Moore Bicycle Accident Lawyer
Many people enjoy biking to save money on gas, lower carbon emissions, and for pleasure and exercise. Unfortunately, the increased numbers of bikes on or near major roadways could lead to increased numbers of accidents between bicycles and motor vehicles. Due to the lack of protection provided by a bicycle, bikers are generally more likely to sustain serious injuries than those in an enclosed motor vehicle. If you or a loved one has been injured in a bicycle accident due to someone else's negligent actions, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact a Moore bicycle accident lawyer as soon as possible to discuss your legal options. A skilled personal injury attorney may be able to help you seek damages for your injuries by collecting evidence and building a thorough claim.
Understanding the Obligations of Bicycle Riders
According to traffic laws, bicyclists should be yielded to in the same manner as pedestrians. Bicyclists are also required to obey the normal traffic rules, with some exceptions, according to Oklahoma Statute Title 47 §11-1202.
Exceptions to the Rule
There are a few mandatory rules that bicyclists must follow. For example, bike riders must use a bike that has a seat. Also, bicyclists cannot hold on to a motor vehicle to increase speed or pass other vehicles by crossing into another lane of traffic. Finally, bikers are prohibited from riding too close to the left-hand curb on a one-way street.
How Obligations Affect Compensation
Failing to operate a bicycle in the legal and appropriate manner may result in the injured bicyclist shouldering some of the blame for the accident. However, Oklahoma does not bar injured individuals from recovering compensation even when they are partially at fault. In Oklahoma, a percentage of liability may be given to both the victim and the defendant. This percentage of fault may proportionally reduce the total amount of compensation rewarded. This is known as a modified comparative negligence standard and is set forth in Oklahoma Statute Title 23 § 13.
Calculating Damages in a Bicycle Accident Case
One of the most important aspects of any bicycle accident case is the calculation of damages. There are two main forms of damages, economic and non-economic, that an injured individual may recoup as compensation. Economic damages could be described as a quantifiable monetary loss. These include:
- Lost wages
- Past, present, and future medical bills
- Cost of permanent medical equipment
Non-economic damages include losses that are not so easily monetized. Examples of these kinds of damages are the victim's pain and suffering, loss of consortium, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life.
While there is no cap on the amount of economic damages an injured person can seek compensation for, Oklahoma sets a maximum cap on non-economic damages at $350,000. Still, there are some exceptions to this rule, including situations when the motor vehicle driver is found to have acted with malicious intent or with a total lack of responsibility.
An experienced Moore bicycle accident lawyer could help gather receipts and medical records to help build a case. A skilled lawyer could also bring expert witnesses to testify to the value of non-economic damages.

BAGHDAD — In an intensifying humanitarian crisis in Iraq's embattled Anbar Province, thousands of residents are fleeing a pitched battle between Islamic State militants and pro-government forces around the provincial capital.
Checkpoints on the main approach to Baghdad from western Anbar Province are choked with cars, as the Iraqi authorities refuse entry to people who do not have a resident of Baghdad to vouch for them and provide them shelter. In normal times, a drive between the provincial capital, Ramadi, and Baghdad takes little more than an hour. Those lucky enough to reach Baghdad on Friday said they had been traveling for two days.
On the edge of Baghdad on Friday, just past a government checkpoint, Saad al-Thiabi, a police officer in Ramadi who has been battling Islamic State insurgents there for more than a year, was dropping off his family. He said he would return to the fight after catching a night's sleep, and doubted that he would ever see his family again.
"The main reason I'm taking them here is because I don't want to be beheaded in front of my family members," he said, his young son standing by his side. "I want to be killed away from them."
The unfolding crisis in Anbar, coming just after the government promised a new military campaign to retake the province from the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, suggests that the battle could be a monthslong, grinding affair.
Even while pressing its offensive in Anbar, the Islamic State demonstrated its ability to directly target Americans on Friday in a suicide car bombing near the United States Consulate in Erbil, the capital of the Kurdish region in northern Iraq.
The attack was deadly to civilians in the vicinity of the consulate, but ultimately unsuccessful in its aim. Deeming the vehicle suspicious, security forces opened fire on it, and it exploded before it could reach the consulate, officials said. Still, the attempted attack was likely to raise fears about the vulnerability of American diplomatic facilities in Iraq.
Local officials in Erbil said that three civilians had been killed and five wounded in the attack, which struck in the largely Christian neighborhood of Ankawa, which is popular with Westerners and has long been considered safe. The Kurdish news agency Rudaw reported that an American citizen was among the wounded, but that could not be immediately verified. American officials, though, said no consulate personnel, either diplomats or local guards, were hurt in the attack.
Later, in a post on Twitter distributed by the SITE Intelligence Group, the Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was "able to detonate a car bomb on the building of the American consulate in the city, which led to killing and wounding many of them, and unto God is all praise and gratitude."
In Anbar, the government's struggles also raise anew the question that has become a difficult one for American military planners advising the Iraqi government and coordinating an intensified campaign of coalition airstrikes: What role, if any, should Shiite militias, backed by Iran, play in the fight for the Sunni heartland of Anbar?
The militias, which played an important role in the recent victory in Tikrit, Saddam Hussein's hometown, have been absent, for the most part, from the fighting in Anbar. This is partly because of demands by American officials, who worry that the presence of militias, despite their fighting prowess, could raise sectarian tensions in Sunni-dominated Anbar.
Now, as the situation has deteriorated, some Anbar officials and tribal sheikhs have called on the government to send militia units, which are grouped under an organization called the Popular Mobilization Forces.
The governor of Anbar, Suhaib al-Rawi, called on the Shiite religious authorities to support the people of Anbar and help "to stop the vicious offensive by ISIS." This was interpreted as a plea for help from the Shiite militias.
At Friday Prayer in Karbala, the Shiite holy city in southern Iraq, a representative for Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the most important Shiite cleric, called on the people in areas under Islamic State control to liberate their own territories. But he also endorsed a role for the militias, saying, "It is all right for other Iraqis to participate with them to liberate their areas, despite their different affiliations or names, because at the end they are all sons of Iraq."
Iraqi Army Retakes Government Complex in Central Ramadi
Efforts to stem the rise of the Islamic State.
Mueen al-Kadhumi, a senior commander in the Badr Organization, one of the most prominent Shiite militias, said some of the same officials now asking for their help had just recently criticized the role of militias in the wake of the victory in Tikrit, where some units were accused of looting, burning homes and in some instances, extrajudicial killings.
"They were disparaging the popular mobilization, and now they want it," Mr. Kadhumi said. "It is not a chess game."
Sabah Karhut, the chairman of the Anbar Provincial Council, has not called for the militias to be sent to Ramadi, but said: "Ramadi today is surrounded on all sides by ISIS. We are in a critical situation."
Parts of Ramadi, but not the city center, have either been controlled or challenged by the Islamic State for nearly 16 months, well before the insurgents stormed in to Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city, last June.
While fighting surrounded the city over that time, there were pockets within where life went on almost as normal, said residents.
"Two days ago, it completely changed," said Adil Raheem, who reached Baghdad on Friday. "We had to leave, otherwise we would die." A man standing next to him called the soldiers and police officers defending Ramadi "cowards" and suggested that the city was at imminent risk of falling to the insurgents.
American officials have warned that the city could fall, and have played down the strategic significance of Ramadi to the efforts of the American-led coalition against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Iraqi government officials and security officers say the situation in the city is critical, with constant fighting, but are confident that it can be defended.
The violence convulsing Ramadi presented a grim backdrop to the visit this week to Washington by Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, who sought more American assistance in the fight against the Islamic State and promoted the military campaign in Anbar.
Mr. Abadi arrived back in Baghdad on Friday evening, and headed directly to the city's joint command center to be briefed on the situation in Ramadi. He then ordered that police and army reinforcements be sent to Ramadi, officials said.
The United Nations on Friday said 4,250 families had fled fighting in Ramadi in recent days. Iraq's sectarian divisions have made the situation worse: The authorities with the Shiite-led government in Baghdad are reluctant to ease the entry of large numbers of Sunnis from Anbar, and the United Nations said that at one checkpoint officers had orders not to allow any refugees into Baghdad.
Officer Thiabi, visiting Baghdad on Friday from Ramadi, said he had not been paid in two months but would go back anyway, even though he expected to die. "I want to defend my house, my city, my province," he said. "These are not Muslims, they are criminals. This is not Islam."
Describing the scenes in the city in recent days, he said: "Bodies in the streets. Bodies burned in cars."

