This thorough, if excessive, 25-year retrospective pairs two discs spanning Midnight Oil’s first blistering decade of rock activism with the Australian band’s hit-making, ”Beds Are Burning” period and beyond.
One CD might have done the job, but there’s little bloat here and more than enough to entice die-hards and new listeners with a proper reflection on the group’s genesis, process and closure. Essential Oils draws from all 14 of their recordings between 1978 and 2002. At 36 songs, the album traces a journey of demanding social justice through song, ones that evolve from polished punk to textured pop to industrial mayhem.
Through the years Midnight Oil’s music grew more incendiary and more confrontational. But rather than call out injustice by pointing fingers, Midnight Oil kept busy by lifting them. The group reported on global atrocities to an audience unfamiliar with such suffering and condemned the destruction of cultures and landscapes, including Australia’s indigenous Aboriginal people.
Radio’s initial resistance to playing the Oils in their own country failed to prevent their charting success by the late 1980s, when lead singer Peter Garrett became president of the Australian Conservation Foundation. This collection’s second disc includes a handful of selections from 1987’s Diesel and Dust, a Billboard fixture for more than a year.
Timelessness is preserved in moments like Garrett’s madcap rant on nukes from “Lucky Country,” Rob Hirst’s rapid drumming on “Only the Strong,” and the R.E.M./Smiths-inspiring guitar jangle of “Read About It.” These songs are brash but clean, even catchy. And by the time “Golden Age” arrives on this set, the end of Essential Oils feels premature, as did the band’s split in 2002. “They stopped, with dignity,” Rolling Stone’s David Fricke writes in the liner notes, “leaving the work and history they made to resonate and agitate.”


In early March, medicinal chemist Keith Hornberger, writing on X(formerly Twitter), asked for tales of broken laboratory glassware. His son had just broken a beaker in his high school chemistry class.
“The whole idea was to just get people to share some stories that I could share with him and cheer him up a little bit and make him realize that he was not alone. And boy, did they come through,” Hornberger tells Newscripts.
Becca Mellema, a PhD student who responded to the post, recalls a time she was working with a group of science educators at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry doing a popular demonstration for a group of kids with concentrated sulfuric acid and sugar. Typically, the demonstration process is to pour sugar into a beaker, add concentrated sulfuric acid, and watch a black snake-like structure erupt. But on this fateful day, Mellema and her coworkers couldn’t find a beaker, so they used an unlucky Erlenmeyer flask for the reaction.
“It’s an exothermic reaction—pressure was building up, there was heat. And turns out if you don’t have a big enough beaker neck, the entire thing explodes,” Mellema says.
Thankfully, Mellema and her coworkers set off the reaction behind a blast shield, so no one was hurt. And at the very least, she says, the flask “went out in a blaze of glory. It would have wanted that.”
Jessica Pomerantz, an author who also responded to Hornberger’s post, recounted that in the first hour on the first day of an internship at Princeton University’s plasma physics laboratory, her mentor Carl Szathmary showed her around the lab, where she saw “this impossibly complicated piece of glasswork. He says, ‘Just whatever you do, don’t break this.’ ”
“In my mind, it was just a few moments later. I don’t even think I was doing the actual lab work yet. I think I just like moved my hands and immediately broke it. It just shattered. And that was my start to plasma physics,” Pomerantz tells Newscripts.
But glassware can be replaced—even if you have to preorder it and pick it up in person, as was the case with this particular instrument. And Szathmary “kept me as his intern, which was super nice, and we moved on from that really easily,” Pomerantz says.
“We only want to talk about things that went well. But that’s not how research works. Ninety-five percent of research is failure. And I think we need to normalize talking about that,” Hornberger says. “It was really great that everybody was willing to come together around this and have a little fun with it, too. And I think my son also now appreciates a little bit more that these things are gonna happen, and he wasn’t alone.”
Hornberger’s post even inspired some of C&EN’s own staffers to share their stories of chemistry gone awry.
Brianna Barbu, an assistant editor in the physical science group, remembers breaking a crucial piece of tubing on an expensive potentiostat when she was an undergraduate. Her advisor quickly fixed it “with a tube of glue that he kept in his desk right along with the antidote for cyanide poisoning,” she says.
Before Craig Bettenhausen, a senior editor in the business group, came to C&EN, he was a high school chemistry teacher. He once let the reaction of sodium metal with water get too hot during a classroom demonstration. “It melted the metal lump, which then reacted all at once, creating a huge steam cloud. We had to evacuate the whole school, and six students had to go back to their dorms to shower off the sodium hydroxide. Good thing we were all wearing goggles and gloves!” he says. Bettenhausen was teaching at a therapeutic boarding school, where many of the students had been in juvenile detention or expelled from other schools. “The academic director called me in after things calmed down. I thought I was fired for sure. Nope, he was excited that we were doing real experiments. It was the most trust some of these kids had gotten in years.”
Please send comments and suggestions to firstname.lastname@example.org.
This story was updated on April 2, 2024, to correct the acid used in the carbon snake demonstration. It is concentrated sulfuric acid, not hydrochloric acid.

