In the following I am going to show you my new coloring technique. It features a mixture of markers and watercolor, but you can use colored pencils as well as a substitution for the latter.
For this one I used paper by Hahnemühle which is called Bamboo Mixed Media. It works fine, but I discovered that the Arches Grain Satiné works even better for me :) It is more expensive though.
As for the markers I only used B24 Sky and B12 Ice Blue. In addition to that you'll need white and a blueish purple watercolor pan/tube. My brand of choice for this task is Shinhan. I used Chinese White and Permanent Violet(shown in the photo ... the dark violet hue in the middle).
Have fun :) I hope it works for you as well ♥
Click on the pictures to enlarge them
Step 1
- Grab your markers first and choose the one you would like to use for the shadows
- in this case I used B24 Sky
- Begin to draw in the shadows and don't mind sharp edges as you want to smooth some of them out later
Step 2
- Grab the lighter color - I chose B12 Ice Blue this time - and begin to blend some of the shadows to smooth them
- remember not to smooth all of them as we want to keep some hard edges and maintain the balance
Step 3
- fill in the empty space with B12/the lighter color
Step 4
intensify some of the shadows by going over them once again with B24/the darker color
Step 5
- grab your brush and watercolors now
- choose the blueish purple tone first and define/deepen some parts to give more depth
- choosing a shadow color which has a slightly different hue makes the color scheme more vivid
Step 6
- take your white now and add highlights
- always keep in mind while drawing/coloring that all thing have three dimensions
- light and shadows are based on logic so if you get to know materials and their features you will learn to color a lot of things

Microsoft answers call for more cross-platform support
Enterprises want Microsoft to provide better support for Unix and Linux, as well as for its own products. System Center is moving in that direction.
LAS VEGAS--Just as Unix shops have their own management silos, so does Microsoft, but the software company is opening up its System Center line, in part, to support heterogeneous environments.
A common complaint is not just a lack of interoperability with non-Microsoft platforms, but also with specific enterprise systems management products, such as HP OpenView, IBM Tivoli, BMC Performance Manager and CA Unicenter.
At the Microsoft Management Summit 2008 here this week, Microsoft introduced betas for cross-platform extensions between its server management product, System Center Operations Manager 2007, and HP-UX, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Sun Solaris and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating systems.
Beta Connectors are also now available between Operations Manager 2007 and HP OpenView and IBM Tivoli Enterprise systems management consoles.
The betas are based on open source technologies WS-Management and OpenPegasus.
Management consultant David Clapp said his company Inacom Information Systems in Madison, Wis., has been asking Microsoft for more integration with Unix- and Linux-based systems to alleviate the pain of managing Unix, Linux and Microsoft stacks independently.
"We want to see correlation if there is an outage," Clapp said. "If the Unix or Linux environment goes down, that affects the Microsoft environment. There's always going to be interplay [between different platforms] that we need to see and make them work together."
Virtualization introduces a new cross-platform management challenge as well, which is why Intel's Microsoft alliance manager Joakim Lialias said he believes Microsoft is also coming out with a beta for System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008, the next version of VMM 2007, with support for VMware ESX Server.
"Whether Microsoft likes it or not it's crucial to have interoperability, especially with the proliferation of virtualization and having to manage applications in different environments and on different OSes," Lialias said. "There has to be an overall management cloud for IT admins."

Can I Buy a Home After Filing for Bankruptcy?
Many people think it's impossible to buy a home after filing for bankruptcy. Unfortunately, there are many bankruptcy myths. The good news is, this couldn't be further from the truth. Not only is it possible, but you don't have to wait ten years, either.
Of course, you will have to wait until you can re-establish credit. This amount of time will be different for everyone. It could take a few years, so spend those years repairing your credit and doing prep work that will enable you to one day buy a home. Here are a few of the things you can do:
- Have at least two consumer credit cards in your name, with at least two years' history of on-time payments and low balances.
- An active car loan with a history of on-time payments, OR a paid-off car with a history of perfect payments.
- A sizable savings account for a down payment.
- Realistic expectations. Prepare to purchase only what you can afford.
Two years after your bankruptcy is complete, your credit score should no longer be adversely affected. As long as you have not gotten yourself back into debt, you may be able to purchase a home. The better your credit score, the lower interest rate you'll pay. Conversely, the worse your credit score, the higher interest rate you'll pay, as you'll be considered a risk.
Beware of companies calling themselves "bankruptcy friendly." They may help you get a mortgage, but may also charge you hidden fees. Shop around before you commit yourself to any company, and make sure you understand all fees involved with buying a house, including loan fees, tax escrows, insurance, and closing costs.
Call us toll-free today at 1-800-260-1402 for your complimentary initial bankruptcy consultation or visit one of our 100 offices across the United States. You can also read our many informative articles on our website, www.maceybankruptcylaw.com. For the best advice on filing for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection, trust the experienced and caring attorneys at Jacoby & Meyers Bankruptcy Law.

