Three of our past girls were part of Femina Miss India 2019 – Season-3 South zone runner-up Shaashthra (Goa) and Season 5 Top 2 – Nikita Tanwani (Andhra Pradesh) and Garima Yadav (Madhya Pradesh).

Demographic: Shoujo
Age: Teen
[xrr rating=4/5]
The Earl and the Fairy is a story set in Victorian England. Lydia Carlton is a 17 year old fairy doctor (someone who can see and talk to fairies). She doesn't seem to have any friends except for a talking cat and most people around her are freaked out by the fact that she consistently talks to herself (they cannot see the fairies). When she sets off to go visit her father in London, she gets kidnapped by Edgar Ashenbert otherwise known as "the blue knight count".
Shoujo mangas can easily become cliche and while the Earl and the Fairy does have it's cliche moments, it surprisingly has a lot of action and mystery. The volume definitely keeps you interested in what is going to happen next, and has it's fill of unexpected turns. Most of the characters seem complex and while you do learn about some of their backstories, I have a feeling that theres more to these characters than what this volume gives us. Unfortunately, Lydia seems like a very flat character. I found myself annoyed by her inner thoughts and reasonings.
This manga also has British folklore injected into it. I don't have much knowledge on British folklore, but it makes me want to read up on it and see how well the manga translates that. Overall, this shoujo is refreshing in its originality and I'm actually more interested in the plot line than the "romance".
The Earl and the Fairy was released on March 6, 2012 and is available here:

Halloween would not be complete without that indulgent movie marathon night watching those nostalgic classics. I am a fiend for any sort of a theme and that's why I love Halloween so much! When it comes to any sort of occasion, I always get excited to see what M&S will bring, and the treats this year did not disappoint. So, gather your friends for a night of movies, treats, popcorn and potions this bank holiday weekend!
Step 1: Gather your treats!
M&S have a fantastic selection of spooky themed treats at the moment and best of all they're 3 for the price of 2! An ample supply of popcorn goes without saying!
Step 2: Set the mood with lots of candles.
Light all the cables you have, carve a few pumpkins. These things don't need to cost a fortune. Just don't forget to blow them all out afterwards!
Step 3: Have your favourite Halloween movies at the ready.
I'm not a huge fan of horror films but these classics always go down well with me. You can't beat a bit of Hocus Pocus. Why not make a theme of it?!

What a lovely rainy, drizzly, overcast day we had here yesterday! I overslept, got up at 9:00! Made it to the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store by 10:05! Renee and I both had very productive days! I got a lot of work done and managed to get a few projects finished too! After I came home and had some dinner I saw Taylor for a bit and then went over to Brian and Kim's too meet up with Heather for a little early Thirsty Thursday! We had a nice chat and got caught up! Today I want to get some more projects finished at the Store and maybe even get my calendar finished! Yay! Before I get to today's post though our friend Linda from Chicago accused me of being organized! LOL! Well, here is a picture of the fine tuned organization that I use for my cards…
There are many more piles just like that! Filed away… I think not! 😛
Today I'm over on the Stamp, Ink, Paper blog for this week's Anything But a Card challenge…
Being around all of that scrapbooking with Renee makes me feel the need to do a layout every once in a while! My page background is a piece of paper from The Authentique Fabulous 12×12 Line and it's mounted to a piece of Black 110lb. The photo of Maggie and I was taken in January 2015 in Disney. I mounted it to a piece of Crisp Green and then to piece of Rose Chintz. To the left of the picture is a piece of Black 110lb that I cut out with the Bo Bunny Picture This Die that I borrowed from Angie! The strips across the top and down the left are more Crisp Green with a flower from the Altenew Golden Garden Photopolymer Stamp Set stamped in Hero Arts Intense Black. My flowers are from the same set and are also stamped in Intense Black onto Arches 140lb Watercolor Card. I used my Mijello Mission Gold Watercolors to color them and the Coordinating Dies to cut them out. They are adhered to the page with 3D Foam Squares. Finally I needed the perfect greeting (or journaling in this case) and I found it in the Altenew Painted Inspiration Photopolymer Stamp Set. I really love that Golden Garden Set with the sketchy flowers and the Painted Inspirations Set for the lovely greetings! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team project for this week's Stamp, Ink, Paper Anything But a Card Challenge! The rest of the Design Team has some amazing projects to share with you over on the BLOG so be sure to go and pay them a visit! We would love to see what you come up with so make sure that you post your project in the gallery! Thank you for stopping by to see me today! Have a terrific Tuesday! 🙂

Radio Erena: 05 October 2017
Many schools in various parts of Eritrea are reported to be delayed due to shortage of teachers.
According to sources from different parts of the country, the delay for the 2017/2018 academic year, which is mainly seen in the Southern and Anseba zones as well as remote rural areas of the country, is because majority of the teachers did not report back to their respective schools by mid-September as announced by the Eritrean Ministry of Education.
This comes to show, schools, like other government sectors, are faced with lack of human resources, noted the sources.
The teachers, who are trained at the military training camp – known as Sawa [located in the Western part of the country] are not given adequate professional training and are mostly deployed to these schools without their will. Consequently, they don't report back to the schools willingly and on time and some are also believed to cross over to neighboring countries.
According to reports by the Eritrean Ministry of Education, several schools in different zones of the country and remote rural areas were nearly forced to close classes due to shortage of teachers during the 2016/17 academic year.

FABIA R5 Taxi. Behind the Scenes
Just as the ŠKODA team was collecting accolades in the World Rally Championship, the video, after being published, took off at dizzying speed and zoomed to a million views on social networks. ŠKODA FABIA R5 driving through downtown Prague as a taxi gathered more than 2.5 million views on YouTube and over 940,000 on Facebook.
The filming itself took place before last Christmas. A team of almost a hundred people contributed to it. The racing taxi was also accompanied by a specially modified six-wheeled buggy liberally festooned with cameras, a drone was capturing everything from above, and an entire team of camera operators was engaged in the streets.
Come see the "Making of" video:
Both the creators and the representatives of the ŠKODA Motorsport factory team are satisfied. "We are thrilled that the FABIA R5 Taxi video met with such tremendous success. Through the video, we wanted to hank our fans for their support during the successful 2017 season. At the same time, we hope we attracted many new ŠKODA Motorsport fans who will support us in the coming season," says the team's director Michal Hrabánek.
Acquiring new fans is welcomed also by Jan Kopecký, who drove the car through the metropolis's historic centre: "For me, the entire FABIA R5 Taxi project was an excellent diversion in the middle of preparations for the new season. The video has a fantastic several million views, so a whole lot of people could see me in the very non-traditional role of taxi driver. I hope everyone will support me also in my real work during the rally season."
See how ŠKODA FABIA R5 performed in its role as a taxi:

Charlotte DJ Company ATG Entertainment created a fantastic evening for the students at Marvin Ridge High School. The Prom was at Bank Of America (Panthers) Stadium!
Prom started as normal as the DJ (Brian Hines) and his assistant (Katherine Johnson) started their show. About 20 minutes into it a fire alarm went off in the building from a sensor that was triggered with a water line that the maintenance crew had been working on earlier in the day. Everyone had to evacuate the building (students, faculty, staff at the stadium, even the DJs). While walking outside Brian already knew what had to be done. While most people would just stand around with the attitude that they would just have to wait until everyone went back inside to perform, Brian thought otherwise. He knew that he was paid to entertain regardless of what happened throughout the night and so that's what his ATG Team decided to do.
The ATG DJ Event Team was actually performing TWO proms at the stadium that night. Brian Hines was the DJ for the Marvin Ridge High School Prom and Mitch Henson was the DJ for the Lake Norman High School Prom. So BOTH SCHOOLS were now being shuffled outside to wait on the fire department to come and inspect the building.
Brian immediately got permission from Molly (his contact at the stadium) and also permission from Officer Keith Lewis from the Charlotte PD to entertain the students outside. After making sure that he got the go ahead from the proper authorities, Brian flagged down a few limo companies and found one that would be willing to let him DJ through their car stereo system. Since Brian always has backup music wherever he goes, he was able to pump some party jams through the car system and was able to start an instant flash mob for the Prom attendees so they didn't miss a beat!
If you are looking for Charlotte's Best DJ that can keep your event going no matter what happens – call ATG Entertainment Today at 704-537-9300.

Yes, it happened. Believe it Pitt fans. For the second time in the last ten years, Pittsburgh has defeated the #2 team in the nation on the road. In 2007, the Panthers defeated second ranked West Virginia in Morgantown knocking the Mountaineers out of the BCS National Championship Game. Nine years later in Death Valley, one of the most difficult venues in all the nation, the Panthers have shocked the world once more.
Pittsburgh fans came into this one prepared for the worst. Clemson's star quarterback Deshaun Watson was probably going to pass for somewhere around 600 yards in his absolute annihilation of the Pitt secondary. Mike Williams would probably receive at least 15 of those passes and exceed 200 yards with a touchdown along the way. That's what Pitt fans expected. And what is amazing is that all of those came true. Yet when everybody in Memorial Stadium glanced up at the scoreboard after 60 minutes of play, it read Pittsburgh 43, Clemson 42.
It all started with Pittsburgh's efficient opening drive capped off by a 15 yard touchdown pass from quarterback Nate Peterman to fullback George Aston with 13:08 on the clock. For a Panther offense that has been solid all year, such a quick score was not too out of the ordinary. Sure, against Clemson it's a bit of a surprise. But any experienced Panther supporter knows not to get excited yet. However, when Ryan Lewis picked off Deshaun Watson in the end zone on the ensuing drive, many college football fans began changing their channels to ABC. Ultimately, Pitt's charge out of the end zone led to nothing, and the first quarter scoring involved a 1 yard rush by Wayne Gallman, his first of three on the day, a 46 yard pass from Peterman to James Conner, and a controversial touchdown by Gallman to make it 14-14. Initially, officials granted Pittsburgh a touchdown as sophomore Jordan Whitehead had returned Gallman's fumble 100 yards for a touchdown. But definitive video evidence of Gallman crossing the plane before the drop allowed officials to overturn the call.
Watson opened up the scoring in the second quarter with a 15 yard touchdown to Mike Williams quickly followed by Peterman's 55 yard score to tight end Scott Orndoff. The touchdown is now the longest passing touchdown the Tigers have allowed all year, exceeding the length of James Conner's score earlier in the contest. The score that came with 9:33 remaining in the quarter became a vital spot in this game as Pitt kicker Chris Blewitt shanked the extra point right off of the left upright. Pitt trailed 21-20, wondering whether that one point would come back to play a factor in this football game. A major highlight, especially for Pitt fans was Avonte Maddox's interception with under seven minutes to play in quarter two. Maddox is a guy who has been very unreliable all year at corner, and he could not have picked a better time to make a big play like this as Watson was marching Clemson down the field once again. Pitt closed the drive with a 1 yard touchdown to George Aston for his second of the day making it a 27-21 Panther advantage. Watson was able to counter with a touchdown of his own to Artavis Scott in a drive that lasted 1:14. Pitt was able to put together some quick offense as well, but Blewitt's 53 yard field goal attempt was blocked to end the half.
The Panthers opened the second half down 28-27, trailing by a missed extra point to the #2 team in college football. Pitt started the quarter strong, forcing Clemson to punt for the first time in the game on their opening possession, but that's just when problems started to arise. Pitt's first turnover of the game came as Peterman lost the ball due to an overwhelming amount of pressure from the Clemson pass rush. The play was quickly followed by an arm injury to Jordan Whitehead that would leave him out for the remainder of the game. Whitehead has been Pitt's most effective secondary player throughout the year, and Watson threw a 27 yard touchdown to Deon Cain on the very next play. Then, Clemson fans were unhappy. Very unhappy. They booed the officials from the seven minute mark until the end of the third quarter. The Tigers were called for penalties on back to back plays, one of which was a very disputable personal foul call on Ben Boulware. The penalties led the Panthers to the Tigers' 22 yard line and Peterman finished off the drive with another touchdown pass to Orndoff for four yards. Yet, Pat Narduzzi still chose to hold off on the two point conversion, and Pitt still trailed by a point, 35-34. Clemson was able to finish the quarter with another score as Wayne Gallman ran for his third one yard touchdown of the game. Clemson led at the break, 42-34.
For the first ten minutes of the fourth quarter, this game appeared to be over. Pitt just could not get any offense moving, and it seemed as if the Tigers had made the proper adjustments at the half to stifle Peterman's passing attack. Panther fans had almost given up. Watson led his team all the way down to the Pitt 7 yard line with six minutes to play. Another touchdown would likely put the Tigers up 49-34, and surely the Panthers could not string together two touchdowns in the last six minutes. But then everything about this football game changed. Saleem Brightwell intercepted Deshaun Watson in the red zone and took it back all the way to the Clemson 30 yard line, almost breaking the tackle and taking it to the house. This was Deshaun Watson's third interception on the night, two of which came in crucial red zone play, all of which came in Pitt's own half of the field. With 5:17 left to play James Conner rushed for a magnificent 20 yard touchdown in which he started going left before quickly bouncing back to the wide open right side of the field to make it a 42-40 contest. Pitt's failed two point conversion attempt gave Clemson the ball back with five minutes to play. A few first downs would wrap this game up, and the Clemson Tigers would celebrate a 10-0 record in Death Valley. Watson led the offense all the way down to the Pitt 35 before the Panthers came up with crucial stops on third and fourth down. The Tigers ran the same play on 3rd and 1 and 4th and 1, giving a pitch to Wayne Gallman who was unable to gain any ground on Pitt's swarming defense. With just a minute left to play, Peterman led his team down the field, highlighted by a 21 yard connection with Scott Orndoff to the Clemson 34 yard line. Pitt would gain a few more yards and then this contest came down to one kick, one player. Chris Blewitt. The same guy who'd missed the extra point earlier in the evening and gotten a 53 yarder blocked now had the game at his foot. And after Dabo Swinney iced him once, Chris Blewitt put a 47 yard field goal right through the uprights as the players on the Pitt bench unlinked their arms and rejoiced on the sideline. The squib kick to follow from Pitt led to nothing for the Clemson return team and this thing was over. Pitt had beaten Clemson 43-42 in Death Valley.
After Pittsburgh defeated Penn State on September 10th, most fans thought that would be the marquee win for the season. Pitt would go into ACC play, win the ones they're supposed to win and probably lose to the superior teams of the league like North Carolina and Virginia Tech. Clemson would be an absolute beatdown. But the Panthers defied all odds. Pat Narduzzi defied all odds. The Clemson Tigers were 23-1 in the past two seasons before this game. Pitt just defeated a team that does not lose easily. Even when they go to overtime with NC State, or when they go down to the wire with Troy, or when they barely squeak out a win over the tremendous Louisville Cardinals, they seem to always find a way to win. But not on Saturday the 12th in Death Valley.
Pat Narduzzi notched without a doubt the biggest win of his head coaching career in this one, and it will serve as a huge momentum builder for this Pitt team and his tenure going forward. After Blewitt missed the extra point and had his field goal blocked he was visibly frustrated. Narduzzi put his arm around the senior, encouraged him, and gave him a kiss. This is a moment that Pitt fans like myself will never forget. After years of searching for the right football coach, Pitt may have just found it in Pat Narduzzi. An act like that is one of pure class and pure composure as a head football coach. The optimism and positivity in that notion is something that many football coaches lack, and the University of Pittsburgh needs to cherish this guy.
The victory is particularly special for James Conner. Conner missed almost all of last season due to an injury that was followed by his diagnosis of Hodgkin lymphoma. He's a player that has done so much for this team, this program, and this university. And as his former teammate Tyler Boyd left for the NFL this past season, James Conner took the reigns of a Pitt team that was doubted by a lot of people. To see him get a win like this is just special, and the look on his face after the victory confirms that.
Everything seemed to go right for Pitt to win this game. Though consistent receiving threats Jester Weah and Quadree Henderson were largely ineffective in the contest, Pitt found offense from Orndoff, Aston, and Conner throughout the night, along with some huge plays defensively. This Pitt team is not going anywhere special in 2016. They are 6-4 with two below average ACC opponents left on the schedule. They will very likely end up in a subpar bowl as they typically do. But this win will be remembered for a long time as one of the best games in Pitt football history, and the players on this team will carry it with them for the rest of their Pitt careers and lives. Pitt 43, Clemson 42. Saturday, November 12th, 2016, in Death Valley.

