By application, the skin care segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the global personal care ingredients market in 2018, in terms of value. This application is projected to drive the personal care ingredients market during the forecast period due to the changing lifestyle and rise in consumer spending on personal care products in developing countries such as India, China, Brazil, and South Africa, among others. In addition, the growing demand for multifunctional ingredients for skin care products for aging population such as anti-aging and anti-acne creams in countries such as the U.S., the U.K., Germany, France, Japan, and South Korea is also expected to drive the demand for personal care ingredients.
By ingredient, the emollients segment led the global personal care ingredients market in 2018. This is due to their use in almost every personal care product such as antiperspirants, deodorants, soaps, skin creams, face cleansers, face creams, hair shampoos, and hair conditioners, among others. The demand is mainly fueled due to soothing and smoothing properties emollients provide to skin.
The Asia-Pacific region is estimated to account for the largest share of the global personal care ingredients market in 2018, in terms of value. Growing population and rapid urbanization in countries such as China, India, Indonesia, and Thailand, accompanied by the rise in consumer spending on personal care products is contributing to the growth of the personal care ingredients market in this region. The availability of affordable personal care products in the region also helps drive the demand for personal care ingredients in the region.
Customers of personal care ingredients such as LOréal, Shiseido, Johnson & Johnson, and Unilever are embracing new digital innovations. Neutrogena skin360 App and SkinScanner smartphone tool provide next-gen skincare. LOréal UV Sense is a battery-free wearable electronic UV sensor for measuring sun exposure.

The Loss of Community
Written by Fr. Richard Rohr, OFM on April 20, 2016
Community The Loss of Community Wednesday, April 20, 2016 Unfortunately, for centuries the Christian vision of church was narrowed to what we have today—a preoccupation with very private salvation. Our "personal relationship with Christ" seems to be with a very small notion of Christ. We've modeled church after a service station where members attend weekly… Continue Reading The Loss of Community

Navigating the West: George Caleb Bingham and the RiverFebruary 22–May 17, 2015
- Location
- Cost
- Paid
This exhibition occurred in the past. The archival exhibition summary below describes the exhibition as it was conceived while on view.
The exhibition Navigating the West: George Caleb Bingham and the River brings together the river paintings of George Caleb Bingham for the first time in decades. The exhibition also will present the artist's paintings depicting the river in the context of his river-related drawings and prints.
Masterworks from institutions across the nation will join popular and important paintings from the Museum's American collection for this exhibition. These paintings — Raftsmen Playing Cards, The Wood-boat and, in particular, Jolly Flatboatmen in Port — have long been highlights of the Museum's collection. But even longtime fans of these works will see them in a new light, as part of Bingham's larger consideration of the river and life along it.
Beyond the genre subjects, the exhibition also includes Bingham's early portraits, allowing for an examination of the ways in which proximity to the Missouri and Mississippi rivers shaped his career and art production, even before he turned to his iconic river workers.
Another topic highlighted in the exhibition is Bingham's artistic process. Conservation research investigating the surfaces of Bingham's drawings and under layers of paint on his canvases has brought to light a stunning new understanding of the artist's composition practice and allows the viewer to experience his mind and hand at work. Bingham drew multiple versions of some of his figures, trying out adjustments to the figures' poses, expressions, and gestures. Bingham even re-used a number of his drawings, tracing the figure on the back side of the paper in order to have a model in a "reversed" pose. He transferred the drawn figures from the sheet of paper to the canvas. These drawings on the canvas are now concealed under the paint layers, but using a process called infrared reflectography, the research team was able to view them and learn even more about the ways the artist edited himself and worked up to his final composition.
Two of Bingham's river compositions—In a Quandary and Jolly Flatboatmen—also were circulated as prints. Having these prints made allowed Bingham's work to reach a much wider audience than the paintings could have ever done on their own. In fact, more than 9,500 prints of the Jolly Flatboatmen subject were produced. Impressions of these prints will be included in the exhibition as well.
Navigating the West: George Caleb Bingham and the River is co-organized by the Art Museum and the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, and will travel to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in June. The exhibition was created by the curatorial and conservation team of Claire Barry, director of conservation at the Kimbell Art Museum; Margaret C. Conrads, deputy director of art and research at the Amon Carter; Nancy Heugh, paper conservator at the Saint Louis Art Museum; Nenette Luarca-Shoaf, independent curator; Shirley Reece-Hughes, associate curator, paintings and sculpture at the Amon Carter; Janeen Turk, assistant curator of American art at the Saint Louis Art Museum; and Andrew J. Walker, director of the Amon Carter.
Navigating the West: George Caleb Bingham and the River is supported by a generous grant from the Henry Luce Foundation. A highly competitive award from the National Endowment for the Arts has been shared between the Saint Louis Art Museum and the Amon Carter Museum of American Art. A leading gift from the William T. Kemper Foundation—Commerce Bank Trustee, has helped make possible the St. Louis presentation.

Why Is The Best Mink Lashes Of Garnier?
The Longer Mink Lashes Are Very Popular
Since Garnier Lashes produced 25mm Mink Lashes, large eyelashes have become more popular. Garnier Lashes have developed 20mm Mink Lashes based on the basic 16mm shape. It is very popular. In the 2018 fashion, 20mm the styles occupy four models, such as 3D13YL, 3D22YL, 3D35YL, 3D66YL. On this basis, Garnier Lashes has developed and improved 12 models of 25mm, 8 models of 20mm lashes, which are favored by long eyelash lovers. The products are in short supply, and several varieties have been out of stock since November 18, and were relieved in mid-January 19 of the same year.
The Longer Mink Lashes Must Be Warped At The End To Be Perfect
We know that the traditional short eyelashes are natural, and you wear the eyelashes just like the ones that are not worn. That is the highest level of short eyelashes. When a girl praises her eyelashes, she is always proud to say "I haven't found my boyfriend with false eyelashes". This sentence describes the ease, nature and comfort of small eyelashes. The Longer Mink Lashes are the opposite. The eyelashes are thick and thick, and her style is flamboyant, unrestrained and strong. If you make it like a small eyelash, the eyelashes that are made are like a fan hanging on the eyelids. It's dark and ugly, and the eyelashes are heavy. Your eyelashes don't have the ability to support them. When you use makeup, you can only continue with mascara. The brush on the forehead can make the mink eyelashes better blend with their own eyelashes. It looks natural and realistic, but the quality and weight of the eyelashes have made her dress unnatural.
The difference between the longer mink lashes and the shorter mink lashes is that there must be a good degree of bending, so that you can find a good support point for the eyelashes. The upturned eyelashes can open the eyes and bring a better beauty effect. This is very important. of. Why are long eyelashes so popular, there is no factory to make this product in the market, no eyelashes to buy this product? It is because the long eyelashes start to bend up from the middle, which is very difficult to do. It cannot be done without mature technology and skilled labor.
Only Garnier Lashes Can Make The Beautiful Longer Mink Lashes
After a long period of research, Garnier Lashes has already overcome this difficulty. Skilled technical workers, according to the technical drawings, manually layered a layer of eyelashes, and then use the combination of heat and force, using exclusive and unique technology, with a 7-day cycle to meet the bending standards required by the designer. The core technology for making the perfect curl of the big eyelashes is only owned by Garnier Lashes, so now only Garnier Lashes can make beautiful eyelashes.After a long period of research, Garnier Lashes has already overcome this difficulty.

