Kia Super League
Yorkshire Diamonds 104-4 beat Western Storm 99-3 by 5 runs
WESTERN Storm just failed in their quest to make it a perfect 10 in the Kia Super League group stage as Yorkshire Diamonds ran out five-run winners in a Taunton thriller.
In a match reduced to 10 overs a side, a superb 60 from 18-year-old Jemimah Rodrigues led the visitors to 104-4 and it proved just beyond the home side despite a terrific 76-run partnership between Fran Wilson (45*) and Sophie Luff (31*).
Storm had been reeling at 23-3 in the fifth over but Luff and Wilson played fluently to take the equation down to six needed from the final ball, which Luff played and missed as the White Rose narrowly closed out victory.
The afternoon rain in Taunton delayed the start by nearly two hours but conditions eased in time to allow the game to get underway under the lights at 8.20pm.
Diamonds made up for lost time, taking 19 from the first over, but the second saw them lose both openers as Freya Davies struck twice.
Both were caught behind but in contrasting fashion, with Lauren Winfield (12) lofting straight up in the air having come down the wicket and Alyssa Healy (7) edging through to Rachel Priest attempting a cut.
Enter Rodrigues, who timed the ball superbly from the outset and hit the evening's first six straight back over the head of Storm skipper Heather Knight.
The Indian international raced to a 21-ball half century, including eight fours and two sixes, as Yorkshire raced along at more than 10 an over.
It took the reintroduction of Davies, held back until the final over, to end Rodrigues' super knock on 60 as she induced a chip to mid-off which was held by Smriti Mandhana.
Davies ended with superb figures of 3-7 from her two overs to restrict Yorkshire – who had looked set for a total of around 120 – to 104-4, with Hollie Armitage (18) run out from the final ball of the innings coming back for a second run.
Storm were less fluent to begin with in reply and Priest, who had limped to seven from 12 balls, picked out Rodrigues at deep mid-wicket to provide Yorkshire with their first breakthrough.
There was a further setback just three balls later as Smriti Mandhana, also on seven, chipped straight to cover and the hosts were on the back foot at 19-2.
Knight (4) was caught in the following over and, at the halfway point, the home side were 33-3 – Yorkshire had been 55-2 at the same stage.
Home favourite Luff stepped on the gas alongside Wilson, who hit successive sixes over mid-wicket in a seventh over which yielded 23 to give Storm a glimmer of hope with 42 needed from three overs.
That became 14 from the final over and two Beth Langston no-balls aided Storm's cause, but the seamer recovered and kept her nerve from the final delivery to secure victory.
Wilson finished on 45 from 20 balls, with Luff on 31 from 18, but Storm ended up paying for their lacklustre start and head to Sunday's finals day at Hove off the back of their first defeat of the season.
It also ended the team's unbeaten record in Taunton, built up over four seasons of the Kia Super League, during what was the last Western Storm match to be played at the Cooper Associates County Ground.

Conspirators Continue to Conspire?
Since the end of November, all's been quiet on the Blog Front. I know that much is obvious and it wouldn't be worth your while to read a list of excuses. The simple fact is that I haven't made time for blogging or writing in general because I've made other parts of my life a priority. I'd hoped the end of the world would absolve me from all responsibility, but alas, here we are.
I do have a new blog entry that will be posted after the New Year, but you won't find it here. Oliver at Literature and Libation has offered me a golden opportunity to write a guest post and I will publish a link when it's up. It will be all about that ugly little number you see to your right – my NaNoWriMo wordcount.
Though that may be my only completed piece, I have been thinking a lot and taking notes. I've been brainstorming my next novel, short stories, and non-fiction essays. I managed to crank out the occasional bit of text in support of these items, but mainly because I get antsy and know I should keep my word placement skills from getting rusty.
What I'm trying to say is that I apologize for my absence, and I will be back. I like this writing thing too much not to return.
But enough about me. How are you guys doing? I'll be celebrating Christmas, so in my tradition, I'll wish you a Merry Christmas. But no matter what you celebrate, cherish the moment and stay safe.

Clariana Develops New Grading System
by Joe Savrock (June 2010)
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - For instructors, interpreting exactly what students intend to convey in their written essays can be a challenge. Grammatical missteps—for example, overuse of pronouns or inconsistent subject-predicate agreement—can skew the intended meaning of a student's essay.
Roy Clariana, professor of instructional systems, developed a text-scoring system he calls analysis of lexical aggregates (ALA) as well as a text-analysis software package, ALA-Reader. ALA-Reader provides a means for scoring essays objectively in various instructional and research-related settings.
"Today, students in our high schools write a lot of essays and teachers spend a lot of time marking these essays. I initially developed ALA-Reader to do some of the work, not to replace teacher scores but to complement their work," said Clariana, who serves as academic division head of education at Penn State Great Valley.
ALA-Reader translates written text directly into electronic files. The program converts the text into a word map or picture of students' essays, and each student's map is also automatically compared to the teacher's map for analysis that results in an objective score.
The current version of ALA-Reader is used mainly by researchers interested in automatic text analysis, especially doctoral students, but classroom teachers could use it as well. "This approach has potential not only for assessment but also for classroom instruction," said Clariana. "For example, the software works in any language and researchers in Mexico and Finland are using it now. It can convert a Spanish essay into an English word map, and so it could be used in foreign language-learning classes. And students can run it on their own writing to see the word map of their essay and to try to improve the essay if they score low."
Recently, Clariana and his colleagues applied ALA-Reader to the essays of students in an undergraduate business course. The investigators sought to analyze the effect of pronouns. They edited the essays, replacing commonly used pronouns with the appropriate referent, and then processed both the original essays and the edited essays using two different ALA approaches:
- the sentence aggregate approach, which analyzes text at the sentence level. ALA-Reader disregards all words in a sentence except preselected key terms. It then replaces the synonyms of key terms with the appropriate key term.
- the linear aggregate approach, in which ALA-Reader searches the text sequentially from beginning to end, looking for adjacent key terms both within and across sentences. This approach likewise disregards all words except preselected key terms and replaces synonyms of key terms with appropriate key terms.
Analysis revealed that the linear aggregate approach provided a better measure of individual essay scores.
"Besides providing more evidence that the system works, this sort of fundamental research also helps us understand the linear and nonlinear nature of text and the influence of parts of speech in texts," stated Clariana. "It also provides a way to visually represent the structure of an individual's knowledge that is captured in their writing."
He added, "New tools allow us to think in new ways about things, and what we are finding now using ALA-Reader enhances the discussion about what is knowledge."

