By Eliza McGuire, Revelstoke Aquaducks
The Revelstoke Aquaducks summer swim club started its competitive season this past weekend by attending two meets. While half the team stayed within the region at the meet hosted by the Penticton Pikes, the other half went to the Kootenays where the Nelson Neptunes were hosting after a year hiatus due to a pool closure.
The Penticton meet saw many swimmers take off time and improve on personal bests, and as a result quite a few swimmers won aggregates. In Division 1, Kayln Gale won gold for the girls, and Ryder Litke, despite having to miss events at the end of the meet, won bronze for the boys.
In Division 3, all three swimmers from Revelstoke hit the overall podium to bring home aggregates. Jaclyn Elliott, the lone female in Division 3, won bronze and Alex Jay won gold for the boys. Caine McCabe took off time in every event to slingshot himself up the standings to his first ever aggregate when he won bronze.
In Division 4, Beth Granstrom and Jackson Litke picked up bronzes. Liam McCabe swam his way to a bronze aggregate to round out the meet. Despite modest numbers, overall the Ducks finished fourth, with the girl's team placing third, and the boys fourth.
In Nelson, the Ducks were making their presence known with loud cheers and big swims despite their small numbers. Hitting the podium to win aggregates were coaches James Pilla and Emily Pfeiffer, and swimmers James LeBuke and Murdoch Tegart. Murdoch had to take off huge amounts of time to get on to the podium after a disqualification in the 50 meter butterfly, but his determination and hard work paid off.
Getting to enjoy a rare respite this next weekend, the Aquaducks will be back in action when the Merritt Otters host June 14-15. After a weekend of spectacular swimming in both Nelson and Penticton, many club records are holding on by a thread, including a few three decades old that are in danger of being taken down at the meet in Merritt.

A Forgotten Place (Bess Crawford Series #10)384
Though the Great War has ended, Bess Crawford finds herself caught in deadly circumstances on a remote Welsh headland in this tenth entry from the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author.
The fighting has ended, the Armistice signed, but the war has left wounds that are still agonizingly raw. Battlefield Nurse Bess Crawford has been assigned to a clinic for amputees, and the Welsh patients worry her. She does her best to help them, but it's clear that they have nothing to go home to, in a valley where only the fit can work in the coal pits. When they are released, she fears that peace will do what war couldn't—take their lives.
Their officer, Captain Williams, writes to describe their despair, and his own at trying to save his men. Bess feels compelled to look into their situation, but the Army and the clinic can do nothing. Requesting leave, she quietly travels to Wales, and that bleak coal mining village, but she is too late.
Captain Williams' sister tells Bess he has left the valley. Bess is afraid he intends to kill himself. She follows him to an isolated, storm-battered peninsula—a harsh and forgotten place where secrets and death go hand in hand. Deserted by her frightened driver, Bess is stranded among strangers suspicious of outsiders. She quickly discovers these villagers are hiding something, and she's learned too much to be allowed to leave. What's more, no one in England knows where she is.
Why is there no Constable out here? And who is the mysterious Ellen? Captain Williams and his brother's widow are her only allies, and Bess must take care not to put them at risk as she tries to find answers. But there is a murderer here who is driven to kill again and again. And the next person in his sights is Simon Brandon, searching for Bess and unaware of his danger. . . .

Customer Reviews
On her journey to check on one of her military patients released from hospital in England after WWI ends, Bess Crawford's finds herself in a small isolated community on the coast of Wales. After a somewhat deceptively slow start, various mysterious events occurring in the isolated community add an eerie overtone to the atmosphere of the community. Bess Crawford once again finds herself in a life-threatening situation, and the novel. becomes a page turner. I was completely surprised with the whodunit, as well as revelations about some of the residents and their carefully guarded secrets. Good writing and plot.
I really enjoy the Bess Crawford series.
WWI might be over, but its legacy remains with the injured men who try to make sense of their new lives, their families who have to take care of them, and a country that isn't prepared to deal with them all. Into this we have Bess Crawford, a very conscientious nurse, trying to help some of the men in her charge adjust. It isn't easy for anyone, and the option of suicide is always lucking in the wings. This is a powerful series with well developed characters, both the ongoing ones and the new ones. We care about them and understand some, at least, of Bess' motivation. It is a marvelous and heartrending story.
The writing is taut, the atmosphere Gothic, and the story one that will keep you guessing. It is a worthy addition to the Bess Crawford saga.
Starts slow, as always, tension builds, then a satisfactory ending!
Quick read. Always descriptive.
Placing Bess in an isolated environment I thought wanted to portray a feeling of helplessness..it missed. Interaction with Simon limited, after 10 books you should see more intimacy

