Your guide to festival style in the presence of Queen Bey.
Whether you live for festival style or painfully cringe at the sound of those two words, Coachella season is upon us! But this year, we can all get excited for the Californian music festival because Beyoncé is
a the headlining act. While Coachella style marches to the beat of its own drum, we all know to expect the token flower crowns, crochet crop tops, and abundance of choker necklaces. But whether you're a seasoned pro or a newbie only showing up for Queen Bey, consider this your guide to dressing for Coachella without looking like a walking cliché this year.

Practically made for festival season, you can never go wrong in a pair of denim cutoff shorts. Style the staple with a lacy bodysuit for an unexpected pairing.

For immediate release
Tyne Valley Community Complex Receives Federal and Provincial Funding to Upgrade Kitchen Facilities
Communities, Cultural Affairs and Labour
View details and
Our Government, through its Economic Action Plan, recognizes the importance of maintaining community infrastructure, which in turn supports tourism growth and assists with economic development, said the Honourable Gail Shea, on behalf of the Honourable Keith Ashfield, Minister of State (Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency). By upgrading the kitchen facilities in the Tyne Valley Community Complex, we are investing in both the Tyne Valley Community and local festivals and events.
The project will provide funding to renovate and purchase equipment for the kitchen facilities at the Tyne Valley Community Complex in support of local festivals and events. The kitchen facilities are utilized during the Tyne Valley Oyster Festival for the preparation of the famous oyster suppers, as well as various community events throughout the year. A modernized facility will provide a venue to host more events, draw more people to the area, and provide economic benefits to other businesses in the community.
Community Infrastructure is a key component to our rural way of life, said Paula Biggar, MLA for Tyne Valley Linkletter, on behalf of the Honourable Carolyn Bertram, Minister of Communities, Cultural Affairs and Labour. This facility is used extensively year round; the new kitchen facilities will help to further the usage of the building and create a more accessible space.
The Government of Canada is investing over $30,000 in this project through the Community Adjustment Fund (CAF). Province of Prince Edward Island through the Department of Communities, Cultural Affairs and Labour is providing over $6,500 from the Island Community Fund. The Tyne Valley Firemens Club is contributing $4,450 towards the project.
The Tyne Valley Community Complex includes a firemens club, bowling centre, and kitchen and banquet facilities. The facility has a historic relationship with the Tyne Valley Oyster Festival. For the past 15 years, members at the complex have prepared and served upwards of 1,200 oyster dinners over a two-day period in the current facilities.
The Complex benefits our community and allows us to host many tourist events, said Ernest Newcombe, President of the Tyne Valley Community Complex. This funding will allow us to improve our kitchen, host more events and serve more people.
Canadas Economic Action Plan will provide a total of $1 billion over two years through CAF to support initiatives such as reforestation activities, investments in machinery or equipment, demonstration of new mining technologies, initiatives to improve market access for products and other local economic diversification activities.
The Government of Prince Edward Island has committed a total of $27.5 million in Island Community Fund funding for six years. For more information on the program, visit the Infrastructure Secretariat website at www.gov.pe.ca/go/infrastructure.
The Island Community Fund is just one component of the over $80 million the province is investing in infrastructure for our one island community.

Today is my second from the Neff watch brand, and has a nice unusual design.
The Neff brand started in 2002 with the name Neff Headwear, initially specialising in skate and surf wear, before starting the Neff Vision eyewear and Neff Time watches.
This model is part of a range called Daily Wild, which has the model number NF0208. The Daily Wild watches are all 2 hand dial analogue watches with a large plastic case and thick silicone or rubber strap. The watches come in all manner of different designs, but all of them have the same model number.
This design is called Lime, an at first glance looks like it is only a 1 hand watch. The artwork which seems to be on the face of the watch is actually a disc which represents the hour hand, and has caused a few people to need a while to spot what time it is. The hours disc is slightly transparent, so you can see hour markers through the yellow part, but there is a clear window with a pointer which indicates which hour it is. The strap follows the same colour scheme as the face and is in lime green, yellow, and white, with a Neff branded black buckle.
The watch back has the word Daily in large letters as well as the Neff round face logo, along with some basic information. For materials, it says that the back is ABS reinforced stainless steel, and that the case is 5atm water resistant. It also shows that inside, the quartz movement is from Singapore, which you don't see that often.
This design isn't for sale anymore, so I think it is an older design (late 00s, or early 10s), but the others for sale are around $35, so I'd guess the same rrp for this watch.

