Posted November 28, 2016 in Plastic Surgery, Plastic Surgery Advice
Many men and women wish to improve their appearance, but horror stories in the media make them hesitant. There's nothing worse than wanting to look your best and getting results that look more fake than fabulous. Any quality surgeon will tell you that the goal of plastic surgery is to yield results that look 100 percent natural and that avoid a "plastic" or fake appearance. The following tips are to help you achieve a beautifully flawless aesthetic rather than a noticeably altered appearance.
Choose Board Certified
When choosing a plastic surgeon, it is important to pick one who is board certified. Any doctor with a medical degree can go into plastic surgery, even if they don't have the specific training. A lack of experience and knowledge on the part of the surgeon is what ultimately affects your results. Board certifications are a testament to your surgeon's experience and commitment to staying up to date on the latest advancements in plastic surgery. A surgeon must go through rigorous training and testing processes to become board certified.
Follow Your Aftercare Instructions
It may seem obvious, but many patients achieve poor results because they don't properly follow their aftercare instructions. Infections can lead to sickness and bad scarring. Exerting yourself too soon after body procedures can lead to seroma developments. Patients who don't wear their compression garment or support bra can find that their breasts or bodies didn't achieve the firm appearance they were desiring.
Choose Options That Highlight Your Body Type
Plastic surgery has more options now than ever before, and it is important to make decisions that best highlight your body. Many people focus too heavily on wanting the body of a celebrity that they choose breasts that are too large for their frame or a rhinoplasty that doesn't balance their features. Realistic results are achieved by enhancing your natural features rather than trying to drastically alter them.
Have an Open Discussion With Your Surgeon
Providing your surgeon with a clear idea of what you envision will help them better achieve it. Look through your surgeon's before and after photos and point out patients whose results you admire. Explain to them the aesthetic goal you are trying to achieve. Instead of saying you want larger breasts, explain the body type you are looking to achieve through your surgery. This communication will better help your surgeon decide which materials and techniques are best for your procedure.
Dr. Morales is a board-certified plastic surgeon who performs breast, body, and facial procedures. It is his commitment to patient care that makes him a trusted doctor in the Dallas area. To schedule your consultation, call us at 214.827.8407 or contact us online.

ministering to baby faced marines
the military ministry was at the airport on tuesday, welcoming back marines who were on leave after finishing boot camp. they were arriving back to san diego inorder to resume their training at camp pendelton. the young marines were all around 18 years old and less than a year out of high school. they were are sharply dressed in their uniforms and very repectful to everyone around them. many of them were wide eyed with this look of uncertainty on their faces. i spoke with a sgt who was helping direct the marines, and he told me most of these marines have no idea whats ahead of them, all they know is theyre going to camp pendelton.
the marines check in at the u.s.o. at the airport, where they then line up and wait to take the bus to camp pendelton. the military ministry host a table where they provide fruits, candy and other snacks for the marines. they also provide cell phones for them to make calls and Bibles for those needing or wanting one, and smiles & general encouragement. its was a great experience to be there, i will certainly be back to help.

These Are The Top 25 Cities For Beer Drinkers, New Ranking Finds
BOSTON (CBS) -- What is the best city for grabbing a beer in all of the United States? That's a tough question, but there's a new ranking out to try and settle this debate.
Smart Asset crunched the data and used five categories to make their determination: average price for a pint of domestic beer, number of bars per 100,000 residents, average Yelp reviews of breweries, total number of microbreweries and brewpubs and number of microbreweries and brewpubs per 100,000 residents.
They found that the best city in the country for beer drinkers is Asheville, North Carolina. Second place is Portland, Maine. The first big city to land on the list is Pittsburgh at No. 3.
Portland, Oregon comes in fifth, trailing Cincinnati in fourth by a fraction of a point in Smart Asset's scoring system. Notable spots that round out the top 10 are Columbus in sixth, and Denver in seventh.
New Orleans, who made the top 25 by coming in 21st, has the cheapest average price of a domestic pint at just $2.50, the only place on the list that came under $3.00 in that category.
Some notable cities not included in the list: New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago and Miami.
Here's the full top 25, via Smart Asset.

