Hiring Manager's Name
842 Company Address
Los Angeles, California, 90028
Dear [Hiring Manager's Name],
My name is Amber, and I saw your job posting on Indeed.com last weekend. I've been working as a makeup artist for over 5 years, and it's something I'm very passionate about. Your production company is extremely well known in the entertainment industry for its polished costume and set designs, and I would be thrilled to contribute my expertise in theatrical and special effects makeup toward its future success.
One of the most important aspects of being a successful makeup artist is the ability to work accurately and in a timely manner. Throughout my time in the entertainment industry, I've never missed a single deadline or been responsible for a delay in production. My professional history is spotless, characterized by efficiency and good communication. I relish a challenge, and enjoy the pressure that comes with working in a fast-paced production studio.
Amidst the seemingly universal shift away from practical effects in the entertainment industry, it is refreshing to see that [TARGET COMPANY] has maintained its resolve and stuck with them. My experience and proficiency with special effects and prosthetic makeup would make me a great fit at [TARGET COMPANY], and help bring practical effects back into prominence.
[TARGET COMPANY] has been making waves in the entertainment industry for years, and has a great reputation as an employer. I believe that the company's drive to produce unique, original content is what sets it apart, and I would love to contribute to this positive public image. I would be thrilled to come in for an interview if possible. You can reach me anytime at [EMAIL] or [PHONE]. Thanks for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you.

3. 5 Industry-Specific Writing Tips
While all cover letters should follow the same basic format, it goes without saying that for different jobs, the emphasis and focus should be different. Below, we outline 5 things you can do to tailor yours for success as a makeup artist.
1. Specify the industry you specialize in
Makeup artist positions can range from freelance work with individuals to movie sets at big production studios – and everything in between. It is important you specify which type of work you have done, and which type you are looking for. You should also emphasize only related work experience in your cover letter.
2. Research your target company
Put in a little time and research the company you are applying to. If the company is known for anything, has a good reputation, or excels at anything, mention it in your cover letter. Also suggest how you could contribute to that success in some way. Notice how Amber appears to have done a lot of research on the hiring company and uses it to her advantage:
The hiring manager will be impressed that you've done your homework, and you will leave him or her with a great impression of you as a result.
Go the extra mile by finding out where the hiring company is heading, and why, given the current state of the industry. You will earn points by identifying this and explaining how you will help them achieve any goals you think they may have.
3. Highlight special skills
As a makeup artist, it will be assumed that you have basic skills with makeup and cosmetics. One thing that can really set you apart, however, is the inclusion of some additional, special skills.
In our sample, Amber emphasizes her proficiency with prosthetic and special effects makeup. She is applying for a position at a production studio that encourages the use of practical effects, so it makes sense for her to emphasize these skills. If you specialize in wedding photos makeup, mention it – as long as it's relevant to the position you are applying for.
4. Use phrases from the job posting
Most job postings in this industry will list the key responsibilities that makeup artists will be expected to perform if they are hired. This is incredibly useful information as an applicant, as you can use it to tailor your cover letter. Pull words and phrases from the job posting and include them. The benefits are two-fold:
I. Seeing these words and phrases on your application will strike a chord with the hiring manager. He or she will recognize them and begin to think that you are capable and qualified.
II. Applicant tracking software (ATS) identifies keywords and phrases in every document to automatically determine whether the applicant is a good fit for the company. By using words from the job posting, you will increase your chances of being earmarked as a qualified candidate and being brought in for an interview. Read more about Applicant Tracking Software in our how to write a cover letter guide.
Have someone else read your cover letter before you submit. This will give you a better indication of its readability.
5. Focus on consistency
Before you have a chance to interview, your resume and cover letter are probably the only pieces of information the hiring company will have about you (unless you include a portfolio). These documents will paint a picture of you, and you want it to be a good one. Outside of writing great individual documents, it is important that they dovetail with each other.
You can achieve this by pulling out some of the specific skills mentioned in your resume for use in your cover letter. You can also take some of the bullets you want to highlight from your professional history and work them in. Doing so will provide a strong, consistent impression of you as an applicant and strengthen your overall application. Look how Amber emphasizes some skills she also specifically mentions in her resume:
That's it! You should be ready to get started on your own, but if you'd prefer a different look, check out our library of professional cover letter templates.
And if you're pressed for time, try our quick and easy cover letter builder. Either way, we're sure you'll be on your way to your dream job in no time. Good luck!

Local Amateur Gymnast Scott Tucker opens new gym for older folks interested in gymnastics and sits down to talk with Fitness Life Stories.
Tampa, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/06/2014 -- An article recently published on Fitness Life Stories announces an adult-oriented gymnastics program from coach Scott Tucker.
Fitness Life Stories is very excited to get a sit down with Scott Tucker to talk about his brand new gym designed specifically for adults interested in learning gymnastics.
"People are constantly writing in and emailing asking about which gyms are worth joining and what to look for when choosing one. We are adding Scott Tucker's gym to that short list that we are 100 percent behind," says Tom Watkins, one of the site designers at Fitness Life Stories.
"I have been working with gymnasts of all ages for the past 13 years of my life and have finally got around to having the time to design the adult program I wanted," says Scott Tucker. "Being an amateur gymnast doesn't leave a lot of time on your hands, so I'm really happy to get this news our there to the people that are interested. Fitness Life Stories contacted me about a feature article and after looking over their site for a bit, I realized it was the perfect outlet."
Tucker's gym, called 'The Old Beginner', proves to be one of the few in the world that caters almost exclusively to adults.
Scott Tucker continues, "Of course we will have classes for all ages, but our focus is on adults as that is where we are seeing the most interest and the least accommodation."
"When we first contacted Scott about doing a feature on the site, he said he would get back to us which kinda burst our bubble a little bit. But when he called back the next day he was more than reassured that this was the right site for him," Watkins said happily.
Scott Tucker's gym, 'The Old Beginner', is scheduled to open on the first day of Summer 2014, open to all with a love of gymnastics and fitness.

