Catrice Cosmetics recently launched new lipstick range called Luminous Lips. The brand can be found in drugstores in several countries, sadly, it's not available in Norway. There are 14 shades from nudes and pinks to reds. Some of them have shimmer, some of them – don't.
I picked two of the shades because some of the colours that I wanted were not available when my boyfriend visited Germany. They are 100 Me, My Macaron & I and 120 Wood Rose Propose?.
What caught my eye first was the packaging. It's pretty, it's heavy and sturdy and it doesn't look cheap.
Both of the shades have creamy and light texture, it's really comfortable to wear them because they feel hydrating. The finish is glossy with medium pigmentation that can be built up. The formula contains hyaluronic acid to plump the lips. They don't last more than an hour on me but because they're pretty balmy, it's not a problem to reapply them.
100 Me, My Macaron & I contains silver shimmer but it's not so obvious. The shade is a fuchsia pink one with purple tones and on the swatches that I saw it looked much more purple. It's a bit disappointing because I wasn't looking for such a bright pink shade but it does make me look more fresh and vibrant. I think it would look very elegant on pretty light skin tones.
120 Wood Rose Propose? has no shimmer in it (win!) and is a pretty everyday brown nude with a hint of peach. Looks sophisticated and is perfect for the days when you want to look a bit more polished without trying too hard.
Overall, I really like these lipsticks, I've been wearing 120 Wood Rose Propose? very often in the past few weeks and I'd get more shades if I'm near a Catrice counter.
Do you have any of the Catrice Luminous Lips lipstick shades?

What does Captain Tony do when the weather in Alaska is bitter and everyone up there is hibernating? Among many other things he works in a few visits to places where Wild Alaska Salmon and Seafood is sold. More and more Farmer's Markets and buyers groups like the "Fish Parade" in Atlanta, come to depend on Tony's visits with his trailer of wild Alaska salmon. When he did his last trip South, he was interviewed about his involvement at the Chattanooga Farmer's Market on the occasion of the opening of their market season.
Captain Tony, Heather, little Max, their dog and the crew are now getting ready to go back up to King Salmon Alaska for the start of salmon season.
Here what Tony had to say.

If you've been by the Pier recently, we're sure you noticed all the snow in Gateway Park (it's pretty hard to miss) and if you came by Wednesday or Thursday, you also probably noticed teams hard at work on a series of snow blocks. While the snow sculpting competition officially begins this weekend, you can't expect the elaborate sculptures to come together overnight which is why we've given our snow artisans a little head start!

Come by between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. tomorrow to cast your vote for the People's Choice Award! It's going to be a difficult choice between spectacular sculptures as varied as a sea horse, a dragon being slain by an angel, and a man rooting around in an empty fridge!
And make sure you stick around for the Awards Ceremony at 6 p.m. tomorrow on our indoor Family Pavilion Stage. First prize will receive $1500, second prize $1000, and third prize $500; that certainly isn't chump change! Plus if you stay late, you'll be able to enjoy the festive lights illuminating the sculptures each night!
While you're at Snow Days, make sure you also check out the beautiful designs of our CPS high school teams, get the kids in a line for a chance to hit the snowboarding course, and head inside to our Family Pavilion for great entertainment from dueling pianos to DJ grooves to a dance crew that will get you moving!

For my first president's message, I want to thank our outgoing president, Sherrie Perkins, for all of the excellent work she did in her term.

SPCA Auckland
SPCA Cupcake Day 2015
As a charity, SPCA NZ relies almost entirely on the generosity of New Zealanders to carry out its role of protecting animals. In 2015, Porter Novelli was tasked with creating a fresh and dynamic campaign for SPCA Cupcake Day, the charity's annual national fundraising appeal.
While pulling on the heartstrings of animal lovers is a piece of cake, getting them to contribute to the seventh year of a fundraising appeal is not so easy. In 2015, the SPCA wanted to inform people of its crucial role in relation to animal rescue, while raising awareness of SPCA Cupcake Day to generate participation in the fundraising appeal, and ultimately drive donations.
Campaign highlights include:
· Hard-hitting animal rescue stories published in local and national newspapers
· 'A day in the life' of an SPCA inspector aired on primetime current affairs television
· Cupcake recipes shared across some of New Zealand's best known print and online publications
· Social media and live television reach achieved through gifting three celebrity animal lovers' personalised cupcakes in the image of their pet
· New Zealand's most elaborate cupcake crafted by popular dessert restaurant Milse auctioned on Trade Me.
The campaign was a phenomenal success with significant increases in participant registration and conversation, and fundraising targets exceeded by 12 per cent.

