Is it time for a change of perfume, a refresh of your fragrance and a new scent for the autumn season? Are you stuck with the same perfume? Is it musky, heavy and more suited to a cold winter night?

Fruity Fresh
If you are feeling like your scent is musky, dull and over powering then opt for a fruity and fresh fragrance to help you stand out at the next family get together, on your holiday, or even just an average day in the week.
For the most refreshing fragrance to compliment you and work well with the autumnally weather all around you then opt for this great value Apple Blossom EDP Spray.

Holiday Must Haves

Try the Summertime Ladies from Milton Lloyd Fragrance. The clue is in the name. This fragrance is perfect for your holiday and your summertime, even if it still has not arrived in Britain yet.

Full of exotic spices, woody fragrances and a powerful must. This is perfect gift for anyone, or you.
Sophisticated and Elegant
For something a little more sophisticated, a little less summer and more of a year round aftershave, go for this L'Homme from Yves Saint Laurent. No it is not the cheapest of aftershaves but it also means you know that you will get your money's worth.
Whichever perfume you choose, make sure it is right for you no matter how much you have to spend on it!

So I was an advocate for my daughter the other day. And how I acted made a difference in her experience of being heard, I believe.
About a month ago, my nearly four-year-old daughter came home from preschool telling me about a boy, who touched her on the nose and kissed her hand. She didn't like it.
"He kissed my hand mommy and touched my nose, and I said no," she told me. She also told me that he was from another country and didn't speak English yet.
Aside from thinking, oh, how sweet that a little boy is showing his appreciation for my daughter by employing the courtly tradition of hand-kissing, I thought nothing more about it. That is, until she mentioned it to me again, when I went to pick her up at school.
"He kissed my hand mommy and touched my nose, and I said no," she repeated when I greeted her at the door. The director of the school happened to be there.
"He kissed her hand and touched her nose, and she didn't like it," I told the director, who I should mention, I like very much, and does a good job.
"Oh, he is new to the school, and is affectionate, but he wouldn't hurt a fly, he's so sweet," was her calm response.
I told my daughter again, "Just tell him no. No touching, and tell the teacher."
Then, I moved on and didn't think twice about it.
Until last week. Last week, my daughter again mentioned this boy's name and said he was touching and poking her. Thinking, "Oh, the teacher said it was no big deal," I didn't make a fuss. Then she said this.
"Mommy, you have to get me Band-Aids. Five Band-Aids. Because (boy's name) hit me and touched me and poked my face and hurt me."
Now, she had my full attention (finally).
"When did this happen?" asked.
"While the teachers were cleaning the tables."
"Did you tell the teacher?"
She nodded.
"Did you tell the boy NO"?
"Why not?"
"Because he won't stop. He won't stop touching me. He'll never stop."
"Do you want me to call the teacher?"
"Yes, I do, mommy."
So I called the teacher and explained the situation. I was calm and collected, until the teacher said, "I wasn't aware of this; she didn't tell me, but this boy likes to be affectionate with his friends. He likes to touch friends but he's harmless."
It was then that I felt the fire fill my soul.
I responded as my daughter's advocate. The advocate she wanted and needed, and the advocate all mothers must be for their daughters. To give them the voices they need.
So here's what I said to the very sweet teacher:
"I don't care that this boy 'wouldn't hurt a fly,' and likes to touch his friends. It is hurting my daughter because when a person's experience is invalidated or ignored it teaches them to be victims. I will not allow that to happen."
The teacher was silent, and I continued.
"My daughter's boundaries are being abused, and if nobody does anything, including the teachers, than they are complicit in it, and I won't allow that."
Then, I put my daughter on the phone with the teacher and the teacher told her to please tell a teacher if this happens again with him or anyone, and to tell the person "no."
I said, "The teacher will make sure you are protected, but you have to speak up."
The teacher suggested to me that my daughter and the child be separated. I said, yes, but only if my daughter is not made to feel uncomfortable. That's when I learned that the child was already separated from some of his "friends" during circle time. The teacher said, "We're working with him." My response? "That's not my problem, and it will not become my daughter's problem either."
So maybe some people believe the boy is sweet and he wouldn't hurt a fly. But he did hurt my daughter. He hurt her by making her think it was OK for him to broach her boundaries, touch her and that everybody was complicit in it (he's so harmless), so nothing would happen to him, so why even bother speaking up. That's the message my daughter received.
And that? That is just not acceptable!! That's how you get to a Steubenville. Because what happens when boundaries are ignored; when a girl speaks up and is ignored? What happens is that society is teaching her that her voice won't be heard. And I am determined that will NOT be my daughter's experience. Not while I can give her the voice she needs, and the power to use it.
And now I know something else. Our daughters must start having a voice that is heard early. Like in preschool.
If we wait for a person like Sheryl Sandberg to tell them to "lean in" and ask for their rightful place at the table when our daughter's are in their 20s, or even in their teens, well, then it is just too late.
How can we give girls a voice so they are not made to feel like they can't be heard? The more I see and hear and the more Steubenvilles there are, the more I believe that our earliest work of empowerment needs to start with young girls, not teenagers, not young women, but young girls.

