As Edgecombe County’s school system faces another hurricane season, its leaders are looking for ways to better understand the students and families they serve.
Anxieties were beginning to lessen Friday as projections for Hurricane Irma headed west — away from the community still recovering from last year’s Hurricane Matthew devastation.
Edgecombe County Public Schools (ECPS) spokeswoman Susan Hoke said the district is prepared for potential damage. County officials picked two locations — a private school in Tarboro and a Baptist church in Pinetops — to open as shelters for displaced residents if necessary.
“It doesn’t look like it’s going to be nearly as bad as we thought,” Hoke said. “Of course, we didn’t think that with Matthew either.”
But on Thursday, when Irma’s path was less clear, school system leaders met to address greater issues embedded in the community. Former teachers in eastern North Carolina, Seth Saeugling and Vichi Jagannathan have researched the effects of trauma on families for months, focusing on east Tarboro. Their research is funded by an anonymous private donor and is housed within the Public School Forum of North Carolina. They presented their insights from interviews and meetings to representatives from several sectors: health, law enforcement, church, social services, and education.
“I believe it’s possible to break the cycle of trauma,” Saeugling said. “And that belief isn’t like pie in the sky. That’s rooted in science. That’s rooted in belief in people and community.”
Adverse childhood experiences, commonly referred to as ACEs, often show up in the form of abuse, neglect, or household dysfunction. Saeugling and Jagannathan emphasized the importance of the first three years of humans’ brain development. Eighty percent of the neural connections a brain makes in a lifetime, according to their presentation, occur in those three years. Traumatic events force young people deal with toxic stress, which is intense, prolonged, and prevents healthy brain development.
These traumas have been compounded by devastating natural disasters; both Hurricane Floyd in 1999 Hurricane Matthew in 2016 displaced hundreds and forced the historic town of Princeville to consider permanent buy-outs of their homes and leaving behind an entire town. Saeugling said the stress both children and adults are under, however, can feel like constant danger is imminent.
“Hurricane Matthew came last fall, and the hurricane is super real, and its impacts are super real,” Saeugling said. “But our kids get hit with a hurricane every day, and the hurricane is ACEs and trauma. And that reality is tough to grapple with.”
An individual who experiences trauma creates coping behaviors that often further harm themselves, like self-harm, aggression, or abuse, Jagannathan and Saeugling explained. Parents commonly lack the ability to understand where those behaviors stem from and may themselves be unable to respond positively due to their own trauma-caused mechanisms.
“When a parent is in trauma, their own survival mode makes it impossible for them to break that cycle with their child,” Jagannathan said. “When their kid is acting out, it’s not that they are consciously saying, ‘Oh, this kid is a problem, let me react harshly.’ Their reflex is ‘This stress is too high, and (how) I cope with these behaviors is problematic.'”
Jagannathan and Saeugling said people and systems frequently react to behaviors caused by trauma punitively instead of restoratively. Collective vision, skills and strategies, and resources are needed to intervene at every level of life. Their next steps are gaining input across agencies and institutions and figuring out how different sectors can connect to change the trajectories of people’s lives.
“It’s a solvable problem,” Saeugling said. “None of this is outside of our locus of control that makes it unsolvable.”
Both Jagannathan and Saeugling spent time living in the Bay area of California after teaching in eastern North Carolina through Teach for America. Through separate schooling and projects, they knew they wanted to return to what felt like home to both of them.
“There are, for better or for worse, a lot of communities in America that are similar to eastern North Carolina,” Jagannathan said. “I remain committed to proving that the reality for rural communities in America can be different. I feel like there’s an uncharacteristic amount of momentum around both east Tarboro and Edgecombe County and rural America that maybe we can capitalize on that.”
Meredith Capps, a project manager at Vidant Edgecombe Hospital, said that even if Hurricane Irma misses the region, she is worried about other storms throughout the next several weeks.
“We can’t handle but so much more rain,” Capps said. “And the scarier part is not even the first one that’s coming. It’s the possibility of two more coming in behind and we’re going to be saturated.”
For now, Pattillo Middle School principal Lauren Lampron, who attended Thursday’s meeting, said she and her staff are focused on creating an environment where kids feel safe no matter the circumstances outside of school. Since Hurricane Matthew left over 80 percent of the school’s population displaced, the school has started focusing on trauma’s impact on students. Every morning, students have a home room where they learn about emotional literacy, school-appropriate behavior, team-building skills, and self-regulation techniques for anxiety, anger, or fear.
“It allows the student to be in that calm environment to start their day,” Lampron said.
Students complete surveys during the same period on how they feel and what is going on in their lives. A guidance counselor reviews the surveys. The potential storm was not something they wanted to bring up with the students, Lampron said, since the projections were not yet solid.
“We didn’t want to induce stress if it would end up turning,” Lampron said, “which it appears it now has.”

The wounds of the Vietnam era are deep, and many of them were inflicted emotionally when soldiers returned home to a country in political turmoil, a country that treated too many Vietnam veterans not as heroes, but as ideological outcasts.
The Wall, the nation's memorial to soldiers who died as the result of the Vietnam War, provided a great deal of healing for many veterans. Local Vietnam memorials cropped up across the nation, but only years after the U.S. withdrew from Vietnam.
During Fourth of July activities in Cape Girardeau, a Vietnam memorial was dedicated, on the Common Pleas Courthouse Park lawn, that honors both those who died in the service of their nation and those who came home to more jeers than cheers.
It is a fitting monument of Missouri white marble.
In remarks during the dedication ceremony, Cape Girardeau County Presiding Commissioner Gerald Jones summed up on behalf of area residents:
"Real patriotism requires more than posting a flag in our yard. It requires action, commitment and a willingness to sacrifice for your country -- like our Vietnam veterans."