Reactivating or Reinstating a License
Who is eligible to submit an application to reactivate a physician license?
Reactivation is appropriate for physicians who were previously licensed in NC and have been inactive for LESS THAN one year.
However, if the license was made inactive as a result of a disciplinary action by the Board (e.g., suspension) the physician MAY NOT submit an application for reactivation, even if he or she was inactive for less than 12 months.
What is the difference between a license reactivation and a license reinstatement?
In short, reactivation is for practitioners who were previously licensed in NC and have been inactive for LESS THAN one year. Reinstatement is for previously-licensed practitioners who have been inactive for MORE THAN one year and for ALL licensees who are inactive as a result of disciplinary action by the Board.
If a physician does not meet the criteria to reactivate a license, what other options exist?
Physicians who previously held a NC license but who have been inactive for MORE THAN one year may submit an application for reinstatement of their license.
In addition, ALL licensees who are inactive as a result of disciplinary action by the Board, regardless of how long they have been inactive, must submit an application for reinstatement to be considered for an active medical license.
What is the process for reinstating a physician license?
Candidates for reinstatement must essentially submit a new application for licensure in NC. Visit the Physician or Physician Assistant licensure sections and view the Reinstatement application information for details.
It is important to understand that any licensee who has been out of clinical practice for two or more years must meet an additional requirement to reestablish their competence to practice medicine safely to the satisfaction of the Board. This typically involves having a licensed physician colleague approved by the Board mentor the re-entering licensee for a set period (this period is determined by the licensee and the Board on a case-by-case basis). Click here to read the Board's Position Statement on the subject of competence and re-entering the practice of medicine.
What is the process for reactivating a physician license?
A candidate for reactivation must complete a process similar to the annual license renewal. They must answer a series of detailed questions designed to identify potential problems or "red flags", pay a fee, submit completed fingerprint cards to the Board and document continuing medical education (CME) earned during the period they were inactive (if any), among other requirements. Visit the Physician or Physician Assistant full license application and view the Reactivation application for detailed information.

This weekend I went to Manchester to be on BBC1. This is my routine, so first we packed our bags for the train. It was a long journey and I packed toys to entertain me. I took colouring and top trumps. Then we were off to the train station. We waited on platform 4 for our train and we had to find our seats. It took 2 in a half hours.
As soon as we got to Manchester we got a taxi to the hotel. We got there super late so we went to bed. We had a bed each and the room was really nice. So the next morning we woke up at 6:00. because we had to go to the studio really early. After we got ready we went to BBC1.
We had a touch of makeup and then we were on TV just like that. The lady took me into a room and asked me if I wanted my hair straight or curled. I said curled, she kept saying I had lovely hair. Next she put some lip gloss on me. My mum was also getting her make up done.
Then we had microphones put on us and went into the studio. The studio is smaller than it looks on TV but the people are the same. They are famous TV people and I was sitting with them.
We were talking about reverse advent calendars.That means giving to other people. Each day you put something in a box and then give it to a charity who gives it to poor people. They asked me questions like what I would put in the box and why we should do it. I said it makes people happy.
After it finished they said we are going on again!!!!!
We went for breakfast in the hotel and I had pancakes.
We went back to the studio and we met Katie Melua. She was really nice and liked my colouring. We talked about playing the guitar. After we went on TV we went home to watch ourselves over and over again.
Do join in with the reverse advent calendars to help other people.
Mum Talk
Erin was amazing on the TV she showed little nerves and spoke to clearly and confidently. The reverse advent calendar is gaining momentum, you can read about it here. Do join in and help out a vvulnerable family this Christmas.

Dear Michael and Caroline,
I never in my life really wanted to hold a job, much less the 15 or so that I've held. A job often meant doing what someone else wanted me to do rather than what I myself chose to do.Some of us prefer to preserve our independence, to think and act as we wish to think and act.
Then again, one also has to get real.
I've taken jobs because I needed to, because I had to make a living and support my family. A job also means you go in to an office to work and then you come home with money in your pocket. Your health insurance is covered and you have a pension plan. You get to take vacations and holidays.
A job has its advantages. If you're lucky, your job is inherently rewarding. You're assigned to cover a murder for a newspaper. You interview a police officer at a coffee shop about a union official found shot in the head at his desk, gangland-style. So you write an article that people read.
Your client comes to you needing attention for a new drug or a service or his CEO. You put together a plan and discuss the strategy and start calling the media. And then comes coverage in The Wall Street Journal.
You see, I have no issue with the work itself. I like the work. It's the rest of it I could do without. The protocols, processes and procedure.
But that's how it goes with a job. You deliver the newspapers, just as I did as a boy. You stack the papers into a basket on the handlebars of your bicycle and pedal around the neighborhood flinging the news onto front lawns. It could be cold out or rainy and you could be sleepy and maybe you would rather watch Popeye cartoons or play baseball. But you do it because it's your job.
And let me tell you something important here. I've loved most of my jobs. I've learned something valuable from every job I've held.
P.S. – See Part 2 tomorrow.

