While there is no playoff stretch drive for Washington this March, both of the Capitals’ two minor league affiliates are involved in exciting runs as they head into the final weeks of the regular season.
Up in Hershey, the Bears are preparing to defend their 2006 Calder Cup championship, the ninth title in the franchise’s glorious history. Hershey is aiming for just the fifth 100-point season in its 69-year AHL history, and its first ever set of back-to-back 100-point campaigns. With a 39-14-6-5 record, Hershey has the fewest regulation losses of any team in the league. The Bears have 16 games remaining, including nine at home and 11 against teams that would be out of the playoffs if the season ended today.
Hershey’s best ever regular season came in 1987-88 when the team set franchise marks with 50 wins and 105 points. Both of those records are within reach this season. The Bears have attained back-to-back Calder Cup titles once previously (1957-58 and 1958-59) and are aiming to become the first AHL team to repeat since the 1990-91 Springfield Indians. Bears bench boss Bruce Boudreau is looking to become the ninth coach to win consecutive titles. Six former Calder Cup championship coaches are now employed as NHL head coaches.
Before the Bears can concern themselves with repeating, there is the matter of the remainder of the regular season. Hershey trails front-running Norfolk by five points in the AHL’s East Division standings, and the Bears are a single point ahead of third place Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. On their way to the title last season, Norfolk and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton were the first two teams the Bears eliminated. Hershey has one games remaining with Norfolk (Apr. 7 at Giant Center) and four games remaining with the Baby Pens (home on Apr. 1 and 8; away on Mar. 30 and Apr. 13).
Hershey plays in Worcester this Friday before returning home for its next five games. The Bears will finish the season with three road games in three nights, Apr. 13-15.
Last season’s championship team featured seven players who had 20 or more goals during the regular season. The 2006-07 Bears have five 20-goal scorers, and a couple more (Chris Bourque, Kyle Wilson) who could reach the 20-goal plateau. Goaltenders Maxime Daigneault (18 wins) and Frederic Cassivi (15) both have a shot at 20 wins this season. According to the Bears media guide, Hershey has never had two goaltenders win 20 or more games in the same season.
Hershey will definitely be worth watching the rest of the way, and the Bears hope to be primed for another long playoff run.
Down south, the ECHL South Carolina Stingrays have caught fire. The Rays swept a set of three games in three nights last weekend, then hopped their bus to Florida where they downed the South Division-leading Everblades on successive nights earlier this week. That’s five wins in seven nights, but the Rays can’t let off the gas yet.
This weekend’s schedule is crazy: the Rays and Everblades head back up to North Charleston Coliseum for a Friday night game in South Carolina. The Stingrays must then board the bus to Pensacola for a Saturday date with the Ice Pilots. Then the Ice Pilots will follow the Rays back to South Carolina for a rematch on Sunday. That game will mark the end of five games in six nights and eight in 11 nights for the Stingrays.
South Carolina will then be able to catch its breath with just two games in the next 10 nights before finishing up the regular season schedule with four of its last five games on the road.
With 10 games remaining on the schedule, the Stingrays are in fourth place in the South Division standings, six points behind third place Gwinnett. The Rays are two points ahead of fifth place Augusta and four points in front of sixth place Charlotte, and Charlotte has four games in hand on South Carolina. South Carolina’s remaining slate includes three games at Augusta, two at Gwinnett and one home contest against Charlotte.
The Rays have made the playoffs in every season of their existence, and are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the first of their two Kelly Cup championships. South Carolina is getting back to full strength personnel-wise, and might be peaking at just the right time. If you’ve got a mind to pay a visit to the Rays, they’re bringing back the alumni from that 1996-97 championship team for the final home game of the season. That’s Sat., Apr. 7 against the Texas Wildcatters.
Don’t forget to peek in on the Bears and the Rays as they wind up their seasons with some exciting divisional races. John Walton of the Bears and Mike Kelly of the Stingrays are both terrific play-by-play men.
Let’s hope the Caps of the future have long and rewarding playoff runs at both levels this spring.


Judge Matthew York
Judge Matthew York was appointed as a King County District Court (KCDC) judge in April, 2017, and subsequently elected in November, 2018. He is currently assigned to the Bellevue Courthouse. Judge York is involved in the District and Municipal Court Judges Association (DMCJA) and serves on several committees.
He deeply believes that a justice system must be accessible to all people, and promises to never forget what it is like to visit a courtroom as a party or advocate. A courtroom can be intimidating and confusing, so Judge York strives every day to make sure no one appearing in his court leaves without having their questions answered and the opportunity to be heard.
Prior to joining the bench, Judge York served as a prosecuting attorney and as a civil attorney at a county and municipal level. He extensively served as a judge pro tem in courts all over King County since 2008, where he gained extensive experience as a judge for criminal and civil matters.
Judge York graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno, with a B.A. in Communications and from the Willamette University School of Law with a Juris Doctorate and a Certificate of Dispute Resolution.
Raised in Southern Nevada by a single mother of four children, Judge York attempted to put himself through college by working at a movie theater. When that became unsustainable, he dropped out of school and worked various jobs. After managing a sandwich shop, working as a 7-11 clerk, and as a road maintenance worker for Clark County, Nevada, Judge York managed to pay off his debt and save enough money to return to college.
After meeting his wife while in law school, he started his first legal job with the King County Prosecutor’s Office, where he advocated in both a criminal law and civil law context. His trial work included cases ranging from traffic infractions to a murder allegation. Starting with the Seattle City Attorney’s Office in 2010, he supervised DUI prosecution and infraction prosecution before transitioning to a community liaison position with the civil division. He now lives with his wife and children in south King County.
Judge York is an active volunteer in the community, including serving on the boards for two south King County organizations; cleaning parks in south King County every month; helping youth express themselves with art; volunteering to mentor and judge moot court competitions; and actively pursuing opportunities to increase the critical thinking skills of the youth of King County.

