The Southwestern High School boys soccer team got themselves in a 1-0 hole after the opening half, but the Warriors were able to reel off three unanswered second-half goals for the 3-1 win over the Maroons on Thursday at the Maroons' Soccer Field.
Down 1-0, Southwestern junior John Noyola scored the equalizer at the net after receiving a pass from Carson Albright in the 49th minute.
After four attempts at goal by Riley Whitis, Juan Contrares, Carson Albright, and John Noyola, the Warriors finally nailed the go-ahead score in the 73rd minute. Southwestern junior Carson Albright delivered the go-ahead goal when he scored off a penalty kick with seven minutes left in the contest. Southwestern junior John Noyola drew the foul in the box to set up the Warriors' penalty kick.
With less than a minute left in the match, the Warriors got an insurance score by Juan Contrares. After a Warrior shot was deflected by Pulaski County keeper Riley Howell, Southwestern senior Dylan Stevens took a rebound attempt that was deflected again by Howell. However, third times was charms for the Warriors after Contrares finished the off the score at close range.
"We played fantastic in the second half," Southwestern boys soccer coach Sean McBride stated. "We played like I wanted to in the first half. We had a game plan, but we didn't really execute it at all in the first half."
"In the second half, we really moved the ball around, worked it out wide, worked it in from there, and it really created problems for (Pulaski's) defense," McBride explained. "I couldn't be more proud of my guys, and they stepped up."
In the sixth minute of the match, Pulaski County junior Jaxon Gambill had his penalty kick shot blocked by Warrior keeper Caleb Seward. But less than a minute later Gambill got redemption when he scored at goal after getting a pass from Zack Rowe. The Maroons took that early 1-0 lead into the halftime intermission.
After being outshot 5 to 4 in the opening half, Southwestern dominated the second half by outshooting the Maroons 10 to 3.
"Chase Eastham did a phenomenal job of keeping our defense organized, stepping up and winning balls," McBride stated. "He doesn't get a lot of credit sometimes. He is key for us back there and he got the ball out of there quick."
Southwestern (4-3-2) will travel to Boyle County on Monday, Sept. 9, play in the, while Pulaski County (4-3-1) will host Taylor County on Tuesday, Sept. 10.

Financial literacy and planning are critical skills in modern America. The Sanford Center for Financial Planning and Wellness in the Haworth College of Business at Western Michigan University promotes financial literacy throughout the greater Kalamazoo Community via workshops, seminars, summer camps and research.
Despite the end of the Great Recession, many Americans are still struggling to recover from the burden of debt, and college students have been impacted harder than most. Given their overall lack of financial literacy, it is doubtful whether most students are making smart financial decisions, including financing higher education. It is essential that these students possess the skills and mindset necessary to seek out, critically analyze, synthesize and apply the right knowledge at the right time to effectively manage their financial lives in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing financial landscape. The center will promote the financial fitness of Southwest Michigan communities and in turn increase retention, recruitment and graduation rates for Western Michigan University.
The center will leverage the skills and talents of students, faculty, staff and community members of the greater Kalamazoo area to address the growing concern of financial literacy by:
- Promoting financial wellness and financial planning throughout the greater Kalamazoo community through workshops, seminars, summer camps and research.
- Fostering and enhancing the financial literacy of area high school students, college students and southwest Michigan communities.
- Providing financial coaching to students prior to key financial decisions via a network of experienced practitioners and student interns.
- Conducting and publishing research related to the impact of financial literacy and planning education initiatives.
- Stimulating collaboration between financial planning practitioners and departmental faculty.

Untermyer Gardens is a secretive 43-acre public park perched on the banks of the Hudson River in Yonkers. It’s been called ‘American’s Greatest Forgotten Garden,’ and it’s easy to see why–it’s hidden by a giant crenellated wall.
Untermyer Gardens was created around 1915 by a famous millionaire lawyer, Samuel Untermyer, and his wife, Minnie Untermyer. With their shared passion for exotic plants and their green thumbs, their intention was to build the finest garden in the world on their estate. The result was a mix of Indo-Persian and ancient Greek designs that was dubbed one of the “most celebrated gardens in America” during the 1920s. The grounds now belong to the City of Yonkers and are fortunately being restored back to their glory.
The most frequented area in the park is the Walled Garden. Inside the walls are two crisscrossing water channels that converge into a central basin. The flowing canals are lined with tulips and lush landscaping. Facing north is an open-air amphitheater. It’s flanked with sphinxes on top of two marble columns with the amphitheater behind it.
To the west of the Walled Garden is a gazebo called Temple of the Sky. This temple is made up of Corinthian columns along with a mosaic floor. In front of the temple you can see fantastic views of a sprawling lawn, the Hudson River, and the Palisades. A terrace below the temple leads to what once was a large reflecting pool; unfortunately it’s currently drained and in need of major repairs.
Towards the end of the Walled Garden is an area called The Vista. This is accessible by an inconspicuous doorway that opens to a long descending stairway. At the bottom of the stairs is the Overlook, which is a circular area decorated by ancient Roman columns perched at the edge of a cliff overlooking the Hudson.
Another remarkable feature, just outside the Walled Garden, is an ornate gazebo that sits on a rocky outcrop called Temple of Love. This section is currently under renovation and not accessible to the public. It is being restored to include a water feature that hasn’t functioned in more than 75 years. It is slated to reopen later this spring.
These grounds are a real gem for lovers of gardens and history. For someone who loves exploring, especially when it feels like a discovery, this park really captured my heart. These gardens are truly a relic of another time.
Tips for Visiting Untermyer Gardens
- The park is free and open to the public from 7am to sunset daily.
- Best time to visit is during the summer, when the gardens are in full bloom.
- Strollers are allowed, but there are areas not accessible with wheels.
- There are no food vendors although there are picnic tables if you bring your own food.
- Dogs are not allowed.
- Restrooms, water fountains, and pamphlets with a park map are available at the community center (which is in the parking lot).
- There is free parking in two small lots next to the community center at Untermyer. In addition, there is street parking along North Broadway.
- For public transportation click here.
- Visit untermyergardens.org for more information and a full schedule of history and horticulture tours (small fee). The grounds are open year-round for free, self-guided tours.

