Originally from New England, Nicole moved to Los Angeles and worked in the music & film business for five years. After her son was born in 2005, she decided a change of scenery was in order. She moved from the fast-paced Southern California lifestyle to the more family oriented environment of Sonoma County — the perfect place to raise a family! However, she will always keep a bit of New England in her heart.
The simple, unique, natural beauty of eggs was Nicole's inspiration for the name Eggy and it is reflected in the design of her line of clothing for children. Her love for design has grown through the years and Eggy is the end product. Eggy holds within it a whimsy for design and life, inspired by her first child but always evolving, as a child does.

The U.S. commercial property segment recorded the biggest rise in pricing among insurance sectors in the second quarter of 2019, with its rate of growth increasing to 8.5 percent from 5.9 percent in the first quarter, according to this report. This is the first time since the end of 2014 that another line of business had a larger premium increase than commercial auto, where premiums rose 8.4 percent in the second quarter. The report includes the results of a survey of agents and brokers which found that clients are continuing to show concern about cyberrisk, with 74 percent of respondents reporting an increase in demand for cyber insurance. According to one respondent from a midsized firm in the Southeast, "many of our accounts purchased cyber liability this year whereas they declined in past years." Future premium increases and limitations on coverage were also sources of client concern. Full report
Small business owners have never been more satisfied with their insurance providers, according to this J.D. Power study. The all-time high satisfaction score of 844 (on a 1,000-point scale) follows three years of stagnant satisfaction levels and is the result of insurance company investment in technology, servicing, product expansion and dedicated infrastructure designed to support small business customers, according to the report. "Insurers have focused on improving their approach to the small commercial market and it shows," said David Pieffer, Practice Lead, Property & Casualty Insurance Practice. "Technology has become an increasingly critical component in the small commercial insurance offering. Digital channels are now more influential than ever before in shaping commercial customer experiences and this will be an important area of focus moving forward as technology continues to evolve rapidly and more customers interact with their insurers via electronic channels. News release
The report discusses the exponential growth of digital data, and how the newest resources are generally inexpensive and can help property/casualty insurers price new markets and risk classes by augmenting internal data with external semi-structured data sources. The four business needs supported by data analytics are: 1) identifying new opportunities in reference to current portfolio structure; 2) understanding and engaging customers more effectively especially through the use of behavioral economics to improve targeting, bidding and engagement; 3) understanding how insurers can complement their portfolio data by links to multiple external databases; and 4) automating underwriting and claims processing. The article includes a colorful array of figures, graphs, tables and diagrams showing various aspects of the increasing use of advanced analytics in the insurance industry. Full report
Almost half of auto insurance customers would be interested in a data-powered rewards program from their insurers based on data collected from the car, according to a survey by Aite Group. Younger customers and those with higher incomes were more likely to be interested in these kinds of initiatives. Customers who already used an app to collect their own driving data also were more likely to be interested in signing on for a discount program. About a quarter of the auto insurance customers surveyed reported that they already have such a data-collection mechanism; 10 percent of those customers said they never use it, compared to 55 percent who use it "every day." Press release
This report shows that U.S. captive insurance companies rated by A.M. Best continued reporting strong financial results in 2018 and outperformed their counterparts in the commercial casualty sector. According to the report, the rated captive composite reported a pretax profit of approximately $1.1 billion, a decline of 16 percent compared with the $1.3 billion posted in 2017. A.M. Best emphasized that the market remained profitable, however, despite the decline. The post-dividend combined ratio of the composite was 96.0 percent in 2018, and net underwriting profit was $160.0 million. Premium increases in medical professional liability and commercial multiperil insurance lines of business were primary factors in the 4.4 percent increase in net premiums written in 2018, which reversed the 6.7 percent decline the previous year. The report shows that captives have successfully weathered low interest rates, revisions to the U.S. tax law and prolonged soft market conditions. Full report (subscription required)
This report shows that plaintiffs filed 198 new federal securities class actions in the first half of 2019, and they overall have filed more than 1,000 securities class actions in the last two and a half years, accounting for more than 20 percent of the total number of cases filed since 1997. The core filings increase is largely attributable to a delayed effect of market volatility in the last quarter of 2018 and to an uptick in filings in the consumer non-cyclical sector and against internet and high-tech firms. The consumer non-cyclical sector had 47 filings, with 32 of these against biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and healthcare companies. The 19 filings in the communications sector were all against internet and telecommunications companies. Core filings against S&P 500 firms in the first half of 2019 occurred at an annualized rate of 6.4 percent. The report also notes that there were three core filings involving initial coin offerings (ICOs) or cryptocurrencies in the first half of 2019 up from one such filing in the second half of 2018.