The recommended 240p-a-share offer is a 9.1pc increase from the 220p-a-share, £1.12bn offer Shell had agreed with Cove in April, and follows a major gas discovery last week in Cove’s assets offshore Mozambique.
Analysts said the bidding war might not yet be over, as Shell could submit a higher offer - or Mozambique's government could decline PTT the consent on which its offer depends.
PTT made a 220p-a-share approach soon after, only for Shell to match it and secure the Cove board’s recommendation last month.
Wednesday was the deadline for Cove's shareholders to accept Shell's deal and on Monday Cove had urged them to do so, as Shell was "the only firm bidder and.... has already secured the consent of the Government of Mozambique".
But Cove said on Wednesday morning it now recommended the higher offer from PTT.
John Craven, chief executive of Cove Energy, said: "The bid from PTTEP represents significant value for shareholders and confirms the world class nature of Cove's East African assets."
Shell declined to comment but analysts at Canaccord suggested it would “probably” increase its offer “given the relatively small size of the deal and given the group’s clear intent to build a position offshore East Africa”.
Cove’s prized asset is an 8.5pc stake in the Rovuma 1 block offshore Mozambique, which had been thought to contain 17 to 30+ trillion cubic feet (tcf) of recoverable gas resources. Last week’s discovery added a further 7 to 20+ tcf.
The partners in the project intend to liquefy the gas, to ship to Asian markets.
Shell is one of the world's biggest liquefied natural gas (LNG) producers, and some analysts said Mozambique’s government could therefore favour its involvement in the project, and so deny PTT consent.
Earlier this month, when Shell announced it had secured the government of Mozambique's consent, it said: "Shell can bring its innovative technologies, development track record, outstanding LNG operational experience and proven commercialisation strategies to add significant value to Mozambique and Kenya and the partners in the ventures."
Cove’s shares rose 26p - 11.6pc - to 250p.

"Imagine" remains one of Lennon's few solo masterpieces composed solely on the keys (the strings that back him up in the final track are not his doing). In his 1970 Rolling Stone interview with Jann Wenner, Lennon remarked that he was gearing up to get back to the basics. He'd had enough of tricky melodies and complicated harmonies that marked songs like "I Am The Walrus," and wanted to return to the core of the music:
"Well, I've always liked simple rock…I always liked simple rock and nothing else. I was influenced by acid and got psychedelic, like the whole generation, but really, I like rock and roll and I express myself best in rock. I had a few ideas to do this with "Mother" and that with "Mother" but when you just hear, the piano does it all for you, your mind can do the rest. I think the backings on mine are as complicated as the backings on any record you've ever heard, if you've got an ear."
As far as time signature and rhythm go, "Imagine" also happens to be written in the most regular, even beat that exists in music: 4/4. That just means that there are four beats to every measure and a quarter note (1/4 of a second) receives one beat. Essentially, each measure of music comprises an entire second and it is the steadiest, most recognizable, most natural form of meter. Just as Shakespeare discovered that the iambic pentameter rhyme scheme in poetry most closely mimicked the rhythms of natural English speech (and the human heartbeat), so too did musicians understand that 4/4 was their innate beat. As Yoko, who was classically trained in piano, explained in the same interview, Classical music started out in 4/4 with the Baroque and Classical periods, but then later changed to 3/8, 6/8, 2/2, and all sorts of other odd time signatures as we crept into the modern period.
"Classical music was basically 4-4 and then it went into 4, 3, 2, which is just a waltz rhythm and all of that, but it just went further and further away from the heartbeat. Heartbeat is 4-4. Rhythm became very decorative, like Schoenberg, Webern. It is highly complicated and interesting – our minds are very much like that – but they lost the heartbeat."
Ragtime, with its syncopated beats, and Impressionism, with its incredibly long measures, all broke the original 4/4 scheme; yet we still appreciated them for their beautiful abstraction. However, she and Lennon felt that it was time again for music to return to the heartbeat, that simple, true 4/4 that follows the rhythm of our souls.

Given our experience it is a reasonable assumption that things “exist”, and they exist whether perceived or not.
For example, the bottle of milk in my refrigerator remains there inside after the door is closed. There is no miraculous disappearance and reappearance between the closing and reopening of the door. More dramatic still is the piece of paper in front one’s eyes. The reverse side not seen directly does not cease to exist because it cannot be seen.
My point is reality has a characteristic, and we have learnt from experience of it. I function daily within this reality. I do not question it anew as that would keep me in a state of paranoia. I have decided to trust that this is its characteristic and live by it.
I have lived before without a trust of it. But I had been unhappy. It was a time of nervousness, of not knowing what would happen. A life where I did not know how to predict how things worked and how people reacted. It is still quite possible for people to behave differently than to what I would expect but I have learnt to expect variation and inconsistencies between reality and my expectations. The inconsistencies are just less than what they were before.
I would think Roger Federer when he plays tennis he knows and understands how the ball and opponent react to his strokes, so as to be able to win the tennis match. We can see he has trouble against Rafael Nadal who has better knowledge and understanding of the characteristics of the game on clay court. Their realities are not different. It is not a mental thing. It is a physical one. One translates the understanding to a physical one. One cannot tennis by mere thought. One has to play the game.
I will say this again in different terms – to be is not dependent on perception.
Berkeley resorted to God for his ontology. I say neither God nor perception (human or otherwise) is necessary. There is a fear that nothing makes sense without a posited Perceiver (God) or perceiver (human). This comes down to a misunderstanding of what (a poor word for a non-thing (about to be explained here)) is, for example, God, mind, perception or conceptualisation. These are not things but processes of things. Let me illustrate.
To run (to move very quickly, by moving legs more quickly than when you walk) is something certain kinds of things do. Animals do it. We do it. To run is not the animal as such but the process of the animal. But running becomes a thing when converted into a noun. Verbally we consider them things but this is a conceptualisation. The act of conceptualisation (like running) is also a process of a thing. Part of the problem then is to mis-take the nominalisation of a process for a thing when it is a thing only in name, not in reality. I extend this to mind (as processes of thinking, perceiving, conceptualisation) also as well as God (the process of conceptualisation and projection into a being).
I understand the last is especially uncomfortable for many people. It goes to the heart of one’s beliefs. But I have come to this conclusion, no more no less than from your own conclusions, from my faculties of senses and mind.
Much of the problem seems to me stem from the inability to see the difference between the logic of reality and the logic of language. The mind is not a thing. perception is not a thing. They are only made to resemble things because they undergo an act of nominalisation (a process in itself).

I’m 95% sure it’s total bullshit and the whole obsession with this 1313 crap continues to make me roll my eyes, but I would totally watch this completely-out-of-left-field Star Wars animated series.
Particularly because I love the idea of Luke dropping out to adopt a Preacher-style persona, I admit. Total weakness for that archetype. (Admission: Dune Messiah and Children of Dune are my favorite Dune.)
The whole aspect where Han and Leia aren’t together? (Or at least, not married?) Riots would ensue. But I do love the idea of it being a near-complete 180 from the established post-Return of the Jedi Expanded Universe, but still drawing in EU elements. (Mara Jade? Not out of the question.)
Again: It’s probably bullshit and I can already smell the flame wars coming either way: EU fans are an easily-panicked bunch these days. But I’d watch it in a hot second, even if the character designs were The Clone Wars/Thunderbirds-style fug.
UPDATE: Of course Lucasfilm denied it, and announced their actual next series, Rebels, in May. It’s set in-between the existing trilogies, which makes much more sense than jumping into new movie territory right away.