The Time That Zombies Attacked My Fraternity House & I Used My Black Ops Skills To Defend It
Lots has happened since I lasted posted something on Cinematically Correct. For one, we all celebrated Thanksgiving. Well, all of us except those damn dirty Commies trying to destroy our economy. We also went through Black Friday (a fantastic Steely Dan song BTW) and are currently enduring Cyber Monday, which as we all know is about this:
Ha. But seriously, plenty has happened. Bad Korea is upset over Good Korean calling them names and stuff, some guy named Wiki leaked all over the place, and more importantly, I wrote a review of the fifth episode of "The Walking Dead". Get your priorities straight and read the ramblings of a mediocre writer made further unreadable due to sleep deprivation.
But on to the real task at hand. Last night, I woke up at some point in the middle of a fairly odd dream combining several things that I had recently watched. Obviously, they had been rattling around in my head brain and were combined in a fiery ball of flaming fire. For some reason, my mind had combined "The Walking Dead", Call of Duty: Black Ops, and my fraternity house to create a monstrosity that could not be slept through. Certainly someone was trying to go all "Inception" on me and I snaked my way out of it. I'm clever like that, so stop trying to infiltrate my dreams DiCaprio.
My fraternity house (which I haven't visited in over ten years) has three floors. I should say "had" three floors as the charter was pulled by the University and the house turned into apartments thus destroying years of my youth…I digress. On the back of the house is a large wooden fire escape. Yes, it's wood. That way, if the house caught on fire, it would too. Genius, I know.
I found myself perched atop the fire escape, rifle in hand, plugging away at the oncoming zombie horde. Of course, this was all done in first person shooter style, complete with a laser sight and everything. I laid there and fired away, only stopped by annoying sorority girls (are there another kind?) and the occasion zombie that staggered past my defenses. I even shot a few rival fraternity members just in case they may be zombies. Look, just because a zombie is saying, "Hey, please don't shoot me! I'm a real guy!" doesn't mean they are telling the truth. If anything, zombies are a very dishonest bunch of non-dead dead people.
So I shot at what had to be tens of zombies, alley cats, prostitutes (except when dead, they're called hookers), West Virginia University graduates, Green Party members, etc. You know, all menace to society type people. Oddly enough, I'm a very non-violent person when I'm not playing a video game that awards you bonus points for shooting someone in the face or stabbing them specifically in the back. I'm a big believer in the right to bear arms, but I truly despise guns. That's not a joke. That's a rare actual opinion that I really, really hold.
I woke up before I really got a chance to understand how the zombies came to be. It would be super if I could learn why I felt the need to defend a fraternity house that I haven't seen since Al Gore thought he could be President. You would think I would want to guard my actual home today. Of course, it's only in danger from a guy that looks like the Predator and several large barking squirrels so there's really no danger there.
Cinematically Correct note: This is really all I've got today. [whispers] I'm sorry.
November 29, 2010 at 3:43 PM
That was awesome.
November 29, 2010 at 4:59 PM
Using that logic, you should've gotten the boy bands too. The fact that you didn't shows just how unpatriotic you are.

The silicon overlords
Now that the computers have taken over the world, the human pawns kill each other. Science fiction? Not according to today's O:
In a world in which many children have their own TV and cell phone, and anyone with ear buds can dive into the solitariness of his iPod, the lack of human connection is increasing. Public spaces are becoming private aggregations of solitary individuals. Add to that the isolation born of postwar mobility, and you have a toxic stew for people who are mentally unstable and vulnerable....FWIW, the whole thing is here.
Technology offers comforts but then makes it easy for newcomers to avoid forming relationships. Instead of going to the trouble of making new friends, we can turn on the TV and watch "Lost."

Govt unveils ToRs of inquiry commission

- Risk factors for cardiovascular disease improved more in those doing yoga than in those doing no exercise. When compared to no exercise, yoga was associated with significant improvement in each of the primary outcome risk factors measured: body mass index was reduced by 0.77 kg/m2 (measured as a "mean difference"), systolic blood pressure reduced by.21 mm Hg, low-density (bad) lipoprotein cholesterol reduced by 12.14 mg/dl, and high-density (good) lipoprotein cholesterol increased by 3.20 mg/dl. There were also significant changes seen in secondary endpoints — body weight fell by 2.32 kg, diastolic blood pressure by 4.9 mm Hg, total cholesterol by 18.48 mg/dl, and heart rate by.27 beats/min. However, no improvements were found in parameters of diabetes (fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin).
- Yoga was found to have comparable effects on risk factors as aerobic exercise. The investigators note that this might be because of yoga's impact on stress reduction, "leading to positive impacts on neuroendocrine status, metabolic and cardio-vagal function."
- Risk factor improvements (in BMI, blood pressure, lipid levels) were significant when yoga was used in addition to medication. Among patients with existing coronary heart disease, yoga provided a statistically significant benefit in lowering LDL cholesterol when added to medication (statins and lipid-lowering drugs).
Commenting on the results, senior author Professor Myriam Hunink from Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam, and Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, said that, although the evidence of yoga's beneficial effect in cardiovascular health is growing, a physiological explanation for this effect remains unclear. "Also unclear," she added, "are the dose-response relationship and the relative costs and benefits of yoga when compared to exercise or medication. However, these results indicate that yoga is potentially very useful and in my view worth pursuing as a risk improvement practice."
My Take: In view of yoga's ease of uptake, evidence supports yoga's acceptability to "patients with lower physical tolerance like those with pre-existing cardiac conditions, the elderly, or those with musculoskeletal or joint pain." Yoga has the potential to be a cost-effective treatment and prevention strategy given its low cost, lack of expensive equipment or technology, potential greater adherence and health-related quality of life improvements, and possible accessibility to larger segments of the population."

