Angels & Demons by Dan Brown
Prior to hitting the bestseller pot with Robert Langdon in THE DAVINCI CODE, Dan Brown composed ANGELS & DEMONS. It's a similar combination of blending a thoughtful assault on Catholic Church conviction with an amazing story filled with murder, strange puzzles as well as exciting goes after.
Few thriller writers would certainly try to mix the thoughtful implications of the most recent physics research, a historical anti-Church company which lots of conspiracies still believe controls the globe, and also the art and design of The Vatican City– all to make a rather serious point about the nature of truth as well as the internal reality behind both science and also religious beliefs.
It's reasonable why the Church did not permit the flick version to be shot inside the Vatican, however, I believe Langdon's objective is guided at Church bureaucrats that have actually shut minds.
Angels and Demons Begins with Murder
Like THE DAVINCI CODE, ANGELS & DEMONS begins with an unusual murder in an extremely not likely location. Although Robert Langdon is the technical hero of both books, it's the remarkable men that are murdered at the start of both books who really set up as well as manage the activity.
Professor Vetra is the globe's most established fragment physicists. Deep inside CERN– The European Company for Nuclear Research (English) or Organisation européenne pour la Recherche nucléaire (French) in Switzerland, he should have been secure. Rather he's located dead, branded with the symbol of a company believed obsolete for many years– The Illuminati.
What's worse, the intruder stole a substantial piece of Professor Vetra's latest achievement, the isolation of anti-matter. When anti-matter touches matter, both are transformed right into power. In other words, it can be utilized to make a brand-new type of bomb.
The path brings about the Vatican where all 165 Cardinals of the world are gathered for The Holy Conclave to choose the next pope.
Meanwhile, we're lead to think, the Illuminati have hired a Muslim Hassassin. (Centuries ago the Hassassin were killers for hire– type of a Middle Eastern variation of ninjas, but kept high on hashish. Like the Illuminati, this organization is a historic truth yet has not been presence for lots of years.).
Robert Langdon and also the teacher's little girl Vittoria follow a path of hints with Vatican City to find the stolen anti-matter prior to it's used to kill the Cardinals.
Ultimately, they assist in saving the Catholic Church from its most fanatic advocate. Plus, the writer uses a senior cardinal as the voice of reason to discuss to guide's villain how he owes his actual life to the scientific research he despises.
Fast Moving Story
All this is told in a prose design that's useful and also fast-moving. Dan Brown will certainly never win any fine-writing awards. This book is brought by its thriller plot as well as thick, factual information.
I was let down by the revelation at the end. It all made sense, however lacked the historic move and also breadth stimulated throughout guide. I understand that's unclear, but to be much more particular would certainly be to hand out the finishing.
Allow's simply state that the publication's red herring was a whole lot extra interesting than its real villain.
Read it for its charm for spiritual resistance or its story or to learn more about Vatican City's well-known art as well as style.

Word Up '95 is here to prove that people will indeed flock to this idea, and profit can be made for whoever believes in it enough to lend their time. The long-term goal is to have one area where all the animals, music, and sports can be while also being totally portable with Ford Ranger pickups to tow whatever needed. Krayon Koz will continue to work hard for this goal while also expanding on the clothing line that is 'Word Up '95 Style' available on the MERCH page. The long-awaited album 'No Lawyers' will drop in 2013 as well, and it is guaranteed to be something that changes pop, hip-hop, and music as we know it.
spoiler alert: Krayon got his ear for melodies by playing cornet since 1st grade, and will bring back this skill to the album 'No Lawyers' to push the limits of what is mainstream. Special guests and his resurrected use of harmonica that were used in both previous albums (The Krayon Project, Karikkulum) will appear as well, along with other surprises in both the videos and songs that cannot be written in words. Word Up '95 could not be more excited for 2013!

David Michael Letterman sourcescbs.com/late_night/late_show/bio/
David Michael Letterman Biography:
He was eventually offered his own late night show. His comedy was nicely satisfied to the late-late hour, as well as the show became widely popular. When NBC gave Carson's place to Jay Leno, Letterman moved to CBS to host Late Show. In April 2014, Letterman declared his plans to retire in the show in 2015.
He's two sisters, Janice and Gretchen.
Letterman is famous for his gaptoothed self-mockery, and his brash, wry, somewhat skeptical sense of humor. His non-traditional manner and sense of humor brought a cult following, which has gone to inspire countless comedians and talk show hosts that have followed him.
He worked in Indianapolis as a radio talk show host, the host of a kids' program as well as a late night film show, a news anchor so when a television weatherman, where his brand of comedy was already apparent, or even always valued. One night he apparently upset his bosses when he congratulated a tropical storm on being upgraded into a hurricane.
In 1975, Letterman moved to La and composed content for popular situation comedies, including Good Times. His big break came when he started appearing on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, whom he has since called his mentor. In 1978, he became Carson's frequent guest host, as well as in 1980, he was offered his own daytimeshow, theDavid Letterman Show. The show only lasted for three months, but was a critical success, and convinced NBC TV to offer the young comic a late night show following Carson's The Tonight Show.
The late-late show hour was well-satisfied to Letterman's brash and far-out wit. Late Night with David Letterman soon became popular using a young audience by combining the standard talk show elements of star guests and music along with his irreverent style and zany comedian stunts.
Letterman's trademark characteristics range from The Top Ten List, Stupid Pet Tricks (along with its company, Stupid Human Tricks), Viewer Email and pencils thrown in the camera and in the set behind him, "breaking" the nonexistent glass using a cued crash sound. He's also famous for his parody sketches that targeted the clearly poor performing skills of his bandleader Paul Schaffer (and other members of The Planet 's Most Dangerous Group), stagehand Biff Henderson and general oddball Larry "Bud" Melman.
After NBC picked Jay Leno as the replacement for the retiring Johnny Carson in 1993 — a place Letterman had openly wanted — Letterman moved to CBS. He also founded his own production company, Worldwide Pants, the exact same year, which purchased a position in his new show.
His displeasure with NBC executives was fodder for his monologues, so when they blocked him from transferring routine top features of his show to CBS (asserting it was NBC's "intellectual property") that, also, was mocked on air. The years that followed this head to head rivalry spawned a novel and cable film recording the late night talk show "wars."
On January 14, 2000, fans were shocked to discover that Letterman underwent quintuple heart bypass operation. In typical Letterman style, the recuperating patient joked that "along with rerouting the arteries, they also installed an EZ pass."
In December 2006, Letterman renewed his contract with CBS, consenting to host The Late Show with David Letterman through the autumn of 2010. In 2009, Forbes additionally recorded Letterman as No. 14 on their list of most strong personalities in amusement.
In April 2014, David Letterman declared his plans to retire in 2015, and Stephen Colbert was identified as his replacement."I simply need to reiterate my thanks for the support in the network, all of the people that have worked here, all of the people who live in the theatre, all of the folks on the staff, everybody at home, many thanks very much," Letterman declared on air to his studio audience.
Letterman is famous for successfully keeping his intimate and private life under tight wrappings in the media. He's also been romantically linked to comedienne/writer Merrill Markoe. Then he started a relationship with production manager Regina Lasko in the mid '80s.
Letterman and Lasko observed the arrival of the son in 2003, and named him after Letterman's dad, Harry Joseph Letterman. On March 19, 2009, the couplewed in an exclusive courthouse service in Choteau, Montana, and Letterman declared his nuptials throughout the taping of his March 23rd show.
But just months after their relationship was rocked by means of a cheating scandal. On October 1, 2009, Letterman declared on his show he was the victim of an extortion effort associated with his infidelity.
After news of the scandal broke, Letterman also apologized to his wife on air:"she's been terribly hurt by my conduct, and when something happens like that, in case you damage someone plus it is your duty, you try and repair it."
The couple reconciled and now lives with their son on a 108-acre estatein North Salem, Ny.