Jen Selter Continues 21st Birthday Celebrations at TAO Beach
Saturday afternoon, Instagram star Jen Selter continued her 21st birthday celebrations at TAO Beach at The Venetian in Las Vegas.
Check out photos of Jen Seter at TAO Nightclub
As she arrived at the daytime party, Selter sizzled in a black bikini with a lace sarong. The group, including Selter and her family and friends, took over a VIP cabana near the DJ booth where Selter was surprised with a custom birthday cake. She graciously took photos with several fans throughout the afternoon as they danced to the sounds of Eric D-Lux.
Later that evening, Selter and friends dined at LAVO Italian Restaurant before making their way to Marquee Nightclub. The birthday girl enjoyed the euphoric sounds of Kaskade from a dance floor VIP table at the latest installment of his Summer Lovin' residency.

What Jen Selter Likes About Social Media
"I've always had a passion for social media: Facebook, Twitter and especially Instagram. Fitness has always been a huge part of my life and the combination of both my passions worked to my benefit. Despite my parents and friends' frustration with how time consuming this all can be, I always keep my focus and carry on.
This is what I do best, and motivating people to work out and be healthy is what I love most. I never thought my numbers on social media, especially on Instagram, would blow up and increase as high as they did, and it makes me very happy knowing that so many people are inspired by my workout techniques and healthy lifestyle. If you're good at something and it's where your heart is, the success will follow naturally. I really am thankful for those who support me."

February 22, 2017
(February 22, 2017, Mississauga, ON) A national summit is being hosted today in Ottawa dedicated to improving health care access and equity in rural communities in Canada. Advancing Rural Family Medicine: The Canadian Collaborative Taskforce is a partnership between the Society of Rural Physicians of Canada (SRPC) and the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC). Discussions will focus on a new release called the Rural Road Map for Action that provides 20 recommendations to enhance rural health care. Stakeholders develop implementation strategies, identify priorities, and share innovative approaches and measures of success.
The recommendations identify four directions outlined in the Rural Road Map that aim to:
The Summit agenda will focus on how the report recommendations can be translated into actions that are coordinated, comprehensive, measurable, and sustainable. The aim is to engage all stakeholders in applying these recommendations to future policy-making and planning, as well as to identify roles in addressing issues related to health care equity for rural Canada.
The Summit unites national leaders in education, practice and human resource planning, as well as physicians of rural and Indigenous communities. Participants include leaders from health care organizations, educational bodies, government, research organizations, rural and Indigenous communities.
A final report with Summit outcomes will follow.
About Advancing Rural Family Medicine: The Canadian Collaborative TaskforceIn 2014, the CFPC and the SRPC embarked on a joint initiative to develop a pan-Canadian framework to strengthen the rural physician workforce, provide high-quality culturally safe care, and improve access for all people living in rural and remote communities across Canada. In 2015 the Taskforce conducted a focused review of rural training and practice at the education and health system levels and published their findings in a background document titled Review of Family Medicine Within Rural and Remote Canada: Education, Practice, and Policy. More information about the Taskforce is available online.

Creatures you are Sure to Find on the Great Barrier Reef
With its endless horizon of blue, its warm welcoming waters and its bountiful coral gardens exploring the bliss of the Great Barrier Reef is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Hailed as one of the seven wonders of the natural world you can soak up the sights by air, sea and land. One of the best ways to discover the bounty that lies beneath is to indulge in a spot of scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef. The world waiting under the waves is a kaleidoscope of pure color and is sure to ignite your imagination.
Rainbow Corals
With over four hundred types of coral you can watch the different shades bloom and wilt in front of your eyes. Yet there is more than rainbow coral to explore as the Great Barrier Reef is home to hundreds of marine animals. When you dive on the Great Barrier Reef you can find creatures both big and small, from the humpback whale to the tiniest hermit crabs, the reef is a sheer world of wonder.
Whales and Dolphins
Of course whales are hard to spot when scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef as they tend to splash in the deepest waters as far from land as can be. Yet in the popular scuba diving spots on the Great Barrier Reef you can see timid reef sharks drifting down in the shadows or even dolphins playfully splashing along the surface.
Turtles and Snakes
Turtles are another popular species you are sure to see when scuba diving on the reef, these wizened creatures float along gracefully with the green sea turtle being one of the least elusive. The occasional sea snake may wriggle past your eyes but these creatures are no cause for concern.
Finding Nemo
Down beneath the endless watery sky of blue you are sure to see scores upon scores of fishes in every shade imaginable. One of the most famous residents of the Great Barrier Reef is the Nemo fish also known as the Clown fish after the fabulously famous Pixar film Finding Nemo. Yet you will see plenty of other incredible shoals swimming beneath the surface including elegant Angelfish, beautiful Butterfly fish, tiny Gobies and plenty of impressively sized Groupers and Cod.
Prickly Starfish
Along with the teeming array of marine life you will also witness the bounty of sea anemones, prickly starfish and of course impressive coral stretching as far as the eye can see. Scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef is a rare delight for all the senses and should be at the top of your bucket list.
If you would like to spend more time at the reef to meet these wonderfull creatures, check out our 3 Day or 2 Day Great Barrier Reef Liveaboard Tour.