Kavagram Photo App Released For Android Devices
Pacific Islands Development Program, East-West Center With Support From Center for Pacific Islands Studies, University of Hawai'i
News Release
Kava Up, LL Kaneohe, HI
April 12, 2015
The long awaited release of Kavagram for Android devices is finally here.
Kavagram developer Sonny Stevenson announced via Kavagram's social media channels that Android users can now download the popular app from the Google Play store for free. Kavagram for Apple devices has been available since June 16th, 2014.
Kavagram is a photo app that allows users to embellish their pictures by adding Polynesian designs, images, and themes to promote cultural pride. Islanders and island-loving people from all over the world are downloading and using Kavagram to show pride in their family, community, and culture. Most recently, San Diego Charger Manti Te'o, who is of Samoan decent and raised in Hawaii, posted a "Kavagrammed" photo showing his love for his Hawaiian home.
"I am glad to finally say that Kavagram for Android is here." says Stevenson. "After the initial launch of the Apple version, users from all over the world were asking for an Android release. We've seen downloads from not only the Pacific, but from all over the U.S., Europe, South America, Asia. It's been great to see it take off, but even better to know just how proud Polynesians and Pacific Islanders are of our rich and beautiful cultures. The idea of Kavagram was born out of love of my culture, the Samoan culture, and I am happy to see that others feel the same way about their cultures." says Stevenson.
Stevenson is from Pago Pago, American Samoa and is currently residing in Kaneohe, Hawaii. He received his Masters Degree in Software Engineering from Arizona State University and created his business Kava Up, LLC. to develop technology solutions for Polynesian and Island communities.

