Education Advocate and Nonprofit Leader Tanya Ramos Appointed CEO of Pencils of Promise
New York, NY, February 5, 2018: Pencils of Promise (PoP) announced today the appointment of non-profit leader and education advocate Tanya Ramos as Chief Executive Officer, effective February 12, 2018. Building on PoP's most successful year of growth to date, Tanya will lead PoP into its next season of achieving its mission to bring quality education to every child.
Over the past two decades, Tanya has devoted her career to improving educational opportunities and life outcomes for young people in the most low-resourced communities. With a track record of growing organizations in key leadership roles at Education Pioneers and The Children's Aid Society, she has served as a tireless advocate for educational equity.
"I'm honored to be appointed CEO of Pencils of Promise and continue their life-changing work for children globally," said Ramos. "Working together with our dedicated global team, board and donors, I know we can uphold the promise of quality education for every child."
"PoP was looking for a powerful leader with the experience to build on our record of digital education innovation, deepen programmatic impact and expand our powerful work reaching over 75,000 children globally," said Meighan Stone, Executive Chairwoman of PoP. "We know in Tanya, we have found the right leader to take our mission forward."
Founded in 2008, PoP is for-purpose organization dedicated to increasing access to quality education for children in the developing world. PoP works with communities Laos, Nicaragua, Guatemala and Ghana to build schools, train teachers and create digital learning programs.
Prior to joining Pencils of Promise, Tanya was the Chief Regional Officer at Education Pioneers, an organization devoted to increasing the talent supply of top leaders in education. She previously served as Executive Director of Literacy Inc. and as Senior Manager of Strategic Corporate Partnerships at The Taproot Foundation, in addition to key leadership roles at ASPIRA and the Children's Aid Society. Tanya has been honored with the Annie E. Casey Foundation Award for exemplary work in underserved communities and received her Master of Science in Urban Policy and Management from New School University.
"This milestone year is an exciting point in PoP's journey as we approach our 10th Anniversary," said Adam Braun, PoP founder and emeritus member of PoP's Board of Directors. "Tanya is an exceptional leader with incredible experience growing teams and scaling impact. As we look to break ground on our 500th school and reach close to 100,000 students next year, we know Tanya's vision will help PoP realize the potential of even more children globally."

In the age of gadgets and gizmos the lines between product categories are blurring. Earlier there used to be Smartphones and then there came tablets and now the war is on in the "phablet" space. Asus has begun innovation in a different direction of media integration with a product (Asus PadFone) that combines as much as three different media platforms.
The first media platform is a Smartphone created by Asus as part of this product with 4.7" touch screen and Android Ice-cream Sandwich 4.0 OS. The screen is bright and clear with metal accents adding plush feel to the device. Games, graphics, movies and images definitely appear great on the super AMOLED touchscreen. This PadFone has all the right ingredients to put up a fight with industry leaders like Apple and Samsung.
The power to process efficiently is derived by PadFone from its 1.5 Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon Dual-Core processor. The phone is equipped with tools to boot up faster in case you want it to be. The score got by this phone in Quadrant Standard Benchmarking Test is a total of 5013 points that is higher than what has been scored by HTC One X and Asus Transformer Prime.
PadFone Station:
The Padfone Station may feel to some people as inspired from the cassette players of the past. The process for connecting phone with the dock is simple and just requires a push for docking in. The ports that connect PadFone with the Pad are quite steady and hold no such risk of phone popping out unannounced in case of movements.
One negative for this never before integration of media platforms is that if you lose or damage you PadFone then both the Tablet and Keyboard is useless. Price is India of this gadget is Rs. 64999/-