19 May 2016
American Press.com reports
Sens. Ronnie Johns, R-Sulphur, Dan “Blade” Morrish, R-Jennings and John Smith, R-Leesville, voted against concurring with the amendments. Sen. Eric LaFleur, D-Ville Platte, supported it.
The list of debilitating medical conditions contained in the bill include cancer, HIV/AIDS, Crohn’s disease, muscular dystrophy and multiple sclerosis. One amendment removed glaucoma and muscle spasms from the list. Mills, a pharmacist, said the amendments were recommended by the Louisiana Sheriffs’ Association.
The legislation would allow Louisiana-based physicians who are licensed and in good standing with the Louisiana Board of Medical Examiners to recommend, instead of prescribe, the drug to patients at its lowest acceptable therapeutic level.
Opponents of the measure argued during previous hearings that expanding the use of medical marijuana will lead to legalization of marijuana. Meanwhile, supporters said it would help treat symptoms associated with debilitating conditions. Katie Cokern said medical marijuana could help her 9-year-old son, Conner, who suffers from multiple seizures.
The House approved the legislation May 11 with a 62-32 vote. The earlier Senate vote was 21-9.
The bill sets a Sept. 1 deadline for the LSU and Southern University agriculture departments to decide whether they want to be the state-sanctioned marijuana growers. Ten licensed distributors also have to be selected.
House lawmakers voted 85-0 to approve a bill that would raise the age threshold for the criminal aspects dealing with victims of human trafficking.
S.B. 90, by Johns, raises the age threshold from 18 to 21. The bill returns to the Senate for concurrence on House amendments.

Published by JRP|Editions. Edited with text by Magda Radu, Georg Schöllhammer. Text by Ivana Bago, David Crowley, Tom Holert, André Lepecki, Magda Radu, Georg Schöllhammer, Kristine Stiles, et al.
This is the first comprehensive monograph on the Romanian-born, UK-based artist Paul Neagu (1938–2004), whose oeuvre transcends traditional artistic disciplines, and who was for several decades an important source of inspiration for young artists, curators and intellectuals. Neagu's philosophical approach led him to push the boundaries of the Western abstract tradition, which he first discovered clandestinely in Communist Romania. He continued to explore abstraction after relocating to London in 1971, where he became an influential teacher at the Slade, Chelsea School of Art and the Royal College (among his students were Antony Gormley, Anish Kapoor and Rachel Whiteread). Neagu's practice included performance, sculpture, drawing, painting, video, photography and poetry. He often promoted physical engagement with his more tactile works, underlining one of his enduring aims: to refute what he perceived as the primacy of visuality in art.

First, we collect and analyze statewide data using telephone surveys, hospital information, and death certificates, so we are able to know which groups of people are experiencing hypertension and the impacts of uncontrolled high blood pressure. This includes looking at geography, age, racial/ethnic status, education levels, and other demographic information. When the data is compiled, we make it available on the DOH web site. We estimate that in 2015, nearly 14,000 deaths and 71,000 hospitalizations were due to heart disease and stroke.
The findings mean that an additional 14 percent of U.S. adults, or about 30 million people, will now be diagnosed as having high blood pressure, compared with the number diagnosed before the new guidelines. This will bring the total percentage of U.S. adults with high blood pressure to 46 percent, up from 32 percent previously. [9 New Ways to Keep Your Heart Healthy]
Beta-blockers cause the heart to slow down and so some of their side effects can be traced to that mechanism of action. Dizziness, weakness, fatigue, and fainting are possible. Beta-blockers also affect the respiratory system, so other side effects include shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, and chest pain. Beta-blockers should not be withdrawn suddenly, as that could result in a heart attack or sudden death.
Much of the disease burden of high blood pressure is experienced by people who are not labeled as hypertensive. Consequently, population strategies are required to reduce the consequences of high blood pressure and reduce the need for antihypertensive medications. Lifestyle changes are recommended to lower blood pressure, before starting medications. The 2004 British Hypertension Society guidelines proposed lifestyle changes consistent with those outlined by the US National High BP Education Program in 2002 for the primary prevention of hypertension:
Because of the need for emergency care, it is important to recognize the early signs of malignant hypertension. The first giveaway is blood pressure of 180/120. You might have bleeding in the eyes due to rupture of the small blood vessels. Other malignant hypertension symptoms can include chest pain, dizziness, a headache, numbness in your extremities, and confusion.
Wear a blood pressure monitor. This monitor is attached to you. You will be asked to wear it for 24 hours. The monitor is usually programmed to take blood pressure readings every 15 to 30 minutes all day and night while you go about your normal activities. The doctor will evaluate the results. In some cases, home blood pressure monitors may also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of your treatment.
Important complications of uncontrolled or poorly treated high blood pressure are due to chronic damage that occurs to different organs in the body and include heart attack, congestive heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, peripheral artery disease, and aneurysms (weakening of the walls of an artery, leading to a sac formation or ballooning of the artery wall). Aneurysms can be found in the brain, along the route of the aorta (the large artery that leaves the heart), and other arteries in the abdomen and extremities.
A recent study compared diuretics with other types of blood pressure-lowering medications and found the diuretics were just as effective as the newer drugs in preventing heart attack or death due to heart disease. The new guidelines say these inexpensive drugs should be used as first-line treatment for most people who have high blood pressure without other risk factors such as heart failure, history of heart attack, diabetes, or kidney disease.
One reason to visit your doctor regularly is to have your blood pressure checked. Routine checks of your blood pressure will help pick up an early rise in blood pressure, even though you might feel fine. If there's an indication that your blood pressure is high at two or more checkups, the doctor may ask you to check your blood pressure at home at different times of the day. If the pressure stays high, even when you are relaxed, the doctor may suggest exercise, changes in your diet, and, most likely, medications.
Physical examination may include listening to the heart and lungs, feeling for pulse in the wrist and ankles, and feeling and listening to the abdomen looking for signs of an enlarged aorta. The examiner may also listen in the neck for carotid bruits (sounds made by a narrowed artery in the neck) and in the abdomen for bruits made by an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
Blood pressure is the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your arteries. Each time your heart beats, it pumps blood into the arteries. Your blood pressure is highest when your heart beats, pumping the blood. This is called systolic pressure. When your heart is at rest, between beats, your blood pressure falls. This is called diastolic pressure.
With low blood pressure, the patient may feel faint or lose consciousness. This is due to lack of blood flow to the brain, and usually laying the patient supine will help them come round. This is also known as a blackout, and it could be accompanied by a dizzy feeling and light-headedness. Generally, your patient will report trouble focusing, difficulty keeping upright and lack of coordination.
Allergic reaction (anaphylaxis): Anaphylactic shock is a sometimes-fatal allergic reaction that can occur in people who are highly sensitive to drugs such as penicillin, to certain foods such as peanuts or to bee or wasp stings. This type of shock is characterized by breathing problems, hives, itching, a swollen throat and a sudden, dramatic fall in blood pressure.