This article by environmental scholars from universities including Harvard and Stanford, make the case for planned retreat for communities that are repeatedly impacted by natural disasters. "By reconceptualizing retreat as a set of tools used to achieve societal goals, communities and nations gain additional adaptation options and a better chance of choosing the actions most likely to help their communities thrive," the paper states. It notes that retreat strategies should be forward-looking and responsive to economic opportunities, market forces, and demographic changes. "A proactive strategy may recommend retreat be pursued in at-risk areas the next time those homes are flooded," the paper states. "Or it might identify path dependencies: steps taken today that promote or limit future options. For example, limits on shoreline armoring could enable future retreat, whereas heavy armoring today is likely to encourage dense development and make future retreat more difficult." Full text
This study, commissioned by FEMA, assesses disaster resilience by measuring the financial stability of individuals and their connection to their communities, as an alternative to such typical resilience measures as the quality of infrastructure, physical protection from natural disasters and risks of flooding and hurricanes. The primary factor in the analysis is how well individuals know their neighbors, since the quality of these relationships leads to the providing of care and the sharing of such simple resources as flashlights. An analysis of FEMA records shows that the states with the lowest resilience are generally the states which have been hit by the largest number of federal disasters since 1953. The top 10 states in terms of the total number of disasters include Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Kentucky and Mississippi—states in which a majority of the counties were given low or mediocre resilience rankings. The study concludes that the southern half of the U.S. is much less resilient than the northern half, based on an analysis of income inequality and religious affiliation in all counties. Manhattan, or New York County, is one of the least resilient counties, primarily because most of its residents do not own automobiles. Full report
With low back pain prevalent in workers compensation, this study from the Workers Compensation Research Institute (WCRI) highlights large interstate variations in the use of early magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and lumbar decompression surgery for injured workers with lower back conditions. It also finds that state-adopted medical treatment guidelines and mandatory use of these guidelines in utilization review, reimbursement and dispute resolution tended to correlate with a lower rate of lumbar decompression surgery. The study includes claims from 27 states, with injuries from October 1, 2015, through March 31, 2017. Detailed medical transactions for these claims cover the first year of treatment from the date of injury up through March 31, 2018. To learn more about this study, visit WCRI's website at www.wcrinet.org.
This report from Los Angeles-based Consumer Watchdog, asserts that while warnings about potential hacks of self-driving cars are well publicized, components that carry similar risks are frequently being installed in ordinary consumer automobiles without much ado. Citing anonymous interviews with 20 auto and software engineers who work on connected cars, the report warns that each year 17 million new cars are deployed on American roads in which the mechanisms that control movement—accelerating, steering, and braking—can be overridden by computers and software. To reduce the risk, Consumer Watchdog recommends that automakers should install a 50-cent electronic "kill switch" to give drivers the option to cut the connection between the internet and safety-critical features (like the brakes and the engine).

Claim Case: The Floating Pipe Trick
This webinar is about a project that experienced the unexpected, natural disaster. The webinar will use a case regarding a large diameter corrugated metal drainage pipe that floated out of the ground during a rainstorm that occurred during construction. This webinar addresses topics such as the importance of evaluating the potential consequences of allowing alternative materials, important information used to defend the liability claim, and the importance of maintaining a positive relationship between the client and consultant throughout settlement of the claim.
By the end of this webinar attendees will:
- Understand the importance of carefully addressing alternative materials that are allowed in the contract documents;
- Understand the importance of considering potential issues that can arise during construction;
- Learn why it is beneficial for the consultant to be involved in negotiations with the contractor regarding a change order and how to overcome a construction problem;
- Learn the basic principles of how to manage a professional liability claim.

You accrue 2.08 (25/12 = 2.08) days of holiday for each month of employment in a calendar year (the year of accrual), regardless of the monthly number of working hours. This means that you accrue 25 days of holiday in a calendar year, which corresponds to five weeks of holiday.

You accrue 0.42 (5/12 = 0.42) days of special holiday for each month of employment in a calendar year (the year of accrual), regardless of the monthly number of working hours. This means that you accrue five days of special holiday in a calendar year.
Permanently employed monthly-paid staff receive a special holiday supplement which, in most collective agreements, is set at 1.5% of the pay earned in the previous calendar year (year of accrual). This special holiday supplement is normally disbursed together with the monthly pay for April.
New graduates who are covered by the Collective Agreement for State-Employed Academics are entitled to five days off with pay during their first year of employment.
The right to five days off for new graduates applies if you are employed as of 1 April 2018 or later.
The right to five days off with pay applies in your first year of employment during which you will be receiving starting salary in accordance with the collective agreement. This right also applies if you are employed in a temporary position.
The right to days off with pay does not apply if you have accrued holiday pay from a previous full-time employment with another employer which lasted at least three months.
Please make an agreement with your immediate supervisor regarding your plans for taking days off. These days off must be taken as full days off. They cannot be divided into a number of hours off per day.
If you do not take the five days off during your first year of employment, they will be lost. The same applies if you resign from your position at Aarhus University without having taken the days off.
The agreement on days off for new graduates applies until the new Danish Holiday Act comes into force on 1 September 2020.

text: Lease accounting is being overhauled for companies accounting under full International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), resulting in on-balance sheet treatment for operating leases for the first time. The change will impact most companies using IFRS in some way, but groups operating in sectors with traditionally large operating lease portfolios, such as retail, transport and communications will be particularly affected. This briefing summarises the accounting change and its key impact on English law financing agreements.

I recently returned from a yoga retreat with Prana Pacifico and everything about it was truly amazing! The location is unreal...the perfect place to disconnect from day-to-day life and reconnect with yourself, with nature, and with amazing people. Linsey was a fantastic host! Her enthusiasm for her work is contagious and her culinary creations are out of this world!
Norby Quintero Colombia
It is a magical place that connects with emotions, the food is incredible, it is an experience full of introspection, the nature of the forest mixes with the sea, making a set of sounds and landscapes that can be appreciated from the rustic house on high of the island.

