Another thing Catrice are great at is releasing frequent limited edition collections, with there being a new one every couple of months or so.
This newest Spring collection is one that actually has me quite excited I must admit!
Beautiful washes of pastel with a hint of 60's style to it.
There is something for everyone in this collection. It is made up of:
- Creamy Powder Eyeshadow's
- Graduation Blush
- Lip Balms
- Ultimate Nail Lacquer
- Hair, Lash and Brow Colour!
I have to say the Hair Lash and Brow Colour is probably the most interesting thing, its just something that Catrice haven't done before. However I think it will appeal to a lot of people as hair chalks and adding bright colours to the hair is something that has become very popular over the last few months or so.
I'm a bit of a blush hoarder so I think I may have to pick that up, and possibly one or two of the nail polishes.
This collection will be available from January to March 2014 in pharmacies and Penneys.
Anythin here that you all would like to try?
Thanks for reading,

U.S. Rep. John Barrow wants faster action on combustible dust, which fueled last year's deadly disaster at Imperial Sugar Co.'s local refinery.
U.S. Rep. John Barrow wants faster action on combustible dust, which fueled last year's deadly disaster at Imperial Sugar Co.'s local refinery.
The Savannah Democrat is reviving legislation to require the federal government to enact emergency standards concerning the hazard.
Barrow announced his move in the wake of last week's final report by the U.S. Chemical Safety Board on the Feb. 7, 2008, explosions and fire. The board blamed the 14 fatalities mostly on company officials, who it said long knew the dangers of sugar dust but didn't eliminate them.
The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration has begun a lengthy process that could lead to tough new rules on combustible dust.
Barrow and Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., pushed a bill through the house to mandate new rules last year after OSHA balked at calls for it to do so. The bill called for both temporary emergency rules and permanent ones. It passed overwhelmingly in the House but stalled in the Senate.
Barrow and Miller reintroduced the measure this year, but shelved it when OSHA announced its rule-making effort.
But Barrow now says that will take too long.
To read more about the Imperial Sugar Co. refinery explosion, view hundreds of photos and videos, and see documents from the investigation, go to savannahnow.com/news/explosion
"Given the continued threat of combustible-dust explosions and fires," he said, "we need a temporary standard to prevent tragedies like the one we had at Imperial Sugar.
" ... The hard reality is that it could be years at best before ... regulations are in place. Meanwhile, the risk of another combustible-dust explosion or fire still exists."
So Barrow is again pushing for the legislation, which would require OSHA to adopt emergency regulations.
The measure would tell OSHA to issue - within 90 days - an interim standard. It would require better housekeeping, engineering controls, worker training and a written combustible-dust safety program.
"People's lives are at stake, and we can't afford the time it will take for a permanent standard to work its way through the bureaucracy," Barrow said.
Miller, who chairs the House Committee on Education and Labor, supports Barrow's renewed effort.
"The chairman believes that there is still a real need to enact legislation in order to prevent these horrific explosions," said Miller spokesman Aaron Albright. "A solid bipartisan majority of the House was on board already last Congress."
Chris Crawford, spokesman for U.S. Rep. Jack Kingston of Savannah, one of about two dozen Republicans to vote for the bill last year, said Kingston will do so again.
"You would think somewhere between the administration's executive power and the legislation," Kingston said in an e-mail, "we could come up with a balanced and workable solution for both the short and long term." However, Albright acknowledged that, as was the case last year, the Senate could be a road block.
Georgia's two U.S. senators supported the OSHA rule-making effort after the Chemical Safety Board issued its report last week.
But Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson, both Republicans, said in a joint statement Monday that they are wary about emergency rules.
Chambliss and Isakson agreed with board chairman John Bresland that emergency standards seldom withstand court scrutiny.
Bresland voiced that view last week when asked at a news conference why the board didn't urge OSHA to adopt emergency rules.
"Moreover," the senators said, "these temporary rules only add confusion to the regulatory process."
They said they hope OSHA will "promulgate effective permanent standards as expeditiously as possible ... to prevent future tragedies."
Under the administration of President George W. Bush, the White House had said the president would veto the bill if it passed.
The Obama White House did not respond to requests earlier this year for comment on the Barrow-Miller bill.
OSHA spokesman Michael Wald said Monday that it is the agency's policy not to comment on pending legislation.

