As I look through different things I've written over the last several years, I have noticed a phrase that appears over and over.
"He is faithful"
God is faithful. He has been with me through every unknown, every change of plan, through joy and tears.
He has been faithful as I have navigated international moves. Visa processes. New jobs. He has been with me through language learning. Tired days. Stacks of dishes and laundry. He has provided finances. Housing. Friendships.
He has been faithful in the past. I have no reason to doubt him as I move into the future.
Yet, I still get scared.
Over the last year, I have figured out just how many synonyms there are for the word fear. Uneasy, on edge, and nervous are very different from terrified or paralyzed. There are probably 100 words that fall in that spectrum somewhere. I have felt them all.
There have been the mornings where the bravest thing I could do was leave my house. Or look people in the eye. Or smile at the people around me.
There were days where I thought the fear was going to consume me. Days where I thought it would be impossible for me to ever feel normal again. In those days, He was and continues to be faithful.
I am still living with many unknowns. There are still days where I battle against my fear. I've decided I can live with a little fear, because my fear is what pushes me to trust His faithfulness even more. In a few months from now, I will be able to look back again and see the same words that I have written so many times.
He is faithful.

The 3D fighting mechanics are well done and much improved over the previous versions
Fantastic visuals
Character Customization is better than ever
Multiplayer is fantastic
Single player game modes are lacking
Story Mode is short and boring
No character endings in Arcade Mode
"Chosen by history, a man becomes a warrior. Engraved into history, a warrior becomes a hero."
Seventeen years have past since the last duel for the fabled soul swords between mere mortals along with some guests from a galaxy far, far away. Now they return again with the fire to wield their sword of choice. Destiny will be foretold. Legends will be made. The epic tale of souls and swords continues once again and the soul still burns in SoulCalibur V on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
SoulCalibur V, the sixth title in Namco's "Soul Series" follows the tale of Patroklos, son of Sophitia, who's on a quest to save his sister Pyrrah. Of course he's also on a quest for the mystical blade Soul Calibur. I wonder which quest is more important to him? Honestly, the story is not going to matter that much to you, because it's not the driving reason to purchase this game. You'll want it for the amazing 3D weapon based fighting action, or maybe it's because you wanted to stare at Ivy's amazing rack. Either way it's a win/win situation.
Being a fan of the Soul series since Soul Edge in the arcades, I was always amazed by the 3D weapon based fighting action. Sure the characters didn't bleed out like some other games I've played including Bushido Blade and Deadliest Warrior, but the Soul series games had it's own unique charm that immediately drew me in. Bad ass weapons, critical edge attacks, terrible English voiceovers, creating your own characters, and even the popular ring outs that drove everyone crazy in the arcades and in tournaments. The Soul series stood out from all the other fighters that clogged he market and that was a good thing. Ok, enough fanboy remarks. Let's get back to the review.
So what's so special about this game compared to the others in the series? Well for one thing there's almost a complete overhaul in the cast. At least half the characters that have been mainstays in the series are gone and replaced by some fresh blood. Some are pretty original while others are more of a new face yet same weapon style of previous characters. The new faces really change things up and keep the series entertaining, but there are times where I'd rather have more of the fighters I'm used to using. Fans are already complaining about the lack of favorites, but I'm ok with the changes.
Guest characters are also back as well, but this time don't expect any lightsabers and force powers. Ezio Auditore, from the hit Assassin's Creed series, makes an appearance in SoulCalibur V and let me tell you that he really fits in with this cast rather than Spawn, Heihachi, Darth Vader, The Apprentice, and the "broken" Yoda. I'm really impressed with Ezio's moves as well as incorporating his weapons like the crossbow and hidden blades to make it authentic. Controlling Ezio is like painting a work of art. He's so fluid in his movements and keeps a good pace on the action unlike the slow Vader or overpowered Apprentice.
There's also been a big change on the fighting department via the use of super moves ala Street Fighter. Branded as Brave and Critical Edge, these super moves help turn the tide of the fight and they look pretty cool as well. These super moves are based around a meter by your character's life gauge. As the meter builds up you could then choose to use a Brave Edge consuming a half level of the meter, or use the Critical Edge and consume one full level of the meter. No more pain in the ass Critical Edges like what we had in SoulCalibur IV. While I do like the use of these moves there's a part of me who feels that this has already been done in other fighting games. Was this really necessary? Not really, but they're still fun to use when your in a pinch and your opponent is spamming you with the same two or three moves using Kilik.
Creating characters is also back this time around and this means it's time to use your imagination to come up with some stylish, sexy and even wacky off the wall characters, or just make some new outfits for the existing fighters. Once again you can expect quite a bit of time being spent here. There's so many items to equip along with colors and patterns to work with. The possibilities are endless, so you can expect some message boards as well as YouTube videos filled with created fighters. I'm sure you can expect some pop culture favorites like Kratos, Shredder, Ryu Hayabusa, Dante, Altair, some Mortal Kombat characters, superheroes, and a host of others (I've seen some already). While creating popular favorites are cool, I wish more gamers would just go outside the box and get crazy. That's what I'm doing.
Now everything in this game is not as great as you want it to be. I do have a few gripes. One would be he fact that there is a severe lack of gameplay modes for single player. Some of you might think I'm crazy talking about single player, but think about it. SoulCalibur always had quite a few single player modes like Mission Mode or even the Tower of Lost Souls. Here your given Quick Fight, Arcade and Story Mode (starring only one character). Don't get me started on Legendary Souls, because that mode is a real pain in the ass to complete. Also, there are no character endings whatsoever. Now that's just plain lazy. Every fighting game including previous SoulCalibur games had endings for every fighter even if you never really cared about the storyline.
While the single player may not be to everyone's liking the multiplayer will have you wanting to play for quite awhile. Lobbies have been set to talk to other players as well as challenge one another. Tournament options have also been added for expert players to showcase their talents. I will say that he online portion of SoulCalibur V is brilliant. It runs great with no lag issues plus you'll find plenty of trash talking noobs to destroy.
So what else can I really say about SoulCalibur V? Sure the Story Mode is not very good, but then again when we all played Mortal Kombat the idea of what a story mode should be got us all spoiled on that notion. Yes, it's missing a lot of single player options which sucks, but maybe it's time to take your talents (or lack thereof) online for some real action. Maybe the characters are a bit unbalanced (like Nightmare), bit give it a couple of updates and everything will be ok. SoulCalibur V may not be the best game in the series, but it's far from the worst so don't give in to all the negativity as of late. The fighting action is still top notch, the game is still fun, and it's got Ezio Auditore. If your a fan then this is a buy. For everyone else might I suggest a rental or wait for a price drop.