Created in divinity, she is much more than beauty
but the embodiment of a mystical mystery that the eyes can't see.
To touch her essence, you must love her unconditionally.
To reach her depths, you must draw out her whispers of long held secrecy.
There must be an ethereal intimacy that bonds the souls together;
In sincerity, you must whisper sweet words to her heart to find her treasure.
In her, there is a transcendent quietness that brings peace
and a supreme love that break the chains of inhibition that causes release.
She is immersed in divinity, from the crown of her head to the soles of her feet.
The warmth of her love, causes joyous tears and peaceful sleep.
In passionate kisses, the taste of her lips are sweet;
The strands of her hair, are like celestial waterfalls where angels meet.
Impassioned Elucidations
Created in divinity, she is much more than beauty

EAA AirVenture officials held out hope as long as possible of keeping the popular summer airshow on schedule but ended up canceling the event for 2020.
EAA staff members are still under stay-at-home orders in Wisconsin through May 26, preventing them from working with suppliers to begin setting up the show's infrastructure at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh and printing essentials like wristbands, programs, and such. That combined with strict health and safety guidelines have created "circumstances beyond our control," EAA CEO and Chairman of the Board Jack Pelton said. The limitations made preparing for and safely hosting the show, originally scheduled for July 20 to 26, nearly impossible.
"Right now, there are three phases that have been defined in Wisconsin as the recommended procedures" for hosting gatherings, Pelton explained. "As I write this, we are not in Phase 1 yet. Phase 2 restricts gatherings to 50 people. Phase 3 allows for mass gathering with restrictions.
"Our convention attracts EAA members not only from the U.S. but around the world. Today we cannot predict when we will be at a point that our event meets the all clear Phase 3 milestone for mass gathering with restrictions." AirVenture draws hundreds of thousands of aviation enthusiasts to Oshkosh from more than 90 countries, he said.
Pelton said he had "no choice but to cancel AirVenture 2020. Together, we can come back stronger, safer and ready for AirVenture 2021 and create a memorable world class aviation event."
As the coronavirus pandemic spread worldwide, aviation events began canceling in early March, including Aero Friedrichshafen in Germany; the Sun 'n Fun Aerospace Expo in Florida; AOPA's Regional Fly-Ins in San Marcos, Texas, and Casper, Wyoming; the International Council of Aircraft Owner and Pilot Associations World Assembly in Montreal; and many others.
Organizations have been working to provide virtual aviation experiences while many pilots across the country remain grounded by stay-at-home orders. AOPA created a Pilot Lounge playlist on our YouTube channel for pilots to enjoy some hangar flying, in addition to the plethora of safety and educational content on our website. Sun 'n Fun officials launched the Sun 'n Fun Home Edition for pilots and aviation enthusiasts to enjoy photos and videos of airshow performers and exhibitor deals. EAA increased its educational webinars.

Celebrating a Bossier 'gem'
The hundreds of thousands of yearly visitors to the Arthur Ray Teague multi-use trail have two additional miles to bike and run after construction was completed on an extension earlier this year.
Local officials celebrated the completed extension with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday, touting the health benefits promoted with the now six-mile long trail that citizens can access at several notable points along the Red River in Bossier City.
More:'Not ready to quit yet:' 90-year-old still active in 5K races
"Healthy lifestyles are very important, and they're very important to the people of Bossier Parish," said Bob Brotherton, president of the Bossier Parish Police Jury. "Anything Bossier Parish can do to improve the quality of life for the citizens of Bossier Parish, we're for it."
The $1.1 million project was funded by the Red River Waterway Commission. Work began in September 2016. The extension was completed in February.
The construction lengthened the path from where it previously ended in front of the CenturyLink Center and extended it to the Red River National Wildlife Refuge boat launch.
Visitors to the trail averaged highs of more than 625,000 per year in 2011 and 2012. While numbers have dwindled in recent years following multiple Red River floods, which obstructed some of the path and caused trail closures, visitors in 2015 and 2016 still averaged more than 275,000 per year.
David Jones, a Bossier Parish commissioner with the waterway commission, said an estimated 25,000 visitors walked on the trail just last month.
"People underestimate what this is," Jones said. "This is the most utilized recreational asset that is offered by the Red River Waterway Commission, so what we've done is just added another two miles to a real gem."
The pathway runs between the parkway and river, with many trees, benches and gazebos along the way. The trail's terminuses are now situated at the Red River Wildlife Refuge boat launch and DiamondJacks Casino.
More:Take a hike, visit nature's nirvana
The trail also provides access to and from Walker Place Park, which was constructed by the City of Bossier City next to the CenturyLink Center and opened in 2016.
Visitors to that park can reach the Arthur Teague trail via a pedestrian bridge that crosses over the parkway.

