Nobody likes the idea of using a dirty foundation brush. Learn how to clean your makeup brushes with these handy tips and get that fresh-faced look.
When it comes to taking care of your skin, cleansing and moisturising aren’t the only steps to remember. If breakouts are a continuous bugbear – dirty make-up brushes could be the cause.
Regardless of the condition of your skin, you should clean your make up brushes on a regular basis in order to get rid of residual dirt and makeup, and prevent nasty germs and bacteria from spreading.
If the question “how do you clean makeup brushes?’” has been stopping you from getting the job done – you’re in luck! This guide will list all you need to know about how to clean foundation brushes, blusher brushes, eye shadow brushes, and more. So, no excuses – simply read on to find out what to do.
First, rinse your brush in lukewarm water to remove any residual foundation or make up (you might be surprised at how much comes out).
Squeeze a small amount of gentle washing up liquid, baby shampoo, or unscented soap into the palm of your hand.
Swirl the head of the brush into the soap, but don’t be too vigorous – you don’t want the brush head to lose its shape.
Under the tap, rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, avoiding the metal base of the brush. Take extra care here – bristles can loosen and break off if the glue inside becomes too wet.
Lay the brush flat on a towel and leave to dry naturally.
If you’re wondering how to clean your make-up brushes and keep them in mint condition, here are some simple tips.
Use isopropyl alcohol (usually found in good chemists) to quickly sanitise eyeshadow, foundation, and blusher brushes. Simply dilute a small amount in a small spray bottle, and keep it on hand to freshen up brushes in between deeper cleans.
Use conditioner on make-up brushes made from natural hair – this will keep the bristles super soft and ensure the quality remains as good as new.
Avoid soaking brushes with wooden handles! What’s more, hang them up to dry so that the water does not trickle down into the wood.
Don’t forget the rest of your make-up. Knowing how to clean foundation brush applicators as well as sponges and other makeup brushes is important, but you should remember to clean the rest of your make up now and again, too. This means wiping away dirt and bacteria from palettes, product lids, and not forgetting the inside of your make-up bag.
Now you’re in the know about how to clean your makeup brushes, don’t put it off any longer. Apply your makeup with complete confidence using super clean brushes.
Leave your make up brushes to dry naturally – don’t be tempted to use a hairdryer or place them on a radiator as excess heat can loosen the glue. | 2019-04-22T13:07:32 | https://www.cleanipedia.com/gb/in-the-home/how-to-clean-foundation-brushes-other-makeup-brushes.html |
Marketing himself as “The Man at Going Loud Studios” on Facebook and “Indie game developer, training wheels edition” on Twitter, a quick scan of Ben Kane’s social media reveals little to the curious creeper. The opportunity to learn more about the guy from Ottawa who was nominated for Best Indie at the 2012 Canadian Video Game Awards was given to me, a humble social media strategist, at the OIGC (Ottawa International Game Conference).
Ben started his journey at Carleton University in 2004 where he completed his B.Eng in Software Engineering in 2009. He admits that like many university and college graduates, “proactive” was not exactly a part of his wheelhouse. Ben appropriately credits his attendance at a conference with the securing of his first full-time position with EA Black Box where he worked on the Skate and FIFA franchises.
It is his movement from the big-time AAA game studios to his parents’ basement that is of particular interest to me (and my fellow audience members no doubt). In 2010, Ben became an official indie game developer and released his first project, “Zombie Accountant” on Xbox Live Indie Games in December of that same year. The relative success enjoyed by “Zombie Accountant” was responsible for Ben’s first real self-identification as an indie game developer.
Ben’s next project, “Lair of the Evildoer” was released in June 2011 and its less than stellar reception would serve as the source of many a valuable lesson. According to Ben, he began development of this game without a clear idea of what he wanted to do beforehand. Ben’s account of his work on “Lair of the Evildoer” left me with a few glaring dos and don’ts when it comes to indie game development: (1) Don’t put code to concepts that aren’t completely fleshed out yet, (2) don’t get so attached to the game that it prevents you from seeing all of the flaws, and (3) make sure you do a significant amount of external play testing before release.
His journey to indie game development more or less completed, Ben leaves the audience with a few marketing tips. First and foremost, be “googlable” (his word, not mine). Ben suggests googling yourself regularly to ensure your name appears on the first page. He also suggests getting your game footage, trailers, etc up on YouTube and utilizing its massive user base to its full potential. Ben also recommends giving gamers an exclusive build of your game and asking them to go over it.
When it comes to the press, Ben advises that you put yourself in their position before reaching out to them. They need stories that are interesting and they need them fast. Ben emphasizes the importance of making a unique pitch about your game as well as being responsive and replying quickly to those who you do manage to engage.
A screenshot of his first piece of fan mail for DLC Quest that reads “This game is awesome! :-)” betrays Ben’s modesty and reveals that despite his success, both of his feet remain firmly on the ground. Ben had me leaving the conference room with the sense that there is hope for the indie game developer. The openness with which Ben divulged his tale and the general feeling that “he’s one of us” brought to full fruition his proclaimed theme of the presentation: inspiration.

For those who have been arrested and charged with burglary in the state of Alabama, there are a handful of important things to consider, including: a charge is not a conviction and you have the right to defend yourself against any and all charges, and that if you are convicted of burglary, the penalties could be severe. As such, working with an experienced Alabama criminal defense attorney when facing criminal burglary charges is highly advised.
At the law offices of Smith & McGhee, P.C., our team of Alabama criminal defense lawyers and staff will review your case for free, and then go to work building your defense and protecting your rights. If you have been charged with burglary, do not wait a moment longer – contact our law office today to begin the process of preserving your best interests now.
What Is Burglary in Alabama?
Causes injury to another person.
Causes physical injury to another person.
Essentially, for a person to be convicted of burglary, the prosecution must prove that the person entered or remained within a dwelling or a building illegally, and that that person had the intent to commit a crime. The degree of burglary that a person may be charged with/convicted of depends upon the type of structure that was entered (i.e. building vs. dwelling) and whether the person had weapons or explosives. Keep in mind that the prosecution must only prove intent to commit a crime, and does not need to prove that the person actually committed a crime to secure a burglary conviction.
Being charged with burglary can have serious penalties if the person is convicted of the crime. A Class A felony in Alabama is penalized by an imprisonment period of at least 10 years, but not more than 99 years. The convicted person may also be required to pay a large fine. Depending upon the circumstances, the convicted person may also be required to participate in community service, serve a probationary period, and more. If the person is convicted of the less serious offense of a Class C felony burglary (burglary of the third degree), the penalty is still an incarceration period of at least one year, although not more than 10 years.
Keep in mind that no matter the length of jail time or the sum of the fee that you may be required to pay if you are charged with burglary in Alabama, a criminal conviction can have a significant effect on your life. A criminal felony conviction for burglary will show on your permanent criminal record, and may be available for future landlords, employers, and more to see. This may limit your opportunities, and make it very challenging for you to get back on your feet again.
In many cases, actual innocence is also a defense to burglary. When this is the case, we will help you to build your case, gather evidence on your behalf, and refute evidence gathered by the prosecution against you. We can also file motions to have evidence suppressed or withheld from court, ensure that your constitutional rights are protected, and negotiate with the prosecution to secure a plea bargain when a jury verdict of innocent feels impossible.

When getting ready to graduate high school or leave military duty, you are faced with the difficult decision regarding what to do next. Your parents may be pushing you to go to college, but that isn’t your only option when it comes to higher education. A four-year undergraduate program at a university will earn you a bachelor’s degree, but if you are interested in a career that doesn’t require one, you may be able to go to a trade school and earn an associate’s degree or get a certification that allows you to start working sooner.
The choice to attend a trade school or college depends on the type of person and learner you are and what you want to achieve in the future. There are several factors to consider. Cost, time in school, desired job, needed flexibility, and future salary once in a job will all play into which option is right for you. Those working to become doctors, lawyers, or any other position in which grad school is also required to get licensed will need to complete an undergraduate program before attending the next level of education for that specialty. For many other careers, trade school is a viable option.
Deciding which course of training and education is right for you requires an understanding of the differences between trade school and bachelor’s programs. Below you will find details on both, as well as answers to common questions that arise when comparing the two education options.
Aside from the length of the programs, job training and bachelor’s degrees have several key differences. A four-year undergraduate education usually includes general education courses and those specific to your major. If you aren’t certain what job you want to get after school, a bachelor’s program allows you to take a variety of classes to see where your interests and skills lie. This is a great choice for those who know what subjects they like, but aren’t sure how it will translate to their career.
Trade school programs, on the other hand, have tailored and focused education that prepares students for a particular job. People who know exactly what career they want to pursue (and it doesn’t require a bachelor’s degree) can save time and money by doing job training instead of a four-year college program. Once you determine that an occupation is the right one for you, trade schools will teach you how to perform that specific position with customized education and on-the-job training. Additionally, trade school is the perfect option for those who are looking to enter the workforce as quickly as possible to start making a decent living.
If you have access to the money and the time necessary to get a bachelor’s degree, or want the opportunity to explore different career paths, you may want to consider going to college. Unfortunately, even those who want to attend a four-year program don’t always have the means to do so, which results in acquiring an exceptional amount of debt with very slow returns. According to ProCon.org, the average amount of debt owed by college students in 2015 was $28,950, and as of June of 2016, 10 percent of graduates left school with more than $40,000 in loans. This is a big reason why trade schools and job training programs are becoming increasingly appealing to higher-education seekers.
Getting a trade school education may not earn you as much money as a bachelor’s degree in the long run, as those with a college degree can generally attain higher-paying jobs. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, on average, those with a bachelor’s degree earned $1,156 per week in 2016, while those with only an associate’s degree earned $819 per week. However, the ability to start working two years earlier and the reduced student loans that come with a two-year degree help level the playing field.
The shorter program also may be a benefit if you ever want to change your career path, as going back to school becomes more feasible, and many trade schools will offer flexible scheduling that allows you to work while doing new job training. If you like your field but want to move into a higher position, trade schools will also often provide advanced certifications for you to earn as you grow in your career.
Is Trade School or College Right for You?
While each has its advantages and drawbacks, trade school and college are both viable options for higher education. However, the high costs of college are leaving many people to look for alternative forms of education and training, making trade careers the better choice. They get you working faster in job that will always be in demand, without leaving you in unsurmountable debt.
If you are ready to set your career on the fast track and start enjoying the benefits of job training, consider Midwest Institute in St. Louis. MI offers career certification and degree programs in healthcare fields and the HVAC industry. We have two campuses to serve you, as well as options for online courses for certain careers. For more information about the trade school program that interests you, contact us, and we will get back to you as soon as possible with admission requirements. | 2019-04-24T15:51:17 | https://www.midwestinstitute.edu/blog/job-training-vs-college-degree-which-one-right-me/ |
The Oak Ridge Rowing Association hosted the Southern Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championship Regatta at the Melton Hill Lake course on April 19 and 20.
It was the 30th consecutive year that the regatta has been held in Oak Ridge.
This year, 58 teams and over 1,900 rowers participated in SIRA over the two-day event. Crews came from states as far away as Texas, Kansas, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Championships were earned in 20 events and Purdue University was the overall team winner.
"It was a very successful event that ran on time once we overcame some weather challenges," said ORRA Coach Allen Eubanks. "The level of competition at SIRA is good enough to bring teams from as distant as Philadelphia and Texas.
"They come here to compete, not only for the SIRA championship, but to get ready for the Dad Vail club national championships that will be held in May. The teams that do well here normally do well at the Dad Vail."
With the SIRA Regatta in the books, there's no rest for the weary at ORRA. This weekend the association hosts both the Oak Ridge Dogwood Regatta and the Big East Women's Championship Regatta at Melton Hill Lake.
n PHOTOS: Next week, look for a photo page highlighting the regatta season hosted by the ORRA. | 2019-04-22T10:09:16 | https://www.oakridger.com/article/20080425/NEWS/304259984 |

The church of Senegal is concerned about the physical and verbal abuse characterizing the electoral campaign by various political parties leading up to the country’s presidential elections slated to take place on the February 26, 2012 and calls for calm.
In a statement read by Jacques Aimé Sagna, secretary of the Episcopal Conference, the Church of Senegal calls for respect for constitutional law and advocate for strict adherence to the spirit and letter of the Constitution which guarantees national consensus and which ensures good governance, good management of public affairs and peace.
The church also tasked the national electoral body to take all the necessary measures to ensure that voting takes place regularly and that all stakeholders, at all levels, demonstrate a sense of patriotism, a sense of fairness and impartiality without fault, to avoid post-election protests which result in violence with unpredictable consequences. | 2019-04-25T20:17:35 | http://africanelections.org/new_news.php?nid=428 |

