This summertime flower arrangement is perfect if you're looking for a way to use the rest of your fresh pineapple rind. It also can add just the right touch of tropical paradise to any summer get together! Having a pineapple corer/slicer like this one makes this arrangement a lot easier to put together.
To begin, core out your pineapple- saving the fruit and juice for this delicious cocktail. Once you have your pineapple cored and drained, fit the hole to a regular size drinking glass (medium height and skinny is best, slicing out a little of the inside of the pineapple if needed), or a small cylinder vase- if you have one.
Choose bright colored flowers to go along with the green & yellow of the pineapple skin. You will want to buy a wide variety of flowers to fill the entire diameter of the vase. This way your arrangement will be dense, and you will not be able to see down into the core.
Arrange and cut your flowers as needed to fit the glass/vase. Be sure to trim the stems to different heights to make the arrangement balanced.
Enjoy the floral and fruity fragrance, and take a sip of that cocktail for all your hard work!

You are probably one of the many students right now who are still weighing your options as to the next step you will take after graduation. Will college be a good option, or can you try other ways for you to join the music recording industry that you've always wanted to be a part of?
When you work in today's music recording industry, it means that you will have an opportunity to brush shoulders with top musicians and recording artists. There are actually numerous careers in this industry, such as the music producers who guide the shape of sound, and the sound engineers who capture the sound.
The music business these days is starting to lean toward the online realm, it has become essential that you learn as much as you can about the music recording aspect of the business as much as possible. Online digital music distribution has no doubt changed the landscape of the modern music business. The technologies used have also grown and improved a lot. Musicians are now required to have a good knowledge about these modern technologies, some of which include different software programs. With the rise of the virtual world means the need to be more familiar with software on top of being skilled when it comes to the usual hardware based technologies.
The mentor approach has become a preferred option right now because the moment the students graduate, they become engineers. There are constant changes in technology but as far as the music recording industry is concerned, it changes backwards.
This mentor approach is proven to work, and the best thing here is that you will be getting a real world learning experience, which can be in a music recording school in Los Angeles, in New York, or anywhere you can imagine.
There are now plenty of students who attended college and did a mentor program afterwards to get further learning. There are some students who claimed that during their apprenticeship, they were able to meet a lot of big names in the industry, and that they are thankful that such program exists to help them fulfill their careers.
There are a lot of things that these mentor programs will teach you that you cannot or do not simply get from a traditional school. The curriculum it follows makes the graduates qualified for positions such as a recording engineer or music producer.
The students are being taught in one-on-one private sessions inside a recording studio. This is an apprentice style program that is under the direct supervision of a professional in the music industry who works on real world projects. There is also no need for any experience, and students can attend classes during the weekends or at night.
Teachers who act as mentors in the industry of music recording know the secrets to becoming successful in this rather extremely competitive field of engineering. This is what inspires them to pass on their experience and knowledge to their students, and create a win-win situation for both parties.

The Thin-Blue Web: Police Crime Records of Internet Trolling Show Chivalrous Attitudes That Can Be Resolved through Transfer of Powers
Jonathan Bishop
This chapter using an empirical data-driven approach to investigate crime recording logs of South Wales Police relating to Internet trolling by and towards different sexes. The chapter finds more favourable attitudes towards women as victims in even the most trivial of cases. It finds male victims of trolling are only treated as victims when a form of unwanted face-to-face encounter is needed for action. The chapter shows transferring police powers to local authorities, can cut the cost of community policing by 50% across the board and eliminate sexist attitudes also. The chapter finds that the way social media platforms are exercising 'sysop prerogative' where they have no right to – such as not passing over account information on alleged defamers – puts a huge burden on police resources. Using local authorities, which have many of the same powers as the police and indeed more, can resolve problems without the need to criminalise offenders.

Exploratory EIAO off Marquisas Island Trip
Posted 30 August 2012 - 02:01 PM
I am thinking about fishing in April - June depending on weather, but it could be as early as in early Dec this year.
Posted 10 September 2012 - 12:01 PM
I am thinking about making a trip to EIAO around early Dec between the trips.
Based on info I got, I am going to have a great trip once we get to EIAO.
Posted 14 September 2012 - 02:46 AM
I am going to fish from Dec 3 to Dec 9.
I plan to add two days fishing around Marquisas Island. There are lots of GT and dogtooth tuna around Marquisas Island.
If weather cooperates, I am sure I catch big GT and dogtooth tuna there.
I can't wait.
Posted 22 October 2012 - 01:26 PM
Capt says there are lots of small yellowfin tuna, but we are gong to concentrate on big GT and dogtooth tuna on this trip. I don't see any problem to catch lots of fish there, but the airfare from NY to Nuka Hiva of Marquisas Island is not cheap and it takes two days.
Here is fishing schedule:
1st day early navigation to Eiao departure around 5 am – arrival before 12 noon – landing and camp installation (shore fishing)
2 boat fishing
3 boat fishing
4 boat fishing
5 Packing and Navigation return to Nuku Hiva.
I am debating whether to add one more day to Eiao trip and to fish one or two day around Marquisas Island.
Capt say GT fishing around Marquisas Island is very good .
Posted 22 October 2012 - 11:46 PM
I'll bring 10'6" Black Hole surf rod for GT from shore.
1st day early navigation to Eiao departure around 5 am – arrival before 12 noon – landing and camp installation (shore fishing)
2nd day: boat fishing
3rd day: boat fishing
4th da y: boat fishing
5th day: boat fishing
6th day: Packing and Navigation return to Nuku Hiva.
7th day: fishing or sightseeing in Marquisas Island
8th day: leaving Nuku Hiva for the US
Posted 02 March 2013 - 02:33 AM
The long waited EIAO trip finally ended today when we arrived at Huku HIva on a 43 sail boat after fishing 4 days around EIAO Island.
EIAO became well known outside of the world when fishing and hunting episodes in EIAO were broadcast in France three years ago. Our Capt Xavier guided the show crew.
Xavier has guided for fishing, diving, hunting and filming the Island since 1980.
We originally planned to sleep on a beach in tents, but he suggested an idea to bring a catamaran sail boat for sleeping along with his fishing boat. I agreed with his idea as It is pretty tough to sleep in a tent for several days for 65 years old body though it cost more and it turned out to be a great idea.

