2 Benefits Individuals Do Not Really Recognize Regarding LASIK Eye Surgical OperationsThe eye can be taken a look at with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A functional evaluation includes the capability to move in the orbit and the reaction of the pupil to light and lodging.
The function of the eye might be tested in a number of methods. The patient might be asked to determine illuminated letter or items of varying sizes on exactly what is referred to as the Snellen chart.
Alternatively, the examination of the structural part of the eye may be made in numerous ways. Tension within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In certain illness, specifically in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased markedly.
Nevertheless, it needs to be well remembered that a client with an eye problem may have other problems as well. Often other physical conditions are primary and impact the eye as a consequence. The appearance of the eye can notify the physician and the patient to difficulties in some disruptions of other parts of the body even before other symptoms provide themselves.
One's reliance on sight is highlighted when one deals with a short-lived or possible irreversible loss of this crucial sense. When restorative procedures are sought, certain kinds of vision correction such as contact lenses or spectacles are recommended.
On the other hand, some people are bothered with the reality that they have actually some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this factor, advanced surgical operations were established to encourage decreased usage of contact lenses or glasses. Among which is the now popular LASIK eye surgical treatment.
Essentially, LASIK eye surgery is the short term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its concrete counterpart, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another form of vision correction. The only difference is that with this type of surgical treatment, one's vision is corrected permanently.
With LASIK eye surgical treatment, the refractive errors in the cornea are completely changed. This can be done utilizing an "excimer laser."
The primary function of this surgical treatment is to create a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea using a blade understood as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is lastly reformed, allowing much better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Appeal vs. Disadvantages
In the middle of the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgical treatment, there are still disadvantages that individuals need to know. Most likely, the primary factor why this type of eye surgery has actually become well accepted is due to the fact that many of its cases had actually been effective.
However, in spite of its success, there are still some disadvantages. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation applied click for more info to the most delicate part of the eye
Since LASIK eye surgery includes the operation of the retina, which is one of the most sensitive parts of the eye, the majority of people say that the operation can be really risky.
In other words, a simple error might almost trigger an individual's lifetime loss of sight. For this reason, it is essential to think about numerous factors prior to deciding whether LASIK eye surgical treatment is the ideal restorative measure one has to go through.
2. It is not a best treatment
LASIK eye surgery might remedy your vision however it does not always mean that it can offer you a perfect vision. Even if statistical reports reveal that 70% of the clients might have 20/20 vision, this does not always indicate they have perfect vision as well.
Offered all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK may not constantly be the perfect eye surgical treatment the way many people view it
Alternatively, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye may be made in a number of ways. It ought to be well kept in mind that a client with an eye problem may have other issues. Often other physical conditions are main and affect the eye as a repercussion. The appearance of the eye can inform the client and the physician to troubles in some disruptions of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms provide themselves.
Like its concrete equivalent, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another kind of vision correction.

Hello kittens! ♡ I hope we all came to terms with the fact that this bag will always arrive borderline to the next months it's supposed to arrive. Which sucks because I can never enter their Instagram Giveaways since they end before I can even open the bag. Still, I'm pretty happy with this month's products. It's not super amazing but It's not terribly bad either.

Total Glam Bag Value: $59.10 ★
✿ ✿ ✿
Beau Gâchis Paris Concealer Brush - You can never have too many brushes! Specially concealer brushes, since they're the first ones to get dirty. I was pretty exited to get this brush, not to mention it's a 'full sized' item. Though, I couldn't imagine them giving out sampled brushes... you never know.
Pacifica Power of Love Natural Lipstick in Tender Heart - Guys, I fear my inability to make proper reviews of regular lipsticks! I'm so sorry but seriously though, after wearing liquid lipsticks for the longest everything else is just a downgrade right? This isn't food proof, kiss proof, or even coffee proof. So what's the point of wearing something you have to constantly reapply? It's not lasting at all. I guess I could wear it for really lazy, I don't want to look too-dead-on-the-gym kind of days? However, I do like the color! It's nice and pigmented. Also, Pacifica makes their lipsticks packed with benefits. They are Made with coconut oil, shea butter, and vitamin E. 100% Vegan & Cruelty-Free. Which is really nice! I do recommend it, don't get me wrong. I just personally much rather have lasting lipsticks.
Formula X Nail Color in Revved Up - This bottle is ridiculously tiny. I was secretly fearing It wouldn't be enough for me to do my nails and toes but I was able to! The color's a Rose Gold but it's really pretty in person. Oh, and the consistency isn't quite glittery. It's much more dense. I really do like getting nail polishes on my Glam Bag.
Jersey Shore Cosmetics® Vanilla Bean Anti-aging Lip & Hand Polish - Wow! At first I was judging this product so bad until I tried it. I swear. In my head I had a little voice telling me, "Who the *beep* needs hand exfoliators?" This is coming from a person who gets bummed out when she gets body or hand lotions in general... but seriously, This is so god. Specially for the lips! Actually, that's what I'm using it for. It did leave my hands silky smooth. I just honestly feel it did a way better job on my lips. It's made out of Vanilla Bean & Strawberry. It tastes, smells and feels awesome. There are no parabens, toxic petrochemicals or artificial ingredients. It also claims to be Vegan.
Marc Anthony True Professional Hydrating Coconut Oil & Shea Butter Conditioner - I have so many mixed feelings about this product. Though not necessarily bad feelings. I just wasn't expecting receiving this on my Ipsy bag since I've already tried the $0.99 packets on Walgreens before. Which is weird. I do like it but then again I love coconut oil everything. Haha. Anyways, If youu're curious to try this product I think it's the most accessible one since there's practically a Walgreens in every corner!
✿ ✿ ✿
So there you have it lovelies ~ I actually really liked this month's bag and the products in it. I think My favoriteproduct was hands down the Vanilla Bean exfoliator (For obvious reasons!) and least favorite, The Coconut oil conditioner. Since to be honest, I already own so many hair products.
If you want to try out this monthly Glam Bag you can subscribe Here! ♡
Also, when a friend subscribes to the Glam Bag with your referral link you earn 250points that you can Exchange for really nice rewards on the page. Which is also a really nice thing to look forward too.

