People Learn From Their Mistakes.
Have you ever made a mistake? Or did something that you regret? I know I have. When I was in third grade, we had finished learning our 1's and 2's times tables. We were going to have a test that day, and I still wasn't grasping the concept. I know they seem easy, but for me, I just didn't understand it. So during the test I just happened to be sitting by one of the smarter kids in my class. He knew all the times tables by heart. So I decided just too casually look over at his paper and copy all of his answers. I ended up getting a 100% on the test, but I felt very guilty.
When I took home my test that day, I showed it to my mom and she was shocked. She knew I had been struggling, so she knew this wasn't my work. Guilt overtook me and I had to confess what I had done. She said that in order to make things right, I would need to go tell my teacher what I had done immediately. I started to cry. I was very nervous about what was going to happen. I thought that maybe she was going to give me an F for cheating. I ended up keeping my grade, even though I wasn't getting it, she admired my act of honesty and let me keep my grade.
Since then I have told myself that cheating is not only wrong but dishonest, and it will get me nowhere fast. Just think, if you are copying off someone else's paper, who are you helping? No one. You will never know how to do something difficult unless you ask for help when you really need it. I most truly believe that. I am now a freshman in high school and have definitely learned from that mistake I made when I was younger.
Although I confessed to what I had done, I will never forget the guilt I felt. It so awful having to come clean to not only my mom but my teacher as well about what I had done. It is a feeling I never want to feel again. If you listen in class and ask questions when needed, it makes things a whole lot easier. You will understand things better, than if you were looking off someone else's paper. There is no reason or excuse for cheating. This I believe.

While it is often believed that innovation occurs in spontaneous and unplanned aha! moments, the truth is innovation is a force of habit. We need to train ourselves to think constantly, approaching old problems in new ways, and recognizing gaps that may not always be apparent. At Infosys, innovation is everybody's job. Our grassroots approach to innovation means it encourages everyone to stay focused on it all the time, rather than in between things. In fact, it is this unique approach to innovation that has made problem finding and solving second nature to us and has helped us set ourselves apart in the industry.
Humans are intuitively wired to identify patterns, form ideas, and create solutions. As children, we're curious to explore how things work and make sense of the world in our own unique way. However, years of training in a certain school of problem solving forces us to unlearn other, more intrinsic methods of the same.Design Thinking unboxes us, marrying both conventional problem solving methods and intuition. The Design Thinking process asks you to first define the problem and then find solutions, while focusing and empathizing with the user who will ultimately benefit from the solution.
Using this approach, we train our employees to think like designers using rationality and creativity in equal measure to design software, processes and strategies; trying, testing, and improving upon new ideas until they serve a clear purpose.
As an organisation that's invested in finding and solving the business problems of enterprises, we believe in putting each of our employees at zero distance from our clients, so that they're completely aligned with their needs. This requires them to not do what the client has asked for dutifully and blindly; but to question, think, and innovate proactively. To do this, we mentor our employees, helping them identify possible opportunities to innovate while on the job. This also bolsters our core philosophy of Be More, as it pushes us to go over and beyond the scope of a prescribed assignment and find newer avenues for innovation and success. The 5-step approach to being at zero distance from our customers:
An idea can come from anyone, anywhere. It is this belief that led to the launch of Murmuration - a first-of-its-kind crowdsourcing event that invites employees to share their ideas on innovation. Each idea is evaluated by a core leadership team based on its potential, viability, feasibility, desirability, and clarity. Some of the best ideas are then integrated into the company strategy. This approach helps us keep the conversation going and encourages an environment that's always buzzing with ideas. It also pushes everyone at Infosys to make sure their ideas see the light of day, instead of just being thought of and never pursued.

Many Fortune 500 companies turn to entrepreneur Henry Cardenas—founder, president and CEO of the Cardenas Marketing Network (CMN)—for his expertise in reaching the Latino consumer. With over 50 million Hispanics in the United States, the companies—aware of the almost $1 trillion in purchasing power of this market—recognize they need to know how to connect with this fast-growing demographic as part of their marketing efforts.
Henry Cardenas has spent the last 30 years managing and producing live entertainment events. At age 17, sponsored by his uncle, he came from Colombia to Chicago—and has lived here ever since. CMN started in Chicago, and has since become one of the leading multicultural event-marketing sponsorship agencies in the country.
This year, CMN will produce over 700 events, including live concerts, grassroots campaigns, soccer matches and mobile marketing events, focused on Chicago and other cities with strong Hispanic populations. Though the events are national, their home and headquarters are in the River West area of Chicago, where they are creating jobs and supporting the local economy. Cardenas came to Bank of America for the basics like treasury management and online banking, as well as to secure an umbrella line of credit; CMN needs working capital to finance large-scale events that have significant upfront costs. The bank team also works closely with Cardenas's senior management to strategize about new ventures. According to Minal Patel, Client Manager at Bank of America, "It's very collaborative. Henry often comes to us with his new ideas, and we serve as a sounding board for him." Cardenas concurs, "I value them as a partner. Bank of America has become a trusted advisor to my organization; their thought process provides input to our key business decisions and growth."
In three of the last four years, Crain's Chicago Business named CMN to its "Fast 50" roster of fast-growing firms. The company has increased its staff by 30% in the last year and a half, and increased revenues by 40% in 2010. During the past several years, Bank of America has partnered with CMN to keep the company on a growth track, and to help develop a strong business plan that will create jobs, and continue to have a positive impact on the local economy.

