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment were included in the study. ADAS-Cog was performed upon inclusion in the study and again at least 2 years later. Additionally, patients with ≥18 points in MADRS were qualified as depressive. The Fagerström scale for nicotine dependence was administered to smokers. Results Our study shows a relation between severity of depressive symptoms and further deterioration of cognitive functions according to ADAS-cog scale. Regression analysis revealed that smoking associated with severity of depressive disorders is also correlated with the progression of cognitive impairment. Conclusions The results of our study are based on a small number of subjects and should be regarded as early findings. Moreover, nicotine dependency should not be regarded as an isolated factor affecting mood disorders and cognitive impairment progression. Further studies on larger groups of patients and using more sensitive methods of cognitive function assessment are needed.

Pilbara Minerals and Galaxy Resources have rushed straight to Altura Mining's lender group to try and stitch up a snap deal to acquire the embattled lithium play.
Sources told Street Talk the two companies had been in talks with Altura's loan note holders – the group that appointed KordaMentha as Altura's receivers on Monday – to try and nut out a quickfire deal.
Pilbara shapes as the frontrunner in the race and has always been a logical acquirer of Altura, given its lithium project is directly adjacent to Altura's in Pilgangoora, near Port Hedland in Western Australia.
However if it did snap it up, fund managers reckon it would need to launch a hefty equity raising to fund the deal, somewhere in the order of $250 million. Pilbara had $83 million cash on hand as of June this year.
It would be the perfect bait and switch for Pilbara.
Investors are already up to date with Altura and its project, thanks to an extensive marketing schedule by Altura and its advisers Azure and Canaccord Genuity in the past couple of weeks.
Altura's camp were intending to get their own $150 million-plus equity raising done, before the company's lenders took control of the situation by appointing KordaMentha as receiver.
Pilbara, should it be able to secure a deal with the lenders, would be able to surf in on the back of that marketing, pitch a cost out and restructure story, and turn Altura's mooted raising into a deal for itself.
It's up to the lenders whether to pursue a quick deal, or allow KordaMentha time to market Altura's assets more widely and try to find a better offer.

After flouting the code despite the violation of education workers, this substandard hospital contract is another reminder of Premier Ford’s unconstitutional attack on working families and calls for Prime Minister Trudeau will defend the Canadian Charter.
RICHMOND HILL, NY, November 6, 2022 /CNW/ – SEIU Healthcare, after negotiations with the Ontario Hospital Association last year, received an arbitrator’s decision this past Friday afternoon that hospital members, and CUPE’s Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU), is limited to 1% salary for the next two years of the contract.
“The result of the 1% wage cap will only worsen the understaffing crisis in hospitals and the result of Bill 124, the anti-unconstitutional labor law passed by the majority government. him. Sharleen Stewart, president of SEIU Healthcare. “As education workers react to Ford’s latest attack on Charter Rights, this cruel pay cut for hospital workers is another reminder Doug Ford an unconstitutional attack on working families.”
Widespread hospital closures continue Ontario because the provincial government is unable to retain frontline workers including personal support workers, paramedics, registered nurses, registered nurses, respiratory therapists and medical assistants the food. As hospitals report record job vacancies and patient wait times, inflation rose 8.1% in June.
SEIU Healthcare will continue to stand up for workers’ rights and is confident our court challenge will result in the repeal of Bill 124.
The union is also calling on Prime Minister Trudeau to use section 90 of the Constitution Act which authorizes the disallowance of Bill 28: Premier Ford’s use of the clause despite the denial of the right of workers to freely contract.
“The Charter of Rights and Freedoms cannot be a mere proposition if our rights rot, so we call on Prime Minister Trudeau to use his federal powers to protect the rights of all workers.”