Advantage BlogDan's Blog >>
R & D Review
R & D activity in 2018 has been lively, to say the least. Here is an update.
Integration with Salesforce and Dynamics: We recently tightened the integration between Advantage and these applications. Many of our prospects and clients use one of these CRM applications to manage sales leads and want a seamless integration between said package and Advantage.
For example, a user in Salesforce or Dynamics might want to enter a quote and have that result in a quote in Advantage. At the same time, they may wish to view information in Salesforce or Dynamics about orders taken or payments made in Advantage. They may also wish to view information managed in Advantage which is not in the CRM application, such as information about an existing subscription agreement.
Current technology allows a user in one application to see information in another without really knowing (or caring) where the information is stored. This is exactly the kind of integration we've built with Salesforce and Dynamics.
Customer Service in Salesforce or Dynamics? While I'm on this subject, we've noted a trend over the past few years towards a desire to perform customer service in one of these big CRM tools. Prospects ask us about this with some frequency. We have been in numerous sessions with prospects who have received an edict from their management to do everything in Salesforce or Dynamics, including customer service on complex transactions which are performed by a separate application.
This is not easy, since the transaction system holds sometimes complex business logic which does not translate well into the CRM application. Additionally, these transaction systems, like Advantage, come with customer service views which are specifically designed for a customer service agent to be able to perform relevant actions on a customer's account while they have them on chat or the telephone. I know we at AdvantageCS have spent thousands of hours developing customer service views which empower the agent to assist the customer in any way they need. They are designed to be powerful and extremely efficient.
Select Set Builder: Another R&D project which we've just finished up is a redesign of our select set builder. This is a powerful part of Advantage and is used extensively by all of our clients. It is essentially the place where a user can get at the database based on any criteria desired, with outcomes such as a renewal set, or a report, or a telesales/teleservices call list, or a SQL table, for example.
The redesigned interface is more intuitive and uses more plain language, rather than Boolean language, which will make many users happier. The UI employs drag-and-drop selection criteria, is built on a browser, and makes these capabilities in Advantage much more accessible to more users than ever before.
I was invited to be part of a test where users who hadn't seen the new UI were asked to use it with no instruction and to "think out loud" as they played around with it, so the observing engineer or designer could hear what some of the less-than-obvious issues were. This resulted in some tweaking, which improved the final result. I have to say that I love the new builder!
Members Advantage: Finally, we have developed a number of enhancements to Members Advantage, providing even more capabilities to our prospects and customers. These include membership application entry features, chapter assignment improvements, enhanced group renewal capabilities, member service workflows, membership bundle opt-in/out features, and better upload support.
As we serve both consumer membership organizations as well as professional membership bodies, we will continue to build up the capabilities for both types of organizations.
R & D work is still happening at a fast and furious pace; I'll update you again in a few months.

Jasmin Lee THEA101 MWF 1030-1120 6 February 2013 Medea Summary The play "Medea" is about an oriental woman named Medea who has just found out about her husband, Jason, marrying the princess of Corinth because of royalty. The play starts out with the "Nurse" telling the story about how pitiful and sorrowful she thinks of Medea and how she sense danger for Medea's two boys. The father of the woman to be betrothed to Jason, King Creon, fears the wrath of Medea and banishes her from Corinth immediately.
However, Medea, the wise and witty woman she is, has already disguised a plot to get revenge on Jason. Medea convinces Creon to let her spend just one more night in Corinth in needs of preparation to leave, which the king agrees to do, not realizing the danger he was bringing upon his precious daughter and himself. Medea then meets Aegeus who is the king of Athens, and arranges to bear his children in exchange for full protection and a place to stay in Athens, which he blissfully agrees to and sets off.
That night, Medea calls Jason over, faking an apology, asking for forgiveness, and telling him her last request which was for him to look after her sons after she had left Corinth. Jason gladly concurs and seems eased and unconcerned, without a slight intuition of what was to come next. Medea sends over her boys to the princess with two gifts, one a golden diadem and the other, a robe of gossamer, both being poisonous to touch. Not knowing of this fact, the princess wears the robe of gossamer and puts the golden diadem on top of her head, and instantly dies.
Her father, not thinking, rushes over to her daughter and touches her and caresses her in grief, and also immediately dying on the spot. A messenger from the palace informs Medea that both the princess and the king of Corinth are dead, and her treacherous deed was done. However, Medea felt the need to kill her own sons, because they were of Jason's blood, so she kills the two sons, and just as Jason comes to retrieve his sons full of excitement, he is notified of their tragic death following Medea's departure from Corinth with the dead bodies of her two sons, galloping towards freedom, in Athens.