By: Movie Snurb (A Toast) –
The Favourite is the latest film by the polarizing director Yorgos Lanthimos. It tells a tale about Queen Anne of England during the 18th century and the love/hate triangle between her, Sarah, and Abigail. It's filled with a stellar cast of: Olivia Coleman as Queen Anne, Emma Stone as newcomer servant Abigail, and Rachel Weisz as Lady Sarah, Queen Anne's right-hand woman. Abigail shows up looking for employment but quickly attempts to turn the Queen against Sarah so Abigail can take Sarah's place. It's an absolutely brilliant film, that's equal parts dark and hilarious.
A Toast
I love Lanthimos' American films, The Lobster and The Killing of a Sacred Deer, but I think this film really benefited from the script being written by someone else. Lanthimos' dialogue can be a little dry and slow, which work for his previous films, but this script is exactly what it needed to be. It's sharp-witted, dark, hilarious, and brutally honest. Can't say I know much about Tony McNamara and Deborah Davis, but their dialogue is fast and rolls off the actors' tongues like little daggers right into their co-stars. It's like all the characters are working in a roast and it's of each other. Lanthimos' directing is spot on, but it's the script that really shines through.
The script and the actors go hand in hand like peanut butter and jelly. I don't think it's a case of the script making the actors look better or vice versa. They are both equally powerful and deserve all of the recognition. The performances are also equally brilliant, it's not a case of one performance elevating the others. Rachel Weisz is having quite a year with this portrayal of Sarah and her performance in Disobedience earlier in the year. She is seeking out great roles for women and I cannot wait to see what else she's got in the works; she's quickly becoming one of the most exciting actors solely from her role choices.
Emma Stone is great as Abigail; she's vicious, almost sociopathic in her quest to get rid of Sarah. It was great to see her in such an unlikable role and yet she was completely charming. It reminded me of Robert Pattinson in Good Time, she's lying and conniving but she's so good at it it's like you missed something. Olivia Coleman is brilliant as Queen Anne, I've never seen a performance that walked this thin of a razor of unlikable and sympathetic. The Queen could've been such an unlikable character, but Coleman adds this level of tenderness and compassion to which you feel for the Queen through the entire film. I'll be rooting for Olivia to win Best Actress at the Oscars. The last performance that I loved and I can't believe isn't getting more attention is Nicholas Hoult as Harley, he's like a male version of Abigail in this film. Just like everyone else, Harley is looking out for his own interests, but Hoult is playing Harley as a straight man whose reactions are the funniest moments. I could watch him walk around on the street and call people cunt all day.
From a technical standpoint this film is great, and the Cinematography is a standout. I especially loved the quick shots from the fish eye lens. It's as if we're observing the castle from the view of the Queen's rabbits who see and know all, they just can't tell you anything. The editing is also stellar; there is a scene which cuts between Abigail attempting to poison Sarah and the men of the court throwing fruit at a naked man, it was a brilliant little moment showing the difference in harshness between men and women. Women play the long game, men are just violent. I also loved the minimal string score which perfectly accentuates every scene. Whether it's a slow draw or a staccato pluck it's the cherry on top of every scene.
It's hard to watch this film and not be reminded of Barry Lyndon, especially because they take place during the same time period. I loved the small callback to Barry Lyndon with the use of candles or fire as the only lighting on a scene, and I especially loved the scene when Harley and Abigail are walking outside at night. The costumes and set design are also reminiscent of Barry Lyndon, but it'd be hard not to make a film in this time period without having stunning sets and costume designs. However, they are gorgeous nonetheless.
I loved every moment of The Favourite, from its smart, sharp, brilliant writing and stellar acting to how gorgeous it is to look at. I couldn't ask any more of this film and it is definitely one of my favorite films of the year.

14 January 2008
So my mom and I went to Old Country Buffet. She love it there, and actually, I do too. The problem is I always, every single time, overeat. I think the food is fresh and delicious. A person could have a really good, nutritious meal. Could. But not me. Why, oh why, did I have that piece of cheesecake after having a dinner-plate size dessert of bread pudding, peach cobbler, apple crisp and banana pudding with a generous mound of soft-serve ice cream in the center? After 2 plates of lunch? I don't kid when I say I can eat at those buffets. And why I should stay away.
I hung out with my mom at her house till her soap, Passions, began. That is one racy show! I left and drove over to HomeGoods and browsed the aisles. Then I came home. I caught up on my newspapers while watching Oprah and the news. Then it was on to dinner (my appetite returned, somehow), and time with Emily. I sat by her side while she read through all the archives of Becca's blog. She's the daughter of one of my co-workers, and I really enjoy her blog. I wanted Emily to listen to the music on it (ever heard of Landon Pigg?), and she was hooked and read every single post. Em's upstairs doing homework now, and here I am. Ready to put this day to rest!

Your days are always full to the rim, and you never seem rattled by all the events of the day. There was a time, years ago, when I could be on the go all day and still have energy to spare. Those days are over for me. But, as you've said several times, I love my life as it is and would like to keep it this way.
Buffets, in general, are a peril. I have no sense of restraint when confronted with rows and rows of food. I always eat too much and regret it afterwards.
Hope you have a calm week with no bumps along the way.

I know what you mean about the TV/DVD/VCR. We bought my parents a new big screen TV for Christmas. Then the old DVD/VCR was not compatible. The grandkids bought a new DVD/VCR player for it.
It has been hard for them to use and it took my sons many visits to get the thing hooked up correctedly.
Sounds like a nice day with your mom!
- Gin said...
Sounds like you had a great day!! And YUM, I love cheesecake, I can't say as I blame you for having some, even after all that other stuff..LOL
Hey, is it okay for me to put a link to your blog on my blog?