We know that living with major depressive disorder is never easy. One of the reasons for this is that finding an effective treatment is often difficult.
Many people with depression are prescribed antidepressants that do not provide adequate symptom relief, or only help for a short time. Because symptom relief is necessary to getting the lives of those who suffer from depression back on track, it is important that we continue looking for new and better treatments for depression.
Conducting medical research through studies like this one is how doctors and drug companies like Axsome Therapeutics, Inc. learn new information about potential medications. Participation of study volunteers is an essential part of the process. Please read-on to learn more about this medical research study for adults who are currently experiencing depression and who have tried one or two antidepressants without receiving adequate symptom relief.
The Purpose of this Research Study
In this research study, we will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of an investigational drug for adults who have not adequately responded to 1 or 2 previously prescribed antidepressants.
What to Expect
This treatment resistant depression study will involve up to 10 visits to the study center over a period of about 14 weeks.
During the first visit (the "screening visit"), the study requirements as well as the potential risks of participation will be explained in detail. Those wishing to participate after this explanation will be asked to sign a written consent form. Next, various questions, tests, and examinations will be asked and given to determine eligibility to participate in the study.
All participants enrolled in this depression study will first receive an FDA-approved antidepressant for a
period of six weeks. Then, if eligible, the participants will enter a second period of 6 weeks of treatment
and either continue to receive the FDA-approved antidepressant or be switched to an investigational drug
during one of the visits of the second period.
Health Insurance and Participation Costs
Health Insurance is not required to participate.
All medical examinations and assigned study drugs are provided to qualified participants at no cost. Financial compensation may also be provided to cover time and travel expenses related to the research study.

