I'm really missing my blogging time, and missing all of you, my blogging friends! I'm posting this at the library because I don't have internet at home yet, and anyway, I would have nothing to post because everything is still packed. No crafty time at all! But we made it in one piece and everything is slowly getting settled. I will try to visit all your blogs really soon! Many hugs, love Roxy. Oh, and I didn't realize the last post would be posted without a story, but thanks for all your lovely comments and your understanding!

Miss you too!!! Hopefully you will have internet soon (:ReplyDelete
We are having major blogger problems over this side of the world and many people are actually saying their posts have dissappeared and we have not no blogger at all for the last 3 days here so it is probably a good time to be off the scene, I am so lost without it, but that is just the addiction thing....MelxReplyDelete

Over the weekend I was fortunate enough to attend this year's World Maker Faire in New York City - the two-day event sponsored by MAKE magazine and O'Reilly Media on all things related to science, engineering, and the maker culture. The faire took me deep into the heart of Queens to the New York Hall of Science. If you're unsure about what exactly goes on at the Maker Faire, here's the quick pitch: The World Maker Faire is a giant science fair for nerds of all ages.
Apart from the myriad 3D printer start-up companies, the life-sized mouse trap (yes, I'm talking about a life-sized version of the classic board game), and the discussion panels, perhaps the most salient information I gathered came from marketing guru and entrepreneur Seth Godin.
As a disclaimer, I'll note that I'm a big fan of Seth Godin's blog and a few of his books like the popular Purple Cow. But his 30 minute speech, titled "The Art and Science of Making Things" holds some meritable insights on what actually qualifies as "making", which you can probably guess is a pertinent theme throughout the Maker Faire. His thesis is as follows:
If you are doing something that might not work, you are in the business of making things.
I'm not going to say that Seth's speech isn't another platitude on the importance of failure and the learning opportunities associated with taking on chance. After quickly examining the quote above, it's easy to see that Seth clearly values the presence of failure as a growth opportunity. But there are two points of distinction that differentiate his point of view apart from all the other truisms of failure.
The first is the relationship Seth holds with risk. According to Seth, when examining the process of making, the probability of risk trumps the actual experience of the failure that emerges from that risk. Making involves the potential for failure, but making is actually rarely or never defined by the failure itself. Being a maker necessitates a certain level of calling the shots, ultimately bringing into play the potential for failure.
This leads me to the second distinct message in Seth's presentation - that risk aversion is a byproduct of the industrial processes popularized in the early 20th century. If being a maker necessitates a certain level of calling the shots, Seth argues that our current systems in education, as well as our businesses, fail to place individuals in such positions.
Example #1: If you go to a 5th grade science class, you won't see any science going on in the classroom. Instead, Seth points out, what you'll see are students conducting the steps of a scientific process that someone else stumbled through to procure and solidify. Science isn't following steps 1-9 and neither is making.
Example #2: The industrial revolution functioned primarily on processes. According to Seth, the industrial process is about "making big things bigger, making fast things faster" and so on. But the result of creating a culture so dependent on processes, is the same kind of passive activity described in Seth's 5th grade science class example. How can you innovate, Seth asks, when everyone around you is so focused on making sure all the steps in a procedure are carried out correctly?
I don't imagine that Seth actually demands the takedown of industrial processes. In fact, there are many cases where such processes can result in real innovative solutions for world problems. The relationship between industrial process and the ability to scale up is a valuable force. My friend Justin Berk, an MD/MBA candidate at Texas Tech University, has written about these advantages in an article called "Using the Ideas Behind McDonald's to Deliver Essential Medicines to the Poor" as he discusses how the McDonald's franchise model can be leveraged for better public health solutions in developing countries. Another example of such model is the Aravind Eye Hospital where the well known Dr. V has provided thousands of cataract surgeries across India based on procedures not too dissimilar from the Model-T assembly line. At the Maker Faire, Seth failed to include such examples of industry efficiency in his analysis. But my guess is that he would probably uphold Aravind and Justin's article as hallmarks of innovation because ultimately, they fall in line with his overall main point: to be a really good maker involves a conscious self-positioning void of the rote memory processes that we have grown alongside for years and years.
Seth closed his speech at this year's New York City World Maker Faire on an introspective note by providing the attendees with the following question:
When was the last time you made something that didn't work out?
The answer to this question, it appears, serves as a benchmark between passive work and the art and science of making.

Renewed squeeze on the kiwi
4:00AM Tuesday Mar 03, 2009
By Owen Hembry
Downward pressure on the New Zealand dollar will remain strong for the foreseeable future, currency traders said yesterday as the kiwi touched fresh six-and-a-half-year lows below US50c.
The kiwi traded as low as US49.12 - its lowest level since November 2002 - as stock markets fell and traders headed for the relatively safety of the greenback and euro.
The New Zealand dollar peaked at US81c last March and has fallen steadily since. Already this year it has dropped nearly 30 per cent since January.
"The outlook is pretty bleak," said Sydney-based Deutsche Bank currency strategist John Horner.
And while the US was the source of much of the financial woe, Horner said the greenback was unlikely to weaken to reflect this any time soon.
"While things are bad and getting worse, the US dollar will retain that safe haven status. It remains the world's viable reserve currency status. On a longer timeframe, the debts being accumulated now suggest the US dollar will have to weaken but we don't think that's a story for the near term, rather one for when the world does show signs of recovering."

for my very adventurous friend.
Not all those who wander are lost, my friend.
The world is huge, and yet it is so small,
If you take your first step, turn 'round the bend.
Feel the drizzle of Spring, smell leaves in Fall,
Splash water, frolic before Summer ends,
Rejoice at Wintry chill from mountains tall;
Meet new friends, welcome the good and the kind,
Let trust gift you what you set out to find.
[an ottava rima]
"Not all those who wander are lost," said J. R. R. Tolkien

Wages fell more than employment
Data now available from the U.S. Department of Labor�s Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) shows how the Great Recession�s impact has been distributed across the state. The QCEW data show that between the second quarter of 2008 and the second quarter of 2009 employment in Minnesota fell by 3.6 percent and total wages paid by the employers fell by 5.0 percent.From the new Minnesota budget update. The data for QCEW for Minnesota is here. (National data is due later this week.) The budget update showed income taxes were almost equal to forecast for November and December, but the latter was set to show very low growth in Q4 anyway. We're still way down on sales tax receipts, which indicates still to me a slow first half of 2010, inventory adjustment or not.
Job losses exceeded the state-wide average in central Minnesota, northeast Minnesota, and the Twin Cities region. Job losses in southwest, southeast and northwestern Minnesota were less than the statewide average, but still exceeded three percent.
Total wages paid by Minnesota employers fell by five percent over that same period. The declines in wages were largest in the twin cities and northeast Minnesota. Total wages grew slightly in southeast and southwest Minnesota even though the numbers of jobs declined.

