Condensing boiler – Wikipedia. Condensing boilers are water heaters fueled by gas or oil. They achieve high efficiency (typically greater than 90% on the higher heating value) by condensing water vapour in the exhaust gases and so recovering its latent heat of vaporisation, which would otherwise have been wasted.This condensed vapour leaves the system in liquid form, via a drain.Get a Quote

Tessara's Semester in Ghana
Organized by: Tessara Dudley
Past the Halfway Point
November 02, 2016
My name is Tessara Dudley. I'm a senior at Portland State University, heading into my last year of undergraduate study for a bachelor's in Black Studies with a Writing minor. I never thought I'd get the chance to study abroad, but as I prepare to apply to grad school and refine my goals for the future, I've decided to make this dream come true. As a disabled student of color from a working class background, I've struggled in higher education, but the support of brilliant professors, wonderful friends, and a loving family has helped me to persevere. Now, I have the chance to make a long-time dream come true: I've been accepted to the University of Ghana for the fall semester, where I'll have the chance to study the history of Ghana, the Black diaspora, and African resistance to colonization. This coursework will set me up to successfully apply to graduate programs in history, so I can research the African diaspora, get a PhD, and teach at the university level. This fundraiser will allow me to cover the semester's costs beyond what my financial aid will cover. The cost of the program, including housing, tuition, books and supplies, food, and travel is about $11,500; currently, my financial aid for the term is $5,501, leaving me with $5,999 to cover on my own. I plan to seek temp work this summer, but there's no way I'll earn enough to cover all of that — and the housing deposit of $250 is due by June 1st. I'm asking the community to invest in me, so I can reach my goals and come back to reinvest in our community. I am a freelance writer, the founder of a small publishing company, racial and LGBTQ2 justice educator, and a former member of my university's student government. I have experience working in nonprofit development, and providing community support and advocacy for marginalized populations, including: LGBTQ2 people, disabled people, communities of color, and undocumented students. I am passionate and driven, dedicated to social justice and community uplift. I want to teach history because I believe that knowing about our past can help us build stronger communities and that it is vital to know and understand our history to create a better future. Please support me: donate as you can, and share this fundraiser. Your help will allow me to achieve my dreams and continue doing important work to serve our community. Program Details: I'll be traveling through a USAC program, spending the fall semester at the University of Ghana in Accra, from August 12th to December 13th. The program includes a tour of the city, a welcome dinner, and a field trip to Ada Beach. I'll be taking 15 to 18 credits, including a language course and a mandatory political science/sociology course on Ghanaian society and politics. Cost Breakdown: $5,920 = Program Fee, including tuition; $1,273 = Housing in the University of Ghana dorms; ~$750 = Food for the duration of the program; $163 = Student Visa (includes passport return envelope); $120 = Non-Citizen ID card; $50 = Residence Permit; ~$60 = Textbooks and school supplies; ~$160 = Transportation and in-country travel; ~$600 = Immunizations and medical preparation, incl. 4 mos of current meds, and ~5 mos of anti-malarial meds; ~$2,400 = Round-trip airfare

What Water Activities Can You Do in Phuket?
There are a lot of water activities in Phuket to add some action to your holiday. The range goes from easy stuff like parasailing, all the way to real action sports like surfing and wakeboarding.
1. Snorkelling
Phuket is an excellent place for snorkelling and the beaches with rocky ends or rocks under the surface are great to observe sea life. Among the 40 beaches available in Phuket, we identified 11 that are great for this activity. You may find snorkelling rental on some of these beaches (we saw some on Ao Sane Beach), but it is easy, cheap and probably more hygienic to buy your gear in one of the many shops selling these on the main beaches around the island. If you need a lifejacket, that is another story, ask your hotel. There are also some great day trips to islands nearby for an even better experience. Just remember not to feed the fish and not to touch or collect coral or shells from the sea, it is strictly illegal. Find out about the 11 Best snorkelling beaches in Phuket.
2. Scuba Diving
Phuket and the many islands around are a diver's paradise. Water is warm and clear (most of the time), diving is available all year round, and there are more dive centres than you will ever need. You can be a total beginner or an advanced diver, there will be a dive option for you, from Nitrox to Wreck diving, as a day trip or liveaboards cruises for all budget. Read more about diving in Phuket and see the Best Dive Centers in Phuket
3. Kayaking
There are two ways to enjoy kayaking in Phuket. First, you rent from some beaches or borrow from your hotel (usually luxury hotels) and use to play on the beach. It can be quite physical, but it is up to your stamina. Just remember that if the sea is quiet and inviting during high season (December to May), it can be rough during low season, even if the sky is bright blue.
Then you can try kayaking in Phang Nga Bay, which is not an activity since the guide that accompanies you around the limestones cliffs usually does the paddling for you when booking a day trip. Read more about Kayaking in Phang Nga Bay
5. Surfing
Surfing is very popular in the low season when the sea is rough. Waves are not very high and don't last very long, but you will see a lot of surfers enjoying themselves in Kata, Kata Noi Kalim and Kamala Beach. Small surfing schools flourish on the beach during these months. You can rent short or longboards and take classes to learn how to surf. There is even a Quicksilver Surf Competition in Patong, Kata and Kalim Beaches from June to September. Read more
5. Flowboarding or Flow Riding
If you dream of surfing but are too scared or lazy to paddle to find a wave to ride, there is a fun and easy option: flow boarding. Ride an artificial wave on a small and relatively stable board in the safety of a giant rubber slider. Anyone succeed in just a few minutes, and it is effortless. Of course, it won't teach you much about real surfing, but you get a bit of gliding sensation, and you can try some moves once you are comfortable. It's a bit costly and usually short because there is always a bit of a queue, but it's a lot of fun. There are 2 Surf House in Phuket: Surf House Patong and Surf House Kata near the beach.
6. Kite Surfing
Kite surfing is only possible a few months per year and usually only in a few locations: Nai Yang Beach and Rawai Beach
7. Cable Ski Wakeboarding
There are three lakes with cables rides in Phuket. Two run counterclockwise near Patong and the airport, and one clockwise in Cherngtalay. Wakeboarding on a lake is fun and relatively easy, offering a range of levels from beginners' kneeboard to expert obstacle jumps. If you fall, someone comes and pick you up very quickly so you can restart within minutes. It's a bit expensive, starting at 750 baht per hour, but fun and exhilarating. You can rent everything you need on the spot: helmet, board and life jacket.
- Phuket Wake Park in Kathu (near Patong)
- Anthem Wake Park in Cherngtalay
- International Wake Park IWP near Phuket Airport.
8. Jet Skis
The way it goes in Phuket, Jet Ski is not a sport. It's more of an activity, just like riding a motorbike would be. You will find Jet skis the main tourist beach of Patong, Kata, Karon and Kamala beach, but most people frown upon those noisy and polluting machines, dangerously zooming close to swimmers and each other. They are also known for their costly scams when you may be accused of damaging the jets and therefore are forced to pay a hefty fine to the owner, no matter if it is true or not. Better stay away from Jet Ski, it is not worth the risk. Expect to pay 1,500 baht for 30 mn on a 1 person jetski or 2,000 baht for 30 mn on a bigger 2 persons jetski.
9. Parasailing
Parasailing is very easy and very casual and not too expensive for a short ride in one of the tourist bays of Phuket. All you have to do is let a crew equip you with a harness right on the beach, and a speedboat will approach and throw a cable. A beach boy will attach the cable to your harness and the boat powers up, lifting you in the sky. The surprising part is when the beach boy suddenly grabs the parachute, climbs above you and hangs the during the whole ride! Safety is minimal, and accidents are not unheard of. Parasailing in Phuket costs 1,200 baht for a child and 1,500 baht for an adult.

