According to reports late last year, Google is working on a new operating system called Andromeda. Much about it is still unknown, but according to the documentations Google has provided on its website, it's clear that the Fuchsia is the actual name of the operating system, and the kernel is called Magenta. A tech enthusiast dug around the documentations to share the followings: To my naive eyes, rather than saying Chrome OS is being merged into Android, it looks more like Android and Chrome OS are both being merged into Fuchsia. It's worth noting that these operating systems had previously already begun to merge together to an extent, such as when the Android team worked with the Chrome OS team in order to bring Update Engine to Nougat, which introduced A/B updates to the platform. Google is unsurprisingly bringing up Andromeda on a number of platforms, including the humble Intel

|Applies to Product:
|USM Appliance™
|AlienVault OSSIM®
As part of submitting a request for a new AlienVault USM Appliance plugin, you also need to include a log sample or database dump that includes all the relevant events and data patterns you want the plugin to be able to process and analyze for events. Before sending the sample file as part of your request, you may also want to examine the sample file, remove any extraneous entries of data patterns you don't need to capture, while ensuring the sample file contains as many of the data patterns you do want the plugin to process.
Creating Sample Files for Asset Log-based Plugins
Besides a direct examination and cleanup of log files generated by an asset, AlienVault also recommends a process in which you forward the asset's syslog files directly to the USM Appliance Sensor. Then, over the span of a few days, try to invoke as many event types as possible, so that relevant data will be captured as syslog entries in the /var/log/alienvault/devices/<IPaddress> folder saved on the USM Appliance Sensor.
Note: Plugin syslog files for each asset are saved on the USM Appliance Sensor in individual /var/log/alienvault/devices/<IPaddress> folders, one folder per asset IP address.
Following this data collection period, you can pull this log file from the sensor and deliver it along with your plugin request, so the AlienVault Plugin Team will have a good sampling of data patterns with which to develop the new plugin.
Creating Sample Log Files for Windows-Based Applications
Creating a plugin sample log file for Windows applications that only logs events to the Windows Event Viewer requires a different approach. In this case, one effective way to create a useful sample log file, to submit with a new plugin request, is to deploy an AlienVault HIDS Agent on the relevant Windows host. You can then configure the agent's ossec.conf file to capture the appropriate events from the Windows host.
Note: For details on deploying a HIDS Agent, see Deploy AlienVault HIDS Agents. For details on configuring the HIDS Agent for event logging, see Tutorial: Reading a Log File with a HIDS Agent on Windows.
To configure the logging of events by the HIDS agent, you can perform Tasks 1 and 2 of the tutorial on reading log files with a HIDS agent. Task 1 specifies the source location of data generated by the Windows application. Task 2 in the tutorial sets the scope of events logged to LOGALL (based on the scope of events defined in the ossec.conf configuration file).
After allowing some time for the HIDS agent to collect log entries, you can check the /var/ossec/archives/archives.log file on USM Appliance for the specific events from the Windows application. To create the sample log file to submit with your plugin request, you can use commands such as cat and grep (Task 3) to trim down the archives.log file to contain only log lines for the specific events you want a new plugin to catch.
Note: As an alternate method to using the HIDS agent to collect log entries for Windows-based hosts and applications, you can also use the NXLog plugin, provided with USM Appliance. Using this method, you can update the nxlog.conf file to define the Windows event data you want to collect for a specific device. You can then submit, with your new plugin request, the log file data collected by the NXLog plugin (located in the /var/log/alienvault/devices/<IPaddress> folder on the USM Appliance Sensor. For more information, see Microsoft Windows Event Logs through NXLog.
Creating Sample Data for Events Stored in a Database
Creating a plugin for events stored in a database generally requires two things. First you must define the query needed to extract information you want to view in events, mapping database information to the standardized USM Appliance event fields. (You may also want to provide some sort of mapping of the database schema with the definition of columns in tables that you want to include in captured event data.) Second, you will need to provide some sort of export or dump of a subset of the data stored in the database to test the plugin.
Note: The methods of exporting data or creating data dumps and database queries will vary based on the specific database engine used, for example, Oracle or SQL Server. Consult your vendor's documentation for specific information on performing the tasks mentioned.

4 Fun Facts about Electric Vehicles
Just when you thought they killed the electric car, these hearty vehicles are making a resurgence. Want to brush up on your talking points to impress your neighbor who talks nonstop about the comeback of the electric vehicle (EV)? Just curious to hear what the hype is about?
In honor of National Drive Electric Week (Sept. 8-16) we are excited to take a closer look at EVs and the equipment that supplies them with power, called electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) or EV chargers. EVs get their power from electricity instead of burning fuel like gasoline or diesel. EVs are already cleaner than their fossil fuel equivalents, but as our electricity supply gets cleaner, EVs will become even better than fuel-powered cars for the air we breathe, as well as helping us lessen the impacts of climate change.
Cambridge has a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) by 80% by 2050, and encouraging people to switch away from gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles is an important strategy to help us get there. Not having reliable access to EVSEs makes people less likely to switch to EVs, so Cambridge has been busy installing charging stations all over the city.
Here are 4 fun facts about electric cars and charging equipment that even your EV-obsessed neighbor might not know:
1. EVs can handle your everyday transportation needs. A study by two Columbia University PhD students found that 99% of trips are under 70 miles, and most EVs have a 100 plus mile range. This means that the fear of running out of power in the middle of a trip is unfounded—you should be able to get to work, pick up your kids from school, run your errands, and still have miles to spare!
Pro Tip: There are numerous guides that can help you select which (modern) EV is right for you. This handy guide from the Sierra Club directs you to a fun quiz that can help you pick your dream EV.
2. EVs are super efficient. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, gasoline-powered vehicles convert only 19% of energy from gasoline into power at the wheels while EVs convert about 60% of electrical energy in the on board battery into power at the wheels. That means electric vehicles are over 3x more efficient than your average car! This efficiency leads to extra money in your pocket. A 2018 University of Michigan study found that electric vehicles cost less than half as much to operate as gasoline-powered cars.
Pro Tip: Because they are efficient and provide other environmental and health benefits, there are multitude of incentives to go electric. One such incentive program is Drive Green with Mass Energy, a limited-time EV discount program that helps you save at participating dealerships.
3. There are 3 different types of charging equipment. Level 1 is the slowest, but perhaps the easiest to access because it's really just a special plug adapter that can plug into a standard wall outlet to charge. Level 2 provides a slightly faster charge, using the same type of connection used for a clothes dryer, but requires that charging equipment be installed by an electrician. Level 3 is very fast but also very expensive. It isn't common for home charging, but is becoming more common in major transportation corridors, like highway rest stations and commercial parking lots.
Pro Tip: The City owns 4 stations at 4 locations (with 7 total charging heads), which are extra helpful for those without driveways and garages but who want to go electric! The City also has plans and funds to expand the EVSE network that is publicly available in City-owned parking lots. By the end of 2019 we will have double the number of City-owned stations. You can find information about charging stations all across the U.S. (including Cambridge) on ChargePoint.com.4. EVs are the environmentally-friendly vehicle choice. According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, gasoline-powered cars emit 2x as much greenhouse gas emissions as their electric counterparts. This means that we can be climate heroes by switching to and championing EVs.
Pro Tip: Excited about reducing your carbon emissions but worried about going 100% electric? You can take a smaller step on the way there by purchasing a plug-in hybrid vehicle. This type of vehicle can switch from electric to gas-power when the electrical charge is running low.
If you feel EVs are out of reach for your income, or you just want to ditch the car altogether (an awesome goal!) Cambridge also has some electric bus options. The MBTA runs 4 trackless trolley (i.e., electric-powered) bus lines that depart from Harvard Station.
To find out more about what Cambridge is doing to reduce GHG emissions, promote widespread adoption of EVs, and address other sustainability issues, visit our Sustainability Dashboard.
The City is seeking feedback on bus service challenges and ideas for improvements from more of the residents, workers and visitors in the Cambridge community, including you!Full Article

Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. 7Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. 8I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. 9I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. 10I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 11Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. 12And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; 13And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. 14His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. 16And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. 17And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. In addition, he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 18I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Revelation 1:4-18 (AMP) 4John to the seven assemblies (churches) that are in Asia: May grace (God's unmerited favor) be granted to you and spiritual peace (the peace of Christ's kingdom) from Him Who is and Who was and Who is to come, and from the seven Spirits [the sevenfold Holy Spirit] before His throne, 5And from Jesus Christ the faithful and trustworthy Witness, the Firstborn of the dead [first to be brought back to life] and the Prince (Ruler) of the kings of the earth. To Him Who ever loves us and has once [for all] loosed and freed us from our sins by His own blood, 6And formed us into a kingdom (a royal race), priests to His God and Father--to Him be the glory and the power and the majesty and the dominion throughout the ages and forever and ever. Amen (so be it). 7Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth shall gaze upon Him and beat their breasts and mourn and lament over Him. Even so [must it be]. Amen (so be it). 8I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, says the Lord God, He Who is and Who was and Who is to come, the Almighty (the Ruler of all). 9I, John, your brother and companion (sharer and participator) with you in the tribulation and kingdom and patient endurance [which are] in Jesus Christ, was on the isle called Patmos, [banished] on account of [my witnessing to] the Word of God and the testimony (the proof, the evidence) for Jesus Christ. 10I was in the Spirit [rapt in His power] on the Lord's Day, and I heard behind me a great voice like the calling of a war trumpet, 11Saying, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last. Write promptly what you see (your vision) in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia--to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea. 12Then I turned to see [whose was] the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lamp stands, 13And in the midst of the lamp stands [One] like a Son of Man, clothed with a robe which reached to His feet and with a girdle of gold about His breast. 14His head and His hair were white like white wool, [as white] as snow, and His eyes [flashed] like a flame of fire. 15His feet glowed like burnished (bright) bronze as it is refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters. 16In His right hand He held seven stars, and from His mouth there came forth a sharp two-edged sword, and His face was like the sun shining in full power at midday. 17When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as if dead. But He laid His right hand on me and said, Do not be afraid! I am the First and the Last, 18And the Ever-living One [I am living in the eternity of the eternities]. I died, but see, I am alive forevermore; and I possess the keys of death and Hades (the realm of the dead).

13 Natural Ways to Cope With Labor Pain and Avoid the Epidural
Looking for natural ways to manage your pain during labor? In search of the best tips and tricks to avoid an epidural?
The pain during childbirth can be excruciating, especially as your contractions start to get stronger and longer. But, it is totally possible to minimize your pain with natural methods and avoid an epidural. Even if you have do be induced due to medical reasons.
By going natural, you'll provide so many benefits for both you and your baby. You'll be able to move freely and work with your body to birth your baby. You'll decrease your risk for a cesarean and other interventions, be more likely to have a shorter, easier labor, and have a quicker recovery time. Plus, you'll be so empowered just by being present and being able to feel all your birth sensations.
In this post, we'll cover 13 natural pain management techniques to use during labor, talk about the most intense part of labor, and even give you a peak into how I managed my epi-free births.
**Just so you know, this page contains affiliate links. And, as an affiliate and Amazon associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. See the full disclosure here.
13 Natural Ways to Cope with Labor Pain and Avoid an Epidural
Listed below are 13 natural pain management techniques to help you avoid an epidural and have the natural birth you've been hoping for. You can use these in combination or use different ones at various points throughout your labor.
You may find that some work well for you, while other's you just can't tolerate. You won't know what works until you're actually in labor, but don't be afraid to speak up and let your doula, nurse, or birth partner know if something isn't working.
Just do what ever relaxes you and makes you more comfortable. It's your birthing day after all!
1. Change Positions
The best piece of advice I can give you is to change positions and change positions often. This will help encourage baby to move down, shorten your labor time, and help relieve pain and pressure.
During early and active labor, you can try:
- Walking the halls
- Slow dancing with your partner
- Doing some squats or lunges
- Bouncing on a birthing ball
- Sitting backwards on the toilet
When things start to pick up, it's important to keep changing positions to maintain progression and manage your pain. Ironically, transition can be the most difficult time during labor to change positions.
But, by being brave, you might be able to find a more comfortable position and even speed up your labor. Positions you can try during transition include:
- Hands and knees
- Side-lying with a peanut ball
- On your knees with your upper body leaning forward
- Standing and leaning onto your partner, the bed, or the wall
- Sitting on the bed or a birthing ball
- Squatting
2. Aromatherapy
Essential oils are a great way to help reduce pain, nausea, and fatigue during labor. In fact, recent research has proven that lavender oil is an effective tool in reducing the severity of labor pains.
I wouldn't recommend using a diffuser or applying topically though. You want your baby to be able smell your scent to encourage breastfeeding, and you'll want the air to be clear for their developing lungs.
Instead, stick with personal inhalers, and use as needed. Lavender and frankincense are both great options for pain, as well as for keeping you calm. Citrus and mint oils can give you a boost of energy, and ginger, citrus, and mint oils can help reduce nausea and vomiting.

