Chapter 263 – What Happened Between Them (3)
It was a rehab therapy agreement that required a signature.
Qiao Lian remained expressionless as she opened and read through the document. It appeared that Shen Liangchuan had prepared a team of specialists to provide recuperative training for Qiao Yi.
Qiao Lian was well acquainted with the specialists in this field, since all of these years she had the desire to help her brother recover his legs’ mobility.
After his surgery, Qiao Yi had never been very successful in rehab therapy.
That had made her very anxious.
And now, she saw that every member in the team assembled by Shen Liangchuan was a renowned expert in the field.
Qiao Lian clutched the agreement tightly.
She was in a turmoil and felt emotions that were hard to explain.
He hadn’t given an explanation ever since the truth regarding the pill had been exposed. Instead he had time and again showed his goodwill towards her. Was this his way of making it up to her?
And unfortunately, she wasn’t even in the position to turn down his goodwill.
Because this agreement was what she needed most right now.
But she was also sure that this document came at the price of her freedom. Shen Liangchuan would never let her go now.
Qiao Lian looked down to hide the agony in her eyes. Without saying a word, she picked up the pen to sign the document and returned the agreement papers to Shen Liangchuan.
The atmosphere in the car was awkward at best. As Shen Liangchuan took back the agreement document, he looked as though he was going to say something. Then, not finding the right words, he stopped himself.
He had sat in the study and thought long and hard about it the night before.
Qiao Lian had been determined to get a divorce after finding out about the pill.
Her fury made him anxious, but at the same time it caused him dismal.
All because he had no idea how to give her a good explanation for it.
The pill was real…
But what was he going to tell her? Say that he was Zi Chuan and that not wanting her to get pregnant had initially been in order to get revenge? Or… that eventually it had been because he was worried that she’d leave after having a baby, as they had never had a relationship to begin with?
He did not know how to handle her indifference, but he wanted to do what he could to make her happy.
However, he noticed that her hands were trembling as she signed the agreement. It certainly wasn’t the look of happiness.
He found himself at a loss again.
Putting the document away, Shen Liangchuan started up the car engine.
No matter what, he wasn’t going to give up.
She was full of animosity and hated him now, but surely as time passed, this resentment would fade.
Just like how much he had hated her eight years ago… but now, hadn’t he decided to let those ill feelings go too?
Shen Liangchuan focused his attention on the road ahead as these thoughts ran through his mind.
The past would be the past, what was important was the road ahead.
After driving along for some time, Qiao Lian realized that they weren’t on the way back home.
Surprised, she turned to Shen Liangchuan. But when she looked at him, she pursed her lips and decided not to say anything.
From the corner of his eye, Shen Liangchuan caught her movement and his expression darkened.
In the past, even though she had been afraid of him, she had at least asked where they were heading. But now had she withdrawn from dealing with him so much that she did not even want to speak?
The thought was stifling. Finally breaking the silence in the car, he said, “Let’s go visit Zombie Leader.”
Zombie Leader, Su Penghao?
Qiao Lian glanced at him. “You’re still not letting him go?”
Shen Liangchuan nodded. “He is highly versatile. I’ve come to realize that he easily gets into a role, no matter what role he plays. This is a very important trait in team competition, as it can make up for the weaker team members.”
“But he’s unwilling—”
Before she could finish what she was saying, Shen Liangchuan interrupted her and said full of confidence, “He’ll agree.”

Jersey deputy wants ash turned into building material
Jersey's waste could be turned into building materials to stop the build up of ash, according to a deputy.
Deputy John Young is leading a group of politicians reviewing how to deal with the growing mound of ash at the incinerator.
He said just putting the ash into pits at La Collette was not a good use of land.
Transport Minister Deputy Kevin Lewis said it cost £1m a year to produce pits to store the ash.
Deputy Lewis said there were two types of ash, the safer kind that is put in pits and the kind that normally goes up the chimney.
He said the second kind had the toxins and the government had put an application in to have that ash exported to the UK.
Deputy Young said Jersey produced 20,000 tonnes of rubbish that once incinerated added to the ash pile. He said something had to be done before it reached the sea.
Leading a scrutiny panel review of how to deal with the ash, he said the panel decided it should be recycled and reused by the building industry.
He said: "If we can produce the right quality and find commercial partners we can build up a market to achieve this.
"The environment minister wants a sustainable solution and the transport minister wants a technical workable solution.
"We get land, potentially available for reuse and it is more sustainable, there are no legacies for future generations to deal with."


Mayor pays tribute to Luxembourg Baha'is on anniversary
LUXEMBOURG, Luxembourg — The first election 50 years ago of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Luxembourg has been commemorated here with a monument in a central city park.
The large stone bearing the words of Baha'u'llah – "The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens" – was unveiled in the Parc de Merl on 30 October by the city's mayor Xavier Bettel, accompanied by the municipal magistrate Viviane Loschetter, members of the city council, and other special guests.
The council also planted an oak tree in the park as a gift to the Baha'i community to mark the anniversary.
"A tree is a symbol of life," said Mayor Bettel, "It grows organically and bears fruit from which all of us may benefit."
"I also firmly believe that our society has to open up to new thoughts and beliefs which have become part of this society..." Mr. Bettel added. "The city of Luxembourg not only consists of 61 per cent of foreign citizens but unites an ever growing variety of different beliefs and convictions. This is why I have planted this tree as a tribute to the Baha'i community."

