SWITCH TO SHOWERS: Long hot baths and showers strip natural oils from the skin so take quick, luke warm showers instead. They help keep good moisture balance in the skin.
DRINK UP: During the colder months we tend to reduce our water intake and replace it with comforting hot drinks like coffee, tea and hot chocolate. It's when the water level in the skin drops by ten percent that it becomes dry, itchy and flaky. Remembering to drink one to two litres of water a day will keep skin hydrated and flake-free.
ADD SUPPLEMENTS: Evening Primrose Oil is a great supplement to take, and use on your face, as it contains an essential fatty acid that strengthens skin cells and boosts moisture content. You can also add a drop of Vitamin E oil from a capsule to your moisturiser before applying. This gives the skin an extra hydrating boost and protects its natural oil balance.
EAT MORE NUTS AND SEEDS: Also try adding a variety of nuts and seeds to your diet as they contain essential fatty acids that support skin health. Unrefined, cold-pressed flax seed oil used daily on salads and baked potatoes will also make dry skin moist and supple.
EXFOLIATE: First exfoliate away dead skin cells – this helps cell renewal and stimulates blood circulation which increases oxygen and nutrients to the skin. It also allows for better absorption of moisturisers, which makes them more effective.
HYDRATE: Moisturising is a given, but the trick is to apply your moisturiser just after the shower while the skin is still a little damp – that way it traps the moisture still on your skin.
UPDATE YOUR SKINCARE: To 'winterproof' your skin. Olay Regenerist products are the result of Olay's pioneer research in cellular bioenergetics, which has been featured in over 10 scientific publications, so they are the 'biz'…
Here's my fave winter-proof/active regime:
1. cleanse: Olay Regenerist's Advanced Cleansing System powerfully removes long-lasting, smudge proof makeup by gently loosening, lifting and swirling the dirt away. The electronic cleansing device is genius and perfect for daily use, taking cleansing to the next level.
2. boost: Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence has Niacinamide, Olivem and Peptides to boost skin energy and allow it to absorb more anti-ageing ingredients, it's your go-to first step in both day and night routines. When used alongside the Micro-Sculpting Cream (during the day) and the Micro-Sculpting Night Cream, it helps to boosts cell renewal to make you positively glow and look 10 years younger. #waitforthecompliments
3. sculpt: The Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Serum is infused with the highest concentration of Olay Regenerist's signature amino-peptide complex, making it the most powerful anti-ageing product to date. The concentrated amino-peptide complex in this serum contains carnosine, an amino-peptide, which is scientifically proven to assist in wound healing and helps protect and reduce collagen damage.
4. daytime dream product: Olay Regenerist's Micro-Sculpting UV Cream is a super-luxurious, feel-good cream. The formula features an amino-peptide complex that works to help renew the skin's surface layers and visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by moisturising, exfoliating and smoothing the skin. I love it because it targets the three hardest {first to age} areas to treat – eye, jaw line neck. It also contains Broad Spectrum SPF30 sunscreen to protect skin from UV rays.
5. nourish at night: During the night your skin repair system increases, so it makes perfect sense to use a product that boosts this natural process. The Micro- Sculpting Night Cream is what you need to do just that! It was designed after constant consumer feedback requesting an alternative to thick, glunky night creams. It has all the key anti-ageing ingredients of Olay Regenerist for major reduction of wrinkles and plumper skin, but is has a lightweight gel-like texture that quickly absorbs without leaving a greasy residue. No more gloopy product clogging pores or sticking to your pillow. It leaves skin feeling plump and hydrated through the night, and smells amazing.
Why the range works? All the Olay Regenerist products feature a unique combination of anti-ageing actives. The key ingredients in the products include:
* Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): accelerates the renewal of surface cells, reduces wrinkles
* Olive extract (Olivem): antiMoxidant known to help protect skin from oxidative damage
* Amino Peptides: pro-collagen molecules that help repair skin, reduce wrinkles & firm skin
* Dill Seed Extract (Lys'lastine): enhances skin's elasticity
* Hylauronic Acid and Glycerol: hydrating agents for softer, plumper skin

O no! --- hopefully something like that didn't happen . . .Yes. They have.
Fwiw , have batted heads with her on a number of occasions and it is not great to do however there is obeying instructions and taking it to STH was the instruction, nothing personal at all and is mainly just what many have felt to be a systematic problem here, no real avenue of any sorting out issues and problems occur when there is no transparent communication.
Cduggles deserves a heartfelt apology, she is just doing her job and doing it as instructed without seemingly taking this forum to use as a personal vendetta battle ground like some of her co staff (and also the members).
I hope she is okay and I am sorry I have been hard on you, definitely not anything that could have been avoided if I had more maturity, just get so angry when I see my mates go down time and time again and it is not fair she gets caught in the middle.
Come back cduggles, it's going to be okay, we don't want anyone to leave and best off working together and figuring things out.

