Amal Umer lost her life after she was hit by a stray bullet during a police encounter in Karachi's Akhtar Colony area.
As per the apex court's orders, the committee will also determine the persons responsible in Amal's case. The committee will include Advocate General Sindh, Barrister Aitzaz Ahsan, Lateef Khosa and Advocate Umaima.
During the hearing, Amal's tearful mother Beenish recalled the incidents of the day when her child died. "We were traveling from Korangi Road towards FTC when a man approached us at the signal and asked us to hand over everything," she told the court.
"There was a lot of traffic at the signal at the time. The man took my phone and bag and then told us to roll up the windows and left," she continued. "As soon as my husband started the car, we heard a gunshot and a bullet suddenly hit our windshield."
"When I turned, I saw Amal lying in a pool of blood and my other daughter clutching my seat," Beenish recalled.
The mother further said that after she and her husband rushed Amal to the National Medical Centre (NMC), the hospital staff did not provide immediate treatment and instead intubated the injured child and attached an ambu bag.
"The hospital staff told us that she [Amal] did not have much time and it was a medico-legal case so we should take her to Jinnah hospital," Beenish told the court.
"The hospital initially did not even help them arrange an ambulance," Amal's mother said. After much insistence, someone from the hospital called the Aman Foundation, who refused to send an ambulance till "arrangements were made" at Jinnah Hospital, she further apprised the court. "When we asked if we could take the ambu bag along, the NMC staff refused."
By the time an ambulance reached them and they took their daughter to Jinnah Hospital it was too late. Amal had lost the battle for her life by then.
"We don't want any compensation for our daughter's death. We just want to make sure that what we faced does not happen with anyone else," Amal's mother said.
Furthermore, she raised a question regarding the use of a Kalashnikov to counter street crime. "Who has permitted the police to use the AK-47 to counter street crime?" she said, adding that the law enforcement agency was earlier unwilling to admit whose bullet had hit the girl.
Court adviser Latif Khosa remarked that the use of firearms by police should be reviewed immediately.
"We are not living in Kabul, Syria, Kashmir, Lebanon or Palestine…we live in Karachi," Beenish said.
The chief justice remarked that no amount of sympathy could help the grieving parents.
Speaking to the media after the court ordered to constitute a committee in the case, Amal's father thanked the Supreme Court and Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Mian Saqib Nisar for taking notice of the case.
"We want to thank the Supreme Court and CJP Nisar for taking notice of the incident and ordering an inquiry into the matter.
"Our daughter will not come back to life but we want the problems [that led to her death] to be eradicated.
"We want laws to be passed to solve the issues, be them at the police's end or the hospitals.
"We shouldn't address things when a tragedy occurs, even though we have already faced this tragedy," Amal's father said.
The deceased child's mother, Beenish, said we are raising the question that there should be police training and assessment.
The bullet that hit Amal was from an AK-47 and was fired by a policeman attempting to kill a bandit, who had robbed the 10-year-old's family a few minutes earlier as they waited at a traffic light to attend a concert on the eve of Independence Day.
After Amal's parents raised the issue and it was highlighted by the media, Chief Justice Nisar took suo moto notice of the incident and fixed the matter for hearing on September 25.

Arctic Technology
Arctic Technology
Norut develops technologies adapted to meet challenges in the Arctic climate. Drift ice, icing, pressure ridges and winter storms make strict demands on off-shore constructions. Several industrial operations in northern and Arctic areas demand new thinking on the use of materials, surveillance, emergency response and security. Norut's unmanned aircraft systems are utilized in an increasing number of areas. The combination of extreme track force in a steep landscape with high precipitation is being tested by the Ofoten Line. We engage in research on Arctic technology because the action is occurring in the north.
The upcoming conference Arctic Frontiers 2019 in Tromsø - Smart Arctic - gives several opportunities to get a taste of the ongoing research taking place at NORCE. Get the overview here.
NORCE is becoming even stronger as Norut merges with the new research institute.
The acceleration of rock glaciers in Scandinavia has been documented for the first time. It can be linked to the thawing of the permafrost in the north.
A regular scheduled passenger aircraft will for the first time fly with equipment and high-resolution imaging systems normally used on satellites. Scientists believe this is the start of a new era for collecting environmental data and that the aircraft will also increase safety and emergency response in the Arctic.
The radar onboard the drone Kraken can measure snow depth, image snow layers and see objects under the snow. Earlier in the spring, Norut demonstrated how drones can contribute to emergency preparedness involving avalanches.
Many people have wondered who they are and what they are up to, these people who regularly wander across the ice wearing a wetsuit and pulling a small rubber boat.
The upcoming conference Arctic Frontiers 2018 in Tromsø - Connecting the Arctic - gives several opportunities to get a taste of the ongoing research taking place at Norut. Get the overview here.

Fall is a busy season. Canadian Autumn Vignette 1 – Pumpkins have arrived from the farmer's fields and they are ready to be picked up by eager families.
For today's Throwback Thursday, I am remembering when I painted this little vignette. We were getting ready for our Rhine-Danube River Cruise in 2016, and I had painted several little scenes like this one before leaving for Europe.
Fall is a busy season for everyone but especially so in countries where the seasons change to drastically. If you live in a country that is always temperate, you will not have to change your summer tires to winter tires, find your winter boots, mittens, hats and coats, and clean and store your summer clothes. Chances are you will not change your daily routine very much from one season to the next.
For those of us who live in colder climes, there is plenty of work to get finished but it isn't all drudgery and boredom. Here are some of my activities this year.
To do before the snow flies:
– try Mom's recipe of tomato and apple pie (done)
– collect fallen leaves to paint (done)
– press colourful leaves for next year (to do)
– invite family and friends for a dinner party (done)
– begin a knitting project (done)
– empty garden: freeze kale (almost done), boil beets (half done), pick sage and rosemary and make a rub (to do)
– buy sugar pumpkins, cook, freeze pumpkin flesh for muffins for Zack (not done)
The early days of fall are days filled with activities that signal the end of one season and the beginning of shorter days leading towards winter.
It feels a bit like a race against Mother Nature: will everything get done in time?
We can be lulled by the warmth of the sun into believing that summer will last a little longer, but then we would be deceived.
Once all chores have been done, then it is time to get ready for Christmas. Yes, Canadians do think of Christmas in October. It is the best weather (not cold enough to freeze hands yet) to string all those outdoor lights along the roof.
Fall is definitely a busy season, but I love the changing seasons and I wouldn't have it any other way.

