Donald Trump has won the Electoral College vote despite protests to ensure that the billionaire will become America's 45th president.
An effort by anti-Trump forces to persuade Republican electors to abandon the president-elect came to practically nothing and the process unfolded largely according to its traditions.
Mr Trump's polarising victory on November 8 and the fact Democrat Hillary Clinton had won the national popular vote had stirred an intense lobbying effort, but to no avail.
Even one of Mr Trump's fiercest Republican rivals, Ohio Governor John Kasich, said it was time to get behind the president-elect.
"We want unity, we want love," Mr Kasich said as Ohio's electors voted to back Mr Trump at a statehouse ceremony. Mr Kasich refused to endorse or even vote for Mr Trump in the election.
With several states still voting, Mr Trump had 304 votes and Mrs Clinton had 169.
It takes 270 Electoral College votes to win the presidency.
Texas put Mr Trump over the top, despite two Republican electors casting protest votes.
Befitting an election filled with acrimony, thousands of protesters converged on state capitols across the country today, urging Republican electors to abandon their party's winning candidate.
More than 200 demonstrators braved freezing temperatures at Pennsylvania's capitol, chanting: "No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA!"

« Back to Knowledge Search
Primary Information
Qualified scholarship/fellowship
is amount used to pay tuition and fees required of all individuals in a program. Qualified scholarship/fellowship payments are made through the Office of Financial Aid.
Non-qualified scholarship/fellowship
is amounts that exceed tuition and required fees, and are used for travel, room & board, incidental expenses and optional equipment or require services be performed as a condition for receiving the scholarship or fellowship. Payment for a non-qualified scholarship/fellowship is made using a check voucher unless there are required services, and in that case paid through payroll.
The majority of the scholarships awarded at Tufts are considered to be qualified under IRS regulations and processed via the Financial Aid Office. Qualified awards do not exceed stated tuition and fees amounts. Scholarships that exceed tuition and fees and/or support other expenses such as travel or room and board are non-qualified and therefore taxable to the recipient. Taxable scholarships and fellowships are paid through Accounts Payable and are reported and/or taxed according to government guidelines.
Tax Status and Paperwork for Non-Qualified Scholarships, Fellowships, Awards, and Subject Study/Volunteer Subject Stipends
Departments awarding the above should consider the following tax implications of the awards:
Citizenship Paperwork Tax Status and Withholdings
US Citizen and Resident Alien W-9 Taxable, but not reportable.
·Tufts does not deduct taxes from payments and does not issue a 1099.
Non Resident Alien W-8BEN and Alien Payment Form · Reportable and taxable.
·Tufts will withhold tax unless tax status is impacted by a tax treaty. Tax rate is14% for "F" and "J" visa holders, 30% for others visas.
·1042-S will be issued to the recipient
To repeat; scholarships, fellowships, awards, Subject Study/Volunteer Subject Stipends that are used for purposes other than tuition and related fees are taxable. Recipients should consult a tax professional when preparing their IRS tax returns.
Subject Study/Volunteer Subject Stipends are not to be confused with a regular Stipend which is given for services provided and should be processed through eReq rather than Check Voucher.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired 46 Obama-era Justice Department attorneys in March and as of today, there are still 93 vacancies to be filled over there. And while those gaping holes remain, the scuttlebutt sizzles down in Miami as rumors fly as to who may or may not be chosen to rep the Southern District of Florida. In April, we told you about a Jeb! loving attorney, John Curiel, who was on the almost definite outs because he was a Never Trumper, and a season 5 Apprentice contestant, Jose Felix Diaz, who flat out bombed the DOJ interview. Not so ironically, those two were seen flanking Trump when he flew down to Miami to announce what the New York Times called a "grotesque spectacle" of a Cuba policy.
Emerging as a competent frontrunner for the position, if Sessions (or whoever replaces him when he's indicted for perjury) ever fills it, is Roy Altman, a trial and appellate lawyer at Miami-based Podhurst Orsek, whose impressive CV reads like someone who should definitely be hired for the job: "Prior to joining the firm, Roy was an Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida. During his over six years at the U.S. Attorney's Office, Roy handled hundreds of criminal cases involving almost every variety of federal criminal offense, including drug trafficking (both domestic and international); arms trafficking; human trafficking; sex trafficking; child prostitution, exploitation, and pornography; bank, mail, and wire fraud; identity theft; armed robbery; attempted murder; serial rape; and the first-degree murder of a U.S. postal worker."
Sounds like a shoe-in, right? Not if Marco Rubio has anything to do with it. In between tweeting out Bible passages and burying his nose in Trump's rectum, Lil' Marco has been going around town telling people he is going to 'blue slip' Altman's nomination if it gets to that point. Why? According to our well-placed source, Rubio has been heard saying, "If Altman was as good as everyone said he was, I would have heard of him before."
Marco, have you lost your mind along with your spine and testicles? Listed at the very top of the names for Miami Dade members of Rubio's "Jewish Leadership Coalition, a group of 150 Republican, Democrat and Independent leaders of the Jewish community who are rallying behind Marco in his bid for re-election," on his Rubio for Senate website is, yup, wait for it, Roy Altman.
So what gives? "Altman's name was good enough to float on Rubio's website to pander to the Jews when he was running," says our very deep throat, who adds, "and now, all of a sudden, he doesn't know who he is?"
His mind must be in the same place as his missing spine and balls.