The SUNY Impact Foundation awards grants for projects that will impact the lives of SUNY students across the system. Our targeted funding allows us to scale proven programs and pilot innovation among 64 campuses, 1.4 million students, and 19,000 faculty. By engaging with the system, we clear common obstacles that stand in the way of student success to ensure student retention and persistence.
Established in 1967, SUNY's Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) is renowned for its effectiveness in providing college access and promoting student success for disadvantaged NYS residents who have academic promise but whose life circumstances have not permitted them to reach their potential. On the eve of the program's 50th anniversary, we are seeking partnerships with external funders to expand and enhance this proven, evidence based strategy. We have $8M worth of Impact Opportunities to increase program enrollment, expand the number of campuses that offer Summer Bridge programs, support degree completion, and offer more Graduate School Opportunity programs.
On May 17, 2017, the SUNY Impact Foundation commemorated its launch with a 50th Anniversary Celebration of SUNY's Educational Opportunity Program in the iconic Rainbow Room of New York City. Over 240 attendees joined event host, Al Roker, in honoring the evening's award recipients: Carl E. Heastie, Speaker of the New York State Assembly, Sunny Hostin, Cohost of ABC's The View and Senior Legal Correspondent for ABC News, and Stanley S. Litow, Vice President, Corporate Citizenship and Corporate Affairs for IBM. With strong corporate and philanthropic support, the event raised over half a million dollars to benefit the 47 EOPs across the SUNY system.
The State University of New York (SUNY) Impact Foundation is pleased to announce the receipt of a Communities Against Hate grant from the Open Society Foundations. The grant enabled the SUNY Impact Foundation to fund diversity, equity and inclusion system-wide trainings in 2017 and 2018. In addition, the grant has enabled the creation of an emergency fund, named a Communities Against Hate fund, that can be used to compensate SUNY students in the wake of hate crimes and/or acts of discrimination, including sexual and interpersonal violence.
You can read a copy of the Criteria and Process Outline for campuses to request Communities Against Hate funding. While it is our hope that SUNY students never become the victims of hate crimes, discrimination, or any acts of aggression, the SUNY Impact Foundation is thankful to be in a position to provide financial assistance when and if such instances arise. Funding for Communities Against Hate will be available until December 31, 2018.

