LONDON (REUTERS) - British authorities believe that two men accused of hacking a soldier to death on a London street in revenge for wars in Muslim countries are British of Nigerian descent, a source close to the investigation said Thursday.
Local media named one of the two suspects as British-born, 28-year-old Londoner Michael Adebolajo and said police raided homes of relatives in the city and near the town of Lincoln. both men involved in Wednesday's attack appeared to have converted to Islam from Christian backgrounds, media said.
Adebolajo and the other man, who may have been born abroad, are both in custody in hospitals after being shot by police.
As security experts highlighted the risk to Western cities of "lone wolf" attacks - similar to last month's Boston Marathon bombing - by local people radicalised over the Internet, Prime Minister David Cameron held an emergency meeting of his intelligence chiefs to assess the response to what he called a"terrorist" attack; it was the first deadly strike in mainland Britain
since local Islamists killed dozens in London in 2005.
"We will never give in to terror or terrorism in any of its forms," mR Cameron said outside his Downing Street office. "This was not just an attack on Britain and on the British way of life, it was also a betrayal of Islam and of the Muslim communities who give so much to our country. There is nothing in Islam that justifies this truly dreadful act."
He noted that security sources have said both suspects had been known to intelligence services and said there would in due course be a routine review of how intelligence had been handled.
One source close to the inquiry said the apparently local backgrounds of the suspects in a multicultural metropolis - nearly 40 per cent of all Londoners were born abroad - and the simplicity of the attack made such incidents hard to prevent.
"Apart from being horribly barbaric, this was relatively straightforward to carry out," the source said. "This was quite low-tech and that is frankly pretty challenging."
Mr Anjem Choudary, one of Britain's most recognised Islamist clerics, told Reuters THAT Adebolajo, was known to fellow Muslims as Mujahid - a name meaning "warrior": "He used to attend a few demonstrations and activities that we used to have in the past."
He added that he had not seen him for about two years: "When I knew him he was very pleasant man,"
Cleric Choudary said. "He was peaceful, unassuming and I don't think there's any reason to think he would do anything violent."
The two men used a car to run down the young soldier, whose name has not been released, near Woolwich Barracks in southeast London and attempted to behead him with a meat cleaver and knives, witnesses said, before telling shocked bystanders they acted in revenge for British wars in Muslim countries.
A dramatic clip filmed by an onlooker showed one of the men, identified by British media as Adebolajo, his hands covered in blood and speaking in a local accent apologising for taking his action in front of women but justifying it on religious grounds: "We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you. The only reason we have done this is because Muslims are dying every day," he said. "This British soldier is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
The attack revived fears of "lone wolves". These may have had no direct contact with Al Qaeda but are inspired by radical preachers and by Islamist militant Web sites, some of which urge people to attack Western targets with whatever means they have.
Images of the blood-soaked suspect - who urged Britons to overthrow their government or risk having their children face the fate of the dead soldier lying just yards away - were splashed across the front pages of newspapers; so too were links to his clearly spoken, matter-of-fact video statement, made as the pair chatted calmly to bystanders before police arrived.
British media quoted local people as saying Adebolajo grew up locally and attended a nearby university at Greenwich.
In Nigeria, with a mixed Christian-Muslim population and where the authorities are battling an Islamist insurgency, a government source said there was no evidence the Woolwich suspects were linked to groups in west Africa.

For some people, animals are just like children; they have to be taken care of, loved and nurtured, and can be seen as sons and daughters in their own right.
For that reason, losing a pet can be quite hard. People get used to having them around, hearing their nails hitting the floor as they walk and their cries. On April 15, 2018, Queen Elizabeth felt that pain.
Her corgi, Willow, passed away at the age of 14 at Windsor Castle. She had a cancer-related illness and was put to sleep because the Queen didn't want her to suffer any longer, as reported by the Daily Mail.
The passing of the corgi marked the end of an era considering that Willow was the last descendant of Susan, the dog that the monarch received as a gift when she was 18 years old.
Although Queen Elizabeth mourned several corgis throughout the years, Willow was her favorite pooch. Not only that, but the dog was the last link between her and her parents.
According to the source, the Queen still has two dorgis - a mix for a corgi with a dachsund. The dogs were named Vulcan and Candy, and they spend most of their time with her.
There is also Whisper, a corgi that Queen Elizabeth agreed to adopt after the death of his owner, who was a former Sandringham gamekeeper. Although Whisper is a corgi, he has no lineage in the Royal Family.
The publication revealed that the monarch has been breeding and raising Pembroke Welsh Corgis all her life, but she gave up on the idea in 2015 because she was afraid that having younger dogs around her feet would cause her to trip and hurt herself.
The 92-year-old spent Willow's last few days feeding and playing with her, but it was too painful to watch her suffer.
The dog has been buried in the grounds of Buckingham Palace and will have a headstone with her name on it, as well as the words: 'a faithful companion of the Queen.'

