This Is the Reason Chrissy Teigen Always Looks Flawless on Vacation (Apart From Genetics and Money)
The model mama uses a strategy that mere mortals could actually try.
It's true: Chrissy Teigen's every vacation moment is downright picture-perfect — and we're talking about the wardrobe as well as the scenery. And yes, she's a model blessed with equal doses beauty and unfiltered humor (we love her for that), so genetics certainly comes into play. Of course, it doesn't hurt to have a boatload of money when you want to put together a spectacular vacation wardrobe. So check, check, and check.
But! Chrissy leaves nothing to chance. To create those perfect vacation outfits, she creates an actual lookbook — on real paper, in a real binder — to keep everything organized. That's a page right out of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Erika Girardi's book (to to speak), who famously not only travles with fashion lookbooks — but indeed with her entire glam squad of real human beings!
Chrissy and John Legend are once again giving us all travel envy thanks to the fun-loving photos they are sharing from their time in Corsica.
Chrissy and hubby John Legend are currently on a fabulously long holiday — bless their hearts. After spending some time at their favorite place, Lake Como, where it all began, the beloved celeb couple has headed to Corsica to move to the nine-day yachting portion of their trip, along with stylist pal Jen Atkin and photographer Mike Rosenthal.
Chrissy, who is famously a fan of Below Deck, couldn't wait to begin her trip — and channel the life of intrigue portrayed on the Bravo show!
She wasted no time having childlike fun at sea — jumping off the boat with a pink pool noodle in hand.
But back to the matter of how she keeps all those vacay looks together: She answered the question in a tweet, in which she revealed her lookbook, turning it page by page. She self-deprecatingly called it "pathetic" — but whatever works!
And did you look closely at that book's front cover? Yes, you'll see the whole thing riffs off the Below Deck theme, with a cover page bearing the Below Deck logo!

In today's lesson we're going to compare and contrast different networking tools. We begin with a crimper.
A crimper is used to attach terminating end components with their partnering connecting components – think RJ45 cable and cable connector.
What we do is diagram how the connections work, what they look like and how they should be configured to match up. There will be times when you will need to produce your own cable and connections, be it for a repair, or to shorten an installation, regardless you will know how each component is designed and to correctly combine them into one unit.

I started because I wasn't very feminine, to tell you the truth. Pole dancing connected my emotional feeling and helped me to stay with the emotion of dancing. I would love to find someone like me who is curious about trying new things and likes to learn.
I love men who are willing to try new things, travel to new places, and try new kinds of cuisine. You don't have to be a millionaire, but it is important that you have a career you love and a good relationship with money. I love international food—my craving can be so bizarre. If I'm sick, my comfort food is porridge and Asian pickles.
Other things I admire are men who are good communicators, family-orientated, and honest. I'm giving and I would love to meet someone who is giving, as well. I want to go to Greece, Santorini, a beach resort where I can show off my lotus tattoo. When people tell me something can't be done, that's when I most want to do it.

AceShowbiz - It doesn't take that long for Rick Ross to respond to Nicki Minaj's recent diss. Instead of snapping back at the Young Money female emcee, the "Purple Lamborghini" rapper had nothing but nice words to her when he stopped by "The Breakfast Club" on Thursday, August 15.
For those who need a reminder, when Nicki put Rick on blast in an episode of Joe Budden's podcast series, she mentioned the time when the latter told Meek Mill that she was a keeper during a meeting with Barack Obama. However, he later blasted her on his 2017 song "Apple of My Eyes". Now, Rick attempted to defuse the situation and revealed how he felt during the meeting.
He said, "I mean, if somebody went to meet Obama with you, she is a keeper until you find out otherwise." Rick further remembered, "She was around me a few times but other than that, she was a huge talent but she was playing a very important position at the time. She was in between Meek and Drake at the time," referring to the two male rappers' past beef.
Mentioning that Nicki had "a very fragile role" at that time, Rick stated, "But most definitely when I seen it go sour, it would be easy to assume she may have had something to do with that and if somebody tells you they didn't, they're lying. But everybody moved forward. She moved forward, she doing her thing. I'm happy to see her do that."
Nicki apparently saw the interview, but rather than reacting to Rick's response, she put her focus on the fact that Charlamagne Tha God kept mentioning her on "The Breakfast Club" when she'd been banned from the show. "Charlemagne get so excited when he thinks some1 bout to day smthn negative about me," she wrote. "That tail get to wagging, that lil p***y get to poppin, he get to giggling."
She continued, "They banned me from the show but always talkn bout me. I'm pullin up cuz we in NY soon. I'd rather be invited tho js."

Sekiei Ayakashi Mangatan Gets Web Anime Adaptation (Video)
The web manga Sekiei Ayakashi Mangatan will be getting it own anime adaptation. Unfortunately, as everywhere, Japanese companies don't think it's enough to invest is a random well-made manga and put it up national TV stations. The show will be a 'web anime'. The first episode can be seen below.
[gigya src="http://yj.shueisha.co.jp/web_comic/ayakashi/movie1.swf"]
If you're unfamiliar with the meaning of a web anime and/or web manga – they are not simply items published online instead of on TV and paper, they are officially licensed items which are published online. Weekly Young Jump has been publishing the original story by Takanori Kawai until it was transferred to the online version.
The action takes place in the historical Edo period of Japan. The protagonist is Sekiei Toriyama – an artist that draws incredible works, but only depicting fantasy beasts and beings. People might think him out of their world and his mind, but in reality he is drawing the creatures he meets on his adventures.

As incoming Secretary General, I would like to pay tribute to Sara Oldfield, my predecessor, who has helped to build an organization in BGCI that I believe provides a unique and invaluable service to its members and more generally to the plant conservation community worldwide. Like Sara, I believe that the most important issue we need to address as a professional community is the loss of plant diversity. We can do this by bringing our unique, knowledge, skills and resources to bear to prevent species extinctions and by sharing that knowledge with broader society. Over the following months, I will be working with the BGCI team to set out a 5-year Business Case and Plan which we will circulate in draft form to our members for their input. As a precursor to this, I will be in touch with as many of you as possible, to hear what you think about BGCI, how we might work better together and what we can do on your behalf. I am hugely excited by the challenge and opportunity that BGCI represents, and I very much look forward to working with you over the coming years.

2018 Mazda MX-5 Miata Dashboard Symbols
When you're cruising through the streets of Doral, Kendall, Hialeah, and Miami in your new 2018 Mazda MX-5 Miata, the last thing you want to see is one of those pesky dashboard symbols light up. What could possibly be going wrong with your roadster? It's bad enough knowing there's a problem, but it's even worse when you don't know what the problem is.
With our 2018 Mazda MX-5 Miata dashboard symbols guide, you'll never be left out of the know again. You can learn detailed explanations of the most important dashboard lights in your car and discover exactly what you need to do in response to each. Explore our light guide and become an expert on your Mazda MX-5 Miata.
Warning Lights
The warning lights are the ones you really need to be worried about. Not all the lights on your dash indicate problems, but these certainly do. You can usually spot them by their warm color, like yellow or red. Knowing the severity of each allows you to respond appropriately.
- Brake System: This light depicts an exclamation point inside a circle above the word BRAKE, and it indicates a fundamental flaw within your braking system. Get this checked out immediately. Just test the parking brake first. This light will illuminate if you've left it on.
- Charging System: Appearing as a car battery, this light indicates that your battery isn't charging properly. Get this fixed as soon as you can before you get stranded somewhere.
- High Engine Coolant Temperature: This light looks like a thermometer slightly submerged in some kind of liquid. When you see it, it means your engine is too hot. Pull over and let it cool.
- Power Steering Malfunction: If you see a light that looks like a steering wheel followed by an exclamation point, your power steering has a problem. Be careful, as steering is much harder without the power steering working properly.
- Check Engine: We all know the dreaded check engine light. In your Mazda MX-5 Miata, it looks like an old engine block, and it indicates anything from a misfire to an emissions failure.
Indicator Lights
While warning lights may be cause for concern, these lights function more to alert you as to which features you currently have engaged. To illustrate their non-threatening nature, Mazda has made them cool colors like blue and green rather than their harsh warning light counterparts.
- Headlight High-Beam: This light looks like a headlamp and should activate when you turn on your high beams.
- Sport Mode: If your Mazda MX-5 Miata has a SPORT mode, this light will turn on when the mode is activated. Fittingly, the light is simply the word "SPORT".
- High Beam Control System: This light is similar to the high-beam light except there is a letter "A" inside the headlamp. When you see this light, it means your automatic high beam system is working and activated.
- Cruise Control: When your cruise control is set, you'll see a light that depicts a speedometer with an arrow pointing at the needle's position.
Service Center at Ocean Mazda
After looking through our 2018 Mazda MX-5 Miata dashboard symbols guide, you should be an expert on your roadster. If you encounter any lights that indicate a serious problem, you'll need a service center in the Miami, Doral, Kendall, and Hialeah areas you can count on. That's where Ocean Mazda is happy to help. Contact us to schedule your service appointment today.

