This screening Test Guideline describes the effects of a test chemical on male and female reproductive performance. It has been updated with endocrine disruptor endpoints, in particular measure of anogenital distance and male nipple retention in pups and thyroid examination.
The test substance is administered in graduated doses to several groups of males and females. Males should be dosed for a minimum of four weeks. Females should be dosed throughout the study, so approximately 63 days. Matings "one male to one female" should normally be used in this study. This Test Guideline is designed for use with the rat. It is recommended that each group be started with at least 10 animals of each sex. Generally, at least three test groups and a control group should be used. Dose levels may be based on information from acute toxicity tests or on results from repeated dose studies. The test substance is administered orally and daily. The results of this study include clinical observations, body weight and food/water consumption, oestrous cycle monitoring, offspring parameters observation/measurement, thyroid hormone measurement, as well as gross necropsy and histopathology. The findings of this toxicity study should be evaluated in terms of the observed effects, necropsy and microscopic findings. Because of the short period of treatment of the male, the histopathology of the testis and epididymus should be considered along with the fertility data, when assessing male reproductive effects.
This Performance-Based Test Guideline (PBTG) describes in vitro assays, which provide the methodology of Stably Transfected Transactivation to detect Estrogen Receptor Agonists and Antagonists (ER TA assays). It comprises mechanistically and functionally similar test methods for the identification of estrogen receptor agonists and antagonists and should facilitate the development of new similar or modified test methods. The two reference test methods that provide the basis for this PBTG are: the Stably Transfected TA (STTA) assay using the (h) ERα-HeLa-9903 cell line, derived from a human cervical tumor, and the BG1Luc ER TA assay using the BG1Luc-4E2 cell line, derived from a human ovarian adenocarcinoma. The cell lines used in these assays express ER and have been stably transfected with an ER responsive luciferase reporter gene. The assays are used to identify chemicals that activate (i.e. act as agonists) and also suppress (i.e. act as antagonists) ER- dependent transcription. ER are activated following ligand binding, after which the receptor-ligand complex binds to specific DNA response elements and transactivates the reporter gene, resulting in increased cellular expression of a marker enzyme (e.g. luciferase in luciferase based systems). The enzyme then transforms the substrate to a bioluminescent product that can be quantitatively measured with a luminometer. These test methods are being proposed for screening and prioritisation purposes, but also provide mechanistic information that can be used in a weight of evidence approach.
The test described in this Test Guideline allows the identification of corrosive chemical substances and mixtures and it enables the identification of non-corrosive substances and mixtures when supported by a weight of evidence determination using other existing information. The test protocol may also provide an indication of the distinction between severe and less severe skin corrosives. This Test Guideline does not require the use of live animals or animal tissue for the assessment of skin corrosivity.
The test material (solid or liquid) is applied uniformly and topically to a three-dimensional human skin model, comprising at least a reconstructed epidermis with a functional stratum corneum. Two tissue replicates are used for each treatment (exposure time), and for controls. Corrosive materials are identified by their ability to produce a decrease in cell viability below defined threshold levels at specified exposure periods. Coloured chemicals can also be tested by used of an HPLC procedure. The principle of the human skin model assay is based on the hypothesis that corrosive chemicals are able to penetrate the stratum corneum by diffusion or erosion, and are cytotoxic to the underlying cell layers.
This updated Test Guideline 435 provides an in vitro membrane barrier test method that can be used to identify corrosive chemicals. The test method utilizes an artificial membrane designed to respond to corrosive chemicals in a manner similar to animal skin in situ.
This Test Guideline describes the Medaka Extended One Generation Test (MEOGRT), which exposes fish over multiple generations to give data relevant to ecological hazard and risk assessment of chemicals, including suspected endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Exposure in the MEOGRT starts with spawning fish (P or F0 generation) and continues until hatching (until two weeks post fertilization, wpf) in the second (F2) generation. This Test Guideline measures several biological endpoints. Primary emphasis is given to potential adverse effects on population relevant parameters including survival, gross development, growth and reproduction (fecundity). Secondarily, in order to provide mechanistic information and provide linkage between results from other kinds of field and laboratory studies, where there is a posteriori evidence for a chemical having potential endocrine disrupter activity (e.g. androgenic or oestrogenic activity in other tests and assays) then other useful information is obtained by measuring vitellogenin (vtg) mRNA (or vitellogenin protein, VTG), phenotypic secondary sex characteristics (SSC) as related to genetic sex, and evaluating histopathology.
The in vitro mammalian cell gene mutation test can be used to detect gene mutations induced by chemical substances. This TG includes two distinct in vitro mammalian gene mutation assays requiring two specific tk heterozygous cells lines: L5178Y tk+/-3.7.2C cells for the mouse lymphoma assay (MLA) and TK6 tk+/- cells for the TK6 assay. Genetic events detected using the tk locus include both gene mutations and chromosomal events.
Cells in suspension or monolayer culture are exposed to, at least four analysable concentrations of the test substance, both with and without metabolic activation, for a suitable period of time. They are subcultured to determine cytotoxicity and to allow phenotypic expression prior to mutant selection. Cytotoxicity is usually determined by measuring the relative cloning efficiency (survival) or relative total growth of the cultures after the treatment period. The treated cultures are maintained in growth medium for a sufficient period of time, characteristic of each selected locus and cell type, to allow near-optimal phenotypic expression of induced mutations. Mutant frequency is determined by seeding known numbers of cells in medium containing the selective agent to detect mutant cells, and in medium without selective agent to determine the cloning efficiency (viability). After a suitable incubation time, colonies are counted.
This test measures structural chromosomal aberrations (both chromosome- and chromatid-type) in dividing spermatogonial germ cells and is, therefore, expected to be predictive of induction of heritable mutations in these germ cells. The purpose of the in vivo mammalian spermatogonial chromosomal aberration test is to identify those chemicals that cause structural chromosomal aberrations in mammalian spermatogonial cells (1) (2) (3). In addition, this test is relevant to assessing genetoxicity because, although they may vary among species, factors of in vivo metabolism, pharmacokinetics and DNA-repair processes are active and contribute to the response.
The original Test Guideline 483 was adopted in 1997. This modified version of the Test Guideline reflects many years of experience with this assay and the potential for integrating or combining this test with other toxicity or genotoxicity studies.
The programme (or BioPesticides including microbials - bacteria, algae, protozoa viruses, fungi -, pheromones and semiochemicals, macrobials/invertebrates such as insects and nematodes, and plant extracts/botanicals) helps member countries to harmonise the methods and approaches used to assess biological pesticides.
Engineered nano-objects and their agglomerates and aggregates are handled today in workplaces that span broad occupational environments. The three-tiered approach described in this document is not intended to be a risk assessment strategy, but part of a risk management and mitigation strategy.
The OECD eChemPortal, a web portal which offers comprehensive information on chemical substances, has been updated to offer better access to chemical classifications according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).