Ecstacy For Middlesbrough, Disappointment For Accrington, Despair For Blackpool
In another riveting weekend of football action there was great joy on Teeside but utter dejection on the Fylde Coast. Let us go through the divisions and check out the winners and losers over a tumultuous weekend.
Starting with the Premier League and Leicester City had already wrapped up the title but they had it presented to them in front of their jubilant fans and they again put on a great exhibition of football, beating Everton 3-1. Spurs just need a point from their final game to finish 2nd whilst Man City may end up in 5th after only drawing 2-2 at home to Arsenal who remain in 3rd. Man United are now in pole position to grab 4th if they win their game in hand, although they made heavy weather of beating Norwich 1-0.
At the bottom end the big winners of the day were Sam Allardyce`s Sunderland who pulled off a superb 3-2 home victory against Chelsea, Jermaine Defoe hitting the winner, and so if they win at home to Everton on Wednesday they will send both their fierce rivals Newcastle and Norwich down. Newcastle shot themselves in the foot by only drawing 0-0 with bottom club Aston Villa.
In the Championship in the £200 million game as it was dubbed, Middlesbrough got over the line by gaining the point they needed against Brighton, leaving them to play Sheffield Wednesday in the play offs along with Hull playing Derby County. Bolton, Charlton and MK Dons of course had already slipped through the League 1 trap door at the other end of the table.
And onto League 1 and Burton Albion got the point they required at Doncaster to seal a fabulous promotion. Wigan were Champions leaving Walsall, Millwall, Bradford and Barnsley to fight it out in the play offs. At the other end of the table Blackpool were thrashed 5-1 at Peterborough to drop into League 2 just 5 years after playing in the Premier League. Doncaster, Colchester and Crewe also were relegated.
Accrington Stanley must now pick themselves up for the play offs after being pipped at the post by Oxford and Bristol Rovers in a thrilling finale to the season. Accrington had to win their last game at home to Stevenage to ensure promotion but they drew a blank at home for the first time this season, and with Oxford winning and Bristol Rovers scoring in the final minute to beat Dagenham & Redbridge 2-1 it left Stanley 4th. They must now play AFC Wimbledon in the play offs. The other play off game is a massive game as it sees Plymouth play Portsmouth which are two games to really look forward to.

Whether you're a football fan or not, you'll most likely be tuning in to this Sunday's Super Bowl 50. It is a day that friends gather together, indulge in food and drinks and watch two teams battle it out for the championship title. However, viewers aren't only tuning in for an action-packed game. They will also be captivated by the much-anticipated Super Bowl ads that brands pay an average of $4 million for. From Budweiser's Clydesdale Puppy Love to Reebok's Terry Tate commercial, these game day ads are sure to create buzz and boost sales.
But these costly TV ads aren't the only way to gain exposure during the big game.
One way retailers can more affordably capitalize on the thrill of the game is with Facebook Advertising. Last year there were 265 million posts, comments and likes related to the Super Bowl on Facebook.
If you want to score big with your Facebook ads, follow these tips during and after the big game.
Use Video Ads to Capture Awareness and Increase Engagement
Last year, Facebook video ads saw a 30% increase in ad spend during the Super Bowl and click-through-rates (CTRs) rose by 5%. To capture the attention of your target audience pre- and post-game and increase engagement, creating native video ads with a creative football theme. To drive more views, Facebook uses a "video views" objective to automatically optimize your video to reach the people who will be most likely to want to watch it.
Utilize Custom Audiences and Lookalike Audiences
Reach your customers based on their interests and behaviors using custom audiences and lookalike audiences. To create custom audiences, upload your list of customers to Facebook and then layer in other targeting options, such as interests and behaviors related to football. "Lookalike Audiences" can also be created based on your uploaded customer list where Facebook will find more people who share similar traits to customers. You can then target your customers and/or lookalike customers who live in the winning team's city and provide them with an exclusive congratulatory promo code or call-out products that relate to the winning team. Remember to use eye-catching ad creative related to the big game to catch their attention!
Create Carousel Ads
Carousel ads allow you to showcase multiple images and links in one ad. If you offer multiple different products that relate to the Super Bowl, include them in a carousel ad so you increase the likelihood of capturing the attention of shoppers. Advertisers have seen carousel link ads drive 30-50% lower cost-per-conversion and 20-30% lower cost-per-click than single-image link ads.
While all of these tips are great strategies to use during and after the Super Bowl, they could also be useful during any big event throughout the year. To learn more about how to create successful ad creative on Facebook and optimize your Facebook advertising, reach out to our Paid Marketing team.

Cristiano Ronaldo has risked the wrath of Bayern Munich supporters by asking star striker Robert Lewandowski to join him at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Lewandowski is regarded as one of the best strikers in the world. His presence at Bayern Munich has helped the club overcome the disappointing form of Thomas Müller this season. Lewandowski rescue once again proved his worth by scoring one of the goals in the 4-2 defeat for Bayern in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final meeting between the two teams. After the end of the game, it has been reported that Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos tried to persuade Lewandowski to consider a move to Madrid in the summer.
These reports are likely to anger Karim Benzema, who has been the club's first choice striker since his arrival in 2009. The Frenchman, though, has been suffering from inconsistent or poor form in recent seasons. Even though he is the favourite player of president Florentino Perez, it has been reported that the club may consider offers for the striker. Lewandowski may be brought in as a replacement, but it will not be an easy transfer.
The striker recently signed a contract worth around £75 million with Bayern Munich. Madrid will have to spend a lot of money in transfer fees and wages in order to bring him to the Spanish capital.
Lewandowski's contract does not run out until the summer of 2021. He has managed to score 47 goals in just 46 games for Munich this season. Yet, the former Borussia Dortmund striker, who came to the Allianz Arena on a free transfer, will not be happy with the campaign, as Bayern Munich will be going out of the Champions League even before reaching the semifinals. Lewandowski is still searching for his first Champions League winner's medal despite having played in the finals.

Der Garten
I think I might have accidentally recreated one of my favourite Sulamith Wulfing illustrations on my shelf, with a doll, a fern, and a pickle castor.
The tableau evolved over a course of 6 weeks as my fern grew around the doll, gradually enshrining her in a cascade of delicate, green fronds. Then, one day I looked at it, and noticed something familiar about it, like I'd seen it somewhere before and only just remembered it. And then I had it. It was Der Garten, by Sulamith Wulfing, of course.
It made me wonder how many other images I observe and then subconsciously internalize, appropriate, incorporate, and recreate into my own work on daily basis? Little fragments of information gathered up from a myriad of sources, coalescing into one form…How much of it is my thought, and how much of it is a book I read when I was five, or an oil painting I saw when I was seven, or a film I watched when I was 10?… How much of our identity comes from external influences, and how much of it is intrinsic? How much of Enchanted Doll is made up of my first impressions collected over the years, and how much of it was me?
I don't know.