Although the season for toiling away in one's backyard has come and gone, the Garden Fashion photo series does have a decidedly fall feel to it that may make you question whether or not you should be focusing on your wardrobe for the new season or planting some more seeds for the next. Crisp and fresh, this autumn beauty makes it so that you can almost smell the damp earth and clammy stones.
Shot by Melissa Moffat, a photographer based in Toronto, Canada, the Garden Fashion photo series stars model Bronwin. Stylist Jessica Parti chose to go in a gritty glam direction that fed off of Bronwin's natural surroundings while not compromising her stunning beauty and sophisticated air. With draping pearls and cargo shorts, the looks are casual and chic.

I made Clemson a 3-point favorite over Alabama in the College Football Playoff semifinal in the Sugar Bowl on New Year's Day. The Tigers are 3-point underdogs to the Crimson Tide in a rematch of the past two national championship games.
The loss of five-star true freshman linebacker Dylan Moses is costly for Alabama. Moses, who suffered a foot injury in practice during bowl preparations, made 21 tackles in Alabama's last two regular-season games after senior defensive leader Shaun Dion Hamilton went down with a season-ending injury.
I like the matchup of Clemson's elite defense against an Alabama offense that struggled mightily in a 26-14 loss at Auburn in the regular-season finale. The Tigers just look like the better team and they've covered the number in seven straight postseason games with six outright victories.
Four more plays (home team in CAPS):
Washington (+2½) over Penn State, Fiesta Bowl, Saturday: It certainly isn't the complete basis of this play, but we'll note the loss of the Nittany Lions offensive coordinator. That didn't work out too well for Missouri with its offensive coordinator Josh Huepel gone to take the coaching job at Central Florida. Washington's defense played lights out while whipping Washington State 41-14 its last time out in the Apple Cup. The Huskies have the nation's No. 5 scoring defense (14.5 ppg) and No. 2 rushing defense.
Louisville (-6½) over Mississippi State, TaxSlayer Bowl, Saturday: The Cardinals have won and covered their last three games and four of five. Louisville has played its best football of the season in its last three blowout wins over Virginia (38-21), Syracuse (56-10) and Kentucky (44-17). The Bulldogs are playing without their coach, defensive coordinator and star quarterback in Nick Fitzgerald. Former Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson will lead the Cardinals to the win and cover.
Memphis-Iowa State (Over 66), Liberty Bowl, Saturday: The over is 9-3 overall for the Tigers, who have seen their games average scores of 81.1 points. The over has hit in five of Memphis' past six games. Tigers quarterback Riley Ferguson has thrown for 36 TDs with nine interceptions. Memphis also has the best kick returner in the country in Tony Pollard, who has four special-teams TDs.
Central Florida-Auburn (Under 67½), Peach Bowl, Monday: Auburn has had only two totals in the 60s and went under 68 in a 42-14 win over Louisiana-Monroe. Only two of the Tigers' 13 games have eclipsed 68 points. The Tigers have seen their games average 51.7 total points and the under has cashed in each of Auburn's last three games. Also, UCF's three-year starting tackle Aaron Evans is out with an injury.
Last week: 1-3 against the spread
Season: 42-37-2

This is the theory - a packed movie theater parking lot, at an early weekday show, means the public has voted the film a hit without seeking the advice of critics.
I attended a noon showing of "The Watch" and I was the only person in the theater - 239 empty seats shared the film with me. I kept my cell phone on, who could it annoy? There is a laugh here and there in this film, but it seems to be a jumble of story lines thrown together with good actors to produce a show you will soon see on television for a lot less money.
I find it almost impossible to believe that anyone will be talking about this film to their friends;it is basically a high school skit on film.
I did not hate it, I just did not care about any element of the story.