On new year's eve, I tried to propagate my Yellow Hibiscus Plant. This Yellow Hibiscus is pretty and had bloomed 5 flowers already. It is still producing buds for flowering. I tried to pollinate the flowers but failed. The "ovaries" would drop from the stalks after a couple of days. It is very difficult to pollinate the flowers.
I made two cuts on a woody branch that has no bud. I peeled the bark away between the two cuts to expose the white area. Under the bark, the branch is green and you need to cut or scrape the green surface away. Try not to do too much as it may break the branch. I cut a hole in a plastic bag and inserted the branch into the hole.
I tied the end of the plastic bag with a wire to secure the base with the branch. This is to prevent the sphagnum moss from coming out of the bag.
I used a swap to apply the rooting hormone onto the white surface of the branch.
Applying the rooting hormone on the exposed branch area.
I have pre-soaked the sphagnum moss in water for a few hours. Squeezed dry the sphagnum moss but they are still moist. Wrapped the moist sphagnum moss over the branch and covered it with the plastic bag.

In a follow -up to a prior article on Toys R Us entering Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection back in the Fall of 2017, the company announced on Wednesday that they will be closing 180 stores by April.
The beleaguered toy retailer has been consistently losing market share and foot traffic due to stiff competition from Amazon, Wal-Mart, and Target. The Chapter 11 filing was due to a heavy debt load of $5 billion and the need to reorganize the company to emerge a more streamlined organization.
However, while most experts and industry analysts understood the Chapter 11 filing, and my prior article covered the necessity of the timing of the decision, consumer perception was that the chain was "going under".
The chain had to file when they did for bankruptcy protection because they had to be able to pay the suppliers to get the shelves stocked for the Christmas and holiday season (where the chain makes 90% of their annual sales).
The plan backfired because they failed to market the promotional items properly during the holiday season, and the toy seller neglected to properly provide a concise and simple explanation of the Chapter 11 decision.
Therefore, in survey results from customers the top reason why the company struggled at the holidays was because the public perception was that the chain was going to close their doors, so any gifts for the holidays were perceived to be not returnable merchandise. This perception caused shoppers to avoid the purchase decision at Toys R Us and to purchase those gifts elsewhere.
The company made a statement Wednesday regarding the store closures and cited "operational missteps" during the holiday season as the reason behind the closings. The company now has to move fast to salvage the future of the entire chain.
The competition from Target, who has placed many of their store locations near current Toys R Us locations as well as expanded their toy product offerings, has definitely cut into the revenue capture for Toys R Us. This competition is heightened by aggressive marketing campaigns from Amazon and Wal-Mart that are convenient places for customers to get a wider range of products as well.
The main issue with Toys R Us, in the survey results from consumers, is that they are not easy to shop either in-store or on-line. The company has recognized that both of these areas are a major source of the downward spiral they find themselves within at this point.
The ability to succeed in retail today in an increasingly competitive marketplace is to be an easy place for the consumer to make a purchase. The products must be easy to find and priced to move, and the omnichannel approach: in-store, over the phone, store pickup for large items, and a robust on-line presence are all essential to survival.
Toys R Us is apparently struggling in all of these areas, and they have to hope that this decision today will be approved by the bankruptcy court. They have to hope that they can restore confidence in both the toy suppliers and the consumers. The company has to improve operationally and become aggressive in promoting in-store and on-line product offerings which create a sense of urgency for the customer.
The unfortunate reality of the announcement today is that most likely the chain will announce more store closings in the future. The strategy is to focus on their best performing stores or their best potential locations, which is the path that other retailers have taken at this point in their life cycle.
A personal note, here amidst all of this is my own memories of going to Toys R Us as a child, and getting so excited about a new toy or game that just was released. It was a place you could go and be happy because they sold toys and that nostalgia for a different time makes this article really bittersweet.
The resources I consulted mentioned a rift between the company and toy suppliers because Toys R Us was still giving out executive bonuses before they paid the suppliers, and they were behind on payments. The argument can be made for both sides of that situation: the company does not want to lose quality executives to competitors over a compensation gap, but you also have to pay your bills.
The consolidation of stores, especially the elimination of underperforming stores, is a logical first step. The unfortunate consequence is the lost jobs involved, which in their statement the company did not address the actual number of eliminated jobs. The company needs capital to run a more streamlined operation, so executive bonus pay probably should be suspended until they emerge from Chapter 11 protection.
In the end, as one who has covered the retail space and bankrupt companies in the past, this is a familiar pattern which usually results in the end of the chain in question. The biggest issue here with the potential demise of Toys R Us is that some industry experts maintain that the toy business cannot survive without the presence of Toys R Us. The validity of that analysis may be tested in the near future.

