Hadoop and Lucene proved to be winning combination for solving big-data reporting challenges at zanox. The former is used to offline analyze and extract valuable information from billions of tracking events. The latter provides sub-second online access to extracted data while serving millions of users. Together they optimize the usage of resources where Lucene requests help improve Hadoop jobs.
Zanox tracking system produces more than 1 billion of different events daily. The collected data is analysed by Hadoop processing jobs that extract valuable information, being used to support daily business of publishers and advertisers. Lucene based distributed reporting afterwards offers a real-time access and the post-processing of the results of Hadoop jobs. The real-time access is based on Lucene state-of-the range and term filters to efficiently select records from the given time-period and that have other needed properties. These pre-selected records are then combined, joined and summarized in order to build easy-to-use reports.
The built reporting system is able to generate reports in sub-second time mainly by using sophisticated request-routing techniques that take care of the resource consumption. Instead of propagating the received request to all searchers, the implemented request-routing is carefully selecting searchers that are the most suitable for a given task. The suitability is measured by the number of records that need to be processed and the cost of post-processing that need to be performed. Such routing is both speeding-up processing of a particular request and keeping the majority of searchers free for concurrent requests.
The analysis of already processed requests provides data about how reporting system is performing. This is used for both tuning parameters of the used routing techniques, lunching additional searchers that are optimised for processing inefficient requests, and destroying others that happened to be underutilised due to the changed user interests. This log-analysis completes search, discovery and analytics loop, which constantly improves experience that customers have while using zanox distributed reporting system.

AFC Cup: Mohun Bagan seek to open account with win over Abahani Limited Dhaka
Mohun Bagan will be desperate to open their account in this year's AFC Cup when they take on Abahani Limited Dhaka in a group stage match.football Updated: Apr 03, 2017 23:08 IST
That Mohun Bagan and Bengaluru FC, India's two representatives in the 2017 AFC Cup, are looking at Asia through different lenses was evident when the Kolkata giants said they would rest some players against Abahani Limited Dhaka.
That's what Bengaluru FC did against Mohun Bagan at the weekend in the I-League because they are focusing on the AFC Cup. Bengaluru FC play away to Maldives' Maziya on Tuesday when Mohun Bagan host the Dhaka club at Rabindra Sarovar stadium.
Mohun Bagan coach Sanjoy Sen said right-back Pritam Kotal would be rested and that central defender Anas Edathodika may start on the bench. Both played full matches for India and against Bengaluru FC last week and Sen needs them to be on the top of their game in Sunday's I-League match against East Bengal in Siliguri.
Like Abahani, Mohun Bagan lost their opener in the AFC Cup, away to Bengaluru. But what makes Sen's statement of wanting three points from Tuesday's game --- Mohun Bagan's 19th this season -- more than just talk is that the visitors are thin on match practice, have had a players' exodus and a new coach.
READ | I-League: Mohun Bagan thump Bengaluru FC 3-0 to close in on Aizawl FC
"Our season starts in July and that is a problem. I have requested the authorities (in Bangladesh) to arrange their calendar in accordance with AFC otherwise we will be with a handicap…We are still trying to find the best way to play," said Abahani's Croatian coach Drago Mamic who joined "two months ago."
Abahani also lost five players to Saif Sporting Club this term. They have two imports, Emeka Darlington of Nigeria and Welsh Jonathan Brown, available for this Group E game. Ghanaian defender Samad Youssif hasn't travelled, said Mamic. The AFC Cup permits four foreigners, including one from Asia.
Mamic is no stranger to Mohun Bagan having beaten them in the 2011 IFA Shield final when he was with Churchill Brothers. But as he said, in another context, "in football, you don't live in the past."
Duffy may be rested
Sen said three of Mohun Bagan's four foreigners will play. It is likely that Darryl Duffy, who has seven goals in the I-League, won't be among them. Sen is likely to start wide left midfielder Sony Norde, central defender Eduardo Ferreira and the industrious wide-right Katsumi Yusa.
If Duffy doesn't start, Mohun Bagan's attack will be fronted by Jeje Lalpekhlua and possibly Azharuddin Mallick who did a good job against Bengaluru FC.
Azhar's performance on Saturday showed the kind of strength in depth we have, said Sen. "We know nothing about them and hence would be cautious for the first 15-20 minutes," said Sen before iterating that full points are what he is looking for to open Mohun Bagan's account in the AFC Cup.

text: The senator will challenge President Bush in November "We say thank you to Illinois for putting us over the top in the delegate count, and for helping us to achieve our goal," Kerry said after the primary election in Illinois state that took him past the necessary 2162 delegates to win the formal nomination. Kerry has already embarked on a fierce campaign against Republican President George Bush for the 2 November election. He has been the de facto Democratic contender since sweeping nine of the 10 states, decided in the 2 March Super Tuesday votes. His main rival, Senator John Edwards, withdrew immediately after. "This night marks the opening of the general election debate about the direction of our country," Kerry said. "America deserves more than a debate full of attacks and distortions.

Wiz Khalifa & Amber Rose Reunite & Look Friendly Together In Concert — Pics
Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose let bygones be bygones as they met up with each other on Aug. 11 at his concert in Los Angeles, Calif. They certainly look happy to be in each other's company!
Looks like there's no more animosity between Wiz Khalifa, 27, and Amber Rose, 31! The two were very friendly with each other at his concert on Aug. 11 and they both looked as happy as two peas in a pod. However, these Amber and Wiz weren't the only ones who reunited that evening. A special someone was also there to see the rapper.
Sebastian, 2, tagged along with his mom to Wiz's concert! The 27-year-old has been busy on tour with Fall Out Boy, so naturally when the Boyz of Zummer concert stopped in Los Angeles, Wiz got to see his son. Once the rapper finished his set, he spent quality time with his baby mama and son. Ryan Hansen, 34, was even lucky enough to snap a happy pic with Wiz and Amber! "Proud to announce my new gig as Divorce Counselor for @mistercap and @amberrose #boysofzummer," the actor wrote on his Instagram picture. It's nice to see Amber and Wiz happy together in the same room again!
The former lovers haven't had the easiest relationship. Although they're divorced, Amber and Wiz are both trying their best to maintain a good relationship for the sake of Sebastian, an insider told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. "They are working on themselves to make things work for each other," an insider close to the pair said. "They are both realizing what they had doesn't come often and they want to work it out for the benefit of the love they have for each other and their child." It certainly looks like their relationship has gotten better, especially if Amber brought Bash to Wiz's performance and stayed after to hang out with her ex.
Amber Rose & Kris Humphries Get Cozy At Playboy Mansion Party
For fans who want to see Wiz and Amber get back together, don't hold your breath. Although the 31-year-old has mentioned in previous interviews before that she would love to get back with her ex, it doesn't really look like that's going to happen any time soon. Amber was spotted getting cozy with Kris Humphries, 30, at a Playboy Mansion party on Aug. 1, even though she's currently dating Machine Gun Kelly, 35. It's clear the mother of one is just having some fun in her personal life. At least she and Wiz are friendly again! Baby steps.
Tell us, HollywoodLifers! Do you think Wiz and Amber will get back together or will they just stay friendly for Sebastian's sake?

