My God! IT LIVES!

The rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated...
Just been a little wired today. Can't say why. Started with a little lethargy, and has culminated into giddiness', but I believe the crescendo is over and I have settled into contentment. But we haven't been attacked today, so go figure. We have won some battles today as well, although I can't elaborate on those right now. Just know that they are there.
It has been getting pretty hot over here again, and I don't mean the 130+ degree temperatures. We have lost some good people over here. All friends, and some fairly close at that. You hate to see that happen. It's frustrating to be unable to do anything while I coordinate a snare as the armchair warrior. My job is terribly important, but leaves me hollow because I cannot physically participate. I feel like my hands are tied over here at times, but we make the best of it. Our base in the north by the border has been relentlessly mortared and rocketed for days now. Several rockets have hit near our base as well, although they cannot get as close to us here so they have to use larger rockets, fired from a distance of 20+km. (They are about 9 feet long and give a pretty good wallop). Fortunately for us the bad guys still can't aim! No one has been seriously injured.
Here is the bad. We lost an interpreter. His name was Moe. He was of Middle Eastern decent, but he was an American. He had a small auto-repair shop in Washington State. He was one of the nicest, most polite individuals I have ever met. He said that he was too old to join up, but his country needed him so he came to do what he could. I will miss him sorely. He was a good man. He was killed by an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) that seriously wounded another Marine. Just a few days later we had the Mujahadeen use a French made Flachette rocket. It was filled with finned nails and killed three of our Marines as they drove down the street. It also ferociously wounded two others. It's very hard not to point fingers and be angry. It's very difficult to be the good guys, let me tell you. But day in and day out we are. We make the hard decisions. Our Marines arrest people, even when they have the right to kill them under the rules of engagement. Their dedication, professionalism and discipline are unparalleled. I am honored to lead men like these, though it should be noted that they need no leadership. We are merely managers to these incredibly brave star athletes. They are good kids. They go to work day in and day out even though their spouses leave them, their family members die and their friends go on with life as if nothing is going on anywhere else in the world but back home. They are tired, hyper, cynical, religious, silly, fearsome, tempered, mean, gentle, wild, controlled, forgetful, wise, bored, intense, gifted and above all they are grudgingly proud to be here on the tip of the spear even though they constantly dream of home. And they are ever aware that they may never see it again. Yet they brave the deadly IEDs, mines, rockets, gunfire, mortars and RPGs every day.
The upper crust has been so removed that seldom do any above the regimental level have a grasp of how unique our situation is out here. We were looking for places to move this base (which we are not going to do now) and we struck a mine and destroyed a HMMWV (Humvee). An admiral wanted us to build a base there anyway! So he came out to see the place and we hit another mine there! And he got into the choppers that were circling and bolted. They didn't even wait to see if there were any casualties! Fortunately there were none, but damn! After that it was decided it was too dangerous for us to move. Well no shit! Good thing he is smart enough to make that decision, cause God knows we aren't qualified to make such a decision. Well, at least the Mujahadeen's malevolence toward us paid off that day. Remind me to thank them for planting that mine!
Then at the other end of the spectrum are General Mattis (1st Marine Division's CO) and our Col. Tucker (Regimental CO). (We are in a Battalion, one level below Regiment). Col Tucker has been attacked as much as any Marine in the AO because he is always out checking on his boys. In fact, he has even earned his purple heart out here! General Mattis has personally rewarded Marines for making the right and hard decisions all around this country. Good leadership is crucial to success out here. Or anywhere for that matter.
The food has gotten better out here. It is usually pretty bad, but every so often we get some damn good chow. People really don't understand what goes on out here. It is pretty funny to talk to people down in Al Asad (Regiment's base). They have good food, short lines for the phone and Internet, and A/C in just about every room. Their PX is huge and well stocked, mail is brought in on a regular basis and they are SO detached from the "war" it's comical. I guess it just goes to show you, somebody always has it worse. I'm sure there are those who are reading this and saying "You have it good"! And you know what? They are VERY right! It could, and has been, MUCH, MUCH, MUCH worse.
It is really good here just because I can call my wife about once a week! (Sometimes twice a week, and sometimes once every couple of weeks, but no complaints) And we have Internet access. Yeah I have to wait over an hour even at midnight, but I get to relax and read in that time so I really don't mind.
Well, I can't wait to get home and see everyone. Again, the wife and kid… and dog and ferrets and fish, have dibs on me first… for at least a couple of weeks. But after that I would love to see everyone. I know it's hard to come down to see me, but I know I'll talk you all into it when I tell you I'm going to invest in a hot tub when I get home! Knew that would work. :-)
Well, as usual, keep up the good fight on the home front and I'll do the same over here.
I'll try and keep up on the writing, but it's tough.
Simper Fi, and Fight On!
OH yeah! If you are reading this, check out Thea's web page www.journalscape.com/thea and go see her play if you are in LA. OK?

