Summer Shop Update
Joana Schomer
Hello everyone!
I hope summer is treating you well.
We are taking it easy in the city, with work here and there and trying to fit in some getaways, because this year we didn´t have a chance to fully call it a vacay...
It´s ok, because it´s giving me the chance to work on some projects that were in the back burner and getting others ready for the next season.
So what was/is going on here in the shop?
- After the Summer Market Stylista, we had another event that went really well and it´s these personal approaches that really get me all excited! Had a pop up event at the Mini Loja of Atelier da Tufi and it gave me the chance to meet and sell to some pretty awesome customers (all of you that support and follow are truly amazing! - Thank you).
- The promotions that I had for summer went really well, so most of the stock disappeared. So, in the meantime more stock is on it´s way. Now, unfortunately this is a process that takes some time. There are a lot of procedures, specially very time consuming ones with customs and stuff. One thing I´ve learned, is that stock has to be ordered WAY ahead of time.
I´ve been getting a lot of messages inquiring about the new stock. I guarantee you I will try to be as quick as possible to have it all set and ready the minute I release it.
But if you don´t want to miss any bit of it, you can subscribe and be the first one to know.
- I did a photo shoot in an amazing apartment that is up for short rentals through The Blue House Lisboa, and the feedback I received was amazing. Specially regarding the rocking stand that I have been using for display and photos. I don´t have it for sale...yet!! I am working with designers and a factory to have one ready for production to meet the high demand that I´ve been getting. Because I know it adds a huge value and it´s utterly useful, I am trying to deliver this product and have it ready asap for sale! Fingers crossed.
Well, summer in the shop has been somewhat fun and exciting.
I´m so happy that you have been loving the baskets and how much you appreciate it even more when you see it live! That´s the first comment I always get when you unwrap the box: "they look even prettier".
So thank you soooo much for enjoying the moses baskets and for supporting this cause.
In September be ready for:
- new stock
- new event (first one in Portugal and so excited to be a part of it. Stay tuned)
- new little trinkets for baby use
- new way to gift a basket
- and hopefully, new customized rocking stands for these moses basket.
Thank you for reading and for patiently awaiting the new stock!

For Immediate Release
Report: Large-Scale Water Pipeline Trend Threatens Western Water Supplies and Rates
Most projects fail to assess climate change impacts, water supply reliability and cost-effective alternatives, putting millions of people at risk of long-term water supply vulnerability
SAN FRANCISCO - The growing trend toward large-scale water pipeline projects in the West could lead to water shortages and increased costs for the very communities that would pay for these expensive facilities, according to a report released today by the Natural Resources Defense Council.
"The western water landscape has changed dramatically in recent years. When considering the water needs of growing populations, water projects of this scale cannot ignore the impacts of climate change and all the better, more sustainable solutions that exist," said Barry Nelson, senior policy analyst at the Natural Resources Defense Council and one of the authors of the report. "Unfortunately, most of these pipeline proposals would rely on scarce water sources and overlook cost effective alternatives like water use efficiency."
The report, Pipe Dreams: Water Supply Pipeline Projects in the West, reveals that a new generation of proposed pipeline projects lack adequate analysis of climate change, the availability of water, and energy use. More reliable, cost-effective alternatives such as water efficiency are rarely or inadequately assessed by the federal, state, local and private entities that propose most of these projects. The report examines 15 projects in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming.
Climate change is expected to decrease water available from both surface and groundwater sources in the West, particularly in the Colorado River Basin. The greatest concentration of pipeline proposals is in this Basin, with five proposals in recent years to divert nearly 700,000 acre-feet of water annually – roughly three times the annual water use of the city of Denver– from a river system that is already over-tapped.
The U.S. Climate Change Science Program has projected that the Colorado River Basin is likely to face a decline in runoff of 10-25 percent by mid-century as a result of climate change. Our analysis showed that the Lake Powell (Arizona and Utah) and Narrows (Utah) projects have inadequately addressed how changes in precipitation, more frequent prolonged dry periods and higher temperatures could impact the availability of water.
Several of these proposed pipelines would tap into groundwater basins in arid regions such as Texas, Eastern Nevada and the Mojave Desert. For example, the Cadiz Valley Project in Southern California proposes to extract up to 50,000 acre-feet of water per year – one independent estimate calculates that local groundwater recharge is only 5,000 acre-feet annually.
Most of these projects would also require a great deal of energy to pump water to distant users, further increasing carbon emissions, contributing to climate change. The proposed Santa Fe-Pecos Pipeline (New Mexico), for example, would climb nearly 4,000 feet in elevation to reach its destination. This is double that of the California State Water Project's 2,000-foot lift over the Tehachapi Mountains—an extraordinarily energy-intensive water project.
While many new large-scale water project proposals raise a host of serious questions, there is also a growing number of water agencies such as the City of Los Angeles that are investing in water conservation, water recycling, groundwater clean-up and other tools to increase the efficiency of existing water supplies. These solutions may offer greater potential to meet the needs of western communities more cheaply and reliably with less vulnerability to climate change impacts.
NRDC recommends that local, state and federal agencies considering these pipeline projects improve their analysis of key issues. Some of the paper's recommendations are:
- New water supply projects should be designed to reduce, rather than increase, current water shortages.
- Proposed pipeline projects should include a thorough analysis of: the reliability of water sources, projected climate change impacts, energy impacts, costs and alternatives, particularly water use efficiency.
- Projects should carefully analyze the potential for economic and water supply impacts on existing water users.
- Energy for future pipeline projects should be provided through investments in renewable energy sources.