You may be considering FTM or FTN top surgery in order to effectively address your gender dysphoria.
Or, you might have already successfully undergone a gender affirming mastectomy and your life now has been positively transformed.
Either way, an important health consideration that you should be aware of going forward is if there is a possibility of developing breast cancer in the future despite the fact that you have had a mastectomy.
This may or may not have been discussed by your plastic surgeon. Perhaps, you heard something vaguely about this from someone else or came across this topic online.
So, is there a still risk of developing breast cancer after a gender affirming mastectomy?
If so, what is that risk?
Are transmen and gender nonbinary individuals frequently diagnosed with breast cancer?
Let’s look into this a little bit more.
Can you develop breast cancer despite having had a mastectomy?
Top surgery entails the removal of breast tissue – a procedure that is called a mastectomy. This is the same name of the procedure that is employed in the treatment of breast cancer. However, there are some significant differences.
With the mastectomy performed for the treatment of breast cancer, all breast tissue is removed, leaving skin that is generally thin and with contour irregularities which frequently creates varying degrees of chest wall concavities. This outcome is considered to be acceptable as its purpose is for the treatment of a cancer which can be life threatening.
In comparison, the mastectomy performed for gender dysphoria needs to be considered an aesthetic procedure in addition to a therapeutic one. This means that the chest wall has to look as natural as possible. Defects and deep indentations must be avoided. Consequently, a small amount of breast tissue may remain to allow for a natural, desirable chest wall contour.
It is this residual breast tissue that can be susceptible to malignant degeneration at a later time.
Is it common to develop breast cancer after top surgery?
It appears that the occurrence of breast cancer in individuals who have had either FTM or FTN top surgery is relatively rare and far less common than the rate seen in cisgender women. However, truly accurate numbers are not presently available for many reasons.
Rates that have been publicized are largely based on imperfect data culled from multiple retrospective published studies. This can offer generalities but not highly reliable numbers.
Intuitively, you would think that by removing virtually all of the breast tissue, the risk for developing breast cancer would be markedly reduced.
And you would be right.
In fact, this is the basis and logic of the procedure known as a prophylactic mastectomy where the breasts are removed in women who are at a very high risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer in the future. A study published years ago determined that this procedure reduces the risk of developing breast cancer in women who have a strong family history of this disease by 90% (1).
There is also evidence that taking testosterone may also reduce the risk of developing breast cancer. Studies have shown the positive effects of testosterone at the cellular level in breast tissues of transmen that appear to support this.
What is the actual risk of developing breast cancer after top surgery?
There is no highly accurate data detailing the risk of developing breast cancer after undergoing FTM or FTN top surgery. What information that is available is based on a combination of multiple previously published papers that have many uncontrolled variables and limited information.
These variables, however, are very important in order to obtain quality data.
Nevertheless, there are numbers that at least can provide us with some perspective of the risk and relative risk of developing breast cancer as compared to cisgender females and cisgender males.
Gooren et al (2) conducted a retrospective study evaluating the incidence of breast cancer occurring in transmen and transwomen who were receiving hormonal treatment for their gender identity. From what could be ascertained, few if any of these individuals had undergone gender affirming top surgery. The results of this study were published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine in 2013 (2).
Based on this information, it was determined that the incidence of developing breast cancer in these transmen was 5.9 per 100,000 person-years.
The comparative the risk for cisgender women was 154.7 per 100,000 person-years.
For cis-gender men, that risk was 1.1 per 100,000 person years.
Based on these numbers, the risk of developing breast cancer in transmen and gender nonbinary individuals is massively reduced. It is only a very small fraction of the risk facing cisgender women.
In fact, the risk is quite close to that of cisgender men.
It is also important to note that this study involves a cohort of transmen who have not had top surgery – a procedure that we know will reduce the risk of developing breast cancer.
Consequently, the actual risk for transmen will be even lower than the above cited number – approaching the rate experienced by cisgender men.
This is big!
What are some factors that can affect your risk of developing breast cancer?
Personal factors and other variables can affect your overall risk of developing breast cancer after top surgery. These can increase or decrease it from the already generally very low rate.
Some of the positive and negative influences on the risk of developing breast cancer after top surgery include:
• Age when you had top surgery
• Family history of breast cancer
• Genetic markers for breast cancer
• Whether or not you are taking testosterone
• If taking testosterone, for how long?
• Dosage of testosterone
• Whether or not you are taking estrogen suppressors and for how long
• Whether or not you had your ovaries removed (oophorectomy) and at what age
• Lifestyle factors
• Presence and amount of residual breast tissue
Key Takeaway Points on Having Breast Cancer after Top Surgery
Based on present and past information, the occurrence of breast cancer in transmen (and likely gender nonbinary individuals) is extremely low. In fact, it appear to be very close to the rate experienced by cisgender men.
Going forward, hopefully, we will not only be able to more accurately determine the rate of occurrence of breast cancer after FTM and FTN top surgery but also identify the important risk factors such as a family history of breast cancer.
This can better help in making surveillance recommendations to those transmen and gender nonbinary individuals who have had top surgery.