3. Massage
Now, you won't know if you'll want to be touched or not until you're in labor, but massage can be an excellent pain management tool if you are able to tolerate touch.
Massage can help you relax, release tension, and help you breathe better. It releases endorphins, which are feel-good hormones and natural pain-killers (source). You may want to have your doula, midwife, or birth partner try massaging your lower back, hips, shoulders and neck, hands, or even your feet.
While I was in transition, the amount of pressure on my tailbone caused me so much pain and agony. But, my doula came to the rescue and had my husband massage and apply counter pressure to the outside of my tailbone. This was a huge relief for me! Total lifesaver technique really.
4. Breathing Techniques
Patterned breathing can bring relief from any pain, discomfort, anxiety, or fear you may be feeling throughout labor.
Try your best to breathe through your contractions and "breathe your baby down." Keep your breathing slow, deep, and rhythmic, and try to relax between contractions.
By concentrating on your breathing, you'll be interrupting pain signals to your brain and giving it something positive to focus on. And, much like massage, breathing techniques release natural pain-relieving hormones, called endorphins (source).
If you let the pain and fear get to you, and you start holding your breath and hyperventilating, you'll be reducing your baby's oxygen supply. You do not want this. Keep your breathing slow, deep, and consistent for less pain, more oxygen, and enhanced relaxation.
5. Distraction
Distraction can be an excellent tool during early and active labor to help keep your mind off the contractions. Labor can also just be quite long sometimes, and you'll need something to help pass the time.
Try playing your favorite music, playing a card game, or just having a conversation. You could even write a beautiful letter to your baby on the way. My hubby was an excellent distraction, as he told lots and lots of jokes. Quite the comic, that one. 🙂
6. Focus
While distraction is a great pain management tool for the early parts of labor, it can often make you irritable or upset during transition and pushing. When things start to get intense, you'll need a calm birthing space so you can focus.
Try shutting the curtains, dimming the lights, and playing soft, soothing music. My doula even brought some flameless candles to help create a more harmonous birthing space for me in the hospital.
And, don't be afraid to speak up. If you want your birthing room quiet with no guests, don't hesitate to make it known. If you don't want to be touched, say so. Your doula, husband, and nurse are there to help YOU, so let them know what's working and what's not. This is YOUR BIRTHING DAY mama!
7. Rebozo
One of the most common ways to use a rebozo during labor is to sway the birthing mom's hips from side-to side. You'll have the shawl wrapped around your hips while you're standing, lying down, or on your hands and knees, and your doula or birthing partner will support and control the motions of the rebozo (source).
You can also use a rebozo for support during squatting, so you can save your energy for the latter parts of labor. Tie a knot in one end of the rebozo, and throw the knotted end over the top of a door. Close the door tightly, and then hold on to the rebozo while you're squatting. This will help open up your pelvis and encourage baby to move down into the birth canal.
A rebozo is an excellent pain relief tool to have packed in your bag for your birthing day.
Rebozos have traditionally been used in the Mexican birthing culture, but are becoming more and more popular in other parts of the world. A rebozo is basically a woven shawl that can be helpful before, during and after birth.
8. Soak in the Tub
Soaking in the tub can be a great way to ease your pain during labor and can be used whether or not you're planning a water birth. The warm water can help relieve tension and allow you to relax, which ultimately can help speed things up.
If you're not planning a water birth, you may find comfort taking a soak in the tub, or you may want to take advantage of gravity and enjoy the water pressure from a nice, hot shower.
However, be aware that a soak in the tub, especially during early labor, can actually slow down contractions for some moms-to-be. Your contractions may even stop altogether if your body isn't quite ready for labor.
9. Self-Hyponosis
Self-hypnosis can help remove the fear, anxiety, and tension that's connected with your pain during labor. This natural pain relief option can help prevent your stress responses from kicking in and help you remain calm and focused, with minimal pain signals reaching your brain.
Hypnobabies and Hypnobirthing courses teach expecting moms specific hypnosis techniques that can greatly minimize their labor discomforts. These are both great classes to take if you're preparing to have a natural childbirth.
Continue reading below.
10. Heat or Cold Packs
Most hospitals and birthing centers have heat and cold packs offered as a natural pain management tool (if they don't, you can always just wet a rag in the sink). Warm compresses can help you relax and can feel soothing on your lower back, pubic bone, or neck. They can also just help to warm you up if you're experiencing the chills during labor.
A cold compress can be helpful if you're having acute back pain, as the numbing effect can help decrease the sensation and awareness of the pain. The cold can also help boost your energy and reduce nausea.
11. Low-Key Vocalizations
Vocalizations can extremely helpful and empowering. They can help channelize your energy, set your focus, and help you cope with contractions.
However, the key is to make sure they are LOW KEY vocalizations. High-pitched vocalizations, like screaming, can make you feel out of control and frightened and can tense your entire body up, preventing labor to progress.
Lower-toned groans, grunts, moans, and chants are very common sounds for laboring women to make and are great for relieving pain and progressing your labor. Allow yourself to let go and make whichever low-key noise(s) comes naturally to you.
12. Don't Fight It
Try to have realistic expectations going into labor, and try not to fight what's natural. Accept your labor and accept that labor hurts.
When you get scared and try and fight the pain, your body tenses up, and you can actually prolong your labor. By surrendering your body to this natural process, your body will open up, and your birth will be powerful. Remain confident, keep your muscles loose, and embrace your birthing sensations.
13. Encouragement
Reminders and encouragement can go a long way for an unmedicated birth. Meaningful words can help you feel inspired, brave, and focused. The words you hear can also play a huge difference in how you'll remember your labor and birth experience.
Hang some birth affirmations to help you maintain a positive attitude and reduce fear. Hire a doula for constructive and optimistic guidance. And, be sure to only invite friends and family to the hospital or birthing center that will be encouraging and supportive of you.
You could even write up a little cheat sheet for your hubby to remind him to say things, like "you're doing a great job," "you've got this," "you're a warrior," or even just "I love you."
Pro-Tip: Be Aware of Transition
Transition is the most intense stage of labor and is a major sign that your baby will be here soon. Ironically, this is when most women cave and ask for an epidural. Then, they end up having their baby not too long after.
Be aware of transition, and try to remind yourself that this intense pain is for a purpose. Each wave of pain brings you closer and closer to your sweet baby.
Signs you might be in transition include:
- Contractions are long, strong, and close together (it might feel like you're not getting a break)
- Nausea/vomiting
- Trembling uncontrollably
- Feeling very warm and sweaty
- Feeling cold and shaky
- Strong pressure in your perineum and/or lower back
- Intense pressure in your rectum (with or without the urge to push)
- Difficulty finding a comfortable position
- Afraid to change positions
- Getting discouraged or looking for a "way out"
- Asking for pain medication
My Experiences with Epi-Free Births
My first birth: My first birth was short, fast, and intense. I ended up being induced early for gestational hypertension at 36 weeks. I had cervical ripening the night before and the OB broke my water the next morning.
Things got serious QUICK. Contractions were long, strong, and close together from the get-go. It felt like I wasn't getting any breaks. I found relief sitting on the toilet and being leaned over on my hands and knees. Heat packs on my groin also helped relieve some of my pain.
My first birth ended up going so fast, it was all just basically a blur. I remember vomiting quite a bit, asking for ice chips, hiding in the bathroom, and plotting an escape to go home and "only have corgis" (true story).
I didn't have a doula, I had just gotten transferred to the OBs from the midwives, and my nurse wasn't very hands on. I did start to feel defeated towards the end, and I did honestly end up asking for pain medicine, but the nurse made sure to remind me that an epidural isn't what I wanted. And shortly after that, (3.5 hours start to finish), my sweet baby girl was born.
I honestly think I wouldn't have made it if my birth wasn't so short that first time though. Having a supportive birth team is SO important for having a natural, unmedicated birth.
My second birth: Unfortunately, I had to be induced for gestational hypertension again with my second baby. But this time, I made it to 39 weeks, I had an awesome midwife group, an excellent doula, and a more experienced nurse and husband.
I didn't have to have cervical ripening, as I was already dilated to a 5 at check-in. Instead, I was started on the lowest dose of pitocin, which was gradually increased over the course of my birth. Labor was much slower than my first, but still only took about 11 hours total.
During early and active labor, I found comfort walking the halls, doing lunges, bouncing on the birthing ball, and listening to my favorite songs. I also quite enjoyed talking with my doula and joking with my hubby. I did have to take frequent rests lying down for my blood pressure though.
As things started to get more intense, I found a lot of relief side-lying on the bed with a peanut ball between my legs. As things picked up even more, I winded up taking a soak in the jetted tub with the lights dimmed down. I remember getting shaky and having a metallic taste in my mouth in the tub and shortly after I got quite nauseous. Transition was happening.
I got back out to the bed, and baby was getting closer and closer to coming. Which, meant more pain for me. There was so much pressure against my rectum, and I was so sweaty and hot! I found relief being on my hands-and knees, and leaning forward. My doula, nurse, and midwife were all so encouraging.
My doula helped remind me of my birth affirmations, my nurse kept telling me what a great job I was doing, and my midwife told me how strong I was. And, I felt encouraged knowing my husband was right there by my side.
After 15 minutes of pushing, baby boy was here! Another epidural-free birth in the books.
Even though I had to be induced due to medical reasons for both of my births, I am beyond thrilled that I was still able to have two epidural-free births. They were so empowering!
Embrace Your Birth Sensations
Natural childbirth is painful, but empowering. And, luckily there are several tools we can use to help manage our pain without an epidural.
Changing positions, focusing on your breathing, diffusing some oils, or taking a soak in the tub can help you feel more comfortable as your labor progresses. You could even have your birth partner help you relax with a nice massage or by swifting your hips with a rebozo. Encouraging words can also go a long way in reducing your fears and maintaining your focus on a natural birth.
By minimizing your pain with natural methods, you'll start to feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable, and your labor will actually be more likely to progress quicker.
Remember to accept labor, and embrace your birth sensations. YOU CAN DO IT MAMA! I believe in you!