With television taking over for film as the creative center of Hollywood, more and more huge stars are signing on to small-screen projects.
We've already seen Halle Berry, Matthew McConaughey, Glenn Close, Kevin Costner, Laura Dern, Kevin Spacey, Viola Davis, and many more movie stars on TV shows. Well, that list just keeps getting bigger.
For fall 2016, cinema's leading men and ladies Anthony Hopkins, Isabella Rossellini, and Dermot Mulroney join talent from TV's past golden ages (Ted Danson, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kiefer Sutherland) for the next season's roster of talent.
Here's a look at the 21 biggest stars of this year's fall TV season:
Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins has a long list of cinematic successes, including "Silence of the Lambs," "Nixon," and "Remains of the Day."
HBO's "Westworld," which hopes to be the network's next dramatic hit, is an adaptation of the 1973 Michael Crichton movie of the same name. Hopkins plays the brilliant creative director of an amusement park of sorts called Westworld.
Mandy Moore first found fame as a pop star in the late '90s. She then segued her career into acting, getting rave reviews for her role in the romantic drama "A Walk to Remember" in 2002. She also starred in the indie hit "Saved!"
On "This Is Us," Moore plays a woman who finds herself pregnant with triplets.
Kristen Bell rose to fame as the smart-talking girl detective on the mid-2000s series "Veronica Mars." She went on to star in the movie version of the series, the Showtime comedy "House of Lies," and she voiced Anna in Disney's mega-hit animated film "Frozen."
On "The Good Place," Davis plays a selfish and rude woman who dies and surprisingly finds herself in heaven — a result of mistaken identity. But she'll do anything to stay.
Joel McHale is known for his standup comedy, for hosting E!'s "The Soup," and for starring on the cult comedy "Community."
On "The Great Indoors," he plays a seasoned adventure reporter who's called on to head a struggling magazine staffed with well-meaning but green millennials.
Since breaking out on the late-'90s ABC sitcom "Dharma & Greg," Jenna Elfman has starred on several series including "Damages," "1600 Penn," and "Growing Up Fisher."
She's back at ABC this fall on "Imaginary Mary," on which she plays a woman whose childhood imaginary friend returns just as she's fallen in love with a single dad of three children.
After a near-decade run on hit sitcom "King of Queens," Kevin James is back at CBS with a new comedy.
On "Kevin Can Wait," James plays a retired cop looking to get closer to his family. He soon finds that keeping his family together can be just as harrowing as his police beat.
The star of such films as "Good Will Hunting," "Circle of Friends," and "Grosse Pointe Blank," Minnie Driver was last seen on NBC's TV adaptation of "About a Boy."
Now she's a fiercely protective mom of a special-needs child with no filter between her brain and her mouth on ABC's "Speechless."
After finding early success in the late-'90s with "Friends" and recently ending his five-season run on Showtime's "Episodes," LeBlanc is back on network TV with a new comedy.
LeBlanc plays a new stay-at-home dad when his wife returns to work on "Man with a Plan."
Oscar winner Geena Davis thrilled viewers in 1991's "Thelma & Louise" and entertained millions with the 1988 classic "Beetlejuice."
With TV credits that include "Grey's Anatomy" and "Commander in Chief," Davis returns to TV with Fox's remake of "The Exorcist." She plays a woman who searches out the help of a local priest when her daughter begins to act strangely.
Dermot Mulroney has starred in big-screen hits like "My Best Friend's Wedding." On TV, he's appeared on Showtime's "Shameless," HBO"s "Enlightened," and Fox's "New Girl."
For CBS, he stars as an old-school doctor facing new-school tech changes to his hospital on "Pure Genius."
Best known for her genius turn as a romantically challenged sex columnist on HBO's "Sex and the City," Sarah Jessica Parker is back at the pay channel with "Divorce."
On the new show, she plays a woman looking for a fresh start that includes divorcing her husband.
With "24" moving on to a new leading man, Kiefer Sutherland is moving to a new network.
On ABC, he stars as a White House cabinet member who suddenly finds himself next in line to be president after a terrorist attack.
Mark-Paul Gosselaar, best known from his stint on '90s kid series "Saved by the Bell," has starred on several TV shows since, including the recently ended "Franklin & Bash" on TNT.
On "Pitch," Gosselaar plays a star baseball catcher and team captain whose chemistry with the team's new female pitcher has him walking a fine line between business and pleasure.
Jimmy Smits has starred on iconic TV shows "Dexter," "NYPD Blue," and "The West Wing." He'll also continue as part of the "Star Wars" franchise in "Rogue One."
On Fox's "24: Legacy," he plays a senator with an intimate connection to the intelligence community and his eye on the presidency.
As the daughter of actress Ingrid Bergman and Italian director Roberto Rossellini, Isabella Rossellini was born into Hollywood. The former model and actress has starred in classics such as "Blue Velvet" and modern projects like "Joy."
On Hulu drama "Shut Eye," she plays the matriarch of a family chain of crooked psychic businesses.
Best known for the comedy sketch show "In Living Color," Damon Wayans has also starred in the early-2000s series "My Wife and Kids" and the 1995 movie "Major Payne," among others.
On Fox's "Lethal Weapon" remake, Wayans steps into the role made famous by Danny Glover in the 1987 movie as a seasoned cop who finds himself partnered with a loose cannon.
The former "30 Rock" writer starred on cult-favorite comedy "Community" and appeared in the Matt Damon movie "The Martian."
On FX's "Atlanta," he plays a young man trying to break into the music industry. (In real life, Glover is a rapper known as Childish Gambino.)
The Golden Globe winner starred on Fox's hit medical drama "House" for eight seasons. Hugh Laurie then went on to star on "The Night Manager" and "Veep."
For Hulu mystery thriller "Chance," Laurie plays a forensic psychiatrist who gets mixed up in a world of police corruption, drugs, and his patient's twisted marriage.
A former child actor, Elijah Wood has starred in dozens of movies, including "The Lord of the Rings" franchise, "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," and "The Adventures of Huck Finn."
For BBC America's "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency," Wood plays the friend of a man whose death is shrouded in mystery. That leads him to a strange detective and surreal adventures.


