Hello you, and welcome to inside the mind of an Obsessive Compulsive Designer.
Summer means later nights, more activities, and hotter temperatures. It's sometimes hard to keep your skin nice and clear during the excessively hot summer months. Over the years, I've learned a few tips and tricks that I want to pass on to you guys to help your skin out this summer! The best part is, none of these tips are difficult or come with a high price tag. Keep reading to take the first step towards better looking skin!
Use Oil To Moisturize
I swear by using oil to moisturize! I use my rosehip oil every single night before bed. If you aren't already using an oil to moisturize, I highly recommend trying it out. It's going to be lighter weight in the summer and feel much better on your skin during the heat.
Regularly Clean Your Sunnies
Something a lot of people overlook is how much more often they are using their sunglasses. It's so important to clean your sunnies more regularly to prevent oil and bacteria from building up.
Up Your Vitamin D Intake
Get outside and enjoy the sunshine! It's so great for many reasons; but, your skin will look much better after some good ol' sunshine.
Change Out Your Pillow Cases More Often
During the warmer months, be sure to swap out your pillow cases for fresh ones every couple days. You're sweating more during the night and definitely don't want all of that build up getting anywhere near your pores!
Be Sure To Use Sunscreen Daily
Always rule number one. Anyone could tell you that you need sunscreen every day, not just the summer months. Your skin will DEFINITELY thank you later for the extra protection. (Tip : Use a BB cream or moisturizer with sunscreen already mixed in to avoid a step!)
Leave me a comment below telling me how you plan on keeping your skin radiant this summer!

2. Poll Showing Sheehan's Lack of Impact Buried by ABC and WashPost
3. Reporters Blame Global Warming for Katrina, Not Even NYT Buys It
CNN's Cafferty Takes Shot at Bush's "Vacation"
In the 5pm EDT half hour Tuesday of CNN's The Situation Room, Jack Cafferty used the hurricane as an excuse to trash President Bush for being on vacation, as if the location of Bush, who already authorized federal action, has any impact on that federal response to the devastation. Cafferty asked host Wolf Blitzer: "Where's President Bush? Is he still on vacation?" Blitzer answered that "he's cut short his vacation. He's coming back to Washington tomorrow." Cafferty snidely contended: "Well, that would be a good idea. He was out in San Diego, I think, at a Naval air station giving a speech on Japan and the war in Iraq today. Based on his approval rating in the latest polls, my guess is getting back to work might not be a terrible idea."
[This item was posted Tuesday night on the MRC's new blog, NewsBusters: www.newsbusters.org ]
Setting up his 5pm EDT hour "question" for his "Cafferty File" segment, Cafferty, in Manhattan, opined about the condition of New Orleans: "They've been living on borrowed time. You have to wonder, watching these pictures, and listening to these accounts, if we'll ever see the city of New Orleans as we all remember the Big Easy. Where's President Bush? Is he still on vacation?"
Cafferty proceeded to set up and announce his hourly question: "Before Hurricane Katrina made landfall, the mayor of New Orleans ordered a mandatory evacuation of the city, told 1.3 million people to get out of town. But a lot of people either ignored the order or were unable to evacuate. And now a lot of them are trapped in their flooded homes or worst. The fear is a lot of them are dead. The thousands who wound up spending the night in the Superdome had an uncomfortable stay. They lost the air conditioning. They lost part of the roof. But they're alive today. The question is this: When the government orders mandatory evacuations, what should be done about people who either can't or won't leave? firstname.lastname@example.com. We'll read some of your letters in a half-hour or so."
Poll Showing Sheehan's Lack of Impact
A new ABC News/Washington Post poll found that an overwhelming 89 percent maintained Cindy Sheehan's protests have had no effect on their view of the Iraq war, with the remaining respondents split evenly between saying her efforts made them more or less likely to support the war, but you'd be hard know it since, in part thanks to hurricane coverage, ABC's World News Tonight didn't report anything on the poll Monday or Tuesday night while Good Morning America squeezed in a short item Tuesday morning. Wednesday's Washington Post didn't get to the Sheehan finding until the next to last (24th) paragraph of a story headlined, "President's Poll Rating Falls to a New Low: In Post-ABC Survey, 53 Percent of Respondents Say They Disapprove of Bush."
In the 7:30am half hour of the August 30 Good Morning America, news reader Claire Shipman noted: "Mr. Bush is in San Diego today where his focus continues to be bolstering public support for the war in Iraq. A new ABC News/Washington Post poll shows the campaign by Cindy Sheehan has had little effect on public opinion about the war. 79 percent say they haven't been swayed by the Gold Star mom. And the public seems evenly divided on the question of whether Mr. Bush should meet again with Sheehan."
On screen as Shipman spoke, two graphics. First:
The Washington Post first reported some of the poll's findings in a 7am EDT posting Tuesday morning on the paper's Web site. Near the end of the August 31 print edition story, reporters Richard Morin and Dan Balz relayed:

Reporters Blame Global Warming for Katrina,
Some in the media have blamed the ferocity of Hurricane Katrina on global warming. NBC's Robert Bazell warned on Monday's NBC Nightly News, in a story carried repeatedly on MSNBC, that "many scientists say we can expect such storms more often as global warming increases sea temperatures around the world." In a Monday posting on Time.com. Jeffrey Kluger forwarded that "to hear a lot of people tell it, we have only ourselves -- and our global-warming ways -- to blame." Kluger conceded that "hurricanes were around a long, long time before human beings began chopping down rainforests and fouling the atmosphere," but he concluded that in the future global warming "could make even Katrina look mild." Former Washington Post and Boston Globe reporter Ross Gelbspan, in a Tuesday Boston Globe op-ed, charged: "The hurricane that struck Louisiana yesterday was nicknamed Katrina by the National Weather Service. Its real name is global warming." In contrast, the New York Times remarkably reported Tuesday: "Because hurricanes form over warm ocean water, it is easy to assume that the recent rise in their number and ferocity is because of global warming. But that is not the case, scientists say."
"Is Global Warming Fueling Katrina?" asked the headline over an August 29 "Web exclusive" posted on Time.com. The subhead summary: "Warm ocean temperatures are a key ingredient for monster hurricanes, prompting some scientists to believe that global warming is exacerbating our storm troubles."
An excerpt:
The people of New Orleans are surely not thinking about wind vortices, the coriolis effect or the dampness of the troposphere as they hunker down during hurricane Katrina this morning. They're mostly thinking about the savage rains and 140 mph winds that have driven them from their homes. But it's that meteorological arcana that's made such a mess of the bayou, and to hear a lot of people tell it, we have only -- ourselves and our global-warming ways -- to blame.
One thing's for sure: hurricanes were around a long, long time before human beings began chopping down rainforests and fouling the atmosphere....
So is global warming making the problem worse? Superficially, the numbers say yes -- or -- at least they seem to if you live in the U.S. From 1995 to 1999, a record 33 hurricanes struck the Atlantic basin, and that doesn't include 1992's horrific Hurricane Andrew, which clawed its way across south Florida in 1992, causing $27 billion dollars worth of damage. More-frequent hurricanes are part of most global warming models, and as mean temperatures rise worldwide, it's hard not to make a connection between the two. But hurricane-scale storms occur all over the world, and in some places -- including the North Indian ocean and the region near Australia -- the number has actually fallen. Even in the U.S., the period from 1991 to 1994 was a time of record hurricane quietude, with the dramatic exception of Andrew.
Just why some areas of the world get hit harder than others at different times is impossible to say. Everything from random atmospheric fluctuations to the periodic warming of the Pacific Ocean known as El Nino can be responsible. But even if all these variables have combined to keep the number of hurricanes worldwide about the same, the storms do appear to be more intense. One especially sobering study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that hurricane wind speeds have increased about 50% in the past 50 years. And since warm oceans are such a critical ingredient in hurricane formation, anything that gets the water warming more could get the storms growing worse. Global warming, in theory at least, would be more than sufficient to do that. While the people of New Orleans may not see another hurricane for years, the next one they do see could make even Katrina look mild.

"Katrina's real name" read the headline over the fear-mongering August 30 Boston Globe op-ed by Ross Gelbspan which reads like a parody but is apparently quite serious. An excerpt:
THE HURRICANE that struck Louisiana yesterday was nicknamed Katrina by the National Weather Service. Its real name is global warming.
When the year began with a two-foot snowfall in Los Angeles, the cause was global warming.
When 124-mile-an-hour winds shut down nuclear plants in Scandinavia and cut power to hundreds of thousands of people in Ireland and the United Kingdom, the driver was global warming.
When a severe drought in the Midwest dropped water levels in the Missouri River to their lowest on record earlier this summer, the reason was global warming.
In July, when the worst drought on record triggered wildfires in Spain and Portugal and left water levels in France at their lowest in 30 years, the explanation was global warming....
As the atmosphere warms, it generates longer droughts, more-intense downpours, more-frequent heat waves, and more-severe storms.
Although Katrina began as a relatively small hurricane that glanced off south Florida, it was supercharged with extraordinary intensity by the relatively blistering sea surface temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico.
The consequences are as heartbreaking as they are terrifying.
Unfortunately, very few people in America know the real name of Hurricane Katrina because the coal and oil industries have spent millions of dollars to keep the public in doubt about the issue....
In 2000, big oil and big coal scored their biggest electoral victory yet when President George W. Bush was elected president -- and subsequently took suggestions from the industry for his climate and energy policies.
As the pace of climate change accelerates, many researchers fear we have already entered a period of irreversible runaway climate change.
Against this background, the ignorance of the American public about global warming stands out as an indictment of the U.S. media....
For years, the fossil fuel industry has lobbied the media to accord the same weight to a handful of global warming skeptics that it accords the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change -- more than 2,000 scientists from 100 countries reporting to the United Nations.
Today, with the science having become even more robust -- and the impacts as visible as the megastorm that covered much of the Gulf of Mexico -- the press bears a share of the guilt for our self-induced destruction with the oil and coal industries....

