Banana Bread must be one of the most popular bakes of recent years. There are countless recipes for this lovely bread, different variations and adaptations. I have been baking my banana bread for a long time and throughout the years I've tried and tested many different recipes. This particular variation is my healthier version with lovely wholemeal flour used to increase fibre and sugar and butter reduced as well. My Wholesome Banana Bread relies on really (and I mean REALLY) ripe bananas for its sweetness and some of the butter have been substituted with natural yogurt without the loss of moisture in a final bake. I say RESULT!
My husband isn't one to eat breakfast first thing in the morning. He needs to be "going" for a while before he can actually face to eat anything. He leaves the house quite early and all the healthy brekkie options go out of the window. Breakfast "on the go" is a must for him most mornings. My Wholesome Banana Bread recipe is perfect as occasional brekkie "on the go" if you want to avoid sugar laden breakfast bars you can buy in the shops. Do I need to add that kids absolutely adore a slice as after school snack?
This loaf freezes really well too so you can get baking and use up all those overripe bananas lurking in your fruit bowl and fill the freezer with slices of this moreish bread! You can also play around with what you add to it. If walnuts are not your thing, simply live them out or substitute with the nuts of your choice. Perhaps a bit of added chocolate wouldn't go amiss – add 75g of milk or dark chocolate chips or handful of sultanas, dried cranberries etc. You get my drift. 🙂
If you are after another lovely bake and like baking with fruit why not try my Summery Easy Strawberry Yogurt Cake It's a perfect teatime treat!

Dental Nurses
Welcome to the Dental Nursing section of Health Education England working across the east of England (HEE EoE) website. Since the implementation of Statutory Registration with the General Dental Council for all DCPS on 31 July 2006, it is essential that Dental Nurses have access to information which is relevant to their needs and thus ensures they are working within the GDC requirements.
Information is presented here which will help you keep up to date with the GDC requirements and help to support you in accessing the education and training you need to embark on the career pathway of a dental nurse and if you are already qualified, there is information that will support you in fulfilling the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements ensuring you maintain your GDC registration.
There are several pathways to dental nurse registration; these all require the student dental nurse to have access to work-based learning in a dental practice. In most cases this is through employment as a student (trainee) dental nurse at a dental practice, alternatively some training providers do arrange work placements with local dental practices. However, this is not available with the majority of training providers in the East of England. Therefore, it is recommended that potential students contact the training provider directly for further information. Qualification and registration in dental nursing cannot be achieved without demonstrating work-based competence, whether the chosen route is the NEBDN National Certificate for Dental Nurses or the Advanced Apprenticeship in Dental Nursing (NVQ route).
HEE EoE has a list of training courses that are currently available within the East of England Region. You can access this by clicking on the appropriate download link to the right.
There are several organisations which can provide further information for Dental Nurses. Some of them are listed on the Information page.
All enquiries relating to JIF funding should be directed to Jenni Saunders;

With the intervention in Yemen, Saudi Arabia's military is trying to kill several birds with one stone. In the near term, it is safeguarding the country from what Riyadh perceives as an immediate military threat posed by advancing pro-Iranian Houthi rebels. In the medium-term, it is asserting its leadership of the Arab world and consolidating its control over what has recently been a tension-ridden Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). In the long term, it is redressing what it sees as a geopolitical imbalance in the Middle East between itself and Iran. In recent years, power has tilted heavily toward Iran, in no small part due to U.S. retrenchment.
The Kingdom is in a good position to kill the first two birds. And if it plays its cards right, it could make progress against the third and, as a result, shore up its status in the region at a time when other traditional powers such as Egypt, Iraq, and Syria are bleeding influence thanks to domestic conflict, political turmoil, and economic implosion. There is no shortage of risk in Saudi Arabia's strategy, and a lot could go wrong. But the new Saudi leadership has decided that the alternative—inaction— carries intolerable costs.
Yemen has been a thorn in the side of Saudi Arabia (and other Arab Gulf countries, including Oman) since the latter was founded in the 1930s. The threats of Marxism, populism, and recently, Islamist extremism with the rise of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula have made Yemen a high Saudi national security risk. Today, Saudi Arabia sees danger in the Shia Houthi rebel takeover of much of Yemen, particularly territory near the Saudi border. Last week, to drive back the Houthis, Saudi Arabia, in coordination with nine other countries (Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, Pakistan, Qatar, Sudan, United Arab Emirates) launched a sustained air campaign and is blockading the Yemeni coast.
Saudi Arabia, which itself warned Washington about the limitations of air power in the fight against

