Setting advance tennis court booking rules / permissions
These rules apply to your players to book courts from their computer, phone (browser) or app.
Tennis court booking permissions / restrictions are a function of Member Type / Court Group / Reservation Restrictions, and Player Access. More advanced controls are applied to court be day of the week, time of day, and designated start times (forcing play to start at certain times and for certain increments).
The basics:
- Member Types control advance court booking rules (and pricing in TennisCollect and the designated logged in landing page)
- Court Groups 'group' courts
- Reservation Restrictions, by member type, control how far in advance a player can book a court
- Player Access controls (by Member Type and Court Group) the courts a player can access and what they can view and/or book
Please see this tutorial for implementing your court booking rules: https://www.screencast.com/t/inHIBUMBuIO0

What is changing?
On 24 December 2018, all active Indian accommodation partners who are not registered for the Indian Goods and Services Tax (GST) will be switched over to Payments by Booking.com.
In this system, the accommodation partner doesn't need to take payments from their guests. Instead, Booking.com will collect payment on their behalf and then transfer them the money – minus the commission and GST.
Why is this happening?
Recently, the Indian government updated GST regulations. As an e-commerce operator, Booking.com is obliged to collect and pay GST on the room rate to the Indian government.
What does it mean for properties?
To comply with local regulations, we'll need to switch all properties that aren't GST-registered to Payments by Booking.com. That's why Indian accommodation partners should check their GST registration status as soon as possible. Non-GST-registered properties should also add their bank details in the Booking.com extranet to ensure they receive payouts correctly.
They can update their information in the extranet 'Finance' tab.
Any partners who do not provide us with GST registration information will be automatically switched to Payments by Booking.com.
What does it mean for you?
This won't affect the way your work with any of your Indian properties. However, if accommodation partners get in touch with you about this, please advise them to check their GST registration status and bank details in our system.
For more information on these changes, partners can visit the Payments by Booking.com page.

Otoplasty (ear pinning)
Protruding and drooping ears or torn earlobes can be surgically corrected. Exceptionally large ears or those that stick out make children vulnerable to teasing. These procedures do not alter the patient's hearing, but they may improve appearance and self-confidence.
Corrective surgery, called otoplasty, should be considered on ears which stick out more than 4/5 of an inch (2 cm) from the back of the head. It can be performed at any age after the ears have reached full size, usually at five or six years of age. Having the surgery at a young age has two benefits: the cartilage is more pliable, making it easier to reshape, and the child will experience the psychological benefits of the cosmetic improvement. However, a patient may have the surgery at any age.
The surgery begins with an incision behind the ear, in the fold where the ear joins the head. The surgeon may remove skin and cartilage or trim and reshape the cartilage. In addition to correcting protrusion, ears may also be reshaped, reduced in size, or made more symmetrical. The cartilage is then secured in the new position with permanent stitches which will anchor the ear while healing occurs.
Typically otoplasty surgery takes about two hours. The soft dressings over the ears will be used for a few weeks as protection, and the patient usually experiences only mild discomfort. Headbands are sometimes recommended to hold the ears in place for a month following surgery or may be prescribed for nighttime wear only.
- To learn more about Otoplasty
Rhinoplasty, also referred to as nose surgery or nasal reconstruction, is a surgical procedure that can shorten or lengthen the nose, change its shape or contour, narrow nostrils, or lift and define the tip.
Each year thousands of people undergo surgery of the nose. Nasal surgery may be performed for cosmetic purposes, or a combination procedure to improve both form and function. It also may alleviate or cure nasal breathing problems, correct deformities from birth or injury, or support an aging, drooping nose.
When planning rhinoplasty, your surgeon considers your features, the skin on your nose and what you would like changed. The upper portion of the nose is bone, and the lower portion is cartilage. Rhinoplasty can modify bone, cartilage or both.

Blackmores Multi B helps to replenish nutrients depleted due to strenuous physical activity. B vitamins aid in producing energy from food, help support the healthy functioning of the nervous system and may be of assistance during times of stress.
Features and benefits
Vitamin B helps regulating inflammation and also have roles in the number and maturation of B cells, as well as antibody production
How it works
The B vitamins are a group of water-soluble vitamins commonly found together in foods. The B group vitamins play an essential role in the metabolic processes of all living cells by serving as coenzymes in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats to produce energy. Also, the normal function and maintenance of the nervous system relies on the presence of the B group vitamins for the production of hormones and neurotransmitters.
Water soluble vitamins are not stored by the body in large amounts, therefore regular consumption of these vitamins in the diet is necessary. Various situations may increase the need for the B vitamins above that which can be provided by a normal diet. For example, stress increases the requirements for the vitamin B group. Overindulgence in alcohol can also affect the absorption and use of the B group vitamins, especially B1 and folic acid.
Adults - Take 1 tablet daily with food. Children under 12 years - Not recommended.