The Sky Blues are set to play at Northampton Town's Sixfields Stadium for the next two seasons, having agreed a deal to rent the League Two club's pitch for three years - beginning in 2013.
However, this decision saw numerous fan protests for the duration of last season, with match boycotts and stadium absences the preferred method of rebellion. So as to not display a lack of support for the playing team, fans would often watch their team in action from the hill above the stadium - only stopping at Sixfields to buy a match programme.
The Sky Blue Trust have been the instigators for these protests, stemming from a failed agreement between the owners of Coventry City and the operators of the Ricoh Arena - the former home of the Sky Blues.
And it is the Trust who have organised a mass protest for the 'home' League Cup tie against Cardiff City on Wednesday night. According to the Coventry Telegraph, fans both inside the ground and on the hill have been asked to hold up cards with the message "Let Down" during the 35th minute of the game - with 35 the distance in miles between Coventry and Northampton.
What makes this protest different from the others that have occurred is that Cardiff City fans are willing to join in, the the Welsh club having been on the receiving end of bad ownership decisions. Vincent Tan bought the Bluebirds in May 2010, and in 2012 promised to invest £100 million if he was allowed to rebrand the club from their historic blue to the more marketable red.
Despite achieving instant promotion to the Premier League, fans still expressed dismay at the loss of identity, and, following relegation back to the Championship, fans are set to protest against Tan's questionable ownership methods.
A record number of fans are expected on the hill for tonight's game, and, with live coverage broadcast on Sky Sports, fans are hoping for a public reaction to the dreadful situation they find themselves in. And if enough people respond in a positive manner, Coventry may just find themselves playing back at home in the not-too-distant future.

Measuring your pH and why it matters
It was halfway through the week and I legitimately thought it was Monday. It has just been one of those weeks with things being crazy busy at work and moving and not tapering my social life to accommodate.
Despite running a thousand miles an hour, I have had a chance to measure my pH this week, on top of taking greens + regularly which was one of my goals for September. Let’s back up a little bit though and talk about what pH is, why you should measure it and how to do it.
What exactly is pH?
Why should I measure it?
How do I measure it?
So did I discover about my pH this week? Well, firstly, I am terrible at following instructions. I got the paper wet before measuring my pH on the first day and it showed I was as alkaline as they come.
I was thrilled until I measured the next morning and it showed as acidic as possible at a 5.5. There has GOT to be something wrong.
Thursday morning, I registered as a 6.0 which is super acidic and does not surprise me one bit. Although I am a healthy girl, the amount of exercise I do, the amount of coffee I drink and the fact that I have been eating out more often this summer certainly are factors. This challenge is allowing me to reassess and refocus as I head into the fall race season.
What am I doing?
– With the move, I am able to cook and eat more fresh vegetables
– My commute time is cut in half so I have lowered my stress levels and increased sleep time
– I am taking Greens + every day which is very alkalinizing
I have a tried and true smoothie recipe that I drink every single day but with this challenge, I am going to branch out and try some new combinations and flavours and share a new one every week of September, but today, I wanted to share my most tried and true combination:
Laces and Lattes Smoothie
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients (1 smoothie)
- – 1 banana
- – ½ – ¾ cup of frozen strawberries
- – 1 cup spinach
- – 1 scoop Greens + powder (I favour the vanilla bone builder after my stress fractures)
- – 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder (I am currently using the Genuine Health fermented vanilla protein powder)
- – 1 cup of milk (I am currently using homemade hemp milk)
If I am out of a banana, I will sub in an avocado for healthy fats to make it super creamy. If I have had a workout that morning, I will use coconut water instead of milk and add a scoop of l-glutamine as well to aid in muscle recovery.
Throw it all in a blender until smooth. DRINK UP!
I am partnering with Goodness Me! for this 21 day pH challenge but all opinions are my own.
Have you ever measured your pH?
What is your favourite ingredient to put in smoothies?

Live on April 26
Psyonix has announced that Rocket League will be getting its “Hoops” mode on April 26, which will be updated in as free DLC for all platforms. For those of you that love to spend money, you can do so by buying a “flag pack” of each NBA team’s logo for $1.99. As part of the festivities, a new arena will arrive too called “Dunk House.”
Speaking of, who do you have for the NBA Finals? Like everyone I’m banking on Golden State from the west, and a Cleveland matchup would be pretty great (Atlanta is just as likely too). As of yesterday Steph Curry was getting an MRI on his ankle though so anything could change — but the latest update allegedly shows “nothing of concern,” which is good!
I sadly haven’t watched as much basketball as I’ve wanted to in recent years, but as of this year’s playoff run I’m looking to change that.

