L'Oreal Extra Volume Collagen Mascara: It Really Works!
July 12, 2009 by Anna
Filed under Beauty Products
You're probably wondering why I'm posting again in the beauty section since we we just had a beauty review two days ago. Yes, I am braking the rule–because you've got to try L'Oreal Extra Volume Collagen Mascara.
To be honest, I really don't pay that much attention to mascara. My lashes are pretty short and I really have to spend a lot of time on them if I want significant length and volume. While most of my friends insist that mascara is the one beauty product they cannot live without, for me it has never been that important. I can't ever get the results I want–even if I use lash primer, which rarely happens because I'm too impatient.
Well, looks like I won't have to dread the lashes part of my makeup routine anymore. The applicator brush of the Extra Volume Collagen Mascara is really thick, allowing me to grab a whole bunch of lashes at once. With just a couple of coats, I was able to get the same results that I would after using both primer and mascara. It's so effective that I even did my bottom lashes, which I haven't done at all in the last three years. I can't believe that I actually woke up today looking forward to putting mascara on.
One of the things that always scares me about a new mascara is washing it off at the end of the day. A lot of budget mascaras I've tried take forever to remove and even after I think I've gotten it all off, more clumps appear after I blink. But not this time. I used my usual makeup remover and the mascara came off effortlessly. I'm sold!
Guerlain Kiss Kiss Liplift
May 13, 2009 by Anna
Filed under Beauty Products
I have always used eyeshadow primer but had no idea that a base for lip gloss and lipstick existed as well–until I tried the fabulous Kiss Kiss Liplift from Guerlain.
Liplift evens out the grooves on the surface of your lips, allowing you to achieve a very smooth application of color afterward. For this exact reason, I always used to prep my lips with balm before putting on lip gloss. But now that I've tried Liplift, I think I'll take five from my chapstick.
Two more noteworthy benefits of this product. First, it does not dry out your lips. Second, it helps your color last longer, which is a sign of a good priming product.
The "lift" part of the product's name suggests that it also plumps your pucker. I can't say that it dramatically plumped my lips, but I did notice a small difference. What sold me on Liplift is how much it improves the appearance of your gloss or lip stick. For that reason alone, I say this Guerlain goodie is a must-have.
Let me know if you have any other tips for making your lip gloss or lipstick stay on longer!

Co-Generation with Renewable Energy Sources
There are several considerations involved when installing co-generation facilities. Below are some informational documents you can review:
There are two rate riders available for members installing co-generation facilities. If you are interested in installing co-generation facilities, please contact our office to meet with a representative and discuss the project you have in mind.
Net Metering Rider
Refers to the use of one meter to track the net electricity consumed from the cooperative's source and the member's source.
Parallel Generation Rider
Applies if the member chooses to have separate metering. One meter registers electricity consumed from the cooperative, as normally done. The other meter registers electricity delivered by the member's generation to the cooperative. This electricity will be compensated to the member at the rate of 150% of the cooperative's system average cost of energy per kWh received (currently approximately 6 to 7 cents per kWh.

You are after school, you are expanded learning, and your voice is more important than you know.
Youth voice is critical to the success of an after school expanded learning program. Seeking youth voice helps to develop caring relationships between staff and students, and increases the program's relevance and meaning for youth participants. While practitioners consistently seek the voice of their youth and other stakeholders (parents, teachers and principals, partners) they often underestimate the importance of their own voice to ensure that high-quality programs are possible for the youth they serve. While it is true that advocates are hard at work advancing the after school and expanded learning movement, their voice will not make it very far without you.
It is your voice that will ensure that quality expanded learning opportunities are available to the youth and communities you serve.
In March 2015, the Afterschool Alliance released America After 3pm, which summarized a national survey assessing participation, access, public support, and family satisfaction with after school programs. Based on their findings California (where I work) was ranked number one in the nation for after school. The report surfaced strong public support for after school in California, which demonstrate a strong return on investment. In May 2015, the California AfterSchool Network (CAN) released the State of the State of Expanded Learning in California.
The State of the State surfaced that California has nearly 5,000 publicly funded expanded learning programs.
These programs serve nearly 500,000 of California's highest need students on any given day.
The report surfaced that expanded learning opportunities are vital to closing the achievement and opportunity gap by increasing student achievement, engagement, and well-being outcomes for youth all year long. Despite strong outcomes, a significant return on investment, and strong public support, after school programs in California and the nation find themselves at risk.
While many states in the nation are envious of California's expanded learning infrastructure, California's programs are facing significant fiscal challenges. Increased cost pressures related to good policies such as increased minimum wage, the Affordable Care Act, and California laws mandating that employers offer sick time have all increased the cost of doing business. Expanded learning programs must adjust to these new cost pressures in the context of flat funding and a rising consumer price index. Expanded Learning programs are seeing the cost of doing business go up without any relief.
This year, an important conversation began in the California legislature.
Legislation was put forward by Senator Loni Hancock to increase per-student-per-day funding for expanded learning tied to the minimum wage and implement ongoing Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAs). Furthermore, the legislature recommended a funding increase in the budget sent to Governor Jerry Brown. Sadly, our Governor did not have the same foresight as California's legislature and he did not approve a funding increase for expanded learning in the final budget.
Loni Hancock's Senate Bill (SB 645), which had been amended to facilitate a smooth rollout of increased funds in the budget, was further amended to assist California's programs in dealing with fiscal challenges by allowing programs the ability to implement furloughs. While this is not the ideal outcome, the conversation continues in our legislature. Now more than ever, we need the voice of the field to advance policies that will help the nation's strongest after school infrastructure continue to be successful. Imagine what we could do together with the combined voices of the staff of close to 5,000 programs and all of the families and communities that benefit from them!
This is a big deal in California but we have even more to do nationally.
Recently the United States House and Senate have each put forward their plans to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act commonly referred to as No Child Left Behind. Because of strong national advocacy, the Senate ultimately included the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (Federal expanded learning funding) in their version of the ESEA reauthorization. The more conservative House did not, opting instead to ELIMINATE THE 21st Century program in favor of a block grant for states that could be used for a variety of purposes including (if they chose) after school. In California that could mean a loss of close to 700 programs serving close to 100,000 youth.
There has never been a more important time for you to make your voice heard by your state leaders and federal Senators and Representatives. Advocates are working hard every day to ensure that these programs remain in tact and high quality, but they cannot do it without you. I hope you will choose to use resources like the America After 3pm report, the Expanding Minds Compendium of research on expanded learning, and resources like the State of the State of Expanded Learning in California to communicate the importance of these programs to your legislators and decision-makers. I hope you will attend your state advocacy days such as the California Afterschool Challenge and the national Afterschool Challenge.
I hope that you will host a Lights on Afterschool event at your site and invite your local, state, and federal representatives. I hope you will answer the call to the barrage of emails asking for a call to action. I hope you will discuss these issues with the families you serve and others who understand the value of expanded learning programs so that they can effectively raise their voice.
Your voice matters and it must be heard. The youth, families, and communities you serve every day depend on it.
For breakfast, I had granola cereal with lowfat milk.

