Deadline: 1 June 2015
Instructor: Kirill Boychenko
Decreasing opportunities for legal migration and increasing economic and security complications in countries of origin often force people to migrate irregularly. They often end up being victims of exploitation for labour or sex. The high demand for low skilled/low cost labour in the global north (coupled with well established informal labour practices in destination and transit countries) and bad information about legal migration channels finish the equation that benefit smuggling and trafficking networks.
This e-learning course analyses the concepts of human trafficking and migrant smuggling while discussing various practical cases from around the globe. It focuses on existing policies and practices of prevention and prosecution, such as victim identification, national/trans-national referral mechanisms, or regularisation programmes, to combat these crimes and to protect and address the needs of victims. It also addresses the links between trafficking, smuggling, labour migration and forced migration.
This certificate course involves approximately 30 hours of reading, on-line working groups, interaction with students and the instructor, quizzes, a writing assignment, and webinars and is offered over a six-week period. The course is based on a participatory, active learning approach, with an emphasis on peer-to-peer learning. The maximum number of course participants is 25. Students who successfully complete the course will receive a Certificate of Participation. It is also possible to audit the course.
Week 1: Introduction to human trafficking and migrant smuggling
Week 2: The 2000 UN Convention on Transnational Organized Crime and its additional “Palermo Protocols”: legal and policy aspects around trafficking and smuggling
Week 3: Victim identification and assistance
Week 4: National and trans-national referral mechanisms: Standard Operating Procedures
Week 5: Current practices in combating and addressing human trafficking and smuggling
Week 6: Developing and monitoring national strategies and action plans on human trafficking and smuggling

GPG ‘decrease’ – but how slow, and age remains crucial
The ONS has produced its latest stats on the gender pay gap – and they don’t make pretty reading. For readers not already aware there is a big difference between the ‘headline’ figure, which refers only to full-time employees, and the overall figure which includes part-timers. The fact that the former is treated as the ‘main’ figure is significant: it both reflects, and itself confirms, the lower status of part-timers. The GPG is almost twice as high for ‘all employees’ as it is for full-timers.
In any case, there was no progress last year. As the ONS puts it:
In 2023, the gap among full-time employees increased to 7.7%, up from 7.6% in 2022. This is still below the gap of 9.0% before the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in 2019. Among all employees, the gender pay gap decreased to 14.3% in 2023, from 14.4% in 2022.
Let’s make the basic Paula Principle contrast: between the male/female pay/careers gap, which is closing only slowly if all; and the female/male competence gap, which continues to increase. So here are recent graduation rates:
But as before I want to emphasise the need for a full career perspective. The gap grows very markedly with age:
for the age group for those aged 40 to 49 years and older, the gender pay gap for full-time employees is much higher, at 10.3% or higher. The gender pay gap increased across all age groups between 2022 and 2023, except for those aged 18 to 21 years where it decreased from 1.1% to negative 0.2%. The largest increase was seen among employees aged 30 to 39 years, where the gender pay gap increased from 2.3% to 4.7%. This is the highest value of the gender pay gap for this age group since 2009.
The female/male competence gap is smaller for the older age groups, but the male/female career gap is so very evident.

If you think New York packs in a lot of bars today, imagine what it was like in the 1920s.
During Prohibition, 32,000 speakeasies were operating in New York City, twice the number of legal saloons that existed in 1920.
Cousins Jack Kriendler and Charles E. Berns ran one of them: a little basement space called the Red Head, opened in 1923 off Fourth Street in Greenwich Village, then under the dark and grimy Sixth Avenue El.
“The Volstead Act had gone into effect in January 1920, so the illegal club in a tea room was an immediate hit,” states Dorothyparker.com.
After it was gutted by a fire, “the pair moved their speakeasy to a basement at 88 Washington Place at the height of the bootlegging, Jazz Age New York.
“Called the Fronton, it was now a real speakeasy, complete with live music and huge tables.”
Club Fronton had a Spanish theme and catered to artists and writers, such as Edna St. Vincent Millay (below) and Dorothy Parker (above), plus nightlife-loving politicians like Mayor Jimmy Walker.
Police raids didn’t close the Fronton down—eminent domain did. After a year, the property was condemned by the city so the West Fourth Street subway station could be built.
Kriendler and Berns moved to midtown this time. In 1928, they set up a speakeasy at 21 West 52nd Street. The 21 Club was an instant success—and 80 years after Prohibition, still packs them in.

