Try Thinking — You Might Find You Like It
Try Thinking — You Might Find You Like It
Matt HealeyThursday,1 May 2014
The Snap:
I go to a lot of conferences. I am currently at one now. Most of the conference is pretty boring and predictable. There are a lot of product demos, discussions of the strategic focus and the road map. In many ways they are entirely predictable. However there are always things that make me perk up and take notice. In this conference it was the stupidity of the attendees.
The Download:
My brother has a saying: "Every time you are surprised by the stupidity of the public it is your fault because you overestimated them." That is clearly the case in this situation, and it was driven home at the queue for coffee. Anyone who knows me knows that I need coffee in the morning. Actually I need coffee in the morning, mid day, afternoon, and probably a lot of other times as well. So the queue for coffee is something I take very seriously. In this case there were 2 coffee stations. One had a long line and the other, slightly behind the first one, had no line. Because I needed coffee (see above) and I am very impatient, I went to the one with no line, hoping that the reason there was no line was not because there was no coffee left. To my surprise, the coffee station that I went to had a full vat of coffee. So the question was, how come there was a long line at one and no line at the other?
My answer: stupidity. What I suspect happened was that someone went to the first station. Once a queue began to develop no one thought that maybe they should try to go to the other station. After all there was a line at this one. We should all behave like good sheeple. Get in line. To which I say "Why?" The fact is that most people are content to simply follow the heard. Don't make waves. No one will ever get in trouble for queuing up for coffee just like everyone else. But it makes no sense. In my world it leads to tremendous waste and inefficiency. And when that waste stands between me and coffee bad things happen. This could also explain yesterday's post about a lack of respect for process.
Take Action!