2014 has been a pretty fun year over here at Mr Rumsey's. More of you than ever before have stopped by to chat about film, whether that be new releases or old favourites, and it's been great to both develop friendships with those of you who have been coming here for a while, and also to meet so many new people throughout the year. The growth of the site has enabled me to venture into new territory such as interviewing industry professionals, working with the Cambridge film festival and going to the Begin Again press conference, so thank you all for the part you played in that.
Wrong Turn 6 proved to be the most popular topic on my site this year when Mediocre Batman's Christian Robshaw provided the site with a FrightFest review and also when I sat down to interview both Sadie Katz and Aqueela Zoll, so a big thank you to Christian, Sadie and Aqueela there.
Thanks also need to go out to all of you who leave comments on the site; everybody who does is hugely valued by me as interaction like that is one of the best rewards that running a site like this can offer and I love receiving your feedback and talking movies with you all. I really appreciate everyone who comes and visits the site but special thanks must be given to the top five commenters this year; so thank you Mikey from Screenkicker, Eric from The IPC, Abbi from Where the Wild Things Are, Zoë from The Sporadic Chronicles of a Beginner Blogger and a huge thank you to Fernando from Committed to Celluloid who was the top commenter and whose total number of comments more than doubled the person in second place!
Lea Thompson, Agata Trzebuchowska and Melora Walters.
Looking forward to 2015 there will be interviews with Agata Trzebuchowska (Ida) and Lea Thompson (Back to the Future) to look forward to! Also be sure to keep your eyes open for my interview with Melora Walters (Magnolia) who's one of my absolute favourite actresses and it was a real privilege to be able to interview her a week or so ago. Alongside the upcoming interviews there will of course be plenty of reviews to read and silhouettes to guess in the 'Who's That?' quiz, so I hope you enjoy them!
All that's left for me to say now is that I eagerly look forward to spending lots of time with you all discussing films during the new year! Have a blast tomorrow on new years and I'll see you all in 2015!

The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman
I loved the books the first time around, and I didn't think it was possible, but I think rereading them has only served to make me love them even more. There are many indications earlier in the books as to what is happening, things you miss the first time around when you really don't understand yet what is going on, and how big the story is going to be. Reading the books a second time, even though I'd read them long enough ago that I don't recall everything about them, allowed me to pick up on some of these things.
You might remember the not-well-received movie version of The Golden Compass that came out a few years ago. They watered down that movie so badly that it lost the meat of its message. They were trying not to offend the Christian audience, but in doing so they took away the substance of the story. Such a pity.
The Golden Compass takes place in a world very much like ours, but different. The biggest and most obvious difference is that people have daemons, animal companions that are -- as you discover in the later books -- essentially the person's soul. Person and daemon cannot live without one another. The next most obvious difference is that the church is much more powerful and all-encompassing in this world, and all science goes through the church (and is controlled by it).
As Lyra -- a little girl who has grown up in her world's Oxford, running wild through Jordan College -- has discovered, scientists have identified something they call Dust, that seems attracted to adults but not to children. The church has decided that Dust is the basis for Original Sin, and that they need to rid the world of it. To that end, they have been doing horrific experiments on children and their daemons. When Lyra's best friend, Roger, gets kidnapped, she becomes involved in trying to stop these evil things from happening.
It's only the first installment of a huge story, one that encompasses not only Lyra's world, but also ours and many others. And yes, it paints a rather dark picture of Christianity, but try to remember that the evil church Lyra and her friends are fighting against is in Lyra's world, not ours.

If you want to see what Prism looks like worn alone, you can see it in MizzWorthy's post here. So pretty!
But I jumped straight in with using it as a layering polish. The one I was wearing at the time was BYS Pink Panic, a very bright pink which you can see in Jacie's post here, since I was too excited about Prism to think to take a pic of Pink Panic on it's own!
Now, trust me when I say these photos don't even begin to skim the surface of the multifaceted, flashing duochrome effect this polish gives in person. Very quiet and unassuming in the bottle, it totally fucking kicks ass on the nail. The duochrome effect looks very white in my pics but these were the best out of dozens I took – trust me that it really flashes blue and violet when you move it around in the sunlight.
I didn't apply a clear topcoat over this because I didn't know if it would dull the effect. Initially I was worried that this would mean it wouldn't last long but these photos are taken at the end of the third day of wear. You can see a bit of minor tipwear but I'm sure you'll agree it's still in pretty good nick so longevity gets a big thumbs up from me.
This truly is such an amazing polish. If I'm being honest, though, I wouldn't have paid £13 for it. I don't know if that's just me being a bit tight but I wouldn't ever pay that much for a nail polish; at least not in the dire financial situations I often find myself in of late. Hey, maybe one day I'll be able to afford them all. But if you don't mind shelling out a few quid, you NEED this. End of.

We offer advice to the customer on how to improve efficiency within the property at the best price.
There are many benefits of converting from a vented/non-vented system with a hot water tank to a combi system. These include; instant hot water, increased efficiency, more space due to the removal of the tanks within your property and most importantly increased mains pressure on the hot water meaning showers will be more powerful.

Posted by Ronda Riley on 21st Jun 2016
I bought these to cover my chocolate bars because when you buy the bars in bulk, thry don't have the foil around them. These are great little silver pockets that fit a already wrapped candy bar inside. BEST PART IS THEY WERE WRAPPED IN "2 GOLD FOILED THIN CARDBOARD PIECES" THST I USED FOR SPECIAL PEOPLE GIFTS AS THE GOLDEN TICKET FROM WILLY WONKA!!! The hit of the party!! Will definitely buy again
Posted by chrissy on 16th Sep 2015
This product was very convenient made it so much easier to do my chocolates. How ever I rated this product as a 4 bc I found I needed to glue the tabs because the preglued did not help.
Posted by Unknown on 13th Aug 2015
The adhesive to adhere the envelope was not sufficient to keep the flap close. It kept popping open. But will order again because of convenience.
Posted by toya on 20th Mar 2015
I have used these pounches a few times and I love not having to fold paper....its quick and simple and allows me to produce more fun things
Posted by Lettu on 7th Jul 2014
The flap on the silver foil pouches arrive pre-glued but it is not enough glue to keep it sealed so you need extra glue to seal them shut. This is a slight inconvenience but will continue to order this product.
Posted by Bobbi on 26th Jun 2014
Back again, and I still love these, they add such a specail looking touch to the item. My customers are more than willing to pay a few cents extra to have them. I of course will be returning for more.
Posted by Unknown on 4th Jun 2014
The foil insert fit my Hershey bar perfectly and was easy to install. The little sticky tabs didn't stick but this wasn't a problem because I was using a candy bar wrapper as well..