The full name of one of those books, Boiling Point: How Politicians, Big Oil and Coal, Journalists and Activists Are Fueling the Climate Crisis -- And What We Can Do to Avert Disaster.
From the Publishers Weekly summary as posted by Amazon.com: "Gelbspan, a Pulitzer Prize'€"winning journalist, offers no less than a call to arms in this treatise on how global warming is a threat and how it can be avoided. Gelbspan expands the argument about global warming: not only is the current U.S. administration to blame, but journalists and activists are as well. Journalists, he says, are culpable because they are minimizing the story; activists, while well-meaning, are so busy trying to form alliances and make compromises that they lose sight of a problem that Gelbspan believes could ultimately compromise the planet. Gelbspan writes clearly, and he argues that Republican members of Congress have latched onto theories of the few scientists who don't believe that global warming is a major problem...."
The Amazon page: www.amazon.com
Gelbspan's own Web site: www.heatisonline.org
An excerpt from his profile of himself which touts how several media outlets have favorably assessed his claims:
Ross Gelbspan retired several years ago after a 31-year career in journalism as a reporter. As special projects editor of The Boston Globe, he conceived, directed and edited a series of articles that won a Pulitzer Prize in 1984.
In 1995, he co-authored an article on climate change and the spread of infectious disease which appeared in the Outlook Section of The Washington Post. His article on climate change, which appeared on the cover of the December, 1995 issue of Harper's Magazine, was a finalist for a National Magazine Award.
In 1997, he published a book on the global climate crisis titled: The Heat Is On: The High Stakes Battle Over Earth's Threatened Climate (Perseus Books). The book has also been published in German, Italian and Portuguese. (An updated U.S. paperback edition was published in 1998 (Perseus Books), as: The Heat Is On: the Climate Crisis, the Cover-Up, the Prescription).
The book received very positive reviews in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe, Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the science journal, Nature and elsewhere. It was excerpted in The Washington Post, the San Jose Mercury and other outlets.
It received national attention that summer when President Clinton told the press he was reading The Heat Is On.
Since the book's publication, Gelbspan has appeared in numerous radio and television interviews, including "Nightline," "All Things Considered" and "Talk of the Nation." He was invited to the World Economic Forum in Switzerland in February, 1998, where he addressed government ministers and leaders of multi-national corporations.
In 2004, Gelbspan published Boiling Point: How Politicians, Big Oil and Coal, Journalists, and Activists are Fueling the Climate Crisis -- and What We Can Do to Avert Disaster (Basic Book). The book received the lead review, written by Al Gore, in the Sunday New York Times Book Review that August....
Over the course of his career, Gelbspan worked at The Philadelphia Bulletin, The Washington Post, the Village Voice, Scripps Howard, where he was a national news editor, and The Boston Globe. He has also taught at the Columbia University School of Journalism.
In 1971, he spent a month in the Soviet Union interviewing Soviet dissidents and human rights advocates. His four-part series on the Soviet underground was reprinted in the Congressional Record. In 1974, he edited a book for Scripps-Howard on the Congressional Watergate Committee hearings.
In 1979, the Boston Globe hired Gelbspan as a senior editor. In his capacity as special projects editor, he conceived, directed and edited a series of articles on job discrimination against African-Americans in Boston-area corporations, universities, unions, newspapers and state and city government. The series won a Pulitzer Prize in 1984.

The Globe did devote a small box to critics. Wrote Gelbspan: "These voices are increasingly in the minority. And as evidence has accumulated, the tide of the debate has swung increasingly toward those who believe that the Earth's ability to withstand untrammeled human activity has reached the breaking point." Gelbspan quoted greenhouse promoter Stephen Schneider: "It is journalistically irresponsible to present both sides as if it were a question of balance...It is irresponsible to give equal time to a few people standing out in left field." Gelbspan ignored a Gallup poll of 400 climate experts from the American Meteorological Society and the American Geophysical Union. While 60 percent agreed global temperatures rose in the last century, only 19 percent believed that warming was induced by human activity. Nobody reported that.
END of Excerpt from MediaWatch
Tuesday's New York Times, of all places, carried a story which undercut Bazell, Time magazine and Gelbspan. An excerpt from "Storms Vary With Cycles, Experts Say," by Kenneth Chang:
Because hurricanes form over warm ocean water, it is easy to assume that the recent rise in their number and ferocity is because of global warming.
But that is not the case, scientists say. Instead, the severity of hurricane seasons changes with cycles of temperatures of several decades in the Atlantic Ocean. The recent onslaught "is very much natural," said William M. Gray, a professor of atmospheric science at Colorado State University who issues forecasts for the hurricane season.
From 1970 to 1994, the Atlantic was relatively quiet, with no more than three major hurricanes in any year and none at all in three of those years. Cooler water in the North Atlantic strengthened wind shear, which tends to tear storms apart before they turn into hurricanes.
In 1995, hurricane patterns reverted to the active mode of the 1950's and 60's. From 1995 to 2003, 32 major hurricanes, with sustained winds of 111 miles per hour or greater, stormed across the Atlantic. It was chance, Dr. Gray said, that only three of them struck the United States at full strength.
Historically, the rate has been 1 in 3.
Then last year, three major hurricanes, half of the six that formed during the season, hit the United States. A fourth, Frances, weakened before striking Florida....