Not content material with all of the Zenfone 2 fashions, Asus has tweaked one of the Zenfones from the 2014 lineup.
There appears to be no stopping Asus. The Taiwanese producer has launched a plethora of Zenfone 2 variants this yr to fill each price vary and goal totally different shoppers, and it doesn't appear to be achieved flooding the market with extra units. Asus has launched the Zenfone Go in India at this time, and the device is kind of the identical because the Zenfone 5 in phrases of hardware.
The primary modifications listed here are the change from an Intel CPU to the MediaTek MT6580 processor, which can or might not be capable of supply the identical degree of efficiency, and Android 5.1.1 as an alternative of Android 4.3 out of the field. The battery has gotten a downgrade from 2,one hundred ten mAh to 2,070 mAh, however the remaining of the specs stay the identical as earlier than.
These specs embrace a 5-inch HD display, 2GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, a microSD slot, dual SIM slots, and 8-megapixel and 2-megapixel rear and front-facing cameras. There's no LTE connectivity on-board, which may be a very good factor contemplating the smaller battery on the device.
The Zenfone Go shall be obtainable in India from online retailer Flipkart in Pure Black, Ceramic White and Glamour Purple colours, with a price tag of Rs. 7,999 (round $ one hundred twenty).

This contribution forms part of a series of articles which One Policy Place will publish in the next few days. We report from the European Business Summit which took place from 22 to 23 May in Brussels. Our articles summarise some of the sessions and detail the developments for policy and business which were highlighted by the speakers.
How will the new circular economy package influence Danone plastic recycling policy? with Philippe Diercxsens, Packaging & Environment Manager, Danone (This mini-session was part of the Sustainable Development Goals Conference at the EBS 2017)
Most products made by Danone are packed in plastics.
The rise of plastic production has risen exponentially in the last 50 years because of its characteristics: re-useable, light, and easy to use.
However, the plastic share in the carbon budget in 2050 will be 15% – up from 1% in 2014. Currently, 65% of plastics are based on materials made from fossil fuels, 8% are bio-based, and 27% are recycled.
Still, 51% of all plastic packaging material ends up in landfills.
Philippe Diercxsens from Danone presented a few examples of what the company had done to lower the environmental impact of their plastics.
First of all, they respect "design for recycling" rules. While working together with the entire PET (polyethylene terephthalate) value chain, manufacturing constraints were imposed so that producers know what is allowed, conditionally allowed and prohibited to make PET recyclable.
Secondly, they substituted packaging material, citing the example of a milk product that used to be sold in plastic pouches. The pouches were light-weight, so they easily fly away and produce litter.
The company has now substituted this design for a cone-shaped paper package, which has a thin layer of wax on the inside. This is more easily collected and recycled.
However, he says that they still have not found a substitute for the classic polystyrene yoghurt cups, which recyclers refuse to recycle due to the material being too light and dirty. Also, there is no market for recycled polystyrene.
Possible alternatives for this include PET2, polypropylene, board, and PLA (polylactic acid). The latter material is currently used in Germany, the US and Canada.
They are also in the process of de-coupling plastic packaging from fossil feedstock, by making use of bio-plastics.
Bioplastics are plastics derived from renewable feedstock. The first generation used the edible part of plants, but the second generation – where their work is currently focussed – used the non-edible part.
In the future, algae from the sea and other microorganisms could be used. PLA is an example of a commercial bioplastic, which can however only degrade in industrial plants, not in household composts. There was also Biopet, which might replace PET in the future.
Another issue Diercxsens highlighted was consumer education.
In the EU, there were big discrepancies in plastic recycling rates – In Malta over 70% of plastics end up in landfills, whereas in Austria, for example, almost none do.
More awareness could be raised by giving consumers access to the correct collection and recycling infrastructure, but this can also be achieved by including information on the package about how the material is supposed to be recycled.
The revision of the European packaging directive would set a target that 50-60% of plastics needed to be recycled – double the previous level.
The previous rate could be reached by collecting and recycling plastic bottles, but the higher target meant that all plastics had to be included.
There also needs to be a global effort to increase the practice of recycling plastics.
80% of all marine litter comes from India, China, Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand, for example, but they had no laws concerning it.
Furthermore, in Russia, there are barely any laws on waste management, which leads to a low rate of only 3-4% of plastics being recycled. Recycling is also hindered by the fact that there is no proper collection, sorting and recycling infrastructure in place.
However, recycling centres are the bottleneck.
Producers put new products on the market at all times without consulting recycling centres beforehand. In these, only five or six flows of recycling are present, meaning that only five or six types of plastic could be recycled.
For recyclers, only the most valuable plastics were worth recycling, and while technology existed to recycle more, the cost is too high to recycle up to 30 categories of plastics.
There are also no mandatory laws for the use of recycled plastics, since governments do not wish to harm food safety standards, and most plastic packaging has come into contact with foodstuffs.
However, Diercxsens noted that there have been positive developments.
For instance, he said, France would start to collect all types of plastic in the same bag in the near future, and similar plans existed in Germany and Spain.

Tomorrow, longtime rivals IBM and BEA will publish three
new jointly developed Java specifications designed to increase application
portability across both of their app server offerings. IBM and BEA survived a
long battle for J2EE application server supremacy among several competitors, and
some observers were surprised when the two firms revealed the collaboration last
According to Rod Smith, VP of Emerging Technologies in IBM's Software Group,
the two companies have developed three new specifications -- Service Data
Objects (SDO), Work Manager for Application Servers, and Timer for Application
Servers -- which they expect to implement in upcoming releases of IBM's
WebSphere and BEA's WebLogic Platform.
The new specs are designed to make life easier for developers who want to
connect business applications across application servers based on the Java 2
Platform, Enterprise Edition, Smith said. ''The goal of the collaboration is to
provide our customers with a simpler and more consistent platform for J2EE
development,'' he noted.
The two companies offered the following details on the new
Service Data Objects (SDO) -- Provides a unifying programming model for data
from heterogeneous data sources, including relational databases, XML data
sources, Web services and enterprise information systems. This specification
will provide a simple programming model for data that supports best-practice
application design patterns, and will be amenable to tools and frameworks that
will provide even greater developer productivity.
Work Manager for Application Servers -- Provides a simple API for application
server-supported concurrent execution of work items. This enables J2EE-based
applications (including Servlets and EJBs) to schedule work items for concurrent
execution, which will provide greater throughput and increased response time for
Timer for Application Servers -- Provides a simple API for setting timers in
an application server-supported fashion. This enables J2EE-based applications
(including Servlets, EJBs and JCA Resource Adapters) to schedule future timer
notifications and to receive timer notifications.
''BEA and IBM have collaborated in the past on new specifications. [Now,] we
are entering into a new phase where providing consistency across both companies'
application servers is of paramount importance to our customers,'' said Scott
Dietzen, chief technology officer at BEA Systems.
The two companies are jointly submitting the proposed specifications for Java
Community Process (JCP) consideration, Dietzen said. The JCP ''guides the
evolution of Java technology'' by producing specifications, reference
implementations and technology compatibility kits, via a consensus of industry
experts, that use a review process designed to allow an ever-widening audience
to evaluate and comment on the proposed specification. Both IBM and BEA are
members of one of the two JCP executive committees.
Meanwhile, to give developers and customers a chance to take the specs for a
test drive and to begin generating industry feedback, IBM and BEA will make the
specifications available on a royalty-free basis, the companies disclosed.
The new specifications, and a white paper entitled
Next-Generation Data Programming: Service Data Objects,
will be available on two Web sites: http://dev2dev.bea.com/technologies/commonj/index.jsp
and http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-commonj-sdowmt/.

