American Express® Business Gold Card Review: An Honest Assessment
We've updated the rates and marketing information in this review.
The American Express Business Gold comes with a striking rewards rate on certain spending categories—but it's also one of American Express's priciest business credit cards.
Generous business rewards, high annual fee
American Express® Business Gold Card
The American Express Business Gold has a generous rewards rate for small-business owners whose expense types vary from month to month.
What we love
This card offers a flexible and high rewards rate and comes with American Express's standout customer support.
- 4x points per dollar spent on the two eligible highest-spending categories each month (up to $150,000 in combined purchases from those categories in a calendar year, then 1x point per dollar)
- Excellent customer service
- No foreign-transaction fee
What we don't love
Considering this card's hefty annual fee and its limit on the 4x rewards rate, you may have better options.
- The $295 annual fee—it's quite an up-front commitment
- The ceiling on the top rewards rate (applies only to the first $150,000 in spending in the top two categories, then 1x point per dollar)
Annual Fee$295
Regular APR14.24% - 22.24% variable
Intro Bonus35,000
Recommended CreditGood to excellent
Business owners could land a decent intro bonus and some business-oriented perks, but getting the most out of your card can be a challenge.
The research
Who this card is for
Consider the American Express Business Gold card if the following sounds familiar:
- You spend a lot in one of these categories, but you never know which one you'll spend the most money on month to month.
- airfare (you must buy it directly from the airline, not from an aggregator like Expedia or Kayak)
- US gas stations
- US restaurants
- advertising purchases for certain types of media (in the US)
- US purchases made directly from certain providers of computer hardware, software, and cloud services
- US shipping purchases
- You fly for work. If you book plane tickets with your rewards points through American Express Travel, you earn 25% of those points back. Plus, the Business Gold doesn't have a foreign-transaction fee, so you can swipe worry-free on your trips abroad.
- You value customer service. American Express has highly regarded customer support available 24/7, whether you're at home or abroad.
Other cards you may like
Chase Ink Business Preferred℠ Credit Card
Our top pick for business travel has a significantly lower annual fee ($95) than that of the Business Gold. It also has a generous welcome bonus and offers 3x miles on the first $150,000 you spend on four expense categories.
The Business Platinum Card from American Express
Perhaps you already love American Express's customer service, or you're a loyal Amex customer. If you want luxury (and can handle a steep $595 annual fee—see all rates and fees), the Business Platinum Card from American Express will deliver. You get access to premier lounges in airports, sporting arenas, and even shopping malls. Also, you can call Amex's concierge service, which can help you with a myriad of tasks from booking flights to sending flowers to clients.
Why we like but don't love the Business Gold
The Business Gold card has a premium rewards rate—higher than those of most business cards out there—on a limited amount of spending.
With the Business Gold, you get 4x points per dollar (on the first $150,000 spent) on two of the following categories:
- airfare (you must buy it directly from the airline, not from an aggregator like Expedia or Kayak)
- US gas stations
- US restaurants
- advertising purchases for certain types of media (in the US)
- US purchases made directly from certain providers of computer hardware, software, and cloud services
- US shipping purchases
Keep in mind, though, that only purchases you make in the US qualify for the bonus rate. Meals you buy on business travel abroad and ads you place in international media don't earn you extra points. Although you don't lose money if you use the Business Gold abroad (there's no foreign-transaction fee), you can get better rewards on international spending with a card like the Chase Ink Business Preferred.
Unlike cards that limit their top rewards rates to one or two categories that you can change infrequently, on this card American Express automatically applies the 4x rewards to the two eligible categories where you spend the most each month. If, for example, you purchase thousands of dollars in airfare in August and ship out your products ahead of the holidays in December, you get the bonus on all of that spending without having to ask.
This arrangement is ideal for cardholders whose spending varies by month or season and who will definitely spend a lot in at least two of these six categories. All other purchases earn rewards at a paltry 1x point per dollar. Although you don't get to choose your bonus categories, a rewards structure that fluctuates with your spending ensures that you earn the maximum possible points each month.
No matter how your categories shake out, if you reach the $150,000 annual spending cap on the bonus rate, you earn 600,000 points—plus your 1x point per dollar on other purchases. You can redeem those 600,000 points alone for $6,000 in airfare (but those points have slightly less value for most other reward options).
To redeem rewards on the Business Gold card, you have to go through American Express's Membership Rewards program. You can use points toward travel expenses, gift cards, purchases at specific retailers, or statement credit applied to individual charges. You can also transfer points to other hotel and airline loyalty programs.
The value of your points depends on how you redeem them. For example, although 10,000 points gives you only $60 in statement credit, it nets you $100 toward a flight. Plus, if you use your points to buy airfare through American Express Travel, you get 25% of those points back.
The variety in redemption options means you can use your points in whatever way benefits your business. Need to travel to meet clients or attend a conference? Put your rewards toward a plane ticket. Have an Amazon shopping cart full of office supplies? Pay with your points when you check out.
If there's a downside, it's that you have to decide how to redeem your points and then actually do it. The card has no automatic cash-back option.
The Business Gold also has no preset spending limit, so if you have a big expense one month, you might be able to use your card to cover that purchase—but whether Amex lets you do so depends on factors such as how you've used the card to date, your payment history, and your credit history. This doesn't mean you can or should spend beyond your means and your ability to pay off your charges, but it may give you some flexibility to buy what you need when you need it.
This matters because a generous credit line is one of the most important characteristics for small-business cards, according to respondents in a 2018 survey from the Mercator Advisory Group.
Good customer service is another top priority for the small-business "decision makers and influencers" who answered the Mercator survey. American Express generally has well-regarded customer support—and consistently ranks better than many of its competitors.
Of course, you'll have to judge that for yourself, but we tend to agree with Amex's customer-satisfaction scores.
Where the Business Gold falls short
The Business Gold can be lucrative for the right cardholder—but even with a solid rewards rate, it's not the best option for many, or even most, people.
First, this card isn't cheap. Its $295 annual fee is higher than those of all of our picks for the best business credit cards (and most other small-biz card options), and second only to the fees of the Business Platinum and Delta Reserve Business among American Express's offerings. The lack of an annual fee is one of the top priorities for many small-business cardholders, and a characteristic we consider essential.
So when is $295 worth it?
In your first year as a cardholder, the Business Gold pays for itself, assuming you qualify for the welcome bonus. You earn 35,000 Membership Rewards (MR) points if you spend $5,000 on eligible purchases within your first three months of card membership. The Points Guys values an MR point at 2 cents so your bonus is potentially worth $700, depending on how you redeem the rewards.
After that, the card's appeal depends on how much you spend (and where you spend it).
The Business Gold's generous 4x-points-per-dollar rewards rate might seem less so if you don't spend most of your money in at least two of the six bonus categories. Let's say your largest expenses are on office supplies, but you don't travel for work or wine-and-dine clients. You earn only 1x point per dollar on the majority of your spending while your 4x bonus goes unused. In this case, you might be better off looking for a card where the rewards categories are better aligned with your expenses—or looking for a flat-rate cash-back card that, even with a lower rate overall, could earn you more across all of your purchases.
Plus, the top rewards rate applies only to your first $150,000 in annual expenses. That's a lot, but it still limits what you can earn if your business spends more.
Finally, although the Business Gold offers points back when you book flights with your rewards, it still isn't the best card for frequent flyers. The American Express Business Platinum card has all the premium travel perks, such as lounge access, a $200 airline-incidentals credit (such as for baggage fees) on a qualifying airline, and reimbursement for Global Entry or TSA Pre✓ fees worth up to $100 every four years—all for an annual fee of $595 (see the card's full rates and fees). That may seem steep, but if you fly often and make use of the benefits (including those that don't have a clear dollar value), the Platinum's 5x rewards rate on flights and prepaid hotels on American Express Travel could be well worth the higher annual fee.
The Ink Business Preferred from Chase, while not quite as luxe, is our top pick for business travel thanks to a reasonable ($95) annual fee, a 3x rewards rate on travel spending, and a bonus on points redeemed for travel through Chase Ultimate Rewards.
What it's like to have the Business Gold card
How quickly do you receive a new card if it's lost or stolen?
American Express will send a replacement card via next-day shipping for free. If you've added your Business Gold card to Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay, you can keep using it in the meantime—your card number will automatically update to match your replacement.

