Hello IMBBians,

Price and Quantity:
$2 for 0.25 g
Product Description:
These supple lipliners effortlessly glide over the lips to outline them. They are colour-coordinated with the ultra-last instant colour lipsticks so now there's a matching lip liner to go with every shade. Thanks to the highly pigmented texture, you can trace any shape and irregular outlines are a thing of the past! With an integrated sharpener.

My Experience with Essence Draw The Line Instant Colour Lip Liner 11 Cherry Sweet:
The lip pencil comes in a self-sharpening plastic case. It has a black cap that closes with the click. The body color of the pencil denotes the shade of the pencil. The pencil is very sleek and is easy to carry around. There is no seal for the pencil so you need to be a little careful with selecting them. There is a wide variety of shade options from nudes to pinks to browns and I personally like the array of shades from this range. The price is easily affordable but the quantity is less and if you use them every day, they would hardly last for a month.
"Cherry Sweet" is a beautiful shade of red with Pinkish hints. I absolutely love the shade. It resembles very much to the Maybelline matte Ink Liquid lipstick in the shade Pioneer. The shade would suit any skin tone and for my wheatish tone, it immediately adds a radiance to my face. It is a perfect shade be it for a date night or for an office look. The lip liner gives you a matte finish.
The lip liner is soft and creamy and when you outline your lips, it glides very smoothly without any issue, but when you have to use it to fill the lips, it can be a hassle. If you have dry lips, the chances that it would pull is more. Due to its soft texture, even if you put a very little pressure on the liner, it easily breaks. I have been breaking many of these lip liners recently! It doesn't provide you an even finish if you would like to sport only the lip liner. So, using the lip liner to well moisturized and exfoliated lips is mandatory. You can use a lip balm over to smoothen it out but, it does add a gloss and takes away the matte finish. There is a matching lipstick from this range so if you use them together, you can pull out a lot of benefits from it. The lip liner is amazingly pigmented and with a single sweep you can get the necessary pay off!
The product is transfer-proof and also does not bleed and this makes it a great product to use when you go out. It doesn't bleed too which is a plus. The product is also waterproof and if you want to remove it, you need to use a good makeup remover or oil to get rid of the stain. The product lasts for a good 5 hours without any issue and I love the long-lasting capability with the affordable price. Overall, it is a good Lip Liner and I would definitely recommend it. So summing up
Pros of Essence Draw The Line Instant Colour Lip Liner 11 Cherry Sweet:
- Travel-friendly.
- Easy to glide to outline lips.
- Matte finish.
- Amazing shade and pigmentation.
- Transfer-proof and kiss-proof.
- Matching lipstick also available to complete the look.
- Doesn't bleed.
- Waterproof.
- Easy to remove.
- Long-lasting.
Cons of Essence Draw The Line Instant Colour Lip Liner 11 Cherry Sweet Candy:
- Accentuates the dryness of the lips.
- Patchy application.
- Breaks easily due to the soft texture.
IMBB Rating: 4.5/5

Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving at least a 2-inch overhang on all sides. Peel 2 of the peaches with a sharp paring knife or vegetable peeler (a serrated peeler works great). Cut each peach in half and remove the pit. Slice into 1/4-inch thick wedges and set aside.
Combine the yogurt, cream, 3 tablespoons of the sugar, vanilla and a pinch of salt in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until thick, about 2 minutes.
Combine 1/2 cup of the raspberries and the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar in a small bowl. Mash together with a fork until the berries form a thick sauce. Lightly stir the raspberry sauce into the yogurt cream.
Spread 1 cup of the yogurt cream in the bottom of the prepared loaf pan. Place a double layer of graham crackers on top; break some of the crackers into smaller pieces to cover any gaps. Next, arrange all the peach slices on top in a single layer. Top with another cup of yogurt cream, a double layer of graham crackers, and 1 cup of raspberries. Cover the raspberries with the remaining yogurt cream, followed by a single layer of graham crackers.
Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to 12 hours to allow the crackers to soften and the yogurt cream to set.
When ready to serve, unwrap the plastic wrap and invert the loaf pan onto a platter. Remove the pan and the plastic wrap. Peel, pit and slice the remaining peach. Decorate the top of the cake with the peach slices and the remaining 1/2 cup raspberries. Cut into slices with a serrated knife.

My son has medical, behavioral health and housing stability issues. Many specialists from a variety of "resources"; that is support groups, social service workers, religious groups and the many letters to the editor counsel us to reach out for assistance to help us deal with a family or individual problem.
This is wonderful advice; however every time my son or I have reached out our hope was turned into hopelessness. The majority of people who have promised to assist us have failed to follow through.
I am extremely disappointed to say that those have failed us were people from our court system, the Snohomish County Social Services system, or other social activist groups, which agreed to assist my son and me. But after they find out my son is a "hard and complicated case" which will lead to the potential helper having to put in a lot of time and energy, well, they just stop taking our calls or they forget to return calls.
This non-support from so called support agencies is causing my son and me to have longer and longer periods of despair. But I am still motivated to reach out in hopes of getting real help for my son even though those who have volunteered to assist my son and I have given up on both of us.
Those rebuffs are demoralizing and frustrating. Yet, we just can't give up our desire to get our much needed assistance. I am somewhat optimistic that maybe just maybe my open letter to the public will motivate others who are also being put-off as they too seek help will share their sad stories. Then hopefully (that word again) by us collectively doing so we will motivate those who say "We are here to help!"
Well, then, in fact do just that. Please help us.