Eldest agreed. We set out the eggs to bring to room temperature and once they were ready, we began. She did most of the work.
Because of the recent move, I cannot always remember exactly where I put things when I unpacked them. I do not have a popover pan and I could not find my large 12-muffin muffin tin. So, we improvised with minis.
I'd not made popovers before; they turned out quite tasty, even with substitutions, and Li'l Bit ate several of them.
We were limited in what we could make because I have not found all of my baking supplies since our move. I had to go digging in boxes to look for the xanthan gum. I was thrilled to find it and then we had all the ingredients for popovers. (I have yet to find the vanilla flavoring.)
And we found the large muffin tin when we were finished.
Gluten-Free on a Shoestring is a 257-page paperback that gives readers 125 gluten-free "Easy Recipes for Eating Well on the Cheap". There is a small photo section in the center of the book. Amazon has it priced under $11 at the moment. (a bargain!)
I wanted to make at minimum a couple more recipes before I post the review, and I seem to never have all of the ingredients I need or everything that sounds good has a milk ingredient that I cannot use (sour cream, cream cheese) or substitute (we have a soy issue, too). So, no, it's not allergen free, although the majority of the recipes are adaptable.
Another wrinkle: Lately, temps have been too hot to bake. I don't want to turn on the oven if I don't have to.
I want to make the toaster pastry recipe. Graham crackers. The chocolate wafer cookie. Chocolate chip brownies. Pizza crusts. I wonder if I use coconut kefir or yogurt in place of the half-cup of sour cream, would the Devil's Food Cake turn out right in my new oreo cookie cake pan that I found on clearance? I have quite a list of recipes to try, and at this point, they're not going to happen until the school-building-school kids go back to school in August. Then, my homeschooler and I will begin baking together in a bigger way again.
This is not just a baking cookbook. Hunn gives us veggies and main dishes in addition to breads and desserts. She gives readers quite a lot of "how-to" as she begins the book, which is informative to newbies and oldies alike.
I've enjoyed reading the cookbook. I'm ready to get my act together and cook from it in a big way.

In the Meantime Money -Contemporary Courtship
I was raised in a household with my mother and father. My parents were married for 20 years before they called it quits. They conceived 3 children.. all girls. One of the things my father instilled in me the idea of courtship.
Now don't get me wrong. My father is far from traditional. However, he believed you can court a woman regardless of your economic status. In fact he always said, "Your heart doesn't know status and circumstances. " On his first date with my mother, they had pizza and brew. That may not seem exciting but he must have done something right! Obviously my mother doesn't have much to say about it now. She once disclosed how much she laughed during that date and how comfortable she felt.
I have a former associate who makes a six figure salary. At the time he was in his early twenties. He drove a Mercedes. He lived with parents so no money spent on rent. No student loans. No major debt. During a conversation about contemporary courtship he said he takes his first dates to McDonald's. You can view that as frugal but his defense was based on his desire to test the genuineness of his prospective partner. There would be no second date if you had a problem with McDonald's and you couldn't just be happy with his company.
In this economic climate most men do not have what I like to call "In the Meantime Money." Gas is 4.05 a gallon! He can't afford to spend hundreds of dollars on a woman he may have absolutely nothing in common with! Ladies shouldn't either. Wear modest clothing, do your own hair, drive your own car and meet him at the agreed venue. Trust your personality to be the impressive part of the date. Meet at a library so you can subtly see if he can read! If you like to work out, get him a guest pass at your gym. He/she is probably allergic to the cologne or perfume you were going to wear anyway. This is the time to be yourself! If things progress, you'll have to take off the bells and whistles at some point anyway.
Finally, let's be honest. Some of you only want to be wined and dined because it will make you feel better about entering the bedroom. Dropping your draws for dinners or dollas does not prove you're a lady! Restraint does. You're not fooling anyone…especially him. You can be labeled for any reason. You might as well try listening to your heart and following your intuition with discretion and maturity.
Save your "In the Meantime Money" and tell the cashier ShutYaMouthAndCallMeUgly said to supersize it! 🙂
Chest Naked In The Park (Part 1)
She woke up in a sweat. Reached around feeling for the phone. She found it in the crevice of the couch still attached to the charger. No missed calls. Four text messages:
"Hey Beautiful." (from some guy she met on an internet dating site 3 months prior. She stopped returning his text messages 2 months and 3 weeks ago but it never inhibited his persistence.)
"The balance in your Chase checking account is 32.48." (An automated update she gets every time her account is used.)
"Do you want me to bring you a plate of food for tomorrow?" (A caring co-worker who always looks out for her.)
"Guess you forgot about me." (An old flame that died out before it was lit.)
Nothing from him. Unable to hide her disappointment, she threw the phone across the room.
"WTF? Either I am too quick to assume the worst…or the worst has happened."
She pondered while the oscillating fan blew hot air over her. She watched it move right to left. Left to right. "What could have changed in a couple of hours?"
NOTHING. But since when did anything have to go wrong for a man to decide that you are no longer his number one pick? The truth of the matter was Tamara was a pretty girl, smart, and ambitious but she changed her men as often as her oil changes. Some men were changed by choice and some by circumstance. There was the minister AKA the "Freak and the Gentleman" who was obviously confused about his chosen path in life. One minute he was discussing politics, being chivalrous, and preaching against pre-marital sex. The next minute he was playing in her hair with one hand, holding the bible in the other, while trying to get her titty into his mouth. (What a multi-tasker!) Tamara dated everyone from the investment bankers, to the personal trainers, the broke college student, and even the "but baby my back is against the wall" unemployed ex-convicts. A firm believer that your prince is sometimes disguised as a frog, she never judged. Her father told her as a child, "Your heart doesn't know status or circumstance." Daddy was wrong.
Travis was supposed to be different. He was brilliant, handsome, confident, and attentive. All the qualities that she loved to love. He had his flaws and she was prepared to accept and love those too. Realistically, Tamara was panicking prematurely. It had only been a few hours since she heard from him, but for them, that was a long time! She shook herself out of it. Why was she always so anxious? She was in a constant state of waiting for the ball to drop. She was always waiting for the rug to be pulled out from under her.
She decided to go to her favorite park and run around the track since she was already sweating. No use in sitting there babysitting her phone … or destroying it.
When she got to the track, she looked at her cell once more. NOTHING. She decided to leave a voicemail. One of her close male friends always told her never to assume anything. What if he was in an accident or he lost his phone? She left a KISS message (KISS = Keep It Simple Stupid) just plainly stating the obvious: "Hey. Just giving you a call."
Then it happened. She leaned back in the seat and she wept. She didn't cry because of him. She cried because of the disappointment that she was so accustomed to. She was so angry. What was she doing wrong? Maybe she should act like a complete b*tch, men seemed to like that. Finally she came to the conclusion that she was overreacting and she needed to get outside and distract herself. As soon as she tied her car key to her shoelace, put her cell phone in the glove compartment, stuck her ipod in her bra, and opened the driver side door…..BOOM!
The sky broke and it began to pour. Tamara shook her head and laughed. "With a day like this, its gonna be a hell of a night", she quoted Young Jeezy. She looked on as people started exiting the track, trying to avoid getting soaked in the rain.
All except one man.
He kept running. He was one of those men who just looked effortless while working out. Easy pace. Steady rhythm. Chest Naked, his skin glistened while he ran in sync with the rain drops. His skin was an exclusive shade of brown. It was as if God made it just for him. It was a beautiful sight to see. A high school anatomy class could have studied him, every muscle in the human body, could be seen. "Yummy. Who is this chest naked man running in the park?"