Beauty salons and beauty eyelashers buy The Longer Mink Lashes From Garnier Lashes
Now a lot of beauty salons, eyelash beauty artists are also starting to buy big eyelashes from us, because they can't make such long eyelashes because they can't make such long eyelashes, because they can't make such high eyelashes, they give Long eyelashes made by customers must be processed with eyelash curlers and mascara every day to achieve the effect of upturning. This is very troublesome, and no one likes to do so. Because Garnier Lashes's large eyelashes are purely artificial and purely physical, it is expensive, naturally it sells at a high price, and the customer experience is great. For a penny, you want to get a good enjoyment, of course you have to pay a relatively high price.
What Is Wrong With The Longer Mink Lashes that appear in the market?
1. The eyelashes selected by the machine are inconsistent in thickness, and the roots of the eyelashes are neat, and the gap between the ends of the eyelashes is messy, irregular, not beautiful.
2. Bending upturned with chemical dyes, causing damage to the tip of the hair, the gloss of the water mane itself is destroyed, no longer shining beautiful, but the same color as the artificial plastic eyelashes.
3. The stalk is thick, the water bristles selected by the machine, the water bristles of the machine paved, semi-manually manufactured, the eyelashes are uneven, the eyelash stalks are thick, the place is thin, and the support for the eyelashes is not uniform.
4. Single-layer eyelashes use more eyelashes than Garnier Lashes. The number of stacked layers is small, and the entire eyelashes are loose and not compact. Such eyelashes and eyelash stems are naturally weak. It is necessary to use mascara to adhere to their own eyelashes. Keep the eyelashes stable, which increases the weight of the eyelashes. After wearing it, it looks stiff, not flowing, unnatural, and uncomfortable for the user.
Eyelashes are artificially made products. Exquisite technology, experienced eyelashers can make beautiful and beautiful eyelashes. If you only pay attention to the output, use the machine instead of the artificial, you can never make a perfect big eyelash. To enjoy high quality eyelashes, look for Garnier Lashes.
Garnier Lashes eyelashes are of good quality, reasonable price and good service. Whether you use it yourself or do market operations, Garnier Lashes is your most trusted supplier.

WELCOME to the first Mixtape Monday, where I'll give you a round-up of what's been top of my iPod playlists recently, and a little waffle to go along with it!
SOMETHING TO NOTE: Music is subjective, I like what I like (and there isn't much I don't like). This just happens to be the round up of my current jams!
KICKING off the list today is Eminem's newest release, Revival. Eminem albums are always a good time and this album is no exception! He balances his own personal style with consistent evolution brilliantly. His lyrics are raw and real – if you've listened to his earlier albums, you'll know just how close to the bone he can get with his lyrics. Revival is as hard hitting and pulls no punches. In Like Home (feat. Alicia Keys) he manages sum up in 4:05 minutes how many of us feel about the current state of politics in the US. I'm not even American, and this song made me feel some kind of way!
I'm now au fait enough with less mainstream Korean music and producers that I can stumble across gems. POP is produced by Primary, a great RnB producer, and features some of my favourite vocalists. A case in point is track 1, 드라마, features Kim Sunggyu of Infinite. It's such a catchy tune!
MONSTA X are a Korean K-Pop/Hip-Hop/EDM boy group who debuted in 2015. I've been listening to their music since then, but it's only in the last month or so that I've really go into them!백살탕, Because of You and Fighter have long been favourites, but I've finally branched out.
AS previously mentioned,백살탕 and Because of You are two of my favourite Monsta X tracks and both come from the 2016 mini album The Clan Part.1 Lost. but recently I've been listening to All In, the title track, and wondering why on earth I didn't pay it more mind before- I've had this since it's release…
NEXT is the re-package of full album The Clan Pt.2.5. The Final Chapter, titled Shine Forever. Released June 2017 I actually missed this album the first time around, figuring I hadn't listened to the original release much, so why go for the re-package. Huge error. Title track Shine Forever is a jam and has not left my recently played for weeks!
FINALLY we have Monsta X's most recent release from the end of 2017, mini album The Code. I love every single song on this album. There's not a dud on there. There's a good balance of styles
CARAVAN Palace are an electro swing group from France. I happened across these guys late in 2017, but Lone Digger from the albumRobot Face (or <|°_°|>) has not left my recently played lists.
MUCH like Monsta X, Seventeen is a group I had always listened to in passing, mostly their title tracks, but never went much further. Teen, Age, their most recent release, is a full album that is wall-to-wall greatness. If you know Seventeen, you'll already be aware they're a multi-talented bunch. If not, they are a 13 member Korean group that s formed from three teams; vocal, hip-hop and performance. Their albums usually contain tracks with a range of different member combinations, and then some tracks with all 13 of them. They are known in Korea as "self-producing" idols, as they have a heavy influence in writing and choreographing their songs. Each release has shown growth. My stand-out songs on Teen, Age would probably be Change Up (unit leaders), 13월의 춤 or Lilili Yabbay (performance team) and Rocket (Joshua & Vernon).
I missed this movie in theatres, but I am here for the OST. This Is Me and From Now On are belters and I can't wait till I can get this on DVD and can sing along at home!
I think we can agree that it's now reached the point where it's not really a music post on This Geeky Teacher if I haven't mention this song at least once… Yes, I am still listening to it, and, yes, it is still as good as it was last March! Honestly, until something as good or better comes along, I don't see this going anywhere – I wonder if any 2018 releases will top it!
Kelly Clarkson came back with her stellar voice and cracking attitude at the end of 2017, and I've been playing Medicine pretty solidly! The rest of the album is good, but nothing to write home about!
This album has been a long time coming. For a little background, Infinite is a 6 (formerly 7) member Korean boy group who have some of the tightest choreo in the game (unless you've seen any of their older Weekly Idol appearances…) They are particuarly well known for The Chaser, chosen as the best Kpop song of 2012, and Before The Dawn, with its signature "scorpian" dance move. Both have aged incredibly well. Top Seed is only their 3rd full album, but it's one of their best and Tell Me has been on repeat since it's release mere days ago. The sound is still quintessentially Infinite, but they've tweaked it to suit the altered line-up and the shift in the Korean music scene. We didn't get a release from them at all in 2017, so this is along awaited return, and they've not disappointed. If you're not familiar with Korean music then I'm sure you've realized by this point in the post that they don't follow the general pattern of releasing an album every couple of years as in the UK/US etc. Here, they put out rolling releases, be they singles, mini albums or full albums. They can be months or years apart, but generally for the first few years of a groups career, you're likely to see releases every 3-6 months. This is, of course, a very broad observation, but you get the drift…
Honourable Mention:
Spotlight is the first original Japanese release from Monsta X. Through the latter half of 2017 they were releasing Japanese versions of their Korean title tracks. Spotlight is a belter of a track. Japan has a different musical nuance to Korea in terms of what spread of genres are popular and it's always interesting to see how groups adapt their style to suit a different audience. This has been solidly on repeat!