I can't envision the opportunity to draw such a woman in such a situation… did you ask if you could draw her?

Cripes, Jason, I didn't draw her on the spot! I drew her from memory when I got home. I wanted to get on with other work but couldn't because I found the whole interaction so unsettling so I had to put some of it in black and white. I haven't caught her well... she was much smaller and more frail.

The Nature of Light
What is Light? Where does it come from? Where does the Light reside? Is the Light what we would otherwise consider for a God? To where does the power of Light extend? Is anything outside of its reach? Is everything withing the reach of the Light? What is the opposite? Who believes in Light?
Those are just some questions that I want to answer ever since I started writing posts about new races becoming Paladins. I dabbled a bit in each of the posts about the nature of the Light, but I think we need to clarify it. To determine once and for all the extent and power of the Light. Otherwise we are just circling around the issue as some cat would around a bowl of hot milk.
Before I start explaining what Light is, it would be good to determine what Light is not. We will go down the same list of attributes that are most commonly attributed to the Judeo-Christian God. Why that is, you ask? Well, I would consider that the One True God is the main inspiration for the Light in Warcraft. But that is my own opinion. If you do not agree with that, we can say that these are just the most common attributes ascribed to the being of higher power.
First of all, we need to determine what Light is. And to keep things simple, we should first define if the Light is alive or not. To be alive, it would require of Light to be a being. As we do not have any proof that Light itself is a being, we can for now assume it is not alive. That does not mean the Light is dead. It could mean that Light is just beyond such "simple" matters as life and death. What we can though establish, is that Light is an entity. Thus, we can consider the Light a Power. I personally prefer the term entity because it does not offer any jumps to premature conclusions.
What we did establish is that Light is real. It exists. It is nigh impossible to deny its existence, when its doings are quite obvious and can be witnessed as manifestations through its followers. We will return to them at later point. Now to other attributes of Light.
It would be best to just ask one question at a time. Is Light omnipotent? That is an interesting question. I think this is one of my favourite sentences to any question. But leaving that aside, we do not really have any information that could verify the claim that Light is in fact all-powerful. The reason for that is, that the Light is very atheistic in this respect. As we concluded earlier, the Light is not a being, it is an entity, from which its followers draw. Because it is an entity, it cannot be omnipotent. If it was a being, then the answer might be different. But even in that case, it would only be a speculation. One that we might never really chase down to the conclusion. It might be, or it might not be.
Next question, that naturally follows omnipotence is, is Light omnibenevolent? To that answer could be affirmative. For one, Light does not make any difference between between its followers. Some might use its powers for good, some for more shady reasons. Light does not care, as long as the faith, or conviction of an individual is strong enough, Light will be available to all. Now, some will say, that omnibenevolent means all-loving. How can Light love all, when I just said it does not really care. Light might love all equally, and in that definition of love, falls indifference as well.
Is Light omniscient, all-knowing? Light itself, no. I would dare say that our definition of relationship between the Light and its worshippers if flawed from the very start. And we should redefine this first, to even talk about the Light. But if we did that, we would transform the Light into a common tool on our disposal, while in fact, the followers of Light are its tools. And if we take that Light is omnibenevolent, and all living beings its tools, than we must assert that to some degree, the Light is omniscient. Even if the Grand Design is obscured from our view, and only few rare individuals are able to glimpse at what might come to pass in future.
Because we defined the Light as an entity, it is safe to assume it has no beginning or end. It is eternal. It always was, is, and will be. What that means, is that it has no beginning and no end. It is older than order, chaos, good, evil, titans, and demons. The Light is, we could say beyond space and time itself. And at the same time it is ever and omnipresent.
The remaining qualities we need to determine are creator, sustainer, and if the Light is perfectly free. This is where things get tricky. For all we know, the Light might just be the Aristotle's Unmoved mover of all things. Prima Causa, the beginning of all. The one thing that made all else possible. But this, is pure speculation. It might be so, or it might not. We will probably never really find a definite answer to that question. The question, if the Light sustains all life, and if life would cease to exist without the Light is the same as the previous one. We do not know. It might be so or it might not.
It is to be said, that when we talk about the Light in this manner, the Light is far above all forces in the Universe. No Spirits of Nature, Titans, demigods, or Old gods can even compare to it. I will go in detail about this later, for now, you will just have to humour me.
The last question that needs an answer is focused around the freedom of the Light. If we take that Light is everything we just said it is, then it is given that Light is free. That said, it could be that we, as we are, are just not able to comprehend the Light as is. The Light could probably do whatever it pleases, and we might never notice it doing anything. Simply because it is far beyond our own comprehension of what Light is.
To sum this up, and say in short what Light is. Light is an entity of significant, if not unimaginable power. Its existence is unquestionable, and true. From what we can determine, the Light is omniscient ,and omnibeneavolent. This might mean that it cares for all life, yet does not show this in any way. The Light is perfectly free. The qualities of which existence in Light we are not certain, but are still possible are omnipotence, the quality of sustainer, and power of creation. Those three could be true, or not. There is not enough proof to either confirm of deny the existence of these three qualities in the Light.
As this is getting rather lengthy, I will stop here for now. Next time, I aim to examine how people approach the Light, and what are general beliefs about it on Azeroth, and beyond. And how the Light actually works.

