Back in the days when you talk about erasing your wrinkles or enhancing the face to make it look younger, the only way that you can do it is through surgical intervention. But the good thing with science is that it allows you to have that younger-looking skin without going under the knife! This is where the miracle of Dermal Fillers comes in.

Dermal Fillers are those biologically compatible materials that are injected into the skin in order to add more volume to the face or reshape it in order to make one look years younger.

There are various types of dermal fillers available which also has FDA approval. Some dermal fillers are made out of those complex sugar chains which we call polysaccharides which has a similar composition to the substances that are found in our skin. Others are also taken out of bovine sources, sometimes from the person’s own blood which is obtained by centrifuging, and in some cases some formulated minerals. Through extensive research, these dermal fillers are now deemed to be safe for use.

More and more women are now having these fillers injected into their aging faces, and true enough it has given good success rates over the years.

Dermal fillers are particularly injected in areas such as the forehead, tear troughs, marionette lines, brows, nose, nasolabial folds, the lips, and the “crow’s feet” at the eyes. It effectively erases those static wrinkles which are giving you that old or severe look.

It also relieves surgical scars, depressions on the skin, and acne scars. In addition to this, dermal fillers are also perfect for filling up your lips, if you want to maintain that sultry pout.

Many people see this to be more preferable than surgical face lifts because first of all it does not require any incisions and wound after care. It also prevents the chances of scarring and of course the risk for infection. The pain factor is also one benefit about dermal fillers because it has very minimal invasiveness. It is also more affordable than surgery, and it can give faster results.

The immediate results can be made possible by injecting hyaluronidase. This dissolves the dermal filler injected more rapidly.

But of course, like everything else, dermal fillers also come with a set of downsides. You see, dermal fillers do not always provide the same results throughout time. That is why you need to have them re-done. Some people who are not really a fan about injectable would contest that it is not safe to continuously inject foreign substances into your body without having to face consequences later on.

The benefits of dermal fillers are also limited in that it can no longer correct skin sagging like how conventional/surgical methods are able to do so. However it can plump up and tighten the skin to make it look more youthful and healthy.

But one word of advice though, if you really want to have that smoother and younger-looking skin through dermal fillers make sure of two things. First is to find a reputable surgeon who knows what is aesthetically fitting for you. And second is to discuss on what kind of dermal filler is to be used on you. The reason for this is that some people are allergic to certain kinds of fillers, and this can lead to disastrous results. So better ensure your safety by asking the right and pertinent questions during consultation.

The Free Software Foundation (FSF) has announced today the release of the first version of gNewSense, a new GNU/Linux distribution based on both Ubuntu and Debian. The goal of the newly created distribution is to offer an operating system which is 100% proprietary software free.

Generally, GNU/Linux distributions comes with proprietary software such as kernel drivers (eg. NVIDIA and ATI card drivers), the Opera web browser or the VoIP Skype software among others. According to its developers: “From a philosophical perspective we wanted to create a GNU/Linux distribution where the user has access to all the sources for all software on the system. This includes everything from the heart of the kernel through to the everyday desktop applications.”

Ted Teah, FSF’s free software directory maintainer explained, “With all the kernel firmware and restricted repositories removed, and the reliance on Ubuntu’s proprietary distribution management tool gone, this distribution is the most advanced GNU/Linux distribution that has a commitment to be 100% free.”

gNewSense will provide users with full security updates and is available for immediate download in LiveCD ISO format along with a version of the Ubiquity graphical installer. The developers have also created a set of tools called Builder that allows users to create their own gNewSense-based distributions.

In the new 1.0 version, gNewSense has removed all non-free firmware from the kernel, removed access to the Ubuntu Restricted component (such as links to LaunchPad which are redirected to the gNewSense webpage for now) and replaced the Ubuntu logos with its own. Also the UniVerse component is enabled by default and Emacs, BSD games, NetHack, and build-essential part of the default install.