Product Breakdown:
The NP Set Contour & Highlight Palette is a collection of all the products necessary to achieve a contoured face in one handy palette.
The palette comes in the standard NP Set acetate box, and the palette itself is cardboard with a magnetic closure.
When you open the palette you are presented with 4 pans of product and a reasonable sized mirror.
From Left to Right the colours are:
Off-White and a neutral Medium Brown (both Matte)
Warm Deep Rose Pink (Matte) and Palest Rose Pink (Shimmer)
For the most part I was pleasantly surprised by the pigmentation of this palette. 3 of the 4 products were pigmented enough to require a light touch with the makeup brush.
Swatches top-bottom: Shimmery Highlight; Deep Rose Blush; Medium Brown Contour and (if you can see it) Off-White Highlight.
The medium-brown contour shade has good colour payoff on my skin, and if you are new to contouring, I would recommend using a nice fluffy brush and a light touch to avoid looking dirty or muddy.
The deeper rosy blush also requires a lighter touch, and blended nicely, giving a fairly natural "flushed-cheek" look.
The pale pink shimmer highlight wasn't glittery or chunky, but rather, provided a lit-from-within glow.
Unfortunately the matte off-white highlight was virtually impossible to see on my skin. I struggled to get any colour payoff at all. This was disappointing, because I appreciate a contouring palette offering a matte highlight (which is quite on-trend for browbones at the moment). I just wish it would show up.
Ease of application:
Another pleasant surprise for me was the texture of these products. All 4 products are very smooth and creamy to the touch, with no grittiness whatsoever. The shimmery highlighter shade is a little crumbly in the pan, but translates beautifully on the skin.
The wear time on the Contour & Highlight Palette is average, if I apply them first thing in the morning, I feel like I need a top-up by about 3-4pm. Having said that, contouring is not really a technique I recommend for most people for day-wear, as it is very easy to stuff up and daylight is unforgiving. The longevity is just right for a night out somewhere special.
The packaging feels functional but not especially beautiful or luxurious.
The positive aspect of the packaging is that the this cardboard has a level of shock-absorbency, so should you drop the palette, hopefully the product would remain intact.
The less positive aspect of this packaging is the magnetic closure. It means that this palette is not exactly handbag friendly, unless it was kept in a separate makeup bag, or secured with an elastic band. My only other complaint about the packaging is the size of the pans and their closeness to each other. Unless you use fairly small brushes, it can be difficult to avoid contaminating the colour you are trying to pick up with the colour immediately next to it.
Anything else worth mentioning?:
Although a difficult skill to get right, contouring can add a world of dimension to your face.
Here's a picture of my with no makeup except foundation.
I know, I know, the foundation is too dark and yellow for me – I'm trialling a press sample.
Here I am a few minutes later. All I have done is add mascara and follow the instructions on the NP Set Contour & Highlight Palette exactly.
Instant Cheekbones!
Please excuse my slack-jawed expression, I am fighting off a cold and can't breathe through my nose.
Here's another photo, I added a pop of colour with a super-fun lipstick to finish it off.
What they say:
Contour, highlight and brighten your skin with this quartet of face-flattering shades. Celeb-worthy bone structure can be yours.
Step 1: Sweep the contouring bronzer directly underneath the cheekbone and on to the temples with a blush brush.
Step 2: Work the rosy blush onto the apple of the cheeks. Smile – like you mean it! – and blend towards the temples.
Step 3: Apply the pink highlighter above the cheekbone, to the bridge of the nose and the decolletage to capture the light. Blend the three shades together with a powder brush to keep it real.
Step 4: Use the white highlighter on the brow bones, eyelids, inner corner of the eyes, and the centre of the lips for a fuller-looking pout.
What's in it for me: Shea Butter softens while Jojoba Oil helps moisturise. Vitamins A, C and E provide antioxidant benefits.
Available from:
Target, Big W and Napoleon Perdis Concept Stores.

