I never knew what face products to use from cleanser to moisturisers. I had no idea what skin type I was until I started college! I always thought I had dry skin as it was so flaky on my forehead, around my nose and sometimes a little on my cheeks! But in fact, it was the face wipes I was using to take my makeup off with had left my skin dehydrated. I have to tell you I was shocked and couldn't believe that was the problem. More so it was difficult to hide these flaky bits as at times my makeup would appear a bit cakey! I actually have more oily skin than dry, mainly around my t-zone and the oily skin was causing my skin to break out. Now by reading this you may think my skin was in bits, but it wasn't that bad.
I stopped using my facewipes to take off my makeup and started to use Simple kind to fresh cleanser and toner, and I moisturised well. I was amazed in the difference my skin is in ever since I have stopped using facewipes. Facewipes to me are literally the devil! I will never go near them again, unless I've been out on a night out or being tired. Having said that my skin can still feel a bit dry but that has got to do with the lack of water intake. I really need to start getting into a healthy buzz! That's also key for having flawless skin which I will go through on another post soon.
Now knowing what skin type I was I really wanted to get a moisturiser that was 'designed' for my skin, personally Nivea is my favourtie brand for moisturiers to shower gels. I really like thick moisturisers but not too thick and the products feel so nice on my skin. Unfortunately, I can never get rid of my oily skin, it's due to an overactive oil gland that I just need to control! I love the size bottle it comes in, I can pop it into my bag to reuse during the day if I'm not wearing any makeup. It cost me roughly €4 I think, I'm not too sure but I know it was cheap enough. It definitely hydrates my skin really well, reduces shine and it gives a fresh feeling to my face. My sister is also doing the same course as myself and since I've switched around my skin care routine she can even notice it!
As I said at the start of the post, it may work differently for you. If your not sure what skin type you are or if you feel your skin is drying out or oily some places, do your research or take a look at the products your using. Are they making your skin irriated thats causing redness? are they drying out your skin? Majority of skin types are oily. If you have any questions feel free to ask! I'm no expert but I certainly know why & how my skin was bad and how I could change it.
What's your favourite moisturiser?
Do you have dry/oily skin?
Do you have dry/oily skin?

I have to create Test Server (Single server with Database on Same Server).
What Kind of Backup should i be asking to Hosting Company,SharePoint MOSS 2007 SP1 Extra net site Hosted by 3rd Party.
How to restore it to Test Server and Has any one documented this process and has anyone had sucess in doing similar work ?
I do not have any access to Production server.How to make sure i have same server setup & configuration as Production Server.
I have to customize this site and do some development work so i thought this would be best approach ?
Please let me know..thanks..

We have a Sharepoint 2007 site collection roughly 36 GB in size and have been having problems moving the site to a new server farm (Also 2007). We are trying the Sharepoint backup and restore method, but I understand that this method is not recommended
for sites over 5GB. Has anyone moved a site of this size and how did you do it?
Thanks Ron
Hi Guys,
when i opened my site am getting following error, but moss 2007 server is Licensed Verison.
Thanks Advanced.
Hi All,
I have created dummy database, Table in SQL Server 2005 with some values.
Iam able to pull data from the SQL database to sharepoint dataview webpart through data connection using sharepoint desigher.
Now i have to enter new record in to SQL table through sharepoint. i have checked with sharepoint designer but unable get it done.
Can some one have idea on this. Please help me to get it done
Thanks in Advance.
... and the catch is that the MOSS 2007 Site Collection is contained in the SharePoint Central Administration v3 Web Application and therefore the SharePoint_AdminContent_... database which is used by Central Administration (not my doing btw). Please
let me know how to copy it to a new 2010 server farm and then upgrade just our sites and content while removing all of the 2007 Central Administration stuff.
The database server which our sharepoint installation is currently using is going to be shutdown and a new one is going to be put in production.
I read in some post that the configuration database cannot be moved (while the same operation type is documented for content database). Is this correct?
Isn't there a way by which I can modify my current moss installation to define the use of another sql server for configuration (and then later for content) databases?
Any other workaround or procedure?
Thank you!
I am getting "Error in PortalCrawl Web Service.
" error while crawling people [SSP] on MOSS 2007 box from Sharepoint 2010 box.
NOTE: I am able to crawl People i.e SSP application on other MOSS 2007 box successfully by following same steps which i am using to crawl above mentioned SSP which is giving error.
If anyone has faced similar error ,please suggest.
We are migrating our SharePoint databases to a new database server. This new database server will have a new name for SharePoint to reference. How do I go about pointing SharePoint 2007 from the old database server name to the
new name?
It seems like there should be a simple solution, but I have yet to find a solid procedure.
Thank you,
- Tom
I'm done with the installation of our new SharePoint Server 2007 but i was not able to find its config database. Can you please help me locate it? We are running SQL Server 2005.

