If you've been here before and read any of my beauty posts then you'll know that lipsticks are my jam. And well, if you haven't been here before then a massive hello and it's totally true.
Lipstick is such a beautiful piece of makeup and can instantly transform your whole face; I know for sure that I can look completely different rocking a nude lip vs a bold red lip and that's the beauty of it, it has the ability to make such a statement. I have quite a large collection at the moment, featuring both drugstore and high-end picks, as well as a load of different formulas and shades but that doesn't stop me from ever wanting to try out more or new releases. It's a problem, I know...
I was completely overjoyed when I received my first VoxBox from the lovely people at Influenster where I was sent all 12 shades of the new Bourjois Rouge Velvet The Lipstick collection on a complimentary basis. You should've seen my face when the package arrived, I was literally like a kid on Christmas morning and couldn't wait to get stuck in and test them all out!
First, let's have a chat about the packaging... I think it's bloody genius. Each lipstick is encased in bright and colourful packaging which matches the same shade inside. And when I say matches, I really do mean it, they've worked really hard to make sure that you know exactly what you're getting. I feel like this is going to be a game changer because I can't even begin to tell you how many mornings I've had a tantrum because I've had to open 10 lipsticks to find the shade I'm after.
I was really impressed with the colour range and genuinely feel like there'd be a shade for everyone. Not only that but there's also shades to suit each season; there's the easy nudes for every day wearing, hot pinks and corals for summer and also deeper, darker mauves for when Autumn soon rolls around.
The lipstick bullet itself is formed into a 'teardrop' shape which makes for a super easy application with real precision. It really helped to make my lipstick more defined which is something I struggle with sometimes, especially with bolder, darker colours.
The formula of these lipsticks are beautiful. They feel creamy and hydrating as you apply them to the lips and they don't compromise on pigmentation at all. Each shade is rich and bursting with colour and the blend of hydrating waxes and light oils leaves your lips feeling velvety soft. Lip smacking good. They do dry much more matte but are in no way drying on my lips, however there's no harm in popping on a bit of lip balm prior to application to make them even more comfortable.
The one aspect that I was instantly impressed with was the pigmentation and when I was swatching the shades, they really did glide across my hand with very minimal pressure. Winning - there's nothing I hate more than lipsticks that drag!
1. Hey Nude!
2. Flaming'rose
3. Hyppink chic
4. Hip Hip Pink
5. Brique-a-brac
6. Abrico'dabra
7. Joli carmin'ois
8. Rubi's cute
9. Fuschia botte
10. Magni-fig
11. Berry formidable
12. Brunette
I have to say that I'm in love with the shade names, I love it when brands spend a bit of time actually creating unique and often humorous names for their products. Much more satisfying than just saying "No. 2"!
My absolute favourites are the darkest shade, Brunette (naturally) and Brique-à-brac, which gives me some MAC Velvet Teddy vibes. In fact, I can also 100% see myself wearing all of the deep reds and berry shades throughout the next few months, especially Magni-fig.
If you are on the hunt for a good drugstore lipstick then this is definitely a collection to check out! You can find them in Boots & Superdrug for a retail price of £8.99 each.
What's your favourite colour? Are you keen to try these out?

It never says he SLEPT with the girl Janet, he could have just gone out with her. It's possible he just was friends with her (although doubtful because that wasn't in the post) or maybe it was a different kind of cheating where there was no sex but he went out on a date with another woman? It's still bad, but not really super terrible or divorce worthy.
twist_n_shout | 0
Going on a date with someone else is totally cheating and totally divorce-worthy! And I'm pretty sure that if Janet was just a friend of the OP's, she wouldn't have been part of the FML.
sickinlove13 | 0
We're assuming he cheated on his wife because he stated that he went on a date Saturday with another female whom isn't his wife. Then, he continued to say that his wife saw the calendar that's "synchronized throughout the whole building". Otherwise, what's the big deal?