Does the issuer have a 24/7 number for when you're abroad?
Yes, call collect at 336-393-1111 or log in to your account to access Amex's live chat.

Yes, Amex has apps for both iOS and Android.

Can you freeze your card online?
Yes, log in to your account online or in the app to freeze or unfreeze your card.

Once again, you demonstrate how stupid you really are.
Actually, there is no need to worry about Alabama stealing O or E.
Alabama wants CLM to follow Saban as CLM has proven how well he can do with Saban's players.
To prove that unlike some of y'all, I can present things in an unbiased manner...
Despite fearing the results, i did a similar ranking with OL. Turns out LSU was third (behind Bama... ... and Michigan)! Great job Eaux, we needed help on the OL also.
FU was 4th; tenn tied for 5th; uga tied for 10th; aTm, MOOU, SCar, AU, Ark tied for 14th; OM tied for 30th.
Wait, you mean its possible to credit parts of improvement in team performance while acknowledging shortcomings in other areas? #mindblown
Thanks... I think???
ISWYDT=I see what you did there, FYI.
LSU probably losing a DT:
I guess it's better than losing a DE...
Line depth -1.
Gotta drop something like 8 players go get below 85...

In 1989, Norwegian manufacturer BeSafe developed their first rear facing child car seat. Ever since, their goal has been to make rear facing car seats just as comfortable as forward facing ones were seen as, but to give children the extra safety on top. BeSafe has gathered lots of experience and insights and has been improving their products continuously.
An all-time favourite and repeated test winner
In 2013, BeSafe launched a rear facing seat that quickly became popular across many countries – the iZi Plus. This all-time favourite is truly optimized for rear facing safety up to an age of approx. 5 years and it fits into many cars, as it does not require ISOfix.
Several test institutes have confirmed both the comfort and safety levels of the iZi Plus: not only did it pass the world's toughest crash test, the Swedish Plus Test, but it also became test winner at "auto, motor und sport" and Folksam (Swedish insurance institute) and won at bäst-i-test.se 4 years in a row.
Upgraded features for extra safety and even more comfort
This year, BeSafe has added two new features to the seat and launched the iZi Plus X1 as an upgraded version of the rear facing champion.
The iZi Plus X1 is equipped with a new and improved version of the additional side impact protection (SIP+), which is an additional safety feature that's placed on the side of the child car seat that's facing the door. By reducing the distance between the seat and the door – thus shortening the movement in a side impact – and acting like a car's crumble zone, this smart safety feature absorbs up to an additional 20% of the forces in the event of a side impact.
The newest generation of BeSafe's body hugger provides stability and support especially for smaller children thanks to smart foam placements and a snug fit. Three built in recline positions can be adjusted after installation and offer flexibility. Combined with a high sitting position in the car, which offers children a great view, these features make journeys extra comfortable and more entertaining.
Extra longevity to feature rear facing safety for the smallest to the tallest toddler
As this seat is installed with the 3-point vehicle belt, it is approved for children up to 25 kg. This allows children to travel rear facing up to an age of approx. 5 years. A handful of functions and features, like the body hugger, it's partially hovering installation method, adjustable leg space and an adjustable headrest, have been implemented to allow the seat to grow with the child from small to tall toddler and to deliver great comfort at safety at any time.

The vital nature responds to life through instinct, reaction, and the pull of desire and push of aversion. The mental nature is of another kind, and it attempts to understand life through a process encompassing observation, organisation and sorting of perceptions and information, analysis and testing, and then using the knowledge so gained to attempt to act upon life successfully. To the extent that it fails in the attempt it must obviously fine tune its observations, its conclusions or its determinative action. The mind begins with its focus on the physical and vital life, but it is not restricted to them, and thus, it has its own native action in the world of ideas, as well as the capability of turning its focus higher to the spiritual basis of life. Imagination, intuition, and speculation all fall into the action of the mind either within its native province or when turned to the higher action.
Sri Aurobindo observes: "But reason seeks to understand and interpret life by one kind of symbol only, the idea; it generalises the facts of life according to its own strongly cut ideative conceptions so that it may be able to master and arrange them, and having hold of an idea it looks for its largest general application. And in order that these ideas may not be a mere abstraction divorced from the realised or realisable truth of things, it has to be constantly comparing them with facts. It has to be always questioning facts so that it may find the ideas by which they can be more and more adequately explained, ordered and managed, and it has always to be questioning ideas in order, first, to see whether they square with actual facts and, secondly, whether there are not new facts to suit which they must be modified or enlarged or which can be evolved out of them. For reason lives not only in actual facts, but in possibilities, not only in realised truths, but in ideal truths; and the ideal truth once seen, the impulse of the idealising intelligence is to see too whether it cannot be turned into a fact, cannot be immediately or rapidly realised in life. It is by this inherent characteristic that the age of reason must always be an age of progress."
Sri Aurobindo, The Human Cycle: The Psychology of Social Development, Chapter 19, The Curve of the Rational Age, pp. 194-195