It was Halloween evening, and the first trick-or-treaters were just minutes away from showing up at our joyful home. Eric was dressed as a knight, wearing dragon Corban in the Ergo, and I was decked out as a medieval princess, giving a final stir to our giant pot of hot chocolate. Then my phone rang.
Since my hands were full, Eric answered, surprised to find his boss (a pastor at our church) on the other end. "Oh no." He gasped, in a tone that led me to set down the ladle, dry my hands, and come stand at his side. He listened for a little while, thanked her for calling, then turned to me with an expression I knew led to bad news.
Our friend, a woman at my Mops table, one of Eric's closest friends as teenager, had delivered a beautiful baby boy a few days earlier. We were so excited to meet him, hopeful she'd bring him to our next Mops meeting, and I was already planning nursing dates at our house.
Tragically, on the morning of the 31st, while this sweet boy lay in her arms, he slipped away to be with Jesus.
I won't go into details, but to say that the cause of death is undetermined, except to the extent that it was proven not to be their fault. There was nothing they could have done. But at the time of this phone call, all we knew was that he was gone.
I collapsed on the kitchen floor, nearly taking the pot of cocoa with me, my body wracked with sobs.
"Why? Why? No Jesus NO!!!" I wailed. I had no coherent thoughts in my head except that I wanted it to not be true. Babies die, and it's awful, but not this baby, it couldn't be right.
Today was the memorial, and it amazes me how each time I think I've gotten through the worst of the grieving, fresh waves suddenly wash over me. As raw and painful as my grief is, I know it's miniscule compared to what this couple and their family are going through.
I've been to far too many memorials in my life, and I don't think any can be harder than that of a child. The pastor in no way tried to wrap things up in a pretty bow, even stumbling for the words at times because, really, what can you say? I so appreciated his encouragement that it is okay to cry out to God in anger and doubt, and the reminder that Jesus Himself did the same. Yet, in the midst of the sorrow, there was a certainty as well.
The couple chose readings and songs that were filled with hope. The only hope we can cling to when things are so deeply awful. Her father, the Grandpa, shared how two months earlier he randomly opened his Bible, found the first name on the page, and suggested they add the name Zedekiah to their list, only to have his shocked daughter show him the name they had already chosen written on an index card she was just about to hand him.
Zedekiah, meaning God is Just.
One day, they will see Zedekiah again. One day, in heaven, I will get to meet their sweet boy. Until then, we choose to trust God.
I had planned a recipe post for tomorrow, but it just didn't seem right. That's not where my heart or head is right now. So come back Monday if you're looking for food. Right now, I leave you with a poem. This is the first poem I've written since high school, and I know God gave it to me. It was printed in the memorial bulletin, and I had so many people find me to share that they too had lost a child and it meant so much to them. I know I can't lessen the pain of such a loss, but I hope that sharing this can somehow help bring some healing to those who need it.
Hold your children tight today. I know I am.

