In these days, when Brazil is at the center of international attention with the Rio Olympics, the country is experiencing the worst economic crisis, and political and institutional reforms of its democratic history. The striking contrast between the grandeur of the opening ceremony and the actual condition of the majority of Brazilians forces basic questions: how is it possible that these two realities continue to coexist? How is it possible that tens of millions of people still live in extreme poverty, with no water, food, education, hospitals, work? Is there a common understanding, either in Brazil or in the rest of the world, as to the reasons for this great disparity and social injustice?
On the opening day of Rio 2016, I happened to be in the Sertão, the semi-arid Brazilian outback, a very poor region north of Rio, which alone represents 9% of the Brazilian territory and is home to 11% of the entire population. I was there to start a development project on behalf of some local communities that AVSI Brazil intends to implement with a large Italian industrial group which has expanded its activities to that region. The project aims to contribute to the improvement of living conditions for hundreds of local families.
The Sertão is the clearest mirror of Brazilian inequality. In this region, unlike the area surrounding Rio which has been polished up for the big event, there are no roads without potholes. The local roads are largely unpaved and red Brazilian earth soils the white of the horses.
There has been no rain in the Sertão since January; a tragedy in a place where the local water depends mainly on rainfall. Though high quality underground water flows in abundance, the State, which has invested billions of Reals to extract of oil in the pre-salt region, is unable to build water wells for its population.
The positive international image of Brazil being broadcast in these day is surely helpful: an emerging country, thanks in part to Olympics. But this growth should generate new wealth to reinvest in development policies. The State has a duty to ensure access to basic services for people, to ensure a basic infrastructure and to attract private investment in a sustainable manner, which is also compatible with its land and culture.
Private businesses are vital players when seeking a better redistribution of wealth. In Brazil, corporate social responsibility models have reached very advanced stages. They are based on the concept of mutual gain for the private sector and for society as a whole, which is seen as a set of stakeholders in a given region.
These models call for the active involvement of the third (non-profit) sector, through partnerships that create wealth for the region, stimulate employment, promote access to new knowledge and technology, and form the basis of thoughtful cultural and environmental development the country.
The associations of the Brazilian non-profit sector can be effective in promoting sustainable development. They guarantee a stable presence in contexts where the State struggles, or is has no interest, to serve. Even in the poorest places in Brazil, there exist non-profit associations that arose in response to the practical needs of the people and the desire of people at all levels of society to be protagonists of their own development.
The faces and stories of the people of the Sertão may appear "unnecessary" in a society where a "culture gap" dominates, but they can teach us to rediscover the value of solidarity and the positivity of life, even in extreme conditions. The Olympics may represent a unique opportunity to reveal this other face of Brazil.

HPFT receives a CQC rating of 'Good'
25 Apr 18 - 25 Apr 19
We are delighted to receive a rating of 'Good' by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the body that regulates all hospitals, health and social care providers.
Following an inspection earlier this year, the rating provides evidence that the our services are safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led. Two of the our core services – Forensic inpatient services and Wards for people with a learning disability – have been rated 'Outstanding.'
The CQC inspectors praised staff working within the Trust, commenting that:
"Staff behaved in a kind, respectful and compassionate manner when interacting with patients. Staff always took time to listen to patients and fully understand what support they required."
The CQC noted that HPFT leaders and managers at all levels are visible and approachable. There is good engagement with staff, service users and partners. Service users are involved in service improvement and their feedback is used to change practice.
The CQC also recognised the impact that the Trust's investment in IT systems and innovation projects is having in enabling staff to deliver improved safety and better outcomes for service users.
There are areas that 'require improvement', including baseline staffing levels and some environment safety concerns. These are issues of which the Trust is already aware and taking action.
HPFT's Chief Executive, Tom Cahill, said:
"We're proud to be one of a number of mental health and learning disability trusts that have received a 'Good' rating across England. The report provides a clear endorsement of our hardworking and dedicated staff as, in the CQC's own words: 'Staff showed caring, compassionate attitudes, were proud to work for the Trust and were dedicated to their roles.'
"These results come at a time when demand for our services is higher than ever. We have continued to improve while treating greater numbers of people.
"These results also move us closer to our ambition deliver Great Care and Great Oucomes – providing excellent mental and physical care at the heart of the community."
The last inspection took place from 23 January – 9 February 2018. For more information and the inspection reports, you can visit the CQC website by clicking here.

Becoming a new mother is a beautiful and vulnerable experience. It's a time of transition filled with love, elation, anxiety, exhaustion—and insecurity.
I can promise you that everything you might feel as a new mom is normal. In fact, it's part of the process. Try to remember that you have also given birth to your new identity as a mother. You aren't SUPPOSED to know everything. It's okay to have questions and concerns and insecurities; motherhood is a journey that you are constantly learning from.
To help ease the transition, here are some apps that will benefit moms throughout all stages of new motherhood.
This app is a great way to track your baby's schedule and progress, all in one place. Baby Connect keeps track of hours slept, feedings, diaper changes, pumping sessions, and important milestones.
When you are overwhelmed and tired, it helps to have this easy tool!
Download here.
It's normal for a new mom to feel a bit isolated. Surrounding yourself with a community of other moms is important—physically and psychologically, as a support system and a sounding board.
Think of Peanut as a dating app for moms—from pregnancy and beyond. It allows you to create a profile and find likeminded moms to create a community in your own city or neighborhood
Download here.
I've talked about the Baby Shusher before on the blog but good news: It's also an app! This device and program is a BLESSING to sleep-deprived moms.
It's originally adapted from Dr. Harvey Karp's book, The Happiest Baby on The Block, who came up with soothing white-noise sounds to mimic what babies hear inside the womb. I've seen babies go from cranky to calm in a few seconds flat!
Download here
Headspace is an app that guides you through meditation and breathing exercises to help calm and manage your stress levels—anytime, anywhere. Taking the time out to recharge will allow you to come back a more recharged, relaxed, and confident mother ready to conquer what the world has to throw at her.
Download here.
This one is specifically for the mamas! Pregnancy and childbirth often cause the muscles in your pelvic floor to weaken—which can result in those "I just sneezed so hard that I peed!" moments. Don't worry, it's completely normal! Luckily, there's now a workout app for it.
Elvie is an easy to use device and app that helps to strengthen those pelvic floor muscles. Once you insert the small pod, Bluetooth will connect the device to an app on your phone which guides you through a series of exercises. Each workout is personalized to your individual needs and goals. A session only lasts five minutes—which is perfect for a busy (and exhausted) new mom!
Download and buy here.
P.S. At the end of the day, ALWAYS remember that there is no perfect mother or perfect way of doing anything. Use this time of growth to discover what feels right for you, your family, and your child.