Baccalaureate Address - Lawrence S. Bacow
May 21, 2011
Parents, family members, faculty, friends, but most importantly, to my fellow members of the Class of 2011, welcome!
It is hard to believe that this day has finally come. Tomorrow you will graduate from Tufts. Your college days have officially ended and you are about to commence the rest of your life. I suspect most of you are feeling mixed emotions: pride at having completed your degree, excitement about all that awaits you, sadness at having to say goodbye to good friends, all tempered by a bit of anxiety -- dare I say fear? -- of the unknown. From the time you were five, each year of school followed the next. Except for having to decide where to go to college and what to study, your choices were quite limited. Now all that changes. You are about to make some very important decisions: where to live, what to do, and how to support yourself in the process. Terrifying, isn't it?
I know how you feel. Like you, I am going through similar changes. Adele and I are also taking leave from this Hill, from Tufts, a very special place that we have grown to love. Like you, we are leaving the comfort of familiar circumstances, saying goodbye to old friends. We also are not quite sure what the future holds for us. But while this uncertainty can be a bit scary, it can also be exciting, an opportunity for personal growth. I hope you will embrace the decisions that await you with enthusiasm. You are well equipped to take on the world. You know far more than you realize, and if you are like the other 100,000 Tufts alumni spread throughout the world, you will do well.
Watch the full Baccalaureate ceremony:
The last time you faced similar anxiety was four years ago when you entered Tufts as freshmen. It seems like yesterday that we all gathered on the Quad for Matriculation. At the time, you were worried about whether you would like your roommate, what you would study at Tufts, whether you were up to the competition, and perhaps most of all, how you would survive having to do your own laundry. Well, you managed to overcome all those hurdles and you will also manage the challenges that now stand before you. I have great confidence in each of you.
Many of you, including your parents, have commented to me how quickly these four years have passed.
The time has flown by for Adele and for me, too. When we greeted you at Matriculation four years ago, we knew you would be the last class we would see through from start to finish. As a result you have always been special to us and you always will be. In fact, I hope you don't mind that we have declared ourselves fellow graduates of the Class of 2011.
I suspect you all have very special memories of these past four years and so do we. Let me share a few with you. Adele and I will never forget:
- Busting a few moves with many of you at the Tufts Dance Collective show. Thanks to Katie and the entire TDC Board for letting us make fools of ourselves.
- Appearing on stage as a drunken sailor and his wench in Dido and Aeneas, and as beggars in the Threepenny Opera (in both cases perfectly typecast for a university president and spouse).
- Singing in public for the first time since our respective Bar and Bat Mitzvahs at the opening of Over the Rainbow, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. Thanks Sam and Jeewon for the opportunity, but I think Adele and I are going to retire for another 47 years before we try that again.
- Welcoming an incredible group of distinguished visitors to campus including Joshua Bell, Tony Blair, Katie Couric, Nancy Pelosi, Michael Pollan, Michael Sandel, Stephen Sondheim, and Bob Woodward, to name just a few.
- Being at the Campus Center with many of you on election night 2008, and then watching with pride as a few thousand of you broke into patriotic song on the Rez Quad.
- Training through Boston's worst winter in memory with the Marathon Team and then being at the finish line to give each of you a big sweaty hug. What an amazing experience.
- Sharing in the excitement when our Men's Lacrosse team won Tufts' first NCAA team championship last year. Great going, guys.
- Throwing out the first pitch at Fenway Park with 700 fellow Jumbos in attendance. What a thrill!
- Watching with pride as our own Beelzebubs charmed the nation with their amazing run on Sing-Off and now appearing as the voices of the Warblers on Glee.
Senior Dinners, meeting our Tufts in Spain students at the US Ambassador's residence in Madrid, and enjoying home cooked meals at 39 Curtis Avenue and Hillside 210. All special memories. I could go on.
But what Adele and I will remember most is seeing so many of you arrive as slightly insecure freshmen and, now, leave as confident, well-educated, worldly young men and women. Moms and Dads, four years ago at Matriculation I told you that the fact that you were sitting at Tufts on that beautiful day was evidence that you had done your job well as parents. Now I hope you will agree that the fact you are sitting here today is evidence that your kids have done their job well (but with a little bit of help from our faculty and staff.) Your sons and daughters are truly amazing and Adele and I have loved getting to know them. Thank you again for entrusting them to us.
I know from our conversations at the Senior Brunch last week that this is a bittersweet time for many of you. You are worried that you are saying goodbye to friends who have been so much a part of your life for these past four years; people that you have lived with, laughed with, loved with and cried with. Well, not to worry. You are not saying goodbye. The relationships that you have forged during your time on this Hill will only deepen with time. You will attend each other's weddings; share in the joy of the birth of each other's children; vacation together and go into business together. You will find a way to stay in touch whether by phone, email, Facebook, Twitter, Skype, or technologies yet to be invented.
And if you don't believe me, let me illustrate my point by example. Here today with their wives are three of my college roommates - Alan Detsky, Ken Musen, and Alan Spoon. We met 42 years ago this fall as freshmen. We are still the closest of friends, and we still get together regularly. So will you.
I suspect many of you would love to have a crystal ball that would allow you to peer into the future, to tell you what you will do with your life. You would love to know how you are going to earn a living, whether you will be happy and successful, and with whom you will share life's passages. If such a crystal ball existed, I would tell you to throw it away. Life is interesting in part because your future is not ordained. You have the opportunity, indeed the responsibility, to shape your life. Take control. Make your choices deliberately and intelligently. Embrace uncertainty and be prepared to recognize opportunity when it walks up and hits you in the face, because it will.
There are many ways to earn a living. Far more important is to live a meaningful life.
Freud was once asked about the meaning of life. I am paraphrasing his response only slightly: He said, "To work and to love." And at the risk of being accused of editing Freud, I would also add, "To serve."
How fortunate you will be to find meaningful work, work that fulfills you, work that you enjoy, work that makes a difference.
Whenever I have confronted career decisions I have found it useful to ask myself three questions:
First, is the job worth doing? Not all jobs are. We spend so much time at our work that I think it should have a purpose that we believe in. This is a very personal judgment and you are entitled to make it on your own. Listen to your heart.
Second, will you grow and learn in the job? A job should stretch you, force you to master new skills, and embrace new challenges. If it does not, you will soon grow stale and unhappy.
Finally, will you like and respect your colleagues? Life is too short to work with people that you neither like nor respect. Also, it is difficult to learn from people if you do not hold them in high esteem.
It is not enough to ask these questions when you are contemplating a new job. You have to continually ask them because circumstances change. Candidly, one reason I am stepping down as President after ten years is that I worry about growing stale. Serving as your President has been a true joy. I could not have asked for more meaningful work, and I love my colleagues, but I need to move on if I am going to continue to grow as a person. I hope that some day each of you will be similarly blessed to have the opportunity to do work that makes a true difference in other people's lives -- work that stretches you --and to do it with people that you really like and respect.
What about love? You will never find fulfillment if you do not have the opportunity to love and be loved. Finding the right life partner is the great lottery in life. I was lucky. I won this lottery big time. Thank you, Adele. I hope all of you will be as fortunate. But if you are to be happy and fulfilled, I think you need more than just a loving spouse. Family and friends are also incredibly important. As you find your way in the world, you will have to make choices about how you lead your life. Are you going to put family or career first? Anyone who consistently resolves this tension in favor of their career risks putting their most important relationships in jeopardy. It is not always easy to find that elusive balance that Freud understood deeply. Meaningful work without love is empty, and love without meaningful work is often not sustainable.
I hope throughout your lives you will look for opportunities to serve and to help others. None of us have ever accomplished anything of consequence on our own. If we have succeeded, it is due in no small measure to the help and support we have received from others. In some cases, this support was visible. Someone encouraged us, gave us a lead, or otherwise opened doors. In other cases this support was anonymous – the person who long ago volunteered their time to help create an organization that is now the center of your life.
Nothing is more rewarding than extending a helping hand to those in need. When you leave this Hill tomorrow as Tufts graduates, you bear a special responsibility to help those less fortunate. With education comes responsibility. I have yet to meet anyone who believes this world is perfect. This statement is as true for Democrats as it is for Republicans, for liberals as it is for conservatives. If the world is not perfect, the only way it will get better is if good people like you commit yourselves to repairing it. We all bear this responsibility. Please do not sit on the sidelines. We expect you to get involved.
So Class of 2011, may you find meaningful work, may you love and be loved, and may you find fulfillment in serving others. If you do, I guarantee you a happy life.
Let me close with one of my favorite passages from the Talmud, a sacred text and source of much wisdom. It is the reflection of a great Talmudic scholar. He says, "I have learned much from my teachers, more from my colleagues, but most from my students."
Class of 2011, on behalf of all of your teachers over these past four years, thank you for having taught us so well.