What if one simple choice could unlock your destiny?
Already a major Japanese best seller, this eye-opening and accessible follow-up to the “compelling” (Marc Andreessen) international phenomenon The Courage to Be Disliked shares the powerful teachings of Alfred Adler, one of the giants of 19th-century psychology, through another illuminating dialogue between the philosopher and the young man.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recent declaration that Russia had annexed four eastern and southern Ukraine regions has caused concern that the threat of nuclear war is closer than ever.
In a speech on Friday, Sept. 30, Putin said the Kremlin would incorporate the Ukrainian regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.
“I want the Kyiv authorities and their real masters in the West to hear me so that they remember this. People living in Luhansk and Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia are becoming our citizens. Forever,” Putin said in the speech, according to The Washington Post.
Robert Baer, a former CIA officer and intelligence and security analyst for CNN, said people shouldn’t take Putin’s threats lightly – mainly since he is doing all he can to save face.
“I think the chances of his de-escalating are close to zero. He simply cannot give up so much ground and be seen to be losing and continue as the leader of Russia,” Baer said. “He’s a strong man. He’s portrayed himself that for the last 20 years. He doesn’t give in to dissent. He is completely cornered, and like a shark, he’s got to move forward. … I don’t see him caving in at all.”
“The chances of his using nuclear weapons, at least tactical nuclear weapons, is going up by the day. The Russians that I keep in touch with in Russia are convinced he’s going to go nuclear,” Baer said. “It was a threat initially but the more trouble he’s in the more likely he’s going to use nuclear weapons and I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t actually use a tac against the Ukrainian forces.”
Baer isn’t the only one who holds that opinion, notably after Putin doubled down on his warning to use “all available means” to defend what he considers Russian territory.
“We’re in a situation in which superiority in resources and conventional weaponry is on the side of the West,” Vasily Kashin, who specializes in military and political issues at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow, told the New York Times. “Russia’s power is based on its nuclear arsenal.”
Putin ally and Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov encouraged the Kremlin to use that power.
“Use every opportunity and every weapon to defend OUR territory. Donetsk is still being shelled. Residents of the joined 4 territories want to be protected,” Kadyrov recently said, according to the National Review.

Singer and rapper Joey B has confessed his love for legendary highlife singer, Ofori Amponsah in a conversation with Andy Dosty on Hitz FM in Accra.
The singer real name Darryl Paa Kwesi Bannerman-Martin mentioned in the conversation Zionfelix.net monitored that he has been borrowing lines of Ofori Amponsah‘s old hit songs because of the love he has for Mr. All4Real’s music. The ‘Tonga’ hitmaker added that he samples his mentor’s songs because he thinks it is the right way of honouring the musician he has always loved.
Joey B further revealed that he was starstruck when he first met Ofori Amponsah real name Samuel Ofori Amponsah years back. The 28-year-old hip-hop artiste disclosed that he was never fascinated when he first met American rapper and businessman, Shawn Corey Carter, known professionally as Jay-Z at Roc Nation in the USA after a show but the feeling was different when he had an encounter with the ‘Emmanuella’ hitmaker sometime past.
Joey B referred to Ofori Amponsah as his idol he never plays with because of his good works in the past.
“He (Ofori Amponsah) is my idol. I had a show in New York and after it, we visited Roc Nation where Jay Z and I was never starstruck. I’ve seen a lot of celebrities but I was never starstruck but when I met Ofori Amponsah, I was fascinated. He tweeted at me in 2015 telling me he is proud of me on how I used Otolege and I was extremely proud of myself because of his praises.” he said.

VentMy thoughts -Vent by SilviaMarti
a tangle of anger and resentment
that's clutching my throat
choking my breath,
giving me the illusion of dying,
overwhelmed by anxiety
SfogoI miei pensieri —Sfogo by SilviaMarti
un groviglio di rabbia e rancore
che mi stringe la gola
soffocando il respiro,
dandomi l'illusione di morire,
WordsThe words — those beautiful wordsWords by SilviaMarti
I chased in these years, without concluding anything
crying, suffering when
they didn’t come to paint my fantasy
with the colors of the Snow, and the Desert
they returned to flow inside me
and here's that those sharp,
painful wings of bones
arrive to pierce my back,
inflicting me that sweet agony
I've waited so long...
What Part Of The Military Would You Be In?

Providing a washroom at work is a legal requirement that employers simply have to provide, but until now this is has been one place where any sort of revenue stream would seem to be wrong. However, this is the age of innovation and it seems while charging employees and visitors to use the loo is a no, there are ways of making these facilities pay for themselves.
This is the AdDryer from Savortex, it looks and performs like a regular hand dryer, but with one exception, it comes with a display. This is where the revenue comes in as it is ideal for showing short adverts for the duration of the warm air cycle.
Built on Intel® technology, the adDryer uses the Internet of Things (IoT) to deliver energy and waste savings, alerts cleaners to washroom needs based on actual footfall, and engages users with real time and one-to-one, high-definition video messages. Enterprises can use real data to push content and drive additional revenue streams. It’s the game changer! Transform wasteful and costly washrooms into connected, hygienic, and sustainable revenue-producing assets
This is an interesting idea for the washroom, it shows that no matter where you go there is no escaping the long arm of the advertising people! It could be a very valuable piece of advertising space for marketing, or it could be used for providing the employee with the latest company news. You see, we are already thinking about the AdDryer as a key information point.

Pare Corporation was retained by the Warwick Sewer Authority (WSA) to complete the design of improvements to the levee surrounding the City’s Wastewater Treatment Plant. The need for the project became apparent when the structure was overtopped by the Pawtuxet River during the flooding event of March 2010. The WSA, in agreement with FEMA, determined that the levee should be raised to accommodate a 500-year flood event.
Pare designed an alignment that integrated with the original structure, did not impact adjacent wetlands, worked around the existing yard and facility structures, and tied into the adjacent I-95 highway embankment. The final design included full-depth reconstruction to repair a section of the original levee damaged during previous activities at the facility (Phase 1), construction of a new section of levee between the facility access road and Interstate 95 (Phase II), and raising the levee 5.5 feet to the 500-year flood elevation using zoned embankment construction and augmented slope protection (Phase III).
Pare prepared three bid packages and provided full-time construction administration to assist the WSA in reviewing submittals, monitoring schedules and progress, monitoring quality of the work, and compliance with the project intent. Pare also provided full-time resident engineering and conducted regular project meetings.