You may remember a couple of weeks ago I posted a brief snippet about the IVAW bus that caught fire while parked at a truck stop or rest stop. Some on the Left were claiming it was arson and the perps were the Brown Shirted Wingnut Bushites. A member of VVAW actually claimed it was firebombed but that was later retracted.
Well my good buddy Denis did some followup on the case since no one has been arrested for attempted murder. Surprise Surprise - it was far from a deliberate attempt to silence the anti-war voices on the left.
With that lack of follow-up and no regular media reporting on what would be a significant story if it indeed were a politically motivated arson, I tried to find out on my own. Photos of the bus being towed showed that the tow truck belonged to Riehl's Towing & Maintenance, which I found out was in Clarksboro, NJ. Riehl's told me that the responders were members of the Carney's Point Fire Department. When I contacted them, the Deputy Chief told me that there was no arson investigation and would not be. The fire began in the closed engine department and burned outward, and was believed to have been caused by an equipment malfunction or failure. There was no indication of, much less evidence of arson.
They knew that weeks ago. The day after the fire Riehl's towed the truck to a salvage yard, not a facility where criminal evidence would be kept.
So why has IVAW and others let the story and assumption of an intentional crime linger, when they could have cleared it up?
Damn those facts have gotta hurt.... But nothing fires up the masses like tossing out a claim of arson and attempted murder and then letting it just hang out there. Kinda like all those claims from Fallujah in April 2004 and Haditha.
Will anyone issue a retraction or clarification or even an apology for the knee-jerk reaction? I will not be holding my breath....

Question: My baby is 3 weeks old and I am itching to exercise.
Answer: At 3 weeks your body will be tapping into sources that have not fully recovered. At 6 weeks your body is considered "normal" in the fact that everything is back in it's place. Your blood volume, uterus size, diaphragm etc. have all returned to their original size/place. A lot of this happens rather quickly, but as you can see your body is going through a lot of changes. 12-20 pounds usually goes within the first four to six weeks. The 12-20 pounds comes from baby, amniotic fluid, placenta, blood volume, breast tissue, fat storage, swelling & urination and the uterus involution (the uterus returning to it's normal size).
ACOG's most recent guidelines find no problems with resuming exercise quickly, assuming there is no surgical or medical complications. You know your body best, so be mindful of all the changes, including your wrecked sleep schedule.
You can resume exercise once your doctor gives you permission.
Vaginal deliveries – this usually happens at the 4 week postpartum appointment.
C-Section deliveries – this usually happens at the 6 or 8 week postpartum appointment.
Download our Prenatal & Postnatal Starter Pack for all of your exercise guidelines!
Walking is a great activity.
Pelvic floor exercises like kegels can be done in the first few weeks. According to SOGC a mom can reduce the risk of future urinary incontinence by starting Pelvic Floor exercises immediately postpartum. To perform a Kegel: act as though you are stopping the flow of urine, hold for 10 seconds and release. Repeat as often as you like-reach for at least 10 times a day. The pelvic floor is not meant to be "turned on" all day.
Perform the TA breath, to reconnect with your inner core. The TA (transverse abdominis) helped your belly support your baby and it's important you know how to cue this muscle. When you are ready for traditional ab training like crunches, you need to cue the TA muscle. Why? You can do crunches until you are blue in the face, but unless your innermost core muscles are cued, the quest towards a flat stomach is nearly impossible.
Start from a sitting or lying position – a lying position is the easiest way to learn how to cue your inner core muscles. Place one hand below your belly button and one on your chest. Take a deep inhale while letting your belly button and lower rib cage expand. Now as you exhale pull your belly button towards your spine, without letting your hips tilt or letting your posture change. That is action of the deep core muscle – the TA – as you exhale it is working. You might have felt the hand on your chest move, but the goal is to keep that hand still so your diaphragm ( the top of your core) can fully engage.
This is an exercise all in itself. Try 30-40 seconds of the TA Breathe, followed by rest, then repeat. For me, I love to learn by watching a demonstration! Check out this Transverse Abdominis video.
Listen to your body, it carried a baby, it's smart! If you feel pain, nausea or light headed – stop and contact your doctor.
Fuel your body properly, with food and water. Stay well hydrated. If you are breastfeeding the IOM recommends 16 cups of water – keep in mind that 20% of water intake comes from foods and non-caffeinated/non-surgary drinks. If you are breastfeeding you also need extra protein (the same or more as during pregnancy). We have a full recipe box with breastfeeding modifications here.
Fuel your body, listen to your body and perform kegels, as diccussed in week 0-6 above.
See the diastasis recti self –test to check for an abdominal separation. If you think you might have it, confirm with your doctor.
Use the prenatal workout you were doing or start a postnatal program. It is unwise to jump into a routine not catered to gaining 30 pounds in 9 months. If you need a postnatal exercise program, try our Postnatal Slimdown.
Connect with the muscles that supported your baby. Activate the transverse abdominis by doing the TA breath (we discussed this in point 3 above). These are your deep core muscles and knowing how to cue them during exercise will help you get a flat stomach again.
Start incorporating cardiovascular and strength training. This will help you increase your endurance, as well as move your body along in it's quest to find it's former self.
Know that you can get back to your prior self, or even better self. But don't expect to just "bounce back". Think of it this way, you don't train for a running race by not running. So you cannot expect to get your body back by not exercising it.
If you need a blueprint to get your body healthy again, try our Postnatal Slimdown. If you are like me, I like to have a plan. A fully laid out template that I can follow to get from point A to point B. Kinda like the time we desperately signed up for a Parenting class…with 3 kids 3 and under I needed a template for discipline, rewards, and getting the crazy under control. Well Love & Logic gave me that – a template – and my body and mind went ahhhh.
The Postnatal SlimDown is just that, a blueprint to get your body back. Complete with a 12 week program and mix n' match 10 minute workouts for the crazy days.
If you had a C-Section read Exercise after C-Section. Check out the Truth about C-Sections, unfiltered!

