Last week I published a brief round-up focusing on the highs of 2015, now here are a few predictions of what might be on the horizon for the South African beer scene in 2016.
The rise of the brewpub
Brewpubs are awesome. They’ve really got every base covered. If you’re the kind of beer nerd who likes looking at shiny brew kettles and quizzing brewers on fermentation temperatures, you have the brewhouse right in front of you. But not everyone cares which is the mash tun and which is the lauter tun, so at least with a brewpub, those who want to taste without the tour are also well catered-for. And those who don’t want to taste at all but like a bit of lunch can also be kept happy. Licencing issues in South Africa have largely left us with vast amounts of mini breweries sitting in industrial parks skirting city limits – not always areas that are top of your ‘where to take the family this weekend’ lists. But in smaller towns, industrial zones often sit close to main centres; farms are the perfect spot for a brewpub (once the hideous process of rezoning is over) and even in cities, entrepreneurs are opening brewpubs in industrial areas. Tourism and beer are starting to walk hand-in-hand in South Africa, and I hope/expect/would love to see more brewpubs opening in 2016.
It’s not an easy thing to get right. You’re essentially running two businesses – a brewery and a restaurant – and the latter are notoriously difficult to get off the ground. Back in the late 90s/early 00s, the brewpub bubble burst in the States, but if SA brewers get a restaurateur on board, ensure their beer is top notch and open in an area with enough foot traffic, I strongly feel the brewpub could become a South African institution.
I’m not talking about homebrewing here – we all know that that hobby is already in full swing in South Africa. What I’m referring to is breweries that allow your average Joe/Joanne to come in and brew a batch of beer. I don’t want to harp on about licencing, but it’s a total pain in the arse to set up a microbrewery in SA, and for those who want to brew on a professional system and perhaps even sell their beer, the communal brewery idea is a winner. It’s already firly popular in the States and the UK, with places like Saugatuck Brewing Co and Hillside Brewery offering the chance to pick a recipe and join the brewery to create a beer for a wedding or other special occasion. Others, such as The Brew Kettle in Ohio and Ubrew on the Bermondsey Beer Mile in London specialise in letting outsiders come in to create a beer on their system. We’ve already seen a nod in this direction in 2015 – Copperlake’s Brew Your Own package has been a huge success, while there are two places in Cape Town offering a ‘brew a beer for your wedding’ package ( Beerspoke, operated out of the Brewers Co-op, and the similarly-named but entirely unrelated Bespoke Brews).
In 2016, look out for Growler Brewing Co, whose website promises to “offer the small guy out there the opportunity to brew his/her own beer and take their product to the retail market”. And keep an eye out for other craft breweries offering a similar service this year.
While it seems like something of an oxymoron, the session IPA is a thing. The BJCP defines “session strength” as under 4% ABV and while breweries marketing session IPAs have lowered the alcohol level from the customary 5–7.5% range, few have managed to get under 4%. I suppose you could say that a hop-bomb under 4% is really a pale ale, but ‘session IPA’ has a much more marketable ring to it, so I suspect the term will travel to South Africa. And why shouldn’t it? We’re really starting to love hops here, but we also love our all-day-drinking weather. The beer crowned best in show at the 2015 Cape Town Festival of Beer was BrewDog’s Dead Pony Club – a fabulously hopped pale ale coming in at 3.8%. We want hops but we also want super-sippers that we can drink all day at the cricket. Brewers: bring on the session IPAs – we’re waiting for them.
Choosing a gluten-free beer has become quite the trend in other beer-drinking nations. The jury still seems to be out on just how much gluten a beer contains, but very few meet the requirements of them being less than 20 parts per million (of gluten) – the figure to hit if you want your beer to bear the gluten-free stamp. South Africa’s first gluten-free beer was Red Sky’s Goshawk, which uses a traditional SA grain in lieu of barley – sorghum – along with maize. Like its murkier, longer-established brethren, umqombothi, the beer is an acquired taste, but that hasn’t stopped other brewers from attempting to go gluten-free. Boston are working on a gluten-free version of the flagship lager, and bottles of BrewDog’s Vagabond have been flying off the South African fridge shelves. Both feature malted barley as their base and use a process to remove gluten once the brew is complete. I expect to see other brewers experimenting with gluten-free beers, particularly using alternative grains, in 2016.
I’m not going to go into the benefits of packaging a beer in a can here – I’ll leave that for another post (coming in the next couple of weeks) but in 2016 I think you’ll start to find more canned craft beers in our fridges. Nottingham Road was the first to can their brews back in 2014. Last year, Kruger Brau, a brand new brewery in the northern Free State, launched its range exclusively in aluminium cans. And then Devil’s Peak brought their lager and pale ale to market in brightly coloured cans – finally making South African craft drinkers sit up and take notice of the benefits of canning beer. I’m hearing rumours that another large player in the SA scene will be releasing cans this year and I imagine they won’t be the only one…
It won’t be news to you that the rand has been tanking of late. This sucks for South African holidaymakers trying to stretch their cash in lands of dollars, euros or pounds, but it sucks even more for businesses who rely on imports to create their products. While many South African craft breweries use SAB malts as a base for their brews, the absence of speciality malts here means that importing is essential if you want to create a range of beers. But as the rand weakens, it’s becoming more difficult to keep up (don’t be surprised if beer prices rise even further in 2016). At present a few nano-brewers are roasting SAB malts to mimic the flavours found in imported speciality versions but only one brewer that I can think of (buy Beer Safari if you want to know who) is actually malting his own. Perhaps we will see a couple of micro-maltsters in 2016, producing locally grown, malted and roasted grain.
Breweries to watch this year
And finally, here are a few breweries to keep your eye on in 2016. In case you haven’t yet heard the Worst Kept Secret in craft beer, Jack Black will be expanding this year and launching its own brewery. Expect experimentation from the well-established brand. That’s all I’m saying. Likewise, the team at Darling have finally opened their own brewhouse and new additions to the long-standing range are just flowing out of the Swartland town. Wild Clover in Stellenbosch are currently upgrading their equipment, while up in Gauteng, Mad Giant are opening what I’m sure will be a very funky tap room and brewery in Newtown, Johannesburg and do keep an eye on Brickfields, who promise to brew big things in 2016. Speaking of big things, it will be interesting to see how the impending merger of the world’s two largest beer companies into a beermoth (haha, geddit – it’s a play on behemoth) that I like to call (S)AB-InBev will affect the South African beer scene.
And with an estimated 35 new breweries opening in 2015, you can expect to find much, much more beer this year. You can also expect to find much, much more Brewmistress – check back often to read up on the latest news or check out beer and restaurant reviews. Or better still, subscribe to never miss a post!