Baripada: In a shocking incident, a woman reportedly sold her newborn twins for Rs 1000 and a saree in Morada area of Odisha’s Mayurbhanj district.
According to reports, Manda Soren of Amananama village had given birth to the twins, a baby boy and a baby girl, at the District Headquarters Hospital here on December 8. She was discharged from the hospital on December 10.
Laxmi Murmu, a local Anganwadi worker, said Manda has sold the babies to two different persons.
“Manda had told me that she sold her baby boy to a person of Podaastia and baby girl to a person of Kathapala area. In return, she got Rs 1000 and a saree. Manda took the step as she was unable to raise the babies,” said Murmu.
As per family sources, Manda’s husband Thakura went missing last year after he developed mental disorder.
A village meeting was held on Wednesday night over the matter. The woman was asked to bring back her babies. However, the villagers raised question as to who is the father of the newborns citing that her husband has gone missing. Subsequently, no solution could be derived at the meeting.
As the incident came to fore, Morada SDPO Mita Nayak went to Manda’s house and took stock of the incident. The police official advised the woman to bring back her children.

contagion of heretics, he gave this affair in charge to the most reverend Abbot John, then appointed to go to Britain. The synod we have spoken of having been called for this purpose in Britain, the Catholic faith was found untainted in them all; and a copy of the same given him to carry to Rome. But in his return to his own country, soon after crossing the sea, he fell sick and died; and his body, for the sake of St. Martin, in whose monastery he presided, was by his friends carried to Tours, and honourably buried; for he had been kindly entertained there when he went into Britain, and earnestly entreated by the brethren, that in his return to Rome he would take that road, and give them a visit. In short, he was there supplied with some to conduct him on his way, and assist him in the work enjoined him. Though he died by the way, yet the testimony of the faith of the English nation was carried to Rome, and most agreeably received by the apostolic pope, and all those that heard or read it.

New York state has recently enacted a significant legal change impacting employers and settlement agreements. Bill S4516 amends the state’s General Obligations Law to impose restrictions on non-disclosure and non-disparagement provisions in settlement agreements involving claims of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation.
For employers, this new law brings about crucial changes in how settlement agreements are structured and enforced:
1. Restriction on Liquidated Damages:
Settlement agreements in claims involving sexual harassment or other forms of discrimination cannot include terms that require the complainant to pay liquidated damages if they violate a non-disclosure agreement.
2. Protection for Complainants
The law aims to protect individuals from financial penalties for disclosing their experiences of harassment or discrimination. Employers cannot include provisions in settlement agreements that financially penalize complainants for breaching non-disclosure terms.
3. Prohibition of Certain Terms
The law bars employers from requiring complainants to forfeit any part of the settlement or to sign statements negating their experiences of discrimination or retaliation in the event of violating non-disclosure provisions.
The law is effective immediately.

For one thing, the design of the mountain is actually based off of Chickapin Hill, the hill that Brer Fox lives in (seen in only a couple of shots). The story of the ride itself is actually based off of all three of the animated segments that feature Brer Rabbit, mixing moments between the three. And not only that, but they even include songs not based on the animated sequences into the queue music (such as All I Want and the title song.

A wide product portfolio, good light and performance values together with an impressive price performance ratio.
LED lamps by OSRAM are characterized by their enormous product range. Various types of bases and shapes of lamps - from screw and plug bases via high-voltage and low-voltage versions up to reflector lamps, and classic incandescent lamp shapes - are within our range. They are therefore ideally suited to both commercial and private use.
LED lamps by OSRAM: usable for almost all applications
Thanks to the broad range of OSRAM products, LED lamps are the ideal solution in many different areas – for new installations or as a replacement for classic incandescent lamps, compact fluorescent lamps or halogen lamps, and for T8 fluorescent lamps. Whether for private or commercial use, for example in restaurants and hotels: LED lamps by OSRAM are the perfect alternative for general lighting as well as ambient lighting.
Energy efficiency and savings
OSRAM LED lamps can be deployed in virtually any application. This not only has a positive effect on your wallet but also benefits your total power consumptions: For example, if each private household in Germany were to replace just one 60 watt incandescent lamp by a corresponding LED lamp, there would be a saving in power consumption equivalent to that of a medium-sized city. That would be around 1,920,000,000 kWh of power or more than half a billion Euros.
Do you know why our LED lamps are the right choice?
High degree of efficiency and sustainability

She said there was already Cape Malays from Capetown who migrated earlier than their family, one of them married to a Perak Royalty.

Summary:Many food products contain engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) due to both unintentional and intentional additions. There has been increasing concerns about the potential health risks associated with foodborne ENPs. However, the detailed understanding of health effects of foodborne ENPs is not available despite a limited number of published toxicity studies on these ENPs. This talk provides an overview on our recent studies on the health effects of organic and inorganic foodborne ENPs, i.e. nanoemulsions and titanium dioxide nanoparticles, respectively. Specifically, the impacts of these ENPs on systemic toxicity, bioavailability and metabolism of food components, homeostasis of gut microbiome will be discussed.

Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease and a healthy immune system can prevent white patches. Some of the diets include boosting the immune system with foods rich in phytochemicals, antioxidants, and beta-carotene that can slow down disease progression. Meanwhile, say no to citrus fruits and turmeric. Apart from that, avoid lemon, fish, meat, orange, brinjal, curd, and alcohol because they can negatively impact your skin if you are suffering from Vitiligo.
Ayurvedic treatment for Vitiligo is based on immunity boosting and patients need to follow some food restriction and a diet chart. Because wrong food combinations can disturb your immune system, so patients are required to follow some food restrictions for proper vitiligo treatment.
Lemon, fish, meat, orange, brinjal, curd, alcohol, tomato, pickle, grapes, fish and red meat and carbonated drinks are strictly restricted.
Amla, junk food,Chicken, egg, dairy Products, Ice cream and chocolate should not be taken regularly.
Green leafy vegetable, beetroot, carrot, radish, milk, dates, figs, chickpeas and copper infused water are very helpful in Vitiligo
What is the role of Minerals, Phenols and free Radicals in Vitiligo?
Phenols are found in many fruits, foods and man-made products.
There are fruits such as strawberries, black berries, mango, citrus fruits, cashews which are rich in Phenols. When these fruits are taken in excess they react in body and trigger vitiligo. This has been proved in a clinical study.
Turmeric was known from ages to be used for colour fairness that means it can cause depigmentation or colour loss in vitiligo patients.
Free Radicals are produced in body due to stress, constipation and with normal wear and tear of body and normal chemical reactions in body. These free radicals if produced in excess can trigger vitiligo.
Ashwagandha and Omega-3 Fatty acids are helpful to clear free radicals from body .Their use can help in speedy recovery of white patches.
Minerals and vitamins have been found to be helpful in many studies in vitiligo patients.
Apple, Radish and carrot are rich in nutrients and are thus helpful in vitiligo patients.
Crimini Mushrooms ( Agaricus bisporus) are coffee coloured mushrooms which are rich in Vitamin B2, Vitamin B5 and Copper and are found to be helpful in vitiligo patients.