The first few days and weeks after a baby is born can be a heady, dreamlike experience for their parents, combining euphoria with sleep deprivation! This is a very important time of life to record as your baby is changing daily and it pays to use a professional photographer in our South Fremantle studio.
Newborns usually have a fairly regular three or four hour cycle of sleeping, playing and feeding, and your shoot can potentially take advantage of one or all of these parts of the cycle – don't worry if your newborn is hungry or tired when he arrives at our studio, we are experienced newborn photographers!
We have taken beautiful photographs of newborns being fed – either from bottle or breast – this is a moment of unparalleled intimacy and can lead to incredible images. Likewise, there are few things more wonderful than a sleeping newborn, as any new parent can attest!
An important decision for parents to make is whether they wish to have skin shots – photographs where one or both parents appear to be fully or partly topless, so that there is direct skin contact with baby. At Cooper Studio we really love the intimacy of shots like these, but also understand that not everyone will want them. We'll discuss this with you before the shoot and respect your wishes, of course.
We also understand that at this stage of life it can be quite a task just to get out of the house. Our Fremantle studio is equipped for comfort, including air conditioning, private areas, microwave and change mat! You have the option to view your photos almost straight away, so that only one trip to the studio is needed, rather than two.

The Squirrel and the Fox DT Challenge #73 Ribbon AND Lace
Our Challenge this time at The Squirrel and the Fox is to use Ribbon AND Lace not one or the other but BOTH! it's an excuse to make something girly and pretty!
Our sponsor is the wonderful Robyn's Fetish and the DT were lucky enough to be given some gorgeous digi stamps to work with!
This fabulous image is Christie Angel. I think she has a cute 'folk art' vibe so I made a 'folksy' card. I coloured her with Promarkers and then cut her out and popped her onto foam pads. The yellow mat is cut with a Spellbinders Lacey Square die, and the quilt paper is cut with a plain square die.
The bright papers are snippets from my stash, but I forgot to note where they came from. Sorry! The ribbon is from Hobbycraft and the white broderie anglaise lace is from my sewing basket!
The sentiment is embossed in blue and covered with Glossy Accents, it is by Inkadinkado from the Vintage Expressions sentiment set. The little wooden stars are from stash and have been edged with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
Fly over to The Squirrel and the Fox and see the lovely inspiration that the DT has produced for you, and join in! But remember, the Challenge is for Ribbon AND Lace!
Thanks for looking, and enjoy your day!
love Mags B x

High technology nowadays has enabled industries to manufacture high quality products. Among these are the cutting machine tools. These cuttings tools are made with precision and endurance in mind. Investors are certain that any workforce properly equipped with cutting machine tools has a highly enhanced working efficiency.
There are many cutting machine models to choose from. Each has it own particular cutting function depending on the materials to be cut. Due to rising industrial risks, most of these machines are now operator-friendly. To provide the right equipment for your home business or industrial use, you must consider the following factors: the price, training for operators, maintenance costs, working space, the product warranty of the supplier and most importantly, the product certifications. The product certification gives you the assurance that these pieces of equipment have passed rigorous tests on international quality standards.
Metal cutting models. These are heavy duty machines designed to cut thick metal. Commonly, these machines are equipped with carbide-tipped rotary saws. In welding shops, there are punches, cut-off equipment, shearing tools and large band saws. These machines are mostly easy to prepare and operate since they have minimal cleaning after the cutting process. They can cut customized keys and metal dies. These can cut a wide variety of metals. During the cutting process, the metal is not heated. Fluid coolants are applied to prevent overheat. However, metal cutting machines are dangerous if not properly used. Some models are Turret Press WKC3000, Hydraulic Notching MF-QX28Y, Burt M45-MDS250S, Burt M40-MCB115, Alltrade Kawasaki Saw, Makita 4131, Milwaukee 6320-22.
Laser-beam cutting models. Many industries have harnessed laser technology for high precision cutting and engraving. These machines can cut cloth, wood blocks, marble, rubber goods, glass, and other nonmetal materials. Such machines have built-in computer systems to work with instructions encoded into them. The operator provides user-defined graphics done in Coreldraw and AutoCAD and the digital control panel assures the correct path of the laser beam, while greatly reducing human intervention. The latest laser engraving and cutting machine models are equipped with control working tables for ease of use. However, the disadvantages of laser technology are the maintenance costs and the need for highly trained personnel. Laser-type models widely used in Europe and North America are MultiCam CNC Laser 2000 Series and TH-LWS300 Laser.
Fine plastic, cloth and leather cutting models. These cutting machines apply to cloth, plastics, leather and embroidery fabrics. Like the laser-beam category above, these machines utilize the laser processing technology but on lighter materials only. Due to light materials, they are capable of cutting almost anything nonmetal and light. They have faster curvilinear function, cutting curves fast and consecutively. They also support a wider amount of graphical software including Tajima, Gerber, Coreldraw, AutoCAD, Adobe and many others. These machines are ideal for customize engraving. High precision models include Dongguan CMA-1910T, and Jinan Redsail c300.
Cutting machine models differ in speed and endurance. You might have to consider the availability of these products in your local hardware store. It is noticeable that American or European models are quite impressive in power and efficiency, but you might have to consider the affordability of Asian-made models. Whichever model you will use, always remember: safety first.

"The age of bargaining, said Burke,
Has come: to-day the turbaned Turk
(Sleep, Richard of the lion heart!
Sleep on, nor from your cerements start),
Is England's friend and fast ally;
The Moslem tramples on the Greek,
And on the Cross and altar-stone,
And Christendom looks tamely on,
And hears the Christian maiden shriek,
And sees the Christian father die;
And not a sabre-blow is given
For Greece and fame, for faith and heaven,
By Europe's craven chivalry.

hooray! Manning is not going to Frisco! This means we can keep Smith and actually be good next year!
So apparently it's Fighting Day in the NHL. Well, Sunday was. I seriously haven't seen violence that severe in hockey ever before.
YOu're happy Vancouver dropped? I'm mad that LA went on. You do have one thing right though: screw New York. But Chicago? Chicago's going on. They'd better. Two of my teams are already out (San Jose and Pittsburgh), so I've only got two teams left (Chicago and Boston).EDIT: better hope harder on that New York elimination thing. Ottawa needs to start playing better.EDIT2: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUOkay, the exact opposite of what I wanted to happen, happened. F you refs for your continued "vigilance" in this series, F you Torres for trading a not so great player for the best player and making the sport look bad, and F you Smith for being as lucky as you are. Seriously freaking lucky.

