Your script works fine. Just one problem, pronunciation doesn't show up.
[12:30:58] !define example
[12:31:02] Definition: A thing characteristic of its kind or illustrating a general rule Pronunciation:
Did my update/fix help you? I know you just didn't know it wasn't working.. but it seems you adopted some of the minor changes I did to make it functional again.. except your url is english and not american_english.
I'm not an experienced IRC coder,.. but I decided to just take a stab at it and figured perhaps the website format had changed a bit.. and adjusted the URL but it didn't work exactly.. and added the "www" as well, and then it worked perfectly.
The Pronunciation is a neat feature, but I use this in a JTV chatroom, so I try to minimize any unnecessary information due to limited chat space. I also run Urban dictionary, as often the dictionary doesn't pick up the word -- especially if it is in an adverb/adjective format.. so I have it say " No Results have been found, please try !Urban (word)" for example. :)
Great and efficient script. Your coding looks quite good and not bloated (like mine would be). Do you code in anything else?
That's fine, if you ever feel the need to change something, feel free. I do not code in anything else, just mIRC really.
And, yeah... My code's have to look nice (I hate messy codes) :D
Thanks for script.
It stopped working over the last month or so..
I managed to correct it by modifying the following:
sockopen define www.oxforddictionaries.com 80
sockwrite -nt $sockname GET $+(/us/definition/american_english/,$lower($3)) HTTP/1.1
For any using it, and need to fix it to work with the new website layout of oxford.
Take care.
I updated the script, and it should be working with the British English Link. Hopefully that will solve any problems you have. Also, added pronunciation to the definitions as something extra. :)
@Kiddo96 - I have added an alias: /def ... Will echo it to your active window.
I use FireFox... Also seems I am getting the same issue, but when I re-coded this, I had no issue with it.
Edit: I think I have found the issue, the searching seems to be case sensitive.
[7:43pm] <~Stewie> !define smoke
[7:43pm] <&thunderbolt> Definition: a visible suspension of carbon or other particles in air, typically one emitted from a burning substance and > [7:44pm] <~Stewie> !define Smoke
[7:44pm] <&thunderbolt> No Results have been found for: "Smoke" Maybe the reason for the script not working, when you posted your first comment was because of this reason, I will post a fix around this soon.
Okay another post edit: Updated, so now should be fixed for that issue. > [11:04pm] <~Stewie> !define Smoke

Mod mike_12212012: !define Smoke
Mod waffle_bot: No Results have been found for: "Smoke"
Still not working :( It responds now but get this "No Results have been found for: "add word here""
Pardon me, jaytea, if I came out too harshly. It's just sometimes you spit out words like "not the same," or a line of sentence with nothing to explain. Perhaps I was being a bit selfish. Did you do that to me mainly? :/ I certainly am living proof that I've come across some of your posts made as such.
leaving people out in the cold? huh?
the question was purely rhetorical. a bit of banter between 2 coders. to spell out exactly what was (already strongly) implied is akin to a comedian explaining a joke for the special few who did not understand it after the audience's laughter has died down. i give Fuzionx more credit than that.
Firstmate has a valid point. Instead of picking on each other, why don't each one of us be sincere and humble to assist one another without behaving like an egocentric person? jaytea, I truly expect that you will share your expertise in MSL field with explanation...not just leaving people out in the cold.

Advantages of Freelancing over Being Employed
Freelancing is the act of working for an employer but not on a long-term commitment. Today, freelancing is mainly done on the World Wide Web. We also have companies which employ freelancers to serve their clients. Film and video production, music, programming, writing and web development are areas where freelancing is dominant. Many people prefer being employed to freelancing. These people fear losing pay slips, vacation pay and other benefits given by the employers. A freelancer will make a huge amount of money despite the fact that he/she receives no benefits and paychecks. A freelancer is also able to work from the comfort of his/her room. The following are reasons why people fear venturing into freelancing.
The main reason why people fear freelancing is dubiousness in the skills needed. Since freelancing jobs come from various fields such as accounting, law, music, and programming, people think they have insufficient skills. A freelancer is not highly skilled. Freelancers get resources to carry out various tasks from the internet. By clicking this link, you will be able to carry out any finance freelancing task. Freelancers also hire professional in various fields to assist them in doing various assignments. In order to ensure timely filing of taxes for your freelancing business, please outsource companies such as the Pay stub generator.
Many people fear becoming freelancers since they fear to fail. One needs to overcome fear and take a risk. In order to avoid failure as a freelancer, you are supposed to do a research on the skills needed and the amount you will charge your clients. You can also make friends with some freelancers. It is also advisable for one to first go through a freelancing course. A business plan is crucial when starting a freelancing business.
The third reason is commitments and responsibilities. In case you are employed, venturing into freelancing may be challenging since you will no longer be getting your monthly salaries. Before you fully leave your job, you can become a part-time freelancer and you will still be able to pay the bills. The part-time freelancing job will supplement your income. After a short while, you will develop interest and passion in freelancing and you will comfortably leave your previous job.
Income uncertainty makes many people prefer being employed to freelancing. An assured monthly pay makes being employed seem better than becoming a freelancer. Since freelancing also has the peak and the off-peak, it seems unattractive. A lot of companies are now not employing more staff and freelancing remains the better option.
These are the beliefs and misconceptions about freelancing.