I remember my first day of high school like it was yesterday, even though it's been almost exactly 8 years. I was sure that my world was ending that day as I sobbed my way through Freshman orientation. I knew no one, all of my friends were nearly 3000 miles away. About three months earlier my family had packed up the only house I'd ever known, said goodbye to every friend and family member I had and taken the leap of faith that brought us from upstate New York to Oregon. It was the most overwhelming and the best thing I've ever been through.
For me, high school was a new start and a clean slate. It allowed me to sort of start over and get to be whoever I wanted. I didn't feel like I was boxed in to any one thing in particular and I could be involved in whatever I wanted. So instead of falling in to one category, I decided to dabble in a little bit of everything . . . so here's what you could call me if you knew me in high school.
The New Girl:
For my entire freshman year, I was the new girl. It was sort of my thing for the first few months. You had the jocks, you had the popular kids, and I was known as the new girl from New York. It was cool that so many people were interested in getting to know me, but a little overwhelming at the same time. When everyone wants to talk to you, how do you pick specific friends to spend your time with. They would be interested in school and talk to me in class, but I'd find myself with no one to sit and eat lunch with each day. All that crying and time worrying about the move and starting at a new school was yesterdays news by the end of my Freshman year and I had quickly made a great group of friends.
I've always felt strongly about helping others and giving back. Throughout my four years of high school I volunteered over 500 hours to a local organization that helped educate youth on different health topics. Not only did this experience direct me in my future career, but I got to experience a lot of really valuable events, meet some great friends, and win a few awards and scholarships because of it. Oh and it was also a lot of fun!
Homecoming Queen:
By senior year I had gotten way passed the New Girl title and had lots of friends in many different groups. I think that's really what happened, because I wasn't friends with just one group of people, so while the other two popular girls had their friends' votes spilt between the two, I got all the rest of them. Being crowned Homecoming Queen was one of the coolest experiences of my life. After all the stress and emotions that come with leaving everything you know and moving across the country, that night I finally felt like I fit in and I was where I was supposed to be. To top it all off, the three senior girls were flown into the football game at half time by a helicopter that landed on the 50 yard line right before the king and queen were announced. Just being a part of the court was an honor in itself, I literally couldn't believe it when they called my name. (Thanks to my parents who forgot the camera that night. . . I have a few from one of the other court members)
Class Couple:
Yes I was THAT girl. The one everyone thought would stay with her boyfriend forever and end up getting married and attend reunions together. I was also the one who's parents took her boyfriend in and helped him get through high school, had her senior photos taken with him (and yes they look like engagement pictures), and was the girl who didn't realized she was getting used the whole time. Too bad that nearly 3 year relationship couldn't stand 3 days at college before that all crumbled to the ground. It's truly for the best. . . #thegrassisalwaysgreener.

The Abilene Cowboys defeated the Marysville Bulldogs 52-45 in Abilene tonight. It was the 15th straight victory in the series for Abilene. This loss for the Bulldogs was their first on the season. Marysville is ranked #1 in 3A, and is now 6-1, 2-1 on the season, while Abilene improved to 6-1.
Abilene got career highs from Senior, Parker Base, who finished with 18 points and Junior, Tucker Robinson, who totaled 14 points. Marysville was led in scoring by Junior, Gabe Pieschl, who finished the night with 19 points.
In the first game of the night the Abilene Cowgirls continue to dominate the NCKL as they won their 19th straight league game in a 61-32 rout of Marysville. Abilene was led in scoring by Senior, McKenzie Funston, who finished with 12 points. The Lady Bulldogs got 13 points from Senior, Macy Larson.
With this victory the Cowgirls are now 6-1, 3-0 while Marysville fell to 2-5, 0-3 on the season. Abilene travels to Clay Center next Friday. Both Abilene teams swept Clay Center last year. The girl's game will be the premier matchup. Clay Center is the only team that has beaten Steve Riedy in his three years as head coach of the Cowgirls and that took place two seasons ago in Clay Center.

It's not like cheek kisses because when you kiss someone their lips are in sync with yours, and it's your choice of whether you want your lip feel enough to feel their teeth or if it's just on the surface lip to lip11|00|0

Men's Ministry
While the trend across America seems to lean men away from strength and leadership, Calvary Baptist Church still urges men to take seriously their biblical roles and own up to their responsibilities. Weekly, passionate preaching from God's Word is what helps our men grow into their roles, and examples of godly, masculine men can be found all throughout the church. Annual men's meetings, regular prayer breakfasts, and numerous opportunities to serve abound as men are encouraged to use the talents that God has given them for his work. Come see how God can take you much further as a man than you ever thought was possible!

Global Pedal Coalition
Power up the Pedal!
Power up the People!
Pedal Power Prevents!
Foot Power wards off illness, obesity, depression, pollution, asthma, and aging!
The Global Pedal Coalition is an international online resource where pedestrian and bicycle advocacy groups from across the planet can share information on how to promote walking and bicycling as a safe and convenient form of daily transportation for all strata of society. Local coalitions can share successful and ineffective strategies for advocating with city councils for improving safe bicycling and walking conditions on city streets and rural roads, ensuring adequate bicycle parking, educational programs for bicyclists, drivers, and pedestrians, and fair treatment of injury cases by police and judges. The Global Pedal Coalition will also help grassroots organizers start Critical Mass rides and create connected green networks in their cities.
Walking and bicycling are excellent ways to improve individual fitness while fostering a sense of community and connection with nature. The impact on local air pollution can be significant when combined with public transportation by masses of people. Therefore the Global Pedal Coalition also supports the improvement and expansion of public transportation systems in metropolitan areas as well as rural areas. Local governments need to be motivated (and pressured) to allocate resources towards pedal forms of transportation and recreation.

(Presseportal openBroadcast) - There must be some people who can not find their feet after retiring. Even if they have much time to do the things they like, some of them still are confused about their life in the future. Actually they need the passion and zest for life to motivate themselves so that they wont feel they are wasting time. Frank, once feel boring after retirement but an Airwheel S6 electric scooter seems to change his life-style and makes his life more joyful and interesting.
In the morning, he often goes for a run. He likes cooking. After deciding the recipe, he will drive the mini saddle-equipped electric scooter to go to the supermarket for buying fresh food materials. He feels it is really convenient and environmental. He hates to take buses since it always takes him long time. S6 electric scooter can reach up to 17km/h. If this can not be regarded as fast scooter, he can explain from another standpoint, that is, he succeeds to avoid the traffic jam and choose the shortest and straight route to the destination. With only 14kg, S6 is also very easy to carry and park.
Frank loves reading. Each time he wants to go to the library, he always rides S6 electric walkcar with listening music to the library. He thinks S6 is a considerate helper during driving since it is installed with Bluetooth transmission model which can interact with APP on his mobile phone.
Find more details on http://www.amazon.com/dp/B017X0XIGM
Of course traveling is the must-have activity for him and his wife no matter it is long trip or excursion. For S6 saddle-equipped electric scooter, both of the endurance and comfortableness can make the traveling enjoyable. It adopts the imported lithium battery core and the batterys lifespan is longer than general ones. Meanwhile he can get rests by sitting on this scooter which owes to the two riding postures design. Any of you can also have such a rich life with Airwheel S6.
Established in 2004, Airwheel Technology was initiated by a group of pioneers who took constant adventure to reshape the world with edged technology. With a global view, the U.S.-based enterprise started to build since its establishment R&D centers located in L.A., Beijing, and Changzhou, a marketing center in Beijing and a manufacturing center in Changzhou.