Dearest Blog: Today we take a fond(ish) look back at 2017, grateful, at least, that it didn't fail us at the cinema as it did in so many other ways.
To start, the usual disclaimers:
1-a.) I live in a rinky-dink town, so most of the real awards heavyweights won't turn up here until they're nominated for Oscars, then they'll split four screens across two cinemas for one week and I'll need Hermione Granger's Time Turner to catch up with all of them.
1-b.) If we're being honest, most of said awards heavyweights wouldn't affect this list in the slightest, anyway. The Post would probably sneak on here, and maybe Molly's Game, but it's fair to say that the Academy and I do not share many common "best picture" criteria.
2.) A picture's original Weasley rating has little bearing on its end-of-year placement. Some movies wear well with repeat viewings, some not so much, and some I haven't had a chance to revisit since their cinema runs.
3.) This is gonna get long. If I can drop 1200 words on Batfleck, you can only imagine how many I'll need for ten winners, a handful of runners-up, a few disappointments, and other assorted miscellany.
So, without further ado, buckle up and let's get to it...
My Best of 2017
10. It
"We all float down here."
One of Stephen King's best works gets a worthy big-screen treatment. Sure, they screwed the pooch on Pennywise, whose CGI'd scares are too fake to freak, but the kids are extraordinary and the story is such a beautiful blend of nostalgia, hope, and melancholy that the film comes out a winner despite any petty quibbles.
9. Detroit
"It's a war zone out there."
Kathryn Bigelow's harrowing trip down memory lane to the 1967 Detroit race riots is terrifying, compelling, and sadly still timely in 2017. Brilliant performances highlight a picture so tense as to feel almost like living the horrific events in real time. Difficult as it is to stomach, Detroit is must-watch cinema.
8. John Wick, Chapter 2
"Somebody please get this man a gun."
If you think the John Wick movies are nothing more than a lot of shoot-'em-up machismo, you haven't been paying attention. What appears, on the surface, to be a big, dumb, action sequel is a wonderfully choreographed, strikingly filmed bit of movie magic that serves as the perfect vehicle for its limited-but-lovable star, Keanu Reeves. John Wick, Chapter 2, is that rare sequel that's even better than the original.
7. Goon: Last of the Enforcers
"I need to protect my team."
It was never likely Last of the Enforcers would duplicate the pleasant surprise of the original Goon. The sequel has fewer laugh-out-loud moments and lacks the feel-good underdog vibe of its predecessor, but Last of the Enforcers is blessed with a great cast and tons of heart, as well as writers who obviously cared enough to make the right choices for its much-loved characters. It was a story well worth continuing.
6. Kingsman: The Golden Circle
"I hope you're ready for what comes next."
The Golden Circle is another sequel that had no real hope of matching the surprising perfection of the original Kingsman, but it was still one of 2017's most fun and exciting cinema offerings. Throw in the year's best cameo by Sir Elton John and Mark Strong's heartfelt and hilarious performance of Country Roads, and you've got an epic actioner that's not to be missed.
5. Dunkirk
"We have a job to do."
Dunkirk is a big movie that manages to go small in its storytelling. Rather than relate the famous tale from a familiar grand standpoint, Christopher Nolan delivers intimate stories from ordinary folks who faced impossible circumstances. Gorgeous cinematography and stellar performances are the crowning glory of another Nolan masterpiece.
4. Coco
"There's something that makes me different."
Ladies and gentlemen, if there's one 2017 movie I would recommend to everyone, enthusiastically and without hesitation, it would be Disney/Pixar's glorious Coco. Coco is visually stunning, with a wonderful message underscoring its magical story. Delightful characters bring the celebration of Dia de los Muertos to life in warm, colorful, family-friendly fashion. Grab your friends, your family, and everyone else you can find and get out to see Coco on the big screen--as it's meant to be seen--while you can!
3. Justice League
"Dressed like a bat. I dig it."
Justice League brings DC's most notable heroes to the big screen together for the first time, while taking a much lighter tone than other recent DC offerings. It's a formula that works, thanks to excellent casting and mostly well-placed humor. Justice League's primary baddie is a bit underwhelming, but otherwise the movie boasts solid action and humor, terrific chemistry, iconic characters, and, for my money, the best live-action Batman/Bruce Wayne ever to have graced the screen, one of my favorite cinema experiences of 2017.
2. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales
"The dead have taken command of the sea."
Dead Men Tell No Tales earns a spot on this list as my favorite movie of 2017. It enjoys first-runner-up status thanks to its extraordinary rendering of the Silent Mary's ghost crew, the best thing to come out of the cinema all year long. Upon repeat viewings I found scenes that don't feature Captain Salazar and his men didn't hold up as well as those that do, but I remain overwhelmed by the exceptional effects, makeup, wardrobe and hairstyling, not to mention performances, that bring this cursed band of pirate hunters to life. Every viewing yields some new, remarkable detail, making Dead Men Tell No Tales a joy to watch again and again.
1. Baby Driver
"Your name's 'Baby?' B-A-B-Y, Baby?"
Writer/director Edgar Wright takes his striking use of music in movies to extraordinary new heights in this imaginative tale of a getaway driver who needs his tunes to get the job done. The result is exciting, clever, funny, totally unique proof that Hollywood is NOT out of good, original ideas, as so many complain. Baby Driver staked its claim to my number-one spot upon first viewing, and has had no serious competition since. Thank you, Edgar Wright, for always giving movie fans a real reason to get out to the cinema.
Widely Reviled/Ridiculed Movies that Tip-Toed Very Near My Top 10
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword. It should have been epic, and it could have been hilariously awful, but it's actually supremely entertaining and even surprisingly quick-witted at times, with nice-looking effects, cool action, and shirtless Charlie Hunnam. #winner
Transformers: The Last Knight. Yeah, you all hated it. I got that. Me, I go to the cinema for hugeness. Three Billboards loses nothing if I watch it on my TV or even on my phone, but Optimus Prime? I like seeing him transform in all the glory a 50-foot screen and mammoth surround-sound have to offer. The Last Knight boasts all the hugeness a hugeness fan like me could want, as well as some good laughs and a fair bit of screen time for one of my lesser-known favorites, Santiago Cabrera.
Power Rangers. Considered a flop in the US, its overseas box office may give this reboot a chance to grow into success. As a big fan of Power Rangers in any incarnation, I liked this story, loved the cast, and look forward to more. Plus, any year that gives me a Power Rangers or a Ninja Turtles movie is a win in my book!
The Great Wall. Ridiculous, but visually magnificent, I'd watch The Great Wall again and again just for the pleasure of looking at it.
Geostorm. A wildly improbable plot and ham-handed performances couldn't stop Geostorm from being the most fun movie outing of 2017. Terrific disaster effects didn't hurt, either. Can't wait to own this one when it becomes available for download!
Biggest Disappointments
Free Fire. Trailers led me to believe Free Fire would land near the top of my 2017 best-of list. Instead it's a clumsy waste of an extraordinary cast that was almost impossible to get through, despite its brief runtime.
Logan Lucky. Another movie whose trailers promised far more than it delivered. The caper is fun, but nothing new, and laughs are too sparse. Demerits for barely a hint of Sebastian Stan.
American Made. With the eminently-watchable Tom Cruise in the lead, this inspired-by-actual-events tale should have been edge-of-your-seat exciting; instead it's dull and overlong. It was still a nice rebound for Cruise after The Mummy, but nowhere near what it should have been.
Worst of 2017
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. Every bit as painfully awful as the trailers promised/threatened. I can't remember the last time I suffered through something this horrible, and I have never in my life seen so many people walk out of a movie.
Flatliners/The Dark Tower. I almost put these two on the "Disappointments" list, but then it occurred to me that I'd have to have expected better for them to disappoint. I expected nothing of either, and they both delivered just that: nothing. A terrible waste of time, money, and in the case of The Dark Tower, the incredible Idris Elba.
Would Have Made My 2016 Top 10 If It Had Played Here In Time
Hidden Figures. An inspiring true story featuring lovely, sincere performances. Should be considered mandatory viewing.
2017's Individual Honors
Best Director: Edgar Wright.
Best Actor: Gary Oldman, Darkest Hour. (No, I haven't seen it yet, but there isn't nor will there be any other answer to this question.)
Best Actress: Michelle Williams, All the Money in the World. (Likely to be displaced by Jessica Chastain once I see Molly's Game.)
Best Supporting Actor: Gil Birmingham, Wind River.
Best Supporting Actress: Hong Chau, Downsizing.
Best Original Score: Daniel Pemberton, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword. (Along with POTC's
Silent Mary crew, this is the best thing the movies had to offer in 2017.)
So, dear reader(s), there it is, my take on the year that's ending. It's probably not much like anyone else's, but I guess if you wanted anyone else's you'd go read their lists instead. I remain grateful that you're reading mine, and welcome civil discourse on our agreements and disagreements.
Happy New Year, and I'll see you at Marquee Cinemas in 2018!