text: The backwoods of Alabama are the setting for this going-nowhere first novel about a young mussel-diver. Like his daddy and his granddaddy, Alvin Lee Fuqua used to be a commercial fisherman and wildcat whiskey-runner; then his good friend and mentor Johnny Ray steered him to the more lucrative mussel-diving (in 1979, the year of the novel, divers are making between 20 and 60 grand a year). When Alvin's not in the water, his passion is body-building; a former Mr. Alabama, his dream is to win Mr. America and make a movie with Burt Reynolds. Alvin lives alone in a small house outside Beulah Swamp--alone, that is, when his diving buddies are not hanging out there; he has a girlfriend, Ginger, who ditches him, and a big sister, Alma, a hip comedienne in a Birmingham nightclub, who is wasting away from anorexia nervosa. The big moment comes early on when Johnny Ray dies from the bends; in the vacuum left by his death and the loss of Ginger, Alvin decides to train for Mr. America again. Gobbling up steroids, he becomes increasingly self-absorbed, scarcely noticing when Johnny's hot-to-trot widow Donna and her two hell-raising kids move in. What little action there is, is squeezed into the final section, as Donna shoots a child-welfare officer and Alvin discovers Johnny's legacy (a sack of gold from the riverbed) before he too gets the bends. Confusion as thick as the characters' dialect surrounds this dismal debut. Morris' failure to shape his material is so complete that it's anybody's guess whether he intended it primarily as rambunctious comedy (pitting honest-to-God swampers against "shit-ass" Authority) or a naturalistic study of the hazards attendant on the quest for a perfect body.

Our patients often ask us about the recovery time after liposuction surgery, to be more accurate, recovery in power assisted liposuction surgery. Our liposuction experts explain more on the issue below.
But before we go into that, here are some points for our patients to remember;
- You need to come back for removal of bandage – you cannot remove this your self. Time for this will be informed to you.
- You can have breakfast as usual.
- Please take medicine after breakfast.
- When you come to the clinic, our nurse will remove the bandage.
Always feel free to ask any doubts.
What happens after liposuction surgery?
Healing is a gradual process. You can start walking the same day itself. You can do your household chores the very next day. You can be back at work within a few days following your surgery. More strenuous activities can be started in a week.
When do you see your new look?
You can see more than half the result of the surgery the next day itself. However, improvement will become even more apparent after about four to six weeks. After about three months, the full results and the final contour will be visible.
If your expectations are realistic, you will probably be very pleased with the results of your surgery. You may find that you are more comfortable in a wide variety of clothes and more at ease with your body. And by eating a healthy diet and getting regular exercise, you can help to maintain your new shape.

"I'm a big fan of Kristen, and was very happy to see her in this particular gown for her Twilight premiere," the designer told InStyle.com exclusively.