By Farai Chirimumimba
The late Vice-President Dr. Joshua Nkoma is being remembered, as July 1st 2019, marks 20 years since the popular national liberation hero died at a local hospital aged 82 .His death shocked the country and triggered a flood of grief. Joshua Nkomo's family have created a foundation in his owner and on Saturday a concert dubbed "Umdala Wethu Dance", was held at White City Stadium to honour his legacy.
Outside his Pelandaba and Matsheumhlope homes in Bulawayo it looks a lot different than it did 20 years ago, when it was the scene of mass mourning and tribute for Dr. Nkomo. It has taken just about that long to try to understand what his life and death have meant.
The official recognition of the 20th anniversary of Nkomo's death began at the 2019 Annual Joshua Nkomo Memorial Lecture delivered by Professor Sabelo J Ndlovu- Gatsheni, organised by Joshua Nkomo Legacy Foundation at the Midlands State University (MSU) on June 7, under the theme "In memory of Umdala Wethu: African Intellectuals, African Developmental University and African Futures."
With a sizeable crowd of academics and well-wishers at the function, it was all but a faint echo of the mass expression of public grief that had followed Dr. Nkomo's shocking death. Back then it became more than a tragedy for the family. The Ekusileni Hospital project a brainchild of the late vice President Joshua Nkomo has been lying idle since its closure in 2004. It is a national psychodrama that seemed to shake the foundations of the ZANU PF party.
Then head of State and government, President Robert Mugabe who, it was said, had waited too long before acknowledging the nation's Gukurahundi (the early rains that washes away the chaff) in sorrowful events that left an estimated 20,000 mostly Ndebele civilians dead in Matabeland and parts of Midlands Provinces during the early 1980s. This was after government unleashed the fearsome red beret Fifth Brigade, a North Korean trained unit to hunt down a reported insignificant number of dissidents. Mugabe has never apologised. He came close to apologising when he said Gukurahundi was a "moment of madness" at the burial of Nkomo.
Again the then president is still being blamed for not releasing two important documents; the (Chief Justice Enoch) Dumbutshena Commission of Inquiry which investigated the events surrounding the Entumbane uprising between November 1980 and March 1981 and (Simpson) Chihambakwe Commission of Inquiry which investigated the killing of an estimated 20,000 mostly Ndebele civilians in Matebeleland and Midlands by Fifth Brigade between 1983 and1985.
The release of the two documents will step up efforts towards constituting proper structures for truth, justice and reconciliation to achieve national healing and cohesion. The people's Father Zimbabwe had seemed to single-handedly drag the stuffy ZANU-PF into the modern world and had more or less become its brand.
The fractures in the bond between the former PF ZAPU, ZANU-PF and the people that Nkomo's death revealed became the story then. In some ways, though, his death is proving more difficult for them to handle than his life was. Twenty years later, the flowers are gone and that great flood of shock and grief that had swept Zimbabwe has long since receded, leaving a kind of sad nostalgia behind. His Matsheumhlope home has been turned into a museum which his family had been exiled from after his death. All those changes to the family, they turned into mostly a question of style.
The Zimbabwe Independent reproduced the 2019 Annual Joshua Nkomo Memorial Lecture delivered by Professor Sabelo J Ndlovu- Gatsheni on June 7 where he reminded the audience that: "Kwame Nkrumah once said "I was not born in Africa. Africa was born in me." Joshua Nkomo was not born in Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe was born in him. This means that under whatever level of provocation, he could not betray what was born in him. Destroying Zimbabwe in whatever for is an attack on Nkomo's legacy. He was called "Father Zimbabwe" because Zimbabwe was born in him." It just goes to show the huge influence he had and still has.
In his memoirs, Story of My Life, published in 1985 as serialised by the Daily News on Friday, 01 June 2012, Nkomo wrote: "I have been called Father Zimbabwe. Whether I deserve that title is not for me to say. But by a dozen years in prison and a half as many in exile I believe I have earned the right to speak for freedom while it is still endangered – this time not by far-off colonial rulers, nor by a settler population who will, I hope, now play their full part as citizens of a new nation, but by my former colleagues in the iberation struggle."
The question is who are these "former colleagues?" Do we know them? Somebody who has not been a focal point lately is the current President Emmerson Mnangagwa. He has chosen like his predecessor may think wisely to continue making cosmetic overtones that neither lead to Gukurahundi closure nor oneness.
I hope Nkomo's children have decided that on the anniversary of their father's death will come all out in public view. After all, the 20th anniversary of Nkomo's death is a once off occasion. We can't forget!