Edibles Trend Reaches New Heights
In case you ever doubted the popularity of the much-buzzed-about edibles trend, the White House has just made it official: Last week, First Lady Michelle Obama broke ground on a new vegetable garden near the fountain on the South Lawn, which will supply the White House kitchen, MSNBC reported last week.
The garden will be the first White House garden since the Victory Gardens planted by Eleanor Roosevelt.
The vegetable garden will not only be used for meals, but also as an educational tool to teach children about local growing and sustainability.
Plants will include cilantro; tomatillos; hot peppers; and red romaine, green oak-leaf butterhead, red-leaf, arugula and galactic lettuces. There will be also be spinach, chard, collards, black kale and a patch of berries. Herbs will include some more unusual varieties, such as anise hyssop and Thai basil.
California chef Alice Waters, considered a leader in the movement to encourage consumption of locally grown, organic food, has long dreamed of such a White House garden and has been lobbying for it since 1992, according to the news report. She has been advocating “change through the taste buds since the 1960s.”
Waters organized a series of fundraising dinners in Washington before Barack Obama’s inauguration in January that served food purchased from local producers at an area farmer’s market to show how it can be done.
The new garden is symbolic of a changing mindset in the country.
“It just tells you that this country cares about people’s good health and about the care of the land,” she said. “To have this sort of ‘victory’ garden, this message goes out that everyone can grow a garden and have free food.”
Victory gardens were planted during the world wars with encouragement from the government to make sure there was enough food for civilians and the troops. Recent White Houses have grown some herbs and have practiced limited container gardening on the mansion’s roof to supply it with tomatoes, peppers and other vegetables.
How will the heightened visibility of the edibles trend impact your vegetable and herbs sales? The spring season will soon tell!

He was born Faheem Rasheed Najm, but is best known as T-Pain. He was brought up in a Muslim household, but he has expressed his lack of interest in the concept of religion.

At age ten, Pain turned his bedroom into a music studio, using a keyboard, a beat machine, and a four-track recorder.

Current Thermal Infra Red (7.14μm) multispectral imager instruments use cryogenically cooled Mercury Cadmium Telluride (MCT or HgCdTe) detectors. Now due to the increased performance of uncooled microbolometer arrays, the next generation of instruments can be designed without cryogenic cooling. TNO TPD has designed a spectrometer called the Micro Bolometer Spectrometer (MIBS), that is able to provide co-registered images in the 7 to 14 μm wavelength region with an acceptable NETD performance on the basis of currently available detectors. Apart from space based multispectral imaging, the concept can also be used for several other applications, for example, CO2 monitoring through the broader spectral response. The removal of the standard highpass filter of the bolometer detector allows imaging in both the 3 to 5 and 7 to 14 μm atmospheric windows at the same time in a co-registered fashion. Applications include forest fire detection, military reconnaissance and, wideband flame analysis (NOx detection in industrial ovens).

Local composer creates virtual summer music camp
As Benjamin Dean Taylor, an Indiana University alum, Bloomington resident and concert band composer, was working on a piece for the Greater Indianapolis Youth Orchestra, he had a hard time because he knew they wouldn’t be able to play it in person.
Then he had a shift in thought. He decided to write the piece for online performance, realizing things that can’t be done in a concert hall can be done virtually.
“I can involve some other things like costumes and lighting and cinematography directions and have it be almost like a music video, but for orchestra,” Taylor said. “And that’s when it got really fun.”
That moment sparked another idea for Taylor, which he developed as summer music camps across the country were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Taylor assembled a team of musicians and composers to create an online summer music camp, the Music Creators Academy, for middle schoolers and high schoolers across North America.
“Musically it’s not as ideal as in person, and so if we can flip the paradigm, though, and say, well, what can we do in the virtual space that we can’t do in a live space? That’s what we’re exploring with this academy,” Taylor said.
Each student will be part of a large ensemble to workshop and premiere a piece written by one of the mentor composers, a small ensemble to rehearse and perform works by students, and small home groups for optional games and social activities. Two-hour private composition lessons will be optional.
“Let’s give these kids a chance to make some music,” Taylor said. “It’s not in the space that they’re traditionally making music in. Instead, it’s a virtual space, but we can still have the same connection, the same shared music making, the same social connections.”
The camp will take place July 20-31, with live sessions happening via Zoom 11 a.m.-noon and 2-4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Registration is open at musiccreatorsacademy.com and runs through June 30. The base cost is $450, but some financial aid is available and more information can be found by emailing email@example.com. A final concert will be 2-4 p.m. July 31.
During the camp, students will be mentored by composers such as Brian Balmages, Steven Bryant, Viet Cuong, Tyler Grant, Garrett Hope, Cait Nishimura, Benjamin Taylor, Alex Shapiro, Joseph Sowa and Haley Woodrow. Students will perform and record.
Taylor said being able to bring those composers together is an advantage of the circumstances. He said there would be no way he could align all of their schedules to do a camp like this, but since it’s taking place virtually, he’s able to, and it eliminates travel costs.
Taylor said everyone has experienced loss due to COVID-19 in some form or another, such as the loss of a loved one, loss of a job or loss of social connections, but music brings people together.
“Our hope is that we can come together and heal through music making,” Taylor said. “That will be part of this academy. It’s not like we’re going to ignore the fact that we’re all still even in the midst of a pandemic. Life is not back to normal yet, so let’s talk and let’s have a safe place where we’re getting to know each other on a deeper level.”

