A Quick Look at Population Trends in Eastern OregonDecember 20, 2018
Recently released estimates from Portland State University (PSU) show the population increased in Eastern Oregon, as well as Oregon, from July 1, 2017 to July 1, 2018. This is in line with the long-term trend of a growing population in both the state and the region overall. PSU's Population Research Center does extensive work to create annual population estimates for the state, counties, and incorporated cities. Broad level data is prepared as of July 1 each year. The data is reviewed in November, certified, and then released in December. Detailed data focused on age demographics and the components of population change is released the following spring.
The population increased over the year in four of Eastern Oregon's eight counties. Baker, Harney, Malheur, and Umatilla saw growth. Grant, Morrow, Union, and Wallowa saw the scale tip the opposite direction. Growth was 0.2 percent for the region overall, which represents a slowdown from the previous over-the-year growth rate of 0.7 percent. Eastern Oregon's over-the-year rate was far less than the state's growth rate of 1.3 percent. The five-year trend (2013 to 2018) for growth was 2.7 percent in Eastern Oregon. This also represents a slowdown from the previous five-year trend (2012 to 2017) of 3.2 percent. The state's five-year-trend (7.0%) represents an increase of 0.4 percentage point over Oregon's previous five-year trend.
Baker County had the least growth for the year among the region's gainers. The county added just 15 residents; a slowdown from the previous year when Baker added 240 residents. Umatilla County added less than half as many residents as the county did the previous year. However, Umatilla still welcomed 265 new residents over the year and accounted for 70 percent of the region's population growth. Malheur County accounted for 21 percent of Eastern Oregon's population growth over the year. The county added 80 new residents, which was down from the previous year's gain of 140.
Grant County's five-year trend held steady with a loss of 35 residents. The county lost 15 residents over the year. Morrow, Union, and Wallowa took a slight step back in population with a loss of five, 15, and 20 residents, respectively, from 2017 to 2018. The three counties' over-the-year losses are in contrast to recent trends. Each of the counties added quite a few residents over the five-year period. Over-the-year population growth for the three counties was also among the strongest in the region from 2016 to 2017.
Long-term trends paint a clearer picture for Eastern Oregon. The region added 9,905 residents since 2007 (+5.5%) and 12,981 residents since 2000 (+7.3%). Growth since 2007 was driven by Umatilla and Union counties. Growth since 2000 was driven by Umatilla, Union, and Morrow counties. Morrow saw a relatively large decline from 2007 to 2018 as did Grant and Harney. Grant and Harney also saw relatively large population losses since 2000. I'll release a more detailed analysis that includes age demographics, birth and death rates, and net migration when the data becomes available in the spring.

Welcome back: You will already have a an idea of the landscape if you have read How to Start Affiliate Marketing 1. Today we will look at next steps: the all-important HOW and WHAT angles.
One of the first things to consider is how you will promote and sell products online.
Put yourself in the position of the buyer for a minute. Let's say you are going to buy a personal computer, and you have done the research, talked to friends and family, sought advice from work colleagues and made your judgments between Windows and Mac, desktop and laptop, size of hard drive, etc.
You know what you want. Your next decision will likely be about where to buy the computer.
You will consider the prices offered by sales outlets and you might investigate the lowest on offer. But will you automatically buy on price alone? What about guarantees, bonus offers, after sales service? And how reputable are the various dealers? Will they be around to help you if there is an issue?
Most buyers will pay a little more if they feel comfortable with the store/person who is selling the product.
You are more much likely to walk into an Apple store and spend $2000 on a new super MacBook than you are to buy from someone selling the same model from the back of a van for $1500.
That's because you trust the seller.
Now, as a would-be seller yourself, you will want to be seen by potential buyers as someone with both integrity and authority.
As an affiliate marketer, your store will not be a shopfront or a giant emporium where customers can stroll in and view your wares. No, your store will be virtual, in the form of a website. And it is through your website that you will build your reputation as someone reliable and knowledgeable.
(You can discover more about building a website here , but before even doing that, let's take a look at the "what" angle.)
Even before making your choices about the right website builders and hosts for you, you should decide what it is you are going to promote on your website.
JC Penney or Walmart sell a massive range of products. On the other end of the scale, there are specialist stores: McDonalds and their competitors have a limited menu based around burgers and other quick to cook foods. Other specialist stores sell even smaller ranges, some even have just one item in a variety of styles and colors.
As an affiliate marketer, you have the choice of hundreds of thousands of products to sell. However, the best advice is to find your niche. While you will never match the sales of some of the online giants, you can find a nice little corner of the market that will serve you well.
You might want to have a look at this advice from Kyle, the owner/founder of Wealthy Affiliate.
There's a good possibility you have something in mind already. If not, write down a list of things that float your boat!
What are you passionate about?
Did you say hamsters?
You mean that subfamily of about 25 species, classified in six or seven genera, that are now popular as house pets, partly because they breed in captivity?
Good for you!
OK, so you feel strongly enough about hamsters to create a website and regularly post articles and news about those little critters. You will need to do exactly that to establish some authority in the subject. It will help that you already know so much about hamsters.
OK, fair enough. If you are committed to doing that, let's move on.
The next question is whether you will be able to make money writing about hamsters. No matter how advanced you are in hamsterology, the chances of you selling any products through your Hamster Heaven website are minimal unless there are a lot of people out there who have a similar passion for the rodent and want to read your advice. (Getting them to find your website is a topic for another day!)
Of course, reading about hamsters on your site and buying a new hamster collar are two different things. Are there enough products out there for you to sell, products that people will buy? Do a basic search on products of which you are aware. Amazon is a good start, because if those products sell, they will stock them.
Still fixed on hamsters? You know there are millions of hamster owners and lovers out there who are falling over themselves to buy hamster stuff. All good so far.
Now, given that, how is the competition? I don't mean Amazon, but others out there who are writing regularly about hamsters?
How confident are you that you can play with the big boys who currently dominate the hamster market? Is there room for you? If you Google a few related sites, you will be able to develop a feel for how many sites there are and how well your intended niche is already covered by others.
You might find that hamster health and diets are well-covered in sites already but no-one is really covering hamster toys, which might be a market that is increasing exponentially. Perhaps that is your niche.
Then again, perhaps you have buried the hamster idea altogether. Go on to the next topic on your list. Ask yourself the same questions about passion, popularity and products, as well as examining the competition.
Here is some more sound advice about finding your niche.
This article is the second in a series How to Start Affiliate Marketing. There are endless possibilities, but plenty of challenges too. If you are really keen to get your teeth into it, there is no better place to learn the ropes than Wealthy Affiliate. You can read more about that here. and you can join FREE to learn even more.

