State Alcohol Laws, Public Health Discussed at Annual Alcohol Law and Policy Conference

CHICAGO – The Center for Alcohol Policy (CAP) Eighth Annual Alcohol Law and Policy Conference kicked off day two at the Hyatt Chicago Magnificent Mile in Chicago, Illinois, with keynote remarks by South Dakota Attorney General and National Association of Attorneys General President Marty Jackley.

This annual event brings together a wide range of alcohol policy experts – including attorneys, current and former alcohol regulators, legislators, law enforcement, public health advocates and other experts – to discuss and debate current alcohol laws and challenges.

Attorney General Jackley detailed the role of state attorneys general in alcohol policy debates and the importance of policies that safeguard against the abuse of alcohol.

Since taking office in 2009, Attorney General Jackley has been committed to fighting crime, strengthening public safety and making South Dakota a safer place to live. Now serving his second term, Attorney General Jackley continues to implement programs aimed at protecting the citizens of South Dakota. To that end, he has worked to expand South Dakota’s 24/7 Alcohol Sobriety and Monitoring Program across the state and nation, which has proven successful in reducing the likelihood for alcohol re-offenses.

Center for Alcohol Policy Advisor and Former Chairman of the National Traffic Safety Board James Hall led a discussion on how to measure the efficacy of U.S. alcohol control policies, which included insights from Dr. William Kerr of the Public Health Institute and Toben Nelson, associate professor of epidemiology and community health at the University of Minnesota.

The conference concluded with a panel of state legislators discussing alcohol legislation, economic development and public health. Center for Alcohol Policy Executive Director Mike Lashbrook moderated the discussion with Illinois House of Representatives Majority Leader Louis Lang, Pennsylvania State Senator Chuck McIlhinney and Michigan State Senate Regulatory Reform Committee Chairman Tory Rocca, who shared the lessons they’ve learned from debating legislation that appropriately balances economic growth with public health concerns.

The legislators discussed efforts to weigh competing state interests related to law enforcement, public health, orderly markets, taxation and jobs.

Lesson: Introduction to Alcohol Policy

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

What is alcohol policy?
Alcohol policy refers to the rules, laws, and regulations that govern the production, sale, and consumption of alcoholic beverages. These policies are designed to minimize the negative impact of alcohol on individuals and society while maximizing its potential benefits.

Why do we need alcohol policy?
Alcohol can have both positive and negative effects on individuals and society. Alcohol policy aims to balance these effects by regulating the production, sale, and consumption of alcohol. This includes setting age limits, restricting advertising, and controlling the availability of alcohol.

How does alcohol policy impact public health?
Alcohol policy can have a significant impact on public health. For example, limiting the number of alcohol outlets in a community can reduce alcohol-related harms such as drunk driving and violence. Additionally, policies that restrict alcohol advertising can reduce the appeal of alcohol to young people, thereby reducing underage drinking.

### Section 2: Practical Examples

Real-world example: How does alcohol policy impact public health in Chicago?
In Chicago, alcohol policy plays a significant role in public health. For example, the city has strict rules governing the sale of alcohol, including limits on the number of liquor licenses available and restrictions on where alcohol can be sold. Additionally, the city has implemented programs aimed at reducing drunk driving and underage drinking.

Practice question: How might alcohol policy impact public health in a rural community?
In a rural community, alcohol policy could impact public health in several ways. For example, if there are few alcohol outlets in the community, this could reduce alcohol-related harms such as drunk driving and violence. On the other hand, if there are many alcohol outlets, this could lead to increased alcohol consumption and related problems. Additionally, if there are few programs aimed at reducing underage drinking or addressing alcohol addiction, this could lead to more significant public health issues.

### Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

Discussion topic: Should alcohol advertising be restricted?
There are pros and cons to restricting alcohol advertising. On one hand, alcohol advertising can make alcohol more appealing to young people, leading to underage drinking and addiction. On the other hand, alcohol advertising is a form of free speech protected by the First Amendment. Additionally, alcohol producers have a right to promote their products like any other legal business.