What we do
What Does Chadwell Heath Have to Offer?
Situated in the boroughs of Barking and Dagenham and Redbridge, the area known as Chadwell Heath is in the east of London, twelve miles from the traditional centre of the city. Bordering on parts of Essex as well as Romford, the area was developed into a suburban community in the years following the First World War. Those who are interested in sport might be keen to note that West Ham United's training ground is in the area, though they play their games at Upton Park. As well as this, the area has a number of local sports clubs including bowls and tennis societies. Thanks to the London location, there are a large number of public transport links which make walking into the centre of the city and beyond easier than you might expect. As well as the large number of buses, the local railway station provides access to places such as Liverpool Street, while access to the underground network is achieved thanks to the close proximity to Barking, allowing commuters and travellers to get all across the city with ease.

This refers to patterned cracks in the surface of the paint film that resemble the scales of a crocodile.
- Applying an extremely hard, rigid coating, like a solvent-based enamel, over a more flexible coating, like a water-based primer.
- Applying a topcoat before the undercoat is dry.
- The natural aging of solvent-based paints as temperatures fluctuate. The constant expansion and contraction results in a loss of paint film elasticity.
Remove the old paint completely by scraping and sanding the surface. A heat gun may be used on large surfaces to speed up the process, but take care to avoid igniting the paint or substrate.
Prime the surface with a high-quality water-based or solvent-based primer, and follow with two coats of a top-quality exterior water-based paint.

Excellent course that is jam-packed with useful material! It is quite challenging and gives a thorough grounding in how to approach the process of selecting a linear regression model for a data set.
Feb 01, 2017
It really helped me to have a better understanding of these Regression Models. However, I've noticed that there is a video recording repeated: Week 3, Model Selection. Part 3 is included in Part 2.
por Amitabh M•
Apr 11, 2020
This is the best course of the data science curriculum. The book is excellent, problem videos on YouTube teach how to answer the quizzes and pursue peer review project. The logistics regression part is weaker in the textbook as well as in lecture material. Prof. Brian Caffo is the best of the three teachers as he provides the most of the components needed either in the book or in his videos unlike others.
por Jamison C•
Aug 28, 2018
Excellent course, though I recommend you supplement applied practice by using the principal instructor, Dr. Brian Caffo's book, to answer practice questions if you want to retain these content-packed lessons. Better yet, begin each week by looking at the quiz and printing it out. As you view the relevant content, answer the related questions (which are generally presented in order of delivery).
por Richard M A•
Dec 23, 2016
This was better than the statistical inference course, but Brian still puts too much emphasis on the precision of his language (as if he's teaching to other mathematicians) which makes it difficult to understand. I would like to see a bit more dumbed down explanation of the mathematics in the examples (similar to Sal at Khan Academy). If that happened, this would definitely be a 5 star course.
por Sandesh•
Jun 25, 2019
For the content covered, I think the course does a good job exposing students to fundamental concepts while also highlighting how much more there is to research in order to gain a solid understanding of this subject matter. The course offers a good foundation, and I hope they come out with a more advanced version of this course for more guided exposure.
por Christopher B•
Mar 01, 2017
This course was an improvement in teaching modality from the statistical inference course, with more polished content, but the link between the lectures and the actual exercises was still a bit strained. Overall, it felt like there was a bit of a disconnect between the swirl exercises and the lectures, and this led to a lot of self-teaching.
por Paul R•
Mar 13, 2019
Relatively, this is one of the best courses and lecturers of the specialization, Brian delivers clear, thorough and well-paced lectures. These lectures on statistics, regression and machine learning are where the rubber hits the road after a lot of prep work to learn R and principles/tools of data science taught in earlier classes.
por Miguel C•
May 03, 2020
I really enjoyed the course. Even though I had already learned linear regression and logistic regression from a computer science perspective, I still learned a lot since the course approaches these subjects from a statistical view. The content was interesting and challenging, so I am really glad that I took this course.
por Max M•
Nov 19, 2017
Really appreciate the depth of this course, as well as the changes Prof. Caffo made in his teaching style since his Statistical Inference course. However, the reasoning behind some of the more complex topics, like GLMs, aren't adequately explained, and the Swirl lessons are presented in a strange and disorienting order.
por Cesar L•
Nov 01, 2016
Great course. The content might be improved to be more clear. I feel that sometimes the instructor assumes we are familiar with some concepts we have not seen in previous courses. Also, some times he does a very good job explaining the WHY before the HOW, and some other times he does not. Very knowledgeable instructor.
por Kevin H•
Nov 09, 2016
Something was missing from this course. I cam away with an increased understanding of regression but I still feel like I struggle with many concepts and had to put in much more time than the recommended.
Still when I found the answer it was all still contained and maybe the material itself is just advanced.
my 2c
por Jeremy J•
Nov 12, 2016
Like the way the Prof uses media. This is a very light touch on a very deep subject so it has to balance analytical work with the light "trust me and just do it" approach. The balance was mostly there although on a couple items I don't know that I had a good enough grip to know what I don't know.
por Wei W•
Oct 23, 2017
Brian did better job in this course to elaborate and demonstrate with examples. No doubt Brian is extremely knowledge about this subject. Once again, this and Statistical Inference courses are very challenging to truly completed with insightful understanding. That's why I take one star away.
por Vidya M S•
Mar 14, 2017
The concepts are well explained and precise. I think it depends on the individual to dive deeper into the topic by independent learning. Good data examples. Also following the suggested book of the author helps with some extra excercises. However , I feel extra practice questions would help .
por Linda W•
Jun 04, 2016
This course will give you a good basic foundation in regression models. However, do be prepared to do a good amount of work besides just viewing the videos. I would recommend at the very least to go through the exercises in the 'recommended textbook' to gain a better understanding.
por Kim K•
Aug 08, 2018
You will need to know the subject before taking this class in order to understand or be able to put in a large amount of time to learn. The book "Introduction to Statistical Learning" is an excellent supplement to the course. Rigorous and rewarding when you put the work in.
por Ada•
Nov 14, 2016
Regression models was almost just as difficult as statistical inference. Again, the swirls and exercises were of great help. The pace, as always, was quite fast, but in the end all the pieces fitted together. Congratulations on a job well done!
por Peter G•
Feb 10, 2016
First 3 weeks give very reasonable overview of the subject - topics of linear / polynomial / multivariate regression are covered quite well.
Week 4 is a bit sloppy and ad-hoc, comparing to first 3 weeks - GLMs are given poorly.
por Utkarsh Y•
Sep 28, 2016
It is a good course for learning regression model implementation in R. You may need to have a basic understanding of popular regression models like linear & logistic as the course doesn't cover mathematical aspects in detail
por Jim M•
Jul 23, 2020
Content is excellent and in depth. Structure could be better to present materials in a more organized fashion, particularly on how all the concepts and tools relate, and complex results interpretation.
por Andrew W•
Feb 20, 2018
Great subject, was a bit frustrated with some of the material (seemed rushed and not well prepared). Great assignment, but too restrictive on the max number of pages allowed. Wasted a lot of time.
por Diego C•
May 04, 2019
Very good course. Though basic, it provides you with the first tools and knowledge. The forums aren't what they used to be it seems, but you can find almost any answer there from past courses.
por Andrew W•
Apr 05, 2018
Very good at presenting basic concepts. I highly reccomend saving the quiz questions as a good guide as to what you should know. I wish there were more material on generalized linear models.
por Arturo M K•
Dec 10, 2016
I was hoping to learn about PROBIT models. I know they are very similar to LOGIT ones, but still... the pace is a little bit too fast and I think it requires more time than what it says.
por Bill K•
Feb 10, 2016
This was a tough class covering a lot of material. The last week on logistic regression completely lost me. If you're new to stats like me you might want to take it more than once.
por Manny R•
Mar 22, 2019
Really Fun Course. There is a lot to learn in this topic and this could be studied for a lifetime. I feel like I could apply this to discover solutions for issues at work.