Cant wait for the report

Internet access is very limited in Marquises. I am going to post pictures and explain later.

The story describing the meeting between a Russian lawyer and the staffers from Trump's campaign during the 2016 election cycle was only an interesting story but Donald Trump Jr. should have revealed the meeting sooner, said former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly
O'Reilly posted a video on his website saying, "So the story is that Donald Trump Jr. and his brother-in-law Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort, who for a short time managed the Trump campaign, met with a Russian attorney who knows people in the Kremlin shortly after the Indiana primary — which pretty much sewed everything up for Trump as the Republican nominee."
"Now, the story is interesting," O'Reilly said. "It's interesting. Is it any more than that? No, not at this point."
O'Reilly pointed out that few cable news channels described Trump Jr.'s meeting differently.
"But if you look at CNN and MSNBC," O'Reilly said, "Oh, Russian collusion! All of that. OK, fine."
"You knew they were gonna do it," he said.
"You knew the reason The New York Times dropped it when Trump came back was thinking of another news cycle here, they could resume the Russian collusion narrative. That's what's in play. Keep it going, keep it alive."
"Now, I don't know what happened," he said. "Trump Jr. says he met with the woman because she had, she said she had some kind of dirt on Hillary Clinton. And so they met with her, and she didn't have anything and they talked Russian adoption for 20 minutes, and everybody split."
"OK, did that happen?" he asked. "Is that true? I have no blankin' idea. That's what Trump Jr. says."
"He shoulda said it three months ago! You know, get it all out! Any Russian restaurant. Any Russian movie. Anything! Get it out!!"
The New York Times published the story about Trump Jr.'s meeting Sunday, awaking some Trump critics to accuse Trump Jr. of committing treason.
Since this story emerged Trump Jr. hired a legal counsel and denied the allegations, saying that the meeting was only an effort to get opposition research, which all campaigns do.
The meeting was uncovered when Kushner revised his declarations on a form required to gain security clearance. Kushner added previously unrevealed meetings, including the one with Trump Jr., Manafort and the Russian lawyer.

Reports Criticize Pandemic Planning
Flu Readiness Check Finds Gaps In Care, Coverage
September 21, 2009
by Rob Stein
Washington Post
Many state and local governments are not adequately prepared to deal with a surge of patients in a flu pandemic or quickly distribute vaccine and antiviral drugs, according to two reports by federal investigators being released on Monday.
"The ability to cope with a surge in patients is going to be very spotty," said Kim Elliott of the Trust for America's Health, a nonpartisan research and advocacy group. "Depending on the jurisdiction, preparations can range from probably mediocre to really bad."

During the last weeks of August, Harvard Forest LTER hosted 20 teachers in a newly created Ecology Research in the Schoolyard Summer Institute for Teachers. The institute, funded by the National Science Foundation (EdEn Venture) and by Green Leaf Foundation, recieved an enthusiastic response from participants.
"Five years ago Harvard University published a report with a plan to save the forest; the vision would return the forest to its natural state through a massive clearing project coupled with other measures like controlled burns. Now it appears that the state is ready to carry out the vision articulated in the Harvard study"

Harvard Forest's Annual Seminar Series begins September 24, 2004 at 11:00am, with new Post Doctoral Fellow - Rob MacDonald
A full schedule which is continually kept up to date is now available.

Edited by John Aber, This special issue presents 11 papers that report in detail on results from the first 15 years of chronic nitrogen additions to two contrasting forest types at the Harvard Forest.
A team of Harvard Forest researchers recently obtained a sediment core from Benson Pond, which is located in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts. Undeterred by rough roads, inclement weather, and thick pond-side vegetation, Masters of Forestry student Posy Busby, Undergraduate (REU) student Sarah Truebe, Elaine Doughty, Bullard Fellow Matts Lindbladh, and Wyatt Oswald collected nearly 6 meters of sediment.

Massive Copyright Infringement – By Darwinists?
Carl Heinrich Bloch: The Sermon on the Mount. Image courtesy of Wikipedia. Jesus also taught about copyrights.
Joel Kontinen
Did Jesus have anything to say about copyrights? Yes, He did. When some Pharisees and Herodians tried to trap Him so they could report Him to Pilate, the Governor, they asked whether they could pay taxes to Caesar.
"But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, 'You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? Show me the coin used for paying the tax.'
They brought him a denarius, and he asked them, 'Whose image is this? And whose inscription?'
'Caesar's,' they replied.
Then he said to them, 'So give back to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's.' " (Matthew 22:18-21).
According to Genesis, we have been created in God's image. He wants us to acknowledge this truth and live to bring Him glory.
Darwinian evolution attempts to blur our view of whose image we are and to whom we are accountable. In other words, it does not accept God's right to that what He has created but attempts to infringe his copyrights.
Scripture passage from the NIV.