Every year, people all around the world eagerly wait for holidays, family time, good food, and sales. A good deal has become synonymous with every holiday season and just last year, retail e-commerce reported a 10.4% growth from the year before.
So, in 2018, if you have one retail resolution, let it be to be prepared for every relevant holiday that comes along. Yes, most customers look for a good bargain during this time period, but you can still win with volumes. For questions on how much of a product to stock and how often, the inventory management guide is your best friend.
Here is a list of holidays this year, and the goods that are most likely to sell during this time period.
January 2018
Just after the festive season from the year gone by, January is a surprisingly dry month for festivals. However, many people choose to go skiing in January. As a result, even though there is no holiday per se, here are a few items that sell well this month:
- Thick woolens
- Caps, scarves, and gloves
- Skiing equipment
- Winter boots
- Package deals on ski resort stay and food
February 2018
Super Bowl (United States Of America)- 4th February
Superbowl is a phenomenon every year, with people, food and a host of celebs coming together for the culmination of the football season. Fans and critics alike have a tough time resisting the temptation of being part of something bigger than themselves. Here are some products that sell well during this time:
- Team branded merchandise such as t-shirts, caps, and socks
- Make-at-home snack kits for a crowd
- Hot-dog themed accessories
Valentine's Day (Worldwide)- 14th February
It is often said that Valentine's Day was turned into the event it now is because card manufacturers wanted to drive up sales. That said, there's no doubt that people use the day as a way to express their love for each other. Valentine's Day trends change every year and what is in fashion this year may not be on the shelves next. However, some products never go out of fashion:
- Engagement rings and premium jewelry
- Fashion jewelry
- Chocolates
- Cards
- Teddy bears
- Perfumes
- Wallets and watches for men
- Meal coupons
Chinese New Year (China, Singapore, and parts of South East Asia)- 16th February
The year of the dog begins from the 16th of February this year. This is the shopping list that most households have this year:
- Tang suits for the family
- Red lanterns
- Candy
- Paper decorative items
- Good luck charms
March 2018
St. Patrick's Day (Ireland, UK, North America and Australasia)- 17th March
Festivities begin with the green-themed St. Patrick's Day celebrations. From green frosting to green hats, it is very likely that anything green sells during this period. Sales in the days preceding St. Patrick's Day are often for baubles and costumes for the little ones, so ensure that your marketing is targeted towards parent groups, and discounts or combo offers they may find interesting.
Here's a list of things that sell well:
- Clover headbands
- Apparel that symbolizes the festival
- Costumes for families
- Clover charms and accessories
- Irish hats
- Beer stations and glasses in green
April 2018
Easter Sunday (Worldwide)- 1st April
Easter marks a day of good food and time spent with family over wine. Traditionally, Easter eggs always sell very well during this time. You can consider stocking up a variety of unique options such as surprise centers, Easter eggs filled with gifts, giant Easter eggs, etc.
Apart from the eggs, these are a few other items that sell like hot cakes, quite literally:
- Food and premixes- for cakes, buns, chocolate, etc.
- Alcohol- wine and champagne
- Do-It-Yourself Easter egg paint kits, activity boxes for children
- Egg baskets
- Bunny themed soft toys
If you have a retail outlet, you can even consider holding an Easter egg hunt for the community and offer hampers to the winners, as well as discount coupons to everyone who assembles.
May 2018
Mother's Day (Worldwide)- 13th May
Did you know that people spend close to $20 billion on gifts for Mother's Day every year? This is perhaps one occasion that everyone wants to buy something truly meaningful for. Coupon deals often come in handy, as do discounts on flights and hotel stays. Here are some other things you can sell:
- Gift hampers based on your existing catalog
- Fine jewelry
- Apparel and handbags
- Premium chocolates
- Greeting cards
To stand out from other retailers, customization is key. If you sell jewelry, you can consider engraving a message of choice. If you sell chocolates, you can consider making them into custom molds.
June 2018
Father's Day (Worldwide)- 17th June
Much like Mother's Day, Father's Day is all about conveying the right message. However, the gifting catalog for men remains fairly standard over time. Here are some items you can sell, either individually or as a Father's Day collection:
- Shirts and ties
- Books
- Perfumes
- Books
- Cufflinks
- Watches
- Gift cards
- Chocolates
- Alcohol
You can bring in some customization into the products by grouping them together based on different kinds of dads. For alcohol, you can create interesting labels such as, 'for a long day', 'for when the toolshed is being repaired', etc.
Dragonboat Festival (China)- 18th June
China is the largest market for retail sales in the world. Marketplaces like Amazon may still be fumbling, but retailers would do well to cash in on opportunities to sell to this market.
Some things that traditionally get bought during this time include
- Drums and percussion instruments
- Foods made of nuts and rice.
July 2018
4th Of July (United States Of America)
The 4th of July is often an excellent time to host a clearance sale and offer goodies on every purchase. For example, for every order over $50, you can send a 4th of July t-shirt. Some products that sell well at this time are:
- Apparel for all ages
- Shoes
- Home furnishings and home decor items
- Camping gear
Qixi Festival (China)- 7th July
The Qixi festival is the Chinese version of Valentine's Day. Needless to say, spending during this time period is sky high. WeChat Commerce is a good marketplace for making a sale on, and in recent times, the popularity of the Qixi festival ensures that everyone thinks of buying something, such as:
- Bath and body hampers
- Do-It-Yourself fancy meal kits
- Soft toys, especially teddy bears
- Chocolates
- Watches
- Perfumes
To crack the market, you need to offer something that no other seller is offering locally, Also, it is a good idea to begin promotions early on and stick to a shipping timeline.
August 2018
Eid (Middle East)- 21st August
The culmination of a month-long period of fasts, giving and service is celebrated with great aplomb in the Middle East as Eid Al Fitr. As one of the major festivals of the year, the shopping list is usually pretty wide, much like the holiday season in December. You can consider hosting sales on the following items:
- Fine jewelry
- Clothing and accessories for people of all ages
- Home decor
- Cutlery and dining sets
- Home decor and furniture
- Electronic Goods
- Sweets
October 2018
Halloween (Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Parts of Europe and the United States Of America) – 31st October
Is Halloween a festival for kids, or a festival for adults? Well, these days, it is a festival for both groups of people. Kids often dress up either to go to school or for an evening of trick-or-treating. Adults may have a more intimate gathering and a costume party. In both cases, costumes are the focal point. Here are some other products you can sell before Halloween:
- Treats for the kids
- Decorative 'pumpkins' and carving tools
- Alcohol
- Themed party props
- Extravagant home decor items- think life-sized skeletons and skulls, 'cobwebs' and even coffins for the more adventurous folks
If you have a retail outlet, a make-your-own-costume could be a good idea, especially when you have a lot of apparel and accessories left over from last Halloween.
November 2018
Diwali (South Asia) – 6th November
Celebrated with great pomp in India, retailers, and marketplaces often vie for the customer's attention month's in advance. Sales and heavy discounts are not uncommon, so if you wish to stand out, you can target the corporate gifting market. Some of the items that companies often pick as gifts for their customers include:
- Stationery for the coming new year
- Sweets and chocolates
- Premium crockery and home decor
Most companies use Diwali as a means to be remembered by their clientele, so they often expect some level of customization in terms of the logo and their brand's visibility on the product. If you offer such options at a competitive price, you have a very good chance of selling during Diwali, in bulk.
Thanksgiving and Black Friday (United States of America, Canada, Parts of the Caribbean)- 22nd and 23rd November
Last year, Black Friday sales online amounted to over $5 billion. This is why we have even dedicated an entire article to Black Friday sales. As a growing trend, more people are choosing to buy online for Black Friday, especially on their mobile devices. This can perhaps be attributed to the notoriety of physical sales, where people have been known to get into a stampede at times. Here are some products you can sell during this period:
- Cutlery and kitchen appliances
- Home appliances
- Home decor
- Electronics (top category)
- Toys and games for childre
December 2018
Christmas and New Year's Eve (Worldwide) – 25th and 31st December
The official holiday season is also one of the busiest times for retailers, both online and offline. From themed web pages to storefronts recreated to look like the Arctic Circle, there's nothing that hasn't been done during a holiday sale. The best thing you can do is get on the bandwagon early and encourage your customers to build their wishlist in early November. Reminder emails would be good, too.
If you have special promos you intend to run, ensure that your messaging is similar across all your advertising channels to improve recall. A catchy one-liner is often a very good idea at this point.
Literally, anything sells around this time; here is a list of items you can consider stocking up on:
- Sweaters
- Christmas themed accessories
- Apparel
- Alcohol
- Gourmet Food Ingredients
- Party Props
- Electronics
- Toys
- Jewelry
- Home decor

FIX (Fixed Point Tracker)
This tool is used to check the stability of an equilibrium point or a limit cycle in a set of ordinary differential equations in an autonomous system, or the stability of periodic solutions in a set of ordinary differential equations or the stability of a set of fixed (or periodic) points in a set of difference equations. Based on the approximate values of equilibrium points or fixed points obtained by PP, the precise position is calculated using the Newton method. By evaluating the eigenvalues of the variational equations with respect to the attractor, this tool can detect bifurcation points when the system parameters change.