Well I understand why he is schedueling.
He doesn't want to accidently call the wrong girls name in the middle of sex now does he?
Hes being prepared to not sleep on the couch. ;)

"Thank you for a great year. You have taught us well in this semester about water. We have learned a lot from you guys. You taught us a good way to conserve water and protect the environment at all costs. We learned that protecting the environment is like protecting your life.This is important what you taught us. We learned a lot this year because of you guys, like about the point of storm drains, Cat Point Creek, and all that very important stuff. That's why we appreciate you guys for making us learn these amazing facts. In the future, I will make sure that water is conserved and take good care of my environment." – Montross Middle School, 6th Grader
One of the best parts of my job is running the program, A River Runs Through Us (ARRTU), which is a year-long Meaningful Watershed Educational Experience (MWEE) for all sixth graders in Essex, Lancaster, Richmond and Westmoreland Counties. We just completed our second year of the program through NOAA B-WET funding and the numbers I just put together are amazing. First off, the teachers and administrators I have been working with over the past two years are out-of-this-world awesome. Mychal Molnar from Lancaster, Patty Ptucha from Richmond, Rebecca Beale from Westmoreland and Cressandra Layne from Essex have made integrating environmental education and field experiences into their curriculum almost effortless. I have had so much fun working with them, learning from them and also teaching them about the environment.
In the 2016-2017 school year FOR worked 21 partner organizations to provide field experiences, lead in-class lessons and plan for the 2017-2018 school year. Together, we have worked with 393 students, 35 teachers and 18 administrators this school year. Teachers and administrators have spent 411 hours developing the program, attending professional developments and implementing lessons. This year we built floating wetlands, cleaned up throughout Warsaw, planted a bioswale, built oyster sentinels, made water conservation commitments, learned about rain barrels and learned how to Save the Crabs, Then Eat 'Em. Teachers and administrators went from the Bay to the headwaters of the Rappahannock River through professional development retreats that always seemed to leave them wanting more.
Since the Fall of 2015, 945 students, 63 teachers, 26 administrators and 21 partner organizations have participated in ARRTU. Without every student, teacher, administrator and partner, ARRTU would not be possible. I am beyond proud to be part of such a successful program that I am excited to expand to King George and Middlesex Counties this coming year! Although I'm sad to see summer pass quickly I am pumped to get this program going with another year of great students! Thank you to everyone that makes this program possible.

Creamy Roasted Garlic Hummus
As seen on Food Symmetry
Creamy Roasted Garlic Hummus
Now Watching: {{ playlist.onNowText }}
Up Next: {{ playlist.upNextText }}
Chef's Note
"This is truly the perfect hummus, in my humble opinion. Roasting the garlic brings out its nutty and sweet flavor and cuts down on the sharpness. It's well worth the time! Try it, I don't think you'll be disappointed."
READY IN:1hr 5mins
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 cups canned chick-peas or 2 cups cooked chickpeas
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1⁄4 cup warm water
- 1 large head of garlic
- 1 lemon, juice of
- 1⁄4 teaspoon sea salt
- Preheat oven to 375°F Cut off the very top of the garlic clove (about 1/4") so that the tops of most of the cloves are exposed slightly. Coat with a little olive oil and wrap securely in tin foil. Roast garlic in oven for 1 hour. Remove and allow to cool.
- Using your fingers, squeeze the soft, roasted garlic out of each clove into food processor. Rinse and drain cooked or canned chickpeas. Add them, and all other ingredients, to the food processor and blend until completely smooth.
- Scrape ingredients off sides of food processor to make sure it blends evenly. If you find that the hummus is too thick, you can add additional olive oil at this time. Add it very slowly, allowing the mixture to combine fully before adding more liquid.
- Serve at room temperature with crudites, warm pita or crackers.
- Optional: Sprinkle with chopped parsley or paprika before serving.

SaskPower says more than 250 people from at least 20 countries attended the opening of the $1.4-billion project Thursday.
It will take carbon-capture emissions released by the Boundary Dam power plant near Estevan and release the gas deep underground using a steel pipeline for storage.
Premier Brad Wall said the project helps curb greenhouse gas emissions while creating affordable energy.
Critics of the technology argue that it doesn't effectively address environmental concerns because it justifies the burning of fossil fuels..
The aim is to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions by one million tonnes annually, which amounts to 90 per cent of the emissions from the power plant.

Beatrice Cochener, Sabine Derrien; New medical device for chronic corneal ulcers healing. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2013;54(15):3904.

