Imaginarium/FoxNext Games Announce Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier!
Written By: Kenneth Seward Jr.
Date: 08/18/2017
It was only a matter of time before we got a Planet of the Apes game. With the recent movies doing so well and how big the franchise is in general, it makes sense to capitalize on this Universe. The Imaginarium Studios – a premier performance capture studio for film, television, and video games – and FoxNext Games have partnered to do just that.
Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier is a narrative adventure game that takes place between Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War for the Planet of the Apes films. Players will be able to play as both sides of the growing conflict; the destiny of each species rests on the player. Well…to an extent, given how the events of the War for the Planet played out.
"We are committed to exploring and expanding next-generation storytelling, and Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier represents an exciting marriage of technology and creativity, all set in a rich universe of which I am very proud" said Andy Serkis, Founder of The Imaginarium.
Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier will be available this fall on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Workers who think they're being bullied at work can apply to the Fair Work Commission for an order to stop the bullying. Workplace bullying can also be a breach of health and safety laws. State and territory health and safety organisations may decide to respond to complaints about workplace bullying and can prosecute for breaches of health and safety laws.
Bullying is when:
Bullying behaviour may involve, for example, any of the following types of behaviour:
However, in order for it to be bullying the behaviour must be repeated and unreasonable and must create a risk to health and safety.
Bullying does not include reasonable management action carried out in a reasonable manner.
Reasonable management action may include:
However, these actions must be conducted in a reasonable manner. If they are not, they could still be bullying.
The Fair Work Act has different rules to stop bullying and discrimination.
Discrimination happens when there is 'adverse action' because of a person's characteristics like their race, religion or sex.
Bullying happens when someone repeatedly behaves unreasonably towards another person or group and that behaviour creates a risk to health and safety. The behaviour doesn't have to be related to the person or group's characteristics (race, religion, sex, etc). The behaviour also doesn't need to be an 'adverse action'.
Any person who is:
1. The worker makes an application
To commence the claim, all the bullied worker has to do is complete and submit the Fair Work Commission Form F72 and pay the application fee which is (currently) $65.50. There is no time limit for lodging the application but the worker must still be working at that business.
2. After the application is lodged
The Commission has to 'start to deal' with the application within 14 days after it is submitted.
The Commission will then send an application to the employer, the alleged bullies and their employers (if different) and their representatives. It will also require that the employer and the alleged bully complete and return their response to the claim.
3. Dealing with the application
Once the commissioner has received all the information it will notify the parties of a time and date for them to attend a mediation, conference or hearing.
If the matter is sent to mediation then it can be resolved by agreement between the parties. If it isn't resolved at mediation it can proceed to a conference or hearing.
If a matter goes to a conference or hearing then the Commission will determine the application and make an order that the parties must follow.
The Commission will only make orders if it finds that:
The Commission has the power to make any order that it considers appropriate (other than compensation orders) to prevent the worker from being bullied further at work.
The type of orders that are made by the Commission could include requiring the bully to stop the behaviour; requiring the bully to be monitored by the employer; compliance with, or review of, an existing bullying policy; and so on.
Any person or business who contravenes an anti-bullying order will be exposed to a civil penalty of up to $10,200 for individuals and $51,000 for corporations per contravention.
The anti-bullying laws may be a useful tool for employees who want to continue to work in the organisation or business. Practically, it may be difficult for employees who are working in a small to medium sized business to obtain results. This is because there may be no opportunity for employees to be separated from one another. Whist the Commission can make an order to prevent bullying, it is difficult to compel people to be nice to and work alongside one another.
The anti-bullying laws are also an inappropriate tool for workers who want to leave the organisation and get compensation for the bullying. In these circumstances it may be more appropriate to bring a breach of contract claim, an alternative claim in the Fair Work Commission or to lodge a WorkCover claim.
When considering the terms of the order the Commission is required to consider whether there was / is any procedure available to a worker to resolve the grievances or dispute, as well as the final or interim outcomes of any other investigation (if applicable). It is possible, however, for a worker to go straight to the Commission and by-pass any internal grievance process that the employer may have.
In the event that the matter is not brought to the employer's attention it may be difficult for the employer to investigate the matter, assess its validity and take the appropriate steps to resolve it. It could therefore be an unnecessary use of time and money in a situation where the matter could have been managed and resolved internally.
Further, the Fair Work Commission is a no-cost jurisdiction which means that, other than in limited circumstances a party will not be ordered to pay the costs of the successful party. Given that the cost of lodging the application is relatively inexpensive vexatious or unmerited claims could be lodged. For example, a complaint could be made by an employee who is being performance managed for poor performance or misconduct as a tactic to prevent any adverse consequences of the performance management.

