Disney Just Took Star Wars to the Next Level
This just in: Walt Disney has upgraded the next Star Wars movie before shooting even starts.
Disney's Lucasfilm division just removed screenwriter Michael Arndt from the Star Wars: Episode VII project, and the new names are enough to flood the film department at your local college in expectant drool.
Director J.J. Abrams will go beyond just directing and producing the film, throwing in his considerable screenwriting experience for good measure. Lawrence Kasdan steps up from a mere creative consultant to a fully credited writer.
If the gravity of these selections hasn't sunk in yet, here's why Star Wars fans should get excited about the news.
Abrams is an Emmy-nominated writer from his days of penning Lost and Fringe, two TV projects with definite touches of the fantastic. He has already rebooted the Star Trek film franchise to strong reviews. It's hard to find a writer more qualified for this particular job.
Except, you could just look at the guy right across the table. Lawrence Kasdan wrote the screenplays for The Empire Strikes Back and Raiders of the Lost Ark, widely seen as the best films in the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises, respectively.
Wait -- what about the silly ewoks?
Yes, Kasdan also penned the less impressive Return of the Jedi, but always said that he bent to Star Wars creator George Lucas' will. Don't blame the Ewoks on Kasdan, and he had nothing to do with Jar-Jar. And George Lucas only gets credit for dreaming up the characters (and some creative consulting) in Episode VII.
As a lifelong film buff in general and Star Wars aficionado in particular, I can only applaud Disney for making this move. This takes guts, but it's exactly the right thing to do.
Arndt is a brand-name writer in his own right, with an Oscar statue to his name. We're about to see his sci-fi chops next month, when The Hunger Games: Catching Fire makes its debut. Lions Gate is putting one of its most valuable franchises into Arndt's hands, albeit under a pseudonym and seemingly subordinated to novel author Suzanne Collins and Slumdog Millionaire scribe Simon Beaufoy.
But you know, Ardn't Oscar was for Little Miss Sunshine, and his next best-known work is Toy Story 3. Hardly the perfect setup for a Star Wars career, even if it's all high-quality work.
The Foolish takeaway
So yes, this is a big upgrade that moves the next Star Wars movie in exactly the right direction. It's true that Disney probably could slap the Star Wars name on the phone book and call it a script, and lines would still go around the block for the first midnight showings. The Phantom Menace still collected more than $1 billion in global ticket sales, despite terrible reviews. Even Episode III: Revenge of the Sith scored $850 million worldwide, after firmly establishing the shoddy quality of the prequel series.
But that's short-term thinking. Disney doesn't work that way.
Disney thrives on top-notch content. Invoke the inner kids and the fanboys in every viewer, and they'll flock to sequels, theme park rides, themed cruises, and plastic lunch boxes for years to come. Disney invested a cool $4 billion in Lucasfilm, and this creative change will most likely ensure that the third Star Wars trilogy pulls its billion-dollar weight at the box office -- and the park, and the toy story, and the ...
If this Star Wars thing doesn't work out, there's always superheroes
The world can't get enough of superheroes. Super-powered movies have been some of the highest-grossing films of all time, and as these franchises continue to grow, the numbers are only going to get more impressive. Disney made another $4 billion investment in Marvel to drive deeper into this multi-decade consumer trend.

Must counter challenges to multilateral trading system: PM
New Delhi, March 20 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said it is important to counter the challenges being posed to the multilateral trading system.
Modi, who met ministers and dignitaries attending the Informal WTO Ministerial Meeting being held here, reiterated India's commitment to a rule-based multilateral trading system, based on the principles of inclusiveness and consensus.
An official release said during the interaction, various aspects related to multilateral trade came up for discussion.
The Prime Minister said that a robust conflict resolution mechanism was one of the key benefits of the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
"The Prime Minister said that it is important to counter the challenges being posed to the multilateral trading system. He noted that decisions taken in the Doha Round and Bali Ministerial Meeting are yet to be implemented," the release said.
It said that Modi re-emphasised the need for a compassionate approach towards the Least Developed Countries.
The Prime Minister expressed satisfaction at the enthusiastic response to India's invitation for the informal meeting and said it was an expression of global confidence in multilateralism and the principles of the WTO.
Commerce and Industry Minister Suresh Prabhu was also present on the occasion.

High productivity and the best quality: powerful functions guarantee the best processing results.
Process reliability
Mild steel becomes extremely hot during laser cutting and may melt uncontrollably. With CoolLine, this does not happen. During processing, the cutting head sprays water mist in a circle around the laser beam onto the workpiece. This is possible thanks to nozzles with precise bore holes. The vaporisation energy of the water means that the material around the laser beam is cooled. CoolLine therefore enables new geometries and increases process reliability for the processing of thick mild steel considerably.
AdjustLine enables the easy adjustment of the cutting process to materials of different quality. The function increases process reliability, above all when cutting material of a poor quality. This results in fewer waste parts and lower material costs for you. The operator can switch AdjustLine on or off at any time – programming is not required.
PierceLine monitors and controls the piercing process. This saves material and preserves the machine, increasing part quality and shortening the piercing time by up to 80%
Process interlinking and operator support
With Drop&Cut, remainder sheet is utilised more easily, intuitively and efficiently. A camera ensures that the live image of the machine interior appears directly on your user interface. You can position any number of part geometries on the remainder sheet. This saves a lot of time during the post-production of individual parts. Time-consuming process steps such as aligning the sheet, sheet position measurement or zero point displacement are not needed.

Comprehensive redesign of bostonmagazine.com and its sister site, phillymag.com, for desktop and mobile platforms
With award-winning investigative journalism, in-depth profiles, and comprehensive service packages, Boston and Philadelphia magazines shape and frame the conversation around what it means to live, work, and play in their respective cities right now.
Collaborators: 10up, Jamie Leary, Jen Penningroth
Project: Print, Digital, and Motion Graphics
Client: MIT Technology Review
The 2014 edition of MIT Technology Review's popular Ten Breakthrough Technologies list took a "digital first" approach; choices for the print presentation were guided by choices made for the digital presentation.
To spur interest in the list, a short digital film was published online and deployed through MIT Technology Review's social media channels. It quickly became the company's most retweeted and shared posting of all time. The film then was recut to function as a 'motion wallpaper' on the list's hub page.
The bold stylized number ten that appears on the magazine cover is a static reinterpretation of the themes of destruction and recreation developed in the film.
A custom made QR code appears on the magazine's table of contents page. When a reader scans the code with a mobile device, he/she is brought to the list's digital hub – essentially bringing the cover to life.

London, April 4:
A Finnish innovator has developed a new sensor that can detect concealed water leakage before it causes wide damage.
The Watector water leakage sensor developed by Jani Alatainio consists of a sensor mat and an alarm unit, reported Good News from Finland.
The mat can be cut to any shape and size with normal scissors and it detects if there is any dampness or water on its surface. If it detects water or dampness on the mat, the attached alarm unit is alerted and sounds in a manner similar to a smoke detector, the report added.
"My background is in real estate and construction and over the years I have seen water damage of all shapes and sizes," Alatainio, CEO of NWD Technologies, the company he founded in 2012 to develop the product, was quoted as saying.
"Typically water alarms only measure a very limited area, about the size of a thumb. Our mat can cover a much larger area which is a clear benefit," Alatainio pointed out.
"According to the novelty examinations we have conducted there is nothing like our product, even internationally," Alatainio said.
Watector is also easy to install and Alatainio's patented water leakage detector has already gone on sale, the report noted.

