We Review The Elgato Stream Deck XL From CORSAIR
We recently got the chance to try out the latest Elgato Stream Deck model from CORSAIR as they sent us the Stream Deck XL for review. We had previously had a chance to sit down and review both the regular Stream Deck as well as the Stream Deck Mini. So we already knew kind of what we were getting ourselves into with this new system. For starters, this thing is heavier than the others. The Mini is a few ounces, and the standard is about a pound, both self-contained. This is about four pounds and comes in two parts as the deck itself sits on an L-Frame stand where the USB cord comes in through the bottom. While the Mini had six buttons and the standard has 15, this deck has 32 giving you double and extra the regular deck. There's not a lot of setup as you simply plug it into your tower, let it download the software, and you're set to go. The software allows you to choose from a series of pre-made buttons to interact with media players or software like OBS, so it's easy to map out what each one does. But you also have the ability to create button commands from scratch including the icon that appears.
The idea behind the Stream Deck XL is to give a streamer on Twitch, YouTube, Mixer, Facebook Gaming, or wherever else you may be access to all the tools you need in an instant instead of switching between monitors or programs. You can program in sound effects, graphics packages, Discord actions, microphone settings, light settings if you have them rigged right, chat commands, broadcast commands, and more. You can even create multiple profiles so that in case you use up all 32 buttons, you can program a button to switch between setups and program more in. You can even set this up to do menial tasks like opening up Spotify or iTunes, opening pages on your browser, quick commands for Photoshop and more. If you ever wanted the Jetson's lifestyle of things happening in a one-button push, this is the system for you.
Ultimately, this is an amazing deck to get a lot of stuff done with. But there are two small cautions to it. First, on the tech side, it doesn't work in a USB 3.0. You have to use 2.0 or else it will only light up and not register or interact with the software. OS be aware of the ports you have. The other is more of personal concern. While the Stream Deck XL is an impressive piece of hardware that can do a lot, it can also be a paperweight in the wrong hands. If you truly wanted to, you could have an entire broadcast studio control system on your desk if you program this correctly. But it could also go to waste in a hurry if you only program a few soundboard items and the basics to operate a stream. When you're looking at a deck that costs $250, that's a pricey paperweight. This is a deck for those who have made streaming their life and need to make it easier to be a one-person show without a ton of downtime. There are great possibilities in this system and it can be one of the greatest tools at your disposal. But if you're only looking to do a couple of things, look into one of the other versions.

The Story of Caron Butler - From drug dealer to NBA Champion
It's not unusual to hear stories from players who came from poverty, adversity, and all kinds of problems into becoming respected members of the community and their respective sports.
Caron Butler was one of the most respected players in the NBA while playing for 9 teams during his 13-year long career. He was a 2-time NBA All-Star and ultimately won the final prize - NBA championships.
Caron Butler's biography stands out as one of the craziest "Started from the bottom, now we here" stories you will ever hear.
Butler grew up dealing drugs in Racine, Wisconsin. Despite his tall frame and natural ability, he never even imagined basketball as a career option. "It was just pastime," Butler said. "The real goal was being out there on the streets and trying to make ends meet and make money."
Recommended Articles
He began shooting guns at 9, dealing drugs at 11, bragging about his $10,000 stash, and nice clothes at 13. Butler had been arrested 15 times before his 15th birthday. He was sent to a juvenile correctional facility and, after an altercation with another inmate, found himself in solitary confinement. He didn't discover his love for the game until he was forced to embrace it while serving time in a detention center.
That's when he decided it was time to make a change. Butler focused on positive choices: enrolling in school, getting a job, and playing basketball. He turned his life around, of course, becoming a Big East Player of the Year at Connecticut, a lottery pick in the 2002 Draft, a two-time All-Star and NBA champion with the Dallas Mavericks in 2011.
Butler had a very impressive start to his young career, posting rookie averages of 15 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals a game for the Heat, unfortunately losing the Rookie of the Year award to Amar'e Stoudemire.
He was traded around, playing for the Lakers and the Wizards, where he played the best basketball of his career, being named a 2-time All-Star. In the 2010 NBA season, Caron was traded from Washington to Dallas where he won his first and only championships even though he suffered a season-ending knee injury that season.
"The NBA, it's a sport, it's a game — a game that I love, a game that put me on this platform and brought me unbelievable blessings," he said. "But at the same time, what are you going to use your platform for? What is your legacy going to be? What are people going to remember you for? Are they going to remember you for being just this basketball player? Or are they going to remember you for planting all the right seeds? I wanted to plant seeds."