Saturday 21st November 1987
Tries: Bob Lindner, John Fafita, David Plange
Goals: David Roockley 2
Wigan took the lead after just 8 minutes when a half
break from Andy Goodway was finished by Kevin Iro for 6-0. Goodway later
repeated the move but this time he didn't need to pass to Iro and went
himself for 12-0. Then right on half time good work from Andy Gregory saw
good support from Shaun Wane to finish under the sticks for 18-0. All looked
great for easy progression but Wigan wobbled after the interval with
Castleford fighting back. Tries from Bob Lindner and John Fafita brought Cas
back to 18-10 by the 51st Minute but Lindner ended up being sin binned for
taking out Gregory and that halted their charge. Stephenson kicked a penalty
for 20-10 and soon after Shaun Edwards finished under the posts for 26-10
and although Cas found another try through David Plange, that sin bin
ultimately proved very costly too them.

Sister Helen Sorich, known also as Sister John Christine, was born on September 26, 1921, in Preko, Yugoslavia. She was the second of five children born to John and Christina Sorich. Preko was also the birthplace of her parents. It is one of several small settlements on a Croatian island that makes up the Zadar Archipelago along the Dalmatian Coastline.
Two years after she was born, Sister Helen and her older sister, Elizabeth, traveled with their mother to the U.S. to join their father, who had found work and a home for them in Chicago. In her autobiography, she wrote:
In 1923 my mom, my older sister Elizabeth, who was four years old, and I, age two, left this land for America. We traveled to the United States on the Martha Washington for twenty-three days. When we landed on Ellis Island, my mom must have shown extreme bewilderment because my dad wasn't there to meet us. As luck, or fate, would have it, a gentleman, who was on the same ship, came over and asked my mom where she was headed. When she told him Chicago, he proceeded to take us to the train headed for Chicago. What a thrilling moment it must have been for Pa and Ma and us to be re-united here in the U.S.A. What brave people our parents were to venture on to a new land.
My dad had a job in a sausage factory and we lived in the flat above the factory. It was there that another sister, Therese, and my two brothers, Nick and Tony, were born. We attended Nativity School where we received our elementary education from the Sisters of St. Joseph.
As for mom, she was always there for us. She was always there usually in the kitchen. I can't imagine what I would have ever done, if she didn't respond. Many is the time we hurried home in order to get the crust of her homemade bread with a bit of sugar sprinkled over it.
When I was in the seventh grade, my Pa suffered a cerebral hemorrhage in July 1935 and died. As I watched and observed the grief of my mom at the loss of her husband and our father, I realized how our God supplies His lasting love, strength, and courage. My mom exemplified that valiant woman who through this great loss raised her children.

Sister Anne Marie Snyder was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on February 25, 1923. She was one of nine children born to Frank and Mary (Sadar) Snyder.
Sister Anne's father was born in Slovenia, in Yugoslavia. When he was an infant, his mother died and he was brought to the United States by his godmother. Sister Anne's mother was born in Cleveland and had three sisters. Her oldest sister entered our Congregation and was known as Sister Regina Clare Sadar. Her younger sister entered the St. Joseph Sisters in Euclid, Ohio, and was known as Sister Ann Joseph.

Sister Michele Kopp, born on October 8, 1940, in Flasher, North Dakota, was one of five children born to Bert and Angela (Gustin) Kopp. Her two brothers are Marvin and Stephen. Her two sisters, Theodora and Antoinette, are deceased. Both of her parents were born in North Dakota: her father in Raleigh and her mother in Flasher.
How does a North Dakotan link up with the Edmonds Dominicans in that state of Washington? Sister Michele gave the following explanation.
I'm a "transplant" from North Dakota to Washington's Olympic Peninsula where I first met our Dominican Sisters as a second grader. This relationship continued as I attended Holy Angels Academy in Seattle as a boarder.
After graduating from Holy Angels Academy in June 1958, Sister Michele entered the Edmonds postulate in September at the age of seventeen. Following first profession two years later on June 14, 1961, she studied at Providence Heights College for two years and then finished her undergraduate studies the next year at Seattle University, where she received her Bachelor of Arts degree.

Sister Joan Mary Dwyer was born in Detroit on April 1, 1938, to Clifford and Vivian (Adkins) Dwyer. Her father was Catholic, but not her mother. Two weeks after she was born, Joan developed pneumonia and received an emergency baptism and the name Joan Patricia. She was formally baptized before her First Communion on March 23, 1947.
In her autobiography, Sister Joan said that her parents divorced and remarried and that she was the oldest of four brothers and three sisters.

It was another fantastic Deadly Ink. I sat on two panels–the first, "Pros Vs. Amateurs", covered the difference between using a professional (cop, PI, etc.) as a protagonist versus an amateur. It was moderated by Jane Cleland, who did an absolutely fantastic job. The other panelists were Sheila York, R.G. Belsky, Annette Dashofy and
After that, the second panel was "Get Your Facts Straight," about the importance of research. The moderate was Roberta Rogow, and she did a great job keeping what could potentially be a dry topic very lively and entertaining. Kim Kash discussed her wonderfully loopy Ocean City series, and S.A. Solomon talked about how getting credentialed with a number of different forensic and investigative certifications helps give her deeply disturbing, psychological fiction its particularly creepy bite. KB Ingles and Roberta Rogow gave the biggest boost to the research process, because their historical mysteries (and Roberta's sideline as a Sci-Fi writer) literally live or die on the quality of research.
On a personal note, I was gratified when the couple running the book room told me that there was a run on my books after the two panels–I was apparently their best-seller for the day, and I was thrilled to meet so many new readers and fans. It was the first time I have sold out of books at an event, and I sincerely hope it's not the last.