MAKHACHKALA, Russia (Reuters) - One policeman and seven civilians were killed when a car bomb exploded in Russia's Muslim North Caucasus province of Dagestan on Wednesday, authorities and local media said.
Three car bombs killed six people and gunmen killed four more, including a high-level law enforcement official, last week in the region wedged between Chechnya and the Caspian Sea.
Dagestan is beset by near-daily shootings and bomb attacks, blamed on an Islamist insurgency across the North Caucasus stemming from two separatist wars in Chechnya, poverty and an increase in radical Islam.
"As a result of the car bomb one policeman was killed, along with five civilians who were traveling past in another vehicle," a source in the regional Investigative Committee told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Radio station Ekho Moskvy said two more civilians were killed, including an 11-year-old girl.
The committee source said the attack took place in the village of Hajjalmakhi, about 60 km (40 miles) southwest of the provincial capital Makhachkala.
Upon discovering an empty "suspicious-looking vehicle" parked on the village outskirts, police started to conduct a search when it burst into flames, a law enforcement source told Interfax news agency.
Rebels are fighting for a separate Islamic state ruled by sharia law in the mainly Muslim North Caucasus on Russia's southern frontier.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has called the insurgency the country's main security threat in the year before the March 2012 presidential election, which will see Prime Minister Vladimir Putin seek a return to the Kremlin.
The insurgents claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing at Moscow's Domodedovo airport that killed 37 people in January and twin bombings that killed 40 in Moscow's metro last year.

Fact Finding Tour Cleantech and Green Mobility
Participants from Tyrol's Economic Chamber, the Tyrolian Renewable Energy Cluster and companies of the region visited Danish organizations and companies to get a deeper insight into Danish solutions aimed at becoming carbon neutral. Though the geographic structure of Tyrol couldn't be more different from Zealand - Tyrol is well known as one of the best skiing regions in the Alps - similar challenges exist. How can we provide an infrastructure that supports both companies and citizens in becoming more sustainable? Intensive discussions about cycle super highways with Region H , waste water solutions with Biofos , and future urban city planning with Rambøll provided new inspiration and food for thought and action.

I have been working on a publication for several years about quick-fix snacks that are never found in cookbooks. It concerns the Western Kentucky homemade concoctions that have no recipe, in no cookbook, and were passed down from families. I believe that they are an important part of our history that should be preserved. The simple snacks are comfort foods usually made just to tide us over.
This is a draft of a brochure I created inviting participants to send in their homemade snacks for the project.

You don't want to just go with the flow when it comes to car repairs. A car is an investment, and you need to maintain its value by inspecting it regularly and paying for repairs as needed. Use these tips to help you deal with future car repairs, whether you tackle the problem on your own or hire a professional.
Know what your costs will be before handing your keys over to the mechanic. Should you need clarification about the repairs, speak with the service manager or your mechanic before work begins. You want to avoid being surprised with additional charges once the car is fixed.
Every time your car is repaired, regardless of how minor the problem was, make sure you keep a record. If you have problems later, these records can come in handy. Without records, you might have to pay higher costs due to taking longer to find the problem.
Look out for signs that your mechanic isn't very good. If they beat around the bush and act shifty, they may not be the one you want to work with. You want to be able to trust the person doing your repairs, so go elsewhere.
Check and make sure that your mechanic is familiar with working on your type of car. Basic components are usually the same, but there are big differences in different types of cars. If you cannot be sure, just take the car to a dealership.
If you have something major that needs to be done by someone at a shop, you have to be sure you get more than just a single price. If you don't, you might be paying for more work than you actually need. If possible, find a mechanic who is specialized in the make and model you have or in the kind of problems you are encountering. These shops can better understand the needed repairs for your vehicle.
Now you know how to care for your car. You will feel more in control when having repairs made to your car when you follow the advice discussed above. When scheduling your car for its next service, keep this shared advice in mind.

