Melasma is a skin disorder that is characterized by some dark facial skin appearance with irregular borders. Melasma infections often appear on the face, forehead, lips, and nose. People who have skins that produce higher volume of melanin are believed to be highly predisposed to the infection. Though there are several treatment therapies for the infection , however , dermatologists believed that Laser therapy, IPL { Intense Pulsed light} treatment, and Microdermabrasion are the most effective ways of treating the skin disorder.
Though the exact cause of this infection remains unknown , however certain conditions increase the risk of getting it. Increased production of melanin, extreme exposure to sunlight and inflammation, and conditions such as menopause and pregnancy are also believed to be capable of triggering the disorder. Melasma is more common among women and it is mostly found in those with darker skin tone. Pregnant women who take birth control pills as well as hormone replacement therapies are some of the groups that are most likely to contact the disorder, it is also believed that some genetic factors can also contribute to the development of melasma ,hence if you have a family history of the infection, you may likely contact it.
The Intense Pulsed light treatment{IPL} involved the use of an hand laser material which is passed over the skin surface area to target melanin, it is a form of treatment that is mostly used in treating the epidermal kind of Melasma, and when the laser material is passed over the affected skin surface area, the cells of the melanin structure in the region are energized, and in the processed destroyed. IPL treatment is fast and highly effective. Moisturizing the treated area and using sunscreen is the best possible way to ensure that this treatment is most effective.
Microdermabrasion treatment of melanoma works on the basic principle of improving cell turnover, this ensure that unwanted pigments are rapidly removed from the skin. The process involves the vacuuming of some fine crystals across the affected skin region, the vacuum process is done under high pressure, and in most modern treatment therapies, diamond chips are often included to increase the abrasion process against the skin. Around five microdermabrassion techniques are performed for two to four weeks apart but this depend on the sensitivity or nature of your skin as well as the concentration of the pigment. Some salicylic acids can be included in this therapy to clean out the skin pores while the microdermabrasion processes are going on.

A century-old Christian cross was discovered in Denmark earlier this month by amateur archaeologist Dennis Fabricus Holm in Anslev, Østfyn, according to an article by the Christian Post. Actually, the cross was over a century old, the small, almost perfectly preserved Christian cross was estimated to be 1,100-years-old. On FaceBook, Holm had written that he had gotten off work early one day and decided to go exploring in Anslev with his metal detector when he came across the small cross. At this time, Holm's FB page is set to private but others have posted about his amazing find.
As seen in the photo in the FB post above, and the video, the cross includes an intricate design of gold beading and shows a figure on a cross. A similar figure was found in Sweden, which is also shown in the FB post. Historians say that the cross was most likely worn by a Viking woman who had converted to Christianity. Experts believe the cross predates the time Christianity first appeared in Denmark. An article posted in The Local said that Holm had spoken to national broadcaster DR, about finding the cross and told them, "I finished work early last Friday, so I decided to spend a couple of hours searching with my metal detector."
"Suddenly I hit upon something. Ever since I turned over the clump of earth and saw the cross, I've been unable to think of anything else."
RT @theblaze: What this cross says about the spread of Christianity in Europe:https://t.co/CxoIvujoUC pic.twitter.com/3jOXRY9gVU— Stand Strong (@Keene44) March 20, 2016
The Local also reported that Malene Refshauge Beck, an archaeologist with East Funen Museums (Østfyns Museer) also told the broadcaster that she agreed that the necklace is likely to prove to be a memorable discovery.
"This is a sensational find that dates from the first half of the 10th century BCE," Beck told DR. Beck also mentioned the nearly identical figure shown in the FB post as well. Beck said that the discovery of the cross might result in the date Danes were believed to have become Christian to be reconsidered and that the wearer was most likely Christian.
"The person who wore it would undoubtedly have adhered to the Christian faith."
The Local article mentioned that Beck also said that this new discovery was, by far, the most well-preserved and clear, as opposed to other pieces and fragments of jewelry that had been discovered in the past. The century-old cross also predates the Jelling Stone, a giant carved rune stone from the year 965 that is supposedly the "earliest Danish representation of Jesus on the cross."
An article from IB Times described the century-old cross as being small — it was 4.1 centimeters tall. The front side is a figure that presumably depicts Jesus, and the back of the cross is smooth. IBT mentioned other artifacts found in Denmark from the same era that resembled hammers, most likely inspired by the hammer of the god Thor. Thor, a Norse god, was depicted as wielding a hammer and was thought to control thunder and lightning.
A 1,000-year-old Christian cross was discovered in Denmark this week, a find that suggests the country's... https://t.co/Is7XoKbd2G— Randy Bell (@RandyMBell) March 20, 2016
Christian missionaries tried to convert the Danes for centuries, according to IBT, and the Vikings supposedly resisted their attempts. Because of Christian trading, Danes mostly adopted Christianity by 1050 CE, which was the end of the Viking era, according to the IBT article. The century-old Christian cross discovered by Holm seems to prove that Christianity was accepted in Denmark before this period.
The FB post further quoted Ms. Beck, she said that "The figure can therefore help to advance the time when one considers that the Danes really were Christians."
"In recent years there has been more and more signs that Christianity was widespread earlier than previously thought – and here [is] the clearest evidence so far."
Det unikke smykkefund på Østfyn har spredt sig til udenlandske nyhedsmedier https://t.co/mv5xFUQRjk pic.twitter.com/Ri29WG6Src— TV 2/FYN (@tv2fyn) March 18, 2016
Holm was evidently excited about the discovery, he told TV2/Fyn that he had hardly slept and went on to say how overwhelming the discovery was.
"It has been very overwhelming. I have not yet grasped that find's influence on Denmark's history. It is hard to comprehend."