Opera, musicals and concerts
Season 2019/2020
Where emotions flourish
Not so long ago, I visited an opera house (I don't remember which). There was a huge banner above the entrance with this message: "Revel in the misery of others: visit the opera!" As with any good joke, it contained that grain of truth: Opera and musical theatre explore what it means to be human. Naked, vulnerable and extremely fragile. Where words aren't enough and meaning can only be relayed through music.
Think about someone you love. Now imagine losing that person. You're darkest fears have suddenly come true. And so the plot begins! Now transform those feelings into sound ... a song. This, is opera! After all, who's interested in a story about carefree, frivolous love with a happily ever after? We might dream it, even long for it ourselves. In opera though, we'd be bored to tears!
Human beings seem to have a need to imagine the pain and suffering of others...curious to understand jealousies and complicated love relationships. It has nothing to do with gloating though or revelling in the misery of others. Not at all! Rather the opposite. This is all about compassion. We cry. We laugh. Right there, in sync with the main characters. Imagination and empathy are two unique qualities of being human. And, at the theatre or opera, we can allow those emotions to flourish. It's a place where we can really give them a thorough workout! A place where stories come alive through music. Where every human emotion fills the air, captured in an aria, the trill of a flute, the timbre of a cello or a tympani drumroll. Hope. Passion. Fear. Love. Want to give your imagination a REAL workout? All you need to do is spend an evening at the opera!
And, opera is for everyone! At the opera, we're all just simply human beings. Each and every one of us. Often, we hear that our society is becoming increasingly polarised. Each person, in their own bubble, floating in the same space with other bubbles of the same size and colour. There are few places where everyone is welcome and everyone belongs. Opera is one such place. Something magical happens when every seat is filled and you're a part of it! People, of all ages, shape and size. With different backgrounds, political views, hopes and expectations. Joining together to experience a grand opera or musical. There's so much joy in that! Laughing together at the lunacy of the Marriage of Figaro. Crying, over Mimì's tragic death in La Bohème.
Richard Wagner envisioned a form of expression uniting all the arts: poetry, art, music and theatre. His ultimate vision was to synthesize all forms of artistic expression into what he called "total artwork". And he worked feverishly to achieve it. I think, perhaps, that Wagner's biggest challenge might have simply been reigning in his own ego. Nevertheless, that's exactly what we're striving to achieve at the Göteborg Opera. The union of all art in one art form. Or as Wagner put it, Gesamtkunstwerk. Fundamental to this concept is a blurring of the boundaries. In fact, erasing them altogether! Obliterating the boundaries between professionals and amateurs, performers and their audience. Coming together, as one.
Last year, the Göteborg Opera and Swedish Red Cross International Choir collaborated to bring myths and legends to life in the opera, Rheingold. This year's summer project for youth is to create a new opera based on the "lovers of heroes" in The Valkyries. On any given week, more than 100 children and youth sing with the Göteborg Opera, primarily in our children's and youth choruses. Last season, they participated in several of our performances. And this year will be no different. We're particularly excited to show off their talents in the musical, Oliver!
Our new season is packed with incredible stories about the human condition and our plight. You'll laugh. And you will certainly also cry. So join us, to revel in the misery of it all!
Stephen Langridge
Artistic Director for Opera/Drama
The 2019/2020 season has been planned by Stephen Langridge, Artistic Director through June 2019.

