Tri-Flow dust collecting system filter elements have a multi-year service life, and are easy to maintain with an integral pulse-jet cleaning system.
Filter change-out is simple and "tool-free," and is done from the clean air plenum side, from outside the collector.
Tri-Flow high efficiency air filter technology offers a unique choice approaching HEPA level filtration in a self-cleaning configuration, at an affordable entry level cost, with a filter life 3-5 times that of conventional bag or cartridge-type filters.
Compact high-efficiency filter elements are tailored to the application; options include:
Antistatic versions are available for all Tri-Flow media. Other media is also available.
When the priority is overall filter efficiency and outlet emission standards, Tri-Flow from Tri-Mer Corporation is the superior choice.

- Approximately 25 percent of people who fall suffer injuries that include severe lacerations, hip fractures or traumatic brain injuries.
- 46 percent of people who were at least 65 years old in the year 2000 who suffered a fall were diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury.
- The majority of fractures suffered by Americans who are at least 65 years old occur because of a fall.
- The death rate from falls for people at least 65 years old has nearly tripled over the past 15 years in the United States.
- More than 20,000 people who were at least 65 years old were killed because of falls in the year 2009.
- More than 270,000 people suffered hip fractures because of falls in the United States in 2009.
Slip and Fall Accidents Amongst Older People - A Look at the Unfortunate Results
It's ironic to think that when we were children, we used to fall down nearly every day. We most likely have to work hard to even remember a few of these falls because the vast majority of them were almost immediately forgotten as we got right back up and went about our business. As we got older, we fell less but even if we were injured in a slip and fall accident we tended to heal quickly and move on with our lives. As we continue to get older, falls become more of a problem for us to the point where they are a real and present danger that can affect our health and even our ability to live out our days as we should. We have been serving clients as Las Vegas slip and fall lawyers at Bernstein & Poisson for 30 years. We have represented too many people who were injured in these accidents, and a very large percentage of them have been older. Almost every study or body of data that can be found with regards to slip and fall accidents and fall injuries and fatalities indicate clearly that older people face a higher risk of serious injuries and death from these incidents than others. Below are just a few considerations to keep in mind with regards to the potential results of slip and fall accidents as provided by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or the CDC:

Cabbage diet
I have already mentioned about the beneficial properties of cabbage. One of them is to use it as a tool for weight loss, and even a treatment for obesity. For this purpose, any cabbage is suitable – white cabbage, Chinese cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and broccoli.
Cabbage diet is very convenient, because cabbage is a nourishing product and there are plenty of recipes for its cooking – ragout, vegetable stuffed cabbage, sauerkraut, soup, salads. Furthermore, cabbage has low calorie content and contains a lot of fiber and vitamins which are essential for our organism.
There are many recipes for the diet with cabbage. I want propose one. This diet lasts for 7-10 days, and will help you to get rid of excess weight up to 10kg. It consists of breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast is very lightweight; you should drink green tea or coffee (without sugar). Lunch: cabbage salad with carrots, seasoned with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. You can add a salad up to 200g of boiled or steamed lean meat, chicken or fish. Dinner: salad of fresh or pickled cabbage. You can add one quail egg or half of chicken boiled egg. Any fruits are also allowed, except grapes and bananas. You should drink one glass of low-fat kefir two hours before bedtime.

A strange thing has started to happen in STO — I'm actually enjoying ground combat.
I don't even think I'm doing it right. I love my Engineers, but seriously? Their ground combat abilities are almost completely unappealing. Yay, I can build a bunker anywhere I want! Go forth, my little drone! Who cares. An emphasis on turtling and attrition draws out ground battles far too much. What I really want is to expose my enemies quickly and then disintegrate them with my split-beam rifles.
(In STO, there are few noises more satisfying than "AAHHH–WOOSH" noise of a vaporized enemy. In my heart, only the angry Klingon computer reporting that my enemy's shields comes close.)
In this regard, I've come to appreciate two kit-based engineer abilities — Weapons Malfunction (an expose attack which disables an opponent's weapon) and Quick Fix (which grants a significant boost to ranged damage output for a short while). Unfortunately, only one Engineer kit has both of these abilities, and its confined to Lt. Commander rank.
My solution? A team of science officers (and several Weapons Malfunctioning engies) expose my enemies, while I crouch and Quick Fix-it-up. It's a one-trick pony, but it's damn fun. Especially because my ugly Reman bridge officers creates an inordinate amount of exposed states. I guess his terrible looks frighten the enemy into submission?
But at some point, I should really consider making a science officer.