Historians traditionally have summarised Britain's road to modernism by highlighting exclusive residences and era-defining commercial buildings constructed from the late 1920s through 1939. While cautious to embrace "the new", Britain arrived eventually only to have its momentum stymied by World War II. This book attempts to correct this oversimplification by offering a social and cultural history of how the architectural profession—a small but important segment of British society—grappled with the cultural changes brought by modernisms in the early 20th century.
Steven's research begins at the beginning of the 20th century in order to uncover the complexities of why it took almost a quarter century for architects and many in society to think seriously about "going modern"—a movement many were made aware of only when new art canvases from Europe reached home shores in 1910. This fractious and combative relationship offers additional insights into why immediately after the Great War the architectural profession and society found difficulty accepting the permanency of modernisms. Prolific discussions continued until the shared embarrassment of the British pavilion at the 1925 Exposition des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris became a catalyst for change.
Steven L. Wright lives in the Yorkshire Dales National Park in North Yorkshire. He earned a BA with High Honours and an MA in history from the University of Cincinnati. After serving five years as a captain/helicopter pilot in the US Army, Steven worked 20 years as a professional historian and archivist in the US. He is currently an independent researcher based in Great Britain. He has presented papers at several international conferences concerning cultural aspects of the coming of the Great War and the post-war era. His articles have appeared in journals including War and Society, Queen City Heritage and the Journal of San Diego History. While art, literature, fashion etc. have been studied and analysed often, he feels collective attitudes toward modern architecture before and immediately after the Great War have been neglected.

Dr Andrea "Andy" McGuire, newly-elected chairman of the Iowa Democratic Party, will be in Jefferson at Homestead Bakery this Friday, Jan. 30, at 7 pm to talk with fellow Democrats about the future of the Democratic party in Iowa and in the nation.
McGuire was elected by the state central committee on Jan. 17. Her visit in Jefferson is the first of many stops around the state. She will be hosted by Ted Herrick of Jefferson, a member of the Democratic state central committee.
"When it comes to moving our party forward, building our infrastructure and strengthening our foundation, I am ready to take on the job to make the Iowa Democratic party the best state party in the nation," said McGuire in a press release last week. "I look forward to working with Iowans in all 99 counties about our key issues of education, equality, and growing the economy for everyone."
McGuire specializes in nuclear medicine and is the president and chief operating officer of a company that focuses on improving access to healthcare for Iowans. She holds both an MD and a master's of business administration. She was a candidate for lieutenant governor in 2006. She is originally from Waterloo and currently resides in Des Moines.
McGuire is particularly eager to get input from Democrats about what the party's priorities should be for the next two years. All Democrats are encouraged to attend, Herrick said.

Exploding Log Files on NAM 4.2
Why you might be reading this
Detailed log files are great for troubleshooting. But if they get too large, you're going to have a bigger problem than what you're using the log files for - troubleshooting. If the log files consume the disk, you're in a world of hurt, along with unnecessarily alarming the infrastructure team and putting yourself in the "I don't know what my software is doing" spotlight...
When setting up a NAM environment, it's typical to increase the log files on both the Identity servers and Access Gateways either permanently or temporarily. Analyzing these logs is really the only way to solve things that go haywire.
On the Identity servers, NAM uses logrotate to roll up and compress the catalina.out file.
On the Access Gateways, logrotate is used to rollup and compress a number of files that may or may not be configured to be written to. The most notable one is the error_log.
Without logrotate functioning as it's supposed to, both of these files will explode over time. And, out of the box, logrotate is not functioning as it's supposed to. I should emphasize that I've only experienced this on RHEL 7.2. This issue may or may not manifest itself on older versions or SUSE.
Somewhere along the line, logrotate got smart and prevented logrotate configuration files from running unless they were owned by root. You can see how this might cause a problem. If logrotate is running as a daemon under the root context, anything can happen. A user, either on purpose or by accident, could "logrotate" a file that they do not own. This could mean deleting a file.
Upon installing NAM, the owner of all logrotate configuration files is novlwww. This is the problem.
The Solution
The simple solution: "chown" the logrotate configuration files to be owned by root.
On the Identity Server:
chown root:root /opt/novell/nam/idp/conf/logrotate.conf
On the Access Gateway:
chown root:root /opt/novell/nam/mag/conf/logrotate.conf
On the Admin Consoles:
chown root:root /opt/novell/nam/adminconsole/conf/logrotate.conf
chown root:root /opt/volera/roma/conf/logrotate.conf
chown root:root /etc/opt/novell/tomcat7/logrotate.d/tomcat7
Additionally, you will also need to "chmod" the tomcat7 file as well:
chmod 644 /etc/opt/novell/tomcat7/logrotate.d/tomcat7

When you pour a beer, you'll notice a head of froth forms at the top. The characteristics of beer froth include color, consistency, head creation, head retention, and lacing. The characteristics depend on two main factors: the conditioning the beer has received, and the cereal grains in the grain bill of the beer's recipe.
The Lovibond (°L) Scale measures the color appearance of beer. The scale is similar to matching beer samples to color swatches. It was the world's first Colorimeter, developed by Joseph Lovibond.
The Standard Reference Method (SRM) Scale and the European Brewery Convention (EBC) Units measure the color density of beer. This is a more scientific method of measurement. A blue light is shot through a beer sample, and the % absorption is measured by a receiver.
The clarity of a beer is mainly determined by the filtering step in the brewing process. Some beer styles are unfiltered and cloudy. Other styles are filtered down to a "brilliant" clarity. Beer clarity can also be affected by a few other steps in the brewing process.
The tastebuds on your tongue can sense six different flavors: sour, salt, sweet, glutamate, fat, and bitter. The common two flavors in beer are sweet and bitter, deriving from the malted grain and boiled hops. Some beers also have a sour element, and sometimes a beer can have a hint of salt.
The olfactory system lining your upper nose and throat can sense thousands different aromas. While many animals can sense both air- and liquid-based aroma molecules, humans can sense only air-based ones. Also known as volatile aroma compounds,
The way beer feels on your tongue and palate is called the mouthfeel. Your mouth can sense the body of beer, which is how it flows over the surface. A light beer will flow similar to water, while a dark and heavy beer will flow more like syrup. Your tongue can also feel the dryness in a beer, as well as the carbonation.
The amount of alcohol present in a beer is measured in a few different ways around the world. Learn about each one in case you come across them someday.

