Homeruns Doom Scrappers in Playoff Opener
By Mahoning Valley Scrappers | September 9, 2017 10:50 PM
Burlington, VT- The Mahoning Valley Scrappers dropped the opening game of a New York-Penn League semifinal, 8-3 to the Vermont Lake Monsters on Saturday night. The Lake Monsters blasted two homeruns in a five run seventh inning to down the Scrappers.
After falling behind 1-0, the Scrappers would take an early lead in the top of the second inning. With one the Scrappers would record three straight singles to load the bases. Ernie Clement then reached on an infield single to tie the game. A throwing error on the play allowed the go ahead run to score as well to put the Scrappers up 2-1.
Simeon Lucas added a run on the board with a solo homerun in the top of the third inning. It was the first postseason homerun hit by the Scrappers since Chun Chen hit a walk off homerun in game two of the championship series in 2009.
Mahoning Valley held the lead until the bottom of the seventh inning. The inning started with a fielding error, then back to back one out walks to load the bases. Logan Farrar followed for Vermont and hit the first pitch he saw into the Lake Monsters' bullpen for a grand slam and a 5-3 lead. Greg Deichmann followed with a solo homer and Vermont led 6-3 after the seventh inning.
Vermont would put the game away in the bottom of the eighth inning. Aaron Arruda was hit by a pitch to start the inning. Javier Godard followed with a two run homer to left to push the score out to the final of 8-3.
Sam Hentges started and took a no decision in 4.0 innings of work. He allowed one earned run on five hits. He walked two and struck out four. Felix Tati (0-1) took the loss in 1.1 innings of relief. Tati allowed three runs, two earned, without allowing a hit. He walked two and struck out one.
The Scrappers and Lake Monsters now return to Eastwood Field for a must win game for Mahoning Valley. Gregori Vasquez will get the start. First pitch is set for 7:05. Playoff tickets are now available on the Scrappers website as well as through the box office.

Planning For A School Trip
Filed Under Travel Tips
Studying abroad can always put a positive spin on your career or profession. If you are thinking of taking the plunge into some of these academic offerings, check out these helpful tips when planning your trip. Make a list of legal documents that must carry. Sometimes we assume that in our case will be all you need to spend a long time abroad, but we all know the trouble of packing we can leave out important issues. Then, miles from home, in slow motion remember that document that was in a cabinet that is now required. To prevent this from happening , a week before the trip , review all documents must carry and makes a list , buy or get a hardcover folder and put all the papers inside, while the list strikeouts . It is recommended that this folder go in your hand luggage and be with you throughout the trip.
Some tips for Educational Trip:
Research the climate and temperature of the city. Surprises are nice but when it is coming to a city with luggage in tow, looking for the place to stay, you better be ready for a hot sun, heavy rain or freezing cold. Knowing what the average temperatures of the place will help you plan what to pack clothes will be needed. When you approach the date of travel, check what the temperature of the day of arrival (you can use an application for mobile phones) and have on hand the coat, umbrella or sunglasses.
Meet transportation in the city and their schedules. While it is sometimes difficult to know the entire transport system of a city, we encourage you to investigate the most common routes, schedules (whether or not 24-hour service), pricing, and if there are discounts for students. So you can more easily move daily and will minimize the headache of wondering how to get home if it's getting late. Tip: Always keep in mind alternative routes to go to school, college or school, and alternate routes to get home.
Make a weekly budget of expenses. Generally we get excited when we travel and we want to buy things that can reduce our budget without noticing. While it could be part of a scholarship, knowing how much you spend weekly shopping helps balance, so you know whether or not you give that taste this week or wait for the next.

I love wearing skirts to class. I love the little knitty shorties too… but the translucent veil-like drapes of a skirt can't be beaten. Photos when I've completed my ensemble!

Fort Worth, Texas — Scott Dixon led the last 119 laps at Texas on Saturday night, winning his second consecutive IndyCar race and quickly breaking a tie for the third-most career wins in Indy-car history.
Dixon got his 43rd career victory, a week after winning at Detroit to match Michael Andretti. Dixon trails only A.J. Foyt's 67 wins and Mario Andretti's 52.
After taking the lead on the 1 1/2-mile Texas oval in the 248-lap race, he never gave it up. It was Dixon's third victory at Texas.
"The car was just stuck," Dixon said. "Whatever we did, the car was just nailed. It was a bit loose at times, but I can't thank the team enough. The pit stops were fantastic."
Before separate late incidents involving Will Power and Ed Carpenter, the top two finishers at the Indianapolis 500, Dixon was close to lapping the field.
IndyCar said Power and Carpenter both would be penalized for avoidable contact with rookie drivers.
Power held the points lead coming into the race, but Dixon took over that with his 4.3-second win over Simon Pagenaud. Alexander Rossi finished third, with James Hinchcliffe and Ryan Hunter-Reay rounding out the top five in the first night race of the season.
The win gave Dixon a 23-point lead over Rossi after nine of 17 races. Power was third, 36 behind Dixon.
"It's not bad," Dixon said. "But it's going to be hard to hold onto. We'll see how the next races go. The car has had good speed all season and we'll try to keep it going."
Power, who won at Texas last year, was running in the top 10 on lap 205 when he made contact with rookie Zachary Claman De Melo.
Claman De Melo was high on the outside coming out of Turn 4 when Power slid up heading toward the frontstretch.
On lap 173, Carpenter made contact with rookie Robert Wickens. Heading off the backstretch into Turn 3 the two were side-by-side low on the track when they made contact as Wickens tried to pass on the inside.
Wickens led 31 laps while Carpenter was never a factor up front at the Texas track where he won in 2014. Carpenter, who drives only ovals for the team he owns, was racing for the first time since finishing second at Indianapolis.
Formula One
Sebastian Vettel has claimed the pole position in the Formula One Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal with the fastest lap ever on the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
Vettel steered his Ferrari over the 2.71-mile (4.36-km) track in 1 minute, 10.764 seconds to deprive Lewis Hamilton of a record seventh pole in Montreal. It's Vettel's fourth pole on the Ile Notre-Dame, and his first since 2013.
The Mercedes of Valtteri Bottas will also start in the front row. After leading all three practice sessions, Max Verstappen will start third, alongside Hamilton. Kimi Raikkonen in the other Ferrari and Monaco winner Daniel Ricciardo are in the third row.
Hamilton tops the championship leaderboard as he pursues his fifth Formula One title. He has a 14-point lead over Vettel and a 38-point edge on Ricciardo.
Courtney Force took her sixth No. 1 qualifier of the year and fourth in the past five events in the inaugural Virginia NHRA Nationals at Virginia Motorsports Park at Dinwiddie.
Force had a 3.983-second pass at 323.35 mph during her second qualifying run Friday in the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series' first visit to the track since 2009.
Tony Schumacher took the No. 1 spot in Top Fuel, Greg Anderson in Pro Stock, and Hector Arana Jr. in Pro Stock Motorcycle — also all with their Friday runs.

