On Thursday 13th February 2014 a group of 18 brave men from the financial world gathered at the Park Lane Intercontinental Hotel, to compete in the white collar boxing tournament – "Credit Punch III". This is the third annual "Credit Punch" event, from which money raised has been generously donated to Small Steps. We are hugely grateful to Richard O'Dwyer, friend and supporter of Small Steps, who both organised the event and boxed on the night. A big thank you also to the 17 other fighters, who courageously took to the boxing ring, all for a very good cause!
Last year's event raised £17,000 for Small Steps and Richard is hopeful that this year they will have raised even more. These funds will enable Small Steps to employ another Conductor Teacher, and in turn, enable us to help many more families. A big Small Steps cheer to all who helped make this event possible!

The infiltration of the Internet into modern life changed everything from how we communicate to how we shop to how we learn information.
The forthcoming permeation of robots into our world of the future will cause an even more significant change in modern life and business than the Internet already has, according to a prominent roboticist.
"I happen to believe that robotics will be bigger than the Internet," says Marc Raibert, the CEO and founder of robotics company Boston Dynamics.


text: This episode was uh...not bad. Pretty enjoyable actually. Scully's dad is creepy and dead Scully's dad is even creepier. Scully watching infomercials...and I've seen that one. Spray on hair. That is so stupid did anybody actually buy that? Completely unrelated note I saw a commerical for Chicken Pot Pie and Larry Bird was in it. He's old. When did Larry Bird get old? It's kinda sad. He can still shoot a basket though and I suppose that's what counts. What? This has nothing to do with the X-Files. Well...no. I like Larry Bird though. The two teens making out in the car? They kept saying they wished Jim was there. Er...why? Do they need to have a threesome? That'd be fun. Oh speaking of which, kids don't get out of a car unless you can see Mr Police Dude's badge. Better safe then beaten with wire hangers. That said, say it with me class NO MORE WIRE HANGERS! Okay I love Baggs. I shouldn't cause he's creepy and a psycho but he's just so much damn fun! He's the psychic psycho! He killed his family and then finished watching the game. Fun. I like seeing Mulder being the skeptical one though at the end he baffled me. All of a sudden he's all like 'why can't you believe Scully?' Er...uh...what?? The ending rather sucked, Baggs dies and that was bad and Scully didn't get her father's message and that was bad. Bad ending. Oh and the answer "He was your father" is not an answer. I mean what the hell does that mean?? Contributing genetic material is not a preresquite for being proud. Mulder is represented by the blood stained white cross. Interesting. The weird thing is Mulder gets shot and I didn't even really react. It took my brain a full minute to scrounge up an 'oh no' Even if Baggs was right about the waterfall that's not a waterfall I did appreciate Mulder's little gotcha. It was cool. So this episode was good. Creepy, a little funny, some danger, uncertainy...all in all fun. Not a great ep but fun.

I played my first games of Deadzone last week. Deadzone is Mantic's Sci Fi skirmish game (like Necromunda, but heaps different). It was a lot of fun. The rules did not take long to pick up, and I was confident enough to write my own list. Rounds take between 30-60 minutes, you could easily slot 3 games in an evening. Not a lot to argue over in the rules, and the lists are all in the one book so it won't take long to get familiar with whatever you might be facing.
I really like this game, and I think it will be my next project after the big Kings of War tournament I'm attending at the end of January. If you are after a miniatures skirmish game with a low barrier to entry, quick, entertaining matches, but with enough depth to keep things interesting, check it out. Decent sculpts too. The Forge Fathers and Veer-Myn especially look great.
Anyway, on to my report.
My list: Veer-Myn 150 points
Progenitor with Chem Thrower. My leader unit with a quite rubbish flame-thrower. The plan was to keep this guy as safe as possible, I hate that such a fragile unit is worth so many points. Next time I'll definitely change this guy up. His Chem thrower is fine when he uses it, but if I'm that close to the enemy I'm fighting them in melee. I'll try and give him the Grenade thrower next time. The Broodmother is a cool model but she seems to have an absolutely useless special rule and just not fit well with the rest of the army.
2 x Crawlers with Frag Grenades. Very rubbish marksmen with crappy rifles and very useful grenades. The idea of these guys was to use Fire for Effect to pin enemies, so I could get the extra dice in melee. But they are rubbish at shooting! It was nice having them as slightly-more-reliable Grenade chuckers. But next time I'll swap them out for Malignusi with rifles. If my progenitor has the grenade thrower I can afford to drop the frags from these guys and just use them to Fire for Effect.
8 x Stalkers. Fast moving rats with knives. These guys are the bomb. Fast and cheap. A couple of them can take down most enemies if given enough support. They melt to ranged fire though, so expect to lose most of them each battle. I ran them in two packs of 4. It's very important to keep them out of enemy LOS at all times.
Team tactics: Use Fire for Effect or grenades to pin enemies then charge them in melee. Repeat until enemy is dead or I run out of grenades/bodies to throw into melee. In practice the grenades were great, but Fire for Effect was less so (from the Crawlers anyway). 6+ shooting just isn't reliable enough. Will try the tactic with the 5+ Malignusi before I make a call on it.
Game 1 vs Enforcers
His list was like 6 enforcers, a couple with rocket launchers, one with the combat blade thingy.
Scenario: Breakout
The scenario suited me to a tee. His list had a lot of points sunk in AP weapons, while none of his units had any more than 1 Armour.
He took up firing positions along the buildings just outside his deployment zone. I moved up as far as I could, taking some risks as I did so. The first couple of activations went rough for me, with his superior shooting picking off the rats that were foolish enough to not be completely out of LOS.
But my plan began to work in the mid game as my stalkers were able to sprint and catch some of his Enforcers who were uncovered by allies. If I make sure the enemy is pinned before I charge, it's my 5 dice hitting on 4s vs his 3 dice hitting on 4s (if he attempts to Survive rather than Fight). Them's good odds. If he survives the first charge, I almost always had another Stalker ready to go in to the same combat, same odds.
But the key turning point of the game came down to sheer luck. He had moved two of his Heavies on top of a platform with an almost crippling field of fire. I couldn't close on them without losing at least 4 rats in the process, and I had already lost 4. You can see them in the picture above, up the top left.
But one of my rats managed to pop a crate and find a smoke grenade inside. He pegged it at the heavies and covered them in smoke. Then they had the choice of staying where they were but being unable to fire, or moving and still being unable to fire.
Losing ~half of his firepower at that point was crippling for him, and I was able to safely flood across the gap and mix it up in melee. I had a hard time with his combat enforcer, but the rest I was able to gang up on and stab stab, and then run off the board.
Luck played a large role in the outcome of this game, but I think my opponent's critical mistake was placing units in positions where they were isolated, not covered by friendlies. This meant I was able to charge 2-3 stalkers into melee and take down the isolated unit, and then skitter off into cover before the counter-attack came. In the situations where his forward elements were covered, I had a much harder time of it. I took down the exposed unit, sure, but then the stalkers themselves were killed in turn. I can afford to lose ~1.5 rats per enemy killed. I can't have too many fights that cost me 2-3 rats.
Game 2 vs Rebels
His List:
Yndij Infiltrator Commander
3 x Rebel Trooper
Rebel Yndij
Sphyr Loader
Judwan Medic
Rebel Grogan
Rebel Teraton
Rin Nomad
Rebel Specialist with Missile Launcher
Second game was against an interesting Rebel list. A mix of all sorts of stuff. I was immediately worried about his Teraton. I had ~no~ idea how I was going to get through its armour, with no AP at all.
We played the scenario with the VP tokens. The 2VP token was in the open, in the middle of the board in an open square with very little cover. He chose his side, and deployed all along his edge, clearly aiming to take advantage of the high ground and cover just outside.
I deployed in tight packs, crammed into the squares that he had no LOS to.
Early on he used command dice to charge his Teraton forward, sitting him on the 2 VP token. His plan obviously was to take control of the important centre location early, and move the rest of his squad up behind.
I had one plan to beat the Teraton, and I had to try it before any of his support arrived. I ran one of my shooter rats up a building and had him peg his grenade at the teraton. Fortunately the blast threw the Teraton towards my side of the map. This put the pinned Teraton within charge range of my 8 stalkers. My progenitor moved next, hitting the teraton with his chem-thrower. The 1 AP and a good roll were critical in doing 1 wound to the Teraton. Then one by one I sent stalkers charging into the square. They got extra dice for charging, for having allies in the same square, and for the victim being wounded. He got extra dice for being huge and he was a good fighter. It took a round of shooting, 4 charges and one extra fight dice but the teraton eventually fell to the knives of the stalkers.
That was huge. I was also able to get 2 of the 4 stalkers out of the square alive, as Glen had no way to bring his serious guns to bear on it. They mostly fled into the long building, or the basement of that central tower. In those rooms they were safe from all ranged attacks (no LOS with the holes in the walls being so high up), and Glen did not have any weapons that would have really helped (like grenades, flamers, or blasters). He tried sending a couple of guys on suicide missions, charging into melee in the dark rooms full of rats with knives. Yikes.
From there it was just a matter of waiting patiently for him to move his units into vulnerable positions and then striking with the stalkers I had stashed in the central buildings. I was tempted to try and park units on the VP tokens, but they were all exposed to the Rebels' fire, so I just waited. I had my remaining Crawler on top of the central tower taking a couple of pot-shots at his dudes each turn, so I could afford to sit tight. He had no choice but to move up and try and counterattack, and I was able to just pick him off one by one. I got very lucky with my survive rolls in the later phase of the game, with one of my stalkers managing to survive being shot at from above, while completely in the open. But even if all my rats who were shot at had died, I had so many I could afford the losses.
The key turning point of the game was Glen moving his Teraton up early, without adequate fire cover or support. If his Grogan had a decent fire lane down that centre alley, or if the Medic had been close enough to do her thing, things would have been very different. If Glen had taken another big gribbly, or my grenade had thrown the teraton the other direction, the game would have gone very differently (although I did have 2 grenades).
But overall I'm really happy with the way the Veer-Myn played. I reckon they will be my primary faction, although I'll be painting up a squad of Forge Father Steel Warriors first.