I've noticed some leftys have different responses to the compression lock. I personally don't feel hindered by it at all, operating it with my thumb, and I won't even consider buying a knife that has a right handed lock bias anymore.
Closing for me tends to be a two part operation of depressing the lockbar with left thumb, pushing the blade slightly with forefinger on top of the spydiehole hump, then clearing my fingers back from the blade channel and sweeping the blade fully closed.
It sounds cumbersome, but in practice it's not, once the motions are ingrained in muscle memory. I don't really need lightnin' fast closing action, lol.
Due to the thin Kapara handle and sleek contoured carbon fibre scales, I pay a little more attention to the process than I do with other compression lock knives, but apart from that it's fine.
I probably wouldn't nominate it as the number one fidgeters knife for leftys though.
I know what you mean with the wire clips, Spyderg.
I figured I'd be using the Kapara for lighter duty so hopefully it won't be too bad. Similar to the Ikuchi but I still ended up needing to add an insert I made to reduce the hotspot. Thing is, I tend to grip my knives, tools in general very tightly. I'm hoping the clip on the Kapara is far enough back to sit in a spot where it isn't too bad. I don't carry my Techno or mantra thanks to terrible blisters they gave me.Cambertree wrote: ↑Sat Sep 14, 2019 10:01 pmI know what you mean with the wire clips, Spyderg.
Overall, I find the Kapara is by design a knife that is more suited to a 'loose' grip. The shape of the handle means it still feels secure held that way. It works well with a loose, chef style pinch grip, with thumb and forefinger on either side of the blade; or thumb resting in the spydiehole and forefinger out along the spine.
Sometimes I like to take a tight hammer grip on my knife when bearing down on branches or stripping bark off firewood and the like. The PM2, Millie etc give you a comfortable fistful of secure knife, with no hotspots.
The Kapara's wire clip and squared off handle edges are quite noticeable when gripping the knife tightly. It wouldn't be my first choice for a whittling knife.
It's interesting how on some designs you don't really notice the wire clip in hand, like the Dragonfly, Urban and UKPKs.
Others, like the Chaparral and Caly 3.5 feel so boxy and uncomfortable, I don't really use them much, or if I do it's with the clip removed.
Yeah, I figure the truth is with most of us, we have enough different knives and knowledge about using them, that it's often more about identifying the right niche for a particular knife in your 'toolbox of blades', than expecting it to be the perfect all round user.spyderg wrote: ↑Sat Sep 14, 2019 10:12 pmI figured I'd be using the Kapara for lighter duty so hopefully it won't be too bad.

That's great! It's a fine knife. That contour in the scales is pretty cool, hey? I wish they did that with more Spydies.spyderg wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2019 1:53 pmJust got it today. Lefty closing super easy, there's enough handle to grip allowing for thumb on the lock, flick, (or drop shut) closing. The clip is indeed far enough back as to not give me a hotspot. As a matter of fact, due to clip position and handle shape, this is the only wire clipped knife that I have ever found to be truly comfortable. I have not yet put it to work but the clip sits in a way that it doesn't feel like it'll move around a lot either. I am very pleased so far and excited to test it out.

Well this has certainly been interesting, trying to replicate Diego Simeone's 442 into Football Manager, whilst maintaining the level of aggression and dependance on set pieces is quite the challenge. Having played 10 games now, my Atletico side is now using either one of two permutations. I have been testing it out on FMC, instead of FM so that I can run this a bit faster, and without the use of OIs which happens to be my favourite tool, its an even more interesting prospect.
Thus far the side has managed to get at least 33% of their goals from set pieces, in their last game they scored another two from set pieces. I am torn between playing an asymmetric 442 or a more orthodox 442, the former seems a bit more accurate, though it does need some role changing and tempo changing during a game. I am still playing the FMC save, at least this becomes a part time hobby till the new patch is launched and I can begin a new save with a new team.
For more details on this you can go to the Football Manager 15 section of the blog

Alitalia MilleMiglia sent out an email yesterday to those that took advantage of their status match offer (read more here, here, here, here and here).
Eligible members can earn 5,000 bonus miles by crediting one AZ coded flight (seems that codeshares operated by other airlines qualify) between January 19 – March 31, 2016.
You can access this offer on Alitalia's website here.
The email that Alitalia sent out regarding this mainly pushes the Chauffer service that is now also offered in conjunction with certain Alitalia flights.
I did the Alitalia MilleMiglia status match because having SkyTeam Elite+ status can come handy at times (it already has when flying on Air Europe).
It is not difficult for me to credit one VCE-FCO Y segment of larger itinerary that I am crediting to Etihad Guest to earn these 5,000 MilleMiglia miles. Maybe they come handy at some later time. The segment wouldn't earn much when crediting on Etihad anyways.

