Violence in the New Orleans jail continues at "absolutely an unacceptable level," even after inmates were moved to a new facility, a court-appointed expert testified in federal court yesterday, reports the New Orleans Times-Picayune. For nearly four years, Orleans Parish Prison has been under a court-ordered consent decree to make the jail safer and more secure for inmates and the deputies who guard them after a court found in 2013 that conditions at the former site violated the constitutional rights of prisoners. The city of New Orleans owns and funds the jail, which the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office operates.
Susan McCampbell, a court-appointed monitors, said with a 50 percent staff turnover in 2015, and a lack of training and supervision, the employees who do stick around can't properly perform their jobs. "In an environment where the inmates have more experience with the facility than the staff, inmates are always trying to be the ones to run the jail," McCampbell told U.S. District Judge Lance Africk. From Sept. 15 to Dec. 31 last year, the first month's inmates were housed in the new $145 million jail complex, McCampbell said there were 200 inmate-on-inmate assaults, 44 uses of force by staff, and 16 assaults on staff. "At a well-run direct-supervision facility, it's an oddity to have an inmate-inmate assault," she said. "And in this facility, it's almost a daily occurrence."

At the tale end of 2014 I was taking serious stock of what both Jim and I and now Lucy had accumulated in stuff. It wasn't that much compared to a typical household, but enough to keep me up at night driving me just a little crazy.
The funny thing is when I first was on my own, I thought an apartment filled with stuff was a good thing. Knickknacks, random books, stupid amounts of clothing I never wore, it all seemed relevant like I was doing well in life. Cue to a few years later, I'm loading up the back of my vehicle with trash bag after trash bag of clothes, and just random things that were taking up space that we never used. I began to resent it all, why do we spend money on DVDS when they just collect dust and I can watch it on netflix? Why do I keep buying beauty products, lotions, when in reality I've used the same face wash, moisturizer, make up for almost a decade and it's predictable, but at least I know they work for me, and won't cause any flare up. Don't even get me started on the money I've wasted on cleaning products over the years. Since Lucy has become mobile the only items you will find to clean with are white vineager, baking soda and essential oils.
Wih expelling all these unnecessary material possessions I was still feeling claustrophobic and stressed out, so after much thought and reflection to get to the route of my anxieties, Jim and I both had a much needed heart to heart about our dogs. Since Lucy was born it was a tough transition for them, our babies were basically demoted to just pet status overnight. They were not getting the love and attention they deserved with Jim working long hours and me busy with the baby. To make matters worse, Charles and Denada (our chocolate Labrador) were unsure with their opinions of our new family member. We gave it 10 months, and it just seemed to get progressively worse. Charles has always had a tendency to mess in the house, which totally escalated out of jealousy. It got to the point where Charles and Denada were put in a certain part of our house for them to hang out in, totally unfair to them.
So as many of you know yesterday Denada went to her new home, and I got a text last night of her and her new owner snuggled up on the couch, it made my heart so happy.
And now for the big news which this blog post was all about, Charles. Oh Charles, my sweet little westie. It just was not working out at our home anymore with him and the baby, so yesterday as well he went to go live with his new family. The silver lining in all this is, our amazing next door neighbors adopted him. I can literally see him outside of our windows, go visit him whenever, or steal him away for a couple hours to snuggle. This is truly the happiest ending for our beloved puppies, they are now back to getting everything they deserve.
As for our black Labrador, Jana, she is staying put. She is so patient and has an incredible bond with Lucy. She tested positive for Lyme disease last summer and since has lost a lot of weight, so it's our goal to get her healthy again.
So that is how our new year has started, and I'm actively trying to find ways to keep simplifying our lives.