303 MullenLowe Claims Best Radio Ads Of 2017 At Siren Awards
303 MullenLowe's Tommy Medalia and Joe Hawkins have won Gold and Silver at the 2017 Siren Awards in Melbourne.
The pair claimed the award wins for a funny series of ads designed to change driver behaviour for the Road Safety Commission called 'Time with Mum'.
Hawkins (who now works for Marketforce) and Medalia created the three ads at 303 MullenLowe to illustrate what happens when you lose your licence and you're at the mercy of your mum and friends for lifts.
All three spots – 'Window', 'Pilates' and 'Out of Options' won the overall Gold Siren and the Silver Siren for best radio campaign (three or more ads in a campaign).
Medalia and Hawkins receive automatic entry for the winning ads into the Cannes Advertising Lions Festival in June. The creatives and their client, the Road Safety Commission, will receive accommodation, airfares and delegate passes to attend the event.
The Silver Siren award in the single category went to Evan Roberts and Stephen de Wolf from Clemenger BBDO Melbourne for the ad 'Every Speed has a Consequence' for the Transport Accident Commission (Victoria).
The ad reminds drivers that slowing down can completely change the outcome of a road accident.
Prolific Siren award winner Paul Le Couteur of Flagstaff Studios took out the Silver Siren in the craft category for production of the ad 'Ticking Clock' for Victoria Bitter, created to remind tradies that knock-off time is beer o'clock.
The Siren $5,000 Client Award, judged by an industry panel of clients rather than the Siren Creative Council, is chosen from the five overall 2017 round winners, and was won by Richard Shaw and Russell Fox from Clemenger BBDO Melbourne with the 'Ticking Clock' ad for Victoria Bitter.
Shaw and Fox worked closely with Paul le Couteur to produce the winning craft entry.
You can listen to all of the winning ads here.
At the presentation of the Siren Awards, Commercial Radio Australia (CRA) CEO Joan Warner said: "This year's finalists were outstanding and the radio industry is proud to support the creative talent throughout Australia."
The 13th annual Siren Awards, run by CRA, recognise the best radio advertising in Australia. The 2017 awards were hosted by stand-up comedian and Fox FM Melbourne breakfast presenter Dave Thornton at Alumbra at Docklands in Melbourne.
The Gold Siren and the Silver Siren winners across the craft, single and radio campaign categories were selected from hundreds of entries throughout 2016-17 over five rounds, plus a final call.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
More Than 12,300 Women Nationwide to Receive Monetary Relief in Landmark Case
NEW YORK, N.Y. – The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today announced that, pursuant to a court-filed consent decree, telecommunications giant Verizon Communications, Inc. will pay approximately $48.9 million to 12,326 current and former female employees in 13 states and the District of Columbia as part of a 2002 settlement of a landmark class action lawsuit alleging pregnancy discrimination against Verizon predecessor telephone companies NYNEX and Bell Atlantic.
EEOC and New York-based Verizon jointly submitted a final report today to U.S. District Court Judge Denny Chin informing him that the claims process was completed in December 2004 and the total compensation paid to date under the settlement is more than $25.3 million. EEOC submitted a separate letter informing the court that it projected that an additional $23.6 million would be paid in future pension benefits. The size of the class and estimated value of monetary benefits make this the largest EEOC settlement of its kind involving pregnancy-related service credit adjustments. EEOC litigated the cases along with two unions representing the non-managerial employees, the Communications Workers of America and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
The consent decree resolved employment discrimination lawsuits filed by the EEOC's New York District Office in 1997 and 1999 against Bell Atlantic and NYNEX (now Verizon), and their predecessor companies and related subsidiaries. The suits alleged that the companies violated Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, and the Civil Rights Act of 1991, by denying female employees service credit related to pregnancy and maternity leaves of absence taken between July 2, 1965 and April 28, 1979, and care for newborn children leaves of absence taken between July 2, 1965 and December 31, 1983.
"As retirement benefits become increasingly important to today's workers, it is critical to fight back when discrimination occurs," said EEOC's New York District Director Spencer H. Lewis, Jr. "Employers should be aware that pregnancy discrimination in regard to benefits is just not acceptable – to workers and to the EEOC."
CWA Vice President Christopher M. Shelton noted, "CWA has been involved for many years in efforts to eliminate pregnancy discrimination in the workplace. This case represents an important victory for working women who should not have had to sacrifice their pension benefits because they had children." CWA represents nearly 70,000 clerical, sales, service and technical workers at Verizon, many of whom are located in the states covered by the lawsuit.
The consent decree covers all women employed at any time since January 8, 1994, by any former Bell Atlantic or NYNEX (now Verizon) company located in Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, D.C., and/or West Virginia, and who took a pregnancy or maternity-related leave of absence between July 2, 1965 and April 28, 1979, and/or a leave of absence for the care of a newborn child (CNC) between July 2, 1965 and December 31, 1983.
EEOC Regional Attorney Elizabeth Grossman, who oversaw the litigation effort, said, "We are pleased that so many women were able to come forward and participate in this settlement. Many of them will be seeing its results in their pension checks each month for years to come."
Under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, which amended Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, employment discrimination on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions constitutes unlawful sex discrimination. In addition to prohibiting sex-based discrimination, Title VII prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, or national origin.
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing the federal laws prohibiting discrimination in employment based on race, color, sex (including sexual harassment and pregnancy), religion, national origin, age, disability, and retaliation. Further information about the Commission is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Building a Simple Greenhouse for Stress-Free Gardening
You can grow a wonderful, full garden the hard way or you can do it the easy way. The easy way of gardening is to build a greenhouse for the foods that you want to grow.
There are dozens of reasons why you should make this investment, one of them being that you can avoid having to buy the produce at the store that can be questionable.
You don't know where that produce came from, whether or not it was sprayed with pesticides or even if it's GMO free. By having a greenhouse, you can grow all the foods you want – knowing that they're healthy and good for you to eat.
Materials Needed to Build a Greenhouse
Before you decide to go out and get the materials, you need to know what size you're going to build your greenhouse because that will affect your materials list.
You also need to know what tools that you need to have on hand. Most people think you have to be a building genius or have a ton of tools to build a greenhouse, but that's not true.
You can follow along with some simple, easy to build plans if that's what you want. You can use any one of the plans offered by greenhouse enthusiast Bill Keene for some help constructing yours.
With the kind of tools that you need, you'll have to have a hammer, nails, a saw and a drill. Those are the basics only. Next, you'd need to choose the type of frame you want to use for your greenhouse.
The most commonly used type is wood. But you can't just get any kind of wood. You must use pressure treated. The wood is going to be exposed to the elements.
It will have to withstand the heat of the sun, the cold of the winter and rainy days. These elements will quickly cause wood that's not pressure treated to become damaged and eventually destroyed.
Pressure treated wood can stand up to the elements for decades and you want your greenhouse to last. You'll have to choose the type of covering that you want for your greenhouse.
Some coverings are more expensive than others. Glass is the covering that's chosen more often than not for its ability to let light in. However, glass is the most expensive and it's not without problems.
It can crack easier and then it will have to be replaced. Plexiglass is another choice for covering, but it only stands up to the elements for about a decade and then you have to redo it.
A more common and fairly inexpensive covering choice is plastic. You can get hard or soft plastic and either one will allow plenty of light to come through for the plants.
