Abstract: The first Community Radio Station was set up in India in the year 2006, and presently there are over 251 such operational radios in the country. The paper sets out to locate Community Radio in Indian context, and its practices based on the conceptual definition and framework of social marketing as proposed by Philip Kotler, Alan Andreasen and others. Historically Community Radio has evolved as an alternative to the mainstream media which failed to focus and give due attention to issues and concerns of rural people in general and marginalised sections of the society. The paper maps the practice of Namma Dhwani Community radio which has been broadcasting for over a decade in the state of Karnataka to the Social Marketing techniques, in promoting social ideas to bring out a change in the attitudes and behaviour. The specific objectives of the paper are to explore how Namma Dhwani draws from the theory of Social Marketing, in its implementation of commercial marketing techniques and to understand the role of Community Radio in empowering the community and bringing about a change in behaviour. A case study method approach has been adopted and the paper is conceptual and descriptive in nature.

Increase of Speed Limits for Mobile Cranes on Singapore Public Roads
28 Jan 2019
CHANNEL NEWSASIA ARTICLE:
SINGAPORE: From Friday (Feb 1), eight-seater passenger cars will no longer be subject to their current 70kmh vehicle speed limit, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced on Tuesday. Instead, they will be required to observe the same road speed limits as other passenger cars.
Currently, other smaller passenger cars do not have vehicle speed limits. “Given advancements in vehicle safety standards, LTA will remove the vehicle speed limits for eight-seater passenger cars from Feb 1, 2019,” said LTA in a news release. “With this change, eight-seater passenger cars will only be required to observe the same road speed limits as other passenger cars.” “This is in line with the practice in other countries.”
Meanwhile, from February the authority will also start a new speed limit trial for heavier mobile cranes which will set the vehicle speed limit of such cranes to 40kmh.
Currently, mobile cranes with a laden weight of up to 24,000kg have a vehicle speed limit of 40kmh, while mobile cranes with a laden weight exceeding this have a vehicle speed limit of 20kmh. However, the authority said it had received feedback from the industry that the 20kmh speed limit was too low and resulted in longer travelling time on the road, which may cause driver fatigue.
As part of the six-month trial, mobile cranes with a laden weight above 24,000kg will be able to go faster, with a vehicle speed limit of 40kmh. During the trial all mobile cranes will have to adhere to the road speed limit or the vehicle speed limit, whichever is lower.
“This decision takes into account improvements in vehicle technology and design that allow mobile cranes to travel safely at higher speeds, and is also in line with practice in other countries such as Australia, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom,” said LTA.

陆交局下月起取消多用途车时速限制 发布/2019年1月29日 10:29 AM 更新/2019年1月29日 10:32 AM 文/胡洁梅
从2月1日起，可载有8人的多用途汽车将不再受限于车辆时速，与其他小型汽车相同。 目前，这类多用途车的时速限制是每小时70公里，而其他小型汽车则没有车辆时速限制。 陆路交通管理局今天（1月29日）发文告说，从下个月起将取消这类多用途车的车辆时速。这类车辆将与其他小型汽车一样，得遵守公路的时速限制。这个措施与其他国家一致。
陆交局指出，试行计划是基于业界反馈，每小时20公里的时速限制会延缓行程的时间，可能因此导致司机疲劳。 目前，承载量低于2万4000公斤的移动式式起重机车辆时速限制也是每小时40公里。 试行阶段，所有移动式式起重机车辆得遵守车辆时速，或公路时速，以两者之间较低的时速限制为准。

A woman on Hannah Heights Trail reported that someone had shot at her home during the night.
Cpl. Zach Brooks responded to the scene where the woman told him that she woke up about 2 a.m. when she heard something that sounded like glass breaking. She said she thought she was dreaming and went back to sleep but when she got up that morning she found multiple bullet holes in a wall, the garage door and her car, which resulted in a flat tire.
Brooks located four Luger 9mm shell casings in the roadway near the driveway to the home. The scene was turned over to investigations.
In another incident, a mobile home fire on Faye Carey Road is under investigation for arson.
Other incidents on file at the sheriff’s office this week included:
•A woman on Hannah Creek Church Road reported that her aunt was threatening to spread someone’s ashes on her mother’s grave.
•A man on Old Kincaid Road reported that an unknown person sent a text message to his juvenile daughter that said “the next time I see you I will kill you.” Officer Daniel Martin attempted to call the number, but no one answered and no voicemail had been set up. Martin advised them to block the number on the girl’s phone and to call the sheriff’s office if there were any further threats.
•An assault was reported at the middle school on March 3. The incident was handled by school resource officer Brandon Moss.
•A man on Hwy. 98 West reported that his 2003 white Ford Explorer had been stolen from his home the night before. He was also able to provide a possible suspect. The incident is under investigation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I take fiber with any part of the cleanse?
It is best to separate fiber from your cleanse or other supplements by 30 to 60 minutes. Fiber may be taken with food or on an empty stomach, at any time of the day.
How do I take other supplements with cleanses?
Other natural supplements should be separated from any part of a cleanse by at least one hour.
Can I take my probiotic supplement with the cleanse?
Yes, you may take your probiotic with the cleanse. An enteric-coated probiotic may be taken at any time, as the delivery system will carry the probiotic safely and directly to the intestines.
Can I increase the dosage of any of the cleanses?
ReNew Life does not suggest increasing the dosage beyond the recommended amount for any of the cleanses.
Can I open capsules if I can’t swallow them?
Yes. You may empty the contents of the capsules for most of the cleanses into soft foods such as applesauce or plain yogurt.
Can I take my medications with the cleanses?
Some herbs should not be taken in conjunction with medications. It is best to ask your doctor or pharmacist for a list of herbs that should be avoided with the medication(s) you are taking.
If I have a medical condition can I still use the cleanses?
Anyone with a medical condition should consult his or her doctor before using a cleansing product.
Is there a waiting period between when I can take the cleanses in the recommended cleanse sequence?
No, you may take the cleanses back to back. Certain cleanses have suggested cycles to follow, but the recommended sequence of cleanses can be taken with no breaks in between.
How will I know the cleanse is working?
Everyone will respond differently to cleansing. Typical cleansing responses may include one or more of the following: slight headache, fatigue, muscle and joint aches, minor flu-like symptoms and sometimes minor skin eruptions. These responses usually last about 2 to 3 days, depending upon how the body responds. Every person responds differently to cleansing. Results may vary, but many people experience a general sense of well being and increased energy.
How long can I use a cleanse?
Generally, the cleanses can be used for a maximum of 3 months straight without a break, unless there are special breaks specific to certain cleanses. These include Total Kidney Cleanse, which is taken 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off and then 2 weeks on again, and ParaGone, which is taken for 15 days, with a 5-day break, then 15 days back on again. This pattern should be followed if these cleanses are repeated.
What if I forget a dose?
Do not attempt to double up on a dose, but continue taking the cleanse as suggested the following day. You may end up with an extra dose at the end of the cleanse, and that is fine.