Book a Court FAQs
What is Book a Court?
Book a Court is an online court booking and payment platform for affiliated tennis clubs. It can connect with pin pad technology that can unlock the gate and turn on the lights when a player enters their unique booking pin.
What are the benefits of Book a Court?
The platform and technology is giving everyone easier access to tennis courts. It's simple to use for both players and club administrators, meaning more time on court for everyone!
By utilising Book a Court, your venue will able to benefit from:
- Easy for players to access Tennis
- A reduced administration burden for the committee and/or venue operators
- Meet modern player expectations by providing an intuitive online booking experience
- Growth in court hire revenue that can be invested back into your facility
Can our club use Book a Court without installing the pin pad technology?
Book a Court can be used as an online software solution with connected pin pad technology. This may be beneficial for venues that are unlocked or generally supervised during operating hours. The immediate focus for the pilot is for clubs requesting to install the gate access technology. Please register your interest in using the software only and we will be in touch when this becomes available.
Do our members have to book online?
While there is flexibility in configuration, it is highly recommended that all court users are requested to book courts online. Free member bookings are simple to make and ensures the member has reserved their court before attending the venue. If access to the courts is only via a pin, then members will need to book to ensure their pin is valid and opens the gate.
When will the pin open the gate?
A player will receive a pin when competing their booking online. The pin will be valid from 10 minutes prior to the start of their booking time and expire 10 minutes after the end of their booking time. The pin will not open the gate outside of these times.
How do our competition and coaching players gain access?
The platform caters for special booking types for coaching, competition and event periods. The venue administrator would enter these bookings into the system and generate a pin code for the coach or competition administrator. When this pin is entered the gate will unlock and REMAIN unlocked until the end of the booking period. This will enable players and coaching participants to open the gate and enter without the need to enter a pin.
Could a player get locked inside?
The gate lock will have a latch on the inside of the gate which means a person can exit at any time, regardless of whether they have a valid pin or not.
Club Administration
Do we have to use My Tennis?
Book a Court will use membership information recorded in the My Tennis membership system. If your club intends on providing discounted court hire rates to members, then up-to-date memberships will need to be maintained within My Tennis.
Can you cater for our complex court pricing structure?
The software is quite flexible and caters for many scenarios. We suggest you provide your current pricing structure to [email protected] and we can confirm if the software can be configured to cater. This is also an opportunity for your club to review its pricing structure and, perhaps, refine it; the simpler it is for people to understand, then easier it will be to manage.
We have regular bookings for our coach and competitions, how do we manage this?
The club can easily set up recurring bookings and allocate them for coaching or competition.
What if power is lost to the facility?
The equipment supplied includes a back-up battery that can cater for power outages lasting up to 24 hours.
What determines when the lights are switched on?
Upon entry of a valid pin, the access technology will request the lights for the relevant courts to be switched on. A sunset sensor will be set up and configured at the site to ensure that the lights only turn on when there is insufficient daylight.
When will the lights switch off?
The lights will be set to switch off 15 minutes after the booking period ends.
Our lights need a cool down period, will this create issues?
In-built system logic will ensure that the lights do not turn off if there is an upcoming booking due to commence within the next 15 minutes.
What does it cost to manage our court bookings online?
A 3% fee will be applied for all online payments taken. This fee is automatically deducted from total court hire fee paid by the player. For example, if a player pays $20 online, the club will receive $19.40
What does it cost for the integrated gate access technology?
As a guide*, clubs should estimate that installation of the access control system will be $10,000. If light control is also required, the estimated cost should be $13,000.
*Guide only for a standard one access point solution. A definitive quote will be provided following a site survey. Potential additional costs will include labour for electrician to complete connections, gate/fencing modification costs, trenching and laying of communication conduit
Are there any other ongoing costs?
If gate access technology is integrated then there will be ongoing charges for mobile data. Approximately $30 per month and this will be invoiced on annual basis.
How can I find out if we will get funding from Tennis Australia?
Please refer to the National Court Rebate for more information. Successful applications will receive the agreed rebate at the completion of the project.
What criteria will determine the success of our application for funding from Tennis Australia?
In addition to standard requirements and criteria for National Court Rebate funding, applications for gate access technology will include the following:
- Venue must be for general public use (i.e. not a 'members only' venue)
- Venue must be willing to manage all memberships and court bookings using Tennis Australia's online applications (currently My Tennis and Book a Court)
- Commitment to ongoing participation in the Operational Health Check tennis benchmarking survey
Who will install the gate access technology?
Clubs accepted into the pilot will work with Complete Security Solutions on finalising their installation requirements. The process will include completion of an online site survey including sending images of the site. The site survey, along with any follow-up information, will determine the total cost based on the individual site needs and will identify any additional work required prior to the supply and installation of the gate access technology.
Why is the site survey important?
Each site is unique and whilst we anticipate many standard gate access installations, the site survey aims to finalise the following:
- Number of gates that need a pin
- Where the equipment enclosure will be located (generally inside of the clubhouse)
- The best method to provide power from the equipment enclosure
- Existing lighting control and circuits
Our facility does not have a clubhouse, can we still get gate access equipment?
Our installers can provide an external equipment enclosure to cater for outdoor solutions. The main consideration will be the ability to locate power at the site.
What pre-installation work will the club have to undertake?
Exact requirements will not be known until after a site survey and initial quote has been completed. Generally the common tasks will include:
- Installation of a 240v power outlet at the proposed location for the equipment enclosure
- Underground trenching and laying of communication conduit ONLY IF power cannot be run directly from equipment enclosure and along any existing structures i.e. along the top of the fence. Trenching requirements have been very minimal across existing pilots.
What type of gate do we need?
The installers can attach and supply gate modification units to fit most existing gate structures. A suitable solution will be provided following a site survey.

Arsenal's star playmaker Mesut Ozil took to social media following his sides 1-0 victory over relegation battlers Norwich City in the Premier League.
The 27-year-old played the full 90 minutes and once again was unlucky not to add to his impressive assist tally which sits at 18.
Ozil uploaded a picture of himself during the game along with the caption, "Duty done! We took the three crucial points!"

The Gunners were under pressure to win following their disappointing 0-0 draw wth Sunderland last weekend.
Danny Welbeck came off the bench to score the games only goal to earn Arsenal all three points.
Arsenal moved up to third place following their win over the relegation battlers. However, Manchester City can overtake the Gunners if they win their game in hand against Southampton this weekend. Arsenal take on Man City next weekend in the Premier League.

With the prevalence of the Safariland 6004/6280 duty holster in modern law enforcement applications, it still shocks me that there are so many LE folks that still draw from an SLS equipped holster in the most inefficient manner. The Self Locking System (SLS) is the commonly seen rotating hood system that largely eliminated traditional snap holsters in modern holster systems. Technically classified as a Level II retention system (meaning it requires two actions to defeat the retention device), the SLS has pretty good security and can be disengaged with a single motion. Unfortunately, I still commonly see officers whåo draw from an SLS using two or more motions to disengage the hood before ever lifting the gun out of the holster.
First, let's take a look at how I see far too many officers draw from the SLS Rig. Typically, the officer puts their entire palm on the rotating hood, and then pushes down and forward to get it out of the way. The officer then removes their hand from the hood, acquires a grip on the pistol, and then proceeds with the draw stroke. This is wrong on several levels. First of all, it is an inefficient draw that adds excessive motion and increases the time needed to present the pistol. In addition, there is a period of time where the retention system is defeated, yet the officer does not have positive control of the gun. This could be disastrous in a fight, during some kind of high angle operation, presentation on the move, or any dynamic situation that could result in loss of the duty pistol.
Here is the way I was taught, and can be done pretty quickly. First, attack the pistol from above the gun and slightly behind so that you can hit it at a forward angle. Some folks like to drop straight down on the pistol, but this leaves very little room for error. Remember that especially on a thigh rig, the holster can shift and any error could result in a botched draw. As I move down and forward toward the pistol, my fingers index on the butt of the gun. Once I obtain this reference point, from practice and experience, I can locate the ledge for the SLS release as this never moves in relation to the butt of the pistol. As I slide forward down onto the pistol to acquire my grip, my thumb stays extended, makes contact with the rear corner of the ledge of the SLS system, and pushes forward and down at a 45 degree angle. This will rotate the hood forward and clear it from the pistol. Now the pistol can be lifted out of the holster.
If you're not already doing this, try this. Do it slow a bunch of times until the proper steps are burned into neural pathways. Then gradually increase speed while focusing on smoothness.

