Enclosure: Substance of an Address, [ca. 12 January 1802]
Substance of an Address
[ca. 12 Jan. 1802]
The time is now fully arrived when it has become expedient to decide the fate of the Museum to which Pennsylvania has given birth. It has commanded every exertion in my power for 16 years, and meeting with public approbation has certainly arrived to considerable Maturity; but from the uncertain tenure of human life it may not long continue in the same circumstances in which it has progressed, and means must be devised for its durability, perfection and Public utility. It would further be madness to dispise the interest of my family, which now calls for some permanent arrangement. It must either continue private Property or become a Public one; If private, the place where suitable encouragement is given must possess it; if Public, some of the States or the United States, may secure all the advantages of such an Institution, by an inconsiderable appropriation.
To Pennsylvania the first offerings are now tendered and the subjoined plan proposed for consideration
1st. either to encourage it as a private establishment (with a proper reference to public utility, as a school for every department of knowledge, without a single exception), of which the Museum now only form a part) and either appropriate the State-house, grant a lottery, or devise other means for the erecting of a suitable Building. or
2dly. Purchase the Museum in toto & provide for its maintenance and perfection by suitable Regulations and appropriations. And thus lay the foundation of an establishment which the wisdom and policy of all nations have encouraged.
MS (DLC: TJ Papers, 128:22145); in Peale's hand; undated; endorsed by Peale: "The substance of an Address intended to be presented to the Legeslature of Pennsyla. in 1802. by C W Peale."

NEWMARKET — This year, Jeremy Adams' Thanksgiving table will be set for 200 people.
NEWMARKET — This year, Jeremy Adams' Thanksgiving table will be set for 200 people.
Adams, owner of Jeremy's Pizzeria and Deli in downtown Newmarket, is hosting Thanksgiving dinner for anyone without a place to go for the third year in a row.
"It's just something that I always wanted to do," said Adams, who's owned his restaurant since 2005. "I'm not sure where I got the idea. But once I was in a position to do it financially and socially, I jumped on it."
Dinner will be served at the Newmarket Community Center and will include turkey and all the fixings, as well as more than 50 pies (Adams' favorite part of the meal). All of the food is prepared by volunteers, as Adams does none of the cooking. His role is to oversee and solicit donors.
"Everyone is so generous," Adams said. "My vendors (US Foods and Coca-Cola) donated the turkeys and the drinks. My produce company and bread company also made donations. And all of the Newmarket businesses donated gift certificates for the raffle."
And, unlike most 50/50 raffles, diners don't buy their raffle tickets. One of the many prizes up for grabs this year includes a free lesson towards earning a motorcycle license, courtesy of Harley-Davidson.
"There's no sense in asking people to spend money on raffle tickets," Adams explained. "The reason they're coming to the dinner is to save money, not to spend it."
For Adams, the event is a family affair. Last year his mother-in-law cooked all the turkeys, but this year each of the 15 turkeys will be prepared by one person, using her recipe. His wife, Jannel, will also do some of the cooking (despite him being a chef, she does all the cooking at home). Their two sons, 6-year-old Junior and 1-year-old Jordan, will also be involved.
The first year it was held at Riverworks Tavern, but they needed more space. So they moved it to the community center.
"It was amazing to see it last year," said Jim Hilton, the Newmarket recreation director. "All kinds of people stepped in to lend a hand; people from town, his friends and family. It was like having a giant family eating Thanksgiving dinner."
Hilton said he's impressed with Adams, especially given that he's only 25 years old.
"This event is just typical Newmarket," Hilton said. "Jeremy is another generation that's continuing the effort — if there's a need, somebody steps up to the plate. People want to make a difference. Jeremy is a nice guy; he's quiet. He's not looking for accolades. He just wants to help out."
The dinner isn't only for people in financial need, it's for anyone without a place to go for the holiday.
"We just want people to come," Adams said. "There are so many people that think they're not poor enough to attend. But it's not about being poor or rich, it's about being together."
A goal for Adams — to someday be in the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest Thanksgiving celebration.
According to Adams, everyone who attended the first year returned last year.
"I try to make it so people aren't nervous about saying they don't have a place to go," Adams said. "It's not just homeless people, it's those who are lower income, or even those who can't travel across the country to see their family for the holiday. I want everyone to come and be my family for the day."
Anyone who wants to attend the dinner can sign up by calling 659-6300, emailing firstname.lastname@example.com, or filling out a registration sheet (available at the restaurant). Volunteers, who will also served a plate, are still needed, as well as people willing to make a donation.
The dinner will be from 1 to 5 p.m. on Thanksgiving (Thursday, Nov. 22) at the community center.

We are less than 24 hours in and we've had a great start! We are able to see our trajectory compared to other top 100 greenlight games and we are doing very well comparatively. However, once our game submission comes off of the front page we are going to hit a wall and we will need all the promotion that we can get. If you all could help spread the word to get "Beneath Us" greenlit, we would very much appreciate it. We will be posting game up dates and progress throughout this process.
Thank you for all of your support!