Today was a lot more emotional
than I thought. I feel that I found a connection
with snowboarding. David… We were up at 4:30 this morning. But you see the mountains,
and you see the landscape. It gives you energy. The challenge of it,
physically, mentally, emotionally, I like to push the boundaries. Climbing up was tough, actually. We're quite high up
with, obviously, altitude. It took a minute to get used to it,
but I couldn't not enjoy this. I actually don't mind being a student. – Are you nervous?
– No. – Not at all?
– A little bit! The mountains, the snow,
everything about it is spectacular, so you enjoy it. As soon as I'm on the slopes,
I feel 18 again. It's a great thing to try and learn
from a world-class athlete. It's been an incredible experience
and I want to do more. What do we do next?
I don't know. It's like we say, born to dare. So, we'll see.

has anyone tracked how RAM prices fall? i'm looking at buying RAM from Crucial and i'm trying to figure out if the 1GB RAM for my iBook will come down any more (it's at just under $100 right now). from what i can tell, though, there's a limit as to how much they will drop (for example, 512MB for my iBook is around $50 right now, and is the middle of three levels (128MB, 512MB, and 1GB), whereas the RAM for the latest round of MacBooks has the following three levels: 512MB (about $25), 1GB (about $55) and 2GB (about $110). it seems from this that 1GB of RAM for my particular iBook won't drop below the price it's at right now...thoughts?

Ephesians 5:1-21 Sermon Podcast - The Darkness, the Wrath, the Light, and the Joy
Published March 17, 2019 at 11:00 AM
Today Paul challenges us in one of our most personal and private areas – sex. But he does so in a way that is not only challenging but liberating – all based not on archaic rules and regulations, but on a dynamic, joyful present tense relationship with God as our Heavenly Father. God is saying "I know how the world lives, I know how all those around you live, but I am calling YOU to come follow me and live a different way. On this Saint Patrick's Day Sunday we end with a daily prayer from Patrick that offers hope and promise for the road of life.

Out of my 4 accounts only my main had gotten the email as that's the only account that I sell lindens on and pull it out. Normally I see their emails 2-3 times when they're sent out. You won't have to provide your SS# unless you're pulling cash from the tilia otherwise the only thing you have to do is accept the ToS for the tilia as we use it for MP purchases and linden purchases as well.
The tilia we're already are using for this. I just paid my land tier with my tilia balance, I had cashed out lindens to cover it. It'll still happen just fine but to process the fee, it sounds like we'll have to log onto our tilia accounts to move that USD balance over to whatever place we then want it to go. The cashout fees aren't changing since the last fee increase not too long ago. Another user in the second life commerce group that I am in had found where they had stated the fees. It's still 3.5% on the lindex then another 5% processing fee. Right and the inactivity charge is if the balance itself hasn't increased or decreased since it was put in there for 12 months since the deposit. I gave the tilia ToS a quick scan through but will be reading it more in detail later. You shouldn't be charge a fee as you aren't holding a balance on the Tilia.
The only thing you would have to watch out for is the inactivity but that shouldn't be an issue since your fees will come out every month for premium/land and you'll be adding to it. It's not like the balance is sitting there untouched. You'll won't need to provide anything as you aren't taking the balance from the tilia and moving it to your bank account or paypal. All you're doing with it is using it back within secondlife. Technically we are already using the tilia and they're just pushing out the last few steps. You should be fine and pretty much unaffected by the new change.
Not yet sure if anyone has replied to this yet but we have already been using the tilia all over secondlife. Marketplace purchases have been using it since they had redid how our purchases were made and the tilia is already on our accounts for those that have been cashing it. They switched it over when they had moved where we find the link for the process credit on the account overview. They're now just making it official and doing the last few steps of enacting it.
Moderate 3072m2 for 4000L$
drusilladarkwillow posted a topic in Parcels for Sale: Mainland3072m2 grassland on a quiet sim for sale. It has 1054 prims with an asking price of 4000L$. I can also rent it out upon request. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Taravista/78/238/45
It was never implied. You're taking it that way because you feel attacked. That's your problem not mine. This whole thread is mainly just an opinion piece and really a good bit of it can be taken as personal attacks if you decide to take it that way.
I never said it was. You're putting words into my mouth that were never there and taking it a bit too personally.
That's good for you and I'm glad that it makes you happy. But in my personal opinion no one should depend on sl as it can be shut down or they can shut down at any given point and what would you do then? You can't really use them as a job reference. You'll have more skills, yes but no reference. It's just my personal opinion, don't take it so personally.
Well one could always just leave on their tilia what LL takes out for land and account fees and take out the rest for whatever you may need it for irl. That's what I do but I also work as well irl so I don't depend on what I make from sales on here.
Well mesh body parts already start off around 1,000L$ and above, many aren't in love with it to want to spend that at once plus they'll need a whole new wardrobe. It's a lot to swallow. Well the problem here is the fact that Linden Labs doesn't have to offer us the option of cashing anything out. They can also get rid of that option whenever they please or even shut down their service. For those reasons, second life should never be anyone's main source of income as it's not always grantee that it will be around in another 5 or so years. Hell even a very popular and only good mobile app has been pulled from the third party viewers site as well as google's play store as the creator of it has been MIA for awhile and it's not supported.
No one can tell a merchant what to do. What everyone is really doing is stating their opinions. All of this can go about in many different ways and depending on your target market it'll differ on how well any change you do will go with them. Heck you could discontinue a product, release something a bit like the discontinued item but much better and not offer upgrades on it. Some will be upset and others will go ahead and buy the new product as they understand. Everything is pretty much 50/50 on how people take it. That's the way of the world. Every merchant is going to handle this increase differently as well. I disagree a little bit here. SL will be a poorer place due to how little they expand our platform, fix what's already broken and advertise their own system. I don't hear much from Linden Labs on secondlife on the web. I see blogs from other people and all which is great but if they really want to bring in more people then they'll need to advertise, maybe even in the magazines and t.v. commercials. I have to explain what Second Life is to many people when they ask me what I do for fun and after awhile you just end up saying "I play on a virtual world, it's pretty fun". The problem here is that there are a lot of virtual worlds out there with a bit more coverage and those are the ones that they'll think of.
People will still eat there. Minimal wage is going up, McDonalds said that they were going to get rid of their cashiers and put in self check-outs which they did. The older customers complained about it, they kept one register for those who pay with cash or would rather go to them to order their food. I pay $2 more for my meal now then what I did last year. We all adjust to it. I'm was playing around with numbers and cashing out, for me, it's not that much of a difference. For the bigger merchants who file their secondlife income on their taxes, they have already stated that it'll be added in with their taxes. I want to say that the ones who are effected the most by it are those who are living off of their income from their sales, it'll just make things a little bit tougher for them and a bit more work to get things where they need it.
An even smaller piece of the pie
drusilladarkwillow replied to Desudesudesuka's topic in MerchantsWell as I read the post that Fox wants a source for, she's pretty much is saying that many people on average are spending that much but there really is no data for that and she should source something like that when she's adding in other people and not just herself. I am a hobby creator and I have some breedables that I do. I cash out when I have enough to cover some unexpected bills irl or I keep it on my account to cover my tier and such. I know that some creators just write off those fees when they do their taxes as some have stated within the secondlife marketplace commerce group. Everything increases over time and I'm looking into processing fees and all that as I'm going to be opening my own bakery. Processing credit cards is not cheap at all and the fees is different for each card type which is why some cards aren't accepted by smaller merchants. There are about 14 groups that I'm in that I don't really need and could drop without an issue which would put me below 35 groups. As a premium member, I don't need 70 groups as I've never been one to be in a ton of groups to start off with. As a small merchant, I don't even bother with a store group, I do a subscriber instead. It saves everyone a space and lets be honest here, I don't send out a lot of notices anyways so my group would be one of the first few to be dropped. I am happy that the land is getting cheaper, I have always wanted to own a full sim to play around with and that is starting to be closer to my price range. The cash out fee is a pain but it's easy to offset. Most merchants already have their MP items a bit more expensive then what it is inworld due to the fee that the MP takes out per sale. As a consumer, I don't mind when prices are increased as it doesn't change the quality of the work. I already love the store and will drop a good bit during my shopping sprees as those are the places where I'll stop at first. Stores come and go based on how much time that person has to spend on it and how their offline life is becoming. I already know of a few systems inworld who have been slowly raising prices as they grow before all of this and people still shop like crazy there. I haven't heard or seen any complaints about it from them.
My Marketplace Listings, how do they fall in line
drusilladarkwillow replied to rainbow Fairymeadow's topic in MerchantsIt also depends on how you filter it and how you want the results to be arranged on your page. I sometimes go from lowest to highest within a certain price range that I'm willing to spend during that particular shopping spree. If there's an inworld store, I may also go there to see if they have more products that aren't listed and to see if there are any displays or demos so that I can better see the item. Sometimes the marketplace is just another search for a good bit of consumers so you may get a lot of views but not sales from the MP as they may be buying it from you inworld instead.
Tags are mainly just for you. No one really pays attention to them and some people even have that option turned off within their viewer. I for one pay no attention to what tag someone has over their head.