December 22, 1999 Letter To the Editor:
January 17th – 23rd is national Non-Smoking Week, and organizations such as the Canadian Cancer Society need all the help we can get in our fight against tobacco. We are writing to urge the city of Ottawa to join the many other municipalities in Ontario who have passed smoke-free bylaws.
At this moment, in our community, people are lying in hospital beds, slowly suffocating to death, each laboured breath bringing them closer to dying of lung cancer caused by cigarette smoking. Their stricken families are compelled to sit by helplessly and watch their loved ones struggle for oxygen.
Meanwhile, at the same time, thousands of teenagers are lighting up cigarettes, taking the first steps in a journey that may eventually lead to that same hospital bed. We know that out of every five teens who start to smoke, four will become addicted, and two will eventually die of smoking related disease.
This is not a political issue, this is a health issue. Controlling second-hand smoke is our moral responsibility. By doing so, we set an example for our young people, and we honour those who have died.
The Canadian Cancer Society volunteers and staff are working across Canada to help teens resist the pressures of the tobacco industry and to help smokers kick the habit. We encourage the City of Ottawa to join us and implement a smoke-free bylaw.
For more information about the effects of tobacco use and how-to-quit smoking, call the Canadian Cancer Society's Cancer Information Service at 1-888-939-3333.
President, Carleton Unit.

How to press a jacket lapel? Jackets are a staple in any man’s wardrobe, and there is no better way to show your personality than with a custom-made jacket. But even if you have the perfect jacket, the lapel can be a bit of a letdown. If you want to add some extra pizzazz to your jacket’s lapel, follow these simple steps.
Firstly, make sure that your lapel is of the right length. A too-long lapel will look sloppy and unkempt, while a too-short one will make your jacket look unfinished.
Secondly, use a properly fitting press to give your lapel that sharp, finished look.
And finally, keep in mind that jackets come in all different colors and styles, so don’t be afraid to experiment with press techniques to get the results you’re looking for.
To give your jacket a sharp, finished look, follow these simple steps: first, make sure the lapel is of the right length, and secondly, use a properly fitting press to give it that perfect shape.
What You’ll Need
How to press a jacket lapel? To press a jacket lapel, you’ll need a pressing cloth, hot iron, and an appropriate garment. Place the pressing cloth on the lapel of the jacket and place the hot iron on top of the cloth. Press down evenly with moderate pressure to create a crisp, pressed look.
To press a skirt, you’ll need a pressing cloth, hot iron, and an appropriate garment. Place the pressing cloth on the skirt and place the hot iron on top of the cloth. Press down evenly with moderate pressure to create a crisp, pressed look.
How to Press a Jacket Lapel
How to press a jacket lapel? To press a jacket lapel, first make sure the jacket is laid out so that you have the lapel in view. Then place your hand on the lapel and hold it in place while pressing down with your thumb. Finally, use your other hand to pull up on the lapel until it’s tight against the collar.
If you have a tailored jacket, you may also need to take into account the fit of the lapel. For example, if the lapel is too wide or too narrow, it will not lie flat against the collar. In this case, you’ll need to adjust the fit by pinching or tucking the lapel in.
Tips for Perfect Pressing
How to press a jacket lapel? When pressing a jacket lapel, start with the right side of the lapel and work your way to the left. Be sure to use downward pressure and keep your hand close to the fabric so that you can feel any wrinkles or irregularities. Use your fingers to press down firmly on either side of the lapel, then lift up using your thumb and index finger. Smooth out any wrinkles with your other hand.
If the lapel is wider on one side than the other, it may be necessary to fold the fabric in half so that it’s even. Place your hands on either side of the lapel and pull it toward you until the lapel is folded in half. Then press down firmly and smooth out any wrinkles.
If the lapel is too long, it may need to be cut off at the edge of the jacket. To do this, place your fingers inside the lapel and start at one end. Hold the lapel in position and use a sharp knife or scissors to cut off the excess fabric. Be sure to hold on to the lapel as you do this so that it doesn’t fall off.
If there are buttons on the lapel, it’s important to button them up correctly. Start at one end of the button and press it down until it’s attached to the fabric. Then go to the other end and do the same thing.
In order to properly press a jacket lapel, you will need:
-A pressing cloth
-A heavy object (such as a book or steamer)
-Bucket or pan with hot water
Tips and Warnings
How to press a jacket lapel? When wearing a suit, it is important to know how to properly press the jacket lapel. The lapel can be easily pressed by grabbing the fabric at the base of the lapel and pulling upwards. Be sure not to twist or wring the fabric as this can damage it over time.Always use a gentle hand when pressing the lapel and avoid contact with the buttons or other metal accessories on the suit.
When in doubt, it is always best to avoid wearing a suit. Wearing a suit can be tricky and requires a lot of practice to get the hang of. If you are unsure about how to properly wear a suit, it is always best to ask a friend or family member for help.
How to Do It
How to press a jacket lapel? To press a jacket lapel, take hold of the lapel with your left hand and bring it up to your shoulder, thereby creating a space between the lapel and your shirt. With your right hand, push down on the front of the jacket so that it pushes down on the shoulder blade. Hold for about two seconds, then release.
If you have a two-button jacket, push down on the front of the left lapel to release the right button. If you have a one-button jacket, hold down on the front of the left lapel and push down on the back of the right lapel to release the button.
Tips for a successful press
How to press a jacket lapel? There are a few tips for a successful press:
-Make sure the jacket is clean and free of creases or wrinkles.
-Iron the lapel before pressing. This will help to reduce wrinkles.
-Press from the center outwards towards the edge of the lapel.
-Use firm, even pressure while pressing.
Tips for Pressing a Jacket Lapel
How to press a jacket lapel? There are a few things to keep in mind when pressing a jacket lapel. First, make sure the lapel is straight. If it’s not, use a cloth or pins to hold it in place while you press. Second, use your hand rather than a press cloth or towel to apply pressure. This will help avoid wrinkles and ensure the jacket lays flat. Finally, be patient – it may take several tries to get the perfect result.
If you’re looking to press a jacket lapel without having to do it yourself, there are a few places you can turn. Many department stores offer professional jacket pressing services, while others may have staff that can press your jacket for you. Additionally, some clothing retailers like J.Crew offer free pressing for all online orders over $150.
How to press a jacket lapel? If you’re looking to add a touch of polish to your jacket, or just want to learn how to press a lapel properly, read on for our tips. First, lay the jacket flat so that the lapel is facing up. Next, use your hand to gently smooth out any wrinkles in the fabric. To press the lapel, start at one end and work your way towards the other — avoid pushing down too hard or you’ll create creases in the fabric. Finally, take off the gloves and finish by pressing each edge of the lapel with a heated iron until it’s shiny and crisp.