The Forgotten Hero
Never Will We Forget
The Forgotten Hero
When you think of people who make a difference in the world, who comes to mind? Is it the Oprah's? Is it Doctor Phil? Has it ever occurred to you that those difference makers are really no more than sales people who make money by telling desperate souls that the mighty TV personality is the prophet who will set the world free?
I've got nothing against famous people. I'm sure there are personalities who mean well. It's great that they have a stage to do good in a public way. The Chicago Tribune has a daily column called "People You Should Know", and the following is a tiny People You Should Know piece.
I've had the pleasure of watching this woman from a distance since she was born. "Judy the Beauty" was the name grandma gave her. The first girl grandchild. And oh what a grandchild she turned out to be. There are people who have presence, you know what I mean? The presence that says "pay attention, something important is about to happen".
There's a difference between 'presence' and 'it'. My brother has "it". This is the quality that is commonly referred to as people magnet. It's the way you feel when you're courtside at a game seven NBA finals.
My sister has presence. This is the somethingness that makes the room stop and silence itself for the second it takes for the "Presence" to enter it.. Princess Dianna had presence. Jackie O had presence. It's the aspect of a person's nature which screams with a whisper, "Look at me!" It's the attitude which shouts "love just walked through the door.
Ever since we were little kids, my sister Judy was gifted with the ability to bring people together in a party sort of way. There is no mistaking the crackle gaggle laugh that envelops the room when Judy is around. Here's some Judyspeak so you get the idea. "youshuddaheardwhathappenedatworktoday manalivethephoneswerenuts" then she takes a breath. Can you say whirlwind?
It's hard to exactly pinpoint what it is about this lady that explains her essence. She is by far the most ADHD adult I know. She is loud. She is nutty. She goes off on tangents that make a conversation with her closer to a rocket ride than a presidential debate. Want to understand Judy? See if you can count the times a hummingbird flaps its wings before it gets to the next nectar stop.
When we were kids, Judy the Beauty was the best hitter in any softball game we played. 150 foot shots from the outfield were a regular occurrence. With a Clincher softball! Before the advent of aluminum sissy sticks, my sister could hit a 16 inch as far as Shoeless Joe could throw a hardball.
Don't get me wrong. Momma dragging home from work and finding her ballerina missing was a more than once incident. Poni G, the Polish landlady, generally knew where Judy was- sleeping on the feather quilt of a sofa. Using Polish language broadcasts as lullabies. Being soothed by Polish waltzes whispering from the imitation Zenith clear channel on the kitchen table.
June 1965. Mom hasn't gotten off the bus from the union office yet. Being responsible brothers, the boys "lost" their sisterly charge. Kidnapped. Needless to say momma was appreciative of the big brothers who had just earned their PhD's in Babysittingolgy.The neighborhood was scanned. The neighbors were alerted. It would be safe to say we looked around.
Ninety minutes of panic ensued. When no ransom note arrived from the 'outfit', momma peeked behind the horse hair couch in the living room. Can you say "sleeping like a baby?
So how does this relate to "hero"? Fast forward twenty five years. It might have been twenty six, but twenty five is a good Chicago Polish number. The boys married, moved, divorced, remarried, moved, made money, lost jobs, gained status. Typical American lives. Nothing that would ever make 60 Minutes, or warrant a report in the local news rag. The Forgotten hero raised momma.
Momma lived in four room flats her entire life. The only home of her own she ever embraced was the three bedroom bungalo the Forgotten Hero bought her. A brown brick house on a not too busy street in a not too middle class town with not too hoity toity neighbors. Momma wasn't real good at saving for retirement, probably because she never had any money to save. The Forgotten Hero made sure that old' Granny had a comfortable life and all the Fanny Mae chocolate she could ask for. The Forgotten Hero really understood the Gospel verse,"There is no greater love than to give one's life for one's fellow man"
Midnight runs to Walgreens so momma could get out of the house after her hip replacement. Taking a ride in the car with at $4.00 a gallon after a day of hassling with traders on the CBOT was the Hero's lot. Serving as chauffeur, pal and date while momma went to see the people in the old neighborhood was the hero's role. "The boys have families. They're busy" Changing the dressing on a cancerous wound for a dying lady, one bandage at a time. The Forgotten Hero. Dan Webster defines "hero" as "a man of great deeds, distinguished by the ability to do great things."
To Polish Chicagoans, Judy the Beauty did what all good unmarried Polish girls are supposed to do. "Stay home and take care of ma ". The Forgotten Hero performed great deeds in the battle of raising an aging parent. She fought to save a cancer patient who never "expected" but never asked the boys for anything either. She gave her life for someone else. So where's the Medal of Honor?
Don't look for a monument at Arlington National. Don't try to find her in the history books. To Judy the Beauty and all the Forgotten Heroes who do the hard things every day, Thank you.

Every year, a number of unregistered practitioners posing as physicians make headlines and cause public outrage and uproar.
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) takes such actions seriously and actively polices such individuals to ensure that public safety is protected.
Unregistered Practitioners
An "unregistered practitioner" refers to:
- a person who has been practising medicine without a certificate of registration authorizing the person to do so and without being properly delegated to do so by an Ontario-registered doctor; and/or
- a person who has been holding him/herself out as a physician in contravention of the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991or the Medicine Act, 1991.
Since 2014, the CPSO has taken action against five individuals who have all posed as doctors, offering services including: psychotherapy, psychiatry, and cosmetic injections. All these individuals purported to offer health-care services, often telling patients that they were physicians, or referring to themselves as "doctor", while not being registered, or without being properly delegated to provide certain services by a registered doctor.
The CPSO maintains a list, publicly available online, where all such individuals are identified. Other information includes details of their infraction, any past discipline against the individual by any other College, actions taken against them, as well as any limits on how they present themselves to the public or about the services they offer.
Actions Taken Against Unregistered Physicians
The CPSO has the power to take a number of steps against unregistered practitioners, including:
- commencing legal proceedings against non-members, including seeking orders and injunctions;
- launching provincial-offences prosecutions against non-members;
- involving the police where there are public safety concerns.
Past court orders that the CPSO has sought have included:
- orders directing individuals who are not licensed to practice medicine to refrain from performing all "controlled acts" (this includes things like performing diagnostic tests, communicating to a patient about a diagnosis, performing certain procedures, administering some substances);
- orders directing individuals from using the the title "doctor" or "physician" (or any abbreviation of that title), or purporting to be a specialist in the course of providing or offering to provide health care;
- a contempt order where an individual who had previously been ordered to refrain from performing controlled acts continued to do so. In that case, the CPSO asked the court to impose a fine, a term of imprisonment, and to order that the individual post signs in her clinic and run ads in the local newspaper notifying the public of the terms of the original order prohibiting her actions.