PRESS RELEASE: Metso Metrics is designed to provide global mining customers improved visibility and new insights into their equipment and processes with analytics, condition monitoring and predictive maintenance - all backed by specialist support from Metso.
The combination of advanced technology and expertise will bring Metso services closer to customers by improving collaboration, asset reliability and optimisation, the company said.
"Optimisation of existing assets and processes is now the key to drive productivity at mine sites. This is where digitalisation coupled with expert support really comes into play - connecting the right data with the right people," said Jani Puroranta, chief digital officer at Metso. "With innovative digital tools like Metso Metrics, minerals processing plants can shift from reactive-mode to being proactive and focused on continuous improvement."
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solution is built on the Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Cloud platform, powered by Microsoft Azure. It securely collects data from hundreds of sensors within Metso equipment all used to assess process performance, as well as predict component wear and failure. Metso performance teams analyse the data with the support of advanced machine-learning algorithms, to help customers optimise equipment operations and processes.
"Mining companies need more visibility to their processes, equipment performance and supply chain to improve safety and efficiency, reduce energy usage and, ultimately, inform better business decisions," said Blake Moret, chairman and CEO of Rockwell Automation. "This connected mine solution allows mining companies to derive measurable business value from their operations, allowing for better collaboration and increased productivity."
The new mining solution is the latest addition to Metso's digital services. It covers Metso's primary gyratory crushers, cone crushers and vibrating screens. In the future, other types of minerals-processing equipment, such as mills, will be addressed. The first generation of Metso Metrics tools were launched in 2017 to help optimise aggregates production in quarries and at contractor sites. Metso has also developed a similar solution for waste recycling equipment.

If piles of paperwork or stacks of books are making your home office look like a disorganised mess rather than a harmonious workspace, then perhaps it's time to get organised.
Maybe it's already quite tidy, but you're all too aware that you could make better use of the available space if you get rid of unused items and replace these with storage furniture that provides you with plenty of room for everything you need.
Organising your home office can be a daunting task, but if you break it down into smaller chunks, you should find the process much easier.
How to declutter your home office
It's a good idea to start by getting rid of what you no longer need. There's no need for pens that don't work or old books or magazines that you'll never read again, nor for obsolete floppy discs or that ornament you've never liked anyway. As designer William Morris once said, 'there should be no place in your house for items that are neither beautiful nor useful', while organisation guru Marie Kondo advises disposing of anything that doesn't 'spark joy'.
How to organise your paperwork at home
Once you've got rid of anything you definitely don't need or want, it's time to sort out your paperwork. There are two main reasons to do this. The first is aesthetics, as a haphazard collection of paperwork is not exactly easy on the eye. The other is practicality. Imagine you need to check a piece of paperwork, on a specific topic, that dates back several years. How do even begin to find that, if your paperwork is not in some way organised?
To help you get on top of your paperwork problems, it might be worth considering investing in a filing cabinet. These storage solutions are a great way to store all the necessary documents you acquire over the years. You can buy these in all sorts of sizes, shapes and styles - from small two-drawer wood-effect designst, right up to large, metal multi-drawer models. Some units even feature a series of narrow drawers rather than larger traditional filing sections.
If you are considering investing in a filing cabinet, make sure you choose a model that will provide you with enough space for everything – as well as some room to spare so you can add extra documentation over time. This will also mean that you can keep on top of the clutter from this point on, and avoid having to have a big clear-out again. A good way to maximise storage while minimising your use of floor space is to opt for a taller cabinet with multiple drawer compartments.
Aside from filing cabinets, there are other pieces of office storage furniture available too, so think carefully about what will best suit your requirements in the long term. You can purchase pedestal drawer units which have been designed to slot under your desk, wall shelving or office cupboards.
How to arrange your bookshelves
There are a number of ways in which to organise your book collection. The first step is to sort the books according to how you want to display them, and the following are some of the options you could consider. Once more, make sure you buy a bookshelf with plenty of space for your collection, plus at least a little to spare if you plan on adding to your collection.
6 ways to organise your bookshelf
- Arrange them alphabetically
If you have a large number of books, and you will need to recall the author or title when required, then an alphabetical system might work well for you. It's wise to choose between placing the books by author or title in this case. For example, bookshops and libraries will normally arrange their stock according to the author's surname.
- Split hardbacks and paperbacks
You could separate hard from paper covered books, as well as sort them according to size, so that similar sized books are stacked or lined up together for a smart, streamlined effect that's visually pleasing.
- Group books by size
Sorting your book collection by size can create a clean, uncluttered look, so you could aim to organise them like this to create even, straight lines at the top of each section.
- Sort by colour
This can look really satisfying and is ideal if having a stylish display is important to you. Placing books as per the colours of the rainbow can make for a highly attractive bookshelf.
- Stack your books by subject
Grouping together books that cover similar subject matter is a logical way to organise them, helping you find the book you need quickly and easily.
- Separate fiction and non-fiction
Do as a library would do and create separate sections for fiction and non-fiction titles. Alternatively, you could split classics from contemporary literature.
How to keep your desk tidy
Your work surface is the most important part of your office, as it's where you actually sit down, take stock and accomplish your goals. In fact, a clean, tidy and well-organised work area can help focus your mind and even improve your productivity levels, so it's a good idea to only keep the items that you really need or want close to hand.
Everyday items
Keep items you use the most closest to you, such as your notepad, calculator and a pad of Post It notes. Storage pots and desk drawers can provide the right storage for items such as pens and highlighters.
Built-in storage
If you're buying a new desk, it may be well worth choosing one with drawers already built-in. This will provide you with somewhere to keep your office essentials within easy reach, helping to keep your desk surface clear.
Desk drawers
Desk drawer units are often designed to slide underneath your existing desk, providing you with storage that takes up no additional floor area. Such furniture is available in various different sizes and styles, so you shouldn't struggle to find something that will perfectly complement your office setup.

FutureLab completely overhauled and modernised the Northland Pathology website. The original website (pictured) looked outdated, had too many menu items making it difficult to navigate around, and was not mobile-friendly, meaning that it was frustrating to try and use from a mobile phone.
The new website has been created using responsive web design technology, which means that no matter the size of the device used to access the website, each page will adapt accordingly. Responsive web design lets a website adapt to fit any type of screen, and gives visitors the best possible user experience when they use the NorPath website.
Since Northland Pathology have been providing quality community services in Whangarei and throughout Northland since the early 60s, their brand new website now reflects the same level of care, attention to detail and customer service that they are proud to provide. Visitors to the website can navigate to where they need to go easily, and early feedback has been positive.
FutureLab currently provides web support for Northland Pathology's parent company, Healthscope.