The predecessor of Nova 4, the Huawei Nova 3 was appreciated for its great cameras of the segment. Now the successor has brought new heights in the camera section. We will discuss the camera section later and start with the display.
Design & Display:The Nova 3 was one of the best looking smartphones of its time. The Nova 4 is also not an exception. The design is quite similar to the Huawei P20 Pro with the three back cameras. The glossy back is made of glass to provide the best looks in the smartphone. In the front side it has a big 6.4 inch Full HD+ IPS LCD panel with 1080x2310 pixels and a hole on the left corner of the display for the front camera. The pixel density here will be 398 PPI with 19.2:9 aspect ratio.
Also check: Huawei's New Operating system: Huawei is working on its new OS, US-China relation can be the reason
Performance:The Nova 4 lacks the latest chipset of nowadays. It comes with the same SoC that was included in its predecessor also, the Kirin 970 by Huawei. Its a 10 nm based flagship processor from Huawei that can give a max clock speed of 2.4 GHz. The graphics section will be supported by Mali's G72 MP12 GPU for better experience. Also this will enable the GPU Turbo 2.0 in the Nova 4. The processor looks quite out dated but the pricing may be the reason for the compromise. Inside the Nova 4, there will be installed the latest software from Huawei, the EMUI 9.0 based on Android Pie (9.0), which is the latest from Google.
|Image collected
Cameras:The Huawei Nova 4 is definitely going to be a camera centric phone. Usually we see ram and rom variants of smartphones. But Huawei is going to launch three different variants of the Nova 4 with various camera module. The lower variant will carry a single 48 MP Sony IMX586 sensor on the rear side. The highest version will have triple camera setup on the rear side of 48+16+2 MP sensors with f/1.8, f/2.2 and f/2.4 aperture respectively. There is another variant of Nova 4, the standard variant which will not carry the 48 sensor in it and will come with 20 MP sensor instead. The remaining 16 and 2 MP sensors will be same. The prices will vary with the camera module also. In the front side, a 25 MP selfie camera with f/2.0 aperture will be attached under the display hole and this will be common in all the variants.
|Image collected
Variants and pricing:The Huawei Nova 4 was launched in China on 17th December, 2018. Pricing had been very impressive if we look at the specs specially the cameras. The 20MP camera variant costs CNY 3099 (approx $450 / 32,000/- INR). On the other hand, the Huawei Nova 4 with the single 48MP primary sensor is priced slightly higher at CNY 3399 (approx $490 / 35,000/- INR). Also there will be 4 colour variants of Black, Blue, White and Honey Red. All of the variants will be available with upto 8 GB ram and 128 GB storage option.
Battery and others:The Huawei Nova will have a 3750 maH battery in it, that is not very big but you can get a day of backup with it. Connectivity options will be served with 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (2.4GHz & 5GHz), Bluetooth 4.2 LE, GPS, and USB Type-C port with 18W fast charging support.
The specs and the pricing of the successor for the Nova 4 looks quite impressive. If Huawei can bring it with the right pricing in India, this phone can make a way for itself. Huawei Nova series has already crossed 65 million mark overall. Though the processor is a bit old but Huawei can make over it with the price point.

