This is red lippy to die for. I would love to try as the 'inner-siren' is feeling a bit less than the one she was one since hitting middle age. It does however look great on more mature women I have to say also Givenchy is a brand that is at the top of its game for premium quality and shade.
P. S I would love it even more if it were not animal tested. I hope it isn't.
I've got mine after second attempt and I'm so excited to try it out🥰 . Looks so gorgeous and luxurious. It's not a 🍅 red ladies. I promise you will fell in love if you like colours🌈. Thank you Debenhams and Givenchy💋
Was really looking forward to this one and went as soon as I recueve my email however they had all gone as emails had gone out to everyone else sooner. The lady advised to come back today for the next delivery so I went in store again today to be told we dont get more than one delivery. What a waste of journey and time. I think these should be posted out.
I wasn't sure I was going to be able to wake up today as I was working until 9:45pm last night making sure patients get their chemotherapy.
But I was lucky and got to Debenhams at 9:00 and when I reached the fragrance counter, the lady was putting on some make up. I said morning softly so she doesn't get scared and mess up her make up. She turned around and I was like don't worry finish it and then I asked her for the beauty club card sample. She was like I was just testing it on myself and you are lucky you came early in the morning as only a few were left. I went home and tested it on myself.
1st of all it looks so LUSH!
2nd - it smells lovely
3rd - it looks great and doesn't dry the lips.
I hope everyone was as lucky as I was. Thank you Givenchy and Debenhams 💄
Woo hoo got my Givenchy sample today also vial samples of YSL Libre Chanel Gabrelle, Dior Joy, Lancome Idole. 2 Clarins samples restorative night creams. Very productive day i think.
Thank you,
I've got my one yesterday.
Picked my Le Rouge Lipstick 3G - GIVENCHY lippie today. Absolutely love it. Had it on all day my lips didn't dry out. The matt looks so lush. Defs considering buying a full size when this one runs out. But what a generous sample. Thanks Debenhams beauty club. Defs one of the best loyalty schemes to date
I got one. It's lovely
Well. I normally miss out. However, this time I went in to collect my order from my local Debenams and be hold! I managed to grab one of the last 2 beauty boxes. Thank you so much Givenchy and Debenams, absolutely love this lipstick 💄. #givenchy le rouge lipstick.😍😍😍😍
Is this still avaliable? TIA
Called into Bolton store today but unfortunately they had all gone. Such a shame as it looked a fantastic freebie
Called into Nottingham store on Friday late afternoon to pay my Debenhams bill, samples had not been delivered.
Called to Chesterfield store on Saturday, they hadn't been delivered there yet!
I Called to Sheffield store On Sunday, all samples Gone🙈 I don't drive around to different Debenhams in the search for samples, my job takes me to different locations👍
Can't blame a girl for trying! Either, there wasn't as many of these lipsticks distributed to stores as previous beauty club card samples or they went super quickly. Oh I nearly forgot that id called to Meadowhall store today, no samples left 😭 so enjoy your lipstick if you were lucky enough to get one💄🙏 as I really tried my best!!
Hello to our beautiful @TazK and all Beauties,
Finally, I have my first ever Beauty Box💅🏼 and it feels therapeutic 💆🏻♀
It's new on me but it's a really a part of me now that probably in next few days I will run out of it and would cost my hubby 😜😜😜😜some pounds to buy me a full size of "Givenchy Rouge Interdit Red 333💄"
If I may take this moment to say how beautiful this lipstick 💄is it's gorgeous ❤❤
From packaging to actual wear on lips 👄it's an absolute luxury.
Here is a wear test and review:
⭐Absolutely love the idea of luxury hydrating lipsticks 👄with which you might need no lip balm
⭐It feels Luminous matte with a hint of silky smooth finish.
⭐Just single application does the job
⭐It's an absolutely gorgeous pigment leaves colour even after 12 hrs to pass wear test.
⭐Love the colour choice 💕
Thank you @TazK one again I love my first beautiful beauty box 😘😘😘
How do I get the sample posted? It says click here to have it posted then when you click it it doesn't do anything other than show my points
Collected this sample earlier this week and omg so lush and so cute ... the case is so beautiful ... I love it .... the colour is a dark red and I feel it will suit every skin tone ...
Seeing as there isn't a Debenham's near me for quite a number of miles, I miss out on the 'giveaway's/freebies'.
Just wish there was an opportunity to receive them by post so that those in the same position as me (including me of course) don't miss out.
After all! Who doesn't love a freebie? xxx
I picked up the free sample of this lipstick without knowing what it was at first, when I opened it I did think, who can I pass this onto because it's not really my colour 😁, but when I tried it I was pleasantly surprised, it is a lovely lipstick very creamy,I am definitely impressed !!
I managed get one of those and I absolutely love it! Everything about it is perferct ... from the package to the color. The touch and feel are amazing!
This is a beautiful sample. The colour is stunning and quality amazing. The packaging is very classy too. It really makes me want to go out and buy a full size product. Debenhams are missing a trick by not having enough samples for everyone. I called in for mine and bought some Clinique products and a big beauty box while I was in store, spending nearly £60.
I would imagine a lot of people once in store are likely to browse and buy. A little enticement gets a lot of people through the doors. I know the store in Leeds regularly gives out little perfume samples and when I'm there for a few days I always go in store just on the off chance. This is a great marketing tool and probably not used as effectively as it could be, because a lot of people will get to the store and when they're told there's none left or the delivery hasn't been they'll just leave the store without browsing, because they aren't happy.
I regularly go into stores on the day of the promotion and some of the staff know nothing about it, so a little advance notice to their Staff would help too.
This is by far the best red lipstick that I own. I will absolutely be buying the full size when I run out. It goes on smoothly, lasts for hours through food and drink and doesn't dry out my lips at all. I don't wear it with liner and it stays put. I'm totally in love with this!
We?d love to hear from you! Join the Debenhams Beauty Club Community today to leave a comment, share tips, like posts and be part of the conversation.