VICE: Dear Thom,
I need an angle for this article on you. I feel like I have to mention the whole “skateboarders that do art” thing (Ed Templeton, Mike Mills, Phil Frost, Neil Blender, Ryan McGinness, Mark Gonzales, Thomas Campbell, Chris Johanson, Lori D, etc.) but that “their bones got too brittle so now they’re artists” thing is done to death.
: Besides, Mark Gonzales and Ed Templeton are still pro and kill it, so don’t say their bones are brittle.
What about how none of these guys can really draw or paint that well? Skating is all about bailing and trying new tricks and fucking up and trying again—-the art seems to reflect that.
Yeah, that’s way better. None of us are particularly known for how well we draw hands or fruit bowls. Growing up following dudes like Blender and Gonzales really showed me you can teach yourself to do whatever you want to do and nobody can tell you what’s right or wrong. I know tons of kids who went through art school and are scared to death to show their work. I, on the other hand, took the first painting I ever did down to my friend’s ice cream shop and said, “Yo, hang this up,” and she did. Then I would wheat-paste stuff on the street or paint shit or put stickers up.
Yeah, I’ll mention that. I also want to get into how you always draw and paint rock bands.
I like doing these little portraits of all the serious-looking rock dudes in their little rock uniforms. They’re soldiers. Like: Axl Rose, Andrew WK (when he was on the cover of VICE), and, of course, Journey. I love Journey because they got all the hot roller-rink joints that bring me back. I got the live record with “Any Way You Want It” and it’s epic. So much balls, yet so tender.
Send me the article when it’s done.

In November 1994, CDNow launched its BuyWeb program. CDNow had the idea that music-oriented websites could review or list albums on their pages that their visitors might be interested in purchasing. These websites could also offer a link that would take visitors directly to CDNow to purchase the albums. The idea for remote purchasing originally arose from conversations with music label Geffen Records in the fall of 1994. The management at Geffen wanted to sell its artists' CD's directly from its website but did not want to implement this capability itself. Geffen asked CDNow if it could design a program where CDNow would handle the order fulfillment. Geffen realized that CDNow could link directly from the artist on its website to Geffen's website, bypassing the CDNow home page and going directly to an artist's music page.
While it may seem strange to hear a financial advisor suggest people invest in peer-to-peer lending, I’m not the only one who sees the value in these platforms. Kansas City Financial Advisor Clint Haynes told me he supports peer-to-peer lending as an alternative to the stock market for a few reasons. First, these companies make it easy to sign up and get started. Second, your rate of return can range from 5 – 7 percent for safer loans and even more for riskier loans. Last but not least, you can typically open a new account with as little as $1,000.

Affiliates discussed the issues in Internet forums and began to organize their efforts. They believed that the best way to address the problem was to discourage merchants from advertising via adware. Merchants that were either indifferent to or supportive of adware were exposed by affiliates, thus damaging those merchants' reputations and tarnishing their affiliate marketing efforts. Many affiliates either terminated the use of such merchants or switched to a competitor's affiliate program. Eventually, affiliate networks were also forced by merchants and affiliates to take a stand and ban certain adware publishers from their network. The result was Code of Conduct by Commission Junction/beFree and Performics, LinkShare's Anti-Predatory Advertising Addendum, and ShareASale's complete ban of software applications as a medium for affiliates to promote advertiser offers. Regardless of the progress made, adware continues to be an issue, as demonstrated by the class action lawsuit against ValueClick and its daughter company Commission Junction filed on April 20, 2007. https://www.facebook.com/Business-Insights-Health-Fitness-2340476989604625/
Rose and others looking for employment this summer: Retry the babysitting idea. Summer is a good time to babysit. Maybe volunteer a few times first and then use those families as references. Tell everyone you know that you are available to babysit. Use email, Facebook, fliers, word of mouth. Also try offering a set time every week, like Tuesday evenings form 5-9 pm in your home. Parents know they can drop off their children without calling ahead. They really appreciate that. It takes time and persistence to get the word out, butit can be done!
Affiliate marketing is commonly confused with referral marketing, as both forms of marketing use third parties to drive sales to the retailer. The two forms of marketing are differentiated, however, in how they drive sales, where affiliate marketing relies purely on financial motivations, while referral marketing relies more on trust and personal relationships.

This week’s Time Magazine features a cover article discussing whether scientists have located at least one gene that seems to be more prevalent in people who rate themselves as more spiritual; that is, who can experience what they call “self-transcendence.” This is described as having three parts:
[…] self-forgetfulness, or the ability to get entirely lost in an experience; transpersonal identification, or a feeling of connectedness to a larger universe; and mysticism, or an openness to things not literally provable.
To me, this doesn’t indicate more than the ability to elicit certain sensations by an act of will. I can trigger “self-transcendence” given a few minutes of deep concentration; it doesn’t mean there’s anything external causing it or accepting the credit for it. I would bet that those individuals who “scored” higher in the self-transcendence category would also test high in the ability to hypnotize themselves.
Take for example what many people have done in their youth: decided (with or without the help of friends) that their house was haunted or someone was watching them through the window and/or trying to break in. It was fun to scare yourself that way, and you could manage to work yourself up into such a tizzy that every creak and groan of the house’s foundation sounded just like an intruder. For especially susceptible people, it would take a long time for them to work their way back out of that hysteria and remember that there really wasn’t anything to be afraid of.
I think a belief in a god or the supernatural in general is the same phenomenon. Someone suggests the idea to you, and you work on pretending it so thoroughly that you can trigger these sensations of transcendence in your own brain. The problem is, people then mistake it for an external trigger when it was actually all done internally by a now-forgotten or disguised act of will.
The article goes on to posit that such a tendency towards mysticism may have evolved as a beneficial attribute, one that bolstered “social organization” and therefore survival of the species. (And wouldn’t it be ironic to have hard-core fundamentalists buy into evolution for that very reason?) Of course, they also admit that such social organization through religion is, as often as not, a destructive force rather than a beneficial one. I think it probably evolved as a combination of factors: a need for reassurance that could only be sustained with the help of like-minded groups, and a need to enforce certain moral behaviors on a population that wasn’t willing to cooperate any other way. Inasmuch as it made humans more social, it was probably a survival trait to some extent, but humans are fully capable of coming together to kill each other just as easily as they concoct a mass belief. It’s a mixed bag, and therefore as neutral as any other aspect of our genetic makeup.
All of this, in my opinion, says a lot about our psychological and physiological makeup as a species, but does nothing to support the existence of an actual supernatural entity. Just because we might “need” a god doesn’t mean he’s actually there.

