A lot of conditions can cause eyebrow loss, but trichotillomania of the eyebrows can be one of the most difficult to live with and to treat. Trichotillomania can cause hair loss anywhere on the scalp, face, or body. This disorder has been officially recognized only for a short time, and there isn't yet much research about it. Here are the highlights of what we do know.
What is Trichotillomania?
Trichotillomania (or trich) is a hair-pulling disorder marked by a recurrent and irresistible urge to pull out hair despite the negative consequences of the pulling and a desire to stop or cut back.
Common places for pulling are the scalp, eyebrows, and eyelashes, but trich can affect hair anywhere on the body.
People with trich may experience it differently. Some people notice rising tension followed by relief upon pulling, but that's not necessary for the diagnosis. Other folks feel a sensation like a tingling or an itch right before pulling. In some people, hair pulling is focused (deliberate), and in others it's automatic (not consciously done).
For diagnosis and insurance purposes, trich is classified as a psychiatric impulse control disorder, a label which may carry a stigma and make an already tough situation even worse.
Trich usually begins at or soon after puberty, though it can affect younger and older people. More females than males live with the disorder. Some folks have only one occurrence but for others, trich can resolve and then return later. From 1% to 2% of the population experiences trich in any given year.
The most noticeable sign of trichotillomania is one or more bald patches or thinned-out or uneven areas in the hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, or other exposed parts of the body.
Another symptom is pulling or twisting of hair, although some people with trich do this only when they're alone.
Less obvious signs of trich are bald areas on parts of the body usually covered by clothing.
Other symptoms include poor self-image, denial of hair pulling, other acts of self-injury, sadness, depression, and anxiety.
Sometimes people with trich eat some or all of the hair they pull; in this case, bowel obstruction can be a symptom of the disorder.
Causes of trichotillomania are still unknown, but researchers have noticed a higher incidence of trich among people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and folks whose first-degree relative has OCD.
Another theory is that trich is triggered or influenced by hormones.
Other proposed causes include a chemical imbalance in the brain or a genetic predisposition to the disorder. Some scientists believe trich may be a type of self-harm used to relieve stress or a coping mechanism to handle stress.
Research is currently limited, but the most effective intervention for trich is thought to be some combination of habit reversal training, cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and/or medication (often SSRI antidepressants). Many people have used these tools to stop or reduce their hair pulling.
To grow eyebrows back, a person with trichotillomania of the eyebrows should of course do everything possible to leave them alone (much easier said than done!).
Almost as important as not pulling is to be patient (also easier said than done!). A lot of people wonder, How long does it take to grow eyebrows back? Many eyebrow hairs will be starting to come in at three months, but it may take up to nine months for all hairs to grow. In the meantime, using a good eyebrow growth serum or oil can help provide an optimal environment to grow eyebrows back.
In severe cases, trichotillomania of the eyebrows can cause scarring and destruction of the hair follicles. If this happens, the affected hairs won't grow back.
Destruction of follicles can occur anywhere on the body where hair is repeatedly pulled out by the root, but eyebrow hair follicles are known to be especially vulnerable to permanent damage.
There are a variety of treatments available that can give a person with trichotillomania of the eyebrows a more typical appearance and an improved self-image. These include
- conventional cosmetics such as eyebrow pencils and powders
- permanent cosmetics (also known as eyebrow tattooing, microblading, 3-D brows, or semi permanent cosmetics)
- eyebrow extensions (tiny hairs individually attached to existing eyebrows with adhesive)
- false eyebrows (also called fake eyebrows or eyebrow wigs)
- eyebrow transplants (also known as eyebrow restoration)
The best choice depends on a lot of factors, such as a person's age, gender, degree of eyebrow loss, lifestyle, budget, and individual preference. To get a good result with some of these options, it's important for people to have entirely stopped pulling their eyebrows.
Taking Action
Trichotillomania of the eyebrows can be devastating.
The prominent position of eyebrows on the face and the importance of eyebrows in communicating emotions make them key to a person's identity and expression. Trich is difficult to live with no matter where it occurs, but when the eyebrows are affected, it's very hard to avoid unwanted attention.
Many times, because trich is more common in young people, it creates challenges for everyone else in the family.
With the existing medical and cosmetic treatments available, and more options being researched, it's possible for people living with trichotillomania of the eyebrows to make positive changes.
It's also invaluable to get information and support from other people going through the same thing. Here are some groups that can help:

Manoranjan Group all set to venture into FTA Hindi GEC space - nairrk - 08-02-2019
MUMBAI: Creative Channel Advertising and Marketing (Manoranjan Group) is venturing into the Hindi general entertainment space with the launch of Manoranjan Grand.
The free to air (FTA) Hindi GEC will launch on 15th August. The test signal of the channel is already on. The company had received the licence to launch Manoranjan Grand in February.
This will be the third channel from Manoranjan Group which already owns and operates Manoranjan TV (Hindi movie channel) and Manoranjan Movies (Punjabi movie channel).
Creative Channel Advertising and Marketing president Sahib Chopra said that Manoranjan Grand will look to plug in the gap in the FTA market due to the exit pay-TV broadcasters.
Leading networks like Star India, ZEEL, Sony Pictures Networks India, and Viacom18 have converted their FTA Hindi GEC and movie channels to pay in new tariff regime of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI). Currently, there are two leading FTA Hindi GECs Dangal and Big Magic.
"There is a gap in the market which Manoranjan Grand will fulfill. We see space for a new Hindi GEC in the FTA market," Chopra said.
Manoranjan Grand will have two hours of original primetime programming on weekdays and three hours on the weekends. Going forward, this will be increased to 5-6 hours during prime-time and afternoon bands.
The channel will focus on crime, thriller and comedy genres. It will be targeted at rural Hindi speaking markets. The key TG would be female audiences.
Chopra said that the company is in talks with direct to home (DTH) as well as cable TV operators for carrying the channels. "We will also look at DD Free Dish as and when a slot comes up for bidding," he noted.
The company will start monetising once the channel settles down and ratings start coming in. "It will at least 2-3 months to start monetising. We hope to break-even in the third year," Chopra asserted.
Regarding Manoranjan TV and Manoranjan Movies, Chopra said that the two channels have established themselves. Both the channels are FTA and are available on DD Free Dish.

