![]() Hence I received a stream of emails from the London PR company representing the Hydro inviting me to an event: “I was just wondering if you would like to join us for our special breakfast on Monday to unveil the biggest launch in Wilkinson Sword’s history. If they actually read my blog they would realise that I see them as being the dark side, which might dampen their enthusiasm. All of which means that the PR companies employed by Procter & Gamble and Energizer have me as a target as a “shaving blogger”. Rightly so, my Bruce on Games blog had over 100,000 readers a month, so reached an audience larger than a lot of specialist print magazines do. And these days that means bloggers as well as conventional print journalists. Part of the marketing billions is spent with PR companies, whose job it is to reach people who write in the media. Marketing is far more important than the product with these razors. This must cost them many millions every year in lost marketing synergies and in my opinion epitomises why they are number two and are likely to remain that way. In some places it is a Schick and in some places a Wilkinson Sword. Inexplicably they sell this under two different brand names in different sales territories. So now, in the patent cycle, the time has come for Energizer to try and sell us more new features in a brand new system razor, this one they are calling the Hydro. It just doesn’t have the marketing billions behind it. Yet the DE razor is both hugely better and hugely cheaper. In the West they are far more popular than the double edged (DE) safety razors that this blog is about. Of course these marketing people are massively successful (rivalled only be De Beers and the global diamond monopoly) and many hundreds of millions of men around the world are perfectly happy to pay enormous prices on an ongoing basis for these patent protected system razor blade cartridges. Then their marketing people have to convince us that the new patented ideas are worthwhile. But patents run out, so each of these companies is forced to bring out a succession of new models with new patents in them. These patents give these big global companies monopolies in supplying the very expensive blade cartridges needed for their razors. The two big global system razor companies, Procter & Gamble (Gillette) and Energizer (Schick and Wilkinson Sword) make their huge profits by patenting features on their system razors which their marketing people can try and convince us are benefits. But don’t worry, there is some method in my madness. “More than ever before, consumers expect access to exceptional products when they want it, how they want it, without having to sacrifice comfort and protection,” said Adel Mekhail, the Americas vice president of Schick's parent company Edgewell Personal Care, in a statement.Oh no, I can hear you thinking, Bruce has gone over to the dark side. Its new shaving club service also offers a new blade, the Schick "Hydro Connect," that fits on Gillette's handles for less than Gillette's product. ![]() That's not all slick Schick has up its sleeves. "Get Schick with a click," it beckoned the stubble-ridden masses. ![]() On Wednesday, Schick started accepting subscriptions to its new shave plan. So when Gillette announced earlier this month that it was revamping its razor subscription service, it was only a matter of time before Schick would follow with its own announcement. ![]() That alone was complicated enough, but the emergence of popular subscription-model startups like Dollar Shave Club and Harry's only made things harder for Schick. It's not easy being "the Pepsi of razors." Just ask Schick, which has long stood in the five-o-clock shadow of razor giant Gillette. Collins, and has gone to stay, having sold his property in Atlantic.īarney must have made record time. Barney Harris has started overland for Ft. Collins, Colorado, which place they intend to make their future home. Wilson of Pymosa township this county, left Atlantic Sunday morning for Ft. The family's Iowa departure was noted in the May 15th, issue of the Atlantic Messenger (p. After less than 20 years, the west again called them, and Barney and Mary Jane, then age 61 years, hitched up the wagons, loaded their belongings, and went west to settle in Fort Collins, Larimer County, Colorado. ![]() Once again Barney purchased land, in Pymosa Township of Cass County, and there most of the children grew to adulthood. ![]() And on 21 October 1847, Barney purchased lot #8, Block 4, in Huntsville.īetween the years 18, nine children were born to Barney and Mary Jane, all in Randolph County, Indiana Jonathan Arthur, born 28 June 1841 Edward Wesley, born 30 January 1843 Emma Jane, born 1 November 1845 William Henry, born 15 November 1847 George Asbury, born 26 January 1850 Martha Catherine, born Susan Elizabeth, born 28 October 1854, and died 31 August 1855 Lydia Ellen Harris, born, and died 7 July 1859 and Mary Abigail, born 21 October 1858.