Higher education's crusade against so-called 'lad culture' stretches far beyond the puritanical killjoys at the National Union of Students (NUS).
On both sides of the Atlantic, some university managers and academics have a serious issue with male students, and are on a mission to expunge from campus any whiff of laddishness. In the US, debate ensues about the possibility, rather than the desirability, of banning fraternities. While the legalities are batted to and fro, some institutions have introduced mixed-sex and alcohol-free regimes, effectively ending the tradition of all-male college associations. Those behind the new schemes obviously assume the presence of women will civilise the fraternities, which stand accused of promoting sexism and alcohol-fuelled risk-taking. Meanwhile, in the UK, panics over misogyny and 'rape culture' have led Scottish academics to campaign for 'lads' mags' to be banned from university shops, while misbehaving rugby club members at Oxford are being sent for re-education at sexual consent and 'good lad' workshops. All too often, men at university are seen as a problem, and men in groups even more so.
Such concerns go beyond the antics of all-male sports' teams on a beery night out and carry over into the classroom. Male students are indicted for messing about, not taking their studies seriously and generally being disruptive. One group of academics has received funding to investigate the behaviour of men at university. Their advocacy research poses loaded questions such as: 'How may lecturers and universities begin to challenge and change problematic "laddish" attitudes and behaviours?' Perhaps unsurprisingly, these surveys have found that men 'just don't seem to really care, they just think it's cool to sit there and talk'. Even relatively mild-mannered male students are considered to dominate seminars in a way that silences female voices. For some lecturers, it seems, the presence of men in their classroom is a particular challenge to be managed, rather than simply being part and parcel of the often mundane experience of teaching.
Even the quietest and most placid male students are seen as a problem for universities. Research conducted for the UK-based Equality Challenge Unit (ECU) suggests men are less likely to participate in academic mentoring programmes, are unwilling to ask their tutor for advice if they get a bad mark for a piece of work, and are less likely to attend tutorials. Outside of the classroom, even sympathetic academics bemoan the reluctance of male students to engage with the ever-increasing array of student-support and wellbeing services on offer. When male students experience difficulties at university, they are more likely to keep it to themselves or turn to friends, perhaps even discussing their troubles over a beer, rather than using the institution's qualified counsellors and support officers. This refusal to seek help when things go wrong is cited as the number-one explanation for men being significantly more likely than women to drop out of university before they've completed their degrees.
For those men who stay the course and complete their studies, the chances are they'll perform less well than their female counterparts. Whereas 79 per cent of women get at least a 2.1 degree classification, only 70 per cent of men score this highly. Importantly, this attainment gap exists even when comparing the results of students who entered university with exactly the same levels of prior academic achievement. Perhaps it's not surprising, then, that boys vote with their feet and don't apply to university in such large numbers in the first place: in Britain, 57.5 per cent of students are female. This overall statistic hides the fact that at some universities women outnumber men two to one, and on some courses, such as veterinary science and subjects allied to medicine, over 75 per cent of students are now female.

Most of the people in or near the capital city, Washington DC, are getting nervous. Except for the occasional mean and nasty G-vt actions, like preventing WW II veterans from visiting their memorial park or not paying families of fallen soldiers who have died in Iraq, no one is noticing that the G-vt is shut down.
Now Social Security recipients are being threatened with not getting their checks. We call BS! That is a nearly totally computer-automated process which directly deposits SS checks into bank accounts. We just got ours this month – no problem.
Popularity polls are showing declines for every political person in DC. No one minds having this alleged shutdown. It has become so politicized that anyone who gets on the news as being harmed by some federal bureaucrat is immediately made whole when a bi-partisan vote fixes the problem and shuts off the bad publicity.
Everyone in DC knows this. We may not have to run any more freedom flying posts in just a few days. They know perfectly well that they are becoming irrelevant, in spite of the most earnest efforts of Administration flackery, media sycophancy, and continued financial profligacy. They will all "cave" in a very short time.
Why would that happen? We think it is because the public has finally begun to blame Democrats and the President for all that mean nastiness. Republicans have finally gotten their message out in spite of some Republican backsliders.
Just remember, don't believe the hype. Please. Our country's economy will not collapse, the sky will not fall. If those people who seem to desire disaster get their wish, the downturn will be either brief and painless or total and fast.
Either way, get to know your neighbors, think about planting a vegetable and herb garden if you haven't already, find and become friends with your deity of choice. These are the only things you can count on to get you through whatever may happen.
Investment lesson: hold on tight. Don't be afraid. Public company stock shares and other assets are the only safe way to store wealth. If that goes, you'll be able to resort to the recommendations above.