The Zeppole are a sweet typical of southern Italy. It is delicious "pancakes' filled with cream and decorated with amarena cherries, traditionally eaten at the feast of St. Joseph.
In fact it is rather curious that in the middle of Lent tradition welcome the preparation of a fried sweet and yummy. One particular would seem to unravel this paradox. Legend has it that St. Joseph had a second job, to fry. By a kind of devotion to the saint, in fact, along the streets of Naples, the fryers were preparing fried zeppole to passersby. This custom has unfortunately been lost over time.
The zeppola of St. Joseph, founded in the thirteenth century and is filled with custard and decorated with black cherry syrup.
On the origin of the word zeppola has been debated a lot. Some derive from Serpula (m) which is Latin for serpent , for a serpent closed in on itself. According to others tempted to wedge, which in Naples is the piece of wood placed to correct the measured flaws in furniture. Again this was therefore a reference to St. Joseph's profession.
The Zeppole are therefore rooted in the traditional Neapolitan cuisine. However, for some time, they are prepared and consumed in many regions especially in the south and center.
The donuts salting , were originally fried in lard, they are now stuffed with custard or chocolate. In Puglia they are most widespread in the version in the oven. Still, in Sicily, they take on a shade more "Oriental" for the dough with rice flour and cover with orange honey or powdered sugar. In some areas of the Calabria zeppola it is typical of the Christmas period. It is so stuffed with ricotta, sugar, cinnamon, anchovies or lemon according with very local recipes (it changes from town to town very often) and potatoes as ingredients in the dough.
In Naples, as well as zeppole St. Joseph, present in all the bakeries also in "miniature" version, it is easy to come across in the primordial version of donuts: the pastacresciute , savory zeppole.
The zeppole in short, are rooted in the culinary history of Naples and southern of Italy.
And here i want to show you the recipe that I follow from years to make the Zeppole (filled with custard) or Sfingi (filled with cannoli cream):
- 1 Cup water
- ¼ Cup Crisco shortening
- 1 Pinch of salt (1/4 tsp.)
- 3/4 Cup all-purpose flour
- 4 Eggs
- Cannoli cream
- Custard cream
- Maraschino cherries
- Amarene – Wild cherries in syrup
- In a medium pot, boil water salt and the Crisco. Once the mixture comes to a boil, add the ¾ cup of flour. Mix with a wooden spoon continually for about 2 minutes until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Take out the dough and let it cool on a flat surface. Spread dough for cooling. Let it rest for about 10 minutes.
- Take the cooled dough and put into a bowl. Add the 4 egg, mixing in one egg at a time. Beat with a hand mixer until you have a very smooth mix.
- Heat 2 inches of oil in a pot. Bring to 325 degrees.
- Using a large soup spoon, place spoonful size of dough into the oil. Grease the spoon to let the dough release easier.
- Fry 3 or 4 sfingi at a time a few minutes until golden. As the sfingi fry you will note that they continue to expand in volume. This is expected as you want the sfingi to be somewhat hollow on the inside.
- Let the sfingi cool off. Gently slice open and fill with cannoli cream, dust with powdered sugar and top with an optional cherry.
- To make Zeppole, put the mix in a pastry bag, cut squares (4″x4″) of parchment paper and with the pastry bag pipe the mix on the paper in a circle. Overlay two circles on top of one another.
- Put the squares of paper with the piped mix in the hot oil and fry until golden.
- Please note that as the mix fries, it will expand quite a bit.
- Once the Zeppole are fried, slice them in half and fill them with custard cream. Decorate with Amarene.
- You might bake them for a crispier and lighter version if you like it better.

Earth's Largest Land Surveyor Community
Hello All,
I have a project in Alabama that is located on the south end, not very close to the coast, but close to a river connected to the coast. I have never used MSL, but I am working with an engineer that has a need to use MSL. As a designer, I would like to know what the cut-off distance is between use of an MSL tidal gauge and/or NAVD88. I believe some coastal areas still use MSL, but there must be a rule for knowing when it is no longer accurate or applicable. In my limited research, I have heard of 1-2 miles as rule of thumb (upland of gauge), but not found any reference to this in a white paper form or scientific type documentation, but there must be something?
Thanks in advance for your help with this, greatly appreciated.

He should be able to interpolate between the two datums from a single point of measure.
convert would be the better operative.
The engineer may need elevations referenced to mean sea level (MSL) because it is required by local government or he/she needs to compare the existing elevations to local flood maps and so on.
Below is a link to NGS's data maps with horizontal and vertical control.
Just locate the control near your project and use the monumentation(s) elevations to gather the information needed.
May be a bit of a stretch for your circumstance, but I would begin by looking at some of the FEMA El Cerificate specs. Might get you pointed in the right direction.
I can't imagine what reason would necessitate the need to use the old National Geodetic Vertical Datum (1929) in preference to the more recent calculation. There will of course be localised and in all probability negligible differences simply as a result of the change in datum and subsequent additional considerations in the calculation of the geoid in the more recent NAVD88.
Not being familiar with the equivalent systems in mapping in North America I can only assume that the more recent NAVD88 is similar in nature to the Ordnance Survey's OSTN15 and OSGM15 geoid calculation to facilitate the use of GNSS and remove the requirement to rely upon physical benchmarks which by their very nature have the potential to be rendered unreliable through geological and/or structural movement. Deep mining of coal and the subsequent widespread subsidence throughout South Yorkshire kept me quite busy throught the 1990's.
Your two datums will in most cases deliver very similar results but it is potentially a significant undertaking to verify values on the old network if said network is no longer maintained.
In short I would suggest that NGVD29 should always be considered inaccrate and thus inapplicable unless extensive checks are undertaken relative to multiple benchmarks in the given area. Any such check can only verify local values so the nature of the specified requirement to use this datum would need to better understood.

Halloween with Alice in Wonderland
Had to get one more scary photo done before Halloween night. This is a composition of Mia Wasikowska from the great movie Alice in Wonderland and of course the ubiquitous White Rabbit with his pocket watch. If you are interested the photo was made with the following: Great photo of Mia Wasikowska. Very sharp photo of White Rabbit. Plenty of blood splash brushes. Several stock photos of scars and cuts. Blending them all together was a task I find quite easy having used Photoshop since it was invented. I also added a background of a fun fair with plenty of blur to finish off the effect.