Mid-January marks the start of our annual six-week educational course about Blackness in America. It starts with Martin Luther King's birthday on Jan. 15 and continues through the end of Black History Month in February.
This year, from football to fashion to fraternity parties, innovative people are finding brand new ways to show off their racial insensitivity, and far too many of them just don't get it. Although some of this stuff should be obvious by now, apparently it's time for a refresher course in racism 101. Yes, despite what the Supreme Court thinks, racism is alive and well in America and abroad. So with that in mind, I've prepared a basic list of six dos and don'ts about modern racism.
1. Do feel free to disagree with Black people, just as you would with anyone else, but don't insult them with racial stereotypes in your criticism. We saw this with Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman this week as the Stanford grad's post-game outburst was quickly twisted into evidence of widespread Black thuggery. It's the same thing that happened to unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin when he was gunned down two years ago and happens with just about any young Black man society chooses to demonize and stereotype as a reflection of a violent culture that apparently does not afflict whites. Remember, it is possible to criticize Sherman's over-the-top speech Sunday night without calling him a "thug" or the N-word.
2. Do celebrate Dr. King's birthday, but don't do it with cheap stunts that trivialize the significance of his message. In the past week, we've seen MLK twerking posters, MLK costume parties and MLK Black Sales. But if you know anything about Dr. King's message, why would you choose to associate him with a gang sign, a basketball jersey or a watermelon cup, as students at an Arizona State University frat party did? And even if you sincerely wanted to celebrate King with a holiday sale, which is quite common in a capitalistic society, why would you hold a 25 percent discount on the Black things in your store? Dr. King didn't just care about Black people. He said "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." And the idea of selling Black things on a holiday to commemorate a person who fought against the legacy of slavery seems tone deaf, at best. Do your homework people.
3. Uh, don't pose for a fashion magazine while sitting on top of a half-naked Black woman. Does this even need to be said? Apparently so, as Garage Magazine editor-in-chief Dasha Zhukova thought it would be good publicity to create a new degrading image of a Black woman subjugated by white power.
4. Don't exploit MLK Day by trying to accuse Black people of using some fictional idea of a "race card." Yes, I know she's a desperate washed-up politician searching for attention, but Sarah Palin's MLK Day Facebook post on Monday received more than 45,000 likes, which means there's a lot of ignorant people out there who need this class. "Mr. President," she wrote, "in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. and all who commit to ending any racial divide, no more playing the race card." But race is not a card for Black Americans. It's real life experience. It's only considered to be a "card" by those people who see America's racial history of slavery and segregation as a subject to be avoided in their own cynical game of false equivalence.
5. Don't assume that Black people talking about race makes them racist. I'm not sure Palin has gotten to the level where she actually reads magazines yet, but she's very practiced at talking out of her buttocks without exposing herself to silly little things like facts and information. Thus, it's possible her latest comments could be a response to a recent New Yorker interview where President Obama talks about how race may affect his poll ratings.
"There’s no doubt that there’s some folks who just really dislike me because they don’t like the idea of a Black President,” Obama told the magazine. Sounds pretty obvious to me, but today's Fox News viewers believe racism only happens to innocent white people who are losing their jobs to unqualified African-Americans and being sucker-punched on the streets by menacing Black thugs. But there's more to the president's interview. He also said "there are some Black folks and maybe some white folks who really like me and give me the benefit of the doubt precisely because I’m a Black President." Again, very reasonable and probably true. But to rabid anti-Obama conservatives, it's proof the president benefits from affirmative action. In reality, we can't overcome racism if we're not willing to talk about it.
6. Don't be surprised when Black people vote against you after all the racist things you say about them. This week, Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson, a Michigan Republican, was quoted about his theory of Detroit, the Blackest city in America. "What we’re gonna do is turn Detroit into an Indian reservation, where we herd all the Indians into the city, build a fence around it, and then throw in the blankets and the corn," said Patterson. Is there any wonder Black people aren't lining up to vote for his party?
Sadly, all six of these rules come from incidents that have taken place just this month. But if we follow these dos and don'ts, read a little history and observe some basic common sense, we might be able to make it through the course without too many more teachable moments.

Recipe by ChipotleChick
I found this simple recipe on the back of a chocolate chip package, and they are fantastic! I mixed butterscotch, bourdeaux syrup and caramel sauce for mine, however, one of the three would work as well. **NOTE: Be sure the caramel or butterscotch you use is the thickest one you can find. If you use a thin one, it will cause problems when setting.
Top Review by deebloom
OH MY WORD!!! I used the caramel topping, and these are dangerously yummy. I also used milk chocolate chips, personal preference. Excellent with coffee, tea, a big glass of cold milk OR just alone. I didn't read the directions well before starting and I put the whole amount of milk in - but that didn't seem to matter with the taste or chewiness. My hubby requested brownies for his birthday. He hates cake mixes, but he doesn't have a clue with this recipe. ;-) He loves them also. Good thing I didn't taste them before he got home.
- 1 (18 1/2 ounce) package devil's food cake mix
- 2⁄3 cup evaporated milk, divided
- 12 tablespoons butter or 12 tablespoons margarine, melted
- 12 ounces thick caramel ice cream topping or 12 ounces thick butterscotch sundae sauce or 12 ounces bordeaux syrup
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions See How It's Made
- Heat oven to 350.
- Grease a 9x13" pan.
- Beat cake mix, 1/3 cup evaporated milk and melted butter rapidly for 1 minute.
- Press half of the mixture into the bottom of the pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until set.
- In medium bowl, mix caramel (butterscotch or bordeaux syrup), flour, and remaining evaporated milk.
- Pour evenly over brownies.
- Sprinkle 1 cup chocolate chips over them, then sprinkle remaining clumps of cake mix on top, and finish with remaining chocolate chips.
- Bake again for 30 minutes.