A fracture?
Ji Hao looked at his broken bones. Meanwhile, he thought of something.
His arm was broken by Pan Xi, this was a sort of destruction, wasn't it? Ji Hao chuckled. All of a sudden, his broken left arm quietly disintegrated into cloud of dark grains. Pan Xi's arms reached straight to his chest with the dazzling colorful light.
In the next moment, Ji Hao gained a slightly deeper understanding about the great Dao of destruction. His broke arm grew back out, looking exactly the same as the original one, but the strength and power of destruction contained in this new arm had both been raised by thirty percent.
Destruction of both himself and the other things was a source of power!
The fracture enlightened Ji Hao and guided him to a higher level of Dao. With the new arm, he gripped Pan Xi 's both hands. The dark fire and colorful light started an intense conflict with each other. This time, as Ji Hao's arm shook slightly, and a loud series of bone cracking noise could already be heard from Pan Xi's tender hands.
"Ji Hao!" The colorful light shining in Pan Xi's eyes suddenly grew stronger. She stared at Ji Hao and said with a deep voice, "Our master has given his word. You are our archenemy, and we will..."
"Noisy! What can you do to me?" Ji Hao laughed brightly as he raised his left arm and pushed forward. Following his move, the giant swirl condensed from the black light shredded the colorful light from Pan Xi's palms and tore a large piece of skin and muscle off, exposing her crystalline bones which were thickly covered in cracks.
Ji Hao sent Pan Xi backward for tens of steps, then gripped the sword with both hands and swung down to her head.
The Pan Gu sword buzzed shrilly. The moment Ji Hao wielded the sword, numerous natural stars shone in the sky. Streams of starlight poured into the Pan Gu sword from the starry void, allowing the sword to glow with a dazzling, colorful light and create a beautiful light screen between the heaven and the earth, full of splendor. Like a colorful waterfall, the light screen descended to Pan Xi in an overwhelming, unstoppable way.
Pan Xi's face twisted intensely, and her body paused briefly. Suddenly, she clapped her hands and emitted a faint aroma from her palms. Next, wisps of glow condensed into a splendid light shield upon her head. The light shield was divided into thirty-six layers, each layer with six towers sparkling brightly in it. On the towers, numerous golden-armored warriors had been walking, giving a sacred feeling that would make people want to worship them uncontrollably.
Facing Ji Hao's terrifying sword strike, the sky devil which controlled Pan Xi's body gave up on fighting straight against Ji Hao. Instead, it chose to continue this battle with the power of a sky devil.
Ji Hao laughed. Sky devils weren't easy to deal with, but they did have weaknesses. They instinctively believed in their own powers instead of the power of Pan Xi, a world creator. If the sky devil which controlled Pan Xi's body was able to release Pan Xi's full power, not even Ji Hao could do anything to it. Nevertheless, facing Ji Hao's threat, the sky devil chose to fight with its own power and gave up on the great power of Saint Pan Xi. By doing this, this sky devil sought its own doom!
The Pan Gu sword fell from the sky. Under the sword edge, the thirty-six layers of colorfully shining light shield quietly shattered. The six towers in each layer of light shield were torn into pieces, and in the towers, numerous golden-armored warriors howled shrilly while being wiped out by Ji Hao's sword strike. The sword light flashed across the air, then the Pan Gu sword landed heavily on Pan Xi's body. The sword edge went into her body from between her eyebrows, then came out from her lower stomach, nearly cutting her into two.
"Show some mercy!" The moment Ji Hao swung his sword, Netherworld Hierarch shouted out loud from aside.
Hearing Netherworld Hierarch, Ji Hao slightly lifted his wrists and saved Pan Xi from being cut into two pieces. But still, Pan Xi's body was halfway split up. Colorful blood spurted from her body and turned into colorful beads in the air, tinkling on the ground.
The sky devil hiding in Pan Xi's body let out a series of ear-piercing screams. It transformed into a colorful glow and hurriedly rose into the sky.
The Pan Gu bell buzzed deeply and flew up from Ji Hao's head. Streams of Chaos power surged and wove into a giant bell-shaped cage, imprisoning this colorful light. Ji Hao opened his mouth and let out a black streak of fire. The mushroom-like fire immediately swirled the colorful glow in, then the power of destruction erupted, turning this sky devil into nothingness within a few breaths.
Tremendous original soul power began spreading from the black fire. Ji Hao fully activated his embryo of Dao and absorbed the original soul power, which was extracted from the sky devil. After that, Ji Hao gripped Pan Xi's neck, which still had blood squirting from it. He turned around and laughed to Blood Pool, "Elder, do you want her? But, she belongs to the Magi Palace!"
Blood Pool threw a threatening glance at Ji Hao and yelled, "Cut the crap! Pan Xi belongs to both the Magi Palace and me. Bring her to me now. Look at what you did..."
Blood Pool suddenly quivered in shock as he stared at Ji Hao's Pan Gu sword, as if he had seen a ghost wandering in broad daylight. He just realized that no matter who controlled Pan Xi's body, that was still a body of a saint, a world creator. Even though the origin of Pan Xi world wasn't as strong as it of Pan Gu world, the body of its creator could never be harmed by an ordinary weapon.
But, with the Pan Gu sword, Ji Hao nearly cut Pan Xi into two. The dark, ordinary-looking holding in Ji Hao's hands, what kind of a supreme treasure it was?
Blood Pool's heart had even been twitching, 'Not even Netherworld Priest's pair of fierce supreme swords can compete with this Pan Gu sword, can it? Oh my, Ji Hao kid is getting scarier and scarier!' He thought.
"How can that even happen? Xi, my Xi! Ji Hao, how dare you hurt my Xi?! Give Xi back to me now. Otherwise, you will become my sworn enemy!" Down below from the Divine Tortoise Pavilion, Emperor Xun burst with a series of screams, as he couldn't believe what he saw.
"Sworn enemy? Are you even qualified to say that?" Ji Hao looked at Emperor Xun coldly.
Raising the pan Gu sword, Ji Hao prepared to finish Emperor Xun. But from the higher sky, a streak of light descended swiftly. Mounting on Xie Zhi, Hao Tao dove down from the air and shouted, "Ji Hao, Ji Hao, leave these things over there...We need 'Jiuzhou weapons!"
"Jiuzhou weapon? What was that?" Ji Hao raised his head and looked at Hao Tao in confusion as he asked.
"Collect weapons from all over the world, preferably the ones used for slaughtering. Melt the weapons in the cauldrons, to suppress the world with the strong wills of fighting of our brave human warriors." Hao Tao explained with a deep voice.
Blinking his eyes, Ji Hao looked at Hao Tao. Si Wen Ming needed 'Jiuzhou weapons' for forging the nine cauldrons?
'Hah, did Si Wen Ming bring up the concept of 'Jiuzhou' even before the nine cauldrons were forged?' It seemed that Hao Tao had accepted it already.

1). Tor F: God worked miracles of healing through the apostle Paul, but as to the original twelve apostles, Peter was the only one He used. False
2). To whom was He speaking and where was He when Jesus said, "Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb, 'Physician, heal yourself'." (A) Luke 4:23
A. To worshipers in the synagogue in his home town, Nazareth.
B. To a group of fishermen in Capernaum.
C. To Herod in the Praetorium.
D. To a group of doctors and laws in Capernaum.

Week # 2 Scripture Reading: Luke 17
According to Luke 17:12, where was Jesus when He saw the men with leprosy?
Choose the right answer from A-D; (D)
A. As He was about to retire for the night at an inn.
B. On the shore of the Sea of Galilee.
C. As He was paying money at a tax collector's booth.
D. As He was going into a village.
According to this study: Questions:
1). What scriptures tells us that by Jesus' stripes we were healed?
(Isaiah 53:5; Matthew 8:17; I Peter 2:24 )
2). In order to get healed, what must we do? Explain.
We must read and hear God's Word, then believe in our heart that God's Word is true. Confession is good for the soul. No matter what we feel, see, or hear, we must stand on God's Word as the final Word. Confess our healing every day.
3). Why is it important to know God's will?
We must know God's will, because it is so important to be able to know that God's Word is true, and if we know God's will, then we can receive our healing; it's not enough to know God's Word, but know His will too. His will is to heal us even today, read Jeremiah 29:11. It tells us that God is concern about our whole being. (Knowing God's will is knowing His Word, amen.)