FNC's Special Report with Brit Hume on Tuesday also took on the 'global warming caused Katrina theory,' bringing aboard University of Virginia environmental sciences professor Patrick Michaels. The MRC's Brad Wilmouth corrected the closed-captioning against the video.
Brit Hume: "A writer in the Boston Globe today declared that the hurricane that has wreaked such damage along the Gulf coast may be called Katrina, but it's real name, he said, is global warming. Journalist and author Ross Gelbspan noted that Katrina began as a minor hurricane, but that was before, quote, 'it was supercharged with extraordinary intensity by the relatively blistering sea surface temperatures on the Gulf of Mexico,' which he says were, or suggests, were a consequence of global warming. Let's ask Patrick Michaels, senior fellow in environmental studies at the libertarian CATO Institute and a professor at the University of Virginia, about all of this. He joins me from Charlottesville, Virginia....What about this idea that we had a minor hurricane, drifted across Florida with little damage, and then got reheated by the very hot water in the Gulf of Mexico into this catastrophic hurricane?"

Stephen Murphy is proof that you can be entrepreneurial and philanthropic at the same time. While his Los Angeles real estate investment firm, American Capital Investments, has grown to $50 million in assets in just a few years, Murphy, once a homeless Vietnam War veteran, has done more than donate cash to charities. He has used his contacts and management expertise to buy housing for other homeless vets.
Rarely can a charitable donation be structured so that the tax benefits wipe out its cost. For example, for a corporation in the 34% tax bracket, a $10,000 donation costs $6,600 after taxes. But deals can be structured to minimize cash-flow costs, as Murphy can show. In one case, he bought a run-down house for $127,000. "The cash outlay was $5,000 for the down payment,' he explains. But he gained tax deductions for that outlay and for mortgage-interest payments.

text: I have a ruby program that I use to generate text files from a single array's data, but what I would like to do is be able to have it generate files from multiple arrays and save them in a different folder when it starts writing files from a different array. One problem I'm facing is how to read an array from a file. If I have a file with an only an array in it, how do I apply a method such as ".generate" to the array? Do I name the array inside the file, such as "array1" and then apply the method ".generate"? Or can it be applied to the file itself, such as "file1.generate"? cities = ['Nashville', 'Orlando', 'Tampa' 'Memphis' ] cities.each do |city| output = %Q(#{city}) ###################################### # #Saves File. # ###################################### File::open("C:\\Documents And Settings\\Administrator\\Desktop\\city\\#{city.downcase.delete(' ')}.txt", 'w') do |f| f.write output end end I'm not sure of the best way to expand this code to have it generate files for multiple arrays and have each array's generated files be saved in a separate folder instead of all of them together.

504 plans are developed by school teams and parents to support the educational needs of a K–12 student with a disability that substantially limits one or more major life activities (caring for one's self, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning and working). The student must have a record of an impairment and be regarded as having such impairment.
In order to fulfill its obligation under Section 504, the Surry County School System recognizes a responsibility to avoid discrimination in policies and practices regarding its personnel and its students. No discrimination against any person with a disability will knowingly be permitted in any program or practices in the school system.
Any student believed to be in need of special services not available through existing programs may be referred by a parent, teacher or licensed school employee to the Student Services Team (SST). The SST considers the referral and all available information to determine whether to request evaluation. The SST gathers information about the disability and the impact of the disability upon the student's education. Evaluation information must include academic assessments and regular classroom performance. Evaluation information can include social/emotional/behavioral assessment; medical, physical, sensory assessment; other assessments and observations requested by the SST. Parents are invited to participate in the decision meetings and to review the 504 procedure.
If a student is eligible for Section 504 services, the Licensed Instructional School Personnel writes an Accommodation Plan. All staff that work with the student review the contents of the plan each semester. The SST reviews the Accommodation Plan annually.

Oluwaseyi Osho, an undergraduate of Department of English, Faculty of Arts, University of Lagos, has won the Niche Prize for Poetry, defeating three other contestants. The programme was organised by FinishedWorks Enterprise at the Faculty of Arts, University of Lagos. The programme was sponsored by United Bank for Africa, Peak Milk, Print Planet and Larboni.