The way the Brunswick County school board handles challenges to the appropriateness of books may change in August.
The way the Brunswick County school board handles challenges to the appropriateness of books students read may change in August.
The board next month will decide on details of a countywide review panel to advise it if a book challenge is appealed. Though the board planned in February to set up such a panel, it has not yet been appointed nor has the panel's structure and procedures been defined or added to Brunswick County Schools policy. The board hopes to resolve these issues at its meeting next month, members said during meetings of school board committees on Tuesday.
Board member Shirley Babson predicted Tuesday that having a review panel may result in other changes in how the county reviews books. She also said the procedures and policies concerning book challenges need to be clarified, which will also be addressed in August.
Several questions must be answered about how the review panel, which will serve under the board's direction, will function. One of the issues to be decided is who will be on the panel. One option is to appoint designated individuals, including a civic leader and parents as well as curriculum specialists and other educators, to the review panel.
Another option is to use the School Improvement Committee, which is composed of educators and a few parents, or a variation of that committee, to act as the review panel.
A second question to be determined is whether the review panel would be convened only when a book is challenged or whether it would act as a standing committee. The board must also decide at what point in the process the review panel will give its recommendation.
Currently, when a book is formally challenged, the school creates a media advisory committee to read the book and decide whether it should remain in the school's curriculum and library. If the person who challenged the book disagrees with the committee's decision, he or she may appeal the decision to the superintendent. If the superintendent agrees with the school's committee, the challenger can appeal to the school board.
Brunswick County schools have received two formal book challenges in seven months.
Last fall, County Commissioner Pat Sykes formally challenged the Pulitzer Prize-winning "The Color Purple," which was on the 11th-grade advanced placement reading list, on the basis of inappropriate language, sexual content, racism, sexual assault, and violence against women. After appeals and impassioned public hearings, the school board voted to ban the book, then reversed itself and allowed the book to remain in the schools on the condition that the county's book and appeals policies are reviewed.
More recently, Frances Wood challenged "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian," winner of the National Book Award, citing its depictions of sexual behavior, vulgar language, racism, bullying and violence. The Cedar Grove Middle School Media Advisory Committee decided to keep the book in its curriculum and library, stating that while the book dealt with difficult issues, its value overcame those concerns. That decision has been appealed to the superintendent.

Apparently, the former governor has decided to stop trying to be all things to all people; telling birthers that they are full of it, and telling critics of the Fed that Ben Bernanke is actually doing a good job under the circumstances. One of the things that annoyed me most about the Romney of 2008 was that instead of focusing on his economic chops at a time of economic uncertainty–even before the financial crisis fully hit in September of that year–he tried to be a latter day Ronald Reagan. This didn't work, because he clearly wasn't and isn't a latter day Ronald Reagan; indeed, there are plenty of YouTube clips showing him dissing the Reagan legacy back in the 1990s. To actually win respect amongst people, Romney is going to have to anger some of them by disagreeing with them, and by taking on certain propositions.
It is good to see that he can actually muster the courage to dispute some really nutty ideas. We'll see if it continues, and we'll see if Romney has learned to stop pandering so much. He's made something of a promising start in that direction.

Irrational Fear of a Society By Shykeria Edwards McCarthyism The Crucible Present vs Past Salem Witch Trials COWS!!! "There's nothing to fear, but fear itself...." F.D.R. Communism McCarthyism The Crucible Salem Witch Trials of 1692 * WHAT ELSE? THE END Bibliography *Joseph McCarthy was a senator of Wisconsin in 1947 after being a judge in the 10th Judicial District Court. *McCarthy's rise to fame began on February 9, 1950, when, during a speech in Wheeling, West Virginia he claimed to have "a list of 205 ... names of people in the State Department that were made known to the Secretary of State as being members of the Communist Party ..." *The Tydings Committee, named for chairman Millard Tydings, opened in March 1950 to investigate what was termed the 'loyalty of State Department employees'. The committee was formed due not only to McCarthy's accusations but also to the fact that the number of Communist employees that he cited often varied. *Fort Monmouth was the base that Julius Rosenberg was accused of stealing military secrets from. This was also the base McCarthy originally began to investigate. *Joseph McCarthy never successfully convicted a single Communist, State Department employed or otherwise. *McCarthy was censured officially by the Senate. It was determined, by a vote of 75 to 12, that McCarthy's conduct brought the Senate into disrepute and was officially condemned. McCarthy died in May 1957 of cirrhosis of the liver while still a United States Senator. *It was written in 1953 as a response to McCarthyism after Miller was blacklisted. By: Arthur Miller *The panic of Communism during the Cold War and Senator Joseph McCarthy's anti-communist hearings on February 3, 1953 led to this "irrational fear." *Miller wanted to show this hysteria through one of his talents by using American history to show how this "irrational fear" can cause a hysteria that changes everything. *This play was based on the actual events of the Salem Witch Trials of 1692, but had fictional things added to it. For example, the names were a little different, Abigail was 11 instead of 17, and there were also boys in the group of children accusing people of witchcraft. - "Interesting Facts of the Crucible." 123HelpMe.com. 26 Sep 2012
<http://www.123HelpMe.com/view.asp?id=101996>. *There were 200 people accused of being witches and 19 were actually killed in Salem, Massachusetts. *Bridget Bishop was the first accused witch to be hanged, and she was accused of witchcraft earlier in her life by her third husband. It is believed that Bridget was, in all probability, a practicing witch. *When accused of being a witch by the Reverend Noyes, Sarah Good replied, 'I am no more a witch than you are a wizard, and if you take away my life God will give you blood to drink.' When the Reverend lay dying years later, he choked on his own blood. *During Rebecca Nurse's first trial, thirty-nine of her neighbors signed petitions stating they did not believe she was a witch. This included Jonathan and Edward Putman. They were the two who had originally sworn the complaint against her. STUPID!! Guess What?!? Ergot fungus grows on rye wheat. It is unaffected by freezing temperatures and is passed into the body through bread made from the wheat or milk from cows that eat the wheat. Scientists claim that this caused the unhealthy condition of the cows, while witches got the blame. Fear can cause chaos!! + America has experienced its fair share of hysteria and fear. + Many people have lost their lives because of accusations and fear gone overboard. "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

The Milwaukee Bucks made it clear this off-season that they are moving on from the team they had previously constructed. By allowing both J.J. Redick and Monta Ellis to bolt in free agency and agreeing to a sign-and-trade that sent Brandon Jennings out of town, the Bucks are undoubtedly trying something different heading into the 2013-2014 NBA season.
In this time of change for Milwaukee, they are almost certainly going to be relying more heavily on their young and talented frontcourt. They gave center Larry Sanders a contract extension this summer and plan to use forward John Henson much more than they did last season. Despite Sanders being the player getting paid, it's Henson that might be the more intriguing prospect of the two.
Henson appeared in 63 games as a rookie last season and played only 13.1 minutes per game. Despite his limited role, he showed a good amount of productivity as he still managed to average six points, 4.7 rebounds and 0.7 blocks per game while shooting a solid 48.2 percent from the floor. He struggled from the charity-stripe, hitting on only 53.3 percent of his attempts, but it wasn't awful enough to outweigh the positive things he brought to the table.
Especially when he's paired in the frontcourt with Sanders, Henson has a chance to be a game-changer. With the length and shot-blocking ability of both players, scoring at the rim against the Bucks could be near impossible. He still has developing left to do in terms of his awareness on both ends of the floor and with his offensive skill, but there is no doubt that he has massive potential.
If I'm the Bucks, I'm getting Henson on the floor as much as possible. If that means moving Ersan Ilyasova to the three at times, that's fine. At just 22 years old, Henson is a bigger part of this organization's future. The team has to keep him on the floor to let him keep developing. If he reaches his potential, it'll definitely be worth it.