### Glossary

Alcohol: A chemical substance found in beer, wine, and spirits that causes drunkenness, impairs judgment, and can damage organs.

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about certifications and why they are important. We will explore what MPS and MPS-GAP certifications mean, and how they relate to sustainability and reliability. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand the importance of certifications and how they impact the environment and society.

Section 1: What are Certifications?
Certifications are a way to show that a product or service meets certain standards. They are usually given by a third-party organization that has checked the product or service to make sure it meets the standards. Certifications can be given for many things, like environmental practices, safety, or quality.

Section 2: What do MPS and MPS-GAP Certifications Mean?
MPS stands for "More Products with Less Processing." It means that the company uses fewer resources to make their products. MPS-GAP stands for "Global Aquaculture Alliance's Best Aquaculture Practices." This means that the company follows certain rules to make sure their products are safe and don't harm the environment.

Section 3: Why are Certifications Important?
Certifications are important because they show that a company is doing things the right way. They help companies meet environmental and social responsibilities. When a company is certified, it means that they are committed to doing things in a sustainable and responsible way.

Section 4: How do Certifications Relate to Sustainability and Reliability?
Certifications relate to sustainability and reliability because they show that a company is doing things in a way that is good for the environment and society. When a company is certified, it means that they are using resources wisely and not harming the environment. This makes them more reliable as a company that cares about the environment and society.

Lesson: The Importance of Research and Accuracy in Flag Design

Introduction:
Flags are important symbols that represent a country or organization. They are often used to show national pride, unity, and identity. However, creating a flag that accurately represents a country requires careful research and attention to detail. In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of research and accuracy in flag design.

Section 1: The Importance of Research

Research is an essential part of creating any design, including flag design. It involves gathering information about a country's history, culture, and people to create a design that accurately represents them. Here are some reasons why research is important in flag design:

1. Accurate Representation: A flag should accurately represent the country it represents. This means that the colors, symbols, and design elements should be chosen carefully to reflect the country's history, culture, and people. Research helps designers understand these aspects and create an accurate representation.

2. Avoiding Cultural Appropriation: Research helps designers avoid cultural appropriation, which is the use of cultural elements from one culture by members of another culture. This can be offensive and disrespectful to the original culture. By researching a country's culture, designers can avoid using symbols that may be offensive or disrespectful.

3. Avoiding Misrepresentation: Research helps designers avoid misrepresenting a country's image. For example, if a country has a complex history, designers should avoid using symbols that may be seen as glorifying a particular aspect of that history. Research helps designers understand the complexities of a country's history and avoid misrepresenting it.

Section 2: The Importance of Accuracy

Accuracy is also crucial in flag design. A flag should accurately reflect the country's history, culture, and people. Here are some reasons why accuracy is important in flag design:

1. Historical Accuracy: A flag should accurately reflect the country's history. This means that the symbols and design elements should be chosen carefully to reflect significant events, people, or ideas from the country's past. Accuracy helps ensure that the flag accurately represents the country's history.

2. Cultural Accuracy: A flag should accurately reflect the country's culture. This means that the symbols and design elements should be chosen carefully to reflect the country's customs, traditions, and values. Accuracy helps ensure that the flag accurately represents the country's culture.

3. Aesthetic Accuracy: A flag should be visually appealing and aesthetically pleasing. This means that the colors, symbols, and design elements should be chosen carefully to create a balanced and harmonious design. Accuracy helps ensure that the flag looks good and is visually appealing.

Section 3: Conclusion

In conclusion, research and accuracy are essential in flag design. By researching a country's history, culture, and people, designers can create an accurate representation that accurately reflects the country's identity. By ensuring accuracy in the symbols, design elements, and overall design, designers can create a flag that is visually appealing and respectful of the country's culture. By applying these principles, designers can create flags that accurately represent their countries and inspire pride and unity among their people.