You'll have to decide whether or not you're going to wire your greenhouse with electricity or not. You'll also need hinges for your door.
Size and Location for Your Greenhouse
You can build a greenhouse in whatever size you want if you're doing it yourself. You'll want to first determine where you're going to set up the structure and that can be helpful when determining the size.
You'll also want to consider exactly what you're going to be growing in your greenhouse. Different crops will need different dimensions in order to grow well. You don't want to cramp your garden.
If you're only interested in having a smaller garden, then you don't have to have a large greenhouse. But consider the density of the items that you're going to be placing in the greenhouse.
If you overcrowd the plants, they won't get the air circulation that they need so they'll end up not growing well. You'll also need to make sure that you allow for air circulation between the plants and the walls of the structure.
You can't have plants that are growing right up against the walls because they won't be getting enough air. You'll also need to make sure that you allow for enough air circulation between the rows of plants.
You can't have them butting right up against the row in front of or behind them. Take into consideration how much food you want to produce. If you have a large family and you want to feed them from the garden year round, then go with a larger greenhouse.
If you want to sell some of the food items that you grow, then you'll want to go with the bigger size. You'll have to plot out the dimensions for your greenhouse. You'll also need to know the location where you're going to place it.
If you have a tall house such as one with vaulted ceilings or two stories, the shadow cast from the back of these houses, can block out the sun if you place a greenhouse too close.
So you'll need to scout the location first. Pay attention to where the sun hits the spot you want to build. Check to make sure the entire spot can get good sun coverage.
It's always best to put a greenhouse on the south end of your home if you're putting it in the backyard. When you put it on the south side, your greenhouse will get more of the day's sunlight.
Where you put your greenhouse should have some wind protection, too if you plan on using lightweight materials to build it with. You'll also want to make sure the ground is level, you have close proximity to an irrigation source, and you don't build it too close to trees that can block the sun or have falling limbs that can tear up your building.
Ventilating Your Greenhouse
When you build a greenhouse, you have to make sure you have it properly ventilated. If it's not, that can cause some problems for the plants that you're growing.
Adding ventilation to your greenhouse isn't a complicated process but it's an important part of whether or not your garden will be successful. Not having adequate ventilation for your plants can make or break your greenhouse.
You'll want to know the best way to prepare the ventilation and you can follow along in the guidance offered by greenhouse planner Bill Keene to make sure yours is done the right way.
You need ventilation to be able to keep the temperature in the greenhouse at a temperature that's good for your plants to be able to grow. When you don't have ventilation set up the right way, your plants can suffer from temperatures that are too high.
In some cases, this will cause the plants to wilt but in other cases, it can lead to the death of the plants. Ventilation helps to keep the temperature inside the greenhouse at a steady level.
If you don't have the ventilation right, you can create an atmosphere that's too hot regardless of what it's like outside. That means that even in the winter you can overheat your plants if your greenhouse doesn't have decent ventilation.
When you have a good ventilation set up, it can push out the heat that tends to build up beyond your plants' tolerance level. Plus, you need the right kind of ventilation system in place so that your plants are allowed to have fresh air.
They need the fresh air as part of their growing cycle. But ventilation is also about what it allows in and what it keeps out. When you have a good system set up for your greenhouse, it works well to keep pests from being able to get in and attack your plants.
At the same time, however, it works to allow the proper amount of pollination to take place. The way that you have the fan system in your ventilation set up can prevent problems and encourage growth if it's done well.
The amount of vents you need and the location of them will all depend on how big your greenhouse is and how you've set it up. Keep in mind that by having fresh air flow through your greenhouse, you set the foundation for your plants to be able to go through the photosynthesizing process.
Without that important step, your plants won't be able to survive.
The Heating System for Your Greenhouse
When it comes to choosing a way to heat your greenhouse, there are a few things that you'll have to consider first. The size of your greenhouse will factor into what type of heating system you'll want to use since some are better for heating smaller rather than larger spaces.
It will also depend on whether or not your greenhouse has any electricity as to the type of heating method that you'll be able to use. There are dozens of styles of heaters that you can choose to keep your greenhouse at a steady growing temperature when the weather is too cold for them to be able to thrive.
Plus, having heat in your greenhouse enables you to be able to work there in caring for the plants. You can use portable heaters for your greenhouse, tube heaters, mats, gas heaters and more.
There are heaters that you can mount on the ceiling or on the wall so that they're not taking up any additional space in the building. Again, this will depend on whether or not you have electricity which is one of the most common ways of making sure the heating needs are met.
But if you don't want to have electricity in your greenhouse, there are still ways that you can make sure the temperature stays good for your plants. One way is by using a process known as thermal mass.
When you use this method, it means that you use items that draw heat from the sun. You can do this by choosing items that the sun would normally heat. When you use this method, the sun heats these items during the day and then in the evening, as it cools off, these items release the heat it trapped from the sun earlier that day.
To use this thermal mass method, you would need to have small rocks layered in the bottom of your greenhouse to absorb the sun's rays. You can also use black paint on objects to draw in the sun's rays for later distribution.
The black paint captures the heat from the sun. The objects that you paint black can be barrels or cinder blocks. Some people use black ceramic to capture the sun's heat.
You can use solar panels in the top of your greenhouse. Many people don't use this method because of the expense involved. Some say you can achieve fast results using composting. However, composting is a method that must be watched rigidly as it does have a high combustion rate if not handled properly.
Irrigation for Your Greenhouse
Your plants will need regular watering times and with a greenhouse, that can easily become quite a chore. That's why you want to know how you're going to set up the irrigation from the moment you decide to build.
You can look at the plans for greenhouses by Bill Keene for help in learning how to set up proper irrigation. One of the popular methods used is called drip tubing. Using this way allows the water to get right to the plants.
Not only are they an extremely accurate way of watering your plants but they great for using only the water that's necessary and no more. They can be set up so that they're on a timer as well as being set up on a sensor.
They'll be able to turn on when it's time to water and then shut off when the watering is done. To set up this method, you'll need to use piping. The most popular ones use PVC pipes.
Misters are another way that you can set up the irrigation for your greenhouse. This method works like you see in the produce section of your local grocery store. The water is sprinkled down on the plants at timed intervals.
This method is fairly inexpensive because you use less water to reach a bigger area of the greenhouse. Misting is also good for areas where there's a lot of humidity. Not only do they water the plants, but they can keep the temperature levels lower.
Another popular method for watering greenhouses is called mat irrigation. With this type of watering system, you have a steady influx of water to the plants. It's done using a mat that's connected to water lines.
Through these water lines, the mats are always infused with water so they stay wet. When your plants are on these mats, they'll pull the moisture that they need. What's good about this type of irrigation system is that the plants don't ever become saturated because they only take in the water that they need.
The only drawback to using a mat irrigation system is that the constant moisture provides a breeding ground for the growth of mold or other fungal invasions. By using an irrigation system, you can consistently give your plants the water that they need without waste.