Three lessons from the German "Mittelstand"
Much of Germany's economic and trade success is attributed to its highly productive and innovative SME market. Mittelstand contributes to 52 percent of GDP, employs over 70 percent of its workforce and is composed of principally export firms, securing the country's position as second largest exporter worldwide.
So what is the connection between the Mittelstand and LAC?
- Innovation: German SMEs are some of the most innovative in Europe: 54 percent launched an innovative product or process between 2008 and 2010. Harvard Business Review reveals the Mittelsand excel given a culture of "razor-thin focus" generating unparalleled efficiency. A focused business model with high levels of investment in R&D and managerial expertise allows the firm to hone in on developing one unique product or service. Doing the sole, targeted activity so well tends to translate into uncomplicated processes and fully utilized inputs.
According to the World Bank, transformational, high-growth SMEs in LAC are not a principal source of innovation. Regional innovation stems from larger firms and multilatinas (as you may remember from my previous blog), whereas SMEs, especially those utilizing energy efficiency or cleaner production, could benefit from increased investment in patent activity, R&D, managerial practices and the introduction of new products to the market – all key contributors to an innovative private sector.
- Financing: German SMEs rely on sound financing models – chiefly equity and bank loans. The often family-owned "Mittelstand" finances more than half of its investment from its own capital and almost a third with debt. Venture capitalists are showing increasing interest in the space with longer-term investments of 5 years or more. A Rӧdl & Partner study about the Mittelstand states the most attractive industry for equity investors is the clean tech space occupied by SMEs launching environmental technologies that seek to adapt to climate change.
Thanks in part to financial markets work completed by the IDB Group's private sector, banks in LAC are increasingly open to financing SMEs and environmentally-friendly firms and assessing their unique risk profile. In the green space, there is still unmet demand for funders to package financing in a way that is cognizant of the green industry's higher initial capital costs (although lower long-term operating costs), need for longer-term tenors and the reality of technological risks. A financial sector that is more aware of SME and green growth risks is often more likely to keep equity and collateral requirements and debt risk premiums reasonable and accessible.
- Training: German SMEs employ 83 percent of trainees, demonstrating a strong investment in both value-added job creation and the human capital development of future generations. Germany's education system and labor force tend toward science, technology, engineering and mathematics with almost double the engineering graduates compared to Chile, Mexico and Argentina, according to the World Bank. Increased investments in scientific and engineering training may strengthen productivity and the high tech nature of SMEs in LAC and encourage the development of more green growth firms.
Although there are some lessons for LAC, the work of BDI and Mittelstand panel namely reminded me how fundamentally well-positioned the region and its SMEs already are. Through initiatives like connectAmericas, Infrascope, FINPYME and our Trade Finance Facilitation Program, the IDB Group is supporting the continued development of SME innovation, financing, training and much more.

Golf course communities like Crow Creek in Calabash, have become a common feature in the Coastal Carolinas. Living with fairway frontage offers some excellent benefits such as outstanding views, having access to golf in an instant, a quality home in a safe neighborhood of other quality homes, and nobody building right up behind you.
Golf course communities, while similar in some ways, are all quite different from one another. Some have their main focus on the golf course itself, while others are residential neighborhoods foremost, with the course as a side benefit. It might surprise you to know that a fair number of residents in golf course communities don't even play golf. While the idea of the typical golf course community homeowner being a retiree and their golfing friends, many younger families are buying Crow Creek Real Estate for its beauty, quality and safety. They are buying a lifestyle and a home with excellent appreciation value.
Depending upon where your home is located, there certainly is the risk of stray balls ending up in your yard or through your window. Living on the golf course means being all right with golfers coming onto your property to retrieve the occasional off-target ball. In general, most homeowners find these risks are worth the benefit of living in such a peaceful and beautiful location.
There is Crow Creek Real Estate available as close or as far from the greens as you wish. Not all homes in a golf course community are right on the green. There will be lovely homes across the street and within a few blocks of the course itself that still have all the conveniences of the close proximity to the course and the great neighborhood, but without the risk of stray balls and people walking on your property.
Buying a home behind a green, or right next to a tee box, as opposed to a few yards up from it, may allow you to avoid the highest risk of having your home visited by stray balls. There is some evidence that indicates that homes on the right side of the fairway are hit more often by erroneously sliced balls.
The golf course community of Crow Creek is conveniently located in Calabash, North Carolina. Anchoring this community is the beautiful Crow Creek golf course, complete with 18 holes, driving range and putting green. The new 14,000' clubhouse was recently opened and is setting the standard for golf course clubhouses with it's Low Country architecture and amenities, that include a pro shop and restaurant open daily, including evenings. If you would like to take a look at available Crow Creek Real Estate, give us a call at Carolina Plantations. We'd be happy to show you around.

SANTIAGO(News Agencies) —At least 285 people in Chile have suffered severe eye trauma, mostly from hardened rubber bullets and tear gas canisters fired by Chilean security forces at protesters during the month of unrest. According to the Chilean Ophthalmological Society, that count is expected to rise.
The image of a bandaged eye is now so common it has become a rallying symbol for the protesters in Chile. Even so, the likelihood of such life-altering injury has not deterred protestors.
the police have been blamed for at least six deaths, more than 6,300 arrests, and 2,400 hospitalizations of protesters. Public prosecutors in Chile are now investigating hundreds of cases of alleged abuses by the police, including torture and sexual violence. The damage to infrastructure and businesses is in the billions of dollars.
President Piñera has stood by the police clampdown, claiming that the use of force has been justified in order to maintain order. According to the Chilean police, nearly 1,000 officers have been hospitalized with injuries sustained during protests.
The number of serious eye injuries at the hands of the police has outraged human rights groups and alarmed medical professionals. For at least 12 victims, the damage to the cornea, iris and optic nerve has been so severe that doctors have had to remove the eye completely.