How A.I.—and a good fitter—got me 19 more yards in about 10 swings
Artificial Intelligence’s impact on the world may be a source of current controversy—ChatGPT legal briefs, anyone?—but AI’s expanding role in golf, particularly when it comes to club fitting, might just be a peak into the Tomorrowland all golfers (and fitters) have dreamed of.
Even better, it’s already here.
Using computer-driven analytics to streamline fitting has been a growing part of the process of finding the right match for a golfer for more than a decade. Mizuno’s Shaft Optimizer took shaft-fitting well beyond the educated guess-and-check method from the moment it first appeared in 2010. Requiring only a handful of swings with a 7-iron, it’s continued to improve the company’s overall fitting process to where it can not only optimize shaft and head, but even lie angle and recommend a ball, too. Titleist recently developed a computer-driven method for dialing in the proper lofts and sole grinds for a wedge fitting, and Ping’s fitting matrix can show you all the possibilities for filling out the gaps in your bag just based on how you hit the 7-iron you’ve just been fit for. All of these manufacturer-driven systems, and others like them, are widely available at authorized locations.
Several independent fitters are developing brand-agnostic ways of sorting the universe of possible fits, including Dan Sueltz at D’Lance Golf outside Denver, Wade Heintzelman at the Golf Care Center in Maryland, and Chris Wycoff with his SwingFit A.I. in South Carolina. Meanwhile, Cool Clubs has been categorizing and sorting data on clubs and shafts for the last two decades, and with access to its own robot, its fitters know what a player should expect to see before she even makes a swing. GolfTec’s training centers offer clubfitting with its proprietary Tecfit system that evaluates clubs based on how closely they optimize various performance metrics, including ball speed, launch angle and spin with each player’s swing.
Now, Club Champion, the U.S.’s leading clubfitting brand with more than 110 facilities, is bringing A.I. to its methodology. The new system, called Co-Pilot, uses an artificial intelligence and machine learning system developed in conjunction with the business technology consulting firm Inspire11 (a group that included several Club Champion customers). Co-Pilot fast-tracks fitting recommendations in just 10 swings with a customer’s current driver or irons, based on the Trackman launch monitor data that the system tracks. It’s been in a beta test for the last year, but now is fully rolled out across all Club Champion locations.
It’s not about eliminating human intelligence in the fitting process, it’s about enhancing it, said Nick Sherburne, Club Champion co-founder and master fitter.
“When we first set out on this, the goal was to never take the spotlight off the fitter,” he said. “All the data people and engineers that we worked with at Inspire11 also agreed with that, and that’s why it’s called Co-Pilot. They actually came up with the name because even they don’t believe A.I. can necessarily fit somebody perfectly. What it can do is it can make the fitter smarter and quicker, faster.”
Sherburne knew that with Club Champion’s 65,000 head and shaft combinations and the equipment industry’s continuing expansion of new products, seeing perfect matches was getting beyond human capabilities. Moreover, the Co-Pilot system learns with every fit and every adjustment the human fitter makes. Sherburne estimates that Club Champion is inputting nearly a million swings a month into the system.
"We're collecting a lot of swings and then it triangulates with the Trackman Optimizer, and then it triangulates with what has been purchased in the past based off the fit," he said. "The system still wants to see how if a fitter went a different direction because there's still some art to it."
But as much as the fitter benefits from the A.I. system’s instant recommendations, it’s the customer who might be a bigger beneficiary. The ultimate truth of the new system is how it leads to fewer swings to get you closer to the perfect recommendation.
“There’s no doubt that one of the things we hear from some of our customers occasionally is that a three-and-a-half hour full bag fitting can be tiring,” said Sherburne, who believes A.I. could cut a typical 90-minute fitting session to just an hour and a three-and-half hour session to just two-and-a-half. “This just makes the whole process for the customer and the fitter much more efficient.”
The Co-Pilot fitting system builds off an initial list of five shafts based on your first 10 swings. Even fewer swings follow with any or all of the recommended shafts. All the while the system is learning and adjusting based on the Trackman data from the launch monitor and the millions of swings in Club Champion’s fitting database. In other words, if you take the highest recommended shaft and get ideal results with it in terms of ball speed, spin, launch, distance, dispersion and consistency, you might not need to make another swing to determine the proper shaft. Once the shaft is settled on, the system then recommends a series of five optimal heads for your swing.
When I experienced the system at Club Champion’s Manhattan facility last week, what was most interesting wasn’t how the computer spit out recommendations to master fitter Zach Weber. It was how the recommendations set us off on a journey that wasn’t random or even full of a rainbow of possibilities, but instead very targeted. Of course, I could see Weber looking at recommendations from the Co-Pilot system with the occasional raised eyebrow that you’d expect from any human-computer interaction.
“I recognized most of the recommendations right away, that’s where I would have gone myself, too,” said Weber, who’s been in the fitting business for more than 15 years. “But others were odd to me. It got me thinking differently about possible angles to take.”
The Trackman scatter plot of my drives might seem indecipherable, but Club Champion's A.I. Co-Pilot system can read it and a good fitter can act on it.
We didn’t end up with exactly the No. 1 recommendation, but it was close, kind of a combination of the second and third initial recommended shaft and head. The difference was Weber’s golf intuition. As he said, “There’s the perfect fit by the numbers and then there’s the perfect fit you have to play golf with.” More importantly, the end result was 19 additional yards and about a 75-percent tighter dispersion. Even better: Rather than feeling like I’d just finished a triathlon, I could easily have stuck around to dial in my fairway woods and hybrids and possibly gotten a wedge or putter fitting, too. All of it took less than an hour.
It was a perfect illustration of how the explosion in average golfer data is leading not only to better fitting solutions, but a better fitting experience. Companies, fitters and retailers have been sitting on more information about optimized performance than the PGA Tour’s ShotLink system has churned out in its two decades of use. Now those numbers are going to start impacting your numbers in ways you never could have imagined. In short, fitting is working better and smarter than it ever has, thanks to how the human brain and the artificial one can now work in concert.
What we may be seeing with the increased use of analytics in fitting is how the same sort of efficiencies that have become commonplace for elite golfers are now going to be that much easier for average golfers to access. Thanks to A.I., they may be accessing that optimized performance much quicker and more effectively. And after all, it means a heck of a lot more to us average hacks than it will to any tour player trying to dial in his Trackman numbers so he’s hitting it 320 instead of 319.