Last Thursday, me and my husband spent the day in Boston! We had such a fun time! We went to the New England Aquarium, the MetroRock Gym, and had dinner with a couple of friends at the Beehive! Check out some of our photos from the Aquarium!!
Last Thursday, me and my husband spent the day in Boston! We had such a fun time! We went to the New England Aquarium, the MetroRock Gym, and had dinner with a couple of friends at the Beehive! Check out some of our photos from the Aquarium!!
On Saturday, I was so happy to finally see one of my very closest friends! Me and Missi traveled to Australia together, when we were in high school, and didn't really connect until the trip was over. Unfortunately, we didn't stay in touch after the trip. Oddly enough, just a year later, when we started college at UMF, we were both in the same chemistry class! We both ended up at the same university, and dance team!! It was such a surprise, but it was so neat how it happened! We didn't really hang out much or anything that first year, but that second year we were roommates, and the rest is history! We roomed together for two years until I got married, and she moved out of state, but we've kept in touch and made it a point to make frequent visits with each other 🙂
I love this girl right to death, and we just get each other. I can't imagine life without her!! She and Eric have one beautiful little boy, and another on the way! When she was pregnant with Lukas, we did some maternity photos at seven months, and the very next day, Lukas was born! Now, she's five months pregnant with Hayden James, and I can't wait to meet him! I FINALLY got some photos, as I haven't gotten any of him since he was three weeks old, despite our many visits. It was long overdue! Check out some photos of this beautiful blue-eyed boy 🙂
See? Just beautiful!!
Me and his mom played with his blocks more than he did!!
Oh how I love these two!!
Classic Missi faces 🙂
He really enjoyed being outside and just walking in circles! He was full of smiles!
We decided to snap a few photos of her and Hayden, just in case he decided to come early again, before we do maternity photos in April!
I love this one!!
It took us a few shots to get this one on the bottom, but, I love it! Best friends 4-eva!!
So, last week was week seven in my 52 weeks of FUN photo challenge. However, I was not able to get to capture a photo. At first I was bummed, thinking I had failed, but in reality, life takes over sometimes, and last week was a pretty rough week for me. Therefore, this challenge was put on the back burner. I realized that it's okay. I can just move on, and try to do better for all the upcoming weeks. I can't be superwoman all the time :p
Anyway, this week is #8: Numbers. I am a planner. To an extreme. I even plan when I get to relax. I like to schedule everything and know when everything is happening. Granted, I don't always follow my schedule, but at least I put in the effort to maximize my productivity! This is the same with our budget. I handle all the bills and finances, because then I know exactly what is going on. I'm always writing out budgets on random scraps of paper to figure out if we can really splurge and go out to eat, or something like that. I'm good with budgets. Those I can follow 🙂
This is a snapshot of just a random time earlier this week or late last week when I was crunching numbers in my planner!
This past weekend, me and Steven went back to the Bangor area to visit with friends and family for a few days. One of my favorite parts of these last four days is when we had our homemade pasta luncheon! Steven's parents got us a pasta maker for Christmas, and we have used it at least once a week since we opened the box!
It was basically just our parents, Steven's sister, and his best friend, there that day. However, we were the only ones who had ever had homemade pasta before! My mom took my camera and was taking photos like crazy (see where I get it from?!) while me and Steven were making pasta!
We probably had enough dough to feed a small army. That may be an exaggeration, but only just a little – there was enough to feed a LOT of people!!
Me and Steven love making our own pasta because it's fresh, and we know exactly what we're putting into our bodies. This really goes along with a new theme in my life of being super health conscious and putting good things into my body. Pasta is something we totally enjoy making and eating!

It's my intention to keep everyone in the loop with announcements even if the information is more pertinent to some rather than others. Any changes that are made affect everyone in the community and there should be transparency. Some updates may be larger than others, but this one is relatively short and is about Faction Management.
Faction Management is an area that I want to place some focus on as Management and is an area that I want to extend my support to where I can. In the past, there may have been roadblocks and complications with previous systems and Management: I intend to help alleviate this pain and help out wherever possible. Roleplay is the backbone of this server, and a lot of that revolves around players establishing and maintaining factions - both unofficial and official. Everyone should be given opportunities that they earn and everyone should feel that the playing field is even. Factions need a consistent and fair level of support to thrive on the server and that support should always be available.
Pitchounette recently returned to the Staff Team as a Level 4 Administrator - she has been a Lead Administrator in the past and is one of the previous Head of Factions for the server. She holds a wealth of knowledge and experience, and we feel that she would be the person to lead Faction Management in the right direction. She is a seasoned roleplayer and has been in all types of factions, legal and illegal, and should bring fresh perspective to the table.
Please feel free to direct any queries and concerns to Pitchounette in regards to Faction Management.
The new Faction Management leadership roster is as follows:
Ensure that you follow the Chain of Command for factions and contact the right person about your issues first. If applicable, Pitchounette and Unoriginal are available too as Faction Management leaders.Head of Factions: Pitchounette
Assistant Head of Factions: Unoriginal Gangster
- Head of Legal Factions: Nathan
Head of Illegal Factions: Ethanol
Thank you,

Barbs80 replied to TinyDeal.com's topic in TinyDealI like the xiaomi redmi 2 4.7" http://www.tinydeal.com/xiaomi-redmi-2-47-ips-hd-msm8916-quad-core-android-44-4g-lte-phone-p-144567.html because I think 5" or bigger is too big for a phone!
Android stalwart tries iPhoneCompletely agree with everything you've said 100%. I've got a HTC ONE X (4.7" screen) and refuse to go any bigger - ideally I'd like to go a little smaller - I think 4.5" would be my ideal. Also like you the camera burst mode on my HTC is one of the most important features on my phone - for taking pictures of my son. I've just finished 2 years with the ONE X and have decided to keep it for another year on sim only, because there's nothing out there I want to replace it with. I love getting new gadgets but I don't want a phone with a 5" or bigger screen. I've got an old iPhone 3GS as a work phone and an iPad, but I'm not keen on the Apple UI. It's ok, I can use it - but much prefer Android.
We have 5 copies of CoPilot to give away!

