As I mentioned in my previous GenBeauty post, this one will be all about the vendor booths! I managed to complete my list and attend all the booths at the event because I went for the whole time both days and only went to the booths – no Meet and Greets. On Saturday, I went with Nancy, Melanie, Steph and Zaibii. We didn't line up for Meet and Greets, but we did go to the Ipsy Lounge for a couple minutes when Michelle Phan got there. We also went out to lunch at a restaurant, which could have substituted a quick Meet and Greet. On Sunday, I went solo and basically ran for the remaining booths on my list. Otherwise, it was almost impossible to tackle all the booths while meeting your favourite YouTuber(s) in the allotted time.
The long lineups for the booths were affected by a variety of factors, some due to popularity while others due to activities. I think a lot of the lines took a bit because there were so many things to do in order to get swag (ie. follow the brand on Instagram, post a selfie with x&y hashtags etc.) Some of the activities were optional and used to extra products from some booths, while at others it was mandatory to get the one item. With that being said, you basically need a data plan. GenBeauty offers free wifi, but it's so slow. Halfway through Saturday, I turned off my wifi and didn't even bother to connect on Sunday.
Lineups were constantly closing and opening because it was so busy – basically when a line went past the taped lineups mapped on the floor, the line closed down. Meanwhile, some booths closed up their lines for scheduled Meet and Greets at the booth. Lines also closed early towards the end of the day, about an hour before closing time. In terms of stock, GlamGlow had to close lines temporarily and restock, and Dirty Little Secrets closed for the rest of the day on Saturday. However, on Sunday, quite a bit of booths ran out of stock before close at 3pm (Briogeo, Soo Ae, Purlisse and a couple others).
Below, I'm going to list which booths I went to on each day and the product(s) received and the activities at each booth.

There were some definitely disappointing booths at GenBeauty, where the line up was so not worth it, so you really have to pick and choose your battles. Smashbox was highly disappointing because they gave out a primer sample compared to a full sized one last year, but they offered some pretty glam lip makeovers. Also, last year, you claimed your booth swag using tear off stubs, allowing you and your friends to divide and conquer. This year they created a Bingo card where brands would cross their name out, making a bit hard to do so. All in all, I had a really fun time - especially since I got to spend the day hanging out with some friends while there. It's definitely worth going if you're a beauty lover, especially if you like some of these U.S exclusive brands because they offer some pretty good discounts on their products here as well.
Stay tuned for an upcoming giveaway featuring some of the products I received at GenBeauty! :)

January 30 – February 5
In the two years since arriving in San Francisco the world has changed. It's a loaded sentiment I give you there but then again, it really is true. The obvious, surface change: my bangs are grown out, there's new books in my apartment that I'll never get around to reading, I'm fifteen pounds heavier than my California ID says I am (100 lbs exact). And then there's a new man in my life, and a new president in the lives of millions of those who call the United States home. Good and bad, respectively.
Not so obvious, I've come to a realization. I am happier now. Or at least, I will be. The last few months were when I came to realize mistakes in love I made, bad calls in purchases of shirts and drinks and reliance in unlasting friendships, and finally my admitting of anxiety. But that shall all change again. Even as this new year is off to one of the darkest dawns of new days to come. All the opinions, the shouting, the marches, the headlines of stories that you wish were anything but the truth keep me going. The bad? It is all bad, but even worse would be if there were silence on the whole.
I am a generally quiet, if not timid person. I get in no one's way; I won't even go back to a counter at a restaurant to say that my order is completely wrong. It's easier to not cause controversy, as far as my life goes, and everything really is pleasant. So long as no one treads on this casual, innate submission. But in this time, I see now that that doesn't do much for a defining life, defining in your principles, your thoughts, your heart on your sleeve.
Maybe Hamilton has helped me understand this: "What'll you fight for [Aaron Burr] if you stand for nothing?" You couldn't have asked for a better musical soundtrack than now to really hit those sentiments I feel.
And I feel that I want to show my support, to those who need it now and to speak up alongside those braver than me. Maybe it's a mob-mentality thing, but it's comforting to contribute to the conversation— even though a lengthy Facebook status is not going to change anything. But it's spreading the awareness.
I know who I am, and I know that a miracle isn't going to save this country overnight, at least, not with my contributions. Not with anyone's actually. But it's a positive statement, to know that with all the bad that goes on now, there's going to be good. People are going to try to be good, to be better, to stand up for what's right. On the macro-level, that's comforting. But on a micro-level? The right thing to do for me is to have hope. To have a positive attitude just for my own life—the world seems to have it figured out, so why shouldn't I (well, if the world really had it figured out, there'd have to be no outcry whatsoever)? Who would I be kidding with my daily postings and angry rants and call to arms for immediate uprising? I'm not a cynic, but I am an idealist based on what realities I have faced, and I like to think that my faith in the future guarantees happiness, as far as my little life is concerned. I say that now, I am happy: my job is taking off to new directions with little limitations and more room for the creativity that I've been seeking. I'll soon be reaching my six-months marker in a relationship that for the first time in awhile, feels secure, feels like it will be forever—and maybe if it's not, that's something for the future, not now. And in this little drafty studio, still decked out in gold and mint streamers from birthday parties of yester-months and vases of white roses fake and real alike, that's where I remain; I'm still here. Still getting by in this city of mine by the Bay where it seems like I will never leave. And why would you, when everything seems to be perfect?
So I'm a year older and I won't change the world. I'm not looking to, because as far as I am concerned my world is right here in this city, with these people, and if I can't keep those things together, God help me for when I do try and keep the rest of the world from slipping into catastrophe. I just have to keep living life, but this time more defined, with a clearer sense of direction— and so long as that direction is seen through rose-colored shades. Because in this day and age, heading down that blazing road with your bare eyes will drive you mad thinking that you can do what Icarus couldn't— head straight into disaster thinking all will be well.
I think everyone else in this world is well prepared with those same shades, the ones who continue on that march in resistance to the new order. Beauty and love only changed things for the better.