© ARVO (1962-2015); The Authors (2016-present)
To report the cases of a series of patients suffering from chronic corneal ulcers resistant to conventional therapies and treated with a new ophthalmologic solution based on ReGeneraTing Agent technology (RGTA, Cacicol®). RGTA is a bioengineered analog of extracellular matrix components (heparan sulfates) which promote tissue regeneration. We report a series of 20 eyes treated with this innovative solution.
We conducted a monocenter opened prospective study. All of the 20 eyes had chronic corneal ulcers, except one who had a severe confluent keratitis. Ulcers were essentially chronic, and 8 patients had already received one or several amniotic membrane grafts or, without success. Two ulcers were due to basic chemical burns, one was associated with neurotrophic keratitis, and two were ulcers with herpetic kerititis. All patients were previously treated with classical lachrymal substitutes, some of them also with topical cyclosporine, corticoids, and/or A vitamin ocular ointment. The mean vertical and horizontal ulcer diameters were, respectively, 2.2 and 2.8 mm (range: 1-6.5 mm). Patients were treated with Cacicol® at a dose regimen of one drop daily every 2 or 3 days for one to two months depending on healing.
Complete healing was observed for 12 patients, i.e. a cure rate of 69 %. For other patients, 3 failures and one improvement without complete healing were reported. However a large variation was noted in the time for recovery of corneal integrity going from few days to few weeks. No correlation has been established between etiology, depth of ulcer and potential of regeneration. In case of severe ulcer and when a positive effect is observed at 1 month, a weekly drop is continued up to the complete healing.
Cacicol® appears as a new interesting healing eye drops in the context of severe chronic corneal ulcers resistant to conventional therapies. Its efficacy remains to be proven in randomized double-blind studies.

10 Marketing Strategies You Must Stop Using
Marketing opportunities change so rapidly these days that it can be tough to keep up. If you're unsure whether your brand is setting the pace or falling behind, take a look at the following top ten marketing strategies to avoid in 2013.
1. Gaming online customer review sites by posing as a customer and uploading over-the-top comments is never a sound strategy. Both review sites and customers are getting savvier. If your scores are unnaturally high, customers will distrust what they're reading. Plus, review sites are incorporating systems to catch inauthentic posts.
2. Spurious growth of social media followers is a waste. Electing to inorganically grow your brand's Twitter followers by following everyone under the sun with the hopes they'll like your brand in return does not make for a winning strategy. Your messaging will be lost on a follower base that likely has little interest in your offering. Savvy marketers monitor engagement and the percentage of followers converting to buyers versus just total followers.
3. Generally, the purchase of email lists does not pay off. Not only are there CAN-SPAM compliance guidelines to contend with, but these lists are typically highly inaccurate, generating a low response rate from your email campaign.
4. Don't count on keywords coded into your website as the primary driver of new search traffic. Search-engine algorithms now consider much more with a particular eye for consumer engagement -- articles, social media sharing, blog posts and online reviews by consumers about your brand.
5. Stop using social media channels to simply broadcast your promotional messages. It's a turnoff to the social media community. Instead, do a lot more listening and development of online conversations, as well as providing content for which your fans and followers are hungry.
6. Don't rely exclusively on feelings and experience to determine where to spend your marketing dollars. Validate your strategies through research, analytics and statistics.
7. Be careful not to focus more on new business than you do on customer retention, as that's an expensive proposition.
8. Selling directly to consumers is often infinitely more expensive than establishing sound referral relationships. Consider establishing a strong referral management strategy.