Eventually gave up trying to find somewhere to replace a windscreen in italy on a holiday and carried on regardless!
Mastering Tasker - 2: Setting your home zone, introducing entry / exit tasks
Barbs80 replied to PaulOBrien's topic in NewsReally liking these tasker guides, but I'm wondering how much battery it uses especially if you are running many profiles? surely constantly checking location etc will have an affect? or does the savings in battery life from turning off wifi etc outweigh it?
XMOD: Region / Device / Root patched Google Wallet
Barbs80 replied to PaulOBrien's topic in Softwarepresume there's no real benefit in updating this if it's already working on your phone? Still not actually managed to test mine yet tho as I tried in Greggs but hadn't spent the £3 minimum, I then went to McDonalds but they didn't have contactless machines!
great work Paul. any chance you can patch the ics lock screen to go to the HTC camera instead of stock?
I have problems maintaining wifi connection. Randomly disconnects but the wifi icon still says that it has signal. Looking through the xda forums it's a common problem I've had the issue on all roms i've tried - stock, leedroid and MCR - many people believe its wireless N, change to G and people report stable connections (not tried it personally yet, just turn wifi on and off again).
XMOD: Region / Device / Root patched Google Wallet
Barbs80 replied to PaulOBrien's topic in SoftwareUsed ES file explorer to copy to sys/apps, changed permissions, reboot - app appeared fine. during signup/activation I got dumped back to home screen several times, took 3 attempts to add the google prepaid card but eventually worked and got my $10 credit. will try it out next time I'm near a gregs/mcdonalds....
XMOD: Region / Device / Root patched Google Wallet
Barbs80 replied to PaulOBrien's topic in SoftwareWill give this a go, been wanting to test out the nfc on my One X (one of the main reasons I got it over the One S). Cheers Paul
just flashed the Vanilla rom (no wipe over LeeDroid) - the best shot feature doesn't work on the camera (and clicking the thumbnail to go to gallery does nothing) is this because it is part of sense or a problem because I didn't wipe?
We're giving away a RaspberryPi!
Barbs80 replied to PaulOBrien's topic in NewsHTC One X - random fact, it's too BIG!
After looking into it further. it's just a port of the iPhone version which has been round a while. There's no reason they couldn't have released this for all devices capable of running it (except EA probably got a wedge of cash from SE for the exclusivity). It just encourages people to look into 'alternative' methods of getting the game. A quick google shows it's freely available on many sites - but who knows what kind of malware could have been added to the apk. Do you think the cash that EA got from SE will make up for the lost earnings due to piracy for the people not willing to wait the weeks/months until its released to all?
LOVE the Dead Space games on PS3 - completed both. Unfortunately I've not got an XPlay (HTC desire). As you mention touch screen controls, is this game going to be released for the rest of the Android population? Not liking all these specific handset game releases :(

What is so great about sprouted Buckwheat?
Current Product Offerings
Welcome to this issue of Vibrant Living!
The newsletter that is dedicated to educating, entertaining and inspiring you by bringing you the best Vegan Solutions for Vibrant Living.
Please forward this ezine to anyone you know who would like more vitality, energy, fun, health, fitness and vibrancy in their lives.
Are you ready for a crunchy, sweet or salty (depending on your choice of flavors) topping for everything under the sun, or even a meal in and of itself?
How about some Sprouted Buckwheat!
Sprouted buckwheat is a perfect food for just about anyone---
So, what is so great about sprouted Buckwheat?
-sprouted buckwheat is wheat and gluten free
-it contains all 8 essential amino acids
-sprouted buckwheat could lower blood pressure
-it contains lots of lecithin, which has been shown to help lower LDL cholesterol levels
-buckwheat is high in calcium and boron, which can help prevent osteoporosis
So here's how we like to sprout buckwheat:
Make sure you're using the greenish colored, whole, untoasted, raw buckwheat.
Soak your desired amount of buckwheat in about twice as much water for 30-60 minutes.
Drain the water off, then rinse and drain once more (using a colander, sprouting jar lid, or some other handy device with very small holes). The slimy film you'll notice is totally normal, but one reason why rinsing and especially draining well is very important.
Place the soaked buckwheat into a glass quart (or larger) jar, or other container (a large bowl or baking dish covered with a thin dish towel is great too) where they have plenty of air. In just a couple of days, you'll notice tiny "tails" beginning to sprout from the buckwheat.
Refrigerate the sprouts as they are and use on salads, in smoothies, in cereals, as the cereal--sprinkle these nutrient-rich goodies onto anything!
For a sweet, even crunchier treat, and a way to extend the life of your buckwheat sprouts:
-mix the sprouts with agave nectar (1 tablespoon per 1-2 cups sprouts) and a pinch of salt, and dry/dehydrate overnight.
For a more savory version stir into the buckwheat sprouts:
-1-2 teaspoon agave, salt, 1/4 teaspoon chili powder/pinch of cayenne (or your favorite Mexican-ish spice), and a bit of lime juice. Spread evenly in your dehydrator and dry overnight.
Buckwheat sprouts are versatile, delicious, extra nutritious, and easy to make. They'll be an excellent addition to your already-eating-healthier way of life!

Module Program
- Learning a method to prepare for annual performance reviews.
- Fostering dialog using appropriate listening techniques.
Key Advantages
This module combines theory and practice to help you transfer what you have learned to your workplace.
Target Audiences
All managers who carry out annual performance reviews.
This is one of two learning modules on this topic. On completion it its recommended that you progress to Part B.


text: As a part of our science unit about weather and climate I gave the students a task of picking a vacation spot and trying to persuade me to go there on my next vacation. Price was not an issue (I wish that were actually true haha), just the climate and temperature of the destination. They needed to research the location, create charts and graphs to show precipitation, temperature highs and lows, and benefits of going to that location. They then needed to present the information to me. It went great!