This past weekend i was a busy bee in the kitchen and one of my creations were these divine gluten free almond flour cupcakes. I topped them off with a classic chocolate buttercream frosting and let me tell you something for free…i taste tested way too much of this frosting! I think you can never have enough chocolate cupcake recipes in your repertoire, especially if you're gluten free and find it difficult to find that perfect cupcake recipe.
Let me be honest, i do have my failures in the kitchen and on Saturday, these chocolate cupcakes were the only baked good that actually worked out. I had no plan or ideas of what to bake on the weekend, which is rare for me. So in the morning i woke up and was fixated on the idea of cinnamon rolls. Without a recipe in mind, i headed on over to Pinterest to find a recipe to inspire me. I attempted actual cinnamon rolls and cinnamon roll flavoured muffins. Remember i said earlier that most of my baked goods failed for me? Yep, each cinnamon roll recipe failed, not happy Jan! Hey, we all have our failures, just makes us push harder right? Oh.. and human! After cleaning my massive mess in the kitchen (it always looks like a bomb has gone off when i get into the kitchen), i decided to try again and bake a batch of yummy gluten free chocolate cupcakes.
Now gluten free baking is a science, a science that i have yet to fully understand and figure out. My cinnamon roll muffins were barely edible due to certain gluten free flours just not working. I had to stay away from gluten free all purpose flours for one afternoon. This is when these almond flour cupcakes were born. I found this recipe from The Chalk Board and decided to create a batch of cupcakes out of it. Almond meal was my savour for the day, finally i had a baked good that actually worked! Yippee!! I was going to top them off with a coconut cream based chocolate frosting but… yes you guessed it, it failed! You will have to drag me away from buttercream frosting if you want me to use something other than butter in my frosting, it's just the old school baker in me, bad habits die hard, trust me, I'm working on it. These beauties are:
Gluten free
Now you know that I'm not the perfect baker and i also have my own failures in the kitchen, please trust me when i say these gluten free cupcakes are simply perfect. Easy, tasty, light and fluffy. You will enjoy baking a batch of these glorious chocolate cakes because who doesn't love freshly baked cupcakes? Here is another secret, cupcakes are my most favourite baked good yet my least favourite to actually make, especially the frosting… it's not all sunshine and rainbows in the baking world but it sure has it's perks! Just think of all that quality control (i.e. taste testing) i have to perform after each batch, oh my!

Dragon Ball Super: Broly (2018).
The twentieth film in a franchise over thirty years old has become an incomprehensible box office success. Dragon Ball Super: Broly might be the twentieth in a long line of films, but it's also one of the greatest achievements in a property consisting of 792 episodes across four television shows and innumerable video games and television specials. Based on the manga created by Akira Toriyama, the recent resurgence is a testament to the renewed commitment and quality of the stories being told, and Broly might just be the best one yet.
It comes in the wake of the 2013 and 2015 films Battle of Gods and Resurrection "F", and the now finished series, Dragon Ball Super. As such, Broly becomes the first film to be released under that new show's moniker, which might suggest that its completion could be short term. Super found itself on the end of some harsh and at times warranted criticism, particularly in its early stages when the animation sunk to a franchise low and much time was spent stretching out the events of the aforementioned films for a televised adaptation.
The titular character of the new movie himself is famous among fans of the franchise, but never existed as part of the canon Dragon Ball history. He features as the villain in three older films. All nineteen previous films are not considered canon but rather parallel, disconnected stories that often mimick whatever events are taking place in that period of time in the series proper. We should only hope that Broly remains the same way and isn't adapted for the show's small screen revival. There's little room for improvement here, because this is quite easily the best tale that Toriyama has told in this world since the end of Z.
Broly's popularity always baffled me a little. While his existence as a third surviving member of the extra-terrestrial Saiyan race that main characters Goku and Vegeta belong to has potential, he was only ever used as a hulking monster to torment and torture the heroes of the show. Until now. Any story of this length needs to continue to grow both its characters and its world, and Super managed to do this by its conclusion. Then comes Broly, which under Toriyama's guidance feels more like a beginning, the opening of a new door for the franchise.
The storytelling of Dragon Ball is not perfect; it's often repetitive, riddled with inconsistencies, and at times poorly paced. And yet there's something alluring about it. Perhaps its the added nostalgia, but Broly achieves a few things in its path to success. Quite unexpectedly, it's a rather patiently paced film for its first half, spending a huge amount of time set years prior to events that would take place later on. This makes for difficult viewing for the uninitiated. There's plenty of satisfying details and cameos featuring long dead characters to satiate a certain craving, but the entire thing (which is far too long to be bracketed as a prologue) adds immense scope and builds toward what eventually feels like a fated confrontation between the three remaining full-blooded Saiyan characters.
The franchise has long since become firmly about its otherwordly warriors, and apart from Goku and Vegeta only Bulma and Piccolo feature from the traditional core cast (the latter of which being something of a crowd pleasing inclusion). This certainly doesn't weaken the film, and even without its typical comic relief characters popping up it finds moments for levity. Not all of the comedy works, and there are moments of tonal imbalance between dialogue and the otherwise befitting soundtrack. Leaving supporting characters out even strengthens the film, when we consider that Resurrection "F" felt bogged down by elongated fight scenes involving a number of side characters that ultimately felt like padding. Perhaps a lesson has been learned, and we'll see less of the same old structure that the shows had copied and pasted in their glory days.
Broly and his father Paragus are given extensive background sections where we see them on the desolate planet that would be their home for many years. Our level of sympathy for Paragus declines as the film wears on, as he continually exemplifies his inability to be a father. This remains in line with the characterisation of other Saiyan characters, because while the villainous Frieza's stranglehold over their race frames the underdog as the tragic slaves of an evil dictator, it doesn't shy away from the fact that these slaves are not nice people. They are violent and cruel and it shows through in the behaviour of their very children. Fortunately, Goku and Vegeta grew into adults without the influence of these parental figures, and both turned out far different to how they would have otherwise. Broly only learns the way his father teaches him through cruelty and discipline. No wonder Broly snaps in the back half of the film.
I haven't even touched on the film's second half because the meat of the narrative is entirely in the first. Dragon Ball has always been a franchise that shines when it sprinkles its pieces of world-building in amongst excessive, earth-shaking action. This is particularly true of early parts of Dragon Ball Z, when we're learning more about where Goku comes from through his coming face to face with antagonists that have a significant connection to his birthplace. For the first time in a long time, Toriyama has merged elements from the early days of Z and crafted an original and compelling new chapter that adds renewed relevance to the origins of its major characters.
The final forty or so minutes of the film is a non-stop action blockbuster. There's barely any time to take a breath as the Toei animation team puts in what is arguably the best work ever conceived for a Dragon Ball project, period. The hand-drawn style rekindles that seen in the '80s and '90s era of the franchise, and its blending with CGI only very rarely falters. There are entire sequences that'll keep loyalists of the series on edge, and seeing the protagonist battered so badly and with such vibrant, vivid animation is a rarity in a show that often falls back on the near invincibility of its overpowered leads. Occasionally the bombastic nature of the battle becomes too much, a literal feast for the eyes that leaves the distinct feeling that we've been forcibly overstuffed.
Dragon Ball Super: Broly eclipses all previous films in this franchise convincingly and is a fitting new chapter that solidifies Goku, Vegeta, and the stories of super-powered aliens on Earth as mainstays in contemporary pop culture. It's hard not to remain a fan after so many ears when it remains clear that quality is still attainable when time and energy is poured into the work. That said, Dragon Ball is fraught with flaws that are likely to never go away. There's nothing deep or groundbreaking about the story here, but those of us who have adored what's come before will be relieved and grateful that, in a franchise that like any other with such stamina, has seen many ups and downs, Dragon Ball has found its footing and has an eye toward a promising future.
Film '89 Verdict – 9/10
Dragon Ball Super: Broly is on theatrical release now (regional variances apply).