Hardiness Zone: 5a
Dawn from Elmira, NY
I'm glad you asked this question. Most gardeners assume that because it's slightly acidic, fresh coffee grounds or leftover brewed coffee can be sprinkled over the soil of any acid-loving plant. Not true. It's actually a bit more complicated than that.
First of all, not all acid-loving plants are created equal. Plants like Azaleas, Gardenias,Hydrangeas, Roses, Rhododendrons, and Blueberries all seem to respond well when grounds are mixed in with their soil.
Acid-loving African Violets, on the other hand, do not. Most edible garden crops also prefer slightly acidic soil, but adding coffee grounds also seems to affect them in different ways.
For example, lettuce seems to benefit greatly from the addition of coffee grounds, but tomatoes are actually affected somewhat negatively.
Plant scientists are not exactly sure why some acid-loving plants respond differently to fresh grounds than others, but it could be because coffee contains allelopathic chemicals that actually inhibit growth in some plants.
This might be helpful when you're trying to control weeds, but unfortunately, coffee grounds can't tell the difference between the plants you like and the plants you don't.
Secondly, mixing fresh grounds in with the soil has a tendency to tie up some of the nitrogen while the grounds decompose. Once the fresh grounds are fully broken down, however, a modest amount of nitrogen is released back into the soil. Mixing small amounts into the soil probably won't affect your plant's nitrogen uptake too much, but it's still better to add the grounds after they have fully decomposed or just sprinkle a small amount on top of the soil.
Finally, a word of caution on using coffee grounds for houseplants: Moist grounds encourage fungus growth that can be detrimental to your plants. If you use them on houseplants, do so sparingly and avoid watering your plants unless the soil is dry to the touch.
Unfortunately, there's no real recipe for how much is too much. Your safest best is to add leftover coffee and used grounds to the compost pile (it's unlikely you could add too much).
If you don't compost, you'll have to rely on trial and error. A cup or two around shrubs and a tablespoon or two around potted plants now and then should do no harm.
Because coffee is somewhat acidic, adding grass or leaves (browns) as mulch can help neutralize its acidic affects around plants that prefer more alkaline soil.
Ask a QuestionHere are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community or ask a new question.
Which plants like coffee grounds?
Hardiness Zone: 8b
By Janet Skinner from Jax, FL
Just to let everyone know, I have 75 tomato plants in pots. They are doing great, 3 ft. tall and growing. I used coffee grounds and organic fish and bat guano. Everything in my garden is organic, including the dirt.
I water my plants every two days in the evening and always at the same time. This is very important if you want your crop to produce. Timing is everything
Can I use coffee grounds on my house plants? I have a Christmas catus and a climbing plant that I am not sure what it is, other than it has large waxy leaves. I hate to throw them out and I can't compost them because I live in a apartment.
You can put a sprinkling of the grounds around your plants.
There are different opinions about using coffee grounds on house plants but most agree that using them outside (not heavy quantity in one place) is a good thing. Since you live in an apartment I see no reason why coffee grounds would be okay to use but do as Judy says and just sprinkle them on top of soil and not on the plants or the stems. Be sure to "sprinkle" as too much may become moldy.
Also, very weak black coffee/tea can be added (small quantities) to many plants as this seems to benefit my house plants more than coffee grounds.
This question has been asked on ThriftyFun before so here is a link that you might like to check out.
My best advice is not to add too much to indoor plants because they will definitely get moldy. I found this out the hard way :) If you use it, dig it in deep. It will be great.
So many terrific answers and good advice! My two cents?

What does the end of tenancy cleaning service in Docklands involve at the living room area of the residence?
First, you can be sure that every care is taken so even a complete perfectionist could find a flaw – everything will be well cleaned, to the last detail. The living room can represent a challenge to a non-professional as there are quite a few cleaning tasks in it but we know exactly what to do and how. All spider nets will be wiped out from the walls and ceiling by our professional cleaners. We will wipe to perfection all interior windows, window-sills, window shades, doors door-handles, door-frames, base mouldings, picture frames, mirrors and glass-cases, lamps and light switches, wall sockets, as well as all shelves, the interior and exterior of the cabinets, drawers and so on. The waste-paper baskets will be emptied and cleaned, every piece of upholstered furniture – footrests, armchairs, sofas – will be also cleaned, naturally the floor will be thoroughly vacuumed, even underneath the sofas.
It goes without saying that we will also clean items which you would like to be a part of the service, if there are any. Your individual needs are always taken into account and our cleaning service is entirely tailored to answer to them.
Many of our clients need our end of tenancy cleaning service before they present for final inspection upon vacating a residence in Docklands. Of course there are also people who need a cleaning done before they move in a new house or flat and our cleaning teams are willing and able to oblige. Our company offers an end of tenancy cleaning service, which is equivalently suitable for both situations. In case that you need a carpet cleaning there would be no problem for us to arrange it, although it is not a part of our end of tenancy cleaning service. What is more, we have at our disposal the latest available special equipment and the great value for money carpet cleaning results will surely astonish you. Keeping in mind your individual needs, our company works with two highly innovative methods of carpet cleaning, depending on the particular carpet. The carpet service is available to book by itself or together with end of tenancy cleaning. To save you money and time, we can work out a cleaning package for you, if you are interested. Upon arriving, our cleaners will assess whether your carpet a steam cleaning or a dry one. All grime, dirt and stains, even the ones you feared would be impossible to get out will be easily removed with the help of our tested methods, without causing any damage to the carpet's texture. You can count on us for perfect results – the concurrent effects of these two services would really make a difference.
Look into the Docklands cleaning company profile before you select it and in case that there is information related to the enlisted services, read it in detail. Keep in mind that some cleaning companies may provide cheaper services, not covering aspects which are crucial for you, while others may include more than you actually need and thus may be more expensive, and third may offer various packages and individually tailored options – the cleaning services of the different companies are not identical as it may seem at first glance. Make your job to visit several Docklands cleaning companies' websites; usually there is enough choice and it is up to you to make it.
While you are on the website of a cleaning company, you might want to see further details which could help you to make a more considerate decision, such as used equipment, methods of cleaning, experience, special packages, discounts, etc. If there are any on the website, previous customers' comments are also a good way to form an opinion.
Our experienced staff will prepare the home look as shiny as new. For the purpose to discover what is incorporated in our end of tenancy cleaning service in Docklands, please check carefully our guideline.