The series: Visited Texas (win, loss, win, loss) and Detroit (win, loss, loss, win), hosted Minnesota (win, loss, win) and San Diego (win, loss, win).
But first, an editorial note: This piece and the two that will follow pick up the threads of the Week In Review series that ran here for the first nine weeks of the season. Since the last installment on June 2, the season has changed dramatically. I never lost interest in keeping up with Week In Review, but I had to put it on hold because of other significant demands on my time. I love this format, but it is frankly a bit time-consuming to put these together Going back to do piecemeal recaps at this point may seem like an odd idea, but it's something I've decided to do for all the same reasons I started doing the Week In Review — to give the season a little more clarity and structure, to put it into chapters.
At any given moment, we tend to be viewing the season mostly in two timeframes — the first being the last 48 hours, today's game and maybe yesterday's, and the whole season cumulatively from the beginning. The most accessible stats we look at reinforce this point of view — all the main stat pages are showing season-to-date, and we check out the box score to see what happened. In doing so, we miss a lot of the ebb and flow of the season for the team, and especially for individual players. We patch together vague narratives later on, much of it from inaccurate memories — "Peralta was blocked by Cora," "Francisco was amazing last year" — only occasionally making note of anything in a context larger than a day or two, and missing many in-season developments entirely.
I starting writing these Reviews to see better the season that was developing for each individual player, and I'm as interested as ever in doing that. The first nine installments focused not so much on an exact week as on two series, or six to eight days. This installment and the next will each focus on a two-week, four-series period. The one after that will cover three series, ending at the All-Star break, today. I believe I will go with the three-series format for the second half of the season; in general, the format has seemed still a little too micro to really see trends well. We'll see how it develops — and I apologize in advance if the dissection is depressing.
The big story: The Indians' injury problems went from bad to worse, led by the startling news on June 2 that Jake Westbrook would be returning to the DL just days after making a solid return to the rotation. By June 7, the news got much worse — Westbrook would undergo Tommy John surgery, missing not only the rest of the 2008 season but as much as half of the 2009 season as well. Westbrook had signed a three-year contract extension in March 2007, at $33 million the largest contract ever awarded by the Indians at the time. He ran into injury problems almost immediately but returned last July with a huge flourish, finishing with the fifth-most innings pitched and seventh-lowest ERA in the league in the second half. Coming into 2008, we were regaled with reports of a new pitch and improved velocity, and scouts wondered aloud if the sinkerballer might take his game to a higher level at age 30. Westbrook did pitch well in April, but his injury dashed completely all those raised expectations, and the Indians have now lost his services for solidly half of that new contract's three years.
In other news: Asdrubal Cabrera mercifully and belatedly was demoted to Triple-A, where he probably should have started the season, and where he almost certainly would have started the season had he not gone an improbable tear after being promoted into the heat of the 2007 pennant race. His demotion created an opportunity for Josh Barfield — our erstwhile and bored/untalented second baseman, who certainly had not been forcing the club's hand with his Triple-A performance (.255/.297/.382, 4.7% walk rate). Barfield responded by going 0-for-6 — he put the ball in play all six times, so you could argue he was just unlucky — before breaking his finger, giving him a very well-paid trip to the big-league DL.
That same day, Victor Martinez was also put on the DL — also mercifully and also belatedly, in that he'd been hitting terribly for nearly six weeks and (let's all say it together) hadn't hit a home run all season. Three role players emerged and not only filled the shoes of the injured players, but far exceeded the production we'd been getting from those players before they went on the DL. Shoppach, Carroll and the newly healthy Shin-Soo Choo — essentially taking over playing time from Martinez, Cabrera/Barfield and Hafner — each posted an OPS of 1000 or better over these 14 games. Reliever Rick Bauer, catcher Yamid Haad and infielder Jorge Velandia, previously known to Indians fans as guys they'd never heard of, joined the big-league roster to play dominoes with Marte.
We drafted some guys with really interesting names — Chisenhall and Cord, "Jeremie Tice" and "David Roberts" — and though our first three picks were age 19, 17 and 20 on draft day, some people still screamed that the Indians were being "too safe" or "wrong" or "not adhering to Baseball America rankings" — or something or other. Experts, experts everywhere, whatever are we to make of all of this expertise?
Back in the majors, in general, the pitching slumped and was uncharacteristically carried by the offense in these series. So while the pitchers posted a 5.68 ERA, including a few critical late-inning blowups by the bullpen, the hitters amazingly posted the feel-good, Garko-in-a-good-year line of .294/.364/.468. That 1,088-run pace allowed the team to tread water over a period in which the rest of the AL Central was essentially doing the same — Minnesota and KC dropped a few games but held their places in the standings, while the other three clubs each won eight. The AL Central was still very winnable, and if you squinted enough, you could still see a bruised-but-not-beaten Indians club actually winning it.
(Who fed it and Who ate it are after the jump.)
Who fed it: Though he only started half of these games, Shoppach should be recognized for giving the kind of performance that can save a season. With the Indians losing one of its best hitters from an already unsteady lineup, and having struggled himself of late in a part-time role (he slugged .097 over the prior four weeks), Shoppach responded by giving the club huge production out of the catcher's spot, slugging .741 — and he basically kept the barrage going for another three weeks after these games. Sabathia was the only starter not to put up at least one truly awful start, struggling a bit in a difficult game in Texas, then throwing a complete game shutout against the Twins, and finally a ten-K eight-inning effort against the Padres; cumulatively, he allowed 7 ER in 23 IP, with 23 K, 4 BB and zero HR.
Choo jumped right from the DL into regular playing time, and he rewarded the club with a stunning .342/.435/.658 output, one of many young hitters to explode upon hitting the 25-man roster this season. Carroll rode a 16-for-36 streak to an even 1000 OPS, Sizemore (1091) hit five home runs against the Twins and Padres, and Blake (935) started to put up his best month of the season. Kobayashi gave up a slim 8th-inning lead in Detroit but otherwise was excellent, giving up just one run (and only two line drives!) in his other nine innings of work. Elarton was very effective in long relief, facing 24 batters over three games and allowing just two singles and three walks. Absolute Best: Shoppach. Relative Best: Choo.
Who fed it breakdown: Craig Breslow turned in the month's most stellar run of relief performances, pitching six scoreless innings with five strikeouts, allowing just three singles and a walk — only he did this for the Twins, not for the Indians. Never given much opportunity to do anything right or wrong for the Indians, Breslow was designated for assignment and lost on waivers at the end of May, one of more 15 roster moves related to Indians relievers over a two-week period. Breslow retired 33 batters for the Twins before allowing a single run, yielding only three singles and two walks over his first eleven games — and he stranded all six baserunners that he inherited in those games, too. But hey, at least we made room for Rick Bauer, which obviously was important.
Who ate it: This stretch of games included six full-on trainwrecks in terms of starting pitching, but only Jeremy Sowers was uniformly bad. In two starts, he only allowed two walks and two home runs, but he barely lasted four innings each time, and he got hit at a .390 clip for a 1091 OPS-allowed, giving up 9 ER in just 8.1 IP. Peralta decided to stop hitting home runs (0) or drawing walks (2), which left him with a 484 OPS over the two weeks. Betancourt gave up 7 ER in two of his more impressive late-inning disasters in Texas and Detroit, but he seemed to steady himself with four scoreless outings after that. Mujica memorably loaded the bases to set up an RBI walk and a grand slam in the 10th inning of a tie game; he allowed four doubles and three home runs over 8 IP for a 10.13 ERA. Not to be outdone, Tom Mastny barely made it to the second inning and allowed five runs in an emergency spot start, his only appearance in the majors over a two-month stretch.
Garko flourished in Texas with a .550 average but had no extra base hits, then went 3-for-12 with two home runs in Detroit, then hit .217 with no extra-base hits against the Twins and Padres; he walked exactly once in each series. Victor exited weakly with a 557 OPS over this stretch, and after hitting .366 through April, he hit .216 in May and June with a 552 OPS; his secondary numbers were weak throughout. Asdrubal's numbers in his last week before being demoted (.154/.313/.231) were essentially the same as they'd been since April 27 (.146/.255/.202) — but you have to hand it to the kid, how he continues to draw so many walks (better than 11%) while hitting a buck-fifty is beyond me. Absolute Worst: Mujica. Relative Worst: Mastny.
Who ate it breakdown: Lots of things have gone wrong this season, but even though it was only one game, few things fit the phrase EPIC FAIL better than the start given to Tom Mastny on June 3. Westbrook returned to the DL and made a solid start on May 28, and it was later reported that he'd felt some pain the following day. Club officials were concerned, and all they had to do as an insurance policy was hold Sowers out from his June 1 start, so that he'd be available in a pinch. But they let Sowers go ahead with that June 1 start, and so when Westbrook went on the DL on June 2, the team had no real starting pitcher to ready to go his place on June 3.
The Indians gave the "start" to reliever Tom Mastny, who despite an inconsistent track record in the majors had a few notable clutch performances on his resume — a particularly impressive extra-innings performance in the ALCS, and taking over short-term as the team's closer in August 2006 — and consistently impressive numbers in Buffalo. Starting a reliever isn't unprecedented, and the job is easily defined: First and foremost, last as many innings as you can so as not to overwork the rest of the bullpen — and if possible, don't give up too many runs. Teams have won games with dumber plans than this, but the point of the relief-start isn't entirely to win, it's to make sure the team isn't handicapped with a trashed bullpen for the half-dozen games.
Charged with this critical but not incredibly challenging task, Mastny delivered the worst performance of his career — allowing five runs on six hits, three walks and two home runs, all while retiring only four batters for an OPS-allowed of 1992. Worse yet, he left seven innings to be pitched by his fellow relievers — eight innings if the Indians were to be in a position to win, not that was an issue as it turned out. One could argue that Mujica's five-run, 10th inning blowout was worse than this — and Mujica was worse in a strict ERA sense, and Mujica did directly lose that game. The difference is that Mujica was given a tough job — keep a good offense from scoring at all — while Mastny's task should have been easier. Had he allowed three runs over four innings — or even four runs over three innings — we wouldn't have had anything to be upset about. All he had to do was be kind of crappy but not too brief — and he failed completely.