Volatile Eastenders couple Phil Mitchell and Shirley Carter are reportedly set to tie the knot on the same day as the royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Reports suggest that bosses at the BBC Soap have decided to air the upcoming soap wedding on April 29th - the day of the royal wedding. The pair who are played by Steve Mc Fadden and Linda Henry will get engaged on Monday's episode when Phil pops the question after a stay in hospital for a heart attack.
A source told The Mirror: ''The royal wedding is the biggest event of the year and, for soap fans, Phil Mitchell is pretty close to royalty having been a favourite since he arrived in 1990. The show's bosses thought a wedding storyline would be perfect to coincide with William and Kate.''
The lead-up to the wedding however, will be anything but regal. With Phil having had an affair with troublesome Glenda Mitchell, he'll be on edge trying to get her to keep quiet about the illicit affair.
So which wedding do you think will be more glamorous? The royal proceedings or the dramatic wedding between one of soap's most volatile couples? Which will you be most excited about? Get in touch with us!

August Cooler and Wetter; Island Park Reservoir Stays Well Above Average
August turned out to be a little cooler than average, with near-average precipitation, providing a little relief from what has otherwise been a hot, dry summer. Due to careful management and adherence to a 1,000-cfs flow objective in the river at St. Anthony, Island Park Reservoir is 73% full, compared with only 46% full on average at this time of year. This will allow above-average winter flow for the second consecutive year.