1. The old standby, a brush. Is still a great choice? They come in lots of sizes and styles, they're easy to use; give you nice coverage and if you buy a good one it can last for years.
2. Don't like working with a brush? Paint pads give you a crisp edge and a smooth finish; it's a great choice for a novice because it gives you more control. I like using a wide paint pad on furniture, nice, even coverage. The tricky part is you have to work in one direction. And if you have curvy areas a paint pad won't work well, you'll need a foam or bristle brush!
3. If you're trying to cover a big space, like a room, you'll need a brush or a pad to cut in around windows and doors, but I would choose a roller for the walls. It allows you to blend paint easily across the wall so you don't have overlap lines. The key to choosing the right roller is nap, that's the fuzzy cover on the roller. Rough surfaces like stucco need a long nap; choose a shorter nap for smooth surfaces like drywall. Another tip, buy a roller with beveled ends; It'll give you a smoother finish than a roller with blunt ends.
Interior Painting – Frequently asked questions
Can I paint directly over wallpaper?
No. Wallpaper can be painted over with the proper preparations. Be sure to remove any loose wallpaper, scuff/sand the surface, then apply interior oil-based primer.
Can I apply latex paint over oil based paint?
Yes. Be sure to prepare the surface properly before painting. Oil-based paints should be sanded to a flat finish before painting. After rinsing, apply Dutch Boy® oil-based primer and apply desired latex paint.
Can I apply paint directly over a semi-gloss paint?
No. Semi-gloss paint must be dulled to a flat finish by sanding*, allowing proper adhesion. Removing or disturbing old paint from interior or exterior surfaces by sanding, scraping, abrading or other means may produce dust, debris or fumes that contain lead. Exposure to lead dust, debris or fumes may cause brain damage or other adverse health effects, especially in children and pregnant women. Structures built before 1978 should be tested by a licensed inspector prior to removing or disturbing old paint.
Can I use exterior paint on the inside of my house?
No. Exterior paints are formulated to be more flexible to withstand temperature and climate change.
How can I best prepare my walls before I paint?
Walls that have never been painted should have a recommended primer applied before painting. For previously painted walls, thoroughly wash them with a mild soap and water solution, then rinse with clean water. If your existing surface was painted previously with semi-gloss paint, the surface should be lightly sanded to a duller finish. If the walls have not been painted in five years or longer or are stained then primer should be used.
How much paint do I need?
To achieve one-coat coverage, paint should be applied at a maximum of 400 square feet per gallon. Rough or textured surfaces may require more paint. On these areas allow for 125-300 square feet per gallon.
How do I prepare the surface?
As a general rule, all surfaces should be clean before painting. Remove any loose, peeling paint, and/or any other substrate that is on the surface*. Scrub all surfaces to remove all dirt, grease, oil, etc. Rinse surface well and allow to dry. Apply appropriate patching material to cracks, nail holes, or other surface imperfections, sand smooth, and remove sanding dust.
*If your existing surface is glossy, dull surface by sanding or use an abrasive cleaner. Remove any residue.
How do I take care of my freshly painted surface?
Freshly painted surfaces may be washed after 30 days. Avoid touching, wiping, or wetting any freshly painted surface for 30 days. After that time dirt and stains may be removed with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and water. Do not place objects on windowsills and shelves until paint is thoroughly dry.
How long should I wait before applying a second coat of paint?
A second coat of latex paint may be applied 6 hours after the first coat. With oil-based paint, you should wait 24 hours between coats.
Should I paint the trim before or after I roll the walls?
The wall area around the doors and windows and along the ceiling should be cut in with a brush, this will prevent the wall from having an obvious and unsightly picture frame effect. Then, the main part of the wall can be painted with a roller, rolling into these areas.
Why do I need to use a primer?
Primers are specifically formulated to seal porous surfaces, block stains, as well as to insure the proper adhesion of the topcoat and produce the best possible coverage.
What is the proper order to follow when painting a room?
When painting a room, the ceiling should be painted first, followed by the walls, then the trim (including doors and windows) and finally the baseboards.
When should I apply?
Room and surface temperature should be between 50 and 85 degrees. Paint dries best between 65F and 85F. Allow at least 4 hours of drying time before recoating.
What is the proper rolling technique?
Fully load the roller with paint by dipping the entire cover deep into the tray of paint. Carry as much paint to the surface as possible. Make a letter "V" in a small 2 foot by 2 foot area with a generous roller load of paint. Fill in the "V", spreading the paint evenly from left to right. Lightly smooth out with downward motions. Repeat "V" with a freshly loaded roller for every 2 x 2 foot area.

Estimating global and North American methane emissions with high spatial resolution using GOSAT satellite data
Publication Details
Turner, A. J., Jacob, D. J., Wecht, K. J., Maasakkers, J. D., Lundgren, E., Andrews, A. E., Biraud, S. C., Boesch, H., Bowman, K. W., Deutscher, N. M., Dubey, M. K., Griffith, D. W. T., Hase, F., Kuze, A., Notholt, J., Ohyama, H., Parker, R. J., Payne, V. H., Sussmann, R., Sweeney, C., Velazco, V. A., Warneke, T., Wennberg, P. O. & Wunch, D. (2015). Estimating global and North American methane emissions with high spatial resolution using GOSAT satellite data. Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 15 (12), 7049-7069.
We use 2009-2011 space-borne methane observations from the Greenhouse Gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT) to estimate global and North American methane emissions with 4° x 5° and up to 50 km x 50 km spatial resolution, respectively. GEOS-Chem and GOSAT data are first evaluated with atmospheric methane observations from surface and tower networks (NOAA/ESRL, TCCON) and aircraft (NOAA/ESRL, HIPPO), using the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model as a platform to facilitate comparison of GOSAT with in situ data. This identifies a high-latitude bias between the GOSAT data and GEOS-Chem that we correct via quadratic regression. Our global adjoint-based inversion yields a total methane source of 539 Tg a−1 with some important regional corrections to the EDGARv4.2 inventory used as a prior. Results serve as dynamic boundary conditions for an analytical inversion of North American methane emissions using radial basis functions to achieve high resolution of large sources and provide error characterization. We infer a US anthropogenic methane source of 40.2-42.7 Tg a−1, as compared to 24.9-27.0 Tg a−1 in the EDGAR and EPA bottom-up inventories, and 30.0-44.5 Tg a−1 in recent inverse studies. Our estimate is supported by independent surface and aircraft data and by previous inverse studies for California. We find that the emissions are highest in the southern-central US, the Central Valley of California, and Florida wetlands; large isolated point sources such as the US Four Corners also contribute. Using prior information on source locations, we attribute 29-44 % of US anthropogenic methane emissions to livestock, 22-31 % to oil/gas, 20 % to landfills/wastewater, and 11-15 % to coal. Wetlands contribute an additional 9.0-10.1 Tg a−1.