Auto Europa Perugia Airport
FREE Cancellations, NO card fees!
Auto Europa Perugia Airport
Nearby the airport of Perugia are the regions of Tuscany to the west, Emilia Romagna to the north, and the Marches to the east, and the major cities of Rome, Florence and Pisa are within driving distance of Perugia Airport. With all these wonderful places surrounding Perugia, many passengers like to hire a car from Auto Europa. Auto Europa is one of the car hire companies at Perugia Airport, and are popular for their low prices and quality vehicles for hire.
Auto Europa Perugia Airport is open from Mondays to Saturdays, between the hours of 08:00 and 19:20. Auto Europa is closed on Sundays at this location. Cars can be hired directly from Auto Europa's rental counters at the airport, or in advance, from Auto Europa's website, at www.autoeuropa.com. Hiring a vehicle online is a very easy and convenient process, simply fill in your required details and follow the instructions on Auto Europa's website. The website has all the information needed for selecting the correct size of vehicle for your holiday or business trip. It displays all the vehicle categories available, and many of the vehicles found within the categories, with seating and luggage capacities for the example vehicles as well.
Vehicles at Auto Europa Perugia Airport are hired by category, rather than by their specific makes and models. Customers may also not receive the exact example vehicle as displayed on Auto Europa's website, but will receive a vehicle of similar shape and size. Most car categories at this Auto Europa rental location requires the primary renter to be at least 21 years of age, and to have a valid drivers license. In some cases, an International Driving Permit may be required, and drivers from the UK are advised to have both parts of their license available. Other documents may be required for identification, especially if the driver's license does not have a photo. The primary renter should have held a driver's license for at least a year in his/her country of residence prior to the rental date.
Most car hire companies charge a bit extra for drivers between the ages of 21 and 25, as there are additional costs for young drivers insurance. Larger or specialty type vehicles may also not be permitted for rent by younger drivers. A major credit card is required by Auto Europa in order to pay for the rental, and most car hire companies accept the cards of American Express, Diners Club, Eurocard / MasterCard and Visa. Debit cards or cash are usually not accepted.
Auto Europa has a very large selection of quality vehicles for their passengers, ranging from smaller cars such as the Fiat Panda, to larger vans able to accommodate up to nine people. Some of Auto Europa's smaller cars are found in their Economy category, and they are a popular choice for their fuel efficiency and good rental prices. A two door vehicle in this category is the Fiat 500, while other four door vehicles include the Fiat Grande Punto and VW Polo. There are also Compact cars available, and these are of a similar size to those in the Economy category. They are mostly hatchback models, seating up to four passengers, however, the VW Golf Plus is a larger model seating up to five passengers. Other vehicles in this category include the Alfa Romeo Mito, Renault Megane wagon and the Mercedes A Class, which is an automatic vehicle.
The vehicles mentioned above are quite small and are a good choice for city driving, but they don't have much space for luggage. Families therefore tend to hire from a category containing larger vehicles, such as the Mid-Size, Standard and Full-Size categories. These vehicles all seat five or more passengers, and are great for all types of driving. Mid-Size vehicles include the Lancia Delta, Nissan Primera, Fiat Croma, Fiat Sedici and VW Tiguan. The Nissan and the VW Tiguan are vehicles with an automatic transmission. The Renault Scenic and Alfa Romeo 159 are also available. The Standard category has some nice larger sized vehicles ideal for groups of travelers, for example, the Fiat Ducato, seating up to nine people, while other larger sized vehicles are available in the Premium category, such as the Mercedes Vito, seating up to nine passengers as well.

The Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) has issued proposed regulations that would amend the fee disclosure rules issued in February 2012. The proposed amendment would require service providers to furnish plan fiduciaries with a "guide" to required initial disclosures that are contained in multiple or lengthy documents. The guide, which would be provided in a separate document, is intended to enable fiduciaries, especially those responsible for small and medium sized plans, to easily locate and access "all principle data elements required as initial disclosures" in a cost-effective manner. The proposed amendment does not provide immediate reliance. The amendment is proposed to become effective 12 months after publication of a final amendment in the Federal Register.
Note: It is important to note that the proposed guide would not be a "summary" of the provided documents. EBSA was concerned that plan fiduciaries would primarily rely on such a summary rather than conduct the full review of the disclosures necessary to determine the reasonableness of a service contract, evaluate fees, and identify potential conflicts of interest.
Final rules required detailed service fee disclosures
The final regulations issued under ERISA §408(b)(2), effective July 1, 2012, were designed to provide plan fiduciaries with sufficient information to evaluate the reasonableness of compensation and fees directly and indirectly paid to certain service providers (including affiliates), and assess the potential for conflicts of interest that may affect the performance of a service provider. A service contract or arrangement would not be reasonable, for purposes of the prohibited transaction exemption authorized under ERISA for necessary plan services, unless covered service providers (including fiduciary service providers, banks, consultants, investment providers, and third party administrators) complied with a series of new disclosure requirements.
The rules generally require disclosure of services to be provided to a plan by a covered service provider and compensation (direct and indirect) to be received by the provider. Covered providers would be further required to furnish information regarding investments with respect to which they are fiduciaries or provide recordkeeping and brokerage services.
Summary of initial disclosures. In seeking to promote economic efficiency and afford providers flexibility, the final regulations did not specify standards regarding the format in which the required information must be released. Accordingly, the rules allow covered service providers to satisfy the disclosure requirements using different documents from various sources as long as the documents, collectively, contain the required disclosures.
EBSA acknowledged, however, that allowing the disclosure requirements to be satisfied through multiple documents could make it difficult and time consuming for responsible plan fiduciaries to find and analyze particular disclosures. Moreover, EBSA cautioned, the benefits associated with providing the disclosures could be diluted if the information provided to responsible plan fiduciaries was obscured in long, highly technical documents.
Therefore, EBSA solicited comment as to whether service providers should be required to furnish a summary disclosure statement, including key information that would provide an overview of the required information. Specifically, the Department requested comments addressing the costs, benefits, and burdens associated with requiring a summary or guide and how it could effectively construct such a requirement to ensure that the summary or guide was practical and useful.
Comments on the final rules raised concerns that providing many voluminous documents could be overwhelming to fiduciaries who would need to invest substantial time and effort finding the relevant information. The proposed rules attempt to address these concerns by requiring covered service providers to furnish a responsible plan fiduciary with a guide to all relevant information.
Proposed guide to initial disclosures
Under the proposed amendment, in the event required information (e.g., initial disclosures under ERISA Reg. §2550.408b-2(c)(1)(iv)(A)-(G)) are not disclosed in a single document, or if the document is in excess of an unspecified number of pages, the covered service provider would be required to furnish the responsible plan fiduciary with a guide specifically identifying the document and page or other sufficiently specific locator ( such as a section) that would enable the responsible plan fiduciary to quickly and easily find information applicable to the contract or arrangement. Service providers could choose pagination or a more general alternative.
EBSA advises that service providers who furnish the required information in a concise single document would not also be required to furnish fiduciaries with a separate guide to the disclosures.
Specific locator. A provider would not be able to merely indicate that required information is contained in a separate service contract or prospectus. The specific locator would need to guide a fiduciary to the exact location (e.g., page number) of the required information in the document. Document and pagination requirements are envisioned as providing a direct and unambiguous point of reference. However, EBSA is soliciting comments with respect to acceptable alternative locators.
Electronic disclosure. Similar standards apply to information that is electronically disclosed. A service provider may not merely furnish a link to a separate contract or prospectus. The provider would need to disclose a direct link to required information or provide a sufficiently specific location in addition to an electronic hyperlink.
Required information
The guide would need to direct the fiduciary to the location in the disclosure documents of the following information:
(1) The description of services to be provided;
(2) The statement concerning services to be provided as a fiduciary and/or as a registered investment adviser;
(3) The description of all direct compensation;
(4) The description of all indirect compensation;
(5) The description of any compensation that will be paid among related parties;
(6) The description of any compensation for termination of the contract or arrangement;
(7) The description of all compensation (and/or a reasonable estimate of the cost to the covered plan) for recordkeeping services; and
(8) The required investment disclosures for fiduciary services and recordkeeping and brokerage services, including annual operating expenses and/or ongoing expenses.
Contact person. The guide would need to identify a person or office, including contact information for a plan fiduciary with questions regarding the disclosures being provided.
Separate document. The guide would need to be furnished by the service provider in a document that is separate from those containing the required disclosures. The requirement, EBSA explains, would ensure that the guide is brought to the fiduciary's attention and prominently featured so it can be used effectively in a review of the required disclosures.
Annual disclosure of changes to previously furnished information
The proposed rules would require a covered service provider, on at least an annual basis, to disclose any changes to previously disclosed information. EBSA believes that periodic disclosure of any changes to the information contained in the guide would be more beneficial to plan fiduciaries and less burdensome to covered service providers than an ongoing and sporadic disclosure of every change to a component of the guide. However, EBSA is soliciting comments as to whether it would be more effective to require that the entire guide (rather than only changes to information contained in the guide) be disclosed on an annual basis, if changes have occurred during the preceding year.
Sample Guide
EBSA is not providing a model guide. However, the Department has made available on its website (http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/pdf/408b2sampleguide.pdf) a sample guide to the initial disclosures (initially published in an Appendix to the final rules in order to facilitate public comments on this proposal). EBSA is also soliciting comments on whether including such a model guide in the final rule would provide useful guidance and reduce compliance costs for at least some service providers.
Request for comments
EBSA is soliciting detailed and focused comments on the structure of the guide, as proposed, and whether its requirements are feasible and cost-effective. EBSA is looking for input specifically with respect to: the types of products and services that will require a guide; economies of scale that would allow service providers to prepare a guide for one product or service that could be used for multiple clients; and an estimate of the costs anticipated by providers in creating the guides. Comments are due on or before June 10, 2014.
Focus group testing
In connection with the issuance of the proposed regulations, the Labor Department has issued a notice of intent to request approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for the collection of data for the project titled "Evaluating the Effectiveness of the 408(b)(2) Disclosure Requirements." The DOL intends to conduct approximately eight to ten focus group sessions with approximately 70 to 100 fiduciaries to small pension plans (those with less than 100 participants). The purpose of the focus group testing is to explore current practices and effects of EBSA's final regulation and to gather information about the need for a guide, summary, or similar tool to help fiduciaries navigate and understand the disclosures.
Written comments on the information collection request must be submitted on or before May 12, 2014. Copies of the proposed collection of information can be obtained and comments may be forwarded by either one of the following methods: Email: email@example.com; Mail or Courier: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy/Chief Evaluation Office, U.S. Department of Labor, Room S-2312, 200 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20210.