Welcome to my review of the third and final day of I4GG!
This day was a little different than the previous two days as the sessions were split, so you chose which sessions you wanted to attend, which meant I missed a couple of sessions, which I'm sure were great, I just can't speak to them. (I understand that all attendees get videos of all the sessions, so I will get to see them soon!)
CeCe Moore – The Intersection of Law Enforcement and Genetic Genealogy
Cece opened today's session to discuss the recent rise of genetic genealogy being used to solve criminal cases; this was a major theme of this weekend, not least because a number of law enforcement officers were also in attendance at the conference today. Coincidentally, the day that the arrest of the Golden State Killer was announced was also 'DNA Day'. Initially, the Barbara Rae-Venter genealogist who had found the killer had stayed
CeCe went into a lot of detail about some of the misconceptions surrounding investigative work, and her work with
Diahan Southard – Connecting Your DNA Matches
The next session I did was another session from Diahan Southard, who gave us some pointers on working with our DNA Match
Admittedly, working that out, isn't always the easiest thing in the world, particularly if you have endogamous lines. In my
To try and lay this out in practice, here's an example. To try and identify my 2x great-grandfather (to answer the above 'who was my dad's paternal grandmother's (Jane) father' question), who would be the best match to help me answer that question? To answer that, I would want to test known relatives to my great-grandmother, Louisa. Great, my dad had already tested, and I had access to his results. However, Louisa married about seven years after the birth of my grandfather
The idea is you are trying to identify someone with a known relationship
Dana Leeds – Creating and Analyzing Genetic Networks with a Spreadsheet
I was really excited for this session; you may not know this about me, but I am a HUGE spreadsheet nerd. My day job before starting Toll Genealogy was as a project manager, and I used to spend a lot of my working day writing and designing very fancy Excel reports. As soon as I came across the Leeds method on the internet I dabbled with it, but I was investigating ways to be able to use the Leeds method in conjunction with some of my reporting techniques.
I am not going to go into too much detail about Dana's lecture, because I think it's best to learn from her. If you haven't ever heard of the Leeds Method before, do check out Dana's website and posts here: https://www.danaleeds.com/leeds-method-dna/. But for a brief overview, the Leeds method is basically a way to try and cluster your DNA matches, originally with the aim of clustering your matches into your four grandparent lines. For some people it works brilliantly; if you have endogamous lines, or just not very many matches in the first place (that would be most British people), it doesn't always help. I know some of the cases I work on it's ended up with one big column of one colour (oh hello, endogamy!), and others where I've ended up with 35-40 different and sparse colour columns.
Listening to Dana introduce the Leeds method in person was very inspiring, and something weird (for me) happened when I was listening to her. I had pulled in some data from a client test I had access to, that I knew was a good contender for the Leeds method, and I was following what she was saying and creating colour clusters for this test, I suddenly understood exactly how I could adapt the method and still use it for further reporting and investigation. I'm still finessing this but will share my method here on the website once I have! Essentially though, even with my method, I would still start off with Dana's model, because it really helps to visually see how the colours cluster up in separate columns. If you want to be able to employ reporting off the bat, then there is a way to use Excel's in-built conditional formatting to accomplish the colouring but this is slightly more work. Here's a screenshot of a 'typical' Excel cluster chart, it helps illustrate the general idea:
Kathy Johnston – The Extraordinary X-Chromosome
After a great lunch, I attended Kathy Johnston's talk about X-DNA. I freely admit that I was not very knowledgeable about X-DNA before Kathy's talk, and it was not something I felt was very useful. I mean, I knew what it was, but as far as I was concerned all my X matches were really distant, we probably shared an ancestor way, way, way back, and I'd never
Now, in my case that may be true, at least right now, I don't really have workable X-DNA matches right now, at least on 23andMe, Gedmatch and FamilyTreeDNA (Ancestry doesn't provide any X-DNA information, nor does My Heritage (right now; I understand this is something they are planning to add in the future, at least according to this post). With Gedmatch you can run just the X-DNA match test, with 23andMe and FamilyTreeDNA, I believe you have to match on an autosomal test to be able to see where you match with someone on the X (and you and your match have to have both opted into the chromosome browser functionality).
Kathy showed us how she uses X chromosome descendancy charts for a person to work out who an X could have come from. For the best example I've found (which Kathy also used), check out Blaine Bettinger's blog post on this subject at
You can use these or similar charts in another way that Kathy outlined; you can flip them upside down, and put an ancestor at the top. This is particularly useful where you know how you match with a particular DNA match that you also share X DNA with, but not where that X DNA comes from. You'd put your common ancestor at the top, then on each side of the chart, build the tree down so you can see visually which descendants would have carried that X down to you and your match. Kathy also stated that in 14% of cases, the X-DNA is passed down completely intact from mother to child.
I found Kathy's talk really informative, and as I work with Gedmatch on forensic and unknown parentage cases, it's helped me understand how and when I really need to pay close attention to that X. I'm also looking forward to being able to use it with my own tree as I get more and more matches
Barbara-Rae Venter – Genetic Genealogy Is Not Just for Family History Research Any More: Identifying A Suspect For The Golden State Killer
It was wonderful to hear from Barbara-Rae who basically told us a little bit about her work and how she got involved in investigative genealogy. Barbara-Rae started, like many of us, as a genealogist working on her own family history, and got involved with genetic genealogy in trying to uncover a branch of her Scottish roots through the creation of a DNA Project using Family Tree DNA. She started volunteering as a search angel through DNAAdoption.com. At some point, a detective with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department contacting DNAAdoption.com to see if genetic genealogy techniques might be able to be used to uncover the identity of a kidnap victim, Lisa Jensen. This was a story I was familiar with, having read about it in a Boston Globe piece. Lisa was essentially abandoned by her 'father' at the age of about five years old, and given, by him, to a couple for a trial adoption. When this couple tried to make the adoption official, they found the father had disappeared.
As time went on, it became painfully clear that Lisa had been abused and had led a very traumatic early life. The police later traced the man who had abandoned Lisa, and DNA testing later proved he was not her father.
Through DNA testing of Lisa, and genetic genealogy research techniques Barbara was able to identify Lisa's mother, whose name had been Denise, and the fact that she and her baby had been missing since November 1981. Barbara also talked about how the man who had abandoned Lisa, was tied to the Bear Brooks Murders, and one of the victims, a young girl, was proved to be his daughter.
Barbara spoke about how a suspect for the Golden State Killer case was narrowed down, and a brief recap of the history of the Golden State Killer linked crimes (great for those of us not from California, with no real knowledge of what had happened). For more information about how she worked on that case, this New York Times article is excellent. You can also watch her talk to the Genetic Genealogy Ireland conference on Youtube here.
The sense I got from listening to Barbara, and also from hearing CeCe talk, is that although the issue of forensic/investigative genetic genealogy is one that has sharply divided the genetic genealogy community, is that they both do it because they feel it's really important work. As I mentioned earlier, I'm planning a blog post (or perhaps more than one!) on this subject, because I feel it's one that's incredibly important, and it's also an issue that is difficult to understand, both on the sides for and against. There are a lot of misconceptions about genetic genealogy and its use by law enforcement, and frankly, no argument I've read, for or against fits every single nuance.
CeCe Moore – DNA Stories from Finding Your Roots and Sneak Peak @ 2018
Finally, on a more light-hearted note CeCe closed the conference by treating us to some behind-the-scenes stories from Finding Your Roots, and explaining how some of the more memorable cases were researched, including that of Tea Leone. We also got to see the trailer for, and an idea of the celebrities that would be featured on the new season. All of this is now old news, of course, since the show started its new season on 8th January in the US! I adore Finding Your Roots, and I'm so sad that it's not shown here in the UK. However you can watch the first two seasons via the PBS UK channel (seven day free trial available – you can binge watch both series in that time!) on Amazon Prime, or by buying it from iTunes.
Concluding Thoughts
I am so glad that I made the decision to go to the conference and to go to San Diego. I learned so much, met some really great people, and yes, it was great to be in such a beautiful and warm city in December! I would definitely go again if it runs in future (and if I could afford it, I would probably go to Southern California in December every year just to be in the warm!). It was so inspiring to be in the company of other people interested in and knowledgeable about genetic genealogy. I also learned that if you are the only British person in the room, you will get asked weird and wonderful questions about British genealogy and record sets, and nine times out of 10 you will actually know the answer! I really wish that I had planned to stay an extra couple of days so that I could sight-see more; I didn't really 'see' San Diego beyond the neighbourhood of the hotel. That said, staying at the hotel where the conference was held was a wise move, and made things so much easier. All in all, I would 100% recommend anyone to go to the conference!