Kukup is situated approximately 170 miles (274 kilometers) southeast of Kuala Lumpur, the national capital, and 100 miles (161 kilometers) southeast of Malacca.
This part of Malaysia is very popular with tourists. To see why, get out and explore the fascinating natural and cultural attractions surrounding Kukup. Two places in the vicinity of Kukup are Sekudai, 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the southwest, and Johor Bahru, 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the southwest.
Johor Bahru, is another interesting place to head to. It is around 20 miles (32 kilometers) from Kukup and offers a great selection of things to do and see, such as Sultan Abu Bakar State Mosque, Istana Besar and Masjid Negeri Sultan Abu Bakar. Royal Johor Country Club, Palm Resort Golf and Country Club and Johor Bahru Old Chinese Temple are also good spots for checking out while you are in Johor Bahru.

As cellist Jody Redhage gathered her instrument and quickly shuffled to another class of eager schoolchildren in Park Slope, she couldn't help but think back to when she was their age.
"I was really excited it was a fourth-grade class because that's how old I was when I first started playing the cello," she said with a smile.
Redhage was one of 30 cellists who were invited to Public School 321 for what was dubbed a "Bach Invasion." Each of the 1,360 students was given a taste of the musical stylings of Johann Sebastian Bach, the iconic classical music composer of the 18th century. The cellists went classroom to classroom, playing for the students and answering questions.
Redhage, 32, who just wrapped up a five-continent tour, said there was a stark difference between a sold-out 2,000-seat venue and a roomful of fourth-graders.
"It's much more challenging," she said. "There's not a single minute you can lose their attention. If the children are not interested, they'll let you know."
The Bach Invasion was the brainchild of famed pianist Simone Dinnerstein, whose child, Adrian, 9, is in the fifth grade at the school.
"I think about what would have been inspiring to me as a child," said Dinnerstein. "It would have been really wonderful to me if I had this when I was in school."
Dinnerstein said she came up with the idea about a month ago while on tour and quickly started calling other cellists trying to coordinate the day-long event.
"We're surrounded by pop music - and there's no way to get away from that - but not everyone is exposed to classical music," said Dinnerstein. "It was a long time to listen to music that requires a lot of concentration and [students] did a good job," she said.

Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, and Sean Connery are all Russian generals. At least in this set of images they are. These came from a site called ReplaceFace, where you can get your own personalized portrait as a general. I have to admit, I would gladly hang this portrait of Bill Murray over my mantle (if I had a mantle). What do you think of these composites?
It’s Friday, have a laugh. The crew over at The Verge put together this video of a (fake) camera that resembles a Polaroid by instantly producing a printed image out of it’s body. This model, made by Instagram, lets you add you own effects for an even more unique look at your images!
I can’t wait to buy one of these and start shooting professional looking wedding photos! [more]
Antonio Vicentini recently created this 8-bit gallery of cameras spanning pretty much everything from antique large format cameras through modern DSLRs. It’s a cute, semi-retro, nostalgia-inducing piece for anyone who grew up in the 80s or early 90s. What I find most interesting is how many cameras I was able to recognize; though I’m not sure if that means I’m an uber-dork who has spent far too much time in front of old game consoles and camera websites, or I’ve just got a killer memory. How many cameras do you recognize?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last couple of years, you’re probably familiar with LensRentals.com, which is one of the most popular camera gear rental shops in the world, if not the most popular. We recently had the chance to sit down with the LensRentals team and learn everything about what just might be photography’s most fascinating company. [more]
Quite often, aspiring photographers of the world turn to the almighty interwebs to find answers to “How to take photos of __________”. Sometimes, the better question is “How NOT to take photos of __________”. Here are some examples of how NOT to take portraits of families while you’re in your basement home studio. [more]
These days, it’s not uncommon for 90% of what I shoot to end up filed away in some hard drive on a shelf never to be used. In that library of images, I have my fair share of weird shots and bizarre candids. However they don’t hold up to what the blog Black and WTF showcases. I’m really at a loss for any more words. You’ll have to enjoy these for yourself to get why I have nearly laughed myself into a coma. Happy Friday everyone! [more]
A user on the popular social website Reddit was the first to bring our attention to this enormous Photoshop fail. A recent Target advertisement left one of the models sporting a little something extra. You won’t believe your eyes when you see this, nor will you believe that somehow, nobody caught the mistake. [more]
I don’t know if it really is the smallest camera in the world like makers Hammacher Schlemmer claim, but it’s probably the smallest camera that looks like a camera! It’s powerful 2 megapixel sensor can capture still images at 1600 x 1200 resolution and captures video at 30 fps at 640 x 480 resolution. It even has built-in autofocus! [more]
Nick Kelsh kindly brings us an ‘elegant’ video from the Kelsh Institite For Advanced Photograph Thinking on how to clean your precious lenses. We never had a great way to clean our lenses till now. Once you see this fantastic method, you’ll be convinced immediately. Thank you Nick, the results worked great on our lenses! [more]
At long last, the scientific breakthrough many of us have long been waiting for: A pill that we can take to get us out of an editing slump, increase creativity, or help us deal with clients. But beware: side effects may include high blood pressure, insomnia, color blindness, neck pain, and occasional dizziness.
The web is abuzz with comparison articles on which $3000 DSLR camera is the best bang for the buck. Kevin Good with CrisisLab recently did a side by side comparison of the Canon 5D Mark III and the Nikon D800 in several real world tests. His tests include Resolution, Rolling Shutter, High ISO Test, and Durability. Each test was conducted to the highest of standards and perhaps might be the most scientific review I’ve seen yet. Now off to Craigslist to find me some models! [more]
Let’s hope this is not what you look like when taking pictures. Admit it, we’ve all been guilty of strange poses. I’m sure these shots are also making you wonder if there’s a shot of you floating around depicting you in an odd pose. These shots really make it easy to laugh at ourselves as we sometimes see ourselves in their shoes, at least to a lesser degree. [more]
Check out what happened when Ellen Degeneres “directed” a photoshoot by telling the photographer exactly what to say to her models through an earpiece. I think Ellen got the potential to make it big in the photo industry. Don’t you think?
Randy Gregg has started a Kickstarter campaign to fund the development of a digital camera that is built to look just like a hunting rifle. It’s completely non-lethal, and pulling the trigger will store your images, complete with crosshair overlay, onto an SD card. For hunters and law enforcement this might be useful, but something tells me I won’t see this in a lineup next to a bunch of DSLRs when shooting public events. Hit the jump for some renders of the product and Randy’s Kickstarter.
You may recall that Rob Ashe and his fellow post gurus who work on the Conan O’Brien Show publicly bashed Final Cut X a while back. They’ve returned with a new video, proclaiming their love for Adobe Premiere, or as Rob refers to it, Final Cut Pro 8. Final Cut X has had several updates since it’s initial release, but is it still lacking? Have you made the switch? Are you cutting home movies in 4K?

