Liaison with 100 thousand evil men



1. To keep my hair healthy I normally wash it no more than 2-3 times a week. I find that excessive washing makes my hair really dry, regardless of the products I use. When I do wash my hair, I always make sure to apply shampoo only to the scalp and never to the ends of my hair, which tend to be somewhat dry. I usually just work the shampoo gently down the ends of the hair, making sure not to scrub, which can lead to breakage or knots.

2. Unless I am short for time, I skip completely, and just let my hair air dry. Pretty sure, you’ll be surprised how much healthier your hair looks and feels if you skip the a few times a week. I know I certainly was, and overtime definitely saw a lot less split ends. I also like to apply caviar repair re-protein cream to prevent split ends and keep my hair from getting too dry. Now, I could never say goodbye to my forever, but I do like to give it a day off every once in a while.

3. Every morning, I brush my hair for at least 10-15 minutes, using Paddle brush with Ionic Technology for maximum shine. Combing hair regularly helps to improve circulation and keeps scalp healthy. The importance of brushing hair daily, is something I learned from my mother, who always had the most beautiful, long hair. So, I make sure to follow her advice:)
4. Straight styles are the easiest for me, since my hair is pretty straight to begin with. Usually, I flat iron only the ends to give it a more polished look. I finish with just a bit of BB Spray Mode hairspray with flexible hold to help the style last all day.

War victims



Did Sophie make the right choice? Should she have continued to refuse, even if both her children were then murdered? Was that the morally correct choice? Are you prepared to judge what Sophie did?

I would hope that most people understand that no judgment of any kind can be made about what a person does in such a situation. Monsters created the conditions under which a mother would be forced to make such a "choice." Whatever Sophie did, the result would be a horror beyond imagining -- and beyond surviving. Although she survives the war physically, she does not survive psychologically, and the profound, ineradicable damage caused by the "choice" forced on her ultimately leads to her own death. The fact that unbearable horror would be the result of whatever she did has a necessary corollary: whatever she did would be completely understandable. Whatever she did would be all right -- "all right" in the sense that it is what happened, it is terrible in every respect, and none of it is Sophie's responsibility. If Sophie had managed to grab a gun, shoot both her children and then herself -- in a desperate attempt to spare all of them from further untold suffering -- that, too, would be perfectly understandable, and a tragedy beyond words.

When a human being is subjected to a living nightmare in this manner, when a person is forced to endure barbaric, monstrous cruelty, when the only choice is between death and death, the concept of "choice" has been destroyed. The Nazis understood very well that the destruction of this capacity to choose in any meaningful manner, the destruction of the capacity to judge, the destruction of any measurable difference between life and death themselves, is critical to the destruction of the human being, of even the possibility of being human; the concentration camps were a laboratory in which they perfected the means of ach

According to the cancer classification mesothelioma is a rare form of malignant lung cancer present due to the exposure of the Asbestos which may later cause the malignant changes of the pleura and the other body cavities. Most of the time, the prognosis of the disease is very bad. However, according to the early classification of lung tumors, there was a type of lung tumor called benign mesothelioma.

The benign mesothelioma or of the pleura is a condition which may mimic the malignant mesothelioma of the pleura. As name indicates, it is benign and will not cause any tissue destruction or spreading to the adjacent lung tissue or any other thoracic organ or structure.

Asbestos exposure and the mesothelioma
According to the history of mesothelioma, there were large numbers of workers who got the malignant mesothelioma due to the Asbestos exposure during the working period. Although this is not always happen large percentage of workers of US has got the problem. Chronic exposure may cause the problem to occur even after 20- 25 years of exposure. Therefore doctors have seen a significant association between to malignant mesothelioma and the Asbestos exposure.

However, according to the current knowledge about benign mesothelioma of the lung it is not a very significant and life threatening condition. Also it has not been shown any relationship with the Asbestos exposure. In addition to that, there is no any associated factor has found so far.

Physical symptoms of mesothelioma
As the fibroma of the lung may not cause the life threatening symptoms, it is often missed. However, they are seen in the chest X ray as an incidental finding. In addition to the X ray findings, there may be similar physical symptoms to the Malignant mesothelioma as they cause the pressure on the pleural cavity.
There may be symptoms like chest pain, tightness, palpitation. But you would not get symptoms like bleeding with the cough, voice changes like features present in malignant form.

features of the Mesothelioma
The X ray features of benign mesothelioma are very important to differentiate it from the malignant mesothelioma. Most of the time as it will not show malignant changes, the margins are sharp and well define. It will not erode the adjacent lung. Therefore, the metastatic are not seen.

Prognosis and the management of Mesothelioma
The benign mesothelioma is well responded to the treatment. As it is not extending to the adjacent tissue structures, it can be removed easily.
However, there is a very small preposition of can differentiated into the malignant ones.