There are few things that have taken the world by storm as the Internet has. Regardless of what you are interested in, a website exists for it. There are limitless possibilities for you if you should decide to create a website of your own. Read on for a variety of tips to assist you.
Choose the right graphic formats for your site. PNGs work much better than bitmap images, which are huge. For non-photographic graphics choose a PNG if the graphic has less than 256 colors. Otherwise, choose a GIF. When using photos, make them JPEGs.
Keep your eyes open for website creation information, you never know where you will find it. A Google search should reveal a wealth of good sites that can help.
One of the biggest mistakes a newbie designer makes is not verifying how a site looks in several different browsers. What you're seeing in one browser may not actually be what other people are seeing. So keep up with the latest browsers an test them out and check out your website on them. It's also a good idea to send your website to someone who's using another operating system in order to see if their browser and yours are compatible.
Functional websites work out for all visitors, regardless of their browser, so it's essential that your website is tested across all the major platforms. What may work great in Firefox, may not work well in Internet Explorer or Chrome. Before your website goes live, check to be sure that the pages display properly in all of the most popular browsers.
Be careful with the color combinations you use when designing your website. You have to be certain that your text will be readable on top of the background colors you use. Dark text colors on lighter backgrounds tend to be easier on the eyes than light colors on dark backgrounds. Soliciting feedback from a friend can help you determine how effective your color scheme is if you develop doubts about it.
Web Host
Check your pages for broken links. When a visitor clicks on one, they'll be frustrated. Most people choose one of the many programs or extensions available that verify working links but it can also be completed manually if you only have a few to do.
Avoid the use of pop-up advertising. There is not a person out there who will want to visit a website and get overwhelmed with pop-up ads. Many people will close a website that brings pop-ups as soon as they can, no matter what size the site is. Show some appreciation and respect for your customers, by avoiding annoying pop-ups. If your web host forces you to have pop-up ads, try to find another web host.
Creating a newsletter can help you get repeat visitors. Giving your customers the opportunity to receive promotions, updates, or other news in their inboxes can encourage them to return. Have a signup form in one of your sidebars, and document everyone that signs up. Avoid trouble by only sending the newsletter to people who have signed up for it.
Do not put pop-up windows on your site. Even though you may find a reason to have them, your visitors will find them annoying. It's likely that many of your visitors can't even see them due to browser settings, so keep them happy and stick to one window at a time.
Use some pictures on your site to make your site attractive. Those photos can give your site a lot of personality. People always like to look at interesting pictures that they have never seen before, and many times will spend hours on your site looking at them.
It's hard to go wrong with a simple color like white for the background of your website. A bright, white background makes it easier to read text; it also appears more professional. Gaudy backgrounds, by contrast, often blend in with the content, and make it appear to be hastily put together. When choosing a background for your website, a simple background is better.
Use navigation that is easy, clear, and simple to maintain. Navigation links are important for visitors to stay on your site. Never forget that your design as far as ease of navigation is the most important thing you can do to retain and build traffic.
Keep in mind that it is very important to have your website design tested on many different web browsers. Every browser is different; as a result, each can interpret your design in a slightly different way. While sometimes these differences do not make a difference, there are times when it can transform the look dramatically, or create an entirely different experience for your site visitors. You should find out the top five to ten browsers. Perform browser tests on your website, and include the mobile web browsers that are most popular.
It is a good idea to have an "About Us" page on your site. A lot of websites offer nothing of substance in this area, and some even leave this page empty. Make it a little more exciting! Give people an introduction to your own background, how you became interested in web design, your inspirations, and what your business goals are.
Don't underestimate the importance of your "About Us" page. Most websites don't have very interesting copy in this area. Try to write this content in an entertaining way. Try giving people a tiny peek into your personal background. Try showing how you got into website design, who inspired you, and what you hope to accomplish with your business.
You don't want to utilize any type of pop-up ads with your site. A big part of web design is definitely integrating PPC ads to earn a few bucks, but having ads that pop-up and obstruct your visitors' view is just annoying. It will cause people not to want to come back. Keep the ads simple since you don't need any wild pop-ups.
If you get stuck in designing your website, remember that you can always search online for some excellent examples. Look around different websites for inspiration. Find a website that you like, identify what makes that website appealing, and determine if it is an idea that you can borrow and improve upon. Remember that proper web designing is more than borrowing ideas. You should always improve anything ideas you borrow.
Get your domain name registered when you have a site idea. The reason this is a problem is that you need to be creative and the names should match your sites but others may have the same name chosen so lock them up right away. Lots of people follow this line of thinking. You would think we all read each others minds.
Make sure you sign up for things like newsletters, so that you always have saved information on different website development information. This way if you for some reason lose sight during your web designing efforts, you can get straight back into it. Newsletters are undoubtedly helpful for both beginning designers and professionals alike.
If you are building a basic website, then a site hosts design tools are fine, but it is not something you want to completely rely on. It's important to have your personality show through on your website, and the way to do this is by adding extra touches the host site doesn't offer.
Remember, designing a website does not need to be expensive. For each pricy, popular, useful website development tool, there exists one of equal usefulness that costs less. You can get the same jobs done with open-source no-cost software, for instance, that you can do with corporate-funded for-profit programs. Using this open source software may save you a lot of money.
Practice with a very basic layout to understand the basics of web design. Starting out simple and then building your skills into tackling more complex designs is a good strategy as you improve.
Keep in mind that you don't need to create the whole website alone. Lots of knowledge from different areas must be known about website creation, which includes user interface design, search engine optimization, web programming, content creation, and graphic design. Do not hesitate to call in the experts when needed. You can always hire some company or other professional who specializes in a certain area you aren't very familiar with.
Get advice from professionals; they can save you much hard work and grief. You have the potential for mastering web design in no time at all, when you employ proven techniques.
Design your website as an artist would. By this, we mean that you should always be ready to let inspiration strike you. Keep a notepad or PDA with you so you can sketch out ideas no matter where you are. Even if you're busy with something else, at your job, for example, you can preserve a new idea by calling yourself and leaving a reminder on your voice mail.
If you use the file server FileZilla, you should ensure that the quick menu options have been programmed with your site's information. That way, the next time you log back into your server, you just need to go to the menu and choose personalized settings. You will find this to be a time saver.
It can be helpful to become a CSS (cascading style sheet) expert. While knowledge of HTML is important, CSS is more important in creating professional websites. These style sheets are used as reference guides to help sites keep pages consistent in their feel and look. They were created to allow you to make edits to your entire site in one location. All it will take is altering a single line of code to change the font on every page of your site.
When deciding whether to host online videos on a website, be sure to verify the propriety with your web host. It's not uncommon for hosts to prohibit videos being uploaded to their servers. The FLV files are big and take up a lot of space on servers, so check to make sure it is allowed before wasting your efforts.
A great way to save some cash is to use free stock images on your site. You can find these images across the Internet, and some are very high quality. Use the saved money to enhance other parts of your website's design.
Ensure that the ads you put on your site are not extremely large. This can make your visitors feel very uncomfortable. Therefore, be careful about what you add; it helps lend an air of professionalism to your site.
Your website should also feature links which allow your visitors to share what they find with their friends on social networking sites. Creating a simple link will increase traffic to your website.
Create error pages that are informative. Many times someone will click onto a broken link, or a link that has been moved, and receive a generic error page that confuses them. Design error pages that show the reason the visitor has received it, including a link back to your homepage so they stay on your site.
Creating a website and imprinting and leaving your legacy for others to behold is quite simple if you understand the fundamentals of website development. Your site will be even better when your skill improves. Use these tips to get things up and running as soon as possible.
Include links on your site that makes it easy for your visitors to share the information or products that you offer on a social site. This can boost your traffic and help you get discovered easily.

