Why Go Metallic?
Well, the answer is quite simple. It is the new thing now. The trend has turned to these shiny bold literally glittering eye-catching colors. They are popping out everywhere. From runways to the club they are ruling. So, it is better to ask not at all.
These colors will shine, shimmer and glitter but are not like funky, childish glitter things of the teenagers but more sophisticated and glamorous. The shades will tell a new story every day from your lips.
Why Is Metallic the New Trend?
Now that can be your concern. What happened to our beloved matte? Those were looking like they were never leaving the spotlight. But, metallic have brought their own spotlight in the show.
While glitters are really inconvenient as they keep on falling everywhere as we do our day, metallic brings a sparkle that doesn't fall or fade or is childish. This heavy duty metal liquid is far more wearable. They last longer with minimal reapplication and literally shine like daylight. Shining bright like a diamond! They have taken shine and color to a next level. They make you look bold and cool, fashionable and hot, sexy and elegant.
And application? Easy as a swipe. Just slide it. A swift glide will do a full coverage. They do not feel sticky as gloss does, they do not wear off like glitters and the colors are not dull. Also, they come in portable tubes.
How to Rock the Look of Metallic Gleam?
Metallic lipstick is no space science. It is just how you do your lips before. But for new comers and for pros to here are some friendly reminders and notes. Hope they will be helpful.
#A Strong Base Is Needed for A Strong Structure
Make your lips beautiful so that they look beautiful in anything. If your bare lips are already like a rose petal than no matter what you wear will make you look like a rose. If you have dry flaky lips then applying something heavy and fine like metallic will only make matters worse.
Exfoliate the lips. So, you have soft and smooth lips. Keep them moisturized so they do not look chapped but full and lustrous. Thus, your metallic lipstick will look the best. Apply any moisturizer on lips at least 15 minutes prior to lipstick.
Apply a primer or you can use concealer or foundation and create a friendly base for them. They will help to hold the pigment.
The lining is also important. This does not allow feathering and you know where you are going. It also holds the color in place and can make your lips fuller, bigger, smaller or anything that you like.
#Now Get Your Metal Mate
When your lips are ready bring in the star. Choose the color you want. Most of the application tips are easy to use. But also be careful a bit. Metallic is an understanding cosmetic piece. They help you with what they got to look the best.
#Cleaning the Mess
We got to admit no matter how experienced and careful we are, we just cannot help to make a mess sometimes (I mean, hello! To err is human. It is obvious). And coloring outside of the line……….. we have been doing that since play school. And we loved it that way. So, as an adult when we mess up and go slightly out of the line when coloring our lips, it's no big deal.
Just use micellar water or makeup remover. Take a cotton dip in them and clear the mess. Then using an angled brush to apply a flesh toned concealer around the edges to create the finish look.

#Revealing the Best
Now here is a tip that will make you look better and your lips more natural. Select a concealer that is two shades darker than your skin tone. Dust a bit just below your bottom lip followed by a dab of the illuminator. Apply above your cupid bow too. This will give you the perfectness you deserve.
#Rest of the Best
Girl, you absolutely do not want your face a show-off where the different artist has put their best creation without managing the place. Your eyes, cheeks, lips all together cannot be a highly rated piece of art (than trust me you will be a piece of a joke). So, as for the rest of your makeup, maintain a low-profile. Let your lips shine. Make your eyelash voluminous, can draw the upper lids a bit. And for cheeks. Something nude will do better.
Enjoy a happy lip day!

Is Metallic Lipstick Safe?
You can have this concern. The colors are too good to be true. The shine is something not from this world. It is surely standing out in the crowd but blends with the color you have applied. So, how is it possible? How is this impossible done? Questions arise.
Hence, this trend is completely new and there are yet scopes to investigate further we really cannot be saying anything for sure. But, upon much research and search, some manufacturers provided information on its skin benefits has been found. As for example, some manufacturer has guaranteed to enriched these colorful sticks with Vitamin E, moisturizers like hyaluronic acid, fragrance, hydrating agents and so on.
The Trick for Cheapskates!
No offense. It is good to be logical when it comes to spending money. After all, it is hard earned. So, if you want to try it out but yet not sure enough to spend bucks or cannot get hands on your desired one you can turn any of your lipstick in metallic.
For this take any of the lipstick you already possessed. Liquid lipsticks are the best bet for this trick. Matte is a good choice too. But you can also try to do it with others. First apply the lipstick on then using your fingertips, dab some of your metallic type eye shadow on it. Gently, you do not want to ruin the lipstick below. You can also try with glitters which are extra refined and shimmers. The finer they are the better effect it will provide. You can also try a highlighter. Just be sure of matching the colors well.
So, Are We Set?
We hope this article had answered many of your queries and also has shed some light on this new thing. Now you can try them and tell your own story. Fill your words and emotions with this set of completely new color and style.

Do you remember a pop star named Tiffany (no last name) from the 1980s? She was in the top of the top forty, and a constant sound on the radio back then. She enjoyed immense success, becoming for a short time a household name.
Apparently, if she tried, she didn't move fast enough to hold the affection -- or even the attention -- of her fans. When the tastes of the nation turned from bubble gum to grunge, Tiffany suddenly became obsolete.
Looking ahead and being explicit about your skill development can mean the difference between being blind or being visionary.