BINAGHI, María Julieta y LOPEZ, Laura Beatriz. Detection of egg allergens in dried pasta using elisa method. Diaeta [online]. 2012, vol.30, n.139. ISSN 1852-7337.
As the mandatory declaration of allergens will be soon included in the Argentine Food Code (article 235, section seven), it is necessary to implement control methodologies to detect the possible existence of allergens in commercial products. The presence of egg allergens in pasta and in products with common wheat flour and /or durum wheat semolina is possible as a result of cross contamination. The objective of this work was to evaluate, using ELISA method, the possible contamination with egg proteins in products made with common wheat flour and /or durum wheat semolina provided by a manufacturer to verify a possible contamination with egg proteins and to analyse commercial products with precautionary labels. Nineteen products made with common wheat flour and /or durum wheat semolina provided by a manufacturer and nine commercial products (dry pasta) were analysed. The egg allergen was analyzed using the r-biopharm kit - ELISA. The samples were analysed in duplicates following the kit protocol. Among the samples provided by manufacturers there were products produced in line with the production of pasta with egg, with values below the quantification limit of the kit; products produced with a low percentage of milled products that could be made with egg, in which very low quantities of egg allergens were found (lower than 5 ppm), and products produced with a high percentage of milled products that could be made with egg and in which higher concentrations were obtained (higher than 5 ppm; whole dried egg). Five of the commercial samples presented concentrations that were below or similar to the quantification limit while in the other four concentrations between 5 and 12 ppm of whole dried egg were obtained using the r-biopharm kit. Following the results obtained, the ELISA method allowed the detection of egg allergens in several samples provided by the industry as well as in some commercial samples with precautionary labels. For proper labelling of these products it would be necessary to count on threshold limit values (TLV) established by the National Health Authority.

Time to Step Up the Bear Patrol (or Black Bears in Yellowstone)
Well, I did not see a grizzly in Yellowstone. Which may be a good thing, since it seems like a lot of those involved in fatal bear attacks (mostly from grizzlies lately) in the park have been from Michigan. (Yeah, I'm in Iowa not but I AM NOT an Iowan!) We did see a black bear though. To be more specific a black bear cub.
We were driving along the north loop and went on the terrace loop (this is closed in the winter and don't even think of taking an RV on it, way too narrow/rugged). We came around a corner near a steep cliff that rose to the right and saw a line of cars stopped. If you haven't been to Yellowstone one of the easiest ways to see animals is to see where a car is stopped (or multiple cars), go stand next to all the people with cameras and ask what they're looking at. (Or you can go in the off-season and do all the hard work yourself). If you like to mess with people stop your car, get out, and jump around excitedly pointing at nothing. See how many people will stop (probably quite a few).
Anyway, we started walking toward a woman with a camera. I asked what she was looking at, assuming it was a mountain goat given the terrain. She calmly said "Oh, a bear. Right there." She then pointed over my shoulder to a black bear cub less than 30 feet away from me. My first thought was "Oh shit. That thing is close. And it's not grown, momma bear is close and probably pissed." The other members of my car came up as I was walking back to the car, hurriedly. While still walking, quickly, I told them about the bear. We all agreed he car was the safest location.
Now, as we were walking back to the car (it wasn't very far, maybe 50 feet away) 3 kids come running past us, a worn-out dad not far behind. My husband was kind enough to tell him "Hey, there's a bear right there." He looked confused, then he focused on the cub and his eyes got very large. Her started gesticulating and yelled "KIDS! CAR! NOW!" Fortunately his kids were not at the age where they would ignore everything he said and they returned to their car too. Why the other people were out that close is a wonder to me, I guess survival instinct doesn't run deep in all of us. All I know is don't mess with a cub, the mom's sure to be close.
The next day my husband and I wanted to hike a small trail near the loop and weren't able to, a nice park ranger wouldn't let us go as there was a mother bear and two cubs near the trail. I'm pretty sure it was the same group of bears. The only one we saw the day before was one of the cubs, no sign of the others but they were probably close.
And if you're feeling mopey that you're not in Yellowstone RIGHT NOW this should make you feel better: it's snowing there. Yes, May 25 and they and Bozeman and the surrounding area are under a winter storm watch for the next 3 days. Brrrrr!
Sorry there aren't too many bear pictures, here's a landscape from Yellowstone:

This weekend was spent celebrating my Father-in-law's birthday, spending time with my Grandpa-in-law (who's in town for a few weeks), shopping, eating and spending lots of time with friends. I also reached the 17-week milestone in pregnancy (yay me!). This 17th week has brought a new round of exhaustion. I've been so exhausted that any sort of production was near impossible.
Today, we were busy setting up my in-law's house for an upcoming wedding. At some point, there was nothing left for me to do and all I wanted was to go home. My Mom-in-law questioned my anxious gloomy look and I told her I could not stand standing around doing nothing. I wanted to go home, write, clean, pay bills and just be productive. Enjoying doing nothing has never come easy to me, and I've been feeling extra behind on my to-do list lately.
Mom-in-law looked at me with concern and then asked why I wasn't happy to just be with everyone. "How often are we all here? How many times will all these boys be together?"
I sat in the hammock and thought for a minute. I supposed she was right. It's not often that we are all here just spending time together. After all, we are all getting older, and soon enough we won't have time to just hangout. I decided to stay and try to enjoy just being there.
Here's a look at our Sunday of fun:
We ended the day with ice cream from Sweet CeCe's, an enormous group grocery shopping trip (that's when you know you're getting old!), Insanity, a scary movie and junk food.
But, tomorrow, I swear, it's back to work!

H.C. Wainwright initiated coverage of OSE Immunotherapeutics (ISIN: FR0012127173; Mnémo: OSE) with a "buy" rating and a 12-month price target of €12.00. The stock closed at €6.25 on March 6.
OSE Immunotherapeutics is a French clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel immunotherapies against both cancer and autoimmune diseases.
"We believe that OSE, by leveraging the company's unique and expert understanding of the immune system, could become a major player in these fast growing markets," writes analyst Swayampakula Ramakanth.
The company's lead product, Tedopi, is a peptide vaccine for the treatment of advanced HLA-A2-positive non-small cell lung cancer and is currently in a registration-directed Phase 3 study.
The company also has several follow-on products in early stages of development, including FR104 for the treatment of autoimmune diseases; Effi-7 for the treatment of ulcerative colitis; and Effi-DEM, a checkpoint modulator for the treatment of cancers.
"We believe that Tedopi, FR104 and Effi-7 all have blockbuster potential and project their revenues to reach €625-million by 2027," Mr. Ramakanth added.