I've declared my love for the Sleek MakeUP i-Divine Eyeshadow Palettes many times on my blog as I find them to be great value, and the quality is usually very good. Sleek launched the Goodnight Sweetheart Palette and the Nordic Skies Palettes for Autumn and they're both limited edition so I decided to purchase them both directly from the Sleek website, and I've already reviewed the Goodnight Sweetheart Palette here back in November.
The Sleek MakeUP Nordic Skies i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette £8.99 didn't appeal to me as much as Goodnight Sweetheart as it's packed with pastel shadows but as I was paying the delivery charge anyway, I decided I'd purchase Nordic Skies as well as their limited edition palettes tend to sell out quite quickly.
Sleek MakeUP say;
Lose yourself in the magic of a dreamy Nordic ocean fused with the iridescence of a glittering twilight sky. Icy shimmers of pastel lilac, green and coral alongside muted taupe and brown hues take you seamlessly from a wash of daytime colour to a smokier night-time look.
The picture of the Sleek MakeUP Nordic Skies i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette on the Sleek website gave the impression that the shades were relatively bold considering they were pastel shades, but in reality the shadows are all considerably more muted so I don't feel that the stock photo is a fair representation of the palette as the colours are a lot paler than the photo implies.
The palette contains twelve circular eyeshadow pans packaged within a matte, black plastic palette just like all of the i-Divine Palettes, and comes with a dual-ended sponge tip applicator and a mirror within the lid. The shades within the palette feature shimmer, satin and matte finishes and I can't help thinking that this particular palette is more appropriate for Spring than it is Autumn and Winter.
I have a pretty big collection of the Sleek i-Divine Palettes as I've been collecting them for several years, and I can't remember the last time I was disappointed by one of their palettes but sadly the Sleek MakeUP Nordic Skies i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette is disappointing. I know the shades are pastels and are more muted, but the pigmentation isn't amazing like Sleek shadows usually are and I just don't find that they go together nicely on the eyes.
Obviously it's all down to preference, and if you like muted pastels this palette might be for you but for £8.99 I don't think it's their best palette by a long way and I would be more inclined to recommend their All The Fun of the Fair Palette (which you can only purchase on the Sleek website) as it also contains pastels but they perform a lot better than this palette unfortunately.
I'd love to know if you have any Sleek Palettes? Which is your favourite?

text: Between 1949 and 1955, the lower middle Hecla Hoek succession in Ny Friesland was established and reported. Examination of the series in various localities during these years and subsequent field work in 1956 and 1957 have yielded additional details which are here reported. The nature of the contact with the lower Hecla Hoek is considered, and the Veteranen limestones and quartzites of the lower Veteranen series, the Galoistoppen beds and Cavendishryggen limestones and quartzites of the middle Veteranen series, the Glasgowbreen quartzites and graywackes of the upper Veteranen series, and the Enpiggen beds and Fulmarberget shales of the Oxfordbreen series are described. The section is compared with that in Nordaustlandet. The succession as a whole shows frequent repetition of a limited number of rock types and probably represents a distinctive phase in the development of the Ny Friesland geosyncline.