In this little blog post, I am going to hand over to one of our newest Fairy Friends, Rachel-Jayne (aka Mumma Murray). In her magical Fairy Door unboxing she is going to show you exactly what's in the Fairy Nice box! She's also going to share with you exactly why she is delighted to become a Fairy friend.
Wasn't that just lovely! I think it's so nice to hear from our Fairy Friends, what it is actually like to receive one of our beautiful Fairy Doors. And I very much enjoyed the cameo appearance from sweet Georgia.
The Fairy Door that Rachel-Jayne received was our Winter Pink, NEW for 2018.
This is a simply stunning Fairy Door with beautiful pink, grey and silver blooms and soft white feathers across the door frame. It has a working door knocker, a letterbox, and of course, our signature crystal door knob.
Rachel-Jayne showed you the tiny Fairy Key and personalised letter that the Fairies included with their gift. Each of our Fairy Doors come with this little letter. We believe it helps to create a beautiful bond between your little one and their new Fairy friend.
I'm absolutely thrilled by how excited Rachel-Jayne is to be a member of our Secret Fairy Circle. This is a wonderful space where we share all our Fairy Magic with Mummas wanting to create magical adventures for their little ones.
Inside you will find oodles of inspiration, advice and secret tips and tricks. Plus you have unlimited accesses to our eBooks and our printable Fairy letters.
Membership of our Secret Fairy Circle is FREE with any of our beautiful Fairy Doors or Elf Doors. But, as Rachel-Jayne says, you can also purchase lifetime membership without a door. | 2019-04-18T18:43:32 | https://www.fairynicetrading.com/mumma-murray-fairy-door-unboxing/ |
Everyone experiences loss at some point, but despite how universal grief is, we don’t spend much time talking about all the ways it changes us. While basic ideas about the forms grief takes, such as the five stages model, are well known, many people experiencing the death of a loved one may be surprised by just how deep the effects of grief can ripple through our brains, bodies, and lives.
A grieving brain has increased activity in the areas that process pain. That, of course, is expected. What’s surprising about grief’s impact on the brain is that, for some people, the pain is accompanied by activity in the brain’s reward-processing centers. This is most often seen with complicated grief, a type of prolonged grief that interferes with everyday life. Scientists surmise that this activity represents an addiction to yearning for the lost loved one.
Grief may also affect your brain through increased cortisol levels. Cortisol is a hormone that becomes elevated in times of stress, and if it remains high — like during extended grief — it can lead to depression and anxiety. It does this by shrinking the parts of your brain that regulate emotions and memories, and growing areas that control emotional responses like pleasure and fear. Even if you don’t develop depression or anxiety, you may notice the effects of cortisol in a reduced inability to concentrate and poor memory function.
Grief affects more than your brain; it can impact your physical health as well. Beyond the symptoms of disrupted sleep patterns, changes in appetite, and chronic fatigue, grief can actually weaken your immune system, increase your blood pressure, and intensify physical pain. So when you’re grieving, you’re actually more susceptible to getting sick, and existing illnesses may be worsened. Grieving may also increase the risk of heart attack, especially in elderly people.
So how do you grieve and retain your health? While heightened stress is inevitable after you’ve lost someone close, there are things you can do to mitigate its effects on your mind and body.
You may find eating difficult when you’re grieving, but it’s important to take care of your body to reduce the health impacts of grief. Stress may drive you to eat fatty and sugary foods, but junk food can actually worsen your body’s stress response. Keep a supply of convenient, healthy foods so that you can eat well even when you’re not up for cooking.
Sleep, but not too much. Grief and depression can simultaneously make it difficult to sleep and make you want to sleep all of the time. Practice good sleep hygiene to facilitate sounder sleep, and try listening to guided imagery recordings if negative thoughts are keeping you awake. But don’t let yourself sleep all day — establish a morning routine that gives you motivation to get out of bed and start your day.
Don’t dwell on reminders. There’s nothing wrong with reminiscing over photographs and memories of your loved one, but if you find yourself becoming preoccupied with thinking of the deceased or unable to part with trivial belongings, you probably need to step back.
Exercise is an excellent way to relieve tension, reduce stress, and sleep better. Virtually any form of exercise, from gentle yoga to marathon running, will burn off excess cortisol and release mood-boosting endorphins.
Find Support. Whether you turn to friends who can lend an ear, a religious community, or a grief support group, it’s important to cultivate a social network when you’re dealing with the effects of grief. In fact, social support is correlated with decreased cortisol levels, lower blood pressure, and reduced risk of anxiety and depression.
If you feel unable to cope despite your best efforts, connect with a mental health professional. Grief can have lasting impacts on your mental and physical health, and it’s important to have every tool available to grieve your loss in the healthiest way possible.

Manufacturing procedures and their impact on glass morphology will be covered. A variety of natural sources of glass will be introduced, and their characteristic morphologies studied.
Refractive index measurements will be treated in detail, including immersion using dispersion staining and variation of both temperature and wavelength. Scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray analysis will be used for semi-quantitative elemental analysis of glass fragments.
Advantages and limitations of the method will be determined, with an emphasis on the reliability of the data and the interpretations. Given the data from the light and electron microscopy, the added value of other analytical methods will be considered. | 2019-04-24T16:27:27 | http://mccroneinstitute.org/v/1006/Forensic-Microscopy-of-Glass-1712 |

Art is wonder for the eyes and is a great tool to open ourselves to intuition and channel universal energy.
All installations will be made in complete sustainability, without any use of cement, chemical materials, or causing damage to the soil and vegetation, and this year we have embraced the project to create the main structures of the festival only through the use of waste wood. | 2019-04-18T18:16:08 | https://www.7chakrasfestival.org/art-village/ |
KHAOSAN ROAD: A foreigner was killed by a bus Thursday morning on Phra Sumen Road in Bangkok’s old quarter.
Police were alerted just after 9am that an air-conditioned bus No. 516 had run over a Caucasian man near the Bang Lamphu intersection. The man’s identity and nationality were not yet available.
A witness said the man had been walking back and forth across the road many times this morning before he laid down on the road just as the bus was coming, according to Capt. Rattakarn Thongthai of Chana Songkram police.
Police found both Thai baht and euros in his possession.
Investigating officers were questioning the driver and witnesses. | 2019-04-19T07:04:34 | https://www.pattayaone.news/traffic-suicide-khaosan-road/ |

Concrete and Gold follows the Foo Fighters' 2014 album Sonic Highways and their 2015 follow-up EP, Saint Cecelia. The band recorded the new album at Hollywood's EastWest Studios with contemporary pop stalwart Greg Kurstin, who has worked with Adele, Sia, Pink and more. Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl said he became a fan of Kurstin through his indie pop duo, the Bird and the Bee, and thought his pop pedigree would create an interesting challenge for the Foo Fighters. | 2019-04-26T06:38:55 | https://www.srcvinyl.com/foo-fighters-concrete-and-gold-2xlp.html |
The European Central Bank kicked off its corporate bond-buying program today and investors applauded the move by driving the euro above 1.1400. While this reaction may be counterintuitive especially as Eurozone corporate bond yields dropped to its lowest level in more than a year, their aggressive start gave investors hope that this additional stimulus plus the TLTRO program beginning on June 22nd will be effective in stimulating inflation and growth in the economy. After hitting a record low, 10-year German bund yields also rebounded and this recovery on a day when Treasury yields declined helped to drive EUR/USD higher. No Eurozone economic reports were released today but Germany’s current account and trade balance is scheduled for release on Thursday. ECB President Draghi also speaks in Brussels in the morning and with the recent appreciation in the currency he may feel compelled to remind the market of their dovish monetary policy bias. If EUR/USD breaks 1.1400 in a more meaningful way it will be headed for the April high at 1.1465.
The U.S. dollar traded lower against all of the major currencies today except for the British pound, which gave up earlier gains to end the day lower against the greenback. The volatility in sterling is tied to Brexit uncertainty and had nothing to do with the market’s appetite for U.S. dollars. The weakness of the dollar, decline in Treasury yields and rise in stocks tell a consistent story of pared back expectations for Fed tightening. Fed fund futures are pricing in 0% chance of tightening this month and only 20% chance of tightening in July. At this stage, the Fed may opt for September when there is a press conference but the timing of the U.S. election complicates that decision. Either way there are fewer traders looking for a summer rate hike and their shift in expectations has and should continue to keep the dollar under pressure. With that in mind, USD/JPY is struggling to extend its losses ahead of next week’s monetary policy announcement.
Another day another rollercoaster ride for sterling, which climbed as high as 1.4600 only to end the day near 1.4500. U.K. data was very strong with industrial production rising 2% in April and the NIESR GDP estimate rising to 0.5% for the month of May. Manufacturing production grew at its fastest pace since 2012 and the improvement is consistent with the pickup reported in the PMI manufacturing index. The trade balance is scheduled for release tomorrow and given the recent reports, the risk is to the upside. However just like today, the market may overlook the data and choose to focus on Brexit headlines. According to UK Finance Minister Osborne, Turkey will not be joining the European Union, which should encourage voters to Remain because Turkish migration is viewed as a threat. However for the time being sterling traders have largely ignored the report.
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand left interest rates unchanged this afternoon, which was right in line with expectations. However based on the sharp rally in the currency, traders were clearly positioned for a rate cut. We’re a bit surprised considering that New Zealand’s economy mostly saw improvements since April but nonetheless the market’s reaction was strong. While the RBNZ said NZD strength is holding down tradables inflation and that further easing may be required, their upward revision to 2016 and 2017 inflation forecasts suggest that they are not really concerned about low inflation and in fact they are probably more concerned about rising house prices. Easing is done for the time being down under and so far the recent appreciation of commodity currencies hasn’t worried central bankers in the region.
Last night’s Chinese trade numbers still proved to be net positive for the Australian and New Zealand dollars. While the trade surplus increased less than expected, imports dropped only -0.4% compared to a forecast of -6.8%. China is an important trading partner for both Australia and New Zealand and while this includes exports and imports, their growth hinges on Chinese demand – that’s why both currencies soared on the back of the Chinese trade report. China’s steel imports also increased 3.7%, a sign that their demand for hard commodities and raw materials could finally be recovering. No Australian economic reports will be released this evening but Chinese inflation numbers are on the calendar.
USD/CAD fell for the fourth consecutive trading day on the back of rising oil prices. Economic data from Canada continued to disappoint with housing starts rising less than anticipated and building permits falling. Between the deterioration in manufacturing activity and now the housing market – we are seeing a major misalignment between the performance of the economy and the currency. Higher oil prices will contribute to growth but its positive impact will be limited by the recent appreciation of the currency. | 2019-04-19T06:54:48 | http://www.bkassetmanagement.com/featured/euro-hits-1-14-nzd-soars-after-rbnz_9609 |

Kudos to Elementos Ltd who have steadily and positively been making progress in opening up a new tin mine near Waratah in the north west and have now pledged to employ 200 locals when full operation gets underway by 2021.
THE owners of a new tin operation near Waratah have promised locals will be given priority to fill the 200 jobs created when underground production begins in six years’ time.
Elementos Ltd will start work cleaning up old tailings at the historic Cleveland tin mine in 2017 in an operation that will employ about 30 people.
An open pit operation will be developed the year after before mining moves underground in 2021 and the workforce is boosted to 200.
Elementos CEO Tim McManus said there were enough houses in Waratah to accommodate a new workforce and that people from the West Coast town, and then the broader Burnie area, would be given first priority when positions were filled.
The operation, which will clean up pollution left by past mining activity, has the support of Save the Tarkine.
“This will be a 20-year project and we are keen to see people move to Waratah when we are in full swing,” Mr McManus said.
The company has had early talks with the State Government but there is no indication yet if it will be offered a royalties holiday or other deal sweetener.
The Government offered Avebury Nickel Mines up to $3.5 million and a royalties holiday to help secure its purchase of the mine near Zeehan. The deal later fell through but the offer is still on the table for any other prospective owner.
“Of course a royalties holiday would be most welcome but we do not need it to get going,” Mr McManus said.
Resources Minister Paul Harriss said he was pleased to see Elementos Ltd progressing work on the Cleveland site.
“The company is now going through the process of updating the pre-feasibility study for the tailings dam and have completed a scoping study for open-cutting the top of the orebody, with the project being assessed under the bilateral agreement between the Commonwealth and Tasmanian governments,” Mr Harriss said. | 2019-04-24T23:54:38 | http://41st-tasminerals.azurewebsites.net/news/news/waratah-mine-owners-pledge-200-jobs-for-tassie-locals-the-mercury-reports/ |
American singer-songwriter Ashanti has claimed that RnB music has been marginalised on the radio.
Ashanti thinks RnB music has been marginalised on the radio.
The 37-year-old singer-songwriter released her self-titled debut album back in 2002, when the genre dominated the airwaves, but Ashanti now feels it's increasingly difficult for RnB stars to achieve mainstream recognition.
Ashanti is poised to release her first album since 2014's 'Braveheart', and she's promised her loyal fans that it'll ultimately prove to be worth the wait.
Meanwhile, Ashanti previously claimed that social media has transformed the music industry.
She said, too, that at the height of her popularity, she was probably working harder than the emerging artists of today.
Ashanti explained: ''When my first album came out, we didn't have Twitter or Instagram. If I had been able to tweet where I was, taking jets here and there, performing in Monaco, the clothes and the cars - it would have been very different. Technology changes and the sound changes.
''I feel like there was a lot more work we had to put in back then. When you were recording in the studio, you really had to record eight tracks to get harmonies. | 2019-04-19T10:40:59 | http://www.contactmusic.net/ashanti/news/ashanti-says-rnb-music-has-been-marginalised_5888696 |

Welcome to the American International School • Vienna, the oldest English-instruction international school in Austria, with students from Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 12. We have about 790 students representing over 60 countries, with at least 120 students with dual nationalities.
AIS Vienna, founded in 1959, has a colorful and fascinating story that has been shaped by the thousands of families, teachers, and staff that have been part of our community for close to six decades. We continue to evolve and develop as we say goodbye to and welcome almost 200 students yearly.
Every family has a story to tell and a reason for coming to AIS Vienna. At least half of our students belong to diplomatic and multinational expat families expecting to live in Austria for only a few years and thereafter go back home or move to yet another new country. Many of our international families have also chosen Austria as their new home. A significant number of Austrian families have returned after living abroad for a long time, while many families from the local community wish to prepare their children for higher education, a career, or a life abroad.
Our core values - to Nurture, Include, Challenge, and Respect - define who we are as a school and community. We encourage you to read through our website to learn more about our programs and services. We would be happy to share our story with you and learn more about your family’s story.