life and art always seem to repeat each other. or replicate each other. its like, as an artist, one seems to create based on the aesthetics we see and remember, no matter what the source. its part of the creative process, which is always amazing, no matter where it comes from or how subconscious. being an artist is a trip in itself.
but i like the original drawing, and the composition you created out of whatever subconscious part of your memories…both are very serene.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and for the beautiful images.
Plus, now I know what a pickle castor is…had to google it.
Best Wishes.
It's inevitable that we are all products of our own environments and influences. But artists especially, have unique ways of expressing themselves, even if it is through the prism of their experiences. Their intelligence and personality and creativity still shine through as intrinsically their own. I believe this is especially true of you Marina. You are a leader in your field and all us lesser mortals can do, is follow. I tried to make a version of your wonderful Zhenzhen headpiece, I am also now the proud owner of of an interior globe de mariee and now I fear I must go in search of a pickle castor (even though I didn't know such a thing even existed until 5 minutes ago!) lol :)
I loved reading that… To be as talented you are, producing work that is both rich and delicate… To see your influences and let that aesthetic flow through your work is a gift. I obtained a book of Sulamith Wulfings work and after pouring over it I noticed the same aesthetic all at once in a photograph you took of your plants by the windows of a Sunday. That hazy misty softness, coupled with the fine detailed structures, the plants. At once vulnerable and strong. Your passion and capacity to express so much through the medium of Enchanted dolls, is awe inspiring. Your genius is yours. Sulamith Wulfings aesthetic may now be an intrinsic part of your poetry as an artist, however you r work is unique.
Thank for sharing your thoughts and this beauty. X i also want a pickle castor….
My first thought was Eve of Adam and Eve. I remember seeing the picture in my Sunday school class where the leaves strategically covered the "naughty" parts. Not here though! She is just so amazing!
At first, when I saw Sulamith's work and yours I didn't make a connection, but I was captivated by both. There is something in her images and something in your work that deeply attaches to my soul, the serene and calm compositions, the delicate flow of the lines. Both inspire me. I wasn't until I purchased your book at Comic-Con 2014 (I remember I felt so happy when I saw the book on Baby Tatto's Stand, I thought It was sold out and I wasn't going to get one) that I read that Sulamith was your inspiration and something similar happened to me with her work and your work, struggling in college with my identity of my work and then seeing yours and hers, it helped me so much in what I wanted to do with my illustrations. I think everyone is influenced by music, books, art, illustrations, architecture, experience, fashion and it's represented in their work, and I think it's really nice to tell the inspiration sources and don't hide where they come from if it's really obvious.
At first I thought it was a new doll for sale but then realized it was just a doll you already had growing in the forest in your house. It is such a gorgeous doll but also the way the picture was taken is very beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Such a beautiful and serene scene! I would love to have this in my work space, because it gives a sense of peace and calmness. I know that I am influenced by a part of a book that I have read or a movie that I have seen and definately all the beautiful things that go with your blog, Marina. I am sure, that most of us feel this way, as it is, only normal. Gathering thoughts and ideas from books, movies, etc, along with our own imagination and talents, is a good thing and fun to do. So nice and interesting to read your posting, this morning, Marina! Thank-you!
Did you ever re-discover that painting that you cut out from a magazine and turned into a paper doll when you were a child?
It's amazing how imagery can stick in our memories. I seem to forget most things – names, numbers, dates… but I can almost always rely on my memory when it comes to images!

H-1B Visa
What Is An H-1B Visa?
In the United States, an H-1B Visa is a type of nonimmigrant visa. When a company in the United States wants to employ a worker in a certain special field, then they can apply for an H-1B Visa. If you have a Bachelor's degree or higher in a special occupation, then you can apply for a H-1B Visa to come work for a company in the United States. Some of the fields that allow you to apply for an H1-B Visa are mathematics, science, medicine, engineering, architecture, accounting, finance, and information technology. If you have a high level of education in a special field and are looking for a visa to come work in the United States, then an H-B1 Visa is the type of visa you want to apply to obtain. H1-B Visas are easier to apply for than green cards, and more U.S. companies have a tendency to go for them because it is a quicker process. When a company wants to bring in a noncitizen for a longer term assignment within the United States, the best visa to obtain is the H-1B Visa.

The Ministry of Health today informed that it would be conducting an immediate investigation into the incident in which a non governmental institution had obtained blood & urine samples from residents of Rajarata.
Deputy Minister of Health Lalith Dissanayeke speaking to our news team noted that several complaints had been received from the public in this regard.
A special report concerning the prevalent kidney disease in Rajarata, which was compiled by an expert panel, is due to be handed over to the parliamentary select committee of the Department of Agriculture tomorrow.
Against this backdrop area residents of Madawachchiya state that NGO's have no part in obtaining samples of blood & urine from members of the public.
When contacted Deputy Minister of Health Lalith Dissanayeke expressed the following views to our news team.
The expert panel which conducted studies on the prevalent kidney disease in Rajarata recommended that a 10% tax be imported on agrochemicals which induce kidney disease.
Meanwhile, Minister of Agriculture Mahinda Yapa Abeywardhana stated that the government has proscribed the use of 3 verities of agro chemicals.
Addressing a media briefing held at the Weligama Urban Council Minister added that these varieties of agro chemicals had been proscribed from use based on recommendations submitted by the Pesticides Committee.
Minister Abeywardhana also noted that this decision had been ancillary influenced by the prevalent kidney disease currently spreading in the Rajarata area.

The last time I used aptitude (about six months ago, from Testing), I found it difficult to specify how I wanted dependencies (including recommends and suggests) to be satisfied. I like that fact that when I select a package in dselect which has several ways of satisfying its dependencies, dselect lets me choose what gets installed. Just because a package depends on a web server doesn't mean I want apache installed. While aptitude does tell you what it's going to install, and gives you an opportunity to change it, I couldn't get it to give me a list of acceptable alternatives. I am willing to accept that this might just be down to my own stupidity though. Roger (Sorry if I've broken the thread; I'm reading the web archive.)