For thirty years, beginning in the 1940s, Perle Mesta reigned over Washington, DC society, hosting expensive parties which brought together a mix of people with the sole purpose of having fun, “Whether I give a party in New York or London or Hollywood or Washington, I like to have guests who are in the thick of things,” she said.
She was born Pearl Mesta (she changed it to the more exotic Perle later in life) in Michigan in 1889 and moved to Oklahoma City with her father William Skirvin, oilman and owner of the Skrivin Hotel which was also their family home. She left town in 1917 and married steel baron George Mesta who soon left her widowed with a substantial fortune which, when combined with her father’s inheritance, made her one of the wealthiest women in America.
Perle moved to Washington because she was active in women’s rights and empowerment and she quickly learned she could increase her influence by bringing important people together in a relaxed atmosphere. She became very close to Presidents Truman and Eisenhower and Truman even made her Ambassador to Luxembourg. Her place in history was assured when legendary composer Irving Berlin created a Broadway musical based on her life, Call Me Madame, in which she was declared “the hostess with the mostes’.”
This neighborhood was originally called University Addition beginning in 1902 but had fallen on hard times by the early 1970s. Neighbors came together then to form the Comeback Neighborhood Association to aid them in improving living conditions and in historic preservation. Each home received a plaque for the front porch when it was renovated, and a quilt was sewn with a square representing each home. In cooperation with the City, Perle Mesta Park was created in 1975 on ground occupied by derelict homes. And in 1977 the Comeback association acknowledged that the neighborhood had indeed come back by officially adopting the name of the new park for their neighborhood association. Today Mesta Park is a visible reminder of what neighbors can accomplish when they work together.

Eating local/organic/healthy is a great idea, but devotion to good food as an end in itself does sometimes seem to get out of hand. Beware: Puritanism wore out the Puritans after a couple of generations, and this postmodern Calvinism could go the same way.
If you’re already tired of people expecting you to be painfully cognizant of every consequence of every single choice you make unto the seventh generation, you’ll warm to the inimitable Jessa Crispin's takedown of the new book Grub: Ideas for an Urban Organic Kitchen. She addresses the authors:
“It's like a panel of meat lovers wrote this as a stereotype of what vegetarians would like. It's just so easy, like when you talk about authentic Latin American food and then offer a recipe for portobella mushroom quesadillas as an example and suggest the cook listen to something called 'Love Songs of the Tropics' to set the mood.”
Or as Gene Kahn of Cascadian Farms put it in Steven Shapin’s review of a gaggle of new organic books in the New Yorker last month (no longer on the magazine’s own site but visible here):
“This is just lunch for most people. Just lunch. We can call it sacred, we can talk about communion, but it’s just lunch.”

It was the tail-end of June, in 1969, on the brick-lined streets of New York’s West Village…A community of LGBT+ Americans and allies stood up for their rights and began an equality movement we now refer to as Pride…
June (Pride Month) may be over, but the importance of diversity and human rights remains.
It’s been over 50 years since that day in New York, and since then LGBT+ diversity has become more widely accepted and recognized; being represented in mainstream stores, by organizations, and media…
Though there has been a great deal of progress, there are still certain industries that some say have a long way to go – Trucking being one of them.
Trucking has historically received a bad reputation when it comes to diversity. According to an article from NPR, when asked about how people can attract new drivers, it was stated that:
“…while companies may be more welcoming of women, some minority groups, and LGBT drivers, certain aspects of the trucking industry are still not up to par.”
Our team decided to dig deeper into this, taking to LinkedIn to poll industry professionals in trucking, logistics, and freight.
Forty-four percent of those surveyed said they did not feel diversity is supported in trucking (based on a sample of 479 votes). Additionally, many comments reflected how the industry was in such need that most companies will do, “anything to fill those seats” – but herein lies the issue…There are differences between accepting/tolerating diversity…and supporting diversity. Data suggests that at a macro-demographic level the transportation industry still has a lot of room for improvement to attract a more inclusive workforce.
According to Zippia, the transportation industry consists of:
So, what’s next…?
The answer may be as simple as…listening.
Encourage colleagues and others to foster an environment that supports both LGBT truckers and other minority groups.
Acknowledge the importance of diversity and how people from all walks of life are needed for this industry to thrive.
Remember that equality and inclusiveness remain just as important year-round as they do during federally recognized days/months.
All businesses within the supply chain can participate in “EAR” by making it a priority to ensure that all employees feel accepted, safe, and supported in their roles (whether it be behind a desk or behind the wheel).
Pride month may be over…but deciding to maintain a diverse workforce never has to be.