Daniel Hochbaum
Staff Attorney at Advocates for Children of New York
After graduating from Loyola, Daniel Hochbaum was selected through a highly competitive process to be an Equal Justice Works Fellow, sponsored by the law firm of McDermott Will & Emery. As an EJW, Dan ran the Learning Disabilities Project within Equip for Equality's Special Education Clinic. Dan's project was designed to represent low income and minority students with Learning Disabilities in Chicago. During his fellowship, he provided self-advocacy assistance to teach families about their rights, community outreach in Chicago's neighborhoods, and direct representation to families at special education meetings and in other legal proceedings. After completing his EJW Fellowship, Dan accepted a staff attorney position at Equip for Equality, where he continued to represent special education students in Chicago Public Schools.
Currently, Dan is a staff attorney at Advocates for Children of New York, an educational advocacy organization committed to ensuring that all New York City students have access to a quality education. In this position, Dan represents and advocates for students with disabilities, students facing disciplinary issues in school, students involved with the juvenile justice system, and students involved in the child welfare system. Dan's background in education law and experience working with students who have difficulty obtaining meaningful access to a quality education have provided valuable skills and perspective that are an asset to him in his current role.
While at Loyola, Daniel focused his studies in education and special education law and volunteered with public interest organizations in Chicago. Daniel graduated from law school in 2012 and earned a certificate in Child and Family Law. He attended Loyola following his graduation from McGill University in Montreal, Canada.
In July 2013, Daniel was awarded the Kimball R. Anderson and Karen Gatsis Anderson Public Interest Law Fellowship by the Chicago Bar Foundation in recognition of the exemplary service he provides for low-income families.
The aspect or aspects of the work you find most satisfying:
At Equip, I had the opportunity to follow up with former clients months after we had helped them with their initial concerns. One very satisfying aspect of my work was the opportunity to follow up with a client and learn that the advice or advocacy I had provided was helping the student to make progress and achieve real academic gains. In my current role, I enjoy being able to provide meaningful advocacy to students who might not otherwise have access to a quality education, so their circumstances do not dictate their ability to be successful.
How Loyola supported you in your career development:
Loyola supported me in my career development by offering a wide variety of courses in education and special education law and by helping me establish contacts and internship opportunities in the field. In particular, the Education Law Practicum placed me at agencies where I was fortunate to be mentored by extraordinary attorneys and gain practical experience. These placements also helped me to form a relationship with the office that I ultimately began working at after law school.
Advice to Loyola students seeking opportunities in the field:
Be sure to take advantage of internship and externship opportunities. The more cases you handle before leaving law school, the better prepared you will be on your first day as an attorney. Also, try to learn the law from experts not only at school but through CLEs and webinars on special education law.

This version did not offer enough protection and strength. My support ripped after only the third use.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:
After playing soccer for decades and rolling both of my ankles hundreds of times, I can no longer play without taping or using braces. Let's face it...nothing is going to be as stable (and compact) as a solid tape job. That said, it's a pain to tape it up and then cut it off. And, it can get expensive over time, too. I've tried a ton of different braces. Most are worthless, providing little to no ankle support whatsoever. The ones that do seem to be way too bulky or don't provide enough mobility. This brace is the best thing I've found to date. It provides enough support to cut down on your ankles rolling (unless you have a serious twist) is relatively compact (definitely adds some extra size in your boot though) and is super-easy to put on and take off. I'm so happy with mine (that's lasted a few years now) that I'm buying another set. Make sure you wear socks underneath though, as it can blister your heel during strenuous play/lots of running.
7 of 7 people found the following review helpful:
This really works. I have posterier tibial tendon injury that isn't healing very quickly and this helps keep the pressure off the tendon as well as providing continued support and reduced swelling to my healing ankle. Nice product...a little bulky, but can fit in most shoes.

// (C) 2010 Silversea Cruises
Despite the difficulties of selling travel in a struggling economy, top agents say the demand for small luxury ships has grown and continues to strengthen. While the definition of a small ship has changed drastically during the past few years, the spirit hasn't and, despite ever-growing mega-ships offering an unheard of range of activities, many very successful agents are finding that small luxury vessels are the backbone of their business.An example is Tom Baker, president and partner at CruiseCenter in Houston. Although Baker was placed on the list of the World's Leading Large Ship Specialists by Conde Nast Traveler in 2009, he is passionate about small luxury vessels. He has seen a great increase in requests for smaller ships, especially The Yachts of Seabourn, Silversea Cruises, Oceania Cruises and Azamara Cruises. Baker's company has pursued a policy of making sure they are front of mind with established luxury clients, and it is paying off. "We took a group of 200 Crystal clients to dinner and closed almost half a million dollars in business," he said. "And we are doing the same with past Silversea passengers."Likewise, Bonnie Habel, president of Fuller Travel in San Antonio, Texas, sees the demand for small ship luxury cruising growing significantly. "Regent is our biggest seller," she said. "With their exceptional all-inclusive package, our clients feel they are getting the most bang for their bucks."Agents say luxury clients are asking to book far in advance to be sure they can get the specific accommodations they want."Some of our clients are quite frustrated because bookings don't open as early as they would like," Baker said.Habel added that guests who don't book well in advance may be disappointed by choice limitations and/or find that prices have gone up dramatically as demand increases. Although a case is made that mega-ships have luxury accommodations and dining and a choice of private areas, the small ships are distinguished by guests' sense of ownership. "Luxury customers are willing to spend a great deal for intimacy and exclusivity," Baker said. "They don't want to stand in line; they want the ship to be like a private hotel, and they want private arrangements on shore." These passengers also value the smaller ships' ability to take them into seldom seen ports as well as the better known ones, to give their guests an authentic taste of local culture rather than following the tourist trail.This was underlined recently by Azamara Club Cruises' announcement of its new focus on multiple nights in ports and multiple-day excursions on shore. Although clients are paying substantial sums for upscale cruises, they are more discreet about their spending nowadays. "They may be keeping it quiet, but they are spending and demanding the best," Baker said.