Cyber Security Advisory and Consultancy Services
Navigating the murky world of cyber security can be a significant challenge for many organisations – but a vital one, when faced with the kinds of threats currently making themselves felt around the world.
Injazat can help, with our wide range of Cyber Security Advisory and Consultancy services. We can help organisations develop their cyber security thinking across the following areas:
Cyber Security Current State Assessment: Get a clear picture of where your organisation is right now in terms of cyber security, including identification of any key weaknesses. Understanding its current position is vital for any organisation looking to improve its cyber security, in order to put together a realistic transformation strategy.
Cyber Security Architecture Design and Validation: Injazat can design an enterprise's cyber security architecture, in close consultation with senior management and key business stakeholders to ensure all organisational requirements are met. And following the design phase, Injazat can help the organisation validate the architecture, to make sure it is fit for purpose.
Develop, Implement and Maintain an Information Security Management System (ISMS): For most organisations, but especially those that handle extensive customer data, or sensitive data such as medical records, safeguarding that information is a top priority. Injazat can design and implement a suitable ISMS, and also manage its ongoing maintenance in the future.
Develop, Implement and Maintain a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS): Business Continuity can seem like a simple concept on the face of it – but coming up with a comprehensive plan to keep business operations going after a disaster or other major disruption is no simple task. Injazat can help an organisation design and build a BCMS that is as effective as the organisation requires.
Develop and Conduct a Risk Management Exercise: All businesses involve some element of risk, even if such risk is minimal – but few take the time to understand the true nature of the risks they face, and how these can be managed.

Art joins science in coral communication
Scientists are not alone in their quest to observe and understand how coral reefs change through time. Artists and researchers have been creating stunning paintings, movies and even soundscapes to examine how reefs are responding to environmental pressures. Art has the power to engage viewers in scientific inquiry when they least expect it, reaching new audiences and facilitating public awareness.
A panel at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting in Washington, D.C., in December 2018, entitled "The Coral Reef Ecosystem: Observation, Configuration and Communication at the Intersection of Art and Science," looked at how some artists and scientists are bringing art and science together.
One such collaboration involved Scripps Institution of Oceanography ecologist Stuart Sandin, who enlisted the help of University of California, San Diego, music professor Lei Liang, whose students interpreted and communicated scientific data collected during the 100 Island Challenge. While the visual appeal of the colorful coral maps and three-dimensional virtual flyovers that the 100 Island Challenge team produces is undeniable, the music composition students pushed the edges of the creative envelope by, for example, sonifying the data to produce soundscapes.
Another collaboration resulted from the Netflix documentary, "Chasing Coral." At the AGU meeting, NOAA scientist C. Mark Eakin shared his experience working as a science advisor for the film, which features stunning cinematography that attempts to engage viewers who might otherwise avoid narratives related to climate change. Through this medium, Eakin's research on coral reefs has reached viewers in more than 100 countries.
Scientists like Sandin have worked with colleagues in the arts to increase the impact of their scientific research. The resulting art, panelists said, has the power to evoke an emotional response through which the public can access and process sophisticated scientific research.

Cusa Coffee is made using 100% high elevation Arabica coffee beans. A coffee plantation that is high in elevation is beneficial because it enhances the flavor of the coffee beans. It's also known to be higher quality and contain more rich, complex flavors. Our coffee plantation is also a fully regenerative agriculture plantation that is Rainforest Alliance Certified™.
An avid traveler and outdoorsman, Jim Cusa Tea & Coffee's Founder, was frustrated with lack of taste and quality of existing instant tea and coffee products. They are traditionally made using high-heat or extreme cold dehydration techniques that strip the flavor, aroma and health benefits of their ingredients. So, he decided to try something new! After months of trial, error and even utter failure, he finally figured out how to adapt gentle botanical extraction technology for beverages. Using cold-brewing and evaporative dehydration, he created instant coffee and tea that tastes like a fresh brewed cup, without the bitter and burnt taste typically associated with instant drinks. This technology now has over 30 patents and has won four championship medals for taste, proving that you can finally have taste, quality and convenience all in one little packet!
Listen as Jim explains more about the story behind Cusa Coffee:
- Patented cold-brew technology
- High elevation 100% Arabica beans
- Mix ICED or HOT
- Rainforest Alliance Certified™ source of beans
- Regenerative agriculture coffee plantation
- Zero pesticides or chemicals
"I had a cup of Dark Roast today. It was fantastic. Genuinely the best instant coffee I have ever had and I am a coffee snob. Bravo, Jim."