Service: N/A
Food: N/A
Ambience: * * 1/2
Babe Count: * * * * *
One thing about the BDSM scene is that it's populated with serious babes. Ayeeeeee. And some of them are specialists in causing groin strain. You know... with a whip or something.
I'm sitting in the upstairs part of Merlin's Pub in Main Rd Melville with an assorted bunch of people. They all share one thing... they're interested or involved in Bondage and Discipline, or S&M, or BDSM, or Domination & submission, or D/s. These terms are, as you'll be aware by now, interchangeable. But maybe you've joined my journey into the dark side a little late.
Every fourth Wednesday of the month, this nondescript pub becomes the venue for what's called a "Pub Moot", a session at which Joburg's kinky people get together and learn about a particular topic. Now unfortunately, I can't give any details about the people, cos participation is understood to be confidential. But I can tell you about what goes on. Just know that I'm not mentioning names or talking about identifiable details. The world is not HUGELY understanding about this stuff.
Tonight's topic is "The use of Hypnosis in BDSM". One of the kinksters is a master at the art of hypnosis, and he's doing a practical demonstration on his slave. (Yes. You read right. Slave. The relationship this particular couple have opted to adopt is the Master/slave relationship. And yes. He owns her. She obeys his every command. Hypnotised or not. And yes, it's ENTIRELY consensual. This is something that WORKS for both of them.)
He tells us about how hypnosis works, about it NOT being dangerous, cos hypnotised people aren't in anyone's power... they're simply in an altered state where their subconscious is dissociated from the consciousness. They're not going to do anything that they wouldn't do if they were fairly drunk.
And he gives us some examples of how to use post-hypnotic suggestion in playing D/s games or scenes. For instance, instead of using actual chains to tie your babe up and immobilise her, you can hypnotise her to believe that on command, she will believe that she's been chained up. She can't move her feet, and she can't move her hands. She'll stay upright. And you can proceed to lay into her with your common or garden flogger, or just tickle her. As you see fit.
Or, for instance, if orgasm on command is more your thing, you can program that for her.
Unfortunately, Karen isn't with me here tonight. She's at her regular dancing lesson, getting instruction in the fine art of the Argentinian tango. And I'm getting ideas about her in a shopping mall and me saying a post hypnotic suggestion and seeing her drop the cans of tuna as she comes. Hmmmmmmmm. Yummy.
Then the demonstration gets amusing. Our resident Svengali gets his slave onto her feet and uses a post hypnotic anchor to get her rapidly into a deep trance. He then tells her that when he claps his hands, she will bark like a dog. He does a few other things, then wakes her up. She's alert and refreshed. He tells us a few things, then claps his hands. "Woof!" she says. And is bewildered. Then she realises what he's done. But he claps again. "Woof," she says, and can't stop herself.
"Think of all the fun you can have in restaurants!" he says, clapping.
"Woof!" she says. "No! Stop doing this to me!!!" she says.
"Woof." Black looks.
At the end of the demo, most of the people go downstairs to make use of the pub's bar facility. I'm left upstairs with a female submissive and a dominant dude. They've noticed some of the little knots I've been making on some sample rope that was handed out earlier. Back when I was a Boy Scout for three months, I learned quite a lot about knotting, and it's stayed with me ever since.
One of my favourite knots is The Turk's Head. It's an extremely ornate knot that looks like a woven ball. A bit like a ball gag, actually. (A ball gag is a ball attached to some straps that you force into the mouth of your submissive and tie around her head so she's forced to mumble and drool helplessly while you do unspeakable things to her. Hmmmm.) So I've been idly making Turk's Heads.
I show the dude and the babe how it's done, and they both make some with me.
And then I mention that I've come up with a very safe wrist tie, one that a sub can't wriggle out of, and which doesn't cut off circulation to the wrists. "Do you have a piece of rope?" I ask.
The dom gets this huge gleam in his eyes, and runs downstairs. He comes back up with 30 metres of red cotton rope. "Only eighty bucks!" he says.
"I'll be the dressmaker's dummy!" says that sub woman. "I LOVE being tied up!" she says.
We measure out some rope, and I do the tie, which is fairly intricate, and extremely elegant. "Here," I say to the dom. "Pull on this end." We both pull as hard as we can, and the sub is blissfully uninjured.
"Wow," she says. "Impressive. A thinking dom."
"How did you work this out?" asks the dom.
"It just arrived in my brain fully formed," I say. And that's how my mind works. I've got this incredible structural sense.
Now all I've gotta do is get Karen to agree to being hypnotised. Making her come on command will be deeply satisfying for me. Not to mention how much I'll save on rope.
If you're a kinkster, and want to come to the Pub Moots once a month in Joburg, go to this web address and ask to join the mailing list informing you of the topics and dates for the meetings: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Pub_Moots_ZA.