Join us on Leader for a Day Sail
Trinity Sailing is launching a new day sail option for guests from today.
Due to popular demand, people can now join Leader for a day sail around Devon. The 1892 vessel will be sailing out of Brixham for a unique six-hour voyage on Sunday, April 10th.
Traditionally Trinity's shortest voyages have been short weekend trips but many customers have been requesting day sails, so a pilot voyage is to go ahead this spring.
Harry Gottschalk, Trinity Sailing's Sales & Marketing Manager, said: "We have recently had a lot of requests for day sails and we found we had a spare weekend in Leader's programme so we thought we would give it a go to let people join us for a day at sea.
"We thought it might appeal to people with hectic diaries who want a chance to get out on the water. We also want to show new customers that you don't have to be a sailor — or even have set foot on a boat before — to get involved with the running of our vessels, helping to put up sails and taking the helm."
You can join Leader for a day sail, which includes lunch on board, for £65. There are 12 berths available which can be booked by calling 01803 88 33 55 or emailing [email protected]

"Roots of Rock and Roll" coming to The Citadel
NOTE: The Jim Cobb lecture has been rescheduled for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 16 in Bond Hall Room 165 due to inclement weather anticipated from Tropical Storm Hanna. Updated 4 September 2008.
With wit and insightfulness, University of Georgia historian James C. Cobb will kick off the 2008 Fulghum Lecture Series on Thursday, Sept. 4 with a look at the Southern roots of rock and roll, tracing its development from the blues and country music.
"We are delighted to have Jim Cobb at The Citadel this fall," said Bo Moore, dean of Humanities and Social Sciences. "He is the leading historian of the South since World War II and a very entertaining speaker."
Cobb is the B. Phinizy Spalding Distinguished Professor of History at the University of Georgia and former president of the Southern Historical Association. He is the author of numerous books and articles on the economy, society, and culture in the American South. His blog Cobbloviate is a collection of posts on everything from politics and history to current events.
The Fulghum Lecture Series was created in 2007 by the Department of History Southern Studies Program to promote a better understanding of the American South and to help prepare students to be principled leaders in the region. The series is named after its benefactor, Leonard C. Fulghum, Jr. of Charleston, Citadel class of 1951, and member emeritus of The Citadel Board of Visitors. He is president of Lenwall Enterprises, Inc.
All lectures begin at 6:30 p.m. in Bond Hall Room 165 unless otherwise noted and are free and open to the public. Cobb's visit is first of three scheduled lectures for the fall. The others are:
- Oct. 7 - John Duckworth of Johns Island, S.C., will discuss the South Carolina Lowcountry through his art work, photography and filmmaking. His work has been exhibited in Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington, D.C. His latest "paintings from a camera" are part of a series of works that explore the shifting dynamics of life in the Lowcountry.
- Nov. 18 - John Meacham, editor of Newsweek magazine, will discuss his new book "American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House." Founder of the Democratic Party, Jackson rose from a humble Carolina childhood to the height of power as president of the United States. A New York Times best-selling author, Meacham appears regularly on NBC's "Meet the Press" and on MSNBC. The lecture begins at 7 p.m. at the Holliday Alumni Center, 69 Hagood Ave. This lecture is co-sponsored by the South Carolina Historical Society and is a fund-raising event. Admission is $25 a person. The first 200 Citadel students, faculty and staff with ID will be admitted free.

What if every time you have leftover scraps beginning with your first project in January all through the year until your last one in December, you took your scraps and made a block from them. Pick a size- like 10" and make each block the same size. But you can make each one whatever block you want- a pieced block that you can get all the parts out of your project scraps... or you could try to make the same block for all of them... like make them all string pieced like the one above. Or all nine patches, or churn dashes, etc... However you choose. Then at the end of the year, you put them all together into a quilt- your own personal journal quilt for that year. So many quilts we make are given away to loved ones as gifts. This would still let you keep a little piece of all those quilts... to document your quilting for the whole year. Just a thought! Waddaudink?
This afternoon after I got home from work, I pulled out my copy of this Quilts and More magazine
and figured out how big I could make the Easy Irish Chain quilt shown on the front cover out of the Amy Butler "Love" floral I have on hand. I'm going to make it using only 2 fabrics- this gorgeous "Love" floral and an awesome purple batik.
I have enough to make a generous lap quilt which is just fine! So, I cut it all out and am sewing the nine patch strips together. Will keep working on it tomorrow night!

Most young children enjoy pretend play and love to imitate action heroes. But many teachers, parents and child care workers say the influence of children's superhero TV shows or movies, can result in havoc when little fans get together.
Talking to kids about violence in the media they consume – television, movies, video games, music and the Internet – can help them put media violence into perspective and perhaps diffuse some of its power.
Images of men and women in the media are often based on stereotypical roles of males and females in our society. Because stereotyping can affect how children feel about themselves and how they relate to others, it's important that they learn to recognize and understand gender stereotypes in different media.
Screen-Free Week is an annual event that traditionally takes place in April. Each year people from around the world make a conscious decision to turn off screens of all kinds for the week.
Whether it's Darth Vader, the Daleks in Doctor Who or the winged monkeys in The Wizard of Oz, most of us remember seeing something on screen that we could only watch from behind a couch or under one of our parents' coats: in fact, 90 per cent of adults report an enduring memory of having been traumatized as a child by something they saw on television or in a movie. What we may not remember, however, is how serious and persistent the effects of these frightening moments and images can be. As we guide our children through their media experiences, it's important to realize that what they see can lead to problems like vivid nightmares, fear of the dark, having trouble sleeping and refusing to sleep alone.
Representations of violence are not new. In fact, violence has been a key part of media since the birth of literature: Ancient Greek poetry and drama frequently portrayed murder, suicide and self-mutilation, many of Shakespeare's plays revel in violence, torture, maiming, rape, revenge and psychological terror, and some of the most popular books of the 19th century were "penny dreadfuls" that delivered blood, gore and other shocks to the lowest common denominator.
No one knows better than the communications industries that children and youth represent a huge market, due to both their own spending power and their influence on family spending decisions.
While parents may find certain representations of violence wholly appropriate for young people, there is a wide continuum of content that exists online and in the media. Anything from a cartoon cat having an anvil comically dropped on his head to video images of real life injuries and deaths can be accessed online by children and youth.
It is difficult to set down in a definitive way what effect media violence has on consumers and young people. There are a number of reasons for this, but the main issue is that terms like "violence" and "aggression" are not easily defined or categorized. To a child, almost any kind of conflict, such as the heated arguments of some talk-radio shows or primetime news pundits, can sound as aggressive as two cartoon characters dropping anvils on one another.
Media violence has been taken up as a public policy issue by a number of Western countries. Central to the debate has been the challenge of accommodating what may appear to be opposing principles—the protection of children from unsuitable media content and upholding the right to freedom of expression.

