Hold onto your hats and grab your credit cards! Mitski is coming to Australia as part of the Laneway Festival in 2019! Known for her powerful stage presence and emotionally raw performances the Japanese-American singer-songwriter has been praised by the music industry legends and experts such as Iggy Pop and Vulture magazine. Having released her latest album "Be the Cowboy", Mitski's indie-rock music is setting off on a whole new adventure, and Australian fans will be able to witness the birth of this new (albeit previously-teased) persona - a woman in control.
If you haven't had the chance to before, Laneway Festival is truly an event you need to see at least once in your lifetime. The first Laneway Festival came together on a challenge from Aussie band The Avalanches. "We said 'Why not throw a first birthday party for the bar?' We got excited and then thought 'Well why don't we try and close this Laneway down? After a few drinks with The Avalanches one night we asked, 'If we closed this lane down would you guys play? They said 'You won't be able to close this lane. So if you do, we'll play.' Said Danny Rogers, Laneway co-founder.
With a line-up pulled from acts who played the Summer Series, along with headliners in The Avalanches and touring Canadians The Dears, the debut festival pulled 1400 people into a very tight laneway in Melbourne's CBD. The event now spans Melbourne, Adelaide, Auckland, Brisbane, Fremantle & Singapore across Summer.
Listen to 'Asian Pop Radio' here, where we stream Asia-wide hits 24/7.
Be sure to grab your tickets while they are on sale - you won't want to miss out on this electrifying performance!
Mitski will be performing on at the following venues:
Sydney :
4th of Feb (Monday) - Oxford Art Factory http://moshtix.com.au
7th of Feb (Thursday) - Corner Hotel cornerhotel.com

Do breaches open the door for biometrics?
31 May, 2013
category: Biometrics, Corporate, Digital ID
With 76% of network intrusions blamed on stolen or exploited credentials and weak passwords it would seem obvious that more needs to be done to secure these credentials and make them more difficult to crack.
The research from the Verizon 2013 Data Breach Investigations Report shows that better security is need to protect online identities and that biometrics may play a role, "Username-password combinations, for a variety of reasons, are inherently weak — at least while they are used alone. However, when used in combination with another method of identification — form factor — we can boost the strength of username-password combination and improve our online security," according to Verizon.
Two-factor authentication with one-time passcodes is gaining popularity – Twitter recently unveiled the functionality for users after a spate of hacks. But biometric technology is also in the mix. "Biometrics – a fingerprint, an iris scan, a voice sample – offer a great deal of promise in creating an online identity system that utilizes multi-factor authentication techniques. Think of any futuristic science fiction program or movie and you will know that these concepts are not new.
Android user can used facial recognition technology to unlock handsets and banks are adopting voice recognition to authenticate consumers in call centers.
"The time is quickly approaching where the barriers preventing widespread adoption of biometrics will begin to fall. The cost of hardware is decreasing, bandwidth is increasing and processing techniques are improving. The result is a strong business case for utilizing biometrics as part of a broader scheme to validate online identities."
See the full Verizon post here.

Do you know anyone who just can't get their lipstick right? These tips and tricks allow even the most clumsy person to create perfect lips.
#5 – Create Smooth Lips With This Exfoliant
Gather the following ingredients:
- Salt

- Small empty container
Make a paste using the above ingredients and keep in a small container with a tight lid. Use as needed as a lip scrub.
#4 – Don't Leave A Mark On The Rim
To prevent leaving a lipstick ring on the glass, inconspicuously lick the rim of your glass before drinking out of it.
#3 – Prevent Lipstick Bleeding
Use clear lip liner around the edges of your lips so the lipstick won't bleed around your lip borders.
#2 – "X" Marks The Spot
Draw an "X" across your top lip at the highest point (the Cupid's Bow) to trace your lips.
#1 – Don't Forget A Sealant
Use a "lipstick lock" over your regular lipstick to keep it in place.

Project Location: Howard County, MD
Description of Project: The Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA), Office of Traffic and Safety (OOTS), Traffic Engineering Design Division (TEDD) has requested KCI Technologies, Inc. (KCI) and T3 Design (T3D) to prepare plans for formal advertisement to upgrade the existing roadway lighting at the interchange of US 29 at MD 32 and Rivers Edge Road in Howard County. Due to the complexity of the project, multiple redline revisions were required to complete the plan set.
T3D's Role in Project: T3 prepared interchange lighting base plans at a scale of 1" = 50' and performed a field inventory to verify existing lighting features such as light pole and sign structure locations and numbers, manhole locations, lighting cabinet locations, and junction box locations on parapets/concrete barriers.
T3 conducted a photometric analyses for the corridor in AGi32 to comply with SHA roadway lighting guidelines. T3 developed photometrics in point-by-point format along with the relevant statistics for each area including the uniformity ratio, veiling ratio, and minimum-maintained lighting level. All luminaires were designed to remove high pressure sodium fixtures and install new 280 Watt LED cobrahead luminaires.
Once SHA approved the photometrics, T3 prepared lighting plans for Final Review and PS&E milestone submittals. These plans included the location of all proposed lighting poles and underpass luminaires, manholes, and new control panels and existing light poles to remain or to be removed. The appropriate "tag" was shown for each pole indicating the location, size, circuit, and number of each type of connector kit. Electrical manholes also were shown with the connector kit tag, and T3 prepared a Schedules of Poles, Panels and Manholes.
T3 also prepared voltage drop calculations, coordinated the new electrical services with SHA's Traffic Engineering Design Division (TEDD), placed a service application request with Baltimore Gas & Electric, calculating limit of disturbance areas and cut and fill quantities which were shown on erosion and sediment control sheets.