Hey folks. LONG time since I've posted here. Been a busy, busy summer with all the cons and monthly comic. Seems like Fall and Winter is the time of year where I can settled in on those long nights and get some building and sculpting done during writing breaks. So I've been feeling that itch as of late.
For a LONG TIME now I've been wanting to do a really large ship. Something over two feet in length that dominates the table and all the other ships around it. One of those 3 masted bastards loaded when armed marines and a cargo hold filled to the brim with exotic beasts destined for the arenas and precious rare commodities. I've had this idea in my head of a ship that could be broken apart to reveal each deck. Not only that but the GM could lay each level of she ship side by side during a game so melee and action on all 3+ levels can be played out at the same time. Massive fore and aft castles… sigh. You get the idea.
Well — I finally decided to set about building such a beast. I have no detailed blue prints. Only a picture in my head. I have no time table. I just plan on attacking it and problem solving as I go during little breaks here and there and a LOT of Sunday afternoons. I've posted a few pics of my progress so far on Facebook and the interest it has generated convinced me I should do a journal on my journey and do some work-in-progress updates here.
So this is part one.
Anyone who's been reading here knows I've been using 3D printers a tool to aide in building table top terrain and items. Not as a replacement to sculpting – but as a tool. And that's exactly what I'm doing with the new ship.
Here's the keel I came up with. Almost 25″ tip to tip. With bowsprit and aft castle overhang I expect it to urpace 28″ when done.
I know, right? It's a monster. And a bit intimidating as far as tackling this project. That's my largest ship to date that I've sculpted in back.
Now the keel is printed in 3 interlocking pieces that come apart and my plan is to mold and cast the finished ship so it comes apart and can safely travel and be stowed..
I am committed to doing this ship but after seeing it on the table and realizing the material costs and time it's going to take it occurred to me I should first do another ship that falls somewhere between the two ships seen here in size as a learning piece. I'm attempting a lot of new things with this build and some of the ideas I have may or may not work (which simply means I'll have to find solutions). So a smaller ship first sounds like a good idea to me. And it's also a piece I can sell to help pay for the mold materials for the larger ship down the road.
So — I took the 25″ ship and scaled things down to 15″. A little more manageable and it should come together much quicker.
Here's the rear section of the new ship next to the 25″ version (lower right).
I haven't made much progress yet. As I right this the framework for the middle section on the 15″ keel is printing out and I just finished sculpting the floor planks on the rear section and ready to bake it. Keep in mind the plastic is just there to serve as the skeleton for the ship – none of it will show when I'm done sculpting. The vertical posts/ribs will support the second deck above it when the times comes by the way.
So there's the plan. I'll post more WIP pics and updates in the coming days/weeks as I'm able to work on it.

Mrs. Katie Baranco
Welcome to another year of preschool!!!
I am excited to be at Meridian Elementary and to have the privilege of being your child's Preschool Teacher this year. I want your child to have an exciting, fun, and successful year.
I am a third generation Idaho native and have lived all over the state. In May 2008, I graduated from the University of Idaho in Early Child Development and Special Education. This will be my 10th year teaching in the Early Childhood Special Education classroom for West Ada District, though my first year at Meridian Elementary. I am an avid reader of all different types of books. I also love outdoor activities, especially wakeboarding, waterskiing, and backpacking. In the summer, you can often find me either on the lake or in the pool teaching swimming lessons.
I have been married for 5 years and have two wonderful daughters (2 and under a year).
I believe that all children have the right and ability to be successful in the classroom. In order for all children to succeed, my classroom will be a supportive and encouraging environment. Children learn at different stages and have many different types of learning styles, and my role in the process of each child's education is to help facilitate that learning. My teaching style, curriculum, and approach will be flexible, varied, and individual in order to meet each child's needs in the classroom. It is my responsibility to provide a fun, safe, and exciting environment in order to foster students' learning. The classroom will be set up so that each child in my class can enhance their own development by being active contributors, learners, and guides to the learning process. Above all, I will provide your child with multiple learning opportunities in a safe and supportive environment.

What is Activity-Based Funding?
Activity-based funding is a method of funding health-care providers (for example, acute-care hospitals, long-term care facilities, rehabilitation facilities) for the care and services they provide.
The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) has set up an Activity-Based Funding Unit to assist Canadian health system funders as they consider activity-based funding. CIHI has technical expertise in clinical data, financial data and case mix systems, all of which are important components in the design of an activity-based funding model.