Boating with children
Many children love boating and other water activities. You can improve their confidence - and your peace of mind - by investing some time in training and education before you hit the water.
- Show children around the vessel - especially where lifejackets, first aid kit and other equipment are kept.
- Teach them emergency procedures, particularly that if the boat capsizes everyone should stay with it or an easily seen floating object.
- Teach them about stability, getting on and off the boat, and distributing the load evenly.
- If they are old enough, show children how to use safety equipment such as the radio, EPIRB and flares.
- Before you take them boating, encourage children to learn to swim, and practise emergency positions in the water, such as treading water, HELP (heat escape lessening posture) and Huddle. These positions are explained within our information on cold water immersion.
Lifejackets on babies and toddlers
Maritime Safety Victoria does not recommend taking infants on board a recreational boat.
Because of the varying weight distribution of babies, it is difficult to design lifejackets which have flotation in the right places to keep babies afloat. The lifejackets currently available for newborns up to 10 kg may not provide a proper fit or perform as expected.
You must be sure you know the lifejacket you have works for your infant. Children should not be exposed to any risk on a boat on the water.

When it comes to Google's apps, Wednesday is generally the day that users can expect to see updates for a handful of the apps that Google offers, and although not all of them get an update every single week, there is usually a few that are introduced to the public with new features and improvements. Just today Google has already updated the Google App to include the ability to listen to podcasts, (Android devices only, for now) and Inbox by Gmail now lets users preview news letters. Google's Sheets application is getting an update today too and it's focused on improving the experience with charts.
While charts have been available within the Sheets app on Android prior to today's update, using them is about to get a whole lot better. Google has added the ability for users to change the titles of charts right from the app, as well as add titles to charts if they didn't already have one in the first place. If you add the title and later on decide you don't really care for it, you can simply change it again later on the fly. This should be a very useful feature for those who have constant indecision.
Alongside the ability to now add and change the titles of charts, Sheets users can now also add and change the titles of the X axis or Y axis lines too. Other changes to the app include the ability for users to set up where they would like the location of the legend on the chart to be. The legend is an integral piece of any chart as it informs people of important details, and now in Sheets the legend location can be placed anywhere the user prefers if they feel it would look better in a particular spot. Lastly, Google has also made it possible to change the color of a series in a chart, if that sort of things is pertinent to the chart at all. The update is set to roll out to users gradually with Google stating that it could potentially take more than three days for some users to actually see the new features.

Most computer users / laptops think that they simply provide protection on the device by installing antivirus and the like. But there are other easier tricks that will help your Mac or PC become more secure than ever before. Believe it or not, the trick that will be spelled out later does not involve an antivirus application or writing a specific command line in Windows. Protect your computer can be done in a simple way.
One of the biggest events to secure a device is to limit the use of device accounts to one person, or in this case: it's best that you have access to the device and you do not publish it to someone else. Use this method in daily computer usage activities, whether as you browse the internet or do something with Office applications.
Even if you give access to use to others, make sure that those who use them also get restrictions. For example: save your administrator account for computer administrative tasks. Using this means keeping infections outside, such as viruses or malware, on both PC and Mac, does not interfere with overall device performance.
Because it would be better if you do not authorize other users to install, modify, or uninstall the software. In the present day, people can do it by setting passwords and users at the administrative level, and this should be set only for you as a primary user and as the owner of the device.
How to Make Account Restrictions?
Both Apple and Microsoft usually manage users with administrator rights, by default. That is, it has become a system default. But the fact is you only need one account for one device, while other users should be restricted when accessing your laptop or PC or Mac device.
Setting account restrictions is actually very easy, but the way is likely to be similar in every version of Windows.
- In Windows 7. Point your mouse cursor to Start >>> Control Panel >>> Add or Remove User Accounts. Or you can also choose the User Accounts >>> Create New Account option. Type the desired username, then select the Standard User button and then click Create Account. The next step is to create a password by clicking Create Password and enter the desired password.
- In Windows 8 or 8.1. Tap parts of Windows and I key simultaneously to access Settings menu. Select Control Panel, and then Add or Remove User Accounts or select User Accounts. The available options depend on the display options in your Control Panel. Then select Create a New Account, then type in the desired username. Select the Standard User button and click Create Account. Then the last step: click Create Password and enter the desired keyword.
- Hover over Start >>> Settings >>> Accounts >>> Family & Other Users. Then click "Add someone else to this PC." The next step is to select the option "I do not have thus person's sign-in information" and click Next. (Ignore the command to enter the user's email address and phone number.) On the next screen you can select "Add a user without a Microsoft account" and click Next. In versions of Windows 10 Professional Editions and Windows 10 Home, the two previously requested steps are missing. Then on the next screen you just type in the desired username and password. Next click Next.
Now, protecting your computer from unpleasant deeds can be applied casually. That's the simplest way to secure your computer and laptop. Easy is not it? Everyone seems to be able to do it.