Tinkerware Technologies Stack
Tinkerware Technologies Stack
Here we describe technologies we've been using and how we use them. Why?
To let people know how we do things.
Basically all of our open source code is availabe at GitHub,
and we work to keep everything as open as it gets.
Here are described more Tinkerware principles we like to follow such as transparency.
We want to keep things well structured when it comes to Frontend. That way the UX
gets easier to implement and the functionality is easy to grow as well. It's a
very robust Framework if used correctly.
Cool, huh? It is. The architectural characterstics that elixir brings to the game
are just what we need to ensure we make things robust and trust worthy thanks to
it's ease of use when programming, since its path leads to metaprogramming improving
its resilence. Also, it comes with Mix wich makes projects managment easier.
Yup. Cool as well. We need concurrence power with the services we provide and
GoLang is the perfect option for this. Also it makes things easier when we need
to make something portable.
We created a Microservices/RPC/Client-server architecture that we use to handle
all the tasks our services does.
That's how we automate most of the tools we provide to be able to configure
and manage servers at please. You'll be able to find these roles on our
GitHub page. (Link at the beginning of the post)
That's how we are currently virtualizing our Development environment.
To be sure to be working under the same characteristics as our QA/Prod
environments and Integrate changes smoothly. We will implement containers
soon for some special functionality we would like to add. Docker maybe?
Our CI/CD robot. We decided to use it because we like to work with Python.
We tried Jenkins before as well and we only use it now for a prototype we
built in the past.
Server Providers
Mostly we use Digital Ocean and AmazonAWS. Why? Depending on the task they are
quite flexible for us, and of course, as any company, we pay attention to the
prices as well.
To be honest, we use our own service! That's how it's supposed to work, isn't it?
And.. we want to keep things as simple as we can...

First let me say thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm somewhat new to the whole "blog scene" so please be patient with me. I wanted to start this blog because I need a place to vent...so why not blog?
As you can see by the title of my blog page I am indeed an LVAD caregiver. For those of you reading that don't know what an LVAD is... Left Ventricular Assist Device. It's a mechanical pump-type device that gets surgically implanted to one's left ventricle on their heart. It's battery operated and it basically pumps blood out to the body. It's often used as a bridge to a heart transplant.
I'm not a nurse, doctor, or anything remotely connected to the medical world. I'm a mother of twin boys and a wife who has been madly in love with her husband (Kevin) for more than 14 years. The term LVAD wasn't even a part of my vocabulary until last October when my life changed in the blink of an eye.