Gigawave designs and manufactures a wide range of specialised RF (radio frequency) transmission equipment for televised outside broadcasts, news gathering and security applications from its headquarters at the Earls Colne Business Park in Essex. Its products include digital wireless camera systems, featuring microwave links, digital receivers, transmitters and antennas as well as a state-of-theart range of high-definition wireless cameras and microwave links. The company is rapidly expanding into satellite communications, live streaming and motorsport technology.
"Gigawave products have played an important role in the broadcasting of global events such as the Sydney, Athens and Beijing Olympic Games and the MotoGP motorcycle racing series," says Gigawave spokesman, David Earl. "They are also used for electronic news gathering by organisations like Sky as well as command and control solutions for the Hong Kong police force."
An example of Gigawave's capability is the application of its technology in motorsport. They developed a high-definition (HD) on-board camera system that was first used in the 2008 FIA GT Championship and have supplied them for live coverage of many high-profile motorsport championship events, including MotoGP. According to David Earl, "The system enhances the viewing experience enabling viewers to experience the thrill of the ride as if they were actually in the car, and giving the audience an appreciation of the speed involved and the skill and stamina of the drivers."
To design, manufacture and support this growing range of products, Gigawave has developed a team with a depth of operational experience and expertise."Essex, with its pool of highly-skilled electronics workers, has proved to be a good recruiting ground for the high-calibre engineers the company needs," says David Earl. The company's location in Essex is also important for supporting customers in over 100 countries. As David Earl explains,
"Gigawave engineers use London Stansted Airport as a convenient departure point of choice for Europe and other countries where the company's products are used. Stansted is also convenient for customers from partner companies overseas who are visiting Gigawave for product acceptance tests and training courses."
Over the past twenty years, the company has grown from a small specialist antenna manufacturer, employing just a handful of people, to a £16 million technology company with customers worldwide. David Earl comments,
"Essex has played an important role in that success story, with the location, available skills and business infrastructure to support a dynamic global technology business."

A few years ago the developers of Edubuntu that the Ubuntu-based operating system for teachers and students was going to skip the update to Ubuntu 16.04 and stay on Ubuntu 14.04 indefinitely. The two lead developers came to that decision after realizing that after a decade of working on the project, they didn't have time to devote to keeping the operating system up to date.
As an open source project, the developers were hoping that someone else might be willing to step up and take over leadership of the project, but that hasn't happened.
You can still download and use Edubuntu 14.04.5 today, but it's based on a 4-year-old version of Ubuntu. And when Canonical pulls the plug on support for Ubuntu 14.04 in April, 2019 then the latest version of Edubuntu will also be unsupported.

Kate/KTextEditor Picks Up Many Improvements To Enhance KDE Text Editing
Even with KDE's annual Akademy conference happening this past week in Vienna, KDE development has been going strong especially on the usability front. The Kate text editor and the KTextEditor component within KDE Frameworks 5 have been the largest benefactors of recent improvements. This KDE text editing code now has support for disabling syntax highlighting entirely if preferred. When using syntax highlighting, there have been many KTextEditor enhancements to improve the experience as well as improvements to the highlighting for a variety of languages from JavaScript to YAML to AppArmor files.
KStars v2.9.8 released
KStars 2.9.8 is released for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. It is a hotfix release that contains bug fixes and stability improvements over the last release. Also: KDE Itinerary - How did we get here?

The Renaissance
The Renaissance
The Renaissance took place approximately between the years of 1400 AD- 1750 AD. During that time period, there were many achievements in art, literature, and science. Also during this time, scientists were able to observe the natural environment. Galileo and Leonardo da Vinci both lived during this time period.
The Lens
One invention from the Renaissance was the lens. This included the Microscope and the Telescope. The lens assisted in doing work because people were able to get a clear image of items as well as make advances in medicine and hygiene. Previously, people were not able to get a close up view of space or see miniature details.
Social Impact
The social impact of the telescope was that controversy arose between people who believed that the sun orbited around the planets and the people who believed the planets orbited around the sun. With the invention of the lens, people were able to study space and study to make advancements in medicine.
Cultural Impact
Political Impact
The political impact the telescope was that when Galileo said that the planets revolved around the sun, a great controversy grew because that is not what the people believed. Since Galileo was able to improve it, we still use his concept today.
Economic Impact
The Thermometer
The thermometer assisted in completing work by informing people how hot or cold something was, or how hot or cold the weather was that day. It was originally called the thermoscope. The thermoscope was improved on by Galileo and others, because they included a numerical scale. It was then called the Thermometer and it was the first working air thermometer. Before, people could not tell exactly how hot or cold it was, so they just walked outside and said it was dry, cold, "fire dry," or hot. If the doctor thought someone felt warm, he told them they had "fever heat"
The cultural impact of the telescope was that when Hans Lippershey invented the telescope, it was a huge achievement. People over the world started to use them, and astronomers are still using them today.
Galileo was born in 1564 and was a physicist, an astronomer, and a philosopher. He was the first person to use a telescope to look into the sky. When he looked into the sky he discovered that the planets orbit around the sun, not vice-versa. The original inventor of the Telescope was Hans Lippershay, but Galileo made improvements to it.
The economical impact the telescope was that when the lenses were invented, they created jobs because people were then able to study space and make advancements to medicine/hygiene.
Social Impact
The social impact the thermometer had was that people were able to be sure if they had a fever, since the doctor could tell what temperature their body was. Then they would know if they needed medicine or not.
Cultural Impact
The cultural impact the thermometer had was that even though the thermometer was not invented in America, we still use them today. Thermometers are used very often to determine one way if someone is sick or not.
Political Impact
There really was not a law that had to do with Thermometers then, but now some places have laws that say if it is extremely hot or extremely cold, people should not be outside.
Economic Impact
The economic impact the thermometer had was that a lot of people buy thermometers for their houses still, so when thermometers went on sale, they made an impact on economy.

12 Places In Hawaii That'll Make You Swear You're On Another Planet
The Hawaiian Islands are often considered to be one of the most beautiful places in the world, but sometimes, you visit a place within Hawaii that is completely out of this world. These 12 places in Hawaii will have you wondering when you left earth for an alien planet.
Tell us, which of these photographs is your favorite?