Welcome to the City of Redondo Beach and the web site for the Harbor Division.
The Waterfront is primed for a once-in-a-generation revitalization opportunity with new public and private investment. Many Waterfront business owners have committed to significant renovations and the City has also invested in public facilities in the area, including:
- A Joint Harbor Patrol and County Lifeguard Facility
- Renovation of the Seaside Lagoon Building
- Pier Streetscape Improvements
- Pier Parking System Upgrades
- Harbor Drive Streetscape Improvements
Some of the area's most prominent improvements are attributed to partnerships with private investors and developers including the architectural renovation of RDR Properties' Redondo Landing on the Pier and Zislis Group's Shade Hotel on Harbor Drive, which opened in October 2016.
The most significant component of the revitalization effort is the proposed redevelopment of over 30 acres of the Waterfront which is being stewarded by CenterCal Properties. The development concept proposed CenterCal, an El Segundo-based developer, was approved by the Harbor Commission and the City Council and is currently awaiting consideration by the California Coastal Commission.

Following an organization’s investigation into black drug trafficking, the RCMP set up a drug depot on a bus and arrested three
suspects on Vancouver Island.
P.n.. The RCMP clarified the matter in a statement released today (February 13).

Set from September 6-10, this year's F'lomlok Festival celebration is now on the 10th year and will be in commemoration of the town's 56th founding anniversary. The festival was named after a B'laan word "F'lomlok" which means hunting grounds, it is also from where the name of the town Polomolok was derived, because of its abundance of wild life in the past and even until now.
Many exciting events are lined up for the 5-day celebration, among these are the torch and float parade, Mountain Bike Cross Country Competition, Polomolok Got Talent, Cheer leading competition, and the Drum and Lyre Competition which will be participated by different schools in Polomolok. There will be also tree planting activities, blood letting and a job fair.
As shown in the updated F'lomlok Festival 2013 Schedule of Events below, looks like there will be a lot of celebrities coming from Manila to join in this year's festivities and that all artists invited by the municipal government will be coming from GMA Network. There will be a Kapuso Fiesta Concert on September 7 and the Kapuso Night Concert on September 5.
I am excited to know who among the rosters of celebrities from the Kapuso Network will be coming to Polomolok to celebrate with South Cotabateños the 10th F'lomlok Festival, how about you?
Meanwhile, below is the Schedule of Events for F'lomlok Festival 2013.

A Gauteng couple from Ekhurhuleni, accused of South African Revenue Services (SARS) tax fraud worth more than R53 million, was granted bail on Wednesday 26 August.
The Palm Ridge Specialised Commercial Crimes Court granted the couple R100 000 bail each.
COUPLE ALLEGEDLY COMMITS SARS FRAUD
It is alleged that the divorced couple, Christo Francois Pienaar, 64, and Elsie Elizabeth Pienaar, 62, allegedly created and submitted false tax invoices to SARS during June 2013 and March 2014.
The accused handed themselves over to the Palm Ridge police accompanied by their legal representatives on Wednesday.
According to Captain Ndivhuwo Mulamu, various items such as documents relating to an alleged second-hand gold purchase from Malibongwe Metals & Minerals and Hennox8321 CC, are already in the Hawks’ Serious Commercial Investigation custody.
The case has been postponed to 6 November 2020 pending further investigation.
HOME AFFAIRS OFFICIAL ARRESTED FOR CORRUPTION IN MPUMALANGA
The Hawks, in collaboration with the Department of Home Affairs and others, arrested a 38-year-old Home Affairs official for alleged fraud in Witbank on Wednesday.
The Department of Home Affairs allegedly noticed irregularities on the issuing of birth certificates to foreign nationals during an internal inspection in January this year.
“An internal investigation was instituted and the suspect promised the Home Affairs investigator money in order to discontinue the investigation against him. The matter was reported to the Serious Corruption Investigation for further investigation,” the Hawks said in a statement.
A multi-disciplinary operation was conducted and the suspect was arrested immediately after handing over R13 000 gratification to the Home Affairs investigator. During the operation the team managed to seize identity documents, a sizable amount of cash and other items.
The suspect was due to appear in the eMalahleni Magistrate’s Court on Thursday for contravening the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Activities Act 12 of 2004.
RAMAPHOSA SAYS IT’S NOT HIS JOB TO INVESTIGATE
While answering oral questions in the National Assembly on Thursday 27 August, Ramaphosa said it’s not his job to arrest or investigate those responsible for fraud and corruption.
The president said his job is to strengthen the agencies that are meant to arrest and investigate those involved in corruption.
“What I need to say is this: It is not the president’s duty to arrest people – the day that happens, you must run for the hills! When that happens, and a president starts putting people in jail, you have no democracy,” he said.
“My task is to strengthen the institutions that investigate crime. Without these institutions, all you have is a crazy president, running around and arresting people themselves. South Africa does not want that” he added.

LDV's troubles were a surprise for many of its own workers
The government has told struggling van manufacturer LDV, which employs 900 people in Birmingham, it cannot expect a £30m bail-out to help cover its losses.
One worker at the plant in Birmingham, who did not want to be named, said it had come as an almost complete shock.
He said: "We knew that we were in trouble but I didn't realise how bad it was.
"I thought we could weather the storm and it would pick up again. Today it really hit me."
The worker, who has a wife and two teenage children only found out how bad it had got at his workplace when he turned on the breakfast news on Monday.
"It's really annoying when the first thing you hear about it is on the telly - you're getting it third-hand.
There's been no communication between management and any of the employees, as far as I know."
The man, who has worked at LDV for 15 years, said he is not the only one feeling worried.
"I've spoken to a few friends and everyone's feeling the same. We've been let down badly, particularly by the union."
Having been sent home in December when production was stopped, it has been difficult for employees to keep track of what is going on and whether they still have a job at all, according to this worker.
He told the BBC: "Unofficially I was told by a couple of blokes at work, who are in today, that if we don't get the money by this week, we'll be closed by Friday. But this is unofficial, it's not gospel.
"I am going to go in tomorrow and try to find out what's going on."