Cheap online dresses for women are for everyone from movie stars to girls going to their first prom. It is not about how much money you spend, it's about how good you look and how good you feel. So why not dress like a movie star and enjoy it?
We all know that film stars like the big names in Hollywood have a team of stylists, advisors and make-up people around them seemingly all the time, but that's not necessary to create a beautiful look. Buy dresses online that have star quality about them and you'll feel like a million dollars, even if the dress cost just the smallest fraction of that. One tip that movie stars always use is to have their dresses tailored to fit – so don't worry if that gorgeous gown is a little loose around the waist or shoulders, it can be altered. And since you can buy cheap dresses online, alterations won't blow your budget. Another tip is to always be perfectly groomed – make sure there are no loose threads, pet hairs, or any other unwanted bits and pieces on your dress when you go out. Make sure it is neat and tidy, and the same goes for any make-up you are wearing too. If your nails and hair are finished perfectly, the cost of the dress really isn't an issue – you will look stunning and ready to turn heads. Finally, keep your shoes clean and well maintained. If they are showing wear, it can ruin an entire outfit.

Transcription of video:
Hi guys, I'm Alessandro from Zenko Games and in this video I would like to talk about the differences between the differnt types of VR, AR, Mixed Reality and Merged Reality and why there is so much confusion about this terms, so let's start with the most common nowadays, VR.
VR, Virtual Reality, is easy to describe, everything you see is completely virtual, and we can differentiate it in:
The first one is the one you can experience on mobile with headsets like the Google Cardboard or the Samsung Gear VR, but it would be better defined by the term 360° content, since essentially you have your head inside a bubble, you can look around, but you can't move inside that world.
6 Degree of Freedoom VR is the one you can experience with headsets like the Oculus Rift or the HTC Vive, and it can be stationary or seated when you use things like a treadmill to move around or you just don't move, room scale when you use external sensor that track your position inside that room or inside-out tracking where those sensor are inside your headset and so you can move more freely.
Mooving on we have Augmented Reality when we have some kind of content like text or 3D models overlaid in real time on the real world.
We have four types of Augmented Reality:
The first one, Location Based, is when we have some king of information ovelaid on a map, and for this reason, since we don't see the real world, many don't consider Location Based true AR, since is like an Augmented version of Google Maps and we never called it Augmented Reality.
In Marker Based the content is attached to a predetermined flat image or a 3D object, while in Markerless, also called SLAM that stand for Simultaneus Localization and Mapping, we can place that virtual content everywhere we want because the enviroment is tracked in real time.
Last, and probable least talked about, is Projection Based is when the content is projected on a flat surface like a wall or a table.
Merged Reality is a term used only by Intel for their Project Alloy, that is essentialy an inside-out tracking VR headset with hand tracking so you can use them to interact with the enviroment without the need of an external controller like you have to do with the Oculus Rift or the HTC Vive and is a term that it's used essentially for marketing reason to try to differentiate theirself from the competion and I think it will probabily fade away since inside-out technology is becoming more and more popular with time.
Mixed Reality is where the things get confusing because there are 2 school of thoughts about what Mixed Reality is.
For the first school, Mixed Reality is a continuum that range from Real Enviroment to Virtual Reality and in between we have Augmented Reality and Augmented Virtuality, a term that no on use, but it define a scene where a real object augment a virtual background.
This concept was first introduced by Paul Milgram in 1994 and is also reffered as the Reality – Virtuality Continuum.
The second school is the XR or Extended Reality Contiuum and is the one perceived by the general pubblic where Mixed Reality is a more advanced form of Augmented Reality where the virtual objects can interact in real time with the real enviroment.
A lot of confusion was caused by Microsoft because it has always marketed the Hololens as a Mixed Reality Headset and so when they announced the new Mixed Reality headsets with Asus, Lenovo and Dell, the people was expecting a more advanced form of AR, but what they got was a Virtual Reality headset, so they were technically right because they were following the first school, but the people was expecting something different.
In this video we used a lot of terms, but I think it would be better if we just stick to AR for when we have digital content in the real world and VR for when everthing we see is virtual.
Mixed Reality is not so much different from AR and there are not strong boundaries between the two, so it's just another term that add confusion when is not necessary.
If you liked this video please subscribe and follow us on the social media, in the next video I'm gonna talk about why Super Mario on the Hololens is everthing wrong about the Augmented Reality industry today.