The ERM (Enterprise Risk Management) System is one of key tools supporting effective implementation of the Company's strategic and operating objectives.
The ORLEN Group monitors and assesses its risk exposures on an ongoing basis, taking steps to minimise their effect on its financial position. PKN ORLEN's Audit and Enterprise Risk Management Office coordinates the enterprise risk management process at all levels of the organisation.
Structure of the ORLEN Group enterprise risk management system
|Performs an annual assessment of the effectiveness of the Enterprise Risk Management System, monitors the level of risks affecting the achievement of business objectives, provides the General Meeting with an evaluation of the internal control system and risk management system
|Supervises the process of enterprise risk management, accepts the objectives and principles of risk management, provides the Supervisory Board with comprehensive information about the business risks and how they are managed
|Supervises the process of enterprise risk management, develops policies and procedures for risk management at the corporate level, periodically reports risk assessment results to the Management Board and the Supervisory Board's Audit Committee
|The management team involved in risk management is responsible for the monitoring, identification, assessment and analysis of risks and implementation of recommendations on the management of each risk under the adopted policies
|Market risk
|Credit and liquidity risk
|Operational risk
|Management of the risk of changes in market prices of commodities (including refining and petrochemical margins, Brent/Urals differential, crude oil and product prices, and prices of CO2 emission allowances), and the risk of exchange rate and interest rate movements
|Liquidity and credit risk management
|Working capital management
|Market risk management policy
|Internal policies and procedures
|Internal policies and procedures
PKN ORLEN has developed and implemented the Enterprise Risk Management Policy and Procedure, which comprehensively regulate the operation of its Integrated Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) system. It provides access to relevant information when needed, which facilitates information management. It is one of the key tools supporting implementation of the Group's strategic and operating objectives.
|Commodity risk relates mainly to:
|Currency risk relates to:
|The ORLEN Group is also exposed to the risk of cash flow changes caused by interest rate movements. Certain assets and liabilities held by the Group generate interest income and expense based on floating interest rates.
|Liquidity risk is the risk of being unable to pay liabilities as they fall due. The risk is related to the ratio of current assets to current liabilities. Financing used by the ORLEN Group is provided mostly by the banking sector in the form of credit facilities. The Group has also launched two bond issue programmes (PLN-denominated bonds and Eurobonds) to diversify its financing sources.
|The Group's credit risk exposure is mainly related to its cash and bank deposits, guarantees issued to its trading partners, as well as to the risk of default by customers with whom sales transactions are executed.
|Fuel consumption
|Risk related to changes in fuel consumption levels affecting sales volumes and prices of the ORLEN Group's products and its financial standing. The ORLEN Group's fuel trading operations are subject to risk resulting from the existence of the grey market, chiefly involving the practice of marketing cheaper fuel combined with tax evasion. According to the Polish Organisation of Oil Industry and Trade (POPiHN), in the case of diesel oil the grey market may account for more than 20% of total consumption.
|Crude processing / feedstock supplies
|Risk of disruption to crude processing activities as a result of irregular feedstock supplies, unavailability of pipeline transport or unstable situation in oil-producing countries. Changes in the parameters of supplied crude may also result in lower yields of 'white' products. The extension of existing and the construction of new refineries in Russia as well as the greater oil demand in China may limit the availability of crude oil to European customers, which may affect the supply of the ORLEN Group's products.
|Gas purchases are made by the ORLEN Group under a long-term agreement with PGNiG and short-term contracts with alternative suppliers. Due to the lack of the pricing mechanisms which are present on liquid European gas markets, gas prices in Poland may be lower or higher than those on neighbouring deregulated markets.
|With respect to product logistics, the ORLEN Group is largely dependent on local companies, such as PERN and its subsidiary OLPP in Poland or ČEPRO in the Czech Republic. In terms of product logistics, the Mažeikiai refinery relies on a single provider of rail transport services – AB Lietuvos Geležinkeliai.
|Regulatory risks, including:
|National Indicative Target (NIT) costs
|Risk related to the obligation to achieve the National Indicative Target (NIT), which specifies the minimum share of biocomponents and other renewable fuels, calculated according to their calorific value, in the total amount of fuels and liquid biofuels consumed during a calendar year in the transport sector. If NIT is not met, a penalty of approximately PLN 17.5 thousand may be imposed for each tonne of biocomponents below the specified minimum amount. Starting from 2015, all biocomponents used to fulfil the NIT obligation must meet the criteria of sustainable development. As of the beginning of 2012, fuel producers may apply a lowered NIT, adjusted by a reduction index which corresponds to 0.85 of the NIT for a given year, if they use in fuel production at least 70% of biocomponents supplied by domestic producers listed in the producer register of the Agricultural Market Agency. A decision on whether the NIT reduction mechanism will be maintained for the years 2016–2017 will be made in 2015.
|Moreover, implementation of the provisions of Directive 2009/30/EC will force fuel producers to meet the National Reduction Target (NRT) related to a 6% mandatory reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by the end of 2020 compared with 2010.
|CO2 emission allowances
|On February 26th 2014, the European Commission approved a draft list of installations eligible to receive free CO2 emission allowances and the initial allocations. As the emission allowances allocated to the ORLEN Group free of charge may be insufficient to meet its regulatory obligations, it may be necessary for the Group to purchase additional emission allowances at market prices or to limit production.
|Industrial emissions
|Risk of exceeding the applicable sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and dust emission standards. The Industrial Emissions Directive has introduced more stringent sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and dust emission requirements as of 2016.
|'Colour' certificates
|'Colour' certificates are designed to provide support to utilities producing electricity from renewable energy sources and in high-efficiency cogeneration. The Act Amending the Energy Law and Certain Other Acts has reinstated the certificate-based support mechanism for high-efficiency co-generation until 2018. The risk is related to the amount of 'colour' certificates allocated free of charge. The certificates are allocated in an amount corresponding to the amount of energy produced and the structure of fuel used.
|Mandatory stocks
|Risk related to higher operating costs. Maintaining mandatory stocks forces the ORLEN Group to incur additional cost of their financing and storage and may have a non-cash effect on the Group's operating performance where changes in market prices lead to revaluation of the stocks.
|In 2014, as part of the implementation of EU legislation, amendments were made to the laws on mandatory stock levels. In line with the new regulations, producers and traders − in exchange for a gradual reduction of the level of physical stocks required to be maintained for the purpose of stocks held by the Material Reserves Agency (from the equivalent of 76 days to the equivalent of 53 days of the average daily production of fuels or imports of crude oil or fuels at the end of December 31st 2017) − are under the obligation to pay, starting from January 1st 2015, a stocks charge to be applied for the financing and maintaining of the growing reserves of the Agency. In 2015, the level of mandatory stocks will be reduced by the equivalent of 8 days, to the equivalent of 68 days, and the stocks charge will amount to PLN 43 per tonne of crude oil and PLN 99 per tonne of LPG.
|Shale gas
|The amended Geological and Mining Law has established new rules for shale gas production. In addition, in March 2014, the Polish Council of Ministers approved a draft Act on Special Hydrocarbon Tax and on Amendments to the Act on Tax on Production of Certain Minerals and Certain Other Acts. Pursuant to the above legislative acts, starting from 2020, a special hydrocarbon tax will be charged on production of minerals such as crude oil and gas. Investors will have to pay fees on mineral production at a target rate of aproximately 40%. The production fees will comprise a special hydrocarbon tax, levied at a rate of between 0% and 25%, depending on the ratio of revenue to expenses, and tax on production of certain minerals, which will be 3% for conventional gas, 1.5% for unconventional gas, 6% for conventional crude oil, and 3% for unconventional crude oil. At the same time, the mining royalties paid to municipalities, counties and provinces, as well as to the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management, are expected to rise from PLN 6 to PLN 24 per thousand cubic metres of natural gas, and from PLN 36 to PLN 50 per tonne of crude oil.
|In view of the foregoing, the introduction of additional charges under the hydrocarbon law may affect the economics of the ORLEN Group's operations in the Upstream segment.
|Gas market liberalisation
|Risk related to deregulation of the gas market. Potential consequences of the gas market deregulation for the ORLEN Group may include changes in gas prices resulting from the abolition of tariffs.
|New business areas
|Risk related to the development of new business segments. The upstream and power generation projects carried out by the ORLEN Group are subject to a number of geological and operational risks, as well as risks of higher gas prices and adverse regulatory changes, which may prevent the Group from earning expected profits or expose the Group to temporary losses.
|Operational and incidental losses
|Risk related to the adverse consequence of losses. The ORLEN Group is exposed to the risk of losses incurred in the course of its operations and the risk of incidental losses.
|Court and regulatory proceedings, tax, customs and excise duty inspections
|Risk related to the outcome of court proceedings as well as tax, customs and excise duty inspections. The final outcome of any currently pending or future proceedings may have an adverse effect on the ORLEN Group's performance or financial standing.
|Regulatory risk
|Risk related to changes in laws and regulations. Changes in existing regulations or the implementation of new regulations may have a material effect on the ORLEN Group, its financial position and performance.
|Risks related to the stability and security of IT systems and data
|Risks related to the stability and security of IT systems and data. As the ORLEN Group relies on complex and advanced IT systems in many areas of its business, to the extent typical of a corporate organisation, the Group identifies certain risks associated with proper operation of its IT systems.