eBusiness Weekly
The Zimbabwe Stock Exchange gained 15.12 percent in the week to Thursday spurred on by fears over the erosion of value of bank balances amid the worsening cash crisis. In just a week, the stock market has added $1 billion on its market capitalisation to close at new highs of $7,64 billion.
A lot of investors are buying blindly on very thin volumes, a situation which is technically not sustainable amid concern that the market has now overheated. At the close of the week, a mere $9.875 million of trades drove the $1 billion gain in market capitalisation.
The Industrials Index at 270.56 closed yesterday's trades with a year to date gain of 87,20 percent. Of the 58 active counters on the ZSE, 32 shares recorded a gain, 23 were unchanged, while there were three fallers. Volumes were heaviest in ZPI, which accounted for 45 percent of the shares traded 82.84 million shares traded.
Econet was the highest traded stock by value in the week at $3,5 million with the counter being one of the few that are still attracting foreign buyers. The telecoms operator is now trading on a 52-week high price of 60,61c and a year to date gain of 102 percent.
In Thursday's trading, Delta surpassed its previous $1,57 record high achieved on August 1, 2013, rising 2.43 percent in the session to take its weekly gains to 18.95 percent. The beverages group came within a whisker of becoming Zimbabwe's first $2 billion company, with $615,448 worth of trades in the week adding another $245 million to its market capitalisation.
Delta accounts for more than one quarter (26.6 percent) of the overall index. Old Mutual rose 15.8 percent over the week to close at $4,76.25. This puts the Old Mutual Implied Rate used during the hyperinflation period at $1, 82 – that is to say that if the local currency was to be delinked from the US dollar, the value of the local unit should be in the order of $1,82 to US$1.
If people thought that Padenga could not rise much further, it stacked on 58.8 percent during the week to close at 71.26c, putting it on a PE ratio of 43.2. OK also added an impressive 42.3 percent to 20c on $5,384 of trades.

No cookies, mac n cheese, chardonnay, french fries, camembert…you know the drill, right? But what about if you watch your diet carefully, at least most days, and avoid the usual fattening suspects, exercise several times a week, and still can't seem to lose weight?
We did some digging around the web and found the following reasons that can make it hard to lose weight.
10 Things You Might Be Doing That Make It Hard To Lose Weight
1. Not Eating Enough
Metabolism is the body's process of breaking down calories. You know the expression "you've got to spend money to make money"? Well, you've got to consume calories to burn calories. When you eat food, it stimulates your metabolism to start working by first burning the calories consumed. After this, your body will dip into your stored calories aka fat for energy. The opposite is true if you don't eat enough, your body goes into starvation mode, burning lean muscle mass rather than fat. Ultimately this can cause your metabolism to slow down. Just say no to the headaches, the constant hunger, and the always being tired and have yourself a healthy albeit satisfying meal.
2. Eating Too Many Calories for Your Activity Level
As stated in number one: you've gotta eat calories to burn calories, right? This doesn't mean you can ransack the cabinets or stop at every fast food restaurant from here to work but do eat the right amount of calories for your activity level and body type. Eating too many calories can be just as harmful because the body stores excess food intake as fat (exactly what we don't want). Think Goldilocks and Three Bears: you gotta find that number that is "just right" for you, your body type, your weight loss goal and exercise level.
3. Counting on Exercise vs. Counting Calories
Exercise is essential in maintaining our health; done correctly it will help to build and maintain muscle mass. However, we cannot count on exercise alone to stimulate weight loss. There are many sayings in the fitness industry: You are what you eat. You can't out train a bad diet. Abs are made in the kitchen. Meaning that no amount of exercise can compensate for an abundant amount of calories consumed. Being conscientious of what we eat combined with exercise is the only effective way to shed pounds and keep them off.
4. Looking for a Quick Fix (habit breaking)
Let's be real- there are no quick fixes to most anything. No one said the weight loss journey would be easy, but it is manageable. The key is to avoid fad / extremely restrictive diet plans that leave you feeling anything but happy and healthy. You need to create a change that is a sustainable lifestyle change, not something that works for a few weeks. If you repeat the steps to make a healthy habit, your brain will adapt to this stimuli. The truth is it is easier to create a new routine than to break an old one. There is some validity to the idea that it takes around 21 days to break a habit. Of course, this will vary person to person, but the idea is after about a month of breaking a habit your brain will stop craving the stimuli. Sound like an uphill battle? Possibly, but stick with it because once you've hit the tipping point, it will be much easier to keep it up.
5. Consuming Empty Calories Daily
Not all calories are created equal. Nutrient dense foods are foods that provide the body with more nutrients per calorie than others. Think veggies, fruits, nuts, and lean proteins. Empty foods are those that are high in fat and sugar but have little else to offer. Think soda, white bread, sweets, and fatty foods. Many diet foods claim to be healthy because they are low in fat or calories but they offer very little nutritional value. Often, diet foods that have shed their fat or calorie content often increase their sugar content for taste purposes. Sugar is an empty calorie and may lead to more weight gain than fat or calories. Make sure every meal is jam-packed with nutrient-dense foods that fuel your body.
6. Not Drinking Enough Water
There are no easy fixes to losing weight (see number 4) but drinking adequate amounts of water comes pretty close. A study in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism states that drinking about 17oz of water can speed up your metabolism by 30%.
7. Not Getting Enough Sleep
Being tired throws off everything. You don't feel like working out; you are more hungry because you are running on low energy, therefore likely to succumb to bad choices. Leptin is an appetite suppressant hormone produced at night. Ghrelin is a hormone that tells the body when it is hungry. Not getting enough sleep adversely affects both of these hormones. Leptin production decreases while Gherlin production increases; thus leading our bodies down a slippery slope of never feeling completely satisfied. There is also significant proof that we crave is all the wrong things, i.e., empty calories, when we are tired. People who suffer from chronic sleep deprivation have elevated cortisol hormones (aka the stress hormone). Increased levels of cortisol lead to high levels of insulin production. When this happens, your body's blood sugar drops thus causing you to crave sugary, fatty foods.
8. Doing Only One Type of Exercise
Einstein says the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Well, hello?! Going to the gym every day and hopping on the same machine is just that: insane. Our bodies adapt well to change after a few months of running it becomes easier, and easier and thus we hit a weight loss plateau. We become complacent in our normalcy, most likely because it's easier than stepping outside of our comfort zones. Gyms can be intimidating, especially if you are a complete newbie, but if we never take that first step, we will never change. Run every day? Try a new class at the gym to switch it up. Not sure how to use any machine at the gym? Hire a personal trainer to learn the ropes. Variety is the key to success and warding off boredom.
9. You Weigh Yourself Daily
The scale serves as a method of torture for many of us. We become fixated on a number rather than actual changes within our bodies. Weight loss success should be judged by monitoring changes in our measurements, how your clothes fit, or your ability to run that extra mile. Your weight loss and fitness journey are about more than a number on a scale. Many factors affect our natural fluctuation in weight: water retention, salty food intake, or even the need to go the bathroom. A low number can give us the false sense that we are on the right track and have adverse effects on our exercise regimen. Lower numbers on a scale are not an accurate indication of actual weight loss. In fact, your weight may even go up from time to time because you are building lean muscle mass. Muscle mass weighs more than fat, but it also burns more energy than fat as well. Hence, why you will see a lower number in your waist measurement but a higher number on the scale.
10. Taking Weekends Off
All work and no play, doesn't work for anyone. If we restrict ourselves during the week and go crazy on the weekends, we are doing more harm than good. This trend tends to leave us eating way more calories than if we had just indulged smartly during the week. Weekend binges can cause harsh spikes in blood sugar, throws off our gut bacteria, and makes us more tired. All of these things will leave us craving sweet, fatty foods. The weekends are a time to let loose and have fun but don't always associate having fun with food. Eat in a way that is fulfilling but doesn't completely blow your hard work. Get outside go on a hike, shoot hoops with friends, or take your dog for a long walk. If you enjoy the exercise you are doing, it won't feel like work at all.

|Revlon - Cafe Pink (060) 3 coats
Revlon's Cafe Pink is a new color for their ColorStay line. The ColorStay Longwear Nail Enamel got a complete makeover with a much sleeker (in my opinion) look. It promises a gel-like shine and up to 11 days of shatterproof color WITH the use of Revlon's ColorStay base and top coat. Cafe Pink is a creamy baby pink color that is opaque in three coats. I could have gotten away with two coats but I don't like to see my nail line. I did not use Revlon's base and top coat. I purchased mines at Walmart for around $5.
The picture below is of my nails after seven days of wear and I'm impressed. The tips of my nails aren't even worn. All i see is that the gel-shine has worn out which isn't too obvious. The top coat I used is my Seche Vite. Have you tried any of the new colors from their ColorStay line?

