Football Federation Australia (FFA) Chair Mr Chris Nikou was today elected as the second ever Australian to serve on the Executive Committee of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).
Nikou, together with FFA Chief Executive Officer Mr David Gallop AM, was in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia today to attend the 29th AFC Congress where the quadrennial elections took place.
The AFC Congress, which is held annually and brings together the 47 Member Associations that comprise the AFC, included on the agenda elections for the position of AFC President and positions on the AFC Executive Committee (including the AFC Vice Presidents and Asia's representatives on the FIFA Council).
Nikou was successfully elected with a term of four (4) years.
"I would first like to thank my colleagues across Asia for entrusting me with the responsibility that a position on the AFC Executive Committee entails," Nikou said. "Recognising that responsibility, I am committed to working hard to support the development of the world game across the entire Asian football community."
"Since joining the AFC in 2006, Australia has sought to learn from as well as support our fellow Member Associations in Asia. We have shared knowledge and expertise through serving on various AFC committees, added to the commercial growth of Asian football and delivered a range of development programs across the Confederation. Australia's hosting of the AFC Asian Cup in 2015 also set a new benchmark for Asia's flagship event.
"I am committed to raising even further Australia's engagement with Asia, and my new position on the AFC Executive Committee provides an opportunity to continue driving the relationship. Through the Executive Committee, we have an avenue to express Australia's position on different matters, hear matters of priority from other members and work collaboratively with the Asian football community to ensure the vision of the AFC is achieved – that Asia be the world's leading football confederation."
Nikou's election marks the formal conclusion of fellow Australian Moya Dodd's twelve years on the AFC Executive Committee. For a period Dodd served as the organisation's first ever female Vice President.
Dodd said: "I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to serve football and to contribute to issues I am passionate about - especially governance reform, women's football and diversity - at both AFC and at FIFA."
Nikou added: "Across a twelve-year period, Moya has represented Australia with distinction in Asia, especially with regard to making the game more inclusive for women and girls at all levels – from the boardroom to the grassroots. I would like to thank her for her contribution."
Comprised of the AFC President and 24 elected members from the 47 Member Associations that make up the AFC, the AFC Executive Committee is responsible for implementing the AFC's statutes, the decisions of the AFC Congress, as well as ratifying decisions made by AFC's Standing Committees.
Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa, the incumbent AFC President, was re-elected unopposed for a further four-year term as AFC President at the Congress following the withdrawal of the two other candidates prior to the election – Saoud Al-Mohannadi from Qatar and Mohammed Khalfan Al-Romaithi from the UAE.

Uncle Sam and The 'Erican Dream
|Costume type:
|Costumes for Couples
This homemade costume for couples entered our 2016 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Erica, the 'Uncle Sam and The 'Erican Dream' costume creator:
My boyfriend and I came up with this costume idea a few months ago. My name is Erica and his name is Sam, so we thought it would be clever for him to dress as Uncle Sam and since "Erica" is in the word "America," it would be perfectly fitting to dress as the 'Erican Dream. We always refer to ourselves as "SAMERICA," so this tied into that theme well. We spent weeks looking all over NY and CT for an Uncle Sam hat! It was difficult to find, but we finally found ONE in Norwalk, CT (after browsing in and calling every store). The blazer he is wearing was the LAST one on clearance at Spencer's, and happened to be in his size. For my outfit, I found my sparkly American Flag dress at Charlotte Russe, and then I went to the dollar store and discovered sparkly red letter stickers. I stuck them on the dress and spelled out 'Erican Dream. I also bought a sparkly blue and white christmas garland, shiny leggings, and white boots-- all for a pretty inexpensive price. We love the U.S.A. and we love each other, so we wanted to express and represent in the most spirited way we could!

General David the "Free Romantic Female"
BulkyBright posted a topic in General DiscussionA few weeks ago, I got an E-mail from this fine lady called "David," a, "Free romantic female," who is, "Looking for a good man who is over 28 years old". As you can tell, David is very good at finding men in her desired age demographic, which is made clear by the fact that she's looking to a 13-year-old secondary-school student for a, "Man who is over 28 years old". Anyhow, here's how the chat has gone so far. Excited to see how this plays out. Will update this thread when David responds in two weeks!

The West Los Angeles Democratic Club elected its new officers February 4th, including longtime member Cara Robin, who was unanimously appointed as the club's first female president.
"I'm gratified by the club's support and endorsement of my candidacy," said Robin, who is the fourth president elected since the club's establishment in 2002.
"Our organization has great diversification and that diversity is an asset. I'm proud to serve at the grassroots level and I look forward to working with other Democrats in ensuring that the Obama Administration can deliver on the change we truly seek."
Robin led a slate of candidates who were unopposed. Other officers elected were Alan Bail as vice president of political committees and Ingrid van Eckert as vice president for club operations.
In addition, Pat White-Lowe was elected treasurer, Julie Goodman secretary and Nadia Lawrence, Jesse Switzer and Marianne Tyler as members at-large.
The reorganization of the club's officers was chaired by retiring president Kelley Willis, who served as an elector for President Barack Obama in California.
Several candidates in the March 3rd primary election, including incumbent City Councilman Bill Rosendahl in the 11th District and City Councilwoman Wendy Greuel for city controller, addressed the club at the event to seek its endorsement. Other candidates who gave presentations to the audience were Steve Zimmer and Mike Stryer, candidates for the District 4 seat of the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education.
Los Angeles Community College Board of Trustees candidates also addressed the audience, including incumbent Angela Reddock in the second seat, Kelly Candaele in the fourth seat, and Greg Akili, Robert Nakahiro and incumbent Nancy Pearlman in the sixth seat race.
City Council candidate David "Ty" Vahedi, an attorney and former West LA Democratic Club member who is seeking Councilman Jack Weiss's seat in the Fifth District, was another speaker at the meeting.