"Charity is thus a blessed act that should suffer no discouragement from something so mean as the tax code." (1)
I. Introduction
More Americans--46 million--are presently living in poverty than at any time in the past fifty years. (2) Even more disturbing, child-poverty rates have climbed to 22%, up from 16% just ten years ago. (3) As demand for social services peaks, many newly unemployed or others who have never before needed social services will turn to charities, specifically their churches, for services because they do not know about public assistance or how to obtain it. (4)
"Superstorm sandy" reminds us of how vulnerable people are to natural disasters as well as the critical role of nonprofit organizations in providing relief to disaster victims. (5) Nevertheless, whether our hardships are from natural or economic disasters, what is most evident is the crucial need for the services of the charitable sector to help those who are suffering.
Despite America's unparalleled modern economic hardship, President Obama has proposed reducing tax relief for wealthy taxpayers who donate to charity. (6) To the extent these changes could deter charitable giving, the government could unwittingly undermine the nonprofit safety net that insulates the government from being the only provider for the impoverished. (7)
The charitable donation deduction is different from other personal deductions because the beneficiaries include not only the donor, but also the charitable organizations and especially those they serve. Therefore, it should not just be lumped in with restrictions on other itemized deductions. Instead, consequences of a cap on deductions to the charitable sector must be intrinsic to any discussions impacting donations to the charitable sector so that our national leaders do not make ill-advised decisions, especially in the face of a struggling economy and peaking demands for charitable assistance.
This Article considers several rationales for allowing charitable donations and analyzes the potential consequences of implementing President Obama's budget proposal. America's largest donors are those in the highest marginal tax brackets; thus, efforts to limit the deductibility of their charitable donations could have a chilling effect on charitable giving. (8) This could be especially troublesome in our recent down economy, at a time when donations overall have dropped due to the recession and have never recovered. …

Delighted to announce we have persuaded the wonderful Tom Oliver of Oliver's Cider to join us for a night of the world's best cider, right here in sunny Peckham.
If you're not familiar with Tom's work, he can be summed up in three words: World's Greatest Cidermaker. He'll hate that, of course, being a man of modest ways, but we're really not exaggerating. Tom is hailed as a cider hero across the globe and as well as making jaw-droppingly good cider at his farm in Herefordshire has collaborated with some of the world's most inventive cidermakers and breweries to truly push the boundaries of tasty beverages.
Tom is gathering together some of his favourite ciders - his own and from his favourite producers - for a Cider Salon like no other. Tom's been part of the HB&B story since we first invited him over one rainy Sunday in March 2015 - we always love having him back and this is certain to be one of our best events of the year.
Tickets are just £15 plus booking fee. Please arrive at 7.30pm for a drink in the sun before we kick off closer to 8.

Now she is back in Rio and decided to keep spreading joy and kindness around there too. Inspired by the flowers make me happy, today she left 10 flowers on random cars with a cute note that said: "This is for you, even though I don't know you. Let's spread Kindness!".

Who knew Katie Holmes could rock a bold, red lip so beautifully?
The actress, 34, puts Us in the holiday spirit as the face of Bobbi Brown's Old Hollywood collection campaign. Dressed in a festive, red, lace cutout dress by Fabiola Arias, Tom Cruise's ex looks fierce and flawless in the retro-styled holiday ad campaign.
Holmes, who is usually spotted wearing minimal makeup while running errands in Manhattan (where the actress lives with daughter Suri, 7), completely transforms in the holiday ad campaign. The Romantics leading lady looks exceptionally stunning with a bold, retro rouge hue swiped across her lips, her shiny brunette locks tumbling in large waves, as she gives a fierce stare in to the camera lens with her hands on hips.
Holmes, who has her own clothing line Holmes & Yang, recently expanded her contract with Bobbi Brown by debuting a cosmetic collaboration with the beauty brand, called Bobbi & Katie. (She has been a brand ambassador for the company since 2012.)
These days, the Dawson's Creek alum is currently filming The Giver in South Africa alongside Taylor Swift, Meryl Streep, Jeff Bridges, and Alexander Skarsgard. Relatively new to Twitter (Holmes joined on Oct. 25), She has been sharing photos and tweets from the set.

So much for building smaller pieces.
This 9′ beauty was sanded, sealed, and then attached to a base I made from walnut bed frame pieces.
Makes a great coffee table for a huge sectional or in a great room, or it's the perfect bench for a massive entryway or covered porch.
Please email me if interested! Delivery is available.

The shearling jacket tops my list of trends seen during NYFW (see my piece on trends here) for Fall 2017 and this one by The Arrivals is absolutely one of my favorite pieces. While it is a bit on the expensive side it's quite lower than the beloved Acne version spotted on every model in NYC and LA and is definitely an investment piece that you can wear for the next few years.
I love pairing the unexpected and instead of layering this bomber jacket over winter layers I decided to opt for this springy dress by Parker New York. Since I was already playing with patterns and textures, I added these polka dot tights for a bit more texture for this look. I love how it paired together making this one of my favorite looks during NYFW.
Get the look: Jacket: The arrivals: c/o shopstyle social house, Dress: Parker New York c/o shopstyle social house
Pair any of these fabulous dresses by Parker New York under one of these shearlings or even under a leather bomber for spring:

Announced last year, Sony has chosen to display some of their prepared gameplay for their new title, Days Gone.
With not much being said in regards to the post-apocalyptic title, it is exciting to see the vision come to life.
The gameplay mechanics displayed seemed to resemble those of other classic games (to name one, the binocular section had a strong resemblance to Resident Evil 4's approach to the first encounter with the enemies). The game appears quite similar to The Last of Us, displaying mechanics in regards to stealth and focusing that give of familiar vibes, however, it should be known that the game maintains originality. We were also shown a human threat alongside the already present threat of hordes of the supposedly undead.
There also seems to be a strong emphasis on alternate approaches to solving problems, such as setting off explosives to attract zombies or to distract the enemies.
As for the in-game graphics, when the gameplay switched to in-game footage viewers seemed blown away- some even bowing.
It seems that Days Gone is going to be a huge release for Sony, and we are certainly excited to get our hands on the title.