30 Non-Americans Who Tweeted Their Confusion About America
It's no secret—the rest of the world looks at how peculiar American culture can be and wonders if it's even real.
'Cause let's face it—even if it looks fine for us, that doesn't mean that having police patrol your school, paying for a ride to the hospital, and calling the toilet "restroom" when we all know very well there ain't nobody going there to have a rest shouldn't raise a brow for others.
So this time, we are looking at what American things make our fellow non-American friends scratch their heads in simple, yet very spot-on questions below. Our dear American Pandas are also welcome to help separate what's real, what's rumors, and what only happens in movies in the comments! And after you're done with this post, check out our previous one with things Americans do that require an explanation for non-Americans.
This post may include affiliate links.
But taking off shoes and socks when you come in is nearly as good as taking off your bra.
We have them. They are usually part of the cheerleader squad or dance squad. It is a sports thing. We take sports very seriously.
Even though Americans and Europeans share many things, like commitment to democratic principles, a strategic alliance, and some of the highest standards in the world, there are still some very notable differences between them.
A 2016 study done by Pew Research Center was very revealing in that respect. First of all, it showed that Americans are more likely to believe they control their own destiny.
The research showed that a staggering 57% of Americans disagreed with the statement "Success in life is pretty much determined by forces outside our control." The percentage was higher than in any other European nations polled.
It's aisles, though an isle just for cereal would be amazing :-)
The second interesting thing the Pew poll showed is that "Americans prioritize individual liberty, while Europeans tend to value the role of the state to ensure no one in society is in need."
When it comes to religion, it turned out that over half in the US (53%) say religion is extremely important in their life, which is nearly double the share with the same view in Poland.
In France, for example, only 14% consider religion a very important aspect of their lives.
you should see what we do to marshmellows....they had it coming
How else would you call them? Students wouldn't use the teachers first name.
Not in Italy. We call them teacher or professor depending in wich grade you are.
Also in Brazil.... when the students are not beating them or cursing.... I feel sad for the noblest profession in the World. That's why we just can't evolve for real in any area on the country.
"Sir" or "miss"
Nia Loves Art, we don't use their last name at all when using sir or miss, also female teachers do not mind being called Miss, at least at my school.
Do you not have more than 1 teacher? How then do you differentiate?
Miss is used for a young unmarried woman. Calling someone "Sir Lastname" would be seen as extremely sarcastic or pretentious and is not done in the US.
So some people are confused. Say the teachers name was bob smith. We wouldn't say "mr smith" or "sir smith" we would just address them as a sir. For example: Sir, can I go to the bathroom? Hope this helped (same thing with miss)
@Andrea malone: when we're directly talking to that teacher we say sir/miss. But if we were talking about that teacher to some else, we'd say "Mr smiths classroom is just down the hall" or whatever you're saying
They are people with names.
I call my teacher by her last name once. She send me to the principal. (Sweden)
It's remarkable how cultures are so different! I'd love a peek inside that classroom. The opposite was true for me growing up. To use a first name is to imply an inappropriate familiarity or the presumption that the student is equal to the teacher.
At all of my schools we called the teacher by their first name
Interesting. Where are these schools? Is this typical of society there in general? In my country, it is generally considered rude for young people to refer to adults by their first name.
In Denmark first name is normal everywhere... even royalty. They dont have sirnames. With royalties We use titels before firstname...
well, that is considered rude here in Eastern Europe
Same in Spain, just their first name
*Last Name*-Sensei
Yes but this is either Japanese or Karate (which I am both)
Mr. or Mrs. teacher
In the U.S. a teacher is called Mrs. (or Miss) then by the first letter of their last name. Like "Mrs. B" etc. The male teachers are the same. Mr. B. etc. If there are 2 teachers with the same last name the first name is used. My granddaughter was not used to male teachers so she called her first one "Miss" Eric. He understood.
It's changing. When I was a child you NEVER called an adult by their first name. Now it is more relaxed. I allow my children to call adults by their first name but have to use Mr or Miss first. In school it's different though. Mr or Miss Last-name. Also I call the elderly Mr. or Mrs Last name, because that was more important to their generation.
we call them mr/mrs teacher in elementary school, usually mr/mrs professor in high school and by their degree in university... without the name
They sure would in Finland. I know I did all the way from primary school to university. Except for one Mexican teacher in the uni. She was having none of it!
In the school my kids go to they call teachers by their first name. In Finland.
This comment has been deleted.
In Sweden it would be rude not to use the first name
Same in Spain.Load More Replies...
Not rude, but weird. Who really knows their names if we call them all PROFEEEEEE or TEACHEEEER.
Yes. And at 46 years old, I see my past teachers in public and still call them Mr/Mrs/Coach because that is a sign of respect.
Same in the UK!Load More Replies...
We call them "sir" or "miss"
Haha, me too! It just seems so strange not to.
In most schools yes. Calling a teacher by their first name is considered disrespectful.
In Denmark we use first names. Always. At all levels of education. Some students probably don't even know my last name
i know your last name, it's thomsen (if it's your real last name)Load More Replies...
well if b l a n c read and learned new information, technically he/she/it is a student of mine :-)
And you're one of his students?
Maybe most of country use mr/mrs/ms 'last name' to call their teacher. But in Indonesia, we call our teacher mr/mrs/ms 'first name' since calling people's last name is uncommon here (even some people don't have last name)
Same in Australia, on occasions the teacher may use their first name if their last name is difficult to say ie Miss Katie instead of Miss Giannocopolis. Even as an adult when I talk to my son or daughters teachers I use Mr, Mrs such and such to address them.
Yep, when I got to "senior campus" (years 11 and 12) we used first names, but up till then it was Title and LastnameLoad More Replies...
In Norway we just use their first names
Same in France and Germany
In Denmark we always call teachers by first name - even in university
I learned of this by watching Rita, an awesome TV series! In Canada we would never, ever call our teacher by their first name! We never even knew their first names anyways. It was Mrs/Ms/Miss/Mme/Mlle (lastname) or Mr/M (lastname).Load More Replies...
In Poland students never called their teacher by first or last name - it would be judged as rude, unacceptable and inappropriate behaviour. In primary school it is Mrs or Mr, in high school Mrs/Mr Professor, at University: Mrs/Mr plus academic degree, student should be very attentive and vigilant so as not to get confused ;)
We do this in Australia too.
I'm European so I Gabe always referred to my teachers by first name so it was weird for me to have to reach my kid to do Mr and Mrs but that's just what they do over here. I'd think if it's a respect thing they should also refer to the kids by their last names too - which they don't
True and I never thought twice about it
Most countries do
Yeah ... just now found out that this is weird.
I was freaked out when I started teaching in England. The first class came in and all I heard was "Miss", "Miss", "Miss". And they called all the male teachers "Sir". I doubt many of them even knew their teachers' names!
We don't have to... but when you accidentally call them "Mom" or "Dad" you get laughed out of class
Yes, out of respect.
my old school we could do first names in norwell
In primary school they are called miss, mrs, mr [first name].In higher education they are called miss, mrs, mr [last name] in the Netherlands.
Sometimes we call them mr/ms/mrs first name
Yeah, it's a respect thing. They don't think it's too funny when you call them by their first name
We do that in the UK too
Yes we do. It's a sign of respect.
West end of my city, they call their teach all kinds of name,
In the South they call adults Ms *1st name*. In the Nothern states, we always called them mr/ms/mrs last name.
In elementary through high school, yes. In college they prefer to be called by their first name.
when you are little it's Ms. Heather, or Ms. Kim(before school) ....but when you get to school it's last names..i don't get it
Whaddya you call YOUR teacher??
Yes... Do you all do Mr./Ms./Mrs. first name?
In Portugal we just call them teacher "Professor (a)" in portuguese
In the UK at school we would call them Mr/Miss/Mrs but at college we used first names and it was weird to use their surname
In my daughter's school, kids call teachers Mr/Miss [first name]. This seems very odd to me, when I was in school just 20ish years ago, we usually didn't even know teachers' first names - we always called them Mr/Miss [last name].
we did iin Holland!
This isn't an American thing...
We do that in the UK too.
Depends on the teacher.
When students use "proper" names, they are much more respectful.
My kids' school was a small, close community. In talking about the teachers at home, and with them in social settings, all (including kids) used frost names. And then in school they'd smoothly shift back to Ms. Last name. (It was a bilingual school, so they were used to code shifting).
Yes, as a kid, I found it completely absurd. Sometimes the teachers would even say "no".
wrong question - disregard.Load More Replies...
What do you do?
In the UK this is also standard.
Well, after experiencing it for a year myself, I very much prefer the Mr./Mrs. Last name over "teacher". It feels more personal while keeping a healthy distance. And my sweet and dear teacher Mr. G, who inspired me 20 some years ago to keep up singing and being myself, is still someone I keep in touch with every now and the through Facebook :)
What do y'all call them? Hey teacher can you help me? Hey professor can you repeat what you said?
To save everyone time (this applies to most items in this list)...yes, Americans do all the things you see on TV and movies...just some less than others. If it was something nobody did, they probably wouldn't put it in the show/movie.
Same in Britain
I was taught that it is a sign of respect, so even as an adult I will refer to former teachers in this way.
Here in Mexico, at least in the region I live, since junior high school it's very common called them "profe" or "profa", it's the short for "professor", and teachers are really cool with that. In earlier grades it's more common calling them "maestro" o "maestra" (master), it's kinda odd, 'cause that would implies that they have a master's degree, which is seldom the case 😂
How else would you indicate to which patriarch they were subjugated. Ms. Brown answers to her father, Mister Brown. Mrs. Smith, her husband Mr. Smith.
I forgot that sarcasm isn't a universally accepted form of humour. Sorry pandas! Also, my USA autocorrect is calling out my spelling of "humour" as erroneous.Load More Replies...
We always called out teachers mr or mrs or miss
No children here use adults first names, its considered rude and disrespectful.
Same in the U.K. In one school I went to we had to use Sir and Ma'am.
Haha, according to Dorothy Zbornak, anything beats "Yo, teach!"! XDLoad More Replies...
We say "Sir" and "Miss" in our secondary schools but In most primary schools we do say "Mrs (surname)"
Usually. Sometimes mr/ms/mrs first name.
Or "Dr".
thats in almost every country i cant think of one where thats not the case
I remember back in school we didn't use miss, Mrs or Mr. If someone had a question you simply said "teacher" instead of calling out Mrs "lady name"Load More Replies...
That's in Latvia. But times has changed so it might be different now.
Interesting. Which are the countries you can think of? Because I can't think of a single one where it would be the case.
We do this here in Austria. But we also call them Professor last name depending on the type of school.
@eletcric ed. Seriously "not a single one"? Please give us your list also...
How would you call the teacher other than mr/mrs/ms + surname? 'teacher'? Germany and UK asking.
Some schools are more strict than others and require them. My schools didn't require them. We just excused ourselves and went to the restroom when needed.
No. They don't - at least the schools that I went to and my nieces and nephews don't (they are ages 4 - 17). In the past, students were made to recite the "pledge of allegiance" each morning, but I think this is something that has fallen by the wayside.
Some schools don't allow it, but at the schools I went to we were allowed to. It was fun! You can put magnets, quotes, pictures of loved ones.
What's so unusual with this? I'm Austrian and my children's friends never used my first name.
I think children all over the world have to feel "slightly suicidal" to do this.