Kehinde Okeowo, a representative of the Niche online publication, said the award was designed to stimulate and encourage students in the Department of English to develop more interest in poetry. He also promised that his organisation would continue to support the organisers in their quest to improve reading culture in Nigeria.
Chief Executive Officer, Finishedwork Entreprises, Mrs Lechi Eke, in her address of welcome, said the purpose of literature was for language and communication, hence, people should pay attention to the message.
With language, said Eke, people could communicate joy, give peace, persuade others to exercise patience or drive people to protest, riot or to mutiny. So, it was with literature.

She observed the situation today in our country called for literary agents to arise, pick up their pens, protest, condemn, jeer, make fun and ridicule the political class, because literature was the most powerful tool to bring about correction, especially in the polity of a country through satire.
"Satire exposes your weakness and ridicules it. Satire brings down the high and mighty and laughs at them. It says, 'You think you're a well-dressed man; you have no idea that when you turn; there's a slit in your trousers, and your buttocks are exposed!'"
Eke further stated, "When folly is exalted and allows to crash like a punctured balloon, you achieve great points. So, I urge great men and women, (literati) to drive the conversation and provide literary pressure against the rulers. Please, pick up your pens and attack the evils in our land.
Speaking on the reading culture, Dr Moji Shodipe noted, "Reading is one of the basic skills of any basic learner. All other skills have the basis in reading, and that is why some of the best writers have done a lot of reading. Reading is an essential component of the knowledge that we share on a daily basis. Reading should be like eating of food, which is very important. For the scholar, reading impacts your competiveness, and you must read as part of your daily process."
A novelist, Olukorede Yishau, read excerpts from his novel, In the Name of the Father. He told the gathering there was no age limit that an individual couldn't write. "So many people make the mistake that, when they want to write, it has to be perfect. Rather, they should write something and later go back to edit it. Writing is a talent. It can be sharpened, and if you don't have it, you don't have it, because you cannot give what you don't have," he said.

Dr Patrick Oloko, who was represented by Dr Sola Ogunbayo, added, "All disciplines have their root in literature. When you write anything, you are writing in a realm of literature. It is from oral tradition that drama is gotten. The study of literature is important and scientific, while literary appreciation deals with the work of art applied if it is successful or not. As a writer, you must be concerned with the content and form which is crucial in interpretation. You do not force a theory on a text rather read the text and allow it to bring out its own life.

How a pig farmer has lowered production costs by 3.8p/kg
Lancashire pig farmer David Goodier has reduced his cost of production by 3.8p/kg deadweight, by improving sow performance and reducing mortality.
Mr Goodier, from Greenhalgh, Preston, became AHDB Pork's pilot Strategic Farm host in 2016 and, since then, he is seeing continued improvements in performance on his 230-sow indoor unit.
This is down to a combination of changes, following four open meetings in which producers and the allied industry have joined Mr Goodier to discuss pig management and performance results.
Key steps
Below, we outline six key steps the team has taken to help realise these performance improvements.
15% > 10% Reduction in pre-weaning mortality over six months
2.1p/kg Cost of production reduction as a result of improved pre-weaning mortality
2.22 > 2.26 Increase in litters per sow per year
0.7p/kg Cost of production reduction as a result of increased litters
12.87 > 13.2 Increase in live piglets born per litter
1p/kg Cost of production reduction as a result of boost in live piglets
24.57 > 26.79 Piglets weaned a sow a year
3.8p/kg deadweight Reduction in cost of production
Based on 2015 costings and calculated by AHDB Pork
1. Gilt nutrition is an area that has been pinpointed for review. The team is working on adjusting gilts' diets, having had a good look at the current feed curve and gilt condition at different stages of the production cycle.
For example, they have found gilts' condition score has tended to be too high at farrowing and too low at weaning.
2. Measuring out the daily feed allowance more accurately to ensure the quantities are consistently right and regularly calibrating the feeding bucket are two further practical changes.
3. To help monitor condition, the team has started weighing gilts going into the farrowing house and again after weaning. They will also measure back fat.