Marvel Studios released a brand new trailer for “Avengers: Endgame” shedding more light on what might happen in the year’s most anticipated movie.
There are clues, from flashbacks to cryptic words, that suggest that the Avengers will attempt time travel to undo Thanos’s snap, which caused half of all life in the universe to disappear in “Avengers: Infinity War.”
It also appears that Tony Stark, a.k.a Iron Man, who was in space the last time we saw him, reunites with his old friends.
Following is a transcript of the video
Narrator: It’s finally here. After almost a year of waiting, Marvel has finally shown us the first full trailer for Avengers: Endgame.
Here are all the details you may have missed.
The trailer starts similar to the first trailer with Tony Stark in space sending a message to Pepper Potts, the love of his life who didn’t want him to go to space in Infinity War.
We get a bit more of the message he leaves for Pepper where he reminisces about the past, and how he became Iron Man by “fighting his way out of that cave” back in 2008’s Iron Man. He’s on the Benatar, the ship that belonged to the Guardians of the Galaxy, which he probably used to escape Thanos’ home world of Titan. It’s important that Tony is reminiscing, because in the first half of this new trailer we see a lot of flashbacks from the movies that led up to “Endgame.”
Next we see scenes from Captain America: The First Avenger where Steve Rogers is a little man before he becomes Captain America. That’s where we get what might be the biggest reveal/clue from the trailer.
Peggy Carter: “The world has changed and none of us can go back.”
Narrator: That’s the voice of Peggy Carter, Cap’s love interest from The First Avenger who passed away in Civil War. The quote is actually from Winter Soldier, when Cap visits an old Peggy in the hospital. The quote continues…
Peggy Carter: “Sometimes the best that we can do is to start over”
Narrator: As soon as this quote ends, we see Cap helping to carry Peggy’s casket at her funeral, which occurred in “Civil War” Is the “start over” part a tease to the rumors of time travel, with Cap staying behind in 1945 to grow old with Peggy? Or is it misdirection, the same way the Russo Brothers showed the Hulk fighting in Wakanda in the Infinity War trailer, just to hide the fact that it was really Bruce Banner in a Hulkbuster suit?
We also get a shot of Hawkeye showing his daughter how to shoot a bow. In the comics, Hawkeye becomes a mentor to Kate Bishop, who also takes up the Hawkeye moniker. Is Marvel setting Hawkeye’s daughter up to be the Kate Bishop of the MCU?
In this trailer we also get a bit more of the scene where Black Widow appears to go find Hawkeye, now holding a sword, and looking like his alter-ego in the comics, Ronan. It seems …read more

Escolta Block Party
Cheers to the future!
The Escolta Block Party has been growing since 2016. Last year’s edition saw the biggest Block Party ever, with over 3000 attendees, occupying two blocks along Escolta and the intersecting street. As more people take interest in Escolta, the organizing committee felt it natural to transition to a festival format that will spread out the different interests of the festival goers — from cultural work and heritage conservation, to urban planning. Thus, the transition from a one-day Block Party to a month-long Escolta Block Festival.
The Escolta Block Festival starts on November 9. It will be a celebration of arts, culture, crafts, and design, taking place in Escolta and its surrounding districts for the entire month of November. It will be a platform to celebrate Manila’s rich and vibrant history and creative communities while providing visitors the opportunity to discover, discuss, and develop a deeper understanding for arts, design, and community-building.
To learn more about the festival, here is the link to the press kit, which comes with the festival zine — a guide to what to expect at the festival — as well as a primer on Escolta Exchange, the festival’s incubator space located at the Panpisco building. Photos are also included.

I think so. As I understand the critique (and maybe I’m bringing my own baggage to it) EA brings with it a certain perspective that centers individual action and may have a tendency to overlook collective action and create certain blindspots around collective/political action.That EA principles are not philosophically inconsistent with collective action is not, I believe, actually a very effective counter-argument to that point at all.
I agree. On the same note I really enjoyed Dylan Matthews’ article about George W. Bush’s PEPFAR program, apparently pursued somewhat independently by Bush: https://www.vox.com/2015/7/8/8894019/george-w-bush-pepfar
Wow, thank you! I especially appreciate the handbook, it expresses a lot of my thoughts much better than I could have.
It also made me realise that I didn’t express the point you make in the very first section although it’s kind of critical to my feeling that there’s so much opportunity here—ie that politics is sort of unique in that it calls for mass engagement, and there are so many opportunities to be involved just as a citizen (or group of citizens) without necessarily making it your profession or becoming some kind of expert. Which is not generally often true in other spheres (eg charity) in my opinion.
Thank you for the resources and insightful comments! I pretty much agree with all of that.
If we’re talking US Congress, then I also definitely agree that’s super difficult and a huge investment. While it’ll be relevant for some, maybe the more useful examples would be running for local office, getting involved in some of the organisations that work on primary challenges, or simply supporting the best candidate for office (with money and volunteer time) when elections do come around (looking at you Georgia).
Also for context, my family are American but I’m actually a New Zealand citizen and we have proportional representation which does make the national-level politics a very different beast.
I think the find-the-biggest-demos argument is probably the strongest argument for government spending instead of philanthropy. I really disagree with the nationalism inherent in the premise of the last two defenses for reasons of equity. I also don’t think that the nation is an obvious level to spend philanthropy at when most very rich people made their money through a globalized market
I think there’s a mistake here. Yes it’s partly about “democracy” in the nation-state sense but it’s also a lot more specific than that, and it’s about appropriate decision-making in and by communities that are effected by those decisions.
This is quite obvious in the education policy sphere, which is where this debate often comes up. The question is whether students, parents, teachers, and local communities should be front and center in setting the direction of an education system, or whether it’s a good idea for individual rich people to set that policy agenda.
A similar dynamic happens a huge amount in the developing world, and it’s criticised not only on the basis that it’s anti-democratic and dis-empowering, but also because it rarely works out to decide from the outside what is best for a group of people without their input or buy-in.
I think some areas are more suited to philanthropy than others (Bill Gates for example does a pretty excellent job focussing on things that private philanthropy is unique well suited for). Philanthropy, national-level government, local government—all of these things are better suited to different things. The ultimate point is about accountability to your constituency/beneficiaries which I don’t think is easily discussed in the abstract. What kinds of causes/actions are ripe for private philanthropic investment and which are in need of grassroots democratic intervention is something I’d personally love to see more discussion of.
PS. Sorry for bringing up such an old thread!
Is the argument actually “against” philanthropy though? As I read the original content, the argument is for greater democratic scrutiny of large philanthropic gifts, as well as potential measures to reduce inequality generally and the elimination or minimisation of certain tax breaks, which is a much narrower debate.
I’ve not really seen a serious argument that philanthropy should be done away with. In fact, I think the argument is really more about failures in democracy than failures in philanthropy—democracy’s arguable failure to provide basic needs (thus charitable giving having to pick up the slack) and the influence of money in policy and politics.