Skin laxity can be a troubling concern. Although collagen-based moisturizers and retinol-based serums promise to lift and tighten the skin, the truth is that many people who deal with exceptional skin laxity do not get the results they want from over-the-counter products. At Revive Wellness Group in Perrysburg, OH and Gibsonburg, OH we believe in revitalizing your natural beauty with the latest PDO thread lift treatment.
PDO Thread Lift
NOVA Threads are the latest thread lift treatment available. Like PDO threads, NOVA is formulated with polydioxanone threads, a special type of dissolvable suture that has been used in major medical surgical procedures for years. This thread lift is ideal for treating moderate to severe skin laxity, fine lines, and wrinkles, particularly on the lower and mid-face.
Thread lift treatments take about 30 to 45 minutes to complete most of the time. After your treatment, you will be able to achieve the results of a facelift without any surgery, prolonged recovery period, or risk of scarring. NOVA threads, in particular, can be tailored to achieve your specific aesthetic goals.
When Will You See Results?
It will take some time for you to see the results of your treatment. NOVA Threads work by building collagen around the PDO threads placed within the sub-dermal layers of your skin. It takes about four to six months for these sutures to be fully dissolved; during this time, you may notice the initial results of your treatment as soon as one to two months. Your results will continue to improve for as long as your skin produces new collagen.
How Long Do Results Last with a PDO Thread Lift?
The results of this treatment are designed to last for about six months, or as long as the collagen around the sutures will remain in your skin. Some people who are younger or who have more mild concerns may be able to enjoy results for longer than six months. For you, this means you may need another treatment about once a year to maintain your desired results.
How Should You Prepare?
Unlike a surgical facelift, preparing for a thread lift is relatively easy. You will not need to make any changes to your daily routine, although if you are taking any blood-thinning medications or supplements, you may be asked to stop for at least a week before your treatment.
The most important preparation step for your treatment is a consultation appointment. During your consultation, we will examine the severity of your skin laxity to determine the best approach for your rejuvenating treatment. Ideally, a thread lift should be an adequate treatment to address concerns like:
- Sagging jowls
- Nasolabial folds
- Skin laxity
- Loose skin on the neck
What Is Recovery Like?
The initial recovery period for your treatment will be about 24 to 48 hours. During this time, you should avoid rubbing your face, using hot water, and moving your lower face too much, including with activities like chewing food or smoking. We sometimes advise patients to adopt a soft or liquid diet to ease this period of recovery.
Most people will be able to resume normal activities about one to two weeks after your treatment. This includes returning to your normal work and exercise routine, sleeping on your side, and engaging in activities like hot tubs, saunas, and tanning beds.
Who Are Good Candidates?
Most people with moderate to severe skin laxity on the lower face are good candidates for this treatment. Many patients are between the ages of 40 and 50, which is when skin laxity tends to be the most apparent. Younger patients may be able to enjoy longer-lasting results, but even mature patients can benefit from this non-surgical treatment.
Candidates for this treatment will need to be assessed during a consultation appointment. Information about your general health, your medications, your skincare, and other details will need to be answered to determine your eligibility for this treatment. Because PDO threads are made with a bio-compatible material, most people make good candidates without any concerns about allergic reactions.
What Are the Benefits of a PDO Thread Lift?
Thread lifts have become immensely popular in the last few years. Not only are thread lifts non-surgical and generally less risky, but they can also produce more natural-looking results than a traditional facelift thanks to the natural production of new collagen. Some main NOVA threads benefits include:
As thread lifts become more widely used, many patients find that this treatment is increasingly versatile. While this treatment is traditionally used to improve wrinkles and skin laxity on the lower face, some people can also use this treatment to contour the face or improve other aspects of the appearance. For example, this treatment can be sued to contour the cheekbones, the jawline, and the area beneath the chin.
One of the most overlooked benefits of this treatment is the fact that new collagen production in the skin can also improve the overall tone and quality of your skin. Along with reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles, the overall texture and tone of your skin will also improve with this treatment. By stimulating new collagen production, other skin-healing can restore the appearance of your skin.
PDO thread lift treatments have undergone several clinical trials to determine the efficacy of treatment. Some studies indicate that this treatment has a success rate of at least 90%, which is significantly higher than some other non-surgical aesthetic treatments. Although this minimally-invasive treatment may seem too good to be true, the clinical evidence proves that the results are true and long-lasting.
Restore Your Appearance With A Thread lift
Among all the PDO thread lifting treatments available to patients, NOVA threads are the newest and most popular option. This thread lift treatment can be used in several ways to address all of your age-related concerns, even for those who have severe signs of visible aging on the mid and lower face. If you’re looking for a treatment that’s much more effective than over-the-counter creams and much easier to recover from than a traditional facelift, then a thread lift is the ideal treatment for you.