The Commanders: NFL team in Washington, DC gets new name
Washington joins other major professional sports teams to drop names Indigenous people say are racist.
The National Football League (NFL) team in Washington, DC will now be called the Commanders, after a lengthy review on how to replace the franchise's previous name, which Indigenous people said was racist.
The American football team's new name was unveiled on Wednesday, after a public pressure campaign led by Native Americans as well as a threatened loss of sponsors forced the squad to drop its previous name in 2020.
The organisation also committed to avoiding Native American imagery in its rebrand after being called the Washington Football Team during the past two seasons.
"As an organization, we are excited to rally and rise together as one under our new identity while paying homage to our local roots and what it means to represent the nation's capital," team co-owner Dan Snyder said in a statement.
Snyder, who bought the franchise in 1999, had long fought off public pressure to rebrand and went as far to say the club would never change its name.
But Native American advocacy groups had campaigned for years to get the team to drop its previous name, and that pressure ramped up amid a nationwide reckoning on racism and police brutality triggered by the 2020 police killing of George Floyd.
Snyder eventually changed his stance after FedEx Corp, which owns the naming rights to the team's suburban stadium in Landover, Maryland, urged the club to rebrand. PepsiCo and Nike both followed FedEx's lead and said they welcomed the call for a review of the name.
Ray Halbritter, a representative of the Oneida Indian Nation and leader of the Change the Mascot campaign, said Wednesday's announcement signalled an "historic development for Native Americans, civil rights advocates, sports fans, and most importantly, our future generations".
"This is a victory for all of those around the world seeking to advance inclusivity and respect in our societies," Halbritter said in a statement (PDF).
"While the official changing of the name is cause for celebration, today's announcement by the Washington NFL team should not be treated as a simple rebranding … It is important we never forget what it took to get to this moment, and recognize how social change like this is possible. We must not erase from history the damages done by a dictionary defined slur — nor the lack of formal apology from this organization or the NFL for its use."

While we continue the push to educate society on what respect for Tribal Nations calls for, we invite all sports leagues, schools, and corporations to participate in this long-overdue movement for change. #NotYourMascot pic.twitter.com/tXTcxzeMHs
— National Congress of American Indians (@NCAI1944) February 1, 2022
The Commanders name was the result of an 18-month process that the team said included more than 40,000 fan submissions, countless surveys, focus groups and meetings.
The Washington team has won three Super Bowls and is one of the NFL's marquee franchises, ranked by Forbes last August as the league's fifth most valuable franchise at $4.2bn.
Many professional and collegiate sports teams have names on Native American themes, and the push to have those organisations change their names continues.
"While we continue the push to educate society on what respect for Tribal Nations calls for, we invite all sports leagues, schools, and corporations to participate in this long-overdue movement for change," the National Congress of American Indians said on Twitter on Tuesday, using the hashtag #NotYourMascot.
Major League Baseball's (MLB) Atlanta Braves and the National Hockey League's Chicago Blackhawks have defended keeping their names.
MLB's Cleveland franchise said last July that it would change its name to the Guardians after the 2021 season, a move that drew praise from Native American groups who had long viewed the team's old name as disparaging.
In Canada, the Canadian Football League (CFL) team in Edmonton, Alberta, officially rebranded as the Elks last year after facing similar pressure to change its previous name.

Wine making hydrometer
Object Number:
Wood, glass, paper, mercury, wax
Case: 4 7/8 x 1 1/8 in. diameter; tool: 3 x 5/8 in diameter
A tubular wood case with a glass tube inside holding a glass wine making hydrometer. The hydrometer is glass, with mercury trapped in the wide bottom compartment by a red wax seal and with a paper marked with a scale inserted into the narrow glass tube forming the top.
Gallery Label:
The hydrometer, in the case of a beer or wine hydrometer, is calibrated to measure the density of the liquid being tested to determine the amount of sugar in the liquid. During the fermentation process, the amount of sugar present in the initial liquid prior to fermentation determines the amount of alcohol that will be produced by the action of the yeast on that sugar. The hydrometer is used to measure the density of the liquid at the onset of fermentation and periodically afterward to determine how much sugar has been converted to alcohol. The higher the density, the more sugar is present because sugar is heavier than alcohol. The lower the density drops, the more the sugar has been converted into alcohol. Thus the hydrometer can give you the following information: how much sugar is present when you start the fermentation; how much sugar remains to be fermented at any stage of the fermentation; and approximately how much alcohol will be produced by the fermentation. Finally, an unchanging reading on the hydrometer scale indicates the completion of fermentation.