Everyone's putting up holiday decorations. Black cat cut-outs in the window, fake ravens perched on a railing, giant and not so giant spiders, surrounded by dense webs dangling from the ceiling. And more spiders. And MORE spiders. And a spider that just ran behind the lamp! Hey, that's a REAL spider! What's with all the spiders inside at this time of year??
First, you should know most spiders won't hurt you. They are probably more afraid of you then you are of them. After all, you're used to being inside but it's new to them! There ARE spiders that are dangerous to people. Some, like the large and hairy Tarantula obviously look dangerous and it's no news that you need to keep away. But other spiders might look harmless, but can actually be very dangerous. If you ever see a spider outside, stay away and don't try to touch or catch or move it. If you ever see a spider inside, immediately call for help from someone who knows how to safely remove the spider.
But it's important to remember spiders are not 'bad'. Like everything else on Earth, spiders have an important job. They eat many, many insects that could cause harm to people or the food we eat or the houses we live in. Actually, that's about the only job spiders have – eating. I once knew someone who acted the same way in the lunchline….
But back to why there seem to be more spiders inside now than at other times of the year. Simply, they're looking for somewhere dry and warm, and probably searching for another spider so they can lay eggs in a safe place. We don't know what the spiders think (and I wouldn't want to know – maybe creepy, creepy stuff!), but they probably don't like being inside. During the Summer most spiders live in places we usually don't see them – in dark, dry, hidden areas often near the ground or other areas where an endless supply of insects can be found. Inside, it's too clean and there's too much activity and not enough food. Bad conditions for adult spiders, but perfect protection for laying eggs that will stay dormant until the Spring.
As soon as it starts to get really cold – below freezing – most of the spiders we see now will be dead or hiding somewhere. They aren't made to live in the cold. So if you see any spiders inside, know they probably are just looking for a warm comfortable place. But don't offer them the guest room. They probably want to lay eggs that will result in MANY MORE spiders this Spring. And that's not something you want inside your house!

New senate research committee defining its role
The University Senate's new research committee is continuing to define its scope, its mission and its interactions with other University committees — including counterparts in the Senate as well as the University Research Council and the provost's policy review committee.
The committee, instituted in May as part of a Senate standing committee reorganization (see April 30 University Times), began meeting in August and is setting a course under co-chairs Penny Morel and Patrick Smolinski.
The research committee plans to review an updated draft mission statement at its November meeting.
At the committee's Oct. 23 meeting, Michael Spring, immediate past president and Senate executive committee liaison to the research committee, noted that the current mission statement calls for the committee to focus on matters related to research University-wide — both funded and non-funded — but leaves the committee great flexibility to decide which issues to focus on.
Spring urged the committee to ensure that it has an early opportunity to review proposed policies that would affect faculty, citing a pair of recent administrative "debacles" that raised widespread faculty ire: A proposal to require faculty to sign intellectual property rights assignment agreements (see Sept. 11, 2014, University Times) and travel policy changes that would have required faculty to register their itineraries when traveling abroad on University business (see May 14 University Times).
Difficulties could have been avoided had a Senate committee been able to provide the faculty perspective on potentially problematic aspects before the policies were presented to the faculty at large, Spring said.
"I don't think there's any animosity, but I think there's sometimes a lack of strong faculty focus, and that's what this committee provides," Spring said.
George Huber, interim vice provost for research conduct and compliance and a chancellor's liaison to the committee, confirmed the value of the research committee's input: "I think the provost looks to this committee as a key focus group representing faculty."
Huber said he hoped that the research committee would be involved in reviewing the University's planned response to a federal proposal to streamline Institutional Review Board (IRB) processes nationwide. Comments on the notice of proposed rulemaking are due Dec. 7. (See Sept. 17 University Times.)
The work of the provost's policy review committee is another area of interest to faculty. Headed by Mark Redfern, vice provost for research, the committee is reviewing intellectual property/patents, copyright and conflict of interest (COI) policies through a trio of subcommittees.
Spring said the University Senate is especially interested in reviewing any proposed changes to the University's COI policies "while they're still in malleable form."
The subcommittee chairs will be invited to an upcoming research committee meeting to discuss their work.
The research committee's next meeting is set for 1 p.m. Nov. 20 in 156 Cathedral of Learning.

I am a true skeptic when it comes to anything to do with weight loss in a bottle. Not to mention I am extremely sensitive to most of what is currently out on the market. When I heard that Lovidia was all Natural product with no stimulants, I thought why not give it a try. I really had no expectations of it working. My main goals were changing my current lifestyle from unhealthy to making better healthier choices (food and exercise). I kept waiting to notice being jittery or agitated in the first couple weeks; nothing happened. What I finally noticed after a couple of weeks I am no longer having to force myself on portion control. I was actually beginning to feel full before I finished my smaller meals and remained satisfied for longer periods. Now instead of being famished at "snack time" I am actually having to remind myself to have my healthy snacks in between my meals. I am happy to report that I currently down 25 lbs with the aide of Lovidia and halfway to my weight loss goal. I keep a bottle in my desk at work and one in my purse and if I accidentally forget to take it – there is an APP for that! My phone sends me a reminder. I recommend this to all my friends, why not regain your control over hunger