i am not a spontaneous person. due to my anxious nature, i like everything i do to be planned days, weeks, even years in advance. (case in point: upon entering my second year of university i am already panicking about what i'm going to do when i leave.)
however, when my friend asked if i wanted to go with her to see the wombats at the last minute, a band i've wanted to see for the past five years (!!!) i couldn't pass up such an opportunity. and when i say last minute, i really do mean last minute. i got my ticket last tuesday, and the gig was on the thursday.
totally unlike me, but i kind of like that.
the gig was being held at the famous alexandra palace, a place i'd heard so much about but never been to, and i have to say i was suitably impressed, if not slightly out of breath, upon arrival. once you climb the hill up to the decadent hall, you are greeted with the most spectacular view of london (though that picture really doesn't do it justice). my relationship with the city is a tumultuous one, but i did weaken when i saw the bright lights blinking back at me.
inside, things were just as mesmerising. the first thing i heard when we walked into the room was the thumping bass, the one where it's so loud you can feel it in your chest, and shimmering synths of the support act, prides. my knowledge of this band extends only to that one song, but i've had it on repeat since i got back. despite having never heard of this band, hearing that song felt like i was home, like this is where i belong, where i'm supposed to be.
as i said, my love affair with the wombats began when i was fourteen (nearly six years ago!!), and drinking cider in the street on the way to the gig took me back to a ritual i've never experienced, but is commonplace for so many teenagers (my relationship with alcohol didn't start until i was seventeen). this sense of nostalgia continued when the wombats took to the stage, but these were feelings i could most definitely relate to.
the set list, as far as set lists go, was pretty good overall, though my friend and i did lament the absence of headspace (the perfect getting the fuck over it anthem*), a track from their third and most recent album and a favourite of ours. fans of the band's debut, a guide to love, loss & desperation may have been disappointed that the set list mostly contained tracks from their second and third albums, but as these two are my favourites, i was more than happy. (*results may vary)
for the most part, glitterbug deals with ideas of longing, desire and obsession. it appeals to the part of me i'd never want to even admit ever existed, the part that spent so much of my teenage years wanting people i'd never have, creating this fantasy in my head, this "perfect" relationship, whatever the hell that is. this album however, gives me a space in which i can explore those feelings under the guise of someone else's lyrics. that for me is the beauty of music, how these words can be so deeply and painfully personal to an individual, yet affect such large volumes of people. i'm willing to bet that the majority of people at alexandra palace that night have felt some of these feelings at one point or another, and i find this incredibly reassuring.
the show opened with give me a try, a song that resonated so deeply with me that i remember watching the music video about six times in a row the day it was released. singing those lyrics at the top of my voice, after spending months practising them in my room, was one of the most satisfying feelings i've had in a long time, not least because they're just so fucking relevant. this could be worth the risk, worth the guarantee, sings matthew murphy, and i actually believe him. these lyrics could be applied to relationships, but also just life in general. putting yourself out there is fucking terrifying, but it's this belief that it's going to be okay, that's it's going to be worth it, that keeps us going.
up next was jump into the fog, one of my favourites from their second album, this modern glitch. murphy is most definitely not shy when it comes to discussing themes around mental illness in his lyrics, something i really admire given the stigma that people dealing with such issues face in our society today. we feel nothing so jump into the fog, in the hope that we hit the ground upright, goes the chorus, and i feel it. or rather, i don't. that kind of emptiness that can swallow you whole if you let it, the kind that can only be remedied by taking that leap. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but ultimately these lyrics serve as a reminder that we just have to keep going no matter what the outcome.
the band got everyone going with moving to new york, a fan favourite from their first album a guide to love, loss and desperation, then brought us back down to earth with their commentary on the state of 21st century society, 1996. honestly though, as much as i agree with most of what this song has to say (we kiss with one eye on our TV set, though even this sounds dated now given the rise of online platforms such as netflix), it's the desperation and despair that really gets me. the more i give, the less i get, laments murphy, and i feel his pain, having repeatedly put myself out there again and again, only to get nothing back in return.
this painful longing continued with be your shadow, another favourite of mine from glitterbug. sometimes you like someone so much that it physically hurts, and that feeling for me is the backbone of this song. lyrically it's dark, but their signature synth-pop sounds make it slightly brighter. i'm permanent now i won't go, i just want to be your shadow. this is devotion in its most avid form, and i'm almost ashamed to admit that i relate so strongly to these lyrics. i admire murphy for his honesty and only wish i could do the same, but there's only so many times one can face rejection before retreating back into the darkness.
aside from crowd favourite techno fan, the highlight of the show for me was the encore. the wombats took to the stage once again to thunderous applause, and launched into a rendition of dreamy electro-ballad isabel. i say launched, but it was more of a gentle push. while the song struggled to retain the attention of the crowd around me, i stood transfixed, trying to get a better view of the stage (needless to say i wasn't successful; one of the downfalls that come with being 5'2 and a half) (the half is important okay), and letting myself feel the pain within these lyrics. you make it feel as though i've won, and that the hardest parts may never come. they will, of course they will, but having that one person in your life who makes everything okay cushions the blow somewhat. but because of your feelings towards them, they have this power over you, making it impossible to forget about them, even when shit hits the fan. i'm much better isabel, when you're ripping my life apart. why do we do it to ourselves? why do we stay when we know it's bad for us?
these questions are explored further, yet remain unanswered in greek tragedy, one of the songs that drew the set to a close.
i love this feeling
but i hate this part
i wanted this to work so much
i drew up our plans on a chart
obsession at its finest, especially for the anxious among us, the meticulous planners.
it's all in the details. i want perfection, and i'll stop at nothing to get it, no matter how many times i trip and fall on the way up.
she hits like ecstasy
comes up and bangs the sense out of me
it's all going wrong. you're losing everything to this person, this feeling, but you can't stop.
why can't you stop?
it's wrong but surely worse to leave
that's it. it drives us mad, but we can't live without it. maybe we even revel in it, because it's better to feel something, no matter how painful, than nothing at all. better to have loved and lost, etc.
is it? is it really?
so free up the cheaper seats
here comes a greek tragedy
this is the climax. you know it's all gone wrong, it's turned to shit, but you let it happen. brace yourself and dive straight in. embrace the chaos and see where it takes you.
and that's exactly what the wombats did, and have been doing since the start. it was madness, that night at ally pally, but in the best possible way. i drank, i danced, and i tried to shake off some of those demons that have followed me around for the last few years, though whether it was successful remains to be seen.