Breeding Program
Our Breeding Program
Our exclusive breeding program is setup to guarantee that we breed true to type with every future generation, ensuring that each generation of Cockapoos have litters possessing traits that are original to the Cockapoo breed. We decide to selectively breed dogs that best meet a certain criteria, in addition to that of the breed standard. Town & Country has a specific standard for breeding which desires a more compact body type and a certain size at maturity. Coat type and texture also plays a very important role in our breeding program. Most importantly we only breed from dog's that are tested to be clear of any major genetic health problems in order to produce better dogs in the following generations. Therefore, we wait until our dogs reach the proper age of two years or older and have had all test performed before entering them into our breeding program.
We find it to be extremely important to use the best dog's available. Our breeding program now consist of a foundation stock of champion bloodline American Cocker spaniels and toy Poodles. Our remarkable Third generation Cockapoos are bred from only the best second generation dogs.
Town & Country has a small select group of exceptional Cockapoos. Each has been chosen for a specific attribute that is essential to the Cockapoo breed standard as a whole. By combining these attributes and establishing future pedigrees we wish to create a set type, to be known as the "Town & Country" standard.
We have gone to great lengths to raise the finest adult dogs for our breeding program

News Blog C of I Student Represents Idaho at College Debate '16
College of Idaho Speech and Debate Director Kyle Cheesewright asked his Howlin' Yotes debate team if anyone wanted to represent the C of I at College Debate '16. During the September event, students from around the country gathered at Dominican University in California to "empower young voters to identify issues and engage peers in the presidential election."
"I was like, 'Sure, I'll do it,'" said C of I senior Frank Gigray. "And then Kyle told me my plane left in a week."
Gigray joined peers from 150 institutions—representing every state and the District of Columbia—to focus on using social networking to get millennials involved and excited about politics. They also brainstormed questions that hopefully would be asked during the presidential debates, through targeting moderators and news agencies on social media. And Gigray stood tall as the only representative of the Gem State.

Until recently, it had been believed that the genus Esox had evolved in Eurasia from Palaeoesox fritschei (c. 60 million years ago) through Esox papyraceus (c. 30 million years ago) and Esox lepidotus (c. 10 to 25 million years ago) until relatively late in time (less than 2 million years ago) when Esox lucius evolved and spread across the upper latitudes of the northern hemisphere to North America by means of the Bering Strait land bridge. This had been under the ocean since the drifting apart of the continents began around 60-70 million years ago, but the ice age of the Pleistocene epoch caused a lowering of sea levels making the land bridge possible again.
This comfortable and widely accepted view was well and truly 'kicked into touch' in 1980 when a fossilised skeleton of Esox tiemani was discovered in Canada, which dated from at least 62 million years ago. Further discoveries have since been made which puts E. tiemani, or similar, on earth approximately 80 million years ago, i.e. millions of years before Palaeoesox, which until that time had been considered to be its ancestor. This also puts the genus Esox in North America between 32 and 50 million years before it first appeared in Europe.
The latest hypothesis now has Esox tiemani (North America) and Palaeoesox fritschei (Eurasia) evolving from the herring-salmon order during the Cretaceous period as before but then following separate parallel evolutionary paths until the glacial period of the Pleistocene epoch. In the Americas, E. tiemani had evolved into Esox masquinongy (the Muskellunge) by about 25 million years ago. Then as the North American continent gradually drifted closer to the North Pole, another species evolved which was more tolerant of the colder conditions, and this eventually became the Northern pike, Esox lucius. This ties in well with the situation, which is to be found in North America today where the Muskellunge has a more southerly distribution within the continent than the Northern pike does.
In Europe and Asia, P.fritschei evolved entirely separately, through E. papyraceus, E. waltschanus to E. lepidotus (10 to 25 million years ago). Esox lepidotus was another warmer water loving species like Esox masquinongy but unlike the American species it had less sure north-south land connections, which appears to have prevented any evolution of a parallel cold-water species and led to the temporary demise of the family Esocidae in Eurasia. As in the earlier scenario, Esox lucius had to wait until the Ice Age before it could spread out and become truly circumpolar in distribution, but from a North American source not a Eurasian one!
The earliest pike fossils found in Britain, were discovered in the Cromer Forest beds at West Runton in Norfolk, and were found to be approximately half a million years old. These have been identified as Esox lucius, the same species that is to be found in Britain today. This would tend to refute the oft-quoted, popular legend that pike were introduced into the British mainland by the monks at some point in time after the Romans came. However, the discovery of these fossils alone does not in itself prove an unbroken line of pike existence in Britain since Pleistocene times.
This proof came with the discovery of pike (Esox lucius) fin rays and bones at a peat site near Skipsea on the Yorkshire coast, which dated from the post-Pleistocene and pre-Roman period. As these items were found together with harpoon heads we can only deduce that our ancestors hunted pike because they were indeed an indigenous species. These pike (Esox lucius) are believed to have originally found their way into Britain via the 'North Sea' land-river bridge, when the River Thames was a tributary of the River Rhine. Once again this land bridge was made possible by the much lower sea-levels caused by the vast amounts of water being held in the glaciers which covered great tracts of the northern hemisphere.
In Ireland, however, the story is very different with much of the evidence pointing to the fact that pike were introduced by the monks around the fourteenth century.
Esox lucius is circumpolar and entirely of northern hemisphere occurrence. In North America, the pike is found to the north of a line from Pennsylvania to Nebraska and east of the Rockies north to the Canadian border. It is also found in Alaska and all over Canada except in the polar reaches to the north of Hudson Bay and the Maritime Provinces. In the northeastern United States it also overlaps with the northern half of the Muskellunge, E. masquinongy range. In Europe the pike distribution reaches southwards to the Mediterranean regions, including northern Spain and Italy (roughly 40°N) and to just north of Turkey.
In the north it extends into Sweden, Norway and Finland, although not to the northern and western mountain areas of Norway, where it is absent. It is in northern Europe that we find, perhaps the strangest habitat of all, with the pike having adapted to live in the low salinity of the northern Baltic Sea and the Stockholm archipelago. East of Turkey, in Asia, the southern limit swings up to well north of 50°, because the species cannot survive in areas such as the arid Ust Urt plateau or the Kyzyl Kum desert of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, the Tien Shan Mountains in north western China and the Gobi Desert in Mongolia.
The northern limit, however, reaches almost to the polar shores of Siberia. Here again though, as in North America, it does not fare so well in these coastal regions of the continent. In the region of the Bering Straits, the pike occurs well to the north of its normal range in both the former Soviet Union and the United States. In the U.K., the pike occurs almost everywhere but begins to thin out in the very far north of Scotland, as much due to the small, acidic lochs as anything else.