Acid Reflux
You've seen the commercials and you've heard the guarantees. You've tried the remedies and you've waited for results. Despite your efforts, your acid reflux still casts a looming, painful presence over your life. You may think there are no options left and this agonizing condition is a permanent fixture. If you suffer from GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), a new way to fight and win your reflux battle is now available at Shannon— the LINX® procedure.
What is GERD?
The LES (lower esophageal sphincter) is the body's natural reflux barrier. When functioning properly, the reflux barrier opens to allow you to swallow and closes to prevent stomach acid from traveling up the esophagus. When you have GERD—20 percent of the population does—the reflux barrier is weak and allows the harmful acid to flow back into your esophagus.
Several common symptoms of GERD are heartburn, regurgitation, nausea, and chronic chest pain.
Acid-reducing medications, known as PPI's (proton pump inhibitors), are often prescribed to treat GERD. These medicines might make you feel better, but we are learning that medication might not be the best solution to GERD. Medications will only treat the symptoms of reflux by making the stomach acid less acidic, but they do not treat the reflux itself. Even with medication, your symptoms can worsen, and they might become less and less effective over time.
Another area of concern for those taking medication for GERD is research showing a significant increase in esophageal cancer cases. Esophageal cancer is the fastest growing cancer in America over the last 30 years, and the biggest increase correlates to the use of PPI medications.
The LINX Procedure
When medication therapy is ineffective, or if you are interested in stopping these potentially dangerous pills, LINX may be the next step for permanent GERD relief. LINX is a ring of magnetic, expandable titanium beads the size of a quarter. During the laparoscopic procedure, the ring is implanted around the LES, close to the stomach opening.
The LINX is strong enough to constrict the LES, closing the passageway to keep stomach acid down. The added benefit, especially compared to traditional anti-reflux surgery, is that the ring is weak enough to open up when you perform normal bodily functions such as swallowing or vomiting.
The minimally invasive procedure does not require a hospital stay and patients can eat a regular diet the same day. Afterward, 90 percent of patients are completely off all reflux medication within a year. It has also been proven to be much safer than every other existing reflux surgery currently available, with over 6,000 successful cases performed around the world.
Reflux Clinic
If you suffer from GERD, call the Shannon Reflux Clinic to set up an appointment and discuss your options with a surgeon. The Shannon Reflux Clinic is a multi-disciplinary clinic. Surgeons and GI physicians work together to manage your reflux with medications or surgery. LINX may be the right option for you.
LINX is covered by most insurance providers. Self-referrals are accepted. For more information, call 325.658.1511.

Periodic Sketches
Sketching is one of those essential things that I try to do everyday but time doesn't always permit or I become distracted for one reason or another. I usually start the day with a cup of java and listen to NPR news events to get the body warmed up and the brain functioning. As I enter the studio, I inspect my surroundings as I left it the previous evening. The computers are all warmed up, so I check my e-mail for possible messages or unanswered e-mails to send. After about five minutes on the internet I look for whatever sketchbook, pencil and kneaded eraser are within easy reach. I sit down and stare at the blank page and wonder what I will conjure up today. On some days this is easier than others. If I need to, I will start with some simple doodles and this gradually leads to more complex sketches. I really enjoy the tactile feel of the pencil on the paper because so much of my finished work ends up on the computer. When I do have a day or reach a point when the muse is speaking to me, I stick with my drawing until it is completed or I just become tired because it isn't always easy to return to this ideal state of drawing. If I am distracted or just not in the mood for drawing I will concentrate on another aspect of my illustration career.

New Project Completed
I just completed some full colored electronic artwork for Houghton & Mifflin and Pearson Scott Foresman. These projects were exciting and required a colorful style for the publishers. I usually start each project with contacting the client and establishing a way to communicate such as e-mail and telephone. I will send the client two to three roughs before going to finish. I always send an invoice or contract to prevent any future problems. Both of these projects went smoothly except for the rush required for the completed work.

Welcome to the world's leading forum on Multiple Sclerosis research, support, and knowledge. For over 10 years, This is MS has provided an unbiased community dedicated to Multiple Sclerosis patients, caregivers, and affected loved ones.
which gives us an idea at last of whats in it.Association of Expanded Disability Status Scale and Cytokines after Intervention with Co-supplemented Hemp Seed, Evening Primrose Oils and Hot-natured Diet in Multiple Sclerosis Patients
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Because of limited efficacy and adverse side effects, identifying novel therapeutic and protective agents is important. The aim of this study is to examine the correlations between expanded disability status scale (EDSS) and cytokines after intervention with co-supplemented hemp seed and evening primrose oils and hotnatured diet in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Methods: We studied a group of 23 patients with clinically definite RRMS, with EDSS<6 who received co-supplemented hemp seed and evening primrose oils with advising hot-natured diet.
Clinically EDSS and immunological factors (plasma cytokines of IL-4, IFN-γ and IL-17) were assessed at baseline and after 6 months. Results: Mean follow-up was 180±2.9 days (N=23, 7 Male and 16 Females aged 25.0±7.5 years with disease duration 6.26±3.9 years). After 6 months, significant improvements in extended disability status score were found in the patients in agreement with decrease cytokines of IFN-γ and IL-17 and increase cytokines of IL-4. Clinical and immunological parameters showed improvement in the patients after the intervention. Conclusion: Our study shows that co-supplemented hemp seed and evening primrose oils with hot-natured diet can have beneficial effects in improving clinical symptoms in relapsing remitting MS patients and significant correlation was found between EDSS and immunological finding
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to MS
Society for the recruitment of patients. This work was
supported by Research Deputy of Tabriz University of
Medical Sciences (25% of grants) to run the project and
Mrs. Soheila Rezapour-Firouzi (75% of grants) for the
preparation of the herbal oils.