Friday 11th Shining Tor G/SP-004:
We left Bury St Edmunds at 6:30 and drove to Buxton.
We went to the Cat & Fiddle and parked at the end of the track just
past the pub. We followed the easy track to the summit and sheltered behind the wall
and put the beam up with the pole attached to the signpost. I made 9 contacts including a Summit-to-Summit with Chris M3XLG/P on
Ingleborough G/NP-005. It was windy on the summit with poor visibility but it didn’t start snowing until we were nearly back at the Cat & Fiddle where we met
Saturday 12th Buckden Pike G/NP-009:
We ascended from Buckden in Wharfedale. The path is wide and easy to start with but gets boggy higher up, not difficult to follow though. Near the top there are stone steps. At the top there was some snow and the puddles were frozen solid - good for sliding around on. Despite there being a lot of cloud we could see down to Wensleydale. One walker said he’d been going up there for 6 years and never seen a view before! With the beam set up on the sheltered side of the wall, I made 12 contacts including summit-to-summits with Mark M3ZPY/P on Lovely Seat G/NP-030 and Barry 2W0PXW on Cyrniau Nod GW/NW-034.
Sunday 13th Pendle Hill G/SP-005:
We went up the track that goes off Barley Lane North of Barley village. There is a circular walk that goes to the summit. There were a lot of people on the hill even though the weather was horrible. We set the beam up a little way from the summit in a very slightly sheltered spot and made 18 contacts.
Monday 14th Boulsworth Hill-Lad Law G/SP-008:
We drove up to SD914338 the beginning of the 4WD track. There was just room to park one car on the side of the road. The path was easy to follow but boggy in places. We could see the summit as we climbed. It was wet and windy on top and visibility was very bad. Fortunately
there were rocks for shelter. I didn’t use the beam because one of the wires at the feed point broke, so sorry to any one who couldn’t hear me. I made 8 contacts but some were difficult. We descended with horizontal rain in our faces, but just as we got back to the car the sun came out and we could see the summit which had been covered in cloud.
There are some photos on Flickr here:

We present you the guide for beginners on the characteristics and basic care of catfish. We show you step by step the fundamental knowledge to successfully care for beautiful catfish.
The catfish is widely used in aquariums because, in addition to being colorful, it helps keep the aquarium clean. Catfish feed on leftover food, preventing it from rotting and altering the chemical composition of the water.
There is a great variety of species that are included within the so-called Catfish, and its name comes from the filamentous barbels that are reminiscent of a cat’s whiskers. These characteristic whiskers are essential sensory organs to detect the food they consume.
Some groups of these fish have a kind of suckers in their oral cavity that makes it easier for them to adhere to the aquarium glass to feed, and by the way leave it clean of algae.
Characteristics of catfish
Some groups have sharp, retractable spines on the front of their pectoral and dorsal fins. There are also groups that have skin plates that are the evolution of scales and serve as armor against predators.
Most catfish arefreshwater fish, although there are species that inhabit brackish water estuaries and also coral reefs.
Many catfish prefer to live in groups of three or more, and the large ones need to live with tank mates of similar size, if they cannot eat the smaller ones.
Maximum size and longevity of catfish
The size depends on the type of species. They can range from just over 2–3 cm for dwarf Corydoras species to 1–2 meters or more for giant Pangasius species.
Regarding its longevity, catfish can live from 7 to 15 years.
The aquarium and the water
These tropical freshwater fish will generally thrive between levels of the following parameters:
- Temperature: 22°C – 28°C
- pH: 6.4 – 7.4
- General hardness: 50 – 200ppm
Feeding of Catfish
The most common species that are available for the aquarium are excellent cleaners although they will gladly accept a mixture of plant matter and protein. The best quality dry foods meet these needs.
An occasional feeding of frozen produce or live black worms will keep most species of catfish satisfied.
Tip: It is always a good idea to research the type of diet your Catfish needs to select the correct foods. For example, bottom feeders need to be provided with a type of food that sinks.
Herbivorous catfish species such as Ancistrus Cirrhosus and Hypostomus plecostomus sometimes do not have enough algae in the aquarium to meet their needs.
We recommend feeding these fish a variety of plant-based foods such as: algae wafers, spirulina, and frozen natural leaf spinach aquarium ingredients.
In general, smaller species such as Corydoras are excellent community species and can be kept in groups of 5 or more individuals.
Other species such as the Ancistrus Cirrhosus, the catfish Synodontis angelicus or the Catfish Hypostomus plecostomus are usually kept in community tanks.
Color and varieties of catfish
reproduction and breeding of catfish
Many catfish species will aggressively defend their nest. Spawning activity is often triggered by rapid changes in water quality (may be temperature and/or mineral composition), with activity often observed after a water change.
Some catfish also have very unique methods of reproduction.
Synodontis multipunctata have a very unusual breeding habit: breeding pairs eat fresh cichlid eggs and replace the eaten eggs with their own eggs.
There is no parental care on the part of these catfish, they are totally dependent on surrogate parents or adoptive parents to raise their offspring.
One of the best known groups of catfish are the Corydoras, the popular bottom-dwelling fish found in many home aquariums.
Affectionately coined “ Corys ” by hobbyists, these fish average between two and three inches in size. They are easy to care for and undemanding in terms of their habitat needs.
Most corys need a neutral pH habitat (6 – 7.5) and a low level of hardness (50 – 150 ppm). Their temperature requirements depend on their location of origin, but the recommended temperature range is 21-26°C and they are great cleaners and are easy to find in schools.
Other examples of catfish commonly seen in most homes are the Ancistrus catfish.
These Catfish are kept mainly by feeding on algae and are very useful for cleaning the glass of the aquarium by removing excess algae. While the Ancistrus catfish is frequently seen in many store aquariums and is easy to keep, there is another, increasingly popular species that is highly attractive.
The Ancistrus Peppermint, with its jet-black skin and conspicuous white spots.
Peppermint require a slightly acidic to neutral pH environment of 6.0 – 7.0, low hardness of 20 – 150 ppm and temperature between 23 – 27°C.
The Kryptopterus minor catfish is unique in its appearance; almost his entire body is transparent. Their bony structure and nervous system are easily visible and the internal organs of these fish are enveloped in a reflective silvery sac. These animals need company, so it’s best to keep a group of at least four to six fish in the same tank.
They have a relatively high pH, tolerance 5.5 – 7.2 and do well at low hardness levels 50-150 ppm, with temperatures between 22 – 27°C.
If you want more information about fish, do not hesitate to visit our guides on the care of the main fish used in aquarism.

Geomagic Design X is the only reverse engineering software that combines history-based CAD with 3D scan data processing so you can create feature-based, editable solid models compatible with your existing CAD software.
Generates history-based CAD models with feature trees
Convert to your preferred file format, including SolidWorks,
Creo, NX, Inventor, AutoCAD, CATIA and others
Point cloud, mesh, surface and solid modeling all in one application
Complements your CAD software by creating native models with feature trees – the most popular type of design models
Named “the only viable choice” for parametric reverse engineering in an independent study
Geomagic Design X makes 3D scan data more useful
All 3D scanners create point clouds or meshes, which aren’t that useful for most design needs. Geomagic Design X is purpose-built to create usable 3D models directly from scan data, not just dumb solids or surfaces.
There is simply no faster way to get from unprocessed 3D scans to complete, feature-based solid models. Design X’s redesign tools save hours or days of work compared to reverse engineering in your CAD software. And Design X works with your CAD software, rather than a completely different workflow.
If you can design in CAD, you can start using Design X right away. It uses familiar tools for solid modeling and skips the old reverse engineering workflows involving painstaking polygon editing and surface generation.
People are doing amazing things with Geomagic every day. Since Design X is built on a complete CAD kernel (Parasolid), it gives you the flexibility to make real CAD models the way you want. Everything you need is contained in one application, without the need to flip back and forth between apps. It works with every 3D scanner, and makes native, feature-based models for every major CAD application.


BPF Compiler Collection v0.28 releases: BPF-based Linux IO analysis, networking, monitoring, and more
BPF Compiler Collection (BCC)
BCC is a toolkit for creating efficient kernel tracing and manipulation programs and includes several useful tools and examples. It makes use of extended BPF (Berkeley Packet Filters), formally known as eBPF, a new feature that was first added to Linux 3.15. Much of what BCC uses requires Linux 4.1 and above.
eBPF was described by Ingo Molnár as:
One of the more interesting features in this cycle is the ability to attach eBPF programs (user-defined, sandboxed bytecode executed by the kernel) to kprobes. This allows user-defined instrumentation on a live kernel image that can never crash, hang or interfere with the kernel negatively.
BCC makes BPF programs easier to write, with kernel instrumentation in C (and includes a C wrapper around LLVM), and front-ends in Python and Lua. It is suited for many tasks, including performance analysis and network traffic control.