Meet the Team
The unexpected election is upon us. Today, across the UK, local councils will be sending out postal votes for the European elections on Thursday 23rd May, an election the Prime Minister had promised the country we would not be taking part in.
Depending on the final turn out, this could mean that by the weekend, half the votes in the 2019 European elections will have been cast. For an election that two months ago wasn't happening this is a quick turnaround in events.
Last month I was packing up my office in Brussels and contemplating redundancy, this month I'm campaigning to be re-elected and wondering if I won't be redundant after all. It's a topsy-turvy existence that results in one feeling rather discombobulated.
By way of an experiment, you too can experience discombobulation by trying to follow the explanation, set out below, of the voting system used in the majority of EU countries, including the UK, to elect MEPs.
The system is known as the d'Hondt system and is named after a 19th century Belgian lawyer and mathematician by the name of Victor d'Hondt.
It is one of the many forms of voting classified as proportional representation (PR).
It works by dividing the country into 11 electoral regions: nine in England, plus Scotland and Wales.
Parties vying for election submit a list of candidates to the electorate in each region.
The North East is the smallest of the English regions and we have only three MEPs to represent us, unlike London and the North West, which both have eight, and Yorkshire which has six.
I'm one of Labour's three listed candidates and six other parties are also standing in our region, namely: the Conservatives, Liberal Democrats, Change UK, Brexit Party, UKIP and Greens.
The ballot paper will list the seven parties showing the party name, logo and list of candidates. The voter selects one party only with a cross. There is no second preference as in the recent North of Tyne mayoral election.
Voters, therefore, get to see which candidates will be elected but they can't change the order of those candidates. For example, if someone really dislikes the top name on a party's list but likes the second name then, they are still forced to choose between voting for that party or not. They can't say 'I want to vote for party X but I don't want the top name and instead prefer someone lower on that list'.
Polling day in the UK will be on Thursday 23rd May, but all other EU countries will vote slightly later on Saturday 25th or Sunday 26th. Consequently, the UK doesn't count its votes until all the polling stations have closed on Sunday night in the rest of the EU.
This means UK candidates have to wait a full three days before they know the outcome of their endeavours. Believe me, this is a long wait!
If the voting system was first past the post, as with the election of MPs to Westminster, the votes would be counted and the person with the most would then be elected, simple. Not so under d'Hondt. Instead, the votes are counted and the party with the most votes wins a seat for the candidate at the top of its list.
As the North East has three seats, we move on to a second round in which the winning party's vote is divided by two, and whichever party comes out on top in the re-ordered results wins a seat for their top candidate.
The process repeats itself, with the original vote of the winning party in each round being divided by one plus their running total of MEPs, until all three seats for the region have been taken.
Are you feeling discombobulated now?
As with all PR systems it ensures that you cannot, say, win 70% of the seats with only 30% of the vote, yet it is also a form of PR that sets a high threshold for smaller parties to win seats, especially in the North East region where only three seats are allocated. It is possible for quite a lot of votes to be 'wasted' by going to parties who do not quite reach the threshold for getting one seat.
As a result, tactical voting to pump up the support of another party can make sense just as it does in first past the post. The logic that tactical voting can help one party past the post still applies. It's just a bit more complicated to work out what tactical voting option might work best, which dear reader is where you come in!

Lash Identification!
helpron posted a topic in Makeup & NailsHey! I need help identifying these lashes I know its unrealistic for me to find them but i figured why not give it a try! sorry for the ugly pics lol! only ones i have of them i bought them back in January from a WINNERS store in Ottawa ON! They were some of the nicest falsies i have ever worn, and i miss them terribly. They lasted about a month of continuous wearing. I forgot the brand name but i know it was in a black packaging and the lashes were in a clear holder. I think the packaging was similar to EYLURES LUXE but I'm not totally sure. i just know it a black box! the lashes definitely looked more dramatic in the packaging then on my eyes. I hope someone can help, or maybe even recommend a similar look!? thanks guys!