Rating of 2/4
A gruesome and grimy looking slasher that focuses entirely on the killer. The intent is to show the killer's mental illness, and to a point I guess it does shine the maniac spotlight on him, but all I ever got from his psyche was a troubled past with an abusive mother. The slayings are graphic, disturbing, and sleazy, with very detailed effects work adding to the grossness. I find the whole film to be an empty, but effectively sickening experience. Take that however you like.

Snapshots In My Time, Of My Time.....Hauntings.
Summer Science Projects--Shadow Boxes Republished.
Kids need something to do!
Summer 1969
My mother was a school teacher for 35 years. When school was out her "teacher mode" did not fade to black. It continued on with my brother and I. We had to read 3 books a week for required reading. More if we had time. The mobile library came to our neighborhood each week so the books were endless. In addition to reading we had lots of educational games to play and we also had a large science lab complete with bunson burners, beakers and protective eye goggles. Let's not forget the recipe book of science experiments. While our friends were outside playing ALL day, we were outside PART of the day. The rest was spent inside "being educational."
One of the things my brother and I did was try to get ready for the upcoming year by making a few science projects in advance. My favorite thing to make was shadow boxes. Shoe boxes made the best shadow boxes. I would cover the inside with contruction paper to highlite whatever I was showcasing. The items to be shown off were glued to the bottom with elmer's glue and saran wrap was the cover. They always looked good when I got done.
I loved to showcase lichen and mushrooms. The would maintain their brillant colors all summer and always got me an "A!" I would glue a plush green layer of moss to the botton of the shoe box, glue in the mushrooms and lichen and soon I had a small fungus microcosm.
One other item that was a big hit in science was skeletons. What skeletons? Well let me tell you. My mother was a big pickle eater back when I was small. She would buy pickles by the big gallon jar. A few jars would wind up in the garage stacked for a rainy day when we might need a jar for something. One summer I notice a frog that had been run over by a car all except for one leg. It was black and flat everywhere else. The one leg that was not roadkill was covered with ants. I looked closer and it seemed to me the ants were eating that leg. Pieces of it were being carried off by a thin stream of ants that led off to the shoulder of the road.
I ran to get a pickle jar and a small shovel. I dug up the ant nest and put it in the pickle jar. I filled the jar about 1/2 full. A few itchy stings later, I had an ant farm. I let the ants sit for about a week and get adjusted to their new surroundings. My brother did the same thing. Then we each caught one frog and one lizard. Not in the same week of course. We would place the frog or lizard in the ant farm. It was survival of the fittest for that frog or lizard. Sounds a little cruel but we were kids and only in the 3rd grade. We were young scientists!
Well, in about an hour that frog or lizard was entirely covered in black ants and was no longer moving, jumping or hopping. There may be a blink or two of an eye but that was all. The jars would again be left to sit for a week. After a week or two we would have a perfectly whole frog or lizard skeleton. Depending on the placement we would be able to lift the skelton out whole. If not we would crack open the jar with a small mallet to get the sleleton out.
The skeleton would be gleaming white and picked clean to the bone. Next we would shellac the skeleton, let it dry and then mount it in the shadow box. The ants were returned to the yard. My brother and I only made one frog and lizard skeleton a piece, per summer. Once in the shadow boxes those skeletons waited until the perfect day to take to school for show and tell or a special science project.

Swimsuit – Private Party / Mesh top – Factorie
Hey guys! I'm feeling a lot better today, I finally managed to wake up at 7am and go for a coastal walk. I've been wanting to do that every day but I just couldn't get out of bed. I've put alarm my clock on 7am for the past 5 days but every single time snoozed until 12 haha. I love waking up early but it's so hard for me, I'm not a morning person at all but I'm trying to get into that routine. It's just so amazing to wake up early, go for a beach walk and then enjoy a good breakfast 🙂
About my lips: my upper lip is still soo swollen, I have dark blue bruises on and around my lips. And I look like a duck. I'm freaking out, can this swelling go down please, like yesterday. Thank you haha
We are going shopping with Marleen now, someone has her birthday this weekend so we have to find her an outfit to wear. Gotta go now! x