Foreman Shoots, Stops Former Employee Who Pulled Out A Gun And Started Firing
Two people are injured and police have charged a man with aggravated assault after a shooting at a downtown construction site on Wednesday.
Check it out:
Austin-Travis County EMS officials said it happened at 1901 Rio Grande Street. According to an arrest affidavit, Jesus Delarca-Reyes assaulted the foreman at the construction site.
The affidavit says Delarca-Reyes was a former employee at the construction site and was fired about two weeks ago.
On Wednesday, Delarca-Reyes returned to the site and demanded money. The foreman told him he had been paid in full and took out his cell phone to take photos of Delarca-Reyes trespassing on the property. Delarca-Reyes hit the cell phone out of the foreman's hand, and when the foreman pushed him, Delarca-Reyes pulled out a gun, shooting the foreman's leg.

Gov. Brian Sandoval says he'll support expanding Medicaid eligibility in Nevada as called for under the federal health care law.
Although he originally was opposed to expansion of Medicaid, he will accept federal funds that will add 78,000 Nevadans to its roles. It will save the state 16 million dollars in mental health care programs that would otherwise have to be paid for out of the general fund.
He cited that his decision will help tens of thousands of Nevada's residents. He also said his plan is to reduce taxes for small business to help them pay for health care costs.

We need stress. The body's natural response to stress drives processes that keep you healthy and fit. Modern life, however, often dishes out too much of a good thing.

What I don't get is why my brain can't think about these things during the day with the sunshine and coffee? Can't these thoughts wait till morning when I can sift through them properly?
I've decided that I want to be happy with my body by the time I turn 30, and I'm wondering if I should ever eat again. Ha.
Somewhere inside my head I am trying to remind myself that I need to find a job, put up bookshelves, clean out my closet, actually unpack, resign from the job I love that has recently decided I don't matter enough to pay me, and actually do something good for myself. I've already had all my bad luck. It's time to just find the good and help it grow.
Siiiiigh. Most of all, I need sleep. Maybe tonight I'll have better dreams.

Environmental factors during perinatal life can lead to changes in the mammary gland, making it susceptible to cancer in adulthood. Breastfeeding has a special importance since it takes place at a critical period of growth and development of the newborn. We aimed to analyze if an appropriate lactation protects the offspring against mammary carcinogenesis during adult life and explore the mechanisms involved in the protective effect. One-day-old Sprague-Dawley female rats were randomly distributed in litters of three (L3), eight (L8) or 12 (L12) pups per dam, to induce a differential consumption of breast milk. At 55 days of age, the animals were treated with a single dose of dimethylbenzanthracene to study tumor latency, incidence and progression. Histological, immunohistochemical and Western blot studies were performed. We observed lower incidence and higher latency in L3 compared to the other groups. The mitotic index and expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was significantly augmented in tumors of L12 rats compared to L3 and L8, while the apoptotic index was augmented in tumors of L3 v. L12. Cleaved caspase 8 was significantly higher in tumors from L3 compared to L12. Tumors developed in L3 have a greater number of apoptotic bodies and a greater expression of caspase 8. These results demonstrate that the animals that maintained a higher intake of maternal milk (L3) presented lower incidence and greater tumor latency. Lower consumption of breast milk (L12) would increase tumor mitosis and the expression of PCNA, explaining the higher tumor incidence observed in this group.

Quickly we walked to the temple, hired a panda who gave a complete tour of temple complex. Its well guarded and consists of many temples for Krishna, his principal wives and others. One interesting thing was a pillar which one needs to circumambulate to get wishes granted. It was fun to watch people of all shapes and sizes trying to make through narrow sides of pillar. Camera and phones were not allowed, so we'd soon make an exit to the temple and come out to market.
Market is thriving and full of interesting items to buy. I bought some diyas, animals made out of shells attached to each other. Pakoda, samosa, chai and chatni soon followed. We quickly boarded the boat to head back but were all hungry and tired. It was sunny and hot.

Re: Waiting time
It quite often takes the full 9 months. Don't expect it sooner but it can come sooner and is a nice surprise then. I have personally for my own family members seen it take progressively longer lately.
Re: Waiting time
Yes, it can take even more than 9 months if for example they request you for an interview and there is no time at ambassy only after X months... There are some exceptions always but the norm is around 9 months.
Re: Waiting time
Oh ! Can they make another interview ? I was interviewed at the Embassy the day i proved my identity which was 6 months ago ! But I didn't hear anything ever since , my husband didn't hear anything there as well !

text: Speech & Debate looks suspiciously like the first draft of an afterschool special about conservative sexual hypocrisy, written by a teenage Larry David after a double shot of espresso. Focused on three high school students — all of whom are struggling with sexual or social trauma, all of whom say traumatically clever things in a script that constantly winks at the audience to make sure we're on its side — Speech & Debate misses an essential point about adolescence: Teenagers don't care passionately about sexual issues because they've been traumatized; they care because they're teenagers. Instead of just letting them care, the play reduces its characters to a set of issues to be dealt with, then puts them through a forced therapeutic march enlivened with paint-by-numbers zaniness. There are plenty of laugh lines, great production values, and a hilarious dance routine, but in the end these characters would be much more interesting if they had learned from their trauma instead of just talking about it. No person of conscience can be bored when people, even in fiction, are explaining how they ended up raped and/or molested, but we can recognize lazy character development. To see what Speech & Debate is trying to do, watch Glee.

URGH!!! Are we there yet?
Still waiting for the final ok from the bank. Our bank has said it all looks fine and they've sent it to the head office in Sydney for the final assessment/approval.
On a plus side we have sent the requested contract amendments to the builder and should have the contracts amended and ready to sign ASAP. Then it's building permit application time.
We have been told that we will have action on site within one week of the permit being approved. I don't know how realistic that timeframe is!?