Jordan Flaherty is a community organizer and journalist whose new book is Floodlines: Community and Resistance from Katrina to the Jena Six (Haymarket Books). He writes at Left Turn: Notes from the Global Intifada. He spoke with CP about the book, his time working in New Orleans, and the state of journalism.
Are you from New Orleans originally?
No. I lived in New Orleans about eight years. I used to work as a community organizer and I was in New Orleans when Katrina hit, and what I saw was really a transformative experience for me. Unfortunately, [I saw] the way a lot of the survivors were treated on evacuation -- going through evacuee camps, National Guard soldiers pointing guns at them and there being very little aid for people, families getting separated, taken on buses to Oklahoma, Arkansas, Houston. I wrote about what I'd seen and that was forwarded all around, translated into several languages. A lot of community organizers from New Orleans and around the country who I respected encouraged me to keep doing this, and that's how I began writing about the post-Katrina period in New Orleans.
Did you have experience as a writer before that?
That was really the beginning. I'd written a few pieces here and there, but definitely did not consider myself a writer before that time.
When you started it was basically on-the-spot reporting; you didn't plan to write a book?
Yeah, definitely not. I was just trying to get out these stories. There's been so much reporting from New Orleans from this period, so many books, but I really just haven't seen anything that's focused on this aspect of things: community organizing and grassroots responses. It really seems like there was a vacuum.
Why didn't the mainstream press pick up on this part of the story?
I think in general in this country and maybe in the rest of the world to some extent, there's this great-man theory of history: The civil-rights movement is about Martin Luther King and Kennedy and Johnson. It's a few of these movers, and the more complex stories that talk about these people at the grassroots who don't want the headlines, who are just doing the hard work, often don't get told.
I think part of it is the way our dominant narrative in this country is often shaped by film: To make a powerful film, you need one central protagonist. It's hard to do a film with multiple protagonists. I think [Wayne] Schoenfeld and a couple others have done that, but in general you need that one protagonist. I think we're used to our narrative being told in that way.
How did you end up finding the people whose stories came out in this book?
This was really the community I came from -- the grassroots community in New Orleans. These are people I've been working with and collaborating with for the better part of ten years. I've seen them at work, seen them do incredible, inspiring work.
For example, I talk about a law that targets prostitutes in the city, where they're charged as sex offenders under a law that was designed for child molesters -- they have "sex offender" printed on their driver's license, they have to mail out post cards to everyone in their neighborhood saying they're sex offenders. This story I heard about because of people who were organizing around this issue, and it hadn't really been covered in the media.
The Jena Six case was another that I heard about from local activists who were working on the case; no one else had written about it before, other than the local newspaper there. But I heard about it because of people who were doing this work, writing and talking about it.
Do you feel like there's a gap between the kind of communities you're working with and most of the mainstream press? A serious structural problem? Is there a solution you advocate?
I do think there are structural problems. There's not an easy solution, but I think the fact that our media is part of this profit model is a major problem. It's ultimately about advertising dollars, and I think that media is a basic need like health care and education and housing, in a way. We need it to make our society function. And the more all of those things shift toward a profit model, the worse off we all are.
I think media's definitely in crisis in this country. Magazines and newspapers are folding left and right. The newsrooms are getting cut back almost everywhere; the model of Fox News seems to be successful and therefore is replicated.
There are some great folks working on local media. But an example of how it really failed in the post-Katrina period is that you had an editor with the local paper, the Times-Picayune, who, after Katrina, stumbled upon a scene where he saw a group of officers standing above the bodies of two black men on the ground -- he assumed they were dead -- and the officers grabbed his notebook and chased him away. And he never wrote that story. We had a staffer with a daily paper stumble on the incident and he only wrote about it almost four years later, when the investigations started to come out. But he was silent all that time. It's such an indictment of our local media that that happened.
Correction/clarification: After this story was published, Jordan Flaherty acknowledged that the Times-Picayune journalist whose notebook was seized by police, Gordon Russell, did in fact note the encounter in a story written shortly afterward. (Police returned Russell's notebook, and a camera taken from a photographer who was also at the scene, after a brief period.) Russell's encounter was also discussed in a New York Times account at the time, and he later testified about it in a federal civil-rights case, which concerned allegations that New Orleans police had a practice of threatening or arresting citizens who observe or record police conduct.
What was the most surprising thing that you found when you were working on these stories?
I'm often a cynical person, and I don't have a lot of illusions about, for example, the role of police in New Orleans. But I kept being surprised that these stories I'd hear kept turning out to be true.
When I first heard after Katrina that there were officers on the major bridge outside of New Orleans firing on people, keeping people from evacuating from the city, I just couldn't believe it; to find out that that was true was incredible. And to hear about this Danziger Bridge incident, heading east from New Orleans, where officers killed two and wounded four and planted evidence, invented witnesses, had secret meetings where they conspired to get their story straight -- that that ended up being true as well was just incredible. It's something where, in a film or a fiction story you might not believe it.
But I've also been amazed at how people at the grassroots have fought and have come back with very little federal support. The fact that hundreds of thousands of people have come back to New Orleans with very little help from the government, and the fact that communities have brought people back and these brass bands and social aid and pleasure clubs -- these community institutions -- have been able to come back against such incredible odds is a testament to the power of the grassroots of the city, and really worth celebrating.

