“The magic finger technique” a simplified approach for more symmetric results in alar base resection
Alar base surgery is one of the most important and challenging steps of aesthetic rhinoplasty. While an ideally shaped alar base is the goal in a desired nose, nearly all patients have asymmetric nostrils preoperatively.
Ethnicity, trauma, cocaine use, or previous rhinoplasties are some factors affecting the width and shape of the nasal base.
After the conclusion of all planned rhinoplasty sequences and closure of the mid-columellarincision, we mark the midline inferior to the columella at the nasolabial junction and use acaliper to measure an equal distance from the mid-columellar point to the alar creases on eachside, and mark the medial points of the alar creases. Next we draw on the natural creasesbilaterally extending to 3 o’clock on the right side and 9 o‘clock on the left side as the limit ofthe lateral excisions to avoid scarring. We then gently depress the alae and alar-facial grooveswith the index finger and allow the formation of new creases superior to the original alarcreases in order to detect excess skin to remove. After marking, the resection was performed with a no. 15 blade. The excision was closed using 6-0 Prolene sutures.
We aimed to describe a simple technique for making asymmetric resections in which theapplication of pressure by a finger reveals excess skin in both nostril sill and nostril flareindependently for each alar base. With these asymmetric excisions from the right and left alar bases, a more symmetric nostrils and nasal base can be achieved.

Magic Finger Technique in Learning Multiplication of One to Two Digit Whole Numbers
This study aimed to determine the performance of grade 5 pupils in LBES in learning multiplication of one to two-digit whole numbers using a magic finger technique. To guide this research study, the following questions were formulated: (1) what is the performance of pupils in learning multiplication of one to two-digit whole numbers?; (2) Is there a significant difference between pre-test and post-test?; and (3) what is the proposed intervention to improve the performance of pupils in learning multiplication of one to two-digit whole numbers.
In this study, there are fifteen (15) participants took part in an intervention study for 1 month or 4 weeks; they belong to 32.61% of pupils with difficulties in mathematics for the first quarter of the school year 2019. Realizing the importance of this fact, the researcher has intended to give innovative strategies or interventions on raising their proficiency in Mathematics. Using a quantitative approach, the participants in Group A and B (pretest-posttest) were asked to answer questions about multiplying one to two-digit numbers using a magic finger technique. The results from both of these examination tests were computed into the IBM SPSS, 25.00 version software for statistical analysis.
The researcher found out that the experimental and control group were comparable in the pre-test and post-test. The results of the study showed that the mean score was 16.67, however, after the intervention was significantly higher than the mean score 12.20, before the intervention. The comparison of their gain scores revealed that there was a significant difference in the performance in the post-test which is higher than the pre-test.

About the Author:James Bastien was born in Bellingham, Washington, on April 10, 1934. His father, Clarence, was musical and played the violin. His mother, Dorothy, was a writer and a high school Latin and journalism instructor. After living in Seattle and Florida, the family moved to Portland, Oregon, where Jim began his piano studies with Frances Mulkey North. Subsequently, Jim studied with the late Ariel Rubstein, the late Louis Artau, and the late Gyorgy Sandor.
Jim received his undergraduate and masters degrees from Southern Methodist University. He was a former member of the faculties of Notre Dame University, Tulane University, Loyola University (New Orleans), and the summer faculties of Tanglewood and the National Music Camp at Interlochen, Michigan.
Jim met his wife Jane Smisor in New Orleans in 1960. They performed as the duo-piano team, Smisor and Bastien. In addition, Jim was a Columbia Artist accompanist whose collaborative career included appearances with Richard Tucker and John Alexander. During this time Jim and Jane started writing music to address the needs of their students. This was the beginning of the Bastien piano books that have inspired so many piano students and teachers.
The Bastien piano books have been published worldwide by the Neil A. Kjos Music Company since 1963 and are now translated into 14 languages. In 1999, The Music Teachers National Association presented Jim and Jane with the Lifetime Achievement Award, the association's highest honor, in recognition of their outstanding career in music and contribution to the music profession.
James W. Bastien, loving husband and father, and a passionate piano pedagogue and musician, passed away on December 7, 2005, in La Jolla, California.

Reviews for "Magic in Every Bite: The Allure of World Pizza"
1. John - 1 star
Magical World Pizza was a terrible experience for me. The pizza was greasy and the crust tasted like cardboard. The toppings were sparse and lacked any flavor. The service was slow and the staff seemed disinterested in helping customers. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a good pizza experience. Save your money and go somewhere else.
2. Sarah - 2 stars
I had high hopes for Magical World Pizza, but sadly, it fell short of my expectations. The pizza was mediocre at best and definitely not worth the high price tag. The flavors were bland and the cheese seemed cheap. The service was average, nothing particularly bad but also nothing exceptional. Overall, I won't be returning to this place as there are much better pizza options available in the area.
3. Mike - 1 star
I regretted visiting Magical World Pizza. The dough was undercooked and chewy, while the sauce had a strange tangy taste that didn't sit well with me. The cheese didn't have that gooey, stretchy texture that you expect from a good pizza. The service was also lacking, as our order took forever to arrive and the staff seemed unorganized. Definitely not a place I would recommend to anyone craving a delicious pizza.