Gwyneth's Good Will Train kept on rolling last night, pulling into "Late Night's" station with a pretty funny faux-flashback to Miss Paltrow's days as a 1990's rap duo alongside host Jimmy Fallon.
Their band, Shazzazz, had three big hits: "Let's Do It," "We Did It" and the less popular "Do It Again," which they dutifully perform for the studio audience's enjoyment.
I'm betting that next up on Gwyneth image makeover dockett will be a gig hosting "Saturday Night Live." Any takers?
UPDATE: NBC just issued a press release saying Gwyneth will be hosting "SNL" on January 15, with musical guest Cee-Lo.

Writing an academic essay could be challenging because it requires research, time, effort, and the ability to understand writing requirements. New college students find it difficult to understand instructions provided by their teachers. Usually, they don't have an idea about creating a good essay that can help score better grades.
Do you want to write an expert essay?
If yes, then following a few useful suggestions can help. You don't have to put in great efforts, just write as per the instructions and generally accepted academic rules. It won't take you long to start writing like a pro.
Common things that you need to take care of include grammar, style, punctuation, plagiarism, references, and citations. Let's discuss how you can boost your essay writing skills in no time!
What Can Help with Essay Writing?
There are a few important things that can help with improving your essay writing skills.
Learning Basic Grammar
One of the biggest mistakes that students make while writing an academic essay is using incorrect grammar. You have to work on your grammar first before you work on other improvements.
Get familiarized with punctuation, use of verbs, tenses, and subject. Learn how you can create a better sentence structure. Avoid using long sentences because they can make your write-up look hard to understand.
Although it's fine to use tools such as Grammarly, understanding the basic grammar rules is essential to boost your academic writing. Many productive websites can help you learn about the correct use of grammar. Start learning using such authentic platforms. If you keep the momentum, it shouldn't take you too long to write with zero grammatical errors.
If learning grammar is difficult, you can seek professional assistance from the best essay writing service. Subject experts from reliable writing platforms provide error-free essays well before the given deadline.
Being to the Point
Another great way to augment your essay writing abilities is to use concise phrases and word choices. An academic essay should be subject-oriented. It shouldn't talk about irrelevant stuff that has nothing to do with the thesis statement.
Don't extend your paragraphs or sentences unnecessarily. Furthermore, don't try to use complex words and phrases. They are likely to make your write-up look hard to read. Opt for simple words so that even a young student can read and understand your explanations.
Don't use a complex sentence where a simple one can suffice. The success of your essay depends upon the ability to make people understand the point appropriately. That's why your aim shouldn't be to impress readers by using convoluted words or phrases.
Using Active Voice
Using active voice instead of passive voice makes your essay look professional. It doesn't mean that you shouldn't use a passive voice even a single time in your entire essay. Of course, you can where it's necessary.
However, try to maximize the use of active voice sentences. They give a strong impression about a specific situation. Academic institutions want students to write in an active voice because it helps make the write-up clear.
Those who fill their essays with lots of passive voice sentences seldom get appreciation and good feedback from teachers. So, try to be among the ones who use active sentence structure in their assignments.
Using Rhythmic Sentence Structure
When you write an essay, you are not supposed to talk to a robot. Real human beings will read your thoughts and explanations. That's why try using a rhythmic sentence structure. Your paper shouldn't be monotonous.