1104 Rhododendron chapmaniiCommon Names: Chapman's azalea, Chapman's rhododendron Family: Ericaceae (health Family)
Chapman's rhododendron is an evergreen shrub that gets up to 4-10 ft (1-3 m) tall and about as wide. It has an open habit with stiff, slightly ascending branches. The dark green leaves are elliptic, rather tough and leathery, and range from about an inch (2.5 cm) to two inches (5 cm) in length. The flowers, appearing before new growth begins in spring, are rose-pink and exceedingly beautiful. They are funnel shaped, about 2 in (5 cm) wide and borne in clusters. Wild azalea enthusiasts have introduced a handful of named selections and hybrids.
Rhododendron chapmanii occurs naturally only in Florida. It is known in the wild from just five counties in the central Panhandle around Tallahassee, and a single location (possibly introduced) in Clay County in the northern Peninsula. The species occurs on wooded slopes in the transition areas between pine flatwoods and shrub wetlands. Some authorities consider Chapman's rhododendron to be a variety of the more wide ranging Piedmont rhododendron (Rhododendron minus), which occurs in six southeastern states.
CultureLight: Chapman's rhododendron grows naturally in areas with filtered sunlight. Moisture: This wild azalea likes a moist, acidic soil, but not one that is waterlogged. Hardiness: USDA Zones 7 - 9. Propagation: Most of out native azaleas are difficult to propagate vegetatively, and this one is no exception. Cuttings of soft, fast growing stem tips can be rooted in spring (with luck), and seeds can be planted when ripe in summer (usually with better results).
Chapman's rhododendron is one of the most beautiful of the southeastern U.S. native azaleas. It is the only native azalea in Florida that has evergreen foliage, and one of just three species (out of a dozen or so) in the southeastern U.S. with evergreen leaves. A woodland garden with wild azaleas is one of the most charming of gardens, and surely deserves to include this lovely species. I have about a half dozen species of wild azaleas in a semi-shady area at the edge of the lawn, and when the Chapman's is in flower, it gets everyone's attention. Like most members of the genus, Chapman's rhododendron requires an acidic soil, protection from midday sun, and the soil should not be allowed to dry out completely. Rhododendrons have shallow roots and suffer when they have to compete with other nearby plants. Avoid disturbing the soil around rhododendron roots.
Chapman's rhododendron, whether referred to as Rhododendron chapmanii or Rhododendron minus var. chapmanii, is listed by both the U.S. Department of Interior and the State of Florida as an Endangered Species. It is a distinctive species (or variety), with a very limited distribution, and subject to habitat loss. It may not be transported across state lines without a permit. However, the species is readily available from several in-state native nurseries, where it has been propagated artificially, but not collected from the wild.
What's the difference between an azalea and a rhododendron? There are no specific botanical differences between rhododendrons and azaleas that do not have exceptions. Rhododendrons usually have flowers with 10 stamens and azaleas usually have five stamens. Rhododendrons usually have small scales on the undersides of their leaves; azaleas do not. Nearly all rhododendrons have evergreen leaves, but azaleas can be either deciduous or evergreen. The native American species with evergreen leaves are rhododendrons, and those with deciduous leaves are azaleas. Some Asiatic species with evergreen leaves are also azaleas, having five stamens and no leaf scales. Rhododendrons tend to be larger than azaleas, with larger leaves and larger flowers. Rhododendrons usually have flowers that are bell shaped, whereas azaleas usually have funnel shaped flowers. They're all in the same genus, so they're all Rhododendron in the final analysis.
The Florida flame azalea (Rhododendron austrinum), the pinxter azalea (Rhododendron canescens) and the pruneleaf azalea (Rhododendron prunifolium) are related rhododendron species that you can read about in their Floridata Profiles.

Using Business To Change Lives Of The 'Small People'; The Story Of Three African Social Entrepreneurs
Luvuyo Rani of Silulo (South Africa), operates IT stores and training centres in townships and rural areas of South Africa, and provides job opportunities for unemployed youth. (Photo/ WEF)
"If you bring poor things to the poor, you're extending poverty and misery. But if you bring the best to the poor, social transformation will kick in".
Social entrepreneurship is a growing model of global development, particularly in Africa, a continent where many are fatigued by the often prescriptive, top-down solutions that the traditional aid industry tends to favour.
What is unique about social entrepreneurs is their ability to draw upon business techniques to find solutions to social problems, and in that way provide goods and services to groups that are otherwise underserved by businesses, such as the urban poor or rural communities.
There has to be a commitment to excellence, and quality, as Colombian social entrepreneur Catalina Escobar, President of the Juan Felipe Foundation, puts it: "If you bring poor things to the poor, you're extending poverty and misery. But if you bring the best to the poor … social transformation will kick in."
The Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship last week awarded eleven social entrepreneurs from around the world – three from Africa, and one operating primarily in Africa – for their efforts in applying the latest business thinking in a practical way to benefit the marginalised and poor.
"Their success rests upon combining the financial disciplines of market capitalism with the passion and compassion required to create a more fair and just world," said Hilde Schwab, co-founder and chairwoman of the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship.
"This year's awardees are experimenting with business models and new distribution and replication methods, and holding themselves accountable for results," she added.
The three African winners are Tracey Chambers of The Clothing Bank, a South African company that provides unemployed single mothers from South Africa's townships with two years of training to become self-employed businesswomen.