Following my Tinkerbell makeup look, I did a Princess Jasmine inspired look. I say inspired because I used the colours in her outfit rather than just copy the makeup on her face..
I posted a picture of this look on my instagram and it was quite popular so I thought I'd do a quick post on it!
I primed my lids, then packed on a turquoise shimmery shadow. I used a bright but dark blue shadow in my outer corner and crease, then blended that out to my socket using a fluffy brush and baby blue shadow. I darkened my crease with a matte black eyeshadow and blended the hell out of it! I then filled in my brows using a dark blue pencil to keep in with the blue theme, and applied a shimmery white shadow on my brow bone.
I wanted this look to be kind of Arabian, so I lined my top lash line with a gel liner, and winged it out at the end. I also took the liner into my tear duct. I lined my lower lash line and joined it up in the corners and created a smaller flick underneath the original flick. I used the same turquoise shadow I started with to blend underneath my lower lash line. Then I chucked on a load of mascara. Voila
Hope you enjoyed this look!

Last month our ABW community held a bracket style tournament to find the best Black Mirror episode. The tournament received hundreds of votes and comments. I will be posting some of the opinions from our members on the episodes below. While this list isn't exactly how I would order it, I do respect the list created by the people.
Before I proceed with discussing the show, let's do a quick summary of what the show Black Mirror is about. Some of you may have never seen the show but have heard of it and wants to know what exactly is Black Mirror. The show is an anthology that first aired in the UK. Being that it's an anthology every episode is it's own story with new characters. However, it was recently revealed that all of the shows take place in the same universe. A central theme of the show is technology and how it can end up doing us more harm than good in the near future. Some would call it a dark science fiction show, because on a lot of levels it is. However, it's a show that even people who aren't into science fiction or fantasy shows will enjoy.
Black Mirror shows the viewers how we can and are being consumed with technology. From people willing to do whatever it takes to get a few hundred likes on social media to us losing our basic social skills. It's somewhat a modern day version of Twilight Zone. If you're interested in checking out the show of course you can find it on Netflix.
Voted on by the members of the ABW community, the 5th best Black Mirror episode so far in the series is Playtest. For those who've yet to see the episode I'll try my best to spare you of the spoilers. With that said, go watch the show! Playtest is about a 30 or so year old american man who travels abroad to get away after dealing with the lost of his father. His father suffered badly from alzheimer's and we learn later in the episode he now feared following the same path as his dad. He meets a woman there and smashes. In need of cash, he signs up to work to at a game testing company the girl he smashed recommended. Then the fu*kery begins.
There's many things to love about the episode as a whole. The attention to detail in this episode is phenomenal. Everything that is shown on the screen and is said to the main character Cooper plays a part. If you truly enjoy storytelling and how multiple things become linked at the conclusion then you'll enjoy Playtest. Everything from one of the employees at the game testing job wearing a spider t-shirt to the magazines on the wall played a significant role. Even the fact that his father having alzheimer's seemed to have little relevance in the story while watching the first half and then learn it's been the biggest theme of the episode this whole time.
Playtest is also Black Mirror's only episode that can truly fall into the horror genre. I watched this episode with my girl and she was screaming like Tyrese in concert (I love you baby lol). Playtest is definitely a mind blowing experience. While some love the multiple story twist at the end of the episode, there are some who didn't enjoy it as much.
The triple twist at the end was a lil much. It had 3 different endings.
The 2nd ending woulda been better imo (ending w/ him going home to his mom)
But it instead went with the 3rd ending to get a joke off…. Saying he "called mom"
There were a few minor problems during the middle of the ep too but im not to picky about that. Most eps seem to have minor plotholes
– Goat from the ABW community
All in all it's a great episode from a great show. I personally have it as my #1 favorite Black Mirror episode so far, but I'm not mad at our list. Well I'm lying, because there is one episode in that was voted into the top 5 best episodes of Black Mirror so far that I feel has no reason being in the discussion. I'm not going to say which episode I'm talking about because if you continue reading this top 5 countdown you'll know exactly which one I'm talking about.
Now let's get back to Playtest. As I stated earlier his father's alzheimer's plays a significant role within the story. For those who've watched, you'll remember when he was trapped inside the room towards the end. The woman began to ask him simple questions about his life that he couldn't answer. Even basic answers like his name he couldn't answer, which is when he started to freak out. You have to remember (no pun), that the game is created so that it knows your fears and uses it against you. I also appreciate how they incorporated many different games into the episode that only gamers would recognize. Even the haunted house used in the episode was adopted from the gaming world.
Not only from an attention to detail standpoint was the writing brilliant but also on a surface level. I've traveled abroad. Something like what happened to Cooper could easily happen to anyone in a foreign country. You're strapped for cash and looking for a quick way to get some bread, only to never be heard from again. If we're being completely honest stranger things are already taking place, ie human trafficking , etc. For anyone who enjoys psychological thrillers I highly recommend this episode.
Of course it's never too late to drop your input on this episode or the show as a whole. If you would like to join the ongoing debate come here to check it out. Let us know which episodes you feel should be in the top 5. We will most likely be dropping #4 from our list later this week, so stay tuned.