Already running campaigns on Facebook and Instagram and want to expand to another platform, or simply want to learn more about another paid social media marketing option? Here is your quick guide to Pinterest promoted pins, which covers the basics, ad formats, and overall best practices.Pinterest is a great platform to grow brand awareness because most users, or "pinners," are highly engaged in its online community—they use the platform to find new ideas, be inspired by and share those ideas, or their own, with fellow pinners. Therefore, the key is producing engaging ads, or "promoted pins," and according to Pinterest, a pin's creative determines 80 percent of its success. Aim to make your pin actionable but rather than using an explicitly stated call-to-action, motivate pinners to take action using your creative.Since the product research phase can be up to four months on Pinterest, this platform may not be your top choice for immediate direct response goals, but it does offer good ad formats for acquisition efforts. The first format is "rich pins," in which Pinterest pulls real-time information from your site's product page and dynamically inserts that info into the pin, helping to boost click-through rates (CTR). The other is "buyable pins," which let users purchase your product directly on the Pinterest site/app, enabling seamless purchasing. Regardless of pin format, your creative is still the most important aspect of your ad, as engaging pins have been correlated with a ~2.5x sales increase.On the technical side of things, a set up to get you started is a campaign that focuses on a specific product and has two ad groups: One with Audience + Keyword targeting and the other with Interest + Keyword targeting. The ability to use ad groups was only recently launched, so advertisers now have more control over their campaigns because you can set budgets at the ad group level and also test different targeting parameters within the same campaign.Finally, here are some tips:
Pinterest, like all social media, is meant to be a fun experience to explore and share new ideas. Have fun trying out different types of promoted pins to engage with your audience!

Menendez: 'If it's Good Enough for Corporations, it's Good Enough for Middle Class Families'
Menendez: 'If it's Good Enough for Corporations, it's Good Enough for Middle Class Families'
Senator continues push for tax fairness for NJans who prepaid their 2018 property taxes in 2017
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Bob Menendez, a senior member of the Senate Finance Committee that sets national tax policy, today kept the heat on Trump Administration officials for denying thousands of New Jerseyans, who frantically prepaid their 2018 property taxes before the end of the year from fully deducting them from their federal taxes, in defiance of federal law.
Sen. Menendez pressed both Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and Acting Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commissioner David Kautter in two separate Finance hearings over the IRS's unjust December 27, 2017 directive effectively limiting the ability of taxpayers to deduct 2018 property taxes paid in 2017, despite no prohibition under federal law. The new tax law—passed in December but effective for the 2018 tax year—prohibits prepayment of state and local income taxes, but is silent on property taxes.
Turning to the "trickle down" bonuses the Trump Administration claims are being given to workers, Sen. Menendez called out the hypocrisy of their policy which lets corporations deduct the full amount of bonuses in 2017 regardless of whether or not they were paid in 2017, while simultaneously denying taxpayers the ability to deduct property taxes they actually paid. (Starts at 3:40)
"By deducting in 2017, corporations—to use your words Mr. Secretary—can 'game the system' and claim an even larger deduction in 2017 without spending a dime," said Sen. Menendez. "But in contrast, a middle-class family that actually paid their property taxes in 2017 won't be able to deduct them in the year that they paid, which to me is blatant hypocrisy, and would be shocking if it didn't so neatly fit into the pattern of an administration that puts corporations on Wall Street above the people who live on Main Street."
Secretary Mnuchin was insistent during his testimony that the IRS guidance was consistent with existing law prior to the new bill passing, though could not cite any specific law.
"Why would Section 11042 of the Trump Corporate Tax Bill specifically prohibit the deductibility of prepaid state income taxes? Why would the bill prohibit something that was already disallowed? That's simply illogical," Sen. Menendez pointed out. "In the law, can you point to me the section of the law that specifically prohibits the deduction of prepaid property taxes?"
"No, not in the bill, but in the IRS actual code," Secretary Mnuchin responded.
"Prior law doesn't prohibit the deduction of prepaid property taxes, prior law," Sen. Menendez continued. "The Trump Corporate Tax Bill doesn't prohibit the deduction of prepaid property taxes. Therefore, the property taxes should be deductible under the law."
The Trump Corporate Tax Law caps state and local tax (SALT) deductions at $10,000, which could result in double-taxing up to 1.8 million, or 40 percent of New Jersey taxpayers. In an attempt to alleviate this painful impact on their pocketbooks, many New Jerseyans, who had claimed a combined $32 billion in annual SALT deductions, frantically prepaid their 2018 property taxes in the final days of December 2017 – many standing in lines for hours.
Sen. Menendez, a senior member of the Senate Banking Committee, grilled Secretary Mnuchin during a Banking Committee hearing last month, in which the secretary said the IRS advisory was issued to prevent taxpayers from "abusing the system."
"I'm offended by that accusation," Sen. Menendez told Secretary Mnuchin during today's hearing. "The people of New Jersey work hard, they pay far more than our fair share of taxes, they pay way above their weight economically. We aren't just a blue state, we are a blue chip state that drives innovation and dynamism. So, we're not abusing the system. In our view, the system is abusing us."
Earlier this year, Sen. Menendez led a New Jersey Congressional delegation letter demanding the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rescind their directive that would prohibit New Jersey residents from deducting their prepaid 2018 property taxes from their 2017 federal taxes. The letter was signed by U.S. Senator Cory Booker and Reps. Donald Norcross (N.J.-01), Josh Gottheimer (N.J.-05), Frank Pallone, Jr. (N.J.-06), Albio Sires (N.J.-08), Bill Pascrell, Jr. (N.J.-09), Donald Payne, Jr. (N.J.-10) and Bonnie Watson Coleman (N.J.-12).
Sen. Menendez introduced an amendment to preserve full SALT deductions in December during Senate debate on the Trump tax plan, but Republicans struck it down on a strictly party-line vote.