Nicoya Peninsula, Guanacaste and Puntarenas provs., W Costa Rica, separating the Pacific Ocean from the Gulf of Nicoya. About 75 mi (120 km) long and 19–37 mi (30–60 km) wide, it is Costa Rica's largest peninsula. The Pacific coast possesses many fine beaches and is a popular resort area. The town of Nicoya, probably the first Spanish settlement (c.1530) in Costa Rica, is a transportation and commercial center for the peninsula. The peninsula is linked to the mainland by highway and by ferry.

Anticipating doom: what can László Krasznahorkai’s novels tell us about the refugee crisis?
When the writer László Krasznahorkai said on Hungarian television two years ago that Hungary has been “showing its uglier face” over the past 25 years, it was something of a surprise. This wasn't due to Krasznahorkai putting a provocative gloss on recent history. The surprise was that he was directly commenting on still-unfolding events, compared to the detachment he maintains in his work. Yet this seeming disembodiment from the facts on the ground paradoxically results in greater emotional intensity and tempts readers to reach for connections that the writer himself disavows consciously planting in his work.
Indeed there is something prophetic in Krasznahorkai's work, a sense that the already vulnerable world may at any moment come undone, may fall apart like a fighter's face in the late rounds after one blow too many. Though it's a mistake to single out a particular work and portray it as, say, pure political allegory, his work offers a moody, impressionistic vision of Hungary approaching the millennium, a series of hints and glimmers, gleanings from the mood in the air.
“You will never go wrong anticipating doom in my books, any more than you'll go wrong in anticipating doom in ordinary life,” Krasznahorkai says, and in the past year or two, the anticipation of doom has grown in Hungary. The arrival on the continent of refugees from Syria heightened fears ranging from the clash of cultures to the prospect of terrorism taking root, either by way of the new arrivals or their subsequent generations.
Shut your gates tight, and plug up the cracks, put up the beams and bring out the barbed wire, and protect yourselves from all sides, but know that you lock up in vain, you plug in vain, you raise beams in vain and you wrap wire in vain, for that chink, that groove, that crevice which would be an obstacle for me does not exist; but it is just for that reason that you should barricade your gates and board up your windows, brick up your windows and protect yourselves, because I will break out, and I will arrive, and of course lock up your children as well, and of course arm yourselves with many weapons, and organize your defence, and station the security guards, pull up the cordon and put the land mines in place, just go ahead and do it, just get ready, but whatever you do against me is in vain…because I am coming, one day I will be here, maybe not in one form, but immediately in two or three, or in four, one day I shall come, and I shall lacerate your faces, because I am ruin.
It's natural to long for security, for reassurance in the face of a threat; perhaps an amorphous threat, one ill-considered and dimly understood, more often invites a saviour of some kind, in this case a strongman in the guise of Orbán. Krasznahorkai recognises this dynamic in Satantango, when a mere handful of residents remaining on a failed collective farm face their dim prospects. Irmias, who they've all thought dead, will chart a better course. He has certain rhetorical gifts, after all, and it's not as if they have the wherewithal to lift themselves out of the mess in which they've landed. They fail to even imagine his self-interest — he's little more than a state informant — and he sets about fleecing them, all while they look to him for guidance. Faced with doubts that the farm's inhabitants own enough to make the fleecing worth the effort, Irmias assures his compatriot that, “peasants always have something”.
Hungary is not genteel, nor are the questions so simple. However phrased the referendum question, the rhetoric comes down to: do you want to be murdered in your beds? Do you want your town taken over by rabid Islamists? Do you want your women to be molested and raped? Do you want foreigners to take your jobs? And, of course – and here it chimes particularly well with our own referendum – do you want bureaucrats in Brussels telling you, the proud (Hungarian/British) people, what to do?
More than 98% of those who voted chose not to accept the EU's migrant quotas, yet abstention from voting by over half of the population invalidated the referendum on constitutional grounds. Perhaps a portion of the body politic of any country can be roused to antipathy, and once roused, the way back to tolerance is a ragged path. Despite the failed referendum, Orbán submitted a constitutional amendment to ban the resettlement of refugees in Hungary. Members of the opposition Jobbik party refused to vote on the first iteration of the amendment. They sought to stiffen the restrictions still further, to do away with a provision allowing immigrants to buy residency rights. The fate of the amendment, and more significantly, the refugees it seeks to exclude, remains unsettled.
Now I’m sitting facing the vacant lot, and hearing the hours go by. You lose one home after another, I say to myself. Here I am, sitting with my wanderer’s staff. My feet are sore, my heart is tired, my eyes are dry. Misery crouches beside me, ever larger and ever gentler; pain takes an interest, becomes huge and kind; terror flutters up, and it doesn’t even frighten me anymore. And that’s the most desolate thing of all. | 2019-04-22T04:57:19 | https://www.calvertjournal.com/articles/show/7274/laszlo-krasznahorkai-satatango-refugees-orban |
Right now there are no Payday Advances listed in Greentree Village, New Jersey.
Payday Advances in Greentree Village, NJ: Here are a few things to consider before taking a payday loan in Greentree Village NJ.
Naturally when getting a payday advance there are many points to think of. Listed below are 10 of the issues we think are significant.
1. Make sure that you have accessibility to your latest employment pay-stubs along with your checking account details.
2. Not sufficient funds charges and even bounced check service charges will build up fast and can be pretty pricy, so be mindful not to overshoot your funds whenever taking out a cash advance.
3. Get going stashing an "unexpected emergency" savings fund of, approximately, $500. This way, you can avoid cash advances later on.
4. Make sure to try and pay back your payday loan completely when it is due without going past the due date.
5. In the case that you don't understand how you can save and budget your funds, then you may need to debt counselling in order to lessen the need for payday advance loans later on.
6. Definitely look into other cash advance companies before you take a payday loan or cash advance. Take into account relatives, close friends, your credit union, a local bank , even a credit card.
7. Make sure that you are aware precisely whenever that your payday advance loan or cash loan is scheduled to be paid and know the mandatory guidelines to pay off that payday advance punctually.
8. In case you feel that you have been handled unfairly or illegally by any particular payday advance loan or cash loan lender, you may enter a grievance with your state department.
9. Undertake a reputation check on the firm you're considering working with for the payday advance service. You may do this by checking the BBB or other Rating bureaus.
10. Pay day loans have a ton of small print at the lowest part of the agreement. Make sure you read and understand everything written prior to signing. | 2019-04-23T18:26:15 | http://new-jersey.paydayadvancesreviewed.com/greentree-village-payday-advances/ |
MOTOR vehicle licence renewals can be done at both the Kimberley Post Office on the Market Square as well as the Pescodia Post Office in Eagle Street in Roodepan.
Long queues at the Kimberley Post Office, which is now issuing motor vehicle licences as well as paying social grants, have caused frustration among city residents.
The spokesperson for the provincial Department of Transport, Safety and Liaison, Keitumetse Moticoe, said yesterday that the department had noted with concern, during monitoring of the service, the need to better capacitate some post offices to enable communities to access the service far more efficiently.
Moticoe added that as part of an ongoing process, depending on the numbers of the population, the service points in the respective post offices may be increased, and necessary monitoring will continue, to ensure that the community derives the convenience envisioned with the relocation of the service.
“We have also noted the post office’s increased pressure during the grant-payments period and, as part of our discussions with the management of Sapo, we have requested the post office to also look into the matter as to ensure that services are not disrupted. | 2019-04-19T12:50:42 | https://www.dfa.co.za/news/more-service-points-to-cut-post-office-queues-17408116 |
EHT Traceries, a local architectural history firm hired by the Board of Directors of the Capitol Hill Restoration Society, has endorsed incorporation of two areas into the Capitol Hill Historic District and on March 8, and is likely to endorse a third.
On January 19, the firm made a public presentation on their survey of the near-Northeast area lying just outside the historic district. This was the second of three presentations, all part of the Society’s Beyond the Boundaries program, which “seeks to promote the appreciation of neighborhood history and support historic preservation efforts outside the boundaries of the Capitol Hill Historic District.” The project is funded by a settlement reached several years ago with the Louis Dreyfuss Property Group (some $83,000), as mitigation for the demolition of twelve historic buildings in the way of the new Dreyfuss development between H and G and 2nd and 3rd Streets, NE,.
The near-Northeast survey included the area adjacent to the H Street commercial corridor, roughly between 2nd and 15th Streets, and from H to F Streets, NE.
In the presentation, Traceries presented a strong case for inclusion of an almost four block area adjacent to the north boundary of the Historic District – bounded by 2nd and 4th and F and H Streets, NE – though only parts of the blocks fronting H Street commercial corridor would be included.
“…the expanded area most closely parallels the late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century development of Capitol Hill and especially the progression of the squares that form the northern boundary of the current Capitol Hill Historic District.
Traceries notes that their survey is limited to the architecture, allowing for understanding neighborhood development. The firm recommends completion of all survey phases and that a historic context study be prepared before any final recommendation is made for extending the Capitol Hill Historic District.
Similarly, on November 10, 2010, in a public presentation on a survey of the area outside the Historic District to the Southeast, bounded by East Capitol and L Streets and 13th and 19th Streets, SE, Traceries noted their study allowed for an understanding of neighborhood development but not the historic context. “Thus it is recommended that a historic context study be prepared before any recommendations for an historic district can be made.
The aforementioned historic context study incorporation for both the Northeast and Southeast survey areas will be done in March 2011.
The third and final Traceries presentation will focus on the Northeast area between 15th and 19th Streets and Benning Road and East Capitol Street. Rosedale lies within these boundaries and the upcoming March 8th presentation will be co-sponsored by the Rosedale Citizens’ Alliance and CHRS. If past is precedent, it’s likely the presentation will include an endorsement for extending the Historic Distract to encompass part or all of this area.
The meeting will be on Tuesday, March 8, 2011, from 6:15pm – 8:00pm at the Rosedale Recreation Center, 500 19th Street, NE.
PDF versions of both the previous presentations are on the CHRS website at http://www.chrs.org.
You can’t put a price on the historic buildings in our neighborhoods!
Oh hold on … I guess you can. It’s $83,000. Hypocrites.
There are enough homes, buildings and blocks deemed “historic” and now protected from alterations. There is NO need to expand the Capitol Hill historic district any further.
I completley disagree. Capitol Hill is a small geographical area and it is important to preserve the asethetic look and feel of its old glory. The fact that demographics change, that tastes change, that functions change, or even that some of the old buildings may represent institutionalized hatred to older neighborhood residence who lived through segregation does not matter! Expand the historic disctrict so we can stop insensitive property owners who would alter the aesthetic of their own property to my detrmite at bay! I’m the one who has to look at their houses anyway, they live inside and rarely look at their own facades.
Thanks but no thanks, CHRS. The Capitol Hill Historic District is quite large enough already. Please MYOB.
I am curious about the Hines School area. Will it be a school again? When will the project begin? This year? Next year? It would help us to see where we can visualize.