PANAJI: The multilayered goods and services tax structure should converge into a single or two rates and no new rate structure should be introduced in future, the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) said recently. Further, CII has said the government should ensure the bulk of goods and services should fall within the standard rate of 18% and only as exception should the higher rate of 28% be applied.
"The GST rate structure must absolutely be limited to a maximum of four rates, as suggested by the government, and over time the government should commit to converge it to one or two rates," CII president Naushad Forbes said.
Forbes said it was important for the Union government to ensure the bulk of goods and services fall within the 18% tax category with the higher rate of 28% being utilized as an exception.
"A lower rate for essential goods like unprocessed food items can be put in place but the proposal that the higher rate of 28% should apply only to 'demerit goods' and the term 'luxury goods' should not be used to define this category," Forbes added.
He also raised the issue of multiple registrations in each state for the supply of goods and services saying it could result in a complex burden for companies that operate in different states. "Businesses in the services sector like telecom, banking, insurance, airlines, e-commerce, undertake pan-India operations and meeting requirements of each state through different registrations, audits and compliances would be a massive task," said Forbes.
CII has further suggested that cess needs to be levied only on the final product and total tax including cess on demerit goods should be kept within the present overall indirect tax incidence.

It is a known fact that teenagers and alcohol are not a good combination. Unfortunately, when a vehicle is added into the mix, the combination can prove deadly. Drinking and driving can have devastating consequences for all involved. Drunk driving accidents involving teenagers happen far too often in Louisiana.
In 2013, an 18-year-old girl was driving a sedan carrying her twin sister and another 18-year-old girl as passengers. Police reports indicate that the young driver ran a stop sign. As she did this, an SUV, which had the right-of way, crashed into the sedan. The sedan's driver and her twin sister were both seriously injured in the accident, and the other passenger in the car was killed. Fortunately, the other driver only sustained minor injuries.
Further investigation indicated that the sedan's driver, although underage, had been drinking. Her blood alcohol level was in excess of two times the legal limit. As a result, she was arrested and charged with vehicular homicide, as well as other traffic-related crimes. The now 20-year-old woman has recently pleaded guilty and could spend anywhere from five to 30 years in prison for her poor decisions.
As a result of this young girl's decisions, the number of drunk driving accidents in Louisiana increased, and another young girl lost her life. This tragedy has certainly weighed heavily on the minds of this victim's family. In addition to this tragic loss, there were also most likely medical expenses, funeral expenses and other financial concerns. Now that the criminal part of this tragedy is coming to a close, it is possible that her family will seek relief through Louisiana's civil courts.

Wallpaper & System Info Management Script
I've been working on my little wallpaper management bash shell script that handles changing wallpapers on my desktop. The image to the right shows the system information that is displayed down the right edge of my screen. From the top you have:
Local weather forecast for the next four days.
The current and next calendar months.
List of the last twelve incoming phone calls.
Various system info such as cpu usage, disk space and top five processes.
(The image contains bogus phone numbers, don't bother trying to ring 'em.)
Ever since I upgraded my desktop to two monitors this background information has been a lot more visible off to the side, and so I decided to give it a bit of an update.
Originally I was using conky to display all that information, but all the info aside from the system info is fairly static, and could easily be updated when the wallpaper changes every five minutes, instead of being a set of conky processes, so I've been playing a lot with ImageMagick and sharpening up my bash scripting skills to actually write the information onto the wallpaper image. So far I have the phone log and calendar being written, and plan to do the weather forecast next, so then I will only be running one conky process.
Currently the script does the following:
Check if the screen saver is active. If so, then skip the whole thing and check again in five minutes as the computer isn't being used at the moment.
Randomly pick an image file from my wallpapers folder to use for the desktop. It will cycle through the complete set of available images before repeating.
Takes a look at the aspect ratio of the image to figure out if it is suitable for a single screen or dual screen background.
If only single screen, finds another single screen image to use and stitches the two together side by side.
Resize the whole thing to be the same dimension as my desktop (width of both screens).
Apply the watermark image, which is what gives you the translucent grey rectangles behind each of the four bits of info.
Write the calendar and phone log information into the image.
Chuck the completed image up as the desktop wallpaper.
Wait five minutes and repeat.
So far, so good. I'll write the weather info into the image next [DONE!]. At some point I want to update the weather script to pull the information from the XML files published by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology instead of getting it from weather.com as they always seem to be a degree or two out, and presumabley the ABoM would be more accurate [Also done!].
I'm also gonna display some quota usage metrics for my ISP. They provide an API for account holders to retrieve various info about their data usage, so at some point soon I'll write some scripts to retrieve and format the info. UPDATE 2010/1/25: Done! I've updated the image to show what it looks like. It's down next to the conky display. (Note that I'm not really spam limited, just a simulation for the demo, honest!)
Might also run another conky process to tail the last few lines of
/var/log/messages. [UPDATE: I'm actually using the KDE/Plasma File Watcher widget to do this, but I added another background rectangle for it to the watermark file. You can see the right edge of it next to the weather info in the updated image above.]
And in my more nuttier moments I've contemplated overlaying images from The Human Clock® and/or Calendar. Pity there isn't an API. Hmmm, maybe I better stick to what I've got…
At some point I may publish the bash script and ancillary bits and pieces for other people to use if interested. Will probably need a bit of a tidy up and some guide lines for hacking written up first. Also, sometime in the next month I will be upgrading from openSUSE 11.1 to 11.2 and going from KDE3.5 to 4.3 in the process, so the script will need a small amount of attention at that point.
UPDATE: Actually, it needed a lot of attention to get working under KDE 4. One of the differences from KDE 3.5 is that you set the wallpaper for each monitor separately (even though you use it like one big desktop). Also, there are no dbus or other convenient methods to tell Plasma to use a particular image as the wallpaper.
In the end I made the following changes to the script:
Prepare the images for the left and right monitors separately, and only stitch them together at the very end if we are running KDE 3. For dual-screen wallpapers, crop the left and right parts into separate images.
It now caches the correctly resized image(s) for the wallpapers. This saves a little bit of processing and also having to figure out if it is a dual-screen wallpaper if we have already seen the image before. (Each time the script starts it'll clear the cache of files older than two days, just to help with clearing out stale files - really the overhead of this part of the processing is pretty small.)
Do all the watermarking and textual processing on the right image only.
Finally, once the images are ready, move them to their final folder location – effectively being close to an atomic operation. I'll explain why that is important below.
The bugbear though is, once I've got these images ready, how do I set the desktop in KDE 4? I've lodged a bug report for a dbus command to be added to allow you to do this, but in the meantime I'm using a plasma plugin that can run a script on a specified time interval for each monitor, and set the wallpaper to whatever image path the script returns.
At the moment, I just pointed them to simple one-liner scripts that return the paths where by background manager script places the prepared files, and does this every 30 seconds. This is why I need the final operation to be fairly atomic - moving the completed file into place - rather than say having the output of the last ImageMagick operation write to the final location. The desktop could try and read the file while it is still being written - this way the chances of that happening are minimised.