The Use of Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 for the Repair of Extraction Socket Defects: A Technical Modification and Case Series Report
Craig M. Misch, DDS, MDS
Purpose: The purpose of this case series was to evaluate the use of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) in an absorbable collagen sponge (ACS) carrier for the repair of significant bone defects following tooth removal. The surgical technique was modified because primary closure was not obtained over the grafted sockets. Materials and Methods: The present series included 10 consecutively treated patients with failed endodontically treated maxillary central incisors. Computed tomographic scans were obtained preoperatively. The extraction sockets all had > 50% buccal bone loss. The sockets were grafted with rhBMP-2/ACS and a small amount of bone substitute. Dental implants were inserted after 4 to 6 months of healing. Results: Healing of the grafted sockets was uneventful. Dental implants were placed in all grafted sites without the need for further bone augmentation. A comparison of preoperative and postgrafting computed tomographic scans found a slight loss in alveolar width at the crest of 1.07 mm. Connective tissue grafts were placed in five patients. All 10 implants integrated well and were restored with single crowns. Conclusions: The use of rhBMP-2/ACS was effective in repairing osseous defects prior to implant placement. The lack of primary closure over the graft did not appear to complicate healing or compromise bone growth. This modification simplifies the technique and may reduce postoperative morbidity caused by flap manipulation. Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants 2010;25:12461252
Key words: bone graft, dental implants, extraction socket, recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2

Google and Twitter spend
Tower Hamlets has spent a lot of money on Google and Twitter. Yet when I was blocked on Twitter along with a number of other people they did not even reply to people asking questions. What has Tower Hamlets got to hide? I have put in a request for information.
Jowell is right
I am not a Labour or Jowell supporter but she is right on Tower Hamlets.

Questions for Lutfur donors
It seems that the Judge is asking serious questions along with others about those who have donated to Lutfur Rahman. The ChyTel owner does not live in Tower Hamlets.

The Mail has the details of the five people arrested in East London and they are from Tower Hamlets.
Pickles is right
I agree with Sir Eric Pickles on the comparsion between Rotherham and Tower Hamlets. It is good he is now taking action. A crime is a crime and people should not hide behind multiculturalism. Everyone should be equal and treated the same. In Tower Hamlets no one has really been punished besides Lutfur and Alibor.

Jack The Ripper Museum link
I have read and wrote a number of times about the Jack The Ripper Museum in Tower Hamlets but I had not been able to find a link. The people in and out of Tower Hamlets who talked about this failed to provide a link for people to check.

We will find out very soon if it is in Tower Hamlets.

Data investigation
I welcome the call for a investigation into data protection breach by Tower Hamlets Homes. We also need ones into Calders Wharf and the Tower Hamlets First Nazi.
Silly mistake
Tower Hamlets made a silly mistake by not telling the media which school people were sent to. The fact is this is something the media can easily find out due to social media.

Back in February, it was announced that Starbreeze (the developer behind The Darkness) would be partnering with Electronic Arts to revive one of EA's classic franchises for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. What franchise that would be wasn't revealed at the time, but according to a rumor being floated by CVG, it's none other than Bullfrog's cult favorite PC series, Syndicate.
As CVG reports, a "secret agent" has tipped them off that EA is getting set to reveal the Syndicate revival soon. There are really no other details besides that, so take this info with a healthy amount of incredulity for now.
Syndicate, if you're unaware, was a PC game developed by Bullfrog and released in 1993. It put players in control of a corporation in a "cyperpunk" future world, where they controlled a team of cyborgs as they attempted to assassinate rivals from other syndicates and rescue captured allies. A sequel, Syndicate Wars, was released in 1996.
Taking into account what could be done graphics wise these days and the fact that Syndicate wars was hailed for its narrative, we could be in for a treat.

When eighteen-year-old Mia Graham runs away, she thinks she's left the memory of the most horrible night of her life behind her. But the past isn't done with her yet, no matter how far she runs. Now she's faced with a tough and confusing decision and has no idea what to do.
Then along comes Aiden Kincaid, quiet and withdrawn. From the moment he crosses paths with Mia, he is instantly intrigued by her.
Mia promised herself she would never trust another man again, though, and Aiden still harbors guilt from a tragic accident and never wanted anyone else in his life. Neither of them is looking for love. But fate has different plans.
Will Mia and Aiden give into their fears and continue to let their pasts control them, or will they realize that sometimes fate steps in and sends you the person you never knew you were looking for?

Below is a short piece from one of my regular outdoor class students who's made some fantastic progress over the last 6 months.
Great work James!
"Two years ago I was in an accident which ended me with a broken collar bone, since then I've not been able to get back the strength I once had in that arm and it affected my every day life. Since I've been practicing parkour with Brad and Southend Parkour, I feel my muscular strength, endurance and overall fitness has sky-rocketed. I'm now able to hold my entire body weight with my injured arm and last sunday I completed my first OCR.
Brad has been a huge supporter in helping people reach their targets and he is a great influence to better myself. A year ago today I would not have dreamed to have finished a 7km run and the only reason I hit the finish line is because Southend Parkour has helped me to push myself harder and has given me confidence in myself to do better."