Mesothelioma law in the benign mesothelioma
As benign mesothelioma is not caused by the Asbestos exposure, it will not harm any worker. So, there is a huge different in the law regarding each condition.

Sudden death match Live TV


I wonder how many writers who have contributed so much to the success of these gold standard shows can’t get work today. 

Anytime you put a list together and rank them you’re going to get disagreement. Especially when you’re combining genres. You have BAND OF BROTHERS just above LAUGH IN. How often is SESAME STREET and OZ on the same chart? Personally, I think should have been higher but I'm not exactly an objective bystander. 

I have no quarrel with any of the top ten. Yes, there are some other shows equally as deserving, but I can’t think of one of the chosen ten I’d slide down to accommodate something else. 

Shows from the early days of television generally don’t get their due. Voters as familiar with them, don’t take into consideration their impact at the time, and don’t appreciate them as much because styles change and they now may seem dated. YOUR SHOW OF SHOWS was not only hugely popular in its day, it was a major reason why many people bought their first televisions. It helped create the industry. And yet it’s ranked only 41. Another example: LATE NIGHT with David Letterman made it but THE TONIGHT SHOW with Johnny Carson ? Not to mention THE TONIGHT SHOW with Steve Allen. 

When I was a radio DJ in the ‘70s, stations would often ask listeners to send in their three favorite all-time songs and they would be compiled for a BEST 300 SONGS OF ALL-TIME countdown (usually on holiday weekends). We’d receive thousands of post cards. And the songs most listed were the current hits. Really? Your favorite all-time song is “The Night Chicago Died?” So what we did was just throw out all the post cards and make up the list ourselves. At least the survey was put together by industry writers. Otherwise, THE VOICE might be considered the best written series. 

There will always be slights. Personally, I thought WINGS was better written than a number of the sitcoms that did make the list. Same with BUFFALO BILL, RHODA, BECKER, and MAUDE. I’m sure one or two of your all-time faves that didn’t make the cut. But if the chart was the top 202 BEST WRITTEN TV SERIES there would still be four deserving ones left off. 

I was thrilled that some shows that mega hits still found their way onto the list. MY SO CALLED LIFE for one. 

I wouldn’t know where to place SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE because there were years it was the best written show on television and years it was the worst. 

And finally, if there are shows on this list that you are not familiar with, treat yourself. Seek them out. I hope THE DEFENDERS is available somewhere. But between Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and a number of nostalgia channels like Cozi, MeTV, and Antenna TV you should be able to track a fair number of these gems down. 

And once again. It's an honor to be among the exceptional writers whose work appears on this list. Even the ones who can't get arrested.

A girl who is a professional artificial respiration

The technique of inserting a hollow tube through the oral cavity to the lungs was first attempted as far back as 1788, and by 1858 the equipment and procedure was improved enough for  to be recommended to the medical community. The idea, however, was rejected as preposterous by all but a few physicians who dreamed that the method might some day provide a viable airway, if not given up on.

A few random physicians attempted the procedure in order to save a life, or to perform some difficult operation, yet successes were far and few between. Yet thanks to those who dreamed of helping their fellow human beings, and who never gave up despite past failures, the procedure was slowly

By the turn of the 20th century the medical community was becoming increasingly confident in recommending and performing the procedure of . We have to realize that initially the medical community rejected the procedure altogether

1940: Miller 


It was also during this decade that Robert Miller refined the so it was straight, and it's referred to as either the Miller or straight blade. Roger  refined the so it was curved, and it's to as either the or curved blade. Variations of both are still used to this day, and both come with a handle with a battery that the blades attach to. At the end of the blades are a small so the person  can visualize the vocal cords. During WWI Sir Ivan was the first to use rubber tubes which he inserted through the nose and assisted their transfer into the airway with forceps we now refer to as forceps. In this way he also dubbed the term "blind ." (2) was said to have "mastered the technique of

1947: Piston Ventilator: Dr. Ernst Tier designed one of the first ventilators that provided positive pressure breaths to a patient. It became one of the first such ventilators available in the United States and Europe. It allowed for inhaled air to both be humidified and oxygenated, and provided an alternative respirator to the iron lung in ventilating polio victims. It was also used during abdominal surgeries. A second and third model would be introduced during the . (3) It was the first modern type volume ventilator on the market. (4) One major disadvantage is that it only allowed for controlled ventilation, which made it very difficult to ventilate patients who were awake and alert and orientated because it would be very uncomfortable. Bucking of the vent would be quite common. Another problem is alarms were limited. 