IOM Report Proposes "Future of Nursing"
An Institute of Medicine (IOM) report released Oct. 5 calls for nurses to take on a larger, more independent role in the health care arena. Whereas nursing advocates are all for equal work and equal pay, physician organizations have a different opinion.
The IOM report, “Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health,” recommends the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) reimburse advanced practice nurses—such as nurse practitioners (NPs) and anesthetists—at the same reimbursement level as physicians. It also calls on the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to ensure state laws do not overly restrict nurses’ scope of practice.
Specifically, the report holds four key messages:
- Nurses should practice to the full extent of their education, training, and licensure.
- Nurses should achieve higher levels of education and training through an improved education system that promotes seamless academic progression.
- Nurses should be full partners with physicians and other health professionals in redesigning health care in the United States.
- Effective workforce planning and policy making require better data collection and an improved information infrastructure.
American Nursing Association (ANA) President Karen Daley PhD, MPH, RN, FAAN, commented, “This report bolsters the case that ANA has long championed—that the full contributions of nurses and nursing are essential to the delivery of high quality, patient-focused care. The IOM recommendations, along with the adoption of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), serve to create a unique opportunity to restructure our current health care system into one which emphasizes collaboration and a commitment to quality.”
Physician organizations don’t feel quite the same way. Rebecca Patchin, MD, an American Medical Association (AMA) board member, said in response to the report, “Nurses are critical to the health care team, but there is no substitute for education and training.” Dr. Patchin cited a recent study that showed 80 percent of patients prefer and will wait to see a doctor in an emergency setting, and that “increasing the independent practice of nurses has not helped solve shortage issues in rural areas.”
Meanwhile, American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) President Roland Goertz, MD, MBA, of Waco, Texas said the report is woefully inadequate in the area of patient safety.
“I have not read anywhere in the report recommendations about standard training or standard certifications of competencies, which are embedded throughout physician training,” he said in an interview with AAFP News Now.
The report is the result of the Initiative on the Future of Nursing, sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Key stakeholders, including ANA, will reconvene at a meeting Nov. 30 – Dec. 1 to begin discussions for implementing the IOM report.

After more than a decade, Nina Las Vegas is set to say goodbye to triple j this Saturday night – presenting Mix Up Exclusives for the last time with the help of her friends Flume, Diplo Cashmere Cat, RL Grime, Anna Lunoe, Swick, Flight Facilities and Levins.
Nina has dedicated every aspect of her career to supporting new sounds and emerging talent. As Nina says, “for the past decade triple j, the Australian club scene, supporting local artists and pioneering new electronic music has been my life.”
The platform and tastemaker brand she has worked tirelessly to create for herself gives Nina the opportunity to help emerging artists gain the attention and recognition they deserve. With that, the producer and DJ has now evolved her passion and the influence she has in the underground club music scene by becoming the ultimate #girlboss.
Nina will be heading to the US next week to launch her record label, NLV Records – before playing a series of international shows. This label is something Nina has had in the works for a while and is very excited to be bringing to you, “you see, I really love finding new music. And playing it. And now, I get to put it out!” she says.
You might not get to hear Nina’s unmistakable voice on triple j anymore but she is still going to continue to be one of Australia’s most notable figureheads in the dance music scene.
Make sure you are locked in for Nina’s last ever Mix Up Exclusives on triple j from 10pm this Saturday, it’s going to be a big emotional one.