#CarPorn | Audi TT quattro sport concept | Auto-Moto
At the heart of the concept is a 414bhp 2.0 TFSI engine running 1.8 bar of boost and producing 450Nm of torque - if it makes production that will make it comfortably the highest-specific output of any engine on sale. Power is transferred to all four wheels through a twin-clutch S tronic gearbox, with a 0-62mph time of 3.7 seconds.
The engine, which weighs only 150kg, was commissioned personally by Audi's new head of development, Dr Ulrich Hackenberg when he started his role last summer. "When I came to Audi I asked for more power from the 2.0 TFSI, after a while we reached 400hp, but I said it wasn't enough, so eventually we reached 420hp and I'm satisfied."

The Knoxville/Knox County Minimum Subdivision Regulations establish legal minimum standards for subdivision development. It is the job of the Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC) to ensure that proposed subdivisions conform to these adopted standards.
Subdivision regulations set standards for streets, drainage ways, sewage disposal, water systems, and other aspects of public welfare.
Subdivision regulations are needed to protect communities and ensure building lots provide a wholesome living environment for future residents. These regulations ensure adequate lot size, public access, and the availability of public services to each lot created. They also help to conserve natural, scenic, historic, and recreational areas.
Subdivision regulations eliminate the need for excessive public expenditures by making the developer responsible for the installation of basic public facilities before the recording and sale of lots.
According to Tennessee State Law, any time a property owner converts a tract of land into a subdivision—whether dividing it into two or 200 lots—a subdivision plat must be recorded. Recording of a subdivision plat is necessary before property transfers can begin in the subdivision.
Types of Subdivisions
There are one lot subdivisions, minor subdivisions, and major subdivisions. Each type is subject to regulations administered by the Planning Commission.
One Lot Subdivisions
A One Lot subdivision can be created by:
Minor Subdivisions
A subdivision is considered minor when:
Major Subdivisions

Everybody has that picture. Maybe it's your dairy-farmer grandpa—young, tanned and in work boots—crouching over an icy barrel of homemade ice-cream. Maybe it's your now-grown daughter at five, wild hair and dirty t-shirt, proudly holding a finger-painting masterpiece.
That picture illuminates a life. It opens a once-stuck window into the past. It answers important questions in one bright image: "Who do I come from?" "How did they fall in love?" "What was she like as a kid?"
That picture rarely has neat rows of smiling people with matching shirts. That picture never showcases an illusion of a perfect life. Instead, that picture freezes a telling moment within real life, with all its joy, messiness, complexity and love.
That picture gets treasured, remembered and passed down. That picture becomes an integral part of how you understand yourself and your story.
That picture is my life's work. In fact, I create entire albums of those pictures for the people I work with. I make true art photography that documents who you are and where you are right now.
I use still black-and-white film to create those pictures. Black-and-white film focuses attention on the emotion and life in the photograph. Black-and-white images transcend trends and never look outdated; they are made to be appreciated for generations. I also believe in the more measured and tactile process of shooting on film. The stakes are higher using this physical medium; every frame matters, and that adds meaning to every moment.
Let me capture this time and space in your life. Whatever you're celebrating, marking or wanting to document, we'll get those pictures together. Your LIFE photo shoot will be different from any session you've previously had. Don't dress up. Don't color coordinate. Don't go to "picturesque" places you've never visited before. Do take me to your favorite haunts. Do cook a meal together or play tag in the front yard. Do let the kids run, the pets play and your hair down. Do live your life like you normally would. Trust me, it's beautiful as is.
Music is integral to my life; our family has music playing every waking minute. I'm drawn to stories of how artists create the songs that become the soundtrack of their fans' lives. If you're a musician, I'd love to tell that story for you. Invite me in the studio and let me document the hours, emotions, hard work and cooperation that goes into making an album. You'll have a collection of those pictures to accompany your record and tell the world who you are.
In my experience, customers want to buy from and forge relationships with people, not companies. My documentary approach to commercial photography will tell the story of the people behind your business. Those pictures will help consumers understand who you are, what you stand for, and what you offer. Way beyond glamour shots of your products or services, this storytelling photography will help you connect deeply with your target audience.

Microsoft to Yahoo: No more Mr. Nice Guy
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has given Yahoo's board three weeks to accept Microsoft's $31 per share buyout offer. If Yahoo still does not move, he said Microsoft will put the offer in front of Yahoo shareholders and initiate a proxy fight. He also intimated that Microsoft might revise its $40 billion bid. Downward.
Money quote from Ballmer's letter dated April 5:
"The substantial premium reflected in our initial proposal anticipated a friendly transaction with you. If we are forced to take an offer directly to your shareholders, that action will have an undesirable impact on the value of your company from our perspective which will be reflected in the terms of our proposal."