• "Deck went wrong but somehow managed to fix it"
• "Borrowed Hello – alright / Speaker went up the toss"
There are those that might cynically comment that a broken record deck would be the best way to listen to Status Quo?!
Shame on those people! I wonder what was wrong with the deck and how I appear to have magically repaired it? Readers, I know you look to me for these answers, but all I do is then look over my shoulder for someone else who might be able to give me a clue!
"Hello" was Quo's sixth studio album and the Number One follow-up to (what remains) my favourite of theirs: Piledriver, which I wrote about at some length back at the beginning of this year.
I remember it, but not with the same fondness or familiarity as their previous effort, however I'll admit that the hit single "Caroline" is the worth price of admission alone. Its a rollicking Chuck Berry-esque number with a fabulous sing-along chorus…
The rest of the album was always a bit of a curate's egg to me – and remains so, just a couple of other tracks copied across to my faithful i-Pod.
"Roll Over Lay Down" chugs along at a lick too, even I have NEVER known what the hell Francis Rossi is singing about… apart from the chorus.
"Softer Ride" is the other 'must have'. I always love how it starts off as mellow as can be, then just finds its heavy self around a minute or so in. Its chorus of "I ain't gonna work no more" suggests it should become my new personal theme tune?!
The other five tracks; "Claudie", "A Reason for Living", "Blue Eyed Lady", "And It's Better Now" and the 10-minute opus "Forty-Five Hundred Times" never really did it for me.
But yes, the cover of "Hello" IS alleged to have formed the "Smell the Glove" joke in "This is Spinal Tap"… theres something about this that's so black, its like, how much more black could this be?, and the answer is….none…none…more black… actually I think there's quite few more Quo-isms in that movie if you watch it hard enough?!

Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
The transition to fatherhood has not been one that was necessarily easy. It has been filled with nothing but trial and error. I have learned there are rights and wrongs that only pertain to parenting my kids. I have found what I hope to be the successful and proper way to get my sons through the toddler years.
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start
Even before the kids were born I was so dead set on how they would be raised and how I would breeze through parenting like it was a P.E. Class where I just show up and get credit. That isn't the case at all. Parenting is amazing and fulfilling and fun. It is also the most difficult thing there is to do. You could raise thirty kids the exact same way with no idea what results you may yield.
They tell me I'm too young to understand
I guess my age is a bit off-putting to people. On the cusp of becoming a whole 24 years-old yet I try and think before I speak. I wouldn't go as far as to call myself an old-soul or mature but rather thoughtful. I have to be thoughtful, I have three kids to raise. I have to be comfortable in my own beliefs and morals or else how can I raise my kids right?
So wake me up when it's all over; When I'm wiser and I'm older
Every day passes in a blur-like quickness. Only yesterday it seems they were rolling dangerously to the edge of the bed. Now they run and scamper as I watch their little brother go side to side, working his way towards the same edge of the bed that kept me nervous for months a year and a half ago.
All this time I was finding myself
I never realized how much I needed fatherhood until I held my first borns. I needed the love, the compassion, the fulfillment this part of my life has brought me. I needed to learn that pure unequivocal love existed. The bond between parent and child. This role has made me complete, it has given my life something it lacked for years. I gained meaning.
I didn't know I was lost
Twenty-one years of my life I spent lost. Then my children came into my life. Not every day is easy, but every day of knowing this is what I was meant to be, a father, is worth it.

Test shoot w/ Lucy
February 26, 2010
So today I finally got to use my camera for what it was originally purchased for: fashion shoots!!
Lucie is an uber-lovely young girl who lives an hour away and who came so prepared I couldn't ask for more. She even did her own make up and didn't whine once during those endless attempts of making a cat-eye-line that was up to my "standards". The photoshoot went pretty well, thanks to this nice young lady. It was fun, too. Can't wait to do some more!!!!

Hunted – Russia LGBT
Shocking film reveals full horror of persecution in Russia where "gay people are hunted like animals".
A shocking new Channel 4 documentary shows how gay men in Russia are being "hunted" by vigilante gangs and beaten up because of their sexuality.
Six months after the Russian parliament unanimously passed a law to protect children from 'non-traditional' relationships, 'Hunted – Russia LGBT' explores the terror against LGBT people in this area, despite Russia officially welcoming gay athletes and spectators to the Winter Olympics.
But it's believed only 1% of gays dare to live completely openly in Russia, so this appears to be an empty gesture.
Hunted – Russia LGBT from LGBT Puerto Rico on Vimeo.
Gangs: "They operate with impunity and under the cover of the remarks [Vladimir] Putin has made suggesting that children are at risk from homosexuals"

12.Feb.2018 at 12:14 by Nic Steenhout (15 comments) via Web2 LIVE
I have to echo Scott Hardie's comment, the talk sounded a bit like an infomercial. Learned a few interesting tidbits about e-commerce and excited at the idea of being able to trace a product's origin - though I remain sceptical in view of how that's (not) working out with foodstuffs in British Columbia (but that's another story). :)
Federico had a great easy going presentation style. I do wish he'd repeated questions and comments from the audience before answering them, as many people didn't speak loudly or clearly and I missed quite a bit of what was said.
13.Feb.2018 at 11:56 by Lawrence Shea (34 comments) via Web2 LIVE
clearly a great speaker, but I have to agree it did feel more like an ad than anything
13.Feb.2018 at 13:57 by Mark Niebergall (120 comments) via Web2 LIVE
Federico has great presentation skills and has an easy-going personality. The idea of developers everywhere contributing to a global e-commerce goal sounds great, but doesn't apply to everyone and is a company goal instead of a community goal. I did not appreciate the non-workplace appropriate language that popped up a few times; a keynote talk isn't the place for that. Overall the audience was kept engaged, it was nice that it wasn't kept too long, but the objective was off. It was also hard to hear some of the questions and comments since the speaker didn't repeat them (as Nic mentioned).