Meet the Inaugural Neskey Educational Opportunity Scholarship Recipients
After Sharon Neskey received extraordinary care from a patient care assistant at the Brigham, she and her family were inspired to establish a scholarship fund to support PCAs who aspire to a career in nursing. The inaugural recipients of the Neskey Educational Opportunity Scholarship are attending UMass Boston this fall and taking the next step on their path to nursing.
"We are deeply grateful to the Neskey family for recognizing and supporting our talented PCAs," said Maddy Pearson, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, chief nursing officer and senior vice president of Patient Care Services. "We are fortunate to have such a dedicated, talented group of PCAs caring for patients at the Brigham."
Each of the recipients has a different story, but they have three important qualities in common: a strong work ethic, dedication to providing outstanding care and a desire to make a difference in the lives of their patients.
Ginielli Bueno, Tower 11ABD: Originally from Brazil and a new U.S. citizen, Bueno always knew that she wanted to pursue a career in health care. While at Bunker Hill Community College, she was advised to take PCA courses and, during her two years in this role at the Brigham, she found that she loved forming relationships with patients and began to feel that nursing is her calling. She says, "Not many professions give the opportunity to make a difference in a person's life like nursing does."
Jennifer Lyons, Tower 15CD: A biology major in college, Lyons found that she wasn't "in love" with the subject and eventually withdrew from the program. The care her grandmother later received at the Brigham would be the spark that ignited Lyons' true passion and professional aspiration. "I have seen what an impact compassionate and empathetic care makes, and it is remarkable," she says. Lyons has been working as a PCA for seven years, during which time she learned phlebotomy. From the experience of peer phlebotomy training, she discovered that she enjoys teaching and hopes to pursue a master's degree in education after completing her BSN.
Alba Mullen, Tower 11ABD: Although there are many nurses in her family, Mullen's path to the profession was anything but traditional. Mullen, a native of Costa Rica, planned on a career in law and received her associate's degree to become a paralegal. When she couldn't find work in that field, she volunteered as a dental apprentice and says she "fell in love with interacting with patients," her first hint that nursing may be a natural fit. She decided to take CNA classes and joined the Brigham as a PCA last year.
Emilienne Phane, Tower 10BA: Phane, who was born in Haiti and grew up in France, has been working as a CNA and a PCA since she moved to the U.S. eight years ago. She first considered a career in nursing when she watched her mother care for her ailing father with compassion and selflessness until he passed away. At that time, Phane left school to help her mother take care of Phane's five siblings. Phane says that this time in her life, although difficult, taught her to enjoy caring for others. She believes that truly remarkable nurses have not only clinical skills, but also "the heart and compassion to care for and comfort people in need."