Several months ago, my son Matthew wrote me an email asking one simple question… would I do for him what I had done for his older brother many years ago... would I write a series of letters giving him specific advice as to what to look for in a wife?
Matt was seven when I first started writing those letters. His big brother was away at school in the days before email and Facebook and Twitter. For over a year I wrote letters, folded the paper, licked the envelope, and dropped those missives in the mail.
I tried to explain to him how women differ and what I saw as his greatest need. I painted a picture for my firstborn son of a woman whose life would mesh with his— of a helper, a partner, a lover, a friend for the rest of his life. I knew, in that way that mothers know, that John Mark would be a leader.
And I knew John Mark.
I called those letters, "In Search of Eve" – I know, I know, it does sound incredibly corny now, but this was back in 1998 when baggy jeans and white-bleached-sticking-in-every-direction hair was in style too.
It made sense back then.
And it sure seemed to work for John Mark. Those letters mystically coincided with his discovery of Tammy. There in black and white was a handwritten description of the woman who had captured his attention. As he read those letters from his mom he was astounded at how accurately I was describing a girl I had never met.
Well, you know the rest of the story. John Mark and Tammy have been married for ten years now. They have two of the most intelligent, amazing, engaging, handsome boys in the world (okay, maybe I'm just a tiny bit biased) and have just adopted a beautiful African daughter into the Comer heritage. There is no doubt in my mind that Tammy is God's gift not only to my son, but also to me. I love her like my own daughters and she fit my son in ways I could never have envisioned while laboring at my desk over those letters.
And now Matthew wants letters of his own.
And so, over the next few weeks and months, I will be sharing with all of you what I write to my son. He's agreed to forego his privacy just a bit in order to allow his friends and people neither of us know— but both of care about, to learn alongside him. I'll be using the last chapter of the book of Proverbs to guide my advice to my son.
Proverbs 31 has long been studied by women hoping to learn how to be the perfect woman and the "ideal wife". But that was never the purpose of this oft-maligned chapter of God's Word.
It is simply a letter from a mother to her son.
Now, granted, included in the middle of that letter is a description of woman of such beauty it fairly takes our breath away. And leaves us lowly less-than-perfect women more than a little intimidated.
But that, I would argue, is not what this mother intended. She was writing to her son, not to women. And she knew her boy. She'd studied him and prayed for him and watched over him since before he emerged from her womb.
Now he is a man, a leader, a king. His vocation as ruler/politician/warrior puts Lemuel under intense pressure to perform and provide. And his mother knows he needs a godly woman to come alongside him and bring balance and wisdom and grace to his leadership. A woman who will fill the empty places of his heart, while bringing him honor and immeasurable help.
And so she writes her letter to her son. And I write to my own son.
And both of us beckon you to read along. To think and ponder and imagine what a truly good wife can do alongside a truly good man. And what a truly good man should know about women. And what women should know about what it means to be truly good.
But while you're reading, will you do one thing? Will you forget the idea of "ideal"? Will you set aside the fairy tale notion of "perfect"? Instead, will you look with me at what God has to say about the value of a good woman?
And will you give me lots of grace in these next series of posts? I'm writing to my son, not studying for a commentary.
I'm the mom of a man-boy who is preparing for his future of leadership and mission.
And I'm the wife of a leader— a truly good man who has taught me and corrected and protected me for just shy of 34 years.
I've learned most of what I know the hard way. By making mistakes and coming up short and being disappointed in my self-centered self. And then by turning to the Scriptures to find a better way of being.
This is my answer to my son's question—
Mom, what should I look for in a wife?
From my heart,
Diane (aka Mom)
P.S. Why don't you take some time this week to slowly read through Proverbs, chapter 31? Allow yourself to think through the wisdom in God's words to you. Go ahead and jot down a few notes and send me any questions that come to your mind.

Call the plumber! Ooops!
Completely forgot to tell you this!
Must've slipped my mind whilst I wallowed in self pity at the beginning of the week
(not even sorry for this, actually…)
Last weekend, my central heating broke down!
in the grand scheme of things, wasn't TOO bad seeing as it's still 15 degrees here in Manchester and it's December!
Could've been worse…
Thing is,
I only had it fixed the week before…
and here it was, broken AGAIN. Not cool.
a phone call to the landlord later,
they decided to use someone else to fix it this time.
^^ Good shout, landlords
I call my landlords 'haud-it and daud-it'
^^ That's a Scottish saying, I actually don't know what it means,
but let's just say they're a bit like The Chuckle Brothers.
I can't understand
a single word from their strong Northern accent – so I generally just nod and smile… haha…
anyway – I digress…
they got a new plumber out to fix it and it was done in half the time that the other lad took…
No idea what was actually wrong with it – but it's working fine now!
This got me thinking….
Why is it that we will invest in a professional to fix things in our home like the heating, the plumbing, the roof etc,
but never hire a professional to fix ourselves??
And even WORSE than that…
Why is it that when the first plumber didn't fix the problem,
we called in another plumber
(didn't go back to the one that didn't work!!!)
even though the diet or slimming club that you went to LAST JANUARY didn't work
you're sitting there still considering DOING IT AGAIN this January?
Even though you KNOW it didn't work…!!!
^^ Ludicrous
So here's the choice you have this year,
my lovelies…
Either you go back to the slimming club that has failed you 50 times over (might be a slight exaggeration) …
or you invest in something new, that is proven to work first time:
A 21 day transformation program designed
to change your whole life.
But if you're looking for a quick fix,
this probably isn't for you.
Rach 'changes lives' Watson
PS – This time tomorrow I'm going to be an auntie!!!
I'll see if I can sneak you a photo
of my sister's new little bundle.
Excitement level = THROUGH THE ROOF!
So if you fill this application form in,
it might be a few days before you hear from me…
<3 love ya

Amazon Defends Its Stance Against Hachette
Executive Says Fight Is for Customers, Denies Retailer Has Too Much E-Book Clout
A senior Amazon.com Inc. executive on Tuesday defended the company against criticism that it is using its growing clout in electronic books to bully a major publisher into onerous contractual terms, saying the online retailer is fighting for better prices for its customers.
Amazon's trade dispute with Lagardere SCA's Hachette Book Group is now in its third month. The retailer wants a larger share of e-book revenue and other concessions related to how books are promoted, according to one industry executive. Hachette is holding...

As I mentioned in another post, my spring so wings of radishes was a bit of a failure, as I simply did not plant enough radishes.
So this time, I'm hoping I planted enough. But I'll keep planting more as I see the success rate.
Either Way, below is the last harvest of stragglers and a photo of the new radish bed.