I don't have many friends, but lots of people I am friendly with. A lot of that has to do with my definition of a friend.
I suppose it all start with the fact that I am an only child of working parents. No siblings and a naturally shy disposition meant that I am very comfortable being on my own. Growing up in Dubai also meant that movement outside of the neighbourhood or building was restricted due to the lack of public transport. Till I was 9, there were neighbourhood kids, but after that it was just school.
Of course I had friends in school, and we spent much time speaking on the phone. But those friendships haven't endured into adulthood. There are several reasons for that: first, keeping in touch wasn't easy, as we moved to different parts of the world. Second, with the few I did keep in touch with, I couldn't interact too much, because my family went through a tough time. Third, I moved to India, away from my life as I knew it.
College in India was no cakewalk, and I had all kinds of misconceptions. The kids are judgemental and selfish, and so insecure that they were resistant to outsiders. Outsiders like me. I made few friends here, and those ended up being in constant competition with me.
At some point, I gave up the idea of having a true friend. A true friend is someone I think of in a crisis. One that wipes my tears, while telling me how abysmally stupid I've been. Who fights in front of me, instead of cowering behind. And frankly, when I am in a crisis, the only people that spring to mind are my folks.
Then I joined my current company. I am friendly with the people here, but are they my true friends? I think they are wonderful, and I do share stuff with them. But yet, they have no idea of who I really am.
Case in point: I offered to courier cake to two of them in Bangalore. The response I get is so incredulous and suspicious, albeit in a humorous way, that I was taken aback. I do stuff for people all the time; just under the radar. I am generous with my time and stuff, and yet I got incredulity.
"Why are you being so nice, Karishma? What's the game here?"
It is funny, no doubt, but because I am still so broken up inside, it hurt just a little. It speaks volumes for our so-called friendship that I can't say it did though.

Nissan Vanette - The Frog Van
Since then the son has upgraded to a better class of vehicle and the Frog van is now my pride and joy (well it's mine anyway and it's more of a 'project' than a 'pride and joy')
Long time readers of this blog will know I was the proud owner of a 1971 Chrysler Galant. 'Was' being the operative word. Whilst I really loved that car a van is actually more suited to my needs. I'm definitely function over fashion when it comes to cars.
With a little bit of 'mist' in the eye I sold the Galant - for a very nice profit I might add. Enough to recoup the money spent on purchasing the Galant and getting the Frog van back on the road. As well I bought a much needed set of retread tyres and some nice wheel trims (or 'hub caps' if you prefer) too.
The van is a 'project' because I hope to do the thing up and turn it into a basic camper van that can still be used as a load carrying vehicle if need be. Hence anything I add into the back in the way of tables, beds etc. MUST be able to fold up out of the way as much as possible.
As a small move in that direction I've added a padded seat to the top of the metal tool box that is currently fixed permanently inside the van. It's just the right height to sit on and will be ideal when partnered with a planned fold out table.
Long term I'll be installing power points for recharging my laptop which will eventually have 'mobile' Internet. When that happens I truly will be able to work from anywhere. Well anywhere that has mobile Internet coverage anyway. A step closer to my dream of becoming my name sake, The Extraordinary Tourist.
In the mean time I'm learning more about cars. After the van became mine I discovered it didn't like traveling up steep hills. Seriously it was like 'the little engine that could', "I think I can, I think I can..."
I thought it might have been an issue with a dud spark plug but I was talking to my partner's brother one day (who knows more about cars than I) and he mentioned it might be a fuel pump issue.
At the time I was sceptical because I knew the carburetor wasn't having any trouble filling with petrol but my spark plug theory turned out to be a dud so I moved on to the fuel pump suggestion.
Turned out a vacuum hose attached to the fuel pump had split at each end breaking the seal. I replaced it and the van hasn't had any problem going up steep hills since. I would never have thought to even look at the fuel pump - left to my own devices.
For the most part the van now runs fine however starting it for the first time on any given day can be a bit hard. It turns over confidently but struggles to fire. I'm thinking an oil change may help since I've been told the oil wasn't changed even when the cylinder head was pulled out and fixed. Who knows how long that oil's been in there since, prior to that, the van had been sitting in some one's garage/driveway for ages.
It still also runs on every now and then when you turn off the key. Again an oil change might help. I don't know really but it couldn't hurt.
If you know anything about four cylinder carburetor engines and the symptoms sound familiar to you feel free to share what you know in the comments. I'd appreciate the help.

Nursing home association ventures into day-care realm
The American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging and the National Adult Day Services Association said Monday they formed a strategic alliance to provide expanded advocacy, education and research to the adult day community.
"Adult day services are integral for ensuring options for aging and disabled individuals to continue living in the community while receiving healthcare and social services that improve quality of life and reduce costs," said Larry Minnix, president and CEO of the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging.
As part of the partnership, adult day-care education sessions will be expanded at AAHSA conferences and the two organizations will coordinate advocacy activities. An April 3 session at AAHSA's Future of Aging Services Conference will discuss how to integrate person-centered care into adult day services.
Also, NADSA will move into AAHSA's Washington headquarters. A NADSA representative will be invited to serve in the AAHSA House of Delegates and an AAHSA representative will play a similar role in NADSA's governance structure.