It's scaring me how fast this year is going by. It's almost April which means in just over a month I will have completed my final assignments.
I thought I'd forget about university work for today and follow on from my January Round-up with a round up of the past few months. Much like January's post this is just a little collection of what has been going on with my life, the shows I've been watching, the beauty products I've been using, the music I've been listening to and other things like that.
Apart from being a complete whirlwind that's going to fast, my life outside uni has been almost non-existent at the moment. I have been putting a lot of energy into completing the first draft of my dissertation as well as posting regularly on my Writing Blog which is part of the assignment for my other module Writer in the Marketplace.
In February I went back home to London for a few days with my boyfriend's sister to see Hayley Kiyoko, a singer who we both love and who Georgia introduced me to. It was such a great night and Kiyoko is amazing live – she has so much energy on stage and is a great performer.
At the end of February I went to Amsterdam with Jake, my boyfriend, for a little getaway. As you might know, if you've followed me for a while, I love Amsterdam and have now been three times. It's such a beautiful city that sweeps me away every time I go. It was also really nice to properly spend time with Jake as he works away a lot so spending quality time with him in the midst of university stress was much needed.
A few weeks ago I posted my go-to music playlist and since then have added a few songs to it but the playlist is still going strong.
A couple of favourites I have on repeat are: Age Of You by Orchards | On the Luna by Foals | Nerve by DON BROCO | Phoenix by Olivia Holt | Learning to Swim by The Skints | Cassius by Foals | Things I Can't Change by The Story So Far | Anywhere by Anderson .Paak
TV and Film
I went home for a weekend at the beginning of March to spend some time with my family as it was my dad's birthday. Whilst I was there I watched a couple of films. Ocean's 8 came out last year and I have wanted to watch it since I heard about it. It's a heist comedy film staring a lot of famous women (Cate Blanchett, Sandra Bullock, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna) and is an all-female spin off to the Ocean's trilogy. I really enjoyed watching this film – it's glamorous, smart and full of twists. I'd definitely recommend giving it a watch however according to reviews it isn't as smooth as the previous films.
Another film I watched was Blumhouse's Truth or Dare staring PLL's Lucy Hale. Truth or Dare is a supernatural horror film that follows a group of college students who go on spring break to Mexico and play a game of Truth or Dare only to realise that this version has deathly consequences if they don't follow through on their tasks. The film was okay. It's slightly creepy however it isn't really anything new. I did like it's slick presentation however it is highly predictable.
I finally watched Eye in the Sky which has been on my to-watch list since it came out back in 2015. The British Thriller explores the ethical challenges of drone warfare. It's such a clever film which was dedicated to Alan Rickman who feature in the live action film. I was expecting more action if I'm honest but that lack of action didn't make it any less effective, in fact it probably made it better now that I reflect on it. I wanted to watch the film after having a phone call with the production company's co-founder, Ged Doherty. I featured some of our phone call on this blog post so you can read more there but during his time with Raindog Film Co. Ged has only found 5 good scripts, Eye in the Sky being one of those. Knowing this I had to watch it and understand why Ged chose to make it. If you haven't seen it I'd highly recommend it to those who enjoy drama/thriller/war related films.
Over on Netflix, I have been watching 2 TV series – The Order, which I finished within a week of it being released and The Umbrella Academy which I am still watching.
The Order follows college student Jack as he joins The Hermetic Order of the Blue Rose, a secret society that teaches and practices magic. As Jack goes deeper, he uncovers dark family secrets and an underground battle between werewolves and the magical dark arts. It's a great show that pulled me in from the start however I'm not sure what I thought of the ending. Have you watched it? If so let me know what you thought
The Umbrella Academy is another Netflix original superhero series. It's an adaptation of the comic book series under the same name. The plot revolves around a dysfunctional family of adopted sibling superheroes who reunite to solve the mystery of their father's death, and the threat of an impending apocalypse. I am only half way through the series but needed to give it a mention due to the pacing and tone of the show. I think it has been both writing and produced excellently and is successful at creating a contrasting tone.
My beauty routine has been a mixture of new and old products.
Cleansers – In my January round-up I talked about recently purchasing the Pixi Glow Cleanser. I spoke about being unsure of the product and I can now confirm that it has been giving me breakouts so I will no longer be using it. It's a shame as it had so many great reviews and I love the Pixi Glow Tonic but unfortunately this cleanser just doesn't agree with my skin. I have been loving my Sarah Chapman Skinesis Ultimate Cleanse in the evenings. I just cannot fault this product – it smells great and I love taking my time to cleanse in the evening with this stuff so I can just breath it in and relax a little bit. It also feels like it deeply cleanses without stripping your skin as my skin never feels dry after using this stuff. When I went away to Amsterdam I realised I hadn't bought a cleanser with me, so when I was at the airport I stopped by duty free and picked up the Eve Lom Gel Balm Cleanser. As you know I love my gel balm cleansers as they are really easy to use, they aren't messy, and they really clean the skin. This Eve Lom one is no different however I am not a fan of the smell, I'm not sure what it is about it but I just can't get on with it. It probably doesn't help that I compare it to the Sarah Chapman Cleanser and the Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel which both are amazing gel to balm cleansers and they smell good too. The Eve Lom one is also slightly heavier which I feel is not a bad thing, but it's more of an evening cleanser as I felt like you had to put more time into washing it off. I have also finished off the Glossier Milk Jelly Cleanser which I was undecided on for a very long time but in the end really liked it as a morning cleanser.
Toners – With regards to toners I have finished quite a few recently but luckily, because I'm organised to the point of being slightly anal I had back ups ready. I finished my Glossier Solution which I have fallen in love with since buying it on a trip to New York. however I cannot justify getting it shipped over to the UK. This meant I moved onto my old favourite the Pixi Glow Tonic which I also finished a bottle of, but I did have a back up one so the glow tonic is my current toner. Occasionally I have been using the Alpha Liquid Gold but because I am now using a moisturiser daily with AHA's I feel less of a need to use the Liquid Gold as often.
Moisturisers/Serums – I first spoke about the Clinique iD Moisturiser in my January Round-up and since then have been using it every day so I can finally properly tell you guys about it. I love this stuff! I have the blue cartridge which is for uneven texture and pores and have really noticed a different in both those areas. I also have the hydrating jelly as my base for the product. I still love the fact that it is a customisable moisturiser and can appeal to various skin types. My skin loves this – the jelly moisturises my skin without making it oily and the active cartridge suits my main skin concerns. If you were to buy anything I've spoken about in this post I say get this as I think the customisable aspect makes it more appealing to a wider range of skin types. I have also been using Sarah Chapman's Skinesis Overnight Facial occasionally (1-2 times a week).
Hair – Finally for hair I have been using what has been in my routine for a couple of months now so I won't go into too much detail. My hair is in a lot better condition and I think it's down to this constant routine that I do every week. The L'Oreal Low Shampoo for dry, coloured hair is now my shampoo and conditioner. I have been using this for a long time and don't think I would go back to shampoo and conditioner. I have also spoken about this a lot but I can't recommend switching to a low shampoo enough. These cleansing creams have a no foam and no sulphites formula which conditions the hair and gently removes impurities – so it isn't harsh and stripping like a shampoo but my hair still feels squeaky clean after using it. For a hair oil I am back on the Kérastase band wagon using their Kérastase Elixir Ultime oil. I have found that it can be a bit too much if used on dry hair however when I leave my hair to air dry I like to apply about a pump to the middle/ends of my hair and brush it through. I am still loving Kristin Ess as well. I would say every other time I wash my hair I like to use the reconstructive mask pre-wash and leave it on for at least a couple of hours. I just like how easy this mask is and Kristin Ess is a genius.
Thanks for reading!

Written by Gordon Webster, Jr.
Golden State voters are feeling optimistic about the economy, but the cost of living is still a cause for concern, according to a poll by the California Chamber of Commerce.
Nearly two-thirds of voters say more jobs have been created where they live, up from 43 percent in 2015. Voters also said these jobs have lead to higher pay, boosting the middle class.
Optimism for the job market was tempered by three-quarters of voters agreeing that "earning enough income to enjoy a middle class lifestyle is becoming almost impossible in my part of California."
Parents with children living at home were among the most anxious Californians, with 60 percent agreeing that "my children will have a better future if they leave California" for the fourth year in a row.
On the Proposition 13 front, 80 percent of voters had a favorable view of the measure that limits property tax increases. A majority said they would oppose a split-roll tax initiative that could strip protections for commercial property owners.
A majority also seek a resolution to the recent California Supreme Court decision that classifies independent contractors, agreeing that "workers should be allowed to have the choice to be an independent contractor if a worker wants more flexibility to set their own schedules, earn more income, and for their chosen quality of life."