On the 10th of November 2019, I was at the Bangalore Literature Festival in a session with Harini Nagendra and Nirupa Rao. The session, The Secret Lives of Trees, offered us an opportunity to talk on a subject dear to each of us: trees.
Harini and Seema Mundoli's book, Cities and Canopies: Trees in Indian Cities had hit the stands last year, generating widespread interest on the trees among us. Nirupa, who'd earlier worked with Divya and me on Pillars of Life: Magnificent Trees of the Western Ghats, had had another book published recently, Hidden Kingdom: Fantastical Plants of the Western Ghats illustrated with her spectacular artwork. I was roped in thanks to The Wild Heart of India which carried a few essays on forests and trees in the countryside and wilds of India.
Following Harini's vivacious and insightful lead, our conversation swooped and veered, sallied and swung around trees. On the science of trees, on the connections between people and trees, and on the challenges of trying to portray the majesty and wonder and individuality of trees in art and in words. We spoke of the wood-wide web and the values of trees in our daily lives, of Myristica swamp forests and silk cotton trees, and even of what trees can help us discover about ourselves and our views on citizenship and belonging to place.
Listen on and leave your thoughts and comments below!

Antimatter Audio Launch Codes Eurorack Trigger & Gate Sequencer Module
The Launch Codes is a compact modular performance source for manual or sequenced triggering and gating of five separate channels.
Controller mode:
The Launch Codes functions as a realtime manual performance switch controller providing trigger, momentary gate, or latched/toggle gate voltage outputs, selectable per each of the five channels. The settings and states of these channels can be saved and recalled.
Sequencer mode, chains, CV:
The Launch Codes also acts as a clocked performance sequencer for five trigger/gate events. Sequences are up to 32 steps long for each of the 5 patterns, for a total of 320 steps (20 bars). Recording is always enabled, and sequences are entered by tapping or holding the channel buttons.
Patterns can be expressively chained in the order pressed (324, 415, etc…). Launch Codes will continually loop through this chain, or a single pattern.
A reset port is provided to reset the sequencer to the first step. A special CV address mode allows the reset port to address the sequence directly through external voltage to modulate the sequence position. The clock input can be combined with the CV input to generate stuttered, glitchy beats, or to mimic more subtle fills, rolls, and accents.All settings and sequences can be stored in internal memory for future use after power off. The Launch Codes can recall the internal memory at any time

Mellisa is not only the mother of this beautiful baby boy, but she is also the photographer who took the four wonderful pictures of him that appear on this page.
She used a Canon Rebel 2000 camera and a lot of creativity.
Unfortunately, our policy regarding images of children on PhotographyTips.com does not permit us to provide surnames or any other identifiers that could lead to the child's location, so Mellisa's last name shall have to remain anonymous. But she knows who she is, and should be very proud of the pictures she took.
Mellisa's baby was born on July 18, 2002. The hallowe'en costume portrait on the right and the picture directly below were both taken when he was three-and-a-half months old. At that age, as you can see, a baby is attentive and interested in what's going on, and also highly photogenic.
Mellisa wrote, "If you're interested in some of the simple techniques I used, here they are. I bought some nice, thick fabric and used a three-directional office lamp for lighting. For the shots where he is actually sitting, I just draped the fabric over his bouncy seat. I love doing projects like this and we both have a blast!"
Photographer and mom, Mellisa, was awaiting the arrival of a new Nikon Coolpix 4300 digital camera for Christmas when this image was taken by her. She says she generally uses either Kodak Royal Gold or Fuji Superia film.
If Mellisa's digital baby photography is as good as her film baby photography (and we can't think of any reason why it shouldn't be), there will soon be a lot more excellent pictures taken of this handsome, little fellow.
Everything a baby touches seems to be brought straight to its mouth. The red ribbon in this image (taken when he was four-and-a-half months old) probably doesn't taste very good, but the pose and the baby's attentiveness and expression make for a glorious baby picture - the kind any parent would be proud to have.
The fact that the photographer is also the baby's mother makes this and all the other pictures doubly-endearing.
Congratulations, Mellisa! You have done a wonderful job.
Title of Work: Oh Baby!
Utah photographer Trisha Gold wrote of this attention-grabbing picture: "The baby is not cross eyed. He is looking at the camera lens through the crib bars. I could have very well photographed the baby from above, and avoided the crib bars. However, I thought they may add interest to the photo. This shot was taken unexpectedly as I was actually watching the baby and hoping he would reach out through the bars. I kept shooting, and got the shot I wanted eventually. When I downloaded the pictures, it turns out this one was my favorite even over the one I had intended to get."
Isn't that often the case, that the picture we set out to take is not as good as the one we get by accident?
Trish's tip: Look for unusual perspective when taking portraits to capture personality.
Trish tells us her picture was taken with her Sony Cybershot (DSC-H20) 10.1 megapixel, 10X optical zoom. "I took the picture at f4, 1/5 sec. exposure, and ISO-400," she says. Trish used selective focusing to ensure that both the baby and the bars in front would be in focus, but the bars in back would be out of focus. "My favorite photographer is Jodi Cobb," she says. "I especially love her gallery on love, done for the National Geographic in January 2000. Her photographs seem to catch the soul of the person she is photographing. When you see the picture, you see who they are."
For me, this is only the beginning in photography!