- TITLE: Bob You'll Fail
By Ken Ebright
Dinner was on the table, he sat down, Judy, his wife joined him.
"Honey, I've got a big announcement. I put in my two weeks notice at the school district, and bought a Pizza Factory franchise."
Judy clenched her jaw. "You what?"
Bob's face glowed. "Honey, I wanted to surprise you."
"Bob, this is a major decision. What about your pension?"
"Judy, calm down!"
Judy stared at Bob. "What do you know about making pizzas?"
Bob picked up his fork and started to eat his salad. "If you give me a chance, I'll explain."
Judy picked up a knife to put butter on her roll, then threw it down on the table. "Where did you get the money?"
"From our savings account."
Judy's eyes rolled. "Why, did you do this? Again what's the explanation?"
Bob cut his steak with his knife. "I've always wanted to be my own boss. You know I am a good cook. I rented a retail location across from the high school. We'll get a boatload of business. Kids like pizza and like going out to eat after the big game. I 'm a well liked teacher, my reputation will bring the bucks in."
"This will fail big time!"
"The Pizza Factory Corporation helps the franchises get up and running. They help to pay, at first, for advertising. They will also pay for one of those search lights to be out in front of the restaurant. We're going to be okay, trust me." Bob bit into his steak.
Two years later, Bob walked into the house. He was about to flip on a light switch when he noticed the candles on the table, along with the white table cloth, the cloth napkins and the smell of roasted duck. There was also music playing in the background.
His wife walked into the dining area. "Surprise."
"Honey, I don't know what to say."
Bob's mouth dropped open.
Judy smiled and batted her eyes. "You don't have to say anything."
"What's the occasion?"
"This is a victory celebration."
Bob's eyes rolled. "For what?"
"You've been a successful business owner for two years. I also wanted to say I'm sorry for not
trusting you."
"I love you Judy." The two of them embraced.

Working with the Security division of Arrow ECS we were briefed to create concepts for a multi-vendor cloud security event in London. With the venue set as The Shangri-La at The Shard, the tallest building in western Europe, "The Sky's the Limit" concept was born.
The campaign encompassed landing pages within The Hub, event promotion via social media, event branding and set up, including roller banners, branded balloons, branded GPS trackers, interactive presentation media, an event brochure and a series of 5 post-event social media shorts. The finishing campaign touch is our "balloon-ometer" (patent pending) tracking where the event balloons have been found and tagged in via social media. You can join the conversation at #cloudsecurity #arrowsecurityinthecloud #arrowskysthelimit

To our fortune and shock, we have been enjoying an identical solitude to Beckey and Chouinard. Climbing in Ouray is probably the most accessible venue for technical ice climbing in the Lower 48. The Ouray Ice Park provides a full spectrum of challenges for those first-timers exploring the game to the seasoned annual ice climber. The Forrest mountain bike trails are a tremendous collection of trails within the sleepy city of Forrest, 2 hours south west of Melbourne, near the Otway National Park. The handlebars of a mountain bike are flat, usually as vast as the rider's shoulders.
Today's mountain retreat is extra of a calming jaunt into wooded areas with a way more, dare we are saying, 'posh' feel to the entire experience. Horseback Riding – If there have been ever a more old-school method of checking out an previous-faculty mountain space, you would be exhausting-pressed to beat horseback driving. The Mountain Leader scheme affords the opportunity to achieve technical competence in main walkers in the hills and mountains. Plus, the high-pace Comet Quad Lift is spinning to get you again to the top so you can crush the mountain time and again!
When shopping for a bike you must pay particular consideration to the trigger shifters and the grip which are important operative options to help you regulate to the continuously changing terrain circumstances of a mountain. The Forrest trails have been expertly designed to offered every little thing that the mountain bike trail rider is in search of – lengthy, flowing singletrack, challenging technical obstacles, assured to test you, leaving you wanting more. The tantalizing views that surrounds mountain prime creates a feeling the hiker has lastly conquered the world.
Mountain communities, nevertheless, have a wealth of knowledge and techniques amassed over generations, on how you can adapt to local weather variability. The winter setting of the San Juan Mountains and small town mountain culture of Ouray make this the proper trip spot to explore the game of mountaineering. Detailed information on every of the above matters may be discovered within the Mountain Leader Handbook and the onus is on you to be competent in all of them by the point you come to evaluation. Bruneck Castle within the Puster Valley homes a fifth museum devoted to the subject of mountain peoples.
One of the good things about South Mountain Park – in addition to its sheer dimension, straightforward accessibility and wonderfully diverse terrain – is its system of interconnected trails, which permits hikers to tailor treks to swimsuit their fancies, in addition to health levels. They look at the mountain and determine that, as a result of they aren't half means up it already, it's too far to climb. Everest, though not probably the most technically demanding mountain to climb, is one of the hardest as a result of its excessive altitude.

