It is week 3 of the Fall One Room Challenge, and I am back to share the dramatic transformation of our white painted cabinets.
Hey friends! Wow, I can't believe that we are already at the halfway point of the Fall One Room Challenge. I am so excited to share some major progress with you today – our white painted cabinets! Getting these cabinets painted white is truly the one thing that completely transformed the look and feel of our entire downstairs. It took the painters the better part of a week to complete this, and we felt kind of like we were living in a bubble, because they sectioned off the whole room with plastic and we had no access to anything in our kitchen.
Catch up On all of my posts for this One Room Challenge:

Modern Farmhouse Kitchen Reveal
If you have not heard of the One Room Challenge (also called ORC), currently in its 16th season, it is a widely anticipated biannual event every April and October. Each round, twenty design bloggers take the challenge and transform a space. It is hosted by Better Homes and Gardens. Wednesdays is the day for the design bloggers to go live with their progress, and Thursdays is the day for all the guest participants to go live. You guys will be amazed at these reveals, they are just beyond words good!
If you found me through the ORC Link up, welcome! I am so happy you are here! My name is Nicki and I am the blogger behind Sweet Parrish Place. I love to share our DIY and home decor shenanigans, along with some organization, fashion, travel and other lifestyle types of topics. Thanks for reading!
Having our cabinets painted by professionals meant we had to eat out and find ways to spend our time in the evenings. I mean, you won't hear me complaining about having to eat out – EVER! But not having access to our pantry grew old very quickly. I made the mistake of not thinking ahead, so I did not remove anything from our pantry beforehand. Big mistake, huge! My husband was not happy that he couldn't get to any snacks at night time. So take my advice, if you are having your cabinets professionally painted, remove the items you might need from your pantry beforehand. Let's get started, because I am dying to share more of my white painted cabinets with you!
You might be wondering why we called in the pros for this, when I have painted cabinets before – see my One Room Challenge reveal of our kitchen in our old house – and the reason is because I just painted the cabinets in our old house about a year ago, and I was not up to the challenge again so soon. Painting cabinets is serious business. It is very time consuming, and hard to be honest. So this time I decided to let the professionals take care of it, since we could afford it for this renovation.
As you can see in the photo below, we also had them make the refrigerator look built-in by having them build cabinetry on the right side of the refrigerator. Our new refrigerator just slides right into that opening and it made the kitchen look much more high end.
All of the top cabinets were custom built. to match the existing cabinets exactly. Eventually they will have glass doors. Except for the cabinets above the refrigerator and the stove. Those doors will be solid because I want to have some space to store things that should not be seen, like small appliances and lunch boxes. Coming home each day and seeing the progress on our white painted cabinets made me to giddy!
You can see here that I chose a contrasting color for our kitchen island. This dark color is called Kendall Charcoal by Benjamin Moore. And the white I chose for the white painted cabinets is called Simply White by Benjamin Moore.
It was a complete disaster around here for about 5 days, and miraculously, on the fifth day I came home, and they were finished and all of the plastic was down, and it was glorious!! I will show a quick photo below that I shared last week of the progress when they were building the cabinets, and then right below is the same view when everything was fully painted.
Tada! Isn't is so amazing what the power of paint can do! I mean, it wasn't just paint really. It was also the cabinets that were built above that go all the way to the ceiling. I am obsessed you guys!! Even without the glass doors, I am just so in love with this transformation. This is shaping up to be the best kitchen I have ever had so far in my adult life, and I am just super psyched for it. Also, take note in the two photos above of the ceiling. We had it painted white, and it made such a huge difference. We had all of the ceilings in the downstairs painted white, and it seems so much more light and airy in our home now.
There is still so much more to share with you guys, like the new farmhouse lanterns over the island, the island transformation, the new counters, and the backsplash. And I still have quite a bit of work to do in this room. Last weekend I spent a good bit of time trying to choose paint colors for the walls or the kitchen and breakfast room, the bar stools, and three doors. I have to paint the pantry door, the door that leads to the garage, and the door that leads to the sunroom. I am considering painting the two entry doors a charcoal color, and the pantry door some color, but I am still undecided on my choices.
I would love your opinions. What would you do if this was your kitchen? Would you paint your pantry door a fun color, or just go with charcoal for all three of the doors in this space? and if you would go with a color, what color would you choose? I think I have the charcoal color and the wall color figured out, but I am still trying to choose a pantry door color. I would love it so much if you would leave me some suggestions in the comments. What are your thoughts?
Please come back and join me next week for week 4 of this kitchen renovation. Next week I will share our new counters and our farmhouse sink, and also our new lights over the island. You will really start seeing the room come together in next weeks post, so you don't want to miss it!