It was Mother's Day; we dropped our silver brunch forks, rushed to Children's Hospital, peed on a ketone strip, and spent the following week in a crash course on Type 1 Diabetes.
Waiting in a pale blue room the size of a linen closet holding my daughter's moist shaky hand, I was transported into another realm of motherhood. One I was totally unprepared for, but highly equipped to handle. Thankfully, we humans are adaptable creatures.
Three months into a new manuscript, I was already exploring how illness challenges a family. Last Mother's Day in that airless room, I stared at my greatest fear, stood up and slammed the door.
"…Keira stands rooted. A tear running in a silvery streak of defiance down her cheek. She's eight years old and holding on to the fleshy remnants of infancy in body alone. This household has stolen her innocence and crushed it under its leaden heel. We're all in hell she tells herself turning her back on her daughter. I'm tired of pretending it's ok, because it's not…it's not f***ing ok and never will be…"

Apple shakes up retail workforce with new and renamed job titles, other changes
In an "all-hands" meeting for retail staff this weekend, Apple reportedly introduced a slew of significant changes including three new job titles, renamed existing positions, and even an updated corporate credo it wants workers to follow.
The new jobs — applicable in the U.S. and the U.K., and possibly elsewhere — include "Pro," "Creative Pro," and "Technical Expert," according to MacRumors. The first is a sales position above Expert, and reserved for the people the most familiar with Apple products. Creative Pros have similar level of knowledge, but applied to learning.
Technical Experts will fill a new middleground between Technical Specialists and Geniuses, helping to alleviate wait times for support. The people will for instance take on some mobile repairs — something that was previously restricted to Geniuses — while doing troubleshooting for some other products and software, two examples being the Apple Watch and Apple TV.
Meanwhile the company has renamed the different sections of the store, changing the sales floor from the "Red Zone" to the "Product Zone," and "Back-of-House" to "Backstage." Appropriately some job titles have been altered — Red Zone Specialists are now simply "Specialists," while Back-of-House and Inventory Specialists have become "Operations Specialists" and "Operations Pros."
"Family Room Specialists" have also been turned into "Technical Specialists" though, and "Business Specialists" are now "Business Experts."
The new credo has six stanzas and sets out broad aspirations. "We are here to enrich lives," the text begins. "To help dreamers become doers, to help passion expand human potential, to do the best work of our lives."
Separately, a unconfirmed tip received by AppleInsider suggests that Apple is establishing its sixth Hong Kong store in the APM Mall, Kwun Tong in the Kowloon area. China has become a focus of the company's retail expansion, particularly Hong Kong, given the city's wealth. The person claimed that Apple could have the outlet open in time for next month's "iPhone 7" launch.

Many people never achieve their goals in life because they have consciously or unconsciously chosen to be mediocre. They wonder why they never seem to excel like X or Y. They have not realized that the set of values by which they live is a set up for mediocrity and consequently a sub-standard life.
- When you lack the desire and determination to pursue excellence and the higher things in life.
- When you get satisfaction from a sub-standard quality of life.
- When you are unwilling to pay the price and go for a better alternative even when it is possible to do so.
- When you are stuck in the rut of your weaknesses and will not challenge limitations and obstacles on your way.
When you do not believe that God is whom He says He is, that He can do what He says He can do, when you do not believe in yourself as a well of potential created by God you will live a life that is below expectations. Low self-esteem is usually a result of ignorance about who you are and what you have in Christ. When Jesus came on the scene, He knew exactly who He was so no amount of negative appellations and criticism could put Him down.
When you look at creation you will see a Creator who loves quality. You are created in His image, so that quality is innate in you.
- Get to know the Word of God and what He says about you. You are fearfully and wonderfully created (Psalms 139:14). You are a chosen generation (I Peter 2:9).
- You deserve the best things in life. You are blessed because you are of the household of faith. (Galatians 3:7-9).
- Make up your mind to be the best, to go for excellence in everything you do. You can do it (Philippians 4:13).