Conversation Topic: Ask for a helping hand
iStock/Minerva Studio
"Helping questions are great conversation starters because when a person helps you it forms natural bonds. When you help another person to figure what an item is on the buffet or locate the restroom, it lowers your defenses. For example, if you're at the grocery store, ask 'Do you know how to tell if this fruit is ripe?' It makes you look open to learning more and will help the conversation flow naturally." —Dawn Maslar, MS, author of Men Chase, Women Choose: The Neuroscience of Meeting, Dating, Losing Your Mind, and Finding True Love. These magic phrases can save any awkward conversation.
Conversation Topic: Compliment something other than someone's looks
iStock/eckert photo
"Instead of complimenting something generic like their eyes, highlight something that shows their personality, like their purse or a book. This is simple, elegant, and great if you are interested in someone or anytime you want to boost their likability toward you for business or social reasons." —Paul DePompo, PsyD, ABPP, psychologist. Check out these tips for giving sincere compliments.

Salisbury to Bring Bachelor's Degree in Community Health to USMH in Fall 2019
A program from Salisbury University's new College of Health and Human Services (CHHS) is expanding across Maryland.
Starting this fall, students will be able to earn a bachelor's degree in community health from Salisbury at USMH.
"There is a growing demand for this program, offered by our School of Health Sciences," said De. Kelly Fiala, CHHS transitional dean. "We are excited to add to the degrees we already offer at USMH. SU is committed to providing quality education throughout the state."
"USMH is looking forward to expanding its partnership with Salisbury University in bringing the Community Health Program to Hagerstown," said Mark Halsey, USMH Executive Director. "Salisbury faculty and staff have embraced the local community through its social work program that has been offered here since 2007. We believe that the community health program will have an equally positive impact on our area while providing an additional educational path for local students."
SU's community health program prepares students to be health educators, promoting wellness for individuals, communities and populations. It is aligned with the National Commission for Health Education credentialing, training students to become certified health education specialists.
"Our students want to help achieve better health for all," said Dr. Brandye Nobiling, program chair. "Our students get hands-on opportunities, such as semester-long internships and global seminars, and learn alongside experienced and caring faculty. After completing our program, they are well-prepared for careers in health and wellness, and graduate school in public health."
The program accommodates non-traditional students with online and evening courses.
For more information about the community health program, contact Nobiling at 410-677-0062 or firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit the program website at www.salisbury.edu/communityhealth.

Introduction: Steampunk Outdoor Lamp Special Edition
This is a special edition of an steampunk outdoor lamp.
It is made of mahaghoni wood copper and a tricky electronic-cfl light. With one pair of batteries you can use the lamp for about 20 hours.
Look to the following contruction steps and have fun outside using it ;-)))
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Basic Parts: the Cfl Light
Take an old CFL-bulb as you see in the picture. Cut the electronic part away and take only the glass tube and the plastic bulb.
Step 2: Basic Parts: the Copper Ring
With a drilling machine you can cut such small pieces from a woodden plate. Drill another hole in the disk an cut a small stripe from this hole to the outer side of the disk. Put a small stripe of a copper ribbon around the wodden disk and put t both ends inside the second hole. You can fix them with another piece of wood. At least you solder them together. Next sign the holes you want to drill for the brass srews and for cutting the inner circle to put the plastic bulb later in.
Step 3: The Electronical Equipment
Inside the box there ist the well known electronic from a disposable Camera modified in that way as you can see it in my first project: "High-voltage-ignited-plasma-bulb". You just have to fix the ring from the step before at the top of the box and connect the electronic to the glass tube contacts.
Look at this bright shining light:

You do realize that CFLs have mercury in them, right?
he didn't break it, though.
This is a veri nice way to re-use those beautiful light bulbs, thanks for sharing!
Hi andrea
You´re welcome ;-)))
Aeon Junophor
Very nice, very cool looking. Are you driving the flash circuit with 3 volts? Or are the bats in parallel?
Hi Prirate labs
I drive this circuit with 3 Volts. Because of the 3 Volts (normally this circuit is designed for 1,5 Volts as you surely know) heating up the transistor a little bit I use a piece of small copper pipe as a cooler. You also can read more details about using flash units from disposal camerasi n my instructable here ;-)))
Aeon Junophor
Clever idea for the copper lined base!
love it