Headlines around hacking and data breaches have become a regular occurrence over the last few years. When a business loses the trust of its customers, that confidence can be nearly impossible to win back. Cyber security, or the lack thereof, can famously destroy existing companies, but could it also be killing future business deals?
The obvious example is Verizon's potential acquisition of the deeply troubled Yahoo. Despite the flaws within the former tech behemoth, the deal seemed to be progressing forward nicely… until it was revealed that one billion Yahoo user accounts were compromised in 2013.
A key lesson learned from this untimely announcement: Buyers of any organization need to ensure that there is adequate cyber security in place before entering into an M&A discussion.
Understanding the costs of implementing adequate cyber security is crucial, as these costs far outweigh the risks associated with closing a transaction for which unknown vulnerabilities lie within the target's network. Yahoo's 2013 breach cost them $250 million of lost value. Verizon is lucky that news of the breach surfaced before they signed on the dotted line. Had it not, they would have realized a hard loss on their investment.
If buyers don't take this very real threat seriously, there is a very large can of proverbial worms waiting to be opened over the next few years. Imagine a scenario in which company data is breached shortly after a successful merger, but the vulnerability existed prior to closing the deal. Who would be deemed responsible?
While traditional financial and operational due diligence remains important to the mergers and acquisition process, why don't we see cyber security—the #3 risk facing CFOs in 2017—as a key aspect of the due diligence process? The protection of future organizational value should not be an afterthought, but treated with the respect it deserves. Risks to future value simply must be intensely evaluated.
So, what should you do? Here are my top pieces of advice for those entering an M&A deal:
- Leverage the use of independent third-parties throughout the negotiation process to avoid "cyber surprises" once the purchaser has the keys to the data center. Most due diligence review processes are in dire need of a digital makeover to reflect modern threats to business continuity. Ensure a cyber expert with the right expertise is on every due diligence team.
- Identify and prioritize risk as the first line of defense in determining where you are now and how to move forward. Prudent planning and addressing cyber security via risk-based due diligence is critical to protecting the long-term value of an acquisition.
- Define responsibility for a post-acquisition breach caused by pre-acquisition decisions. When an attack occurs after a M&A (and it will), many have discovered the hard way that indemnity provisions do not provide the assumed protection . After three years of headline news around cyber-attacks and the ripple effect on M&A transactions, there shouldn't be any surprises left on the table.
While ensuring due diligence around one of today's top business risks seems logical, I'm surprised to see that (far) more often than not, cyber resilience is left as an unknown in M&A transactions. In today's digital economy, this approach is destined cause new headlines about cyber induced decreases in valuations.

The belly is often a problem area for both men and women. Its an area which can make you feel uncomfortable for many reasons. Whether you have a bloated belly, muffin top over your favourite jeans or a beer belly; I have a tried and tested methods you can introduce into your lifestyle today which will beat that bulge in no time!
So to wave goodbye to wearing your 'fat' jeans or your roomy jumper follow my easy to follow guidlines.
Stop doing sit ups!
Ditch this exercises as they will not help you flatten your tummy. In order to reduce the fat around your abdomen you need to complete exercises which target general fat loss. Sit ups or crunches burn negligible calories and are only really show the fruits of your hard work if you ALREADY have low body fat percentage.
The exercises I recommend you do engage your core and get your heart pumping, this is the best way to torch fat. Doing a circuit of these with 30 seconds per exercise for 3-5 rounds can really spur on your fat loss.
There you have 10 exercises which aim to burn fat. Increasing your heart rate and getting your sweat on is the a great way to destress; as well as guarantee the digits on the scales to go down.
NB. Skipping can burn more calories than running! Why do you think boxers have it as an intergral part of their training program?
Ditch the Pop!
I'm talking fizzy drinks and other carbonated drinks not only do they have no nutritional value, if they can strip the dirt and grime off a penny – what are they doing to your insides? I mean, besides than giving you bloat! I'm not trying to scare you here, having the odd can of coke isn't going to kill you but like everything its in moderation. If you are having one of these per day or more I suggest you cut back. If I am out and am not wanting to drink alcohol I will have a coke, its a little more exciting that drinking water. Also lots of pubs dont have bottled water and I only drink filtered water (Posh i know!!)
Switch your Salt
From working in a restaurant a big pet peeve of mine is people putting salt on their food without tasting it. Meals are seasoned by chefs and most every day cooks and it does not require any more salt, however it is a routine that people do and just shove it on regardless. Table salt is sodium chloride which is an unnatural chemical that the body recognises as 'foreign', we have to use alot of energy to metabolise it furthermore it dehydrates you and causes excessive bloating. Remember how you feel after a chinese takeaway? Buddha belly and waking in the night with dry mouth due to excess salt is what happens to me!
Switching your table salt for Himalayan Pink Salt which actually promotes healthy balance and contains over 80 minerals and trace elements which are easily digested by our bodies.
Another way to avoid excess salt is to flavour your food with pepper or salsa which can give it an extra kick and doesn't elevate your blood pressure.
Drink water like it's your job
Many people are searching for the next quick fix like a magic pill/drink to elevate their weight loss. However it has already been discovered and you have access to it every day! Water is absolutely necessary for your body to function optimally. Not getting enough water contribute to weight gain and bloat, so why don't we drink enough of it? I hear people say "I don't really like water" ok but then when a <insert disgusting FAD drink name here> comes on the market which is full of sugar and all other synthetic things which cause havoc to the body they are more than happy to drink it. If you dont like water because it's too plain, add some fruit too it or have it hot with lemon or a herbal tea.
Aim to drink atleast 6-8 glasses per day – this is an average day, so if it's hot or you are working out this needs to be increased accordingly. If you feel thirsty and your mouth is dry your body is already dehydrated, drink regularly throughout the day and don't allow your body to get dehydrated otherwise it stops it being a fat burning furnace!
Avoid Fatty and Processed Foods
How do you feel after you have had a greasy fry up, fish and chips or a plate of beige food? Be honest, because I can guarantee it's not full of energy! You will feel bloated and uncomfortable, the lack of nutrients, excess salt and probably huge portion size does not coincide with a slim wasitline.
Banish the Podge
Eating to the point of bursting seems to be the norm. We eat until we physically cannot eat anymore and feel like we are about to pop. What happened to eating until you were full or satisfied instead of ready to burst! This can stem from many reasons, as children we were urged to finish our plates which makes us feel guilty and leaving food is wasteful. Portion size is intergral to your weight loss and eating enough to feed a small family will not help you in your goal. If eating at home use the smaller plates and once you are finished and want seconds, leave it 5 minutes and see whether you are ACTUALLY hungry or just being a little greedy!
Apple sauce trick
No I don't mean eating apple sauce is a super food which aids fat loss! Chewing your food until it is the consistency of apple sauce is meant to be the optimal consistency for your body to digest your meal efficiently. Also not scoffing your dinner down like you are having race beats bloat as you don't get excess air. So take your time and enjoy your food, eating is very sociable and it's a great time to sit with the family and catch up. We eat atleast one meal a day together as a family and its lovely, remember not to talk with your mouth full – no one wants to see that!
Eat a balanced meal at EVERY meal
It is a well known term that 'Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!' and I definately agree that it's an important meal. One of the first things I work on with my clients is getting a decent breakfast which doesnt involve cereal or toast EVERYDAY! I just believe that every meal should be deemed important and thought through not just breakfast.
I focus every meal around my chosen protein and build around it. So if I choose chicken as my protein source I now choose an essential fat and carbohydrate source. Might seem a little boring but it means every meal has everything it needs so I could choose some new potatoes with green beans and drizzle with home made pesto.
Most people struggle with healthy fats – organic nut butter, avacado, olives, oily fish, coconut oil are my everyday items.
Be picky with your carbs
When the low fat diet was suggested by government guidlines we obedienty reduced with the premise of boosting health. Since then this has been debunked and it seems the new scapegoat is carbs!
So many people choose to drop carbs when they want to lose weight which is fine, but dont for one minute think its due to cutting out carbs. Its due to a CALORIE DEFICIT which ensures your waist slims down.
Long term fat loss is the best way to ensure you keep your weight down. A great way of doing this is to be more selective with your carbs choices as many people mainly eat REFINED carbs which have been made and pumped full or sugars and/or salts. So don't ditch the carbs just choose nutritionally dense ones which contain essential nutrients and release their energy slowly to keep you fuller for longer.
A few ideas for you – wholegrain rices and pastas, root and starchy vegetables, fruits, oats and leafy greens and salads.
Get your daily dose of bacteria!
For good gut health and to ensure optimal digestive health you need to make sure you are getting your daily dose of probiotics. Most people think of live yogurt and we are eating more and more of it. Be careful when chosing your greek yougurt – you want to avoid greek 'style' as this is full of sugar and sweetners. Other foods which boost gut health are leeks, sauerkraut and pickles. If you do not get enough of this through your diet there are several probiotic drinks on the market just make sure you check the sugar content.
So these are my tried and tested methods which will reduce your belly bulge! The good thing as well as you can introduce these changes to your lifestyle right now and feel the benefits straightaway.
Let me know how you feel after a week of trying these lifestyle changes as this is what spurs me on to write these blogs.