The Clothing Bank counts 829 women as graduates, with another 800 women currently enrolled in the two-year programme. Since 2010, these women have collectively generated income for their families of more than $2 million.
Luvuyo Rani of Silulo, also of South Africa, operates IT stores and training centres in townships and rural areas, and provides job opportunities for unemployed youth. The training centres also offer services such as CV writing and employment advice. Silulo has 33 operational branches in and around the townships, and works with companies like Tsiba, Microsoft and Vodacom in order to refer job seekers.
The third winner is Yasmina Filali of Fondation Orient Occident from Morocco, whose organisation provides job training to underprivileged Moroccans, sub-Saharan migrants and refugees. It also helps migrants and refugees to integrate into Moroccan society. Ninety-five per cent of graduates from the IT courses and 60% of hospitality graduates find regular employment.
The other Africa-focused winner is Worldreader, which operates predominantly in Africa, is creating a future where everyone can be a reader. Using low-cost technology, a personal digital library, and a worldwide network of corporate and non-profit partners, the global non-profit offers a collection of over 31,000 titles from over 331 publishers in 44 languages including Kiswahili, Hausa, Afrikaans, English, and more.
Worldreader makes these titles available to over 17 million people in 69 countries through two means: tablet-based early reader programs designed for students and a mobile reading app designed for adults. Since 2010, 3.7 million people have read more than 15 million hours of content on the two platforms.
The awardees will become part of the broader Schwab Foundation community of Social Entrepreneurs, which includes over 320 outstanding social entrepreneurs from 70 countries. Schwab Foundation Social Entrepreneurs are fully integrated into the events and initiatives of the World Economic Forum.
Systematic and integrated
Social entrepreneurship is a particularly exciting model of addressing Africa's challenges, providing a more systematic and integrated anti-poverty approach, Donnas Ojok, a Development Management student at LSE, writes.
"The charity model, which has dominated the antipoverty agenda for decades, has often failed to bring about radical reforms in the economic system – it does not create enough jobs and traps the poor in a vicious dependency cycle."
This is where social enterprises positively differ – by empowering people to be productive and creating channels for the poor to take charge of their own destinies. On the other hand, purely capitalistic-oriented approaches can be problematic.
"Their prioritization of profit maximization over social good tends to isolate those who can't afford to pay for the services given. Indeed some of the world's most critical social and environmental challenges, like pollution and low wages, can be attributed to this," argues Ojok.

Genital warts are soft growths that appear on the genitals. Genital warts are a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). These skin growths can cause pain, discomfort, and itching. They are especially dangerous for women because some types of HPV can also cause cancer of the cervix and vulva.
HPV is the most prevalent of all STIs. This makes men and women who are sexually active vulnerable to complications of HPV, such as genital warts. In fact, approximately 360,000 people develop genital warts each year. Protection and treatment are essential in preventing this infection.
Genital warts are transmitted through sexual activity. You may not begin to develop warts for several weeks after infection.
The warts are not always visible to the human eye. They may be very small and the color of the skin or slightly darker. The top of the growths may resemble a cauliflower and may feel smooth or slightly bumpy to the touch. An infected person may have a cluster of warts, or just one wart.
Genital warts on males may appear on the following areas:
Genital warts in females may appear on the following area:
Genital warts may also appear on the lips, mouth, tongue, or throat of a person who has had oral sexual contact with an infected person.
Even if you cannot see genital warts, they may still cause symptoms, such as:
If genital warts spread or become enlarged, the condition can be uncomfortable or even painful.
Most cases of genital warts are caused by HPV. And there are more than 70 types of HPV that specifically affect the genitals. The HPV virus is highly transmittable through skin-to-skin contact, which is why it is considered a STI.
In fact, HPV is so common that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that most sexually active people get it at some point — the key difference is whether the virus leads to complications like genital warts.
Genital warts are caused by different strains of HPV that cause warts on your hands or other parts of the body that don't include the genital. A wart can't spread from someone's hand to the genitals, and vice versa.
Any sexually active person is at risk for HPV. According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), nearly half of people who have sex have had some type of HPV infection. However, genital warts are common for people who meet the following criteria:
HPV is the main cause of cancer in the cervix and can also cause precancerous changes to the cells of the cervix, or dysplasia.
Other types of HPV may also cause cancer of the vulva, which are the external genital organs of women, as well as penile and anal cancer.
Your doctor will perform a physical examination of any areas where you suspect warts may be occurring. Because warts can be deep inside the body for women, your physician may need to perform a pelvic examination. They may apply a mild acidic solution, which helps to make the warts more visible.
A doctor can also perform a Pap smear, which involves taking a swab of the area to obtain cells from your cervix. These can then be tested for the presence of HPV. Certain types of HPV may cause abnormal results on a Pap smear, which may indicate precancerous changes. If your doctor detects these abnormalities, you may need more frequent screenings to monitor any changes.
Your doctor will also ask questions about your health and sexual history. This includes symptoms you have experienced and any times you have engaged in unprotected sex, including oral sex.
If you are concerned you may have contracted a form of HPV known to cause cervical cancer, your physician can perform a DNA test. This determines what strain of HPV you have in your system.
While visible genital warts often go away with time, the virus cannot be eliminated once it is in your bloodstream. This means you may have several outbreaks over the course of your life. This makes managing symptoms important because you want to prevent transmitting the virus to others. Genital warts can be passed on to others even when there are no visible warts or other symptoms.
You may wish to treat genital warts to relieve painful symptoms or to minimize their appearance. You cannot treat genital warts with over-the-counter (OTC) wart removers or treatments.
Your doctor may prescribe topical wart treatments that might include:
If visible warts do not go away with time, you may require surgery to remove them. Your physician can remove the warts through:
Women who have been diagnosed with genital warts may need to have Pap smears every 3 to 6 months after their initial treatment to monitor any changes in the cervix. This is because certain types of HPV that cause genital warts are also associated with cervical cancer and precancerous changes in the cervix.
You should not use OTC treatments meant for hand warts on genital warts. Hand and genital warts are caused by different strains of HPV. Using the wrong treatments may do more harm than good.
Some home remedies are touted as helpful in treating genital warts, but there is little evidence to support them. Always consult your doctor before trying a home remedy.
Genital warts are a common symptom of HPV infection that can be uncomfortable or painful. They can disappear over time, but treatment is essential in preventing their return and possible complications.
Talking to your partner about genital warts can be difficult, but it is an important conversation to have. Being open about your condition can help you protect your partner from getting the infection and resulting warts.
An HPV vaccine called Gardasil can protect men and women from the most common HPV strains that cause genital warts, and can also protect against strains of HPV that are linked to cervical cancer. A vaccine called Cervarix is also available. This vaccine protects against cervical cancer, but not against genital warts.
Men and women up to age 26 can receive the HPV vaccine. It can also be given as early as age 9, and comes in a round of three different shots. These vaccines should be given before becoming sexually active, as they are most effective before a person is exposed to HPV. Using a condom every time you have sex can also reduce your risk of contracting genital warts.