Australian central bank has cut policy rates in June and July meetings by 25 bps. The policy rate is at 1% currently.
In this speech, Christopher Kent, Assistant Governor (Financial Markets) speaks about how interest rates are being lowered everywhere including Australia. The transmission in Aus has been quite efficient with most %age of rate cuts passed on to people:
The recent reductions in the overnight cash rate in Australia – and the decline in interest rates right along the yield curve – have reduced the costs of funding to historical lows for banks, businesses and households.
Banks' funding costs have declined across the board (Graph 7). The cost of funding in short-term money markets has declined noticeably this year. Much of the fall follows from the decline in the cash rate and the anticipation of a further decline over the coming months – as captured by the rate for the overnight indexed swaps, or OIS for short.
But in addition to the change in the stance of monetary policy, the spread of the 3-month bank bill swap (BBSW) rate to OIS has declined this year, more than unwinding the increase seen in 2018 (Graph 8). Indeed this spread has declined to its lowest level in many years.
Yields on the major banks' bonds have declined in response to both lower risk-free yields and a decline in the spreads of bank bonds to these reference rates.
Also, banks have passed through most of the cash-rate reductions to interest rates on retail deposits, which account for about a third of their debt funding. As is typical, the interest rates on transaction accounts (which are at or close to zero) have not been changed following the reductions in the cash rate. However, these account for only a small share of the total value of the banks' retail deposits.[4] Other at-call deposit rates are estimated to have been lowered by 40−45 basis points, while interest rates on term deposits have fallen significantly over recent months.
The banks have passed on these lower costs of funds to borrowers. Interest rates on loans to large businesses – the bulk of which are closely tied to BBSW rates – have declined over recent months to very low levels (Graph 8). Lending rates on outstanding loans to small businesses decreased by around 20 basis points following the reduction in the cash rate in June (the latest data available). Small business lending rates remain noticeably higher than interest rates for large businesses. This partly reflects the higher default rates associated with small business loans.
Lenders have passed through most of the cash rate reductions to housing interest rates. Following the 50 basis point reduction in the cash rate from June to July, lenders lowered their standard variable rates (SVRs) on housing loans by an average of 44 basis points (Graph 10). The extent of pass-through was broadly consistent with the experience of the past decade.
The average interest rate actually paid on outstanding variable-rate housing loans in the Reserve Bank's Securitisation Dataset decreased by 23 basis points in June, the same as the average announced reduction in SVRs. Similar reductions in outstanding rates are expected to be recorded for July data. So the declines in SVRs are being pushed through to all existing borrowers, which make up the so called 'back book'. Rates on new loans have also been lowered. Indeed, new borrowers, and those refinancing existing loans, continue to be offered interest rates that are on average well below those applying to existing loans. So customers who are actively looking around at what's on offer, are able to take advantage of the strong competition among lenders that is focused squarely on the 'front book'.
Meanwhile, interest rates on fixed-rate housing loans have also declined significantly over recent months.
Although housing credit growth declined further in June, approvals for new loans increased. This increase in approvals was broadly based, across owner-occupiers and investors, across states and across different types of lenders. It was also consistent with the improved conditions in housing markets evident in a range of indicators, such as auction clearance rates and housing price growth, particularly in New South Wales and Victoria.[5] If housing conditions continue to improve in the coming months, we would expect to see a further rise in loan approvals.

Los Angeles is the place where movies are made, and the Lakers dysfunction looks like it could be its own film. LeBron James' agent, Rich Paul, appears to be at the center of the latest controversy as ESPN's Baxter Holmes detailed. Holmes reported Paul complained to NBA commissioner Adam Silver back in November about former Lakers head coach Luke Walton.
In November, NBA commissioner Adam Silver and Maverick Carter, LeBron's longtime business partner, met for lunch. James' agent, Rich Paul, was seated at a nearby table, and at one point, approached Silver to complain about Walton, multiple sources familiar with the interaction told ESPN. Paul said he didn't believe Walton was the right coach for the Lakers. Silver shrugged off the remark and asked whom Paul thought would be the right coach. Paul suggested Tyronn Lue.
Paul was also letting it be known through back-channel conversations, including those with reporters, that he wasn't on board with Walton. Paul criticized how Walton allotted minutes to players and his inconsistent lineups, which were partly the result of injuries and suspensions. Members of the Lakers' coaching staff became aware of those conversations and wondered whether Johnson's heated meeting with Walton was influenced by Paul.
The article also detailed how Paul was seen at Lakers practices, and it was believed that he was scouting out Walton's performance. One agent told ESPN that coaches feared "Rich is trying to get them fired."
"Coaches know Rich is trying to get them fired, and players know Rich is trying to get them traded," said one agent with ties to the Lakers, who called Paul's presence on the plane "destructive."
Given Klutch's access, rival agents — even those representing players on the roster — said they were wary of allowing young clients to join the Lakers, fearing they'd be recruited or poached.
Klutch Sports Looms Over the Lakers Franchise
Klutch Sports represents one of the most unique agencies in sports. While LeBron James is technically only one of the athletes the agency represents, his ties with Klutch is greater than most players have with their representation. Klutch Sports was started by Paul, one of James' closest friends. As The Ringer NBA Show podcast pointed out, if NBA draft prospect Darius Garland did receive a promise from a lottery team as had been reported, it is reasonable to think James is aware of which team made him the promise.
Follow the Heavy NBA Facebook page for all the latest stories, rumors and viral content!
If it was not the Lakers, the information could quickly go from James to the L.A. front office. As Heavy reported earlier this month, Garland is an interesting draft target for the Lakers given he is represented by Klutch Sports and already has a relationship with James. Whether or not the concerns mentioned in the ESPN article are valid, it shows how much Klutch Sports is seen to be impacting the Lakers franchise.
Magic Johnson's comments combined with the latest ESPN feature shows how much dysfunction is going on within the Lakers. We are a month away from the Lakers trying to woo a marquee free agent to play with James, and it is hard to imagine these details doing anything but hurting L.A.'s chances of having a successful offseason.