I bet I would like Old Country Buffet. We had this terrible chain of buffets down here called Barne's Family Buffet. My co-worker at the University would have to eat at them every time we traveled. Yours sounds much better and now I have the munchies! Ha!

They definitely need a big old universal remote so they can turn things off and on with one remote. It can get wayyyy too complicated to use all the little gadgets that get hooked up together. It won't be too long until it will all be run by our laptops though. Just double click on which electronic item you want to watch or listen to.

Sounds like another great day in the life of Cheryl.
Lord help me when we have to switch everything over. I will be the one asking all my mechanically inclined friends to help me get everything going again.
We have an Old Country Buffet and I went once or twice. If I were a buffet kind of girl, I can see how much trouble I could get into there.
I say you live once so go for the dessert. Practice restraint the next couple of days and it all ends up ok. That is my theory and I am sticking to it.
- Moohaa said...
I think I got dizzy reading all the things your parents had to do to watch a movie. Holy cow! I'm kind of surprised the Geek people didn't sort out the remotes for your parents. I would think they would have done that.
I love Old Country Buffet! Yumm. I love the cherry crisp dessert. Sounds good to me.

Hi Cheryl! Sounds like you had a busy day! I was wondering what kind of store "HomeGoods" is? We don't have one around here.
Wishing you a peaceful day....

Oh boy do I ever know what you're talking about..damn remotes..tv video 6, receiver set to video one, satellite box off, dvd on..
perhaps a congratulations on their new present you could purchase them a universal remote..they have them at Sams and Costco and there are lots of them with really BIG buttons...as far as programing the uni with the remaining 6 (HA!) Check with geekies, but as long as you have the brand type of system that they have, they'll be able to help..
Oprah,..sigh..I wish I could watch her..there's just not enough time.
Did you see something familiar on her show in regards to what we were talking about?? :) faxing today..a few days for paperwork and then information will be sent out!! :) blotchy!! :)
Have you ever heard of EXPO the furniture, tools,..type place? Google and you could sign up for their catalog..the stuff is pricey but they give fabulous ideas!!

and btw--- i just love the relationship you have with your mom.
happy tuesday!
- Happyone said...
Wow, that sounds complicated. Another reason I'm glad we chucked out our TV. :-)
You didn't really eat all those desserts at one time did you? :-)
I never do good at buffets - I can't eat much before I get full and I don't like that feeling.
Have a great Tuesday.
- Dave said...
I am not sure if you have seen National Treasure at the movies recently but here in Canada there was a Disney cartoon starring Goofy at the beginning of the movie and it is sooo applicable to your parent's DVD, TV remote story. I am going to have to see if I can track it down on the net for you.
- Portia said...
I think the whole HD conversion thing, while nice for those who can afford/understand it is, for the most part, a crock of you know what. But it's nice that you were able to figure out your parents' and leave them with a little direction. If I ever get one I know who to call:)
Have a happy Tuesday!
- Becca said...
Oh why oh why did my appetite pick RIGHT NOW to kick in?!! Not only are my husband and daughter out running errands and about an hour from coming home, but I had to read about your scrumptious buffet!!! Hopefully David and Bren will be home fast so they can fix me a PB&J...being laid up has it's benefits. :)
Thanks for plugging my blog.
I found Landon Pigg by searching for the song I heard on the Diamonds are Forever Commercial. The song was just so honest and romantic, and as it turns out, so are most of Landon's songs. He's a great song writer and I'm glad I found him and that you like him too!
Take care!!

It's hump day...are you enjoying it a bit?
- Jamie said...
That sounds like a perfectly WONDERFUL day. And YOU are such a good daughter. I should be so much more like you. I feel guilty when I read all that you do with your mom.
Have a good day today!

Hope you are well and hope your day is going good!

it seems the more technical gadgets they come out with, the more complicated everything gets. who knew when black & white t.v.s first came out w/the big "rabbit ears," that one day it would evolve into all of this? i'd have to have instructions written down for me too.

(in which Little Wild Man and I played a fun
ABC Race game),
I scheduled an interview...
My head was spinning...
I got up and ready
for my 11:00am interview with
Rivers Edge Christian Academy.
The academy is a hybrid school-
part classroom, part homeschool.
If I am offered the position,
I would teach about 12 kiddos,
3 times a week,
and send home lesson plans for the parents
to teach their kiddos the other two days.
I think the interview went well,
and I am TRULY seeing this as a God sighting...
In the evening,
our sweet friend Marie came over for dinner
and taught Jungle Girl
(and re-taught me!)
how to crochet.
Jungle Girl is gonna open her own
Etsy store one day,
I just know it... ;0)
Our sweet little Girlie V came over
in the morning for a couple of hours in the morning,
and I let her play in our new
Olympic Explorer Box.
Then the kiddos crafted away
the rest of the day
until 3:30,
when we headed to the Farmer's Market
and learned all about the difference between
Insects and Spiders.
An educator from
Ijams Nature Center
was there to host the little workshop,
and she brought a couple of
creepy crawly friends with her-
a Tarantula and a giant Millipede.
After the workshop,
the kiddos played at the park's Splash Pad
and we grabbed Icees on the way home.
In the evening,
Super Dad and I discussed our options more
when it came to me and the possibility of working at
River's Edge...
This morning,
as I thought about the possibility of change,
I am feeling a peace.
A peace that only comes form the Spirit.
I am hoping now that the job is offered to me,
because it would really help us out financially.
it will change how I will be homeschooling the kiddos
this year.
I will still get to homeschool them
make some needed income for our family.
you just never know what God
has in store for you,
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;