Prescot Watch Factory Development Begins
Work has begun on the development of the former Prescot Watch Factory.
The site, on Albany Road, will house 70 new residential properties, including 54 extra-care apartments in the watch factory building itself.
Sixteen extra-care bungalows will be built elsewhere on the site during the current phase of development, due for completion in April 2016.
A later phase of construction will see another 62 homes added.
Christian Bury, managing director at Harbur Construction, said: "The one and two bedroom apartments will transform the historical site into a thriving community in an area where demand for this type of housing is high.
"The new homes are being built in keeping with the site's rich heritage while providing modern living facilities to help elderly and disabled people live independently."
Partners at Knowsley Housing Trust and Liverpool-based Iliad also emphasised the transformation would be in keeping with the area's history.
"Prescot Watch Factory is of great significance to the historic fabric of Knowsley, with this Grade II listed building playing a key role in the industrial growth of the region," said Iliad's Ryan Cullen.
The original building was erected in 1889, when Prescot's traditional watch- and clock-making industry was in decline.
The Lancashire Watch Company used newer American methods to compete with the industry worldwide, but ultimately lost to its rivals and closed down in 1910.
During World War One it became the PALS barracks, and it later housed Tinling's printers.
Below: More artists' impressions of the final development.

The PlayStation 3 doesn't have a games portfolio for audiences such as families and kids, says Stephen McGill, Microsoft's head of gaming and Entertainment and Devises Division UK.
"If you look at the PS3 line-up it's quite heavy in shooters and drivers," McGill told CVG in a recent interview. "I'm pleased to say that our portfolio is quite appealing to the masses".
"We've got a great portfolio of games for kids, families, mums and girls", he continues. "As you come into Christmas I think you'll see our portfolio expand to over 300 titles with all the biggest franchises that everyone will want".
ha ha ha... this was really funny. i thought 360 was known as a shooter's console! q:
does this guy even listen to what people say in market???
to be fair i would agree with him on the current PS3 line up. That will change as more games are released though.
Lol this will become one wholesome flamebait but its funny to read peoples comment, as for the PS3 having more shooters and more driving games, i think PS3 has more sports games to be honest.

Studio Egret West is masterplanning a £1 billion regeneration of the area next to Tottenham Hotspur's new football stadium in north London
The London-based practice is working on developer Lendlease's major regeneration project High Road West. The scheme will create 2,500 homes, more than 18,580m² of commercial, retail and leisure space as well as a new public square and park.
The development will include tall residential buildings and will deliver 30 per cent affordable homes across the site, with approximately 430 shared ownership homes and 300 affordable rent homes.
Early concept designs, which are out for consultation, reveal plans for a public square, surrounded by shops and restaurants, which will link to the new White Hart Lane stadium.
The space, to be called Moselle Square, features a curved multi-tiered library as its centrepiece, with a residential high-rise above.
Lendlease, which Haringey Council chose as its development partner last year, said High Road West would provide replacement homes for secure tenants and residential leaseholders on the Love Lane Estate, where 297 homes are to be demolished to make way for the scheme.
Pollard Thomas Edwards (PTE) is also part of the design team and is working with residents to co-design a new block of homes for existing estate residents to move into while new homes are under construction.
HAT Projects, meanwhile, will be designing a refurbishment of the Grange, a Grade II-listed community centre which will also be used as an on-site office for Lendlease during the scheme's delivery.
Studio Egret West founding director David West said High Road West was a 'challenging, multi-faceted regeneration project'.
He added: 'We are responding with a layered approach that manifests itself in a series of character areas grown from the existing High Road and upgraded White Hart Lane station.
'Mixed-use throughout, the emerging plans include a sequence of new public spaces – yards, passage, park and square – that create the foundation for a cross-section of urban neighbourhood life.'
The Tottenham scheme is separate to the controversial Haringey Development Vehicle (HDV) which remains in limbo after former council leader Claire Kober quit over the scheme at the beginning of this year.
High Road West is being delivered through a different model to the HDV, with Lendlease acquiring the land itself rather than transferring it into a jointly owned enterprise.
A hybrid planning application with outline proposals for the site and first-phase plans for PTE's homes scheme will be submitted by the end of the year.

As i've mentioned before, the Australian government is reviewing the nation's Renewable Energy Target (RET) of 20% by 2020. A couple of community groups have come together with a great initiative - The People's RET Review.
The idea is to enable the people some say in the outcome. We all know the big energy companies (including my energy biller) will be making their voices heard (to decrease the target). So this is the chance for the Australian people to have our say.
Apart from voicing your opinion, there are also some interesting facts to discover along the way. For instance Scotland has already committed to 100% renewable energy!
Have your say in the People's RET Review

At the end of 1989 summer, I was stuck in a heartbroken and nostalgic mood, feeling isolated and abandoned in an unknown city, Padua-Italy, after had broken up with my boyfriend in the middle of a trip to Italy.
One day, I took my camera and I could not help to photograph any bike I found on my way. Like a bike thief I had followed an imperative compulsion. I have later realized that bikes reflected the abandon and solitude I was going through.
Every time I have exhibited this series, audiences have also experienced a nostalgic mood as well. Included the elderly inhabitants of Padua, for whom those photographs represent an emotional ride through the city that no longer exists, the one it used to be before automobiles and modern times. Maybe, everyone – as well as me – has a story to remember about a bicycle.

Supreme Court finds that minimum income rules for foreign spouses are lawful in principle
Children's Commissioner responds to judgment
Commenting on the Supreme Court ruling on income rules for foreign spouses, Children's Commissioner for England, Anne Longfield, has said:
"Although the Supreme Court found that the minimum income rules [MIR] are lawful in principle, I welcome the ruling that the Immigration Rules fail to give effect to the Secretary of State's duty to have regard to the need to safeguard and promote the welfare of children when making decisions which affect them and that alternative sources of income should be taken into account when evaluating claims.
"Skype Families, my research into the immigration rules, found that many families were living apart with parents stranded in another country unable to meet the high income thresholds required. thousands of British children were being raised by a single parent in the UK as a result because their parent here did not meet the minimum income needed for their spouse to join them from outside Europe. Children were found to suffer significant stress and anxiety from the separation of their parents and I hope that the Supreme Court's finding allows more British children to be raised by both their parents in stable, loving, family environments."
In four appeals the appellants claimed that the Rules themselves, and the Immigration Directorate Instruction on family migration giving guidance to entry clearance officers ('the Instructions'), are incompatible with the rights protected by the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), principally the right to family life in article 8, and unlawful under common law principles. One of the appellants is a child, and it was contended that the Rules fail to take account of the Secretary of State's duty under section 55 of the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009 ('the s 55 duty') to have regard to the need to safeguard and promote the welfare of children when making decisions which affect them. The fifth appeal was against the refusal of entry clearance because of a failure to meet the MIR on the facts of her case.
The Supreme Court found unanimously that the MIR is acceptable in principle but that the Rules and the Instructions fail unlawfully to give effect to the duty of the Secretary of State under section 55 of the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009. The Instructions also require amendment to allow consideration of alternative sources of funding when evaluating a claim under article 8.