Cryptocurrencies Lose Billions In Value After An Exchange Is Hacked
Coinrail isn't a huge exchange – the value of the lost currency is believed to be around $40 million. But the hack added to existing uncertainties in the virtual currency market, and after Coinrail reported losing about 30 percent of its reserves in the attack, bitcoin's price plummeted.
As of midday Monday, bitcoin was down more than 7 percent, to around $6,700, according to the Coinbase exchange. That's a drop of more than 60 percent since bitcoin's all-time high of nearly $20,000, which it reached last December.
Even with the recent sharp slip, bitcoin has gained more than 130 percent in value since June 11 of 2017.
Another popular cryptocurrency, ethereum, also fell, contributing to a loss of well over $40 billion in virtual currencies' overall value from Saturday to Monday, the Coinmarketcap.com website reports. That represents a drop in market capitalization from $340 billion to around $291 billion, according to the site.
Analysts say other factors are also involved in the cryptocurrencies' current fall, including a lack of high trading volume.
"The demand from investors had notably declined," Crypto Coins News reports.
In addition to broader security worries, as Bloomberg News reports, there are also concerns about China's attempts to control how virtual currencies work – and over crackdowns on fraud and money laundering in both China and South Korea.
Of the holdings stolen from Coinrail, the exchange says two-thirds are covered by freezing or recalling them – and that the remaining third is being investigated by police and industry experts. The stolen coins that are now frozen were in the NPXS, NPER and ATX currencies, it said.
To protect its other assets, Coinrail said, it moved them to a "cold wallet" that isn't connected to the Internet.

Asked what it meant for him to "think with the church," a phrase used by the Jesuit founder St. Ignatius, Francis said,
"This church with which we should be thinking is the home of all, not a small chapel that can hold only a small group of selected people. We must not reduce the bosom of the universal church to a nest protecting our mediocrity" (blogger's emphasis).