Sing To The Lord A New/Old Song Series
Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 15, 2013 (message contributor)
Summary: The Liturgy, especially the Mass, is a point of contact between the human and divine
Monday of 11th Week in Course 2013
Sacrosanctum Concilium 1
"O sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand and his holy arm have gotten him victory. Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises!"
The words of Psalm 98 are gifts to us today so that we may respond appropriately to St. Paul's catalogue of the characteristics of the Christian life. As servants and children of God, not just Paul, but all of us, will endure all kinds of troubles in order to follow Christ. And we will do so, not with grumbling, but, inspired by the Holy Spirit, we will do it with enduring love. This is not possible, not even imaginable, by our own power. Day after day the mainstream media either make fun of our faith or support those who would entice or force us to do evil. Night after night the purveyors of filth pollute our cables and airways with ugly, unrighteous words and images. And just about anytime a child can turn on a computer and access things that ought never to be seen by anyone of any age. Only God's power can stand up to this and work for righteousness.
Not quite half a century ago, the Vatican Council promulgated its first document, the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium. The Council Fathers put this first because they understood that the power of the Church is zero without the spiritual energy given to us as a free gift in the sacraments, especially the Holy Eucharist. They began by stating the aims of the Council: "to impart an ever increasing vigor to the Christian life of the faithful; to adapt more suitably to the needs of our own times those institutions which are subject to change; to foster whatever can promote union among all who believe in Christ; to strengthen whatever can help to call the whole of mankind into the household of the Church." (Art 1)
They continued in that vein, and clearly had in mind the kind of Pauline contrast we see in today's Epistle: "the liturgy, through which the work of our redemption is accomplished, most of all in the divine sacrifice of the Eucharist, is the outstanding means whereby the faithful may express in their lives, and manifest to others, the mystery of Christ and the real nature of the true Church. It is of the essence of the Church that she be both human and divine, visible and yet invisibly equipped, eager to act and yet intent on contemplation, present in this world and yet not at home in it; and she is all these things in such wise that in her the human is directed and subordinated to the divine, the visible likewise to the invisible, action to contemplation, and this present world to that city yet to come, which we seek."
In the Liturgy there is a meeting, a union, of the human and divine. When we come together to offer the Holy Sacrifice, as the prime example, we use words that are primarily derived from the Word of God. You can't go five minutes in the Mass without being reminded of something from the Scripture. Our profession of faith, said or sung each Sunday and solemnity, is a distillation of salvation history. The Eucharistic prayer echoes with words from both Testaments. It is of the essence of the Church that her celebrations have elements both human and divine.
Over the next few weeks we will reflect on this gift, this Constitution, and what the Council Fathers clearly meant as well as what they didn't. And, I hope, we will be inspired to pray together more intensely and with better understanding.

Obama: The UN can't give the Palestinians a state
Posted by musliminsuffer on May 27, 2011
In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
=== News Update ===
Obama: The UN can't give the Palestinians a state
U.S. president says during London press conference that he is confident two-state solution is possible, if Palestinians and Israelis agree on a 'just peace.'
United States President Barack Obama said on Wednesday that the Palestinians should negotiate with the Israelis and not appeal to the United Nations for statehood.
"I strongly believe that for Palestinians to take the United Nations route rather than the path of sitting down and talking with the Israelis is a mistake," Obama said in a joint press conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron in London.
Memo to President Obama: Israel does not want peace, and has demonstrated this for the 60-plus years of its existence.
Israel wants territory, and by any means necessary. This is why, if you have been looking, you will see the brisk Israeli annexation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem, coupled with forced expulsions of Palestinians from the homes in which they have lived for generations.
What Israel wants is a one-state solution, strictly Jewish and Israeli, with every Palestinian dispossessed, landless, homeless, and without citizenship of any kind.
That, Mr. President, is how Israel characterizes 'a just peace'.