Today I spoke by telephone with former Vandercook and Sons employee Bill Critchlow who worked for there from 1961 to 1971. While a student at the University of Arizona, Mr. Critchlow met his future wife Lynn, daughter of company president E.O. Vandercook. After marrying, he attended dental school at the University of Pittsburgh. Afterward he was invited to work for the company in Chicago where he started in the assembly room. Later he joined the sales department and eventually became VP of Marketing. Mr. Critchlow traveled the US and abroad promoting the Vandercook line. It was his idea to have a “Mobile Technical Center” an RV outfitted with an SP15. Mr. Critchlow vividly remembers the day chief engineer Burt Roozee pitched him the idea for the RO4-29 4-Color Offset Test Press using two paper cups. Later, it was Critchlow’s initiative to market Vandercook branded proofing supplies including Goldtone repro paper, repro inks, hand cleaner and roller wash. Laughingly, he said the roller wash was nothing more than mineral spirits dyed green, but customers swore that nothing worked as well!

Florida’s Waters Awash in Sewage Spills
Under DeSantis, More Inspections, More Pollution but Less Enforcement
Tallahassee, FL —Despite increasing pollution, Florida still lacks a coherent enforcement program, according to a new analysis by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). Especially acute are largely uncontrolled daily discharges of raw sewage into Florida’s fresh and marine waters and onto its streets, which is then flushed into nearby waterways.
Florida suffered some 30 million gallons of raw sewage spills in 2021, as recorded in 900 emergency alerts from just 12 counties. This figure is likely a major underestimate since 60% of the known surface water dischargers did not report the volume of sewage released.
Sewage spills result from nearly every tropical system, and even from daily thunderstorms. Nonetheless, the state’s domestic wastewater program had the lowest enforcement rate in 2021, with just 9% of violators charged. Further, it saw a 16% decrease in inspections from last year.
“Almost daily sewage discharges have become a way of life in Florida. Our wastewater treatment facilities are clearly not designed to handle the inflow of sewage and rainfall that has become common,” stated Florida PEER Director Jerry Phillips, a former enforcement attorney with the state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), noting that increasingly higher levels of nutrients in state waters are killing off seagrass and sparking toxic red tides. “Despite a growing water quality crisis, meaningful enforcement designed to curb this major source of pollution is virtually nonexistent.”
PEER’s annual review of Florida’s overall pollution enforcement program found that, after a somnambulant 2020 in which inspections plunged, inspections more than tripled in 2021. Those increased inspections also uncovered significantly more pollution violations, yet DEP –
- Opened substantially fewer enforcement cases than the year before, taking formal enforcement against just 10% of the noncompliant facilities, a recent record low rate;
- Brought no formal action against nearly half (45%) of significant violators; and
- Actually collected less than half (43%) of the civil penalties assessed, which, while a slight uptick from 2020, continued a marked decline in recent years.
Further, by making liberal use of Compliance Assistance Offers (a tactic initiated under former Gov. Scott), DEP allowed most polluters the opportunity to have their violations “forgiven.” Since DEP has no limit on how many free passes are issued, repeat violators can easily skate.
“To put things in perspective, judged by the volume of enforcement, DEP 2021’s performance is still only 44% of the agency’s 2010 performance,” added Phillips who has been reporting for PEER on DEP’s enforcement metrics for 19 years. “Traditionally, DEP has been an agency beholden to developers and industry while relying upon photo-ops to showcase stewardship. Until that changes, DEP will continue to stand for ‘Don’t Expect Protection.’”

Cosplay is actually a word which has been coined from the words costume and role play. This is where numerous superhero signature Adult Halloween Costumes are used by their adept fans to glorify them and embrace their character into their own. This is common during different occasions like Halloween and dress-up parties whereby each individual is supposed to dress like one of their most favorite comic characters. There are so many of these superheroes and superheroines such as X-Men and Batgirl.
The best way to rock the Batwoman Cosplay costume – As the title suggests X-Men comprises numerous characters all with different supernatural powers and definitely different costumes. Probably the most common characters are; Professor X, Phoenix, Beast, Iceman, and Cyclops, and others because they keep growing and rotating in character. And this includes, you will find people that have a wider fan base as opposed to others which is actually all because of how their character is based.
To find the best costume you need to be acquainted with the character and how well you capable of relate to their side of freakiness. Concentrate more on the costume apart from body physiques like height and girth. The reason being when the selection of character might be taller you are unable to do much to increase your natural height. Practice it for enjoyment, cosplay is supposed to be fun-filled and you should not go overboard to the extent of stressing you to ultimately appear to be your superheroes, also, they are not perfect the truth is.
The costume should be decent, to rock you must keep your dignity in as much as you need to attract the eye. Decency will translate to confidence and the cabability to fully take advantage of the role play since you will make certain you are flawless. Many of these costumes are created from spandex, this implies they have a tendency to suit tightly to the body. This could be an enormous problem because as a result of sweating, removing and adaptability could be tricky. It’s best, therefore, with an undergarment known as Batman Batgirl Batwoman Cosplay Costume. Buy your costume over time in order to avoid late hour rush that could cost you your required make and size. Early planning is not only for that serious events in your life but also in cosplay. You should do an early shopping in order to avoid any inconveniences that could have lateness.
One of many key elements considered within the costume is the color and pattern from the outfit. Because the outfit often conveys the character’s roles and emotions, vibrant colors can be used for the protagonist whereas somber colors are for antagonist. Feminine characters often have soft color tones like pink, yellow and red while Male characters have been in blue, gold, red and white. Various other colors may also be put into match the character’s personality.
Can one wear the contrary sex’s outfits? One certainly can! Many anime characters who are classified as “bishounen” or feminine-looking male characters are popular and incredibly accepted. A female can cross-dress being a male and vice-versa. The key criteria here is the fact that wearer must have distinguishable characteristics in the opposite sex in order to take part in the role with no difficulty.
Looking after the Ms.Marvel Carol Danvers Catsuits Cosplay Costume depends upon whether one could be employing it regularly or for just a one-off. Clothes which are regularly worn needs to have durable fabrics and stay easy to clean. These costumes can be quite a bit expensive; however in pwikof of long-term investments, you can certainly spend less. Disposable outfits on the other hand are the types which are for starters time use only. These are cheaper but less durable as these may last for a shorter time than the most costly ones.
Cosplay is designed for the fans to have interaction and relish the creativity behind their comic superheroes and superheroines. Only shop through the well-established stores to avoid getting scammed. Have you been thinking about buying X-MEN Cosplay Costumes? or Batgirl Cosplay Costume?