Overview: For Fraternities And Sororities - Our Services - College Judicial Consultants
You love being Greek. You love being part of something larger than yourself with traditions and rituals that in many cases go back more than a century. Being Greek is a commitment to values larger than yourself, the Greek community is an integral part of your campus's identity, and it is the most important part of your college experience. Unfortunately, things happen that sometimes put you and your fraternity or sorority in a negative light and jeopardize your continued existence. Sometimes it is an incident that happens at a completely different school and in a different fraternity, but it makes all fraternities and sororities look bad. Sometimes a party gets out of control despite your best intentions, mistakes are made, and you know there will be consequences come Monday. Sometimes someone misunderstands your pledge program and you are accused of hazing, even though you and your organization are dedicated to being hazing free. Sometimes a few members get out of control and get the whole fraternity or sorority in trouble, even though the rest of your chapter hates and did not support what they did.
We understand the complexities of Greek life on today's college campus, and we can help.
Our consultants not only understand what it means to be Greek, but have worked in Greek life and on Greek judicial matters for decades. We know mistakes happen, and we want to help your fraternity or sorority through the process to get you the best outcome possible. We know that being in a fraternity or sorority means you have pledged to live by a higher standard, but you shouldnot be accountable for things you did not do, "punished" excessively, or used as an example by anyone. Every organization has the support of dedicated professionals through their national organization, but that support does not necessarily mean that they are your best resource when your fraternity or sorority is in disciplinary trouble.
Self-governance does not mean you have to go through the hard times alone.
We offer a variety of services at every stage of the process, but we encourage an organization to get us involved as early as possible to ensure that you have the best chance for the best result. When something happens, contact us and speak with a consultant to get a sense of what we can do for you. The initial consultation is free and completely confidential. Greek life is important to you. Keeping your fraternity or sorority on campus and free from sanctions is important to us.
- Prepare you for the initial meetings to discuss what happened.
- Assist you during the investigation phase of the incident.
- Determine what resources to engage (alumni, national, support on campus, etc.)
- Help you communicate with your national or other interested stakeholders who may have a different process or goals than your school.
- Navigate your campus press.
- Help you prepare for a hearing by working with you to prepare your response, identify the best witnesses, understand the process, anticipate questions, and ensure that the proper procedure is followed.
- Work with you on an appeal if your organization is unhappy with the outcome.
- Perform other services as necessary.

The 2018 Global Terrorism Index found that deaths resulting from terrorism decreased 27% worldwide last year. Ninety-six of the 163 countries tracked by the index saw an improvement; 46 had declines. Sixty-seven countries had at least one death from terrorism in 2017 -- a drop from 2016's record high rate of 79 countries, according to the report.
The report was produced by the Institute for Economics & Peace, a nonpartisan think tank that develops metrics to study peace and its economic impact. It defines terrorism as "the threatened or actual use of illegal force and violence by a non-state actor to attain a political, economic, religious, or social goal through fear, coercion, or intimidation" and pulls its data from the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism.
There was a sharp decrease (52%) in deaths from terrorist attacks attributed to ISIS. Syria and Iraq -- where ISIS continues lose territory -- saw the most dramatic declines in numbers of deaths due to terrorism. Iraq saw 5,000 fewer deaths and Syria saw 1,000 fewer.
However, the two nations remain among the top 10 most affected by terrorism, along with Afghanistan, Nigeria, Somalia, Pakistan, Egypt, Congo, the Central African Republic and India. The report also found that ISIS was "still the deadliest terrorist group globally in 2017."
Europe saw its deaths by terrorism drop by 75% in 2017, a number that Institute for Economics & Peace executive chairman Steve Killelea called "absolutely dramatic."
"The marked improvements in Europe can be attributed to a number of reasons. ISIL has lost much of its attractiveness due to its military defeats and weakened capabilities to mount attacks in Europe. Increases in counter-terrorism funding, combined with better surveillance techniques, have also contributed to the steep reduction of deaths in Europe from terrorism," he explained.
The estimated financial impact of terrorism in 2017 was $52 billion, but the report notes that its true economic impact "is likely to be much higher."
The report found that far-right terrorism was on the rise in Western Europe and the United States, calling it "a growing concern."
"In the four years between 2013 and 2017, there were 66 deaths and 127 attacks caused in Western Europe and North America by far-right groups and individuals," the report stated.
The index identified 31 far-right extremist attacks and 17 deaths associated with them. These included the fatal stabbing of two people in Portland, Oregon, in May 2017 by a man shouting slurs at two African-American teenagers and the January 2017 Quebec mosque attack that left six dead.
"The majority of attacks were carried out by lone actors with far-right, white nationalist, or anti-Muslim beliefs," the report found.
The reporting on the increase in far-right attacks echoes the jump in hate crime reports in the US and Canada. The FBI said in November that reported hate crimes had jumped 17% in 2017 from the year prior. Canada saw an almost 50% jump in hate crimes in 2017, according to a federal government report published last week.

The Cherry Orchard is the last play by Russian playwright Anton Chekhov. It opened at the Moscow Art Theatre on 17 January 1904 in a production directed by Konstantin Stanislavski. Chekhov described the play as a comedy, with some elements of farce, though Stanislavski treated it as a tragedy. Since its first production, directors have contended with its dual nature.
The play concerns an aristocratic Russian landowner who returns to her family estate (which includes a large and well-known cherry orchard) just before it is auctioned to pay the mortgage. Unresponsive to offers to save the estate, she allows its sale to the son of a former serf; the family leaves to the sound of the cherry orchard being cut down. The story presents themes of cultural futility – both the futile attempts of the aristocracy to maintain its status and of the bourgeoisie to find meaning in its newfound materialism. It dramatises the socio-economic forces in Russia at the turn of the 20th century, including the rise of the middle class after the abolition of serfdom in the mid-19th century and the decline of the power of the aristocracy