No easy way to honor public figures
To the editor:
I want to say something that I haven’t seen articulated on social media. I admit I have been a proponent of removing monuments celebrating the Confederacy for a long time, and I am happy that people are finally recognizing the role these monuments have played intimidating many Americans.
I am relieved and inspired by people that have demanded the removal of tributes to men like Nathaniel Bedford Forrest and others whose images have been erected and displayed to tell a fake version of Southern history. Confederate leaders were men whot fought to enslave people and often literally killed US soldiers. There is no logical or acceptable reason why images of these people should be erected on public property and maintained by public money.
When we talk about statues of other American historical figures the conversation becomes more complicated. There are many people in our history who condoned the institution of slavery but are also known for making other contributions to our nation. The question is what do we do about things that remember and alleviate the contributions of these people.
This isn’t a simple issue. As a human, I realize that I am far from perfect. I also realize that even the most evil of people are capable of doing kind things. All of us are capable of both good and evil. People are complex and many historical figures did do good things and very bad things. George Washington owned slaves. He also made many positive contributions to this nation. What do we do about things that honor people like him?
I fully realize I am not going to provide an answer that will please all of us, but I feel I can make a contribution. When we decide what individuals we will honor in our communities. Let’s take a long look at why they are being honored. What is the motivation for displaying this painting or naming this military base? Are the people pushing this honor trying to highlight a contribution that serves American ideals, or is the intent to tell a version of history that never existed, to intimidate people struggling to embrace those ideals?
In a diverse and rich culture, there really isn’t a good test of who we should commemorate in our public square, but let’s ask why we want to honor them. Are we preserving and celebrating American ideals or are we seeking to serve a less altruistic agenda? The leaders of the Confederacy are the easy ones. The rest aren’t so easy.

IFIC Bank holds Annual Managers’ Conference
International Finance Inv- estment and Commerce (IFIC) Bank Limited held its Annual Managers’ Conference 2011 yesterday to formulate its strategic plan for the year.
“You have to devise a well planned strategy for better performance as the global banking sector has been in downturn and under the grip of recession,” IFIC Bank Chairman Salman F Rahman told the bank officials in Dhaka yesterday.
“We’ve to face another challenge stemming from the central bank’s contractionary monetary policy,” he said.
He also criticised the bank’s mediocre performance in recent years.
“Reputation of a bank depends largely on its manpower and the leadership. But, leadership doesn’t always come from the top,” he opined.
In his introductory speech, M Abdullah, managing director of IFIC Bank, said the banking sector has recently been gripped by liquidity crisis which has also shot up the call money rate to as much as 190 per cent.
“We gathered here to formulate a strategic plan for making an adjustment between the monetary policy and the market reality,” he told the branch managers from across the country.
The bank stood 12th among the private sector banks last year in terms of performance.