Survive Camping With Young Kids
Category | THESAVVYBEAUTY.COM
Image by CampingBlueDream
So you and your husband decided that it would be a great learning experience/ opportunity for the kids if you all went camping as a big, happy family. Well most of that statement is correct. A few things you'll need to keep in mind and surely you'll have a wonderful time in nature, giving yourselves a good reset from the hustle and bustle of life. Coming home from camping was always eye-opening because you realized how incredibly lucky you were to have the common amenities we have today. If nothing else, this experience will stick with your kids for a lifetime.
A young child has needs that will have to be met. Don't plan for long hikes, crazy portaging expeditions or even mile long walks to your campground. Keep things simple, especially if this is your first camping trip with your little one. Realize a few things before you set off on your journey:
- Little ones get hungry faster
- Little ones get tired faster
- Little ones get scared easier
- Little ones get cold/hot faster
- Little ones need a little extra
So be sure to pack accordingly and always check in on your little one to make sure they are getting exactly what they need to make this trip enjoyable for everyone.
Camp Site
Choose a camp site that is not too far from civilization. You'll be toting some extra stuff so getting a car site (meaning a site where you drive right up to it) might be the right choice. Keeping extra bedding, food, comforts of home close by is reassuring to everyone – especially your child. Camping is already strange with the new sounds, darkness, and lifestyle so don't make it too hard on them at first. Some campsites may even come equipped with a power outlet so comfort can't really get any more like home.
Camping Accommodations
If you are traveling with a child 5 years and older, camping in a tent is entirely possible. You've said good bye to diapers, bottles, extra binkies and all the rest. They will be able to camp more independently especially with their family than lets' say a 3 year old. As a parent you know your child and it's up to you to determine whether they can handle a tent, cabin, or trailer for your family trip. Plan accordingly and talk to your child to keep them informed about the changes that come with camping.
Bring all their usual products like Kids Detangler Spray from Walmart.com (especially if you're going in a lake or pool), Parent's Choice Calming Lavender Night Time Baby Lotion (can be used on older kids too) from Walmart.com for $1.99 and Equate Kids 2-in-1 Shampoo Strawberry!
These will surely leave your little ones feeling like they're not far from home and delight in their delicious scents! Don't forget sunscreen, bug spray and bug bite relief! With a comprehensive packing list your family will surely enjoy their little piece of nature!

When producing your list, really feel free to include a ranking system as well. What problem is the kitchen area in? Just what is the square video of the residence? Just how much yard area is there? Just what is the listing rate? When you tighten your checklist down, the even more detailed your checklist is the much better you will be able to contrast and also contrast these residences.

I could not have been more wrong. I was hooked 5 minutes into the first episode.
I feverishly devoured the first 5 episodes that are presently out and am waiting the sixth with bated breath.
Guys, it's so good. Sooo good.
The fact that the protagonist, Satoru (藤沼 悟), has such an OP ability, but not having any control over it and always using it to help others AND in using it, things tend to backlash on him makes for a fucking TENSE drama/thriller/mystery.
The more Satoru raises the stakes and tries to help the people he couldn't help before, the more you're dreading what is to come, especially when the backlash starts to affect those around him.
My biggest fear is for a Butterfly Effect ending (director's cut). The Japanese title maybe supports this because it is titled, Boku Dake ga Inai Machi or The Town Where Only I Am Missing (僕だけがいない街). That's a pretty loaded title guys! It would be fitting too because Satoru takes so much on himself, but I don't want it to be fitting! Give me a good ending dammit!
Ach! The manga the anime is based on is ongoing! That's not a good sign for us! I hope we get a satisfying ending this season!
But still, the show is so good. Every episode is good. Watch it! (It's on Crunchyroll).
Oh, quick summary! But I mean, I thought it sounded stupid, but here you go. Satoru is a 29 year old failed mangaka (comic book writer) that has the special ability to go back in time a few minutes. He has no control over this ability, but it activates any time something bad is about to happen around him. He goes back in time, tries to stop whatever is happening, and if he is lucky, it doesn't mess with him. If he is unlucky, it has a negative effect on him. It never benefits him, but he continues to help others.
When he was a kid, there was a girl in his hometown that was abducted; he remembers thinking that if he had just asked her to walk home with him, he could have saved her. Well, after a traumatic event, his ability activates and sends him all the way back to when he was a kid: his reasoning is that the events of his childhood led to this traumatic event, so he has to change the events then to fix the events in the present. While he's there, he decides to try to save the girl he couldn't save before.
It's easily the best show of the season that I've seen, and this genre isn't even one that I am particularly keyed in to. Watch it already.