THE PIÑATA KING Directed by: Paul Storrie, Chris Lee, Charlie Kwai 4 minutes
In Mexico, no child's birthday party is complete without a piñata. Piñatas made by the Piñata King, along with his family, friends and most of his fellow townspeople, are unique pieces of crafted artisanship. For some kids, the beauty of the piñata is worth more than the sweet goodies hidden inside. For others, it's still all about the goodies.
CLIMBING OUT OF A DISASTER Directed by: Dominic Gill 9 minutes
Bryant Huffman spent his days deep water soloing, sport climbing and bouldering as founder of Climbing Puerto Rico. Then Hurricane Maria dropped a nuclear bomb of water and wind, which destroyed much of the island. With his work as a guide temporarily suspended, Huffman and his climbing buddies put their skills to good use by morphing into emergency arborists. And out of the devastation comes a glimmer of something positive. The hurricane peeled huge chunks of limestone from cliffs, creating scores of new routes. Climbing Out of a Disaster is about shifting your perspective to see the silver lining in calamity.
LOS LECHEROS Directed by: Jim Cricchi 21 minutes
In 17 years of working at a dairy farm, manager Guillermo Ramos Bravo says he has never seen a person born in the U.S. ask his boss for a job. Third-generation farmer John Rosenow recalls a
time when farms were typically worked entirely by family; now, it's "about the last thing that you would do; it's something that's relegated to the immigrants." Los Lecheros explains that farms with immigrant employees produce 70 percent of the U.S. milk supply.

FREE LIKE THE BIRDS Directed by: Paola Mendoza 10 minutes
Precocious Sophie Cruz convinced her martial arts teacher to let her attend classes when she was just 3 years old. She is a luchadora, a fighter. So when her parents, who are undocumented immigrants, told her they don't have papers and could be deported back to Mexico, Sophie vowed to keep her family together. On a trip to Washington, D.C., Sophie, then just 6, cleared a security barrier to deliver her message to Pope Francis. In June, the U.S. Supreme Court will consider Deferred Action for Parents of Americans, which would grant protected status to Sophie's family and thousands of others and let them live free like the birds.
MANUEL Directed by: Gabriela Cavanagh 8 minutes
In a small shack by the train tracks on the outskirts of Old Havana, 87-year-old Manuel Quintana Godinez sells an exotic handmade concoction called Pru Oriental for a living. He advertises the drink as a kind of elixir, good for the kidneys, cystitis, migraines, gastritis, bronchitis, circulation and depression. It is, according to Manuel's hand-painted ad board, "A good drink for whatever age and interesting for those over 50." To drive the implied point home, the board also says, "If you have a stallion — it's restorative!" Like Manuel's tonic, this short profile piece is sweet and uplifting (and not just for those over 50).

Summer Transfer Window 2029: Le Mans FC
Hello and welcome to my first update in a while. There's a number of reasons why it's been a while but one of those is I just haven't had time to play Football Manager lately. As well as this, there's been a few in-game issues which I'll go into throughout the update.
But the best way to go is just to plough on, and I did that with Le Mans. It was always going to be a difficult Summer, though, for two major reasons. Firstly, much like the situation QPR find themselves in presently, Le Mans had players on Ligue 1 wages. The drop to Ligue 2 was a hitch in the road but unfortunately not gaining promotion at the latter end of last year has really sent the bills spiralling out of control. The revenue generated in Ligue 2 simply isn't enough. And because of this, the board have slashed the transfer and wage budgets. Last season, I had £7m in my transfer kitty and spent £215k per week on wages. This year, I'm expected to push on with no transfer budget (and 0% of the revenue earnt re-invested into transfers) and a £175k p/w wage budget. Because of that, I had to make some extremely tough decisions.
The second reason this was a particularly difficult Summer was the particularly odd rule put in place by the FFA in regards to number of non-EU players, for Ligue 2 clubs. For relegated Ligue 1 teams, you're allowed 4 non-EU players registered in your squad. This rule somewhat limited me last season in that I had a fifth player from Brazil unable to play. This annoyed me but I was willing to wait until the new season to bring him in. Then I realise that if you were in Ligue 2 last season, you're only allowed 2 non-EU players. This meant I had to cut my transfer prices dramatically. And I was not happy.
A season at Le Mans: a review
Welcome to the second update of my Le Mans career. For those of you that follow the blog, you'll know that it's been a while since I began the career, but other things have gotten in the way. Even with my customary routine of playing the first season at a new club without any in-depth analysis, it's still taken me a while to actually get it done. But there you go.
And in my first season, we finished just outside the promotion places of Ligue 2, in 5th place. Whilst I'm more than happy to spend another season in Ligue 2 in order to develop the talented youngsters we have, the club's accountants and directors aren't nearly as content. Whilst we had a transfer budget of £2m and wage budget of £200k p/w last season, the board have dropped this to £200k transfer budget and £175k wage budget. Considering we were already spending over the previous wage budget, at £205k, it's going to be extremely difficult to not only cut back, but also maintain a necessary title challenge.
However, as always, the first season is always done quickly and efficiently. Its main role is to make my life easier in the second season where I really begin to make my mark on a save. If you're ever having trouble getting into a save, I like to do this, as you become attached to the players and involved with the club despite the minimal input of effort. If you really don't fancy it then you can even holiday games and act as a Director of Football in your first season.
A new journey with LEMANS FC
Welcome to my very first update on the save game I've been playing since late last year. I started my career at Wolves in the 2012/13 season, in a bid to make them the dominant force in European football. I eventually achieved this goal in 2019 when I beat Manchester United on penalties in an enthralling matchup. Throughout the early '20s I then dominated English football and one the Champions League twice more.
But I needed a new challenge. I originally thought that challenge lay in London, with Arsenal. They had a talented squad with an incredibly potent attacking line, but it wasn't my squad. I wanted something more.
So I had a scour around. I wanted to make sure my next job was something I was going to stick with. The only pre-requisites for the job was that it had to be abroad and it had to be a team and a club I could build. I'd experienced English football with Wolves and Arsenal and something different was needed – Italy and France were my preferred destinations.

