The MiG-3-15 is a rank I Soviet fighter with a battle rating of 1.7 (AB/SB) and 2.3 (RB). It was introduced in Update 1.31.
In early War Thunder aerial matches, it is not uncommon for bomber aircraft to climb higher up into higher altitudes. Doing so they can circle their targets and bomb in relative comfort. This is because a majority of early fighters struggle to reach these heights. One of the first aircraft in the game to break this tradition is the MiG-3-15 designed by and built at the Mikoyan-Gurevich manufacturing plant. The design of the MiG-3 specifically allocated it to be a high altitude interceptor, one that could out-pace a Bf 109 of the time at an altitude of 6,096 m (20,000 ft) by over 20 km/h (just under 20 mph). However, when flying at sea-level, the Mikulin AM-35A struggled to maintain pace with the 109 at 505 km/h (314 mph).
At lower altitudes, especially in arcade battles, using WEP to gain altitude goes a long way. With only a couple of cycles of WEP, the MiG-3 pilot will find themselves comfortably sitting at 3,660 m (12,000 ft) where the Mikulin engine is in its element. It is here that the MiG-3-15 can continue to climb or can watch for unwary prey below which it can pounce on with Boom & Zoom tactics. Dogfighting in the MiG-3 can be difficult but is not impossible; the primary keys are to maintain energy and have plenty of altitude to work with. The MiG-3 is nowhere as agile as the Bf 109 or many other fighters and can seem quite stiff in the controls. Utilising engine control (speed), combat flaps and the aircraft's strong rudder, the MiG-3 can get out of some sticky situations or even position themselves on the tail of an enemy aircraft.
Centrally located machine guns do not require configuring a convergence point and make it easier to target aircraft both right in front or those 600+ m away. Unfortunately, the MiG-3-15 only has a single 12.7 mm machine gun and two 7.62 machine guns to pummel their enemies. The guns while reliable tend not to jam, however, the low calibre of the ammunition requires decisive shots on the enemy pilot, engine or fuel tanks to be effective at all. Aircraft fuselage, especially those of bombers, can take a severe beating with these machine guns and show virtually no damage at all. On the other hand, engines, flesh and ignitable fuel area less forgiving against the machine gunfire. Due to the weaker nature of the machine gun ammunition, Stealth ammunition may provide the necessary amount of time to dial in on the enemy aircraft's weak points. This critical amount of time allows more shots before the enemy pilot can determine where the shots are coming from and then evade.
Knowing the aircraft's weaknesses will help the pilot discover its strengths. While it is not as agile as its counterparts and contemporaries, it can be a battering ram in its own right. Underestimating a MiG-3 can lead another pilot to scratch their head in wonder as they try to figure out how they were shot down. It can also cause bomber pilots to immediately dive away when they realise a MiG-3-15 is bearing down on them.
As mentioned above, the MiG-3-15 is not the acrobat type aircraft like the I-16 or the Bf 109, however when flown to its capabilities, it is an excellent aircraft. The MiG-3 is a relatively fast aircraft and becomes increasingly faster as it gains altitude. Known as a high-altitude fighter, the MiG-3 excels from about 3,660 - 9,150 m (12,000 - 30,000 ft). Flying altitudes lower than 3,660 m (12,000 ft) will see a significant drop in speed and manoeuvrability.
Higher altitudes give the MiG-3 and opportunity to cache in on its speed during a dive when performing Boom & Zoom tactics. This method potentially allows for multiple passes on an aircraft (especially more massive bombers) if needed without sacrificing speed as done in a turn-based dogfight. When flown properly, the MiG-3-15 is relatively energy-efficient and can return to its altitude perch with relative ease. The MiG-3 if needed, can perform short climbing spirals allowing for slower or less energy-advantaged aircraft following to stall-out and here the MiG-3 pilot and kick over the rudder and pounce on the floundering aircraft. Solid rudder kicks can also help a MiG-3-15 make a sharp rolling manoeuvre, however, caution must be taken not to lose too much speed.
Sometimes a MiG-3 pilot will find themselves at a lower altitude where their aircraft's engine is at a disadvantage. If there are enemies nearby, your best bet is to get away from them and work on gaining altitude. Sometimes this is not an option, and you must fight where you are at; just know that the aircraft will not be as responsive as it is at higher altitudes.

Modifications and economy
The MiG-3-15 is armed with:
- 1 x 12.7 mm Berezin UB machine gun, nose-mounted (300 rpg)
- 2 x 7.62 mm ShKAS machine guns, nose-mounted (750 rpg = 1,500 total)
Usage in battles
The MiG-3 has a few issues that can hinder its success on the battlefront. Its power plant, although powerful for its time, performs best above 4,000 m (approx. 12,000 ft) altitude, and as a result of the early MiG's speed and climb rate at lower altitudes may be disappointing at first, particularly when stock. Its armament, one 12.7 mm Berezin UB machine gun and two 7.62 mm ShKAS machine guns, is generally inferior to its Allied and German opposition (its contemporaries on the Eastern Front, the Emil and Friedrich 109s, have 20 mm cannon armament on hand). Manoeuvrability can be a problem, especially at lower altitudes, as the plane bleeds speed in turns and can lock up at high speeds during dives. Despite these flaws, the MiG-3 in all its variants can be seen as a good stepping stone towards learning how to utilize the tricky-to-fly I-185s, especially in practicing Boom & Zoom attacks as well as energy fighting.
Specific enemies worth noting
- Bf 109 E-1 - The Bf 109 shares your battle rating in arcade battles and are frequently encountered. They have a higher top speed, perform well at high altitude (above 4,000 m like the MiG-3) and have fantastic energy retention. You do have some firepower advantage; however, a battle with a Bf 109 E-1 often becomes a battle of energy retention; the pilot with higher energy usually wins. Try to get a height advantage when going against one and take it by surprise.
- Spitfire Mk Ia/Spitfire Mk IIa - The Spitfire is one of the most manoeuvrable monoplane fighters in the game. It also has excellent anti-fighter capabilities with its 8 x 7.7 mm machine guns. Avoid engaging a Spitfire in a turn fight as you will bleed off your speed and are easily out-turned. The Spitfire is also quite fast and accelerates well, so don't be surprised if after a failed Boom & Zoom attempt you have a Spitfire gaining on your tail. Luckily for the MiG-3, the Spitfire performs poorly at high altitude. Luring one to upwards of 3,000 m (10,000 ft), you can then sap it of its energy and gain an advantage over it. The Spitfire is a poor diver too, so if one attempts to flee, you can quickly out dive it. Diving also makes for an effective defensive option against the Spitfire.
- A6M2-N - Like the Spitfire, except slower, more manoeuvrable and with a great big float to shoot at. Same rules apply. Don't turn fight, just Boom & Zoom. The incendiary ammo from your 12.7 mm will set these on fire easily.
- P-36 (all variants) - The P-36 is very well armed (4 x 7.62 mm Browning machine guns and 2 x 12.7 mm M2 Browning machine guns). This armament means that it has an edge in firepower over the MiG-3. It also has an advantage in manoeuvrability, whilst also being quite fast, and this makes it a challenging opponent. Your performance is superior to the P-36 over 4,000 m (12,000 ft), so try to lure it up to higher altitudes. You also have a much better climb rate than the P-36, so get an altitude advantage and then dive. Boom & Zoom works best here.