4. When it comes to serving sows, timing of insemination is very important and, having mapped the timing of oestrus with the help of AHDB Pork knowledge exchange manager Angela Cliff, it was decided to serve each sow just twice instead of three times.
5. They are also leaving a longer time from detection to first AI, so that both inseminations are contributing to optimum cover, close to the time of ovulation. The key has been learning not to rush.
They are now waiting until Monday afternoon to serve and it is making a difference compared with doing it in the morning as they had done before. They just needed the confidence to wait until they saw a proper heat.
6. An Opticare supplementary milk feeding system for piglets was installed in some of the farrowing pens in the autumn. Initial results seem to show improved creep intake and an increase in total litter weight and individual piglet weight. This will be measured in more detail in the coming months.
Tagging and weighing
In the finisher herd, Mr Goodier has made major investment in a new finisher building to help cater for increased pig numbers being produced by the breeding herd and to enable them to take pigs to higher finished weights; the first pigs went into the building in May 2017.
Pigs are now going to be individually tagged and then weighed at birth, weaning and a week before slaughter, which will provide really detailed information on how individual pigs perform in the new accommodation and help ensure the business makes the most of the investment.
Weighing litters individually at weaning will be key to understanding patterns of variation in the finisher herd, so that variation can start to be reduced throughout the rearing and finishing periods.
Mr Goodier explains: "A key feature of the new building is that the vents are only on one side due to consistent strong winds coming from the west coast towards the building's opposite side, and there was a lot of good discussion at the open meetings about if and how this would work.
"To help avoid any potential issues with air circulation, the dividing walls in the slurry pit have been built parallel to the long walls of the building, so they act as baffles and redirect the air flow.
"If you want to be the best, you have to learn from others. Being part of this project has made me question what we're doing on our unit much more – I'm always happy to listen to advice and try to implement changes people have suggested."
Future priorities
"The priority is now to work on gilt performance and retention to further improve the numbers born per litter and over the whole lifetime of each sow," says Ms Cliff.
"David's recorded data originally showed consistently low numbers born in the second litter, with 36% of sows having an average total born less than 10. However, there are already more gilts being retained to their second parity this year than last year, following a number of improvements throughout the breeding herd.
"This should start to improve the overall herd make-up and parity profile, with fewer sows in the later parities and more sows in the most productive parities."

Avoid Knee Pain
Knee pain is the last thing that anyone wants to experience. It's possible to treat and fix it but prevention would be a better plan.
If anyone has had problems with their knees they will admit that they wish that a plan has been made to prevent it.
Being aware about injuries and risks with your daily activities or exercises can help. Though it would be better to have a diet and exercises to reinforce protection.
Increase your muscle mass:
Having more muscle mass will protect your bones and joints. If you increase your muscle mass and support it, you'll decrease the friction between the joints. Perform exercises that involve the body. Try to avoid machines that isolate only one muscle as this may put too much stress on your joints. Despite what you may hear about squats, it may be the best exercise for your knees. Check with your health provider if it's safe for you to exercise.
Increase your training slowly:
Don't expect to be superman after a week of training. You need to build your body up from day one until the end. Slowly add more challenges and don't surprise yourself. You are training for your health not for injuries. Make a plan so you are progressively improving without jumping too far ahead in your program.
Without stretching, you lose flexibility of your muscles and body. Perform stretching after your training to support flexibility. This is also a great way to relieve the tension between the joints and muscles. It's better to do them after you exercise so your body is warmed up already.
Drink fluids:
Water is needed for lubrication between joints. If you are dehydrated on a regular basis, you'll create a big problem that will slowly happen before you know it. Stay hydrated on a day-to-day basis and keep a water supply close to you. Invest in a water bottle so you don't have to count on a fountain.
Lose Weight:
If you are over weight, you may have joint problems sooner or later. Check with your doctor what your healthy weight should be. Don't go for any special diets. You should go for natural foods and be sure to exercise. It isn't worth the joint pain, plan how you can succeed in your weight loss program.
Be sure to exercise for your health and quality of life. IT will lead to many great things that will benefit you now and in the future. Stay hydrated so your body functions properly and stretch after your training.
Keep training hard and take care of your joints!

TRINITY BIGHT, NL – The welcome professional drone operating company CloudBreaker received during a trip to Trinity Bight this summer has lead to a short film about the area's renaissance.
The film, called "Keep The Lights On," is about the region's revitalization as told by some of the people who have built lives and businesses in the area in recent years.
The company's initial plan was to capture some scenic aerial shots.
"We had intended to take a pseudo-vacation and just spend some or our time in the region shooting some footage of the coast during favourable weather," Jon Sturge, CloudBreaker's creative director and media specialist, said in a press release.
"We received such a warm reception once we arrived that we couldn't pass up the opportunity to capture these fantastic stories."
John Fisher of Fishers' Loft Inn, Alicia MacDonald and Sonja Mills of Port Rexton Brewing, and Dave and Kim Paddon of the English Harbour Arts Centre are featured in the film.
CloudBreaker offers aerial photography, videography, inspections and commercial consulting services.