When we are striving to strengthen our khushu, we should prepare ourselves for the prayer properly. We can do this by:
i) Repeating the words of the adhan after the muezzin.
ii) Pronouncing the dua to be recited after the adhan.
"اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الدَّعْوَةِ التَّامَّةِ، وَالصَّلَاةِ الْقَائِمَةِ، آتِ مُحَمَّداً الْوَسِيلَةَ وَالْفَضِيلَةَ، وَابْعَثْهُ مَقَاماً مَحْمُوداً الَّذِي وَعَدْتَهُ، [إَنَّكَ لَا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ].
Allaahumma Rabba haathihid-da 'watit-taammati wassalaatil-qaa'imati, 'aati Muhammadanil-waseelata walfadheelata, wab 'ath-hu maqaamam-mahmoodanil-lathee wa'adtahu, ['innaka laa tukhliful-mee'aad].
O Allah , Lord of this perfect call and established prayer. Grant Muhammad the intercession and favour, and raise him to the honoured station You have promised him, [verily You do not neglect promises]. (Recorded in Al-Bukhari)
iii) Making du'a between the adhan and the iqamah.
iv) Doing wudu properly, saying Bismillah before it and making dhikr and saying du'a after it.
أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ
Ashadu 'an la ilaha 'illallahu wahadu la sharika lahu wa 'ash-hadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa Rasuluhu.
I bear witness that none had the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, Who had no partner; and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger. (Recorded in Muslim)
اللّهُـمَّ اجْعَلنـي مِنَ التَّـوّابينَ وَاجْعَـلْني مِنَ المتَطَهّـرين.
Allahummaj-aalnee minat-tawwabeena wajaalnee minal-mutatahhireen.
O Allah, make me of those who return to You often in repentance and make me of those who remain clean and pure. (Recorded in At-Tirmidhi)
v) Using siwak to cleanse and perfume the mouth that is going to recite Qur'an in a short while, because the Prophet, peace be upon him, said:
"Purify your mouths for the Qur'an." (Reported by al-Bazzar)
vi) Wearing one's best and cleanest clothes, because Allah says,
"O Children of Adam! Take your adornment (by wearing clean clothes) while praying…" (Surah al-A'raf 7:31)
Allah is most deserving of seeing us 'take our adornment' for Him. Clean, pleasant smelling clothes are also more comfortable and relaxing, unlike clothes for sleeping or working in.
We should also prepare ourselves by covering our awrah properly, purify the spot where we are going to pray, getting ready early and waiting for the prayer, and making rows straight and solid, without any gaps, because the shaytan come in through the gaps in the rows.
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, used to move at a measured pace during salah, allowing every bone to return to its place.
Abu Qatadah, may Allah be pleased with him, said, 'The Prophet, peace be upon him, said:
'The worst type of thief is the one who steals from his prayer.' He said, 'O Messenger of Allah, how can a person steal from his prayer?' He said, peace be upon him, 'By not doing ruku and sujud properly.' (Recorded in Ahmad)
Abu 'Abd-Allah, may Allah be pleased with him, said, 'The Prophet, peace be upon him, said:
'The one who does not do ruku properly, and pecks in sujud, is like a starving man who only eats one or two dates; it does not do him any good at all.' (Recorded in al-Tabarani)
The one who does not move at a measured pace in his prayer cannot have khushu because haste is a barrier to khushu and pecking like a crow is a barrier to reward.
We should always remember that death could come to us at any time. The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, advised Abu Ayyub, may Allah be pleased with him:
'When you stand up to pray, pray a farewell prayer.' (Recorded in Ahmad)
The 'farewell prayer' means the prayer of one who thinks that they will not live to pray again. The person who is praying will know eventually they will die and will definitely have khushu.
The Prophet peace and blessings of Allah be upon him said:
'Remember death in your prayer, for the man who remembers death during his prayer will surely pray properly, and pray the prayer of a man who does not think that he will pray any other prayer.' (Reported from al-Suyuti)

Treating Astigmatism with Our Eye Doctor in Colleyville, TX
Having good eyesight is something many people take for granted, and some people believe that the only problems they need to watch out for in their vision, or their children's vision are nearsightedness or farsightedness, but there is another related issue seen frequently at Advantage Eyecare in North Richland Hills, TX that needs to be addressed; astigmatism, which causes a distortion of vision, as well as other issues.
What is Astigmatism?
Astigmatism is a refractive error, most often caused by an irregular shaped cornea, not a disease of the eye. There is a problem with the way the eye focuses light. Light can't come into a single focus on the retina, instead, there are multiple focus points in front of and/or behind the retina, which results in distorted vision. Unlike nearsightedness or farsightedness, the distortion caused by astigmatism is not dependent on distance but can occur for images at both close as far ranges.
Ideally, the cornea should be a spherical shape, which has meridians that are supposed to be vertically and horizontally symmetrical from one another.
Corneal astigmatism, one side is more curved than the other, throwing vision off balance.
Lenticular astigmatism, a variation of the shape of the lens inside the eye can also occur, although it is less frequent.
Also, about 90% of astigmatism cases are regular astigmatisms, which involve perpendicular meridian and are signified by the front surface of the eye being football shaped. When irregular astigmatism happens, it is often due to scarring on the cornea, which can happen during surgery, or an eye disease that causes thinning corneas.
Three Types of Astigmatism
Myopic Astigmatism - One or both principal meridians are nearsighted, if both they are nearsighted to differing degrees
Hyperopic Astigmatism - One meridian is farsighted to a different degree than others in the eye
Mixed Astigmatism -One meridian is nearsighted, the other is farsighted
Risks of Not Correcting Astigmatism
People who suffer from astigmatism are more likely to squint, or experience, eye strain, eye fatigue, or have headaches in addition to the blurring and distortion of what they see. Activities, such as driving or operating machinery, become unreliable.
For children who have astigmatism, the risks are greater since the eyes and their relationship to the brain is still in development. Many experience educational problems, less skill in sports, and social issues. Uncorrected astigmatism can also lead to lazy eye in children.
Correcting Astigmatism
Fortunately, identifying and correcting astigmatism is usually very standard at Advantage Eyecare, as it is found with a routine eye exam. Once identified, it can astigmatism can usually be corrected with eyeglasses, contacts, or refractive surgery, including LASIK.