The United States women's national soccer team (USWNT) proved yet again that they are the best of the best, after successfully defending their World Cup trophy in France on Sunday. The highly-motivated squad beat the European Champions, Netherlands 2-0 in the Women's World Cup.
Although US midfielder Megan Rapinoe had admitted her disappointment with FIFA for scheduling the match on Sunday, coinciding with the Copa America and the CONCACAF Gold Cup finals, the world was tuned in the Parc Olympique Lyonnais. Despite Rapinoe's fears that the other two finals would take away the shine from women's match, last Sunday's World Cup was ranked as one of the highest-rated television broadcasts in sports history. In the US alone, about 14 million people watched the finals on TV according to Nielsen ratings.
Soccer fans from across the globe held their breath during the 90 -minute epic clash praying that perhaps the wind could blow to their side.
After a tense first half, the USWNT finally managed to break the wall after they were awarded a penalty in the 61st minute. Rapinoe took the first goal of the match and Rose Lavelle buried their opponent's title hopes after netting the second goal eight minutes later.
Although the Netherlands tried their best to break the US defense, their attempts proved futile as the USA side stood their ground until the final whistle.
Let's take a look at the history of the USWNT and their journey in the four-week tournament, which was riddled with a number of controversies.
Controversies surrounded the US team in the 2019 World Cup
During the early stages of the tournament, Rapinoe, a strong critic of the US President Donald Trump, stated that she would not go to White House in the event her team is invited, sparking controversy. Earlier, the US team had also been criticized for over-celebrating during their record 13-0 win against Thailand in the group stage matches.
Not long after, England Coach Phil Neville questioned the USA's etiquette after USA coach Jill Ellis' staff were seen at England team's hotel in Lyon before the semis. While some had suggested that the staff was there to spy, both coaches downplayed the claims.
Ellis' team then found themselves under scrutiny for the umpteenth time after the US forward Alex Morgan's "tea-sipping" celebration drew mixed reactions in the football world. Morgan was pictured holding the trophy and pretended to take a sip of tea after they won against the Netherlands on Sunday. This did not go well with a number of fans who perceived it as mocking England and its love for tea.
The USA's journey to the fourth World Cup title
The United States women's national team quest for the fourth World Cup crown began early.
First, the USA team side won all the matches in the group stage, to emerge at the top of Group F with nine points, scoring 18 goals in the process.
They would further cement their prowess in the tournament after beating France 2-1 in the quarters and later defeating England 2-1 in the tournament's semi-final. They finally beat the Netherlands in the finals to carry their fourth title home.
The USA's World Cup history
Before Sunday's finals, USWNT already won the World Cup three times; in 1991, 2011 and 2015. During the 2015 World Cup, the US thrashed Japan 5-2 at BC Place Stadium in Canada.
Apart from the trophy in this year's tournament, the US achieved another feat for most goals in the World Cup tournament, after thrashing Thailand 13-0 in their first group stage match.
The US Women's World Cup history in France was made possible by their strong desire to win, a dedicated coach, and a number of highly skilled players that showed their A-game in every match.
Players such as Megan Rapinoe, Carli Lloyd, Alex Morgan, Ali Krieger, Morgan Brian, among others, played crucial roles in the US' performance in the World Cup. Against all odds, the United States women's national team stood the test and delivered a thrilling and memorable World Cup final ever.

Bring Chianti Home For The Holidays
|HEALDSBURG, Calif., Dec. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Tuscan tradition calls for gathering around the table with friends and family, especially during the holidays, and no Tuscan table is complete without a bottle of Chianti to accompany the meal. This season, the Chianti experts at DaVinci® Wine are sharing recipes and pairings to help bring Chianti home to tables here in the U.S.
From Southern-Style Pulled Pork with Chianti Barbecue Sauce to Chocolate Chianti Jubilee Cake, the well-balanced DaVinci Chianti pairs beautifully with a range of menus, bringing a taste of Tuscan tradition to American tables this holiday season.
As a complement to its annual Storyteller Experience – a program designed to give creative types a once-in-a-lifetime look at the people and place behind DaVinci's distinguished wines in the beautiful Tuscan town of Vinci – a handful of talented Storyteller alumni brought DaVinci Chianti to their holiday table, creating these inspired recipes:
With a deep crimson color and jammy flavors of ripe plums, cherries and red fruit, DaVinci Chianti has round tannins that linger in a long peppery finish. Suggested pairings also include appetizers, pastas and meat dishes.
Over the past four years, the Storyteller Experience has sent 16 creative individuals – from food bloggers to artists and photographers – to Vinci, Italy, to experience the home of Chianti and the people and the place behind the cooperative of more than 200 growers who work together to produce DaVinci wines.