Job Training
Years ago when I was hired by the phone company as a service representative, I went through the company's intense nine week training program. The course was so difficult that at least thirty percent of those who start it would never complete it. If they had put me at a desk without proper training, I wouldn't have known how to answer any of the questions asked of me. I also wouldn't have been able to assist those who wanted an extension on paying their bill, nor could I assist those who needed to set up new phone service or a transfer of service to a new residence. Only as I was diligent to get that training deeply imbedded, was I able to assist and instruct my customers.
As Christians, we are supposed to let the Word have its home in our hearts and minds. The Word of God is to dwell in us richly. Only as we get the Word deep inside us are we able to fulfill the commands to admonish, teach, train, and encourage on another. (I Thessalonians 5:11; Colossians 3:16)
On my job, I needed to be thoroughly equipped to handle the myriad of requests that customers had over the course of a day. Every day finds us facing new challenges and new requests of people. We need to be confident that we have taken the time for correct training so that we handle these situations correctly. God's Word is our training manual – useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness so that we are thoroughly equipped.
As wives, mothers, and Christian women, we are constantly being called on for help. It may be in dealing with a discipline issue, or it might be in how to help a sister whose husband has been unfaithful. It may be in how to help our husband during a stressful time at work. We must daily set priorities for the things on our to-do list. If we haven't been getting proper 'job training' from the Word, we will easily be led astray by our emotions, rather than responding the way God desires. Our priorities will be out of kilter, and our flesh will rule our day, rather than our spirit.
Do you need more job training?

Back when we were doing infertility treatment, there was a lot I didn't like about it (no one should ever have to have that many conversations with strangers while in stirrups, for starters). One of the worst things for me was the dehumanizing way we were treated by our clinic. Instead of two people with a unique set of issues, we were reduced to age, diagnosis, and statistics.
While we stopped short of IVF, it remains the infertility treatment of choice for most couples despite its expense. It's upwards of $10,000 a cycle and little to none of the cost is covered by insurance. We couldn't imagine risking that much money, not to mention all our battered hopes and dreams, on something that at best has 50-50 odds. So I cheered the news that a new test offers, if not hope, at least answers for couples whose first IVF failed.
Researchers from Stanford University developed a computer model that predicts a couple's chances of success with IVF with more than a thousand times greater accuracy than the way fertility clinics do it now, which is essentially only based on a woman's age and no other factors.
The researchers identified 52 factors that play into whether or not IVF works, based on profiles of more than 2,000 procedures, and created a computer model to predict chances of further success. Interestingly, in half the cases their model was more optimistic about a couple's chance of conceiving than the age-based model was. It only works for cases in which the couple has already had at least one failed IVF because the data from that cycle is crucial in figuring out the chances of future success.
This should not be such a revelation, that one 35-year-old's body is not the same as another, but that's how most fertility clinics behave. If you've suffered the crushing disappointment of a failed IVF cycle, I would think knowing your chances of success would go a long way toward deciding to keep going or to build your family another way.
Did you do IVF? Would you have welcomed this test?

General Education Program
Courses that are listed in two or more general education designations will only count in one requirement area. (e.g., ANTHRO 100 is listed as being approved as Global Culture (GC) and Social Sciences (SOC), however it will only count once, as GC or SOC. If questions contact email@example.com
The UWGB General Education Program supports the University's Select Mission by providing an interdisciplinary, problem-focused educational experience that prepares students to think critically and address complex issues in a multicultural and evolving world.
To that end, the UWGB General Education Program will help to develop liberally educated students and facilitate their living in an ever changing world by:
1. Introducing students to interdisciplinary education;
2. Providing knowledge that includes disciplinary breadth;
3. Working with students to develop an understanding of critical social problems;
4. Supporting the development of important academic skills including communication, critical thinking, problem solving and quantitative and information literacy.
The general education program gives students an opportunity to strengthen academic skills, broaden intellectual horizons, develop and explore new academic interests, reflect on personal values, and build a foundation of knowledge for future course work and lifelong learning.
Learning Outcomes
All students who graduate from UW-Green Bay should achieve the following content and skill-based learning outcomes listed here.
Students will:
- have an understanding of the importance of interdisciplinary thinking and why it can be a more effective way to understand and address problems and issues. Students will develop the ability to think in an interdisciplinary way with the ability to incorporate two or more disciplinary perspectives when addressing a problem particular within the context of their major/minor program.
- have the ability to exercise problem solving skills such as problem identification and analysis, solution formulation and implementation, and assessment.
- determine the nature and extent of the information needed; access needed information effectively and efficiently; evaluate information and its sources critically; use information effectively to accomplish a specific purpose; and understand the many economic, legal, and social issues surrounding the use of information and access and use information ethically and legally.
- have the ability to communicate effectively through listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
- understand the role quantitative thinking plays in solving communicating information about real world problems and relationships such as interpreting and communicating quantitative information from graphs, tables, schematics, etc.
- have a fundamental understanding of the causes and effects of stereotyping and racism and an appreciation of cultural diversity in the United States.
- have a fundamental understanding of contemporary global issues and problems related to multiculturalism and ethnocentrism, through the study of beliefs, values, and ways of life in a country other than the United States.
- be able to critically analyze the concept of sustainability and its three pillars (economic security, social equity, and ecological responsibility) and the way this concept is applied and used (adopted from UW-Oshkosh).
- have a fundamental understanding of one or more of the fine arts including an understanding of the nature and functions of art and ways of evaluating art.
- become familiar with the humanities' unique ways of understanding major events and movements in Western and world civilizations by critically examining a range of literary, philosophical, and other cultural texts produced by those movements, thereby helping to clarify individual and social values within cultures and the implications of decisions made on the basis of those values. Students' understanding will be demonstrated by their ability to analyze and produce complex forms of expression.
- have a fundamental understanding of natural/physical and biological sciences including major concepts, principles and theories as well as an understanding of the natural/biological sciences' unique ways of knowing.
- have a fundamental understanding of the unique ways of knowing within the social sciences as well as major concepts, impacts, and values of at least two of the designated social sciences.