Confrontations don't always lead to conflicts. The way you approach a situation almost always determines how it will play out. When something bothers you, talk about it, don't complain about it. When you come of as sincerely trying to resolve a grievance, the other party will take notice of it and hence lead to a peaceful resolution. If that isn't the case, drop the fool because only a fool refuses correction. Talk to the person in a manner that you'd like to be spoken to as well. | 2019-04-24T21:49:51 | https://us.ivoox.com/es/episode-32-tuesday-choose-day-4-audios-mp3_rf_32458944_1.html |
Even simple cell phone conversations can cause distracted driving. Researchers have found listening on the phone while driving creates a lag in the mind to extract itself from one object before fixing attention on another object. Photo by Justin Torner.
The experiments mimic a scenario in which a driver is using a cell phone or having a conversation with a passenger, says Shaun Vecera, professor in the UI Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences and corresponding author on the paper, published online June 5 in the journal Psychonomic Bulletin and Review. Vecera completed some of the work while a fellow at the UI’s Obermann Center for Advanced Studies.
There’s little dispute cell phone use—whether texting or talking—is hazardous for drivers. The U.S. National Highway Safety Administration reports that in 2015, 3,477 people were killed and 391,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving drivers engaged in cell phone conversations, texting, and other distractions.
That’s why a growing number of states—Iowa included—have either limited or banned some uses of a cell phone while driving. | 2019-04-25T11:49:37 | https://now.uiowa.edu/2017/06/ui-study-explores-why-cell-phone-use-leads-distracted-driving?utm_source=UIhomepage&utm_medium=news&utm_campaign=cellphonestudy |

1. We don’t need to use scanning until there is a problem.
The opposite is actually true. You need to use laser scanning proactively at the very beginning of a project – even before RFP’s go out. By scanning early in the process, potential bidders can have more information to provide a more accurate proposal for their services. The less “unknowns” a subcontractor has, the less “fluff” or contingency they need to build into their proposal. In addition, potential issues can be uncovered long before the design is implemented in the field, potentially saving exponentially over the cost of scanning. Scanning can also reduce site visits and loss of production due to being in the field instead of working on design or other aspects of the project.
2. Scanning is too expensive.
In reality, it’s too expensive NOT to use laser scanning. It is true that the cost of laser scanning comes at the front end of a project instead of the end, but it can pay dividends. Scanning can help eliminate possible change orders and delays related to unknowns that could have been identified with scanning early in the design process, before changes become costly. All too often we hear clients say, “If only we would have used scanning on this project….” Unfortunately, hindsight’s 20/20. In other words, you never really know how much laser scanning would have saved you until it’s too late.
3. All point clouds are created equal.
Many factors determine the quality of the point cloud data, including the type of scanning equipment and workflow used; the Scan Technician’s expertise regarding knowing how many scans are appropriate, as well as where and what to scan; and the scanning resolution used.
4. The point cloud is useless.
On the contrary, the point cloud is a very rich and powerful tool and, in fact, can be a very cost-effective way of working with laser scanning. Since the point cloud contains everything the scanner was able to “see,” it is a more complete “picture” of the entire site; a model, on the other hand, only contains those items that are specifically modeled – and those are only an interpretation of the point cloud. The point cloud, however, is reality.
5. Modeling is too expensive.
It is true that a significant portion of the cost of scanning can be in the modeling, but it does not always have to be. One of the reasons this myth exists is because often times clients tell service providers that they want “everything” modeled when, in reality, they only need a small area or certain specific features modeled. For example, there is no reason to model every piece of steel in a building or every ½” pipe and conduit when the client may only need the steel of a particular platform or no conduit at all and only pipes that are greater than 2”. Some minor tweaks to the scope of the modeling can radically change the price of the modeling services.
6. You have to have a model in order to use the data.
In reality, most projects do not need a model. In fact, many deliverables--such as clash detection, floor flatness analysis, prefabrication, wall plumbness, and orthoimages--are actually extracted directly from the point cloud. In addition, some 2D drawings (floorplans, elevations, framing plans, reflective ceiling plans) can also use the point cloud directly instead of needing to do line work by plotting the point cloud directly on the drawing, and it can even be used for construction documents. | 2019-04-23T22:02:16 | https://www.truepointscanning.com/laser-scanning-misconceptions |
My life isn’t Perfect, and I am fine with that!
I spend my evenings usually rummaging through books in a public library or some old bookstore.
I just love the smell, feel and touch of the books. I just love everything about them. Books give wings to my imagination. I can just be whatever I want, I can be that woman in a faraway land in the midst of pine trees and butterflies, or I can be that sassy and assertive woman in high heels with Chanel bag. Or I can be that woman making history in the courtroom or a countryside woman tending my kitchen garden.
My habit of reading story books in my childhood culminated into reading fiction in my adulthood.
Reading about all the fanciful ideas and characters helped me escape my reality or my stressful and sometimes boring and unexciting life situations and circumstances.
Ok, this was little too much about my reading habits.
I wanted to write about how we sometimes we imagine that we want to live the life of others.
At every stage of my life, I have found people living the life I longed for. I always managed to come across someone who I think leads a perfect life. Their job, their clothes, their personality, there is always something about them that I admire and makes me live their life.
When was studying to become a teacher, I wanted to be a successful lawyer because I heard a famous woman lawyer giving an inspiring and powerful speech.
When I was taking my law entrance exam, I wanted to be a professor because I liked the way my professor was dedicated to the world of ideas and knowledge.
When I was doing my research thesis, I wanted to deliver a killer presentation to some high worth client in a big corporation. I am sure I must have read some article in a glossy magazine about some prominent corporate executive.
A few months ago I wanted to be successful author whom I started following (not stalking) on social media.
Her social media images, made me fell in love with the idea of being her. Everything is so perfect in her life; her countryside villa; her chic clothes; her perfect family vacation and in comparison what did I have, a dull and dismal life.
Life always presented a web of million possibilities and million directions for me to choose from. I tried a bit of everything but could not stay long in one job or profession because I lacked passion. The reason being I always wanted to live the life of others.
I never made the career or life goals that were true to my beliefs and aligned with my life circumstances. I thought the safest path is to follow others and be like them. This worked for a short while but backfired ultimately affecting not just my career but also personal and professional relationships.
As I years passed by, my dissatisfaction with life also grew. Life was just withering away like dead leaves. I got more and more stressed out and anxious about my future. I had multiple filters and ideas for a perfect life, and none of them were my own. I was tired of living in a fantasy world where everything was perfect and achievable.
Tired of aspiring for a conversation worthy life and failing miserably at it, I left it all one day. No, I didn’t run away to the Himalayas or went in hiding somewhere. I instead tried to redefine the meaning and purpose of life which was genuine and authentic to myself.
I realized it is better to face and accept my strengths and weaknesses and then redesign my life. And when I did this, all conflicts dropped, and I was no more divided. My life is no more picture or conversation-worthy, but it’s truthful. The process of rediscovering and redesigning is nowhere complete. I am still trying to become myself. But its surely a very liberating and exhilarating process. I now look at people and interpret events more objectively and rationally rather than emotionally. I am trying to pick up pieces and rebuild from scratch with new priorities and zest.
Now I have a life of my own which I understand, and it’s not perfect. Its real, still uncertain, messy but it’s my own.
It’s time to get home!

Quittance Legal Services (QLS) is a nationwide network of specialist personal injury solicitors that assists injured people in Coventry, West Midlands and throughout the UK, recover injury compensation.
In the last 12 months, we have helped hundreds of people across the West Midlands get compensation for a range of accidents and injuries, including industrial disease and car accidents.
Local medical centres, home visits (if required) and a team of experts only a phone call away, mean making a claim is as clear and straightforward as possible.
You will be in contact with your solicitor for a long period of time, from months for minor injuries to over a year for matters involving serious injury. The SRA are responsible for regulating legal advice given by all solicitors, however they do not regulate many factors that matter to claimants, such as quality of service or speed of communication.
Considering the effect your solicitor can have on your recovery, choosing a lawyer to fit your requirements is vital.
The disparity in the level of insurance premiums and success fees between lawyers is significant.
For instance the amount of compensation retained by a claimant having been awarded ?43,873 for back injuries causing chronic permanent symptoms can vary from ?26,324 to ?37,292.
Do I need to select a local Coventry solicitor ?
Going for a local law firm is not especially important as cases are handled without the need to meet the solicitor.
It is however necessary to choose a solicitors practice that offers medical facilities near you as you will usually be expected to attend an independent medical examination.
Service levels provided by solicitors, as with any service, can vary.
Online personal injury solicitor reviews can be informative when contemplating which lawyer to sign up with. | 2019-04-23T06:30:57 | https://www.quittance.co.uk/personal-injury-solicitors/coventry |

Warm Weather Getaway Must Haves | All Under $25!
Lately, it seems all of my friends have planned some sort of spring warm weather getaway – some are going to Cuba (!!!), some to Africa, some simply staying within the US to warmer climates. No matter where your spring travels may take you, it’s always smart to save a little cash on your outfit picks. I rounded up 10 warm weather getaway must haves all under $25 (plus a couple extra beauty items) to make sure you look awesome on a budget. Get your suitcase ready… here we go!
I stumbled across this website recently, SheIn.com, which has amazingly affordable, insanely trendy styles and although it reminded me of other affordable retailers, I REALLY appreciated their return policy. So often, with these affordable sites, sizes can vary so it’s hard to know what will fit right and you may have to try multiple sizes in each piece. SheIn has a no questions asked policy and I can’t wait for my first order to arrive. Here are some of my top picks for warm weather getaway essentials under $25!
I’m really loving dresses again this season. They’re just so easy! You can’t go wrong with a cutout gray sweater to throw over anything if it gets chilly at night, and the hat is a quintessential travel item. Once you find the one that fits you best, you’ll fall in love! I also love traveling with an efficient makeup bag and this one is perfect with the brush holders included.
As for beauty items, you MUST try Charlotte Tilbury’s Super Model Body! It is a transfer-resistant gorgeous Gisele-in-a-bottle glow that provides a slimming and highlighting effect. Apply down the center of the legs, shoulders, and collarbone and be prepared to get some extra attention 😉 For on-the-go, effortlessly polished hair, I’ve been loving my amika straightening brush. It smooths my hair just enough to maintain just-blown-out volume yet keeps it from looking like a frizzy mess.
What’s your favorite item to pack on a warm weather getaway? Let me know what I missed in the comments!

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be part of a startup company? If so, you’re in luck today. In this Life Nomading Episode my friend Jay Clouse gives us a first hand insight into his daily life as the COO of Tixers.com. He talks to me about the pro’s and con’s to the startup lifestyle and what it’s like working remotely.
Jay’s involvement with the startup world goes much deeper than his position at Tixers, in-fact the fundamental thing that changed his life was Startup Weekend, an event held during a long weekend where entrepreneurs, coders, hackers, hustlers, and designers gather and pitch ideas for businesses to create in that same weekend. He must be telling the truth when he says it changed his life, because he is now an Organizer and Facilitator for Startup Weekends.
Like explained above, you will learn what it’s like to work for a startup, remotely. Not only that, you will get insight into the personal battle we all have with staying positive even in times where it is difficult to do so.
His first startup Market OSU, a platform like craigslist for Ohio State University students to buy and sell stuff.
Jay works for an awesome startup based out of Cincinnati called Tixers. Be sure to check them out next time you plan to go see a game, event, or concert. Have extra tickets to an event? Tixers will give you credits towards future events in return for tickets you want to get rid of too!
Briefly mentioned in this episode was a Columbus based entrepreneur and startup. Web Smith has found a ton of success in the past in Columbus, and he is now at it again with a super rad concept called Whence, check it out.
We spend a vast majority of the episode referencing some of the things only remote working people go through which you can read about a little more in detail.
Paul Graham, founder of Y-Combinator wrote an article questioning why 20 somethings should or should not start a business called “Before the Startup” . We talk about his philosophy behind this and why he really makes a lot of sense.
I loved doing this episode, Jay is a great guy and turning out to be a great friend. I want to thank him one last time for taking an hour out of his bustling life to share his life with the Life Nomading community! | 2019-04-21T12:18:54 | https://www.lifenomading.com/ln-002-the-startup-lifestyle-with-jay-clouse/ |