The weird part is that someone would give a rat's ass about Americans microwaving water or how they eat bacon. Apparently no one has the same questions about Russians, Chinese, or even Lithuanians. Give it a rest Panda.
I think it's becase more people around the globe see American movies or TV shows than they see movies made by Russians, Chinese, or Lithuanians.
Rule the world. Good joke.
I would politely disagree, one elects what one watches ...
You'd think if someone watches a person heat their water in the microwave, they'd go, hey that looks easier than what I'm doing, and try it.
This comment is hidden. Click here to view.
yeah, americans basically rule the world. that's why everybody knows about everything happening in america first before most other things. america is just a big influencer country so we see more american things that anything else
American movies and TV shows are widely seen around the world, which is why they wonder if certain things they see are real or not.
That's because the ability to act in ridiculous ways can be found everywhere, but nobody outside of the states see it as something to be proud of
BP is obsessed with America, Instagram vs real life, and Disney princesses.
And cats, but nobody get tired of those and for good reason.
And also with illustrations about modern society problems.
We have had most of these questions before as well. I know we might not see as much of other countries different cultures but all the more reason to share about questions and answers about them. Please Bored Panda do a different country to the US!
Lucas Good response!
U mad? Boiling water for tea in the microwave is fucking weird
Frankenfrog haha
The price of being famous. Or infamous.
This comment has been deleted.
I think Bored Panda is pretty western culture centric, nothing wrong with that, it's just the states is perhaps the biggest influence on western culture.
sorlag110 haha
Because the whole world sees Americans microwaving water on TV and in movies. If my culture aimed to entertain the whole world, I would at least make sure that the characters in my movies don't do absolutely ridiculous and unhealthy things like, for example, microwaving water. It serves no point whatsoever in the movie plot and looks silly.
Excuse me, what is unhealthy about microwaving water? It's heated. And setting a kettle to boil never does much for any plot I ever saw. I happen to have a kettle ready to put on the boil at any given moment, but there are many who heat water in the microwave for a quick cuppa.
I would venture to say not very many homes have a kettle to boil water unless they are tea drinkers. We are a coffee culture for the most part. I microwaved waved water yesterday for a rare cup of tea.
Deborah Chapman love
Deborah Chapman no
Deborah Chapman what
half of those things are also done in europe and south america.....
i thought so too, it's not just americans. it happens most places. like the pb & j, and promLoad More Replies...
Do Americans actually have that violent bullying culture at schools, with football players and cheer leaders on the social top and geeks on the bottom? Or senior students bullying first-graders? Please, tell me it's all a movie thing!
It's not as openly expressed as in movies, but unfortunately yes. Bullying is a huge problem. Most schools "anti-bullying programs" are some posters and maybe a talk about how bullying is bad every month or so. I remember in seventh grade I was just the kid everyone hated for no reason. It got pretty bad and I was already dealing with some stuff that comes with growing up, but I know the bullying was a huge part of it. I know of lots of other kids who have had to deal with bullying too. It's really sad, but the whole social cliques and bullying thing is very real.Load More Replies...
If you believe t.v. English boarding schools are even worse and it's taken for granted.
Never mind movies, there's enough in the news about that. But boarding schools everywhere tend to have the same problems.
It used to be that way, but luckily nowadays our social tiers are topped SJWs and LGBTQIA activists. Strangely enough, the switch from physical bullying to psychological bullying has not really reduced the number of suicides or school shootings. That said, when I was a youth long ago, bullies of all types were soon ganged up on by people who refused to take the abuse anymore, and quite often by brave individuals who stood up for themselves.
Jim Ellington good
It's a movie thing. Bullying exists somewhat but most groups leave each other alone. My kids just finished high school, and similar to when I was in school, you didn't really interact with popular kids unless you were in their group, and they didn't pay attention to non popular kids.
Are you implying that this is just an American thing? That's just nonsense, humans are the same everywhere and bullying is universal.
No, it's for real. Not in every school, of course, but it does happen.
Michael Capriola Jr. good
A senior bullying a first grader would be ridiculous. An 18-year old vs a 7-year old? No.
It's not!
Yes. It's common in all cultures. There will be cliques. THere will be Alphas. There will be victims. Is it as "bad" as the movies? Probably not *everywhere*, all the time, but... Yeah. It's real.
I think some of these have to do with a word meaning different things in different countries. Jelly in Europe, for example, I'm pretty sure is what we in the US would call Jello (which is a brand name of gelatin that caught on as the general term for that item). So, yea, we don't eat peanut butter and gelatin. Our jelly is a spread closer to jam but made from fruit juice instead of the fruit.
My jam (I am American) is made with the fruit. Jelly is made without seeds. Gelatin is Jell-O, or an additive to fancy desserts... So I figure we should call it "Fruit Goop" as my sister did!Load More Replies...
Do Americans/Westerners really keep the medicines in bathroom? Asking as I've seen that in many TV shows. If yes, why not in kitchen?
I keep my meds in the kitchen -- it's actually not good to keep them in the bathroom where steam can affect some meds -- but since, at some point, it was decided to make the bathroom mirror into a cabinet and call it a "medicine cabinet" that's where many people keep them.
Because we have a special cabinet built into the mirror in the bathroom to house our medicines. Everyone goes to their bathroom while getting prepared for their day. I don't even pass through my kitchen before I go to work in the morning.
It's actually called a medicine cabinet so we keep medications there.
No, I and most people I know don't keep meds in the bathroom. Especially if you have kids. Up high and out of reach. I keep mine in my bedroom as I take them at night.
Top drawer of my clothing bureau/dresser/whatever you call it. Keeps it out of the way of others in household, safe from light/heat.