CUNA is seeking congressional support now for credit union charter enhancement legislation, including member business lending [MBL] and supplemental capital bills, which will be unveiled in the coming weeks, News Now reports.
CUNA has discussed the upcoming bills in recent meetings with Senate Banking Committee members, and the bipartisan appeal of both bills has been a consistent point of emphasis during those meetings, says Ryan Donovan, CUNA's senior vice president of legislative affairs. CUNA is asking senators how the appeal of the bills could be maximized through additional tweaks, he adds.
Both bills met banker opposition last year, but "CUNA anticipates the merits of the bills will be considered, and that those merits will win the day," Donovan says.
Rep. Ed Royce (R-Calif.) is preparing the MBL legislation and Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) is readying the supplementary capital bill. Both pieces of legislation will be virtually identical to bills that were introduced last year, Donovan says, although there may be some changes to portions of the supplemental capital bill that address transparency and disclosures.
Last year's House and Senate MBL bills, H.R. 1418 and S. 509, sought to increase credit unions' current MBL cap from 12.25% to 27.5% of assets. Doing so would allow credit unions lend an additional $13 billion to small businesses and would create more than 140,000 new jobs within the first year of enactment.
The 2012 supplemental capital legislation (H.R. 3993) would have permitted NCUA to allow credit unions to accept additional forms of capital, provided it doesn't alter the not for profits' cooperative ownership structure.
"The point we make when discussing MBL legislation is this: There are credit unions that served business-owning members before and during the financial crisis. Now that the crisis is over, they want to keep working with those members," Donovan says.
Richard Gose, CUNA's senior vice president of political affairs, notes that a coalition of small business groups continues to support increasing the MBL cap for credit unions.
Banker groups strongly objected to both bills last year, and CUNA pushed back, successfully opposing legislation that would have extended the Transaction Account Guarantee for banks.
Bankers have also harmed their own bills to prevent credit union legislation from moving forward. "Banks may realize that they need to abandon this scorched-earth policy if they want to get their own legislation passed through Congress," says John Magill, CUNA's executive vice president of legislative affairs.

3/4 cup flour
4 tablespoon vegan coconut flakes / vegan shredded coconut
1 cup mango puree (approx. 2 mangoes pureed)
1/2 cup coconut milk
Mix all ingredients together (I used my food processor, and it worked wonderfully). Heat a little oil in a crepe pan; when warm, spoon pancake mixture into pan and cook until browned, flip, and brown on the other side.
I served these w/Jennas Fruit Syrup recipe, which I made with bananas --it was very tasty.
Please also note that these pancakes are relatively sweet.

When it comes to working out, many people love their pre-workouts. Since the rise of Jack'd 3D, the industry has been buzzing with pre-workout drinks. This started in 2008 and USP Labs sold a staggering $400 million dollars of Jack'd 3D between 2008-2013. Then, the FDA stepped in and summarily banned all products containing DMAA. Hi Tech Pharmaceuticals took on the FDA in a law suit and until it is resolved, it is legal to sell DMAA. Although many people have used DMAA without issue, consumers are wary of using it for fear of illness. So with a vast array of products available, what pre-workout powder should someone use? For a cutting edge product without the amphetamine like stimulants, look no further than Liquid Labs Wyked 3.0. This is the best pre-workout that won't leave you feeling "stimmed" out like a crackhead! Add that to Mind and Muscle's Intra Fuse and you have your bases covered. Wyked 3.0 and Intra Fuse are the unbeatable workout combo.
Wyked 3.0
This is the latest version of the famous Wyked line of pre-workout drinks. Wyked 2.1 was wildly successful but all good things come to an end and the next evolution comes down the pipe. Wyked 3.0 is completely reformulated to be even stronger than the prior versions. The caffeine was notched up to 250 mg per serving. It has 500 mg of agamatine sulfate which provides out of this world pumps. Yohimbine HCL allows for greater pumps and greater blood flow. It also has 4 grams of creatine, AKG, Betaine helps IGF levels and increases anabolism as a consequence. The carnitine aids in fat burning and a host of other metabolic processes. This product is not only highly effective, it tastes great as well. If you are looking for a great pre-workout that doesn't make you feel like you have been on the pipe, this is your product!
Intra Fuse
This is a very cutting edge supplement in the are of intra-workout drinks. There is nothing on the market that takes advantage of HBCD and Hydromac Glycerol in the same formula. This will not only super hydrate your muscle cells, leading to greater performance, it also gives your body the energy supply to get through the most intense workouts. The 2:1:1 BCAA ratio is awesome for triggering anabolism. Taurine is great for elevating mood and increasing exercise performance. Glutamine aids the body in gut health and immune function as well as anabolism. We also added Bitter Melon to aid proper delivery of glucose to the muscles and away from storage. This supplement is so well thought out because we were looking for a way to give consumers the ultimate peri-workout nutrition drink that could be brought to market. This is the the GAME CHANGER in workout nutrition.
How To Use Intra Fuse and Wyked 3.0
To prepare for your workout, mix your Wyked 3.0 and 1 scoop of Intra Fuse with 20 oz of water for your drive to the gym. Mix another 1-2 scoops of Intra Fuse in 20-40 oz with one scoop of LG BCAA and sip for the duration of your workout. This will give your body all the energy you need to blow through the most intense workouts, no questions asked. So, between the kick in the pants that you get from Wyked 3.0 and the energy you have from Intra Fuse, you should have amazing workouts every single time you go to the gym. Get yours today and start making real progress towards those physique goals you aspire to conquer!