Syracuse (17-9, 6-7 in the ACC) suffered a 74-70 loss to the NC State (17-9, 7-6 in the ACC) on Wednesday night at the Carrier Dome. The Orange held a 6 point lead with under 10 minutes to play but Wolfpack senior Sam Hunt (pictured below) went off for 4 three pointers in the second half and lead NC State to the win.
Why Syracuse lost
Syracuse turned the ball over too much, especially in the first half. The Orange played well offensively in the first half shooting 55.6% from the field but it was the team's 10 turnovers that led to a 3 point deficit at the half.
Hunt's 4 three pointers were killers as he caught fire during the final 10 minutes of the game. Hunt made back to back threes and his three pointer with 2:48 left extended the NC State lead to 8 points.
Tyus Battle finished with 17 points on the night but overall he struggled to get much going throughout the game. He went the first 11:47 of the game without scoring a point and finished 5-13 from the field and 0-3 from the three point line.
1st Half
Early turnovers were costly for the Orange as they registered 3 quick turnovers out of the gate. Oshae Brissett picked up two quick fouls that forced him to the bench early. His replacement, Matthew Moyer, played a solid first half and had 6 points and 3 rebounds.
Battle struggled to make an impact at points during the game and the first half was no exception. He didn't record his first field goal until a very nice crossover and dunk that came over 12 minutes into the game.
Frank Howard picked up the slack in the first half and scored 9 points in the first 9 minutes of the game.
An NC State 10-0 run contributed to a 4 point lead for the Wolfpack with 3:55 remaining in the half. Guard Allerik Freeman drove to the hoop and scored at the buzzer to give NC State a 3 point halftime lead.

2nd Half
Brissett carried the Orange early in the second half as he showed off his versatility on the offensive end of the floor. He scored 11 points in the first 6:31 of the half and spearheaded an 8-0 run for the Orange. At the time, the Orange held a 47-41 lead.
Things got chippy between Howard and Johnson after Johnson dunked it on a breakaway. Howard shoved Johnson hard and Johnson got up in Howard's face which led to another light shove by Howard. The referees called a double technical which gave Johnson his fourth foul.
Syracuse aggressively attacked the basket and drew fouls in the second half. The Orange were in the double bonus with 9:43 left to play.
Things were looking like they might fall in the Orange's favor but Hunt then came alive and hit 4 three pointers over the next 7 minutes of play. Hunt's final three pointer gave the Wolfpack an 8 point lead.
Syracuse clawed back to tie the game with 59 seconds remaining behind 2 three pointers from Brissett and a driving bucket by Battle but ultimately a three pointer from Johnson at the top of the arc with 33 seconds left iced the game.
Brissett finished the game tying his career high with 25 points on 8-13 shooting. He also chipped in 7 rebounds and 3 steals.
Hunt scored 14 points on the game, 12 of which came from his second half three pointers.
Big Picture
This loss really hurts the Orange as it was a winnable game at home against a potential NCAA Tournament team.
The Orange now only have 5 ACC games left and they are 6-7 in the conference. Syracuse really needs to win 3 of their final 5 regular season games to give them a good shot at making the Big Dance.
Up Next
Syracuse travels to Miami to play the Hurricanes on Saturday at noon. The game is on CBS and presents a huge opportunity for the Orange to secure a resume building win against a top 30 RPI team. The schedule gets even tougher after the Miami game as Syracuse will face North Carolina at home on February 21 and Duke on the road on February 24.

Hello everyone.
I am a university student, I am also working part time job as a carer. Recently I started applying for online jobs to make extra money as I was struggling financially. I saw an ad looking for ebay seller to sell their product. I thought about it and applied for it. Few days later I received an email from a lady (I am not going to name her), she stated that she was doing drop shipping as she had made a deal with supplier. She send me contract on online which stated I would be paid for each item sold and the role of my job.
I agreed to it, she send me the picture of her product and details which I listed as it was. The item was sold but the buyer refused to pay for it when he found out it was drop shipping and I was selling it for the lady. His reason was that same thing happened to him twice and it was a scam. That got me thinking about whether this venture was even legit or just scam. I forwarded everything to the lady and I told her I would no longer be working for her. Her reaction was that either I pay for the order she made or relist the product or else she will sue me for breaching the contract. She send me her driving licence to prove that she was real. With no choice I had to relist the product, which sold and this time the buyer paid for it too.
Then all the drama started, I send the money to the lady and she assured me the product would be delivered. she said she had paid the supplier and item has been dispatch. Every time I asked her for the tracking number her reply would be that she is awaiting email from her supplier. Buyer kept asking me about the progress of the product and I said the item was dispatched. However, later I found out that the product has not been dispatch at all. After a week the buyer complained about the delivery and how I lied to her about the product being dispatch. The buyer threaten me to either send the refund or provide the tracking number. Unfortunately I had to refund her with my own money as she had opened a request with ebay. the Lady said the ring was already dispatched, so the buyer assured me that if the ring arrives at her postal service she would re pay me. It has been nearly three weeks now and the buyer has not yet received the items. The lady would not give my money back as she says I am the one giving her stress, she keeps saying her supplier has dispatched the item but she does not give me any tracking number. She says that she cannot make money appear. I told her I would sue her as per contract it was her responsibility to refund, yet she says she has proof about paying supplier and she told me to do what I want. It goes on and on I cannot write all the conversation here it will be too long sorry.
As a result of the refund I have a PayPal debt. of £750 plus £30 charge. I don't have enough money to pay the debt, I have bills to pay, essay to do, I have applied for loan with no luck, have called my bank to charge back but they cannot help in this matter. I am under stress, I don't know what to do. I just feel like I have been scammed. I feel like crying, all I wanted was to earn extra money and it landed me here.
PLEASE help me this is urgent, if not donation just loan me I will pay back in instalment. I have nowhere else to go now!!