The number of bereaved families and friends of those massacred by white terrorists in the United States tragically continues to expand. Within the last year alone bodies riddled with the bullets of military-style weapons lay strewn on the streets of large cities like Pittsburgh and El Paso to small towns like Poway and Gilroy. Fueled by anti-Semitic and anti-Hispanic rhetoric, the paranoid projections and racist rhetoric of white nationalism and white supremacy have been weaponized into white terrorism.
Yet white terrorism also stalks those seeking refuge at our southern border. Imagine a distraught mother, reeling from the murder of her child. With other young children at risk, she decides to begin a perilous journey to escape any further violence. Because she hopes to prevent being attacked on the long trek, she joins with others, equally at risk. Having only a vague hope of joining distant relatives once she arrives at her destination, she and her children withstand the many deprivations over the long haul. Finally, arriving at what she has been told is a land of refuge, her children are ripped from her care. She, in turn, is taken to an overcrowded caged facility where she finds hundreds of others languishing in deplorable conditions.
This story has been repeated over and over by the thousands to Central Americans seeking asylum in the United States. Not only have those thousands been denied even the opportunity to request asylum, but they have been labeled by the President of the United States as an “infestation” of “invaders,” bringing with them crime and disease. Thousands of children, many violently separated from a parent, now remain in caged surroundings, denied even the basics of care.
The policies promulgated by the Trump Administration and carried out by often vindictive and uncaring Border Patrol agents can only be described as a form of white terrorism. These brutal policies and vicious rhetoric are intended to diminish the increase of brown people in the United States and reinforce the delusions of white nationalism perpetrated by its advocates in the White House and on hate-filled websites.
The fact that the most recent murderous attacks on brown people by angry armed white nationalists in Gilroy and El Paso reflects the paranoia and racism stoked by Trump, his Republican enablers, and the dark neo-Nazi and white supremacist sites on the web. Those sites reinforce the paranoid rhetoric of invasions and “white genocide” and help create a death cult of white terrorism.
Although opposing these forces of white terror is essential, the deep roots of such violence require even more radical solutions than impeachment, electoral defeat, and bans on hate speech. Confronting this history of white nationalism and white supremacy means recognizing its institutional and ideological past and its persistence under different circumstances in the present. Indeed, it is this institutional and ideological matrix that informed state-sanctioned white supremacy and white nationalism in the past, leading to forms of white terrorism against Native Americans and people of African descent. Both legal and extra-legal mechanisms, under the imperatives of settler colonialism, were used to commit genocide against Native Americans and the enslavement of Africans.
White terrorism, therefore, was bred into the expansion of the United States and the exploitation of enslaved Africans for profit. To guarantee the suppression of resistance by either Native Americans or African Americans, whites were recruited into state militias, slave patrols, and the military. Constitutional provisions, such as the Second Amendment, and laws like the Fugitive Slave Act, provided both 18th and 19th century whites with instruments of terrorism. Policing policies grew out of these slave patrols and such imperial vigilantes as the Texas Rangers.
In the aftermath of the armed rebellion of thousands of African Americans during the Civil War, white vigilantes, like the Ku Klux Klan, operated during the Reconstruction as a vindictive weapon of white terrorism. In combination with the emergence of Jim Crow laws, Southern states became bastions of white terrorism up through the 1950s and 1960s when both the legal system and the civil rights movement upended state-sanctioned white supremacy.
Immigrants from the 19th century though the mid 20th century also faced forms of white supremacist oppression and white nationalist backlash. The KKK became a national phenomenon during the 1920s as the Congress shut the doors on open immigration. Xenophobia and racism defined who was included and excluded in the American polity. It is not surprising, therefore, that the Border Patrol, established in 1924, reflected such xenophobia and racism throughout much of its early history, practicing forms of white terrorism.
Now, the resonances of xenophobia and racism continue to inform the practices of the Border Patrol and ICE. The white terrorism on our southern border may not be as lethal as the murderous massacres perpetrated by angry armed white men. On the other hand, the emotional and physical trauma suffered by those victimized by state-sanctioned white terrorism on our southern border remains a tragic reminder of the cruelty promoted by the Trump Administration.
The documentation of this cruelty by lawyers, doctors, lawmakers, and immigrant rights advocates, along with the demonstrations around the country against Trump’s border policies, indicates a determination to denounce in words and deeds such policies. However, contending with both governmental white terrorism and free-lance white terrorists will require a range of formidable resistance within the courts, Congress, and in the streets. If we are truly moved by the cries of those victimized by white terrorism, we must fight to disband ICE, demilitarize the border, decriminalize those seeking refuge, and disarm, both figuratively and literally, all of the perpetrators and advocates of white terrorism.