- It is recommended to try and complete the course in the first semester of school, but you do have both semesters if needed. You MUST have a minimum of 3 assignments out of 12 complete by Jan. 15th to avoid an INCOMPLETE on your January report card however, and a minimum of 7 by April 15th. All twelve must be complete by June 15th.
- Times indicated are suggested "ball park" rough estimates of the time needed to complete but will depend on many factors: ability to focus, number of stop/start times, how well you read instructions for the assignment, how involved you get in the assignment (remember that these are directed at planning and thinking about YOUR future--feel free to spend more time if needed/desired), technical difficulties with computers etc., availability of resources such as family to ask questions of, etc.
1. Grad Program + Living Planet Report (1-2 hours)
2. End in Mind (5-6 hours)

Everyone starts with 100% in both Planning and Environment & Sustainability. As long as you fully complete everything and respond to feedback given when you submit assignments you will keep this percent. If not, it will go down accordingly. Do your best and focus on quality and you will do great.

How Much Pocket Money Does a Freshman Need?
The biggest freshman class ever is headed to college in a few weeks. But there's one big issue that many parents have yet to resolve: How much should they give their kids for spending money?
It can be mind-boggling to think that the kid will require even more dough after you've paid thousands of dollars in tuition, room and board, purchased a new computer, and budgeted for books and transportation. How much can a teenager really need, other than necessities like toothpaste and shampoo?...

Guest posts are a feature of WOA blog that present the experiences and viewpoints of Arts students, alumni, staff and faculty. The views and opinions expressed within these posts are solely those of the authors.
I always knew I wanted a career where I interacted with people and helped them live healthier and more positive lives. What I didn't know was that I would end up spending most of my Friday nights at the Edmonton Institution for Women, volunteering as a mentor. I started volunteering there in the fall of 2014 and immediately connected with the women staying at the institution.
From there I began to research and seek out people who could tell me more about what working in corrections was really like and what opportunities there were in the field. I have investigated and considered many different options including primary worker, parole officer, corrections officer, caseworker and social worker. While all these careers seem very exciting, none of them seemed like a definite fit for me.
But then I did a Law and Enforcement Career Crawl at the U of A and met a probation officer… and something clicked. When I think of myself as a probation officer, I get really excited and feel a sense of reassurance of where I want to be, and a lot of that has to do with my three days spent at the Edmonton South Adult Community Corrections, shadowing probation officer Kristen Luciow during the U of A Career Centre's Job Shadow Week.
Being a PO is more than just "babysitting" offenders, it is about making sure they are given the right type of supervision, services and counseling to succeed in the future.
Kristen has really opened my eyes to what it means to be a probation officer. As Kristen describes, being a probation officer is about "protecting the community by monitoring offenders within the community and contributing to their rehabilitation and reintegration." Being a PO is more than just "babysitting" offenders, it is about making sure they are abiding by their court-ordered conditions and ensuring they are given the right type of supervision, services and counseling to succeed in the future.
I have seen Kristen go the extra mile for her clients, such as when she spent countless hours helping to find a qualified counselor who would do one-on-one domestic violence counseling, as her client has a job that requires her to travel out of town and can not attend group sessions. I have also witnessed how effectively she deals with difficult clients and can still remain calm and professional.
From answering dozens of telephone calls from other probation officers' clients as the acting duty officer and having to record every detail of the conversation, to meeting with clients' family members who show up unexpectedly at the office, Kristen makes being a probation officer look like a piece of cake.
If one day, I am fortunate enough (fingers crossed) to work as a probation officer, I hope I can handle my job and the stress that comes along with it as well as Kristen does. I know that despite all the stress and sometimes emotional aspects of the job, both Kristen and I believe that witnessing someone's rehabilitation and knowing that you played a small role in helping them achieve those positive changes is the most rewarding part of being a probation officer.

ELINA – Creator of DIBI AMIGURUMIS
Elina Hiltunen, author of the Dibidogs Amigurumi book, chatted with three fourth-graders, Heini, Emilia, and Anni, about the book and how it came about.
Q: How old were you when you became interested in crochet? A: I got into crochet four years ago, when I was 38.
Q: What, in your opinion, is your most successful crochet project? A: Since I like dogs, I think my crochet dogs are fun.
Q: Where did you get the idea for the Dibidogs crochet book? A: I know Jim, whose kids invented the Dibidogs. We were having coffee and talking about my interest in crochet when Jim suggested that I do a crochet book on the Dibis. I immediately got excited about the idea!
Q: Whose idea was it to ask the Finnish president's dog, Lennu, to become the patron of your book? A: We were sitting with the book's production team at a planning meeting and were trying to come up with a good patron for the book. The king of the Dibidogs is a Boston terrier and I remembered that the presidential couple's dog is the same breed. So that's how we thought of asking Lennu to become the book's patron.
Q: Why did you decide to donate one euro per book to assistance dogs? A: Since there are a lot of dogs in Dibidogs, it was natural to support assistance dog activities. They do really important work, like helping people with physical handicaps. So far, we've collected enough money with the book to fund two new assistant dog puppies!
Q: How did you come up with all the crochet patterns in the book? A: Because I wanted the book to help people to learn to crochet, I just developed easy patterns off the top of my head. Once you learn to crochet with the help of the patterns, you can start to crochet the Dibidogs and other Dibi characters.
Q: There's a photo of you with a puppy in the book. Do you have several dogs? A: In that picture I'm holding Uno, our Labrador retriever. My family also has an old Labrador named Elvis and a miniature poodle named Barbi.
Q: What is your favorite character in Dibidogs? A: Definitely the 'Bad guy' dog with the hat!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Q: Where did you get the idea for skateboarding Dibidogs? A: My son Otto suggested that Dibidogs could skate on miniature skateboards.
Q: Did your family help you a lot with the making of this book? A: My children helped me with ideas for the crochet characters. The news anchor Emily and Trickster the Magician were my children's ideas.
Q: What next? A: We've just had the book translated into English, and there are versions in French and Chinese coming up – possibly also in Japanese and Korean. So we've got our hands full!