Should a YouTube creator be shocked and appalled when they are sued for copyright infringement? That all depends. When creators post YouTube content that ends up being successful, copyright infringement suits are somewhat predictable. Copyright lawsuits frequently target YouTubers, motion picture studios, television networks – any company or person that professionally creates content. This is just the way of the world these days. Those who are caught off guard or surprised by infringement claims, however, were probably not prepared or adequately advised that such a possibility existed.
What Can A Creative Individual Do?
Makers of original content are always going to be lawsuit targets. And as expensive as they can end up being, lawsuits are easy to initiate. So what can a creative individual do to protect themselves? Ideally, you must take some initial steps to prevent the potential of a lawsuit. As with other businesses in the media field, consider taking the following precautions and making them part of your business practice. It will, at least, be a good start.
Who's in the Shot?
Take particular notice of anyone that appears on camera. Also take into consideration any content including videos, pictures, or music that would be considered third-party. You need to clear the rights to these individuals and things. It's not as complicated as it sounds. You can secure whatever rights are necessary through a written agreement that will give you permission to use that clip, music, or person in your video. Have anyone other than you that appears in the video sign a release. There are appropriate documents that will help you allocate the permission to use third-party music, pictures, and video clips as well.
What If You Can't Get Permission?
Sometimes it's just not possible to obtain the clearance information that you're looking for. There is such a thing as "fair use" which could leave you in the clear if your use of the item in question passes the established judicial test for such. Familiarize yourself with fair use and consult an expert if need be. The courts don't always agree on the exact definition of this term, and the entire theory of it seems to constantly be changing. If you're a serious content creator, legal representation would certainly not be out of the question if you feel that you cannot get the rights to something that you need and you have made every reasonable effort to do so. To find out whether or not it falls under fair use or if, because of your efforts to obtain rights, you're in the clear, consulting an attorney is the best way to cover your assets.
Should You Be Insured?
If the content that you create reviews services or products, or includes third-party brands, third-party videos or pictures, or third-party music, you may want to consider getting a media liability insurance policy. This is an insurance coverage for errors and omissions and can cover you against trademark and copyright claims of infringement, defamation claims, and privacy claims, etc. This policy would provide coverage for the cost of your defense in such a claim and the damage awards that may be the result of claims such as this.
Serious, successful creators should consider having a close business relationship with a lawyer. If you have acquaintances that can assist you in minor matters and advice giving, all the better. Having someone like that on your production team would be an absolute plus. If, however, you find yourself in need of effectual legal representation, it is best to have an experienced lawyer under contract and at the ready.

A current phenomena across our country and around the Bay area is the rising number of young men who are considering church planting.

Dog Boarding, Cat Sitter… Whats the Difference?
Back to Pet Blog
When you like to travel but you have pets to contend with, it's often difficult to determine what types of accommodations are best suited for your feline friend or canine companion. Here, we'll take a look at a few different options and share information on red flags that should send you running in the opposite direction.
Boarding Your Pooch
There are two different types of overnight boarding accommodations for dogs: kennel and individual/private homes. A kennel, which is often attached to a pet store or veterinary clinic, will feature separate caged areas for each animal. Dogs will be let out to roam free, usually on a schedule, although some allow well-behaved animals to hang out in common areas with like-minded dogs. PetDoctors.co.uk explains that any reputable kennel will require a kennel cough vaccination before allowing your dog to spend the night. They may also insist that your pet be neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and on a flea and tick preventative.
In-home dog boarding options may be a little more lenient on their requirements. It is important, however, to find a trustworthy care provider, preferably an individual who has been screened and comes highly recommended by the community. Ask your preferred care provider about their experience and relationships with emergency veterinary services if they are not on campus with a clinic. Many offer pet parents online access to live feed of their dog's activity. Check out the puppy cams from Explore.org for an example of streaming feeds.
Pick a Pet Sitter
- Unlike an animal boarding facility, a dog or cat sitter comes to your home to take care of your animal. This is an especially great option if your pet is elderly, suffers from separation anxiety, or is pregnant or nursing. You may also wish to forge a relationship with a pet sitter if you have multiple animals. A great benefit of this arrangement is that you can also often pay your provider for other services, such as cleaning, watering the garden, and checking the mail. You also sleep easy knowing your pet is safe and sound at home and that your property is not left as an open invitation for unscrupulous criminals searching for unattended treasures.
Watch Out for These Red Flags
Regardless of which option you choose, there are a few reasons that you might question your sitter's qualifications. These include:
- A disorganized feeding area. Your pet sitter/border should always maintain a clean and organized feeding area. Bowls should be full of water at all times, and there should be little to no evidence of food on the floor from prior feedings.
- Uncleaned accidents. Accidents happen, but they should be cleaned immediately. If you notice multiple urine puddles or mounds of feces – especially if the latter appears to have begun to dry – this may be an indication that your pet isn't being taken out.
- Disrespect. Specific to pet sitters, he or she should respect your property as well as your pet. While it's certainly okay for them to grab a snack, your fridge should not be left bare upon your return and your personal belongings should never be tampered with.
- Discomfort with animals. A proposed pet sitter who does not seem completely at ease with your specific species or breed should be skipped over immediately.
- Fearful pet. Even the most careful screening may not be able to pinpoint potential issues, but your pet will almost always let you know if there's been a problem. Upon your return, if you notice your pet is especially fearful or uncharacteristically hostile toward their care provider, they may have been exposed to less-than-desirable care tactics. Dogs remember how they have been treated.
You want the best for your pet. Do your research and make sure to ask plenty of questions regarding the people and places your pet will be exposed to. Most importantly, listen to your instincts – and your animal.

There is nothing more disheartening than placing down your pet's meal with love and care, only to see them stare at it and wander off with disappointment.

24th November 2016 written by
All dogs have a range of behaviours that they use to cope with any stressful situations or perceived challenges that they encounter each day. Many of these traits are passive in nature, such as the dog moving away from something it feels uncomfortable about, or displaying appeasement, through ways such as rolling over onto its back. However, if the dog continues to feel stressed by a situation, this passivity can quickly turn into aggression...