So let's see… Here are some photos and we'll figure out whether Chelyabinsk, this industrial heavy-metal city in the Urals, is so rough and tough as the legend goes. My first impressions – the Soviet airport with other uglier parts being hidden by 'Chelyabinsk welcomes its Judo Championship guests' posters and then this enormous puddle – if you can call this sea a puddle – in front of the exhibition center.
And then I turned right and saw this hm park called Garden of Stones. I later discovered that the garden was moved to the territory of the Local History Museum. But I didn't know it then – and this was what I thought was Garden of Stones:
And when I was crossing the river Miass I felt that whatever that guy was trying to fish out of the waters full of bottles and smelling badly, well, even the most desperate cat would not eat.
You wondering what's that weird tower-like object in the background? Me too! Cause the gates have this M sign which can only make you think of Moscow metro. Still don't know what it is.
And just after this tower thing as I was going to my hotel, I came across this very old building made with such skill that I wanted to take pictures of every detail and told myself to try to find more of this.
The door sign said there was a not that hospitable dog guarding the premises so there was only this wall along the street that you can get access to. Also, when I looked what's behind the corner, I found this tree growing right in the middle of the stone wall:
Each time I go to a new (or the same) place, I try to find there several essential – for me – things like a market, a post office, an ethnographic or local history museum. And of course I'm looking for the market the most =)
Look at the face of the guy who is the owner of this bric-a-brac eeehm kiosk and you will get the idea that I was not welcome in that market with my camera.
Yes, this is a general view of the city (as well as many more cities in Russia these days too) -something old planted right in the middle of something new and ugly. Actually it is vice versa – all these new additions grew around the old things. The church as far as I understood used to house the local history museum during the Soviet times. And now it's just side by side with the Green Market. Obviously everything is painted in green.
There were more curious things in that market which I will not publish here. After the market (where I failed to find the things I usually try in every new place – dairy products and baked goods) I went back to the lovely river and found out this Pink Floyd wall. How pretty I thought but then read the title of the song and understood that 'Goodbye Blue Sky' (misspelled as Godbay) from the Wall album is not there just for fun. They mean it…
I was moving to the city center in my search of more things left from the pre- and early industrial past of the city with merchant houses and wooden houses. But first I passed along this wall skillfully painted with Russian fairy tales and cartoons.
This is the guy who always wins over rich and stupid. He also drives a Russian stove perfectly and a magical pike makes his wishes come true. And here's a super-Soviet-man:
And the stereotypical bear wearing shapka and playing on balalayka. Where's his bottle of vodka I wonder? I yes, he doesn't need it as vodka trickles down from the tap here in Russia.
As I thought I was moving towards the pedestrian street they call ΄local Arbat' (after the famous pedestrian street in the heart of Moscow), I actually came to this place called Aloye pole (Scarlet Field). No idea of the name but it had this:
And also this…
And this – pioner's house. Where your babushka sees you off every other evening for your piano or young naturalist lessons. A huge building with all the Soviet symbols really well preserved. This is how a child was to get used to all things great and grand and better than in that rotten world of the West.
In the middle of the park there's this unknown artifact:
hmmm… Right next to this circle is a church.
You're in the city of ore, mining and metal so do expect everything to be a little bit too black and too metal:
And even Communist heroes (all were boys and girls) are all made of metal:
A veeery sinister looking circle of boys and girls, the pionery. There's one who betrayed his own father because he was not a communist… One of the most famous figures in the USSR history – that's what the children were learning at school, their role model, khm.
And this whole circle of young Communist heroes is crowned or presided by Lenin of course. Although his eehhh grotto looks so very new, I mean, it doesn't even look that old… I wonder if that was one of the later Soviet additions. And guess what he's looking at? The church built in Nicolas II times!
After that I came across the local State Pedagogical Institute. With the tallest Stalinist columns I have ever seem. There's an ATM built-in the wall, a total anachronism.
And after seeing the rain pipe I was sort of puzzled what kind of RAIN they do get here from time to time… Serious rain. Heavy heavy rain.
Some Soviet decorative art in a yard:
The next day I did get to the local Arbat-like street called Kirova Street (ex-Ufa Street), obviously called after the communist Kirov. There I finally got the chance to see what I was looking for – the old buildings and a tiny bit of that old Chelyabinsk, a town that lay on the Silk Road.
The biggest matreshka kiosk you have ever seen against red-brick houses that survived the Soviet era – namely Drug Store (Pharmacy) #1 which has a tiny museum inside. It's a pity this kiosk was closed, I wonder what they sell there.
Some more preserved wooden decorations with an ugly looking club. The street could have been much better if the owners of the shops and clubs could really see what damage they cause with their lack of any taste.
Old school tram near Kirova Street. Very creaking.
Walking across the bridge along the same Kirova street I walk past the Philharmonic hall and then I also spotted this – which is not at all rare in Chelyabinsk and in most of our cities with heavy Soviet heritage.
I bet this is the best shot of all my Chelyabinsk albums. Seriously!
But don't think that these weird Russians can make only ugly things. Look what they decorate their beloved women with!
I finally went to the Local History museum to try to understand the region better. There were several rooms dedicated to the local craftsmanship – precious and semi-precious stones are found in the Urals all over the place!
Remember Chelyabinsk meteorite back in February 2013? Here's a piece of it with the medals issued all over the globe to commemorate the event. I really do not wonder now why it fell in Chelyabinsk of all the cities.
But the most warm and cozy room of the museum attracted much more of my attention – that was a room telling us about the peoples of the region and their traditional houses and clothes.
The sewing machine was made by hand by some local peasant in the beginning of the 2oth century. We had and still have these marvels, these naturally gifted people – samorodok, as we call them in Russia (literally giving birth to itself). The problem is that they mostly remain in shadow.
Kitchen – my favourite spot anywhere! This one recreates a traditional wooden house called izba. Wood just transmits warmth and comfort to you. See the brass samovar and this thing on the left to cut the cabbage and the pottery and of course the traditional white stove with the peel and the hook to get the pots out of the oven.
I guess I've told you before that the traditional Russian pech (stove) was the first thing built in a house (hence the saying 'dance from the stove', begin from the very beginning, ab ovo) and the central piece in all times. People made food there, stored things there, washed themselves in there, gave birth to babies and slept on the upper warm part.
I really liked this women's traditional dress from Ryazan region, which is not in the Urals though but closer to Moscow. If I remember correctly these are from Oryol and some other places in Russia. These were worn in some villages up until mid 20th century, I guess. Love the embroidered blouse!
Chelyabinsk footware industry going from this pair of metal-shod lapti (traditional peasant shoes made from birch tree bark usually)…
…to these Soviet monsters. It's up to you to decide whether the local shoe industry progressed or regressed. The same shoes were worn by many many many Soviet people living in all corners of our huge rodina (mother land) cause the same shoes were made everywhere.
This one goes to my father, an active collector of mugs. Not everyone of us would love to take our morning tea in a mug with LENIN written in gold letters. And I'm sure my father would prefer something less chic.)
Yes, we've moved to the USSR room which – since this time is too recent to evoke only positive nostalgic feelings – is rather like a reminder, hey, it's just yesterday that these were a part of our lives and now what, they are in a museum?!
Like this kitchen which you can still see in very many households all across Russia. I guess some people would just NOT understand why on earth this thing is considered and exhibit.
Or this school things and the girls' uniform (black apron for every day and a white apron plus white lace collar for holidays) – I remember them so vividly, although I never had to wear this dress or this bag…
I don't necessarily recall similar assaults of the vodka shops during the Soviet prohibition times (that was during Perestroyka) but I do remember standing in line to get some food. Lines are the things Russian people VOLUNTARILY and very eagerly start, join and skip and make a hassle about…
Walking back from the museum to my hotel I came across some walls, one of which had this written: 'Smile or I will bite your nose off'. And then there was this green something. God, I love Chelyabinsk! =)
It's definitely a very Soviet city and at the same time there's a lot from the 90s – or rather 'like in the 90s'. It seems to me that some of the most recent stuff in Chelyabinsk look as if it was built during the rough & tough 90s. And some objects did remind me of the early 2000s too 🙂
And guess what? I was really glad to see the cloudy sky above St Pete. Yes, better clouds above your home town than Chelyabinsk =)
So… Do you think rough & tough Chelyabinsk is a myth after all?