Fresh off of being named Consequence Of Sound's "2015 Rookie Of The Year", rapper Vince Staples recently gave his thoughts on 'lyrical rap' and thinks boxing in MCs is what's ruining the game.
"I think that the word 'lyrical' is the most offensive thing you can say [about a rapper]," the Long Beach, California rapper says to the publication. "If the song has lyrics, it's fucking lyrical."
"2 Chainz and Plies went to college," he says. "I dropped out of high school. Are they smarter than me because of that? Am I smarter than them because of the way the music sounds? It's just not fair. We gotta stop that."
Staples later goes on to explain how Rock music influenced him.
"To me, I understand the argument of appropriation — I do feel like it happens — but we're all people at the end of the day, and we're all artists," says. "We all take from one another. If there's a piano in a blues or a jazz song, are they appropriating Beethoven? Maybe we need to remove certain things from certain conversations, but maybe we don't, and I just feel like I love the Rolling Stones, and me loving the Rolling Stones [means] I love Muddy Waters, and that's what my mother listened to. There's no difference within all of it."

Mumbai, Oct 4 (IANS) Positive global cues, coupled with healthy buying in healthcare, oil and gas and FMCG stocks, pushed the key Indian equity indices higher during the mid-afternoon trade session on Wednesday.
Index heavyweights like Sun Pharma, ITC, Power Grid, Reliance Industries and Dr. Reddy's Lab aided in the upward trajectory of the indices.
According to market observers, investors remained cautious ahead of the monetary policy review outcome of the Reserve Bank of India due later during the day.
At 12.30 p.m., the wider Nifty50 of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) rose by 53.55 points, or 0.54 per cent, to trade at 9,913.05 points.
The 30-scrip Sensitive Index (Sensex) of the BSE, which opened at 31,522.17 points, traded at 31,661.14 points — up 163.76 points, or 0.52 per cent.
The Sensex has so far touched a high of 31,688.73 points and a low of 31,457.78 points during intra-day trade.
The BSE market breadth was bullish — 1,487 advances and 921 declines.
"After a tepid start, the benchmark indices gained some momentum with the Nifty testing its crucial 9,900 mark. Gains were, however, capped as investors stayed cautious ahead of the Reserve Bank of India's policy outcome scheduled for later in the day," Dhruv Desai, Director and Chief Operating Officer of Tradebulls, told IANS.
"The monetary policy committee of the RBI is expected to keep its interest rate unchanged today despite a sharp slowdown in economic growth. Shares of all three state-owned oil marketing companies were trading higher by up to 4 per cent on BSE in early morning trade after the government cut the excise duty on both branded and unbranded petrol and diesel by Rs 2 a litre from Wednesday," he added.
On Tuesday, the benchmark indices surged to close on a higher note as positive global cues, coupled with healthy buying in automobile, consumer durables and oil and gas stocks, lifted investors' sentiments.
The Nifty50 rose by 70.90 points, or 0.72 per cent, to close at 9,859.50 points, while the Sensex closed at 31,497.38 points — up 213.66 points, or 0.68 per cent.