With a new propulsion system, the 2019 Chevy Volt will slice charging times nearly in half, being better suited for "opportunity charging," or plugging in while around town to top off the battery.
"With about twice the range added during 240V Level 2 charging sessions, the 2019 Volt's 7.2 kW system makes opportunity charging more worthwhile," explained Jesse Ortega, Chief Engineer, Chevrolet Electric Vehicles. "It effectively extends the vehicle's all-electric driving range, while providing about twice the range for the money when plugging in at public facilities that charge by the hour."
Charging & Capacities
With the new 7.2 kW system, a 240-volt outlet, and supporting hardware, a total recharge happens in just over two hours. The new system is standard on Premier trims but available for the LT. A 3.6 kW charger is standard on the Volt LT.
Chevy says the new electric propulsion system, combined with a full tank of gas and a full charge, offers an EPA-estimated 53 miles of pure EV range and 106 MPGe. When the Volt's battery runs low, a gas-powered generator activates to extend the driving range to a total of 420 miles on a full tank.
The 2019 Volt also utilizes an automatic, engine-assisted heating system for temperatures below zero to increase all-electric range. New Low and Regen on Demand profiles boost regenerative braking capability, according to Chevrolet.
Technology & Features
The Infotainment 3 system includes an 8-inch-diagonal color touchscreen with a new Energy App. The app's "Impacts Screen" shows how driving style, route, weather, and cabin settings affect range and conveys said impacts in terms of mileage.
A new Power Convenience Package, an extension of the Comfort Package, is available for the LT, adding a six-way power driver's seat. The wireless charging pad is relocated ahead of the shifter, while a new digital rearview camera replaces the previous analog system. Safety features include Adaptive Cruise Control and a pedestrian alert system.
"The 2019 Volt's enhancements give customers more of what they love with the vehicle and make it even more useful as an everyday electric vehicle," Ortega said. "It's a more seamless experience than ever."
Pricing & Availability
Chevrolet did not disclose pricing but says the 2019 Volt should arrive this fall. New color themes include a Pacific Blue Metallic for the exterior, and a Jet Black/Porcelain Blue for the Premier's interior. An available, dealer-installed blackout package includes sport pedals, black front/rear bowtie emblems, and 17-inch machined-aluminum wheels with black-painted pockets.
To date, Volt owners have driven more than 2.8 billion EV miles, saving more than 108 million gallons of gas.

Colt Technology Services is an organisation that focuses on the digital transformation of businesses through the deployment of its cloud-integration network, Colt IQ Network. It connects over 700 data centers around the world, with over 24,500 on-net buildings.
Colt announced that it has opened a point of presence (PoP) in Marseille.
This is a hub location for carriers and organisations looking for a high bandwidth connectivity gateway connecting Europe with Asia, Africa and the Middle East, due to the landing of several subsea cables from these regions in the city.
Colt says that the opening of this PoP in Marseille is a direct response to the customer demand for both point-to-point and geographically diverse high bandwidth transit between Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia Pacific.
The most recent are the two new cables: The Southeast Asia-Middle East-Western Europe 5 (Sea-Me-We-5) cable and the Asia-Africa-Europe 1 (AAE1) cable that connects Asia with Europe. This cable is terminated in Marseille.
"Our second Marseille PoP delivers on our customers' diverse and growing need for connectivity to an unparalleled selection of connected data centers and buildings," comments Tim Passingham, vice president, Wholesale at Colt.
Passingham says that Marseille is an important landing station for many key subsea cables and makes it a gateway to and from Africa, Middle East and Asia Pacific.
"With the recent landing of two new cables in the Marseille facility and the strong projected growth for internet traffic in the African, Middle East and Asian regions, Marseille will be an increasingly important strategic hub for our wholesale customers," Passingham continues.
Colt's second POP in Marseille is connected to their IQ Network using the existing Colt-owned metro fibre network.
Colt says that this enables quick interconnection from the submarine cables to the Colt 10/100G optical network and immediate access to 90 top European data centers in the first phase.
Furthermore, customers will have access to the Colt IQ Network, giving access to over 700 key data centers and more than 24,500 buildings worldwide. As well as this, it will give access to the long distance network (LDN) that connects Europe to key hubs in Asia, including Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore.
Colt recently announced that they had opened a Marseille node to directly address the demand for bandwidth transit between Europe and Asia-Pacific.

I'm a huge fan of Dave Sedaris. In his most recent book of essays he writes about his time living in Japan for three months. He aptly describes the way residents in his new, very foreign, neighborhood dress.
"Are the people wealthy? Middle class? A woman can wear a tattered dress over two pairs of pants, and it looks to me like Comme des Garcons, last season maybe, but still smart and expensive."
This description applies to my current situation living situation. As a full-blooded east coaster living in the alternate universe known as Berkeley, I am aghast and perplexed by the fashion, or lack of, I am subjected to daily. My friends and I play a game, homeless or hipster. We can never figure out whether the ill fitting clothes and raggedy shoes are the new "it" item. And since it's so endemic I'm not sure if I'm the one out of style.
So, where do I go when I wake up during the middle of the night in a cold sweat thanks to the fashion duress Berkeley puts me through daily? Manhattanite.com. Immediately I click on JetSetter to see what items I would wear en route to NYC when I have finally reached the last straw of fashion ridiculousness in the East Bay. Passport panties? Well. . .who said fashion had to be practical??
As soon as I sign on to Manhattanite.com I ignore the Shopping Bag total I have let accumulate. $1,000 worth of merchandise I have not yet "checked out". . .um, I' waiting for the right time. But instead of letting my grand total deter me from any further web surfing, I usually browse the Look Book to see what is up and coming or what I can buy (or could potentially buy if I had a better credit rating) on pre-sale, before it hits most boutique floors.
Most recently I found a favorite of Nicky Hilton and Hillary Duff; an adorable ruffle keyhole tank by Nu Collective . Won't find something that adorable between the homeless park I live next to, which, by the way, doesn't have a pool to wear a cute little Shoshanna bandeau bikini .
Buuuuut, fall is quickly approaching so bathing suits aren't the first thing on my list. A cute little vintage inspired bolero by Voom by Jon Han and patent pumps by Laura Brandon definitely are, however.
Before I know it, the sun is rising and my eyes are glazed over from staring at fun accessories (for women, babies and even puppies!) and I'm nodding off to sleep, dreaming of a more fashionable Berkeley courtesy of Manhattanite.com.