One of the least-appreciated cars in BeamNG.drive (and one of the most crashed-into) is the Ibishu Pigeon, a tiny kei truck and the only kei car in the game. There are many reasons why anyone would want to hate on it and wreck it. It's slow, with a max speed of 108 mph–and a 0-60 time of 9.9 seconds–from its 600-cubic-centimeter (cc) inline-three gas engine (and only 65 mph and a 0-60 time of 22.8-30.7 seconds from its 658-cc inline-three diesel engine). It's very prone to rolling because it has only three wheels (one steering wheel, two drive wheels); because of this tendency to roll, it's not the easiest car to drive in the game. The Pigeon is also not very good to take off-road, as its rear-drive-only setup and tiny 12×5 wheels mean that the little kei truck can't get enough grip to traverse bumps easily. It can barely tow anything at all, considering that it's a truck. The Pigeon has pretty much no safety in a crash at all, as well. But there are some great features of the Pigeon that no other car has.
Firstly, the Pigeon is very, very light. At only 1,190-1,304 pounds, the Pigeon is by far the lightest car in the game. Even its fellow compact Ibishu, the Covet, known for its light weight, is 900-1,100 pounds heavier than the Pigeon. This Lotus-like lightness means that the Pigeon can achieve insane fuel mileage. At a consistent 55 mph, the gas Pigeon averages 45 mpg, which is similar fuel mileage to a 2010 Toyota Prius.
Secondly, the Pigeon's tiny size allows it to fit into odd gaps like nothing else. A scenario called "Corridor", where the player has to attempt to drive a Pigeon van into a small space to avoid a T-Series, is a great example of this advantage. Because it is so small, the kei truck can be a great alternative to the bigger Gavril D-Series or H-Series if a smaller load is being carried.
Thirdly, the Pigeon is incredibly cheap, at 1,000-1,400 credits. Even the Covet is more expensive than the Pigeon. This cheapness means that the Pigeon can be a great demolition-derby candidate or a cheap car to have fun with.
Fourthly, the Pigeon's uniqueness in comparison to the other cars in BeamNG.drive means that it has a distinct driving style which a normal driver must adapt to. Whereas every other car in BeamNG.drive has (and most likely will have) at least four wheels, the Pigeon's three-wheeled drivetrain gives it an oddball nature that makes it more fun to enjoy than the other cars in the game.
That fun-to-drive nature of the Pigeon is also my final supporting point for the little kei truck. Even though there are faster cars in the game (i.e. the Ibishu 200BX and the Hirochi Sunburst), the Pigeon beats all of them for fun-per-dollar value by a long way. It might not be the easiest car to drive quickly, but if someone can race a Pigeon, they can race anything.
Even though the Pigeon may have only three wheels, three cylinders, three-to-five-speed transmissions, and 25-to-70 horsepower, its low price, low weight, high fuel economy and compactness allow it to be a much more fun vehicle to drive than any other. Its advantages, in a way, outweigh its deficits, which is exactly why I love the little kei truck so much. (Also, it's the FailRace-iest vehicle in the games, so that ought to be a bonus point.)

When I started watching this show, I didn't know what to expect. Folks on Twitter and knets didn't seem too impressed but some Couch Kimchi readers seemed to like it. Who was I to believe?
Four episodes in and I like it. In fact, I was already digging it by Episode 2. It's a little slow because not only does the couple have to get to know each other, we're also watching the mermaid learn to be human. However, assuming she's the same from the Joseon era, she's already experienced speaking, loving a human etc etc so she must have lost those memories, right?
I knew that the relationship between Sae Wa and the village head would go deeper than him saving her life but I was pleasantly surprised that it was a relationship that spanned several years. I love that scene of her recounting their shared past and him connecting the dots. But she obviously wanted him to remember her after she erased his memories (in both instances) so is it that the only way she could have saved him was kissing him, with the cost being his memory loss?
Speaking of which, what is up with Joseon Sung Dong Il's teeth? And why does he enjoy laughing widely and torturing us with them? LOL.
There are many dramas that I watch for the characters or romance but this is one that I'm watching for the story, or more importantly, the mysteries.
Other than being interested in what happened in the past, they've set up a few mysteries like what happened to Joon Jae's family. Why did his mom disappear and why hasn't she reached out to him or her ex? What's up with this kissing thing? We can't get invested in the couple if memories keep getting erased and they have to get to know each other all over again so how will this be resolved? Plus we need kissing scenes! We've already seen that his memories can be recovered so how will that come into play?
My favorite part of the Spanish scenes was seeing the mermaid kick everyone's asses. I always love it when the female lead can protect herself.
It's hard to pinpoint what I like about this drama but all I know is that it's entertaining. It's fun to watch all these people try to talk to someone who's basically an alien. You can't have a normal conversation with her because she doesn't know anything. LOL. You can't con her because she doesn't fall for the usual tricks. You can't threaten her because she doesn't understand the consequences. You can't even get mad at her because she's just so naive. It's hilarious! She's so clueless that a little kid has to school her in the ways of the world.
Joon Jae is more like the typical male lead chaebol son with mummy issues. I won't call him a modern-day Robin Hood because he lives well off his ill-gotten wealth but there's a social justice aspect to his criminal activities. We just need to know why he chose this life over one with his dad.
I honestly couldn't care less about the second lead female but I'm glad to see her getting her ass kicked.
I haven't said much about their romance because I'm not yet invested in it but I like that he inadvertently fulfilled his promise to take her to see the fireworks. The romance I do care about is the Joseon era's and if the preview is to believed, both will be connected in a major way when they hopefully meet again on the day of the first snowfall. I'm looking forward to it.