Yes, I almost forgot to finish my blog this week because I was so busy playing Skyrim. Being on school break right now, I was finally able to purchase it with some Christmas money. But, I'm not going to talk about Skyrim this week- I haven't enough to say- YET. At first blush, it is absolutely amazing.
This week's blog is a simple plea to all my internet friends, acquaintances, and people I may never actually interact with. If you are one of those people who feels that it is okay to be mean to your fellow human beings simply because you are an anonymous entity on the internet (you know who you are), make it your New Year's Resolution to be kinder to everyone and remember that people you interact with online are, in fact, real people.
I get extremely discouraged by how people treat one another. And this behavior may have been born in the age of the internet, but it is by no means confined to interactions on the internet. I can't get good customer service anywhere. It's almost a surprise when someone in a restaurant or grocery store is kind to me. And I'm paying them for a service.
This all has been dredged up by recent events on the Penny Arcade website. If you don't follow them, you should just check out this post. It is a string of emails between a customer and the PR representative of a company that makes game controllers. The entire interaction is really shocking to read. What transpired was that the customer was belittled, mistreated, and scammed. Mike Krahulik of Penny Arcade was sent these correspondence and got on the case. He intervened and the PR rep proceeded to bash on Mike Krahulik for a while. Things then got seriously bad for the PR guy because Mike Krahulik decided to release the contact information to Penny Arcade readers along with the entirety of the emails. Within 24 hours, the PR rep lost his job, his business, and had to wade through thousands of emails from angry people demanding justice. His response was never to truly apologize. He was just sorry he had gotten caught in the act. The Kotaku did a follow up story. I had to read the whole thing through twice to fully comprehend what had transpired. It is absolutely amazing that anyone who claims to be in PR could 1) be so completely rude, 2) not know how to form complete grammatically correct sentences, 3) not know how to spell , and 4) not treat the paying customer like they are his first and foremost concern.
For this one guy that went down in flames, there seem to be many more people willing to behave in the same way. It's sad. I don't understand why people can't just be nice to one another and treat other human beings with common decency and respect.
This year I am going to be making an effort to be kinder than I am. Perhaps you can pledge to do the same and pass the message forward. Just because you may never see a person face to face doesn't mean they don't deserve a little kindness. In the words of Wil Wheaton, "Don't be a dick."

If there's a contest out there for which analyst has the most confidence in a single company, Brian White would win it for how much potential he believes Apple has. Of course his bullish attitude toward Apple isn't unfounded, with Apple headed toward a possible explosion in sales when the iPhone 5 is revealed later this year (or so we suspect). White's projections do certainly take that idea to a new level though with a mind to call Apple's stock price so great that it will double in value over the next year.
While Apple's stock has traded as high as $600+ USD in recent months, Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White has set his target for the company at $1,111 – again, "over the next year." Apple will be generating "the highest annual net income of any publicly traded company ever" through the end of the year here in 2012, and should have investors beyond excited. White noted that investors "should think of Apple's market cap potential in terms of trillions, not billions" – that's one whole heck of a lot of iPads!
White notes that because of discussions he's had with "local contacts" in Apple's supply chain in Taipei, the company will certainly be set for an "exciting September". This could very well be the year Apple releases an iPad smaller than the size they've had since the start, and the iPhone 5 could of course bring on a whole new wave of customers through the next several years.
"On average, we estimate Apple's net income in CY12 will be over 6x higher than the three tech companies on an individual basis (when at a $500 billion market cap) or 1.9x the aggregate profit of these three companies combined. When including all five companies, we estimate Apple's net income in CY12 will be 4x higher than the average." – White
Check out our Apple timeline below to see some of only the most recent gigantic blasts, and let us know if you're going to buy some APPL stock now that it'll be worth Trillions in the future!

text: The in-home therapist that has been coming to see SS said that he is far beyond what can be done to help him on an outpatient basis and has recommended that he be placed in a residential treatment program as soon as possible. Finally, someone gets it and understands the seriousness of the situation and knows what needs to be done and is willing to pursue it. Bio mom is willing to place SS in residential treatment, and husband agrees as well. The problem is that bio mom is not sure if her medical insurance (Federal Blue Cross and Blue Shield) will cover some of the cost, and as we understand it from the research we have done, residential treatment is very expensive. I was wondering if anyone knew what kind of options there might be to help pay for the care if her insurance refuses to cover it? She is a federal employee and has very good health insurance, but husband and I have read that insurance companies don't like to kick in for mental health treatment. Bio mom makes a lot of money, but says she cannot afford to place SS in residential treatment unless her medical insurance helps with the cost. We cannot afford to help pay for it as husband was out of work for two years and just went back to work in Oct. and we are trying to dig out of a mountain of debt. We have no extra money, and we have no medical insurance yet. I don't think Medicaid will help bio mom pay for the treatment because bio mom makes too much money and has good insurance. Does anyone out there have any ideas or advice? Thanks.

My Walk to Work in Thirteen Photos
By Lisa on Aug 17, 2013 with Comments 5
Alcudia is home to one of the most important historical sites in the Balearic Islands, 14th century walls, the vibrant market and beautiful countryside. And all these are sights I can enjoy every time I walk the half hour from my house to work.
Why thirteen photos? No reason actually, just that that's how many I took! It may sound a lot but they are quite nice so please stick around…
I live in Old Alcudia and my office is in Puerto Alcudia. As I told you the other day, I work in the main office at No Frills Excursions.
No Frills Excursions in Mallorca is our Destination of the Month at the moment and as well as showing you some of the amazing fun days out we have on offer I am also telling you a bit about my own role in the company.
And today it's all about getting to my place of work so you can step into my shoes and we are going for a walk from my house to my office… Come on.
As today is not market day in Alcudia, we have an unobstructed view of the Puerta de Xara, one of the main old entrance gates of the city, before we walk through it.
From this old entrance gate we can see straight down the main thoroughfare where the quirky gift shops and clothes shops are. But this is early in the morning so the street is deserted and we have it all to ourselves.
We're not going down the main street though, we are going to take some of the back streets instead.
This is my favourite street; it's where we find Sa Portassa and Can Costa, two of the best restaurants in Alcudia, belonging to two brothers.
We turn the corner and we are near the library. It's closed, of course, at this time. We can see that the bunting is all still up through the streets, left over from the San Jaime celebrations the other week.
The bunting has lasted even right by the church, and gives a bit of a celebratory atmosphere to the old town.
The church is our half way point. And it's all downhill from here; we just cross over the pedestrian crossing and head down the hill towards the port. We walk right by the Roman ruins of Pollentia. If we look over our left shoulder we can see the church in the background and the ruins in the foreground.
Across the road we have a completely different view; one of countryside and the mountains.
If we just look a little further ahead, we can see the resort of Puerto Alcudia looming in the distance.
As we continue down the hill we pass one of the oldest chapels of Mallorca, the chapel of Santa Ana, dating from the 13th century. It's a tiny but beautiful chapel normally, but it's having some restoration work done at the moment and is covered in scaffolding.
When we get to the bottom of the hill we see the horse roundabout, one of the biggest and most stupid (in my opinion) landmarks of Alcudia and also the indication that we are now in Puerto Alcudia.
My office is just at the end of the street and it's already 8am, which means I am going to be a few minutes late, so I'd better hurry. I'll leave you here, but if you are stuck for something to do in Alcudia you could jump on the Alcudia Xperience open-top bus, or you could step into my shoes and join me on a completely different stroll around the old town. Have fun.

What a fantastic view you have on your journey to work, when I think of what my view is – motorway, industrial town, no comparison, you are very lucky.
Yes I am, thank you. At least you get to share mine! 😉
I wish I had such a nice walk to work!
Thanks for your beautiful photo story!
Have a nice day, Tom.
Thanks Tom, I'm glad you liked it. I only posted a few photos but it's a very beautiful area and there are many great shots. Have a nice day too 🙂
Wow, I don't think I would make it to work 🙂 Beautiful photo walk !!!

For my 3rd Fashion Week look, I was really channeling my inner school girl. Being the Catholic school girl that I was, I wore a plaid skirt almost every day for 12 years straight during Elementary and High School. After not wearing one for almost 2 years now, I decided to take my kilt to the streets, but put a spin on the school girl look. I decided to pair the plaid skirt with this Balmain inspired blazer, and it really provided for such a classy and sophisticated look. Throwing on this blazer instantly evolved this look and instantly transformed me from a girl to a woman with her priorities in order… or at least thats what it looks like 😉 . Lately I have been swooning over blazers, so I couldn't wait to take this one out of my closet and wear it during fashion week. To keep this look ever so classic, a pointy pump was my only option – I knew I couldn't go wrong!
This is the look I changed into before heading over to the Rebecca Minkoff show. Before I get into detail…let me just say that the show was ah-mazing!!! I mean who else closes down Greene Street in Soho to present their collection?! That was such a power move. It was honestly the best show I had ever attended! Before the show started, Trix and I were stopped to take street photos, and Glamour Magazine actually caught a clip of us and posted it on their official snapchat! Trix loved showing off her plaid ensemble, and of course all of the attention that came along with that! As I was watching the show, it was almost as if each piece of clothing got better and better as it made its way down the cobble stone runway. I could see myself in almost all of the pieces, considering that it was a ready to wear collection. Also, side note…I was sitting across from Victoria Justice, and I just want to note that she is one of the sweetest celebrities that I have ever met..and not to mention one of the most naturally beautiful. I was lucky enough to get a photo with her, which also made my day! I have one more fashion week look coming to you all, so please stay tuned! You don't want to miss it!

I just returned form West Virginia where I was teaching Medical Students healers and other health care providers how to Follow Their FEEL GOOD and connecting with Nature at Dr. Patch Adam's Gezundheit Insitutute….it was a blast.
We got to go on a field trip (Field trips ROCK!) and went on an off the grid journey to Joel Rosenthal of Point of View Farm's home. To get there there are no roads. You have to cross a river via pick up truck or wade across. His land is GLORIOUS… filled with old deciduous forest, rolling hills and lovely mountains and valleys where the fog lingers til noon and then burns off to reveal a spectacular site! Joel is a wildlife Resucuer (and a former NIH Researcher) who just fought a 30 lawyer team in Supreme Court and won the right to care for these the 4 bears he currently has.
I am not here to judge whether he was right or wrong in his argument with the Supreme court or whether wild animals should ever be kept by humans. What I learned from Joel is that he cares deeply about the rights of others, his own rights and Bears. When I asked him what his legacy would be – he said, (and I paraphrase)
"I am the luckiest man alive. I pinch myself daily. I get to live on thei beautiful land and solve problems, make mistakes and do the things I want…that is it."
Can you say that you are the luckiest man or woman alive…and if not…why not? What would you need to change in your life to make it so? What legacy do you want to leave?
Joel says that he doesn't like people much and that most people who meet him grow to hate him…but if you watch this clip- you'll see how much he LOVES Bears:) After the cub Zeuss drinks her formula she likes a snuggle session with Joel- you can hear the purring noise she makes- so delightful! It was impossible for me to hate Joel Rosenthal- I admired him and love that he loves bears.
Additional note from Joel Rosenthal:
Sarah, Thanks for all the comments. It should be added that I do not have any intentions of keeping the bears. All are orphans that I am caring for. They will all be released into the wilderness around me. If possible each fall I will put any that come back into enclosures to prevent them from being shot by hunters.

Hiring a freelance copywriter? Ask for a project fee
Are you planning to outsource work to an external copywriter? When you're researching rates as part of your selection process, I suggest you forget hourly or per-word pricing and ask for a project fee.
I always provide project fee-based packages and quotes to my potential clients. In part, this is because project fees benefit me as a consultant. However, as a nonprofit communicator working with outside writers, project fees will benefit you as well.

It was only Last week, when GizBot informed that Lava Mobiles is all set to launch a new quad core smartphone. Well, the report turns out to be true now, as the Indian handset maker Lava has launched a new smartphone, Iris 458q with quad core CPU for Rs. 8,999.
The phone is in fact the cheapest smartphone with quad-core processor available in the market so far. Despite all oddity what so ever regarding the device, it may make stand its ground because of the price factor.
Talking about specs, the device has following features:
Iris 458q sports a 4.5-inch capacitive touchscreen with FWVGA resolution of 540x960 pixels
The Lava 458q runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, the latest iteration of the operating system.
Processor and RAM:
It is powered by a powerful quad-core processor tuned to 1.2 GHz along with 512MB of RAM which enables smooth functioning of the phone.
The smartphone packs in 4GB of internal storage, which can be expanded by another 32GB via microSD card.
The phone sports an 8-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and a VGA front facing camera.
The device supports Dual SIM (GSM + GSM) with Dual Standby and also provides users with 3G connectivity. Like all other smartphones in the market right now, the Iris 458q gives Wi-Fi connectivity as well as A-GPS.
The Lava 458q has a 2,000mAh battery.
Price and availability:
The Iris 458q smartphone is priced for Rs 8,999 and will be available across all major retail and online stores.
Other features:
The phone has Proximity, Light and G Sensor as its built-in sensors. The Iris 458q is designed with a slim form factor with a curve bend and matte finish. The four cores allow the user to switch between multiple running apps. Lava Iris 458q comes to with a pre-loaded apps such as WeChat, Push Mail and Ebook reader among others as well as HD movies and games saved on the phone.
Those looking for other more options may also opt for Xolo Q700 which offers similar features like quad-core processor and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and is available for Rs 9,999. Besides, Lava Iris 458q is likely to face competition against Karbonn S1 Titanium, Zen Ultrafone 701 HD, Micromax Canvas HD and Karbonn S5 Titanium all of which offer quad-core processors in this price segment.
Xolo Q700
Xolo Q700
The 4.5 inch Xolo Q700 comes with a dual-SIM phone packed with Android v4.2 (Jelly Bean) OS. The device is powered by quad core processor clocked to 1.2GHz and backed by 1GB RAM.
The phone has 5MP back camera with LED flash & VGA front camera. For connectivity, it has Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G, and USB. The phone is powered by 2400 mAh battery that gives 33 hrs music playback, 10 hrs video playback, 17 hrs 2G talk time, 16 hrs 3G talk time, 16 days 2G standby time, and 15 days 3G standby time. Other features include GTalk, dedicated Kids Mode with parental controls, and 4GB internal storage.
Priced at Rs 9,999 Xolo Q700 and Lava Iris 458q have the same features but the difference lies in the RAM and the Battery strength. But getting a quad core process phone with 8MP rear camera in just Rs. 8,999 sounds really attractive.
Karbonn S1 Titanium
Karbonn S1 Titanium
The 4.5 inches Karbonn S1 Titanium is Powered by 1.2 GHz Quad Core Processor. The device runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS and offers High QHD Multi Touch Capacitive Screen. The phone is powered by 1600mAh battery and supports Wi-fi 802.11 b/g/n Support. It has 5MP Rear Camera with Auto Focus & Flash Light, Front Camera and 32 GB external memory card. The phone has Dual SIM support and is priced to Rs.9,299.
The device has the potential to compete with various other devices but regarding its comparison with Lava IRIS 458q it may fail. With the 8MP camera Lava may have the upper hand and at the same time the price has a major role to play which is another advantage for Lava.
Zen Ultrafone 701
Zen Ultrafone 701
Zen Ultrafone 701 HD runs on Android 4.2 Jelly bean comes with a a 5 inch IPS capacitive display with 720p resolution, MTK 6589 1.2 GHz quad core processor, PowerVR SGX 544 GPU.The Zen Ultrafone 701 HD comes with a 8MP rear camera with BSI sensor auto-focus, 3.2MP front camera, LED flashlight.
The Dual-SIM smartphone supports connectivity features including 3G, Wi-Fi (b/g/n), Bluetooth 4.0, micro USB, GPS and 3.5mm jack. The handset comes with pretty decent Memory specifications, including 1 GB RAM and 4 GB ROM and micro SD card slot. As for the battery, Zen Ultrafone 701 HD comes with 2000 mAh capacity, with standby time of about 240 hours and talktime of up to 8 hours.
This may be another safe choice to go with with almost similar specs. Rs. 11,999 price may be a bit disadvantage to this device compared to Lava Iris 458q.
Micromax Canvas HD
Micromax Canvas HD
The phone with dual SIM support has a 5 inch display. It has 4 GB internal storage capacity which can be expanded up to 32 GB via external microSD card. The phone runs on Android OS, v4.1.2 (Jelly Bean), planned upgrade to v4.2 (Jelly Bean) platform and is powered by a quad core processor clocked to 1.2 GHz and backed by 1GB RAM. The device has 8 MP rear camera with 3264 x 2448 pixels, autofocus and LED flash and 2 MP fron facing camera.
Micromax canvas HD has the best of the specs and is priced to Rs. 13,690. Although this may be the safest option to go with may may opt Lava Iris 458q if the budget allows.
Karbonn Titanium S5
Karbonn Titanium S5
Powered by 1.2 GHz Quad Core Processor and backed by 1GB RAM is another device from Karbonn named Karbonn Titanium S5. Karbonn Titanium S5 comes with 5 inch qHD display, Dual SIM support and 8MP Camera with 3264 x 2448 pixels, autofocus and LED flash and 2 MP front facing camera. The device runs on Android OS, v4.1 (Jelly Bean) platform and supports dual sim. Regarding connectivity it enabled with 2G, 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth.
This phone is priced at Rs. 11,990 and has the similar specs and the very less difference if it is comerad to Lava Iris 458q. Although this may outrun Lava Iris specs-wise there are chances that it will face a serious challenge against Lava Iris 458q.