(Disclaimer: To my relatives and friends who have been living in the US as American citizens, this is not an anti-American rant. To my Filipino-Chinese acquaintances, this is not a pro-China paean. Just telling things as they are from my point of view. And to find out for myself whether or not President Duterte is justified in "cozying up" to our neighbor and "separating" from our former colonial master.)
The Amboys in our midst are apoplectic over President Duterte's perceived anti-American stance and friendliness towards China. One respectable gentleman even calls it a national tragedy.
I wonder why. They sound so un-Filipino and anti-Filipino to me.
How much do Filipinos love America? How much does America love Filipinos in return?
Conversely, why do Filipinos love China less? Or sometimes deride – when, in truth and in fact, a big chunk of the Philippine population are of Chinese descent. Tsinoys, they are called, and while many of them do not have Filipino genes, they consider themselves Filipino for having been born here. On the other hand, most Amboys are pure Filipino with nary a drop of American plasma in them. Get the drift.
Then, too, the Chinese never colonized the Philippines even if both peoples have been trading with each other since ancient times – centuries before Ferdinand Magellan "landed on Limasawa at noon" and Christopher Columbus set foot on American soil.
Thus, let me count the ways. And revisit a little bit of history. Starting with the Philippine-American War at the turn of the 20th century that so little is known about.
First of all, let this sink in: "The overall cost in human lives of American actions in the Philippines was horrific. One scholar has concluded concerning the American occupation that in the 15 years that followed the defeat of the Spanish in Manila Bay in 1898, more Filipinos were killed by U.S. forces than by the Spanish in 300 years of colonization. Over 1.5 million died out of a total population of six million."
That tiny bit of information is verifiable at the click of your mouse if you know which archives to look, with the figures varying from one document to another. And if you click your mouse further, you will find that massacring Filipinos was a matter of fact for our American colonizers during that dark period in our existence as a nation; and that they came not as rescuers, which we were apparently made to believe, but as vanquishers.
America's most famous literary icon, Mark Twain, put it succinctly: "…I have seen that we do not intend to free, but to subjugate the people of the Philippines. We have gone to conquer, not to redeem…"
In truth, historians refer to the Philippine-American War as the "first Vietnam" where such tactics as strategic hamleting and scorched-earth policy were first used and the death of hundreds of thousands of Filipinos was "usually accounted for as either collateral damage or victims of insurrection."
Doesn't the term 'collateral damage' sound familiar these days?
In November 1901, the Manila correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger reported: "The present war is no bloodless, opera bouffe engagement; our men have been relentless, have killed to exterminate men, women, children, prisoners and captives, active insurgents and suspected people from lads of ten up, the idea prevailing that the Filipino as such was little better than a dog…."
Doesn't that sound like 'extrajudicial killings'? Genocide? Mass murder? Butchery? (Not to mention patently racist. Little better than a dog?)
If you are not convinced, click your mouse again onto "Balangiga Massacre", "Bud Dajo Massacre" or "US war crimes in the Philippines" and you might run into an American general who specifically ordered his men "to kill and burn: the more you kill and burn, the better you will please me." Or another general who wrote: "All able bodied men will be killed or captured… These people need a thrashing to teach them some good common sense…"
So, yes, those atrocities happened over a hundred years ago. Atrocities which America never apologized for. Because it was all part of President McKinley's so-called Benevolent Assimilation? In McKinley's words:"…We could not leave them to themselves – they were unfit for self-government – and they would soon have anarchy and misrule over there worse than Spain's was; and that there was nothing left for us to do but to take them all, and to educate the Filipinos, and uplift and civilize and Christianize them…"
Not to forget that Japan invaded the Philippines during World War II, not because we were at war with them but because we were with America. And it cost the lives of one million Filipinos.
By the way, the first American Governor General after whom Taft Avenue is named, coined the phrase little brown brothers when he told McKinley that "our little brown brothers" would need "fifty or one hundred years" of close supervision "to develop anything resembling Anglo-Saxon political principles and skills."
The point being that those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it. What purpose does recording history serve if people do not learn from it?
Speaking of the past, historical records suggest that the earliest direct Chinese contact with the Philippines was during the early years of the Sung Dynasty (962-1279). And surprise, surprise, Filipinos went to China before the Chinese came to the Philippines. Merchants from "Ma-i" (Mindoro) were said to be part of a luxury trade bringing to Guangzhou scents, ivory, coral, pearls, fine steel, tortoise shell, crystal, sea-turtle leather, cloths and other wares in exchange for gold, silver, coin strings, lead, tin, multi-colored silk and porcelain.
Does that seem like the pre-colonial Filipinos were uncivilized? And Western historians called them barbarians.
Ma-i traders arrived on the Canton coast in 982, not on a tribute mission but sailing directly with valuable merchandise for sale. The first Philippine tribute mission to China appears to have come from Butuan (P'u-tuan) which was described as a small country in the sea to the east of Champa (Vietnam) in March 1001.
Back then, a tribute mission was the Chinese idea of diplomacy where neighboring lands and tribes paid homage to the emperor through presents of pearls and aromatics. In return, the envoys were given brocaded court costumes encrusted with gold and jade, among others. The tributary states did not become colonies or part of the imperial system but were simply enlisted as independent states occupying their proper niche in the Chinese order.
Doesn't China still use trade today as a diplomatic weapon, dispensing favors in the form of investments and soft loans to both near and distant countries?
Fast forward to Mao Zedong's Great Proletariat Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) marked by a violent class struggle "that saw countless politicians and intellectuals driven to their deaths, civilians killed in armed conflicts, and cultural relics and artefacts destroyed. The official death toll numbered more than 1.7 million."
Fifty years hence, the People's Republic of China – once dubbed as the sleeping giant – has risen to become the second largest economy in the world and, according to Forbes, is set to overtake the US in 2018. While it has been criticized by Western media for unfair trade practices including intellectual property theft and protectionism, its socialist market economy has allowed the still communist state to finance an ambitious space program and initiate the creation of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank to rival the World Bank, while its Renminbi currency is undergoing the process of internationalization.
Sometime in 1817, Napoleon Bonaparte was supposed to have said, "China? There lies a sleeping giant. Let him sleep, for when he wakes he will move the world."
So, is President Duterte right in turning to China and strengthening ties with our other Asian neighbors? The writing is on the wall.
For what it is worth, I am not scared of Beijing. I am not scared of its ancient temples and rich culture, its great halls and massive squares, even its smog, imposing structures and seemingly impassive inhabitants. Its long, enigmatic past touches the old soul and its dynamic, straightforward present arouses the senses.
I am more scared of being humiliated by an American consul denying me a visa to enter his country because I don't speak English well enough or I don't look "prosperous" enough. I am more scared of being accosted by an American immigration officer talking down at me and demanding what I am doing in his great country. It would diminish my pride and dignity as a fellow member of the human race.
As a true Oriental, 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' beckons to my sense of wonder and curiosity more than 'Gone with the Wind' ever will.
However, as a pure Filipino, I am not anti- or pro-USA. Neither am I anti- or pro-China. I will only be forever pro-Philippines.