Growing pains are temporary pains of the limbs in children. They often occur in the afternoon, evening, or shortly after going to sleep. These pains usually last 30 minutes to 2 hours. These pains are not associated with serious or dangerous conditions.
Growing pains are not actually associated with growth. The pain may develop for no reason or after periods of excessive physical activity, such as running, jumping, and climbing. It may also be the result of:
- Lower pain threshold
- Decreased bone strength
- Hypermobility syndrome—the joint is looser than it should be
Risk Factors
Growing pains are most common in children aged 4-14 years. It occurs equally in boys and girls.
Factors that may increase the risk of growing pains include:
- A family history of growing pains
- Emotional or family stress
- Personal or family history of migraines
- Family history of restless legs syndrome (RLS)
Rapid growth has not been proven to be a risk factor for growing pains.
Growing pains often occur in the front of the thighs, calves, or behind the knees but may also occur in the upper limbs. The pain will come and go and does not occur every day. Pain that occurs in the evening may awaken a child from sleep.
Growing pain does not happen in the morning and does not occur constantly.
You will be asked about your child's pain and any other symptoms, as well as medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Growing pains may be suspected based on your description. No further testing is needed.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for your child. Growing pains will pass on their own. Over time, the pains will become less painful and eventually will stop happening all together.
During an episode, some basic home care can help decrease discomfort, such as:
- Massage
- Stretching
- Applying heat to the area
- Over the counter pain medications, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen

I've been keeping busy with a couple sewing projects lately. I was hired to sew a skirt for a friend of mine so she would have something to wear to her brother's wedding and since I was already at Joanne's helping her pick out the pattern and fabric I decided, "why not get something for me too." So that is where it all started. I swear I get stuck in that store every time I go in, and I always get more than what I intended to. But to justify my purchases; I plan on making a dress for Kiera and a matching skirt for myself for Easter. So in reality, I am just planning ahead right? Ha ha.
I am just about finished with this one. I just have to finish the top edge and it will be done. But I just thought it was too cute not to take a picture of it now. I made the belt reversible so I could wear it with some of my other skirts too.

Monday night, and an ad emblazoned on a London bus grabs my attention: "Direct flights from London to Washington DC, Toronto and New York from just £129."
The problem? These flights can no longer be booked because less than an hour ago, the Danish-registered airline advertising them, Primera Air, announced it was entering administration.
The timing of Primera's failure this week was noteworthy for many reasons. Firstly, it occurred a year to the day since Monarch's collapse and, like its predecessor, during the Conservative Party conference.
Thankfully for prime minister Theresa May, there were considerably fewer Brits stranded abroad this time around. But the message for affected consumers this week was blunt: passengers were urged to contact their travel agent or sort their own way home if they booked direct.
Most agents contacted by TTG in Essex and Birmingham, from where Primera flew, admitted they were wary of selling the carrier – those that did sold the flights as packages and were covered by Atol.
It means, as with Monarch, the majority of Primera's stranded passengers are likely to be on flight-only bookings and will have zero protection (unless they are covered by their travel insurance or credit card) to fund their journey home.
Which is why the timing of Primera's collapse raises a second point of interest. In just a few months, the government is due to publish the findings of its Airline Insolvency Review, launched earlier this year.
It was the failure of Monarch' – and the government's subsequent £60 million repatriation programme which brought home all 110,000 passengers, regardless of whether they had Atol protection or not – which prompted the review and, crucially, raised the question of whether airlines should be forced to adhere to a protection scheme covering flight-only bookings equitable with that enjoyed by package holidays.
Primera's collapse is surely evidence of why change needs to happen – and soon.