Kashmiris are known as meat lovers in our region and of all the meat variety mutton/lamb is their favourite. Harissa or Hareesa is a traditional Kashmiri dish prepared with basically slow cooked meat, spinach and lentils, rice or wheat is added to the stew. The whole thing is usually cooked overnight over very low heat till all ingredients blend into one big simmering pot of comfort.
In the morning Kashmiris have this for breakfast with crisp kulcha or naan(flatbread)to energise the body and prepare for the day ahead. Especially in winters, waking up to this hearty breakfast is a soul warming experience.
This dish shows the Central Asian influence on Kashmiri culture. It's not to be mixed with the Tunisian peppers paste of the same name.
I owe this recipe to a good family friend, she was a Kashmiri, a splendid cook herself and very generous to share her family recipe of Harissa with me. My elder daughter is a huge fan of Kashmiri Harissa, so much that she requests for it even for her birthdays. It's great for a lazy Sunday brunch and big family gatherings as it can be prepared a day ahead and easily frozen.
Outside Kashmir the chicken and beef versions of the dish are also quite popular. Seekh kebabs and caramelised onions are added on top which make it quite an indulgence. I've modified the recipe a little to make it quicker and replaced the ghee or butter with olive oil.Its a stew you don't want to miss, specially when you are craving comfort.
For Kashmiri Harissa:
7 cups water
1 cup green mung lentils
1/2 kg boneless lamb, chicken or beef
2 medium onions (chopped)
1 inch piece of ginger (chopped)
4 cloves of garlic (chopped)
1 teaspoon red chili powder
1 teaspoon garam masala powder (mixed ground spices: cinnamon, black pepper corn, cumin seeds, cloves, black and green cardamom pods)
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 cinnamon sticks
4 tablespoon vegetable oil
a handful of spinach leaves
For Seekh Kebabs:
1/4 kg lamb/ beef/ chicken mince
1/2 onion finely chopped
1 teaspoon ginger, garlic paste
1 green chili finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon ground red chili
1/4 teaspoon ground garam masala
1/2 bread slice (soaked in milk)
salt to taste
Olive or sunflower oil for shallow frying
This Is What You Do:
In a large saucepan caramelize two onions.
Add meat, chopped ginger and garlic. Turn the heat to low, add 7 cups of water, cinnamon sticks and coriander.
Cover and let the broth simmer for half an hour, then add the lentils, ground chili, garam masala and salt. let it simmer for another 40 minutes or till the lentils and meat are well done.
Add the spinach, cook another 10 minutes. Turn off the heat, let the stew cool down, scoop out the cinnamon sticks.
When the stew is cool, spoon it into a food processor and blend it till all the ingredients become one. Pour it back into the pan and cook over low heat.
Dissolve 3 tablespoons of wheat flour in 3/4 cup water. Slowly pour the flour in the Harissa pan while stirring continuously.
Cover the pan and let it simmer till the flour thickens the stew a little and binds it all together in a Haleem like consistency.
Traditionally, Hareesa is served with kebabs and crisp fried onions as garnishing.
For Seekh Kebabs, add all the ingredients of kebabs into a food processor, blend for 1 minute. Make really tiny kebabs (the size of your little finger). Heat oil in a medium frying pan on medium-low heat. Drop kebabs in, fry on all side. They are so tiny that they will get done in a jiffy.
Spoon out Harissa in a serving bowl or individual deep plates, top with kebabs and fried onions.
Tip: Using a pressure cooker to make the stew would cut the cooking time in half.
Serves 6

Bullying Role Play
Bullying is a pattern of aggressive behavior that has the intention of hurting another person. Schools try to create a safe environment where children are free from this kind of behavior, but that is not always the case. In order for classrooms to be prepared to handle bullying, try to role play the behavior. For example, allow students to play the different roles, i.e. the bully, the victim and a by-stander. Be sure all students can define what bullying is and what they can do to defend themselves or to help someone else. Be sure to define your role as a teacher to help students who might be involved in being bullied or see it occurring.
This role-playing exercise does several things. It allows students to understand what bullying is so they can identify it if it happens. It also allows students to have a solution in advance so they will not be caught off guard not knowing what to do. It also creates a classroom environment where peers know that it is unacceptable to be a bully and to understand the consequences in advance.

Day One: Exploring IPv6 is a short primer on IPv6 concepts and related configuration on Junos. The Day One library consist of short books that aim to get you up to speed on a diversity of topics. The book on IPv6 contains a lot of lab examples and hands-on work, definitely a good thing. Read on to find out more.
The second chapter, "Getting started with IPv6" provides the lab topology that will be used for the rest of the book. It looks like this:
Chapter two is about about setting up the fundamentals of the lab. There is interface configuration, verifying all the links, viewing NDP information, and static routes to make everything reachable. My own lab was built using Wistar and vMX nodes. Still being inexperienced on the Juniper platform I did have a little trouble reading into one piece of the topology correctly. I mixed up the configuration for the links that hold subinterfaces. At first, I configured the addresses on local IRB instances with a corresponding bridge domain. I then placed the interfaces that were supposed to be subinterfaces in the bridge domains I created. Later, while configuring routing protocols, I realized the error I made and migrated everything to proper subinterfaces, which are way easier to configure on a vMX than the bridge domains by the way.
The configs for my labs are located here for OSPF3 and here for RIPng. Note that interfaces numbers in my configs are different than those in diagram in this post. All the basic interface configuration is left the same after chapter two, but the static routes have been removed. I left out my tryout configs for IS-IS. I almost got that part working properly but I still need a bit more general IS-IS knowledge so I decided to park this bit for later. My config files have the proper interface setup for the subinterfaces, in case anybody needs some help with that part.
Chapter 3, "Dynamic Routing with IPv6", has you configuring some routing protocols, as you might have guessed by now. There is some talk about the differences between the v4 and v6 versions of those protocols. For IS-IS, you really don't need to worry about any differences. RIPng is pretty easy too. If you are going to build an IPv6 network with OSPF however, keep some of the different inner workings like new LSA types in mind. The book gives a quick summary but if you really want to get into thismore , I suggest looking up some other, more expansive resources.
In my experience, both RIPng and OSPF3 where easy to get working. IS-IS was a different beast however. It probably didn't help that this was my first time ever configuring IS-IS. I got pretty far but I was struggling with LSP's in databases where I wouldn't expect them. Also, my level 1 only router wasn't getting any required routes advertised into it, not even a default route. Obviously I was still doing something wrong but I decided to get into the IS-IS specifics at a later time. I'm considering following this video course by Russ White on Safari.
All in all, this Day One book was pretty cool. I didn't learn a lot of new theoretical information because I'm already CCNP R&S; certified, but it was a cool inspiration to build some simple labs and try some Junos stuff out. Going through this definitely improved my confidence on the Junos CLI. I noticed that another Day One book, Day One: Exploring the Junos CLI, 2nd edition, was a good resource for looking up some commands.