"I can't believe it. I started my IRONMAN career in 2009 and I've finally got to the top of the podium. This is unreal. It's been an awesome adventure," said Bozzone.
Since he made his debut on the iron distance seven years ago, the New Zealand native has come tantalizingly close to the top spot of an Ironman podium with four silvers in the past years. In the lead-up to the Ironman World Championship training with defending champ Jan Frodeno, the former Ironman 70.3 world champion had held his own. However, with a disappointing DNF in Kona due to his legs swelling, Bozzone set his sights on Ironman Western Australia to redeem himself.
Training partner Nick Kastelein came first out of the water and the two men set the tempo early on the bike leg. It was Bozzone who made the first move to get away. By the time he hit the bike-to-run transition he had a nine-minute lead over the rest of the field. While Andy Potts chipped away on the run to take second over Kastelein, Bozzone's win was never in doubt.
He enthused, "I just felt good today; it's an amazing feeling to get my first Ironman win."

DriveSmart 61 - NO Details?? HELP!
I received my DriveSmart 61 a couple of days ago. I updated the maps and software (I live in very countrified DSL land - it took almost 8 hours! :( ) Anyway, there is absolutely no detail, no matter how far I zoom in. I search for "restaurants" in Paris TN and get "NO MATCHES FOUND". What in the world am I doing wrong? I have loved, and loved some more, my 2 previous Nuvis. I thought learning this one would be a snap.
Thanks for any help you can offer...

Sounds like you are just looking at the basemap, which contains almost no detail. This could happen if there were a problem with the downloaded map, or if it wasn't actually installed.
For starters, you should have done a full backup of the device while it was new, before updating anything. That would allow you to restore to the original condition. But since you didn't do that, you will probably have to download again.
I also suffered with slow Verizon DSL for 11 years in my rural location, map updates would take as much as 12 hours. For that reason, I just did not update the maps very often, and that would probably be a better strategy for you. Do you have a family member or office with faster internet where you could try the update again?
I was amazed that Verizon actually brought FIOS to my tiny town this summer (after lots of political pressure) and I now have extremely fast 150/150 internet. My last Garmin map update took less than 5 minutes. :)
Information on backups can be found here: http://forums.gpsreview.net/discussion/21019/x/p1/
sussamb 829 PointsLook in Settings, Map & Vehicles, myMaps .... What does it say?
Good point, the map might just be disabled for some reason. You could also check the contents of the hidden .System folder by connecting the GPS to your computer. The backup thread I linked to above has instructions for revealing this folder. Does it contain a file named gmapprom.img? If so, how large is the file?
Thanks for the reply! I will try to maybe sit in a car dealer's lot and try their wifi! And I am SOOO jealous of your second to last paragraph.
OP here! I just re-downloaded the entire map thing (almost 8 hours!) based on the first reply above! Thank you for all your help...damn machine looks like it's back to "working"...I'll check in the morning!
Whew - what a PITA. Thanks again. Have a good night!
crazyfingers 115 Points8 hours. Wow. I updated my Drivesmart map this afternoon over our wifi at home and it took less than an hour. My sympathies on your slow connection speed.
And I had to do it TWICE!!!! Luckily, I had a bunch of stuff to catch up on, on my DVRs!!crazyfingers said:
8 hours. Wow. I updated my Drivesmart map this afternoon over our wifi at home and it took less than an hour. My sympathies on your slow connection speed.
I feel for you! The DSL connection I've had since 2007 usually couldn't sustain 1 megabit - blows my mind that FIOS is literally 150 fimes faster (and it *really* is). But at 1mbit the theoretical minimum time to download a 3gb map update would be 6 hours and 40 minutes. But it always took me much longer, and with anything that takes that long the chances of some kind of network error were pretty high.
Talk to your town/county/state government representatives. The lack of rural broadband is becoming a hot topic and hopefully you will get more options before long.
Also, what kind of router are you using? Is it what your provider currently recommends? About 3 years ago I upgraded my original DSL router and saw speeds improve by 25 to 50 percent.
My county is in talks about fiber and because of the mapping of 911 territories, I am the ONLY house on my street (out of 7 or 8 in a few miles) without FIBER!!! I begged, I pleaded, I still have DSL. It'll maybe be in a few years that I'll get fiber - my new hope will be next week to 'splain my predicament to the powers that be (let's see old widow, with cancer, no neighbors...that should get 'em) and maybe get the 911 map re-written! If I want to watch a Pay-Per-View, I load it overnight and watch the next night...but it sure is beautiful out here in the sticks!!! And quiet. :) I have a "newer" modem provided by Frontier Communications, my DSL POS.
It's funny, Verizon notified me that I could get FIOS at my old home about a month before I moved to my new place in 2006. But I decided slow internet was a reasonable price to pay for life in a secluded location way back in the woods with a wild stream, surrounded by state forest. Have never regretted that decision. :)
Love the way you think. My feelings exactly! Life is a series of trade-offs, and life in the secluded, quiet country has been worth each of them...Boyd said:

Psychosocial impact is defined as the effect caused by environmental and/or biological factors on individual's social and/or psychological aspects.
Several psychiatric disorders may affect psychological and social aspects of individual's lives. Examples are (a) obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), whereas these patients might present social marital disabilities, problems related to occupations and low income (Vikas, Avasthi, & Sharan, 2011), (b) people with cancer, who experienced negative psychological effect such as bad feelings and fears, as well as moderate to high levels of anxiety and psychological distress (Primo et al., 2000), (c) traumatic events such disasters, urban violence, and expose of terrorism may also impact on present psychosocial status (Eisenman et al., 2009). Natural disasters, like flooding, have been reported to cause a wide range of psychosocial impacts, leading the victims to present psychiatric symptoms...

honor of using this valuable weapon-a gift of one of South Carolina's distant sons to his native State-with peculiar effect. Captain J. G. King, with his company, the Marion Artillery, commanded the mortar battery in rear of the Cummings Point batteries, and the accuracy of his shell practice was the theme of general admiration. Captain George S. James, commanding at Fort Johnson, had the honor of firing the first shell at Fort Sumter, and his conduct and that of those under him was commendable during the action. Captain Martin, South Carolina Army, commanded the Mount Pleasant mortar battery, and with his assistants did good service. For a more detailed account of the gallantry of officers and men, and of the various incidents of the attack on Fort Sumter, I would respectfully invite your attention to the copies of the reports of the different officers under my command, herewith inclosed.
I cannot close my report without reference to the following gentlemen: To his excellency Governor Pickens and staff, especially Colonels Lamar and Dearing, who were so active and efficient in the construction of the channel batteries; Colonels Lucas and Moore for assistance on various occasions, and Colonel Duryea and Mr. Nathan (chief of the fire department) for their gallant assistance in putting out the fire at Fort Sumter when the magazine of the latter was in imminent danger of explosion; General Jamison, Secretary of War, and General S. R. Gist, adjutant-general, for their valuable assistance in obtaining and dispatching the troops for the attack on Fort Sumter and defense of the batteries; Quartermaster's and Commissary Department, Colonel Hatch and Colonel Walker, and the ordnance board, especially Colonel Manigault, Chief of Ordnance, whose zeal and activity were untiring: The Medical Department, whose preparations had been judiciously and amply made, but which a kind Providence rendered unnecessary; the Engineers, Majors Whiting and Gwynn, Captains Trapier and Lee, and Lieutenants McCrady, Earle, and Gregoric, on whom too much praise cannot be bestowed for their untiring zeal, energy, and gallantry, and to whose labors is greatly due the unprecedented example of taking such an important work after thirty-three hours' firing without having to report the loss of a single life, and but four slightly wounded. From Major W. H . C. Whiting I derived also much assistance, not only as an engineer, in selecting the sites and laying out the channel batteries on Morris Island, but as acting assistant adjutant and inspector-general in arranging and stationing the troops on said island. To the naval department, especially Captain Hartstene, one of my volunteer aides, who was perfectly indefatigable in guarding the entrance into the harbor, and in transmitting my orders; Lieutenant T. B. Huger, who was also of much service, first as inspecting ordnance officer of batteries, then in charge of the batteries on the south end of Morris Island; Lieutenant Warley, who commanded the Dahlgren channel battery; also the schoolship, which was kindly offered by the board of directors, and was of much service; Lieutenant Rutledge, who was acting inspector-general of ordnance of all the batteries, in which capacity, assisted by Lieutenant Williams, C. S. A., on Morris Island, he was of much service in organizing and distributing the ammunition; Captains Childs and Jones, assistant commandant of batteries; to Lieutenant-Colonel De Saussure, Captains Winder and Allston, acting assistant adjutant and inspector-general to General Simons' brigade; Captain Manigaualt, of my staff, attached on General Simons' staff, who did efficient and gallant services on Morris Island during the fight; Prof. Lewis R. Gibbes, of Charleston College, and his aides, for their valuable services in operating the Drummond lights established at the extensions of Sullivan's and

Expedition Yacht Qilak 2
If cruising to the ends of the Earth is your goal, this is your boat
Here is an interesting design from Owen Clarke specifically designed for high-altitude cruising. I think that means you will need a very durable boat that will keep you safe, warm and protected. It's an unusual looking boat. I would not call it pretty. I'd think of it as good looking the same way a Jeep can be good looking. Construction is aluminum. You can beat aluminum up pretty hard and while the resultant shape might not be attractive the boat will still be watertight.
This boat is lighter than I expected. I'll use the "expedition mode" displacement because that's the entire purpose of the design. With a displacement of 106,876 pounds the D/ L is only 175.5. L/B is 3.32.
There is a full-length chine just above the DWL with a slight rocker to it. The sections show a firm turn to the bilge and a quite flat bottom with no deadrise at all. The keel is a lifting fin and bulb with a draft down of 11 feet 9 inches and keel up 5 feet 9 inches. Max beam is carried all the way aft. It is an unusual hull shape. There is zero overhang aft and a tiny bit of rake to the stem. This boat will drag its transom at all speeds. But that shape gives you volume aft. Twin rudders leave room on centerline to stow a dinghy in the garage area aft. Note the huge radius on the stem in plan view.
The boat is laid out to sleep 11 people. There are two sleeping cabins with double berths and the rest of the berths are singles. In the forward sleeping cabins the singles are stacked berths. The main cabin is unusual in that it is divided by the keel trunk. To starboard of the trunk there are two small heads. Outboard there are several compartments that I think include a couple of shower stalls or maybe a big wet gear drying locker. Hard to tell from the drawings. I would think that if you were cruising where you could be wet much of the time, having a big space to dry and air out wet clothing would be extremely important.
To port of the keel trunk is the dinette. Looks like the crew of 11 will have to eat in shifts. To port and aft of the dinette is the galley. It's big and tucked outboard of the pilothouse. The pilothouse is raised up for good visibility and has settees port and starboard. Looks like there may be a table in the pilothouse too. Two elevated pilot chairs aft in the pilothouse will be prime places to sit while underway. Note that the top of the pilothouse hangs over the cockpit about 4 feet to give some shelter in the cockpit.
There is a huge fo'c'sle with a watertight bulkhead fore and aft and a big chain locker forward of that. I think you can see the priorities in this design pretty easily. You will sleep comfortably. You will be able to be protected from bad weather and still see the view. Your clothes will be warm and dry. You will be able to prepare nice meals. That squatty sectional shape to the hull gives you interior volume where you need it.
The sailplan shows off the unusual profile of the boat. Freeboard is low at the bow so you can see over it. I'm not wild about the shape of the house. I can see they were trying to provide headroom in the sunken pilothouse while also getting some headroom under the overhang in the cockpit. It works. The SA/D is 18.95. There is a light air masthead genoa carried on roller furling and aft of that tack point a smaller, fractional working jib. The tack of the genny is far enough aft to allow you to fly an asymmetrical chute tacked to the stem with minimal interference. There are two independent ground tackle systems with the rode lead aft about 12 feet. Maybe this is why that stem radius is so big. It allows for the two anchors to fit nicely on the bow. There is tankage for 1,141 gallons of water and 1,017 gallons of fuel.
This is a fascinating design. It would not be a good boat for the Caribbean. But for the job it was designed for—the higher latitudes—it should be a dandy vessel.
LOA 66'10"; LWL 64'9"; Beam 20'2"; Draft keel down 11'9", keel up 5'9"; Light displ. 76,148 lb., loaded 107,102 lb.; Ballast 20,503 lb.; Sail area 2,669 sq. ft.; SA/D 18.95; D/L 175.5; L/B 3.32; Auxiliary 150-hp; Fuel 1,141 gal.; Water 1,017 gal.