Grape Seed Extract as Adjunctive Cancer Therapeutic6 years, 4 months ago
Posted on Mar 04, 2014, 6 a.m.
Grape seed extract appears to enhance the potency of chemotherapy drug, utilized to treat colon cancer.
A number of previous studies have identified potent antioxidant capacity of grape seed extract, which is high in tannins. Amy Cheah, from the University of Adelaide (Australia), and colleagues utilized commercially available grape seed extract from which tannins were extracted and subsequently tested in laboratory studies using colon cancer cells grown in culture. The team observed that grape seed extract significantly decreased intestinal damage compared to the chemotherapy alone, and decreased chemotherapy-induced inflammation by up to 55%. Importantly, grape seed extract showed no side effects on the healthy intestine at concentrations up to 1000 mg/kg. the study authors submit that: "Grape seed extract may represent a new therapeutic option to decrease the symptoms of intestinal mucositis while concurrently impacting on the viability of colon cancer cells."

I got up pretty early and ended up doing some personal things, but I'm still getting to work a little early, and I love it. I have several things I need to do. So let's get started.
We've talked about working vacations on this blog before.. Something some people may not know about me is that I was homeschooled growing up. And I know one thing that everyone loved was that we could go on trips any time we wanted without missing too much school. Our family would work pretty ststeadily through out the schoolyear, and then we'd take a long summer break.. Sometimes Dad would have to go on business trips, and we'd go with him.. And I know more and more families are homeschooling for all kinds of reasons these days. So today, let's look at some places your family could combine work and pleasure.
Vegas, which does have a lot to offer families, has wifi in most of their casinos. I know there are some great family resorts in the area that your family could enjoy together. Maybe your family can decide on the best time to work and do school, and then you can have the rest of the time to enjoy time together.
Los Cabos may be another place you can combine work and play. Yes , it was ravaged by a hurricane about a year ago, but they have rebuilt everything quickly. Most the hotels should have wifi. And when you need to take time to relax and unwind , you can take a scuba adventure or treat yourself to a spa session.
Let me know if any of this inspires you to take a working vacation. I would be more than happy to help you out.