Death of Aaron Swartz Underscores Need for Reforms He Championed
Much is being said about the suicide of Internet pioneer Aaron Swartz, to which I can add little except that it was a tragic end to a brilliant, troubled life. Whatever combination of factors led Swartz to take his own life, it's clear his death will serve as a grim indictment of the very legal structure he sought to upend—a system designed around older notions of copyright control and enforcement.
"There's a battle going on right now, a battle to define everything that happens on the Internet in terms of traditional things that the law understands," Swartz said last year, after helping to stop SOPA. He saw these "traditional things"—outmoded applications of concepts like copyright, DRM, licensing and fair use—as nothing less than a threat to freedom. Though sometimes taking his "hacktivist" work to controversial extremes, Swartz's actions helped define what's at stake in the effort to preserve and enhance the critical role of information in our culture even as traditional media companies struggle with radically new business models.
While the rights of content creators and copyright holders are obviously important, it is unhelpful to compare ripping a CD to ripping off a bank, or file downloads to home burglary. Pirating movies is frequently compared (by the movie industry) to stealing a car. This ignores the fact that creative works are never just commodities, and that demand for artistic and scientific ideas can be harnessed for profit in ways that acknowledge and respect the borderless nature of the Internet—working to leverage social sharing for marketing and e-commerce purposes, for instance.
Media entities really have no choice, as each attempt to strong-arm users only leads to embarrassment, or worse. Consider the music industry's MP3 wars, or the bruising battles over DRM. Already, in the wake of Swartz's death, influential bloggers are calling for scholars to associate themselves with open-access journals only. This is certainly not what JSTOR (the database hacked by Swartz) wants to see happen.
Swartz was never as extreme as some tried to paint him. He never said regulation shouldn't exist; he simply understood that new ways of creating, storing and distributing information require a different sort of regulatory scheme. As one of the developers of Creative Commons, he sought new, positive ways to allow for flexibility in the digital sphere.
One thing seems clear: again and again, old laws and existing interpretations prove themselves ham-fisted in the face of the current realities of information access. In the end, Swartz's life and death proved this to be only too correct.

The Original PotMaker: Roll Your Own
With spring comes time to plant. For plants that love the hot weather best their seeds may need to be planted indoors. To keep your garden extra "green" this year (and for years to come) you can recycle your newspapers into seedling pots with PotMaker®. Once the plants are large enough and the weather warm enough you don't have to disturb the tender new roots. Just plant the pot in the ground and it will degrade naturally into the soil.
The PotMaker itself is crafted in North America of natural maple and designed to serve you and your garden for many years. The gadget will save you money far into the future as you don't need to keep buying seedling pots of plastic or peat year after year. This will also save you money in being able to grow indoors from seeds rather than buying bedding plants and seedlings.
The pots themselves can be made quickly and easily. Even the kids can help with rolling the newspaper around the PotMaker and placing it in the base. Each pot is 2¼" X 2¼". Once the pots are made, just fill with potting soil and plant the seeds. These little paper pots are great for use with any kind of seeds -- flowers, vegetables, fruits, and herbs.
At the end of the season if there are any remaining bits of newspaper that have not completely broken down they can be tossed into the compost heap along with the remains of the plants.

Hi everyone. I hope everyone is settling into 2016 nicely. I do apologise about the month-long absence in posting. Traveling and other priorities have kept me from the blog. But I am back and I have a new high-mile story to tell you about.
Our first high-mile truck of the 2016 comes from Ahmad, and more specifically Ahmad's father. He owns a Toyota T100 truck and has put 520088 miles on it over the years. Ahmad's father has always done the maintenance on time and has kept the cabin nice an clean. Sadly, Ahmad's father is suffering from cancer, and Ahmad was hoping to put a smile on his father's face by linking the story here. I wish both Ahmad and his father the best, and I hope the T100 sees many more years of operations. Thanks for sharing your story with us Ahmad. I've posted the Odometer photo above.