The Peavey IPR 1600 stereo power amp features 830 watts per channel at 2 ohms and weighs in at 7 pounds! The IPR1600 also has 2 channel independent fourth order Linkwitz-Riley crossovers, a variable-speed fan housed in a lightweight aluminum chassis, patented DDT speaker protection, and the revolutionary new IPR class D topology.
Boasting a net weight as low as 7 lbs., the groundbreaking Peavey IPR Series of pro audio power amps utilize an advanced design that allows Peavey engineers to dramatically reduce weight while increasing output power, reliability and thermal efficiency. IPR Series amplifiers are designed with a resonant switch-mode power supply and a high-speed class D topology that yields the highest audio resolution and efficiency available. And all at a cost that shatters the old-guard paradigm of power-amp valuation.
Shaking up the pro audio industry with innovative power amplifier designs has become a Peavey trademark. More than 30 years ago, Peavey was the first to break the $1-per-watt barrier. Now with the Peavey IPR Series, they've pushed technological limits again to bring you an amazingly powerful and efficient power amp for just pennies per watt.
The IPR DSP Series amplifiers feature the same power ratings, design and efficiency, plus a 32-bit processor with a suite of delays and crossovers, pre-programmed loudspeaker settings, stereo/mono operation, lockout—and for the first time in any power amplifier, built-in Waves MaxxBass technology, which uses psycho-acoustics to add more low-end to your system without the need for more power amps, processing or subwoofers.
Amps in the IPR DSP line contain presets for Peavey SP, PR, Impulse, SSE, QW, PV Series loudspeakers and monitors, as well as other commonly used loudspeaker configurations, plus special presets for program music applications (dance, speech, rock, thump, loudness, contemporary worship). Manual mode allows you to assign your custom crossover points, EQ, delay and more.

Global Check Recovery offers free check collection services to help you, the customer, recover funds that are due to you. But what happens if you are the one sending the bad check? Did you know that a bounced check can affect your credit score? So now we must understand what your normal credit score versus your bounced check credit score would look like and how it is affected by an NSF check.
A non-sufficient funds check by itself will not show up on a credit report. There are a few ways that it can lead to it being reported, which are listed below:
Bills and Credit Agencies – Paying bills is something almost everyone does. For example, if you send a check out to pay your electrical bill and it bounces, it can show up on your credit report as being late. Your normal credit score, even if it's pristine and you've made every payment in your life on time up until this point, will fall and be affected by your bounced check credit score. Having good debt like student loans or a mortgage is also great for your credit if you pay on time consistently. In this instance, if a payment is missed or an NSF check is made, it will again show up as a late payment. As long as you get the account back in good standing within 30 days, you will not be reported to a credit agency.
Banks – Checking accounts aren't considered a line of credit, but some services the bank offers that may be an add on might be; one big example would be overdraft coverage. Banks usually charge a fee to cover the money that has been over drafted from your account and the bank covers the initial withdrawal. If you do not pay the fee back within a certain amount of time, the bank can then report you to a collections agency. In turn, reporting it to a credit agency as well and showing up on your credit score.
Even though we offer free check collection and recovery services for businesses, keeping our customers informed of current market information has always been one of our top goals. Knowing what could happen in the aftermath of a bounced check credit score can be devastating. Give us a call toll free at 1-866-524-3339 with questions you may have on any and all of the collection services we offer.

May 19, 2015 – As Memorial Day weekend approaches, backyard chefs everywhere are dusting off their grills, eager to spring into the long-awaited barbeque season. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that grillers pay particular attention to safety in the spring and summer months when home fires involving grilling incidents occur most often.
Three out of five households own a gas grill, according to NFPA's "Home Fires Involving Cooking Equipment" report, which translates to a lot of tasty meals. But it also means there's an increased risk of home fires. Each year an average of 8,800 home fires are caused by grilling, and close to half of all injuries involving grills are due to thermal burns. While nearly half of the people who grill do so year-round, July is the peak month for grilling fires followed by May, June and August.
NFPA provides grilling fire safety tips to consumers
While gas grills contribute to a higher number of home fires overall than their charcoal counterparts, NFPA reminds everyone that all types of grills pose a risk for fires and burn injuries. More than one-quarter (27 percent) of home structure grill fires started on a courtyard, terrace or patio, while 29 percent started on an exterior balcony or open porch, and six percent began in the kitchen, according to the report.
"As friends and families prepare for a fun grilling season together, be sure the grill is working properly and review safety tips," said Lorraine Carli, vice president of Outreach and Advocacy for NFPA. "Propane gas hose leaks or breaks were the leading factors contributing to gas grill fires. It's good practice to check for damage before using the grill for the first time each year, and to clean and check the entire grill regularly."
NFPA offers tips for checking damage to propane tank hoses before using.
When grilling, NFPA suggests the following:
About the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
NFPA is a worldwide leader in fire, electrical, building, and life safety. The mission of the international nonprofit organization founded in 1896 is to reduce the worldwide burden of fire and other hazards on the quality of life by providing and advocating consensus codes and standards, research, training, and education. NFPA develops more than 300 codes and standards to minimize the possibility and effects of fire and other hazards. All NFPA codes and standards can be viewed at no cost at www.nfpa.org/freeaccess.