Easter Imperatives - Come Follow Me!
Pastor Wayne Braun continued his series, "Easter Imperatives" with his message on 4/22/18 entitled, "Come Follow Me" from John 21:15 - 19. We live in an imperfect world that demands perfection. Often this is a perfection based on comparison that drives us to do all sorts of thing to keep our place - much like a game of musical chairs. Behind such fears is the ultimate fear - does God have a place for you and me? Nothing speaks comfort to our fear of rejection like the story of Peter. Jesus takes time to speak grace to Peter. "Follow me" John 21:19. That's the message of Easter - God has a place for sinners. Just as He did for Peter, Jesus takes time to speak His Easter imperative to you and me.

The two primary cognitive vulnerabilities that place individuals at heightened threat of melancholy are interpersonal sensitivity and too much focus on accomplishment to feel worthwhile.. Assessing and treating mixed depression and anxiety How can clinicians make sense of sufferers experiencing both melancholy and anxiety, and choose treatment? This article evaluations the overlap between major depression and the many anxiety disorders and details the various pharmacological and mental therapeutic options. Comorbidity of depression and anxiety is associated with more severe illness generally. The many clinically useful approach to choosing treatment for sufferers with mixed depressive disorder and anxiety is definitely to determine which disorder was the first ever to appear.The more powerful you are, the greater intensity the workouts. The higher the intensity, the longer your body will take to recuperate. Development doesn't happen in the gym remember, but as long as you're resting. Just make sure you're eating more than enough calorie consumption to grow that brand-new muscle you've stimulated.
Cell-penetrating nanoparticles can efficiently transport oligonucleotide medicines into cells Therapeutic oligonucleotide analogs represent a fresh and promising category of drugs that act in nucleic acid targets such as RNA or DNA; nevertheless, their efficiency has been limited due to difficulty crossing the cell membrane. A new delivery approach based on cell-penetrating peptide nanoparticles can transport charge-neutral oligonucleotide analogs into cells efficiently, as reported in Nucleic Acid Therapeutics, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers.

I wish I could be as care-free as "Ava" (and maybe just as good at drawing)
Decloak (Guest):
Cute Decoys.
"Cute decoys"
...oh god, more people to ship with Moth.
I like Ava! :D She's adorable with her sketching!
AVA IS SO CUTE. I WANT HER. I want a toy of her.
dirty socks (Guest):
Ava needs a harness thing to keep her drawing board propped in front of her so she can dual-wield her pencils!
As soon as she's done.
Which is now... XDDDD i love you're manga!
"What if their plan was to lead us away from the ship?"
"it worked..."
Mike (Guest):
Also, not to be nit-picky, but the first panel Ava is in, the first "SKETCH" has a K at the end instead of an H.
Just read your whole archive and lovinng this comic! ^^ can't wait for more!
Ava needs to join Melody's crew just for the comic effect. On every page, there would be at least one panel of SKETCH SKETCH SKETCH SKETCH
Razer (Guest):
Is that a sword Neiren has? If it is I don't want to be insulting, but it looks like the top part of an anchor. Which would be really cool because those things are heavy as heck and that would mean she's awesomely strong. Love the comic. :)
super big mac:
The use of a letter at the end of a word that, in conjunction with a repetition of said word, changes the first word so that the second is more like a continuation of the first, instead of it's own word. "Sketck Sketch" Just shows that there was a slight pause between two lines that were either rigt next to each other, or attached, such as a corner that was less tan perfect.
... I'm not just speaking out my ass here, people. I actually LOVE critique work, and that's one reason why I'm trying to land a job as a game tester.
... Although, since not many people are as intense of a habitual critic as I, it is quite understandable that the author of this exemplary comic didn't even know it.
@super big mac
It's totally a typo ^^;
K and H are similar to write, so my brain didn't even register that I wrote the wrong one.
super big mac:
Yeah, duh. I'm a brainiac on the web, so what do you think I'm gonna do? I was tryin' to save your face, y'know. ;P I knew it was a typo, but it also COULD have been as I had said. It's no different than when someone is gasping for breath and says "There's a big fif- fish, over there, eating the townspeople!" I know many people who might speak like that if they start talking rapidly, or while out of breath.

I was invited to browse the new Springfield collection for Summer 17. As someone who shops at Springfield regularly, I was already familiar with their brand, their style and the quality of their clothes.
Their Summer 17 collection is full of prints, at least when it comes to T-Shirts and shorts. But what I like the most about the Springfield collections in general are those plain shirts and chinos. Like the ones you can see on the photos. That's actually the closest style to the one I usually wear.
Some nice chinos, in blue, gray or sand colour in combination with plain shirt is what actually works for me. You can always put some T-Shirt with a print under your shirt to get that easygoing Summer look.
Take some sunglasses, swim shorts, hat and a backpack with you and you're all set for those careless beach days. Looking good, without having to compromise on quality and without having to spend a fortune is what Springfield is about. So, now that you know that, check out their collection online or visit the stores and the endless Summer can begin.

Subdued profitability caused by low interest rates could push banks toward riskier activities, a top European regulator has warned.
"Low profitability is obviously a major concern for the stockholders of banks. And it is also a concern for supervisors. Over the long term, low profitability threatens the ability of banks to generate capital and access financial markets. Ultimately, a lack of profitability affects the stability of banks," Daniele Nouy, chair of the European Central Bank's supervisory board, told an audience in London today.
"Weak profitability might push banks into a hazardous search for yield. And we do observe a trend towards higher risk-taking by banks. Certain banks in the euro area have, for instance, invested in leveraged finance such as high-yield bonds."
She said recent falls in bank shares and concerns over profitability were reflections of "weak economic growth and a prolonged period of very low interest rates."
Rates could fall further as soon as next month, with the ECB expected to slash the interest rate it pays on deposits further into negative territory. Nouy said low rates depleted profitability because incomes are correlated to market rates and it is difficult to pass negative interest rates onto customers.
"Earnings on a significant portion of their assets are correlated to market rates; and second, because yields on newly acquired assets are usually well below those of expiring assets. At the same time, banks cannot fully reap the benefits from decreasing funding costs because they tend to avoid paying negative interest on their customer deposits," she said.
Nouy said that instead of investing in high-risk assets, banks "could expand their non-interest business operations"
"And we indeed observe that banks compensate for lower interest income by increasing their fees."