'Pick and mix' insurance is not without its risks
The days of health insurance policies that cover all procedures, in all hospitals, are coming to an end.
These traditional types of "comprehensive" health policies have become too expensive to provide and are certainly getting too expensive for most families to afford.
In a desperate bid to stop families ditching their cover, insurers have had to be inventive. But the downside to this innovation is that less is covered.
This means that not every procedure will be fully paid for; while excesses have been introduced across most plans. This is the amount of a claim you pay yourself before the insurer picks up the tab.
Last summer, Aviva stepped up this trend further, by launching its Focus plans that restrict the hospitals where it will pay for procedures. The plans were 20pc cheaper than similar policies.
Laya followed with no-frills plans of its own, also with major restrictions.
Now GloHealth has taken this cheap cover trend to a new level by offering stripped-down cover, and allowing consumers to build the type of plan they want, by paying for add-ons.
Its Net range of plans cover the basics, with the likes of cardiac treatment in high-tech hospitals and private hospital cover optional, for extra cost.
Other insurers are now expected to follow this.
There is little else insurers can do if they want to stem the exodus of people from the market. Already this year we have had about four separate premium hikes and we are only a quarter way into 2014.
The Government, and specifically Health Minister James Reilly, have heaped extra charges and costs on insurers, who in turn, have passed this on to consumers.
The move by Finance Minister Michael Noonan to restrict the tax reliefs on health cover in the last Budget has also hit families hard.
So the response to all of this is that health insurance will become a "pick and mix" product. Young families, for example, will design a policy leaving little cover for hip operations.
That is because orthopaedic procedures are in greater demand from older people.
But the risk in putting self-designed cover in place is that people will get caught out and end up having to go to a hospital or having a procedure done that they do not have cover for on their policy.
Health cover will be more affordable, but no-frills insurance is not without its risks.

If you are looking for my yesterday's GingerLoft post, click HERE.
I have a party invitation to show you today. It is based on the colour splash at PDCC, the sentiment challenge at Wee Memories and the challenge at CAS-ual Fridays (The Cat in the Hat).
I made these for my aunt who is a school Headmistress. She wants to throw a party for students who did a good job this year and specially for the weak students for doing a better job. I have pencil shaded the image and I kept the design minimal because I have to make quite a few of these including gift boxes (party favours) to keep one "Kinder surprise chocolate egg".
I pierced holes and added a bit of faux stitching. This is my first time stamping a Penny Black stamp correctly. As you guys know I don't have many inks.. just a few for edge distressing and only two stamp pads in Peony and Sepia. I have tried stamping these Penny Black stamps with the local black ink here but the result was more than pathetic, VERY blotchy. So today I tried ColorBox cats eye queue in Sepia Black (pigment ink) for this and THANK GOD it worked! The sentiment is from Schlosser Designs.
I have been asked one too many times how I give out my excessively dimensional cards, the ones with big ass flowers :D well, all my cards go in coordinating gift bags like the one above or boxes. Here I have used MS score board to make lattice grid on the bag, just to fancy it up a bit. I found the PERFECT ribbon for the bag handles!
GOOD NEWS!!! Two of my projects (both PDCC ones) are being featured at Catered Crop and my project's recipe is being used for the current challenge (shabby chic using pastel colours). Check it out HERE.
REMINDER: ONLY A FEW DAYS LEFT!! Don't forget to play along my challenge "Make your own ribbon/fabric flower(s)" at Yvonne's blog HERE, there is a ribbon prize for the winner. You will also find my ribbon flower tutorial there.
Challenges: PDCC97, Wee Memories, CFC18 (cat in the hat)