If you are blessed with curly or wavy hair just like me, you probably went through the same struggles I experieces over the years. I'd like to share some tips and my favorite products which helped me to maintain my mane.
My personal hair story
I was not born with luscious curls but thick and straight hair. However, already in elementary school my hair started to get its first waves and over the years it become more and more curly. I wouldn't say I have the same bouncy curls as the girl in the illustration but rather smooth waves. Yet, depending on what I do with my hair, I can wear it straight, wavy or curly. Luckily, it has grown to be very versatile alongside my advancing skills and knowledge. However, at first I hated my hairstyle and as every girl in highschool I'd dream of a long, straight version of what was growing on my head. You know, everything you don't have, you desperately want to make your own. But back then I had no experience with styling or treating my hair, so I was never satisfied. Today, I love mine and I can honestly say I'm always little bit down on the days it does not go the way I want it too.
So, here are my 5 tips on how to manage curly hair:
1. Embrace the curls
Don't try to hide what you have on your head, whether it is just wavy, curly or coily. I see many girls and women, who only straighten their wonderful hair, who don't do it properly and on top of that constantly damage it. These days there're so many great products to style your hair with and most hairdressers know how to give you an appropriate hair cut regardless of whether you want to wear it short or long. Been there and done that!
If you always played with the thought to let your curls run free but you were overwhelmed by the amount of products out there, I can recommend some essential basics: A weightless & moisturizing shampoo, good hair oil, a hair mask & diffuser. Other optional items are a hair straightener, a styling cream and a conditioner.
2. Moisture, moisture & moisture
Curly hair is often dry and damaged from constantly dying it, treating it with aggressive products or hot heat styling tools. The results are lifeless curls, frizzy hair and split ends. So, get a good haircut to start off with and begin hydrating regularly without weighing your curls down. I'm no big fan of conditioners as they often make my hair flat and heavy but I like to put some into the lengths of my hair for protection before shampooing it. Once a week I do a hair mask, which leaves my hair nurtured and moisturized. My favorites are the Wella Care Enrich Mask and the Original & Mineral The Protein Power Base Mask. If you have time you could also leave it in overnight. A cheap and natural alternative is coconut oil, which you can apply as a mask or simply add to the tips of your hair. Hair oils, such as the Moroccanoil Treatment, have been a lifesaver for my hair in general. After every hair wash I always add some drops to the tips and the lengths of my hair to prevent split ends and create defined curls.
3. Don't overdo it with the cleansing
As I described before, curly hair is often dry and washing it daily just adds up to it. I used to wash my hair everyday before I discovered the magic abilities of hair straighteners, which are not only useful for making your hair straight but creating curls with it too. Today, I wash my hair every 2-3 days, since it does not get greasy anyways and I can style it better on the second and third day. If I need to freshen up, I just add some dry shampoo to the roots, rub it in and I can go another day without shampoo. Forget those old dry shampoos which leave residues or a white layer on your head. I've been using the Batiste range for more than a year and I'm absolutely in love. Since I started this routine my hair has thanked me with less frizz, more shine and strength. If you are used to washing everyday, try to prolong it slowly to see the difference.
4. Don't just blow-dry. Diffuse
On of the earliest steps I included into my hair routine as a 15 year old was using a diffuser when drying my hair. A diffuser helps to keep the natural curls intact and bouncy for an overall even look. Although a proper air-dry is better to prevent heat damage, I have to admit I prefer the voluminous look I get from blow-drying my hair. However, to limit the damage I give my curls some time to dry on their own (ca. 30 min) before. Also, if I start with soaking wet hair, it takes me forever to get done. Therefore, after applying some defining styling cream and letting it air dry for a while, I start putting parts of my hair on the diffuser. My rule of thumb: The less you move, the less you disrupt your curl pattern and the more defined your curls will be.
5. Don't brush it. Detangle
Every person who tried to brush out their curls enjoyed a frizzy mess on their head. I know, you can get knots in your hair over time but if you maintain a regular haircut and moisturize properly, your tips won't fasten up so quickly. After every hair wash I properly brush my wet hair with a Tangle Teezer, which basically made me forget the pain I used to experience as a child. In between my hair washing days, I only use combs or my fingers to detangle my mane. Thereby, my curl structure remains intact and is ready for any hairstyle I want to have.
Overall I want to raise awareness for curly hair, embrace it, wear it naturally and start loving it the way I do. At first it may require more work than other hair structures but once you found your perfect routine, you'll discover how easy it is to maintain.

It was the more experienced Richard Bird who was able to do just that. Meara crashed out in the first moto when leading which he'll feel cost him the victory on the day.
Robert Hamilton had a solid day on his Risk Racing Yamaha to secure third overall but still has speed to find to battle with Bird and Meara for race wins. Hamilton's team mate, Sean Devlin edged out the ever improving Jordan McCaw to secure fourth overall.

Deontay Wilder is eager to fight troubled heavyweight Tyson Fury after drug rehab
American wants to go toe-to-toe with the Gypsy King in Britain but bout has been put on hold after suspension
DEONTAY WILDER is still eyeing a 'mega fight' against troubled fellow heavyweight Tyson Fury.
Fury had his licence to fight suspended by the British Boxing Board of Control last Thursday, but Wilder insists he still wants to go toe to toe with the Gypsy King.
Speaking to The Sun, Wilder said: "I don't think he [Tyson Fury] has retired. I just want him to heal up physically and mentally and hurry up back to the heavyweight division.
"I think it will be a mega fight between us and I want to give the fans what they want."
Wilder pulled off an impressive KO against Chris Arreola in eight rounds back in July, despite sustaining a broken hand and torn bicep during the bout.