LOVE THEM MORE by Ellie Israelsen (17)
This piece is a short and sweet, but I felt very impressed to write on this topic, so I hope it reaches the person that needed it.
People need love as much as they need hydration and oxygen. Love isn't just a nice thing that floats around the world for no apparent reason. It is actually vital and necessary to human growth and existence. People need to feel some sort of love and acceptance in order to grow and progress in life.
Do not abandon the struggling ones. Do not ever leave someone to drown just because they are sinking. You don't have to go down with them. You might be their only chance of safety, strength and hope.
I've noticed a pattern in people lately. Friendships are formed, people love each other genuinely and deeply. Promises are made that these bonds will never be broken, and that this friendship will never end. But then someone sees the dark parts in another. Someone makes mistakes, or does things the other doesn't agree with. Suddenly these bonds are broken, and that person is then left to drown alone. That is not friendship, or genuine love and support. That is indulging in the false hope of a perfect person.
True and genuine love is seeing all the light and dark parts of a person, and loving them anyway. It is holding someone's hand through their storm. It's not letting go and then hoping they'll come back to you once they're through it. Genuine love is watching someone break into a million pieces, even if they did it to themselves, and still loving them, helping them, and wishing the best for them.
No, it is not always easy. It's not always fair and pleasant and beautiful. It is scary. It's dark, and it's maddening. It is brutal to watch someone you love tear their own life apart. But do not walk away. They need you. They want you. They love you. Even if you can't see it or feel it anymore, they do.
So be a lighthouse, an anchor, a lifeboat. Be there. Don't leave them alone to drown. Judge less, and love more. No one ever got anywhere by judging, but think of all the people that have changed the world through love and believing in people. Never give up on the struggling ones, love them more.

Noida wins award for smart traffic management
The Union ministry of urban development on Friday awarded the best practice project in urban transport for 2015 to Noida's intelligent traffic management system (ITMS), implemented on the 24 km Noida-Greater Noida Expressway.noida Updated: Nov 28, 2015 10:45 IST
Hindustan Times
The Union ministry of urban development on Friday awarded the best practice project in urban transport for 2015 to Noida's intelligent traffic management system (ITMS), implemented on the 24 km Noida-Greater Noida Expressway.
Minister of state for urban development, Babul Supriyo, handed over the memento to Rama Raman, chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) of the Noida authority, in Delhi.
"In total, 42 cities from various states had applied for the award in the intelligent traffic management system category," said Sandip Chandra, head of the Noida authority traffic cell which implemented the system in January this year.

Managed by an Austrian agency, this system has high capacity cameras and a control room with facility to challan motorists for speeding.
"Motorists exercise more discipline while driving on the Noida Expressway as they have realised that they are being monitored with the help of e-surveillance that could issue challans," said Chandra.
According to a Noida authority report, the intelligent traffic management system (ITMS) has also brought down the number of road accidents. According to the data provided by the Noida traffic cell, a total of 54 accidents were reported on the Noida e-way in January, 48 in February, 35 in March, 38 in April, 26 in May, 27 in June and 23 in July.
The Noida authority has now decided to extend this hi-tech traffic management equipment to other roads in the city as well.
"We aim to implement the surveillance system in the city from next year for better traffic management. With the help of this technology, Noida's traffic will be managed in much better manner. Traffic congestion will be eased once this hi-tech system is implemented in other parts of the city," said Raman.
"We are also focusing on developing a better city bus service for Noida and Greater Noida very soon," said Raman.

X versus Amidakuji
Doing some random browsing of Wikipedia recently, I came across the entry on amidakuji. Yeah, I had never heard of it either. It's this Japanese way to graphically do a permutation on a set of objects.
But looking at the graphic on the page, I realized, hey, I've seen this before:
That giant robot spider you fight in Mega Man X? Its movements are completely determined by amidakuji. It's obvious that the spider follows the tracks that appear on the wall, but I had never realized it always takes the horizontal paths it encounters as it goes down.
Maybe I was too hung up on killing the baby robot spiders it drops on you to notice.
(And for the record, I totally would've put together my own screen shot and/or video instead of grabbing something off of YouTube, if not for the fact that my SNES emulator has recently fallen victim to this bug.)
Next time: more stuff I found while randomly browsing Wikipedia!