Jersey politicians call to nationalise shipping firm
Jersey's government should take control of struggling freight company Huelin-Renouf, according to an island politician.
Deputy Sean Power said saving the company should be a priority as it provided a vital link for the Channel Islands.
Senator Alan Maclean, Economic Development Minister, said the States might help on a short-term basis.
He said he did not think government should own the company.
The minister said he would make details of any plan to help the firm available in the next few days.
'Strategic link'
"All the options are being considered. It is a strategic link. Approximately 25% of the freight is handled by Huelin-Renouf," he said.
The company employs 40 people in Jersey and another 50 in Guernsey, Southampton and Cherbourg.
It operates a "lift-on lift-off" freight service with containers taken off the ship with large cranes.
Senator Maclean said: "It is difficult for governments to run businesses, I don't think that is a good position and the private sector is where the expertise is.
"We will do all we can to support the process and hope a private sector organisation or investor can become the salvation."
In a statement Huelin-Renouf said the company was in a "challenging and delicate position".
It said: "Every opportunity to secure this lifeline service continues to be worked on in the interests of the public, and the aim is to achieve this in the near future."
Senator Maclean said the company brought in the majority of the island's building supplies and the building industry could struggle if it went under.

There is very little that gets me as excited as skincare infused makeup, so when the new Vichy Teint Ideal range landed in my mail box I was so eager to tear into it. I received five pieces from the line, including the Teint Ideal Fluid Foundation, Teint Ideal Cream Foundation, Teint Ideal Compact Powder, Teint Ideal Bronzer in Sunkissed Glow and Teint Ideal Highlighter.
The Teint Ideal range is held beautifully in nude and gold packaging that feels high quality without feeling like a bag of marbles in your bag. The liquid foundation comes with a pump (which I honestly expect at this point) and the applicators included in both the bronzer and powder foundation are useful for putting product on your face. Pretty good, huh?
As I mentioned, this range contains skincare ingredients to improve your skin while you're wearing makeup. You can find a full list of ingredients here, but the short of it is that these products contain hylaronic acid (for moisturizing) and vitamins C and E (for brightening).
Vichy Teint Ideal Compact Powder in Light
Powder foundations and I don't often get along. I want more coverage out of my foundation that what I can often get out of a powder foundation without it looking cakey, and even though I have skin that leans more to the oily side of the combo-oily spectrum, powders rarely seem to work out for me. I thought that was just how powder foundations worked until I met the Teint Ideal Compact Powder. I was expecting to use this powder only as setting powder, as I do with my other powder foundations, but the first time I used it I was stunned.
This compact powder gave my skin an airbrushed look that I didn't think was possible. My pores looked invisible, my skin looked flawless. You can see in the photo below from my Joe Fresh Fall 2016 Collection review what I mean – I have dolls skin with this makeup on!
The powder has a light to medium, buildable coverage with a natural, skin-like finish. I almost find I don't need a setting spray with this powder (which I always use to get rid of the "powdery" look on my skin) and have skipped the setting spray more than I have in the past year before this. The powder is light feeling on the skin, I'd go so far as to say that it feels undetectable, and helps to keep me matte throughout the day. I still have blush on by the end of the day, which never happens without the powder, so that's pretty dang impressive to me.
It's just the slightest bit too dark for me which I notice more when I build up the coverage. I don't find it's that noticeable, especially when I blend it down my neck.
Have I raved about this enough? Maybe I should move on.
Vichy Teint Ideal Fluid Foundation in 15
Next up is the Vichy Teint Ideal Fluid Foundation in 15. This is the lightest shade available and is a bit dark for me, but not by much. It's almost perfect.
The foundation doesn't build up quite as much as the powder does so it definitely more of a light coverage than medium. The natural finish makes it look like you're not wearing any makeup at all, so it's perfect for every day. The Fluid Foundation is pretty luminous, but not in a greasy way. More in a dang, look at how healthy her skin is! way.
This foundation didn't wow me quite as much as the powder, but I still really enjoy it, especially when I set it with the powder. That is my perfect combination, right there, and I have been wearing it just about every day since I got the set. You can see them workin together here in my recent Maison Jacynthe review.
Vichy Teint Ideal Cream Foundation in 15 Ivory
If you have dry skin, listen up because this one's for you! The Vichy Teint Ideal Cream Foundation was made with you in mind, and is actually too moisturizing for me. It has a very similar coverage to the Fluid Foundation, and I believe it's meant to have a similar finish as well, though on my oiler skin it's definitely super luminous.
Funnily enough, this is actually the lightest out of the three foundations I have, even though they're all the lightest shades. You can see swatches below of the three foundations.
Vichy Teint Ideal Highlighter
Would you be shocked to hear that I only own three highlighters, and that this is one of them? Yeah. I haven't gotten that into the highlight craze because I'm so used to being paranoid about greasy skin, but since receiving the Vichy Teint Ideal Highlighter, I've worn it just about every day.
This little guy is a liquid, roll-on highlighter that is perfection on my fair skin. It's a creamy white colour that blends into the skin so perfectly, it's hard to overdo it. Liquid highlighters aren't usually my fave (the others ones I have are powder), but I really really love this one. It's so easy to use! I just roll a bit onto the skin, blend it out with my fingers and done!
It doesn't last all day on me, which I think is a mixture of my skin type and the liquid format of the highlight.
Vichy Teint Ideal Bronzer in Sunkissed Glow
I haven't been into bronzers as much as I used to be, but I still get excited whenever I get to try a new one. The Vichy Teint Ideal Bronzer in Sunkissed Glow is a warm terracotta shade that I have to use a very light hand with, or risk looking orange. It blends beautifully into the skin though, and I even like the little brush that comes with it.
I don't use this one to contour with and I'm even a bit nervous to use it on the perimeter of my face – I've gotta blend it reaaaal well! It's super pretty over the nose/tops of the cheeks and on the forehead though!
In the makeup look above I am wearing:
- Vichy Teint Ideal Cream Foundation in 15 Light
- Benefit Erase Paste in Fair
- Vichy Teint Ideal Powder Compact in Light
- Tarte Exposed Blush
- Vichy Teint Ideal Bronzer in Sunkissed Glow
- Vichy Teint Ideal Highlight
- Kat von D Lock-It Colour Correcting Primer