I've had 3 medication free births. The first one I had terrible back pain. Labor was fast and hard and I basically woke up at midnight in transition. She wasn't positioned well and then she got stuck right before coming out. Fortunately my midwife realized what had happened and as the nurses were getting ready to prep for an emergency c-section my midwife made me stand up and prop one leg up on a chair. I have no idea how she even managed to get me up. My daughter promptly slid out in the next contraction.
For my 2nd baby I was obsessed with chiropractic care so baby would be positioned better. Worked like a charm. This labor was slow and easy. Again I woke up in labor in the middle of the night but I just moved to the couch. My husband was working night shift so I stayed at my parents. When my dad got up to leave for work he wanted me to go to the hospital but I sent him to work and told my husband to go home and rest. He came around 4pm to try to get me to go to the hospital but I was still rocking the contractions. At 5 I threw up and finally went to the hospital. I walked in of my own accord and scared the nurses who went into hyper drive and had me little peanut at 6:15.
My 3rd I had at home with a midwife. Went into labor about 4pm but it was slow and easy so I ate at my parents then went home to put my first 2 to sleep. Hubby was at school and didn't get home until 11 so I went to sleep. Woke up at 2 and started having good contractions. Lots of chiropractic, so slow and easy but I added hypnobirthing so I didn't realize how fast I was progressing. I was trying to not call my midwife because I wanted her to sleep if she was going to be with me all of the next day. At 5 my husband called her without my permission and she got there at 6. Baby was born at 6:30. Which left just enough time for me to shower and nurse him before my older kids woke up and met their brother.

I have three brothers, one older and two younger. We were all in boy scouts growing up. We all made it to the end reaching the rank of eagle, following in our father's footsteps. And to my father's great disappointment I remember how to tie just a handful of knots, knowing the name of just one of them. But there are other things I learned from boy scouts. For one, I'll never forget the boy scout motto: "Be Prepared".
It is so simple and yet so powerful. You need to be ready for any number of situations. In scouting this could be making sure you have a first-aid kit, or packing enough water for a hike. If you don't plan ahead and you aren't prepared then you are stacking the odds against you. Life gets in the way. There are any number of unpredictable events that transpire throughout your day that cause you to have to waiver from your original plans. Being prepared means you are better able to adjust and adapt to these obstacles. This is one reason why I try to encourage people who say they don't have time to workout to do it early in the morning. Nothing can get in the way at 5 am. No meetings, no phone calls, no sudden changes to schedules. You can get your training done and feel great to attack the rest of your day before most people get out of bed.
"Failing to prepare is preparing to fail". This quote has been attributed to a bunch of different famous people. I don't care who said it, I just know I agree with it. I'm a huge proponent of planning out your training and nutrition. If you don't take the time to make a plan then ultimately you're setting yourself up to fall short. It starts with a meal plan. Sit down and think about what you have going on the next week. Do you want to prepare lunches to take with you to work? Do you have early meetings this week? Are you working late a couple nights? With this information you then can make your menu. If you know you work late or early and could prepare something in advance to take with you then plan for it. Have your meals mapped out and then create a grocery list off of that plan.
Same goes for working out. Find out what times work for you that week and schedule your training. If something comes up that throws off your training plan, have a backup. You usually work out at lunch on Friday but you know there is a client you have to take out to lunch this Friday, plan to get your training in before or after work. Or maybe get a special Saturday workout in to supplement the missed Friday. Just have a thought out plan. It doesn't have to be perfect and you won't necessarily be able to stick with it 100%. But thinking about it, planning for it, will set you up to be more successful and consistent.
I totally understand that going from no planning to all the planning can be a huge undertaking starting out. Just like everything else in life we can make small changes to start building to our goal. Maybe this first week just schedule out 3 dinners and 3 lunches. Make a goal you think is reasonable and then execute it. In two or three weeks when it's becoming easy, challenge yourself to do more. That is how to build life long habits that will enable you to reach your goals.
Remember, it is okay to fail. Life has a way of inhibiting our best intentions. That's fine. But preparing and planning will help you to be adaptable. To be more able to adjust to the daily demands of your busy life. That will help you build the lean life you desire. That will give you power to make the changes you want. Don't fail to plan, PLAN TO SUCCEED.