Nearly half of small businesses in the US do not use cloud storage. So why do so many small businesses refuse to use the cloud?
Cloud thought leaders posit that this fear arises from concerns about security lapses, privacy, and proper compliance implementation. Other explanations include lack of awareness about how to use the cloud, a dearth of knowledge about how to leverage cloud storage capabilities, and the idea that the cloud is for enterprises only.
However, despite these concerns, over half of small businesses in the US do use cloud storage. Small businesses that choose to use the cloud benefit from enhanced collaboration, improved accessibility, and an efficient, cost-effective way to back up files.
People fear what they do not understand. Especially in the small business community, there is a lot of confusion about what the cloud is and what it does. However, these misconceptions actually have reasonable explanations.
Can you blame businesses for being afraid of security breaches? After the high-profile leak of private celebrity photos in August 2014, it was impossible to watch the news without a reporter calling into question cloud security. However, contrary to these warnings, using cloud storage is actually more secure than using onsite equipment.
Think about it: for small businesses, protecting data is often a secondary concern to accomplishing the primary business goal. But, for a cloud storage provider, keeping data secure is what they do. From greater access to refined tech experts, to enhanced encryption protocols, to physical security measures, like surveillance cameras and biometric locks, cloud storage services provide a very high level of security.
Additionally, security entails more than just protection from hacking. If a business only uses onsite servers, all it takes is one disaster to destroy everything. Cloud storage enables the restoration of data, even if the entire office is destroyed.
The enterprise-only mindset
Some businesses believe that the economics of the cloud only work for large enterprises. However, on-site data storage equipment is expensive for small businesses, and the cloud allows them to cut these costs.
Lack of knowledge and awareness
Many businesses are not aware that the cloud, when used correctly, does not represent a compliance risk but rather a cost-effective way to store data. Therefore, many small businesses choose not to use cloud storage due to lack of knowledge and awareness about the cloud’s benefits and how to implement the platform properly.In particular, there are a lot of false rumours about the cloud and liability.
“Whether you put [your data] in the cloud or in the trunk of your car, it’s your responsibility,” saidFrançoise Gilbert, managing director ofIT Law Group. In other words, a business is responsible for its data, whether it is stored on the cloud or not.
Overcoming small business fear of the cloud
With over half of small businesses using cloud storage successfully, it has become increasingly difficult to ignore the benefits it provides, regardless of company size.
For example, Trees for the Future uses cloud storage capabilities to track data points, specifically the amount of trees planted, where, and when. This ability to track and analyse data helps the non-profit determine its next steps and improve tree survival rate, both of which bolster the company’s mission.
Other benefits of small business cloud storage usage include collaboration, accessibility, and the reduced cost of storing and backing up information.
First, cloud storage allows employees to share and edit files easily from both computers and mobile devices, regardless of location. Cloud storage as a tool for collaboration facilitates communication among team members, which in turn improves project efficiency.
Second, cloud storage enables employees to access files from computers and mobile devices, in the office, at home, or on the bus. This improved accessibility means that employees can stay on task, even if they cannot make it to the office.
Third, cloud storage reduces the cost of storing and backing up information. On-site servers cost thousands of dollars upfront and even more over time. However, when using a cloud storage service, someone else covers these expenses. In return, the business pays a much more manageable monthly access fee.
Have no fear
Despite small businesses’ concerns about migrating to the cloud, the benefits outweigh the fears. Cloud-phobic businesses are missing out on these benefits by not learning about the cloud and how to implement it.

Innovative thoughts! A nice approach to help out many businesses.

Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt has quite a name when it comes to her long list of ex-boyfriends. When the news of Hewitt’s wedding came out in 2013, a lot of fans became happy to know that she found her prince charming. Well, her marriage of 2013 is still going strong as there are no split rumors.
Hewitt is not just an actress, but also a singer, writer, producer, and director. She tied the knot with her beau Brian Hallisay. Although her current married life is going well, her love life appears a little bumpy until she got married.
Find out more about their love affairs and relationships here in Frostsnow.
Hewitt met her spouse, Hallisay, for the first time in March 2012 on the sets of ‘The Client List.' They began dating soon after that. They took their love affair to another level after they got engaged in June 2013.

Their engagement news didn’t come alone as it also had Hewitt's pregnancy news attached to it. Just before giving birth to their daughter Autumn, who was born in November, they exchanged the vows in late 2013.

The adorable pair announced that they were expecting their second child in January 2015. Eventually, in June, Hewitt gave birth to an angelic son. They named him Atticus.
Before the arrival of Hallisay in her life, Hewitt had several love affairs. The list of actors she dated is quite long. From 1995 to 1996, her name was linked with Joey Lawrence.
Watch Jennifer Love Hewitt's boyfriend:
After that, she dated two stars the following year, Will Friedle and Andrew Keegan. Besides, she also dated Carson Daly, Jason, Aaron Baca, Diego Serrano, Rich Cronin, Enrique Iglesias, Patrick Wilson, Ethan Zohn, John Mayer.

She was also engaged to Ross McCall in 2007. However, the engagement couldn’t last more than a year. They separated in 2008, but the reason behind their split wasn’t revealed.
Hewitt had many boyfriends in the past from 1995 to 2012 until she finally found the love of her life in 2012, Brian Hallisay. It's similar to what people say; love finds its way. We hope Hewitt’s relationship with her current husband won’t turn out like her past affairs. Since they have no divorce hints till date, we hope they won’t have any in the coming days as well.

Blaine Thomas Taypotat was to face a sentencing hearing Monday in the death of Justin Knackstedt.
But the defence requested that Taypotat be allowed to participate in a restorative justice process first.
The approach is more in line with traditional aboriginal justice, focuses on healing for victims and offenders and often leads to reduced or no jail time.
Knackstedt, who was 23, was a conservation officer and was run over after he stopped to help following a crash near Saskatoon in May 2013.
Taypotat pleaded guilty in December to manslaughter and impaired driving causing death.
The new sentencing date is April 8.