Here at our vape shop, we get asked about the difference between vegetable glycerin and propylene glycerin on a daily basis. The distinction can be quite confusing, so we're here to clarify the whole thing for you. First things first, we will be referring to propylene glycerin as PG and Vegetable Glycerin as VG for simplicity.
Typically, e-juices are only composed of four simple ingredients: PG or VG, water, nicotine, and flavoring. About 10% of e-juices contain flavoring and nicotine, and the rest are a combination of PG or VG and water. To understand the differences between the two, we will be referring to 100% VG and PG content.
Related: E-Juices for Beginners
Related: Vaping Temperature Control
Overview of Propylene Glycol (PG)
In its purest form, Propylene Glycol is an organic compound derived from Propylene Oxide. Its property is odorless, low viscosity and colorless. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration dubbed this compound safe as a food grade. You can find PG used as a humectant, solvents, tobacco products, food preservatives, pharmaceutical, and e-juice.
Overview of Vegetable Glycerin (VG)
Vegetable Glycerin is extracted from plant-based oils like coconut, palm and soy. It is an all-natural liquid with properties that are relatively viscous, odorless and colorless. Just like PG, it is considered to be safe for consumption as a food grade by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. VG is commonly used for food production, cosmetics and e-juice.
Related: Tips for Vapor Production
Propylene Glycol as an E-Juice
PG is the most preferred base by many vapers. The reason lies behind a lower viscosity content than VG, which makes it simple to fill a cartomizer, atomizer or cartomizer. If you're afraid of gunk build up, PG is the best base for you because it is low density. In addition to this, wick materials and polyfill fabrics absorb them a lot faster.
As mentioned before, PG is odorless and tasteless which makes it the best candidate for little to no flavor distortion. Because of this, e-juices incorporated with PG tends to have a more concentrated flavor and higher throat hit compared to VG. PG tends to reach a state vaporization faster which makes it feel warmer and enjoyable to the taste. However, due to its low viscosity, it tends to produce lower-dense vape clouds.
Vegetable Glycerin as an E-Juice
VG is not as popular as PG since it has a higher viscosity. However, vapers who enjoy creating highly dense smoke clouds use this e-juice base. This is ideal for many beginners since VG produces a less throat hit. Unlike PG, VG is slightly flavored which tampers with added flavoring; This, in turn, creates a sweeter content. Compared to PG, VG has a tendency to deliver dry flavors as well as gunk build ups.
We are the number one best vape shop in the city of Las Vegas! Come stop by to sample some of our e-juices to see what best fits your preference. We have a variety of flavors both packed with either VG and/or PG!

A series of Warner Robins car break-ins has people in the International City taking notice.
About 30 cars were broken into between Saturday and Monday, according to Warner Robins police reports.
Many of them happen at night and police say it's not unusual to see them spike during the holidays.
Data shows they were much more common in some areas than in others.
Four break-ins were reported over the time period on Southland Station Drive. Several more were reported in neighborhoods near Marion Way. At least a half dozen happened in apartment complexes near Leisure Lake Drive.
The big apartment parking lots can be a tempting target, with so many cars parked close together, but the break-ins didn't only happen at apartments.
"At my house, somebody stole my car," said Crecia Wilson.
Wilson lives on Brentwood Drive, a sleepy cul de sac off Feagin Mill Road. She said her son Cole Simmons' car was parked outside the house Friday night.
"It was locked," recalled Simmons.
But according to a Warner Robins police report, that didn't stop someone from breaking into it. The family says the perpetrator then drove away with the car.
Wilson says her family found out what happened after they watched a home surveillance video recording.
"We were shocked," she said. "It seems like so much crime lately."
You can't stop every single crime from happening, but Warner Robins police say there are steps you can take to reduce the chances someone swipes your ride.
- Lock your car when you're not in it.
- Don't leave valuables out in plain sight.
- If you're doing holiday shopping, don't leave gifts unattended and visible to passersby.
Still though, sometimes thieves find a way--like they did with Simmons' locked car.
"It'll definitely be something I think about," he said. "It can happen to anyone."
Cole and his mom added that law enforcement told them they had recovered his car, but they couldn't return it just yet, because it could be used for evidence.
In the Leisure Lake Drive area, Warner Robins police say they arrested 5 teenagers for breaking into cars. They all face multiple criminal charges.