Excess weight is a complex health problem that is very difficult to resolve. There are multiple factors that explain why it is now occurring in so many countries.
Obviously, our sedentary lifestyle doesn't help. Due to the advances in technology, most occupations are now far less physical than they used to be. So the daily calorie requirements for most people are a lot less than they were a few decades ago.
It pays to remember that for most of human history, life was a constant battle against starvation. In order to survive, our body developed at an early stage physiological mechanisms that were extremely efficient and frugal with the meagre sources of energy that we were able to find. Fat cells would store glucose in the form of glycogen so that it would be released more conservatively. Thus, diverting energy into fat storage was an evolutionary advantage.
Today, with the constant availability of cheap calorie-loaded processed foods, these ancient metabolic strategies are a major disadvantage. In fact, the massive increase in metabolic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and hypertension parallels the rise in sugar availability over the past century.
In the United States, it is today often cheaper to buy junk food than fruit or vegetables. So, we have now reached a stage where, for the first time in history, the most overweight section of the local population is also the poorest.
Weight loss has now become now a multi billion dollar industry worldwide, but going on miracle diets is seldom a long term solution. Beyond the simple fact that weight gain is the result of more calories absorbed than is required, there lie more complex emotional issues that have to be addressed to achieve lasting changes.
In the case of women with obesity, many other health problems have to be taken into consideration. These include constipation, irregular periods, depression, anxiety, PMS and skin problems.
Chinese medicine addresses the physiological and emotional imbalances in the body at the same time. As practitioners, we can strengthen the digestive and hormonal systems with body acupuncture and Chinese herbalism. Once the digestive system is stronger, it becomes more efficient at transforming, and transporting the food (Qi) energy, which, in turn, decreases the appetite.
Other contemporary techniques like ear acupuncture, where tiny gold or silver pellets are applied to target specific areas of the nervous system, can be included to increase willpower, reduce the cravings and help with depression and anxiety. The kidneys are also strengthened to support the endocrine system of the patients. Often these points are used alternatively, or in combination, with the spleen and stomach points to improve the metabolism.
In China, Oriental medicine has been used for many years to treat this complex disorder. To maintain weight loss, acupuncture is practised as a gradual reduction method which can take up to one year in some cases. In that country, the local patients are treated three times a week for a total of 10 weeks. After a resting period of one to two weeks, a new course of treatment is given until the desired weight has been achieved.
Mary Christian is an American acupuncturist who went to China to study these techniques before establishing her own practice in the state of Colorado a few decades ago. She is now specialising in weight problems.
She treats her clients once or twice weekly, with a break lasting two weeks to a month after 10 acupuncture treatments. This gives them a chance to have more time to exercise and to establish healthier eating patterns by themselves. As she explains, after the fourth treatment, her clients experience a small but significant decrease in overall appetite, a decrease in sugar cravings, or a shift to adequate protein intake. Soon, they find it impossible to eat as much as they once did. Being in control of their body once again is a major turning point. They become less attached to food and they spend less thinking about it.
Of course, what works with one person doesn't automatically work with another and individual adjustments often have to be made accordingly. Sometimes her clients begin to lose weight after the first week, while others don't see a change until after the eight treatments, but she has demonstrated that these methods can work outside China.
Overall, four out of five people undertaking the acupuncture program had still maintained their weight loss after a year, which is quite an achievement.

Loudon Exotic Botanicals Prints 1841

prints themselves are not.
Lilium Japonicum, Lilium luncifolium roseum LDE55 $345
Each print measures approximately 9 inches by 11 1/4 inches.Note: Full margins not shown
Jane Webb Loudon (1807-1858) struggled with financial difficulties all her life. Left impoverished by
her father, she wrote a novel, The Mummy, Tales for the Twenty Second Century, which became a bestseller. Through it, she met her husband, a botanical illustrator. She decided to write botanical books the ordinary person could understand. Her first,
Instructions in Gardening for Ladies, was a great success. She is
renowned for her monumental works with lavish plates, including The Ladies
Flower Garden of Ornamental Annuals, The Ladies Flower Garden of
Ornamental Perennials, and British Wild Flowers. (References include
Nissen 1237; Great Flower Books, 1990, p.115).
We are pleased to offer selection of prints from the rare first edition of
all of the Loudon volumes except British Wild Flowers.
These beautifully hand coloured lithographed plates finished with gum arabic measure approximately 9 inches wide by 11 1/4 inches long. The condition of the plates is excellent. The paper is strong and not brittle and
a light creamy color. The plates are bright and clean with the exceptional, vibrant
original hand colouring so characteristic of the first edition. Please review the photos carefully as they are very accurate. These plates were highly prized by previous generations, and many were cut up for decorative purposes, so they have become quite a rarity.
We have priced them very reasonably and they are a great bargain, as they can be
found elsewhere on the web for as much as $800, and even more for the top prints.

Vetiver Khus
The name Vetiver is derived from Tamil வெட்டிவேர். The plant is popular all over the Indian Subcontinent. It is used in agriculture, food, medicine, and perfumery. It is also known as Khus. The botanical name of Vetiver is Vetiveria Zizanoides or Andropogon Muricatus. This tropical grass has a very pleasant, mild, earthy, and musky smell which has a cooling effect on the body and the mind.
Odore Mio Fragrances containing Vetiver Oil
White Knight; Natural Vetiver; Wild Vetiver; Cedar Cedrat; Vetiver Intense; Vanille Vetiver; Sandalwood Cologne
Holistic Benefits of Vetiver
The health benefits of vetiver essential oil can be attributed to its properties as an anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, aphrodisiac, cicatrizant, nervine, sedative, tonic, and vulnerary substance.
Acts as a Tonic
Vetiver tones up every system of the body, namely the digestive, respiratory, circulatory, excretory, immune, endocrine, and nervous systems.
Prevents Nervous Disorders
Vetiver takes care of the nerves and maintains their good health. It also heals the damage done to the nerves by shock, fear, and stress. Furthermore, it helps get rid of various nervous and neurotic disorders, and lack of control over limbs and spasms.
Relieves Insomnia
Vetiver is a well-known sedative. It sedates nervous irritations, afflictions, convulsions and emotional outbursts such as anger, anxiety, epileptic and hysteric attacks, restlessness, and nervousness. It even benefits patients that suffer from insomnia.
Improves Healing
This property of Vetiver oil helps heal wounds by promoting the growth of new tissues in wounded places and also by keeping it safe from infections by inhibiting the growth of microbes. It also promotes the accumulation of leucocytes and platelets at that location.
Reduces Inflammation
The soothing and cooling effects of Vetiver essential oil calm and pacify all sorts of inflammation. It is particularly good at providing relief from inflammation in both the circulatory and nervous system. It is also found to be an appropriate treatment for inflammation caused by sunstroke, dehydration, and loo, which is the name given to very hot and dry winds prevalent during summer in the dry South Asian regions.
Eliminates Scars
Cicatrizant agents are substances that speed up the eradication or disappearance of scars and other marks on the skin. It also promotes the growth of new tissues in the affected places which replace the dead and discoloured tissues and helps achieve a uniform look. This is also useful for post-delivery stretch marks for pregnant women, fat cracks, after spots left by pox, and burns.
Prevents Bacterial Infections
Vetiver is popular in tropical countries as antibacterial agent. This oil efficiently stops the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, the bacteria responsible for causing sepsis and eliminates them. It is totally safe for this oil to be applied externally on the wounds or taken orally in order to protect wounds as well as internal organs from sepsis.
Mixed in sorbets and beverages as a flavouring agent, Vetiver essential oil has an aphrodisiac effect. It also enhances the libido and arouses feelings of sexual desire.