Lovely sales team and fantastic after sales service. They don't forget about you after the sale. Would buy from Bank Motors again.
Bought a Vauxhall Antara from Bank Motors, one little complaint, no water in windscreen wash bottle but not a drama. Went to see a Peugeot 5008 but when I saw the Antara my mind was made up, had to wait till the wife and daughter agreed but hey ho I picked it up 5 days later.
I recently purchased a Chevrolet Orlando From Bank Motors and found the process from beginning to end to be easy and fast. I also required support for the vehicle after purchase and received SUPERIOR support and warranty service from All the Staff at Bank Motors.
Would defo recommend Bank Motors, its a family run garage who can not do enough for you from first telephone call to first visit to see car then when bought car the service is second to none Steven and Martin could not do enough for my husband who is disabled and a wee friendly dad who was there on day of collection thanks for everything the dodds family from ardrossan.
Went to view a VW Tiguan at Bank Motors which turned out to be in much poorer condition than advertised. I asked Martin, the salesman whether the car had a full service history and he became very vague. He thought it did, that he'd check in a minute, etc. I then asked if the mileage quoted was guaranteed and to see the service history . He went into a long winded story of how he'd bought the car from a friend, that he'd forgotten to include the car documentation and that he'd pass it along once received. Who the hell would buy a car without documentation? Pointing out the ripple on the rear passenger side and the bumps along the length of the car, I commented that the repair was poor and that the car had obviously been in a glancing side impact. However, it would seem that I'm completely wrong; the ripple is a figment of my imagination and the many bumps along the side are from shopping trolleys. Must be bloody heavy trollies, pushed by maniacal shoppers. The interior was badly worn and soiled for a car with less than 40, 000 miles. This was explained away as being driven by a women with dogs and kids , being not particularly clean. He couldn't get me off the car lot quick enough, when he realised that I didn't believe him and I watched him move the car to up to the back after id accused him of selling a 'clocked' car and left.
I applied online for a very well presented Jaguar the next day Stephen called and informed me the deal was complete.. I could not attend personally and my friend went to see the car. Again Stephen was there and was as helpful to my friend as he was with me on the phone. Excellent service and brilliant communication from Bank Motors.
I have had my car fro a few months now and I am having a fair few issues with it which the dealers haven't been able to resolve so I am returning the car. The communication has been terrible and they have been dishonest about the car. I wouldn't recommend.
MARTIN SHAW from Bank Motors in response to not good
Hi, Sorry to hear you have had issues with your car, we take customer satisfaction very seriously and would be very interested to know which car you purchased and what issues you had as from our records we have not had any cars returned. If you could contact us directly at firstname.lastname@example.com we will try and understand and help with these issues.
May 2017. The Picasso I bought a year ago from Bank Motors continues as one of my best buys - ever! Most impressed with Stephen who did exactly as I asked on the phone as I was buying on the internet from Wales. Something which as a 73 year old I had never done before. He got me a two year warranty on a 9 year. Old car but as of today Not one problem -in fact better than I have had with new company cars!! Very courteous and polite and friendly-I can't. Fault them-so thank you father and son Stephen.
I have just got a Hyundai from Bank Motors. From start to finish there was no pressure, no hard talking, you are the customer who is fully serviced. If you look at the forecourt all cars are well presented, I have dealt with many dealers and this was a first class service. I would highly recommended.
I felt that all of the staff at Bank Motors really bent over backwards to ensure that the whole process was fast, easy and efficient. I bought a Mini Cooper from them back in September and I couldn't be happier with it! It was clean and in beautiful condition and it was a brilliant price. I have had no issues with ti at all and I will definitely be back there for my next car.