A "Game-Changer"
Marquette made waves this past May when the school announced it will be implementing a portable and online curriculum application for teachers, students and parents beginning in the fall semester 2018. The curriculum "Pack", which has been developed in partnership with Lourdes Global Educational Services, Skyepack Instructional Design Services and Marquette Catholic High School will afford users access to an online curriculum application that includes all courses required for graduation at the school.
The online curriculum is the next step in integrating a unique and seamless 1:1 learning platform at Marquette. All course objectives, essential learnings, State of Indiana Standards, student and teacher learning resources, pacing guides, assessments and even enrichment activities will be available to teachers, students and parents anytime and anywhere. Marquette's teachers have been working in collaboration with Skyepack Instructional Design and Lourdes Global educational Services to customize instructional text, video, audio, images, and interactive presentations to facilitate the transfer of knowledge. The curriculum application will provide a web-based and mobile platform designed for ease of use by instructors and students.
"The collaborative curriculum work on this project has been a deeply professional and enriching experience for all involved. Once again, Marquette has stayed true to its belief in challenging the traditional way of learning. It is hoped the digitally-rich, streamlined, structured and framed curriculum will allow everyone enhanced learning opportunities as the curriculum "Pack" addresses the need for varied instructional approaches to address a myriad of student learning styles and 21st-century technology skills," President James White stated.
25 courses will be developed and available beginning in the fall of 2018. The all-inclusive "pack" will include all courses taught at the school by Fall 2019. Teachers will continually update and revise the courses packages in weekly collegial discussions. The access to such rich teaching and learning resources will allow teachers to focus more on learning, assessment, and feedback rather than traditional planning and grading.
"As many high schools are trapped to focused on attendance, behavior modification, and standardized assessments, Marquette has made a serious commitment to make student learning a priority," White commented.
He continued, "Marquette's curriculum project will set the stage for its future ventures in offering online courses and degree programs. The development of the course "packs" is a compliment to the school's 1:1 IPad technology platform implemented in 2017."

Today we are going to review the Primos Truth Cam 35.
It is interesting how some trail camera models stand the test of time and become ultimate favorites among the users.
Primos Truth Cam 35 Features:
- 3-megapixel image ratio
- records max 60-second video clips
- Flash of 35 IR LEDs with range up to 40ft
- Trigger speed approx 1.5 s (0.3 if the camera is not in sleep mode), recovery time 10 seconds.
- Multi-shot mode
- programmable picture delay 1 second, 1 minute or 30 minutes
- 6V external power jack
- Backlit LCD screen helps in setting up the camera
- images tagged with time, date, temperature and moon phase info
- supports SD memory cards up to 8GB
- ¼" -20 socket for tripods and tree mounts
- powered by 4 D-cell
- Python cable lock compatible
- size 8.75″ x 6.6″ x 2.9″
- 1-year warranty
This is exactly what happened to Primos Truth Cam 35. Already upon the introduction of Primos Truth Cam 35, many people rushed in the market to buy it.
Primos Truth Cam 35 may well be the best selling trail camera of all time. Almost every online store selling trail cameras still has this model in their selection.
Typically the price range is from $77 up to $120. In every offer that you will encounter out there, the 1-year warranty period is included.
Build and design
Primos Truth Cam 35 comes with quality casing perfect for every condition. Durable hook strap ensures that the camera will be safe and secured when you carry it outdoors.
What is also a big benefit is this camera's durable construction.
Primos knows how to make trail cameras that are really simple to use. Truth Cam 35 is no exception.
The product is cheap, easy to use and produces good quality photos. And exactly for those reasons, this same model can still be found among the best selling trail cameras for example at Amazon.com.
The camera offers you daytime and night time photos with ok quality. You can see small details quite clearly at least in the daytime shots so in that sense the cameras do a nice job for a 3MP camera.
The infrared flash is not very powerful, although it consists of 35 LEDs
The camera uses D-cell batteries, which is quite "old school" nowadays and really not the best option.
- One of the best features of Primos Truth Cam 35 is the price. It truly belongs to the list of the cheap trail cameras and offers great value for your money.
- The price is definitely lower compared to many other trail camera models, but in addition to that, Primos 35 really performs well.
- Primos Truth Cam 35 is rather big compared to competing models out there.
- .A small number of users have also reported having technical problems with SD memory or some software issues and thus needed to return the camera under warranty.
- And let's face it. This is an old model and not very feature-rich when compared to new models at the same price range. (Though there is also a newer model of Primos Truth Cam 35 called Primos Truth Cam ULTRA 35 on the market. You can check its review in here.)
There is no doubt that when compared to its price Primos Truth Cam 35 offers you very good value and basic line of features.
It is surprising that this trail camera model still competes with other more expensive and newer trail camera models out there because of low price and good design.
If you are looking for a simple basic trail camera that has proven to work, this is a camera for you.

from my foray into the land of blog.....tonight's dinner!!! I could have sworn that while I did some playing around here, I didn't turn my back on the oven for THAT long. An "oh no" and a swift retrieval later, and there I was handing over the burnt offering on a plate to Jed. I mumbled a quick "sorry darling"...he quietly said "that's alright Mum"....but the look on his little face told a whole other story.....mmmmm.....maybe he can see a few more of the same on the horizon!!
Oh well, he can have an extra big dessert tonight. That'll cheer him up....and right all wrongs!
That's my little one in a happier moment.....
While I'm here, I'll add a little more to today's events. Having worked all weekend on writing up new patterns, it was a blessed relief to get a call from my good friends Sharon and Cheryl confirming that YES we could all manage to get together for lunch today. We've been making plans every Friday for the last month. Each week, something crops up for one of us and we have to postpone to the next week. In desperation after another failed Friday last week, Cheryl (bright little spark that she is!) proposed that we make it a Monday instead.
So we met at Jeanette's cafe at the beautiful Danish Flower Art Complex here in Highfields, and settled down to a big catch-up on news, a few stories and a whole lot of laughs. There was only one other table of ladies seated near us. They were very quiet.....think they may have been eavesdropping!! We all enjoyed a lovely fresh healthy salad lunch, followed by sinfully wicked desserts....yum....Jeanette is famous for her sweets.
How quickly a couple of hours can pass when you're in the company of good friends, and I'm truly blessed with the friends I have. In hindsight now, I'm really glad I had such a lovely lunch....cos dinner was truly dismal....even more burnt than it looked!!!
mmmm.....think I'm really going to enjoy this blogging thingo....I'll just try not to do any around dinner time!!
PS Trio of Cushions will be released as a pattern 17th November in Melbourne.....