Swift and scalable operations for a regional non-banking affiliate
Non-bank affiliates offer products and services related to insurance and investment advice, but not core banking services. As with many industries, revenue growth is directly related to the scale and speed at which participants can conduct business.
Here is how Mindtree helped a non-bank affiliate of a California-based bank offering tax, audit and financial reporting services scale its services while optimizing the productivity of their people.
The challenge
Two of the customer's key services relate to valuations advisory; and industry benchmarking and other business valuation services. They wanted to significantly scale up their valuations business and optimize the effort of their talent to reduce the Turn Around Time (TAT) on client projects.
To achieve their goals, the customer wanted an outsourcing partner with deep expertise in business valuations who could help increase business volume without compromising accuracy or performance standards.
Our solution
Mindtree collaborated with the customer on a two-pronged approach.
Implementing a comprehensive process
Through more granular process insight and milestone-based TAT reduction, we succeeded in continuously raising the bar on volumes and quality delivered. For instance, we developed a five-step valuation process map. We also leveraged tools such as process maps, process checklists and trackers to attain standardization, effective process implementation and knowledge enhancement.
Fast tracking hiring and training
Given the customer's focus on speedy expansion, we carefully selected team members who held finance specializations. We also conducted extensive training in house and through customer experts. To validate learning, we created multiple levels of certifications and tested team members; and accordingly assigned them to projects of varying complexity.
Over time, our solution has proved to be highly durable―and continues to be used by the customer today.
Business impact
- Supported significant ramp up in volumes over 30 months
- Enabled greater productivity
- Reduced TAT per valuation from 75 to 45 hours
- Delivered draft results in five business days against industry average of two weeks
- Delivered effective risk mitigation
Customer testimonial
'I wanted to recognize the improvement in the quality of the engagements being completed by the teams. I just finished reviewing (a deliverable) and the team has done a great job. The same is true for almost all of the models that I have reviewed in the last couple of months. Please let the analysts know that I am very pleased with their work'.

Course syllabi have essential value for faculty members, graduate students, alumni, and researchers alike.
Faculty members use archived syllabi to develop new courses or as informational sources for courses they have never taught before. Graduate students with teaching assistantships use these syllabi to get a better understanding of courses they wish to teach. Alumni use syllabi to support resumes and job applications through the documentation of course content, which demonstrates understanding of relevant topics. Researchers use syllabi to document trends in education or the ways in which academic institutions have presented subjects, issues and debates to their students over time.
The UWM Uniform Syllabus Policy prescribes that academic departments maintain their syllabi in a departmental file for two years after their creation. RRDA UWSTU064 recommends that after this period, these syllabi then be transferred to the Archives for permanent preservation.
These guidelines are offered in order that academic departments may thereby free up valuable office space, both physical and virtual, while still being able to make reference and research use of their old course syllabi when necessary.
These guidelines apply to all course syllabi, regardless of format. Electronic versions of syllabi may be transferred to the Archives on CD-R, DVD-R, flash drives, or transferred via OneDrive.

While most employers in Nevada want to make sure their workplaces are safe for employees, dangers can still exist that could have a negative impact on a worker's health. For example, one occupational disease that some people have contracted through their work is pleural mesothelioma, which is a type of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos in the workplace.
Pleural mesothelioma affects a person's lungs. Between 1999 and 2015, it is estimated that around 280 individuals in Nevada lost their lives due to mesothelioma. Most mesothelioma cases in the state occurred in Clark County.
Some workers in Nevada contracted mesothelioma from working in the construction industry. They were exposed to asbestos fibers in insulation either by erecting, renovating or tearing down buildings. In fact, it is known that certain resorts in Las Vegas, such as Caesars Palace and the Hilton Hotel, among others, contain asbestos.
Those who work in the transportation industry may also be exposed to asbestos, especially if they worked at a railroad company. Certain train components contain asbestos which a worker would be exposed to, and possibly contract mesothelioma from.
Another workplace in which employees might contract mesothelioma due to asbestos exposure are power plants. Asbestos is used in power plants to stop fires from starting and to protect wires. For example, it is known that the Nevada Power Company, among others, has exposed workers to asbestos.
In the end, whether a person has contracted mesothelioma or any other occupational disease, they may find that their poor health prevents them from working, sometimes permanently. When this happens, they may want to work with an attorney to determine if they can seek workers' compensation benefits. These benefits can be the financial lifeline needed to make ends meet when a person cannot work.