If you could only do one exercise for your thighs, what would it be?
I am on a limited program and cannot do three or four exercises per body part.
I recommend you do either the Hack Slide, 6 sets of 8 reps, twice a week or Sissy Squats 5×15 reps, again twice weekly.
The sissy squat works more of the total thigh than the hacks.
If you can, and remember, the sissy is done in three parts, the downward move thrusting the knees forward while leaning back, then the burlesque bump, thrusting the hips up and forward and then finally coming to the upward position, which is not to mean you come totally upright.
You should only come up three-quarters to keep the tension on the thighs.
Done properly, sissy squats will develop your thighs from your knees to high up on your thigh where the muscle inserts under your shorts instead of stopping at the hips like a regular squatter's legs do.

At NewestCasinos, it is our duty to ensure that you only play at the best online casinos on the web. As part of our responsibility, we take a good, hard look at the countless gambling sites and pick out the most reputable and trustworthy names – and, with that, we also identify those that are not.
There are quite a few sites out there that don't have any intention of providing players with quality service. In fact, their main goal is to scam players out of their hard-earned money before packing it all in and leaving you cheated. That's why we have put together a list of blacklisted casinos – so you know where you should never spend your money and can avoid online casino scams.
The Warning Signs
When you're browsing the web for an online casino to play at, it can be difficult to choose. There are so many sites to choose from – many offer great-looking design and impressive bonus offers. While, most sites operate above board, there are some online casino scams that slip through the cracks, and are able to masquerade as reputable sites while being anything but. So you should be sure to keep your eye out for red flags like delayed payments and false advertising.
Be sure to do your research on the new potential gaming site before registering as a member, and certainly before depositing any money. If you have a funny feeling about any of the following points or have heard about them through the grapevine, then it's likely that you're dealing with a site that should be on our casino blacklist.
License? What License?
Online casinos should be licensed in a reputable jurisdiction, where authorities keep an eye on their operations. The license that an online casino has should be listed right on their homepage for all players to see. The following locations are those that provide casinos with licenses:
- Gibraltar
- Alderney
- Costa Rica
- Curacao
- The United Kingdom
- Malta
Sites that have licenses in other locations are mostly likely online casino scams. However, some sites even go so far as to include the seal of a licensing body that it doesn't even have a license from. This information can be quite time consuming to double-check, so we take this step for you at NewestCasinos.
Not Completing Payments
It's natural for it to take a few days (or even a week) for online casinos to process withdrawals. This is due to the casino's own fraud checks and the processes conducted by the banking options. However, if players are left waiting for more than seven days for their payout, then that is certainly a red flag.
It is a good idea to look at the list of online payment methods that a casino offers. You should see reputable names like Mastercard, Visa and Neteller. Avoid sites that only offer deposits via money orders and wire transfers, as cash-only sites have a highly possibility of being a scam.
Keep an Eye on RTPs
If you're unfamiliar with the term RTP, it means "return to player". This number lets you know how much money is paid out to players, on average, for every $100 they spend. In other words, it is the house edge for the casino. This number is normally published somewhere on the site, and it should be easy to find. If you have to search through pages and pages before finding the RTP, then you might be dealing with a scam site.
This also applies to audits. Reputable casinos are audited on a regular basis by a trustworthy authority. This information should also be included on the site in a location that is easily accessible.
Furthermore, fluctuating RTPs are a bad sign. You don't want to play at a site that advertises a 95% RTP one minute and an 80% RTP the next. The return to player statistic should not change and, if it does, that is very concerning.
Too Good to Be True Bonuses
Ever seen an online casino bonus that is suspiciously generous? Most online casinos provide players with a 100% bonus on their first deposit. This is a standard bonus, and it doesn't ring any alarms. If you see a 200% or 300% match bonus, it is usually part of a welcome package that includes smaller bonuses.
However, if you come across a promotion that offers you a 500% bonus on your first deposit up to $5000, then you should definitely take a second look. These types of bonuses are inflated to entice players to join, tempting them to deposit without a second thought before the site simply takes your money and runs. Any site with casino bonus that seems too good to be true probably is – so, it's best to mark that down on your list of online casino scams.
Bad Communication
You should take a look at the Contact Us page of any online casino. While it is becoming increasingly out-of-fashion for sites to offer players telephone support, there should be at least a couple of convenient options. Live chat, email, Skype and WhatsApp are among the contact methods that should be available.
If you're only offered an email address, that looks a bit fishy, as the site can simply never reply. You should be able to speak to a customer service agent in real time using any of the above methods, and it seems quite shady if there is no way to speak to someone who works for the casino directly.
Our List of Online Casino Scams
If you don't have the time to go through all of the steps above, don't worry. We've done the hard work for you. We've collected information on all of the blacklisted casinos we could find so that you don't have to find out about any online casino scams the hard way.
We review all blacklisted casinos on a case-by-case basis and ensure that we address all of the complaints that players put forward. We make our judgement based on our in-depth research of every site, and you can find out more about each one in our blacklist:
Sure, there is a chance that a site may reform itself. In those cases, we'll review the evidence and let players know if it has become a safe place to play. It will undergo the same scrutiny as the first time around, as we know that a simple rebrand isn't enough to make us change our minds.
Trustworthy Advice from Gaming Experts
We know what you're thinking – "why should I trust the guys at NewestCasinos?". We can assure that our only goal is to keep players from spending their money at sites that run online casino scams. We know how hard you work for your money, and there's nothing worse than losing some of it to a shyster.
As lovers of online casinos ourselves, it is important that we do our best in trying to protect the entire gaming community by alerting you of all the casino scams that we've come across. Our team features slots fans and blackjack buffs, so we wouldn't want to lead fellow players astray. We know it is all too common for players to fall prey to online casino scams, and we make it a priority to prevent this from happening.
To populate our blacklist and ensure that you have all the information you need about online casino scams, we definitely do our research. These are the steps that we take to compile our collection of blacklisted casinos:
- We confirm with the licensing body that casinos actually have a license in that particular jurisdiction
- We continuously crawl message boards and forums to find out about players concerns and complaints about particular sites
- We look at bonus offers and ensure that the casino operator is following through properly
- We test all customer support communications
- We double check with the sites' software providers that the advertised RTPs are accurate
Casino Integrity
Any establishment that handles money must adhere to important procedures that protect players. Unfortunately, not all companies abide by these rules, and there are even some that evade them altogether in order to make a quick buck. At NewestCasinos, it's very important to us that only the most trustworthy casinos, those that work hard to maintain their integrity, are the ones that players frequent.
That's why we work tirelessly to keep our collection of blacklisted casinos up to date and why we are so diligent about investigating these sites. You can count on us to deliver honest information about online casino scams so that you can play your favorite games safely.