Prior to the release of Avengers: Infinity War, screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely revealed that each Infinity Stone that Thanos came to possess would have some cost attached, and now they've revealed there was a physical price for using all six Infinity Stones at the same time.
In an interview with Collider, Markus and McFeely were asked if Thanos paid a physical price for using all of the stones at once. "That's an immense amount of energy," Markus replied. "There's a reason why other people haven't done this. Because I think it'll kill you. So the strongest guy in the universe has to be the one to do it. And I don't think he'll be doing much with that arm."
RELATED: Infinity War Writers Explain What Happened to Sharon Carter
In Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos performs the deadly finger-snap using all six Infinity Stones after Thor drives Stormbreaker into his chest. Thanos is then transported to an ethereal plane inside the Soul Stone where he has a vision of a young Gamora, who asks him if he did it and what did it cost, to which Thanos responded, "Everything."
When Thanos returns from the ethereal plane, the Gauntlet is completely mangled, smoking and blackened, damaging his left arm dramatically. According to Markus, the damage caused by the Gauntlet is severe enough to significantly limit his ability to use his left arm. Thanos paid a steep price for accomplishing his goal to wipe out half of humanity, losing the Black Order, his favorite daughter Gamora and the use of his left arm in the process. We'll have to wait and see if Avengers 4 follows up on this new development regarding Thanos' damaged arm.

Everybody is talking about cybersecurity: People are more afraid of having their bank accounts hacked or payment cards cloned than they are of getting a serious illness or being burglarized, according to a survey of more than 12,000 consumers by HSBC. Meanwhile, in the wake of the Equifax breach, research from the Identity Theft Resource Center and CyberScout shows that consumer trust is eroding. Nearly half of consumers surveyed said they were confused about what to do after learning their data had been compromised. Three-quarters of respondents reported feeling frustrated and annoyed, angry or anxious. Only 11.5 percent said they felt confident that they would be O.K., even after receiving credit or identity monitoring services.
In a world where data security is so closely connected with trust, cybersecurity is critical to your success. This is why CO-OP is laser-focused on this issue, and why so much of our investment today is rooted in developing the talent and technology needed to protect your valuable member and account data and maintain your members' trust.
Cybersecurity across the enterprise
Security isn't a new priority for CO-OP. Because this challenge is so vital, it has always been our focus. But new challenges with cybersecurity call for new approaches. And recently, the frequency, pervasiveness and scale of cybercrime has been astonishing:
- The recent Equifax breach compromised a staggering 145 million records.
- Yahoo announced recently that virtually all 3 billion of its accounts were affected in a 2013 breach.
- 43 percent of financial services companies surveyed by PwC in 2016 suffered a phishing attack. Phishing was the number one vector of cyberattack in 2016.
- Last fall, an army of compromised IoT devices carried out a large-scale DDoS attack.
- On May 12, 2017, WannaCry ransomware infected roughly 230,000 computers in 150 countries. This was less than six months ago and it already feels like old news.
In this environment, cybersecurity can't be a departmental concern: It's an enterprise-wide mission. Among the key moves we've made this year is to build out a team of experts to manage CO-OP's data infrastructure and internal processes to help ensure the security of our data and yours. Among these key arrivals are Paul Love, Chief Information Security Officer, reporting to Kari Wilfong, CFO/CAO; and Matthew Maguire, Chief Data Officer, reporting to Nick Calcanes, Chief Information Officer, who also joined CO-OP earlier this year.
We are complementing our information security upgrades with new machine learning technology to detect fraud on behalf of you and your members. Machine learning gives us the speed, accuracy, capacity and computational power to make sense of large pools of data. It's a critical tool in this era of cybercrime.
In addition, we're leveraging our expertise to build the best security processes and features into everything we do. For example, by the end of the year we will roll out MyCO-OP, a new client portal that will provide credit unions with secure, universal access to CO-OP applications through a single, highly intuitive user interface. Improving our client experience was our primary focus in developing MyCO-OP. But we've also been driven to build in the best security to support that enhanced experience. MyCO-OP is not only streamlined and easy to use, but also PCI compliant, with multifactor authentication and Identity as a Service (IDaaS) security features designed in.
Sharing our expertise is one of the ways we hope to help our clients and the credit union community raise awareness – and effectiveness – around cybersecurity. Through thought leadership, industry news and even one-on-one consultation, we want to work together with you to track trends, share information and maximize the security of your data.
If you haven't already, I invite you to check out what Paul Love has had to say this month on preparing a response to an Equifax-style breach, protecting your members' trust, and attending the nation's foremost hacking conference.
We're not just safeguarding our members' information and assets, but also their hard-earned trust. Financial institutions operate in a world of threat and risk today. Credit unions aren't immune to those risks, but our industry does have a significant advantage in the area of trust. Our member-centric values and collaborative spirit have always set us apart. At a time when cybersecurity awareness can translate into frustration, annoyance, anger or anxiety, that differentiation is gold. When we match our good intentions with constant improvement and action, we secure a valued place in our members' financial lives. That's an asset worth protecting.

It's the least complicated thing to discover car shipping companies around St. Martinville when you have an Internet connection and a little determination. Car shipping businesses from St. Martinville, LA strongly promote online as this is one of the more essential marketplaces. With a click of your mouse button you will have a list of every one of the companies which operate in St. Martinville and their price ranges. But be aware, a less expensive deal does not mean you will get the best deal. You will discover a good number of low cost vehicle transport firms in St. Martinville, LA, but no one appears to vouch for them.
After that comes the tricky part. You'll want to look into the firm you are interested in. It's easy to come across everything you need from online critiques. This means you will need to take notice of the stuff that troubles you the most. Don't neglect to look for past mishaps the St. Martinville, LA firm has been involved into. Lots of vehicle transport businesses from St. Martinville, LA already went through a lot of transformations over time.
All things considered the hard work has been completed, it is time for the booking. Don't forget to request a confirmation email or fax since this may come in handy. Your car needs then to be set up for transport. Don't leave anything in your car, especially valuable things. These may get stolen or you may require them during the car transportation. One more thing to keep in mind is to empty your fuel tank. In this way the load gets lighter, the firm saves money on fuel therefore you pay a lot less for their assistance. As a way to see the pre existent damage on the car, you should wash it ahead of transportation.
If the St. Martinville, LA car transport company sends the carrier for the pick up, make sure the driver examines your automobile for pre-existing damage. Every little thing wrong with the automobile is documented on a vehicle condition report which you also get. Hold on to yours since this can come in handy in St. Martinville. Also, carry out yet another check for damages when your automobile comes. Do not overlook anything as this is your only possibility to claim destruction. If that is the situation, ask the carrier to note in the condition report, sign it and give you a copy.
Overall, there are tons of good vehicle shipping businesses in St. Martinville, LA. You just have to worry about planning the day you want the shipment to go away and show up. Don't accept cheaper deals when they are not really offering the same top quality services as others. Never pay before the car has showed up!