Six Places I've Lived and the People I Knew There
Miles Varana
I. October 2017. 419 North Pinckney Street, Madison, WI. A squat, three-story, rectangular building of brown brick among Victorian houses. Uniform from all angles, silent all day.
Sometimes, I think I'm the only person I know who can get drunk and actually enjoy it. Last night at my apartment, Cameron locked himself in the bathroom for an hour, screaming Dante, and Taylor hallucinated that I was her father in Baltimore and pissed herself. Crimson and I chain-smoked in the kitchen all night, and she must've gotten tired of me bumming Spirits from her after I ran out of Cowboy Killers, because around 2:30 a.m. she lit up alone in the bathroom and set off the smoke alarm, at which point I felt relieved to kick everyone out. Maybe this is my punishment for befriending the kind of people who think it's cool to show up to a Halloween party dressed as a slutty version of Terry Gross, or maybe I'm an indecent person, too, and indecent people are simply drawn inexorably together by some as-yet-undiscovered law of social physics. Certainly, if the state of a person's residence is indicative of that person's state of mind, I'm in no position to bemoan the company I keep; the apartment is littered with beer cans and solo cups, and the cat shat on the floor in distress over the sheer chaos of it all. I'm lying in bed, tortured by thirst but too weak to journey to the sink. When I roll over onto my side, I can look out the window and see my therapist's office, which is conveniently located in a mid-19th-century manse across the street and two doors down from me. As my eyes move over the house's rich facade, I can easily visualize her office: the floral-patterned chair I whinge from, the diploma on the wall, and the calendar that exclusively features natural scenery from Kentucky, decidedly my least favorite of the lower forty-eight states. I wonder if, when she passes my building on her way to work, she looks at the front door and sees cat shit on my hardwood floors.
II. August 2016. 929 SE Tenino Street, Portland, OR. A row of five blue townhouses sits on a sleepy street, overrun with trees and power lines.
Demarcus Lawrence is a businessman, first and foremost. He works two jobs, one as a property inspector and one driving for Lyft, and runs a lawful weed-growing operation out of his garage. Additionally, he sells a little coke on the side, but only to friends, as he believes the assumption of risk that comes with selling to strangers outweighs the potential profits. He doesn't drink, smoke, or snort and prefers his roommates to follow the same rules, although he made an exception for me because I offered to pay three month's rent up front. Before he takes the money, though, he makes me show him my inner arms. After that, he examines my knuckles and asks about one of my scars. I tell him I got in a fight with a neighbor I had in Hawaii. "Filipino?" he asks. "Marshallese, actually." He nods. "I knew a few back in Vegas. Those dudes don't play." We've got another roommate, Alex, who likes to get high and listen to Loveless in his room, much to Demarcus' chagrin. "That's the devil's music, man," he informs Alex. "Which devil is that?" I ask. "The one that looks like you," he says. Sometimes, after a long night out, I'll come home and find him in the garage, minding the plants. There's a prayer rug in the corner, awkwardly situated between two boxes of unused hydroponics equipment. Demarcus is always adjusting it. "Does this look northeast to you?" he asks, anxiously comparing the orientation of the prayer rug to the Qibla app on his phone. Our conversations range from the broadly political ("her corrupt ass is gonna steal this election, same as she stole the primary") to the moderately personal ("dude, you gotta stop texting Johanna"). For someone who doesn't engage in premarital sex, Demarcus knows a surprising amount about women, and his words on the subject of newly-minted ex-girlfriends provide a much-needed touchstone of rationality each night before I stumble up the stairs to collapse onto the stretch of carpet formerly occupied by my air mattress, which, after a long and courageous battle with an air leak, has finally succumbed.
III. June 2016. 751 1st Infantry Division Road, Fort Knox, KY. Barrack E, a three-story rectangle with white vinyl siding and a gabled red roof. A lone wooden pole stands on the grass in front of the building, topped by three speakers from which Reveille and Retreat play each day at 6:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., respectively.
Private First Class Walterscheid has been in Holding Company for seventeen days now, and he still doesn't know when he's leaving. He spends each morning cleaning the latrines, limping around on his bum knee, and each afternoon sitting on his bunk, waiting, hoping for some dour staff NCO to burst through the bay doors and call his name. When that moment comes, he knows, he'll finally be going to his new unit, but it still hasn't, and his chain of command tells him nothing else about his status. Some soldiers spend an hour in Holding Company, some spend weeks, and there's no way to tell which category you belong to until the fateful hour when your name is called. Walterscheid and his brother, a late-blooming Specialist who also has the misfortune of being detailed out to Knox, run a smuggling operation that brings large quantities of candy, Copenhagen chewing tobacco, and Fleischmann's vodka into the barracks from the Px. They sell the contraband at enormously marked-up prices: five dollars per candy bar, twenty per can of dip, forty per mickey of vodka. This commercial enterprise has been enthusiastically embraced by the soldiers of Holding Company, injured, disaffected, and psychotically bored as they are, and the Brothers Walterscheid divide the considerable profits between themselves. Financial gains, however, don't suffice to lift Walterscheid's sunken spirits. He insists that he won't re-up his enlistment when his term of service expires, still two and a half years off, although he concedes that, if he makes Sergeant by then, an Army career may be preferable to going back to El Paso to work in his father's auto body shop. I'm waiting on orders, too—orders to send me back to Hawaii. Walt and I are buddies. We sit, and he listens diligently while I tell him stories of Billy the Kid, or Typhoid Mary, or paint vivid verbal images of Lanikai Beach. When I'm done, he smacks his lips and declares, "Babes galore!" He gives me vodka for free, which I drink at night in my bunk, knowing that the outside world knows nothing of me, lying in this windowless room, listening to everyone snoring. In the morning, a muscular, balding Sergeant First Class comes in and yells a name. Walterscheid turns to me, and in a voice as slow and saline as tar drying under the hot Texas sun, utters his now-famous words: "Varana, baby, I seen 'em come, I seen 'em go." Laughter echoes throughout the bay. Walt and I look at each other, waiting.
IV. November 2015. 1088 Bishop Street, Honolulu, HI. The Executive Centre, a 41-story skyscraper of sleek black glass rising above the hustle and bustle of downtown Honolulu. Every fifteen minutes, security guards conduct patrols around the ground-level premises.
Mike Kovacic figures the emphysema is going to kill him, so there's no point in quitting smoking now. He still works part-time as a crossing guard, an important job in a city famous for its high rate of vehicle-involved pedestrian deaths, but mostly he sits in his apartment smoking and reading Dante or watching old spaghetti westerns. Some of our other neighbors have complained that the whole 34th floor smells like cigarettes, and the condo association keeps threatening to take action if he doesn't stop smoking in his apartment, but Mike's decided to call their bluff. After all, he reasons dryly, "They wouldn't dare mistreat a veteran." Like any fat, dying white guy worth his salt, Mike is great at bowling. Every Tuesday night, he takes Johanna and me to the lanes in Chinatown and buys us beer to drink while he proceeds to beat us by somewhere between 100 and 150 points. Johanna and I aren't sure how, as a crossing guard, he acquired the wealth that allows him to own a spacious condo on the 34th floor of the Executive Centre, but we both agree that he wasn't born into it. As autumn changelessly slides into winter, we lie in bed watching TLC, trying to pretend we can't hear through the wall as Mike coughs up the last of his lungs.
V. January 2015. 1459 Pele Street, Honolulu, HI. Queen's Villa, a four-story, light-gray, concrete block of a building, raised on stilts, sandwiched between a halfway house and another apartment building. Few windows can be seen from the street, but the even rows of balconies that line either side of the building offer passers-by visual access to the tiny, cluttered apartments that lie within.
Johanna Xu loves to list. She has lists of books she wants to read, lists of outfits cross-referenced with their relative suitability throughout the week, lists of professors in order of lecturing ability and cuteness, lists of insecurities and fears, lists of lists by measure of priority, chronology, self-andragogy. She tells me I shouldn't smoke—it's on her secret list of things to change about me—but nonetheless stands out on the balcony with me at night, lighting my cigarettes and telling me tales of the exploits of her Chinese uncles in Toronto, which are significantly more captivating, she says, than the tales of the exploits of her white uncles in Winnipeg. She dislikes our neighbor, Kama, because he stares at her in the laundry room, but she deems the continuation of my friendship with him necessary, given his status as an influential local drug dealer and my status as the only white person living within a three-block radius. Sometimes, Kama will shout at us from the adjacent balcony to come over for dinner, and we will. I'll bring a sixer of PBR to have with dinner, and Kama will look at me and say, "Crazy-kine guy, drinking all a time." Kama lives with his family, and everyone smokes a little weed together before dinner, even Kama's toothless grandmother, who speaks only Marshallese. The longer we live together, the longer Johanna's secret list of things to change about me grows. She hides it in the pages of a copy of Atlas Shrugged, judging this to be a safe place given my aversion to the retrograde ideology contained within. Quit smoking, write more, drink less, be more considerate, enough with the plaid already. We're standing out on the balcony, and she's talking about Typhoid Mary's peach ice cream, and I'm just listening, amazed by her brain. I pull out a Cowboy Killer, my second in a row, and gesture for a light. She sighs. "You really shouldn't, you know."
VI. October 2016. 33 South Hancock Street, Madison, WI. A narrow, three-story, yellow brick building with front-facing balconies supported by simple, white columns.
Bobby Wild's brain is fried. Once, he was a clean, kindly, pot-smoking, Smash Bros.-playing architect-in-training, but now he has all but become a zombie, which is fitting, perhaps, given that Halloween is just around the corner. He came over to my new sublet last night, a singular old friend mixed in with a group of new friends whom I invited from work. We played Catan, danced to Dexy's Midnight Runners, gloated over the latest scandal and the inevitability of our upcoming electoral victory. On the whole, my new work friends seem to be a droll, pleasantly volatile bunch. Bobby didn't have much to say to anyone, although he continually offered me cigarettes, and I continually reminded him that I've quit and it's for good this time. By the end of the night, he was just sitting in the corner, rocking back and forth. I could tell that he was on something strong, probably a whole lot of Xanax, so I told him to stay and sleep it off on the couch, and he numbly acquiesced. It's morning now, and Bobby's still asleep, face down, one arm hanging limply over the floor. The day reveals what evening gloom and impairment hid: track marks. After a while, he stirs, gets up to take a piss, and then comes back and sits down on the couch. He looks around at my apartment: the beer cans, the boxes waiting to be unpacked, the bowling shoes that Mike bought me before he shot himself in the head. "White walls, Miles," he says. "White like hospital walls." So, there's Bobby on the couch, and here's me, both of us doing our best to be decent people, I swear.
Miles Varana's work has appeared in a variety of publications, including SOFTBLOW, After the Pause, Chicago Literati, Typehouse, and Crack the Spine. He has worked previously as a staff reader and managing editor at Hawai'i Pacific Review. Miles lives in Madison, Wisconsin, where he tries his best to behave like a good millennial despite his abiding hatred of tapas.