GLOSSette here!!! If you know me I tend to like to try out products right when I buy then so I can review em for ya`ll. This time around that was not the case but hey I still go around to it so cut me some slack. I bought the NYC palette (prolly almost a year ago) when it first same out and I found out about it from a Youtube guru Camil by the username misszxcee.
Originally there were only 3 quads. One for brown eyes (Union Square), one for blue eyes (Bryant Park), and one for green eyes (Central Park). Now they also have 3 other quads for the same eye colors but in the smokey edition.
I guess they were so popular at the time that my drugstore ran out of the brown and blue eyes quads that I ended up getting the green eyes ones. Honestly, any palette that is said to enhance eye color and make them pop… I mean its true but doesn't mean you can't use the other colors. The green quad looked like colors I generally used anyways (neutrally ones) so I didn't think it was weird to pick it up. And for 5 bucks which included a primer and an illuminator (I knew I wouldn't use it cuz I am oily skin).
It comes in quite a boxy quad. It is not as thin like other quads and trios from the drugstore but unless you are toting it around then it shouldn't matter. It is also lightweight so if you do wanna tote it around it won't make your makeup bag heavy. When you open it, it comes with a plastic top which labels each shadow for what it is used for (starting from the bottom shade) hightlighter, all over the lid, crease/contour, crease/contour. On the side there are primer (peachy skin tone color) and illuminator (shimmery white) which are both labeled as well. You obviously don't have to use the shades for what it's meant for.
When I first swatched the shadows with my finger I didn't feel it being silky like a lot of good pigmented eyeshadows (some of which you can find at drugstores of even ELF). Since it was not silky to touch it did not swatch very pigmented at all. The darker shades are obviously more pigmented since they are darker in general. You can see in the swatches that the lighter two shades hardly show up. The sample swatches I've done (shown below) are swatched with a brush with the "primer" underneath it.
The shadows crease horribly when you use it with the given primer. AND the colors don't stay put all day. I tried it with other trustworthy base/primer and the shadows creased less (still creased) and the pigmentation wore off throughout the day. My lids crease more so than others… I have Asian eyes with double lids (not mono lids) and the crease closest to the inner corners of my eyes crease A LOT!!. You may not have a creasing problem if you use a good primer and if you don't tend to crease often. Whatever you do don't use the given primer. I have not tested out the illuminator since I have oily skin. It could be used as a brow highlight or a cheek highlight. Creasing will not be an issue but I doubt there is any lasting power to those babies.
I don't understand how the primer and highlight shades work. They're the same colors for all the palettes. Primer especially, not everyone is that skintone. What about those with darker skin tones? It would work if they provided a white base cuz the would be versatile for all skintones and would also make the colors pop.
Overall, if you want a palette that can do EVERYTHING for your eyes (think about it… comes with primer and illuminator) and for 5 bucks yes considering lots of eyeshadows in drugstore have upped the price. But honestly you can find other eyeshadows that are better quality, crease less and last longer for an affordable price.
Verdit: 1/ 5 (the rating would be higher but the fact that I don't use this palette anymore it was a waste of 5 bucks but great review for ya'll)

Among the sweet pictures is also photo of a love-struck Britney gazing at Justin while he plays the piano and one of Justin sitting on Britney's lap as they celebrate Christmas together.Basically, we dug these photos out of a time capsule with the sole purpose of tugging at your heartstrings and making you really, really miss when Britney and Justin were pop music's golden couple.The hot new video shows Spears getting out of a classic car in a red furry coat and red cocktail dress and making her way into a steamy party. Then, there are shots of Spears tossing a shoe and getting cozy with Tinashe in lacy lingerie.Spears is also seen crawling on a table and licking milk off his place as her hot co-star watches her."Actually I'm not looking for men right now, I'm really happy with myself. Ever since the pop princess premiered her new music video for "Slumber Party," fans have been wanting to know more about her hot co-star.She captioned the post, "Happy New Year," with several celebratory emojis.Meanwhile, Spears and Asghari have been causing quite a bit of speculation around their rumored romance since September.
I've learned that there's nothing a woman likes more than a confident man, not too cocky, just a very humble gentleman.
She later dated Charlie Ebersol for eight months until their split last summer. She's also seen wearing a navy blue cardigan with a very short multi-colored skirt.
Spears, of course, was married to her backup dancer Kevin Federline from 2004 to 2007. The photo of Spears leaves very little to the imagination.
After many questioning fans, the rumours were confirmed in March this year when Britney posted a birthday post for him, captioned "My Baby's Birthday".
Sam was later seen in Britney and Tinashe's music video for their track 'Slumber Party'.

Welcome to the Somata Massage blog! (For my website, click here)
I'm so technically unsavvy that my 18 year old daughter is walking me through setting this up…but that's okay, because I'm so excited to be doing this! I'm bound and determined to talk about massage and everything it can do for a person.
First off a little about myself. My name is Kitty, and I am a massage therapist in Lakewood, Colorado that specializes in structural integration, which means that I'm all about POSTURE! I've even infected my kids with the posture bug so they actually notice when someone is walking around with a locked up sacrum or hyperkyphosis in their upper back. In fact, just yesterday, my 16 year old said,"He's got a weird gait," referring to a teenager that was walking on the sidewalk. Oh well.
My goal is to infect you with the posture bug too, mostly when you're looking at yourself in a storefront window, or sitting in a bucket seat and you notice that you are not in balance, and maybe you even feel a little tweak in your back, or maybe a big shooting pain in your neck, or sciatica in your butt…you get the idea.
I'm also into nutrition, herbs, essential oils, natural movement, the barefoot movement and, well, anything else that rocks my world. So, as I post blogs, I hope you will get something out of them and comment on them so we can exchange information. I love that–exchanging information with real people.
So thanks for being here.

Tyler Perry just can't seem to quit his signature Madea character, even though the franchise's fortunes have dwindled in recent years. And so it is that Boo! A Madea Halloween hits multiplexes next weekend.
This is the ninth (yes, ninth) pic to feature the tough talking granny and sixth to bear her name. Let's take a look at the numbers for the previous four. 2009's Madea Goes to Jail was the high mark with a $41 million opening and $90M overall domestic haul. Both 2011's Madea's Big Happy Family and 2012's Madea's Witness Protection made $25 million out of the gate and then grossed $53M and $65M, respectively. Yet it slowed down a bit with the last one – 2013's holiday themed A Madea Christmas, which earned $16 million for its roll out and ended with $52M.
The three year lay-off of Madea sightings could hinder this one a bit more and continue the downward trend. After all, if a Christmas pic featuring the character under performed, this likely doesn't bode well for Halloween Madea. I'll say low double digits to low teens is all Boo! manages to scare up.
Boo! A Madea Halloween opening weekend prediction: $12.5 million