* cannes limo service or limousine Cannes chauffeur : a premium service of Biomotion. We provide the best transport solutions for your holiday in French Riviera.
"Pantiero is a special event that always has a rich and attractive programme!
And in 2015, in its 14th year, the festival has pulled out all the stops.
Having recently won several Victoires de la Musique, Christine And The Queens has become a French pop icon in just 3 years. She has a surprising ability to unite people around her original, vibrant music, and she is unique on the contemporary music scene.
Another sensation, The Dø is a group that immediately intrigued the public. Impeccable writing, a challenging second album, and then a shift to more head-on electro pop, The Dø is one of the few French groups that have achieved international success - along with Yelle, whose popularity across the Atlantic continues to grow.
As for Fakear - the new force on the French electro scene - over the last few months he has smashed all records. Representative of a new generation of normcore and DIY artists and a fan of old school sounds, jazz, world music and hybrid labels such as Ninja Tune, his work has his own unique stamp, giving trip hop the lustre and energy it deserves.
He will be supported by two rising stars from this new generation of producers, Dream Koala and Superpoze - Superpoze has produced a superb album this year.
A magnificent new Pantiero festival in prospect, again with a delicate balance between headline artists and newcomers such as Paradise and Holy Two – two acts that are not to be missed this summer."
Jean-Marie Sevain, artistic director
Getting to Cannes during the festival with a limousine Cannes chauffeur
16 AOUT : DREAM KOALA Live – SUPERPOZE Live – FAKEAR Live
Already 14 years of Pantiero !
A challenge admirably met since 2002 : Cannes thrills his visitors with rhythms of black music, rock, pop and electro music sounds…
For its first edition in 2002, the Pantiero esplanade, on the "vieux Port" in Cannes, welcomed during 5 nights, 12 of the most eclectic groups. Only 2 years after, the Festival moves and settles on the patio of the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès and takes off. The 2004 edition marks the beginning of a strong concept: 16 concerts during 4 nights for 20 hours of music in a perfect place, accessible in its totality with the 4 nights pass. But Pantiero doesn't stop there. 4 local Djs have been added to the 16 groups and bring life to the stage changes. In 2008, this concept is reinforced by the organization of aftershows in a private nightclub: the "Jimmy's", then replaced by the "Dadada Club" in 2011. This has enabled the festival-goers to extend their electric evenings to the end of the night. And this is how it all works at the Pantiero Festival, since 2002, between discoveries and established artists with various influences, in front of an ever-growing public which is eager of new music.

Do you really get what you pay for with firearms? In many respects, yes, that old saying holds true. My Dan Wesson PM-9 is a prime example. It's a well fitted, tack driving machine that can put shots anywhere a skilled shooter wants. However, in some cases, I think you might get more than what you paid for as evidenced by the Springfield Armory XD Mod.2 Tactical.
My Mod.2 doesn't have the same precision feel as the PM-9, nor does it have the same great single action trigger. What it does have, after installing a Powder River Precision sear, is a smooth constant pull that helps me shoot well. To cut right to the chase, the target below was shot at 7 yards, 10 shots through the Dan Wesson (on the left) and 10 shots through the XD (on the right).
Now, before we jump to conclusions, the two shots not with the larger group on the Wesson were pulled by yours truly and I fully own that. However, look at each pistol's group. Both, minus the two flyers that were shooter error, are pretty even. However, 7 yards is not exactly a distance that separates good handguns from great ones and my intent was not to produce "evidence" that the Springfield is the equal to the PM-9 as a precision shooter. What this does tell me is the Springfield, in my hands, deserves some more range time to see how it can really shine at all distances.
Below is a 10 shot target from the Springfield at 50 ft, offhand.
Again, not definitive proof that one pistols is as good as the other, but rather proof that the Springfield is capable of some good results and I'll be taking it to the range a little more than in the past.
My XD-40 has always been a heck of a shooter, and this XD Mod.2 Tactical seems to be living up to its big brother's legacy.

Does ETH arrive at 1120 tomorrow at 15:00
BITFINEX:ETHUSD Ethereum / Dollar
303 views
looking at the 45 m chart of ETH (if it continues at the same trend line of today), it seems that it probably arrive to 1120 (probably tomorrow at 15:00)
Kommentar: My friends, it seems that the trend has been broken many times however, many struggles had been done. It seems that it will get down to 800 or 750 again. From my side, I bought all my ETH.
Kommentar: * I sold all my ETH. Sorry!
Maybe you are right. But if you look at the trend line, you will find that ETH has already accomplished half the distance to the proposed end.
I hope it does. But that's a HUGE "if"