Pros and cons
- Gets air spawn in Realistic battles
- Upgraded aircraft climbs well - one of the few Soviet prop-fighters that can effectively use WEP
- Excellent for high-altitude fighting (bomber hunting or Boom & Zoom)
- Efficient glider - in the event of an oil or water leak shutting down the engine, with sufficient altitude, the MiG-3 can glide back to base
- Nose-mounted armament makes for very accurate shooting without dealing with convergence issues
- 12.7 mm and 2 x 7.62 mm ShKAS is more than adequate to deal with aircraft the MiG-3 faces, though aiming for critical components conserves ammunition
- Good climb rate
- Stiff controls at low altitude or during high speeds
- Sluggish turn time compared to other fighters (some heavy fighters can outturn it)
- Performance significantly drops when below 4,000 m (12,000 ft)
- Overheats easily with WEP
- Sensitive brakes when on the ground, can cause plane to tip forward
- Pilot is easily knocked out due to the lack of armoured glass
Though riddled with shortcomings, the I-200/MiG-1 fighter/interceptor aircraft proved to be both a popular and capable aircraft with pilots that had experience flying them. To address the oft-cited shortcomings, aircraft designers Mikoyan and Gurevich set out to rectify these issues, not only to make the aircraft more pilot-friendly but to make it a more effective fighter/interceptor.
By utilizing a full-sized model of the aircraft in a wind tunnel, designers quickly set about documenting necessary changes in the aircraft's configuration. The increase of the outer wing dihedral improved the wing's overall stability and lengthening the fuselage by just four inches improved the horizontal stability of the aircraft. By happenstance, the minute change in length created enough space for an additional 66 gallon (250 litres) fuel tank installation behind the pilot seat. Inert exhaust gases were routed to the fuel tanks to help improve the survivability of the aircraft and pilot by reducing the likelihood of fuel fires if enemy gunfire punctured the fuel tanks. Other improvements included strengthening the landing gear, larger main wheels, extending the canopy glazing aft for better visibility, improved gunsight, updated configuration of the instrument panel and an overall increase to 750 rounds of ammunition per machine gun.
After making the recommended updates and changes, the heavily modified I-200/MiG-1 (fourth revision) made its maiden flight on 29 October 1940. The Soviet state accepted this version of the aircraft during December 1940 State acceptance trials and due to the significant changes made to the plane was renamed to MiG-3. Though the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau rectified many of the MiG-1's deficiencies, unfortunately, the resulting aircraft ended up being 550 lbs (250 kg) heavier and reduced service ceiling by 1,500 ft (457 m). They also took approximately a minute longer to reach 16,000 ft (4,900 m) than the original MiG-1s. Two other positive outcomes for the MiG-3 was an overall increase in the aircraft's speed at altitude and sea-level along with an increase in its service range.
Many of the initial MiG-3 airframes pushed out to the VVS regiments which were considered poor quality and unusable. After an inquiry completed, a panel found that the Soviet Air Force Research Institute was negligent in their duty to monitor the quality of the aircraft coming off the assembly line. After several demotions of senior managers and the execution of the institute head, new management set to address the problems with the MiG-3.
Though designed as a high-altitude bomber-interceptor, the MiG-3's pilot's oxygen supply was woefully inadequate, both fuel and oil pumps failed to keep necessary pressure at altitude and pilot inexperience with high altitude flying all played against the aircraft's abilities. Once again, the MiG Design Bureau set out to fix these deficiencies and when complete, the MiG-3 design teams optimized it for high altitude operations above 20,000 ft (6,000 m). Here the MiG-3 boasted almost a 20 mph (26 km/h) speed advantage over the German Bf 109 E, though at sea-level, this advantage disappeared and the MiG-3 had roughly the same top speed as the Bf 109.
The weapons of the MiG-3 always seemed lacking compared to other aircraft such as the Bf 109 which typically sported a 20 mm cannon along with machine guns. MiG-3s of all iterations only had machine guns in the 12.7 mm and 7.62 mm varieties. Though experiments with wing-mounted gun pods and rockets took place, reduction of airspeed due to them often resulted in the pilots having them removed, one of the few times where fighter pilots preferred streamlined aircraft over firepower. Ultimately the new gun sight was not fit for the task, so pilots often relied on getting as close to the enemy aircraft as possible before opening fire, sometimes within point-blank range to ensure a hit.
Leading up to the German invasion titled Operation Barbarossa, MiG-3s found homes at front-line regiments. Here, they could ideally intercept any hostile bomber or reconnaissance aircraft that flew over such as the German Ju-86P. Unfortunately, at the beginning of the German invasion, the MiG-3, though one of the best fighters available to Soviet pilots, proved to be unsuited for the task at hand. Instead of intercepting bombers and reconnaissance aircraft, they instead fought more agile Bf 109s and such in a fashion which negated all of the MiG-3's advantages, and it struggled. With the Bf 109 being more agile and had better weapons, the MiG-3 fought for a foothold but often lost. It was around this time that other Soviet fighters such as the Yak and LaGG series aircraft were debuting and showing their effectiveness at lower altitude combat with more agility and better weapon options. Forcing the aircraft to work as a bomber and ground attack aircraft proved to be an even less effective venture. Production soon halted.
Some Soviet pilots did find success while flying the MiG-3. Aleksander Pokryshkin was one such pilot, as his initial foray into air combat was at the controls of a MiG-3. It was while flying the MiG-3 that Pokryshkin scored several victories against the German Bf 109. However, it was also during this time he realized that Soviet air combat doctrine was outdated, and he took detailed notes of his and other's accounts at air combat to determine a better way to fight. Pokryshkin's experience in the MiG-3 helped shape future Soviet air combat tactics for pilots flying more capable aircraft such as the Yak-1B, P-39K and Lavochkin fighters. Pokryshkin was quoted as saying, "The operational advantage of the MiG-3 seemed to be obscured by its certain defects. However, these advantages could undoubtedly be exploited by a pilot able to discover them."
A single-seat monoplane fighter with an all-metal construction, closed cockpit and retractable landing gear with a tail wheel.
The fighter was initially developed by N.N. Polikarpov, and later by A.I. Mikoyan and M.I. Gurevich at OKB-155.
The experimental I-200 fighter took its maiden flight on 5 April 1940. The plane went into series production in June 1940 at aircraft plant No. 1 in Moscow under the designation MiG-1.
The MiG-3 model joined the series in February 1941, with a modified wing, larger landing gear, an additional fuselage fuel tank, a new radiator, modified flaps and self-sealing for the centerwing fuel tanks.
The MiG-3 series fighters were powered by the twin-row V12 Mikulin AM-35A engine with a maximum output of 1,350 hp. This was a geared-down engine with a single-stage supercharger and an air pressure regulator.
The armament on the first few MiG-3 series consisted of two 7.62 mm ShKAS machine guns with 750 rounds each and one synchronized large-calibre 12.7 mm Berezina BS machine gun with 300 rounds. All three machine guns were placed above the engine.
The design also allowed for the suspension of two containers under the wing, each housing an unsynchronized large-calibre 12.7 mm Berezina BK machine gun.
The plane's bombing equipment consisted of four locking DZ-40 bomb racks mounted under the wing, each able to carry up to 100 kg. The overall weight of its bomb load was no greater than 220 kg. The MiG-3 could carry the AO-8/-10/-25 and FAB-50/-100, cluster bombs and bottles of KS incendiary fluid.
The plane possessed the PBP-1A collimator sight, which allowed it to use all types of anti-air and anti-ground weapons.
Before the Great Patriotic War, the MiG-3 was the most prolific modern fighter in the Soviet Air Forces. From June 1941, it was widely used on the front in Soviet Air Forces units, naval aviation units and Air Defense Forces units.
In total, 3172 of these planes were made. The MiG-3's production ended in December 1941. Its use continued in Soviet Air Forces divisions until 1943, and in air defense fleets until the end of the war.