Weird interactions between Scala interpolated strings and language injections (feature request) Follow
Scala 2.10 introduced interpolated strings, which the Scala plugin (0.22.302) supports nicely.
But if you try to mix them with language injections, like SQL, it mostly works, but the highlighting won't take into account '$' characters escaped by writing them twice.
A more practical example:
/* language=SQL */ s""" SELECT post$$id, liked FROM post_like WHERE user$$id = ? AND post$$id = ? """
The SQL injection parser now complains that 'post$$id' and 'user$$id' are unknown columns, but they were actually meant to be 'post$id' and 'user$id' instead.
It would be nice if the Scala plugin properly 'translated' the string before 'sending it off' to the language injection.

The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) recently released a draft report that outlines planned mapping changes associated with the Coastal Barrier Resources System (CBRS). The draft report to the US Congress includes recommendations for a new digital mapping system for CBRS units and "Otherwise Protected Areas" (OPAs) around the country, and also makes notable changes to the existing boundaries of CBRS units and OPAs. These changes are especially significant for Emerald Isle. The USFWS has proposed the creation of a new CBRS unit that encompasses all of Bogue Inlet and all of Bogue Sound west of the Emerald Isle bridge. The creation of this new CBRS unit, if approved by the US Congress next year, would prohibit future Federal funding for certain dredging activities in Bogue Inlet, associated beach nourishment, the replacement or expansion of the Emerald Isle bridge, or public access improvements along Bogue Sound or Bogue Inlet. The creation of this new CBRS unit could also prohibit the Town from dredging in Bogue Inlet for beach nourishment and inlet stabilization purposes even if no Federal funding is involved. At this point, we don't believe that any private property owners in Emerald Isle will be adversely impacted by the creation of the new CBRS unit, however, there is some fear that flood insurance could be denied to certain vacant soundfront properties west of the Emerald Isle bridge. The Board of Commissioners has approved a letter to the USFWS outlining the Town's concerns and has expressly requested that the proposed new CBRS unit not be created. The USFWS will be considering the Town's comments over the coming months before releasing a revised report and presenting its recommendations to the US Congress next year. The Town continues to monitor this issue closely.
Tentatively Planned to Begin in Late 2009
The Town's engineers, Withers & Ravenel, have nearly completed the design for the Town's new bicycle path extension along NC 58. The new bicycle path will extend the existing bicycle path from its terminus at Black Skimmer Drive (mile marker 19 on NC 58) to the east as far as funds permit, up to a maximum distance of 4 miles.
The Town had hoped to begin construction in August or September, however, construction has been delayed and will not begin until November or December 2009. The Town's goal will be to finish the bicycle path extension prior to Easter weekend 2010.
The new path will be a 10 ft wide dedicated asphalt bicycle path constructed along the south side of NC 58. The entire path will be located within existing NC 58 right of way and will not be located on private property. Any disturbance to private property during construction will be minimal, and will be restored by the Town's contractors to an acceptable condition.
If you'd like to view the plans, please contact Alesia Sanderson, Parks and Recreation Director (email@example.com or 252-354-6350) or Town Manager Frank Rush (firstname.lastname@example.com or 252-354-3424) and we'll be happy to share them with you.
The Point continues to evolve, and unfortunately we are currently experiencing oceanfront erosion in the area immediately east of The Point again. The current situation appears nearly identical to the erosion experienced in 2007 that subsequently corrected itself in 2008. The oceanfront erosion is believed to be associated with the continuing on-shore migration of offshore shoals that are forcing a marginal flood channel against the island. This erosion is cause for concern, but is not as bad as was experienced in 2007. The new episode of oceanfront erosion has begun further west than in 2007, affecting fewer homes, and the recently eroded area has already begun experiencing accretion again. The Town expects this accretion, which occurred in 2008 after the last episode, to restore this area again in the near future. Additionally, the Town is scheduled to receive dredge spoils from the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway dredging in November and December, and this sand will help to expedite recovery. The main navigation (ebb) channel in Bogue Inlet remains far from Emerald Isle, roughly in the same location as dredged by the Town in 2005. The current oceanfront erosion is far less severe and far more manageable than previous concerns at The Point, but is frustrating nonetheless. The Town continues to monitor the situation closely and looks forward to expected recovery and additional sand placement later this year.
Effective August 17, 2009 The new Town Administration Building is nearing completion and will open for business on Monday, August 17. Individuals interested in doing business with the Mayor, Commissioners, Town Manager, Finance Office, Tax Office, and Town Clerk, as well as general inquiries of Town government, should visit the new building as of August 17. The new building is located on NC 58, directly west of Emerald Isle Realty, and directly across NC 58 (Emerald Drive) from the Town government complex. Parking is available on the west side of the new building.
Town staff and our contractors, Simmons & Simmons Management and Waste Industries, work hard to remove solid waste in a timely and cost-effective manner to insure that Emerald Isle maintains a neat and attractive appearance.
Please adhere to the following regulations regarding solid waste storage and collection:
Please note that State law prohibits the placement of plastic and aluminum in landfills, thus requiring recycling of these items. Please help to do your part by recycling these items!
Thank you for your cooperation!
The Town invests a great deal of resources to keep the beach strand and other public areas as clean as possible. We try as hard as we can to keep the Town looking good, but we need your help! Please don't litter! Trash on the beach is unsightly, can present health hazards for young children, and can harm the wildlife on our beach and in our waters. Please use our conveniently located trash receptacles, and when possible, please recycle! If you are a smoker, please don't leave your cigarette butts on the beach strand. Cigarette butts are nearly impossible to clean up in any efficient manner, and are among the most unsightly and harmful forms of litter. Thanks for your cooperation!