Renault sponsored our team to design a futuristic autonomous car concept.
We visited Stanfords Automotive research center and learnt about autonomous cars.
We ideated and brainstormed concepts by sketching and creating physical prototypes.
An autonomous car that can go anywhere to deliver barbecues as a service.
A full scale mockup of the concept made out of wood, foam, paint, etc.
We presented our concept to executives at Nissan Research Center in Silicon Valley.
Renault sponsored our Industrial design class and asked us to imagine a world with completely autonomous cars.
We were given a car (Twizy) to test out our concept. We broke down the car to just it’s chassis to build a full scale model of our concept FoodPop.
Since self-driving cars are not fully autonomous yet, we decided to visit the center for automotive research at Stanford to learn more about this futuristic technology. We also talked to the team of engineers at Renault working on autonomous vehicles.
Through secondary research we learnt more about the technology Stanford and Renault plan to use for their autonomous vehicles. Using this we approximated the placement of five different equipment - LIDAR (blue), Long Distance Camera (Green), SRCamera (Orange), Ultrasonic seniors (Red), LD Radar (Yellow).
To think about the future context our design would occupy, my team and I preempted the future we would be designing for by world building, and creating a narrative for our autonomous car project.
The Seamless Future: Omniscient Data : High Infrastructure In the Seamless Future we are completely connected to the city and the city is connected to us. When we move through the city, transport and pathways are timed for our arrival and optimized for your destination. It’s a future where getting lost is an impossibility.
The Neighborhood: Limited Data : Low Infrastructure Autonomous vehicles make longer commutes a time of relaxation rather than frustration. Suburban and community centered lifestyles have become very desirable. Even though many in these pleasant burroughs benefit from technology they value face to face interaction and community.
To design a future service that employs autonomous cars, we went through multiple sketching sessions. Our initial brainstorming was broad with crazy ideas...
Thinking of alternate ways to spend your time commuting to work, school, ect- Playing video games in your car, Using a swimming pool or Just sleeping on the way to work!
From all these concepts, we chose to center our idea on food. That’s something people can always get on board with. We focused on the idea of simplifying the process of making food, while keeping it communal.
The idea of FoodPop emerged.
An autonomous car that delivers a barbecue station anytime, anywhere.
FoodPop can work in any space: driveways, parking lots or large scale events.
We thought carefully about the space available in the twizy (car).
We built a full scale mockup of our concept with wood, foam, paint, etc. so we could visualize it fully.
An autonomous barbacue car that maximizes fun!
My team and I presented our findings to some executives from Nissan at Silicon Valley. Our prototype was displayed at the Nissan Research Center in Silicon Valley for a week.
Designing for the future: The future is immense and it’s hard to predict what technology can enable. As a designer I learnt to reimagine the use of technology to change the way we live and work.
Making assumptions about technology: Our concept was built on technology that doesn’t fully exist yet. This means our design is built on a lot of assumptions and guesses we made after intensive research. While building concepts it is important to build on research instead of getting caught up with what exists today.

This was the last stop for us on our trip to Kenya, and it was a relaxing way to end our safari. Getting to the lodge is a bit of a hike, but it is well worth it once you are there. The property is difficult to describe, but beautiful. The views of both the Indian ocean and the delta is unique and spectacular. Upon arrival we were greeted by the managers of the property, David and Lara. They are wonderful, and made us feel very welcomed. The room is completely covered, but has no walls, so you are completely exposed to the fresh air. It was lovely to fall asleep to the crashing waves and wind. The king size bed sleeps well, and also has netting. The shower was a little rough when it was windy, but nice and warm. The beach is secluded allowing you privacy. Sand-yachting is a must do! Each meal was freshly prepared and tasted wonderful. Overall, the Delta Dunes is a must if relaxation and peace is what you seek.

Floyd, a black man who was handcuffed, died after Derek Chauvin, a white policeman, pressed his knee against Floyd’s neck for almost nine minutes as Floyd said he couldn’t breathe. Chauvin is charged with second degree murder, third degree murder and manslaughter.
Three other officers present at the scene – Tou Thao, Lane and Kueng – are accused of aiding and abetting both second degree murder and manslaughter. All four officers were fired the day after Floyd died, which sparked protests that spread around the world and turned into a national race account in the United States.
Police were called to a convenience store in southern Minneapolis, where Floyd was suspected of passing a fake $ 20 bill. Lane’s video shows Lane drawing his gun when Floyd doesn’t immediately show his hands.
‘I just lost my mother’
“Please don’t shoot me, man,” said a crying Floyd. “I just lost my mom, man. I am really sorry. ”
Floyd tells officers he’s not resisting but is claustrophobic and just had COVID-19. Floyd pleads that he can’t breathe, and says “Momma” as he is held to the ground.
The fallout from Floyd’s death led to local policing reforms in many cities across the United States, including budget cuts, strangulation bans, disbanding of units, and shifting responsibility for non-emergency emergencies. violent to the police.


Moving with the changing times is how one keeps ahead, and India’s Ministry of Mines seems to have got this one correctly. The ministry has decided to give a major push to using of drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in order to increase India’s mining sector efficiency.
Whether it is area inspection, preparation and monitoring of mining plans, production and dispatch, or even checking and curbing illegal mining, drones can prove to be effective in every mining process.
Piyush Goyal, Union minister of mines, who is also incharge of power, RE and coal ministries, recently posted a tweet about utilisation of drone technology by Mineral Exploration Corporation Limited (MECL) in geological mapping to help determine its potential in regional exploration of greenfield land.
The minister has reportedly asked mining companies in the country to make use of all the modern and latest technologies that would help the future of mining in India.
In addition to asking the country’s state governments and public sector mining units into focusing on exploring the usage and deployment of drone technology in their respective organisations, the ministry has also ordered MECL, its exploration company, to purchase one or two drones soon and start using them in order to set an example for others to follow their lead.
At a recently held event, Balvinder Kumar, union mines secretary, asked Tata Steel to showcase the usage of the drones technology at its Noamundi Iron Mine (NIM), which is the first mine in the country to have successfully introduced drone in mine monitoring.
Bengaluru- based firm Skylark Drones, which specializes in drone application in various industries conducted the event. In addition to the union mines secretary, the event also saw the presence of some officials from Tata Steel and India Bureau of Mines.
“We have initiated mining surveillance system using space technology along with a mobile app. This will help in stopping illegal mining, monitoring mining plan, production, dispatch and royalty payment. We requested Tata Steel to demonstrate it in Noamundi iron mine,” said the secretary at the Skylark Drones organised event.
While mining sector has started thinking about drone-related possibilities in the field, power sector has already been extensively making use of drones and helicopters to execute transmission projects in extremely difficult terrains and much ahead of time.
Since assuming office, Minister Goyal has laid a lot of focus on using the latest technology in order to increase the efficiency of the Indian mining sector and lift it to an international level.
Balvinder Kumar recently gave a statement to DefenceAcviationPost that he had asked all Public Service Units (PSUs) including National Aluminium Company, Hindustan Copper Limited, National Mineral Development Corporation, Steel Authority of India Limited, Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited, Mineral Exploration Corporation Limited, Bharat Gold Mines Limited and MOIL to start making use of drones to significantly cut down on the time taken to complete a project.
A number of academic institutions of the country like the IITs are also contributing towards helping the mining ministry and PSUs in adopting the drones technology and how they can be designed as per the requirements of a mining organisation.
While Indian mining industry has started taking baby steps towards making use of drones in mining sector, globally, the usage of drones in mining is quite popular. For example, Rio Tinto, a global mining major, has been using drones to survey its mining pits for quite sometime now.