The holidays are fast approaching and many memories come flooding back. We remember those loved ones who are no longer with us. Personally, In the past seven years, I have lost my daughter, Jennifer in 2009 and my grandson, Trey (Jennifer's only son) has been absent from our family since November- 2008. My daughter and my grandson are loved and dearly missed by me and our entire family.
To lose a child to an accidental overdose is very tragic. To also be alienated from your grandson is a double tragedy. When your child dies and is a single parent, the other parent may choose to remove the child from their natural maternal grandparents after the death of other parent. By making this choice, the parent is also alienating the child from two loving Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and maternal Great- Grandparents. This is a very selfish choice for the child. To deny a child the love from extended family members is not considering the child's feelings and frankly is, cruel. You cannot replace childhood memories nor can your deny them a loving family without that affecting the child in the future. It's heartbreaking and confusing when a child's parent dies. It's doubly tragic when they also lose all of their family members at the same time.
To my dear grandson, Trey Andrew Reynolds, (Yusuf Trey Ahmed), I want you to know you are always in my heart, always in my thoughts, and I am looking forward to the day you can re-connect with me and all of us again. I know you are a 15 years old now. I hope and pray you are happy and enjoying high school, friends and other activities. I know you live in the Tampa/Valrico area.
I'm sure by now you have an understanding that sometimes life is not fair. To lose your mother and all of your (maternal) family members is very unfortunate. I am sorry that you had to experience this tragedy. I rely on my faith in God and have hope that my prayers (to maintain a healthy relationship with you), will be answered one day. This is not an unreasonable expectation. My prayer is that your Dad will re-examine this choice and be lead by a discerning heart on your behalf.
You have four cousins now: Kadyn (remember him?) Kylie, Kaitlyn, and Emery. Kadyn, Kaitlyn and Kylie like to play video games, cook and draw. Emery is Uncle Nate's daughter. She will be turning one soon. I can't wait for you to see your cousins and Aunt Sarah & Uncle Kenny, Uncle Josh, Uncle Nate & Aunt Anessy and Pop-Pop and me again. Do you remember (great) Grandma Patty? She misses you too and would like to see you. We want to hear all about your aspirations as you continue through high school and plan for college.
To contact me:
email me at: email@example.com (or) firstname.lastname@example.com
text me anytime: (727) 542-5071

Have a wonderful holiday season and know you are always in our prayers, thoughts and hearts.
Much love,
Your Grandma

Big rise in commuters using pedal power to beat traffic
IT'S official -- cycling is back in vogue.
The number of people hopping on their bikes to avoid traffic gridlock has soared to its highest level in the past 10 years, according to new figures.
Yet, despite the downturn and the apparent increase in people trading in four wheels for two, there has also been a rise in the amount of cars travelling into the capital city in recent years.
It seems that dramatic improvements in public transport, including an expanded bus fleet and frequent Luas trips, have failed to lure many motorists from their vehicles.
Dublin City Council figures show close to 64,300 cars -- including 5,000 taxis -- were detected driving into the capital during morning rush hour.
Since 2000, the number of car journeys has slumped by 12pc. But there has been a recent resurgence, with car trips increasing by 3pc since 2004.
A decade ago, more than 73,000 people were detected driving into the city during the morning rush hour, according to the Canal Cordon count, which calculates traffic movement within the cordon formed by the Royal and Grand canals.
This had dropped in recent years as many people swapped to public transport. In 2004, just over 62,000 cars were counted crossing the canal cordon.
There has been a slight rise since 2004, with more than 64,000 cars spotted in last November's rush-hour count.
The number of people travelling on foot has slumped by 18pc over the past year from more than 18,000 to just over 15,000 pedestrians.
Last year, as people took advantage of the new Dublin bike sharing scheme and the Cycle to Work tax incentive scheme, the number of cyclists soared by 12pc to more than 6,850. An increase of 74pc has been recorded over the past five years.
The number of people signed up for the Dublin bike scheme has risen from 2,000 in September to more than 25,000.
It is estimated more than 410,000 journeys have been made. The average journey amounts to a 16-minute trip.
The number of heavy goods vehicles has plummeted since the introduction of the city centre ban, with the economic downturn possibly also a factor in the drop to 1,114 a day.
There has been a 64pc decline in the number of trucks in the city over the past decade.
The volume of buses crossing into the area has also dropped slightly from 1,814 in November 2008 to 1,735 in the same month last year.
Similarly, the number of motorcycle journeys dropped 7pc over the year.

As part of Child Passenger Safety Awareness Week through Saturday, the Police Department is urging proper use of child safety seats.
Statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration showed fatalities among children younger than 5 can be reduced by proper use of the devices.
NHTSA recommends children under 20 pounds or 1 year of age be placed in rear-facing seats, police said. Older and larger children should be placed forward with booster seats to keep the lap belt strap low on the hip and the shoulder strap below the face and neck.
For information, call public information officer Sgt. Jeffrey Maslan at 954-346-1204.