I have enjoyed meeting and working with independent restaurants and chef's over the past couple years. I do hope that I can continue this with my new offering of products. Whether you are opening a new restaurant or simply replacing old equipment, I might have the perfect piece of equipment to lower your restaurants costs of doing business.
Why are my prices so low? The question should be - Why are some of my competitor's prices so high? Most of my competitors market their products thru expensive salesmen, high-rent showrooms or affiliate schemes that drive prices up drastically. If a company pays out 20 to 50% commissions to it's salesmen that would double or in some cases triple the cost of their products.
Buying a used restaurant equipment can be somewhat a risky.
There always seems to be a glut of used restaurant equipment for sale online, and for the budget minded restaurateur, the lure of almost new looking piece of restaurant equipment can be tempting. Usually the used equipment is sold "as is," with no warranty or possibility of a refund if it breaks down or needs repairs days after your purchase.
You never know when an older model is due for a major overhaul or has been removed from NSF approval status of the National Sanitation Foundation.
Refrigerators, Freezers, Sandwich Prep Tables, and Pizza Prep Tables operate in a commercial kitchen atmosphere laden with grease and smoke. Most commercial refrigerators and freezers are placed near a deep fat fryer or other equipment that exudes a high volume of grease that can exact a beating on the breathing system of commercial refrigerators/freezers. A clean or pristine under counter refrigerator might look nice, but the compressor might be at the end of its life cycle because the unit did not have had proper ventilation around the unit.
Other issues include electrically operated equipment with tons of dials, switches and buttons. Replacing a compressor on a used unit can run you $500 plus dollars before any labor costs. New shelving generally runs $50 each and replacing a gasket can cost you another $50. In the end you don't wind up with anything equivalent to a new machine.
The Refrigerators/Freezers that I offer come with a two year parts and labor warranty. Plus you get a Five year compressor warranty.
Atosa is dedicated to designing and professional grade stainless steel restaurant equipment. Tasteful and elegant for any kitchen. Ergonomic designed to complement your kitchen. The Traditional American inspired designed recessed door handles, rounded door edge, and the rounded interior corner are constructed for day-to-day use. The refrigeration systems matched and balanced oversized, high efficient compressor use of advanced technologies and components creates an environmentally friendly refrigeration system with shorter run times, lower energy consumption, and the coldest holding temperatures.
The Energy Star Rated is a ozone-friendly and climate-friendly refrigerator/freezer using CFC-Free refrigerants. Each unit is manufactured using a combination of high quality metals and international advanced technologies and components designed to optimize the units performance.
Stainless steel exterior and interior with a galvanized steel back. Maximized and convenient storage capacity. A high density, CFC free polyurethane insulation for the entire cabinet structure and solid door. Providing un-parallel strength and rigidity.
Each refrigerator has a 100% run test before releasing the unit to the customer. Prior to shipping, all Refrigeration units must pass an intense series of tests for a minimum run time of 24 hours. These tests include computer refrigerant charging and vacuum leak decay checks, helium leak detection, vibration noise level, visual examination and a temperature analysis.
Intertek ETL Listed and NSF compliant to North American product safety standards and required sanitation standards. All the electronic parts are CE certified.
I believe in the Restaurant Startup Ecosystem and I Will Help You be a part of it.
I do offer financing for restaurant equipment purchases over $1000. Lofty down payments not required. Why? Financing affords you the option of getting new equipment now and paying for it in small, manageable payments. You can start earning money with your new equipment before your first payment is even due!
I offer free freight with lift gate to your restaurant.
Are you a busy restaurateur with not a lot of time? I am more than happy to answer your emails, phone calls, or texts morning, noon or night.

FrontPoint Picks: Last-Minute Tax Tips
Why do I wait until the last minute to do my taxes? Despite having the forms since mid-February, I still haven’t completed them. I could argue that I enjoy working under pressure (I do) or I could say I’m worried that I’ll owe payments (I am), but the simple truth of matter is this: I’m a procrastinator.
However, there is simply no avoiding tax season, no matter how hard one procrastinates. And as the tax deadline (April 15) looms, I know it’s time to buckle down. If you’re in the same situation as me, you’re probably in full-on scramble mode – rounding up forgotten paychecks, bills and receipts.
My fellow procrastinators, unite! Today on FrontPoint Picks, we’re providing you all the tools you’ll need to make the final weekend of tax season as painless as possible. Let’s crunch those numbers!

If this is your first time doing taxes, all the numbers and lingo can be overwhelming. But you can relax, as Art of Manliness’ “A Young Man’s Guide to Doing His Taxes” (ladies are welcome too!) covers the basics of tax filing – including the lingo, the forms and how to get organized.

Apparently, we’re not the ones who waited until the last minute to do their taxes. According to U.S. News Money, every year about 28 percent of people wait until the last few weeks to file. To help us out, they’ve also provided nine last-minute tax tips to get the most out of our refunds.
Getting organized to do your taxes can be tiresome, especially after putting it off for so long. And it’s the worst when you can’t find your forms! It’s a dreadful feeling, but you can relax because the IRS website has all the forms and information you’ll need!

More and more people are doing their taxes online, thanks to its ease-of-use and convenience. There’s nothing wrong with doing your taxes by hand or through an accountant, but if you’re looking to make the digital leap, Gizmodo compiled the list of the cheapest and easiest ways to e-file your taxes. Also, remember to practice caution if you’re e-filing.

Taxes can be stressful and tiring! You don’t have to complete all your forms all at once – unless you started 30 minutes before April 15 – so why not take a break and watch a movie? Even better yet, why not watch a tax-related movie? These recommendations from DailyFinance will do the trick.