Liverpool agrees to deal for sale of Luis Suarez to Barcelona
Liverpool have finalized the terms of a club-record fee with Barcelona for the sale of striker Luis Suarez.
Official talks began over a week ago and were productive from the start with the Catalan side agreeing to meet the Uruguay international's buy-out clause, believed to be £75million ($128 million).
Subsequent negotiations continued over the method of payment as the Reds were interested in taking forward Alexis Sanchez as a makeweight in the deal but with the Chile international having signed for Arsenal on Thursday it became a straight cash transaction.
The finer details of how exactly that is to be paid have now been hammered out and Suarez, currently serving a four-month ban for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup, is likely to be confirmed as a Barcelona player next week.
"Liverpool FC confirms that Luis Suarez will be leaving the club after a transfer agreement was reached with FC Barcelona. The player now has permission to complete the usual formalities, which will then conclude the transfer," said a statement,
"We would like to thank Luis for his contribution and the role he played in helping bring Champions League football back to Anfield.
From today, we're all following @luis16suarez. Welcome to @fcbarcelona #SuarezFCB http://t.co/tOzYobZiVN pic.twitter.com/HRwptQgTaJ
— FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) July 11, 2014
"Everyone at Liverpool Football Club wishes Luis and his family well for the future."
Suarez said it had always been a dream and ambition of his to play in Spain and he asked fans to understand his decision.
"It is with a heavy heart that I leave Liverpool for a new life and new challenges in Spain," said the 27-year-old, whose move to Barcelona takes him closer to his wife Sofia's family.
"Both me and my family have fallen in love with this club and with the city but most of all I have fallen in love with the incredible fans.
"You have always supported me and we, as a family, will never forget it, we will always be Liverpool supporters.
"I hope you can all understand why I have made this decision. This club did all they could to get me to stay, but playing and living in Spain, where my wife's family live, is a lifelong dream and ambition. I believe now the timing is right.
"I wish Brendan Rodgers and the team well for the future. The club is in great hands and I'm sure will be successful again next season.
"I am very proud I have played my part in helping to return Liverpool to the elite of the Premier League and in particular back into the Champions League.
"Thank you again for some great moments and memories. You'll Never Walk Alone."
Suarez's ban from all football-related activity does not extend to undergoing a medical or completing a transfer and he will travel to Spain next week to complete the deal.
However, it will prevent him from training with his new team-mates when they arrive in England for a pre-season camp at St George's Park.
"FC Barcelona and Liverpool FC have reached an agreement for the transfer of Luis Suarez," said a statement from Barcelona.
"The Uruguayan will be traveling to Barcelona next week for a medical, to sign his five-year contract and to be officially presented to the media and fans as a FC Barcelona player."

— Liverpool FC (@LFC) July 11, 2014
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said it was with heavy heart they were losing a player of Suarez's quality.
"Luis is a very special talent and I thank him for the role he has played in the team in the past two years, during my time at Liverpool," he told liverpoolfc.com.
"I think he would be the first to accept he has improved as a player over that period, along with the team, and has benefited from being here as we have benefited from him.
"The club have done all they can over a sustained period of time to try to keep Luis at Liverpool.
"It is with great reluctance and following lengthy discussions we have eventually agreed to his wishes to move to Spain for new experiences and challenges.
"We wish him and his young family well; we will always consider them to be friends.
"We are focused on the future, as we strive to continue with the progress we have made and build on last season's excellent Barclays Premier League campaign.
"I am confident we will improve the team further and will be stronger for this coming season, when we will be competing on all fronts; domestically and in the greatest club competition in the world, the Champions League.

"If there is one thing the history of this great club teaches us, it is that Liverpool FC is bigger than any individual.
"I hope our supporters continue to dream and believe that we are moving forward and with continued improvement and progression, together we will bring the success we all crave and deserve."
Barcelona face a logistical conundrum in terms of Suarez's presentation as their player next week – usually done at the Nou Camp which is opened up to fans – as his worldwide suspension extends to entering any football ground.
The striker is currently weighing up his next move after FIFA rejected an appeal by the player and the Uruguay football federation (AUF) against the ban.
Suarez can now make a further appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport and can also ask the court to suspend the ban pending a final decision.
CAS may refuse to do so, but if it agrees, it could mean Suarez could be available at the start of the domestic season.
The downside, however, is that if CAS puts the ban on hold, it means that, instead of Suarez being banned for a month of the close season when no clubs are playing, he would instead face being out for even longer when the campaign starts.
If Suarez and the AUF want to pursue the matter with CAS, they have 10 days to request the written reasons for the appeal being rejected by FIFA, after which they can lodge a further appeal with CAS.