īarney and family remained in Randolph county, Indiana, until the early 1860's, when they migrated west to Cass county, Iowa, where many other Butler, Harris and Lamb families who had originally migrated to Indiana from Virginia with them had preceded them. On September 13, 1842, Barney purchased 40 acres of land from Elisha Gaddis - the NW 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Section 3, Township 19 (West River), Range 13. Elizabeth was a sister to Barney's father Benjamin, so they were first cousins. Mary Jane was born on, in Campbell County, Virginia, the ninth child and last daughter born to Jonathan and Elizabeth Harris Butler. Shortly after their arrival in Indiana, a cousin, Mary Jane Butler, caught his eye, and on 24 September 1840, Barney took Mary Jane as his bride in Randolph County, Indiana. The move to Randolph county was a major change from the plantation style living they had been used to in Campbell county, Virginia. Moving "west" was to become a major influence in his life. Barnabas Arthur Harris, called "Barney", was the sixth child and third son born to Benjamin Butterworth and Susanna Eidson Harris, on 26 June 1818, in Campbell County, Virginia.īarney was about sixteen when his family joined several other families from Campbell county to go "west" to Randolph county Indiana to homestead. ![]() Īdditionally, cytosolic domains of transmembrane proteins can attract other proteins present in the cytosol that participate in signaling cascades. It is also suspected to induce local actin depolymerization in Dictyostelium cells and influence cell migration although other studies in neutrophils have indicated its role is in actin polymerization. The enrichment of PIP3 has been shown to accumulate at tips of neurons thus inducing cell polarization and axon formation. Another closely related phosphoinositide, Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5 triphosphate (PIP3) may also be enriched in certain regions of the plasma membrane. FERM domain containing proteins, that link actin with the membrane, can also interact with PIP2. PIP2 is enriched in certain regions on the membrane, and due to its ability to interact with the PH (pleckstrin homology) domains of proteins it can locally recruit proteins possessing such domains. Phosphatidylinositol 4,5 bisphosphate (PIP2) is the most abundant phosphoinositide in mammalian cells. Ĭytosolic proteins that are associated with the plasma membranes are often localized based on their interaction with membrane lipids such as the phosphoinositides. For example, apical membrane proteins are very often anchored to GPI (glycophosphatidylinositol) while basolateral proteins have diLeu (N,N-Dimethyl Leucine) or tyrosine amino acid based signature sequences. This is achieved through the recognition of distinct signal sequences that target proteins to each of these regions. For example, in epithelial cells, which are polarized, protein composition at the apical membrane is very different from that at the basolateral membrane. Interestingly, the organization of a cell, and its various regions, do play a role in directing the recruitment of proteins to a given site. This usually consists of about 30 amino acids that are not present in a linear sequence, but are in close spatial proximity in the 3-dimensional space. In other cases proteins may carry a signal patch. Proteins that are destined for the endoplasmic reticulum also carry a signal peptide. The nuclear localization signal is one such example. For example, many membrane bound proteins carry signal peptides that are recognized by signal receptors that guide them to the target site. Protein recruitment is essentially a form of protein recognition, made possible by the presence of specific amino-acid sequences within the protein structure. Usually, signal sequences are cleaved off co-translationally by SPases (signal peptidases), and the resulting cleaved signal sequences are termed signal peptides (4-5). The growing peptide is gradually transferred via the protein-conducting channel (the translocon) into the ER lumen (4). Following the complex positioning (3), SRP / SRP receptor complex dissociates from the peptide due to GTP hydrolysis. GTP binding to SRP and SRP receptor is a prerequisite for SRP / SRP receptor complex formation. In eukaryotes peptide elongation pauses upon SRP / ribosome nascent chain complex formation the complex is then targeted to the ER membrane by the interaction with the SRP receptor (3). In prokaryotic cells, the cytoplasm and the cytosol are the same.SRP (signal recognition particle) interacts with the signal sequence as soon as it emerges from the ribosomal polypeptide exit tunnel (1-2). So, the liquid within mitochondria, chloroplasts, and vacuoles is part of the cytoplasm, but is not a component of the cytosol. The cytoplasm encompasses all of the material in the cell membrane, including the organelles, but excluding the nucleus. It is the site of most metabolic processes, transports metabolites, and is involved in signal transduction within the cell.Ĭytosol and cytoplasm are related, but the two terms are not usually interchangeable. Protein complexes and the cytoskeleton give it structure. The cytosol is not uniform throughout the cell.It also contains dissolved ions, small molecules, and proteins. The main component of cytosol is water.The cytoplasm does not include the nucleus. The cytoplasm includes the cytosol, all the organelles, and the liquid contents inside the organelles. The cytosol is a component of the cytoplasm.The cytosol is the liquid medium contained within a cell. Let me just say, putting a slash-a-thon story into the setting of a butcher shop was a fantastic idea. THE BUTCHER ON BLUE JAY WAY – Haley Newlin I’m not sure what this guy did to deserve it, and I wish that subject was broached, but that was my only complaint. Most of the stories in this anthology are about revenge, and this one is, too. THE TOE SCENE (EXTRACT - THE MUDER GIRLS) – Christine Morgan (It’s a cautionary tale, really.) 