from office, and sent in their resignations,
Congress considered it judicious to inaugurate
the new president immediately.
In his inaugural address Houston insisted
upon hlarinony between the legislative and

the situation was peculiarly a delicate one;
recommended that the friendship of the Indians
be obtained by treaty and a strict maintenance

in the hour of victory, citing the fact that the
moral effect of such conduct had done more
toward the liberation of Texas than the defeat
of the army of veterans, and dwelt upon the
question of annexation to the United States,
-a consummation unanimously wished for
by the Texan people, who were cheered by
the hope that they would be welcomed into the
great family of freemen. General Lamar, as

According to the spirit of the above
speeches, President Houston appoi .ted as

On November 16 Congress empowered tlie
president to appoint a ,minister to the United
States, to negotiate with this government
for the recognition of the independence of
Texas and her annexation to this republic.
The president accordingly appointed Williami
H1. Wharton to that position.
A writer relates an interesting anecdote in
this connection. It seems that Wharton, by
being tendered this appointment, felt that
the president was endeavoring to send hin
into honorable exile, to get himi out of some

till some months afterward, when three commnissioners
were to be appointed to purchase
a navy. John A. Wharton, brother of William

the surprise of many, was not appointed.
Meeting the latter after his return from the

Savita Halappanavar's death inquiry report leaked Last Updated : 16 Feb 2013 07:03:18 PM IST File photo of Indian dentist Savita Halappanavar.
The report by Ireland's health ministry revealed that doctors caring for the 31-year-old dentist seriously failed to investigate, recognise and treat the infection which led to her death.
Savita died at Galway University Hospital last October 28 after she was admitted to the hospital on October 21 with severe backpain. She was 17-weeks pregnant and was found to be miscarrying.
An autopsy found she had died of Septicaemia.
Savita's death inquiry report leaked; Doctors failed to treat:
The leaked Health Service Executive (HSE) report published by The Independent newspaper "proves" her family's claim that her death was avoidable as she had asked for an abortion several times before she died.
Doctors had said their "hands were tied" due to Ireland's strict anti-abortion laws as they could still detect a foetal heartbeat.
According to the leaked document, extracts of which were reported by the Irish media, the infection which led to Savita's death was not diagnosed for three days and that staff
should have considered performing an abortion even before the patient asked for it.
Other failures included tests showing possible blood infection not being followed up by staff and general lack of clarity as her condition grew progressively worse.
Her husband, Praveen Halappanvar said he was in no "condition to make any statement. The family is shocked about the report being leaked".

The day we will beat blood cancer is now in sight and the researchers are determined to finish the job.”


