Bespoke fashion isn’t a new concept – The centuries-old practice of buying less, but buying better
Bespoke fashion isn’t a new thing. Before fashion became a 52-drops-a-year commodity, bespoke was the only way, and the average woman owned very little of it. What she did own, was handmade, handed down from generation to generation, made from scratch for the individual – the best kind in my books.
Elizabethan women owned small capsule wardrobes of essential items long before it became fashionable to embrace minimalism. The staple Elizabethan wardrobe was modest; a few home smocks, four or five dresses, and a coat. For women in the upper half of the middle class – a corset, a few accessories and your market basket were what set you apart, but generally necessity took precedence over trends.
The need for practicality also meant that what you did own was made to last – it took so long and cost so much that it had to! Trends may have changed in the fashion world, but the value, beauty and art of bespoke have not, and I love bringing the magic of bespoke back to life every day in my studio.
There’s something special about a handmade, perfectly-fitted garment that speaks for itself. There’s a certain beauty in a finished product borne of hours and hours of intricate work, and it’s something only bespoke fashion possesses. You can see it, you can feel it, you can sense it, and when a woman steps into her finished bespoke outfit for the first time, she lights up.
Bespoke fashion is about owning a smaller wardrobe, but a better wardrobe, and treasuring what you do own. Unlike made-to-measure or ‘off the rack’ fashion, bespoke fashion fits like a glove, snug, to perfection. It is exclusively yours, it means something, and it’s an investment – a worthy one.
Pop into my Albert Park studio in Melbourne for a consultation and I’ll show you just how good bespoke fashion can feel.

Coastal lawmaker wants to create fish farming industry in NC
A proposal moving through the state Senate calls for leasing waters off the North Carolina coast so people can farm fish.Posted — Updated
"We're creating an industry here," sponsor Sen. Bill Cook, R-Beaufort, told members of the Senate Finance Committee this week. "This is not something we're doing in North Carolina. This will allow us to do fish farming and bring in some big bucks."
Sebastian Belle, executive director of the Maine Aquaculture Association, told lawmakers that fish farming is a $100 million business in his state, which has been leasing areas along its coast for 35 years.
"The sector is growing worldwide," Belle said, adding that fish farming "will help keep kids in those (coastal) communities working on the waterfront."
The North Carolina legislation prohibits leases that would interfere with navigation channels or public access to waters and in areas with existing commercial shellfish beds, that are used extensively for hunting or fishing or that have been declared off-limits because of pollution. The 10-year leases would cost $210 per acre per year, and the Department of Environmental Quality would be allowed to terminate a lease for non-payment of rent, discontinuation of a farming operation on the leased site or failure to mark the boundaries of the leasehold.
Anyone caught stealing fish from a leased site could be charged with a misdemeanor and be fined up to $5,000, under the proposal.
Jerry Schill, director of government relations for the North Carolina Fisheries Association, said commercial fishermen don't oppose opening state waters to fish farming, saying the new industry "would augment" existing operations.
The bill directs the state Marine Fisheries Commission to petition the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to draft rules that would also allow fish farming in federal waters off North Carolina's coast.
The measure heads to the Senate Rules Committee before getting a floor vote.

Name: Veronica Stone
Birth date: June 1st
Height: 5 Feet
Body Type: Petite
Hair color: Dark Brown (Slightly longer than shoulder length)
Eye color: Brown
Education: High School graduate. Took several college courses, focused on photography. She dropped out after getting about 30 credit hours.
Attire: Ron doesn't have much money, so she tends to dress in the cheapest clothes she can find. A number of old t-shirts fill her wardrobe. She tends to wear clothes until they fall apart, before reluctantly replacing them.
Story: Veronica grew up in a small city in Ohio, just north of Cincinnati. Shortly after starting Kindergarten she realized how much she hated the name Veronica, and started to go by Ron, even though her teachers and parents tried to tell her that was a male name.
Growing up, she was introverted, and was more likely to spend time hiding in her room, reading a book, then to spend time out playing with her peers. Her parents feared this would stunt her social development, but despite their best efforts, they couldn't seem to break her out of her shell. It wasn't until her grandparents bought her an old 110 camera, that she finally found something that interested her. After that, her parents couldn't buy her enough film. As the years went on, she went through multiple camera's before getting her first SLR as a Freshman in high school.
Shortly before starting her Junior year in college, she dropped out to move to New York and pursue her dream of being a photographer.
Premise: This character is at the core a writing exercise. I asked my Twitter followers for inspiration and ran with it. I've strayed horribly from the original premise... to the point that the only semblance to the original suggestion is the character name. And in regards to the character name, one might wonder why I made the character female, when I was given the name “Ron Stone” … I figured it would be different than what was expected. And as I started writing, I got to the 5th section, and thought to myself... “This character would work better as a woman.” So a few quick rewrites later, Ron Stone become Veronica Stone. And my justification for still using the name “Ron” is up above.
Future Plans: I honestly like this character. So, I'm going to keep writing her until this story is completed, or until it necessitates such major rewrites that it would be impossible to continue in the current form. If at all possible, I will probably write her character into a future project, and might even try to bring her into our Supara universe, with a few minor changes, and naturally changing “New York” to “Supara”... Might even go ahead and get a concept sketch done...