Q. I need a piece of furniture but I'm unsure of the design/materials/sizes can you help?
Yes. makimaki will discuss your requirements, style & intended use of the piece & make a recommendation. A 3D design service is also available free of charge so you can see your design & tweak it until you're 100% happy.
A helpful dining tbale size guide can be found here.
Q. Do you make commerical furniture?
Absolutely. We work with interior designers, architects, shopfitters & direct customers in the hospitatilty industry.
Q. What is veneer vs solid timber?
Veneer is a thin layer of timber on a substrate like plywood or mdf. It's very stable & suitable for some pieces, such as tv units, cabinetry, drawer & door fronts. It's cheaper than solid timber & available in a variety of species. Solid timber is as it sounds & has an inherent quality & durability. It's more expensive but better suited to higher use items like dining tables. It also has the ability to be refinished more easily.
Q. What is your lead time?
This varies with each job & the current workload. In most cases, 8-12 weeks can be expected.
Q. What finish is the best for my piece of furniture?
There are lots of options when it comes to finish choice. After years of experience we have settled on a few tried & true finishes that offer great protection, are easy to clean & keep your piece looking its best.
2 pack Polyurethane: A very hard wearing, maintenance free finish in 3 gloss levels - matte, satin & semi gloss or 10%, 30% & 60%. Particularly good for high impact use like dining tables & wet areas like timber vanities.
Single pack Polyurethane: A hard wearing, maintenance free finish in 3 gloss levels - matte, satin & semi gloss or 10%, 30% & 60%. Suitable for items that see little or no high impact use like tv units, desks, bedroom furniture.
Osmo Hardwax Oil: A natural blend of oils & waxes that offers good protection but requires some maintenance. The benefit is that it can be spot repaired.
Oil: We typically use oils on our outdoor pieces. They require semi regular maintenance when in exposed conditions.
Q. What are your payment terms?
We require a 50% deposit with the remainder due on delivery.
Q. Do you deliver Australia wide?
Yes. We send our furniture Australia wide.
Q. Do you deliver internationally?
Yes, though not every item is suitable to ship & it's best to discuss this up front.
Q. How much can I expect to pay?
The price of each item is influenced by a number of factors:
• Materials
• Design
• Volume
• Labour Intensity
The added benefits of custom design, high quality materials, expert craftsmanship & locally made from sustainable materials are what makes makimaki furniture a great value investment.
In most cases a quick description of your custom piece is enough to provide a ballpark estimate, before progressing to a formal quote.

Protect yourself from fraudulent opportunities and scams by exercising caution and good judgment. UNL Career Services carefully screens employers and positions posted in Husker Hire Link, but job seekers must use common sense when responding to employers.
Possible Signs of a Fraudulent Employer
- Watch for anonymity; if it is difficult to find an address, contact, or employer name then proceed with caution.
- The organization website doesn't link to the right organization or has limited information.
- When you search the employer's phone or email, they do not appear connected to an actual organization.
- When you search the organization and "scam" (i.e. Acme Company Scam), the results show several scam reports.
- The contact email address is not a primary domain or doesn't match the organization (i.e., firstname.lastname@example.com rather than email@example.com)
- The employer contacts you by phone, however there is no way to call them back.
- The employer says they do not have an office in your area and need you to get it established (these postings often include a request for your banking information, supposedly to help the employer make transactions).
- The employer requests personal information such as a photo, social security number, driver's license, or financial information.
- The employer offers you a job without meeting or interacting with you.
Possible Signs of a Fraudulent Opportunity
- The posting includes spelling and grammatical errors.
- The opportunity focuses on money to be made or indicates a compensation higher than the average compensation for that position type, often for very little work.
- You must provide credit card or bank account numbers, or other personal financial documentation.
- The position requires an initial investment, such as a payment by wire service or courier.
- The position offers a large payment in exchange for allowing the use of your bank account or offers to send you a check before you do any work.
Next Steps
If you encounter questionable postings in Husker Hire Link or other online sites:
- End all communication with the employer.
- Monitor your accounts if personal information was disclosed.
- If you have sent money to the employer, contact your bank or credit card company to close your account and dispute any charges.
- Report the fraud or scam to UNL Career Services. We can help you determine if you also need to alert the police.

Frequently Asked Questions
Remy vs. Non-Remy
Remy means the hair cuticle is still intact and all of the hair flows in the same direction. Remy hair is wefted in the same direction that it grows from the donor. Hair closest to the weft, is the hair closest to the root. Because Magic Hair Company hair flows in the same natural direction that it comes from donors, it prevents tangling of the hair.
Non-Remy hair is hair that is sewn on a weft in a unnatural direction Example when hair is being cut from donor it drops to the ground and then is randomly picked up and then sewn on a weft.
What does "Virgin" mean?
Virgin hair is still in its natural God given state. Virgin hair has never been dyed. permed, relaxed, or hasn't had any other chemical treatment.
Can virgin hair be dyed or cut?