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) will conduct a basic orientation training program for total of 559 first-time governors and city and municipal mayors.
Outgoing Interior and Local Government Secretary Mel Senen Sarmiento said the 'Basic Orientation: The First 100 Days' is part of the long-running Newly-elected Officials (NEO) Program of the DILG through its training arm, the Local Government Academy (LGA) which is a term-based, comprehensive Capacity Development Program for local governments.
Sarmiento said the activity, which will be held throughout June and July 2016, is the Department's first response to the need of new local leaders for guidance to jumpstart their governance journey.
"With the aid of the very best practitioners in various aspects of governance, the DILG-LGA aims to invigorate the minds and passions of the participating local leaders in their first 100 days in office and beyond," he said.
By the end of the training, participants are expected to complete their First 100 Days Calendar and their respective development commitment agenda.
LGA Executive Director Marivel Sacendoncillo said the training orientation will maximize various learning methods such as interactive lectures, group discussions, problem solving and solution seeking sessions on thematic areas, and field visits for a more holistic learning experience.
Among the topics to be discussed are governance and decentralization, Duties Responsibilities and Accountabilities of elected local officials, strategic management, leadership, climate change and disaster management, local economic development, crisis management, and peace and order, among others.
"Through the NEO program, we aim to build strategic leaders who will guide their local governments in becoming competitive, efficient, and responsive leaders geared towards greater development," said Sacendoncillo.
She also assured that re-elected local officials, as well as local legislative officials, will not be left out as the DILG Regional and Field Officers will conduct similar skills development trainings corresponding to their learning needs. (PNA)

Alexandria, 641 A.D.
Jorge Luis Borges
Since the first Adam who beheld the night
And the day and the shape of his own hand,
Men have made up stories and have fixed
In stone, in metal, or on parchment
Whatever the world includes or dreams create.
Here is the fruit of their labor: the Library.
They say the wealth of volumes it contains
Outnumbers the stars or the grains
Of sand in the desert. The man
Who tried to read them all would lose
His mind and the use of his reckless eyes.
Here the great memory of the centuries
That were, the swords and the heroes,
The concise symbols of algebra,
The knowledge that fathoms the planets
Which govern destiny, the powers
Of herbs and talismanic carvings,
The verse in which love's caress endures,
The science that deciphers the solitary
Labyrinth of God, theology,
Alchemy which seeks to turn clay into gold
And all the symbols of idolatry.
The faithless say that if it were to burn,
History would burn with it. They are wrong.
Unceasing human work gave birth to this
Infinity of books. If of them all
Not even one remained, man would again
Beget each page and every line,
Each work and every love of Hercules,
And every teaching of every manuscript.
In the first century of the Muslim era,
I, that Omar who subdued the Persians
and who imposes Islam on the Earth,
Order my soldiers to destroy
By fire the abundant Library,
Which will not perish. All praise is due
To God who never sleeps and to Muhammad,
His Apostle.
Translated by Stephen Kessler

Dr. Prendergast detailed the goals and work of the EIT and its efforts to overcome the so-called European Innovation Paradox. He emphasized the importance of cooperation between education centers, research and industry as the key to future, sustainable innovation. As examples, Dr. Prendergast cited the role of the Knowledge Innovation Centers (KICs) on climate, industry, energy, raw material and health and listed the two new KCIs on active aging and healthy living. He also cited the successful public-private partnerships that Trinity College Dublin has had with creative industries and companies like Google, Twitter or Facebook and put a special focus on the idea of publicly funded innovations and R&D in the College's new strategic plan. Finally, Dr. Prendergast underlined ongoing projects at Trinity, such as the establishment of the New Trinity Business School which will be co-located with the Innovation and Entrepreneurship hub; the "LaunchBox" project, a business incubator for undergraduates; and "FoodCloud", a social enterprise spin-out.

7 Reasons to Honeymoon In Fiji at Matangi Private Island Resort
7 Reasons to Honeymoon in Matangi
7 Reasons to Honeymoon in Matangi
Couples luxuriate in remote Treehouses in the horseshoe-shaped island of Matangi
The horseshoe-shaped bay in Matangi Island has been listed as one of the "1,000 Places to See Before You Die," and what better place to spend your honeymoon, anniversary, or romantic getaway in than at Matangi Private Island Resort's little piece of paradise. The resort sits on a family-owned private island of 240 acres of tropical rain forest and white-sand beaches, surrounded by clear blue waters and brightly colored coral reefs.
Here are the top seven reasons you and your significant other should go on a honeymoon in Fiji at Matangi Island Resort.
- Memorable wake-up calls
We've had one of the most memorable experiences here in all of Fiji because of the staff. A fond memory was the wake-up call by Serelli, the concierge. He gently knocked on our bure door and called us by name. It was the sweetest, most genuine (and personalized) wake-up call we have ever experienced! And that's just the inherent nature of the Fijians—friendly and caring—it comes second nature to them.
- Waking up in a Treehouse
Picture waking up in a beautiful Treehouse Bure with the sound of the waves and the birds chirping in the lush jungle all around you. This is the authentic Fijian paradise that will top off your honeymoon with your significant other. Matangi has only three of this type accommodation, so book early.
The Treehouses are 850 square feet and have a private sundeck, an outdoor lava rock shower, an outdoor Jacuzzi, and most importantly, a daily supply of fresh baked cookies and French press coffee.
You can't go wrong with any room at Matangi as they all offer outdoor showers and gorgeous accommodations among the rain forest. Other accommodations include the Beachfront Bure, which has easy access to the beach, and the Oceanfront Bure, which offers a great water view; and there's even a 1,600-square-foot Two-Bedroom Bure at the end of the resort grounds for families or couples.
- Fijian cuisine blending breadfruit, taro, and coconut
Matangi's cuisine is South Pacific inspired, and effort is made by the chef to include tropical Fijian foods, such as tapioca, taro, breadfruit, Fijian spinach, coconut, fresh fish, and seafood. The Fijian lovo feast, where food is cooked underground using an earth oven, is offered once a week.
- Feeling the ocean breeze at Ocean Spa
Matangi's Ocean Spa opened in 2011. The ocean is reflected in the variety of treatments that they offer as well as in staying true to the traditional Fijian technique. The open-air setting in which you can choose to have a massage is just divine, and the Fijian Bobo massage is one of the best. The native massage, known as the Fijian Bobo, uses organic plants and marine therapies, in combination with the traditional Hands on Healing Massage. Other therapies include the Lava Shell massage, Hot Stone massage, Earth Sea Salt Body Glow, and Coconut Sugar Glow.
- Everything has a story
If you talk to the manager and the employees, you'll quickly learn how much care this local family put into this resort and the land. All of the bures were built from natural local materials, including bamboo, coconut palm thatch, and local hardwoods. Employees can tell you more about how certain designs in the wood were selected.
- Activities galore
Go snorkeling with colorful tropical fishes, lounge in hammocks under palms on the beach, or go kayaking around the lagoon. Have the resort organize a romantic picnic for two at the horseshoe bay, or get immersed in the Fijian culture with a visit to the local village.
Dive from Tavoro Falls on Taveuni Island or have a romantic candlelight dinner for two on the overwater deck or a gourmet dinner in the dining bure. There is so much do in and around this amazing resort!
- It's much more than paradise; it's the people
You have to experience the locals to truly understand. There's really no other way to describe their generosity and caring nature than to witness it yourself. We've had clients go back home in utter shock. They tell us that the first few days, they have their guard up (like Americans ten to do), and what's wrong with Fijians that they are so friendly? Are they just being nice because it's their job? Then after the guests settle in, they realize that it's just Fijians' nature, and it's part of their village's upbringing to be kind and nurturing to all who visit their homeland.
Trust us, you'll leave genuinely touched by the people.
Getting there
Matangi is an hour and 20-minute flight from Fiji's Nadi International Airport to the island of Taveuni. Upon arrival to Taveuni Island's Matei Airport, the car transfer will take you to a boat where you'll be transferred to Matangi Island.