McDonald's Offers Table Reservations and Waiter Service to Introduce the Maestro Burger
Diners Will Be Waited on During Two-Course Meal
Editor's Pick
In Sweden, for the first time ever McDonald's is now allowing consumers to book tables at its restaurants -- and be waited on -- in a campaign to introduce its new Maestro Classic burger.
The fast feeder has partnered with online restaurant reservation service Bookatable to allow customers to start reserving tables from today, for dates from September 25 through October 2 at more than 30 McDonald's restaurants around the country.
During their visit, patrons will dine on a two-course meal consisting of the new gourmet burger as main entree and dessert -- the diner's choice of McFlurry, ice cream or pie, along with coffee or tea.
"We have a very exciting and tasty new premium hamburger coming to our restaurants, the Maestro Classic, so we wanted to give our most loyal customers a unique and memorable experience when they try the Maestro hamburger for the very first time," said McDonald's Sweden Director of Marketing Jeff Jackett in a statment. "They've never had the opportunity to 'book a table' at their favourite restaurant in Sweden. With the new Maestro burger, we thought it was the right time to give them a chance to do so."

The key to proper overall growth is a balanced and healthy diet that your teen takes on a regular basis. Make sure that your teen's diet is rich in essential minerals and vitamins. Ask him to eat a mix of fruits, vegetables and meat to get all the nutrition he needs.

[…] Bessarion later embraced the Catholic faith and in 1455 lost the election to become Pope with eight votes against fifteen from the cardinals. One of the arguments that was used against the election of Bessarion as Pope was that he still had a beard, even though he had converted to Catholicism, and insisted on wearing his Greek habit, which raised doubts on the sincerity of his conversion.
I'm completely new to beard oil. I am searching the internet trying to decide which one to go with. I have a girlfriend and want to make sure to get one she would like. I think I wanna stay away from the woodsy type. I am leaning towards the beard brand cause of great reviews, spiced citrus in particular because I think she would like the citrus and vanilla scent. Have you tried it? I've also seen good reviews on the bay lime one that you say your wife likes best. That looks good and is also 10$ cheaper. Would you recommend these or any others? THANKS!!
Every lumbersexual must equip himself with a sterling beard comb. Besides styling service usage, it can help remove debris and untangle your chin tresses for smoother beard oiling. Baxter's coveted Swiss-made comb has evenly tapered teeth and rounded tips that add comfort to the grooming chore, sorting every stray hair without scrapping the face.
Long story short, it's the same as growing it as an adult. You just don't shave. Put the razor down. Those of you who want a little more detail, it's emotional and physical. Being a teenager is difficult. You're wrapped around hundreds of other people. Even Eric dealt with it in high school, since he was a late bloomer, constantly analyzing himself for facial and body hair. It can be challenging to deal with at first, cause we all grow at different rates and hit puberty at different times. The hormones can take control of your life. They make you think about things that don't make a lot of sense.
Since testosterone occurs naturally in your body, that means there are ways to increase it without supplements. Lifting weights and exercising is a huge factor in that, and we'll get into the best workouts you can do later. Along with working out, you'll want to be getting plenty of carbs, proteins, and the good kind of fats in your body. This ups your energy level, metabolism, and helps with testosterone production. Getting plenty of rest and reducing stress will keep your body healthy and ready to grow a beard as well. So let's dive deeper into all of that!
Be sure to follow a regular brushing or combing regimen for your beard to encourage your beard to grow in a uniform direction to prevent future ingrown hairs. Try something like this Beard Brush and Beard Comb Kit for Men by Repsol Care. It's made with natural materials like boar bristles and real wood, and with the combo kit, you'll be sure to have the right tool at all times.
Beard oil, beard conditioner, beard wax (a.k.a. mustache wax) – it can all get kind of confusing. They're similar but different products, all with the same goal of making your facial hair look incredible.
You can also get a few of these natural vitamins in the form of a supplement as well, as we mentioned above. Your beard is really an extension of yourself. Remember those playdoh things where you made the figures grow hair? It's basically that! The play-doh is your body and beard. If you eat like shit and have an unhealthy diet, then your play-doh will dry out and you'll grow a shitty beard. Make sense? What you eat makes a difference in how your beard grows, so why not take steps to ensure you have the healthiest beard possible. You can find natural beard vitamins out there. They help pick up the slack if your diet is lacking. They have a huge convenience factor. You can create your own mixture of Men's Health vitamins, Biotin, Fish Oil, and whatever else you want, but just picking up a beard vitamin takes all the guesswork out of it.
Hi, Robert! That's a great question. The answer is that you'll continually benefit from using beard oil or beard balm. It helps to think about your hair, including your beard hair, has having a life cycle. Your hair is constantly falling out and being replaced with new hair. When applied properly beard oil will nourish your hair beneath the skin, which will improve it's health as new hair grows in. It will also help keep the current hair healthy and hydrated which means less breakage.
They also stick with what they know when it comes to their Beard Balm's fragrance, which has a terrific cedarwood scent with just a hint of eucalyptus. It's a masculine fragrance that reminds you of the outdoors but is still suitable for more urban surroundings.
Depending on the country and period, facial hair was either prohibited in the army or an integral part of the uniform. For example, the French Foreign Legion's combat engineers are all required to be bearded.
Handmade wooden combs on the other hand is more of a style then a need. They are formed from one solid block of wood or two pieces jointed together, and have their teeth sawed into them, then sanded down to be nice and smooth. They are going to cost more money, and they are going to be a special order item from a local wood worker. Expect to pay $75 and up for quality crafted item such a wood comb. The only place I know that has one always listed is Offerman's Wood Shop. Its called a "Mustache Comb," but I would definitely recommend it for someone with a long beard…also who wouldn't want a product made by Nick Offerman's shop?