Surrounded by colour, scarves and looms, four women sit proudly showing their work.
Around 30 years ago they'd be one of a number of brocade weaver groups in the remote northern Thanh Hoa province of Vietnam. Now, the group is responsible for reviving the tradition in the area. Or more specifically, their teacher, Le Thi Cay, a Muong ethnic minority woman, is.
'I travel to villages in my district to provide training courses on brocade weaving to more local ethnic minority women,' says Cay.
World Vision helped Cay train other Muong women and she now employs sixteen staff members in her workshop to make traditional scarfs, mats and accessories. Loans from VisionFund have paid for materials and capital to set up the business.
'Initially, I received little support in my community to reintroduce this traditional art,' she says. Cay is a single mother and her son was the only person who encouraged her to pursue her dream. 'My son helped me test colours from tree routes and leaves. But the lack of funds was the worst problem.'
Cay was struggling to provide for her son at the same time as setting up a new business. With her first VisionFund loan of $95, she brought some pigs which she raised and sold to pay for materials for the brocade business.
Clients were local and regional but soon Cay supplied embroidered scarves to people in Hanoi and Hoi An. Then World Vision introduced her to a client in Japan. "It was so wonderful when they said my goods were liked in the country," says Cay.
In 2011, Cay won an international entrepreneurship award recognising the difference she has made to her local community. She wants to set up a co-operative, employ another 25 ethnic minority women and increase employee wages by up to 30 per cent. Working with her son, who is now in his 30s and has finished college, Cay wants to create more products and find more international clients.
"I believe our traditional weaving will be restored and the business will help our villagers improve their life," says Cay.
Take a look inside Cay's workshop and meet one of her employees.

But try searching for a company's services or products. For example if a company located in Madeira designs websites, do a Google search for 'web design Madeira' or 'web design Portugal'.
You will notice that our company appears on the first page of the search engine results listings, but most of the time you won't find any listings for a company on the first 4 or 5 pages. Why? Because the website has not been optimized for visitors to the site and subsequently the search engines.
Now let's face it - it doesn't matter how much you paid for your website or how attractive it is. If it can't rapidly be found in the search engines then you are losing money every single day. Now that is a very expensive website!

Coming Soon: Route 671 (General Thomas Highway) Over Nottoway River Bridge Replacement
Cost and schedule ►
Public outreach ►
Design Public Hearing held Wednesday, February 17, 2016, at Southampton County Office Center (Board Room). Documents provided at the hearing can be viewed at the link below:
This project is located on Route 671 (General Thomas Highway) in Southampton County. Route 671 (General Thomas Highway) is a rural major collector roadway with a current average daily traffic (ADT) of 5,350 vehicles per day, eight percent of which are trucks. The ADT is projected to be 9,300 vehicles per day in design year 2041. The existing right of way is 105 feet to 130 minimum, and the posted speed limit is 55 mph.
The purpose of the project is to replace two existing structurally-deficient bridges over the Nottoway River with two new bridges that meet current design standards. The proposed bridges will be constructed within the same roadway corridor. Additional right of way and utility easements will be required to widen bridges and approaches.
We are reviewing two options for maintenance of traffic:
Staged construction will consist of one lane of traffic to be maintained on the bridge during construction. Expect delays at construction site.
Detour traffic will greatly decrease cost and duration of the project and save approximately $4,800,000. Reduces construction time by half.
The roadway across the proposed bridges will carry two 12-foot lanes with 9-foot shoulders. The project also includes roadway improvements to the approaches to the bridges and new storm water management facilities.

I consider myself spiritual rather than religious. Some might even consider me a little bit heathen (see why here). But growing up I desperately wanted to be religious although my family wasn't. When I was living in Massachusetts all my friends were Irish Catholic and went to CCD in preparation for their Confirmation. They complained but I wanted to be like them and have to go to CCD too. Then when my family moved to California all my friends were Jewish and went to Hebrew School in preparation for their bar/bat mitzvahs. I totally wanted to go to Hebrew school. From this vantage point I can clearly see that I just wanted to belong to something greater than myself- a community, even a spiritual center.
I've been to plenty of churches and temples and felt nothing. I thought I was simply content to pray on my own. But last night I went to an evening mass because I was in Massachusetts visiting my friend Kelly O'Mara and I have to admit I had a pretty cool experience there. I want to explain about the service but first let me tell you about the priest I saw when I walked into the church.
Standing on the stairs were a group of very young priests clearly just out of the seminary or were even still attending. But this one, he was like an angel. He was the most beautiful human being I have ever seen - utterly perfect. I wanted to stop and stare, and I can tell you that when he gets his own parish there will be a lot of female parishioners having guilty thoughts about their priest - the confession boxes will be over-flowing. It has the potential to be all very ThornBirds except he was beautiful not in at HOT way, or Hollywood celebrity way, but in a totally pure and heavenly way. He couldn't have been over 20 years old and he had chosen to give all his beauty to God. I was impressed and am still contemplating the magnitude of it.
Does talking about a priest that way make me sacrilegious? I don't mean to sound all pervy because he was young enough to be my son, but I'm just referring to how he was objectively so spectacular. Ok, it's probably best I get on to the mass itself.....
First of all the mass was held at 5pm instead of its usual 6pm so the congregants could get home in time to watch The New England Patriots play in the Super Bowl. Also word was that there had been a special Super Bowl/Patriots mass earlier that morning. This was a very modern Catholic church who clearly had its priorities straight. But seriously, it was nice that it was so "with-it" as my mom would say. There was even a real (electric guitar and bass) band not just a cheesy flute and acoustic guitar duo. The songs - I wouldn't even call them hymns - were all uplifting. This evening mass was especially designed for teens so there were a ton of them there and they did all the readings and helped pass out the communion which I thought was a big deal. It was wonderful to see these kids doing something positive instead of skulking around the 7-Eleven trying to get someone to buy them beer. Although who knows, maybe that's what they did the night before, but somehow I don't think so. It really was a very happy, healthy place!
I don't even remember the priest's homily but I just felt good there. Comforted and at peace. It's hard to describe a spiritual feeling but when I closed my eyes I felt like I was floating along. Now was it because it specifically was a Catholic mass or because it it happened to be the right time and place for me to receive succor? Who knows. While it made me want to run out and go to another mass, for very practical reasons I wouldn't make a good Catholic. I believe in birth control, divorce, homosexuality, and pre-marital sex. And that women should be able to be priests if they want to; I don't approve of the whole patriarchal hierarchy thing. Still, I'm not one to turn down an opportunity to feel good, so next time Kelly asks me to go to church with her I'll definitely say yes.