The Kew Gardener revolves around the love and enjoyment of plants. This extends beyond selling them and creating beautiful gardens, into the natural world, where all these garden plants originated from. This natural world is under threat more than ever, but instead of bombarding you with doom and gloom statistics, which will turn you off, we are taking positive actions which we hope you will support and even get involved in. In the long term we will reverse these negative trends.
We are working with schools in Brazil to set up School Botanic Gardens – essential work in teaching the next generation the importance of plants and forests. Amazing Amazon Facts can be found here.
We are establishing projects to put forest back in the world, starting in The Amazon Rainforest with the Plant Amazon Project. We will acquire land or else work with landowners to restore the forest. Of course we can never get it back to what it was before it was felled, well not in our lifetimes, but we can start the process of recovery, which can be carried on by future generations. A fun way in which you can help support this is my entering our Design a Greetings Card for The Amazon Rainforest Competition
As part of this effort, we will work with local schools in Brazil to educate the children about the importance of plants, and why it is important to keep the forests standing. If you would like to get involved with these efforts please get in touch.

My favorite purse I've been carrying lately is one I purchased from Payless by designer Christian Siriano. If you go to his website, you'll see most of his purses are $100+ and $200+. So I think it's nice that he has an affordable line of shoes and handbags at Payless! I bought it back in October 2017, and I'm so in love with it! My mom liked it so much that she asked me to get her one for her birthday, so I purchased the black one for her. Keep reading to see my review and photos of my purse.
Disclosure: This is not a sponsored post. This post does, however, contain affiliate links, which means if you purchase that item through the links provided, I will receive a small commission. This does NOT make the item cost more to you. Thank you so much!
About the Purse
The name of this purse is "Jessie Dome Satchel" by Christian Siriano in the color "Cognac." I really like this purse because it goes with every outfit since it's a neutral color. This purse also comes in black, but I lean toward neutrals and pinks when I buy purses, so I got this color.
When I purchased it, I think I paid around $30. I had also used a coupon code. Usually the coupon codes are posted on their website, but if you sign up for their email list (which I'm signed up for), they will email you exclusive codes and sales.
As of today (Jan. 7th), this purse (both colors) is on sale for $19.99! You can purchase it here: Women's Jessie Dome Satchel.
Update: As of March 8th, it seems this purse is sold out at the moment. Scroll down to see similar purses available.
Purse Depth
This purse isn't huge, but there's enough room for my wallet, phone, keys, brush, and a makeup bag (see photo below). The website states the dimensions are "approximately 9″HX12″WX5″D." If you're a person who carries A LOT of stuff, you may want to look into getting one of the bigger bags on the site, such as the Women's Jessa Dome Satchel. (Or you can purchase that bag on Amazon.)
Other Features
I use the zipped pocket in the front for holding hand sanitizer and ink pens, so they don't accidentally spill onto the other stuff in my bag.
Inside the bag is two pockets and a zipped pocket.
It also comes with a long strap that can be attached to the side if you want to wear it on your shoulder or across your body.
I've purchased Christian Siriano handbags before, and they always last a long time. I've had this one since Oct. 2017, and I also still have another one I purchased back in March 2016 (seen in this blog post).
Purchase this affordable designer bag here: Women's Jessie Dome Satchel

Voice Commands Distract Drivers Half A Minute
Drivers can remain distracted for up to 27 seconds after using voice commands on their phones or in-vehicle infotainment systems, research conducted for the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found.
In a study released on Wednesday, researchers tested voice-activated systems in ten 2015 model year vehicles on 257 drivers and three smartphone systems on 65 drivers. They found that each one increased mental distractions and can have residual effects for seconds after the driver has stopped talking.
Of the vehicles tested, the Chevrolet Equinox performed the best while the Mazda6 was found to be the most distracting.
Each hands-free system was rated on a mental distraction scale between 1 and 5, with 5 being the most dangerous. AAA said Category 1 distractions are at the same level as listening to the radio, while Category 5 is equal to taking a challenging test while driving. A rating at or above Category 2, which is the equivalent of talking on the phone, is considered potentially dangerous by AAA.

My Game of Thrones Addiction
"Literary fiction" and the classics have always been my love. I don't have anything against science fiction, fantasy, speculative fiction or any other genre, I just hadn't read much of them.
Suddenly, everything changed...
Yes, I discovered George R.R.Martin's series, A Song of Ice and Fire, best known by the title popularized by the HBO Series, Game of Thrones.
Beginning with the first book, Game of Thrones, I picked up the series on the recommendation of my daughter's boyfriend. I was immediately addicted.
Here are the books I've completed in the series:
Game of Thrones (720 pages)
A Clash of Kings (784 pages)
A Storm of Swords (1008 pages)
A Feast for Crows (978 pages)
That's a total of 3500 pages. And the series isn't even complete.
A Dance with Dragons is next, and then I'm like all the other George R.R. Martin fans, waiting for the man to finish writing this series....
What series has you hooked?