Research on longevity has found that nutritional supplements can help slow down the process of aging in humans and animals as well. When you combine antioxidants and essential food nutrients in a diet, they produce an effect, which is more than their known benefits. How your dog lives depends on the lifestyle and the genetic makeup.
A middle-aged dog is very fast in whatever it does. If you see your dog been too slow it may imply that it's getting old.
Dog's age three times faster than humans do. Some major changes in the state of his health can occur in a very short expanse of time. They are puppies in their first year; adults, at two to six; and seniors, at seven. Larger dog's age even much faster. Great Danes, for example, are already oldies when they are five years old. The signs of aging can be seen between the ages two and six.
According to experts, aging is the process by which the body is not able to repair itself as fast as the damage is being done. This, they say, is aging.
These changes occur due to the oxidation caused by free radicals. Free radicals are toxic, electrically unstable molecules that are produced by the body's metabolism. As aging occurs, it is produced much more frequently.
Free radicals damage your pet's body the same way that rust is caused by the presence of oxygen. They damage your dog's genetic materials – his DNA, RNA, cell membranes, and enzymatic systems. They are produced when pets breathe; are exposed to toxic materials in the environment such as pollutions, heavy metals, and stressful conditions; diets and drugs such as antibiotics; and exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays.
The degenerative effects of aging cause your pet's immune system to weaken and is the leading cause of the top fatal diseases such as heart diseases, cancer, arthritis, cataracts, premature aging, and diabetes.
Your length of life and your dog is greatly affected how fast these free radicals cause these changes in the body. You must, therefore, try to give your dog a balanced diet and additional supplements to augment it and slow down the process of aging.