The Information and Communication Technology and Electoral Modernization: Lessons from the Philippines
AbstractThis essay examines the history of electoral modernization in the Philippines from its beginning in the early 1990s to the present. The essay identifies the problems the country has encountered and accomplishments it has achieved and draws lessons from these experiences which may be useful for electoral modernization in other countries with similar socioeconomic conditions. It will become clear that not only the characteristics of the technologies but also political,legal, administrative, economic, and even socio-cultural factors have significant influence, both positive and negative, on the modernization process.

These days, there's nothing special or surprising about retro-style indie games designed in the Metroidvania mold. Once a vanishing resource upon the earth, the Metroidvania has become one of the mainstays of contemporary game development. And that's fine by me—I say, keep 'em coming. That said, a new work in this style really has to step outside the extremely well-defined boundaries of the Super Metroid template in order to catch my eye at this point.
Matt Kap's Astalon: Tears of the Earth hits the mark. A follow-up to Castle in the Darkness, Astalon sees Kap reaching back into video game history to a time well before Super Metroid. It arguably looks back to even before the original Metroid. Instead of taking the familiar Nintendo-inspired road, Astalon draws heavily upon the old PC and 8-bit console works of developer Nihon Falcom, particularly their Dragon Slayer series. Americans saw a handful of games in that franchise manifest back in the day with Legacy of the Wizard and Faxanadu for NES and Romancia for PCs, but their work in this style goes back even further, to 1985's Xanadu.
Kap admits he's never really dedicated much time to mastering those particular games, but he finds them fascinating and inspirational. Astalon, then, is designed around his vision of what those games were like—the ideas they evoke in him. What he's created is an exploratory platformer with a heavy puzzle element, but without the crushing difficulty for which Falcom's work was known.
Astalon gives players control over three different characters, whom you can alternate between at campsites located around the game world. You have your standard warrior with a strong, short-range sword strike; a wizard whose projectiles only travel half the screen but can pass through barriers; and a valkyrie whose arrows fly the length of the screen but can be blocked by walls and obstacles. The characters each appear to have minor differences in their play handling, but all three can perform a wall jump to reach higher areas. And all three share a common health bar which can't initially be recharged—damage, at least in the BitSummit demo, is permanent.
This isn't a short, nasty, brutish game like Rogue Legacy, though. Permanent death doesn't factor into Astalon. Instead, much as in the Ninja Gaiden-inspired The Messenger, death isn't the end here. When your party inevitably falls in action, they form a pact with a demonic presence who returns them to the world—presumably at a cost. According to Kap, this infernal ally unlocks new gameplay options and mechanics throughout the full game as well.
What really sets Astalon apart from countless other free-roaming platformers, at least to my mind, is the deftness with which the game captures the vibe of early proto-Metroidvania games. Progression plays out screen-by-screen—there's no free-scrolling—so every screen presents you with a sort of isolated puzzle to solve. Except these puzzles aren't really isolated. They often involve bringing keys or objects from elsewhere in the dungeon to a specific place in order to unlock a door. Even in the early going, you'll often need to reach an out-of-the-way objective by tracing an alternate route that begins several screens back. Again, Astalon feels heavily puzzle-oriented, with progression gated less by character skills and more by keys located within the environment.
It's sort of an obvious detail, but the screen-by-screen design of Astalon feels distinct from old-school action games like Montezuma's Revenge thanks to the aspect ratio of modern screens. Astalon presents itself with NES-style graphics, but like Shovel Knight, it doesn't restrict itself to 256x224 pixel resolution. Instead, you have roughly two NES screens worth of widescreen pixel information splashed across each screen, which allows the puzzle-like nature of the action to breathe a little more freely than it did on actual 8-bit systems. Combined with the fluid controls of the characters, Astalon really does capture the exploratory essence of those old PC action games without becoming mired in the frustrations they suffered from. The closest contemporary it really has is La-Mulana 2, although it seems brisker and less focused around solving cryptic riddles than Nigoro's long-awaited platformer.
Unlike Castle in the Darkness, Kap will be bringing Astalon to a variety of platforms. He admits he built his previous game in software that doesn't easily allow for porting. Astalon, on the other hand, has been built from the ground-up in Unity. Although the game is definitely early at the moment (Kap says he tossed together a demo build and decided to bring it to BitSummit at literally the last moment), it's already shaping up to be quite a promising take on a well-worn genre.

In Bollywood, it's pretty easy to be a victim of wardrobe malfunction. But seldom one can escape from it. While attending the glitzy events Bollywood divas need safety pins and an entourage to keep their elaborate outfits in place! But what if the situation goes out of control? So, at such times we have people like Sonam Kapoor, who come to the rescue of their counterparts.
At the Red Carpet of Filmfare pre-awards bash, fashionista Sonam Kapoor, who's always prim and proper about her ways, seemingly helped Jacqueline Fernandez, who was clad in a short sexy black dress, evade a probable wardrobe malfunction. Sonam was spotted covering Jacqueline's back, while the paparazzi burst the flashbulbs.


Leaked a while ago, the Sony Xperia E and Sony Xperia E dual just got their official announcement.
The Sony Xperia E duo consists of two affordable smartphones with a 3.5-inch displays of HVGA resolution and packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM7227A chipset with a 1GHz CPU.
It may not sound like a big deal, but it's enough for the Xperia E to run Android 4.1 out of the box. The dual-SIM-packing Xperia E dual, however, will launch with Android 4.0 ICS with an upgrade to Jelly Bean coming at a later time.
At the back, both Sony Xperia E versions feature a 3.2MP camera, but there are no front-facing snappers to be seen. There's 4GB of internal phone storage, with 2.2GB of those being user-available. Don't fret, though, as there's a microSD card slot at your disposal.
The battery has a capacity of 1530mAh and Sony says it'll be good for up to 6 hours of that sweet HD Voice-enhanced talk time and up to 530 hours of Standby on 3G. Music and video playback are rated at 30 and 8 hours respectively, which sounds more than alright, considering it's been given the xLOUD Walkman treatment.
Sony Xperia E will be available in black, white and pink, while the Xperia E Dual will be sold in black and gold only. Both the Xperia E and Xperia E Dual will launch early next year, but pricing is still unknown.

If you are a true Pokemon fanatic, you’ll immediately recognize Riolu (and its evolved form, Lucario) as one of the prominent Kanto Pokemon. You couldn’t have missed Lucario in the anime or Smash Bros, either.
Interestingly, in the original Switch version of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, Lucario was nothing less of a poster Pokemon for the game. If you are excited to have Lucario on your team, you’ll first have to catch the little Riolu.
Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl: How to Catch Riolu
On your journey, you will hit Canalave City. Here, you’ll be able to get a badge from one of the city’s gyms. As you might have observed, the Canalave is not a part of the Sinnoh mainland, so you’ll need to use the Surf HM.
Here’s a quick rundown on what you have to do:
- Head over to the cave outside the Celestic Town and beat one of the lone Team Galactic member. This is how you access the Surf HM.
- As you surf through the Canalave City, you’ll meet a sailor on the south-eastern part of the city. Interact with this sailor and take up his offer to hitchhike you to Iron Island.
- Hop onto the island with your new friend Riley. You and Riley will be running amok the Iron Island. You will be helping Riley with his quest and, in turn, he’ll be healing your team.
- At the end, Riley will give you a Riolu egg as a ‘thank-you’ gift.
That’s it! Now all you have to do is wait till the egg hatches, and you will have Riolu on your team.

In the last couple of years, the baby boomer, millennial, and gen-Z generations have seen a lot of stress, given the circumstances we’ve been in. From a pandemic and global lockdown to socio-political tensions and impending recession, there have been endless opportunities for us all to spiral, but we’ve prevailed. However, it does not mean that life continues to be stressful for you, especially if you’re an Indian studying or working abroad. A light bite of comedy can do wonders to your mental health, which is why we at Desi Play TV have brought you nostalgic comedic series to help you feel stress-free. Here are five reasons you should watch your favorite Indian comedy series today!
Instant serotonin boost:
Living away from home in the last three years has felt intense and challenging for most students and working professionals. At such times, some familiarity can make all the difference. Give your body a break from all the stress hormones and enjoy a feel-good burst of serotonin! A Bollywood movie or comedy series can bring you some desi humor that you miss in the US!
De-stresses in 30 minutes:
Comedy is an easy way to shake off the stress of the day, especially when it comes to Hindi humor. Moreover, episodes of Bhaag Bakool Bhaag are short and sweet, all but under 30 minutes! Make them your go-to de-stressor for a lighthearted evening.
Short escape from reality:
Sometimes it’s good to take a breather and take a break from reality for a while. Laughing your heart out while watching comedy can help your mind relax!
Improves your productivity:
One of the best aspects of having a hearty laugh with your favorite Hindi comedy series is feeling mentally brighter. Your mind, now refreshed, will be able to be more productive and upbeat.
Trip down nostalgic lanes:
For those living abroad, missing Indian culture and the nuanced languages is one of the biggest reasons for feeling homesick. Watching comedy Hindi TV shows from the good-old days can help you reminisce fondly and laugh while you’re at it!

Adoption of information and communication technology (ICT): A fairy tale in Bihar
Richa Kumari, Pankaj Kumar Ojha and Arunima Kumari
India is second most populous country in the world. Majority of its population lives in villages and their main occupation is farming. Agriculture contributes around 17 per cent of the total GDP, 65 per cent of Indian population lives mainly in its 600,000 villages. Farmers in India facing a lot of problems in maximizing the crop productivity because of experts/scientific advice on crop production and marketing is not reaching the farming community in a timely manner. With the fixed availability of land and water, higher agricultural growth can only be achieved by increasing productivity through effective use of the better technology; farmers also face high transaction costs and information constraints that limit optimal production and marketing choices. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have significant potential to solve these shortcomings, providing cost-effective communication that allows farmers to take advantage of previously untapped trade opportunities and to learn about previously unknown innovative practices. Since this is an era of information & technology, ICT has a great role in transforming our society. So, keeping these things in mind the present study was conducted in Samastipur district of Bihar to know that how far technologies are available and how far their implantation have been done and use more easily.

Five former Cisco engineers have co-founded a start-up called Rohati Systems whose products take dead aim at traditional perimeter firewalls.
A traditional firewall and its access control lists "is not capable of doing its job today from an access-control perspective," says CEO and President Shane Buckley. "Nowadays, your IP address just doesn't represent who you are."
Rohati will mark its debut this week with a network-based entitlement control device designed to limit access to applications, such as Microsoft's SharePoint collaboration suite, based on the user's authentication.
Called the Transaction Networking System (TNS), the appliance is intended to reside close to the data assets it protects, usually in the data center. It checks whether users should be permitted to access application data stored there based on user credentials that might include Kerberos, VPN SSL or Microsoft authentication protocol NTML.
TNS functions at the application layer to establish Layer 7 access-control lists to limit who has what access to data, Buckley says. Use of the TNS begins by putting the device in monitor mode to let it watch the users accessing the data, capturing all the transactions, such as opening and closing files.
"This way, the appliance is learning all the transactions in the network," Buckley says. This enables the appliance to build a policy that managers can refine, such as permitting or denying, or allowing reading, writing or deletion.
Now in beta and expected to ship in July, the appliance makes use of the OASIS standard called the eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) for the data-management policy.
"The appliance has a set of policies on who can have access to what based on directory attributes," Buckley says, adding that one advantage is that no changes to existing applications or new client software is required. TNS competes most directly with entitlement software from CA, Oracle, IBM Tivoli Software and Securent, which was acquired by Cisco last November for US$100 million.
Every time a user goes to access an application, a check for authorization will be made by TNS, but speed shouldn't be an issue, Buckley says, because the two models of the product, the TNS-100 and the TNS-500, scale between 4G and 40Gbps, are built on Infiniband technology and support as many as 6 million connections. In the future, the TNS is likely to be developed to do more than provide access control to applications.
"Because we control the application, this gives us the ability to do things like content cloaking, blocking out sensitive content to the viewer," Buckley says. Content filtering of various types could also be integrated into the basic architecture.
Rohati, which joined the Jericho Forum, the group dedicated to encouraging alternatives to traditional perimeter firewalls for e-commerce, is targeting TNS for organizations that allow business partners to share network resources with internal users.

Ever since Kae went into rehab there has been an enormous lack of communication. Today we had our first normal conversation in almost a month – it made me cry!
She began to tell me about the withdrawal symptoms she is experiencing a few weeks after beginning her detox. This is normal, it can last for weeks or months. Her experience has been sleeplessness, night sweats, bizarre dreams and just not feeling great. Luckily she’s only experienced this for the last couple of days.
She is about to finish her stint in rehab. Will they address this? Will she have a helpline in case of severe withdrawal symptoms now? As her mom of course these are concerns for me. If I lived close I would be getting education from the center she chose and would be able to be with her. She was planning on finding a counselor and confirming that this is normal and asking for advice on dealing with it. I am trusting that the rehab center will absolutely address this issue and send her off with the ammunition she needs going forward.
Of course they will!
Our conversation was normal today – after the first week when she was allowed to call me she seemed like herself – sober on the first phone call. She told me a little about the facility, the other addicts and her counselor. Since then our conversations have seemed stiff and forced and obligatory. This is not normal. Today it was.
I feel hopeful that this will continue!

At her lowest weight! Jessica Simpson celebrates even leaner frame in sheer top and skinny jeans while out for dinner... after losing 50 pounds earlier this year
In February Jessica Simpson revealed she lost 50 pounds on her Weight Watchers diet after giving birth to her second child Ace Knut.
When the 33-year-old reality star stepped out to Mexican restaurant Sagebrush Cantina in Calabasas on Saturday evening with fiancé Eric Johnson and daughter Maxwell, who will turn two next month, she looked like she had dropped even more weight than that.
Showing off her lean frame in a sheer black top and skinny jeans, the designer seemed to be at her lowest weight yet.

The blonde beauty wore a sheer black top that showed off her lace bra underneath when she was photographed and had straightened her famous blonde locks.
Jessica – who also has 10-month-old son Ace with Eric - accentuated her great looks with a slick of pillar box red lipstick, while she accessorised with big hooped earrings and a large gold necklace.
She injected some colour into her look courtesy of a pair of open-toe heeled shoes which were decorated with red, green and blue beaded embellishment.
Food time: Retired NFL star Eric recently headed out with Maxwell for a bite to eat in in Calabasas when they went to the Marmalade Café for a spot of brunch
Retired NFL star Eric also opted for a casual approach to the evening in terms of his clothing courtesy of a dark blue T-shirt and trousers in a similar colour.
Eric completed his all-blue look with a cap facing back to front.
Maxwell arguably looked the most fashionable of the trio thanks to her adorable little leather jacket.

Finding an Article from a Reference
This is a great resource for sampling literature reviews.
Searching Tips and Tricks
- Most databases allow for searching with Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT).
- Use AND to focus your search and combine different aspects of your topic
- Use OR to broaden your search and find sources that use different words for the same concept.
- Use NOT to omit certain terms from your results.
- Use an asterisk (*) to truncate words if you want to search for all words with that root. For example, “environment*” would search for environment, environmental, environmentalism, etc.
- Put quotes around a phrase that you want the database to search as a phrase, rather than as individual words.
- Group synonyms inside parentheses using OR between each one
URSUS is the combined library catalog for the entire University of Maine system. You can search the entire system, or select University of Southern Maine Libraries in the drop-down.
Other helpful tips:
- If you find a book that is relevant to your needs, look at the "Subject" area of the book's record. Click on a few of the subjects to find other similar books.
- In many of the book records, you can look at the table of contents - click the link under the "Inside This Book" heading. This can help you determine if a book is right for your research.
- If USM doesn't have a book you want, click the "Request" button at the top of the page and we can get it for you through interlibrary loan.
Most databases, as well as URSUS and MaineCat, assign subjects to books and articles. A subject is a designated word or phrase that describes an idea or concept and groups all articles or books about that concept together.
- Subjects are also variously called descriptors, controlled vocabulary, headings, or index terms.
- To search by subject you have to know the exact subject term. Most databases that use subjects have a Thesaurus that you can use to look up subject terms. You can also do a keyword search, find a book or article that is relevant to your research, and look at the subject terms assigned to it.
- URSUS and MaineCat use Library of Congress Subject Headings and each database has their own list of subject headings, so you have to look up subjects in each database independently.

Film Premiere Marketing Video
Following on from our project with UK Central, we continued our work with some of the most exciting projects in the West Midlands as we were commissioned to film the gala launch of the new Cineworld IMAX cinema at Resorts World Birmingham at the new NEC complex.
Just days after Resorts World Birmingham opened to the public, Cineworld launched its latest cinema in the region with a star studded VIP premiere of the new James Bond film, Spectre. Our task was to capture the glitz and glamour of the evening and to talk to the guests who were there to see Daniel Craig as 007 in the latest film in the James Bond franchise.
The IMAX cinema at Resorts World Birmingham was officially opened with the cutting of a ribbon before the screening of Spectre and the Cineworld theatre was well received by the assembled guests of celebrities and public. Among the celebrities in attendance were Danielle Lloyd, Jasper Carrott and the cast of The Only Way Is Essex. Classic British iconic cars, Jaguar, Aston Martin and Land Rover, were also on show to add to the glamour of the occasion. The brand new cinema also features a Starbucks and the Sky Bar offering stunning views of the whole Resorts World Birmingham and NEC complex.

Singing the blues
Beth Hart’s music has been described as authentic, brooding and raw – a far cry from the glossy production associated with today’s pop.
Her song book has been inspired by her chaotic upbringing in LA and her ‘rollercoaster’ life, with its fair share of heartache and trauma. People experiencing the ‘real’ Beth through her music has led the Grammy-nominated performer to become one of the most sought after artists in the United States’ blues scene. With a career spanning more than two decades, her last three albums have all topped the US Blues Chart.
But the UK is catching on fast with Beth’s 2019 album, War In My Mind, hitting the top 20. Now the American singer-songwriter is coming to Parr Hall for the first time to offer north west fans a rare chance to see her live with a full band. The 49-year-old will be doing just 10 dates in the UK as part of a world tour and she will be coming to Warrington on Wednesday, 27 October, with limited tickets still remaining.
The Parr Hall gig is the perfect time for newcomers to see Beth too as she particularly wears her heart on her sleeve with her latest album.
Beth, who has collaborated with the likes of Slash and Joe Bonamassa, said: “More than any record I’ve ever made, I’m more open to being myself on these songs. I’ve come a long way with healing, and I’m comfortable with my darknesses, weirdnesses and things that I’m ashamed of – as well as all the things that make me feel good.”
War In My Mind – produced by Rob Cavallo, known for his work with Green Day – covers a lot of ground for Beth including her 70s childhood in Los Angeles, losing her sister Sharon, personal problems which derailed her major label breakthrough in the mid-90s and finding a sense of redemption through her husband Scott and her church.
She added: “A lot of subjects are covered on War In My Mind. I’ve always tried to seek the truth on every record I’ve done. But on this album, I’m even closer to vulnerability and openness about my life, about love, addiction, my bipolar, my dad, my sister.
“I’m no longer trying to be young and competitive and all these things I’ve always felt like I’m supposed to be. On this record something just told me: ‘Just let it be what it is’. I think I’m starting to make a little headway.”
With her popularity soaring, the gig is not one to be missed by blues fans and the Parr Hall show could be one of the last chances to see Beth in an intimate concert hall before she crosses the pond to visit much bigger venues.

Eyelid Ptosis Surgery External Approach
What is an eyelid ptosis surgery external approach?
Eyelid ptosis surgery external approach is a permanent, surgical oculoplastic procedure targeting upper eyelid ptosis. Upper eyelid drooping is referred to as eyelid ptosis or blepharoptosis. This most commonly occurs in adults, although certain medical conditions such as Horner Syndrome, eye tumors, eye disease, myasthenia gravis, or nerve palsies may also cause upper eyelid ptosis.
The Anatomy of the Eye
Ptosis of the upper eyelid is caused by weakening or stretching of the levator palpebrae superioris and frontalis muscles. In an eyelid ptosis surgery external approach procedure incisions are made on the outside of the upper eyelid and excess skin can be simultaneously removed. Correction of ptosis will rejuvenate, restore, and enhance the appearance of the upper eyelid and eye.
What cosmetic concerns does an eyelid ptosis surgery external approach procedure treat?
- Sagging & Hooded Eyelids: Eyelid ptosis surgery external approach targets both the internal eye structure and the upper eyelid skin to correct a droopy eyelid or sagging eyelid, and rejuvenate facial aesthetic.
Who is the ideal candidate for an eyelid ptosis surgery external approach procedure?
The ideal candidates for an eyelid ptosis surgery external approach are those with upper eyelid ptosis with strong levator muscle function. Eyelid ptosis surgery external approach is not recommended for patients with severe ptosis, corneal sensitivity, severe dry eye, thyroid disease, Bell’s Palsy, or poor eye muscle function. These individuals are more at risk for lagophthalmos (inability to close the eyelids completely).
What is the average recovery associated with an eyelid ptosis surgery external approach procedure?
Most acute bruising, swelling, discoloration, and tenderness from an eyelid ptosis surgery external approach seen around the upper eyelids resolves with one to two weeks. Avoiding rubbing the eyes or touching the eye area and using contact lenses is recommended for a few weeks. Strenuous activity should be limited for two to three weeks.
What are the potential side effects of an eyelid ptosis surgery external approach procedure?
Potential side effects of an eyelid ptosis surgery external approach include prolonged bruising or swelling, double vision, undesirable correction of the ptosis, eyelid asymmetry or malpositioning, foreign body sensation, and development of severe dry eye.
What can someone expect from the results of an eyelid ptosis surgery external approach procedure?
The results of an eyelid ptosis surgery external approach are immediately noticeable and permanent enhancements to the upper eyelid. Patients will see the upper eyelid toned, tightened, and rejuvenated with improved positioning and possible function.
What is the average cost of an eyelid ptosis surgery external approach procedure?
An eyelid ptosis surgery external approach plastic surgery procedure can cost anywhere from $200 to $5,500. The actual cost of an eyelid ptosis surgery external approach is dependent upon location, plastic surgeon, and length and involvement of the plastic surgery.
- Ability To Control The Skin Crease
- More Swelling
- Potential Scar
An eyelid ptosis surgery external approach is a surgical ptosis repair producing permanent enhancements to the upper eyelid appearance and eyelid position. Most patients recover within two to three weeks, and are comfortable in public after two weeks.

The latest report on progress on the MDGs, the Millennium Development Goals Report 2014 has now been released by the UN
“Fourteen years ago, the Millennium Declaration articulated a bold vision and established concrete targets for improving the existence of many and for saving the
lives of those threatened by disease and hunger. There has been important progress across all goals, with some targets already having been met well ahead of the 2015 deadline. All stakeholders will have to intensify and focus their efforts on the areas where advancement has been too slow and has not reached all.
Several MDG targets have been met:
– The world has reduced extreme poverty by half In 1990, almost half of the population in developing regions lived on less than $1.25 a day. This rate dropped to 22 per cent by 2010, reducing the number of people living in extreme poverty by 700 million.
– Efforts in the fight against malaria and tuberculosis have shown results. Between 2000 and 2012, an estimated 3.3 million deaths from malaria were averted due to the substantial expansion of malaria interventions. About 90 per cent of those averted deaths—3 million—were children under the age of five living in sub-Saharan Africa. The intensive efforts to fight tuberculosis have saved an estimated 22 million lives worldwide since 1995. If the trends continue, the world will reach the MDG targets on malaria and tuberculosis.
– Access to an improved drinking water source became a reality for 2.3 billion people. The target of halving the proportion of people without access to an improved drinking water source was achieved in 2010, five years ahead of schedule. In 2012, 89 per cent of the world’s population had access to an improved source, up from 76 per cent in 1990. Over 2.3 billion people gained access to an improved source of drinking water between 1990 and 2012.
– Disparities in primary school enrolment between boys and girls are being eliminated in all developing regions. Substantial gains have been made towards reaching gender parity in school enrolment at all levels of education in all developing regions. By 2012, all developing regions have achieved, or were close to achieving, gender parity in primary education.
– The political participation of women has continued to increase. In January 2014, 46 countries boasted having more than 30 per cent female members of parliament in at least one chamber. More women are now holding some of the so-called “hard” ministerial portfolios—such as Defence, Foreign Affairs and the Environment.
– Development assistance rebounded, the trading system stayed favourable for developing countries and their debt burden remained low. Official development assistance stood at $134.8 billion in 2013, the highest level ever recorded, after two years of declining volumes. However, aid is shifting away from the poorest countries. 80 per cent of imports from developing countries entered developed countries duty-free and tariffs remained at an all-time low. The debt burden of developing countries remained stable at about 3 per cent of export revenue.
Substantial progress has been made in most areas, but much more effort is needed to reach the set targets.
Major trends that threaten environmental sustainability continue, but examples of successful global action exist.
Hunger continues to decline, but immediate additional efforts are needed to reach the MDG target.
Chronic undernutrition among young children declined, but one in four children is still affected.
Child mortality has been almost halved, but more progress is needed.
Much more needs to be done to reduce maternal mortality.
Antiretroviral therapy is saving lives and must be expanded further.
Over a quarter of the world’s population has gained access to improved sanitation since 1990, yet a billion people still resorted to open defecation.
90 per cent of children in developing regions are attending primary school.
The MDGs brought together governments, the international community, civil society and the private sector to achieve concrete goals for development and poverty eradication. Much has been accomplished through the concerted and focused efforts of all, saving and improving the lives of many people, but the agenda remains unfinished. The analysis presented in this report points to the importance of intensifying efforts to meet all MDG targets.
The post-2015 development agenda is slated to carry on the work of the MDGs and integrate the social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. Continued progress towards the MDGs in the remaining year is essential to provide a solid foundation for the post-2015 development agenda.”

Promote diversity to attract fresh talent to shipping
(Posted on 04/10/21)
Promoting diversity in shipping will help make the industry more appealing to young adults and adolescents, according to a digital maritime training expert.
Companies looking to attract a new generation of seafarers and onshore workers should market the sector as a progressive, exciting field that is open to people from all cultures and backgrounds, Nigel Cleave, Senior Advisor at OneLearn Global, believes.
“The wheels of global trade will grind to a halt if we can’t bring in new recruits over the coming years to man our ships or to work in shore-based operations,” said Mr Cleave, whose company provides eLearning training courses to the global maritime industry.
“Shipping accounts for 90% of all goods transported around the world, so we have to develop a talent pipeline to maintain supply chains and global trade.”
One way to attract new talent is to create digital training courses and promotional content featuring people from a variety of backgrounds, Mr Cleave said. He believes videos and animations that highlight the diverse nationalities, ethnicities and cultures within the industry will appeal to younger people considering their career options.
“When it comes to choosing a career, people are generally more likely to opt for a sector where they feel represented,” Mr Cleave said.
Mr Cleave’s comments come on World Maritime Day, which OneLearn Global, part of the Fameline Holding Group, will mark by lighting up its headquarters in Cyprus to pay tribute to seafarers around the world.
This year's World Maritime Day theme ‘Seafarers: at the core of shipping’s future’ highlights the valuable role that crew members play amid fears of a looming skills gap.
A recent report by BIMCO and the International Chamber of Shipping warns of a serious shortage of officers by 2026 unless shipping companies significantly increase training and recruitment.
An additional 89,510 officers will be needed within the next five years to operate the world merchant fleet, the report predicts – making it vital that shipping companies recruit and train fresh talent, while reskilling the existing workforce.
OneLearn Global is helping on the training front, by providing visually striking, bite-sized courses that can be completed anytime and from anywhere.
“Our extensive, ever-growing catalogue of eLearning programmes offers a range of vibrant courses that cover the entire spectrum of subjects needed for operating a vessel safely and securely,” Mr Cleave said. “Our innovative approach to maritime training is extremely popular with Generation Z (people born after 1996), who all expect digital, interactive and personalised content in today’s tech-driven world.”
Senior officers and crew with several years’ experience in the maritime sector have also shown a great appetite for OneLearn’s informative and entertaining course modules, which typically take 15–20 minutes to complete.

One-of-a-kind Festival Club
COUNTDOWN TO CELTIC COLOURS
From my very first Celtic Colours experience as a volunteer driver in 1997, I knew I had found a special place, a place where I could feel comfortable and at home, surrounded by people with the same interests as me.
It felt like the place where I belonged. It felt like the place I was meant to be — that place was the Festival Club.
The first Festival Club, at the Holiday Inn on Kings Road in Sydney, was a revelation for me. It started on my first day as a volunteer driver.
The day had started early. My assignment was to pick up artists arriving at the airport from Scotland and bring them to the hotel to get checked in, before picking up a group of performers from Ireland at the hotel and taking them to their afternoon soundcheck for their concert that evening. The concert was about an hour’s drive away and I would hang out at the concert and then drive them back to the hotel.
By the end of the day it was getting pretty late. It had been a long day, but I stopped in at festival headquarters in the hotel’s basement to check in and see what was going on.
I really wasn’t expecting what I found there.
The ballroom was opened up with a stage at one end and a bar, offering a mild assortment of sponsor-flavoured refreshments, at the other.
When the crowd wasn’t singing along with John Allan Cameron, Wally MacAulay and Festival Club host Buddy MacDonald, or absorbed in the Gaelic songs of Cathy Ann MacPhee, Ishbel MacAskill and Mairi Smith, they were marvelling at the incomparable Fred Morrison on the pipes or showing their steps while Lisa MacIsaac or Jennifer Roland or Doug MacPhee kept the tunes going.
This was the Festival Club, a kind of after-hours wonderland where the music never stopped and you never knew what might happen next. The dance floor was full most of the time, with steps and square sets and whatever other kind of dance the music moved you to. And as the night went on, the musicians who landed on stage together would play musical chairs as they found their way around some tunes they all knew.
There was a real sense of sharing in this initial after-hours meeting of the musical minds gathered for this first-time festival.
You could feel it in the music when the Bumblebees from Ireland stumbled into a tune with Cape Breton players Gordie Sampson and Fred Lavery. And you could feel it in the room when Sampson and Lavery and a few Bumblebees got into some tunes with Irish banjo-player Éamonn Coyne and Frankie Lane on dobro/slide guitar, and players kept joining in until there was no more room on the stage
There was an energy in that room that continued night after night and tune after tune, that has carried on ever since.
These days, the Festival Club occupies the cozy confines of the stone-walled Hall of the Clans at Colaisde na Gàidhlig/the Gaelic College in St. Anns and after more than 20 years, the late-night stage is still the musical heart and soul of Celtic Colours.
There are so many unforgettable musical moments wrapped up in the history of the Festival Club, like the night a group of local players got together on stage to fill some time and evolved into one of Cape Breton’s most enduring trad bands — Beòlach. Twenty years and three albums later they are one of this year’s artists-in-residence.
Then there was Phil Cunningham’s inimitable rendition of the classic “Danny Boy” that had an overflowing Hall of the Clans in stitches before launching in to a set with Irish band Danù who had drifted off course on their way from New Brunswick to mainland Nova Scotia and landed at the Festival Club for a night.
Or the grand finale a few short years ago that saw more than 20 fiddlers, pipers, guitar and bouzouki players on stage with two sharing the piano and a steady stream of step-dancers that went on for the better part of an hour.
And while the faces may change from year to year, with old favourites returning and new favourites emerging, one thing remains constant — North Shore singer-songwriter Buddy MacDonald who has hosted the popular late-night session since it started in 1997.
This year will mark Buddy’s 200th consecutive night hosting the club, an accomplishment as impressive as any of the music that pours out of the hall every night of the festival.
Brought to you this year in partnership with Big Spruce Brewing, the Celtic Colours Festival Club opens at 11 p.m. nightly with the music continuing onstage until 3 a.m. closing time.
Colaisde na Gàidhlig/the Gaelic College cafeteria opens for breakfast at 2 a.m. so you can keep up the breakfast-before-bed Festival Club tradition, and there’s a free shuttle bus running hourly from partner hotels in Baddeck starting at 10:20 p.m. The shuttle, sponsored in part by Victoria County and Cabbioke by NSLC, leaves Colaisde na Gàidhlig/the Gaelic College hourly from midnight until 2 a.m., and then every 45 minutes, with the last run at 4:15 a.m.
Admission to the Festival Club is $20 at the door ($10 with a ticket stub from a Celtic Colours concert from that evening), and for 19 years and older (photo id required).
The 23rd Celtic Colours International Festival began Friday night and continues until Oct.19, featuring 52 concerts and more than 300 cultural events in 79 communities all over Cape Breton Island.
For tickets or more information visit celtic-colours.com, call 902-567-3000 (local), 1-888-355-7744 (toll free), or drop in at the Celtic Colours Box Office on Nepean Street in Sydney.
Local writer and musician Dave Mahalik has worked as Celtic Colours International Festival’s Information / Communications Officer for 20 years, after volunteering as a driver for the first two years of the Festival. His book about Celtic Colours, 10 Nights Without Sleep, is available from Breton Books, and his column appears regularly leading up to Celtic Colours in October. He can be reached at email@example.com.

Sorry to be vague, but saying coming to hunt ACE is like saying thinking about hunting the coast of Louisiana or North Alabama.
If you get on a private plantation duck hunt it could be worth the drive.
If you are coming to hunt public areas and numbers of ducks are your goal you would be better off at Guntersville or 5 hours to Arkansas.
ACE is beautiful, but it is not Arkansas and most of the ducks are on private plantation or state/federal controlled impoundments which few of us non doctor/lawyer/indian chief types ever get to hunt.
Good luck and if you come, welcome.

Don’t forget to take your shoes off Orlando! Bloom sees the sights of Istanbul but makes slight faux pas as he fails to remove footwear in mosque
He was mobbed by numerous fans dressed in costume when he landed in Istanbul to film a commercial on Tuesday.
And before getting down to the hard graft Orlando Bloom decided to make the most of what the vibrant Turkish city has to offer and see some of the sights.
But his touristy day didn’t quite go off without a hitch as he found himself getting a little telling off for reportedly forgetting to remove his shoes when he entered the Sultanahmet Mosque.
Shoes off please: Orlando Bloom was asked to remove his footwear as he visited the Sultanahmet Mosque in Istanbul on Thursday
However the dashing Lord Of The Rings actor quickly rectified his faux pas and removed his shoes so he could continue viewing the stunning place of worship, which is also referred to as the Blue Mosque.
Joined by his entourage and a tour guide, as well a number of eager reporters trying to get a word in with the actor, Orlando made a stop at a number of well-known landmarks.
As well as the impressive mosque, he visited the Hagia Sophia Museum and the Yerebatan Cistern, which is the largest of several hundred ancient cisterns that lie beneath the city of Istanbul.
Sightseeing: Orlando was spotted making the most of his time in Istanbul visiting the various sights
Dressed in a pair of black jeans, grey T-shirt and light grey coat Orlando, who is married to Miranda Kerr, could almost have passed as any other tourist, however there was no disguising his curly brown hair and famous boyish good looks.
The father-of-one looked completely enthralled as he chatted away to the guide, and managed to concentrate despite the excited people around him.
It seems the 36-year-old has quite the fan base in Turkey, as upon arrival he found himself mobbed by costumed teenage girls.
Respect: Once Orlando was told to remove his footwear, he and his entourage were more than happy to oblige
Listen up: Orlando really payed attention to his guide as they walked around the grounds
Several young ladies wore long wigs, capes, cloaks, and corsets in an attempt to appear as nubile extras from Middle Earth or pirate wenches in reference to Pirates Of The Caribbean.
Ever the gentleman the British actor took the time to greet his eager fans and pose for pictures with them.
Orlando is in town to shoot an advertising campaign with an ice-cream company, which is believed to be Magnum.
Beautiful: The actor seemed taken aback by the beauty of the mosque as he explored with his guide
According to the Hurriyet Daily News Bloom said: 'I am very happy about the collaboration. I am in Turkey for the first time and very excited.
'I have always wanted to come to Istanbul as I have heard many good things about this place. I want to visit Sultanahmet and the historic peninsula.'
Orlando will next be seen in the South African crime-thriller Zulu with Forest Whitaker.
Over here Mr Bloom! Reporters followed Orlando about to find out about his stay in the city
He'll soon reunite with his Elizabethtown co-star Kirsten Dunst for the thriller Cities, which brings together three different stories from London, Mumbai, and New York as the Dow Jones nears an all time high.
The Canterbury born star will also reprise his two most famous roles in next year's The Hobbit: There and Back Again and Pirates of the Caribbean 5, due out 2015.
Welcome! Orlando was greeted by a lot of fans as he arrived to film an ice-cream advert