If you're wondering how to hire a property manager, you have no doubt heard how this professional can be a boon to landlords who want to outsource the nitty-gritty details of running a rental property. But finding a good property manager can be challenging, since the quality level and services they provide really do run the gamut.
The key to hiring the right property manager for you is to draft a detailed job description and ask the right questions during the interview process. Here's how to do that, so you can find the perfect pro who will save you headaches rather than create new ones.
What does a property manager do?
First things first: Do you really need or want a property manager's services?
In an ideal world, "if you choose the right manager, it should make your life more peaceful and more profitable," says Kimberly Smith, author of "Making Money With Rental Properties," which is part of the Idiot's Guides series.
Some property managers will have connections that will help fill your vacant properties with good tenants who pay on time and never cause a ruckus. Furthermore, a skilled property manager can do everything from marketing to rental collection to handling day-to-day maintenance issues.
"The right property manager will be able to deliver more efficient management and, in some cases, less expensive services," Smith notes. In other words, paying a good property manager can actually save you money.
"For example, if they are managing 10 properties in one area, they can contract to have all HVAC systems serviced seasonally and get a volume discount," she explains.
How to hire a property manager: Ask for recommendations and references
Most employers check employee references before extending an offer, and hiring a property manager should entail the same steps.
When Brady Hanna, president of Mill Creek Home Buyers in Kansas City, KS, first got into real estate investment, he was busy, exhausted, and overwhelmed. He went with the first property management company he found, and it was a huge mistake. Hanna learned the hard way what happens when you don't ask around.
"They ended up filling my vacant unit, but as I scaled up and added several more properties, their communication was terrible," Hanna says. "It was like pulling teeth to get information out of them. Sometimes I couldn't reach a live person when I called, and several months in a row my rental income was paid significantly late and there were always excuses from the management company as to why."
Hanna fired the company and then asked other local real estate investors for recommendations. That's how he found the company he uses and trusts today.
"I would estimate that only roughly 20% of all property managers are great, so you want to find that out ahead of time instead of learning the hard way like I did," Hanna says.
How much do property managers make?
Property managers are paid in a variety of ways, so you need to come to an agreement with your manager based on your individual needs.
Hanna provides this guide for reference: "When filling vacant units, they will typically charge half to one full month's rent for marketing and filling your unit. Then on the ongoing management, the fee is usually anywhere between 7% to 10% of the rent collected. Some property managers will also charge an up-charge on maintenance items as well."
Check the property manager's qualifications
"A property manager that is acting on your behalf to lease and manage your property must assume fiduciary responsibility and needs to be a licensed real estate agent," Smith says.
Other requirements vary from state to state, but you can call the nonprofit National Property Management Association to find out what the rules are for your area. For example, some states require HOA management licenses or property management licenses.
Lay out clear expectations
Generally, a property manager's job is to manage the rental process from start to finish. That means "if the property is vacant, they will hire contractors to get it rent-ready at the owner's expense, take pictures of the property, market it for rent, screen applicants, handle the showings of the property, fill it with a tenant, collect rent, and handle all maintenance requests as well," Hanna says.
If tenants aren't paying, it's typically a property manager's job to file for evictions and work with attorneys to collect back rent.
But there is no standard property management job description, which means it's up to you to outline exactly what you are looking for from the get-go, Smith says. Do you want the start-to-finish management? Or are you looking to split the duties? This needs to be spelled out from Day 1.
Questions to ask a property manager
Not sure how to ascertain whether or not a manager can do the job you need? Hanna suggests asking the following questions:
- What is your process for screening applicants?
- How long does it typically take you to fill vacant units?
- How many units are you currently managing?
- How big is your staff?
- What is your process for maintenance requests?
- What is your process when a tenant doesn't pay rent on time?
- Have you filed evictions before? If so, how do you do that?
A good property manager should readily have answers to these questions—and if not, that's a red flag. Remember, the whole point is for the pro to make your landlord duties easier, and part of that is simply establishing clear communication and a comfortable rapport.