This Loose Woman opens up about her wedding plans...
Loose Women panellist Stacey Solomon is used to airing her opinions on the show, so we couldn't resist the chance to turn the tables and give her a gentle grilling on her super-sweet romance with boyfriend Joe Swash!
In an exclusive chat with Now, the 28-year-old revealed that when it comes to planning their nuptials, Joe, 35, definitely won't be left in charge.
READ: 'Did you take a piece of the moon?' Amanda Holden MOCKED by viewers for asking Tim Peake 'stupid questions' on This Morning
'Joe is great at doing some things, but organising is not his forte,' Stacey admits.
She's an Essex girl through and through, so you'd be forgiven for thinking that when the time comes for Stacey and Joe, it will be an extravaganza that even the TOWIE cast would be proud of.
But to our surprise, Stacey wants the complete opposite for her special day, confessing, 'I always used to think I'd have a meringue dress and it would be a big fairy-tale wedding. But the more I think about it, the more I just want it to be intimate – with me, Joe, our children and the people we love.'
Stacey sparked rumours of an engagement back in August when she shared a video on Instagram of herself looking happier than ever, whilst rocking a wedding dress.
But she later insisted Joe has yet to go down on one knee.
The couple announced they were dating in 2016 and their relationship has gone from strength to strength, with talk of children even on the cards.
Stacey says, 'I am one of seven and I've always imagined having more children, but to be honest it's whatever works best for the kids. If they're ready and they are happy with how things are going, then yeah, of course.'
Stacey is already mum to Zachary, nine, and Leighton, five, from previous relationships, while Joe also has a son, Harry, 10.
Come on Joe, it's time to put a ring on it!
Stacey is currently working with Ben 10, which airs weekdays at 4pm on Cartoon Network

We are proud to partner with Pastor Santos, the first pastor to found a church in any of the three camps in Adjumani (there are now dozens of churches).
Widely respected, Santos is an active reconciler amongst tribes and people groups. In 2016, before knowing anything about The Lulu Tree, this man of God and his team began their ministry by gathering regularly under a real Lulu (or shea nut) tree. We were so moved by this testimony and the fact that God led us to partner with him, nearly three years later.
Pastor Santos runs a training school for all tribes to attend, where they can learn hairdressing and tailoring. He also is involved in the training of other pastors and personnel, and is greatly respected amongst the South Sudan camps. It is our desire to encourage and equip this man of God in helping him to help his people.
Will you join us in helping provide skills to South Sudanese women so they can provide for their families?

He was nominated for eviction alongside Esther, Tacha, Sir Dee, Venita, and Cindy on Monday following the arena game challenge between the two teams and his team, Legend, had lost to team Enigma.
The two teams were instructed to move cotton balls to a plate with a spoon as the team with the most cotton balls gathered in their plate will be announced as the winner.
Ike, who won veto power, rescued Omashola and substituted him with Cindy.
Frodd had expressed his disappointment towards Ike who he took as a friend and expected more from him during his conversation with Esther.
"Our hearts are different, Ike is my friend but he didn't save him".
"I felt disappointed and upset but it's a game, there is nothing I can do. Ike shot me in the leg".
"I hate Sundays most time but hope God saves us". this was his word.

The sun's fury
Its rage knoweth no limits.
Sleeping in is hard work, let me tell you! All I wanted was to shift my hours slightly towards the night, so I could still be up and active during west-coast hours. It's just two or three hours later than what you'd consider an average healthy sleeping schedule, how bad can it be? Well, it's not winter anymore. The sun is rising earlier and earlier, and it's waking me up.
As romantic as that sounds, woken by sunrise, it really isn't. The timing is way off! I want to lay in bed and let mind and body take a well-deserved break, but the bright morning sunshine hitting my window at a perfect 90° angle tells them not to. And even though they need their rest, they refuse to take it.
My curtains have a black layer to help block the sun, but it's not of much use when the rays are striking them directly. Maybe I need to just board it shut, banish all light from my room forever.
And then emulate west-coast timezone lighting using smart lightbulbs.

Between 2020 and 2027, at least nine FPSO projects are set to develop or relocate in Europe, where shorter project lifespans and smaller fields translate to lower breakeven prices (approximately US$35/bbl) secure profitable projects for oil companies. Now that oil prices are stabilising at about US$60/bbl, this bodes well for the future of the FPSO market in the region.
Since 2018, three projects have been awarded in Norway and the UK: last year, Fluor secured the contract for a new-build FPSO for Shell's Penguins project, while Teekay Offshore won a redeployment order for the Petrojarl Varg FPSO for Alpha Petroleum's Cheviot project (both in the UK).

Mr. Gealy Ap Literature
Middlesex Gender is defined as the state of being male or female, typically used to determine factors of a person's social role rather than a person's biological makeup. Jeffrey Eugenides explains the importance of gender's affect on how people are treated in his 2002 novel, Middlesex. The main character of the book is born intersex, and must go through many trials to discover his true identity and handle the expectations of others. "When this story goes out into the world, I may become the most famous hermaphrodite in history…I've got a male brain. But I was raised as a girl. If you were going to devise an experiment to measure the relative influences of nature versus nurture, you couldn't have come up with anything better than my life."(Page 27, Middlesex. Eugenides.) Gender is beyond the small word that contains it, as a person's gender may be the most understated crutch in their life. In Middlesex, Eugenides uses the point of view of an intersex person to give the reader insight on gender stereotyping and the irrelevance of physical gender in the human identity, along with the unjustified prejudice against those who change their gender. The most common example of the negative affects of gender stereotyping is sexism. Sexism is defined as a form of stereotyping that creates negative connotation with how a person is seen because of their gender. Sexism is often seen as a discrimination only women deal with. Women are often discriminated against in many ways, including being seen as sex objects that can not have a mind of their own, or seen as people who must be attractive to be of any worth. Middlesex states that although some see males as the sex with a pass on discrimination, gender discrimination rules on both sides. "Society discriminated against women, no question. But what about the discrimination of being sent war? Which sex was really thought to be expendable."(Middlesex, Page 334). This quote from Cal describing his brother's anguish over the possibility that he may get sent to war and die, is just one eye opening example of the struggles that are built with being male. Men are thought to be weak if show any soft or delicate feature, from physical attributes to their personality. For men that do show "feminine" qualities, it likely that they have been told to "Man up," or to "Stop being a girl," in their lives. These derogatory terms set up the discrimination women must face as being seen as a weaker sex, to such an extent that even being called a girl is an insult. Middlesex gives the reader the rare perception of a person who has felt discrimination and insecurities that both genders must face, and has realized that gender is not something that should hold a person back in becoming who they want to be. "Biology gives you a brain. Life turns it into a mind."(Page 218, Middlesex).
By showing the insecurities of an intersex person, Eugenides points out our own insecurities that are surrounded by gender. Middlesex has a close connection with transgendered people, as transgendered people often relate to intersex people because they also become a gender that is not originally theirs. Some people find transgendered people extremely difficult to understand, thus hard to sympathize with. But many of those people would