If you are reading this in 2020 you will know exactly why we are Composing at Home. But if you are reading this in 2120 then firstly, I am pleased to meet you and also, I am wondering what you think of our music. Is there a sound coming out of 2020 that we are not even aware of yet.
The thing is, I started thinking about everyone potentially composing at home and I started to think about what it might sound like. One day, will students study the music composed in 2020 and discuss how it links to Lockdown? Will they pick out freatures that link to Composing at Home, such as a surge in solo instrumental composition?
I want to keep this thought in mind, Solo Instrumental composition. But I also want you to keep in mind that you are a composer, composing in 2020, at home, under lockdown. I think it is an inspiring thought to think that one day someone out there might study what you have composed today.
Your instrument should always be your first port of call for composition. But so often it isn’t, today we are going to change that. So you will need to go and get it out, get it ready and then journey with me through Composing at Home 1.
Here are some questions for you to think about:
- What qualities does your instrument have?
- What sounds can you make using your instrument?
- Are there any techniques that you can use – triple tonguing, glissando, Double stopping?
- Do you know the range of your instrument?
It is a good idea to get to know your instrument really well before you start composing with it. You want your piece to work well for your instrument, but also explore your instrument as much as possible. If I think of the Clarinet I think of an instrument that has the largest pitch range for modern woodwind instruments. Therefore I can explore the lower end and the upper end and everything in-between. It would be “wrong” to not give the clarinet player a good range to play.
Now that you have explored your instrument you need to start your composition. It is quite hard to just start a piece, although I think that you just need to start. So, pick a starting note and just begin to play. You might like to record what you come up with in-case you fall upon an idea. Once you have picked a starting note you will hopefully think about the key you are in and what notes you can play. This experimentation is important and will also get your warmed up. You might like to play a few things using your starting note:
- The Major Scale based on that starting note
- Now try the Minor Scale based on that note
- How about you now try playing the arpeggios for the Major & Minor
- Challenge – can you play any other scales or modes that start with your chosen note.
“the action of putting things together; formation or construction”
“a thing composed of various elements”
Composing is a process, a formation or a construction. It is where we take musical bits & pieces and start to form them into something. By playing through scales, arpeggios and general ideas, you are starting to gather ideas together.
- Did you come up with anything you liked?
- How do you feel about the key you ended up in?
- Could you play comfortably in the key you landed upon?
It is important that you are working in a key, scale, mode or pattern that you are comfortable with. C Major always seems a little boring, so maybe avoid that. But also don’t write in C Sharp Major if you are no comfortable in that key. You might like to also adjust to take into account the lowest or highest potential note on your instrument!
We are now going to choose some building blocks to work with and you are then going to start composing. What you need to keep in mind is that we are just starting to form up ideas. You are not going to compose a whole piece in one go. You are certainly not going to tick all of the exam criteria in one go. Let me give you a brief:
“Compose some ideas using a set key, mode or pattern on your chosen instrument including the given building blocks”
I have chosen the term building blocks, but you can think of these as key elements of music. I think it is good to determine a few things before you start:
- Scale, Mode or Pattern
- Time Signature
Mood is important because it might help you to think of something as you play. You might find that you explore different moods, and that is okay. What you are doing is generating some ideas that are based around a few key components. You have a key/tonality, you have a tempo and you have a time signature. As you create ideas it is important that you record them. This could on a phone, laptop or tablet and of course you good write down the notation or some kind of graphic score.
The composing has begun and we are starting to give those listeners in 2120 something to get excited about! Well maybe not just yet, but we have something! Let’s think about how we can review what we have come up with so far.
- How did you get on?
- Did you come up with any ideas that you like?
- What made these ideas work?
- Have you landed on any motives or patterns?
- Are you wanting to change any of the building blocks?
These ideas are going to form your composition, so it is important that you review them and then start to refine them. Make some changes, explore what you have created and then record these new ideas.
By the end of this process you should have lots of musical ideas and these are the main ingredients for any composition. You generated them and they are perfect for your instrument. In the next part we will look at what we can do with these ideas.
Learning to compose can be tough, so I wanted to point you in the direction of a couple of great websites that you might like to visit:
These sites are aimed at students & teachers. I am sure that at this time students & teachers can benefit from the resources projects and ideas included.
And I will end by saying that the more you can listen to music for your chosen instrument the better. Every time you listen you get ideas & inspiration!
Please do signup for email updates so that you never miss a useful idea or an interesting read!