|Rabin, Clinton, Arafat in 1993
Jean d'Ormesson, writer, philosopher, newspaper commentator, and the most visible member of the prestigious Académie Française, died December 5th, aged 92. He was a frequent guest on television programs where he sparkled as much by his erudition as his mischievousness, which gained him a certain popularity beyond the world of intellectuals. He was honored with a national funeral ceremony at Les Invalides, attended by former presidents, politicians, Academicians and fellow writers. In his eulogy at the solemn homage in the Cour d'Honneur, President Macron called him "a prince of letters" and "the best of the French spirit".
On Tuesday, December 12th, second anniversary of the signing of the Paris Accord on Climate Change, President Macron opened the One Planet Summit, co-hosted by the United Nations, the World Bank, and France to deal with the financing of green solutions for the reduction of global carbon emissions. It was also an occasion to counter President Trump's withdrawal from the 2015 Agreement and his argument that the Paris Accord was "bad for business". "We're not moving fast enough; it is time to act and win this battle," said Macron in his opening address to more than 50 world leaders and government representatives, investment fund managers and a number of wealthy individuals such as Bill Gates, Richard Branson, and Michael Bloomberg. Former Secretary of State John Kerry and former Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger also were in attendance.
The President of the World Bank announced that the Bank would stop financing coal and gas explorations in 2019. French insurance giant AXA said it would stop investing in any company involved in coal mining and will withdraw nearly $3 billon from the sector. More than 200 large-scale investors, including the HSBC and the California pension fund CalPERS, agreed to put pressure on the 100 most polluting companies in the world in the oil, mining, and transport sectors. The European Commission and the Gates Foundation earmarked large sums for agricultural research to combat the effects of climate change on farming. And in defiance to Donald Trump, President Macron invited 18 foreign scientists (13 of them American) to come and work in France for the rest of Donald Trump's presidency, funded by 20 million euros in French research grants.

Have you ever thought about why we celebrate the 4th of July the way we do?
So many "traditions" we have come accustomed too and don't think twice about.
Fireworks, BBQ and Beer of course! Some places have a lake, family reunions and so much more.
But how did we go from fighting for our independence from Britain... to being so casual and dismissive with this holiday that our country is founded on.
July 4th is the Federal Holiday we utilize to commemorate our Declaration of Independence. The Declaration we still use to protect us now, followed an even more unique document called the, "Articles of Confederation" which are what was adopted by the Continental Congress on November 15, 1777 but ratified March 1, 1781.
The first Constitution of the US, are the Articles of Confederation.
We had wanted our independence for some time. It seemed to have taken some years, blood, lives followed by a lot of intellectual conversation, to make our country what it was at the time.
And we did it with representatives from each of the 13 colonies, together to create one nation separate of the country and king who was oppressing the people at the time with its tyranny and taxes.
The 13 colonies.. Banded together.. To create, or potentially create, one of the strongest countries in the world.
"During the American Revolution, the legal separation of the Thirteen Colonies from Great Britain in 1776 actually occurred on July 2, when the Second Continental Congress voted to approve a resolution of independence that had been proposed in June by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia declaring the United States independent from Great Britain's rule."
One man, Came to the plate with an idea and a plan, that would forever change the history of America.
An idea that many were thinking, others were acting upon and a few were just waiting for the moment when they would need to enforce the Constitution for their new found freedoms.
The preamble to our constitution states:
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.That phrase, sets the tone for the entire constitution.
Why did our founding fathers feel these words they carefully chose to put into such an important piece of current political controversy at the time, were important enough to make it to the final draft?
"Those who made significant intellectual contributions to the Constitution are called the Founding Fathers of our country" and unfortunately for the people who have to pay them, "The road to revolution was paved with taxes." Taxes we were already being forced to pay to Britain, were now to be rerouted to a different type of government. A government that would eventually become the one we have today.
That statement in and of itself could be gone down the rabbit hole of information but my point with repeating that, is that when force is used, coercion tactics surely haven't helped the formation of who and what we are today.
Has the way our country's foundation was created, setting the tone for it to unravel later? Is later now? Are we paying attention to what is going on in our country? OR are we so caught up with our day to day lives that have been mass marketed till we are bleeding the grease from the cheapest burger joint on each corner, buying the best bogo package of fireworks and meeting with families at our family reunions that we don't even like?
Our Constitution was wrote with the intention of giving the colonies a bond with each other to strengthen the security and protect the individuals within. Especially considering the battle that turned bloody very quickly that they were facing at the time.
We have rights. Natural rights and proclaimed rights in our constitution.
Are we being afforded these rights? Or are we being systematically brainwashed by good food, pretty lights and a watering hole, that we forget how many lives were given and taken to have what we have today. That ARE changing before our eyes.
Are we acknowledging these rights we have or are we so complacent with the things our current America is "allowing" us to have, based on what is being taken from others?
Is our Fourth of July really just a mass catastrophe waiting to happen because of what it represents to the rest of the world?
WIll the warnings that got sent out about terrorist attacking us on this day be looked at carefully?
Are we paying attention?
Do we care?
"The Constitution of the United States is over 200 years old. Below are some of the important dates that led to the creation of the Constitution:
1775 — The Revolutionary War between the Colonies and Britain begins.
1776 —Declaration of Independence written; the 13 colonies become the 13 states, but are not yet united under one central government.
1781 — The last battle of the Revolutionary War takes place; the 13 states set up a federal government under laws called the Articles of Confederation.
1786 — Representatives from five states meet at Annapolis, Maryland, to discuss interstate trade. Because so few representatives attend, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison call for another convention to be held in Philadelphia.
1787 — The Constitutional Convention begins on May 25, in Philadelphia. Fifty-five representatives attend and begin drafting the Constitution. On September 17,
1787, the convention comes to a close as the representatives sign the Constitution.
1788 — The Constitution becomes the law of the land after New Hampshire becomes the ninth and last state required to approve it." -List found at Scholastic.com
We have been "fighting" for our rights to freedom for hundreds of years, thousands upon thousands if we look at this as a human on Earth issue rather than an American fighting for an American issue.
When will we recognize that our efforts do not have to be in vain and the traditions we have could be better than ever. If we would only get to the roots of what our society is really founded upon in order to assume responsibility, and then to correct what needs to be corrected that is happening all around us everyday.
And to continue that with making sure our world is a better place because of how we choose to live and act upon each presented issue that affects each of our everyday lives.