How many oz. will I need?
Typically for any weave you will need a minimum of 8oz. of hair. For lengths of 20″ and up 12oz. of hair is recommended to maintain a fuller look.
Why does Magic Hair Company only offer hair that is natural black and natural brown?
Natural Black and Natural Brown are the natural shades that our donors grow the hair. We do not change or alter the color or texture in any way. Because these are natural colors of hair, it will blend very naturally with your own hair and doesn't need to be exact.
Where does the hair come from?
Each bundle of hair is hand selected from Indian temples. During the hand selection process, Magic Hair Company only selects the healthiest, lustrous, and length consistence bundles. Also during the wefting process most short hairs and greys are discarded to maintain long thick bundles of hair. Before you receive you Magic Hair Company hair, has been sanitized, washed, and deep conditioned.
What do you do if your hair feels dry?
If you notice your hair is starting to get dry deep condition it and bring it back to life. This is more common in a curlier hair texture. Deep conditioning also prevents dryness and breakage. Remember the better you take care of your hair the longer it will last.

Scottish Cup: Gretna march on, Deveronvale glory
Last year's surprise finalists Gretna powered into the last 16 of the Tennent's Scottish Cup and were joined by Highland League side Deveronvale.
Goals from David Graham, Eric Paarpalu and Colin McMenamin carried Gretna, who are closing in on a place in next season's Bank of Scotland Premier League, to a 3-0 win at First Division rivals Clyde.
Deveronvale were too strong for Third Division strugglers Elgin, who are at the foot of the league, but after leading 4-0 and 5-2 they were clinging on at the end.
Their 5-4 win came despite a hat-trick for Elgin striker Martin Johnston.
Deveronvale's goals came from captain Mark Chisholm, Ian Murray, Mark Smith, Mike McKenzie and Graeme Watt.
Dundee, cup winners in 1910, were held 1-1 at home by Queen of the South in an all-First Division clash.
Derek Lyle opened the scoring with a headed goal in the 38th minute at Dens Park, but Queen of the South equalised just before half-time through a superb Sean O'Connor strike.
St Johnstone were held to a goalless stalemate at home against Ayr in another tie which will require a replay.
Cowdenbeath and Brechin must also try again following a 1-1 draw.
Livingston overcame First Division mid-table rivals Hamilton 4-2 at New Douglas Park.
Highly-rated 16-year-old James McCarthy scored his first goal for Hamilton, but they were overwhelmed by the visitors for whom Steven Tweed, Joe Hamill and Graham Dorrans, who netted twice, were on target.
Defender John Robertson came back to haunt his old club with the only goal as Partick won 1-0 at Ross County. The former Ross player headed the winner after 15 minutes.

I have a number of friends who are afraid to pray. They're afraid of what God might call them to do, and rightfully so.
In prayer, we experience God's love. In our response, we humbly return that love. And, if we have ears to hear, God always pushes us to go deeper. He says, "I love you, Jurell. Now, these are your brothers and sisters—go and love them as I love you."
Jesus' life shows us that prayer always extends to our neighbor; it pushes us to notice the divine spark in all of God's children, to show love without reservation. It is this love that bears much fruit for the Kingdom.

If you are fortunate enough to enjoy some financial stability, then you may have friends or family members who look to you for financial assistance. While one may choose to give advice or money to someone in need, you should consider co-signing a loan for another person only with extreme caution.
It is an entirely separate issue when you buy a home or vehicle with a spouse in joint ownership (often referred to as "joint tenancy"). But when co-signing a loan with anyone else - even a child or parent - you should be aware of the serious financial ramifications that come with placing your name on the dotted line.
Co-signing a loan takes on the same significance as if the loan is for yourself. Many good Samaritans do not realize that co-signing places the full financial responsibility on them for that obligation. Regardless of who actually enjoys the use of the property and who is "supposed" to make the payments, the co-signer is on the hook for all of it.
If the primary borrower (the person on whose behalf you co-signed the loan) fails to make the payments in a timely manner or in full, the bank will pursue the person that has the better ability to pay. Unfortunately, that person probably is you.
The first response from the co-signer may be, "Why are they coming after me? What about the other person?" Most people naively assume that the lender will first exhaust all means necessary to obtain the money from the primary borrower. However, the co-signer often does not take the time to actually read the contract until the lender comes knocking. The fine print typically calls for the co-signor to allow the lender to choose whom they want to pursue. If the lending institution has a better chance of getting the money from you, then it may not waste time on a delinquent primary borrower.
Before you ever agree to co-sign a loan, it is imperative for you to understand that you signed a binding legal contract, which holds you responsible for the entire debt obligation. The contract often is a standard form that has been scrutinized time and time again, and thus will survive any challenge to its enforceability.
If the primary borrower does not pay, the outstanding debt first is reported on your own credit report. Next, the usual step is that a collection agency will seek to collect the entire debt from you, rather than the primary borrower, through harassing calls and mail.
You will find yourself the target of a lawsuit if you do not settle with the collection agency or the lender opts not to use a collection agency. If the amount owed is relatively low - usually less then $5,000 - it may be pursued by the lender through small claims court. Since you voluntarily co-signed the loan, you likely will lose the case and the court will order a judgment in the amount of the loan plus interest, legal fees and court costs. You will be required to disclose your assets and, in extreme cases, you could even lose your home.
If the person with whom you co-signed the loan makes timely payments and is on track to satisfy the debt, then everything is fine - right? Not necessarily. For example, a bank may turn you down if you apply for a loan due to the financial liability you owe as a co-signor. Because of your high debt obligations, including those as a co-signer, the bank will consider you an excessive "risk."
Caveat emptor is a well-known Latin phrase meaning, "Let the buyer beware." When it comes to co-signing a loan, the best advice may be very simple: "Run!"