Create interest in your essay by bringing a variation in the sentence structure. A short sentence after a couple of long sentences can help maintain a good level of interest. This will also help you to engage readers.
Following a choppy approach will make your essay look unprofessional. Make sure to remove all the unnecessary sentences, phrases, and words that dilute the authenticity of your work.
Avoiding Slangs
Academic writing is formal. Avoid using contractions and slang that you use in oral communication. I know writers use contractions everywhere on the internet, but an essay assignment should be free from these. Use "You are" instead of "You're".
Another good way to help you write well is to write using third-person. Avoid using "me" or "I". See if your tutor has instructed anything further about not using slags and contractions. Try to stick to the instructions to make your write-up in line with the professor's requirements.
Expanding Your Vocabulary
No one can write a perfect essay using a limited vocabulary. You need to expand your treasure of words to make your assignment diverse and well-versed.
Developing a good reading habit is great to enhance your word choice. You can read a book b your favourite author and underline words that you don't know. Open thesaurus and find meanings so that you can use the same words in the relevant context while writing an essay.
There are useful websites that can help you build a strong vocabulary. Try to visit and learn new words regularly. Soon you should start feeling confident about your power of words.
In most cases, essays and homework assignments have specific styles and structures. Reviewing the successful academic work of experienced students can help you create a good understanding of word selection.
Additionally, you need to develop a good comprehension of subject-related terminology. Remember all the key terms used in specific subjects. For instance, if you write an essay on the latest technology or science, then you should have a good collection of scientific terminologies to make your essay look professional.
Creating an Outline
Make sure to have the basics ready before you start writing. Creating an outline helps you save time and effort. You can create a structure including an introduction, thesis statement, body, and conclusion.
Add relevant key points under each section so that you don't have to look back at the sources that you utilized for this purpose. Once you have the essentials ready, it shouldn't take you long to write an essay according to the instructions.
Generally, all academic essays have a similar structure. However, you can confirm with your teacher if you have any doubts in this regard.
Performing a Thorough Research
Never start writing without performing in-depth research about the subject that you have been assigned. If you want to convince readers and get awesome feedback, then you will have to put in relevant stats and figures.
Take help from authenticated resources and don't forget to mention them in references and citations. Go to the college or university library and ask a librarian about the relevant materials. They should help you in getting the required information. You can read related books and notes.
If you can't find the information you are looking for, don't forget the internet. It's no less than a blessing for information seekers. Details related to all subjects and topics are accessible in a few clicks. Wikipedia and other credible websites provide authentic information to use in assignments. You can use all the resources while creating a list of references.
Writing a good quality academic essay is easy when you follow the right approach. Try to write as per the above suggestions. Make sure you check your write-up using an authentic online plagiarism tool. It should be unique and not copied from other sources. Universities have strict plagiarism policies. Your teacher won't tolerate it if they detect any plagiarism.