In the contemporary agricultural arena, the uses of pig meat extend beyond culinary delight, encompassing various industrial and pharmaceutical applications.
Successful pig marketing hinges on strategic branding, market diversification, efficient supply chain management, and proactive consumer engagement.
Pig meats are marketed in the form of:
Fresh meat – This is the most important product in the tropics in general, as processing facilities are limited. Pigs destined for the fresh meat trade are usually slaughtered at younger ages and at lower weights (porkers) than those used for processing.
If sold in the commercial markets, the carcass can be butchered into a number of wholesale cuts which can be cooked and eaten in a number of different ways.
Cured products – These include the various kinds of bacon and hams which are curd in brine and can also be flavored by hanging in smoke to increase the shelf life of the product compared with fresh meat. Bacon and ham are derived from the baconer category of pig, which is heavier than porker.
Other processed products- Included in this category are all the various types of sausages, pies, luncheon, meats, hamburgers, and mat pastes.
These tend to be produced from the lower value of the porker and baconer carcasses, or mature sows and boars.
Lard (pig fat) – This is sold as a separate product for human feed, animal feed, or soap production.
Pig skin – Pig skin can be made into valuable leather.
Bristles – These can be used for brushes and are in special demand for shaving and paint brushes.
Intestines – Are used for sausage casings.
Offals – These are all edible ad the liver in particular is a delicacy.
Blood – This is collected separately and processed into sausages and other delicacies for those who consumed it.
Slaughterhouse by-products – Bones, blood, and inedible meat tissue are converted into animal feeds.
Hoofs – These are used for gelatin and glue products.
In conclusion, the final phase of pig production is the sale and disposal of the end product. The pig is extremely versatile in terms of the number of products that can be derived from pig meat.
The stress of transporting pigs to the slaughterhouse can result in pigs dying in transit, dying in lairage at the slaughterhouse, or reducing meat quality in the carcass.
Measures taken to minimize stress transit include: Ensuring that the loading ramp is properly designed with solid walls and is at the correct height for the cart, truck, or trailer, the pigs must be handled quietly and gently at all times.
While inside the lairage, it is important to pen the pigs waiting to be slaughtered under shade and in small groups and sprayed with water, and feed only if there are long delays before slaughter.
Immediately after stunning the animal should be suspended by its hind legs, and the blood vessels of the neck completely severed to ensure thorough and complete bleeding.
By immersing the carcass in water at 65 to 75ºC, the hair is loose and can be removed by scraping. Any excess hair can be burnt off by a flame.
The main systems of marketing pigs are Private sales, Public sales, direct sales to an abattoir or butcher, and Contact sales.
Pig meat is marketed in the form of Fresh meat, Cured products, and other processed products- Included in this category are all the various types of sausages, pies, luncheon, meats, hamburgers, and mat pastes.

Diversified Applications of Pig Meat and Strategic Marketing in Modern Agriculture
Pig farming has long been a cornerstone of the agricultural industry, providing a versatile source of high-quality meat and other valuable by-products. Below are the multifaceted uses of pig meat and the nuanced strategies required for effective pig marketing in the contemporary agricultural landscape.
1. Uses of Pig Meat
1. Culinary Versatility: Pig meat, known as pork, boasts an extensive array of culinary applications. From succulent roasts and tenderloins to cured hams and bacon, pork is celebrated for its versatility, richness, and unique flavor profile. Chefs and consumers alike appreciate its adaptability, making it a staple in diverse cuisines worldwide.
2. Industrial Applications: Beyond its culinary uses, pig meat serves as a critical ingredient in various industrial processes. The production of gelatin, used extensively in the food industry for its gelling properties, is one example. Additionally, pig fat finds application in the production of biodiesel, further highlighting the resourcefulness of this commodity.
3. Pharmaceutical and Medical Utilization: Certain components derived from pig meat, such as heparin, are vital in the pharmaceutical sector for their anticoagulant properties. Moreover, pig-derived products are employed in the manufacturing of surgical sutures and medical devices, reflecting the indispensable role of pig meat in advancing healthcare technology.
2. Pig Marketing Strategies
1. Branding and Differentiation: Establishing a unique brand identity is paramount in a competitive pig market. Emphasizing product quality, ethical farming practices, and sustainable production methods can distinguish one’s offerings from the competition and foster consumer loyalty.
2. Market Diversification: Identifying and tapping into various market segments, including gourmet restaurants, specialty food retailers, and the pharmaceutical industry, can broaden the scope of pig meat sales. Understanding the specific needs and preferences of different consumer groups is instrumental in tailoring marketing approaches accordingly.
3. Supply Chain Management: Implementing efficient supply chain practices, such as streamlined distribution networks and optimized storage facilities, is pivotal in maintaining the quality and freshness of pig meat products. This ensures timely delivery and minimizes product spoilage, bolstering customer satisfaction and fostering long-term relationships with distributors and retailers.
4. Consumer Education and Engagement: Educating consumers about the nutritional benefits, culinary versatility, and sustainability of pig meat can stimulate demand and foster a deeper appreciation for the product. Engaging in transparent communication regarding production methods and emphasizing animal welfare practices can also cultivate trust and credibility within the target market.
By embracing these approaches, agricultural stakeholders can harness the full potential of pig farming and navigate the dynamic landscape of the global market with resilience and ingenuity.

Rapper Jay-Z said it best: “I’m not a businessman, I’m a business, man.”
The hip-hop legend has plenty of rap songs about being a billionaire and now he is one. Forbes announced on Monday, June 3 that Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, is the first hip-hop artist to become a billionaire because of smart investments in real estate, businesses, and art.
“Less than a decade later, it’s clear that Jay-Z has accumulated a fortune that conservatively totals $1 billion, making him one of only a handful of entertainers to become a billionaire — and the first hip-hop artist to do so,” Forbes’ Zack O’Malley Greenburg wrote.
The rapper reportedly has a $70 million stake in Uber, a $70 million art collection, and $50 million in various real estate holdings and in his music catalog, according to Forbes. The hip-hop artist also owns his own music streaming…

This week's new-to-me recipe from the Gooseberry Patch "Recipes for Comfort" cookbook is "Creamed Dried Beef".
I've had Creamed Dried Beef before but this was my first time making it.
I served it over toast and it was so good!
1/4 lb dried beef
4 T. butter
3 T. all-purpose flour
1 cup hot milk
1 cup light cream
1/4 tsp pepper
Separate the dried beef slices, set aside. (I cut mine up into pieces)
In a medium saucepan melt butter then sprinkle in flour. Stir mixture until well blended.
Add milk and continue to cook over low heat, stirring frequently.
Slowly blend in cream, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and is smooth.
Add pepper and dried beef; stir and continue to heat until warmed throughout.
Makes 4 servings.
That's on our menu for this week also. Haven't had it in a while so today's the day.ReplyDelete
I love Goosberry Patch books and have several of them. My husband has Celiac so I thicken with potato starch and it works quite well.
Having the Creamed Dried Beef over potatoes looks yummy! I'll have to try it :)Delete
Thank you for sharing at Tuesday Turn About! Love seeing vintage recipes!ReplyDelete