Rifle in Santa Monica shooting was pieced together, sources say
The semiautomatic weapon used in the Santa Monica shooting rampage appears to have been put together from various parts, possibly in an attempt to circumvent the state’s restrictions on such guns, law enforcement sources said Wednesday.
Although certain types of AR-15-style rifles are banned in California, it’s legal to purchase parts used to assemble and customize the guns. Santa Monica police have said John Zawahri, 23, used an AR-15-style gun during the attack and was also carrying a .44-caliber handgun.
The sources, who spoke on the condition of annoymity because the case was ongoing, said detectives are still trying to figure out how the gun was put together and whether Zawahri obtained it whole or assembled it himself.
Zawahri killed five people last Friday in an attack that started at his father’s home and ended at Santa Monica College, when police fatally wounded him in the school’s library.
Sources said Wednesday that Zawahri fired about 100 shots during the rampage, which lasted about 10 minutes. He fired at passing cars, a bus, pedestrians and police. Authorities have said he had access to more than 1,300 rounds of ammunition.
Santa Monica Police Department investigators, working with the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the California Department of Justice, are trying trace where the parts came from. The parts are typically available at gun shows as well as on Internet sites and from mail-order catalogues.
Zawajari’s rifle appeared to be modified so that it could fire more rounds, the sources said. Police said he had 40 magazines capable of holding 30 rounds each during the ramage.
California law outlaws the commerce of AR-15 weapons that have a magazine capacity of more than 10 rounds, said Garen Wintemute, Director of the UC Davis Violence Prevention Research Program. The state also bans specific features of assault weapons, including high-volume detachable magazines, folding, telescopic or detachable stocks or a threaded barrel.
Experts say that buying a legal, already assembled AR-15, and then taking it apart and rebuilding it to custom specifications is common.
AR-15s can snap apart easily with a tool or even a bullet.
The concern, Wintemute said, is that some people buy an unfinished AR-15 base receiver and then build out the weapon without registering it.
“People who really push the envelope on the law like to play with the question, ‘How finished does that lower receiver have to be to be considered a firearm?’ ” he said. “There’s a point at which it is just a block of steel.”
Anti-gun advocates have been raising alarms about illegal weapons that were put together with legally obtainable parts.
The AR-15 rifle was the type of gun used by shooters in an Aurora, CO movie theatre shooting and at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown. It’s unclear how exactly those rifles were modified.

BRINLEY Davies's paintings have made it all around the world - from Canada and America to London and Spain.
The 76-year-old artist from Ynyshir has been drawing since he was a child but he rediscovered his artistic talent after the death of his mother.
Brinley said: "I've been drawing since I was 12 years old but I stopped when I had to start work to support my family.
"After my mother died 20 years ago I found a picture of a man from Pentre that I had drawn as a child. I got back into drawing from there."
Brinley, who has an A level in art and design and is a member of the Ferndale Arts Society, served in the Navy for five years and then worked in engineering, working in Treforest and then in Merthyr before retiring in 1986. He now lives on Ynyshir Road with his wife Margaret and paints and draws whenever he can.
Brinley said: "I'll draw anything but I prefer wildlife. Sometimes I take a photo of a view and then get a print enlarged before starting work.
"I find that to copy something is much harder than to draw from scratch."
Brinley draws with pencils, pastels or chalks and his work has become commonplace in the living rooms of grateful family members and friends.
He added: "Usually I just give my work away. It's nice to think that someone else can enjoy it or make use of it."
Brinley is a member and former chairman of the Ferndale and Districts Arts society which is based in Ferndale Church hall and meets every Thursday with an annual exhibition in October. Chris Nash, who runs the society, said: "Brinley is a respected member of the society. He's a great artist and donates many of his drawings and paintings to charity."
His wife Margaret, aged 67, believes that drawing is a great way of relaxing, she said: "Brinley loves to draw, it relaxes him. He sees things through an artist's eye and then puts them down on paper.
"We recently went on holiday to Spain and we met someone who wants a drawing of the Rhondda valley.
"Brinley's working on it at the moment, as well as a picture of a friend's granddaughter that he's been asked to do."