Thanks to support from the Gerstner Family Foundation and the Heckscher Foundation for Children, the SUNY Impact Foundation is working with these granting foundations on the administration and data collection of a SUNY Student Emergency Fund pilot program. Emergency funds have been established at seven SUNY campuses: University at Albany, University at Buffalo, SUNY Buffalo State, Cayuga Community College, Dutchess Community College, SUNY Oneonta, and SUNY Orange. The funds will enable these campuses to rapidly respond to students experiencing unforeseen financial hardships due to situations such as homelessness or threat of eviction, medical emergency, natural disaster, domestic violence, theft, and loss of employment. Examples of eligible expenses include rent, utilities, clothing, furniture, medical expenses, back-up child care, back-up transportation, and replacement of stolen items needed for school. Pilot programs began in the Spring 2018 semester.
The Foundation collaborates with SUNY System Administration, all 64 SUNY schools, and private donors to design and administer a variety of scholarships and fellowships that help determined students earn a college degree at SUNY.
Chancellor Johnson's inauguration and celebratory dinner on September 13th brought together leaders from higher education, government and the private sector, to celebrate this milestone in SUNY's history and to raise support for the SUNY Impact Foundation. The net proceeds from the event will create two unique opportunities that will enable deserving students to pursue and complete their education within the SUNY system: the establishment of a Chancellor's Fellowship Fund, and the seeding of a Near Degree Completion Grant Fund.
An example of one of our latest scholarship opportunities is the Stanley S. Litow P-TECH Scholarship Fund described below.
In honor of SUNY Trustee and IBM International Foundation president emeritus, Stanley S. Litow, with thanks to the generosity of the IBM Corporation, the SUNY Impact Foundation has established the Stanley S. Litow P-TECH Scholarship Fund. P-TECH schools are innovative, public, grade 9-14 schools that bring together high school, college, and career. Within six-years, students graduate with a no-cost Associates degree in applied science, engineering, computers, and related disciplines, along with the skills and knowledge they need to continue their studies or step easily into information technology jobs.
The Stanley S. Litow P-TECH Scholarship Fund provides annual scholarships to New York State P-TECH graduates who meet eligibility requirements. To be eligible to apply for a scholarship award, applicants must be on track to graduate from their P-TECH school with an Associate in Applied Science or Associate in Science degree; and plan to continue their education at a four-year SUNY institution in the same degree field as their Associate degree.
Applications for 2019 are now open and due by March 1, 2019. You can find materials linked below:
Following the destruction caused by hurricanes Irma and Maria, New York State and SUNY remain committed to providing assistance and support to our fellow Americans. In partnership with organizations across Puerto Rico, the SUNY Impact Foundation is raising funds to support SUNY student engagement for hands-on service learning experiences in Puerto Rico. With philanthropic support from the SUNY Impact Foundation, SUNY faculty and various non-profit organizations are providing SUNY students with opportunities to expand their education beyond the classroom through volunteering, teamwork, and becoming a global citizen.
SUNY's Got Your Back provides the opportunity for students, faculty, staff, and community members from across the state to create comfort kits for victims and survivors of violence, and to learn methods of better preventing and responding to violence, as together we work to build a New York where these bags are no longer needed.
Thanks to the generosity of The Heckscher Foundation for Children, the SUNY Impact Foundation is coordinating the implementation of Learning-U, a 2019 summer residential program for rising NYC high school juniors and seniors from NYC at SUNY Potsdam.

On Saturday morning I posted my CJ, the start of another adventure! This time I have chosen "My Favourite Ancestor" as my theme. I did mean to photograph the pages before I posted it but as usual I was in a ruddy blush to get it packed so I could go to the post office before going out for the day with Mr M (more of that on the other blog).
I chose my great grandmother, the actress, for my pages simply because she fascinates me. I have written at boring length about her in my blog here so I won't do it again here.
I just love doing Circle Journals (CJs) so far all the people who have taken part have been so talented and the pages they have given me are all so beautiful, and different. I realise that if I am not careful my pages would take on a "sameness" but the CJs have eight to ten different contributors so there are that same number of styles in my book. I like to leave them in the guest room as something for our guests to browse through before going to sleep. I leave books and short stories too but sometimes if you are staying somewhere and have forgotten your book it is good to have something you can pick up and read completely before you depart. Otherwise you always wish you could take the book with you and then you have to scour the internets to find a copy for yourself.
Several people have said how much they enjoy the little albums and they wish they had some for their own guest room. I give them a quick infomercial about UKscrappers and scrapbooking in general.
Anyhooo, I am in just one CJ at the moment. My plan is to get to about half way and then join another so that I can try to be always in one somewhere. I love the anticipation.

Yesterday, I had the deep pleasure of adding two babies to my brood of "nieces and nephews," the children of my dearest friends. I don't have kids of my own, but I do have a brood of children who I love deeply, pray for daily, and try to be a role model for, even if it's the wild and crazy model that gives them a place to act out while still having parents that define good boundaries. It's a great role for me.
Yesterday afternoon, I met Jack; he was born 10 weeks early and has already had more of a struggle for survival than I have known in my time here, but he is strong and gorgeous and tough and perfect. I love him already.
Last night, a dear friend of over 16 years called to tell me her daughter Marin had joined us out here in the air. Mom and daughter are well, and Dad was apparently quite amazing during delivery. Brother Symeon will be introduced to his sister today, and his good nature will guarantee that he dotes on her, as every big brother should.
I am so blessed to have these children – and the 20 or so more – in my life. So to Mathis, Ilya, Jonas, Ben, Ella, Molly, Katie, Ethan, Zoe, Ian, Jamie, Henry, Vivian, Anthony, Maria, Ella, Quinn, Chloe, Regan, Jack, Marin, Symeon, and the four new ones on the way, I remind you that I love you, that I'm here, forever your Auntie Andi.
May you all be so blessed to have friends that let you love their children as mine do.