Under Florida Marchman Act, treatment for substance abuse may be voluntary or involuntary. A person can seek assessment, and possible treatment for substance abuse voluntarily and enter treatment on their own. Involuntary treatment under the Marchman Act applies to patients who may need services for substance abuse treatment but refuse to seek out those services for themselves. A petition can be filed under the Marchman Act if someone is impaired by their substance abuse that forces them to receive treatment. The petition must show:
- The person no longer has any self-control regarding their substance use.
- Substance abuse has impaired a person's judgment, and they do not see a need for treatment.
- A person has harmed, threatened, attempted to harm or is likely to harm themselves or someone else due to substance abuse.
Florida Marchman Act for Non-Family Members
Under the Marchman Act, a spouse, blood relative, treating physician, or three people who know about a person's substance abuse can force someone to be treated for substance abuse. Florida Marchman Act includes an option for non-family members to make this request because some people do not have any family to make such a decision for them. If a person is underage, the only people who can make an involuntary request are a minor's parents, a legal guardian, or a treating physician. However, a minor may seek voluntary admission for substance abuse without the consent of parents or a guardian.
Petition for persons who refuse to seek substance abuse treatment
A petition only needs to be filed if the person refuses to seek substance abuse treatment voluntarily. The assistance of an attorney is not required to file a request with the court under the Florida Marchman Act, but there are attorneys who specialize in helping people through the process required under the law. A law enforcement officer can also place someone in protective custody under the Florida Marchman Act if they do something in a public place that makes the officer believe they could need substance abuse treatment, or if they do something that attracts the attention of the officer.
After a petition is filed with the court, a hearing is held before a judge to decide if a person will be held involuntarily for five days to decide whether they need treatment for substance abuse. After the assessment, a recommendation is made to the court and another hearing is held. At that hearing, the judge can decide whether to order the person to remain in treatment for 60 days. The judge can later extend the treatment period by another 90 days. If the person leaves the treatment program, they are ordered into court to explain to the judge why they left. The person can return to the program voluntarily and participate in the substance abuse program. If they refuse to do so, they may be forced back to treatment or they can be put in jail.
The release procedures
The procedures for the release of a person receiving substance abuse treatment under the Marchman Act are also different from those for a person who seeks treatment voluntarily. Only a qualified professional can release a person who was involuntarily ordered to get treatment for their addiction. Otherwise, a judge must issue a court order for the person to be released. The facility providing the substance abuse treatment must notify the people who requested the treatment about the release. A person who has been involuntarily ordered to receive substance abuse treatment can make a request to the court that questions the reasons and legal authority for their treatment. Explore the options available if an important person in your life is struggling with substance abuse. Sometimes a qualified intervention can get a loved one into treatment without the heavy hand of the Marchman Act.

The language is so bad and as they were singing — singing right? Was it talking or singing? Right? But the language was so bad
Isn't it amazing that when Jay Z and Beyoncé use the filthy language they use in the songs – using words that if I ever said those words, it would be the reinstitution of the electric chair, right? Right? It's true. They use these words, and then she comes on and hugs them, like everything is right. And yet with me, 'He's very lewd.' It's a new word, you know, 'lewd.' I've never seen anything like it in my life.

I've loved Maybelline foundations since I first used one a few years ago and lately I'm really liking their Dream Mousse Blush. Using advanced technology to "air-whip" the mousse, the Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush is a very light and easy to apply cheek tint. It's perfect for people like me who don't really put that much make up every day but would like an easy to apply cheek color should the outfit or occasion call for it.
With a "dreamy" formula that creates a unique and silky texture, the Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush is a no fuss, no stain cheek application. It blends well with my skin and usually a small amount is enough for a few hours. The effect is a luminous yet naturally radiant finish. I also love the fact that I have 6 shades to choose from: plum, mauve, coral, dolly, pink, brown, and peach satin. My current favorite is the peach satin shade which I think blends well with my fair skin tone.
According to Maybelline, the Dream Mousse Blush is dermatologist tested, hypoallergenic, and will not clog pores. I don't know if it's the same with you but since I started using it I've had no problems with pimples, allergic reactions, or anything else so it must be true. Feel free to share both your experiences with this product, both positive and negative, so everyone can know.
By the way, this product is also fragrance-free, perfect for people who like me who hate makeup with scents.