Glossary:
- Flag: A symbol that represents a country or organization, usually consisting of a rectangular piece of cloth with specific colors, symbols, and design elements.
- Symbol: A representation of a concept, idea, or object, often used to convey meaning or identity.
- Design Elements: The individual components of a design, such as lines, shapes, and colors.
- Culture: The customs, beliefs, values, and behaviors of a group of people.
- Aesthetics: The study of beauty and artistic design.

Self-Debate Discussion:

1. Why is it important for a flag to accurately represent a country's history, culture, and people?
2. How can research help designers avoid cultural appropriation and misrepresentation in flag design?
3. What are some examples of historical and cultural elements that could be included in a flag design to accurately represent a country?

The mayor of Hoboken, N.J., Dawn Zimmer, said she met Sunday with federal prosecutors who are investigating her allegation that New Jersey Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno threatened to withhold federal funds that could have helped her city recover from Superstorm Sandy.

Zimmer said she met with the lawyers from the U.S. attorney's office in Newark, N.J., and gave them diary entries and other documents that supported her allegations. In an interview after the meeting, Zimmer repeated her assertion that Guadagno told her in May that for the city to receive federal aid controlled by the state, she had to support a real-estate project in Hoboken that was important to Gov. Chris Christie.

"They came and they made a direct threat," Zimmer said, referring to Guadagno and another state official. She said she believed that Hoboken would have received much more of the post-storm aid state that officials handed out if she had done as she had been told and switched to supporting the development project.

The U.S. attorney for New Jersey, Paul Fishman, had already begun a review of allegations that associates of Christie sought to punish the mayor of Fort Lee, N.J., in September by ordering the closing of lanes of traffic leading from his borough to the George Washington Bridge. Rebekah Carmichael, a spokeswoman for Fishman, declined to comment on Zimmer's assertions.

The explosive new allegations, which the mayor first made on MSNBC on Saturday, spurred furious rebuttals from state officials Sunday.

They argued that Hoboken had not been shortchanged on federal aid to help it recover from the widespread flooding it suffered after Superstorm Sandy struck in October 2012.

"Hoboken has in no way trailed similarly situated communities in the receipt of rebuilding funds," the governor's office said in a statement.

But Zimmer continued Sunday to contend that relief money her city deserved had been held hostage by state officials. She said Guadagno took her aside in a Hoboken parking lot in May and told her the aid was tied to her support of the development project, but that she would deny she ever said so.

Zimmer said she came forward with the allegations eight months later because the scandal that erupted over the punitive traffic jams in nearby Fort Lee spurred her to talk.

"I probably should have come forward in May when this happened," Zimmer said. But she said she feared Hoboken would not get its fair share of future aid for rebuilding and fortifying against storms.

Three Revolutionary New Hemp Technologies for a Better Environment

Three Revolutionary New Hemp Technologies for a Better Environment

Hemp has been reported to have some of the most diverse uses out of any plant currently known. One new use for hemp is as a raw material for biofuels, namely as cellulosic ethanol, which unlike other methods of making biofuels, uses a plant’s cellulose instead of the oil or sugar it contains to produce a fuel. While corn-based ethanol has been shown to be no better for the environment than burning fossil fuels, cellulosic ethanol is much closer to being carbon-neutral. Cellulose is what forms the structure of green plants, everything from grass to trees. Professor George Huber, at the University of Wisconsin, has found a way to convert the cellulose from the non-usable parts of plants, such as yard waste, compost scraps, or wood debris into ethanol and other bio-oils. “The goal of the Huber research group is to develop the clean technology that will allow us to economically use our biomass and other sustainable resources for the production of cheap renewable gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, and chemicals.”

Professor Huber’s work is revolutionary because it will allow cities to turn a large portion of their garbage into fuel that can power buses and other city vehicles. Clearly, waste material alone will not be enough to switch our current fossil fuel economy to a grassoline economy, which is where hemp comes in. Hemp is ideal as a fuel-stock for cellulosic ethanol for several reasons. Hemp has an exceptionally high cellulose content, it grows very quickly allowing for multiple harvests per year, it can be grown in nearly all climates, it is drought resistant, frost resistant, pest resistant, and unlike other fuel-stocks like switchgrass, hemp has edible seeds which can be harvested allowing for two harvests from one crop. While switchgrass may grow quickly like hemp, it’s cellulose content is roughly half that of hemp, which has a higher cellulose content than wood.