|Released||11 April 1994|

|Producer(s)||Oasis, Mark Coyle|
|Oasis singles chronology|
Release and rankings
The song was released on 11 April 1994 and peaked at number 31 on the UK Singles Chart, Oasis's lowest-peaking single. However, over time it has amassed sales of over 215,000, making it their 13th biggest selling single ever in the UK, even outselling their 2002 number one "The Hindu Times", and both of their 2005 number ones, "Lyla" and "The Importance of Being Idle".
"Supersonic" was also the band's first single to chart in the United States, where it peaked at number 11 on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart on 10 December 1994. The song was performed by the band on their debut national TV performance on Channel 4's The Word. It remains a favourite song of both the band and their fans (on the Definitely Maybe DVD, Noel cites it as his favourite Oasis song). The single went silver in the UK in 2006.
In March 2005, Q magazine placed "Supersonic" at number 20 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks. In May 2007, NME magazine placed "Supersonic" at number 25 in its list of the 50 Greatest Indie Anthems Ever.
In an interview, Noel Gallagher has said that it is his favourite Oasis single, and he kept playing the song live after the band broke up.
"Supersonic" was written and recorded in a single day at The Pink Museum recording studio in Liverpool . The band was there to record "I will believe" but first, as a warm up, they started jamming together. Soon Noel Gallagher was humming a melody over McCarroll and Bonehead's rhythm until he called the jam to a halt as it was time to start recording "I will believe". The intended song was not going too well so it was decided that they work on something new, based on a jam they had had ealier that day. The recording was completed in 11 hours and it was never remixed.
The identity of "Elsa" has caused confusion. The lyrics say: She done it with a doctor/On a helicopter/she sniffin' in a tissue/Sellin' the Big Issue. Gallagher has remarked: "Someone told me "Supersonic" was about teenage prostitution. Shit!". It has since been revealed that Elsa was a nine-stone rottweiler with a flatulence problem. The dog belonged to the sound engineer Dave Scott and was in the studio on the day the song was written, hence the line "she's into Alka Seltzer".
Oasis recorded two videos for the song for UK and US release. The UK version features the band playing on a roof, similar to The Beatles' rooftop concert. The rooftop is on the south side of Euston Road, London, with King's Cross station and the Great Northern Hotel clearly visible across the road. The US version features outer space views, the band in a car, big toy dinosaurs, and the band performing the song in a dark room. Scenes from this video can be seen on their debut single from their second album (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, on Some Might Say, only on this video, the scenes are in black and white.
The single was released with three B-sides: Take Me Away, featuring only Noel Gallagher on acoustic guitar and vocals, I Will Believe, a mid-tempo rocker taped live in 1993, and a demo of Columbia, which later appeared on the band's début album Definitely Maybe.
In a 2009 interview with the Dutch radio station 3FM, Noel Gallagher said that after "Supersonic" was written and recorded, he and the rest of the band gathered at guitarist Paul Arthurs' house as the song played at a certain time on BBC Radio 1.
The song appeared on Rock Band on 1 September 2009 as a live version.

Pop star Katy Perry may have a party-girl reputation, but she says she finds casual sex “disgusting.”
In an interview Complex magazine, the “I Kissed a Girl” singer insists she’s not nearly as promiscuous as her fans might think.
“For me, it’s not a pastime, going out and meeting people and trying to hook up with people,” she says. “That actually makes me feel disgusting. … Getting your flirt on is the best thing in the world, but when it comes to sharing bodily fluids with a person I don’t know — no thank you.”
The 24-year-old Perry, who is dating Perry Gym Glass Heroes singer Travis McCoy, also says she never imagined herself as a sex symbol.

Interview - Dr Linda Greenwall
Monday, May 27, 2019
The trust has called on the Government to urgently fund supervised toothbrushing programmes in nurseries and schools to combat the ‘tooth decay crisis’
WHAT WAS THE MOTIVATION BEHIND SETTING UP THE DENTAL WELLNESS TRUST?
I set up the Dental Wellness Trust (DWT) in 2011, with the aim of improving the general health and well-being of children through dental wellness, especially those living in less fortunate communities. This is done by providing dental treatment, supervised toothbrushing programmes and oral healthcare education both in the UK and overseas. There are thousands of children who don’t have access to a toothbrush, oral health education or dental care and so the DWT is doing its part to address these issues.
Initially set up to help communities in South Africa (with over 80 per cent tooth decay rates in children under five), we now have more than 15,000 children using our supervised toothbrushing programmes daily there. We have expanded this to the UK to address the ever-worsening crisis of child dental health.
WHAT PROJECTS DO YOU RUN?
Tooth decay remains the leading cause of hospital admissions for children, yet some parents remain oblivious to the shocking state of their child’s teeth. This is why the DWT is putting prevention into practice with our supervised tooth brushing programmes, together with the distribution of free toothpaste and brush packs for daily brushing in the classroom. They form part of Public Health England’s recommendations as an effective strategy to prevent early childhood decay.
We noticed that Luton has one of the worst childhood decay rates in the UK in under-fives and so initially we began to focus on this area. We are now reaching more than 1,500 children daily in schools in Luton. Due to the success of the work in Luton, we have attracted the attention of schools and nurseries in the boroughs of Newham and Westminster in London, all which are now also participating in the DWT supervised toothbrushing programmes.
We’ve also been working with two LEYF nurseries: Katharine Bruce Community Nursery and Micky Star, where the programme has been fantastically received by parents, teachers and the children.
WHY ARE YOU CALLING FOR MORE GOVERNMENT FUNDING FOR TOOTHBRUSHING PROGRAMMES IN NURSERIES AND SCHOOLS?
Every day we, as dentists, see a large number of children that require not just a simple filling but often multiple fillings or extractions. These children can often attend with severe dental infections and swollen faces, needing antibiotics or even sedation or a general anaesthetic. This is bordering on dental neglect and what is worse is that it is almost completely avoidable.
Our recent survey findings reinforced the need for supervised toothbrushing programmes and oral healthcare education to be far more widely available to reduce the suffering of children and the cost burden on the NHS. The Government spends colossal amounts of money when children are admitted to hospital for extractions. It’s not just the cost, it’s other factors such as lost days at nursery, parents taking time off work, as well as the social implications such as developing dental phobias which then impacts greatly on the NHS down the line when patients need years of expensive treatment to correct what could have been prevented in their youth.