The 3rd Edition of the Roca One Day Design Challenge in Dubai Gathers Over 135 Architecture and Design Young Talents
With over 135 participants, the project Eco-nnect from Marco Maximus and Amr Abdelaziz has won the first prize of the 3rd edition of the Roca One Day Design Challenge, celebrated on Saturday 17th in Dubai. The competition, which took place at A4 Space in Alserkal Avenue, poses the challenge to young designers and architects of designing against the clock an innovative proposal for the bathroom space that complies with the description of the briefing revealed early that day.
The concept established as a premise for the participants in Dubai has been to design a bathroom product that incorporates innovative technology that also has to be long-lasting. The proposal has to ensure the hygiene and comfort for users.
Out of all the submitted projects, Eco-nnect from Marco Maximus and Amr Abdelaziz from Attik company, have been the winners, earning the prize of 6,000 AED. The project consists on a bath with a projector attached to the ceiling that shows the image on a large curved glass. This way, the user can keep connected while having a shower. The screen-glass is waterproof and allows navigation, scrolling and speaking with the inbuilt microphone. The member of the jury Mr. Justin Wells highlighted "this proposal is extremely professional, it catches the very core essence of the technology in the bathroom, fundamental to what we are here to celebrate today… and also abroading a different kind of materiality what we thought it was a little bit ambitious and well considered in execution as well".
The second prize has been awarded to Visage by Nada Elemam and Mai Ghazala from the American University in Cairo and the American University of Sharjah respectively valued at 4,000 AED. The member of the jury Mrs. Alexandra Nastik highlighted "this project is very simple, very elegant, it looks like a finished project and has a great featuring of technology".
The third prize, valued at 2,000 AED, has been for Barefot wellness by Habiba Aly, Rajwa Taifour and Farah Ahmed from the American University of Sharjah. Mrs. Rama Keilani member of the jury, highlighted that "this idea has lots of potential for future development, it's very innovative".
We Are Water Foundation, whose goals are to raise awareness and to make the public and the institutions think of the need to create a new water culture that allows a fair development and a sustainable management of the water resources around the world and to carry out all kinds of actions to alleviate the negative effects of the lack of adequate water resources, has also presented a fourth award of 2,000 AED to the project that has stood out for its commitment to sustainability, the project The Resevoir by Beman Takla from the British University in Dubai. The member of the jury Mr. Ben Piper commented: "a fantastic example of use of technology, not sophisticated electronic technology, but material science of technology to look at how one could recycle waste water in an efficient, sustainable manner."
Loyal to its commitment to innovation and design, Roca organises this competition with the aim of supporting young talents in the early stages of their professional careers. For this reason, Roca started the internationalization of the Roca One Day Design Challenge in 2015, with the aim of providing a platform where they can develop their creativity and gain the experience of being in touch with the professional world.
This year, the competition has expanded internationally to four more countries than in 2017: Brazil, Singapore, Poland and Bulgaria host the first edition of Roca One Day Design Challenge. Portugal, Russia, Oman, United Kingdom and China celebrate the second edition after the success of last year's first edition. United Arab Emirates and Hong Kong, where the competition is already consolidated, celebrate the 3rd and 4th edition respectively. Spain, the cradle of the Roca One Day Design Challenge, celebrates the 7th edition.

That is unworkable right now. Git has been "in the works" for several *years* now. We cannot rely on it appearing at any given point in time. Certainly not by the time that we want to release an Apache OOo. You also have authentication problems between Apache and the LO installation. You also have code guarantee problems (the ASF guarantees that third parties have not tampered with its development). Seriously. If it was "that easy", then Infra would have just set up a git repository and be done with it. But it isn't "that easy". There are thousands of open source projects using Subversion. And there are downstream users of those projects that do not use Subversion. I fail to see how this one is different. I also fail to see any credible reason that Subversion cannot handle the development here at Apache. Cheers, -g

Dong Energy have launched a new campaign for offshore wind to build awareness of "the important and growing role" it plays in the UK's transition to a low carbon energy mix.
DONG Energy's 'Offshore Wind Works' advert suggests offshore wind is "Britain's greatest untapped energy resource". Platform posters across the London underground network and advertisements are being used to get the message across in the next few weeks.
The company commissioned research which found a very low awareness of how offshore wind is becoming a significant part of the UK's energy, despite it powering 2 million homes and supporting more than 18,000 jobs.
Brent Cheshire, UK Country Chairman of DONG Energy said: "With the energy debate gathering momentum, this is an important time to ensure that the arguments for offshore wind are clearly articulated as the future of our energy mix is considered.
"We want to give people the facts so that they can build an informed view of the current achievements and future potential of offshore wind."