The energy of motivation
"Why don't I have the energy to do anything?
"Why don't I care about things any more?"
Are your energy systems balances and your programs get released, your motivation shifts. It feels like you have lost it. The truth is, you misplaced it along time ago. You may have even done a ton of work on yourself to realign with your truth which make you feel more lost.
My guess is you are "shoulding on yourself". When you push yourself to do something, you actually are taking energy away from other places where you actually need the energy to be to get things done.
Time to realign your motivation
I hear from my clients all the time how they used to know what motivated them and now they have lost it. As they go on a search for their long lost motivation they find that their motivation was highjacked by various experiences in their life, normally disguised as helpful advice. They had placed their motivation on that advice and displaced their own inner guidance.
What's my motivation versus your desire for me?
Picking up other's emotions is often a common practice for those of you who are more sensitive.
We do a lot of things for a lot of reasons and sometimes we think we are doing what we want when we have been given no other perceived choices or are following the leader.
But people do a lot of things, based on programs they have picked up from others that has nothing to do with what they really want. For example, maybe you think you should be making more money, but what you have to do to make that money is not what you want. Maybe the real job for you doesn't pay well in money, but pays well in experiences and how it connects to your heart.
When you feel the have to and should energy coming up:
- Ask yourself who originally told you this information.
- Were they coming from a clear space?
- Does it serve you to take that into your life?
- If yes, why? If no, then how can you work towards letting it go?
Now I am clear, what now?
Once you have found out how to balance out your inner truth with your outer experience, begin allowing the inner truth to show up more. Allowing a balance between masculine and feminine energies to have equal value in your life. Both sides are important and as you read this list see if anything pops up as bad or of less value. Think of it like and orchestra, all the instruments are important, but all of them take turns being out front and loud and soft and in the background. Same goes for these traits, you can't be all of them all of the time, but they all should have permission to show up when needed.
Masculine Feminine
Commanding Allowing
Self Community
Doing to accomplish Doing for the good of others
Receiving Giving
Focus Patience
There is a lot more out there on masculine and feminine energies. Here is a blog I wrote for our parents of energy aware kids.
Be your own cheerleader
We have a tendency to shame ourselves and others into doing things. It is a bad habit and it doesn't motivate anyone. Instead it creates and avoidance of the tasks at hand. Focusing on what is working and how to expand on that is a great place to start. If you find imbalances or behaviors or thoughts that you don't like, just notice and gently steer yourself in a new direction.
Ask for help
When you are feeling stuck ask for help. Reach out to your resources and see what they think might help. If you feel alone and stuck, find a professional energy coach, therapist, life coach, etc. There are resources out there, you just have to look.

First, eating breakfast helps keep you from snacking. When you skip the first meal, you begin the day hungry. Then, whenever you see food you want to cave in to every temptation that comes your way. The next thing you know, you have eaten more calories than you have ever realized. Breakfast is literally a breaking of your fast. It will curb your appetite for several hours.
All this will obviously help our children perform better at tests, make school a more pleasant, happier experience for them, and set them up for life with good eating and work habits. In my book, this is a pretty good return for making sure they have a properly balanced breakfast every morning.
Replace traditional stuffing with an assortment of chopped vegetables. Fill your turkey with mushrooms, eggplant, onions and celery. Or replace half of your traditional stuffing with chopped vegetables.
If you want to lose 18 pounds in 3 weeks and lose your butt and leg fat, you need to burn more calories than you take in. Simple! You should be able to create a calorie deficit through eating fewer calorie foods and engaging more in physical activities. The bottom line is to eat less and exercise more. But you must eat the right kind of food and engage in the right kind of exercise to get your body back into shape.
Well, maybe. That is if you like your grain plain. The grain we're talking about is oatmeal. Yes, that bland tasting, cholesterol lowering, heart disease reducing, protein rich grain most commonly found in a round cardboard canister. Whether your oats are rolled, crushed or ground like Irish oatmeal, a little imagination and creativity goes a long way in designing your own favorite and healthy breakfast.
This is a nice alternative to the traditional breakfast of a bowl of cereal for more than one reason. I find myself that I always tend to let my milk spoil when i buy it. I just don't use it fast enough to beat the expiration date. I also tend never to have time to wash dishes, and hate to continuously waste paper bowls and plastic spoons. Finally, my cereal finds a way of getting stale before I can finish a box. So, the milk and cereal bars are a way to avoid all of these problems!
Jogging is a very effective exercise. Not only does it get your heart pumping and work to tone and define your legs, but it also works your abdominal muscles. When you run, your body tends to automatically tighten the abdominals, so they can benefit from this simple exercise, too. Grab a friend for a daily run or hit the treadmill and set a steady pace that is comfortable for you.

What's a healthy substitute for croutons? Which has fewer calories -- almond milk or skim? Test your swap smarts with this quiz!Begin Quiz
Which of these is a heart-healthy swap for croutons in a salad?
The correct answer is: This is true. If you love the crunch of croutons on your salad, try walnuts instead. The calories are about the same (depending on the kind of crouton), and you'll be upping your intake of heart- and brain-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
When ordering an appetizer soup, which of these is the lower-calorie option?
The correct answer is: A soup that is broth-based, not cream-based, is a lower-calorie option to the start of a meal.
True or false: Almond milk is a lower-calorie alternative for skim milk.
The correct answer is: This is true. A full cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk has half the calories of skim milk (about 40 calories).
True or false: Frozen pizzas are healthier than take-out or delivery pizzas.
The correct answer is: This is true. Frozen pizzas, especially thin and crispy styles, usually have fewer carbs and calories than delivery pizzas. Opt for veggie or chicken toppings and you'll save at least 150 calories and 15 grams of fat per serving. An added bonus? They're cheaper!
Which of these is a healthier substitute for sour cream in dips, soups or on baked potatoes?
The correct answer is: You can use 0 percent-fat Greek yogurt, which is thicker than regular yogurt and surprisingly creamy-tasting, for a lower-calorie, lower-fat sour cream substitute.
Instead of cream cheese on your bagel, which of these is a lighter spread?
The correct answer is: Neufchatel cheese has fewer calories and grams of fat compared to cream cheese. Low-fat cream cheese is a healthier option, too.
When picking a protein, which of these is usually the healthiest choice?
The correct answer is: Opt for fresh fish whenever possible, and ask that it not be breaded or cooked in butter. Fish has fewer calories per ounce compared to chicken and steak. Plus, fish is a good source of healthy omega-3 fats.
True or false: Dipping bread in olive oil instead of eating it with butter can help you feel full faster and eat fewer calories in the meal.
The correct answer is: This is true. A little bit of fat, such as olive oil, at the beginning of a meal will help you feel full faster, and you will end up eating fewer calories. The little bit of fat prevents your stomach from emptying.
Which of these is the best substitute for French fries?
The correct answer is: Choose steamed vegetables, rice or baked potatoes over French fries, onion straws or rings.
Instead of calorie-dense mayonnaise, which of these is a healthier alternative as a creamy spread on sandwiches?
The correct answer is: Swap mashed avocado for mayo on your sandwich, and you'll boost fiber and healthy fats intake.
Instead of iceberg lettuce, which of these makes a better base for salads?
The correct answer is: Ask for salads on spinach, watercress or dark leafy greens instead of pale iceberg lettuce. Iceberg has virtually no nutrition value, but dark greens are chock full of vitamins and minerals.
True or false: Substituting brown rice for white rice nets you very few nutritional benefits.
The correct answer is: This is false. Swap brown rice for white rice, and you'll get more fiber and a serving of whole grains.
Which of these foods is an even better rice substitute?
The correct answer is: Quinoa is a complete protein supplying all eight of the essential amino acids. It's also a good source of fiber, folate, magnesium, iron, phosphorous and many phytochemicals. It has a mild, nutty flavor, a fluffy texture similar to couscous, and it can be used in place of rice, pasta or other grains.
Which of these is a healthier dessert choice?
The correct answer is: Stick to healthier desserts, such as fresh fruit, sorbet, frozen yogurt or angel food cake. You'll still give your sweet tooth its fix, just without all the calories and fat grams.
Which is better: milk or dark chocolate?
The correct answer is: Real (dark-cocoa based) chocolate contains an age-reducing fat — it is a saturated fat that is turned into a healthy fat by your body. Dark chocolate also provides age-reducing antioxidants and anti-inflammatory substances for your body.
Which of these is a good alternative to white sandwich bread?
The correct answer is: Instead of white sandwich bread, ask for whole grain baguette, whole wheat bread or whole wheat roll (unbuttered).
Instead of soda, what should you drink when eating out?
The correct answer is: Skip unnecessary liquid calories and have sparkling or tap water with lemon instead of a soda or glass of wine or beer.
Which of these cuts of beef is the most lean?
The correct answer is: Stick with sirloin or filet mignon for cuts of steak. You can save between 200 and 1,200 calories, depending on the portion size. Fattier cuts of steak include rib eye, New York strip, T-bone, prime rib and Porterhouse.
Which of these meats is a good alternative to ground beef in chili?
The correct answer is: Swap lean ground turkey for ground beef in traditional chili recipes. Ground turkey has fewer calories and less fat compared to ground beef.
Which of these drinks is a lower-calorie alternative to a cocktail?
The correct answer is: All of the above. All alcohol contains calories, but some choices are better than others. Avoid drinks with high-calorie mixers, and stick to more waist-friendly drinks such as a glass of wine, vodka or light beer.