An Age of Change for Offshore Money Market Funds
Institutional cash investors haven't had much time to worry about offshore money market funds over the past several years as they've been too busy grappling with all the recent changes to US-based institutional funds. But new developments are making offshore funds more difficult to ignore, especially those involving the implementation of MMF reforms in Europe and the new US tax law requiring repatriation of overseas cash. While the European institutional MMF market is less than a third the size of the $2.7-trillion US market, both often share a common set of debt issuers and many US-based treasury organizations have foreign subsidiaries with investments in offshore funds. The new rules impact all these interconnected global investments and will create a new environment which demands attention from cash managers responsible for meeting the liquidity needs of global organizations.
Our May research report, Offshore Money Market Funds in an Age of Change, highlights important new dynamics that cash investors need to be aware of. Like the recent US MMF reforms, new European Union rules in 2018 will limit the ability of institutional money market funds to maintain a fixed net asset value. As we saw in the US, we may soon see an exodus of liquidity investments from offshore prime funds to government funds with fixed values but lower yields. At the same time, US tax reforms requiring repatriation of offshore earnings have cash investors puzzling over their short- and long-term investment strategies. Will the new rules prompt rapid reductions in offshore MMF balances? Or, will "trapped cash" invested in separate portfolios of corporate, Treasury and asset-backed bonds be used to pay down tax and debt obligations instead? Institutional cash investors will need answers to these questions, and more, to make the best choices going forward.
In short, the new rules have created multiple crosscurrents of conflicting incentives. By explaining the new dynamics of offshore institutional money market funds, our full report provides a useful guide for cash managers who need to maintain liquidity with an appropriate balance of domestic and offshore investments.
Best Regards,
Ben Campbell

In order to make its banking transactions more secure, the Bangalore Division of South Western Railways has floated tenders inviting nationalised banks to provide door-step banking services at railway stations.
Senior Divisional Commercial Manager N Ramesh said, "We are spending around `2 lakh every month to remit money safely to the banks. With the permission of the Railway Board, we had invited tenders in accordance with the Reserve Bank of India guidelines. State Bank of India has offered to provide door-step banking at Bangalore and a few other stations, but Axis Bank has come forward to provide services throughout the division. We might award the tender to one of these banks in the near future."
Ramesh said the bank which came forward to provide banking services would collect the money remitted by 144 booking units, including the 108 railway stations in the division. The bank would have the liberty of keeping the money for two days before remitting it to the railways account, he said.
The railways had engaged three vans and employed six security personnel from the Railway Protection Force, six staff members from railways accounts department and drivers to transport the cash, he said.
Ramesh said some more banking services could be included into door-step banking for the benefit of the passengers in future.