Biologists Helping Bookstores blog
EXCERPT: "What's all this about then? I'm not sure if you've noticed, but some bookstores seem to have a little problem discerning science from non-science. I'm specifically talking about biology books vs. creationist books. Sometimes, you will find psuedo-scientific rubbish such as "intelligent design" books next to such authors as Darwin, Mayr, Gould, et al."
"Now, before you get all worked-up and charge into your local bookstore demanding to see the manager, pause to realise just how successful creationism has been in blurring the lines of what science actually is in the public's eye. So successful, in fact, that books whose main argument is that "God did it" enjoy shelf-space with some of the finest minds ever to grace humanity."
"This is unacceptable, and something must be done. Booksellers are not scientists, maybe we shouldn't expect them to be able to discern between science and books desperately trying to wrap themselves in scientific credibility. I, however, am a scientist – and I can clearly see when an error has been made when stocking the shelves of the science section."
"It is my mission to correctly re-shelve books to the appropriate section of the bookstore. For example, "Darwin's Black Box", the famous psuedo-science book by the non-evolutionary non-scientist Michael Behe, should not be in the "Evolutionary Biology" section, but something more appropriate, such as "New Age", "Religion", "Christianity", or even "Fiction". You get the idea. I call on all readers of this blog to follow my example. Help your local bookstore correctly stock their science section. Spread the word."

15 FUNKY MUSIC BIOPICS – honorable mentions, dream 'pics & conflicts
As music fans, lovers and aficionados are perched and waiting for "Get On Up" and "Jimi: All Is by My Side," one can't help but think of musical biopics that have been previously released. This blog was prompted and inspired by a chat with, and query from my wife, as to how many films of this nature have been done — there are numerous. While many are excited for the lives of James Brown and Jimi Hendrix to grace the silver screen, the lives of other music icons have been brilliantly depicted. (click on photo above for full view)
The FUNK Beyond of LUC BESSON – "LUCY"
At the age of 22, Luc Besson released his first short film "L'avant dernier," (translation: Next to Last) in which he also appeared. It starred Jean Reno, an actor that he would work with repeatedly in future films. Besson's new film "Lucy" starring Scarlet Johansen hits theaters across the country this week, and it's nowhere near 'next to last', on Luc's list of movies.
Stephen King's FUNKIN' HORROR — Joyland The Movie
When I first saw a poster for Stephen King's new book "Joyland" in the subways of New York, I said, 'Is that a new movie?,' because of how bold the colors were and the way it's advertised. One quickly realizes it's a poster for his new book at second glance, but it immediately made me wonder — will it be a movie? A reader of his works and one who's enjoyed most of the films adapted from his books, I had to investigate.

The goal of the Clean Water Act is to ensure that all waters are fishable and swimmable by controlling and regulating water pollution in the United States. TMDLs (Total Maximum Daily Loads) were established to help with this goal. They represent the amount of pollution that be in a waterbody (stream, lake, or river) without impacting its beneficial uses (fishing and swimming). If elevated pollution levels (above natural levels) cause a waterbody to be no longer swimmable, fishable, or otherwise meet its designated uses, it is placed on a list of impaired waterbodies (303(d) list). Once on the list, TMDLs are developed for each waterbody.
Under the TMDL program, calculations are made for how much of a given pollutant can be in a stream (accounting for natural sources) and not be considered polluted. Guidelines are then established for reducing the amount of pollution in the water to bring the levels down over time to these levels and entities responsible for meeting the goal (Designated Management Agencies or DMAs) are identified. Responsibility is divided among agriculture, forestry, urban, and other sources. In the Rogue Basin, DMAs include Cities, Counties, Agricultural and Forestry Agencies, and irrigation districts. Locally, program are being implemented to reduce bacteria, temperature, sediment (in select locations), and nutrients.
For more information about the TMDL program, please explore the following links.

Talk to any Millennial and you'll hear the biggest Facebook news of the week– Zuck's banned all crypto-currency ads across Facebook and Instagram. Not cool, man!
Historically, the likes of BuzzFeed, ATTN, and The Dodo have boasted their disruptive digital capabilities, remaining way too cool for TV. But in the wake of the 2017 (and 2018, let's be real) digital media shakeups, those TV dollars are looking rather appealing. Reuters reports on digital publishers ramping up TV content in pursuit of more viewers and ad dollars. This trend goes both ways– TBS launched Conan's Team Coco on Snapchat last year and now is launching a web series based on an Instagram account.

NBC is airing BuzzFeed and Complex shows before the Super Bowl [Digiday]
Across both the Super Bowl and the Olympics, we've done a great job of aggregating audiences on social, on our website and on TV," said Lyndsay Signor, senior director of consumer engagement at NBC Sports Group. NBC Sports has also embedded a social team member in the on-air production team this week to produce additional athlete interviews and segments with NBC Sports on-air talent, including Al Michaels, Cris Collinsworth and Michele Tafoya. Planned segments here include a "Minnesota slang video" with Minnesota native Tafoya and a "Super Bowl newlywed game" with Michaels and Collinsworth, according to Signor.

Group Nine's The Dodo will premier its first TV series, "Dodo Heroes," featuring people who save animals in need, with Discovery's Animal Planet this year. ATTN has sold a pilot of a documentary-style news show to CBS Corp's Showtime and is co-producing a series called America Versus with Paramount Television. BuzzFeed is shopping a game show to a number of broadcast networks, which would be the first time it has a show outside of NBC networks, said Matthew Henick, head of BuzzFeed Motion Pictures. BuzzFeed recently announced a documentary series with NBC's Oxygen network.