I used to think that the key to mastering hairstyles relied upon a certain cocktail of mousses, gels, balms, and sprays… wrong – the secret to success starts in the shower.
That's right, the humble shampoo is more than just a cleanser for your hair – and not all hairtypes and styles are created equal, meaning that shampoos have to differ widely. The best have superpower formulas and carefully curated ingredients lists designed to help you achieve your haircare dreams, however specific they may be….
I spoke to five Beauty Bay staffers to establish the best shampoos for every tress type – here are our picks for long, frizzy, curly, and everything in between…
Curly Hair
Amelia, Copywriter
With long (and heavy) curly hair, I often struggle to create the perfect bounce if you will. Buying into every 'Curl Defining' and 'Frizz-Free' hair product known to man comes with masses of disappointment, yet surprisingly, I think I've found the one. Briogeo's Curl Charisma Rice Amino + Avocado Hydrating Shampoo works to cleanse, hydrate and revitalise. Packed with Vitamin E, Shea Butter and obviously Avocado Oil, the lightweight formula softens and cares for my hair without weighing it down, creating that full, frizz-free spring.
Coloured Hair
Jade, Social Media Executive
In a nutshell, the Fudge Clean Blonde Violet Shampoo is AMAZING. I've been bleach blonde for 15 years, and used this for around 8 of them. Not only does it remove all (and I mean ALL) traces of brassy, yellow tones but it smells amazing and doesn't leave your hair feeling dry or brittle either. I massage it in and leave for around 2-3 minutes (err on the side of caution – it's SO good at toning, super light blondes might end up grey if you leave it too long!) and it without fail, tones my hair back to it's platinum blonde, icy best.
Straight Hair
Rosie, Video Editor
With flat, semi straight hair that tends to fall in the kind of slight wave that suits no one, I straighten my hair every single day without fail. As a result it tends to be damaged and dry at the ends, quickly becoming brittle and dull. The Keratin enriched formula of Wella's Luxe Oil Keratin Protect Shampoo works really well to keep my hair stronger for longer, whilst making it incredibly soft and shiny, too. The mild formula is gentle on my scalp, yet it still cleans effectively – and in conjunction with the Keratin Restore Mask, my hair is the healthiest it's ever been.
Thick Hair
Grace, Beauty Writer
Thick hair can be both a blessing and a curse, and when it's as long and heavy as mine, it tends to feel more like the latter – my hair is so heavy that even with the best volumizing sprays and mousses, I struggle to get body into the roots. That was until my hairdresser recommended I try Alterna's Bamboo Abundant Volume Shampoo, which makes fighting flat hair a much easier battle. It efficiently removes oil and product build-up, creating the perfect base to keep roots lifted and somehow making my lengths feel as light as a feather. Buoyant, bedhead waves are now a daily occurrence – I (and I suspect (at the rate my bottle is emptying), my boyfriend) 100% recommend.
Frizzy Hair
Eden, Marketing Intern
There's only one product that can tackle my lion's mane first thing in the morning: Living Proof's No Frizz Shampoo. My hair is left super moisturised while still having a weightless feel, keeping everything smooth and in MY control. The star ingredient is PolyfluoroEster, an ingredient which protects hair from the elements all day, battling frizz even when it's humid out (Halleluiah!). This is my absolute favourite shampoo – leaving my hair glossy and fly-away-free, and giving my straighteners one less problem to face.
Short Hair
Olympia, Email Executive
I recently dared myself to let my hairdresser chop more than a few inches off my hair, leaving me with choppy above-the-shoulder hair – I LOVE it! The shorter hair requires a new styling routine involving a LOT of sea salt mists, and texturizing sprays since actual beachy waves are unlikely (I live in central Manchester…), however it does mean that my hair can get extremely weighed down and begin to look dull, this until I discovered my new shower hero, the Joico Clarifying Shampoo which gently cleanses away all that product build up, leaving my hair looking brighter, and more voluminous.

Silvery Bells 4
Ananda (Oakland, CA), 8/27/2015
We were looking for bells for our wedding. We really wanted gold but had difficultly finding gold bells so we ordered a couple silver ones to see if it could work. The product was wonderful and we finally found gold bells after we ordered these. If you are looking for silvers this is a nice option!
Great favors 5
Alex (San Francisco, CA), 8/24/2015
These bells are of good quality. They come individually boxed and look like they cost much more than they do. I was very pleased with the order.
Simply Elegant 5
Yolanda (Montgomery, AL), 7/31/2015
Love it! Classy give-a-way!
silver bells 5
Christine (Crestwood, MO), 7/22/2015
the product was very nice quality. I was not happy with the service orientation of the company. I ordered late on Sunday and Tuesday morning decided we needed additional bells and when I contacted the company they were not willing to give me the price for the larger quantity. I likely will never use this company again based on their service orientation.
From FavorFavor: We are happy to hear that you like the product. As for the price, what you neglect to mention is that the original order had already shipped on Monday when you contacted us. At that point we cannot combine quantities for pricing purposes as we need to process a completely separate order.

Novo Nordisk develops treatment for rarest bleeding disorder, seeks FDA approval
PRINCETON, N.J. — Novo Nordisk has filed for approval of a treatment for a rare genetic bleeding disorder, the Danish drug maker said Wednesday.
The company submitted to the Food and Drug Administration its application for recombinant factor XIII compound, for congenital factor XIII deficiency. Current treatments for FXIII deficiency use products derived from human blood plasma, which carries the risk of contamination.
Congenital factor XIII deficiency is considered the rarest bleeding disorder, with only 600 people diagnosed worldwide. Patients with the disease, which results from a lack of the protein clotting factor XIII, have a lifelong susceptibility to bleeding problems, including spontaneous hemorrhages in the brain.
Takeda seeks FDA approval for hypertension treatment
OSAKA, Japan — Drug maker Takeda has filed for regulatory approval of a drug to treat hypertension, the company said Wednesday.
Takeda announced that it had submitted an application with the Food and Drug Administration for the fixed-dose drug azilsartan medoxomil and chlorthalidone. Azilsartan medoxomil is an angiotensin II receptor blocker, or ARB, that lowers blood pressure by blocking the angiotensin II hormone.
"Millions of patients with hypertension do not have their condition under control," said Darryl Sleep, VP clinical science at Takeda Global Research and Development Center. "We believe this compound, the first [in the United States] to combine an ARB with chlorthalidone, could potentially provide an important new treatment option for patients with hypertension and the healthcare providers who manage them."
Humana's PBM division enters agreement with AmerisourceBergen
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Humana Pharmacy Solutions, Humana's pharmacy benefit management division, on Thursday announced it has selected AmerisourceBergen as Humana's primary wholesaler for drug purchasing.
"With this agreement, we'll be able to offer members and employers access to more cost-effective generic versions of clinically proven and popular brand-name drugs," stated William Fleming, VP Humana Pharmacy Solutions.
The five-year agreement takes effect May 1.