These days, more and more women are delaying childbearing. Of course, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, but deciding to have children later in life can carry some risks in terms of conception and pregnancy. Past the age of 35 or so, a woman's chances of infertility, miscarriage, and birth defects increase — and continue to do into your fabulous 40s and beyond.
But there may be hope for women who choose to delay childbearing until their more seasoned years. A new study out of the University of Edinburgh published in Fertility and Sterility, found that the use of a hormone called DHEA could make older women's wombs more hospitable to fertilized eggs.
This finding could be a real game-changer, since older women often have a reduced ability to successfully implant a fertilized egg. According to researchers, the reason for this may be because the hormone DHEA decreases significantly as we age, which is why treating a woman's uterus with the hormone might just be the magic ticket to increasing her chance of successful implantation. Pretty amazing, huh?
In order to explore this possibility, The University of Edinburgh researchers worked with donated uterine tissue from women undergoing unrelated surgeries. When they treated the tissue with DHEA in a lab, levels of proteins that are associated with healthy implantation doubled. In addition, DHEA increased active androgens in this tissue, signaling that androgens may also be an important component for improving fertility in older women.
"A fertilised egg will implant only if the conditions are just right and we were excited to see that DHEA and androgens might help improve this environment in cells," explained lead author, Dr. Douglas Gibson. "The findings will help us develop studies for potential therapies but more research is needed before we can tell if this approach could be used to help women who are struggling to conceive."
As Medical Daily points out, older women also tend to have issues with the aging of their eggs, which is why many choose to freeze their eggs in earlier years and undergo procedures like in vitro fertilization (IVF) to achieve pregnancy later in life. But many of these women still face implantation issues, as well as frequent miscarriages. When coupled with IVF, this new fertility treatment could prove life-changing for these women.
"If research into DHEA does prove successful in improving chances of pregnancy, a combination of IVF (in vitro fertilization) along with hormone treatment could help older women get through the early period of pregnancy and reduce the chances of miscarriages," writes Medical Daily.
Of course, as exciting this all sounds, the research is still in its early stages and has not been tested on pregnancy women so far. But researchers believe the study is promising. The hope is that more research will be done, and treatment protocols will be developed for expectant moms.
"This study is important in learning more about what's required for a successful implantation and healthy pregnancy," said Dr. Stephen Meader, Programme Manager for Reproductive Health at the MRC, which funded the study. "This research may be in its early stages, but it's worthwhile because it lays the groundwork to uncovering potential treatments down the road to help women trying to conceive."
It's truly heartwarming and reassuring to see researchers continuing their efforts in regard to fertility. As a mom of "advanced maternal age" myself, I can say without a doubt that being an older mom rocks. There is a wisdom and confidence there that we just don't have in our younger years and science even backs this up. A study from 2017 found that older moms tended to be more patient, gentler, and able to raise kids with fewer behavioral issues than younger moms. Who knew?
The bottom line is if you are a woman who wants to wait until your life lines up just right to start a family, go for it. Now, more than ever, there are options for women who choose to wait — and that is fantastic news for all.

The best celebrity commencement speeches of 2018
Commencement speakers for the graduating class of 2018 have raised the bar. They inspired, encouraged, and offered valuable life lessons for students. If you missed the speeches, don't worry: We've got this year's highlights here.
Seniors of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School got a surprise at their graduation on June 3. One of late-night's biggest stars, Jimmy Fallon, delivered the commencement speech at the Parkland, Fla., school — where a gunman killed 17 people on Feb. 14. "Choose to move forward. Don't let anything stop you," Fallon said.
The moment was bittersweet for graduates. Four of their classmates who would have graduated died during the shooting. Each of their names was called at the graduation ceremony, and family members accepted the diplomas for their lost loved ones. Fallon offered words of encouragement: "When something feels hard, remember that it gets better." To the school's activists he heaped praise: "Thank you for your courage and your bravery and for giving amazing speeches I could never possibly live up to."
Having Oprah Winfrey deliver a speech at your graduation is a big deal! Her last speech at the Golden Globes in January drew national attention and sparked rumors she was considering running in the 2020 presidential election. Twitter went wild praising the media mogul for her powerful words.
On May 11, she spoke to the graduating class of the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, and her message was just as strong: "Use this moment to encourage you, to embolden you, and to literally push you into the rising of your life."
When actor Chadwick Boseman, aka Black Panther, took the stage at Howard University, he commanded attention. Not only does he have one of the biggest superhero movies of all time, but he also has the power to really inspire. Boseman delivered his speech on May 12 at his alma mater (he graduated in 2000) and urged students to pursue life with passion and purpose. "Whatever you choose for a career path, remember the struggles along the way are only meant to shape you for your purpose," Boseman said. He ended his inspirational speech with a "Wakanda forever" salute and the words "Howard forever."
On May 12, Academy Award winner Michael Keaton addressed the graduating class of Kent State University, reminding them to "be yourself." He then took the opportunity to deliver two very important words: "I'm Batman." Talk about the perfect ending.