My Head is an Animal An Exciting New Export
- Glenn McCarty TheFish.com Contributing Writer
- 2012 23 Apr
Artist: Of Monsters and Men
Album: My Head is an Animal
Label: Universal Republic
Move over Bjork. That batty songstress might have just gotten some competition as Iceland's hottest musical export. Sure, Of Monsters and Men doesn't wear swan dresses to awards shows, but the six-part band's debut, My Head is an Animal, is sure to impress. It's a delightfully endearing, wide-eyed folk romp that immediately becomes one of the year's most enchanting debuts.
After winning a prestigious Icelandic music competition, Of Monsters and Men debuted stateside last month at the SXSW festival, its sights set on American domination. My Head is an Animal contains whiffs of a host of influences: Arcade Fire, Snow Patrol, The Chieftains, The Cranberries, and even Johnny and June Carter Cash. Lovers of indie-rock with lyrics drenched in symbolism will be drooling over Monster. It successfully toes the line between lush anthems and intimate ballads, proving capable of delivering both exuberance and solemnity with equal verve.
Standouts on Monster include "Dirty Paws" - an improbably likable album opener, despite the fact that we don't have a clue what it's about, what with its cryptic, fable-y lyrics about beasts and dragonflies. But the lush, chiming backdrop and driving beat are addictive. So is much of Monsters, including the stirring "Finner" and "Six Weeks," which could be an outtake from the Arcade Fire Funeral sessions, and is every bit as heart-stoppingly dramatic. When they move into more upbeat material, the band really hits its stride. "Mountain Sound," and "King and Lionheart" are both pulsing anthems with the band's bread and butter synth underbelly and straight ahead rhythm section.
All of this is carried by the listen-twice lead vocals of Nanna Bryndis Hilmarsdottir and Ragnar Porhallsson. They're equally effective when soloing, or trading leads on the same song, as they do on lead single "Little Talks," which is where that Johnny-and-June vibe kicks in. Rounding out the band's sound are delicate acoustic ballads "Love Love Love" and "Sloom." A debut like this one is an exciting reminder that the next great thing could always be just around the corner. And even if it arrives from as far away a place as Iceland, who's complaining?

Drew Carey, currently the host of the daytime game show "The Price is Right," has become the latest target of the Westboro Baptist Church, which targets celebrity performances, funerals (even military funerals) for picketing and protest, all in the name of their anti-gay rhetoric.
An email obtained by Reverb indicated that the Westboro Baptist Church, or WBC, would picket “Price Is Right” host Drew Carey’s June 16 stand-up comedy performance at Comedy Works South in Greenwood Village, scheduled for Saturday June 16. The real issue, naturally, is that Carey's performance on Saturday night takes place during Denver PrideFest 2012. However, Comedy Works spokesperson Mel Gibson claimed that the two events were unrelated.
Gibson said, “It just happened to be the weekend Drew was available."
The email contained the following acerbic remarks directed at Carey. For example, it said that "Carey is a hater of Biblical proportions!”
Among others were: “If [Carey] had any love for anyone, he wouldn’t be pushing you down the path to Hell with both of his grubby hands.”
Another was that: “GOD HATES F*G-ENABLING, GOD-HATING, LYING PERVERT DREW CAREY”
Carey wasn't scared at the thought of a WBC protest. He Tweeted,
"Wait til the Westboro Baptist Church folks here my act. They'll never stop. ;) link to protest schedule btw http://bit.ly/av8QAX "
Indeed, you read that correctly: he Tweeted the schedule of WBC "events." In addition to Day One of the Denver Pridefest 2012, the WBC plans to protest on Day Two, the day after Carey's performance.
Westboro Baptist Church is led by pastor Fred Phelps, with most of the "parishioners" being members of his extended family. They have participated or threatened to participate in a number of hateful protests. Among them were protests at the funerals of military men returning from Afghanistan and Iraq. The protests, the WBC said, were done to show that the deaths of the military overseas were God's retribution against America for the tolerance that the country shows the LGBT community.
Following the Tucson Shootings in Jan. of 2011, Fred Phelps said he applauded the efforts of the shooter, Jared Lee Loughner. Loughner wounded 18, including then U.S. Rep. Gabrielle "Gabby" Giffords, and killed six, at a political event near a Tucson Safeway store. Among those dead were a Giffords' aide, a nine-year-old girl, Christina Taylor Green, and a federal judge, John Roll.
WBC even made plans to protest the Green's funeral, but Arizona passed a law preventing that protest.
WBC often makes threats and doesn't show. However, they also make threats and do protest, and there are also times when the local citizenry rises up to prevent these protests.

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - A suspect was arrested in connection with the death of a man whose body was found in a home near Rancho San Diego.
Shortly after 10 p.m. Tuesday, San Diego County sheriff’s deputies were called to the 10900 block of Explorer Road in response to a report of an unresponsive male inside a house.
Life-saving measures were performed, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.
The death prompted a sheriff’s homicide investigation, and 65-year-old Thomas Zupner was detained at the scene and questioned.
Sheriff’s officials said Zupner was eventually arrested and booked into jail on suspicion of murder.

“I would ask him for suggestions for all the things, down to what I don,” Kardashian mentioned of Ye in the show’s fifth episode. “Even now I’m possessing like, stress assaults, like, ‘What do I wear?'”
Kardashian explained on the episode that right after styling herself for the Wall Street Journal Journal Innovator Awards in November 2021, Ye named her soon after to tell her that her occupation was “in excess of” and confirmed her a “picture of Marge Simpson” donning a very similar garment to the Skims x Fendi leather-based dress that she wore to the function.