It's almost E3 time again, although its "glory years" are now a distant memory. It used to be THE videogame trade show, but some major publishers aren't even officially attending now. Gone are the multi-million dollar displays, the unwashed masses of fanboys with forged credentials, the trash bags full of free merchandise, and the tantalizingly (un)dressed booth babes. At least you can hear yourself think now.
I'm forcing myself to play through Metal Gear Solid 4. It's like Jabba the Hutt and Slave Leia - MGS4 makes me wretch and gives me a hard-on at the same time. I don't believe I've simultaneously despised and enjoyed a game so intensely ever before.

Wedding is the most significant and special day in a woman's life and you need to look your absolute best. It is that long awaited day where you don't want anything to go wrong, so here are some useful makeup tips for Indian brides so that you can look flawless on your big day.
The basic step is to match your makeup with your outfit and jewelry which are heavy, so a soft makeup look would balance all the three together.
1) Cleanse
Indian brides prefer to wear bold and bright makeup for their marriage functions. Therefore, to keep your makeup intact all day long you need to cleanse your face well so that all traces of dirt and oil are removed before applying any makeup.
2) Moisturise
You should never skip the step of moisturising your face in order to even out your skin tone and remove any dryness . The application of moisturiser will give your makeup a smooth base to be applied on.
3) Prep up the base
Use a primer so that your makeup can last long and for avoiding it to smudge all over the place. Apply the primer after the moisturising your face and blend it well so that your skin soaks in all for a smooth base.
4) Colour correct and conceal
You can use a green colour corrector to hide the redness and fix the discoloration on your face or an orange corrector for dark circles . Then you can apply a concealer with yellow undertones or a brighter concealer to cover the blemishes over the corrector as well as highlight your face for a natural within glow.
5) Foundation
You can now layer your face with a foundation you like which has full coverage and has the capacity to stay on for long. You need a good foundation in this case so choose wisely and avoid foundations with SPF in it as it would give flashbacks in your photographs.
6) Bronze
Bronzing your face adds warmth and shadow to your face so that your face looks sharp and sculpted. You can use a matte bronzer as a contour and go over your cheekbones, forehead, corners of the nose bone and jawline to cancel double chin. You can also use the same product with a light hand and add some bronzing shade above your contour which is near you ear to make your face look super carved.
You can either apply a compact to set your foundation in place or if you want your makeup to be light yet glowing, you can use a translucent powder to bake your concealed areas. You just have to pat some powder under your eyes and below the contour and remove it with a brush after your eye makeup is done.
8) Blush
You can now apply a blush on the apples of your cheeks to add that flush of colour. Depending on your outfit you can either go for a peach blush or a pink blush.
9) Highlight
You can now add some highlight or a bright shimmer eye shadow like gold or silver to highlight the highest points of your face like the bridge of your nose, cheekbones and cupid's bow.
10) Eyes
Brides in India prefer to have a gold eye makeup with smokey effect for the longest time in history. The gold colour matches mostly all the colorful outfits and also adds some sparkle to your face. You can apply some brown eye shadow on your crease in a wiping motion, and then place a little black on the corners of the eye and then blend it out with your brush. Then you can place your favorite golden eye shadow in the inner corners of your eye and blend again to avoid any harsh lines.
You can now add a jet black eye liner to line your eyes with a winged style and go over with a black kajal on your lower and upper water line and smudge it out with a brush.
Apply the same highlighting shade on the extreme inner corners of the eyes and below the brow bone. Fill in your brows with a brow powder and add a transparent brow gel to keep it in place. Finally, add fake lashes to add drama to your eyes and apply a light mascara to finish your lashes with a super curl.
11) Lipstick
You can go for colours like red, maroon or pinks that would match most of the bridal outfits. To make your lips appear fuller you can either line then with a lip liner outside the natural line, add some gold eye shadow to the center of your lips or top your lipstick with a lip gloss.
And in case you want to relax and enjoy the whole process of getting ready, you can get your bridal makeup done by the best makeup artist in Delhi-NCR. Be U Salons is the best beauty salon in Delhi for bridal makeup, moreover Be U Salons have recently introduced an amazing deal on bridal makeup at very affordable price at salons near you so that you can achieve your desired look without any hassle.

Man of the people? Trudeau's peoplekind 'joke' divides
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau caused a bit of a stir when he told a woman at a town hall event in Edmonton, Alberta to use the word "peoplekind" instead of "mankind".
The woman, identified only as 'Aimee' from the The World Mission Society Church Of God, asked a question during a Q&A session at MacEwan University using the word mankind.
Mr Trudeau interrupted her, saying: "We like to say peoplekind, not necessarily mankind, because it's more inclusive. We can all learn from each other."
His comments drew applause and laughter at the event, but he later came in for criticism, both from people who said it was excessive political correctness, and others who accused him of 'mansplaining' and patronising the woman who asked the question.
Mr Trudeau has since said it was a poor attempt at humour, and a reminder to him that "I shouldn't be making jokes, even when I think they're funny".

Dear Nahum,
After hearing your due date, it took us a while to realize that it was exactly one year from the date when we moved to our new city last year. On June 25, 2016 we packed up a big van, drove it 150km down some windy roads, and unloaded our belongings into an empty apartment in the heart of our new city.
Anyone who has known us for more than a year knows that it was hard for us to move (again) and to be the newcomers (again). At least, it was what we thought of as "hard" at the time. But by this year on June 25, 2017 we had come to know a different level of hard — a hard that made the hard of moving again seem not as hard after all. (Thank God that when He gives us a new level of hard He gives us a new level of peace to deal with that hard.)
So, June 25, 2017 has come and gone, and we don't think you quite understood what was supposed to happen on that day. You were supposed to come out and meet us! Every day people are asking us if you've come yet, but you're taking your sweet time. If you don't show signs of coming by the weekend, we're planning to ask the midwives at the hospital to start encouraging you to come. After all, Grandpa and Grandma can't stay here forever and they want to meet you, too. But wouldn't it be better if you just came on your own?
We sure think so!
Mom and Dad

he will be our guide even unto death."