However, Soundararajan argued in court that a case was registered and action taken against Muthu, based on a complaint by a resident of Washermanpet.
CHENNAI: The State Human Rights Commission ordered a compensation of Rs 1 lakh to a Chennai-based goldsmith, seven years after the then Inspector of Police of the Washermanpet station allegedly extorted jewellery from him.
In his complaint, T Muthu, a goldsmith for 40 years in Old Washermanpet, stated that Soundararajan, the then Inspector of Police, took him to the station and told Muthu that he had purchased 55 grams of stolen jewels from one Ramesh.
When he denied the charges, Soundararajan threatened him, saying that he would not be released from police custody unless he handed over at least 25 grams of the stolen jewels. After Muthu’s blood sugar level dropped because he was not offered food, he affixed his signature on two white papers under coercion. | 2019-04-21T03:16:24 | http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/tamil-nadu/2018/oct/12/state-human-rights-commission-orders-rs-1-lakh-relief-to-goldsmith-over-cop-harassment-1884489.html |
Intracranial aneurysms are relatively rare in the pediatric population. The objective of this study was to highlight the clinical and radiological features and the therapeutic outcome and clarify the choice of therapeutic strategies for pediatric intracranial aneurysms.
Twenty-four consecutive children (age ≤14 years) who were diagnosed and treated for intracranial aneurysms in our institute in the last 23 years were included in this study.
There were nine (36%) patients with posterior circulation aneurysms and eight (32%) with giant aneurysms. Eleven (46%) patients presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Fifteen patients underwent endovascular treatment, and four received microsurgical therapy. Five patients were treated conservatively. Ninety-two percent (n = 22) of the patients showed favorable outcomes.
Pediatric intracranial aneurysms differ in many ways from those in adults: male predominance; high incidence of giant, dissecting, and fusiform aneurysms; high incidence of aneurysms in the posterior circulation; high incidence of spontaneous thrombosis; better Hunt–Hess grades at presentation; and better therapeutic outcome. For children with intracranial aneurysms, both microsurgical approaches and endovascular treatment were effective. For many complex aneurysms, endovascular therapy was the best choice. | 2019-04-18T10:33:49 | https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs00381-008-0725-2 |

Supermodel KATE MOSS is the latest celebrity to become embroiled in the baggage chaos at London's Heathrow airport - losing suitcases full of her fashion designs on a trip to Los Angeles.
The catwalk beauty's clothing range collaboration with British store Topshop has been an international success, with the designs sold in 21 countries.
Kate flew to LA last week for a series of photoshoots to promote the shop's autumn collection - taking a case full of prototypes with her.
But on arrival at the city's LAX airport, the 34-year-old discovered that eight of her bags had disappeared at Heathrow's new Terminal 5 building.
Thousands of passengers have been left bagless and out of pocket after problems with the new baggage-handling system caused major disruption earlier this month (Apr08).
British Airways have reportedly offered Moss US$20,000 in compensation.
Fellow supermodel Naomi Campbell was also caught up in the baggage crisis last week with a dispute over a lost suitcase reportedly leading to her arrest for allegedly spitting at a police officer. | 2019-04-21T01:00:49 | https://www.ahlanlive.com/kates-lost-luggage-20621.html |

The attorneys at our Sacramento, CA law firm always strive to provide clients with expert legal counsel. If an unfavorable legal outcome occurs, we will consider various legal options that can help achieve more favorable outcomes. This is a key aspect to appellate law and other matters following the conclusion of a trial. Remember that our fight does not necessarily end once a verdict is delivered. There are additional options and strategies to keep in mind.
Post-trial motions are one legal strategy that can result in better legal outcomes for clients who have been convicted. Let’s consider the basics of post-trial motions and what legal strategies may be used to help you.
Say that your trial ends and despite the best efforts of your attorney, verdict is unfavorable. You may feel as if all is lost, but that’s where post-trial motions come into play. These requests to a judge can potentially reverse a judgement or lead to acquittal. While a post-trial motion may not be granted, the strength of your case and the nature of the motion can lead to a much more favorable outcome for you and your loved ones.
There are a few different post-trial motions to consider. Let’s consider the most well known motions following trial.
If granted, this means that the court vacates the arrived at judgement of the recently concluded trial and allows a new trial to take place. These motions must demonstrate some kind of mistake in the way the court handled the trial.
These motions are rarely granted, but should be sought if key evidence or witness testimony was not admitted, or if the jury was not given proper instructions when asked to deliberate the case.
This motion asks a judge to reverse the jury’s verdict. This is done if the judge believes there was no legal basis for the jury’s verdict, or if the verdict is contrary to state or federal laws. In these cases, judges can render their own judgement to ensure that an injustice was not carried out in the courts.
This motion is known as judgment N.O.V. for short, The abbreviation is for the Latin phrase “non obstante veredicto”, which means notwithstanding the verdict.
A motion to set aside a judgement may be sought to overturn a verdict or judgement. These motions may be sought years after the case has been ruled, but may not be based on the same grounds as a any previous appeals that were sought.
Knowing which post-trip motion to pursue requires a sharp legal mind and an understanding of both the circumstances of your case and the procedures of the trial that concluded. A skilled attorney will be able to determine the right post-trial motion to pursue, and when the motion should be filed.
This peace of mind is essential when you are going through a difficult period associated with your case.
To learn more about post-trial motions and whether or not they are in your legal interests, be sure to contact our experienced team of attorneys. We will work with you in your time of legal need. | 2019-04-22T20:19:31 | https://www.smcslaw.com/blog/2018/03/19/planning-strategic-post-trial-motions-189969 |

Looks good!! I was thinking about doing a loin but wrapping it in a bacon weave. Did the bacon help keep the moisture in the meat?? Or was that not a factor?

Stu Lourey won the Senate District 11 special election DFL primary Tuesday. He defeated Michelle Lee in a snowy showdown marked by low turnout.
I’m projecting the result based on Lourey’s strong performance in Pine County, where most remaining returns will come from.
Lourey will end up winning by about 250 votes or 6.5 percent. He had raised significantly more money than Lee, allowing him to air television ads. However, Lee showed well, especially in her native Carlton County.
Lourey will face Republican State Rep. Jason Rarick and John “Sparky” Birrenbach from the Legal Marijuana Now party in the Feb. 5 special election.
It will be a blazingly short and expensive campaign, with up to $2 million expected to be spent by Minnesota’s major parties to win the seat.
The SD 11 seat came open when State Sen. Tony Lourey (DFL-Kerrick) was appointed commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Health and Human Services. Stu Lourey quickly announced a run for his father’s seat, the same seat previously held by his grandmother Becky Lourey.
Stu Lourey carries on the family business, which is one part running a small cattle farm in Pine County, and two parts progressive politics. He’s worked as a campaign organizer and most recently as a staffer for U.S. Sen. Tina Smith (D-Minnesota) in Washington, D.C.
Lee is a longtime TV news anchor from Moose Lake who had campaigned for Congress in 2018. She won the DFL endorsement last weekend in something of an upset. She carried the district’s largest city of Cloquet, but fell short elsewhere.
Senate District 11, located in east central Minnesota, can be differentiated by its northern and southern halves. The North (House District 11A) is DFL-leaning while the South (HD 11B) leans Republican.
The general election is Feb. 5.
What is the deal with this Legal Marijuana party? Why is that guy there? Is he legit? Feels like a plant by the Republicans or something. I have to assume legal marijuana becomes very likely if DFL secures the seat. Right? So what’s the deal there?
Legal Marijuana and another pro-marijuana party won “major party” status in 2016 because of their performance in two different statewide elections — Attorney General and Senate.
As a result, the parties can get candidates on the ballot using the same process — endorsement by the party — as both the DFL and the GOP. They do not have to go through the process of collecting and filing petitions to get candidates on the ballot. Their candidate for SD11 is just the first of many we will see, at least until 2022, when they will be “major” or “minor” based on their 2020 performance.
As to whether the established DFL — people like Tom Bakk — will support legalization if they secure majorities in both houses, that remains to be seen. Many DFLers — apparently Walz included — support some further legalization in some form. But many oppose it strongly. The same is largely true of the GOP, with people like former Speaker Boehner working to support it. It is an issue that literally crosses party lines in an unpredictable way.
Interesting. Hadn’t thought of that. Didn’t know that. Thanks. Talk to you later.
I made a mistake above.
The “Legal Marijuana Now Party,” which nominated John “Sparky” Birrenbach for the SD11 seat, gained legal “major party” status in the State Auditor’s race, not the Senate race.
The “Grassroots Legalize Cannibis Party” gained major party status in the State Attorney General race.
MN has an interesting electoral rule which allows any party that wins 5% of the vote in a statewide election to be considered a “major” party. The major distinction between “major” and “minor” parties is that major parties can place candidates on the ballot by designation rather than by collecting and filing petitions. Candidates can place themselves on primary ballots as members of the major parties simply by filing and paying the filing fee. This is very significant since the job of collecting enough valid petition signatures is labor intensive and difficult, whereas the filing process for major parties is simple.
These smaller major parties, as Trevor suggests, can and do cause a lot of mischief. In the 1996 federal Senate election, Dean Barkley gained enough votes to allow the Minnesota Reform Party (which subsequently changed its name to the Independence Party of Minnesota) to gain major status. Its nominee for governor in 1998, Jesse Ventura, won the governor’s election, probably at the expense of the GOP candidate, Norm Coleman. In 2002, the Independence Party candidate for governor, former DFL congressman Tim Penny, almost undoubtedly cost Roger Moe the governorship, allowing the election of Tim Pawlenty. In 2006, former DFL operative Peter Hutchinson’s Independence Party candidacy probably was important in Pawlenty’s re-election over Mike Hatch. But in 2008, Dean Barkley once again probably cost the GOP an election, helping Al Franken win the very narrow decision over Norm Coleman. Coleman probably has recurring nightmares featuring Barkley.
The Independence Party finally reverted to minor status in 2014, when they failed to win 5% in any election, and remains a minor party today. The ascent of the two marijuana rights parties is almost undoubtedly related in part to protest votes by voters who would ordinarily vote DFL casting votes to protest the nomination of Keith Ellison in the face of accusations of abuse from his former live-in girlfriend and as part of the general malaise of left-leaning Democrats both nationally and in Minnesota.
We can undoubtedly expect both marijuana parties to place candidates on the ballot in selected races through at least 2020, when they will again have to face the major/minor party test.
As an aside, the League of Women Voters has a policy of allowing all major party candidates and all candidates with a standing of at least 5% in polling a seat at any debates or forums they run. This has been an issue from time to time, with Norm Coleman protesting the League decision in 1998 to include Ventura in its debates, and with supporters of Skip Sandman becoming angry with the Brainerd League in 2018 when he was excluded from the debate organized by the local Chamber of Commerce and newspaper but run by the League. Members of the Duluth League attempted to mediate and urged that Sandman be included as a significant candidate despite not meeting any of the criteria for inclusion, but the Brainerd League indicated that the decision about invitations was made by the Chamber and the paper and they were unable to intervene. I am personally betting that Sandman will be a candidate for one or the other marijuana party in the 2020 CD8 election, but I don’t know his position on marijuana and perhaps personal beliefs about it might prevent him from doing that.
Yeah. That makes sense. The differences regarding the perception of marijuana between rural and urban Minnesota are staggering. I keep forgetting that. Still, it amazes me how a couple old crabby guys on a country road in rural Minnesota have so much more power and ability to influence. I mean, you take one reality with like millions of people that see, smell, and possibly partake in marijuana usage everyday. Then suddenly there is a man on tv saying legalization is unlikely while citing some absurd statistics. How that guy and his three constituents have more power than an entire city is worth examining.
“You should have talked more with the monkey. He’s always willing to negotiate.” Gazelka is not leaving people with many bargaining chips. That’s kinda my focus… not trying to get involved in the urban rural squabbling.
You should read Peter Hitchens’ book on marijuana legalization. I’m glad Gazelka isn’t rashly running in and I suspect he is faithfully representing his constituents in the matter. And given that we no longer have a legislature that is formed as the US one is Gazelka has roughly as many constituents as any Minneapolis state senator does.
I would advise against trusting Peter Hitchens as a source for anything, since he is basically a right wing culture warrior, not a real scientist or reporter. He is useful as a way of stroking pre-existing biases, but not for much else. I would also not advise citing John Boehner, the former GOP Speaker of the House, since he has become a professional cannabis advocate. The best rule is to seek neutral, scientifically based information, not to waste time on doctrinaire sources from either side.
The case for and against legalization of marijuana is not founded on very solid facts, since there is a dearth of really good research.
There is no question that marijuana makes people high, and that being high is not good for operating cars and other equipment, and indeed not a good place for making any important decisions, including about birth control and other sexual protection.
There is also no doubt that overuse (mostly defined as daily use or daytime use) has a negative impact on many categories of achievement and motivation. That is generally true of all intoxicants.
Marijuana is one of the easiest drugs to detect use of on testing because it persists in trace amounts in the body much longer than most other drugs, leading to large numbers of positive tests and large numbers of people barred from many jobs due to relatively light use of the drug.
There is a pretty strong case that marijuana is less harmful than either alcohol or tobacco, however the argument that that is a reason to legalize it is based on faulty logic along the lines of saying that it is better to fall off a three story building than a ten story building.
There is some evidence that marijuana acts as a gateway to tobacco smoking, but that is not a settled question.
States that have legalized marijuana and other cannabis products have experienced, not surprisingly, an increase in driving while under the influence of cannabis, but so far no evidence of overall increases in deaths or serious injury in car accidents. Conversely, they have experienced a decrease in driving under the influence of alcohol, probably more than balancing the risk. Reported overdoses of cannabis are almost entirely associated with use of ingestible products, since smoking marijuana has its own built in brakes because its affect is so rapid.
The strongest arguments for legalization are socio-economic. Enforcement of anti-cannabis laws costs a great deal of money for law enforcement, courts, rehab, and prison systems and creates a large class of people who have criminal records, something which causes a negative impact for society. Cannabis enforcement also distracts police from work on problems that have a much greater impact on community well being. States that have legalized cannabis have experienced significantly lower costs for their legal systems and have enjoyed large benefits in tax collections applied to the sales. Separation of marijuana from the illegal drug industry has hurt criminal organizations and has broken the potential gateway to more dangerous drugs. Youth use of cannabis appears to have actually decreased in states with legalization , probably because marijuana is often easier for underage people to get than alcohol in states where it is illegal, and that chain is broken when cannabis is mostly available from legal sources that check ID.
One major argument against legalization of cannabis is that it is a major source of revenue for police departments. The federal government pays police departments money — essentially rewards — for the apprehension of drug sellers and for seizure of illegal drugs. This money is a significant part of the budget of many police departments. Unfortunately, the laws do not make any distinction between marijuana and drugs like heroin and other opioids, cocaine, meth, and other pharmaceuticals, strongly incentivizing the police to spend an inappropriate amount of time and energy on marijuana compared with more harmful drugs, and giving police officials an important incentive to oppose legalization of cannabis. The grateful taxpayers of the nation spend a lot of money on this program.
Anyhow, as I said at the beginning, the scientific or medical case for or against cannabis is not strong or well-demonstrated except in the minds of doctrinaire fanatics on either side. The experiences of states that have legalized cannabis have been largely positive, and even conservatives in those states have largely come to the position that legalization should continue. The strongest argument in favor of legalization is that it is silly to spend so much time, money, and energy on policing a drug more benign than several that are legal , and that there are definite social harms from criminalizing its use.
And yes, MN State Senate seats are apportioned by population, unlike federal Senate seats and Electoral College votes. Over each ten year census cycle, rural districts tend to gradually fall behind the population of more urban districts because of slower population growth or actual population loss, something also true of federal Congressional Districts, but this is recorrected every ten years. Imbalance may get worse if efforts to repress census counts of immigrants and minorities are successful, but in principle the rule is compliance with equality of representation.
I understand what you guys are saying. I have contemplated your concerns, David and Gerald. I can’t help it. I support legalization. Lately I’ve been thinking liberty is liberty and you either have it or you don’t. There are conflicts. For example, the Saint Paul city council voted in favor of legalization. However, they also voted to ban menthol tobacco. I don’t see how those two conclusions can rest in the same person’s mind?
Basically, I am staying out of everything and focusing on my own tasks. A lot of the same people that want legalization also want to take away 32 ounce fountain sodas or whatever. So I am just hoping for less people in jail and more people with jobs. That’s about as deep as I can get at this point.
In the end I support legalization also, with the arguments I cite in the second last paragraph most important to my position. I tend to see everything from the point of view of economic and social issues, and IMO from that point of view cannabis prohibition is costly and damaging, and legalization is the more logical approach.
That’s your problem Gerald, “you tend to see everything – economic and social” from a flawed viewpoint. Your “economic” views are socialism based…and history has proven, painfully, socialism is evil. And your “social” views are secular, with no merit other than what your sinful nature deems so…and they vary with the wind. | 2019-04-19T12:16:48 | http://minnesotabrown.com/2019/01/stu-lourey-wins-dfl-nod-in-sd-11-special-election.html |