The UN drugs agency says Africa has become a huge heroin and cocaine hub, with all the associated organised crime behind it. The cash is being traded for weapons by radical groups dedicated to bringing down governments, and Somalia's chaos, along with that of any number of deeply unstable West African countries (e.g. Guinea, Mali, Guinea-Bissau), feed the fire. Recently a downed Boeing was found in Mali with some 10 tonnes of Venezuelan cocaine aboard. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime says up to 60 tonnes of cocaine crosses West Africa each year, with some 35 tonnes of Afghanistan heroin reaching East Africa annually. Apart from rising addiction, al-Qaeda's North African Wing operates in a wide stretch from Algeria to Mauritania and Mali. The West fears this could become a springboard for attacks on Europe.Read more: BBC, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, The Telegraph, Business Day

Internship information for students
School of Engineering students can participate in paid summer internships with faculty, high tech companies, engineering firms, national labs, and state agencies.
Internships are available through the UNM Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Talent Expansion Program (STEP) program. Here are just some of the activities pursued by students on internships:
- Research on nuclear energy distribution between fission fragments at UNM
- Researching known high capacity battery materials at UNM
- Research on energy harvesting of ambient radio frequency waves with a local tech company
- Conducting research in low-energy desalination using electronic fields with Los Alamos National Laboratory
- Developing and executing experiments using chemical and biophysical techniques including protein purification and spectroscopic techniques to characterize protein structure at UNM
- Developing high gain, circularly polarized, wide band antennas with COSMIAC Research Facility
The program involves mentoring by faculty so that faculty and students get to know each other, build stronger relationships and help strengthen ties to majors and departments.
The program also includes paid attendance at conferences so students can present their current activities or research performed in their internship.
For more information on participating in STEP, contact STEP Coordinator Kelly Cockrell, (505) 277-7208 or at email@example.com.
Eligibility Requirements for the Program
- Be a U.S. citizen, national, refugee or permanent resident alien
- Be admitted to the School of Engineering
- Demonstrate academic ability and not be on academic probation
- Be enrolled full-time at UNM at the time of application
Course Requirements:
Mechanical Engineering
ME 318L: Mechanical Engineering Lab: Must be taking in the spring semester of the 2012-2013 academic year (AY).
Chemical & Biological Engineering