text: Hello there,First - nice piece of software, thanks for that. Second - as I am C# programmer, I don't understand well c/c++. Can I please ask You to tell me where in the source is the write to file function? What I need - for input I enter udp://%sourceip%:%port% and QS outputs well to file. When I output to rts or rtsm from time to time I get "PES packet size mismatch", while when I output to file this error doesn't occurs. Anyway I need the output as UDP, so I decided to get the source and catch the buffer which will be written to file, and send it over UDP instead. Your code is too complicated for me, as I didn't saw anywhere how to do it. My closest guess for now is:in ffmpegrw.cpp: // Open the output container file if (avio_open(&m_pOutFormatCtx->pb, m_pOutFormatCtx->filename, AVIO_FLAG_WRITE) < 0) { av_log(NULL, AV_LOG_ERROR, "FFMPEG: Could not open '%s'\n", m_pOutFormatCtx->filename); return MFX_ERR_UNKNOWN; }Here file is created or nulified if already exists, and in the same file: av_new_packet(&pkt, pMfxBitstream->DataLength);I guess it gets the encoded packet and sends it ... somewhere for write. My tries are fruitless for now to get the buffer before it's written to file, capture it and send it over UDP. Please assist me if You have time.Thanks in advance, have a nice day/eve!

Microsoft's U.S. Small Business (SMB) Marketing team wanted to engage with small to medium-sized business owners to prove that their products and services could benefit startups and fledgling entrepreneurs—not just large enterprises.
So we devised the Small Business Mentor Project. The campaign was built to reaffirm that Microsoft is empathetic to the needs of small-business owners and has products that solve problems for them.
The Small Business Mentor campaign was not just an opportunity to blast out a marketing message, but a chance to get into the trenches with the customer and better understand their needs.
These new insights into a customers' needs would help inform future product development and content strategies.
We paired two small businesses, Hudson Pilates and Midas Mount, with business influencers and technology experts who could help the entrepreneurs create and execute comprehensive strategies while implementing Microsoft technology to grow their businesses.
Mentors included Rieva Lesonsky (Entrepreneur Magazine), Barry Moltz (Public Speaker/Author), David Gersten and Bond Consulting Services, and Tara Farbent and Infinity Info.
PACIFIC managed a series of face-to-face and virtual consultations between the mentors and mentees, documenting the dialogues and lessons learned throughout, and translated the sessions into series of articles and infographics to help all small business succeed with the tools and resources offered by Microsoft.
To promote the campaign, we created an eight-week blog post series that focused on personal stories from the participating business owners, interviews with the mentors, and helpful tips for other entrepreneurs.
We then promoted the campaign organically on Microsoft's social channels, and launched and managed paid media opportunities to produce a fully integrated amplification strategy.
PACIFIC coordinated the meeting scheduled and travel arrangements for mentors and mentees, developed agendas for meetings, facilitated and documented each mentoring session.
Blog content focused on practical information and detailed business practices for small companies, as well as articles on how to utilize Microsoft technology to solve common business challenges.
Additionally, we created two infographics to accompany the blog posts: "How to Kill Your Business in 5 Simple Steps" and "5 Tools to Run Your Small Business like a Big One." These infographics later informed both organic and paid social media advertising on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Taboola. We used the hashtag #SMBMentor to promote the campaign and the mentors served as online influencers, which helped generate buzz organically.

Only when we work together towards this common goal can we find the cure we seek. Stand up and support the cause.

Cathey claims to have been on a "top secret" MACV-SOG
Operation (Operation
Tailwind). Despite the fact that he was Air Force and relegated to a desk
job in Vietnam and was never a member of SOG, he claims to have been
contacted by buddies and asked to go on a pass to Saigon. Once in Saigon he
was told that he had been SELECTED to participate in a secret reconnaissance
mission. There would be no military record to show this mission, only a
record of his in-country pass to Saigon. Despite being an AF desk jockey
with no combat training, he asserted on NATIONAL TELEVISION that he was
flown by a civilian helicopter to Laos and put on the ground in advance of a
MACV-SOG operation "to confirm their intelligence". This story is pure BS!!
MACV-SOG did not employ outside
sources for their operations. In order
to have been included on a MACV-SOG mission, months of specialized training
was required. Nobody involved with MACV-SOG would have authorized the use of
non-cleared/untrained personnel for any operation. This guy is another
lying wannabe who is trying to gain some recognition for taking part in
combat missions he never had the intestinal fortitude nor the training to
have participated in.