Gaia Plastic Surgery is dedicated to providing you with a safe and comfortable experience. Our staff will work closely with you to learn about your needs and present you with the options that best suit your aesthetic goals.Contact Us Today
Meeting with the Doctor and his team what to expect during the process of choosing Gaia Plastic Surgery.
At Gaia plastic surgery we believe in simplifying the processes related to your plastic surgery needs. We also believe that preparation and knowledge related to your procedures can not be sacrificed.
Usually, our patients are attracted to our practice by word of mouth. Former patients of us are the heart of referrals and promoters of our practice.
After we get a request for a consultation, we request information related to the health status of our patients. It is particularly important to be in good health to undergo elective surgery. If revisionary surgery is intended, we like to have operative reports of the original procedure. Preparation and attention to every detail are key for successful outcomes.
Either online or physically, we are focus on understanding our patient’s goals and desired outcomes to achieve. We always try to explore further than the physical status of our patients. The secret to our success is the connection with our patients. Understanding the struggles, the difficulties and the efforts is what allows us to guide better the process to a better outcome.
We strive to address the multiple components of change. Surgery is not the solution to all our problems. There is no magic pill that fixes it all. In the same way, cosmetic plastic surgery requires the support of other areas, such as nutrition, emotional support, and psychological endurance.
Once we understand the goals, we formulate a personalized plan to achieve those goals. We do NOT believe in selling dreams. We work extremely hard to provide a comprehensive plan to walk the pathway of achieving your goals. We have worked with hundreds of patients who have successfully achieved their physical changes with our help. In our minds, helping and guiding you usually makes the journey a memorable pathway to success.
You will have a detailed description of your procedure. We will show you several patients that have undergone the procedure of your interest. We discussed the potential complications attached to your surgery. Transparency is always a key element to everything that we do. We also believe that having you actively participating in your own change is the safest and more successful pathway of long-term sustainable change.
After your consultation, many questions will be answered. Our method is designed to educate you and giving you the tools to navigate through your process. On several occasions, you will be able to discern between valuable online information that may be relevant or valuable to your needs. We always leave an open door to answer questions that may arise after our consultation. Once again, the more informed that you are the better the process would be.
Most patients seem satisfied with the amount of information that they get during our consultation. However, we always encourage a second consultation to answer additional questions. We encourage the finetuning of your physical and emotional condition in preparation for your surgery. If a targeted weight loss is needed in preparation for your surgery, we aim to do checkpoints ahead of the surgery. Close support and guidance is usually the most effective way to reach your goals. Small consistent changes are more effective and sustainable than drastic or radical ones.
During our consultation, we will be able to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. If you feel that our method is something that resonates with you, we will start the preparation for the big day.
Your commitment is key for long-lasting change. We will support you in every aspect, this is our commitment to you. However, we expect you to be an active part of your transformation. We believe in changing lives for the long term. Some people use surgery as a tool to correct poor lifestyle choices. In our experience, those patients usually are never successful in the long run. Cosmetic plastic surgery should be simply a complementary tool to finish the transformation. It is not the transforming keystone. If your heart is in it, we will be more successful in helping you carve the “awesome” within.
We will make sure that you are a good candidate for the procedure. Laboratories and clearances may be needed if there are medical health concerns. Once you select your day of surgery, we will be available to answer any question prior to it.
The surgery center will contact you the week before to confirm your medical health status. They will also contact you the day before, to provide directions to the surgery center.
I will meet you on the day of surgery and I will ask you if you have any last-minute questions. Then we will proceed to do the markings related to your procedure. During the surgery, we will give updates to your companion. On the date of your surgery, I will give you a call to confirm that everything is evolving as planned.
The recovery process tends to be uncomfortable. As expected, surgery will be associated with tenderness. We have developed a pain management method that is highly effective in 95% of our patients. We believe in being ahead of the pain and not chasing it. We use a multimodal method of pain control.
Transformation always starts within. We do not believe that we transform people. We are simply the instrument that allows you to flourish. If you do not have it within, what we do usually do not last for the long run.
The sacred commitment between us and our patients is founded on connecting with people. Early on in my practice, I promised to see each patient as a loved member of my family. This motto has always guided me in offering the most sensitive and adequate options to almost every single patient. We are human beings before we are restrained in the world of titles and achievements. Only when you can see others as close to you, the answers are the most adequate.
In some cases, there is also the possibility of tough love ruled by kindness. Only when you care 1000%, you can guide with sincerity and transparency. I can say that during all these years of practicing my profession, I have developed sincere relationships with my patients. We share more than the connection of our before and after pictures.
Once we are done with surgery, you will come to see me between 3 days to 7 days after your surgery. In some cases, we need to see each other weekly for the first month if drains are involved.
Then I like to see my patients at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and yearly until they are tired of seeing me. I will always be available to see you if there are any concerns or questions related to your surgery.
We specialize in non-invasive and invasive Cosmetic Plastic Surgery in Miami Florida. Unlike many other practices, we personalized your care by making sure that we understand your goals.
Liposuction to Upper Thighs, Abdomen, Flanks and Arms
Dr. Alvarez is simply amazing. This is now my 3 procedure with him. I have had blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty and most recently liposuction on my upper thighs, abdomen, flanks and arms. I am so amazed at the result I have from the liposuction so far post op at 3 months. I worked out 6 days a week and could not get the body I wanted. Dr. Alvarez took a great amount of time with me to discuss what I wanted and how he will go about helping me achieve my goal. The day of surgery he met with me to prep me for the surgery as well as ease any fears I may have had. After surgery I felt way better than I anticipated as far as any pain or discomfort, so I knew he took the time to gently and methodical remove the fat. As usually he always calls you in the evening to check up on you and how you are feeling. He made himself available to me at anytime to call him if I was concerned about anything. Then I had my first post op appointment. Wow! I could not believe what I was seeing only a few days after surgery. My body shape was already looking great. I have since been able to go back to the gym. I had already saw amazing results from Dr. Alvarez but with my work out I saw my body look way better than I could have imagined. I would have never seen the results of my workout if it had not been for Dr. Alvarez. His demeanor and expertise is in a class of its own with how excellent he is.
I consider it a blessing to have gone on my breast cancer journey with Dr. Clavijo and his staff. His knowledge and surgical skills allowed my to put my total trust in him. Dr. Clavijo answered every question and concern I had about my illness. His kindness, compassion, and sense of humor took the horribleness out of a devastating diagnosis.
Perfect Breast Augmentation
I received a breast augmentation with Dr.Clavijo over a month ago and I couldnt be happier with my results. I went from an A to a D and they look so perfect and natural! He honestly is expert and truly takes pride in his work. He knows what looks best as well as what’s the safest for your body. Some doctors will just do whatever you request no matter what the outcome is but not him. Also he is very patient and caring before and especially after you’re surgery. He’ll call and check up on you multiple times after your surgery and also have you come in if you have any concerns like I did. I will definitely recommend him to anyone wanting a breast augmentation!
Fantastic Doctor and Experience!
I had wanted a tummy tuck for years but was afraid. I finally decided to go ahead after a great consultation with Dr. Clavio-Alverez. I had the procedure this March 2020, that included muscle tightening and liposuction.