Some recent evidence suggests that the number of people with sensitive skin is actually soaring. And that skin types can be grouped into oily, dry, combination or sensitive - or some combination of these.
Truth is, sensitive skin is not a type of skin. Neither is oily, dry or combination. These are skin conditions.
And these are labels we've been conditioned to believe that something is inherently wrong with us and our skin. But skin health is more fluid, and changes in the skin are perfectly normal - especially as the seasons change, or you hit (gulp) your 40's and 50's.
There's a misconception out there that people think they have sensitive skin. But not a lot of discussion or education is out there as to to why people believe they have developed sensitive skin.
Skin sensitivities can be attributed to a long list of toxins and irritants found in many skin care brands. Skin sensitivities can also be a result of using too many products.
We don't believe there's a safe level for any skin irritant, including ubiquitous ingredients like fragrance and essential oils.
Schăf works because of what's in them as much as what's not. We cut out all the stuff that can wreak havoc, and only use the good stuff skin needs to calm, clear, heal and protect itself.
Schăf also works because we promote a less-is-best philosophy that works to resolve skin conditions due to excessive use of skincare products. That's right. Using too many products is a major factor in developing sensitive skin.
Our first recommendation for any of our customers who have problem or sensitive skin is to try and convince them to use less product. A lot less.
And rather than developing formulations for sensitive skin, dry skin, or oily skin, we developed a simple, uncomplicated, non-sensitizing line of universal products for a diverse audience with various skin concerns.
Lots has been said about "hydration" and "moisture" and how they mean different things in skincare.
However, in every area of science, both terms relate to water content. Soil moisture, food moisture – all of these relate to water, not oil.
The only place you'll see a distinction between hydration and moisture is in skin care and hair care.
Yet water vs oil is a useful concept as it relates to skincare, but we should be using these words more accurately.
Dry skin needs OIL, dehydrated skin needs WATER.
Sixty percent of the human body is made out of water - and skin only receives water from water being put in our bodies, and from water-based moisturizers.
That's why applying water-based products is crucial for your skin's hydration level and overall health. When skin is hydrated, it is balanced and nourished. In other words, healthier and youthful skin looks good mainly due to its high content of water and, on the other hand, dehydrated skin is ground zero for the development of the first signs of aging: loss of elasticity and the emergence of fine lines and wrinkles.
Hydration is the first crucial step in skincare, and 'moisturization' is second.
Compared to pure oils, water-based formulas absorb faster into the skin, and water is a vessel to better distribute other active ingredients. Skin only receives water from water put into our bodies and water-based moisturizers because skin produces oil, not water. Therefore, water is the ultimate hydrator for skin.
Water also reaches the cellular level, unlike oil, which tends to sit at the surface level of the skin and does not penetrate deep into the epidermal layer like water does.
What's the difference between dry and dehydrated skin?
Dry skin has a lack of oil, or lipids. With dehydrated skin, there's a lack of water in the top layer of the skin.
So how do you tell which one you have?
With Schaf, you get the benefits from active ingredients and emollients, plus an infusion of moisture from water. The formulas are water-based, won't clog pores, and deeply hydrate the skin at the targeted cellular level. The application of our all natural formulas will not only alleviate the problem of dry or dehydrated skin, but will also work to improve skin elasticity and firmness, reduce roughness and prevent wrinkles.
"I tried this skincare line on a recommendation from a friend who has used this line for years. I was dubious as I have very sensitive skin and deal with rosacea, large pores, a few dry patches and occasional breakout. I have tried many skin care lines over the years all promising but not delivering. This whole skin care line is amazing. The serum has added brightness and tone to my skin, the redness has significantly reduced and dry patches and break out have cleared. My skin feels well hydrated too. Thank you to Peter to offering support and follow through on the products. Love the fact that this amazing skin care line is Canadian and made local." ~Tammy H. .]]>
Generally speaking, men's skin is different from woman's skin.
For starters, men's skin has more oil. Before the age of around 50, testosterone increases oil production. Estrogen, you guessed it, suppresses oil production. Another difference is that men's skin is thicker. So because women's skin is thinner, women are more susceptible to the harmful, aging effects of sun damage. However, women are more likely to take protective measures in the first place when it comes to skin care. And as a man's oilier skin begins to dry out as he reaches middle age, his skin actually gets thinner as well. Due to frequent shaving, most men have facial skin that's actually more sensitive than women's. Especially for guys who don't follow a good post shave routine.
We believe there are far more differences between our individual skin conditions that are beyond gender, and those individual conditions even vary from season to season. So lumping us all into the two camps of men or women is just silly.
Men typically don't like complex routines, and prefer to keep things simple. We are not fans over overly complex skin care routines either, and we don't think anyone should spend the time and money on a 9-step skin care routine. That's just nuts.
Gender schmender - the key for all of us is to find safe, effective products, that will contribute to healthy, happy skin.
The basics to skin care are exfoliation, cleaning, and moisturizing. That's it.
Exfoliating your skin restores a healthy glow, smoothes and softens, and stimulates collagen production. It reduces the appearance of pore size, and smoothes fine lines. It also improves make-up application and preps for a closer, smoother shave. You can use a physical scrub, or exfoliate without abrasives if your skin is sensitive.
Clean it. You have to get rid of the grime, pollution and excess oil. Excessive dirt build up on the surface can cause blockages of the follicle, trapping sebum, sweat, and dead skin cells. Proper skin cleansing clears pores of debris to prevent dirt buildup, allowing the sebum oil to reach the skin surface unimpeded and thereby decreasing the chances of a breakout. But the key is to use a cleanser with a safe pH, and that does not strip your skin or impact your skin's microbiome.
Moisturizing everyday can reduce the chance of developing extreme dryness or oiliness. Both extremes are harmful for skin and cause common skin conditions like acne. It also protects your skin from environmental damage, calms and nourishes, and promotes healing.
Once you get the basics and your skin is healthy, you can do things like; change your moisturizer to adjust for the season, introduce an anti-aging treatment, a night cream, or a serum treatment. These extra add-ons are most helpful for those of us in our 40's and 50's.
Tempted to bury your parched complexion in a rich, heavy cream? Don't do it! You'll only trick your skin into thinking its sluggish oil production is A-OK, and consequently perpetuate the dry skin cycle. Our Facial Cleanser, Moisturizer and Eye Cream/Night Cream are formulated to support natural, balanced oil production, and also supply your skin with essential moisture and healing antioxidants. Don't let your skin get lazy.
Oil is not inherently bad. But drying, soap-based products and acne treatments rid your skin of its protective oil, so your skin will trigger the sebaceous glands to produce even more oil. It seems counterintuitive to moisturize an oily complexion, but your skin knows if it's properly protected, producing more oil when your skin is dry, and less when it's not. Regulating your skin's oil production is a key factor in maintaining healthy, glowing skin. All Schaf products include natural and organic ingredients of skin friendly botanical extracts, oil-free hydration, and antioxidants that help to balance excessive oiliness.
Skin sensitivities can be attributed to a long list of toxins and irritants found in many skin care brands. We don't believe there's a safe level for any skin irritant, including ubiquitous ingredients like fragrance and essential oils. Why take the chance?
Your skin is pretty amazing on its own. Our products help it do its thing by cutting out all the stuff that can wreak havoc, and only using the good stuff your skin needs to calm, clear, heal and protect itself. The truth is, it really comes down to cutting out the bad stuff and only using simple, clean ingredients on your skin, because that's what your skin needs regardless of gender, age or skin.
Have you ever been really excited to reveal how a new product has transformed your skin only to look in the mirror and be greeted by a breakout? Well, don't toss that product just yet because sometimes a breakout is a sign that the product is doing exactly what it's supposed to do. But other times, a breakout means that product isn't right for your skin. I'm talking about the difference between purging and having a bad reaction to a product.
Purging is the result of introducing a product that speeds up the turnover rate of skin cells and therefore speeds up the acne life cycle, bringing all kinds of yet-to-surface blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples to your skin's surface more quickly.
A bad reaction occurs when your skin doesn't agree with a product for a number of reasons. Another possibility is that you're having an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients and your skin is responding with inflammation which causes acne to surface. It's also possible that the product you're using is just simply too harsh for your skin so it's freaking out and producing more oils to protect itself which exacerbates acne. No matter the cause of the reaction, if you've determined this is the reason for your breakout then it's sadly time to say goodbye to your new product.
To figure out if your skin is purging, you first need to find out if the product that's causing you trouble contains active ingredients. Active ingredients are the only ingredients that can cause purging because they have properties that increase cell turnover. The following active exfoliating ingredients cause purging:
We believe that if you fight dry skin with rich, heavy creams or oils, you essentially trick your skin into believing it's been producing too much of its own oil.
In response it will decrease production, thus perpetuating the dry skin cycle. Regulating our skin's oil production is a key factor in maintaining healthy, glowing skin.