AN audio expert presented by Environment Secretary Michael Defensor at a press conference this morning belittled the three-hour "Hello, Garci" tapes that former National Bureau of Investigation deputy director Samuel Ong had bought from T/Sgt Vidal Doble of the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
Jim Sarthou said the tapes could not be the original or master copy because, he pointed out, these contained annotations.
"He (Sarthou) doesn't know what he's talking about," an ISAFP operative told PCIJ today.
In the world of local intelligence, the "master tape" is the version that has been purged of "basura (garbage)" or irrelevant information and annotated by the agent who did the wiretapping.
Conversations that remain in the "master tape" are continuous. "Hindi inii-splice (No splicing is done)," the source said.
The ISAFP operative said this is the common procedure followed in most agencies engaged in intelligence work, identifying some of these as the Presidential Security Group, National Bureau of Intelligence, the Defense Intelligence Security Group and the Philippine National Police Intelligence Group.
According the intelligence operative, Doble's unit — the Military Intelligence Group 21 or MIG21 — wiretapped then elections commissioner Virgilio Garcillano on orders of the ISAFP top brass who, in turn, had received their orders from the Palace. "No agent moves on his or her own in matters like this without an official order," he said.
At the MIG21, the wiretapped conversations are recorded on audio cassette tapes by two to three agents working round the clock. The practice is to record everything, include inane conversations, even those about trips to the market.
The agent on duty is required to make notes, particularly the exact time the calls are received or made and, if possible, the parties who are on the phone. "This information is material when you later match the conversations to events that are happening on the ground," the ISAFP operative said.
"ASAP" assignments include the one on Garcillano. "Tinapay na mainit yan (That's hot bread)," he said.
This means that once the conversations fill one tape, the agent on duty removes it from the recording device and immediately starts preparing what would later become the "master tape."
"We call that 'minamaster,'" the operative sad.
The raw conversations on the first tape are then poised to be transferred to another. "That's how crude and low-tech the ISAFP still is in doing electronic surveillance," the source said ruefully.
At this stage, the agent cleans up the tape by removing irrelevant or nonessential items such as the conversation on the trip to the market. While several conversations do get purged, those that remain in what would be the master tape are " buo (whole)."
The agent also retains the ringing tone for incoming phones and the dialing sound for outgoing calls. The latter is important because it helps the intelligence body decode the telephone numbers, the ISAFP operative said.
The agent then annotates the tape, taking great care to time-stamp the conversations.
The source also stressed that conversations in the master tape follow the original chronological sequence.
Conversations recorded in one day could be annotated by several agents because these could take up several tapes, he added.
The ISAFP operative said that access to the room where the wiretapping is being done is restricted only to agents on duty. "We call that the exclusion area. If you're not on duty, you can't go in," he says.
But for those permitted to enter, security is not as tight as most people think it is. Tapes are stored either in boxes or cabinets, with agents on duty having easy access to these. "We're not a department store; nobody checks bags," he said. "Everybody trusts each other. Parang pamilya (We're like a family)."
That explains how easy it was for Doble to retrieve the tapes.
Things, of course, have changed since the "Hello, Garci" tapes were leaked.

On top of the plethora of documentaries that have already been made on the subject of global warming, we can now add actor-turned-director Fisher Stevens' Before the Flood. As is so often the case, the film is built around an investigation into the effects that global warming has had on our planet and the (largely man-made) causes of this tremendously destructive happening. The crucial difference? Where the other films were stacked with nothing but experts, with a possible cameo from a celebrity who passionately believes in fighting against global warming, this one is centered on Leonardo DiCaprio, who gamely plays the part of guinea pig for a bunch of experts to explain what exactly is going on with Earth.
Our very own Adam Chitwood caught the film at Toronto International Film Festival and had mostly glowing words about Stevens' film. With the release of the first trailer for the documentary, which you can take a look at below, one gets a better sense of the film outside of the realm of a political passion project for arguably the biggest actor in the entire world. This doesn't feel like Brad Pitts' cameo in 12 Years a Slave, though. What can be seen from the trailer is fascination and concern, which are two key components to any decent non-fiction movie these days.
Before the Flood will debut in theaters on October 21st and will then play on National Geographic starting on October 30th.

Many people ask what the connection between drugs and society is. It is a common argument of the regular users of such drugs that the personal consumption by them has no link between the society and its development. But many studies and case reports have proved that the way in which the people in the society thinks and behave determines the pace of development in that society. As far as the e cigarettes are concerned this is one of the most modern invention in the drugs which is so convenient and easy for the user to carry and consume.
The dreadful effects of such cigarettes are high on the young people, growing children and also the pregnant women. The content of nicotine is the major reason why many of the people find it hard to stop the habit of smoking. Thus the addictive nature of nicotine requires them to continue in smoking which make many people addicts even after the first time use. The brain development of the children in the womb to the college students are adversely affected by the use of e cigarettes. Thus the way in which they respond to the personal life and also the social life have been changed a lot.
The chemical contained in the e cigarette is the next reason why most of the people get easily weak after the regular use. The commitment that the young people have towards all the social conditions around them is being getting decreased due to many reasons. This includes the inability to concentrate of things. They are not getting the concentration as well as integrity to contribute to the development of the society. All what they do is focus to be the consumption of such drugs and wasting time abundantly.
The impact on the society due to the over consumption of e cigarettes is again dreadful when the users are tempting to increase the amount of time of consumption. We know that the drug addict can easily be converted to get extended to the other types of drugs. This is how the alcoholics and irresponsible group puff citizens are coated in the countries. When the general awareness is lost for the regular users of such drugs they become ignorant about the things happening around them. This can also lead to other major problems which is quite irresistible in nature for both users as well as the society people.
The e cigarettes are easily available even for the school, students so that they can use it for an experimental purpose. Later the experimental use is extended to regular use so that they themselves find it hard to retrieve them from the use of such drugs in future. This is why the strict regulations about the consumption of drugs like e cigarettes by the school students are prohibited by many governments across the world.
The impact of consumption of e cigarettes and the societal development is so connected since the users can deviate from their responsibilities and do not contribute to the progress.