It would be easier not to. I am lying in bed and this is thought that won't leave my mind. I roll over. I roll over again. I could be sick…
For those of us with a fear of public speaking, the night before a presentation or speech can be nerve wracking and sorely lacking sleep. When anxiety becomes strong enough, thoughts of how to avoid standing up in front of an audience can be the only thing to bring comfort.
So why speak?
A recent blog by Paulo Coelho sums up the importance of pushing through thoughts of avoidance and challenging the fear of public speaking over and over again: "Live the life you want to live."
The fear of public speaking is just that – a fear. Fear can be a great motivator, but most times fear serves to hold us back from what we really wish we could do with life. Examples of how the fear of public speaking can hold a person back are found in thoughts: If I do get the promotion I will have to host staff meetings – I don't think I can do that, or I would love to honor my sister at her wedding, but I am terrified about speaking in front of my family and friends.
In both of these examples, it is the FEAR of speaking that is preventing the thinker from experiencing and living the life they want. This is very sad. It is also something I have experienced many times in my own life – until I decided I needed to do something and started to work on "flipping the fear" of public speaking. This does not mean that the change was instant and that I don't still hear that little voice describing the easier road the night before a speech. What it does mean however, is that now in my life – and in a job where I have to deliver MANY public speeches – I listen less to the voice and instead, actively pursue what I want to experience in life, ESPECIALLY if it involves public speaking.
The bottom line: fear CAN be overcome. The motivation is all in Paulo's words: "Live the life you want to live." For speakers, not only does this involve challenging and overcoming fear, but holds the secret to the joy felt on the other side.

OB1 MkII Piezo technology VS. Electromechanic technology
OB1 MkII typical stability**: 0.005% s.d.
Pressure stability over time at 150 mBar OB1 200 mBar output (2 mL output volume) and electro-mechanical technology (2 mL output volume)
* Output Stability measured at 150 mBar with an external high accuracy pressure sensor (Druck DPI150)
** Short term stability measured for 1 min with a high accuracy sensor (Druck DPI150), excluding long term drift due to aging and environmental factor variations.
OB1 MkII stability- Real output pressure and internal pressure sensor
For demanding microfluidic researchers, maintaining a stable flow in their chip is essential – the pressure stability in a microchip is directly related to flow stability in the microchannel.
With the OB1, you will get a flow stability that is 20 times higher than other existing technologies available for microfluidic research (0.005% of the full scale).
Note that the pressure value which is displayed in your Elveflow software provides a visual indicator of the applied pressure changes.
The OB1 MKII internal pressure sensor used by the Elveflow software to display pressure has an additional electronic noise (0.05%) which does not rely on a real output pressure variation. As shown in the figure below, pressure noise in your microfluidic device will be 10 times less than the pressure displayed in your Elveflow interface.
* Output Stability measured at 150 mBar with an external high accuracy pressure sensor (Druck DPI150) simultaneously displayed with the Elveflow interface monitoring.
The piezoelectric technologies used in the OB1 Mk3 provide the world's most accurate flow control for your microfluidic experiment.
New 2015 feature : Pressure & Vacuum on the same channel, the OB1 is the only flow control instrument that allows you to control both pressure and vacuum on the same channel. For example, this feature enables you to precisely control the position of an object inside a microfluidic channel.

We used to define fire by seasons: they varied from place to place, but there was a period of time that fires were not reliably seen before, and a date they probably wouldn't be seen after. That is no longer the case, as the destructive fires burning this December in Southern California make clear.
The above chart shows all fires that burned over 300 acres each year from 2000 to 2017 in California, including this months' blazes.
The future, right now: We tend to talk about extreme weather and fire events as a "glimpse into our future under climate change." But these previously-rare events are increasingly common. "If 'unexpected' becomes the norm, because we only talk about extreme weather, how do we change the conversation?" Jeff Rosenfeld, the editor in chief of the bulletin of the American Meteorlogical Society, asked at the American Geophysical Union's annual fall meeting on Wednesday.

So I've been hesitant to discuss this here just because I don't know what's like nice and appropriate these days because I'm up early and go to bed late and have conversations about kid poop and the disgusting things I find in Masons neckmeat, so I really have no barometer or what is okay or not so I'm just going for it.
It did occur to me when I started this Whole30 that 30 days would inevitably include a period. I mean, there is just no getting around it, I'm pretty much 27 days, like clockwork so I could not escape. This fury visited me this week and I will say there is no deeper level of hell than your period on Whole30.
Okay, so there are some nice things that I've noticed. And I will start with the good parts, as I see them, in the interest of being fair. I usually get pretty debilitating cramps on day 1 and 2 of each cycle, and this time, not a darn thing. I mean no backache, no cramps, no nothing. So that is a HUGE bonus. I also generally break out a bit right before, and my skin is still super clear and no problems. So those parts are great!
The parts that suck are as follows: you can't have french fries, pizza, ice cream, chocolate of any form, etc. Also I was in a bad mood to start off with and THIS did not help. Josh actually finally said last night, "I am ready for you to be done with this. Officially. I am done.". Poor thing, he usually doesn't have very many opinions about the weird stuff I do, so this is saying a lot.
Here is why I am frustrated about this. All of the materials I read about the program even my daily emails I subscribed to make promises of FEELING better. And I'm not really getting that, except as I've mentioned more consistent energy and no headaches. But cripes Harry, I want to be doing high kicks and dancing to the music I hear in my mind at this point if I'm going to be a cheese-less, sugar-less, grain-less, alcohol-less machine. Then I feel bad, like maybe I have something really deeply wrong with me that I am not happier about all of these changes. Which probably, duh, but I already felt bad enough about myself, this wasn't intended to add more fuel to the fire. Anyway, here is my rant for the day, Day 16, done and in the books. As a side note, even in the face of the annoyance of not feeling great and kind of hating everything about this, I will not give up. As bad as I feel right now I feel like it would be worse to give up.
So, day 17-30, I'm coming for you.
Here is What I Ate:
Breakfast: chopped veggies sauteed in ghee, preservative and nitrate free sausage
Lunch: Which Wich salad with turkey, a ton of veggies, avocado and mustard
Dinner: Roasted chicken breast on Costco Sweet Kale Salad with no cranberries and my obsession Avocado Tomatillo salsa