Lips are known to be one of the most fragile and prominent parts of the body and we all need to know how to fix wrinkly lips and how to find the causes and remedies.
Many people believe that wrinkly lips are due to dryness but are disappointed when the wrinkles don't magically disappear after applying moisturizers.
But there is more to the cause than simple dryness and it appears to be part of the aging process linked to past neglect of the skin during sun and wind exposure and it is partially related to skin type of heredity.
This articles reviews what is known about lip wrinkles to understand the various causes, what you can do to prevent wrinkly lips, treatment options and some simply long-term remedies.
What Causes Wrinkly Lips
The aging process causes the presence of minor, vertical wrinkles in the skin directly above the upper lip and often these lines extend onto the lips themselves. Wrinkles are causes by a drop in collagen content associated with aging, and accumulated exposure to sun and wind. Smoking is another primary cause of both of the wrinkles in the skin and lips.
Another cause of lip wrinkles is the net loss of lip volume with aging. As people get older, their skin loses elastin and collagen - the skin components that gives lips their full, smooth and plump appearance. In addition, facial fat, which provides some of the plumpness for the lips, is lost as you get older. Lip wrinkles, as well as other facial lines on the skin around the mouth, become more prominent as these components are lost.
Another main cause of lip lines is thinning of the skin as you age. The skin also becomes more creased with use. Thin skin shows more lines.
Sun exposure without adequate protection against UV radiation can also cause wrinkles on the lips. Both UVA and UVB type rays can also cause damage to the skin, because of the damaged natural collagen and deep drying out of the skin. Some people are more prone to lip wrinkles through their genetics.
It is claimed that drinking from straws and pursing your lips when drinking from water bottles can cause wrinkles, too. These claims are unproven, but it is probably wise to reduce the amount that you "pucker" up your lips when drinking your favorite beverage!
Poor quality cosmetics and beauty products that contain harsh chemicals can cause wrinkles in the upper lip and skin above the lips.
Poor diet can also contribute to premature aging of the skin.
Remedies for Wrinkly Lips
Home remedies include:
- Vitamin E Oil - To help smooth deep wrinkles, use of vitamin E oil combined with other methods. Vitamin E is known as a very effective natural product that counteracts free radicals. Apply a few drops of pure vitamin E oil to your fingers and softly wipe it on to the wrinkled areas. Almond oil is also very good for eliminating wrinkles round lips.
- Papaya - You can use a prepared cream or make your own from raw ingredients. Mash a little papaya with some honey and make a soft paste. Use your fingers to apply this paste to your wrinkled lips. Leave on for a few minutes before wiping off and rinsing off with water.
- Cinnamon and Natural Oils - Mix half a teaspoon of cinnamon with various natural oils, which can include vitamin E, coconut, or jojoba oil.
Using a chemical peel is also a good way to help smooth out small fine wrinkles on the lips and skin above the lips. These chemicals remove the top layer of the skin and remove the wrinkles.
Dermabrasion is the process of effectively sanding away the top layer of the skin around the mouth. Both of these methods work by removing the upper layer allowing you to start again and take better car of the new layers underneath.
Laser treatments can also help to smooth-out vertical lip lines. All these resurfacing and smoothing treatments can be used by themselves or combined with various injectable lip fillers.
If in any doubt about these methods consult your doctor or a skin specialist.
There are a host of anti-wrinkle creams on the market that claim to fix wrinkles on the lips, but you should ensure you do your homework to research on their effectiveness. Speak to other people who have tried them and can give you a genuine review.
There are also more advanced medical procedures involving fine-scale injections into the wrinkles to 'fill them' and so change their appearance. These so-called 'dermal fillers' are gels that are inserted right into the wrinkles and so to fill them out and eliminate them. Consult your skin specialist about these procedures.
How to Prevent Wrinkles on Lips
- Applying high quality and reputable sunscreens with inbuilt moisturizers can offer defense from sun damage. Many people err by only applying chap sticks to lips to avoid dry lips to their lips and don't consider sun protection. This is a major mistake that can damage the skin. Always use a goof quality lip balm with SPF of 15 or higher, and frequently re-apply the balm as it does not last very long on your lips.
- Moisturize your lips regularly as when the skin is kept well-hydrated and supple, wrinkles won't form.
- Try to avoid sun and wind exposure. Always wear a sun hat and stay in the shade most of the time when you can.
- Avoid unhealthy foods and eating habits and eat plenty of raw fresh vegetables and fruit and whole foods.
- Avoid tobacco and secondary smoke exposure
- Avoid alcoholic beverages as much as you can, and bypass getting spirits on you lips which can dry them out very quickly.
- Avoid poor quality cosmetics and skin-care products that may contain harsh chemicals. Apply lip-wrinkle creams and remedies before going to bed at night.
- If you have to drink out of water containers or using straw, try to avoid "puckering" your lips too much.
- If you decide to undertake a medical procedure make sure you thoroughly research the topic before proceeding.
- Wrinkly lips are an inescapable consequence of getting old and skin changes that occur with old age. While they can be delayed they can not be stopped completely.