Master class with cellist Tanya Tomkins April 21
The distinguished cellist Tanya Tomkins will give an open master class on Saturday, April 21, from 1:00 to 4:45 pm. The class takes place in Parker Hall, Room 408 in Leigh Hall (435 College Street) and is sponsored by the Yale Collection of Musical Instruments.
A member of the faculty of the American Bach Soloists Summer Academy, Tanya Tomkins has also given master classes at Juilliard, the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and San Jose State University.
Tanya Tomkins returned to the United States in 1998 after living in Holland for 14 years, where she discovered that certain music sounds amazing when performed on the historic instruments for which it was composed. This discovery has informed her diverse career as soloist and chamber musician, and is reflected in her virtuoso performances on both baroque and modern cellos.
Hailed as "a cellist with a very special and unusual intensity" by NRC Handelsblad (The Netherlands), Tomkins has also been called "a performer who combines an intense dramatic fire with Apollonian poise" by the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Tanya is the first cellist ever to win the international Bodky Competition for Early Music Soloists. As an active soloist and chamber recitalist, Tanya has performed to critical acclaim at Lincoln Center, the Library of Congress, San Francisco Performances, and the Concertgebouw Kleine Zaal, among many other venues.
Currently a principal cellist for San Francisco's Philharmonia Baroque and Portland Baroque, Tanya has also performed as soloist with both orchestras. Tanya also performs with the American Bach Soloists, Voices of Music, the Oregon Bach Festival, Music in the Vineyards Festival, Olympic Chamber Music Festival, and the Moab Chamber Music Festival. She is a member of the Tomkins-Zivian Duo, the Left Coast Chamber Ensemble, and the Benvenue Fortepiano Trio with violinist Monica Huggett and pianist Eric Zivian. Tanya has fun organizing a series of house concerts in Berkeley and Marin County, California – the Benvenue House Concert Series.
Tanya has collaborated on numerous critically acclaimed recordings, including the Debussy and Ravel String Quartets with the Euridice Quartet (members of the Concertgebouw Orchestra for Vanguard Classics), The Mendelssohn and Schumann Piano Trios on original instruments with the Benvenue Fortepiano Trio (Avie), the Beethoven Cello Sonatas with fortepianist, Eric Zivian (Bridge), and a recording of the complete Bach Suites on Baroque cello for Avie.

It's a hot day in September when I'm making my way up to the Queen of Hearts Tattoos in Lisbon. Since it's located on the steep hills of the Bairo Alto district, my calves are getting a good workout. (Plus I had a bit too much to drink the day before, so let's just say I'm not in tip-top shape to do involuntary mountain climbers in 29°C heat). I had planned to visit Lisbon for our friends' wedding, and my over-enthusiastic self thought "Let's cram an interview or two in this already tight schedule!" Great thinking, Jan. Not so great planning, however.
At 2PM, Rua da Rosa, the epicenter of Lisbon nightlife if you will, is not that crowded at all. The streets wind their way upward, tangling around the heart of Lisbon like a paved cobblestone snake. I go into the shop and ask for Kevin. Kevin Breno. I came across his Instagram simply by searching for tags like #tattoolisbon and was thoroughly impressed by what I saw. (Yeah, I know, kids. Journalism is dead.) His non-conformist realistic style and intense use of silvers and whites caught my eye immediately when I did my prep. But back to the shop: at the counter, I'm told to go all the way to the back. I find Kevin working on a realistic Poseidon armpiece. His presence in the room demands your attention: he's broad-shouldered, wearing a buttoned down lumberjack shirt with black, grey and silver checkers. "Did he dress in his signature colors or is it just me?", I wonder. In the somewhat small arched studio space, he wraps up his client's tattoo for a short break with me. We head down the road to a local coffee shop. "Man, it's way too hot. I can't stand this heat! It was over 40°C in summer!", Kevin says as beads of sweat trickle down his neck. Forty degrees? I look at him incredulously as we take our seats, and we start where it makes most sense: the beginning.
During our talk, it becomes clear pretty soon: Kevin Breno is full of contradictions. In a good way. He's a hard worker, but with a kind soul. He speaks passionately, but he never comes across as someone with an inflated ego. He's talented, yet stresses he's still learning every day. His career in tattooing started almost/only four years ago, and he's already accomplished quite a lot.
"It all started way back. I had been drawing and painting for quite some time. Mostly photorealistic and realistic stuff, the same as what I do now with my tattoos. I always had a passion for the arts, but I was stuck in an office job; I felt 'castrated' by the corporate world. After some time I asked to work part-time: I spent half my time at the office, and the other half learning how to do tattoos. But even then, it was no good. It gave me a… (thinks) 'split personality', you know? A friend of mine, a tattoo artist, kept pushing me to do it full-time. I was now in the phase of really trying tattoos for real…on myself. I have to admit, it wasn't the best possible way to learn the craft: I didn't have an apprenticeship in a shop or someone to teach me 'hands-on'. I just got a machine, sat down, tried it on myself and evaluated everything: how it looked on the skin, the way the tattoo healed, what worked best,… But I still stand by my decision: I'm a lot happier now, doing what I love. I draw and tattoo every day, and to get better, that's what it takes: passion and dedication. You have to be a slave to your passion today so you can be free tomorrow."
Immediately I think to myself "this is SO going to be a quote I'm going to use as a title in this piece!" And there you have it. I continue by asking Kevin about how he interprets his own style.
"Well…(thinks) it's somewhere between realism and photorealism. I like to use whites and silvers because you can make the tattoos look like you can actually grab them off of someone's arm. I like that, the '3D effect'"…"What's also important, is that everyone perceives the same reality differently. I never ever copy anyone's work. Of course you can be inspired by a style or an artist, that's OK. (points at a vase with flowers on our coffee table) Do you see those flowers? I see them in a certain light, in this specific composition. But you, from your point of view, see something different, don't you? But they definitely are the same flowers. We are observing the same reality with a different outcome, and THAT's where art becomes really interesting."
And right then and there, you know you are talking to someone who is as intelligent as he is passionate about his art. But no rest for the interviewer: Kevin continues his story.
"At the moment, I'm further developing my skills in a style that I'm comfortable with. I want to try more color-work later on, but for now I'm focused on this style. I also only take bookings two or three months in advance, because who knows how my style or taste will develop over the next couple of months?"
JANDERLUST FACT: it's a big 'no-no' to simply copy or mimic another artist's work, especially in the tattoo industry. It's almost as bad as eating the last of the French fries in the basket without asking, just to give you an idea.
A quick Facebook search reveals that Kevin doesn't live in Lisbon proper but in Oeiras, some thirty minutes out of town. However: his love for this city is heart-felt.
"I love Lisbon. I've been on guest spots, conventions or just to relax in Iceland, Spain, Germany, Russia,… but nothing matches up to this city. It's very diverse, has a rich art scene and there's something for everyone. You want to do a pub crawl? Check! You want to go to a club? We've got a street full of them! Seriously: everybody wants to be in Lisbon."…"One of my favorite places is a rooftop bar called PARK. I like to have a drink and talk a lot with my friends, just like we're doing now. You have a great view of the sunset up there, it's great. You should go sometime!"
Even though I haven't been myself, fellow wedding travelers did go and can confirm: PARK is legit…And to Kevin: thanks again for giving me all those quotes. Now at least I don't have to come up with witty titles.

S1 says Kanye West has led him to believe that the "Yeezus" follow-up will be a more "feel good" affair.
Producer S1 has worked on Kanye West's last two solo albums, having his production work featured on the songs "Power" and "Guilt Trip." After he revealed yesterday that the latter was originally planned for Watch The Throne (and had a Jay Z verse on it), another interview with the DJ Booth has surfaced in which he gives a clue about what Kanye's Yeezus follow-up will sound like.
When asked if he has any idea what the upcoming project will sound like, S1 said he hasn't been present in the studio with Kanye, but he's sent him some beats and "The tracks he got from me are very feel good, summertime, crazy."
Watch the full interview below.

New arrival and a weekend project
Between rebuilds of TenFourFox 31 trying to find out why the optimized JavaScript shell is slower than the debug shell (!), stuff in the background:
1) Got a G4 Cube (looks like a 450 with the Rage 128) when I was up in Berkeley last week. No power supply. Probably works. Case is almost pristine, just a little dirty and a couple scuffs I can buff out. Found a supply at a decent price on ePay, so that should arrive next week. Until then it has a perch on the BeBox: http://www.floodgap.com/iv/2249
Incidentally, Bay Area nerds: M.A.C. on Shattuck and University has an insane amount of Power Macs and even beige Macs. I counted about 10 iMac G4s, several Yosemite G3s, a number of iMac G3s and even a couple G5s. They have some SE/30s in the window and a couple beige Macs. I don't know if they'll sell the ones in the display case, but they're willing to deal on the ones on the sales floor.
2) Waiting for the Wallstreet G3 to back up its hard disk to the 7300 and then we'll try putting Rhapsody 5.6 on it. The Wally has been sitting around waiting for a project and this sounds like a fun one. The Wally apparently is the best supported laptop in Mac OS X Server 1.2v3, with the best display and colour depth support: http://www.rhapsodyos.org/hardware/lomb … urs_1.html

Re: New arrival and a weekend project
Hap and i were just talking about the G4 cube... They are pretty cool machines.
I hope yours powers right up!, maybe you might have to put a new IDE hard drive in there.
did you find it for a pretty good deal?

Re: New arrival and a weekend project
I got it for $150, which is a little more than I would have liked, generally speaking, but I was able to inspect it and know what I was buying so I consider that worth a price premium. I hate buying from sellers who have a radically different definition of "clean," for example, and the Cube is one Mac where physical appearance really matters. The hard disk was previously removed, but it has the bracket, and I have plenty of PATA drives sitting around. Tiger should run very well on it.

Re: New arrival and a weekend project
Nice! Yeah, being able to inspect the cube prior to purchase is a pretty big deal. Mine is pretty dinged up. The other thing that seems to like to fail on those is the power "button".
Interesting with the wallstreet and Server 1.2. That's the first reason I've heard to get a pre-Pismo G3 laptop.
On the subject of old rhapsody/OSX and the Cube, the Cube ends up being capable of running a lot of OSX versions. I was using it and a beige G3 when for screenshots for a poster of DP1 through 10.9:

Would love to get that poster as a downloadable image!

Re: New arrival and a weekend project
Nice! Where can I get one of those posters??
No idea about the power button, but it looks physically intact, so we'll cross our fingers.
Rhapsody runs pretty well on the Wally. Everything seems supported, though I haven't tried the Wally's Zip drive yet (it has a third-party VST Zip 100 installed). What I might do next is partition the drive for a 9.2.2 portion and then reinstall, since BlueBox doesn't have much in the way of 3D acceleration and I intend to use this as another Quake client.

Re: New arrival and a weekend project
I wish I could afford a set of ink cartridges for my 40" Roland CAMMJET because, given a good enough scan file, I could do knockoffs any (Apple) poster on the QT.
The original Picasso Logo, for instance, would be a piece of cake from even the crappiest of scan files for any ex-sign guy.

Re: New arrival and a weekend project
Here is the .psd I used, I just sent it to fedex/kinkos to print. It should be fine for anything that can print a 24"x36" poster, I think. It's ~90MB, so beware. If you need a different file format, I can convert it too.

Re: New arrival and a weekend project
I had contemplated starting with NeXTStep and working up through OpenStep and Rhapsody, but there's only so much that can reasonably fit on a poster, and DP1 seemed as good a place to start as any. Maybe I'll do an "origins of mac os x" poster at some point.

Re: New arrival and a weekend project
Repartitioned the Wally and now it dual boots 9.2.2 and Rhapsody 5.6. I'm delighted to note that the 9.2.2 Startup Disk control panel does know how to boot from OS X Server, which is good, because the Wally has no battery and its PRAM goes to hell whenever it's unplugged.

Stylists Share The Top 4 Hair Products To Use When You're Over Shampoo
Shampoo once seemed like a harmless friend, foaming up pleasantly in our hair, cleansing while we shouted our favorite Broadway tunes proudly in its face.
In the last few years, however, society's replaced the simple pleasure of washing our hair with feelings of guilt and a need to lie about how often we scrub our scalps.
Among your girlfriends, the competition to see who can go the longest without 'pooing has reached its peak.
Even if you're still using shampoo, you know at least one woman with mermaid-like waves who raves about exclusively using conditioner.
In a world of conflicting reports, understanding if shampoo really is a villain is difficult. Suddenly, your bottle labels proclaim things like "sulfate-free" and "no alcohols" – all without worrying if you understanding why they are (or aren't) important.
To decode the fear of shampoo, Elite Daily asked the experts: lead stylists familiar with a variety of hair types.
While none agreed on the degree of a shampoo-free existence, they did recommend speaking with your personal hair stylist, someone who's an expert on your most important asset: your locks.
The problem, unsurprisingly, is every head of hair different. For moisture-seeking curls, shampoo's drying chemicals can lead to lank, frizzy hair. But if you have thin or fine hair, you might not want to throw away the bottle just yet.
When it comes to shampoo, less certainly is more. Here's how to scout the products to help cut back on your daily rinse.
If you have thin or fine hair, hard-pass on the heavy products.
The sitch: If you have hair that's easily weighed down with oil, stylist Matt Fugate of Sally Hershberger Downtown recommends skipping shampoo on alternate days. Instead of washing, rinsing and repeating, use the time to hit the high notes on your favorite Bey jam instead.
The savior: Dry shampoo... to give your hair lift and hide second- or third-day oils and grease. (We're big fans of Batiste Dry Shampoo in blush.)
If you have tight-knit curls, nix shampoo altogether.
The sitch: Jacquelyn Walent, senior stylist at Devachan Salon, says curly-haired girls should use a cleansing conditioner rather than ever reaching for the shampoo. Instead of frizz and ill-defined waves, you'll soon experience the kind of bouncing curls rarely seen outside of "Brave."
The savior: DevaCurl's Low-Poo, developed especially with curls in mind. It may not lather like the shampoo you've used in the past, but the coconut-based conditioning cleanser ensures your hair stays clean and moisturized at the same time.
Color-treated hair keeps color longer with fewer washes.
The sitch: It's imperative to wait two-to-three days before washing newly-dyed hair, but Bumble and Bumble colorist Zoe Wiepert advises maintaining this habit no matter the week. She tells clients to prioritize conditioner, even using it alone on their ends to rid hair of any product buildup.
The savior: Wiepert stands by Bumble and Bumble's extra-gentle Color Minded Sulfate Free Shampoo and Conditioner, designed to nourish fragile hair, as well as the brand's texturizer-meets-dry shampoo, Prêt-à-powder.

Peanut Butter Meringue Cookies
Despite the limited storage space in our NYC apartment, it's not unusual for there to be several peanut butter varieties in our cabinets. I have a long-standing love of peanut butter that is plainly evident in the recipes on BoB.
Peanut butter cookies certainly aren't anything new, but I just couldn't resist sharing these little guys. They're a bit different than other peanut butter cookies I've previously shared with you.
They are essentially meringues, cookies made from fluffy egg whites. But, add to that peanut butter and a little crispy crunch, and you've got something really great.
You can use any kind of peanut butter you like for these, whether it be traditional creamy peanut butter or a flavored peanut butter. I opted to go with PB Crave Choco Choco for another favorite flavor – chocolate and peanut butter.
Besides all the great peanut butter flavor, these cookies have a wonderful crunch supplied by crispy rice cereal. And, if you can bear to wait, these cookies are even better the day after they're baked.
Scroll past the recipe for a great giveaway from PB Crave!
Peanut Butter Meringue Cookies
Yield: about 30 cookies
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup peanut butter flavored with chocolate*
- 2 cups crisp rice cereal
- honey-roasted peanuts, for garnish
- Preheat oven to 300°. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
- Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt until soft peaks form.
- Add sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in peanut butter and then the cereal.
- Drop cookies by rounded teaspoonfuls onto prepared pans. Sprinkle with peanuts.
- Bake 10 minutes. Then, turn off the oven and leave cookies in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
*Any variety of peanut butter is fine, but I especially love these with that extra chocolate flavor.
Recipe slightly adapted from Kraft.

Personal computer Programmer, Certificate
My buddy decided to get his degree in laptop or computer programming which would take only a couple of years to attain. This is the degree of selection for many students organizing to come to be pc programmers. Eclipse , a application framework employed as an IDE for Java, C++, PHP, Python, and a few other languages. Even though they might operate as component of a team for big projects, most jobs are independent. Having said that, there ordinarily aren't actual personal computer programming degrees available previous the associate degree level. It also introduces students to Java, a versatile and broadly employed programming language.
Students who are interested in programming can normally commence with an associate degree, exactly where they will understand basic programming abilities that underpin a degree at any level. They routinely test code by searching for errors — sections of code that the laptop does not fully grasp — and debugging programs. These elements come together in the scientific exploration of the role of programming in subsequent generation computing environments.
Considering the fact that virtually all industries call for application services, jobs for computer programmers should boost at a decent clip. Computer programming relies on logic, so students will be anticipated to develop both their math and issue-solving capabilities in concert. Whilst working toward a bachelor's degree, students will get a sense of what aspect of pc programming most appeals to them. As with a bachelor's degree, there is no specific computer system programming degree at the master's level.
On a shorter term, the quantity and good quality of obtainable computer application will enhance drastically, as the imagination and labor of millions is applied to the problem. Such abilities rely on gaining experience in basic programming languages, so this degree can prepare students for a career as a laptop programmer or a software engineer. In addition to expertise of a number of programming languages, laptop or computer programmers have to be detail-oriented.
An algorithm is a list of properly-defined instructions for completing a task, and realizing several languages indicates obtaining the ability to list the laptop or computer instructions in many diverse approaches. Imperative and object-oriented languages tend to be utilised in the mainstream, whereas functional and declarative languages tend to be made use of in academic settings.
Especially, students turn out to be proficient in discrete math—a branch of mathematics that offers with objects that have distinct values—as properly as laptop organization and architecture, algorithms, programming and computer software design and style. With a 4-year on-line laptop science degree very easily costing $20,000 or far more depending on the college, financial help can be a lifesaver. Computer programming is one particular portion of a considerably larger discipline known as computer software engineering , which includes many distinctive aspects of generating software program which includes design, construction and excellent handle.
Bioinformatics And Computational Biology
At Cornell, undergraduate computational biology majors are encouraged to get broad, basic expertise applicable to an evolving field whose study demands adjust year to year. This Ivy League school's computational biology major delivers four tracks: computational genomics, biological sciences, molecular modeling and applied mathematics and statistical genomics. The big in Computational Biology combines mathematics and informatics with the fundamentals of molecular biology. Soon after completing a bachelor's degree, new biomedical engineers then look for jobs in medical gear and supplies manufacturing, scientific investigation, pharmaceutical manufacturing, or they may possibly function in sports hospitals.
Nevertheless, there are at the moment extra Ph.D.s developed than analysis jobs obtainable, so soon after years in school, numerous bioinformatics-oriented Ph.D.s have a tendency to end up in Evaluation or Engineering jobs. The concentration offers students with the opportunity to specialize in a distinct biological discipline or, in the case of the Basic Biology concentration, take upper-level courses from numerous areas in biology.
We may perhaps also take into consideration a UK two:1 honours degree, or its international equivalent, in engineering, linguistics, mathematics, philosophy, physics or psychology. Computational biology spans a wide variety of fields inside biology, including genomics/genetics, biophysics, cell biology, biochemistry, and evolution. To acquire a faculty position at a university, a Ph.D. is advised, even though a master's degree is usually adequate to teach at a two-year college. The terms computational biology and bioinformatics are generally made use of interchangeably.
In a master's degree plan you will take certain basic classes as nicely as focus on a certain area, like the human genome or molecular experimentation. Quite a few BSCB faculty members belong to these graduate fields as nicely as to Computational Biology. Proof of the achievement of 180 CP is expected for the award of a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a Key in Molecular Biology, Significant in Animal and Plant Sciences or Main in Integrative Biology.
As with research jobs under other employers, the expected level of education for this field is normally a graduate degree in computational biology or associated field such as bioinformatics, though a bachelor's degree could suffice for some positions. A double big combining 6-7 with other bachelors applications may possibly be proper for some students' interests.

Educational Analysis
As a student, teacher, or administrator, take into consideration how lots of times you have heard, evidence-based practice" or according to the analysis." It appears that every new concept in education is research-primarily based, but what does that definitely imply? Prairie Journal of Educational Study PJER is a journal produced by and for Kansas State University's College of Education students. We propose going back and taking a tough look at all of your person articles and creating confident that they are up to the existing standards and have updated, relevant data on the topic promised by the title. You will develop a variety of study abilities and will engage closely with present study projects in Education.
Investigation can add to what we know about how people today discover and what we can do assist facilitate the mastering procedure. You will be supported in building the information, capabilities and understanding of research by expert researchers in Education and the Social Sciences. The master of education (.) in Quantitative Solutions (QM) is designed to supply students with powerful quantitative methods coaching for applied investigation settings.
If you choose to stand alone and publish articles though maintaining your distance from other Hubbers, that's completely welcome! This form of investigation style is superior for any queries you can feel of, particularly those that cannot be answer simply with numbers alone. As I've previously described , Wikipedia has a issue with topics that fall outdoors a tightly constrained, naive view of reality. I would encourage students who are considering of going into investigation to undertake this course. Educational Investigation utilizes structured abstracts in all articles and brief reports.
Most likely, but it would take some work due to the fact the published reports would have to be cautiously scrubbed clean so the analysts would not know what the topic of their analysis is all about. Enhanced understanding and development of digital study fluencies will be emphasized, enabling students to conduct digital study to contribute to new know-how in qualified or academic contexts. However, the journal's aim and scope is to make certain it publishes high good quality investigation that could potentially inform study, policy and practice beyond the context of that in which the original operate is undertaken.
It enables them to assume up an fascinating research notion, to carry out a literature evaluation, determine appropriate theoretical frameworks, refine the research query and then function out which solutions to use. Employability is an vital concentrate of this course, with the chance for a study placement offered to all MRes students. The course has been recognised by the Financial and Social Study Council as meeting its needs for postgraduate analysis coaching, and it now types element of the recognised pathway in educational analysis for the Scottish Graduate School in the Social Sciences.
As quickly as they are published, articles are submitted to our High quality Assessment Procedure , which combines both human and algorithmic analyses to ascertain irrespective of whether or not a piece will be Featured on the web site. Examples of current Specific Issues published in the journal illustrate the breadth of subjects that have be included in the journal: 'Representing Diversity', 'Cross Curricularity', and 'Classroom Primarily based Talk'. Government programs in Russia, Japan, India and China have also funded research into EM-associated phenomena.

Summer-camp neurosis
I happened by a gaggle of kids today who appeared entirely mad — jumping up and down in place, hitting each other, hitting themselves, whooping and screeching pointlessly, blurting out nonsense. One kid, upon seeing me, slurred and swore at me. I thought it might be a day-care of sorts for children with mental disorders and asked one of their keepers what was going on. Nope. They were normal kids. This was summer camp.
It reminded me of this great Paul Graham essay where he says that most teenagers are so crazy because they have nothing real to do.
I'm suspicious of this theory that thirteen-year-old kids are intrinsically messed up. If it's physiological, it should be universal. Are Mongol nomads all nihilists at thirteen? I've read a lot of history, and I have not seen a single reference to this supposedly universal fact before the twentieth century… Teenage apprentices in the Renaissance were working dogs. Teenagers now are neurotic lapdogs. Their craziness is the craziness of the idle.
Then I got to thinking about some kids I'd met several months ago while studying agriculture in Wisconsin. They lived on a farm and had real work to do. They helped build water catchments and could espouse the benefits of various designs. They helped shear sheep. The kids had a business separate from their parent's too: they raised fish in an aquaponics setup they'd built and sold them to restaurants and grocery stores. The one I talked to the most, I think he was twelve, was also learning web design.
I called him "kid" but later felt like apologizing. Sure I'd been around longer than him but he seemed about as mature as me.

Boehner not promising House vote to raise debt ceiling
House Speaker John Boehner said Monday he's not promising a House vote to raise the debt ceiling, another sign that the ongoing struggle between Democrats and Republicans over the issue has a ways to go before resolution.
In a Monday night interview with Politico, Boehner said it was not his "goal" to hold up a vote on the matter, but that "there's a chance it could not happen" if the president fails to address GOP budget concerns.
"If the president doesn't get serious about the need to address our fiscal nightmare, yeah, there's a chance it [the debt limit vote] could not happen," Boehner told POLITICO. "But that's not my goal."
As the U.S. nears its $14.3 trillion debt limit, which it is expected to do by the end of May, Republicans appear increasingly staunch in their threats to withhold a vote on the issue in the absence of major concessions from Democrats - particularly in regard to a plan for addressing the nation's deficit problem - even as White House officials warn that failing to do so would result in widespread economic catastrophe.
In an interview with ABC on Tuesday, the Ohio Republican said that he thought it was "responsible" to increase the debt limit, but that he wanted to see trillions of dollars worth of spending cuts, as well as reforms to entitlement programs, before approving one.
"I believe it's responsible to increase the debt limit," he said. "But... it's time to cut up the credit cards. And that means that we've got to have real cuts in spending. And we're not gonna be talking about billions here. We're gonna be talking about trillions."
"We need to cut spending," Boehner added, when asked about his specific demands. "We've gotta control discretionary spending. About one third of the budget, we've been fighting about all year long. But we also have to do something about the entitlement programs. If we don't do anything, they're not gonna exist because they're not gonna be affordable. And the greatest danger we have in America today is doing nothing, which is basically what the president's proposing."
The speaker has shown some flexibility, however, on President Obama's calls to eliminate $4 billion dollars worth of tax incentives to oil and gas companies in order to instead invest in green and renewable energy projects.
Noting that while he thought the president was "not doing anything to make the situation better" regarding sky-high gas prices, Boehner told ABC News that oil and gas companies are "gonna pay their fair share in taxes - and they should."
"Listen, everybody ... wants to go after the oil companies. And frankly, they've got some part of this to blame," Boehner said in the interview. "I don't think the big oil companies need to have the oil depletion allowances. But for small, independent oil and gas producers, if they didn't have this there'd be even less exploration in America then there is today."
"I want see the facts. I don't want hear a bunch of political rhetoric," he added.
Still, Boehner argued that the president was disproportionately focused on cultivating alternative sources of energy, and urged Democrats to increase oil exploration efforts within the U.S.
"The fact is is there's a limited supply of oil around the world," Boehner said. "There's unrest in the Middle East driving up the price. They happen to hold the assets. They're the lucky ones at this point. But they oughta do everything they can to help us produce oil and gas at a lower price."
"[Obama's] not doing anything to make the situation better," he continued. "And the fact is is that we need all of the above. We need green energy, but we also need a transition to green energy. That means more oil and gas exploration. And it oughta happen sooner rather than later."

How to Stay Cool on The Job
This post originally appeared at Tradehounds.com
One of the things we all love about working in the trades is the fact our office isn't located in an overly air-conditioned building, in a minuscule cubicle, staring at a computer screen while Bob from finance tells about how his kid is going to be the next Tom Brady.
What we love is being outside.
However, while it is great not being confined to the prison cells of the white collar community, being outside does sometime have its downsides.
One of them is we are constantly exposed to the elements, whether it be extreme heat or chilling colds.
With the first day of summer now behind us, we've already started shedding those extra layers, thermals and flannels and replacing them with something that won't make us feel as though we've just walked through the Sahara desert.
We took to our great Facebook community to see some of the great tips for staying cool on the job site.
Start from the bottom up (quite literally). There is nothing more uncomfortable than wet underwear. It's not nice to think about and it's even worse to talk about. Keeping everything dry and comfortable is key to keeping yourself productive on a hot day (as well as avoiding the need for huge amounts of baby powder).
Our recommendation? Try finding a pair of microfiber underwear which will draw away the moisture and keep you drier than set concrete.
These ones by Hanes should do the trick, and you can grab a whole pack right here.
To wear shorts, or not to wear shorts: that is the question.
Depending on the site you work on, the type of work you do, and your employer's preference, wearing shorts on site may not always be an option. This can be particularly harrowing on a hot day. Regardless of which you choose, you're going to make sure you choose something which is both light and durable to get you through the summer.
These double-fronted work pants from Carhartt come highly recommended by fellow construction workers as their preferred option for the summer months.
Similar to your pants, you're going to want something that both is functional, durable and draws the sweat away from your body. While many of you suggested a short-sleeve option, there were a few advocates for a longer sleeved option stating that it provided better protection from the sun.
The main advice: stay away from cotton t-shirts and definitely stay away from the old Under Armor shirt, especially if you're working around sparks.
Sun Protection:
You'll always have your hardhat for basic protection, but that's not going to cut it in a long day out in the sun. If you can get away with not wearing your hardhat for a bit, a big old fashion straw hat will be your best friend. It's lightweight while also providing you with ample protection from the sun.
Bathing in sunscreen is not the best option, but a little bit of this spray on version will go a long way from stopping you looking like a lobster.
Also, in the words of the wise men of the Wu-Tang Clan, don't forget to 'protect ya neck'. Cover up with a bandana or a cloth tucked into your hardhat. If you're really smart, you'll wet it first for additional cooling.
Other Tips:
It's key to stay hydrated on the job. While we'd love for that hydration to come in the form of ice coffee or even a beer, nothing does it better than good old fashioned H20.
If you find yourself getting extra hot, our friend Dave from Facebook recommends dumping your hands in a bucket of ice water to really get the cool circulating throughout your body.
Summer is a great time to pick-up some extra work, but whatever you find yourself doing, make sure you take care out there on those hot days!

As I said in my blog here at ThriftyFun (Pam's Pennypinching with Style), I have finished a raw pine wooden book shelf using just multiple coats of - BABY OIL! You just apply the oil until the wood won't absorb anymore. Voila, an oil finish, using less than a 1/4 of a bottle of baby oil (which is also non-toxic). No fumes and you can just apply it with your bare hands and a cloth.
The end result is a matte rather than shiny finish. If you like, you can apply furniture polish over it to give it a bit more shine. Pine starts off very light, and does darken a bit with oiling. I also oiled an unfinished oak cabinet I was given a few years ago and the finish is still fine. You can also use this as furniture polish on your other wood furniture, and if there are nicks in the wood, the baby oil will darken them to look distressed instead of damaged (and then you can polish).
Remember all wooden furniture needs to be "fed" with some sort of oil to keep up its sheen. That is definitely true for an inexpensive wood like pine.