8.557795 - BOCCHERINI: 3 Cello Sonatas / FACCO: Balletto in C Major / PORRETTI: Cello Sonata in D Major
Luigi Boccherini (1743–1805)
Cello Sonatas
The Italian cellist and composer Luigi Boccherini was born in Lucca in 1743, the son of a double-bass player. His family was distinguished not only in music but also boasted poets and dancers among its members. His elder brother Giovanni Gastone, born in 1742, was both dancer and poet, the author of the text of Haydn's Il ritorno di Tobia and of the libretti of some earlier stage works of the Vienna court composer, Antonio Salieri. He later became official poet of the Coliseo de los Caños del Peral in Madrid, a theatre to the concerts in which Boccherini had contributed music. His sister Maria Ester was a dancer and married Onorato Viganò, a distinguished dancer and choreographer. Her son, Salvatore Viganò, who studied composition with Boccherini, occupies a position of considerable importance in the history of ballet.
By the age of thirteen Boccherini was appearing in concerts as a cellist. In 1757 he went with his father and older brother and sister to Venice and Trieste and the following year he appeared with his father in Vienna, where they were both invited to join the court orchestra, returning to Vienna for two further seasons in 1760-1761 and 1763-1764. In the intervening periods he appeared in Lucca and in Florence. In 1764 Boccherini succeeded in achieving appointment as a cellist in the Cappella Palatina in Lucca and undertook engagements in Padua and Cremona, among other places. In 1766 he joined with his fellow-townsman, the violinist Manfredi, leader of the Cappella Palatina, the latter's teacher Nardini and the composer and viola-player Cambini in serious study and performance of the quartets of Haydn and of Boccherini's own early quartets, and after the death of his father in August of that year he went with Manfredi to Genoa, where he seems to have composed at least one of his two oratorios for the Oratorians. In the autumn of 1767 he set out from Genoa with Manfredi, with the intention of travelling to London, staying first in Nice and then for some six months in Paris, where they won considerable success. Here Boccherini's first set of six string quartets was published, and sets of string trios. In France Boccherini and Manfredi won considerable success and Boccherini himself also continued his work as a composer, in addition to his performances as a virtuoso. In 1768 the pair left for Spain, appearing first at court with an Italian opera company. Establishing himself in Madrid, Boccherini was appointed composer and virtuoso di camera to the Infante Don Luis, younger brother of King Carlos III, after a cooler reception from the King and the Prince of the Asturias, his heir. Part of the following period he spent in Madrid and part at the Palace of Arenas de San Pedro in the province of Avila, where the Infante retired after a morganatic marriage. Members of the Font family were employed by the Prince as a string quartet, for which Boccherini wrote quartets and with whom he performed his own string quintets. He renewed his association with Francisco Font in later years. After the death of Don Luis in 1785, Boccherini, who had spent some fifteen years in his service, received a pension from the king and the promise of a position in the Real Capilla that was not fulfilled. He found employment, however, with the Benavente- Osuna family in Madrid, directing the orchestra of the Countess-Duchess and providing music for her salon. Here he was one of a distinguished international company that included his friend, the painter Goya. At the same time he was appointed court composer to Friedrich Wilhelm, nephew of Frederick the Great, who succeeded his uncle as King of Prussia in 1787. In this latter position he provided the cello-playing king with new compositions under the same kind of exclusive arrangement as that which he had earlier enjoyed with Don Luis. There is, however, no evidence that Boccherini ever spent any time in Prussia. After the death of King Carlos III in 1788, the new king, Carlos IV, established a chamber ensemble and in 1795 a chamber orchestra, in neither of which Boccherini was involved. With the unexpected death of Friedrich Wilhelm II in 1797 Boccherini's employment there came to an end, when his request for a continuation of his position and a pension was refused, while the Benavente-Osuna family moved to Paris in 1799. Boccherini received support from Lucien Bonaparte, the French ambassador, and remained busy to the end of his life, although visitors reported that he lived in all the appearance of poverty, now without any substantial patronage after Lucien Bonaparte's return to Paris and saddened by the death of his second wife and his remaining daughters. He died in Madrid on 28th May 1805.
Boccherini's style is completely characteristic of the period in which he lived, the period, that is, of Haydn, rather than that of Mozart or Beethoven. He enjoyed a reputation for his facility as a composer, leaving some 460 or so compositions. A great deal of his music is designed to exploit the technical resources of the cello, in concertos, sonatas, and, particularly, in chamber music for various numbers of instruments, including a remarkable series of works for string quintet with two cellos, the first of which is given a concertante part. His works include twelve cello concertos and more than 32 cello sonatas. The three sonatas included here represent, in the Sonata in C major, the young composer, the writer of descriptive music in his Allegro alla Militaire in the Sonata in G major, with its eighteenth-century battle, its ordered battalions, drum-rolls and the battlefield itself. The recently discovered Sonata in C minor shows the influence of Spain, with a final movement suggesting a Spanish dance.
The composer, keyboard-player, violinist and cellist Giacomo Facco was one of the many Italian musicians working in the eighteenth century at the Spanish court. He served as a member of the Capilla Real and taught the children of Don Luis and Don Carlos, the future King Luis I and King Carlos III. The Balletti a due violoncelli are the first works for cello that we know of that were written in Spain. The six suites were written about 1723 with the two cellos treated as a duo, an unusual procedure at this period
A cellist in the Capilla Real between 1734 and 1783, Domenico Porretti enjoyed a considerable reputation as a player and was much admired by the famous singer Farinelli. He seems to have written 24 cello concertos and a work for four cellos mentioned by Padre Antonio Soler, the whereabouts of all of which are unknown. The sonata included here was published very recently and was found in the collection of scores at the castle of Schönborn-Wiesentheit in Germany. Porretti was the father of Joaquina, Boccherini's second wife.
First cellist at the Convent of the Incarnation and of the Duke of Osuna, Pablo Vidal served in the Casa de Osuna orchestra directed by Boccherini and lived in Madrid at Leganitos No.22, 4º Principal. Otherwise we know relatively little about him. He offered two cellos for sale in the Diario de Madrid on 15th April 1796 and also announced the sale of a concerto of his, with a Cello Method advertised eight days later. In September 1798 he announced in the Gaceta a work called Arpegio Armónico de violonchelo y bajo (Harmonic Arpeggio for Cello and Bass), the source of the present Andante gracioso.