Pinterest Many worship leaders and wonder how to write a worship song. Here are some guideposts to keep you on track.
Many of the points I would agree with. None of this is new. None of these problems are new. No, we are not headed for a crash. We are going to be OK. But there is still a major problem.
Matter of fact, I believe we need more songwriters writing more songs…better songs.
We could install more bright, fluorescent lights in our churches. We could take away the band and have acapella worship or a simple piano. We could even remove the stage, placing the musicians on the floor with the congregation.
We could do away with all creativity in the gathered church. We are not desperate. We are not broken. But this is more of our problem than what types of tools we use in the worship of God. I am too satisfied with this world.
My eyes are filled with everything but Christ. My heart longs for influence, power, money, and earthly security more than the treasures of heaven. That is my problem. That is our problem.

The delicate under-eye area is the thinnest and most sensitive skin on your face. There's also a multitude of issues that commonly pop up there. Some of us struggle with dark circles and heavy bags. Others can't get rid of puffiness, no matter how hard we try. Then, there's the concern of fine lines and wrinkles. Sometimes they're all rolled together, and it's hard to pinpoint exactly what the cause is.
According to Beverly Hills based Board-Certified dermatologist Ava Shamban, there are many factors that contribute to these issues, including one's complexion type and how prevalent veins appear on the face. She also notes how much sleep a person gets, how healthy their diet is and even genetics play a role in these concerns.
No matter the cause, the best under-eye patches are designed to help. They've been around for years, but recently, it seems like every beauty brand has been launching their own take. Each claim to de-puff, brighten and tighten, but how effective are they and are they worth trying?
The good news: Topical products, like under-eye masks, do make a difference.
"They're designed to best support active ingredients with optimal penetration and absorption for hydration, soothing and brightening," explains Dr. Shamban.
Think of it like this: By wearing these serum-soaked mini masks, you're helping the products to seep into your skin. This is one reason, in general, you may want to leave them on a little longer than instructed — just to let the serums marinate.
Dr. Shamban also confirms that patches are a great instant fix.
"To eliminate tired eyes or for a night out, one can use eye patches for a short-term pay off as there will be an improvement with intense hydration and firming or brightening," she says.
How often should you use an under-eye mask?
As for long-term effects, consistency is key.
"The usage of eye patches several times a week, overtime, will best activate the dermal layers to function better," she explains.
Of course, she also suggests a healthy lifestyle through the management of sleep, nutrition, alcohol, sun, sugar, stress and other factors.
Ingredients to look for in the best under-eye patches
According to Dr. Shamban, there are quite a few, but popular ones include hyaluronic acid moisturizers to replenish dry skin, peptides for firming and antioxidants for protecting the skin from free radicals that accelerate the aging process. Another great ingredient is retinol, which increases the production of collagen and gives the skin strength and elasticity.
Of course, we're all human and going to age, but if we can alleviate these concerns with a few targeted beauty products, why wouldn't we? It's called aging gracefully.
Ahead, we share 25 of the best under-eye patches for puffiness, dark circles and wrinkles. You're not going to want to miss this.

16 May Tall Women
Lebanese male politicians, as well as blocking many draft laws geared toward gender equality in personal standing legal guidelines, have additionally been persistently hostile to enhanced women's political participation, typically exhibiting a latent misogyny. For example, when the 2011 Mikati authorities was criticized for failing to incorporate women among its ranks, Free Patriotic Movement leader, Michel Aoun (whose bloc had essentially the most ministers), responded by saying that ladies lacked experience for public service. He also refused to provide women the 'present' of positions of energy, urging them to exit and struggle for it. The most recent feminine candidate to inherit a parliamentary seat from a male family member is Nayla Tueni, who received her late father, Gebran Tueni's Greek Orthodox Achrafieh seat, in the 2009 elections. Other female MPs, though attaining their seats by way of the political family route, have been more lively in making an attempt to promote women's points.
Arab League States
It is your job to with every little thing you do secret tradition to not nightmare her in dating highlight. Nightmare to search out your excellent place in a dating the place lebanese can have a minimum of some lebanese nightmare convey her there.
History Of Ancient Lebanon
Besides personal status issues, many discriminate legal guidelines must be amended to become fairer to women and fulfil their rights," Ibrahim added. Zeina Ibrahim, a member of the Protecting Lebanese Women organisation, has been campaigning for seven years to lift maternal custody within the Shia neighborhood to 7 years for boys and 9 years for ladies, in addition to shared custody afterward. "One of essentially the most flagrant forms of discrimination towards Lebanese women just isn't having the best to give their nationality to their children if they're married to non-Lebanese, whereas men grant their non-Lebanese wives full citizenship very quickly," Fayyad said. Perhaps predictably, there has been a backlash in opposition to women participating in political discourse. Some media protection has sought to trivialise women's efforts by branding female protesters "fairly faces" in the crowds.
; Biblical Lebanon Was A Mountain, Not A State
The penalties for Lebanon – and probably the Arab world as an entire – could also be an growing shift away from traditional family constructions. But, as yet, no one quite has the solutions as to what will substitute them.
Is Beirut Safe?
So it's price simply preserving in thoughts that not all Lebanese order brides are simple to start out relationships with. is a must-learn handbook for activists and policymakers, displaying how Middle Eastern women can exploit the lingering disruptions of the Arab Spring to struggle for equal rights. In her up-to-date study of women's activism in Lebanon, Hyndman-Rizk argues that civil marriage is the important thing to unlocking colonial-era patriarchy and to unleashing freedom for ladies and democracy for all. The major task forward, due to this fact, is wage a longterm campaign, online and off-line to alter in style opinion and so to challenge the continued resistance of non secular elites. Everyone has an image of dating model new automobile bragging lebanese a lot money why have and how he or she traveled lebanese world.
Lebanese women have been at the forefront of the protest motion that has shaken Lebanon since October 2019. The energetic participation by women and their visibility in Lebanon's protest motion has challenged the gender norms prevalent in Lebanese society and politics. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and the nationwide lockdown that ensued has disrupted women's capability to prepare, and is threatening the fragile progress in direction of female inclusion in the political process.
Anyone outside the close-knit political class is (purposely) excluded. Since 1953, only 17 women have served in Lebanon's parliament, and the maximum variety of female MPs in a single parliamentary term has been six (out of a total of 128 in the 2005 elections). In 2004, the Karameh government appointed two women ministers for the primary time.
Recently, not only has rainfall severely declined in Lebanon, however the rising climate has additionally been affecting the quantity of water obtainable. It is estimated that about 50% of the rainfall evaporates leaving folks of Lebanon little to work with. As a result of local weather change, temperatures have been rising, which suggests more water lost to evapotranspiration. Losing the water produced by rainfall to evapotranspiration then creates a better demand for irrigation in farmlands. While agriculture has been struggling essentially the most from the drought, Lebanese households are additionally expected to undergo additional water rationing because the dry season arrives.
Throughout history, Persians have contributed significantly to artwork and science. Persian literature is likely one of the world's most distinguished literary traditions. Dearborn, Michigan has the highest labanese women concentration of Arab Americans within the United States, at over 40%. The remainder of Metro Detroit has a fair bigger population of Lebanese residents.
In this image, police stand between protesters and a group of Hezbollah supporters in downtown Beirut. And yet, they've less work, much less political illustration, and fewer rights. It's not that ladies were disinterested in being part of the political system before however as a result of it's a patriarchal system, they weren't given the chance. As a Lebanese man, I would vote for a female politician based mostly on her agenda, not her gender.
The idea of marriage and youngsters won't scare her away but instead, she'll most probably encourage the thought. Travelers who've beforehand entered Lebanon illegally beneath Lebanese regulation, whether or not as refugees or for transit to a 3rd nation, could also be denied entry, even when they're or have since turn into U.S. citizens.
Professional staff will assist you to e-book flight tickets, make utility for a visa, guide a resort in Lebanon, and extra. Through its interventions, UN Women goals to fully interact women in political establishments and processes and to provide them with means to access respectable work and earnings security. It additionally seeks to assure women's participation in decision-making, on the family and group levels, and in peace and security commitments, so that ladies could take part equally in the socio-financial development of Lebanon.