Whether you live in North Richland Hills, or nearby Colleyville, TX, f you have a history of vision problems, have a sense that things just don't look right, or have a child whose vision is still developing, coming into Advantage Eyecare for an eye exam is a great first step for getting your eyes corrected and improving your quality of life.

Jeremy Abbott is man to beat, but Adam Rippon confident
- Men%27s field is wide open with Lysacek sitting out
- Reigning Olympic champion Lysacek is recovering from surgery
- Abbott says he plans to attempt quad in his long program
OMAHA -- Much of Adam Rippon's figure skating career has swerved like a figure eight. It has looped to great heights – he became the first man to win consecutive world junior titles – and it has dipped to disappointment.
Last year Rippon, 23, won the silver at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships then finished 13th at worlds. After struggling with a foot injury during the summer, Rippon said he's healthy and confident heading into nationals, which begin Thursday with the women's and pairs short programs. The men skate Friday.
"I definitely feel that I've come so close many times and I also feel that I've fallen from people's graces at the same time, but I feel that I'm on the right track. I don't see any reason why I couldn't deliver," Rippon told USA TODAY Sports Wednesday.
"I feel I'm always under the radar and I don't want that to happen anymore," Rippon said. "I want to be that guy who everyone expects to do well and knows it will happen."
A year from the Sochi Olympics, the men's field is certainly wide open – and weaker then it was at this point in the last Olympic cycle. The comeback bid by reigning Olympic champion Evan Lysacek has been derailed after undergoing surgery for a sports hernia in November. Lysacek, who hasn't competed since winning the gold in Vancouver, said he plans to rebound. "Count on 1 thing.... I'll be back!!" he tweeted Wednesday.
Before Rippon left for Omaha, Lysacek gave Rippon a bit of a pep talk. "It's nice to have a friend that's been there and done that," Rippon said. "He said, 'Stay in your zone, only focus on what you need to do, be selfish, just go out and skate.'"
Rippon is an elegant skater who practices the quad but rarely employs it in competition. The past few seasons, he's seemed in search of sustained success as he has skated from coach to coach. Since 2011 he's gone from training in Toronto to Detroit and now to Lake Arrowhead, Calif., under Rafael Arutunian, who once coached Michelle Kwan.
"When I switched to Rafael, I thought, 'Oh God, people are going to be just rolling their eyes," Rippon said. "But I feel like I'm really fortunate with the people I've worked with."
Rippon is a contender, but Jeremy Abbott, who's aiming for his fourth national title, is still is the skater to beat. Even so, the gap between the USA's best and the rest of the world is significant. The U.S. had a dismal showing at worlds last year with Abbott finishing eighth. Combined with Rippon's 13th, the two competitors had the lowest aggregate finish in history for the top two U.S. men.
"Jeremy has proven to be a very seasoned and complete skater. It's just a consistency issue and when you're competing against guys that are very, very consistent it's hard to be successful on the highest level," said Olympic champion and analyst Scott Hamilton. "The other American men, it's been a roller coaster ride. You need someone there that is bullet proof, ready to take on the world at a moment's notice and Jeremy needs to work that out."
After being undone in the past by a crisis of confidence, Abbott said he's in a better place mentally. He plans to attempt the quad in his long program. "I always thought I wasn't a good competitor and I always thought that the fear got the best of me," Abbott said. "Working with my sports psychologist, I learned I am a strong competitor … I do have that drive and fire. I'm really pleased with where I am at the moment."