Inspired by the thread on favorite fantasy movies (http://www.sffworld.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3262&highlight=movie), I thought I'd put up a little theory of mine and see what people think.
It's no secret that, with the (big, huge, exceptional) exception of LoTR, fantasy movies -- good or bad -- have tended to bomb at the box office. SF movies on the other hand, thrive -- both the good and the bad. I've never been able to figure out why. This is especialy strange when you consider that Star Wars is nothing but a standard-repetoire fantasy archetype.
If it's not storylines, I got to thinking, might it be setting? And then it struck me that it might just be the suspension of disbelief factor. Fantasy more or less evokes a mythological past, one the audience knows didn't happen. SF, on the other hand, brings up a future that just might.
Film being such an in-your-face representational medium, maybe people just find it easier to stomach the idea of aliens that just might -- who knows? -- land someday than dragons and mages they know for a fact never existed.
Those are my two cents (or maybe fifty...). What do y'all think?
October 4th, 2002, 03:47 PM
Moving this to TV/FILM where it will get the love and attention it deserves.
October 4th, 2002, 03:56 PM
Well I'm sure there are other reasons but for me one is that fantasy movies on the whole just look neater and more visually pleasing. I usually hate looking at aliens but the ships and uniforms and costumes make up for it most times. The fantasy creatures we usually see, at least in the past, looked awful. I cannot think of a decent looking dragon at the moment. Moreover, the best thing about fantsy movies visually often is usually the scantily clad heroine but that does tend to take points off the intelligence meter.
Anyway I'm not sure I really like that many sci-fi movies ahead of fantasy ones. Of course there are the Star Wars movies and Seconds for sci-fi but on the other hand fantasy offers The Princess Bride, The Wizard of Oz, and The NeverEnding Story amongst others. I think I like fantasy movies more.
October 4th, 2002, 04:39 PM
I think Bond makes an excellent point. In fantasy, the effects were never really able to keep up with the setting.
Monsters and dragons usually looked cheesy in the extreme.
Conan looked good, and LOTR of course was visually brilliant. Maybe now with the success of LOTR and better effects technology, we can see some more quality fantasy.
and of course the Indiana Jones' and as quite lighter movies the Mummie(..returns) as well as everyone's new favorite "Gladiator" deserves some mentioning.
Of course it boils down to what type of Fantasy you want to see on the big screen. Is it really more difficult doing a decent Fantasy Movie than creating a SF one? Probably if your SF standard is somewhere in the likes of an 2001:Odyssey where the movie lives on suspension and slow action. But SF-movie goers today want more too ! Fast-paced action scenes, strange but still believable aliens, odd worlds and what not to keep ILM busy for months. It could be done for Fantasy as well but SF just seems to be more mainstream and probably attracts more visitors, so it is what is being produced more often.
Not that there arent SF failures either, Lost in Space (the new one) and Red Planet didn't do all too well as far as I know.
Star Trek and Star Wars thrive because of their fan base, not necessarily because of their "stand-alone" quality.
Personally though I like to watch SF rather than read a book, while I read more Fantasy than I could watch. Still I like good Fantasy movies and I basically stopped reading SF some years ago.

I think it's a very interesting and logical point you make jfaustus, and after giving it some thought, I think I'm going to have to agree with you.
Unfortunatly modern society has bred many harcore skeptics, but the nature of mankind allows them to be at least hopeful when doubtfull.
Cool thread. :cool:
October 5th, 2002, 07:44 PM
OMG, Draxinusom! Can i pleeeeeease just point out that 'Braveheart' is history, not fantasy! I have no doubt that details were twisted to make the story into a better film, but William Wallace, Robert Bruce etc etc were very real men (which, imo, makes it an even better film than if they hadn't - but a very sad one :()
(Sorry for jumping in - but Braveheart is one of my fav films, and that part of Scotland's history interests me, so i couldn't help but shout.)
On the whole, i have to agree with you theory that many ppl want at least a little plausibility in the films they watch - and, in many cases, in the books they read to, imo.
October 5th, 2002, 08:09 PM
No offense taken, however, may I in turn point out that although I too immensly liked that move (heck half a meter to my right the movie-poster hangs on the wall !)
you should be aware that the Person "William Wallace" did really exist. HOWEVER, what he had done or not is not readly proofable.
I once read that he lived during a very different time period than the "hot phases" where Scotland was constantly fighting England.
So although there might be some truth to it, there is much legend, myth and folklore.
I think it is quite similar with our national hero (I'm Swiss...) Wilhelm Tell (often "William Tell" in english languages) who is attributed opposing and finally killing the local Govenor of an oppresive outlandish Emperor.
(shot version of the story here) (http://www.pbs.ch/eng/tell.html)
However everything that recent ressearch in that field showed was that a man by that name *might* have existed and *might* have been just an outlaw against those in command at that time. Nothing more. So it boils down to much myth and folklore and if you ever watched a rumor "evolve" by passing but a few people nowadays, you can get a fairly accurate guess at how such stories must have come to pass.
Still I can of course not proove anything but I do look at it as Fantasy not as History. It does have a historical background but so does the movie Gladiator which however was purely fictous.
October 7th, 2002, 10:10 AM
I think Draxinusom is right about Braveheart. Whilst William Wallace did exist and as far as I know the battles actually happened, often the events and even the outcomes of the battles were changed. As far as I can remember the Scots only beat the English once at the Battle of Strirling Bridge where the English heavy cavalry were bogged down by the marshes surronding the Bridge.
I could of course be talking rubbish (I haven't done Scottish history since primary school) but it all makes for a good story!
PS: William Wallace being Australian, that has to be fantasy...
October 7th, 2002, 10:44 AM
I don't know if we're talking about failure of modern fantasy films here or just in general, but there was a certain Mr Ray Harryhausen who did the effects for many movies including the Sinbad series, Jason an the Argonauts, Clash of the Titans and even a pre-Jurrasic Park story called "Valley of the Gwangi" (which was about a lost world of dinosaurs in a (relatively) modern era).
He alone seemed to keep the fantasy genre alive in films due to his "stop-motion" animation techniques.
Fantasy hasn't been much cop since then and it could have something to do with the lack of special effects required to reproduce fantasy realms until recently.
The original LoTR animated film (currently being slated in another thread) was the best that could be done for it's era, but I would hope that with today's CGI magic and the success of LoTR, there will be a resurrection of fantasy on the big screen which will give it the attention it deserves.