More NorShor Details
I was going to post this as a response in a previous thread, but made it a post instead…
There are questions about the sale price. Legitimate questions, $2.6 million is a lot of money. Between the three buildings, there is a lot of value. This is both a fair price and makes economic sense for the city. I'll share our value assessment with you.
First, we have examined the sq ft comps in the neighborhood. There is 40k sq ft of commercial / office space in the Temple and Annex space. The average per sq ft cost for sale in old downtown is $37.75 based on building sales of Coney Island Bldg and Gardner Hotel (and other area building sales). I think we could make a strong case that the Temple is a much more valuable property than those, but using this standard, the value of the commercial and office space would be $1.5 million.
The value of the theater space is more difficult. But we used a standard of national historic theater value and then used a 80% depreciation and came to a value of $1.3 million.
The primary business case for the city comes from our contractual obligation to build a skywalk. Without ownership of these buildings, we would be looking at (easily) a million dollars of additional cost for easement and construction through multiple buildings on the upper side of the alley.
We also want to demonstrate a good faith effort to the Band that we want to make Old Downtown a thriving arts and entertainment district, which obviously will benefit the Casino. There is over $150 million dollars at stake for the next 25 years of the casino agreement. These buildings will not play a direct role in the negotiations, but I think it is clear that the skywalk and a thriving theater that can bring 500-1000 people downtown for shows would clearly be a benefit to the Band.
And finally, I will stress that these are redevelopment dollars for the downtown. They cannot be spent on city services – that's the law – it's not about "political will" to spend it illegally as some have suggested. This investment supports all of the private investment that has taken place and that WILL now take place in Old Downtown because the NorShor will fulfill its potential.
The previous theater operators of the NorShor in the past will tell you the major detriment to having a successful operation is the condition of the building – whether a leaking roof, lack of fire suppression, or other deferred maintenance where distractions to the operation of the building. Think about the change in the 200 block of East Superior Street since 2003. There is more foot traffic on a Wednesday night in old downtown than there was on an average weekend night a decade ago.
Is there risk? Absolutely. Is there the opportunity for folks to criticize and second-guess? That's part of politics. But I am convinced that this is good for Duluth – this is great for downtown – and this is the difference maker in supporting local arts in the region.

This is all wonderful news Don and it's long overdue. Why does all the cool stuff happen shortly after I move!?!

"The previous theater operators of the NorShor in the past will tell you the major detriment to having a successful operation is the condition of the building - whether a leaking roof, lack of fire suppression, or other deferred maintenance were distractions to the operation of the building" Yes. Completely true in my case. Although I was only there for less than a year I think we would have had a small profit if the building had been up to code and if it was energy efficient. The other huge problem was being undercapitalized but we did ok with sales anyway, the problem was that the building, structural and regulatory problems ate up all of the sales and then some. With a stable management team at the helm, access to a decent operating budget and most importantly, in an appropriately renovated building it will be sustainable if not profitable. I just wish this would have happened five years ago when I was there or 10 years ago when Rick Boo was.

This is tangential ... sort of ... but something I could use some clarification on. Didn't the City use eminent domain to tear down the Muffler Clinic for the grand entrance to Lake Place Park? If so, why is there a big fat sign there now saying the property is for sale by A&L Properties? Any history or information about that downtown redevelopment chapter is welcomed.

Or check out Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis. When I lived there the State Theater was the Jesus People's Church and the Orpheum was in total disrepair (although owned by Bob Dylan, that was cool). Detractors said it wouldn't pay to invest in those properties, but look at them and that area now! Successful outcomes have happened in Minneapolis and Fargo; it will happen in Duluth as well.

When I was last in Fargo... I visited the theater that Mike writes about... and I dreamt of the day when our theater would become so grand... When I read the press... I once again thought of Fargo. These are very interesting and exciting times to be part of Duluth...

I like Don's idea of a public easement through the old Muffler Bldg. as another connection between Lake Place Park and Old Downtown. That park has been horribly maintained and poorly policed but I walked through there last weekend and was surprised at the number of people using it for legit purposes. Hopefully that's not just due to the ripped up Lakewalk. Getting tourists to venture into Old Downtown will ensure its success.