Eggleston, Katharine
Entry updated 12 September 2022. Tagged: Author.
(1874-? ) US author who according to early records was born Katie M Junkermann (forename also given as Katherine or Katharine, surname sometimes as Junkerman or Jenkerman); married to fringe-science writer Fenwicke L Holmes in 1919. Her Lost World novel is Red O'Rourke's Riches (2 March-20 April 1912 The Cavalier Weekly as by Katherine Eggleston and F H Richardson; 1937), in which an Egyptian colony is discovered in the mountains of Arizona. There are imprecise references to the prolific Eggleston as a writer for the early cinema; this association is strengthened by the fact that her listed collaborator for the magazine version of this story was Frank Herbert Richardson (1867-1943), active as the author of books on motion picture projection from before World War One, and a contributor to Cavalier in his own right.

Verve Ed, Canberra, Australia based company is a software as a service company which is created by E-Learning specialists. The company brings a fresh approach to helping instructors use the Moodle learning management system. They provides a cloud-based, experiential Moodle training environment for teachers.
Acc. to the founder of Verve Ed, Robbie Coombs:
"E-learning is a booming industry, but I don't think many organisations can honestly answer the question, 'how effective are my teachers in using our LMS technology to achieve improved educational outcomes?
Moodle is widely used to design online courses because it has a great degree of functionality, but that same breadth of functionality can also create confusion and user anxiety about how to use the platform well."
VerveEd offers a series of self-paced online modules based on real-life teaching scenarios. Users can complete all modules to achieve accreditation, but also revisit any module over and over again to refresh their knowledge.
For more information about the Verve Ed training program, visit their official website here.

design work
I started working with AllergyHero from the beginning of march of 2014. Through nearly 10 iterations and modifications, finally we got a very simple looking app that ultimately allows the user to quickly get aid in case of very severe allergic reaction. Allergy Hero contacts epinephrine injections carriers that are willing to help these people in case of a life threatening emergency.
For this work I designed icons, layouts, interactions maps, brochures, websites mockups and other graphics that were needed for the marketing and expansion of the company. Also I gained a lot of experience of current design trends and design methods, along with very good friends.

Chakk existed between 1981 and 1987. Their first single, Out Of The Flesh, was recorded with Richard H. Kirk at Cabaret Voltaires Western Works studio and mixed and engineered by Alan Cross, a member of the band who had studio training. Chakks original sound was centred around Cross four track tape machine, some home built echo and effects boxes and a small mixing desk. They had always believed that the most important instrument a band could use was the studio itself. The first album by Sheffield electro funk group Chakk was originally released as a cassette by the band themselves in 1982. Personnel for this album: Mark Tattersall (also in Element/Transelement, drummer for Cabaret Voltaire on various recordings), Mark Brydon (also in Moloko, Hula), Sim Lister (also in Heights of Abraham), Alan Cross (DJ Alan X). This early recording, unheard by most people until today, presents a much jazzier and funkier Chakk than later Fon releases. It could be compared to early Clock DVA. Theres also a lot of Cabaret Voltaire here, some Hula, also some Industrial music. The album is one wild ride of styles and sounds. Its a fantastic document of its time, and at the same time a timeless and brilliant piece of music. Carefully remastered for this first digital release. - Klanggalerie.