For many, the name Stephanie Roche doesn't ring a bell, however, if you are immersed in the world of football, you would know that she put women's football on the map in Ireland.
The Republic of Ireland and Féminine team ASPTT Albi forward was the only woman chosen in a long-list of nominees for this year's FIFA Puskás Award. Without question, beating previous FIFA Ballon d'Or winners, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi to any award is no small task.
Roche (25) will battle it out against some of the best footballers in the world such as; Zlatan Ibrahimovic (last year's winner), Robin Van Persie and also James Rodriguez who scored the Goal of the Tournament at Brazil 2014. Hopefully, she will be rewarded for her flawless strike in Ireland's Women's National League last season.
"It's great. I'm a huge fan of football and watch any game that's on TV. I obviously watched the World Cup and would have seen and admired those goals and all of the others. So for my goal to be amongst them as one of the top ten goals is a nice feeling. I just want to make the top 3 now," said Stephanie.
The footage of her goal went viral within days and has since received just over three million views on YouTube, "I'm glad it was caught on camera. Most of our games aren't filmed, so I was lucky enough that this one was," she said. "My phone was hoping for three weeks straight last year when the goal went viral and it's pretty much the same again now. The power of social media is unbelievable, I'm just happy that so many people are getting behind me.
In that very famous game on the 20th of October 2013, Peamount United beat Wexford Youth 6-1. An impressive result, but it was Roche who scored the headlines. A three-touch effort on the volley at the edge of the penalty area, from a well delivered cross, she gracefully dinked the ball over the opposition goalkeeper.
"I'd like to think it's a pretty good goal, so I'm just glad people got to see it. It was great to see my goal getting recognition. I mean there are plenty of girls in the league who score great goals that don't get the recognition, so I've been lucky to get it," Stephanie said.
In 2013, The Football Association of Ireland's core grant was €3.1 million. Its funding towards women in sport was only €192,274. Most of the time, female athletes and women's sports get far less than they deserve.
"Women playing football is definitely underrated," said Stephanie, "It has been like that for years, but women's football is on the rise and is beginning to get some serious recognition. Games are being shown live on TV now which was never done before, that's a huge step in itself. It still needs more of a push but I think it will get that over the coming years."
When it comes to women playing football, many individuals believe that a female can't play and there's no skill in the sport. Roche's goal brought a new era to women's football and has helped bring more attention to the women's game in Ireland.
"Women have great technical ability with a football and can do just about anything men can do. The only difference in the men's game is it can be a slightly faster pace as men are built stronger and faster than most women," said Stephanie.
"I played in the streets with friends for as long as I can remember. I joined a boys' team when I was 11. I have friends who are lads that I've played football with and they respect me as a footballer, so it's nice that a lot more people can see what women can do on the pitch."
"I was on a course called Project Futsal last year and I also interned on it for a year too. It was all men on the course the first year, so I was the only girl playing against men. They never treated me differently and I was happy with that because I was just as good (if not better) than most of them and they could see that. A lot of guys there would probably have never been to a women's match before, and they came to a few of my Ireland games and now they are regulars."
As a child Roche looked up to her brothers who played football and many Manchester united forwards "inspired" her. For thousands of women and children across the country, Roche has given them the edge to take a chance and believe that they can do it too.
"I don't think I need to say anything to encourage women to start playing. Women and girls who love football will play no matter what. I think the thing I'd need to encourage is for them to continue to play, and for them to enjoy every minute of playing while they can."
"I just love football, so to be able to play full time now is a dream come true."

biLLLy – Up In The Air
Something great is lighting up within East London suburbs. His name is biLLLy and he's a new producer who emerged in the first place last year with an EP via Love By Mistake and he's now back on track with a new single. Up In The Air is a compelling dancy synth-pop gem and it's largely different from the hypnotic last year's standout Sertraline, but it will probably succeed in hitting the hearts of a larger audience. We definitely think that those 129 like on his Facebook page will grow faster and faster.

My biggest fashion inspiration right now is American Horror Story: Coven! I love everything about the show, including the fashion. The girls at Miss Robichaux's Academy always look fierce.
I took inspiration from one of the Coven's finest members, Zoe Benson.
I wore a black vintage style hat like she did in the show, along with a peter pan collared dress. To give the look a more gothic feel I wore distressed black tights along with a pair of dainty black wedges. To complete the look I accessorized with a pair of round black sunglasses and a small black and gold shoulder bag. Oh! And of course every witches best friend, her spell book!

Today I was feeling quite witchy!
I have been taking a lot of fashion inspiration from American Horror Story Coven & the 90's. So I bought this Bowknot Embellished Vintage Black Hat & Dual-tone Lettered Sunglasses. Which I think go really well together. Both items are from one of my favorite online shops, ROMWE. I love to buy clothes online, you can find some really unique pieces for good prices online.
You just have to look in the right places! ^_~
Wiggin' About!
Today I decided wear this red wig, just to change things up a bit!
I am in the mood for a hair change so for now, wigs help me satisfy the need to dye my hair :p
I have never actually dyed my hair this red before so it's cool to see what i'd look like with fire engine red hair. I wore this wig when I went to see Rihanna in concert a while ago. I still think her signature hair style was that red mid length bob! WERRRRK.
This wig is really cool because even though it is synthetic it is not shiny at all.
It has fooled a few people before. I wish I my hair was this long in real life!
I am currently waiting on my hair to crow and I am not using hair extensions anymore so wigs are a fun way to change it up a bit, without having to make a drastic change to your hair. A lot of people are afraid to wear wigs in public but you can buy wigs that are so realistic that no one would even notice you had a wig on. I like really bright and colourful wigs, which I wear for fun more so than for actual day wear but I would wear wigs in public if I was in the mood too!
Be yourself, I love you.

6. Do not use electronic cigarettes
Electronic cigarettes are advertised as completely safe products and help you quit smoking easily. Many people choose electronic cigarettes as substitutes for cigarettes or at least hope it is the stepping stone to quitting. But that thinking is wrong because the following reasons:
• Electronic cigarettes have not been independently proven is not toxic. Artificial nicotine in electronic cigarette is infected many impurities that are harmful to health. Nicotine insolubles in water so vapor dissolve mixture in electronic cigarette is an organic solvent, and is identified as propylene glycol or diethylene glycol is toxic to human health.
• Electronic cigarettes doesn't help you quit smoking is easier. Conversely, the continuing of smoking either electronic cigarette makes people use electronic cigarettes or always return true tobacco.

• Advertise electronic cigarette often seduce people into smokers. Main types of marketing "Electronic cigarettes are very safe compared to truth tobacco!", and photographs introduce electronic smokers can smoke wherever smoking bans by not create real smoke; attract young people who have never smoked. Indeed, electronic cigarettes are advertised not only targeting quitters but also for a large number of people who previously had never smoke.
For these reasons, you should not choose to quit smoking through the use of electronic cigarettes.
Good luck!!

Many of you asked if I would do a Facebook LIVE video on the responsibility charts and money system that we use with our kids, so I thought that I would cover that topic TODAY! I'll be hopping on here at 1pm CST. Feel free to jump on and ask questions or catch the replay later! (Updated: Here is the link to the LIVE recording. I apologize guys, the connection was really weak and I didn't realize it until after the recording was over. Unfortunately, the video portion is terrible but you can still hear everything that was said so hang in there for this one!)
Below I'll link to some of the past posts that I have written explaining our system. It was crazy to see that I had written some of these posts over FOUR years ago and that we are still using the same exact system! For us, it has never been about nailing down the "best" system as much as creating one that was simple and that we could use consistently over time. Now, even as the kids have gotten bigger, I can say that it has worked great. I'm excited to share the ins and outs of it with you today!

Where can irony be found in "The Tell-Tale Heart"?What makes it ironic?
- print Print
- list Cite
A major irony is the fact that the narrator planned a perfect crime and then was apprehended because he gave himself away. He confessed to killing the old man and showed the investigating officers exactly where he had hidden the dismembered body.
Another irony is in the fact that three investigating officers only chat with the narrator and show no suspicion of him or even of any foul play, but their blandness and failure to show any signs of suspicion are what ultimately cause the narrator to give himself away. He cannot believe they do not hear the beating of the heart as it grows louder and louder. He thinks they are playing cat-and-mouse with him.
It is ironic that a homicidal maniac should be trying to pass himself off as a genial host to these three investigating officers. The reader can imagine how nervous the narrator must actually feel. He says at the very beginning
True!--nervous--very dreadfully nervous I had been and am, but why will you say that I am mad!
It is ironic that the narrator is striving to show that he is perfectly sane and rational when everything he is explaining and describing shows just the opposite--that he is totally insane.