One of the most important powers that we have as citizens is the right to vote. How could you agree with taking away that right, forever, because of a mistake? I swear some of you self-righteous people that were blessed to be born in nice areas are so judgemental and cruel. One crime warrants x-amount of time. When that time is served and the debt is paid back, why shouldn't their voting rights be restored?
There is voter fraud. Stop early voting. Have a national holiday for voters day and encourage all to vote in person. Exceptions should be for the military and those serving our country to vote by absentee ballot. Nursing homes can bus the elderly in to vote. All voters need to have a valid state picture ID. The voter rolls need to be validated between states. There are too many elections that are decided by small numbers and it is far too easy to commit a fraud. There are some counties that have more voters on the roll than eligible citizens in the census.
My right to vote as a Citizen doesn't stop because I leave the country for non-military reasons. That is my right as a U.S. Citizen to vote when I'm living outside the USA for any reason. You don't get to tell me how or if I get vote via absentee ballot because I live outside the USA to take care family, study or work.
I continue to hear about people being harmed by policy and laws but no suggestions as how to keep the democracy from being harmed by allowing ineligble people to cast ballots. What is your suggestion to ensuring that the voter is indeed a valid and eligible citizen of that precinct? I hear no suggestions other than let everyone vote. Allowing a free for all is just as insideous a policy as voter suppression.
Whenever this article made allegations or straight-up accusations that X, Y, & Z are taking place, I expected to see some sort of clickable link or point of reference by which the allegations and accusations could be further investigated, but... no links to references were given.
Now, I am not saying that no elderly person, poor person, or person with higher levels of melanin in their dna (who were non-incarcerated, legal citizens) have ever been prevented from voting, I'm only saying that I've known anyone or known someone who's known of anyone who falls under those groups and was kept from voting because of it.
But even so, I was open to having my mind changed with evidence to the contrary, yet despite all the allegations and accusations made in this article, the evidence to corroborate those allegations were excluded. Why?
"I'm only saying that I've *not* known anyone or known someone who's known anyone who..."
I would like to support or initiate a program to provide funds for those individuals that lack the "proper" voter id. I think that many concerned people in the US would donate funds to pay for the "Required ID" in those states that are using this method to prevent voting. It would be possible to use donations to pay the fees for those voters that due to financial limitations do not have the funds to pay for the id. | 2019-04-24T03:53:52 | https://www.aclu.org/blog/voting-rights/get-involved-fight-restore-americas-voting-rights?page=3&redirect=blog/voting-rights/let-people-vote-fighting-restore-americas-voting-rights |

This is not a "poor me" post. However, I do have to say, this has been one of the worst weeks since Millie came home from the hospital.
We were doing really well and starting to get a groove down. I'm back to work 3 days a week while my mom watches Millie. Because Millie came so early, we were not prepared for any other child care options and we weren't about to send her to a day-care with her being so small and susceptible to illness. My mom graciously offered to watch her three days a week until I go back full-time. Back to this subject in a bit.
I have completely given up dairy. This includes anything that has milk on the label of the product. If I was to continue breastfeeding, this is the only way I could make her comfortable because of her dairy intolerance. However, this past week everything changed again. My supply hasn't been that great. I am not sure if it is due to the fact that I can't eat much and am not consuming enough calories, I am stressed, I am not getting enough sleep or that I am away from Millie during the day at work. I pump at work, it just isn't the same and my body isn't reacting the way it should to keep my supply up. We have had to supplement and tried a special allergen-free formula, but she wouldn't eat it. So, the doctor gave us a soy formula to try. This apparently opened up another can of worms because it turns out she is allergic to soy as well. I spent the entire week trying to console an inconsolable baby who hadn't gone to the bathroom in 4 days. She wouldn't smile, wouldn't eat, wouldn't sleep and just screamed. On top of that, it was basically just me taking care of her because Tyler works all day and also worked Tuesday and Wednesday night. I thought I was going to have a mental breakdown. In fact, I am pretty sure I did. It got to the point where my cries were matching hers.
In addition, Cooper, our anxiety ridden dog, cannot function in this type of environment. The screaming makes him so nervous that he begins to act out and bark uncontrollably. He also has extreme separation anxiety. I left the house to grab something to eat with Millie, came home, and he had jumped up on the counter and knocked everything off that he could find. There was glass everywhere and blood all over the floors because Cooper cut himself on the glass he knocked off. At this point, Millie was screaming (of course) and I literally just wanted to close myself in a closet and never come out. If you have ever been in an overwhelming situation, you know this feeling I am talking about. You can't seem to get yourself out of this deep hole and everything seems so bad and not fixable.
Thankfully, my parents knew that I simply could not deal with the dog anymore. They came to get him to give me a break and let me focus on my sick baby.
But it gets worse. Friday, my mom was letting Cooper out in the front yard at their house on a leash and he saw another dog being walked across the street. He drug her off the porch, across the yard, into the drive way on her stomach. She now has a sprained ankle, a beat up knee (which was just replaced) and a broken hand.
How can I live with this guilt? Because of my DUMB, uncontrollable dog, my mom now has a broken hand that might require surgery.
In addition, we now have no childcare.
Oh, and I went to the doctor Saturday morning and I have bronchitis and a touch of pneumonia.
Now, I know. It could be worse. But at what point does it end? At what point does life get easier? At what point does God say, "Okay, you've had enough. You have proved that you are faithful and have conquered every trial that has come your way, with dignity no less."
At what point do you throw your hands in the air and give up breastfeeding? I have lost so much weight because of my diet restrictions. I am so overwhelmed with stress and have so little time to focus on myself. I have given it everything I have. I pumped every three hours for months after she was born. When she finally learned to latch, we watched her suffer not knowing of her allergies. I adjusted my diet to to witness her finally be able to eat in comfort, but now, I am noticing that I can't keep weight on. I didn't think it was supposed to be this hard. Is it really worth all this stress and worry?
I am sorry if this particular post has been negative. I really try to stay positive on here but I do know one thing. Writing has always helped me get things off my chest and it relieves stress. Maybe in turn, I will touch one person struggling with something similar and in reading this, they won't feel alone. Being a mom is so hard. Your mind and body are not your own anymore. I am so thankful yet so overwhelmed.
They say it gets easier. I am praying it gets easier.
Hopefully, my next post will be more "cheery".
I just stumbled upon your blog via pinterest. I am not a mother, but am watching my sister-in-law experience her first go at being a new mom. My heart goes out to you, and I am praying for you and your family. Keep doing what you can and submit wholeheartedly to God.
Whether or not you breastfeed has nothing to do with how good of a mother you are. Before formula there were wet nurses. Breast isn't best when it is affecting you so poorly. Consider getting rid of the dog and also think about taking a leave of absence from work. Call about your mortgage and car payments and see if you can get them deferred for three months. The only kids I successfully breastfeed was the third and he was the only one I stayed at home with. I just ran across your blog but wish you the best. Sometimes taking a time out is all that can be done.
Thanks Nikki! :) We are all so hard on ourselves, aren't we? Sounds like you had quite the go around with breastfeeding too. Glad everything worked out for you in the end. | 2019-04-20T03:02:21 | http://www.thetaylordiary.com/2014/09/when-it-rains-it-pours.html |
Excellent product. Very convenient to now be able to charge my Samsung in quick time instead of hanging around waiting for it to charge or settling for a short charge to save time. Arrived in good time. Thanks MobileFun.
This really is super fast. So glad I bought it.
Order came earlier than I had thought. As it said in the specs real Samsung charger. Good service.
I always order from Mobile fun knowing the product I will receive is genuine. Brilliant service. Product as expected.
I am happy with this purchase. My last charger stopped working all of a sudden and I was scared that my phone had been damaged.
Luckily the phone is fine and the charger has been doing a great job at fast charging.
As many have discovered there is alot of copy/fake items on Amazon. As an avid user I took heed if the feedback and avoided the cheap Chinese copies which catch fire so be warned. This as described is the genuine article. Even though more costly it's the real deal and excellent fast charger.
I have bought several items from mobilefun.
All genuine stuff no rubbish.
As this is an official Samsung product I had no hesitation in buying it. It was exactly as described, and fully compatible with my Galaxy S7, which is all I needed to know. In fact it appears to be exactly the same as the charger that came with the phone, and it performs just the same, so it's absolutely perfect for my needs. I guess any 2-amp fast charger would be okay, but I like to use official OEM products where I can, and this is the usual Samsung quality, so I'm very happy. Also, I've always found that I can rely on MobileFun to supply genuine products that are accurately described on their website, so I'd have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending both this product and MobileFun. Excellent all round.
Fantastic replacement charging unit. Would recommend.
I have bought non Samsung chargers in the past and was beginning to think there was something wrong with my phone. After using this I now realise there's nothing wrong with the phone, it now charges properly! Totally recommend if you have Samsung S7.
A genuine Samsung charger. Enough said.
Again same as the short review. An officially boxed S7/S7 Edge charger, glad to have found it.
Genuine, original Samsung charger. Identical to the one that came with my phone. Delivery was good as usual.
Was a really fast service. Happy with the product as it exactly as described. Would use again.
Perfect! As described! Excellent genuine product!
I bought this for my s7 edge. I'd bought cheaper wires but they charged so slowly. This one is pricey but well worth the money as it charges so fast!
A very convenient charger for high speed charging my phone.
This is exactly as what it says on the product description. Original Samsung fast adaptive charger !
My package arrived promptly and it was exactly what I was looking for. The original lead to my Samsung Galaxy was damaged, and this was a replacement set. definitely would recommend purchasing from this site.
A BIG THUMBS UP AND EXCELLENT SERVICE TOO.
i was really happy with the charger i bought.
the website was concise , easy ro use and navigate, and it didnt take long to complete my order.
when i recieved my charger a few days later i was really happy with the packaging and condition as well.
i will 100% buy something from this website again.
This is a very quick charger. Excellent. Glad I purchased.
I think this charger is very good I especially like the extra long cable on it.It is useful because my wall plug is a way from the bed so it is handy to charge my phone over night.I recommend this item very highly.I think its good vslue for money.I like the fact that it is fast charging too.
Happy with the product, speedy delivery, functionsend correctly.
Excellent quality and safe original brand.
Been searching for genuine Samsung Fast Charger and purchased a few to then find that they were generally fake.
Good to actually find a reputable website with genuine product. Works as should after I stupidly left mine abroad.
Still don't quite understand how it's so hard to find genuine samsung products!
Great service by mobilefun too, one happy customer.
A neat charger. Being able to slide the top pin into the plug makes it smaller for carrying about.
Genuine Samsung galaxy s7 edge fast charger.
This is a genuine Samsung Galaxy S7 edge fast charger and 1M Micro USB lead. Exactly the same as the charger supplied with the phone. Mine charged (fast charge) my s7 edge from dead in 1hr 45mins. Great if you need a 2nd or replacement charger. What else can i say it's a reliable samsung charger.
Vary good product. Does what it says on the tin. Have used for a few weeks now and no problems at all.
It's a charger... It charges my phone and it's works fine.
Identical to the one I had with my phone. Needed a spare.
Always good to have a spare charger, and always nice to come here and get the genuine product. | 2019-04-23T09:10:16 | https://www.mobilefun.co.uk/official-samsung-galaxy-s7-s7-edge-adaptive-fast-charger-mains-58956-reviews |
Im back today with a product review!
I hadn't heard too much about the new range so I was excited to give them a try.
Today I will be letting you all know what I thought about using their Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser.
My skin type for the last year or two has become much more oilier than it use to be. Im not sure if this is a hormonal change or just something that has come about from the products I have used over the years. I would say it is combination/normal. Its not overly sensitive. I have slightly enlarged pores on my nose and they do hold a bit of oil/dirt. I get the occasional breakout along my jawline which is definitely stress/hormone related. Isn't being a girl fun!
For the last 5 years I have been using cleansers strictly from beauty salons (I am a qualified beauty therapist). They have all been top quality and have worked really well for my skin. Im all about trying new products, but I do believe that if you know products work for your skin to stick to them.
I was surprised when I first used this product with the way to made my skin feel. It had a very intense cooling effect. I didn't really like it and I wasn't expecting it. It doesn't state anywhere on the packaging about this, but in the ingredients list it does have menthol in it. However its not one of the main ingredients. You definitely need to keep this away from your eyes as its very strong, or at least I found it was.
I used this cleanser for about a month, and I wasn't impressed with it. I've never really suffered from blackheads on my face. My nose does hold a bit of oil but other than thats its always been pretty good. Once I started using this clearer my face freaked out! I started to get all these little bumps on my cheeks and forehead and actual blackheads on my cheeks. To be honest, I was going through a very stressful time with uni and relationship issues and that definitely plays a role in how your skin looks and feels. However now that I have stopped using it my skin has slowly started to go back to normal.
I also didn't really like the texture of the product. Its quite a thick cleanser and lathers a lot when you add water. I prefer a thinner consistency cleanser. But thats just personal preference.
I think I would like to test this out again and see if I can get past the bad state and see if it starts to clear. I just wasn't happy with how my skin was looking and needed to go back to my usual routine. you can see what products I currently use on my instagram! _thebeautyscoop. The post was about 17 weeks ago.
Everyones skin is different, so don't think that just because this is how I feel about that you will have the same experience! This is just my personal opinion.
Have you ever tried this cleanser? I would love to know what you thought!
If you think you have the same skint type as me, let me know what products you have been loving down below. | 2019-04-23T09:05:33 | http://thebeautyscoopbylucy.blogspot.com/2015/12/product-review-biore-deep-pore-charcoal.html |