Let me show you how to get rid of pimples naturally there are some things you can do to get rid of pimples, that do not require you buying a lot of different medicated pimple creams and treatments.
It can be very confusing knowing what type of treatment is best suited to your skin, and you can end up spending a lot of money on treatment that does not really work.
There are some natural remedies that can help get rid of pimples that do not cost you a lot of money. It is amazing how much money is spent on over the counter acne and pimple relief creams and scrubs.
It is even more expensive when you are treated by a dermatologist and buy prescribed treatments. Thus natural remedies are definitely worth trying. If they do not cure your pimples completely, they are often useful in Themes lessening the outbreak.
A key factor in natural pimple control is your diet. A good, healthy diet that includes lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as plenty of water, will do wonders for your skin.
You excrete a lot of toxins via your skin, so if you are eating a lot of junk food some of that toxic waste will be excreted through your pores and your sweat.
Some of the worst foods you can eat, especially if you already have a lot of excess oil, are fatty or oily foods. It is an over-abundance of oil that actually clogs up the pores in your skin, which then become infected with acne-producing bacteria. Thus, it is really important to watch what you eat, and to actually work at trying to improve your diet by eating healthy foods.
If you are not sure what constitutes a healthy diet, then consider that the more natural the foods are that you eat, the better they are for you. That is why fresh fruit and vegetables are great for your skin.
Wholegrain cereals, bread and pasta are also better for you than white grains, white bread and white pasta, as it still contains some nutrients. In fact any refined or processed food is better left alone if you want to eat a really healthy diet.
While it can be difficult initially to switch to eating more healthy foods, many people find once they have made the switch that they end up enjoying these type of foods much better in any case.
It will not just benefit your face either, but you will probably end up feeling more energized and you will have more resistance against disease as well.
If you are concerned about your skin, you really should try some of these natural remedies. They may not totally clear up all of your pimples, but they will certainly improve your skin and will make you feel better as well.

Agreement With State Saves Schools in Detroit From Forced Closure
Two dozen Detroit schools have been saved from forced closure after the district school board signed on to a deal with the state that will give Detroit the ultimate authority to control the future of the schools.
The schools had been identified for closure by the Michigan School Reform Office because they've ranked in the bottom academically for three straight years.
The 24 schools will also benefit from a partnership with four state universities that have signed on to help.

I've been exploring the world of makeup and style in the past few months like a tween. But I'm a 47-year-old woman. I've worn makeup before but not much. But I've conquered some longtime chronic health problems in the past year (HOORAY) and am feeling better than I ever have before. I've lost weight during the process, my skin is healthy and vibrant, people tell me my eyes are sparkling—I'm like a show dog ready for the ring, I guess.
So I've been looking at YouTube tutorials on makeup and style and started to notice a dearth of bloggers who look like me. Most are significantly younger than me. Most have long, dark hair. Most have dark eyes. Nobody has a schnozz like mine.
So I thought that I'd start trying to blog about it myself. I have no idea how long I'll last or how frequently I'll post. I'm in the process of editing down a video I shot last weekend demonstrating my basic everyday makeup. Meanwhile, here's a little welcome note, and I'm going to share a blog post that someone shared on Ravelry that I think is a neat way to start thinking about color, both for makeup and for clothes and accessories. Me, I'm easy. In the Color Me Beautiful book that came out when I was 15, I'm a textbook winter.
pale, cool skin; blue eyes; dark brown hair that is now mostly white.
How about you? If you don't have the book, try this seasonal color analysis from the Chic Fashionista. This is the blog post that I saw on Ravelry, and I love this kind of stuff. Questionnaires R Us. In this analysis, my most-dominant characteristics are deep, clear, and cool. We'll talk in the future about color choices and undertones; you'll hear me say often that I don't like orangey, peachy, melony colors in my makeup and insist on cool dark browns (think dark chocolate) rather than lighter or redder browns.