Simplicity is top of the agenda when you first digest the music of Tiffany Williams. Yet peel away from the minimalist nature of a single voice, and the assortment of stringed acoustic instrumentation flickering in and out, reveals a deep thinking singer-songwriter pondering some primal feelings. In the case of this East Kentuckian now residing in Nashville, it is the complexities of movement and the endearing lure of your roots. If twenty minutes and five songs act as the audition, WHEN YOU GO is a wonderful introduction to an artist well-equipped to make serious moves in the world of country-folk.
The shortened EP format can be a double edged sword when it comes to assessing the impact of music. The length enables conclusions drawn quickly, but with the nagging doubt, whether the sample is representative. In the case of Tiffany Williams, there was an instant attraction that wavelengths are aligned, further compounded when adding the accompaniment of finding the lyrics on her website. The marriage of music and words is utterly compatible, in a way to light the fire of inspiring some kind thoughtful words.
Smitten by the sound is given an extra dimension when digging further into the background of Tiffany Williams. Being a coal miner's daughter does not do any harm in traditional country circles and doubling up as a fiction writer alongside a self-assessed 'lexophile' puts you in a good place when it comes to penning thoughts. Of course, the path from writer to songwriter is not always clearly accessible, but in this case: melody, voice, feeling and inviting instrumentation suggests the transition has successfully navigated.
The record's title also acts as the name of the first song where 'When You Go' tracks our writer's Appalachian family home in Letcher Country, complete with warts and all recollections. The opening line of the chorus: 'I worry that my best isn't any good anywhere but here' calls all self-doubters and compulsive in its frank honesty undertones. 'Big Enough to Be a Mountain' comes across as a love-homage to whoever/whatever amidst stretching the listener's imagination. The writer gets deeper, perhaps pit shaft proportions, as we amble into the confessional tones of 'You Were Mine'.
This is followed by further musings in 'The Waiting' as once again location and relationships entwine. In contrast to the EP title and opening track, the final song spins the tenses around with every possibility that 'When I'm Gone' will induce a touch of emotion as some final poignant reflections immaculately present in a similar vein to the whole body of this short record.
In releasing WHEN YOU GO, Tiffany Williams has succeeded by matching the ideals of what certain ears are listening out for when exploring the subtle, meaningful and literate world of country folk. Whether paths cross again is immaterial in the here and now, but more importantly, twenty minutes of captivating music hit the right spot.

With a plethora of sunscreen lotions available on the market, it can be difficult to choose which one is right for you. Each sunscreen makes claims that are purely for marketing purposes, so by knowing the basics below, you'll be able to decipher the facts from the fluff.
What is Sunscreen?
Sunscreen helps prevent the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation rays, particularly UVA and UVB, from reaching and damaging the skin. UVB rays are the chief cause of redness and sunburns and damage the top layers of the skin.
UVA rays penetrate deeply into the skin and are responsible for prematurely aging skin by causing it to wrinkle and to become leather-like. UVA is the dominant tanning ray and accelerates the development of skin cancer, especially by intensifying the carcinogen effects of UVB rays. UVA rays account for 95% of the UV radiation that reaches the earth's surface and is the type of ray tanning booths emit, but with a dose 12 times more powerful than the sun.
What is SPF?
SPF, or Sun Protection Factor, is a measure of a sunscreen's ability to prevent UVB rays, not UVA rays, from damaging the skin. In simple terms, SPF prevents you from getting 'burned.' However, reddening" is caused to UVB rays alone, so plenty of UVA damage can be done even if you do not get a sunburn. A number denotes SPF, and the most common ones are 15, 30, and 50.
The higher the SPF, the more UVB rays are blocked.
Notice that no sunscreen can block 100% of UVB rays. Although SPF 15 provides excellent protection, it may be best to use 30 or 50 if you have sensitive skin or for good measure. The extra couple of percentages may not seem significant, but do make a difference if your skin is exposed to the sun for hours and hours.
The SPF number is also a theoretical factor of how long the sunscreen can prevent reddening. For example, if it takes 10 minutes for your unprotected skin to start turning red, then using a SPF 15 sunscreen prevents reddening 15 times longer, or about 2.5 hours.
Regardless of the SPF used, sunscreen should be thoroughly reapplied to your skin every two hours and more frequently if you swim or excessively sweat.
What is Multi-Spectrum or Broad Spectrum Protection?
These labels indicated that some UVA protection is provided, but there is no consensus on how much protection is provided. Although it is best to use a broad spectrum sunscreen that offers both UVA and UVB protection, keep in mind that these labels are purely for marketing effect.