OBJECTIVE:: To examine the effect of underlying maternal morbidities on the odds of maternal death during delivery hospitalization. METHODS:: We used data that linked birth certificates to hospital discharge diagnoses from singleton live births at 22 weeks of gestation or later during 1995-2003 in New York City. Maternal morbidities examined included prepregnancy weight more than 114 kilograms (250 pounds), chronic hypertension, pregestational or gestational diabetes mellitus, chronic cardiovascular disease, pulmonary hypertension, chronic lung disease, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and preeclampsia or eclampsia. Associations with maternal mortality were estimated using multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS:: During the specified time period, 1,084,862 live singleton births and 132 maternal deaths occurred. Patients with increasing maternal age, non-Hispanic black ethnicity, self-pay or Medicaid, primary cesarean delivery, and premature delivery had higher rates of maternal mortality during delivery hospitalization. From the entire study population, 4.1% had preeclampsia or eclampsia (n=44,004), 1.8% had chronic hypertension (n=19,647), 1.1% of patients were classified as obese (n=11,936), 0.7% had pregestational diabetes (n=7,474), 0.4% had HIV (n=4,665), and 0.01% had pulmonary hypertension (n=166). Preeclampsia or eclampsia (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 8.1; 95% confidence interval [CI], 5.5-12.1), chronic hypertension (adjusted OR, 7.7; 95% CI 4.7-12.5), underlying maternal obesity (adjusted OR, 2.9; 95% CI 1.1-8.1), pregestational diabetes (adjusted OR, 3.3; 95% CI 1.3-8.1), HIV (adjusted OR, 7.7; 95% CI 3.4-17.8), and pulmonary hypertension (adjusted OR, 65.1; 95% CI 15.8-269.3) were associated with an increased risk of death during the delivery hospitalization. CONCLUSION:: The presence of maternal disease significantly increases the odds of maternal mortality at the time of delivery hospitalization.

So who’s having a better weekend than Klay Thompson…other than a fat kid who hit all the right houses for candy this weekend?
Yesterday we posted 5 reasons you should be jealous of Klay Thompson which included (not enough) pictures of his girlfriend Hannah Stocking. Last night against the Blazers, Klay gave us more reasons as he scored 29 points, hit a cluth shot with 9 seconds on the clock and posterized Robin Lopez! Yes, the sharpshooting Klay is dunking on fools now!
It will be interesting to see how Klay plays for the rest of the week. I’m thinking this might be some type of message against his Dad because Portland drafted his father and the Lakers Klay dropped 41 on, is the team his dad is mostly known for. So let’s see if Klay cools down or if his shot stays as hot as Hannah.
I forgot to mention for the fantasy fans that Klay also had a game-high 3 steals and a half as many blocks as the entire the Portland team (they only had 2) last night.
Let’s end this by continuing to feed the hype machine: Klay is the best 2-guard in the NBA!(?)

Fans want to know more about Captain Glenn Shephard. He became a fan-favorite during Season 2 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht. While most loved his laid-back approach in the show’s inception, that cast failed to captivate fans. Season 2 became a hit because it had the perfect crew who worked hard and partied harder.
Glenn teased a new relationship amid the rumors that he’s dating his deckhand, Sydney Zaruba. She was part of that awkward love triangle between Alli Dore and Gary King. During the Season 2 reunion, she revealed that she’s dating a captain. In a separate interview, Glenn revealed that he’s not married but he doesn’t have a lonely bed either.
Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans thought he was dating Sydney
When Sydney admitted she’s dating a captain during the reunion, fans immediately thought she meant Captain Glenn Shephard. The two remained on the Parsifal III long after filming for Season 2 wrapped. Rumors swirled when Glenn shared a selfie of himself with Sydney looking happy together. Recently, he took to Instagram to share another photo of the two with the caption, “I guess the news is out.”
Fans assumed the two were dating. Most of them flocked to Glenn’s comment section to congratulate the couple. The comments section was split. While most were happy about the supposed news, others were in a state of shock. What made matters worse is that Sydney added an orange heart emoji in the comments section.
Glenn updated his caption to confirm their relationship status. “And the news is: Syd and I are great friends. And she’s dating a captain. A different Captain,” he added. Glenn loves to play around with the fans on social media. He already knew they speculated whether he was the captain that Sydney referred to during the reunion special.
Glenn even kept the dating rumors going in a new Instagram post. This time, he shared a photo of himself with Gary. “Ok, Just to clarify […] No, Gary and I are not dating,” he joked. “We are very close, but I can assure you it is purely platonic.”
Captain Glenn Shephard has someone special in his life
Captain Glenn Shephard has kept quiet about his personal life. During the reunion special, he only said that he was not married. He added that he’s not celibate either. Fans assumed that meant he was having a bit of fun with Sydney.
Since the fans love Glenn, Andy wanted to know if he gets a lot of attention on social media. “Does it go down in your DMS?” Glenn said, “Oh, yeah. I get a lot of interesting DMs. Photos, videos, you know, all kinds of invitations. It’s great. I love it.”
He also made an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. Andy asked him about the photo he keeps on the wall of his cabin. Glenn only said that it’s a photo of someone special, but he wouldn’t say who. Later on in the interview, Glenn admitted that he would date Eboni K. Williams from The Real Housewives of New York.