The WBC heavyweight champion is currently undergoing extensive physiotherapy after successful surgery on his injuries - but we're unlikely to see him return to the ring until 2017.
The Bronze Bomber has already confirmed that he would be willing to travel to Britain to secure a showdown with Fury and is reluctant to believe that has really thrown in the towel for good.
"He's always talking about retiring but he's saying that because everybody is at him," explained the Alabama-born boxer.
"People can be too harsh, especially with social media. It brings a person down. God bless him and help him get back to his family."
Fury reportedly failed a drugs test in the United States in September before withdrawing from the rematch against Wladimir Klitschko on 29 October in Manchester.
Earlier this week Fury vacated his WBO and WBA world heavyweight titles and the British Boxing Board of Control later announced his licence had been suspended.
Wilder, who turns 31 next week, prays Fury makes a full and speedy recovery amid concerns for his mental health.
He said: "All my prayers go out to Tyson Fury. I know it's difficult to be in his situation. There are so many people in his business and have so many questions about why all these things are going on.
"Only God knows. I just hope he overcomes the hardship he's going through right now and God bless him and his family."

All eyes on fly tipping - launch of Operation Eyeball
A brand new fly tipping task force named Operation Eyeball has been formed to tackle fly tipping in rural parts of North Yorkshire and the Borough of Scarborough.
Bringing together North Yorkshire Police with landowners and district and unitary councils will allow the sharing of intelligence and information to tackle the crime. A key element will be planned and targeted enforcement action days.
North Yorkshire County Council, Network Rail, the NFU and the Environment Agency, as landowners, are also involved. Along with City of York Council, all seven North Yorkshire local authorities who have enforcement powers for this crime are also involved in the operation: Ryedale District Council, Richmondshire District Council, Hambleton District Council, Harrogate District Council, Craven District Council, Scarborough Borough Council and Selby District Council.
North Yorkshire Police will be gathering and sharing intelligence around fly tipping hot spots, suspect vehicles and waste carriers.
Harry Briggs, Scarborough Borough Council Environmental Enforcement and Contracts Manager said:
"We have worked hard over recent years to develop close working relationships with neighbouring authorities; unfortunately environmental offences do not stop at our boundary. We've also regularly sought and received support from North Yorkshire Police when tackling offenders, sharing intelligence and ultimately bringing offenders before court. Closer joint initiatives should deter small and large scale environmental crime for the benefit of all in our borough."
Julia Mulligan, Police and Crime Commissioner for North Yorkshire, commented:
"Operation Eyeball is a wide ranging operation with a clear aim – to reduce fly tipping in North Yorkshire through an innovative approach. By bringing together organisations that are on the front line of the problem and have to deal with its consequences, we are taking an important first step to tackle it. I welcome the approach being taken by councils and would encourage anyone having to deal with fly tipping to get in touch with them."
Supt Paula Booth of North Yorkshire Police said:
"Fly-tipping is a selfish crime that blights local environments and spoils people's enjoyment of our towns and countryside. It is a source of pollution, a potential danger to public health and a hazard to wildlife. It also undermines legitimate waste businesses that operate within the law.
"By working together, we can tackle this issue. We also need help from the public – if you find or witness fly-tipping, wherever it is, record as many details about the incident and the waste as you can and report it to your local authority or via the gov.uk website. This will help the authorities take action against those responsible and stop them fly-tipping in the future."
Anyone who witnesses fly tipping in the Borough of Scarborough should report it to Scarborough Borough Council online at scarborough.gov.uk/home/environment/fly-tipping or call the Environment Agency 24-hour hot line number on 0800 807060.

Pre-Cybernations Edit
Cybernations was started in 1994 when Kevin (admin to some) was only about 13 years old. It was only a map, thumb-tacks, and a few of his friends. Back then depending on what territories you owned the real life statistics (population, size, etc) depicted how well you were doing in game. The idea was kept until 2003, when Kevin learned how convert the old map and tack game into a real game to be shared with others. It was made but Kevin had underestimated the task and left www.cybernations.net as an unused domain. In May 2005 he returned to it and laid the groundwork but again was overwhelmed and walked away unfinished. In December 2005, with a two week vacation, Kevin once again returned to cybernations. This time he was determined to finish it. Not liking the original design it was scrapped and started anew. On January 6, 2006 Cybernations was finally released to the public. Kevin wanted the game to be pure so he kept it free and used the satisfaction he received as a payment.
In the Beginning Edit
Cybernations had a very slow start to it and grew in small day to day progressions. Nations were attracted by advertisement on various websites and by word of mouth. One of the original players-Depraved of New England had this to say about how he found the game.
"I came upon the game through pure luck really. I googled "political sim." After about three or four pages of browsing, I saw Cyber Nations and immediately clicked. Just the name alone hooked me into finding out more. When I read into it, browsed the forums (which were at that time, completely empty beyond the "About Cyber Nations" section) and the next thing you know I'm signed up and ruling the nation of New England. I joined the game simply because after I read and after just three days of playing, I knew this would become huge. I just wanted to be a part of that growing community and watch the game mature into what it is becoming; possibly the best geo-political simulation ever created for free."
By the end of a week there was only about 100 players and the community was tight-knit and very friendly, grudges and arguments were few and far between. As the community grew, a population boom was bound to occur. That boom came when cybernations reached the Nationstates players. New members came in never-ending waves as word rapidly spread through the massive N.S. community. Since then the game has never been the same.
At first the game was riddled with irregularities and coding bugs that were eliminated just in time for a new one to emerge. After two weeks the appearance of these bugs was limited and under control. This presented Kevin with a great opportunity to turn to his players and ask their needs. The issue that was agreed upon was the random battles and a way of better controlling them. Thus after a few weeks of complaints and ideas for improvement technology was introduced on February 8. The next large change was the switch from the old host to a newer, better one. The old host was found responsible for many of the errors that plagued the early game.
The First Alliances Edit
It only took a few days before the verbal agreements between players turned into actual alliances. The first was the Cross Atlantic Treaty Organization (CATO) lead by Depraved of New England, followed by the the Imperial Nations Coalition (INC) lead by Ninjas of Ninjaland. These two alliances grew unchallenged and reached new heights. As with all things a little competition is a good thing, many new alliances came along, but with such giants as CATO and INC they quickly failed due to lack of membership. CATO, following massive growth decided to expand and become the Global Alliance and Treaty Organization or GATO. Eventually tensions grew and war became an ever present reality. Inevitably the tensions reached a climax.
World War I Edit
- Main article GATO-INC War
At first it was debated as to whether or not call it a world war. It was a short war between the new and powerful alliances of INC and GATO. Tension had been growing between the two alliances for a while with insults flying both ways. The war was started when this post on the original forums was made by ninja.
"INC is not officaly at war with GATO. However, Im personaly at war with GATO! I ask for all INC members to join me. If we work together we can bring GATO down while building ourselves up in the process! Remember, this is not a orderyou do not have to fight. your leader, NINJA. P.S. If you are going to go to war with GATO, to help me, and INC. then please make a post here! thanks again, Ninja "[[sic]]
This war quickly ended within about a week INC gave up and disbanded into oblivion, along with the the ITT (International Trade Agreement) which was run by INC. Many INC members joined into GATO turning the already growing giant into unstoppable force, the likes of which only matched by the NPO. With the destruction of the INC there was room for new alliances to grow and prosper. It was only a short time before the void was indeed filled.
The Rise of the Next Great Alliances Edit
After a while two new alliances broke free. The first was the Greenland Republic. This was an alliance that required members to be located in Greenland. This alliance started off very slow because of lack of members in Greenland. They soon discovered that they had to change the name to incorporate more people into their alliance. They then changed their name to the National Alliance of Arctic Countries or NAAC. The other new alliance was the New Pacific Order or the NPO. This alliance took off very fast, because it was an alliance for the vast numbers of Nationstates players. This alliance grew and became very powerful. The rise of these two new alliances only led to trouble in the future.