In a few months time, I will be 65 years old. At this stage in my life, one would expect that I would be free of such relationship issues like heartache, betrayal, lack of trust and other matters of the heart that lots of people face in life.
But it's not so. A few months ago, I was stabbed in the back, betrayed by someone I loved with all my heart and soul and invested so much in.
The traitorous person, the snake who has caused me so much pain is none other than my wife, Timi. Timi was my life, my sunshine, the one who made me wake up with a smile on my face each morning. I believed she loved me too and would be by my side for the rest of my
. How wrong and naive I was! days
Looking back now, perhaps I should have known this would happen considering the differences between us especially the age gap. You see, I met Timi when I was close to 60; that was eight years ago. She was very young then, about 23, just fresh from school and as pretty as one of those models one sees in those glossy magazines. How did a young girl like that with so much going for her, end up with a man like me, that was old enough to be her father? Who already had a wife and children?
It's a long story and I think I should start from the beginning...
We met when I was still working, before my retirement. It was in a government
and I had been posted to our office in Port-Harcourt a few years before. I was a very senior staff then, the second in command at the office. There was a day I had gone out of the office to see someone and on my return, I had met the receptionist having an argument with a lady. She was dressed in the white and khaki uniform of the NYSC (National Youth Service Corps). parastatal
"Madam, I've told you several times, but you've refused to accept it. My boss said we don't have any vacancies here. We have enough youth

"What's going on here?" I queried.
They both turned in my direction, the receptionist quickly standing up on recognizing me.
"Welcome, sir!" she greeted cheerfully.
I looked at the lady, then turned to the receptionist, who was called Vero.
"Is there any problem?" I asked again.

GRANVILLE, Ohio – Thanks to a three-goal performance from senior Maggie Armstrong, Denison women's soccer notched their fourth consecutive win on Sunday afternoon as they defeated Shenandoah University 5-2 at Deeds Field-Piper Stadium in Granville.
Playing on the Deeds Field turf for the second straight day, the Big Red stayed in control throughout the game, outshooting the Hornets 18-11, including 12 shots on goal compared to SU's seven.
Despite falling behind in the third minute of play on a goal from Shenandoah's Kaitlyn Carter, DU capitalized on the equalizer at 34:06 when junior Riley Hammond sent a corner kick into the box from the left side and Armstrong headed it from just outside the goal box.
Less than four minutes later, it was déjà vu for DU as Hammond crossed in another corner for Armstrong to head in and give the Big Red the lead at the half, 2-1.
Wasting little time with her chance at a hat trick, Armstrong opened the second half with a shot from 20 yards out that inched over the outreaching arms of Shenandoah's goalie Autumn Delellis for her third goal of the match and 3-1 advantage for Denison.
In the 50th minute, freshman Liz Gilbert joined the scoring party as she went one-on-one with Delellis and sent the ball between her legs for Gilbert's fourth goal of the season and to give the Big Red a 4-1 lead.
Denison extended their lead to 5-1 in the 73rd minute after Abby King connected with fellow freshman Sydney Ludes on the right side of the box who sent the goal past the keeper for the first goal of her collegiate career.
Shenandoah tallied another goal in the final 10 minutes of play, but the Big Red captured the victory and moved to 4-1 on the season, which includes a 17-4 scoring advantage through the first five games of the season.
Armstrong led all scorers with three goals on the afternoon, while Hammond led both sides with two assists. This marked Armstrong's sixth multi-goal performance of her career and her first hat trick since arriving in Granville.
Leading the way for DU in goal was freshman Patil Tcholakian who tallied five saves in a full 90 minutes of play. For Shenandoah, Anna Jacobsen led the Hornets in net with seven saves in 73:45 of action.
Continuing their five-match homestand, the Big Red will welcome Centre College to Granville on Saturday, September 15 for a 1 p.m. start.