The Nazi's logic seems airtight. In the Bible, the Ark tends to make the armies that carry it invincible. Sure those armies tended to be made up mostly of Jews, God's chosen people and the Nazi's chosen extinction target, but the God of the Old Testament wasn't one to get bent out of shape over a minor technicality. Of course, as we find out in the climactic scene, Indy knows a secret about the Ark the Nazis don't: It has a habit of melting faces right the hell off their skull.
What Would Have Made More Sense:
The most sensible response for the Army to this whole Ark business is coincidentally the easiest: Do absolutely nothing.
The Fuhrer's army, lacking Indy's superior archaeology skills, misunderstood the location of the Ark to begin with. Without Indy's meddling, the Nazis would have blown millions of dollars from their 1936 budget digging in the wrong place.
But lets say the Army doesn't know the Nazis are geographically challenged. All the more reason not to do shit. Instead of stealing and re-stealing the Ark from the Nazis, Indiana Jones and the U.S. Army should have been rooting for them to find it. Their best case scenario is that the Nazis mission goes exactly according to plan: find it, ship it off to Germany and open it in a lavish pageant in Berlin with the whole Nazi high command in attendance. That was what they had planned to do all along. All the top Nazis in Berlin, including Hitler, front and center at the grand opening of a device that has a reputation for melting the faces of anyone in its vicinity.
"OK, now open it!"

Caring Makes Wimpy Kids (& Other Parenting Myths)
There are a lot of parenting myths out there. The dictionary defines a myth as "a commonly believed but false idea." And that's the problem – because these parenting myths are commonly believed, people think they must be true.
Now, I'm a big believer in the wisdom of the generations. I think there's a lot we can learn from our elders – those who've been through parenting already and have come out the other side. But in my 8 years as a mum, there is also a lot of advice that I have found to be a complete load of rubbish.
Some have gradually gone out of fashion (e.g. "Children should be seen but not heard"), but there are plenty of parenting myths that are still making the rounds.
Have a look and see if you've come across any of these…
7 parenting myths that are still being shared today
The aim of parenting is to produce well-behaved kids
No. The aim of parenting is to produce kind, successful humans who can live a fulfilling life! I would much rather my children be happy and well-adjusted than blindly obedient.
Children can be well-behaved but still hide some deeply destructive thought patterns. The focus needs to shift from outside behaviour to internal motivation – the best thing we can do for our kids is give them the tools to maintain good mental health.
Being a stay at home mum will make your child clingy
I had this parenting myth levelled at me a lot because I chose to stay at home with my little ones. They told me my kids would find the transition to school really hard because they had been at home with me for so long.
Actually, children who have a strong bond with their caregiver are more adventurous and outgoing. They feel safe in the knowledge that they are loved and their needs will be taken care of, so they are then free to explore the world.
Laughing when a child falls over will teach resilience and stop them being a wimp
I understand the logic behind this parenting myth – sometimes children make more of a fuss about their fall if they know we're looking. But laughing IS NOT the answer! How would these adults feel if someone laughed at them when they fell over?? It teaches kids that they can't show when they're hurting, and they're on their own when it comes to difficult situations.
Instead, just asking where they're hurt and giving it a quick rub reassures the child and satisfies their trust in you to "fix" it. If they know they have your attention when they need it, they won't need to make a fuss to get it – no "wimpy" behaviour in sight!
Smacking is a valid form of punishment when done in a controlled, restrained way
I was smacked as a child. My parents weren't malicious or mean about it – it was just the go-to punishment.
But I will not smack my own children.
I never want my children to be afraid of me. There are so many discipline options now that achieve the same (or BETTER) results in a non-violent, non-intimidating way. Smacking is frightening and hurtful, and it has no place in a loving relationship.
Give kids options and they'll walk all over you
There's this idea that parenting shouldn't be a discussion – it should be a dictatorship. We're told we need to be firm with kids and they should obey what we say because we're mum and dad.
But dictatorships cause conflict and resentment. Instead, involving kids in their upbringing means they'll work with you and life lessons are learnt through harmony instead of clashes.
A child who tantrums is naughty
I'm sure you've heard of the "terrible twos" or the "threenager" stage, because there's this parenting myth that kids who tantrum are defiant, unruly and bad. But actually, tantrums are what happen when children don't know how to deal with their feelings – they're not choosing to be disobedient.
We need to calmly help our children understand how they're feeling. Sitting quietly close by with open arms, waiting for them to be ready to talk it out will have a much better result in the long term.
Parents should hide their sadness and heartache from their children
I worry a lot that if my children see me unhappy, they will be worried. And I know that when I'm really upset, I find it harder to filter what I think and say.
But I have come to understand that my children need to see me when I'm struggling as well as when I'm on form. They need to see that having bad days is normal, and that you don't need to isolate yourself when you're not coping.
They will also see the steps I take to improve my mental health, including self-care, forgiveness and reaching out to others.
Have you come across many of these parenting myths? Have you fallen for any yourself? What "advice" did you find to be completely wrong after you became a parent? Join the discussion by emailing me or leaving a comment below!