Gustavus Adolphus College Assistant Professor of Geology and Environmental Studies Laura Triplett has been awarded a grant totaling more than $137,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to conduct biogeochemical research over the next three years. The grant was awarded through the Earth Sciences division of NSF, with a particular focus on research at an undergraduate institution.
"My research will evaluate the role of riverbank vegetation in the transfer of silicon, a natural element, from land to sea via rivers," Triplett said. "Rivers are the primary source of silicon to coastal ocean ecosystems, where it is an important nutrient for some algae and other organisms at the base of the food chain. However, recent human activities have decreased the amount of silicon flowing down rivers, and one issue that has not yet been studied is whether vegetation change within river channels – and, in particular, the introduction of invasive species – has also decreased how much silicon reaches coastal oceans."
Dr. Triplett will begin the work this summer with her collaborators, Dr. Karin Kettenring from Utah State University and Dr. Michal Tal from the University of Aix-Marseille in France, along with two Gustavus student researchers, Zach Wagner '13 and Lance Erickson '14. The group will study silicon dynamics in Phragmites australis, an invasive species of grass wreaking havoc on the Platte River in Nebraska.
The NSF is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 to promote the progress of science; to advance national health, prosperity, and welfare; and to secure the national defense. With an annual budget of about $6.9 billion, it is the funding source for approximately 20 percent of all federally supported basic research conducted by America's colleges and universities.

GBTEC expands into the Asia Pacific market
(PresseBox) - With a newly found subsidiary in Brisbane, Australia, GBTEC expands into the Asia Pacific market. The German company offers business process management and governance, risk, and compliance solutions. GBTEC successfully starts its expansion into the APAC region by winning customers like the Bank of Queensland.
Brisbane, September 16, 2019 - The German specialist for business process management (BPM), GBTEC Software + Consulting AG, announces the launch of its subsidiary in Brisbane. On September 4, Daniel Rayner, Managing Director of GBTEC Australia, met with the founder and CEO of GBTEC, Gregor Greinke, in the company?s headquarters in Bochum, Germany, to initiate the venture.
The main software of GBTEC, the BPM suite BIC Cloud, is a modern solution for the modeling, analysis, optimization and automation of business processes. Early on, the company unlocked the potential of cloud technology for its software solutions. In 2018, GBTEC Software + Consulting was named by Gartner as a Representative Vendor in the ?Market Guide for Enterprise Business Process Analysis? (1) for the second consecutive year.
The success of GBTEC and its software solutions is confirmed by over 700 customers from various sectors. Customers include world-renowned corporations such as Mitsubishi and Vodafone, Hidden Champions such as Osram, as well as various federal ministries and universities. For the beginning expansion, GBTEC has identified the APAC region as a key market for further growth. With the new subsidiary in Australia, the company aims for a steady growth of regional sales.
Daniel Rayner is motivated to establish the BPM specialist as market leader in his home country. He says: ?Besides the acquisition of new customers, I continuously enhance the existing network in Australia and further develop partner cooperations. These activities enabled us to win the Bank of Queensland as one of the first customers here. This is the foundation for our successful expansion and allows us to establish GBTEC as leading vendor of BPM software in this region."
Gregor Greinke highlights the importance of local offices for the organic growth of his company: ?We identified the region Asia-Pacific as a BPM market with strong growth, offering a multitude of opportunities for our software solutions. Process management is already deeply embedded in many sectors. The founding of our Australian subsidiary is the logical step towards the further internationalization of GBTEC. With Daniel Rayner, we found a reliable partner who shares my drive and enthusiasm for business process management."

Surgery Patients Group
Dec 10th, 2011 by Web Master
The Staunton and Corse Surgery Patient Group
The group was formed in 2006 to replace the role of the community representatives in participating in discussions of the results of the annual Patient Survey.
Eight volunteers were recruited through advertisements in local Parish magazines, and with guidance from the National Association of Patient Participation (NAPP) agreed a Mission Statement together with aims for the first year.
- To represent the practise population and act as a link between patients and staff, providing two-way communication.
- To support the Practise in continuing to improve the service to patients.
- In order to further communication between patients and surgery staff, to produce a quarterly Patient Group Newsletter.
- To be involved in all further yearly discussions on the Patient Survey results, and suggest ideas for actions following these discussions.
The Purpose and Aims of the group are reviewed annually.
The group continues to produce quarterly newsletters and has relayed patient's comments received from a Suggestion box, to the surgery staff. Actions taken in response to suggestions are published regularly in the newsletters.
The Group has become an affiliated member of NAPP (National Association of Patient Participation) and has sent delegates to the NAPP Annual Conference and AGM. It continues to publicise Health Promotion initiatives on behalf of the surgery, and members attend the annual 'flu clinics to further this aim.
Membership of the committee is open to patients registered with Staunton Surgery, plus anyone concerned with the day-to-day work and administration of the surgery, if not a registered patient. The committee aims to include representatives from each of the villages in the practise area.
Meetings are held quarterly at the surgery and more informal meetings are held in member's houses approximately every 4/5 weeks.
New volunteers are invited to leave their names and contact details in the Suggestion Box in the surgery lobby. The group would welcome more male volunteers to redress the current imbalance among committee members. Further information can be obtained by contacting any committee member