1c). Once a hemiacetal has been formed, it can react with a further alcohol group to form an acetal. During this reaction, water is given off (it is therefore called a condensation reaction) and the process is not easily reversed. In the sugars the formation of acetals involves a reaction between the hemiacetal group on one sugar molecule and an alcohol from another. In this way two sugar molecules are linked together to form new and more complex carbohydrates. There is another consequence of the formation of hemiacetals: the carbon of an aldehyde is not asymmetric but that of a hemiacetal is, so that there are two possible optical isomers of each sugar hemiacetal.
All these disaccharides are formed between the hemiacetal carbon of the left-hand sugar and the 4 carbon of the right-hand one. Thus, whilst the ring shape of the left-hand sugar is fixed, the right-hand one is free to open to the straight-chain form. This means that in maltose, cellobiose and lactose the aldehyde group of the left-hand glucose is unable to take part in any oxidation/reduction reactions. However, the righthand glucose group can react in this way, so these disaccharides still have reducing properties.
LlT where LlT is the depression of freezing point. 17 Measuring osmotic pressure in this way is a useful concept in chemistry, but in practice the solutions that are met in biological systems are so complex that the equations do not have much meaning. For instance, much of the osmotic pressure of biological fluids comes from proteins, and it is almost impossible to determine how many of the charged groups on the protein will be ionized at anyone time and to what extent. This means that we cannot calculate M with any degree of accuracy.

Emma Sellers Named New PAEA Chief Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Officer
After a rigorous talent acquisition process which received almost 400 applicants, PAEA is proud to announce that Emma Sellers, MS, has been named Chief Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Officer (CEDIO), effective immediately.
Sellers began making an immediate impact after joining the PAEA staff as Director of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in August 2022. She has developed strategies to build program and faculty capabilities in EDI, including the first ever PAEA Workshop on leveraging PAEA’s DEI Toolkit that will be part of the Spring Workshop series in April 2023. She led the planning behind the DEI Meet and Greet at 2022 Education Forum, one of the most well-attended and energetic EDI sessions at the Forum to date.
“The vision and thought leadership Emma will bring to this role will enable PAEA to advance its mission and strategic goals,” said PAEA CEO Sara Fletcher, PhD. “Her approach to championing EDI in PA education has established her as a leader in this space, with several programs already seeking out her and her team’s expertise.”
Sellers was the only internal candidate for the position, and she was chosen after an initial review of applications against the criteria laid out by PAEA leaders in the position description. From there, an internal team reviewed the top resumes, which had been narrowed down to almost 50 candidates before inviting seven finalists to an initial behavioral interview. Once the interviews were completed, the top two candidates took part in a final interview, which consisted of a case study, design challenge, and dialogue around PAEA’s role supporting programs in meeting ARC-PA’s standard on diversity.
Note: Readers may notice the use of “DEI” and “EDI,” which both refer to the terms ‘Diversity,’ ‘Equity’ and ‘Inclusion.’ As EDI becomes more commonly used, expect to see the term become the standard in PAEA communications.

Racing One boss Martin Kohlhaas has revealed that he is in discussions with both Aston and Ferrari about putting together a programme for the start of the DTM's GT3 era.
The team already possesses a pair of Ferrari 488 GTE Evos, with which it plans to contest this year's Nurburgring Endurance Series (NLS) and 24H Series, but would need to acquire a Vantage at the cost of around 500,000 euros should it join forces with Aston.
Should the move happen, it would put Aston back on the DTM grid following the collapse of the R-Motorsport Vantage DTM project after the conclusion of the 2019 season.
The British manufacturer ould also become the sixth different marque on the 2021 grid after Audi, BMW, Mercedes, McLaren and Ferrari, which is already guaranteed a presence in the series this year by way of AF Corse's Red Bull-backed two-car programme.
"Aston Martin would maybe support a bit more because they don't have a very strong presence in Germany," Kohlhaas told Motorsport.com. "They would even provide us with very good drivers with budgets, unlike Ferrari. But finalising the DTM topic is incredibly difficult.
"We are not an Aston team. And above all, we would then have to accompany our other series with Aston Martin. It's difficult to get that puzzle together with another manufacturer. The chances between Ferrari and Aston Martin are currently 50:50."
Kohlhaas added that Racing One could use a potential programme in the GT4-based DTM Trophy series using Astons as a way to help fund a DTM project, but said any DTM Trophy programme is contingent on a presence in the main series.
The team is already committed to running four Audi R8 LMS GT4s across the GT4 European Series and ADAC GT4 Germany, which respectively support the GT World Challenge Europe and ADAC GT Masters championships for GT3s.
"The choice is between DTM and GT World Challenge Europe," added Kohlhaas, adding that racing in the DTM may be impossible without the necessary budget.
He ruled out the team's existing primary sponsor, German brake manufacturer Hella Pagid, being the main backer of a prospective DTM entry.
Kohlhaas said that the fact that the GT World Challenge Europe season begins in April will force his team to reach a speedy decision on its DTM plans, even though the latter campaign isn't set to commence until June following the cancellation of the St. Petersburg opener.
"If I don't have a finished programme up and running by the end of February, then I'll have to look hard at fielding the Ferraris elsewhere," he clarified. "So I have to commit to that in the first weeks of March."