Once you are shrunk and walk through the portal you discover Beaumonde City. They welcome you with open arms and you start on your journey to becoming a fashion aficionado.

Gouvernance des Services Environnementaux et de l'Eau, Changement Climatique et Droits de l'Eau
Status: CLOSED
Editions: 2017
Ce cours de formation à distance sur la "Gouvernance des Services Environnementaux et de l'Eau, Changement Climatique et Droits de l'Eau" est réalisé avec le soutien financier de la Région Piémont dans le cadre du projet « Formazione sulla governance dei servizi ambientali locali, il cambiamento climatico e i diritti di accesso all'acqua ».
Le cours se compose de deux modules à distance : le premier module est consacré aux thèmes de la gouvernance des services environnementaux locaux, en particulier sur les services des ressources en eau; le deuxième aborde les impacts du changement climatique sur les ressources en eau et les droits qui s'en rapportent.
This first edition of this course was possible thanks the financial support of Regione Piemonte within the project "Formazione sulla governance dei servizi ambientali locali, il cambiamento climatico e i diritti di accesso all'acqua"
Gouvernance territoriale : fondements, enjeux et pratiques en Afrique de l'Ouest et au Sénégal
Status: CLOSED
Editions: 2017
Cette formation à distance, realisée en collaboration avec l'Institut de la Gouvernance territoriale de l'Université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar (IGT-UCAD), introduit les fondements, les principes, les enjeux de la gouvernance territoriale.
Au-delà de la présentation des concepts (gouvernance, bonne gouvernance, décentralisation, territorialisation, développement local), il s'agit d'une réflexion partagée sur les politiques publiques et les approches de la gouvernance en Afrique de l'Ouest, avec un focus sur les acteurs, les échelles, les mécanismes et les programmes.
A partir de textes, d'articles scientifiques, de retour d'expériences cette formation, d'une durée de 4 semaines, permet d'expliciter les dispositifs et les instruments de la territorialisation des politiques publiques, en mettant un accent particulier sur les pays de l'Afrique de l'Ouest et sur le Sénégal.
Economic Regulation on water services
Status: CLOSED
Editions: 2016, 2016/2017
Water is at the center of economic and social development, sustaining livelihoods, irrigating crops, serving industrial needs. Water insecurity can have devastating effects on economies and on the well-being of entire populations, especially the poorest and most vulnerable ones, and the matter is made even more urgent considering the unpredictable effects of climate change on hydrological cycles. The efficient management of water resources and a sound regulation of the water service are necessary steps to tackle the mentioned challenges that will require the attraction of large investments from governments, bilateral institutions and philanthropic organizations.
The course will introduce the subject with a short microeconomics section, useful to clarify concepts such as natural monopolies, competition and public goods. The introduction will be followed by a section dedicated to industrial investment analysis as a tool for the regulation of water services, useful to jump-start the work related to assignments and case studies. The last section of the e-Learning course will be constituted by an intense section on Economic Regulation focused on the water sector. Regulation can be described as the definition and implementation of rules setting the service general framework, stakeholder missions, roles and interaction and indeed regulation also specifies how the cost of the service is to be financed, hence a specific attention will be put on tariff setting and regulatory budgeting.