Owners should plan for pet care after their death
While sitting in the dentist's office waiting for the dental hygienist to call my name, I had just enough time to quickly skim through OK magazine. One article was about Designer Alexander McQueen, who died this past year, leaving approximately $82,000 of his $26 million estate to his dogs Minter, Juice and Callum. He had planned ahead to make sure his dogs were taken care and protected. It got me thinking. How prepared am I for my animals to be taken care of if I get sick or die before them?
A lot of people worry about what will happen to their animals when they die.
The Humane Society of the United States has prepared the fact sheet "Providing for Your Pet's Future without You." This fact sheet provides information to help you plan ahead to make sure your animals continue to receive food, water, shelter, veterinary care and love.
During an unexpected illness, accident or death, our pets may be overlooked. Pets may be discovered days later in the person's home. There are several ways to prevent this from happening. Find at least two friends or relatives who agree to serve as temporary emergency caregivers in case something happens to you. Provide them with keys to your home, feeding and care instructions, the name of your veterinarian and the permanent care provisions you've made for your pet. Make sure your neighbors, friends and relatives know how many pets you have and the names and contact numbers of the people who have agreed to act as temporary caregivers.
Carry a wallet "alert card" that lists the names and phone numbers of your emergency pet caregivers.
Post removable "in case of emergency" notices on your doors or windows, specifying how many and what types of pets you have. These will alert emergency responders during a fire or home emergency. Don't use stickers as they may have been left by a former resident. Firefighters may assume the sticker is outdated, or worse, risk their lives trying to find a pet no longer in the house.
Place a removable notice on the inside of your front and back doors listing emergency contact names and phone numbers. The HSUS notes pets need daily care and will need immediate attention should you die or become incapacitated. The importance of making these informal arrangements for temporary care giving cannot be overemphasized.
The HSUS also suggests the best way to make sure your wishes, regarding ensuring long term or permanent care for your pet if you become seriously ill or die, is by making formal arrangements that specifically cover the care of your pet. Work with an attorney to draw up a special will, trust or other document to provide for the care and ownership of your pet as well as the money necessary to provide for him. Keep in mind it's critically important to to make advance personal arrangements to ensure your pet is cared for immediately if you die or become incapacitated. The formalities of a will or trust may not take over for some time.
The HSUS notes setting up a trust which can provide for your pet immediately and can apply not only if you die, but also if you become ill or incapacitated, because you can determine when your trust becomes effective. When you create a trust for your pet, you set aside money to be used for his care and you specify a trustee to control the funds. According to the HSUS, a trust created separately from the will carries certain benefits:
• It can be written to exclude certain assets from the probate process so that funds are more readily available to care for your pet.
• It can be structured to provide for your pet even during a lengthy disability.
The HSUS also notes it's important to consult an attorney to determine and create the type of formal arrangement or legal document -- will, trust, power of attorney -- that is best for you and your pet, depending on your situation and needs. If you or your legal adviser would like more information, contact the HSUS Department of Philanthropy at (800) 808-7858 or the HSUS Office of the General Counsel at (202) 452-1100.
As responsible pet owners, we make lifetime commitments to our animals. That commitment continues, even if we die first.
Albert is a male husky mix. He's 2 years, 6 months old and weighs about 56 pounds.
Joon is a female schnauzer. She's 4 years old and weighs about 15 pounds.
Knight is a male black Labrador. He's 7 years old and weighs about 86 pounds.

I noticed that Aerodrums always crashes when trying to play certain songs. It actually crashes when AD tries to load the song. After a little study I found that the duration of a song matters.
The limit seems to be somewhere around 4 min 30 sec. Has anyone else noticed the same, or is it just me?

If I had once piece of advice to new authors – both indie and traditional – it would be this: expect change. Often. Some of it will happen regardless of whether you want it or not, and some of the changes will come from your heart and mind.
Take book covers, for example. My first two novels, Hot Shade and Into the Heat, were traditionally published by Boroughs Publishing Group. I didn't choose the covers, but I loved them nonetheless. They were classy, golden-hued and conveyed the setting: a tropical island in Florida. Plus, it was exciting to see my books in print!
When I got the rights back to those books and wanted to self-publish, I needed to hire a cover designer. I went with Hang Le, one of the best in the business. She made a set of colorful covers for the trilogy, all with sexy, shirtless guys. I adored those covers, and thought readers would be drawn to them. Who doesn't like shirtless men?
But in the end, those covers didn't quite work. Sales haven't been as good as I'd hoped. As pretty as they are, I don't think they conveyed the suspense plots of the series. This was entirely was my fault — I should have considered the true theme of the series: young women who are discovering secrets about love and adulthood. And so, I recently decided to pivot and try something new for this series. I think they're great novels and believe in them, which is why I'm interested in finding covers that fit the brand and the stories.
The ability to make decisions quickly: it's the beauty of being a self-published author.
So, drumroll, please…I'm excited to introduce you to my pretty new covers! Let me know what you think! They should be live on Amazon soon. They're by Aria Tan of Resplendent Media.
All of the books are in Kindle Unlimited!