What is Collagen
You will have no doubt heard about and seen the popularity and coverage of collagen grow over the past decade; collagen on the television in advertisements and on the news and the wondrous creams and serums available containing this new mysterious ingredient.
Do we actually know what collagen is? Is it a scientific discovery that has enabled us to turn back time? Scientific? Certainly not; Collagen has been around for millions of years and has been with you your entire life!
The Standard Definition
The word “collagen” comes from the Greek “cola” (Glue) and “genno” (Build), essentially translating into the building blocks of our skin. Hearing the word collagen, we automatically think wrinkles and more often than not, injections. Collagen acts as a protein-based barrier that protects our skin from unwanted lines & wrinkles and is also a protein which comes in numerous different forms, each type is a protein structure making up connective tissue, which connects, binds and shapes organs within our body.
Collagen also acts as a supporter, protector and mediator for the nourishment of cells, and at the same time renews and regenerates properties within the body. Moreover, collagen is responsible for among other things for the proper moisture and condition of the skin.
Facts about Collagen
Even more facts ….
- Collagen is the main structural protein found in animal connective tissue
- The quality of collagen within the body directly effects the bodies health and appearance
- Women who go through menopause can lose up to 30% of their collagen within 12 months
Collagen can be found throughout the body and it is exchanged / renewed in the same way blood is renewed. Below is a list of the areas collagen is found and their respective renewal timeframes.
|Epidermis (Skin)||130 – 140 Days|
|Bones & Joints||12 Months|
|Nervous System||12 Months|
|Blood Cells||3 Months|
Collagen and the Ageing Process
From the age of 25 human skin slowly begins to lose its elasticity and firmness, muscles begin to lose strength, and bones lose calcium. All of these symptoms of human aging are the result of progressive deficit of soluble collagen, whose biosynthesis grows weaker with age.
The rotation of collagen within the body still takes place as we age however the older we get the more the degradation process begins to outweigh the synthesis, especially the synthesis of soluble collagen. You start to get sick more often, you look and feel tired, our eye sight isn’t as strong as it once was, this is the ageing process.
After thirty years of age, in virtually every human being we see a disappearance of the sebaceous glands and sweat glands, and progressive drying and thinning of the skin and wrinkles appear.
This happens as a result of weakening of elastin and collagen fibers, which are the most important components of connective tissue stroma. Free radicals, toxins, and an enzymes destroy the protein fibers, and the levels of micronutrients and vitamins in the body decreases which stimulate natural production of collagen by fibroblasts, and chondrocytes.
What Can Be Done? Let’s get one thing straight – ageing is part of life and no product or procedure (regardless of claims) can turn back time, the cosmic clock is always ticking however the phrase beauty is only skin deep is not necessarily true. Now that we know collagen’s effect on our whole body inside and out we can take steps to improve our natural collagen production. Read more via the links below to find out about the products here at Collagen Pro and why natural collagen works with your body to boost your natural collagen production.

You’ve probably heard it before. “I can’t go to school; I have a headache,” or “I can’t practise piano today; I have a headache.” You’ve likely even brushed if off as an excuse, but if you have a tween, they might actually have a headache.
According to Dr. Dina Kulik, a Toronto pediatrician and emergency medicine doctor at SickKids Hospital, most children will experience headaches at some point, with some kids having more than others.
“We think that headaches are caused by changes in chemicals, blood vessels or nerves in the brain,” says Dr. Kulik.
Some girls experience headaches at certain times during the menstrual cycle as hormone levels change. Certain headache triggers such as too little sleep, dehydration, low blood sugar, stress, too much screen time (hours in front of the TV, computer, video games) and vision problems are very common.
She says some foods are associated with triggering headaches, such as cheese, chocolate, caffeine, processed foods, MSG and aspartame.
Less frequently, headaches may indicate an illness such as ear, sinus or viral infections or more dangerous illnesses such as meningitis or tumours. Luckily, headaches are only very rarely associated with these conditions.
“You should contact your doctor if your child has severe or recurring headaches on a regular basis or headaches are worsening over a short period of time,” says Dr. Kulik.
Dr. Kulik advises parents to discuss the issue with their child’s doctor if their child is having headaches more than once a month. “If persistent, your doctor may choose to order blood tests, urine tests or sometimes brain imaging like a CT scan or a lumbar puncture, which is very rare.”
Luckily, most headaches can be treated at home with little medical intervention. Try easing your child's pain with the following tips.
Seek medical attention if you notice the following signs and symptoms:

Listening to Yearwood’s new album, Thinkin’ About You, you would sometimes swear you were hearing Ronstadt circa 1976. Yearwood’s voice is thinner and more pliable than Ronstadt’s, but both resort to a hearty squawk when passion takes them over, and both possess low honey tones. But ultimately the two women are very different artists.
Feels Like Home is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Norah Jones, released on February 10, 2004, through Blue Note Records. It serves as the follow up to Jones' 2002 breakthrough album, Come Away with Me. At the 47th Annual Grammy Awards the album was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album. Sunrise", the album's lead single, won the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

The Board of Deputies of British Jews has suspended its membership with the European Jewish Congress because of sexual abuse allegations against one of its senior members and its failure to take action, according to a source close to the organization.
“The Board of Deputies of British Jews has suspended all activities with the European Jewish Congress due to concerns about how the Congress is handling misconduct complaints,” the BOD wrote on Facebook on Wednesday
The BOD would not comment on the reason for the suspension, but it is believed that this relates to a senior member of the EJCongress, who, despite allegations of sexual abuse of women and children, has retained his position. For months, the BOD has demanded decisive action, particularly after this member was connected to multiple allegations of sexual assault.
“There is a failure of EJC to take action, such as instigating an investigation or to seek to put safeguards around this leader’s activities in relation to ongoing humanitarian work, such as exposure to vulnerable young women, etc.,” said a source familiar with the Congress.
Lack of accountability
The accusations against this leader have never been reported to law enforcement. Members of other European Jewish organizations have looked into the matter without reaching any conclusion on the allegations of sexual abuse.
"[We] deeply regret the decision of the Board of Deputies of British Jews to end its activities as an affiliate and completely rejects claims that it has mishandled alleged complaints."
European Jewish Congress
“The EJC views very seriously any breaches of ethical conduct and will always act immediately to maintain the highest standards of any of its associates. We will not be commenting further on this issue at the current time in order not to prejudice the outcome of any independent investigation,” the EJC said in a statement.
The suspected leader has said that the allegations are entirely false, and that they were proven to be false by Jewish community leaders.

Previous red-carpet celebrity guests have been stars of the big screen: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Priestley, Derek Jacobi, Famke Janssen, Joseph Fiennes, Bond girl Eva Green and Mad Men star Jon Hamm, to name but a few. 50 Cent is joining that stellar line up as executive producer of Power. Take an edgy trip down celebrity lane to Cannes.