G20 Summit in Cannes
The 6th Summit of the Group of 20 (G20) is taking place on Nov. 3 and 4 in the city of Cannes, in southeastern France. France currently holds the presidency of the group.

frameBorder=0 width=450 scrolling=no height=430>
Created in 2009 to tackle the economic and financial crisis, The G20 is an informal forum which gathers the heads of state and government of the 20 biggest economic powers, along with representatives from international organizations such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and the United Nations.
The forum holds a central position in the coordination of the world economical policies.
During the Cannes Summit, the G20 members will take precise and concrete measures to provide effective answers to the unprecedented crisis that the world is going through since 2008, and to restore confidence in the financial stability of the euro zone.
Another goal of the meeting is to better regulate globalization through mutual agreements regarding financial regulation, economic aid to emerging countries, the fight against corruption, food safety and employment policies.
The G20 is also an opportunity for leaders to express their unity on today's major economic challenges, as illustrated by the joint declaration of the French and American presidents Nicolas Sarkozy and Barack Obama.
Romaric Roignan, diplomat at the French Embassy in the US and expert of the international Summits, talks about the main topics of the Cannes G20 summit.

What is Stray Further all about?
Stray Further was created in response to the dire situation with homeless dogs and other animals in Morocco. After rescuing a small puppy whilst on holiday, and subsequently finding her a home in a sanctuary out here, we decided that it was time to change our lives and think about what we could offer to these animals.
Stray Further is a semi-nomadic company that works with animal charities, for the time being in Morocco. We design t-shirts and other products to raise funds and awareness for our charities, we chose to make clothing as it is a way for the customer to outwardly show their support and wear a rad tee! T-shirts are universal, not directed at a single audience and available to everyone.
Every product that we make is eco-friendly, responsibly resourced and sweat shop free. Our fabric is organic and created with a low carbon footprint. It is important that our products make people feel good when they are wearing them and that they have the smallest ecological impact possible.
Whereabouts are you based and who are you working with?
We started in Camberwell, London but are now in Essaouira in Morocco, we are currently working with an animal sanctuary called 'Four Legged Orphan Sanctuary, FLOS', they are about 40km north of the town and attached to a hotel. They aim to relieve the suffering of animals that find their way to them by housing, feeding, medicating and vaccinating them. At the moment they are small and underfunded but hopefully with our help they will become more organised, more successful at fundraising and have a larger online audience. We are also working with FLOS to create an adoption program and volunteer program.
What are you most proud of?
Three days after we arrived at the sanctuary, two day old puppies arrived, they were incredibly weak and hadn't opened their eyes. Their litter mates were found dead next to them and it is thought that their mother was poisoned. We bottle fed them every three hours and kept them warm, they had sores on their backs and we tried our hardest to keep them alive. Unfortunately, they didn't survive and as heartbreaking as it was we are proud that we gave them a week of comfort, warmth and love and this is ultimately why we are here. It may not be an uplifting story but it is a fact of our jobs and something that we can find light in.
How can people find out more and get involved?
We have our website, strayfurther.rocks which is home to our online shop, 10% of every sale goes to FLOS and the rest goes back into making products. There is an adoption page for anyone looking for a new furry friend and a 'stories' section which has chronicled our journey up until now. We are constantly updating the stories and shop so please keep following us.
We are also on Instagram - stray__further where we post daily updates of the sanctuary and our journeys around Morocco.
Early next year we are hiking Jbel Toubkal, North Africa's highest point to raise awareness of these orphaned animals. For anyone interested in a challenge, please get involved! We will post further details on the website.
It is also possible to donate straight to FLOS via their website - flosanimals.com
What makes you hopeful?
This answer is twofold, firstly, watching sick animals get better and have the opportunity to grow into their characters, seeing one of our dogs who is blind, and arrived to the sanctuary close to death put on weight and start navigating her new world. Secondly, seeing the change in the attitude of the locals, working with them to see dogs as pets rather than pests and to educate them. Hopefully step by step we can make a change.
Thank you Josh and Kate, founders of Stray Further for answering our questions and for giving us the opportunity to support your work.

It all comes to pricing when looking at the sustainability of the orphan drug development industry, and rare disease patients' continued access to these life-saving therapies.
I recently read an article at The Boston Globe portal which addressed this subject; '$300,000 a year?
Doctors question high drug prices for orphan drugs and thought that we are being generous with the pricing standards. There are a number of approved orphan drugs in the market with prices way higher that $300k – like Alexion's Soliris at $400,000 and Shire's elaprase at $375,000 per year.
Everyone knows about the logical pricing formula for rare disease therapies. Pharma and biotechs invest billions of dollars in orphan drug development and with a small patient population pricing must be high so industry can recoup investment. Prices would even be higher if the Orphan Drug Act, which exempts industry from many fees and grants them considerable tax credit, was not in place since 1983. Additionally, it is mandatory for insurance companies to reimburse these therapies, which makes the whole system viable.
But until when?
With more companies entering the orphan drug market the probability of a boost of new approved drugs in the market in the next decade is high. This will tremendously impact the ability of payers to continue reimbursing for these therapies while maintaining their financial sustainability.
Dr. Brian P. O'Sullivan, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, is leading an initiative with colleagues and other oncologists to discuss whether the way drug pricing is done is responsible. Even though the group acknowledges that there's no readily available solution to this issue, they suggest that pricing should not simply be based on what people are willing to pay.
Join us next April in DC at the World Orphan Drug Congress USA 2014, where leaders in the industry will discuss different approaches to make the system more sustainable, while continuing to advance rare disease research.