The final patch of Wrath of the Lich King, patch 4.0.1, is poised to go live at any time. This patch ushers in many of the big changes that players are awaiting as the release date for Cataclysm draws near. Most of the modifications to the game are centered around the new talent trees. As many are already aware, the class talent trees have been completely redone and now have a maximum investment of 41 points at level 85. The ultimate abilities in each tree will be at the 31 point level and, in fact, you will be required to invest 31 points in your 'primary' talent tree before you can move on and invest points in the other two trees.
The user interface has been tweaked and Blizzard has incorporated some neat ideas 'borrowed' from third party addons as they do from time to time. All in all, the patch will be a major overhaul and is of a size commensurate to the task. The background downloader is currently available to begin downloading the patch which is a whopping 1.5gb, so it's a good idea to start now so that it's finished in a timely fashion!
New Launcher Client
The Cataclysm patcher client is one of the most innovative and all around awesome updates to the game. The new launcher downloads a minimal amount of required information which will be shown with a red progress bar. Once you have picked up all the required information you'll have the option to play while the client patches. At this point the bar will turn yellow and you'll be able to enter the world and play with some occasional glitches. You won't want to raid or arena at this point, but doing daily quests, farming, or even sitting around in Dalaran are a heck of a lot better than staring at a download progress bar! When the bar turns green you can access pretty much all of the functionality of the patch while it finishes downloading and can do whatever you please without worry. This is a huge quality of life improvement and something that I'm sure everyone can agree was a fantastic idea.
Once the bar turns yellow and enters stage "2" you're good to go.
The new ability that lets you re-allocate certain stats into others, called reforging, will be live in 4.0. Reforging was a response to player outcry about poorly or unusually itemized pieces of loot that had severely suboptimal statistics. Players can now visit Reforging NPCs in capital cities and reallocate 40% of any one secondary statistic on an item into another statistic of their choosing.
There are a couple rules to remember when reforging: you can't reforge into a stat that already exists on the item and you can only reforge one stat at a time on each piece of gear. Don't worry if you screw up your reforge though, you can always undo any reforging to your gear and redo it with different stats.
Talent Review
The much anticipated (or dreaded depending on what class you play) talent changes will be going live with 4.0.1. The changes don't just end with talents though; many baseline abilities are being modified in their damage, cast time, or effects. It's never a bad idea to log onto the Public Test Realm and test out exactly how your class is playing with the new talents, because in many cases the changes are major .
If you do venture onto the PTR however, remember that the damage levels are currently tuned for level 85! This is resulting in players being soloed by hunter pets, one shot by elemental shamans, and other unfortunate incidents. The actual numbers that will be patched onto the live servers in 4.0.1 are currently unknown, but if they use the PTR numbers we're in for a chaotic ride from 4.0.1 until Cataclysm comes out.
Resilience Changes
In response to the unfortunate interactions between PvP and PvE gear in Wrath of the Lich King Battleground and Arena play the Resilience stat is undergoing some significant changes. The universal damage reduction from resilience is being lowered (though how it will scale at 85 is currently unknown), and the critical strike chance reduction that currently exists on resilience will be going away completely.
This is probably a positive change since an inability to land critical attacks is more punishing to certain classes than others. A Shadow Priest or Warlock that relies on many non-critting damage over time spells and only has a 150% bonus from critical damage or an Elemental Shaman that has an ability that guarantees them a massive critical Lava Burst on a short timer will be significantly less impeded by the current resilience than a class that has abilities that proc from critical strikes or that has 200% or higher damage on critical strikes.
Many PvPers are worried that the reduction in the effectiveness of Resilience will lead to increased usage of PvE gear in PvP settings. Whether that's true or not will have to be seen, but right now it's just too soon to tell.
User Interface Modifications
Blizzard has added some significant quality of life enhancements to the User Interface. Here are some of the major ones:
- Spell Alerts have been added which will help players monitor procs and special abilities like Overpower, Hot Streak, and such. This will remove the need for players to install often-complicated addons like Power Auras in order to see when their procs happen.
- New Blizzard raid frames are available and can also be used instead of the normal 5-player UI. They still have a long ways to go before they can rival the likes of Grid, however.
- The Arena pane has been upgraded to show more information (think the Gladius mod, but a bit less cheesy).
- Profession panes have better filtering and search functionality so you won't have to search through 50 grey abilities when you want to make that weird Enchant or Potion.
- The Spellbook has been updated for easier use and is now much less cluttered.
The new Blizzard Raid Frames are strikingly similar to grid, but lack its customizability. Nonetheless they are a big improvement over the current basic UI.
All in all, this is a significant patch and should sate the appetites of WoW players until Cataclysm itself is released, or so we hope!

The US Navy's first trial with the solid-state LaWS (laser weapon system) from aboard the USS Ponce points towards revolutionizing global warfare. The at-sea demonstration in April this year brought down a test drone and fortified confidence in concentrated laser weapons technology. It has broken out of a Star Wars image and transformed into a reality with practical adaptations underway. The day we see a a laser blasting apart an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) is not very far off.
"Our directed energy initiatives, and specifically the solid-state laser, are among our highest priority science and technology programs," Chief of Naval Research Rear Adm. Matthew Klunder said. "The solid-state laser program is central to our commitment to quickly deliver advanced capabilities to forward-deployed forces."
The cost factor is also making the top honchos crave laser. Contrary to the $1.4 million Tomahawk cruise missile, the laser might come down as low as $1 a shot, with the complexity of the laser battery close to a commercial welding unit. And that's all you need to fight off UAVs and small, fast gunboats in swarms.
The mechanisms behind the action takes a hell of a lot of engineering but this is what it finally boils down to:
The direct-energy weapons transmit photons, elementary particles but with definite wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. A target absorbs a laser's energy and the laser burns through the target, damaging its atomic layers.
Unlike the explosions you see in Hollywood movies, laser burns and that burn hurts badly, more so if on living tissue. If laser safety is not properly followed, using a high-energy laser as a weapon will almost certainly become a challenging, operational issue. And we are talking about dealing with several hundreds of kilowatts of power, even higher.
For example, shooting down ballistic missiles will need the strategic laser weapon to deliver 1MW of power to the target. Since laser faces atmospheric absorption and scattering, it has to fire ten times its landing strength. That could be 100 times as well, depending on how far it is landing. That brings down efficiency; however, with all those advances in beam control, adaptive optics and frequency-tailoring techniques, it seems a global barbecue party could be on the horizon.

Vancouver names first Chief Resilience Officer
April 7, 2017
By CCE
Katie McPherson, part of Vancouver's office of emergency management for five years, has been appointed the city's Chief Resilience Officer.
The city of Vancouver has formally launched its partnership with 100 Resilient Cities (100RC) – an initiative pioneered by The Rockefeller Foundation – and announced the appointment of its first chief resilience officer, Katie McPherson.
The appointment of a chief resilience officer (CRO) is part of the 100RC program, and is funded by the organization through a grant to the city. As CRO,McPherson will leverage resources and knowledge from 100RC, its partners, and other member cities to drive action to address the city's most pressing resilience challenges.
McPherson will lead the development of the citywide Resilience Strategy to ensure Vancouver's residents, communities, institutions, businesses, and systems can persist, adapt, and grow no matter what kinds of chronic stresses and acute shocks Vancouver may experience.
McPherson has been with Vancouver's Office of Emergency Management for five years. She recently led the implementation of a new community resilience portfolio with a mandate to work collaboratively with government and community stakeholders to promote resilience to all hazards.
As manager of community resilience, and former manager of emergency planning, Katie:
- Developed new ways for citizens, businesses, and volunteers to engage in community emergency preparedness
- Led regional risk assessments for oil spills
- Engaged a wide range of inter-agency partners to assess risk and develop plans for emergency response and recovery
- Took leadership roles during emergency responses to the 2015 Marathassa Oil Spill, the 2015 Port of Vancouver container fire, and the 2013 Calgary Flood
"The City is proud to launch this partnership with 100RC to build a stronger resiliency strategy tailored to the issues and challenges our residents care about most, led by our first-ever chief resilience officer," said Mayor Gregor Robertson in a release.
Vancouver was named part of the 100RC network in 2016, along with Calgary and Toronto. Montreal joined the initiative in 2014. Calgary named its CRO, Brad Stevens, in March, while Montreal appointed Louise Bradette as CRO in Jan. 2016.