It only takes twenty four hours for plaque that is not removed from your teeth to turn into calculus (tartar)! Daily home cleaning helps control plaque and tartar formation, but those hard to reach areas will always need special attention.
Once your periodontal treatment has been completed, your dentist and dental hygienist will recommend that you have regular maintenance cleanings (periodontal cleanings), usually four times a year. At these cleaning appointments, the pocket depths will be carefully checked to ensure that they are healthy. Plaque and calculus that is difficult for you to remove on a daily basis will be removed from above and below the gum line.
In addition to your periodontal cleaning and evaluation, your appointment will usually include:
Good oral hygiene practices and periodontal cleanings are essential in maintaining dental health and keeping periodontal disease under control!
I recently went in to have my teeth cleaned and had a great experience! The staff at Robert Chiang, DDS were very friendly and welcoming. My cleaning with the Hygienist was very comfortable - I normally find that to be the worst part. They have very up to date technology and were able to take some pictures of potential problem areas. The Dentist, Robert came in afterward to do an exam. He was very personable and professional. He took the time to explain and show me some areas that could need attention in the future. I normally dread going to the Dentist but found this experience to be pleasant. I will definitely be going back.

From Aintree to….Plumpton.
The Daily Yankee:
Champion Chase, (1450 Plumpton), 11/2: Not a horse likely to end up running in his namesake, but he has looked an improver since switching to fences. His second here last time was a good effort and this free running sort may be much improved by meeting some better ground here.
No Hiding Place, (1520 Plumpton), 9/2: A maiden after five hurdle runs but has been a pretty good second on both handicap starts. For an inexperienced horse he may not Have appreciated firstly a conditional jockey then a military amateur. He gets Nico de Boinville today, and the jockey trainer combo come here off the back of a mighty Aintree.
Cap Horner, (1555 Plumpton), 9/2: Came good in style off a nice waiting ride at Taunton recently. Was kept to better ground over hurdles but hadn't had that option in a wet winter chasing. Gets it here and run style should suit. May handle drying condition better than favourite Achille.
Baddesley Knight, (1730 Plumpton), 3/1: Has been placed in two bumpers and his second at Newbury last time was a particularly good effort, as was his close debut 3rd to two decent subsequent winners. Has Irish Odyssey to beat but he may find, as many do, that a winner's penalty is too much to overcome, and the Henderson newcomer Voyage De Retour maybe the bigger danger, but both should be chasing Baddesley Knight's shadow.

If you guys have been watching my IG stories, you might have noticed that I started doing a face mask every night. I decided to do this because last week ago I was cleaning out my bathroom and feeling so frustrated because I had no room for anything.I didn't realize I was a mask hoarder until that day, but I literally have Korean Judi Online Masks I bought from Korea years ago that I still haven't used. So I just decided that enough is enough and I'm going to really put my masks to use vs hoarding them under the sink.
It's only been a week and I've already gotten so many compliments on my skin. I finally felt confident enough to go without foundation on a shoot yesterday. I never realized how absolutely dry and dull my skin was until I started doing this–now my skin feels so soft and hydrated.
"I'm going to really put my masks to use vs hoarding them under the sink …"
A few people have been asking me what my favorite to use is, but if you watch my IG stories, literally I've been using a different one every night. I think before we talk about what my favorites are (which I'll do in a separate post), it's important to go over what we even have available to us.
5 Types of Korean Judi Online Masks
Here are the 5 different types of Korean Judi Online masks there are out there! (That I know of so far at least!)
1. The sheet mask
This specific sheet veil included in the photograph above likewise happens to be super cool and you need to infuse the serum into the cover before you remove the sheet veil from the bundling, yet most sheet covers are as of now pre-splashed with serum.
Judi Online sheet covers are stick stuffed with serum/moisturizer that gets ingested into your face following 20 minutes. (I as a rule abandon it on until the point that it begins to dry just to get the most out of the veil.) They're an awesome approach to simply sustain your skin with a very thought measure of hydration and serum.
This kind of sheet cover is the most straightforward approach to encourage your skin.
2. Charcoal Mask
Much the same as only a consistent white shaded sheet cover, charcoal sheet covers are an incredible approach to draw out pollutions and adequately light up and hydrate your skin. This Judi Online sheet veil is one of my top choices since it notices so great and the sheet cover is extremely soaked with serum. My face is for all intents and purposes dribbling when I initially put the cover on, yet a while later my skin feels stunning.
3. Elastic Masks
You all may recollect me including this cover in my blog audit "A Mask a Day with Dr.Jart." I'm an enormous aficionado of these elastic veils on the grounds that in addition to the fact that they are super fun, yet I feel like they're helpful for when you require a super extraordinary veil to carry out the activity.
This veil accompanies a different ampoule pack and it's truly the best thing ever. You apply it into your Judi Online, and the elastic cover serves to truly do what needs to be done. (The greatness of these elastic covers likewise serves to truly feel like you're simply pressing in the ampoule supplements into your skin.)
4. Hydrogel Mask
This is one of my most loved face covers that I've at any point utilized in light of the fact that I simply cherish the surface of the Judi Online. It's a considerably lighter and more slender surface than the elastic cover and this specific veil notices so great. They're super cooling and feels extremely simply like a moment skin.