May I have your permission to present to the House
the Revised Estimates for the year 1995-96 and the Budget Estimates
for the year 1996-97.
2. Let me , Sir, at the outset, submit that the Budget
Estimates for the year 1996-97 which I propose to present are interim
in nature. Honourable Members know that our budget is heavily dependent
on the flow of resources from the Centre. As much as 93 percent of
our budget is sustained by the Central support. Because of the ensuing
general elections in the country, the Central Government has deferred
finalisation of the Plan outlay and the Central support for 1996-97.
As such, there is no clear picture available about the quantum of
funds from the Centre. Further, the Planning Commission has also not
yet finalized the State Plans. Under the circumstances, it is not
possible to project expenditure levels of the next year in a realistic
3. The current year has been a year of some achievements
and some sacrifices. The Planning Commission, after fixing the Plan
outlay at Rs.227 crore, allocated additional assistance to the tune
of Rs.22 crore, consisting of Rs.10 crore for the Capital Project,
Rs.8 crore for the Indo-Myanmar trade and Rs.4 crore for the State
University. Thus, the total size of the State Plan rose to Rs.249
crore with the Central support as high as Rs.283 crore. This has been
a unique achievement and while we congratulate ourselves for it, we
also owe our gratitude to the Planning Commission for their generous
allocation to take care of our development needs.
4. In my speech last year, I had mentioned about
our undertaking given to the Planning Commission to raise additional
resources of Rs.20.61 crore towards funding the Plan in the current
year. I take pleasure to inform the Honourable Members that we have
acquitted ourselves creditably by fulfilling this undertaking. In
this connection, I would like to draw the attention of the Honorable
Members to the active deliberation of the Mizoram Resources Mobilisation
and Taxation Enquiry Committee under the Chairmanship of the Chief
Secretary which has held three sittings during the current year and
gave useful and far-reaching recommendations to help raise additional
resources to fund our Plan.Some of these recommendations like revision
of bus fares and rates of profession tax, extension of passenger tax
to taxis, introduction of tax on cable T.V. operators and imposition
of composite tax/fee on tourist buses and taxis have already been
implemented, which have brought an additional revenue to the tune
of Rs.55 lakhs. The Government has also decided to introduce in the
State the system of use of Revenue Stamp of Re 1 on all payments of
Rs.500 and above. The modalities are being worked out.
5. I made a mention about sacrifices. As part of
our efforts to raise resources, we were committed to impound D.A.
increases and Interim Relief of Government employees. But for the
unstinted cooperation extended by employees in agreeing to the scheme
of impounding crediting to their respective GPF accounts, we could
have faced financial problems. Sir, I would like to make an earnest
appeal to the Honourable Members to join me in conveying our sincere
thanks to our employees for this sacrifice in the face of mounting
pressures on their personal budget.
6. Sir, my heart bleeds when I talk of the Chhimtuipui
disaster that struck last year. It is said that the strength of the
people is really seen in adversity and how they cope with it. It goes
to the credit of the people that they bore the brunt stoically despite
huge losses to lives and property. In any adversity like this, availability
of funds to restore the damaged property and rebuild the economy is
always limited and the task is daunting. Besides releasing Rs.1.20
crore from the Calamity Relief Fund, saving from the budget also enabled
releasing an additional amount of Rs.2.36 crore for restoration work.
Our appeal to Government of India resulted in further assistance of
Rs.4.71 crore. We have also received generous financial help to the
tune of Rs.35.13 lakhs from private and voluntary agencies like Churches,
non-government organizations (NGOs) and individuals and we are beholden
to them for this wonderful gesture. At this juncture, I would like
to take the opportunity to thank our Honourable Prime Minister for
this generous cash assistance to the tune of Rs.50,000 to each of
the bereaved families who lost their kith and kin in the tragedy.
I once again salute the brave hearts of our people and the sacrifices
they had to make under the circumstances.
7. In my last speech I made a mention of the Tenth
Finance Commission. I take pleasure to inform the Honourable Members
that the per capita transfer of resources to Mizoram under the recommendations
of the Tenth Finance Commission is the highest among the States. The
total devolution recommended by the Commission to Mizoram for the
period 1995-2000 is Rs.1802.01 crore Rs.1398.37 crore by way of
tax-shares and Rs.403.64 crore by way of grants-in-aid representing
a step-up of 76.5 percent over the recommendations of the Ninth Finance
Commission for the preceding five-year period 1990-95. Apart from
the revenue gap grants of Rs.331.19 crore, the other grants include
Rs.57 crore for the development of Lengpui Airport, Rs.2.82 crore
for Police housing, Rs.4.31 crore for upgradation of some selected
services, Rs.3.32 crore for improvement of local (rural and urban)
administration and Rs.5 crore as contribution towards the Calamity
Relief Fund. The special grants-in-aid of Rs.57 crore for the Lengpui
Airport was in addition of Rs.20 crore allocated earlier by the Planning
Commission for the two years 1994-95 and 1995-96. Another notable
feature of the report of Tenth Finance Commission is that Mizoram,
for the first time, came to have a share, though small, out of the
grants-in-aid earmarked for distribution to States by way of compensation
in lieu of the repealed tax on the railway passenger fares. This was
in recognition of a stretch of railway-line entering the State upto
8. I mentioned that the total size of the State Plan
in the current year is Rs.249 crore with Central support being Rs.283
crore. On present indications, we are expected to spend Rs.234 crore
only in the current year. The shortfall of Rs.15 crore is under the
externally-aided projects. We have approached Overseas Economic Cooperation
Fund (OECF) of Japan through the Government of India, for assistance
for the Tuirial Hydel Project and a fact-finding team is likely to
visit the State early next year. In addition to the State Plan, the
expenditure on Centrally Sponsored Schemes is estimated at Rs.57.55
crore and on N.E.C.Schemes at Rs.16.13 crore. An extra outlay of Rs.8.05
crore is on schemes funded by the Rural Electrification Corporation
and the Power Finance Corporation. For the next year, we have, as
directed by the Planning Commission, tentatively assumed the outlay
on the Plan at the same level as the normal Plan in the current year.
The Plan expected to be finalized by the Planning Commission after
general elections will be reflected only in the regular budget for
1996-97 to be presented later.
9. With an overall surplus of Rs.4.67 crore during
1994-95, the current year (1995-96) opened with a deficit of Rs.27.25
crore. The Revised Estimates framed now for 1995-96 reveal a closing
deficit of Rs.41.21 crore. Though there is an deterioration of resources
to the tune of Rs.18.63 crore over the last year, bulk of this deterioration
was only technical in nature in the sense that the expenditure corresponding
to the assistance of Rs.14.96 crore received at the fag end of the
last year for payment of rental charges to those whose property was
utilized by the security forces during the counter-insurgency operations,
had to be provided in the Revised Estimates for the current year.
10. From the receipts angle , the current year proved
quite difficult. For this year (1995-96), the Tenth Finance Commission
had estimated a deficit of Rs.293.78 crore in the Mizorams non-Plan
Revenue Account. To cover the same fully, they assumed devolution
of Rs.146.53 crore by way of tax-shares and recommended general grants-in-aid
of Rs.147.25 crore for the balance. However, the tax-share allocated
by the Government of India was reduced to Rs.135.09 crore on account
of expected shortfall in the revenue from the Union Excise Duties.
Our Honourable Chief Minister took up the matter with the Union Finance
Minister with a plea to compensate us for this shortfall through a
corresponding increase in the quantum of the grants-in-aid, in compliance
with the true spirit underlying the Finance Commissions assessment.
This, however, did not materialize. There was further erosion in our
receipts in the form of a recovery of Rs.10.05 crore from our tax-share
on account on the excess payment stated to have been made in 1992-93.
11. The Budget Estimates for the current year as
presented by me last year had shown an overall surplus of Rs.8.72
crore. As compared to this, the Revised Estimates framed now show
a deficit of Rs.13.96 crore. Apart from the shortfall in the States
tax-shares, there were certain inescapable increases in expenditure
also. The non-Plan expenditure has grown from Rs.308.30 crore in the
B.E. stage to Rs.381.64 crore at the R.E. stage. One of the reasons
as stated above, was the provision for the payment of rental charges
which had to be made in the Revised Estimates. Besides, provision
had to be made for payment of compensation to those whose property
was damaged during the couter-insurgency operations, corresponding
to the grants-in-aid of Rs.18.36 crore received from the Government
of India. There was extra expenditure also because of massive land-slides
in the southern parts of the State. Also, I had deliberately not made
provision in the Budget Estimates for payment of two installments
of DA due to employees in the fond hope that this burden would by
absorbed by the departments through economy in their normal budget
allocations. This, however, could not be absorbed. Further, payment
of Interim Relief also had to be made to employees including arrears
for the period September 1993 to March 1995. However, as already stated,
due to cooperation extended by our employees, much of these could
be impounded in GPF accounts.
12. On the basis of the Revised Estimates for 1995-96,
the next year 1996-97 is expected to open with a deficit of Rs.41.21
crore. One of the foremost considerations before me while framing
the budget for the next year was to reduce this deficit to the utmost
extent possible. With the cooperation of different departments, I
have succeeded in framing a surplus budget for 1996-97. The budget
shows a surplus of Rs.4.47 crore against the deficit of Rs.13.96 crore
as per the Revised Estimates for the current year, showing an improvement
of Rs.18.43 crore. This was possible mainly through the avoidance
of inessential expenditure and containment of the growth of other
non-Plan expenditure. I hope to maintain this trend in the final budget
for the year.
13. The Budget Estimates show a surplus of Rs.97.89
crore on Revenue Account, with revenue receipts placed at Rs.581.82
crore and revenue expenditure at Rs.483.93 crore. However, with a
huge deficit of Rs.94.85 crore on Capital Account, there is a small
surplus of Rs.3.04 crore only in the Consolidated Fund. The Public
Account also reveals a small surplus of Rs.1.43 crore. With the overall
surplus of Rs.4.47 crore, the closing deficit is estimated at Rs.36.74
14. Taking the budget as a whole, total disbursements
in 1996-97 amount to Rs.643.10 crore consisting of Rs.257.08 crore
on Plan account and the remaining Rs.386.02 crore on non-Plan account.
The Central support comes to Rs.599.74 crore, accounting for 93.26
percent of the aggregate budget.
15. As stated earlier, the outlay on the State Plan
and the Central assistance therefore are tentatively pitched in the
budget at the level of the current year only. Provision has also not
been made in the budget for the fresh installments of D.A. which the
Government may have to pay to the employees next year. Following the
report of the Fifth Central Pay Commission expected early next year,
the State Government may also have to go in for extensive pay-revision
for its employees. On the other hand, the Government may have to go
in for further additional resource mobilization on the basis of the
recommendations of the Mizoram Resources Mobilisation and Taxation
Enquiry Committee which is in session. I propose to take up all these
aspects at the time of framing the final budget for the year 1996-97.
16. Before I close, I want to make an earnest appeal.
Our demand on the limited resources is ever growing as the Government
expenditure is increasing year after year. As per the recommendations
of the Tenth Finance Commission, the non-plan gap grant is shrinking
every year until it disappears totally in another four years time.
While we have made effort to raise resources of our own to match the
need, there are limitations. The only alternative is to lighten our
belts and the departments of the Government spend discreetly and avoid
unnecessary expenditure. As they say, economy is a great source of
revenue and I want every department to follow this so that we can
learn to live within our means. I am hopeful that the departments
would heed to this advice.
17. While as required, the Annual Financial Statement
for the year 1996-97 has been laid before the House and the connected
Demands for Grants are also circulated to the Honourable Members,
I am, at this stage, seeking a "Vote on Account" only for
the first four months of the financial year 1996-97.
18. Sir, before I close, I would like to thank you
and all other Members of the House for giving me a patient hearing
and attention. I also express my thanks to the Officers and staff
of all departments, especially the Finance Department and the Government
Press. Further, this is the first time that the State budget has been
largely prepared on the Computer. This was possible only because of
the special efforts put in by the Mizoram Unit of the National Informatics
Centre. My special thanks are due to them for this cooperation.
Thanking you, Sir.