Last season around this time, I did a Q&A with the USHL's Director of Officials, Scott Brand. I decided to ask Scott if he'd be willing to do it again, and he was more than happy to answer a few questions for the blog.
Thanks to Scott Brand for taking some time to answer a few questions!
1. Which referees have moved on from the USHL?
Referees: Chris Pitsocia-ECHL, Brett Sheva-ECHL, Kevin Curtis-CHL, Andrew Wilk-ECHL.
Linesmen: Ryan Daisy-ECHL, Brian Oliver-ECHL, Zac Thornton-ECHL, and Morgan-ECHL.
2. Are there any new rule changes that the league will put into play for this season?
No new rules.
3. Along the lines of the last question, what was behind the decision to allow the U18 kids in the league to wear visors this year?
It has been something we have looked at for 25+ years. We believe with more players wearing visors, it will result in less major injuries and more respect among the players. It's a pilot program and we have been given the opportunity to look at the data at the end of the season, and I know the NCAA is very interested in our findings.
4. What are your thoughts on fighting in the junior ranks and the USHL in particular, and is there a movement to ban it? If so do you think that will make the game more dangerous due to stick work and dirty hits?
The 2nd part of the question will not need to be addressed, but if we did, YES it would be more dangerous. First and foremost, THANK YOU for asking about a so called "move" to ban fighting. I think 1-2 so called "in the know" hockey experts or fans hear part of something or see something and never get the facts. THE UNITED STATES HOCKEY LEAGUE IS NOT LOOKING TO BAN FIGHTING. Please everyone re-read the last sentence. Now we are addressing it and talking about fights-YES. We must keep the players safe is first and foremost, they can keep their helmets on, or at least start with the helmet on and still fight when they are wearing a visor. Newer hockey players in general don't know-why, who, how, and even when to fight. A true hockey fan understands we must end what I call the "facebook" fight, they make our sport look like professional wrestling and damage our sport. Two players square off for no reason-just stupid. A goaltender gets bumped hard, or an elbow is thrown or liberties are taken, I think we all understand a fight may occur, and most of us see it as a way of policing the game. I can's say fighting is part of the game, but........
5. Will you be doing any games this season with the 2 ref system? If so, how many?
Yes - 10% of home games, so 6 of 32 games will be done in the 4 man system.
6. Are you concerned that the rule saying once guys take off their helmet they have to go immediately? Will kids be forced to fight before feeling each other out and does the ref have some leeway to use his discretion before calling a penalty?
Well that's really not the rule, the rule is a player can not deliberately remove their helmet to fight. If the helmet comes off in the natural act of fighting (punched off), no additional penalties will be assessed. The officiating discretion would come in when the official is unsure if the removal was deliberate. It's like the elbow pad rule, you can't deliberately remove the elbow pad, but if it comes off during the fight as a result of the fight, no additional penalties are assessed. If players do deliberately remove their helmets prior to engaging in the act of the fight- we have instructed our linesmen to step in, again the safety of the player is at stake.
7. Lastly, there have been multiple rumors of USHL expansion in the east, most notably Buffalo. Will there be USHL hockey in Buffalo in the next few years?
There are rumors of the USHL expanding everywhere and I hear them too. I am sorry but I am really not in the know, the league office would be a much better place to start. I think any business/hockey person would realize, yes more teams in the east to fill in the Youngstown/Indiana teams (division) would cut down on travel. I can't speak to any specific cities, I hear the same things, there are a lot of window shoppers. First and foremost we need an arena, I don't know of any arenas that are being built, lots on the drawing table, but none where the shovel is in the ground.

On the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen, about 1120 km from the North Pole and located deep inside an Arctic Mountain, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault was officially opened today. The Svalbard Seed Vault has also been dubbed as the 'Doomsday' vault and is approximately housing 1.5 million seed samples of agricultural crops.
According to Wikipedia, "The seedbank is constructed 393 feet inside a sandstone mountain at Svalbard on Spitsbergen Island.[2] The bank employs a number of robust security systems. Seeds are packaged in special 4-ply packets and heat sealed to exclude moisture. The facility is managed by the Nordic Gene Bank, though there are no permanent staff on-site.
Spitsbergen was considered ideal due to its lack of tectonic activity and its permafrost, which will aid preservation. The location 130 meters above sea level will ensure that the site remains dry even if the icecaps melt.[2] Locally mined coal provides power for refrigeration units that further cool the seeds to the internationally-recommended standard −20 to −30 C. [3] Even if the equipment fails, at least several weeks will elapse before the temperature rises to the −3 C of the surrounding sandstone bedrock.
Prior to construction, a feasibility study determined that the vault could preserve seeds from most major food crops for hundreds of years. Some seeds, including those of important grains, could survive far longer, possibly thousands of years."