Are retirement homes closing their doors quietly, as some families fear? In the spring, visits to nursing homes were suspended for several weeks, forcing residents into isolation. A confinement that had serious consequences for the morale and health of the elderly.
Since then, the Ministry of Health has repeatedly ruled out the idea of reconfiguring nursing homes … While recommending, from 1er October, from “Strongly reactivate visits by appointment and the limitation of individual outings”. Regulatory measures that have nothing to do with those of the spring, but which can cause misunderstandings and concerns.
Protect without isolating
“There are no supervised tours throughout France, explains Pascal Champvert, president of the Association of Directors in the Service of the Elderly (AD-PA). In half of the departments where the virus does not circulate, the regulations are more flexible. In the others, a distinction is made between establishments affected by the virus and those which are not. “
Visits have been suspended in certain nursing homes, for periods of 7 to 15 days, before reassessment. In the event of a positive diagnosis of a resident, the partial isolation of certain patients could be decided, but not the overall confinement of the establishment.
These restrictions therefore remain in line with the opinion of the National Consultative Ethics Committee (CCNE), which advocates “Individualized, proportionalized and temporalized” and correspond to the slogan of the Minister for Autonomy, Brigitte Bourguignon: “Protect without isolating. “
Visits, but supervised
When the visits are supervised, the meetings take place most of the time in dedicated rooms. Meeting times are inevitably limited and relatives do not always have the opportunity to enter the room of the parent or relative. However, restrictions are inevitable, defend the doctors, to limit the circulation of Covid-19 in these establishments welcoming people extremely vulnerable to the virus.
The vast majority of families would be responsible, according to professionals, agreeing to follow the recommendations of these “partial confinements”. “An estimated 20% of families are unaware of the seriousness of the epidemic and the fragility of their parents, deplores Stephan Meyer, vice president of the national association of coordinating doctors in nursing homes and medico-social (MCOOR). They thus endanger not only their loved ones but the staff of the institution. “