Friends! In Wild Terra there are many new players and they often make mistakes while protecting their territory, we want to recall important game mechanics.
- Be sure to build walls from ALL sides of your dominium territory along the perimeter. Players can appear anywhere on the map outside your dominion, even if the area is fenced by water. This is not a bug, the player can respawn here at random resurrection, when pushing out of the dominium zone, when creating a new character.
- We do not prohibit enclosing additional territory by using water, but you must understand that other players can access your additional territory outside the dominium at any time by creating passes by us. We create passes to the fenced areas, if a player has got there and can not get out of there, or there appears a treasure chest and can not get it. Other players should not suffer from your additional territories.
Enjoy the game!

A new female-founded eCommerce startup called ManServants offers an alternative to male strippers: attractive male servants to wait on customers hand and foot.
The man servant isn't an escort, and the services offered do not include sex. But the website does allow customers to pick out the guy's look, conduct and duties -- whether it's being the designated driver, serving drinks at a party or carrying home the groceries.
Companies have been using sex to sell products for a long time, but ManServants is just one of a new wave of sex-themed startups relatively new to the market.
While ManServants isn't selling sex itself, the idea is present. Here are four more startups that swing the same way.
Formerly known as Bang With Friends, this startup has an app called DOWN that connects to Facebook (although promises not to post anything) and allows users to swipe through their friends list. They can choose to either "get date" or "get down."
Similar to Tinder, DOWN won't alert the other person unless the choice is mutual between both parties. Recent updates have allowed users to also browse friends of friends.
Although this startup is based on looking solely at physical attractiveness, its founder claims that he wants it to empower women.

Say It With A Condom
Tired of old-fashioned, washed-up marketing techniques? So is this startup. Say It With A Condom provides "an alternative marketing platform to advance strategic messages."
We couldn't agree more RT @brilliant_ads: A lot of well known company slogans would be suitable for condom packaging: pic.twitter.com/xM78b3Gshw
— Say It With A Condom (@withacondom) June 5, 2014
Create your own custom condom wrappers out of regular, foil or matchbook-style packaging. There's also an option to shop pre-made designs, which include "I'm kind of a big deal" and "Hey, I just met you & this is crazy…"
The startup was founded in 2008, after its founder saw huge success in putting the likenesses of Barack Obama and John McCain on condom packaging with the message, "Remember The Election With Your Next Erection."
Ashley Madison
This is the Internet startup for having affairs. Ashley Madison bills itself as the "world's leading married dating service for discreet encounters." It was founded in 2002 and claims to have more than 11 million members in 15 countries.
Users start by selecting their interests from a dropdown list (attached male seeking female, male seeking males, etc.), and are then taken to a page where they create a profile. From there, the process is similar to a regular dating website, where users browse profiles and connect with those who strike their fancy.
Related Link: Banana Republic Creates 'Startup Guy' Look
Ashley Madison also has a blog that features articles like "Men Not Bothered by the Idea of Wives' Infidelity" and "Neighborhood Affairs: Where in Kansas City do the Cheaters Prosper?"
Serial entrepreneur, TED speaker and U.S. branch of Bartle Bogle Hegarty advertising firm founder Cindy Gallop likes to date younger men, according to Fast Company.
She launched her startup, MakeLoveNotPorn.com, as a counter to porn being used for sex education among younger generations. The website says that it is not meant to judge and not necessarily anti-porn, just that it is intended to "help inspire and stimulate open, healthy conversations about sex and pornography."
"It used to be that maybe a kid found his dad's Playboy magazine," Gallop said in an interview with Mashable. "Now, it's 8-year-olds who don't go looking for porn; they're shown a picture on somebody's cellphone in the playground, or they Google 'penis' and they're one or two clicks away from something they never expected to find — it's really innocent."