Headteacher's Newsflash 06/10/17
Ofsted update
As you are probably well aware we were visited by Ofsted this week, I need to be clear that I cannot discuss any judgements that were made on the day as the report is sent off for moderation by another group of inspectors.
The inspection was initially a Section 8 monitoring visit, similar to the one conducted all the way back in November 2016 by HMI Bonenfant, to check the progress being made against the areas for improvement from the last Section 5 inspection in May 2016 when Mr Lonergan was Headteacher. During the course of the first day the lead inspector, HMI Seneviratne, decided that there was enough evidence to convert to a full Section 5.
Once an inspection is converted from a Section 8 to a Section 5 it meant that a school will be judged against all the standards laid out in Ofsted's Section 5 Inspection Framework handbook.
So what now? Well in the next 10 days I will be sent a draft of the report to check for accuracy, the report will then be reviewed, after approximately another 10 days we will then be able to make the report available to you as a parent or carer of a child at the school. Soon after the report goes live on the Ofsted website.
We will of course continue to keep you updated with any news on this and I would very much like to thank those many parents and carers that came into the building to talk about the changes that have taken place over the past 12 months, those parents that called into school and spoke to the inspectors on the phone and the many of you that emailed us to pass your comments regarding improvements to the inspectors. We were overwhelmed by the very positive response.
All we are trying to do is provide the best education we can for your child, we think we are doing the right things in the right way and whilst I totally appreciate that sometimes when I am asking as Headteacher that pupils wear uniform, do homework, talk to other adults and pupils with respect that for some prior to my arrival 44 weeks ago this was not typically asked for and this can cause conflict between home and school I am doing it for the right reasons. I know that there has been a huge change that we are continually raising our expectations for your child and for my staff, but your child deserves a good standard of education and my staff deserve to work in a calm and friendly environment.
I certainly hope that the improvements right across the school and positive changes to our school culture will be recognised because a lot of what has been done and achieved to date is also largely down to the vast support I have received from yourselves right at the beginning of last year when I laid out the expectations of the Red Line; your child's school is about learning.
Attendance matters
I don't think we would have a weekly Newsflash without some mention of attendance.
It is crucially important for us to continue with our great start to this year on the back of the very impressive exam results for GCSE, A Level and Vocational.
We can only continue to improve by making sure pupils attend on a regular basis. Anything below 95% really is not regular, it actually becomes quite concerning and we must all face a really difficult fact that if you are not sending your child to school on a regular basis then you are seriously limiting their education opportunity.
The more often pupils attend, the better they do in their exams.
The better someone's exam grades are, whether they are at GCSE, A Level or Vocational the more options for employment, training and higher education they have.
There are also lots of research studies conducted on people's level of education, their wealth, health and happiness. The studies suggest that the better educated someone is the more likely they are to live longer, have fewer health issues and complaints, earn more money over their life and generally be much happier.
Your children are fantastic, I thoroughly enjoy coming to work every single day because the pupils at this school make it such a lovely place to work.
Please send them in everyday, we miss them when they are off.
And finally…
We have been shortlisted in this year's Educate Awards in the 3 following categories-
- Outstanding Commitment to Sport in a Secondary School
- Communication Award
- Spirit of Enterprise Award
2017 has seen an unprecedented number of entries and the quality across all categories has certainly impressed the Educate judges, making it a very tough decision-making process. Judges this year commented that the standard of entries was so high, that in some categories, you could have made a very good case for shortlisting just about every applicant. Therefore it is already an outstanding achievement to have made the shortlist, not once but three time!

Uncomfortable y Numb
The last week has been extraordinarily relaxing. As soon as therapy was over, we hit the road and headed to our safe house. Extended family time was a great way to recouperate and celebrate the good news. I am so very thankful for opportunities like that.
Shifting gears: I can definitely tell that those G-CSF injections after my last chemotherapy helped me bounce back better. This time: no injections. This time: I'm feeling weaker than one row on a calendar.
See? Even my bad jokes have low blood counts!
Current side effects on tap include getting all bloaty from just about anything I eat, and a noticeable increase in the loss of sensation in my fingertips. The former is annoying, the latter is worrying. Here's hoping the numbness is reversable!
And my heart has again started faster than normal while at rest. Since I've already run into this on a previous cycle I'll be able to keep more calm this time. CALM!!!
All of this has happened before, and all of this will (likely) happen again. Three more times.

In today's fast paced life we tend to believe that it is very difficult to focus and engage our mind completely on the task that we are doing. But this is not entirely true.
Let's understand this with an example. When we are pursuing a hobby, say painting or writing, our focus is effortless and it seems that by an invisible force we are glued to whatever we were are doing. We seem to lose ourselves in time, oblivious of our surrounding. And our brain, at such times, is truly at its creative best.
So, would it not be wonderful, if we had a tool which could help put our brain or in a similar creative zone at our will? This is exactly what a Mind Map Mandala helps us do.
Mandala Designs were primarily the means for practitioners and adepts (in various spiritual traditions, especially Buddhism) for focussed attention. A Mind Map, on the other hand, is a simple but powerful creativity enhancing tool, which helps us engage better with any topic for which the Mind Map is being developed.
"Live Life Colorfully" is a Mind Map Mandala coloring book for grown-ups.
This coloring and self-help book combines in a unique way the ancient art of the Mandalas with the powerful modern concept of Mind Mapping; to first instill a sense of calm and then harness this relaxed state of mind to better handle specific life challenges.
You can experience a higher level of clarity with Mind Map Mandala's and discover your life purpose, achieve goals, manage emotions better and much more by splurging your desired colors on the pages of this book.
The book is Available for pre- ordering now (for limited time) at discounted price on Amazon.in at http://www.amazon.in/dp/1946129186