Key Features of Botulinum Toxins in Clinical Aesthetic Practice 3rd Edition Volume One PDF
Below are some of the key features of Botulinum Toxins in Clinical Aesthetic Practice 3rd Edition Volume One PDF:
Because of the exponential developments in the clinical use of botulinum toxins (BoNTs), the need for a third edition quickly became a foregone conclusion. Maintaining the original mission of an instructional manual, this completely revamped and updated third edition attempts to record the phenomenal progress that has evolved in the use of BoNTs in clinical medicine over the past seven years. Updates of the literature, expanded indications, improved clinical photographs and illustrations, and newer and innovative ways to utilize the different BoNTs that are presently available worldwide are presented in this newly formatted third edition. It also has become strikingly obvious that BoNTs are injected in a variety of novel ways that differ from East to West. Therefore, a concerted effort has been made to include a profile of as many of the different BoNTs currently available around the world, including how they are utilized in a clinical aesthetic setting in both Western and Eastern cultures. In the United States, glabellar and lateral canthal lines remain the only areas of the face that are approved by the FDA for the cosmetic use of onabotulinumtoxinA (OnaBTX-A) or BOTOX Cosmetic. The other BoNTs available in the United States, abobotulinumtoxinA (AboBTX-A), incobotulinumtoxinA (IncoBTX-A), and rimabotulinumtoxinB (RimaBTX-B), have their own similar, but very specific, FDA indications. Consequently, except for glabellar and lateral canthal wrinkles, all the cosmetic injection techniques described in this third edition, as in the previous editions, apply to non-approved, off-label indications, which makes this book unlike most other textbooks in medicine. It is sobering to realize that throughout human existence women and men have always sought ways to improve their appearance. To commence the in-depth and diverse discussions in this third edition on beautification and rejuvenation with BoNTs, Nina Jablonski, PhD, professor of anthropology at The Pennsylvania State University, and a world-renowned biological anthropologist and paleobiologist, provides us in her Prologue with a brief introduction to the evolutionary and anthropological perspectives on the importance of human facial attractiveness and expressivity. She cautions both patients and treating physicians in the over-use of face altering procedures that can effectively inhibit one’s ability to express oneself accurately and in a completely natural manner. Chapter 1 is written by Jean Carruthers, MD, to whom the world is indebted for her prescient identification of the cosmetic uses of the BoNTs. Dr. Jean Carruthers commences our venture through the fascinating evolving world of the BoNTs by presenting a historical account of the chronological events that led to the discovery, identification, isolation, and eventual synthesis of BoNTs for clinical use. Included is her seminal work in the development and advancement of the clinical uses of BoNT-A in ocular therapeutics, and her serendipitous discovery of its cosmetic properties. Jean describes the role she and her dermatologist husband, Dr. Alastair Carruthers, played in their provocatively sensitive introduction and promotion of the cosmetic uses of BoNT-A to the medical community.

Mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle
Horny Ghosts at the Stanley Hotel
The World's Sexiest Paranormal Team
One hot as hell erotic romance series
Welcome to the Scintillating Sunday Blog Hop where multiple authors share tantalizing tidbits of their work. Here's a glimpse inside Book One of the Uncharted Territory Series...
"No, I've been put into the passive role too many times today." He shook his head and rolled her over until his body settled between her jean-clad thighs.
"Aren't you in pain?"
"A man's gotta retain some dignity. I can handle a little pain." He stood and tossed aside his robe.
Naked, Josh Ryder could easily grace a Playgirl spread. Damn, she'd never get tired of seeing him hard and ready, cock twitching in the air over narrow hips and abs that any male model would envy.
"Take off your clothes, Bethany." His gaze roamed over her with a possessiveness that thrilled her.
She scooted to her knees, fingers on the buttons of her blouse as she slowly stripped for him. Every other time they'd had sex had been hurried and in some strange location—tent, beach, boat, tree. They'd never acted like civilized lovers in a bed with the lights on and room service within arms' reach.
Smiling, she tossed her blouse and bra aside. Feeling the affects of rum and desire, she laughed and jumped to her feet. With his gaze following her every move, she undid her jeans and wiggled her hips from side to side as she pushed them down her thighs. Thumbs looping in the sides of her thong, she watched him bite his lip before she shimmied free of the silk.
"Come here." He bent his finger to coax her closer to the edge of the bed.
From the back cover...
Uncharted Territory--a paranormal erotic romance series featuring sexy duo Bethany Colton and Josh Ryder.