Great to find a tutorial course on the basics of Illustrator. I've used Photoshop for many years, and since it worked out well for most of the things I did, I never really skipped to vector level. I've seen the advantages, but by using a proper resolution for the raster image I've managed to create what was needed. This is a good opportunity to force myself a bit further. :)
I chose this simple image from the cover of an old map from the 60's, from the time the Czech Republic and my home country, Slovakia were still one country. It features some sights in an abstract implementation. I admire these "Rocky and Bullwinkle" kind of graphics, where the irregularities of the surface are not a product of applying patterns during post-production, but an actual sign of the hand-drawn, manually cooked nature of the thing.
I also hope I do not cross any copyright issue by posting the original.
So here are the basic shapes, mostly done using the pen tool:
The linear elements - originally ink-drawn - form a separate layer. They were mostly produced using the Brush tool - I tried some of the options -, the Blob Brush tool, partially the Line tool and the Pen tool. I grouped the separate parts of the lines, expanded and united them using the Pathfinder panel (so they not linear anymore, but planar objects defined by their boundaries).
This is how the cover looks like with (almost) matching colors and typography added. It seems like it only needs a more sophisticated finish. Mid-time conclusion: I see now Illustrator is not much difficult to understand after you've used Photoshop and several vector-based drafting programs for a while.
I have a hard time mixing the colors in a way the whole pic would look as the original. The blue and red shapes are kind of translucent (especially on dark background) as they were originally painted on a darker surface, I suppose, with a more transparent paint... It is quite hard to match the original ones. May this be because of the CMYK system? I feel kind of dumb about it, the answer may be easy...
I added a texture only to the grey background, making the shape a clipping mask. It may not be the same as the original, but makes kind of the same effect. It is however, a bit unconfortable for me to use these rasterized images in illustrator, but I suppose I will understand more as I practice more.
The scanned cover vs. the remake made in Illustrator (the colors somehow turned out different, it seems I could not get the same effect):

"What Do You Do?"
That is a question most associate members, and builders, are asked at general membership meetings after introductions are made. How do you respond when the question is asked of you?
- I sell lumber?
- I provide insurance?
- I am a sale rep for lighting fixtures?
- I'm a mortgage broker?
- I'm a home builder?
- I'm a remodeler?
Those are just a few of the many disciplines in the member ranks and those are typically the answers to the question, "what Do You Do?" Quite honestly, nothing exciting there.
You have 30 seconds to present yourself, for the first time. Each person has their own uniqueness, their own brand. Chances are, though, you haven't given it much thought. If you do, great. For those who don't let's discuss this a bit further.
Let's start with the basics of a 30 Second Commercial:
- who you are
- your company's name
- the product or service you offer
- the type of customer you provide your product/service for
- how you are different that your competition
Seems like more than 30 seconds worth of information but you will be able to streamline after giving it some thought. Take the above information and write it down. After you do, rehearse the answers and blend them together. One tip is to record your 30 second commercial, either just voice or by webcam recording. This would be a better way because you can see yourself deliver the message, facial expressions included. Some would say that in front of a mirror is good as well. It is good, but the video play back is better. You have the chance to "see" how others would see you and hear you.
Your 30 second commercial should be the same for everyone you meet in the association. If, after the person you are talking to has an interest, you can elaborate and turn your your 30 seconds into two minutes. Always remember it's not about you, it's about how interesting the other person finds you through what you have to say.
This blog article will be encouraged to be interactive. There are comment opportunities on the bottom of this article. This blog is also place on LinkedIn and Facebook where there are additional comment opportunities on those two sites. Everyone can help all of us be just a little bit better, so I hope you are not shy (if you are what are you doing in sales?) and contribute. Associates and builders both need to work on their 30 second commercial. Builders are always looking for opportunities in the building industry and they need to be memorable as well. Builders are also selling to potential home buyers, as is all the builder's competitors in the area. What makes you attractive to the customer is that first impression.
Here is a link to a site that can help you even further "How to Write Your 30 Second Commercial Exercise" (click here)
As the building industry starts to become better, and it certainly is starting to look like it is, it's time for all of us to get back to the basics of networking to improve sales. After all, that is what we are here for within the association, after the need for advocacy for all members.

A large-scale operation to bring down levels of arson in the Corby area has been launched this week.
Operation Revive is being led by the Arson Task Force, a joint team run by Northamptonshire Police and Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service, with Corby Community Safety Partnership.
This work will hopefully increase the safety of residents on the estateKevin Aitken
The launch coincided with the Corby Community Safety Partnership's Take Action week in Corby's Kingswood ward, taking place from Monday to Friday this week.
Throughout Northamptonshire, incidents of arson have increased by 25 per cent in the year 2014-2015, compared to the previous year.
There have been 74 arsons in Corby within the last year (2014-2015), an increase of 32 per cent on the previous year.
Currently 40 per cent of arsons in Corby are occurring in the Kingswood ward where, in the last 18 months, there have been 39 arsons - the highest level in any area within Northamptonshire.
Figures for 2014-2015 for other towns in the north of the county are 39 arsons in both Kettering and East Northants and 52 in Wellingborough.
One of the most common types of arson in Northamptonshire is wheelie bins being set alight.
The figures reveal that one in six arsons within the county is caused by a wheelie bin being set on fire.
The police and fire service are out and about as part of Corby Community Safety Partnership's latest Take Action week of activities.
Corby Community Safety Partnership members have already been out talking to residents about issues ranging from flytipping to fire awareness, and handing out safety information packs.
They will be repeating this activity tomorrow.
Fire crews will also be on the Kingswood estate tomorrow to offer home fire safety checks to residents and to supply smoke alarms if required.
They will be working with the police and neighbourhood wardens to ensure they are visiting people who are deemed to be most at risk.
Crews will also be patrolling the area in search of obvious fire risks such as accumulations of rubbish and, in particular, combustible materials.
Corby Fire Station manager Kevin Aitken said: "The number of fires in the Kingswood estate is one of the major drivers for Operation Revive in this area, because the number of arsons in Kingswood has increased.
"I would urge local residents to take simple steps such as making sure they put the right bins out on the right day, so that rubbish is collected in a timely manner and does not build up too much.
"This is just part of our ongoing involvement in Kingswood.
"This work will hopefully increase the safety of residents on the estate."
Earlier this week the community payback team were completing jobs in the area such as painting and unclear signage.
Shaun Johnson, from the Arson Task Force, said: "It is great to be able to work closely with the Kingswood community, as part of the Corby Community Safety Partnership, to raise awareness of some of the potential risk factors when it comes to arson.
"We would also like to urge more members of the public to come forward with any information they have with regard to the arsons that have taken place in Corby or any other area within Northamptonshire.
"Anyone who would like to give information anonymously can do this by ringing the Crimestoppers number."
Anyone who has witnessed an arson in Northamptonshire can contact the police on 101 or give information anonymously via Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555111.

FORMER Leeds United captain Rudy Austin has paid tribute to Whites supporters - and has saluted the passion of the Elland Road hordes.
The 30-year-old midfielder is searching for a new club after his contract ended at Leeds, with a number of Championship clubs having shown interest.
Austin, who joined Leeds from Norweigan club SK Brann in the summer of 2012, made over 100 appearances in all competitions for the club.
The likes of Bolton Wanderers, Millwall and Brighton have been linked to the Jamaica captain, who is keen to stay in England.
Austin, who has admitted to "talking to some clubs who are interested", said: "I was there for three years and I enjoyed it very much.
"I loved playing for the fans and loved playing for the club, it was fantastic.
"Sometimes I got injuries which forced me to miss a couple of games, but it was always a pleasure going out there and representing the club.
"In Norway, the fans were very passionate and in Leeds they were even more passionate.
"Every away game you go the stands are full, that's the passion the club displays, the people take the football very seriously, they love the club and the atmosphere at Elland Road is always pumping.
"I remember playing Huddersfield Town, which is like a local derby, we were beating them 5-1 and you feel the stadium literally shaking with you on the pitch, so that's the kind of atmosphere."
On his desire to remain in England, Austin added: "Definitely, because that's where my son was born and I would like him to spend as much time there as possible."