There already exists such a distribution called Ututo which aims for zero proprietary software but it never really took off in popularity. A few years ago, Mark Shuttleworth, founder of the Ubuntu distribution, also initiated a similar initiative dubbed Gnubuntu but it never materialized.

Mother seals fight gallantly for their pups

Pictou Island had 2,000 to 3,000 seals on it when struck by a “severe” storm that buried the tiny Canadian island in snow and created rough ocean effects Wednesday and Thursday.

Jane MacDonald, an island resident, said that she woke up Thursday morning to see “wall to wall seals” and their puppies “decimated” by the storm.

MacDonald commented, “The seal puppies were literally swept away into the water because their mothers couldn’t get them to higher ground. A wave would hit and the pup went under. The mother pushed it up with her nose, and then another wave would hit.”

“After the sixth or seventh wave, the pup didn’t come up,” MacDonald said. “The more you watched, the worse it got. The mothers struggled so hard to save their babies and it just couldn’t be done, I’d never seen anything like that.”

Journalist, counselor, painter, and US 2012 Presidential candidate Joe Schriner of Cleveland, Ohio took some time to discuss his campaign with Wikinews in an interview.

Schriner previously ran for president in 2000, 2004, and 2008, but failed to gain much traction in the races. He announced his candidacy for the 2012 race immediately following the 2008 election. Schriner refers to himself as the “Average Joe” candidate, and advocates a pro-life and pro-environmentalist platform. He has been the subject of numerous newspaper articles, and has published public policy papers exploring solutions to American issues.

Wikinews reporter William Saturn? talks with Schriner and discusses his campaign.

There are plenty of people who dream about making a living from the comfort of their homes. They may have a particular talent or hobby they are able to turn into career or they might be able to pick up some work here and there that is enough to pay their bills. This works fine for those who are not the primary owner for their families or for those who have few responsibilities. However, if you are the person your family relies on to keep the finances solvent, your responsibilities might prevent you from having too many work at home options. There are ways though you can make a decent living from home, but they take a great deal of work. One of these options is taking advantage of the opportunities offered by Wall Street. Using stock technical analysis software enables you to invest money and earn, making your money work for you. There is a lot involved in learning how to do this effectively and technical analysis is going to be the main key to finding success. There are several tips that will give you an advantage over other people in the field.

The first thing you need to do to start on your path to financial success is to do your research. Before jumping into a risky work at home career like this one, you need to know what you are getting into. You might even want to try things out for a little while before committing to it full time. You need experience and knowledge to be successful, so ease yourself into the process. Once you have begun, the research should continue. This is the type of job that requires constantly learning more and knowing what to expect. If you let things slide and assume you know it all, you are more likely to fail.

You will need a dedicated space in which to work. It is important to keep yourself organized and the best way to do this is to keep your workspace away from other areas of the home. Even if you do not have a full-fledged office space, you still need a work area that is free from clutter. Make sure those living with you understand it is your workspace and that they need to respect it as such.

The best way to start a career in trading at home is to start small. You might be excited about things at the beginning of your new project and be tempted to jump right into things. Though your enthusiasm will help you in some ways, it could also cost you a great deal. Not to mention, if you jump in too quickly and fail, you are likely to find your motivation lagging. It is better to start slow and steady and build up to riskier, bigger investments.

Finally, nobody wants to hear it, but you have to have a back-up plan. No matter how talented you are at what you are doing, you never know when the unexpected is going to happen. This is why having a back-up plan helps. Even if you are successful, it puts your mind at ease knowing you have something to fall back on.

Caloundra defeated Wynnum 45 points to 24 in their Round 4 Sunshine Coast Rugby Union match at Wynnum’s Grenada Street ground on Saturday.

“It’s a better performance than what we put on last week”, Wynnum coach Matt Myers said. “We’re a forty or fifty minute team at the moment, not an eighty minute team. [Just need to] stay in the fight and take [games] a bit deeper.” Caloundra opened the game with two tries before Wynnum hit back with a couple of tries of their own. “We were able to turn the momentum around after their first two”, Myers said. “They had it all over us in the first fifteen or so and we turned the momentum around.”