This is Global Rainbow.
This laser light sculpture by Yvette Mattern projects the full spectrum of the rainbow [ROYGBIV] using high specification lasers that can be seen for over 35 miles. Seen here, it is projected from Scrabo Tower in Northern Ireland, March 2012. This installation is the closest approximation of what Mattern's work looked like in New Haven.
This isNight Rainbow | Global Rainbow New Haven.
Beginning on April 24, 2013, Site Projects Inc. projected Night Rainbow | Global Rainbow New Haven from the base of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument at the summit of East Rock. The four-night-exhibition kicked-off citywide celebrations of the 375th Anniversary of New Haven. The beams crossed above the Green, Interstate Highway 95, West Haven and finally diminished into Long Island Sound.
Here was the trajectory. Click on any map for a higher resolution image.
Night Rainbow | Global Rainbow New Haven in the Downtown
Site Projects presents Night Rainbow | Global Rainbow New Haven with the support of: John DeStefano, Mayor of New Haven; Vivian Nabeta, Director of the Department of Arts, Culture and Tourism; Robert Levine, Director of the Department of Parks, Recreation and Trees; Market New Haven; Info New Haven; Town Green Special Services District and Arts Council of Greater New Haven
Brief History of the Rainbow
Global Rainbow was initially created for one-night projection with limited technology in New York City on MLK Day in 2009. The Rainbow has subsequently been exhibited in Berlin (titled, From One to Many); Toulouse and Nantes, France; Utrecht, Netherlands; three regions in the UK as part of the Cultural Olympiad – a prelude to the 2012 London Olympic Games; Metz, France and most recently in New York City as Global Rainbow: After the Storm, a benefit for those affected by Hurricane Sandy.

We liked the peace and quiet, and the location of the cottage. It was really excellent with ample space for clothing and accessories.
Mrs Welbourne
The location of the cottage was lovely; the birdsong, the walks, the meadows at this time of year are gorgeous. We didn't want to leave and will definitely be back.
Mrs Westerman
The property offered everything and more that you could possibly wish for. It was extremely clean and well presented, with comfy beds and furniture. As the title suggests, 'Topsy-Turvy Cottage' is built with the lounge and kitchen upstairs, giving excellent views over the valley. The location of the cottage is ideal for exploring the surrounding Yorkshire Dales.

I always look forward to reflecting on what have happened in the last 30 days. I know that I have already mentioned this but it is so eye-opening process that helps me to prioritize and gives me the sense of achievement.
My professional life has been a centre of attention in October and whether right or wrong my priority on most days. Work-life balance is something that I struggle with and may need to address it in the near future.
As for my private life, the main highlight of the month would have to be our trip to Brighton. As my husband told me, it was a very original choice of destination but no regrets there… Seeing new places, taking everything in and memorizing is a real journey that I do not want to end.
The blog post you liked the most in October was beauty-related and can be found here if you missed it. The one you liked the least was a fairly recent style-related one, well-worth checking out in my opinion (available here).
I had a few fashion favourites lately, mostly clothing ones. To name just one or two, this coat from Zara is an absolute dream and the quality of the fabric is second to none. It reminds me of high-end giants coats like Joseph or MaxMara. Zara can be a difficult place to shop as the quality vary from item to item. That is why, I like to visit the store and get the feel of the item before buying anything.
Coat Zara
Another piece of clothing I have been wearing non-stop since I got it, is this silk shirt from & Other Stories. The fabric is very delicate, more spring appropriate but the way this shirt makes me feel is supper cosy and comfortable. It is a trusty staple that will stay in my closet for a very long time !
Shirt & Other Stories
Finally, I decided to develop my YouTube channel further and as a result I will try to publish at least one video a week. Creating videos is definitely more demanding than anything else I have tried before but the more I do it, the more pleasure and satisfaction I get out of it.
Thank you very much for stopping by and I hope to hear from you very soon !!
What was your October like ?

This is common among female models. They ask the question of how do I choose the best photographer to create amazing images.
You don't have a lot of room for error so take your time and hire the best you can get within your photography budget.
How to Choose the Best Model Portfolio Photographers
From fashion to runway modeling each girl or guy wants the finest portfolio pictures money can buy – at a reasonable price.
Tips for Choosing a Photographer
No matter what the occasion is, choosing the photography company to document it is very important.
It may be a wedding anniversary, where the Midnight Collection by Manly Bands will be featured, a graduation or a model's portfolio of pictures.
You may also just wish to update your family photos.
Choosing the Right Photography Company
How do you go about choosing the creative person who is right for your needs? Here are a few tips to help.
Start by making a list of potential candidates. If you are trying to hire the best model photographer portfolio photographer – do a search something like "model portfolio " + your city or state.
This will at least feature some modeling photographers who have expertise in the type photos you need.
Ask for references from friends and family.
Or, again with the modeling pictures – ask other models you know who is the in way of photography they've ever worked with.
And, they will tell you the worst!
Check local reviews and visit websites of those who work in your area.
Find someone whose style you like. When you narrow down your search, look at their online photo gallery of pictures. Look at how the models are posed.
Ask questions like: "Does the model look relaxed?", "Does it appear the photographer took time with posing his model?", "Is the photographer talented and creative?", and lastly, do you really like what you see?
The good photographer is one who will create images who will bring out your beauty and modeling talents – and maybe even help you to become a model, am I right?
Determine your budget for these photos. See if the photographers offer a price list for you to browse.
Make sure you pay attention to wording such as, "Prices start at…". Try to get an accurate price from the photographer before continuing.
If Possible – Arrange a Pre-shoot Meeting
When choosing a photographer, it is essential that you meet them.
Phone contacts are appropriate to help narrow choices, but a face-to-face meeting should be done before you sign with anyone.
Both parties need to ensure that there is no miscommunication and that you can work well together.
After all, a model is only as good as her poses and expressions.
Why Do You Want the Best Model Photographers for Your Modeling Photo Shoot?
An experienced model portfolio photographer can help you in getting ideas for your best look, some provide makeup artists and/or hair stylists so you look your best.
And, remember the after-capture editing to remove blemishes or to create that "magazine cover girl" look.
There is much more to research in order to get the person who is best for the job but these are a few things you should remember when hiring someone to do your next photo shoot.
Take these modeling tips into account when choosing your next photographer.
Chances are this event will seldom or maybe never come around again and you want to ensure it is documented properly.
If you choose a good one she or he can help you do exactly this.
Now, get ready for your model photo shoot!
Enjoy! – Bob Pardue

Sellout expected for Brazil, Honduras friendly
Sun Life Stadium hosting World Cup tuneup
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – A sellout crowd is expected for the friendly between Brazil and Honduras at Sun Life Stadium on Saturday night.
"They are talking about a possible attendance record for this match," said Sebastian Christensen with ESPN Deportes. "The previous record was when Chivas and Barcelona played over here."
When the Mexican and Spanish powerhouses played in 2011, 70,080 fans packed Sun Life Stadium.
Devoted soccer fans followed the World Cup 2014 hosts throughout South Florida this week.
"It is kind of unbelievable seeing them right here next to you when you are used to seeing them on TV," said Renato Corgho.
Corgho has played soccer since he could walk. He and his friends from the Kendall Soccer Club served as ball boys while Brazil practiced.
"The best players in the world I get to watch how they train and see the things they do and I can use it to improve my game," he said.
Brazilian star Neymar also met former England captain David Beckham, who toured Marlins Park on Wednesday, one of the possible venues for hosting his Major League Soccer franchise while a soccer-specific stadium is built.
"It is really important to have a club here [in Miami]," said Brazilian national team spokesman Rodrigo Paiva. "You deserve to have a good team and David we are sure will do that."