Section 1221(a) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, codified at 16 U.S.C. 824p(a), directs the Secretary of Energy to conduct an electric transmission congestion study every three years, and to prepare it in consultation with affected states and regional reliability organizations. In the study, the Department seeks to provide information about transmission congestion by focusing on specific indications of transmission constraints and congestion and their consequences. The study focuses on a specific time frame – e.g., historical trends over the past few years, and looking forward three to five years. The study is based entirely on publicly-available data and transmission-related documents.
2020 Congestion Study
The 2020 National Electric Transmission Congestion Study was released in September 2020 and is available on the Office of Electricity website: /node/4586274
A September 24 Federal Register notice announced the availability of the study for public comment. The comment period lasted 60 days and closed on Monday, November 23, 2020. After considering the comments, the Office of Electricity will prepare and publish a report summarizing and responding to the comments and indicating whether DOE intends to designate any specific geographic areas as National Electric Transmission Corridors.
In preparation for the congestion study, DOE published a Notice of "Procedures for Conducting Electric Transmission Congestion Studies" in the Federal Register in August 2018 and requested written comments by October 9, 2018. DOE subsequently extended the comment period by fifteen days to October 24, 2018. Public comments received by DOE in response to the Federal Register Notice are posted HERE.
Information about previous congestion studies is available HERE.
Annual U.S. Transmission Data Review
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has broad responsibility for developing and supporting the implementation of energy policies that serve the public interest. Ensuring that timely and accurate data on key subjects is widely available to the public is one of those responsibilities. With that responsibility in mind, the Office of Electricity releases an Annual U.S. Transmission Data Review, its compilation of transmission-related data focusing on six areas: transmission infrastructure, transmission reliability, transmission utilization, transmission constraints, transmission planning, and economic congestion. This data, which is gathered from publicly-available sources, is used to inform various DOE analyses, including OE's triennial transmission congestion studies. The report does not draw conclusions about the transmission system—it is, instead, an effort to gather publicly available data in one place and to present it in a unified framework as comparably as possible.
The 2018 Annual U.S. Transmission Data Review is available HERE.

Thursday, April 9, 2009
The Obama administration's announcement that it is to consider radical planetary "geo-engineering", such as "shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun's rays", exactly mirrors recent publications penned by the elite Council On Foreign Relations.
Yesterday the Associated Press reported that the Obama administration has held discussions regarding the possibility of "geo-engineering" the earth's climate to counter global warming.
The AP report states that Obama's science advisor John Holdren is pushing for radical terra forming programs to be explored such as creating an "artificial volcano". Despite Holdren's admission that such measures could have "grave side effects," he added that, "we might get desperate enough to want to use it."
Such ideas exactly mirror those put forth by the CFR in previous years.
In briefing notes (PDF) published in May 2008 from the CFR's Geoengineering: Workshop on Unilateral Planetary Scale Geoengineering, the elite internationalist group lays out the exact same radical ideas now being touted by the Obama administration.
The following excerpts are taken from the document:
Geoengineering Strategies
Among all geoengineering schemes, those currently considered most feasible involve increasing the planetary albedo, that is, reflecting more sunlight back into space before it can be absorbed. There are a number of different methods that could be used to increase the planet's reflectivity:
1. Add more small reflecting particles in the upper part of the atmosphere (the stratosphere which is located between 15 and 50 kilometers above the Earth's surface).
2. Add more clouds in the lower part of the atmosphere (the troposphere)
3. Place various kinds of reflecting objects in space either near the earth or at a stable location between the earth and the sun.
4. Change large portions of the planet's land cover from things that are dark (absorbing) such as trees to things that are light (reflecting) such as open snowcover or grasses.
Stratospheric Aerosols that might be engineered to migrate to particular regions (e.g. over the arctic) or to rise above the stratospher (so as not to interfere in stratospheric chemistry).
Adding more of the right kind of fine particles to the stratosphere can increase the amount of sunlight that is reflected back into space.
Applied to geoengineering, various technologies could be used to loft particles into the stratosphere, such as naval guns, rockets, hot air balloons or blimps, or a fleet of highflying aircraft. Potential types of particles for injection include sulfur dioxide, aluminum oxide dust or even designer self-levitating aerosols.
The CFR's geo-engineering research program is directed by David G. Victor a Professor at Stanford Law School and an Adjunct Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. Also involved are M. Granger Morgan, head of Carnegie Mellon University's Department of Engineering, Jay Apt, Professor of Engineering and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University, and John Steinbruner, Professor of Public Policy and Director of the Center for International and Security Studies at the University of Maryland.
In an article entitled The Geoengineering Option: A Last Resort Against Global Warming? published in this month's Foreign Affairs, the CFR's monthly magazine, the directors once again lay out their ideas for planetary terraforming, calling for a worldwide 60-80 percent cut in carbon emissions.
Obama's push toward a so called "cap and trade" carbon taxation program is also a direct descendant of Victor et al's CFR policy formation.
A CFR geo-engineering meeting summary document from 1999 (PDF pages 12,13,14) also categorically states that the ultimate goal under "A technology strategy for global warming" is the implementation of a global Carbon Tax.
The memo also pedantically explains how the perceived fear of global warming can be used to sell to Americans what is essentially a tax on air:
"While taxing tea pales in comparison to taxing air as a perceived government affront, the clear benefits of a taxation policy to combat global warming might convince even the descendents of our tax-resistant Founding Fathers."
The tentative announcement by the Obama administration of the existence of geoengineering research programs is a first step toward introducing the idea to the wider public.
However, as we highlighted in our master article yesterday, geo-engineering is undoubtedly already being conducted by government-affiliated universities, government agencies, and on a mass scale through chemtrail spraying.
Such programs merely scratch the surface of what is likely to be a gargantuan and overarching black-budget funded project to terraform the planet, with little or no care for the unknown environmental consequences this could engender.
Further Research: Here is an extremely valuable file folder containing 8 PDFs, all published by the CFR, and all concerning their Geo-Engineering Program.