New York City–based watercolor artist Carol Gillott travels to Paris three or four times a year to soak up inspiration and shoot thousands of photos to paint from.
Her Alliance Française exhibit, Paris Façades, features her charming paintings of Parisien boulangeries and patisseries.
For the artist, the heart and soul of Paris is revealed at street level by its shop façades where "There's just as much glamour and mystery in the quotidien boulangerie or fruitier as the grand Michelin restaurant"
It is this bright contrast that makes Paris the perfect subject for Carol Gillot and her delightful watercolors of everyday Parisian scenes, from les boulangeries to les lèche-vitrines.
Visit carolgillott.com & www.parisbreakfast.com
Opening reception is free, but reservations are required. Call 202-234-7911 x31 for reservations.

Nation Media Group (NMG) on Thursday donated textbooks to pupils at Ndimu Primary School in Elburgon, Nakuru County, as part of its corporate social responsibility activities.
Staff from the company's various departments in Nakuru and Nairobi, led by Regional Editor Caroline Wafula, took part in giving out books and planting trees.
The visit was also meant to motivate the 414 pupils at the school.
Ms Wafula, who represented Head of Corporate and Regulatory Affairs Clifford Machoka, said the company seeks to positively influence the society through its various platforms and to impact communities by giving back through its corporate social responsibility initiatives.
"We understand that we have a responsibility to our society and hence we have made it deliberate to give back to the community," she said.
Ndimu Primary School is one of the oldest schools in the area and was built in the 1980s.
The administration, led by deputy headteacher Sammy Mbugua Njoroge, said the school, which supports more than 100 integrated pupils with special needs, faces various challenges, including poor learning facilities.
The initiative is built around the areas of health, environment, community sponsorship and education.
The focus this year is on improving improvement.
Also present was NMG Events Coordinator Naomy Ikenye, who led the Nairobi team.
The event was held ahead of the Nation Media Group Golf Challenge, to be played at the Nakuru Golf Club on October 8.

One missed credit-card payment never used to be reason enough to refuse a mortgage application. But in these times of financial crisis, the few lenders left in the market are pickier than ever. According to Ray Boulger, senior technical manager at broker John Charcol, it is evident that while the government may have rescued the banks, their customers have been left out in the cold.
The credit card slip-up meant one client was forced to accept a smaller mortgage. Boulger says: "There is a lack of competition in the market. There are only six mortgage groups who are active in the market and that is having an impact on [profit] margins."
There is growing public discontent with banks, and the issue is spanning traditional religious divisions, as RBS chairman Sir Philip Hampton discovered last week. He was handed copies of the Torah, the Qur'an and the New Testament by religious leaders protesting about exorbitant rates of interest. As well as cracking down on City traders' bonuses, they would like to see the government bringing back the ancient laws of usury, limiting how much banks can charge for loans.
Boulger says the impact of a lack of competition has already become increasingly apparent. Before the meltdown, there were up to 100 brands fighting for business in the mortgage market. Now, by his reckoning, the only serious players left are the part-nationalised Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Banking Group, HSBC, Barclays, Santander (Abbey and Alliance & Leicester) and Nationwide Building Society.
The mortgage market is the clearest illustration of the reduction of competition. But in the savings industry, too, the plethora of institutions offering headline-grabbing rates has also shrunk. The collapse of the Icelandic banks, the rescue of the Irish financial industry and the flight of savers to safe institutions has cut the number of savings products on offer.
The withdrawal of some very active competitors has alleviated the pressure on those that remain to fight for customers. In the savings market, brand is now what matters. "We've gone back to a premium on the name," says one banker.
Competition, or the lack of it, in the banking industry was highlighted last week by shadow chancellor George Osborne, who pledged that a Conservative government would hold an investigation before the taxpayer's stakes in RBS and Lloyds were put on the market.
"We need to have a strategic view of the kind of banking system we want at the end of that process," he said. "We shouldn't just go into it blind."
While Labour accused Osborne of hiding behind a competition review in order to avoid having to devise his own policy on the disposal of bank shares, the government itself has acknowledged that there is a problem to be tackled. In allowing Lloyds TSB to rescue HBOS last September, competition rules were deliberately overlooked on the grounds of financial stability.
The Office of Fair Trading warned the business secretary, Lord Mandelson, that the tie-up would cause "substantial lessening of competition". The combined bank controls about 25% of personal bank accounts and about 28% of the mortgage market, which would normally have raised concerns.
The reduction in competition appears to be allowing those financial firms left standing to do business more profitably. Sandy Chen, banks analyst at Panmure Gordon, says: "The margins on new business are wider. They are charging a lot more." However, Boulger points out that, in the mortgage market at least, lenders' existing loans - known as the "back book" - are likely to be loss-making, given the dramatic cuts to interest rates that have left some tracker products offering very cheap deals for their customers.
Chen's gloomy analysis of the banking sector suggests that the poorer sections of society are being hit hardest.
The top earners, he argues, "are enjoying falling mortgage payments (if they have a mortgage at all), a generally deflationary environment and excess household cash flows". However, "at the other end, roughly half of UK households are facing negative cash flows, an inflationary environment and the combined threats of negative equity, difficulties in refinancing or remortgaging, and unemployment."
As long ago as March 2000, an influential report by Don Cruickshank into the banking industry was already raising concerns about competition, noting that the barriers to new entrants were high. One new lender - Bank of China - has jumped those barriers in recent weeks by piloting a range of mortgage products. But many more will need to follow to get the competition flowing again.