Discovery of SMART-1 impact site on high resolution Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter images. The field is 50 metres wide (north is up). SMART-1 touched down from north to south at a grazing speed of 2 kilometres per second. This image, with west illumination, clearly shows a linear gouge of 15 metres length in the surface.
Credit: P Stooke/B Foing et al 2017/ NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University
The final resting place of Europe's first moon orbiter has been found at long last.
Astronomer Phil Stooke, of Western University in Ontario, discovered the 65-foot-long (20 meters) scar gouged into the lunar surface by the SMART-1 spacecraft when its controllers brought it down intentionally in September 2006.
Stooke spotted the mark in images captured by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). Its location sell withexpected site of the spacecraft's grave, he said. [The Greatest Moon Crashes of All Time]
"Orbit tracking and the impact flash gave a good estimate of the impact location," Stooke said in a statement.
"Very close to that point was a very unusual small feature," added Stooke, who presented the discovery at the European Planetary Science Congress (EPSC) 2017 in Riga, Latvia, on Friday (Sept. 22).
A weak fan of lunar material ejected during the impact flanks the furrow made by the 630-lb. (287 kilograms) spacecraft, Stooke said. He added that SMART-1's landing site resembles that of NASA's Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer, which crashed into the farside of the moon in April 2014, as well as those of NASA's twin Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory probes, which hit the lunar surface in December 2012.
"The high-resolution LRO images show white ejecta, about 7 meters [23 feet] across, from the first contact," Bernard Foing, SMART-1 project scientist at the European Space Agency (ESA), said in the same statement. "We can make out three faint but distinct ejecta streams from the impact, about 40 meters [131 feet] long and separated by 20-degree angles."
SMART-1 created the gouge, located at 34.262 degrees south latitude and 46.193 degrees west longitude, as it crashed into the lunar surface at 4,500 mph (7,240 km/h), according to Foing.
The Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, one of the observatories located near the 13,802-foot-high (4,207 m) summit of Hawaii's volcano Mauna Kea, observed the impact of SMART-1 in 2006. However, as there were no other spacecraft in lunar orbit at the time, astronomers were unable to determine its exact location for more than 10 years, Foing said. [Latest Moon Photos from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter]
"The next steps will be to send a robotic investigator to examine the remains of the SMART-1 spacecraft body and 'wings' of the solar arrays," Foing said.
Mark Burchell, a professor of space science at the University of Kent in England, who performed laboratory impact experiments and simulated the SMART-1 grazing impact conditions, said, "It is exciting to see for the first time the real scars from the SMART-1 impact, and compare them to the models and laboratory simulations."
ESA launched SMART-1 — whose name is short for "Small Missions for Advanced Research in Technology-1" — in September 2003. The satellite, designed and built by Swedish Space Corp., searched for evidence of ice in the craters of the moon's south pole and tested some innovative technologies for deep-space exploration, including solar-electric propulsion.

ADO.NET Entity Framework: What It Is and What It Could Be
A talk by Sven Aelterman at Atlanta Code Camp 2009
About the Talk
March 14, 2009 4:00 AM
Atlanta, GAAtlanta, GA
This session's intent is not to advertise the ADO.NET Entity Framework as a must-have tool today. Rather, the session will give you a balanced view of what is currently possible with EF and what is unfortunately lacking. Through the use of code examples, EF will be evaluated for use multi-tier application development. When you leave the session, you will have the information you need to decide when or whether to use EF and how you can follow up on the future of EF.

Sonnet: Don't Stop Me Now
By DS Coremans
"Don't stop me now. I'm having a good time."
For me the perfect line on which to end.
Just one more post and I will press send
No sleep for this tired poet, what a crime;
That is the poet's pay, pennies and dimes.
Through this I've found new literary friends
In this case means have justified the end;
Euphoric adrenaline, feel sublime.
I almost want to just keep on going,
But twenty-four hours of white screen glare
Has left me with a few signs now showing,
The coffee tremble and a glaicit' stare.
I'm not sure when I'll stop speaking in rhyme,
Don't stop me now! I'm having a good time.
Poem 24 of 24, written for the 24hr 'Poetry Marathon' by DS Coremans
This poem was inspired by the song, 'Don't Stop Me Now' by Queen.

Videomessage by Koenders to MPs in action for maternal health
Ladies and gentlemen,
I'm very glad to be able to welcome you all here to the heart of Dutch democracy. This is a familiar and much-loved environment for me. I worked here for ten years as an MP, and for ten years before that as a parliamentary assistant for the Labour Party.
I'm very sorry that I can't be there personally to host this meeting. But I know you're in good hands with the Ambassador for MDGs. As you watch this video, I'm in the eastern part of Congo which is one of the parts of the world where we're furthest away from attaining MDG 5, especially now. I'm glad that I can speak to you by video to underscore the importance of your role in making up for lost time in reaching MDG 5.
I noticed as an MP – I was Chair of the Board of the Parliamentary Network on the World Bank and President of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly – how important international parliamentary networks are. Working together internationally, parliamentarians can achieve things that they could never manage at national level. This conference is giving a fresh, focused boost to your efforts to bring about change.
My compliments to the conference organisers: the Dutch House of Representatives, the World Health Organisation and the Inter-Parliamentary Union. The highest praise is due to the driving force behind this initiative, Ms Chantal Gill'ard, MP. If everyone works as hard to attain MDG 5 as Chantal does, we will get on track in no time!
MDG 5 is one of my policy priorities. Hardly any progress has been made towards this goal in the past 20 years. How can this be, when great steps forward have been made in other areas, towards attaining other MDGs? And when we know how to prevent most maternal mortality? Even less prosperous countries have managed this. Nations like Honduras, Sri Lanka and Chile have demonstrated that the political will to invest in women and mothers pays human dividends. In these countries maternal mortality has fallen spectacularly in ten to fifteen years – thanks to political will and cooperation. Not only women but also their families, communities and countries have benefited.
MDG 5 concerns sexual and reproductive health and rights, the essential rights of every human being. For many people, including many governments and parliaments, it is a sensitive and thorny issue. It is up to us to break the silence. We cannot allow so many women to die simply because sexual and reproductive health and rights are surrounded by taboos.
I try to bring this issue up in my work, particularly when I travel, most recently in Yemen. During my last visit to Nicaragua, I expressed my concern in my talks with the president and foreign minister about the changes for the worse in Nicaraguan abortion laws.
In these times of financial crisis, it is increasingly important to stress the economic dimension of MDG 5 and safe pregnancies. To put it crudely: maternal mortality is bad for the economy. It costs the world 15 billion dollars in lost productivity each year. Another aspect is that high population growth often wipes out economic growth. A population that grows less quickly puts less of a burden on natural resources, and allows economic growth to be spread less thinly. In Tunisia, for example, where population growth is 1.1%, economic development is progressing more rapidly than in the neighbouring countries.
Studies show that many women in developing countries would gladly opt for family planning if they had the chance. In Ethiopia, for instance, 35% of women say they would. A recent World Bank publication reveals that if all women in the world with an unmet need for contraception, had access to contraception, maternal mortality would fall by between 25 and 35%. So with investments in quality family planning programmes, a reduction of this magnitude would be within our grasp.
The Netherlands is investing in this goal, for example by earmarking five million euros for production and distribution of female condoms. I have also increased our contribution to the UN Global Programme on Reproductive Health Commodity Security from 5 million euros a year to 30 million euros a year.
But of course the Netherlands can't attain MDG 5 on its own! It's up to all of us to take the steps that are needed to make this possible.
You MPs make the decisions by which laws are adopted and budgets allocated. And you monitor the implementation of policy. I hope this conference will inspire you to carry on with your crucial work as parliamentarians.
We will be continuing our efforts next year – you at the Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union in Addis Ababa, while I will be at the IPCI/ICPD meeting in Cairo in October. I will continue to draw the world's attention to MDG 5, for example by organising a one-day International High Level Meeting on MDG 5 before the Cairo gathering.
I call on you all to endeavour in your own countries to make progress towards MDG 5. Parliamentarians as representatives of the people can make the real difference!
Thank you.