This Is How To Survive A Treadmill Long Run
Try this workout and your long run will fly by. Seriously!
Get access to everything we publish when you sign up for Outside+.
A long run on a treadmill can feel like a never-ending slog, but it doesn't have to. Switching up your speed will provide an added challenge while keeping attention focused on nearby time horizons, making the time pass more quickly.
Variable Long Run
Challenge Level: Moderate
- First choose a duration that's normal for you. It can be anywhere from 40 minutes to 2 hours, depending on your fitness level and training schedule.
- Start with a 5- to 10-minute warm-up at a perceived effort level of 3 on a 1–10 scale.
- Next, either increase or decrease your speed by 0.1 to 0.2 mph or increase or decrease the incline of the treadmill belt (note only certain models can be set at negative gradients) by 1 or 2 percent.
- After 2 minutes, make a different change from among these same four options.
- Continue to make small shifts to the speed or slope every 2 minutes for the remainder of the session. Just be sure to avoid making a sequence of changes (such as five consecutive increases in speed or incline) that lift your perceived effort level above 4 or drop it below 3.

Lipglosses, lipsticks, lipstains… While I sometimes do wear these products, most times I'd rather do without. Many reasons for this: I don't like how they feel on my lips, or I usually forget to reapply. The only lip product I'm faithful to is a lip balm to moisturize my puckers – I absolutely can't stand chapped lips!
I was uber excited to try the NYX Tinted Lip Spa Pinky Winky. I'm all for a lip product that moisturizes while adding a little bit of color! I chose Pinky Winky because it looks like a fun sheer pink that will add some blushing highlights to my lips. Does it live up to my expectations?

NYX Pinky Winky Tinted Lip Spa Review
My first impression of NYX Pinky Winky Tinted Lip Spa was actually a pleasant surprise. While I like NYX products, I usually dislike the packaging because it feels and looks cheap. But I didn't feel that way about NYX Tinted Lip Balm! Sure, it could've been better made, but the black tubing actually looks decent.
Plus, there's a clear viewing hole at the top of the cap. A great idea for seeing which color the lip balm is. The size of the NYX Tinted Lip Balm Pinky Winky is slightly bigger than a normal-sized drugstore brand's, so what I paid was a pretty good price.
Second impression of the NYX Pinky Winky Tinted Lip Balm wasn't as nice though. I've used it for a while now, and I still can't get over the smell. You don't really notice it after a bit, but every time you apply it, you'll get a whiff of it. It smells like fresh plastic. Or stale mints… but without the minty flavor. It's hard to describe. Let's just say it's not all that pleasant.
As for the color of NYX Pinky Winky Lip Balm…. Well, it's sheer as expected, and it doesn't provide as much color as I had hope. But I think it's just the shade that I chose. Even on the site, Pinky Winky doesn't look to be a strong hue. I don't mind how sheer this is; it's great for days when I just want moisture without a whole lotta color.
Does it provide moisture? Yup! NYX Pinky Winky Lip Balm actually makes my lips feel quite nice. If my puckers are irritated, applying the NYX Lip Spa also helps to calm it down a little. The consistency isn't too thick nor is it too slippery. It feels natural on the lips while moisturizing them. You get a very slight cooling effect on the lips, although it's not very noticeable.
But if your puckers are seriously chapped, don't expect the Tinted Lip Spa to heal them. You'll need something stronger for that, like Chapstick. However, it's good if you intend on applying the Lip Spa all the time to keep your lips soft all day.
And you will have to apply it a lot because the NYX Lip Spa Pinky Winky doesn't stay on very long. I give it about 1.5 hours at most before all the product disappears, and this is if I don't eat anything.
Final Verdict: 7.6/10
While there is room for improvements, I think the NYX Pinky Winky Tinted Lip Spa is a fun product. I'm going to try the other color that I got, NYX Tinted Lip Spa Champagne Bubble. If it has decent color payoff, I'll be getting a few more of these!
What do you think? Would you rather just wear a lipgloss, lipstick or lipstain? Share your makeup routine!

Okay, I know that finding peace in the Middle East eludes the best minds and most generous wills. Yes, it is all beyond complex. I get it. That said, I cannot imagine any scenerio in which we will find Middle East peace as long as Israeli settlements continue to be established.
Powerless Palestinians are being humiliated day after day as they watch fresh new settlements being established. Speaking of humiliation, think about the young laborer in the accompanying photo which runs with a CNS story on our website. Needing to support his family, he takes what work he can. The work he takes further assures his own humiliation and oppression.

This tip applies to Word 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016
Word includes a nifty feature that allows you to print multiple pages on a single sheet of paper. For instance, you can take two pages of your document and print them on a single side of a piece of paper. Word allows you to print 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, or 16 actual pages per printed page. This can save quite a bit of paper, but it can make reading the output more difficult.
To control this setting, follow these steps:

Betty Mayhall
I tried your instructions and it only printed one reduced size document on the page, not the four that I wanted. Ok, I added 1,1,1,1 to pages and it worked.
2016-10-21 23:39:33
Thank you Rob and Marcia. You are right. Also Christine your shortcut worked! I tried it with 4 on a page. Yay!! Thanks!
2016-09-24 15:23:25
If you want to print one page 4 times on the sheet, in the box labeled "Pages" type: 1,1,1,1. It will print the one page 4 times. Easy!
2016-09-23 08:58:11
You definitely have to have 4 pages in your original document to produce 4 printed copies when telling a document to print "4 pages per sheet".
So, copy the document and paste it onto page 2, 3, and 4 in your document. Now you have a four page document where each page is exactly the same.
Now, when you tell it to print 4 pages per sheet, it will give you the results you want.
2016-09-13 05:23:48
I am trying to print 1 page x 4 times on 1 A4 sheet of paper. I have clicked multiple pages per sheet; layout showing 4 pages on the sheet and asking whether I require portrait or landscape. All looking good and then just one small page being printed. Tearing my hair out!
Oh and I am using Microsoft Office 2010.
2016-04-18 15:35:34
I believe the multiple pages per sheet feature is meant to print a multi-page document on a single sheet. You could try copying your single page onto successive pages (e.g., four pages, each with the same text) and then following the steps above. What I found more helpful was creating a text box with my text, and then copying it three additional times and placing the four text boxes in four separate quadrants.
2016-04-17 21:11:15
Same problem as Beth and Tim. Only printing to one portion if the page, not all four or two.
2016-03-31 14:57:24
Tim Haze
I have the same issue as Beth in the comments. I have a single page document that I would like to have printed as 4 per page. The document scales properly, but I only have 1 print on 1/4 of the page in the upper left quadrant of the page and 3 blank quadrants. I'm using Word 2013.
2016-03-29 14:05:30
David Willis
This only prints the entire document on one quarter of the actual page and it is impossible to read.
I need to have speech notes in a handy format, A6 with 11pt text.
How can I make the text flow automatically to the other three virtual pages?
(This is so simple to do in WordPerfect, but I am trying to migrate to Word)
2015-12-21 07:21:40
Word 2016
It isn't working.
I made the page size A6, in print options I selected 4 pages per sheet. It only printed one page on the 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper.
Even if I make the page size 8 1/2 x 11 and select 4 pages per sheet it stills doesn't print correctly.
Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Nadjma Yassari How Is the Principle of the Best Interests of the Child Applied in Islamic Family Law?

Max Planck Society
"The Max Planck Society is Germany's most successful research organization. Since its establishment in 1948, no fewer than 18 Nobel laureates have emerged from the ranks of its scientists, putting it on a par with the best and most prestigious research institutions worldwide. The more than 15,000 publications each year in internationally renowned scientific journals are proof of the outstanding research work conducted at Max Planck Institutes – and many of those articles are among the most-cited publications in the relevant field." (Source)
Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law
The Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law in Hamburg is dedicated to performing foundational research and promoting the transfer of knowledge in the fields of comparative and international private law and business law. By analysing similarities and differences in the legal regimes of Europe as well as other parts of the world, the Institute studies the interaction of private rule-making, national legal systems, supranational law and interstate treaties. The research performed at the Institute also serves to lay the groundwork for an international understanding of law and to help develop rules and legal instruments with which the application of national law can be better coordinated in cross-border matters. This is an academic mission of considerable significance particularly within a united Europe and against the background of increasing globalisation and a corresponding internationalisation of law.

How do lawgivers define what makes a good parent? NADJMA YASSARI is interested in the impact of the principle of the best interests of the child on custody decisions in the Middle East and countries with common heritage from Islamic family law. As she explains in this video, her research team adopted a comparative inner-Islamic approach. They did not only examine the legal aspects of the question but they also put each country's laws and rules in a social, historical and cultural context. They discovered that while there was a historical continuity on the use and the application of the principle of best interests in custody rules in pre-modern Islamic law, the legislatures of modern Muslim Nation states introduced and applied that principle to varying degrees in statutory laws and court practice. Their findings enhance the understanding of Islamic concepts of family and custody and might, for instance, help the integration processes of immigrants from Muslim countries to Europe.

Robyn wig
Great rich color and full long look.
My daughter loves her new black Robyn wig. She is a petite U14 champion dancer (4'9"). The wig is not too big for her frame. It could be trimmed a bit to make is shorter, but we are going to leave it as is. Its a very nice curl, not tight, but still with enough spring. I would highly recommend this wig. It looks beautiful on my daughter.

On Saturday we went to Dandenong Market with Andy, Johanne and the kids.
The indoor fruit & veg market is fantastic, with dozens of traders desperately trying to catch your attention by shouting out their special offers. The prices are much, much cheaper than supermarkets, particularly towards the end of the day when they're all trying to get rid of their stock. The kids came home with whole watermelon for just $1 (£0.40). Sara and I are definitely going to come back again during the week when we do our "big shop" and we'll check out the other sections of the market too. 🙂
The other reason for going to Dandenong was to buy meat and seafood for a barbecue at Johanne's mum and dad's house on Sunday afternoon. Andy & Johanne took us to a big wholesale butcher — which was a bit much for Sara, as a recent-vegetarian :-& — where they bought several kilos of beef, lamb and fish. We then went in the Chinese and Indian cash-and-carries to buy herbs and spices which, again, are a fraction of the price that they are in supermarkets. $-)
On Saturday night we had our first Fish & Chips from our local chippy at Alchester Village. They sell a selection of different fish — which we'll have to work our way through to find out what we like — but, unlike English chippies, there was no cod, plaice or haddock in sight. We opted for the most popular variety, "flake", which is actually gummy shark. Very nice it was too. 😉
The other thing we found was that you have to order "minimum chips" (i.e. the smallest amount they can be bothered to cook for you). Naturally we expected this to be a tiny portion, so we ordered two lots and ended up with a mountain of chips. :@)