Julie-Anne Ford, 1931-2012, had a long career in ABC Radio drama and features and was its director from 1985-89. This department, now defunct, produced plays, features and serials for all ABC networks from the 1930s, and Ford was a key member in what was perhaps its most creative period, the 1970s and 1980s.(from the «Sydney Morning Herald» obit column, written by Rodney Wetherell and Ron Blair.)
Julieanne appointed me to run Radio Helicon from 1987 to 1988. It was the most rewarding work I have ever done. Now, programs like Radio Helicon and other radio features and plays have been dropped from ABC radio forever, to make way for cheaper talk and chatter shows. We are the poorer for it.

Paul's persecutors attempted to kill him by stoning. They "dragged him out of the town, leaving him there for dead" (Acts 14:19). The circle of disciples raised the dead.
We need to form a prayer-circle around "the living dead" in our midst (1 Jn 3:14). Anyone who does not know Jesus is spiritually dead, reaping "the wages of sin" (Rm 6:23). Some churches are dead (Rv 3:1). Some marriages are dead. We can circle these people, churches, and couples, just as Joshua circled Jericho and the walls came tumbling down (Jos 6:20).
We can circle the dead and bring them to life by literally joining our hands, by a week of prayer (as with Jericho), by "praying over" people, by forming a prayer chain or intercessory group. If we but let the Spirit guide us, we can circle our dead planet with life-giving prayer. Let's go around in circles, up in resurrection spirals, into new life, a new life of true freedom.

UMBC takes on Cal State-Fullerton as the Retrievers complete play at the UNLV Nike Invitational on Sunday, Sept. 14. The Retrievers and Titans kick off at 7:00 EDT at Peter Johann Stadium. Live stats are accessible via www.umbcretrievers.com, but no live video will available for the contest.
Both teams are seeking to reverse one-goal setbacks from the first day of action on Friday. CSF (0-3-2) fell, 2-1, to Detroit, while the 11th – ranked Retrievers (3-1-1) dropped a 1-0 decision to host UNLV.
Last Time Out: Host UNLV ran its record to 5-0-0 as the Rebels scored midway through the first half and hung on to defeat 11th-ranked UMBC (3-1-1), 1-0, at Peter Johann Memorial Field.
The hosts took the lead in the 23', as diminutive midfielder Salvador Bernal scored his 6th goal of the year, flicking in a direct kick from 11 yards out inside the far right post.
The Retrievers would tilt the field in their favor for most of the final 45 minutes, but continued to struggle to find senior forward Kay Banjo as UMBC's prime target finished with just one shot. UMBC would not relent and had its best chance to draw even with 90 seconds remaining. After a Rebel off-sides, Breno had a free kick from the midfield stripe and put the ball deep into the UNLV box. Netminder Ryan Harding came out and punched it away, but UMBC senior back Marquez Fernandez headed it towards goal, where it was headed away from the goal line by a UNLV defender.
The shots finished at eight apiece as junior midfielder Malcolm Harris was credited with four of UMBC's eight attempts.
The win was UNLV's first in five attempts versus the Retrievers.
UNLV had scored 11 times in its last three games.
It's Been Awhile: UMBC's last setback in regulation occurred 32 contests ago, when they fell, 2-1, at Albany on Oct. 10, 2012. That defeat was also UMBC's last road loss prior to the UNLV contest, a span of 11 consecutive unbeaten (7-0-4) efforts.
Leading the Way: Seniors Kay Banjo, Mamadou Kansaye and Geaton Caltabiano lead the Retrievers with two goals apiece. Banjo has three assists for a team-high seven points. Breno has all five decisions in goal and has posted a 0.57 goals against average.
A Glance at the Opponent: Cal State- Fullerton (0-3-2) entered the Nike UNLV Invitational opened up the tournament against the Detroit Titans and fell, 2-1. The Titans scored first as Ritchie Gonzalez provided a clever pass in the box to Marc Fenelus, who was able to beat Detroit goalkeeper Nathan Stein Wascher in the 33rd minute. But Detroit got the equalizer just before halftime and the game-winner in the 81'. Cal State Fullerton outshot Detroit 22-16, and the Titans held an 8-4 advantage on corner kicks.
Prior to the Detroit contest, the Titans posted a 0-0, double overtime draw against Northwestern. CSF struck six shots on goal but weren't able to connect. Goaltender Jeff Salt had six saves on the day.
Cal State- Fullerton opened its 2014 campaign with a 2-3 loss to the University of Illinois-Chicago, followed by a 0-0, double overtime thriller against the University of San Diego. Seniors Amara Soumah and Alex Cannas each added a goal for the Titans against now, #23 UIC. Who scored goals for CSF versus Illinois-Chicago, a team now ranked in the top 25.
Series Record: This will mark the first time Cal St. Fullerton and UMBC face off in a men's soccer contest.
Up Next: UMBC returns home to open a two-game homestand, taking on Loyola (Md.) on Sept. 20 and William & Mary on Sept. 24.

Sophie Turner's Emmy Snub Is Making Game Of Thrones Fans Lose Their Minds
Game of Thrones received 23 Primetime Emmy nominations today, but fans quickly noticed that one actress was royally snubbed: Sophie Turner.
The eldest Stark sister didn't receive an Emmy nomination, while her female costars Emilia Clarke, Lena Headey, and Maisie Williams did—and fans are not having it. Sansa's reign during Season 6 was much appreciated after her brutal rape last season, and after years of watching Sansa get the short end of the stick, she finally owned Westeros and kicked some serious ass this season.
sophie turner is the leonardo dicaprio of the emmys except the only difference is shes never actually nominated
— lauren (@THESOPHlETURNER) July 14, 2016
She was a major reason the Starks took back Winterfell from the heinous Boltons and she managed to turn Ramsay into precious dog food. Sansa took on the patriarchy and the patriarchy said, "Whoaaa, what is happening?!"
Which is why Sophie's fans on Twitter have taken to saying she was "robbed" and "screwed" and that an "actual goddess" such as herself who was completely "badass" during Season 6 should've been nominated because of how she's "proven herself to the world."
So everyone and their mother got an #Emmys nomination but Sophie Turner? pic.twitter.com/b25wcFurO2
— vanessa (@winturfell) July 14, 2016
As Sansa made it crystal clear to the men of Westeros (especially Littlefinger), she was indeed a force to be reckoned with. Turner's evolution as Sansa—from a naïve, lovestruck teen to an empowering woman who gives zero fucks and takes no shit—is awe-inspiring. That's what we love about her. So, maybe next year?