About the Support category
I used the url: http://gu.org/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=1YWsloqb6T8%3D&tabid=157&mid=606
The first time I tried it found this pdf article on the ug.org website. I somehow ended up entering the complete citation at the end in the bibliography, but on the actual page, in blue, and in the sidebar, the citation had not author or title (In sidebar, there were (author) (title) followed by url.) So I deleted everything and tried again. I'd hit the green CITE button too early, I supposed.
Second time around, the search box just grinds and grinds, never finds the citation.
So, two questions:
- What's wrong with search box second time around?
- What did I do wrong that left me with this on the reference page:

How to apply
Lund University uses a national application system run by University Admissions in Sweden. It is only possible to apply during the application periods: October–January for autumn semester and June–August for spring semester.
Extended application deadline
Sometimes the application deadline is extended for a specific programme or course. In these cases you will find the message "open for late application" by the programme/course information on universityadmissions.se. You apply with the usual application steps. As long as this message is showing, it is possible to apply, but late applications are processed in order of date, so it is still important to apply as soon as possible. Please note that if the programme/course does not have an extended deadline, it is not possible to apply late.
First or Second Admission Round?
All international students are encouraged to apply to the First admission round. This round takes place many months before the start of a semester and gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and receive their residence permit (if required), find housing, etc.
The Second admission round is an alternative for students from EU/EEA countries as they do not need a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester. However, even EU/EEA students are advised to apply during the First admission round, as some programmes can be applied for only in the January round. Also, this provides applicants with an admission decision much earlier, which is helpful in making decisions about their studies.
Tuition Fees
Non-EU/EEA citizens
Full course tuition fee: SEK 50 000
First payment: SEK 50 000
Convert currency
Citizens of a country outside of the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland are required to pay tuition fees. You pay one instalment of the tuition fee in advance of each semester.
Read more about tuition fees, payments and exemptions
EU/EEA citizens and Switzerland
There are no tuition fees for citizens of the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland.
Application fee
If you are required to pay tuition fees, you are generally also required to pay an application fee of SEK 900 (approximately EUR 100) when you apply at universityadmissions.se. You pay one application fee regardless of how many programmes or courses you apply to.

Just roll on and wipe off, it's that simple!
Hair removal creams are a popular method of hair removal as they are pain free and give great results but it just got even better, introducting Andrea Roll-on Hair Remover. This cream comes in a handy little dispenser with a roll-on applicator. You just roll it over your legs to apply the cream, leave it for up to 8 minutes and then wipe and rinse off.
Andrea Roll-on Hair Remover was created using a new revolutionary formula that allows the depilatory cream to glide on effortlessly, allowing for a mess-free application on legs, arms and bikini area. The sensitive skin formula has been designed to work on coarse and hard to remove hair while providing a moisturizing and soothing effecting using Aloe Vera and Honey extracts
Sian Maggs from @skincareblogger tried it out for herself and shares her thoughts:
"Based on my experience, it is by far the most effective hair remover on the market, in my opinion. When you follow the directions precisely, there is virtually no redness or skin irritation. The directions say to leave it on for 8 minutes, and I'd stick to that otherwise you could irritate your skin , but with my experience I only needed to leave it on for 6 minutes . It's fairly easy to remove, just a damp cloth is enough to wipe away the excess removal cream, and if you wish, you can apply a small amount of the soothing cream after the removal process. This treatment is easy, saves time and cost effective, it's also great that I can do this in the privacy of my own home, without feeling awkward or uncomfortable in front of a beautician." - @skincareblogger

Today, we're rolling out our biggest update yet for SwiftKey Keyboard for iPhone, iPad & iPod touch. Brand new features include many that you've requested: emoji, SwiftKey Flow for iPad, keyboard click sounds and 11 more of your most-requested languages!
We've built emoji right into SwiftKey Keyboard so you can now express yourself when words don't quite cut it. Just as it learns the words and phrases that matter to you, SwiftKey also learns and predicts which emoji you use most often so you can spend less time looking for that perfect smiley (or slice of pizza – whatever you're into).
You can find more than 800 fun emoji by tapping the "smiley" button on the bottom left of the keyboard. The more often you add a fun icon to your messages, the more SwiftKey will learn to offer it to you in the prediction bar.
SwiftKey Flow is now available for iPad, in addition to iPhone and iPod touch. SwiftKey Flow lets you enter words quickly by swiping your finger across the screen – all while learning from you to deliver the best possible predictions.
You can alternate between tapping and 'flowing' your words at any time, and the Flow feature works seamlessly with all of SwiftKey's other features, including autocorrect, quick period and more.
SwiftKey is also adding 11 new languages to the iOS app, bringing its total number of supported languages to 35. Don't forget you can have up to two languages enabled at a time – perfect for bilingual speakers! These new languages include:
- Bulgarian
- Croatian
- Greek
- Hinglish
- Icelandic
- Indonesian
- Latvian
- Russian
- Serbian
- Slovak
- Turkish
We're also excited to announce that Arabic, Hebrew and Persian – some of our most requested languages – are now in testing phase in a closed beta. One of SwiftKey's strengths is our multilingual support, letting you switch seamlessly between languages/layouts within one keyboard. We're committed to offering this same experience, regardless of whether the languages are right-to-left (a.k.a. RTL – like Arabic, Hebrew and Persian) or left-to-right (LTR – like English and French). This is a complex implementation, and we're working hard to provide you with the best possible typing experience. Thanks for your patience along the way! If you're interested in beta testing one or more of these languages, please fill out the form here – the first 100 to reply will be invited to participate in our testing process.
Lastly, you can now type as loudly as you please, as SwiftKey for iPhone & iPad now includes keyboard click sounds! This feature is turned off by default but can easily be enabled by opening the SwiftKey Keyboard app and visiting Keyboard Settings > Advanced settings.
Additional improvements in this update include general bug fixes and improved layouts to support new languages.
Update your favorite iPhone keyboard app by heading to the Apple App Store.
As always, keep us posted on how things are going through our Support site; we love to hear your feedback and suggestions. You can reach us on Facebook and Twitter, and we'd love for you to join our iOS VIP Community.