Red lipstick is daring and fun! There's no doubt about it. I'm giving away 'Nars Vesuvio' to a few ladies who tell me why they're up for being daring and bold in red lipstick, so we can be daring and fun together. Just leave your thoughts in the comment section below.
I know what you're saying – "Can I pull this off?", "It's too bright", "Will red work on my skin tone good?" The answer is "just try it!", and as the pictures show, this shade of red looks great on a United Nations segment of women, so it's likely to work for you too.
Here are some before and afters of ladies who don't usually wear red lipstick, but were up for trying it.
Ms. P here doesn't even wear makeup, but a little hair zhusing and a red lip, and voila! Instant glam!
Ms. S has one orangey red lipstick and she loves this one.
I've been meaning to buy Nars Charlotte which is a darker red (seen here http://wp.me/p5C7hM-RH) for almost a year now, but this turned out to be my first one. My risqué lipstick right now is MAC 'D for Danger' (paired with MAC Beet lip Pencil) which is bright pink. From my red lipstick research I also really like Smash Box Disorderly.
Here are 3 other ladies with 3 different styles, and skin tones looking fab in the same lipstick:
You can pull this off too. I've been there with the red issues, but my millennial sister told me to stop being ridiculous and just try it. Turns out trying red lipstick is soooo much less painful than childbirth. So it's not that serious.
Be daring in red lipstick

I have been battling Breast Cancer since May and have lost my hair,eyebrows and lashes. It has been very difficult to feel good and feminine during this journey. I think this lipstick would represent "Cancer,you got to go"… and I can look fabulous no matter what!!!!
Lora AlexanderDecember 13, 2016 at 1:54 am
I think we have a winner!
Sherry PearsonDecember 14, 2016 at 1:16 am
Lora, I totally agree!
Sherry PearsonDecember 10, 2016 at 3:07 am
Mandy, I'm way too pregnant to be 'hot' but that color is really pretty on me. I'm definitely gonna get that lipstick. Thanks for letting me be a part of your red lips group experiment 🙂
NicoleDecember 7, 2016 at 2:30 pm
You ladies look great!!!! I love red. Got on my red coat now.
Ayo ScorpioDecember 7, 2016 at 3:56 am
First of all of you ladies are beautiful in your natural state, but I must say that lipstick sure brightens things up. (Congratulations Sherry! Hi Lora! Lady in the bold necklace, you look GREAT! I recognise you from your first interview!) I don't wear makeup though I am partial to mascara and lipstick (subtle shades). I like red lipstick – on other people – I have a small face and I've always thought that bold colours would 'overload' my features so I'm never without my Burt's Bees lip balm (Yes, I'm addicted!) HOWEVER! NARS Charlotte looked stunning on you Mandy, and I really thought that that would be the red I'd try, but NARS Vesuvio really compliments all these ladies' skin tones so I'm game! Pick me! #NARSVesuvio!
Sherry PearsonDecember 7, 2016 at 3:13 am
Stop playing and just 'randomly' select me…cause it's obvious that shade of red has my name written all over it 🙂

Hey everyone. Just a quick update from work here (I got an internship for the week)... I have no internet at home. I will try to answer emails on my lunch break with my BF at home looking at the swap list... but for the moment, things will suck in this department.
I think I've responded to all the "missing match" emails... I'm beginning to hate Hotmail - it never seems to send my email, but as Charlie pointed out, certainly sends all the Penis-Enlargement and Viagra emails!

It will be site constraints or budget. Im sure they would have realised the capacity could be bigger if they just copied the other end.
the mad thing is, the tower is actually quite small inside, and a weird design, so nobody really knows what to do with it once it's restored!

3 Tips for Great Photos with a Young Child
From children's birthday parties and religious celebrations, to vacation photoshoots and family engagements, there are so many opportunities to capture photos with kids. However, kids can be rather tricky to photograph. They tend to get distracted, bored, and overwhelmed easier. Some kids may be camera shy, while others go crazy for the attention. Whatever the case may be, we'd like to share 3 tips for capturing picture perfect memories with a young child that we've learned throughout the years by working in the industry. With the following tips, you'll have photos worthy of hanging on the walls of your home, and sharing with friends and family, for years to come.
Let Them Wander
Rather than lining your kids up and yelling, say cheese!, simply let them wander and explore. The greatest photos of children can be when they're investigating their surroundings and just being children. Long gone are the days of bringing kids to a photography studio and lining them up in front of some generic background– there's no sense of wonder of inspiration to be sought from photos like those. Whether you're in your own backyard or adventuring in a foreign land, let your kids be kids and the camera will do the rest.
Let Them Be
In the same sense, it's important to let young children be young children– that's where the real magic happens! Don't worry about having them pose or look a certain way; don't micromanage them or complain if their hair is looking a bit tousled. Young children can sense when adults are overdoing it or putting a bit of an act on. When you give young children the freedom to be exactly who they are, that's when the camera can really capture golden moments that you'll cherish for a lifetime.
Make Use of Props
It's no secret in the world of photography– kids love props! If you're looking for a way to engage them or distract them (particularly if they're camera shy), props are a lovely idea. From balloons and chalkboards to colorful umbrellas and kites, there are plenty of fun options. You may even find some natural props– seashells anyone? You can even think about creating a picnic scene to be photographed. The shoot can really be anything you make it and having fun is always #1!
The idea of photographing young children may seem daunting at first, but it doesn't have to be! Kids can make excellent subjects for photographers– even the most seemingly uncooperative youngsters can prove to be incredible in the eye of a camera lens. Unfortunately, kids aren't kids forever and you'll want to capture these memories while you can– fortunately, the photographers at Local Lens are here for you and your family.