Getting started couldn't be easier. In fact, your crooked teeth could be straighter teeth, and your smile, more beautiful, within weeks of receiving Invisalign invisible braces from your orthodontist.
During this first step you will need to make an appointment with an Invisalign Certified Orthodontist. During the initial visit, your orthodontics professional will help you decide on your course of teeth straightening treatment. He will take bite impressions of your teeth and send them, along with a set of precise instructions, to Invisalign.
Invisalign uses advanced 3-D computer imaging technology to transform your bite impressions into a custom-made series of clear and removable invisible braces. There may be as many as 48 in the series or as few as 12, depending on your individual Invisalign clear braces treatment plan.
During your next visit to your orthodontist, you will receive your first set of Invisalign aligners. Your orthodontist will most likely give you a few additional sets for you to wear before you return for your next visit.
You'll wear each set of clear Invisalign braces day and night for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush and floss. Total treatment time averages 9-15 months, but will vary from case to case. You'll visit your orthodontist only about every 6 weeks to ensure that your Invisalign treatment is progressing as planned.
Congratulations! When you're finished wearing each aligner in the series, your Invisalign teeth straightening treatment will be complete and you will have the beautiful smile you've always wanted.
Beauty is good. Beauty is character. Beauty is competence. That's the "halo effect." And the halo effect is alive and well and living on playgrounds everywhere.
Not so good, if you're one of the unfortunates without a halo. Especially if you're a child called Beaver or Dopey or Goofy.
Not so long ago, a study of British schoolchildren revealed that the appearance of teeth was the fourth most common target for teasing. Children suffered under nicknames like Bugs Bunny, Fang and Dracula. Furthermore, children who were teased were twice as likely to be harassed, subject to verbal or physical intimidation, lying or other abuses, than children who were not teased.
Although height, weight and hair were also factors in teasing, ridicule about their teeth caused children the greatest amount of unhappiness.
Researchers were concerned that exposure to the sustained taunts and insults of peers would predispose some children to a lowered self-confidence and self-image.
Thousands of children need early care — some as young as three years old. Early diagnosis and monitoring allows us to take full advantage of a time when your child's bone and facial structure are easier to shape.
If you think the odds of a young child having orthodontic problems are remote, consider these facts: Two out of three people have orthodontic problems, which should be treated. A fourth of the problems are severe, says the American Association of Orthodontists. Orthodontic defects aren't limited to protruding teeth or underbites.
Often the problems relate to the overall structure of the mouth and face. Frequently they don't show up in a smile at all.
That's why an orthodontic checkup and braces, if necessary, should be a part of every child's health care program.

Cuban Youth Targeted by New US Leadership Training Program
Tracey Eaton (alongthemalecon)
HAVANA TIMES – The State Department plans to spend $1,212,000 to send 75 to 100 Cuban teenagers to the United States in the summers of 2015 and 2016, "to develop leadership skills and learn about civic participation and community engagement."
The teenagers will remain in the U.S. for three to four weeks as part of the project, called "Summer Leadership Program for Cuban Youth."
Participants must be 16 to 18 years old. English proficiency is not required. The program will be conducted in Spanish.
The Cuban students will take part in "youth-appropriate leadership activities and workshops in a safe environment, interact with American youth and gain first-hand experience with community engagement."
Students will stay with American families for six to eight days during the program "to further introduce the students to American culture."
The State Department's Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs on May 29 announced that it is looking for a non-governmental organization or an educational institution to run the project. The application deadline is June 30.
According to the bureau's request for applications:
The program delivery should be primarily interactive activities, practical experiences, and other hands-on opportunities to learn about the fundamentals of a civil society, leadership skills, critical thinking, democratic principles and community service. The activities could include participation in clubs, camps, seminars, workshops, simulations and role-playing, teambuilding exercises, case studies, a volunteer service project, leadership training exercises, meetings, classroom visits, site visits, and social time among peers.
Other activities may include visits to historical sites, local, state and/or national government centers, community centers, non-governmental organizations, museums and landmarks that combine learning about the principles of government, history, and society with tourism.
Age-appropriate cultural enrichment activities that provide opportunities for participants to interact with each other and Americans may also be part of the program. Programming should include additional American participants wherever possible, accounting for a lack of English language proficiency from Cuban participants.
The program may also include a maximum three-day study tour to Washington, D.C.
The contractor hired to run the program will "play a primary role" in selecting students for the program. The U.S. Interests Section in Havana will help the contractor "in disseminating promotional materials and in student selection."
Participants will be chosen using "clearly identified criteria for the selection consistent with local law." I wonder how the selection could be "consistent with local law" since such a program would likely be regarded as illegal in Cuba.
The contractor will be required to obtain the approval of students' parent or guardian.
The State Department envisions 25 to 35 students taking part during the summer of 2015 and 50 to 65 during the summer of 2016.
Qualities that will enable students to be successful participants include "maturity, strong social skills, flexibility and open-mindedness."