Strategies to Choose Your Teeth Braces Color
Braces are metal chains that are used to control the growth and appearance of human teeth. Once a person wears braces, they become part of the life of an individual, and they also influence one's self-esteem. When purchasing braces, choosing an appropriate color may assist in enhancing your self-esteem. Keep reading here to learn more about selecting an appropriate color of braces.
Find out whether your orthodontist has a color wheel. A color wheel comprises colors of all possible braces that you can get. Ensure to select your favorite color of brace in advance so that you can have more time to reflect on the suitability of the color alternatives available. Should your dentist have no color wheel, consider looking for one online. Orthodontists have an extensive collection of colors so that they can satisfy the requirements of all their customers.However, make sure to confirm whether your orthodontists have all the colors you will find online.
Find out whether your orthodontists can offer braces with customized colors. For instance, you can request your orthodontist to prepare braces that match the color of your national flag. Consider also requesting braces that comprise your favorite colors. Select colors that will make you feel attractive. Choose colors that will match your hair and skin color. In case you are not a guru in matching colors, request the assistance of your orthodontist to identify colors that would complement either a dark or a light skin tone. You can also choose braces that will match the outfits you wear on many occasions. Pairing braces with outfits is especially convenient for people who wear uniform to work.
Choose only your favorite colors. Avoid strange colors that will make you look unattractive. Take white, for example, it seems an attractive choice, but you should avoid it because it makes your teeth have a yellowish appearance. Further, black is a wrong choice as it makes your teeth appear as if it has food particles held on the enamel. Pick dark colors since they make teeth appear whiter. Darker hues will compensate for the pale white of your teeth.
Inform your orthodontists on the options of colors you have selected. The information is helpful as it ensures that the orthodontist will prepare the braces in advance.If you are not happy with the braces you get on the first time, inform your orthodontist so he can offer an alternative during the next visit. In the case you do not want people to discover that you are wearing braces, you can consider requesting your orthodontist to use Invisalign as they are not visible.

Rubber Stamp Shows
Rubber Stamp Shows are terrific for ideas! They usually come to my area about once or twice a year. Vendors who are selling supplies (like mounted and unmounted rubber stamps, inkpads, paper, etc) rent space in the showroom. They always have fabulous classes on techniques, casual demonstrations, and people who can talk to you and answer specific questions for you. There is usually a small entrance fee, but count on spending more than you think because of the terrific selection. Pick up a show program, which will list all of the vendors at the show, including their address (some will be local), and whether or not they have a mail order catalog.
Gather ideas, take notes, some people may allow you to photograph their samples or demonstrations. There is no better motivation for creativity than a rubber stamp show! Have fun!
Please come again soon!

Renewing our Commitment to Human Rights
08 September 2018
As we celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, we, the Association of Human Rights Institutes (AHRI), meeting at the University of Edinburgh on 8 September 2018, call for firm and unreserved human rights engagement in times of turmoil. We need to confront and to respond to the wave of racism, populism and violent language we see in politics, the media and society. We reject the anti-human rights ideas which have entered mainstream political discourse. Humanity should always trump nationality. We strongly reaffirm the universality and indivisibility of all human rights as the foundation of international peace, sustainable development and human dignity.
We should engage with today's rather than yesterday's battles. But, are the challenges truly different than they were 70 years ago?
The drafters of the Universal Declaration found that 'disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind.' In response to the genocides in Rwanda and Srebrenica, world leaders in 2005 unanimously decided that governments and the international community have a responsibility to protect populations against genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. Today, we are appalled by the fact that the international community again is allowing gross and systematic human rights violations,including genocide, to happen before our eyes. We are also deeply disturbed by the attacks against human rights defenders in Colombia, Venezuela and countless other countries. As we meet, we cannot fail to be shocked by the outrageous war crimes in Syria, South Sudan and Yemen and the ongoing genocide of the Rohingyas.We call upon States Parties to the Genocide Convention to hold both individual perpetrators and States responsible for violations with a view to preventing and stopping them and to seek accountability and reparation.
In line with the Universal Declaration we, as a global network of academic human rights institutes, call on every individual and every organ of society to stand up for a new social and international order in which all human rights can be fully and effectively realized.