Immigrant Press is my hare-brained literary project. Preferring to publish on paper and finding no interest from commercial publishers or literary agents in receiving my books or translations, I decided to do everything myself from the writing and translating to the design, publishing and (limited) distribution. (The costs are also mine.) In 2018 I offered the first Immigrant titles in Kindle editions.
I began with two books of interest local to Úbeda, the small southern Spanish town where I had decided to live and work. Along the Way. Walking in Úbeda (2009) is a hybrid part-town human biography, part-visitor guide to this World Heritage-listed town. The series of walks narrated as I tour the architectural hightlights of my new home also reflects on the joys and oddities of starting life in a culture somewhat removed from that in which I spent my first half-century.
A Kindle edition, with a new cover and including many of the original photographs, was released in August 2018.
The curiosity of my fellow ubetenses has prompted a translation of the book into Spanish, which includes an afterword to bring the story up to date.
From the Americas to Jaén / Desde las Américas a Jaén (2011) is a bilingual Spanish-English reader prepared with one eye on the many young Spaniards impelled by recent economic troubles to prepare for emigration in search of work, and the other on the increasing hostility towards immigrants in many parts of the world.
I gathered a dozen stories of migration by Hispano-Americans who travelled from the varied lands of South and Central America and the Caribbean to the southern Spanish province where I live and work in search of a new life and opportunities – as I did myself – and presented these in testimonio form. Needless to say, they arrived in better economic times than those faced by Spanish youngsters today, whose need to learn the English language as they prepare for emigration might find useful reading in this book.
The Kindle edition carries a new cover and full-colour photographs from the family archives of my interviewees.
Since then I've written three translations of classic novels from Latin America, to be found on the Library of Translation shelf:
South-East (2013) was the first volume on the Immigrant Library of Translation shelf, and led to a second edition, as Southeaster (2015) with publishers And Other Stories. The story of this book is told on the Haroldo Conti page, which also has news of the larger project on Conti's work. A second novel by Conti, In Life, was published in 2018.
Come The Day (2016) is the first translation of Colombian Manuel Mejía Vallejo's work into English, his novel being the first from Latin America to win the Spanish Nadal Prize. It is also available in a Kindle edition.
Jessica Sequeira had offered me help with Immigrant Press having come across Conti's novel and written an extensive article on its publication for the Boston Review. Her first job was the editing of Mejía Vallejo's novel.
The Fireside shelf saw its first volume in summer 2018: Horizon is the first book in an autobiographical triptych, to be completed in the next years. See my page for more details. An auto/biographical work on Haroldo Conti will follow at some point during the completion of this triptych.
All Immigrant Press paper volumes are carefully prepared and printed by Gráficas La Paz of Torredonjimeno, an hour's drive from Úbeda through the olive groves. Their advice on papers and binding has allowed the production of what I intend as beautiful books, with bindings no more likely to fall apart than their content.
You can contact me, or Jessica, by way of the email address below.

The Six Constant Mitzvos - Pocket Size Hard Cover
|Binding: Hardcover
|Date Published: 01/05/11
|Pages: 264
|Publisher: ArtScroll Mesorah Publications
Our Price: $12.79
Anytime. Anywhere. The six mitzvos that every Jew can, and must, fulfill. The six mitzvos that can, and will, change our lives.
The classic work Sefer HaChinuch lists six mitzvos that a Jew is commanded to constantly fulfill, without a stop. Yet how is it possible to fulfill even one mitzvah, let alone six, every moment, every second of our lives?
The 6 Constant Mitzvos shows us that the mandate to fulfill these commandments is not an impossible task. Through stories, real-life practical examples, inspirational insights, and a deep understanding of Torah thought, the authors explain how we can create within ourselves an awareness of these vital beliefs, an awareness that will be reflected in our every action.
Based on a series of lectures by noted scholar Rabbi Yitzchak Berkowitz, co-author of A Lesson a Day, the groundbreaking work on shemiras halashon, The 6 Constant Mitzvos is a book that will transform the way we live our lives.

Wildlife Reservoirs for Rabies
Although all species of mammals are susceptible to rabies virus infection, only a few species are important as reservoirs for the disease. In the United States, several distinct rabies virus variants have been identified in terrestrial mammals, including raccoons, skunks, foxes, and coyotes. In addition to these terrestrial reservoirs, several species of insectivorous bats are also reservoirs for rabies.

What's Happening in the World of Personal Finance?
Outlook for 2018
At times, the Brexit negotiations appear to dominate all decision making yet, despite the relentless doom and gloom predictions, markets have, by and large, remained calm and relatively stable. The volatility seen at the start of the year was due more to the phony "trade war" between China and USA and with Trump in charge this could recur at any time. From our point of view, the markets are a little high at this time and we would expect to see a possible market correction later in the year, although the timing and extent of this is uncertain.
The first increase in interest rates for a decade occurred in November 2017 to maintain control of inflation. We expect that any further increase in interest rates will not prove necessary until the latter part of 2018, due to the weaker performance of the UK economy in the first quarter of the year. .
President Trump continues to astound and confound in equal measure. Whilst he has been active in making aggressive statements regarding various part of the world, we have yet to see the benefit or otherwise of such actions. The measures now in place for both Corporate and Personal Tax reform provides some underpinning for the US market although it cannot continue indefinitely at this high level. However there is the expectation of some pause for breath, and possible market correction along the way. We consider that there are sufficient positive underlying factors to accommodate such an action.
Europe continues to offer investment opportunities in many areas. It is vital for the future success of Europe that Macron succeeds in harmonising working practices in France as the outcome of this has an impact on Europe which is certainly comparable to any Brexit negotiations.
Japan continues with the Quantitative Easing cycle and this seems to be having some success, reflected in both (modest) inflation growth and stock-market performance.
Emerging Markets are forecast to grow by 5% in 2018, with growth in China declining but still reaching around 6%. The concern with the Emerging Market sector is that any significant correction in the USA markets could have a ripple effect, which may nullify any gains made here. .
With the interest rate cycle at a turning point caution is required with fixed interest and many available funds are showing a preference for credit risk rather than interest rate risk. There are several equity funds that provide income comparable with and in excess of that offered by fixed interest funds at this time.
The ISA allowance remains unchanged at Ł20,000 for 2018/19 and provides a great opportunity to boost tax efficient savings. The restriction on the amount held within the cash component has been removed completely and there is also the ability to withdraw funds contributed in the current tax and replace them in the same tax year, giving greater flexibility. The move to allow ISA allowances to be transferred to a surviving spouse is also available to help mitigate tax.

ishaolinma492814928 MAY, 2013I was forced to cook our eggs in the microwave when our brand new oven quit. Our microwave is 1000 watts. If yours is higher then cooking time will be less. I cooked two eggs and estimated 1 minute per egg. I beat the eggs with a tablespoon of water, then added a tablespoon of margarine (or butter). I cooked on high 1 minute then took the bowl (ramekin) out & stirred the eggs well. Now I add other ingredients, stir & cook 1 minute, removed, stirred, let sit 1 minute & they were delicious!Reply
reachtrita20 OCT, 2010Easy and very little ingredients. Turned out pretty good, I made it for my 1.5 year old, and he likes it. Convenient, I'll keep it to make again when I need to make a quick dish. Thanks :)Reply