NEW ORLEANS — Marching bands, about 20 floats and almost 400 riders were set to roll for Krewe of Nyx's first summer parade. However, planning came to a halt late Monday night when the city turned down the krewe's proposal.
"There was nothing that was indicated to us that this would not be a go," said Krewe of Nyx Board of Directors' member, Lisa Ciuffi. "We had decorated beach throws as part of our little theme. We had Nyx rubber duckies."
Details were still being ironed out, but they hoped that day would be the first-ever summer parade for New Orleans.
"It was in between Essence Festival and White Linen night, so we thought that would be a good weekend where things weren't happening in the city where we could do this," Ciuffi said.
The idea was to bring an economic boost to the city in true New Orleans fashion.

"All of our sisters loved riding so we thought to unite the sisters together again and benefit the city bringing in money and revenue during the summer months when tourism hits a lull," she said.
The parade, with the theme Summer Lovin', was supposed to start near Elysian Fields Avenue and North Peters Street, go down Decatur Street and ultimately end near Tchoupitoulas and Andrew Higgins. The city, though, said no way.
"We saw the press release and that's how we found out about it," Ciuffi said. "So until last night we were moving forward."
Mayor LaToya Cantrell put out a statement late Monday night calling the parade off. It said:
"While I have the utmost respect for what Nyx has achieved as an all-women's Carnival Krewe, and I applaud them for their commitment to our children and our community —unfortunately I cannot support the addition of a summer parade. Their proposed second parade places demands on our public safety resources in the middle of hurricane season, and it is not something our NOPD leadership is comfortable with. Their request has been denied, and the event will not proceed."
"Obviously we're all disappointed and stunned," Ciuffi said. "Mayor Cantrell's decision is what we have to deal with and we respect it and we keep moving forward."
However, the Krewe says they'll push ahead with other activities instead, including focusing on planning for next year's Mardi Gras parade, which they say won't disappoint.
"We didn't want to put any strain on the city's resources to do this, that was never the intention," she said. "It would've been something fun for the city."
A request for interview or statement from the city was not returned by air time.

Holi is an ancient Hindu religious festival which has become popular with non-Hindus in many parts of South Asia, as well as people of other communities outside Asia. In addition to India and Nepal, the festival is celebrated by Indian subcontinent diaspora in countries such as Jamaica, Suriname, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, South Africa, Malaysia, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Mauritius, and Fiji.] In recent years the festival has spread to parts of Europe and North America as a spring celebration of love, frolic, and colours.
Holi is the Festival of Love and also known as the Festival of Colors. The origins of Holi lie in ancient Hindu traditions where Holi was celebrated to mark the arrival of spring. Holi is also related to the legend of Holiya, the evil sister of demon king Hiranyakashipu, who tried to burn Hiranyakashipu's son Prahlada. Prahlada had maintained faith in god (Vishnu), while Hiranyakashipu contended that he was god. Wearing a cloak that guarded her from fire, Holika lured Prahlada into a fire but the cloak that was guarding Holiya flew off her and protected Prahlada instead. Since then, on the eve of Holi, a bonfire named Holiya is lit to signify the triumph of good over evil and celebrate it. Holi also celebrates knowledge over ignorance, and love over hate.
Central to most Holi festivals are bright colors that are often thrown, sprayed or painted on. For this reason Holi is often refer to as the Festival of Colors.Traditionally colors were achieved through dyes that were made from turmeric, sandalwood, flower an leaf extracts, and beetroots. Sadly, in recent times synthetic color dyes are often used during Holi festivals. These dyes often use unhealthy ingredients or cause allergic reactions. People often recommend rubbing coconut oil into and onto your skin to prevent commercial dyes from absorbing.
If you attend a Holi celebration in India and Nepal, you may encounter bhang, a tea made from cannabis leaves. It is frequently served at some Holi celebrations there. Bhang also contains milk, butter and spicies (cinnamon or nutmeg)
Holi is the day to express love with colors. It is a time to show affection. All the colors that are on you are of love. – Anonymous
You don't have to follow the Hindu religion to enjoy Holi. Festivals are held across cities in the United States, especially where there is a large Hindu or Yoga community and all sorts of people attend. Festivals often includes yoga demonstrations, Bollywood music, color dye toss, and always all sorts of Indian food.
No festival in your area? Try watching the Bollywood movie Mohabbatein (2000). It includes scenes where a song called Soni Soni is played during a holi festival celebration in India. Indian movies are often like Western musicals so it will probably appeal to that audience. If those sorts of movies don't appeal to you, you can cheet up the house by decorating with colorful ribbons and adornments to recognize the holi festival. Marigold flowers are traditionally hung over balconies, railings and staircases. Sofa cushions are often covered with bold, bright colors. Walls are traditionally covered with colorful fabric patchwork. You can try eating at an Indian restaurant on this day to enjoy some Holi specialty sweet dishes such as shakarpara (sweet crispy bread), gujjias (sweet fried dumplings), kheer (rice pudding) and malpua (pancakes). Holi is about goodness, love and color, so indulge and enjoy.