The owner of the closing Pleasure Island theme park has accused the local council of a lack of support for tourism in Cleethorpes.
Melanie Wood, whose attraction will open for the final time this Saturday, said that the town "lacks promotion" from North East Lincolnshire Council.
She told the Grimsby Telegraph: "There is no or very little budget, and Cleethorpes has suffered as a result.
"A lot of time and effort has been put into renewables and that is commendable but Cleethorpes has suffered."
Wood said that her business was a "small enterprise" and did not have the "financial support of the larger places".
Weather was also identified as being a factor in the park's demise.
She said: "The weather did not help. Cleethorpes is on the North East coast and we get a lot harsher weather then other places."
North East Lincolnshire councillor Peter Wheatley said the authority was "saddened" that Pleasure Island was closing.
"We are supporting its owners as they look at the future of the site. However, there is more to Cleethorpes than Pleasure Island."
The park and its attractions will open for the final time this Saturday, when it will host a fireworks display.
A number of the park's rides are already advertised on the used rides market.

A study has found that infant's mental faculties become capable of visualising out-of sight objects based on the descriptions given by other people, just before they reach the age of two.
Boston University psychologist Patricia Ganea and her colleagues asked 19-month and 22-month -old infants to name a toy that was presented to them in the lab. After a short time, they took the toy from the infants, and placed it in an adjoining room.
While the toy was out of view, lab assistants told the infants that the toy had become soaking wet after someone mistakenly spilled a bucket of water.
It could be done by testing whether the kids would reach for the newly wet stuffed toy or a dry version identical to what they had been previously presented, upon being asked to retrieve the animal from the next room.
The researchers found that the 22-month-olds, but not the 19-month-olds, were able to identify the toy based solely on the property that they were told about but had never seen.
The finding indicates that before the end of their second year, infants had become capable of updating their knowledge using what other people told them.
"This nascent ability constitutes a significant cognitive advance, enabling children to vastly expand their knowledge by learning about the world through verbal interaction," says Ganea.
The study has been published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.

Vichy Rainbow Shower
A tingly shower pleasure.
The Vichy-Rainbow-Shower offers a brand-new, unique shower pleasure through the high-quality treatment, the sophisticated technology and the exceptional design. The shower head is equipped with micro nozzles assembled in 2 rows. It is swaying back and forth and is showering the body from the feet up to the neck. Very fine water jets are spoiling the body in the same way as sea waves, with tender rain showers or with intensely crackling drops.
By admixing agents (such as dissolved salt or nurturing oils), the well-feeling can even be increased.
The water is flowing over sparkling Swarovsky crystals, which diffuse the flicker-free LED colour light on the body. The Vichy rainbow shower needs 150-250 litres of water per treatment, which is the same as for a bath.
The pleasant, relaxing and vitalising whole body shower treatments with the Vichy shower have a long standing tradition. They are especially well-proven in the hydro and Thalasso therapy as well as in the cosmetics, fitness and wellness areas.
The regular, evenly-applied shower brings about a better blood circulation. The result is an enhanced oxygen transfer, a purification and detoxication of the skin and of the internal organs. The skin is regenerating and becomes tauter. The soul can release tension.
With the control, the duration of the treatment, the admixture of additives/salts and the disinfection is regulated. A thermostatic mixer with scald protection provides more security. By means of the hand key, the guest can integrate individual short cold shower phases into the treatment – they have a stimulating effect on the circulation.
The comfortable couch of complete plastic material is optimally suited for the wet area. The lying surface consists of high-quality, structured acrylic glass. The couch has a high degree of comfort due to the height-adjustable head board, the detached arm supports and the splash guard.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Saturday marks one year since the shooting death of 17-year-old Jordan Davis.
His family held a candlelight vigil service on Saturday evening in Jacksonville Beach where the public was welcome to attend.
Both Jordan's mother and father were at the vigil, along with dozens of young people. Many of them were Jordan's friends.
Music was played, they wore t-shirts saying "Rest in Peace Jordan," and of course, they honored him with candlelight.
The family says they picked Jacksonville Beach because it was a place near and dear to their son's heart. Jordan's father also says it's hard to believe it's been a year. Others say they hope to see the violence come to an end.
"We just want everyone to remember Jordan Davis," said his father, Ron. "He has been gone a year. Sometimes it takes a whole year for parents to let sink in that your baby is not coming home. I have to acknowledge that he's not coming home, but he is with our Father and he's still in my heart."
Ron said his son loved to swim. He said they took many trips to Jacksonville Beach and would play in the water and just laugh until their stomachs hurt. He said most of the vigils for Jordan have been in the Downtown area so he wanted to have this one at the beach, not only because of Jordan's love for swimming, but so the Jacksonville Beach community can be a part of remembering Jordan.
"We lost our future for me... I'll never have grandkids, I'll never have a daughter-in-law or great grandkids, so it's having to learn to deal with the thought that my future is forever changed," said Jordan's mother, Lucia McBath.
McBath said it doesn't get easier. Losing her son Jordan Davis a year ago is the hardest thing she ever dealt with. But she said what makes the situation more tolerable, is the support her family has received from so many people.
UNCUT: Jordan's parents talk about past year
"What I do know is we have been shown so much love and support and I feel we have done something right as Jordan's parents and family because Jordan was loved by so many people," said McBath.
Jordan's accused killer, Michael Dunn, has his trial set for February 3rd. Jordan's family hopes that trial will bring justice, but over the weekend, the focus will solely on remembering Jordan. His dad, Ron Davis, said he misses his son more each day.
"The bottom line is we miss our baby and we continue to miss our baby you start thinking of everything since he was small the things you did together with him and as he grew up," said Jordan's dad, Ron.
Ron is amazed by the support they've gotten not only from family and friends, but from complete strangers.
"Even the ones who didn't know Jordan that read about him, they call you and text you and pray for you and for people to pray for someone they didn't know that takes extraordinary belief in the lord and were thankful for that," said Davis.
"It's time to really just start respecting people as people," said family friend Maria Johnson. "Fighting, violence and killing is not the answer. It doesn't resolve anything. Unfortunately, we're coming into a society where it's happening way too often."
Friday evening in Atlanta, another vigil is being held at Jordan's grave site. That one will be more small and intimate. But for Jordan's loved ones the weekend will be all about him.