Honiton edge towards safety after Budleigh win

Budleigh skipper Dan Messom won the toss and decided to bat first, but saw his openers separated with just six on then board when Charles Parkin fell for two, out to a catch by Dave Haysom off the bowling of James Pickard.
Wickets were then taken at regular intervals with first change Willy Graham (3-11) and second change Adam Holmes (3-31) the main wicket takers.

The successful run chase was completed in just 21.3 overs for the loss of four wickets. Opener Dave Haysom carried his bat to be unbeaten on 28 at the close, but the main source of runs for the home side was Oli Cave who five fours and three sixes in his 46.
On Saturday (July 27), Honiton travel to face a Sampford Peverell & Tiverton side that sit fifth, but just 16 points above Honiton.
After this coming game there will be just five matches remaining in the season and 100 points to play for so, a win in Mid Devon would make staying up an awful lot easier for Honiton!

A Program to Teach Programming.
Fenichel, Robert R.; And Others
Communications of the ACM, v13 n3 p141-146 Mar 70
The TEACH system was developed to provide inexpensive, effective, virtually instructorless instruction in programing. The TEACH system employed an interactive language, UNCL. Two full sections of the TEACH course were taught. The results of this experience suggested ways in which the research and development effort on the system should be continued and provided information for evaluating the effectiveness of the course. Pedagogically, the system appears to be successful; straightforward reimplementation should make it economically successful as well. An appendix contains a complete description of the UNCL interpreter. (Author/JY)

Paul Pogba does NOT need surgery on hamstring problem which is not like Ousmane Dembele's injury
Midfielder limped out of Champions League win against Basel with hamstring injury and United will find out next week if Pogba does require surgery according to reports
MANCHESTER UNITED star Paul Pogba will find out if he requires surgery within the next week, according to reports.
Pogba limped out of United's Champions League win against Basel last week after 19 minutes with a hamstring injury.
It had been feared the midfielder may need surgery and would be out of actions for months rather than weeks.
But Finnish medical outlet HS report Old Trafford chiefs have made contact with Dr Orava, the surgeon who operated on Barcelona winger Ousamane Dembele's ruptured tendon.
Orava claims the French international who has enjoyed a great start to the new season, could still recover without going under the knife.
He said: "His injury is a little different to Dembele because he can heal without surgery.
"This kind of problem is usually a sum of many coincidences and is affected by muscle fatigue as well as rapid stopping and quick turning, with the brain going quicker than the feet.
"A decision will be taken next week."
Latest Man Utd news
Pogba posted a video of himself merrily dancing in the dressing room at United's training ground ahead of their clash against Burton on Wednesday.
And while Mourinho has dimissed stories the midfielder could miss up to three months with the injury, he revealed he is till in the dark about how long Pogba will be absent for.
Mourinho said: "I have no idea, but, again, it's a great opportunity for other players to play and I trust them all, so I'm not going to cry or be counting the days until Pogba comes back, not at all.
"When he comes back, welcome, but until then, I trust my people."

In 2009, a group of bus industry professionals achieved a long standing ambition to run a vintage bus service from Warminster in Wiltshire, to the abandoned village of Imber on the Salisbury Plain. It proved to be so popular that it has now become an annual event, with most journeys continuing across the Plain to parts of Wiltshire rarely seen by ordinary public transport users.
There are only a few days each year on which the road through Imber is open to the public and so this year we are aiming to operate the Imberbus service on Saturday 17th August 2019 with several London Transport Routemaster buses (plus a few newer ones) providing a bus service from Warminster Station to Imber and to other isolated locations on the Salisbury Plain. As the buses will be operating an ordinary bus service, there is no need for passengers to book in advance – just turn up and pay the conductor on the bus.
We will be providing more information about this year's service on this website during the summer.
In the meantime if you want to see what arrangements applied to our 2018 event please click here to visit the Imberbus 2018 page.

17All but one of the top-five teams won their games.
John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports
One of the worst kickoff attempts you're ever going to see happened early on Saturday in college football Week 10 — foreshadowing the craziness yet to come.
There were some absolutely massive games on the schedule in Week 10 that could have a lot to say about how the College Football Playoff pans out later this year.
Not surprisingly, a few big upsets took place around the nation, though all but one of the top-five teams won their games. Along the way, fans witnessed some remarkable individual efforts that sparked victory.
These are the biggest takeaways from college football Week 10.

A Christian woman cleared of blasphemy in Pakistan is said to be "very unwell" and is reportedly being denied medical care in protective custody.
Asia Bibi, who was moved to a safe house in Karachi after her acquittal was upheld by the country's Supreme Court last month, is reportedly experiencing very low blood pressure.
A source told reporters: "Everyone is very worried. She won her appeal and was supposed to be out of Pakistan by now.
Let's continue to pray for fellow Christians around the world that they are protected from wicked and unreasonable men and they continually walk in divine health as they boldly preach the gospel.

Things You'll Need
Replacement drawer slides
Drawer slides consist of two parts on each side of the drawer. The male slides attach to the left and right sides of the drawer for insertion into the female slides mounted inside a cabinet, dresser or desk. Rollers on the slides help the parts glide smoothly so that the drawer opens and closes easily. Over time, the slides may become bent or broken or the rollers may become chipped, causing the drawer to stick or hesitate when pushed shut or pulled open. Removing the old slides so new ones can be installed is the solution.
Step 1
Pull open the drawer and lift upward by the handle or knob to disengage the drawer slides from the slides inside the piece of furniture. Remove the drawer from the furniture.
Step 2
Remove the two screws holding the slides on the left and right sides of the drawer. Take note of the slide's orientation on the drawer so you can attach the new one in the same position.
Step 3
Remove the screws holding the left and right female slides on the inside of the cabinet or desk. You may need to remove the drawers above and below to make room for your hands and the screwdriver.
Step 4
Insert the left and right male slides into the female slides and take the parts to a hardware or home improvement store to match with a replacement set.
Step 5
Attach the new female slides to the inside of the furniture, using the screws supplied with the new hardware. The slides may be labeled "L" and "R" to guide your installation on the left and right.
Step 6
Fasten the left and right male slides to the sides of the drawer, using the supplied screws.
Step 7
Tip the back of the drawer down into the cavity in the furniture so the wheels on the leading edges of the slides fit into the female slides inside the furniture. Lower the drawer until it is horizontal and slide into place.