PEER-REVIEWED SCIENCE : The Medieval Warm Period Was Indeed Global And Warmer Than TodayPosted: December 3, 2018 Filed under: Alarmism Debunked, Alarmism uncovered, Climate Change, Climate History, Climatism, COP24, Empirical Evidence, Fact Check, Global Cooling, Global Temperature, Global Warming, Medieval Warm Period, Pal-Review, Science, State Of The Climate | Tags: Climate Change, Climate history, Climatism, COP24, global cooling, Global Temperature, Global Warming, Grand Solar Minimum, Katowice, Medieval Warm Period, nature, Peer Review, Peer review study, science, Science and Environment, UN IPCC, UNFCCC 3 Comments
"No matter if the science of global warming is all phony…
climate change provides the greatest opportunity to
bring about justice and equality in the world."
– Christine Stewart,
fmr Canadian Minister of the Environment
"We've got to ride this global warming issue.
Even if the theory of global warming is wrong,
we will be doing the right thing in terms of
economic and environmental policy."
– Timothy Wirth,
President UN Foundation
WHEN prosecuting the case for "unprecedented" man-made Global Warming, the first thing you need to make sure of is that no recent climate era was as warm or warmer than the present, even if that means having to rewrite the past to fit your narrative.
THE Medieval Warm Period, also known as the Medieval Climate Optimum (due to conditions favoured for crops, life and civilisation to thrive) existed a short time ago in the climate record, from c. 950 to c. 1250., and has remained a thorn in the side, ever since, for today's
Global Warming Climate Change activist movement.
IN the 1990 IPCC report, the Medieval Warm Period was much warmer than the late 19th century:
THE IPCC's 1990 report dives deeper into the reality of the Medieval Warm Period and provides an insight into the cause of these warming periods:
"This period of widespread warmth is notable in that there is no evidence that it was accompanied by an increase of greenhouse gases."
BY the 2001 IPCC report, the Medieval Warm period disappeared and became much cooler than the late 20th century:
BY pure coincidence, in the year 1995 the IPCC made a decision to make the Medieval Warm Period disappear:
YOUTUBE clip of Dr David Deming's US Senate testimony on the "disappearance" of the Medieval Warm Period (see 01m:50s) :
Video of Dr David Deming's statement to the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment & Public Works on December 6, 2006. Dr Deming reveals that in 1995 a leading scientist emailed him saying "We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period". A few years later, Michael Mann and the IPCC did just that by publishing the now throughly discredited hockey stick graph.
IN case you missed it…
"I had another interesting experience around the time my paper in Science was published. I received an astonishing email from a major researcher in the area of climate change. He said, "We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period.""
The existence of the MWP had been recognized in the scientific literature for decades. But now it was a major embarrassment to those maintaining that the 20th century warming was truly anomalous. It had to be "gotten rid of.""
Statement of Dr. David Deming | U.S. Senate Committee
THE MEDIEVAL WARM PERIOD : GLOBAL and PEER REVIEWED
ACCORDING to multiple lines of "peer-reviewed science", the Medieval Warm Period was indeed 'global' and was as warm, if not warmer than today.
CLICK here for excellent interactive map of clickable peer-reviewed MWP studies in both North and Southern Hemispheres :
THERE is absolutely nothing unusual about today's so-called
Global Warming aka Climate Change.
LOOK at how many periods of warmth our planet has enjoyed during the past 10,000 years alone.
CIVILISATIONS flourished during those warm periods ("climate optimums"), and collapsed when they ended.
DID humans cause the Minoan warm period of about 3,300 years ago?
DID humans cause the Roman warm period of about 2,100 years ago?
DID humans cause the Medieval warm period of about 1,000 years ago?
WHAT about all of those other warm periods? Should we blame Fred Flintstone, perhaps?
IF the downward trend in temperature of the past 3,300 years continues, we could be in a heap of trouble. While our leaders keep on wringing their collective hands over global warming, we could be blindsided by an ice age.
ALL this talk about human-caused global warming is sheer nonsense, if not downright fraud. The record shows that both periods of warmth – and periods of cold – hit our planet with almost consistent regularity.

GREENLAND No Warmer Now Than The 1880s 🇬🇱Posted: April 21, 2018 Filed under: Greenland | Tags: climate, Climate Change, Climate science, Global Warming, Greenland, Medieval Warm Period, temperature data Leave a comment
By Paul Homewood
h/t NoTricksZone
As I have shown many times, data from long running stations show that temperatures recently in Greenland have been no higher than the 1930s.
A new paper, which uses Reanalysis data from KNMI, pushes the record back further.
As we can see, Greenland temperatures were also at a similar level to now as long ago as the 1880s.
Indeed, it is noticeable that the really anomalous period was that extremely cold interval, which began in the 1950s and lasted till the 1990s.
Climate Revisionism 101 : "We Have To Get Rid Of The Medieval Warm Period"Posted: March 18, 2018 Filed under: Climate Fraud, Climate History, Climatism, Data Tampering, Fact Check, Govt Climate Agenda, Medieval Warm Period, Michael Mann, Pseudo-Science | Tags: Climate Change, climate fraud, climate optimum, Climate science, Data Fraud, Data Tampering, Dr David Deming, Global Warming, Hockey Stick, IPCC, Medieval Warm Period, Michael Mann, Scientific Fraud, Temperature Data Fraud, UN, UN IPCC, US Senate, US Senate Testimony 4 Comments
WHEN you are a man-made global warming alarmist prosecuting your case as "unprecedented", you need to make sure that no recent climate era was as warm or warmer than the present, even if that means having to rewrite the past to fit your theory.
THE Medieval Warm Period, also known as the Medieval Climate Optimum (for obvious reasons) existed a short time ago in the climate record, from c. 950 to c. 1250., and has remained a thorn in the side for modern "global warming" catastrophists…
HOTTEST Arctic Ever?

EXCELLENT piece by our friend and environmental scientist Vijay Jayaraj on the recent mass hysteria over the supposed "hottest day evah" in the Arctic.
Vijay's piece, featured in Town Hall, demonstrates how the Climate Crisis Industry will latch on to any daily (hot) weather event in order to push their CAGW agenda yelling "GLOBAL WARMING" without any consideration for historical reference or indeed common sense…
"Those who count the Arctic warmth as evidence for global warming should count the Eurasian [cold] as evidence for global cooling"
This week, social media and mainstream media were abuzz with news about the record Arctic heat and how we humans are destroying our planet through climate change.
While we brace for a barrage of climate doomsday news, here is the actual reality of climatic conditions at the Arctic and reasons why we are not in imminent danger.
On 26 February, temperatures in some regions of the Arctic hovered around the freezing point (zero degree Celsius)—a record high for this time of year in the satellite era temperature readings (which began in the late 1970s).
But the current rise in Arctic temperature is due not to changes in global average temperature but to changes in regional weather patterns. Changes in the weather system across the Scandinavian region are pushing very warm, moisture-laden Atlantic air into the Arctic and very cold Arctic air into Northern Eurasia, leading much of Europe into a deep freeze this week.
(Those who count the Arctic warmth as evidence for global warming should count the Eurasian code [cold] as evidence for global cooling.)
The same has been prevalent over North America this week, resulting in a colder than normal winter in some parts while temperatures soar towards the east coast.
To understand the sudden peak in arctic temperatures, it is critical to analyze two key elements associated with the Arctic climate: 1. past temperature trends, and 2. the historic variations of the sea ice cover in the Arctic.
Temperature records for the Arctic reveal that the current rise in temperature is not unusual.
The weighted Arctic (70–90oN) monthly surface air temperature anomalies (from HadCRUT4) show that average surface temperatures in the Arctic have not increased significantly since the 1930s.
Long-term (1880–2018) Arctic surface annual air temperature series from Nuuk, Greenland, show that the high temperatures in the recent years are not significantly higher than the previous 14 decades.
Climate alarmists argue that these high temperatures lead to extreme reduction in sea ice levels and upset the eco-system of the planet.
However, sea ice variations reveal a similar pattern to that of temperature—there has been no extreme reduction of sea ice in recent decades.
The latest studies on Arctic sea ice indicate that sea ice cover during the 20th century did not depart significantly from the record sea ice levels during the Little Ice Age (1600–1700 AD).
And understandably, the sea ice cover was at its 2000-year low during the Medieval Warm Period (1000-1200 AD) and during the Roman Warm Period (around 0 AD).
If one were to consider longer temperature data series, such as the entire Holocene (the warm climatic era that constitutes the last 11,700 years approximately), we have no reason to panic about sea ice cover.
Sea ice cover in the 20th century was at its highest ever (excluding the Little Ice Age of 16thcentury) in the last 11,000 years.
Solar activity, and not carbon dioxide, was found to be the main reason for changes in the historical sea ice variations.
The current sea ice loss is not extraordinary by any means, and the Arctic ecosystem survived through much lower ice cover extent in the past 2000 years.
Lying about sea ice and temperatures is not new for the climate alarmists, and their hypocrisy will surely reach new heights this spring.