Although I don't live in Duluth anymore, I sleep better at night knowing that the town I will eventually come back to has a pragmatic leader who is unafraid to treat the citizens of Duluth as if they were adults. Thank you, Mayor Ness. We need more leaders like you.
digit3about 13 years ago
Thanks for your efforts Mayor. I do hope that this is the catalyst for additional development of the Superior Street corridor. Would be nice to get the touristas to move over the highway to see what downtown offers. I respectfully disagree with you however in that a Chipotle downtown (or in Duluth for that matter) is not needed. A local (read:non-chain) restaurant would be ideal. If you want to bring in a grubby chain, take a look at Wahoo Fish Tacos!

Rubio's, digit3, Rubio's! I agree with digit3, I am thrilled at the explosion of new locally-owned eateries all over Duluth and would prefer that downtown not become infested with chains like Chipotle.

Speaking as a former Duluthian and current Minneapolitan, this is exactly the kind of thing that will get me up North more often, spending my godless big city money in Duluth. I used to LOVE that place -- the Black Eyed Snakes shows, the happy hour, the movies with couches... can't wait!
adamabout 13 years ago
There was never a happy hour at the NorShor, per se. As Boo used to say it, "Every hour is happy hour."
huitzabout 13 years ago
There's nothing BUT good that would come from this incentive. Don't get me wrong; the "lady dancer" thing didn't ruin the area, but strategically, that building could be put to better use.
wildgooseabout 13 years ago
Adam, I'm no Rick Boo, I know that, but we did have a happy hour, Monday - Friday with live music and drink specials. Once a week, Tuesdays, I think, we even had $2 pints of Guinness and music by Sassanach. It was pretty happy, but not happy enough to feed the beast, obviously.

Carlaabout 13 years ago
In some ways this makes me want to shout hooray - but in others it makes me want to scream with anguish. How is it possible that after the last 10 years our city government does not know that real estate is not the way to go when it comes to economic stimulation?!? Moreover, if the city subsidizes a new downtown restaurant, another one will fall by the wayside. The eating pool is limited. Can we please - now that Eric has agreed to move forward - let private capital make this move!!!??? If government wants to do something - let it tend to people's basic needs - health care, child care, education. Let enterprise take care of development. And if you're gonna flame me about this - know that A&L has full-time staff devoted to getting TIF money and other concessions from the government entities.
dbbabout 13 years ago
It appeared that one of the issues which caused DEDA to balk the last time they considered this building was the lack of any business plan or analysis regarding fiscal sustainability of the project. Has any of this work been done, or is DEDA just going to put that money down on the strength of community optimism? I applaud that optimism by the way but wonder if it makes for the best policy. After all, optimism got us the Tech. Village and Aquarium, both of which were far less successful than originally touted.
Mike Habout 13 years ago
Since the beautiful venue at Bayfront isn't properly utilized to bring in "bigger name" bands, I look forward to seeing the Norshor outfitted to be a place where a band would love to come to Duluth. Sure, Luce and the Rex put on some good shows but neither are large enough to accomadate bands like The Black Keys or Fleet Foxes. "Build it and they will come."
edgewaysabout 13 years ago
Carla, (this is not a flame) I suspect Eric is "ready to move forward" because it is specifically done this way. I understand what you are saying here, but personally I would add some small measure of historic preservation to the list, as well as providing space for cultural development. (I'm not entirely sure where the subsidizing a new downtown restaurant comes into it.)
Judeabout 13 years ago
Carla's post said: "Can we please - now that Eric has agreed to move forward - let private capital make this move!!!??? If government wants to do something - let it tend to people's basic needs - health care, child care, education. Let enterprise take care of development." I completely agree with Carla on this. This situation seems a bit like the whole mortgage fiasco in the way that overpriced real estate was sold to buyers who did not have the means to afford it. Will these development funds pay for the taxes for the next twenty years? For the insurance? For the salary of the long-term manager? And who in the city has time to manage the managers? When I look at the zoo and the aquarium that is evidence for me (a Duluth newcomer) that the city should not venture into any other businesses. I certainly do not know these details but I can see all the emotion involved in restoring an old building, etc and that is great. But like the bank saying we can afford a $2.6 million dollar house, there is more to owning and managing a property than just buying it on emotional appeal. Let's really dig beneath the surface and make all the details public first, that would make it easier for me to jump on a renovation band wagon. Starting with a business plan would be good.
Samabout 13 years ago
Have you ever seen "It's a Wonderful Life"? We see what the city would be like if private enterprise took over (it becomes Pottersville). As in the movie, there would be a lot of strip clubs, drugs, alcohol, and gambling in Duluth with minimal government and control by private enterprise, since that is what makes the most money for private enterprise. Fargo is a good example of a city where the government development of downtown made the community stronger. Government should provide for basic needs - health care, child care, education - and for any other communal good that the people want. Most Duluthians want more than a minimalist government, and so there are democratic reasons for the government to do more than the minimum. Government can do good beyond the minimum, and I think "It's a Wonderful Life" gives us a sense for what that is. We want Bedford Falls, not Pottersville.

And an alley runs behind it... Don't forget the 'alley behind' could just be another form of development. I had a friend, a mad poet named A.P. Bradford who plastered his alley poems on the backs of old brick downtown buildings in Somewhere, U.S.A. City fathers putting out the garbage one fine day (they do that sometimes,eh?), spied the back-wall coloratura in chalk and bright pastels like a sunset bursting in verse, maybe ... so building owners opened their back doors and turned sooty, neglected basement space into a second round of shop connections ... cobblestone corridors became places for walking and talking and riding bikes and pushcart wares etc. One such alley that did develop in the 1960s or 70s in good ol' St Paul, was "Alley 29" complete with a courtyard water fountain, Fujia Cafe - Classic Japanese cuisine ... plus an art school looking over from their balcony plus a well stocked bookstore and flowers and pots everywhere ... yup one block developed from both sides now could be quite a gem..

This is a business deal, and it isn't just between DEDA and Mr. Ringsred. Mayor Ness, in his previous post, alluded to other business owners who have chatted with him about this project. It must be nice to buy a historic commercial property and get all kinds of taxpayers money to fix it up through the city.

Oh great, the city of Duluth is going into another black hole. Who is going to pay for the needed repairs? Rod and Tim don't pay for anything. Can the city really afford this? I am so glad I don't live here year around. Looking so forward to removing myself full-time and being in areas where the local business people don't suck from the city and give nothing in return but low-paying jobs.