The Indo-Russian Collection
The jewelry of Imperial Russia, one of the few inspirations Munnu took directly from the jewelry world, gave birth to the Indo-Russian collection. The signature alloy of gold and silver allows for elaborate jali-work and gives an antiqued look to these pieces. Diamonds are typically rose cut and foil-backed, which are both very old techniques used to obtain the maximum luster of the stones. The Indo-Russian collection pieces become almost magical twinkling in candlelight.

Article Contents
Linux application support on Chromebooks is pretty great. Even though the feature is primarily aimed at developers, like those who want to get Android Studio running on a Pixelbook, there are plenty of apps that can benefit normal users. We already have a guide about installing Linux apps on Chrome OS, but if you're not sure which apps to try out, we have a few suggestions here.
This isn't a simple compilation of the best Linux apps, because plenty of those exist already. Instead, the goal here is to recommend solutions for tasks that cannot be adequately filled by web or Android apps. For example, serious photo editing isn't really possible through the web, and options on the Play Store are limited, but Gimp is perfect for it.
This guide assumes you have already set up the Linux container on Chrome OS. If you haven't, follow the instructions here.
For years, one of the main arguments against Chrome OS has been the lack of a professional-level photo editor like Photoshop. While you can try to install Photoshop through CrossOver for Chrome OS, there's something that will work much better — GIMP (GNU Image Manuplation Program).
GIMP is undoubtedly one of the best free image editors available, and certainly the best one for Linux. Just like with Photoshop, there is a learning curve, but GIMP is an incredibly powerful tool. You can use multiple image layers, draw with various brushes (including with a stylus, if your Chromebook has one), blur parts of an image, and much more. GIMP can open and save many different types of files, including XCF, JPEG, PNG, PSD, WebP, BMP, and others.
How to install
The version of GIMP in the Debian software repository is several major versions behind (v2.8, at the time of writing), so it's best to download the Flatpak release. If you don't already have Flatpak set up, run this command in the Terminal:
sudo apt install -y flatpak
Then run this command to download and install Gimp:
sudo flatpak install https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/org.gimp.GIMP.flatpakref -y
Once it's done downloading, Gimp will appear in the Chrome OS app drawer. To access files from the 'Linux apps' folder in Chrome OS, go to File > Open (or press CTRL-O), and click the folder on the left that corresponds to your Google account name.
Google Docs and Microsoft Office Online are definitely the easiest ways to edit documents on a Chromebook, but they can't open every file format. They also have limited functionality offline, and require uploading each file you want to work on.
LibreOffice is an open-source office suite that works on a variety of desktop platforms. It includes a word processor (Write), a spreadsheet program (Calc), a presentation editor (Impress), and a vector graphics editor (Draw).
LibreOffice supports a massive amount of file formats, including documents from Microsoft Office, WordPerfect, WPS Office, StarWriter, Apple Pages/Keynote/Numbers, and others.
How to install
LibreOffice can be installed with this Terminal command:
sudo apt install -y libreoffice libreoffice-gtk3
This installs two packages — LibreOffice itself, and the plugin that makes LibreOffice fit in with the Chrome OS Linux theme. Once the packages are done installing, multiple LibreOffice apps will appear in the Chrome OS app drawer.
WPS Office
LibreOffice is my personal favorite choice of office software on Linux, but there's another popular option that works great on Chromebooks: WPS Office. WPS is developed by Zhuhai-based Chinese software developer Kingsoft, and it looks and operates very similarly to newer versions of Microsoft Office. It comes with a word processor, a presentation editor, a spreadsheet program, and a PDF editor.
WPS can't open as many document formats as LibreOffice, but it can handle Microsoft Office files. The Linux version is community-developed.
How to install
Go to the WPS Office Community downloads page and click on the .deb link under the latest release. After the download completes, open the Downloads folder in the Chrome Files app, and double-click on the .deb file to install it. WPS Writer, WPS Presentation, WPS PDF, and WPS Spreadsheets will appear in the Chrome OS app drawer.
Visual Studio Code
Visual Studio Code is my personal favorite code editor. It has a ton of great features, including auto-complete for popular languages, debugging, an integrated Terminal, support for Git (review diffs, stage files, etc.), and more. You can add even more functionality through optional extensions and themes. New updates come out about once a month.
How to install
On the Visual Studio Code download page, click the '.deb' button. After the download completes, open the Downloads folder in the Chrome Files app, and double-click on the .deb file to install it.
Once the installation is finished, a Visual Studio Code icon will appear in the Chrome OS app drawer.
Transmission has always been my personal favorite BitTorrent client. If you need more options than what the handful of torrent clients on the Play Store can provide, Transmission is the answer. It uses very few system resources, has a wide array of options, and is very fast.
How to install
Transmission can be installed with this Terminal command:
sudo apt install -y transmission-qt
Once the package is done being installed, Transmission will appear in the Chrome OS app drawer. If you see a message about connecting to a remote or local server, just click OK.
So there you have it - the best Linux apps to try out on your Chromebook. Until Google irons out the remaining issues with GPU acceleration, games and other graphically-intensive applications aren't very usable on Chrome OS, but these apps should at least make your Chromebook a bit more powerful.
We've updated the installation instructions for each app and added WPS Office.