Event – Launch night at The Cyclist Refreshment Room
Brighton Station is now a destination for two reasons! On Monday night The Cyclist Refreshment Room, newly opened and looking spick and span, had its grand opening on the station concourse. The mayor was there and even the odd character from The Bill. All stops had been pulled out – a caricaturist turned up, as did two Victorian gentlemen on Penny Farthings, juggling hats and spinning rolls of sellotape on their umbrellas (honest).
Drinks flowed, expertly mixed by the resident bar-person Lucy, who even invented a cocktail for the occasion – The Stabilizer – which did just the opposite with its lashings of gin, orange, rosemary and chilli. The house white, a Verdejo from Spain, slipped down well on a warm evening.
Inside it was all very welcoming, with old suitcases propping up the bar and fun still-life paintings of food around the room. For vintage cycling buffs, there are plenty of knick-knacks to peruse around the place. Plenty of space too, which is good as despite being in a station, I can imagine this being popular with families as well as post-work drinkers.
Someone here can cook for sure and I hoovered up as many canapés as possible, without actually pushing people out of the way. Mini burgers and cauliflower arancini got the double thumbs-up from my eight-year-old daughter. Delicate smoked haddock tempura were my personal favourite, but asparagus in puff pastry with herb aioli and smoked salmon blinis all hit the spot too. Braised sticky pork wontons were declared the winner by others.
We even got dessert, with brownies and chocolate sauce and strawberry and Prosecco jelly showing that puddings are no afterthought here.
The regular menu looks great with food on offer throughout the day. The Cyclist full breakfast (£8) and bacon bap with spiced tomato ketchup (£4) will be popular with commuters (they even do some breakfast items to go), while dinner options include braised sticky pork shoulder with wasabi peas (£6) and griddled asparagus with herb salsa and truffle yolk (£6.50), plus fine-looking burgers, fish and chips and steak.
As someone new to Brighton, I am very glad to see this recent addition to what's always been a light, airy, friendly station that just needed somewhere decent to eat and drink. Cocktails on Wednesdays from now on are in order – after The Stabilizer I'm itching to see what comes out next …

The Handbook of Technology and Second Language Teaching and Learning
The Handbook of Technology and Second Language Teaching and Learning
ISBN: 978-1-118-91404-5 June 2017 Wiley-Blackwell 544 Pages
The Handbook of Technology and Second Language Teaching and Learning presents a comprehensive exploration of the impact of technology on the field of second language learning.
The rapidly evolving language-technology interface has propelled dramatic changes in, and increased opportunities for, second language teaching and learning. Its influence has been felt no less keenly in the approaches and methods of assessing learners' language and researching language teaching and learning.
Contributions from a team of international scholars make up the Handbook consisting of four parts: language teaching and learning through technology; the technology-pedagogy interface; technology for L2 assessment; and research and development of technology for language learning. It considers how technology assists in all areas of language development, the emergence of pedagogy at the intersection of language and technology, technology in language assessment, and major research issues in research and development of technologies for language learning. It covers all aspects of language including grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, listening, speaking, pragmatics, and intercultural learning, as well as new pedagogical and assessment approaches, and new ways of conceiving and conducting research and development.
The Handbook of Technology and Second Language Teaching and Learning demonstrates the extensive, multifaceted implications of technology for language teachers, learners, materials-developers, and researchers.

Instead, Mr. Mubarak is making a ruthless bid to retain power. On Wednesday, mere hours after he went on national television in a futile attempt to silence demands for his ouster, men armed with clubs, rocks, knives and firebombs began a bloody assault on protesters. They were obviously encouraged, likely even orchestrated, by the Mubarak regime.
On Thursday, the brutal crackdown went even further. As fighting between protesters and the armed gangs escalated, Mr. Mubarak's supporters attacked and detained foreign journalists, punching them and smashing their equipment. News outlets were shut down. Two
These are the familiar tactics of dictators who want to brutalize their citizens without witnesses. We fear Mr. Mubarak is planning to unleash even more violence — antigovernment protesters have called another demonstration for Friday. There is speculation that the fighting is being provoked so Egyptians will rally around the government and support a crackdown to restore order.
Mr. Mubarak's attempt to blame the opposition and foreigners for the mayhem — he told ABC News that the government is not responsible — is patently absurd. He has ruled the country with an iron hand for nearly 30 years. Mr. Mubarak has lost the legitimacy to continue governing Egypt, but he has chosen survival over his people. He told ABC that he had to stay in office to avoid chaos. In fact, his continued presence ensures only more chaos and instability.Continue reading the main story
As the street battles raged, the government made conciliatory sounds. It promised that Mr. Mubarak's son would not run for president and called for dialogue with the
An important question is what role the army — which gets nearly $1.5 billion in annual American aid — is prepared to play. Will it reinforce Mr. Mubarak's repression of a transition to a new order in which the aspirations of the protesters — fed up with poverty, lack of jobs and education, the excesses of the elite, official corruption and government repression — will be addressed?
Secretary of State
So far, it's unclear where the army stands. As the anti-Mubarak movement grew, some soldiers displayed sympathy for the protesters and manned checkpoints at Liberation Square, or Tahrir Square, to screen for weapons. On Monday, the army announced it would not use force against those demanding Mr. Mubarak's ouster.
But when the melee erupted on Wednesday, the military largely confined itself to guarding the Egyptian Museum and extinguishing firebombs. On Thursday, after shots were fired — the source was unclear — the army moved to separate the combatants, but the violence continued. These mixed messages threaten to damage the army's credibility and its status as the country's most respected institution.
The cost of the turmoil is being felt. Tourists are fleeing. The economy is paralyzed. Egypt and its people need a quick transition to an era of greater political and economic freedoms. The violence is making that transition harder.Continue reading the main story