Or maybe a shill, or maybe malicious. Should I be flattered?
A few weeks ago, in a state of elation because what I suspected was a major problem with my car turned out to be something minor, I went to Yelp to write a review of my mechanic. I actually created my Yelp account just to write this review. I was that excited. Here (or here) is what I wrote:
[Five stars] 5/15/2013
I love this mechanic. He does excellent work at very reasonable prices, and he never tries to sell you unnecessary parts or services. There is a reason why his shop is ALWAYS busy, even though (1) it's not in St. Pete's fanciest neighborhood, and (2) he doesn't advertise in any way beyond the little rack of business cards at the shop counter.
I'm ashamed to admit that I know little about cars in spite of the fact that my dad was a mechanic his entire working life. The other day, my car (which has 123,000 miles on it) was making a noise like a Mack truck. I honestly thought that every belt, piston, and bearing in the thing was coming loose, or that it had a poltergeist trapped inside. It also needed an oil change. I thought that I might be looking at a huge bill. I took the car to Tom K, who checked it out, found that it needed some power steering fluid (!), changed the oil, and courtesy-checked the other fluids etc. Total cost: $30 and change. The diagnostic alone at a chain place will run you $99 — and you'd better believe that they'll charge you that price even if it turns out that your car just needed its fluids topped off.
I've taken my car to Tom K for things that turned out to be actual serious problems as well, and have always found him to be honest, upfront, and fast. He does excellent work, and deserves all the business he can handle!
One more thing: I am a female. Ladies, he will treat you like the perfectly intelligent and competent human beings that you are. If a mechanic/service tech has ever spoken to you like you're a two-year-old barely capable of holding a sippy cup, you will appreciate Tom even more because he NEVER does that.
Fast forward to Saturday, when I was reading Yelp reviews of restaurants and trying to find a new place to eat. I decided to visit my review (I know, I know, narcissism), but when I went to the page for Tom K Auto Service, the review was gone. In its place squatted a tiny pale-grey line of text that said "Read 1 filtered review." I clicked the sad grey link and typed the captcha as I tried to recall any potentially family-unfriendly parts of the review. My review finally appeared beneath another grey line of shame, this one informing the reader that "The reviews below are not factored into the business's overall star rating." But why? Why shame my cute little review that way? It didn't chew the rug, or raid the trash can, or chomp the neighbor's bratty toddler.
It turns out that the site does not provide specifics about why any particular review gets filtered. That's unsurprising, given the large number of reviews posted to Yelp every day. But why do reviews get filtered at all? According to Yelp's Blog, the filter is in place "to protect consumers and business owners from fake, shill or malicious reviews."
I understand the need for review filters. Sometimes, business owners (or their employees or friends) write malicious reviews of their competitors. I've often suspected this when reading reviews of tattoo parlors. Other times, business owners (or their employees or friends) write positive reviews of their own businesses. I've often suspected this when reading reviews of salons. And, as the Yelp blog itself notes, freelancing websites positively brim with ads offering to pay — poorly, in my view — for people to write and post fake reviews. It's one of many shady practices in online writing and marketing, some of which, like article spinning, I had never even heard of until I visited some freelancing sites. As consumers, we would prefer that these fake or shill reviews not exist, because they undermine the quality & accuracy of the information that we seek. When the filter catches these fake reviews, we should be glad.
But sometimes, the filter makes mistakes — and, did you know? — humans working at Yelp are unable to reinstate reviews filtered by an algorithm. So, the one little review on Yelp of my great, local, not-owned-by-a-tire-company mechanic now huddles under its gray pall of shame until the algorithm decides to change its, uh, mind. My review wasn't fake. I wasn't paid to write it or post it, although perhaps I (and my mechanic!) should be flattered by the implication that I was.
I've been considering what tripped the filter, and have developed the following list, for your reading pleasure. Feel free to add others as you see fit. Have you ever written something that got "filtered" on a review site?
Possible Reasons Why Yelp's Filter Ostracized My Review
1. It is too positive. — Yes, the word "love" is hyperbolic, breathless — but I did mention the neighborhood. I guess I could have noted that his handwriting is terrible? Besides, have you ever read reviews of popular restaurants? They're all along the lines of "oooooo yum oh man yum went to heaven yum," except the one by the requisite angry guy or gal who writes "The food was fine, but I'm one of those people who hates everything. I hated the purple coffee cups. I hate you. I hate the word 'yum.' One star."
2. No spelling errors. — Because nothing says "authentic online review" like spelling errors.
3. Made a negative comparison to "chain store" mechanics. — Some chains really do charge $99 for a diagnostic. I have the records from a place I'll call "Brimstone" to prove it.
4. Claimed that a mechanic treats female customers fairly. — This is probably what really got the filter's attention. It's true, though. The best, smartest, most honest mechanics treat women like humans (& paying customers), for obvious business reasons.
5. Lacks detail in the "other serious problems" paragraph. — True, but I started to worry that the review would be "too long, didn't read," like this post.
On that note, this is the Shill, signing off.

The twisted, plastic world of Ukrainian human Barbie Valeria Lukyanova was revealed today.
She admits to having breast implants, but claims her bizarrely skinny waist is achieved by exercise and existing on a liquid diet - and not surgery.
Whether that's plausible or not, the result of her transformation is one of the weirdest sights you'll ever see.
Here's a few more of the world's most outrageous casualties of cosmetic surgery...and more.
Katella Dash, the living sex doll who spent £60,000 on surgery
Katella Dash, 38, was born male, but underwent gender reassignment surgery at age 23.
Since then she has spent £60,000 on seven breast augmentations, implants in her lips, cheeks and chin - and she still wants more.
"I think I do have an obsession with plastic surgery," she says. "But being over the top and extreme feels normal to me.
"The look I am going for is a walking blow up sex doll - it's about as fake a person as you can be."
Bar Refaeli and the £450 vampire facial
Supermodel Bar Refaeli instagrammed her face smeared in blood after a so called 'vampire' facial.
The treatment costs around £450 to be stabbed in the face 300 times over two hours.
The procedure is said to rejuvenate skin and "enhance tissue regeneration" by taking some of the patient's own blood, separating its components then re-injecting the health-giving, platelet-rich plasma.
Dennis, the man who wanted to look like a Tiger
US Navy veteran Dennis Avner had at least 14 operations trying to morph himself into a feline, complete with whiskers, ears and a mechanical tail.
They included ops to split his top lip and make his ears pointed, silicone cheek and forehead implants, tooth filing and tattoos.
The 54-year-old was found dead at his home in Tonopah, Nevada on November 5th, 2012. Avner, who worked as a computer programmer, took his own life.
Mum buys her daughter £8,000 of cosmetic surgery vouchers for her eighth birthday
For their eighth birthday most little girls can expect a new doll, or a bike, some clothes or maybe a games console.
Not Poppy Burge. When she woke up on her special day in 2012, her mother claims to have handed her £8,000 of vouchers to spend on plastic surgery.
And while Poppy was so young her two front teeth had yet to arrive, mum Sarah, 51, thought it was perfectly OK to introduce her daughter to the word of Botox, facelifts, nose-jobs and boob jobs.
Sarah has spent £250,000 on her own cosmetic procedures over the last 20 years, and insisted the best gift she could give her daughter is the chance to be just like her.
"I'm investing in my child's future," she says. "I'm giving Poppy the freedom to do what she wants. That's what Poppy wants for her birthday.
"I think she is beautiful and I don't think anything needs to change. But the reality of life is people don't think they look fine as they are."
The Dad who gave boob jobs to both his daughters
Plastic surgeon to the stars, Dr Michael Niccole turned his two daughters into walking billboards for his services by giving them both breast implants.
Daddy's girl Brittani first had breast surgery for her 18th birthday and three years later her proud father gave her a new nose for her 21st.
Shockingly, Charm first went under her dad's knife at the tender age of ten when she had a protruding belly button reshaped.
And last year, aged 25, she had her first boob job taking her from a B to a full C.
Dr Niccole said: "There are people that would critique me for doing a breast augmentation on my daughter at 18.
"But I've been doing surgery for 30 years and I wanted the best of care, which I feel I can deliver to my daughter.
"Nobody, nobody would treat my daughter the way I would."
Barbie-obsessed woman has hypnotherapy to become brainless
Let's face it. £25,000 worth of boob jobs can make you look like a plastic doll on the outside. But what about when you want to be like a plastic doll on the inside too?
Well, Blondie Bennett, 38, thinks she's found the answer. She's started seeing a therapist every week to make her more easily confused and vacant.
Blondie, who changed her name a year and a half ago, said: "I've had 20 sessions and I'm already starting to feel ditzy and confused all the time.
"Recently I went to pick a friend up at the airport and couldn't remember if I needed to go to departures or arrivals.
"I've also got lost for three hours driving to my mum's house - the house where I grew up.
She added: "I want people to see me as a plastic sex doll and being brainless is a big part of that."