Israel confirms Eastern European summit in Jerusalem canceled over Holocaust remark
Tuesday, 2019-02-19 10:28:44
A planned summit of Eastern European countries in Jerusalem was canceled on February 18, Israel's Foreign Ministry confirmed, following a remark by Israeli minister on Poles' accomplice with the Nazi Holocaust.
The summit was scheduled to be held on February 18-19 with prime ministers of the Visegrad Group, which includes Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia.
The summit collapsed after Israel's newly-appointed acting Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz said on February 17 that Poles "collaborated with the Nazis" during World War II.
Katz also cited Israel's former Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, saying that "Shamir's parents were murdered in the Holocaust by Poles."
On February 18 morning, Poland's Ambassador to Israel Marek Magierowski branded the remark "shameful and racist," writing on his Twitter account that Poland considers it "utterly unacceptable."
Later on February 18, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki condemned the remark and canceled the participation of his foreign minister in the summit. Morawiecki previously withdrew his own participation in response to a remark by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said last week that some Poles "cooperated with the Nazis."
After Poland's withdrawal from the meeting, the Czech Republic announced the summit was canceled.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry confirmed the meeting will not be held in Jerusalem.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Slovak Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini are already in Israel, and Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis is still planned to arrive.
Netanyahu will meet them separately for bilateral meetings, according to the Israeli Foreign Ministry.
The Visegrad Group meets once a year. After Netanyahu was invited to participate in the meeting in Budapest last year, Jerusalem was supposed to host the 2019 meeting.
The cancel of the summit was a serious blow to Netanyahu's foreign policy. The Israeli leader has been putting efforts over the past years in growing ties with V4 countries as part of his strategy to change the EU consensus on the Palestinians and Iran.

Listen to this article
In a chapel setting that exposes every nuance of phrasing and tone, it was fitting that American saxophonist Branford Marsalis had called his solo recital "In My Solitude". From first to last he immersed himself in an intense and demanding performance that only recognised the outside world to mimic exactly the slurred wail of a passing ambulance.
Marsalis has a command of the European classical tradition as well as jazz and his repertoire integrates both. His very sound blends the centred purity of the orchestral tradition with a relish for vocalisation. On this night, high-register notes, equally rounded on soprano and tenor sax, were as likely to end in a slide or guttural twist as hold true in a long-sustained whisper.
The evening ranged from stately baroque to raw Delta blues and from suave songbook classics to through-improvised abstractions based on a chirrup or single note. Over the course of the performance, Marsalis referenced the blues and bebop, Bach, Stravinsky and Fauré. And in each piece he captured the theme's essence while projecting his formidable personality.
The first set opened with Marsalis on soprano sax arpeggiating the melody of "Who Needs It". He repeated it at a whisper, extemporised each line and finally transformed the piece into wild octave leaps and tumbling cascades of sound. Next, fragments of melody hinted at swing-era greats, firmed up and crystallised into an oblique reading of Hoagy Carmichael's "Stardust". Then came a slightly mournful reading of an ornate Telemann fantasia, originally written for flute, played here straight on tenor sax.
Marsalis began the second set on alto sax with the ghostly, sustained notes of "Peacocks" slurring into a wall of malevolent ululations. The set progressed in downbeat mode, with tempos steady, Marsalis alternating between soprano and tenor saxes and classical influences to the fore.
Both halves ended with a syncopated spring in their step, the first with a homage to Sonny Rollins, the second with a composite bar-room blues that conjured rhythm, bass and honking tenor sax, though even here Marsalis squeezed in awkward phrases of his own creation.
The encore was "When the Saints". At first, people clapped along. But gradually they petered out, not because of a loss of rhythm, but because the music was simply too intense.
Tour continues to Norwich, Europe and Malaysia, branfordmarsalis.com