I was reading an interesting article about micromanagement (Why Is Micromanagement So Infectious?) that forced me to write again on management issue.
My interest is on the implication of a micromanagement attitude on a team with a focus on expert management.
In business management, micromanagement is a management style whereby a manager closely observes or controls the work of subordinates or employees. Micromanagement generally has a negative connotation.
Micromanagement classic symptoms are the lack of delegation, the imposition of company rules regardless their effectiveness or fairness, the not contextualization of task and goals, the trivial focus on the lesser details or procedural trivia, the so called "reportmania" , the continuous references to prove even the most obvious statement and so on
Micromanagement is born in environment where static and well defined sequences of activities were the only needed request to employee to perform hisher duty. While micromanagement can find its reason in old production environments, in modern world business management has presented different management techniques in order to address a different kind of employee, the knowledge worker.
The reason behind this shift of focus is that the employees have to confront not a static production environment therefore need to quickly adapt and take ownership of decisions needed in a very short-term. This requires a different set of expertise and skills that forced business management theory to introduce the concepts of "knowledge worker".
Knowledge workers
A knowledge worker is, using the Wikipedia definition:
Knowledge workers are workers whose main capital is knowledge. Examples include software engineers, physicians, pharmacists, architects, engineers, scientists, public accountants, lawyers, and academics, whose job is to "think for a living"
Those kinds of workers are required to address a deeper and wider spread of knowledge needed to address current complex and evolving environment, where static rules and approach would be less effective. The value of a knowledge worker is hisher knowledge which should be used to address new and unknown problems, optimize previous process, open new market and so on.
In an environment where knowledge working is fundamental for organization survival micromanagement is the classical portrait of a bad manager … why is this?
Because a manager in a knowledge working environment should manage resources giving them autonomy, trust and resources to accomplish their assigned goals, otherwise would not be managing effectively knowledge worker resources.
This is a serious issue in every company that makes of innovation and technology its reason, since micromanagement does not come well with creativity which is a mandatory requirement for innovation.
Why this is bad in high-tech environment?
The idea behind micromanagement is associated to 2 nefarious assumptions:
1) The employee cannot be trust
2) The manager knows better how to do the job.
Let see in detail what those assumption means:
Trust issue:
Trust is a bidirectional relationship, as respect or, outside working realm, friendship.
Not giving trust means not receiving trust. This affects, basically, the whole environment.
In a team environment, which is the basic requirement to justify the need of a manager, lack of trust consequence is to collapse on start any real collaboration between team members that is not strictly imposed or previously codified.
The resulting dynamics affect flexibility and creativity which is deadly in a complex ever-changing environment like the ITC one.
Another problem related to the trust issue associated to micromanagement is that without delegation there is no assumption of responsibility and therefore there is a tendency to avoid any risk.
While risk minimization can seem to be a good thing, the problem is that not taking any risk means not doing anything different or new. This is the quickest way to block growth and evolution, which are essential for an organization to survive.
In a micromanagement environment subordinated avoid taking responsibility and risks due to the management attitude which does not price this as a value. This attitude runs to the entire control chain or hierarchy, typically shifting blame towards lower levels which, on the other end, does not have ways to change things due to the micromanagement attitude and constrains.
Moreover from an ethical point of view would worth to ask ourselves what are the basis that made a manager more trustable than one of hisherits reports. Considering, in particular, the knowledge workers we are talking in most of the cases of seasoned professionals that have provided their services in several environment; the necessity of strong ethics and commitment are necessary for that kind of activity and, by the way, in the last 30 years more and more studies showed how the assumption that managers works for the sake of the company greater good is not compliant to reality.
Knowledge issue:
In older production environments most of the knowledge was related to the experience maturated doing a specific manual task. The classical application has been, historically, the introduction of the assembly or production lines. In those kinds of environments the need for team management was less strict; since any member was having a predetermined set of actions and defined skills, while all the decision process was demanded to the upper layer, micromanagement was an acceptable behavior and was, at a certain extent, the way to transmit knowledge to the new employees.
In this scenario was natural to assign middle management function to employees based on experience maturated inside the company, since the company and the product or assembly line was the only given reference.
While the assumption the manager is more knowledgeable of hisher report can be truthful in a not knowledge worker environment, by its nature a knowledge worker environment require a deeper breath of skills that cannot be collected in a single source.
The reason is basically connected to the two dimension of knowledge, wide and deep.
Micromanagement is not possible if the deep or the wide of the knowledge required exceed manager knowledge, which is a common situation. As a result micromanagement shift its focus on trivial aspects not strictly related to the goal.
The whole point of expertise is to fill the gap for the organization; if the manager would be able to fill this gap knowledge workers would not be necessary.
Probably the best quote against micromanagement attitude can be taken from a famous former Apple CEO Steve Jobs statement.
"…it doesn't make sense to hire smart people and tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do."
This exemplify in an excellent way why micromanagement is not a good idea when dealing with knowledge workers.
Management is a complicated issue
Micromanagement is not the only portrait of a bad manager as lack of delegation is not just the only portrait of a micromanager. But for sure a micromanager is a bad manager, while not being a micromanager does not means automatically you are a good manager.
Alas in absence of micromanagement as the management style the manager have to find a way to manage, motivate, reward, help, support, and give goals to hisher team members.
The most complicated part is that in modern knowledge working environment some or even all of the team members can have higher seniority in terms of knowledge, age and experience of the direct manager itself, which makes micromanagement, as well as other bad management common practices, not only not practical but even counterproductive.
When a company hire expertise is hiring a knowledge worker, this means to adopt the correct management style.
A correct management style means to start working on goals and targets (forget the damn KPI for once and start thinking as a professional), defining jointly the requirements (which means the level of autonomy, the delegated authority needed, the sponsorship, the credentials among other groups and so on) and setting in a correct way the operative environment.
If this is done micromanagement is absolutely nonsense, if this is not done using experts is absolutely nonsense.