Five faculty members from each department in engineering and computer science engage in mentoring sessions — 3 one-hour sessions per semester.
These mentoring sessions allow faculty and students to get to know each other, build stronger relationships and help strengthen ties to majors and departments. Students are matched to faculty members and other students in their department to make up groups called university families. Students are required to attend the mentoring sessions in order to be eligible for paid internships and conferences. Two of the mentoring sessions are pizza parties with all the department mentoring groups (university families).
Part of the funds from the STEP grant pays up to $650 per STEP student to attend a conference. This is for a conference where you can present your current activities or research performed in your internship. The conference must be related to the student's field of study. If the student did a summer internship, he or she must do some kind of presentation on their work, ie: a poster, a research paper or presentation. A "conference request form" must be filled out by the student to get approval for a conference.
Also, if the conference is not local, and the student anticipates they may exceed the $650 limit, the student must seek approval for extra support from their mentor or their mentor's organization.

After making our other Hawaiian Sweet Bread recipe, we're on a hunt for the perfect Hawaiian Sweet Bread recipe. I love the deliciousness of those darn rolls and could eat about 6 of them in a single sitting.
This recipe is definitely an easy one. You just add the ingredients listed in order and turn on your bread machine. Easy peasy. But I'm not so sure they tasted like the Kings Hawaiian Sweet Rolls we buy in the grocery store. (Cue the sad face.) I know. That's two recipes that, although they've been good, just aren't a true Copycat recipe.
I took some to work to see what my co-workers thought. I've been told I'm way too critical on my own cooking. Well, my co-workers said they were incredible.
I made 15 rolls, three rows of five. Next time I'm going to make smaller rolls and more of them.
They looked pretty darn good when I took them out of the oven.
But after brushing them with melted butter? Oh man! Yes, please!
I found this recipe over on 52 Ways to Cook.
- 1 Cup Pineapple Juice (Room Temperature)
- 1 Large Egg (Room Temperature)
- 1/3 Cup Milk (Room Temperature)
- 4 TBS Butter
- 2 tsp Coconut Extract
- 1 tsp Ground Ginger
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/3 Cup Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Mashed Potato Flakes
- 3-1/2 Cups Flour
- 1 packet (2-1/4 tsp) Yeast
- Make sure all of your ingredients are room temperature! This is super important if you want this to rise properly.
- Add the ingredients to the bread machine in the order listed.
- Run the bread machine on "Dough" setting. This should take you through the first rising of the dough.
- Grease a 9 x 13 casserole dish . Slice the dough into 16 equal size portions. Roll into balls and set them in the pan.
- Cover with a towel and allow the final rise for about an hour until the rolls have filled the bottom of the pan and are all touching.
- Bake rolls in pre-heated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter.
- Cool slightly and serve.
- Enjoy!
Definitely a recipe that I'll be making again!

Licensed Professional Counselor
People ask me why I love the work I do so much.
I love the work that I have done with others and will do with you for several reasons…..
- Having the privilege of guiding you through moments of uncertainty, anxiety and discomfort to places of balance and inner peace.
- Meeting you where you are in your struggles. From there we work on building a trusting, connected and recovery focused journey.
- Guiding you through your journey. Challenging and supporting you through this journey can include, eating disorders, body image, postpartum depression/anxiety and struggles you may face with being a woman/girl in this world that can be difficult to navigate.
A Bit About Me
I believe it is important you know a little bit about me before coming in to your first therapy session. Knowing a few things about me, and what is important to me in the work we will do together will, I hope, lower any of the anxiety you may have about starting your personal journey.
I grew up near the beach and have always felt a sense of peace and happiness when my toes are in the sand and I am watching and listening to the waves role onto the beach. I have created my office so that I can share this sense of peace and calmness with you in each session that we spend together.
I spent my Undergraduate years living in the Northern Virginia area truly enjoying my time at George Mason University, where I received my BA in Psychology.
A little more than a year after graduating from GMU, my husband and I found ourselves in Atlanta, Georgia working on our graduate degrees. I received my Masters in Counseling from Argosy University.
I have since spent the last 11 years happily working in treatment facilities and private practice fulfilling my passion as a therapist.