Twitter's #BrandBowl Will Curate Super Bowl Ads and Dish Out Awards
An advertiser can hijack the conversation on Twitter to win the Interception award, landing Super Bowl attention without dropping millions of dollars. It leverages the fact that Twitter is one of the only social media networks that sees its active user base and engagement levels go up in the Super Bowl rather than down (a 19 percent gain in unique visitors, says Twitter, citing Comscore statistics). Finally, it recognizes and encourages the growth in Twitter video, both in overall consumption and as a component in Twitter advertising campaigns.
Facebook updates branded content policy to clarify what qualifies as content [MarketingLand]
When the change takes effect in March, Facebook will curtail the reach of branded content on Facebook and Instagram that violates the policy and, if publishers or creators continue to violate it, may eventually limit or eliminate their access to Facebook's monetization tools, such as the labeling tool used to tag a piece of branded content and enable a brand to track its performance and run it as an ad.

Recent changes to YouTube's Partner Program means that it will only accept channels with more than 1,000 subscribers, and 4,000 viewing hours acquired across a year, to its shared advertising revenue programme. This change in strategy results from increased advertiser pressure following several high-profile, offensive, video posts by users. Nevertheless, Juniper forecasts YouTube to account for almost a quarter of all FVoD ad spend by 2022.

Moreover, "Tom vs. Time" has the potential to get people to think differently about the Facebook video experience, since it looks far more polished than the typical web series.

In ESPN's case, it's old-fashioned programming tactics and powerful promotional marketing that it's looking to transfer to Watch. On January 29 the network is rolling out "First Take: Your Take," a three-days-a-week series that is essentially a Facebook-tailored version of the popular ESPN debate series "First Take."

Renaissance frescoes to be restored in €1 million scheme
A year-long €1 million restoration of the Farnese Gallery at Rome's Palazzo Farnese, home of the French embassy to Italy, will begin in March.
The 16th-century monumental fresco cycle "The Loves of the Gods" by Bolognese painter Annibale Carracci is to be cleaned and its extensive cracks filled.
The frescoes, which were painted for Cardinal Odoardo Farnese, are located in the building's west wing.
The project is being financed with €800,000 from the World Monuments Fund (WMF), a private non-profit organisation, and €200,000 from the Italian government.
Although the gallery has undergone several restorations, this is the first time that its side walls – rather than its vaulted ceiling – are being restored.

Flames and smoke were discovered issuing from the 800-foot level this morning. It was with difficulty that the shift made their escape. Six men were cut off, but made their way through the new shaft. The fire is supposed to have originated from spontaneous combustion caused by lard and coal oil. It is impossible at present to estimate the loss that the fire will cause, but it is safe to say it will amount to $500,000. Not only are the mine owners affected but the whole town (Submitted on December 19, 2009.)

In White Folks With Black Kids News: Rosie O'Donnell Breaks Up With Her Gay Lover And 6 Children
Awww…it feels like just yesterday when these two were spotted holding hands….
Rosie O'Donnell has split with her girlfriend of over a year, Tracy Kachtick- Anders, sources tell Page Six. The comedienne, multimedia star and former TV talk-show host, who has four children, confirmed in January last year that she was dating Tracy, a Texas artist and mother of six.
She made the announcement after they were spotted holding hands in Miami in December 2009, and soon their combined brood of 10 kids became one big family.
But sources tell us they recently parted ways, with Tracy living at a separate house with her children, while she and Rosie, who lives in Nyack and on Miami's Star Island, remain on good terms.

Just the thing to do while listening to the pastor. It may sound odd to some but I just can't concentrate unless my hands are busy. Give me a pencil and a piece of paper and my ears are yours. Dunno why that is but there ya go.
These are some quick Sunday morning sketches. One is a member of our congregation and I was interested in capturing his chin. It just caught my eye and wondered if I could get it on paper. I must say the likeness is pretty good.
The second was just a quick little drawing of no one. Do you ever do those?

After a completely football-filled weekend, I think it's safe to say the excitement around the start of the 2010 Soccer World Cup is starting to fade a bit and everything is getting back to normal. OK, that's a lie. There's nothing normal about spending and over an hour in traffic to travel less than 5 kilometers!
This is the absolute joy that awaited me as I drove home from a nice little gym session last night. Obviously I was expecting some traffic heading home (Italy was playing Paraguay at Green Point Stadium after all), but what I encountered could hardly be called traffic. It was chaotic. Cars were jamming the streets in every direction and to get your car to move even a little bit took a lot of time and effort. I'm not exaggerating. Despite the torrential downpour and sporadic hail, I honestly think I might have been better off walking.
You see last night, like most nights, I needed to turn left out of Buitengracht. Unfortunately so did the rest of Cape Town, which meant the left lane was moving at about 30 centimetres per minute. There was nothing I could do but just get in line and wait. That's what everyone does, right? Wrong. Important people don't wait. They see exactly what is going on, like the rest of us, but instead of getting in line, they casually skip to the front of the queue where they proceed to cut in, leaving the poor idiots (like me) who actually wait their turn, to wait ever so much longer. After watching this process for about 15 minutes and moving less than half a city block, I couldn't take it anymore. This is the kind of situation that gets me all red and road ragey, so I got out of the left lane, sped down the right lane (ah 2nd gear) to the nearest intersection and turned around to take another road home. Another 5 minutes and I might have popped a vein.
Even on the other (less busy) road, getting home still took me another good 40 minutes, but at least I didn't have to deal with the terrible driving of self-important idiots. I realise I moan about traffic quite a lot, but I'm pretty sure everyone (excluding the culprits) has dealt with the same frustration and will understand my pain. I've come to the conclusion that people who drive like this are simply too dumb to understand simple cause and effect. Bad driving causes bad traffic, so if you're one of those people who ignorantly drive to the front of the line and cut in: You suck. No really, you do.