I was expecting a hard recovery from what people told me and what I had read. I’m still amazed at the results and how pain-free the procedure was. I was feeling great by the second week. I’m 53 and have a “few” extra pounds:) so I was expecting to be satisfied but I ended up completely thrilled. I can’t believe how contoured my middle looks!
The staff is friendly and helpful and Dr. Clavio-Alverez always gets right back quickly with answers to any questions.
I’d highly recommend this doctor!
I Could Not Possible Be Happier with my Experience and the Results!!
I could not possibly be happier with my overall experience at Renova! The staff, environment, and Dr. Clavijo-Alvarez were extremely welcoming and kind. I received a rhinoplasty from him and am ecstatic with the result. I never imagined it would turn out as amazing as it did and I will be forever grateful for this experience! Following my surgery, Dr. Clavijo-Alvarez gave me his personal phone number and called me once i was settled in at home just to check in and see if I had any questions, which was extremely appreciated. I can’t imagine ever having even close to a better experience anywhere else than Renova!
I had a breast reduction by Dr. Alvarez on May 4, 2020. He is such a caring doctor and he did AMAZING work! I would highly recommend him to friends & family! He explains everything and leaves nothing out.
Great First Experience!
This was my first time getting lip filler, and it couldn’t have gone better. Getting lip filler was something I had been thinking about doing for awhile, but I was always nervous since I am terrified of needles. I felt no pain, and was completely at ease the entire time thanks to Dr. Clavijo-Alvarez. He explained step by step what he was doing, and went very slowly. The results are natural and I have had no bruising!
Dr. Clavijo-Alvarez is the Greatest!
Dr. Clavijo-Alvarez is amazing! A girl I work with recommended him for a breast augmentation and I immediately felt comfortable with him. He was very patient through my decision process and was realistic about expectations and sizing options for my frame. I started as an A cup and decided to proceed with silicone under the muscle. I was able to get in for surgery pretty quickly and the recovery process was surprisingly very easy! Very minimal down time and much less painful than I was anticipating. I am now 6 weeks out and so happy with my results! I feel much more confident and EVERYTHING fits me much better. Dr. Clavijo-Alvarez does an amazing job and makes sure you feel safe and comfortable in the healing process – he was always quick to respond to my questions! If I had to do it all over again I would choose him again in heart beat!
Amazing Experience All Around! (27yo who was looking to get a breast augmentation and rhinoplasty)
Just a small update with pictures, obviously still healing (2 weeks post op) I love my results! All of my initial problem areas were addressed exactly as I wanted them to be. I wanted to still look like myself without the “overdone” look especially for my nose. Everything is healing great. I’m happy with my 2 week post op results, so I’m excited to see everything once everything completely settles into place. I started as 34B on my breasts and went with 300cc implants I didn’t want them too large or small.. I’m 5’3” 115lbs so they fit well on my frame and I’m very happy with those as well.
He did a spectacular job with me best decision ever
First of all, I would say that Dr. Clavijo is an artist. He did a spectacular job with me, I feel like A brand new human being. I had a breast lift surgery in January. I was 200 and I lost 50 pounds so my boobs were down and I’m 22 years old so I was very insecure about it. I was so nervous about this surgery because you are spending money without a guarantee of the results, I was afraid of not loving my results even though I knew the doctor is amazing. Right after I woke up of the anesthesia I heard the doctor’s voice and I was like “Doctor is that you?” He said “yes” I answered: “tell me the truth and be honest, it’s okay if you say 7-8/10 can you tell me how they look?” He answered: 12/10. Today after 4 weeks, HE IS THE BEST, 12/10 was super modest, it’s 100000/10. He gave me my confidence back. My boobs are AMAZING. He is so patient and on top of everything. I can text him and he would answer me immediately. He call me 3 hours after my surgery to check on me. I’m so happy with my decision, his hands are magical. Such a great team Tina is a doll and she’s on top everything. I would go through this process 100 times again if I could. I asked about getting implants and he was like NO you are young and you don’t need it definitely the “money” is not his motor, he’s thinking about you. I’m a new person, I feel 22 again. He gave me back my confidence.
Dr. Clavijo-Alvarez is Top Notch!
Dr. Clavijo-Alvarez is amazing! From the initial consultation to the procedure to all of the follow up appointments and care! He takes his time, explains everything, and truly cares about his patients. I feel so much more confident and younger thanks to his amazing work!
Rhinoplasty and Otoplasty
I can’t put into words how grateful I am that I found myself in the hands of Dr. Clavijo-Alvarez. Since I was young I’ve always hated my nose’s side profile, and how much my ears stuck out. My biggest concern with going under the knife was losing my uniqueness, so I struggled for some time deciding whether or not to go through with plastic surgery. Now that I have, I wonder what held me back in the first place. I have never felt so confident in my life. From the beginning I expressed that I didn’t want to look like a different person, but that I wanted the hump in my nose gone and little work to the tip of my nose. I am simply blown away with how natural, and beautiful I look now. He guided me through every step and even took a photo of myself and showed me how my end results should look, before I even picked a date for my procedure! The end result looks even better than the picture I had for reference! As for my ears, I was so worried they would come out looking “glued to my head” or unnatural and they look natural as ever too, far exceeding my expectations. I have never felt comfortable wearing my hair up and now I do all the time, and I can’t explain what that’s done for my confidence, I feel more free than I ever have with the confidence I’ve gained. I’m not sure what kind of magic this doctor has, but my recovery was very easy too, and I had little to no swelling and bruising as well. I cannot recommend Dr. Clavijo-Alvarez enough, he has truly made a huge impact on my life!
Breast Reduction/lift-great Outcome
I got a breast reduction and lift with Dr. Clavijo-Alvarez. It has been a little over three weeks and I am in love with my results. He reduced the size of my breasts and also lifted them and I couldn’t be happier. They are proportionate to my body and perky and healing great. He made the process easy and I am so happy I did this procedure!! He is definitely skilled and gifted!!
Beautiful results! Dr. Clavijo-Alvarez was excellent!
I am a mother of three. After having my three children I ended up with a umbilical hernia, diastasis recti & extra skin. No matter how much I exercised it wasn’t going to help with those issues. I consulted three different plastic surgeons in the Pittsburgh area prior to making my decision on who to select for my hernia repair & tummy tuck. From the moment I met Dr. Clavijo I instantly felt comfortable. He provided a free consultation which not all plastic surgeons do. During the consultation he took his time explaining the surgery & Post surgery process as well as answering all of my questions. I never felt rushed or pressure from him. Once I decided to move forward & scheduled my surgery Dr. Clavijo & Tina were extremely helpful in answering my additional questions and walking me through all of my pre-op, day of surgery & post op procedures. The evening of my surgery, Dr. Clavijo called my husband to see how I was feeling & if I needed anything. He’s extremely caring and I highly recommend him for a tummy tuck. After reading other Real Self reviews, this was the reason I decided to book a consultation it’s him. I am thrilled that I made the decision & am 110% satisfied with my results. He’s truly an artist!
I went to Dr. Clavijo for a breast augmentation…
I went to Dr. Clavijo for a breast augmentation and I could not be more pleased with my results. They look natural- actually better than natural, but not fake looking. It’s exactly the look I was going for. I had a very smooth and fast recovery process with no complications. Dr. Clavijo and staff were prompt and attentive, and made sure to check in and follow up with me. I always felt like I was in extremely capable hands. I highly recommend!
“I’m a 27yo who was looking to get a breast augmentation and rhinoplasty. I was initially so nervous! Dr. Alvarez was very thorough during the consultation, reviewed all my questions and concerns, and put my mind at ease. I had both procedures done at once and was expecting a rough recovery.. I followed all pre and post op instructions. Dr. Clavijo-Alvarez even called the night of surgery to check in and answer any questions. I genuinely experienced minimal pain and did not even have to take the pain medication! His recovery procedures were awesome. After my first post op visit one week later I was blown away by how great it looked, barely any swelling, even in the token “ugly” phase of healing it was amazing. I’m so grateful for Dr. Clavijo-Alvarez. I 1000% recommend him to any patient feeling unsure or hearing horror stories from patients who have had painful/unsatisfying experiences at other places. From consult to recovery to final results, can’t say anything but awesome things!”