The US Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) recently posted new guidance "to highlight and explain continuing obligations relating to [10 CFR] Part 810, especially as they relate to post-employment activities such as independent consulting or employment by a nuclear related company." Based on prior NNSA statements, this guidance is a direct response to recent criminal cases, which highlighted for NNSA that retirees from US nuclear companies might not be aware of their continuing obligations to protect Part 810-controlled information. The training does a good job of summarizing Part 810's requirements, and is a good step towards protecting US national security and non-proliferations interests, but the slide deck contains a few statements that require clarification.
NNSA's guidance takes the form of a slide presentation and a template certification for employees to sign after they take the training.
By way of background, Part 810 restricts the sharing of certain non-public nuclear "technology" with foreign nationals, both within and outside of the United States. As defined in Part 810, technology "means assistance or technical data required for the development, production or use of any plant, facility, or especially designed or prepared equipment for the activities described" in Part 810. The activities referenced in Part 810 include most of the nuclear fuel cycle, including fuel fabrication and nuclear reactors.
Before sharing Part 810-controlled information with a foreign national, a company or an individual must ensure that their activities are covered by an authorization issued by NNSA. NNSA issues two types of authorizations: a "general" authorization that is issued by regulation, and a "specific" authorization that requires the Department of Energy's prior written approval.
After summarizing the scope of Part 810, NNSA's training takes a Q&A format to address "Common Misunderstandings" about Part 810. These responses provide helpful reminders about how to comply with Part 810, such as: "Pay particular attention to questions that are not 'on topic' during conferences or training sessions."
However, the slide deck contains a few statements that require clarification. First, the slide deck states that "NNSA also does not consider information available only through search engines or Wikipedia to be 'public' for the purposes of Part 810. Few people would base any significant work on information from unknown sources." This is inconsistent with Part 810, because Section 810.2(c)(3) explicitly exempts "publicly available information" from the scope of Part 810. Information that is available from public search engines would, by definition, be publicly available and, therefore, not be covered by Part 810. The intent of the slide is to point out that, to the extent a consultant is doing anything more than providing a foreign national with a document directly from a publicly available website—such as providing technical embellishment—the consultant should consider whether Part 810 applies to their work. But the statement about search engines needs clarification.
Second, the slides state that "Consultants are responsible for ensuring that any technology or assistance they provide to a U.S. company is not ultimately being passed to a foreign end user, unless the foreign end user is duly authorized to receive it under Part 810." This statement also goes too far. For example, transfers of Part 810-controlled information from a US consultant in Ohio to a US company in Texas are not covered by Part 810. If the US company in Texas includes the consultant's advice into reactor-related software for export to Saudi Arabia, it is the company in Texas that must acquire the Part 810 authorization. NNSA is correct to point out in the training that if you are working "through" a US company, which involves a consultant directly communicating or visiting the ultimate foreign customer that results in providing technical assistance under Part 810, then the consultant needs his or her own Part 810 authorization, or needs to confirm that he or she is covered by one applicable to the US company that hired them.
Morgan Lewis will continue to monitor NNSA's implementation and interpretation of Part 810.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a crippling psychological problem, one of the most difficult I've seen in my practice. Its main features are a way of looking at the world that lead to extreme shifts in emotion, chaotic relationships, and a lack of identity. Clients who suffer from BPD also report that they often feel numb or empty, almost like a shell of a person. What is perhaps most disturbing is that very often clients will engage in self-harming behaviors such as cutting, scratching, or burning of one's own body (known as para-suicidal behavior) and some will periodically make full-blown suicide attempts.
It is not certain why the para-suicidal behavior occurs, but most of the people I have seen with BPD report that the physical pain not only serves as a distraction from any emotional pain, but can also serve as a reminder that they can experience pain, that the physical sensation of being cut or burned eradicates the numbness that they often experience herunterladen. Traditionally diagnosed mainly in females, no one knows exactly what causes it, and it is certainly one of the more difficult conditions to treat, with people needing to be in therapy and on medication for years if not for life just to manage the symptoms.
The most prevalent form of treatment for BPD is known as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In many ways DBT is more like a course than a therapy, with both individual therapy and a weekly group meeting where clients learn skills to help them deal with painful emotions. Medication is often used as well, which purportedly keeps the mood swings to a minimum and can help with concomitant disorders like depression and anxiety, but the bottom line is: how do you medicate a personality bitdefender internet security kostenlos download?
Right after I completed graduate school, I took a training position solely focused on the treatment of BPD. It was basically a one-year crash course in DBT, and I worked both individually and in groups with women who were in their own private hell. Because people with BPD often think in "all-or-none" terms, their relationships with other people are often horrendous. When they meet a new person who is nice, that person is placed on a pedestal. When that same person forgets to call a week later, he or she becomes the Anti-Christ.
Because I fancy my therapeutic style as nurturing and rarely confrontational at the outset of treatment, many of the women saw me as the beacon of hope and all that is good, pure and true. Within a month, however, I had one woman attempt to put out a cigarette on my forehead, another throw a half-full can of soda at my chest, and yet a third dump a cup of hot tea on my lap codec kostenlosen. Maybe it was naiveté, but I never got angry when these things happened. Make no mistake, however: each person was kicked out of session (for what is known as "therapy-interfering behavior") and I held each one accountable by demanding an apology upon their return at the next session – I was told that I could charge them for dry cleaning if they ever damaged my clothes beyond laundry repair – but I never saw these women as being malicious. I saw them as sick and in pain and needing help.
The women were held to similar standards regarding their self-harming behavior, based on the treatment's philosophy that the number one priority was to stop the person from inflicting physical pain upon herself. Clients would sometimes get distressed in the group setting and start to scratch at their face. Or a woman would slice the back of her hand with her car key when confronted on being late. I had a client who also suffered from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, so not only did she slice her arms up and down with a razor, she did it with precision: a one inch by eight inch box of incisions, making her arm look as if someone had painted a perfectly shaped brick on her arm promobil appen.
When behaviors like these were done at home and reported to the therapist in session, it was discussed at length, regardless of what the client wished to focus on that session. If it was done in the office, the patient was either sent to the hospital or home. Every client in the program signed an agreement that they would always be nurtured by the clinicians but never coddled, and would be held accountable for what they did to their bodies.
When I went into practice on my own, I left most of that work behind. It's very difficult to hold group settings in small offices in New York City, and clients with extreme problems such as those seen in BPD very often need to be seen in clinic settings, where there are multiple clinicians available to handle the inevitable emergencies and crises that are part and parcel of doing DBT. A single clinician attempting to tackle those difficulties is begging for a very high failure rate in his or her practice. Along those lines, research shows that a lack of success in one's practice is the number one cause of "burnout" in therapists tera herunterladen.
When Gina contacted me she asked to be seen for "fucking myself up." She wouldn't say much over the phone, as she had called from work, so we simply agreed to meet in the office as soon as possible. When she arrived, she proved to be a small woman who couldn't have been more than 22, with long sleeves over her arms, despite the sweltering 90 degree heat. I flashed back to my days doing DBT, when embarrassed clients would often wear clothes that covered their brutalized skin, independent of weather.
I often begin the initial session by letting a client know that this is her time to tell me what is troubling her and that I will do my best formulate a plan that will hopefully be of use to her. I always tell clients that I may need to interject to ask a question or get some clarifying information, but that for the most part I will be doing much more listening than speaking google chrome for free german. Gina quickly went into the story of her life and how she came to feel so miserable. When she had concluded, I immediately asked about her self-harming behaviors.
"Dr. Dobrenski, I know I have Borderline Personality Disorder," she responded. "I've been reading about it on the internet, and I have the symptoms."
Client Rule: Don't diagnose yourself.
"Alright, let's discuss the symptoms a bit. What particular ones are you talking about?"
"I hurt myself all the time."
"How do you hurt yourself?"
"I hurt my arms."
Even though I'm not a physician, I often ask to see the cuts that a client makes, just in case the injuries are serious enough to require immediate medical attention. Gina had no problem showing me her arms. She rolled up her sleeves revealing two red patches on each wrist, somewhat circular, about the diameter of a golf ball herunterladen.
"These look like rug burns," I said.
"They're from a razor. My boyfriend's razor."
"This may sound like a stupid question, but what kind of razor does your boyfriend use?"
"A Norelco. Cool Skin, I think."
"Were you trying to cut yourself with an electric razor?"
"I'm so stupid! I can't even hurt myself the right way."
It crossed my mind that she could try to swallow the razor, but failing that, she wasn't doing any damage with her boyfriend's hair remover.
"Is that why you think you have BPD, because of these attempts to hurt yourself?"
"Yes, that's what girls with Borderline do," she said.
"Well that's what some people do who have BPD, but not everyone. Do you have other symptoms?"
"Um, I have problems with my boyfriend herunterladen. He makes me so mad!"
"Okay, tell me about that."
Gina went on to describe what was not the best relationship in the world, but I'd certainly heard – and probably had experienced – worse. Having met her boyfriend at age 16, they had had their share of fights over the years, arguing about things that teenagers argue about. Gina never viewed him as either a saint or vile sinner (one of the potentially necessary criteria for diagnosis of BPD), their arguments never went beyond the occasional hang-up in a fit of frustration (and therefore not a symptom), nor did she ever experience any unusual distress during the many break-ups that young couples have (again, not a symptom).
"Gina, do you ever engage in potentially dangerous activities (yet another potential requirement) to cope when you feel upset?"
"No, not really. I tend to sleep a lot, and sometimes I don't follow my diet very well."
These symptoms are more commonly seen in depressive disorders, so I took Gina through the series of questions to confirm that diagnosis navision kostenlos deutsch. It proved to be a much more accurate diagnosis than BPD.
"Gina, this sounds like a depressive episode to me."
"Then why was I trying to hurt myself?"
"Only you would know that for sure, but my guess is that you don't really want to hurt yourself, you're simply trying to get rid of your emotional pain. And people with depression make suicidal or parasuicidal attempts as well."
"So I'm not that bad?"
"I would never suggest that you are in less pain than someone else, regardless of what your diagnosis is. It sounds like life is very hard for you right now and that you could use some help. I will say, and this is good news, that therapy and medication have a better success rate with depression than they do for BPD, so I hope that makes you feel a bit better."
Gina looked relieved to know that she had misdiagnosed herself. "Well, my boyfriend says that there's nothing wrong with me, that I'm just a crazy bitch. I guess he's wrong then!"
Gina and I developed a treatment plan for depression, which involved Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, a visit to the psychiatrist, and a contract with me to dispose of all speciously dangerous items in her home: electric razors, rubber X-acto knives and those little scissors with the purple handles that children use herunterladen. Just in case.
Eight months later the boyfriend was history, Gina was enjoying life again, and her medication and therapy were done.
Readers take note: you only get one body, so if you're damaging it, get help. Writing this piece reminded me of many women I worked with who were and perhaps still are suffering tremendously. Psychology and psychiatry certainly have their limits, especially with a condition as nefarious as BPD, but with the intensive help that is available, your life can be better.