Letting people show up in your life the way they are meant to with an open heart allows for some of the best surprises that you couldn't even imagine. When I used to meet people (about four years ago), first impressions were important to me since I haven't been the kind of person in the past to have a lot of acquaintances. Deep, meaningful connections with a medium to smaller group of friends was what made me more comfortable at the time. Therefore, I was used to making judgements about whether this person I just would be someone I wound up being really close to (now it is clear to me this makes no sense). However, how much can you really know about your potential relationship and journey with someone by just meeting them once?
There was one time I met a woman and she was extroverted, had a huge presence, bubbly and I was the complete opposite. I was very introverted and much more quiet at the time. June* was perfectly nice I just never saw us being close because on the outside our personalities didn't mesh very well. In the past I would naturally gravitate towards people who were introverted so that they would understand when I would need time alone to recharge without taking it personally. However, there was a part of me (that I of course ignored because at the time I was not in tune with my inner voice) that wanted to get to know her. But I never did.
So in the first three years I knew June, we were never close. We were in the same larger group of friends and crossed paths a lot but I didn't know her very well. I never made the effort to get to know her better because in my mind she seemed to be someone I already knew I wouldn't vibe as well with.
Today this woman is one of my closest friends. June is one of the funniest, loving, most genuine, all around amazing people I know. What is so incredible is that we have only really been close for about five months. So what changed?
In my last year of college I was sexually assaulted and it happened with someone who was in one of my major groups of friends. I had people I could talk about it with but it was weird for me to continue with that group of friends like nothing had happened and no one knew. But I needed to talk about it with someone who knew him and a bit more about the situation so I could process it. I was sitting in my bedroom where it happened thinking, "who could I tell (in this group) that would understand me in one of the most confusing times in my life" and instantly I just received two names, one of them was June.
It didn't make any sense. I hadn't told her anything like this before. There seemed to be no logical reason why June would be perfect or how it would work. This was the same feeling when I met her years ago. I wasn't going to ignore it now. I instantly texted her everything that happened and as you may be able to guess she was so understanding, supportive and loving. In a time when I felt like I was going invisibly crazy June made me feel seen and loved. I cannot ever thank her enough for it.
This is so significant to me because this also happened with May* (just realized they are both named after months but that was not on purpose). May was someone I met about three years ago and for the first two of them we weren't super close or anything. She was someone that I didn't instantly click with, was someone I wanted to get to know, but in my head it seemed like our personalities didn't "click". Like June, I wanted to get to know May but on the outside it didn't seem like it would happen. Long story short, May was the other person I told. I love May so much. She is one of the strongest, most wonderful, loving, beautiful people I know and I am incredibly lucky to have her as a friend. I found it crazy that the two people I thought on the surface wouldn't be such a huge part of my life are now today. With both of them my inner voice told me to get to know them, but at the time I ignored it.
I ignored my inner voice because I just couldn't see how it would work. We aren't always, or maybe ever, meant to see how every little thing is going to work in our lives. I did have a feeling with both of them that I wanted to get to know them and I didn't follow through for at least two years with the both of them. Now May and June are two of my closest friends out of school. I care about them so deeply. It would have been wonderful to have gotten to spend more time with them if I just trusted my gut. However, I am a big believer that things work out exactly the way they are meant to.
If I had just let go of what my preconceived notions of what friendships were, what kinds of friends I wanted, what their personalities had to be etc. who knows what would have happened. In other words, if I just held space for them with an open heart, said, "Universe, I don't know how they are supposed to show up but I do have a feeling we are meant to be a part of each others lives, so I am open and receiving to whatever you have for me" and then just allowed them to show up as their authentic selves without me judging any part of them or the experience, who knows what would have happened. (By the way, judging doesn't always have to be negative it could just be that you have your own ideas about what the person or experience with them will be like without getting to know them.) I certainly don't and what could have happened isn't the point.
May and June are an incredible lesson for me to just have some trust and to not judge anyone or any experience that appears in my life. Everything has a beautiful ending. You may not see the directions to get to the top of the mountain but the top of the mountain does exist. You may receive about 500 ft of instructions at a time and that is cool too. You just don't need to have the full picture for everything to work out. If you ever have a gut feeling about something, it is probably "right" (air quotes because you really can't go wrong". Just see where it goes.
with love, katie
Ps. May and June I am forever grateful you are in my life 🙂

Routines and systems promote consistency, efficiency, and focus. For example, if you start each work day with a routine that includes your most important and urgent priorities, you will start the day with clarity and direction. If not, it may take a while to get down to work because you don't know where to start.
Routines promote peace and security, whether at work or at home. When everyone knows what to expect, it provides a sense of well-being. If activities and schedules are erratic and unpredictable, there is a higher sense of stress because of the unknown.
For example, when a child has a nightly bedtime routine, it becomes familiar and prepares him for bedtime. It is known and expected - he knows that after he takes a bath, brushes his teeth, has a story and cuddle time, it's time to go to bed. Consistency is comforting.
You may have several areas where a routine or system might improve your efficiency. The following steps can help you create productive systems:
1. List areas in your work life and home life that would be enhanced by creating intentional routines or systems.
2. Write down the steps for each routine.
3. Evaluate each system for efficiency.
4. If appropriate, delegate the system.
By creating systems, your routine becomes habit, resulting in consistency, efficiency and a sense of well-being.
Do you have systems or routines that work for you? Please share!