The Kulanu party has agreed to merge with Likud and cease being an independent party, according to Israeli media reports.
Labour leader Avi Gabbay rejected calls for him to resign last night, insisting that he would be sworn in as an MK in the new Knesset and would continue to serve the public from the opposition. Rumours were circulating that both Itzik Shmuli and Stav Shaffir would compete for the leadership of the party with Amir Peretz as temporary leader if Gabbay were to resign. Tal Russo, number two on the Labour list, was reportedly considering not taking up his Knesset seat if Gabbay were to remain as the party’s leader. Gabbay said that he would consult with his party MKs on next steps for Labour, including holding primaries.
Hanan Ashrawi, a senior Palestinian official, said Israelis had: “Overwhelmingly voted for candidates that are unequivocally committed to entrenching the status quo of oppression, occupation, annexation and dispossession in Palestine”. | 2019-04-20T10:54:26 | http://www.bicom.org.uk/news/kulanu-to-merge-with-likud/ |
The Spurs must figure out if they can repair their relationship with star forward Kawhi Leonard, who essentially missed the entire 2017-18 season with a mysterious quad injury.
Big issue 1: It could be argued that no team has a bigger issue on its hands entering the offseason than the Spurs, who must figure out whether the frayed relationship with star forward Kawhi Leonard can be repaired and whether the team will offer him the NBA's supermax contract, worth more than $200 million.
If not, the Spurs will put Leonard on the trade block, a move that could send the franchise into virtually unchartered territory: rebuilding.
While most around the league expect that a season spent nursing a quad injury while coaches and teammates looked on helplessly has left too much damage to fix, the Spurs will seek to iron out their differences with their sulking superstar. The team was able to do so with LaMarcus Aldridge last year, so there's hope. But there is a suspicion that Leonard has already decided he wants out, and that he wants to go to home to Los Angeles.
If that's the case, the Spurs' options will be limited, and they will be forced to cobble together some semblance of a reasonable package in return for Leonard.
Big issue 2: We know already that two of the Spurs elders, Tony Parker (who will be 36 when next season starts) and Pau Gasol (who will be 38) are planning on playing next season. Parker is under contract, and Gasol can opt out of his deal, but said he plans to re-sign with the Spurs.
What we don't know is whether Manu Ginobili, who will be 41 in July, will be back. Ginobili has had a considerably reduced role in his last three seasons, but he is still a productive bench player and had some shining moments in the postseason. He said he might take a few months to decide on whether to return.
There's also the dark-horse possibility that coach Gregg Popovich, whose wife, Erin, passed away during the playoffs, could decide he has had enough. Certainly, he has been stung by the controversy around Leonard, an especially difficult situation given his history of great relationships with star players. Popovich has signed on to take over USA Basketball coaching duties, and he could bow out of the NBA while still maintaining a strong connection with the game and its stars.
It's not the first time there has been speculation about Ginobili and Popovich, though, and both keep returning to the NBA grind. Until otherwise notified, we can assume they'll be back next year, too.
Free-agent outlook: Assuming Danny Green opts out of his current contract (one year left at $10 million), he will be the team's top free agent and will command a raise despite posting three of the lowest effective field goal rates of his career in his last three seasons, including 49.0 this year. There will be a market for Green that should push his contract into the $12-14 million range over three or four years, and the Spurs may simply not want to pay that.
Rudy Gay, meanwhile, faces a tougher decision on his player option, which calls for him to get $8.8 million. He resurrected his career as a sixth man with the Spurs, and though he was productive, he didn't play well enough to warrant a pricey, long-term deal. He was happy playing for the Spurs, and opting out might be a decision he regrets.
The young folks: Point guard Dejounte Murray, 21, is the Spurs' brightest young player, a scoring guard who took over the starting role in the second half of the season. Murray needs to add a perimeter shot, but in 48 starts, he averaged 10.1 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists and is clearly the heir apparent to Parker.
The rest of the Spurs' young players are not all that young - forward Davis Bertans, who will be a free agent, is 24, as is restricted free agent forward Kyle Anderson. Last year's first-rounder, guard Derrick White, is 23 and did not play much this year, though he averaged 20.1 points in the G-League.
The Spurs will have the No. 18 pick in this year's draft, their highest pick entering the draft since they had the No. 1 pick in 1997 (and chose Tim Duncan).
Wait till next year: The Spurs managed to win 47 games this season, a remarkable feat considering they were without their best player and were scraping together makeshift lineups throughout the season - 24 starting lineups in all. That came largely because of the play of LaMarcus Aldridge, but it would be a stretch to expect Aldridge to carry the team the same way next year, especially if Leonard is not back.
If the Spurs do trade Leonard, they'll look to add young players and draft picks to brighten the future of this aging bunch. But that could mean a rough go of things next season, when the Spurs' string of 21 straight postseason appearances figures to be in jeopardy. | 2019-04-21T06:14:56 | https://ca.nba.com/news/spurs-roster-trade-rumors-free-agency-news-kawhi-leonard-contract-injury/ydnx74jgg5dw1tiyxsihakz4t |

White rice may be more popular than its brown counterpart, but the latter is certainly packed with way more nutrients. If you want to eat rice and stay healthy, then you might want to consider trying Dawat Basmati brown rice now available at Delybazar. After all, you can always order some from online grocery stores in Kolkata, from the comfort of your couch.
So, what is this brown rice?
Simply put, brown rice is produced when only the outermost layer of the rice grain, the hull, is removed, leaving the inner layers intact. The rice germ and bran are both kept intact, giving the grains a warm, brown shade. In white rice, these layers are removed and the individual grains are polished, which means they contain a little fibre and a lot of starch, but not too many nutrients.
Apart from this, the aroma of brown rice is a lot more delicious than white rice, as many who have tried it will say. However, the rice is also more susceptible to going rancid, because of the oils present in the germ and bran. To increase its shelf life, the rice should ideally be stored in an airtight box and refrigerated. That way, it can be stored for about 6 months.
The presence of bran and germ make brown rice exceptionally healthy, with lots of minerals and vitamins in excellent quantities. The rice provides a significant percentage of the recommended daily intake of selenium, manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, and copper, which can help the body fight off infections, improve brain functions, and maintain healthy blood.
Brown rice contains healthy amounts of Vitamin B3 (Niacin), which can lower LDL (the bad cholesterol) in blood, helping keep your cardiovascular system healthy. It can help you maintain overall good health as well.
Apart from this, brown rice is also rich in dietary fibre, which keeps the digestive system healthy, and as research has indicated, might help the body fight against colon cancer.
Make delicious rice pudding: Add cooked brown rice to warm milk. Bring to a boil, add sugar, raisins, elaichi and nutmeg, and stir for a while. Turn off the heat, pour the pudding in a bowl, cool to room temperature and then refrigerate for a while. Serve chilled.
Whip up a rice salad for lunch: Got leftover brown rice? Toss it with chicken, tofu/paneer cubes, assorted nuts, or sauteed vegetables. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top and add a dash of lemon juice for extra flavour. This can be a good lunch for someone on the move.
Quickly prepare a hearty dinner: Got some brown rice left from lunch? Prepare dinner by adding a can of beans to it, along with sauteed or boiled veggies. Keep some salt and pepper handy, and you have a filling dinner, right there. | 2019-04-25T15:58:36 | https://www.delybazar.com/blog/enjoy-dawat-basmati-brown-rice-for-excellent-taste-and-plenty-of-health-benefits.html |