Korean Skincare Routine Step 4- Moisturizing: Benton Snail Bee High Content Lotion
Hello Everyone,
By now, you must be like layering so many products on the skin will not be comfortable but I tell you that the feeling is quite bearable and not bothersome unless you have super oily skin and there is no AC in your room. This step is quite important to me owing to my dry skin as it will provide that extra nourishment but if you have oily/combi skin feel free to skip it altogether. So, coming to the Step 4 of Korean skin care regime: Moisturization with Benton Snail Bee High Content Lotion.
Product Claims: Benton Snail Bee High Content Lotion is for all skin types including sensitive and troubled skin types. Instead of water Snail Secretion Filtrate and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water was used. This High Content Lotion uses Bee Venom, EGH, Hyaluronic Acid and various botanical natural ingredients to help improve your rough and damaged skin from various Stress and Pollution. In addition to the skin soothing cooling effect, mositursing and skin-lifting improvement, this all in one functional multi-care cosmetic has functional ingredients as Niacinamide and Adenosine which help whitening your skin and removes wrinkles
Direction for Use:
- Pour appropriate amount and rub evenly spread.
- Softly dab to enhance the absorption
Ingredients: Snail Secretion Filtrate, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Cetyl Ethyl Hexanoate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Niacinamide, Zanthoxylum Piperitum Fruit Extract, Pulsatilla Koreana Extract, Usnea Barbata (Lichen) Extract, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Squalane, Urea, Human Ogliopeptide-1, Bee Venom, Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Pentylene Glycol, Glyceryl Stearate, Stearic Acid, Cetostearyl Alcohol, Xanthan Gum, Tocopheryl Acetate, Bacillus Ferment, Azealic Acid, Alcea Rosea Root Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Panthenol, Beta-Glucan, Diospyros Kaki Leaf Extract, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Plantago Asiatica Extract, Laminaria Digitata Extract, Ulmus Campestris (Elm) Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Adenosine
Price: $14 for 150ml
Shelf Life: 24 months from the Mfg date.
Packaging: Benton Snail Bee High Content Lotion comes in a simple cardbox packaging made of recycled paper carrying details in English and Korean. The actual product is housed in a tinted brown plastic bottle and a pump dispenser secured by a see-through cap. I absolutely love the packaging, it looks so luxurious.
My experience with Benton Snail Bee High Content Lotion:
Benton Snail Bee High Content Lotion is white colored lotion with a thin consistency. It looks like any of the light moisturizers (water-based ones) you must have seen in the past but when it applies on skin it nourishes it from deep within. It is by no means a light hydrating lotion but has a good moisturizing property with the deceiving texture ;).
The moisturizer doesn't melt quickly into the skin but takes its own sweet time to get absorbed completely which is not my favorite part because it sits on top of it for good 5-10 minutes. Though I would like to mention that it never feels heavy or greasy on skin but it's just that it takes time to sink in completely.
The formula again is full of amazing natural ingredients.
Don't Miss to Checkout:
Results: The lotion does a great job in moisturising my skin without feeling heavy. It makes my skin soft, smooth and impart a healthy glow. My skin feels more supple and bouncy with this. I haven't faced any breakout or irritation.. so Yayy!! I am using it along with other products from Benton Snail Bee Range and together they have helped me with a brighter, smoother and healthy looking skin.
Recommendation: Benton Snail Bee High Content Lotion is decent moisturiser with a light texture but good nourishing formula. It doesn't feel heavy on application but takes some time to disappear into the skin and once it gets absorbed skin feels soft, smooth and bouncy. The formula again is packed with natural ingredients which will work for the betterment of your skin but there are few unwanted ones as well. I have been using this range religiously for 3-4 weeks and am yet to experience a visible difference the fine lines around my lips but I see there is tiny bit of improvement in the pores around my nose.
Rating: 3.5/5
Have you tried Benton Snail bee High Content Lotion? Which is your favorite moisturizer?
PS: Product provided by brand for consideration

The stock indexes tried to mount a rally today, but selling kept coming into each impulse up. The markets finally succumbed to the selling pressure and closed with sharp losses across the board. The root of the problem seems to be the financials. I included a chart of the XLF, which is the S&P spider financial ETF. This index has been week for some time as the Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq have held up relatively better. Now the broader indexes are playing catch-up to the downside and have taken out what looks like a double bottom forming on the price bars on the right side of the chart. There was a major divergence going on between the broader indexes and the financial sector going back for months. Of course, it is now clear in hindsight, and there was little at the time that this sector would lead the whole market lower. But there were some clues on how to time this sector that are worth reviewing.
There is a divergence between the prices grinding higher, as marked by the blue line on pricees at point #1, and the successively lower peaks on the adaptive CCI in the lower sub-graph. That last peak in prices failed to even get the CCI over the +100 line. Then to the left of point #2 you can see the regression curve being penetrated, first on only one bar, then resistance at the top of the error bands, then finally breaking the swing point just to the right of point #2. At first there was little follow through to the downside, and there were two snap back rallies up to the breakout point. Then at point #3 the last swing point was taken out. As confirmation, points #4, #5, and #6 show rejections of the zero basis line, providing good entry points for shorts. The current rejection at point #6 is setting up to possibly hook back up around the -100 line, which if happens could indicate a bounce in this index. I try to point out a possible alternative, but the trend and momentum at the moment is clearly to the downside.
There has been much damage done to all the stock indexes. A tradeable bounce is overdue, but with trends clearly down, the safest trade is from the short side for now. It does seem like the traditional October lows keep moving up in time each year. Just when everyone assumes an October low, the market will do what it can to confuse the masses. There have been years lately when September has marked a significant low and the market rallied in October, confusing the pundits. Maybe it's now being pushed up to August. Just a possibility. But I won't hipshoot on that thought. I'll await a signal from my indicators.
Gold was little changed, and nothing is being indicated on my charts at the moment.