How nanorough is rough enough to make a surface superhydrophobic during water condensation?
Nanostructured surfaces which manifest superhydrophobic properties during water condensation have a potential to dramatically enhance energy efficiency in power generation and desalination systems. Although various such surfaces have been reported, their development has been fortuitous, not driven by an understanding of the underlying physical processes. In this work, we perform a comprehensive study of microscale water condensation dynamics on nanostructured superhydrophobic surfaces made using a variety of synthetic methods. We demonstrate that the growth mechanism of individual

Senator Lee's Field Hearing is One-sided, PLI leaves Bears Ears vulnerable
Utah Diné Bikéyah doubtful that hearing will provide respectful forum for discussion about Bears Ears
Published July 27, 2016
BLANDING, UTAH – Today, Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) is holding a field hearing of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee in Blanding, Utah ostensibly on the Utah Public Lands Initiative (PLI) and national monument designations.
"These meetings have repeatedly proven uncomfortable for Native leaders to attend because of the levels of disrespect and disregard for traditional viewpoints," stated former San Juan County Commissioner and Utah Diné Bikéyah board member Mark Maryboy. "The intimidation and misinformation tactics currently being used by Blanding residents against Native American supporters of a Bears Ears National Monument is astounding as was on display on July 16th with the "booing" of the Navajo Nation President by Commissioner Benally and her supporters."
Utah Diné Bikéyah, a Utah-based Native American grassroots organization, has been working with San Juan County for several years to develop a proposal to protect Bears Ears in a manner that will benefit today's Native Americans and all future generations. In 2014, San Juan County opened a comment period on local public land preferences. Even though the County refused to include the Bears Ears proposal in its list of official alternatives, the Tribal proposal received 64% of all county comments of support.
"Since February, we have engaged approximately 7,000 Native American grassroots people who live adjacent to Bears Ears, and more than 1,300 local Native Americans have taken the time to write President Obama a postcard or letter asking him to use the Antiquities Act to protect our ancestral lands and preserve our living traditions," said Cynthia Wilson, Utah Diné Bikéyah's Community Outreach Coordinator. "The PLI has left Native voices out of the process and leaves critical sacred sites such as the confluence of the San Juan and Colorado Rivers and White Canyon unprotected and vulnerable."
The Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition has since taken the lead and is working in good faith to protect Native American traditional uses through a Bears Ears National Monument. The national monument would guarantee that Native Americans will have full access to the Monument lands for gathering firewood and herbs, conducting ceremonies, hunting and recreation.
"Supporters of a Bears Ears National Monument came out two to one in at last week's public meeting with Interior Secretary Sally Jewell," stated Willie Grayeyes, Chairman of Utah Diné Bikéyah. "It is clear that Native Americans in Utah and around the region strongly support the national monument. A misinformation campaign was launched in June to turn people against a Bears Ears National Monument by spreading lies and telling supporters to stay away due to the potential for violence. This field hearing is a thinly veiled effort to make it appear that there is more opposition than truly exists. The majority of San Juan County citizens support the Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition and urgently request President Obama to use his authority to declare a Bears Ears National Monument."

Another day, another political row about the government's free social care at home for the elderly plan. Today, it's how the plan is being funded.
While the government has been criticised for thus far being oblique about where the money will come from to fund the plan – they estimate it will cost £670 million per year, but others think it will be much higher – now they are starting to say where money will come from, they are garnering more criticism.
Health minister Andy Burnham, as reported in today's Times on the eve of the publication of the Social Care Bill, says that "£60 million would be diverted from the health service's research and development budget and £50 million from public health promotions."
Inevitably, scientists have warned against cutting research budgets. The current research budget is more than £1 billion per year, so that cut is hardly a drop in the ocean.
Research is key for the future of healthcare and should be considered an investment – having drugs that cure is cheaper than the cost of lengthy treatment – and cuts should be avoided if possible.
However, the money will have to come from somewhere – if the Bill actually gets passed before the election, which is not guaranteed – and tough decisions will have to be made about which budgets get cut. It's what we have government for; they make the hard decisions so we don't have to.
It could be that funds are found from elsewhere. For example, a productivity drive in the NHS is expected to make up to £20 billion in efficiency savings in the next 4 years, which would more than pay for the Bill.
But wherever cuts come from to fund the free personal care plan, someone is going to be left unhappy. Well, almost; nobody has criticised the plan to save £60 million by cutting down on management consultants. Strange, that.