The end of the road
Watching Jesuit High School play against Granite Bay High School in the basketball playoff game can be summed up in a few words from Head Cheerleader Will Peterson, "It was brutal, absolutely brutal."
The first quarter started out extremely slow with Jesuit not putting points onto the board until after the four minute mark. Yet junior Malik Duffy had a fantastic 1st quarter, scoring 8 of the 13 points for the Marauders, with the first quarter ending 13 – 11 Jesuit.
There was an electrifying start to the second quarter with senior Isaiah Bailey providing a dominating scoring surge. While Bailey was driving to score, Granite Bay would pull up and shoot three pointers. The went into half with a 24 – 20 lead.
The third quarter did not start anywhere near as well as the second quarter with the Grizzlies putting up 6 quick points within thirty seconds. Fouls were abundant this quarter causing the galley crew getting rowdier by the minute. The quarter ended with the score being tied at 35.
The fourth quarter was an all out blitz. Fast breaks left and right with great shots and drives from both teams. Granite Bay's sophomore Darren Nelson fouled out with 3:13 to go. This inspired the Jesuit side, yet they could not hold the lead as Granite Bay took over the lead and held it until the end of the game.
The last two minutes of the game seemed to last forever as the Marauders instilled the Jim Valvano fouling technique. The teams traded free throws back and forth, but in the end Jesuit suffered a tough loss with a final score of 58 – 60.
Senior Liam Galaine, team manager, said, "It's a lot of emotions man. We went hard this season, but we've got plenty of young players."
They did indeed do fantastic this season and with a strong freshman class future success is likely for the Marauders.

Here we have another awesome pump from one of the biggest names in the industry, DAB, who is known and respected worldwide for the quality and performance of the pumps they manufacturer. A great choice for many applications is the DAB JINOX102MPCX High Pressure Pump.
This pump is simply loaded with excellent features that make it absolutely perfect for a wide variety of applications.
This incredibly powerful pump can be used for both clear and rainwater and is strong enough to service a building or residence up to 4 stories high with up to 6 separate taps.
The ability to get water into your structure, no matter where you live is of course of the highest priority. Here in Australia where we deal with incredibly dry periods and face water issues throughout the country at times the ability to make use water of from a variety of sources is of paramount concern.
Many countries try and get their citizens to use rainwater when and if they can in order to take some of the burden off the water supply system and that is never a bad thing, but here in Australia, at least in some of the more rural areas, the use of rainwater is not only advised but absolutely necessary for survival.
When you are on a well water system you need to take advantage of whatever source of water you can to take some of the burden off that well, especially for usages that do not require the water to be clean and potable.
Applications like the running of the washing machine and the flushing of toilets can all be done using simple rain water so that you never have to fear the drying up of your more precious water coming from the well.
Collecting rainwater for those chores that do not require drinkable water makes the most sense for many Australians.
The ability to take the pressure off the well for things like watering the lawn or watering the livestock and for running those machine like the above mentioned washing machine and toilets can make all the difference in the world for many rural residents.
Setting up a water collection system is exceptionally simple and can not only take the pressure off the well but can also save you a ton of money over the years off of your water bills.
Setting out a tank to collect the rainwater is very easy, you can even set a few up around your property that can catch the runoff of the roofs on the house and barn, if you have one, or any other structure that has a downpipe.
This great pump is made with stainless steel components so that it will be able to last for many years even in our harsh environment.
This pump can increase your water pressure dramatically if you have a problem with low pressure and runs so quietly that you will not even notice it running.
This baby can pump up to 60 full liters per minute and is backed by a fantastic warranty that will give you peace of mind for many years to come.
As with the vast majority of our great pumps, this one can be used right out of the box and has standard construction designs that make it extremely durable and this one is in fact the most efficient water pressure pump that can be purchased today!
Low noise, great flow rates, a fully backed warranty and excellent construction all make this DAB JINOX102MPCX High Pressure Pump a true winner and an informed purchase for those who need a truly great pump for a variety of applications.

Asian Online Recipes (Cooking Guide)
Made without yeast, quick breads encompass a
remarkably wide variety of baked goods. Pancakes, muffins, crackers and
fried dough all fall under this category. These breads are relatively
quick to make, requiring none of the rising time that yeast breads need.
Heat, eggs, and fast-acting chemical leaveners such as baking powder and
baking soda are the most common leavening agents for quick breads.
To make tender quick breads, mix just until
the wet and dry ingredients are combined. A few patches of dry flour are
okay as they will moisten during cooking. Avoid over-mixing, which
develops the gluten in the flour, and will make the quick bread tough
and chewy.
Overcooked quick breads could be salvaged by
poking deep holes through the top with a skewer and drizzle fruit juice
or a liquid sweetener (maple syrup or honey) over the holes to penetrate
into the bread. As for cooking an under-baked quick bread through, lay
slices across a baking sheet if the bread has already cooled. Cover with
foil, and bake at 300oF until cooked through. If the bread is
still hot, put it back into the over until done.
To retain moistness in quick breads that
include dried fruits such as raisins, apricots, and apples that absorb
moisture in quick breads, replace up to one-third of the liquid in the
recipe with low-fat plain yogurt. Also, plump the dried fruit before
adding it to the batter. Cover with boiling water and let soak 15
minutes Cool and pat dry with paper towels. Or substitute some honey for
the sugar in the recipe. The hydroscopic quality of honey (drawing
moisture from the air) helps retain moisture in the finished product.
If you want fresh, hot quick breads in the
morning, prepare the ingredients the night before, keeping the dry and
wet ingredients in separate bowls. Come morning, preheat the oven,
combine the 2 bowls of ingredients, turn the batter into a pan and bake.
In many traditional quick bread recipes, you
can use 25 percent less fat than is called for in the recipe with no
other changes. It can also be improvised to make a more healthful
doughnut. When preparing any quick bread, make up an extra batch of
plain batter, adding a pinch of nutmeg. Bake in mini Bundt pans
according to the recipe directions. Cool and coat with a glaze made from
1 cup confectioners' sugar thinned with 3 to 4 tablespoons milk or
orange juice. Reheat briefly in the microwave oven for those moments
when you crave a glazed doughnut.