Project Detail
As an integral component of Moline's Riverfront Civic Renewal Project, the John Deere Commons has invited citizens and tourists to its downtown locale. The area is a combination of office space, shopping, entertainment, and restaurants, and the name is really just the term to identify them all. The John Deere Pavilion is the centerpiece of this designated area as it brings in those looking to catch a glimpse of the famous green and yellow machines.
Opening in August of 1997, the John Deere Commons was designed to be a showpiece and attraction for downtown Moline. Today, the Commons, as it is most commonly referred to, encompasses several structures including:
- The TaxSlayer Center
- Radisson on the Commons
- Centre Station
- The John Deere Pavilion & Store
The John Deere Pavilion is a massive open structure that houses some of the oldest and some of the newest John Deere equipment ever made. The mix of history and history-making is enjoyable for the many tourists that fill in throughout the year. Outside, during the months of April through September, the Pavilion displays some of John Deere's largest machines from combines to bulldozers.
The John Deere Store is connected to the Pavilion and provides a large variety of John Deere merchandise. The area has become known to the locals as "The Commons" as made more ubiquitous by the annual "Lighting of the Commons" holiday event where the large Christmas Tree and surrounding shrubbery are illuminated all at once during the celebration.
According to Deere & Company's website:
"To date, the John Deere Pavilion has attracted over one and a half million guests from over 50 countries and all 50 states. It has become the Quad Cities' most popular tourist attraction and is now recognized as one of Illinois' top five tourist attractions.
The John Deere Pavilion and John Deere Commons projects have drawn on the combined efforts and support of federal, state, and local officials. It is a great example of a public-private partnership that can help a city develop an attraction that will benefit an entire community socially and economically for years to come."

You'll see an interest rate and an Annual Percentage Rate (A.P.R.) for each mortgage loan you see advertised. The easy answer to "why" is that federal law requires the lender to tell you both.
The A.P.R. is a tool for comparing different loans, which will include different interest rates but also different points and other terms. The A.P.R. is designed to represent the "true cost of a loan" to the borrower, expressed in the form of a yearly rate. This way, lenders can't "hide" fees and upfront costs behind low advertised rates.
While it's designed to make it easier to compare loans, it's sometimes confusing because the A.P.R. includes some, but not all, of the various fees and insurance premiums that accompany a mortgage. And since the federal law requires lenders to disclose the A.P.R. , it does not clearly define what goes into the calculation, A.P.R.s can vary from lender to lender and loan to loan.
The A.P.R. on a loan is tied to a market index, like a 5/1 ARM (Adjustable Rate Mortgage), assumes the market index will never change. But ARMs were invented because the market index changes and makes fixed rate loans cheaper or more expensive to make -- that's why they're variable rate in the first placed! Lenders make more money over a 30 year term if they adjust rates during that time.
So, A.P.R.s are, at best, inexact. The lesson is that A.P.R. can be a guide, but you need a mortgage professional to help you find the truly best loan for you.
Note when you're browsing for loan terms that the A.P.R. will not take into consideration and tell you about balloon payments or prepayment penalties, or how long your rate is locked. Also, you'll see that A.P.R.s on 15-year loans will carry a higher relative rate due to the fact that points are amortized over a shorter period of time.If you would like further information on this or other facts on mortgages, please give me a call - Sherry Bitner, 941-504-1445 or email me at email@example.com

The NYPD is one of the most well-financed police departments in the world. Demonstrating just how much money the department had, they're showing off their new "smart car" prototype which they hop will become the next-generation patrol car. Infrared sensor-scanners and cameras all around the vehicle can do things like record and check license plates against a database in real time, capture videos which can be livestreamed to headquarters, and much more.
To the untrained eye, it looks like almost any other New York Police Department cruiser combing the city's streets—but this squad car has just as much brains as it does brawn. It is the department's prototype "smart car," outfitted with the latest gadgets in public safety. It has two infrared monitors mounted on the trunk that record any numbers it sees—such as license plates and addresses. It has surveillance cameras and air sensors capable of sending real-time information to police headquarters. The NYPD says it is the cruiser of the very near future.


text: Music has the profound ability to inspire us to move beyond our current circumstances. In the midst of a confusing and new situation, Mary reveals the strength of her devotion and faithfulness in song. Scholars have come to refer to her song as the Magnificat and serves as an example of the character of Mary as the "God Bearer." We too have the opportunity to sing in ways that move us beyond our circumstances. In the midst of violence and rumors of war, we sing songs of peace and we hope that those songs make their way into reality.