WASHINGTON — House Republicans announced Friday they were creating a special task force to investigate allegations that U.S. Central Command's top intelligence officials pressured analysts to discard parts of their reports that reflected poorly on the war effort in Iraq and Syria.
The chairmen of the Armed Services and Intelligence committees and the Appropriations Defense subcommittee said the task force would "investigate allegations that senior U.S. Central Command officials manipulated intelligence products" and "examine whether these allegations reflect systemic problems across the intelligence enterprise in CENTCOM or any other pertinent intelligence organizations."
The Obama administration has faced questions about whether intelligence was doctored, producing flawed assessments that overstated the progress of the United States and its coalition partners in the fight against Islamic State militants.
The Pentagon's inspector general is investigating the allegations of intelligence puffery.
A former Central Command official said more than 50 intelligence analysts had complained that their conclusions were undercut. One or more senior analysts from the command made a written complaint to the Defense Department inspector general in July, prompting an investigation that officials have publicly acknowledged.
Last month, President Barack Obama said he has repeatedly made clear to intelligence officials that they should never shade their assessments to produce a "feel good story."
Obama was questioned during a news conference in Malaysia about a New York Times report that said military analysts felt their supervisors were eager to paint a more optimistic picture than warranted about training Iraqi troops and fighting the Islamic State.
Obama said he's made clear that "I never want them to hold back." He said he has left it up to the inspector general to determine what has happened.
Even so, Obama said, he believes that "we've had a pretty clear-eyed, sober assessment" of what has happened in Iraq and the fight against IS.
The committee chairmen — Mac Thornberry of Texas, Devin Nunes of California and Rodney Frelinghuysen of New Jersey — said three Republicans who serve on the defense and intelligence panels would lead the task force, which will produce preliminary results early next year. They are Republican Reps. Ken Calvert of California, Mike Pompeo of Kansas and Brad Wenstrup of Ohio.
House Republicans already have established select committees that are investigating the deadly 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans and Planned Parenthood's practice of providing fetal tissue for scientific research.

With winter all wrapped up, we're prepping to ditch the dark hair and trench coats for our trendiest summer hairstyles yet. Whether you'll opt for a colour, a cut, or prefer to keep it simple with new accessories and styling, this summer is your chance to make a statement.
We've spoken to celebrity hair stylist and beauty guru Michael Brown for an insight into what has been happening in the US, Europe and the catwalk and what we can expect to be flaunting in our own warmer weather.
Michael who works regularly with Jesinta Campbell and Nikki Phillips told us that this summer we should "expect to see a return to nature with lots of texture, movement and having fun with colour".
Read more below to find out what will be trending throughout the season and the celebrity hairstyles we've been loving such as:
While blondes and coppers are a great add-in to an existing colour, and are classic summer colours, this season hair in all hues of rose are set to take over the darker colours of winter. Celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Lucy Hale and Katy Perry have already given shades varying from rose gold to pastels a whirl.
So, whether you've been thinking about making the change for years or have recently seen the celebrities opting for pink tones, this is your chance. The look can be as bold or subtle as you like, so go ahead and get colouring!
"I have always been a fan of warmer tones in summer, it can brighten your mood and they're perfect for typical summery toned outfit choices," says Michael.
With freshly dyed hair and extra exposure to the sun and ocean, it's important to protect your hair. Use a hair dryer that maintains an optimal temperature of 70C, eliminates heat spots that damage the hair fibre and reduces the time it takes to dry.
For those not willing to make the change more permanently, Michael suggests trying out a rose gold 'one day wear' colour. "Be playful and edgy with all your hair decisions this summer! Keep the icy, blue tone shades for cooler months".
For inspiration, check out model Megan Blake Irwin's lighter locks, which always look effortlessly styled. Actress/influencer Sarah Ellen just went lighter too, in a very cool yet chic fashion.
In the midst of a resurgence of all things 90's, it should come as no surprise that the choppy and angled 90's bob is making a comeback. Countless celebrities have jumped on board with the textured, chin-grazing cut, and we are LOVING IT. With Margot Robbie, Bella Hadid and Selena Gomez among the many A-listers reliving the 90's through the stylish chop, join the cult and say hello to something a little edgier!
Michael Brown suggests following Jesinta Franklin and Cara Delevigne for inspiration for short, platinum blonde styles. For the brunettes, keep an eye on Lara Worthington's new short brunette toned do.
In terms of styling shorter do's, it's all about texture and waves. Use a ceramic curler to best achieve a wavy style on shorter hair. Michael says before using his ceramic curlers:
Changing up the barrel size will result in different curl types. Use the 38mm Ceramic Curler for a loose bend, 25mm Ceramic Curler for a wavy style or the 19mm Ceramic Curler for tighter curls.
MICHAEL'S HOT TIP: "If you have followed trends of going shorter with your hair look, when adding in waves and/or movement to your hair, you don't have to curl the very back of your hair, especially the real bottom layer, as this will shorten your style. It's nice to still have length at the very back, so just focus on adding movement to the front and sides. Shake out and you are good to go for tousled texture!"
Side-swept bangs, also known as a curtain fringe, have been filling our feed throughout the European summer and the look is due to travel here too. Whether you want to create a more interesting look in your medium-length hair or want to combine this look with the 90's bob for the chicest summer look out there, side-swept bangs will do the work for you.
Unlike with shorter, more classic fringes, this versatile style means you can still pull it back into a twist, braid or pony to dress it up. This summer is the perfect time to take the plunge and for more inspiration we've put together 7 hairstyles with bangs.
Are you sick of spending hours washing, drying and styling your long hair? Or have you decided that your bob just isn't dramatic enough for you? The pixie cut is our favourite short hairstyle for women this summer and the girl you need to look to for inspiration is the pixie pro Michelle Williams!
Whether you go for a shorter, edgier look or a more feminine and wavy style, the power is in your hands to make the pixie cut your own. "Women are becoming more playful with hair, but rather than going girly, they are getting edgier," says Michael.
Forever a classic, beach waves are back and better than ever. Bringing volume and texture to shorter cuts and fresh life to longer 'do's, this summer hairstyle is a universal pleaser for all ages. For those not ready to colour or make a major hair change, this is the summer look for you!
For this style, Michael Brown recommends the use of 'dry' styling products which help create texture and volume and can make using styling tools seem more effortless. His best tips include:
Adding an element of luxe to your summer style is the sleek ponytail and bun look. Perfect for those with mid-long hair, this protective style will help you avoid sweat, frizz and flyaways in the incoming soaring temps and humidity.
To achieve a sleek look Michael recommends straightening hair to "smooth away any dryness in the hair, add shine and create healthier looking ends".
For salon-worthy straight hair try the VS Sassoon Digital Sensor Straightener which features Hair Protect Sensor Mode for optimal hair protection on all hair types.
Perfect for work, every day, weekends and festivals, the sleek ponytail or bun has you sorted. Pair with some statement earrings and you're ready to go!
Another 2018 trend that shows no sign of slowing, is hair accessories. Hair scarves add some fun to a look and can be used in so many ways whether that be tied into a ponytail, weaved into a plait or wrapped around the head. It's not just scarves though, scrunchies, barrette clips, ribbons and headbands are all ways to put that little extra glam to your look.
If you're after hairstyles with fascinators, keep an eye on Michael Brown's Instagram as he helps Australia's leading ladies get race day ready for the spring and summer carnivals.
Michaels Hot Tip: Accessorising requires no dramatic changes to your own hair and is an extremely achievable way to stay on trend. All hair requires a little more work over warmer months though, and Michael suggests using a conditioning hair mask every now and then, especially if you're swimming a lot.
Now that you've figured out what kind of hairstyle you want to wear this summer season, create them at home! Our range of dryers, stylers and straighteners will help you own your summer hairstyle without any effort!