We believe that the children of today are the citizens of tomorrow and that it is important to get them interested in the development of their town, and to listen to their views on how they want the town to be when they are grown up.
To further these ideas, for the last three years we have set a competition for Year Eight students in our local schools to run in conjunction with their Citizenship studies.
Subjects so far have been:-
* "Write an essay on how you would like to see Newcastle Town Centre develop over the next ten years".
* "Design an Eco-garden in your school grounds, to include a survey as it is now, a plan of the proposed garden and a breakdown of the costs involved."
* "Produce a scrapbook depicting various aspects of your school."
We have been delighted in the interest shown by many schools and the enthusiasm and originality shown by the students.
This year, for the first time, we have set a separate competition for pupils at the Special Schools in the area. We look forward to examining their entries in due course.
So far, prizes have been awarded to Sir Thomas Boughey School, Wolstanton High School, St. John Fisher School and Maryhill High School.
The subject set for the 2009 competition will be to devise a project in which the school can become involved with the local community, to their mutual benefit.
We hope that all those schools who have entered before will again compete. We would be particularly pleased to receive entries from any local schools who have not previously participated.

I've read several materials on startup failures including posts by Paul Graham and Steve Blank on the topic. I'm curious what other reasons aside from lack of customer development, product market fit and co-founder problems. Anything to add? Thanks!
Biggest is probably the product-market fit. Is your product or service helping (enough) people solve a problem or fulfill a need?
This is the biggest question a startup is trying to answer. You have to answer this question within a "finite time" and with "limited resources".
So it really comes down to how focused a startup is in answering this question. If you lose focus with other stuff (co-founder issues, business cards, spending too much time making the product beautiful or whatever else) you are going to run out of time and resources and you have lost the game.
I interview some of the very successful digital entrepreneurs on the web that respond to questions like this. Check out the interviews here: http://treptalks.com
Poor hiring. I cannot stress enough that the people you hire represent your company and putting the wrong people in key roles will cause the business to collapse.
No Business Model.
Many of the answers already provided are valid. Many startups fail because not enough people want, or will pay for, the product. Others fail because they are unable to generate enough revenue to sustain before they run out of money. In my experience I've also seen startups with great ideas and some traction (evidence of a product-market-message-fit) fail because the entrepreneur couldn't get out of his or her own way. Mindset is key. A willingness to iterate and pivot where necessary is key. A realization that you don't know what you don't know that you don't know as an entrepreneur - and the commitment to fill in the missing bits and pieces is essential.
Good question (because if you know why startups fail, you could minimize - not prevent - the risks of failing for the same reasons).
The best answer (to most questions) is the one based on data (not opinions) as the famous/funny quote goes: "I believe in GOD, all others must bring data". Therefore 'My' answer is based on research done by CBInsights in which they reviewed 101 postmortems of startups that failed and then deduced the top 20 reasons. Here's the link:
Here's the top 10 reasons:
1. No market need.
2. Ran out of cash.
3. Not the right team (I would put this as #2 - opinion based on working with over 100 startups).
4. Get outcompeted.
5. Pricing / cost issues.
6. User unfriendly product (I would move more down the list)
7. Product without a business model (I would move this to #3)
8. Poor Marketing.
9. Ignore Customers (I think this is very similar to #1)
10. Product Mistimed.
Happy to help on any other issue you might have
Best of luck