Welcome to A Card a Day!
I have always believed strongly that the best way to learn tarot is to simply use your cards.
To work with them, regularly, and to listen to them. To listen to your own inner voice as you ask them questions and hear yourself answer, with the help of the cards, from depths you had not yet explored. Never mind 'memorising meanings', the best learning happens in the practice of using and exploring your cards.
My other course, the Alternative Tarot Course, teaches this skill. It leads the student through eight weeks of exercises which get you looking at your tarot cards from all kinds of different perspectives. It helps you to see their relevance to your own life, and thus encourages you to really internalise each card's energy, to really understand it from that personal level.
That said, I am also aware that most of us need prompts, ideas, existing interpretations to fill in the blanks.
It's very hard to look at an unfamiliar image and simply 'interpret it', especially in the context of a tarot reading. Whilst a few lucky people may pick up a deck of tarot cards and simply know what each one means to them on a deep intuitive level, the rest of us must start with study.
I created this course because I was asked, over and over, to provide an accessible guide to the tarot.
Folks were asking for a springboard, a starting point for their tarot studies. They were studying the Alternative Tarot Course and wanted a guide to use alongside it, or they were fans of Little Red Tarot and wanted a complete guide in the same style.
At the same time, I knew that the folks asking for this course also tended to be busy, with full, or hectic, or chaotic lives. I was determined to create a course that could be as light or as in-depth as each student needed. Something that would help folks to create a simple daily tarot-learning routine, but that could be easily fit into a busy schedule.
A Card a Day is the result!
It's a daily email course backed up by a library of card meanings that you can access anytime. Once you sign up for the emails, each day you'll receive one short email. Whether you have just five minutes to grab your card and learn a few key words, or you can put aside a little longer to read a deeper discussion of the card or even follow some journal prompts, it's designed to keep you moving through your cards, one by one, learning a little more each day.
My approach to tarot
My interpretations are formed from a mixture of traditional meanings learned from books, ideas picked up from current tarot bloggers and writers, and a heck of a lot of my own work. There are many cards that I have struggled to understand until they manifested in some way in my own life. They then ceased to be a staid archetype detailed in a book, and became something I could relate to myself. I think this is how most of us learn tarot best. It has to be relevant. My work, for the past six years, has been a deep dive into each of these cards, emerging with fragments of real life that help me to understand their messages.
So here they are – all of my ideas about the 78 cards that comprise this wonderful thing we know as tarot.
I hope you will take what resonates for you, leave what doesn't, and use this collection as a springboard for your own ideas. What I share in this course isn't 'right' or 'fact', there are no hard and fast interpretations that you must stick to. They are my own explorations of each card and some observations of how they appear in my life and the lives of my many clients.
I hope that ultimately you will feel able to 'throw out the book', as folks often say in tarot. It's only when you understand the cards in a deep and personal way that you'll really be reading tarot. But it takes a long time to reach that goal (I'm certainly still on the journey!) In the meantime, I hope this course and the ideas within it will help you on your way.
Next: How this course works

Three Simple Steps For Solving Pet Flea Problems Naturally
There are three steps that must be taken to get rid of fleas. One, you must get rid of the fleas on your pet. Two, you must get rid of the fleas in your house. Three, you must prevent flea re-infestation. All three of these things can be done naturally and without the use of pesticides.
Step 1 – Getting Rid of Fleas on Your Pet
Give your pet a bath using a natural, pesticide-free pet shampoo. Let the suds sit on your dog for a few minutes to drown the fleas. After the bath, most of the fleas will have drowned and will be dead, but the eggs will still be alive.
To kill the eggs and capture any remaining fleas, use a flea comb. A flea comb is a fine toothed comb that can be purchased in pet supply stores. The fleas and flea eggs get stuck in the teeth of the comb. When using the flea comb, have a cup of water nearby to dip the comb into whenever there are fleas or flea eggs in the teeth of the comb. Rinsing the comb off in the cup of water will contain and drown the fleas and prevent the eggs from hatching.
Thoroughly comb every part of your pets body, making sure to be gentle so you don't hurt your pet's skin with the pointy comb teeth.
Comb your pet with the pet comb daily until there are no more fleas or flea eggs.
Step 2 – Getting Rid of Fleas in Your House
Chances are that if your pet has fleas, so does your carpet.
Fleas and flea eggs can survive in carpet for quite a long time. The best natural way to get rid of them is with baking soda and salt. Both baking soda and salt dehydrates the fleas and kills them.
Sprinkle equal amounts of baking soda and salt on dry carpet. Note: Make sure the carpet does not get wet, or the baking soda could leave a white residue.
Leave the baking soda on the carpet for as long as possible or up to overnight. Vacuum carpet to remove all traces of baking soda and salt. The dead fleas and flea eggs should vacuum up along with the baking soda and salt mixture.
In addition to treating your carpets, launder pet bedding and human bedding frequently to get rid of flea eggs.
Step 3 – Prevent Flea Re-Infestation
If there are fleas on your pet and fleas on your carpet, there are probably fleas in your yard.
The best way to prevent fleas from jumping on your pet and coming back into the house is to use a natural deterrent. Diluted lemon juice water kills and deters fleas.
To make diluted lemon juice water:
- Slice one whole lemon (leave the peel on), pour 12 ounces of boiling water over the lemon and allow it to sit overnight.
- Remove the lemon slices and pour lemon water into a spray bottle.
- Spray lightly on pet.
- Watch to make sure that the lemon water does not irritate your pet's skin or make your pet itchy.
- If the lemon water does cause problems for your pet, discontinue use and regularly use the flea comb instead.
It is always a good idea to regularly brush your pet with a flea comb to catch fleas and flea eggs before they become a big problem.
Repeat Daily
Flea eggs can survive for weeks and even months before hatching. A couple fleas can quickly multiply into a full-blown infestation. So, it important to regularly treat your pet and home until the infestation is completely gone. Follow the above three flea control steps daily until there are no more signs of fleas.
Outdoor Flea Control
Sometimes the backyard becomes infested with fleas.Two environmentally friendly outdoor flea control options are flea nematodes and cedar.
Flea Nematodes
The best and safest way to get to get rid of outdoor fleas is to use flea nematodes. Flea nematodes are microscopic parasites that kill flea larvae. The nematodes are harmless to pets, humans and plants. You can purchase flea nematodes online or in some garden supply stores. To apply the flea nematodes to your yard, sprinkle them in a moist, shady spot.
Another non-toxic option for outdoor flea control is to spray cedar spray around your yard or sprinkle cedar chips or granules around your yard. Cedar is toxic to fleas and acts as a flea repellent. However, cedar is short acting and needs to be reapplied often. Purchase cedar sprays at pet stores or online and cedar chips and granules at garden supply stores.
Cedar Warnings
- Do not use cedar shavings or cedar products that contain a lot of dust. Inhaling the dust can cause respiratory distress in pets.
- Do not allow pets to eat cedar. The ingestion of cedar is toxic.
- Do not apply cedar oil directly on cats.
- Some pets may experience skin sensitivities to cedar. Remove the cedar if your pet exhibits skin reactions to it.