5/5Ī short story about revenge - quick, but neat. Tupperware parties are so boring - but not this one! You definitely don’t take advantage of a woman’s hospitality, then sleep with her husband. This is one of the funnier stories in the book. ![]() When some little brats hurt her child and the other moms laugh, one mother gets her revenge… 4/5Ī classic slasher camp story, with a little twist. The apple usually doesn’t fall far from the tree, especially when it comes to bullies. I’m not big on ghost stories either, but this was well-written. LEGEND OF THE NAMELESS ISLAND – Red LagoeĪnother story with a YA feel … it’s just not my style. This had a slight YA feel, which negatively affected my rating. Wow! I’m not sure this man’s crime was worth the punishment, but he definitely got his. I was pumping my fist with this one! It’s so nice when a bully gets what’s coming. 2/5Īs the title would suggest, this one is about abortion, but overall it’s about people who think they have the right to judge and bully others. I could almost see where it took a wrong turn, and it never really recovered. Sex so good that it can kill … this wasn’t one of my favorites in this anthology, but it was a decent story. Sometimes people just aren’t nice, and they need to go! Gossiping bitches, line up… 3.5/5 If “Mean Girls” ended not with a trust fall, but murder, you’d have something close to this story. This reminded me a little of the movie “Promising Young Woman”, which I also loved. ![]() Some men are so gross, and this is another well-written story of a woman who’s had enough of the typical bar-scene guy. This is an anthem to all who have to deal with the nightmare of the public, and a very well-written story. When a photographer reaches her limit, a Karen gets what she deserves. ![]() Think of all the wannabe beatnik poets we could’ve been saved from. My only complaint is that I wanted more … more killing. I’ve been Twitter/Instagram friends with Somer for years, so I can’t believe this is the first time I’m reading her writing! I loved this story about horrific things happening in your classic ‘90s coffee shop. Don’t mess with a mama bear (or wolf) you’ll lose every time. Here we go - the book is off with a bang! This was a very short story about a mother’s revenge after her son is bullied. After getting my hands on the ARC, I had a feeling that I’d love this book, and I wasn’t wrong! Gory, gruesome and full of girl power, this was definitely one for me. A slasher horror anthology, completely written by women, sounded right up my alley. ![]() There you will notice a pop-up window where you need to click on the None- button.

![]() ![]() It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. It is not particular as to soil type, but has a definite preference for acidic soils. It requires an evenly moist well-drained soil for optimal growth. You may want to keep it away from hot, dry locations that receive direct afternoon sun or which get reflected sunlight, such as against the south side of a white wall. This shrub does best in full sun to partial shade. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 20 years. It tends to be a little leggy, with a typical clearance of 1 foot from the ground. ![]() Star Gazer Hydrangea will grow to be about 4 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 5 feet. Star Gazer Hydrangea is recommended for the following landscape applications It has no significant negative characteristics. This shrub will require occasional maintenance and upkeep, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season's flowers. Its relatively coarse texture can be used to stand it apart from other landscape plants with finer foliage. Star Gazer Hydrangea is a multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with a mounded form. The glossy pointy leaves do not develop any appreciable fall color. Star Gazer Hydrangea features bold clusters of pink flowers with white edges at the ends of the branches from early summer to early fall. Also note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.Other Names: Bigleaf Hydrangea, Stargazer HydrangeaĪ truly delightful shrub which features stunning rose-pink double flowers with white petal edges, in dense clusters atop firm stems color depends on soil type a wonderful addition to the garden or border Note that when grown in a container, it may not perform exactly as indicated on the tag - this is to be expected. It is even sizeable enough that it can be grown alone in a suitable container. Because of its height, it is often used as a 'thriller' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination plant it near the center of the pot, surrounded by smaller plants and those that spill over the edges. Star Gazer Hydrangea makes a fine choice for the outdoor landscape, but it is also well-suited for use in outdoor pots and containers. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in both summer and winter to conserve soil moisture and protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates.