All Schaf products are formulated to support natural balanced oil production, and also supply your skin with essential, nurturing, oil-free moisture and healing antioxidants to prevent dry skin.
We also added Hyaluronic Acid, that delivers a powerful shot of hydration that lasts all day.
Some skin care brands and trendy skin care regimes encourage a multitude of steps and products - as many as 12 steps a day!
That's just nuts.
Your skin doesn't need that, and neither does your wallet.
Healthy skin can usually regulate itself. But applying too much product trains your skin to rely on these products and it gets lazy, and can't find any kind of balance with all the product being thrown at it, and perpetuates many skin problems.
There's also trend to treat specific skin 'conditions'. You have a zit, use this zit product. A oily forehead, and dry cheeks, then use these two separate products. Morning cleanser, and a different evening cleanse? This is all nonsense.
Some brands are treating the 'condition' without treating the skin. And then treating the condition too aggressively. It's like chemo for a head cold. Healthy skin doesn't need much help to fend for itself.
Your skin should be able to heal itself. The misconception is that products are there to resolve when problems arise. That's only partially true. Using too many products can actually contribute to the problem, and it turns into this vicious cycle. And your skin gets terribly confused and forgets how to help itself - it gets bombarded with all kinds of things thrown at it before it even has time to react to the last thing that came along.
I believe biggest mistake people make when it comes to skincare is thinking they need special products for special skin issues. While it is true that there are some differences between male and female skin - men's is thicker, and women's is thinner making it more susceptible to damage, and at age 50, hormones make a mess of things for both genders - that doesn't fundamentally change how skin works or what it needs to calm, heal, and protect itself. The truth is, it comes down to cutting out the bad stuff and only using simple, clean ingredients on your skin, because that's what your skin needs regardless of gender, age or skin type.
Aim for healthy skin and skin issues will be far less common.
And keep it simple.
Your skin will thank you.
There's increasing recognition that men's and women's skincare requirements are on and the same. His and hers moisturizers and shaving gels are being drowned out by a deluge of brands that are blind to gender.]]>
If climate change hasn't already convinced you to reduce your carbon footprint, consider this an appeal to your vanity: air pollution can make you look older. Pollutants from exhaust and industrial processes cause oxidative stress on skin, leading to the formation of "free radicals" (just know: they're bad) that cause things like inflammation, fine lines, and dark spots. Here are five ways to minimize the damage.

On the Count of Three by Carolyn Arnold (Brandon Fisher FBI #7)
English | 2018 | Mystery & Thriller | ePUB | 2 MB
And they thought prison was hell…
When a woman's disappearance ticks off all the same boxes as two unsolved murders, Miami homicide detective Kelly Marsh is convinced there's about to be a third. If she's right and the killer sticks to their previous MO, she only has three days before Jenna Kelter's decapitated head will show up somewhere in the city. With no time to waste, Kelly reaches out to the one person she knows can help: her former mentor and family friend Jack Harper, who just happens to lead a team with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit.
BAU special agent and profiler Brandon Fisher easily sees the similarities between Detective Marsh's missing person case and the two cold cases: all three victims served time for DUI vehicular homicide and disappeared three days after being released from prison. But is that enough to assume Kelter has been abducted by a serial killer? Brandon's not so sure and fears his boss may have let his personal connection to Marsh cloud his judgment. Surely there isn't any other explanation for why they jumped into an investigation less than twenty-four hours after Kelter was reported missing. Then again, maybe Brandon is letting his own differences with the detective affect his perspective. He'll need to move past it, though—and quickly.
After all, this killer has evaded capture for the past six years, and they may be looking at a lot more victims than originally suspected. This serial killer is calling the shots and pulling them into a macabre game of cat and mouse. While the team has no choice but to play, if they don't make the right moves, one of them may not make it out of Miami alive.

"I was in shock and looked at the clock. Did that just happen?"
By Daragh Small
There was a stunned silence as Ephie Fitzgerald delivered the news that he would not be continuing on as Cork manager.
The Rebelettes had just been knocked out of the 2019 TG4 All-Ireland Senior Championship by arch-rivals Dublin in the semi-final at Croke Park, and now they had lost their prized leader, off the field.
"I have blocked a lot of it out now but it was silence," said Cork midfielder Maire O'Callaghan.
"Then (captain) Doireann O'Sullivan just managed to say thanks for a great year. That always happens, even when the management are coming back. There were a few words spoken but the bare minimum because everyone was so upset.
"It was just a bit of a shock for us, I know some of the girls were saying they thought it would happen with (coach) James Masters stepping away as well. But it was a lot to take in.
"We were after losing the match and finding out there was going to be a turnover of the management team as well, so it was a sad enough dressing room.
"Especially for the older girls, I know we don't have a lot of them anymore, but when you are trying to impress new management at that stage it's harder."
Fast forward three months and the landscape has shifted drastically. Things are looking up for Cork football.
The 2016 All-Ireland winning manager, Fitzgerald, reversed that exit decision and is back in the hot-seat after a meeting with the Cork county board in early October.
And last weekend the county was back claiming silverware in the club game, when Mourneabbey and Donoughmore were crowned All-Ireland senior and junior champions respectively.
For Mourneabbey it's back-to-back titles having lost finals in 2014, 2015 and 2017, and it was done in the most dramatic fashion with a last-gasp winner to deny Galway's Kilkerrin/Clonberne.
A well-worked team move ended with Laura Fitzgerald sending over the winning point with less than 20 seconds to go at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick.
O'Callaghan has been a driving force all year for club and county, and this win more than made up for the devastation of losing in Croke Park.
"There were times in previous years when we thought we wouldn't see one All-Ireland, never mind two," said O'Callaghan.
"It is unbelievable. We will be on a serious high for months and we will tear the back off it."
The 24-year-old, whose teammate and sister Síle O'Callaghan retired after the win, was watching on from inside her own half when Fitzgerald lined up the winning effort.
"When we were playing around with the ball in our 21 I was like, what is going on?" said O'Callaghan.
"I was around our 45 when I saw Noelle Healy kicking in the ball and I didn't have much hope. I wouldn't say it was something we practised in training.
"Laura did unbelievable to use her body, tap it down to herself, and it took a lot of guts for her to kick it. I know she scored a few but she wasn't having her best day of shooting either.
"Nothing was going our way but she kicked an unreal point, and that was possibly the one rub of the green we got all day, and that was the important one.
"I was in shock and looked at the clock. Did that just happen?"
It was a huge win for Mourneabbey and having suffered through the agonising defeats it proved a point too.
And O'Callaghan was thrilled to see her sister go out on a high note after a stellar career, which included Mourneabbey's All-Ireland junior title 14 years ago.
"She definitely would have been a role model for me growing up," said O'Callaghan.
"I thought she might have finished up last year but she came back for another. She tore her Achilles in 2017 so I was delighted when she did come back from it. It would have been an awful way to finish.
"She would have been out for a year with that and she got back into being an impact sub before she was starting for us this year."
O'Callaghan has two brothers: Tadhg (36) and Donal (26) and another sister, Eilís (35) along with Síle (34).
Síle O'Callaghan was formerly a member of the Cork panel and she paved the way for her younger sister who has gone on to become a fundamental part of the Cork set-up.
The county looks to be on its way back to the top, and having won 11 All-Irelands between 2005 and 2016, O'Callaghan believes its time they returned to the top table and reclaimed the Brendan Martin Cup.
They were beaten in the 2018 decider by Dublin and suffered the same fate in the final four this time around.
But O'Callaghan knows her county have all of the right ingredients to launch an assault on Mick Bohan's charges in 2020.
"We were probably a bit disappointed with how we performed in the semi-final against Dublin," said O'Callaghan.
"We are getting closer and closer to Dublin since we lost a lot of the bigger guns. Everyone is enthusiastic going into next year as well.
"Ephie coming back was good news because everyone is fond of him. He brought a lot into it when he came in. He has been with the younger crowd and we know he can bring a lot to the table.
"It was good to know we were back in good hands."