The Fields at Waterloo -Stanhope, NJ
Waterloo Concert Field is located in Allamuchy Mountain State Park. In the 1960s, the nonprofit Waterloo Foundation for the Arts restored the village and began holding major concerts and festivals, such as Lolapalooza, Phish and the Grateful Dead.
Located next to a river and with a quarry just steps away, Waterloo Concert Field is also a short walk to Waterloo Village which is on the US National Register of Historic Places and is a New Jersey State Historic Site.
Waterloo Village dates back to the time of the Munsee (Lenape) Indians who inhabited northern New Jersey and made use of the rich natural resources and the abundance of the landscape and waterways. Waterloo Village became a small inland port on the cross-state trip from the Delaware River to the Hudson River.

Case 37: Achieving a beautiful, natural change in an already beautiful woman is one of the great challenges we love in rhinoplasty. In front view you see a beautifully defined, natural change that simply looks great. Then on profile and 3/4 views, you see an elegant change where the tip is deprojected (made smaller) but retains a beautiful, natural aesthetic- this is finesse rhinoplasty.
Your breasts will be bruised and swollen for the first few weeks, and they’ll probably feel heavy and tight. According to Dr. Ted Eisenberg, a Philadelphia plastic surgeon, in a RealSelf Q&A, “women report minimal discomfort after breast lift surgery.” But you should have pain medication prescribed for the first few days, just in case you need it. After that, Tylenol should do the trick.
If more than one procedure is done at the same time, your total cost may be higher. Combining procedures, such as with a mommy makeover, may be cost-effective in the long run as you only pay one facility and one anesthesia fee (these fees may be higher for longer surgeries). That said, combining plastic surgery procedures can also increase your risks.
However, it’s not without real risks. A liquid nose job should be done only by a skilled plastic surgeon with extensive knowledge of facial anatomy, using only hyaluronic-acid-based fillers. Misplaced filler can cut off blood flow and cause skin necrosis (tissue death). If it’s caught quickly, the hyaluronic-acid filler can be dissolved by a doctor, using an injection of hyaluronidase. But because this risk is serious, fillers have not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in the nose.
If your doctor recommends breast reduction or breast augmentation, these are additional costs. Average cost of breast reduction is $6,500 to $12,000 while the average cost of surgery for breast augmentation is $5,000 to $10,000. In many cases, if your combining procedures there will be a discounted rate. Remember that the more experienced the plastic surgeon, the more expensive the surgery could be. However, you are investing in yourself by choosing an experienced surgeon.
A rhinoplasty, commonly called a nose job, is a surgical procedure that changes the shape and, often, the size of your nose. If your nose has a prominent bump, crooked bridge, or wide tip, or it seems too big (or even too small) in relation to the rest of your facial features, surgical rhinoplasty could be your best option to correct it. It’s sometimes combined (and often confused) with a septoplasty—the surgical correction of a deviated septum, a condition where the wall between your nasal passages is crooked. A septoplasty is performed to improve breathing, while a rhinoplasty is usually performed for cosmetic enhancement. Both procedures can be performed simultaneously under one anesthetic, with one recovery period.
Case 38: This beautiful young lady is an early 6 month example of a finesse rhinoplasty. On front view you can see the bridge is narrower and the sense of hang is improved. On profile, the tip looks undone, natural and less projected with correction of the slight hanging columella. The result is a beautiful, natural look that corrects the issues but leaves her looking totally natural and undone.
Case 21: For our patients who are in image-centered occupations such as modeling or acting, nasal refinements often focus on small changes that will enhance the overall look and remove subtle cues about the nose that preoccupy or distract the eye. This successful model had a look that really worked for her but had always felt that her tip and nostrils were too wide, flared, and slightly droopy. Creation of a slightly narrower and more structured tip draws unwanted attention away from her nose and, instead, enhances her overall look.
Case 26: Narrowing a wide tip can really soften the face. The challenge in Ethnic rhinoplasty is in making a nose smaller while still maintaining good structure and support so that definition is enhanced. In these 15-month photos, you can now see how tip narrowing along with reduction of the bridge convexity has created a very pretty, feminine nose that enhances her beauty.
Case 29: Major concerns for this patient were widening of the tip with a marked lack of projection which made his nose feel flat and washed out. Nostril thickness and rounding was also something he wanted addressed. In this case, irradiated donor rib cartilage was used to project and support the tip along with alar base reduction removing a significant amount of nostril flare to create a natural tip and nostril contour that is ethnically appropriate. Fat transfer to the cheeks helps to balance out his flat mid-face to strengthen the cheek contour which can be seen nicely on the profile view.
Case 47: This patient’s primary surgery left her with valve collapse, nostril notching, persistent tip rounding and hanging columella. Secondary surgery involved correction of these issues with repositioning and reconstruction of the tip cartilages to improve tip contour. Although she is still a little swollen in the after photos, she is already happy with her new nose.
Dr. Miller says it’s also important for patients to have realistic expectations. “It’s not a good idea to take a wide, thick nose and turn it into one that’s thin and tiny,” he says. “But if the steps are done properly, we can make the desired changes.” Thick nasal skin that makes it challenging to refine the nasal tip needs to be thinned out, for example. It’s important to find a board-certified facial plastic surgeon who specializes in ethnic rhinoplasties.