Supple Preparation Facial Toner
Good Toner
I didn't think I liked this toner at first, but for some reason I just kept coming back and using it. This toner is very calming and doesn't irritate my skin. I also find it hydrating and very good for layer on top of each other. I often prefer to use this in the winter because it feels a little thick, but it absorbs into the skin very well.
2 Step Ginseng Set
Absolutely in love
The first product I tried from the "I'm from" line was the honey mask so once I found out about this mask duo I bought it instantly. The mask applies smoothly and gives a pleasant warming sensation. My skin tends to be on the sensitive side so I was a bit worried when I read the warming reviews thinking it would burn but it felt sooo nice. These both smell amazing and my skin was visibly smoother and more hydrated after the first use.
Midnight Blue Youth Activating Drop
Magic in a bottle!
I was very lucky to be selected as a beauty-tester for this cult favourite product and oh boy, it truly lives up to the hype. Let's start with the basics: what is it? This is a blue, scentless watery peptide and antioxidant-rich serum that targets signs of ageing. It has very minimal ingredient so it suits even the most sensitive skin. It's a versatile product that can be used on its own or mixed in with your essence or toner. I use it twice a day after cleansing and toning and quite frankly, the first couple of weeks I didn't notice much difference with my skin. The real magic occurs after 3 weeks; my skin looks brighter and healthier. My skin tone looks more even too which is a remarkable feat as I have been spending so much time outdoors this Summer. This serum not once broke me out, on the contrary, I am convinced that the reason why I haven't had a spot for the past month is because of it. Thank you, Klairs for this wonderful serum and this is definitely a forever repurchase status for me!
Clear Skin Package
Helped calm my constant breakouts
This set was my first purchase with wishtrend and I'm honestly so glad I've made it. The cleanser was a bit too harsh on my skin as my skin doesn't react well with any salicylic acid products but it's much more gentle than some of the other acne cleansers I've tried. I was also a bit nervous about the ampoule at first because I figured it might add to my oilyness but to my surprise it made my skin feel very naturally hydrated. The mandelic acid toner is by far one of my favorite products I've ever used, it's a very gentle exfoliater and it sinks right into my sensitive skin.
Rich Moist Soothing Serum
Good Product
I received this as a beauty tester. I have sensitive skin but no reactions when using this, i'm still young but with defined undereye lines and slight forehead lines. After using this product my forehead lines vanish!
AC Collection Acne Patch
I put these little bad boys on as soon as i see a zit/pimple being summoned upon the holy grail that is my face, and lemme tell you, they work! I have dry sensitive skin so i was worried that it was going to leave me with dry patches but it didn't. I leave them on overnight and they stay there- sometimes you even forget you put it on. It depends on the size of your acne that these work best~ good thing they come in different sizes to help with better acne coverage. Personally, my smaller sized problem areas disappear it ins entirety, whereas the much bigger ones reduce in size and redness and gradually disappears on its own. But if you faster results for bigger zits you should either leave them on longer or use two patches. hopefully this helps~ All the best~
Ginseng Serum
My skin feels so smooth!
I always use this product whenever my feel a pimple about to surface. This product works very well in trying to calm down my irritated skin and feels very nice in the morning when I put it on the night before. It makes my skin so smooth and soft. Would definitely recommend!
Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water
Gentle and mild toner
I really enjoy using this as an exfoliating toner. I used it 2-3 times a week depending on my skin condition. It's mild and gentle, it make my skin looks brighter everytime I used it. Whenever my face have little bumps and white heads, I will soak it with cotton pad, and leave it on for 5 minutes. The next day, it calmed the bumps. I will really recommend it.
Angry Skin Calming Package (Unscented Ver.)
Love this set so much
The toner is slightly thicker in consistency, much like any hyaluronic acid toner. Not tacky after a couple of minutes. I use the serum with Vit drop and use it in the daytime with sunscreen - works well together and didn't cause any irritation to my skin. Didn't have any breakout either I mix the soothing cream and midnight cream together and apply only at night, as the consistency is a little too rich for humid Singapore. Didn't cause any issue or breakout either. Love love love
Pure Vitamin C 21.5% Advanced Serum
It really works!
One of my favourite products! I really can see that it works. Helps acnes to heal, improves skin tone, pores. May stings a bit as contains 21% of vitamin C. But only if skin is irritated. Ordered my 3rd bottle! Great to use with Vitamin 75 cream By Wishtrend.
Mugwort Essence
Omg. I love this product so much! I have combination-oily, sensitive skin (lucky me) and it can turn pink/red super easily. I hate it. But this essence seems to be the only thing that really calms it down. I don't use my hands to apply it, I soak some into a cotton/sponge pad and gently sweep it across any red areas. It has a faint herbal scent which I like, soothes my skin, and leaves it feeling smooth and soft after it has fully sunk in. I must buy another one!
Freshly Juiced Brightening Package
Renewal of the skin
I already tried the supple toner, which I ABSOLUTELY loved it, and this time I wanted to try the magic combo of the Freshly Juice Vitamin C with the Vitamin E mask. After using it for only two months I can already see the improvement on my acne scars and dark spots (not to mention how great my skin feels and looks with a more even tone). Also, I didn't know about the Sugar scrub, because I'm more into chemical exfoliation, but this one really leaves my skin smooth and bright, and the fact that I can also exfoliate my lips, it's a win! I only use it once every two weeks because I have kind of sensitive skin, but if you massage gently and add a little bit of water to the scrub, it doesn't feel harsh at all. I still haven't tried the cleanser, but being on the kind of sensitive skin type, I think the foam format will be perfect. I'm super glad I bought this package and I'll probably buy again!
Green Tea & Enzyme Powder Wash
It leaves my skin smooth and fresh, without scrubbing and damaging it. It's perfect for my sensitive skin!
Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask
I'm obsessed
Of all klairs product this is my most favourite. My skin has never been so hydrated. I love the pudding texture and the wet look it gives my skin . The smell is not over powering and it is very gentle on the skin. I highly recommend this to all who wanted that hydra boost for their skin.