MagnaAngemon is Patamon's natural Ultimate form. He carries the sword
Excalibur, which allows him to open the Gate of Destiny. He is
considerably more powerful than the other Ultimates, and on a similar
level with Piedmon or the DigiDestined's Megas. With great power, and
using it to fight evil, MagnaAngemon evolves into a even more powerful
~ MagnaAngemon's chain of evolution ~
Patamon -> Angemon -> MagnaAngemon -> Seraphimon -> Azulongmon
To evolve into Seraphimon, a MagnaAngemon must fulfill these requirements:
[ ] Must be leveling within an open level range starting at level 150.
[ ] Must have 4,500 evil-alignment kills.
[ ] Must have less than 10 good-alignment kills.
There is a 7% chance of an evolution occurring when the requirements are met.

I am cleansing oil fanatic, so when the ladies at NIU BODY asked if I wanted to try one of their Vegan Coconut Oil-based Makeup Removers, I was totally on board!
What makes NIU BODY's makeup remover different is their unique blend of natural, high-quality, and effective ingredients in each bottle to cater to different skin types.
About NIU BODY
NIU BODY was created by two Canadian female entrepreneurs who were on the hunt for a natural but effective cleansing solution. That's when they discovered the wonders of coconut oil and soon after, created their line of coconut oil-based skincare products!
NIU BODY has now expanded their product line to include a variety of other skincare products while sticking to their core values of being a 100% cruelty-free, vegan, and natural company.
NIU BODY Coconut Oil Makeup Remover for Oily Skin
I have very oily skin so naturally, I wanted to give NIU BODY's Coconut Oil Makeup Remover for Oily Skin a try!
Ingredients: Caprylic/Capric Trigylceride (Fractionated Coconut Oil), Cedrus Atlantica (Cedarwood Essential Oil), Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree Essential Oil)
My Review
They weren't kidding when they said this was a gentle but effective makeup remover!
It easily removed all my makeup from my eyeliner, full-coverage foundation, shimmer eye shadow, and that pesky eyelash glue. There is a very slight scent of tea tree oil, but the smell doesn't linger.
I was super impressed that it did a fab job of removing my waterproof mascara too without excessive tugging or rubbing!
The directions says to rinse skin after using the makeup remover and although it doesn't leave an oily or greasy residue, I like to follow-up with using a damp face towel just to make sure I have a nice clean base before I apply my serum and moisturizer.
My skin feels soft, cleansed, and refreshing after I use NIU BODY's makeup remover.
The only con was the amount of cotton pads I was going through when using this product. It takes me 3-4 cotton pads to remove an entire face of makeup, this is quite excessive when compared to using a regular cleansing oil with a face towel.
But other than that, I would definitely recommend NIU BODY's Coconut Oil Makeup Remover as an effective, all-natural, and vegan alternative! =)
Have you tried using coconut oil as a makeup remover before?

Marilyn MansonAntichrist Superstar (1996)
Текст песни с переводом слов Marilyn Manson «Irresponsible Hate Anthem» из альбома «Antichrist Superstar» (1996).
Irresponsible Hate Anthem
I am so all-american, I'll sell you suicide
I am totalitarian, I've got abortions in my eyes
I hate the hater, I'd rape the raper
I am not the animal who will not be himself
fuck it
Hey victim, should I black your eyes again?
Hey victim,
you were the one who put the stick in my hand
I am the ism, my hate's a prism
let's jut kill everyone and let your god sort them out
fuck it
Everybody's someone else's nigger/I know you are so am I
I wasn't born with enough middle fingers/

All of us conduct surveys, get feedback forms or scoring sheets filled. When data is captured in Excel, we typically use Excel Pivot Tables to analyze it.
But what if the data is captured as a list of textual values like this? Many professional survey applications often dump the data in this type of format.
Here is a very simple but extremely useful way of analyzing such badly captured data.