5. Point Masks
I'm fixated on these little veils (and wish I had purchased increasingly while I was in Korea) since they're super simple to utilize. I can utilize them while I'm altering or on the plane. A full face/sheet cover is incredible to utilize, however I adore that these specific point veils target site particular zones of the face.

Benefits Of Hiring Commercial Window Cleaning Companies
More and more companies now opt to procure the window cleaning services from the external service providers not just for fun but due to the numerous advantages they get to enjoy anytime and every time they do so. With the relevant and appropriate knowledge and skills, the professional window cleaners have the ability to swiftly clean the organizational windows and achieve satisfactory results by us of the environmentally friendly methods and techniques. The major reasons why the professional window cleaning companies achieve better and more satisfying outcome after delivering their services is they have employees who have quality and reliable knowledge and skills which are regularly updated through frequent training plus the technologically up to date tools, equipment and materials which make the process even more simpler and effective as compared to the organizational window cleaners who mostly do not have the same advantages at their disposal. It is for the many benefits that are accompanied with the professional window cleaning option that most organizations and management prefer to hire the experts to clean their windows than have their staff do the same tasks which explain the immense migration from the DIY technique to the commercial window cleaning option.
No property owner or renter should at any one point think that keeping the windows tidy is not profitable to the business entity as it goes a long way in bringing immense benefits for the company. For companies that have rented the property they work on via leased terms, they obviously want to renew the contract when the time comes which can only be made possible when they take good are taking the good of the property and effective window cleaning is one of the techniques of achieving it. The other benefit of maintaining high worth of the property becomes evident when the company decides to sell the property, so they get larger premises to operate on and, in the long run, get lots of cash from the transaction due to the good state they maintained their property in. It is evident therefore that any company that hires professional window cleaning services stands a chance of reaping quality fruits whether they own the property or not.
It is every manager's dream to make use of the cheapest strategies in the market to achieve their goals in the business market. Firstly, window cleaning tasks are not conducted on a daily basis and hiring organizational employees to carry out the same is only a waste of resources which should be avoided at all costs since cost-effectiveness is one of the key aspects towards becoming successful in today's business world. It is costly to buy all the all the requirements needed for the process when one would have just hired a fully equipped personnel to carry out the tasks. Everyone operating in the business world would choose to go for the cheaper option which is the commercial window cleaners other than all the other options.

There is a lot to think about when deciding it's time to install a custom-built elevator in your luxury home. One of the big questions you'll likely ask when getting the elevator process underway is, how long does it take to install a custom elevator?
It's important to remember that the design process comes before the installation process. The design process begins with exchanges of ideas and drawings. It's important to go over the design concept and production. Top custom elevator builders will deliver a 3-D model of the custom elevator to the customer. This allows a customer to clearly see how the elevator will look, rather than trying to conceptualize the finished product.
For More Information Call 1-888-221-7475
The building and construction of the elevator obviously takes time. This is time that will result in a tremendous addition to your home, and you want to deal with an elevator builder that will work with you every step of the way.
You'll need to decide on things like: How many levels of the home will need elevator accessibility? It is best to go with a pneumatic or cable-driven elevator? Again, these are not all questions you need to answer on your own. Your elevator builder will work with you to come up with the answers. The design process will also involve deciding where to put the elevator in your home and how the location will impact the design.
Designing the right custom elevator takes time, but it is time and money well spent.