An appeal has been launched to reunite an abandoned rabbit with its owner.
The large pink mammal was found shivering in a ditch in Ewell, Surrey, last week after it somehow became separated from its master.
An eagle-eyed resident who spotted the shaking pet near an industrial estate is attempting to track down the keeper, who is believed to be struggling to come to terms with the loss.
In a rampant appeal to reunite the rabbit (yes, it's actually a sex toy), the local who spotted him printed out a number of 'LOST' posters.
The sign said: 'Found, Longmead Road, Ewell.
'Large rabbit. Unusual colouring, seems well looked-after.
'Please help us reunite it with its owner.'
The cheeky resident, who asked not to be named, said: 'The poor rabbit was stuck in a damp crevice.
'It needs to be back in its warren before the weather gets too cold.
'It just proved too slippery to catch.'

Researchers at Milliman, Inc. and Brigham Young University wanted to determine if model size affects purchase intention and overall brand belief about specific diet and non-diet food product types.
Participants in the study were shown ads for 30 seconds, as they would appear in a magazine, then they were asked to complete a questionnaire. Advertisements "featured either a thinner or heavier size model selling either a diet or non-diet product."
Overall, the thinner model appeared to boost purchase intent and brand belief of diet products while the heavier model had a negative effect on brand belief and purchase intent for diet products. Finally, the study did not show any evidence that the model size would affect purchase intent and brand belief for non-diet products.

I worked out (with no help from the elf on the shelf or anyone else whatsoever), that the last office Christmas party I attended was BT (before Tommy), with Mark (a time when we both owned a different sir name),and during a period in my life when my living arrangements featured a house by the pylon, with friend and big dog.
It was the one where Mark and I missed our last train, consequence being, we had to fork out for a very expensive cab journey home.
Then I lost the receipt to claim cab journey from HR.
Not that I was sure HR would have allowed me to claim money.
My argument for claim was based on; the coach driver waited too long for drunken people to leave party (I would like to add here, Mark and I left party on time to meet required scheduled coach departure), coach driver insisted on pleasing all drunken people and dropped them at places other than the designated train station, so Mark and I missed last train, from last designated train station.
I'm hoping I've now made a clearer picture - it most definitely was not our fault that we missed our last train.
Unfortunately, as stated above, I misplaced the cab receipt, in my drunken mood.
So I lost all hope of a fair trial.
What's worse, I will never know the outcome, due to misplacing my unexpected expenditure.
It will always be a mystery to me.
I've moaned about this for years (yes, really).
The year is now 2016.
I have decided to be mature and let bygones be bygones and attend the office Christmas party once again.
How about that for progress and forgiveness.
A round of applause please.
Or perhaps I just fancied a rare night out. With my great team.
One things for sure, this year I was safe in the knowledge, the office Christmas party was held at our London based head office.
Thus allowing me to be in charge of leaving the venue on time, and descending straight home via train only, thank you very much.
So I left Mark behind to look after Tommy. Not that this has anything to do with missing last trains, merely a reflection on life AT (after Tommy).
Okay, who agrees it's not a proper Christmas party until you've worn bright/weird wig and posed with prop for photograph?
It's one of my shinning memories of the night.
This was of course after a quick drink at pub beforehand, our welcome drink and mini burger (not enough food, my lame excuse), our drinks tokens and non drinking people's drinks tokens.
At least I didn't spend a fortune on a cab ride home!
Oh no, not this time!
Even if I did feel shockingly awful the next day and remembered another reason why I have avoided office Christmas party for the past four years.
Still, it was a cracking good night of beneficial bonding, starring a great bunch of colleagues.
Colleagues I feel lucky to work with and who don't mind wearing wigs and props.
The end.
I hope you liked my true story.
I love working with this one.
Here we are! Can you spot which one I am?

Yes, it's a good story!
I'm glad you didn't have too many problems and didn't spend so much money at your office party. It's probably nice to have a change of pace and see your co-workers in a different context than the daily routine of work.
I used to love those office parties! It's nice to get out and have fun with others. It's a lot harder doing so after you have have kids!

Thanks ChicagoWing!
Yes definitely nice to see co-workers in a different context.
But alas, as you say, not so easy when you have kids!
Hope all good with you.