A Stein variational Newton method
Part of: Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems 31 (NIPS 2018)[PDF] [BibTeX] [Supplemental] [Reviews]
Conference Event Type: Poster
Stein variational gradient descent (SVGD) was recently proposed as a general purpose nonparametric variational inference algorithm: it minimizes the Kullback–Leibler divergence between the target distribution and its approximation by implementing a form of functional gradient descent on a reproducing kernel Hilbert space [Liu & Wang, NIPS 2016]. In this paper, we accelerate and generalize the SVGD algorithm by including second-order information, thereby approximating a Newton-like iteration in function space. We also show how second-order information can lead to more effective choices of kernel. We observe significant computational gains over the original SVGD algorithm in multiple test cases.

Many companies and firms hire a business analyst for this scenario because it's their duty to make a proper analysis. They need to cope up with the business changes, rise, and fall and also for financial management. Many of the businesses analysts do need to attempt the courses like Hyperion Financial Management Training. Because business analysts should have knowledge about some of the crucial factors which influence their work. These factors are as below:
Dealing with Data
A person of finance needs to deal with the data. It's their duty to enter the data and have to organise it, in the finest way. Financial Managers have to calculate the data accordingly because this is what really matters. The finance department is the crucial department of any organisation, therefore they should deal it with care.
Analyse the data
Financial Managers and business analyst have to deal with data in detail. It's their responsible to read the data and make a result on behalf of this data. They have to rearrange the data in the smart view so, that others can come to know about this. This is also an important factor of finance.
Businesses analysts not just read and recognise the data in a perfect form but also they have to make the reports on behalf of this data. They have to make the reports so that their seniors can read them. Those reports are considered as the result oriented platforms because companies make a decision by looking at those reports. So, to prepare such reports a person should be experts in this regard.
Soft Skills
There are also some other important soft skills which are crucial for business analysts to learn for their work. This skills should be learned as a must concern.
So, these are some of the factors which business analysts and financial managers have to deal with. They learn these skills by their study or sometimes by the short courses which offer these skills in a shorter span of time.

The project will also contribute to defining the business and regulatory guidelines for the development of vertical farming in the country.
The smart home farm is an initiative to be developed in Masdar City's Eco-Villa, conceived as a template for affordable and highly energy- and water-efficient residential villas in the UAE.
The Smart Home Farm initiative will help showcase emerging sustainable home and urban farming technologies and solutions from local and international suppliers.
The agreement was signed at the Masdar headquarters in Masdar City, Abu Dhabi by Mariam bint Mohammed Saeed Hareb Almheiri, Minister of State for Future Food Security, and Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi, CEO, Masdar.
Almheiri said: "This strategic partnership is the cornerstone of achieving future food security objectives – an important step in activating plans to meet the challenges of this vital cause and invest in its opportunities. Masdar was a natural partner, given its significant experience in developing both short-term strategic plans and long-term approaches to natural resource conservation and sustainable development.

She added: "Future food security is a key focus of the UAE government, a reflection of the leadership's far-sighted vision, which sets the well-being, prosperity and food availability of its citizens and residents at the top of its agenda."
Al Ramahi said: "We are very grateful for this opportunity to work in partnership with the UAE Office for Future Food Security to unlock the potential of clean technology to address our present and future agriculture needs.
"Masdar City in Abu Dhabi is already a highly successful test bed for research into sustainable food production and today, as the city's community of residents, office workers and visitors continues to grow, we are exploring further opportunities to combine sustainable farming with low-carbon urban development, including vertical farming methods and home farming technologies integrated within our Eco-Villa concept."tech news from the UAE and Gulf countries, follow us on Twitter and Linkedin, like us on Facebook and subscribe to our YouTube page, which is updated daily.