The Cedarwood Beard Oil Conditioner is produced by Beau Brummell for Men – a company named after a refined 18th century England gentleman named after George Bryan Brummell, the man credited with inventing the modern men's suit.
If you choose to get rid of your new beard, the easiest way to dispose of it is to use a beard trimmer or other hair clippers. Use the trimmer or clippers to trim away as much hair as possible. Follow that with a regular shave. Be extra careful.
You do not need to wash your beard every day – that'll dry it out! We recommend washing your beard about 2-3 times a week, but you can do it more or less depending on your body chemistry and how active you are. Facial hair has a coarser, unique structure when compared to the rest of your hair, so using a specially designed wash is necessary to keep it healthy and clean, without damaging your hair or skin. Using regular shampoo will dry out your beard and skin – causing it to become brittle and break while your skin flakes.
This 4-pack includes 1/2oz trial-size cans of Clove Citrus, Mint Eucalyptus, Big Thicket, and Night Cap balms.Texas Beard Company Beard Balm is has similar properties and benefits to our all natural…
Great article…I've followed your posts, Good work, I've been growing out my beard for about a month now my upper face cheek hair doesn't grow as my lower jaw and under, Really thick on my jaw and under but barely anything on my upper face, Really feel like growing out jus a very small beard just want it to grow thicker on top, any recommendations on oils?

Hi. Which is the best oil or cream available online for beard growth. I could not find any oil or cream related to facial hair growth online other than few hair nourishment products. I have a beard but its not thick. Also does age has to do anything with the growth of the beard.
The Series 3500 comes with a high-performance battery that some reviewers say provides up to 90 minutes of cordless use on a full charge (a full charge takes one hour). But the trimmer is good for both cordless and corded use. A battery light indicates when the trimmer is charging.
If you haven't, then we suggest you do – Smooth Viking's go-to balm is formulated to keep your beard manageable no matter how long it grows. It provides the proper hydration and strength to each hair follicle from its root to its tip.
Use tapered settings on your trimmer, if possible. On most trimmers, you can use a tapered setting, which will allow you to trim the beard in even strokes, tapering it down to your neck as you go, without having to change the height of the trimmer itself. You can taper the cheeks, the neck and the chin, if you desire, for a nice, clean look.
Do you have facial hair growing in unfortunate places that you don't know how to eliminate or groom (think: nose hair that grows like some kind of possessed black rose vine, down your lip and over your nose)?
One of the toughest things about growing a beard—as well as one of the most common problems—is itchiness. Many guys end up just giving up and shaving it all off because they can't take the itch anymore. Some guys wear their beards year-round, while others only grow them out in the winter. No matter which category you fall into, you're eventually going to have to overcome the issue of dry winter air, which sucks the moisture right out of your skin, causing your beard to itch and skin to flake. Most guys know they need to moisturize the non-bearded part of their faces—especially in wintertime—but many overlook the crucial step of moisturizing your beard and the skin beneath it. Balms are the best when it comes to moisturizing the skin beneath the beard; their high viscosity allows them to slowly sink in and stay there, keeping the skin beneath your beard soft and itch-free all day.
While Wild Willies contains many of the oils commonly found in any beard balm that can call itself a contender for the best beard balm, one ingredient they have that sets them apart from the pack is tea tree oil. Tea tree oil is known less for its moisture and more for its health benefits. It's anti-inflammatory; more than that, it's anti-fungal. Nobody likes to talk about, but there are a lot of pathogens that can show up in even the cleanest of beards belonging to the most hygienic of men. One of those is yeast, a type of fungus. Men get yeast infections too, and no one wants one on their face. Tea tree oil is one of the most potent natural antifungals there is, which means if your itchiness is caused by yeast (whether known or unknown to you), the tea tree oil in Wild Willies can help combat that.
I am growing a beard, the bottom is ok, but the sides are a bit thin. In addition I am allergic to parfum/fragrence and since everything I use is unscented, any scent these days is way too strong for me. What kind of product would you recommend?
However, if you're looking for portability and convenience, then wireless models might be more suited to your preferences and lifestyle. However, if that's your prerogative, be warned – you won't have the same horsepower or the benefits of infinite juice that you get from models that use cords. At the end of the day, this choice is up to you!
Coconut oil is a great product for keeping a beard -and not only, soft and healthy. If you're planning on growing a beard (related article), coconut oil will definitely come in handy. Let me know if you have any questions.
The industry is saturated with lots of different beard products you can select from, and all of them report different purposes and results. But when two beard grooming products have the same effect on hair, customers stumble when knowing which product to pick.
I have a grey, leaning toward white, beard that is dry and goes all over the place. It also has some wave. In the past, I have always kept my beard closely cropped. But in the last couple of months, I have let it grow out.
A beard trimmer is literally a gem for men who wish to explore their look, and maintain an appearance that they could flaunt forever. The best electric beard trimmer is the one which suits your preferences well, different users have different requirements, so depending on what is your basic demand, choose a product accordingly. Below we mention the aspects that you need to take into consideration for the time when you are juggling with the current options available in the market.
The short answer is yes, any man can grow a beard. However, if you're a full-grown adult male who experiences no facial hair growth, you should consult a physician. But with that said, all healthy men—barring genetic conditions or something of that nature—will exhibit beard growth once they've reached adulthood.
The verdict: For the groomist who constantly forgets to charge his electronics, Wahl's strong, durable stainless steel offering has enough battery life — four hours of run time at that — to get you through several shaves without being attached to a power cord. Yet despite carrying a lower MSRP than the competition, its precision factor is proof the trimmer can compete with some of the higher-priced models on the market. The lightweight profile has enough girth to maintain good grip for passing through coarse hair, whereas the smaller cutter gives leeway to attack tight corners. Reviewers claim the blades work remarkably well on both beards and mustaches. Much of the accessories that come bundled with the Lithium Ion aid in providing the trim you need; these include four options: a detail shaver, ear and nose detailer, and T-blade heads. Clip-on trimmer guides supply even more options, for up to 17 different trimmer lengths.
Great article! I've had quite a lot of issues where my face is itching when trying to grow a beard which has put me off it every time. I decided a few months back that I'll grow a beard no matter what and started using beard oils to relieve the itching. I've tried quite a few, but the best so far is Unicuscent Green leaves. A friend recommended it and works fantastic with a lovely smell so I don't need a perfume anymore. They only deliver to UK though
Still, beards remained rare among the Romans throughout the Late Republic and the early Principate. In a general way, in Rome at this time, a long beard was considered a mark of slovenliness and squalor. The censors L. Veturius and P. Licinius compelled M. Livius, who had been banished, on his restoration to the city, to be shaved, and to lay aside his dirty appearance, and then, but not until then, to come into the Senate.[26] The first occasion of shaving was regarded as the beginning of manhood, and the day on which this took place was celebrated as a festival.[27] Usually, this was done when the young Roman assumed the toga virilis. Augustus did it in his twenty-fourth year, Julius Caesar in his twentieth. The hair cut off on such occasions was consecrated to a god. Thus Nero put his into a golden box set with pearls, and dedicated it to Jupiter Capitolinus.[28] The Romans, unlike the Greeks, let their beards grow in time of mourning; so did Augustus for the death of Julius Caesar.[29] Other occasions of mourning on which the beard was allowed to grow were, appearance as a reus, condemnation, or some public calamity. On the other hand, men of the country areas around Rome in the time of Varro seem not to have shaved except when they came to market every eighth day, so that their usual appearance was most likely a short stubble.[30]
…As it's the pregnancy week 22 (five months), when the fetus forms all of its hair follicles. This is when ALL of the ~5 million bodily hair follicles are generated and after this point, we will never generate new ones during the courses of our lives.