Bernardo Rosselino
FREE Catholic Classes
(Properly BERNARDO DI MATTEO GAMBARELLI.)
B. at Florence, 1409; d. 1464. Rosselino occupies the first place among the architects and sculptors of second rank who flourished during the Early Renaissance. As an architect he built the Rucellai palace at Florence from the plans of his celebrated countryman Leon Battista Alberti, and had an important share in the working out of the details. Another striking work is the façade of the building of the Fraternità della Misericordia at Arezzo which he erected on a Gothic substructure. He won his greatest fame as an architect, however, while in the service of Nicholas V and Pius II. During the pontificate of Nicholas V he aided Alberti in working for the pope's plans respecting a new Church of St. Peter and the reconstruction of the Vatican. The choir which Rosselino began was used later by Bramante. At the order of Pius II he built in the pope's native town Castel Corsignano, later called Pienza, a cathedral, a palace, and a residence for a bishop. At the pope's request the cathedral was erected as a Gothic church with all the aisles of the same height, like the Gothic churches of Austria. He also, at the pope's command, prepared the designs for the Palazzo Nerucci and the beautiful Palazzo Piccolomini at Siena.
Rosselino shows his great architectural talent in his work as sculptor ; his importance for the sculpture of the Early Renaissance rests more in the structure as a whole and in the relation of the parts than upon the execution of individual figures, which still showed lack of life and spirit. This is especially true of the sepulchral monuments of Florence to which he gave their permanent form. The tomb he built to the Florentine secretary of State, Leonardo Bruni, in Santa Croce at Florence, was used as a model throughout the entire Early Renaissance. Bruni is represented as lying with the head slightly turned on a raised sarcophagus in a niche ; in the semicircular background of the niche the Madonna and Child are shown with two worshipping angels. Among other works of the same character he designed the tomb of Beata Villana in the Church of Maria Novella at Florence, that of the jurist, Filippo Lazzari, in the Church of San Domenico at Pistoja, a richly ornamented marble doorway in the Palazzo Publico at Siena, and a terra cotta panel representing the Annunciation in the cathedral at Arezzo.

#JoinUs today at 20:05CET for our LIVE Rolling Blog of Die Entscheidungsshow – the Swiss National Final, where six acts will be battling it out for that all important ticket to Kyiv.
Just refresh this page from 20:05CET on a regular basis and join me, Richard Taylor to get all my views on the proceedings.
ROLLING BLOG – LIVE from 20:05CET
And we are go! As ever the sensational Sven is on hand to guide us through the proceedings. We are now been introduced to the finalists. Videos of their Live Check performances can be seen below.
Song 1: Nadya – The Fire In The Sky
The opening of this performance is very mean and moody. The power and emotion flows throughout this entry. While at times it is performed very theatrically, this would work (it pains for me to say) better than are entry from the United Kingdom this year. I was worried that this would be operatic after her intro, however the use of her vocal range was more suitably used for this particular song. I'd love to see this in Kyiv.
Song 2: Ginta Biku – Cet air la
This opens with words appearing on the back screen – something that is becomi9ng more and more common at the Eurovision Song Contest these days. The hologram element from Armenia's performance in Stockholm is also incorporated. While this is a nice, modern upbeat dance type number, which be seen as Eurovisionary, I can't see it working unfortunately – but that is a personal opinion!
Song 3: Michele – Two Faces
Will someone please tell Michele to slow down and breathe! This is one hell of a lights show with beams, LEDs and moving lights. Michele is a winner of The Voice Kids in Germany – but I want to say the song is too adult for her. Yes it's modern, which fits in with her youthful side, but there is something missing that gels the performer and song together.
Song 4: Freschta – Gold
If it wasn't for the golden phoenix flying around in the background, I'd have to say I find this very bland and boring most of the time after such an energetic entry beforehand. Freschta's entry could sit happily side by side with Lucie Jones from the United Kingdom. I also felt at times she was severely out of tune – something that won't help her in the voting.
Song 5: Shana Pearson – Exodus
While this is a bit of a light show like Song 3, the camera does focus on Shana a lot more. Yes it's modern and works compared to previously modern songs in this National Final – see I'm not against modern songs! If Exodus was staged correctly and featured slightly less lighting, this could work in Kyiv – it is Eurovisionary after all.
Song 6: Timebelle – Apollo
Timebelle is the only band we will see this evening after the first five performers were all soloists. Apollo certainly fits the James Bond theme song element – this would grab the movie fans voting in Switzerland tonight. Visually this could help Timebelle, but it does lack some of the emotion you would expect from a James Bond type theme. I can see this as a contender up there with Nadya.
The voting lines are now open for the residents of Switzerland to select their entry for the Eurovision Song Contest in Kyiv.
Just over 3mins left to vote now at 21:20CET!!! At 21:23CET, the voting has now CLOSED!!! We will know who has the ticket to Kyiv in the next 15mins or so!!!
Interval: Sebalter
After his appearance in the final in Copenhagen 2014, he is back with Hunter Of Stars. After a quick interview with Sven, Sebalter performs some of his new material – including Weeping Willow.
The Results Are In…
So the results are in and we have a winner. The act going forward to Kyiv is Timebelle with their song Apollo.
Please join me this forthcoming Thursday as I'll guide you through the German National Final, here on Eurovision Ireland.