He also congratulated HRH Princess Sabeeka on continuous success of BIGS which, he said, is the dividend of her close follow-up.
Its theme is 'Investing in Agriculture', which BIGS general co-ordinator Shaikha Maram bint Isa Al Khalifa said is meant to boost investment and awareness about the agriculture industry in Bahrain.
BIGS features exhibits, garden displays, lectures, demonstrations and publications all geared to the theme, Inspiring Agricultural Sustainability.
BIGS is considered as one of the leading quality exhibitions regionally and internationally which usually attracts experts from various sectors as well as amateur and professional farmers and students.
This year we're very proud to have the biggest occupancy so far," said BIGS general co-ordinator Shaikha Maram bint Isa Al Khalifa at a Press conference yesterday at the Kempinski Grand and Ixir Hotel Bahrain City Centre.

The Indian connection of Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa is a boon for India, which is expected to be reflected in the meeting between Costa and Prime Minister Narendra Modi later this evening in Lisbon.
Modi's visit to the U.S. the first under the Trump Administration - offers an opportunity for relationship- building, the official said.
Modi's two-day visit to Washington begins on Sunday. "Ahead of his meeting at the White House, we're urging Prime Minister Modi not to cave into any pressure from U.S., and adopt pharma-backed policies that have caused medicine prices to skyrocket, leaving patients empty-handed and payers struggling to afford the expensive patented medicines", said Leena Menghaney, south Asia head for MSF's Access Campaign.
Modi will also call on King Willem-Alexander and meet Queen Maxima. "So, we're looking for ways to cooperate on our mutual interests", a senior administration official said while adding USA encourages India and Pakistan to engage in a direct bilateral dialogue aimed at reducing tensions. The only high level bilateral meetings between India and the US has been the visits of NSA Ajit Doval and Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar, and the US NSA HR McMaster's visit to New Delhi where he met top officials and PM Modi. With Pakistan too, we seek to work together but frankly the priorities are very different.
Narendra Modi will be meeting US President Donald Trump in US on Monday to hold bilateral discussions on a range of issues.
"Ultimately, that's the ultimate goal", the White House official said.
According to the copy of the letter provided to PTI, the lawmakers said that in recent years the USA and India have sought to strengthen economic engagement through the bilateral Strategic and Commercial Dialogue and the Trade Policy Forum (TPF).
Defence deals are one area where the two countries could make progress because of bipartisan support, an Indian official involved in the preparations for the visit said.
"But we very much encourage India and Pakistan to engage in a direct bilateral dialogue aimed at reducing those tensions", the official said. The prime minister will also attend a reception thrown by the Indian community in Washington, DC.
A small Hindu group marked the occasion of Trump's 71st birthday last week by feeding a giant poster of the president slices of cake in the heart of New Delhi. "Our conversations have touched upon our common intent to take forward our productive all-round engagement for the mutual benefit of our people", he said. "I look forward to this opportunity to have an in-depth exchange of views on further consolidating the robust and wide-ranging partnership between India and the United States", PM Modi added.
The United States is India's second-largest defense supplier, and a US$2 billion (S$2.7 billion) deal for the United States to sell 22 unarmed drones to India to protect its vast coastline appears set for approval by the Trump administration.

Unify All Your Data Islands: Across All Edge, Data Centers, and CloudsDownload Data Fabric Guide
Data silos not only limit an organization's ability to gain meaningful insights but also increase the cost of storing and processing data.
MapR Data Fabric unifies data silos under one single platform while providing a unified view of all data. Simplified data management allows you to seamlessly store and access all data across edge, on-premises, and cloud deployments. Unifying all data has enabled customers to reduce their capex by 70% and opex by 40%.
IT organizations should be able to deliver data to anyone that needs it. With a scalable platform, you can optimize data access based on infrastructure capabilities and application service-level requirements.
MapR Data Fabric is 100% software. You choose the hardware, hypervisor, container and cloud platform that best suits your business. As a result, you can seamlessly move exabytes of data across edge, on-premises, and cloud deployments. You can also automate data transfer across storage tiers, including SSD, HDD, and cloud, to improve storage efficiency and reduce costs.
Integrating analytics with operational processes is difficult and expensive. With MapR, you can improve business outcomes by applying machine learning to business applications, without having to move or make duplicate copies of data.
With the ability to ingest data at high speed, store it on various types of storage targets, and analyze data using powerful tools in one environment, our customers are building their data fabric to inform both strategic and operational decisions.
Reliably storing and securing data has always been a complex and time-consuming requirement for businesses. The explosion of data makes this objective even more difficult.