My Background
I've always loved creating art, even as a child. Art was one of my high school majors, then I went on to graduate from Pratt Institute with a BFA in Commercial Design. During my working years I designed graphics, toys, and packaging for Macy's, Lever Brothers, Milton Bradley, and many other corporations. I even had my own design line of children's wear. But throughout those years I created art as well, in many mediums. I continue to use my maiden name, Marra, as my artist/designer signature.
During the past 20 years I have been teaching art to both children and adults. My classes cover drawing, acrylic painting, design, abstraction, pastels, and watercolor. I recently completed a commission creating a background painting on 4-walls for a large model train layout. I continue to work with young students on drawing, design, and water color techniques.
I've now retired from commercial work and live near Charlotte, NC, but continue teaching and creating. This web site describes and illustrates some of my work, including paintings, mosaics, water colors, constructions, mixed media, and sketches made during vacation travels.
On-Line Store
How would you like to wear my art? I've recently designed almost 200 clothing items that are displayed in several collections in my on-line store. Each collection includes silk scarves, kimonos, leggings, capris, work-out shorts, dresses, and skirts; all made to order. The store is best viewed on a screen larger than a smart phone to easily review fabric details, item descriptions, size info, and the collections.
You may also order high quality prints of my art on paper, framed canvases, and even printed on wood. Open the On-Line Store section of this website or visit my on-line store to learn more and see all the possibilities:

Acts 13:1-3 (CEB)
Barnabas and Saul sent to minister
13 The church at Antioch included prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon (nicknamed Niger), Lucius from Cyrene, Manaen (a childhood friend of Herod the ruler), and Saul. 2 As they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Appoint Barnabas and Saul to the work I have called them to undertake." 3 After they fasted and prayed, they laid their hands on these two and sent them off.
1 Corinthians 3:6-9 (CEB)
6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God made it grow. 7 Because of this, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but the only one who is anything is God who makes it grow. 8 The one who plants and the one who waters work together, but each one will receive their own reward for their own labor. 9 We are God's coworkers, and you are God's field, God's building.
1 Corinthians 12:12-30 (CEB)
12 Christ is just like the human body—a body is a unit and has many parts; and all the parts of the body are one body, even though there are many. 13 We were all baptized by one Spirit into one body, whether Jew or Greek, or slave or free, and we all were given one Spirit to drink.14 Certainly the body isn't one part but many. 15 If the foot says, "I'm not part of the body because I'm not a hand," does that mean it's not part of the body? 16 If the ear says, "I'm not part of the body because I'm not an eye," does that mean it's not part of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, what would happen to the hearing? And if the whole body were an ear, what would happen to the sense of smell? 18 But as it is, God has placed each one of the parts in the body just like he wanted.19 If all were one and the same body part, what would happen to the body? 20 But as it is, there are many parts but one body. 21 So the eye can't say to the hand, "I don't need you," or in turn, the head can't say to the feet, "I don't need you." 22 Instead, the parts of the body that people think are the weakest are the most necessary. 23 The parts of the body that we think are less honorable are the ones we honor the most. The private parts of our body that aren't presentable are the ones that are given the most dignity. 24 The parts of our body that are presentable don't need this. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the part with less honor 25 so that there won't be division in the body and so the parts might have mutual concern for each other. 26 If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if one part gets the glory, all the parts celebrate with it. 27 You are the body of Christ and parts of each other.28 In the church, God has appointed first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, the ability to help others, leadership skills, different kinds of tongues. 29 All aren't apostles, are they? All aren't prophets, are they? All aren't teachers, are they? All don't perform miracles, do they? 30 All don't have gifts of healing, do they? All don't speak in different tongues, do they? All don't interpret, do they?

Pint-Size Pop Up Shop!
Last Spring, Freida suddenly had a pint-size business epiphany, and set her heart on selling bracelets. She had been making Rainbow Loom creations all year, and when she had perfected her fishtail designs to her satisfaction, she decided she would go corporate. With the help of a cardboard paper towel tube, she slowly started building her shop stock. Not a week went by where she forgot to ask me if she could have a lemonade + bracelet stand this Summer. And then she'd ask again 5 minutes later. To verify.
As an avid fan of Ikea, the annual arrival of their catalogue always excites me to some extent, and I usually settle on my favorites right then and there. One of my favorites from 2014 was the concept of the Skylta Market Stand. $15 for this cardboard cutie - and a promise of Summer-stand fun! I couldn't even resist from sharing this find in the Babyccino Summer Curriculum - under the umbrella of "lemonade" week, of course. Dramatic play props with these proportions usually require significant funding and even more significant space. The idea of having this made to go up and down in a jiffy completely made me smile. And it was one of my best Ikea buys ever. (While Ikea instructions are for dummies to begin with, I somehow manage to fall through the cracks, and struggle with those little manuals no matter what. Huge shout-out to my 11-year-old niece, Chaya, who was in town and available to assemble this one for me on the spot at Babyccino class.) I've since taken it apart to store flat, and put it back together a whole bunch of times. After our epic Lemonade + Bracelet sale, the girls have used it to enhance their dramatic-play-playdates with everything from "farmers market" to "movie theatre box office". It's been an imagination booster, to the max. And I wanted to share it here with you all - get your hands on it before it's discontinued (Ikea style)!
One Sunday in July, we made made a whole big batch of lemonade and set up shop on our block. I snapped a pic and posted it on Instagram, inviting our neighborhood friends to stop by and support her pop-up shop. Naturally, we also got the Melrose crowds, as well as a slew of charitable church-goers. Her little friends came by to join in the enterprise, and my friends came by to support my little entrepreneur. She was planning on making a few bucks to buy some new additions to her disney princess figurine collection (which her mother staunchly refuses to contribute to), but when we dismantled at the end of the day and counted up her cash, she (and I!) was shocked to see she had made a whopping $64! It was such a fantastic lesson in finances - we spoke about paying her "employees" (the little friends that helped man the booth), covering the cost of her supplies (the bags, napkins, and straws she wanted), and setting aside 10% for charity. At first she was hesitant about this saying "but I don't want to lose $6.50!", when I said "you're not losing it, you're giving it" - total game changer. She decided she wanted to send it to the IDF, and even happily wrote up a little card for them. The rest of the money she put away deciding she can save for her dream scooter instead of buy a bunch of princesses that usually break anyways. As she was falling asleep she said dreamily, "can I have my own bank account?". :)
Would seriously suggest you do something like this with your kids as a little lesson in fiscal responsibility. And get this stand while you're on the market!

ST. CHARLES, Mo. — A St. Charles County, Mo., judge sentenced a 24-year-old Missouri woman to eight years in prison for selling two high school girls for sex.
FOX 2 Now reports Tiffany Piper, 24, admitted to trafficking two suburban high school girls in June of 2012. Piper said she placed ads online, inviting men to have sex with teenage girls for a price. FOX 2 Now reports her sex trade business was elaborate and lucrative.
In a haunting twist, Tiffany is the sister of Bianca Piper, a Missouri girl missing since 2005. At the time of her disappearance, Bianca was 13. In a tragic coincidence, after Bianca vanished, 'something happened to Tiffany,' FOX 2 Now reports. Sex ads started popping up online. Someone was trafficking Tiffany for sex.
St. Charles County Prosecutor Tim Lohmar said at some point Tiffany turned from victim to perpetrator. Lohmar said he doesn't know who first trafficked Tiffany because she won't say.
After hearing her sentence, Tiffany reportedly turned around and mouth "I love you" to her mother and grandmother.