Even though Adobe Illustrator isn’t a photo editor, at some point, will need to insert an image into your designs or projects. Luckily, Adobe Illustrator makes this a fairly simple process for you to add an image and place it wherever you need it to be.
My name is Aly, I have been working with Adobe Illustrator for over five years. In this article, I show you two easy ways to add an image in Adobe Illustrator.
Method 1: File > Place
Follow the steps below to learn how you can insert an image into Illustrator.
Step 1: Create a new document or open a file that you need to add an image to.
Step 2: Once your document is open, go to the top menu, select File > Place, and this will allow you to insert the image you need.
Step 3: Choose the image you want from your device and click Place once you have selected it.
Step 4: Your image will now appear on your artboard, and you will see a cross box on your image, which means your image isn’t embedded.
Tip: You can also directly drag an image from your computer to your Illustrator file.
If you want to embed the image in Illustrator, with the image selected, you can click on Embed on the Properties > Quick Actions panel.
Method 2: Copy and Paste an Image
If you don’t want to embed an image, or only need to use the image for a quick image trace. You can directly copy and paste the image into Adobe Illustrator.
For example, let’s say you want to trace a fish outline and you’ve found an image on the internet.
Note: Make sure to check the copyright of your image before you copy and paste it.
You can simply right-click to copy the image, go to Adobe Illustrator, and use the keyboard shortcut Command/Ctrl + V to paste the image into your Illustrator document.
- After adding the image to Illustrator, you may move and resize it using the Selection Tool. To resize an image proportionally, hold the Shift key and drag a corner on the bounding box.
- If you need to crop an image in Illustrator, with the image selected, you can find a crop option on the Properties > Quick Actions panel.
Learning how to insert an image into your document in Adobe Illustrator is super easy and important! Either of these methods is a good way to add images to your designs or projects.
Any questions about adding images to your Illustrator document? Leave a comment and let me know.

USAID Administrator Samantha Power arrives Nepal
United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Administrator Samantha Power has arrived in Nepal.
She arrived Kathmandu on Tuesday morning on an official visit.
On Tuesday, after arriving she visited Adarsha Secondary School, Bhaktapur which is a part of USAID’s earthquake reconstruction support.
She will participate in a program on “Deepening the U.S. – Nepal Democratic Partnership” at Patan Durbar Square on Tuesday evening.
While in Nepal, Power will meet with civil society leaders, community groups, students, businesses, and government officials to discuss Nepal’s efforts and achievements in becoming a more democratic, prosperous, inclusive, and resilient country.
Administrator Power will underscore the United States’ enduring, more than 75-year partnership with the government and people of Nepal.
She will also highlight USAID’s commitment to increasing our engagement with Nepal and its new government.
Administrator Power will announce new efforts to build momentum to strengthen democratic gains in federalism, social inclusion, civil society, and media freedom.
The visit is taking place just a week after the brief Nepal visit of Victoria Nuland, the United States undersecretary of state for political affairs.
As she holds a cabinet status and National Security Council membership in the Joe Biden administration, officials say Power is the senior-most official to visit Nepal after the US State Secretary Colin Powell, who was in Nepal in 2002.
Power is also a member of the National Security Council of the United States and is a high-ranking official of the United States Cabinet.
In recent years, the frequency of visits of diplomats from the US is continuously rising, which for some is a hint of a shift in Nepal’s foreign relations priorities as well as the growing geopolitical importance of Nepal in the international community.

Strongly Coupled Finite Element Formulation of Electromechanical Systems with Integrated Mesh Morphing using Radial Basis Functions
The paper introduces a method to efficiently simulate nonlinear changing electrostatic fields occurring in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). Large deflections of the capacitor electrodes usually introduce nonlinear electromechanical forces on the mechanical system. Traditional finite element methods require a time-consuming remeshing process to capture exact results for this physical domain interaction. In order to accelerate the simulation process and eliminate the remeshing process, a formulation of a strongly coupled electromechanical transducer element will be introduced which uses a combination of finite-element with an advanced mesh morphing technique using radial basis functions (RBF). The RBF allows large geometrical changes of the electric field domain while retain high element quality of the deformed mesh. Coupling effects between mechanical and electrical domains are directly included within the element formulation. Fringing field effects are described accurate by using traditional arbitrary shape functions.Procedia APA BibTeX Chicago EndNote Harvard JSON MLA RIS XML ISO 690 PDF Downloads 257