Sports cable TV outlet Versus recently launched a new show called Fanarchy. The production is loosely based on the ESPN’s Around The Horn, but instead of sportswriters, the Versus version features webcam-tethered fans as the protagonists.
From the show’s website:
Each week the webcammers will stake out hard-core opinions (not necessarily expert, but always entertaining) and do battle. EVERY sports fan has an opinion, and on this show they’ll get an opportunity to share it. Instead of the tired old formula of sports-writers and generic TV talking heads spewing endless stats, calculating salary cap numbers and reading from steroids subpoenas, these sports fans are rabid, ready to do battle and unrelenting in their opinions. … (Nobody is above the fray, but some people do have fancier webcams).
It’s easy to mock Versus for something like this, but I give them credit for taking a chance and trying something different. The show isn’t my cup of tea, but I’m not in the show’s target demographic.
(For encore airing, may have to wait for funds to settle)
That is, I thought I wasn’t - until I saw the performance of some female fans on cam.
Three very attractive female fans were featured on a recent show. After telling us their favorite teams, they stripped to their skivvies and writhed around in bed. Damn cool development, especially considering their performance wasn’t predicated on a credit card number.
With Around The Horn seemingly on the wane, at least in my house, perhaps this is just the break Erin Andrews needs to break into daytime TV. C’mon Boddy, give it a shot! (But don’t give Woody Paige any ideas.)
SbB partner Yardbarker is also involved in Fanarchy. YB bloggers and athletes will be making future appearances on the show. Click here to keep abreast of their appearances on Yardbarker’s Fanarchy-dedicated blog.

Theater shows history of birthing progress
What was it like to have a baby in 1936? How about 1962? Having a baby is a significant event in a woman’s life, but stories of those events are rarely included in the historical record. This presentation includes interviews with women who had babies in those eras, and sheds some light on the history of birth in Duluth. This presentation will also share excerpts of “Mothers of a Silent Generation,” a theatrical presentation based on the oral history interviews with these women and discussion of merging history and theatre.
"Birthing Progress through a Historical and Theatrical Lens" with Gina Temple-Rhodes and Angie B. Frank takes place 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 23 in the Green Room of the Main Library, 520 W Superior St.
Gina Temple-Rhodes is an independent researcher and oral historian from Duluth, MN who is passionate about recording stories from elders. She began researching the history of birth in Duluth in 2011 by interviewing women who had given birth in the 1930s-1950s and was inspired to dig deeper into the historical record to find details about this seldom-recorded topic.
Angie B. Frank is the director of Heart Theatre in Duluth. Heart Theatre practices theatre in non-traditional places with underrepresented voices, as a means to address social justice issues. Participants and audiences experience theatre as a tool for transformation through the telling and hearing of each other’s stories. Angie is currently working on a play related to birth story oral histories in Duluth.

Pregnant ladies and their infants are at elevated threat of extreme outcomes from, together with loss of life and stillbirths, in line with new analysis printed Friday by the Facilities for Illness Management and Prevention.
A research analyzing information from the Mississippi State Division of Well being discovered that the speed of loss of life amongst pregnant ladies contaminated with COVID was greater than thrice greater than non-pregnant ladies of reproductive age. The COVID loss of life fee throughout being pregnant grew five-fold as soon as the Delta variant grew to become prevalent, in comparison with the sooner section of the pandemic.
Through the research interval, from March 2020 by way of October 6, 2021, 15 pregnant ladies within the state died after testing optimistic for coronavirus. The researchers stated none had been totally vaccinated.
Thehad been even greater for Black ladies throughout being pregnant. The research discovered Black pregnant ladies with COVID had been greater than thrice as prone to die in comparison with Hispanic and White counterparts.
The Delta variant additionally led to a placing improve within the threat of stillbirth amongst pregnant ladies with COVID-19. Earlier than the variant was extensively circulating, pregnant ladies with COVID-19 had a 47% improve within the threat of stillbirth in comparison with ladies who weren’t contaminated. After Delta started extensively circulating, the elevated threat jumped to 304%.
In one other research, which has but to be peer-reviewed, scientists discovered that pregnant ladies contaminated with COVID when the Delta variant was prevalent had been greater than thrice as prone to be admitted to the ICU in comparison with non-pregnant ladies of reproductive age.
The research’ findings are a sobering reminder of the elevated dangers that pregnant ladies face in the event that they contract the virus, and well being officers say it additional underscores theamongst them.
Solely 35.3% of pregnant individuals within the U.S. have been totally vaccinated previous to or throughout being pregnant, in line with CDC information — half the speed of the general grownup inhabitants. The speed is even decrease amongst those that are Hispanic/Latino or Black.
In an earlier assertion to CBS Information, Dr. Dana Meaney-Delman, lead of the maternal immunization staff for COVID-19 Response, stated the company wasin regards to the low vaccination fee amongst ladies of coloration, saying it “leaves far too many pregnant individuals vulnerable to extreme sickness, adversarial being pregnant and neonatal outcomes, and loss of life from COVID-19.”
Researchers assessing the information out of Mississippi famous that “partnerships to deal with vaccine entry, hesitancy, or different issues” might assist scale back the inequities.
Dr. Torri Metz, affiliate professor and vice chair of analysis of obstetrics and gynecology on the College of Utah, says these findings — notably the proof that COVID will increase the danger of stillbirth — might function a motivating issue for girls to get vaccinated.
“I feel that these information that say we’ve an elevated threat of stillbirth actually hammers dwelling that it isn’t simply the mom who’s vulnerable to COVID, it is also the fetus and pushing that messaging out could actually assist individuals determine to go forward and vaccinate,” she stated.
Further analysis on the impacts of COVID is underway, together with one research funded by NIH and led partly by Dr. Metz that may assess the influence of lengthy COVID signs on pregnant individuals and their infants. Enrollment for that trial is about to start in early December.