Worry not! Our overview below will allow you precisely what you can anticipate and also just how you can pick the ideal physician.
There 2 surgery types:
Allow us begin with the very basics. Hair transplants involve two various surgeries. These are:
• FUT Procedure
• FUE Procedure
There are a few various other surgical treatment types, but these do not work in every instance. Primarily talking, you need to choose in between these two surgical procedure kinds to obtain the most effective hair transplant results. Allow us consider the surgery types in greater information below.
FUT represents follicular unit hair transplant and goes by the name of strip surgery. The procedure entails eliminating skin from other unshaven body parts. Afterwards, the skin is divided right into various teams, each including follicular units. The skin is transplanted into the marked location. Once that is done, the follicles begin growing once more.
The 2nd alternative is FUE, which represents follicular unit extraction. This procedure is a lot more exact. During this procedure, the doctor removes the actual hair follicles from a little location and also plants them. According to Dr. Munir Somji of Dr. MediSpa, the procedure involves specific hair roots extraction. Usually, the circular spot from which the extraction takes place is just one millimeter in diameter.
The bright side is that FUT and also FUE, both are effective and also are great therapies to deal with hair loss.
According to Stevenson, The problem is that both are extremely intricate treatments. Just a few great cosmetic surgeons are performing them with the required precision. The new clinics are opening as much as draw in consumers and offer them with a second-rate service. They frequently damage well established clinics to obtain new clients. However, they are simply there to profit and also do not offer the preferred results. Stem Cell Hair Loss Treatment Birmingham Cost
Just how To Know If the Hair Transplant Clinic is Trustworthy?
The best way to find out is to ask for a quotation. Ideally, the hair transplant cost ought to be £3000- £10,000. The cost differs depending on the hair follicles that need to transplant and also how severe the hair loss is. If the quote offered to you is much lower than that, you need to be cautious. Probably, that clinic is a fly by night driver.
An additional method to select the right clinic is to initial opt for a consultation keeping that doctor. Any kind of cosmetic surgeon attempting to offer you on the transplant right from the word go is unworthy going with. Stem Cell Hair Loss Treatment Birmingham Cost
Such specialists entice you into the operating room to make money. You need to remember that terrific hair transplantation results are not a quick fix. It needs thorough preparation and implementation.
According to Dr. Edward Ball of The Maitland Clinic, a good specialist should make use of a hair transplantation just as a last hope. Additionally, the person has to recognize what will happen not just with the transplanted area but also with the extracted location.
According to him, the donor area likewise requires to be defined carefully. Not every hair roots appropriates for hair transplant. If the specialist rushes right into the procedure, the transplanted hair follicles may not grow in all. Because instance, the hair transplantation will become the incorrect decision. Such specialists are just in it for the cash.
Stevenson additionally clarifies that the difference between a great specialist and also a negative specialist is the information he/she offers. A great doctor should supply you with the information which you require to hear. A surgeon who wants to lure into the transplant will certainly provide you the information you want to hear. There’s a whole host of distinctions in between both of them.
If the surgeon remains in it just for the money, the doctor will certainly tell you that the procedure is incredibly easy, and the procedure can be done within the next week. Lots of shifty operators will likewise offer you with a discount to entice you in. On the other hand, a truly specialist hair transplantation surgeon will inform you regarding the surgical procedure. He/she will certainly additionally allow you recognize that it is only the last resort. There are a few procedures to choose before selecting a hair transplant.
Dr. Somji explains that it is your obligation to establish a good bond with your hair transplant surgeon as a person. He/she is going to be the individual that will certainly operate on you. Additionally, they will be in touch with you throughout the after-care stage as well. If you encounter a specialist that is not keen to develop an excellent bond and appeal you into the transplant, it may be a good idea to avoid that cosmetic surgeon.
He specifies that undoubtedly, you would certainly require hair restoration once again as we go on shedding hair during our life time. This demands that you locate a specialist with a long-term prepare for you rather than simply a short-term. Stem Cell Hair Loss Treatment Birmingham Cost
Dr. Ball advocates discovering a specialist/ transplant clinic to care for your hair throughout your life instead of selecting one for a solitary time hair transplantation. According to him, individuals need to have a longer-term vision. Only when they check out the long-term influence of hair restoration or hair transplantation, can they obtain a good service. The exact same holds true for the doctors as well. If the physician obtains you a quick fix, it is unsatisfactory. The physician also requires to think long-term while advising a person.
Stevenson also states that many clinics simply try to get you on the operating room. They are hopeless for new clients. Basically, you require to steer clear of from such clinics or doctors.
What should you seek while picking a UK hair transplant surgeon? Stem Cell Hair Loss Treatment Birmingham Cost
Dr. Ball is kind sufficient to offer us with a checklist to assist you select the best UK hair transplant surgeon. Allow us look at the exact same in better information.
1. Know your specialist:
You might be assuming, isn’t that the most noticeable point to do?
When you get in touch with the hair transplant clinic, you will certainly be participated in by a salesperson. If the salesman doesn’t divulge the hair transplantation surgeon’s identity, it would most likely be a fly by night operation.
According to Dr. Ball, the majority of unlicensed medical professionals and also clinics do not like to reveal the doctor’s identification. In addition, if the only individual you can get in touch with is a sales representative or a receptionist, it is unworthy proceeding with that clinic.
So, the first thing which you ought to do is to request the identification of the cosmetic surgeon. Only when you can straight talk to the cosmetic surgeon, must you wage that clinic.
2. Do not go for amount:
Lots of hair transplantation clinics will promptly recommend multiple surgical procedures. The issue is that several surgeries do not always equate to much better results.
According to Dr. Ball, he can accomplish better results than numerous various other surgeons by selecting less surgical procedures. He relies on focusing on only a handful of patients to provide the most effective outcomes rather than lining up surgeries.
If the doctor executes several surgical procedures in a day, that is a warning. Secondly, if the clinic informs you that the doctor carries out 2 to 5 such surgical treatments in a day, it is an indication that the physician believes in amount. Such a surgeon will not have time to focus on your situation alone. In both these instances, it is far better to avoid that doctor.
3. Ask about the precise implementation:
Did you know that lots of clinics make registered nurses and other specialists finish the real transplant?
That is not just dangerous however seldom generates results. According to Dr. Ball, every step like, using the anesthesia, planning the hairline, transplantation of hair, will certainly be with the patient for the rest of his life. Subsequently, the medical professional must direct all these instead of simply the professionals or the nurses. Stem Cell Hair Loss Treatment Birmingham Cost
You have to ask about the exact procedure of the hair transplant from the clinic beforehand. If they do not commit that the doctor will perform the whole procedure, it is an indicator to avoid that clinic.
4. Doctor’s Team:
One more point you need to ask from the hair transplant clinic is whether the physician’s trusted team will be involved in the transplant. If it is just a contracted out group, the results could not be best.
5. Credentials of the physician:
There are different sources to examine the qualifications of your possible cosmetic surgeon. According to Stevenson, several of the resources which you can experiment with are:
These sources are advocated by multiple physicians like Dr. Ball as well as Dr. Eibi Inieko. With these resources, you can examine the certification of the specialist as well as decide about the same.
Would certainly you be comfortable with the doctor with no prior experience to execute your hair transplant?
That is why it is required to look at the previous record of the hair transplantation specialist. Dr. Ball advises the same. Most clinics simply reveal you numerous pictures of their previous patients. Nevertheless, these photos can be conveniently obtained from another clinic or firm.
The pictures which you can rely on are highly outlined and also have proper illumination. It is far better to ask about video endorsements from the clinic. If they can supply you keeping that, it is far more credible proof.
Without looking at the cosmetic surgeon’s previous hair transplant efforts, selecting one is a big blunder.
7. Request for recommendations:
The most effective way to verify the qualifications of any kind of clinic or cosmetic surgeon is to request referrals. You have to spend some time bent on fulfill those referrals.
Likewise examine that they accomplish the Follicular Unit Extraction and also the Follicular Unit Transplantation procedures as well as not one more less costly option.
Expert physicians like Dr. Ball, have a lot of former customers. You can contact those people and also talk with them. Similarly, numerous patients have actually likewise posted their video clips, highlighting their experience. These are quickly offered on YouTube. Since, they are published by the patients and not supported by any kind of clinic or doctor.
Connecting with the referrals or undergoing their individual experiences will certainly aid you select the ideal doctor.
8. Do not go overseas:
The problem with going overseas is that the doctor/surgeon recognizes that you will not see him/her once more. So, they could not place a great deal of effort into the procedure. It is far better to locate a local surgeon or hair transplant expert for the procedure.
9. Interview them:
As a prospective individual, you have all the right to ask questions. You have to ask the specialist numerous concerns like:
• What is the success rate of this procedure?
• What issues can emerge?
• What takes place if I’m not delighted with the results?
• What kind of after-care do I require to embark on?
• What is the overall threat?
• What documentation do I need to sign & Why?
A credible and legitimate hair transplantation doctor can respond to all of those inquiries in higher information. Depending upon his/her answers, it will be simple for you to take a telephone call. Stem Cell Hair Loss Treatment Birmingham Cost
Want an additional method to verify the credentials of the cosmetic surgeon?
Select the doctor that has actually serviced the hairline of a person you recognize. It will guarantee that you understand the first-hand experience of his/her previous patients.
When you adhere to these requirements for selecting a hair transplant doctor/surgeon, possibilities are you can locate the very best from the lot.
Lots of individuals judge the medical professional by his/her hairline. Nonetheless, it is the upside-down. Dr. Iniekio describes why it is so. He specifies that his hair are simply not ideal for a transplant.
Because of this reason, even though he lost his hair in his 20s. He still doesn’t have the ideal hairline. That is why this is not a judgment criterion in case you’re eager to use the exact same.