Christmas is not over. According to the Church calendar, the Twelvetide of Christmas lasts until January 5th.
During this season, we cannot forget the persecuted church in India. Let me tell you the story of how I came to realize how crucial it is to support this marginalized religious minority.
On the night of June 1, 2007, a threatening act took place in Gayaganga, West Bengal. St. Peter’s Catholic Church, a building where the Christian minority in the region assemble for worship and fellowship in an otherwise hostile environment, was ransacked and desecrated by a gang of vandals. The miscreants, who disfigured statues, smashed murals, and escaped with a gold-plated monstrance, created widespread fear amongst Christians in India. My aunt, Grace Johnson, lives near this church and she was shaken by this incident.
As a worried nephew, I stayed in contact with my aunt and followed the news. Although the crime happened at a church that she did not attend, as a member of the Christian minority in West Bengal, she continued to feel unsafe, with good reason. She along with numerous employees of the Christian humanitarian organization she works for, The Himalaya Evangelical Mission, has received death and torture threats over the past decade. Last year, the Himalaya Evangelical Mission, even had its orphanage facilities vandalized.
The arduous journey that my aunt has endured is not an anomaly when it comes to the treatment of Christians in India.
For over 200 years, Christian humanitarian workers and missionaries have established charitable organizations that have benefited Indians such as those who are low-caste and indigent.
However, there have been brutal attacks on the vulnerable Christian minority that are primarily instigated by vigilante groups of Hindu nationalists. Religious liberty for Christians, a population of 28 million, is at stake, and this is especially true in rural India.
The persecution of Christians has increased markedly over the past few years. India has leaped from a rank of #25 on 2015’s World Watch List to #15 in 2017. Worryingly, it is currently ranked at #11.
This increase in persecution is a result of the continuous Hinduization of India. This Hinduization, or Hindu nationalism, is the belief that India should be a Hindu country. Any other religion practiced in the country is not seen as truly Indian.
Although the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was not in power when my aunt went through her terrifying ordeal a decade ago, Hindu extremist groups have been spreading fear and pushing their nationalist agenda since then. When Narendra Modi was elected as Prime Minister in 2014, he brought about a nationalist government that created the conditions for this Hindu nationalism to thrive. In doing so, he exacerbated the persecution of Christians.
While the sources of Christian persecution in India varies, most of it comes from a variety of Hindu radical groups like the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, Shiv Sena, and Vishya Hindu Parishad. They carry out brutal attacks that are aimed at intimidating or even killing religious minority groups.
Since Prime Minister Modi’s re-election, the Evangelical Fellowship of India has documented some 350 cases of violence and other forms of persecution against Christians last year. That is more than double the rate compared with the 140 annually before the BJP assumed power.
In January, a violent mob of thousands in Jammu and Kashmir interrupted a Christian burial ceremony to seize the body of the deceased for Hindu cremation.
In May, a hardline Hindu group in New Delhi led by controversial Hindu leader Om Swami Maharaj, called on Christians to be expelled from India. They accused Christians of promoting terrorism and Maoism in the country. If the Christians do not leave, Maharaj said, his hardline group will use force to expel them.
In June 2018 in Jharkhand, five female Christian anti-human trafficking activists were the victims of a horrific crime. The women, who were working for an organization backed by a Christian missionary group, were attacked by at least six armed men, kidnapped, and taken into a forest where they were gang-raped at gunpoint.
Despite prominent calls to address Christian persecution, the Modi government and its allies in the Indian states refuse to take action.
My aunt’s experience with this nationalist government epitomizes the catastrophe. In the aftermath of the incident of the vandalism of its orphanage, the Himalaya Evangelical Mission appealed to the Government of West Bengal for better protection. Yet the security that was provided was inadequate, and there have been several additional incidents of vandalism since then. There is a complete lack of accountability on the part of the government to keep Christians safe.
Attacks like this cannot be allowed to continue. Many concerned Indian citizens and politicians of conscience advocate for a true Indian democracy in which all religious minorities are protected. As an ally of India and a model of democracy for the rest of the world, the United States needs to support them.
The Trump administration must have the moral courage to issue a statement condemning the Indian government’s support of Hindu nationalist groups that persecute religious minorities.
The American government and concerned Americans can make a positive difference through supporting organizations that aid persecuted Indian Christians, such as Open Doors USA and Samaritan’s Purse. Only in this manner, can Indian Christians, and secular Indians feel there is hope.
The beloved Christmas carol Hark the Herald Angels Sing contains a stanza that reads:
“Peace on earth, and mercy mild. God and sinners reconciled.”
This Christmas season, let us be part of this mandate reconciliation of bringing heaven here on earth by supporting the persecuted Christian church in India.

Ghana to grow by 5.5% in 2022 – World Bank
The has projected a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate of 5.5% for Ghana.
For 2023, the Bretton Wood projected a GDP growth rate of 5%.
The projected growth rates is contained in the Bank’s January 2022 Global Economic Prospects on Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).
The Bank’s growth rate projection for 2022 is 0.3 percentage points below government’s 5.8% GDP projection for 2022.
Ghana’s 5.8% growth rate for 2022 is expected to be underpinned by significant growth in the industry sector.
Industry is expected to revert to contributing the highest to overall GDP, despite posting negative growth rates for the past two years as a result of the dire effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the sector.
The Industry sector is projected to grow by some 6.3 percentage points in 2022 after posting negative growth rates of 3.6 percent and 0.5 percent in 2020 and 2021 respectively.
Industry, for the first half 2021, according to the Minister for Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta in his presentation of the 2022 budget, contracted by 1.3 percentage points.
The sector’s contraction however, compares favourably with an average contraction of 3.2 per cent over the same period in 2020.
The mining and quarrying subsector for instance, the Minister noted during the budget presentation, contracted by 11.2 per cent and 18.9 per cent in the first and second quarters of 2021.
The recorded contractions compares to contractions of 8.8 per cent and 11.6 per cent in the corresponding periods of 2020.
Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA)
According to the World Bank, growth in SSA is projected to firm slightly to 3.6 percent in 2022 and 3.8 percent in 2023.
This outlook is nearly a full percentage point below the 2000-19 average, however, reflecting the continued effects of the pandemic, reduced policy support, and policy uncertainty and worsening security situation in some countries.
Elevated commodity prices are expected to support near-term recovery across the region, with higher oil prices and the gradual easing of OPEC+ production cuts benefiting Nigeria and Angola.
Growth in Nigeria is expected to reach 2.5 percent in 2022 and 2.8 percent in 2023, while Angola’s economy is projected to grow by 3 percent on average in 2022-23.
Growth in South Africa is forecast to moderate to its pre-pandemic trend, being held back by structural impediments and elevated levels of public debt.
The Bank further warns of risks to the outlook asserting risks are tilted to the downside and that poverty, food insecurity, rising food prices, and geopolitical tensions could dampen consumer sentiment and hinder growth.
Adding that the region’s recovery from the pandemic remains fragile.
“Output in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) grew by an estimated 3.5 percent in 2021, driven by a rebound in commodity prices and an easing of social restrictions. However, the recovery remains fragile and insufficient to reverse a pandemic-induced increase in poverty and the threat of recurrent COVID-19 outbreaks lingers,” it said.