If u are a wax fan like me but find it can be costly to keep it up, this Veet wax is a must buy!
I have been going to a salon for about five years for wax treatments and it really reduces hair growth so I am determined to keep it up. However, the salon I go to is a very good one so can be quite pricy. There isn't anyway I would stop going there, the lovely lady I go to is brilliant and of course, it is much easier for someone else to do it! But if you have the odd month you can't afford it, this stuff could help you out!
It costs around £10 and will last you a long time, it is great for face, legs and bikini line. The spatula has the word NO! Written on which appears if it is too hot to use to avoid you burning yourself and the strips are washable so you just put them in warm water after use.
It smells delish too!
A must have.......

(CNN)Say goodbye to your exfoliating shower gel.
Those tiny plastic microbeads you have been rubbing on your face are now outlawed in the United States.
President Obama signed a bipartisan bill that prohibits selling and distributing products containing microbeads. The bill is intended to protect the nation's waterways.
A microbead is any solid plastic particle that is less than 5 millimeters and is used for the purpose of exfoliating or cleansing, according to the bill.
These tiny plastic beads have become ubiquitous in hundreds of products ranging from body scrubs to toothpastes. They provide an exfoliating sensation for users and are designed to wash down drains.
But because they are made of plastic, microbeads do not dissolve and may pose a threat to the environment.
In September, a study published in Environmental Science & Technology reported that more than 8 trillion microbeads were entering the country's aquatic habitats daily. The volume was enough to coat the surface of 300 tennis courts every day.
Microbeads have contributed to a greater increase in microplastic polluting the planet's oceans and lakes, researchers say.
Not only are they hard to clean up because they are about the size of a pinhead, but researchers say they are also posing a threat to aquatic life.
Some marine life mistake small plastic as food particles. Scientists are researching whether microplastics affect the health of marine life once ingested and if chemicals transfer to humans who eat those species later, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
There are several natural exfoliants such as oatmeal, honey, yogurt, baking soda, lemon juice, and papaya. I avoid using sugar, salt, and coffee, as these tend to be a little too rough on the skin. I make my face wash with ground whole oats, coconut milk, raw honey, and a little coconut oil. I don't usually measure, so I can't give you an exact recipe, but the next time I make a batch, I will measure everything and post the recipe.
|Photo: EnkiVillage
Here is a great recipe for a papaya face mask. Note: In recipes calling for honey, use raw honey. The beneficial enzymes in honey are destroyed during pasteurization.
Use organic ingredients whenever possible to keep your face wash non-toxic. If you are making a multiple-use batch of face wash or a mask, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it from spoiling.
Bottom line - healthy skin doesn't have to destroy the environment. By making your own beauty products you can be confident knowing that the ingredients are wholesome, non-toxic, environmentally-friendly, and in most cases, more affordable than commercial chemical versions.
Until next time...become the change you imagine.

Petty, crew chief Parrott part ways
Todd Parrott was released from Richard Petty Motorsports on Monday for violating NASCAR's substance-abuse policy.
The 19-year veteran crew chief won the 1999 Sprint Cup championship with Dale Jarrett and most recently oversaw the No. 43 Ford team and driver Aric Almirola. Parrott has been with RPM since 2010. He has 31 Sprint Cup wins.
Parrott has already submitted his application for NASCAR's Road to Recovery program and NASCAR officials confirm he has been accepted into the program.
Greg Ebert will take over as the interim crew chief for Aric Almirola's team.
Ebert has served in the role of car chief of the No. 43 Ford for the past two seasons and has been a car chief with RPM since its inception. Before joining RPM, Ebert spent nine years at Roush Fenway Racing serving the last five of those seasons as the car chief for Matt Kenseth.
"We are confident in Greg's leadership abilities and we will give him the resources he needs to be successful," explained Sammy Johns, vice president of operations and competition. "He is very familiar with our race program and gives us a more seamless transition. More importantly, he gives Aric the best opportunity to finish the season strong."