Clients moving from out state want to know, “Who has the best pizza in Colorado Springs?” Our team is happy to help with all things real estate and food. Divide and conquer is what we did, sampling various pizza restaurants in Colorado Springs. Here is a list of our collective top 5 pizza restaurants in Colorado Springs.
Leon Gessi New York Pizza is a locally and family owned business. Operating since 1974, they have had years of crafting the perfect pizza. Specializing in New York Style Pizza, they also serve delicious subs, calzones, and salads to the Colorado Springs area. Dishes are prepared fresh every day with the use of homemade ingredients. Leon Gessi believes pizza was meant to be eaten fresh out of the oven. Therefore, you can bet your food will be fresh and made to order.
Dining in provides an authentic, New York pizzeria feel. With memorabilia mounted to the walls, family style seating, and checkered tablecloths, you’ll feel transported across state lines. In addition, the restaurant offers takeout as well as 14″ take-n-bake options. Order a whole pie for sharing or an individual slice for yourself. You cannot go wrong.
Last but not least, our team recommends the Kitchen Sink. If you enjoy traditional Supreme pizza, then you’ll love this. It consists of sausage, bacon, pepperoni, Canadian bacon, meatball, onions, black olives, tomato, red and green peppers, mushrooms. Toppings galore and generous portions.
Owners Mike and Megan are some of our favorite humans. Located in the Briargate area of Colorado Springs, you can also find them just north in Monument. Michael has a long history in the pizza making business. His family opened up their first pizza shop in 1980 in Upstate New York. Since the age of 14, Michael has been helping in the kitchen and learning the art of cooking. In 1997, he moved to Colorado Springs to open a restaurant of his own, Back East Pizza. After marrying his sweetheart, Megan, they expanded their business into Back East Bar & Grill, and opened more locations.
We highly recommend the Philly specialty pizza. It’s loaded with Cheddar and Monterey cheese, grilled steak, onions, and green peppers. If you’re not a huge steak fan, they do offer chicken as a substitute. One beautiful thing about this restaurant is their Beast size pizza. True to the name, it’s a colossal pizza the size of a baking sheet. In other words, bring your appetite and friends and family to share!
If you’ve got the time, then we highly recommend dining in. During your dine-in experience, you’ll see a plethora of televisions on the wall, perfect for catching a sports game. In addition to the dart boards and live music, Back East has a great selection of local beers. The perfect compliment to a delicious pie.
Walter’s style pizza is always funky, never dull. Founder Mike Kienast opened Walter’s303 in 2010 after learning the pizza and restaurant business from the ground up. His wife, Jen, suggested the name Walter’s after mistakenly thinking that was Mike’s middle name. Mike’s real middle name is Wayne. However, the name stuck and Walter’s Pizzeria and Publik House was born. Pretty funny if you ask me.
Located in the Flying Horse area of Colorado Springs, they also serve out of central and east Denver, as well as Littleton. The Colorado Springs location has a really cool atmosphere, with 20 rotating craft beers and great patio views. Here’s what we recommend to order:
- The Moses – Pesto Marinara, Pepperoni, Fresh Basil, Jalapeños, Mozzarella
- The Big Fizz – Marinara, Pepperoni, Salami, White Onion, Green Bell Pepper, Mushrooms, Seasoned Ground Beef, Black Olives, Polidori Italian Sausage, Mozzarella
After that, walk on over to Josh & John’s Ice Cream for a sweet treat. Check out our video Best Ice Cream in Colorado Springs for flavor suggestions!
White Pie is honest food, made by family. The restaurant is inspired by New Haven, Connecticut pizza parlors and the Italian family feasts the Wallenta family grew up on. They are a scratch kitchen with a passion for quality local ingredients and seasonal cooking. Furthermore, they have craft cocktails, award-winning Frose, and outstanding hospitality. Located in downtown Colorado Springs, it’s walking distance from so many shops and entertainment. It’s the perfect location for a weekend outing or date night.
Day or night, we love the patio. Their outdoor dining has spacious, bench style seating, with pop up umbrellas for sun or rain. The ambiance at night becomes so cozy with the overhead string lights. The interior is eclectic with dangling lights and exposed ductwork. There’s plenty of seats at the bar, where the bartenders mix up perfectly crafted drinks. What goes better with a drink than a fresh baked pizza?
White Pie’s pizzas are hand crafted and not robotically round! Instead, they are asymmetrical and rustic, charred and crispy. We ordered a pepperoni pizza, which comes standard with House red, mozzarella, pepperoni, pecorino-Romano, and oregano. Although it is simple, it tasted far from basic. We also ordered the Ava Angelini, which has garlic, mozzarella, Fior di Latte, ricotta, prosciutto, and arugula. We may have subsequently died and gone to heaven.
Slice 420 has two locations in Colorado Springs: east side off Oro Blanco and west side off Colorado Ave. This pizzeria believes New York style pizza is the best kind of pie. Their dough is thin and supple where it needs to be. The crust is thick and crispy so it’s sturdy, yet flexible enough to let you get the perfect bite. For those who are health conscious or have an allergy, gluten-free crust is available. Cheese is something they never skimp on, and what’s a pie without the sauce? Their sauce is made with just 4 ingredients. Sweet and simple.
Offering nearly 20 styles of gourmet pizzas, there’s a flavor for every palette. Build your own pizza with toppings like: pepperoni, Italian sausage, meatballs, red peppers, Portobello mushrooms, and caramelized onions. Pizza by the slice does not limit these options. Choose from any one of the gourmet pizzas or load it up with your favorites. After the main course, you must top it off with a cannoli. There’s always room for dessert! Here’s what we ordered:
- New York Margarita – marinara base, shredded mozzarella, fresh mozzarella, and cold pressed olive oil. Garnished with hard cheese and fresh basil.
- The Mountain Man – red sauce, shredded mozzarella, pepperoni, Italian sausage, chopped bacon, and sliced homemade meatballs. Garnished with a hard cheese blend and fresh basil.
Pizza with a Mission
One thing we really love and admire about the owners of Slice 420 is their mission. They’ve dedicated their business and namesake to Christian and Stefany’s daughter, Sofia. Sofia uses alternative medication to treat her seizures caused by epilepsy and cerebral palsy. Her family chose to sell their pizzeria in Florida, in order to gain legal access to Sofia’s medication in Colorado. Slice 420 supports the mission to further efforts that would give all individuals freedom of choice regarding medical treatments.