Tell your Members of Congress to reject and investigate the phony national emergency called by Trump!
Use this easy dialer tool to contact your members of Congress
Text RESIST to 50409 to send a fax to your members of Congress
Use FAXZERO to send a fax to your members of Congress
You can also call and fax these congressional leaders:
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) —202-224-2541 phone, (202) 224-2499 fax
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) —202-224-6542,(202)228-3027
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)--(202) 225-4965 phone, (202) 225-8259 fax
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA)- -(202) 225-2915 phone, (202) 225-2908
In all your communications with your members of Congress tell them you support Trump's impeachment!
In all your communications tell your members of Congress you are part of the Indivisible movement! They need to know we are a voting bloc and will determine their fates in future elections!
Issue: Trump declared a fake national emergency to get his way on his unnecessary and xenophobic border wall. Congress has an obligation to check Executive Branch abuses. House Dems have introduced a resolution to terminate the phony emergency, which will go to a House vote, likely on Tuesday. It is expected to then move to the Senate, where it may pass. Trump has said he would veto the resolution if approved by the Senate. We must tell our members of Congress (MoCs) to protect our democracy by passing the resolution, regardless of Trump's threat. Additionally, House Democrats should immediately schedule hearings and investigations into Trump's illegal power grab.
Script: My name is XXX and my address and zip code is XXX. I am a proud member of Palm Beach Indivisibles. For way too long, Congress has abdicated its responsibility to check presidential abuses of power that erode the system of checks and balances in our Constitution. Trump's fake national emergency is just another of his racist actions and a blow to our democracy. I expect you to fight back. I demand that Congress pass a resolution to terminate this phony emergency and that you investigate Trump's illegal power grab.

More than 400 former employees say Scott Pruitt's record as Oklahoma AG, ties to the fossil fuel industry and his climate denial raise serious questions.
Nearly 450 former employees of the Environmental Protection Agency sent a letter to the U.S. Senate on Monday denouncing President Donald Trump's pick to lead the agency, Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt.
The EPA alumni who signed the letter have served under Republican and Democratic administrations, and all raise concerns about Pruitt's fitness for the office. "Mr. Pruitt's record raises serious questions about whose interests he has served to date and whether he agrees with the longstanding tenets of U.S. environmental law," the letter said.
The letter echoes concerns raised in similar efforts by environmentalists, academics and environmental lawyers from Oklahoma about Pruitt's close ties to the fossil fuel and agriculture industries, as well as his record of fighting EPA regulation.
Senate Democrats have also questioned Pruitt's qualifications, sending him hundreds of additional questions after his confirmation hearing about how he would run the EPA and about his past work in Oklahoma. Unsatisfied with Pruitt's responses, they then twice boycotted the committee vote to advance his nomination. In response, Republicans on the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works last week suspended their voting rules to push through Pruitt's nomination to the full Senate. The date for Pruitt's final confirmation vote has not yet been set.
The letter was sent to Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ken.) and the rest of the Senate on Monday. According to McConnell's office, he has not yet released a statement responding to the letter.
"I'm certain the letter does not reflect the opinions of all former EPA employees," John Konkus, a spokesman for the Pruitt confirmation team, said in a statement. "If confirmed by the Senate, Mr. Pruitt looks forward to working with all 15,000 current EPA employees to better serve the American people."
This letter aims to explain "what EPA is required to do, how it works and why law and science matter to its mission," Eric Schaeffer, the letter organizer and a former director of the EPA's office of regulatory enforcement, told InsideClimate News.
"We don't think he's qualified," said Schaeffer, who resigned from his position in 2002 in protest against the George W. Bush administration's policies to weaken agency enforcement efforts. He is now executive director of the Environmental Integrity Project, an advocacy group.
As Oklahoma Attorney General, Pruitt has repeatedly sued the EPA over pollution regulations. He issued more than 50 press releases "celebrating" lawsuits filed against EPA regulations, according to the letter, but he hasn't issued any concerning action he's taken "to enforce environmental laws or actually reduce pollution." Also, former EPA staff accuse him of "going to disturbing lengths to advance the views and interests of business."
The letter cites one example of a critical letter to the EPA about its estimates of methane emissions from natural gas development that was drafted by Devon Energy. Pruitt had failed to disclose the energy company had written the letter.
He has also denied that humans are largely responsible for climate change, which alarms the former EPA officials. "We are most concerned about Mr. Pruitt's reluctance to accept and act on the strong scientific consensus on climate change," they wrote.
Current EPA staff are also concerned about Pruitt's appointment. Dozens of EPA employees joined activists and local politicians at an anti-Pruitt rally in downtown Chicago during their lunch break on Monday. At least three EPA staffers spoke at the rally, talking about their work and defending the agency's role in protecting the environment.