This must be one of the most frustrating things about fiber base paper. It comes out of the wash tank like a limp rag and when it is drying it curls up like corrugated plastic but there is no getting away from the fact that photographs on fiber base paper have that something extra and it is worth the trouble in making sure they are flat.
Over the years I have used the cartridge paper and heavy books route to keeping my prints flat. I could use a special machine that dry's the prints using heat but I prefer the slower air dried method.
It wasnt until Dave Miller the founder of the film and darkroom users forum posted an article on his method for ensuring they dry flat, that life with FB paper has become so much easier. A big thank you to Dave for that article, without it I would still be using heavy books and would not be writing this post with my own refinement to his excellent method. My adaptation allows you to print right up to the edge with out trimming.
Equipment needed:
- A pane of glass large enough to cope with your largest print size.
- Adhesive brown paper tap that is made sticky by water. Available from most art suppliers.
- Scissors.
- Metal rule/ straight edge.
- Cartridge/ blotting paper.
- Sponge.
- Print squeege or leather.
My adaptation:
First of all you will need to remove any excess water from the print by hanging it for a short while and/or use a leather to dab it away.
- Place on the glass.
- Then place the photograph picture side down on the blotting paper.
- Cut to length a strip of gummed brown adhesive tap.
- Pull the tape tight and stick half the width on to the back of the print and smooth out. Remember that the print will still be damp so the tape will not need to be wetted.
- Do the same for the other three sides. Once done turn the print over so it is picture side up.
- Pull the tape tight and stick to the tape at the top of the print half on and half off.
- Wipe the damp sponge across the glass (again do not make wet as the tape will slide across the glass) and stick down.
- Lift the print and place the blotting paper under the print and smooth down.
- Next cut another length of tape for the bottom and do as before but once the tape is stuck to the tape and the glass is damp pull the print tight and stick down. This slight tension will keep the print flat.
- Do the same for the sides.
- To remove the prints once they are dry place a metal rule/straight edge along the side of the print and cut along all the sides with a craft knife. This will release the print perfectly flat.
|Used craft knife to free picture from glass
To remove the tape from the glass it can be re-wetted and scraped off or place the glass in a dish of water to soak for about five to ten minutes.It will lift off with ease.

Gibson Super 400 ( 1934 - 1955 )
Acoustic Archtop Guitar
One of the finest and most prestigious guitar gibson ever made was introduced in 1923 and was called the gibson L-5 ,
it was the earliest archtop guitar with f-holes and therefore considered the backbone of not only for their own line of archtop guitars but pretty much all archtop guitars you see on the market today .
It is fair to say that the l-5 is probably the worlds' most important guitar historically . It was a favorite amongst many professional musicians then , and a favorite ever since .
In 1934 gibson famoused the music world over with another extraordinary guitar which was thelargest and most expensive archtop guitar ever produced by any manufacturer or company.
This guitar was called the gibson super 400,its grand auditorium body shape shares the same characteristics like the Orville Gibson Style-O model of 1902 .
In 1934 the gibson super 400 had an 18" wide body , an adjustable bridge with triangular designs , it was assembled with figured maple wood back and sides , fitted with a Y shaped tailpiece , had triple bound f-holes , brown pearloid pickguards , ebony fingerboard with pointed ends ,
had double split-block fingerboard inlays , diamond peghead inlays , open back grover tuners , gold plated hardware, most of them had the model name engraved on the heel cap , and were made in brown sunburst finishes .
Important : The very first super 400 batches had " Super L-5 " engraved on the truss rod cover and " Deluxe L-5 model " written on the label . These guitars are extremely rare and are known today as the "super 400 intro models" or " Super L-5 Deluxe " .
In 1939 the gibson super 400 P ( premier ) originated , it had a single rounded cutaway , kluson tuners with amber tulip-shaped buttons , were made in sunburst finishes , natural finishes were also available and named ( Super 400 PN ) .
In 1940 gibson introduced the super 400 N which was a natural finish version of the original super 400 .
In 1941 production halted and was resumed after world war 2 in 1948 , the original super 400 and 400N stayed the same , but the 400p was renamed the gibson super 400 C ( C for cutaway ) .
In 1951 gibson introduced an electric version of the 400c and named it the super 400 CES , it was equipped with 2 p-90 pickups and were the first gibson electric guitars to feature the classic 2 pickup circuitry ( 2 volumes , 2 tones , and a 3 way switch for pickup combination ) , this was another turning point for gibson as electric guitar amplification evolved after world war 2 .
In 1952 a natural finish version of the 400 CES was available and named the 400 CESN ( N for natural )
In 1955 all super 400 non cutaway guitars were discontinued ( super 400 and 400N ) , the super 400 c and the super 400 CESN was discontinued in 1982 and the super 400 CES was discontinued in 1987 .
Some reissues and different versions were made later on through out the 90s as historic collection guitars or custom shop super 400 guitars .