Even after washing and cleansing your face every day, there are dead skin cells that even the best face washes or cleansers miss out on. While they may help get rid of any superficial build up on the face, these face washes are not that effective at digging out the grime that's deeper in your skin. Enter exfoliation, a process that not only helps remove dead skin, blackheads and whiteheads, but also smoothen your skin texture. To scrub your way to a beautiful, glowing new you, it's important that you make this process an important part of your skincare regimen. Here's how:

Can face scrubbing cause darkness?12. What should you do after exfoliating your face?
DIY face scrub ideasWhy buy it when you can make it
Before you reach out for those commercial exfoliators and scrubs, here are some DIY facial scrub ideas that you can try at home. Freshly prepared using natural ingredients, these exfoliators are gentle on the skin and are also safe and economical.
Face Scrub - For a radiant glowTo fix tired skin immediately, use these easy-to-make face scrubs to revive, rejuvenate and add freshness to your face.
The caffeine in coffee improves blood circulation and stimulates the skin to add radiance and youthfulness. What's more, it also contains antioxidants, protects against UV damage and prevents against moisture loss.
1. Mix three teaspoons freshly ground coffee along with half a cup of yoghurt.
2. If you have dry skin, replace the yoghurt with full fat milk.
3. Blend in a mixer and leave aside for five minutes.
4. Once the mixture thickens, add one teaspoon honey and mix well.
5. Apply this mixture on the face and scrub in upward circular movements for about 8 to 10 minutes.
6. Wash off with cold water. Use this scrub twice a week for best results.
Chocolate is high in antioxidants and has anti-ageing properties. It also increases the production of collagen, hydrates skin and imparts a glow to the face making it silky soft.
1. Take two to three tablespoons of melted dark chocolate, one cup granulated sugar, two tablespoons ground coffee and half-a-cup coconut oil.
2. Mix all these ingredients together and store in an air-tight jar.
3. When you want to use it, scoop a few spoonfuls in a microwave safe bowl and heat it for 6 to 8 seconds. Scrub away to reveal soft, supple skin.
Coconut milk and almond
This face scrub will exfoliate the skin and help reduce the appearance of cellulite.
1. Combine two cups of white clay, one cup of grounded oats, four tablespoons grounded almonds and two tablespoons finely grounded roses together.
2. Add enough coconut milk to form a smooth paste.
3. Use this as a gentle face scrub for soft and supple skin.
Fresh fruits
Enzymes found in fruits have skin-cleansing properties. Use a fruit mash (papaya, banana, orange) to deep clean the pores. The enzymes and nutrients in the fruit pulp will add a glow to the skin while keeping it hydrated naturally.
Face Scrub - To remove tanningIf you just got back from a long beach holiday and are looking for ways to get rid of that tan, try these natural de-tanning scrubs.
Lemon, honey and sugar
Infused with natural exfoliants that remove dead skin cells, lemon can help clear up blackheads, acne, and also discolouration. Honey, on the other hand, works as a natural antioxidant, and helps moisturise and heal inflamed skin.
1. Mix together one cup sugar, half cup olive oil and one tablespoon honey.
2. To this, add the juice of one big lemon. Stir vigorously for some time.
3. Apply on your face and scrub for a few minutes before washing with cold water.
4. In case of dry skin, make sure you don't leave on the scrub for too long as it might make the skin flaky.
Tomato and yoghurt
Tomato is an excellent fruit that is known to remove tan easily from your skin. Also, the yoghurt acts as a natural bleach that will lighten your skin tone. Thus, a combination of both will work really well in removing the layer of tan from your skin. You can now make a scrub pack at home with 2 teaspoon tomato pulp, same quantity of yoghurt and a spoon of lemon juice. Mix it well and apply it over your face. Let it dry and then wash it away. You might feel a little itchy after applying the tomato juice. But, once it is dried, the sensation will fade away. This pack will help you get rid of the dark tanned layer from your skin.
Fuller's earth (multani mitti) and aloe vera
When it comes to skin care, there is almost nothing that fuller's earth can't take care of. From providing a soothing cum cooling effect to helping reduce any rashes and get rid of tans, fuller's earth is your best bet. Aloe vera gel, on the other hand, significantly helps lighten the skin and also works like a natural cleanser.
1. Mix together two cups of fuller's earth with one tablespoon of freshly extracted aloe vera gel.
2. You can either add a few drops of rose water or any of your favourite essential oils for an instant boost.
3. Mix well to make a fine paste.
4. Apply generously on to your face and neck and scrub for four to five minutes before washing off with cold water.
Face Scrub - For acne-prone and oily skinIn case of oily skin, it's important to regularly exfoliate your face so as to prevent breakouts and blemishes. However, make sure that you don't overdo it as it could result in excess sebum production which would be counterproductive.
Honey and cinnamon
The potent combo of honey and cinnamon will not only clear the pores, but will also add a glow to the skin. It is best for soothing inflamed skin. The anti-bacterial properties of both honey and cinnamon can help reduce breakouts.
1. Mix three tablespoons of raw organic honey with one tablespoon of freshly ground cinnamon powder.
2. Mix well so as to make a fine smooth paste.
3. Using a brush, apply this evenly over your face. Scrub gently in circular motions and wash off with cold water after 7 to 8 minutes.
4. After a few hours, wash your face with your normal cleanser and follow with a moisturiser.
Oatmeal is another easy and effective way to exfoliate the skin gently and free the pores of excess sebum. It removes the extra oil, clears the pores, and makes the skin clean.
1. Mix together one tablespoon each of whole milk and olive oil.
2. To this add two tablespoons of oatmeal and leave until the oats soften.
3. Now add a few drops of rose water and mix well.
4. Rub the mixture on your face, gently massaging it for two to three minutes.
5. Rinse with cold water.
Rice and honey
While rice is known for its exfoliating and skin brightening properties, honey on the other hand, helps heal and hydrate the skin.
1. Take two tablespoons of rice and grind them coarsely.
2. Add enough honey to make a thick paste.
3. After cleansing your face, apply this scrub evenly onto your face and massage with very light strokes.
4. Wash it off with lukewarm water and pat dry. Follow with a moisturiser.
Baking soda, honey and lemon juice
Baking soda deeply exfoliates the skin, helping get rid of any dirt, grime, dead cells and excess sebum from the skin pores. Lemon juice acts as a natural astringent reducing sebum production.