Currently, while bio-oils can be produced for under $1 a gallon, they faces several issues in being adopted widely around the country. Bio-oils cannot be used in existing gasoline and diesel fuel engines because they have lower energy densities and a higher oxygen content. Bio-oils are also nearly-insoluble with petroleum fuels, making it impossible to have a flex-fuel vehicle that uses a combination of each. Finally, bio-oils degrade over time and are acidic with a pH of 2.5, limiting options in fuel storage. If sugars are added to bio-oils to ferment them into cellulosic ethanol, there are additional challenges, such as the need for sterile conditions, the lengthy residence time of the chemicals, and the distillation of ethanol from water is very energy intensive. Professor Huber is already working on solutions to these problems, while he does, hemp’s exceptionally high cellulose content coupled with fast growth and low costs to grow make it ideal for more than just bio-fuels.

Since hemp has a higher cellulose content than trees and grows much faster than even the fastest growing trees, it is a much better candidate for paper than current lumber options, such as pine. The world currently produces over 400 million tons of paper every year, imagine if all of that was easily replanted hemp instead of trees which take years to grow to maturity. Beyond paper, hemp’s higher cellulose content makes it better than wood for building the homes of the future, which cannot sustainably be made from wood alone. Hempcrete has been around in other countries since the 1960s, but is it quite new to America due to the federal ban on industrial hemp production, only recently lifted. Hempcrete is remarkably strong yet also very lightweight, about 1/7th the weight of concrete. Now, America’s first hemp house has been built in North Carolina, and it may also be the first carbon-neutral house in the country. According to the Limecrete Company, a UK based hempcrete manufacturer, hempcrete is carbon negative because “the carbon trapped in the hemp offsets the carbon not only of the hemp production but also the residual carbon from the lime production after re-absorption of carbon as the lime cures.”

Hemp can replace more than paper, wood, and oil, it can also replace everything we currently make out of oil including plastics. Zeoform is a new type of plastic that uses hemp-derived cellulose mixed with other recycled fibers and water to form a 100% recycled plastic. The density can be changed to make Zeoform suitable for all sorts of industries, everything from aviation and automotive, to musical instruments and McDonalds toys. Zeoform and hempcrete will not stop the steady onslaught of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change on their own, but they mark the beginnings of a trend towards widespread use of more environmentally friendly raw materials, and may also sequester CO2 emissions rather than create them. Thanks to modern science and technologies, like cellulosic ethanol, humanity may be approaching another time when we can declare Hemp for Victory, as we did in World War II.

Lesson 1: Introduction to Hemp Technologies

**Objective:** To introduce students to the concept of hemp technologies and their potential benefits for the environment.

**Materials:** None

**Introduction:** In this lesson, we will learn about three revolutionary new hemp technologies that can help improve our environment. Hemp has many uses, including as a raw material for biofuels and other eco-friendly products.

**Section 1: What is Hemp?**

Hemp is a plant that belongs to the Cannabis family. It is known for its versatility and has been used for thousands of years for a variety of purposes, including clothing, food, and medicine. Hemp is also known for its ability to grow quickly and thrive in different climates.

**Section 2: Three Hemp Technologies**

1. Biofuels: One new use for hemp is as a raw material for biofuels, specifically cellulosic ethanol. Unlike other methods of making biofuels, cellulosic ethanol uses a plant's cellulose instead of its oil or sugar to produce fuel. This type of ethanol is much closer to being carbon-neutral than corn-based ethanol.

2. Bioplastics: Another hemp technology is the production of bioplastics. These are plastics made from renewable biomass sources, such as vegetation, rather than petroleum. Hemp can be used to create bioplastics that are biodegradable, meaning they break down naturally over time and do not harm the environment.

3. Carbon Capture: Finally, hemp can be used to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This process, called carbon sequestration, involves growing hemp plants that absorb carbon dioxide from the air as they grow. When the hemp is harvested and burned, the carbon dioxide is released back into the atmosphere, but the process can be repeated multiple times, helping to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

**Section 3: Conclusion**

In this lesson, we learned about three revolutionary new hemp technologies that have the potential to improve our environment. By using hemp for biofuels, bioplastics, and carbon capture, we can reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and help combat climate change. These technologies are just a few examples of how hemp can be used to create a better future for ourselves and our planet.

Lesson: Building Resilient Children
Introduction:
Resilience is the ability to bounce back from difficult situations and challenges. It is an essential life skill that helps children navigate through life's ups and downs. This lesson will teach you how to build resilient children by understanding the concept of resilience, its importance, and ways to develop it in your child.
Section 1: Understanding Resilience
**What is resilience?**
Resilience is the ability to cope with stress and adversity. It is the capacity to adapt, recover, and grow from difficult experiences. Resilient children are better equipped to handle life's challenges and are more likely to lead happy, healthy lives.
**Why is resilience important?**
Resilience is crucial because it helps children:
- Cope with stress and adversity
- Bounce back from setbacks
- Develop a positive outlook on life
- Build strong relationships
- Achieve their goals
- Overcome obstacles
Section 2: Building Resilience in Children
**How can I build resilience in my child?**
There are several ways to build resilience in children:
1. Model resilience: Children learn from example. If you are resilient, your child will learn to be resilient too.
2. Encourage independence: Encourage your child to try new things, take risks, and learn from mistakes.
3. Teach problem-solving skills: Help your child develop problem-solving skills by teaching them to identify problems, brainstorm solutions, and evaluate options.
4. Foster a growth mindset: Help your child develop a growth mindset by teaching them that intelligence and abilities can be developed over time.
5. Build self-esteem: Help your child build self-esteem by praising effort and progress, rather than intelligence or talent.
6. Provide support and guidance: Be there for your child during difficult times, but don't solve their problems for them. Guide them towards solutions, but let them figure it out on their own.
Section 3: Practical Examples
**Example 1: Teaching problem-solving skills**
Your child comes home from school upset because they failed a test. Instead of solving the problem for them, ask open-ended questions to help them come up with their solution:
- Why do you think you failed the test?
- What steps can you take to prepare better next time?
- What resources can you use to improve your grades?
**Example 2: Encouraging independence**
Your child wants to try out for the school play, but they're nervous about auditioning. Instead of telling them not to worry, encourage them to go for it:
- That sounds like a great opportunity!
- You've got the talent and the courage to do it.
- I believe in you!
Conclusion:
Building resilience in children is essential for their mental, emotional, and physical well-being. By understanding the concept of resilience, its importance, and ways to develop it in your child, you can help them become stronger, more confident individuals who can overcome life's challenges. Remember to model resilience, encourage independence, teach problem-solving skills, foster a growth mindset, build self-esteem, and provide support and guidance. With these tools, your child will be well on their way to becoming a resilient, confident, and successful adult.

Lesson: Materials and their Properties

Introduction:
Materials are substances that are used to create objects, structures, and machines. They have different properties that make them suitable for specific purposes. In this lesson, we will learn about materials and their properties, including their strength, durability, and resistance to heat and cold. We will also explore how these properties can affect the performance of a product or structure.

Section 1: Introduction to Materials

**Topic 1: Types of Materials**
There are several types of materials, including metals, plastics, ceramics, and composites. Each type has unique properties that make it suitable for specific applications. For example, metals are strong and durable, while plastics are lightweight and flexible. Ceramics are hard and brittle, while composites combine the properties of multiple materials to create a product with specific characteristics.

**Topic 2: Strength and Durability**
Strength refers to a material's ability to withstand weight or force without breaking. Durability refers to how long a material can last before it becomes damaged or worn out. Some materials are stronger and more durable than others. For example, steel is stronger than wood, but wood is more durable because it can withstand moisture and decay better than steel.

Section 2: Properties of Materials

**Topic 3: Resistance to Heat and Cold**
Some materials have excellent resistance to heat and cold, making them suitable for use in extreme environments. For example, ceramics have a high melting point and can withstand very hot temperatures, while some plastics can withstand freezing temperatures without becoming brittle.

**Topic 4: Strength and Stiffness**
Strength and stiffness are related but distinct properties. Strength refers to a material's ability to withstand weight or force without breaking, while stiffness refers to how much a material can bend or deform before breaking. Some materials are both strong and stiff, while others are either strong but not stiff or stiff but not strong.

Section 3: Applications of Materials

**Topic 5: Examples of Materials in Everyday Life**
Materials are used in many everyday products, including smartphones, cars, buildings, and clothing. For example, steel is used to build skyscrapers, while plastic is used to make water bottles and car parts. Ceramics are used in cookware and tiles, while composites are used in airplanes and sports equipment.

**Topic 6: Conclusion**
In conclusion, materials and their properties are essential in determining the performance and longevity of products and structures.

Lesson: The Role of Women in Medieval Society

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will explore the role of women in medieval society. We will learn about the different situations women found themselves in during this time period, including nuns, married women, peasants, noblewomen, townswomen, and those involved in heretical movements and witchcraft. We will also examine the attitudes towards women and their status in Western Europe between the 12th and 15th centuries.

Section 1: The Fourth Estate
The term "Fourth Estate" refers to the idea that women constituted a fourth social class or estate in medieval society, alongside the clergy, nobility, and common people. This idea was first proposed by the French historian, Henri de Saint-Simon, in the early 19th century. We will examine the evidence for this claim and consider whether women really did have a distinct role in medieval society.

Questions and Answers:
- What is the Fourth Estate?
- Did women really constitute a fourth estate in medieval society?
- If so, in what sense?

Section 2: Attitudes Towards Women
During the Middle Ages, attitudes towards women varied widely depending on their social status, location, and religious beliefs. We will explore some of these attitudes and consider how they affected the lives of women during this time period.

Questions and Answers:
- How did attitudes towards women vary during the Middle Ages?
- What were the factors that influenced these attitudes?
- How did these attitudes affect the lives of women?

Section 3: Women in Medieval Society
We will now turn our attention to the different roles that women played in medieval society. We will consider the experiences of nuns, married women, peasants, noblewomen, townswomen, and those involved in heretical movements and witchcraft.

Questions and Answers:
- What were the different roles that women played in medieval society?
- What were the experiences of nuns, married women, peasants, noblewomen, townswomen, and those involved in heretical movements and witchcraft?
- How did these roles differ depending on a woman's social status and location?

Glossary:
- Fourth Estate: A term coined by the French historian, Henri de Saint-Simon, referring to the idea that women constituted a fourth social class or estate in medieval society, alongside the clergy, nobility, and common people.
- Medieval: Referring to the period of European history from the 5th to the 15th century.
- Nobility: A social class comprising people who possess more wealth, higher social status, and special privileges, often by virtue of their birth.
- Peasant: A member of the lowest social class in medieval society, typically living in rural areas and working as a farmer or laborer.
- Witchcraft: The practice of magic or sorcery, often associated with evil or harmful intentions.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we have explored the role of women in medieval society, examining the evidence for the Fourth Estate and considering the attitudes towards women during this time period. We have also considered the different roles that women played in medieval society, including nuns, married women, peasants, noblewomen, townswomen, and those involved in heretical movements and witchcraft. By understanding these historical contexts, we can better appreciate the challenges faced by women in the past and work towards achieving greater gender equality in the present.

### Section 3: Practical Examples
Let's take a look at the following poem by William Wordsworth:

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of the lake,

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:

I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oftentimes when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

In this poem, Wordsworth uses simile and personification to create a vivid image of daffodils dancing in the breeze. He also uses repetition and alliteration to emphasize the beauty of the scene.

### Glossary
- Metaphor: A figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable.
- Simile: A figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another of a different kind, using "like" or "as".

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion in NYC

Microdermabrasion is a procedure for precise, controlled exfoliation of the superficial layer of the skin. This procedure can reveal younger-looking skin, improve discoloration, decrease pore size, and help prevent acne.

A Brightening, Toning, and Cleansing Treatment: How Does Microdermabrasion Work?

When you arrive for your microdermabrasion appointment, you’ll check in and be taken back to the procedure room. The process is relatively simple. An instrument with a diamond tip will be used to gently sweep your skin, removing the dead skin cells and revealing the fresh cells beneath. The instrument also vacuums the dead cells away from the face, leaving a clean, smooth appearance with no discomfort and minimal downtime. Pores will also be cleaned and decongested in the process, minimizing pore size. This is a New York City “lunchtime procedure”.

Getting Ready: How Should You Prepare for Your Microdermabrasion Appointment in NYC?

In the week leading up to your appointment, it’s important to avoid certain other treatments, such as facial waxing, laser treatments, threading, electrolysis, chemical peels or other exfoliating beauty treatments.

For five days before treatment, avoid injectable treatments like Botox and Juvederm

For three days before treatment, steer clear of topical retinoid and anti-aging skin creams, acne treatments, bleaches and excessive sun exposure.

The day of your appointment, avoid wearing makeup and be sure to arrive early enough to discuss any concerns with your dermatologist. Make it known if you suffer from facial or nasal herpes, also known as cold sores.

Aftercare: How Should You Protect Your Skin?

Don’t use any unapproved topical products for 72 hours following your treatment. You can use products that are recommended by your dermatologist, but avoid anything you're unsure about.

After 72 hours, you can begin using a gentle moisturizer and facial wash, such as Avene Tolerance Extreme and Elta MD Foaming face wash.

Don’t wear heavy makeup for the first few days.

Avoid excessive sun exposure for the first week. If you need to spend time outside, be sure to wear a sunscreen that offers broad-spectrum protection with SPF 30 or higher.

NYC Microdermabrasion Q&A

Can I go back to work immediately after a microdermabrasion treatment?

One of the biggest benefits of this type of treatment is that there is no downtime. Commonly referred to as a “lunchtime procedure”, you can go back to work on the same day. Other than a slight dryness or mild irritation, you should not experience any discomfort.

What are the benefits of Microdermabrasion over other procedures?

Microdermabrasion is effective and safe for use on the face, chest, back, arms, legs, and hands, whereas chemical peels and other treatments are only recommended for the face. If the right type of microdermabrasion machine is used, it can also reduce pore size by declogging congested pores. It also offers much less discomfort and a much less downtime than many other procedures.

Who should avoid Microdermabrasion?

The microdermabrasion treatment can be customized to meet the needs of the patient. For example, an older patient with thinner, weaker skin can receive a treatment that’s gentler than a younger patient with skin that isn’t very sensitive. However, people with certain skin conditions/disorders should avoid the procedure, so ask your dermatologist whether this procedure is right for you. If you suffer from a condition that leaves open sores or blisters on your face or lips, have recently been sunburned, or have an active rash/inflammation, your skin is likely too sensitive for the procedure. Ask your dermatologist about options for treating your condition. If you’re able to clear up the problem, you might qualify for microdermabrasion later.

How many treatments are required?

We recommend monthly microdermbrasion treatments for continued maintenance of decongested pores and vibrant, clear skin.

Will microdermabrasion remove scars?

The treatment may lessen the appearance of mild scars over time. However, it is not recommended for treating deep or large scars.

Does microdermabrasion works on acne scars, wrinkles, or blackheads?

Yes, microdermabrasion can help the brown discoloration that result from acne, and can even help with preventing or reducing acne by deep cleansing the skin. It can also reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles, large pores, and blackheads.

How soon will results appear?

You’ll notice an improvement in the look, feel, and texture of your skin right away. It might take serial treatments to noticeably reduce the appearance of discoloration.

WHY SHOULD I HAVE MICRODERMABRASION PERFORMED AT WALL STREET DERMATOLOGY?

We utilize the best of the medical-grade microdermabrasion system on the market. Our equipment is sterilized in a medical autoclave prior to every use, ensuring hygienic safety for all of our patients. Your procedure will also be performed by our dermatologist.

Lesson: Microdermabrasion

Introduction:
Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a handheld device to remove the outer layer of the skin. This procedure is used to improve the appearance of the skin by reducing the signs of aging, improving skin tone, and reducing the size of pores. In this lesson, we will learn about the benefits of microdermabrasion, how the procedure works, and how to prepare for the procedure.

As the diamond tips remove the outer layer of the skin, it also vacuums away the dead skin cells, leaving behind smoother, fresher-looking skin.

Preparing for Microdermabrasion:
Before undergoing a microdermabrasion treatment, it is essential to follow the instructions provided by your dermatologist or esthetician. Here are some general guidelines to follow:

1. Avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks before the treatment.

### Section 2: How does Ultherapy work?
Ultherapy works by using ultrasound energy to stimulate the body's natural production of collagen. Collagen is a protein that provides structure and strength to the skin. As we age, our collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles, sagging skin, and other signs of aging. Ultherapy's ultrasound energy penetrates deep into the skin, triggering the production of new collagen and elastin fibers, which help to tighten and smooth the skin.

Lesson: Introduction to Virtual Reality

Virtual Reality (VR) is an immersive technology that allows users to experience a computer-generated environment that feels like a real or physical world. It has gained popularity in recent years due to its ability to provide a unique and engaging experience. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of VR, its applications, and how it works.

**Section 1: What is Virtual Reality?**

Virtual Reality is a simulated experience that can be similar to or different from the real world. It immerses users in a completely artificial environment that they can interact with in a seemingly real or physical way using special electronic equipment, such as a headset or gloves.

**Section 2: Applications of Virtual Reality**

Virtual Reality has a wide range of applications across various industries, including gaming, education, healthcare, and tourism. Some of its applications include:

- Gaming: VR provides an immersive gaming experience that makes players feel like they are part of the game.
- Education: VR can transport students to different parts of the world or even the universe, allowing them to learn in an engaging and interactive way.
- Healthcare: VR can be used to treat medical conditions such as anxiety, pain, and phobias by providing a controlled environment for patients to confront their fears.
- Tourism: VR allows people to explore different destinations without leaving their homes, making it easier for them to plan trips and vacations.

**Section 3: How does Virtual Reality work?**

Virtual Reality works by presenting stereoscopic displays, one for each eye, which when viewed through special displays or headsets, create the illusion of depth and 3D. This is known as stereopsis. The displays also have a high refresh rate, which helps to prevent motion sickness and eye strain.

In addition to stereopsis, VR systems often include sensors that track the user's movement, allowing them to move around within the virtual environment. This is known as positional tracking. The system then adjusts the images displayed to match the user's movements, creating a more immersive experience.

**Section 4: Conclusion**

Virtual Reality is an exciting technology that has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with the world around us. By providing an immersive and engaging experience, VR has the power to transform various industries, from gaming to healthcare.

text: About Milk Products And Value For Chicken Food. During the past few years investigations have shown that the principal value of milk products in the ration of chicks has been to supply vitamin G for growth. In an experiment at the Washingotn agricultural experiment station, Pullman, it was shown that if the recommendations of the state college are followed with particular attention being paid to the use of abundant green alfalfa, it is possible and practical to eliminate milk products from the ration. It is necessary, however, to make a slight adjustment in the amount of protein since the removal of milk from the Washington chick ration will lower the protein somewhat. It was found that this protein could be satisfactorily supplied with Alaska herring fish meal.. Click tabs to swap between content that is broken into logical sections.