Golf is a game of opposites.
To hit the ball farther, relax. To send the ball higher, hit down on it.
These kinds of antithetical actions can work when it comes to golf course stewardship, too: to improve a course, superintendents should consider managing less, not more.
Golf represents an easy target for environmentalists who call attention to the vast amounts of water, fertilizer, and chemicals used to maintain manicured courses.
"Unfortunately, that's the perception," says David Hueber, onetime CEO of the National Golf Foundation, who says his doctorate from Clemson University might be "the first Ph.D. in sustainable golf development and management." According to Hueber, "When it comes to an issue of sustainability, it kind of fits that perception that [golf courses] are not going to be good stewards. They use too much water, fertilizer, chemicals. It makes golf the pariah."
The reality is that golf-course managers have long sought to reduce irrigation, fertilizer, and pesticide use, if only for economic reasons. Modern superintendents are often among the first to say that sustainable course management could be a win/win for the environment and the club's bottom line.
For example, take North Carolina's Pinehurst Resort, which will be the home of the U.S. Open in 2014. Over the past three years the resort's famed Pinehurst No. 2 course has been restored to what golfers call its "midcentury glory," and what environmentalists call sustainable land management.
When restoring Pinehurst No. 2, the club made environmentally sound decisions based on economic principles. Cutting the irrigated acreage back from 90 to 50 acres saved mowing, irrigation, pesticide, and maintenance costs. Restoring maintained turf back to natural areas — "no mow zones" as they are sometimes called — provided habitat for species like the red-cockaded woodpecker. "We were the first private landowner to sign up for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Safe Harbor Program," says Bob Farren, director of golf course and grounds management for the Pinehurst Resort.
Danesha Seth Carley, a plant pathologist and director of sustainability development at North Carolina State University, was initially suspicious of claims of environmentally sustainable courses. "I was that person looking in at golf courses saying they are so unsustainable, it is a joke to consider a golf course sustainable," said Seth Carley. But she changed her tune after working with the designers of the university's Lonnie Poole golf course. The university course uses reclaimed water for fairway irrigation and water from rainwater retention ponds for green irrigation, eliminating the need to use potable water. The course also boasts 50-foot buffers along all waterways, enabling Lonnie Poole to do something golf courses have long done but people do not necessarily appreciate: filter runoff water. "The water coming off the course is cleaner than the water running onto the course," Seth Carley said.
And some courses offer more than just cleaner water. NCSU's Lonnie Poole is a certified Audubon International Signature Golf Course Sanctuary, and Seth Carley said she's seen the wildlife to prove it — foxes, herons, raccoons, and beaver. "The deer don't care whether the fairways are manicured," she says. "They go out and forage."
Although a golf course is still a far cry from being the untouched wild area that it once was, bear in mind that many golf courses are built on abandoned agricultural land. "I tell people we've increased biodiversity," said Seth Carley. "We have broomsedge and bluestem, warm season native grasses. The concept of the area is sort of old field progression." Ironically, Seth Carley was criticized for reintroducing longleaf pine, the area's original inhabitant, because post-agricultural North Carolina no longer supports that ecosystem.
Course superintendents and environmentalists may come at the issue from different angles, but they all seem to advocate the same thing: more natural areas, more responsible use of water, fertilizer, and pesticides, and greater community access. "I say 'wildlife habitat,'" said Seth Carley, "they don't say that. They're just thinking 'I don't want to mow, I don't want to feed, I don't want to manage that much grass.'"

I'm Not Sleeping Well: Could it be Sleep Apnea?
"Sleep deprivation is a serious medical risk, " NYU School of Medicine Associate Professor Joyce Walsleben tells Prevention revista. "But few people are aware of that."
The same magazine article named the following as top reasons that people report losing valuable sleep:
- Restless mind
- Failure to establish a regular sleep schedule
- Noisy/snoring spouse
- Hormonal changes
- Hunger
- Environmental clutter
- Bedroom lights and electronics
If you've made appropriate adjustments to your environment and routine that should accommodate restful sleep, and you still find yourself waking many times a night or experiencing any other common sleep apnea symptoms, you may benefit from a consultation with Alexandria cosmetic dentist Dr. Lawrence Singer at DC Smiles. You can reach our practice online or call the office directly: (703) 299-4614.