Tuesday, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau released its latest monthly consumer complaint snapshot, highlighting bank account and service complaints. The report shows many consumers are experiencing problems opening up and managing accounts, while other consumers found their accounts closed without explanation. As of Nov. 1, 2015, the Bureau has handled over 749,400 complaints across all products.
"Deposit accounts are an effective way for consumers to manage their basic finances," said CFPB Director Richard Cordray. "We are concerned that consumers continue to complain about accessing and managing this key financial tool. Every responsible consumer who wants a deposit account should be able to get one and use it effectively."
Read the Monthly Complaint Report
Consumers submit complaints about accounts or services offered by banks, credit unions, and nonbank companies under the general category of "bank accounts or services." These deposit accounts are an important part of a consumer's financial life. Currently, more than 200 million Americans have open deposit accounts. These accounts provide consumers with a secure way to collect earnings, make payments, and transfer and hold funds. As of Nov. 1, 2015, the Bureau had handled approximately 75,300 bank account or service complaints. Some of the findings in the snapshot include:
Company-level complaint data in the report uses a three-month rolling average of complaints sent by the Bureau to companies for response. This data lags other complaint data in this report by two months to reflect that companies are expected to close all but the most complicated complaints within 60 days. After the CFPB forwards a company the complaint, the company has 15 days to respond, confirming a commercial relationship with the consumer.
As of Nov. 1, 2015, the CFPB has handled 749,400 complaints nationally. Some of the highlights from the statistics in this month's snapshot report include:
In June 2012, the CFPB launched its Consumer Complaint Database, which is the nation's largest public collection of consumer financial complaints. For individual-level complaint data and to read consumers' experiences, go to the Consumer Complaint Database.

Introduction: Infrastructure Complexity and Cyber Threat Velocity Impacting Security Management Capabilities
This IDG Connect survey, sponsored by ForeScout, illustrates the nature and extent of the security threats and defense maturity arrayed against organizations in the finance, manufacturing, healthcare, retail and education sectors in Austria, Germany, Switzerland (DACH region), the UK and the USA. It offers a snapshot of security issues impacting organizations, the processes, tools and controls used to pre-empt and contain violations, exposures and cyber threats, assesses the degree of confidence IT departments have in their efficacy, and identifies areas most likely for future enhancement and investment.
Most organizations within the UK, USA, and the DACH region continue to experience a significant number of security breaches and exhibit a diverse range of exposures, indicating that increases in operational complexity, such as devices, accessibility, mobile, virtualization and cloud, are extenuating gaps in existing security operations. Furthermore, the growth in the number of violations, vulnerabilities, and cyber-attack landscape is widely apparent.
The absolute necessity that every organization should undertake is to evaluate the implementation of new monitoring and mitigation mechanisms beyond conventional tools and controls within a defense-in-depth program. It is equally apparent that in many cases effective cyber defenses will require processes conducive to continuous protection which integrates better discovery, prevention and response capacity across the entire IT estate – from end user device and network to the server, application and data