- A Brief Response to Ma Xu
China Review International volume 22, number 2 (2015) features Ma Xu’s suggestion of a new title for my book, Heroines of the Qing: Exemplary Women Tell Their Stories (Seattle and London: University of Washington Press, 2016). While I appreciate Ma Xu’s suggestion, I am not prepared to find new titles—such as “Another Poet-Autobiographer,” following Professor Stephen Owen’s work on Tao Qian as the first Chinese poet-autobiographer; or “Yet Another Expression of Self,” following Professor Robert E. Hegel’s work on expressions of self in Chinese literature—for any works that discuss the shaping of the self in Chinese literature.1 Likewise I have no plans of adopting this new title “Herself an Autobiographer” as an imitation of Professor Grace Fong’s work on women’s autobiographical writings.
The question I set out to address in this book is on what terms writing women engaged with the discourse of female exemplarity. That being said, I am more than happy to acknowledge my indebtedness to Professors Kang-i Sun Chang, Grace Fong, Beata Grant, Clara Ho, Wilt Idema, Dorothy Ko, Susan Mann, Maureen Robertson, Ellen Widmer, Harriet Zurndorfer—among others—who have opened up a new field of research. Professor Fong in particular has developed useful strategies for reading women’s autobiographical writings and has made a database of these writings available to those who hope to explore them to address various questions—such as the one I have in mind.
As for the question of women’s “half-full-half-empty agency,” Ma Xu’s use of the example of Cao Zhenxiu’s portrait makes me wonder how “full” she expects the glass to be since, in the cases of commissioned portraits, we would expect the subject of the portrait to complete his or her self-image by the painter’s hand—through dictating to and negotiating with the painter how he or she would like to be portrayed.2 It is moreover ahistorical to use modern standards of a “full glass”—I would appreciate a clear definition here—to measure the degrees of agency women exercised during the Qing. Please reread pages 13–14, and 156–157. In broader terms, women’s writings from this time draw my attention because they throw various stereotypes into question, including those of the “exemplary women” in Chinese history. I am not concerned whether they fit neatly into modern expectations of women’s agency. [End Page 131]

When I was a young girl, whenever we visited my grandparents every weekend, I would like to run over to the small magazine store across the road to buy my favourite comic books with money given by my father.
I had a few of series that I follow. I cannot really remember them now. Most are stories for girls like Princess Sapphire and Candy Candy. But I also read other stories like “Hao Xiao Zi” and even classic Chinese comics like “Lao Fu Zi”!
But I loved most are the following:
Princess Knight (Princess Sapphire)
This is a story about a Western princess being disguised as a Prince to be the heir to the throne and her adventures.
This is about an orphaned girl in USA and her story with her childhood friends and her love. It traces her life as a little baby abandoned at a convent, to her difficult but eventful teenage years as a helper and then an adopted child in a rich family and her love story with a classmate till adulthood.
Hao Xiao Zi
This story is about a young Japanese boy, who was accidentally taken away from home and led a vagrant life with his father, and his struggles trying to re-integrate into the society and his adventures in school and his favourite sport of Kendo.
There were many more but I cannot remember them now. There’s one about a very good surgeon who was marginalized from the society. As far as I know, the first two, Princess Sapphire and Candy Candy were made into animated series and broadcasted. I even own a DVD set for the latter.
Those were during the days of my youth.
As I grew older and started working, I stopped reading them till I discovered “Hana Yori Dango” through the Korean drama “Boys Over Flowers” that had adapted its story. Hana Yori Dango is a Japanese manga series about a poor girl and a very rich boy and their struggles to be together.

Miele Complete C3 Cat & Dog Canister Vacuum
Pet owners often face a unique challenge when it comes to keeping the home clean. Pet hair and odors are often difficult for traditional vacuum cleaners
to adequately handle. With the Miele Cat & Dog canister vacuum cleaner, you can do just that - remove pet hair (across all surfaces), reduce pet
odors and help to keep your home cleaner and freer or allergens. With the Cat and Dog in tow, I spent a weekend catching up on some much needed
house cleaning, and this is how the Cat & Dog performed.
What I like about the Miele C3 Cat & Dog Canister Vacuum
The Cat & Dog has tools that are uniquely suited for homes with pets. In terms of filtration, the sealed system ensures excellent
airflow but also keeps allergens, dirt and debris from escaping. The G/N bag traps hair while the Active AirClean filter serves two purposes. First,
it uses activated carbon to adsorb nasty pet odors. Second, in addition to the carbon, the filter also contains an AirClean filter that removes a
wide range of microparticles. You may notice that the Cat & Dog vacuums
are the only ones that boast 12-stage filtration. This is due to the carbon (an additional stage of filtration) in the Active AirClean filters.
Overall, the Active AirClean filter and filterbags tackle the odors and hair that often plague homes with pets.
The next way in which the Cat & Dog is well suited for cleaning up after pets deals with the tools that are included with this
model. For floors, there is the SBB 300-3, a mainstay tool when it comes to cleaning smooth flooring. For carpets, the Cat and Dog comes with
the SEB 228. I have always liked this carpet cleaning tool. It has a wide cleaning path (14") and is height adjustable. Because the
Complete C3 has a brushroll control switch on the handle it is easy to disengage the brushroll and rely on straight suction to clean. I like this setup,
particularly when you are cleaning carpet but then have a small area of smooth flooring to tackle. The SEB 228 is strong enough to pull out
pet hair from any pile and density of carpet.
Also included in the box is the STB 101 turbobrush. This tool is handy for cleaning upholstered furniture or carpeted steps. This air
driven tool is compact and will fit in spaces where the SEB 228 will not. Lastly, the Cat and Dog has the three standard mini accessories
tucked conveniently away under the hood.
For overall features, the Complete C3 Cat & Dog has dumped the rotary dial in favor of +/- foot buttons. The Vortex motor is encased and when combined
with the silence insulation, my dog hardly batted an eye while I was cleaning. I literally had to tell him to move so I could vacuum where he
was laying. The raised bumper is a nice feature on this C3 model. The bumper strip only sticks up a fraction of an inch but it helps to avoid
damage or marks caused from canister bouncing off a coffee or end table. Finally, the Cat and Dog has a durable ABS shell, that resists the dings
of everyday use while the warranty provides unmatched piece of mind in your investment.
What I do not like about the Miele C3 Cat & Dog Canister Vacuum
There are few drawbacks to this model beyond cost. Like all Miele's the Cat and Dog carries a premium price tag, but unlike other
vacuums, Miele's generally run for anywhere from 2-5 times as long as a less expensive vacuum. Aside from any issues with price, the only
thing that I would have liked to have seen with this model that is not included or available is some type of brush attachment to help remove loose
pet hair. My dog has little issue with vacuum cleaners, and a brush that would help me remove then suck up with dog hair all in one
step would be a great addition. Perhaps that's a good R&D suggestion to pass along to Miele?
The Miele Cat & Dog is an excellent vacuum for pet owners. No matter if you have a dog, cat or gerbil, the Cat & Dog canister can remove hair, soil and
mess that these four-legged friends can leave behind. The filtration does a great job at removing dander and hair, and most tools that you would need
to clean up after pets are included. The body and motor are covered by a 7 year warranty, though most Miele owners have their vacuums for literally a
decade or two before they ever need to think about replacing it. In all, you cannot go wrong with this vacuum for any household that has pets.