1. Add one tablespoon each of baking soda and lemon juice in a bowl. To this add half a tablespoon of raw honey.
2. Stir well to make a smooth paste and apply it to your face.
3. Gently scrub your face in circular motions for two to four minutes.
4. Wash it off with warm water followed by cold water.
Face Scrub - For dry skinExfoliating dry skin can be tricky as it could cause further dryness. Instead of skipping the scrubbing, simply opt for moisturising ingredients while putting together your DIY face scrub.
Honey, olive oil and brown sugar
Olive oil has anti-ageing properties and enhances exfoliation, while brown sugar helps fight bacteria, and honey moisturises dry skin.
1. Mix one tablespoon of brown sugar with one teaspoon each of honey and olive oil.
2. Stir well and then apply it to your face.
3. Gently scrub your face working upwards from the chin, in a circular motion for two to three minutes.
4. Wash off with warm water and later splash some cold water to close the skin pores. Use this twice a week for better results.
Green tea, sugar and honey
1. Cut open around 7 to 8 green tea bags and scoop out the contents. You could also recycle the ones that have already been used.
2. To this add half a cup of white sugar and around two to three tablespoons honey to make a thick, gritty paste.
3. Apply this evenly over your face and scrub for 5 to 6 minutes, focusing on the dry spots.
4. Wash off with cold water. Pat dry and finish with a moisturising lotion or serum.
How to exfoliate your face
A good session of exfoliation can work wonders for your dull, tired skin. As we've learned that this process helps unclog pores, paving the way for a brighter complexion, here's a guide to how you can go about exfoliating your skin:
Choose rightMake sure you opt for the right exfoliant or face scrub according to your skin type: For dry skin, go for light facial scrubs with super-fine particles and ingredients such as brown sugar and grape seed oil. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, use gentle scrubs such as baking soda, oats, etc., which help unclog the pores and reduce sebum production. For normal skin type, you could opt for scrubs with finely ground particles such as sugar that will absorb oil from your T-zone.
Always in circlesBeing too heavy-handed with the scrub can cause redness and inflammation. The ideal way to go about it is to rub your face gently in a circular motion.
What's nextIt's also important that you give your skin some TLC post exfoliation. Make sure to wash your face with lukewarm water and pat dry with a towel. Next, use a moisturiser or a hydrating serum to lock in the moisture before sleeping.
Don't overdo itExfoliating your face twice a week is enough for normal skin types. However, if you have sensitive skin, once a week is ideal. For people with oily skin, exfoliating your skin more than twice a week is recommended.
FAQs on homemade face scrubsQ
How often should I use face scrub?
A Over-exfoliation is one skincare mistake that almost all of us are guilty of. In an attempt to get rid of dry, flaky skin, we end up exfoliating too often or with a scrub that's too harsh. This, in turn, does you more harm than good–frequent breakouts, and much more. Exfoliating more than three times a week disrupts the topmost layer of the skin, which acts as a protective barrier layer. Too much scrubbing leaves your skin more sensitive to the sun's harsh UV rays, thereby paving way for easy tanning, rashes, age spots and sunburns. Further, certain store-bought scrubs can block your pores and cause whiteheads. Instead of having a set routine for how often you should exfoliate your face, simply listen to your skin. Exfoliate because your face looks tired or dull, and it deserves some care and love.
Are there any side-effects of homemade scrubs?
A Over-the-counter scrubs that have mineral oils, synthetics or chemicals can be harmful if your skin is sensitive. Natural exfoliants, on the other hand, can be an ideal choice. It's best to opt for scrubs made with natural ingredients such as sugar, salt, oils, honey, etc. These natural ingredients are not only great for the skin, but also don't cause any after-effects. However, it's important that you choose a scrub based on your skin type, sensitivity of the skin and on the number of times you'd ideally like to use it. If you happen to have a razor cut or bruises, steer clear from salt scrubs as it will aggravate the condition and burn the skin. Similarly, if you have sensitive skin, opt for face scrubs with sugar, honey, avocado and oatmeal.
I have dry and ance-prone skin, please suggest scrubs
A Acne-prone skin has even more tendency than normal skin to shed dead skin cells causing blackheads and whiteheads. Therefore, it's important that you follow a proper skincare regimen which includes exfoliation and regular scrubbing. Oatmeal makes for a good face scrub ingredient as it is not drying or harsh on the skin. You can also opt for sugar as it melts quickly and helps deeply cleanse your pores. Besides, sugar also helps get rid of dead skin cells paving way for new soft and smooth skin. Coffee, on the other hand acts as a natural oil reducer. The anti-bacterial and moisturising qualities of aloe vera make it effective in not only treating acne but also dry and flaky skin.
Can face scrubbing cause darkness?
A A very aggressive exfoliating regimen disrupts your skin's protective layer, making it overly sensitive to harsh UV rays, leading to easy tanning. Scrubbing or exfoliating too often can lead to skin injury, which in turn causes darkening of the skin. If you are someone who swears by over-the-counter peels and scrubs, the abrasive chemical in them are doing your skin more harm than good. It is important to know how far to push your limits when it comes to giving your skin some TLC. Your skin may not be able to tolerate much more exfoliation and therefore it's important that you intervene before your skin begins to show signs of darkening.
What should you do after exfoliating your face?
A Exfoliating or scrubbing alone won't help your skin retain its fresh and healthy look. It's important to note that what you do after exfoliating your face can either undo or maximise the benefits of exfoliation. While exfoliation doesn't really rob your skin of its moisture, exfoliating without following up with a good moisturiser over time can leave your skin dry and sensitive. It's best to follow up with a good moisturiser. While it's good to opt for natural hydrating oils or humectants, you can also reach out for store-bought products. If you're all for natural, glycerin is a great choice. It helps lock in the moisture leaving you with baby soft and supple skin. Jojoba oil, on the other hand, deeply penetrates into your skin helping maintain normal pH levels. If not, you can also opt for coconut oil which possesses significant moisturising and hydrating properties. While sun-protective moisturising lotions and creams offer protection from sun damage, it is best to use a good sunscreen in accompaniment to your moisturiser. Look for one with a high SPF for best results.