Skyline soccer wins state titleNov 29, 2021 11:29AM ● By Daniel Olsen
The Skyline girls team celebrates a first half goal during the championship game at Rio Tinto. (Photo contributed by Tyler Baker)
By Daniel Olsen | [email protected]
Joy illuminated the faces of soccer players on the Skyline Eagles team as they hoisted the 5A UHSAA Girls Soccer State Championship trophy. It was a special year in which they finished unblemished.
“We started with a great preseason and found two players that weren’t on the team last year,” coach Yamil Castillo said. “We returned talent like Aly Swenson. We had several other players coming back who play very well. We thought we could win a title, but expected some growing pains. We went into the postseason undefeated. I feel when we play anyone in the region, they give us their best game. We have a strong region. We had only one overtime game against East. We knew they were a team that could make it a challenge. In the shootout we had an amazing goalkeeper and we beat them.”
There were great individual performances, but the entire team play is what helped the Eagles come out on top. It wasn’t until they bought into the team aspect that they really hit their peak.
“Our team motto this year is ‘Together’,” Aly Swenson said. “At the beginning we struggled playing together. Our team wins by playing well together.”
The senior played the forward position and was an integral part of the team’s success. She will be continuing her soccer career at Weber State University and is excited to play with some players from her club team.
It was unanimous among the Skyline High School coaches who would win the team MVP, but it is important to note that everyone on the team had an impact on this championship.
“Lily Boyden was voted the MVP of our soccer team,” Castillo said. “There is no question that she is an amazing athlete. I can point out other players that helped carry the team, but it wouldn’t be fair to the rest of the players. We had a great offense, defense and goalkeeper. We played as a team and made mistakes, but were able to come out on top. We shut out our opponents in the first few rounds, but the games got closer as the playoffs progressed. I want to give credit to the team and community. The kids are amazing. They all contributed to our success.”
The future looks bright for Skyline soccer as the girls return plenty of experience next year.
“We have half of the starters coming back,” Castillo said. “They are sophomores. That will open the door for a lot of other kids like the current freshman players. When we won state in 2019, we had an amazing group of underclassmen. I hope that now that we’ve gone undefeated, that will bring a new group of strong players.”
After playing in high school fields, a change of scenery was a fun change as the players got to play the final rounds of the state playoffs at Rio Tinto Stadium. That is the home of the Real Salt Lake team that competes professionally in Major League Soccer.
“We’ve played on a lot of different soccer fields,” Swenson said. “This was a huge field and a different atmosphere. It made the game feel more important.”
The change of scenery didn’t make the players or coaching staff waver whatsoever.
“We play quite a few games at a football stadium that’s a little bigger than a soccer field. We played at Juan Diego High School and got used to the size of the bigger fields. I thought the girls were prepared for the challenge. They had athleticism and talent. We knew we were going to succeed. They’ve been to the finals four times. The experience factor helped.”
This time, Skyline was definitely motivated to do more than just get to the championship game.
“I would say the determination, the desire and goals set us apart,” Castillo said. “Our goal ultimately isn’t just to be happy to make the team. We always have in our mind to be region champs and go to the finals. It looks easy but it’s a challenge. There are a lot of good teams and players all over the state. The girls come together. When you play together as a team, nothing is impossible.”
It was a fun journey for the players as they discovered with time that they had a great shot to win a state championship.
“We didn’t realize it until we beat Olympus for the second time,” Swenson said. “It’s fun to keep destroying teams that are not able to stop us.”
Key players stepped up throughout the season to really solidify the depth of this team.
“Berlyn Dibble, who plays the center mid-position was a big help,” Swenson said. “She played the second half of the season as she couldn’t play at the start. She is a calm and composed player who was key to our success.”

“No immediate food scarcity in Gojal valley”, Usman Younis
by Noor and Ghulam Nasir
Gulmit, January 8: “The biggest challenge in front of the disaster management authority is opening of the Karakuram Highway and mitigation of the danger posed by the lake formed on Hunza river”, the director general of Gilgit – Baltistan Disaster Management Authority told Pamir Times on phone. He was visiting an operation base established in Gulmit.
Responding to a question he said that there is no immediate food scarcity in Gojal Valley. He said that food items are being shifted to the valley through helicopters on daily basis. He also said that the wheat present in government depots has been taken under state protection. While the DG informed us about presence of over two thousand sacks of wheat in government depots located in Gojal valley, independent sources said that the number of wheat sacks in the government depots is not more than a few hundreds.
When asked if the government of China would be contacted to supply food items to Gojal valley, Usman Younis, also the home secretary, said that there was need to import wheat from China. “Pakistan is a self sufficient country and we would fulfill all needs from local resources”, he said.
He also said that the government is conducting a needs assessment survey in the valley to ascertain the food security situation. “We are in the process of preempting the ensuing food insecurity threat posed by the lake formation and blockade of Karakuram Highway, but I can assure you that there is no immediate need to worry”, he said.
Responding to questions about a news item reported on Pamir Times regarding a volley ball tournament that he, reportedly, suggested to the youth of Gojal, Usman said that the volley ball tournament was not my idea but a suggestion given by someone from the youth”.

An upper body lift is a body contouring surgery performed by plastic surgeon, Dr. Erick Sanchez, that removes wrinkled, hanging skin on the upper body. The best candidates for these procedures are men and women with sagging skin and fatty tissue in multiple areas of the upper half of their body that is nearly impossible to lose with diet and exercise alone. By reshaping and tightening the skin, the upper body lift alter the love handles on the upper back, flabby skin on the underside of the arms, deflated breasts, and fat bulges on the upper abdomen. This combination of surgeries at Sanchez Plastic Surgery in Baton Rouge, LA is common for patients who have lost 100 pounds or more.
"Augmentation and breast lift - My experience with Dr. Sanchez was fabulous. His staff is very sweet and professional. I would definitely recommend him for plastic surgery."- Anonymous / Vitals / Oct 17, 2017
"He is very sincere and honest! I went to several doctors about my procedure and felt most comfortable and confident in him. He explained everything to me and let me be apart of the decision-making. I HIGHLY recommend him!"- Anonymous / RateMDs / Aug 30, 2017
"Dr. Sanchez is very straight to the point with you but very nice and respectful. He did such an amazing job with my abdominoplasty!! After having the gastric sleeve July of 2016 and losing around 123lbs, I had what Dr. Sanchez found out in surgery was a total of 7lbs of excess skin from my entire mid section. He completely removed all excess skin, a tummy tuck on the inside and even lifted my flanks and thighs. My figure is now what it's suppose to be which is an hourglass shape!!"- R.M. / Healthgrades / Aug 15, 2017
"Great surgeon creating awesome results!! - After reviewing several plastic surgeons on various websites and medical review sites, I was not impressed by the before/after photos or reviews. I then came across Dr. Sanchez's site through a sponsored Facebook ad and made the call. The ladies there are just awesome! Dr. Sanchez is very straight to the point with you but very nice and respectful. He did such an amazing job with my abdominoplasty!! After having the gastric sleeve July of 2016 and losing around 123lbs, I had what Dr. Sanchez found out in surgery was a total of 7lbs of excess skin from my entire mid section.