Lipofilling (or lipostructure) comprises the transfer of fat from one part of the body to another to reshape the face or body. This 100% natural approach is suitable for people who do not want to use implants or resorbable materials. So, if you are interested in getting lip or nose fillers in Dubai or wish to enhance other areas of your body, lipofilling is the way to go.
Lipofilling: The best option for those interested in getting dermal fillers Dubai
Lipofilling may be performed both on the face and on the body.
Lipofilling of the face primarily helps fill hollow wrinkles, restore volume and adjust the shape of the nose or chin. It is also used to improve the skin or to fix severe acne sequelae (crater-shaped scars). The face needs little fat for the treatment of wrinkles or lack of volume, and the surgeon always finds sufficient reserves even in very slim people.
For the body, the donor must have a larger stock and only individuals with excess fat are considered for liposuction.
Breast lipofilling provides a moderate increase in breast volume. Women who do not want to resort to silicone gel implants are becoming increasingly popular.
The lipofilling of the buttocks renders the buttocks firmer, higher and more defined. When the surgeon takes the fat out of the buttocks or the saddlebags, it is a full remodeling of the buttocks.
The intimate parts
- Broaden the circumference of the penis during a phalloplasty.
- Rejuvenate the vagina: the fat injected during vaginoplasty increases the trophicity of the vaginal mucosa as it begins to dry out after the age of 45.
- Increase the size of the vaginal lips when they are too thin with nymphoplasty or rejuvenate when wrinkled.
Other areas of the body
- Fix the asymmetry of the calves, or even reshape the whole leg by restructuring the ankles.
- Fix so-called "corrugated iron" anomalies after liposuction has left hollows and bumps visible on the skin. An individual with good skin elasticity will expect a good result, but if the skin is damaged, the improvement is moderate.
- Filling a pectus excavatum, abnormality of the rib cage where the sternum is recessed.
How the procedure works
Lipofilling is performed under local or general anaesthesia depending on the area, without hospitalization, and takes between one to two hours.
The collection of fat cells is performed in a donor area that can be any area of the abdomen, thighs, hips, knees, etc. The surgeon can only extract the amount required for lipofilling or take the opportunity to perform a full liposuction.
According to the practice methods of the clinicians, two methods are possible.
This is a fat autograft because the donor and recipient are the same individual. The fat injected is perfectly tolerated by the body, so there is no chance of rejection or allergy.
- The removed fat cells are centrifuged to eliminate their impurities until they are re-injected in the form of mash.
- The healthy fat cells are inserted directly into their initial liquid, consisting of a saline and interstitial fluid solution.
Regardless of the process used, with or without a centrifuge, all methods are working. It is necessary to retain as many live fat cells as possible during the transfer for a significant proportion of the graft to be successful.
The injection of fat into the recipient area is in the form of microbeads of fat tissue distributed in the area to be filled, so that the grafted cells are in contact with the capillaries, able to provide them with oxygen and the nutrients required for their survival.
During the session, the surgeon avoids the injection of more than 500 grams of fat to prevent the necrosis of the fatty tissue. In fact, a fat transplant that is too compact is no longer nourished by adjacent tissues, and the cells will die.
The results vary depending on the extent of lipofilling. There's an oedema and bruising for a week. After one or two days, you can resume regular activities. It is best to wait about a month to resume physical activity.
The result of lipo nose and lip fillers is instantly visible. For the final result, one to three sessions will be needed.
At each session, part of the graft of the fatty tissue will be retained and the other part will be gradually absorbed. It is therefore necessary, from the start, for the patient to be mentally prepared for a minor disappointment just after the operation. In general, the volume of fat decreased by 30 to 60 per cent, depending on the situation. This drop in volume should not be confused with a permanent final result.
The fat injected then responds in the same way as the fat contained elsewhere in the body. Its quantity increases if the person gains weight and decreases if he or she loses weight. However, whatever the weight differences are, the form of the lipostructure-treated area will be preserved in proportion.

A Book Whose Main Character Is Most Like You
Um. For this one I am going to go with the only character anyone has ever said I’m like and that is Cara from Terry Goodkind’s Sword Of Truth Saga.
I will admit that I’m not entirely sure what the similarities between us are meant to have been but the guy was insistent. Cara is clearly just the kick-ass, cool version of me. (Part of the reason I’m not arguing is because she’s one of my favourite characters ever.)
And yes, before you ask, I have read (and own) all 11 books. Yes, they are all breeze block sized. (Oh, and I have the mini prequel book too.) And yes, I have had a lot of ear-bashing for liking them so much. Personally I think they are a good example of epic fantasy. I was sad when the last one came out because I knew there would be no more.

The NIO (NYSE:NIO) share price had a fairly volatile journey last week. Despite it falling nearly 10% by Thursday, the US stock recovered almost all of this decline on Friday. But what’s causing this rollercoaster-like behaviour? And does this electric vehicle manufacturing company belong in my portfolio?
The fluctuating NIO share price
Recently, there has been a mixed bag of news surrounding NIO, which appears to be causing the volatility in its share price. Vehicle deliveries for the 2021 first quarter did increase by around 420% year-on-year. However, the management team has stated that the ongoing semiconductor shortage is impeding its ability to ramp up production volumes. As such, guidance for total deliveries in the second quarter indicate a figure between 21,000 and 22,000 vehicles.
This is approximately double what was achieved in Q2 of 2020. But on a quarterly basis, it’s a lacklustre growth rate of 5% to 10%. Given that NIO’s share price is being primarily driven by future production expectations, I’m not surprised to see the share price suffer on the news. But on Friday, the stock made a U-turn. So what happened?
The China Passenger Car Association published new data that revealed some troubling signs of vehicle sales for its largest competitor, Tesla. As a result, NIO became the best-selling electric vehicle brand for SUVs in China last month. Across its ES6, EC6, and ES8 models, the firm sold 7,102 vehicles, equating to roughly 23% of Chinese market share. Needless to say, this is an impressive achievement given the unfavourable operating environment. And so, seeing the NIO share price jump back up is not that surprising to me.
The demand for electric vehicles continues to surge as the world reduces its reliance on fossil fuels. In fact, according to a report from Deloitte, electric vehicles sales are estimated to reach 31.1m by 2030. Comparing that to the 3m electric vehicles sold last year, manufacturers like NIO have enormous growth potential. And with China accounting for more than 40% of the market, the firm looks like it’s in a powerful position based on its latest achievements.
However, as promising as NIO’s progress has been, I have some reservations about its share price. Since the start of 2021, the stock is down by around 37.5%. But over the last 12 months, it’s still up by 870%, placing its market capitalisation at $55bn.
By comparison, total revenue for 2020 was around $2.5bn, yielding a high price-to-sales ratio of 22. Analyst forecasts expect sales to increase to $8.6bn this year, making the valuation look more palatable. However, it also implies that the NIO share price is primarily driven by shareholder expectations rather than existing underlying performance. Combining that with the fact that NIO is unprofitable does add a considerable level of risk. At least, I think so.
Some final thoughts
The semiconductor shortage is ultimately a short-term problem. And as demand for electric vehicles continues to rise, I believe that NIO can become a leading manufacturer within Chinese markets. The valuation is by no means cheap. But the growth potential that lies ahead may be worth paying the premium. And so, I would consider adding this business to my portfolio.