I had to re-submit my weigh in photo for a dietbet game that I wanted to join, but for some reason was unable to download any new photos. I can take a dozen photos of my feet standing on the scales and come up with a dozen different weights. Even the 2 photos above have 2 different weights.
I can still log into the game and see how everyone else is doing, but I will be doing it on my own, during this game time. Unfortunately I don't get the $35 refunded that I already paid to participate in this game. I will probably just have to find my own way to motivate myself without joining any future games also, because paying for something and then being disqualified for it before I can actually start is not something I want to waste money on.
I tried sending pics to dietbet on 2 different days, and it didn't go through or get accepted. But I know that I need to lose weight with or without a team of others on any website. I need to do this for myself, so I will be my own cheer squad.
I have made many excuses, told myself to many lies…like I will start Monday or after a special occasion or whatever lie/excuse fit the moment. With every lie I would gain more weight, until I am now over 200# for the first time in my life. I am "HOPING" it's the last time I ever see a number over 200 on the scales.

Recommendations for Stacpoole Music Tutorials
These books have increased my understanding of the basics of musical theory and have helped me communicate better with my fellow musicians. I have met many in the same boat as me, able to feel but unable to read the music, Lyle's books are the bridge between the two written in layman's terms.
- Dean T.
For someone who knows nothing about music, this book would be a valuable aid. One is introduced to learning to read music step by step and the explanations come across clear and simple.
- Pam F.
I found the books very easy to follow. I recognise now how important music theory is to improvement with my instrument, yet how simple it is. I also found the style of learning enjoyable.
- Chris C.
With conventional music tutoring I was losing my ability to "play by ear" but with Lyle's style of teaching I learned so much about music theory without losing that natural ability and the additional knowledge helped me become a better piano player, able to learn new pieces and play alongside other musicians more quickly and easier.
- Chey R.