"The great thing about the Summer Exhibition," I say to my friend, "is that it combines art with shopping, or at least the possibility of shopping."
"Mmmm," she says.
"Every piece has a price, you see." I say. "The fun is in guessing what that price is, roughly, before you look it up. Also, it's fun to work out which painting to buy. Not that I ever do buy one. And you can't buy most of it because the prices are daft."
Earth, going for a song - (amendment) £98,000!
"Mmmm," she says.
"But," I witter, "there's always the odd thing you could buy. Maybe. At a push. If you took out another mortgage."
We are at the Royal Academy of Arts, waiting in line at the members' desk to collect the tickets. They used to mail them out, but now you have to ring up to find out what date and time you've been given. I know my date is today, but I'm not sure of the time. My iPhone diary says 10.30am, but my iPhone diary is unreliable, because I input the data.
"I think our slot is 10.30," I say, looking at my watch, which says 10.25.
"Your slot is 1.00pm." Says the guy sitting behind the desk, handing us our tickets.
"I can't do 1.00pm!" says my friend.
"We can't do 1.00pm," I say to the guy behind the desk. "That's ages away. Could you possibly let us in, like, right now. Please."
"No," he says, "sorry."
"Say something," says my friend, sotto voce, because she knows I'm quite good at blagging my way into stuff.
I can't think of anything, which is unusual. Then I think of something, which I later think is stupid. Of course.
"We have a train to catch," I say. "We really have to go in now, if possible. Please."
"We have a train to catch," I say. "We really have to go in now, if possible. Please."
"No," he says. "Sorry. You can't go in now. You can only go in at 1.00pm."
Off we go to have a coffee and take stock. I look at the tickets.
"We could be surreptitious," I say. "We could try and get in anyway. We could have misread it. We could have thought it said 11.00."
"Hardly," says my friend, "because there's also that bit where it says pm."
"True," I say. "Still, worth a go. We might get in. Nothing ventured... Carpe diem… You only live once… Live and let die... Blah, blah."
We go to join the queue upstairs. There are two queues actually, so we have to choose. One has a scary-looking woman at the front, who is carefully examining all the tickets and turning people away. The other has a gentle-looking guy in a wheelchair at the front, who is smiling.
As we approach the guy in the wheelchair I start to feel nervous.
"Shall we just come back later?" I say to my friend. "Or never."
"Shall we just come back later?" I say to my friend. "Or never."
"No," she says. "We've come all this way. What have you got to lose? Do it. If he challenges you, just tell him we got the time wrong."
"Hi," I say, smiling at the guy in the wheelchair (actually I may have forgotten to smile) and handing him my members' card to scan… He zaps the card and I hand him the tickets… and he waves us through.
"Cool!" says my friend.
"Did you like that?" I ask my friend.
"Yes!" she says.
"With my hand over the time," I say.
"Yes!" she says. "And with the tickets upside down. Good work."
"The great thing about Adam Ant," I say to Middle One as we stand in the queue outside the Brixton Academy, waiting to go in and see him in concert, "is that he's totally bonkers. You can see it in the video for Stand and Deliver and for Prince Charming. Handsome, yes, but mad behind the eyes. Now he's not handsome anymore, but he's still mad behind the eyes."
It's the weirdest queue of people I've ever seen in my life, and quite a contrast to the people in the queue at the RA that morning. There, they were generally tall, elderly, slim, silver-haired, wearing a pale linen jacket (him). Or, short, elderly, tanned, blow-dried hair, wearing a floaty dress (her). Here, they are generally short, elderly, fat, pale, tattooed (him), and short, elderly, fat, pale, tattooed (her). And in many cases dressed as Adam Ant circa 1981, the Stand and Deliver video (both him and her).
Adam Ant is good, and surprisingly energetic for a man considerably older even than I am. And he really reminds me of someone: camp prancing, hand in air, floaty scarf in pocket. Who is it?
He plays his famous hits, of course, including Stand and Deliver (number one, April 1981, stayed there for five weeks) but the best song of the night is his version of Get It On by T-Rex, which is played at full blast by three guitars, one bass, and two sets of drums.
Half-way through the gig I queue up for a drink. Middle One wants a coke. I want a beer, a nice beer. They don't have coke or a nice beer. They have iced tea in cans and Carling on tap.
"They only had this iced tea," I say, handing Middle One the can when I get back. "And I had to get this wife-beater beer."
"You are so special," says Middle One. "Carling isn't called wife-beater, that's Stella."
"Oh," I say, feeling silly. And then I remember who Adam Ant reminds me of: Johnny Depp, in Pirates of the Caribbean.
Love E x
I still have my copy of the original single.
P.S. It was Middle One's idea to go and see Adam Ant. He loves music from the 1980s. He reckons the best year ever, music-wise, was 1983. When I looked it up I found all these artists had albums released...

Sicilian beauty – a trend brought up by designer duo Dolce & Gabbana. Chic Italian woman have always been a subject for discussion; nowhere else in the world you won't find as stylish woman as Italian are. Beautiful sun tan suits colourful prints very well, ruffles and lace make this girl a true coquette. Hopefully we'll see more from Egle pretty soon.

Sole Florentine
A classic dish by any definition, sole Florentine wraps tender, sweet fillets of sole around a spinach-flavored filling and bakes the pinwheels in a creamy béchamel sauce. The leafy green's mineral-rich flavor pairs particularly well with the fish's subtle sweetness.
Why This Recipe Works
For our sole Florentine recipe, we preferred a Parmesan cheese–bound filling to the bread-bound ones we tried. As for the spinach, frozen worked quite well and required no effort outside of defrosting it and squeezing it dry before incorporating it into the filling. With a few sautéed shallots, the simple filling tasted pretty good. As for the sauce, most sole Florentine recipes start with a roux: a combination of butter and flour cooked together until the flour has lost its starchy flavor. To this mixture, dairy—be it milk, cream, or a combination thereof—is added and the sauce is simmered until thickened. For a sauce that could be made the day before and reheated, we substituted cornstarch for flour with great results.