Kitten recovering after local Humane Society says it was thrown from a bridge
According to the St. Joseph Bay Humane Society, a kitten that appears to be about five weeks old was thrown from the Highland View bridge, also known as the Tapper Bridge.
The bridge is estimated to be between 50 and 60 feet tall.
"I got a phone call from our board president who had received a call from a community member that knew about this kitten that was thrown off the bridge and wanted to know what we could do for it," Gatlin Ives, Executive Director of St. Joseph Bay Humane Society, said.
The situation appeared to be grim.
Ives said, "[The kitten] wasn't moving, wasn't talking."
He said when he saw the kitten gasping for air, he held a stethoscope up to her and heard purring. It turns out, the kitten hadn't used up her nine lives, but after suffering from a spinal injury, she has a long road to recovery ahead of her. For now, she can't use her hind legs.
"I'm working on building a wheelchair for her that will straighten out her spine and hopefully help the healing process," Kylie Skoda, Animal Care Manager at St. Joseph Bay Humane Society, said.
Skoda is fostering the kitten for now, but we're told one of the individuals who found her is interested in adopting her.
Now, this kitten's story is sparking the conversation about dumping animals and how to help animal victims.
While the Humane Society has received almost $2,000 in donations, it's setting up a "second chance" fund to help other animals in the kitten's honor.
As for the kitten's new name? Bridget. It's not yet known if she will make a full recovery, but she will be monitored for the next two to three weeks.

Leading Wine Industry Think Tank First Partnership of Many in New Market Entrance
NAPA, CA--(Marketwire - October 6, 2010) - SCVNGR, the location-based game and game platform and VinTank, the wine industry's leading digital think tank, today announced a partnership to bring the power of location-based social gaming to the wine industry. SCVNGR's game layer will infuse game dynamics into the wine industry to create meaningful interaction and engagement for wine lovers across the globe.
SCVNGR is a mobile app all about going places, checking in, completing challenges, sharing on Facebook and Twitter, and earning real-world rewards. The Cambridge, Mass.-based company has already made headlines with major brand partnerships including AT&T, Warner Bros., Sony, the NFL's Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots, NBA's the Boston Celtics, National Geographic and hundreds of universities.
In the wine industry, SCVNGR's mission is leveraging social gaming to help increase traffic to vineyards as well as on-property sales in wineries throughout California, the U.S. and abroad. Working with clients at the nexus of wine and technology, VinTank has the access, knowledge and relationships to facilitate this breakthrough. Together, SCVNGR and VinTank offer a turnkey solution to wine companies that are hoping to remain relevant as technology adapts and trends towards the importance of location.
"The wine industry is primed and ready to start capitalizing on all of the emerging technologies available today. Wine is meant to be social, after all, and we believe adding opportunities for wine consumers to socialize digitally is the natural next step," said Paul Mabray, VinTank's Chief Strategy Officer.
By going beyond the 'check-in,' SCVNGR's platform lets any company or brand add to the game layer by building customizable game experiences at their locations which engage and activate constituents. Also, SCVNGR is tightly integrated with Facebook's recent foray into the location-based space -- the Facebook Places platform. This full integration also gives SCVNGR's brand clients access to the largest social platform in the world.
"Wine is about tradition, perfection, and enjoyment," said Ryan Neu, partnership executive at SCVNGR, who is leading the charge in the company's wine initiative. "We are excited to introduce game dynamics to help shine a light on these values and bring a new element of fun to this ancient art."
VinTank will consult in determining the gaming outlets, messaging and roll-out strategy within the wine market, as well as facilitate partnerships with the industry's leading wine companies.
"We believe SCVNGR to be the right fit for the industry. Their turnkey solutions allow for engagement and enjoyment far superior to other location-based applications. We couldn't recommend any better platform to bring the wine industry successfully into the digital media future," added Mabray.

Sealed, Secured and Delivered
We have been in the packaging materials business for a while now and we have learned a lot about the quality and usage of the materials that we sell. We thought that it was about time that we provide some of that knowledge to our customers, starting with how to properly secure and seal their packaging boxes.
The Right Box
The process obviously starts with selecting the right type of box; you have to know the sturdiness of the box before you start packing goods in it. You can start off by looking at the type of packing boxes and moving boxes available in our store and select the correct type. Using new boxes is always the best choice, because repurposed boxes may have weaknesses that you aren't aware of. If the box is damaged, then the items you are packing in it are at risk.
You also have to look at the strength of the box; usually a regular sized single walled cardboard box can handle about 30 kilograms of weight and a double walled cardboard box can handle up to 45 kilograms. You should select the type of box that will meet the weight requirements of your shipment.
Sealed and Secured
Sealing and securing the box properly is just as important as selecting the right box. So, you shouldn't use any old tape that you have lying around. Majority of other tapes will come off after a while and it will put your items in danger. Opt for a high strength wide packaging tape instead, that has been specifically made for sealing a cardboard box. The packaging tape is manufactured for the purpose of properly sticking to the surface of the cardboard box; hence it is the best choice for sealing purposes.
One aspect of the securing process that often gets overlooked by people is securing the bottom of the box. The bottom of the box will take the brunt of the weight of the items placed in it, so it should be taped up as well. If you want another layer of security for the box, then you can staple the lids of the box.