The Nascar Nextel Cup Series
Topics: Nextel Cup
Jim Johnson
August 16, 2006
One of the biggest events on America's sporting calendar and the most important of NASACAR's racing series is the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series. Nextel took over sponsorship of the NASACAR Cup Series back in 2004. The series was previously called the Grand National and later, the NASCAR Winston Cup Series. After taking over sponsorship, the Cup Series was changed to give new NASACAR drivers a better chance and also to make it more competitive. The NASCAR Nextel Cup "Race to the Chase" was established which added more excitement, much like a "playoff" system. After 26 races the top ten drivers in points are eligible to compete for the Cup in the last 10 races of the season. As with other NASCAR series, the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series rewards drivers can for wins and for laps led. Five bonus points are awarded to drivers who lead a whole lap during a race.
A separate Chase for the Championship is operated by the Nextel Cup Owner's Championship and the Nextel Cup Driver's Championship. Over the course of a cup series it is quite common for driver's points to differ from owner's points. It is rare for drivers and owners to be the same people in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series. This fact is due to the structure of the modern NASCAR Nextel Cup Series races tending to favour racing teams that own multiple cars.
The NASCAR Cup Series began in 1950, when it was won by Bill Rexford, still the youngest person ever to have won it. The most successful driver ever in the NASCAR Cup Series was Richard Petty, who won twenty seven races back in 1967. He was the son of previous NASCAR Cup Series champion Lee Petty. The NASCAR Cup Series has been vital in promoting the sport of racing, which started out on dirt tracks with little reward. Richard Petty was the first driver to earn over $100,000 in a NASCAR Cup Series.
Besides the skill of the drivers, it takes several others to win the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series. These include the dedicated crews who support cars during the race for the cup and also on the designers, who work year round on find ways to improve the cars for participation in the series. Computer simulations are used by NASCAR crew chiefs to assist them in judging how well cars are likely to run in the series. Most are in agreement that a strong, durable engine is the most important thing when it comes to winning the NASCAR Nextel Cup.
Nextel's sponsorship of the NASCAR Cup Series has helped to revive corporate interest in the telecommunications company. Nextel was recently purchased by the Sprint corporation to become Sprint Nextel. It is expected that this will result in next year's premiere racing competition being renamed from the NASCAR Cup Series to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. NASCAR continues to reinvent itself to appeal to the masses, to provide increased value to it's sponsors and to provide more safety to the drivers.

HÀ NỘI — Photos depicting intangible and tangible heritages of Việt Nam are on display at the Hồ Gươm Cultural Information Centre located in Hà Nội's Old Quarter, which gathers many international tourists everyday.
The exhibition showcases 100 photos comprising the winners of the Việt Nam Heritage Photo Awards 2017.
The photos are divided into five categories: Nature (landscapes, marine resources, forest resources, geological resources, plants, wildlife, the environment), Tangible heritage (architecture, sculpture, art, crafts, cultural-historical relics, antiques, and national treasures), Intangible heritage (music, dance, festival, folk games, religion), Life (daily life scenes, customs, practices, portraits), and Markets.
The organising board received nearly 3,500 photos sent by 66 photographers nationwide, according to Hoàng Trung Thủy, chairman of the jury board.
"The participants followed the content required by the organising board and expressed the topics through their eye-catching pictures," he said.
"The category that received the most entries was Life, in which photographers portray daily life from many interesting angles."
"In the category Market, the entrants brought viewers to markets in different regions nationwide and expressed the identity, culture and customs of local people in each place."
As well as individual photos, many authors sent photo collections to show visitors a panoramic view of Vietnamese heritage. One of the highlighted photo collections was taken by Nguyễn Xuân Chính, in which he reflected on the tủ cải ritual of the ethnic Dao people in the northern province of Lai Châu.
"Tủ cải is a very important religious ritual for the Dao people living in northern provinces," said Chính.
"It is the Dao counterpart to the maturity ritual. Normally all Dao boys over 10 are eligible for the ritual."
The ritual is conducted by a well respected shaman. After that the young man is given one more name to use in the other world to communicate with the gods and ancestors. To the gods, ancestors and living villagers, he is now a mature Dao man and receives respect from his community.
"This is the unique culture and traditional custom of the Dao that should be preserved," he said.
The competition was open to both Vietnamese and foreigners with the aim of collecting beautiful photos on the natural and cultural heritage of the country and promote the values of Việt Nam's national heritage to the world.
The contest is held annually by the Vietnam Airlines inflight Heritage magazine and the the Việt Nam Cultural Heritage Association with exhibitions in public places, museums and universities, to celebrate the Việt Nam National Heritage Day on November 23.
After today, the exhibition will be organised on November 21-23 at the Việt Nam Culture and Arts Exhibition Centre, 2 Hoa Lư Street, Hà Nội.
Other exhibitions will be held in HCM City, Đà Nẵng and the northern province of Hưng Yên until March 30 next year. — VNS