In a nod to the progressive-wing of the Democratic Party, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton proposed an increase in the federal estate tax on Thursday for all inherited property valued at over $500 million per individual.
Clinton's revenue-friendly overhaul will help pay for an increase in child tax credits for working parents, and includes raising the base-rate from 40 to 45 percent and a lowering of the tax eligible threshold from $5.45 million to $3.5 million.
Individuals who inherit more than $500 million and couples receiving over $1 billion will be subject to a top rate of 65 percent — the highest rate since the 1980s — a proposal touted by Bernie Sanders during the Vermont senator's Democratic primary campaign.
Inherited real estate, cash, stock and other valuable property are subject to the so-called "death tax", a phrase preferred by some conservative Republicans who oppose penalizing heirs.
The former Secretary of State has also offered imposing capital gains taxes on inherited assets, which along with the increased estate tax will raise an additional $260 billion over the next 10 years, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
While Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has proposed eliminating the estate tax altogether, Clinton's campaign says their plan would effect less than one percent of all U.S. estates.
"No family will have to pay the death tax," Trump said in August. "American workers have paid taxes their whole lives. It's just plain wrong and most people agree with that. We will repeal it."
According to the non-partisan Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, only .2 percent of all inheritances are subject to the estate tax under current law.
Despite the minuscule overall effect on the general population, House Ways and Mean Committee Chairman Kevin Brady (R-Texas) said in a statement later on Thursday that Clinton's proposal would be "dead on arrival" in Congress.

- QBMadeEasyAsked on April 16, 2010 at 09:54 AMGood Morning:
On April 14th when maintenance was being done on the JotForm site to fix bug issues dealing with the new platform, I received a couple of registrations. The payments were processed through PayPal, but I did not receive the JotForms these individuals filled out, so I am missing a few pieces of information that I need.
After the bugs were worked on I began receiving submissions pretty close to normal (With the exception of HTML code showing up in the email header, and the $ amount showing up as $0); But I am wondering if there is a way to somehow retreive the missing registrations forms, or if they are just gone.
When I run a report or click to view subissions, they do not appear. I also tried re-submitting one for them to replace the original, but as they already paid I closed out of the PayPal screen. This usually sends me a registration anyway, but now it doesn't appear to do so.
If I cannot retrieve the previously submitted forms from the 14th, is there a way to manually add them to the submission entries for the corresponding JotForm. My goal is to run a single report on the date of my seminar to use as my registration list at the check-in desk.
Thank you,
- JotForm FounderaytekinAnswered on April 16, 2010 at 10:35 AMWe found two pending submissions. I think they are your missing submissions. We commited them as submission. You should receive emails emails for them and see them on the submissions page.
- QBMadeEasyAnswered on April 16, 2010 at 12:35 PMI see the submissions there, but they are both the same one I tried to add myself earlier today. But since that one is in there, I did the same thing for the other one I was missing (closing out of paypal), but it didn't generate a notification or go to the report.
Can you do whatever you did earlier? Then I'll be all set. Everything appears to be working now going forward.
Might I suggest adding a function, where users can manually create submission entries in cases where the customer does not fill one out, but calls in a credit card to the user directly. I know that would definitely help me keep my list organized and in one spot even if they don't necessarily fill out the form.

Interesting that nobody had within the 8 Days the Idea to add Mouse Invert...
Viewing post in Contra 2028 comments
1 year ago(-1)
it is not something we concidered since every member of the team and those we had for playtesting played the same way, so we never had someone saying that it would be cool to invert the mouse.
I hope you still were able to enjoy the game.

Aha. Means, because you Guys dont "need" Invert Mouse, nobody else does. This attitude is no wonder why even Indie Games usually have no Invert Mouse on Release, even when they add it with a Patch.
I tell you how people with "invert mouse on" do usually. Install game, try find this option. If no - close & uninstall immediately. There is no way to find joy, if developers has no respect for ya.

Improving API Browsing
Phuein posted a topic in Questions & AnswersI'm new to BJS, so I'm using the docs to learn. I've noticed some typos, so I forked the docs github and pushed fixes. Nice and simple. However, when using the API to find more info about classes or methods, it's a pain to scroll through and seek the right one. Even with a page-search (ctrl+f) there's multiple partial results. So, I wondered if I could add Alphabet linking to Classes, Properties, and Methods - the big lists. So, the top of each list has A, B, C... Z. You click H, and you see all that start with H. Each letter group has a minimalist separation from the others. I searched the github for where to edit and how, but got lost. Is this possible with the currently used typedocs? Any tips on how to do it? I've read from the typedocs website already, and searched about the docs github, to no avail.

I find the documentation section of the official site quite lacking(see image). I have been googling for 4 hours and can't find reasonable examples of how I should be using the api's . I have started watching the 8 hour video series, but wanted to see if there is a good source for referring back to during development. Let me know if I am missing something here? Thanks,

Is PixiJS enough or do I need another library?
vihanagarwal posted a topic in Pixi.jsI am a student currently working on a simple Picture Reveal Game. The way it works is this: A picture is hidden behind a grid of squares. Each time you click on a square a trivia question pops up and if you answer it correctly part of that picture is revealed, if not, you lose points. The aim is to guess the picture. We will use an online API for the questions. That being said here are my concerns: I understand PixiJS is only a rendered with capabilities of taking input. Will pixiJS be sufficient for the game I am planning to build? I will need some sort of database that holds a collection of images (as I do not want to use Flickr API), and will also need to keep a track of the state of the game. Will PixiJS and regular JS be enough for this task? Or do I need another library as well?

Tracking in-game / gameplay stats in an HTML5/JS Game?
koobazaur posted a topic in Coding and Game DesignHowdy, I want to track some gameplay stuff for my game, like how long gamers are playing, if certain key events were reached, choices made etc. Are there any online services that provide a JS API I could use? Don't want to re-use the wheel. I know there's Yahoo's Flurry and Google Analytics, but they don't seem like the best fit for tracking gameplay stats. Unity also has stats, but it's for Unity games (currently using Phaser). Put a request to Clay.io but it's invite-only. And looking at Playtomic, but it rcently ended official support so not sure if it's the best solution (reading on the new open source thing you set up on your own server. Trying to set it up Heroku and it's pretty confusing, not understanding how it all works together) I tried searching but not getting much luck outside of these, and would rather not build my own PHP/DB and API again. Thanks for suggestions!

Facebook API & Leaderboard
Jaspery posted a topic in Phaser 2While its not recommended for a newbie to attempt the impossible, but I would really want to get right down to business in getting the Facebook API working in my game. I read there been games manage to implement API with no problem but didnt see much snippet with it. I'm gonna get SSL cert for my server to test the game thru facebook. Is there any advice on implementing Facebook API? p.s. hopefully it'll be painless :x

New rewards feature that monetizes +
DavidMBJ posted a topic in NewsHello, We've created a new rewards solution that provides a value-added feature to personalize the user experience, thus help engage and retain players for longer, more frequent play sessions. MyBeanJar (MBJ) delivers targeted mobile coupons for game achievements and loyalty, which are saved in a mobile wallet allowing them to be redeemed at the right time & place. The coupons are for relevant real and virtual goods, based on each player's unique preferences and location. For example, by beating a level a player could win a free drink at Starbucks, or a power up from a new game, credited after install. It's a new way to honor and celebrate achievements, both in-game and post-game, without interrupting game flow. Here's a few of the amazing benefits MyBeanJar offers game devs & publishers: Monetization: publishers earn incremental income/ rev share via coupons distributed in games that won't conflict with other ad units,New player acquisition: publishers' games are listed in the MBJ games tab, including descriptions and links for MBJ users to discover,Cross-Promotion: publishers promote their other titles via MBJ offers for virtual goods, power ups, or other credits to drive installs.For more details, please see the HTML5 SDK link on Github, and/or contact me with questions.