Hottest Arctic Ever? Arctic Climate Change Fairytales vs. Reality – Vijay Jayaraj |Town Hall
(Climatism bolds)
MEANWHILE, as the climate mafia bloviates inside their WEATHER = CLIMATE bubble, the other conveniently forgotten pole, Antarctica, continues its long 40 year+ cooling trend, gaining ice mass despite record and rising CO2 levels and claims of "The Hottest Years Evah"…
From the abstract:
Mass changes of the Antarctic ice sheet impact sea-level rise as climate changes, but recent rates have been uncertain. Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) data (2003–08) show mass gains from snow accumulation exceeded discharge losses by 82 ± 25 Gt a−1, reducing global sea-level rise by 0.23 mm a−1.
Mass gains of the Antarctic ice sheet exceed losses | Journal of Glaciology | Cambridge Core
"The role of the lowest solar cycle for at least a century is mostly ignored by believers in man-made global warming. There are signs of climate change, but not necessarily the kind they expect." – Rog Tallbloke

From the first IPCC report
There is growing evidence that worldwide temperatures were higher than at present during the mid-Holocene (especially 5 000-6 000 BP), at least in summer, though carbon dioxide levels appear to have been quite similar to those of the pre-industrial era at this time (Section 1 i Thus parts were a few degrees warmer in July during the mid- Holocene than in recent decades (Yoshino and Urushibara, 1978, Webb ct al 1987, Huntley and Prentice, 1988, Zhang and Wang 1990) Parts of Australasia and Chile were also warmer. The late tenth to early thirteenth centuries (about AD 950-1250) appear to have been exceptionally warm in western Europe, Iceland and Greenland (Alexandre 1987, Lamb, 1988) This period is known as the Medieval Climatic Optimum China was, however, cold at this time (mainly in winter) but South Japan was warm (Yoshino, 1978) This period of widespread warmth is…

I wanted to share a couple of my FAVORITE learning apps for elementary children (primarily ages 4-8) with a few of you as I have been in discussion with some of you regarding these. These are our FAVORITE. Not only do we love them, but they are incorporated every single school day in our home. They have taught my kids wonderful things, and we think they are a GREAT tool!
The first is LEARN WITH HOMER. It is my FAVORITE! You can try it for one month for FREE so I suggest that even if the $8 a month isn't in your budget, you try it for free! It has won all kinds of awards and is perfect for ages 4-6. You can also do this one right on the computer. This has two major "sections." The first is one for learning to read. The second is for learning great subject matters (the incas, health, different animals, etc.)
The second is Teachme. Here is the link to the second grade one but you can start with toddler, preschool, K, 1, etc. This one is very cheap ($2 per grade) and you can have multiple kids on each grade level. We do this every day for 15 minutes to refine skills when I just need a break from direct teaching. This app does a little bit of math, reading, and writing and is definitely worth the money.
And then there is REFLEX MATH. Here is a link to this one! This has been the BEST thing we have done Math-wise. It says it is for grades 2-8 but I totally disagree and think you can start it with K or probably 1st grade. It basically provides games to DRILL math facts. It is set up for kids to get on and do themselves for 15 minutes each day. It gives them a green light when they are done for the day. You can do a 14 day trial. After that it is $35 for a year. This program has brought my children's math facts to a great place. (There is an add/subtraction option and then multiply/divide) option.
And my last all-time favorite is Stack the States (or the follow-up Stack the Countries.) I cannot begin to say enough about this game and what it has done for my kids geography. They love it and have learned SO much. We have also used this site online with great success. This one is also very cheap -- and you can buy a lite version to try it for free. Your children do need to be able to read to do this one.

Actresses need to be pickier than men about with whom they work if they want to survive in the movie industry, suggests a new study.
"My research indicates that women in the film industry suffer a lack of access to future career opportunities when they tend to work with people who have collaborated frequently in the past," said Mark Lutter, lead author of the study and head of the "Transnational Diffusion of Innovation" Research Group at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies (MPIfG) in Germany.
Non-heterosexual women who feel a disconnect between who they are attracted to and how they identify themselves may have a higher risk of alcohol abuse, according to a new study led by Amelia E. Talley, an assistant professor in Texas Tech University's Department of Psychological Sciences.
The American Sociological Association (ASA) filed an amicus curiae brief yesterday with the Supreme Court of the United States in the same-sex marriage cases currently pending before the court. The ASA's brief highlights the social science consensus that children raised by same-sex parents fare just as well as children raised by different-sex parents.
Growing up in poverty or being abused by parents can lead to accumulated health problems later in life, according to research from Purdue University.
"Childhood disadvantage has long-term health consequences—much longer than most of us realize," said Kenneth F. Ferraro, distinguished professor of sociology. "A novel aspect of this study is that childhood disadvantage was linked to the onset of new health problems decades later."
A new study finds that more than half of all "children" in the U.S. either misperceive or reject their parents' political party affiliations.
Children of undocumented Mexican immigrants have a significantly higher risk of behavior problems than their co-ethnic counterparts with documented or naturalized citizen mothers, according to a new study.
The difficulties come in two forms: sadness or social withdrawal — what the authors refer to as internalizing behavior problems — and issues such as aggressiveness towards others — which the authors call externalizing behavior problems.
Daughters of interracial parents are more likely than sons to identify as multiracial, and this is especially true for children of black-white couples, according to a new study in the February issue of the American Sociological Review.
The majority of young women and men today would prefer an egalitarian relationship in which work and family responsibilities are shared equally between partners if that possibility were available to them, according to a new study from the University of Texas at Austin and the University of California-Santa Barbara.
America's welfare state is quietly evolving from needs-based to an employment-based safety net that rewards working families and fuels dreams of a better life, indicates a new study led by a Michigan State University (MSU) scholar.
The major reason: the little-known Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), a $65 billion federal tax-relief program for poor, working families. The program has been expanded dramatically during the past 25 years, while cash welfare has been sharply curtailed.
Encouraging adversaries to have more interpersonal contact to find common ground may work on occasion, but not necessarily in the U.S. Senate, according to new research.