![]() People feel better in a space in which quality plasterwork has been done. “The material, as is the case with many other high-quality materials, has properties that can enhance an interior space in an aesthetic and physical manner. of Urban Plaster Restoration told Brownstoner. “Plasterwork appeals to people who care about the long term quality of their interior,” plaster expert Jason K. But in an old home that already contains plaster, it is almost always more cost effective - and more attractive - for the homeowner to keep the plaster than replace it. When building a new house, real plaster walls are more expensive than drywall. Also, unlike drywall, it will not harbor mold because mold cannot grow in it.īecause it is hand applied by skilled artisans, it is a higher quality, more expensive material. It provides better insulation, fireproofing and soundproofing than drywall. Plaster has many advantages over modern drywall. Photo by Urban Plaster Restoration Advantages of plaster Making molds for plaster medallions and other decorative details. “The more ornate the plaster work, the wealthier the owner.” “In 19th century and early 20th century houses plaster work was a means to express social status,” said Haralabides. The most elaborate plasterwork is usually found in the parlor. Examples include wall moldings, crown moldings, moldings on the ceiling, plaster medallions, and fanciful floral decorations or scrollwork just below crown moldings or on vestibule walls. ![]() It is applied by hand and dries to a very hard finish that can last pretty much forever - as long as it isn’t damaged by water or cracked or separated from its underlying material by movement.ĭecorative, ornamental, and architectural plasterwork goes on top of flat plaster walls and ceilings. Its exact composition has varied considerably through the ages, but in modern times it typically consists largely of plaster of Paris, otherwise known as gypsum. Plaster is an ancient material that goes back at least to the Egyptians. Photo by Town Residential What is plaster A Fort Greene Italianate brownstone with moldings in the parlor. Disruptions can cause dizziness, vertigo and balance disorders, as well as nausea.Ĭoughing can be caused by ear wax stimulating the branch of the vagus nerve which supplies the outer ear.ĭark or Black Earwax could indicate you are a candidate for earwax removal. ![]() This ringing can affect your focus as well as be an irritation.ĭizziness or Vertigo can be caused by impacted ear wax affecting the tympanic membrane (eardrum) which is associated with balance. Tinnitus or Ringing in the Ear can be the result of impacted ear wax in the ear canal. An ear wax blockage is one of the primary causes of Conductive Hearing Loss. ![]() This impaction physically blocks sound waves from reaching the eardrum and inner ear. Loss of Hearing may be the result of ear wax build-up blocking the ear canal. This function can be blocked or inhibited by impacted ear wax, resulting in a sensation that your ears a plugged up. This tube ventilates the middle ear, and maintains equal pressure on each side of the eardrum. Some of the symptoms of having impacted ear wax are:Įarache can often be caused by impacted ear wax, which can irritate or put pressure on the eardrum or contribute to infection.Ī Blocked Feeling in the Ear is most frequently the result of Eustachian Tube Dysfunction. There is no evidence that ear candles assist ear wax removal in any way and improperly performed can, in fact, lead to blockage of other complications such as ruptured eardrums or bleeding, according to the FDA.ĭrops used to soften the wax are not always effective and often will not resolve an impacted blockage. shooting water into the ear, if done too forcefully can damage your eardrum.Įar candles should be avoided. Rubber Bulb Syringe using warm water is another common method. There are over-the-counter products that can be purchased to soften the wax so it will be easier for the natural process of the ear to remove it. If the solution is too strong it can damage the ear. Hydrogen Peroxide is not recommended as it needs to be properly diluted to be safe for the ear. And even when it is fixable, eardrum repair is a significant surgery that carries with it risks and potential complications. A Q-tip is okay for cleaning the outside of the ear, but once a q-tip enters into the ear canal you can potentially create a problem, such as a perforated eardrum (a hole in the eardrum) which can sometimes be difficult to fix. Q tips can dry up the natural lubricant of the ear. There are a number of over-the-counter options for cleaning the ear. The removal procedure can be completed very quickly - it generally only takes a few minutes in most cases. Slight pain may be experienced with significant impaction removal. During the procedure, one of our providers will utilize this camera, which displays onto a large screen, to monitor the removal of the impaction.Įar wax removal is generally a painless procedure, though some minor discomfort is not uncommon. Sometimes, an auriscope (small camera) is inserted into the ear which the provider will use to determine the degree of build-up in the ear and whether an ear wax removal is called for. When wax has built up significantly, a soft mixture of hydrogen peroxide is often used to soften it and then a small vacuum is inserted into the ear to suction out excessive earwax build up. When there is not an excessive amount of ear wax impaction, a curet (a kind of metal loop) is used to gently scrape out and remove an excess build-up of earwax. It also allows the use of both hands while removing the wax. In order to safely remove ear wax, a microscope is used so that the provider has the ability to see the walls of the ear canal and the tympanic membrane very closely. ![]() ![]() While this technique is often used, it is not recommended by our ENT surgeons as it can cause dangerous perforations and permanent hearing loss.Īt LACENTA in Los Angeles Ear Wax Removal is approached using a variety of different techniques to safely remove build up. A common way to remove ear wax in urgent care or at your primary doctors office is to “flush” out the ear wax using a forceful saline or water injection into the ear canal to extract the wax. |