Any time a new technology is introduced, it disrupts values, routines and behaviours. This goes back well before the printing press replaced oral histories or the telephone replaced face-to-face conversations, but is evident today in our regular habits of checking our smartphones for notifications. Kids are growing up with the expectation of auto-playing streaming videos and having access to our phones when we need them to be quiet.
This post originally appeared on The Conversation.
Human anxieties about these changes can take years to resolve, as we slowly figure out how to control the technology to meet our values and needs, rather than being controlled by it. With the rapid pace at which new digital products and services are being developed, parents report feeling particularly overwhelmed. They fear missing out on what benefits tech might hold for their families, yet don't fully trust that electronic devices and apps are designed or marketed with their child's best interests in mind.
We doctors used to urge parents to discourage media use under age two, and to limit kids' use to two hours a day, at most. But we have now arrived at a more nuanced understanding of the various ways in which children use digital tools. Through review of the updated science, interviews and focus groups with parents from diverse backgrounds, and our own clinical experience, we are now recommending that parents use media as a teaching tool - a way to connect and create - instead of just to consume.
As a developmental behavioural paediatrician, parent of two young boys and lead author of the new American Academy of Pediatrics policy statement "Media and Young Minds", I hope to help parents shape tech use in their homes based on their human ideals and values.
Main Principles to Keep in Mind
This new policy statement represents the best medical research and academic scholarship about electronic media and health and development of children from birth through age five. Along with the associated family media-use planning website, it focuses on how parents can use electronic media together with their young children to encourage family connection, learning and digital literacy skills, in several ways:
- We emphasise teaching children that media use means more than just entertainment. It can also involve connecting with others: Video chatting, for example, is fine at any age, although infants need their parents' help to understand it. Another great use is for creating and learning together - letting the child take photos and record videos or songs, as well as looking up craft ideas. We hope parents will feel comfortable seeing digital media as a tool to meet their parenting needs, and not the thing-in-itself that controls us or our children through the attention economy or gamification.
- As far as entertainment, we recommend trusted content producers such as Sesame Workshop and PBS Kids, who design apps with the child's and parent's needs in mind. There is also Common Sense Media, a great site for finding information on digital products and answering any tech-related parenting question you can imagine.
- We recommend having unplugged spaces and times of day so that both parent and child can play, be bored or talk without distraction or feeling a need to to multitask.
- We ask parents to test apps and watch videos with their children to determine if they are good fits for their child's temperament, rather than letting the child make all of these choices. Parents are the best people to decide whether a particular app or video is appropriate for the child's current stage of development and knowledge.
- Parents should not feel pressure to introduce their children to technology early in life for the sake of seeking a competitive advantage. Kids will catch up when they are older or in school. But, if parents want to introduce media early, the youngest age we recommend is 18 months. At that age, it's important to note, parents must play or view along with the child for there to be any educational benefit, such as learning new words. Otherwise, that expensive tablet may just be a portable TV or cause-and-effect toy.
Time Limits and Rules Remain Important
We still recommend time limits (one hour of entertainment media per day - which does not include video chatting, taking pictures, using with parents as a learning tool and the like) and rules, for several reasons. First, paediatricians are trained to be child advocates, making us naturally protective. In our day-to-day experiences with families in clinics, we see children having difficulties with sleep, obesity, school, relationships or behaviour that appear to be intertwined with problematic media habits.
We hear parents asking for concrete guidance from us about the role digital devices might play in their families' lives. They want to know what to let their child watch and how much of it. They ask about how to make sure their child can be tech-savvy without ending up in a position where the child prefers and will choose digital play to the exclusion of other important activities.
Parents also tell us that they don't want their child to be spoon-fed information by online media. In addition, they're concerned about apps determining their child's play ideas. And they want help finding alternative activities to really encourage the creativity, persistence and cognitive and social-emotional skills kids need to flourish in school.
Overall, the research still shows that excessive media use is associated with poorer sleep, higher obesity risk and developmental outcomes such as poor executive function (the "boss" of our brain that helps us focus, control impulses and plan), so we want parents to prioritise unplugged, social and unstructured play as much as possible.
Parents have always been interpreters of the world for young children. If kids are to grow up with a healthy concept of what digital tools are and how to use them effectively, creatively and kindly, we need to teach them. This means both guiding them directly and modelling with our own behaviour from the very start. The longer-term goal is to raise kids who see us, their parents, as guides when they encounter weird stuff online or have negative interactions on social media.
We want to raise kids who don't react to negative emotions by spewing out their feelings - sometimes at others' expense - online, nor binge on videos or games. We want to raise kids with good sleep habits, healthy bodies, a variety of interests and curiosity about the world, who feel good about their learning and their relationships, both on- and offline. We hope our new guidance can help us all - parents, medical professionals and children alike - achieve that.
How should we teach our kids to use digital media? [The Conversation]

How true is that., when i googled I don't find much info about that. Is that made up for film or do Germans gesture like that.