Marine Well Containment Company (MWCC) announced today that Mobile, Ala. has been selected as the shorebase location to house the well containment company’s subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlines (SURF) equipment.
MWCC’s SURF equipment is an integral part of the company’s expanded containment system (ECS) that will enhance the company’s well containment capabilities in the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico. MWCC will utilize the facilities and services of Technip USA and Core Industries to store, maintain and test the equipment.
Technip USA, a leader in subsea project management, engineering and construction for the energy industry, and Core Industries, a multi-faceted firm with vast industry knowledge and close proximity to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, are well equipped to provide MWCC’s required services. MWCC is confident in its decision to partner with these companies as together they offer significant storage, maintenance, testing and deployment capabilities, as well as expertise, which are essential to achieving MWCC’s mission.
“Should our SURF equipment be needed to respond to a well control incident in the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico, we know that we have the right support in place to respond safely and effectively,” said MWCC CEO, Marty Massey. “MWCC is committed to serving the U.S. Gulf and is proud to be a part of the Mobile community.”
The selection of Mobile for its SURF shorebase also allowed MWCC to tap into the skilled and industry-experienced workforce of Alabama to achieve its mission to be continuously ready to respond to a deepwater well control incident in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The company will soon be transporting all of its SURF equipment to the Mobile shorebase where it will be properly stored and maintained at all times.
MWCC’s expanded system is scheduled for delivery starting later this year, and will further advance the company’s deepwater well containment technology and capabilities. The ECS will be able to cap and flow a well in up to 10,000 feet and will have the capacity to contain up to 100,000 barrels of liquid per day.


SGC Awards Grants to Boost Smarter Urban Planning in CA Cities
1:22 PM PDT on June 11, 2014
The Strategic Growth Council, a state committee made up of representatives from six California agencies, awarded over $40 million in planning grants last week for projects large and small that are aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
One of the grants went to the Los Angeles City Planning Department to help quantify the GHG emission reductions brought by infill housing development as a strategy to help meet the state's climate targets set under A.B. 32. The $491,770 grant will allow planners to develop ways to measure the reductions in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) from affordable housing and infill development near transit, and to quantify the trip reduction benefits of transportation demand management measures. Ultimately, the goal is to develop a VMT-based metric that can be used to satisfy California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements.
Other grants were awarded to L.A. Metro and the L.A. County Department of Regional Planning, as well as numerous other cities and counties throughout the state.
The grants were divided into two streams: the Sustainable Communities Planning Grant and Incentives Program, which awarded $16 million to 33 projects, and the Urban Greening Grant Program, which awarded $24 million to 40 proposals. A list of this year's planning grants appears after the jump.
The Sustainable Communities Planning Grants fund plans to build infill development and efficient transportation, local climate plans, and zoning plans for transit-oriented development and renewable energy, among others.
The Urban Greening Grant Program awarded funds to shovel-ready projects that create and develop parks and greenways, reduce runoff by creating bioswales and converting pavement to permeable surfaces, restore habitat, plant trees, and similar projects.
This is the third round of grants awarded through this program, which is funded by Prop 84, the Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coastal Protection Bond Act passed in 2006.
“The first two rounds recognized the dearth of planning funds in general due to the recession. Planning departments were losing capacity at a time when it would have been a great time to plan for new infill development that could reduce water use,” said Mike McCoy of the SGC. “This third round is the first time we've granted funds since we adopted the regional Sustainable Communities Strategies (SCS).”
Sustainable Communities Strategies are regional plans required under S.B. 375, the Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008, which mandated that each region develop a strategy to reach local GHG reduction targets, largely with better land use and transportation planning. “We want projects to be focused on transit use, compact growth, and GHG reductions," said McCoy. "In this round we saw more of what we hope will become widespread local support of statewide sustainable communities planning.”
Many of the projects that receive planning grants through this program are being used as matching funds to leverage additional grants, increasing the program's influence on development. “Our goal is five to one,” said McCoy, “meaning for each dollar we grant there are five more available to projects from other funders. We're working collaboratively with other agencies and even for-profit developers. There is profit to be made with these projects, but some of them still need incentives, especially in places where the market is soft and banks demand higher interest rates.”
In the future, these grants will likely be funded by the state's cap-and-trade program, for which legislators in Sacramento are currently negotiating a spending plan.
Here's a list of the Sustainable Communities Planning Grants awarded in round three. More details can be found on SCG's website.