WASHINGTON, D.C., April 15, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The pro-life leaders behind Friday's wildly successful Gosnell "Tweetfest," are hoping to ride the wave of momentum with a second social media event this Wednesday.
But this time, said Bryan Kemper, one of the three main organizers of the event, they're encouraging pro-lifers to blanket all social media sites with info about Gosnell, and not just Twitter.
"We're thinking about calling it something like a Tweet/Instragram/Tumblr/Facebook fest," he said.
(Find a Facebook "event" page for Wednesday's Tweetfest here)
On Friday tens of thousands of pro-lifers took to Twitter, where they posted nearly 170,000 tweets about abortionist Kermit Gosnell in the space of 12 hours.
The deluge of social media attention resulted in a spate of coverage from mainstream media networks, who until Friday had almost uniformly ignored the trial of the notorious abortionist.
Click "like" if you are PRO-LIFE!
In several cases, journalists for mainstream media outlets even issued "mea culpas," admitting that they should have covered the story earlier.
Even organizers of Friday's pro-life social media event were completely unprepared for the response. It "was so much bigger than we ever thought," said Kemper. "It was huge."
Kemper credited the fact that so many diverse pro-life groups and individuals united together to make the event a success. As well, he said, frustration with the media's silence on the trial had reached a boiling point.
"But what we want to do is to lay out a plan to continue with the momentum," he said.
While Friday's event focused on exposing the media blackout, Wednesday's social media event will focus on exposing who Kermit Gosnell is.
The goal, said Kemper is "to just show the world what a nightmare this guy was and this clinic was."
As part of the effort, today the organizers of the Tweetfest Round 2 launched a new website at WhoIsGosnell.com.
The website includes background info about Gosnell, including a link to the Grand Jury report, which includes over 250 pages of information and testimony about the horrific "abortion" practices and conditions in Gosnell's "House of Horrors" clinic.
Gosnell stands accused of murdering seven newborn infants by "snipping" their spinal cords. However, his staff have testified that "hundreds" of living babies, many of them post-viability, were killed in this way by Gosnell and other workers at the clinic.
Organizers have also launched a Facebook "event" page, where people can invite their friends to join the Tweetfest. The page includes a number of prepared "tweets" that users can simply cut and paste into their Twitter accounts.
"We are going to make 'new media' work on behalf of Kermit Gosnell's innocent, helpless victims," say the organizers on the FB page.
"Abortion brutally kills preborn children and exploits women. The Gosnell case busts open the lie of 'safe legal & rare' abortion."

CHICAGO (AP) — The Rev. Jesse Jackson has been transferred to a hospital focused on physical rehabilitation after receiving treatment for a breakthrough COVID-19 infection while his wife, Jacqueline, has been moved to an intensive care unit, according to a family statement released Friday.
Jonathan Jackson, one of the couple's five children, said that his father's COVID-19 symptoms are abating.
Jackson has Parkinson's disease and Jonathan Jackson said he will receive "intensive physical and occupational therapy" at The Shirley Ryan AbilityLab in Chicago.
Jacqueline Jackson is not on a ventilator but is receiving increased oxygen in the ICU at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Jonathan Jackson said.
"Both of our parents are continuing to receive excellent medical care," he said. "We urge that you continue to keep them in your prayers because we know this is a serious disease."
Jesse Jackson is 79, and Jacqueline is 77. They were admitted to the hospital on Saturday.
Jackson, a famed civil rights leader and former presidential candidate, is vaccinated against the virus. He received his first dose during a publicized event where he urged others to receive the vaccine too.
Jackson told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Jacqueline, also a civil rights activist, has not been vaccinated. He said his wife didn't get vaccinated because she has a "preexisting condition" they were worried about. He did not elaborate.
Generally, public health experts strongly encourage people with existing health conditions, such as cancer or diabetes, to get vaccinated as they are at increased risk for severe illness.
Family members have said the Jacksons were admitted to the hospital in part because of their age and that both have been responding positively to treatment. They have been married nearly 60 years.

Before the YouTube personality existed, there was JenniCam. Jennifer is a true Internet personality, even before the term was used extensively. The project JenniCam offers viewers uninhibited views into Jennifer's private world. In Steve Dixon's essay on webcams as surveillance, he defines the webcam as a kind of "documentary realism" which is very relevant to what Jennifer is doing with her webcam. This realism involves uncensored views into her world, capturing footages that ranges from the mundane to the sexual. Raw footages like this are unedited and shared publicly with an unknown audience.
JenniCam is an important example that illustrates this idea of vulnerability and authenticity expressed in Annie Abraham's essay:
"In a society where authenticity and privacy become endangered it is important to find ways to access our vulnerabilities and doubts, to make them public, to cherish our messy side. We need to make space for the beast in the beauty, to go back to reality, to claim the human. "We need to trap reality in order to make it available for thought."
Indeed, the JenniCam archives must be quite an interesting collection of personal history for Jennifer. Her willingness to be so open in capturing herself in moments that are usually very awkward for most of us to face (like pleasuring herself sexually, or not having makeup on the face, looking extremely messy and plain sometimes) is a daring move in attempting to record her daily life down to these raw and vulnerable details. This authenticity also gives the JenniCam project a sort of endearing quality even, in the realm of Internet personalities and virtual fame. I would like to illustrate this point by referring to the idea of webcam falsities and fictions. JenniCam begin merely as a form of communication between Jennifer and her mother, so her mother could see what she was up to in her dorm at school. Jennifer's deadpan honesty about the practical use of her webcam and her declaration of not being "an entertainer" gives the project a very real and human quality that sets her apart from many webcam/virtual personalities that soon follow after her.

Disaster Restoration & Cleanup FAQs
San Diego disaster restoration is a complex business. We know all the ins and outs. Feel free to read through our FAQs to learn more about water damage restoration, water removal, mold removal, fire damage cleanup, and more.
My property is flooded. What should I do first?
Time is of the utmost importance. Call Abbotts immediately so we can get to your property and start the process of removing the water and restoring it right away. By acting fast, you'll minimize the damage to your property and prevent further problems, including mold infestation.
What are some common hazards associated with water leaks and flooding?
- Electrical hazards
- Gas leaks
- Chemical and biological contaminants in flood water and its residue
- Potentially toxic concentrations of mold and its spores
- Structural weakening in saturated building materials
What should I do to stop water damage while waiting for Abbotts?
- Find the source of the water and stop it, if possible
- Turn off the main circuit breakers to the structure. Do not operate electrical equipment in wet areas
- If safe, remove furnishings from wet carpet to avoid staining
- Remove breakable items and items that are susceptible to water damage
- Remove or lift curtains and other hanging items that touch the floor to avoid damage and staining
- Do not run fans or air conditioning if the damage is caused by flooding or a sewage leak – doing so can spread contamination
- Open doors and windows to allow air into the structure
- Make sure you thoroughly wash your hands and disinfect tools and equipment used in water damage cleanup
Is mold dangerous?
Yes, it absolutely can be. The Centers for Disease Control and other health agencies warn that mold spores can pose serious health risks for people with breathing problems. In addition, certain types of mold - including black mold (stachybotrys chartarum) - can cause adverse effects even in healthy people.
What should I do if I think I have a mold infestation?
Don't attempt to clean or mitigate the affected area, as you can unknowingly spread mold spores to other parts of the structure and worsen the infestation. Contact a trained mold remediation specialist who will conduct a visual inspection and other tests to assess the problem.
When the extent of the infestation is assessed, your mold remediation specialist will recommend a plan to remove the mold and prevent its return.
If inspection and testing reveal a mold infestation, what's next?
In the event of a confirmed infestation, your mold remediation expert will devise a plan to remove the mold and ensure that it doesn't return. The plan may include removal of material that's infested with mold, or the use of mold sealant and/or antifungal disinfectants.
What is water damage restoration?
Water damage restoration is the remediation process of losses caused by water damage, flooding, and other types of water intrusion that may cause destruction to a home or business.
What are some of the main water damage causes in San Diego?
- Leaking dishwasher
- Overflowing washing machines