When did you last kneel down?/
Sunday 10 July
David McClay, is Rector of Willowfield Parish Church in East Belfast. Together with his wife Hilary, he leads New Wine Ireland. On the first evening of #Sligo16 David brought the message at opening celebration. Here VOX magazine Editor Ruth Garvey-Williams brings you a summary of what he had to say.
God has a word for our churches, for our communities and for our land at this particular time of challenge and change. What has this past year been like for you? There probably have been highs and lows. Lots of stuff that can go on for us and we bring all of that with us and we bring all of that with us into New Wine this year.
Life will always include challenges and times of stretching. That is part and parcel of pursuing our relationship with Jesus and the joy of being His disciples.
Two examples: Abraham was called to leave his homeland to go to place where God had called him. God promised Abraham an incredible future. "In you all the families on earth will be blessed…" Joshua faced many battles. When Joshua had grown old and there was still much to do, the Lord spoke to him.
Our timing can be off. What we hope for doesn't always come to pass. We can end up in a place where there is still so much more to do. Every generation hopes that they will be the generation to see revival and blessing. It is right to pray for a great move of God in our land but in the meantime, it is right to continue working in the small things.
God's word is a word for the individual and for the corporate people of God together. God never favours one over another. We are all called to walk humbly with Him. For each generation, the promises of God are sure. God will lead us through.
But here's the thing… The way forward and the way upward is on our knees. The posture of our hearts really matters. When did you last kneel down? I think that a lot of the Psalms were written by someone who was kneeling down… "Let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker." What does it mean for us to kneel down?
Together we need to take responsibility for the spiritual health and wellbeing of our nation. In order to do that, we need to humble ourselves before the cross of Jesus. This is a week for us to take responsibility for where we are at with God.
This will mean repentance. This week, God wants us to kneel down and to humbly admit our sin and wrongdoing as individuals and churches.
Isaiah reminds us that God's thoughts are as superior to ours as the heavens are above the earth. Will we allow Sligo16 to become a space for deep and genuine repentance? Will you join me in asking for the mercy of God for ourselves, for our churches and for our land?
Repentance leads to blessing, to peace and to joy. The promises of God flow from a repentant heart. Charles Finney said, "A revival is nothing less than a new beginning of obedience to God."
Revival flows out of humility. It is a moving away and a turning away from sin. It means that we become a different sort of man or woman. God is calling us to that in these days. God is always calling us to take responsibility and to repentance.
As we do this, I believe God will open the windows of heaven and pour out a deeper blessing.God invites us to receive His truth and to let His word and His Spirit go deep into our lives and to shape us for kingdom purposes. Can we ask God to make us hungry this week? Can we position ourselves before God that we can come ready to be changed?
Are we willing for God to adjust the way we think? Abraham had to leave his homeland. Moses had to stop being a shepherd. David had to kill Goliath. Jonah had to overcome prejudice. Matthew had to leave his job as a tax collector. Saul had to change his name and his entire life's work. We cannot move to the new place that God calls us to and remain as we are. We have got to be transformed.
When God moves, change is here to stay!
Sometimes there are things we have got to say and do. There are mind patterns that have to change. There need to be seismic adjustments in how we do life. Paul got it. He said, "I have been crucified with Christ…"
Our spiritual core is who we are deep inside when no one is looking. This week, let us take responsibility. Let us repent. Let us receive more of God's truth and so much more of His Spirit.
This week let us rejoice at some of the things that God is doing in Ireland in these days. God is at work in Ireland. There are stories of people coming to faith in Christ. There are stories from all over Ireland of people being healed. Let us expect that God will release a new anointing for us to share Christ so that we will see hundreds of thousands of people brought into the kingdom.
Let us expect that the fire of God would fall on this week upon the people of God and we would go out from this place "dripping" fire!

VELA Deployment
VELA, now known as BIM 360 Field, is mobile app that allowed Building, Construction, and Design information to be used in the field and creates one place for all Building Document Information. The implications were a significant reduction in redundant information, re-work, and increase in information collaboration and sharing on the Construction Project. This was a model for Deployment of VELA for Balfour Beatty's NorCAL and Pacific Northwest Region.
Passing on Knowledge Successfully
Ultimately, VELA was successfully deployed throughout the two regions and has significantly reduced. Much of it had to do with shepherding the information, making sure training had been done effectively and mentoring trainees.

In a tragic accident a woman has died after falling into a vat of molten chocolate in a sweet factory.
The mother-of-two, Svetlana Roslina, was ground to death by the machine after she fell into the tank at the Sergiev-Posad confectionery plant near Moscow, Russia.
A local source described what they witnessed during the horrific occurrence, relaying the gruesome detail that all that was left of the poor woman, was her legs sticking out of the vat.
They said:
She was minced, only her legs were left.
There are several different accounts as to how she came to be lodged in the tank in the first place, including speculation she dropped her phone into the container and reached in try and get it.
Other theories include that the 24-year-old woman, was emptying ingredients into the tank full of sweet mix, when she lost her balance.
Another source said:
The girl was dragged in when she was trying to empty a sack.
The ill-fated worker leaves behind her husband Vladimir and two young children under the age of five.
A local resident said:
A young woman died at the confectionery plant in Fedortsovo. I live here and can see the plant out of my window.
At 6pm there were police cars and a hearse. People are saying that she dropped her phone in the tank and tried to get it but was dragged in there.
Our thoughts go out to her family and all those affected by this dreadful accident.

Botox and Dysport are used for eliminating fine lines, wrinkles and creases that form with repetitive muscle movement.
The repetitive movements of our facial muscles create lines and wrinkles that become deeper and more prominent as we age. Treatments with Botox and Dysport weaken the muscles that create these lines, resulting in a smoother appearance of the skin. Common treatment areas include forehead creases, frown lines and crow's feet. Dosing requirements depend on your age, muscle activity, desired outcome and current skin condition. Both men and women receive Botox treatments and results with our skilled nurses are always natural!
Hyperhidrosis is a condition of overactive sweat glands resulting in excess sweat. Botox and Dysport can be injected with a tiny needle into areas such as the scalp or underarms to reduce embarrassing excess perspiration. The average dose for this treatment is 50 units of Botox per underarm area. Dosing for the scalp and other areas is determined at consultation. Results from Hyperhidrosis treatments can last up to 9 months.
Botox and Dysport appointments take approximately 20 minutes. Immediately after your treatment, there may be small areas of redness at injection sites, which usually resolve within 15-20 minutes. After treatment, you can immediately return to work and all other social activities. Botox and Dysport treatments are recommended every 3-5 months to maintain a smooth and subtle appearance.
dermal fillers
Dermal fillers combat the effects of aging, gravity and volume loss.
Dermal fillers combat the effects of aging, gravity and volume loss. Everyday we use our facial muscles to express emotions, and over time, these muscles lose mass. Gravity, genetics, weight loss and pregnancy can also change our facial proportions, leaving gaunt cheeks, thin lips, or sunken eyes. Wrinkles then begin to appear as the skin loses elasticity.
Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers bond with water molecules in the dermis to plump from within and visibly fill out features, providing a youthful, rejuvenated look. Results are immediate and can last anywhere from six months to a year depending on the product used and the treatment area. We offer a range of Hyaluronic acid fillers from Galderma and Allergan including Restylane, Restylane Refyne, Restylane Defyne, Restylane Silk, Restylane Lyft, Sculptra, Bellafill and more!
During your consultation, we'll advise you if volume restoration with dermal fillers will help achieve your aesthetic goals, which of our products and services would work best, and how long your results are likely to last.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- While tech watchers had been locked in on expected earnings reports from the software sector, a surprise shakeup at Compaq grabbed the after-hours headlines.
The Houston-based PC maker named a new chief financial officer and announced it would cut 5,000 workers, or about 7 percent of its total work force. To further trim costs, the company said it would integrate its business and consumer products divisions. In total, the company said it expects to save at least half a billion dollars annually. But for the first quarter, Compaq will miss profit targets. See full story.
In the software sector, Oracle sounded the all-clear for the third quarter but said that future growth is still tied to broader economic woes. The database software company announced quarterly results that matched a previously reduced profit and revenue target. See full story.
On Wall Street, tech stocks held gains through midday trading but then faded; the Nasdaq slipped quietly below the psychologically significant 2,000 level. This comes as many investors hope for an aggressive interest-rate by the Fed next week.
Overall, poor economic data increase the chances for rate cuts that make it cheaper for U.S. companies to do business. And making business costs lower gives hope for improved earnings and near-term stock-market gains.
It all points to a better chance that the Fed will be forced to slash rates by at least half a percent when it meets next Thursday. Many on Wall Street are hoping for an even more aggressive 0.75 percent rate cut. See full story.
The Nasdaq Composite Index ended the day down 31 points to 1,940.
Chip stocks succumbed to gravity as the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index lost 6.2 percent. See full story.
Texas Instruments TXN, -0.51% closed down 3 cents to $31.48 after it added 600 employees' names to the massive tech layoff roster Wednesday. See full story.
Memory maker Micron Technology MU, -4.46% fell $2.22 to $41.30, while National Semiconductor NSM, +0.00% closed off 70 cents to $24.15. Lattice Semiconductor LLTC lost $1.88 to $43.06.
Networking and telecom companies held gains, including WorldCom and Cisco Systems CSCO, -0.68%.
Gains in shares of Finland's Nokia NOK, -0.57% lent support to the advance. The stock closed up almost 15 percent, or $3.15, to $24.95 after executives told investors the company would meet earnings targets, although revenue targets were cut.
WorldCom WCOM, +0.23% shares eased from earlier highs but closed well higher, rising $1.13 to $17.56. The advance comes on the heels of its 8 percent rise Wednesday, after the company reported that it remains on track to make its first-quarter numbers.
The Washington Post reported that Bell South is seeking to buy Sprint FON, +0.00% and its wireless Sprint PCS unit PCS.
The paper also said SBC Communications had held talks with WorldCom about a possible merger, although no talks have taken place in recent weeks. Sprint shares gained 5.5 percent, or $1.14, to $21.70, while shares of the PCS unit added 61 cents, or 3.2 percent, to $19.51. See telecom coverage.