Is The S&P 500 The Best Investment For The Future?• Liberty Conservative
Before this article receives hate comments from both bullish and bearish investors, the purpose of this article is to discuss the average historical and projected lifespan of companies included in the S&P 500 index, as well as discussing whether the S&P 500 should be considered as an active manager going forward, rather than a passive manager. (If you are looking for a valuation based discussion about markets, please scroll to the bottom of the article for a list of articles on the topic.)
The theory of disruption in business is that competition doesn't only come from businesses who are in the same industry, but can also arise from completely different industries. One example of this is movie streaming disrupting movie renting stores and movie theaters. The reason disruption is so heavily studied and has become a buzzword in investing is that it can come from seemingly nowhere and take market share from established brands. Companies which spent years developing their brands can see their business disappear almost overnight. It's like a black swan event except with industries not the economy. If you're an investor, it might not be enough to just look at the competition. You need to look at how technology can destroy a business.
Companies Are Dropping Out Of The S&P 500 Index Quicker
The chart below provides great clarity into the importance of disruption.
The lifespan of companies has been falling for a few decades. There are cyclical changes as more companies fail during recessions and less fail when times are good. However, let's ignore those small changes and look at how the average company now only stays in the index for about 20 years instead of 30 years. The internet makes disruption easier than ever before because scaling business growth is easier and faster. Companies are gaining billion dollar market caps in less time than ever. For example, a small team consisting of only a few programmers can develop a game for mobile devices which successfully competes with mega corporations' games which have taken millions of dollars and years to develop. It's possible that marketing is less impactful than in prior generations because product reviews have become a more meaningful part of any purchase decision. This efficiency makes it more difficult to protect a market share moat. The internet is making competition fiercer, especially in retail.
It Could Be Tougher To Invest If Firms Lose Staying Power Easily
If the average S&P 500 company follows the projected path, then a company on average will only last about 10 years in the index. This makes it more difficult to invest because cash cow companies won't be able to milk profits for as long. Either a company innovates or it's out. It's important to recognize that just because the S&P 500 index has gone up over time, doesn't mean stocks individually go up. The index has a huge survivorship bias, meaning it doesn't include the losing companies. If the S&P 500 stuck with the same 500 companies, it would have terrible performance. The big tech names of today wouldn't be included if the S&P 500 never added and subtracted names. Looking at what this trend portends, it seems like owning the S&P 500 index fund will be a better strategy in the future. If companies last a shorter time frame, the index fund will have much higher turnover. It will become almost like an active fund. It could end up being a good strategy to own the index since picking stocks will be tougher.

Challenge your Mindset
How are you feeling?
Communication isn't just what you say; it's what the other person understands from what you have said. Sometimes problems can arise in the communication between both parties in a relationship.
Sometimes when speaking to your partner you might feel as though you are talking to a brick wall, problems in relationships arise when you feel you are not being heard or understood. They might appear to tune out when you're trying to have a conversation and you realise they haven't been listening. This can be so infuriating but they may be thinking about something else that is going on and playing on their mind. Find out if this is the case and see if you can offer any help, rather than immediately becoming impatient with them. [How self awareness can improve your relationships]
Regularly not getting a response from your other half when you're trying to contact them can be a real point of contention as you may feel they are being dismissive or ignoring you. If you are busy, a quick text can be enough to show your partner that you aren't trying to snub them or be discourteous.
Someone appearing to take their partner, and what they do for them, for granted through never really saying 'thank you' can make the partner feel undervalued and underappreciated which can breed resentment and ongoing problems in relationships. We always need to make sure we let people know that we are grateful and appreciate them.
If a couple is going through a long distance relationship, effort needs to be made by both people to communicate in whatever way they can. Technology helps us to stay in touch very conveniently through phone calls, texts, which can easily show that you're thinking of them, while Skype and Facetime allows people to converse 'face to face'.
Each person needs to know that their commitment to, and investment in, the relationship is worth it and not feel as though they're drifting apart. A couple may be geographically separated but they shouldn't allow themselves to become emotionally distant.
A couple might feel shy or a bit bashful, but talking about their sex life shouldn't be a taboo subject. If it's a part of your relationship, you need to talk about it, whether it's your likes and dislikes or addressing a problem you might be experiencing in the bedroom. Sex is a form of communication in itself and so problems in relationships can frequently arise due to this area. [That loving feeling has gone - now what?]
Physical or non-verbal communication like holding hands or being given a hug is really important in a relationship as it stimulates the feel-good hormone oxytocin. This promotes bonding in a couple and makes them feel happy and secure. Eye contact is also an important aspect of physical communication between people as it shows they are on focusing on each other. Body language, such as the expression on our face, our tone of voice or our stance, is another form of physical communication which conveys how we're feeling.
A couple might want very different things from life and the relationship that they are in without realising that this is the case. If they don't communicate about what they do want, major issues could arise, such as one partner wanting children and assuming that their significant other does too, when they don't. If there are any concerns it's best to sit down and have a serious talk about your hopes and expectations for the future.
If we bear all these things in mind we can try and limit problems in relationships and build strong and lasting ones. Good communication can help us to avoid confrontation and misunderstanding. If we hone our communication skills we can really get to understand our loved ones and help them to understand us too.