Museum of Chocolate
What you will do
The Chocolate Museum is a dynamic facility promoted by the Barcelona Provincial Confectionery Guild and located in the former Sant Agustí monastery. It provides a journey through the origins of chocolate, its arrival in Europe and its spread as an element between myth and reality, its medicinal properties and nutritional value, relating tradition with the future and forming part of our collective imagination.
The Chocolate Museum is located in a historic building that already had a relationship with chocolate: in the 18th century the Bourbon army was a fanatical consumer of chocolate and, according to the ordinances, chocolate was present on the menus of the 18th-century military academies: "For breakfast each cadet and company officer shall be given one and a half ounces of chocolate with a quarter of a pound of bread...". When the troops were in barracks, acting as garrison, chocolate was also commonly eaten. The halberdier corps, the monarch's personal bodyguard, was enviously known as the "chocolateros", because, as they were a pampered, elite corps, they consumed a great deal of chocolate.
Since the age of discovery in the 15th century, chocolate has played a role in the economic and social fabric of Barcelona. Along these lines, Barcelona port acted as a starting point for the sale and distribution of the product all over Europe.
In addition, the first workshop that transformed drinking chocolate into a solid product is recognised to have existed in the city at the end of the 19th century.

Product Description
Bright colors and strong contrasts in light catch my imagination when creating a composition to paint. Hawaii, on the land and under the sea, has offered me that! I have painted for over 30 years and usually paint in the traditional style with oils and acrylics. Lately I have enjoyed representing images in some non-traditional styles which gives the work a more impressionistic look. Painting objects in acrylic "dots" creates a mosaic or beaded texture. Along with larger sized paintings, I enjoy doing miniature acrylic paintings ranging in size from 2 inches by 2 inches up to 4 inches square. They are a small treasure to tuck away in a small space. I will continue to evolve and explore this wonderful creative outlet called art!

The University of St Andrews will be named Scottish university of the year in the Times and Sunday Times University Guide.
The achievement means that St Andrews was also shortlisted for UK university of the year. The University will be ranked fourth the in UK by the guide, equalling its highest ever ranking by the Times or Sunday Times. This is an improvement on last year when St Andrews was ranked sixth.
The guide also revealed that St Andrews achieved a student satisfaction rating of 85.9% which is the highest in Scotland and one of the highest in the UK. Its facilities spend per student is the highest in Scotland at £2,298 and its graduate prospects are the second highest in Scotland.
The news comes just over a week after the University achieved its highest ever ranking of 83rd in the QS world university rankings and the academic celebrations for the 600th anniversary took place.
Professor Louise Richardson, the principal, said: "The timing of this announcement, as we reach the conclusion of our 600th anniversary celebrations, is auspicious. Luck however has absolutely nothing to do with the achievement itself. It is due entirely to the talent and dedication of all who work and study here; our academic schools, our service units and our students, who are the ultimate ambassadors for the unique blend of research-led teaching which is at the heart of the St Andrews mission."
In a message to St Andrews staff and students, Professor Richardson said she hoped they would all "take considerable pride" in the part they had played in helping St Andrews secure the university of the year title.