In the description at the top of the page you state the 1934 Gibson Super400 had an 18" lower bout. This incorrect. In the earliest few years the Super 400 had a 17" lower bout, which was extended to 18" in 1939ReplyDelete

I am selling my father-in-laws 1939 Gibson Super 400. He was a jazz musician his entire life starting in Kansas City and including Chicago, LA, Las Vegas and finally Charleston (where he was in a band until his death at the age of 88). He also played jazz violin and sang. This has a lot of sentimental value, but it would be an honor to find a musician who would play and appreciate it. Do you have any interest in buying it or know of anyone? Thanks for your kind consideration. email@example.com

From swaddling and soothing to bathing and breastfeeding, there's a lot to learn when it comes having your first baby. (That's why I include so many baby care tips and address new parent questions in The Baby Nurse Bible!) But it's always super helpful to have a visual guide as well. So in the video below I demonstrate how to give your baby a bath. It may take you a few sessions to get comfortable but in no time, it'll be second nature and a ton of fun too!
As always, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me or sign up for a Boston-area baby care class.

So um…I did say I would only choose THREE sims, but I got a grand total of five sims and I couldn't decide which two sims NOT to take so I came up with a wondrous solution…
I've decided to use all five!
First off, thanks a bunch to y'all how participated! They all look gorgeous! I'm excited to use these sims and show them off in the story.
Second off, some of your bios wouldn't actually fit in this story's world, so I've tweaked them all a bit to fit the story. While keeping as close as possible to the original story. (no I will not be revealing what these tweaks are because that mean giving away spoilers)
Without further ado here are the five sims!
Make sure to keep a look out for them in the story 😀

New York, NY (November 11, 2013): Each year, the Vivian Leitner Global South LL.M. Scholars Program brings international lawyers and jurists with interests and expertise in international human rights law to Fordham Law School's community. This year's scholars, are three judges from Ghana and a lawyer from China. Ali Baba Abature (Ghana), Abena Adjin-Doku (Ghana), Wei Liu (China), and Barbara Tetteh-Charway (Ghana), were selected following a rigorous application process.
The Scholars profiled below, work with faculty, fellows, and staff at the Leitner Center on research, writing, and scholarship in international human rights law while persuing an LL.M. in International Law and Justice at Fordham Law School.
The Scholars are fully integrated in the law school community through projects and events at the Leitner Center and Fordham Law School. They share their perspectives and experiences with the Law School academic community and contribute to diversity in the Fordham student body.
The Vivian Leitner Scholars program is made possible through a generous donation from James Leitner (JD) and is named to honor the memory of Vivian Leitner, who passed away in 2010. An intrepid traveler, student of many cultures, and a fierce critic of injustice wherever she found it, Vivian Leitner was born in Turkey and immigrated to the US in 1950. Always grateful for the opportunities she found in the U.S. to advance her education and her work, this program in her memory seeks to create similar opportunities for others.
The program, renamed the Vivian Leitner Program in 2011, has provided scholarships and stipends to students from the global south since 2007. Profiles of our past LL.M. students may be found here, and further information about the program can be found here.
Ali Baba Abature joins the Leitner Center from Ghana, where he obtained a law degree from Ghana Law School in 2007 and a Bachelor's degree in Sociology and Political Science from the University of Ghana (Legon) in 1999. Ali was recently appointed to the Circuit Court, and after completing his LL.M. at Fordham, he expects to adjudicate on human rights cases at the Circuit Court level in Ghana.
Ali previously presided over the Family, Matrimonial, and Juvenile Court, where he adjudicated on issues relating to the rights of children, spouses and juveniles, and served as the Deputy Director of Administration in the Ghana Civil Service.
Abena Adjin-Doku also comes to the Law School from Ghana, where she obtained her law degree from the Ghana School of Law in 2007. Abena was recently appointed to the Circuit Court. She was one of five female judges who participated in the Jurists in Residents Program, a five week training and shadowing program sponsored by the Virtue Foundation in New York.
Prior to this, Abena worked on access to justice issues in the Ghanaian prison system, served as a Family Tribunal Chairperson on child custody cases, and was a High Court Registrar with the Judicial Service.
Wei Liu joins us from China, where she earned a law degree from Liaoning University. She is a Beijing-based human rights lawyer who focuses on freedom of religion, speech and association. In April 2010, the Chinese government disbarred her for her human rights work.
In the face of immense resistance and backlash from the Chinese government, Wei has provided legal services to Tibetans, worked to expose corruption and racketeering in the government, and helped promote a general election campaign for the Beijing's Lawyers' Association Congress.
Barbara Tetteh-Charway is a Justice of the High Court in Ghana and obtained a law degree from the University of Ghana. Before this, she adjudicated criminal and civil cases as a Circuit Court judge, prosecuted several high profile drug and child abuse cases, served as a State Prosecutor and was appointed by former President John Evans Atta Mills as Legal Counsel to the Ghana@50 Commission of Enquiry, which was set up to investigate allegations of misappropriation of state funds.