Since April was Eco-month, on April 5th, we went to visit the Phytotron at Queen's Biosciences. The manager, Dale Kristensen, warmly welcomed us and gave us a knowledge-filled tour of the place. It is interesting to learn the many uses of plants in our daily life. The food we eat; the house we live in; the medicine we take; the clothes we wear are all sourced from the wonderful plants living on this planet. We were delighted to see vanilla, cocoa, and banana trees there. How can we survive without these yummy fruits? The world-class facilities is also interesting to see. It is fun to see how university students are using these plants to do research. We also learned that like animals in danger, there are also plants facing extinction. Therefore, it is important to protect these plants and take good care of them.
Our group of preschoolers have been engaging in construction and deconstruction. We have seen bridges, towers, snow-people, and snow hills materialize through teamwork each day.
The children have also been very interested in each other's families. They like to ask about middle and last names, and like to list the members of everyone's family.
Our friends love exploring art processes. it is so interesting to observe the different children and how they interpret the materials. Some children stay a long time and use many materials. Others are more minimalist in their approach. The array of finished products is as fascinating and unique as the artists themselves.
The curiosity of toddlers in making things move is endless. There are so many things that can be moved but we were mainly interested in the speed! We made different height ramps out of blocks to push toys down. We would watch to see which toys went the fastest and the farthest. For this experience we used cars, balls, a foam block and wooden pieces! The cars won most of the time. We noticed that the small cars went farther than the large cars and the ball went faster than the block. We also figured out that not all toys would roll down like the cars did. Some toys would slide down or not move at all. We wondered why? A child decided to help a wood piece that stopped sliding down the ramp by pushing it using her hands. She commented, "Go down!" By using many different resources we were able to explore movement and speed.
Magnets can make things move too! Using them has been an exciting interest as well. We have used magnets to move paperclips inside a water bottle and on a cookie sheet.
Did you know a magnets strength will increase in colder temperatures? It makes magnesium slightly stronger. I think we might have a new experiment with magnets around the corner.
Our infant program has been exploring paint, so we thought it would be a perfect opportunity to have a paint party. We set up the room with a variety of tools and materials for the children to explore and express their individual ideas in a creative manner. Being able to paint freely without worries of making a mess inspired the children to open their senses and enjoy. Silence fell over the room as the children where in awe of being able to experiment mixing colours, the feel of textures and how paint reacted after being mixed.
One child in particular had a look of pure enjoyment on her face. She was having a wonderful time as she spread the paint all over her body. We observed as she sat on the floor and began to paint her foot. While painting she was engaged and focused on experiencing the feel of paint on her toes and feet.
The children left their "prints" in our learning environment and on our hearts that day! ♥ We hope that they will continue to use their natural curiosity to explore the world around them.
It has been a very snowy winter this year. We have lots of snow here at Rideau Heights, but that doesn't stop us! The children have really enjoyed climbing all the snow "mountains" and making snow angels all around our yard. We use shovels to clear a path for our smaller friends. When we are unable to use our yard the children like to bring snow inside to build little snowmen and tiny igloos.
The Mitten Song by Marie Louise Allen
"Thumbs in the thumb-place,
Fingers all together!"
This is the song
We sing in mitten-weather.
When it is cold,
It doesn't matter whether
Mittens are wool,
Or made of finest leather.
This is the song
We sing in mitten-weather:
"Thumbs in the thumb-place,
Fingers all together!"
All our programs are designed to fit your child's needs for fun, education and safety. We have structured each environment to provide an atmosphere as much like home as possible.
If you have any questions regarding a specific idea or concern, please feel free to contact the individual program.

Beef Buzz News
Speculations Form as Market Awaits Release of On Feed Report, Expectations Hinge on MarketingsWed, 22 Aug 2018 11:14:23 CDT
The number of cattle in our feedlots continue to grow. Experts are expecting to see that trend continue in USDAs next Cattle on Feed report due for release this coming Friday afternoon, along with larger placement and marketing numbers compared to a year ago. Extension Livestock Market Economist Lee Schulz of Iowa State University says he believes the marketing number will be the most important data point to come out of this report.
If theres any real surprises in this report, I think its going to be that marketing number, because supplies are building right now, he said. So, if that does or doesnt stay relatively high - were likely to see this as a very bearish report. Im looking at that marketing number as an indication of how current we are in this market. Thats going to be a real barometer of whats going to affect this market for the next six weeks or so.
As Schulz implies, one of the keys to feedlots success in 2017 and what is being observed to some degree here in 2018, is their ability to stay current. This will be especially important for feeders here in the latter days of this year as they deal with larger market-ready or soon to be market-ready supplies. Schulz says whatever this next report reveals, probably wont change that fact. Other analysts, though, are focusing on other factors. Allendales Rich Nelson, for example, says placements in this report could potentially show as much as an 8.7 percent year-over-year increase. If realized, that would be the largest July placement number in six years and mark three months in a row that placements have ticked higher, despite concerns over profitability.
According to analysts surveyed by Bloomberg for their pre-report expectations, the average guess is that this report will show cattle on feed for August 1 is 4.4 percent bigger than one year ago at just over 11 million head. Analysts guess placements in July will increase by 5.9 percent and marketings are estimated to rise by 5 percent year-over-year. USDA will release the report this Friday, August 24th at 2:00 p.m. Central Standard Time.
Listen to Schulz share his predictions for the upcoming USDA Cattle on Feed Report for Aug. 1, with Radio Oklahoma Ag Network Farm Director Ron Hays, on todays Beef Buzz.