DUP Group leader on Mid Ulster Council Councillor Paul McLean has welcomed the outcome of the referendum when the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union.
"In the May Assembly elections the DUP, unlike some other parties, made it clear that we believed the UK was better to leave," he said in a statement.
"We stated our position and campaigned that it is better for the United Kingdom to be outside the European Union and, subsequently, received that mandate from the electorate and were returned as the largest party in Northern Ireland."
He said the DUP recognised that within Mid Ulster and in Northern Ireland as a whole more people voted to remain.
"This was always likely to be the case given the position adopted by the majority of other main stream political parties," he continued.
"However Sinn Fein and those others who voted to remain need to remember that the referendum was a UK-wide referendum as it is the United Kingdom, and not its component parts, that is the member state of the European Union.
"Now that the decision has been made the DUP's priority will be to ensure Northern Ireland's interests are protected and advanced and that new opportunities are developed as part of any new arrangements within the UK."
Referring to the recent special meeting of Mid Ulster Council to discuss the Brexit outcome, he said: "Sinn Fein in Mid Ulster called a meeting to discuss the outcome and the impact of Brexit for local people and business; however the question has to be asked 'where were all the local Sinn Fein councillors during the EU referendum election campaign, on polling day and during the count'."
"As usual we now see a huffing and puffing from Sinn Fein as they try to save face as on this occasion it was the SDLP who showed leadership for the 'remain campaign' in Mid Ulster not Sinn Fein."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Wednesday stood by her comments that downplayed the power of four high-profile freshman women in the House, increasing the tension between the congressional leader and her colleagues.
"I have no regrets about anything. Regrets is not what I do," Pelosi told reporters about her Sunday remarks about the so-called "Squad" ― a group of progressives that includes Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Rashida Tlaib (Mich.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.) and Ayanna Pressley (Mass.).
Asked @SpeakerPelosi: Any regrets your comments to @maureendowd may have created some disunity?— Mike DeBonis (@mikedebonis) July 10, 2019
"No, I do not. Four people voted for the bill. That's what I said. And no other people followed. I have no regrets about anything. Regrets is not what I do."
The comments came after Pelosi left a closed-door meeting Wednesday in which she reportedly warned the Democratic left, specifically Capitol Hill staffers, to keep their criticism of more moderate colleagues in the party to themselves. According to two attendees at the meeting who spoke to The Washington Post on condition of anonymity, Pelosi's remarks appeared to at least partially be a jab at Ocasio-Cortez's chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarty, who recently urged his fellow Twitter followers to support a primary challenger to Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) and tweeted, "Pelosi is just mad that she got outmaneuvered (again) by Republicans."
"You got a complaint? You come and talk to me about it," Pelosi reportedly said in the meeting, according to the Post. "But do not tweet about our members and expect us to think that that is just OK."
In an interview published Sunday with New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, Pelosi slammed the four women of color and dismissed them as a tiny squad with no real power in Congress.
"All these people have their public whatever and their Twitter world," she told Dowd of the first-year congresswomen, some of whom she was happy to pose with on the January cover of Rolling Stone. "But they didn't have any following. They're four people, and that's how many votes they got."
Ninety-five House Democrats, including the four women, voted against the Senate version of the immigration bill, which increased funding to deal with conditions at the border but lacked humanitarian guarantees for detained migrants, specifically children. Pelosi chose not to amend the bill before it passed, leading to sharp criticism from some Democrats, including the "Squad."
"When these comments first started, I kind of thought that [Pelosi] was keeping the progressive flank at more of an arm's distance in order to protect more moderate members, which I understood," Ocasio-Cortez told the Post later that Wednesday. "But the persistent singling out … it got to a point where it was just outright disrespectful … the explicit singling out of newly elected women of color."
Pressley told the Post that the speaker's comments were "demoralizing."
"Thank God my mother gave me broad shoulders and a strong back. I can handle it. I'm not worried about me," the Massachusetts Democrat said. "I am worried about the signal that it sends to people I speak to and for, who sent me here with a mandate, and how it affects them."