Citi Marks $2bn of TARP Funds for Warehouse Lending
Citigroup (C) approved two new initiatives during Q209 that will operate under the Troubled Asset Relief Program funding. The initiatives, totaling $6bn in funding, include a lending facility for mortgage originators. The program allocates up to $2bn for Citi to fund financing to mortgage loan originators via warehouse lending facilities. Citi said it will provide originators with collateralized lines of credit that are backed primarily by residential mortgages which are eligible for sale to government-sponsored mortgage agencies. The bank also approved up to $4bn for municipal letters of credit to provide direct lending to municipal clients. Both programs are TARP-supported initiatives that are closely monitored to ensure funds are put to work prudently, transparently and according to clear guidelines. With the $6bn in new initiatives during the quarter, the aggregate value of programs supported by TARP capital is up to $50.8bn as of June 30. At the close of the second quarter, Citi has put to work $15.1bn of that total, or nearly one third. In addition to the lending programs, Citi said it will continue to aid at-risk homeowners and has already helped 625,000 US homeowners avoid potential foreclosure on mortgages totaling more than $67bn since the onset of the foreclosure crisis in 2007. Citi helped 108,000 borrowers with mortgages worth $16bn in Q209 alone. Citi's move to increase warehouse funding comes at a time when warehouse lenders are becoming scarce. Of those that remain, a major warehouse lender recently faced a federal probe as regulators look for more transparency in mortgage lending. GMAC Financial Services announced last week it will step up its correspondent and warehouse lending volume, although it gave no dollar amounts at the time. Write to Diana Golobay.

A MAN APART: Cooper, as Chris Kyle, the subject of Eastwood's masterful war epic.
"It's the greatest country on Earth, and I would die to protect it," declares American Navy Seal Chris Kyle, a skilful marksman who goes to fight in Iraq in the wake of 9/11 and eventually earns the title of the most deadly sniper in US history.
Kyle's incredible true story gets a deft cinematic rendering in American Sniper, revered filmmaker Clint Eastwood's bombastic new drama that's just been nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture and a well-deserved Best Actor nod for Bradley Cooper as the hero of the title.
In short, American Sniper paints a gripping, visceral picture of war's devastating impact on lives both on and off the battlefield. Morphing into a man who kills for a living, in patriotic service of his country ― and being so adept at it ― racks Kyle's conscience, but especially when kids and other innocents end up in his line of fire. Sometimes, in reflecting on his actions, his noble Texas upbringing and his wife and kid back home (Sienna Miller plays his supportive wife, Taya), Kyle sobs inconsolably. And it's in these quiet moments that we get to see the vulnerable, flesh-and-blood human being behind the trigger.
It's an utterly convincing performance from Cooper, who is fast building an impressive body of work and whose astonishing good looks can't be concealed by all that facial scruff his character has to sport in the movie. A versatile actor who can go from starring in popcorn comedies like Wedding Crashers and The Hangover trilogy to earning raves for compelling dramas like Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle while barely drawing breath, Cooper is, without doubt, becoming the Dustin Hoffman of his generation.
As for Eastwood, what's left to say? The man is a genius at the height of his creative powers (well into his 70s, at that!) who continues to school his younger colleagues, while mesmerizing critics and viewers alike. Drawing parallels with such Eastwood classics as Letters from Iwo Jima and Flags of Our Fathers, American Sniper is an intensely captivating meditation on conflict, conscience, family and unbridled patriotism. Tyrone's Verdict: B+

Derby to keep Dyer
By Phil Jackson
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Trialist Lloyd Dyer looks set to stay at Derby County until the end of the season.
Trialist Lloyd Dyer looks set to stay at Derby County until the end of the season.
The Rams used Tuesday's friendly against Mansfield Town to test out several potential players, and Dyer proved the most successful of the bunch.
He began the game at left back, but moved into a left-midfield role in the second half.
Despite missing three good chances in the 3-1 defeat to The Stags, caretaker manager Terry Westley has decided to keep the player training with the team until the end of the season.
Westley said on the Derby County website: "Dyer has done well in training and is better playing wide on the left, where he wants to play, rather than at left back.
"It is a position that at the end of the season the club will need to fill as there is only really Lee Holmes under contract here."
Six-foot seven-inch Nigerian striker Evangelino Valentim and 23-year-old Frenchman Youness Bengellou also played, but both failed to impress.
Westley said of Bengellou: "We played him at right back where he has played for PSG, but he is not quite what we're looking for to take us forward."
Seth and Michael Johnson continued their respective recoveries from knee injuries by playing and Derby also took a look at 18-year-old Charlton Athletic striker James Walker.
The game against Mansfield was decided by three first half goals and a Holmes penalty midway through the second half proved too little too late for The Rams.