Supervisors hear pros, cons of frac-sand mining
By Lissa Blake
Wednesday, March 6, 2013 5:51 AM
Although there are currently no permit applications to mine frac sand in Winneshiek County, a number of concerned citizens want to make sure county officials have a plan to deal with them.
At Monday's meeting of the Winneshiek County Board of Supervisors, Decorah resident Rob Carbonell asked the Board to consider an 18-month moratorium on frac-sand mining in the county, similar to the moratorium, which recently went into effect in Allamakee County.
After thanking the Supervisors for their service to the community, Carbonell encouraged the Board to enact a moratorium, explaining, "It helps you buy time to do right by everyone in the county."
Carbonell also commented the Board is responsible for making sure the county's roads are maintained and suggested if they didn't want to make a decision about whether or not to allow frac-sand mining, the issue could be put to a popular vote.
"I'm not a knee-jerk environmentalist. I like my hot water and my gas stove. I would be a hypocrite if I said otherwise," he said.
"But there are other resources. A company called Carboceramics (no relation to Carbonell) is manufacturing a ceramic fracturing product that has proven superior to sand. It has a higher initial yield and better long-term performance. This sand is not those companies' only options, just the cheapest quickest one," said Carbonell.
"I'd be willing to pay a little more for my natural gas bill to know my trout streams aren't going to become over-silted, tourism won't go in the toilet and what used to be pretty is not."
Carbonell added he understands the need for sand mining, but asked that it be done "reasonably, sensibly and sustainably."
Craig Cutting of Decorah, representing the Winneshiek County Protectors, next addressed the Board.
He said the Winneshiek County Protectors is a group, which was organized about four months ago, with a mission to "seek and protect the natural resources and the public health and well-being of Winneshiek County."
"We're not a pro or con organization, or a political organization. We're trying to bring information to residents and the governing organizations of this county," said Cutting.
Cutting said with regard to mining and extraction, he thinks the county needs more rules.
"Are we going to allow open pit or shaft (mining), or run 24/7 with lights, diesel fuel and dust," asked Cutting.
"Are we going to have some kind of regulation on that?"
A dialogue
John Beard of Decorah said he thinks the most important reason for a moratorium would be to initiate a dialogue about the practice.
"I don't think anyone is seriously suggesting that we just ban sand mining. We need to learn from our neighbors in Wisconsin, where that industry has been pursued at a scale that is historical," said Beard, a former state legislator.
He said within Northeast Iowa, Southeast Minnesota and Southwest Wisconsin, trout fishing contributes $1.2 billion to local economies.
"All I ask is that if we're going to use this resource (sand), we do it in a way that doesn't threaten our natural resources," said Beard.
"We need to think about groundwater, trout streams, public health, transportation infrastructure and viewscapes ... The Board of Supervisors needs time to look at what they can do. The state Legislature needs time to set a ground-floor regulation so state permits are required. They do that for other industries, such as feedlots, solid-waste facilities. We need time. Otherwise we're going to end up with the scenarios we've seen in Wisconsin," he said, referring to blacktop roads being destroyed by truck traffic, reduced property values and water- and air-quality concerns.
When asked by Supervisor Dean Thompson if Legislators in Des Moines are paying attention to the frac-sand mining issue, Beard said he has been told it's a "regional" issue, but they said they would do an interim study.
Lack of information
John Rodecap, a farmer and former ISU Extension watershed coordinator from Calmar, said he is not opposed to frac-sand mining, but is concerned that it be done safely.
"We lack information about this type of mining. This sand is located along streams in Winneshiek and Allamakee County, often on long, winding roads with frequent bridges, with the potential for high maintenance costs," said Rodecap.
He added Winneshiek County needs to access more information relative to the possibility of contaminants leaching into groundwater.
"I support a moratorium on frac-sand mining. We need more information before we move forward," said Rodecap.
Status quo
Decorah attorney Karl Knudson, who represents both the Allamakee County Protectors and the Winneshiek County Protectors, suggested a moratorium would "preserve the status quo while study can be completed."
Knudson added a moratorium would give the Supervisors time to look at a comprehensive zoning ordinance.
"You shouldn't wait for requests to be filed, if you can get a moratorium in place before you have to rule on a request," he said.
Always two sides
Kurt Oakes, general manager of Olson Explosives of Decorah, said he thinks a compromise can be made on this issue without illegitimizing the mining industry.
"It certainly is a political hot-button issue, but the operators that are in the industry are, for the most part, good operators. They believe in sustainability and what is sustainable so the environment isn't compromised," said Oakes.
"As long as companies that are in this industry utilize proper planning and engineering and design parameters, these are environmentally safe practices," said Oakes.
He explained the mining industry operates under the close supervision of the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), which is part of the U.S. Department of Labor.
"MSHA inspects operations twice a year. If they're underground, they inspect four times a year. To make things more interesting, they can come in any time they want. It's the same way with the Department of Natural Resources," said Oakes.
In addition, Oakes explained he doesn't think Winneshiek County will be targeted for frac-sand mining, due to the fact the county's rail system is at the south end of the county.
"The St. Peter sandstone is at a significant depth, which is not as attractive to these operators. They know they will have to invest more money," he said.
Oakes also said he thinks the natural gas market has hit its peak and is actually declining.
"Not to say it won't come back..." he added.
He added there are stipulations that are regularly placed on companies in order to preserve the environment.
"We all love the beauty of this region. In the conditional-use process, we can put scenic easements in place, so the mines are not seen from the road," he said.
With regard to a question about polyacrylimides, a "flocculant," or chemical used in the processing of the mined sand, Oakes said it is "a commonplace product that is used to purify drinking water.
"That's one of those things that misinformation and social networking have really blown out of proportion," he said.
Oakes added it is interesting to him the county is having the discussion on frac sand.
"It's important for people to realize where the things come from that make our life better. If it can't be grown, it has to be mined. A lot of us in society want to benefit from these things, but a large portion of society doesn't want it their backyard," he said.
"As professionals in this industry, it's our responsibility to do it right and there are processes in place to do it right," he said.