Ukkio - a new way to monetize your html5 games!
thomasbaggio posted a topic in NewsHi I'm Thomas co-founders of Ukkio. I would like to introduce you our platform for HTML5 games. It is based on a very simple concept: to play a game, the user must insert a coin. The price of a coin is $ 0.06 and we sell them in packages. We thought that this system allows users to try more games without any advertising. We strongly believe in "Do Not Disturb" the player with banners, especially in mobile devices. Ok in-app purchase exists, but in our opinion has ruined many games (on the player side). The 70% of the coin's value goes to the developer. Players have free coins at the first access to try the games (we have also other strategies to get the interest of users). We are currently in the initial stage and we have released our SDK (http://github.com/ukkio/ukkio-sdk/). We provide to developers free hosting, unlimited bandwidth, game promotion, payment system, free support. Here's an example of how easy it is to install our SKDs from the command line: Install Node.js and execute command: $ npm install ukkio-cli -g $ cd /my/fantastic/html5/game/folder $ ukkio sandbox $ Sandbox started: point your browser at http://localhost:5005/ Visit our developer site http://developer.ukk.io Please contact me if you want to learn more or if you have questions.

Game Maker Javascript Api Help

API Implementation in Game Maker
SilentxxBunny posted a topic in Coding and Game DesignHello everyone, I am a game developer with a strong focus on mobile games. I currently have 6 engines for HTML5 games built in Game Maker: Studio, later this month I am going to hire artists to do artwork for them, then after some minor polishing I would like to send out to to HTML5 publishers and offer a bulk discount on non-exclusive licenses. To start building bridges with HTML5 publishers, I sent my game Gridlock out as an experiment. I was fairly surprised with the results. I am currently in communication with 7 HTML5 sponsors regarding licensing it. If every agreement goes as planned, I will have made more money from game development this month than I did from going into my day job every day. If I achieve similar results with my game bundle, I think I will make enough to (comfortably) quit my day job. I have been using Game Maker since I was 8 years old and I've grown proficient enough with it to create high-quality games, but outside of GM I'm a fairly inexperienced programmer. I have a decent amount of experience with HTML5 and CSS, but I never got very far into JS or sadly HTML5. Several of the companies I'm in communication with have requested API Implementation. Admittedly, I expected this. I've heard the horror stories about it on Twitter, and it's a huge subject of interest in the Sponsors and Portals sub-forum. I've read about it in Matthew Bowden's book (which introduced me to the HTML5 market) but it only briefly touched on the subject. I've Googled it to death and understand the idea behind it, but it's still something of an enigma to me. I can't seem to find any solid information on API Implementation into HTML5 games built in Game Maker: Studio. I know it's a complicated and tedious process, that some developers charge portals for and I'm willing to learn how to do it. I just can't find a solid resource on the subject. From what I understand, I need to create an Extension in Game Maker that will read JS functions. I just can't find a clear resource on how to do so. Any links, or advice would be appreciated. It might literally change my life. Thanks in advance!

Sand Mandala by Tashi Lhunpo monks
Sand Mandala offering to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama
Created by the monks of Tashi Lhunpo monastery
Viewing of the creation process 10am - 5pm each day
Tuesday 3, Wednesday 4, Thursday 5, Friday 6 July and Saturday 7 July
It is possible to attend also via Live Streaming from this link.
We are honoured to be hosting the monks of Tashi Lhunpo monastery during the week as they create a sand mandala as an offering to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama and give an evening merit-making activities workshop and an evening of chanting.
Tashi Lhunpo monastery was refounded in South India after the Tibetans were forced to flee their homeland to keep their religious freedom. Here the special study, meditation, practice and artistic traditions of the monastery have been kept alive despite so few of the monks being able to escape to freedom.
Tashi Lhunpo was founded near Shigatse in the central Tibetan province of Tsang by the very first Dalai Lama, Gendun Drub. It became the monastic seat of one of the other high lamas of the Geluk tradition, the Panchen Lama, and was the centre of a unique and vibrant culture of spiritual development.
Unfortunately, the current recognised incarnation of the Panchen Lama was 'disappeared' many years ago at a very young age by the Chinese Communist Party and it is unknown today whether he is dead or alive.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama has been very supportive and encouraging of the monks to keep alive their vibrant practice traditions and they are deeply supportive of him.
Over the years Jamyang has built a warm and close relationship with the monastery and the monks and their UK charitable organisation Tashi Lhunpo UK and we look forward to spending time once more with our delightful friends.
Please do come along to see the mandala as it takes shape and please do come to the evening workshop and chanting sessions. The mandala will be dissolved/ destroyed on the morning of Sunday so if you want to see that please do come along around 9.30am.
The monks usually set up shop while with us offering a chance to support the monastery directly.
A particular favourite on the last two visits was the yak hair blankets, really really warm in winter.

How to Get Rit of Belly Fat Without Exercising
As a person's age increases and metabolism decreases, unsightly belly fat tends to build rapidly. Those with a genetic predisposition to gaining weight around the midsection are more prone to pack on the pounds. Not dealing with that extra fat can lead to serious health concerns, such as diabetes, heart disease, breast cancer, gallbladder problems, colorectal cancer, high blood pressure and metabolic syndrome, according to Mayo Clinic. You can reduce belly fat without exercise by following a healthy diet and avoiding fat-building foods.
Foods to Avoid
Sprinkle salt on your food sparingly. Excess sodium makes your body retain water, creating a puffy and bloated appearance in your middle.
Cut down on the carbs. Your body stores foods, such as bagels and breads, as backup fuel to be utilized during long periods of exercise. However, if you don't burn carbs, they quickly build up in your belly.
Eliminate fried foods. These are high in fat and digest slowly, making your body feel bloated and heavy.
Choose your beverages wisely. Drinks with high acidity, such as coffee, alcohol, fruit juices and carbonated beverages, can aggravate your gastrointestinal (GI) tract and cause bloating.
Avoid gaseous goods. Foods such as broccoli, legumes, cauliflower, cabbage and onions cause gas to accumulate in your GI tract.
Foods to Eat
Crack open an egg. Eggs are high in Vitamin B12 and can boost your metabolism.
Stick to lean meats and fish. Turkey, tuna and salmon are lean and low in saturated fats. Fish also contains omega-3 fatty acids, which can promote a flatter tummy by decreasing stress chemicals.
Go green. Dark, leafy greens, such as spinach, romaine and arugula, are high in fiber and low in calories. To decrease daily caloric intake and curb your appetite, eat a hearty salad before every meal.
Get a little nutty. Nuts such as almonds are a filling, low-cal snack. Stick to the unsalted kinds to prevent stomach bloating.
Pick a berry. Fruits are high in fiber and satisfy a sweet tooth. Be careful to stay away from added-sugar fruit products, such as jellies, juices and sorbets.
Habits to Adapt
Cut down your caloric intake. Websites such as my-calorie-counter.com (see Resources) can help you set a weight-loss goal and track your consumption patterns. Reduce your daily intake by a couple hundred calories to shave off stubborn belly fat.
Eat five to six small meals per day. This will regulate your blood sugar and prevent binge-eating and weight gain. Regular nutrition also increases your metabolism, which aids in belly-fat burn.
Drink plenty of water. Often the brain confuses feelings of thirst with hunger, causing you to eat when your body is dehydrated. Flush out your system with eight 8-oz. glasses of water per day.
Relax. High levels of stress hormones can increase fat storage around your middle. Adopt a relaxation technique, such as yoga or meditation, to prevent stress hormone secretion.