I had my last OB appointment before delivery on Tuesday. I also had an ultrasound done to check Gabe's position. He is breech – like he's been all along. He has a beautiful ear and chubby cheeks and LOTS of hair. He wouldn't let us see his face straight on – he has both ears, don't worry.
So here is where we stand now… my OB has spoken with 2 MFM specialists – one of whom (believe it or not) has delivered a baby with LBWC. Now, this baby was not full term but at least he had some experience with it. After talking with them and going over positioning, etc. she has decided that I will need to have a vertical incision. She will start with a low vertical incision and only convert to a complete classical incision if it's absolutely necessary. She needs to get Gabe out with the placenta intact so if she can't reach it with the small incision we'll just have to move to the large one to get him out safely. She said the neonatologist may be able to then cut and clamp the cord to separate him from the placenta. She and one of the MFMs feel like there could be enough cord outside of the defect to be able to do that. The hospice RN has taken care of all of her details so it looks like – staging-wise – we're all set.
BUT – I am starting to get nervous. The risks with the classical incision are higher for bleeding, incidence of infection, and a weak scar. I know that many women have made it through this type of delivery and are fine but it seems that every step in my road seems to present the greatest complication for the situation. (plus I'm not looking forward to the "butt in the front" look that I hear I'm in for!)
I plan to get my laundry and packing done tonight. I'm meeting with a dear old friend tomorrow and am going with the moms and Chloe for pedicures on Friday. This weekend I will have a maternity photo session and then try to relax with my family.
REQUESTS: I am asking you all to pray for my peace – for fear to be driven out. Also for peace, sharp minds and steady hands for all of the doctors and nurses involved but especially for my OB. (I think she's a little nervous, too.) Please pray for peace and strength for my husband as this is a scary time for him, too. Pray that my children will be allowed to come and meet their baby brother. (the hospital just enacted visitor restrictions to not allow anyone under 15 due to [swine] flu concerns) And please, please pray that Gabriel will be healed on this side of Heaven. I want so badly for him to come home with us that it hurts.

Q. Over the years Ive collected many art books, brushes, paints, pastels and pencils as well as taken a couple of local art classes. Ive always wanted to be involved in art in some way, but Im discouraged and have no clue where to begin. Do you have any suggestions?
A. What an enviable place youre inthe beginning. All those supplies youve collected are yearning for your head, hands and heart to use them in an expressive way. Here are five ways for getting motivated.
- Get inspired. First, look at the art books, magazines and art DVDs youve collected. Then, sit down, close your eyes and think about color, shape and texture. Imagine a beautiful sunset youve seen, a brightly lit rose, an attractive pattern on fabrics. Think about architecture, paintings or sculptures that fascinate you. After about 10 minutes, make a list of the most significant things youve imagined. Write down the colors, shapes and textures you envisioned. Keep this as the beginning of an idea book, in which you also can collect paintings, pictures and drawings you admire.
- Write an affirmation. An affirm-ation should express the reasons you want to paint. Perhaps its something like I paint to please myself or I express myself best through art. Remember this phrase and repeat it when you get discouraged.
- Get organized. Arrange a working space so all your materials are readily available. Look for tools to help you organize your materials at art supply stores or online at ArtBin (www.artbin.com).
- Just do it. Set a goal to cover a certain number of pages or canvases (perhaps 20) with brushstrokes using different colors and brush sizes. Keep your paintbrush moving fast. Dont try to paint a subject and try not to thinkjust paint. Then, when youre finished, observe the paintings to discern the pattern of brushstrokes, but dont be too attached to the outcomes.
- Keep a schedule. Routine is important, even for the most experienced painter. Set aside at least 15 minutes to paint each day, even on weekends.
Well, what are you waiting for? Remember what Goethe said: Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius and power and magic in it. Be bold. The beginning is the best part.

Fidel Castro was born August 13, 1926, in Mayari municipality, province of Oriente.
As a child Fidel Castro attended Catholic schools in Santiago de Cuba and Havana.
In 1945, Fidel Castro attended the University of Havana and graduated 1950 with a law degree.
Married Mirta Diaz-Balart in 1948. Had a son, Fidel Castro Diaz-Balart, born in 1949. However, they divorced in 1954.
Fidel Castro was a vocal opponent of the dictator "Fulgencio Batista". Fulgencio Batista had overthron the government of President Carlos Prio Socarras in a coup. Castro also was a member of the social-democratic Ortodoxo party. On July 26, 1953, Fidel Castro led an attack on the Moncada army barracks that failed. Castro was tried and sentenced to 15 years in prison. Fidel Castro was later granted amnesty in 1955.
Castro went into exile in Mexico. Here, Fidel Castro founded the 26th of July Movement. In December 1956, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, and a small band of supporters, returned to Cuba and launched a successful guerrilla war. Batista fled Cuba, on Jan. 1, 1959.
Castro assumed power and established close ties with the Soviet Union. Fidel Castro established a "socialist" state, and nationalized industry and collectivized agriculture. In 1960, Castro confiscated the oil refineries, sugar mills, and electric utilities, that belonged to the United States. The U.S. government imposed economic sanctions on Cuba. In 1961, the U.S. Government tried to overthrow Fidel Castro in what became known as the "Bay of Pigs" Invasion.
Fidel Castro has played a major role in representing the interests of the Third World Countries in numerous forums. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, Cuba was placed under enormous difficulties, but these days is experiencing good solid growth. On February 24, 2008, the National Assembly elected Ra˙l Castro to succeed Fidel as the President of Cuba.

Well, that went quickly.
Today marks a month since our arrival. And in that time, we've been productive. Freakishly productive.
We've got social security cards, opened bank accounts, rented cars, found a house, signed up the kids to schools, registered with doctors, overspent in IKEA, started work (me), made friends (Alex), picked up the accent (Ava) and eaten a lot of ketchup (Daisy).
Life here is great. Every day is a learning experience. Take today, for example – I went for my first haircut in the US, and soon learned I need to go somewhere else.
We've come a long way in 30 days, and some of what we've experienced deserves a post in its own right. When I have the time, I'll give it the attention it needs. For now, I've added some photos to give a flavour of what July looked like.
Tomorrow we move in to our new house. On Tuesday, my Mum's flying out to
babysit for us spend quality time with us. Hopefully security won't seize her Marmite stash at the airport.
You have a nice day now…