Shiseido Company, Limited; Shiseido introduces a new and completely distinctive product range to market, WASO from Brand Shiseido. Designed for Millennials, the range has been crafted with authenticity at its core. Through WASO, Shiseido is redefining beauty – empowering Millennials to feel beautiful in their own skin whatever their gender, nationality, age or status.
WASO leverages the long standing expertise and innovation that Shiseido is known for through its exclusive formulas. The time has come to challenge the status quo and change the conversation about beauty. We believe that true beauty defies stereotypes and we believe in the power of the individual and the power of nature. We believe that all things beautiful come from nature.
Introducing WASO, a new product range from skincare experts Brand Shiseido.
What does WASO mean? The name WASO is drenched in authentic, Japanese heritage. It originates from a combination of two words, "WA" meaning a Japanese sense of peaceful, harmony, and "SO" meaning inspiration, idea and thought. What is WASO? It is skincare inspired by Japanese aesthetics.
WASO is more than just a skincare line for Millennials. The new product line, and the campaign, champions beauty-from-the-inside-out.
To celebrate the new approach to beauty, WASO features five unique faces who are the brand's ambassadors; their unique personalities and positions bring WASO's counter-culture to life and change the perception of what's pretty.
Shot by Viviane Sassen, the WASO campaign places the new faces in the Japanese wilderness, creating strong images that represent the beautiful force and power of a generation. The contrast of dramatic backdrops with the group of diverse, confident and youthful faces creates a striking and simple portrait that is uniquely WASO.
Further propelling WASO's vision is Julian Klincewicz, creator of the campaign's video content "on the Road Routine", whose art consistency challenges creative boundaries. Selected not only because he is a master of many talents – videographer, art designer, fashion designer and creative collaborator – but also because of Shiseido's dedication to creating an authentic voice for a new generation. At 21 years of age, Julian represents Millennials, the driving force and lifeblood of all that WASO embodies.
Dvein, a collaborative collective that pushes the limits of live action and CGI storytelling, helmed by creative directors Teo Guillem and Carlos Pardo are the masterminds behind WASO's Global Launch film. The film is a celebration of the key ingredients in each of the WASO products. Dvein have created a mesmerizing launch film that puts the ingredients at its heart and showcases them in their natural elements alongside the wonders of technology.
About the Range
Every component of the product's formula utilizes safe ingredients based on Shiseido's own unique standards. Patch tests under the supervision of dermatologists have been conducted. Skincare is food for the skin, and we never compromise on its quality.
Shiseido has designed a unique method for formulating whole botanical cells into the WASO range, to deliver a total skincare solution, called Whole Cell Release System W. (for moisturizers). Designed to treat the needs of Millennial skin, the product range resolves skincare concerns like dryness, oiliness and visible pores.
With Japanese ingredients as key ingredients across the range, WASO products contain:
- Ninjin (carrot) – the moisturizers infused with the power of carrots nourishes skin, and keeps it feeling soft and plump.
- Biwa no ha (loquat leaf) – the moisturizers infused with the power of loquat leaves, hydrate and mattify skin so it has less visible pores and suppresses shine.
- Tofu – the skin smoother infused with the power of soy lecithin, refreshes skin so you can feel its smoothness immediately.
- Shiro-Kikurage (white jelly mushroom) – the lotion infused with the power of white jelly mushroom delivers hydration to plump skin from within*. *epidermis
- Hachimitsu (honey) – the cleanser infused with the power of honey removes impurities and refreshes skin, without stripping away essential moisture.
The Millennial attitude toward life – and skincare – is already disrupting the beauty world. WASO's ultimate ambition is to change the way beauty is seen and made, encouraging people to fearlessly embrace who they are… naturally. Millennials today are young-makers, doers and thinkers and they deserve skincare that is anything but traditional.

I really wanted spaghetti bolognese from anywhere that served it. And what do you know? There was a Strada just outside the cathedral! Woohoo! It looked so posh from the outside that we didn't know whether we were allowed in or not (I had trainers on) but thankfully we were allowed in.
|Outside Strada
They were still serving their Christmas menu. But my mind was definitely set on the spaghetti bolognese!!
I ordered a salad - the Insalata Spinaci. Looking at it again makes me want to have one right now. That's how good it was. Nice vinegarette. Spinach was beautiful. And the avocado and sun-dried tomatoes were lovely too.
|Insalata Spinachi
Miss Rock ordered the Polo Milanese. Unfortunately she didn't like it. She said the fried chicken was burned, she only the centre part. The spaghetti was ok (but I could tell she didn't like it because she didn't discuss the sauce with me). Telling from her looks, she didn't enjoy her meal. Hmmm. I think we'll eat sushi next time.
|Polo Milanese
I think I am happy to have ordered my Spaghetti Bolognese. I did enjoy it. But I didn't like the sauce. Having been to a local Italian in Camberwell recently (Gusto) the tastes were far apart. The sauce here was ok but didn't have the sweet taste that I like in bolognese sauces. It lacked that Italian feeling! Well, I did finish as I was hungry.
|Spaghetti Bolognese
Next came dessert. Miss Rock and I both ordered ice cream. We were allowed to have two scoops of different flavours, so Miss Rock had pistachio and vanilla, and I had the pistachio and hazelnut. Hazelnut tasted good. Pistachio was so-so.
|Pistachio and Vanilla ice cream
|Pistachop and Hazelnut
Total cost came to around £37. Miss Rock took the receipt, and I can't remember the exact total. Expensive for all of that!! Plus service was slow for a Saturday post lunch period.
My geeky rating: 3.5/5
Good points:
- Nice starter
- Ok seating arrangements
- Polite waiters
Bad points:
- Slightly burnt food from Miss Rock's plate
- Food was average not spectacular
- Needs a sign in the restaurant to indicate the toilet...Couldn't see it from where I was sitting
- Although we had polite service it was awfully slow for a Saturday!
Address: 4 St Pauls Churchyard, London EC4M 8AY
Telephone: 020 7248 7178
Soon after we finished eating we saw this great piece of sand art along South Bank.
|Bart Simpson in the sand XD
p.s. Since blogging, I have noticed myself judging food and explaining it to others a lot more than I used to... I've also noticed my friends, like Miss Rock, have started to become more opinionated about what they eat. ¬,¬" Is that a good or bad thing? Probably a good thing, it means you can get several opinions!

I found a wonderful interview with David and his longtime friend/collaborator John Sayles on the PBS show Charlie Rose from back in 1999. Here David and John discuss their latest film LIMBO where David played the part of "Jumpin" Joe Gastineau, and the benefits of working together for so long. The other films David and Sayles did together include EIGHT MEN OUT where he played the part of Eddie Cicotte, the pitcher of the infamous 1919 Black Sox scandal in baseball, MATEWAN where David played Sid Hatfield, PASSION FISH playing Rennie, BROTHER FROM ANOTHER PLANET playing a Man in Black, RETURN OF THE SECAUCUS SEVEN playing Ron, and CITY OF HOPE playing Asteroid. Please enjoy and comment if you like.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a safety warning that advised against the use of laparoscopic power morcellation for the removal of the uterus or uterine.
The warning was prompted after current data showed that laparoscopic power morcellation for removing the uterus (hysterectomy) or uterine fibroids (myomectomy) poses a substantial and hidden risk of spreading unsuspected cancerous tissue, specifically uterine sarcomas, beyond the uterus.
What is power morcellation?
A power morcellator is a surgical tool used in several laparoscopic procedures. With Laparoscopic power morcellation being one of numerous treatments available for fibroids (non-cancerous tumors that develop in the uterus). During the procedure the device – which has rotating blades – is used to separate the uterine tissue into smaller pieces so it can be suctioned through a small incision made into the abdomen of the patient.
Most women develop uterine fibroids at some point, according to the National Institutes of Health. But in most cases fibroids don't cause problems, but they can cause symptoms that can require medical and/or surgical therapy.
How is the cancer spread?
When reviewing the data, the FDA determined that an estimated 1 in 350 women undergoing hysterectomy or myomectomy for fibroid treatment have an unsuspected type of uterine cancer, uterine sarcoma. In these women, if power morcellation is performed, there is a risk that the procedure will spread the cancerous tissue into the abdomen and pelvis which can significantly exacerbate the cancer.
The manufacturers been instructed by the agency to review their current labeling for accurate risk information for patients as well as health care professionals. Below is information that patient's should know and consider if they are undergoing this procedure.
FDA recommendations for Women:
All options should be addressed with a health care professional including all associated risks and benefits of having this procedure.
If a health care professional recommends laparoscopic hysterectomy or myomectomy, ask if power morcellation will be performed during the procedure and why that is the best choice. It is imperative that you do your research and ask questions.
When a patient undergoes a hysterectomy or myomectomy for fibroids, the tissue removed during the procedure is generally tested for cancer. For women who have already had a procedure where a power morcellator was used, it is crucial to follow up with your doctor, especially if there are persistent or recurring symptoms.
Agency recommendations for health care professionals can be found on the FDA Web site.

Guest post by Jessica Kukac, Environmental Systems Coordinator. For more information, contact Jessica at 705-734-6363 ext. 11338 or email@example.com
Did you know that elementary schools can produce 20 to 40 kg of waste in a single day, and more than double that in a secondary school? It might not seem like a lot, but there are over 180 days in a school year and over 100 schools in the Simcoe County District School Board.
The SCDSB is committed to environmental awareness and practice in all aspects of education, including formal curriculum, daily operations and even the way we build our schools. In adhering to the SCDSB's Environmental Policy, we promote environmental consciousness in all aspects of school culture.
Lunches are a great way to turn environmental curriculum into action, while making healthy food choices and saving money. A lunch packed with reusable items is 45% less expensive and contains 89% less waste than a lunch packed with single use items. The average family spends about $100 per year per child on single-use packaging materials such as plastic wrap, baggies, foil and wax paper.
How much will your child eat?
If you're packing a lunch for your child for the first time, you might not be sure what to pack or how much to pack. A "boomerang" lunch, where uneaten food or waste material is returned home, is a great way to determine how much your child can eat, what they like or don't like, and how much garbage that lunch produces.
Involve your kids
Tired of doing it yourself? Get your kids to help! This is a great way to spend time with your kids and get them thinking about healthy, earth-friendly lunches. Here are some waste-free lunch tips:
Choose the right containers – If you are using plastic containers, be sure it is BPA-free. BPA, or Bisphenol A, is an industrial chemical used in making plastic that could potentially seep into food. Stainless steel (food grade) is also a good option. Avoid glass; although it's a great option, it's breakable.
- Make sure the lids are leak proof
- Use a lunch bag that can be wiped out or even put in the dishwasher
Choose healthy foods – it can be a long day at school so make sure your child has the brain power to make it through the day.
- Whole grains, blueberries, tomatoes, broccoli, avocado, carrots and spinach are excellent sources of brain fuel.
- Make your own muffins, granola bars, cookies, puddings and apple sauce. Freeze large batches to make it more convenient for packing lunches.
Remember that some things might be more difficult for your child to eat when you are not around to help.
- Cut a small slit into bananas or oranges to make peeling easier.
- Pack pre-cut fruit and vegetables for easy eating and less waste.
If your school doesn't have a green bin, ask your child to bring home organic waste. Did you know it can take up to two years for an apple core to break down in a landfill? It only takes 9-13 weeks in a municipal composting system.