Little did we know that this article, translated in Bulgarian news media and around Eastern Europe, has made Stanislav Bulgaria's first out athlete, and went a long way to support him in his challenging mission to attend the OutGames in Montreal.
As such, our correspondent Andrew Delaware, pictured right, was invited to march with the Bulgarian delegation and, much to his surprise, was asked to carry the Bulgarian flag into the stadium with Stanislav.
"It was truly an honor, and a moving experience, to march with the Bulgarians," Andrew said. "Each of the Bulgarian athletes made sacrifices we can only begin to imagine, in order to be here at the OutGames and they are rightfully proud to march into this stadium."

What this video is about-we have no idea.
Rumors are swirling however, that Rihanna has had Taylor Swift in her eye and a clap-back on the back burner for her considering Taylor publicly speaking about her distaste for “oversexualized” female artists.
Well it’s like the saying goes: you’re only what you answer to and either Rihanna felt the swipe was about her accurately so, (or considering one can count on their hands who else in pop Taylor could have been talking about) perhaps Rihanna broke it down to that being the common denominator.
Either way some video is being made-that much is true.

Why You Should Consider Prefab Building Systems
An application for prefab building systems is the building of storage space. A storage solution where they use prefab building systems will be long lasting and will also be simple to build. Storage units will be free from moisture and insects since the panels that are used during the building of a storage unit are resistant to this. Storage units are made up of several panels, and one can easily replace one if it gets damaged. Prefab building systems can also be used in warehousing.
Another application for prefab building systems is housing.
The construction of a house using prefab building systems will only take a short time, and one can move into the house. One can get a package from a company that does prefab building systems, and they can build a standard house with all the materials provided by the company. When one purchases panels for a building, they will be assembled on site. One will not have to invest in heavy equipment during the assembly of panels that one will get from a prefab building system provider.
Another application for prefab building systems is the building of classrooms in places where there are shortages of classrooms. The material that is used for making prefab panels is strong, and this is why it can be able to withstand extreme weather conditions, so this makes it suitable for the construction of classrooms. One can even make a structure stronger through the use of reinforced steel when building using the prefab panels. Prefab building systems are also suitable for site offices.
Site offices will be comfortable when one uses prefab building systems.
Through prefab building systems, one will have a low maintenance structure. One has the option of changing the color of prefab building panels by painting. There are custom solutions that are available when people need to do constructions using prefab building materials and one can approach a company that makes the panels when one needs custom designs. To find out the cost of using a prefab building system, one will need to get a quote from the manufacturers of prefab panels.
The manufacturers of prefab building systems can recommend the right number of panels to use for a project. Instead of struggling to find people to install a prefab building, one can get assembly services from the manufacturers of prefab building systems. A builder who has any additional inquiries can address this when they speak to the manufacturers of prefab building systems.