Burma Times Correspondent: July 28, 2015
Local administration has enforced a blockade on the village tract of Ang Dhang in Maungdaw South after local villagers resisted attempts by the Lawaka to register them as Bengalis.
In the morning, a huge team of Lawaka officials accompanied by police and Hlun Htein arrived in the village tract. Here they called some village elders and said they wanted to register everyone for the green card. The elders said no one wanted to show up for the green card registration and in spite of the best efforts they could not convince anyone.
The Lawaka then asked them to arrange a meeting with villagers in front of the local madrasa where they would convince everyone on the benefits of the green card. When around 15 villagers showed up, the security forces surrounded them with weapons and asked them to take them to their homes where they along with their family members will be registered for the green card.
However as soon as they reached their homes, the Rohingyas made a run for it and escaped from the clutches of the security forces. Seeing them running, the entire village also ran in whichever direction they could. In moments, the entire village was abandoned.
However one old man could not outrun the security forces. He was apprehended along with his wife and the woman was molested by security forces.
Two other men were also firmly in the grips of the police and they along with their family members were registered for the green card.
The escapade by the villagers made the police furious and they cursed at the Rohingyas in foul language.
At around 4pm, a Rakhine village administrator arrived in the village tract and announced over loudspeaker that from now on, the Rohingyas would not be allowed permission to leave the area. Under the laws of the state, Rohingyas need permission to move from one place to another, and the authorities declared that Ang Dhang Rohingyas will not be given that permission anymore.
It was also said that wherever Rohingyas would be found, they would be beaten up.

Death Factory, 2014
Six of the most notorious serial killers.... ARE BACK!
This review may contain spoilers (but it doesn’t matter; you’ll see or you won’t).
When fresh meat entered a makeshift bar/Museum of the Dead in The House of Thousand Corpses, 2003 (with the intent of looting it), Captain “Cutter” Spaulding (Sid Haig) showed them around, all the way to a ghastly and a bloody end. Then he laughed hard, as a TV commercial of Captain Spaulding’s Fried Chicken played on the television with Sid Haig hamming it up for the viewers and Rob Zombie to get the desired effect. And it works (for me) every damn time. Plus the precariously fried -chicken looks mouth-watering, soul-corroding delicious.
Death Factory aka The Butchers aka Borefest is an asshole film. I had to start with that introduction just to get motivated to write about Butchers. These days I’m getting motivated by all the wrong things that life has to offer or throw in my face.
A grainy, monochrome footage starts the film. I thought to myself, “if this is how the film is going to look throughout I’m getting high.” And when it turned out tht the film was anything but visually alluring, I still got high just to sit through.
The viewer isforced to make connections on their own. For instance the opening scene does not fit anywhere in the film, except the fact that Butchers has a back story, of sorts; however nonsensical, does not matter to Steven Judd (Shhh!, 2013); what does matter is the writers’ and the director’s infatuation with Serial Killers.
Stranded in the middle of a deserted highway, our bunch of passengers discover a town nearby. You know the rest. Desperation by Stephen King deals with similar a dilemma but without Collie Entragian, the sheriff who is a host to the King mega-villain Tak.
However, Butchers is so taciturn that it thinks we would know who the Real Estate dude is? Why is there only one man living in a completely deserted town? It’s easy this way, supposedly.
Among other highly annoying characteristics of Butcher the writers, Stephen Durham and David McClellan had to put in something so ridiculous, it is hard not to laugh at, very hard. For you see, this film is about – let me see- a hillbilly beating his wife/girlfriend to death before his kid kills him with a golf club. Golf club? OK. Jump to a inter-state bus ride with an assortment of Dead Poets Society. Then we have the loner, crazed and the jaundiced curator of the Death Factory. A museum that showcases memorabilia (and blood samples) of famous serial killers. By the way he also has the blood sample of Jack the Ripper.
“How the hell did you get this?”
“Good question. Next.”
Suddenly evil changes loyalties and Hotel Rwanda turns out to be a warlock? Who wants revenge for the Massacre of 1994? By using voodoo and bad make-up to resurrect souls of dead serial killers to unleash their fury on the travellers?
We see Ed Gein, shown to us as a man who is in full control of his faculties and chainsaw (Gein never used a chainsaw as far as I know), unlike the real fucker. Albert Fish is here; a young Fish who no one knew of but Steven Judd. The Zodiac also makes an appearance, dressed like a KKK member with a black hood. Ridiculous. Dahmer is shown preparing himself a meal as his victim is bound to a chair… a white male and he is also shown torturing a woman? Dahmer was more gay than Brüno ( the gay Austrian fashion journalist) and liked his victims non-Caucasian. And then we have the good doctor On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, the boogeyman of the Whitechapel district. Turns out Ash from Alien is a woman. No, Holm is not in this film but he was in From Hell, 2001. What is the connection here? Zero. Then why’d I mention it? For the same reason director Judd decided to start his film with a sequence that is completely irrelevant and disconnected from the rest of the film.
Lukewarm nudity (whatever the fuck that means), loads of cuss words, join the dots, paint by numbers, go figure, bad, disparately awful, artistically terrible, inaccurate, major loose ends and a very Twilight Zone ending that would genuinely make the viewers scared… back in 1934.
The hero, Simon is shown punching and flip kicking a young Albert Fish who reciprocates with high impact punches. Albert Fish? In another scene another unskilled to go actor is involved in a brawl with a short and stoic Dahmer. What the fuck is going on in this film??? Being inaccurate is one thing. Forcing fabricated history down the audiences’ throats is a crime. A crime of Allen Dulles proportions. I’m not laying it all down for you. Go read some.
A man should not be tricked into watching rubbish. Somebody fix the rating system on IMDb or demote the directors to boom operators. I’m sure they’ll suck at that too. Like Dahmer sucked dead cocks. Not shown.
Fucking hated it.