Dona and Lorraine has been raving about The Wine Room (which is a part of Balgowlah RSL Club) for a very long time but we only managed to get ourselves there recently.
A realistic image of a fireplace in the middle of Australian summer? Really? Anyway, we had a glass of bubbly before dinner, sitting down and watching the flames dance while catching up with friends.
They have nice vegetarian options at The Wine Room. Here's what we had:
Starter no 1: Fried zucchini flowers, goat's cheese, basil and tomato cardamom chutney (above).
Starter no 2: Grilled haloumi, preserved lemon and cherry tomatoes (above).
Our main course was roast pumpkin, leek and labne tart, Roma tomato, rocket and dukkah (above).
Lorraine and I didn't have dessert: we had port instead but this is John's Creme Brulee.

ETHIOPIA-ERITREA BORDER – Badme doesn't look like the most dangerous town in Africa.
Marooned at the end of 20 miles of dirt road, the tiny frontier outpost consists of a knot of rock huts, some jaywalking goats and one communal pingpong table. Not the sort of place, one would imagine, that once inspired 70,000 men to die in battle. Or still destabilizes a chunk of territory inhabited by 90 million people. Or gives U.S. policymakers in Africa the jitters.
Yet remote little Badme, the flash point of a brutal territorial conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea in the late 1990s, is responsible for all of these woes. And, today, experts worry that the contested town, which is claimed by both countries but controlled by Ethiopia, may be poised to spark even worse trouble ahead – namely, Africa's next major war.
While the U.S. military is focusing much of its attention in Africa on anti-terror efforts in places like Somalia, old hostilities between Ethiopia and Eritrea appear to be heating up on an arid plateau a few hundred miles to the north, with potentially devastating consequences for the people of Africa's Horn. Archenemies Ethiopia and Eritrea insist that renewed fighting along their desolate 620-mile-long common border is not imminent.
But diplomats, security experts and U.N. officials warn that recent saber-rattling by the two nations' leaders, beefed-up troop deployments along their heavily fortified border and even the timing of the U.S. presidential elections are all pushing tensions in the wrong direction – toward a showdown so bloody it will knock Darfur out of the headlines.
Western diplomats suspect that Ethiopia, the Goliath of the two opponents, is sorely tempted to deliver a killer blow against its smaller rival before the Bush administration, a close Ethiopian ally, leaves office at the beginning of 2009. Last year, Ethiopia invaded Somalia and, with clandestine Pentagon help, toppled an emerging Islamist movement accused of sheltering al-Qaida operatives.
And though tiny Eritrea has more to risk in going to war, experts say its deepening isolation from the world doesn't preclude its launching a pre-emptive strike. One bleak scenario: an assault on contested territory in November, when an exasperated boundary commission set up by the U.N. packs up after years of Ethiopian stonewalling, and declares the two countries' border officially mapped.
"I don't want to be here if it happens," said Tsegaye Redaye, a sad-eyed merchant in Badme whose tea shop's construction included expended tank shells from the previous war.
"But I guess there won't be anywhere to run to," he added, squinting out at the gaunt plains that both governments call their own. "The war will be everywhere."
Most military analysts would agree.
In the bloody 1998-2000 conflict, tens of thousands of Ethiopian and Eritrean soldiers died in a ghastly World War I-style trench war that baffled the world. Still, the bloodshed finally was stanched by foreign mediation. Now, after seven years of failed U.N. negotiations, experts say the sole object of the opposing armies will be regime change: a battle to the finish. Nearby Somalia would be sucked into the chaos and violence, analysts say.
"In a post-9/11 world, that's what worries Washington," said Dan Connell, an Ethiopia-Eritrea war expert at Simmons College in Boston. "If either state were to fall, it would open up the Horn to all sorts of power vacuums and outside forces, including international terrorists. It could get very ugly."
Such ugliness was nowhere on the horizon a decade ago, when Ethiopia and Eritrea symbolized all the promise of a shining new Africa.
Back then, Ethiopia had just thrown off the yoke of a ruthless communist regime and agreed to let a breakaway province – feisty Eritrea – become independent. The two governments were brothers in arms. Their leaders, Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki and Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, are even distantly related. But struggles to be top dog in the Horn, plus bitter economic and territorial quarrels, culminated in a family feud waged with artillery.
Today, human-rights groups accuse both regimes of democratic backsliding.
Ethiopia, the regional powerhouse with 76 million people, has been roundly criticized for sentencing more than 30 opposition activists and politicians to life imprisonment after a disputed 2005 election. The prisoners were pardoned in July.
The charges leveled at Eritrea are more serious. This year, the U.S. State Department added minuscule Eritrea, population about 4 million, to its blacklist of the world's most repressive regimes, largely because of reported crackdowns on journalists, political dissenters and evangelical Christians.
Impoverished Ethiopia and Eritrea maintain the largest armies in Africa. At the moment, well over 100,000 soldiers from both countries are dug in along their joint frontier.
On July 30, the U.N. Security Council voted unanimously to extend a weak peacekeeping mission of 1,700 international troops on the border for another six months. Both sides have agreed to meet in September and wrangle over issues of demarcation. Few diplomats expect a breakthrough.
"Rationally, we would never believe Eritrea will take that step – to restart the war," said Tekeda Alemu, the deputy minister for foreign affairs in Ethiopia. "Yet, why does the Eritrean president behave as he does, except to say he has an emotional, visceral opposition to this country's government?"
Like many Ethiopians, Tekeda alleges that Eritrea's bad behavior includes terrorist activities. On July 25, a leaked U.N. investigation fingered Eritrea for reportedly flying 13 planeloads of arms to Islamic militants battling Ethiopian troops in Somalia.
Eritrea hotly denies the charges that it is exporting mischief to bleed Ethiopia.
"It's part of the smear campaign coming out of Langley," Eritrean Information Minister Ali Abdu said, referring to the Virginia hometown of the CIA headquarters. "It's just another face of the war against Eritrea."