Interlocking cubes are a versatile resource in the mathematics classroom. They can support concept development, working mathematically and help children form mental images of numbers. There are two articles to read, the first of which offers use of guidance on manipulatives generally and the second explains why we have selected these particular tasks.
Manipulatives in the Primary Classroom
Age 5 to 11
In this article for teachers, Jenni Back offers research-based guidance about the use of manipulatives in the classroom.
Take Some ... Cubes
Age 5 to 11
In this article we outline how cubes can support children in working mathematically and draw attention to tasks which exemplify this.
Chairs and Tables
Age 5 to 7
Challenge Level
Make a chair and table out of interlocking cubes, making sure that the chair fits under the table!
Even and Odd
Age 5 to 7
Challenge Level
This activity is best done with a whole class or in a large group. Can you match the cards? What happens when you add pairs of the numbers together?
3 Blocks Towers
Age 5 to 7
Challenge Level
Take three differently coloured blocks - maybe red, yellow and blue. Make a tower using one of each colour. How many different towers can you make?
Numbers as Shapes
Age 5 to 7
Challenge Level
Use cubes to continue making the numbers from 7 to 20. Are they sticks, rectangles or squares?
Making Sticks
Age 5 to 7
Challenge Level
Kimie and Sebastian were making sticks from interlocking cubes and lining them up. Can they make their lines the same length? Can they make any other lines?
Building with Cubes
Age 5 to 7
Challenge Level
Try to picture these buildings of cubes in your head. Can you make them to check whether you had imagined them correctly?
Up and Down Staircases
Age 7 to 11
Challenge Level
One block is needed to make an up-and-down staircase, with one step up and one step down. How many blocks would be needed to build an up-and-down staircase with 5 steps up and 5 steps down?
Cubes Here and There
Age 7 to 11
Challenge Level
How many shapes can you build from three red and two green cubes? Can you use what you've found out to predict the number for four red and two green?
Brush Loads
Age 7 to 11
Challenge Level
How can you arrange the 5 cubes so that you need the smallest number of Brush Loads of paint to cover them? Try with other numbers of cubes as well.
Picture a Pyramid ...
Age 7 to 11
Challenge Level
Imagine a pyramid which is built in square layers of small cubes. If we number the cubes from the top, starting with 1, can you picture which cubes are directly below this first cube?

Action Comics #977
DC Comics
Written by: Dan Jurgens
Art by: Ian Churchill
After the events of the Superman: Reborn story arc, all seems to be well for the Kent family. Both Lois and Clark have taken their old jobs at the Daily Planet, and speak of plans of moving into the city. But while everything seems good on the outside, Superman still feels like something is missing due to the aftermath of Myxzptlk's meddling.
To begin finding the answers he's looking for, he heads to the Fortress of Solitude to learn about his past from Kelex. Kelex inserts Superman into the "archived imagery" so that he can directly experience all of the major events in his life: starting with his exodus from the doomed Krypton. As Superman is taken on this journey into his past, there is a mysterious force working behind the scenes that is beginning to assemble Superman's greatest enemies together to destroy him.
The premise of Superman being able to experience his past again, especially the parts he couldn't remember such as Krytpon, is very intriguing. He is able to experience the joy of seeing his parents again, but also the despair of seeing his entire home planet be destroyed. It's a powerful path for Superman to take to rediscover his origin, and to solve the unanswered questions left from Superman: Reborn. Additionally, there's a lot of anticipation being built after seeing Superman's enemies like Metallo and Blanque be enticed to join with the mysterious figure.
I'm sure it's been said before a million times, but Jurgens really knows how to write Superman and Clark Kent. Clark is back to using the guise of the awkward simpleton, but it doesn't feel too cheesy like it easily can, it feels normal and fun. On the flipped side, Superman's altruism is highlighted as he mourns for the millions of Kryptonians he couldn't save. Ian Churchill art is good, but there seems to be some emotion missing from the panels about Krypton's destruction. The strongest art in this issue is in the detail of the villainous holographic projection.
The stage is being set for some new revelations about the events of Superman: Reborn, and for a colossal battle between Supes and his greatest foes.
Action Comics #977 puts "The New World" story arc off to a great start as Dan Jurgens seems to be winding up to deliver another powerful story about the Man of Steel.

Make it happen Nanu, the world's first personalised pillow brand, challenged Brazen to amplify its Valentine's Day promotional offer with a campaign to position nanu (and the gift of a good night's sleep) as the dream present for Valentine's Day, with a clear goal – drive brand awareness and sales.
What we did To bring to life the personalisation element and captilise on the trend for personalised products, Brazen devised a strategic influencer programme to create engaging content around the brand.
Authenticity is key in delivering successful influencer campaigns, so using Brazen's Ranking Index, we targeted three mega influencers who would each appreciate a good night's sleep for different reasons – whether first time mums, parents of multiple children or health and fitness enthusiasts.
The chosen celebrities – Sam Faiers, Louise Thompson and Cara Delahoyde – all appealed to our 18-35 year old audience and had strong Instagram followings, making it the perfect platform for the partnerships.
Each of the influencers would order themselves and their partners a personalised pillow, giving them the gift of sleep for Valentine's Day.
Through a blend of stories and in feed posts, our influencer partners were invited to try out the nanu pillow creation process end to end and document their journey from online order and personalisation through to the morning after their first sleep with a nanu.
Snackable video content, chopped into frames for Insta stories, captured them inputting 'vital stats' such as weight and height on nanu's website. Then once the pillow arrived, the influencers gave feedback from their beds after a good night's sleep.
The strategically planned Instagram campaign saw content land every day in the weeks leading up to 14 February allowing us to flood the network for maximum exposure.
The content was also edited and shared across the nanu social channels to maximise reach and engagement.
Measurement of success was key with 'swipe up to shop' and promo codes implemented to track web traffic and sales.
Most successful single piece of activity across all channels during campaign period 1.6m reach via 9 social posts
25K+ visits to website
6K direct swipe up clicks
Over 750 orders