It can. Haven't had any problems with the game regarding resolution settings. You can also tweak the graphic settings further outside of the game from the config file. I recommend unlocking the texture resolution which is low by default, even if you set the game to High from in-game.
10-29-2011, 12:54 PM
Well, ok then, I bought it.
Hope it runs well!

Well I can't run the game at 1980 x 1080 nor can I find a config file to adjust it.

A NEW REFERENCE
At this moment, we truly believe that our E-117 Tri Disc is the most relevant purchase for the new generation of athletes now coming to the sport of triathlon
A TRI BIKE FOR THE FORWARD THINKING TRIATHLETE
Disc brakes have become the new norm even with consumers who don’t always understand the real advantages of having disc brakes on their bikes. A lot of the newcomers to triathlon are now looking to buy disc brake equipped bikes not simply because they have become the latest standard in the business, but also because they see it as a better investment for the future.
The E-117 Tri Disc will probably be your first major bike purchase and like most aspiring triathletes, you may not have a lot of experience as a cyclist. Disc brakes should help boost your confidence.
Purchasing a E-117 Tri Disc will also prove helpful for you, as a more experienced triathlete, if you are looking to buy a tri bike and build it up with high-end carbon race wheels at a reasonable price.
*NOTE: The actual specs differ from the description in the graphic; call the store for specifics


Uncontested elections are even worse
Petitioning recently ended for the members of the political duopoly for their upcoming primary election in Illinois taking place on March 17, 2020. Only in two counties was a political party that was neither Democrat nor Republican allowed to slate candidates for their own partisan primary. Libertarians in McLean and Kankakee counties recently filed their petitions for their own party primary.
It’s bad enough when your choices are often limited to Democrat or Republican, but when there’s another option on your ballot because they earned their status as a major party, that is quite a big deal. McLean County earned their status as a result of the 2016 presidential election with just over 6 percent and was able to extend it further through 2022 with an outstanding return for their countywide candidate, Lex Green, who ran for county treasurer in 2018. Kankakee County earned their status as a result of the 2018 statewide election, where former Kankakee resident Mike Leheney secured just over 5 percent in the county.
Meanwhile, in most counties, there is the ongoing plague of uncontested races.
: U.S. Senator Dick Durbin is not facing a primary challenge in 2020, while the Republicans have a five-way primary with Robert Marshall, Peggy Hubbard, Casey Chlebel, Mark Curran and Tom Tarter in the race. At a bare minimum, the Libertarian Party will slate a candidate despite the high potential of former Chicago mayoral candidate Willie Wilson running as an independent. I really see no attempt taking place from the Green or Constitution parties.
: U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis is not facing a primary challenge either, while the Democrats have a two-way primary between 2018 opponent Betsy Dirksen-Londrigan and Stefanie Smith. With Rep. John Shimkus retiring, there is a contested race for the first time in decades with a potential six-way Republican primary and four-way Democratic primary.
: Neither seat in Senate Districts 48 or 51 are being contested in 2020. The seats are currently held by Andy Manar (D-Bunker Hill) and Chapin Rose (R-Mahomet) respectively. 12 of 20 seats
up in 2020 are not being contested
, according to a report
Monday from The Center Square.
: Two representatives in the region — Sue Scherer (D-Decatur, HD96) and Brad Halbrook (R-Shelbyville, HD102) — are running unopposed
, while Avery Bourne (R-Raymond, HD95) is not only facing a primary challenge from Lawrence Oliver, but also a general election contention against Democrat Chase Wilhelm. The same report from The Center Square reported that 54 of 118 seats are not being contested
in the spring or in November.
: Two of three county officials will not see opposition
in March of November, as Republicans will continue to hold the offices of circuit clerk and coroner via Holly Lemons and Randy Leetham. The state’s attorney race is being contested between Democratic incumbent Bryant Hitchings and Republican Andrew Affrunti, a rematch from the 2018 special election to fill the term expiring in December 2020. Most of the county board’s seats are going uncontested, even with primary challenges in Districts 2 and 3. (Editor note: I have planned on running as a Libertarian for one of the seats in District 2.)
: Democrats will not see a challenge for any county official positions, including the board of review. The same is true for respective races on the county board involving Republicans.
: Unlike the previous two counties, the offices of state’s attorney and coroner will be contested in November. Coroner Brian Green cited he would not seek re-election in 2020. Unless a nomination in vacancy is filed by June, a Democrat will be uncontested for the office of circuit clerk. Uncontested races appear highly likely for county board positions as well.
: The office of state’s attorney and coroner will be contested in November. However, the offices of county auditor, circuit clerk, and most county board districts will likely go uncontested.
For a nation which has thrived on competitive spirit, there really isn’t much of that to go around in Illinois, where the average rate of contested political races for state and Federal legislative offices linger around 67 percent and lesser races from countywide downward around 80 percent. Let’s not think of the excessively high rate of nonpartisan elected positions that go uncontested each consolidated cycle, with the next one to come in 2021.
You can attribute all of this to election laws that are more than 80 years old, intentionally trying to keep other choices off the ballot. If you’re not a Democrat or Republican — depending on the political race you’re running for — you have to collect a wide and unclear range to reach a specific threshold. You want to run for state legislature? You have to collect 3 to 5 times the amount as both parties and hope you have enough to survive a potential challenge. You want to run for a statewide office? You have to collect a minimum of 5 times the amount as both parties and then some to get on the ballot. You want to run for a countywide office or for county board? Depending on the race, county and voter turnout, you’re collecting between 25 and over 100 times the threshold granted to both parties.
This is blatantly intentional
by the Democratic and Republican parties in Illinois and these laws can easily be labeled as one huge thing: unconstitutional censorship.
Allow me to explain: I’ve petitioned for statewide candidates for the Libertarian Party of Illinois the past few cycles. We have to collect a bare minimum of 25,000 petition signatures — compared to the Democratic and Republican parties’ 5,000 — and much more in the event that we get challenged with the usual tactics of the Illinois Republican Party to censor us off the ballot with every desperate attempt possible. Now how is that not censorship?
In part of the First Amendment
of the U.S. Constitution, no law can be made to abridge one’s right to freedom of speech, the right to assemble and the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Petitioning to run for political office is in many ways considered exercising freedom of speech. You’re asking registered voters to sign a petition to get on the ballot in the general election.
The duopoly likes to dictate “the right to assemble,” manipulating where one can and cannot petition to get support. In locations where Democrats and Republicans have petitioned for the primary, they try to deter anyone else from petitioning there, often using manipulative tactics to discredit any petition signatures collected in that area.
We exercise our right to petition the government. This is not just limited to grievances, but when you’re fed up with the career politicians in power and
those who don’t represent the best interests of the people and decide to run for office.
The duopoly tries hard to keep the Libertarian Party, the Green Party, the Constitution Party or anyone else off the ballot because they want the power all to themselves.
I’ve followed some of the legal cases in the past several years where the issue of ballot access, explicitly that of petition signatures and/or filing fees, including that of fellow Libertarian D. Frank Robinson, who has been calling for years to take this issue as far as it will go, but it’s been met with deaf ears before the Libertarian National Committee
Meanwhile, I’ve started the lobbying process as Political Director of the Libertarian Party of Illinois
(LPIL) to get proposed legislation heard revising the current Election Code to considerably reduce the number of petition signatures for “new parties” and independents to equal that of the Democratic and Republican parties. There are Libertarians across the country who anticipate that this will work out for LPIL and all other parties in the end.
However, if the legislative process fails, it may come to a lawsuit where I end up working with Frank. But let’s see how this plays out first.