Milton Avery, in full Milton Clark Avery, (born March 7, 1893, Altmar, New York, U.S.—died January 3, 1965, New York City), painter noted in his later years for depicting the human figure as a contoured flat pattern in vivid colours. In 1905 his family moved to Hartford, Connecticut, where he studied briefly (1913) at the League of Art Students, but he was largely self-taught. He presented his first one-man show in New York City in 1928.
Avery painted many landscapes, particularly seashores; his daughter, March, was a frequent subject. His treatment of these themes is reminiscent of the French painter Henri Matisse in the use of colour, elimination of detail, and depiction of the figure and landscape as interwoven flat shapes.

Comedian Dave Chappelle on Tuesday endorsed Andrew Yang’s bid for president, announcing that he will perform two shows in support of the former tech executive.
“I’m Yang Gang!” the Emmy and Grammy Award-winning comedian said, according to a campaign press release.
The two shows will be performed on Jan. 29 and 30 in South Carolina, the first southern state to hold a presidential primary.
“Thank you [Dave Chappelle] and welcome to the #yanggang,” the candidate tweeted in reaction to the news. “You are the best. Let’s do this for our kids.”
Chappelle’s endorsement follows a bevy of star-studded support for the Yang campaign. Most notably, musician and actor Donald Glover—otherwise known as Childish Gambino—hosted a pop-up store for the Yang campaign in Los Angeles last month.
The store sold exclusive Yang merchandise designed by Glover’s team, including $1,000 sweatshirts signed by both Yang and Glover—the amount of Yang’s proposed universal basic income, dubbed the “Freedom Dividend.” Glover later joined the campaign as a creative consultant.
Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk stated that he’s supporting Yang in August last year. The candidate himself has tweeted that Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, Weezer member Rivers Cuomo, and actors Nicolas Cage and Noah Centineo have all donated to his 2020 run.
“More people join the #YangGang all the time,” he wrote at the time.

- Status : FABRICATED
Some people report that :
“The scholars of my nation are like the Prophets of the Children of Israel”
A Shaykh in his jamaa’ah is like a Nabi in his Ummah
There is a consensus among the ‘ulama themselves that the Prophets are superior to all other people from among the children of Adam, and that there is no one equal to them in excellence even the ‘ulama.
Thus one finds that the following big ‘ulama themselves viz hafiz Ibn Hajr Al-‘Asqalani, ‘Allamah Sakhawi, al-Zarkashi, Mulla ‘Ali Qari (RA) clearly all stated this one to be fabricated. (al-fawa’id al-majmu’ah)
One must revere past and present ‘ulama, but certainly not by lying on the Prophet ﷺ.

What is a combo?
A jazz combo is a small group,
usually between 3 and 7 people. It can be any combination of
musicians, but always has a drummer ans usually a bass player. It is a group that plays a head, and
then each person can take a solo. The head is the melody that everyone knows. For example, Dave
Farrell and I have written a simple blues called Hot Potato. Below, you will see the head.
This is the melody. The form is what we call standard blues. After you play the head, you would
play an improvised solo.
Improvisation is part of the true jazz experience. When you improv,
you spontaneously put forth
the creative ideas in your head into music. It involves lots of practice and you have to know what
chords to solo over. Below is a standard blues. To start with improvisation, you can use the blues
scales to solo.
Bb Instruments use this blues scale: C, Eb, F, F#, G, Bb, C
C Instruments use this blues scale: Bb, Db, Eb, E, F, Ab, Bb
The blues scale only works over songs that are in the standard blues
form. Most combo tunes aren't
however. To learn about soloing over chords, talk to a jazz instructor. The best way to learn about
jazz and develop ideas for soloing is through listening. Therefore, I highly suggest you visit our sound
You can use any of these notes to play solos over a standard blues form.

Urgent warning: Shipibo communities in the Peruvian Amazon asked to hand over land title documents to projects promoting 'environmental services, carbon market and REDD'.
AIDESEP, 20th July 2011. AIDESEP has revealed that the recently established Peruvian NGO "Alliance for the Capture of Carbon as a Solution to Climate Change" has proposed 10 year 'agreements' with various Shipibo indigenous communities. The agreements focus on the potential for 'environmental services, REDD and carbon deals' and are offering '$100 per hectare and thousands of dollars each year' to these communities. In an alarming turn the communities are being asked to sign these agreements and hand over their land title papers to the NGO.
