Long Days for Eye Surgeon

His name is Dr. Samuel Boles and he is the medical director and an ophthalmologist at Anne Arundel Eye Center in Annapolis. His salary is $150,000 and he is 46-years-old.

Boles received his medical degree from Georgia in 1989. His post-doctoral work involved an internship at Yale University, a cornea research fellowship at Harvard University and a residency at George Washington University. He went into ophthalmology because the demand is great.

He worked at the University of California, San Diego, as well as a private practice in Baltimore for nine years before opening the Anne Arundel Eye Center in 2007.

Boles works 60 to 80 hours a week. He is in the office about three to four days a week and is in surgery for about two days a week. In an average day he sees almost 30 patients. The patient care involves everything from follow-ups to in-depth patient consultations. With each patient he spends about 15 to 30 minutes. For operations he does anywhere from two to 10 a week.

He has two front-desk receptionists and two technicians, as well as a manager who work under him.

Boles enjoys spending time with his family as well as windsurfing and racquetball. He is also involved in charity and founded the Glaucoma Co-Management Roundtable. He is also on the board of the Polakoff Foundation that raises awareness of glaucoma.

My hair has always been a forefront of never ending years of hair dilemmas and styles. Black hair is the most fragile and versatile texture in the world.This has made my hair journey an interesting one from being natural as a child to permed in my teen years with good and bad hair days that brought about emotions and experiences that lay down deep in the soul.

Zhara: It's actually more of a community of support and motivation more than a personal website per se. I joined a community online photo blog called fotki.com to document my personal hair journey among thousands of other...

Britney Spears Plans Plastic Surgery

Britney Spears is planning to undergo cosmetic surgery because she has slacked off her diet sources say. Spears would like her body to be the way it was before she had kids. Spears has been ripping pages out of magazines to choose what she thinks are her favourite body parts. Sources say Spears is insecure over how much her body has changed since having her kids. She is reported wanting to do whatever it takes to be back to her best, even if that means plastic surgery.

Briefly, the background on the client and the product is that Ms. Kaba is a PhD student at Northwestern University in the Department of Sociology. She has an B.A. degree from McGill University and an M.A. from the City College of New York. It is her master’s level work where the 21-page essay on Restoring Black Women’s Agency comes from. Her thesis was on the topic of the politics of Black women’s hair and the essay is a shortened version of that thesis. The client originally wanted the entire thesis to be turned into a website.