The Orchid House by Lucinda Riley
Genre: Contemporary Fiction / Historical Fiction
Rating: ** (out of 5)
Recommended for: fans of Kate Morton, people who like books about multi-generational family secrets
Received uncorrected e-galley through NetGalley.
Back-cover summary:
A debut spanning from the 1930s to the present day, from a magnificent estate in war-torn England to Thailand, this sweeping novel tells the tale of a concert pianist, Julia, and the prominent Crawford family whose shocking secrets are revealed, leading to devastating consequences for generations to come.
As a child Julia Forrester spent many idyllic hours in the hothouse of Wharton Park, the great house where her grandfather tended exotic orchids. Years later, while struggling with overwhelming grief over the death of her husband and young child, she returns to the tranquility of the estate. There she reunites with Kit Crawford, heir to the estate and her possible salvation.
When they discover an old diary, Julia seeks out her grandmother to learn the truth behind a love affair that almost destroyed Wharton Park. Their search takes them back to the 1930s when a former heir to Wharton Park married his young society bride on the eve of World War II. When the two lovers are cruelly separated, the impact will be felt on generations to come.
My review:
I ended up liking the characters and plot of this book more than I expected when I started reading. The book jumps back and forth between the present and recollections from two generations back and deftly spins a story that reveals hidden connections, secrets, and parallels between many of the characters. There are repeated themes of dealing with the grief of losing loved ones, the conflict between love and duty, and the strong bond of family. The settings are lovely, featuring an English country estate and exotic, lush Thailand. All of the story lines wrap up nicely, maybe a little too nicely, but it left me with a feeling of satisfaction.
Unfortunately, the weak writing takes away significantly from this book's potential. The worst part is the dialogue, and the characters talk too much for this to be overlooked. There's a lot of uninspired dialogue. There's an extreme overuse of ellipses. But worst of all is when the author is trying to make the characters sound a certain way, and that character's dialogue alternates between normal English and something unrealistic and exaggerated. For example, the two French-speaking characters demonstrate their French-ness by constantly adding "n'est-ce pas?" to their sentences. And Lidia, a formerly wealthy Thai woman supposedly educated by the British, mostly speaks in the stereotypical Asian way ("I get pay rise too, so my family very happy.") but occasionally lapses into regular English, saying things like "Now I must leave you, as I have new guests arriving very soon." For a character who typically can't remember to put verbs in sentences, a sentence like "I would have to ask Madame" shows pretty good mastery of verb conjugation. It's also hard to deal with Kit, a contemporary character, saying things like, "Whilst I concoct the pasta sauce, I shall pour our my troubles to you."
As a storyteller, Lucinda Riley has potential. Hopefully with her future books, she can overcome the challenge of writing convincing dialogue. I was ultimately glad I didn't give up on this book, but there were many points while reading where it was tempting to do so.

LeetCode – Paint House (Java)
There are a row of n houses, each house can be painted with one of the three colors: red, blue or green. The cost of painting each house with a certain color is different. You have to paint all the houses such that no two adjacent houses have the same color.
The cost of painting each house with a certain color is represented by a n x 3 cost matrix. For example, costs[0][0] is the cost of painting house 0 with color red; costs[1][2] is the cost of painting house 1 with color green, and so on... Find the minimum cost to paint all houses.
Java Solution
A typical DP problem.
public int minCost(int[][] costs) { if(costs==null||costs.length==0) return 0; for(int i=1; i<costs.length; i++){ costs[i][0] += Math.min(costs[i-1][1], costs[i-1][2]); costs[i][1] += Math.min(costs[i-1][0], costs[i-1][2]); costs[i][2] += Math.min(costs[i-1][0], costs[i-1][1]); } int m = costs.length-1; return Math.min(Math.min(costs[m][0], costs[m][1]), costs[m][2]); }