Meet the faces behind the mission. We sat down with the individuals behind the scenes to find out why they chose to dedicate their time and talent to granting the wishes of children with critical illnesses. Today's spotlight focuses on Chief Operating Officer, Caroline Schmidt.
A: After I had my first (and only) child, a close friend approached me about Make-A-Wish. As a result of that communication and the great work the organization was doing, I explored the opportunity further. I realized that when my child grew up and asked me one day, "Mom, what do you do for work?" I wanted to be able to tell her I was a part of something as meaningful as the mission of Make-A-Wish.
A: The most rewarding experience has not been one thing, but is continuously seeing the impact that a wish has. From the wish child, their family, the community, the volunteers, employees and the donors, a wish's impact truly extends beyond just the wish kid.
A: My favorite thing about being part of this wonderful organization is being able to play a small part in a global organization that is comprised of volunteers, wish families, communities and donors that changes the lives of all involved. I know that what I'm contributing is meaningful and I fully believe we all have different strengths to serve our mission.

Emergency Steall Gorge path repairs complete
Heavy rain in October damaged a short section of the Steall gorge path.
Heavy rain in October, which closed roads across the Highlands, also damaged a short section of the Steall gorge path as torrents of water ran down the path and washed away the outside edge.
Our Nevis conservation officers spotted the damage the following day while carrying out an inspection of the path. They contacted local path contractor, Stonescape which was able to carry out emergency work to temporarily patch up the hole and ensure the path remained usable.
Stonescape has since returned and repaired the section more substantially with large stones to build up the edge of the path. An extra water bar has been added, to shed water off the path before it reaches this point again.
Our Wild Ways Path Fund enabled us to respond rapidly to this severe bit of damage on a very popular path before it got any worse.
Climate change predictions suggest that this sort of extreme wet weather is likely to occur more frequently. Donations can help ensure we can protect paths in our care from further damage by undertaking pre-emptive work on paths likely to suffer from erosion as well as reacting to erosion when it happens.

Celebrity chef Lesley Waters has opened up her Cookery School to host a very special event with us for parents and carers of children with autism. Guests were treated to a complimentary cookery demonstration and tasting by Lesley who wanted to give local carers the opportunity to have a memorable day out in our 50th Birthday year.
Caroline Northeast, mum of two children with autism, attended the event with her Mother in Law. She said; "The event was fantastic, I had such brilliant day. Being able to spend a few hours away enjoying some delicious food in beautiful surroundings was such an incredible treat! It is so rare that I have the chance to do something for myself so thank you so much Lesley."
Guests were treated to a cookery demonstration and tasting of a delicious three course meal by Lesley and her team at her Cookery School near Yeovil. The menu included Vintage Egg Mayo with Tapenade and Cress, Chorizo Crusted Chicken with Spring Cassoulet and Vanilla Creams with Rhubarb and Raspberry Dressing.
Dorset based chef Lesley, who has appeared on Ready Steady Cook and This Morning, has supported us for 4 years and has backed our annual Big Brekkie campaign since 2015. Lesley said; "It was a pleasure to welcome Autism Wessex and the group of parents and carers to the Cookery School. I've seen first hand some of the challenges that having a child diagnosed with autism can bring and felt strongly that I'd like to do something special for local parents and carers."
Thank you to Lesley and her team for putting on such a brilliant day!
Lesley Waters runs the Lesley Waters Cookery School at Abbots Hill Farm, near to Yeovil, where she offers a variety of cookery courses. For more information please visit: http://www.lesleywaters.com.

NATIONAL Australia Bank, the owner of 188 Yorkshire and 152 Clydesdale bank branches, today said the UK market remained challenging despite showing tentative signs of economic recovery.
Its trading update said its UK arm had benefited from lower bad debt charges, but added that the proportion of loans in arrears had worsened due to deterioration in the commercial property portfolio.
First quarter earnings were £635m, more than 20% better than the past three months.

Hollywood has long been accused of "whitewashing" its cast members, relying heavily on white actors while casting for its movies. Disney's selection of Liu Yifei as the lead of Mulan movie has turned out to be a glorious exception. Now, everyone wants to know who this Chinese actor is.
When Scarlett Johansson was selected to play lead of Ghost in the Shell, the remake of a Japanese anime, there was a huge controversy. Liu Yifei's selection comes after there was an online campaign with a demand to choose an Asian actor to play the lead of Mulan. The movie is actually the adaptation of a 1998 animated movie about Hua Mulan, a legendary Chinese warrior from the fifth century, who dressed up like a man to lead her father's army.
Who Is Liu Yifei?
Liu Yifei, aka Crystal Liu, is no stranger to period dramas. The actor has been nicknamed as "Fairy Sister" because of her looks in various Chinese dramas set in ancient times. Liu played the lead in many Chinese period shows like The Return of the Condor Heroes and Chinese Paladin. She played an ethereal character even in her last released movie, Once Upon A Time.
However, this is not the first time the 30-year-old actor will be working in a Hollywood movie. Her Hollywood debut was in The Forbidden Kingdom. She acted with Jet Li and Jacky Chan in the 2008 movie. She also acted in the 2014 movie Outcast.
Liu Yifei met K-drama star Song Seung-heon while working for The Third Way of Love. The romantic comedy helped the two come together and start dating each other. The couple's love story is so popular among fans that Liu Yifei has more than 53 million followers on Weibo, according to South China Morning Post.
#mulan #liuyifei looooooove u!
A post shared by lilytiger (@lilytiger_xoxo) on
Disney's decision to choose Liu Yifei as Mulan comes as it is reported that the Chinese star is fluent in English.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, casting directors considered almost 1,000 actors before choosing Liu. The role requires the actor to have sound martial arts skills.
Besides being an actor, Liu Yifei is also a singer. She had a contract with Sony Music Entertainment and released two albums.