17 responses to "Emoji iPhone update – SwiftKey Keyboard brings Flow for iPad, emoji, languages & more"
I may be the only person in the world who hates emojis but I don't like the fact that the 'Switch to another keyboard' button now defaults to calling up smiley faces and tiny pictures of pizzas and changing keyboards now involves additional steps to operate. Can we have the choice to make the 'Switch' option the default – particularly as we still have to change keyboards when Swiftkey stops working properly in several apps (such as Messages, App Store etc.) Thanks…
Good job guys! Looking forward for new features.
Also, that jump in contacts
Try this for a minute see if it works?:
Typical crApple. Downloaded and installed the update & no flow writing anywhere
"keyboard click sounds" – Android users have been asking for this feature for years now. Can we please get Lollipop keypress sounds (or) custom keypress sounds instead of the typewriter sound we have now.
when will have Chinese keyboard for iOS?
any time frame for arabic language?
New Update Swiftkey really impressive. https://goo.gl/5dQJJ0
Updated & still no flow on ipad
I'm glad to see an update, waiting for the day I get to type Chinese and Japanese from SwiftKey as well…
That aside, I hardly use emojis, but I switch keyboards often. I would very much like an option to turn off the emoji feature so that it's easier for me to switch keyboards.
hate hate hate emoji. cannot find a way to remove the button from my iphone keyboard on the latest version. Will have to remove swiftkey as the only reason i had it installed was the ability to remove the emoji button which is now lost
Most Japanese people use 2 keyboards at least, English one for alphabet and Japanese one. That means "Switch to other keyboard" is a so important button. I'd like to have an option, "Change the default from Emoji to Switch to other keyboard" or "Disable Emoji".
Great news on the upcoming support for Farsi, Can't wait to install SwiftKey when it arrives.
When will predictive emojis become available for iPhone? I have the paid version of the app for my S5 that has had this functionality for a very long time now. Thanks!!!
Add Arabic language and more themes please.
The latest update rearranges all the emojis making it hard to find them! Please revert back to the previous layout. I don't like this one bit!