Flowers of Spring
The poppy fields have been extraordinary...more plentiful and brilliant than ever. There are fields of poppies...then there are poppies falling over stone walls and even a lone ranger or two in the middle of a rocky path. They grow everywhere. We were such in search of them last year but never had the vistas that there have been in '07. Am taking lots of photos for my artist friends.
So many things are blooming. Here at Xavier's, he allows the wildflowers to progress through the Spring and mows only when they are spent.....first the tiny yellow flowers that blanket the yard....then come the bluets (though not the one we have), followed by the poppies and now the wild verbena (perennial verbena at home) with a yellow daisy......Nature sure does have alot to offer.
Last week, we made the trip to Abbaye de Senanque where the monks grow lavender and lavandin.....The monks have done an amazing amount of work since my last visit in September. The fields are gorgeous and I can't wait to return there in June when the lavender blossoms will be bursting forth......a field of purple. Lavender fields are everywhere......Did you know that it takes 100 kilos of blossoms (and think how light they are) to produce 1 liter of lavender essence! Below is the picture from the entrance of Senanque. I will take the same picture with the lavender in bloom in June.

Spicy Korean Pork Kimchi Stew!This Korean Jjigae is easy to like, if warming up with a red chile broth is to your liking. The amount of red chile pepper can be tailored to personal taste. Korean restaurants usually offer the level of spicy heat on a scale of 1 through 10. Extra chile pepper can be added for those who prefer super spicy hot.
The climate in Korea can range from well below freezing to steaming hot in summer. With such a wide range of temperate conditions, food acts as preventative medicine for warding off the flu and common cold.
Korean cuisine offers many recipes that are designed to maintain health in adverse climatic conditions. Ginseng Chicken Soup and Jjigae are definitely two of the most effective anti cold and flu food creations in the world. A bowl of spicy hot jjigae will not only clear the sinuses, it will provide plenty of nutrients and compounds that effectively boost the immune system.
Kimchi Jjigae can be made with pork or seafood. With no meat, Kimchi Jjigae can be a hearty vegetarian when soft tofu is added. Seafood Kimchi Jjigae can be flavored with roasted pork stomach and this version has a very rich broth flavor. A Pork Kimchi Jjigae is usually made with large chunks of fresh pork belly.
Traditional Jjigae recipes can slightly vary from region to region or from one kitchen to the next, but the basic ingredients are usually the same. Kimchi goes through a few stages of fermentation. Fresh Kimchi is as crisp as a fresh salad. Old Kimchi starts to lose its bright color and the cabbage becomes soft. Jjigae is nearly always made with the oldest Kimchi in the kitchen.
Jjigae is served in a very hot eathenware bowl at Korean restaurants. The name of the bowl is where the name of this Korean stew comes from. The ingredients are placed in the red hot earthenware pot and the stew literally rapidly boils on the way to the table. The stew keeps on boiling for several minutes after it is served. One the boiling stew is sat at the table, an egg is offered as an option. The egg is cracked directly into the boiling stew and it is fully poached in a matter of seconds.
In home kitchens, the hot earthenware pot method is not always used. The Kimchi Stew is boiled, then extra ingredients are added before serving in a thick soup bowl. Some home cooks keep a pot of Jjigae broth simmering all day and when hunger strikes, meat and vegetables are added to the broth.
Jjigae fits in with the dining theme of Korean cuisine. A Korean meal is a social or family event. The food at the table is passed and shared by all. A pot of Kimchi Jjigae is usually one of the first courses served during a big meal.
Of course along with a Korean main course or Jjigae, a bowl of sticky rice and plenty of Banchan is served. Banchan are side dishes of bite size appetizers. I have had Kimchi Jjigae at Korean restaurants and as many as 9 Banchan creations were placed on the table with the meal. Banchan really turns a meal into a fun social event, because everybody at the table likes to taste the Banchan creations.
Today's recipe is a home style presentation with no hot earthenware Jjigae bowl. For this method of serving a Jjigae, if adding egg is preferred, then the egg must be poached in a separate pan or in the boiling stew, before the stew is ladled into the regular stew bowl.
Kimchi Jjigae (Pork):
This recipe yields 1 large individual portion or small portions!
This recipe is made with conventional cooking methods and a red hot earthenware Jjigae bowl is not required.
Korean red bean paste is flavored with spicy hot red pepper, so if it is used then cut back on the addition of chile paste or chile powder.
Step 1: Heat a sauce pot over medium heat.
Add 1 tablespoon of pure sesame oil.
Add 2 minced garlic cloves.
Add 1 teaspoon of minced ginger.
Add 3 ounces of bite size sliced pork pieces.
Sauté till the pork is half cooked.
Step 2: Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of thin soy sauce.
Add 1 teaspoon of rice vinegar.
Simmer the pork in the soy sauce, till the soy sauce reduces and glazes the pork. (This is a Korean quick marinade cooking technique!)
Step 3: Add 3 1/4 cups of beef broth.
Raise the temperature to high heat.
Bring the stew to a boil.
Step 4: Add 2 tablespoons of Korean red serrano chile paste. (Sambal. Mild or spicy hot.)
Add sea salt and white pepper.
Add 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of Korean chile powder. (To taste. This chile powder is spicy hot.)
Add 1 tablespoon of red bean paste. (Korean red bean paste or red miso paste.)
Add 4 to 5 daikon radish slices that are about 3/8" thick.
Add 1 cup of cabbage kimchi. (Old kimchi is best for this recipe.)
Boil till the daikon radish is almost fully cooked.
Step 5: Add 2 baby bok choy that have the thick cabbage core trimmed off.
Add 2 sliced shiitake mushrooms.
Add 3 green onions that are cut into large bite size pieces.
Add 1/3 cup of sliced onion.
Add 5 large bite size pieces of bias sliced carrot.
Add 5 bite size celery pieces.
Boil till the vegetables are almost cooked tender.
Poach an egg in salted water in a separate pan over medium/medium high heat.
Ladle the stew into a warm large ceramic soup bowl.
Place a thick 3 1/2 ounce slice of firm tofu on the surface of the stew.
Set the poached egg on top of the stew.
Serve with sticky rice and Banchan on the side.
Spicy healthy Kimchi Jjigae!