Korean Skin Care Routine Steps
The Korean skin care routine steps are ten unique steps. These steps are designed to make you have the best and healthiest skin possible, no matter of your skin type. The Korean skin care routine steps are all the rage right now in most places across the globe.
More and more women around the planet are practicing it for various skin conditions as well as for the genuine reason for wanting to maintain a healthy and younger-looking skin.
The philosophy behind the Korean skin care routine is simple; it does not rank beauty by the mere absence of acne marks or wrinkles. Instead, the Korean beauty regimen is based on how much effort you put into treating your skin so that it can glow from the inside out.
The Korean Skin Care Routine Steps are ten unique steps designed to address specific concerns. These are;
Step 1 – Korean Cleansing Oil
This step aims to remove oil based impurities from your skin.
Step 2 – Korean Foaming Cleanser
Foam cleansers, aim to draw any water based impurities the oil cleanser was unable to get rid of in step 1.
Step 3 – Korean Exfoliator
This step involves exfoliating your skin which helps to get rid of dead skin cells.
Step 4 – Korean Toner
A toner is used to restore your skin's pH balance to normal. Toners are useful because, after intense cleansing routines, your skin's pH can be thrown off balance.
Step 5 – Korean Essence
Essences hydrate and nourish your skin giving you're a fairer complexion. An essence speeds up your cell turnover rate making your skin visibly smoother and brighter.
Step 6 – Korean Serum
Serums are highly active potions that are designed to address specific such as dark spots or sagging skin.
Step 7 – Korean Face Mask
Face masks are pieces of cloth that are infused with concentrated skin-loving ingredients.
Step 8 – Korean Eye Cream
Eye creams aim to address issues pertaining the thinner skin beneath your eyes. Issues addressed include dark circles and fine lines.
Step 9 – Korean Moisturizer
Moisturizers restore your skin's moisture levels after intense cleansing routines.
Step 10 – Korean Sunscreen
The final step in a Korean skincare routine involves protecting your skin from the sun's UVA/UVB rays.

Retirement JoyJane Suffolk / 0 Comments /
In March 2017, our esteemed colleague, Lynn Farrimond retired after working for Tania Brown for 12 years. We at Tania Brown Ltd surprised Lynn with a gift of a night in a hotel in the Lake District for her and her husband.
Lynn has now stayed at the hotel and has sent us this lovely message and photos:-
"Just to let you know that I had a lovely time this weekend in the Lakes. The hotel was great and they made my stay special too. All the meals including afternoon tea were fantastic. We had a boat trip on Windermere and on the Gondola on Coniston. Please convey my thanks to everyone again who contributed to my retirement gift. It was a lovely idea and one I'll never forget. John enjoyed it too. "

Each one of us has a specialist area for which we are responsible. It's quite practical therefore that hunter lets us flexibly combine standard functions and individual customizations. This supports each user's personal working methods and saves us a lot of time in our daily work.
For example, I'm amazed at how much faster documents are created by using the automated functions. I can prepare a confidential report with information on a candidate and my impressions from telephone interviews much quicker than in the past. Using the customized templates, we can quickly prepare top-quality reports for our clients and accelerate the project's progress.
In the coordination of appointments, deadlines and projects, it is not only the synchronization between Microsoft Outlook and the hunter calendar that I find useful, hunter®REMINDER helps, too. It sends me reminders of upcoming tasks, appointments, project phases and with one click, I can switch from the respective project, company or person tab to view the underlying details."
Key benefits:
- Templates for efficient and uniform communication with applicants
- Seamless integration with Microsoft Office software
- Personal working methods are supported through a combination of standard functions and customization options
- Saves time through automation
- Functions to optimize the coordination of appointments and projects

As hundreds of titles hit the shops tomorrow, publishers hope for a happy ending to 2011
Alan Sugar, Steve Coogan, Lee Evans and Jamie Oliver will be among those doing battle from tomorrow, as publishers simultaneously release hundreds of titles in a bid to win a place on customers' Christmas shopping lists.
Dubbed "Super Thursday" by the book trade, this week will see publishers push books by everyone from Robert Harris to fictional teenagers The Inbetweeners using six-figure marketing budgets, newspaper tie-ins and in-store promotions. Over 200 titles will appear in supermarkets, high-street bookshops and online retailers, around three times the number released in an average week.
"I think this year will shape up very well against last year, one of the most high-profile years in recent memory, because there are some very big hitters," said Anna Valentine, editorial director at Harper NonFiction, which will publish Coogan's fictional Alan Partridge autobiography, I, Partridge: We Need to Talk About Alan. "To succeed, the books need to be distinctive and stage a launch which propels them into the bestseller ranks. Many of the titles will have a core readership which will help".
Century's May I Have Your Attention, Please?, the autobiography of comedian James Corden is being serialised in The Sun, while Cornerstone's The Fear Index, the new novel by Robert Harris, will grace The Daily Telegraph's pages.
Last year, 10 hardbacks released on "Super Thursday" each went on to make more than £1m in sales over the Christmas period. Last year's runaway success was Jamie Oliver's cookbook, 30-Minute Meals, which shifted more than 1.1 million units.
Century publishing director Ben Dunn said a "significant number" of releases would be non-fiction, reflecting wider trends within the industry. "Now more than ever, selling non-fiction outside the Christmas window is becoming impossible," he said. "Bookshops and readers have often rallied against that but with the recession and declining [non-fiction] hardback sales publishers are increasingly packing hardback releases into this time period."
Graeme Neill, news editor of The Bookseller, said: "Publishers see it as critical as a means of establishing their book in the public eye as early as possible. Word of mouth continues to be a massive way of driving sales and the earlier you can get people talking about and buying your book the better. It can pay off in a huge way... what makes a title a Christmas success is the question every publisher asks themselves when they sign a big deal for the autumn."
In the first two weeks of September 2010, £63m was spent on books in Britain. Sales over the same period this year have totalled just £55m, down 12 per cent, year on year.