|This architectural rendering of the St. Bernard Academy campus shows the new entrance of the school, which will be moved from 24th Avenue South to Bernard Street. The $3.2 million expansion project will include an additional 18,000 square feet of classroom, multi-purpose and office space. The project is scheduled to start this summer and be completed in the fall of 2016, when the school marks its 150th anniversary.
When Chuck Sabo became the Head of School at St. Bernard Academy in 2006, the school, even though it was one of the oldest in Nashville, was still somewhat of a "best kept secret" among the city's educational options.
Today, however, St. Bernard is bursting at the seams and ready to expand.
"We've just about maximized our creativity in terms of student learning spaces," Sabo said. Larger classrooms have been split in two, underutilized space behind the stage has been turned into classrooms, and some front offices have been re-purposed for tutoring and counseling space.
To better accommodate its 340 students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, St. Bernard is preparing to break ground on an 18,000-square-foot expansion and renovation project. Included in the plans are seven new classrooms, a large, multi-purpose room for assemblies and Masses, a student support center and updates to space for fine arts, administration and after-care services.
The $3.2 million expansion of St. Bernard's historic campus will enable SBA to keep class sizes small, around 12 students each. That ensures a lot of one-on-one interaction between teachers and students, a hallmark of St. Bernard. "The classrooms are the priority that drive the boat," Sabo said.
The expansion will also enable St. Bernard to step up its music and arts programs and host larger diocesan-wide meetings and events, Sabo said.
Some other key elements of the expansion, which is the second one since this Hillsboro Village campus opened in 1960, include:
• Moving the administrative offices and shifting the front entrance of the school to from 24th Avenue South to Bernard Street.
• Adding a new student support center, which will feature rooms dedicated to tutoring, guidance and counseling.
• Incorporating the latest technology into new classrooms, designing them to be flexible enough for group study, independent reading, and interactive learning.
The expansion will also help ease demand on the school's gym, which is the only large space in the building, and is constantly overbooked, Sabo said. "I think we have 17 teams vying for practice time," Sabo said.
The school's after care program, which serves about half of the student body, will also have more breathing room with the addition of the large, multi-purpose space.
St. Bernard has experienced an enrollment boom in recent years, growing from 225 students in 2006 to 340 this year. This has corresponded with the city's growth as a whole. "As more new families are moving to Nashville, St. Bernard comes up among the leaders," Sabo said. The school has worked hard to raise its profile in recent years, and the efforts have paid off; SBA is a "best kept secret" no more.
A lot of that is thanks to positive word of mouth publicity, especially among the Vanderbilt University community. "We have a strong network connection with Vandy," Sabo said, which is the largest private employer in Nashville. About half of the SBA student body has a parent affiliated with the university, located just a few blocks away.
St. Bernard's expansion is funded in large part by the school's recently completed Building Our Future capital campaign. The campaign exceeded its goal, raising more than $1.4 million from the St. Bernard community over the past year.
"We started the campaign with a large goal in mind, both in terms of the project and the dollars, and the response of our families, faculty and staff, alumni and friends has exceeded our expectations," said Sabo.
Even with the expansion plans, Sabo said, there are no plans to expand the enrollment cap beyond 350 students. "People like the intimacy of the school," he said. "That's one of the things that's special about St. Bernard."
Architectural design plans for the St. Bernard expansion, which were recently revealed to the public for the first time, were completed by Nashville-based Bauer-Askew Architects.
The project is set to break ground this summer and be completed by the fall of 2016, as the school begins its 150th anniversary celebration.
St. Bernard Academy is a Catholic, independent co-educational elementary school serving more than 340 students from pre-kindergarten to eighth grade. It was founded in 1866 by the Sisters of Mercy; since 1988 it has operated as an independent Catholic school in the Mercy tradition. More information is available at www.stbernard.org.

(Younger children will need help from parents to understand this bible study)
Dear Parents and children,
Please examine this history of Jesus. There is nothing more important than to understand where Jesus came from and the part his ancestors played in the blessings to Abraham, the blessing of his seed that would bless the world. We don't often refer to our parents seed in these days. We use scientific terms like ovum's and sperms and retain the word seed for plants and flowers. But the word seed is appropriate and applicable for it is the seed of human genealogy that makes us what we are in our features and mental makeup.
Like Sarah in today's story there are millions of women who cannot have children. They are not called barren as they once were for this was a term of reproach and disgrace. Because there are millions of women who cannot have children a method altering this has been discovered through 'in vitro fertilization' which is a process by which the ovum, the female reproductive organ, is enabled by hormones to produce more eggs than normal. The eggs are removed from the womb of a female and mixed with the sperm of a male from the semen of the woman's husband. The eggs are then returned to the womb where they hopefully begin the process of conception.
Our wish to continue the line of our ancestors is very strong. Few people who get married do not have children and the importance we place on our family tree is a reflection of our human history and our wish to identify with our family tree.
We will discuss this word seed later in The Advent of Jesus Christ but its importance and relevance begins with Abraham. Please help your children to understand this word and its meaning and how it applies to Jesus our Saviour. This article forms the first of a study in Bible School for Parents and Children. I am publishing it here because I would like your children, who go to high school or university, to read it.
First, let's talk about ancestors. Did you know that people who died thousands of years ago are still remembered and revered, even worshipped by peoples in many countries? Ancestral links in China, for instance, are stronger than the links on an iron chain. The links are not merely records of Chinese people who lived in the past; they are what distinguishes a Chinese person from everyone else in the world. The links are genetic, all the inherited characteristics and features of what a Chinese person looks like, feels like and behaves like, because a Chinese person has racial, cultural and ancestral links that are spiritual as well as physical. And because the Chinese have been a nation separated from the rest of the world by choice and blood they have retained links with their ancestors that are revered and inseparable.
I visited a village of shrines in Guang Dong Province in South China where the ancestors are remembered by name and history. They are a memorial to the first Chinese people who came to Guang Dong. But they are not only buildings and temples that record who the first settlers were, but places built and maintained and visited by living relations.
Did you know that on the seventh month of each year the ancestors of living Chinese families are believed to visit their relations. On this month Chinese families place food and drink outside their homes to welcome the spirits of the dead, who for one month only are allowed to pass the barrier between the spirit world and ours.
Chinese culture and religion is deeply embedded in the mind and spirit of ancestors such as Buddhist monks and Confucius. There are thousands of temples built to separate the physical material world from the spirit world. These are often built out of reach of civilization on the top of steep impassible terrain's and mountains edifices high above the world below. One wonders how they were built from the ground upwards. They seem to suggest that they were built from the sky. Other temples are visited frequently by the Chinese to offer prayers and incense to gods, Buddha's and ancestors. The writings and books of Confucius are also a link with the great thoughts and mind of a philosopher whose filial and spiritual thoughts greatly influence Chinese society today. So, as you can see, genealogy and ancestry is of vital importance to the mind and spirit of a nation that has its roots in ancient times when the world was built out of worshipping deities, (gods) revered parents and ancestors. But as you will see this was not only the case in China but in almost every country on the face of the earth. Nations have roots in the past that live in the present in the way people think and live their lives.
The ancestry of the Jewish nation comes from God's choice of Abraham to be the father of many nations and the bearer of blessings to the whole world through his offspring. This point in time is where we must begin the ancestry of Jesus Christ and how that ancestry differed from any other in its spiritual link with God, the Father of Jesus Christ.
The One true God chose Abraham and his seed to bless the world and deliver the world from superstition, ignorance, bewilderment and sin. By seed I mean offspring, the children of ancestors whose blood line went back to the Patriarchs (fathers) Abraham, Isaac and Jacob from whom came the twelve tribes of Israel.
Jesus has a genealogy that dates back to Abraham, who is the father of many nations, as God promised he would be. (Genesis 17:4 KJV) But, I should tell you that only Abraham's offspring through Isaac figures in the genealogy (ancestral history) of Jesus Christ. Abraham had another son, Ishamael who was born to his Egyptian slave girl Hagar. That came about because Abraham's wife Sarah was barren. She could not have children.
So, because Abraham's wife was barren, Abraham thought the promise God made to him must be through Ishmael. That was not what he wanted, nor what he expected but as Sarah grew old he came to accept that this was God's plan. He was however, greatly mistaken and in the next lesson you will learn why for God never goes back on his promises.
The essential fact of Abraham's offspring from which Jesus came is that Jesus is a human being. He is also called the Son of God. (Mark 1:1 NRSV) We will see why he is called the Son of God later but let us be under no doubt that Jesus Christ is a human being. (1John 4:2 KJV) He was flesh and blood like we are and subject to all the conditions of man, even death. We can assert this because Jesus was the offspring of Abraham, and Abraham's line to Mary, the mother of Jesus.