WARRANTY UPGRADE -- Street Grade Polyurethane, Torq R6/R7 Rear Engine Mount (SURE0505, SURE0509)
Component(s): Street Grade Polyurethane
Product(s): Torq R6 (SURE0505) & Torq R7 (SURE0509) Rear Engine Mount
Application(s): 2006–2007 Mazdaspeed 6 & 2007–2012 CX7
Affected Date Range: August 2011–November 2013
SUMMARY: The smaller diameter bushing of the Torq R6/R7 fastens to the transmission case. Heat from the transmission penetrates the Street Grade polyurethane bushings. When exposed to heat over an extended period of time, the lifespan of the bushings was reduced (more information).
CONCERN: Due to exposure of extended cycles of heat, the Street Grade polyurethane bushings may fatigue at an accelerated rate. Because of this, a reduction in performance or breakdown of polyurethane bushings can cause increased noise and vibration in the vehicle cabin.
REMEDY: SURE Motorsports will upgrade affected bushings to the new Class 1 polyurethane compound at no charge. The Class 1 bushing is the new SURE Motorsports Street Grade polyurethane. The Class 1 compound has improved rebound properties by increasing compression strength and material memory. Heat tolerance has increased to 165 degrees Fahrenheit operating with a peak of 210 degrees. This new bushing has accompanied new Torq R6/R7 Engine Mounts starting November 2013. New additional Class 2, Class 3 bushings will be available in 2014 for vehicles over 300 WHP.
ACTION: Inspect the Torq R6/R7 bushings for signs of fatigue. Contact SURE Motorsports to process a warranty.
NOTES: None

Housing disrepair complaints with a Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council property
Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council has the legal duty to provide you, as a council house tenant, with property repairs and maintenance to ensure an adequate standard of living. Just some of the issues under their remit include:
- Roof repairs and fixing broken guttering, downpipes or external drains
- Providing full access to hot water, heating, electricity and gas
- Removing defective brickwork and dangerous electrical wiring
- Solving issues revolving around damp, mould and fungus caused by disrepair
- Providing pest control if vermin is entering the property through disrepair
Though some of these may seem like minor problems, leaving aspects of a property in a state of disrepair can make a lot of issues worse over time and potentially introduce serious dangers into a homestead.
Plumbing problems with sinks, toilets, baths and other sanitation equipment can easily develop into more major issues, and could even go as far as affecting the structural integrity of parts of the building. There is also the possibility of build-ups and accumulation of damp and mould, which could introduce certain health issues to both young and adult tenants.
Should I make Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council aware of my housing complaints?
If you feel there are issues that need to be resolved surrounding housing disrepair then, yes, you should alert Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council as soon as possible. During emergency situations they can be contacted on 01709 3369009 where they claim a four-hour response time for 'Life or Limb' situations or end of next day for urgent jobs. Non-urgent repairs can be requested online and may take up to 28 days to be resolved.
What are my options if my housing complaint has taken more than 28 days to resolve?
If you feel your housing complaint hasn't been dealt with effectively by Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council or your property is still in a state of disrepair after a certain time has passed, you could make a housing disrepair claim for compensation and the repairs in question through a housing solicitor.
To find out more about your rights as a tenant and to get a free initial assessment of your claim, contact CEL solicitors today on 0808 273 0900 or 0203 925 4551; or email email@example.com

Nonprofit Headshots in Oakland
Earlier this Summer we worked with a nonprofit in Oakland that was interested in updating their website with natural light headshots of their entire staff. After consulting with their creative team we worked out a convenient location near their downtown office and coordinated a handful of shoot dates. On the day of our shoot, we worked with each employee closely to find poses and expressions that were comfortable for them and provided each person with 5 to 7 final edited images for them to choose from.
Check out some of the results below. We're pretty excited about them! For more information about our portrait and headshot services and how we can work with your staff, fill out our contact form and we can discuss your project.

Help – Buying From Our Site
How do I buy products from your online shop?
Buying products online is very similar to buying them in a supermarket! You place items you want in a basket, which you then take to a checkout. These are added up, and you pay for them. Our online shop also has a basket and a checkout, and works in exactly the same way!
How do I add items to my basket?
This is very easy. Simply go to the product you want to buy and click the [BUY] button just underneath the price. This will update the number of items in your basket (check the basket icon in the upper right hand corner of the website).
I want more than one item. How do I buy multiple items?
If you want more than one copy of the same item, simply enter the quantity required into the [Quantity] box which appears alongside the [BUY] item on the basket popup or basket page. When you enter in a different quantity, the price alsonside your product will change immediately to reflect the quantity you have requested. If you want a number of different items, then just repeat the process of adding items to your basket as many times as required. Alternatively, you can change the quantity in the basket after you have added them. Just make sure you check the [Update basket] button before you go!
How do I view the contents of my basket?
You can view your basket at any time by clicking either the [Basket] icon iwhich is always at the top right-hand side of the page (even if you scroll down).
I've added an item to my basket, but I want to change the quantity. How do I do that?
To do this, go to your basket. From here you can amend the quantity by typing in the required amount in the [Quantity] box.
- If you click [Update Basket], it will update your basket and recalculate all the amounts.
I've added an item to my basket, but I added the wrong one. How do I remove it?
Go to your basket, and click the small [X] icon by the product you wish you delete. You will be presented with a popup box asking for a final confirmation for the removal of the item from your checkout.

Virtually all of my friends are involved in some form of art. A few do it for a living, but most do not. Of those that have "normal" jobs, families, etc, most of them face the same problems. It's hard to find the time to do anything meaningful with your art. Even when time is available, one often feels guilty that other tasks are being ignored (repair work around the house, helping with chores, playing with the kids, etc). That kind of takes your heart out of things.
It seems impossible to think someone can do this sort of thing part time and be at all satisfied with the results. Maybe others have it figured out. Maybe there is nothing to figure out. Either way, gotta keep working at it… I don't even play the lottery.