The goals of this training is to strenghten the technical and managerial skills of operators in the field of water and sanitation by transfering know-hows and sharing the experience developed by Hydroaid and the Italian context with reference to the conditions in Brazil. It was particularly conceived for the Brazilian public institutions concerned by the sanitation issues.
O Curso à distância (EAD) nasce do Curso de Especialização "Gestão Integrada em Saneamento", presencial, realizado em Brasília em quatro diferentes edições anuais, a partir de 2005, contando com a participação de profissionais de várias partes do Brasil e de estrangeiros provenientes de países de língua portuguesa.
O Curso de Especialização era composto de 12 disciplinas lecionadas por docentes brasileiros e italianos. O objetivo da docência italiana foi apresentar aos alunos os marcos legislativos italianos, as ferramentas de diagnóstico e de planejamento, bem o acervo técnico no setor de saneamento, fornecendo elementos para uma análise comparada com a situação brasileira. O Curso à distância, na sua primeira edição, em modalidade experimental, é semelhante ao curso presencial acima mencionado, mas limitata às disciplinas com conteúdo italiano ou caracterizadas por peculiaridades italianas, com enfoques teóricos e de gestão, utéis a aprimorar o conhecimento do profissional já adquirido na área de saneamento.

Groundwater contaminated by cattle and used to irrigate spinach crops in California is under suspicion in the investigation of the current E. coli outbreak that has infected more than 100 people, killing one. This particular strain of E. coli, O157:H7, is found in the intestinal tracts of cattle raised on a grain diet, according to a recent New York Times op-ed piece.
U.S. researchers have found that high-grain diets make E. coli more potent. When cattle are fattened on grain, their digestive tracts become unusually acidic and kill off most of the E. coli. But the bacteria that survive are those that have adapted themselves to an acidic environment. This is a major problem for human health because our first line of defense is the acidity of our own digestive juices. Acid-resistant feedlot bacteria can survive our gastric juices in sufficient number to make us ill.
By contrast, the E. coli from grass-fed cattle remains sensitive to acid and is quickly destroyed in our stomachs. 'Switching cattle from grass to grain to speed their growth has created a lot of unforeseen problems,' says Jo Robinson, grass-fed expert and author of the book Pasture Perfect.
For instance, Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE, or more commonly, mad cow disease), has not been found in grass-fed animals. Mad cow is thought to be caused by feeding cattle pieces of brain and nerve tissue from other infected animals. (This practice was abolished in the United States in 1997.) When humans consume meat from animals with mad cow disease, they risk contracting its human form ? Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. Mad cow disease has not been found among grass-fed animals because they exclusively eat forage materials.
For more on grass-fed beef, read Better Beef. And you can learn more about factory farming by watching The Meatrix, an award-winning online video.
Even if E coli 0157:H7 does exist in wild animals, the fact remains that feeding cows grain promotes it and that grass feeding does not. Jim Russell a USDA microbiologist on the faculty at Cornell found that by putting a grain fed cow on grass for a few days prior to slaughter reduces the E-coli 0157 by at least 80%. No one disputes that feed lot cows produce a huge concentrated source of this dangerous bacteria. It is also a fact that this area has had 20 outbreaks of E-coli in the last 10 years. And that most of the rivers in the area are frequently found to be contaminated. Some relatively recent change in the environment of this location must be the cause. The other issue to be faced is that all the efficiencies of scale that enable us to have cheap, convenient produce are exactly what make it so easy to create a widespread disaster.So buy local, seasonal and grassfed and you can change the world one mouthful at a time.
DHalgrimson asked where to buy natural animals. I assume the reference is to buying natural *meat*. Check the website:www.eatwild.comto find information on where such products are sold in your area.Pat
Where do you think would be the best place to buy natural animals?
When on the Big Island of Hawaill I buy my beef at the Parker Ranch Store because it is range fed beef. The grass is an African Kuokuu Grass that mainly grows above the ground. Sad to say the beef taste like grass but considering the risks, grass taste just fine. Whether we are talking about grain feeding for larger cows, the use of sodium nitrates to make rotton meat look good, using high fructose corn sryup and hydronated vegitable oils in drinks and food because they are cheap; the common denominator is greed and until we the people demand healthy alternatives by not buying these poisions they will continue to used. Sadly not everyone knows this or has the $. One arm of the FDA warned us about the dangers of these ingredents but our government did not heed the warnings and took $ from the food producers; taking care of themselves not the people because of greed,Greed GREED! p.s. they did the same thing with Drug Industry and doctors know it but most are greedy too and prescribe harmful medicines to adults and children.