In a tangible sign of cooperation between the commissioner's office and a skeptical players' association, Major League Baseball and the union announced several rule changes on Thursday that will affect the trading deadline, the All-Star Game, roster size and on-field strategy.
The rules — some of which will not be implemented until 2020 — demonstrate that, after another winter in which many veteran free agents lingered for months on a sluggish open market, the league and the players were willing to modify their current collective bargaining agreement even though it does not expire until after the 2021 season.
"It's just good to see both sides are working together," said infielder Matt Duffy, the union representative for the Tampa Bay Rays. "It's good when you have cooperation on both sides of an industry. I think that creates a healthy atmosphere for the industry and the game to thrive."
For the players, the changes are largely a prelude to a more complicated renegotiation of the financial aspects of the C.B.A., which the sides have agreed to discuss. But they will result in immediate differences to the sport this season, including a single trading deadline on July 31.
This rule eliminates the archaic and somewhat confusing process of trade waivers, which for years had created a second summer trading period. Players can still be placed and claimed on outright waivers after July 31, according to the new rule, but cannot be traded after that date.
The league also overhauled the selection process for the All-Star Game starters and added a $2.5 million pool of bonus money for the home run derby, including $1 million for the winner. That might not be enough to motivate highly paid stars to take part, but for many young players, $1 million would dwarf their annual salary.
"I just got engaged to be married," said Pete Alonso, a slugging Mets prospect who would earn the $555,000 minimum if he makes the team. "So that would definitely pay for the wedding costs."
The All-Star starters (non-pitchers) will be selected in two phases: a primary round and a designated "Election Day." In the first round, fans will vote for the starters at each position, as they have for many years. Then, on a day in late June or early July, fans will vote again, choosing from the top three vote-getters at each position in the initial round (or top nine for outfielders).
Players will receive bonuses for finishing among the top vote-getters at their position, and the bonus pool for players on the winning team will increase. If the All-Star Game goes to extra innings, each inning beyond the ninth will begin with a runner on second base, with players allowed to re-enter the game as pinch-runners.
Other changes for this season further Commissioner Rob Manfred's goal of speeding up the pace of play. The average nine-inning gametook three hours last season, down by five minutes from 2017 but still 14 minutes longer than the average game in 2005.
Pace-of-play rules for 2019 will not include a pitch clock, but will include a reduction in mound visits, from six to five, and in the time between innings. Those breaks, which still must be reviewed with broadcast rights-holders, will be reduced to two minutes for all regular-season games, from 2:05 for local telecasts and 2:20 seconds for national telecasts.
The more significant changes will begin in 2020. Rosters will increase by one slot, to 26 players, through the end of August. In September, though, the maximum roster size will be reduced to 28, from 40.
"September games are a little outrageous at times, especially when you get two teams that are really competing for a postseason spot," Duffy said. "They want to give themselves the best chance to win a game, and if that means bringing in five or six relievers in one inning, they've got them down there, why not use them? I think you're going to see a little more realistic games in September.
"And the reality is," he added, "to have 80 percent of your season be decided in a certain way and then all of a sudden in the most important games, everything flips completely — that's a little weird, too."
Teams will have a limit, still to be determined, on the number of pitchers allowed on the active roster — and all pitchers will have to pitch to a minimum of three batters, or to the end of a half-inning. Yankees reliever Zack Britton said players were conflicted on that rule, which M.L.B. will impose on its own with the union agreeing to not challenge it.
"It changes strategy, for sure," Britton said. "I think nowadays there's not as many specialized pitchers that are just righty or just lefty. But obviously, if there are guys out there, it limits their role and job opportunity."
Then again, Britton said, the addition of a 26th roster spot effectively creates another job for the union.
"Adding one guy to the roster the whole year adds a bunch of players that are going to get to arbitration sooner or hit free agency sooner," Britton said. "It allows you to give some of your players some days off, especially adding a position player or bench guy."
Many people in baseball had assumed the 26th man would be part of the last collective bargaining agreement, which went into effect before the 2017 season. For the Kansas City Royals, a team that relies more on speed than other teams, the extra spot would make it easier to put a pinch-runner on the roster.
"For example, we're going to carry Terrance Gore to start the season, for sure," General Manager Dayton Moore said last week, referring to a player with one career hit but 32 stolen bases, including the postseason. "Although Terrance has made a lot of strides as somebody who could potentially be utilized as an extra outfielder, you'd feel a lot better about that if there was a 26th man."
The changes for 2020 also include restrictions on position players pitching, limiting those appearances to extra innings or games in which the pitcher's team trails (or leads) by at least six runs. The injured list for pitchers will also be returned to 15 days, from 10, as it has been for all players since 2017.

Health Benefits
Fleur was voted by Nasa as one of the best air purifiers and was chosen as one of 15 plants they would take to help filter the air of their space station.
Watering and feeding
Fleur likes to be watered regularly, roughly once or twice a week to keep her soil moist, although not too moist as this can cause damage to her roots. Fleur would be very happy with you if you fed her with a liquid fertiliser once every month between Spring and Autumn.
Living with pets and children
Fleur has a toxic side to her if you attempt to eat her, so keep away from pets and children.

Peoria Chiefs Mid-Season Review
With most leagues about that their midway point, I thought it was a good time to review all the Cubs minor league affiliates who are playing a full season. Today, we start with the Peoria Chiefs.
First Half, 7th place (of 8 in division), 30-38, 11.5 games back
Second Half, 4th place (tied), 6-5, 2 games back
The Chiefs only finished a half game ahead of the last place Burlington Bees. They started the second half with 5 straight losses, but are in the midst of a 6 game winning streak.
All Stars:
Jovan Rosa (1B/DH)
Blake Parker (P)
Rosa started at DH, going 2-3 with a souble and 2 runs scored. Parker actually recorded the win, striking out 4 over 1 and 2/3 innings to close the game, yielding only a walk.
Position Player of the 1st Half:
While not making the All Star team, third baseman Marquez Smith (8th round, 2007) has been the Chiefs best offensive force. In 76 games, Smith has a .291 batting average and is slugging almost .500. He leads the team in HR's (11), RBI (42), total bases (140), and is second in runs (42). He hasn't mastered the art of the steal (1 SB in 4 chances) but does have 4 triples (which also leads the team). He has struggled defensively (13 errors), but unfortunately, that is only 3rd worst on the team.
Pitcher of the 1st Half:
There were three candidates for this "award": Blake Parker, Dae-Eun Rhee, and Dustin Sasser. While Sasser had a 1.53 ERA before being promoted to Daytona, he was 1-4 in relief at Peoria. Rhee is 4-1 with a 1.80 ERA in 10 starts, but has missed time on the D.L. and has given up 5 unearned runs. So, the choice was relatively easy: Blake Parker. Parker (16th round, 2006) isn't on the Chiefs anymore, he was promoted to Iowa this past week. That's right, he was promoted from Mid A ball to AAA. Before being sent to the I-Cubs, Parker had thrown 47 and 1/3 innings in 23 appearances (in other words, averaging more than 2 innings per appearance). He saved 3 games and was 3-0. But those pale in comparison to his other impressive numbers: 1.33 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, 9.7 K's per 9 innings, 2.8 K/W ratio.