Submitted to: World Poultry Congress Proceedings
Publication Type: Proceedings
Publication Acceptance Date: 12/20/2007
Publication Date: 6/30/2008
Citation: Rath, N.C., Durairaj, V., Rasaputra, K.S., Okimoto, R., Clark, F.D. 2008. Serum chemistry and histopathology of broiler femoral head necrosis and tibial dyschondroplasia. In: Proceedings of the 23rd World Poultry Congress, June 30 - July 4, 2008, Queenslands, Brisbane, Australia. 2008 CDROM.
Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Femoral head necrosis (FHN) and tibial dyschondroplasia (TD) are two major leg problems in young meat type poultry which cause lameness, bone deformity and infections. Whereas FHN results from disarticulation of the femoral growth plate from the articular cartilage, TD lesions are characterized by incomplete bone development at the proximal growth plates of the tibia and tibio-tarsal bones. To understand the etiology of these problems we compared the serum chemistries and growth plate histology of six week-old broiler chickens with or without femoral head and TD lesions. Serum samples each from normal and disarticulated femoral heads without any lesion (DC), disarticulated femurs with gross lesions (FHN), and TD chickens were analyzed (n=12/ group). The FHN birds showed a differentially significant elevation in serum concentrations of cholesterol, triglyceride, and low density lipoprotein whereas the protein, albumin, and magnesium concentrations were increased in all problem groups compared with their normal counterparts. Neither serum transferrin nor interleukin-6 showed any increase indicating the absence of infection. There was no infiltration of granulocytes into either FHN or TD lesions. Although the TD lesions had many apoptotic cells, the FHN lesions showed no significant apoptosis. We surmise that FHN is associated with fat embolism related epiphysiolysis arising from problems of fat metabolism.

Things are starting to heat up with Ignite Portland again. It's almost time for Ignite Portland 5. Or as I like to call it, "el Cinco."
This time around, Ignite is offering two ways to get your burning ideas in front of the crowd—five minutes of presentation magic or 15 seconds of screen time. Well, there are actually three ways to get your ideas in front of the crowd. But these are the two that are free.
Want five minutes? There's still time to pitch your burning idea to the Ignite crew. You've got until January 24 to submit your talk idea.
Maybe something shorter and far less terror-inducing is more your speed? There's a new format for Ignite Portland 5—"15 Seconds of Flame"—that may appeal to you:
Do you have something to share with Portland? Can you share it in 15 seconds? If so, here's your chance to get your 15 Seconds of Flame! Send us a video of yourself sharing your "Flame", and if it's selected we'll show it during Ignite Portland 5 on February 19th.
What can I share? Anything! Share an idea, a skill, a poem, or something you're passionate about. Silly or serious- it's up to you. Tell us your plan to save the world or why you love living in Portland, do shadow puppets, sing a really short song, bust a dance move or show Portland that you really can tie a cherry stem with your tongue. Be creative and be interesting.
What can't I share? Nothing gross or "spammy" (promotional). We also tend to shy away from politics, religion and high pitched squealy noises.
Again, both options are absolutely free. What better way to share your ideas with more than 500 of your closest friends?
Flame or Fame? The choice is yours.
Submit a video by uploading it to a video site—I'd recommend Vimeo given their Portland connection—and tagging it "Legion of Tech", "Ignite Portland" and "15 Seconds of Flame." Then, send a link to the video to email@example.com. Make sure it gets there by February 3.
More into delivering your message in person? It's an Ignite presentation for you, my friend. Submit a talk proposal by completing the proposal form. Again, the deadline for talk submissions is January 24.
I'm looking forward to seeing you on stage—in person or virtually—on February 19.

Simon Pegg feared the death of Tom Cruise during Mission: Impossible 5 Stunt
Simon Pegg was afraid that he would have to witness the death of Tom Cruise when the prominent super-actor insisted on performing a terrible stunt for the new Mission: Impossible film.
The Top Gun actor was snapped in 2014 clambering on a military plane's side. This was done for the dramatic series for the coming-soon 5th episode in the franchise Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation.
The Shaun of the Dead star is also performing in the series. He was watching as Cruise shot the daring stunt. But he did it from the ground! The actor was afraid that something could have gone wrong and he would become an eye-witness to hair-raising death of the Hollywood actor.
Pegg shares with Graham Norton, a U.K. talk show host, that Cruise is obsessive about giving the spectators a genuine experience. The superstar did a stunt in the film where he was on the side of a military plane. It was not that simple because the photo was done when the A400M took off. Cruise had to put on special lenses in order his eyes were not blown out. The actor was mind-blowing and incredible! Meanwhile Pegg could not help thinking that if Cruise dies he would watch his splat on the flight strip.