Black Friday 2015 Digital Camera Buying Guide
To thumb through the pages of all the Black Friday advertisements this year, and see digital cameras popping up page after page, it's almost as if the camera phone doesn't exist. Although it's become a widely accepted truth that camera phones are replacing the need for a separate device, page after page from each and every retailer is filled with digital cameras, and all of them at a discount on Black Friday. We've looked through the ads to compile our list of the best deals in Compact Point and Shoot, Superzoom, and DSLR cameras and present them to you here, in our Black Friday 2015 Digital Camera Buying Guide.
Our Pick
Nikon Coolpix L31 16MP $46 – Walmart
No other Black Friday point and shoot camera deal comes close to Walmart's Nikon offering. This Coolpix L31 features a 16MP sensor, 5x optical zoom with motion blur reduction, and even records 720p HD video. For $40 less than the next lowest price compact point and shoot digital camera, this is hands down the best deal in a pocket-sized camera.
Runner Up
Panasonic Lumix TS30 $99.99 – Panasonic.com
The Canon Elph 160 featured at both Best Buy and Kohl's for $10 less loses this battle for all the extra features that $10 gets you. The biggest upgrade here, aside from this camera being waterproof, shock proof, and dustproof, is the inclusion of optical image stabilization, giving you crisp and sharp photos even without a steady hand. Rounding out the features here is a 16MP sensor, 4x optical zoom, and 720p HD video recording.
Our Pick
Nikon Coolpix L340 99.99 – Target
Target proudly displays the winner of this category on the front page of their Black Friday ad, and for good reason. The only other similarly priced super zoom camera is Walmart's Canon SX400 deal for $99, but the Nikon Coolpix L340 outstrips the Canon in every possible way. The large 28x optical zoom lens with vibration reduction image stabilization and 20.2MP sensor means you won't miss a minute of the action even from a distance.
Runner Up
Panasonic Lumix 30x $299 – Panasonic.com
You can have it all with this Panasonic Lumix 30x "Travel Camera" by Panasonic. And by that we mean all the power and versatility of a super zoom but with a size and form factor more akin to a compact point and shoot. This pint sized wonder features a 30x optical zoom lens and a slew of advanced features for this price point, including RAW format shooting, 10fps burst shooting, full HD video at up to 100fps, and 3cm macro shooting. At $100 off this Black Friday, there's no better choice for a fully-loaded digital super zoom.
Honorable Mention
Samsung Galaxy 2 Camera $249.99 – Best Buy
Our only honorable mention here is included because of the unique twist it brings to digital cameras in addition to the $50 Black Friday discount. Shoppers will find the 16MP rear illuminated CMOS sensor and 21x optical zoom lens to be the most boring part of the Galaxy 2 Camera after they discover the rear 4.8" 720 HD touch screen. One tap of that screen reveals that this camera is running full blown Android 4.3, giving it unparalleled connectivity and social media options, largely thanks to the wifi connection and access to the Google Play app store. Apps on a digital camera may sound like a gimmick until you use those apps to pair your smart phone to this camera and use it as a remote viewfinder and shutter control just before firing up Facebook and Twitter to upload your photos directly from the camera.
Entry Level Pick
Nikon D3300 Bundle $399.99 – Best Buy
It was a toss-up between this bundle and the Canon T5 bundle for $399 also featured at Best Buy amongst other retailers. While the T5 includes more accessories for the price, the Nikon D3300 is without question the better camera, and the T5 is considered by many to be only a T3 with a fresh coat of paint. The D3300 has 24MP CMOS, 5fps burst shooting, and records video up 1920x1080 at 60fps, and the bundle includes a 18-55mm lens and 32GB SD card. If you want more versatility, Best Buy offers an upgraded bundle with an additional 55-200mm lens, camera bag, and wifi adapter for $100 more.
Hobbyist Pick
Nikon D7100 Bundle $999.99 – Best Buy
Nikon's famed APS-C sensor and removal of the low-pass filter on the D3300 help propel the D7100 to victory over the Canon 70D. This 24.10MP DSLR bundle which includes 18-55mm and 55-300mm lenses, camera bag, and a 32GB SD card, all for $200 less than the 70D bundle.

Baseball Stadium Reviews and Guide
The purpose of this website is to be a one-stop shop for all fans to learn about every MLB (major league baseball) field and stadium in the United States of America. In this website, I'll review the ballparks that I've been to along with blogging about my trips to future games.
Throughout this site, I'll share the MLB stadium map by stating what baseball parks are near me if I visit a particular stadium. By listing out baseball fields near me, you can plan the perfect baseball trip. I will also discuss the MLB field dimensions of each park, the capacity, and much more.
How Many MLB Stadiums Are There?
Currently, there are 29 MLB ballparks of America and one in Canada in the game. There are 15 ballparks in the American League and 15 in the National League. You will find a page dedicated to each MLB Stadium name on this site, but some of the most popular place include Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park, Dodger Stadium, and SunTrust Park.
How Many Parks Have I Been To?
If we exclude duplicates like New and Old Yankee Stadium, I've been to thirteen places. You can see my thoughts of each place I've been on the reviews section. As of 2019, my PNC Park Review continues to be my favorite park. Here is a picture of me below at Comerica Park on June 6th, 2019.
How Many Domed Baseball Stadiums are Currently in the Game?
The only true domed Stadium belongs to Tropicana Field which is out in Tampa Bay. In the past, MLB had many more domed baseball stadiums, but now the popular method is to have retractable roof parks. Some of the retractable roof parks include Miller Park, Marlins Stadium, Minute Maid Park and Oracle Park.
When Does Major League Baseball Start?
Baseball season typically begins during the first week of April. At times, you may see some teams begin their season slightly early if they are playing a game in Japan or somewhere else. The baseball season runs from April through September and October is set aside for the playoffs.
Do I have a Favorite Team?
Yes, I was born a New York Yankees Fan (originally from NY), so that will always be the case. However, I've been following the Rays a lot the last two seasons, so I'm rooting for them in 2019. I wrote a blog post on why Tropicana Field is not a dump which took off on Reddit, so check that post out.
How Long is a Major League Baseball Game?
When visiting a baseball ballpark, you should budget for 2.5-3.5 hours for a typical game. Depending on what you like to do before a game, you could be at the park even longer. One famous fan (Zack Hample) goes to each MLB Ballpark early to catch batting practice balls, but you could use that extra time to walk around the stadium before the first pitch.