# 1 – Heineken does, in fact, taste better in Amsterdam
Between our awesome partner event last Thursday, touring the Heineken Experience, attending various technology and channel partner parties throughout the week, Quantum's party on Monday, and just general networking around Dam Square – I drank more delicious Heineken the week of IBC than I have my entire life.
# 2 – The street signs in Amsterdam are more like "suggestions" for bikers
I love biking, so I biked every single day in Amsterdam – it was probably my favorite aspect about the city. What a great way to commute to and from a trade show. (If only Vegas was this bike-friendly…sigh)
After riding with the locals for almost a full week, everywhere, it's obvious that red lights, one way signs and "don't park your bike here" signs are largely ignored. But everyone seems happy and I didn't witness a single collision.
# 3 – Great validation from end users, channel partners and technology partners that there is nothing like StorNext
For studios, broadcasters and post-production companies I spoke with, it's clear that multiple streams of 4K content are the new norm, and being able to create and collaborate faster is key to survival. With production budgets under pressure, the ability to do more in less time is key to our customers' success. We're proud and humbled that so many users, MAMs, PAMs and more consider Quantum storage a key part of their workflow.
That said – we know we have lots of work to do. And we're on it!
# 4 – There's a real opportunity for Quantum to automate media archives and help our customers monetize that content in new ways
What I mean by "build out" is that many studios, broadcasters and post houses I spoke with use a tape-based workflow for their media archive. This means they use LTO tape (awesome!) but the actual archive itself is in the form of tapes on a shelf, and each tape represents, perhaps, one completed project.
While that workflow works great for these houses, it isn't future proof and certainly doesn't lend itself to making that content metadata searchable – for example, to search and then re-use that content to generate business via new channels and new platforms.
Quantum's portfolio of products and our expertise is uniquely suited to help customers go from a "manual" tape-based archive to a searchable "online" archive that is AI-ready.
# 5 – There are opportunities for us to expand to other areas of the workflow, and other workflows
I spoke to many producers that expressed how challenging on-set storage is becoming, especially with multiple 4K cameras running continuously, now that it's not uncommon for dailies to quick run into the multiple Terabyte range. This makes offload and other requirements challenging for DITs, and something that, today, requires a host of manual steps.
We've got some ideas of how we could help, so we'll be exploring this as I get back from IBC. If you are interested in products for this area – hit us up![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Your business needs an agency that will spend time researching your company, it's competitors, your customers, and your industry, as well developing and refining original designs to create a logo that accurately represents your business and appeals to your customers.
If a logo is not designed with the necessary time, care and experience needed to develop the correct identity, rebranding across your marketing materials later will cost far more in reputation, brand recognition, time and money, and you will be wishing you had invested that time and money at the very beginning. Avoid the 20/20 hindsight and get your logo design developed right the first time.
Coconut Graphics specialise in original logo design. We put ourselves in your shoes by researching your company, it's industry, your services, business objectives and customers in order to develop a logo design that is right for you and your target audience.
We use this information, along with any requests you might have, to make a number of logo design concepts. We then ask for your feedback and requests in order to make any appropriate changes and revisions. By keeping you in the loop, any ideas you may have for your company's image come to life at every stage of the logo design process.
Your logo is the core of your business image and has a huge influence on your advertising and marketing materials. Your logo should be clean and simple. It should stand the test of time, reflecting your company's focus now and in the future. So although it may only seem like a small item to think about when starting a business, it can make a huge impact on your brand.
Our logo packages are at fixed, competitive prices that are accessible for any business budget. All our logo design packages are emailed to you ready to use. You will receive various files containing your logo for use on the web, print media and artwork files for future designs, in vector and pdf formats, all in colour and black and white variations.

Unique and unusual baby names are not just a celebrity fad.
According to new research out of San Diego State University, American parents are giving their children more unique names and the most common names are nowhere near as popular as in decades past.
Study looks at 325 million babies born in U.S.
In the largest and most comprehensive study ever done on trends in the uniqueness of names, researchers analyzed the names given to more than 325 million babies born between 1880 and 2007. In 1955, nearly one-third (32 percent) of boys received one of the ten most popular names. But by 2007, less than one in 10 got a common name.
For girls, in 1955, about one in four (22 percent) received one of the ten most popular names. But by 2007 that number was only one in 12. "These days, you don't have to be the child of a celebrity to get a name as unique as Shiloh, Suri or Apple," said study co-author Jean Twenge, SDSU psychology professor and co-author of The Narcissism Epidemic: Living in the Age of Entitlement.Uniqueness is more commonAccording to Twenge, this shift illustrates the growing interest of Americans in uniqueness and standing out instead of sameness and fitting in. "This huge change in how parents name their babies is a particularly vivid illustration of the shift toward valuing uniqueness in American society," Twenge said.
"Parents used to give their children common names so they would fit in and their names would be easy to pronounce and spell. Now, they give their child a unique name so their kid will stand out and be a star."
According to study co-author W. Keith Campbell, this change happened at the same time that Americans seem to have embraced more individualistic traits such as assertiveness and self-esteem on psychological questionnaires.
"Unique names may have some benefits such as creating a more individual identity, but they run the risk of promoting separateness, which is linked to narcissism," said Campbell, psychology professor at the University of Georgia and co-author of The Narcissism Epidemic: Living in the Age of Entitlement.The study, which will be presented at the annual conference of the Association for Psychological Science in San Francisco on May 23, used the Social Security Administration database of social security card holders.

Daily Skin Care Tips for Acne Prone Skin
When you have acne-prone skin, you need to have a daily acne care routine. For your particular skin concern, this routine should aim to remove excess oil, keep pores clean, and help your breakouts heal faster.
A daily acne care routine doesn't have to be complicated or time-consuming. You just need to follow certain guidelines to help keep your skin clean and blemish-free.
Related Article
Here is a simple guide to creating an acne care routine:
Cleanse thoroughly, but gently.
When your face feels oily or dirty, you may get the urge to scrub or use strong cleansers: don't! Using a gentle cleanser, wash your face with your fingertips only. Include your neck, jawline, and the front and back of your ears.
Use alcohol-free toner.
Toners can help remove excess oil, and some even have acne-fighting ingredients. Apply a small amount of toner to a cotton pad or ball, then gently smooth over your face and neck. This helps remove leftover makeup, dirt, and oil.
For acne prone skin, alcohol-free toners are recommended because they don't sting or irritate the skin.
Apply oil-free moisturizers.
Just because your skin is oily doesn't mean you can skip this important step. Moisturizing may actually help prevent and relieve irritation. For your skin concern, a lighter formula like a gel may be better than heavier cream.
Related Article
Wear moisturizing sunscreen.
Sun protection is a must no matter what type of skin you have, but heavier formulas may irritate acne-prone skin. For your skin type, the best options are sunscreens with a light liquid base.
On top of your daily acne care regimen, you may also opt to take oral acne medication like Lactezin®. Lactezin® is a clinically tested pimple treatment that contains a breakthrough formulation of natural ingredients such as Lactoferrin, Vitamin E and Zinc. It may help treat pimples and may also help prevent it from recurring.