Medical Malpractice
You may have a medical malpractice claim if your treatment or procedure leaves you with injuries, illness, or other complications. If your doctor failed to adhere to the standard of care and otherwise followed widely accepted best practices and procedures, they can be held liable for your injuries. You may also have a medical malpractice claim if you are injured because your physician or other medical professional fails to inform you of the risks associated with your procedure and/or makes some other type of error. Because each medical malpractice case has unique considerations, you should contact Cooper Law Partners to evaluate whether you have a valid medical malpractice case.
Medical Malpractice Statistics
Instances of medical malpractice are surprisingly common. Statistics related to medical malpractice studies are truly staggering. According to shocking Johns Hopkins and Institute of Medicine studies:
- Medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States.
- Medical errors cause more than 250,000 deaths per year in the U.S.
- Approximately 10 percent of all U.S. deaths are now due to medical error.
- About 5 percent of adults who seek outpatient care annually suffer a delayed or wrong diagnosis.
- Around 5 percent of adults who seek outpatient care annually suffer a delayed or wrong diagnosis.
- Diagnostic errors account for up to 17 percent of hospital adverse events
Sadly, only a small fraction of victims of medical malpractice file lawsuits. If you suspect you've been injured by a negligent medical professional, contact us immediately.
Common Types of Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice accidents occur surprisingly frequently. The most common types of medical malpractice claims are:
- Failure to Diagnose / Misdiagnosis
- Surgical Errors
- Premature Discharge
- Emergency Room Errors
- Medication Errors
- Nursing Home Negligence
- Wrongful Death
- Doctor/Patient Confidentiality Breaches
These are just a few examples of potential medical malpractice cases. Generally, any harm that results from a healthcare provider's treatment that falls below the standard of care can be the basis for a medical malpractice claim.
If you or a family member has been a victim of medical malpractice, contact us immediately. We are available 24 hours, 7 days a week at 1 (800) 872-3500.

"One of the first things homeless people give up is privacy," said Darlene Hein, Care-A-Van Program director. "There is nowhere they can go and shut a door. They can shut a door in the mobile van."
Private examinations and consultations are among services offered to the homeless from the custom-designed clinic on wheels.
The Care-A-Van Program operates another medically equipped van that can go to places the new clinic cannot get to, but it does not have all the amenities of the new unit, staff members said.
The federal government gave the Waikiki Health Center $100,000 for the mobile unit, and it was equipped with a $10,000 grant from the Harry & Jeanette Weinberg Foundation, acting on a Rotary Club of Honolulu recommendation.
The new mobile clinic made its "maiden voyage" even before a recent blessing by Kahu Curt Kekuna of Kawaiaha'o Church.
"Our patients loved it," said Valerie Foree, nurse practitioner. "I love it," she added. "It's an incredible opportunity to extend health care services beyond a clinical setting."
Foree is one of four nurse practitioners who staff the mobile unit. Others are Terri Zucchero, Joline Labbe and Pua Gandall-Yamamoto. An outreach worker and medical assistant also work on the vans.
The new unit allows for the first time women's health services such as Pap smears, pelvic exams, breast screening and instructions for self-exams, the nurses pointed out.
They also will screen patients for sexually transmitted diseases and give children physical exams and sports physicals to meet school requirements.
The mobile clinic has a private room for examinations, bathroom, storage area and refrigerator for medications. It is wheelchair accessible and has an awning for a patient waiting area.
"It can be set up under a tree like a caravan," Sheila Beckham, Waikiki Health Center executive director, noted at the blessing ceremony. "It is clean, comfortable and spacious."
The Care-A-Van Program's two vans make multiple runs weekly to homeless at about 30 Oahu sites. Besides health care, they provide social services, emergency food and clothing, counseling, help in applying for benefits, case management and referrals.
The program has taken outreach services to the homeless since 1987. A drop-in center at 1640 S. King St. also provides medical and social services six days a week to 80 to 100 clients a day.
Waikiki Health Center, at 277 Ohua Ave., has provided medical and social services for more than 40 years to patients regardless of ability to pay. The center assists people who are homeless, have low incomes and no insurance, or who experience language, cultural or other barriers in obtaining medical care.

Papers, Please, a game by Lucas Pope for PC and Mac, endeavors to be boring. You'll spend your hours as a border guard in 1982 Russia analogue Arstotzka, checking and double checking papers, living through terrorist attacks, insane directives from on high, and bribery attempts only to watch your family slowly starve to death as a swamp of rules drags you down into inefficiency.
And yet Papers, Please is the sort of game that's so important, because it puts you in the shoes of someone who you might not be. Papers, Please is fun in the same way that filling in a spreadsheet is—that is, not—but while it's not fun it is incredibly thought-provoking. It asks the age-old question: do videogames have to be fun?
My first exposure to videogames as anything other than fun came with preeminent PC gaming website Rock Paper Shotgun's multi-part piece on the wonders of Pathologic, a Russian game about fighting a plague. Pathologic is brutally difficult, arbitrary, and overwhelming: rather than spend their capital to make a game you'd enjoy playing, Russian devs Ice Pick Lodge spent their time building a world that would beat you down and, when you tried to stand up, would beat you down again.
Pathologic unrepentantly isn't fun, but it tells an incredible story. Instead of the traditional videogame narrative about becoming a living god, instead you play someone barely scraping by, someone trying to stay on the horse as it desperately bucks you off of it.
The world of Papers, Please brings to mind Pathologic's unrelenting intensity. Surprisingly, for a game about cross-checking documents, it's way more accessible than Pathologic, which trades on videogame tropes but makes them terrifying and oppressive. Papers, Please makes you feel like a good worker in the Communist system.
And from there, it helps you understand the complexities of things. It's one thing for me, in a coffee shop in the middle of Massachusetts, to have opinions about immigration, racial profiling, soulless government workers, and border rights, but it's much different when you're placed into the role of one of those government workers.
The crux of Papers, Please is the question: will you put personal success above the rights of your fellow humans? You're paid by the number of border crossers you process correctly in a day. But, what happens when a young girl comes to you and tells you that a man following her is going to force her into prostitution? What about when a smuggler offers you piles of money to help him get contraband across the border? Or when a government directive comes down forcing you to racially profile?
These questions are what makes Papers, Please such a fascinating game, even if it's not fun. It's challenging, too, in the way that finding tiny discrepancies between nearly identical documents can be. But it's about those questions, and they're what make it interesting. Papers, Please shows videogames can be used not only to entertain, but to make you think about things bigger than yourself. More than that, it's something they're very good at: watching a despicable border guard in film wouldn't be nearly as effective as placing you in their role, forcing you to ask these questions of yourself.
So Papers, Please carries a high recommendation if you're interested in something more thought-provoking than the average game. Maybe it's not fun, but that doesn't make it something other than a worthwhile experience.