Sorry, this is a day late. I made everything this weekend, and then never had time to post yesterday since it was my birthday and then we went to the doctor to find out that we are having a baby girl 🙂
The February 2011 Daring Cooks' challenge was hosted by Lisa of Blueberry Girl. She challenged Daring Cooks to make Hiyashi Soba and Tempura. She has various sources for her challenge including japanesefood.about.com, pinkbites.com, and itsybitsyfoodies.com
I have actually made Vegetable and Shrimp Tempura a number of times. I actually think the first time was in my teens, and we fried everything up outside in my Dad's huge deep fryer. This time around there is no huge deep fryer just me using a pretty big Flaming Orange Dutch Oven 🙂 When I compared the recipe for this challenge with my go to Tempura recipe the only huge difference that I noticed was that this recipe had 1/2 cup less flour, but I decided to go with it. Everything turned out great. We fried up sliced sweet potato (one of my FAVORITES), sweet onion rings, whole mushrooms, and a bunch of shrimp. Instead of the usually thick coating of batter it was a nice thin crispy layer that was a nice change.
For the Hiyashi Soba aka Cold Soba Salad, I decided to change the noodles up a bit because Mike wasn't sure if he would like Soba Noodles and I was feeling that Udon would be better. I ended up cooking up some Udon Noodles, we served it with the Spicy Dipping Sauce and julienne slices of Orange and Red Pepper. This was also very yummy. Mike liked the sauce with the vegetables but he wasn't sure about it with noodles. I think that is because we decided to toss the noodles in the sauce and he used WAY too much in his bowl 🙂
Hiyashi Soba:
Recipes courtesy of Globetrotter Diaries and About.com-Japanese Food
Serves 4
Soba Noodles:
2 quarts (2 Liters) water + 1 cup cold water, separate
12 oz (340 g) dried soba (buckwheat) noodles (or any Asian thin noodle)
Cooking the noodles:
- Heat 2 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Add the noodles a small bundle at a time, stirring gently to separate. When the water returns to a full boil, add 1 cup of cold water. Repeat this twice. When the water returns to a full boil, check the noodles for doneness. You want to cook them until they are firm-tender. Do not overcook them.
- Drain the noodles in a colander and rinse well under cold running water until the noodles are cool. This not only stops the cooking process, but also removes the starch from the noodles. This is an essential part of soba noodle making. Once the noodles are cool, drain them and cover them with a damp kitchen towel and set them aside allowing them to cool completely.
Mentsuyu – Traditional dipping sauce:
2 cups (480ml) Kombu and Katsuobushi dashi (This can be bought in many forms from most Asian stores and you can make your own. Recipe is HERE.) Or a basic vegetable stock.
1/3 cup (80 ml) soy sauce or a low sodium soy sauce
1/3 cup (80 ml) mirin (sweet rice wine)
*Note: If you can't find Mirin, a substitute recipe can be found HERE
- Put mirin in a sauce pan and heat gently. Add soy sauce and dashi soup stock in the pan and bring to a boil. Take off the heat and cool. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Spicy Dipping Sauce:
¾ cup 70gm/2½ oz spring onions/green onions/scallions, finely chopped
3 tablespoons (45 ml) soy sauce
2 tablespoons (30 ml) rice vinegar
½ teaspoon (2½ ml) (4 ⅔ gm) (0.16 oz) granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon (1¼ ml) (1/8 gm) (0.005 oz) English mustard powder
1 tablespoon (15 ml) grape-seed oil or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon (15 ml) sesame oil (if you can't find this just omit from recipe.)
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste – roughly 1/3 a teaspoon of each
1. Shake all the ingredients together in a covered container. Once the salt has dissolved, add and shake in 2 tablespoons of water and season again if needed.
Common Hiyashi Soba Toppings:
- Thin omelet strips
- Ham
- Boiled chicken breasts
- Cucumber
- Boiled bean sprouts
- Tomatoes
- Toasted nori (Dried Seaweed)
- Green onions
- Wasabi powder
- Finely grated daikon (Japanese radish)
- Beni Shoga (Pickled Ginger)
All toppings should be julienne, finely diced or grated. Prepare and refrigerate covered until needed.
Traditionally soba is served on a bamboo basket tray, but if you don't have these, you can simply serve them on a plate or in a bowl. Divide up the noodles, laying them on your serving dishes. Sprinkle each one with nori. In small side bowl or cup, place 1/2 cup (120 ml) of dipping sauce into each. In separate small side dishes, serve each person a small amount of wasabi, grated daikon, and green onions.
The noodles are eaten by sprinkling the desired garnishes into the dipping sauce and eating the noodles by first dipping them into the sauce. Feel free to slurp away! Oishii!