Is My Rug Dirty?
There are 3 ways that Buddy recommends testing your Oriental rugs to see if it's time for cleaning:
1) Move a piece of furniture covering your rug and compare that section with the rest of the rug. If the colors are not as vibrant, it's time.
2) Bend back the nap of the rug in the most heavily trafficked area to expose the fibers at the base of the knots. If you see dirt or grit that your vacuum hasn't removed, the rug needs professional care.
3) Unless your rug is antique, worn fringes and edges are often a sign your rug needs cleaning. After cleaning, we can hand sew new fringes and restore worn edges.
You can actually prevent many problems and expensive repairs with periodic cleaning. While rugs in high traffic areas will naturally require more frequent cleaning, we generally recommend cleaning every three to five years. Our pricing includes picking up and delivering your rugs for your convenience. Call our office (417) 833-1732 for more details.

When everyone had arrived we paraded outside, and marched around the church making four stops in the four corners of the swept dirt compound. At each stop someone had drawn a circle in the dirt and written the four sources of this communiy's livelihood: the borehole, the garden, the carpentry shop, and the school. So we read scripture, sang, and prayed for each of these, before hunching down to re-enter the low opening under the thatch roof of the church.
At which point the preacher read the parable of the seeds, and a command with promise from Malachi 4 about tithing and finding abundance in the harvest.
Several things struck me about this service. First, the very Hebrew unity of physical and spiritual. These people did not consider their gardens to be irrelevant to their worship. And rather than murmur a god-bless-those-seeds prayer, they actually carried the seeds to the church to be prayed over. The God who gave us his body and blood, who speaks through His created world, I think would applaud the concrete nature of this act. Second, the church became a focal point for community, as the service ended we watched people share and exchange seeds. And lastly, the way a tithe is faith. To give seeds to the church as some did, is to risk. To risk everything including one's children's survival on the promise of God. If I only had a bag of dusty pods to get me into the next year, I would think long and hard about giving any away, before planting, before seeing what weather and war and market prices and a thousand other in uncontrollable variables would bring.
So pray today that the seeds of South Sudan would be blessed. The literal seeds of a country waiting for rain and food. And the seeds of freedom, of a reorganized society, of markets and trade and books and exams, of drinking water and vaccines and a thousand processes that make up a society.. And mostly the seed of faith, which starts small and dried out and unpromising but in the mystery of God can flourish into a nation that nurtures our world.

Re: Pulling list of people by profile fieldHelen Chen Nov 13, 2017 6:46 AM (in response to christine.murray)
Have you looked at the Community Management Reports? Check out the Profile Completion and download the CSV file. Use Excel to compile whatever profile data you want.
Re: Pulling list of people by profile fieldchristine.murray Nov 13, 2017 10:46 AM (in response to Helen Chen)
Thanks for the suggestion Helen. When I do this, the "work location" field comes up as a bunch of numbers, not actually a location as it's seen in the community. Do you think this is a bug?
Re: Pulling list of people by profile fieldHelen Chen Nov 13, 2017 11:37 AM (in response to christine.murray)
I would go back to your user profile and confirm what you have for profile fields and how content is being populated. My community has a profile field called Location and we pull this over from WorkDay as our system of record.
Once you understand that, then you can go back and look at the data being displayed in the CMR. It sounds like that field isn't what you want it to be.
Re: Pulling list of people by profile fieldBRENDA PROFFITT-WOLFE Nov 13, 2017 11:38 AM (in response to christine.murray)1 person found this helpful
HI Christine,
This sounds like the ongoing bug JIVE-73720 where select profile fields are displaying numerical values. We have been experiencing this issue for over a year and are still waiting for it to be resolved. I run a Profile Completion report every month and spend quite a bit of time manually cleaning up the fields I need as the report displays numbers instead of the actual data.
Re: Pulling list of people by profile fieldb.taub Nov 13, 2017 12:44 PM (in response to christine.murray)1 person found this helpful
As BRENDA points out the display of the data is the product of the bug she cites, but the underlying data is likely correct - but the field you are looking in the Jive Custom Profile fields is probably a "Single-select" field - meaning that a user can only select one value, or it is a field that is pulled in from an HR system such as WorkDay that Helen mentioned. That means that you can set up a translation table to do the translation for you. Something like:
Value In Excel
Meaning in Jive
Boston Office
San Francisco Office
Dallas Office
So, build that table once and copy that it into the sheet you are working in. Then add a column to your main sheet called "Location Value" and the formula for it would be a VLOOKUP to the the translation table. That will fill in the real values for you in your main sheet automatically. Look at the Excel help for VLOOKUP - a very handy function for Excel, that gives it more database-like functionality.
Re: Pulling list of people by profile fieldHelen Chen Nov 13, 2017 1:04 PM (in response to b.taub)
Super information Ben! I hadn't thought of using VLOOKUP to translate the name from the location numerical value to a real name!
Re: Pulling list of people by profile fieldgsvivek Nov 14, 2017 12:35 AM (in response to christine.murray)
If you have access to the Jive DB, this is pretty straightforward. All you need to do is run the following queries:
-- This is to get the list of profile fields and their ids so that you can use the id in the next query. If you already know the id, you can ignore this.
select * from jiveprofilefield;
-- Basic user data is in JiveUser table and user profile data is in jiveUserProfile table. Just update the fieldId from above query
select u.firstName, u.lastName, u.email, up.value
from jiveuser u, jiveuserprofile up
where u.userid=up.userid
and up.fieldID=1;
If the profile field is a drop down or a user selection, you will need below query:
-- Basic user data is in JiveUse tabler, user profile data is in jiveUserProfile table
-- In case of dropdown profile, the values are present in jiveProfileFldOpt table
-- Just update the fieldId from above query
select u.firstName, u.lastName, u.email, pfo.fieldValue
from jiveuser u, jiveuserprofile up, jiveprofilefldOpt pfo
where u.userid = up.userid
and pfo.fieldId = up.fieldId
and up.value = pfo.optionID
and up.fieldID = 1;

All About Refurbished Phones
Sometimes a refurbished mobile phone can be an excellent buy for consumers who want a great product at a lesser price. These phones offer the same capabilities and functions of a new phone and may even come with a warranty. The only factor a buyer should consider is whether the phone is being sold by an established firm or by an unknown commercial entity.
Definition of refurbished phone
A phone is said to be a refurbished one if it has been returned to the device manufacturer or the repair shop. Since the phone would then have been fixed and reset to it original settings, it works almost like a new model. The quality of the phones, however, may vary. The person or the company who repaired the phone has a final say on the subsequent quality of the piece. For example, a phone that is repaired by the manufacturer will be of better quality than a phone repaired by some unknown company.
There is a difference between a refurbished phone and a used phone. A used phone is sold to the customer after erasing the the previous owner's information from it. A refurbished handset, on the other hand, is generally thoroughly repaired and reset. It is then stringently tested for any kind of defect to ensure it works efficiently. Only after this is it sold to the consumer.
Reason for refurbishment
Many mobile owners frequently upgrade their handsets. So the previous phones, if they are compatible with the existing cellular network, are generally returned to the manufacturer where they are refurbished and sold. Many cell phone companies permit their customers to return their handsets within a specific period of time if the customer does not like the phone for any particular reason. These handsets are generally in good working condition, but since they have already been used, they cannot be sold as new products.
Sometimes, a few phones are returned to the manufacturer for a technical defect. The phone is then fixed and resold. This category of refurbished phones are usually riskier to buy as it is seen that these kind of phones suffer from recurrent problems.
Advantages of getting a refurbished phone
Refurbished phones are a great deal for buyers. They offer an advanced level of technology at a much lesser price compared to a showroom model. In many cases, a person may buy a refurbished phone simply because the individual liked the model and the manufacturer does not sell it anymore through its usual sales channels.