He'eia State Park and the Fish Pond
I spent Saturday morning volunteering at the fish pond at He'eia. This time we parked up at the State Park. Lots of chickens and cats hanging around. This cat in particular looked pretty relaxed (and had that look that says "what are you looking at bozo"). Got to cut down a bunch of mangrove trees again. This really is a great way to calm my racing mind - physically demanding (cutting roots with hand cutters) and mentally challenging (because to have to pick the spots to cut or you can strain some muscles). These koa canoes were being worked on up at the top of the bluff - really gorgeous wood work. If you want some satisfaction, go find a community service project that could use some help and that will challenge you and go volunteer your time. And maybe you can get so looks of annoyance from some chillin' cats!

Trim batt and lining even with the top. It is really important that the corners of your quilt be square at 90 degree angles. Cut binding strips 2 1/2" wide on lengthwise or crosswise grain of fabric. Place end of two strips perpendicular to each other forming an 'L', right sides together.
For example, if you want a finished binding that's 1/2 inch wide, cut strips that are 2. Place one raw edge of the binding strips along the raw edge of the quilt top .

To Get The Job Done
How to Keep unwanted weeds Out of Your Oasis Garden This SummerNothing is more frustrating than working hard to keep your garden and yard looking perfect, only to get overrun by weeds. Whacking and pulling unwanted weeds by hand is work that is backbreaking and can take several hours to complete. What's worse, just when you believe that you've dealt with the problem, the unwanted weeds grow back. These pests are tenacious and resistant by nature, so in spite of your best efforts, they often find a way to sprout up again and again. There are other methods you can try to clear invading your yard, but not every form of weed control is created equal. Here are some tips on picking the treatments your lawn or garden:
Spray Weeds AwayFor weed issues that aren't too severe, you should be able to find a weed killer that is a helpful product wherever you typically buy your landscaping supplies. The most well-known synthetic chemical weed killers come in the form of aerosols. It's important that you consult a store associate before picking a weed kill product. Some products can be harmful to other plants, native animal life, or pets so you will want to be careful not to introduce these products into your yard.
Hire a Professional in OasisIf you're dealing with a substantial weed problem in your yard, you might consider hiring a professional weed control service. A reputable weed control company in Oasis has access to a number of broad leaf weed control solutions and other products that you will not find at your local hardware store. After hiring a professional, you may want to discuss creating a fertilization schedule for your lawn as well. A lawn that is flourishing better able to protect itself from intrusive plants. Dandelions and other weeds simply aren't able to finish with grass that has thicker, healthier roots.
Soil SterilizationSoil sterilization is an intriguing method of cleansing soil of unwanted weeds, fungus and insects. The process includes heating the soil to a very high temperature, essentially killing off any seeds, insect eggs, and other undesirable elements. This method is practiced in large-scale farming by the utilization of UV rays, or in some situations, a slash and burn technique. However, you can practice soil sterilization at home on a much smaller level. Potting soil can be heated in an microwave or oven prior to being used for planting. This will ensure that any pests present in the soil, including weed seeds, will be neutralized giving your plants the best possible chance to thrive.
Weed Prevention is the Best MedicineLast but not least, you can help prevent unwanted weeds from growing up by incorporating ground cover in strategic areas of your garden. Before you start planting in a area that is new consider adding a layer of landscaping fabric underneath your topsoil. Cut a hole in the fabric for each plant that allows them room that is ample to grow. Garden fabric will prevent weed seeds hiding in your soil from germinating. Other options for ground cover include wood and mulch chips. When laid generously around plants and shrubs, they help prevent weeds from growing with the added benefit of adding some interest to your garden's aesthetic.
Weed Control
Weed control is the application of EPA-approved chemicals to kill existing weeds and to prevent new weed growth.