Nonhero-necromancer (3.5e Optimized Character Build)
From D&D Wiki
this is a overall guide to various tricks for the necromancer, much like sir milo teabag's Hero Bard Baby. everyone can freely add tricks for necromancers here.
Free Healing All Day Long[edit]
Pick up the Tomb-Tainted Soul feat in Libris Mortis. Poof, free healing all day long via Charnel Touch. Tell everyone in the party to get one, and you'll never need another wand of cure light wounds/wand of lesser vigor again.
ultimate necromancer[edit]
this a trick that will require some houseruling from your DM. it's simply about using the arcane preparation feat from complete arcane to make a dread necromancer qualify for the ultimate magus PrC from complete mage.
heroes of horror, complete arcane, complete mage
final progression and highlights[edit]
dread necromancer 8/ultimate magus 1 the dread necromancer have an ability called undead mastery, which basically adds your charisma bonus to your caster level while dtermining maximum crontrolled undead. thats very powerful by itself, and all detailed here: Undead Controller. but add this to the caster level increase of ultimate magus, and thats something. the only problem is ultimate magus rquires us to prepare arcane spells, and dread necromancers are spontanous casters. but there is a work-around. take arcane preparation feat, from complete arcane, and that solves the problem, right? sadly no. ultimate magus specifies that you must prepare from a spellbook, and arcane mastery doesn't say you use a spellbook. but im pretty sure you can make your DM houserule that it works. ultimate magus are still only worth one level, because most of it's power is in the spellcasting level increase for preparation class, and again, that doesn't count dread necromancer.
Back to Main Page → 3.5e Homebrew → Optimized Character Builds
ultimate necromancer minion trick[edit]
Hey DM giving your problems with not the right corpses? Forcing you to stick to humans or other useless non Strength/Dexterity high creatures that are not large/huge or bigger? Well worry no longer! A simple spell/trick to turn useless junk in to powerful minions! Polymorph any object your dead bodys or spell components into corpses of huge strong monsters. Example's include Dragons hearts, demon flesh, Demon hearts, Dragon scale armour of any kind or quality! On a similar vein tried of only using weak undead? want say some vampires or liches to your army? Well you are in luck as polymorph any object can ALSO turn some of your stock skeletons/zombies into Vampires/lich/ghosts/bleekborn or any other undead you can think of that only has 15 HD or less.
Minion Trick Two
Always cast descrate when creating undead as it gives you +1 hp on the die, and if you have an alter of a dark god that bonus doubles. Please remember this when you decide to turn YOURSELF undead as well please so many people forget to desecrate their own elevation to undead hood. (remember this also stacks (the hp only) with corpse crater and a dread necromancers level 8 ability. ) potentially giving you +6 HP on the die. Who is the tank now MR fighter.....) considering the price you pay to raise your own minions/ascend yourself to the higher ranks of immortality the trivial cost of desecrate is nothing but pure lazyness not to use it! If you are turning yourself into a lich or Necroplian Please either cast or have someone cast for you a desecrate (with an alter if you can swing it)