Your voice drives celiac disease research. Kristin Voorhees, MA, Beyond Celiac Director of Healthcare Initiatives breaks down how.
By Amy Ratner, Beyond Celiac Medical and Science News Analyst
With the power of your voice, Beyond Celiac is helping to shape a new model for engaging patients in research. Kristin Voorhees, MA, Director of Healthcare Initiatives, recently met with healthcare industry representatives at the Patient-Centered Clinical Trials 2016 conference to share the strategies Beyond Celiac is using to connect patients and researchers.
Across the healthcare field, patient's stories are shaping what researchers study and how they study it. "We have direct evidence that the community's interests in research news and participating in research are quickly increasing," Voorhees says. "We are proud to share this information with the rest of the world." Through the Beyond Celiac Research Opt-In, a growing group of engaged community members is spending four times longer reading content related to research than any other content on BeyondCeliac.org.
Beyond Celiac regularly partners with biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies to assist in the recruitment of patients for clinical trials, which are seeking to find alternative therapies outside of the gluten-free diet alone. For example, in 2014, Beyond Celiac helped to recruit patients for a phase IIb clinical trial by sharing information on digital and social media. We developed this strategy based on regular interactions with our online community. Even 10 months after first promoting the study, the community's interest in participating continued to grow. And Beyond Celiac was a top recruiter for the trial due to a long-term and consistent relationship with our research partners.
CEO Alice Bast presented the patient engagement strategies Beyond Celiac is using to guide this kind of work at the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research 21st Annual International Meeting. We have shared findings at multiple conferences as a result of engaging with you online, and we are continuing to develop new ways to connect patients and researchers.
Informed and engaged patients are the gears that will drive celiac disease research into increased diagnosis, better treatment and more. Only you can provide a real-world view of what it's like to live with celiac disease and what advances are meaningful. Beyond Celiac regularly engages patients in social dialogue about their needs and wants by creating a conversation with the larger community, with the goal of advancing research and ultimately finding a cure.
But you might wonder exactly how you fit into this conversation and what research means to you. Here are a few questions you might have and some answers from Kristin Voorhees to ease you into engaging in meaningful ways.
What happens to patients in the real world needs to be taken into consideration, including your needs and emotions. The complete patient experience, not just what's shared in a brief clinic visit, should be part of the research process from the start. This is one of the things we learned through collaboration with patients, doctors, scientists and drug company representatives at our 2015 Research Summit.
You have an opportunity to:
Digital and social media may not immediately come to mind when you think about research, but they play an essential role in keeping you informed and engaged. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, You Tube and more all provide quick and easy access to information, encourage engagement and help build an active, knowledgeable and accessible community. It's one of the ways that you can always count on Beyond Celiac to share new information with you.
Having information about studies that might be taking place near where you live, or news about researchers looking for a variety of patients who can participate no matter where their location, allows you to join in the scientific work being done. Additionally, you can always stay up-to-date.
Your input through social media is increasingly recognized by researchers as a valuable source of information, feedback and data that impacts consumer health. For example, celiac disease patients have anecdotally shared both in person and online that they often find little value in meeting regularly with their doctors to talk about management of their celiac disease.
Beyond Celiac wanted to formalize the collection of this data and gather facts so we developed and shared a survey in 2015 through social and digital media to ask how patients are using healthcare. We are now working with researchers from Vanderbilt University, Columbia University and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center to analyze the results of the survey.
We know that we need new treatment options beyond the gluten-free diet, but development of drugs is only a piece of the research picture. Patients who participate in studies contribute to a cascading body of knowledge about many aspects of celiac disease, some with broad and long-term implications.
Here's a snapshot of some of the information we learned about our community's use of the healthcare system through this recent survey. Of adults diagnosed five or more years ago, nearly 30% have not visited their physician in the last five years to discuss management of the disease.
This data is currently being analyzed and we are excited to share more of our findings with you in 2017.
You can share your experiences and learn from the experience of others. You might think you are alone in dealing with the challenges of celiac disease and the gluten-free diet and that no one else understands. But there is a larger community that totally gets what you are going through, and you can connect with it.
While important, that's only one benefit of being engaged. Some celiac disease patients are still relying on information that they were given when they were first diagnosed, perhaps five, 10 or 20 years ago, particularly since follow-up practices often differ significantly among patients. Consequently, they aren't aware of the inefficiencies of the gluten-free diet being revealed by science. You can keep up-to-date about important developments in diagnosis, disease management, drug development and more to decide how best to meet your healthcare needs. And you can learn about the types of research and ways to contribute, whether it's through taking a survey, participating in a trial that does not involve taking a drug or one that does.
Beyond Celiac developed its Research Opt-In to give you the most up-to-date and accurate medical and science news, including study findings, opportunities to take part in studies and more. You can sign up to receive alerts either every other week or once a month. The Opt-In is the most direct connection to the research world that you'll find.
Social media, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and the Beyond Celiac website allow you to comment on stories, share your experiences and ask questions. We often reach out to you when we are looking for patients' perspectives on a wide range of topics.
We both develop and share surveys that enable us to get more specific details and identify unmet needs, behaviors and attitudes related to celiac disease. These are very helpful. For example, nearly 3,000 of you responded in 10 days to the survey that's allowing us to better understand your interactions with doctors. That's the power of making the patient voice heard.
One of the beauties of social media conversations is that they are immediate. You can engage with others, ask questions and get responses almost as fast as you can hit "send" or "post." Conducting research and analyzing and sharing the results can seem like a very slow process in comparison. The impact is not always immediately obvious. Fortunately, researchers from all backgrounds agree that by listening to your voice things are happening much more quickly.

text: Movement is just as important as nutrition and does not mean the same to everyone. Movement can be as simple as walking, Tai Chi, yoga, or being a crossfit trainer. Our bodies need it in order to build energy, to sustain life. It's not just important for our brain and heart but overall for our mood, happiness. My goal is for people to leave happier than when they got there. Happiness has to do with getting the endorphins in the body and a sense of well being. After putting a workout in and having movement, it is very hard to be down and to not be in a good mood. This is because of our endorphins. This ties back to our ancestors in not only eating whole foods but also in moving to find their prey. When you focus on the nutrition and movement your body starts to heal in a different way. When you combine those two with your spirituality, your focus begins to change in your life. There are some diseases that are chronic and we know that western medicine can work but even with western medicine in there it is still great to mold all three pillars together to make things even easier… to achieve better outcomes.

If you've been watching the Charlie Sheen ordeal, you'll be able to see it firsthand in April.
Sheen's "Violent Torpedo of Truth" is coming to the Oakdale Theater in Wallingford.
"Bring it. I dare you to keep up with me," Sheen says in the show description.
If you cannot get enough of his rants about having "tiger blood" and "Adonis DNA," then block out the night of April 9.
"This IS where you will hear the REAL story from the Warlock," Sheen writes in the event description.
Tickets go on sale Thursday. Tickets are $62.10 and $106.
If people have not reached Charlie overload by April, the Oakdale theater will definitely be "winning."
Charlie Sheen, the former "Two and a Half Men" star, first announced his intentions to carry out a road show on March 8 and added five dates to the tour starting with Cleveland on April 5,Columbus on April 6, Radio City Music Hall in New York City on April 8, Wallingford on April 9 and and Agganis Arenain Boston on April 12.
Sheen's shows in Detroit and Chicago sold out quickly.