The Evolution of Bridal Makeup and Hair
Posted on July 14 2018
Every bride is different with their own style and personality. There are the natural makeup lovers, the full-on glam brides and some brides that request an alternative bridal looks. There are no rules when it comes to your big day, but throughout history, trends have come and gone.
In the last ten years, the biggest bridal trend has been that radiant, dewy, natural finish. Brides want to look effortlessly glowing. They want it subtle without it appearing they're wearing makeup.
In this article, we'll talk you through the history of bridal makeup and look at how the different makeup trends have evolved over the past 100 years.
The 1910s and 1920s
The 1910's saw the introduction of makeup essentials such as mascara, powder and lipstick. Fashion was moving from the more functional clothing worn during WWI to more opulent looks and many brides started to include a little of these new makeup products into their look. It wasn't until the 1920's, brides began to experiment and the 'flapper' girl look blossomed. Brides tended to have classy pin-up curls with a pale complexion, red lips and pencil thin eyebrows. The more daring brides finished the look with a smokey eye.
The 1930s
In the 1930's, the thin eyebrow was still a go-to with some woman completely shaving their eyebrows off and drawing them in with a thin pencil. The smokey, kohl eyeshadow look went out and shimmers became more popular. Brides still loved to wear a dark red or a dark pink lip for that pop of colour. The complexion was still pale with pink and white being the main underlying tones.
The 1940s
With World War Two dominating the 1940's, a woman had less time to focus on their appearance and those who were married tended to opt for a more practical hair and makeup look. The drawn-on thin eyebrows were on their way out with the more natural brow coming back into fashion. The red lip, however, was still a well-loved feature.
The 1950s
The 1950's saw the introduction of the quiff and the beauty spot. Many Brides opted for a more voluminous hair look rather than the previous flat pin curls. The complexion of the brides tended to have a more fuller coverage than it previously had. Red lips were still very popular although some brides started to experiment with more pastel colours like peaches and pinks.
The 1960s
In 1960 there was a dramatic change in the use of makeup and the looks people were creating. Brides started to experiment more with shapes and colours. The more bronzed look started to come into trend and eyes were kept minimal with a pop of colour featured elsewhere on the face.
The 1970s
By 1970, the bronzed dewy look was well established. There was less focus on the hair with most brides opting for more soft and natural hairstyles. The makeup was more focused on that glow radiance with many brides also starting to wear false lashes.
The 1980s
In the 1980's the glowy looked died down a little and colour came back into the mix. Brides were becoming more and more glamorous with many wearing fuchsia/raspberry lip colours.
The 1990s
In the 1990's the more muted makeup came in to play with many brides wanting a very natural makeup look. By this time brides were experimenting a lot with their hair: wearing their hair very loose or completely down.
The 2000s and 2010s
The beginning of the 21st century saw the use of a lot of fake tanners and unnatural makeup, however, when it comes to their wedding day many brides want to look naturally glowing. The recent Royal Wedding featuring Meghan Markle's extremely natural makeup look sparks the likelihood that the next trend of bridal makeup will be more natural than ever before.

Members of the Lomonosov Moscow State University have conducted a comparative analysis of various cranial series in terms of nonmetric cranial traits frequencies in order to evaluate genetic succession between the Scythians from the northern Black Sea region and Bronze Age populations from Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
Alla Movsesyan, a leading researcher at the Anthropology Department of the Lomonosov Moscow State University and one of the article authors tells: "Nowadays there are two main hypotheses of the origin of the Scythians. According to the first one they came to the northern Black Sea region from Central Asia as invaders and local Indo-European population was assimilated by them. And as follows from the second hypothesis, the Scythians were genetically linked to the local population of the Srubnaya culture-historical society (the Timber-grave culture) – the ethno-cultural consociation of tribes in the Late Bronze Age (16th-12th centuries BC), inhabited steppe and forest-steppe belts between the Dnieper and Ural Mountains."
We should clarify that a cranial series means a group of skulls from one or several closely-spaced burials, belonging to one ethnic group or one archeological culture, and discrete-varying, nonmetric traits reflect minor anatomical variants of the human skull. They include various additional or irregular holes, irregular skull sutures and processes, small bones in fonticuli and skull sutures. These traits are supposed to have genetic nature and could characterize the gene pool of a population.
Alla Movsesyan explains: "Unlike the ancient DNA studies on skeletal material, which is still quite a complicated and expensive process, using nonmetric cranial traits allows to carry out a population genetic analysis of unrestrictedly large quantity of cranial series, and this is very valuable for the studies of genetic links between ancient populations. This technique is quite widely-spread in foreign anthropology".
The idea that the Scythians were predecessors of the Slavs is one of the stable myths in spite of the fact that scientists have proved long before that there was almost no succession between these two tribes. Alla Movsesyan specifies: "According to B.A. Rybakov's hypothesis, stated in his book "Herodotus' Scythia", a part of the Scythian tribes, so called Scythians-Ploughmen, probably took some part in the Slavs ethnogenesis due to the longstanding geographic proximity. However, the idea that the Scythians are direct predecessors of the Slavs is not supported by any archeological, anthropological, genetic or linguistic data."