What are verbs? How can they be defined or categorized? This page attempts to answer these essential questions as clearly and concisely as possible.
Verbs are among the essential building blocks of communication in any language. They are, with the subject, one of the two essential elements of a sentence or clause. The other is the subject.
Verbs: a definition
A verb exists in relation to a subject. It is the key and essential element of thepredicate in a sentence. The verb expresses an action or process undertaken by the subject, or a situation defining the subject.
Processes : to sleep, to eat, to think
Situations : to be, to seem, to live
Verbs in the sentence
Every sentence is made up of a subject and a predicate. The predicate must contain averb, but can contain many other elements too (a complement, an object or more,adverbs, circumstantial expressions, etc.). Examples:
You have taken the wrong bag
The man and the woman both forgot.
He forgot to get off the train at York.
Different types of verb
Transitive or intransitive?
Verbs can either be transitive or intransitive. A transitive verb requires an object, an intransitive verb cannot have an object. Some verbs can be transitive or intransitive, depending on context.
Intransitive : to sleep, to die, to fall
Verbs that can be either : to give, to burn, to smell
Stative or dynamic?
Verbs can be either stative or dynamic. Stative verbs describe a situation or state, dynamic verbs describe a process or change of state. The two categories are incompatible with each other.
Dynamic – expressing a change of state: to discover, to lie down, to become, to learn
2) My father likes beer but not whisky.
3) The scientists discovered a new planet on the edge of the solar system.
4) I sat down and went to sleep.
Tense, aspect, voice
Linguists maintain that there are only two tenses in English, the present and the past. Other "tenses" are verbforms created with the help of auxiliaries and modals.
Here is a table of the main verb forms in English, in simple and progressive aspect, and active and passive voices: sample verb – to make
|Form / Tense
Aspect, voice
|Simple, active
|Progressive, active
|Simple, passive
|Progressive, passive
|I make
|I am making
|I am made
|I am being made
|I will make
|I will be making
|I will be made
|I made
|I was making
|I was made
|I was being made
|Present Perfect
|I have made
|I have been making
|I have been made
|Past perfect
|I had made
|I had been making
|I had been made
|Future perfect
|I will have made
|I will have been making
|I will have been made
- Present tenses: for examples, explanations and further details, see the page on the present tense in English.
- The future: for examples, explanations and further details, see the page onexpressing the future in English.
- Past tenses ; for examples, explanations and further details on the different past tenses in English, see past tenses in English.
Rare forms:
Other "tenses" may exist in English for some verbs, in specific contexts; for example we could envisage "It will be being repaired " or "He's been being looked after", but forms like this are very rare. Here, nonetheless, is a plausible example of a future progressive passive, which is hard to avoid in this particular case:
While you're on holiday in Majorca, I'll be being interviewed for that job in Glasgow.
Other verb forms in English: modality
Here is a table of modal verb forms, using the modal auxiliary must .
|Modality in the present or future
|Modality in the past
|Simple, active
|I must take
|I must have taken
|Progressive, active
|I must be taking
|I must have been taking
|Simple, passive
|I must be taken
|I must have been taken
|Progressive, passive
Mood: the subjunctive in English
Most English-speakers do not know that there is a subjunctive mood in English; but there is, and many use it quite regularly, without realising. However there is only one context in which the subjunctive is commonly used, and that is in the context of a hypothetical conditional statement. And of these, there is just one expression that is used – from time to time – by most people, and it is:
If I were you as in If I were you, I'd drive more carefully.
Note that the expression is "If I were you" (a subjunctive), and not "If I was you" (an indicative), though the second form is also heard.

Illiotibial Friction Band Syndrome
Iliotibial friction band (ITB) syndrome typically causes pain at the outer (lateral) aspect of the knee where the (ITB) crosses the knee joint. The ITB is a long band of tissue that runs down the outer side of the leg and attaches below the knee. ITB friction syndrome describes a condition where the band rubs against a bony prominence at the outer aspect of the knee and causes inflammation and& pain. This condition is commonly seen in runners.
What are the symptoms of ITB friction syndrome?
Pain is usually experienced at the outer aspect of the knee. Patients usually experience an ache that may increase to a sharper pain with activity. The outer part of the knee may be tender to touch with potential swelling. In the morning or following activity (once the body has cooled down) is generally when pain is at its worst. Pain is also typically experienced during activities that bend or straighten the knee particularly whilst weight bearing, for example running, squatting or jumping.
How can physiotherapy help?
A physiotherapist will perform soft tissue massage to loosen the ITB in attempt to stop friction on the knee. They may use acupuncture or mobilisations to assist with pain and healing of the tissues. Mobilisation may also be used on the hip and knee to increase mobility at the joints with the aim to increase flexibility of the ITB. Stretching is important to return the ITB to its normal length and the use of a foam roller or gym equipment may be optimised. Strengthening exercises may also be provided to assist in reducing ITB symptoms and target the underlying cause such as biomechanical factors and posture, or muscle strength mismatching of the leg muscles. Further support such as taping may also be provided.

It's a question of commitment
Despite further signs of a weakening US economy, demand for German products remains defiantly strong with exports seeing their fastest growth for 16 months, rising by 3.8 per cent in January over December. Manufacturing remains strongly at the heart of the German economy. But, what gives German manufacturers the determination to manufacture close to home, rather than outsource to China or perhaps closer to home, East Europe?
Following a recent visit to a German racking and shelving manufacturer I feel that I may have gained a small insight into this conundrum. BITO Lagertechnik, a family owned business that has been making storage products since 1959, has just completed a €16 million investment into a highly automated pallet racking fabrication plant, located on home turf in Meisenheim. The investment is a strong commitment to the company's newly designed pallet racking system called PRO, which is a modular product that has been created with automated fabrication in mind.
The company carefully considered taking advantage of lower wages in East Europe, but decided the right way forward was to utilise the existing local skills combined with a heavy investment in automated production. The plant is impressive, with beams and uprights being coaxed into form from steel coils, passing through automated metal forming and punching systems before being manoeuvred by robot on to finishing and painting operations.
Such a commitment to a new product is brave and will require substantial orders to get a reasonably fast return on investment. Perhaps the fact that the final decision to move ahead came from one key individual from the owning family helps, such courage on a collective basis may be more difficult to come by.
But it's the company's resolve to invest in people, as well as plant, that may well be indicative of German manufacturing's desire to keep production close to home. The family owned company provides professional qualification courses to six per cent of their staff and presently employs 34 apprentices and trainees who are trained in 13 professions. Among the range of training options are three academic degrees which can be obtained in a duel system of practical work and academic studies at Mannheim University.
All in all, German manufacturers seem to place a high value on their manufacturing heritage and are prepared to invest in people and machines for the attainment of a long-term vision, rather than the more widely adopted approach of achieving a short-term financial goal. The big question is, are you in it for the long run?