The Sunday Break
At the end of the creation story in Genesis, we hear that God rested on the seventh day, blessed it and made it holy. This is what we know as the Sabbath. The Jewish people count the 7th day as Saturday on our calendar. As Christians, we also recognize this, but we choose to celebrate our Sabbath on Sunday, the day of the Resurrection.
This illustrates how radical the Christian event truly is. Jesus was not a historical blip on the radar as more and more people would like us to believe, Jesus transformed how we view and live in the world. The Resurrection of Jesus is the birth of the new Creation in which grace reigns supreme for those with eyes to see it. But how do we develop the vision to see this grace?
This information alone should be enough for us to take seriously a day of rest for our faith. But, just in case we are not motivated enough, we also hear the call to keep holy the Sabbath in the Ten Commandments. I think when most people hear the word commandment, they are turned off. No one likes being told what to do, even if it is actually for their benefit. The Ten Commandments are just that though: prescriptions that are for our benefit. This is precisely how we should look at the Ten Commandments. If a physician gave you a remedy to something that was making you sick, would you refuse to take it? If an eye doctor offered you glasses to improve your sight, would you not use them?
The idea of a day of rest, is a concept that our culture has already embraced. In fact, every week the general academic and working world shares two days of rest. Anyone who has ever bought something on-line understands that shipping takes 5-7 business days (Monday-Friday). Even though we provide an entire extra day of rest to our schedules, we still cannot find the time to take advantage of the call though.
Now, I know several individuals whose profession keeps them for enjoying what God and our society have provided in the idea of a weekend. These individuals don't let that keep them from seeking out an alternate day of rest though. Ideally we will all take 15 minutes a day to find God and ourselves among the rest of our lives. But especially on our Sabbath, we should take time to rest and praise.
I would like to invite you to create for yourself a Sunday Break this week. Come and join us for "the Sunday Break" at 4p.m. in the Campus Ministry Lounge each week if you would like to enjoy the Sabbath in a community. We will meet for an hour each Sunday before dinner and Mass to make ourselves more open to God's presence in our lives. See you there! Blessed be God forever.

Statues against Malaria
Students of the Hogeschool Rotterdam, covered several statues in the center of Rotterdam with mosquito nets. Their goal is to draw attention to the fight against malaria.
The mosquito nets are part of a major campaign against malaria. The aim of the action is to raise money so that can be distributed 50,000 mosquito nets in Africa to people who need it.
The campaign ends on World Malaria Day, April 25. In conclusion, on that day the world's largest mosquito net will be hung over the Euromast. With this action, the organization also hopes for a place in the Guinness Book of Records.

We're happy to provide your child with premier orthodontic care that will give them the gift of a lifelong smile at an early age.

Early evaluation allows Dr. Eves to monitor your child's development and determine what treatment will be most effective. It can help prevent issues that may become difficult and costly to treat in the future. Some benefits include:

NEBOSH, a leading examination body for HSE with high integrity and standards offers the programme in many languages across of the globe. NEBOSH is well recognized in Asian countries since 2010 through their active course providers. NIST accredited with NEBOSH in 2009 with centre number 698 nevertheless, NEBOSH declares its 100th international accreditation in the year 2011.
NEBOSH offers award level, certificate level and Diploma level qualifications in health, safety & environment which become mandatory nowadays for most of the reputed multinational organizations. NIST pioneer in introducing NEBOSH courses like NEBOSH IGC, NEBOSH HSW, NEBOSH IOGC and NEBOSH IDIP in India and nearing 400 batch this year since its origin.
NIST established its first branch in the garden city. There are successful delegates working in different corporate after successful completion of NEBOSH IGC in Bangalore. NEBOSH courses in Cochin is ever green as there was high awareness among the individuals work in India and other countries. As most of the safety professionals are from Kerala work in different countries, NEBOSH courses in Cochin are ever demanding with NIST as primary option.

NIST Institute is the accredited Centre for various certifications from NEBOSH, which include:
The training for IGC 1/2/3 started on 16 Sept 2017 for 10 days at the Mumbai branch. When the trainer entered the class room on the first day, the boys began to say, we wished that ...had come to teach. Well, I did not understand because I do not know about the trainers of NIST. I kept in mind what they said and as days passed I began to ask them "what is your opinion about trainer", they looked at me and said "he is a very good teacher". I stayed at Borovali and I have to come by bus to our institute and also by train which were extremely crowded. By the time I reach Andheri, I am so tired .Also I have to get up early in the morning to start travel but not a single day I did not feel bad to go to classes because I learned something new every day. Trainer not only covered about the IGC topics but covered about life advice, how to attend interviews, how to get jobs, his personal experience, how to upgrade the qualifications and many other things. His method of explaining the topics were something new to me and to the boys. He found the weaknesses of each student and advised the ways to improve. Even after the training course was completed, he helped me and other boys devoting his precious time so that all feel well and will pass the exams. I believe if NIST has to expand their business then they have to give him more classes to conduct so that more students can bring in their friends. Mr.Kalyan is an all-rounder, his teaching was from the bottom of his heart so we all will pass.
I wish him best of luck in time to come & continue his great way to teaching and advising.