|What is it?
|Witch hazel (Hamamelis Virginiana) is a small deciduous tree native to eastern North America. Extracts made from its stems have been used as an anti-inflammatory and astringent for hundreds of years. These days the most common format of witch hazel is witch hazel distillate, which can be purchased with or without added alcohol.
|Hamamelis Virginiana
|The distillate is a clear, watery liquid
|Usage rate
|Up to 100%
|Smooth, watery liquid
|The distillate is water soluble. The plant itself is insoluble, but can be used to create infusions.
|Why do we use it in recipes?
|The distillate tends to be most commonly used for its astringent properties, often in facial toners. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that can be beneficial. The scent isn't great, though, so it is usually blended with other ingredients like hydrosols to weaken/mask the smell.
|Do you need it?
|Inexpensive, natural astringent.
|It doesn't smell great.
|Alternatives & Substitutions
|Aloe vera is similarly anti-inflammatory.
|How to Work with It
|Include it in the water phase of your recipes; it can be hot or cold processed.
|Storage & Shelf Life
|Stored somewhere cool, dark, and dry, witch hazel distillate should last about three years. I store mine in the fridge. Double check with your supplier as there is likely to be some variation depending on format and/or added alcohol content.
|Tips, Tricks, and Quirks
|Many things sold as "witch hazel" contain other ingredients, like aloe vera or rose water. Be sure to read the ingredient label!
|Recommended starter amount
|250mL (8fl oz)
|Where to Buy it
|Buy it from an online DIY ingredient supplier. Look for an alcohol-free version.

August is Dental Health Month at the Middle Brighton Veterinary Centre!! This means that during August we have a special focus on Dental Health for your pet – in particular the prevention of dental disease in all pets. Our goal is to keep your pet's teeth at the reversible, gingivitis stage.
Have you looked inside your pet's mouth recently? Gently lift the lip and have a peek at the teeth and gums…. if the pearly white teeth are more yellow than white and the gums are swollen then you are looking at a diseased mouth. This is not good news for your pet.
Many owners incorrectly believe that dogs and bad breath go hand in hand. Whist we don't expect a pet's breath to smell like a bed of roses, if there is a strong odour then there is a problem. While bad breath may be common in dogs & cats it is not normal and represents disease that can really compromise your pet's health, affecting the heart, liver and kidneys – shortening your pet's life.
During August we are offering:
* FREE Dental Heath Checks by our Vets & trained Vet Nurses
* We will document your pet's state of oral health and determine the best course of action to improve & maintain their pearly white teeth
* We can also demonstrate How to Brush your pet's teeth!
* We also have Dental Information Packs and Samples of specific Dental diets & Dental Treats we highly recommended for both dogs and cats
* We have a number of Vouchers available off the purchase price of Hills Prescription t/d for dogs and cats, along with a great competition to win a 12 month supplied of the fabulous dental treat, Greenies
* 10% off all KONG products
* $50 Discount Voucher** that can be used on Dental Procedures performed under carefully monitored General Anaesthesia during August.
** this discount does not apply to Grade 1 dental procedures
Call us in AUGUST on 9592 9811 to arrange an appointment.

What the...
Every Time I Die have released a video for 'I Didn't Want To Join Your Stupid Cult Anyway', and you probably wouldn't want to watch it with your mum.
It's super NSFW and weird as hell, featuring nudity, blood, disturbing imagery and Donald Trump.
So, y'know, proceed with caution.
WHAT did we just watch?
Apparently it was put together by guitarist Jordan Buckley, while waiting for the band's upcoming 'Map Change' video to be finished.
Every Time I Die will hit this year's Download Festival, which takes place at Donington Park from June 09 - 11.