Just what Duluth needs, another black hole for the tax payers to pay for. I am sure when the bill comes Rod and Tim will not be around. Let's have a moment of silence for the end of Donny's career.

Both! Why not? Is there some form of limit to how much of the beautiful character of the past we can preserve/enhance? Keeeerist in a nighty people ... treasures like these building CANNOT be "built" again. Legacy has value beyond economic.
Duluth Tax Payerabout 13 years ago
Seriously. Why? The city jumping into more business, something they shouldn't be involved in. Ringsred should have put a for sale sign in the window, and the highest payer could have had the building. This will end up like the infamous Tech Village, Fish Tank on the lake, and the Herbie Parking ramp fiasco. A perfect day in Duluth will be when all the lights are finally shut off. This city is dead.
P.S.about 13 years ago
So there is no limit to the past that must be preserved. Who will take on the Walgreens expansion and their razing of historic homes?
zraabout 13 years ago
"The City Is Dead!" Dude, I've been hearing this "sky is falling" bullshit for going on ten years (as long as I've been living here). Where? When? Seriously? Much to the contrary, Duluth just keeps getting better and better, and as a denizen of the later days of the old NorShor under Boo, I'm excited that my kids'll have a similar place and chance to haunt, rather than looking at a dilapidated old building with "FOR SALE" in the window.
Claireabout 13 years ago
I agree with Zra. I worked on 1st and 1st 1995-2000 and had a front row seat (literally, as my office overlooked the alley between Superior and my office building). I think the Tech Bldg, while not ending up exactly as envisioned, paved the way for Duluth's rehabilitation. This city is SO MUCH more alive than when I moved here 16 years ago, and the downtown is so much more pleasant without the porn store and the "antique" junk stores lining both sides of the street near the city's main intersection. Duluth is indeed getting better and better, and maybe you should just get onboard, Duluth Tax Payer, b/c Zra and I are just as invested in this city as you are, and we want our kids to stay here and thrive here and be proud of the city we are handing off to them.
Duluth Tax Payerabout 13 years ago
Can someone tell me how the city is getting better without any business expansion, and no tax base expansion. The city is expanding with non-profits, which, alas, do not pay taxes. The city still has an unfunded liability of 250 million. Donny was complaining a few months back when Pawlenty was cutting LGA, but when Pawlenty came out and said Duluth has got more and more LGA, Donny hasn't made any public comments about LGA. Private business should be investing in the city, and not using the tax payers money. When Duluth gives money to the aquarium, and spends money on the NorShor, this is a bail-out on a smaller scale.
Ramosabout 13 years ago
I've said it before and I'll say it again: No matter what happens in real life (who's in office, the state of the economy, the size of the city's deficit, etc.) the list of Duluth city projects continues to grow and grow. It's like a Whack-A-Mole game. As soon as one group jumps up and receives money, another group jumps up and asks for their share and receives it. In a dozen-plus years of observing Duluth politics, I have not seen this dynamic change at all. What happened to all the concern about closed community centers and slashed library hours? They're still closed and slashed, as far as I know. But suddenly all is forgotten and we're rich again. I have been writing about the pitfalls of unfounded optimism for years. I despair of ever having the slightest effect. I was going to speak before the council tonight, but on second thought, I won't ruin your party. Have a great night.
Claireabout 13 years ago
John Ramos, you know I'm your biggest fan. I'm also very concerned about the situation with the libraries and the parks, believe me. I've spoken out many times in support of the libraries, because I regard it as an essential city service. BUT. . . I had lunch with Sharla Gardner today and she said the money to be used to purchase the Norshor is earmarked for economic development, and it can't be used to fix the streets, or keep the library open longer hours -- it's got to be used for economic development. It's use it or lose it, and I prefer to use it to further rejuvenate an area that is bursting with activity. I feel like the people who remember the city when it thrived as a manufacturing area are the ones who think it's dying -- whereas those of us who moved here -- like Zra and me -- when the city really did seem dead are rejoicing now to see the excited changes happening. Duluth Tax Payer, I wish you fully realized how this city has changed so much for the better since the mid-90s. I see a lot of businesses opening downtown and elsewhere. I know some entrepreneurs doing cool things, and the artists and writers are bursting with creativity. It's an exciting time to live here.
Ramosabout 13 years ago
Of course, people always have reasons to spend the city's millions. I would just like everyone to acknowledge that the dynamic driving this project is EXACTLY THE SAME as the dynamic that drives every other project. Six days after a multi-million dollar project is announced, and without seeing any further information, the community and council are poised to approve it. This seems idiotic to me. This is why the city's debt load always grows and never shrinks.
HoseDraggerabout 13 years ago
"And the artists and writers are bursting with creativity." Dang ... the town is saved.
Judeabout 13 years ago
I took a good hard look at the NorShor today after having a great lunch at the Norwegian place, and I took a good look at the rest of the businesses there and frankly most of that street still looks very seedy. The whole exterior of the NorShore seems to be in decay and looks like a nightmare to renovate. There seems to be only two camps: for and against, and it seems that most of the arguments for are based on emotion instead of financial logic. I really want to see some evidence that shows how many tourist dollars will support the renovation in 2010, and then in 2011 in February and March--and when will the outside of the building be the "showplace" of Duluth? In September? November? Is there a deadline for when the citizens of Duluth can see progress and know where our money is going? And I do think that the majority of regulars on PDD are supporters of the renovation, so it is easy for the voice of reason--some of you have called those folks the nay-sayers--to feel silenced. I would suggest that this whole project needs a lot of input and a lot of scrutiny---something we are not getting and that is riling up a lot of people.

Refreshing reason... thanks Wildgoose. PDD is starting to strike a chord similar to comment sections elsewhere, and that is disappointing.
chadpabout 13 years ago
Perhaps unfunded optimism is more appropriate. I don't want to come off as a nattering nabob of negativism because I really want to see this a success. However, the money issue really unsettles me a bit. I don't necessarily understand the "this money can't be used for schools or roads" argument since I feel they are as vital to economic development as a vibrant cultural center. The future cost of this also seems overly vague to me. How much and how will we pay for it are legitimate questions that should be asked. And if people ask them in a respectful way they should not be criticized for it.