JEFFERSON CITY • Missouri hasn’t offered perks for film studios in several years — and producers have taken note, shooting scenes set in Missouri in other, more generous states.
But, if it were up to Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe, the state would reboot its modest incentive program, with the goal of drawing crews to Missouri to film shows such as Netflix’s “Ozark” and HBO’s “Sharp Objects.”
“I have seen the benefits of us being a film tax credits state,” Kehoe, a Republican, told reporters on Thursday.
“Lake Ozark, Branson area, would really like to work to try to attract some moviemaking,” Kehoe said. “I think we need a small amount.”
Kehoe made the pitch when asked by a reporter about the possibility of jump-starting Missouri’s now-unfunded program.
Meanwhile, the Legislature is weighing transferring control of the Missouri Arts Council, the Missouri Humanities Council and oversight of public radio and television funds, to the lieutenant governor’s office.
If legislators approve Gov. Mike Parson’s changes, Kehoe would see his office budget grow from less than $600,000 this fiscal year to $9.2 million next fiscal year, which starts July 1.
Kehoe said it is too early to know whether he would be put in charge of any new tax credit program for film production.
The Department of Economic Development oversaw the program, but Parson has embarked on an overhaul of the department, shifting hundreds of jobs to other various offices.
For example, 15 employees working in the Department of Economic Development will be transferred to Kehoe’s office if the changes take effect.
The Legislature is also debating changes to the state’s often-criticized low-income housing tax credit program.
Former Gov. Eric Greitens and allies ended the state’s involvement in the program, but Parson said the state could again issue those credits if the Legislature reforms the program.
One plan would cap state funding for the program at about $70 million annually, down from an estimated $150 million.
“I know tax credits are a hot topic of conversation in this building (the Capitol),” Kehoe said, adding that he wanted film incentives to be discussed as lawmakers have a “global conversation” about credits in general.
“Maybe as we move forward we could reincorporate” the film incentives, Kehoe said.
According to the National Council of State Legislatures, several states have cut their film incentives since the Great Recession. In 2009, according to the organization, 44 states offered some kind of package to film studios.
Since then, 13 states — including Missouri — have shuttered their programs.
Others, such as Colorado, Texas and Maryland, have restricted their offerings, according to the group.
“Most states’ policymakers walk a fine line and try to balance film production incentives in ways that limit forgone revenue,” according to the NCSL, “yet still reduce the chances of losing the state’s film industry to competing incentive programs.”
When Missouri did offer incentives, the state limited its annual funding of the defunct program to $4.5 million.
Georgia, which still offers incentives, does not cap funding. HBO’s decision to film “Sharp Objects” in Georgia was in part due to the state’s offerings, a company spokeswoman told the Post-Dispatch in July.
Beyond Georgia, other southern states seem to be cultivating the industry.
Brandi Hinkle, spokeswoman for the Arkansas Economic Development Commission, said HBO’s decision to film the newest season of “True Detective” in that state translated to an economic boon for Arkansas.
The studio hired 1,000 Arkansans — actors, crew, caterers, hair and makeup artists — during the course of the season, Hinkle said.
She called the HBO decision the “holy grail” of projects, and said many smaller projects also take advantage of Arkansas’ incentive program.
The state offers a 20 percent rebate on qualified production expenditures that were made in Arkansas. Rebates are also offered for certain hiring expenses and companies must meet minimum spending requirements.
She said the state does not yet know how much “True Detective” will cost taxpayers.
Skeptics of such incentives wonder about the long-term economic benefits to a state, especially after crews pack up and leave when filming is complete.
Hinkle said supporters of the program do have to vouch for it with certain lawmaker-skeptics.
“The entertainment industry is huge,” she said. “Even when there’s a depression, or a recession, people still need to escape. And Hollywood is magic.”