I'm having Small World Syndrome in the most boring, literal way. I've been sticking fairly close to home, not going anywhere but work and the fabric store. I've had a lot of inside projects going so it made sense at the time, but I feel myself growing more resistant to doing anything else. This is bad! I have to move my feet before they grow to the ground or engage in some other homebound metaphor!
Part of it is a reaction to the weather - easier to stay inside and watch movies and sew or read, right? (the answer is: right.) And I've gotten a lot of things done, which makes me happy. But I've hit the point where it's just about to tip over into cabin fever, which is no good at all. Fortunately, this malady is treatable by opening the door and walking out.
There's some work stuff going on too, but I'm still sifting through it in my head. Nothing bad! But there's change with the potential of more change on the horizon. Transitions can be tough, but I'm trying to take the wider view. In some things (like this thing) I tend to fixate on how I must've done it wrong rather than the possibility that it will all work out as it should. I don't even know how it "should" and I think that's what freaks me out. I'm not quite sure what I want, or how many stages I'm willing to take to get there. SUNDAY CONUNDRUMS.

As mentioned before in this review, the team supporting Divi and Extra also have generated a number of high quality WordPress plugins. By linking Elegant Themes on either the mid-level $89 Developer program or the top tier $249 Lifetime Access program, you get access to all of these plugins.
Let's have a look.
The Divi Builder plugin is based on the page builder tool that is incorporated in the Divi and Extra themes. |} The Divi Builder that's found in the latest version of the Divi and Extra topics includes a back-end user interface. But, this update has not been implemented to the Divi Builder plugin nevertheless (it'll be added in the future). Because it is a standalone plugin, you can use this edition of this Divi Builder with any WordPress theme.The Divi Builder plugin can nevertheless be used to make custom page layouts, albeit through a back-end builder port. Any of the 46 customizable content modules could be added to your designs, with the capability to drag and drop them into position.Other useful attributes of the Divi Builder plugin include the capacity to rapidly replicate any page component, copying and pasting inside the builder, unlimited undos and redos, and an easy way to add custom CSS for your pages.The Divi Builder plugin making it easy to save any design, part, or module to your own library for reuse elsewhere on your website. If you upgrade any of the library items, you can selectively apply these changes to every instance of the item during your site.Even if you are not using a theme from Elegant Themes, then you should be able to utilize Divi Builder to personalize your WordPress website. Therefore, if you'd rather use a more minimal theme (like the ones produced by StudioPress instead of Divi) but you still need the capability to create custom layouts for your articles, then the Divi Builder plugin may be a good choice.Divi Builder compares favorably to another drag-and-drop builder plugins for WordPress. However, before the live front-end editor is added to the plugin, there are more user-friendly WordPress page builder plugins out there. Elegant Themes Coupon Code

Elegant Themes Support
Some years ago, Elegant Themes had a bit of a reputation for delivering less-than-stellar support to their customers. After looking into this and being a happy customer for a little while now, I am very happy to report that Elegant Themes seem to have resolved any issues there may have been.Their flagship products are regularly upgraded and enhanced, and the online documentation to their themes and plugins is extensive, including walkthrough text and videos. People that have an active Elegant Topics account can open a service ticket by submitting a question in the support forums.As well as a General Questions sub-forum, each Elegant Themes product has its own busy sub-forum.

Divi is undoubtedly one of the best and most common multi-purpose WordPress topics around. As you are able to buy Divi and Extra, along with 85 (admittedly increasingly obsolete ) other themes for only $89 (plus a few of very useful plugins), signing up for Elegant Themes represents excellent value for money.The upgraded Divi Builder that's a core part of the Divi motif is also one of the best WordPress site builders available now. Everybody, from those new to making sites to experienced web designers, can benefit from the power of the Divi Builder.However, Divi, Extra, and Tasteful Themes are not for everyone. Since they're such elastic themes, there is a lot of creative freedom, which could be overwhelming — especially if you don't have a clear vision for your site. The library of page templates has been created to a high quality, but there aren't any comprehensive site demos which you can import to your website in just a couple of clicks.If you prefer to have a motif built for a specific focus, like a business website or an internet portfolio perhaps, you might actually be better off looking at topics offered by a number of the additional, more focused theme shops.However, if you're searching for a WordPress theme which can be used to make any type of site, subsequently Divi and Extra and their countless customization tools and preferences are hard to beat. Throw in the rest of the benefits of signing up with Elegant Themes and you need to have everything you will need to make your WordPress website a success. Elegant Themes Coupon Code

This lovely village house is a unique medieval property situated on the edge of the beautiful medieval town of Monte San Martino. The front of the property leads directly from winding Via Roma to an intimate piazza a couple of minutes away. Stroll from the house through the town to a prize-winning restuarant, a choice of cafes, and bars, to food and chemist shops. Sip capucino at the cafe on the town square, framed by palazzos and a 15th century church.
The house itself has been lovingly restored to a high standard and retains many special charms. There are six large bedrooms, five with queen beds and a sixth with twins. The house also includes a fully equipped kitchen, a dining room and two living rooms, furnished with pieces made specifically for the house in Indonesia. This is a large property and every area is spacious, comfortable and stylish.
On your way home, pick up the makings for a fantastic Italian meal or book yourself into the superb local restaurant for dinner. Back at home, throw open the rear windows of the house and be amazed by the complete change of perspective, with astonishing views of the fields below and Sibillini Mountains in the distance. Enjoy this dramatic view not only from every window in the house but from the garden, from the dining terrace and the lower swimming pool terrace. Listen to church bells, to sheep bells ringing in the distance. From its elevated position, the house enjoys far-reaching views over the central to southern areas of Le Marche - the most beautiful and sought-after in the region. Monte San Martino lies in the centre of this golden triangle, roughly half an hour from stunning adriatic beaches such as Sirolo, among others, and half an hour from hikes and swims in mountain lakes. In winter, there is skiing and snow boarding 45 mins away in Bolognola.
The entire house can be rented or the ground floor taken separately. In case only the ground floor is rented, the second floor is closed off and never rented to another party. This is a house that can easily accommodate a large group, with room still for privacy and the chance to savour the delights of an unspoiled Italian village as well as breathtaking views of the countryside below.