World Organisation for Animal Health
Home > For the media > Press releases
World Veterinary Day was instigated by the World Veterinary Association (WVA) in 2000 to be celebrated annually on the last Saturday of April. In 2008 the WVA and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) agreed on the creation of the World Veterinary Day Award aimed at rewarding the most successful celebration of the contribution of the veterinary profession to society. The competition is open to all WVA veterinary associations, alone, or in cooperation with any other selected veterinary body.
The winner of the 2014 World Veterinary Day Award will be invited to the OIE 82nd General Session of the World Assembly of National Delegates to be held in Paris, France on 25 May 2014 where he/she will receive the WVD 2014 Award and a price of 1000 US$.
In the last decades, there is a global increase of societal interest and concern on how animals are used and treated.
The societal expectation from the veterinary profession regarding Animal Welfare now expands well beyond simply individual veterinary daily practices.
The veterinary profession has a unique position between man and animal to deliver animal welfare services to the benefit of all animals and society.
The theme of Animal Welfare was chosen to highlight the role of veterinarians in Animal Welfare in line with OIE standards and the great contribution of the veterinary profession to animals and society around the globe.
All fields in the application form (attached to this document) shall be properly filled out and emailed at firstname.lastname@example.com no later than 7th May 2014 (applications received after the deadline will be automatically rejected).
The winner will be notified by e-mail and informed as to the logistical aspects of the award ceremony.
Important notice
WVA believes that bringing together people and domestic animals enhances the human-animal relationship and facilitates animal welfare education of people including children. WVA emphasizes that such events shall be done with maximum attention to the basic requirements of animal welfare (proving the animals with sufficient water, food, space and avoiding as much as possible stress of the animals) and biosecurity measures (avoiding spread of diseases).

Special Correspondent
CHENNAI: PMK leader S. Ramadoss on Sunday urged the State government to explain whether the managements of the self-financing engineering colleges had agreed to surrender 65 per cent of the seats for the government quota as announced by Justice Balasubramanian Committee.
Recalling the Higher Education Department Secretary K. Ganesan's statement that the government was still holding talks with the managements to get 65 per cent seats, Dr Ramadoss in a release said that Mr. Ganesan's statement had created confusion among students who had already applied for engineering seats.
"Is there any truth in the announcement of Justice Balasubramanian Committee that the managements had agreed to surrender 65 per cent seats," he asked.

Pool maintenance can be overwhelming to a homeowner, especially if they have never owned a pool before. There are many moving parts involved in keeping a swimming pool optimal for use and keeping track of them can be difficult, but it does not have to be. Here are a few tips to help simplify and organize the different parts of pool maintenance.
- Keeping It Clean: Cleaning a pool seems like an obvious part of cleaning but can often be the most ignored. Cleaning a pool means brushing the walls, skimming the surface, and using a vacuum. These tasks require physical labor, which is why some people ignore them, but they are essential to keeping a pool clean. A pool can hardly be considered safe to swim in if it us full of leaves and the walls are covered in dirt and algae. A pool vacuum can help, but some things must be done by hand.
- Circulating Water: An important aspect to keeping the water clean is to keep it moving and filtered. Running a pool pump at all times is preferred, but it should still run 10 hours a day at a minimum. This process pumps the waters, filters it, and pushes it back into the pool. This helps get solvents and contaminants out of the pool which helps prevent the water from getting gross.
- Chemical Balance: A properly maintained pool should have a pH between 7.2 and 7.6. Anything lower can be dangerous to swimmers, because no one wants to swim in acidic water. Anything higher can also be irritating to swimmers for a similar reason. Regardless, a pool should have the right balance of chemicals to make sure it is safe for people to swim in.
In the end, there are only a few things to keep track of when owning a pool. Of course, there are nuances and complications between each of these steps, but as long as your keep your pool clean, balanced, and circulating then you should have a wonderful experience owning a pool.