Fruitful: The Upside of Being Crazy/
I'm preparing myself for the worst. It's something I'm very good at.
In this particular case, it's going to work out well for me -- and, honestly, assuming the worst has generally been a self fulfilling prophecy in my life. But there are rare occasions when I expect something to be as horrible as anything can possibly be, and then I'm pleasantly surprised when it's only just regular old horrible.
And that is how I've been thinking about my impending fatherhood.
I have visions of getting 5, non-consecutive hours of sleep a week. I picture my wife, ragged bathrobe, curlers in her hair, and somehow now a smoker. I picture piles of feces stained laundry that never gets any smaller. I imagine that we board up our windows and doors and that I have to wear sunglasses to work as my eyes can no longer tolerate sunlight. I imagine myself, defeated, kneeling, praying to our child to release me from this horrid existence. I picture blood, sweat, and tears, but mostly tears. And stains, lots and lots of stains of every variety. I'm pretty sure I will never go to work clean ever again.
My mom told me that I was great at projectile vomiting when I was a baby. I expect the same of my son. I expect every wall in our house to be painted over with whatever baby food we eventually feed him. We'll start buying furniture and pictures to match the stains. We'll only feed him certain foods because we know his vomit will match the decor.
I will lose what little weight I still have, yet surprisingly my gut will continue to get larger. The bags under my eyes will have bags under them. They grey in my beard will spread to my head and I'll notice a bald spot that I'll swear wasn't there a few weeks ago.
Nicole and I will lose the ability to communicate with other human beings. We will only respond with a series
|By Steve Schapiro
I figure at some point we'll both start hallucinating. I also figure that we'll hallucinate about what our lives used to be like.
But here's the thing: It won't be like that. I've been told by actual people with actual children that it won't be like that. They've told me that we will adapt, that we will be fine.
I'm not listening, though. Because I need to prepare for the worst. That's how I operate. I need to prepare for the worst in case they're all wrong. And I need to prepared for the worst in hopes that they're right, and I'll be relieved.
I'm not convinced.
Week 37!!

text: Over the past three years John Hart's work has been increasingly informed by his interest in science - in trying to render beautiful or to make engaging scientific concepts which are fascinating, but often counter intuitive or obtuse. At Home with Ohm focusses on Hart's recent fascination with electronics - specifically the electronics of household sound systems: "Each time we turn on a radio, or Hi Fi system, or guitar amplifier we are unwittingly engaging with literally thousands of small electronic components which work behind the scenes, unnoticed and unrecognised, but which allow us to live in the digital age." At Home with Ohm attempts to make visible these hardworking but oft neglected electronic workhorses, and to demonstrate their usefulness in a meaningful way.Image: John Hart 220 uF Electrolytic Capacitor 2018

Upcoming shows you should check out
Every hip-hop clique has them: that member that only gets the E for effort at best. They try hard, but bless their hearts, just don't come with the dope bars. Wu Tang has U-God, Dipset has Jim Jones and Cash Money has Turk. Now Young and Thuggin' was a solid, if not spectacular debut nor entirely solo, because under the Cash Money banner, no one is truly on their own. That Turk struggled under the microscope own his own is more a case of all Lil Wayne associates under extra pressure to perform. If all he needed was time to write, then the 9-year prison turn he just finished in October for his role in the murder of a Memphis police office during a drug raid (he said he was hiding in the closet with a gun) gave him all he needed. When he comes to Ziggy's this Thursday, he'll be an unknown commodity with nine years worth of rhymes ready to be heard. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door, and the show starts at 10 p.m.
Pop quiz: Before sax doyen Jeff Coffin joined jazz-folk powerhouse Bela Fleck & the Flecktones, and again after he departed them for the largesse of the Dave Matthews Band, who played Fleck's melodic foil? The answer: multi-instrumentalist and twotime Grammy winner Howard Levy, a man who, in the early days of the Flecktones, not only more than held his own instrumentally opposite one of the greatest banjo players alive, but hair-wise as well. Check out old videos of the original lineup and you'll see Fleck possessed a mullet so breathtaking in its grandeur that European hockey players crossed the picket line in '92 just to get a closer look. But where Fleck's was a prodigious marvel, Levy's was crested and tasteful, almost playful, reflective in concept of his work on the Flecktone's Grammy-winning track "The Sinister Minister." Today, Levy has adopted a more practical 'do, but once again with the Flecktones, he's anything but as a member of one of the most revered groups in the jazz-jam scene. This Saturday, Levy will pay a visit to the Triad Acoustic Stage at Mack and Mack Clothing, where he'll be joined by another maestro in Joe Craven. Tickets are still available for $26, but they will sell out.
The next Krankies Record Label Showcase features not a label, but a festival. Having just finished its fifth event, Charlotte's Recess Fest is in a way a progenitor of Winston-Salem's own Phuzz Phest; a low-key, indie-centric weekend of unearthed gems still small enough to drink a beer with and talented enough to go places. That the upcoming Phuzz Phest will feature a rather captivating band (extreme noise outfit Joint D ) also participating in this Friday's Record Label Showcase shows just how closely linked in spirit the two fests are. The free showcase will include ultra-fuzzed Charlotte punks Serfs and outright weirdo Human Pippi Armstrong, but save your tips for Charlotte folk hero Andy the Doorbum, known as much his disheveled, slightly (maybe legitimately) crazy appearance as he is for his ability to shift from good-natured, front-porch strumming into a meaner version of Jackson C. Frank on a whim. His songs are paeans to vice ("Love Song for Cigarettes") and his writing is as darkly convoluted as Fiona Apple could ever hope to be (see: his 2011 album The Man Killed the Bird, and with the Bird He Killed the Song, and with the Song, Himself). The music starts at 9 p.m.