I really needed to get more exercise. A selection of friends, medical practitioners & other interested parties had been pointing out that I was overweight and they'd started to use scary expressions like visceral fat and the like. I'd been working on my diet, mostly through vigorously policing what went into my shopping basket on visits to the monstromart, but apparently that wasn't the problem - my food intake was good, it was my overly indolent lifestyle that was letting the fat build up. So something needed to be done.
Cycling was my main source of (somewhat) strenuous exercise. I'm not a good jogger (shin splints & quickly aching feet) and although I used to regularly rack up the laps swimming when I lived in Scotland I hadn't managed to find slots that suited me in the local pool. I've done gym circuits in the past but the nearest centre was a train journey away which was somehow always a bit too much hassle. All feeble excuses I know but the end result was that I only broke a sweat when on two wheels.
In theory I was cycling into work through the week but that was becoming intermittent. Back at the end of last year I'd negotiated to work from home two days a week and for the past few months I'd been on secondment to a client, going to their site every Tuesday. This still left two days when I'd ride in but even that suffered when the weather was bad - I had waterproofs but there were no cyclist-friendly facilities at my workplace so I could end up damp & sweaty through the day, not much fun for me or my workmates.
A friend had mentioned that there was a new cycling route that had opened recently extending South out of Bath. It used a repurposed railway line and featured two tunnels, one of which was the longest cycling tunnel in Britain. Sounded interesting. When a Saturday started off cool & grey it seemed like a perfect opportunity to try it out and after some quick Googling I found that I could get to the other end (to Bath) by using the canal towpath and wouldn't need to take a train or cycle on busy roads. I slipped into my lycra, popped a bottle of water into my panniers and took to the road.
The first stage was alongside the Avon and then up onto the Kennet and Avon canal towpath. Both of these are usually well filled with pedestrians, dog walkers & other cyclists but today they were remarkably clear, presumably due to the greyish weather and the lure of retail opportunities. I passed a few fellow travellers and the inevitable group of charity walkers in matching t-shirts but otherwise it was me, the canal and a soft late summer morn.
At Dundas Aqueduct I left the canal and headed off to find the Two Tunnels. This had looked fairly straightforward from my online maps and I'd assumed that there would be some signage to lead cyclists from one popular track to another. However I hadn't allowed for my wayward & somewhat stubborn sense of direction - when I reached one of the Cycle Route signs I felt sure that my destination was along another road and headed up & up an increasingly steep hill before asking for directions and being sent all the way back down again. Still, it was fun zooming down the slope and, after all, my intention was to get some exercise.
Eventually I found the track and despite starting off in the wrong direction I soon found myself en route for the eponymous tunnels. The path was smooth & clear with a slight rising incline, passing through fields and woods with no sight or sound of traffic or other mosern-day activities. It wasn't quite a journey into Past Times as the other cyclists & runners I passed were clad in bright, techno-styled clothes & (particularly) shoes and were often iPodded or plugged into their mobiles, if anything it was more a vision of a future of leisure time & connectivity. And none the worse for that. As a home-working iPhone programmer this was my world and it was nice to see it doing so well for so many.
Although the track was clear enough to be able to cycle freely there were a good number of other users along the way. A good spread of ages too, from elderly walkers to family groups of cyclists, some towing child pods, several shepherding clusters of children on dayglo bikes of all sizes. There were a few groups of adult cyclists, some being obviously led on a set tour (I passed one group being given a 'points of interest' talk) while others seemed to be just out for a ride together. (On my way back I discovered that the trail ended at a rather nice looking gastro-pub which could also have been a factor).
I had noticed a few disapproving looks from other cyclists along the way and I suspect this was due to my riding without a helmet. Normally I always wear a 'lid' when I'm out on the bike - a legacy of years of urban cycling - but as I was only going to be on pathways or very quiet roads I decided to forego it for today. Was this being socially irresponsible? Was it giving a bad example to impressionable young cyclists? I was vastly outnumbered by properly helmeted riders and as a crusty oldster I wasn't exactly an example of Rebel Cool but it did make me think - how much responsibility did I have for establishing social norms? As a perennial outsider it posed an interesting question.
Eventually I arrived at the first of the tunnels. The gateway was undramatic, a dark brickwork wall with a red brick layer above it nestled between the sharply rising cutting embankments swathed in greenery. The oddly cupcake shaped entrance (with its white lintel giving a curious impression of iced topping) was flanked with sturdy municipal fencing and a sensible set of instructions - keep left, don't speed - and inside a set of lights could just be made out, slowly curving out of sight. A dense cluster of cyclists were grouped around what looked like a public information sign so I wove my way through them and entered the tunnel unenlightened.
The transition to inside the tunnel was dramatic and totally unexpected. The outside light quickly faded and I found myself in a strange environment & atmosphere - I was riding along just as before but everything else had changed. The lighting was low, widely spaced and downward focussed, as my eyes acclimatised to the dimness I saw the path stretching onwards, slicked with moisture, with roughly hewn rock and dark brickwork on either side. The ceiling was lost in the blackness overhead which somehow made the whole thing much less claustrophobic, it seemed as if the space reached up into an unseen vastness. The air felt much cooler than outside but after the initial shock it didn't seem to get any colder, remaining just a few degrees or so below my own temperature without seeming to drain the heat out of me.
I seemed to have the tunnel to myself, the only sound was the noise of tyres on tarmac and the quiet clankings of the pedals & chain. There was a slight sense of echo from my own noise but a deadening of anything further away - I knew from the number of other people on the trail that I wasn't actually alone in here but my senses were convinced that I had left them all behind. Onward I went, into the void.
After a while the path straightened and I could see far, far ahead along an uninterrupted ruler-straight line. This provided yet another conundrum for my confused senses - I could see I was moving past the walls on either side but I didn't seem to be making any progress towards the distant vanishing point ahead. It was a sort of Red Queen's race where my forward motion was in some strange way just fast enough for me to stay in the same place. As I carried on this sense of timelessness grew, to the extent that I felt transported into some sort of parallel world, tenuously connected to the one I'd been in before but unbounded by considerations of time & space. This might sound a bit overblown but it really was an amazing experience - more like an art installation than a simple cycle track.
And there were more surprises in store. As I was riding along I started to hear what sounded like faint violin music in the distance. It slowly grew in volume (without getting what could be called loud) and then suddenly there was a glimpse of a circular coloured light set into the wall before I was past it and the music slowly faded behind me. Very strange. This repeated five or six times through the central part of the tunnel with a different snatch of music each time. I stopped to investigate at one of them and found a circular light with a ringed light around it, pulsating with the music which was playing from an invisible speaker.
These splashes of fiddle provided yet another unearthly element to this increasingly mysterious journey. At cycling speed - I was observing the 'keep slow' guideline and was riding at a very moderate pace - there wasn't enough time to make sense of a tune being played (if indeed there was one) and each conjunction felt like a fragmentary glimpse into something that couldn't quite be resolved. It was like a partially overhead conversation coming from an opened door, cut off by its closing before you could make sense of it. The snatches of music were discernibly different but too short and unmemorable to weave into some greater whole, giving another impression of passing between places without fully visiting them.
Along the way I started to pass other travellers, both cyclists and pedestrians. I was fairly apprehensive at first as the lighting was very low and there were several family groups with very young children on an assortment of bikes & scooters - the potential for accidental collision seemed dangerously high. But in practice these meetings passed very gracefully, it was as if the darkness had increased everyone's sensitivity and virtually all the people I met smoothly moved over to the side as I approached.
Slowly the tunnel began to curve to the left and the mesmeric quality of the seemingly endless path began to fade. A brighter light appeared up ahead which quickly grew and resolved itself into an entranceway, through which I returned into the greenery of a country path. Another fast transition but an easier one this time, returning to the familiar rather than plunging into the unknown. The cool, stillness & hush of the tunnel was replaced with the colour, sounds & smells of a bright summer's day and I found my senses & spirit easing into 'ordinary' from the heightened awareness of the sensory-deprived underground path. And yet not quite - somehow the day seemed brighter, the trail more richly green and the world itself a little more welcoming & delightful. I had passed through an altered state and viewed my familiar world with revitalised eyes. And a smile crept onto my lips.
The path led on with trees either side (often joining overhead) and after a few minutes I came to the second tunnel. This was laid out in the same way as the other one but somehow felt different - a bit lighter, a bit squarer in cross section, a bit less mysterious. Was this just the loss of novelty value? This tunnel was considerably shorter than the first one and the exit appeared not long after the entrance had faded behind (although it was curved all the way through so you couldn't see the whole stretch at once) so maybe it was as simple as that. It was nice but, in comparison, not as special.
After the tunnels the trail continued onward, through the delightfully named Linear Park. Slowly the town on either side became more and more apparent and the green borders shrank back until, as I crossed the railway line by Oldfield Park, I found myself riding along an urban pathway with no trace of the countryside I'd come from. Which seemed to be a good point to turn around and retrace my steps.
On my second pass through the long tunnel I was determined to be more analytical than experiential but it still wove its magic through me. The dark, the chill, the moist air, the hush - I knew they were coming but still the overall effect was to give a sense of wonder. If anything it reminded me of being in a cathedral between services, a place that retains its numinous quality despite not being 'in use' in a way that we can comprehend. A temple for lost Gods? A teacher of mine had once explained that people could learn things 'without passing through understanding' and I could easily imagine my mind being carefully distracted while a deeper part of my being soaked up treasures from deep under the Earth.
Once again the tunnel felt cold without seeming to draw the heat out of me - I'd taken off my cycling gloves to take pictures but the chill didn't get into my exposed fingers as I rode, something that I'm usually susceptible to. "Aha!" I thought, "it seems cold but it actually isn't". Which seemed to explain it until I came out of the end and my glasses immediately steamed up, prompting a quick stop and demist. Very odd.
My wayward sense of direction reasserted itself (again) on the journey home - what seemed like a short cut along a little country lane turned out to be a steep and relentless ascent up and over the highest point on the hills flanking the river Avon. More exercise! The hedges on either side were, however, heavy with extremely ripe blackberries so I feasted on them as I slowly walked up, richly rewarded for my exertions. Another exciting downhill plunge followed, down through Limpley Stoke (really!) to river level and on to meet the canal towpath again. And from there, back home.
The tunnels had been an unexpectedly wonderful experience but I was also impressed by the network of cycling paths through the area, something I'd been peripherally aware of in the past but had never seriously investigated before. To be able to ride from my house to the far side of Bath with only a very few meetings with cars (and those on quiet country roads) made the whole excursion so much more relaxing & enjoyable, a real treat. There's quite a network of routes in the area so I small be exploring further in future.