Last week, Russia's gold reserves surpassed the $100 billion mark amid news that Chinese firms were awarded contracts for the construction of a gold smelter and two refineries in Tanzania, Africa's fourth-largest gold producer.
Gold prices are continuing their confident climb, growing nearly 1.6 percent per year, and by a whopping 11 percent over the past two months, Market Watch has reported.
The possible cause? Russia and China's seemingly unquenchable thirst for the precious metal, the outlet believes.
Crispin Odey, a hedge fund manager at the UK's Odey Asset Management, said the gold rush was unexpected. "Gold should have gone down last year," he said. "It should have ended the year around $1,000 [per ounce]. Instead it was $1,200. I thought, 'Something's going on here.'"
And prices have continued to grow since, up to approximately $1,428.75 as of Tuesday trading.
With the Russian Central Bank stocking up on 96.4 tonnes of gold since January, and China buying 74 tonnes of bullion in the six months through May, the climb seems to show no signs of slowing.
Last week, the Central Bank confirmed that the country's total gold reserves had struck $100.3 billion by July 1, with 18 tonnes of the precious metal added to its stockpile in the month of June, for a total of 2,208 tonnes, amid recent efforts to dedoallarise its reserves. Russia's gold buy-up has come alongside a substantial decline in its US debt holdings, with investments now standing at a paltry $12 billion, the lowest since 2007.
According to Odey, gold is the 'natural move' for countries looking to break with the hegemony of the US dollar, and his hedge fund has invested heavily into gold despite being sceptical of the metal in the past. "You have to do what the central banks are doing," he said.
"Do China and Russia really need piles of this arcane yellow metal to break the US dollar's stranglehold on the world's financial system? Can't they just issue new currency backed by their economic output, as Europe did when it launched the euro 20 years ago? Maybe, or maybe not. But that seems to be the way they're betting," Market Watch columnist Brett Arends wrote.
Sputnik / Ilya PitalevThe Russian Central Bank
"We are at a very rare inflection point in history: the passage of economic hegemony. China's economy has already overtaken America's by one key measure [national economic output], just as America's once overtook Britain's. These periods of transition, throughout history, have been times of instability," the economics journalist added.
According to Arends, it remains to be seen whether gold prices "could send the yellow metal spiralling upward by several hundred percent" in the event of "a breakdown in the dollar's hegemony," as some bullish investors have predicted.
In any event, Russia and China's apparent willingness to continue their steady gold buy-up strategy serves as a cushion for market actors, who can profit by riding on the coattails of the state investors.
Sputnik / Igor AgeyenkoGold-bearing open pit in Russia's Amur Region.
Earlier this month, Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the US of using the dollar as a tool of pressure against other countries, and suggested that the global role of this currency should be reconsidered. Last month, Russia and China signed an agreement on increasing trade in national currencies to reduce dependence on the dollar, with total trade using this mechanism expected to rise to as much as 50 percent in the coming years.
Russian gold reserves are now the fifth-largest in the world, and quickly catching up to third and fourth place holders Italy and France, who have an estimated 2,451 and 2,435 tonnes, respectively. The US and Germany have the largest reported gold reserves, with 8,133 tonnes and 3,381 tonnes, respectively.
China, whose gold holdings topped 1,916 tonnes in May, is the sixth-largest holder of the precious metal, and has been accelerating its own bullion purchases in recent months, being the second-largest buyer of the precious metal after Russia in 2018 and 2019. Last week, Reuters reported that Tanzania, the fourth-largest gold producer in Africa after Ghana, Mali, and South Africa, had awarded Chinese companies contracts for the construction of a gold smelter and two gold refineries.

Final Painting
This is a painting I did of one of my favorite albums ever, Madvilliany. For this I used watercolors. The main skill that I used here was going from light colors to dark colors. The main art element used here is definatley value. I had to look at the album cover and paint the light colors and dark colors according to the original. The main design element is contrast. The values contrast each other for effect. The mood of this piece is greatness to me, because I get a feeling of how legendary this album is.

Basics – Dinks
- A soft shot hit on a bounce from the NVZ intended to arc over the net and land within the opposing NVZ either straight across or diagonally crosscourt.
- An effective dink arcs downward as it crosses the net, creating a more difficult shot to return than a power shot.
- Dinks that land close to the net are the most difficult to return because of the steep angle required to get the ball over the net.
- Crosscourt dinks are easier because the net is lower in the center and you can force their opponent off the court, potentially opening a hole.
- Contact the ball in front of the body with the paddle face open, using a gentle lifting (pushing) motion.
- The shot is soft and controlled with movement from the shoulder, no wrist break and minimal or no backswing to avoid overpowering the ball.
- Be patient. Continue to dink until the opponent makes a mistake. If the ball is hit too high, there is a good chance for a put-away shot.