I can't wait until I can see him again in the future for a breast lift and augmentation!"- Anonymous / Vitals / Aug 14, 2017

What to Expect
An upper body lift can include a combination of an arm lift, a breast lift and liposuction on the upper back. The extent of the surgical intervention will differ from patient to patient. During the initial consultation, our surgeon will assess your arms, breasts, upper back, abdomen and torso to discuss the body contouring techniques that will be used to create a tailored upper body lift that meets the patient goals. Liposuction is almost always used to eliminate excess fat and tissue. We will work one-on-one with the patient to identify the areas of the body that will be surgically corrected. This combination of procedures will be performed on the same day or as discussed with your surgeon.
After the Surgery
Our patients usually spend a couple nights in the hospital after upper body lift surgery, and total of two weeks off from work to recovery from the surgery. Patients will be required to maintain multiple drains on their body to help drain excess fluid and blood. The recovery following an upper body lift can be lengthy due to the nature of having multiple surgeries. Six week after the operation, most patients begin to feel normal and start to see results. At this time, exercise can gradually be resumed.
Most upper body lift patients can expect to pay between $15,000 to $20,000. Because the upper body lift involves multiple surgeries, the extent of each procedure, medications administered, and the number of post-operative visits will effect the overall price.
Plan Your Procedure
Upper Body Lift FAQs
Can I Combine Surgeries?
On average, an upper body surgery has a recovery time of about six weeks. Because an upper body lift and a lower body lift are fairly extensive surgical undertakings, most surgeons will opt to separate the procedures into two separate surgeries. This is to minimize risks, allow for healing, and keep the patient healthy.
What About Scarring?
We make every effort to place the incisions in areas that can be covered with clothing and hidden as much as possible. Incision placement is truly dependent on the patient's body and surgical needs, and this varies for each patient.
Can I Use Insurance?
Your medical coverage and benefits will be discussed during your financial meeting with one of our billing and insurance coordinators. In most cases, insurance companies will not cover cosmetic surgery. Only in cases of medical problems or infection that exists because of loose and hanging skin in weight loss patients.
Will I See Positive Results?
Yes, upper body surgery does produce positive results. Seeing a dramatic difference in your physique and shape can give you a major boost in body confidence. This surgery allows many to feel confident in their own skin again. Many patients say that they feel like they have a brand new body following this procedure and that they can’t wait to wear form-fitting clothes.

Why are we in the era of information protection?
As companies advance on their digital platforms, with the implementation of sophisticated technology systems, there is growing fear of cyberattacks - sabotage, theft, or even hijacking vital data and information. This concern makes sense. According to global information security company SonicWall, the year 2018 has already set a record for this type of threat. In its biannual report, the company estimates that 6 billion network system threats worldwide have been logged from January to June. That number is more than double that of the same period in 2017.
The theme is so relevant that it was one of the main themes of the 2018 World Economic Forum in Switzerland. Alois Zwinggi, general director of the forum and leader of the Global Cybersecurity Center, said in Davos that "if we are to avoid an era of digital darkness, we need to work harder to ensure that the benefits and potential of the Fourth Industrial Revolution are safe for the society". So cyber security is the watchword. And it goes beyond borders. Leaders of large global companies are constantly in search of more and better data protection systems.
Research by Russian Internet security consultancy Kaspersky Lab in Latin America in 2018 points out that large corporations are allocating up to 30% of their IT budgets for online security in a strategy of redefining corporate data protection. Mauricio Fiss, the technology partner of global consultancy Protiviti, confirms: "In recent years, the cybersecurity market has exploded. Because of the increasing number of attacks, the amount of encrypted data in enterprises has only increased. "
We have reached a stage where companies no longer have the option of worrying about digital security or not. "It's a matter of survival. Without cybersecurity there is no way to digitize a company, and a company that is not digital does not survive. "
Experts heard by FORBES are unanimous in saying that it is not enough to arm themselves against external threats; it is necessary, first of all, to be attentive to internal security breaches. The main cyber security problem in the country lies in the exposure of corporate data. He reiterates that much of these leaks do not originate in external invasions, but in internal joints or errors.
Companies are too worried about outsiders, but most of the problems are caused by employees, whether by mistake or bad intent. Who remembers taking that ex-employee out of the shared file network? Often, when you open the settings, you can see that there are several people who are no longer in the company and still have access to internal data.
Companies involved in data leaks suffer an average 8% decrease in their stock value on the day after the discovery of a failure. Investors interpret these companies as unreliable.
As a human failure, analysts also include oversights of executives and employees when they are not necessarily in the physical space of the company. Smartphones, like mobile devices, for example, are increasingly targeted. Today's technology allows all the information you need, or guard, to be in the palm of your hand. That is, sometimes the employee, in his leisure time, is carrying with him a series of essential information about the company in which he works. Public places are not best suited to dealing with confidentiality issues, either because someone can hear you or because of the wi-fi.
A basic lesson is to avoid making the most of connecting to public networks. By sharing the same network as you, someone who is malicious may gain access to your device if it is not properly shielded. The orientation is to invest in the 4G network.
Care must also be taken with the programs used by executives inside or outside the company. A survey shows that companies have on average 200 unmapped systems, from programs downloaded to file sharing media.
It is not enough to instruct and even monitor your employees if the systems used by the company do not have adequate protection tools. It is recommended that companies purchase "security by design" programs that already come with the necessary security tools. You do not just talk about smart city, but on safer city: if you're going to offer a solution, you have to offer it safely. No one is going to buy a car that runs a lot, but it has no brake. With IT, people do not have that culture. The company buys a system and has to run behind to add the necessary instruments, such as if you install the seat belt and airbag only after using the car.
In this digital transformation environment, often the area of information technology goes to tow. So it's important to have a governance process - but you can not do it without the specialized tools.