Everyone has a holy grail or two. The item — or items — that elude them, tantalize them, tease them. Maybe it's something huge like a valuable antique baseball card, or an original seat from Yankee Stadium.
Maybe it's something innocuous but elusive, something from their childhood.
But whatever it is, you're always on the lookout for it, scanning eBay, keeping a peripheral eye on the shelves at your local supermarket or grocery store, finding yourself pulled into those "antique markets/4,678 dealers under one roof!" places you may drive by one day while on the road.
My "holy grail" list is reasonably small and eclectic (hey, just like me!).
But the latest addition to it is this:
That's right. I want an Operation Panda T-shirt (no, not the whole group of guys, just the shirt). I want to wear it in my home office (a fancy name for the crappy Staples desk and Dell laptop where I spend the bulk of my time) and remember how everyone in my 2009 online fantasy league laughed (sure it was online but I HEARD THEM LAUGH) when I chose Pablo Sandoval with my second overall pick in the draft.
I am not jumping on the Pablo Sandoval bandwagon, by the way. I've been following the big huggy bear's career since he was a 19-year-old infielder who appeared in the first Minor League All-Stars Futures Game I ever covered, in Pittsburgh in 2006. (Though this picture was from his 2008 Futures appearance in NYC). I kept following as he moved back behind the plate to his favorite position, catcher, and helped lead one of the best Minor League rotations to great heights in the California League in 2008, catching up with him briefly during the Carolina-California League All-Star Game in Myrtle Beach (below, with his San Jose pitcher Jesse English) before his ascent to the big leagues that September.
I admired his bubbly sense of humor and his pride in his brand new metal-mouth full of braces that he flashed in January 2009 at last year's Rookie Career Development Program. And when I heard he'd gotten a bad-bounce groundball in the mouth the following spring, the first thing I thought was "Oh no, his braces!!!!!!"
But the Panda T-shirt is not the only item on my holy grail list (though it is the only one that is baseball-related).
Last night I managed to hit the payload while heading home from dinner with relatives in New Jersey, as we swung into the parking lot of a Shop Rite on Route 1 and cleaned them out of all of the Snapple Mint Iced Tea:
Other items I am always looking for:
The original Clairol Herbal Essence shampoo. I don't mean any of that new "Herbal EssenceS" crap that comes in every color and nasty fruity scent. We're talking the real green here, the oddly shaped bottle with the emerald gold that smelled like spring. I saw it on eBay for like $40. $40 for a bottle of 10-year-old shampoo???
Also on the lookout for Coconut Yoo Hoo. The only place I ever saw it was at a gas station convenience store in Clearwater, Florida, right at the end of the Courtney Campbell Causeway. My sister and I would stop there for six-packs of Coconut Yoo Hoo and bingo lottery tickets. Rumor has it that the product was bought out by this other company that calls it Koko Blanco but I can't find that anywhere either.
One item that was long on my list but now is apparently available on eBay for a reasonably affordable price ($65 per bottle … hey, once upon a time you could only find it for $500 a pop) is my "signature scent" perfume, Andiamo by Borghese. To this day I will run into people I knew when I was in my 20s or even teens who will hug me and say "you still smell like you." I'm down to my last four bottles of the precious and may eventually have to go back to eBay to stock up my stash but I hold out hope that at some point in the meantime, the folks at Borghese will bring it back, even for a limited time, so I can not only buy the bottles but also the bubble bath and body lotions that use to be part of the gift set!
So what are YOUR Holy Grail items? Share them here, you never know who may have one just lying around that they might want to share!!! (And if anyone happens to have a bottle of Herbal Essence at the back of their closer, you know where to find me!!!)

Summary: Dracula: The Real Story follows the intriguing life of the notorious Vlad Dracula, a little-known fifteenth century Romanian prince. Dracula's saga as hostage, fugitive, and prisoner molded him into an influential and feared warlord caught between the powerful Ottoman and European Empires. His clever and ruthless war tactics — which earned him the savage nickname Vlad the Impaler — helped preserve his homeland and earned him respect from his enemies and compatriots alike. Many people today think of Dracula as a bloodsucking night demon that terrorized the living. Many Romanians of the fifteenth century considered him a hero who gave his life for his country. But to others, he was one of the cruelest villains of all time. Was he a bloodsucker, a hero, or a villain? Perhaps he was all three.
"A narrative that retains its crispness without sacrificing its moments of drama, this biography provides a balanced and accurate overview of Vlad the Impaler (Dracula), and is an excellent resource for young students." - Dr. Elizabeth Miller, President of the Canadian Chapter of the Transylvanian Society of Dracula
"Want to get juveniles interested in history? Begin with Dracula: The Real Story: there's no better way of creating this interest than with a work of nonfiction that uses the specter of a real-life 'vampire' and then brings it to life with vivid, rich and interactive descriptions! Dracula: The Real Story is a juvenile biography at its best: and because the subject involves a somewhat sinister figure, it'll attract more leisure readers in the 9-12 age group than most biographies." - D. Donovan, eBook Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