So I was using Google Images to get some visual references to build Toa Lesovikk's aqua sled on the LDD [y'know, like ya'do]
But something strange happened when I Googled 'Lesovik' [with one 'K', that's very important]; instead of the first Toa of Air, I got images of this woodland spirit;
I thought that was odd, but didn't think much of it since names in Bionicle tended to be taken from other cultures [Kopaka and Pohatu are Maori words for ice and Stone, respectively, and Tuyet means ice or snow in another language] So a Toa of Air [Green] happens to have taken his name from some old mythical woodland spirit who lives in lush greenery. Cool.
But then pout of curiosity, I scrolled down. And I found this:
This is what's known as a Lesovik Shambler, from the game 'Deathtrap'. Now I don't know about you, but when I first saw this, I immediately thought of Umarak the Hunter
The resemblance is frighteningly uncanny; jagged antlers; double-jointed legs; and a big weapon?
But the more rational side of my brain kicked in and thought that because the Shambler was a videogame character, of course the designers of said game would take liberties with the mythology in order to create a cooler looking character to play as. So I scrolled through GI and while I found an abundance of bearded old men in trees, the SECOND most common depiction of a Lesovik [also known as a 'Leshy'] happened to be this:
Antlered head, skull-like face, really creepy vibe, broad shoulders, goat-shaped legs, sometimes having feet with jagged toes, seen primarily in the woods, sometimes carrying a large weapon, AND touches of green throughout them?! Heck, NickonAquaMagna even described Umarak as looking like some kind of evil fairy or wood spirit, the kind children are led to believe will take them if they stray too far into the woods alone. Just like the second most common depiction of a Lesovik.
Frighteningly. Uncanny.
So yeah, Umarak the Hunter is based off the scarier depictions of the Slavic Leshy. Cool. But recall how their less common name is that of a Toa of Air's, minus that single 'K'?
This raises the question of why or how exactly a Bionicle Gen-1 secondary protagonist ends up having the same name as the mythical characters that visually inspired the main Bionicle Gen-2 antagonist. That's quite the coincidence, isn't it? A connection so obscure, yet somehow still so strong.
I had to know more. So I followed a link to Epika.org on a page about these mythical characters, and here's what I found:
The Lesovik or is a male woodland spirit in Slavic mythology who protects wild animals and forests. He is roughly analogous to the Woodwose of Western Europe and the Basajaun of the Basque Country. These are forest spirits who are green and lead travellers of their track.
A male Lesovik has the form of a man with a green beard and long shaggy hair. He has green eyes, cast no shadow and wears boots on the wrong foot. He is also regarded as the guardian of animals of the forest.
During Winter they would hide and remain calm. In Spring they can be heard howling and would fight with themselves causing storms and rain in hope to bring Autumn quickly and ruin Spring. However the rains and storms soon ended.
Each forest has its own family with a wife known as Lesovikha and children known as Leshonki. They lead travellers through the forest in the wrong direction until they were thoroughly lost or were stuck in a bog. The spirit would then disappear leaving the traveller in despair. To ward off the troublesome Lesovik it is advised to carry some bread to give as a gift or to wear one's clothes inside out until one reaches the end of the forest.
So that's the deal; they're little more than mischievous green-bearded woodland spirits who lead travelers astray and then ditch them. Nothing to do with Umarak, and even less to do with the Toa of Air. Dead end, right?
One part of the description in particular stood out to me;
cast no shadow
You'd think right there off would be the road sign that confirms 'dead end', since Umarak travels via shadows, and to reiterate, Lesoviks cast no shadows.
But also recall that 'Lesovikk' isn't the name of the G2 Hunter, but the G1 Toa, and also recall that the toa is a protagonist, and that beyond a frustratingly mischievous nature and tendency to bicker and cause storms, leshys aren't actually bad guys, just forces of nature.
But what if Umarak wasn't always a villain? What if he once fought on the side of good? What if something corrupted him and turned him into the dreaded hunter he now is?
What if, somehow; Toa Lesovick was turned into Umarak the Hunter?
Crazy, I know, but hear me out;
So a while ago I had a theory that Gen-2 was actually the continuation of Gen-1 and that somehow Velika the Great Being in Matoran Form had succeeded in whatever nefarious scheme he had in mind, that plan being to rebuild the world in his 'perfect' image, which is how we no longer have Matoran or Agori, but the otherwise unnamed 'Protectors', which can sustain themselves through reproduction, something fairly new to the Bionicle landscape.
My evidence for this were two things; the Mask of Time frequently but indirectly appearing in the early animations, and Ekimu's Mask of Creation [both Legendary Gen-1 Masks. Odd, now that I think about it]
For whatever reason, the Kanohi Vahi kept appearing as Easter eggs, as part of rocks, lava, and even in clouds;
Yet when we see Gen-2's mask of Time, its completely different, looking like the top half of a mask instead of the bottom half of an entirely different one
Gen-1 Kanohi Vahi Gen-2 Mask of Time
And then we have the Mask of Creation, never actually seen physically during Gen-1, but very interestingly described;
The mask was the most ornate anyone had ever seen – more than just a Kanohi, it was a true work of art. The metallic protodermis from which it was forged was arranged in intricate patterns and designs, each reflecting one of the many cultures that flourished in the universe. The eye slits were angular and pointed, giving him an air of both wisdom and a vague sense of menace.
While I can't attest to every point, two factors match up almost perfectly;
arranged in intricate patterns and designs, each reflecting one of the many cultures that flourished in the universe
Which lines up with the 3D symbols on Ekimu's Mask, and to my knowledge is the only mask aside from the mask of Control which is like that [all other symbols or designs are just painted on the masks when there at all] And then there are the eyes;
The eye slits were angular and pointed, giving him an air of both wisdom and a vague sense of menace
I'm not sure I would call them 'slits', but that aside, could this have described the eyeholes any better?? And on top of that, the way the mask is described, it almost makes one think of a crown, and no mask is more crown-like than Ekimu's. There's almost no doubt now that both versions of this mask match up perfectly
So we have a Legendary Mask that keeps coming up in easter eggs but never actually physically; a Legendary Mask worn by someone other than Artahka; and a toa that has somehow become a terrifying shadow hunter [or, if you will, a literal 'Dark Hunter']
So there are loose connections; but what does this all mean??
At this point, given how Gen-2 was unceremoniously axed before they could deliver the promised third year, we can only speculate, but given all the evidence [including what we had at the cliffhanger of Gen-1] here's what I think happened;
Velika was troubled by the state of the world and all that had happened, so his plan was to reinvent it entirely to a more 'stable' setting where the threat of world annihilation would never come to pass as it had in the Shattering. As a distraction, he framed Toa Lesovick for the murders of both Karzahni and Tren Krom [both figures who could have opposed him and his plan] while he went to work. [Somehow] Artahka [and possibly the Melding Universe Makuta Teridax] managed to hide away the Toa Nuva out in space among the stars, out of Velika's reach
Meanwhile, Velika obtained the Kanohi Vahi [the Mask of Time], though not before Lesovikk got to it first, and [Velika] managed to get it and used it to completely rewrite the entire world's history so that not only did the Shattering never happen, but Mata Nui never existed, nor anything that had ever lived inside his body. He created a veritable utopia, but unfortunately, there were somethings he could not change;
Somehow [maybe because because Lesovik had found the Vahi first and Artahka and AU Teridax were present-?] they were also unaffected by the timeline rewrite, so -using the Kanohi Ignika, Velika re-purposed them to suit his needs, Artahka becoming Ekimu the Mask Maker and unable to access the full extent of his mask, Makuta now Ekimu's assistant or 'brother' and with a different mask altogether, and Lesovikk into a loathsome, frightening creature, robbed of both his toa and mask powers [why Velika seems to hate on Lesovikk so much, I don't know]
The Toa Nuva menawhile had managed to be out of range of the Vahi's affects, but were still vulnerable while in stasis. Rather than eliminating them, Velika decided to re-purpose them as well, making them warriors on call who would defend the people of this new Spherous Magna from who or whatever threatened it. 'Ekimu' was even intended as a backup '7th Toa of Light' should the need for one ever arise.
And all of them got their memories blocked so they wouldn't try and return things back to the way they were… however… Makuta remembered.
He didn't fully remember, but he knew that this world and everyone on it wasn't how it was all supposed to be, and he knew that simply opposing the forces that maintained this world head-on wouldn't work; he needed more power. But because he was never an adept mask-maker, when he tried crafting 'the Mask of Ultimate Power' it was imperfect, and the raw power drove him insane, forcing Ekimu to banish him to the shadowworld [or whatever its called]
From within, Makuta was eventually able to call upon the wandering Lesovikk, now called 'Umarak', and playing on Umarak's own suppressed memories to convince him to do his dirty work for him, and [somehow] was able to imbue him with shadow travel powers.
However, Velika's own security system kicked in and the Toa [nigh Nuva] arrived from the stars, no memory of their past and open to suggestion from whomever was willing to tell them.
So what about the Masks of Time and Creation? Velika couldn't alter the Mask of Creation as the Ignika and Vahi had no affect on it and he dared not destroy it as he feared it's raw powers unleashed would have dire consequences -and the same thing with the Vahi and Ignika, so he left it with Ekimu and made sure he would make only masks with it, then kept the Ignika for himself, leaving the vahi with Ekimu as Velika had no use for it and was certain no one would figure out how to use it's true powers [thus far in Gen-2, no one has figured it out yet] However, the Vahi did indeed change, altering itself physically completely, almost as a sign that things had changed in the grand scheme.
But its a Mask of Time, and memories are a part of time, and memories have a way of… enduring. Although it's shape was changed, the memory of the old timeline remained within, faintly projecting it's old self across the landscapes. maybe Makuta saw these and they jogged his memory, or maybe he'd actually tried to do nthe Mask in secret and THAT jogged his memory. Who knows?
But the point is this; gen-2 may be an entirely rewritten timeline, but its not a different one; its the same Gen-1 universe we all grew up with, but now changed beyond recognition. Changed into a safe, vanilla world where Toa are few and have no true independence, and where villains are docile and easily defeated. And those that survived being erased? they're changed, changed beyond recognition.
Gen-2 was truly just the beginning in it's entirety, but not of a new continuity, no; of a new era in the same continuity we've been following since 2001.
So, this raises the question…
What now?
UPDATE: I'd previously posted this elaborate and loosely strung together theory on y DeviantArt account, and a commentor had ths interesting bit of info to pass on:
Also Umarak is a play of the Slavic (Serbian) words "U mrak" meaning "In the darkness" or "In the shadows". Literally his name would be "In the shadows, the Hunter". Also Leshy may have inspired the Slavic (Serbian) word "Leš" meaning "corpse".
Velika means "Large" in Slavic (Serbian)…which fits with the Great Being aspect.
I have checked and while the translations aren't 100% exact, they do match up as he said. This makes me wonder if perhaps they did have greater plans for Toa Lesovikk in Gen-1 in relation to his name, as the translation of Velika's name would imply for that character.
I do find it even more odd in that context then that Umarak [who would later be the big bad of Gen-2 [physically]] would have an appearance that more matches up with the translation of a name of an otherwise entirely unrelated character.
Again, this is all theory, but the relations and connections despite being different continuities are too startling for me to ignore. My idea [TL:DR. too late] is that Velika has created a 'Flashpoint' timeline [based off the alternate DC universe accidentally created by the Flash] in which rather than a new continuity being created, the original [sometimes 'core'] timeline has been altered into an entirely different history, something I believe a Great Being to be capable of with such items as the Kanohis Ignika and Vahi.
Not to mention, think of how this radically changes Gen-2, not just how WE see it, but also how the characters within see it and how it will function from a story perspective; what if the Toa learn of the old timeline and their old lives and realize they're pawns of some selfish god-figure? And think about the sheer implications of one being wiping the entire Matoran Universe out of existence! Mata-Nui; GONE. Makuta Teridax; GONE. Vakama; Jaller; Metru Nui; the Bohrok; the Shadowed One, Roodaka; ALL GONE and never were. How terrifying does this make Velika, just KNOWING some being is out there who did all this?! [Plus, the Toa have no secondary mask powers]
And what if they want their old timeline back? Suddenly the stakes are elevated to basically a few warriors declaring war on a GOD [self-imposed false god, if it makes anyone feel more comfortable] How does one even fight a GOD?!
But also think about the ethical situation of it all; sure, Velika wiped out not only whole thousands of years of history, but also almost every being who existed in that time; but as a result of his actions, entirely new beings with THEIR own thousands of years of history, as well. Plus, one of his sole motivations for doing all this was because things had gone so terribly wrong for Spherous Magna in the first place; the planet shattered in three; the machine built to fix it was depowered and crashed from within; hundreds of beings from inside that robot put the lessers and more innocent through nightmarish hells; and the Bara Magnans had to endure what was essentially a desert wasteland THE ENTIRE TIME.
In that light, what Velika prevented all of that horror from having ever taken place at all! No shattering, no crashed repair units, no nightmarish villains inflicting hell upon the innocent, no desert wastelands; by comparison, the Gen-2 world is a peaceful haven that can't even BEGIN to imagine the horrors of Gen-1!
So does that make it right to reset everything to the way they used to be? Is it right to take back all those erased from existence, even if that means erasing what there is now from existence? Should one villain's actions justify the punishment or destruction of millions of neutrals?
But what even if it turns out the Toa arent reinventions of the originals, but entirely new beings modeled after the original Toa Nuva?
Just… just THINK of all the ethical and philosophical material this theory and possibility provides!
Sorry if this theory isn't too well put together or even thought out, but t still gives me chills [in all the right ways] and I just had to share it