We are excited and proud to present our new study of thePortland Police Bureau: Oversight and Accountability. For decades, Portlanders have responded to police violence by demanding reforms and better oversight. This study describes both the problems encountered and the progress made. A major section lists the “Opportunities for Change” that will improve safety and fairness for both Portland civilians and the police officers who serve them. As the study’s conclusion states:
Portland’s police and City officials have work ahead to improve police accountability structures and authentic community engagement. The relationship between the public and the police is necessarily a two-way street, demanding mutual participation and investment, to build mutual respect and trust. The League stands ready to continue upholding our part in advancing a public safety environment that is fair, healthy, and just for all.
This study is the product of nine months of work by a 22-member volunteer study committee. Committee members reviewed 55 documents and also interviewed 22 key stakeholders, including police leadership, elected officials, and advocates for change.
An important addition to the study report is the Online Appendix, which you can read here. This not only has links to key source documents, but also brief summaries of each. It offers information that truly enhances the data in the study.
And a Panel Discussion of the Issues!
We also produced a panel discussion about Portland Police Oversight and Accountability. You’ll find the recording above this post. The panelists are:
Representative Janelle Bynum, who serves in the Oregon Legislature representing the 51st District, which includes East Portland and cities in east Multnomah County. Rep. Bynum serves as Chair of the House Judiciary Committee and Subcommittee on Equitable Policing. Her legislative proposals in the 2021 session include bills for a database on police use of force, prompt medical assessment for arrested persons, and limits on the use of arbitration to reverse police agency findings of police misconduct.
Shawn Campbell, Chair of the Training Advisory Council (TAC) for the Portland Police Bureau. The TAC is a group of civilians who advise the PPB Training Division and Chief of Police. The TAC has outlined how changes in accountability, officer wellness, public safety specialization, procedural justice, and restorative justice could improve public safety.
Carol Johnson, JD, MA, an attorney who has spent her career working on civil rights. In 2019, she was appointed to Portland Police Citizen’s Review Committee, which advises the Bureau’s Independent Police Review (IPR). Johnson worked with the Portland League and The Links, Inc. on our newly published study, Portland Police Bureau: Oversight and Accountability.
MetroEast Community Media records our panel discussions and our candidate interviews and forums.
What can we do here and now to reduce the threat of climate change? In March, the Portland LWV recorded an online panel discussion with local and state experts.

In addition, she talks about the transition to zero-emission transportation, as well as how to design programs that improve equity of access for vulnerable communities.
Tim Miller, Director of Oregon Business for Climate, discusses the important role of business in addressing climate change. He serves on the boards of multiple climate policy organizations and has provided strategic consulting to over 30 clean-tech companies, non-profits, and agencies. He also has launched his own clean-tech start-up in the transportation sector.
Richard Whitman is the Director of the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. He discusses what DEQ is doing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. He also explains DEQ’s involvement in legislative bills to combat climate change and the proposed move of the Environmental Justice Task Force into DEQ.
Robin Tokmakian moderates the program. A League member, Robin has represented the LWVUS since 2017 as part of the Observer Corps to the United Nations, with an emphasis on climate issues. She also serves as LWV Oregon’s representative to the NW Energy Coalition.
Making an energy transition
In the coming years, we must change the ways we produce and use energy. The League of Women Voters supports climate goals and policies that are consistent with the best available science and that will ensure a stable climate system for future generations. Our country and the Northwest are already experiencing extreme weather, drought, ocean warming and acidification, king tides and forest fires. We cannot wait to start making the changes needed to address this climate emergency.

On August 26, 2020, we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the certification on the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. This amendment states that the right to vote cannot be denied on account of a citizen’s sex. It gave 26 million American women the right to vote. Unfortunately, some women were still denied the vote because of their race or ethnicity. So this was an important beginning, but much more needed to be done.
In 1973, U.S. Congresswoman Bella Abzug introduced a resolution to make August 26 Women’s Equality Day. Her resolution was passed by Congress on August 16, 1973. Every year since then, each U.S. President has proclaimed August 26 as Women’s Equality Day, honoring women’s voting rights and recognizing that work toward full equality for women is progressing, but not yet complete.

Gianluigi Buffon confirmed on Wednesday that he will leave Paris Saint-Germain when his contract is expired after only one year playing with the French multiple champions. The team has already begun the search for Buffon’s replacement and they have targeted two top keepers for the job. Gigi shared duties with Alphonse Areola during his first and only season in Paris, but now the club doesn’t look very interested in the idea of promoting the French World Cup winner as number one.
Just like they have been doing in recent campaigns, PSG will try to find a good asset in the transfer market and the names they have, make their fans dream ahead of next season. Manchester United’s David De Gea and Real Madrid outgoing Keylor Navas are the two players expected to land in Paris this summer.
De Gea has been linked with PSG for quite a while now, ever since we learned that his contract talks with Manchester United were going nowhere. The Spanish international has only one year remaining of his contract, a scenario that leaves Man. Utd. in a not-so-good position.
According to The Times, Les Parisiens are 'ready to make a bid' for De Gea. The newspaper claims that 'sources close to De Gea' have revealed he is nowhere near to reach a new agreement with the Red Devils even though negotiations started two years ago. The club won’t meet De Gea’s £350,000-per-week wage demands and also insists that they won’t let him go this summer. That’s not a good move for them, as they can see David leaving the team for nothing next summer when his current contract expires.
Yet, this move can't be that easy for PSG since De Gea is not interested in joining them given the lack of competitiveness there is in Ligue 1 and that’s when Keylor Navas makes his appearance, as the three-time Champions League winner might be an easier signing for Thomas Tuchel’s team.
Marca claims that 'discussions have already begun' between the French side and Navas, who is set to leave Real Madrid after the club informed him he’s not part of the team’s plans for next season. Even though he played a major role in Madrid European dominance, Navas lost his starting spot to Thibaut Courtois when the Belgian arrived in Spain last summer.
Now PSG can take advantage of both players' situations and sign a goalkeeper that will assure them great results.