Man Develops Own Credit Card Contract–Then Sues Bank For Not Sticking to Terms
When most people get frustrated with the terms on their credit card accounts, they rip up the contracts, click out of the pages or vent about it to their friends. Dmitry Argarkov had a different idea.
Instead of grudgingly agreeing to the terms of his contract, this Russian man decided to write his own terms to the credit card agreement. When the credit card company broke the terms of his new contract, he decided to sue them for much more than what he owes on his card.
Argarkov created the new terms for his credit card before receiving the card in hand. Sometime after he sent the agreement to the bank, the bank issued a card without reading the fine print of his contract. (Sounds like something they complain about, doesn't it?)
Argarkov's new terms granted him no interest, no fees and no credit limit.
When the bank tried to sue him for those charges and cancel his credit card, he fought back with vengeance.
The judge ruled that Argarkov had to pay his outstanding balance, equivalent to approximately $575, but he waived the fees the bank was demanding.
When the bank was confronted about the new contract, they said that they had not read it.
What makes this case even more unique is that in the contract, Argarkov included a fee for cancelling the credit card. Thus, he is now suing the bank for close to $730,000 in accordance with the terms he laid out.
The bank doesn't seem terribly worried about the case.
Founder of Tinkoff Credit Systems, Oleg Tinkov, recently tweeted, "According to our lawyers, he is going to get not 24 million rubles, but 4 years in prison for fraud. Now it's a matter of principle for @tcsbank."
Perhaps the bank should have just taken its own advice and read the contract to begin with.

Worried about your child spending too much time on digital devises? It is a serious concern for many parents when they get complains of hurting eyes. Your child or even you could be having Computer Vision Syndrome, (CVS) or Digital Eye Strain, a recent epidemic affecting our entire population.
CVS has increased with advent of digital devices such as smart phones, tablets, and monitors. This near focus causes accommodation* issues that can cause visual disturbances after prolonged use.
Accommodative esotropia is a condition that usually affects farsighted people. There are two systems that must work together in the brain for the eyes to work together and see properly: accommodation (focusing) and convergence (eye turning). When the eyes turn in to point at something up close, keeping it single rather than double, they also focus for that same distance to make the object clear. General distance only glasses, especially for the younger population, may not correct for these issues.
Studies have shown that the average American spends nearly seven hours focusing on some type of digital device, whether be it computer screens, tablets, e-readers, or smart phones. This puts an enormous strain on the visual system, which is not corrected by simple distance glasses correction.
The most common symptoms associated with Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) or Digital Eye Strain are1:
- eyestrain
- headaches
- blurred vision
- dry eyes
- neck and shoulder pain
These symptoms may be caused by:
- poor lighting
- glare on a digital screen
- improper viewing distances
- poor seating posture
- uncorrected vision problems
- a combination of these factors
To help alleviate this strain, remember the 20-20-20 rule: For every 20 minutes of near work, take a 20 minute break, to focus at something at least 20 feet away.
Your optometrist can also help alleviate these symptoms with custom Digital Eye Strain Prescription lenses that can reduce the strain from computer strain throughout the day. These lenses are highly recommended for anyone using more than 4-6 hours at a computer screen or digital device.
CVS or Digital Eye Strain can be diagnosed by your optometrist with the following tests:
- Distance and near Visual Acuity
- Manifest Refraction
- Patient History
- Binocular and accommodation visual testing
CVS also affects the health of the ocular surface, and can lead to a Tear Film Deficiency. Your tear film is the first refractive surface of the eye, and accounts for a large portion of your visual performance. Several vision issues patients have are not related to a glasses prescription, but due to a tear film deficiency. Symptoms include:
- Fluctuations in vision
- Burning or irritation
- Watery eyes
- Dryness
- Tired eyes, especially after prolonged computer use
- The need for frequent artificial tears or eye drops
- Red eyes
When you stare at a computer screen or digital device, your blink reduces by as much as 70%. Your blinking mechanism is responsible for preventing your healthy tear film from evaporating from your eye. With reduced blinking, your tear film becomes unstable, and can lead to a tear film deficiency. Reduced blink rate can also cause damage to you meibomian glands, which are located on your upper and lower lids, and are responsible for keeping a healthy tear film.
Your optometrist can diagnose tear film deficiency due to CVS by performing medical testing in the office including:
- Slit lamp examination – using a microscope to evaluate the tear film, conjunctiva and corneal tissues.
- Vital dye testing – instilling orange or green dyes to assess quality of tear film
- Schirmers or phenol red testing – using a strip of litmus paper or thread to measure tear volume
- Meibomian gland testing – assessing the function of the glands using a microscope
- Anterior segment photography – using high quality imaging to assess the health of the front portion of the eye
- Patient history – lifestyle, environment, diet, medications, and certain illnesses make someone more at risk for developing tear film deficiencies.
Schedule an appointment with your optometrist to get assessed for Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) or Digital Eye Strain. Treatment can be initiated to help alleviate symptoms and prevent progression.

Dr. Anith Pillai is a Therapeutic Optometric Glaucoma specialist. He is the owner of Evolutionary Eye Care, located in Sugar Land, TX. His clinical focus is in anterior segment disease and specialty contact lens evaluations for the management of Keratoconus and other corneal disorders, as well as Ocular Surface Disease and Dry Eye. He is also certified for Corneal Refractive Therapy, or ortho-keratology, which is a laser-less vision correction for myopia (near-sighted) control.