With Victoria & Abdul now playing in limited release and expanding into more cities this weekend, I had the chance to sit down with Eddie Izzard for an exclusive video interview. Directed by Stephen Frears (The Queen, High Fidelity) and scripted by Lee Hall (Billy Elliot), the film is based on journalist Shrabani Basu's book Victoria & Abdul: The True Story of the Queen's Closest Confidant. The film tells the true story of Queen Victoria's (Judi Dench) latter years, when she befriended a young clerk from India named Abdul Karim (Ali Fazal) and subsequently struck an unlikely and deep friendship that was looked down upon by her contemporaries. The film also stars Adeel Akhtar, Simon Callow, Michael Gambon, Ruth McCabe, Tim Pigott-Smith, Julian Wadham, Olivia Williams, and Fenella Woolgar.
During the interview, Eddie Izzard talks about how the film is a crowd-pleaser, what the film is about and who he plays, what it was like working with Stephen Frears, how he first heard about the true story, and getting to voice Voldemort in The LEGO Batman Movie. Check out what he had to say in the player above; below is exactly what we talked about and the official synopsis.
- Talks about getting to voice Voldermort in The LEGO Batman Movie.
- How the film is a big crowd pleaser. How the comedy takes you in.
- Talks about who he plays and story of the film.
- Talks about working with Stephen Frears.
- When did he first hear about this crazy true story.
Here's the official synopsis for Victoria & Abdul:
Academy Award winner Judi Dench ("Shakespeare in Love") reunites with Academy Award-nominated director Stephen Frears ("The Queen"), and returns to the role of Queen Victoria, in "Victoria & Abdul." The screenplay of "Victoria & Abdul" is by Academy Award nominee Lee Hall ("Billy Elliot"), based on journalist Shrabani Basu's book Victoria & Abdul: The True Story of the Queen's Closest Confidant., which brought to light the long-hidden history of Victoria and Abdul from their own diaries and journals. The extraordinary true story of the amazing and unlikely friendship between Queen Victoria (Judi Dench) and a young clerk, Abdul Karim (Ali Fazal), who becomes her teacher, her spiritual advisor, and her devoted friend. In 1887, Abdul travels from India to present a ceremonial medal as part of the Queen's Golden Jubilee but surprisingly finds favor with the elderly Queen. The unprecedented and unlikely relationship causes a battle royale within the royal household, pitting the Queen against court and family. "Victoria & Abdul" humorously explores questions of race, religion, power, and the farce of Empire through the prism of a highly unusual and deeply moving friendship.

Me, 1981, New Orleans
There are so many options for little girl's clothes that I get overwhelmed!! Here is a picture of me from my first birthday party. Even though it will be November I think a sweet embroidered dress is the way to go right? Since we can't find mine I will make sure to preserve hers!
I'm guessing my dress was Feltman Brothers or Auraluz so let's start with those.
Possibly add a fancy monogram?
I actually prefer her in Blue but invitations are pink!
Whew. What is your favorite?!

How do bias, hate and extremism form? How we can counter them? And what can we learn from extremist groups?
Authors Bob Pearson and Haroon Ullah will visit the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications Nov. 7 to explore these questions and discuss their recent book, "Countering Hate." The talk, to be held at 7 p.m. in the Miron Special Events Room, 303 Newhouse 1, is free and open to the public.
Pearson, a senior adviser for W2O Group, is a frequent speaker and blogger on digital marketing. He has taught at Syracuse University and the University of Texas at Austin, and guest lectured at the State Department. His other books include, "Pre-Commerce: How Companies and Customers are Transforming Business Together" and "Storytizing: What's Next After Advertising," based on key findings from W2O's work with innovative companies and individuals.
Ullah, chief strategy officer for the U.S. Agency for Global Media, was most recently with the U.S. Department of State, where he worked on digital innovation, public diplomacy and public/private partnerships as part of Secretary Rex Tillerson's policy planning staff.
He has been an adviser to three secretaries of state, traveled with Ambassador Richard Holbrooke's Afghanistan/Pakistan team and was director of the Community Engagement Office at the U.S. embassy in Pakistan, the first-ever public diplomacy effort to counter violent extremism office at any American embassy.
Ullah won a Peabody Award for his animated television series, "Burka Avenger." In addition to "Countering Hate," his books include "Vying for Allah's Vote: Understanding Islamic Parties, Political Violence and Extremism in Pakistan," "The Bargain from the Bazaar: A Family's Day of Reckoning in Lahore" and "Digital World War: Islamists, Extremists and the Fight for Cyber Supremacy," which focuses on new uses for technology, transmedia and digital content.