800xa Visual Basic: Error Calling ut the graphic aspect
We've cloned an operator station with 800xa 5.0 sp2 rev E. It is connected to our testsystem
When trying to view any graphic display i get the error message displayed in the attachment
"Error calling up the graphic element" etc. Usually this comes if the aspect is not deployed. But clicking "edit" does not open up VB. Right clicking and "deploy" does nothing either.
I have checked the same displayes from a different machine on the same test system and they render fine.
"file set distribution" service is fine
Visual Basic 6.0 starts fine when launching from start menu
Where should i start to look?
Voted best answer
I'm leaning toward Ronny's suggestion; but widen it a bit:
- Check that service account *OWNS* all files in OperateITData and OperateITTemp.
Cloning a different system's client can cause files therein to be inaccessible to the service account. Use "Take ownership" on these folders and *ALL* files below them.
Then erase FsdCache folder
Then rerun Software User Settings from the Config Wizard
Then start workplace and test again.
verify that your 800xA user is a Local administrator on your computer, and also the 800xA Service account. (If not configure and restart)
Remove all folders under OperateITTemp/ActiveGraphics on the computer and then try to Edit.
Can you see a new folder under ActiveGraphics after Edit, and does it contains any archives with content ?
That solved it. All the files had messed up security settings. Following Stefans instructions did the trick!
I don't know how to mark that best answer - but thanks to both of you.

Program Excellence Award
Why Choose the UBC Sauder Project Management program?
This award-winning program is taught by experienced industry professionals who are committed to supporting students who aspire to lead within their organization, while building competencies in project management. The program draws upon a wide range of real-life case study examples where projects have succeeded and, a wealth of original research on why projects fail – enabling you as a Project Manager to see the direct application of the processes as you learn them. This program also is unique in that it has been designed to focus on the competencies needed in any role – rather than specifically just a Project Manager role – a perspective that many other programs in this area simply don't take. Both the Bootcamp and Online delivery options are aligned with not just the Project Management Institute (PMI)® industry standards (PMBOK® Guide) but also the PMI Agile Practice Guide and PMI Talent Triangle.

"The most helpful aspect of the program is that each module is taught by a different project management professional with a proven track record of completing big projects on time. Their experience reinforced the course material, as each instructor could provide real-life case studies. I also appreciated the key business management ideas that were integrated into the curriculum. In essence, the course was like a mini-MBA!" - Zachary Musa, Project Manager, STEMCELL Technologies.

Autumn is not everyone's cup of tea. The leaves fall from the trees, the first half of the year is gone, the thermometer reading slowly approaches thick sweater level, and the holidays are over. But autumn is a special time in Klagenfurt am Wörthersee. The people of Klagenfurt meet up to enjoy their leisure time in the many city centre cafés, with coffee specialities and Carinthian delicacies on the menu.
On the Kreuzbergl and around Klagenfurt, the moderate temperatures are ideal for cycling, running and hiking. Guided sightseeing tours through the city centre are popular, and both long-established and younger artists display their works in museums and galleries such as the Stadtgalerie or the Museum of Modern Art. Literature lovers might be drawn to the Robert Musil Museum, while art meets religion in the chapel of the parish church of St. Egid in the centre of Klagenfurt, which was designed by Professor Ernst Fuchs. The Stadttheater offers an enticing programme featuring works by both international and local artists, while music lovers get their money's worth at the Kammerlichtspiele jazz club.
Visitors with children enjoy the large playground in the Europapark, or Minimundus – the miniature world on Lake Wörthersee – where miniature models of the most famous buildings in the world can be admired. A ride on the Lend Canal tramway is also great fun for children, while the numerous high class shops in the city centre are a treat for their parents. During a stroll through the old town, numerous fashion boutiques, furniture stores, souvenir shops and shoe stores offer a huge choice, and you are sure to find a bargain or two. A series of festivals also take place in Klagenfurt during the autumn, where you can show off your newly-purchased outfit for the first time.

Ever since I was 16, my dream was to help youths, their socioemotional wellbeing. This dream was spurred on by the fact that I volunteered at an orphanage, and witnessed what abuse and abandonment did to these kids. And, that is one of the main reasons why I took Psychology as my major, even pursuing it up till the PhD level in Hawaii.
I know many people would think I am having fun, but I rarely did because I was mostly doing work in the lab or at home…
However, as the years passed, I became disillusioned with the academic world because I realized that the knowledge I've gained wasn't helping children directly, but more for the benefit of the academic community. Thus, I made a decision to come back to Malaysia to do research instead of staying there.
The month after I successfully defended my dissertation proposal, I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer on June 20th 2014, and that was the start of a whole new path for me. Not only did I NOT question God as to why I had it, I felt steadfast in healing because I knew that I had a reason for having it!That reason didn't come till about 6 months into my recovery process when my friends kept pushing me to share my story on my blog.
The first day checking out of the hospital after my first surgery… So happy to be out, but wasn't prepared of what's to come handling a colostomy bag!
What turned out to be a new year's post became viral! From one blog post, to the outpouring of love, and support from people from all walks of life, to my calling to want to help youths with cancer BECAUSE I myself felt alone while dealing with it. Trust me, I googled for someone my age who had a colostomy bag to talk too, but I couldn't find anyone. At first, it was really difficult adjusting to it, but once I've accepted it, the 6 weeks wait wasn't that bad…
Then in August 2015, I decided to start a movement on my own called #sharestrength, to get people to voice out their experiences with the Big-C, or any illness for that fact. This would be able to help others feel like they are not alone in their journey too, and we fast track it to February where I met the Vice President of The National Cancer Society of Malaysia at the Axa event I was hosting. She was pleased to hear my story, and the rest they say is history….
With cancer survivors from the Axa event
I will be the First Youth Ambassador for the National Cancer Society of Malaysia(NCSM), starting May 1st, and we will have our first youth cancer support group on May 28th! Please tell friends who have had cancer, are survivors, or caretakers to join us from 10.30am to 1pm at the NCSM building!
Now, my dream to help youths is coming true in a way I didn't expect, and I guess that was one of the compelling reasons why I didn't questions God. Do support me in this appointment as I hope to raise cancer awareness in Malaysia to a higher level…
Together we can,
Mei Sze