We run up to the meeting spot for our tour, faces red and short of breath. Our tram that morning had oh-so-conveniently decided to be late, and our frustration was clearly evident. The rest of our group, too, likely isn't feeling so hyggelig towards us latecomers.
Yet thanks to Copenhagen and Danish hygge, it was hard for any of us to be mad for long.
Our guide Soren introduces himself and asks our small group of five how we might define hygge. "Being with friends," says one. "Coziness!" shouts another. Soren tells us we were all slightly right–that hygge is hard to define, but might best be explained as that cozy, happy feeling you get while spending time with friends and family or cuddled up with a good book on a rainy day. I've never heard of anything more ideal.
Our meeting spot is smack dab in the middle of a huge neighbourhood filled exclusively with yellow houses. Our first question after Soren's introduction is, naturally, what all the yellow houses are about.
"This used to be a naval barracks," Soren explains. Constructed by Christian IV, Copenhagen's most prolific builder, the buildings used to be white with red roofs, but as time went on the red of the roofs washed down and dyed the walls their famous yellow hue.
We wander through Nyboder and chat amongst ourselves, the quaintness of the matching houses breaking down the previous barrier between us. Our next stop, a corner bakery for some traditional Danish pastries, breaks them down even more.
We're all staring hungrily at the window display as Soren explains the different kinds of pastries and offers up his suggestions. We all go for the traditional snail pastry, with an even split along the lines of chocolate vs. cinnamon. I try the cinnamon, and it is heavenly.
As we huddle on the one small bench in the tiny bakery, we all answer questions about our lives. One woman is originally American but living in London and is in Copenhagen to celebrate her birthday. Another couple is here all the way from Wisconsin to celebrate the husband's birthday. And my friend and I, Scottish and American and ever the odd pair, are also in Copenhagen to celebrate our December birthdays. A crazy coincidence that, without a doubt, drives the hygge up to the very top.
Stomachs happily full with delicious pastries, we bundle back up and move towards Rosenborg Palace and its gardens. In the summertime it would be a fantastic place for a picnic, but for now we simply take a quick wander and listen as Soren tells us all about Hans Christian Andersen.
Our next stop is once again food related. Copenhagen is by no means well-known for its chocolate so it's a surprise as we step into the Peter Beier World of Chocolate shop, but we don't stay surprised for long. As Soren tells us all about Peter Beier's monumental project of single-origin chocolates, the reason we've stopped here is abundantly clear. We taste chocolate from several countries as well as a few exquisite truffles before moving on.
We continue our walk in the direction of Copenhagen's most famous shopping street: Strøget. Though the street itself is not very hygge during the Christmas rush, the hidden alleyways surrounding it are a welcome respite, and Soren also points out the best spot in Copenhagen to watch the changing of the guard as they march from Rosenborg to Amalienborg Palace.
The last of the three palaces in Copenhagen is Christiansborg, and this is our next stop. This grand palace is also home to the modern day Danish parliament, which makes it the perfect spot for Soren to stop and tell us about the Danish political system and why Denmark is consistently ranked as one of the happiest countries in the world. I think we all leave thoroughly convinced that if anyone has it right, it's the Danes.
Our final stop is perhaps the best of all: another cozy food stop, this time a cafe with delicious lattes that's decorated for Christmas. We push several tables together and talk until Soren's next tour means he has to leave. In the span of only a few hours, we've become fast friends, and sitting in that small cafe in the centre of Copenhagen, hot drinks in hand and laughing together, we certainly were experiencing hygge.

Numerous people face sleeping difficulties on a daily basis, and the lack of sleep can increase the risk of numerous ailments and health issues, like high blood pressure, depression, high stress levels, and increased weight.
This is tightly associated with your unhealthy sleeping habits. But, insomnia is not the only problem people have.
Experts recommend sleeping for at least 7-8 hours every night, but despite the quantity of the sleep, we should also think about the quality of the rest we get.
Getting a good night's sleep is essential for your overall health, and optimizes vital functions. It improves concentration, and thus helps you go through your daily activities without any problems. Are you even aware of the fact that you spend a third of your life in sleeping?
Take this into consideration every time you go to bed. You may think that your sleeping position doesn't matter, but you're absolutely wrong. The position we sleep in is an important factor in this, as it can offer many health benefits, or aggravate our health issues.
According to the chiropractor and sleep expert Dr. John Douillard, sleeping on the left side beneficially affects sleep quality, and boosts overall health and longevity.
This is definitely bad news for those who tend to sleep on their right side. And no, sleeping on the right side doesn't affect the function of your heart. It's actually good for your cardiovascular system.
He claims:
"Emphasizing the left side for rest and sleep offers some time-tested wisdom for very real health and longevity benefits."
He explains the reasons for this:
- Stops snoring
Studies have shown that sleeping on the left side will reduce snoring, which might negatively affect the function of the heart, and help in the case of sleep apnea.
- Supports the lymphatic system
Sleeping on the left side will help the elimination of toxins, waste, or lymph fluid from the body.
- Relieves heartburn
Sleeping on the left side will be of great help when you suffer from heartburn or have a sensitive stomach.
- Improves heart health
This sleeping position will boost the function of the heart and prevent cardiovascular issues.

Market power is prevalent in most markets. The course "Managerial Economics 2" (previously: Competition Economics) analyzes and discusses (potential) sources of market power that allow firms to charge higher prices compared to the ideal of a perfectly competitive market. In particular we will deal with concentrated markets (oligopolies), markets with differentiated products, advertising as a channel to increase market power, and markets with information frictions (search models). The lecture is theory-based, but is complemented by recent findings in the empirical literature. We will use the textbook of Paul Belleflamme and Martin Peitz (2010) "Industrial Organization: Markets and Strategies" (mainly Part II and Part III).
The course is closely related to "Regulation and Antitrust", held by Johannes Muthers during the summer term. Both courses complement each other with only minor overlaps. If you plan to attend both courses, doing "Managerial Economics 2" first is probably more intuitive, but not mandatory.
The course (4 ECTS/2 hours) will be held weekly over the entire (winter) semester. Information on the schedule (including the dates of the exams) as well as course material will be provided online at KUSSS. The course ends with a written examination. Active participation in class is mandatory.