I was one of those children more sensitive than most. I was teased a lot, and it was upsetting. I was told that the kids (mostly boys, in grade school) picked on me because they could get a "rise" out of me. Basically, I was told I should just suck it up. Sigh. Life was different then, but even now many people don't grasp that this is not how brains work. That being sensitive isn't a a bad thing.
Sensitivity is an emotional trait found in 20 percent of the population. People like me are part of a group called Highly Sensitive People, or HSP. It's an attribute, and a biological fact (YES) like any other: tall or short, red hair or blonde. We can work at adapting to the world the way a shorter person wears high heels, or a brunette becomes a blonde. At the end of the day, we are who we are. Warts and all.
I've been trying for a few weeks to find a good topic for a post, and failing. I recently didn't get a job I really wanted, and lost a friend I treasured. But one of the great memories from the past few weeks was sitting with adored co-workers at my volunteer gig, and taking the online quiz to see who was HSP.
This is always a fun exercise. My experience is that many people don't want to take it, and they resist and push forcefully against the idea because there is a negative connotation to being sensitive. I've witnessed this so many times. "But I'm not x! I'm not y! The subway no longer jolts me! I walk fast through the crowd." High heels, people, high heels.
20 percent of the population, and the majority of the people in my life who I care about, are HSP. Want to give it a go? Click through to take the self-test: hsperson.com

Is that or is that not the grossest post title you've ever seen? IT'S REALLY NOT MEANT TO BE BRAGGY AND ANNOYING IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE HELPFUL.
And I need something SEO/Pinteresty/eye-catching enough for you blogger bubs who may have started the New Year like, 'whut, where are my opportunities?'.
I'll also preface this post by filling you in on a little secret – not all of these collabs are paid. Shocked emoji face right?
So if you're JUST interested in how to get brands to pay you, this may not be the best post and I'm definitely NOT the best blogger to tell you that (reader, I'm so skint).
However, if you're looking for a few tips on what worked for me, when it comes to working with more brands, then jump right in…
December 2017 and I had 1 brand collaboration on the go – February 2018 and I have more than 10 currently crack-a-lackin'.
This hasn't been *purely* luck as when the bells chimed on January 1st and I went part-time at my regular job, I instantly made actionable changes into how I operate and market my own brand – this blog.
Here's what I did.
I Replied to Emails
The snob in me only used to reply to opportunities that really interested me, with brands that I really loved.
Other reach outs normally got brushed off with a polite thank you and sent to my email archives.
Well, in my 'I'm part-time and poor now' new year panic, I went through those archives and replied to those brands or PRs just to let them know that I was ready to take on more collaborations now I had more time and to get in contact if their campaign was still running or if they had something else on.
I Emailed Old Contacts
I took one whole afternoon out to delve through my old collaborations and email the contacts I had previously worked with.
Again, I went down the 'new year, new me' route and told them I was sending an updated media kit, as my following and readership had grown since last working for them and just asked if they had any blogger collaborations coming up.
Contacting people you already know, doesn't feel as cold as a mail-out or prospective pitch and sometimes it's just really nice to have a catch up with PRs or people you've worked with before to see how they are!
I Pitched To New Brands
After a very bloggy day with my buddy Laura, we both went away and devised a pitch email template that we could send out to brands we'd love to work with.
We ensured they were easily customisable so each of our favourite brands got a custom email with examples of similar work to what we could offer, ideas of content we could produce for them and asking to be added to mailing lists.
I'd also pop at the end that I'm available for coffees/face-to-face meetings as I do really enjoy meeting new people.
This has been my most successful method of getting new collaborations FOR SURE.
I believe my style of pitching has worked because I am modest and humble yet I tell the brands exactly what it is I offer them.
I also give them HONEST stats and follower counts because I am more than happy to provide screenshot of stats if they require them.
I Explored Opportunity Apps and Groups
There are a ton of Facebook groups, mailing lists and apps that you can sign up to that post collaboration opportunities daily.
Whilst you may think, 'well did you really win collabs this way or did you just apply for ones that were already there?', you're only half right.
Yes I have secured a couple of collaborations this way BUT the collaborations I've secured in 2018 so far, have come from contacts I had that I had made through these means last year.
What I mean is, I submitted an application for a collaboration through an app last year which I was approved for. Fast forward to this month and the PR directly contacted me about a new campaign they have coming up.
Whilst you may be fighting against a sea of other content creators through this method of brand reach-out, you never know who will keep your details for a future campaign where they want to work with you directly!
I Stalked LinkedIn
There are a ton of posts out in the blogosphere about how to get LinkedIn to work for you and if you get it up and running – it really can.
It doesn't mean you can go on it and add every Tom, Dick, Harry and Jack Wills just to get brand contacts – what it does mean is that you can more easily find contact details for the people who work in influencer outreach for those brands.
Then you could request a connection (but never pester) or, if they have their work email address, you can send one of those pitch emails you should've created by now (well not by now because that would involve leaving this blog post and PLEASE DON'T).
I Networked
Go to events if you can, or perhaps be REALLY lucky and have a mate who will introduce you to a contact they have (although this can be tricky between friends as NO ONE LIKES A USER OR A BEGGAR FRIEND).
Even if the event isn't up your alley, you could meet someone from the PR team and introduce yourself, swap details and contact them at a later date.
I Shared My USP
In 2018 you HAVE to offer brands something different. You must be good at writing, photography and social media so that they choose to work with you over Cathy Can't Write (I know what you're thinking – LOL Vix, you're not good at any of these things. Yeah, cheers).
So when you're pitching or applying or negotiating a collaboration, make sure you tell the brand or the PR what it is that you can offer them that is different to what others are offering.
This doesn't mean dragging them by calling them Cathy Can't Write but it means showing content you've done before that stands out or offering up ideas that haven't been done to death previously.
I Was Open To Offers
When I tweeted out about my abysmal treatment from a brand who were incredibly rude to me and made me work for them for about 6 months without paying me, a very kind blogger who also works in blogger outreach, reached out to me and offered me a space on a collab she was working on.
As I wanted more experience in working with brands AND I was incredibly grateful that she was throwing me a bone – I took it on and wanted to ensure I did a decent job on an engaging blog post and photographs to match. You can let me know if I achieved that by reading this one here!
It also meant that I was more open to taking on things that I might not have previously but could now think of different and engaging ways to spin the content my way.
Hopefully this post has given you some inspiration for a few things you can do to up your brand collab game this year.
I also offer blog-coaching packages where I can spend dedicated time with you, doing all of the above (and more) so if that's something you're interested in – contact me and have a look at my Services page.