[Transcribed information mainly from the early 1820s]"BARDSEY, a parish-town, in the lower-division of Skyrack; 4 miles from Wetherby and Harewood, 4 miles N. from Leeds, 19 from York. Pop. including East Rigton, 336, which being united, form a township. The Church is a vicarage, dedicated to All-Saints, in the deanry of the Ainsty, value, ~£4. 1s. 8d. p.r. £150. Patron, Geo.

The church of Bardsey affords a fine specimen of the Norman architecture, but not to be compared to Adel, although from the engravings given of both in Loidid et Elmete, we might suppose they were equally perfect. On the north side of the village, and near to the Grange, are large earth works of some ancient castle.
This place was born the celebrated William Congreve, the poet, and whose baptism is thus registered:- "William, the sonne of Mr. William Congreve, of Bardsley Grange, was baptised, February 10th, 1669."
He wrote the "Old Batchelor," the "Double Dealer," "Love for Love," the Mourning Bride, the "Way of the World," and some poems."

Blog Challenge
I haven't done many blog challenges, but this one sounded fun—possibly because I'm enjoying a beautiful 80° day outside, which always puts me in a great mood.
Herding Cats & Burning Soup Presents – BLOG ALL ABOUT IT Blog Challenge
This 2018 blog challenge is easy because each month has a different prompt. The prompt for March is Favorite Scent and April is Art. For the challenge, you can review books, interview authors, post pictures, share recipes, or get creative as long as you can weave the theme of the month into it. Since I only just found this challenge today and March is almost over, I'm keeping my post simple. I promise a more creative one for April. If you'd like to participate, you can sign up for the challenge here.
MARCH Challenge Favorite Scent: Cinnamon
To me, no scent is more wonderful than cinnamon filling a room, especially when the spice is baking in my oven. I like to put cinnamon sticks in hot apple cider and tea as well as bake desserts with apples and cinnamon. The aroma of chocolate chip cookies baking is a close second on my favorites list. To get the two great smells of cinnamon and chocolate together, I use the Rich Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake recipe from Taste of Home.
Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake
1 cup butter, softened
1 – 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
1-1/2 cups sugar (divided into batter and topping)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup milk (I use almond milk)
1 cup chocolate chips (I use semi-sweet)
¼ cup chopped pecans (I don't add these)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
In mixing bowl, cream butter, cream cheese and 1-1/4 cups sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder, soda, and salt. Add the dry and creamed mixtures alternately with milk. Stir in the chocolate chips. Pour into a greased 9-inch springform pan. Combine the pecans, cinnamon, and remaining sugar and sprinkle over the top. (I also sprinkle a handful of chocolate chips).
Bake at 350° for 50 – 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of pan to loosen and remove the side of the pan. Cool completely before cutting. (We never do that!)
Writing Tip
As a writer, I weave scents into my writing for my protagonists and readers. For instance, in my Dagger & Brimstone series, one of the characters, Arloe, loves lavender and uses a lavender shampoo. When her boyfriend Racer smells lavender, it immediately makes him think of her. When Racer and Arloe smell sulfa, they know a demon is nearby.
Next month's challenge – Art!

Milani Cosmetics' Color Statement lipsticks are marketed as a super-luxe, grown-up girl lipstick that promises to be true to its colour no matter what conditions you're in and where you are.
So does it live up to its description? Let me break it down for you in my review today!
- Nude Crème (26) is a pink-based nude with a very slight hint of peach
- Flamingo Pose (12) is very much a blue-based pink that occasionally comes off coral
The formula of these Milani Color Statement lipsticks are definitely comparable to MAC's Amplified Creme lipsticks.
The only difference that I can see (feel?) is that the Milani formula is slightly creamier, making them easier to apply – even if you're a victim of dry lips.
However, a downside to the creamier consistency is that it transfers a lot more than the Amp'ed Creme lipsticks.
The colour payoff is nothing short of amazeballs, and I think we have the creamier consistency to thank for that.
The colour glides on opaque, even with the lightest hand.
Between the two Milani Cosmetics lipsticks that I own, Flamingo Pose has a lot more staying power even when eating and drinking.
It'll stay for at least 3-4 hours, or more if you're like me and prefer to wear lipstick blotted down to a 'stain'.
Nude Creme still has pretty great staying power, but doesn't withstand food/drink as well as Flamingo Pose does. You'll still get a couple of hours' wear from it, but you'll definitely need to touch up after eating/drinking.
Nude Crème
Nude Crème glides on fairly nicely, however, it does cake and flake a bit after a while.
Some girls have found that it accentuates lip lines, but I didn't have that issue when using Bite Beauty's Line & Define Lip Primer underneath.
As for the colour, like many nudes, it's very hit & miss depending on the make up look you go for.
And as a very general rule of thumb, fairer skin girlies would suit nudes with lighter pigments and the darker the nude, the more brown there is in your nude lipstick.
Flamingo Pose
Ha. Excuse the derp face on the left, but here's Flamingo Pose worn.
Flamingo Pose also applies smoothly and evenly, and especially works for me when blotted down.
Milani Cosmetics Lipsticks in a nutshell
Although Milani's cruelty-free status is a confusing mess, I am really loving their lipsticks – yes, even with the strong watermelon scent.
They're highly affordable, the colour payoff is great, and there's so many shades to choose from.
So it pretty much justifies waiting for Cherry Culture for over a month to get them to me.
The good
- Easy application
- Great staying power
- Amazing pigmentation
- 36 shades to choose from
- Affordable
The bad
- Not easily accessible in Australia
- The sour watermelon scent may not be for everyone
- Golden plastic packaging isn't exactly 'appealing'
Milani Color Statement Lipstick review summary
Staying power
Colour Payoff
Worth the hype!
Much love,