1I'm inclined to agree. – Tablemaker May 12 '14 at 14:21
Yes, it is true.
- I am German myself and this is not a regionalism.
- Wikipedia says so.
For future exploration about subtle differences:
- Different systems to tell the time within Germany (expect passionate discussions about why the cake method is or is not the right one).
1I have read the question and the answer several times, and I still have no idea what is being asked, or why the answer is correct. :p – JohnP May 12 '14 at 18:18
@JohnP Have you seen the movie? It should be obvious then. – his May 12 '14 at 18:25
@JohnP The question asks if it is true that Germans hold up three different fingers than US Americans when they want to indicate the number "3". Being German myself, I can confirm his's answer. ;) – magnattic May 13 '14 at 15:25
@magnattic: Being German myself, I consider this claim to be false. It is true that when counting, Germans are likely (though not guaranteed) to start with the thumb. However, for indicating a single number, it's mainly the total number of fingers that's relevant, and both thumb-index-middle and index-middle-ring seem equally common and natural to me. But maybe things were still different in the days of WW2? – O. R. Mapper Jan 9 '18 at 10:43

Real values can have meaning to man only when he steps on the spiritual path, a path where negative emotions are polished out of his or her life.
It's never too late to change the programming implemented in Christhood, carried in our genes or deliver from previous lives, the solution is mindfulness in the lives of young suffering generation of children. When you do things from your soul you feel a river of love moving in you a joy. Thus to speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant but to live gratitude is to touch heaven and a God's child raising him or her from extreme ends of poverty to real life.
I really appreciate compassion international which supported me from my childhood up to the time I graduated from the programme which enabled me to grow spiritually and whom I am. All this is Christ love in my sponsor in compassion programme. She is my role model and she inspired me to live like Christ.
MANISHIMWE NELSON is a Christian, hope fulfilled and a generation to come. He's the neighbor next door, asmilling stranger and an available friend. He's a consistent mover who doesn't believe that failure is final. His inspiration is from Philippians 1:20 "my deep desire and hope is that I shall not fail in my duty, but that all times I shall be full of courage so that my whole being shall bring honor to Christ whether I live or die". The compassion programs really helped me become a person with Godly,values,aperson who interacts well with others and a person who believes in hard work. With the help of compassion, my sponsor and the church, I now have this desire to help the people in need. I want to help people who were in the same situation as I was before. This is my motivation, I have a God given passion for the lost .
"Good actions give strength to ourselves and inspire good actions in others and without us above our selves we cannot do great things on this earth, only small things with great love"

No Lunch, Free or Otherwise, at The Atlantic Room
Decidedly in the mood for something exotic and oceanic, like the Mediterranean sea bass with asparagus, grape tomato, leek, rocket citrus-rosemary vinaigrette and three onion soubise ($16) I had read about on the restaurant's web site, my anticipation and mood mounted with every twist and turn of the long (nearly 7 miles) and scenic road that runs from The Sanctuary to the clubhouse's gorgeous front door.
The entire setting is so perfectly beautiful and peaceful, it seems surreal. White dunes and grasses wrap around the early twentieth century style mini-manse of a clubhouse while the surf crashes all around. Mega-manse private homes, many of them with similar architectural, shingle-clad styles, dot the higher ground like jewels of the super-rich to whom they must belong. It's easy to get swept away and dream you're one of them, at least for a day.
The Atlantic Room, with relatively pricey lunch-time rates ($10-$18) and prime ocean views, seemed like just the place to play this particular dream game. Alas, it was not to be. I was informed upon arriving at the empty (albeit sumptuous) dining room that lunch is not being served at the restaurant "this season," but instead is offered in the neighboring Ryder Cup Bar. My spirits dimmed slightly as the anticipatory edges of my dream lunch started to fray, but I figured I'd still be able to select from The Atlantic Room's menu even if I had to eat it in a bar with a bunch of rowdy bankers and a distracting flat-screen television.
Wrong again! As the menu proved, this is a soup, salad, sandwich and sushi room only - with more of those blindingly beautiful views. Resigned to have a good time, I settled into a glass of Chardonnay and the "bagger burger" ($15). A great burger it was, too. Composed of perfectly cooked-to-temperature ground Black Angus beef and topped with savory pepper bacon, gooey smoked cheddar, a garden-full of fresh Bermuda onion, tomato and crisp lettuce, it was served with a mound of lukewarm fries and hot onion rings.
Though lunch at the Ryder Cup Bar was good, there are times that demand something more than a good sandwich. This was one of them.If the web site hadn't promised lunch at The Atlantic Room, I probably would have stayed at The Sanctuary and supped at Jasmine Porch.
It just goes to prove, don't believe everything you read. One should expect more from a resort of Kiawah's caliber. At a minimum, restaurant menu/hours information should be accurate. If it was just a few days out of sync, no problem. But, when I politely suggested to my young server that someone at corporate should be told, she apologetically explained that they had been told about it several times but nothing had been done about it to date.
I'll have to wait a while for this kind of mood to strike again and venture out to sample the enticing-looking Atlantic Room for dinner, but next time I'll call first. For now, I'm going to go downstairs and rejoin the masses while I consume the left-over half of the Ryder burger in the relatively humble confines of my real life living room. I wonder if it will taste as good? I'm betting not.

Yes - Ken sold it a while back, maybe 3 months? He's planning on opening another restaurant in the space where Johnson and Wales used to be. I think the new owner of Sienna's space is planning on opening a new restaurant soon, but I haven't heard details. Trattoria Lucca, Vedrinski's latest restaurant, is alive and well and thriving, however. It's very good.