Please! It is not true that wood needs to be fed with oil. You can ruin some pieces that way. My grandfather was a furniture maker and his work is now collectable. He always said that good furniture needs wax, not oil. In the past people always waxed their furniture with beeswax, then polished it to make it shine. Oil will eventually absorb into the wood and make it swell. The exception is tung oil which should only be used on unfinished wood.
Your grandfather was a smart man. Thanks for the heads up.
With accolades to your wonderful grandfather, who was kind enough to share his expertise with us, I'll WAX all my valuable (sentimental & otherwise) wood!
That being acknowledged, I do have a pine kitchen nook table that gobbles up oil --- and Baby Oil is so reminiscent of happier days -- elementary school oil painting; it smells so nice, and hey --- softens hands!
Admittedly this table, although not pressed wood, has little $$$ value, but sopping it with Baby Oil allows me to spend the necessary $$$ and time on the real thing.
A little baby oil, olive oil and even motor oil is not going to hurt your furniture. If you crack all your wood waxes contain oil. Just don't go crazy. Just oil the wood enough to take.

Thomas Clarkson, was described by poet Samuel Coleridge as a "moral steam engine". Nobody worked harder, took more personal risk or invested more of their life into abolishing slavery than Thomas Clarkson.
Thomas Clarkson's involvement with the movement to abolish the Slave Trade, and then slavery itself, began in 1785, when he entered in and won first prize for a Latin essay competition, entitled 'Is it lawful to make slaves of others against their wills?' The research for his essay opened his eyes to the nature of the Slave Trade and he was horrified at the way enslaved Africans were treated.
Hear an extract from the Essay
Hear an extract from his diary about the writing of the Essay
Returning on horseback to London after reading his prize essay in the Senate House at Cambridge University, Clarkson could not stop thinking about slavery. Upset and angry, he paused at Wadesmill, near Ware in Hertfordshire, and decided "it was time some person should see these calamities to their end".
Hear an extract from his diary about this resolution
In London Clarkson met other people, particularly the Quakers, who wanted to stop the Slave Trade. His essay, published by Quaker publishers in 1786, was read by many people and Clarkson became well-known. In May 1787, Clarkson and 11 other men set up the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade and persuaded William Wilberforce, MP for Hull, to speak for them in Parliament. As a result, a Parliamentary investigation into the slave trade was set up. With his brilliant speeches in the House of Commons, it was Wilberforce who came to be most associated with the campaign for the abolition of slavery, but it was Clarkson who provided him with a continuous supply of evidence for the speeches.
His first task was to get as much evidence as possible, to prove how badly the slaves were treated. During his life, he was to travel 35,000 miles around Britain, observing, finding witnesses, interviewing, making notes and assembling evidence about the evils of the Slave Trade. He went to the major slave trade ports of Bristol, Liverpool and Plymouth in 1787 and 1788, realising as he did so that his task was not only enormous but also dangerous. In Liverpool he had a lucky escape when he was attacked by a gang of sailors who'd been paid to kill him. In Manchester he gave a powerful speech, using many examples from his research to show how cruel the Slave Trade was. In France, in 1789, he tried to persuade the new French government to abolish the trade and he received more threats and abuse.
Despite the growing support around the country for the abolition cause, the first Bill introduced in 1791 was heavily defeated. Clarkson continued his travels, both collecting evidence and speaking out in public meetings, encouraging the setting up of local abolition groups and the boycotting of West Indian grown sugar. But the constant travelling, long hours and another defeat in Parliament, in 1792, exhausted Clarkson and he withdrew from the fight, married Catherine Buck from Bury St Edmunds in 1796 and moved to the Lake District where he took up farming.
In 1803, Clarkson, Catherine and their son, Tom, moved back to Bury St Edmunds and, the following year, he again became active in the anti-slavery campaign. In 1807, the Slave Trade was finally abolished in the British Empire, although slavery was still legal and slaves were not freed. For the rest of his life, Thomas Clarkson continued to campaign against slavery. He travelled to France in 1814 and 1815 to persuade the French to abolish the trade and enlisted the support of Tsar Alexander 1, ruler of Russia, for abolition. He began to write to Henri Christophe, the ruler of the newly independent Haiti, following the successful resistance movement led by Toussaint L'Ouverture, which defeated French and British forces.
In 1816, Clarkson and Catherine moved into Playford Hall near Ipswich where he lived until his death in 1846. Henri Christophe's widow, Marie-Louise, and daughters visited him at Playford in 1821-22.
In 1823, a new group was formed, supported by Clarkson and Wilberforce, that aimed to abolish slavery. Clarkson, aged 63, went on another national tour, covering 10,000 miles, in order to raise support for the cause. Finally, in 1833, the Slavery Abolition Act was passed, which gave all slaves in the British Empire their freedom. £20,000,000 compensation was paid to the slave owners (the amount today would be about £1220 million) and existing slaves had to work for their former masters for six years, as 'apprentices' with no pay.
Only children under six were given true freedom. Clarkson and his wife Catherine continued their work against slavery, becoming involved in the American anti-slavery movement. Leading American abolitionists, William Lloyd Garrison and Frederick Douglass, visited Clarkson at Playford Hall in 1833. Constant pressure on the British Parliament led to the ending of the apprenticeship system in 1838. In the same year, Wilberforce's sons published a biography of their father which downplayed Clarkson's contribution to the campaign to abolish slavery. Clarkson was upset and was forced to defend his reputation.
In June 1840, the 'British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society' held a general convention in London. Clarkson was voted President of the convention and accepted a standing tribute from 5000 delegates and observers from Britain, the United States, Canada, France, the West Indies, Switzerland and Spain. Clarkson was treated as a major celebrity. He continued to write letters and pamphlets and address public meetings locally, until his death at Playford Hall in 1846.