On this day Indians proudly fly their tricolor Flag, sing patriotic songs like "Vande Mataram", "Jan Gan Man" and pay tribute to all the freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives in order to gain the freedom for India. So, being such a special occasion, we bring you a list of things which make India unique and amazing!
India introduced shampoo to the world!
This one is the biggest source of amazement. The first ever shampoo was used by locals in India. The recipe that was used in the country was, dried Indian gooseberry mixed with many other herbs was used to wash hair.
The word 'shampoo' is derived from the Hindi word, champo.
India sets up a voting poll booth for just 1 person!
During elections, India sets up a voting booth in the Gir Forest for only one person. Mr. Mahant Bharatdas Darshandas has been voting since 2004 in the polling booth specially made for him every year.
India is home to a floating post office!
India has the largest number of post offices in the world. Like that didn't make India exclusive enough, there is a floating post office in a boat in Kashmir, India.
The post office is on the famous and picturesque Dal Lake, a mainstay of Kashmir tourism, and the floating post office makes it even more unique.
India has a village called Snapdeal.com Nagar!
Shiv Nagar village in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh was renamed 'Snap-deal.com Nagar' after snap-deal.com, the e-commerce company, installed 15 hand-pumps in the village so that the villagers wouldn't have to walk for miles to fetch water. The village has the Snap-deal logo branded everywhere.
India has world's largest classical music festival!
India is home to some major music festivals of its own. The biggest is the Margazhi Music Season in Chennai, which takes place in December and January. With over 1,500 individual performances of Carnatic music by some of the art's biggest names, the festival is quite literally the biggest, at least in terms of sheer size. For anyone with an ear for Indian classical music, there is simply no better place to be.
India has world's oldest intoxicant!
The thick, greenish bhang is prepared during some Hindu festivals, and is proof that no one knows how to party quite like the Indians do. Prepared using cannabis and a mix of spices, ghee, milk and mangoes, bhang has been in continuous use in India since 500 BC! Its potency is legendary, so consume with care!
The Taj Mahal Palace
The legendary sea-facing jewel of Mumbai is the leading exponent of the Taj group of hotels in India. More than a century old, The Taj Mahal Palace is renowned for its grandeur and spectacular sights that it offers of the Arabian Sea and the Gateway of India monument before it. The hotel harbors the city's first licensed bar. It is also famous for the customised activities for children.
Discovery of water on the moon!
This fact is recalled with a sense of pride by Indians. For the first time ever, India discovered that there is water on the moon. The Indian Space Research Organisation's lunar probe, Chandrayaan-1 detected water using a Moon Mineralogy Mapper.
Mawlynnong, India- Asia's Cleanest Village
Also known as God's Own Garden, Mawlynnong is located about just 90 kilometers from Shillong in the state of Meghalaya. Nestled deep within the East Khasi hills, the village is home to just 500 residents, or 90 households as of 2015. In fact, prior to being declared Asia's cleanest village by Discover India magazine in 2003, the village remained mostly off the path of tourists visiting the area.
It isn't just its community-based cleanliness efforts that this village is known for. With a near 100% literacy rate and matrilineal traditions that have lessened gender disparities, Mawlynnong serves as a role model for communities across the globe in multiple ways.

The Corporation Library
The principal project of my first year of diploma. A 3,020 square metre educational facility set in the near future, at a time when the the Corportation of London has been recognised as an independent state from the UK.
The project focuses on the site's location on the edge of the Corporation of London. It aims to emphasise the duality of the city at present and the severe contrasts it creates in the fringe areas between The City and Tower Hamlets. The library itself contains the Corporation's history, re-housed from its current location in the Guildhall Library and the building's additional facilities are provided to educate those looking to gain right of passage into The City.
The project was presented as four technical documents that covered the preface, the practice management aspects of the project (procurement methods, cost management, risk management, planning, local development frameworks, boundary issues and listed building consent), the city and landscape context (urban development, historical and political context, precedents, protected sight lines and conservation areas, local demographics and solar studies) and design and detail. The films below are from the early stages of the project and form a visual study of the urban context and site location as well as re-emphasising the duality of the city in this area.

Boasting state-of-the-art gimcracks and a solid cast, the motion picture lifts off easily enough. Only it's not long before you realize that mission control forgot to load the Tang.
The futuristic adventure follows the travails of the all-American Robinson family. Headed here by William Hurt and Mimi Rogers, the clan has evolved from a galaxy-hopping version of "The Brady Bunch" into a squabbling, dysfunctional brood in search of harmony among the spheres. Fortunately, nothing breeds togetherness like a crisis, and the movie contains a monotonous chain of same: giant bugs, time warps, asteroid fields, bumpy rides.
Many of these mishaps, as well as the family's body-conscious bat suits and other of the movie's accouterments, originated with Gene Roddenberry, George Lucas, Ridley Scott and other gifted veterans of the science-fiction genre. So it's no surprise that writer Akiva Goldsman and much of the crew are veterans of the "Batman" franchise, "The Fifth Element," "Time Bandits" and so on. But given the precarious state of the planet, recycling does seem in order.
Polluted, overpopulated and swiftly running out of resources, Mother Earth can support only two more generations. So the Robinson family and ace pilot Don West (Matt LeBlanc) set off in search of other, habitable planets. Only hours into the mission, however, Jupiter 2 is jolted off course and the Robinsons wake from their cryogenic slumber to find themselves stranded in uncharted space.
Dr. Zachary Smith (Gary Oldman), who sabotaged the vessel, is along for the ride, a fate he bemoans loudly and with regularity. There's a surplus of grousing aboard Jupiter 2: Professor Robinson (Hurt) and the cocky rocket jockey repeatedly vie for the title of Alpha Centauri Male. Maureen Robinson (Rogers) chides them for "hosing the deck with testosterone" instead of sharing their toys like good little boys.
Robinson's wife and children, Will (Jack Johnson) and Penny (Lacey Chabert), feel neglected by their father, who proves as distant and self-absorbed in his work in orbit as he did on Earth. Will, a robotics whiz kid, finds solace in Robbie the robot (voiced by the TV show's Dick Tufeld), while the rebellious teen, Penny, makes a pet of a cuddly wittle space monkey (named Blawp for the sound you make when you frow up).
Except for Blawp, the movie is surprisingly faithful to the TV series's pilot episode on which it is based, although its science can be somewhat sillier. Yes indeed, there are starship bloopers aplenty. Most noticeably, the Jupiter 2 flies within a hundred miles of the sun's surface without the astronauts so much as breaking into a sweat.
Director Stephen Hopkins ("The Ghost and the Darkness") serves up the techno-baubles $70 million worth with panache. But hardware doesn't make a movie; characters, be they Blawp or human, do. And as so often happens with such outsize undertakings, they are overwhelmed by the gizmos. Technology, one. Astros, naught.