I cannot believe Valentine's Day is just around the corner, umm slow down 2016, but there is no better excuse to throw on your best frock, take 3 hours over your makeup (for it to still look a bit rubbish if you're me) and go on a lil overdue date night. Or you can just stay in and watch movies whilst you do you're makeup really nicely because dem boys don't know what they're missing. Either way, what I'm trying to say is, we all know it's all about cute make up. So I have sieved through my collection and picked out 10 of the prettiest bits of makeup I own that are perfect for the day of lurrrve. Spew.
|(lef to right: Past Romance, Marzipan)
1. Too Faced - Better Than Sex Mascara:
Let's just ignore the name of this mascara for a sec shall we, because it in no way has anything to do with why I'll be wearing it this Valentine's Day. I got this lil mini Better Than Sex for Christmas so I could try it out and I absolutely love it. It grabs every lash and makes them look so full and long. I always feel like I'm wearing falsies when I'm wearing this and I feel much safer knowing I can flutter my lashes to my heart's content without running the risk of them becoming unstuck and drooping half way down my face over dinner.
2. Zoeva- Love is a Story Palette- Past Romance:
Hopefully, other than this beaut eyeshadow, your Past Romances will be the last thing on your mind on Feb the 14th. I'm planning on wearing pinky/purple colours on my eyes for Valentine's Day and this sparkly deep pink/purple shade is soo stunning. It's really pigmented, blends really nicely and looks super glam. I reviewed the whole palette on my blog when I first bought it so you can find that here if you fancy a little read.
3. Too Faced- Chocolate Bar Palette- Marzipan:
I know Past Romance is a little bit out there and might not be everyone's cup of tea so I thought I'd include a calmer eyeshadow alternative. Marzipan is my go-to every day shade at the moment and I use it constantly. It's a really beautiful, shimmery light pink that looks stunning when you catch it in the light. It's really subtle but super pretty and perfect for brightening up your eyes.
4. No7- Skin Illuminator:
I got this illuminator as part of one of No7s amazing deal/freebie things that they're renowned for and, although it's something I would never think of purchasing, I've actually really been liking it. You can apply it underneath your foundation, mix it with your foundation, or use it as a highlighter over the top to give you a beautiful little boost of radiance. It gives the skin a lovely glow and leaves you looking celestial and fresh faced.
5. Benefit - Girl Meets Pearl:
I raved about this highlighter way back in September of last year in my 3 Ways to Highlight post which was one of my first beauty posts ever! My feelings for it haven't changed and I've recently just got another tube of it. It's a liquid highlighter that's lovely and bronzey/goldy in colour. As the name suggests, it's very pearlescent and has a lovely glow to it without it being too glittery. I'll definitely be dazzling Blair with it on my cheeks on Valentine's Day, boy better bring his sunglasses. *Insert Sunglasses emoji here*.
6. Nars- Orgasm Blush
This blusher took pride of place in my Beauty Finds of 2015 post and if you've read it you'll know that, like most bloggers, I'm absolutely love it. Its pinky colour is just so pretty and really pigmented and the little gold flecks through it, which made me fall in love in the first place, add the nicest subtle highlight.
Lips and Nails:
|(left to right: Curviest Caramel, Berry Gorgeous, Cherry Me)
7. Clinique- Chubby Stick- Curviest Caramel:
I went a bit crazy with the whole chubby stick trend and kind of accidentally bought half the shades, so narrowing it down to just one to show you in this post was pretty hard. In the end I decided to go for this lovely pinky brown nude. Like all the chubby sticks, its super hydrating, applies like a dream and the colour is really build-able. The shade is subtle but super pretty and it leaves your lips looking nice and plump.
8. Soap and Glory - Gloss Stick - Berry Gorgeous:
I am such a lipstick lover and never usually reach for lip glosses (because who needs hair sticking to their lips 24/7?) but for some reason, this Valentine's Day, I'm all about super hydrated, shiny lips. This Soap and Glory gloss stick is so nice and the not-too-sticky-but-still-shiny consistency is beaut. The shade is a really nice deep berry pink but is quite subtle when applied and it's also super sparkly which I love.
9. Maybelline- Baby Lips- Cherry Me:
This is a bit of an odd one as I'd never really consider wearing a lip balm out on a more formal occasion but I found this again recently at the back of my drawer and I've fallen in love with it. It is so moisturising and hydrating and has literally saved my lips which have been crying out for help. It's got such a lovely deep pink tint to it and it tastes like cherry which is a total bonus for you and your Valentine. Ohh cheeky.
10. Barry M Nail Paint - Ballerina:
If you've read my blog for a while then you'll know that Barry M is my absolute favourite brand for nail polishes, like nothing will ever come close so don't even try. I got the shade Ballerina for Christmas and it's my new all time favourite. I can't think of a better name for it as it's just the prettiest, daintiest shade of baby pink that makes me think of tutus, ballet shoes and Swan Lake. It's the perfect shade that's just so lovely and sophisticated and looks good with pretty much any outfit and I'll definitely be wearing it on Sunday.
So that concludes my 10 makeup picks for Valentine's Day. I love all of these products and will have a hard time choosing what ones to wear on the day. Have you tried any of these? What are your plans for Valentine's Day? Thanks for reading!