Ready for planting
The Carbonised Plant Regulated Growing System is ready for planting.
The Carbonised Plant Regulated Growing System is ready for planting.
Wonderful to meet Simon who is one of the people behind the quietly transformative Gasworks Docks Partnership in West Ham. A charity set up to re-claim this disused dock in the industrial heartland at the river lea and bring it back into community use. Quietly tucked away in the industrial estate they are transforming this former industrial waste land into a little oasis of social enterprises.
Amongst a floating Geodesic dome, reed beds, boats on stills and mobile planters is a large accelerated composter which was inherited from Newham. Its not quite an anerobic digester which we assumed it might be but rather a hot chamber which churns out compost in only 12 days. Still quite impressive.
Throughout last year Fausto has been running this anareobic digester at the Urban bee lodge in Kennington Park. It has been dorment over the winter and we initally thought that it might be possible to bring it to the Wick as it seemed access to requierments in Kennington. The good news is that the Urban Bee Lodge has more volunteers to run and promote the digester in Kennington, which also means we can't bring it Hackney Wick. Inspired by what we saw in Kenningtons plans were hatched to build our own digester re-using existing components and making it fit local requierments.
The digester in Kennington was a demonstration model designed by Loo Watts. It was extremely useful to see how it works and what level of maintanance which is requiered.
Delighted that Tom Fletcher will be working with us. Tom is a chef and re-use expert. Among many other things he produces the Rejuce drinks made from left over fruit collected at New Spitafield Market a short distance away from Hackney Wick in Walthemstow. Tom is all things re-use and the last piece of the puzzle is a digester which can turn the remaining organic waste he produces into source a of energy.
Step forward Fausto who has been running a small digester made by LOOWATTS . Its only a small unit to demonstrate the benefits of producing gas (or electricity) with a digester currently without a user - it seems a perfect fit for Tom and his production line.
The space for the digester is identified and workshops are planned so watch this space.
Tak who is working with us and Hassan asked me to introduce the project to his 20+ architecture students from the university of East London. I borrowed the Abbey Gardens cabin - Home of one of Charlie Seber's workshops and gave quick presentation hoping to draw them into a collaboration. "It will not be marked" were Taks words and it will be after they have completed their year - so I guess we only get those really committed and interested students to join in.
I ran into Charlie on his way to town and he produced this little stove from his backpack along with some firewood. The mini stove is made from two old cans and is designed to boil water for a small pot of tea. The same principle to the chimeny effect which we expermineted with when charring the timber. Short intense heat.
Its good to always be prepared for a quick cup of tea along the way.
Join us next week Saturday at the Abbey Gardens Spring Event. Abbey Gardens is a great local community garden in Newham set up by local residents, designed by somewhere. It is also one of Charlies 'workshops' and comfrey plantations.
We will be outing our experiements alongside all the other
activity so don't miss it.
Saturday the 20th of April
2-5Pm at Abbey Gardens
Bakers Row
Our monolithic carbonised planting system is coming along slowly but collectively. It needs one more final push. The official unvailing will most likely take place on the 20th of April when we will take part at the Abbey Gardens spring festival. A wonderful garden in Newham designed by artist duo Nina Pope and Karen Guthrie from somewhere, who are also behind the floating cinema.
Abbey Gardens is also one of Charlies growing areas and if you join us on the day you will get to see his self buid green house and comfrey silo. We will post some updates closer to the event but in the meantime you can enjoy some images of the developing planter.
Recently, I was delighted to meet Hassan, who was introduced to me as a 'recycling powerhouse'. Hassan and his son run H&H motors on Old Bethnal Green Road. He was (and still is) a plot holder at the old Manor Garden Allotments, which had to make way for the Olympic redevelopment. The Allotments are to be relocated back to a new plot in the Olympic park next year.
The allotment society ran a very strong campaign to save the allotments from demolition, though ultimately unsuccessful. You can see the history of the campaign at the fantastic Life Island (www.lifeisland.org) website. You might also have come across Hassan in the videos and interviews produced as part of the campaign, some of which are in the Curiosity Shop collection. Or you might have seen him in Sam Clark's MORO EAST cook book, which documented the last growing season and community life of the allotments before they were bulldozed.
I visited Hassan at his garage with Tak Hoshino - a japanese architect - who was heavily involved in the campaign and who helped to draw up an alternative master plan arguing for the retention of the allotments as part of the new park. Tak has a keen interest in recycling - not from a sustainability point of view, but as a frame of mind which makes do and is able to adapt.
The desire to work with the allotments and the 'shed culture' came from looking at Thomas Pausz's book 'Revisiting the Community Shed' - a survey of the many sheds on the old Manor Garden Allotments, many of which were self-built using found and recycled materials. The sheds were much more then just tool storage; they were private spaces which housed the social life of the allotments. The sheds provided on the new site are small and can not easily be inhabited in the same way. Additionally they are temporary and many people don't want to invest too much into them. Nevertheless some of them have been customised using the same resourceful techniques. Hassan has extended his and even added a covered porch from re-used materials using the skills at his disposal.
When the weather clears up a bit and the spring make itself felt, Tak and I will visit Hassan at his allotment and get to meet the famous barbecue made from a disused MOT machine, his birdhouse and - of course - his shed.
Tak is a keen shed builder himself and as I dropped him off at his house he showed me the shed he build for his kids made from old windows (pictured above). All across his estate the steel frame windows were replaced with plastic UPVC double glazed one. He rescued some of the old windows from the skip.
The E20 Fishing Club has taken over the old Lock Keepers Cottage. Mark and Pete who run the club need urgent help finishing off some planters before Wednesday (20th March 2013). If you have a few moments to spare go down to old ford lock (at the end of Dace Road next to the old Big Breakfast house) Mark and Pete will be down there Saturday and Sunday all day. They would really appreciate some extra muscle power. Several planters need to be filled with soil. The planters will eve ntually grow herbs. Its fairly urgent as it all needs to be ready for Wednesday - some funding deadline. Just drop down or email mark at: email@example.com

I very dutifully had a nightly beauty ritual as a teenager – wash my face with my neutrogena bar, then put toner on a cotton ball and run it over my face – if there was any dirt on the cotton ball, I'd repeat with the neutrogena bar and use toner again. When satisfied that my face was actually clean, I'd then add moisturizer – always swiping up so as not to destroy the elasticity of my skin before its time. Then I'd go to bed, but not before the 30 minutes it took to make sure my face and hair was going to shine the next morning. Often times, I'd swipe a bit of my mom's oil of olay (lovingly calling it oil of old lady) to slather on my face and neck as I'd seen her do, because she was (is) beautiful, and well, I wanted to be, too; and, like many women my age, I loved the oil of olay smell on my mom's face and neck. (Great marketing by Oil of Olay, if you ask me!)
Now, I'm closing in on 40, after a life of happys and sads, and joys and pains, and the decision not to truly invest in the required beauty rituals of the female sex. I no longer call it oil of old lady, and cringe when my young female friends do. I still believe there's not enough time in the world to spend even one hour on beauty care, but…my skin would now be classified as "mature" and well, I'm beginning to think I really really don't want to look like a hag twenty years from now. I have started to wonder if I should join the masses and pay tribute to the beauty gods by slathering my face with every type of Alpha and Beta Hydroxy and other acids on the market to smooth the hard earned laugh lines and creases on my face.
But then I found this post from Caroline at henryhappened.com, and I say screw it! I will continue to shun the masses and live my
bohemian-not-gonna-put-shit-on-my-face-or-hair-that-isn't-natural life I've lived almost my whole adult life. I will happily steam and scrub my face, embracing this ten minute, minimalistic natural routine to non-haggy-ness if it means I do not have to put chemicals on my face.
…and then, maybe I'll just open up the jar of oil of olay, take a good long whiff, and think of my mom….
As a teenager I was religious about washing my face each night. Never (ever!) would I have considered going to bed without using my Neutrogena cleanser bar and then dutifully applying toner and copious amounts of Oil of Olay with SPF. I'm pretty sure I'm showing my age calling it 'Oil of Olay.' It was all my mom ever used, and I grew up loving that smell.
Fast forward a few years, and I now routinely commit the skin care sin of not washing my face at night. Terrible, right? I have a host of excuses: I didn't even wear makeup today! It will just dry out my skin! Who needs to exfoliate? Then I made this rose and chamomile scrub with oats, honey and almond oil and am totally sold on using it every day.
Here's the article and recipe: http://www.henryhappened.com/rose-chamomile-scrub.html