Last week, I e-met Tony Remington, whose Google search for Manilatown led him to my blog. I've known his name for over a decade now, as a San Francisco Filipino American community activist and artist, whose images have appeared in Liwanag and maybe in some of the circa 1980's Kearny Street Workshop publications.
Tony sent me over a link to his Flickr photo album: Manilatown 1977-81, and these images add so much dimension to the stories I have been told via local folks' talk story and poetry readings, via lectures in Ethnic Studies when I was an undergrad, via Curtis Choy's Fall of the I-Hotel documentary which always made me emotional when watching; envision your grandfather dragged by cops out of his home at two in the morning and all you can do to protect him is to have your body dragged away by cops too.

Orlando businessman Ron Dowdy will be wearing purple Saturday, but you can't judge his heart by the color of his clothing.
Dowdy is in a tough spot every time UCF plays East Carolina because he has heavily invested in both football programs.
The East Carolina graduate donated $1 million to the school in 1994 for the Pirates' stadium renovation. The university responded by renaming the venue Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium in honor of Dowdy and tobacco titan James Skinner Ficklen, who both gave large donations to East Carolina.
After a tour in Vietnam, Dowdy settled in Orlando and established numerous successful businesses on International Drive. He has given substantial donations to UCF athletics, providing the capital that helped launch the football program. Dowdy also pledged $2 million to buy the naming rights of UCF's new stadium on campus, allowing the university to use his name recognition as leverage to convince Bright House Networks to outbid him for the naming rights.
As a result, Dowdy has an awful hard time choosing between the Pirates and the Knights.
"I really cheer for the team that needs the victory the most," said Dowdy, who plans to attend UCF's game at East Carolina Saturday. "If one team is 3-0 and the other team is 0-3, I'll go for the 3-0 team because they could be on to something pretty special that year. Saturday's going to be tough because both teams really need to win."
Dowdy, 66, grew up in Alexandria, Va.
He decided to attend East Carolina because it had a strong business school and an ROTC program that would help prepare him for the Air Force. After he earned his degree in 1966, Dowdy was stationed in Orlando before serving in Vietnam. Dowdy said he flew 232 missions in a B-52 fighter jet over Vietnam before completing his tour of duty and settling back in Orlando.
"When I finished my obligation, I decided this guy Mickey Mouse was going to be a big thing and I decided to hang on to his coattails," Dowdy said.
He ran several businesses on I-Drive before buying up large strips of property he leases to tenants. He owns Dowdy Plaza, which is home to a string of souvenir shops.
As his businesses took off, he got heavily involved with UCF athletics, Florida Citrus Sports and a slew of civic organizations. He also was a member of the East Carolina board of trustees.
Dowdy said he always has believed in giving back to his community.
He added it's easy to keep supporting the programs because he has immense respect for both East Carolina Coach Skip Holtz and UCF Coach George O'Leary.
"I think the world of Skip Holtz and I think the world of George O'Leary," he said. "They are both fantastic coaches and fantastic people. They really are."
Dowdy spends a lot of time on his farm in Virginia, but he's still active with the family business and has high hopes for the future despite the economic downturn.
"Being the eternal optimist, I will say it isn't what it used to be, but we feel assured it will be back," he said. "And we're all hoping we've already seen the bottom."
Dowdy is just as optimistic about the future of his favorite football teams.
"I want both teams to win Saturday, so I guess I win either way," he said. "I want both teams to have a fantastic game and a fantastic season."

The famed Groucho Marx's daughter Miriam Marx Allen saved virtually every letter her father wrote to her between 1938 and 1967. The letters reveal a caring, level-headed family man constantly worried about money and career. Frank Ferrante as Groucho is outstanding, warm and witty. The problem with this audio presentation lies in the dull parade of uninterest-ing letters and equally dull anecdotes by Miriam Marx Allen. After a while, one truly stops caring about the problems of this father and daughter. This is a shame because boring is something Groucho Marx never ever was.