Wild Rivers Part 1: a bitter battleOpinion Andrew Bartlett
For the past few years, a smouldering, drawn-out battle has been developing over the impact of Queensland's Wild Rivers Act on the Aboriginal people of Cape York Peninsula, the northernmost part of mainland Australia. Issues to do with environmental protection, economic development, adequacy of government consultation and the extent and nature of Aboriginal peoples' control over the region have been argued back and forth.
The Wild Rivers Act is a piece of legislation passed by the Queensland Parliament in 2005. Since then, a number of declarations have been made designating various river basins as Wild River Areas with an aim of protecting the ecological health of those river systems. Almost all the controversy has been centred on Cape York, where to date the Archer, Wenlock and Stewart River basins have been declared, but other declarations had previously been made covering significant parts of the Gulf of Carpentaria region, as well as Hinchinbrook and Fraser Islands. More declarations are proposed covering most of the rest of Cape York, but also for the Cooper's Creek, Georgina and Diamantina River basins which cover a large swathe of south-west Queensland.
Amongst the Indigenous protagonists have been Noel Pearson - probably the most publicly prominent Aboriginal figure in Australia and a sometimes polarising one - along with his brother Gerhardt, CEO of Balkanu Development Corporation, and Cape York Land Council Chair Richie Ah Mat. They and their supporters have been increasingly vociferous in their public criticisms of the Queensland government and The Wilderness Society (TWS), the environmental organisation which has led the lobbying and campaigning for the Queensland government to adopt its Wild Rivers framework.
To put some of the issues in a wider context, it is useful to note some of the recent history of the region. Cape York was the site of some of the fiercest efforts by the former Bjelke-Petersen government to deny rights to the local Aboriginal people. Perhaps the most notorious were the court battles fought by the state government over more than a decade trying to stop John Koowarta, a traditional owner from the Wik people on the western side of Cape York, from purchasing a cattle station that covered some of their traditional lands. After eventually losing the ultimate court case in 1988, Bjelke-Petersen put his well-deserved anti-environment reputation to one side and declared the relevant area a National Park, solely to stop the transfer of land title to Aboriginal people.
The western coast of Cape York was also the scene of an even worse act by the Country Party government preceding Bjelke-Petersen in 1963, when the Aboriginal residents of Mapoon, north of Weipa, were forcibly removed from their homes by armed police and their houses burned to the ground to prevent them returning.
These same regions of Cape York were the subject of the pivotal Wik Native Title decision - a High Court ruling which led to John Howard posing with a map on The 7:30 Report suggesting the majority of the Australian landmass was now at risk of take over by Aboriginal people. This was followed by proposed amendments to the Keating-era Native Title Act which then Deputy Prime Minster Tim Fischer happily promised would deliver "bucket loads of extinguishment".
The Wilderness Society also has a history of activity on the Cape. From their Starcke campaign in the early 1990s, where they successfully worked with local Aboriginal people to stop a developer selling a large tract of land on the eastern side of Cape York, to the historic Cape York Heads of Agreement reached in 1996 with the Cape York Land Council, the Cattlemen's Union, the Australian Conservation Foundation and the local ATSIC Regional Council that existed at that time, TWS has showed a willingness to work with the Indigenous peoples of the area on conservation.
However, over the following years, both the Heads of Agreement itself and some of the relationships formed around it have slowly unravelled. TWS's perspective is that the Heads of Agreement was derailed by the Howard government, with the enthusiastic support of Warren Entsch, the local member for the seat of Leichhardt, when they failed to deliver on funding promises and consistently tried to block the conservation aspects of the Agreement. This piece by Wilderness Society campaigner Lyndon Schneiders back in 2000 gives an indication of some of the subsequent ebbs and flows in conservation efforts up until that time.
In contrast, Noel Pearson has said that "The problem is that environmental groups ran away from the Cape York Heads of Agreement. They started cutting deals with the Beattie government at the 2002 election and the 2004 election."
These strongly divergent views on what went wrong with the Heads of Agreement are mirrored in the arguments over Wild Rivers. Claims from many of the Aboriginal people on the Cape that the Wild Rivers Act breaches federal Native Title laws and halts a wide range of economic development opportunities are flatly contradicted by The Wilderness Society and the Queensland Government.
This degree of polarisation tends to lead to a 'whose side are you on?' mindset, which unfortunately can obscure some very important principles and lessons involved which all Australians could benefit from examining in a dispassionate way.
Despite gaining some national publicity, until recently the dispute had basically remained a Queensland matter. However, Tony Abbott has now leapt into the fray, not coincidentally around the same time the Liberal National Party announced that Warren Entsch, who retired at the 2007 election (where the seat was then lost to Labor), would be recontesting Leichhardt.
Mr Abbott became an unlikely champion of the rights of Native Title holders - or at least those on Cape York, (and even then only in regard to the impact of Queensland's Wild Rivers Act) - introducing his own private member's Bill into federal Parliament. Mr Abbott's Wild Rivers (Environmental Management) Bill 2010 was promptly referred to a Senate Committee inquiry, which not surprisingly then held a hearing in Cairns, as well as a brief one in Canberra.
Despite various efforts to resolve the disagreements, the arguments have become increasingly more bitter and the allegations and the name calling increasingly harsh. The Australian newspaper has been engaging in one of its more unsubtle crusades in support of the Pearson position. In their recent submission to the Senate inquiry on the issue (submission 21), TWS stated there had been 71 articles in The Australian since 2006 "where Wild Rivers has been the central topic or major component of the piece", and that "of 18 opinion pieces/editorials, just one presented a pro Wild Rivers viewpoint (from Queensland Minister Stephen Robertson), and in only six of the 52 non-opinion/editorial articles did The Wilderness Society (position) have a voice via a spokesperson."
These figures are already out of date, as The Australian has run at least four more pieces since the TWS submission was tabled, including one by Richie Ahmat from the Cape York Land Council labelling TWS as "an environmental organisation born in the genocidal context of Tasmania." The use of the term 'wilderness' has come in for criticism in recent decades for reinforcing the notion of terra nullius by implying that such areas have never been inhabited by humans, and in hindsight it would have been better if a different name had been chosen when the then Tasmanian Wilderness Society was formed. However, given this occurred around the mid 1970s, which was somewhat after the concerted overt nineteenth century efforts to exterminate the Aboriginal people of that state, it could be seen as overstating the case to try to link them specifically to the "genocidal context of Tasmania"
Mr Ahmat also told the recent Senate inquiry hearing in Cairns that "the effect of Anna Bligh's (wild rivers) laws on Indigenous communities in the Cape are far worse than anything Joh Bjelke-Petersen inflicted on us or denied us." Given the history regarding John Koowarta described above, let alone other actions (and inactions) of the Bjelke-Petersen government towards Aboriginal people, this may also seem an extraordinary statement to make. However, it does link to a reality that environmental agendas have sometimes been used, both consciously and unwittingly, to dispossess Aboriginal people and to remove their control over their own lands. This history has created justifiable suspicion amongst many Aboriginal people, and not just in Cape York, when governments use environmental justifications for policies which affect Aboriginal people and their lands.
In addition to this history on environmental issues and on dispossession, the central issue of entrenched poverty amongst Aboriginal people can't be ignored.
Entrenched poverty can create its own culture, regardless of racial background, and the burning need to escape such poverty is a growing motivation of Indigenous people across Australia. There is no doubt that well planned environmental protection measures can provide some economic opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, but that is not likely to be sufficient to relieve all poverty in the region. Hence any measure that is seen as potentially blocking economic and employment opportunities - particularly ones driven by Aboriginal people themselves - can meet resistance.
The fact that the same conservative parties which promoted bucket loads of extinguishment of Native Title and which still stridently oppose the United Nation Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples are now solemnly quoting the importance of the right to "free, prior and informed" consent as outlined in Article 19 of the UN Convention and also promoting greater rights for Native Title holders (at least for those on Cape York) may strike some people as deeply ironic. Noel Pearson stated"it is remarkable that this bill (of Tony Abbott's) - which enhances native title - is proposed by the conservatives (given) the resistance of the Coalition to native title in the past resulted in amendments in 1998 during the Howard government, which reduced the rights of native titleholders."
But in my view any wonderment at the newly emerged heartfelt belief of the Liberals and Nationals in the need to defend Land Rights and strengthen the Native Title rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, or suspicions of political expediency, or the name calling or the focus on all the claims and counter-claims mostly serve to obscure the real issue.
As Richie Ahmat also said in his opening address to the Senate Committee hearing in Cairns:
"Consent is the issue here — consent."
Part 2 of Andrew Bartlett's article on the Queensland's Wild Rivers Act will feature on The Drum tomorrow.
Andrew Bartlett was a Senator for Queensland from 1997-2008. He is standing as the Greens candidate in the House of Representatives seat of Brisbane at the upcoming federal election.