Client-Side Quality Photography for Online Galleries and Portfolios [More]
You have probably already seen these little flip video cameras around for a couple years now. This is the new model and amazingly this little cell phone sized gadget shoots 60 minutes of 720p HD video! In fact it is the smallest high definition camcorder on the market today and it is priced at just over $200!
Easy to use: The Flip Mino has a built in USB arm and with the press of a button you plug the Mino into a PC or MAC and all the software you need to send your video footage to a client or Grandma is built in. I bought one of these for my wife and I now get 2 or 3 videos a week of my kids doing really cool stuff while I am at work. You only need to see a couple of these to start to realize the power of video and start to understand why it is so quickly changing our internet experience.
Customizable: The Flip Mino image in this post is not here becuase of some Photoshop magic. This is an actual camera that we designed for a client (Noltec Southeast) for a really cool promotion they are rolling out to some of their existing clients. I can't let the cat out of the bag yet but suffice it to say that these little cameras are inspiring us to come up with some really cool and different marketing ideas.
For more information check out the Flip Mino website. If you are interested in more information on customizing a Flip for your company or want to talk about the cool marketing potential scoot on over to our contact page and let us know.

[Part of the Pagan Blog Project]
I used to do a lot of horseback riding when I was a teenager, and a number of things from that time have stuck with me.
One of those was the way we pay attention. There's a concept called "hard eye versus soft eye". Hard eye is the directed focused attention, when you are honed in on a particular goal – pointing a horse at a fence, navigating an obstacle in a trail class, doing THAT thing right now.
Soft eye is letting things open up, to the edges of your peripheral vision. Being aware of that thing that's coming up beside you – whether that's another horse and rider, a branch, a random thing that will terrify the poor pitiful thousand pound prey animal you'd like to stay on top of. (With my beloved pony, that was sheep. She was terrified of them. Also deer.)
You need both kinds of vision – both kinds of attention – in your life sometimes, but in general, the more of your time you can spend in soft eye, the better it is for you. You take in more, for one thing. But you also are easier on your body. Things are flexible, gentle, open, able to respond to new input quickly. It's harder to sneak up on you.
So, why am I talking about this in a post about Pagans and research and life? Because the same thing is true with research.

EU Fines Microsoft $1.3 Billion
European antitrust regulators have fined Microsoft $1.3 Billion for not complying with a 2004 judgement regarding Microsoft abusing its market dominance.
The fine is the largest in history ever dealt by the EU commission, and makes the total value of fines imposed on Microsoft total $2.5 Billion dollars in todays current values.
This news got me thinking, are Microsoft still considered Evil? Why did they get accused of evil over the years? Is it because they have incredibley large scale software applications that have benefited society? Its all a bit of a blur these days.

Creek College
Creek College is an experimental school that bridges art, education and conservation. It offers free art classes in exchange for barters that aid in the restoration of a waterway. Developed in collaboration with Adam Carlin and Kristina Dutton, our first session was held along the Johnson Creek in Portland, OR in October 2016 and offered 6 classes taught by 8 local artists. These site-specific classes ranged from sculpture, sound mapping, bookmaking, performance, intervention and a conversation around homelessness and houselessness along the creek.
Our second session will take place in 2017 along the Columbia Slough in Portland, OR and will be co-authored with NAYA (Native American Youth and Family Center) and the Columbia Slough Watershed Council. Thank you to the Precipice Fund, Calligram Foundation, and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts for their support in this year's programming.

Apple and Silicon Valley Struggle to Navigate Trump's Waters
In the weeks since his inauguration, there has been much discussion about President Trump's relationship with the media. Rightly so. Media is not alone in feeling the affects of the chaotic political climate that we are currently experiencing. The ramifications are also clear in tech, where companies have struggled with balancing politics and business, even as the two intersect one another like never before.
Bryan Chaffin Talks about How Politics Intersects with Technology
Chuck Joiner asked me on to MacVoices to talk about Apple, the tech world, and politics. In this video podcast, I make the case that Apple is just plain too big to avoid politics. From regulations, to taxation policy, to international posturing, to the fact that Apple is worth almost US$700 billion, Apple can't avoid politics. More importantly, the broader tech world itself that it increasingly intersects with tech. I think I spewed off about getting older and struggling to understand Millennials, too. It's all kind of hazy, but that didn't stop Chuck from making that part of his title…oh, and check out that key frame he picked. Why did I agree to do this show again? … Oh, right, because I luuuuurve me some Chucky J!