The Regents of the University of Michigan have just announced that, beginning in January, it will offer in-state tuition to all resident students regardless of immigration status. Michigan joins New York and 15 other states with policies providing access to higher education for immigrants in some form. Most of the policies were prompted in part to help unauthorized immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children (referred to as "Dreamers") and have lived essentially as U.S. citizens all their lives, but who are often denied tuition help for college.
The current immigration reform proposal before Congress includes portions of the DREAM Act, which would level the playing field for Dreamers who apply and seek financial aid for college. Until that passes into federal law, however, Dreamers have to rely on individual states and universities to change their policies to be less discriminatory against immigrants.
To qualify for in-state tuition at the University of Michigan, young immigrants will have to have attended a middle school in the state for two years and also attend a Michigan high school for at least three years. Qualification is further limited by a requirement to apply for the U of M within 28 months of graduating from high school. (New York requires Dreamers to attend a state high school for two years in order to qualify.)
Unfortunately, no information is yet available about whether Dreamers will have access to state financial aid or scholarships, which are still barred by federal policy. Nevertheless, offering in-state tuition brings college into reach for many Dreamers who could never afford the full rate.
For example, one Dreamer wrote on the ACLU's Blog of Rights that he had been admitted to the University of Michigan after being brought to the U.S. as a kindergartener and living in Michigan his whole live. In high school, he earned a 3.86 GPA, played varsity soccer, participated in numerous service and scholarly organizations, and was even named homecoming king. He was thrilled to be admitted, but his euphoria was dashed when he realized that as an unauthorized immigrant, he would have to pay $40,392 a year to attend, while other Michigan residents only had to pay $13,142.
Let's congratulate the University of Michigan for welcoming Dreamers into its student body at in-state rates. At the same time, work still needs to be done to ensure that all Dreamers have affordable access to higher education across the nation.

Ten years ago, at least 16 percent of all children in Santa Clara County did not have any health insurance; today that figure is less than 4 percent thanks to the Children's Health Initiative.
CHI, which celebrated its 10-year anniversary at a party on Nov. 30, came about when Santa Clara County politicians, including former vice mayor Judy Chirco and current Assemblyman Jim Beall, found that many children of low-income parents were traveling to emergency rooms at a taxpayer cost of $2,000 for health care after they became ill.
To save money, keep children in school and provide preventive care, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors along with the South Bay Labor Council and PACT (People Acting in Community Together) pushed to build the CHI, allowing all children from birth through age 18 access to health insurance.
In 2001, Beall was chairman of the county's board of supervisors. He decided it was important to protect the more than 70,000 county children who had no medical insurance. "It was of both fiscal and moral importance," he said recently in an interview.
During that year, he organized the group and got money through the state's tobacco lawsuit and campaigned to raise money through the private sector to get CHI going.
San Jose's city council initially decided not to support the new program with its tobacco funds. But Chirco, the then newly elected District 9 council member, pushed the program and got the council to vote a second time, thus garnering the necessary support, Beall told The Resident. In addition, state voters passed a 50-cent tax on cigarettes that would eventually help support CHI. Private grants came through and for the past seven years, the Silicon Valley Leadership Group and Applied Materials have sponsored the Thanksgiving Turkey Trot, which also pours funding into CHI.
"We wanted the health program to be simple without spending lots of money developing and implementing the process," Beall said. "So we designed a simple application that allows 90 percent of the funding to go for health care, not paperwork."
Prevention and early intervention save taxpayer money, Beall added. The health insurance allows children to see a doctor before they get sick and prevent costly visits to hospital emergency rooms. Providing health insurance is less expensive than emergency room visits.
"When we started the program, 35 percent of county children had abscessed teeth–not cavities, but abscesses. That number shocked us, and I can't imagine how those poor kids sat through classes with their mouths hurting so badly," Beall recalled.
"CHI provides dental care through mobile vans, and now the incidence of abscesses has gone way down. It will go down even further now that the Santa Clara Valley Water District plans to fluoridate the water," Beall added.
San Jose's child population is 260,593, according to the 2010 U.S. Census. That's about 28 percent of the city's total population of 934,415. One year after CHI started, the proportion of children in fair and poor health decreased by one-third, according to CHI statistics. Children missing three or more school days dropped 50 percent, keeping youngsters in school and, at the same time, ensuring better funding for schools, which do not receive funding when students are absent.
However, due to the tight budget circumstances and tough economic situation, Kathleen King, CHI executive director, said, "We are barely holding the program together."
"Every funding source we have is critical to the program. If we lose another major funder, we will have to dis-enroll kids and I don't want to do that," King added.