This exhibition brings together artworks from three private, independent collections in order to publicly share these works and open up a dialogue about collecting art.
The works come from the collections of Haro Cümbüşyan, Saruhan Doğan and Agah Uğur that they have built with their partners over the past decade. Comprised local and international artworks, the exhibition showcases a selection of some of the most powerful and confronting choices made by the collectors: included are works that are socially critical, political and sometimes disturbing. The collections also feature works that are hard to display, such as video, audio, book installations and film and slide projections.
The exhibition takes place in two stages. It opens in the Forum area on April 21 and continues until May 17. This is followed by a multifaceted exhibition opening on the second and third floors on June 9 and continuing until August 2.

Sydney's Super Sweet Boudoir Session | Falmouth, MA/
Happy April! We are just one month away from our first wedding and I am SO excited to get this wedding season STARTED!! In the off season I've been enjoying far too many hot chocolates, preparing for the year ahead and doing BOUDOIR SESSIONS!!
So many of my MJP brides have asked if I do boudoir sessions so they can be comfortable with the same person throughout their entire engagement/wedding process, and the answer is I DO! I tend not to share them as often because many want it to be for their groom's eyes only (as they should!), so I asked my gorgeous friend Sydney to model for me to give brides a taste of what to expect. Classy, sweet and sexy. Enjoy!

Diabetes and Alternative Diets: Do They Work?
Many African Americans use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) to manage their disease but fail to disclose this information to their healthcare provider. In fact, studies show that only 40 percent of African-Americans compared with 55 percent of non-Hispanic whites report telling their doctors that they were using a complementary therapy. Most people with diabetes who use CAM follow diet-based therapies to manage the disease. Not sharing your use of CAM with your healthcare provider can be dangerous. Some diet-based therapies may cause nutrient deficiencies and are not based on sound scientific evidence.
Here's the low down on six of the most common diet-based therapies people use to treat diabetes.
Alkaline Diet
This diet is based on the fact our body has a pH of 7.35 to 7.45, which makes it slightly alkaline. Proponents of the alkaline diet believe humans evolved on a diet much more alkali-forming than diets eaten today. An excess of grains and animal products is believed to cause an acid overload, leading to muscle wasting, kidney stone formation, kidney damage, and the dissolution of bone.
The fact is the body works hard and efficiently on its own to keep the blood at the proper pH regardless of what we eat. You don't need to alter your diet to try to change the pH level. Although the alkaline diet won't change your pH level, it can be a healthful diet for people with diabetes. It is primarily a vegetarian diet with emphasis on fresh fruits, vegetables, soy, nuts, legumes, and olive oil.
Food-Combining Diet
The theory behind the food-combining diet says that if

I am sorry this took so long. I ended up busy with my day job and only got a chance to get back to assembling this stuff this morning.
The tweets for the peak time for #YesAllWomen tweets was May 25-28, 2014. During that time I captured 564,153 tweets in total. Of those, 129,580 were unique tweets and the remaining 434,573 were retweets of items included in the 129.580 set of unique items. When looking at the links and downloads here, the dataset will include the full archive until "No Retweets" is specified.
If you would like to play with the data yourself, you can download these spreadsheets or reports:
- Full Archive of #YesAllWomen Tweets
- Full Archive of #YesAllWomen Tweets with No Retweets
- Full PDF Timeline Report of #YesAllWomen Tweets with No Retweets
- Sectioned PDF Timeline Report of #YesAllWomen Tweets with No Retweets
Note: The Full PDF Timeline Report of #YesAllWomen Tweets with No Retweets is an 11,780 page document. Some computers cannot open a file of that size, so I made the Sectioned version available. It is the exact same information but broken down into 24 PDFs of 500 pages each.
I have also placed all the data online as a Google Fusion Table. It is set for public viewing and anyone who wants to can clone it and do with it as they wish.

Solutions for Operators
There's an old adage in the restaurant industry about where your customers come from. It's the Ten Block Rule.
The Ten Block Rule states that 80% of your customer base comes from a ten square block area around your business. Does this hold true for your shop? Have you taken the time to research this? Let's look at how a Facebook Page for your business can take advantage of this rule.
Facebook pages are pretty easy to setup. If you don't have the time, there's probably someone on your staff who is familiar with it. Once you've created the fanpage and produced some good content, you can begin targeting both existing customers and new customers within your ten square blocks.
Facebook advertising is the perfect solution for this. With Facebook advertising, you can set the dollar amount you wish to spend on a daily basis, even down to $5 per day. You can set your physical address and specify a mileage radius around your business. There are other demographics too – such as age, gender and keywords – that you can specify. A typical cafe might specify this for Facebook advertising:
- Two mile radius from my business
- Gender: female
- Age: 25-45
- Daily Spend: $5
- Run Time: One Month