An endoscopic procedure, where a thin tube with a camera is used to examine the inside of your colon (a colonoscopy) or upper part of your GI (an upper endoscopy), can help confirm the diagnosis.
The endoscopic system uses a magnified view of a colorectal polyp to study its features and compare it with 30,000 endocytoscopic images used for machine learning.
The endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty cost, on average, $12,000, while the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy cost $22,000 on average.

His guide is Xander, a Skythane, the descendants of the original human settlers who we genetically modified to have wings. The two take an instant dislike of one another, but neither man is prepared for what they're about to find out about themselves, and the fate of two worlds hangs on their ability to embrace their destiny.

Volume 2 of The Cubi
This sequel to "Untouchable Beauty" picks up just moments after the first book ends, with Daniel accidentally dosed by his master Seldon and discovered to be a changeling, a human that has the genetic make-up to be converted to a incubus. It's a huge change for the young man, who was just coming to terms with being a slave to the cubi, albeit a cherished one. He may no longer be a slave, but the immensity of the change, and the ramifications on Seldon due to the accidental dosing, prove quite daunting. More

Jude is a senior student at Portland State University, studying environmental science. He was raised on a farm, but escaped his abusive ultra-religious parents as soon as he could.

Spring 2017: Tu, 2:30-5:20, Sage 32
Spring OCI Listing
This course is an advanced seminar on the social science theory of conservation and development, designed as an M.E.M. capstone course and to give M.E.Sc. and doctoral students a wider theoretical context for analyzing and writing up their research. The course traces the conceptual history of the social science theory of development and conservation, focusing on theories of politics, power, government, and capitalism. It examines relations between these theories, alternative theories, and how this history influences the field. The course covers the works of Michel Foucault most relevant to the field, important social scientists who have used Foucault's ideas (e.g., James Ferguson, Timothy Mitchell, Tania Li, Donald Moore, David Mosse), alternative theories of power (e.g., James Scott, Bruno Latour, Timothy Mitchell), applications of Foucault's ideas to development (selections change every year, but always include James Ferguson), applications of Foucault's ideas to the environment (especially Arun Agrawal and Bruce Braun), theories of resistance and counter-conduct (Lila Abu-Lughod, Michel Foucault, James Scott), and Foucault-influenced views of the economy and capitalism (Peter Miller and Nikolas Rose, Timothy Mitchell, Aiwa Ong, Tania Li, Anna Tsing, among others). Students are expected to use the course to develop, and present in class, their own research and writing. Prerequisite: F&ES 839a, 877b, or 882a. Three hours lecture/seminar. Enrollment limited to twelve.Prerequisites for F&ES 965:

"Of Andrew's many wedding planning abilities, the one I am most thankful for was his ability to turn my dream wedding into a reality. He carefully listened to all the things I wanted and visualized, and began turning them into sketches and eventually into the real thing. His imagination, creativity, attention to detail, and originality put him in a league of his own."