Five Yemeni children were killed in an attack on their home in flashpoint Hodeida province, the UN and medics said, months into a ceasefire agreed by the government and rebels.
A United Nations mission tasked with overseeing a truce in war-torn Yemen came under fire but was unharmed in the flashpoint city of Hodeida Thursday, the UN said.
The UN Security Council voted on Wednesday to authorize a monitoring mission for the ceasefire in Yemen's key port city of Hodeida for an initial period of six months.
A UN-led truce monitoring team including members of Yemen's warring sides held its first meeting in the flashpoint city of Hodeida on Wednesday, a pro-government official told AFP.
At least 149 people including civilians have been killed in 24 hours of clashes between government loyalists and rebels in Yemen's flashpoint city of Hodeida, medics and military sources said Monday.
At least 61 combatants have been killed in clashes in Yemen's flashpoint Hodeida, medics and a military source said Sunday, and dozens of wounded taken to hospitals outside the city.
The UN's Yemen envoy Martin Griffiths has met the country's Houthi rebels in a push for new peace talks, as fighting continued around Hodeida.
The UN warned Friday that shelling and air strikes in Yemen's Hodeida province have targeted humanitarian workers and infrastructure, threatening its ability to feed 3.5 million "very hungry people."
Doctors and medics in two hospitals in Hodeida province said 50 people have been killed in the past 24 hours, seven of them pro-government fighters.
Clashes and air strikes have left 84 people dead around Yemen's Red Sea port city of Hodeida since the collapse of UN-brokered peace talks, hospital sources said Sunday.
Multiple military sources reported the government alliance attempted on Friday to close in on rebel-held Hodeida.
Yemeni government forces backed by a Saudi-led coalition have been conducting an offensive to capture Hodeida from Iran-backed Houthi rebels.

National Elections – 2013
National Elections – 2013
Elections for national and provincial assemblies were held in Pakistan on May 11, 2013. Ahmadis, once again, could not participate in them; they neither could stand as candidates nor the rules enabled them to cast votes. There is a background to this gross deprivation, spread over 30 years.
Ahmadis regularly participated in national elections until 1985 when General Zia introduced separate electorate. The new rules required those who claimed to be Muslim to sign a certificate of faith denouncing the founder of Ahmadiyya Jamaat. As this compelled Ahmadis to call themselves non-Muslim, they were effectively excluded from the voting process.
This situation remained in place till 2002 when General Musharaf announced a return to the joint electorate. However, yielding readily to the demand of anti-Ahmadi elements, he issued Chief Executive's Order No. 15 on June 17, 2002 which declared that Ahmadis' status will remain unchanged and those who sought registration as Muslim will have to sign on the voters list a declaration concerning belief about the absolute and unqualified finality of the Prophethood of Muhammad (peace be on him), and those who refused to sign the certificate were to be deleted from the joint electoral rolls and added to a supplementary list of voters in the same electoral area as non-Muslims. So that was the de-facto end of the resurrected Joint Electorate system. Human rights activists noted this and had their condemnations published in the national English press.
Five years later, at the occasion of next elections, the Election Commission ordered in a letter dated 17 January 2007 that "the competent authority has been pleased to decide that separate supplementary lists of draft electoral rolls for Ahmadis/Qadianis for the electoral areas concerned, wherever they are registered, may be prepared and published…." The Election Commission issued election forms accordingly to cater for this policy. The forms included a warning that a violation in filling them will be punished with imprisonment. That places Pakistan squarely in the company of 17th century Europe. Joint Electorate thus was a hoax played for the international community that insisted on equality for all citizens of Pakistan.
It is relevant that the given definition of a Muslim in this procedure, as adopted from Article 260(3) of the constitution is only Pakistan-specific and, leave alone the original sources, is not to be found anywhere else in 1400 years since the birth of Islam. This is true regarding the definition of Non-Muslim too given in Art 260(3)b. The rulers, politicians and mullas have led the state of Pakistan into uncharted waters, in the middle of night.
The procedure and orders of the Musharraf era have remained essentially unchanged for Ahmadis.
In December 2007, Ahmadiyya community wrote letters to the Acting Prime Minister, the President and the Chief Election Commissioner protesting the rules discriminatory against Ahmadis and seeking an interview. No one responded except the Chief Election Commissioner's office which said, "the Hon'ble Chief Election Commissioner is awfully busy now-a-days."
Mr. Kunwar Idress, a prominent Ahmadi from Karachi, feeling tormented by his right of vote in jeopardy, challenged this law in 2007 in the highest court. His petition to the Chief Justice came up for hearing 40 months later. This was followed by a nightmare of adjournments. The petition was not heard on 20 or more dates for variety of reasons, the main reason being the absence of the Attorney General and three amice curiae who were arbitrarily appointed by the court. Later the case was shifted to its principal seat at Islamabad. Even there the Attorney General failed to turn up on three given dates, while the complainant, nearly 80 years old, had to fly there from Karachi. Appalled, he voluntarily disengaged himself from the notice of the apex court in March 2013.
Sometimes earlier the Election Commission of Pakistan had started preparing for Election 2013. It issued a set of instructions for its registration staff in 2011 for preparing verified electoral lists. In this booklet, Instruction Nr. 12 directed the staff: "Ahmadis' votes will be entered separately in the initial Electoral List, and at the top of that register the notation "For Ahmadis" will be entered." (Translation from vernacular) This meant that rules and procedures as already in force would remain the same as before for Ahmadis.
In September 2012 a delegation of Ahmadis met Chief Election Commissioner and other officials, but the rules that make the Ahmadis choose between their faith and their right to vote still remains in force. Disappointed, they had no option but boycott the elections.
As Ahmadis refused to apply to be registered on the separate voters' list, the Election Commission found it convenient to publish a big list of Ahmadis from the NADRA records, complete with latest addresses etc. This has exposed Ahmadis to great risk as anyone can obtain these rolls. There is no shortage of target-killers who can be rented by blood-thirsty mullas who insist that Ahmadis are Wajibul Qatl (must be killed).
The current situation reflects poorly on Pakistani political establishment in that none of them uttered a word on this gross violation of Ahmaids' human and political rights. Eventually, what they gladly tolerated for Ahmadis came to haunt them. Tyranny and injustice tend to spread, if not nipped in the bud.
The elections were held and governments formed in the national and provincial capitals, but there was a public hue and cry about the fairness and validity of the elections. Below we produce only a few headlines from the national press:
- 49 polling stations show over 100% turn out.
The daily The News; Lahore, May 14, 2013
- In Bajaur, only 2800 women out of a registered 130,000 plus – a mere three percent – were able to cast their votes because religious/political parties and tribal elders flouted earlier commitments to the contrary and barred women from voting.
Editorial in the daily Dawn; Lahore, May 19, 2013
- Bloody ballot: 110 killed in April
The daily The Express Tribune; Lahore, May 9, 2013
- Five parties boycott elections in Karachi
The daily Dawn; Lahore, May 12, 2013
- Imran to issue whitepaper on rigging
The daily The Nation; Lahore, May 13, 2013
- Islamabad: Voting turnout countrywide 53.4 percent
The daily Ausaf; Lahore, May 16, 2013
- An opinion on a prestigious blog stated: The biggest pre-election challenge was to hold free, fair and transparent elections. In this the caretaker governments, the Election Commission and by extension the judiciary have failed utterly. Consensus is emerging that this could be the most flawed election in our history.
Humayun Gauhar in, http://opinion-maker.org/2013/05/Wisdom-corridor/
The controversy about the legitimacy of election results remains alive and disturbing for many, eight months later.
Ahmadis face the same problem in local government elections as at the national level. Rules and procedures are specifically designed to deter Ahmadis to stand or vote in these elections. Hence for decades, Ahmadis had no representation even in the local council of Rabwah where they are 95% of the population. Various governments and election commissions have been requested in the past to remove these hurdles, but to no avail.
Rather than facilitating Ahmadis' voting rights, the Punjab government found the existing forms not prohibitive enough to bar Ahmadis' participation. Rana Sanaullah's office (PML-N provincial law minister) explained the inability of the provincial government to hold these elections on the grounds that appropriate forms are not available.
It is well known that superior judiciary is very critical of the central and provincial governments for unduly postponing the local government elections.
According to press reports, the existing nomination forms in the Punjab do not carry the affidavit concerning Khatme Nabuwwat. Maulana Fazlur Rahman (JUI) complained to the Chief Minister about this over the phone. The Jamaat Islami, ever eager to cash a cheque over religion, issued a statement calling the omission 'alarming' and an attempt to turn Pakistan into a secular state. Accordingly the Punjab government, to no one's surprise, issued an 'urgent' letter to all Returning Officers to ensure that affidavit regarding the End of Prophethood was signed. (The daily Jang; Lahore, November 11, 2013)
One is reminded of a similar letter issued by the Punjab government in 2003, in response to a mulla Faqir Mohammad's threat. It was accorded 'Top Priority – Registered' and addressed to Faisalabad district administration about three schools run by Ahmadis. The title of the government letter was: Letter received from Maulvi Faqir Muhammad.
It is also learnt that mulla Khadim Hussain Rizvi, the head of the Khatme Nabuwwat faction in the Punjab, called on Rana Sanaullah and urged him to do more on the anti-Ahmadi front. The Rana reassured him and asked him to wait till after Muharram.
Then happened the sectarian clash in Rawalpindi.
The daily The Express Tribune, Lahore took due notice of the deprivation of political rights of Ahmadis and wrote the following in its editorial on April 24, 2013:
The situation cannot be allowed to continue. The Ahmadis need to be mainstreamed; no organ or individual has the right to determine the faith of a citizen. Legislative measures are required to undo legal discrimination, backed by a programme to eradicate hate directed against them. The task will not be an easy one, but justice needs to be done without further delay, so the long suffering of a badly wronged community can be ended and their most basic rights – including that to vote – restored to them without further delay, so that all citizens can truly be equals in our society.