Terms like robbery, theft, and burglary are often treated as if they mean the same thing. In Texas law, there are distinct differences in how these words are defined and the possible penalties for each. Robbery defense attorney Katie Wilson will help you understand the robbery charges you face and how to best defend against those charges in a Texas courtroom.
A robbery charge in Texas is almost always connected with committing or attempting a theft or burglary. Being charged with robbery indicates you are accused of either threatening to harm or causing physical harm to someone while committing theft or burglary. Robbery carries stiffer penalties than theft or burglary in the State of Texas.
You may be familiar with the term "armed robbery." The legal term for armed robbery in Texas is aggravated robbery. Both refer to the use or threat of a deadly weapon during a robbery. A deadly weapon could be a gun, knife, or any object capable of causing death or serious bodily injury. Merely threatening to use a deadly weapon may result in an aggravated robbery charge, which is a first-degree felony charge in Texas.
Auto theft and carjacking are not treated the same in Fort Bend County courts or any Texas courtroom. Carjacking is considered a type of robbery because it involves violence or the threat of violence to a victim during the theft of the vehicle.
In addition to the more severe penalties related to robbery in Texas, some carjackings can be prosecuted under federal law. Usually, the carjacking cases that end up in federal court involve crossing state lines. KW Law has the experience you need for a defense in a carjacking case. Call us right away if you have been charged with carjacking.
A robbery or aggravated robbery conviction in Texas can result in a lengthy prison sentence. The proper defense in your case can mean the difference between jail time and freedom. KW Law will use everything at our disposal to bring about a not-guilty verdict in your case. You can count on us to mount a rigorous defense against the charges you face. We are committed to helping you protect your future.
KW Law serves Harris County and Fort Bend County. We serve Houston, Richmond, Sugar Land, Missouri City, Rosenberg, Katy, The Meadows, Stafford, Pecan Grove, and the surrounding communities. For the personal attention your robbery case deserves, contact your local robbery defense lawyer, KW Law.
Attorney Katie Wilson has served as the prosecutor on many robbery cases. She knows how your Texas prosecutor will approach a robbery case and the best defense strategies to use to seek an acquittal in a robbery case.
Criminal defense for Texans is more than a job for Attorney Katie Wilson. She takes a personal interest in every client she serves. If you are looking for a defense lawyer that will look closely at your case and work diligently on your behalf, contact KW Law in Richmond, Texas. Your initial defense consultation is free.

Tagging : @sofa_ghost @zuelanchic @miatessamia @arigoldduh @jayglovely @bigcici @emmyeffdesigns @mal_wingostarrjewelry @seedessentials @faerieblessings @hopieannc @honestowlherbal @reneepiatt @autumnsunoriginals ❤??✨ goddesses!! Could tag people all day!!
#repost from soul sister @emmyeffdesigns of her beautiful face! (And stunning necklace she made!) I gotta take like a lil tiny percentage of credit for her glow 😂 she is one of my best skincare customers and she also wears my makeup! Rocking that tourmaline blush – which I don't really heavily promote because I gotta be honest all this stuff I sell because I make it for myself lol. I went to college for jewels and gems! 🙈😂but truthfully don't trust it unless I do it for myself. That's the world we live in with major corporations, labeling laws and the tricks trying to fool you! Let me tell you straight up well formulated chemicals are no worse or better then natural ingredients. Toxicity has nothing to do with anything other then a dosage – remember that. The wrong leaf can poison a superstar. I am saying this because I have to dismantle the war on terms like "chemicals". You're a chemical, I'm a chemical, crystals and carrots are chemicals. There is hydrogen in the water! 😂I want a safe product – if it's made in a lab under amazing standards with consideration to toxicity that's what's up. I spend so much time on the labeling, consulting and information transparency process and sometimes to my own damage with competition being what it is but it's important to me to know what's in it and is it healthy ? At what levels is something safe for me? That stuff is important! Better for you – bottom line. This all natural blush is a self shading blush, what I mean by that is the natural oxides will layer in tone depending on what intensity you want to wear it. Emily is rocking a lighter wash (I mean amazing cheekbones so …) I like a deeper red wash. There are synthetically grown (but completely natural and legit) tourmaline crystals in this blush as well as hibiscus and beets! ❤ Thanks for reading my rant if you made it far enough! 🙈💋🌊👌#skincare #goddess #lifestyleart #holistic #closetoearth #blush #beautiful #livingart