Can women really do it all? Absolutely.
Little mid-week inspiration here—Judge Lindsey Scott is not only the first female district judge in Jefferson County, she is also just 34 years old, a former assistant district attorney, a wife, and mother of 2. Judge Scott was appointed by Governor Perry to replace Judge Layne Walker who retired a full 11 months before the end of his term. During her short term, Judge Scott helped cut the County’s backlog of cases from 500 to 250 cases all while giving birth to a newborn mid-term and continuing to chase around a 3 year old. | 2019-04-19T17:20:54 | http://lawyerswholunchblog.com/2014/12/ |
Red Queen Press is seeking romance and erotica, amongst other genres.
"The four principals have decades of experience with editing and art design"--seems a tad vague to me.
They are new (launching this July), so the usual caveats and cautions apply. | 2019-04-24T16:40:26 | https://www.eroticromancepublishers.com/2012/05/market-red-queen-press.html |
Is there a way to create different db connection in runtime using hibernate.
Thanks for your reply.We have three different databases.So which is the easiest way to get the data source ,by having 3 different hibernate.cfg.xml or by getting 3 different data sources form app server using jndi.
Its a one to one mapping between a DataSource and a SessionFactory, so you will need three seperate configurations for your SessionFactory. So if you use hibernate.cfg.xml to do this you will need three versions, one for each DataSource.
or by getting 3 different data sources form app server using jndi.
Not sure I follow this part of your question. You can avoid this. If you have three different databases you will need three different DataSources in JNDI.
If you want to manage transaction for all databases, can you do that with Hibernate?
For instance, I want to update data on both databases, but the first transaction on a DB has to be rollback after second transaction on the other DB fails. How can you handle this kind scenario?
I've posted this topic Transaction management on multiple DB connections as new. | 2019-04-24T02:57:13 | https://coderanch.com/t/217991/databases/multiple-DB-connections-hibernate |
Churchill Show that runs on Sunday evenings on NTV is slowly coming back to shape after a few months of being in limbo and almost becoming a boring show.
The show has been mixing new and old comedians who have given the show a new feel. Churchill who had appeared to take a break is finally back in his element.
This week the highlight of the show was Mwende. Mwende has been the breakout star of the show this year. She has been able to keep the audience laughing on both Churchill Raw and Churchill Show.
This week she went all out from labelling herself the only surviving slay queen from Ukambani. She went on to give hilarious stories and comparing English and Swahili and how English is normally good at making things look nice. For example it is easy to call someone a cowboy and not call her ng’ombe msichana. I mean, who would want to call someone a cowboy in Swahili?
This week also saw the return of Njoro on the stage. I have not seen him in a while and he made sure he brought the house down.
He has not given up his persona ever since he came to stage and has always stuck to the comparison of his father and by extension his family and Western parents. He also has not removed his father’s character out of his presentations, making his message relatable and has been able to keep his image.
Zeddy and Rashid Abdalla also kept the house laughing to their jokes. Zeddy made jokes about Nanyuki and also threw in some jokes about Wakorino and how they have specific jobs and what women do their husbands when they do not want them to go out. They simply throw all their vilemba’s in water for washing.
MCA Tricky who was saved for last has totally changed his image. From his lowly chokora character which endeared him to the public to puns. He was not so much powerful; his transition is somehow hurting his brand as he is no longer relatable to the ordinary person and though one might argue he is slowly changing his game for the long run I’d rather he mix it up a little and make sure that he has both people on board.
I give the Churchill show a slightly higher rating than I gave it last week. 9.5/10 because of the diversity the show had last week and the act that new acts did better than last week’s. | 2019-04-20T08:37:44 | https://mediacritickenya.com/2018/08/20/why-mwende-made-churchill-show-fun-to-watch/ |
TRiiSO distributes a wide range of polyether diols that allow formulators to produce high quality polyurethane adhesives. Polyols contain reactive hydroxyl (OH) groups which react with isocyanate (NCO) groups on isocyanates to form polyurethane adhesives.
Polyether diols are formed by propoxylating an initiator (addition of propylene oxide to an initiator). In some cases, the initiator is ethoxylated (addition of ethylene oxide) as well as propoxylated. Ethoxylation can be incorporated in the middle of the polyol, or at the end (tip) of the diol. When polyether diols have ethylene oxide tips, the resulting hydroxyl groups are primary hydroxyls; propylene oxide tips yield secondary hydroxyl groups. Secondary hydroxyl groups react slower than primary hydroxyl groups as a result of the increased steric hindrance. Ethylene oxide is more hydrophilic, and thus polyether polyols with ethylene content tend to produce polyurethane adhesives that are more hydrophilic than those produced with polyether polyols that are made solely with propylene oxide. The initiator used to produce the diol can impact reactivity as well as functionality of the polyol. Amine initiated polyether diols are self-catalyzing and react faster than standard glycol initiated polyether diols. Higher performance polyether diols are formed by ring opening of tetrahydrofuran (THF) to form polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG).
There are several key characteristics which define what performance properties a given polyether diol will impart in a given polyurethane adhesive. These characteristics include: the hydroxyl number or hydroxyl value (OH value), OH equivalent weight, and the molecular weight of the diol.
Hydroxyl number (OH ) is the measure of the hydroxyl group content of gram of diol. Hydroxyl value is measured by titrating a known mass of diol against potassium hydroxide (KOH), and is expressed as mg KOH/g. Lower hydroxyl values indicates lower hydroxyl content and a higher molecular weight for the overall diol.
Molecular Weight is determined by multiplying the equivalent weight by the diol functionality (2).

The world is full of distractions. It's hard to find a good place just to sit, think, and study. For some, a home office is the one place where they can accomplish tasks uninterrupted. A home library further elevates this distraction-free thinking space. It makes your office more cozy and comfortable. Although a study space needs to be mainly functional and utilitarian, you don't need to sacrifice style. Here are a few design ideas that might inspire you to set up your library inside your home office. | 2019-04-25T19:59:46 | https://www.maltadevelopment.com/blog/topic/library |
This guide will help you install Windows 10 preview build 14951 on your smartphone in case that you are having issues with updating to the latest version. The fixes offered in the below guide contain some tweaks that you can do with the settings of your phone.
Last week, Microsoft released Windows 10 Mobile Build 14951 for the fast ring Insiders. However, as it usually happens, some users reported that they are having problems installing the latest update. Many of them complained that the updates are available, but when they press the download button, no download begins and the screen looks like frozen. This is a known issue that we wrote about in our article for Fixes and issues in Windows 10 build 14951, and after receiving a couple of requests from affected users, we decided to share with you a few workarounds to this issue.
First, you will need to plug a charge into your device, because we will be rebooting the device a few times. Then, open your Settings and navigate to Update & Security. Go to Windows Insider Program and change your device to “Slow” and then again back to “Fast”.
Turn the Airplane Mode ON from your Settings > Network & wireless > Airplane Mode.
Then navigate to Settings again and search for Time & Language > Date & Time. If “Set date and time automatically” option is “ON”, turn it “OFF”. You will need to manually change the date on the device to 7 days in the future.
Then, return to the home screen and reboot your device. After it is rebooted, you will need to turn OFF Airplane Mode from Settings > Network & wireless > Airplane Mode.
Next, you need to check for updates by following these steps: Settings > Update & Security > Phone update > Check for updates. It is OK if this process fails with an error code. You need to proceed with the next steps.
Go back to Settings > Time & Language > Date & Time and change the device date back to the current date.
Then, check for updates by navigating to this menu Settings > Update & Security > Phone update > Check for updates. This check may fail again but that is expected to happen.
Now reboot the device once again. After the reboot, you need to check for updates again from this menu Settings > Update & Security > Phone update > Check for updates. This check for updates should be successful and the downloading of 14951 build should begin.
Switch Insider setting to “Slow” ring and then check for updates. It will say that you are up-to-date for the Slow ring.
Then, change back to “Fast” ring and once again run the updates check. This time it should work.
This is what we have found as a working solution for now. If none of these help you cope with Windows 10 Mobile build 14951 failing to update, then you will probably need to wait a few more days until the next Mobile preview build comes out. | 2019-04-18T23:19:27 | https://malwarecomplaints.info/windows-10-mobile-build-14951/ |

The old school look I have put together mixes different pieces that typically wouldn’t be worn together. The dress pants, newsboy cap and scarf are a little fancier and usually wouldn’t be paired with a t-shirt.
James Dean is still regarded as one of the most fashionable men of all time. This outfit is inspired by his style in ‘Rebel Without A Cause.’ Dean only starred in three movies and his red nylon windbreaker is iconic in the style world. To add an updated look to the style, I chose a red denim jacket paired with Dean’s apparel of a white t-shirt with blue jeans. I also replaced black leather boots with black Converse Chuck Taylor II’s. The outfit is classic with 1950s greaser vibes. The red jacket adds vibrant color, compared to a leather jacket or a common denim jacket.
This outfit was built around the classic denim jacket with the idea of adding new life to the jacket. Typically, one would wear a dark or light wash jacket as the outer layer, but I decided to use it as a middle layer. Because the base outfit consists of all black clothing, one could easily throw anything over it. Instead of simply wearing the denim jacket or just the camel coat, layering the camel coat over the denim jacket adds depth and stands out as an out-of-the-box style choice. | 2019-04-22T01:28:04 | http://www.bearingnews.org/2019/04/the-modern-gent-an-april-lookbook/ |

A West Virginia teen from a coal-mining family says getting through school has often been a challenge. A Korean American had a difficult home life and struggled with English, but showed promise with math. And despite growing up in a neighborhood plagued by violence, a New Jersey teen has an advanced understanding of computers. These students are three of the 100 winners of the first Amazon Future Engineer scholarships that will help them pay for college, and get a little closer to achieving their dreams.
Leo Jean Baptiste's mother says the Amazon Future Engineer scholarship is a huge weight off her shoulders.
Leo and his mother, learning that the 17 year old has been awarded the Amazon Future Engineer scholarship.
Opening the Amazon box with Leo's surprise scholarship inside.
The Amazon Future Engineer program gives students from underrepresented and underserved communities across the country access to computer science camps and classes in addition to scholarships and internships at Amazon.
“This scholarship means that when I go to college, I won't have to constantly worry about money,” said seventeen-year-old Leo Jean Baptiste, an Amazon Future Engineer scholarship winner from Orange, New Jersey.
Leo is the son of a hard-working single mom. He grew up speaking Haitian Creole in a home without internet access, surrounded by a community rife with drugs and gang activity. He’s risen to the top of his high school class, but was uncertain if he’d have the resources to pay for college. In addition to a heavy school load, Leo is an ROTC leader, an elementary school tutor, and a volunteer in an after-school program that tries to rid his community of drugs and alcohol. He says he wants to work in machine learning when he gets older.
When Leo applied for the Amazon Future Engineer scholarship, he was nervous. News of the award has come as a huge relief. His mother said it’s taken a huge load off her shoulders, since the top colleges he has gotten into are very expensive.
“He's going to be a brilliant computer scientist and more than that, based on the conversations I've had with him, he wants to use that computer science to really make a change and better the world,” said Behzadpour.
As part of the Amazon Future Engineer scholarship, students receive $10,000 a year for four years while pursuing a computer science degree in college. They are also guaranteed a paid internship offer at Amazon’s Seattle headquarters, including a housing stipend.
Amazon Future Engineer is a four-part, childhood-to-career program intended to empower, educate, and train 10 million students from underrepresented and underserved communities each year to pursue careers in computer science.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average computer science major makes 40% more in lifetime earnings than the average college graduate and nearly three times more than the average high school graduate. Despite the opportunity, the vast majority of public elementary and high schools, particularly those in underprivileged or under-represented communities, do not offer computer science classes.
“Getting to the point where I am has definitely been hard. There's been times where I felt like giving up,” said Leo.
But the high school senior, who calls himself “passionately curious” believes he is now on his way to a career in technology. He’s already thinking about his next steps, and helping others at the same time.
Leo and his math teacher, Hooman Behzadpour, known as "Mr. B." He calls Leo the finest student he's ever seen, by far.
Leo walks roughly one mile to school. His neighborhood has a very high crime rate, and Leo says the walk is "scary" at times.
Leo often stays after school to study because he doesn't have internet access at home.
Leo Jean Baptiste, age 17, is one of 100 students to win the Amazon Future Engineer college scholarship.
Leo hands out stickers encouraging liquor stores not to sell to kids in his neighborhood as part of an after-school program.
Leo helps his younger brother do his homework in the family's apartment.
Leo says it was important for him to win a scholarship in order to attend college.

Description: In 2003 at the age of 74, Kudditji triumphantly returned to explore the looser painting style that he had developed over ten years previously, which people now comment has a “family resemblance” to the last paintings of his elder sister Emily Kame Kngwarreye , but when first painted, were unlike anything else within Indigenous Fine Art. Indeed some have asked as to who first developed the style. Brother or Sister? The answer is not currently known, but Kudditji’s beautiful, soft and mesmerizing landscapes of his country are unmistakably his own and have finally found wide acceptance and acclaim via very successful solo exhibitions in the Eastern States and London. Kudditji’s country is located in the remote Utopia region, some 230 kilometres north-east of Alice Springs. Comes with 41 Working Photos and a video CD showing Kudditji painting his work. A beautifully executed large blue chip investment work and a valuable asset in any investment portfolio including a self managed super fund at a Great Sale Price. Check with your accountant on the huge tax benefits available. | 2019-04-23T19:58:23 | https://aboriginalartpaintings.com/my-country-18 |