You come around a corner, heading toward an intersection. You don't have a stop sign, but the other street does. A car pulls up to the sign and stops. You think the driver saw you, and you take your eyes off of that car.
Should drivers wear helmets?
We know that helmets save lives. If you talk to safety experts about motorcyclists and traditional cyclists, they'll tell you that every single one should have a helmet on. They'll tell you that it doesn't matter what the law says -- many states do not require helmets -- because the evidence shows that helmets increase safety, decrease death rates and a lower brain injury rate.

Instead of claiming a connection having a specific race or vehicle as others do - with different credibility - Tissot replica have reinterpreted the style of their PR516 of 1965, the main one using the distinctive, perforated steel bracelet.

A nice mid-blue accent seems in three places: the seconds hands, the "516" identification, along with a thin ring underneath the bezel. Other colours - including red, frequently connected with speed - appear elsewhere within the PRS 516 range.

Why are Foxtails a Danger to Your Pet?
Foxtails… The name conjures up images of soft, fluffy plants that seem pretty harmless, right? Actually, wrong! Foxtails, rye grass, gamma grass, cheatgrass and other common members of this plant family are well known for the injuries they can inflict on pets. So, what are these formidable foes and why should your pet avoid them in the great outdoors?
Redwood Veterinary Hospital is here to help!
What are Foxtails?
Foxtails are a grass-like plant (considered a weed by many) in the genus Hordeum. As its name implies, foxtails have a fuzzy end that resembles a fox tail. This genus also includes other spikelets, like cheatgrass, barley, millet, and rye. These grasses contain a tiny barb or awn that allows them to attach to anything going by, including your pet. This mechanism also contains an enzyme that helps the awn propagate by burrowing into its host.
What Does This Mean for Your Pet?
Just like any passerby, your pet can become an unwitting carrier of these stubborn awns. Over time, awns can embed themselves in the skin and become infected. In some cases, they can embed in a pet's urethra, nostril, eye, ears, digestive tract, or other highly sensitive areas. If left untreated, the infection can cause abscess, which has resulted in death in rare cases.
While this all sounds fairly scary, there are ways to protect your pet from foxtails. But first, let's review the symptoms of a foxtail infection:
- Chewing or licking at paws, between toes, or other sensitive areas
- Head shaking, scratching at ears
- Irritated, red eye
- Coughing, gagging
- Excessive sneezing
- Lumps on the skin
- Discharge from ears
- Limping
- Pus or swelling
While some of these symptoms may apply to other conditions, it's best to bring your pet in to see us either way.
Protecting Your Pet From Foxtails
While it's next to impossible to keep an outdoor-loving dog or free-spirited feline 100% protected from outside dangers (even indoor pets are prone to parasites), it's important to be prepared.
To keep your pet foxtail-free, avoid places where these grasses grow, such as open fields, ditches, along fences, and disturbed lots. Also keep your pet out of bushy areas, as these are breeding grounds for ticks and other pests.
Inspect your pet's skin and coat after being outdoors, and regular grooming is a must to keep your pet healthy all summer long.
If you have any questions about foxtails or other outdoor risks, please give us a call!

Both the technology industry and UK start-ups are crucial in determining the health of the nation's economy, but which holds the key to the economic recovery?
In October, technology experts and entrepreneurs were invited to fight it out in attempt to answer this question as part of the Dell Solutions Tour. It all happened in Twickenham, under the watchful eye of referee Charles Ward from Intellect.
The power of start-ups
Championing the cause for start-ups, entrepreneurs Dan Scarfe from Dot Net Solutions and Chris Book from Bardowl kicked off proceedings. They used some impressive figures to highlight the power of start-ups.
Half a million start-ups set up shop each year and 49 per cent of turnover comes from small companies. What's more, research from the US has demonstrated that existing firms lose one million jobs per year whereas new firms are generating three million each year.
Small businesses need technology
But technology champions Tristan Wilkinson from Intel and James Griffiths from Dell were quick to point out that technology is at the heart of the small business community. They said 99 per cent of start-ups are either building innovations on existing technology or enabling their business growth through efficient use of technology.
While hardware and structured technology sit firmly in the realm of large businesses with the resources needed to develop them, start-ups have the freedom and flexibility to innovate in the service and software space. But as Dan noted: "start-ups can scale fast and fail fast."
We all need technology
Surely technology is an enabler for both small and large businesses alike? Tristan highlighted that we're not even close to breaching the limits of technology.
After all, the power of technology is universal. The mobile device in your pocket has more computing power than was used to put a man on the moon. What's more, technology empowers people to work on their own terms and on the things they're most interested in.
In effect, argued James, it's technology which enables today's small businesses to exist. It's also levelled the playing field between start-ups and larger companies - it's never been easier to get your message out there and alongside the established corporate players.
Perhaps the most fitting conclusion came from referee Charles who noted that this is the classic 'chicken versus egg' argument.
Technology and start-ups go hand-in-hand. Remove technology and you limit start-ups. Remove start-ups and you limit the innovation that is so important for the economy. So, far from fighting it out in the ring, our panel experts fast realised a love-in was more in order.
This is a guest post from Dell Small & Medium Business.