Section 198B(1) defines a fixed term contract as a contract of employment that terminates on:
· the occurrence of a specific event;
· the completion of a specified task or project;
· a fixed date other than an employee's normal or agreed retirement age.
· The nature of the work is of a limited or definite duration. (Examples of this is where the person is employed to complete a specific task, for example, a building which may take longer than three months to complete (section 198B(3)(a)).
The protections on fixed term contracts do not apply to:
• Employees who earn R205 433,30 per annum
• Employers who have fewer than 10 employees; or
• Employers who have fewer than 50 employees and who have been in business for fewer than two years unless the employer has more than one business or the business was formed from other existing businesses.
If the employee is protected and the employer has more than 10 employees or has been in business for more than 2 years or has more than 1 business, the duration of fixed term contracts is limited to three months.
You may only extend the duration of a fixed term contract, if there is a justifiable reason for extending the employment of these employees after three months. Examples of justifiable reasons to extend the duration of the contract:
· is replacing another temporarily absent employee;
· is employed due to a temporary increase in work which is not expected to endure beyond 12 months;
· is a student or recent graduate employed for the purpose of being trained or to gain work experience to enter a job or profession;
· is employed to work exclusively on a specific project of limited or defined duration.
· is a non-citizen granted a work permit for a defined period;
· is employed to perform seasonal work;
· is employed on an official public works scheme or similar job creation scheme;
· is employed in a position funded by an external source for a limited period;
· has reached the normal or agreed retire age in that business.
If any of the above is present, a fixed term contract may be extended past 3 months.
- Are we dealing with a protected employee: R205 433.30 p.a?
- Are we dealing with protected employer? Fewer than 10 employees or fewer than 50 employees who has been trading less than 2 years? Or the employer has more than one business.
- If No, limited duration of fixed term to 3 months
- If Yes, then protections do not apply.

The other day, I realized how much I really missed those Sesame Ginger oriental salad kits. Since I tend to be sensitive to sugar, I had cut them out of my diet due to the huge amount of sugar in the dressing. That, my friends has now changed. Why not get the kit but make your own dressing instead of that sugary stuff they give you? So, I played. And, I played again. And… again. Now, we have something pretty tasty!
So! Start off with the basics. Toasted Sesame oil, Rice Vinegar, and Soy Sauce. On Soy Sauce, a couple of notes: You can get regular, and low-salt Soy Sauce! Feel free to use either one. Now, if you're gluten free, the Soy Sauce is a BIG problem. I have it on good authority that Coconut Aminos can substitute. I haven't tried it myself, so I'm going to ask some of you to chime in on how that converts.
So, Rice Vinegar, and Toasted Sesame Oil first… So many people have issues with salt and sugar, I tend to be on the lookout for such things. Rice Vinegar regularly comes in two forms: With, and without salt and sugar; so keep an eye out if you're sensitive. Sesame Oil also comes generally in two forms: Toasted, and Un-toasted. The Un-toasted is a light colored liquid that will not have the depth of flavor that we're looking for here. The toasted is the way to go, and will be a dark brown.
We're going to start off with ¼ cup of each of these two (Rice Vinegar, and Toasted Sesame Oil), and 1 Tbsp of Soy Sauce.
Now, a note on the other ingredients. Fresh is always preferable, but, if you're like me and live in the sticks, things like Garlic are not always do-able fresh. Dried can be used. Real, fresh Ginger really does give the kind of flavor we're looking for, so, if at all possible, use it, not the dried stuff. I have been interested in seeing how pickled ginger does, but have not gotten around to making any, so… that's for another post. Next: sweetener of choice. Since I am sensitive to the sugars, I use xylitol. It sweetens like sugar, and even tastes like it. (best of both worlds for me, but, it is toxic to our furry friends, so be careful with it if you have pets.) Another thing that I have added before and was really fun was Chinese 5 Spice (Please contact for special order if you don't already have some). Adding ¼ tsp can change the flavor of your dressing in surprising ways. But…. let's keep it to the basics for now, and add that when you want to keep your dinner guests guessing as to your magical cooking prowess.
Add 1 Tsp of chopped garlic, 2 tsp of sugar, or sugar substitute, and about half this amount of ginger nub. (Or, as much as 2 tsp of powder.)
And give it a stir until you can feel the sugar has dissolved.
Next, you want to let it sit for at least half an hour before serving, so, grab a handy container with a lid (mason jars work great for this) and let the flavors get friendly with each other while you do something else.
When ready, pour it on, and you have Salad! I love to add nuts to mine, just for a little bit of fun texture.
Next, easy dinner! (I got some gorgeous fully-cooked smoked salmon the other day, so I'm indulging.)

After years of going to church, following the rules, and trying to replicate the faith of their parents, pastors and the church, Ryan and Josh Shook realized something was fading fast in their souls. Firsthand is the disclosure of how they found faith on their own.
It's a raw and honest confession that will challenge your students, young adults and church to start making their walk with God personal.