The palace was built around the 14th Century and was home to a very important institutional figure of the city during the Middle Ages: The Capitano del Popolo (Captain of the People). He was a very popular figure in Italy and in other towns and played an important role in representing the people. Later the building was home to another important figure in the history of Orvieto: the Mayor.
The palace today is a beautiful building which has undergone changes and upgrades in recent years. Today the building houses a fully equipped conference center and it is not open for tourist visits.

To my dad on his 50th birthday
When I was young you were always there.
To hold my hand and say I care.
Encourage me along the way
along each step a different day.
Laugh a hell of a lot and
say don't ever smoke pot.
You teach me how to do only
good things in life
And to never judge and
only do what is right.
My dad's hands were never clean
Although he was a working man he was never that mean.
He cracks half a smile only once in a while
doesn't like to show his teeth unless they are shiny, polished, and in style.
My dad is the kind of man that performs the unexplainable
People usually stare but my dad says that doesn't bother me because I don't care.
There are characteristics in every person that brings out your smile
Therefore my dad has too many and I will love him a lot for a while.
Happy 50th birthday dad
I love you.
Happy 50th Birthday For Father
No Stories yet, You can be the first!
My Dad

Most refrigerators feature one or two interior drawers called crisper drawers. The purpose of these drawers is to have a place inside the fridge that regulates humidity in addition to temperature. Store fruits, vegetables and meats in the drawers, and set the crisper setting -- ranging from high to low -- based on the contents of the drawer to maintain the freshness of the food items.
Adjusting Crisper Settings
Crispers have a humidity control setting on the upper portion of the drawer. Move the small knob from to adjust the drawer's humidity to any setting between high to low. The humidity control basically opens or closes a small window on the drawer with the lever at "High" being completely closed and at "Low" being completely open. Adjust the crisper setting as needed based on the contents of the drawer. Fruits and vegetables that will rot quickly, such as avocados or grapes, require a low humidity setting, while items that tend to wilt, such as leafy greens, need higher humidity levels.