Chromium Picolinate
How important is this supplement? Do any of you take it? Is it worth it?
I read that it basically ensures everything you consume reaches your muscles and is not wasted. It's pretty cheap so I am thinking about purchasing it and see how it goes.
EDIT: Did some more research on it, doesn't seem like something I will be purchasing. Post if you'd like though.
I think your research is right. I've never heard anybody back up the claims of chromium picolinate. Chromium in general may help you stay on your diet as a slight appetite suppressant, but if your goal is to put on 11 lbs, I wouldn't think you'd get any benefit worth even the cheapest money from it. I'd say find yourself a reliable creatine product, a reliable glutamine product (that is if you don't already have these, and if you shop around you should be able to find them cheap as well) and eat lots of protein. Make sure you are lifting heavy for smaller reps, because if your goal is to put on weight, high reps with lower weight will not help you acheive your goal.
Appreciate it Raven. Yeah my diet right now is pretty high in protein. I am takign whey, creatine, and fish oil caps as supplements (and a daily vitamin). I am trying to do around 6-10 reps in set. Check out my journal if you want for more info.
I have been spending a lot of time reading up on everything as much as possible. Also, will post a new picture soon. It's still on the camera, not sure if I can notice a difference yet, but I will let you guys compare.
No problem at all. Actually, I did take a look at your journal after I posted my comment on this thread. It sounds like you have educated yourself very well, and are on your way. Don't be too hard on yourself if you fall a little short for your target. I set really high expectations for myself too, and if I fall a little short, I just look at the results I have acheived, grin, and set new ones for another goal.
I'm looking at the amount of weight you've put on already, and believe me, you're doing fine.
I did notice some appetite suppression from Chromium but not enough to rave about.
I do not think that it is necessary to take any chromium supplements if u are taking a good multivitamin.

That House in Pearlington: Part II
My wife and I purchased the house in 1995, had done a lot of improvements on it, and ran a small plant business called Gardner's Greenhouse. She did the planting, growing, etc and I did the leg work. She passed in 2003, and I kept the business going until the storm.
I was in the house when Katrina hit and the water went from my feet to over my head in about twenty minutes. I knocked out the window over the back door, swam out with three dogs out one at a time, and spent two days on my deck, which had broken lose until the water went down. There was a cat left in the house that somehow survived and we all are presently in Dallas. I do go down every couple of weeks and have just about gotten everything worth saving and brought it back to Dallas for refurbishing.
I plan to start working on the getting the rest of the junk out and see what can be done with the house after the holidays. The house itself is sound, but needless to say the inside is pretty trashed and will need extensive repair. I doubt in my lifetime it will happen, but I can try. The lady that sent me the article, also has a 100 year old house there and working on is as time permits.
There is a great deal of history in the area, and unfortunately I lost my books on the area which were rare and limited additions. The country's largest sawmill was located there at one time and during the Civil War solders camped there. Wonder how they survived the "Bugs"? When I was sown a couple of weeks ago, they ate me up.
We do appreciate and thank all the volunteers who have come to the area and there is no way we can repay your kindness. Everybody have a Merry Christmas and a Fun New Year and I'll be looking forward to meeting you one of these days should you pass our way again.
Above and below are pictures of my refugees.
With Love and Many Thanks Again,
Tony Gardner

Counter that "blank" has been a fun forum game for years on many games like Pokemon. It also is very informative to many. I didn't see one anywhere so far.. so...
Format is simple, counter the pet above with a pet, than write your own to be countered.
Note: to counter means it needs to answer it 1v1 and live through all attacks. Obviously there is some RNG involved, but the counter should deal with the threat most of the time.

Edit Article
How to Perfect Your Tango Technique
Feeling a little rusty when it comes to your Tango technique? This article will help remind you of the principal points when dancing the Tango. Knowing the technique better is the quickest way of transforming yourself from a novice into a proficient and confident Tango dancer.
1Perfect your posture.
- Starting from your feet, make sure you maintain your weight on your toes, as this is what gives you control when you are dancing.
- Always, think of pulling up from the lower abdomen and keeping your chest open.
- The chest is very important in tango because this is where the connection is made between the leader and the follower.
2Get the energy flowing. Tango is an intense and passionate dance. Much of that emotion comes from the energy which flows between the dancers and creates that all important connection.
- The energy should flow from the centre of the dancers, up through their arms and chest and from there permeate through to their partner, creating a strong link and route for communication. Newcomers to Tango may at first find this hard to achieve, but with more practice and appreciation for the dance the energy will begin to flow naturally.
3Lighten those Tango steps. The movement of your feet in Tango is extremely important.
- There should be as much contact with the floor as possible, so that the feet skim over it rather than being plodded or being placed.
- However, skimming should not be confused with dragging which would make the steps heavy and very tiring.
4Hold with confidence. Close contact is very important in Tango and some people need a little time to get used to it.
- The man should embrace the woman using the whole of his right forearm across the middle of her back, bringing her closer to him.
- The lady holds his hand with her right hand and her left is placed on his shoulder.
- It's a cliché, but it's true—Practice does make perfect. The more you do it, the more you will understand your movements and technique. You'll also become more confident with your actions too.
Community Q&A
QuestionDo I need to practice daily in order to dance the tango well?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerUnless you have a deadline when you need to be perfect by, you don't have to practice every day. 2 - 3 times per week should be good enough.

- Always buy comfortable dancing shoes. In Argentina, it is not uncommon to dance all the way from night until morning, so the shoes have to be just right!