Culinary Cost-Cutting 101
When I was a little girl, I marveled while watching my Great Aunt Frances sitting at her linoleum-topped kitchen table, cutting coupons from the daily newspaper in the tiny Kansas town she lived in until she was nearly 100 years old.
It seemed like such a waste of energy in order to save a few pennies on, what I thought, were probably things she wouldn't normally buy anyway. But, I was naive. She, a thrifty survivor of the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl, had her coupon system down pat and it's probably one of the reasons she made it through a long life of hard times, many of them spent alone.
The latest bout of monetary unpleasantness, however, has created a market for New Age couponing systems. The internet now has a number of hot coupon sites (I like couponmom.com) which provide free, brand-name coupons and more if you select to register as a member. They're just a click, a printer, and five minutes away. In addition, many grocery stores' websites offer lists of daily specials. And, here's the kicker. Many provide selections from the kind of items you usually purchase, anyway. That was it for me. The last straw supporting my long-standing anti-coupon mindset finally broke its resistant back.
Harris Teeter's online specials shopping list became this list-hater's new best friend. I dipped into it with reckless abandon. With a little practice and increasing knowledge, I'm slowly forming my own semi-profitable coupon system. By combining the free manufacturer's coupons from sites like couponmom.com with a daily special shopping list constructed from Harris Teeter's web site (harristeeter.com) , my handy VIC card, and an extra dose of concentration at the grocery store, I have scored some serious savings.
The best yet happened last week. Granted, it was a big sales day at the downtown Teeter. The store was offering buy one get one, two or even three, all over the place on big ticket items like beef, coffee and wine. Since I'm expecting company in a couple weeks, I decided to stock up on these and other staples. The net result was a whopping $67 total savings. In essence, I bought three weeks-worth of groceries for less than I usually spend in one week!
My heart raced with anticipation as I watched the basket cave with the weight of my cache and the numbers creeping slowly higher on the cash register. Then, as the cashier started calculating in the selected coupons, the numbers amazingly started going down. It was like getting on the scale after a week of gorging Haagen-Dazs only to find you'd lost five pounds. I was beaming. She was beaming and said, "You did good today!"
Admittedly, a follow-up trip to replenish the fresh vegetable drawer just one week later only yielded $10 in savings, but next time I'll do better. I'm on a coupon-crazed mission. Intelligent use of coupons and smart shopping add up to saving a lot more than pennies. And, I'm not in Kansas anymore.
One Plucky Chicken, Four Marvelous Meals
With grocery costs rocketing to the stratosphere, it's imperative to save wherever you can at the supermarket without eliminating taste. In addition to reaching for reduced daily specials, what you buy and how you put it to use in your kitchen can happily translate to huge savings with bodacious bite.
In this era of grocery gouging, chicken can become your new best friend for just pennies per four ounce serving when paired with practical pantry staples like pasta and veggies. Low in fat, high in protein and exceptionally versatile, chicken marries equally well with the exotic (think truffles or saffron) to the humble (think roasted potatoes and rosemary).
For these reasons, it's a regular menu guest at my house, where I pride myself on transforming a single, four pound chicken (preferably organic and purchased at a reduced rate) into four fabulous feasts for a group of four. That's sixteen meals, folks! A four pound chicken runs anywhere from $6-$10 (depending on where and how you shop), throw in a little change for ingredients to flesh it out into a meal (4X), and you're looking at less than $20. A night out for a family of four at any fast food favorite will set you back the same amount or more faster than you can say "heart attack".
Gotcha? Let me tell you how it's done!
Meal #1: This is the launching pad for the meal plan event(s) – a whole roasted chicken. Since it's going to be transformed several times, keep the seasoning simple – ground pepper, a nice crust of coarse salt and a rub down with olive oil. Roast at 425 until done (about 20 minutes per pound) and top it with a few love pats of butter to sink deeply into the bird. Allow the roasted chicken to rest and re-absorb its juices. Cut the both legs and thighs away from the chicken (reserving warm). Cut the breasts away from the rib cage, cool and store in your refrigerator for later use. Serve both legs and both thighs with steamed vegetables and roasted potatoes for a satisfying, nutritional meal. Go ahead and prepare a pan gravy with a little roux, white wine, chicken stock, Dijon mustard and fresh tarragon to dress things up, but hold on to the carcass!
Meal #2: Start this after the roast chicken dinner to prepare for tomorrow's old-fashioned and DELICIOUS chicken noodle soup. With a sturdy chef's knife, cut up the reserved carcass remnants – the rib cage and spine – into four or five coarse chunks and put them in a two quart soup pot with a quartered onion, carrot, celery stalk and a clove or two of garlic to make an impromptu stock. Add a few peppercorns, a bay leaf and fresh thyme for added flavor. Bring it up to a boil, reduce to a slow simmer over low heat and forget about it for three to four hours. Allow to cool and refrigerate, covered, overnight.
About thirty minutes before you're slotted to serve dinner, skim off any accumulated fat off the top of the stock, strain it, discarding all solids except any bits of chicken flesh. Finely chop an onion, carrot and celery stalk and sauté them in the same pot with a tablespoon of olive oil until softened. Season, return the strained stock to the pan and bring up to a boil. Add reserved chicken and about ¼ pound of dried pasta (flat noodles, spaghetti, linguini – your choice) and cook until tender. Serve with a drizzle of fresh herbs (parsley, tarragon, or thyme will do) and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. A small, fresh salad and warm baguette make this a meal.
Meal #3: Chicken Salad Deluxe! This is where you can really have fun with chicken's flavor/texture marriage versatility. Cut one of the reserved breasts into chunky, ½" cubes and toss in a bowl with coarsely chopped dried cranberries (or another dried fruit like figs or currants), coarsely chopped roasted almonds, fresh herbs, a dollop of Dijon, a dash of mayo and vinegar, salt and pepper and you've got a meal in minutes over a bed of greens. Other flavors that work in tandem with chicken include curry, paprika, cinnamon and almost any fresh herb imaginable. Make this your own!
Meal #4: Chicken Sandwiches Supreme! Again, versatility and imagination set the stage for show-stopping chicken sandwiches prepared with freshly roasted chicken breast. Go for the best quality bread you can find, from baguette to whole grain, and fill it with thinly cut slices of the remaining breast and toppings. One sliced breast will handily complete four sandwiches. Zip up mayo with fresh basil and Dijon mustard for a fresh, personalized sauce, top with a slice of red onion and crisp romaine. Go whole hog and add a few pieces of browned bacon and a slice of avocado if the mood moves.
Chicken never tasted so good for so little.