A local classifieds site with a difference
These sites seem to pop up pretty regularly, so I do a search for new ones from time to time. I just did another one, and found a site called iNoticeboard. This is a local classifieds site with a difference: You don't see any ads or categories on the main page. Instead, you enter your postcode, then place your ad. It makes for a much simpler interface than traditional classifieds.
I'm not sure if people will find that appealing or not. In any case, it's definitely original. It's only just started so it will be interesting to see how it goes.

Glad to read your blog.ReplyDelete
All its content is very useful for me to gain my knowledge.
I am looking forward to know more with another classified sites.
iNoticeboard is really handy, I would recommend it to anyone looking for free classifieds. Great blog.ReplyDelete
Nice information!!! I think everybody should do the same as placing their ads by giving postcode. There is nothing to worry anymore because it will give results slowly till people don't know its interface concept and its originality. Thanks…ReplyDelete
Thank you for the informarion! nice post!sites are creating whole new ways for users to share and gain information.ReplyDelete

BRINGS Blast Out the Beats with RCF
May Day has traditionally been an occasion to celebrate at prodigious length, but this year, BRINGS, the Cologne-based rock combo headed up by fraternal duo Peter and Stephan Brings, hopped the festivities up to a whole new level with their May Polka Party.
They staged an intimate get-together with 13,000 fans and celebrity cameos, rocking Cologne's Lanxess Arena in a four-hour plus marathon show on May 1st. And for all those hard-core revelers that hate to go home, there was a three-hour after-show party.
TSL Productions rolled out RCF products to serve up sweet sound at this bash. The main PA featured 32 active, three-way HDL 50-A (2x12", 4x6", 2x1.4") line array units paired with 20 dual-18" SUB 9006-AS subwoofers. The latter setup consisted of a combination subwoofer array in end-fired and gap-toothed cardioid configurations. The RCF RD-Net connected the individual sub clusters in a sub arch with delays timed to provide front-to-end bass coverage.
The crew deployed 36 of the new active RCF line array HDL 30-A (2x10", 1.4") top units in four clusters as side-fills and to cover bleacher seating. This was the first time they were deployed in conjunction with 16 active 18" VIO S118 subwoofers from RCF Groups's brand dBTechnologies in a flown cardioid configuration. Another 18 dual-6" HDL 6-A" line array modules provided near-fill support.
RCF's RD-Net served to monitor the entire system and also provided both HF compensation and low-mid coupling via FIR filters.
The sound was nothing short of spectacular. "Rarely has such a rich, clean and transparent sound been heard in the Lanxess Arena," commented a clearly impressed Christian von Brings after the show.
Technical Director and Project Manager Frank Schmitz from TSL Production was responsible for the full-service sound, lighting and video support. System technicians Jochen Gotzen, Christofer Kaufmann and Michael Häck crewed the various rigs.

If you are cool with electronic gadgets in the bedroom, then this could be for you. Jimmy Jane's Hello Touch fingertip vibrator is supposed to be like a pleasure Power Glove.
This fingertip device is said to offer three times the vibration, while taking up less than one third of the space of other such gadgets. This device has no extra bulk, making it less clumsy and more usable in the bedroom.
You can get the Hello Touch fingertip vibrator from Jimmy Jane for $65(USD). Just one question: Will it be like making love to a cyborg?