For people from typewriter era when computer is not so popular must be still remembering the noisy typewriting sound, where each keys pressed will have a 'tat' sound. Modern Windows computer doesn't make such as loud sound while typing as the mechanical movement is minimal.
If you fancy to have a typewriting-style sound been played from computer while typing, much similar to when typing in Apple Mac OS X, Tiper is a software that helps to play sound for each typing sequence.
Tiper sits at system tray (notification area) and runs as the background process for Windows operating system, and plays a configurable wav sound file whenever a key is pressed on keyboard. Tiper supports custom sound schedule. To add custom sound scheme, just prepare the sound .wav files in preset name formats that user want to play when pressing keyboard. Best of all, separate type of keys can be customized to play different sound.
The wav sound file should be named as following:
letter.wav – sound of typing letters and numbers
enter.wav – sound of typing "Enter" key
backspace.wav – sound of typing "Backspace" key
space.wav – sound of typing "Space" key (for blank space)
bell.wav – sound of typing keys like "Tab", "Home", "Pg Up", "Pg Dn" and etc.
All these sound files should be placed into a folder (any name will do), which in turn be placed inside the "sound" folder, a subfolder of Tiper program where Tiper.exe executable is. Restart Tiper after adding a sound scheme. To choose sound scheme, just right click on Tiper tray icon. Tiper itself has included many sound schemes, such as IncrediMail (default which similar to typewriter), Bird, Kongfu, Machine, Music, Nature, QQ2, and Yahoo.
Tiper also provides a keyboard shortcut to enable and disable sound effects by simply pressing Ctrl + Shift + F12. Alternatively, just right clock on Tiper icon on system tray and choose ""Disable sound effect" or "Enable sound effect".
Download Tiper (version 1.6). It supports Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and all versions of Windows Server. Direct download link to tiper1.6.zip.

Have had a minor health thingie. Mild, dull ache in the upper right quadrant of my abdomen. Blood work and sonogram do not indicate that there's anything wrong with my gallbladder, liver, kidneys, spleen or descending aorta. In fact, the tech who did the sonogram said I had a "gorgeous pancreas". There's one you don't hear a lot.
So who knows what it is. Like I said, it's mild. It's not getting worse, but it's not going away. My current half-assed theory is that I've got some inflamed peritoneum due to bad body mechanics at work. Trying to rectify that with a more mindful approach to how I'm working.
Got a haircut today. It's short enough, but not rockabilly enough. The guy got the part about wanting to look boyish, but not the part about wanting to look like James Dean. I'm pleased, I guess. Hair grows.
Um. Wow, I'm dull today. Working on some icons which I will post soonish. If anyone has any specific requests, I'd love to hear them. I've got a bunch of new brushes and textures to try out.

Fanatec Sim Racing Hardware
Endor, with its Headquarters in Landshut Bavaria, was founded in the year 1997 by Thomas Jackermeier, who turned his hobby into his profession. As an active player of early-stage PC-Games, he very quickly recognized the decisive role that input devices would play on performance, reality, and fun. During the 90's, the choice, from among what was available on high-quality devices, was very limited. Thomas decided to give up his wholesale biking store, a start-up business he had used to finance his educational degree during his time at the University of Regensburg while obtaining his Masters of Business Administration. Following his studies, he bought the company AB-Union, which was changed to Endor Ltd., which would later become Endor AG.
The developed products were never marketed under the name Endor, but rather under the brand name Fanatec, providing Endor with the flexibility needed, to be able to introduce new brands into varying markets as desired. Fanatec products are developed in Germany, produced in Asia and are sold globally via the official online webshop.
Today Fanatec can count itself amongst the global market leaders in high-end sim racing equipment for consoles and PC systems. For more product info and purchases, check out the official Fanatec web page.

In particular, printing some various w/t settings at the same layer height and feed rate, the prints got thinner as the w/t increased.

Looking back at some other test pieces I'd done with a wide range of layer heights and all at 1.0 infill solidity, things look very consistant.

I don't see why varying solidity would do this (or even if it is doing it - don't have a very big sample size here) but it's one more data point for firstname.lastname@example.com

Farmhouse Lighting on the Cheap
Several years ago when my husband and I wanted to update our builder basic lighting in our condo, we found it next to impossible to find lighting options that were budget-friendly, but still packed a punch. We ended up making our dining room and bedroom lights, but even still each light was close to $100 once all the material was bought. Not cheap!
I'm not sure if we were just ahead of our time and looking for something that just wasn't readily available at our price point or if Amazon Prime has just taken over our lives and made it super easy to get virtually anything our little hearts desire. Here are a few of my faves:
This post contains affiliate links. See my full disclosure policy for more info.
1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8
Which one is your favorite?! I'm quite in love with number 5 and think that would be the most amazing light over our dining room table. I'm also on the hunt for a dreamy pendant to go above our sink. It's so hard to choose just one. Can I have them all, please?
Are we friends on Instagram yet? Make sure you're following me to catch what light we end up choosing. I'll be sharing all the behind the scenes details over on my InstaStories!