Hi all,
This is a post for one of the most useful utilities that Oracle has provided us. The Financial Management Application Copy Utility!!!
The main purpose of this utility is to copy a single HFM application to a new HFM application in the same or in a different environment. The utility will copy all the HFM tables from the source application to the target application including the tables with metadata, rules and data.
- to create an application to develop and test future changes in the DEV and QA environment.
- to create a new application with a different name in the same or in another environment.
- to copy an application from the old to the new environment (I still remember the first time that I used this tool to copy an application from a 9.3.1 environment to 18.104.22.168).
Based on the documentation, it is usually recommended to use the latest version of the copy application utility for any HFM version after 9.3. Additionally in version 11, the copy application utility includes command line which means that the authorised user will be able to schedule the start of the copy.
Since version 22.214.171.124, the copy application utility can also copy EPMA enabled HFM applications. There are different approaches on how to copy an EPMA application. The initial approach was to copy the HFM application as classic and then upgrade it to EPMA enabled. An alternative approach is to create an empty EPMA enabled application in the target environment and use it as target application.
A few points before running the application based on the documentation and my experience:
- The user must create two UDL files. One for the source HFM database and one for the target HFM database
- All the users should be logged out from the source application. Even better use a recent backup of the application
- The target application should also be off-line
- It is not recommended to copy an application via WAN. The best approach is to backup and restore the source database to the target environment and then run the copy application utility.
All the above points are based on my experience. So, for more detailed information regarding the nature, the requirements and the steps of the copy application utility, please read the Oracle's document Oracle® Hyperion Financial Management, Fusion Edition Financial Management Application Copy Utility (today document: Doc ID 968956.1).
Please share your first thought in the comments below! It's free!!!

Okay so I received this item in a swap. It is the older packaging and not the newer. I like the newer style better. Also this is .27oz, where the newer ones are also larger in size.
I am a big fan of products that work and have 100% Vegan ingredients. This is one of them. This particular one is a semi matte finish, possibly matte, depending on your lips. It is long wearing. Now I wear lanolin under every lipstick because it keeps my lips from drying out and splitting and getting horribly flaky. It doesn't matter what lipstick I wear, if I put anything with color on my lips will dry out. So lanolin is my protection.
That said, OCC lip tars are drying. I own four colors. Anime, Hush, Momento, and This one. The lasting time is impressive, though with a balm underneath I do find that I need to reapply.
This is a Coral peach color. I think it is fantastic. My skin tone is a smiggen pink (Nc/NW 07-10, or exactly Nars Gobi for reference). I am not the biggest fan of bright colors with my features, and this color come close to being to bright, but it isn't. With lip tars a little goes a long long way, I barely use anything to get amazing color pay off. I see this lasting me a very long time. longer than any tube lipsticks.
As a side note, I tried this as a liquid/cream blush. Literally the smallest dot did both cheeks, stayed on for hours, and didn't move around (have combo, oily skin). I did this on a bare face, no primer, no foundation. I haven't tried it with, so the results my differ.
::edited:: I no longer use this product as I have found peppermint oil to be, in the long term, too drying for my lips T_T