Stroke: Doctor explains the signs and symptoms of a stroke
A stroke is a serious life-threatening medical condition, regarded as a medical emergency.
It occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off, which injures the brain and can leave victims with long-term problems.
The brain needs the oxygen and nutrients provided by blood to function properly.
If the supply of blood is restricted or stopped, brain cells begin to die.
It's possible to significantly reduce your risk of having a stroke by making lifestyle changes to avoid problems such as atherosclerosis and high blood pressure
This can lead to brain injury, disability and possibly death.
There are two main causes of strokes, known as ischaemic and haemorrhagic strokes.
Ischaemic is when a blood clot blocks the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain, and accounts for 85 per cent of all stroke cases.
Blood clots typically form in areas where the arteries have been narrowed or blocked over time by fatty deposits known as plaques. This is known as atherosclerosis.
As we get older, the arteries can naturally narrow but certain things can dangerously accelerate the process.
This include smoking, high blood pressure, obesity, high cholesterol, diabetes and excessive alcohol intake.
Haemorrhagic is when a weakened blood vessel within the skull bursts and bleeds into and around the brain.
The main cause is high blood pressure, which can weaken the arteries in the brain and make them prone to split or rupture.
Strokes are serious medical emergencies that can be life-threatening
The risk of having a stroke is also increased by other factors such as age, family history and ethnicity.
According to the NHS, strokes are more likely to happen in people over the age of 65, although about a quarter of strokes happen in younger people.
If a close relative has had a stroke, your risk is also likely to be higher.
South Asian, African or Caribbean people are also more at risk, as rates of diabetes and high blood pressure are higher in those groups.
“It's not possible to completely prevent strokes because some things that increase your risk of the condition can't be changed,” said the NHS.
“However, it's possible to significantly reduce your risk of having a stroke by making lifestyle changes to avoid problems such as atherosclerosis and high blood pressure.”
People who survive a stroke are often left with long-term problems caused by injury to their brain.
Some people need a long period of rehabilitation before they can recover, while many never fully recover and need support adjusting to living with the effects of their stroke.
Signs and symptoms of a stroke
The signs of a stroke vary from person to person, but they usually begin suddenly and without warning.
Symptoms include a face that’s dropped on one side, and difficulty raising arms.
Speech may become slurred or garbled, or the patient may not be able to talk at all.
Other stroke symptoms include struggling to smile, or having weak or numb limbs.

East Farleigh Village
East Farleigh village is located 2 miles up stream of Maidstone. The village appears in the Doomsday book noted under ‘Ferlaga’ and in the Textus Roffensis (The Book of the Church of Rochester through Bishop Ernulf) as ‘Fearnlega’. This roughly translates as the place or the way of passage, referring to the passage of crossing available at both East and West Farleigh.
The land in this area is very fertile and hence the large abundance of hop and crop plantations.
The land was granted to the church in 961 by Queen Ediva. In the doomsday book it states that:
‘The bishop himself holds Ferlaga. It was taxed at 6 sullings. The arable land is 26 carucates. In demesne there are 4, and 35 villeins, with 56 borderers having30 carucates. There is a church and 3 mills of 27 shillings and 8 pence. There are 8 servants, and 6 fisheries, of 1200 eels, and 4 acres of meadow and wood for the pannage of 115 hogs.’
The land was church owned until the dissolution of the monasteries by king Henry VIII .When it became state owned.

Funnyman Dave Chappelle positioned himself as a cartoon villain in the fight for affordable housing this week in his local municipality of Yellow Springs, Ohio. Yellow Springs is a village that was considering implementing affordable housing units in collaboration with Oberer Homes on a new development project going into the city — until Chappelle and others raised their voices against it in a City Council meeting which resulted in the city choosing to no longer move forward with the units. Chappelle’s objections in particular were reported to have swayed people toward rejecting the affordable housing.
Sadly, campaigning against affordable housing isn’t unusual, and efforts of those who do it can sometimes border on the bizarre. The wealthy residents of Woodside, California (unsuccessfully) tried to dodge affordable housing efforts by trying to claim that the town was a sanctuary for mountain lions. An investigation by ProPublica in 2019 detailed how the state of Connecticut, the gap between rich and poor is wider than anywhere else in the country because of wealthy residents’ constant efforts to wart the building of affordable units. And New York’s tax breaks intended for those who need affordable housing have recently been found to benefit trust fund kids living off their parents’ money as often as they do poorer people in need.
When I was faced with financial hardships several years ago, I experienced homelessness. In an effort to seek out and pay for affordable housing, I took out a predatory loan and got a car to drive for Uber. I drove residents across California to their lavish homes while trying to survive. I saw the gorgeous neighborhoods of dream homes in places like Woodside and Marin, and other wealthy pockets across the state. Seeing those homes made me dream of a better future where one day I could co-exist alongside such affluent residents without suffering their ire.
I eventually found a way to housing through direct socialist efforts in one of these neighborhoods, but we live in a country where the vast majority of folks are not as fortunate. And even in my own city, I’ve noticed a number of familiar faces — many who are extremely affluent — trying to wart the building of affordable housing by donating to groups that campaigned against such development.
Homeless and affordable advocacy groups are modern freedom fighters who want better for their communities and for people who experience the kind of hardship I once did. Their fight for housing rights is a grassroots effort spread through advocacy groups across the country. For Southern Californians, groups like Ktown for All, the LA Can Network, and Culver City for More Homes help to advocate for affordable housing against people like Chappelle. On a national level, organizations such as the National Low Income Housing Coalition do the same. Such groups are small but nimble and mighty. They need your support, care, and help.
I’d like to live to see that dream of affordable, equitable, and accessible housing for all become a reality. I’d like to live in a world with far fewer rich villains bullying those who are without. And while there shouldn’t have to be modern-day Robin Hoods, I’m grateful they exist to fight the real-world villains in this particular story.