More on James Nesbitt's Outcast for Cannes 2010
Hope everyone had a lovely weekend! Over the holiday the Scotsman/Edinburgh Evening News ran a new interview with former Scottish Screener and film producer Eddie Dick, who is the force behind Outcast, starring James Nesbitt and Katie Dickie (star of Sigma Films' acclaimed Red Road, upcoming Donkeys). In the interview, he speaks to growing up in Edinburgh and gave some reasoning behind the locales chosen for the new film:"The idea of putting your own city on film appeals even if, as in this case, quite a lot of the parts on film are not the typical tourist trap parts," agrees father-of-two Eddie, 59, boss of Makar Productions and producer of Outcast. "We filmed in a lot of places that were on their way to being demolished – Greendykes and Sighthill."
The article has some great nuggets of background on the producer and the movie itself "I was attracted to doing a horror movie," says Eddie. "And there are key elements in Outcast that I like. The story emerges from working class experiences in Edinburgh – it struck me as an unusual context for a horror film."
Mary, played by Red Road star Dickie, is one of the Sidh, an ancient race with magical powers. As her son falls for their neighbour, played by local girl, Queen Margaret University drama graduate Hanna, Cathal's threat to mother and son deepens.
Of note however, is more on what we heard earlier, that Outcast may indeed be screening NEXT MAY in France at teh Cannes Film festival (if not earlier in the year at Berlin in 2010) Quotage:When the film is given its first preview showings at next year's Cannes Film Festival, the audience will see Nesbitt in the role of the sinister Cathal who turns up in Edinburgh in search of his ex-partner Mary and her teenage son.
As we know, Outcast did complete production in Ireland over the weekend. Fingers crossed all of this holds true!!! Speaking of Mr. Dick and his production company, there was a HUGELY interesting (at least to me!) piece of info on a film they have in development called CHILD OF AIR...where apparently a trailer was filmed last fall, and teh movie is to star JAMIE SIVES AND KATE DICKIE!!!!! I absolutely could not believe my eyes, I swear someone is having a laugh on me, cause this would be too good to be true!!! However if the funding is arranged and its not a cruel joke, then omg, I lack the vocabulary at the moment to describe how thrilled I would be to see my two favorite actors starring together in one film...just just woah! BTW recommend another Makar production, called True North, which stars Martin Compston and the always on note Peter Mullan and Gary Lewis (Ithink too Mr Lewis is all over the VR trailer)

Anti Aging Treatment: Find the Best, Types of Aging Skin Conditions!
If you are someone who suffers from an aging skin condition, such as wrinkles, cellulite, or sagging skin, then you know that finding the right treatment can be difficult. There are so many products on the market that it can be hard to decide which one is right for you.
In this blog post, we will compare the different treatments options available and help you determine which one is best for you. So, whether you are looking for a new treatment or just want to learn more about your options, keep reading!
Skin Tightening Treatments
What are the options for tightening loose, sagging skin?
There are several non-invasive options for tightening loose skin, including radiofrequency treatments, laser therapy, and ultrasound. Radiofrequency treatments use targeted energy to heat the deeper layers of skin, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. This helps to tighten skin and soften wrinkles. Laser therapy uses targeted light pulses to tighten skin by heating the underlying tissue. Ultrasound treatments use sound waves to generate heat under the skin, resulting in skin tightening and lift. These options are ideal for those looking to tighten skin on the face, neck, abdomen or arms without surgery.
Which treatment provides the longest-lasting results?
Of the non-invasive options, radiofrequency treatments typically provide the longest-lasting results for skin tightening and wrinkle reduction. Because radiofrequency energy penetrates deeply into the skin to stimulate collagen production, the effects tend to last 6-24 months, and sometimes longer. Multiple treatments are often required to achieve optimal results, but radiofrequency can provide natural-looking tightening and rejuvenation over the long run. Laser therapy and ultrasound also provide good results, but may require more frequent follow-up treatments to maintain benefits.
Radiofrequency is considered the gold standard for non-invasive skin tightening because it produces the most significant, longest-lasting results with minimal risks or side effects. It is a very targeted treatment that works deep within the skin, stimulating new collagen production and tissue restructuring over time. Radiofrequency can lift and contour the face as well as tighten loose skin on the neck, abdomen, thighs and other areas. While radiofrequency may require several treatment sessions to achieve optimal results, the outcomes tend to look very natural and last up to two years or longer.
Of all the options, surgical facelifts tend to provide the most dramatic, longest-lasting results. However, surgery also comes with higher costs, risks, and a longer recovery. For those looking for a non-invasive solution to tighten skin and achieve a refreshed, natural look, radiofrequency treatments are considered the top option due to their significant, longer-lasting results and minimal risks compared to other alternatives. With the latest radiofrequency technologies, multiple sessions, and proper aftercare, people can successfully tighten loose skin for a younger, firmer appearance.
What is wrinkle and what are the causes?
A wrinkle is a fold, ridge or crease in the skin caused by a variety of factors, including sun damage, smoking and dehydration. The loss of elasticity in the skin is the main cause of wrinkles, as it decreases the skin's ability to snap back into place after being stretched. When we are young, our skin contains high levels of collagen and elastin, which give it firmness and elasticity. However, as we age, these levels decrease, causing the skin to become thinner, drier and less able to repair itself. Additionally, exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light speeds up the aging process by breaking down collagen and elastin fibers. Wrinkles can also be caused by repetitive facial expressions, such as squinting or frowning. When these expressions are repeated over time, they cause the formation of fine lines and deeper wrinkles. Prevention is the best way to reduce the risk of wrinkles, so it is important to wear sunscreen and avoid smoking. A healthy diet and plenty of water will also help to keep your skin hydrated and less likely to develop wrinkles.
How can you reduce wrinkle successfully without damaging your skin further?
Radio frequency device has been shown to be an effective way to reduce wrinkles without damaging the skin further. This treatment works by heating the skin, which stimulates collagen production. Collagen is a protein that helps to keep the skin strong and elastic. As we age, our bodies produce less collagen, which can lead to wrinkles and sagging skin. Radio frequency treatments can help to boost collagen production, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin. Radio frequency treatments are safe for all skin types and can be performed on both the face and body. Radio frequency treatments are typically done in a series of sessions spaced out over several weeks or months.
What is cellulite and what are the symptoms of this condition?
Cellulite is a condition that affects the appearance of the skin, causing it to have a dimpled or "orange peel" appearance. Although it can occur in both men and women, it is more common in women due to the differently distributed fat deposits in men and women. Cellulite typically appears on the buttocks and thighs, but can also be found on the face, arms, stomach, and back. The cause of cellulite is not fully understood, but it is thought to be related to the connective tissue beneath the skin, as well as the amount and distribution of fat in the body. There is no cure for cellulite, but there are treatments that can help to improve the appearance of affected areas. These include radio frequency, massage, creams, and surgery.
Which product works best for treating the appearance of cellulite?
The appearance of cellulite can be a source of frustration for many people. While there is no magic cure, there are a number of products and treatments that can help to reduce the appearance of dimples and bumps. One popular option is AMIRO R1 Pro radio frequency device, which uses heat to break down fatty deposits and stimulate collagen production. This can result in smoother, firmer skin. Other options include retinol creams, body wraps, and dry brushing. By trying a few different methods, you can find the approach that works best for you and help to improve the appearance of your skin.
What is sagging skin and how does it form on the skin surface?
Sagging skin is a condition where the skin appears loose or droopy. It can occur on any part of the body, but is most common on the face, neck, and arms. Sagging skin is caused by a loss of collagen and elastin, which are proteins that give the skin its firmness and elasticity.
This can be due to aging, sun damage, smoking, or weight gain. There are several ways to treat sagging skin, including topical creams, laser treatments, and surgery. In most cases, sagging skin can be significantly improve with simple lifestyle changes, such as staying out of the sun and quitting smoking. By taking these steps, you can help to prevent sagging skin from forming in the first place.
Which treatments work best for sagging skin, and which should be avoided at all costs?
When it comes to sagging skin, there are a number of potential treatments available. However, not all of them are equally effective. Radio frequency, for example, is a popular choice for many people. This treatment uses radio waves to cause the deep layers of skin to heat up, stimulating collagen production and resulting in firmer, healthier-looking skin.
We recommend the best radio frequency device AMIRO S1 Golden Dot Matrix. Another option is dermal fillers. These injectable treatments can help to plump up the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. However, they can also lead to infections and other complications, so they should be used with care. Ultimately, the best treatment for sagging skin will depend on the individual's needs and preferences.