Success 2.0
Giving - The Miracle Drug
Alex has it good.
He's a 44-year-old executive at a large manufacturing firm, married to his college sweetheart, has two great kids, lives in a beautiful home and takes multiple vacations every year. His income is plenty to provide for his current lifestyle, put his kids through college and plan for retirement.
In addition, the future looks extremely bright, he's even got an outside shot at becoming the CEO by the time he's 50. From every objective perspective, his life is perfect.
But he doesn't always see it that way...
Intellectually, he's fully aware that he's extremely successful. He understands that he's locked down lifetime membership in the "1%" club and enjoys more of life's amenities than most people.
But, often he doesn't "feel" successful. No matter what he achieves, someone seems to be doing better (and of course they're sharing stories about their success on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.).
Even though he's regularly cruising past goals that once seemed lofty, it never seems to be enough. The chase for more leaves him exhausted, anxious, and wondering if he'll ever be able to enjoy all this hard work. The struggle is real. Alex isn't alone.
We (most of us reading this letter) have it good. We have more disposable income than ever, live in large well-furnished homes and enjoy a lifestyle our parents would consider "care-free".
But, instead of enjoying our blessings we work harder than ever, striving to keep up with our friends, neighbors and co-workers.
All this pushing and effort has a cost. We're suffering from more anxiety and depression than any generation before us. Frustrated with our lack of satisfaction, we're constantly searching for something to make us feel better.
Unfortunately, we assume that the best solution for what ails us is always the same – achieve and acquire more.
This leads to a vicious cycle, filled with a ton of accomplishment but not as much contentment, joy and happiness as we'd like. Sensing our angst, the marketplace has stepped in to provide a "cure" by filling every second of our downtime with a distraction delivered via a screen.
We wake up to the alarm on our phones, check email, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, work a long day, take the kids to practice(s) and then eat dinner in front of the TV/iPad before falling into bed exhausted.
Miracle Drug
What if I told you that the FDA had just approved a new drug that was clinically proven to reduce your stress, make you happier and even help you to live longer? Better, the drug had zero side effects, was affordable and could be taken every day for the rest of your life.
You have every reason to be skeptical.
For years, we've been drowning in miracle solutions promising us instant wealth, more hair, perfect relationships and rock-hard abs. Nothing has delivered as promised. This drug is different.
It's been tested for thousands of years and there are countless examples of its many benefits. When taken as prescribed, it works every single time.
So, what is this amazing compound and where can you get a prescription? The truth is that you've already got the remedy, you just need to take it.
This miracle drug is called "giving" and the instructions for its use are simple. Identify someone who could benefit from some of your resources (time or money) and then… give. That's it.
In case this sounds like another "too good to be true" scheme, consider these 5 objective and proven benefits of putting the needs of others before your own.
Reduce Stress
While there are countless factors leading to stress and anxiety in our daily lives, at the core, they are all associated with an obsession with our current situation.
You're worried that you won't pass the exam tomorrow, make enough money to send your kids to college or even have the courage to have a difficult conversation with an employee in the morning.
Giving forces you to take the focus off yourself and place it on someone in need. This automatically breaks our obsession with our own issues and helps to put things in perspective. In fact, research shows that even small acts of kindness can reduce stress in a meaningful way.
Feel Happier and More Optimistic.
Once your perspective starts to shift, moving away from the obsession with your own issues, you'll start to see life differently. It turns out that this subtle shift makes you feel happier.
A 2008 study, found that giving money to someone else made people feel happier than if they spent it on themselves. Additional research from the happiness expert Sonya Lyumbomirsky indicates that you'll feel better about life by simply performing 5 acts of kindness each week for only 6 weeks.
These good feelings aren't just made up emotions. In 2006, the neuroscientist Jorge Moll lead a clinical study showing that giving to others activated the pleasure center of the brain and resulted in an increase in the levels of dopamine released.
Interestingly, the more a person gave, the more "active the brain's reward center became".
Improve Physical Health and Longevity
Guess what happens when you reduce your stress level and begin to feel better about your life? The research is clear - your physical health improves.
In 2006, Rachel Piferi of Johns Hopkins University and Kathleen Lawler of the University of Tennessee published a paper indicating that giving social support to others on a regular basis reduces blood pressure.
Furthermore, in a groundbreaking study, Doug Oman from the University of California at Berkley followed 2,000 individuals for 5 years. He found that the group that volunteered for 2 or more organizations were 44% less likely to die.
Better Relationships and Less Loneliness
In today's "connected" world, American's feel lonelier than ever before. Only ½ of us takes the time to have meaningful conversations with close friends and roughly 25% of Americans rarely feel that people understand them.
Giving to others is a great way to address this loneliness epidemic. When you take the focus off yourself and instead think about doing something for another person in need, everyone benefits.
In her book The How of Happiness, Sonya Lyumbomirsky points out that "being kind and generous leads you to perceive others more positively and more charitably," and this "fosters a heightened sense of interdependence and cooperation in your social community."
If you have any doubt, go on a weeklong mission trip and witness the amazing relationships you develop.
Improved Financial Health
As you can imagine, one of the major reasons people don't support non-profits financially is that they don't have the means. Many claim that they'll give "as soon as" they're in a better financial situation.
The problem is that most people don't know exactly when they'll be in a better financial situation. A recent study by US Bank indicates that only 41% of Americans live on a budget.
In other words, they can't possibly know if they have enough disposable income to commit to others because they don't know where their money goes each month.
Making giving a priority challenges most people to pay more attention to their spending. Often, this leads to the creation of a monthly budget which has many proven benefits. It helps decrease spending, increases savings, achieve important goals (vacation, eliminate credit card debt, etc.) and reduces your financial worries.
As you've seen, giving really is the miracle drug. It has been proven to reduce stress, increase happiness, improve relationships, help you reach your financial goals and even extend your life!
Better, it works quickly and has zero nasty side effects. So, why are so few taking full advantage of this therapy? The list of reasons is long.
We're afraid that we'll run out of money to take care of our family. We can't imagine ever having enough free time in our lives to volunteer. We're worried that our donations aren't making an impact. We might even think that the government should be taking care of these problems, etc.
Ultimately, we don't believe that the benefit is worth the cost. But what if we simply embraced the idea that the benefit far outweighs the investment?
What if getting involved in a local mentoring organization/homeless shelter/food pantry/church/etc. helped you focus on all the amazing blessings you've got in your life? What if this shift in your perspective reduced your stress and increased the amount of joy you feel every day?
Wouldn't it be worth it?
Don't panic, believing that it's time to invest in others doesn't have to radically alter your life. Let me tell you, you don't need to quit your job, sell your house and move into the poorest neighborhood to get the benefits of this miracle drug.
But you do need to make a commitment.
It's more than pledging $25 for the next charitable campaign you see on Facebook or dropping a couple of dollars into the Salvation Army bucket.
Here are 3 simple steps to help you generate momentum to get the full benefits of the miracle drug called giving.
One more thing before you go...
It's one thing to read an interesting article, agree with the idea and maybe even share on social media. It's something entirely different to do something with what you've learned.
If you need a little extra nudge to help generate a little momentum and change your behavior, consider joining the movement and taking the Two Rule Pledge.