|Home Sweet Home. After Walter Dendy Sadler [Public domain]
even if mentioned only once.
Do not eat of the tree in the midst of the garden.
Thou shalt not print any marks on your flesh.
Would not a commandment repeated again by God show greater importance if possible?
For instance... And God sanctified the day He ended His work, and blessed it, and rested from all His work. (Genesis 2) Then later to His people He reminded them of this law already in effect when He said, "REMEMBER, the Sabbath Day to keep it holy." "Don't forget what I have already told you. Remember, this law which had already been given long before Moses' law and which is so easily forgotten."
God rested on the eighth day of creation, and Jesus rose on the eighth day of the week as well. Eight symbolizes a new beginning. Jesus Christ adjusted the day from the Jewish seventh back to the original eighth or "first day of the week."
So with this repeated law for about two millenia now, Christians all over the world have ceased from work, refused to participate in commerce and all common business, and have rested and worshiped on the Christian Sabbath, the Lords Day.
The more earnestly Christians delight in this moral law, the more God blesses them. (See Isaiah 58:11-14 and Psalm 112:1-2 below.) Only recently with the God predicted apostasy sweeping over the earth is much of the church world making excuses to disregard this perpetual moral law.
Now think about this. God repeated another commandment THREE times in various forms in just the first nine chapters of the Bible.
"Be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein." (Genesis 9:7. Also 1:28 and 9:1)
Our un-Godly society today is opposing this with a demonic fervor. The lies spew forth.
You are overpopulating the world. Too many people harm the earth. You can't afford to have children. It's harmful for a woman to have babies. Children hinder a successful career.
The world is overpopulated? According to whom? God called for an abundance of people on the earth.
Humans harm the earth? Many people on the earth do not harm it; SIN wrecks havoc upon creation. God reminds us of this over and over in His Word.
Children are expensive? Good things do come at a cost. But you cannot afford NOT to have children, when God pleases to open the womb. They are a heritage of the Lord. And when God sends into a home which fears Him little mouths to feed, He will send the food needed to feed them.
Babies harm women? Birthing a child and raising children are intense labors, but studies show that mothers of multiple children have lower incidences of several health problems and cancers.
Wreck a successful career? Children might hamper certain careers, but they do not hinder success. Wise, long-term planning parents know that sons and daughters wisely trained and aided by God can do much more than a career to perpetuate a legacy if God so allows.
Those who believe such lies are sadly ignorant. Satan hates children. He loves for people to believe lies like this. Because God loves all children. Jesus blood was shed to save every one of them.
Satan loves to cause many obstacles to obedience of God's commands. Persevering obedience in spite of seeming impossibilities proves our faith and willingness to obey God.
Having children can seem a fearful responsibility, but God wants to cast out fear.
God uses more than highway and byway evangelism to fill the earth with His kingdom. God's kingdom comes also by filling homes with children to be dedicated to Him.
God's Word and the onward march of history shows that with time the seed of the wicked are cut off from the face of the earth. God also tells us that he multiplies the seed of the righteous. The wicked fading away and the righteous replenishing the earth has a regenerating, blessing effect on the earth.
Satan has come to kill and destroy. Is it no wonder he hates holy, happy homes filled with the play and laughter of little children.
But God delights in this sweet smelling offering for Him. Especially when Papa and Momma lay everything aside to follow God, to pray for the conversion of their offspring, and to teach these children the ways of God.
Back when God gave the thrice repeated commandment to be fruitful and multiply, He envisioned blessings sweeping over the earth through this.
-Phillip Dickinson
Back when God gave the thrice repeated commandment to be fruitful and multiply, He envisioned blessings sweeping over the earth through this.
-Phillip Dickinson
(Isaiah 58:11-14)
And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
(Psalm 112:1-2)Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

text: Swan Lake jumps from Russia to Brantford The Sputnik February 15, 2012 Arts & Culture– Venetia Bodanis. staffFrom its beginnings in 1961 to its first North American touring season in 2006, the State Ballet Theatre of Russia has performed both contemporary ballets and classical ballets for audiences around the world. The company has housed many leading dancers throughout its history, including prima ballerina and principal dancer of their current show Swan Lake, Svetlana Noskova."I always feel that little bit of nervousness before each show," says Noskova. "I always want to do my absolute best."None of those nerves were visible to Brantford's packed Sanderson Centre where a wide assortment of people gathered this past Sunday to watch The State Ballet Theatre's touring performance of the classic Tchaikovsky ballet, Swan Lake.With a completed successful tour nearly under their belt, the company has only about a week and a half of performances left, with Brantford as one of their final stops. The 45 shows that the company has already performed as part of their North American tour did not seem to have had an effect on the dancers' performances. Their dancing captivated the audience for the entire two and a half hours as theatre-goers watched the romantic story of the Prince and the White Swan unfold as trickery, magic, and lust are thrown into the mix.Aside from the interesting set construction, the intricate medieval costumes (that the dancers quickly switched in and out of every act) added to the overall impressiveness of the performance. Artistic and Tour Director, Olga Nepomnyashchaya counts all three of these things as her favourite part of the production."It's a really interesting process, to see it come together from the beginning to the end. Between the choreography and the dance and the aspect of stage decoration and the costumes, which are all hand made. And then in the end being able to see the final product gives me so much pride," says Nepomnyashchaya through her translator.Swan Lake can either be performed in three or four acts with a variation of endings depending on what the artistic director chooses. The company's director chose to showcase the ballet in the traditional four acts, allowing audience members that little bit extra. The Brantford audience was clearly appreciative of this added act, as they clapped enthusiastically after each scene, and clapped exceptionally loudly after the well-choreographed dance between the Prince and the Black Swan. The audience's positive reaction for each scene seems to be nothing new for the company's dancers and directors."Most of the tour has been going very smoothly and the audiences go up after the show and say how much they enjoyed it and appreciated them coming," Nepomnyashchaya explains.Usually the ending of Swan Lake ranges from a more depressing finale where both the Prince and the White Swan drown together in a lake, to a slightly less dreary ending where the White Swan is forced to remain a swan forever by the evil Sorcerer, leaving the Prince alone.Nepomnyashchaya's ending however, consisted of the Prince and the White Swan defeating the Sorcerer by ripping off one of his wings and killing him, leaving the couple to live happily together. This is quite a different version than the loosely adapted 2010 film, Black Swan, where Natalie Portman's character throws herself off a cliff after being deceived by the Prince. Nepomnyashchaya's decision to use a positive ending was a choice well made considering the audience consisted of mostly young girls in their Sunday best.The performance, complete with a happier ending than normal, caused audience members to give the dancers ultimate praise in the form of a standing ovation, adding yet another successful performance to the State Ballet Theatre of Russia's repertoire."I always like to think positively. All the dancers always give 100% and everything they have, the audience really appreciates that," Nepomnyashchaya says.The State Ballet Theatre of Russia will next be performing Romeo and Juliet as part of their North American tour.Leave a Reply Cancel reply