1. Aesthetics
2. Protection

As a company Painters Touch has spent a lot of time painting the exterior of heritage homes. Heritage homes are an important part of the heritage, culture, and arts of London, Ontario. Most of the heritage homes in London were built in the 1800s or early 1900s. It was then many of the home builders put time, care and artistic thought into the building of these homes. Our job as painters is to help preserve and sustain the beauty of these homes. It is also our job to restore and bring out the beauty that has been lost in some homes. We care about heritage homes.
Painting and keeping up with ones exterior house painting is the wisest thing for a homeowner to do. It preserves the wood. In the case where wood has began to rot we can replace this wood and also patch holes.

There's no better way to get in the festive mood than head to a Christmas-themed market and Dubai's hotels have pulled out all the stops to make your Christmas extra-special:
- Winter Garden Market, St. Regis
The newest kid on the block, the Winter Garden Market is set at the stunning Versailles Garden in Al Habtoor City, which really help add that extra European feel to the festivities. Although, there are a few F&B stalls and a DJ playing a catalog of Christmas hits, the small size of the event is disappointing and leaves a lot to be desired. The beautiful Versailles Garden, in itself, is definitely worth a visit during the cooler months.
Entry: Free
2. Festive Market, Souk Madinat Jumeirah
Although getting in and parking are a massive challenge due to the throngs of crowds there, the Festive Market covers all grounds to keep everyone entertained: there's an ice rink (AED 20), North Pole train (AED 20) and an Abra ride (which are decked out in Christmas decorations) with Santa (AED 25) to get the kids in the Christmas spirits. There's also alcoholic beverages, tons of festive food stalls (do make it a point to try their scrumptious Festive Turkey sausages for AED 50), live music from a talented band who evened out Christmas songs with the latest pop hits to keep the adults happy too. The winter wonderland is stunningly decorated as well making the event a must-visit during the festive season
Entry: Free
Verdict: Brush off your ugliest Christmas sweater and be sure to head to the Festive Market at Madinat Jumeirah – it has a little something for everyone.
Happy holidays, folks! If there are any nice Christmas-themed spots you think I should head to in the UAE, then do mention them in the comments below :).

'I just feel like it's time': Tennis star Andy Roddick calls it quits at U.S. Open - on his 30th birthday
Stepping down: Andy Roddick called a news conference on Thursday - his 30th birthday - to say that he will retire after this year's U.S. Open
Andy Roddick is ready to walk away from tennis whenever his U.S. Open ends.
The 2003 U.S. Open champion and former No. 1-ranked player surprisingly announced his plans to retire at a news conference at Flushing Meadows on Thursday, his 30th birthday.
'I'll make this short and sweet: I've decided that this is going to be my last tournament,' said Roddick, wearing a black T-shirt and baseball cap with his clothing sponsor's logos.
'I just feel like it's time. I don't know that I'm healthy enough or committed enough to go another year,' he said. 'I've always wanted to, in a perfect world, finish at this event.'
The 20th-seeded Roddick is scheduled to play 19-year-old Bernard Tomic of Australia in the second round Friday night at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
'I think I wanted an opportunity to say goodbye to people, as well. I don't know how tomorrow's going to go, and I hope it goes well, and I'm sticking around,' Roddick said.
He was, by turns, in reflective and joking moods while speaking to reporters about his decision.
'If I do run into some emotions tomorrow or in four days, I don't want people to think I'm a little unstable. Or more unstable,' Roddick said with a chuckle. 'So that's why I came to this decision.'
His title in New York nine years ago was the last time an American man won a Grand Slam singles title, and Roddick spoke wistfully - as he often has in the past - about coming to the U.S. Open with his parents as a present he turned 8 years old.
Roddick has been married to model and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover girl Brooklyn Decker since 2009.
He said he's 'been thinking about (retirement) for a little bit,' and knew for sure that the time to quit was now after his 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 first-round victory over 21-year-old American Rhyne Williams on Tuesday.

Champion: Roddick, who turned pro in 2000, said he knew in the first Round of the U.S. Open that this tournament would be his last
Cheering section: Roddick is married to model and Sports Illustrated cover girl Brooklyn Decker, left. The couple tied the knot in 2009
'I've thought all year that I would know when I got to this tournament,' he said, 'and when I played the first round, I knew.'
- Won U.S. Open in 2003, the same year he was ranked No. 1 in the world
- Reached the finals at Wimbledon three times (2003, 2004 and 2009) and was defeated by Roger Federer each time
- Last American tennis player to win a Grand Slam singles event
- Owns 32 career titles
In addition to winning his U.S. Open trophy, Roddick also played in four other Grand Slam finals - three at Wimbledon and one at the U.S. Open, losing to 17-time major champion Roger Federer each time.
That included a 16-14 defeat in the fifth set at the All England Club in 2009, when Roddick was saluted by spectators who chanted his name at the end of the match.
Roddick's announcement came one day after four-time major champion Kim Clijsters played the last singles match of her career, a second-round loss to Laura Robson at Flushing Meadows.
'I haven't done this before. I'm sure it'll be very emotional. I'm sure I'll still be nervous,' Roddick said, looking ahead to facing Tomic. 'I don't know.'