Carmel Beach
For many locals, this is the true treasure and focal point of our village. Although Carmel is not noted for balmy beach weather, it is deservedly famed for having what some consider the most beautiful beach in California. The sand is exceedingly soft and bright white. If the skies are clear the water is a spectacular bright sapphire blue. Cold water and coastal fog keep the huge crowds suffered on many California beaches away from Carmel, making it a wonderful place for those looking forward to a meditative walk and immersion in the natural beauty of this unique piece of the California coastline.
Beach walkers enjoy a breathtaking view of Point Lobos to the south and the awe inspiring view of the the Pebble Beach golf course to the north (considered by some to be the 'Sistine Chapel of golf'). The beach is just over a mile long and your feet can be in the soft sand after just a 3 minute stroll from the Sea View porch.

Recently I haven't been able to treat myself for awhile; so, I decided to make a wish list of all of the stuff I keep on seeing but have prevented myself from purchasing. You see the current dilemma is that I am trying to save up for a car all on my own and well i'm half way there I guess. In the meantime I have built up a small collage of images of the beauty items and accessories that I am patiently waiting to buy. With my birthday coming up next month, i'm hoping I can get a few of these things ticked off my wish list.
As you can probably tell from the images a lot of the things I have got on here are quite upmarket and that is because I feel as if I need to upgrade a little. As I am turning 18 next month I think that this entitles me to have a big splurge and own things a bit more luxurious. By no means am I rich in anyway and if I do go and make purchases on these products I am not showing off either, these are things that I hope to save up for with my own money and there is a lot more of this stuff which is more expensive. So, initially I believe that I have made some smart choices.
The first thing that is on my wish list is Prada Sunglasses. I think it's about time that I invest into some designer sunglasses which are real instead of those fake RayBans that everyone bought in Spain and Greece for a few euros and pretending we looked great. I must admit I am pretty rubbish with looking after my sunglasses; however, I think them being a lot more on the pricier side I will value this accessory a bit more. In addition to this, I believe that these sunglasses are great for any outfit with the elegant cat eye in the shade black they will go with absolutely everything no doubt.
The next thing on my wish list is the Mansur Gavriel Bucket Bag. Now this bag is a game changer completely. I have never owned a designer handbag and if I were to get my first one it would definitely be this one. Again, it is Black so I am playing it very safe as it would be a big purchase it would need to suit all of my outfits. What really won me over with this bag and not any other bucket bag is the red interior. It is almost impossible to find a bag identical to this with a red interior and to be honest even if I do find one it does no way beat the way this bag looks – it kind of reminds me of a Louboutin.
Now skincare is something I absolutely suck at and should probably stick to more often. That is why I have added the Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel to my wish list as well. With a lot of good reviews and recommendations I just think it's my time to try it out now.
Rosefield watches are something that popped up on my Facebook timeline and I was immediately interested in. I am stuck between getting another Olivia Burton watch; however, in silver with a black face or this one. At the moment, I really want to try out something new, i'm not a massive fan of gold jewellery or jewellery in general so if I were to pick myself up a new watch it would definitely be silver.
I'm still at that stage where the only brushes I own are Real Techniques, I think it is time that I take a new venture and try out the Zoeva brushes. They look so picturesque and I have heard a lot of good things about these brushes so that brand sounds promising. The Rose Gold collection is the one that stands out the most to me.
Charlotte Tilbury is an amazing makeup artist and i'm hoping that her products are too. I was in Selfridges not to long ago and was very close to picking up the magic foundation; therefore, I have put it on my wish list not because the packaging is pretty but because I wanted to try out her makeup and I thought the foundation would be a great place to start.
Lastly, Marc Jacobs Decadence. Everything from the scent, to the bottle design to the longevity that the fragrance stays on is just brilliant. Sadly, it is a very pricey perfume – which I am willing to invest in but just not now.
So there was just a few things that I have on my wish list at the moment.
What is on yours?
Hey there! My name is Cynthia, a 21-year old Accounting and Finance student based in Kent, England. I blog about all things Beauty, Fashion and Lifestyle.