Potomac Edison Completes Substation Project in Jefferson County, West Virginia to Accommodate Load Growth
Upgrades Designed to Handle High Winter Electric Usage in Area
Nov 18, 2016, 12:21 EST
WILLIAMSPORT, Md., Nov. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Potomac Edison, a subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE : FE ), has completed equipment upgrades at a substation in Jefferson County, West Virginia, to enhance service reliability and help meet high winter demand for electricity for about 2,200 customers in the Ranson and Charles Town areas.
The centerpiece of the $1 million project was replacing one of the substation's two distribution transformers with a larger unit, which increased the system's capacity without having to expand the substation's footprint or build new power lines. Completed in October, the substation upgrade also included replacing existing fuses with a new circuit breaker to safeguard the new transformer when irregularities are detected on the electric system.
"Expanding the capacity of this substation was needed because this area of Jefferson County often experiences increased electric usage in the winter due to most customers heating their homes with electricity," said James A. Sears, Jr., vice president of Potomac Edison. "The transformers in our substation were operating at or near their capacities, so this new equipment is a welcome upgrade that will help our customers stay warm in the winter, enhance their service reliability, and position our system to meet the demands of a growing area."
Substation construction crews used a heavy-duty crane to remove the old transformer through a temporary opening in the substation fence to avoid nearby power lines. After weeks of preparation work, the transformer contractor placed the new transformer into place on its pad. The new transformer measures about 19 feet long by 12 feet wide by 12 feet tall, and weighs more than 83,000 pounds.
The project is one of numerous distribution and transmission infrastructure projects totaling $128 million that FirstEnergy Corp. expects to complete in 2016 for the Potomac Edison service area.
Potomac Edison serves about 257,000 customers in seven Maryland counties and 137,000 customers in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. Follow Potomac Edison on Twitter @PotomacEdison.
FirstEnergy is a diversified energy company dedicated to safety, reliability and operational excellence. Its 10 electric distribution companies form one of the nation's largest investor-owned electric systems, serving customers in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia, Maryland and New York. The company's transmission subsidiaries operate more than 24,000 miles of transmission lines that connect the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions. Visit FirstEnergy online at www.firstenergycorp.com and follow on Twitter at @FirstEnergyCorp.

Sims then hit DeAndrew White for the game-winning touchdown in overtime, and the Tide prevailed, 20-13, en route to an SEC West title, conference championship and College Football Playoff appearance.

He won fair and square. People should just accept it.
I would never support an election determined by popular vote, but I do feel the states should change how they allocate their electoral votes. Some states split them according to the peoples votes and I think that is better than all in ways that most states do. I don't think that would change this election in any way. It is just something I think would improve the current system, but the way they do it is left up to the individual states.
If the states allocated electoral votes, I think Trump would have an even larger winning margin of the electoral votes.
Look at the states that Hillary won. Most of them have huge sections of Red.
Now look at the states that Trump won. Very little Blue in those states, if any
What good does 300 square miles of red do you..
When like 10 people live in it.
Those 10 people hardly even run into anything dealing with the government outside of taxes and potentially environmental laws.
They police themselves.
Trump supporters get all giddy when they see all that red..
But don't realize the population density is so low.. that those little specs of blue are all we need to have more votes.

1. Land doesn't vote. So maps like these are irrelevant.
2. People vote and massive amounts of Americans live in big cities. For example, Memphis TN alone has more Americans than the entire state of Wyoming. And some of the largest cities have more Americans than several states combined. But that doesn't show up in maps like these, hence their irrelevancy.
Here's an even simpler example. I'm in a pretty large metropolis right now. Our city is unofficially divided into North side, South side, East side, and West side (I'm in the South side). So why am I boring you by saying this? The South Side of my city alone has more Americans than the 18 least populated counties in my state combined!

Trump is probably going to be too old to get a second term. He's 70 now right? That would make him 74 when he gets out of office. Remember the questions of Bernie's age? That guy was 72.

I agree. I didn't vote but a vote for Trump in CA really wouldn't have mattered. I might be more inspired to vote if the electoral votes were split.
I used to be completely against the electoral college, but this election has shown me how it helps balance the States power. But every vote should count. A vote for Trump in CA was meaningless.