The process of the clandestine removal of an individual from a particular country. Exfiltration may require either that the regular exit controls be duped, by use of false documents and disguises, or evaded altogether. Examples of the former include the rescue of American diplomats from hiding in Tehran in 1979 when the U.S. embassy had been occupied by Iranian radicals, and the exfiltration of Ryszard Kuklinsky and Oleg Gordievsky, who were driven out of Poland and the Soviet Union, respectively, in black operations by intelligence officers working under diplomatic cover.

1. Check Your Oil and Coolant
Your vehicle's oil and coolant help to regulate the temperature of your engine, preventing it from overheating as you drive. Without proper oil levels, your engine's components will rub against one another, creating friction, producing heat and causing damage to important parts of your engine. Additionally, a low coolant level can cause heat to produce at a much faster rate, which can quickly create problems within your engine and its components. An overheating engine can cause a vehicle to break down and increase the chances of traffic buildups and accidents on the road. Keep an eye on your fluid levels to increase your safety on the road!
Our Recommendation: You should have your oil changed every 3,000-5,000 miles, or whenever your vehicle owner's manual tells you to do so, and have your coolant checked and changed every 30,000 miles. If you aren't sure how to check your oil or coolant, our guide will provide you with step-by-step instructions and indicators to determine whether or not you need your oil or coolant changed!
Our Recommendation: You should have your oil changed every 3,000-5,000 miles, or whenever your vehicle owner's manual tells you to do so, and have your coolant checked and changed every 30,000 miles. If you aren't sure how to check your oil or coolant, our guide will provide you with step-by-step instructions and indicators to determine whether or not you need your oil or coolant changed!
2. Test Your Headlights and Taillights
If you're planning on driving at night, one of the most important components to check before you hit the road are your headlights and taillights. Your headlights will help you spot pedestrians and hazards on the road as you drive, keeping both you and other trick-or-treaters safe this Halloween. Your taillights serve a similar purpose, as they help to notify pedestrians and other drivers behind you when you are preparing to stop or take a turn. Making sure your headlights and taillights are in working condition can make a huge difference this Halloween season.
Our Recommendation: Bring a friend along for this one! When the sun goes down, have them stand in front of your parked vehicle as you turn it on, engaging the headlights. Next, turn on your left turn signal, then your right turn signal. After that, make your buddy stand behind the vehicle and repeat the process. If they notice any dim or dark headlights or taillights, wait until the morning and then bring it into our Service Center. We'll make sure your lights are in proper working condition before Halloween begins!
3. Practice Street Safety
Street safety might seem like a no-brainer if you've been driving for a long time, but people can be very unpredictable on Halloween. Groups will frequently jaywalk or cross the street at the last second at busy intersections. While this may be frustrating as a driver, practicing defensive driving during the holiday season can make the difference between a minor inconvenience and a Halloween nightmare.
Our Recommendation: Pay very close attention to speed limits, crosswalks, and other street signs that can indicate whether or not you will need to stop. If you see pedestrians attempting to cross the road, give them the right of way and allow them to proceed. Additionally, if you approach a yellow light, do not try to make the light and cross the intersection! This is an extremely unsafe driving habit and can lead to dangerous consequences. Refer to these Halloween driving safety tips to keep your trick-or-treaters and passengers safe this year.
4. Fill Your Tires
Driving with low air in your tires can affect your vehicle in a variety of ways. You'll experience poor gas mileage, have difficulty braking, and may even encounter damage to your axles or wheels themselves. Keeping your tires properly inflated can help you avoid accidents, costly repairs, and will greatly improve your fuel economy.
Our Recommendation: First, check the amount of PSI or pressure your vehicle owner's manual says your tires should be at. Next, purchase a tire gauge to help you determine your tires' PSI. Finally, head to a nearby gas station or tire inflation center and find the nearest air pump. Unscrew the small cap on your hubcap and insert the air pump, pressing down on the lever to engage the air. Alternate filling your tires with pressure and checking your tires' pressure on the gauge to determine when they are at their appropriate level. Lastly, once you've successfully filled all your tires to their proper PSI, screw the caps back on your tires.
5. Use Your Vehicle's Advanced Safety Features
Do you own a new Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, or Cadillac vehicle? Good news! It's probably equipped with a suite of advanced safety features! From the optional Adaptive Cruise Control to the standard Rear Vision Camera, you can make the road a much safer place with your vehicle's safety features.
Our Recommendation: If you own or are interested in buying or leasing a new vehicle, explore some of the advanced safety features that come standard or optional on most GM vehicles, then let us know if you want to schedule a test drive to see how this technology works in person!
6. Have Your Vehicle Inspected
The best way to ensure that your vehicle is run effectively on the road this Halloween is to have it inspected. Our ASE Certified service team members can help with oil changes, coolant flushes, tire changes, headlight replacements, and much more. You can schedule a check-up to have your vehicle's important components inspected to make sure that it is safe to drive.
Our Recommendation: The best way to keep your vehicle in great shape is by staying up to date on its routine maintenance. It's an important part of vehicle ownership that can often be overlooked, but proper care and effort will ensure that your car, truck, crossover, or SUV lasts a very long time.
It is always better to be safe than sorry, especially on a busy and crowded day like Halloween. Make the streets a less dangerous place this October 31st with these 6 tips for safe Halloween driving. As we mentioned earlier, one of the best ways to protect yourself on the road is to take advantage of the advanced safety features available on GM vehicles. Also, let us know if you have any questions or would like to try these safety features for yourself by scheduling a free test drive!