As the business end of the season draws closer, attention will gradually start focusing on how Liverpool will begin to rebuild from a disappointing Premier League title defence.
There will be inevitable calls for Jurgen Klopp to dip into the transfer market to strengthen his squad, and over the next few weeks and months there will be a host of names that are supposedly on their shortlist.
Here, we take a look at some of the latest rumours and assess whether or not they are likely to happen or not.
Sander Berge, Sheffield United midfielder.
According to Eurosport, Liverpool are looking to strengthen their midfield options this summer, and have identified Berge as a possible option.
The report goes on to state that the departure of Chris Wilder from Bramall Lane and a seemingly inevitable relegation to the Championship means that Berge is likely to be looking for a new club.
Liverpool are being listed as potential suitors, joining Aston Villa who were previously linked with the Norway international.
A new midfielder is likely to be on Klopp’s shopping list this summer, in the likely event that Gini Wijnaldum leaves upon the expiration of his contract.
Even if the Blades get relegated this season, they are not going to let Berge go cheaply, so he will still cost a decent amount of money.
He has two years’ worth of experience in the Premier League, and appears to have the profile that Klopp desires in a box-to-box midfielder, but whether the interest is genuine remains to be seen.
Nikola Milenkovic, Fiorentina centre-back.
According to reports in Italy, Liverpool are set to battle with Manchester United for the signing of the Serie A defender.
Gazzetta dello Sport state that both clubs are showing an interest in the 23-year-old, but add that Old Trafford is likely to be his next destination.
The player is reportedly keen to make a move to England, but Fiorentina will not budge on their £30million asking price.

Not surprising to see Liverpool linked with another centre-back, it’s going to be a common occurrence over the next few months.
It’s likely to be a position that Klopp identifies as in need of reinforcements, especially if Ozan Kabak’s deal doesn’t turn into a permanent move.
Names are likely to be thrown around in plentiful supply in the coming months, so it’s probably best not to get too carried away with any rumours at this stage.
Divock Origi, Liverpool striker.
Reports in Spain suggest that La Liga outfit Real Socieded are lining up a possible move for Origi this summer.
As claimed by El Gol Digital, Socieded are looking to replace Alexander Isak, and appear to have identified Origi as that replacement.
The report goes on to state that Liverpool would demand a fee in the region of €15m, with Aston Villa, Newcastle and Wolves also expressing an interest.
Origi is a curious case, because his story is unlike most others. Not many players can say they’ve scored goals in Champions League semi finals and a final, but he can.
However it’s become clear for quite a while that his time at Anfield is edging closer to a conclusion.
Whether he will depart this summer remains to be seen, but if a suitable offer comes in, whether that is from Socieded or another club, you would think that Liverpool would be seriously tempted to let Origi move on to pastures new.

A hat trick of recent media stories reveal the impact of graduates of 3D design courses at London Metropolitan University.
Date: 15 December 2020
Three alumni of 3D design courses at the School of Art, Architecture and Design London Metropolitan University Designer have featured prominently in the national or trade media recently. Yinka Ilori, a graduate of BA Furniture and Product Design has attracted attention for his first homeware collection following numerous high profile design, architectural and furniture projects. Emefa Cole who studied Jewellery Design at the school featured in a Financial Times article about the creatives driving diversity in the jewellery industry and designer Dr Mahtab Hanna, also a jewellery graduate, has been interviewed about her approach to Political Jewellery in two industry publications.
London designer Yinka Ilori's first Homeware collection sees him translate the striking bold and colourful approach familiar from his installations, architectural projects and furniture to the domestic scale. The range which includes rugs, cushions, stoneware, tablecloths, trays, tea towels and enamel mugs has appeared in sites and publications including DEZEEN, Living Etc, Wallpaper and Luxury London. In the latter publication,asked about diversity in the design sector Yinka - who is of British-Nigerian heritage - says “London is such a multicultural city but it’s not reflected in the design industry and that’s something I’m always trying to talk about a lot more within my design. I think there needs to be a lot more reflected within design or fashion or art, because that is what makes the city so special.” Yinka’s limited edition homeware collection is available at his online shop.
Alumna Jewellery designer Emefa Cole, whose work has recently been added to the V&A’s collection, featured in an article called The Gold Standard in the Financial Times: How To Spend It. This focused on the creatives driving the diversity agenda in the jewellery industry. Seeking to improve BAME representation in the sector, Cole has collaborated with fellow designer Melanie Eddy and editors Rachel Garrahan and Annabel Davidson to launch a UK based scholarship and grant-awarding body called the Jewellery Future Fund. Although as she notes in the FT article, “The colour of our skin should not be the main reason to look at our work. I think it should be based solely on quality.” She is also increasingly working with 11-16-year-olds, she says, "to help to grow a future generation of craftsmen and women and change their direction in life."
Finally, alumna Dr Mahtab Hanna, a UK designer of Persian heritage discussed her work in the realm of ‘political jewellery’ with trade publication Jewellery Focus this month explaining how all forms of jewellery including high-end fine crafts can carry political messaging which can be harnessed to address social and political issues using the language of protest. Her pieces in this area include a sterling silver chess set called ‘Pawns’ which considers the origins of war through pieces which allude to politics, religion, money, and natural resources. Mahtab was also recently the cover star and lead feature profile for Sassy & Co an international global style magazine.
Michael Upton, Head of Academic Portfolio for the School of Art, Architecture and Design said, “It is wonderful to see graduates of our 3D Design courses achieve this level of success and prominence in their respective industries, and particularly to see them actively engaging with the wider political and social context surrounding them."