What Causes Mesothelioma Cancer? – Mesothelioma is a rare and deadly cancer caused by asbestos. While other risk factors can increase the chances of developing mesothelioma, asbestos is the only scientifically proven cause of the disease.
How Asbestos Causes Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma develops in the mesothelium, a thin membrane encompassing the body's internal organs and cavities. It is caused by exposure to asbestos, often in a workplace environment, though exposure can also take place at home, school, or another location.
In the most common scenario, asbestos fibers are inhaled and eventually become embedded in the lining of the lungs, abdomen, or heart, causing harmful inflammation that eventually leads to the formation of tumors. In some cases, swallowing asbestos fibers could contribute to a type of mesothelioma that forms in the abdomen, known as peritoneal mesothelioma. Asbestos may also travel through the lymph nodes to other parts of the body, such as the pericardium, the mesothelial layer surrounding the heart.
As generally understood by researchers, asbestos can cause DNA damage both directly and indirectly. Directly, asbestos interferes with the mitosis process in cell division, which can cause cellular damage and mutation. Indirectly, asbestos can cause mesothelial cells to release mutagenic reactive oxygen and nitrogen, which also causes mutation.
The process by which asbestos causes mesothelioma can take a very long time. In most cases, it takes anywhere from 10 to 50 years for mesothelioma to develop after the asbestos exposure occurs. However, in a small number of cases, the latency period is much shorter, and there have even been known cases of mesothelioma in children and young teenagers.
Some Asbestos Types May Cause Mesothelioma More Often
Asbestos is a generic name for six types of silicate minerals that share common properties. Some studies have shown that certain forms of asbestos may cause mesothelioma at greater rates than others.
One early study, published in 1986, suggested that crocidolite asbestos is about 14 times more potent than other forms of asbestos when it comes to causing both pleural mesothelioma and peritoneal mesothelioma. However, later reviews of the same data indicated that the incidence rate of mesothelioma based on asbestos type was actually much closer.
The most recent consensus among medical professionals is that amphibole asbestos forms – in particular, crocidolite – are more potent than serpentine forms of asbestos, such as chrysotile. Even so, both forms of asbestos are highly carcinogenic. As the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has reported, there is no safe level of asbestos exposure, regardless of the type.
Other Causes and Contributing Factors
Asbestos is by and large the most significant cause of mesothelioma, with at least 80% of mesothelioma patients having a known history of asbestos exposure (and the rest possibly being exposed without their knowledge). However, studies have shown that there are a few other environmental risk factors that can contribute to a mesothelioma diagnosis.
Asbestos-Like Minerals
Asbestos is a class of silicate minerals, and other silicate minerals have been linked to mesothelioma. Erionite, a form of zeolite, in particular has been associated with the disease, based primarily on a study of the mineral where it occurs naturally in Cappadocia, Turkey.
Simian Virus 40 (SV40)
One study showed that in more than half of mesothelioma cases, the patient was also infected with SV40. Further research has indicated that SV40 may contribute to the development of mesothelioma, though it does not appear to cause mesothelioma on its own.
Smoking itself is not a cause of mesothelioma. However, individuals who smoke and who are exposed to asbestos have a much higher risk of developing asbestos-caused lung cancer (a different malignanlcy than mesothelioma).
Radiation Exposure
In a handful of cases, mesothelioma patients have claimed their cancer was caused by radiation exposure, rather than asbestos exposure. While radiation has been linked to the development of some cancers, the link between radiation and mesothelioma is yet to be confirmed.
Carbon Nanotubes
A few studies have looked at carbon nanotubes, and other high aspect ratio nanoparticles (HARNs), as potential causes of mesothelioma. However, additional studies need to be completed to look at different lengths, shapes, and other factors before attributing these to be causes of mesothelioma.
If you have been exposed to asbestos or any of these other risk factors, or if you have any other concerns that you are at risk of developing mesothelioma, request a free guide to learn more.

Centers of Excellence
By supporting Centers of Excellence for science-based tobacco control research and harm reduction at academic centers around the world, the Foundation aims to develop the next generation of leaders and institutions that will accelerate the end of smoking. Knowledge gaps are impeding progress in harm reduction. The Foundation supports research in areas such as the health impact of reduced-harm products versus combustible cigarettes, the impacts of risk misperceptions on the decisions made by smokers and policy makers, and the effectiveness of various approaches to harm reduction. Additionally, the Foundation supports efforts that address ethical, legal, and social issues that could hamper progress in helping smokers quit combustible cigarettes.
In August 2018, the Foundation provided a grant to Dr. Marewa Glover, one of New Zealand's most renowned tobacco control and public health researchers, to develop a Centre of Research Excellence in New Zealand. The international research center focuses on ending smoking among the Maori population, indigenous people in New Zealand. The Centre has a vision to end smoking among all indigenous people worldwide.
Maori women of childbearing age still have the highest rates of smoking in New Zealand. Dr. Glover will be leading a study on promoting smoke-free pregnancies among Maori women, thus continuing a theme she has been pursuing for over a decade. Meanwhile, her team has begun mapping smoking rates of all indigenous people. Several distinct studies are planned for the first year.

State Colleges
UCF and Group of Five fans might be excited about playoff expansion, but CFP says wait
College football's board met Monday for its annual meeting to discuss the current playoff meeting.
Bad news if you're a fan of UCF or any other Group of Five program.
The current four-team College Football Playoff format is staying put for the foreseeable future.
CFP Board of Managers chairman Mark Keenum issued a statement that said "it's way too soon — much too soon — to know if that is even a possibility," regarding playoff expansion.
UCF won 25 consecutive games over two seasons before losing this year's Fiesta Bowl to LSU. The Knights were shut out of the playoff picture two straight seasons, despite their winning streak. UCF athletic director Danny White and president Dale Whittaker have voiced displeasure with the current playoff system with White referring to it as an invitational shortly after this year's playoff field was announced.
"It's fair to say the speculation about expansion has outdistanced the reality of what the commissioners and the presidents have discussed," Keenum's statement read.
Keenum's statement continued to say a decision made down the road would fall to university presidents, but "we're not there."
Keenum also said the CFP is in a 12-year contract that they're happy with.
Playoff expansion talk began heating up during December when The Athletic reported several power-brokers of college football insisting it was time to start discussing a change to the current format.
The Big Ten hasn't fielded a team in the CFP the past two seasons. The Pac-12 was shutout the past two years, too.
Monday's meeting was held in the hours prior to this year's CFP national title game between No. 2-ranked Clemson and No. 1-ranked Alabama. That was the third CFP title game between the two programs in the past four years.