Last Friday's photo — The Coral Islanders
A terrific response from readers to last week's 'Back in the Day' photo.
Darlene Ming, George Courtney Jr, Evelyn Lespere, Calvin Hendrickson, Ed White, Wilbert Warner Snr, Dennis Fox, Ty Stovell, the ever-helpful Ellen Coelho, and two unidentified callers all enthusiastically confirmed the identity of the musicians in last week's photo.
It is, of course, none other than the Hubert 'Bermuda is Another World' Smith and his Coral Islanders. Left to right, the band members were Stan Seymour, Hubert Smith, Albert Fox, and Earl Darrell.
Mr. Seymour is the only surviving member today, with a number of calypso records on the market under the name 'Lord Necktie'.
Evelyn Lespere recognized her big brother Hubert Smith immediately, recalling his many years with the band, while Dennis Fox spotted his father Albert on the double bass (the instrument is still kept in the family, and Dennis himself is part of the Giant Steps band).
Calvin Hendrickson said that he sang under the tutelage of the Coral Islanders when they gave his vocal group a start in 1956, performing as their backing band at Clay House Inn on North Shore Road.
There was contention over the location, with some people saying it was the Clay House Inn and another The Harmony Club. However, both Dennis Fox and Darlene Ming offered the most convincing argument for the photo having been taken during a recording session in the ZBM Television studio at Bermuda Broadcasting.
Ms Ming said "Giveaways for me include the drapes in the background, the floor 'riser' just behind the musicians and their instruments, and the studio Christmas tree on the left side of the pic."
For more on Hubert Smith, visit www.bermudabiographies.bm.
The popularity of our 'Back in the Day' feature has been huge thanks to our many callers and e-mailers. Some callers have said that they immediately turn to page 9 as soon as they get the Friday edition of the Sun. While I am unable to respond to every message I receive, please keep calling in and helping us to piece together a little more of Bermuda's pictorial history, and be sure to leave your name so everybody gets a credit in the following week's write-up.

I have said it before but I'm saying it again. La Roche-Posay is my favourite skincare brand. My skin loves their products for dry skin, and recently, I got an opportunity to test out another one of their gems – Hydreane Riche Moisturizing Cream for Sensitive Skin. It arrived to my doorstep just in time, as my skin is getting drier again now that the cold weather has started.
The product comes in a standard 40 ml tube packaging and is, as the name suggests, designed for dry and sensitive skin. It is dermatologically tested, paraben free, hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, and contains La Roche-Posay's Thermal Spring Water with soothing, softening and anti-irritating properties.
I'm using it in the morning and find it great as a makeup base, which makes me ridiculously happy. If you have dry skin yourself, you'll know how hard it is to find a day cream that tackles the problem but isn't too heavy to use under makeup. Hydreane Riche is amazing in that regard. It sinks in quickly without leaving the heavy layer over your skin, but still makes your skin soft and hydrated. I don't think the product would make a huge difference to very dry skin if you would be using it on its own, but as a day cream following a heavier night moisturizer applied a night before, it works perfectly.
I'm planning to put up a rather long post about my favourite face products for dry skin soon, so I'll tell you more about the other products that also help me combat the dryness another time, but today, I'm ending this post with a surprise giveaway! The amazing Slovenian La Roche-Posay PR team sent me a whole bunch of Hydreane Riche creams to give away to you, so you can expect quite a few giveaways popping up on various different social networks of mine very soon. Let's hit it off with a blog giveaway, shall we? The giveaway ends in one month, on December 7th, and there will be two winners. Each will receive the star od today's post – their very own La Roche-Posay Hydreane Riche Moisturizing Cream for Sensitive skin. All you have to do to participate is to fill in your details in the rafflecopter below. And don't forget to subscribe to my youtube channel and follow me on facebook/twitter/instagram for a chance to participate in my other upcoming giveaways, where I'll be giving away even more of these creams! 🙂

Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Anto Lecky, has said that only idiots judge people based on their looks.
Taking to her Instagram page, the reality star, who has been body shamed multiple times on social media, addressed the issue.
She said as far as one knows who he/she is, those who provoke and judge them don't matter. See what she wrote below;
"I've received a lot of messages lately about how to boost one's confidence and composure. Just a few pieces of advice…
People will provoke you and judge you, but as long as you KNOW that you are a QUEEN, nothing else matters. And yes it's easier said than done because people will piss you off; you'll do a lot of pep talking to yourself, but as long as you believe in you, you'll be fine. Some days are better than others, but it's being able to move past the previous day that makes you stronger
I know ALOT of us have body image issues. Just know that anyone who judges you based on your looks is an idiot (yes I said it). I can't even count how many people I blocked the other day for commenting that I didn't have boobs. Yeah I know and so ???? same people abusing me now will be the same ones to abuse me if I get cosmetic surgery
When you accept that those "flaws" you have are what make you unique, you will begin to love what you see in the mirror. So, I know I have a big forehead, big pointy nose, slim frame, veins that are very visible, small breasts, invisible waist, no too much ass, hip dip, deep voice, dark skin, walk like I'm pregnant, look like a granny, but I LOVE it. And if ever I decide to do cosmetic surgery, it will be because I WANT to and not because of someone else's opinion of me
What some people hate, others will love. So love those that love you and ignore those that don't ?

Released in July 2016, our BSDS3 kit was one of the first reliable blind spot sensor kits to truly detect objects in the vehicle's blind spot. Using MICROWAVE technology and a sophisticated algorithm allows fewer to no false detection, giving the driver more confidence while driving, even in rainy conditions. These sensors are designed so installation is a snap. Requires zero calibration and no drilling in to the vehicle's bumper, which maintains a factory look. The flush mount, smoked LEDs give a clean look. Once the driver activates either turn signal, the hidden speaker will give an audible warning while the LED indicator will light up on the side the object is on. The BSDS3 was designed to work on most vehicles with plastic, urethane, and fiberglass bumpers, giving our kit a truly universal application. (Will not work on metal bumpers or truck bedsides)
- OEM Performance
- 2 sensor kit designed to mount behind the bumper
- No drilling required
- 2 LED indicators for visual warning
- External speaker
- Universal
- None available