Is It Time Repair or Replace Your Entry Door?
We all know the importance of making a good first impressions. Of course, that’s common advice for job interviews and first dates, but it can also apply to remodeling. Curb appeal for you home can depend on many factors including siding, lighting, landscaping, but the front entry door is the focal point of the facade and trumps the others in terms of “wow” factor. It also performs essential functions like keeping the weather and providing security, and in doing so, is the most used component in the home. Despite this importance, we don’t always give an entry door its due. Maybe it’s time to start thinking of your front door differently. If you have an underperforming door, it may be time to replace your entry door.
WHAT’S IN A DOOR?
A properly maintained, quality door can last for a generation, but a door may be so deteriorated that it makes more sense to replace your entry door than to repair it. If you’re trying to decide if it’s finally time to replace your entryway, take a close look at the following questions:
• Is your front door dented, scratched, or weathered?
• Are the edges of the door panel cracked?
• Does the door let in drafts? Is it missing weatherstripping?
• Is the door hanging unevenly on the hinges?
• Is it often a hassle to close and lock the door?
Deciding to Replace Your Entry Door
If you related to any of the questions above, then it may be time to consider replacing your entry door. Consider the problems that exist with your current front door, but also the benefits of installing a new one—aesthetic improvement, curb appeal, energy efficiency, consistent operation, security, and more. Best of all, research suggests that when you sell the home, you are very likely to recoup most of what you spend on a new door. According to Remodeling Magazine’s 2016 Cost vs. Value Report, front door replacement ranks as the single most cost-effective home improvement project in the Twin Cities, returning more than 95% of the investment!
Of course, deciding to replace your entry door is just the first step. Exterior doors differ in size, architectural style, and accessories. There are also different slab material options, and for many homeowners, knowing the difference between wood, fiberglass, and steel often ends up being the most challenging part of the process. Selecting the right material for your door can depend on budget and the positives and negatives of each door style. A few tips for navigating material:
With a unique feel and inviting look, wood doors are generally the most traditional, often including custom details and decorative glass. Typically, they’re most at home in architecturally significant house styles like Craftsman, Shaker, and Queen Anne, but since they are available in such a wide array of options, you can bet there’s a wood door out there that would work perfectly as the portal to your place. One of the biggest drawbacks to wood doors is their long-term durability in our Twin Cities climate.
Fiberglass doors can be a better price point than wood, but more appealing to homeowners due to their minimum maintenance. And while a wood door can last a long time, fiberglass doors are known to be more durable in the long haul, being resistant to dents and cracks, rot and rust. You can get them in a virtually any finish you can think of, which means that no matter what sort of house you live in, fiberglass remains a top option. Our Provia Fiberglass Doors offer the best “wood-like” appearance on the market with the top performance rating of any door Made in America.
Now if security is the main thing you want, nothing beats steel doors. Offering the best security, steel entry doors deter potential intruders, block fires, and stand up to the elements. Most steel doors contain an insulating foam core, giving them a high-performing energy efficiency rating. Our steel doors are always to prefinished so you won’t have to worry about painting down the road. The seasonal climate of the Minneapolis/St. Paul area requires a durable door that can perform in the harshest conditions. Provia Doors are a top performer and the most common selection in our market.
Once you’ve chosen a material, there are plenty of ways you can customize your chosen front door. For instance, there are decorative and clear glass options as wells as sidelight units and transom windows. Additionally, there are countless styles and finishes for door hardware—including handlesets, locking mechanisms, and hinges. To see a collection of different looks you can achieve with your entryway, visit our Entry Doors page.

Mini-Maples growing out of my mulch???
Hello! I'm not much of a gardener. I planted a Autumn Blaze maple a few years back and it is doing great, but there are what look to be additional maple trees (?) growing out of the mulch directly under the tree. Am I supposed to pull these out?
I took a picture but there is nowhere to attach it here, correct?

AMD is a lot easier to pack the socket on, I just keep packing it in with my thumb till no more will go in..Of course I've pulled the chip out more then once with them taking blocks and cold-plates off..My 5000BE I bet I had half the pins bent on it from it coming off with the block..
..It took me hours and hours with a razor blade and some tiny needle nose straightening them out, then when I finally got it to the point where I could try it in the socket it was even worse...Try it in the socket, look at it with a magnifing glass to find the still bent ones, try it in the socket..etc..for another 2 or 3 hours..I finally got it done and it actually works, thats the part that amazed me...
You can get those last few CPU Mhz with smaller ram to. I'm pretty impressed with that stripped down XP to, it knocked 2/10's off my SPI-1M without having anymore tweaks done to it. I have a bunch of programs I need to burn and load on that HDD, I don't even want internet on that one, I'd have to bloat it with a anti-virus and Malware programs if I did..
I dunno - it wasn't solid or anything, just really clumped up, kind of like jello. Also, in the center part of the socket, it looked like a bunch of oil had risen to the top and was layered there above the rest of the grease (it wasn't water for sure). I also sat the chip with my finger slowly before clamping the top down, each time! Maybe the grease had just been sitting in their storage too long and ended up separating?
And yeah I can imagine that AMD is easier, heh. The pins on the CPU itself are thicker than the LGA775 ones, so they don't bend as easily under pressure. Plus, they are held in place very well by the socket. LGA775 also has little grooves for the pins to bend into, but its still not as sturdy. But I know exactly what you had to go through, I've pulled countless
numbers of old processors out when trying to remove the heatsink because the thermal goop had turned into glue. Actually, just two weeks ago I went to replace my laptop processor (socket 478) and it got stuck like that, then when I tried to pry it off, instead of it coming off the heatsink the IHS came off the die LOL. I guess I can't complain though, since it runs cooler now
And who cares about antivirus programs, just don't go to any porn sites when running on that hard drive and you won't have a problem

Every month, at Quick Read Magazine we highlight some of our favourite young up-and-coming artists in the “Unseen Talents” category. This week, we sat down with an up-and-coming music artist Reddexsa, whose real name is Snethemba Thubelihle Gadlela.
Smethemba Thubelihle Gadlela (21), professionally known by his stage name Reddexsa, is a an up-and-coming South African rapper, songwriter and a DJ.
Born and raised in small town Manzini Central eSwatini, Reddexsa is regarded by many as one of the most humble, social and also influential Hip-Hop artist in his generation. A Durban based rapper believes that music is the only friend that will never turn against him.
Growing up in a small town in Manzini Swaziland, Reddexsa used to listen to a lot of rap music back in his school days and sometimes rap along, from there he decided to try writing his own thing that’s how his music journey started and he never looked back since then.
In 2016, Reddexsa was part of a musical collective HMG (Reddexsa, Sabby_slvvane, SXME) around and recorded a few projects that were never released.
Last year he was featured on SXME’s debut single titled “TATTOOS ON HER BODY’S” hook. The song also featured Sabby Slvvane. The single was distributed across all major streaming platforms including iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify and YouTube Music.
“My advice to up-and-coming artists is that they should focus more on what will make them grow musically and to take music seriously. They mustn’t adopt what’s happening in overseas about drugs, guns and violence. Things have now changed changed and the hip-hop culture is more advanced than before” – Reddexsa said.
Reddexsa is currently working on another single which is set to be released later this year. He says he’s looking forward to working with everyone.
To get in touch with Snethemba Gadlela aka Reddexsa, people can reach out to him on the following social media platforms Instagram @Reddex_sa, Twitter @Reddexsa2 and Facebook @Reddexsa