Abstract 14090: Difference of In-Stent Restenosis Pattern of Drug-Eluting Stent in Early and Late Phase Restenosis: Optical Coherence Tomography Analysis
Objectives: Difference of restenosis patterns of drug eluting stent (DES-ISR) between in early and in late phase has not fully investigated. The aim of this study is to evaluate the characteristics of DES-ISR with OCT in early and late phase.
Methods: DES-ISR cases with OCT observation in our hospital were enrolled in this study. These cases were divided into two groups according to interval from index stenting to ISR: within 12month=early phase, over 12month=late phase. The cross-sections with more than 50% stenosis and within 2mm proximal or distal of minimal lumen area were evaluated every 1mm slice The OCT signal patterns in cross-section were categorized in six patterns as previous reported: (A) homogeneous high-signal band, (B) two-layer with visible struts, (C) two-layer without visible struts, (D) heterogeneous speckled band, (E) capsular mass, or (F) massive thrombi. Difference of OCT signal patterns was compared between early and late phase.
Results: A total of 51 patients (21 cases of early phase, 30 cases of late phase) with ISR and 180 cross-sections were obtained. Average interval from stenting to ISR was 8+-2 and 39+-19 month in early and late phase. Compared to early phase cases, two-layer without visible struts pattern was more often observed in late phase (34.2% vs 2.9%, p<0.001). On the other hand, homogeneous and two-layer with visible sturuts were more often observed in early phase than late phase (21.7%vs 3.6%;p<0.001, 60.9% vs 41.4%; p=0.007, respectively) (fig).
Conclusions: This study suggested that tissue characterization was different between in early and in late phase restenosis of drug-eluting stents.

Our post earlier this week, “Non-Ag Folks Just Don’t Understand” reminded us that the general public has limited and sometimes misguided information about farming.
“Agvocacy” is needed now more than ever, and farmers have the best opportunity to speak with a credible voice on issues that impact their businesses.
In May, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), an agency that operates within the United States Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT), issued a request for public comment on proposed regulations for farmers’ use of public roads, including:
- The distinction between interstate and intrastate commerce for deciding whether operations of commercial motor vehicles within the boundaries of a single State are subject to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations
- The factors the States are using in deciding whether farm vehicle drivers transporting agricultural commodities, farm supplies and equipment as part of a crop share agreement are subject to the commercial driver’s license (CDL) regulations
- The proposed guidance to determine whether off-road farm equipment or implements of husbandry operated on public roads for limited distances are considered commercial motor vehicles
Basically, they’re seeking comments on whether or not to require tractor and agriculture equipment drivers to have a CDL to operate machinery on public roads.
To follow what’s happening with this issue, check out Russ Quinn’s blog, “A CDL to Operate Farm Equipment” on the DTN/The Progressive Farmer website, or Farm Equipment’s online article, “U.S. DOT Seeking Comment on Proposed Regs for Farmers use of Public Roads.”

The Austrian national broadcaster, ORF has today revealed their plans for their participation in the first edition of Eurovision Choir of the Year 2017. The broadcaster announced that they will broadcast the shown on ORF 2 from 22:50 CET, in a cut down 90 minute format of the contest. Competing countries are not required to broadcast the contest live due to the lack of public televote.
Commentating on the contest for ORF 2 are:
- Alexander Žigo
- Teresa Vogl – Radio host at Österreich 1
ORF internally selected Hard-Chor from Linz to represent Austria at the first edition of Eurovision Choir of the Year. The choir has previously competed in “Österreich singt”, an Austrian television format which sees Choirs from across the country competing to be named Austria’s best choir. The television show turned international in 2014, when ORF played host to “Europe Sings”.
Eurovision Choir of the Year will be held for the first time on July 22 in Riga, Latvia as part of the European Choir Games. The European Broadcasting Union has partnered with Interkultur to create this latest Eurovision family event, and both hope to see the format develop into a yearly event.
Competing in the contest are:
- Austria (ORF) – Hardchor Linz
- Belgium (RTBF) – Les Pastoreaux
- Denmark (DR) – Academic Choir of Aarhus
- Estonia (ERR) – Estonian TV Girls’ Choir
- Germany (WDR) – Jazzchor Freiburg
- Latvia (LTV) – TBD on April 29
- Slovenia (RTVSLO) – Carmen Manet
- Hungary (MTVA) – Bela Bartok Male Choir
- Wales (S4C) – Côr Merched Sir Gâr
The Choirs competing in the contest will perform once for up to 6 minutes. The performance can include one or several works, of any genre, and “should in part reflect national or regional character in some way”. A jury will be made up of prominent international musicians who will decide the winner of the contest.


text: I think it's safe to say that most TF fans frown upon kibble, as it's obviously often a product or bad design or lazyness on the designer's part. However, there are some figures that use it in creative ways, and certain designs we can't even imagine without the kibble that is now part of the character. Take the seeker design, for example. The giant plane wings are part of Starscream as much as the canopy chest. This thread is to discuss these figures in your collection that use their kibble to great effect, and that -in your opinion- would look worse without it. Some of my favorites include... Beast Wars Transmetals Scavenger: this is a very agressive looking character, and they kinda left the Ant legs there in his arms. You can pose them in a multitude of ways however, and I think they make him look pretty badass. He would look a bit dull without them. ROTF Mixmaster: He looks very cool crouching, hiding behind his shields. It's cool that they're on balljoints so you can rotate and position them however you want; you just have to be careful with the truck wheels under his arms, but even they are extremely poseable. DOTM Sentinel Prime: I don't have this figure yet, but from the reviews I've seen it's very nice how most of his backpack splits and articulates to form a robotic cape. They could just have let it hang there (like his voyager incarnation seems to) but they added proper hinges and balljoints to align the various panels and make it look elegant.

The City Press has reported that irregular advertiser discounts cost the SABC at least R1.5 billion over an 18-month period.
Nexus Forensic Services conducted a forensic investigation into the SABC’s Commercial Enterprise division and its top advertisers – which contributed most of the broadcaster’s R6.6 billion sales income over the period.
According to the report, it found that discounts provided to these advertisers were as high as 85% and totaled R1.517 billion between January 2018 and June 2019.
A minimum of 17 junior account executives and senior managers allegedly ignored a variety of rules to grant these discounts.
“These discounts and added value devalue the rate card rates and have significant impact on the revenue collected by the SABC,” stated the report.
One employee was found to be particularly negligent. This person allegedly provided confidential information to his wife, who was running an agency that advertised with the SABC.
This person then spent millions of rand on beachfront properties and about 20 vehicles, the report added.
“We recommend that the SABC consider instituting appropriate disciplinary action against the employee,” recommended the investigation findings.
Corrupt staff members
In dealing with corrupt staff, the SABC fired former Commercial Enterprise executive Tshifhiwa Mulaudzi in December 2019 on a variety of charges upon which he was found guilty – including corruption, dishonesty, and failure to act in the best interest of the SABC.
Mulaudzi was also found to have received an international trip to China as well as a job for his wife from a company with a big advertising deal with the SABC.
Mulaudzi’s lawyer denied any wrongdoing.
“The forensic investigation… by the current leadership is intended to justify underhanded tactics to get rid of professionals that have dedicated their lives to serve the organisation,” said Mulaudzi.
A source told the City Press that disciplinary hearings had also been brought against three other employees.
Massive financial impact
The SABC reported in September it had suffered a net loss of R482 million for the 2018/19 financial period. Revenue declined by 3% during this time.
“While the corporation pursued cost containment measures actively, the decline was mainly as a result of cash flow constraints,” the SABC said.
It appears that if the irregular discounts had not taken place, the SABC may have boasted a profitable financial period.
Instead, the SABC announced in September that it was technically insolvent and was struggling to honour payments to service providers and other contractual obligations.

That’s how little hourly earnings for the average U.S. employee rose in February, the smallest increase in about a year and a startling pivot, given how much workers have been in demand.
Average hourly pay, a measure that includes salaried employees, rose to $31.58 from $31.57 last month following a string of much bigger monthly increases. It rose over 10 cents in all but one of the last 10 months, including 19 cents in January, as busy employers have competed for manpower. That’s translated to a 5.1% increase in the past year—from $30.04 to the $31.58—a jump unheard of in the years leading up to the pandemic. (Unfortunately for workers, that extra buying power has been more than eroded by soaring inflation.)
Economists absorbing the new data out Friday kicked a few theories around for the surprisingly small increase, including that it could just be a statistical fluke, more noise than a signal of a shift in the leverage workers have had recently over employers.
One popular explanation, though, was that a sharp uptick in lower-paid leisure and hospitality workers dragged the average down, just like massive layoffs among low-paid workers at the start of the pandemic caused average wages to spike.
Another consideration: It’s evidence to some economists that we are not in the midst of (as some feared) a dreaded phenomenon called a wage-price spiral, where prices increase, causing workers to demand higher wages, causing businesses to raise prices to cover those wages, leading to a vicious cycle.

Parramatta Eels Supporters Website
Speaking too a close mate of Hayne, and Parra/Donnelly aren’t going to sign Hayne for next year. He reckons Roosters....I know what ur saying, but that’s what the story is.
on another note.... he went on to tell me a story how Nick Politis took Cronk for a game off golf, Politis had a 30mtr putt and told Cronk that he would bet him $200,000 that he would sink the ball, bet was taken up and needless to say Politis went nowhere near the hole and Cronk won $200 grand.
A TPA payment when you don't have one.!?
While Hayne was a top fullback, he's dropped a couple of rungs since the U.S adventure and GC, sun tanning days, even if he went there which I doubt, who in the backs would he put out, Tedesco has their fullback spot sown up.
Thus it raises the question of what your informant was on at the time.
Plenty supply of brown paper bags
Toni, I think you will find that Pou is being sarcastic and with tongue in cheek. He's not the only one and not just from the eels fan base who say it. It actually applies to other clubs as well, such as one north and one south of the border, and one out on the Peninsular, although there are some visible scabs showing on their wounds and another one along the Railway line between Marrickville and Yagoona.
Other aspect of mergers and wit the new teams you suggest, that will only start the digging of the NRL's grave, rather than just having the plot reserved for it as it is now.
Not this rubbish again.
Mergers don't create stronger clubs, that has been proven over and over again.
And which half of Penrith is going to merge with Parramatta and which half is going to merge with the Dogs & Tigers ?
Forget Fiji & PNG, there simply is not the market size or corporate support for NRL clubs in those areas. The 2nd tier leagues are the spot for those nations, not the NRL.
I do agree with expansion, and I have gone on the record how I would expand the league ultimately to a 24 team league across 2 conferences / 6 divisions.
I think you may have it wrong Tonii Simon - Two teams don't just merge because they are close n one team sucks - eg Panthers and Eels to make a Western Sydney team, we all know eels are $$ stable area/side. Merges happen when teams are not financial. so please stop with this SH1T.
But mergers don’t bring in bigger crowds, they actually shrink the overall fan base.
Other aspect also is when teams are lost to the top grade crowds also drop in the respective areas.
North Sydney had a fair following when doing well at a very archaic ground, Wests had better crowds at Lidcombe than Pratten Park. Newtown was often sold out and you could not get in Henson park, and they still pull some reasonable crowds but nothing like they used to. Balmain was more often than not, especially when doing well chockers at Leichardt.
How many supporters of those folded/merged teams no longer follow NRL? Its the same with the loss of many clubs in the old Second Division, Brisbane area since Bronco's have less teams in their previously strong RL comp.
Mergers really have achieved little, I would even suggest the Wests/Tigers merge gets old Balmain Supporters when they play at Leichardt, but when they play at Campbelltown, they get some of the old Wests supporters but they have likely got a new ones from the local area. With Leichardt being closer to their roots at Ashfield/Pratten Park they would support the team at Leichardt though, not as far as the crow flies, but maggies may be a bit far.
If mergers take place again in Sydney, it will hand both soccer and AFL new supporters on a plate. It will affect what's left of the old second division, now ISP, along with the Junior RL as well, something that is to be seriously considered.
Exactly Brett, the Superleague was almost killed the game and then the created mergers kept plenty of fans away. If the Eels were forced to merge and kicked out of the comp that would be me done with RL.
Alan, I along with many are with you on that, it will certainly end my support for RL if the eels merge, I told the emperor that outside the leagues club many years back when he was pushing it, his words were RL was no longer a sport rather a business.
We merge , myself and tens of thousands of others are lost to the club forever . Living in the Illawarra I can tell you first hand I know no less than 15 people that used to follow the Steelers that are not StMerge fans and certainly don’t follow league with anywhere near the passion they used to . A few jumped on successful teams like Broncos and Storm , a few Cronulla , but I know quite a few that floated and then jumped on The Rabbitohs when they were let back in because they were the underdog . If Parra ever merged I reckon there would be a massive amount that can’t follow the merged Eels and I’m one of them .

Club Read #54 - Meet YA Author Wendelin Van Draanen
The Running Dream by Wendelin Van Draanen
Jessica thinks her life is over when she loses a leg in a car accident. She's not comforted by the news that she'll be able to walk with the help of a prosthetic leg. Who cares about walking when you live to run?
As she struggles to cope with crutches and a first cyborg-like prosthetic, Jessica feels oddly both in the spotlight and invisible. People who don't know what to say, act like she's not there. Which she could handle better if she weren't now keenly aware that she'd done the same thing herself to a girl with CP named Rosa. A girl who is going to tutor her through all the math she's missed. A girl who sees right into the heart of her.
With the support of family, friends, a coach, and her track teammates, Jessica may actually be able to run again. But that's not enough for her now. She doesn't just want to cross finish lines herself--she wants to take Rosa with her.
Wendelin Van Draanen is best known for her Sammy Keyes mystery series. The series' heroine, Samantha, is a spunky tomboy who prefers to be called Sammy. For young readers, Sammy is a realistic, believable character, and it's easy to see why. Van Draanen knows how a tomboy thinks and feels because she used to be a tomboy herself.