Another month, another haul! As I said in my last Beauty Pie testing post, this month I was going to focus on the lips. I also wanted to include eyes, but my Beauty Pie £150 budget wouldn't stretch that far!
I didn't get as much for my £150 limit. I only spent £20, but the items were worth a lot more so the budget instilled on me by Beauty Pie only allowed for 5 items. Due to this, I mainly focused on lipsticks because these are what I get a lot of use out of. I only like to use 1 or 2 mascaras at a time, so it'd be a while before I got round to testing the ones in this order!
Super Luminous Concealer in the shade 100 (Pink undertone) RRP £22.00, brought for £2.69 – I am so picky when it comes to the concealers I wear; I pretty much hate every one I buy except from my Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer and the Maybelline Age Rewind concealer. I am quite self-conscious about the bags under my eyes and the fine lines starting to appear, so I like to be quite picky about what I wear under my eyes so I don't enhance these features. Similar to my Maybelline one, this concealer comes with a sponge to apply which I'm not the biggest fan of (unsanitary!) but I was quite surprised with the product overall. It was more liquid that I expected it to be so I assumed it would be quite a light coverage, but surprisingly it was rather full coverage! Only a small bit was applied, but it covered my entire under eye and cheek area! When patted in with a damp sponge it set very well and looked great, but there was a tiny bit of creasing after a while, despite being set with a powder. It was over the course of the day, so would need touching up after a few hours, but wore well in the process. I don't usually go for pink undertones as I need a more yellow base to suit my skin colour, but this was a fairly good match, and incredibly brightening.
Future Lipstick Matte in the shade Power Up Pink (RRP £20.00, brought for £2.30) – I tend to float between matte and satin lipsticks depending on my mood, so I brought one of each to try. Power Up Pink is a beautiful coral fuchsia shade that is so perfect for the summer months! The formula really does remind me of MAC lipsticks; they glide on silky smooth, opaque in one swipe and last a hell of a long time. It also wore quire evenly throughout the day; I did need to touch up around mid afternoon, but I wasn't left with a funny lip line for an uneven wear. There's also quite a shade range for the lipsticks that is lacking in their other ranges, so something to suit everyone's taste.
Future Lipstick Satin in the Shade Knockout Punch (RRP £20.00, brought for £3.07) – I tend to prefer satin lipsticks as they are more forgiving on the lips, so I was more interested in seeing how this formula compares to some of my favourites. The shade is a typical "my lips but better"; a rosy pink with brown undertones, and I have to say I love it! The colour is perfect for everyday use, it wears brilliantly on the lips and feels so comfortable to wear. I brought a lip liner to go with it, but you could get away with not using one too.
Moisture Lock Wondergel Lip Liner in the shades Love Nest and Rummy Pink ( RRP £15.00 each, brought for £1.50 each) – I find it very difficult to get excited about a lip liner, because they aren't something I tend to buy unless I absolutely have to. Because of this I don't have a lot to compare these to, but I found the Beauty Pie formulas to be creamy and pigmented; they were easy to apply and didn't feather at all! Rummy Pink is a gorgeous nude shade very similar to Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk, whilst Love Nest is a bright fuchsia pink. They also perfectly matched the lipsticks I brought, too.
Overall, this second haul was just as impressive as the first in terms of quality, and they are all products that will get a lot of use. One thing I have noticed about Beauty Pie is the lack of shades in some ranges, but the lip based products are varied and plentiful. I would like to see some swatches on their website, as sometimes it can be a little play-by-ear in terms of finding a perfect match – it isn't always easy to see which shade would suit my skin tone from the pictures – but this may come at a later stage as the range expands.
I'm not sure about the £150 budget you are given; this equates to the total cost of the RRP value of products, which can sometimes only allow 4 items. Maybe if the budget was £175 or £200 it would be worth committing to long-term. I do think that it is worth paying the subscription fee for access to such affordable and high quality makeup, though, and I am absolutely looking forward to testing their skin care products out next month!

If you change the rating table associated with a skill in Configuration to a different table, the new table will show on courses that do not have Grading Information already defined. Any existing grading information will continue to use the old table. This will not affect any skills already entered in and/or posted from FAWeb.
Further, the only way to disassociate a skill with a ratings table in grading information is to delete the skill. Refer to How to change ratings table associated with skill after skill has been added to course.
If you do have a separate session for your second semester, changing the skills rating table in Configuration, then adding the skill to the course grading information for future sessions will not delete or change the ratings table used and student ratings given in past sessions.
Based on the above information, you may find that you need to add new entries to the existing table rather than change the skill to use a new table (at least for this academic year). If this is the case, refer to How to define skills categories, display names, and ratings tables in The Education Edge.
You may also mark the old entries as Inactive so that the inactive choices will no longer appear in the drop down within FAWeb when adding new ratings for students, but they will still appear for existing student ratings.
Before marking a rating as Inactive:
Sally - Skill: Behavior - Rating: N
After marking the rating 'N' Inactive and making 'U' a new entry for the table used by the Behavior skill:
-- N still appears for Sally's Behavior in FAWeb Gradebook and EE Grades
-- U is now available when clicking the drop down arrow (list) for Behavior and N is no longer a choice

LAURA Geitz knew it was time to retire as she looked across the netball court and was no longer one of the tallest players doing battle.
But Geitz walks away from the game that made her a household name as an absolute giant of netball.
The 30-year-old has hung up the goalkeeper bib for good after a glittering career that included three grand final wins as captain of her beloved Queensland Firebirds along with World Cup glory and Commonwealth Games gold with the Australian Diamonds.
She returned to netball after missing the 2017 season following the birth of her son Barney to play in the Commonwealth Games and have one last fling in the Suncorp Super Netball competition.
The Diamonds and Firebirds both fell short of a fairytale finish for the sport's golden girl who last graced a court in Queensland's elimination final loss to the Sunshine Coast on August 12 at Boondall — where she is immortalised in bronze with a statue at the front steps.
But Geitz has no regrets.
"It's been a phenomenal time. I've loved absolutely every second of wearing the purple uniform and being part of a family … it means the absolute world to me,'' Geitz said.
"It's been wonderful but all good things have to come to an end.
"I'm excited to say I've closed the chapter on my netballing life and I'm very excited for the next chapter and what lies ahead.
"I most definitely knew towards the back end of this season … that it's time for me to hang up the bib.''
Geitz said it was hard to go past the back-to-back ANZ Championship grand final wins in 2015 and 2016 as the highlights of her Firebirds tenure.
She said Jamaican Jhaniele Fowler was her toughest opponent but teammate Romelda Aiken was also a handful at training "every Tuesday and Thursday night''.
Geitz is looking forward to spending more time with her family and will continue with her ambassadorial roles and working with her blue chip sponsors.
She said the game was changing with players getting bigger, faster and stronger.
"When I first started I was the second tallest in the team. I think I've dropped down to the fifth or sixth. That's saying something about the calibre of the athletes that are coming through,'' she said.
"There are athletic girls, they are so strong and the game is just changing in that regard so I think I'm getting out at a great time.''
Geitz almost quit netball in 2013 following the death of her father Ross after a tragic accident on the family farm at Allora on the Darling Downs.
But she returned to the sport and led the Firebirds to the grand final that year and assumed the Diamonds captaincy.
Tests: 71 (2008-2018)
Test debut: 2008 v England
National league games: 169 (2005-20016, 2018)
National league debut: 2005 (Canberra Darters 2005-07, Queensland Firebirds 2008-2016, 2018)
Career highlights:
■ ANZ Championship grand final wins 2011, 2015 and 2016 (Firebirds captain)
■ 2015 Netball World Cup win (Diamonds captain)
■ 2011 Netball World Cup win
■ 2014 Commonwealth Games gold medal (Diamonds captain). Silver medal at 2010
■ Commonwealth games in Delhi and 2018 Commonwealth Games at Gold Coast.