Juan Sandiego, founder of Boreal Abode, took home the Best Newcomer Blog Award at the 2018 Interior Blog Awards. On a mission to inspire people to find their "happy at home", Juan swept the judges away with his passion for interiors. The IBA Blog catches up with Juan after his win…
Where do you find inspiration for your blog content?
Inspiration kicks in at random times so I usually carry my phone around with me to take quick notes. I have a document with dozens of ideas. Some become blog posts. Others become subscriber-only articles. And if they're succinct, Instagram posts.
Going for a walk in the park, reading a book or even commuting on the train. My best ideas often appear in unexpected locations. I don't believe in writer's block. There's always something to write about. No-one has ever experienced talker's block, as Seth Godin said.
What's the best blogging tip you've ever been told?
I've read countless articles and books about blogging. Sometimes you have to take those tips with a pinch of salt because we're all different.
The best piece of advice came from Henri Junttila. He said there's no need to find your voice when writing. All you have to do is uncover your own unique voice. It's there already. The one you use every day. That struck a chord as I realised there's no need to write like a fancy magazine. Uncovering your own voice is the easiest way to infuse your writing with personality.
How did you feel when you won the IBA18 Best Newcomer Blog award?
I felt immensely grateful. Being surrounded by such a supportive community was completely heart-warming. To be honest, the whole night was a bit of a blur! I woke up the next thinking "Did it really happen?"
My only regret was not having enough time to talk to other shortlisted bloggers. Or meeting all the blogging icons I follow religiously. They've set the path of the interiors blogging industry. Everyone was incredibly nice, though. Being amongst people following their passions is very inspiring. To be nominated is one thing; to be shortlisted is another… to actually win, amongst such gifted bloggers… I'm just very grateful.
What inspired you to start an interiors blog?
I'd previously written blogs about photography, graphic design, happiness quotes (yes, really), travel and music. Even though I liked those topics, I wasn't channelling my passions, as such. That's why most were abandoned.
When I moved to my current house, however, it was a blank canvas. Decorating the house room by room sparked my curiosity about interior design. The rules, the principles, the styles, etc. I wanted to make it my forever home. I also realised I could incorporate my existing interests – photography and graphic design – in a new format… and Boreal Abode was born.
What started as a blog topic has now become a new journey: I study interior design part-time. Expanding my knowledge in design and feeding my incessant curiosity on the way.
Do you have any advice for new bloggers?
Be social. Respond to every comment and mention. Interact with other bloggers and share their content. If you loved someone's blog post, why not leave a comment and share it with your followers?
Your audience enjoys carefully curated stories from other sources. And other bloggers will appreciate it. They're not your competitors. They're your allies and mentors. We're all part of the same community. Above all, be yourself and write from the heart; your passion may become someone else's inspiration.

Preparation time: 30mins
Cooking time: 10 to 30mins
Serves: 2
1 medium dried ancho chilli, deseeded
500ml/18fl oz warm water
375g/13¼oz masa harina (fine corn meal)
½ tsp sea salt
1 large onion, finely chopped
corn oil for frying
300g/10½oz feta cheese, crumbled
1. First prepare the chilli by removing the seeds and cutting it into large chunks. You can do this with scissors or with your fingers. Be careful when dealing with chillies some can be hot and it is best to use rubber gloves. Add 250ml/9fl oz of hot water and leave for a few minutes to make an infusion. Pass through a sieve until you get a smooth paste, it should be dark in colour and fairly thick.
2. Place the masa harina in a mixing bowl. Add the chilli paste (you can do this with a machine or by hand), the salt and the rest of the water. Mix until fully incorporated and the dough resembles marzipan. Leave to rest for a few minutes.
3. Sauté the onion in two tablespoons of oil and when soft and brown, mix with the feta to make the filling.
4. Make the tortillas by placing approx 30g/1¼oz of the dough in between two sheets of plastic and flatten with a rolling pin or if you have one with a tortilla press, you should get a tortilla that is about 8cm/3in in diameter.
5. Take the tortilla from the plastic sheets and fill with about 15g/½oz of the filling, placed in the middle to go across the tortilla,fold in half; you should have something that resembles a half moon with the filling on one side of the enchilada.
6. Repeat the process and when you have finished, heat up some oil - about 150ml/5¼fl oz - in a wide frying pan. When it is smoking, place three or four of the enchiladas with the remaining tortillas and gently cook for about two minutes on each side in the oil. They will go darker in colour and crisp. When they are all crisp, remove from the heat and place the enchiladas on kitchen towels so that the oil drains as much as possible.
7. Serve on a bed of lettuce and eat with guacamole or salsa on top. They can be served hot or cold. To re-heat, simply place on a baking tray and heat them in the oven at 140C/248F/Gas 1 for five minutes. They are perfect as starters or as finger food.

All about the sport gears & sportswear
If your child is interested in sports ball games, it is worth buying a special sports ball. Depending on the type of game sports balls are football, volleyball and basketball. They differ both externally and qualitatively. The easiest of them is a ball for volleyball. The basketball has good jumping ability, it is larger in size and quite heavy. The soccer ball has intermediate values, both in size and weight.