Why a RIC Team is Important in Today's Fire Service
Life safety on the fire ground is top priority not only for the citizens affected by the incident but also us as the first responders on the scene. By establishing that priority early on, it sets the tone for how firefighters can operate at that given scene. Each of us want to be safe and ensure we go home to our families and so do the ones overseeing the scene, they want and expect the same for us and themselves. Unforeseen circumstances could always arise in this line of work while working in an immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH)atmosphere that could injury, trap or cause a firefighter(s) to go missing and because of this a dedicated team of specially trained firefighters or what we know as a rapid intervention crew (RIC), are to be established and maintained to rescue a fellow firefighter in distress. Going even further than that, this team must be incorporated into their incident management system and accountability system as per NFPA 2014. So what is the reason for this dedicated crew to standby incase a firefighter goes down?
Here's are 5 tragic events that changed the course of the fire service and opened the eyes for the need for rapid invention implementation.
1. Columbus, Ohio on July 25, 1987. One firefighter fell through the floor into the burning basement, as conditions deteriorated and several rescue attempts using hoselines, ropes and ladders failed, rescue attempts were halted and this firefighter perished. The "Nance Drill" was then created from these events after it claimed the life of Acting Officer Firefighter John Nance.
2. The Hackensack Ford Fire in Hackensack, NJ on July 1, 1988. Five firefighters get lost and trapped while fighting a fire in the car dealership after the truss roof collapsed and ultimately claiming their lives.
3. Denver, CO on September 28, 1992. One firefighter became separated from his crew and due to a collapse, intense heat and heavy smoke this firefighter was trapped in a storage room with an aisle only 28 inches wide. Firefighters quickly setup ground ladders and removed window bars but it was ultimately too late. This firefighter perished on that day. The "Denver Drill" was then created from these events after it claimed the life of Firefighter Mark Langvardt.
4. Passaic, NJ on May 9, 2001. One firefighter became trapped while searching for victims on the second floor of an apartment building.
5. Philadelphia, PA on August 20, 2004. Two firefighters were killed and a third was injured after becoming trapped in the basement of a one-alarm fire.
All 3 of these tragic events had no rapid intervention crew established.
There are many reasons a rapid intervention crew could be activated on the fire ground and unfortunately this team of specially training firefighters are entering probably the most dangerous area of the structure; the place where a firefighter(s) is in distress and calls for help, otherwise known to the fire service as a "MAYDAY". The reasons for a "mayday" vary but each one should be acted upon quickly and efficiently.
Reasons for a "MAYDAY" and the activation of RIC.
1. Firefighters run out of air. Possibly due to large areas being worked in.
2. Excessive heat which could cause a heat stroke or a cardiac event.
3. Lack of visibility leading to crew separation and firefighter disorientation.
4. Crew separation due to the possible complexity of the floor plan.
5. Structural collapse
At any given moment one of these could be messaged over the radio to the Incident Commander and the activation of the rapid intervention crew will need to take place. In order for RIC to be readily available to go to work, a few things need to take place in the anticipation something could go wrong at any moment.
1. The first 10-15 minutes of a fire is most critical. Have RIC established early on and the RIC officer meet face to face with the IC for any pertinent information that could assist them in their efforts should they be activated. Establishing RIC from the start will help them with deployment and setup time. Also, most RIC established are outside agencies and will need time for travel.
2. The RIC officer should establish a staging area for the crew and all their necessary equipment along with devising a game plan should they be activated.
3. Develop your own size up of the structure and make it continual throughout the duration of the job since things change.
4. Determine how many crews are in the structure and the number of manpower on each crew. This will help with your S&T if you should be put to work.
5. Assist with egress. Take a proactive approach and setup ground ladders for crews operating on upper floors.
6. Time is critical. Stabilizing the situation quickly is the goal and working with the IC to develop a game plan for efficient firefighter removal (quickly yet systematically) before entering the structure will assist in those efforts.
7. Bring the tools that are warranted for the situation. As mentioned earlier, RIC has a staging area for crew and tools so it is possible and necessary to stage more tools than you'll need to go in with yet having excess tools readily available is just as important.
Tools of RIC
1. Staging tarp for tools
2. RIC Pack – rescue SCBA
3. Forcible entry tools such as a Halligan bar or other pry tools
4. Stokes basket
5. 150-foot search rope
6. Wire cutters
7. Saws (i.e K-12, chainsaw)
8. Thermal imaging camera
9. Box lights
10. Strobe light to identify egress
11. Life-saving rope/life belt
While there is no viable proof that having an established RIC in place will prevent firefighter fatalities on the fire ground, it is necessary in having one established and ready to go as a way to assist with the rescue and removal of a down fellow firefighter in hopes of a successful save. Any time departments are working on large structures, it is best to have rapid intervention crews on each side of the structure for quicker deployments with hopes of mitigating firefighter fatalities. Further, having an established RIC is a fire service best practice for all scenarios with firefighters working in an IDLH environment. May the lives of the firefighters mentioned in this article and the lives of all the firefighters who have gone before us in the line of duty, may they rest in peace.
Until next time; work hard, stay safe & live inspired.