MISSISSAUGA, ON, Oct. 3, 2018 /CNW/ – Maple Leaf Foods (TSX: MFI) hosted its 10th annual Food Safety Symposium in Mississauga, Ontario yesterday, supporting its ongoing commitment to advancing learning and dialogue across industry, government, academia and civil society.
A decade ago, 23 Canadians lost their lives and many people became ill as a result of products contaminated with listeria monocytogenes which were produced at Maple Leaf's Bartor Road facility in Toronto. This tragedy led Maple Leaf Foods to make a long-term commitment to become a global leader in food safety through significant focus and investment in people, technologies and leading food safety practices. This includes enhancing learning and food safety practices across the industry.
For the past 10 years, the Company has hosted an annual Food Safety Symposium, where industry professionals are invited to a day of open dialogue, debate and learnings about important and timely food safety topics.
The theme of this year's symposium was Culture and Trust – Essential Elements for Food Safety. As the Center for Food Integrity (CFI) reported earlier this year, consumer research reveals a trust gap between consumers and the food industry, which highlights the need for increased consumer engagement by the food sector.
"Our industry faces a trust gap and we must shift and change in order to gain the trust of consumers in the health and safety of the food we produce," said Randy Huffman, chief food safety & sustainability officer, Maple Leaf Foods. "Building trust through increasing transparency in how our food is made is essential to building faith in the efficacy of the food system."
At this year's symposium, more than 70 organizations from a cross section of North American industry, government, academia and associations were represented by over 150 participants. The event challenged people to think about the food safety culture of their organizations and how they can build a culture of trust with their consumers.
For the first time in the symposium's history, attendees heard emotional and impactful accounts from speakers from the advocacy organization, Stop Foodborne Illness. Two speakers gave firsthand accounts of their experience living through dangerous and life-threating foodborne illnesses, driving home the impact on peoples' lives.
2018 symposium speakers included:
- Tressa Bennett, attorney, foodborne illness survivor and food safety advocate
- Dr. Scott W. Brooks, consultant and owner of River Run Consulting, LLC.
- Dane Bernard, managing director, Bold Bear Food Safety
- Randy Huffman, chief food safety & sustainability officer, Maple Leaf Foods
- Lone Jespersen, principal at Cultivate, Ph.D., Hauterive NE, Canton of Neuchâtel, Switzerland
- Gillian Kelleher, VP of food safety & QA at Wegmans Food Markets, Inc.
- Ken Koehler, foodborne illness survivor
- Peter J. Taormina, president, Etna Consulting Group
- Michael R. Taylor, co-chair of Board, Safe Tables our Priority, and retired deputy commissioner of Foods, US FDA
- Matt Williams, vice president, manufacturing, Maple Leaf Foods
- Rick Young, senior vice president, operations, supply chain and purchasing, Maple Leaf Foods
"The annual Maple Leaf Foods Food Safety Symposium is an integral part of our food safety commitment," said Rick Young, senior vice president, operations, supply chain and purchasing, Maple Leaf Foods. "Transparency and openness is key to creating a stronger and safer food safety culture in North America, which consumers can trust and rely on. We will never stop learning and sharing."
Next year's Maple Leaf Foods Food Safety Symposium will be held on October 8, 2019 in Mississauga, Ontario. For future information on the 2019 symposium, visit: www.mapleleaffoods.com/our-commitments/safe-food/.

On Aug. 16, the Southwest Neighborhood Assembly (SWNA) Education Task Force (formerly Scholarship Committee) celebrated its 40th year of awarding scholarships to students living in Southwest DC. The awards ceremony was held at Westminster Presbyterian Church, where more than 40 guests, including former scholarship recipients, gathered to meet this year's recipients. Since 1974, the SWNA Education Task Force has awarded scholarships to more than 275 college students living in the Southwest and Capitol Riverfront communities.
The following students were awarded scholarships of $1,500 each this year:
Khadijah B. Chase entered Howard University as a sophomore to major in Nursing. Her first year of college was at Bennett College for Women in Greensboro, NC, where she majored in Biology and maintained a 3.8 grade point average. Kadijah graduated from Metropolitan High School as an 11th grader and was the salutatorian of the class. She earned all the credits needed to graduate from a four-year program within three years.
Gary T. Hill is a sophomore at Cheyney University in Pennsylvania majoring in Early Childhood Education. He graduated from Archbishop Carroll High School in 2013. Gary was a volunteer distributor for The Southwester for five years. This summer, he gained experience in his field of study, working with elementary school children at the YMCA. Gary also worked as a guest service representative at Nationals Park. Upon graduation he plans to return to DC and teach.
Asha R. Marshall entered Radford University in Radford, Virginia as a Mortuary Science major and hopes to become a funeral home owner. She is a 2014 graduate of KIPP DC: College Preparatory-KIPP Public Charter Schools, where she was recognized as a strong math student willing to help others. One of her most meaningful high school experiences was completing a 10-day community service project in Costa Rica. While there, she helped to repair a local school and teach children.
Marlon Mitchell is a junior at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio with a 3.0 average. He is a 2012 Woodrow Wilson Senior High School graduate where he served, at different times, as both captain and player of the Woodrow Wilson SHS Baseball League. He also played for the Tenleytown Woodrow League. Marlon enjoys bike riding, reading, and listening to music.
Tyree Price entered Lincoln University in Pennsylvania as a freshman History major. He graduated from Thurgood Marshall Academy PCHS in 2014. A well-rounded student, he was recognized for his accomplishments in basketball, football, and acting in both middle and high school. Tyree performed in "Celebrating my Roots," a Black History Program at his school. For six consecutive summers, he served as a player and employee for the Barry Farms Goodman League Tournament. Tyree is the oldest of seven siblings.
Yurlee Tinsley is a Senior Business Management major and Human Resource Management minor at South Carolina State University. He is a member of Alpha Kappa Psi Professional Business Fraternity, Inc., the Society of Human Resource Management, the National Association of Black Accountants, and Beta Gamma Sigma International Honor Society. Yurlee is a 2010 graduate of Woodrow Wilson Senior High School.
The scholarships will provide students with financial aid for tuition. Students needing a computer were provided a laptop through the SWNA Technology Task Force, which is chaired by Perry Klein.
The scholarships are funded through community support. Friends of Southwest DC, a long-time community partner for this effort, funded two scholarships and Westminster Presbyterian Church funded a portion of one student's scholarship. Other contributors included individual donors, Gangplank Boat Tour, Jazz Night in Southwest, Harry's Reserve Fine Wines and Spirits, and Carter and Wiggins Trash Removal. Money for the scholarships was also funded by two yard sales.