Treacherous Beauty: Water Lilies As Harbingers Of Climate Change
via Cognoscenti, WBUR
"…we kept our fearful distance from these placid green fronds floating near the shore. The pert white flowers erupting like starbursts screamed danger…Water lilies thrive not just in stagnant waters, but in warming ones. And this summer, the hottest on record, they bloomed with abandon."
Julie Wittes Schlack writes of her childhood dread of water lilies as sources of disease and misfortune and her gradual realization of their actual ecological connection with climate change.

"Great community with even better schools!"
Weibel is a really great area to grow up. I grew up with my family in the Weibel neighborhood and probably got to attend some of the best schools in the California education system. The schools that connect the Weibel neighborhoods are unsurpassed. Traffic is always intense because of Paseo Parkway and the interstate. There are plenty of drivers that get lost and somehow end up on the back streets and because of that a lot of houses have fences up to protect their domesticated animals or kids. We had a fence around our yard and I remember my parents talking how a lot of houses were starting to put up fences because of pedestrian/auto accidents. Many of the houses in the area have a similar concept in arrangement. Two-story ranch style with small enclosed yards. Weibel is more than just a neighborhood, it is almost like it's own private community. They have their own churches, police department and post office.

The State, Religion, and Ethnic Politics: Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan
The State, Religion, and Ethnic Politics: Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan
In no region of the world have changes in religion and ethnic identity had a greater impact on political life than in the three countries that are the subject of this book.
In Iran, the Pahlavi state, which for over half a century had sought to build its foundations and claim to legitimacy mainly upon a pre-Islamic Persian heritage, and to strengthen that heritage in relation to the country's myriad linguistic and tribal minorities, collapsed in the face of a mass-based, religiously inspired, and popular revolution. In contrast to its predecessor, the new theocratic state founded by the Islamic clerics is seeking to build its foundations upon an Islamic identity and to eliminate, neutralize, or weaken those who do not closely follow its fundamentalist line or those who choose to adhere to secular or non-Islamic identities.
In neighboring Afghanistan, a Soviet-dominated Afghan state replaced a secular, but weak, tribal-based regime and is promoting a Marxist political ideology as a means of creating greater loyalty to the state. Opposition to the state comes primarily from the tribes and ethnic groups, as well as the urban middle classes, for whom an Islamic identity has served as a rallying point capable of unifying otherwise antagonistic ethnic communities and other groupings.
In Pakistan, one ethnic group, the Bengalis, successfully tore the Pakistani state in two. And now, some decade-and-a-half after the secession of 55 percent of the country's population and a sizable segment of its land, the ruling Punjabi military elite still views the country's non-Punjabi ethnic minorities as a potential threat to the . . .

Earnings Cheat Sheet: Is MercadoLibre (MELI) Still The Next eBay?
MercadoLibre Inc. (NASDAQ: MELI) hosts an e-commerce platform in Latin America at www.mercadolibre.com. The company has operations in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic and Panama. Essentially, it's the Latin American eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY). As such, it also operates its version of PayPal, MercadoPago.
With a $2.7 billion market cap vs. Ebay's $40.2 billion, the company's growth potential is quite clear. Still, in the end, it's all in the execution.
Earnings: 3Q profits of $44.5 million ($0.43/share) vs. 3Q09 profits of $40.2 million.
Revenue: Up 10.6% YoY to $56 million.
Actual vs. Wall St. Expectations: MELI beat EPS estimates of $0.31/share but fell short of revenue expectations of $62.4 million.
Notable Stats: Revenue from items sold grew 30.1% YoY to $10.4 million while revenue from the PayPal-esque MercadoPago grew 120.3% YoY to $1.9 million. In local currencies, these growth rates were 26.5% and 63%, respectively.
Net income grew 90.7% in USD (109.4% in local currencies) to $18.8 million. Net income margins were 33.6% vs. 19.5% in 3Q09.
Did You Hear That: CEO Marcos Galperin noted that, "we are pleased with our strong third quarter results, which once again benefitted from sustained secular trends that continue to drive e-commerce growth in the region. Accordingly, we are confident that our platform of complementary offerings is the right approach. MercadoPago, our payments solution, continues to quickly gain ground as buyers are attracted to our seamless, easy-to-use marketplace, MercadoLibre. Looking ahead, this will be even more relevant as the holidays approach."
Technicals: Shares broke down through their trend-line dating back to July during early-October, taking their 50- and 20-day moving averages with them. After selling off again following their earnings report, shares are trading at 3-month lows. On the positive side, MELI has yet to breach, or even test, its 200-day moving average or its primary trend-line, which dates back to February. A downward break through either of those markers would be a big negative signal for the intermediate term, while a successful test would indicate the opposite.
Commentary: MELI has always been a high-flyer and has never been a stranger to big swings, but the direction of those recent swings (down) are definitely causes for concern. Shares are currently trading at 39X 2011 earnings vs. 23% projected earnings growth, which is not what one would call cheap. Nonetheless, the longer-term growth prospects for what is, for all intents and purposes, the Latin American eBay, cannot be overlooked. If you're interested in going long, waiting for a successful test of the 200-day moving average is probably your best move, as there is never a good reason to try to catch a falling knife.
Disclosure: No holdings in MELI.