Why Boric acid kills roaches?
What is Boric Acid?
Boric acid is a combination of water and boron, which takes the form of powder. Boric acid is a naturally-occurring compound found in fruits and plants. While this mix is highly toxic to cockroaches, it is relatively harmless to humans and pets. You can make boric acid yourself or buy it from local stores and even Amazon.com.
The most prominent drawback to boric acid is that, when misapplied, its effectiveness is greatly diminished and can result in a mess. The powder is best applied to an area where cockroaches are likely to walk through it. Don’t use too much boric powder in one place, as cockroaches will avoid it if they see it. Remember: you’re trying to trick them into walking through it.
How Does Boric Acid Kill Roaches?
As soon as the boric acid powder touches the body of the roach, the tiny particles stick onto it and some of it gets absorbed through the roach’s greasy outer body covering. As the roach preens and cleans its body it will also ingest some of the powder. The mineral and crystalline qualities of the boric acid then begin to damage the exoskeleton of the roach from the outside, and cause dehydration from the inside. Once they have been affected by the boric acid, cockroaches will start to behave abnormally in that they will come out into the daylight in exposed areas, rather than keeping to darkened places and staying against the walls.
How Long Will it Take to Get Rid of Roaches With Boric Acid?
After an adult roach has come into contact with boric acid it would take approximately seventy-two hours for it to die. Nymphs and juveniles would usually die in a shorter time, within about twenty-four to forty-eight hours. The roaches will return to their nesting areas and carry the powder with them thus infecting others. Roaches also tend to be cannibalistic, so they will feed on their dead, thus spreading the toxic effect further. Boric acid is deadly for all types, sizes and ages of cockroach, regardless of the species with which you dealing. This is what makes boric acid for roaches one of the most effective methods of elimination.
How to use boric acid to create and and termite traps
Boric acid can effectively kill ants. Simply combine 1/8 teaspoons of powdered boric acid with 1/2 teaspoon of honey, pour the concoction into a few bottle caps, then place the caps in the path of where you’ve been seeing ants. Ants will bring this toxic mixture back to their nest and spread it around the colony, effectively killing many ants. Be sure to retrieve the boric acid ant traps afterwards and carefully wipe down the area where they were left.
To get rid of termites using boric acid, mix four tablespoons of grape jelly, three tablespoons of canned cat food, and one tablespoon of boric acid for a quick and effective termite solution. Place a pinch of this recipe into any area you think termites might be nesting — once again, preferably in a small container such as a bottle cap that allows for easy cleanup. Hopefully, the workers will bring this mixture to feed the queen and offspring (much like ants), and the boric acid will go to work.
How to Make a Boric Acid Spray
Boric acid is a naturally occurring chemical compound containing the element boron. It is found in soil, plants, rocks and water. This versatile compound offers a host of home and garden uses, including as an insecticide, as a weedkiller and in household mold remediation. Boric acid is available for purchase in a crystalline powder form, and it may be mixed into a solution for simple application. Boric acid in powder or liquid form is a toxic substance for humans and pets when ingested, inhaled or absorbed through the skin, and it always should be handled with care.
- Mix boric acid powder, sugar and water to create a boric acid insecticide spray. Use 2 tablespoons of boric acid and 2 cups of sugar for every 1 cup of water. The sugar will attract insect pests, including ants and cockroaches, while the soluble boric acid will kill them. Wear protective gloves each time you mix the boric acid solution because it is toxic.
- Dissolve boric acid powder in warm water to make your own weedkiller spray. Put on protective gloves. Mix 10 ounces of boric acid powder into 1/2 cup of warm water, and stir the mixture until all the powder is dissolved. Dilute the mixture in 2 1/2 gallons of water to kill creeping charlie (Glechoma hederacea) and other common weeds
- Combine 1 cup of boric acid powder with 1 gallon of water, while wearing protective gloves, to create a boric acid spray to remove mold from your home. Wear protective gloves, safety glasses and a respirator when in close proximity to mold spores.
Heavy Infestation Help
- Double the effort by combining 50/50 boric acid and brown sugar then pour the mixture in a thick line around the entire room and entrance ways. The roaches will get the stuff on their bodies and carry it back to the nest. Once there is no trace of the pest left (usually within the month), vacuum up the powder.
- Sprinkling Diatomaceous Earth is another good option. It’s a natural insecticide that works by scratching an insect’s body as it crawls through it. This powder then absorbs water from the host body and the insect then dies of dehydration. Lightly sprinkle it in hot spots where you notice activity.
Keep the bait away from children and pets. If you have little ones running around, tuck the balls behind furniture, large appliances and inside cupboards

When I got the lawnmower out for the first time this year I had to spend half an hour cleaning the grass that was firmly glued to every surface. Last year was a horrible washout and we eventually had to mow the lawn when it was wet, because it never dried out at all and it would have been knee-high if we hadn't mowed it sometime. The wheels of the mower ground up the spongy, waterlogged soil, damaging the lawn. The wet grass didn't cut very well, especially the tough stalks which had developed in the long period between mowing. The soggy grass cuttings stuck to all parts of the lawnmower and were difficult to clean off; eventually we gave up trying. Mowing the lawn in 2007 was a miserable experience.
But last Saturday, ah, that's a different story. I had forgotten the simple pleasure of cutting the lawn with a properly functioning mower on a warm dry day. The hum of the mower, the delicious sharp smell of the cut grass, the birdsong in the distance, the heat of the sun on my back. I felt as though I could have mowed forever. Then sitting down with a cold glass of beer afterwards and surveying a job well done. Heaven must be just like this.
It was during this "surveying" period that I noticed various nasty holes and patches in the lawn. Sam helped me fork out the weeds and moss, prepare the soil surface, and sow some new grass seed to fill the gaps. On Monday he brought home a small scarecrow he had made at school. There was really only one place to put it. Sam's scarecrow stands in the middle of the front lawn, deterring any birds who might want to eat our grass seed before it grows.

Sleep is an important part of our well-being. While we sleep, our muscles are repaired and our energy is restored, making it an essential process to our physical and mental health, as well as our overall productivity and quality of life.
The essential role sleep plays in our health means that sleep deprivation can have serious consequences, both physically and emotionally. Studies have shown that people who experience sleep insufficiency are at a greater risk of developing several diseases, including hypertension, diabetes and certain types of cancer. Additionally, sleep and mood are closely linked: people who suffer from sleep disorders or other sleep-related problems are more likely to develop emotional disorders, depression and anxiety.
Despite the importance of a good night’s sleep, the majority of Americans aren’t getting the rest they need.
There are many causes of sleep deprivation
- Sleep disorders
- Air quality
- Other underlying medical causes
Luckily, if you’re one of the millions of people who find themselves struggling to sleep at night, there are many remedies to help you sleep that don’t interrupt your life or require medication.
Adding a plant to your bedroom is one such natural remedy. Several plants have sleep-promoting properties, like lavender
, which lowers the heart rate and relaxes the mind. The team over at Dromma Bed
created an infographic outlining the 15 best indoor plants for sleep
. Try adding one of the suggested plants to your bedroom to improve your quantity and quality of sleep. See all the sleep-improving plants below.