The mass features an eclectic mix of traditional and ethnic sounds. The JUC Choir will be performing this work on December 16th. I look forward to celebrating the holiday season with a musical work I have not heard or sung before. It isn't that I don't enjoy the many renditions of the traditional Christmas Carols, The Nutcracker, and the Messiah, but I welcome a new musical way to express "'Tis the season!"

Useful info 1
It enables plugin developers to create special kinds of content (e.g. forms, content generators) that users can attach to certain pages by adding the corresponding shortcode into the page text.
The API handles all the tricky parsing, eliminating the need for writing a custom regular expression for each shortcode. Helper functions are included for setting and fetching default attributes. The API supports both self-closing and enclosing shortcodes.
Shortcode text written by providing a handler function. Shortcode handlers are broadly similar to WordPress filters: they accept parameters (attributes) and return a result (the shortcode output).
Shortcode names should be all lowercase and use all letters, but numbers and underscores (not dashes!) should work fine too.
The `add_shortcode()` function is used to register a shortcode handler. It takes two parameters: the shortcode name (the string used in a post body), and the callback function name.
Three parameters are passed to the shortcode callback function. You can choose to use any number of them including none of them.

Flower beds, edible gardens, 19 miniature replicas of Michelangelo's David … just a small sampling of items that you can install in your front yard if you're looking to potentially irk — or wage war with — neighbors, homeowners/condo associations or code enforcement officials. Today, let's add the interred body of your deceased wife to the mix.
In the northeast Alabama town of Stevenson, longtime resident James Davis, 73, is embroiled in a rather unfortunate legal battle with the city. The reason? In 2009, the carpenter buried his late wife, Patsy Ruth, near the hand-built log home that the couple shared for more than 30 years. And by near the home, I mean Patsy Ruth was laid to rest six-feet-under in a metal casket in the front yard, right next to the front porch and near the garage. (That's not the offending place of interment pictured up top, but you can view photos here.)
Although he was just obeying Patsy Ruth's final wishes, Davis interred his wife in the front yard in defiance of town brass who had rejected his request for a cemetery permit (the county health department did give the in-mourning widower the go-ahead for a residential burial, however). After failing to reach any sort of compromise, the city ended up suing Davis to have Patsy Ruth's remains relocated to a traditional cemetery (i.e. not his front yard). Earlier this year, a county judge ordered him to do so. However, the judge's order is currently on hold as the Alabama Civil Court of Appeals determines the final resting place of Patsy Ruth Davis.
Davis tells the Associated Press: "Good Lord, they've raised pigs in their yard, there's horses out the road here in a corral in the city limits, they've got other gravesites here all over the place. And there shouldn't have been a problem."
Well, here's the problem that Stevenson has with Davis' actions: although residential burials aren't too uncommon in Alabama — and as the AP points out, the northeast section of the state is a libertarian's paradise with few zoning laws — Stevenson officials worry that Davis' actions might spark a wave of residential burials in the more densely populated downtown area. Appearance, neighbor complaints, and decreasing property values as just a few of the concerns voiced by the city. "We're not in the 1800s any longer. We're not talking about a homestead, we're not talking about someone who is out in the country on 40 acres of land. Mr. Davis lives in downtown Stevenson," argues city attorney Parker Edmiston.
Naturally, not all of Davis' neighbors are too thrilled of headstones popping up in a non-Halloween décor context. Neighbor George W. Westmoreland even got into a physical altercation with Davis over the placement of the grave, but ultimately strong libertarian sentiments dictate his opinion on the matter: "I don't think it's right, but it's not my place to tell him he can't do it," says Westmoreland.
Davis himself plans to ultimately be entombed next to his wife in the front yard. He maintains that when that happens, his five children and 15 grandchildren will continue to look after the property. Until then, he'll keep on fighting for Patsy Ruth to stay put. "If they get it done it'll be after I'm gone. So if they order her to be moved, it's a death sentence to me. I'll meet Mama sooner than I planned on it."
An unusual and somewhat heartbreaking case … any thoughts?

Beluga lentil and baba ghanoush toast
By Vicky Cohen and Ruth Fox
| Prep
45 mins
| Cook
1 hr
| Calories
(per serving)
2 large aubergines
1 tsp salt
100g (3½oz) dried black beluga lentils, picked over and rinsed
75g (2¾oz) tahini
75ml (2¾fl oz) freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 1½ large lemons)
2 tbsp black sesame seeds
150g (5¼oz) pomegranate seeds (from about 1 medium-size pomegranate)
20g (¾oz) chopped fresh parsley
1 loaf of crusty vegan wholegrain country bread, sliced and toasted
1 Preheat the grill. Line a large baking sheet with aluminium foil or parchment paper.
2 Poke the aubergines on all sides with a knife 20-30 times (depending on their size), and place on the lined baking sheet. Grill on each side.
3 Remove the aubergines from the grill and let sit until they're cool enough to handle, about 20 minutes.
4 In the meantime, combine 1.35 litres (48fl oz) water and ½ tsp salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add the rinsed lentils and cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 20-25 minutes, or until tender but slightly firm. Drain well.
5 Cut the aubergines in half and, with the help of a spoon, scoop out all the flesh, discarding the skin and as many seeds as possible, you should end up with about 375g (13oz) aubergine. Transfer the flesh to a colander with a bowl underneath and let sit for 20 minutes. Discard any drained liquid.
6 Place the aubergine in a large glass bowl and mash it with a fork. Add the tahini, lemon juice and ½ tsp salt and mix until well incorporated.
7 Right before serving, add the sesame seeds, pomegranate seeds, cooked lentils and parsley and mix gently. Serve over the toasted bread. Store any remaining spread in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