The CPM on Sunday slammed the government over the move to open up senior-level bureaucratic posts in several departments to people, even from the private sector, and said that it was an attempt to include 'Sanghis' in the administrative ranks.
PM Narendra Modi brings a major shift in the Indian Bureaucracy and now Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) Exam is not necessary to become IAS. Central Government is inviting applications for the 10 posts of Joint Secretary through Lateral Entry at lateral.nic.in.

Candidates having expertise in areas of Revenue, Financial Services, Economic Affairs, Agriculture, Road Transport & Highways, Shipping, Environment & Forests, New & Renewable Energy, Civil Aviation and Commerce and fulfill the eligibility criteria can apply online.
This new change in bureaucracy will help in the development of the entire country as private and committed experienced people will directly become a part of the Senior Management of Central Government.
A circular issued by the Department of Personnel and Training also said, "The Government of India invites talented and motivated Indian nationals willing to contribute towards nation building to join the government at the level of Joint Secretary."
The initiative is being called lateral recruitment to senior positions in the government.
Joint secretaries report to the secretary/additional secretary in a ministry or department and are normally appointed from all India services such as the IAS, IPS, IFS and other allied services.
The move comes days after a proposal to make changes in the allocation of services to officers of the all India services after completion of the 15-week foundation course.
The applications forms are invited from 15 June 2018 to 30 July 2018. All the candidates who are willing to apply online can check the post details through the link given below:-

Have a few ingredients on hand, will intuit the recipe based on a few other blogs:
My recipe below, proportions loosely based on epicurious recipe above.
3.5 c all purpose flour
1.5 tsp baking powder
0.25 tsp baking soda
0.75 tsp salt
1 c oil
5 eggs
1/2 bottle (15.5 oz) E.D. Smith Pumpkin Maple Butter Spread (from Costco)(I don't see the product on their website, they must have it as seasonal for Thanksgiving and Christmas)
grated orange peel (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Oil and flour bundt cake pan (I'm using Nordicware).
3. Mix egg and oil. Do not overmix.
4. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in second bowl.
5. Add flour mixture to egg mixture.
6. Add the E.D. Smith Pumpkin Maple Butter Spread to the egg mixture.
7. Add the grated orange peel.
8. Pour mixture into bundt pan.
9. Bake for 60-75 min. Top will crack. Insert cake tester (I use an ice pick) to check that the cake is done.
10. Let cake cool in pan for 20-25 min.
11. Insert spatula VERY CAREFULLY around edges of bundt pan. Take a DEEP breath. Take another one. With no fear (HA!) solidly whack your bundt pan onto a rack. Cross your fingers that it comes out in one piece.
12. When cake is cool, dribble top with chocolate ganache (I had some left over, just melted it and liquefied it (by adding a little milk to it) to use it up).
NOTE: This is DELICIOUS! I had doubts about the pumpkin maple butter spread. Seriously, I had no idea what to do with the stuff or how this recipe would turn out. This recipe is PERFECT! Yum yum yum yum yum.

Our democracy is in turmoil. At stake are its method and players. The seeds of conflict, division and polarisation are being sown by the populist right. The lobbyists wield power and influence behind the political scenes. This leads to counter-pressure from the left, in which more and more movements and collectives seek dialogue and consensus. Is this how we protect our social rights? Can this counter-movement improve society without conflict? Though expertise can help, it is often synonymous with arrogance and an ivory tower mentality. Will we restore the reputation of expertise? With expert citizens as the new paradigm?
7:00 pm - Reception
7:15 - Debate 1: Consensus or conflict ?
So many people, so many opinions. Democracy it at its best when all these opinions, after rational debate, lead to social advancement. But what if it isn't possible? If one pushes harder than the other? On the other hand, is it really necessary for us all to agree? Can't we just all go about our business without confrontation? Or is a society not a society until everyone shares the same values?

8:30 - Debate 2: Experts or citizens?
A democracy has many players. Experts can be useful, but some associate them with living in ivory towers. They show little understanding. Should we reinstate the expert? And what about the growing demand from groups of residents for inclusion in the decision-making process? Can experts and citizens stand shoulder to shoulder, as equals?

Say No To B.O And Speedos
A couple of weeks ago - the kids and I were at California Adventure. We were having a great time on a very hot and sticky Southern California day... The lines were not too bad - but boy was it hot... My daughters and I were in line to go on California Screamin roller coaster and Kara, my youngest wanted to ride with me. If you have never been on this ride - I have to say it's a must do for the roller coaster fans out there... it's fast - not too bumpy - great loop - and just plain fun.. Anyway, Kara is sitting next to me and I leaned over to help her with the harness and I got a whiff of the most horrid BO - it was truly offensive... I'm thinking to myself there is no way that smell is coming from my kid - she's only eleven (11).... When we got off the ride - I lowered my head for a sniff and sure enough - it was her!!!!! Oh My Gosh - how can that be????? I am not the most discreet person - I told her she stunk.. She was offended for sure - but I told her I refused to ride with her again until she washed her stinky armpits!!! I know, I'm a mean and horrible mom..
We went to the bathroom and my kid is too embarrassed to have mom washing her pits.. So I get a couple of paper towels and tell her to go at it.. The dirty looks coming my way... I tell ya.. She is refusing to wash - so I again tell her she was stinky girl and there was no way.. I'm getting near her... seriously - it was that bad... We ended up going into a stall and I washed the stinky smelling pits - and she was fresh.. or at least not so ripe.... So I found it funny when I read an article today about an amusement park in the UK that introduced a new rule called, " Say no to B.O." no kidding..
Thorpe Park in the UK has seriously placed this rule.. Any time the temperature reaches 77F and above - the guests must keep their arms down on the rides at all times... I had to laugh out loud - but the most hilarious rule an UK amusement park had - was at Alton Towers - they banned Speedos from the the premises.. why? To protect the children of course........ So of course in my minds eye - I'm picturing a stinky guy in a speedo.... nothing could be worse!!!!