Principles of Effective Primary Prevention Programs
The Virginia Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Action Alliance has published Guidelines for the Primary Prevention of Sexual and Intimate Partner Violence
The National Sexual Violence Resource Center published a report, Key Findings from A Systematic Review of Primary Prevention Strategies for Sexual Violence Perpetration, summarizing a systematic review of effectiveness of primary prevention strategies by Sarah DeGue et al. (2014). The original article by DeGue et al., A systematic review of primary prevention strategies for sexual violence perpetration, is available in full to the public.
In the article What works in prevention: Principles of Effective Prevention Programs, the authors used a review-of-reviews approach across four areas (substance abuse, risky sexual behavior, school failure, and juvenile delinquency and violence) to identify characteristics consistently associated with effective prevention programs.
- Comprehensive: Prevention strategies should include multiple types of activities, affect multiple settings, and go beyond awareness-raising. Note: prevention is a component of a comprehensive response to violence against women . Effective prevention efforts are those that are comprehensive. There are several models of comprehensive prevention efforts, such as the Socio-ecological Model and the Spectrum of Prevention.
- Varied Teaching Methods: Prevention strategies should include interactive, skills-based components.
- Sufficient Dosage: Participants in your prevention programing need to be exposed to enough of the activities for them to have an effect. You prevention programming needs to happen over a long enough period of time so that the programming impacts participants' knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, and skill acquisition.
- Theory Driven: Strategies should have a scientific justification or logical rationale.
- Positive Relationships: Programs should foster strong and positive relationships between children/youth and adults. According to Erin Casey, "Factors likely to contribute to engagement and interaction include personal relevance of information or presenters, and opportunities to critically evaluate and discuss the content of the presentation (e.g. Heppner, Neville, Smith, Kivlighan, & Gershuny, 1999)".
- Appropriately Timed: Program activities should happen at a time (developmentally) that can have maximal impact in a participant's life.
- Socioculturally Relevant: Programs should be tailored to fit within cultural beliefs and practices of specific groups as well as local community norms. According to Erin Casey, "The use of information and statistics relevant to the local community in which educational programming is implemented is more associated with positive attitude change among participants than more generalized sexual assault content (Schewe, 2002)."
- Well-trained Staff: Programs need to be implemented by staff members who are sensitive, competent, and have received sufficient training, support, and supervision.
- Outcome Evaluation: A systematic outcome evaluation is necessary to determine whether a program or strategy worked.

January seemed to feel like the longest month ever but sitting her now it feels like the past few months have just shot by us. It's been a few months of ups and downs that's for sure.
If you follow me on Twitter you'll of seen that in January I had a few interviews for a job I've been looking for for about 5 years now, I was so excited and both interviews went incredibly well. In February I found out I had got the job, I can't tell you how excited I was, honestly after the awful year I had last year (see here) I'd finally felt like this was the thing that could of saved everything! I'd started planning how much I was going to save a month so Mark and I could move into together, how much I could afford to pay off the loan I'd got for the shop I'd brought last year and I felt like it was the thing that would pull my head up out of water so I could breath again. I was told all I was waiting for was a reference from my old job and once that was done I could get my start date. A few weeks went past and I was having emails from HR with welcome packs ect and then all of a sudden I had a phone call from them saying I no longer could have the position. I was gutted! I couldn't have the position because of the financial crap the shop got me in.
I'm not going to lie and say it hasn't effected me in any way. It hurt, A LOT And it was hard not to let it bring me down but there isn't anything I can do other than keep on plodding along.
I've been advised to put more things I enjoy doing into my life. With money being none existent at the moment I've been trying to fill my days with things to do that involve no money. One thing I need to do every now and again is take 5 minutes to myself, it's hard not to get stressed by day to day life and worry about things out of my control. I've been taking a lot more baths lately and indulging in a few pamper evenings and boy oh boy does it help.
I met a very helpful man last week who told me one way to bring stress levels down is to have nice smells around. He asked me what my favourite smell was and I couldn't give an answer, he told me his was coffee or the smell of a bakery and when he feels a little stressed he tries to surround himself with those smells. I don't know if that's because certain smells bring back memories but I like this idea very much. I like the smell of the air in the morning especially if it's been raining overnight, it reminds me of camping with my dad when I was little, and waking up early in the morning and going outside and inhaling that fresh scent. The other day I took a bath and picked up a bubble bath poured it in and instantly the scent of the bubble bath reminded me of being little, when my Mom would take baths and I used to think they were the most boring things in the world. It was just a really nostalgic smell.
The weather this weekend has been beautiful! The sun was out all weekend and Mark and I took full advantage of that! Friday we went for an "adventure" around our local park - We seem to spend most of our time there lately. We went walking up the hills and got very muddy, took loads of pictures and had a nice chat with a man who used to play in the park when he was young. He was telling us about all the things that used to be there and all the things he got up to when he was little.
Saturday we went back to the park and played tennis and then Sunday we spent most the day in the garden. Mark was doing the gardening whilst I sat there and did nothing. My role was supervisor obviously! But it was nice to get outside and not have to wrap up in layers upon layers. Spring is finally here!Yesterday afternoon Mark and I went out for some exercise. He went for a jog whilst I rode around on my bike. We was only out for around 40 minutes but ouch did that hurt my legs, they felt bloody great afterwards! We've been really getting into our bike rides lately, it's great fun and again costs no money! The bike I have at the minute is a bit dodgy, the breaks tend to not work or squeak ridiculously loud so I'd like to be able to get one I feel comfortable with so we can go for some big bike rides and see different places.
With Love,
Sian x

Hello Parry Tash Ripped Skinny Jeans* $65.00 (available here) | Asilio The Walk of Punishment Coat $399.95 (available here) | Alias Mae Hamlet $89.95 (available here)
I know there's some irony in calling these the "perfectly ripped" jeans, but they honestly are! I've been rocking these Hello Parry distressed jeans so much recently, I'm surprised I (or YOU for that matter!) haven't gotten sick of them. I'm quite picky when it comes to my "rips", they have to be quite strategic and balanced, and of course not too ripped! - too many holes and I start to wonder whether they're even resembling pants at all. Let's just say these are some of my fave "conservatively ripped jeans" of the moment...
Cheap Monday Prime R2 Blue $90.00 (available here) | Bardot Nixon Hipster Jeans $139.95 (available here) | Nobody Denim Cult Skinny Ultra $219.00 (available here)
J Brand 620 Super Skinny Distressed Jeans $350.09 (available here) | Nobody Denim Cult Skinny Slash $219.00 (available here) | Sass & Bide Switch Off Slim Boyfriend Jean $290.00 (available here)
*Just a styling note on these jeans - I'm usually a size 25 in denim, however had to size up to a 27 for these jeans!
Love to hear your fave ripped denim pieces in the comments!