AAPS 2016, ADC, Delivery, Drug Development, global health, novel technology, precision medicine, Stem Cells
by: Annette Bak
AAPS has heard your feedback on previous annual meetings! You wanted more focus while maintaining diversity at the AAPS Annual Meeting and Exposition. Therefore, this year we built in themes from the program get-go, and 30% of the program is dedicated to 4 themes. According to interest, you will be able to follow "Accelerated Drug Development," "New Delivery Modalities," "Novel Technology," and "Precision Medicine" throughout the program with no overlap. The Annual Meeting Planning Committee (AMPC) and the theme committees are excited to offer these themes as the topics that will span a range of new areas with both scientific and strategic focus, each with sufficient programming (7 tracks) and quality speakers to still provide in-depth focus in each area.
What if the themes are not covering your area of interest? The remaining 70% of the sessions are oriented around the 9 sections in AAPS with strong input from our 42 focus groups. This part of the program includes novel topics such as global health, novel excipients, stem cells, antibody-drug conjugates, continuous manufacturing, non-oral dosage forms, and drug delivery of small and large molecules, just to mention a few that have my personal interest. A consistent member feedback has been that the AMPC needed to carefully look at the program schedule to allow interest groups to follow their desired program with no overlap from similar programming. To resolve the problem in 2016 we have added an additional level of review from a group of past AMPC chairs.
Collaborative programming with other societies (e.g., ACS, EUFEPS, and USP, plus many more) allows attendees to see not only the best of the annual meeting, but also cool science, strategy, and processes from other societies. There are of course also four late breaking Hot Topics including programming on a key EU consortium, Orbito, the CDER's New Technology Initiative, bioequivalence, and learning gained from the Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase (FAAH) Clinical Trials. These Hot Topics are selected shortly before the meeting to bring you the "latest-and-greatest" at the meeting. Personally I find these offerings particularly valuable as they address the global nature of many pharmaceutical sciences careers and key challenges in drug development.
Stalled in your career or just simply wanting to further your soft skills? Attend career development programming covering a range of career levels and skills, including self-branding, conflict resolution gender, and culture diversity and inclusion topics. This year I am especially excited about the career development format as it allows for increased participation, so come and join us to "learn-by-doing."
Writing this blog, I realized that the AAPS Annual Meeting and Exposition has so much to offer that I can't cover it all. Don't miss out on preconference workshops and short courses, the keynote and plenary sessions, including Advancing Pharmaceutical Sciences to Drive Prevention and Cure, poster sessions, the high quality exhibition, and opportunities to network at alumni events, section and focus groups Town Halls, PharmSci lunch time chats, and much much more. Want a snapshot of all AM programming? Check out the AAPS Newsmagazine!
Please let me also take this opportunity to acknowledge members who submitted programming, the 2016 AMPC, the theme committees, the past AMPC chairs for reviewing the program for overlap, and AAPS staff—all are key contributors to what will be a successful meeting in Denver. We hope that you enjoy the new elements in the program. Please find me at the meeting to provide your feedback —positive and constructive—so that we can incorporate it in future meetings.
See you all in Denver!

Severe thunderstorms with tornadoes, very large hail, and damaging winds are likely this afternoon into tonight across the north-central High Plains. Other severe thunderstorms are expected from parts of the northern Rockies to the Upper Midwest, as well as across Maine and west Texas this afternoon into evening. ...Northern High Plains... An upper low is centered over NV this morning, with a progressive shortwave trough rotating through the base of the low and into UT. Lift and mid-level cooling ahead of this feature is expected to promote thunderstorm development over parts of the northern Rockies and High Plains this afternoon and evening. East-southeasterly low-level winds over southeast WY and northeast CO have transported rich boundary-layer moisture back to the foothills, where daytime heating and approaching trough will likely result in first initiation of thunderstorms. Forecast soundings in this area show very steep lapse rates and large CAPE values, as well as favorable low-level and deep-layer vertical shear. Discrete supercells will be likely as activity moves off the higher terrain and into the adjacent High Plains. Parameters appear quite favorable for very large hail and tornadoes with these storms. Strong tornadoes are possible today. This evening, several CAM solutions suggest an upscale evolution to one or more bowing complexes as storms move into western NE/SD. ...NE/IA/MN/WI... Scattered strong/severe thunderstorms are ongoing this morning over parts of southeast SD and southwest MN. This activity is in proximity to a surface boundary that extends eastward into southern WI. Given the strong heating and destabilization occurring along the boundary, it appears likely that this activity will persist through much of the day and build eastward along the front. Large hail and damaging winds will be possible in this corridor. Models hint at the development of a bowing MCS this evening, affecting parts of IA/WI. ...MT/WY... To the northwest of the primary severe concern today (southeast WY), there will be a risk of severe storms capable of large hail and damaging winds into parts of western MT and northern WY. Thunderstorms may form through the afternoon over parts of eastern ID and central WY, and build northward into MT during the evening. Large hail and gusty/damaging winds will be possible in the strongest cells. ...Maine... Strong heating is occurring today over much of ME, with fast westerly flow aloft and dewpoints in the 60s. A consensus of 12z model guidance shows considerable coverage of afternoon thunderstorms in this region. Forecast soundings show moderate CAPE values and sufficient deep-layer shear to support a few rotating storms. Hail will be the main threat in the stronger cells, but gusty outflow winds will also be possible. ..TX.. A few high-based thunderstorms capable of gusty winds and hail will be possible this afternoon over parts of west TX, in a corridor of strong CAPE and steep low-level lapse rates. This threat should be focused in the 23-03z period. ..Hart/Jirak.. 06/12/2017 CLICK TO GET WUUS01 PTSDY1 PRODUCT NOTE: THE NEXT DAY 1 OUTLOOK IS SCHEDULED BY 2000Z