After losing $350,000 in federal grants last year, residents and employees at the Madison homeless shelter Safe Haven say it has survived but is struggling.
The Far East Side shelter, which serves homeless people with mental illnesses, almost closed when the Department of Housing and Urban Development cut its funding. Donations of about $243,000 and $100,000 in one-time funds from Dane County put the shelter back on its feet. But the lack of consistent funding has stretched the shelter thin in staffing and resources.
Safe Haven lost its annual $350,000 in grants when HUD restricted funding to shelters using a "Housing First" approach, which focuses on getting the chronically homeless into housing and then offering them services.
Since the cuts, staff numbers have dwindled, and the shelter is only open and staffed 11 hours a day, rather than the previous 24 hours a day, said Safe Haven Coordinator Marjorie Lewis.
Daytime service hours have been reduced from 7:30 a.m.-8 p.m. to 9 a.m-6 p.m., and the 14-bed overnight shelter was shut down and turned into low-rent apartments for eligible clients. The shelter also lost its dedicated case manager position.
"Honestly, we're providing more services with less staff," Lewis said. "It's going well, but it's challenging. It's required us to really work hard to find efficiencies in terms of how we're working with our clients."
Safe Haven's clients, who require specific and varied care, are reflected in the diverse services the shelter provides, including three meals per day, laundry service, counseling for mental health and substance-abuse problems, in-home care for disabled residents and one-on-one mentoring.
Although the overnight shelter is gone, Safe Haven still provides cots during the day for visitors who need to rest. Lewis said that in recent months, Safe Haven employees have also become increasingly focused on crisis stabilization for clients in distress.
Struggle over loss of hours
Dave Schueler, 66, who uses Safe Haven's daytime services, said the reduction in hours is the most pressing problem at the shelter right now.
"I'd like to see them go back to the daytime hours they had before," Schueler said. "I hear rumors that they're struggling to keep funding coming in, and I'd do anything if it would help (the shelter)."
Early-morning and late-night hours are especially important for homeless people who are struggling with mental illness or addiction, and those are Safe Haven's target clients, said Corey Brown, a combat veteran and Safe Haven resident.
"If you ask me, those (late-night and early-morning hours) are the most important hours," he said. "It establishes you so you're not involved in trouble. I'm a recovering addict, and it helped me. ... The fact that you can eat, get a shower, get a bus ticket — that was a relief that helped me get on my feet."
Brown lives in one of the 14 new one-room apartments carved out of the space that used to be the overnight shelter. The apartments rent for $400 a month and help sustain the shelter and provide permanent housing for clients.
You have free articles remaining.
They're in addition to the 34 larger rental apartments that Safe Haven already had.
The new rooms seem to have become the funding cuts' silver lining, Brown said. The low cost of the rooms and the independence they give tenants have given many residents "more room to grow" as they transition into permanent housing, he said.
"It's a stepping stone. It helps a whole lot of people out," he said.
New guidelines create rifts
Such physical changes have been accompanied by ideological ones, as well.
The shelter has since become more invested in Housing First, Lewis said. In April, it stopped requiring clients to be sober to access services and launched an initiative to "take people from where they're at," she said.
While the new policies have meant Safe Haven provides housing to more people, the switch has disrupted dynamics in what used to be the only sober-living facility available to the homeless in Madison.
Two Safe Haven residents, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of losing their housing, said that since the shelter implemented Housing First, drug and alcohol abuse have re-entered the community and diminished their quality of life.
At least six residents who had been sober before Housing First have since relapsed under the new approach, one of the residents said.
"There used to be treatment programs, and now there's nothing. ... You can't just put active addicts in with recovering addicts and expect everybody to stay clean," the resident said.
Safe Haven still counsels clients with substance-abuse problems during case-management sessions, Lewis said, but in a way that prioritizes keeping residents in housing, rather than kicking them out for breaking the rules.
"Rather than kicking someone out for being intoxicated, we work to de-escalate or redirect residents who are behaving inappropriately for any reason," she said in an email. "Basically, we address the problem behaviors directly rather than the intoxication."
To stay open next year, the shelter hopes to receive $175,000 in funding from Dane County, Lewis said.
After the $100,000 infusion from the county last year, employees are hopeful the additional funding will be approved.
But Stephanie Miller, director of communications for Dane County Executive Joe Parisi, said the 2017 funding was a "one-time allocation to backfill a large federal funding cut."

Must Read: How Supreme Changed Fashion Forever, CFDA Unveils Shorter New York Fashion Week Schedule
These are the stories making headlines in fashion on Wednesday.
How Supreme changed fashion forever
Supreme sprung to life as a frenetic meet-up spot for the growing downtown New York skate community. "Since its beginning, in 1994, Supreme has slowly worked its way to the very center of culture and fashion," writes Noah Johnson for GQ. "Or more accurately, culture and fashion have reconfigured themselves around Supreme." The quiet mastermind behind it all, James Jebbia, provides his side of the story and shares his vision and design philosophy with GQ in a piece about the brand's fashion legacy. {GQ}
CFDA unveils shorter New York Fashion Week schedule
The CFDA released the New York Fashion Week Spring 2020 lineup on Tuesday, signaling an end summer. It was a harsh reality check for editors that have been enjoying a much-needed break, but it wasn't all bad news: NYFW will only run for five days, instead of dragging on for the usual eight. Telfar will be the opening act, and Marc Jacobs will wrap up the festivities on Sept. 11 at 6 p.m. sharp. {WWD}
Forever 21 under fire for body-shaming after sending diet bars with orders
Twitter users spent most of Tuesday blasting Forever 21 after several of the retailer's customers found Atkins bars with their online purchases. Many people called the move "tone deaf" and "dangerous," as it could potentially trigger customers who suffer from self-image issues. People also accused the retailer of only including diet bars with orders from its plus-size line. The company then released an apology statement to Jezebel, saying that the "freebie items in question were included in all online orders, across all sizes and categories, for a limited time and have since been removed." {Jezebel}
Instagram is the fastest-growing platform for magazines
According to a new report from MPA-The Association of Magazine Media, magazines had a follower growth increase of 6.3 % on Instagram during the second quarter of this year, while Facebook and Twitter audiences for magazines grew hardly at all. For 100 magazines, Facebook likes on content and followers on Twitter grew less than 1%. {WWD}
How dewy skin became a global obsession
For years, the beauty industry and magazines convinced women to combat shine. Then, social media said otherwise, and suddenly our Instagram feeds became filled with endless variations of dewy skin. So why did women starting chasing the glow? The rise of K-beauty, the minimal makeup Glossier effect and the ascent of athleisure all factored into this evolution. {Quartz}
TikTok is changing beauty standards for Gen Z
FaceTuning is out, and pigtails are in as E-Girls on TikTok replace the skinny tea-selling influencers on Instagram. "If Instagram provided an early set of standards for millennials, then TikTok is doing the same for Gen Z, just in a much more supportive and, frankly, more interesting way," writes Roisin Lanigan for i-D. "E-Girl's wouldn't dream of photoshopping their videos." Instead, they're all about experimenting with creative makeup, whether that means dramatically rouged cheeks or excessive liquid eyeliner. {i-D}
Catbird launches capsule collection with Leith Clark
Catbird teamed up with stylist Leith Clark on a nine-piece capsule collection, comprised of ribbon ear climbers, necklaces, moonstone chokers and rings, charms and more.

To celebrate the launch, the jewelry brand is donating $10,000 to Planned Parenthood of New York City. {Fashionista inbox}
LVMH is still having a very good year
After starting 2019 on a very profitable note, LVMH has maintained its strong momentum in the second quarter. The French conglomerate's overall revenues were up 15% in the three months ending on June 30 to 12.54 billion euros, bringing its total revenue for this year to 25.1 billion euros. The luxury giant said sales in the fashion and leather goods division, which includes Fendi, Dior and Givenchy, climbed 20% during the quarter, beating consensus estimates. Stellar performances from Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior Couture also contributed to its robust growth. {Fashionista inbox}

Bet the (Imaginary) Ranch
To the Editor:
I read about your college investment contest ("Not Just Academic," Aug. 30) with some amusement, for I once was put in the position of managing a virtual portfolio. The college course offered a guaranteed A to whomever won the contest.
Due to some absenteeism, I decided to use some extreme leverage with futures in currencies and equity indexes to win the contest.
A 40% return in one month gave me the top spot, but I was hardly the best analyst. I simply understood that, in order to win a contest similar to yours, leverage and volatility must be maximized. Without using a risk-adjusted return on capital, your contest will not determine who is the best stock analyst, but rather simply who understands the structure of the game better (and has a bit of luck).
With nothing to lose, the choice is simple: Bet the ranch.

Merger Proposal
To the Editor:
Alan Abelson recently pointed out that there's not much overlap between the readers of Barron's and of Playboy. In subsequent issues, you've touted the merits of companies in seemingly disparate fields merging. Well, don't you see the obvious for yourself? Dow Jones should acquire Playboy Enterprises. Think of all the synergies.
Your daily could be renamed Wall Street Playboy, which should greatly increase circulation. ("Journal" is so old-fashioned).
And, instead of being supported by his cane, Clarence Barron could be leaning upon a comely young female friend. (Why don't you ask him if he wouldn't prefer that?)
You better act fast, and acquire Playboy quickly...before it acquires you. Or before Rupert Murdoch, who knows a thing or two about combining journalism and sex in News Corp. subsidiaries, acquires you both.

Tuning Out
To the Editor:
With reference to your article on the glum outlook for radio ("Losing The Signal," Aug. 30), I can't tell you why other people abandoned radio; I can tell you why I have. Radio has no programming these days -- just talk shows, traffic reports and sports programs (all relatively cheap to deliver).
What we used to call radio died in the 1950s. TV killed it most of the way; changing tastes and other technologies cleaned up the rest. What people call radio today is comprised of so many commercials it's tedious to listen to.
J. R. Landers
Peoria, Ill.
To the Editor:
I believe strongly that there is validity to the Internet, iPod and satellite radio as advertising venues, but they are not worthy of the heavyweight status Barron's implied in the article.
As the National Association of Broadcasters President Eddie Fritts recently said, "The 175 million listeners who choose free, local radio compared to the 2 million subscribers who elect the niche programming of satellite demonstrates which product has wider appeal."
I consult for radio stations and new media/interactive properties across the country, and I'm much more bullish on radio than you are. There is upside in companies who embrace their local communities and support talent. Radio's strength is reaching listeners on a personal emotional level.
Audience share and subsequently company value will increase proportionately to the investment companies make in their talent and local communities.
It's not uncommon for the highest-rated radio station in a market to be recognized as the most active community sponsor and proprietor of the best talent.
Localism is one essential building block of successful radio that satellite and Internet do not have the ability to master on a mass level.

Taking Science for Granted
To the Editor:
The proposal in "The Morals of Science," (Editorial Commentary, Aug. 30) for a post-doc grant of $100,000 a year for 10 years to every one of the 27,000 new Ph.D.s in science and engineering is interesting and would be a positive step toward the funding of innovation. But the fact remains that our scientific community has become addicted to federal research money, and we have created an expanding class of scientists -- not unlike our welfare poor -- dependent upon government grants.
This nation needs policies to tie basic academic research to commercial interests. For starters, let's require that university research grants have some matching component of hard money, not contributions-in-kind from companies.
Martin J. Cooper
Irvine, Calif.
To the Editor:
The proposal to grubstake science Ph.D.s is naïve. How better to pollute any intellectual discipline than to federally fund it? M.A.s and Ph.D.s in education became nonsense when teachers' salaries were tied to them. You wanna fund the behavioral and social engineers? Anthropologists? Chiropractors? Let's get back to shoring up Social Security and sobering up Medicare.
Gary G. Norton
To the Editor:
The key is to fund graduate students and post-docs, but avoid filtering such funding through faculty-generated proposals that are savaged by review committees. Students gravitate to funded faculty (why work in an impoverished group?). Thus, faculty members propose what they think can be funded, not what's risky, creative or daring. Even so, much excellent work gets done.
Funding students instead of faculty members would force the faculty to compete for students, based on their ideas and mentorship, rather than their ability to extract funds from the government.
Doing better science, with better teaching, more inventiveness and less salesmanship and puffery sounds like a winner all around. The hole in the proposal is that a lot of the necessary funds are allocated to tasks other than training (e.g. NIH clinical studies, Small Business Initiated Research, etc.). Universities are terribly undercapitalized; faculty and student time is regarded as free because there's no way to trade time for money or equipment.
There is far too little freedom of inquiry in current U.S. science. Too much time of talented people is wasted on white-collar begging (proposal writing) rather than scholarship, mentorship or community service.
The stem-cell saga is just an additional layer of harassment that interferes with what should be the primary task of scientists: pushing back the frontiers of knowledge to increase our understanding of this still all-too-mysterious world.
Alexander Scheeline
Department of Chemistry
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
To the Editor:
The totistem cell, one of the first half-dozen in the beginning of an embryo, becomes a pluristem cell, which may be coaxed through science to become any kind of cell. There are no totis in the embryonic cell lines but there are thousands of pluristem cells in the placental-umbilical area.
The point: We don't need the pro-life, pro-choice fight. It will be irrelevant. There is a bill floating around Congress that will commit $30 million a year for five years to research this line of inquiry. It is amazing how the light of all this remains hidden under a bed pan.

The First Substantive Session on a Global Pact for the Environment took place at UN Headquarters in Nairobi in January 2019. Member States deliberated on the findings of the UN Secretary-General's report, "Gaps in international environmental law and environment-related instruments: towards a global pact for the environment" and debated the need for a new global pact for the environment".
Currently, there are around 1,500 environmental frameworks, treaties, agreements and bodies, resulting in what many Member States consider to be a fragmented environmental law landscape. This in turn can make cooperation and communication between the various bodies of environmental law difficult and often inefficient.
The proposed global pact aims to create coherence, clarity and consensus in international environmental law by creating a legally binding instrument for all countries, outlining rules and principles on international environmental law. This would be the first international instrument that covers all environmental areas.
During the five day meeting of the Ad Hoc Open Ended Working Group, Member States argued for and against the need for a global pact on the environment and shared their perspectives on the findings of the gap report of the UN Secretary-General. Many delegations welcomed the report of the UN Secretary-General, while some sought to ensure a wider Member State-led discussion on gaps.
Discussions and country reflections included:
- Consideration of new and emergent principles (such as intergenerational equity, environmental democracy and earth system approaches), including some already incorporated in regional environmental instruments, and consideration of principles in need of updating or qualification
- The merits of an overarching normative framework for international environmental law, and the respective merits of specialization in multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs)
- Links between implementation of international environmental law and means of implementation
- Links between the mandate of the ad-hoc working group, Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals
- Whether the case has begun to be made for bringing all international environmental law principles into a new international instrument (the global pact)
Conversations continued throughout the week, as delegations sought to clarify numerous issues in order to develop their positions.
The relationship of a proposed new international instrument with multilateral environmental agreements, as well as the mandate of the ad-hoc working group were points of debate. There is a need to ensure that an international instrument does not weaken existing international environmental standards and processes. In addition, Member States expressed concern on the contents of the Secretary-General's report, calling for more up-to-date information and the use of empirical evidence, with at least one country mentioning that the report goes beyond the mandate of the working group.
At the end of the session, the co-chairs noted the session's constructive, open and transparent and inclusive discussion, with agreement that the work should not undermine existing instruments, bodies and processes, and underlined the importance of conducting work on a consensus basis with a view to a pragmatic outcome. Many delegations recognized the existence of gaps and challenges while others held different views, and further efforts would be needed to establish which gaps could addressed as part of the working group's mandate.
A second substantive session will be held to continue this process from 18 to 20 March 2019 whose agenda will be "discussion of possible options to address possible gaps in international environmental law and environment-related instruments as appropriate."

ScotRail admonished for second time in two months
Ministers have handed ScotRail its second improvement notice in less than two months after passenger satisfaction fell to its lowest level in 15 years.
Overall satisfaction fell to 79 per cent in the national rail passenger survey last month, the same as the UK average.
Transport Focus, the watchdog that carried out the survey, pointed to delays and cancellations for passengers, who were less happy than at any time since 2003, when satisfaction was at 84 per cent.
The rail operator has a contractual target to hit an 88.5 per cent average score across two surveys carried out over the course of the year.
Transport Scotland said it believed it would be extremely difficult for ScotRail to hit that target this franchise year, so it…

Advice to all of you political junkies (of which I am one): take a lesson from the wisest man who ever lived. Proverbs 18:17 TLB "Any story sounds true until someone tells the other side and sets the record straight."
Many Americans have allowed themselves to become insulated from truths they don't like. The only newspapers they read are the ones who report with their political slant. They watch either FOX or MSNBC, according to their prejudices and rant against people and issues of which they know little. As soon as anyone voices a varying opinion, the mind snaps shut, never to be opened again to that heretic.
Today an acquaintance of mine posted a message on FACEBOOK that if you celebrate Earth Day, you are also celebrating Lenin's birthday. And then he went on to decry the Russian premier. Bad! Bad! What more reason do I need to pillage and destroy the earth's bountiful resources than this? Does this line of reasoning follow that when I celebrate my husband's birthday I am also celebrating the bombing of Pearl Harbor?
Them verses us! What a comfort to surround myself with others who know the "truth" as you know it, and by avoiding the other guys are demonically wrong, who are out to deceive and destroy. Unfortunately this mental isolation produces a brain freeze that extends to friends and family members who view life differently. In reality, most people are living their lives as best they can with what they've been given. As one frustrated American put it, "Can't we just all get along?" Not a bad idea from where I sit.

NeverwinterPreview - Feedback/General Discussion
Undermountain is probably the most ambitious module in Neverwinter's history. Our goal was to fix up all of the balance issues in the game, improve systems that weren't functioning as well as they could, to make item level a more useful tool in identifying character potential, and we also happened to have added 5 new zones, new instances, and a new level 80 dungeon. There are a lot of changes to take in. Take your time, explore all of those changes, and of course share your feedback here on the forums.
Some things to know:
First and foremost is that the work is not finished, there will be bugs (and plenty of them), there will be balance that isn't dialed in correctly yet, there will even be some powers or feats that don't feel good yet. We are opening this preview up knowing that it is still a work in progress in order to get feedback that we can incorporate as we work towards the finish line.
In fact, we realize that this work is so big and that balance has been adjusted in so many ways that we will be continuing to make adjustments into M17 to even further fine tune the balance as players get more time to explore and experiment with their classes. This isn't just a one and done change that we will move on from in future modules, this is a commitment to getting balance in the best place is can be for Neverwinter.
Classes have gone through a number of changes. Some of that information is out in blogs, and more blogs are coming. We will have a thread for each class as the amount of feedback for all of this will be high and that should help keep it more focused. We do ask that you give constructive feedback for a class in its particular thread and don't use those threads as a way to bash other classes and especially not to fight with other players and their personal viewpoints. This is a lot of change, lets keep it civil so that the conversations can be the most productive.
Class to class balance is still being dialed in as well as class to content balance. Some classes will get stronger as we go through preview, some will get weaker. All of this will be to get the game in a very solid balanced state for launch. We want to be upfront with this from the beginning so players aren't shocked that a power that was extremely powerful at the start of preview is brought down by the end or vice versa. Changes will be happening.
We are doing a lot of playtests internally to find all of the outliers from our balance passes. You may find a boss that dies too fast, or one that is too tanky and grindy. You may find a queued dungeon is easier than another in the same range. Reports on anything that feels out of place compared to other stuff in the same range are very useful in helping to get all of those outliers fixed up before we launch the module.
Some other big aspects that are still being worked on:
Artifact damage is being adjusted to scale properly with the new improvements to item level as well as the new damage values of players. They are in a state of flux right now where some will be too strong and some will be too weak.
Dungeons are being put back in order after all of our work. If you are in an epic dungeon or trial and do not see gold nameplates on the enemies, then a major component of their stats will be missing and the content will be much easier than intended. We are tracking those down and should have most of them fixed by week 2 of preview. If you find any bosses that feel out of place too easy, too hard, or too grindy compared to the dungeon they're in, please let us know.
Some mount combat powers are doing way too much damage, hopefully this will also be fixed up by week 2.
The Baby Owlbear power will be changing to not be based on how much Power your character has, but instead based on weapon damage.
PvP - dailies are very powerful in PvP right now, we will more than likely add in a PvP modifier to bring these down a bit to make PvP feel better. But please do give us feedback on the balance in PvP.
Overall this is a lot more change and additions than you would see in any typical module release. As such this will be a different preview experience than in the past as you will be seeing significant changes from week to week as we finish it up and use feedback to adjust some of features and balance. Welcome to Undermountain!

Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask review
If your skin is dry or irritated, give it the chance to drink up this smoothie-like mask of soothing, moisturizing, and anti-inflammatory ingredients.
Every year, after the holiday season has come and gone, I'm left with the unsettling realization that we still have several months of cold weather ahead. Thankfully, we have Christmas (and in my case, birthday) presents to comfort us until spring finally decides to show up. I received an Origins bestsellers gift set from a dear friend of mine, and I've been slowly working my way through it—so look out for more Origins product reviews to come! Today's post will focus on the Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask, which comes packaged in a cute little green tube and includes avocado and Swiss glacier water as the main ingredients. Pretty luxurious, right? It's like a high-end avocado smoothie for your skin. First we'll take a look at what else goes in this mask. Then I'll share my personal thoughts about this product, now that I've given my skin a few chances to drink up this mask.
Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask ingredients
water, glycerin, cetyl alcohol, glyceryl polymethacrylate, niacinamide, hydroxyethyl urea, peg-75, dimethicone, persea gratissima (avocado) oil, ppg-15 stearyl ether, peg-8, glycereth-26, sorbitan stearate, citrus aurantium amara (bitter orange) leaf/twig oil, citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) peel oil, ricinus communis (castor) seed oil, osmanthus fragrans flower extract, rosa damascena extract, ribes nigrum bud extract, cinnamomum camphora (camphor) leaf extract, benzaldehyde, hexenyl acetate, gamma-decalactone, ionone, ethyl acetate, alcohol, linalool, limonene, isopropyl isostearate, peg-100 stearate, citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) peel wax, prunus armeniaca (apricot) kernel oil, mangifera indica (mango) seed butter, sucrose, hypnea musciformis (algae) extract, avena sativa (oat) kernel extract, triticum vulgare (wheat bran) extract, cladosiphon okamuranus extract, cetearyl alcohol, caffeine, oryza sativa (rice) extract, gelidiella acerosa extract, butylene glycol, aloe barbadensis leaf extract, pantethine, olea europaea (olive) fruit extract, cocos nucifera (coconut) oil, punica granatum (pomegranate) sterols, sorbitol, caprylyl glycol, tocopheryl acetate, oryzanol, trehalose, bisabolol, cetyl ethylhexanoate, sodium hyaluronate, carbomer, hexylene glycol, potassium hydroxide, dextrin, disodium edta, potassium sorbate, phenoxyethanol
Swiss glacier water
Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Hydrating Mask lists "water" as the first ingredient, but "water" doesn't do it justice—according to the official website, this mask is formulated with "Swiss glacier water."
Avocado oil
The other key ingredient highlighted on the product page is avocado, which takes the form of avocado oil in this ingredient list. Avocados include antioxidants (vitamin C and vitamin E). They also contain compounds like lutein and zeaxanthin, which help ward off radiation-related damage to skin when applied topically. Ingesting avocados was also found to help improve skin elasticity and lead to wrinkle reduction. See this article for more details (note that this article was sponsored by the HASS Avocado Board).
Osmanthus fragrans flower extract
At first glance, I thought that osmanthus fragrans flower extract was added mainly for fragrance purposes, but it turns out that this extract also lends anti-aging benefits.
Avena sativa (oat) kernel extract
I was happy to see that avena sativa (oat) kernel extract was included in this mask. This ingredient is often listed as the active ingredient in eczema lotions, as it is a very effective ingredient for soothing inflammatory conditions and improving the health of your skin barrier.
Rice (oryza sativa) extract
Rice (oryza sativa) extract includes palmitic, stearic, oleic, and linoleic acids, as well as antioxidants, that were shown to help soothe patients with atopic dermatitis (eczema) who bathed in a rice bran solution. See this article for more details.
Algae extract
Two types of algae extracts are also included in this mask. This study indicates that some algae extracts could help provide similar effects to kojic acid, by lightening skin/reducing melanin production (indicating that this ingredient could be used to treat hyperpigmentation). This product includes red algae (hypnea musciformis) extract and brown algae (cladosiphon okamuranus) extract. Brown algae is found in Japan and has been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory benefits. Algae extract is also listed as an ingredient in:
- Clinique Pep-Start Hydrorush Moisturizer SPF 20 (review here)
- REN Clean Skincare Evercalm Mask (review here)
Other goodies
This mask also includes a few other oldie-but-goodie standbys, like niacinamide and sodium hyaluronate. Bisabolol is also in this formula, which my dad highlighted as a "nice anti-irritant" when he saw it in Cetaphil Hydrating Eye Gel Cream (read the review here). All in all, I'm pretty impressed that Origins managed to pack so many beneficial ingredients into one formula.
Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask review
So does this mask live up to the hype behind all of its ingredients? After using it a few times, I think I'm pretty pleased with this mask, even if it doesn't deliver any revolutionary improvements (but then again, what does?). I'd say it's a solid option to add to your rotation, if your skin needs extra soothing and moisturizing (such as after using an acid peel like this. The cream itself has a green tint as well, reminiscent of avocados, a main ingredient in this mask. However, since avocado oil (the source of avocados in this mask) is colorless, I'm not sure where the green color comes from.
The texture of this mask is similar to CeraVe Moisturizing Cream, except not as oily, since it doesn't contain any petrolatum. It sinks into the skin without feeling too heavy. It may actually be closer to a pastry cream or the inside of a fruit tart, if that makes sense.
It seems to sort of dissolve into your skin, like your skin really is following the command in the product name ("Drink up!"). The other thing you should know about this mask is that it smells like pears (but that might just be me, since I don't see pear listed in the ingredients). I know that avocado oil doesn't really have a fragrance (since I cook with it almost every day). Maybe the citrus ingredients in this mask are responsible for the scent. Anyway, even though it doesn't list "fragrance" as an ingredient, it's definitely not scent-free, so just keep that in mind if you're sensitive to strong fragrances (natural or otherwise).
I think this mask is actually light enough for daytime use if you live in an area with dry climate, or during the wintertime when your skin needs a bit of extra hydration. It will plump up your skin without making it feel oily at all. I have oily skin, but I wouldn't mind using it during the daytime even though it's labeled as an overnight mask.
You can buy it here on Amazon, at Sephora, or directly from Origins's website. If you buy from Sephora or Origins, remember to use Ebates to get 4% to 8% cash back on your purchase. And, if you're new to Ebates, you can get a $10 bonus—in addition to any cash back earned on your purchase—by using my referral link (and it would also help support this blog, so thanks in advance)!