Serves 4
1 egg yolk from a large egg
1 cup (240 ml) iced water
½ cup (120 ml) (70 gm) (2½ oz) plain (all purpose) flour, plus extra for dredging
½ cup (120 ml) (70 gm) (2½ oz) cornflour (also called cornstarch)
½ teaspoon (2½ ml) (2½ gm) (0.09 oz) baking powder
oil, for deep frying preferably vegetable
ice water bath, for the tempura batter (a larger bowl than what will be used for the tempura should be used. Fill the large bowl with ice and some water, set aside)
Very cold vegetables and seafood of your choice ie:
- Sweet potato, peeled, thinly sliced, blanched
- Carrot, peeled, thinly sliced diagonally
- Pumpkin, peeled, seeds removed, thinly sliced blanched
- Green beans, trimmed
- Green bell pepper/capsicum, seeds removed, cut into 2cm (¾ inch)-wide strips
- Assorted fresh mushrooms
- Eggplant cut into strips (traditionally it's fanned)
- Onions sliced
- Place the iced water into a mixing bowl. Lightly beat the egg yolk and gradually pour into the iced water, stirring (preferably with chopsticks) and blending well. Add flours and baking powder all at once, stroke a few times with chopsticks until the ingredients are loosely combined. The batter should be runny and lumpy. Place the bowl of batter in an ice water bath to keep it cold while you are frying the tempura. The batter as well as the vegetables and seafood have to be very cold. The temperature shock between the hot oil and the cold veggies help create a crispy tempura.
- Heat the oil in a large pan or a wok. For vegetables, the oil should be 320°F/160°C; for seafood it should be 340°F/170°C. It is more difficult to maintain a steady temperature and produce consistent tempura if you don't have a thermometer, but it can be done. You can test the oil by dropping a piece of batter into the hot oil. If it sinks a little bit and then immediately rises to the top, the oil is ready.
- Start with the vegetables, such as sweet potatoes, that won't leave a strong odor in the oil. Dip them in a shallow bowl of flour to lightly coat them and then dip them into the batter. Slide them into the hot oil, deep frying only a couple of pieces at a time so that the temperature of the oil does not drop.
- Place finished tempura pieces on a wire rack so that excess oil can drip off. Continue frying the other items, frequently scooping out any bits of batter to keep the oil clean and prevent the oil (and the remaining tempura) from getting a burned flavor.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor, but they can also be eaten cold.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Energy will sell up to 5 million barrels of crude oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, a move it said was to test the capabilities of the nation's emergency stockpile in a rapidly changing oil market.
In the first sale from the reserve since 1990 that is specifically designed as a test, the department will offer sour crude from its West Hackberry and Big Hill sites on the U.S. Gulf coast, with bids due March 14.
Surging U.S. shale oil production has changed the logistics of U.S. crude markets. Instead of moving oil from the Gulf up to the center of the country, as was traditionally the case, major pipelines have reversed course to move a glut of shale oil from places like North Dakota to points south.
"Due to the recent dramatic increase in domestic crude oil production, significant changes in the system have occurred," department spokesman Bill Gibbons said.
The test sale was needed to "appropriately assess the systems capabilities in the event of a disruption," he added.
The DOE said the test had been discussed for months internally and was timed so refineries interested in buying from the reserve can plan for when their facilities come out of annual maintenance cycles and crude oil stocks are needed in preparation for the switch over to summer grade gasoline.
The release would be equivalent to about one-quarter of the crude oil used in the United States every day, but the news still helped to push oil prices toward one-month lows.
The most recent emergency sale from the reserve was in 2011, in response to the civil war in Libya, when the Energy Department authorized a tap of 30 million barrels in coordination with the EU, which tapped a similar amount from its reserves.

Written quite a while ago, but never got to post :(
If you follow by blog you know
C and I have been sick for too long.
The last thing I feel like doing if cooking.
I don't even want to cook when I'm well.
But everyone was sick of fast food.
Supplies in the house had dwindled,
but I needed to find something easy and different.
I propped myself up in bed and flipped through the net,
not really expecting to find anything appealing.
Then I saw a photo of a Frittata.
Heard of the name, but never had one before.
Some of the ingredients wouldn't fly with the kids,
others I didn't have, some were on my do not eat list from my Doctor....but I figured I could tweak it to our liking.
I did and it was easy and it was cleaned up!
There, now can I go back to bed??
Here's my version of
Egg and Cheese Frittata
2 handfuls of diced ham (leftover from Easter ;) )
12 eggs
3 cups cut up Broccoli (I used frozen)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2½ tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 cup grated Mozzarella
¼ teaspoon black ground pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
Preheat oven to 425° F.
In a 9- to 12-inch oven-safe sauté pan (or iron skillet) over medium-high heat, cook the broccoli in olive oil until soft and very lightly browned, about 5-8 minutes. Add garlic and sauté another 2-3 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk eggs with the Parmesan, Mozzarella, ham, and pepper; set aside.
After broccoli/garlic is soft and cooked through, add egg/cheese mixture and let cook for 30 seconds over high heat. Transfer the pan to the heated oven and let the frittata cook until the eggs are just set. Should be about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and then turn the frittata out with a rubber spatula onto a serving plate.
Cut it like a pie and serve it up.