'The Voice' Winner Chloe Kohanski Never Really Thought She'd Win
Chloe Kohanski was crowned the winner of The Voice season 13 just last night (December 19) — but she actually never thought she'd win!
The 23-year-old singer, who was originally part of Team Miley before Team Blake stole her in the battle rounds, opened up to reporters after her crowning.
"I never had a moment where I thought I have this in the bag," Chloe shared. "It instilled a lot of confidence in me. No matter what I was walking away with I have a sense of who I am."
Chloe adds that she has big plans for her music career going forward.
"The first thing on my mind is working on a record," she says. "I think you should never stop learning and the coolest part of working with you is hearing a new perspective."
Chloe also wants "to plan a tour and I'm thinking about visuals for that as well. I'm very excited that this is just a catapult into what is a very creative process for me."
TELL JJJ: Did you think Chloe was going to win?

Mechanical Stimulation by Postnasal Drip Evokes Cough
Mechanical Stimulation by Postnasal Drip Evokes Cough - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
Cough affects all individuals at different times, and its economic burden is substantial. Despite these widespread adverse effects, cough research relies on animal models, which hampers our understanding of the fundamental cause of cough. Postnasal drip is speculated to be one of the most frequent causes of chronic cough; however, this is a matter of debate. Here we show that mechanical stimuli by postnasal drip cause chronic cough. We distinguished human cough from sneezes and expiration reflexes by airflow patterns. Cough and sneeze exhibited one-peak and two-peak patterns, respectively, in expiratory airflow, which were also confirmed by animal models of cough and sneeze. Transgenic mice with ciliary dyskinesia coughed substantially and showed postnasal drip in the pharynx; furthermore, their cough was completely inhibited by nasal airway blockade of postnasal drip. We successfully reproduced cough observed in these mice by injecting artificial postnasal drip in wild-type mice. These results demonstrated that mechanical stimulation by postnasal drip evoked cough. The findings of our study can therefore be used to develop new antitussive drugs that prevent the root cause of cough.

Qual question: What is the function of the Flag painted mast above the cars on the right side of the picture.
The "Belknap Pole" was established on carriers after the USS Belknap (CG-26) collided with the USS John F Kennedy (CVA-67) on November 22, 1975. Since the Island of the carrier is offset to starboard it is difficult for the Officer of the Deck to visually determine the true course of the ship. The Belknap Pole, on the starboard side of the ship just forward of the island, provides a visual reference of the ships true heading.
Six Belknap sailors and one Kennedy sailor died as a result of the collision.
Following a port call at Catania, Sicily (1-3 October 1975), John F. Kennedy participated in a National Week exercise with Italian and other NATO forces (4-8 October), and then transited to the Strait of Messina (9-13 October), and, ultimately, reached Naples, out of which she conducted cyclic operations in the Tyrrhenian Sea during the latter part of October and in mid-November.
During the third such cycle of operations that began on 19 November 1975, on 22 November, at 2159 local time, the guided missile cruiser Belknap (CG-26), while maneuvering to take her station on John F. Kennedy during the night's last recovery operations, collided with her approximately 70 nautical miles east of Sicily. On board the carrier, a severe fuel fire blazed up the port side, and although firefighters contained the blaze there inside of 10 minutes, but a receiving room below burned for several hours. At one point, heavy smoke forced the evacuation of all the carrier's fire rooms, forcing her to go dead in the water. Temporarily hors de combat, John F. Kennedy diverted all flights to Naval Air Facility Sigonella, with the exception of her embarked SH-3Ds from HS-11 that supported the unfolding rescue and relief operations.
John F. Kennedy's overhanging angled deck, however, had ripped into Belknap's superstructure from her bridge aft as the cruiser passed beneath it. JP-5 fuel from ruptured lines in the port catwalk sprayed onto severed electrical wiring in her gaping wound. Flames engulfed the damaged areas of the cruiser, and within minutes, Belknap's entire amidships superstructure was an inferno. Shortly after the fire began, boats from other vessels operating with John F. Kennedy and Belknap began to pull alongside the burning ship, often with complete disregard for their own safety. Ammunition from Belknap's three-inch ready storage locker, located amidships, cooked off, hurling fiery fragments into the air and splashing around the rescue boats. Undaunted, the rescuers pulled out the seriously wounded and delivered fire-fighting supplies to the sailors who refused to surrender their ship to the conflagration. Guided missile destroyer Claude V. Ricketts and destroyer Bordelon (DD-881) moved in on both sides of Belknap, their men directing fire hoses into the amidships area that the stricken ship's crew could not reach. Claude V. Ricketts moved in and secured alongside Belknap's port side, and evacuated the injured while fragments from exploding ammunition showered down upon her weather decks. Frigate Pharris (FF-1094) closed in the carrier's port side to provide fire-fighting assistance.
Among the acts of heroism on board John F. Kennedy were those that earned recommended citations to Aviation Structural Mechanic (Structures) 3d Class Raymond A. Pabon, Aviation Structural Mechanic (Structures) Airman William L. Snyder, and Aviation Structural Mechanic (Hydraulics) 3d Class Harold T. Collier from VF-32. Airman James D. Lunn, of VA-72, having been issued an oxygen breathing apparatus, grabbed a hose and climbed up three levels to the source of a fire. Perceiving a dull red-orange glow of burning tires within the thick black smoke, Lunn trained his hose upon it until an explosion blew him backwards through a hatch, depositing him three decks below in a foot of water. He was taken to sickbay, where the carrier's medical people treated his burned hands and lacerated right ear.
Sadly, John F. Kennedy lost one man, Yeoman 2d Class David A. Chivalette of CVW-1, to smoke inhalation; two men from VA-72 (one of whom was the aforementioned Airman Lunn), suffered injuries. Belknap lost seven men; 23 suffered serious injuries. HS-11's Sea Kings flew over 36 hours of support flights, transferring 88 men, including 17 litter patients and 60 hurt, but ambulatory, sailors. Ultimately towed to Philadelphia, Belknap was decommissioned and rebuilt.