SIOUX CITY -- A Sioux City woman pleaded guilty Tuesday to her role in a December bank robbery in Le Mars, Iowa.
As part of a plea agreement, Karen Merrick, 36, entered her plea in U.S. District Court in Sioux City to one count of accessory after the fact. She had initially been charged with bank robbery.
Merrick waited in a U-Haul van for Phillip White outside Iowa State Bank on Dec. 12 and drove him away from the scene. She led authorities on a pursuit out of Le Mars and onto county roads before she was stopped in rural Plymouth County.
You have free articles remaining.
A sentencing date was not set.
White, 33, pleaded guilty in June to one count of bank robbery. He awaits sentencing.
White entered Iowa State Bank, 301 Plymouth St. NW, told a teller he had a weapon and wanted a bag of money. He left the bank with $16,190 in cash.
Witnesses told authorities they saw White get into the van that Merrick drove from the scene. Authorities recovered the stolen money from the van after it was stopped.

Do You Have a Toothache? Here's What to Do
Toothaches are common dental issues that sometimes prove to just be irritations while other times prove to be more serious. If you experience a toothache, it's important to do what you can at home to relieve it. To help you, our dentist, Dr. David Trebisovsky, is happy to give you some instructions, which are:
First, reach for your floss. Floss can be very handy in a situation like this, especially because oftentimes toothaches result from stuck food particles and objects between the teeth and along the gumline. So, grab your floss and clean around the tooth. Don't forget to clean along the gums.
Second, relieve pain. The first thing you should do to relieve pain is swish with a saltwater rinse. Just add a half teaspoon of salt to a cup of water and then swish it in your mouth for 60 seconds. This can help reduce swelling and kill bacteria. To further relieve pain, take over-the-counter pain medication if you feel it is necessary.
Third, ice outside the area. You can do this by wrapping an ice cube in a thin towel and placing it over the gums or on the tooth. You can also ice outside the cheek or lip with an ice pack if you prefer.
If these tips do not help you, a more serious dental issue could be causing the ache, like tooth decay. So, please call our office and schedule an appointment at your earliest convenience.
For more information and details about toothaches in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, please reach out to our dental team at Sandpiper Dental. All you need to do is dial 763-561-7000 and we will be more than happy to help you!