- Increase the depth of foundation:In normal cases soils have got greater bearing capacity at deeper levels due to the weight of the overlying material.
- By draining the soil:On increasing water content in soil its bearing capacity decreases.So by draining sandy soil and gravel by gravity pipe drainage system or by installing shallow tube wells,we can increase the bearing capacity.
- By grouting:Cement mortar can be injected under pressure in to the subsoil to seal off voids in between subsoil and foundation.
- By confining the soil:Sheet piles are driven around the structure to form an enclosure.This enclosing sheet pile prevent the movement of soil.
- Chemical treatment:Chemical solution are injected under pressure into the soil.This chemicals form a gel and keep soil particles together to form a compact mass.

Art, Thanks for your responce. I do have both references that you mentioned. I have also come across excerpts from soldiers letters & diaries that specifically mention the capture of two Blakely cannon at Cheraw, S. C. and use by the Third Michigan Battery.
While researching the Third Michigan Battery aka. Battery C First Michigan Light Artillery. I have found several references of the Battery taking possession of two Britsh made Blakely cannon captured by Gen. Sherman's soldiers at Cheraw, S.C. on March 3, 1865 and firing them at the Confederate forces across the Pee Dee river. These cannon were sent North at the close of the War as trophies. In 1896, one of these, which had a brass plaque affixed stating that that it had been "Presented to the state of South Carolina by a citizen residing abroad in commeration of the 20th December, 1860",was put on display in Grant Park, Galena, Il. The other one, I belive, still is on display in the Museum at Rock Island Arsenal, Rock Island, Il.
I am interested in learning more of the Confederate history, prior to the capture, of these remarkable Rifled cannon. I understand that they were employed at "Point Battery" on Morris Island, under the command of Capt.J.P.Thomas and Cadets from the Citadel Academy,during the bombardment of Ft. Sumter on April 12, 1861. But the record of use between that date and their capture 4 years later are vague.

'Lonely Planet guides are, quite simply, like no other.' - New York Times
'Lonely Planet. It's on everyone's bookshelves; it's in every traveller's hands. It's on mobile phones. It's on the Internet. It's everywhere, and it's telling entire generations of people how to travel the world.' - Fairfax Media (Australia)
The first thing that struck me was how slim it is. I had recently bought Lonely Planet's Southeast Asia on a Shoestring (2016), which dedicates over 970 pages to 11 countries. This book has about 480 pages for 21 countries. So roughly half the number of pages for about twice as many countries. I compared the coverage of Russia, the largest country in the world, with the other book's coverage of Singapore, a tiny city-state. Russia got 25 pages; Singapore had 33.
There is a jarring disjunct between the labelled maps and the sights described in the text. For just one example, the entry on Kyiv describes a grand total of 5 sights under 4 headings (p. 413). Kyevo-Pecherska Lavra, St. Sophia's Cathedral, and Maidan Nezalezhnosti each get a single paragraph, while another is split between Andriyivsky Uzviz and St. Andrew's Church. Meanwhile, the map of central Kyiv (pp. 416–417) and its key (p. 418) show 9 marked sights. Five of these — The Bulgokov Museum, Desyatynna Church Ruins, Museum of One Street, National Museum of Ukrainian History, and Peyzazhna Alleya — get absolutely no description. This book cannot stand on its own. Almost anything in here that interests you must be supplemented by information found elsewhere.
There are other weird choices. The introduction to Albania (p. 42) has an oddly vicious tone: "So backward was Albania when it emerged blinking into the bright light of freedom that it needed two decades just to catch up with the rest of Eastern Europe." Yikes. The map of Croatia (p. 110–111) would be helped by the addition of ferry routes, since the country's coast is an archipelago. I don't know what typographical gremlin is responsible for the spacing disaster on the key to Tallinn's map (p. 167), but it should have been exorcised before going to print. And although published at the end of 2017, the authors seem unaware of AirBnb. I know that some European cities are fiercely opposed to the platform, and some tourists avoid using it in those places — I don't know what the situation is in any of the cities described here. I appreciate the handful of hostels and hotels listed for each location, but I fear that the company whose finger was once firmly on the young traveler's pulse has put on some very thick mittens.
One final gripe: the Amazon description touts "Colour maps and images throughout." Not exactly. As is common with Lonely Planet guides, all of the photos are found in the book's very first section, and the maps are "colour" only in the most technical of terms. They're blue. After page 40, blue and black are the only inks used. I don't mind this at all — it's typical of many guide books — but the description on the site is misleading.
This book would make a good gift for a luddite looking for a superficial glance at a bunch of cool places, but for the rest of us, a few cursory online searches will turn up more information for a much lower cost. I really wanted to love this book, and I feel guilty leaving such a harsh review, but I waited for it for months, and it is so frustrating as to be almost useless.

Catalytic converter recycling company Key Metal Refining LLC announced it will be creating educational resources to educate sellers of scrap catalytic converters about the terminology and processes surrounding the sampling and assays of spent automotive catalyst.
“A lot of money is spent sampling and doing assays of the materials collected. Ultimately, the value is determined by an assay of a sample presumed to be representative of the entire lot. Very few people understand how much consideration needs to go into a good sampling protocol and how much the measured content could vary around the actual.
Minimizing the variance also adds more cost to the sampling process. Therefore, one needs to balance the costs of sampling with the overall value of the lot. Very few people understand the difference between accuracy and variance which leads to misinterpretation of results.” stated John D. Bruno of Key Metal Refining.
He went on to say about sampling systems “The challenge is to define accuracy and to prove that our sample is representative of a lot. We want to know the magnitude of the variance and that it varies around the actual content. To do this is technically challenging. It takes a lot of quality control and monitoring and constant checking and verification.”
Pierre Gy, arguably the most cited person in relation to sampling theory, echos Bruno sentiment saying “Sampling must be correct. If money is to be spent of sampling, the first end to be achieved is to eliminate all sources of sampling incorrectness. This is the only way of eradicating sampling biases.
The new educational information is set to be released during the second quarter of 2018.

Does Tesla Model Y come with Jack?
The Tesla Model S, Model 3, Model Y, and Model X are all equipped with Jack Mode, namely because they also all feature air suspension. Air suspension is what enables Teslas to self-level automatically, even when the car is switched off.
Where do you store spare tires on Model Y?
There is no well specifically designed for a spare tire in Tesla model Y, but you can certainly store a spare tire in the trunk; there’s plenty of room. See video showing trunk space.
What do Tesla owners do for a spare tire?
Your Tesla will not come with a spare tire/tyre, nor does it come with run flat tires/tyres, so if you get a puncture you are potentially stuck. Tesla offer a service where they will tow you up to 50 miles and possibly bring you a replacement wheel if you’re near a service centre, but this has a couple of problems.