1948: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure: During WWII Alvin supervised experiments whereby Continuous Positive Airway Pressure () was used on a variety of pilots who traveled to high altitudes. After the war he studied the use of on a variety of patients, although his work was relatively ignored until the when studies would confirm was beneficial for and sleep patients. would also be studied in the as a means of preventing a patient from requiring . )

1948:  Respirator: It was the first machine that could be used as a ventilator and provide intermittent positive pressure breathing (). According to Dennis W. Glover in his book, "The History of Respiratory Therapy: Discovery and Evolution," these machines were used during WWII as ventilators. It was also during this time  therapy was first used. The machines were introduced to hospitals in 1948. At this time positive pressure breathing either by or machine were provided by inserting a cuffed tracheotomy tube into the patient's airway. A rubber mask could also be used. Cuffed rubber  were also available if necessary.

-: Rubber masks: Positive pressure breaths were often provided by using a rubber mask over the patient's mouth and nose. One of the major complications of the rubber masks used at this time was that they were opaque and concealed aspiration or foaming pulmonary edema, and this was noted as a major disadvantage of such masks. Another disadvantage was prolonged use caused facial skin breakdown. Another disadvantage is air would often leak around the masks. And yet another complication was the masks required a person to hold the mask securely on the patient's face. When done over a prolonged period of time this could become very tiresome. When used on polio patients nursing assistants or respiratory therapists would often work in two hour shifts. The disadvantages of these masks could be compensated for by tracheotomies and inserting a catheter, and later by . 

1952: The Bird Mark I: Roger Manley was an anesthesiologist who was initially concerned with ventilating patients given anesthetics. It could be used as a ventilator and to provide . It was often referred referred to as the Manley Ventilator. He later refined it and re-branded it as the Mark II.

1952: Bennett Pressure Breathing Unit: It was studied  in 1948 and marketed as the main alternative to the Bird Mark 1 by creator V. Ray Bennett. Like the Mark I and Mark II it was a pressure cycled ventilator. It had a cut for the of (a ) and (mucus thinner), () and ethyl alcohol (to cut allay the bubbles in foaming pulmonary edema). The machines was commonly used as a ventilator instead of iron lungs when suctioning of the airway was required. Iron Lungs and being used as ventilators were pretty much phased out when volume ventilators were proven to be more effective and safer ventilators. later refined this machine and re-branded it as the Bennett PR 1 and PR 2, both of which were still mentioned in respiratory therapy texts through the 1990 as you can see here. (t7)

1951: ventilator: Carl-invented a respirator that would allow "efficient control of gas volume delivered to the patient and also allows for active exhalation. It can also be used for both adults and children, and it is the first apparatus suitable for long-term ventilation as well as for use during anesthesia." wrote a paper suggesting how inadequate iron lungs were and how much better volume ventilators were for long term ventilation of patients. (8) Like the Ventilator, it was among the first volume ventilators. However, also like the Ventilator, alarms were limited and the only mode was was controlled ventilation.

 who sailed off from San Francisco some years ago and has been living as a sea gypsy ever since. Sea gypsies have a lot going for them: relative self-sufficiency and self-reliance, camaraderie, competence, mobility and plenty of free, open habitat where they can roam freely.]

In my last essay, I proposed an unusual response to the possibility of global societal collapse that previously has not been suggested. My core message was summed up in these 30 words:

“I believe that if there is a near extinction catastrophe, a sea gypsy tribe has the best chance of both surviving and replenishing the human population in the wisest manner.”

For those of you who may not have read that article, I encourage you to do so before continuing with this one. THAT piece provides the “why to” background information for my belief that economic, energy and ecological disasters are very possible in our near future. It then suggests that various sea gypsy tribes scattered about the planet provide an excellent survival and re-seeding option. THIS article provides the basic “how to” information for anyone who was inspired by my message, and would like to join our movement. My sense is that there are three potential types of candidates. I refer to them as Seekers, Converts and Recruits.

The Seekers are skilled ocean sailors who are already out there cruising, but who are searching for more meaning in their vagabond lives. The frenzied, hollow, shop-til-you drop, electronic doo-dad hologram that modern life has become, was no longer tolerable; and so they sought the comfort and authenticity of Mother Ocean. Hopefully, my essay awoke them to the probability that there are many other liked-minded sailors out there, who are also looking for their tribe. 

The second category is the Converts. This group is also already out there enjoying the cruising life in their ocean-ready sailboats. But their basic philosophy is very different from that of the Seekers. Here is a good way to describe the conversion that would be necessary for them to be drawn towards the sea gypsy tribal value system. If they previously thought that The American Dream was good for the planet, but now realize that it is extremely destructive for the planet, then they are ready to hoist their Earth Flags and join our clan.

I classify the third group as Recruits. They have no sailing experience, but they are mindful of the lunacy of modern life and are searching for other, more fulfilling paths. Many of the core sea gypsy tribal values resonate with them. They understand that infinite growth on a finite planet is delusional. They sense that the vast problems caused by too much technology cannot be fixed with more technology. And they do not want to contribute their energy and vision to an increasingly more Orwellian police/surveillance State. They are fed up, and they wish they had a boat and knew how to sail it.