Agency Info
The Department of Homeland Security has a vital mission: to secure the nation from the many threats we face. This requires the dedication of more than 240,000 employees in jobs that range from aviation and border security to emergency response, from cybersecurity analyst to chemical facility inspector. Our duties are wide-ranging, but our goal is clear – keeping America safe. Our duties are wide-ranging, but our goal is clear: a safer, more secure America, which is resilient against terrorism and other potential threats.
The vision of homeland security is to ensure a homeland that is safe, secure, and resilient against terrorism and other hazards.
Three key concepts form the foundation of our national homeland security strategy designed to achieve this vision:
- Security,
- Resilience, and
- Customs and Exchange.
In turn, these key concepts drive broad areas of activity that the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review (QHSR) process defines as homeland security missions. These missions are enterprise-wide, and not limited to the Department of Homeland Security. These missions and their associated goals and objectives tell us in detail what it means to prevent, to protect, to respond, and to recover, as well as to build in security, to ensure resilience, and to facilitate customs and exchange.
DHS InnoPrize Program-Prize Competitions
"Challenges to Keep our Nation Safe-Your Solutions"
In March 2015, the DHS Science and Technology Directorate introduced the InnoPrize Program to assist DHS in planning and executing prize competitions that enable a transparent and fresh approach to operational challenges, problem solving, and spurring innovation. For each competition, program managers will use a strategic approach to determine prize topics, innovation gaps or other intriguing problems that are best suited for a prize competition. A well-defined problem or question will be posed to the public along with specific criteria. Innovative problem solvers are encouraged to contribute promising ideas, products, prototypes, and solutions for judging.
Winning solution(s) are then assessed based upon the stated competition criteria using a diverse set of practitioners, end users, engineers, subject matter experts, and other industry or R&D leaders as judges. This not only helps to ensure that the submissions are evaluated properly but also helps to determine if the desired results can be achieved, its marketing potential, and the proposed solution's use as a standalone innovation or as a part of a government project.

PREP CAPSULES: Playoff hopes coming down to cases
Staff Report
It's not quite gut check time… at least for most of the teams in the River Region.
But a few have key regional contests while others are heading into the two biggest weeks of the season.
Start with the Robert E. Lee Generals, who are back in the same spot as last year (prior to the forfeits) with a chance to all but secure a home date in the first round of the playoffs regardless of what happens next week. In the way is what has become a big nemesis in Auburn, which is in the same boat - a win means a home game to open the playoffs.
Alabama Christian has a perfect record (7-0) but will face arch-rival St. James without starting quarterback Reece Solar. It was a huge test already for the Eagles but can they overcome the adversity?
Despite a bad record at 1-6, G.W. Carver can move closer to a playoff bid with a win over Stanhope Elmore this week. Ditto for the Mustangs who opened the season losing the first three games but have since won three straight.
A few teams such as Park Crossing and Wetumpka have a warm up prior to huge games next week.
Week 8
Top Picks
R.E. Lee at Auburn
Preddiction: Auburn 31, Lee 27
Stanhope Elmore at G.W. Carver
Preddiction: Carver 20, Stanhope 17
Alabama Christian at St. James
Preddiction: St. James 24, ACA 21
Also this week…
Park Crossing at Dothan: With Lanier looming, is this a trap game? Nope. T'Birds win easily. PCHS, 41-10.
Helena at Wetumpka: The warmup before the big finish. Indians, 38-16..
Elmore Co at Dadeville: Panthers in need of a big win. They get by a hair…Elmore Co, 21-20.
Autaugaville at Ellwood Christian (Thur.): Eagles best chance for a win this season. It would be easier if it was at home. Autaugaville, 19-15.
Coosa Valley at Evangel Christian: Lions get their first win of the season… Evangel, 14-13.
Pike Liberal at Hooper Aca.: A win keeps the Colts' playoff chances alive. Nothing like pressure to help a team play better… Hooper, 30-27.
Other games: Central-Phenix City over Jeff Davis, 31-13; Marbury over Dallas Co., 23-17; Montgomery Academy over Southside-Selma, 40-6; Pike Co over Prattville Christian, 34-20; Montgomery Catholic over Ashford, 45-14; Trinity over Bullock Co., 29-16; Tallassee over Holtville, 30-12; Billingsley over R.C. Hatch, 20-14; Autauga Aca over Clarke Prep, 45-10; Tuscaloosa Aca over Edgewood, 35-12; Patrician over Lowndes Ac., 29-13; Macon East over Cornerstone, 35-30.