Dermatologic Surgery Pathways To Healthy Skin
WHAT IS DERMATOLOGIC SURGERY?
Dermatologic surgery is that discipline which deals with diagnosis and treatment of conditions of the skin, hair, nails, mucous membranes and adjacent tissues by various surgical methods. It is a means of repairing and/or improving the fraction and appearance of skin tissue.
Dermatologic surgery is a sub-specialty of dermatology, one of 23 medical and surgical specialties recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties.
WHO IS A DERMATOLOGIC SURGEON?
A dermatologic surgeon is trained and experienced in the use of a wide variety of surgical and non-surgical modalities to treat an entire organ — the skin — and its problems. A dermatologic surgeon demonstrates competence in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of:
* Diseases and disorders of the skin, hair, nails, veins and mucous membranes
* Benign and malignant growths and skin cancers
* Aging and sun-damaged skin
* Cosmetic improvement of the skin
WHAT TRAINING DOES A DERMATOLOGIC SURGEON RECEIVE?
Dermatologic surgeons are physicians who have completed an internship and at least three additional years of specialized training in the medical and surgical treatment of skin disorders, including a core curriculum in the therapeutic, reconstructive and cosmetic treatment of skin conditions. Clinical training in residency programs nationwide focuses on the treatment of allergies and immunology, cryosurgery, dermatologic surgery, laser surgery, dermatopathology, clinical pathology, parasitology, photobiology, physiotherapy, topical and systemic pharmacology and microbiology, including sexually transmitted diseases. As a group, most dermatologic surgeons are Board-certified by the American Board of Dermatology.
WHAT PROCEDURES DO DERMATOLOGIC SURGEONS TYPICALLY PERFORM?
Numerous procedures and techniques have been developed, refined and used by dermatologic surgeons. Treatment methods most commonly utilized are those that accomplish tissue removal, lesion removal, primary closure, adjacent tissue transfer and tissue augmentation. These include, but are not limited to:
Blepharoplasty – Upper and lower eyelid surgery to remove loose skin and excess fatty tissue.
Chemical peeling – Application of a chemical solution to remove the outer layer of skin to treat fine lines, wrinkles, mild scarring, acne, skin discoloration and pre-cancerous growths.
Cosmetic rejuvenative surgery – Aesthetic procedures to enhance the appearance of the skin, e.g., facial resurfacing, scalp reduction for hair loss, rhytidectomy etc.
Cryosurgery – Freezing the skin tissue with liquid nitrogen to remove skin growths.
Curettage and desiccation – Use of a sharp instrument to scrap away skin tissue, followed by application of a heated electric needle to destroy skin growths.
Dermabrasion – Surgical sanding or planing of the outer layer of skin to improve acne and other scars, remove tattoos and minimize age spots, wrinkles and certain types of skin growths.
Excision and closure – Cutting into the skin to remove a growth and then closing the wound with stitches.
Flap surgery – Transfer of adjacent skin tissue, often used to move hair-bearing skin to cover balding areas of the scalp.
Grafting – Surgical transplantation of a patch of skin to repair a defect.
Hair replacement surgery – A variety of techniques, such as punch grafts, scalp reduction and scalp flaps, to correct baldness anti restore a person s natural hairline.
Laser surgery – A beam of laser light directed at a site to selectively eliminate tissue abnormalities, such as skin lesions and tattoos and to resurface facial skin.
Micropigmentation – A permanent method of implanting pigment into the skin to add color for the treatment of vitiligo, skin grafts or burn scars and for cosmetic purposes.
Mohs micrographic surgery- Precise removal of skin cancer layer by layer with the aid of a microscope.
Nail surgery – Removal or repair of a nail abnormality for the purposes of diagnosis and/or treatment

Tissue expansion – A technique used to close large surgical wounds and aid in reconstructive surgery.
Tumescent liposuction – A resculpturing technique to remove unwanted fat deposits from specific body areas using only local anesthesia.
WHERE IS TREATMENT USUALLY PERFORMED?
Most often, dermatologic surgical procedures are effectively and efficiently performed with utmost safety in a doctor’s office, surgical suite or out-patient surgical centaur. This offers a cost-saving alternative to hospital stays. Under special circumstances, treatment may be delivered in a hospital operating room.
WHAT RESULTS CAN BE EXPECTED?
The resells achieved largely depend not only on the skill and experience of the dermatologic surgeon, but also on a patient’s age, general health, overall skin texture, healing capacity and. the specific skin problem. A patient’s realistic expectations also help contribute to a positive outcome.