There are three predominant types of skin cancer: basal cell skin carcinoma, which is the most common, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. Badgett, 62, was diagnosed with basal cell skin cancer. It had to be removed.
Duke dermatologic surgeon Dr. Jonathan Cook, MD, performed Mohs surgery, the most effective way to remove basal cell and squamous cell skin cancer. In the process, he had to remove a large area of tissue on her lower eyelid, cheek, and nose that extended to layers deep against the bones. Badgett needed reconstructive surgery to improve the function and appearance of her eye and face.

2016 Ford Focus RS Will Have Even More Power, Stall Recovery Tech
After months of speculation, and a parade's worth of rumors, the Ford Focus RS figures are finally out for real. Buy a brand new, 2016 Focus RS, and you'll be getting 350 horsepower and 350 lb-ft torque. Volkswagen Golf R owners be damned. The 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost engine under the hood is definitely a performer. The a low-inertia, twin-scroll turbo packs a punch of 23.2 psi at peak boost. The system also makes use of a new intercooler, a low-restriction intake manifold, and the cherry on top being the performance exhaust. But that's not even the most interesting part. RELATED: See Photos of the 2016 Ford Focus RS U.S.-Spec The new Focus RS features a first-ever stall recovery feature. What is stall recovery? Rather than having to manually restart the engine after a stall, simply press the clutch and it restarts it for you. No need to shift the car into neutral either. It's a feature ford engineers are pretty excited about. "We knew we wanted to have stop-start technology on the RS," said Focus RS engineering and vehicle manager Tyrone Johnson. "We said, 'What if [we] went one step further and controlled for engine stall at launch using the same technology?'" RELATED: The 2016 Ford Focus RS Will Race to 60 MPH in Under 5 Seconds Pre-orders for the Focus RS have already begun, with production expected to officially begin later in the year.

A shopper has shared a moving tale of her experience with a Tesco till operator – and commended the supermarket for their employee's work.
Emma Shawcross was served at one of the chain's superstores in Diss, Norfolk, by a young man when she popped in on September 12.
After picking up her shopping, she approached the till with a full trolley and put her items on the conveyor belt.
She explains: "The guy on the till said hello and started scanning my items as I was still putting them on the belt at the other end.

Maira Liriano assists a lot of genealogists as assistant chief of the New York Public Library's Irma and Paul Milstein Division of US and Local History and Genealogy. Her facility serves more than 60,000 patrons a year, about 75 percent of whom are doing family history. We asked her about the librarian's side of the research equation.
Q. What is your favorite thing about working with us genealogists?
Q. What should we understand about librarians' expertise in genealogy?
Q. How do your reference librarians deal with family history inquiries?
A. Everyone on our staff is trained to handle genealogical questions. But again, we're not necessarily genealogists; we're librarians. We help people get the most out of their experience here. We know how to use our collections, new databases and other online sources most effectively. We also know a lot about resources outside of this building and other repositories we can consult. Don't overlook what we can help you with.
Q. How would you encourage a genealogist who is intimidated by your facility or staff?
A. If you can just walk in the door, we'll do our best to make you feel at home. Other libraries feel the same way; it's not just us. We're here to make information and knowledge available for people—that's why we exist. We exist for you. You have to believe that's really true.