Craft items
My heart is so broken now. I received an email today telling me they got my return on Item # 502-124 The Little B cutting Dies – fall & refunded me. The problem is I ordered them last craft day & waiting for my items to arrive. Like most of you mine might be here tomorrow or Tuesday. I called customer service & told them I did not return them I am waiting for them to arrive. A nice lady told me they are not able to fill my order so they canceled it today & refunded me. ?? I was so looking forward to these I needed to make a card with that squirrel on it. I ordered it long before it sold out. So I am extra sad. I have never ordered Little B dies but spotted the fall set & fell in love with it! HSN – please see if you can please get these again. At least a set for me & anyone else whom ordered them & was not able to get them. Thanks
Thought I would let you know you are not the only one. I ordered several items on Aug. 30th. On Sept 5th I received an email saying that two of my items were returned and I was refunded. I called and got the same response. They couldnt fill my order so they refunded me. I also had ordered long before they sold out but it seems that didnt matter. They do not fill orders in the order they are received. As far as the other many items I ordered not a single one has shipped out. I have contacted HSN customer service several times to see why they havent shipped and they just kept telling me they checked with the warehouse and that I would receive my items no later then the 9th. Well, today is the 9th and my items still havent shipped. Now they tell me they will request a response from the warehouse and get back to me in one to three buisness days. Yes that takes us to the middle of next week before I get any answers. Meanwhile I have been charged and already received my bill. Clearly I am not happy right now ;(

With the recent heavy rainfall and humidity, wild mushrooms have been shooting up in mountain forests and grasslands. In Nantou County's Puli Township a man picked some unfamiliar fungi growing in the National Chung Hsing University experimental forest area along Nanan Road and took them home to cook. The result was that the whole family of five had to rush to hospital. For the sake of filling their bellies they almost lost their lives. It was truly a case of biting off more than they could chew. You hear many stories of people eating unfamiliar mushrooms and giving themselves food

I was excited to finally get around to watching The Florida Project last weekend now that it's on Amazon. I knew that it looked (and was supposed to be) good, but I didn't think I would enjoy it quite as much as I did.
There's so much to like about the film (including some crazy good acting from an energetic group of kids). But probably the most remarkable thing is its world building: the movie is about poor, struggling families living in the shadow of Disney World outside Orlando; and it really takes that idea and runs with it, turning its rundown locations into makeshift, knockoff extensions of Disney's kingdom.
It's a really beautiful, entertaining approach that lets the movie straddle the line between showing adults' lives and their...

Shift Workers – How much time to Work? Take a Break!Posted on by Angela Rhodes
The legal number of hours between shifts that a worker is able to take is determined by the Working Time Regulations 1998. They state that the minimum rest period in any 24-hour period should not be less than eleven consecutive hours. Therefore, workers are entitled to at least 11 hours rest per day, at least one day off each week and a rest break during the shift if it is longer than six hours of a minimum of 20 minutes. An employer cannot insist that a worker works more than 48 hours per week. Any more than this is voluntary and subject to an "Opt Out" agreement. Do note, however, that for night workers, there is a maximum of 8 hours work in any 24 hours on average and a right to free health assessments. Mobile workers are subject to a variation of these rules under the Road Transport (Working Time) Regulations that came into force last year. Also, with regard to paid annual leave, a week's leave needs to be the same amount of time as their working week – for example if someone works 5 days a week, they are entitled to 20 days leave; or 12 days leave if they work 3 days a week. You can visit the DTI website for more information on the Working Time Regulations and the rules for averaging out the above time limits over a period of time, or for peace of mind, contact us for further guidance.

Arsenal goalkeeper joins Napoli on loan
by admin • August 18, 2018 • Arsenal, Colombia, Napoli, Premiership, Serie A • 0 Comments
Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina has joined the Serie A outfit Napoli on a season-long loan, the Premier League giants confirmed.
The Colombia international signed for the Gunners from Nice in 2014 and has since gone on to make 70 appearances alongside winning two FA Cups.
However, the 29-year-old stopper has fallen out of favour under new manager Unai Emery after the summer arrival of Bernd Leno from Bayer Leverkusen.
The north Londoners confirmed the news with a brief statement, adding that they "would like to wish the Colombian the very best for the season".
Ospina is the third stopper to join Napoli this summer following the arrivals of Orestis Karnezis and Alex Meret.