Bread Recipes
In addition to pizza, one of my absolute favorite things to make at home is bread! Some of the recipes that you'll find here include authentic NY bagels, sandwich bread, babka, and sourdough bread like Tartine bread.
Or maybe try the Harvest bread , which is an easy bread to make if you are just beginning to bake but still oh-so-good! It's really hard to choose, there are so many good ones. There is nothing like homemade bread!

Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 5 days on 9 July 2076 at 10:49.
Moon rises in the afternoon and sets after midnight to early morning. It is visible to the southeast in early evening and it is up for most of the night.
Moon is leaving the last ∠4° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♑ Capricorn later.
Lunar disc appears visually 2.5% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1936" and ∠1888".
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2076 after 1 day on 16 July 2076 at 10:12.
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
The Moon is 12 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 946 of Meeus index or 1899 from Brown series.
Length of current 946 lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 1 minute. It is 37 minutes shorter than next lunation 947 length.
Length of current synodic month is 2 hours and 17 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 hours and 46 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠145.4°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠170.2°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
9 days after point of apogee on 4 July 2076 at 16:02 in ♌ Leo. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 2 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 17 July 2076 at 05:58 in ♒ Aquarius.
Moon is 370 337 km (230 117 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 2 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 358 186 km (222 566 mi).
Moon is in descending node in ♐ Sagittarius at 12:03 on this date, it crosses the ecliptic from North to South. Moon will follow the southern part of its orbit for the next 12 days to meet ascending node on 27 July 2076 at 08:20 in ♊ Gemini.
14 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
13 days after previous North standstill on 1 July 2076 at 09:39 in ♋ Cancer, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠24.319°. Next day the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-24.329° in the next southern standstill on 15 July 2076 at 12:55 in ♑ Capricorn.
After 1 day on 16 July 2076 at 10:12 in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.

A FAST-GROWING powder coatings company which counts some of the region's biggest firms among its clients is planning for further expansion.
GT Coatings, based in Newton Aycliffe, has invested heavily in cutting-edge machinery to help improve efficiency and productivity and ensure it is a leader within the coatings industry.
It says continuous investment in the latest coatings technology has enabled it to provide quality surface finishes to meet the demands of the automotive and offshore industries whilst maintaining the aesthetic quality required from industries such as retail.
Now the company, which is owned by Nick Turnbull following its separation from the GT Group in 2016, is embarking on a drive to strengthen its regional client portfolio by attracting more larger orders it is in a stronger position to fulfil.
Chris Anderson, general manager at GT Coatings, said: "Over the last five years we have committed around £115,000 in new machinery and further recent investment means we can take on higher volume orders for new and existing clients.
"This is something we're really keen to push– we know there are other powder coatings companies in the region but very few who are set up to operate on as large a scale as we are, which we know is important to bigger manufacturers and producers who want more established and professional suppliers to call on."
GT Coatings employs around 25 people at its Aycliffe Business Park factory and has a £1.2m turnover.
It was originally part of the family-owned GT Group, which has facilities across the region, however when the group was acquired by a German firm three years ago, GT Coatings separated and is now under the ownership of founder Geoff Turnbull's son Nick, with the day-to-day management overseen by Mr Anderson.
Its current client base includes established brands across sectors including automotive, oil and gas, construction and manufacturing.
Mr Anderson added: "As we look to establish ourselves within the higher volume, bulk order end of the powder coatings market, we will continue invest in new machinery and talented personnel who we think are the right fit for the business to help us achieve our ambitions.
"This includes attracting young talent and the recruitment of apprentices is something we're actively looking into.
"We are also exhibiting at EMCON, through the Incubator Zone, in a couple of weeks which we see as the ideal platform to showcase our business and really push our strengths and capabilities to a widespread audience of potential customers for the business."

During our first year of operation we have been focusing mainly on creating a range of exquisite handmade pendants containing the "Connective Element"
We have done very little marketing and yet sales have exceeded even our best expectations and a lot of customers have contacted us to provide their feedback.
At the Jesus Boat Legacy we take all feedback seriously so during the coming months you will see quite a number of changes as we aim to make our second year even better than the first.
In the next week or so we will be giving our customers the option of adding a quality necklace to their order.
New Pendants
Our artists have designed a number of new pendants in response to suggestions from customers. We will be adding these pendants to the site in the next month.
Offline Locations
A number of retailers have approached us in order to be able to sell our products in their shops. Selected Jesus Boat Legacy items will soon be available in 5 new real world locations which we will add to our store locator.

The Sacroiliac (SI) Joint is positioned in the lower part of the body between the Sacrum, (the big, triangle-shaped bone at the base of your spine,) and the ilium, (the large broad bone forming the upper part of each half of the pelvis.)
This low-motion joint connects the hip bones to each side of the sacrum where the base of the spine meets the pelvis, and acts as a shock absorber between the lower body and torso.
As with any other joint in the body, the SI Joint may become injured or degenerated over time, leading to symptoms of SI Joint dysfunction, inflammation and pain such as:
