Echoes of Love Lyrics
Jesse & Joy
Im wide awake in a dream, you won't let me fall asleep
Cause I smell your skin on my pillow
I see your face in the dark falling like a shooting star
I wish for you at my window
I still feel you lying here with me
I still here the sound of your heart beat
Nothing left to say now, every word is worn out
You and I are almost gone, fading like a broken song
And If I really listen, I hear you in the distance
Baby all we've got left of us are echoes of love, love.
Picture perfect memories on my walls hunting me
I see your smile in the breakdown
Feel you far away, so close.
I'm holding on but you let go, you let go
Nothing left to say now, every word is worn out
You and I are almost gone, fading like a broken song
And If I really listen, I hear you in the distance
Baby all we've got left of us are echoes of love, echoes of love.
They go on and on and on and on and on
They go on and on and on and on and on
Nothing left to say now, every word is worn out
You and I are almost gone, fading like a broken song
And If I really listen, I hear you in the distance
Baby all we've got left of us are echoes of love, echoes of love.
echoes of love, echoes of love

Botox Vs Fillers: Here's everything you need to know
Francesca Rice
07:00 | 12 Jun 2015
BOTOX:
Dr Tapan Patel, from the PHI Clinic, gives us the lowdown…
What is Botox and how does it work?
Botulinum toxin, is a natural, purified protein that is used to temporarily relax facial muscles that cause lines and wrinkles. It can also be used to treat medical conditions such as hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). Botox is the original and best-known brand name and the most tested product on the market. It is the result of many decades of studies and has been used extensively in medicine. It is the safest product, and it is certified in the medical and cosmetic field.
What does the treatment involve?
While there is no real downtime associated with this treatment, it is important to note that you may encounter some slight bruising and swelling directly after treatment, due to the needle. This can easily be masked by makeup. There are no long-term side effects of having wrinkle injections, meaning patients can resume their usual activities straight away, and can also fly post-treatment.
Who would this treatment suit?
This treatment can be used on a wide range of patients, and is primarily used for skin rejuvenation and the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. Botulinum toxin is injected into muscles and used to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) for a short period of time. It can also be injected into the area around the side of the eyes to improve the look of moderate to severe crow’s feet lines.
Who should avoid this treatment?
Those who have medical conditions, such as damaged nerves or muscle complaints, should disclose this information during consultation, to avoid any complications. Treatment is not advisable for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. While there are no clinical studies to show that the injection is harmful to the baby or mother, medical professionals advise against having treatment under these circumstances.
What results does the treatment aim to provide?
The treatment is used to soften the lines caused by facial expression and can be adjusted to ensure natural results. The duration of results is variable in between individuals but ranges from 3 to 6 months.
Typically, patients will come into the clinic and point to a specific line that they don’t like. Good practitioners shouldn’t just look at treating this specific line, but will look beyond the line at how the face looks as a whole (as treating an individual line might make the face look unnatural). Sometimes patients come in and say their colleagues and friends keep telling them that they look tired or grumpy when this isn’t the case. In these cases, it’s usually not a single line that is creating this impression, but multiple factors, and the practitioner should talk through treatment options with the patient.
What are the key questions to ask your consultant before considering a treatment?
- What qualifications do you have?
- Which brands of products do you use and why?
- Has the product been extensively tested and researched?
- How satisfied are your patients with the results? Do you have any examples of before and after pictures you could show me?
- What are the potential side effects?
- What after-care will I be given?
Average price of treatment:
Treatment starts from £195.
FILLERS:
Dr Alison Telfer, from The Glasshouse Clinic, gives us the lowdown…
What are Fillers and how do they work?
As we age, the natural collagen and elastin in the skin lessens, as cells lose their ability to produce more of their youthful component. The skin becomes dryer, thinner and less able to fix itself. When we are born, we have plentiful amounts of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) in our body, but as we get older this store of HA diminishes, leaving the skin less well supported, and so lines and wrinkles develop. By lifting and smoothing targeted folds and wrinkles by adding subtle volume, dermal fillers can make a difference to a person's appearance, giving them a fresher look.
The treatment of wrinkles with dermal filler will usually involve injecting this naturally occurring product (HA) through a tiny needle. The discomfort is minimal as the treatment does not take long to perform. The aesthetic outcomes of treatments with dermal filler are seen immediately after the treatment. Treating wrinkles with dermal filler is fast, leaving no scars. The Juvéderm range of fillers contains a variety of products, which can be used to treat different areas, from fine lines on more delicate parts of the face to deep skin depressions.
You can also treat your lips with lip fillers to add extra volume. Today’s sophisticated fillers are made of Hyaluronic Acid (or HA), which is a substance that’s found naturally in the body, making it much safer than previous procedures.
What does the treatment involve?
The procedure takes around 30-45 minutes and patients can expect to notice the effects for as long as 18 months after treatment. There is even precedence of results lasting up to 24 months in some cases, however, treatment with fillers is completely reversible. With any injectable treatment, there can be some slight bruising or swelling that accompanies it. This should not persist much longer than a day, and is easily coverable with makeup.
Who would this treatment suit?
Facial fillers can be used on a wide range of patients, and are primarily used for skin rejuvenation and the reduction of lines and wrinkles. Other suitable candidates are those seeking to add structure and volume to the face. I see a lot of patients who have lost volume in their face due to living a very active, high impact lifestyle (such as runners). Fillers help to restore the volume loss that naturally begins to occur when we reach our late thirties, and in turn gives a fresher, brighter appearance.
Who should avoid this treatment?
There is no known risk to those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, but we would advise against having treatment under these circumstances.
What results does the treatment aim to provide?
The results should be subtle, leaving our friends and family believing that we are simply looking our best and great for our years. Treatment lasts between 18-24 months but, naturally, towards the end of this period the effects begin to gradually soften, so there is no dramatic change. When the effects begin to soften, we aim to ‘top up' the treatment.
Patients will often come in to the clinic and point to a specific line that they don’t like. Good practitioners shouldn’t just look at treating this specific line, but will look beyond it to how the face looks as a whole, since treating an individual line could make the patient look unnatural. Sometimes the patient will say that people tell them they look sad, tired or grumpy when this isn't really the case. In these instances, it’s usually not a single line that is causing this impression but multiple factors and the practitioner should discuss treatment options with the patient. It is really key that you feel safe and reassured by your chosen practitioner: a partnership should develop where you can speak freely about what concerns you, as this will allow the practitioner to truly understand your hopes and desired outcomes.

Anger management: 10 tips to tame your temper
Keeping your temper in check can be challenging. Use simple anger management tips — from taking a timeout to using "I" statements — to stay in control.
By Mayo Clinic Staff
Do you fume when someone cuts you off in traffic? Does your blood pressure rocket when your child refuses to cooperate? Anger is a normal and even healthy emotion — but it's important to deal with it in a positive way. Uncontrolled anger can take a toll on both your health and your relationships.
Ready to get your anger under control? Start by considering these 10 anger management tips.
1. Think before you speak
In the heat of the moment, it's easy to say something you'll later regret. Take a few moments to collect your thoughts before saying anything — and allow others involved in the situation to do the same.
2. Once you're calm, express your anger
As soon as you're thinking clearly, express your frustration in an assertive but nonconfrontational way. State your concerns and needs clearly and directly, without hurting others or trying to control them.
3. Get some exercise
Physical activity can help reduce stress that can cause you to become angry. If you feel your anger escalating, go for a brisk walk or run, or spend some time doing other enjoyable physical activities.
4. Take a timeout
Timeouts aren't just for kids. Give yourself short breaks during times of the day that tend to be stressful. A few moments of quiet time might help you feel better prepared to handle what's ahead without getting irritated or angry.
5. Identify possible solutions
Instead of focusing on what made you mad, work on resolving the issue at hand. Does your child's messy room drive you crazy? Close the door. Is your partner late for dinner every night? Schedule meals later in the evening — or agree to eat on your own a few times a week. Remind yourself that anger won't fix anything and might only make it worse.
6. Stick with 'I' statements
To avoid criticizing or placing blame — which might only increase tension — use "I" statements to describe the problem. Be respectful and specific. For example, say, "I'm upset that you left the table without offering to help with the dishes," instead of, "You never do any housework."
7. Don't hold a grudge
Forgiveness is a powerful tool. If you allow anger and other negative feelings to crowd out positive feelings, you might find yourself swallowed up by your own bitterness or sense of injustice. But if you can forgive someone who angered you, you might both learn from the situation. It's unrealistic to expect everyone to behave exactly as you want at all times.
8. Use humor to release tension
Lightening up can help diffuse tension. Use humor to help you face what's making you angry and, possibly, any unrealistic expectations you have for how things should go. Avoid sarcasm, though — it can hurt feelings and make things worse.
9. Practice relaxation skills
When your temper flares, put relaxation skills to work. Practice deep-breathing exercises, imagine a relaxing scene, or repeat a calming word or phrase, such as, "Take it easy." You might also listen to music, write in a journal or do a few yoga poses — whatever it takes to encourage relaxation.
10. Know when to seek help
Learning to control anger is a challenge for everyone at times. Consider seeking help for anger issues if your anger seems out of control, causes you to do things you regret or hurts those around you.

Top 10 Ways to Lead by Example
By Carl Golden
Good leaders must lead by example. By walking your talk, you become a person others want to follow. When leaders say one thing, but do another, they erode trust--a critical element of productive leadership. Here are 10 of the many ways to lead by example.
1. Take responsibility. Blame costs you your credibility, keeps team members on the defensive and ultimately sabotages real growth.
2. Be truthful. Inaccurate representation affects everyone. Show that honesty really IS the best policy.
3. Be courageous. Walk through fire (a crisis) first. Take calculated risks that demonstrate commitment to a larger purpose.
4. Acknowledge failure. It makes it OK for your team to do the same and defines failure as part of the process of becoming extraordinary.
5. Be persistent. Try, try again. Go over, under or around any hurdles to show that obstacles don’t define your company or team.
6. Create solutions. Don’t dwell on problems; instead be the first to offer solutions and then ask your team for more.
7. Listen. Ask questions. Seek to understand. You’ll receive valuable insights and set a tone that encourages healthy dialogue.
8. Delegate liberally. Encourage an atmosphere in which people can focus on their core strengths.
9. Take care of yourself. Exercise, don’t overwork, take a break. A balanced team, mentally and physically, is a successful team. Model it, encourage it, support it!
10. Roll up your sleeves. Like Alexander the Great leading his men into battle, you’ll inspire greatness in your company.

ネタはノリ、言葉は生き物なんですよ Ｍ－１王者 トレンディエンジェル
2016年07月03日 11時10分
若手漫才日本一を決める昨年の「Ｍ‐１グランプリ」で見事優勝したトレンディエンジェルの斎藤司さんとたかしさん。今やテレビに引っ張りだこの２人です。今月には大会で競い合ったライバルたちと競演するライブを福岡県内２カ所で行い、１０月には初のＤＶＤも発売されます。今、乗りに乗っている２人をＧＥＴ！
－そもそもなぜ、お笑いに？
★斎藤 ジャニーズに入りたいなと思って。面白いと言われていたのというのもあったし、お笑い芸人は楽そうだな、楽しそうだなと思って。
★たかし 僕は高校の同級生に誘われて。アイドルが好きだったので、アイドルに会えるなら入ろうかな、っていう。
－斎藤さんはジャニーズは諦められたのですか。
★斎藤 いや、まだ諦めていません。その先入観はちょっと、はい。今まっすぐ向かってますから。その方向に。今に分かると思います。
－たかしさんはアイドルに会うという目標は？
★たかし ま、いろいろ会ってますね。最終ゴールは井上真央ちゃんなんで。まだ会ってないんですよ。ちょっと松潤（嵐の松本潤）と噂があるので、結婚する前に会わないと意味がない。
★斎藤 ふーん、意味がないんだ。
－Ｍ‐１は自信があったんですか。
★斎藤 （視聴者投票の）敗者復活戦は、その日の出来より人気投票なので。ネットとかでファンの支持はありましたから自信はありました。（審査員が選ぶ）決勝は自分たちのネタがひどかったし、他のみなさんがすごかったので。でも、お客さんが笑ってくれて。
★たかし 他の組がコケた、みたいな。
★斎藤 納得していない方もおられるかもしれませんが、Ｍ－１って、そういう大会なので。
－優勝して、仕事は激増？
★斎藤 （劇場公演などの）営業は時間がかかるのでむしろ減ってテレビの仕事がむちゃくちゃ増えました。
★たかし もう、立ち小便はできないですね。ＡＫＢグループも好きなんですけど、休みがないから劇場に行けてません。オタクは暇がないとできないんで。
－トレンディさんというと斎藤さんが自分を誇示する「斎藤さんだぞ」とか、薄毛をいじる「ハゲラッチョ」などのギャグが思い浮かびますが。
★斎藤 作る、という感覚はないですね。ノリです。２人でネタ合わせとかしている時に、決まった台本とかあるじゃないんですか。その台本の中に自分の中でなんかここ言いたいな、と思った時にアドリブで入れることが結構あるんですよ。「斎藤さんだぞ」なんかまさにそうで。「ふざけんじゃねぇ」っていう思いをなんかその、ずっと持ってたんです。「ふざけんじゃねぇ。誰だとおもってんだよ、斎藤さんだぞ」とライブでいきなりやったんです。そしたらウケて。６、７年前ですね。先輩が「意味分かんないけど面白いね」と言ってくれて。
★たかし そういうのって、事前に紙に書いておこしても面白いことじゃないですよね。
★斎藤 だから漫才って不思議なもので。やっぱ言葉は生き物なんですよ。
－薄毛ネタって、お笑いではありかもしれないですけど、自分の欠点を取り上げるというのは…
★斎藤 欠点ではないんですね。幸い、他の人たちの中では欠点なんですけど、ハゲって。それを僕はいじっているだけで。価値観の違いなんですよ。みんなにとっては欠点なんでしょうけど、僕にとっては欠点でもなんでもない。ハゲという地位というか価値観をもっとフラットにしていきたいんですよ。
－１８日に福岡県であるライブ「Ｍ－１グランプリツアー」はそうそうたる顔触れですね。そして１０月には初の単独全国ツアーを収録したＤＶＤ発売ですね。
★斎藤 そうですね。いよいよ。僕ら人の歌とか歌うのがすごく多いんで、ＤＶＤがちゃんと出せるかはその辺の著作権との戦いです。
▼トレンディエンジェル 斎藤司＝さいとうつかさ（写真右）、１９７９年２月１５日生まれ、横浜市出身＝と、たかし＝８６年１月３０日生まれ、東京都出身＝の２人組。２００４年結成。Ｍ‐１グランプリツアーは福岡県筑後市のサザンクス筑後と同県朝倉市のピーポート甘木であるが、チケットは売り切れ。全国ツアーの千秋楽・東京公演（８月１４日）を収録したＤＶＤは１０月２６日にリリース予定。３０００円。