The TEXTJOIN function was recently introduced in Excel 2016, and a number of fascinating formula solutions have been created with this function. One of these formulas used TEXTJOIN to create a one-cell delimited string of unique items from a list. To see how that was done, go to:
The methodology for making a 1D array from a 2D Excel range was created and described in great detail at:
It was subsequently used to make a unique list from that range. The following formula uses a slightly modified version of that methodology.
where the required defined named formulas are:
Range1 =Sheet1!$H$2:$L4)
Again, these formulas were not created by me, but the TEXTJOIN shown above does create a one-cell comma-delimited string from the 2D range Sheet1:!$H$2:$L4).
For a VBA solution to this same problem, see:
I needed a way to transform a 3D range in Excel to a 2D array. Luckily, this had already been done recently. Here is the formula:
This formula was created by MichaelCH as part of the collaboration at the amazing excelxor.com site.
See: https://excelxor.com/2016/04/08/advanced-formula-challenge-13-single-array-containing-all-entries-from-a-given-range-in-multiple-worksheets
Since this formula creates a 2D array from a 3D array, I was hopeful that it could be used in the same way that a "real" Excel 2D range is transformed to a 1D array. In particular, I was concerned that the COLUMNS function would not work on a 2D array, but it did! I just had never tried it before.
In order to modify Arry1 for correct scaling for the 3D range, the following defined formulas were needed:
Sheets={"Sheet1″,"Sheet2″,"Sheet3","Sheet4"} 'in this example
The modification of Arry1 to 3D scaling is shown below:
along with the other transform array formulas.
The resulting formula using TEXTJOIN affords the desired one cell delimited string on unique items from a 3D range.
Apart from using the created array with TEXJOIN, the transforming of a 3D range in Excel to a 1D array is also noteworthy.
Here is the link to download the file. Remember though, that you have to have the Excel version in Office 365 in order for the TEXTJOIN formulas to work.

A heavy thunderstorm soundtrack extended over 8 hours, making it perfect for an all night sleep track. You'll hear lots of thunder claps, howling wind and heavy rain pouring down out of the clouds.
The sound of rain can be very calming and soothing, so this track can be played in the background during the daytime to help you relax and reduce stress. The rain and wind sounds are also very useful for blocking out distracting sounds, so you could also use this with headphones on, while working or studying in a noisy working environment.

Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes described Wednesday's prostitution bust in which 17 people and five corporations were indicted as a major take-down.
The alleged pimps operated escort service websites that raked in more than $7 million in the last three years.
When a reporter asked Hynes to describe the significance of the arrests, the veteran prosecutor said confidently, "This is pretty big."
In all, prosecutors accuse 17 alleged "cyber pimps" of using five different websites to advertise high-priced escorts. The website URLs include addresses like highclassny.com, angelofyourchoice.com and descreteclub.com.
Despite the fact that nearly all of the suspects in the prostitution ring have been arrested and charged, NBC New York found the websites they used to facilitate the business are still operational.
A phone number clearly printed on the angelofyourchoice.com homepage led NBC New York to a receptionist who offered to book an escort named "Jane" for $600 an hour.
"She is on 43rd Street and Broadway, that's the Carter Hotel, I think," said the unidentified voice.
When NBC New York took a hidden camera to the hotel, a blond woman who called herself Jane answered the hotel room door. After a few pleasantries, she outlined her price schedule.
"Six hundred for one hour," said the self-described model.
She insisted any cash she might receive would be for her companionship only, but detectives say angelofyourchoice.com is really a front for pure prostitution.
When asked why the escort websites are still operational despite the arrests of the site managers, a spokesperson for the Brooklyn District Attorney told NBC New York the investigation is ongoing.
Mikhail Yampolsky, the alleged leader of the prostitution ring , faces 25 years in prison if convicted on charges including enterprise corruption and money laundering.
Sixteen other defendants face the same charges.
Even After Prostitution Bust, Escort Websites Continue Selling Skin