Jeremiah 51 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)
51 The Lord says,
"I will stir up the spirits of destroyers.
6 "People of Judah, run away from Babylon!
9 "The nations say, 'We would have healed Babylon.
10 "The people of Judah say,
11 "I have stirred up you kings of the Medes.
15 "I used my power to make the earth.
17 "No one has any sense.
20 "Babylon, you are my war club.
24 "Judah, I will pay Babylon back. You will see it with your own eyes. I will pay back all those who live in Babylon. I will pay them back for all the wrong things they have done in Zion," announces the Lord.
25 "Babylon, I am against you.
27 "Nations, lift up a banner in the land of Babylon!
33 The Lord who rules over all is the God of Israel. He says,
"The city of Babylon is like a threshing floor
34 The people of Jerusalem say,
36 So the Lord says,
"I will stand up for you.
41 "Babylon will be captured!
45 "Come out of there, my people!
49 "Babylon's people have killed my people Israel.
51 The people of Judah reply, "No one honors us anymore.
52 "But the days are coming," announces the Lord.
54 "The noise of people screaming comes from Babylon.
58 The Lord who rules over all says,
"Babylon's thick walls will fall down flat.
59 Jeremiah the prophet gave a message to the staff officer Seraiah, the son of Neriah. Neriah was the son of Mahseiah. Jeremiah told Seraiah to take the message with him to Babylon. Seraiah went there with Zedekiah, the king of Judah. He left in the fourth year of Zedekiah's rule. 60 Jeremiah had written about all the trouble that would come on Babylon. He had written it down on a scroll. It included everything that had been recorded about Babylon. 61 Jeremiah said to Seraiah, "When you get to Babylon, here's what I want you to do. Make sure that you read all these words out loud. 62 Then say, 'Lord, you have said you will destroy this place. You have said that no people or animals will live here. It will be empty forever.' 63 Finish reading the scroll. Tie a stone to it. Throw it into the Euphrates River. 64 Then say, 'In the same way, Babylon will sink down. It will never rise again. That is because I will bring such horrible trouble on it. And its people will fall along with it.' "
The words of Jeremiah end here.

The principle investigator, Grant Bullock, M.D., Ph.D., F.A.C.P., is a Clinical Instructor and member of the Faculty in the Department of Pathology at the University of Virginia (UVA). This K08 will support this investigator's transition to scientific independence in the field of anemia research. THE ENVIRONMENT: UVA's Pathology Department within the UVA School of Medicine is part of a large well funded biomedical research center with state-of-the-art core facilities and faculty with a history of effectively training clinician scientists. THE MENTOR: Professor Adam Goldfarb, M.D., F.A.C.P., is an ideal scientific and career mentor because he is an experienced leader in the field of molecular and cellular hematology and also is an expert practicing hematopathologist. In addition, an advisory committee of clinician scientists will meet with the candidate to provide scientific and career advice. The institution, mentor and the advisory committee members are committed to the success of the candidate. CAREER DEVELOPMENT/TRAINING ACTIVITIES: This 4- year career development plan will complete Dr. Bullock's transition to scientific independence as an academic hematopathologist. Mentoring will be more focused and formal during the first 2 years of the award and maintained at a lower intensity during the last 2 years of the award to facilitate scientific growth. A major goal of the independent research strategy described in this proposal is to obtain R01 funding during the third year. RESEARCH PLAN: Erythropoietin (Epo) is an essential cytokine for efficient red blood cell (rbc) production. Iron deficiency suppresses Epo-mediated rbc production by an unknown mechanism and causes anemia despite elevated serum Epo levels. The Epo receptor (EpoR) generates both inhibitory and stimulatory signals that suppress or promote rbc production, respectively. Iron deficiency may suppress rbc production by enforcing inhibitory signals generated by the EpoR. In this proposal we will determine the effects of iron deficiency on EpoR signaling using in vivo mouse models and physiologically relevant human cell culture models of iron deficiency anemia. Anemia affects the quality of life and the life expectancy of millions of people in the U.S. Many patients are either intolerant or unresponsive to available treatments, so alternative strategies are needed. Understanding how iron deficiency alters EpoR signaling pathways will provide new therapeutic targets for future anemia treatment strategies.
Anemia decreases the quality and the length of life of millions of people in the U.S. The growth factor erythropoietin (Epo) and the micronutrient iron are used to treat anemia, but these treatments do not help all anemic patients. Epo and iron can have harmful or fatal side-effects in some patients. This research study on the relationship between iron and Epo will provide new options for treating anemia.