Last April 26th we presented in Madrid the promotion plan «European Animal Welfare of Ruminants». A three-year program financed with European funds for the Spanish and Hungarian sheep and goat interprofessionals (Interovic and JTT) and the Spanish beef interprofessional (Provacuno) to promote and disseminate animal welfare and accredited certifications with which the consumer will be able to recognize at the point of sale the sheep, goat and beef meats that have been produced in compliance with strict parameters that guarantee in a solvent, transparent and transparent way, The event took place at Provacuno’s head office in Madrid, Spain, and was attended by the Spanish Association for the Promotion and Promotion of Animal Welfare (Provacuno) and the Spanish Meat and Beef Association (Provacuno).
The event took place at the headquarters of the Representation of the European Commission in Spain where the day began with a warm welcome by its director, Mª Ángeles Benítez, who lamented that the European livestock sector is sometimes unjustly discredited, ignoring the important contribution it makes to citizens (providing safe food of important density and nutritional value) and to ecosystems and the environment. «Although production systems can all be improved and must continue to adapt to the requirements of the fight against climate change and environmental protection, the current European legislation is the most demanding in the world in terms of animal welfare, environment, quality and safety for sustainable production to ensure affordable quality food for Europeans,» said Benítez.
The welcome was followed by the presentation of the campaign and the reading of the decalogue of the Animal Welfare Commitment that the Spanish and Hungarian sheep and goat farmers and the Spanish cattle farmers wanted to express to society their commitment to the health and welfare of animals.
The day ended with an interesting round table on «The importance of accredited certification» which was moderated by Viviana Kuncar, an expert in certification and director of the food consultancy firm VKF, with the participation of the head of the Agri-Food and GLP Department – ENAC, Pilar Pérez, the general manager of the Inter-Food Forum, Víctor Yuste, and the commercial manager of the company DeOvino, which has accredited certification in Animal Welfare, Valentín Sánchez.
The members of the Forum explained the keys that define the credibility and rigor of the certifications. In this respect, Pilar Pérez of ENAC stressed the importance of accredited certifications, since «an accredited certification provides confidence to users by guaranteeing that the certification entity has technical competence, is impartial and independent, and has the necessary resources to carry out its work properly, since only accredited certification entities have demonstrated to an independent third party their competence and impartiality to provide the certification service».
For his part, the general director of the Inter-Food Forum, Víctor Yuste, insisted that today’s consumer has changed and «has a sustainable vision with the environment and animal welfare», which is why today «it is essential to inform him properly and truthfully about what the certifications in Animal Welfare imply, as these interprofessionals are going to do during the next three years with this campaign that is presented today».
From the point of view of production, the commercial manager of the company DeOvino, Valentín Sánchez added that the accredited certification in Animal Welfare introduces important advantages to farmers and their environment since «it is a tool that allows to maintain the different parameters that affect the animals under a continuous surveillance system and this also brings tranquility and welfare to both farmers and those who work every day with the animals, as well as the supply chain, in addition to the socioeconomic welfare of the environment».
The day ended with the intervention of the president of Provacuno, Eliseo Isla, who, coinciding with the conclusions of the round table, wanted to emphasize that «the accredited certifications offer the maximum guarantees of independence and transparency of the certification process and are valid and recognized at international level». Likewise, Isla insisted on the importance that «accredited certifications are based on scientific parameters that measure what really affects the welfare of the animals and that are measurable and quantifiable repeatedly over time so that, in this way, they can really be objective, have traceability over time and can be monitored to ensure the welfare of the animal».
The president of Provacuno said goodbye asking for the collaboration of the institutions and the media to disseminate rigorous and scientifically based messages to put an end to fakes and to make it easier for consumers to truly know the meaning and scope of what an accredited certification in animal welfare offers them and reminded them that «farmers are at the top of the list of those interested in animal welfare. Without animal welfare, production is not possible».
This event may seem like just another event that the agri-food sector carries out every day, but the reality is that, without a doubt, it is a milestone that marks a before and after because it is a step forward in demonstrating the commitment of an entire sector that wants to do things in the best possible way and with the greatest possible honesty and transparency.
It only remains for you, reader of this message, to perceive this feeling and join in this #commitment that should belong to everyone: the sector, but also the institutions and society.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, there are a vast variety of treatments available for substance abuse problems. The hard part is not the treatment but watching a friend struggle with the challenges of drug abuse and addiction. Most people feel helpless to do anything for their friend. Fortunately, there are ways to approach a person regarding drug abuse that can help them decide to find treatment themselves.
Tell them there is a Problem
Many people ignore the fact that there is a problem with one of their friends. Some even go to the point of making excuses for their friend’s drug or alcohol issues. Most people tend to try and avoid the topic whenever possible. Unfortunately, this does not work if the person needs help. It is best to sit them down and tell them that there is a problem. They might not take it well at first but it is one of the best things you can do for them.
When you tell them, there is a problem site specific examples where their drug use has hurt them and you. Many people do not realize the impact of their drug use until someone tells them. Each person needs to recognize that they are in trouble before they will listen. It might be good to write down specific examples of how and why you think they have a problem.
Explain why the Drug Use is a Problem
Explain how your friend’s addiction negatively affects others.
Explain the problem to them. Some people can pass their drug or alcohol use off as just the way they are. You need to explain why there is a problem. It might be something that they do or have done. It could also be something that they have done to another person. It is important that the user understands why you are talking to them and why their drug use is a problem. Simply stating that there is a problem usually does not work. It takes specifics in order for people to realize that there is a serious issue.
Make Sure they Know that you are their Friend
Part of talking to them is letting them know that you are a friend and that you are talking to them because you are concerned for their wellbeing and their help. Sometimes when talking to a friend out drug use, they will think that you are out to get them. They need to know that you are their friend and are only trying to help.
Ask them to Seek Treatment
Ask them to find help. Make it a request rather than a demand. By asking them, you leave the choice up to them. Let them know you are concerned and that you want them to be okay. By making the request you are telling them that you are willing to help them find the treatment that they need.