Back Pain-Treating Back Pain
If you've come across our website, more then likely, you're experiencing back pain. Don't ever think you're alone. Millions of men and women around the world suffer from back pain. In fact, back pain is one of the most common diagnosis in the world. Believe it or not, 4 out of every 5 people will experience back pain at least once in their life. That is 80 percent, a very high number. Back pain is nothing new, we've been treating this condition for decades. Thanks to medical advancements and technology, we can treat back pain effectively. In this article, you'll learn about back pain and learn how we treat back pain. In the end, we'll hope you choose to come on board with us and finally say good-bye to your pain.
Back pain is usually classified in two categories, acute back pain and chronic back pain. The two differ greatly even though the definitions and terminology is simple. Acute back pain is back pain that only last a few days, weeks, possibly a month or two. Acute back pain could be an injury, such as a pulled back muscle or torn ligament. Acute back pain doesn't last long. In most cases, acute back pain will go away on its own. If acute back pain last for 3 months or longer, it then becomes chronic back pain. Chronic back pain refers to back pain that last 3 months or longer. Chronic back pain can last up to a year or longer. Both acute and chronic back pain can range from minor pain to severe pain.
Most men and women that perform our back pain treatment suffer from chronic back pain. They have been unsuccessful at managing their back pain. Most of them have tried multiple pain management techniques without prevail. Some of our patients have been in pain for a year or two, some have been in pain for decades. Our patients range from 18-75. If you're older, we believe our back pain treatment would work for you also. At this time, 75 years old has been our oldest patient up to date. They seek us because they have ran out of answers.
We understand how you feel, no one deserves to have to live with back pain day in and day out. What do you do when you run out of options? When you have no where else to turn? Sadly, many medical professionals and companies only care about your money. If you don't has insurance, you'd likely not be able to see your doctor. Think about all the cost, all the money you're out monthly. If you add up doctor visits, specialist visits, equipment, medications and therapy visits, you could easily be spending thousands a month. Who can afford that? The economy is unstable and it shouldn't cost you thousands just to manage your back pain. The good news, you don't have to anymore and I'm going to tell you exactly why.
Doctor's Pain Relief Systems was developed and founded by Dr. Jason Hurst. Just like you, Dr. Hurst suffered from chronic back pain. In total, Dr. Hurst was in severe pain for more then a decade. He still had back pain even with treatment and surgery. The only good thing that came from his back pain is the fact that it drove him to become a doctor and find a cure. Dr. Hurst received his medical degree and immediately began to work on a system that would not only manage chronic back pain, but would also eliminate it for good. Dr. Hurst spent the next few years studying, running analysis and testing. After countless hours and years, Doctor's Pain Relief Systems was born. Up to date, Dr. Hurst has helped thousands of men and women end their back pain for good. Today, you have that same opportunity.
Our back pain system is 100 percent natural. It is backed by a 60 day money back guarantee. We suggest that you try our back pain treatment for at least 30 days before you make your choice. However, if you buy it, don't like it, you can return it on the first day. We offer this because we know it works. Dr. Hurst has used this very same back pain treatment on thousands of his patients with great success. You don't have to live with back pain, that is so important to know. You don't have to settle with chronic back pain. It doesn't matter if you've hurt for decades, our back pain system will help you finally end your pain.
If you're tired of suffering from chronic back pain, this is your solution. You can get our back pain system below through PayPal. If you want to learn the full details of our back pain system, feel free to sign up for our free pain relief webinar. It is absolutely free, it only takes a few seconds to sign up. We give 3 live webinars a day. Just scroll to the top right of the page and fill out the form.

What Does It Mean?
APT US & C's Debt Policy Program provides public finance officers with guidance and objective assistance in developing a debt policy that provides a framework within which informed borrowing decisions can be made.
Debt policies can vary greatly due to the diversity of state statutes and regulations in place in states, cities, towns and other municipal entities, so a debt policy must be crafted to develop and implement policy guidelines that meet the unique needs and concerns of each jurisdiction.
To become certified, public treasury officials submit their government's debt policies to APT US & C for peer review and certification before it is presented to the applicant's governing board.
What are the benefits of having your Debt Policy Certified by APT US & C?
Probably the best benefit is the trust and confidence that your governing body and the public that it serves receives from knowing that you not only have taken the time to draft a Debt Policy, but you have taken the extra professional step of having the APT US & C review and certify that your policy is a professionally accepted policy.
Any questions concerning the Debt Policy application can be addressed APT US&C's Headquarters Office at (989) 820-5205 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

In some quarters there appears to be an eagerness to declare the Patriots run over. Could be just the desire to have something new to write about instead of all of this boring winning stuff, or perhaps it's a anticipation of failure. After pushing for three seasons for Charlie Weis and Romeo Crennel to get the chance to be head coaches, Nick Cafardo today says the Patriots might be in major trouble without them in the future. After saying all that, he advises fans to only worry about Sunday. Tom E Curran says that this Sunday could be the end of the Patriots as we've come to know them. Lenny Megliola though, says that as long as Bill Belichick is at the helm, Patriots fans will have confidence, especially against the Colts. Alan Greenberg looks at the challenge facing Belichick and his staff with their depleted secondary going against the high scoring Colts. Chris Kennedy also looks at what the Patriots are facing this Sunday. Fluto Shinzawa has Belichick's thoughts on the high flying Colts offense. Kevin Mannix also has a look at the tall task facing the Patriot defense this Sunday. Bill Burt attempts to calm the masses who are worried about facing the Colts.
The Patriots have their bulletin board material, thanks to the ever-reliable Mike Vanderjagt. Michael Felger looks at the comments from the Colts kicker. It was interesting to hear Bill Belichick acknowledge and even inquire about Vanderjagt's comments during his appearance on WEEI's Big Show yesterday afternoon. Tim Weisberg says that the comments by Vanderjagt were not necessary to get the Patriots fired up, a notion that D&C would disagree with. They were firmly in the camp that the comments were exactly what Belichick and the Patriots hoped for and wanted. In fact Gerry Callahan (subscription only) says that the Patriots should look back at the end of this season and thank Vanderjagt for all that he has done for them. Jon Couture says that most talk and hype leading up to big games is empty, but this matchup Sunday will be well worth waiting for. A couple interesting columns from PatsFans.com, Kevin Rousseau says that the Colts are getting what they wanted, while Bob George looks at the Patriots history of home field dominance in the playoffs.
Kevin Paul Dupont again draws the assignment of covering the opposing team and he looks at Peyton Manning winning the MVP. George Kimball also looks at the award for Manning. Garry Brown however, says that Foxboro just isn't Peyton's place. Bill Reynolds writes that this is the biggest game of Peyton's career, and for a guy who hasn't had too much success in big games, that's a concern. Kimball has a subscription column saying that Tony Dungy isn't worrying about past failures of his team against the Patriots. Dupont's notebook has Dungy paying respect to the Patriots.
Felger's notebook looks at the Patriots choice to take Ty Law's spot on the active roster, cornerback Hank Poteat. Shinzawa's notebook has Patriots and Colts players giving their thoughts on the game Sunday. Curran's notebook has more on Vanderjagt's comments. Weisberg's notebook has some items from a fairly quiet day in the lockerroom.
After certain members of the Boston media have taken shots the last few years at Bill Belichick for not allowing the media access to his assistant coaches, (even though Bill Parcells followed the same practice) it's interesting to note that Charlie Weis plans to follow the same blueprint as well, informing reporters who cover Notre Dame that they are not to speak to his assistants and players without his permission. Mark Schlabach of the Washington Post has the story. Will the term "muted underlings" be tossed around?
The Celtics got themselves an easy win against the Magic last night, winning 119-101. Peter May, Steve Bulpett and Carolyn Thornton have the game stories. Paul Harber and Rich Thompson have a look at rookie guard Tony Allen, who had 16 points in the win and is gaining a bigger role with the club as the season goes on. Harber also looks at the comeback of Grant Hill, and Thompson has a piece on Johnny Davis speaking about former teammate Doc Rivers. Thornton's notebook has details on the trade that the Magic made prior to the game. Bulpett's notebook has Doc Rivers defending his comments about his starters from Saturday night's loss to Chicago. May's notebook has more on the trade made by the Magic.
Tony Massarotti says that Derek Lowe's departure from the Red Sox is not personal, it's all about money.
Bill Griffith has a look at Bull Riding (!?) and some other media notes including comments from media people on Norm Resha. From Friday, Dave Scott had a piece on the Globe, the Metro, Chris Snow and other items from the Boston media scene.

Laguna Beach, Calif.
Two sea lions try out for lifeguard duty
Sea lions trained to assist in ocean rescues may join lifeguards on the beach next summer, although some officials are skeptical the animals will be accepted by the public.
Marine trainers have been working with two 18-month-old California sea lions - Joyce and Faye - since Nov. 20 to determine if they are suitable for beach rescue assignments. They are being trained to carry lifesaving buoys to tired swimmers, tow swimmers to shore, and perhaps locate valuables lost in the surf.

Something very grand must have happened in Chicago on January 27, 1878 because this pin was made to commemorate the occasion.
Made of genuine U.S. silver coins, this 1878 Victorian era pin is hand-etched with Masonic symbols, fancy lettering, and on the bottom...the coin (a dime) has crossed spoons and the date (we can't make out the top word beginning with 'K'). Must have been a big dinner gala.
The back has the original old ~C~ clasp hinge pin with extended point. The pin measures 2 3/8 by 1 3/4 inches. It tests for sterling silver. This 137 year pin is in very good condition. Early Freemasonry souvenir.

MOREHEAD, KY – Morehead State University (MSU) has been testing electric vehicles on campus since last fall. The university purchased five Chrysler Global Electric Motorcars to benefit its efforts for "going green," according to The Trail Blazer campus newspaper.
Mike Walters, MSU vice president of Administration and Fiscal Services, said the idea for the electric vehicles surfaced about a year ago, when some MSU facility staff attended a conference at the University of Texas and saw a number of the vehicles being used on campus. He said the electric vehicles are a part of MSU's green effort on campus.
"We want to try to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels and have been looking at ways to do that over the last several months," Walters said.
The 25-mph vehicles run on 8V batteries and can operate 10 to 12 hours on one full charge, according to Maintenance Supervisor Ed Beam.
Smaller than a normal size maintenance truck, Beam said they're very efficient because fuel doesn't have to be bought every day. The vehicles are used in MSU's landscaping and grounds operations, and building maintenance operations. "We use them to get across campus and back and forth from building to building for maintenance calls."
Each GEM has all the basic equipment and operations of a regular size maintenance truck: tool boxes, headlights, turn signals, seatbelts, and license plate.
"They are fully licensed vehicles and they're legal to operate on any street that has a 45 mph or less speed limit," Walters said.
Walters said, along with the electric vehicle project, the university also is looking ways way to cut back on the use of gasoline.
"We also had a project underway at that time where we were looking at our gasoline power vehicle fleet and had a goal of reducing that," Walters said. "We've been able to reduce the gasoline power vehicle fleet by about 15 percent since last fall."
Walters said the electric vehicles have had a positive response so far. "We think eventually we can replace most all of the smaller service vehicles with these electric vehicles."

Say hello to the new 1Password for iOS
You may have seen the news and incredible reviews elsewhere, so we are absolutely delighted, thrilled, ecstatic, and, overjoyed to tell you that the new 1Password for iOS is here. In the App Store. Right now. If you're curious about making the transition, we have a great new FAQ too.

We spent more than a year thinking, designing, dreaming, drafting, listening, testing, and ultimately building.

We have an all-new interfaces for both iPhone and iPad that's easier to use and even more beautiful; a full-featured Web Mode with tabbed browsing and form filling for Logins, Identities, and Credit Cards; iCloud sync; custom templates; Favorites for quick access to your most-used stuff… I could go on, or you could check it out in the App Store or go through just some of our best new stuff below:

- Demo Mode – Want to show off 1Password to a friend or post a screenshot, but don't want to share your Vault with the world? Enable Demo Mode in Settings, lock 1Password, then type "demo" as your Master Password to make 1Password 4 for iOS load up a bunch of sample data instead of your personal Vault.
- A brand new Quick Tour for new users. It's much easier to get started with 1Password now.

- Clear Clipboard – New in Settings, enabled by default, this option lets you clear your iOS clipboard at intervals of 30 seconds to five minutes. Great for preventing apps or websites from grabbing your passwords or other sensitive data.
We also streamlined 1Password for iOS to a single, new, universal app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch that requires iOS 6 and has a unified price of $17.99. But to celebrate a year of work and our best release to date, we're holding a Launch Celebration and Upgrade Sale of just $7.99—over 50 percent off! Get it while the sale lasts, because we're not sure yet when it's going to end.
We'd like to thank our fearless developers, visionary designers, steadfast customer support team, and of course our incredible customers for making the new 1Password for iOS what it is today. We hope you love it, because this is just the beginning.