There's plenty to be excited about, along with a few key additions that replace dearly departed features in the last-generation models, so let's step through the changes.
Samsung's Galaxy S7 is set to debut in a matter of weeks and leaks about the platform are already piling up. The one thing no one can answer is whether or not it'll reverse Samsung's high-end sales decline.
A new report indicates Samsung and Qualcomm may have teamed up to launch the Snapdragon 820 as a Samsung Galaxy S7 exclusive. It makes a lot of sense for both companies — but will doing so help either?
Both phones look amazing and sport Exynos 7420 octa-core processors (2.1GHz quad and 1.5GHz quad) and 4GB of RAM — but is that enough?
Samsung will cut prices on the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge in an attempt to boost demand, even as its operating profit and revenue from phone sales continues to decline.
Samsung's Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge have been well-received, but multiple users are reporting unusual RAM usage. The devices aggressively kill applications — even with enough RAM to avoid doing so.
Samsung unveiled its Galaxy S6 Edge and S6 today, with a number of new features as well as a few fan favorites going by the way side. Will consumers buy the device more than they opted for the lackluster S5?

weeney Todd and Tim Burton: you don't find spirits more kindred than that. Indeed, it's hard to imagine "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" in the hands of another director. Would anyone else have seen how much humor is embedded in Steven Sondheim's song book? Would anyone else have been willing to portray the lead character in such an unflattering light? Lastly, would anyone have the nerve to make a musical with almost no color? In the end, the answers to those questions are meaningless. The only question worth asking is: what on earth took Burton so long to give us this delightfully bloody movie?
Johnny Depp stars as the title character (real name: Benjamin Barker), a barber who was wrongly imprisoned by the pious Judge Turpin (Alan Rickman) because Turpin fancied Todd's wife. When Todd returns from prison 15 years later and hears of what has become of his wife and daughter, he swears revenge on Turpin. Todd receives unlikely assistance in the form of Mrs. Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter), the baker who took over his barber shop. Her meat pies are the worst in London due to her low-quality meat (ahem, cat), and so the two strike a deal: he satisfies his bloodlust by killing the occasional customer, and she will turn the corpses into meat pies. Her shop becomes a smash hit, but with success, and of course murder, comes trouble.
To go with the dark subject matter, Burton has created a turn-of-the-century London so dark and grimy that one feels compelled to shower just for looking at it. The sun shines during one, count it, one scene in the entire movie, and it is used to hilariously ironic effect. As Burton movies go, this is as none-more-black as it gets, and it suits the material perfectly.
Burton might be a homer for casting Depp and Carter as the leads, but he's no fool: they're two of the finest actors of their generation, and surprise! They can sing, too. Carter positively runs away with the role of Mrs. Lovett – her timing during the song "A Little Priest" is impeccable – while Depp's Sweeney Todd is an unapologetic beast yet strangely likable, something that takes a special kind of charisma to pull off. Sacha Baron Cohen has a nice turn as the huckster barber Aldofo Pirelli, but Rickman does not get the chance to sink his teeth into Judge Turpin the way "Die Hard" or "Harry Potter" fans would hope.
You better bring your 'A' game if you're going to make a musical about a homicidal barber and his corpse-grinding accomplice, and in "Sweeney Todd," Burton has not just brought his 'A' game but made one of the best movies of his career. With the exception of "Big Fish," Burton had actually been in quite an artistic funk lately (take "Planet of the Apes," please). The funk ends here, in magnificent fashion.
Single-Disc Blu-Ray Review:
No audio commentaries or deleted scenes to be found, but the Blu-ray release of "Sweeney Todd" is stuffed to the gills with featurettes. The two best are "Burton + Depp + Carter = Todd," where the producer and director admit that they had spent millions making the movie before they knew whether Depp could sing, and "Sweeney Todd Is Alive: The Real History of the Demon Barber," which explores the origins of the character. Other featurettes cover the conversion of Steven Sondheim's music from stage to screen ("Musical Mayhem"), the set design ("Designs for a Demon Barber"), and the special effects that went into the death scenes ("Bloody Buisness"). Some of the featurettes use the same quotes and footage, but if you're a fan of the movie, you will certainly get your money's worth.

I didn't mean to shop…really. I was running errands: mailing letters, dropping off boots at the cobbler to be re-heeled (see? very thrifty!).
But that fashion retailer–it was standing in my way, with all it's big "50% off!" signs screaming at me. So I went inside. And surprise, I fell promptly in love. Fortunately, the item I wanted most was not available in my size…oh, the salvation! So perhaps I got off easy, this time.
It was this plaid wool cape jacket, at right. Really, I have a perfectly serviceable winter coat and I don't need another jacket, even though none of mine swish and swirl at the elbows just like this one does. It's very, very "Peggy" from Mad Men. [Fourth season, of course, I should note: when Peggy is at her self-actualized, saucy best.] At any rate, the more I looked, the more I realized that "Yes, I could make this, and perhaps I could make it better!" Well, not objectively better, perhaps…the workmanship was fine enough. But perhaps, one I make might be a better garment, for me. And in truth, this fabric, while fun (yellow and turquoise!) would be difficult to coordinate with other pieces from my closet. To wear it, I'd have to dress for the jacket. And even at 50% off the "already low sale prices", I could still buy a nice fabric for the same cost…it would take, perhaps, 3 yards, at most? Plus lining fabric and buttons…it would be worth a little more, perhaps, to have a cape jacket with a sash belt that also could be worn with most anything else I wear.
So I took photos in the dressing room, made notes of seams and lengths and designs, and now I will add a "Cape Jacket" to the ever-growing list of things I would like to make for myself, as part of this project.
I think the key to this one is that unlike many cape patterns I see, here the "cape" part is only the sleeves, which are built on a vest-like bodice, so the jacket fits close to the body at the centers, rather than wrapping you entirely in a shapeless cape form. It's a double-breasted vest, with both front and back broken by a vertical seam, into which the bat-wing semi-circular cape part is added. I can do that!
I am going to have to be careful, however, or my wish-list of sewing projects is going to quickly outgrow all of the time I have to devote to this hobby.