VANCOUVER — Coach Bruce Boudreau hopes his Vancouver Canucks learned something this week.
Two nights in a row, the team came out flat, getting massively outplayed in the first period. The difference? The result.
On Tuesday, the Canucks weathered a sluggish start to take a 5-1 victory over the Arizona Coyotes. On Wednesday, Vancouver coughed up five goals in the first en route to a 6-3 shellacking by the New York Islanders.
“Somehow, by hook or by crook we’ve hopefully learned a lesson in these two games and at the end of the year, I hope we look back and think it was a cheap lesson. But I hope we learned a lesson, for sure," Boudreau said after Wednesday's defeat.
The game had barely started when the Islanders leapt out to a massive lead with three goals in 31 seconds.
Zach Parise — playing in his 1,100th NHL game — was first on the board, jamming a shot through the pads of Canucks goalie Jaroslav Halak 3:25 into the first period.
Brock Nelson followed 18 seconds later, tipping in a shot from Adam Pelech inside the blue line.
Anders Lee deepened the wound 3:56 into the game with a long bomb that appeared to deflect off a body and into the net, giving New York an early cushion.
The start was "inexcusable," said Canucks defenceman Luke Schenn.
“They came out hard, they were flying, they were at another gear. We were on our heels, they were on their toes and they were all over us and obviously they capitalized on their opportunities, too," he said. "And before you know it, it was bang bang bang and in the net. And we’re chasing the game from there.”
Lee and Casey Cizikas each registered a goal and an assist for the Isles (17-17-6), while Matt Martin and Matthew Barzal also found the back of the net and Cal Clutterbuck contributed a pair of helpers.
Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Elias Petterson and Schenn replied for the Canucks (21-21-6).
Vancouver's sloppy play continued across the opening frame, with the home team struggling to get out of its own end and gifting New York scoring chances.
Cizikas scored at the 13:11 mark, collecting a pass from Anthony Beauvillier and firing a shot up and over Halak's pad.
Boos rained down three minutes later as Barzal sent a backhanded shot top shelf and in off a breakaway.
Halak was pulled after surrendering five goals in 12 shots. Thatcher Demko stopped 14-of-15 shots in relief.
Illya Sorokin registered 34 saves for New York, who were playing in their first game since Feb. 2.
It was a "massive" first period for the Islanders, Barzal said.
"Any time you get three in the first four minutes especially after a tough loss in Seattle and coming back from the break, we knew we had to start hot and get going and just to get a good lead like that was nice," he said.
"It's sometimes harder being up 5-0 in the first period. You know you're just gonna see heavy pressure the entire night and Sorokin made some big saves, so it was a good game for us to get back on track."
Ekman-Larsson gave the Canucks a glimmer of hope with less than two minutes to go in the first, picking up a loose puck and firing it past Sorokin stick side to cut the deficit to 5-1.
In Vancouver's locker room during the first intermission, Boudreau was frank with his team.
“I basically said ‘I don’t care what the score is. But we have to learn how to play better and we want to win the second period. And if we win the period by enough to even think about winning the game, then we’ll worry about the third period. But we can’t continue playing basically like we’re playing,'" he said.
"And I think they got the message and played a really good second period. Just when you give up five goals against the New York Islanders, you’re not going to catch them.”
Vancouver rallied and outshot the visitors 37-27 across the game, but couldn't dig itself out from the early hole.
Midway through the second, Pettersson collected a pass from Vasily Podkolzin below the goal line, then muscled his way to the top of the crease and forced a shot behind Sorokin's skate to make it 5-2 with his 13th goal of the year.
Schenn brought Vancouver within two at the 14:35 mark with blast from inside the blue line that squeaked through Sorokin's pads.
“Going into the second intermission, I think there was a strong belief in our room that we were going to be able to pull it off and come back," Schenn said. "Fortunately, we had some looks in the third, killed a big penalty there and had some chances down the stretch, but they got another one late and that’s the end.”
Cizikas set up the final goal of the night 14:19 into the third, chasing down Canucks defenceman Tyler Myers deep in Vancouver territory and picking his pocket. The centreman pulled up just before the goal line and dished a pass to Martin at the top of the crease and Martin beat Demko cleanly with his second goal of the season to make it 6-3.
"The message is that you got to get comfortable when the games are tight," said Islanders coach Barry Trotz. "Today we got off to a quick lead and then it started tightening up a little bit and then we became comfortable again. I liked the demeanour on the bench and I liked our commitment level."
The Canucks will wrap a three-game homestand Saturday when they host the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Islanders continue on to Edmonton where they'll face the Oilers on Friday.
NOTES: Vancouver went 0 for 2 on the power play. New York was scoreless on its lone man advantage. … Wednesday marked the first time the Islanders have scored five goals in the first period since March 3, 1996, when they dropped a 7-5 decision to the Winnipeg Jets. … The game was the first between the two teams since March 10, 2020.