North Sea Port wins international prize for best tank storage port during the 2018 Tank Storage Awards in Rotterdam
Liquid bulk makes up one-third of the cargo volume from sea-going vessels at North Sea Port, making it an important stop for petroleum products, bio-diesel, chemicals, liquid fertilisers, fruit juices and gases. The current storage capacity of some 3.9 million m³ enables the port to retain reserves of liquid bulk for both short and long-term storage. In the future, the port expects to further expand this storage capacity to 4.7 million m³.
As a sustainable port, North Sea Port is investing in the production of nearly 1 million tons of bio-fuel (bio-ethanol and bio-diesel) per year.
The Tank Storage Awards
On the evening of Tuesday 20 March, the second edition of the Tank Storage Awards were held in Rotterdam. The Tank Storage Awards recognise companies that – each in their own way – excel in security, innovation or general storage. North Sea Port was nominated in the best tank storage port category and competed for the title against the ports of Ras Tanura (Saudi Arabia), Antwerp (Belgium) and Amsterdam (Netherlands). This marked the first time North Sea Port has received an award as a cross-border fusion port in the presence of its clients.
North Sea Port as the logistical heart of Europe
North Sea Port offers many advantages for handling various types of cargo: its position adjoining the open sea (Vlissingen/Terneuzen), a draught of up to 17 metres, its congestion-free connections to the hinterland and its specialised terminals. Thanks to its central location in the logistical heart of Europe, along with its mix of transport connections to the European hinterland, North Sea Port is a true economic hub. North Sea Port is additionally connected to the Central Europe Pipeline System (CEPS).

Inter-state Water Disputes
Constitutional Provisions
The Sarkaria Commission
It is generally observed that the Tribunals set up for resolving inter-State issues take considerable time to give decision/awards. The matter received attention of Sarkaria Commission. The Sarkaria Commission in its report at Chapter XVII on Inter-State River Water Disputes has recommended that:-
Once an application under Section 3 of the Inter-State River Water Disputes Act (33 of 1956 ) is received from a State, it should be mandatory on the Union Government to constitute a Tribunal within a period not exceeding one year from the date of receipt of the application of any disputant State. The Inter- State River Water Disputes Act may be suitably amended for this purpose.
- The Inter-State Water Disputes Act should be amended to empower the Union Government to appoint a Tribunal, suo-moto, if necessary, when it is satisfied that such a dispute exists in fact.
- There should be a Data Bank and information system at the national level and adequate machinery should be set up for this purpose at the earliest. There should also be a provision in the Inter-State Water Disputes Act that States shall be required to give necessary data for which purpose the Tribunal may be vested with powers of a court.
- The inter-State Water Disputes Act should be amended to ensure that the award of a Tribunal becomes effective within five years from the date of constitution of a Tribunal. If, however, for some reasons, a Tribunal feels that the five years period has to be extended, the Union Government may on a reference made by the Tribunal extend its term.
- The Inter-State Water Disputes Act, 1956 should be amended so that a Tribunal's award has the same force and sanction behind it as an order or decree of the Supreme Court to make a Tribunal's award really binding.
These five recommendations were considered by the erstwhile Sub-Committee of the Inter-State Council. The Sub-Committee accepted four out of five recommendations. The remaining one recommendation against para 17.6.01 of Sarkaria Commission's Report was accepted with a minor modification. The time frame specified for constituting a Tribunal by the Union Govt. was increased from one year to two years. The Inter-State Council in its meeting held on 15.10.96 generally endorsed the recommendations. However, in view of the reservations expressed by some of the Chief Ministers, it was decided that they would convey their reservations to the Inter-State Council Secretariat so that their views could be further considered by the Standing committee of the Inter-State council.
Taking into account the views of the State Governments and that of the Ministry of Water Resources, the Inter-State Council Secretariat prepared a consensus paper on the recommendations of Sarkaria Commission, which was deliberated upon during fifth meeting of the Standing Committee of Inter-State council held on 10.11.97 under the chairmanship of the Union Minister of Home Affairs. The recommendations of the Standing Committee on these five recommendations (at para 17.6.01 to 17.6.05 ) are as under :
Rec.No. Para no. Sarkaria Recommendation of the Standing Commission Report Committee of the Inter State Council 212 17.6.01 Agreed in toto the contents of the recommendation of the Sarkaria Commission 213 17.6.02 This recommendation of the Sarkaria Commission has not been agreed to. 214 17.6.03 Agreed in toto the contents of the recommendation of the Sarkaria Commission. 215 17.6.04 The recommendation of the Standing Committee on this item is as below :
"The Tribunal should give its award within a period of three years from the date of its constitution. However, if for unavoidable reasons the award could not be given within a period of three years, the Union Government may extend the period suitably not exceeding two years. The award should be implemented within two years from the date of notification of the award. If for unavoidable reasons the award could not be implemented within a period of two years the Union Government may extend the period suitably."
216 17.6.05 Agreed in toto the the contents of the recommendations of the Sarkaria Commission.
Based on the recommendations given by the Inter-State Council on Sarkaria Commissions Recommendation a bill for amending the Inter State Water Disputes Act 1956 was introduced in Lok Sabha on 7.3.2001. The Bill was passed in Lok Sabha on 3.8.2001 and Rajya Sabha on 11.3.2002 and received the assent of the President on 28.3.2002.

All in a day's flight
The tarmac seemed incredously bullish as the overladen, late running flight inched its way lazily on a cloudy and extremely groggy day. The flabs of fat that had accumulated all over me wobbled as the whole plane shuddered in anguish as a reply to woes on the pitiful runway of the Chennai International Airport.
Earlier, the fare wars by all the low cost carriers in the nation had peaked in all the airports running them into paradigms of operational ineffeciency.
The extremely sensous airhostesses were continuing their bored recorded monotone, greeting the tired customers who yearned for a seat rather than that red lipstick clad lip curlings. The wait for over an hour to get into the respective gates had made most of the customers grumpy. Add to the woes were the passengers who pooled up to form illicit lines or jump the queues stating lame reasons like boarding calls, wanna pee etc took the patience into the bidding.
The flight was the perfect fit for what was christened as a low cost carrier. The seats were a slim piece of fabric covering a stingy piece of cushion making your butt cryout over the course of the journey. Cost cutting was evident with the intermittent switching off of the aircon and pay-through-your-nose rates for that bottle of water purchased.
Lucky day it was till reaching the airport, hitching a free ride on Olacabs, thanks to their travel partner MakeMyTrip. I thought my luck was running out when I reached the airport when the jam packed winding queues of people started taking its toll on me, who were eagerly waiting to get to the lounge as early as possible for that dose of caffeine. The driver who picked me up was also in a state of non-alcoholic inebriateness which I assumed to due to being woken up at 3. He was swerving the cab unnecessarily and made me thank Heavens when I reached the airport unscathed.
The engines groaned, chugged and came to life as the metal bird hit the tarmac ready to soar. As the power reached maximum, the 200+ people garnered momentum and pushed off the ground. I could feel the pressure differences crushing and elongating the skull during the ascent. As the craft gained the altitude, the flight reminded me of the bumpy rides in the KSRTC. The petite figurines made way hawking the inedible, hilariously priced food stuff which at the spur of the momemt seemed tempting for the sans-tea-empty tummy, but the experience of experiencing it previously made me stay hungry to stay healthy during the much sought after vacation home.
We began descent after being airborne for less than 30 minutes.It was then, I lifted my eyes and the incessantly prodding fingers off the phone to see the white fluffiness of the vanilla dough up in the sky. The turbulence was making typing a theocldmeh (I actually typed tedious) task. As the descent continued, the lush greenery started appearing with the tinge of monsoons adding vividness to palette. I felt the chugging underneath as the landing gear had opened up the wheel trio.
The pale green was adding hues and the colours were more strong now. We were brushing against the windiness of the coconut trees and touched the soul and soil of the God's own country.
Touchdown Kochi. Now to grab my bags and run!!

Our Linguistic Slurs!!
We, Indians, the descendants of the Indus valley civilization whose forerunners have been myriad combinations of Aryans, Afros and Whites, have in them one common element, English.
We have over 1500 languages and over 5000 dialects that reflects on our ethnic variance, we have tried in making the same amount of variance to the universal language.
How much do we degrade the language? It is a paradigm of how much jugaad people like you and me practice in our wonderful nation.
Just as a Brit would buy a pack of chips and biscuits at the petrol pump after filling petrol, the Americans would grab a pack of crisps and cookies at the fuel pump after filling gasoline. Wait! Cookies have got eggs in it.
Fine, she is an eggitarian. She'll have it.
It seems it is in India that we coined this term that refers to the ovo-lacto vegetarians. How nice of us to flex the language according to our wish and will!
We have non-veg for dinner. Not specific at all. Means we could even eat the fluttering flies that accidentally goes on the plate and becomes the palate's appetizer.
The differences what we Indians have brought about in the language is immense.
What if we get to have a dinner date on Saturday with your eggitarian girl friend? With an important match on TV? You ask her to prepone our date to an earlier time so you can accommodate both.
The Americans or Brits never 'prepone' a meeting, but we do. They just schedule it prior to time.
While we play with our words, the language itself is a master of deceit.
The word 'laid' says it all. The hen laid her eggs on a heap of straw stacked as her nest. The guy got laid off from work, went for a swig to forget the misery, met a girl and got laid.
Funny language it is!!
Well, me and my Paagalpanti!!

Bangalore Days!
What's in a movie that makes it worth watching it more than once?
The chemistry that Anjali Menon has made to work out is an act of sheer brilliance. The ensemble cast comprising of young stars Dulquer, Fahad and Nivin with the bubbly presence of Nazriya and an out-of-the-world performance by Parvathy has made extraordinary out of the ordinary.