Garlic contains proteins, potassium, vitamins, calcium, zinc and a sulphur compound allicin. There have been many studies done by the Royal College of Physicians confirming that garlic, taken in various forms, can reduce cholesterol. This could be endorsed by reading the study by Neil Silagy in the Royal College Journal.
First impressions are often deceiving when you first visit a chiropractor. They do a few fancy test and then they bring you in a room and show you a 10 minute video and show you how your spine is connected to everything in your body and if misaligned will cause you to get anything and everything from headaches to tumors and diabetes....
I will admit the price tag was high so I was reluctant but the doctor was a friend and I had not had a good night sleep in Months. so I bit the bullet and opted for 24 ....

Thor: The Dark World Nearly Included More Kick Ass Women
Last year, I advocated the use of both Thor villainous The Enchantress, and love interest Valkyrie in any potential third Thor film. I still advocate this, though unless they get rid of either Sif or Jane (neither of which should happen), they should avoid introducing a third love interest to the Thunder God's roaster. Turns out, there might have been a time when the Valkyrie's introduction came in the Dark World.
John Nizzi is a concept artist. On his deviantart page, he's revealed some more of the material he put together for Thor 2, including three images of Valkyrie (one above, and two more after the jump). Now, concept art is hardly a sign of intent, but clearly someone on the production (be it Marvel, or the director) was interested in what a MCU variant Valkyrie would look like. There wasn't an obvious place in the narrative for her, so I'm betting that if it had come to pass, it would have been an Easter egg, perhaps hidden in the opening battle sequence in Vanaheim.
Or, maybe someone at Marvel just really wanted a professional-grade illustration of a she-Thor riding a winged horse. Who knows. But with the sever lack of female heroes present in the present MCU, hopefully this is a sign that they intend on moving more in that direction. The trick is getting the character off the concept board and onto the screen.
Hit the jump for the additional images, included the winged Aragorn (which would be an... interesting element to introduce to the MCU).

"Jacksonville Among the Gayest Cities" according to The Advocate.
That's what the headline said. I read it on a local TV station's news site.
I immediately scrolled down to check out the comments. The comments from readers on the local news sites are always over the top. The moderator has wisely disabled comments on this particular story. Recently a local news channel's website did an article about a church that is accepting of gays and lesbians and the commenters went nuts. The first comment read, "God did not create Adam and Steve, he created Adam and Eve." The second comment read, "God did not create Adam and Steve, he created Adam and Eve." Then they just got mean after that.
Jacksonville didn't make the list of the 15 Gayest Cities, but we made the list of the Best of the Rest. We were a runner up, a Miss Congeniality of potential gay meccas. I am a little surprised to hear this. How did we make this list? According to The Advocate, a local high school formed a Gay/Straight alliance 6 years ago and now there are 30 members. A local church (the one mentioned in the paragraph above) has seen a significant increase in their congregation. Also, the U.S. Census recently revealed that Jacksonville has one of the largest populations of gay parents in the country. The Advocate says "Jacksonville has become the haven for gays. lesbians and like-minded folks in the Bible belt."
This is surprising news to me. The last time I lived in a gay haven was in the early 80's when I lived in San Francisco. Now THAT'S a gay haven. How surprising to wake up one morning and find out my home town has gotten all gay and haveny while I just went about my business.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
A friend was razzing me recently. She wanted to know if Barry Manilow is gay and started to ask me and then said, "Oh, why am I asking you? You're not connected." She is pretty sure my gaydar is suspect. I don't remember how she got this impression. Later, we attended an event together and afterwards I assured her that my gaydar was doing fine and proceeded to tell her that I had determined that two individuals at the event were "of my people." She was surprised, but it was clear to me. HA–I still have it.
My gaydar may be working, but I was still surprised to learn that I am living in one of the "Best of the Rest" gay cities in America. I really should pay more attention.
Since there were no comments on the TV newschannel's site, I checked out the local newspaper's website (Jacksonville.com) and found that they had not disabled the comments What do my fellow citizen's think of this turn of events? Here's one:
"Well, time to pack up I guess. Those Islamist guys out in the desert are pretty whack but gotta give em' a bit of credit on this… not gonna find too many gayest cities in Arabia. Just a thought."
Later another comment tells this guy not to let the door hit him on the ass on the way out. Several comments speculated on the sexuality of our current mayor. Then there's a guy who insists, "you don't have to be Christian to be sickened by two men kissing. Just a normal chemically balanced average ordinary male." At least he won't be putting forth the "Adam and Steve" argument.
Surprisingly, most of the comments were a tad more progressive in their approach. Perhaps there's more hope for my sleepy home town than I dared imagine.
Happy Friday!