The introduction of a national curriculum has failed to arrest England's tumble down the international primary maths performance tables.
The latest assessment of how our nine-year-olds compare with their contemporaries in 25 other countries makes fairly dismal reading and will harden the Government's resolve to improve numeracy standards in primary schools.
Statistics drawn from the Third International Maths and Science Study show that the performance of Years 4 and 5 children in England was significantly lower than those of pupils in about half the countries which took part in the 1995 testing exercise.
English children did relatively well in two mathematical areas - Data representation, analysis and probability and Geometry - where they finished above the international mean. But they have a shakier grasp of Whole numbers, Fractions and proportionality, Measurement, estimation, and number sense and Patterns, relations and functions.
The authors of the report, Sue Harris, Wendy Keys and Cres Fernandes, of the National Foundation for Educational Research, say that the relative position of England seems to have deteriorated slightly compared with the United States, Canada and Ireland.
But, predictably, it is the vastly superior performance of the Pacific Rim countries that is the most striking finding of the TIMSS study. Children in Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and Singapore all scored significantly higher marks than the English. In fact, Thailand was the only Asian country surveyed that was on a par with England.
Only 7 per cent of the English children were placed in the top 10 per cent internationally, compared with 39 per cent of Singapore's children and 23 per cent of the Japanese. Furthermore, only 39 per cent of the Year 5 English children finished in the top half, against 82 per cent in Singapore and 79 per cent in Japan.
European countries such as the Netherlands and Hungary also did significantly better in these categories - 13 per cent of Dutch youngsters and 11 per cent of Hungarians were included in the top 10 per cent, and 72 per cent of the Dutch pupils were placed in the top half. The Hungarian figure was 56 per cent.
The survey also shows that Austrian nine-year-olds have a substantial lead over the English. Greece, Iceland and Portugal recorded even lower marks than we did, however, as did the Year 4 Norwegian pupils, but they start school two years after English children.
Comparison of the English-speaking countries' scores also casts England in a poor light. Australia, Canada, Ireland and the United States all achieved significantly higher marks. The Scots were on the same level and only New Zealand did significantly worse in Year 4. These findings are worrying because a 1991 study carried out by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Progress suggested that the Canadians, Irish and Americans were all performing at the same level as the English.
The lower-than-average increase in English children's scores between Years 4 and 5 is another of the study's disturbing findings.
But the English children's performance in the Geometry section of the maths test produced one narrow beam of sunshine. In this one area the English children outscored, albeit narrowly, both the Singaporeans and the Japanese.
Moreover, as the study's authors point out: "These (English Geometry) results represent the highest mean scores for pupils in both Years 4 and 5 across all of the mathematics categories."
Nevertheless, that will be seen as scant consolation for the relatively poor overall performance.