Given that it is quite feasible for energy saving upgrades on data centres to achieve a Return on Investment (RoI) of 30% p.a. or more, and given that even if you have to borrow the money at commercial rates you will be unlikely to be paying more than about 8%, it is a wonder that these schemes do not have a higher up-take. If, as many organisations do, you have cash in the bank then the attraction should be even greater with your deposits earning just 2% or 3% p.a. at best.
Could it be that the schemes on offer sound too good to be true and so are not taken seriously?
If that is your concern then let's take a look at a couple of actual examples.

Today's question is: If you find a book that looks interesting but is part of a series, do you always start with the first title?
I will always start with the first in a series. Unless they are stand-alones set in the same universe, I may start in the middle, but even then I tend to read books in the order the author meant to us to read them. I would feel like I was missing something if I didn't start at the beginning of the book.

We last saw Kenslie Shealy in the spring of 2015, as she was settling back into life at home in South Carolina after a long stay at Boston Children's Hospital. Kenslie, now 4, had emergency surgery for midaortic syndrome (MAS), a rare condition that affects the heart and kidneys. Untreated, the condition can lead to damage in the brain, intestines and limbs.
At Boston Children's, Kenslie's multi-disciplinary team included specialists in cardiology, interventional cardiology, nephrology, transplant and vascular surgery, interventional radiology, genetics and rheumatology.
She recovered well after her first surgery, performed by kidney and liver surgeon Dr. Heung Bae Kim, but her parents, Lori and Calvin, knew she wasn't "out of the woods" quite yet. Kenslie would eventually need a follow-up surgery to further expand her aorta. She needed to grow a bit more first, so her doctors didn't set a date for her second procedure.
"They thought she was going to have to wait longer, until she was about 7 or 10 years old, but she's already outgrowing the stents they put in last winter," says Lori. "So they scheduled her for September. It's a good sign. It means she's healthy, developing well and was ready for it before they thought she would be."
This summer, while Kenslie played outside and swam as much as possible, her parents planned for what they hoped will be their last multi-week stay in Boston for some time. …

Saoirse Ronan At Academy Awards: Copy Her Stunning Waves For Under $10
Saoirse Ronan had one of my favorite looks at the 2016 Academy Awards and her exact hair look can be achieved with products with the drugstore!
Saoirse Ronan, 21, looked absolutely amazing at the Oscars on Feb. 28. Her cool, undone waves were so gorgeous against her sparkling gown. Get the look with products that cost under $10 right here!
Hairstylist Adir Abergel was inspired by her gorgeous Calvin Klein dress. "I wanted to give her an undone, textured blowout with a brushed out beautiful wave hand raked back away from the face."
Saoirse Ronan At Academy Awards — Gorgeous Waves & Smokey Eye
Here's how to get the look:
"Adir started by applying John Frieda Luxurious Volume Perfectly Full Mousse all over the roots on towel dried hair. He then air-dried the hair with 100% cold air to achieve maximum volume.
Then using a medium sized round brush, he dried the hair applying hot air to form the style.
Then he divided the hair in two-inch sections and wrapped each section into a Velcro roller allowing it cool and set. He did this throughout the entire head."
"Before removing the rollers, he sprayed John Frieda Luxurious Volume Forever Full Hairspray to set the look. He then removed the rollers, applying more spray to a Mason Pearson brush and brushed the hair into soft textured sexy waves.
He then backcombed the front pieces of hair to create height for a sexy sultry side swept effect. To finish, he misted John Frieda Luxurious Volume Forever Full Hairspray to lock in the style for the night."
Her gorgeous smokey eye was done by makeup artist Mai Quynh, who said: "For the makeup look tonight, I was inspired by Saoirse's sparkly, emerald-green dress. I wanted the eyes to be the focus: I kept the skin neutral and fresh, while the eyes were smoky and sensual."
To get her eye look, follow these steps from Mai: "I started the eye look by applying CHANEL Illusion D'Ombre Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow in Mysterio, from lashline to crease. Then, I layered with CHANEL Quadra Eyeshadow in Tissé Smoky. I applied the palette's grey shadow all over the lower lid, and added the black shade along the lashline and into the crease. I smudged grey shadow along the lower lashline and rimmed the eyes with CHANEL Stylo Yeux Waterproof Long-Lasting Eyeliner in Feuilles. I finished with two coats of CHANEL Le Volume de Chanel Mascara in Noir."