Sample Philly
Kara Crombie • 2017 • Digital audio archive, interactive electronic console, speakers, wood, and metal housing structure • Franklin Square
Kara Crombie's Sample Philly was an interactive sculpture honoring Philadelphia's rich musical history. Doubling as an outdoor boom box and music production studio, participants could produce their own fantasy musical compositions from a vast archive of songs recorded in and about the city. Crombie's goal was that "participants with all degrees of musical ability and knowledge will be able to create layered songs with sampled audio from Philadelphia's collective musical culture." As she added,
"I have conceptualized this project with the city's children, the next generation of artists, specifically in mind. Sample Philly serves as a gateway for youth of Philadelphia to become acquainted with the city's musical history, and its ultimate goal is to provide an outlet for musical creativity at a time when art education has been cut back and the tools of musical expression have become inaccessible to many."
Crombie's sample bank included snippets from hundreds of notable Philadelphia songs, loops, speeches, and other sonic elements crowdsourced from local musicians, blending the sounds of the past and present. The audio archive referenced a diverse array of artists and public figures, including Frankie Avalon, David Bowie, the Dead Milkmen, DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, Gamble and Huff, Hall and Oates, Allen Iverson, King Britt, Patti LaBelle, Meek Mill, the Philadelphia Gay Men's Chorus, the Roots, Ursula Rucker, Santigold, Schoolly D, Kurt Vile, and more. Crombie initially proposed Sample Philly as a speculative monument during Monument Lab's discovery phase in 2015, supported by the Pew Center for Arts and Heritage.
Collaborators: Justin Geller (Music Director), Anders Uhl and Leon Phillpotts (Kiosk Fabricators and Co-Designers), Frank Musarra (Engineering Specialist), Tim Bieniosek (LED Specialist), Ric Allison (Console Support), Delta Gate Solutions (Metal Fabricators), and Schummers of Kensington
Partners: Mural Arts Philadelphia, The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, Historic Philadelphia. Sample Philly was presented as a part of the Monument Lab: Philadelphia (2017) exhibition.
Major support for Monument Lab 2017 projects staged in Philadelphia's five squares provided by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage. An expanded artist roster and projects at additional neighborhood sites made possible by the William Penn Foundation. Generous additional support provided by the National Endowment for the Arts. Full list of exhibition sponsors.
Project Manager: Corin Wilson
Artist Statement
Sample Philly is an interactive and evolving sculpture in Franklin Square that functions as a programmable drum machine and loop station that contains a sound bank of musical samples drawn from Philadelphia's rich musical history. Participants with all degrees of musical ability and knowledge will be able to create layered songs with sampled audio from Philadelphia's collective musical culture. I have conceptualized this project with the city's children, the next generation of artists, specifically in mind. Sample Philly serves as a gateway for children of Philadelphia to become acquainted with the city's musical history, and its ultimate goal is to provide an outlet for musical creativity in a time when art education has been cut back in Philadelphia and tools of musical expression are inaccessible to many children in the city. Because the monument is interactive, it can also function as a centerpiece for performance events in the city, as well as educational workshops in music production. Our city's musicians and future artists are also encouraged to contribute to the evolution of the project by submitting samples to the archive so that Sample Philly may be an ongoing documentation of our city's collective musical expression.

This week we are talking about MYTHS people have about affairs. So much magical thinking goes on in affairs. As ridiculous as some of the myths sound, when people are in affairs and actual biophysical things are happening in their bodies, it is quite possible they convince themselves the myths are true.
Myth #3: "Adultery is harmless."
Movies are just one venue in which adultery has been presented positively. The English Patient received twelve Oscar nominations including best picture of the year for its depiction of an adulterous relationship between a handsome count and the English-borne wife of his colleague. The Bridges of Madison County relates the story of an Iowa farmer's wife who has a brief extra-marital affair with a National Geographic Photographer that supposedly helped re-energize her marriage. The Prince of Tides received seven Oscar nominations and shows a married therapist bedding down with her married patient.
Even when affairs are not found out, they still have devastating effects on the family. Your time, energy, and heart are being given to something else besides your spouse and family. Your mind is somewhere else.
Affairs shatter trust, intimacy, and self-esteem in relationships. It can take years to recover from this. The movies and magazines do not show us the devastation the couple and their families have to endure after the affair. They really should have a movie on that.
Tomorrow Joleen will give us one more myth. Thank you for reading. Have a great day!

Mom of six Kristen Layne was heartbroken recently when her 9-year old son got a sad surprise after nobody showed up to his birthday party. Now, she is begging parents for one thing going forward.
As she detailed on her blog, Life on Peanut Layne, her son Mahlon was excited to have a birthday party because this was his first year in public school; he'd been home-schooled up until that point.
"This ninth birthday was supposed to be his year. His first real party with friends," wrote Layne.
MUST-READ: Boy with Down Syndrome Only Child Excluded from Birthday Party, Distraught Mother Does Something Extreme
When party time rolled around, the goodie bags were ready, the decorations were up, and Mahlon's bedroom was clean. He was thrilled about his "Diary Of A Wimpy Kid"-themed party, and he had even picked out a special outfit. But party time came and went, and as the moments ticked by, Layne snapping pictures of her son eagerly awaiting his guests, she realized something terrible: No one was coming.
Mahlon began to grow more and more upset, and his parents comforted him--though Layne had to sneak away to cry quietly in the bathroom. The devastated mother felt terrible. She'd been worried when she hadn't received any RSVPs for the party, but because they were new in town, she didn't know any of the parents personally yet or have phone numbers to check in with them.
Now, she wants parents to heed an important message: Always, ALWAYS have your child RSVP to another kid's party.
"I know you're busy, tired, stressed, have a million and one other things to do. I'm right there with you, but please the next time you're tempted to ignore the handwritten invitation from a classmate, please remember that there could be a child sitting at an empty party table, crying into his napkin, feeling unloved and rejected," wrote Layne, in a blog post that's received an outpouring of support from other parents. "Had we known that no one was coming, we would've changed the date or time, or we would've planned something extra special for him... We would've done anything to avoid the pain and devastation he experienced."
MUST-READ: Her Isolated Son Just Couldn't Connect With Other Kids, Until One Surprising Moment Changed Everything
Layne did note that the rest of Mahlon's family members did gather for pizza and to take him bowling, so he still got to celebrate. They've also received hundreds of birthday cards and positive messages since she posted about the incident.
"Mahlon's main concern was making sure that his friends still got their treat bags," added the mom.
Sounds like her message of always being kind has already spread to her sweet son.