A driver faces stunt driving charges after allegedly blowing through a radar at 133 km/h in a posted 60 km/h zone in Mississauga Thursday, say Peel Regional Police.
It happened on Winston Churchill Blvd., north of Steeles Ave., around 10 a.m. The driver faces a seven-day driver suspension and the impounding of the car and if convicted, the motorist must pay fines between $2,000 to $10,000.
"Slow down, it's not just you on the road," said Const. Bally Saini. "Try to share the road, drive according to the speed."
Police did not identify the driver.
Saini said this incident follows another stunt driving incident on Dec. 21 around 9 p.m. during a snowstorm.
In that case, a man was charged with stunt driving and his vehicle was seized for allegedly travelling 134 km/h in a 60 km/h zone on Hurontario St., just south of Britannia Rd. in Mississauga.

The resolution that a microscope is capable of achieving is probably the single most important factor that determines the quality of a microscopic image. Without a sufficiently high resolution, magnification is not possible without loss of quality. There are a variety of different factors that determine the achievable resolution. Some of these factors can not be actively influenced by the microscopist, others can. Some of the factors play a larger role, others a smaller one. In the following post, I want to summarize some of these factors.
Category: Techniques
Here I explain the handling of the microscope and different methods to enhance contrast.
How to obtain the best resolution with your microscope
Cover glass thickness and resolution
The thickness of the cover glass can have a significant impact on the resolution.
The effect of the mounting medium on specimen and image quality
The mounting medium can have a significant effect both on the image quality and on the specimen itself.
Köhler illumination to reduce reflections
Köhler illumination reduces stray light and therefore increases contrast when taking pictures.
How to make microscope filters
In this post I'd like to show you a method of making patch stop and color filters using a printer.
Bacteria in phase contrast
Phase Contrast microscopy makes specimens of low contrast appear with greater contrast.
Digitizing photographic slides with a digital camera
There are different ways of digitizing analog slides.
Potato Stach Grains
Here I would like to show you two images of potato starch grains taken with different optical contrasting methods.
Drawing Microscopic Images
Drawing is still a useful method for documenting microscopic specimens, despite advances in (digital) imaging technologies. There are certain advantages in drawings that photographs do not possess.
Enhancing Photomicrographs
Image editing software can be useful to enhance the contrast of photomicrographs. This article presents a short overview of possible adjustments.

I have bought the locally sold outdoor dundun many times and I've always enjoyed it. The only challenge is that it's only sold in the evening where I stay. I wanted it in the morning this day, so I thought of DIY (Do It Yourself). Yeah! Then I had to factor in my love for pepper… I really love the spice pepper gives food; fresh pepper… hmmn…
Dundun alata is a really simple and fast to make… And will be just perfect as a snack or as a meal with sauce. You want to try out your own; really!
Let's get cooking!
Ingredients 4 Servings
- Yam chipped 1/2 tuber
- Red Pepper Grounded as desired
Step 1
Peel yam and chip into desired shape.
Step 2
Add pepper and salt to taste.
Step 3
Heat up oil in pan to medium heat for 3 minutes. Then fry chips.
Step 4
Put them on a kitchen towel; this will absorb any excess oil.
Step 5
Eat as much as you want. It's so lovely…
Ps: I tried to make some in the oven instead of frying; it was as lovely, and with the joy of healthy cooking! This was how I served mine…

Episode 18 - Why Asap Rocky, Donald Trump, and Coming to America 2 are all related
July 25, 2019 @ 11:03 pm
In this episode we talk about Asap Rocky's criminal case in Sweden, and how Donald Trump is attempting to get him a smooth release and transfer back to the states. Speaking of Trump, we also talk about the reaction Donald Trump received from our local area of where we record our podcast in Eastern North Carolina.
We then talk about the expectations of the new Coming to America 2 sequel, and if Kim Kardashian's role of helping prisoners get early parole really a big deal.
Finally we get into a debate whether or not its ok for a 13 year old to own a gun, and is it time for pagers to make a comeback since people text more than they talk on the phone these days?

Australian actress and television personality Victoria Nicolls has joined the cast of a new production of Menopause The Musical witch heads to Wests Leagues Club in New Lambton on Wednesday the 8th of November.
Nicolls is arguably best knowns for her time of Australian TV game show Sale of the Century as a hostess from 1980 to 1982. In our recent phone interview she told us that once she left TV she decided to focus on rasing a new family.
"I had kids for me, and I wanted to be there to enjoy it" She told us.
"I've had offers to join theatre casts over the years, but I wanted to focus on raising my family and travelling around the country with a production isn't conducive to to that".
Menopause The Musical – Women on Fire is set around four women with seemingly nothing in common but a black lace bra on sale, come to find they have more to share than ever imagined. The cast makes fun of their woeful hot flashes, forgetfulness, mood swings, wrinkles, night sweats and chocolate binges. A sisterhood is created between these diverse women as they realise that Menopause is no longer "the silent passage".
"Look, I'm going to be having so much fun with these shows. It's a great script and there's something in it for everyone no matter the stage of life they find themselves in. Women will relate to it and men can learn something from it… All while having a laugh" she chuckles.