"Epiphany,"Oil on Canvas
"Epiphany" celebrates those moments of wonder when we reach a pinnacle of thought, a new goal, or an important and sudden realization. Much like the sun setting or rising across the dynamic sea day after day, night after night, the endless lapping of the waves offers insight and inspiration. The oil on canvas measures 47″ x 36″, and is currently in a private collection in St. Augustine, Florida.
Similar original works may be commissioned by contacting the artist at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Looking at my theater-going calendar for the month of September, an odd happenstance occurred to me: September is probably the first time in my life that I've seen three shows in a row that had all-female casts. And I don't mean a one-woman show or a two-hander. Like, four or more women making up a full-sized cast.
Steel Magnolias at Second Space (I see it every week as I'm an understudy).
Real Women Have Curves at Selma Arts Center.
And Friday I will see The Wolves at Fresno State University Theater.
I actually checked my calendar to see if I could squeeze in Dixie Swim Club at the Ice House in Visalia just so I could say I rounded it out with the fourth. (Unfortunately, no.)
Four all-female shows on in the area within a month of each other. It seems such a strange anomaly, yet one I hope to see repeated a bit more often. A quick google search shows that there are apparently oodles of all-female plays out there. The Dramatist Play Service finder alone lists about 40 full-length plays with a all-female casts and 4 or more parts. (The largest cast is, of course, The Women.)
But I guess the question becomes how many of them are very popular, very marketable, very good? I don't know. The Wolves is one of the 25 most produced plays of the 2017-2018 year. Steel Magnolias is a such perennial favorite that even arguable knock-offs like Dixie Swim Club pull strong audiences. Real Women Have Curves stayed in rotation just enough since 1990 to warrant a 2015 update.
Looking at the lists and lists of available all-female titles, however, few have any name recognition. Punching out of the pack can be an uphill battle in the new play world, and may be even harder for all-female casts. I can think of one from the last three years, beside The Wolves, that has name recognition for me. But would it for anyone else?
The play is titled, funnily enough, Men on Boats and did gangbusters at Playwright's Horizons in 2015. It is on the current season at ACT in San Francisco.
So, the plays are out there. They're being written. Even produced. Finding them and taking the chance on their potential is perhaps the key. Like women themselves, all-female plays tend to be judged on their track record, not on their potential.
Anyway, it got me to wondering . . . what all-female plays are on your to-do list? Either to see, produce, or write?

Hi everyone, thanks in advance for taking the time to checkout my first project. I realize its not the prettiest and I feel like the code is a bit sloppy.
Can someone please tell me why I'm not able to get my last h4 element underneath the quote p section? Its placed under the quote in the code, so why doesn't it appear that way on the page?
And any other feedback would be very much appreciated
Thanks so much!

One thing else to do prior shopping for these paintings must be to have a price range. What somebody might not notice is that these paintings can expensive relying on the standard and the artist that made them. However, for some folks the paintings are going to be so beautiful that they will not have problem paying the additional cost to get their hands on such a good looking merchandise within the home.
If you have to give a gift to a friend who's a music lover or somebody who's a musician himself, your reward will be higher appreciated if you happen to give him something related to his ardour. Present him one thing music associated like wall artwork depicting musical instruments, or a set of his favorite artist's CDs.
Making use of the paint- Now it's time to paint.
Acrylic painting is changing into a very popular painting media in twenty first century. One of the best feature of this painting medium is that it gets dried up very quick. It incorporates pigment, which is dissolved in an acrylic polymer emulsion. ~~*~~ Other than canvas wall artwork, you also need to produce other decor items. If you'll open a Japanese restaurant, you possibly can hold kimonos on the wall or place a red Japanese umbrella on one nook. Use low profile furniture and Japanese mats. Have your service crew costume in kimonos.
So in summary, for the entire newbie in oils I'd say this. Get yourself a field of scholar oil paints, some thinners, some linseed oil, a palette, 2 or 3 brushes in several sizes, and a canvas. Select a subject or get a book that provides you step by step instructions. Paint in layers 'fat over lean'. Keep practising!
You are not alone. finally stained. 96 pages, $14.ninety nine
* Do you think that concept could adapt again to gallery exhibitions? El duende is the spirit of evocation. It comes from inside as a physical/emotional response to music. It's what offers you chills, makes you smile or cry as a bodily reaction to an artistic performance that's significantly expressive (from Wikipedia)
Now days many art painting reproductions can be found which are precisely of the museum quality. As museums only show the paintings that are original and these reproductions are made just like unique paintings. So you have to put money into these beautiful art collections. And have a singular piece of artwork at your property. You may get the qualities of unique grasp piece at your property at affordable price.
Indian painting is one of the types of Indian artwork. Within the pre historic instances the rock paintings have been made. The core principle is 'magnificence'. An artist's work which makes the viewer sees and feels it as lovely, may be thought-about as effective art. Perhaps it is better to elucidate what it isn't.

Signalment: Canine, 4.5 yrs., F/I, Australian Shepherd, "Sallie".
History: Pt. presented after owners were called home from vacation by their pet caretaker after finding her exhibiting rigid front legs, could not get up, and the head and neck were stiffened backward, similar to a Schiff-Sherrington posture.
Diagnostics and Exam Findings: The patient exhibited paresis of the front legs and she was reluctant to allow her head to be moved freely. All four feet had deep pain reflexes, but her front feet knuckled over. Radiographs and clinical signs supported a diagnosis of neck or head injury consistent with possible trauma (Owners noted their bird house had fallen while they were away, possibly striking their dog). Blood chemistries and CBC were normal.
Laser Treatment: 12 J/cm², utilizing preset Acute Musculoskeletal protocol, delivered 4800 total joules to the cervical area (400 cm²) in contact utilizing the large deep tissue applicator in a circumferential manner from all aspects.
Frequency of Treatment: Initially daily for 3 days, then every three days for three treatments, then weekly for four weeks. (14 treatments in total)
Other Treatments: The patient initially received phenobarbital and diazepam, but showed minimal improvement the following morning. Other standard of care treatments, including mannitol, dexamethasone sodium phosphate, and prednisone.
Comments: "After 48 hours the only improvement was front leg rigidity being less, but the dog could not get up yet. At this time we assumed a neck injury based on radiographs and lack of noticeable improvement. We elected to try laser therapy. Response to treatment consisted of being able to stand, walk and run again, eventually without knuckling on front left leg. A total of 14 treatments achieved this, over a 7 week treatment period" – Dr. Narhwold