Intel Atom gets updated in September
Intel Atom has been around for a while and, in case you bought the rumors saying that Intel wants to scrap this brand, you have to take a closer look at its developer forum in San Francisco. This event will take place between 10 and 12 September, the release of the Bay Trail-T chip being expected on the 11th.
According to VR-Zone, the Intel Atom family will be joined by four quad-core models, namely the Z3770, Z3770D, Z3740 and Z3740D. All are 22 nm chips and feature 2 MB of level 2 cache, but there are also a few differences between them.
The Z3770 is a processor that runs at speeds up to 2.4 GHz and supports up to 4 GB of dual channel LPDDR3 1067 memory which offers a bandwidth of 17.1 GB/s. The Z3770D has the same clock speed, but only supports 2 GB of single channel DDR3L-RS 1333 memory, the bandwidth available falling to only 10.6 GB/s.
The Z3740 can clock as high as 1.8 GHz and supports up to 4 GB of dual channel LPDDR3 1067, while the Z3740D has the same clock speed, but only supports 2 GB of single channel DDR3L-RS 1333 memory.
All these new members of the Intel Atom family will feature Intel HD graphics IGPs. The minimum resolution supported is 1333X768 pixels, but the maximum depends on the chip. The "D" processors will support 2560X1600 pixels, while the "regular" ones will only go up to 1920X1200.
We expect to hear more on these mobile processors in the very near future.

The presidential election is sucking up everyone's attention, but make no mistake: Control of the next United States Senate remains very much in doubt.
Democrats currently have a 57 percent chance of winning a Senate majority according to our polls-plus forecast and a 56 percent chance in polls-only. Those numbers have been fairly consistent since the conventions. In our polls-plus forecast, for instance, Democratic chances have never dropped below 52 percent and have never risen above 73 percent.other major forecasts also have Democrats with between about a 55 percent and 70 percent chance of taking the Senate.">1
To control the Senate, the Democrats need a net gain of four seats (they hold 46 seats now) if Hillary Clinton wins the presidency or five seats if Donald Trump wins. Right now, they have at least a 75 percent chance of winning currently Republican seats in Illinois and Wisconsin. The bigger question is whether they can win any three of the following seven seats: Florida, Indiana, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.
Sen. Marco Rubio has a decent lead in Florida — a shade over 4 percentage points in our polls-plus forecast. But those other six states feature super close races, and — not coincidentally — all seven top our tipping-point rankings, which measure each state's chances of deciding Senate control. With the exception of Missouri, where we haven't had a poll since mid-September, polls released over the past week haven't consistently shown a clear advantage for any candidate in those six tight races. Here, for example, are all the Senate polls we've gotten since Monday:
When you put all the polls together, no candidate leads by more than 3 percentage points in these six states, according to our polls-plus forecast. Democrats hold a small advantage in Indiana, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania, while Republicans retain a slight edge in Missouri, Nevada and North Carolina.2 In five of these races,3 at least one poll released since the beginning of September shows the Democratic candidate ahead and at least one shows the Republican candidate ahead. No candidate has better than 2-to-1 odds in any of these races, according to our polls-plus forecast.
Of course, it's possible we'll wake up on Nov. 9 and find that one party swept all these close races. That has happened before, including in 2014, when Republicans beat their polls in virtually every battleground state. So if there is a polling error in one of these states, we'd be more likely to expect an error in that direction across the board. It's quite possible, therefore, that Democrats will win all six of these tight races plus the two in which they have significant leads and end up with a net gain of seven seats.4 Indeed, about 20 percent of the time in our polls-plus simulations, Democrats net a gain of at least seven seats in the Senate. The reverse is also possible; we have Democrats netting two seats or fewer nearly 25 percent of the time.
This year, however, could be different. If you look at the races where the polls are really close, the states that are up for grabs are pretty dissimilar. You have a New England state in New Hampshire, a Mid-Atlantic state in Pennsylvania, a Rust Belt state in Indiana, a Southern state in North Carolina, a sort-of-Midwestern state in Missouri, and a western state in Nevada. You have a state with a lot of black voters in North Carolina, a state with a lot of Latino voters in Nevada, and a state with a lot of white voters in New Hampshire. Of this group of states, New Hampshire is the whitest (which helps the Republican), but its white voters are the most likely to have a college degree (which helps the Democrat). Nevada is the most diverse state, but its white voters are the least least likely to have a degree. And white voters with and without a college degree are voting very differently at the top of the ticket. The point is that we shouldn't necessarily expect these states to move together in the final month of the campaign.
For now, the safest thing to say is that the race for the Senate remains tight. Democrats hold a slight advantage, but it's only slight.

U.S. Ambassador to Canada Bruce A. Heyman issued the following statement regarding today's announcement of Canada's contributions to the Counter-Da'esh Coalition:
"I was pleased to hear Canada's announcement today of additional, significant contributions to the Counter-Da'esh Coalition. As a founding member of the Coalition, Canada has been a valued and willing partner in the mission to degrade and destroy Da'esh and has played an important role across all lines of effort.
"The commitments that Prime Minister Trudeau and his cabinet ministers announced today are in line with the Coalition's current needs, including tripling Canada's training mission in Northern Iraq and increasing its intelligence efforts throughout the region. They also include new humanitarian and development assistance contributions to aid Syrians fleeing violence in the region and neighboring countries providing sanctuary to several million refugees.
"Canada remains an essential partner in the Counter-Da'esh mission and we will continue to discuss with all Coalition partners additional ways to intensify our efforts. The United States, Canada, and the rest of our Coalition partners remain unwavering in our commitment to degrade—and ultimately destroy— Da'esh and we look forward to continuing that mission together."

my.to.do-oodles are a collection of books for sketching, notes, lists, reminders. Each book is UNIQUE and individually made, with hand sewn pages and hand decorated cover papers.
Why are they UNIQUE…. each cover is hand decorated and as you'll see from the techniques I use, no pattern can ever be the same, quite often you don't know how it will turn out till it's dry:
- Marbling – floating paint on water, moving the paint to create a pattern, then laying on a piece of paper which takes up the design.
- Paste – covering paper with gloopy clear paste (can even be wall paper paste), then adding acrylic colour and making patterns.
- Momigami – covering paper with another gloopy paste and scrunching it up, over and over again until it becomes soft and amazingly strong, then I iron it. Sometimes I add colour.
These a very simplified explanations, however there are plenty of great YouTube videos around, one day I'll do my own. None are rocket science, even a kid can do them. They can be messy so if you want to have a go, cover everything in sight beforehand!!