text: Highlights the Future of Logistics 16/05/2017 - 13:31:00 The Agility Emerging Markets Logistics Index shows that Turkey, by ranking up on the list compared to previous year's index and taking its place as the 9th country, has a good potential to grow as a logistics market. | More Tweetle Etiketler: agility future of logistics logistics report By a survey more than 800 logistics and supply chain industry proffessionls, The Agility Emerging Markets Logistics Index once more unveils emerging markets' logistics facts and potential. The Agility Emerging Markets Logistics Index used economic and trade data, social indicators and transport development to rank 50 emerging markets countries for their potential as logistics markets. The Index's annual survey shows the regions, countries and industries where global logistics executives see the greatest growth potential and risk in the year ahead. 2017 Index Highligts: China, the world's second-largest economy, remains the world's leading emerging market. In the survey, supply chain executives identified the direction of China's economy as the factor most likely to drive global economic and trade growth in 2017. Robust growth and long-anticipated tax and economic reform pushed India to No. 2 in the Index and impressed the logistics executives surveyed. Even so, India's surprise decision to remove high-denomination bank notes from circulation and encourage cashless payments could be jarring for the economy in 2017. UAE, No. 3 overall in the Index, again topped the rankings in the areas of business climate, and in logistics infrastructure and transport connections. Gulf countries UAE, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait claimed six of the top 10 spots for best business conditions. Iran climbed eight spots in the Index rankings to 18th overall and leaped to 9th from No. 15 among emerging markets countries that executives view as having the most potential to grow as logistics markets. Iran's gains were the biggest of any country in the Index or the survey. Africa's biggest economies – Nigeria and South Africa – were among the countries that fell most sharply in the Index. Smaller African markets – Uganda, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Kenya – improved their rankings in 2017. Brazil held its No. 7 Index ranking despite a painful recession and the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff. In the survey, logistics executives again picked Brazil as the market with the most logistics potential after India and China. Bahrain jumped five spots in the latest Index to No. 23 after years of social unrest that hurt its ranking. Argentina, attempting to end years of international economic isolation, climbed three places to No. 28. Kazakhstan shot up four spots to No. 14, largely on the strength of business conditions that ranked behind only those of four Gulf countries – UAE, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain. Turkey weathered the effects of an attempted coup, moving from 10th to No. 9 in the latest Index. Russia fell from 9th to No. 10, a modest slip suggesting that has contained the fallout from Western economic sanctions and low energy prices. *The countries which have the most potential to grow as logistics markets in the next 5 years: Survey respondents were asked to rank the emerging markets they viewed as the most likely to become major logistics markets over the next five years. Survey respondents indicated their belief that India remains the emerging logistics market with the most potential for LSPs. The top 10 countries are; India, China, Brazil, Vietnam, Indonesia, UAE, Mexico, Russia, Iran and Turkey. Here are the country facts: *Top Supply Chain Risks By Region Latin America: Corruption, Middle East and Nort Africa: Terrorism, Sub-Saharan Africa: Poor Infrastructure, Asia-Pasific: Economic Shocks *Best and worst counties with logistics, infrastructure and transport connections Best countries: UAE, Malaysia, China,Chile, Saudi Arabia Worst countries: Angola, Myanmar, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Venezuela *Most and least potential for logistics industry investments Most potential: India, China, Brazil, Vietnam, Indonesia Least potential:Syria, Libya, Iraq, Ethiopia, Bangladesh TOP 20 Countries at The Agility Emerging Markets Logistics Index Ranking Country 2017 Index 2016 Index Change in Ranking 1 China 7.88 8.00 - 2 India 7.14 6.83 up 1 3 UAE 7.07 7.02 down -1 4 Malaysia 6.66 6.71 - 5 Saudi Arabia 6.48 6.67 - 6 Indonesia 6.41 6.50 - 7 Brazil 6.23 6.46 - 8 Mexico 6.15 6.25 - 9 Turkey 6.09 6.05 up 1 10 Russia 6.09 6.23 down 1 11 Chile 5.88 6.01 - 12 Qatar 5.78 5.88 - 13 Oman 5.62 5.63 up 1 14 Kazakhstan 5.60 5.34 up 4 15 Thailand 5.53 5.77 down 2 16 Philippines 5.42 5.48 - 17 Pakistan 5.39 5.21 up 3 18 Iran 5.35 4.97 up 8 19 Vietnam 5.33 5.25 - 20 Egypt 5.29 5.16 up 2 SEKTÖRLER VE LOJİSTİK Otomotiv Enerji Gıda Akaryakıt Tekstil Kimya İnşaat Lastik İhracat Brisa tedarik zincirini yeni… Pirelli lojistik süreçlerini izlenebilir… Delphi Technologies yılda 12.000… Assan Hanil lojistik süreçlerini… Toyota'nın kapılarından her gün… TürkTraktör'ün başarı hikayesi lojistikten… Lojistik rüzgarı Çelik ihracatçısı dökme yükler… Siemens lojistikte ciddi hizmet… Akenerji riskleri anahtar teslim… TANAP için 2015'te 440.500… Rüzgardaki büyüme lojistikte çıtayı… McDonald's lojistiği uzman ellere… Düzey Pazarlama yılda 300… Namet çözüm ortaklarını iki… Muratbey Peynirleri 4 kıtaya… Godiva lojistikte sürdürülebilirlik istiyor Feast soğuk zincirdeki tecrübesine… BP yılda 1 milyon… PETDER ADR sürecine liderlik… Castrol 3,5 yıldır sıfır… BP'nin beklentisi sıfır kaza… SHELL, Sektörünün En Değerli… Starpet başarıyı lojistikle pompalıyor Perakendede envanter ve envanterin… Boyner lojistik vitrinini yeniliyor Colin's Uzakdoğu'ya denizden ulaşıyor Hazır giyimciler lojistik maliyetleri… LC Waikiki lojistik yatırımlarıyla… İnci Deri lojistik vitrinini… Tehlikeli madde taşımacılığını akaryakıt… 14 bin araca ADR… Arkem yılda 300 bin… Beta Kimya, 5 ayrı… Batu International Logistics'ten entegre… ADR'ye uymak mı?

Usually, when I get a call from a potential client, they are calling for an estimate. These people I usually categorize as warm or hot prospects. If they don't tell me up front, I ask, where they got my name from? Their answer tells me alot. If they got my name from a past client, I feel like I have a good shot at getting the job. I come out to the job and give an estimation of my labor cost and the rolls needed to complete the job. Almost always, things work out according to my estimate.
On the other hand, if a potential client states that he, or she, is taking bids for a particular job, all red flags go up because I don't compete with other paperhangers on price. I always feel like I'm doing a "dummy bid". I will do dummy bids, but at a cost. Expect alot of questions from me. My time and cost of gas prohibits me from running around town just to satisfy somebody's curiosity. If my name and reputation aren't enough, then I bow out. Of course, this happens alot, but, I am not aware they are taking bids. I do get alot of these jobs. Just the nature of business. Fair. Just don't tell me your taking bids FYI..lol

It had been ages since I picked up anything other than the odd refill from MAC Cosmetics. They were the band who got me into makeup. Since I was 18 I've been collecting their products. In recent years the quality has changed and so I only regularly use a few things from MAC Cosmetics.
I'm pleased to say that MAC Cosmetics have been upping their game recently. More MAC Cosmetics products have become solid favourites in my makeup collection again.

MAC Cosmetics Prep & Prime Fix+ Spray
MAC Cosmetics Fix+ is a hydrating spray which helps set makeup. I prefer a stronger hold spray but use Fix+ to blend with. It's lightweight enough to work with whilst adding some extra staying power to the makeup you're blending.
Prep & Prime Natural Radiance Base
Also I picked up the Natural Radiance base in the paler colour of the two. I tried this a few months back in the MAC Cosmetics store and loved it. It creates a dewy look and gives a subtle glow from under foundation, whilst working as a primer.
Studio Fix Concealer
Studio fix concealer is my go-to cream highlighter. I use a darker shade of the same product for cream contouring.
A New Brush
Another MAC brush has been added to my contouring arsenal. The 187 duo fibre stippling brush. Made with both goat and synthetic fibres this brush can be used with powder and creams. I prefer to use it for creams and make use of the long bristles for cream contouring.
MAC Lipsticks
Lastly I can never resist a MAC lipstick (or two!). I love nudes so bought Fresh Brew, which I first came across in the 2009 Hello Kitty range. I also got the latest Viva Glam lipstick. Pamela Anderson's Shade. This is a shimmery pink warm-toned nude which is highly wearable.

UD's Gavrilovic selected Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week
University of Dayton Flyers freshman center Alex Gavrilovic has been named Rookie of the Week in the Atlantic 10 Conference for his performance in leading the team to a 61-40 win over Florida International on Saturday.
Gavrilovic's contribution to win #8 for Dayton was huge as the top four players on the team's front court depth chart was limited or unable to play. The starting frontcourt for the Flyers frontcourt, Josh Benson, Matt Kavanaugh and Chris Johnson was limited to a total of 38 out of a possible 120 minutes due to foul trouble (Benson and Kavanaugh and injury (Johnson). In addition, senior Luke Fabrizius was not dressed out because of a rib injury.
Gavrilovic came off the bench to lead UD to its come-from-behind win. He returned to action after missing the last three games with a sprained ankle, and came through with career-highs in scoring (14), rebounding (6) and minutes (22).

Medication Errors
What is a medication error?
One of the most common claims for medical malpractice is medication errors. It has been estimated as the third leading cause of death in the United States. Since the process to prescribe and give medications to patients is complex and often includes many steps, there are many ways where patients can suffer due to medication error.
Most of the time, mistakes are made with dosages. If a patient is prescribed something with a low enough dosage, their condition will either stay the same or deteriorate further. On the contrary, a dosage too high could cause other side effects that could create additional conditions or injuries. In these cases, a doctor may accidentally write the wrong dosage on the prescription, the nurse could give the wrong amount to the patient, or medical machines could have technical difficulties. Additionally, a hospital setting increases the likelihood of a patient receiving medication meant for another person.
In medical malpractice cases regarding medication errors, it is important to have an idea of the setting where the medical professional works. Possible reasons for medication errors include short staffing, malfunctioning technology, or untrained pharmacy technicians.
What is not considered a medication error?
However, there are limits to what can be considered a medical error claim. If a patient has an allergic reaction to a new medication that a reasonable doctor would not have been able to know beforehand, this would not be malpractice. Although unfortunate, treatments that are unsuccessful do not fall under the realm of medical malpractice.
Before you consider hiring an attorney to represent your case, you must know if you are simply angry at a medical professional or if you are the victim of medical malpractice. Contact Rob Levine & Associates for a free case consultation to determine if you have a medical malpractice case.