Trade rumors have surrounded the Lakers for the past few weeks. However, most of those rumors were connected with the Lakers frontcourt, specifically centered around Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum
So it was a surprise to many when the Forum Blue and Gold got rid of longtime starting point guard Derek Fisher, sending him to the Houston Rockets (along with the Dallas Mavericks' first-round pick) in exchange for Jordan Hill, the fourth-year center out of Arizona, according to ESPN.
Fisher spent 13 of his 16 NBA seasons with the Lakers, where he won five NBA Championships and averaged just under nine points per game.
The Lakers decided to trade Fisher after acquiring Ramon Sessions from the Cleveland Cavaliers earlier in the day. The Cavs will get Luke Walton and three-point specialist Jason Kapono from L.A. as well as the Lakers' first-round selection in the 2012 NBA Draft.

UK industrial production declined 0.4% in June, surprising analysts who predicted a 0.1% increase.
Mining and quarrying fell a huge 3.8% month-on-month, according to the Office of National Statistics, as the commodities price rout worsened.
The fall was balanced out by manufacturing output posting an increase of 0.5%, a little higher than estimates of 0.4%.
Here are the main points from the ONS report:
- Total production output is estimated to have increased by 0.7% between Quarter 1 (Jan to Mar) 2015 and Quarter 2 (Apr to June) 2015.
- In the 3 months to June 2015, production and manufacturing were 9.2% and 4.8% respectively below their figures reached in the pre-downturn GDP peak in Quarter 1 (Jan to Mar) 2008.
- Total production output is estimated to have increased by 1.5% in June 2015 compared with June 2014.

Progress on our Permaculture Food Forest continues. This time under the experienced direction of Grant and Kathy Curry from the Permaculture Provision Project.
At our July Workday we planted a Peach Tree Guild!
Grant is helping us plant our food forest with the idea of creating paradise. What is your idea of paradise? Think back to your childhood, can you remember a time when you felt fed, safe, and exuberant.
For me that was sitting at my Aunties house in the shade of the mulberry tree, looking out from behind the tall plants around the trunk at the lush garden surrounding me. My fingers stained with the sweet juices of the abundant berries.
Our Peach Guild includes:
1 Redhaven Semi-dwarf Peach
2 Gooseberry (1 Pixwell, 1 Tasty Berry)
3 Horseradish
2 Grapes (1 Vitis 'Beta', 1 Vitis Edelweiss)
1 Blue False Indigo
4 Daylillies (Did you know they are edible!?!)
3 Lupines
Along with the technical support Grant helped inspire us. He reminded us that many of us are drawn to the garden becuase we see that our world needs help. Permaculture gives us a way to put those thoughts into ACTION.
Here are some videos that Grant recommended:
Discovering an Oasis in the American Desert - Geoff Lawton
The Future of Water - On Netflix - "A look at the deeply intertwined history of humanity and fresh water reveals looming challenges that could upend power structures around the world."
Water Ghandi of India - "Turns dust bowls into lush villages using ancient ways."
Plus lots more videos like this on the Permaculture Provision Project Facebook Page.
Let's grow our paradise! The Earth provides for us as long as we provide care in return. As Grant said, "created by nature, facilitated by good design."

Mathy, Laurent; and Canonico, Roberto; and Hutchison, David (2001) An Overlay Tree Building Control Protocol. In: Networked Group Communication. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2233/2 . Springer Berlin, Heidelberg, pp. 76-87. ISBN 978-3-540-42824-4Full text not available from this repository.
TBCP is a generic Tree Building Control Protocol designed to build overlay spanning trees among participants of a multicast session, without any specific help from the network routers. TBCP therefore falls into the general category of protocols and mechanisms often referred to as Application-Level Multicasting. TBCP is an efficient, distributed protocol that operates with partial knowledge of the group membership and restricted network topology information. One of the major strategies in TBCP is to reduce convergence time by building as good a tree as possible early on, given the restricted membership/topology information available at the different nodes of the tree. We analyse our TBCP protocol by means of simulations, which shows its suitability for purpose.
|Item Type:
|Contribution in Book/Report/Proceedings
|Additional Information:
|This paper presents a distributed algorithm for overlay multicast tree building. The particularities of the proposed tree building method are scalability and fast convergence times, achieved through a novel strategy known as ""tree-first, split-horizon"" approach. It was published at NGC (Networked Group Communications), a special interest workshop that was well supported and attended by the computer networking research community. This paper has had a significant impact on the research community as testified by the 80 references reported by Google Scholar.

El Botón de Nácar
by Patricio Guzmán
in the presence of Claude Ruey, President of Visions du Réel
Monday 28 September 2015, 8.30pm
Cinémas Capitole Nyon
5 rue Neuve, 1260 Nyon
Berlinale – Silver Bear for Best Script
The ocean contains the history of all humanity. The sea holds all the voices of the earth and those that come from outer space. Water receives impetus from the stars and transmits it to living creatures. Water, the longest border in Chile, also holds the secret of two mysterious buttons which were found on its ocean floor. Chile, with its 2,670 miles of coastline and the largest archipelago in the world, presents a supernatural landscape. In it are volcanoes, mountains and glaciers. In it are the voices of the Patagonian Indigenous people, the first English sailors and also those of its political prisoners. Some say that water has memory. This film shows that it also has a voice.

Happy mothers day Oma
I made this for Oma (Shawn's grand ma) for Mothers day but i didn't get to see her until her Birthday (90 what a milestone). She was so happy. She told me she loved me and how perfect i was for her grandson. AH :) brings a smile to my face her sweet smile.
This plate took a few days. The edges are filled with S curves (day 1), the center is a bible verse (day 2), the edges of red berries (day 3) and then gold berries (day 4). With each layer or color i needed a 24 hours for color to set and dry.
This was a lot of fun.

In this interview, he makes a number of interesting points. Plus, he insists on calling Linux, "GNU/Linux", which has is as accurate as it is cumbersome to say. Stallman is best known, though, for never being satisfied:
RMS: I can't be entirely happy with Novell as long as it distributes non-free software, and in particular, I can't entirely approve of SuSe as long as it distributes non-free software. However, Novell's changes go in the right direction. The Ximian and SuSe programs that were non-free are free now.