Madad ya Sultan al-awliya. Oh, Muharram is one of the holiest months, and also this night, the tenth of Muharram, is a very holy night in Islam. Allah Almighty just granted His beloved servants from His Endless Mercy Oceans, from His Endless Power Oceans, and made them victorious, tonight. Tomorrow, the tenth of Muharram, has a very special situation in the Islamic calendar, the world calendar, and in world-wide historical events.
It has a very important situation because on that day, bismillar hir-rahman nir-rahim, first of all Noah's Ark landed on that peak and the Flood finished. Tomorrow Sayyidina Ibrahim, peace be upon him, was saved from the fire of Nimrod, Sayyidina Moses was saved from Pharoah and passed through that ocean, Jonah was saved from the belly of the whale, Sayyidina Suleyman, King Solomon, was granted kingship over the whole of mankind and jinn. Also, on this day, Sayyidina Ayyub became healthy and more wealthy than before, Jesus Christ was taken up to Heavens, and Sayyidina Muhammad,peace be upon him, was granted much more honour and the seven heavens were opened to him and to his nation, to reach freely, and he was saved from his tribe Quraish. Whenever Muslims have fallen in difficulties, bottomless difficulties, Divine Help, Divine Support reached them through this holy month, particularly on the tenth. It is a very important day.
I was expecting that Mahdi, aleyhi salam, was coming this year but some signs have not yet come to completion, and I hope that he may be with us next Muharram, after 2000. The third millennium should be for Mahdi, aleyhi salam. Therefore, so many heavenly blessings reached to believers on that day, the tenth, tomorrow, and it is a good chance that we have reached to Muharram, 1999. I hope that Mahdi's aleyhi salam, coming will be granted tomorrow and tonight. Much more power, much more, perhaps all authority for the whole world should be granted tonight. His sword has been taken a little bit out, but tonight it is going to appear, Mahdi aleyhi salam. We have already said, that the change began on the ninth of Dhul hijja, after Arafat, on Mina night - on the evening of Arafat, a new appearance began, a new power came, that now begun continues without stopping. That is miraculous power. From tonight it is beginning to increase, step by step, so that when technology has finished and vanished, another power will come into action.
Try to be with Allah, then you are going to be victorious. Try to take yourself, step by step from the hands of devils and Shaitan. Try to cut off the friendship of Shaitan and his group and his party. Try to use less and less of every kind of instrument that Shaitan handed his soldiers to invent, so many things, because they are going to stop and instead - everything that was working by electricity - electricity is going to stop, to finish, and another kind of source is going to be in power. In only a few months, all nations are going to carry much heavier burdens, and when it is finishing a new opening is coming for the world. There will be no need at that time for electricity, cars, ships, factories - no, nothing. Your lights - nur-al-iman, are going to surround you, to shine around you - then even on the darkest night you may go out and your body will shine.
Therefore I am happy and thanking Allah Almighty that we reached to tonight, and we are humbly asking that our names be written with Mahdi, aleyhi salam. We are not happy with this world and its situation, in Turkey, In Cyprus, in Argentina, in either East or West - no. We are not happy, because every system, every living system now on earth is against Divine Rules. But we are happy and proud enough that Allah Almighty is making us be happy with Him, with his Awliya, with Sahib az-zaman, Mahdi, aleyhi salam. Not making us ones who are running after that dirty life. Satanic life is a dirty life, perhaps the dirtiest life - run away from dirty life! If you are not running away you may sink through those dirty waters, those dirty situations and you can't save yourself. Ask to be clean, and try to be clean, and then it should be that in the last moment of your life you will be clean.
Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Aziz Allah,
Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Karim Allah,
Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Subhan Allah,
Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah, Sultan Allah,
You are Sultan, bihurmatil-habib, bi hurmatil fatiha.
Sheikh Nazim - Cyprus, 1999

When I access my Voicemail with my cellphone, do those minutes go towards my "Anytime" minutes?
Yes they do unless you have free evenings and weekends and access your voice mail at that time.
lol Kid... this time was you... good timing!
I literally pressed the comment button and as soon as it posted I instantly received an email that was your response, it was the closest double post I've ever been part of lol. ;-)
Hi there Sandra... Yes, every time you check your voicemail you are using up your minutes... Try to retrieve them in your evenings and weekends when minutes are unlimited or from a Land line by calling your number and the when voicemail kicks in you interrupt the message with * (star) and the you are prompted for your password... Enjoy

Endorsements: Animal Rights
Thank you so much for putting together resources that would have been almost impossible for me to collate without spending hundreds of hours I don't have in my current position as a classroom teacher.
Everything was user friendly! The lesson plans, the great quality of the reprints, the wonderful collection of images and stories on the DVD all helped immensely.
I am so grateful to you and your sponsors. This unit was the most enjoyable of the year.
Yours sincerely
Joanne Wilson
Palmerston North Girls' High School
I would like to congratulate you and your team for producing an excellent, professionally prepared second Humane Education resource entitled 'Animal Rights, Human Values and Social Action'.

Well done!