"Marriage should be about fun," she says gently. "It's about friendship, and laughter, and trust, and fun. If it's not fun, if you take it all too seriously, what's the point? You know I've been with Andy for fifteen years, and the reason it still works is because he's my best friend and he still makes me laugh. Admittedly, not all the time, and often we get completely bogged down in work, and the kids, and life, but he's still the person I most want to phone when anything happens in life, and he's still the person who makes me laugh the most."

ACCRA, Ghana – U.S. Africa Command's command senior enlisted leader visited the command team of the Ghana Armed Forces to survey requirements for a new enlisted-focused partnership, Aug. 6-7, 2018.
Following the success of AFRICOM's Africa Senior Enlisted Leader conference last November, U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Ramon Colon-Lopez is leading an effort to provide senior enlisted professional military education for African partners.
"The non-commissioned officer corps is the backbone of any military," Colon-Lopez said to an auditorium full of Ghanaian Armed Forces Soldiers. "If you have an effective NCO corps, you will automatically have an effective and efficient armed force."
Colon-Lopez plans to stress the significance of empowering non-commissioned officers and bridging the gap between a longtime African tradition of separating officer and enlisted roles and responsibilities.
"For the first time since our inception in 2008, AFRICOM will include NCO development in the campaign plan," Colon-Lopez told Ghana's senior enlisted from every branch including the Air Force, Army and Navy. "We have the full support from our commanding general, General Waldhauser. In fact, he testified to the United States Congress how important NCO development is to the success of a military."
The senior enlisted plan will focus on four African partner countries per year. In 2019, AFRICOM will provide professional military education for Botswana, Ghana, Liberia and Malawi. Countries are selected based on their willingness to include NCO's in the decision-making process at the highest level.
"The last thing I want to do is come here and assume what works for the U.S. Armed Forces will work for you," Colon-Lopez said when asking Ghana Armed Forces soldiers and airmen for their wants and needs.
Ghana Armed Forces junior and senior enlisted gave consolidated feedback to the visiting U.S. team. They asked for professional military training either from a U.S. training team sent to Ghana or Ghanaian military personnel sent to the U.S.
"He's my brother from another mother…and another county," said Ghana Armed Forces Sergeant Major, Chief Warrant Officer Ramous Barker referring to Colon-Lopez and the striking similarities in their first names, their positions, date of entry and date of appointment.
Barker provided Colon-Lopez a tour of Ghana's Air Force, Army and Navy headquarters including short visits with each branch's commanding officer. Barker encouraged airmen and soldiers to provide Colon-Lopez candid feedback of their desires and necessities.
"We are young compared to the United States, but our time is now," Barker said addressing Ghanaian troops. "I believe there is always a starting point. One day, when you lie in your grave in peril, you will hear the sound and laugh. You'll think, 'I used to belong to that profession.'"
One Ghanaian soldier asked the senior enlisted team how to better bridge the gap between officers and enlisted.
"Credibility and reliability," answered Colon-Lopez. "If you prove yourself to be a trusted, value-added NCO, your officer will empower you. There are two types of individuals who join the military. Some join for a job or a paycheck. Some join because they truly want to serve. If you are here to serve and you take on your responsibilities, you might get to the point where you don't even see your officer. That's how much he or she trusts you."
Last November, AFRICOM's first Africa Senior Enlisted Conference hosted 32 African senior enlisted leaders. Colon-Lopez and team predict a minimum of 54 senior enlisted in attendance this year in October.

Fiber stubs are used throughout telecommunications, from TOSA/ROSA components to field installable connectors. The ability to precisely generate optical grade cleaves at defined positions from the ceramic ferrules is an advantage of laser processing. As the tip of the cleaved fiber stubs are often inserted into polymeric v-grooves for alignment, the ability to deliberately round the edges is often necessary.
The optical quality of laser cleaved fiber stubs is unsurpassed, providing a highly reproducible cleave angle and an exceptionally low-scatter surface for enhanced performance. The laserCleave process also control the amount of corner rounding to aid insertion and optimise core contact.
As a non-contact process, laser cleaving minimizes the risk of mechanical damage, moreover the laser cleave can be accurately positioned with reference to the ferrule, or other mechanical reference for excellent length reproducibility.
Laser cleaved fiber stubs can be created with fiber protrusion of virtually any lenght from just a few 100 microns, to suit the needs of your application.
Moreover, the reliability and reproducibility or the process, together with the ability to process parts already assembled into fixtures or ferrules, allows the whole manufacturing sequence to be optimised, with the laser cleaving process, which produces the final optical quality end, carried out as the final step in the assembly.