Kiko Milano seem to be everywhere at the moment and I am only just trying them for the first time. Sometimes I can be so slow. When I was in Covent Garden a few months ago, I saw their store and I'm now kicking myself for not going in. As much as I love my high-end, take out a second mortgage, sort of makeup there are times I like to think I'm getting a bargain. For me, Kiko is the ultimate bargain. Ok, so I've only tried a few products, but I was seriously impressed at the quality.
Before I even get onto how lovely these are, let's talk about the price. Normally these sell for £8.90 each but they're currently on offer for £6.20 on the Kiko site – grab them!!
When these arrived and I opened them, I fell in love. The shape of the eyeshadows is so unique and totally Insta-worthy – it almost felt wrong to put a brush in them. This lovely shape isn't just a design feature though – it has a purpose. The eyeshadows are ergonomically designed to allow you to get the best amount of product on your brush. Clever as well as pretty.
I was also really surprised by the texture of these shadows. To say that they are beautifully soft and creamy is an understatement. I love how they feel. You can use them wet or dry and create 'multi-dimensional' makeup looks with this. Each shadow contains spherical powders that result in an 'outstanding colour effect'.
I love how well these blend, and that they feel so light on the lids (thanks to smoothing and moisturising active ingredients). I have 203 (Burgundy) and 210 (Golden Spring Green) and even though I have a lot of eyeshadows, I need more of these in my collection.
BB Cremes don't normally float my boat but this has been a game changer for me. I'm starting to go off foundation a little bit but recently, I've still needed the coverage. My skin is playing up and I've felt that I need something to disguise it and this has been perfect. In fact perfect doesn't even come close.
This is a multi-function creme so as well as covering up my dodgy skin, it also protects, perfects and moisturises. The formula of this is really nice – it's not too heavy and is enriched with Sea Kale extract that energises and protects the skin.
Foundations have started to feel a little bit too heavy for me recently, but this is nice and light to wear but you can build it up to a medium coverage. You get a nice smooth finish, although it did start to break up after hours in a hairdressers chair the other day. With SPF 30, it's also a great option for the Summer months. I genuinely love it and for just £9.90 you can't go wrong.
How freakin' cute is this brush? I am obsessed with it, and it's currently on offer from £10.90 down to £3.20 so it's the bargain of the year. Makeup brushes are the one thing I'm really not short of, but the more the merrier. You'd think that the low price would affect the quality, but it really doesn't. This is one lovely brush.
Face brushes are great as they can be used for a variety of uses. I've been using this for a light bronzed look and it works like a treat. You can also use it for powders and highlighters, although it didn't apply blusher that nicely. However, that was probably just my lack of skills lol.
The synthetic bristles are high quality and are the perfect density for powder products. The brush has a rounded tip that works to sculpt the face and it feels so good. I love how soft it feels and I can see me using this for a long time.
My first impressions of Kiko? Good, very good. If you're looking for affordable but high quality products, then you know what to do.

At times some books will refer to a Type 2593 "Sumida" Armored Car in the Japanese inventory. Careful research has found this label to be an error. Type 2593 "Sumida" Armored Car is the Model 91 Broad-gauge Railroad Tractor. "Sumida" was the name of the firm before it was changed to Ishikawajima.
The Type 93 was designed primarily as a utility vehicle for the IJA, and featured six railroad wheels which could be equipped with ingeniously designed rubber rims, allowing off-track service; these were fitted while the hull was raised using a series of integral jacks. Frequently identified as the Type 93 Sumida (once again, based upon the name of the arsenal responsible for its production), there is some debate as to whether the vehicle is properly classified as an armored car. Japanese literature sometimes refers to the Sumida as a "Broad Gauge Railroad Tractor". In keeping with this, the Type 93 was clearly designed with use in China and Manchuria in mind, as the native Japanese rail gauge was more narrow than in the two regions previously mentioned.
The Type 93 was armed with six 7.7mm LMGs. One each was mounted to the hull sides, and to the fore and aft of the hull. A sixth machine gun was mounted in the turret. The vehicle had a crew of six, could do a top speed of about 25mph on the road or 37mph on rail, and was claimed to be capable of moving from rail to road in a period of less than ten minutes. Armor protection maxed out at about 16mm.
The Type 93 was used almost exclusively in the China/Manchuria theatre.
Rail armored car, also called as broad-gauge railroad prime mover. Was widely used in Manchuria and China by army and naval [marines] units. Railroad prime mover type 91 [2592 "Chiyoda"] was improved 2590 and had special device for regulation the distance between wheels for use the railroads with differ rail gauge [in China and USSR]. Type 2593 "Sumida" [also based on "Chiyoda" truck chassis] appeared in 1933, equipped with 4 lifting jacks, powered from engine [change of road/railroad run took 10 min]. Those armored cars [2590, 2592, 2593] were used widely and effective as railroad engines for tow railcars with infantry and cargos in China [usually two armored cars were coupled], also as patrol rail/road armored cars, for repair operations along the Chinese railroads.

Be carefull when you choose to eat raw animal products!

A lot of people I know love sushi, but it is something I choose to avoid. It is always safer to cook raw animal products before consuming. It does change the texture and flavor, which is something I prefer, but it also kills a lot of bacteria that could possibly pose a health risk. I know most people in south Louisiana love raw oysters, but be careful how they are stored before consuming.
Yours in health,

|I really like how this looks!!! *sound of a million angels singing* I know it's so simple and could possibly be viewed as another 'middle school art project' (or MSAP...thanks Pamikins for pointing out the abbreviation...abbreviations make me happy!) but I don't care, I just love how this looks!
