Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 Facial toning is a type of Beauty cosmetic procedure which promises to alter facial contour and reduce wrinkle s, sagging and expression marks in the face by means of increasing muscle tone , increasing facial volume by promoting muscular Organ hypertrophy hypertrophy , and preventing muscle loss due to aging . It is therefore part of the techniques for achieving facial rejuvenation . Facial toning can also help aid one s appearance due to weight gain of the face that results in facial distortion. Facial toning achieves this by performing facial muscle physical exercise exercising . There are two types of facial toning exercises Active exercising . In this, the user performs a repetition of voluntary contractions of certain facial muscle groups, using a mirror. Passive exercising by direct skeletal muscle electrostimulation . In this, flat metal electrode s smeared with a conductive gel are affixed to certain points in the face and an elecrostimulation divide is used to generate waveforms which promote facial muscle contractions. Although theoretically possible, effectiveness of facial toning techniques are difficult to evaluate and prove scientifically. As these muscles are not prime mover s, like any internal muscle additional resistance cannot be added, so the muscles will not grow or gain much strength. It is solely an endurance and active flexibility exercise. They may be dangerous, even, in the case of particularly strong electrical stimulation near the human eye eye s. Chronic pain , delayed onset muscle soreness , neuritis and facial distortions and asymmetry may ensue.

File Australasian Harrier Makara Beach.jpg thumb Harriers, such as this Australasian Harrier , Circus , have a facial ruff around the neck that can be raised in response to sounds. In ornithology , the facial disc is the concave collection of feather s on the face of some bird s most notably owl s surrounding the eyes. The wikt concave concavity of the facial disc forms a paraboloid circular paraboloid that collects sound wave s and directs those waves towards the owl s ears. The feathers making up this disc can be adjusted by the bird to alter the focal length of this sound collector, enabling the bird to focus at different distances and allowing it to locate prey by sound alone under snow, grass, and plant cover. Other bird species, such as Harrier bird harrier s, have less prominent facial discs. In harriers, the related term facial ruff refers to feathers around the neck that are raised in response to noise, essentially enlarging the facial disc and improving hearing. The Barn Owl has the most visually prominent facial disc, measuring about 110 mm Simmons , while the Great Grey Owl has the largest disc of any bird. References Jemima Parry Jones 2001 .

A facial prosthetic or facial prosthesis is an artificial device used to change or adapt the outward appearance of a person s face or head. When used in the theatre , film or television industry, a facial prosthesis alters a person s normal face into something extraordinary. Facial prosthetic s can be made from a wide range of materials including latex , foam latex , silicone , and cold foam . Effects can be as subtle as altering the curve of a cheek or nose, or making someone appear older or younger than they are. A facial prosthesis can also transform an actor into a sci fi creature, an anthropomorphic animal , mythological beast and more. To apply facial prosthetics, Pros Aide, Beta Bond, Medical Adhesive or Liquid Latex is generally used. Pros Aide is a water based adhesive that has been the industry standard for over 30 years. It s completely waterproof and is formulated for use with sensitive skin. It is easily removed with Pros Aide Remover. BetaBond is growing in popularity among Hollywood artists who say it s easier to remove. Medical Adhesive has the advantage that it s specifically designed not to cause allergies or skin irritation. Liquid Latex can only be used for a few hours, but can be used to create realistic blends from skin to prosthetics. After application, cosmetics and or paint is used to color the prosthetics and skin the desired colors, and achieve a realistic transition from skin to prosthetic. This can be done by the wearer, but is often done by a separate, trained artist. At the end of its use, some prosthetics can be removed simply by being pulled off. Others need special solvents to help remove the prosthetics, such as Pros Aide Remover water based and completely safe for Pros Aide, Beta Solv for Beta Bond, and medical adhesive remover for medical adhesive.

In the context of American jurisprudence, a facial challenge is a challenge to a statute in court, in which the plaintiff alleges that the legislation is always, and under all circumstances, unconstitutional, and therefore void. It is contrasted with an as applied challenge , which alleges that the statute may be, in part, unconstitutional, in redress of specific and particular injury. blockquote A facial challenge to a legislative Act is, of course, the most difficult challenge to mount successfully, since the challenger must establish that no set of circumstances exists under which the Act would be valid. ndash United States v. Salerno ref http caselaw.lp.findlaw.com scripts getcase.pl?court US&vol 481&invol 739 745 481 U.S. 739, 745 1987 ref blockquote If a facial challenge is successful, a court will declare the statute in question facially invalid , which has the effect of striking it down entirely. This contrasts with a successful as applied challenge, which will result in a court narrowing the circumstances in which the statute may constitutionally be applied without striking it down. In some cases e.g. Gonzales v. Carhart or Crawford v. Marion County Election Board , a facial challenge has been rejected with either the court or concurring Justices intimating that the upheld statute might be vulnerable to an as applied challenge. In First Amendment to the United States Constitution First Amendment cases, another type of facial challenge is enunciated in the overbreadth doctrine .

Orphan date September 2008 Image A sheep with facial eczema.jpg thumb right A sheep showing clinical symptoms of facial eczema. Facial eczema , FE , is a disease that mainly affects ruminants such as cattle , sheep , deer , goats and South American camelids alpaca , llamas . It is caused by the fungus Pithomyces chartarum that under favorable conditions can rapidly disseminate in pastures. The fungus requires warm humid weather with night time temperatures of over 13 C 55 F for several days, and litter at the bottom of the sward. Image Sporidesmin.svg thumb left Molecular formula of the sporidesmin mycotoxin. Pithomyces chartarum occurs worldwide but is a problem predominantly where farm animals are intensively grazed, especially in New Zealand . The spores of the fungus release the mycotoxin Sporidesmin in the gastrointestinal tract , causing a blockage in the bile ducts that leads to injury of the liver . Bile , chlorophyll and other waste products consequently build up in the bloodstream causing photo sensitivity of the skin especially that exposed to direct sunlight. This in turn causes severe skin irritation that the animal attempts to relieve by rubbing its head against available objects, resulting in peeling of the skin. The large family of fungi that produce mycotoxins, of which sporidesmin is one, live mainly on ryegrass es and can cause significant problems in grazing animals. Sporidesmin can lower an animals immunity and affect total production in farm animals, and, when taken in larger quantities, can result in death. The clinical symptoms of FE are distressing restlessness, frequent urination , shaking, persistent rubbing of the head against objects e.g. fences, trees etc. , drooping and reddened ears, swollen eyes, and avoidance of sunlight by seeking shade ... to blow fly causing myiasis .