We are focused on delivering performance-enhancing consultation that simultaneously addresses your IT and business agendas. We work directly with CIOs and others to create a more risk-aware, effective IT organization that can nimbly drive process efficiencies throughout your company and better support and deliver transformational business change. From cloud computing to mobile payment information, data integrity and information security have never been more crucial. With a range of specialized IT advisory services, Weaver can help you distinguish IT as the strategic advantage your company needs to succeed in the age of big data.
Our IT Advisory Services include:
Are system security vulnerabilities adequately addressed within your organization? Is your organization aware of the risks associated with these security threats and vulnerabilities?
The risk depends on the types of information your organization has. If you have sensitive information about customers, consumers, clients or patients; intellectual property or designs that would be commercially damaging if lost; or if your organization operates critical systems for which unplanned downtime is unacceptable based on customer SLAs or based on cost, then the impact of a security incident can be quite high. Security threats and vulnerabilities therefore pose a higher risk to such organizations and they should perform regular assessments to ensure they are not unnecessarily exposed.
Weaver's security professionals can perform a variety of procedures to assist your organization to improve its information security profile, including, but not limited to the following:
- Network architecture review
- Internal and external vulnerability assessment scanning
- Information security policy and procedure evaluation (using ISO 27001)
- Social engineering
- Network penetration testing
Deliverables for our security engagements include tailored reports written by our security professionals which describe the results of our assessment. As an accounting firm, we strive to ensure that our deliverables can be understood and used by IT professionals as well as senior management and the board. Although we use automated scanning tools to perform many of our procedures, we believe that our analysis and interpretation of the output from those tools is the value-added component that differentiates our service. We do not provide "canned" output, except as supporting documentation. Our recommendations are based on practical solutions which we discuss with your personnel prior to the completion of fieldwork.
Our IT audits focus on the technology risks that pose the greatest threat to your organization's critical objectives, and delivers comprehensive, actionable recommendations for areas of improvement. IT audits can be performed as standalone engagements or in conjunction with other services including financial statement audit, Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, internal audits, or Service Organization Controls (SOC) engagements. IT audits may be required to fulfill regulatory obligations, contractual requirements, or may be conducted simply as a best practice to address the concerns of management or the board. The scope of an IT audit can be either broad in nature (i.e. IT general controls assessment) or an IT audit can be narrower in scope (e.g. focused on a specific application or function).
Common IT audit engagements include the following:
- IT Risk Assessments
- IT Governance & Effectiveness audits
- Information Security reviews
- System and Organization Control (SOC) examinations
- General Computer Controls assessments
- Data Privacy audits (e.g. HIPAA, PCI, GLBA compliance)
- Pre and Post-Implementation Application reviews
- Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plan assessments
- Application Security and Segregation of Duties evaluation
Weaver's IT audit team is comprised of ex-Big 4 IT auditors and home grown talent. This combination of backgrounds allows us to field a team that has the experience to be very effective in complicated IT environments, yet practical enough to serve small and mid-size organizations too. We always provide recommendations to address the findings of our IT audits, and we strive to ensure that our recommendations are practical, agreeable and actionable before concluding our work.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 27001 standard is the most widely accepted across the world for developing an information security management system. ISO 27001 certification can be beneficial to businesses working with international customers because it signifies that your organization uses standards common with other organizations across the globe. Certification follows a specific process, which includes an audit.
Whether pursuing the actual ISO 27001 certification or simply implementing security management procedures according to best practices, Weaver's information security professionals can help.
Our seasoned IT advisory team can help your organization identify potential gaps in the current environment through scoping and planning exercises, development of a risk assessment against the ISO process areas, and an evaluation of current security practices.
The ISO 27001 standard contains 11 domains that must be addressed. The ISO domains align with other IT and security management frameworks your organization may use including COBIT, ITIL, CSA's CCM, and the AICPA's Trust Principles and Criteria (SOC 2).
- Security policy - management direction
- Organization of information security - governance of information security
- Asset management - inventory and classification of information assets
- Human resources security - security aspects for employees joining, moving and leaving an organization
- Physical and environmental security - protection of the computer facilities
- Communications and operations management - management of technical security controls in systems and networks
- Access control - restriction of access rights to networks, systems, applications, functions and data
- Information systems acquisition, development and maintenance - building security into applications
- Information security incident management - anticipating and responding appropriately to information security breaches
- Business continuity management - protecting, maintaining and recovering business-critical processes and systems
- Compliance - ensuring conformance with information security policies, standards, laws and regulations
Weaver's professionals will help your organization integrate the ISO 27001 requirements into everyday processes, improving the rate of adoption and reducing the rate of error. The resulting deliverable for this effort is a roadmap that will detail potential weaknesses against the ISO requirements and provide recommendations to strengthen the security of your organization. We can also customize an implementation timeline based on your company's available resources or objectives.
Many wonder about the hype around cloud computing … what is it exactly, who needs it and how do you take advantage of it? Cloud computing potentially offers substantial advantages, including lower IT costs and greater business flexibility. Fully benefiting from cloud computing, though, requires understanding how the service is provided, what an organization's needs are, the potential vulnerabilities associated with such a migration, and how various compliance and assurance needs must be met.
Weaver's IT advisory professionals play a wide variety of roles relating to cloud computing including third party assurance for cloud providers, SLA and KPI analysis for cloud users, cloud service provider selection services, and more. Our IT advisory professionals can help you understand the business advantages and risks associated with migrating IT functions to a cloud environment. With the right planning and preparation, organizations are more likely to attain the benefits of cloud computing without the unforeseen difficulties.
"Big data" is an increasingly popular consulting buzz word associated with using data analytics to generate "big opportunities" for businesses. Beyond the buzz words, organizations cannot afford to ignore the value of their information, regardless of industry or size. The Weaver Analytics team focuses exclusively on performing data analytics-based services to assist clients with analyzing large volumes of data. Our procedures can help establish effective tools to monitor key performance indicators, recognize potential fraud, assist in error detection, present potential efficiency opportunities, and provide useful and objective insights into the operations of businesses that can be found in routinely collected data.
No client is too big or too small. In a digital world, organizations of all sizes generate and have access to tremendous amounts of data. Our team of specialized analytics professionals stand ready to provide advisory services specifically tailored to your company's needs. Our customized procedures can be performed by our professionals in your IT environment, or we can extract data from your systems and perform analytics procedures on our secure servers.
Is your company compliant with the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS)? As a certified PCI QSA firm, Weaver's IT Advisory team now offers a service that provides payment card industry (PCI) data security assessments and assistance in complying with these stringent standards.
Among the requirements of the new PCI-DSS standard:
- Building and maintaining a secure network using firewalls to protect cardholder data, and ensuring that vendor-supplied defaults for system passwords and other security parameters are not used.
- Protecting cardholder data and encrypting its transmission across open, public networks.
- Maintaining a vulnerability management program with secure systems and applications, plus regular updates to anti-virus software and programs.
- Implementing strong access control measures by restricting access to cardholder data (both electronic and physical) on a "need to know" basis.
- Regularly monitoring and testing networks and tracking all access to cardholder data.
Our IT Advisory professionals bring a different level of service to our clients because of our roots as an audit firm. We approach payment card security from a different angle, offering our clients a more holistic, in-depth service offering.
Meet our PCI QSA Certified Providers:
Brian Thomas, CISA, CISSP and partner; and Brittany George, CISA and senior manager, both in Weaver's IT Advisory services department, have met the necessary requirements to earn the Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) certification from the PCI Security Standards Council. This achievement positions us as one of the few select accounting firms to offer this level of certification as a QSA firm.
QSA companies are organizations that have been qualified by the Council to have their employees assess compliance with the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Qualified security assessors are employees of these organizations who have been certified by the Council to validate an entity's adherence to the PCI DSS. Qualified security assessors can be verified through the PCI Security Standards website.
If your organization provides outsourced services to other businesses, chances are you'll be requested to demonstrate that you maintain a sound environment of internal control over the transactional data you manage or systems you host on their behalf. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) has created multiple reporting options to enable you to demonstrate transparency to your customers and prospects.
Companies of all sizes sometimes need a little extra guidance navigating the IT landscape. Weaver's CIO Advisory Services team is there to help fill those gaps, whether it's an interim Chief Information Officer or assistance creating a strategic technology plan.