Caloundra half back Jarrod Kidston enjoyed the win. “Yeah it was a good start from us, probably the best start from us in a while”, Kidston said. “Then we just made a couple of mistakes and let them back in the game. They’re a good outfit so they put points on pretty quick.”

The visitors would run away with the result in the end. “We got back on even and managed to go try for try for a couple”, Myers said. “[We] let them [have the] momentum [and they were] over the top, they got a roll on”.

Fitness was a big factor in that according to Kidston. “We’ve been working hard on our fitness so it was pretty good to get the points at the back end”, he said.

In other results, Maroochydore defeated Caboolture 43–5, and University knocked of Noosa 32–22

Anonymous muscle in on Canadian teen rape case

On Wednesday, the Internet hacking collective Anonymous vowed to publish the names of the four suspects involved in the alleged rape of Canadian Rehtaeh Parsons, who committed suicide last week.

A message sent to Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) by the hacktivist group called “for immediate legal action” in the case, citing that “If we [Anonymous] were able to locate these boys within 2 hours, it will not be long before someone else finds them.”

This latest operation by the group, dubbed “Operation Justice For Rehtaeh”, led to expression of concern among the members of the RCMP. In an interview with the National Post, Nova Scotia Justice Minister Ross Landry spoke of the dangers of releasing this crucial information in this ongoing investigation, “We don’t want another child taking their life because some vigilante group think it’s OK … maybe it’s a wrong name — then what would they do to someone?”

The 17-year-old Parsons was taken off life support on Sunday following an attempt to take her own life days before. Her mother erected a Facebook page celebrating the life of her daughter as well as acknowledging the true reasons for her daughters tragic passing, “Rehtaeh is gone today because of the four boys that thought that raping a 15-year-old girl was okay, and to distribute a photo to ruin her spirit and reputation would be fun.”

Coinciding with Easter Sunday, Glasgow Cannabis Social Club’s annual 420 event was held on Glasgow Green, under sunny blue skies, and overlooking the river Clyde. Despite the city’s council attempting to revoke permission for the gathering at the last minute, police were happy for it to go-ahead with approximately a dozen officers attending in high-visibility vests.

The Daily Record reported five arrests were made for minor offences, likely smoking and possession of small quantities of cannabis. Taking a less-sensational — and more accurate — line of reporting, the Monday edition of Glasgow’s Evening News stated five were referred to the Procurator Fiscal who is responsible for deciding if charges should be brought.

Official figures provided by the police were that 150 attended. With people coming and going, Wikinews reporters estimated upwards of 200 attended, compared to nearly 700 who had signed up for the event on Facebook. Hemp goods were advertised and on sale at the event, and some attendees were seen drinking cannabis-themed energy drinks.

“I was searched and charged under the Misuse of Drugs Act (which is a lot of bollocks)” one attendee noted online, adding “not fair to happen on a brilliant day like it was, other than that I had a great day!” A second said they were openly smoking and ignored by police, who “were only really focusing on people who looked particularly young”.

Cannabis seeds were openly and legally sold at the event and a hydroponics supplier brought a motortrike towing an advertising trailer. Actually growing cannabis is, however, illegal in the UK.

With the event openly advocating the legalisation of cannabis, speakers put their arguments for this to a receptive crowd. Retired police officer James Duffy, of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, spoke of the failed United States alcohol prohibition policy; stressing such policies needlessly bring people into contact with criminal elements. Highlighting other countries where legalisation has been implemented, he pointed out such led to lower crime, and lower drug use overall.

One speaker, who produced a bottle of cannabis oil he had received through the post, asserted this cured his prostate cancer. Others highlighted the current use of Sativex by the National Health Service, with a cost in-excess of £150 for a single bottle of GW Pharmaceuticals patented spray — as-compared to the oil shown to the crowd, with a manufacturing cost of approximately £10.

Similar ‘420’ pro-cannabis events were held globally.