Bernie Sanders is simply the best candidate to beat Donald Trump; Delegates and Super Delegates please cast your votes accordingly. An average of the entire summary of all polling data compiled over the course of the election confirms this:
Sanders leads Trump nationally +10.4
Hillary is slightly above at +3.2
Do Democrats REALLY want to Win the White House?
The Democratic Party claims that Winning the White House is their top priority, along with defeating Trump. It's time to look at the facts and look at who is the best candidate to achieve these goals; goals taken straight from the DNC.
Case in point #1: When Bernie addressed the House of Representatives to explain that "it's not about winning, it's about transforming America," he was booed by Democratic members of Congress who believe they have no power to transform America unless they win elections. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/bernie-sanders-democrats-booed-225173
Case in point #2. Democrats also believe our main goal is to defeat Trump, i.e. win elections. Their messaging is solely, WE MUST DEFEAT TRUMP.
Those two points have the Democratic Party freaking out after, to their surprise, Hillary's polling went DOWN after Bernie endorsed her.
Emails sent from DCCC after Bernie's endorsement.
Three desperate emails were sent out in one day following Bernie's endorsement only to find Hillary's polling against Trump showed her LOSING ground, especially in three key swing states of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania showing them being completely terrified over the lack of "unity" as Sanders supporters fail to fall in line behind Hillary claiming:
"After Bernie's call for unity yesterday, we just figured Democrats would...well...unify.
But instead, everything is falling apart.
FIRST: We heard barely a peep from grassroots Democrats.
THEN: A Quinnipiac poll showed Trump and Clinton tied in OH, FL, and PA.*
NOW: We're questioning whether the Democratic Party can unify at all."
Polling prior to Bernie's endorsement, June 21st vs. after, July 13th:
*(note that the states are not all 'tied' as the DCCC claims):
FL: Clinton 47 - Trump 39 -----> Clinton 39 - Trump 42
OH: Clinton 40 - Trump 40 ------> Clinton 41 - Trump 41
PA: Clinton 42 - Trump 41 ------> Clinton 41 - Trump 43
June 21st vs. July 13th, as well as virtually EVERY POLL conducted between Sanders and Trump, Bernie wins nationally every time (as stated in beginning):
FL: Sanders 45 - Trump 39 ------> Clinton 47 - Trump 39
OH:Sanders 48 - Trump 38 ------> Clinton 40 - Trump 40
PA: Sanders 47 - Trump 40 ------> Clinton 42 - Trump 41
13 million votes for Bernie Sanders were cast from demographics who are largely composed of people who simply refuse to vote for Hillary OR Trump. And some of them rather vote for Trump INSTEAD of Hillary! This is a stark reality that the Democratic Party must come to grips with if they not only want to put a Democrat in the White House in January, but elect Democrats in Primaries across our nation in November. Are you willing to lose the White House (as well as Congress) and suffer a loss that allows the potential for a President Trump?
Dr. Cornel West is now endorsing Jill Stein over Hillary Clinton.
Most Bernie supporters are Dr. Cornel West supporters. He makes a compelling argument to his supporters on why Hillary, nor Trump, is a viable choice. How many of those 13 million will follow West? How many will vote Trump? How many will write in Bernie or simply stay home? Are Democrats willing to risk losing over this?
So, do Democrats REALLY want to Win the White House?
Then maybe it's time for DNC Delegates and Super Delegates to rethink who their nominee will be in order to achieve that victory.
Bernie Sanders is simply the best candidate to beat Donald Trump; Delegates and Super Delegates please cast your votes accordingly.

Weather forecast was not good, and at the beginning of the week it looked as though we might have to abandon our celebration. But God was good! We were able to praise Him together in song and witness that Jesus is Lord. Our speakers, Lindsay Hamon, Steve Curruthers and Gordon Smyth clearly presented the Good news about Jesus' love for us and we were thrilled to have the very gifted singer Maggie Holden singing Your Love changes everything.

I wonder how is it like to see the same world that I see but through your vision.
To see those same smiling faces, how much I dream, in your way not mine, not mine.
To admire how everyone's hair, eyes, skin vary.
But all I see are different shades of grey.
I wonder how it like is to stare the same nature through my friend's vision.
She says the sunset looks beautiful as the color varies everyday.
Sometimes, she says it's
yellow; orange; or even lilac.
yellow; orange; or even lilac.
But all of them are shades of grey for me.
I wonder how it is like to watch fireworks through my brother's vision.
When he notices me; claims that nothing is more than the glowing white moon.
But I know why he says that.
He brings them up to me every morning, says they smell as beautiful as they seem.
He holds my hands and places one petal, claims that it is as red as his love for me.
But all I see is a petal colored darker shade of grey.
I wonder how it is like to figure out colors through my children's vision.
They say they've colored a rainbow card for my birthday; all in shades of grey.
They think it's my obsession 'cause everything I own are grey.
But I was blessed to see everything grey and not aware were they.
I did wonder hours, how it is like to…
But maybe, just maybe, I was gifted to see beauty in different way.
So different that it just made me wonder how it is like to see in the normal light; everyday, every hour, every minute, and even every second till I lived,
Until I closed my eyelids, and that's when I realized how colorful my life could have been,
If only I had realized earlier, how colorful it is to be colorless.
| about the series |
Ever since a kid, I always thought my mother owned a magic pencil and knew how to give life to the tales she recited. Before I was aware of the cartoons, there were characters from my mother's stories that played a vital role in my childhood.
Those tiny glimpses of past held together to constantly push me to jump off the cliff, and believe that there are endless possibilities of surviving that crazy jump. When I realized the magic of those tales, I couldn't wait to create my own characters and bring them to life.
I wanted readers to experience a blend of emotions along this fictional journey. And I do my optimum to make this happen.
Thanks for dropping by! Hope you'll enjoy this series.

Goalkeeper Matej Rakovan has been warned more mistakes like the one that gifted Partick Thistle a late goal at the weekend could cost him the first-team jersey at Dundee United.
That's despite gaffer Csaba Laszlo stressing he believes the Slovakian has impressed in his five appearances so far.
The 28-year-old had turned in a commanding display against the Jags until he fumbled an injury-time cross to let Chris Erskine grab what was only a consolation in United's 3-1 win.
Despite it not affecting the result, with Benjamin Siegrist pushing Rakovan hard, Csaba has pointed out such errors could prove costly.
"I was angry that in the last moment we lost this stupid goal, I have to say this" he said.
"And in this position we have two really good goalkeepers and the pressure is there for both.
"If you make a mistake, you cannot be sure nothing will happen. Matej had a good game, but I want concentration until the last minute.
"For this reason I tell you we have behind him Benjamin Siegrist who is really hot at the moment, really good."
Csaba stressed he wasn't being harsh, just fair to both his goalies. He was pleased that Rakovan was first to admit to the mistake, while his Swiss rival was quick to defend him.
"I have to tell you something to show the team spirit we have. Matej came in the dressing-room and said he made a mistake and I told him my opinion, but who was the first to defend him? It was Benjamin.
"He was the first to say it was OK and it shows although he knows he is the competitor, he defended his own colleague."

Lithium ion batteries are a useful and powerful energy storage option. Commonly used in products ranging from portable electronics to hybrid and electric cars, these batteries show high overall stability and are low maintenance. Lithium ion batteries also display higher charge storage densities and voltages and consistently out-perform typical lead-acid batteries, as the small lithium-ions can pack densely into the anode material.
To further improve battery performance, researchers Chongyin Yang and Ji Chen with co-workers under the direction of Chunsheng Wang at University of Maryland developed a novel graphite lithium ion battery that utilizes high density helper ion packing and a unique water-in-salt electrolyte to achieve a potential of over 4 volts in aqueous batteries. The aqueous nature of their battery is also an advantage, because as the researchers highlight in their report, the intercalation of the helper ions within a water environment "comes with intrinsic safety and environment insensitivity."