In United States v. Windsor, the Supreme Court held unconstitutional, Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act's definition of marriage under federal law as the union of a man and woman. As a result of the case, federal laws providing rights to "spouses" had to be revised.
The Department of Labor has responded by adopting new regulations under the Family Medical Leave Act ("FMLA"). Under the regulations, for purposes of taking FMLA leave to care for a spouse, the term 'spouse' would be interpreted to mean 'a husband or wife as defined or recognized under the law of the state where the marriage was celebrated, including same sex marriage.
As a result of this definition, eligible Indiana and Illinois employees will be able to take FMLA leave to care for their lawfully married same-sex spouse with a serious health condition. Additionally, these same employees will be able to also take qualifying emergency leave due to their lawfully married same-sex spouse's covered military service.
The expansion of FMLA rights to same sex marriage also extend to an employee's right to take military caregiver leave for their lawfully married same-sex spouse. Finally, eligible employees will be able to take leave to care for a stepparent who is in a same-sex spouse marriage with the employee's parent.

Spring 2018: 'Shaw's Story' Sneak Peek!
Shaw's Story
Galesburg innovator's legacy lives on in Southeast Kansas – and across the country
Everyone who knew him says Stanley Wilbur Shaw was an inventor by nature.
At age 8, in the late 1880s, he assembled his first bicycle, using the wheels from his dad's cultivator (come corn plowing time, he later wrote, he had to return those wheels). By 10, he had made a crude clock and was repairing farm equipment and guns. A few years later, as a young teenager, he built his first engine.
It's no surprise, then, that Stanley would go on to make inventing his life's work, finding success making small engines that converted bicycles to motorbikes in the early 1900s. He would later make automobiles and vastly popular small tractors and garden equipment, like the Shaw Du-All and Peppy Pal tractors. Stanley's company, Shaw Manufacturing, was located … Read More »
Spring 2018: 'History on Route 66' Sneak Peek!
History on Route 66
Old Riverton Store a fixture of SEK – and Route 66 – since 1925
On the small, 13.2-mile stretch of Route 66 that calls Kansas home, there's a business that's been operating since 1925 – one year before the Mother Road was even established.
Old Riverton Store might very well be the oldest continuously operating business on Route 66. To the hundreds of overseas tourists – from China, Australia, Italy, you name it – who visit it each year, the store is a must-stop for Route 66 history and nostalgia. For Riverton folks, it's simply a staple of everyday life.
"I can't imagine there's another business like this on Route 66 that was around in 1925," says Scott Nelson, who took over Old Riverton Store in 2010. "It's just always been here…"

The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, is in the United States for the first time since she got married to Prince Harry in May 2018.
According to reports by multiple media platforms in the US, Markle is currently in New York City for her baby shower, which will take place today.
READ: Psychic Predicts Meghan Markle Will Birth A Girl Child, Says Taylor Swift Will Get Engaged In 2019
Markle's best friend and stylist, Jessica Mulroney, is also in town to celebrate with mom-to-be and will take charge of coordinating everything at the exclusive party, we're told, will take place at a hotel on the Upper East Side. There will be only 15 guests.
Markle arrived in New York on Friday, Feb. 15, and stopped by Ladurée's SoHo location on Saturday for macarons and tea in one of the bakery's private spaces, Harper's Bazaar reported.
Mulroney was also in town for an exclusive Harpers Bazaar shoot for New York Fashion Week.
It's unclear if Markle will also have another baby shower back home in the United Kingdom.
The Royals are expecting their first child to be born in the spring.

How Does Stock Illiquidity Affect the Informational Role of Option Prices?
29th Australasian Finance and Banking Conference 2016
67 Pages Posted: 9 Aug 2016 Last revised: 4 May 2018
Date Written: April 26, 2018
We argue that deviations from put-call parity can predict stock returns for mechanical reasons unrelated to informed option trading. Theoretically, in the presence of stock trading costs, it is more (less) expensive to replicate call options relative to put options when the price of the underlying stock is more likely to increase (decrease). Empirically, we identify this mechanism by separating the actions of hedgers and speculators using an exogenous short-sale prohibition with a limited exemption for option dealers. We use equity lending fees to proxy for option replication costs, and option order-flow imbalances to rule out the informed trading explanation.
Keywords: Put-Call Parity, Stock Return Predictability, Option Replication, Short-Selling