I ran across an interesting post by Celestine Chua titled, "Are You a Howling Dog?" She begins the post by stating that there are different variations to this story. Go read her variation, and then come back and read mine – along with some commentary.
Her's is a good version. And her comments and analysis are excellent.
That said, here's the story as I have always known it:
A traveling salesman made a call on farm one day. As he was chatting with the farmer, the salesman found himself getting distracted by an old hound resting on the front porch. Thing was, every few minutes, the hounddog would lift his head, let out pitiful whine before putting his head back down. Finally, the salesman asked the farmer about the dog:
"Something wrong with your old dog," inquired the salesman.
"Yup," answered back the farmer; adding, "reckon that nail he's been laying on all this time is bothering him."
The salesman thought for a minute and said, "so why doesn't he move?"
"Well, he does – you can see the dog shifting his hindquarters every now and then – but reckon the nail will always be there – somewhere."
The salesman thought for another minute and said, "why doesn't your dog just move to new spot?"
"Well, I reckon it's too much trouble for him to move."
"Didn't you say he was laying on nail."
"Well, he is, but I reckon the nail ain't long enough nor sharp enough," replied the farmer.
I think Celestine's point in her post is that we all have nails that are poking us. But we tend not to act, instead we just howl because the poking ain't painful enough. And her warning is:
Don't wait until the nails really hurt before you take action. Because when that happens, that usually means it's too late to do anything.
But in the story as I have always known it, the nail will never really hurt that much. And that is a far more insidious situation to be in.
A lot of us are in a rut, and many of us know that we are in a rut. And we know that we should do something about it. The challenge is that we become, not so much comfortable; but rather, resigned to where we are at.
And that resignation is because the nail isn't long enough or sharp enough to make us move. We just squirm instead.
A life of mediocrity comes from acceptance.
But it doesn't have to – and you don't have to accept it.
Tony Robbins, I think, has taught that pain or the avoidance of pain is a great motivator.
Yet, fundamental change – a profound paradigm shift doesn't have to come from avoidance of pain or because the poking got too painful. It can come just as easily by focusing on how you want your life to be scripted. At the end of your days, what would you want your loved ones, your friends, your co-workers, and your neighbors to say about you (as taught by Stephen Covey).
Is the life you lead now; the life you want your most important people to remember you by.
If it is, then so be it.
If it is not, then what must you do to achieve that life?
That nail, in and of itself, will never propel you to your life's destiny. It will be there as a dull and constantly reminder of the rut you live in, but that is all.
What will propel you to move can only be your desire to live a life that you want your most important people to remember you by. (By the way, that's not to say that you should script your life to others – I'm not talking you becoming a puppet. Rather, you want to live your life, the way you want to live it; but hopefully, a life worth remembering well by others)
Do this:
- Take a weekend to write out the eulogies that you want your loved ones to say about you.
- Write down the things that are most important to you.
- Write down the things that you most want to do.
- Write down the things that you are most proud of.
- Write down the values that you cherish most.
- Write down the the people you admire most and why.
- Write down what you believe to be your strongest skills.
Then looking at all that, discern the common traits, or ask your mentor for help in discerning the common themes. Once you understand themes that run in your life, write a personal mission statement for yourself.
And let this mission statement be your guide. You may decide to abandon your rut dramatically. Or you may decide to transition gradually to what you really want to do. Or you may decide that you need to stay where you are. Your mission statement may guide in determining that you are where you need to be.
If that is what it tells you, then be strong and make the most of the rut you are in. And then, it no longer becomes a rut.
In the end, I agree with Celestine – you must act. You must make a conscious decision to move on or stay – and if you stay – then do it willingly, not by resignation.
Do not resign yourself to laying on nail – shifting your butt now and then – just because the nail ain't long enough or sharp enough.
But if you do – then accept it consciously – and stop howling for sympathy.

|Preparation of GM1 ganglioside molecular species having homogeneous fatty acid and long chain base moieties.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 3989384 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|A new procedure is described for preparing the molecular species of GM1 ganglioside that carry a single fatty acid (myristic (C14:0), stearic (C18:0), arachidic (C20:0) or lignoceric (C24:0) acid) and a single long chain base (C18 or C20 sphingosine, C18 or C20 sphinganine, each of them in natural 3D(+)erythro or unnatural 3L(-)threo form). The procedure consisted of the following steps: a) alkaline hydrolysis of GM1 ganglioside in the presence of tetramethylammonium hydroxide, which produces de-N-acylation of the ceramide and de-N-acetylation of the sialic acid residue; b) specific re-N-acylation at the long chain base amino group with a new fatty acid (myristic, stearic, arachidic, or lignoceric) in the presence of 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethyl-carbodiimide hydrochloride; and c) final re-N-acetylation at the level of the sialic acid residue. GM1 ganglioside molecular species, completely homogeneous in the ceramide portion, were prepared by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography. The GM1 ganglioside molecular species were analyzed for saccharide, fatty acid, and long chain base composition by chemical and spectrometric analyses. Using a combination of the two procedures, 32 different molecular species of GM1 ganglioside, over 99% homogeneous, have been prepared.