The main purpose of this essay is to convince those Recruits that they CAN learn how to sail and they should buy a boat. Also, I wish to reassure them that this can be done much more quickly and affordably than they might imagine. As for the Seekers and Converts, my purpose is to help them upgrade their cruising sailboats into state-of-the-art, ocean-going survival pods. Let’s begin!

LEARNING TO SAIL The vast majority of sailors are NOT wealthy yachtsmen. They are regular people who learned their skills without spending a fortune doing so. Your local Parks and Recreation Department will often have low cost sailing instruction. Don’t be put off if it looks like the lessons will be conducted in tiny boats, because it is actually best to learn in small craft, since they are so responsive to the moodiness of the wind. 

There are also low-cost sailing clubs in many towns as well as programs offered through community colleges. The back of most sailing magazines will list programs where you can learn sailing. The costs range from reasonable to extravagant. Just hitting the docks at your local marina is a very inexpensive option. Most sailors are pleasant, easy-going people. If you express an interest in learning, and offer to swap some help with boat projects, you have a good chance of picking up some free instruction. Volunteering to crew on local racing boats is another option. You will initially be given simple tasks, but if you pay attention, you can swiftly learn a lot. There are many “how-to” books that provide excellent instruction on the basics of sailing. Many libraries will carry some of these. Otherwise, they can easily be googled up.




So, as you can see from the preceding inventory, there are lots of ways to learn basic sailing. Once that is achieved you will need to acquire “cruising skills.” In a way, this is even easier, because the sailing magazines run a steady stream of articles dealing with topics such as anchoring, dinghy selection, outboard motor repair, food provisioning, navigation and various potential emergencies at sea. A couple of inexpensive subscriptions to sailing magazines would provide you lots of valuable information. And many libraries have current and back issues of these periodicals. Another excellent, inexpensive resource is the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. They offer many free and low-cost courses in such topics as safe boat handling, first-aid and coastal navigation.

BUYING A SAILBOAT Just as there are many options for learning how to sail, there are also lots of ways to find a suitable boat that can be both your joy and your protector. When friends ask for suggestions, I recommend fiberglass boats in the 30 to 45-foot range. My preference for fiberglass is because they are light but strong. They are also low maintenance and since they are the most prevalent on the market, they are reasonably priced. There are certainly merits to the other hull materials – steel, aluminum, wood and ferro-cement – so if that is your preference, indulge it!

My size recommendation is based on the fact that the majority of the sea gypsy community is likely to be couples. Less than 30 feet and things get a bit cramped. And when it is more than 45 feet, the vessel becomes difficult for just 2 people to handle because of all of that weight and power. Additionally, the 45 feet size should adequately take care of the needs of families with kids.

While you are learning basic sailing, you will probably start noticing boats that appeal to you. Owners love it when a stranger approaches them and says, “That sure is a fine looking boat…what kind is she?” By window shopping your nearby docks and by paying attention to the boats in the magazines you can become fairly knowledgeable quite swiftly.



American woman to depict otherwise



How to dress for a conference like a fashionable lady scientist
Spend any amount of time researching proper attire for a business, technical or scientific conference and you'll run into all kinds of unhelpful platitudes like "Dress for success" or "Dress for the job you want." What does that even mean?

Scientific conferences are opportunities to showcase your research as well as meet and interact with your peers, whether collaborators or arch nemeses. Even if these situations make you feel socially awkward, you want to leave a good impression. You want to look your best AND you want to look like you give a shit.

The specific dress codes for scientific conferences range depending on size, where and when the conference is held, what field you're in, and even your age and academic level.

For men, it's easy. In my field, international conferences are generally more conservative so a full suit is appropriate, especially when presenting a talk. Smaller U.S. conferences are typically business-causal, which for a man means dress slacks, dress shirt and dress shoes. Unless they work for a government lab then apparently the uniform is khakis and a polo shirt. (I swear those guys all look the same! It's so weird!)

For women, clothing requirements are ambiguous and options seemingly infinite. And, let's face it: these days, women can still be judged harshly for their looks and academic abilities in a male-dominated scientific community, even by other women. Attendees of the recent Society for Neuroscience conference caused a minor stir online after accusing fellow female scientists of looking like slutty secretaries or being too unattractive. 

I doubt there are many female scientists who go to a conference and intentionally dress sexy for male attention, or intentionally dress on the frumpy side because they're ashamed of their femininity. Maybe they just don't know how their outfit comes across to others. Maybe they said to themselves, "This is good enough." Or "I'm a scientist. Who cares what I'm wearing, anyway?" Truth is, people do care. And you should too.