Last Updated on November 11th, 2019
If you suffer from acne, then you probably already understand the difficulty of pinpointing its causes with exact certainty. While there are various factors which may be contributing to your breakouts1, the buildup of bacteria and its relationship with your skin's oiliness, is one of the most common culprits. How can a visit to the sauna help your situation?
Article Table of Contents
Your complexion is generally rich in both good and bad bacteria, but when there is an excessive amount of the harmful kind, your skin tends to act up in order to notify you of the problem. One way in which this happens is that the Propionibacterium acnes, the harmful kind of germ, causes enzymes to react with the your natural oils, resulting in zits. These oils are based on sebum produced by your sebaceous glands, and their overabundance2 causes pimples Although this interaction between germs and oils is a primary cause of acne, various elements can alleviate, as well as aggravate the situation.
Indeed, while your acne can essentially be caused by most things under the sun, the list of acne-fighting remedies is also seemingly endless. One way in which you can relieve your skin from its bacteria and oil is by sweating them out. The high content of antimocrobial peptides in sweat3 serves as an excellent repellent of harmful germs. More concretely, the protein dermcidin which is also found in sweat, counteracts the activity of acne-causing germs. In essence, dermcidin destroys this kind of bacteria, potentially doing away with acne altogether. Specifically, it inhibits the germs' production of protein and RNA. Not only that, but scientists have found a direct correlation, expressing that the less a person sweats, the less dermcidin they produce, and the more acne they might experience. Fortunately, the converse is also true – the more you sweat, the fewer acne-producing bacteria you will have.
And what better, and more fun, way of sweating than visiting a sauna? Saunas have been used for inciting healthy amounts of sweating for dozens of centuries. Sweating in a sauna-like environment decreases the oiliness of your skin and even regulates your skin's pH levels. All of this immediately decreases the possibility of pimple-formation on your skin. Less sebum, a higher level of skin cohesion, and less skin peeling also contribute to a more fresh, glowing skin. Most importantly, if your skin has these characteristics, then it is almost impossible for acne-causing germs4 to successfully thrive on its surface – leaving you with less bad bacteria and an abundance of good bacteria.
Another more obvious way in which sweating in a sauna can diminish your breakouts is the deep moisturizing resulting from intense regulated sweating. Your body can become almost twice as hydrated from spending some time in the sauna, leading to an overall improvement of the activities of your skin. What is more, the intense sweating leads to better blood circulation which not only benefits your organism's overall functioning, but it specifically reduces the risk of acne, as well. If you happen to already be battling severe breakouts, a faster blood flow will encourage your complexion to heal itself and will also stimulate your epithelial cells' nutrition rate. Last but not least, frequenting saunas has been proven to alleviate stress, which is another major cause of acne5. Your ability to take in oxygen will be increased and your metabolism will also work faster – leading to a generally improved quality of life for your organism.
Not everyone agrees that saunas are beneficial for curing acne. As sweating is also generally associated with unhealthy skin6 and more oiliness, some think that saunas can actually aggravate the condition. While your sweat's sodium and potassium serve to exfoliate your skin, the removed skin cells and the natural oils can get stuck on the surface of your skin, immediately causing zits. However, as long as you thoroughly wash your skin from the built up sweat, your complexion will be able to breathe freely again, without the burden of dead skin cells. Make sure to avoid going in with any beauty products on your face, so that you can experience the full beneficial effects. Additionally, gently cleanse your face with a mild product some time after exiting, in order to ensure deep cleansing. You might also want to leave the sauna after a quarter of an hour to avoid excessive sweating which can lead to dry skin.
The main possible cause of side effects from visiting a sauna is, of course, the intense heat. As mentioned, this seriously quickens your blood circulation rate to as much as three times its normal rate. Naturally, you should avoid visiting the sauna if you have any health problems related to your blood flow, such as any sort of heart disease, abnormal heart beat, unstable angina, etc. Of course, also skip the sauna if you have been consuming alcohol, as this can inhibit your sweat glands, and prevent you from releasing sweat, and causing overheating.
Moreover, sweat does also produce particles, such as interleukin-1 alpha and beta cytokines, which can lead to skin irritation7.These two call onto the cells working for your immune system and can thus cause pimples by having the cytokines enter your epithelial barrier.
What is more, excessive sweating rids you of a high percentage of electrolytes, disturbing the contents of your blood. This is particularly true if you are new to frequenting saunas, as your body's sweat may adapt to this later, so make sure to closely monitor your time inside – at least at first. Sweating also diminishes your amino acid storage by as much as half. This serves to decrease your system's protein availability and your body's general ability to rework protein into fuel for your organism by messing up your nitrogen balance.
Sauna has been used since ancient times to cure all kinds of physical disorders. Many also attest to its ability to provide relief from certain skin conditions8, such as acne. Still, everyone's skin is different, so you must enter each session in the sauna with caution, if you intend to try to combat your breakouts with its intensive heating. Moreover, everyone's type of acne is different, so your pimples may not respond in the same way that someone else's do. Sauna's ability to remedy your complexion's ailment may depend on the exact kind of pimples that you get, on the frequency of their appearance, etc. Indeed, some people report an aggravation of their skin problems due to frequenting the sauna. If you are set on trying out sauna's benefits on your skin, make sure to do extensive research on the topic, in relation to the exact kind of breakouts that you experience. Regardless of the information you obtain, start off slow, entering the sauna for only a few minutes at a time in order to monitor its effect on your complexion. As usual, the best advice is to consult a dermatologist or another kind of specialist, if you are curious about sauna's potential effect on your acne.
To be your most trusted ally in your pursuit of clear, healthy skin.