GARDNER -- A New Hampshire man was arrested yesterday afternoon by New Hampshire State Police and charged in the Nov. 7 robbery of a bank in the city.
Matthew Pinion, 30, of 650 Old Walpole Road, Surry, N.H., was arrested on a warrant for unarmed robbery while masked. He is being charged with the robbery of Fidelity Bank, 330 Main St., according to a news release from Gardner Police Chief Neil C. Erickson.
Mr. Pinion was charged with being a fugitive from justice and is being held in New Hampshire while awaiting further action by the Worcester district attorney�s office and the state of New Hampshire.
In the Gardner robbery, a man wearing a baseball cap and a fake moustache handed a clerk a note demanding $10,000. He warned the clerk to stay calm and not include dye packs in with the money or set off alarms �or bodies will drop.� He did not show a weapon, but got away with $3,289.
The wording on the note was similar to a note passed in August by a man who robbed the TD Banknorth branch in the Shaw�s Supermarket in Watertower Plaza in Leominster. Police later said they believe the two robberies and a bank robbery in Brattleboro, Vt., were connected. In all three cases, the man who robbed the banks was carrying a newspaper to conceal the stolen money.
The arrest by Mr. Pinion was a coordinated effort by Gardner Police Department detectives Lt. Gerald Poirier and Officer Jeffrey Brown, Massachusetts and New Hampshire State Police, Worcester District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr.�s office and the FBI.
Chief Erickson said the investigation is ongoing.
AYER � Investigators from the state fire marshal�s office will be back on the job today, trying to determine the cause of a four-alarm fire at Moore�s Lumber Yard on West Main Street early Tuesday evening.
Fire Marshal Stephen D. Coan last night said the fire remains under investigation after a night and full day of interviews and analyses.
�There isn�t even a preliminary cause at this time,� he said.
�One observation I have is, because of the nature of this building and the congestion around it, this fire had the potential to expand in and around the complex. And it was due to the quick response of the Ayer Fire Department and all of the surrounding mutual aid communities that it did not spread to adjacent buildings,� Mr. Coan said. �They did a tremendous job containing the fire to that building.�
Fire crews from Groton, Harvard, Lunenburg, Shirley and other towns joined Ayer in battling the blaze, which was reported around 7 p.m. Tuesday. There were no injuries reported, but the lumber business was destroyed. No cost estimates were available.
LEOMINSTER � Several streets will be closed Saturday afternoon for the city�s Holiday Stroll downtown.
From 2:15 to 6:15 p.m. Saturday, the following streets will be closed: Central Street from the Foster-Healey building to Monument Square, Park Street, Monument Square, and Main Street to the Post Office.
Mechanic Street, West Street, Columbus Street, Depot Square and Merriam Avenue will be open with police details at most intersections.
For the stroll, a parade will start at 2:30 p.m. at Central Street, moving through Monument Square and ending on Main Street. There will be a marshmallow roast, ice-carving demonstrations and letter writing to Santa. Mayor Dean J. Mazzarella will roast chestnuts.
The city�s tree-lighting ceremony will start at 6 p.m. on the Common at Monument Square.
The activities will take place Sunday in the event of bad weather Saturday.
FITCHBURG � The city�s Historical Society is sponsoring a tour of noteworthy homes and buildings across the city Saturday.
Susan M. Roetzer, executive director of the Fitchburg Historical Society, said several historic homes and establishments will be open for viewing during the annual tour, scheduled for 2 to 6 p.m. Tickets are $18 for members and $20 for nonmembers.
Among the attractions are the Daniel Harris house and the John Harris house, both on Fifth Massachusetts Turnpike, and built in 1826 and 1780, respectively. The tour also includes the Isaiah Putnam House, built in 1790, on Pearl Hill Road, and a Victorian house at 22 Cedar St.
Also featured on the tour is the Johnsonia Building on Main Street, a former hotel built in 1896 that has been renovated into residential units. Christ Church, also on Main Street and built in 1868, is also part of the tour.
Ms. Roetzer said the tour will be followed by a reception at the society�s headquarters at 50 Grove St. Tickets are available at the society and at City Hall, and buyers will be given maps of the historic sites on the tour.
LEOMINSTER � Parents and students who want to learn more about bullying and discipline in schools can attend a meeting tonight in City Hall and hear from speakers, including a juvenile court judge and the district attorney.
The Leominster Special Education Parent Advisory Council will present the program �Bullying and Discipline� at 7 tonight in the Tata Auditorium of Leominster City Hall, 25 West St.
Sandra Osborne, an educational advocate from Lunenburg who completed her master�s thesis on bullying, will make a Power Point presentation.
Speakers will be Juvenile Court Judge Luis G. Perez; Worcester District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr.; Assistant District Attorney Erin Donnelly; state Rep. Jennifer L. Flanagan, D-Leominster; and Jamie Hellen, chief of staff for state Sen. Robert A. Antonioni, D-Leominster.
This event is open to all.
FITCHBURG � The city has added a week to its yard waste pickup schedule after trees clung to their leaves longer than usual, Mayor Dan H. Mylott said yesterday.
The city�s last yard waste pickup will be held from Monday to Dec. 7. Yard waste will be collected on residents� regular trash day in a separate pickup, and waste must be placed in barrels or paper bags.
�We want all residents to take advantage of next week�s additional yard waste pickup. This will be the last yard waste collection for the year,� he said.

Time to Buy Men's Wearhouse?
On Tuesday's edition of Investor Beat, host Chris Hill and Fool analysts Matt Koppenheffer and David Hanson take a hard-hitting look at today's biggest investing news.
Last month, Joseph A. Bank offered to buy rival Men's Wearhouse for $2.3 billion. Men's Wearhouse immediately rejected the offer but today turned the tables and made an offer to buy out Joseph A. Bank for $1.5 billion. Both stocks were up on the news. Is now the time for investors to get in on Men's Wearhouse? In the lead story on today's Investor Beat, Matt and David look at why the deal makes sense, and whether they would want to be a shareholder of the new merged company.

Can software quality pros shore up network security threats?
Kevin Beaver explains how to handle the security threats that may lurk in the network infrastructure and pop up in application security testing.
How do network attacks impact the security of enterprise Web applications? How can software quality pros do our part to defend against network security threats?
Like a house with a poorly constructed foundation, a Web application that's running in an environment with vulnerable operating systems, databases, and network infrastructure devices is merely there to widen the attack surface and facilitate problems. Unmanaged network security threats make application security practically an illusion.
Although, I find fewer vulnerabilities below layer 7, they still exist and are often there waiting to be exploited. I'm referring to things like:
Mobile application security
You may also want to bone up on OWASP's top ten list of security vulnerabilities for the mobile enterprise.
- Databases and other services exposed to the Internet
- Weak, blank, or default passwords on firewalls, operating systems, and databases
- Missing patches and poor malware protection on servers and workstations that access your applications
- Improperly configured firewall rulebases, often containing stale rules that permit overreach and unauthorized access
- Lack of denial of service protection which can hamper even the most resilient of hosting providers
- Minimal audit logging and no security event oversight or correlation
As a software quality professional, you're about as disconnected from network security as network security professionals are from development and QA. You can't force people's networks to be secure but you can still help make a difference. Work with your team to document a set of recommendations for securely deploying your applications. List out the common flaws and then list out the solutions.
I've found that people simply not thinking about security problems (because they're too busy doing their own jobs) is a major contributor to the information risks we face. Getting network security threats on their radar is half the battle. Beyond that, producing a secure Web presence – at layer 7 – is all you can do.