Clooney and Bullock Lost in Space in Terrifying First GRAVITY Teaser
Around the Internet
Looks good. What is the piece of music at the beginning? I feel like I've heard so many times before, but I can't remember what it is or where I've heard it.
It's Arvo Part's Spiegel im Spiegel, beautiful piece.
Spiegel Im Spiegel by Arvo Pärt
Cuaron? Sold!
Thanks, guys! After googling it I realized that the reason I've heard it so much is because I've watched Gerry about 10 times.
I love Cuaron, and I love this concept. I just hope Bullock is equal to the material (I have serious doubts).
I also have doubts concerning Bullock, but by the looks of the trailer all she has to do in the movie is sound desperate and whinny so she should be good to go. hah!
I dont know how that could keep me interested for 190minutes or more. I assume once everything is done exploding it is going to suck. Open Water in space.
"Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity has been a long time coming and today we finally get a glimpse of the film through its first teaser."
Cuarón has always been visually gifted, and this looks very nice.
Hoping that Cuarón has a story tell also, thanks for the teaser Mr Conran.

HUBBARD LAKE, Mich. — A group of survivors of a plane crash that killed 15 military personnel in Alpena have gathered at the site with loved ones to mark the 40th anniversary of the tragedy.
The Alpena News reports that John R. Harrison, Fred Anderson, Cliff Call, Dwaine Crane and Dale Solon survived the crash Sept. 26, 1976. Their memorial Monday took place where the KC-135 tanker they were aboard went down on the way to Wurthsmith Air Force Base in Oscoda.
The participants recited the names of those who died and tolled a bell for each of them at 8:26 a.m., the time the crash occurred.
Julie Warren-Cook, who lost a husband that day, and Vi Smithwick, whose son died in the tragedy, also attended the memorial.

Forbidden Kill Strikes
Asian martial arts made their European debut near the close of the 19th century. In the 1890s, several Japanese teamed up with self-promoter and showman E.W. Barton-Wright to teach Jujutsu in England. For Barton-Wright, this was more an exercise in money-making than in teaching a martial art - but it wasn't long before Jujutsu and Judo came to stay for real. The first European Jujutsu instructor opened a school in Austria in 1904. By the 1930s, Judo had students across Europe. Even the Hitler Youth trained in Judo; the Nazis saw it as a masculine sport, worthy of future warriors.
Sport fencing, boxing, and wrestling remained popular, too. Most people saw these activities as excellent training in fitness, proper conduct, and gentlemanly behavior - and as suitable competition between nations. Boxing in particular surged in popularity as the Marquess of Queensbury rules removed some of its stigma without dulling its brutal edge.
During World War II, commandos trained in military martial arts. They needed skills to eliminate sentries and to fight using improvised weapons - or no weapons - when the ammunition ran out or circumstances made firearms undesirable. The knife, in particular, was popular.
After WWII, Asian martial arts continued to flourish. European judoka helped make Judo a competitive Olympic sport, and influenced its rules. Meanwhile, other Asian arts -such as Karate (pp. 169-172), and Pentjak Silat (pp. 189-191) brought back from Indonesia by the Dutch - became more popular. The French kickboxing style of Savate (pp. 193-194), its practitioners decimated by the World Wars, became more sportive in form.
In the late 20th century, two developments exerted a major influence on European martial arts. The first was an increase in academic interest in the martial arts of medieval and Renaissance Europe, accompanied by the appearance of hobbyists who wished to replicate those arts. The second was the rapid spread of mixed martial arts (p. 189). Today's Europe is a cultural swirl of martial arts, with traditional armed and unarmed European arts, Asian imports, and the increasingly popular mixed martial arts among its mosaic of styles.

Devoted as I am to popularizing amateur boxing and to improving the caliber of this particularly desirable competitive sport, I am highly enthusiastic over John Walsh's boxing instruction book. No one in the United States today can equal John's record as an amateur boxer and a coach. He is highly regarded as a sportsman. Before turning to coaching and the practice of law John was one of the most successful college and Golden Gloves boxers the sport has ever known.

When you book your first appointment online you will be asked to complete a comprehensive intake form. The acupuncture intake form asks questions about your current state of health, past illnesses, and family history. These questions are important because the holistic approach of Oriental medicine takes everything into account. Your current symptoms may not seem related to past health issues, but our bodies are complex landscapes and everything that happens to them leaves its mark.
After reviewing your intake form, we will discuss your condition, and I will examine your pulse and tongue, which are two of the basic diagnostic methods of Oriental medicine. The acupuncture points I choose will depend on your condition, but you can expect approximately 20 needles or less. Once the needles are inserted, you will be left to lie comfortably for 15-20 minutes with the needles in place and in some cases longer depending on the treatment. Many people find acupuncture treatment deeply relaxing, and it is not uncommon for patients to fall asleep during this time.
Initial visits usually take about one and a half to two hours to complete. Follow-up treatments are usually take about one hour in length but could go longer if needed. Please make sure you wear comfortable clothing and have a small snack about thirty minutes or so before your appointment. Please do not brush or scrape your tongue the day of your appointment. If possible pleae do not apply any lotions unless prescribed by your Doctor.

Aberdeen gym doubles membership ahead of reopening after £350,000 revamp
An Aberdeen sports centre doubled its membership before it had even reopened after a £350,000 refurbishment.
Sheddocksley Sports Centre was officially due to open its doors today after undergoing an overhaul.
Sport Aberdeen, which runs the facility, has introduced a 60-unit fitness studio, a dedicated training room and a group exercise studio.
Managing director of the charitable organisation Alistair Robertson said staff were delighted to show off the new centre, Get active@ Sheddocksley, following the facelift.
Work was also undertaken to revamp the reception of the centre, as well as major landscaping work and lighting to its exterior.
A mural designed by Kekun Studio will also adorn the outside of the facility.
Alistair said: "We wanted to show the community what we have done to the centre.
"There has been a facelift to the exterior of the building which we hope will entice people in so they can see what we have going on.
"What we have done is replace a facility that was decrepit and past its sell-by date. The refurbishment means the centre is now fully modernised. It was an important project for us and we wanted to listen to the local community on what they would like to see at the centre."
A special official opening ceremony with council and Sport Aberdeen officials in attendance took place today.
Alistair added: "The staff we have working in there are fantastic. We have dedicated advisers and we can help the local community with the sport and physical activity. We have staff at the facility available so if anyone is referred to us, maybe for something like physiotherapy, we can help them."

Before reopening, around 600 people had signed up to the new-look centre. Alistair said: "We had around 300 people who, when they signed up, would have classed the Sheddocksley centre as their home venue.
"When we were keeping people updated via social media, there was a lot of buzz around the new centre and the facility it would be.
"We had 600 people sign up to it before it reopened, which for us was fantastic. People signed up at the centre and while they are able to use any Sport Aberdeen facility, we find the one they sign up for is the one they will use the most. We've had people in the last couple of weeks and the feedback is that people are really pleased.
"This refurbishment was a big project for us and worthwhile, as it helps secure the long-term future of the facility and helps the health and well-being of the local area."