Ancient Samarkand. Madrasah of Ulugh Beg. View of the Middle (Large) Niche and Sections of the Preserved Two-Storied Cells
This photograph of the inner courtyard facade of the Ulugh Beg Madrasah in Samarkand (Uzbekistan) is from the archeological part of Turkestan Album. The six-volume photographic survey was produced in 1871-72 under the patronage of General Konstantin P. von Kaufman, the first governor-general (1867-82) of Turkestan, as the Russian Empire's Central Asian territories were called. The album devotes special attention to Samarkand's Islamic architecture, such as 14th- and 15th-century monuments from the reign of Timur (Tamerlane) and his successors. In the center of Samarkand is the Registan ensemble, composed of three major examples of a madrasah (religious school). The oldest madrasah on Registan Square is named after the astronomer-king and grandson of Timur, Ulugh Beg (1393?-1449), who built it in 1417-20. This view shows the courtyard side of the great iwan (vaulted hall, walled on three sides, with one end open) entrance arch, wracked by severe structural damage due in part to earthquakes. Above the central portal (bricked up) is a faience panel with a remarkably complex star pattern -- perhaps a reflection of Ulugh Beg's fascination with astronomy. The walls of the iwan niche are surfaced with monumental geometric tile patterns. The corners of the niche have attached ceramic columns rising to the ruins of the arch vaulting. The arch is flanked by polychrome ceramic strips with intricate decorative figures. On either side of the iwan are remnants of a two-story arcade that contained rooms for scholars.

[What you need to know to start the day: Get New York Today in your inbox.]
A few years ago, when Rana Safieh learned that the United States had given her family refugee status, she was overjoyed.
In 2012, Ms. Safieh fled Syria with her four children after their house was bombed. Since then, Ms. Safieh, who had been an elementary schoolteacher in Damascus, had been living with her mother outside of Cairo. The money she'd saved from selling off her jewelry had run out, and she could find only part-time work. Ms. Safieh's children were unable to attend Egyptian schools because of their immigration status.
In December 2016, as the family finally prepared to leave Egypt for the United States, Ms. Safieh signed a promissory note to repay a travel loan, offered by the International Organization for Migration on behalf of the State Department, which would cover their airline tickets.
"I was so happy I didn't pay attention to how much they would charge me," Ms. Safieh said in Arabic over the phone from Albany, where she now lives. "I just wanted to leave."
About seven months later, Ms. Safieh started getting notices in the mail about paying back the $5,356 loan.
"I almost had a heart attack," she said.
For decades, the State Department has funded interest-free travel loans to refugees who, like Ms. Safieh, cannot afford the cost of relocating here. Six months after their arrival, borrowers are expected to start repaying the loans to one of nine private nonprofits, known as resettlement agencies, which are involved in helping refugees start their new lives here. When refugees make their travel plans, they are assigned one of these resettlement agencies through the International Organization for Migration, which administers the travel loans.
The average loan per person is $1,100, and that amount can quickly increase when considering a full family. Meanwhile the resettlement agencies, including World Relief, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and the International Rescue Committee, all of which collect the travel loan payments but have nothing to do with granting them to begin with, retain up to 25 percent of the total payments.
According to the most recent data from the State Department, in 2017, refugees made over $66 million in loan repayments. Of that amount, a bit over $14 million went to the resettlement agencies.
Some advocates think that these agencies should not be taking money from those they are trying to help. The nonprofits involved claim that these fees go toward their administration costs and programming, all of which is focused on giving refugees long-term financial security.
After coming to Rochester from Kenya, Sadiya Omar, 52, is finally enjoying some stability. She immigrated in 2002 with her three children, following a decade of living in a Somali refugee camp. Her travel loan was more than $3,000. Repaying it became a four-year ordeal.
"I worked two low-paid jobs, seven days a week," said Ms. Omar, whose monthly payments of $70 came on top of bills, rent, child-care costs and the money she wired to her parents back in Kenya.
Today, Ms. Omar's children are almost done with college. She is now the vice-president and co-founder of Refugees Helping Refugees, a Rochester-based nonprofit that, among other services, helps Western New York refugees renegotiate the terms of their loans with billing agencies.
"I spoke English before I came here, which is why I was able to get a job after two months," she recalled. Ms. Omar said that those who have to learn the language often struggle to find work in time for their first repayment.
This is what happened to Baydaa Majeed. Her family had relocated from Baghdad to Brooklyn in late 2015. When the newcomers were asked to start repaying their loan of almost $5,800, they were all still unemployed.
"It was really stressful," said Ms. Majeed, a college graduate who, because of the language barrier, had failed to land even entry-level positions in retail.
The Majeeds were granted a three-month deferral of payments, but when the bills started coming again at the end of that period, Ms. Majeed and her relatives still hadn't found work. Eventually, the family heard of an initiative by the Arab-American Family Support Center, a New York-based nonprofit, which would ultimately settle their debt.
Rawaa Nancy Albilal, president and chief executive of the Support Center, said that travel loans put refugee families under incommensurable stress. She questions whether resettlement agencies should be taking a commission on repayments, as the practice, she said, "defeats the purpose of their mission."
Eskinder Negash, the president and chief executive of the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, the agency assigned to collect payments from both Ms. Safieh and the Majeeds, argues that the fee is fair; if the State Department requires refugees to pay back their loans, his nonprofit should be allowed to recoup its costs, which include paying three full-time employees who coordinate the repayments.
"The question is whether we should charge refugees for their transportation to begin with," Mr. Negash said.
According to a spokeswoman for the State Department, which, it must be said, takes a loss in the travel loan transactions, having refugees pay for their travel expenses helps defray resettlement costs and can strengthen the newcomers' resolve for a successful migration.
The department maintains that the loans are designed to encourage repayments without placing undue hardship on refugees, as interest-free deferments and reduced monthly payments are easily granted to struggling debtors. In the process, newcomers are given an opportunity to become financially literate and build up their credit history.
The opposite is also true, however, as missed payments can affect credit scores.
To date, slightly over 18 percent of all the loans issued to refugees in 2016 did not receive a single payment, according to data from the State Department. These missed payments were reported to credit agencies. For a while, Ms. Safieh, who ultimately found a part-time job as an Arabic teacher, was nearly $800 behind on loan payments. She still needs to repay over $3,500.
"When you don't have much, it's hard to pay for anything," Ms. Safieh said. "Frankly, I don't know what to do."