for marriage, for serious relationships
I do not like to talk a lot about myself. Would be better if you will try to discover me by yourself. I general, I think that I am kind, modest, charming, purposeful. I like evening walks around the city, and in the cold, rainy weather, I think that there is nothing better than watching an interesting film, wrapped in a warm blanket with a mug of hot chocolate. I prefer comedies and melodrama. I love animals. My biggest hobby is an interior design. In the future I plan to design a design in my own home.
So, I know really good what kind of man I see close by me. My future husband should has such qualities as honesty, kindness, politeness, with a good sense of humor, wish him to be interesting, with beautiful literate speech, you know it is when somebody start to talk and you feel that you fall in love at this minute! I want him to have serious intentions and be ready to creat strong family, happy family with values and traditions

State's Gordon enjoys being valuable piece of the bullpen
It wasn't long ago when Cole Gordon was sporting a mullet and an American flag bandanna in the Mississippi State dugout while leading rally cheers and cutting up as the Bulldogs won a Southeastern Conference Championship in 2016.
Along the way there were opportunities for the big 6-5, 240-pounder to show off the pop in his bat and he had some big hits like a game-winner on the road at Vanderbilt as a freshman. He also smashed a pinch-hit home run at Southern Miss a year ago in the NCAA regionals.
Now, Gordon spends all of his time coming in with the pressure on and getting those big bats out. It's a stark contrast to the happy-go-lucky times in the dugout and the opportunities to knock one in the gap or over the fence at the plate.
"The hardest part is watching batting practice while I run," Gordon joked. "I miss it sometimes, but I'm just focused on pitching. So much goes into both of them and it's kind of been new to put all my time into pitching. Every day there's something to figure out but it's been fun."
Over time, Gordon has developed the mentality and the prowess on the mound to help his team beyond just cheering them on in the dugout. This season is his first as a full-time pitcher even though he started or relieved most of the season a year ago helping the Bulldogs to a second-straight super regional.
This year he's been a huge reason down the stretch that they overcame super regional sadness and punched a ticket to Omaha. He's thrown 53.2 innings this season with 63 strikeouts and a 4.86 earned run average, but his work in the postseason has been a large part of their movement forward.
In the last three games against Oklahoma in an elimination game, Vanderbilt in Friday's game one of the super regional and the game three on Sunday, Gordon threw a combined 13 innings giving up 10 hits, four runs and he struck out 20 batters.
Both appearances against the Commodores were critical. Gordon entered the game in trouble both times and threw 3.1 innings on Friday with three strikeouts and 3.2 innings on Sunday with seven. He didn't give up a run in either of the contests and allowed just three hits total.
"Cole Gordon was the MVP of the regional," MSU outfielder Jake Mangum said. "What he did was he got us to Omaha. Cole Gordon allowed us to be in this situation. He took the ball in game one and game three with confidence and he did everything he had to do for us to win the series."
All of that is a little surreal to Gordon, who doesn't plan on taking that credit, either. State interim coach Gary Henderson will oblige. He's been one of Gordon's biggest fans the last two seasons and has continued to trust in him to get outs.
He put Gordon in on Sunday of the Florida series, before going to Zach Neff or Riley Self, and he delivered two shutdown innings. He went back to him after he gave up three runs without recording an out against Oklahoma and Gordon pitched six innings against the Sooners to allow State to save the bullpen.
"There's a lot of times that I wasn't throwing it well and I was getting hit," Gordon said. "The fact that he stayed with me and instilled confidence in me, it means everything. It means I get to keep pitching and keep playing. What he's done for me and for this pitching staff, it's amazing."
What's working best for the big right-hander right now? He likes the break he's getting on his curveball and cut fastball and it's getting past hitter for swings and misses as evidence in the seven strikeouts he recorded Sunday.
As he's developed as a pitcher, it's also allowed him to think about his future. Gordon took part in senior day festivities as a junior during the last weekend of the season. He said this week that he's thought about returning to the team but he's still considering his options on his life moving forward.
For now, he's going to focus on continuing to play with the team that he loves.
"I love being on this team," Gordon said. "There are a lot of younger guys and a lot of older guys. It's a dynamic that's cool to see and it's fun to see this team develop. We had a lot of people count us out, but what we've been able to do is exciting.
"We can't really bring our emotions into words. All I can say is that we've been together through everything and this program is so much bigger than a single person or a single coach. Whatever happens, we have 30 guys in there ready to lay it on the line every day.
"The last two years we've been to super regionals and it hurts to come up short. Knowing that feeling, being able to push through and have a chance to win it all, it really is a blessing."

TETUAN (TETTAwAN), the only open port of Morocco on the Mediterranean, a few miles S. of the Strait of Gibraltar, and about 40 M. E.S.E. of Tangier. Population about 25,000, of whom a fifth are Jews. It is picturesquely situated on the northern slope of a fertile valley down which flows the W. Martil, with the harbour of Tetuan, Martil, at its mouth. Behind rise rugged masses of rock, the southern wall of the Anjera country, practically closed to Europeans, and across the valley are the hills which form the northern limit of the still more impenetrable Rif. In point of cleanliness Tetuan compares favourably with most Moorish towns. The streets are fairly wide and straight, and several of the houses belonging to aristocratic Moors, descendants of those expelled from Spain, have fine courts surrounded by arcades, some with marble fountains and planted with orange trees. Within the houses the ceilings are often exquisitely carved and painted in Mauresque designs, such as are found in the Alhambra, and the tile-work fir which Tetuan is known may be seen on floors, pillars and dados. The principal industries are tilework, inlaying with silver wire, and the manufacture of thick-soled yellow slippers, much-esteemed flintlocks, and artistic " towels " used as cape and skirt by Moorish country girls. The Jews live in a mellah, separated from the rest of the town by gates which are closed at night. The harbour of Tetuan is obstructed by a bar, over which only small vessels can pass, and the roadstead, sheltered to the N., N.W. and S., is exposed to the E., and is at times unsafe in consequence of the strong Levanter. The present town of Tetuan dates from 1492, when the Andalusian Moors first reared the walls and then filled the enclosure with houses. It had a reputation for piracy at various times in its history. It was taken on the 4th of February 1860 by the Spaniards under O'Donnell, and almost transformed by them into a European city before its evacuation on the 2nd of May 1862, but so hateful were the changes to the Moors that they completely destroyed all vestiges of alteration and reduced the city to its former state.