Following Sumitomo Heavy Industry's purchase of Amec Foster Wheeler's circulating fluidised bed business, TEI Times caught up with Tomas Harju-Jeanty to discuss the deal and the opportunities it presents. Junior Isles
published in The Energy Industry Times, September 2017 Issue
It is always a big decision to spend hard-earned money to acquire a new business, especially during challenging market conditions. But there are times when some acquisitions make perfect sense for all involved. According to Tomas Harju-Jeanty, CEO at the newly formed Sumitomo SHI FW (SFW), the recent acquisition of Amec Foster Wheeler's (Amec FW) circulating fluidised bed (CFB) boiler business by Sumitomo Heavy Industries is one such deal.
"While there has been less consolidation in the industry than I would have expected, I think that Sumitomo was ready to take the opportunity when it appeared. One of the biggest reasons was the long-term friendship and cooperation that Foster Wheeler has had with Sumitomo Heavy Industries for around 20 years," he says, adding: "During this period the Foster Wheeler CFB has become the core business for Sumitomo's Energy and Environment business area."…Read full article

I love Laneige brand with many reasons. One of my favorite product that I recommend to all readers is their water sleeping mask. I have been using this one product for more than 5 years now, and I always and ALWAYS ask for the sleeping mask samples when I could get it. You can see all the dusty samples that I have been stocking on my cabinet.

LADYFOX TIP! You can fridge this product in the refridgerator and have that more cool feeling on to your skin to release stress and close those pores!
Ingredients-Safe, Medium Danger, Danger
Water, Butylene Glycol, Cyclopentasiloxane, glycerin, cyclohexasiloxane, trehalose, sodium hyaluronate, oenothera biennis root extract, prunus armeniaca fruit extract, beta-glucan, chenopodium quinoa seed extract, ascorbyl glucoside, magnesium sulfate, zinc sulfate, manganese sulfate, calcium chloride, potassium alginate, ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate, polysorbate 20, dimethicone, dimethiconol, dimethicone, polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate, hydroxypropyl bispalmitamide mea, inulin lauryl carbamate, alcohol, 1,2-hexanediol, caprylyl glycol, carbomer, tromethamine, disodium edta, phenoxyethanol(known to be a Preservatives if inhaled can cause Anesthesia), fragrance(food coloring but still needs caution), blue 1(food coloring but still needs caution)
When you open your first laneige Water Sleeping Mask You will get the bottle and a SeupachyullaI or spoon or whatever you call those things. I really think it is important that you use CLEAN seupachyullal to prevent contaminating the bottle cream and keep the cream clean on your skin too. This is one of the ways to prevent acne or pimples on your skin. :)
Now it's time to open my new bottle :D So EXCITED~!
This is like my I think around my 5th I don't remember I tried other sleeping pack in the middle and went back and forth so I lost count XD
Who cares! As Long as it works!
Take the SeupachyullaI and give it a scoop!
Look at the strength the cream has on this pic and it's BLUE! It didn't fall even if I was adjusting the camera (which I failed miserably with the focus) But suprisingly the reason it didn't fall is not because of the strength (which usually mean sticky cream) but it is because of the moist and the lightness it has and the way the cream has a bit of a jello feeling to it (just a little). I hope I could help you create the picture here.
TEXTUREThe texture is very soft, you can barely feel the cream! Because of all the water it holds it's very moist and the moment it touches your skin you feel that cool~Ahhhhh feeling. Which can be intensify when you fridge it before use.
I love how it has absolutely no oil so even oily skin people can enjoy the light cream.
After Using This Product For More Than 5 Years...It's kinda hard to say if this product did give me whitening effect since I use so many other skin care product for it that it's hard to tell if this product did anything to help.
But I can certainly see a change in the way my skin looks. Now it's more dewy giving off a healthier glow. I do feel that I look less yellowish and more clear making my skin look more white under the light. My skin is always always so soft even in the puffy mornings.
By giving intense moisturizing so often I do feel my pores are smaller and more tighter even under heat for a long time.
The consistent care with coolness and moist helped my skin blemishes too!
Who Do I recommend this to?All Skin Types
Dry Skin
Oily Skin
Sensitive Skin
Acne Prone Skin
What Features Did You Actually See?Reduce in blemishes and yellowish color
Reduce of flaky makeup
Healthier skin

The 2017 Junior High School Master Chinese Teachers' Demonstration Classes and the "100 Famous Books Entering Campus" events were held at our junior high school campus on June 28.
Fan Beiming from Shenzhen Experimental School, who is the first-prize winner of the Guangdong Chinese Teaching Competition, gave a lecture on how to read the article "Great Tragedy."
She led the students by exploring the profound meaning by "enjoying it by looking for its direction, reading with deep feeling and writing by thinking."
Then our school's teacher Peng Liqiong gave a lesson called "Xiangzi's tragedy: whose fault was it?" She organized tasks in which her students actively explored and pondered the reasons for Xiangzi's tragedy.
What's more, by comparing Fugui's image in the story "Alive," the students deeply reflected on and asked questions regarding the attitude one should have towards life.
Finally, Zhao Chao from Longgang Experimental School gave a highly effective lesson on writing. She demonstrated how to use mind maps to write a composition, check and revise it after finishing and write it again.
The three lessons expanded perspectives on Chinese teaching methods and introduced the audience to new ways of thinking.
Afterwards, junior middle school textbook editorial dean Tang Jianxin evaluated the three classes and gave comments, allowing the observing teachers to further understand the lessons from a higher angle.

May 24th, 2010
In the summer of '82, I fought in the Lebanon War for the Israel Defense Forces. I was shot at a few times, survived some artillery barrages but came home in one piece. To celebrate survival, I joined my very lovely friend, Michelle Benishu, for beers at a Jerusalem pub. Her family's experience of the war dampened my selfish joy. Her brother was a member of a religious armored brigade ordered by Ehud Barak into a Syrian ambush above Lake Karoun, ten miles from my position, in a wadi called Sultan Yakob. Before the brigade could be extricated, 23 soldiers had died and twice as many had been wounded. Her brother fell into the latter category, suffering severe shell shock. If that sounds minor, don't tell him that. He was hospitalized for weeks until he recovered enough to go home. Seeing two dozen killed will do that to you.
I asked Michelle, "So being religious has nothing to do with survival in war?"
Without hesitation she answered, "Not a thing." Continue reading