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine this month published in the journal Gastroenterology the first major, in-depth analysis of genetic risk factors of inflammatory bowel disease in African-Americans.
The NIH-funded study is an intensive evaluation of the genetics of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the African-American population.
Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis affect as many as 1.6 million Americans. Patients with IBD have immune systems that attack their own intestines, resulting in inflammation. Recent years have seen a steady increase in reported cases of IBD in African-Americans.
“This study is the culmination of over a decade of work,” says Steven Brant, director of the Johns Hopkins Meyerhoff Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center and corresponding author of the study. “We hope it’s the first of many steps to better understand and treat these debilitating diseases.”
IBD genetics have been evaluated in more than 1,000 studies in white and Asian—primarily East Asian—populations. Although the risk is slightly lower than that of white Americans, African-Americans are at significant risk for IBD.
The study evaluated more than 1,500 African-American patients with IBD—including 1,088 with Crohn’s disease and 361 with ulcerative colitis—from 35 IBD centers across North America and used 1,797 African-Americans without IBD for comparison.
The primary goal of the study was to determine whether African-Americans share the same 163 separate genetic variations shown in white Americans as IBD genetic risk factors. A secondary goal was to identify novel regions of the genome, known as loci, causing IBD risk in African-Americans.
The researchers also examined if, within the majority of these IBD genetic loci, there are genetic variations that are of particular risk for causing IBD in African-Americans that are distinct from those identified in whites.
“We also studied whether there are regions of the genome that cause or protect IBD risk in African-Americans that arise from either their West African or European genetic ancestries,” Brant says.
The study revealed that in African-Americans, as in whites and Asians, the dominant region for ulcerative colitis genetic risk in is the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region, a region that is a major determinant of immune regulation and risks for other immune diseases, like celiac disease and type 1 diabetes. However, the specific variant associated with African-Americans in this region is the same as the variant most highly associated with Japanese and Korean ulcerative colitis, and to a lesser degree ulcerative colitis in Europeans. It also is the same major risk variant in HLA for lupus in African-Americans, whose lupus risk is four times greater than white Americans.
The study did not find evidence for the major risk variant for European ulcerative colitis as having a role in the African-American population.
Identifying specific regions of the African-American genome that arise separately from the ancestral West African versus the ancestral European genome that are responsible for a portion of the genetic risk of IBD in the African-American population, the researchers found evidence for regions on four of the 22 autosomal (nonsex-linked) chromosomes as causative for IBD. For each of these regions, the IBD risk appears to come from the Caucasian ancestral genome that makes up 20 percent of the African-American genome overall.
In addition to Brant, the study was co-led by researchers at Emory University and Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles.

Wendy Williams reportedly restricted to a wheelchair and battling early stages of dementia at 57
Popular talk show host, Wendy Williams’ health is reportedly getting worse.
Wendy Williams who had to cancel engagements multiple times this year due to ill health, is restricted to using a wheelchair now as her capability to walk has become diminished, according to The Ricky Smiley Morning Show’s Toine The Don, also known as Antoine Edwards.
Toine gave the shocking update on Wendy’s health on Nov. 22, saying, “It is being reported that the 57-year-old talk show host has completely lost all blood circulation in her legs and in her feet.”
Wendy is also allegedly suffering from early stages of dementia, according to the Toine.
“The entertainment group Lionsgate reportedly has Wendy stored away under lock and key to prevent another booze and vodka-filled depression,” Toine said in an Instagram post.
As of now, Wendy still isn’t scheduled to return to The Wendy Williams Show anytime soon.
- Dementia is a syndrome in which there is deterioration in cognitive function beyond what might be expected from the usual consequences of biological ageing.
- Although dementia mainly affects older people, it is not an inevitable consequence of ageing.
- Currently more than 55 million people live with dementia worldwide, and there are nearly 10 million new cases every year.
- Dementia results from a variety of diseases and injuries that primarily or secondarily affect the brain. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia and may contribute to 60-70% of cases.
- Dementia is currently the seventh leading cause of death among all diseases and one of the major causes of disability and dependency among older people globally.
- Dementia has physical, psychological, social and economic impacts, not only for people living with dementia, but also for their carers, families and society at large.
Treatment and care
There is currently no treatment available to cure dementia. Anti-dementia medicines and disease-modifying therapies developed to date have limited efficacy and are primarily labeled for Alzheimer’s disease, though numerous new treatments are being investigated in various stages of clinical trials.
Additionally, much can be offered to support and improve the lives of people with dementia and their carers and families. The principal goals for dementia care are:
- early diagnosis in order to promote early and optimal management
- optimizing physical health, cognition, activity and well-being
- identifying and treating accompanying physical illness
- understanding and managing behaviour changes
- providing information and long-term support to carers.


The sustainable management of the Gascoyne River alluvial aquifer is essential to maintain horticultural production from Carnarvon, Western Australian. Carnarvon is a major horticultural area with a mild climate and a supply of fresh water within the alluvial aquifer. The average Carnarvon rainfall is about 200 mm/yr with horticulture reliant upon irrigated water obtained from the Gascoyne River alluvial aquifer. The Gascoyne River is an ephemeral river that is predominately dry with an extensive fresh water alluvial aquifer recharged during sporadic and infrequent river flow events. Irrigation demand from the alluvial aquifer is about 12 GL/year with requirement for high quality water of less than 455 mg/L of total dissolved solids [TDS]. It is estimated that the banana crop suffers a 30 % decline in production as groundwater salinity increases from 455 to 770 mg/L TDS. Government intervention to limit abstraction and reduce groundwater salinisation occurred in the 1960’s as a consequence of significant degradation in groundwater quality. Current groundwater management is based upon the measurement of groundwater salinity and level that is used to estimate aquifer storage and restrict the production of groundwater with salinity greater than 1000 mg/L TDS. This process utilises a range of tools that include a groundwater storage volume calculator, groundwater salinity contouring and groundwater models. The sustainable management of the alluvial aquifer has become more complex with changes in river flow cycles that have coincided with increased climate variability since the mid – 1970’s. The groundwater model has been revised on a regular basis to provide groundwater storage and quality predictions. Groundwater management issues are an increasing priority due to expansion of the horticultural area with increasing demand, changes in crops and land tenure and increasing climatic variability combined with State provisions to recoup unused groundwater licences and implementation of groundwater entitlement trading.

Berlin based Torsten Kanzler presents his new album "Analog System". The name already gives a hint about the story behind the album. In February 2014, he started to work on a new album. After being halfway through, Torsten was not 100%% satisfied with the results. He wanted to change the workflow and sound. Therefore, he decided to build a serious collection of synthesizers, drum boxes, sequencers and started from the beginning. The results are fascinating. It`s kind of fresh and new stuff but with an old school touch.

I love finding new-to-me authors. Kathleen Nance has written two other books and two novellas, and I may have to go find them if they’re all as charming as this novel.
Centuries ago, the gods of Olympus ruled the earth. Zeus, the ruler, dallied with many women, among them Io. Long story short, he turned her into a cow to hide her from his wife, Hera, who found out anyway and took the cow. Zeus eventually restored her to human form, promising never to pay attention to her again, but her descendants have been unlucky in love ever since. Now he’s decided to help the relatives of the women he’s harmed.
Enter Joy Taylor, descendant of Io. Joy had loved Mark Hennessy in high school, and though he graduated a year before she did, he promised to return on her graduation night. He never showed up, and a heartbroken Joy moved on. Now he’s back, a world-famous magician (and a descendant of the god Hermes, the original smooth-talking trickster) on a secret mission.
Joy is the kind of heroine I like to read about. She’s not drop-dead gorgeous, she’s not a candidate for sainthood although she is a caretaker, and she doesn’t fight her feelings too much. She acknowledges what her feelings are and doesn’t obsess over them. She’s also not too feisty, staying put when Mark tells her to and taking only moderately risky chances instead of foolhardy ones.
Mark is handsome and talented and quite a smooth talker. He knows as soon as he sees Joy that he still wants her, and he goes after her. He’s got a few things to learn, though, such as how to listen and give Joy what she needs.
Kudos to Nance for avoiding the Huge Misunderstanding of harboring old grudges ad nauseam. Joy and Mark talk about the past and he explains what happened. The kudo turns into a quibble only because the explanation should have been the first thing he told Joy; instead, he shares the explanation somewhat later.
The chemistry between Joy and Mark worked for me. That was obvious when I found myself actually reading the love scenes instead of skimming them to get back to the story. The attraction was apparent when they first saw each other, and while Mark worked it as soon as he saw Joy, Joy didn’t fight it overly much.
I love the touch of mythology that Nance adds to this story. I’ve always enjoyed the Greek myths, and the twist to the gods’ background seems to fit. Zeus and Hera are great secondary characters, and their attempt at a reunion is amusing. Joy’s mother and sister and Mark’s assistants complete the cast of likable characters. Guy Centurion is the unlikable character, the villain we know from almost the beginning. I liked the scene where an ostrich helps Centurion get what he’s earned.
I think there may be another book with Zeus and Hera as matchmakers. They agree to work together at the end, and I hope that means a sequel. There’s almost nothing I didn’t like about this book. No purple prose, no babies and no angst. I wish that I had saved this novel for a slump. It’s the perfect pick-me-up. I only hope others enjoy it as much as I did.

The Office is getting a video game. Here's what we know so far.
This article is more than 2 years old
Over the years The Office has become one of the most-watched and most beloved TV shows of the past two decades. The quirky satirical mockumentary debuted on NBC in 2005 and ran for a total of nine seasons. A few years after its last episode aired it landed on Netflix where it found renewed vitality and an arguably even larger fanbase. Fan momentum for The Office has not slowed down since and now fans can look forward to reliving all of their favorite moments through a new mobile game based on the show that is expected to launch later this year.
The news first broke on indie game developer East Side Games’s (subsidiary of Leaf Mobile) Twitter page. The company’s post revealed their excitement in being able to announce The Office: Somehow We Manage and directed fans to the game’s official website where one can sign up to receive updates on the game’s development. Check out their latest tweet below.
East Side Games is still remaining pretty tight-lipped over any specific plot details surrounding what The Office: Somehow We Manage could entail or what exactly gameplay could look like. However, The Hollywood Reporter did point out that it will feature “iconic moments” from the show and that players would likely be in charge of running Dunder Mifflin and keeping profits in the black. Additionally, it is likely that the game is purely text-based, so it is unlikely that players will get to hear the voices of familiar cast members like Steve Carell (Michael Scott) and John Krasinski (Jim Halpert). However, an official confirmation regarding whether not any voice talent was needed for The Office game has yet to be disclosed.
While any information regarding plot specifics for The Office: Somehow We Manage are still very vague, Screen Rant pointed out that what is clear are the platforms (Apple’s App Store and Google Play) on which the game will be released and the business model that the game will adopt. Nowadays, specifically mobile games, tend to launch as free-to-play titles that offer options to buy In-app purchases that make it easier to progress through the game. The Office game will follow suit with this growing trend and be free to initially download and play. Wildly popular mobile games like Fortnite (Epic Games) and Pokemon Go (Niantic) and have garnered much success by going that route. It is likely the developers of The Office: Somehow We Manage thought that this type of format would give the game its best chance at success.
Given The Office’s abundant and perpetual popularity, it is likely that fan interest will draw them in to try out the new game, especially because its point of entry is free of charge. However, even though The Office: Somehow We Manage will adopt the popular free-to-play strategy, that strategy does not come without its own hurdles. For instance, even though Pokemon Go continues to break mobile gaming records, Niantic and The Pokemon Company have also received a lot of criticism from fans when changes are implemented. It still remains to be seen if The Office game will receive those same types of critiques as Pokemon Go, and while there is no official release date as of yet, fans can look forward to the game’s launch later in 2021.

In a bid to stop cow slaughter in the country, Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Praveen Togadia appealed to the masses to use products containing cow dung and urine.
Mr Togadia was speaking at a Virat Hindu Sammelan held at Bandra-Kurla Complex on Sunday, where he not only advertised products such as shampoo, soap and incense sticks, but also told the crowd to buy them.
Mr Togadia was marketing the products reportedly to stop cow slaughter and provide some revenue to farmers, who otherwise sell the animals to slaughter houses.
“If we use the products, the farmers will get `200 per litre of cow urine and the same amount for one kg of cow dung. Why would the farmers then give the cows up for slaughtering? We must save the cows,” he said.
VHP has come up with cosmetic products containing the dung and urine of cows rescued from being slaughtered.
A large crowd had gathered for the leaders of the Hindu group. A seemingly over-enthusiastic Maharaj even said, “Russia was a Hindu nation because Rishi-Raj (Rishi ruled) there.”
Another leader said, “We should not only bring back those converted from Hinduism back into the fold, but should also convert those in Pakistan.”
One of the speakers, advocate Poornima Advani, who was invited to talk on the work VHP was doing for the upliftment of women, however, expressed regret that she had to choose this topic. “It is worrisome that we have to discuss the honour of women,” she said.
Meanwhile, in the afternoon a brief period of tension was created at Sion when Bajrang Dal activists going to BKC to attend the programme came across a Muslim procession for Muharram.
The police stopped the Bajrang Dal activists and allowed the Muslim procession to pass first. Some of the Bajrang Dal activists riding on bikes tried to break the police chain to intrude into the procession, but were unsuccessful.
The police somehow managed to let both the processions pass without any untoward incident.

Bears win overtime thriller over Bell
Published 12:10 am Friday, December 13, 2019
LOG MOUNTAIN — With all four 52nd District teams ranked among the top 11 in the 13th Region, Harlan County Michael Jones expects several down-to-the-wire game this season against district opponents. That’s what he got In the Bears’ district opener Thursday.
Down six with three minutes left in regulation, the Black Bears battled back to force overtime and took over from there on the way to a 65-59 win over Bell County.
“I’m proud of the kids’ effort. To be able to gut that one out while not playing our best offensively and having two of our best on the bench due to fouls makes me extremely proud. It was a huge district win,” Jones said. “Every district game we play will be like that. To be able to play in this atmosphere this early in the season can’t do anything but help us.”
Bell, with the majority of its roster still playing football last Friday in the 4A state finals, gave a great effort but could not overcome a nine-of-21 performance at the free throw line. The Bobcats also missed nine of 10 shots in overtime after hitting five of six in the fourth quarter.
“I thought the kids played really hard. I was pleased with what we did. It was way better than Saturday (a season-opening loss to Barbourville). It will take us a few weeks to figure it all out,” Bell County coach Brad Sizemore said. “We’ve had 13 guys from football with two days of practice. Not making an excuse, but they played really hard. I thought we did a pretty good job. We just have to make free throws. You can’t beat a team like Harlan County doing that. Coach Jones always does a good job, and they have a really good team. You just don’t have a lot of room for mistakes in a game like this.”
All five HCHS starters reached double figures, led by Tyler Cole with 14 and Trent Noah and Jackson Huff with 13 each. Taylor Spurlock and Jacob Wilson added 10 each for the 3-1 Bears.
Bell County (0-2) was led by Cameron Burnett with 19 points and 10 rebounds. London Stephney and Dalton Stepp added 11 each. Dawson Woolum scored 10.
Stepp hit back-to-back 3-pointers to put Bell up 53-47 with three minutes left, but the Bears battled back as Spurlock scored on a putback and Cole and Noah each hit two free throws to tie game with 1:30 left. Woolum hit one of two at the line, then Burnett missed the front end of a bonus. Josh Turner scored on a putback with 25 seconds left to give HCHS a one-point lead. Stephney hit one of two at the line with nine seconds to play. Wilson had a chance to win in regulation but failed to connect.
Burnett gave Bell a brief lead in overtime as he hit one of two at the line, but then Cole banked in a shot to put HCHS up by one. After Huff and Woolum traded free throws, each hitting one of two, freshman Daniel Carmical hit the biggest shot of the night with a 3-pointer from the corner with 1:05 to play. Four straight free throws by Wilson, who took over at point guard with both Noah and Spurlock out due to fouls, put the game away. Turner was also big for the Bears with three of his team-high nine rebounds in overtime.
“Jacob has played point before, and I was comfortable with him out there,” Jones said. “Josh had a huge offensive rebound for us in overtime. Carmical hit a huge shot, and I told him not to hesitate. Jackson hit some big shots also, and I thought he also played well defensively and rebounded well, especially at the end.”
Burnett and Woolum each had two baskets in the opening quarter as the Bobcats took a 14-12 after one period. Noah led the Bears with two baskets while Huff and Wilson each hit 3-pointers for HCHS.
Baskets by Stephney and senior center Jon Wilson gave the Bobcats their biggest lead of the half at 23-18. A Spurlock 3 and Noah basket off a drive cut the deficit to two with 1:50 remaining. Stephney and Huff traded 3-pointers in the final 95 seconds of the half as the Bobcats took a 28-26 lead into the locker room.
Harlan County will play Pulaski County on Saturday at Jackson County High School. Bell County will play at Estill County on Friday.
Freshman guards Jonah Swanner and Jeremiah Clem scored 16 and 12 points, respectively, as Harlan County improved to 3-1 in junior varsity action with a 50-40 win.
Daniel Carmical added seven for the Bears, followed by James Gray with six, Tristan Cooper with five and Josh Sergent and Dylan Hicks with two each.
Sophomore guard Cole Hoskins led Bell County with 20 points. Chanse Belcher scored eight. Carter McCune added four. Dylan Honeycutt, Dawson Widener, Brandon Baker and Daniel Thomas chipped In with two each.

Judging by the millions of cat videos and photos posted online, we can say with a somewhat decent accuracy, that cat owners like to take photos of their furry friends.
Some humans like to take their photos to another level by adding memes or other details such as little hats or moustaches.
I can only imagine what the cat is thinking… “Funny human. I can see you are easily amused. I, however, am not. If you are suddenly awoken at 2 am, you’ll know why. P.S. Hide the black markers.”