When parents register their child with our practice, they are usually worrying a lot about their child. Asking a psychologist to help is a big step for many parents. Here you can read how our services are organized. We hope we can assist you in making a decision.
When can a psychologist help?
Psychology practice Oog offers a broad range of treatment options for children from the age of 4 (approximately). Children who are signed in for our services have all kinds of problems, like difficulty making or keeping friends, temper tantrums, anxiety, being bullied or being a bully and concentration problems. We also see children who have had traumatic experiences, like victims of (sexual) abuse, children of divorced parents and children who have experienced loss.
Application procedure
You can register your child by phone or through our website Once you have registered we will give you an approximate waiting time.
• Intake: During this first visit we will look at you/your child's leading question and at what you would like to see changed as a result of our assistance.
• Treatment plan: At the end of the intake, your therapist and you will draw up a treatment plan. This treatment plan contains treatment goals and the method that will be used to reach those goals.
• Treatment: Our practice offers individual therapy and family therapy in English. Group trainings are not available in English yet. If you would like to have more information about the treatment options, you can click the corresponding button on the left.
• Evaluation: Depending on the duration of treatment, there will be a mid-term evaluation. There will always be an evaluation at the end of treatment; together we will look at the treatment goals and if we have succeeded in reaching them.
• Conclusion: Our practice strives for short treatments. We are confident in the strengths of all children and parents who ask for our help. That is why we believe the moment when you feel you can stand on your own feet again will come soon.

This Saturday we skipped off to Pett's Wood again. It's so peaceful out there, barely a soul for miles and the rustle of the squirrels and balmy wind in the autumn leaves, the sound of birdsong, and random mushrooms sprouting off the leafy paths are all so relaxing for a brain, child, relationship and body constantly on the go during the week.
It's only a 25 minute trip on the train from Brixton Station, then a 10 minute walk to the forest. We did take a detour through the charity shops where we found a Matchbox motorbike for 15p – Freddie's not lost sight of it since.
We also found this cool tree with eight trunks and a raised bit in the middle. Freddie and Mary stood in it, and with the sun shining through the canopy captured this halo of light and family-ness:
Saturday night Craig stopped by for dinner then Freddie and I toddled off to Brockwell Park this morning while Mary practiced her yoga. Freddie's pal Leon (they both get childminded by Patricia) and his German parents Phillip and Stella were there. Really nice to meet them after all this time.
Last month we bought a dishwasher. Plumbing constraints forced our workbench elsewhere, so a few weeks ago we picked up a 2.5m x 60cm worktop and finally got around to installing it this afternoon/evening. And here it is in all it's glory:

They say vegans are lousy hunters, but sometimes it takes a predatory instinct to seek out a meatless meal in the 305. Luckily, Coral Gables' Green Gables Café offers a vegan lunch special that differs daily, so you don't have to choke down a PB&J every single day.
See also: Miami's Ten Best Vegan Desserts
The grassy-hued overhang of this cozy café is a reminder of its go-green mentality, right down to the environmentally friendly napkins and cutlery.
On a recent visit, I dug into a plump, satisfying avocado-and-kale-stuffed sweet potato ($15) paired with a cup of thick, creamy butternut squash soup. Prices for the specials vary, but they hover around $13 to $16.
Flavorful hummus, paired with soft whole-wheat pita bread triangles ($8), also deserves a nod.

Other recent vegan specials have included grilled eggplant and hummus with baby greens, tomatoes, and mushrooms in a wheat wrap; black-bean veggie burger topped with tomato, sautéed portobello mushrooms, and miso dressing; and raw-vegan zucchini spaghetti tossed in sun-dried tomato pesto.
Green Gables is open weekdays only, so you'll have to get your lunch fix elsewhere on weekends. Daily specials are posted on Facebook and sent via email too.

I've seen lots of recent games which claim to be teaching programming and computer skills. I'd like to see a more indepth analysis of them.
For instance, KODABLE. It's a cute iPad app which is a series of puzzles. The answer to the puzzles is to give a set of instructions to the game on how to proceed. It starts about a half step away from telling it what to do since the instructions are entered slightly differently and sooner than if you you were just navigating. And the need for complexity and conditions around the instructions slowly grows. The instructions are primarily icons, there's no semantics. (BTW, I played in a few months ago so I could be confusing it with another which is one reason that I'm not linking across at this point until I recheck it). The game is aimed at the first half of elementary school. Does this type of game help students develop logic and a feel for the programming process? It seems like it should or at least could. Anyone know of any studies one way or the other?
I think hopscotch is in the same vein.
I'm asking because I'm about to start a study to see what my online homeschool program should do about teaching programming to students and we'd like to have solutions for K-12 or at least:elementary, middle and high school.

What is Kybella
Kybella is a non-surgical treatment widely used to get rid of excess neck fat. This injectable drug consists of deoxycholic acid, a naturally-occurring substance that absorbs fats. Approved by the FDA in 2015, Kybella quickly garnered praise for offering an effective and non-invasive alternative to surgery and liposuction to eliminate double chins. Apart from removing fat, Dr. Omidi uses this treatment to produce tightening effects on the neck skin to enhance the youthful and natural-looking appearance.
This cosmetic procedure is considered to be safe and requires only two to three visits with each treatment taking approximately 15 minutes. While this procedure is brief and minimally-invasive, it is known to produce enduring effects; once fat cells are absorbed by the drug, they disappear permanently. The recovery period lasts only two to three days with no bandages required.
If you're interested in learning more about Kybella, make an appointment online or call us at 800-310-7000. You can visit us at our Beverly Hills headquarters or any of our satellite offices in the greater Los Angeles area.
*Treatment time and results vary from patient to patient.

Whole School Evaluation
The below link is to a report that was written following a Whole School Evaluation of Coláiste Mhuire. The report presents the findings of an evaluation of the work of the school in May 2008.
Overall, the examiners' very pleased with the school. They made many commendations and some recommendations for the further development of the work in the school. Many of these recommendations have been implemented since 2008 as we continue to improve the standard of tuition through a mixture of continuous professional development and improved facilities.