The Evolution of Life (Mobile Phones, Ahem! & .....)
Our great grandparents would have never thought that at the push of a protuberance on the wall, a storage area would be filled with water. And the very thought of spinning a round (sometimes other shapes too) something, the water would come out of a hollow something-else would have been amusing. The flow being controlled at will and put to stop when wanted would have made them stand in bewilderment.
We are slaves to technology. Loving and living the slavery shall be cursed and put on blamed one day.
Mother, I bow to thee!
Pampered we live, life giving us the best.
But what we take from thy, puts her to rest
Shall we thrive to ignite a mind
Of a passion, thou shall see kind
Off I go, to sleep
Hoping never to weep
For the path we tread
Is I doubt the path we need

The Roadside Melodrama
Engaged in a race that often leaves your life dangling by the edge of a thread is what the roads of Chennai have to offer.
Well, Chennai roads have a lot of lessons to offer. The patience that is upheld when the bikers ram into the teeny weeny gaps between the cars, the self control while ramming the brakes while someone pops into the road from somewhere and the nonchalant face while autowallahs jeer on the face.
Priceless indeed!
The raging mobbing of the traffic comes to a halt at the red signal where hawkers and beggars throng onto the windshield of the car to get their business done.
Beggars with sunken paleness and grief stricken eyes knock on the window glass for some change. As you spare a thought to spare some change, you would see contempt on their faces as the expectation from you rises as you graduate from a bike to a car to a bigger car. If the size of the coin is too small, the curses muttered under the breath would bestow upon you and your 9 generations, sinister afterlives in hell.
Hawkers and peddlers of wares set in their sales pitch. An acceptance means you are poorer by 50 rupees and you now own a thing that is only priced at 20rs even at the biggie store. A denial from your side is surely to set you back atleast by a grand- the hawker's frustration is often blurted out as scratching with something on the metallic surface of the vehicle's body.
Surviving all these would tire you more than your day at office!

The Farewell Trance
I was overwhelmed. I was on the verge of being in tears.
And the same is applicable to the remaining 120 people too.
And you, Pallavas, you did a great job. Joining up as a team, putting in your hard work and dedication to bid adieu. Amidst the work pressure put forth by the professors, you rescheduled your days and nights to give us the space.
As we exit, we are sure, the 2 year course that started off with us as exemplars, will be taken to greater heights.
The retreat at Ideal Beach Resort was worth its weight in gold. The ambience, the programs planned, the menus set, everything deserves an applause.
A dinner would have sufficed, and maybe top it up with some impromptu act that any one could have pulled up- that would have made a decent farewell. But you stepped it up by a giant leap, burning midnight oil and sipping cups of coffees to devise plans, to give us a farewell, befitting the most luckiest seniors.
I have to thank you all, on behalf of the batch for the pomp and splendor you infused in the act of camaraderie.
Ambi and Sudarshan, you guys were awesome as the hosts on stage.
The girl who sang the Rock On song,
I shall call you thee
For I do know thy name is Ridhima
You swept a wave of bliss across the hearts
Kaushal and Siddharth, you two, too put up a great show!!! Timings, man!! Respect!!
The Video team, the coordination team, the 'this' team, the 'that' team, the whole team...
The Farewell video left us spellbound. The hard work behind this deserves mention.
Who else, other than you could think of giving us a souvenir of the most cherished picture of the 2 years, framed and wrapped to cherish the memories!!!
I have no words to say,
You have won a place in the heart to stay
Loved your efforts
Love you all
Enough of being nice,
I shall cast off the garb
And pull a leg of the Mamalla
Or maybe two!!
We taught them to be awesome. They taught us what awesomeness was.
Anyways, Mamallas, here you go!
The winners of the Wall of Fame- the acts that you did on stage were awesome. But what took you there were the acts in the 2 years. Those were more awesome, I should say.
Mr Vikas 'Pole Dance' Sharma, you taught the world what seduction meant. Did you know that you gave the strippers a run for their money??
Srini Mama, you were awesome as always. Do you have pins and needles under your toe? Drenched that little Ambi and danced when not needed.
The roommates actually forgot the whole thing called pole dance. I know you people are rigid as the pole should be, and hence swayed the sh!t out of it (him)
Varun and Nambi, you did set the floor on fire!!
The food needs mention. It was amazing. I remember seeing people seen as excited as a 5 year old in a candy shop, on seeing the well laid-out sumptuous spread.
We had fun. Loads and loads.
Dear Pallavas,
You etched memories of a lifetime.
You carved out a slice of our world as we part
You did everything you could
And gratitude with which we say,
We love you all!!!

Let the Dreams Assume Wings!
The End is the New Beginning
The journey has been a roller coaster ride. 2 years of management education has made us wiser, I believe, if not by the volumes of education tried to shove up the brain, but by the life learnings.
The terms passed by, and we are here. Almost ready to be shown to the gate and to leave.
But now as we turn back into the way that leads us down the memory lane, we would know that, it was just the turn of events that made us hate them. It is just a matter of time that we would understand that how they meant to us.
The midnight munchings and the walk with the chilly wind blowing to send chills up the spines would be missed. The coffees at past one at Bistro and the bland sandwiches from CCD after shouting our larynx out to wake the guy shall be missed. All has been a part and parcel of our life.
We loved to huddle up in someone's room and make plans.
The bike rides to Mayajaal, the shared autos to Mahabalipuram, the beaches, the sun, the lovely chaats and ghee roasts of A2B, the restaurants of the temple town, the life- you shall be remembered.
The crushes, the love, the break ups, the pals and gals- you too shall be missed.
As we gear up for life, we will get to know that the past was heaven.