In 2016, I bought 2 moto X pure phones (XT 1575), one of 16 GB and one of 32.
One and a half years later, in 2018, they began to fail, with weeks of difference. The phones turn off, when the battery still has charge. If you tried to turn them on, the image of the battery with 0% charge appeared, but when you plug the charger, the battery charge shown was much higher, 30 to 70%. At first it happened when the battery was below 15%, but each time it passed with more load,even doing it with charge superior to 50 or 60%
Motorola recommend to erase the cache, or use it in safe mode, or reset it to factory. All these steps were followed and the failure continued.
Finally, on the advice of several technical services, in June 2018, i replaced both batteries.
In the 32 gb phone, the fault happened again after 2 months. in the other it began last week.
So now, I have a useless phone, as i can not trust what battery percentage it shows.
Because I'm living in Argentina, and I bougth the phones in the US, local motorola service will not receive them.
So, here I am, trying to see if someone could help me solve it.
Thanks in advance
Did your replacement batteries have the "bend" like the original batteries? where did you source them from?
Actually, they were flat.
I bougth them online. They were sold to me as original spares.
That's what I thought, those were not original batteries. Like you, I have a 32GB MXPE that I've owned since 2016. This MXPE has a failing battery that I need to replace, but the battery isn't *that* bad yet. However, I recently purchased a 64GB MXPE from eBay and it had a TERRIBLE battery that was having random shutdowns just like you describe, and I have a Motorola Droid Turbo 2 that started doing this. I spent hours, days really, searching forums and listing to find a "real" genuine battery to replace it with and to find out what others were going through with battery replacements. From this research I discovered that any battery that arrives flat and not already bent for the MXPE, is a counterfeit. I also discovered that eBay, Amazon, and Aliexpress were not reliable battery sources. People complained of batteries only lasting a few weeks or a few months from these sources, so I was not exactly confident I would be able to find a real battery.
I fix phones as a hobby and I have a friend who owns a phone repair shop and, after talking with him, he suggested that I source my battery from Mobile Defenders . com. He said that he had used them in the past for Motorola repairs and they seemed to have genuine Motorola parts. So, I ordered a battery for my MXPE(and my Droid Turbo 2) and when I compared the factory installed battery to the replacement, they were identical complete with bend. The only differences that I could discern were serial numbers and the old battery had a slight "puff." Performance of the new battery has been incredible(for a MXPE) and I could not be happier with it. Based on what you describe, I would be inclined to believe that the replacement batteries you received were counterfeit and simply failed due to cheap materials/construction. If it were me, I would find a genuine battery source to get replacements from and try again. I'm not sure if Mobile Defenders will ship to Argentina, but you could always email them. It's frustrating that more genuine parts suppliers are not available, hopefully you can find something.
First of all, thank you for your replies.
I know, the quality of the battery, may be part of the problem. But the thing is, that the original ones, that came with the phones when I bougth them, only lasted 15 months. Never in my history of phones, had a battery died so early.
I would hate, to spend a lot of money on an original certified battery, and have the same issue in a year.

A woman has shared her airport encounter with "an angel," who just so happens to be a former University of Oklahoma football player now in the NFL, after she almost had to miss her flight back home – and it is now going viral.
On May 30, Delilah Cassidy tweeted about "the most amazing thing" that happened to her. She said it all started when she learned about American Airlines' new policy of passengers having to pay to take carry-on luggage onto planes.
Cassidy said she put all of her belongings into just one bag but it ended up being too big. So, the airlines proceeded to charge her $50 – except they didn't take cash, which was all she had, having just returned from Europe.
That's when Cassidy was told she would have to miss her flight to head back to the ticket counter to pay there.
"I'm pleading, devastated after a long day of travel," she said. "Then, this man walks up and says 'How much is it?' They tell him $50, and he says 'I got it.'"
Cassidy said she was "astonished" and insisted the man not worry about it – but to no avail. The man hands over his card, shocking employees with his generosity, then simply tells her "to have a great flight and hop on board."
"I'm crying as I write this and as I board the flight," she said. "I stop him as he's sitting in first class and try to give him my money, but he just shook me off and told me to pay it forward."
Cassidy said the gesture made her "heart so happy" and believe "there are good people in this world." She then encouraged her followers to "be that person for someone."
"Because, I know, after this, I sure will be," she said.
It wasn't until a little later Cassidy realized who the man behind the act of kindness was: none other than Jermaine Gresham.
Gresham was a standout Sooner from 2006 to 2008 and now plays for the Arizona Cardinals.
Cassidy's tweet of her selfie with the athlete has over 40,000 likes.