I haven't been back to Disneyland since they built the Calf. Adventure and don't like roller coasters anyway (I get sick).ReplyDelete
Still, it's funny that the have that rule in the UK, but it's probably not a bad idea, lol! Oh, and love the name of your blog!
I don't remember at what age I started wearing deodorant...I think underarm b.o. starts around the time we have our first period, right? Maybe not... I didn't think about it, by why DON'T kids get b.o. by not using deodorant?ReplyDelete
OMG too funny. Another reason to hate rollercoasters. Guess it's time for the hygiene discussion.ReplyDelete
Girls just mature so much faster! and that's not a good thing. My 13yo got deoderant last year, but it just seemed time; we weren't holding our noses yet;)ReplyDelete
LOL, I never had to wear deodorant 'cos I don't sweat!! I can't explain why but I really, really don't sweat!!ReplyDelete
I noticed the boys starting to stink it up at 11 y/o too.ReplyDelete
That is so funny re.the UK rule, they certainly don't bathe as frequently in Europe, that's for sure.
Love that UK rule.ReplyDelete
Say no to B O. We need to hang this one for the kids where I teach. Nice!!ReplyDelete
I heard Brad Pitt in an interview say he uses Baby wipes to keep fresh. I've not tried it but I wonder if it works.ReplyDelete

Nissan has finally unveiled its racer for the upcoming 2017 season of the Japanese Super GT Series – the 2017 Nissan GT-R Nismo GT500. Apparently, Nissan has made a number of design changes on its Super GT racer, seeking to repeat its feat in 2014 and 2015 when it won the championship. While Nissan failed to capture its third championship this year, it developed and designed the 2017 Nissan GT-R Nismo GT500 to enable it to recapture the crown while still abiding by the rules and regulations of the Japanese Super GT series.
The Japanese Super GT racing series has always been enjoyable and fun to watch not just because of speed and dynamics involved, but also because this competition features some of the hottest looking cars in the planet. Looking forward, the 2017 season of the Japanese Super GT is really something to look forward to because of some changes in the aero rules.
Apparently, the race cars competing in the Super GT have become too fast and too stable, and that has rendered the racing action seemingly boring. So, organizers decided to make the action more thrilling and more enjoyable -- by tweaking the regulations to compel manufacturers to reduce the downforce on their GT500 cars by 25 percent, thereby theoretically reducing cornering speeds. While this obliged carmakers to revise the looks of their racers, the apparent visual changes have resulted to better- and hotter-looking race vehicles.
Actually, Nissan is the last of the carmakers that unveiled their race cars for the 2017 season of the Japanese Super GT series. Honda and Lexus have already provided a glimpse into their GT500 race races. Honda has shown its new NSX-GT, which aimed to compensate for the 25-percent reduction in downforce through aerodynamic gains below its "design line" along its front and rear bumper as well as on the side panels. Meanwhile, the Lexus LC500 now sports a smaller rear diffuser, a shorter front splitter and a "low downforce" rear spoiler.
As for the 2017 Nissan GT-R Nismo GT500, it features less aerodynamic elements that have been a signature of GT500 cars. For instance, Nissan was able to largely reduce the downforce on the GT-R Nismo GT500 per Super GT rules by employing smaller rear diffusers. However, it is still laden with a number of aerodynamic aids like its massive rear wing, front splitter and flared wheel arches, as well as and four new front canards.
While the Nissan racer remains powered by a two-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder NR20A engine, the carmaker has increased its power output to offset the regulated decrease in downforce. In addition, Nissan improved the dynamics of the 2017 GT-R Nismo GT500 by lowering its center of gravity and optimizing its weight distribution. Styling changes include tweaks seen on the front end of the latest production version of the Nissan GT-R – with the signature "V-Motion" grille pattern now incorporated seamlessly into the car's design lines.

After reading, Things Fall Apart, we might ask what are the differences between the religions that the Ibo Clan practice, compared to a highly practiced religion, Christianity. Some of the differences are how the Ibo religion practice polytheism, belief in more then one God, and the Christians practice monotheism, belief in only one God, the creator of Heaven and Earth, his name is God. Others are, how they believe in animated Gods, which are alive and there Gods can be seen, and Christianity believes in inanimate gods, which their God is eternal.
There is a huge difference between the Ibo Clan religion and Christianity, it will be shown.
When Mr. Brown, the missionary, comes to the village of Umuofia to spread the word of God to the Ibo Clan, he met Akunna. Mr. Brown and Akunna has a conversation about their differences in religion, Akunna telling Mr. Brown that the Ibo Clan believes in one supreme God but had others that they worship, the name of their God is Chucku, because "he made all the world and not other Gods.
" Akunna also mentions to Mr. Brown that they also worship carved wood, "they tree from which it came was made by Chukwu, as indeed other minor God were" Akunna tells Mr. Brown that the Ibo religion "make sacrifices to the little gods, but when all else fails there is no one to turn to they go to Chuckw." (180)
Another God, besides the carved wood, that the Ibo worship, is the Oracle of the Hills and Caves. The Ibo believe that they must do whatever the Oracle of the Hills says, if the don't the people of the village will be punished. An example of this is when the Oracle of the Hills pronounces that Ikemefuma, the boy living with Okonkwo, need to be killed. Since the Oracle of the Hills and Caves says that it must be done, "the men of Umuofia took the boy outside the village and killed him" (57). The Ibo religion is very different from Christianity. Since Christianity only believes in one God, they don't have all of these other Gods as the people of Umuofia believed in, such as the carved wood, and the Oracle of the Hills and Caves.
Sometimes thinking that the Ibo religion would only have one or two gods, but they didn't. Included with the other Gods that they worship, there was another which was the snake known as the sacred python. When the Christian missionaries come to the village, the son of the snake priest says that he "ate and killed the sacred python" (185). The son of the snake priest was named Enoch, he did eat the sacred python, when he decided to convert to Christianity. This is one huge difference between the Ibo Clan and Christianity, of how and what they worship.
However there are some differences between Ibo and Christianity is the belief in animate Gods, and inanimate Gods. Christians have an inanimate God, which means that He cannot be seen, and Christians also believe that God is eternal. Unlike Christianity, the Ibo believe in animated Gods, which are alive and their Gods can be seen, such as the spirits. When the Ibo Clan would talk to their spirits, as when the egwugwu had emerged once again from their underground home, they saluted on another and then reappeared on the ilo (92).
The Ibo Clan Gods' emerged from underground, and that they speak to them just as humans would. Comparing that to the Christians way, is different. Christians don't believe of having spirits rise from the dead, or from the underground to come and solve problems. Christians just believe that God is number one, and that they pray to God for helping them solve problems, but not face to face as the Ibo Clan claims to do with their Gods.
Another contrast between the two religions is the practice of polygamy compared to monogamy. Polygamy is what the Ibo Clan practice, which is having many wives at one time. In Umuofia, the more wives a man had, the better, just like Okonkwo, he had three wives, and "another man in the village was a wealthy man who had three barns and nine wives with thirty children" (18). But this is all common practice for the men in Umuofia to have more then one wife. Each wife and her children would live in different huts, and the man lives by himself in his obi. In contrast, Christians practice monogamy and that's being married to one wife at a time, Christians believe that when a man and women become united in Christ, they become one.
In conclusion, Things Fall Apart portrays, social, culture, and religious aspects of Africa. Christianity and Ibo are both types of religions, but they are practiced in very different ways. A difference was the practice of polytheism, which would be the believe in more then one God and monotheism, belief in one God which is practiced by the Christians. The second difference was the Ibo worship animate Gods, unlike the Christians who worship inanimate God. In addition is that the Christians practice monogamy, being married to only one wife, and the Ibo practice polygamy, more then one wife. Here were two very different religions and practices but each had the choice of which one they wanted to follow, some stayed with the Ibo Clan religion, but others converted to Christianity, it's their choice.