While theatrical exhibitions have returned in full force, streaming has further cemented its place in the film industry. Thus, 2021 proved to be a prolific year for movies, with the only thing slowing the immense volume of productions seemingly being coronavirus outbreaks on set. Altogether, audiences had a buffet of options to consume. Of those options, we highly recommend the following films.

|In my biology class we have decided to start a garden club. The problem is that our little patch of garden has been ruined by inproper care. Now the soil is dry and unplantable. We need help to make the soil healthy enough to plant vegetables etc. but we do not have the knowledge or the know-how to fix it. unfortunately i was picked president and we need help getting the soil healthy. please help.|
|I think you should be proud to serve as president of your new garden club. There will be some work involved, but the rewards will be great! You might want to start with a soil test so you'll have some idea of the soil's pH. Most vegetables will be happy in soil that registers 6.5 to 7.0 (slightly acidic to neutral). If your soil test indicates a need to raise or lower the pH, you can add lime or sulfur as required.
You can enrich your soil over a period of years and end up with rich garden loam if you add organic matter. Start this spring by removing all vegetation from the area and spreading 4-5 inches of organic matter over the vegetable bed. You can use compost, aged manure (fresh manure can be too hot and might contain weed seeds), shredded leaves or whatever organic matter is readily available in your local area. Dig or till this organic matter into the soil - 8-10 inches deep. Plant your veggies and mulch over the bare soil between the plants with additional organic matter. A 2-3 inch layer will help suppress weeds and slow water evaporation. At the end of the season dig the organic matter into the soil and add a fresh layer. Repeat this process annually and you'll end up with rich garden loam - and a spectacular vegetable garden. Hope you have a bountiful harvest!

Pizza is sometimes made with ketchup instead of tomato sauce. Employees are always lazy and unwilling to help, sometimes stopping cooking after THREE PM. On top of that, the ambiance is shoddy and not attractive. If you're looking for good pizza, look elsewhere.

Out of all the local pizza parlors in Fairfield, this is the best one out of all of them. Don't be deceived when you walk in. It may be small ugly but the pizza is thin, flavorful and all around amazing.

From the Glendale News Press, August 18, 2017
Starting a new business requires fortitude, funding and sometimes a little luck. It may also need some sage advice from someone who has worked in the business world for decades and is primed to help guide entrepreneurs on their new ventures.
SCORE L.A. offers mentoring services for those starting a new business, buying an existing business or purchasing a franchise. The organization’s Los Angeles County headquarters is in Glendale, and it hosted a workshop on how to start a business this past Saturday in its local offices.
Led by Dick Mader, who founded wholesale publication distributor Mader News Inc. in Glendale, the workshop covered a variety of topics ranging from business plans to financing and hiring employees.
Mader said he started selling newspapers on a street corner. Coming from a 10-member family, each child had to find their own way financially sometimes.
Always thinking about future success, Mader said he saved his money to buy something that would move him forward — a bike, so he could get a newspaper route and make more money.
“I could increase my earnings by investing in a bicycle. I always spent less than I earned, and I suggest that you do the same thing,” Mader said.
When starting a new business, there are many keys to success, including setting realistic goals and figuring out how to do something that will be better than the competition.
However, one of the most important challenges can be timing. Sometimes, a product or service will fail today, but it might be hugely popular down the road.
Besides bad timing, a business can fail if the owner doesn’t adapt to change.
“Businesses fail because they don’t change, because they don’t listen to their customers,” Mader said. “They don’t watch what’s going on in the market. They fail because they don’t make changes internally to respond to what going on outside.
He cited his own adaptability when the mainstream newspaper industry started to slow down with the advent of the Internet and other news sources.
So, his company moved into distributing foreign publications, particularly fashion magazines that sell for $30 to $40 a copy.
“We’re actually selling fewer copies today, but at higher prices,” Mader said.
When starting a new business, finding funding can be difficult. It often includes using the new owner’s savings, equity in their property or borrowing from family and friends, Mader said.
Banks and venture capitalists are not likely to invest in a new business, he added.
While it’s tempting to hire friends when first starting out, Mader said that’s not always a good idea. It can end a friendship if the work arrangement doesn’t work out.
Mader suggested business owners figure out what the job entails first, then hire someone who has the skills to do it.
He also said that a good business plan can be a road map to keep the new business owner on track. It outlines what the owner intends to do and how they plan to do it, but, perhaps most importantly, how much money the business expects to make.
If the financial goals aren’t met, changes or sound advice may be needed.
Anne Pittman attended the workshop because she’s looking to start a company called Cupcake Panache, which will sell items that can up the game when cooking cupcakes.
For example, fancier cupcake liners may jazz up a batch of cupcakes.
“I’m going to have things that they can’t find at their local grocery store or craft store,” Pittman said.
SCORE L.A. offers many workshops on a variety of topics including buying into a franchise as well as social media and Internet marketing basics.