In our fast-paced world, getting caught up in the never-ending cycle of emails, social media notifications, and constant connectivity is easy.
You know you have a problem if you feel a strong compulsion to check your phone multiple times every hour, even when it’s not appropriate or safe such as when you’re driving, during conversations or meetings, at the movies, or during dinner. If your phone addiction gets out of hand, breaking the habit and ditching your device might be necessary.
Try the following strategies for weaning off your smartphone before leaping into a digital detox:
- Please turn off your phone at least 30 minutes before bedtime, and leave it off for 30 minutes after you wake up.
- Try putting your phone into flight mode for gradually increasing periods. This way, you still have it close by if you need it, and can play music or take pictures, but you give yourself a break from the constant alerts and notifications.
This Easter weekend, however, it’s time to consider taking a digital detox. A digital detox is a break from technology, a chance to unplug from the online world and focus on reconnecting with ourselves, loved ones, and nature.
Here are some compelling reasons why you should take a digital detox this Easter weekend:
- Reduce stress levels
Research has shown that the constant use of technology can increase stress levels. Taking a break from digital devices can help you reduce stress levels and improve your mental health. Instead of checking your phone constantly, you can relax, meditate, or practice mindfulness.
- Improve sleep quality
The blue light emitted by digital devices can disrupt your sleep cycle, leading to insomnia and other sleep disorders. By taking a digital detox, you can give your brain a break from the constant stimulation and allow it to rest. This, in turn, can help improve your sleep quality and make you feel more refreshed and energized.
- Enhance creativity
The constant bombardment of internet and social media information can stifle our creativity. A digital detox can help you clear your mind, reduce distractions, and allow your creative juices to flow. You can use this time to engage in activities like drawing, painting, writing, or anything else that sparks your imagination.
- Reconnect with loved ones.
Technology has made it easier than ever to stay connected with friends and family, but it can also create a sense of disconnection. By taking a digital detox, you can spend quality time with your loved ones without distractions. You can have meaningful conversations, play games, or enjoy each other’s company.
- Appreciate nature
We often forget to appreciate the world’s beauty when constantly connected to technology. Taking a digital detox can allow you to spend time in nature, whether going for a walk, hiking or simply sitting outside and enjoying the scenery. In addition, being in nature has been shown to reduce stress levels, boost our mood, and improve our overall well-being.
In conclusion, taking a digital detox this Easter weekend can benefit our mental, emotional, and physical health. It’s a chance to unplug, recharge, and reconnect with ourselves, our loved ones, and the world around us. So, put down your phone, turn off your computer, and enjoy a few days of tech-free bliss. Your mind and body will thank you for it.

Hi doctor .I have very big nose. The nostrils and nose bone is big. Is rhinoplasty possible and how much time is required for rhinoplasty and what are the side effects. Best hospitals for rhinoplasty in India ?and what is the cost of rhinoplasty ?please answer my query doctor. Thank you.
Sometimes when I eat hot or spicy food I feel some mint feeling in my throat, what could be the cause. Please help.
I am Dr. Gambhir. I am a cosmetic and plastic surgeon in Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi. I have my cosmetic clinic in karor bagh by the name of Personna.
Today I’ll be talking on Rhinoplasty. Reason being I my self is a Rhinoplasty surgeon. Most of my practice involves Rhinoplasty. What I have seen in the past few years that most of the patients with breathing difficulty, they go to the ENT surgeon for Septal correction, but this is not going to solve all that problems. Just simple correction of the septum did not solve the breating problem. It requires the total of septal framework correction as a Rhinoplasty surgeon and as a plastic surgeon I have been trained to do a septal framework correction. Just the ENT surgeon, they do the septal part, but for the framework correction the involve the plastic surgeon. What I suggest that patient who have difficulty in breathing, who have debated as a septum, or who want a groped nose correction to be done should go to a person, to a doctor, who is qualified Rhinoplasty surgeon and who has been doing Rhinopasties. For those doctors, they are not going to solve just the breathing problem but give you an aesthetic correction simultaneously.

Chris Knight: In Honey Boy, LaBeouf is fearless in role inspired by his own father
This film based on Shia LaBeouf's own childhood experiences could come across as public therapy, but has a real sense of wounded humanity
You may recall that a few years ago the oddball actor Shia LaBeouf was in hot water over allegations of plagiarism, after critics noticed similarities between his short film Howard Cantour.com and a comic by Daniel Clowes. Puckishly, LaBeouf then compounded the problem by delivering an apology that was itself plagiarized.
But his newest film, Honey Boy – which he wrote and stars in but did not direct – would seem to avoid any scent of copying, being based on his own childhood experiences. He wrote the screenplay while in rehab, something the lead character Otis does in the film as well; art imitating art imitating LaBeouf’s life.
When we first meet Otis (Lucas Hedges, delivering a remarkably LaBeoufian cadence) he’s on the set of something that looks very much like the real actor’s breakout movie, Transformers. A drunken car crash and rehab follows, with Otis encouraged to look back at his life and make sense of it.
This is the film’s journey as well; it spends most of its time in the mid-’90s with 12-year-old Otis (Noah Jupe) working as a child actor while being raised by his ne’er-do-well dad James, played by LaBeouf. The alcoholic ex-con and former rodeo clown has little in the way of child-raising skills – Otis is part of the Big Brother program in spite of also having a father, and a meeting between said Brother (Clifton Collins Jr.) and his dad does not go well.
James has other talents, including one for getting into trouble. “I’m growing, son,” he tells Otis at one point, and both the boy and the audience expect some kind of emotional breakthrough until the old man continues: “I’m growing marijuana on the side of the highway.” This is how he plans to support the kid, although eventually Otis is earning enough to hire his dad as his chauffeur, turning the dysfunctional family relationship into a dysfunctional employer/employee one as well.
At its worst – and given LaBeouf’s recent penchant for weird performance art, the worst is never far away – Honey Boy could come across as nothing more than public therapy, with audiences paying to watch. But there is a real sense of wounded humanity in both the child and young-adult Otis, particularly when the former reaches out to a young woman (British singer-songwriter FKA Twigs) in a bid for comfort and companionship that may also cross the line into prostitution.
The film is the feature debut of director Alma Har’el, who has previously made documentaries and music videos. It’s well shot, and any shakiness in the structure, it could be argued, merely mirrors that of the life of its protagonist. As to LaBeouf’s performance in a role inspired by his own father, it’s a fearless portrayal of insecurity masquerading as swagger. Did the actor steal the essence of his father’s personality? Let’s be charitable and call it inspiration.
Honey Boy opens Nov. 29 in Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto, and wider on Dec. 6.