The Committee to Protect Journalists, an independent, nonprofit organisation that promotes press freedom worldwide, welcomed the decision by a court in Uttar Pradesh's Mathura district to drop a breach of peace charge against Kerala journalist Siddique Kappan, and urged authorities to drop all other charges against him and release him immediately.
"The Mathura court's decision to drop the breach of peace charge against Indian journalist Siddique Kappan suggests that police officers' accusations about him were bogus from the start," said Steven Butler, CPJ's Asia program coordinator, in Washington, D.C.
"The Uttar Pradesh government should do the right thing by withdrawing all the remaining charges and setting Kappan free at once," he added.
The Mathura court on 16 June dropped the breach of peace charge, which police had originally filed following Kappan's arrest in October 2020. The court noted that police failed to complete their investigation into the charge within six months, as required by law.
Kappan and three Muslim youths were arrested on 5 October last year when they were on their way to report on the gangrape and death of a Dalit teenager in Uttar Pradesh.
They were arrested on the "apprehension of causing a breach of peace" but were later slapped with stringent charges of sedition and violation of the anti-terror law UAPA and Information Technology Act.
Two days ago, on 18 June, mother of Kappan passed away.
90-year-old Khadeeja Kutty, while she was hospitalised earlier this year, had expressed her last wish as being able to meet her son. In February, the Supreme Court granted Kappan five days' bail to see her.

Google Earth is now a sorted after feature and the various tools that goes along with it is now used by United Kingdom and United States government to educate people about how climate changes and rise in temperature can effect the very near future if adequate measures are not taken. The UK government launched a Google Earth tool that layer a model on how the earth would be with the rise in universal temperate by at least four degrees; meanwhile Californian government in the US is working on designing a tool to work with Google Earth to educate the community on the effects of climate change.
Four Degree Celsius layer
United Kingdom's Foreign office (FCO) and the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) developed and released a free downloaded interactive visual map layer called the 'Four Degrees Celsius' to work on Google Earth, on 15th July 2010. The layer details on how the earth's rise in temperature by just four degree Celsius (seven degree Fahrenheit) over and above the pre-industrial worldwide climate average, can have a dramatic effect. The series of recent events like drought and flood due to rise is sea level and disruption in agricultural production, as repeatedly being warned by politicians and scientists, highlights possible instability and violence quite imminent to hit many parts of the world. The new layer is a step by the UK government to show both to its residents and around the world, the impacts on earth climate if carbon emissions are not curbed. The layer as advocated by the chief climate change consultant at the MET office, Kristy Lewis, says the tool's illustrations are not just predictions but plausible near future impacts that the world could be facing soon. The layer shows what will happen in the event of temperature rise due to forest fires, marine life, permafrost, water availability; and jobs related to it as well as things like crops and sea level rise, as well are parts of the world which will be worst hit with extreme rise in temperatures.
CalAdapt is a Google Earth tool, expecting to be launched in September 2010, by the Californian government. California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger together with the California Natural Resources Agency announced late last year a Google earth tool, which will be educating the Californian community using visual aids on steps to take and effects of misuse and the impacts on their lives with climate change.
Google Earth a visual aid tool
The free Google's program has captivated many not just planning a short walk within the city and calculating the distance, and see possible shortcuts. It is been now a forefront tool by governments to use as visual educating aid for teaching and informing the global community.
It is important and easy to communicate important factors like temperature rise and climate change by using Google Earth as a source of visual aid provider. If you do not have a Google earth installed on your computer, YouTube still have videos of the new tools used by both UK and US government's for you to understand the impacts.

Will Smith & Martin Lawrence's 'Bad Boys for Life' Gets New Trailer
The movie opens in theaters on January 17, 2020.
The newest trailer for Will Smith and Martin Lawrence's Bad Boys for Life movie has officially dropped. In the clip, both actors reclaim their old roles as officers Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett and and take viewers along an energetic, hilarious ride.
This time around, the movie centers around Lowrey and Burnett dismantling drug cartel chief Armando Armas alongside Miami Police Department's young "Ammo" team. During the trailer, Smith's character Lowrey hilariously shares that he'll be fighting bad guys until he's 100. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Lawrence's character Burnett declares that he's ready for retirement. The only thing that brings these two back together is the fact that someone is trying to kill Lowrey.
Bad Boys for Life hits theaters on January 17, 2020. Watch the trailer below.