The name of Cheteshwar Pujara is starting to trip off the tongue, often in the same sentence as the words "the new Rahul Dravid". Pujara bats methodically and relentlessly. He has strokes – the caressed cover drive, the flick off the toes, the no-nonsense cut – but he uses them discreetly.
Pujara posted his double century with the inevitability of another fine, dry day in Ahmedabad. Yet it was not a dour innings. From the start he was positive whether in defence or attack in a manner beyond England's harassed upper order – and misplaced nightwatchman – in the last half-hour of Friday's play.
There were wristy flourishes but no extravagances for Pujara is a meritocrat. Good balls are defended, bad ones hit for four. For coaches and fast bowlers, who like to put their feet up, he is wonderfully reassuring, wonderfully predictable.
Clearly he has that knack of being able to concentrate for hours on end. In this innings it was eight hours with barely a blemish. Just 24 years old, he has already hit three triple centuries in his career, a couple for Saurashtra Under-22s (not first-class) and another one for the senior side in 2008. There was not time for a triple on Friday.
So far there are not so many parallels with his partner for much of the day, the charismatic Yuvraj Singh, with whom he added 130. Yet in a way this Test match represented a critical comeback for Pujara as well as Yuvraj.
Yuvraj, driven by a demanding father, who also played first-class cricket, was returning to Test cricket in the most arresting manner. This was his first time back in whites since a successful struggle with lung cancer in a clinic in Boston. Yuvraj can be a provocative figure but his return to the fray has been a source of delight to the entire cricketing community. On Friday he looked every inch a Test player until he was duped by one of Samit Patel's full tosses.
Pujara is a more self-effacing character, which may not be difficult. Recently he has endured surgery on both of his knees. So in a sense he was coming back too, eager to re-establish himself; it was a goal he seemed to achieve effortlessly.
He was all composure throughout his innings: at the start he was nerveless, on 99 on Friday morning he tucked the ball down to long-leg for his single and on 199 in the afternoon he glided it down to third man as if this was all part of the old routine.
By modern standards his celebrations were muted when he passed these landmarks: a little jig and a smile, then back to business. If there had been more time and more batsmen at the other end he was on course to play India's highest ever innings against England (Vinod Kambli's 224 on Graham Gooch's ill-fated 1992-3 tour was well within his sights).
Like Yuvraj he is a second generation first-class cricketer. The young Cheteshwar has remained much closer to Arvind, who played six times for Saurashtra, his father and his coach. Pujara Sr has clearly done a very fine job, though it is always debatable whether you can coach composure.
His calmness was evident in Pujara's first Test in Bengalaru in 2010 against Australia when he produced a polished 72 in the second innings of a match India won by seven wickets. There followed a knock of 159 against New Zealand (he does not seem to deal in small hundreds) and now this in his sixth Test, an innings that confirms his capacity to bat at the highest level on his native turf.
The wiseacres query how he will fare outside India. It is a fair question since cricket is a completely different game when it is played at the Waca in Perth rather than Ahmedabad. There a whole new set of skills is needed.
Yet on this evidence Pujara's technique is as sound as his temperament and he will learn quickly.
In some ways he is the antithesis of the modern batsman. It seems that his ambitions lie with the red ball. He plays in the Indian Premier League for Kolkota Knight Riders but with no great success so far. He has yet to register a T20 fifty and his strike rate is a paltry 108 in this form of the game – figures which may be manna from heaven for Sandip Patel, India's chairman of selectors, when he is considering his Test side.
Pujara has the makings of a Test match specialist. On Friday night that was enough for him. He had an unbeaten double century to his name as well as a cherished text of congratulation from his predecessor, Rahul Dravid.

BEDFORD HILLS, N.Y. – Students and staff at West Patent Elementary School brought a bit of holiday comfort to the families of ill children recently by providing them with Kids in it Together (Kiit) Care Packages and "Best Wishes" greeting cards.
According to a statement from the school, the students collected toiletries, winter socks and snacks for the packages and readied them for delivery to families staying at the Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley, a facility that houses many families of children who receive long-term treatment at Maria Fareri Children's Hospital in Valhalla.
While most of the materials were delivered to the Ronald McDonald House, others were packaged for a Breakfast Run to New York City, organizers said, adding that the success of the Dec. 23 charity effort was "the result of tremendous teamwork."
The donated items came from the students and their families, West Patent school staff and local businesses, organizers said, adding that the Kiit Committee also planned and participated in a school-wide holiday assembly that reinforced the importance of kindness and working to help others.

Arsenal are reportedly confident of Bacary Sagna extending his stay at the club beyond this season, but there remains a stumbling block with the player wanting three years and the club insisting on two.
It's understandable from Arsene Wenger's point of view, while Sagna himself has not ruled out a move away at the end of the season. Should Arsenal lose a key and experienced figure in the defence, a player who is a step up from Carl Jenkinson needs to be brought in. As of now, the youngster isn't good enough to play every week for the club.
Arsenal have the funds to properly strengthen, and if they're in that position, these are six names they should target in the summer.

This is a small card, just 10cm x10cm. I've made a few of them before (these, these and these) and really enjoy the format! They're like tiny little pieces of art, that usually come together quickly and fit almost anyone. They're very handy to have lying around for times where a hand-made card is a nice touch, but you want to save the bigger projects for a more significant occation. I made this one to send along with two cards commissioned by a friend of mine.