Don't Let SOPA/PIPA Censor the Web!18 Jan 2012, Posted by Blogging, Random Thoughts, Social Media in
Today many sites such as Wikipedia and Reddit are going dark to protest the government's latest efforts which would censor much of the Internet. Google too has joined in and all are asking you to sign a petition and/or contact your U.S. Representative to help keep the Internet free and open. The bills were meant to help prevent piracy and copyright infringement, but the bills go too far and would impose harmful legislation on websites and businesses. Google has an petition available on their site which is very easy to fill out. Please take time to sign it. It is very appreciated.

Adult children of narcissistic parents (ACoNs) know a special type of emotional abuse in being raised by narcissists. (Biological mothers, stepmothers, biological fathers, and stepfathers can be N parents.)
Before we discuss the special case of narcissism, please note that not every emotionally abusive parent has the narcissistic personality disorder. In some circumstances, an emotionally abusive parent who is not a narcissist can change and improve his or her parenting. The same is not true for the narcissistic parent, however. Every narcissistic parent is an emotional abuser.
A narcissist is a person who has the narcissistic personality disorder.
Narcissistic personality disorder is one of a group of conditions called dramatic personality disorders. People with these disorders have intense, unstable emotions, and a distorted self-image. Narcissistic personality disorder is further characterized by an abnormal love of self, an exaggerated sense of superiority and importance, and a preoccupation with success and power." (Cleveland Clinic, Narcissistic Personality Disorder)
Though people often refer to someone vain as a "narcissist," NPD is far more destructive, sneaky, and layered than mere vanity. The Diagnostic and Statistic Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) lists specific traits of NPD.
- An exaggerated sense of one's own abilities and achievements.
- A constant need for attention, affirmation and praise.
- A belief that he or she is unique or "special" and should only associate with other people of the same status.
- Persistent fantasies about attaining success and power.
- Exploiting other people for personal gain.
- A sense of entitlement and expectation of special treatment.
- A preoccupation with power or success.
- Feeling envious of others, or believing that others are envious of him or her.
(The DSM is a manual used by clinicians and psychiatrists to diagnose psychiatric illnesses. It's published by the American Psychiatric Association and categorizes mental health disorders of adults and children.)
Other traits psychologists have mentioned (in addition to the official list above) are…
- Exaggerating one's achievements or talents
- Expecting constant praise and admiration
- Failing to recognize other people's emotions and feelings
- Expecting others to go along with every single plan and idea she has
- Requiring constant attention and positive reinforcement from others
- Trouble keeping healthy relationships
- Being easily hurt and rejected if someone doesn't agree with his or her every thought and command
- Reacting to criticism with anger, shame, or humiliation
- Lacking empathy and disregarding the feelings of others

Zithromax Lawsuit | Azithromycin and Heart Risks
On May 17, 2012, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") issued a statement announcing that it is investigating Zithromax side effects in light of a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, which found a link between the popular antibiotic, Zithromax, commonly referred to as a Z-Pak, Z-Pack, or Zmax, and sudden cardiovascular death. In conducting the study, researchers from Vanderbilt University's School of Medicine reviewed the medical records of approximately 540,000 Medicaid patients ages 30 to 74 in Tennessee from 1992 to 2006. Researchers found that patients who took Zithromax were at an increased risk for sudden death compared to patients taking other antibiotics such as amoxicillin. Individuals who are especially prone to Z-Pak side effects include those who have:
- heart failure;
- diabetes;
- sustained a previous heart attack;
- undergone bypass surgery; or
- cardiac stents.
Heart disease patients can develop abnormal heart rhythms, which can be fatal.
If you or a loved one experienced sudden death or heart arrhythmia resulting in hospitalization following treatment with Zithromax, contact our firm today for a free Zithromax lawsuit case review.
FDA Warning On Zithromax Side Effects
Zithromax (azithromycin) belongs to a class of antibacterial drugs called macrolides, which have been linked to cardiovascular events, including QT interval prolongation. In 2011, the FDA reviewed all macrolides. As a result of that investigation, the Zmax drug label was revised to include abnormal heart rhythms as one of the side effects of Zithromax. In light of the recent azithromycin study, the FDA is continuing its review. Although the FDA stated that patients taking Zithromax should not discontinue use without talking to their doctors, the agency recommended that healthcare providers be aware of potential side effects of azithromycin (Zithromax), such as QT interval prolongation and heart arrhythmias when prescribing antibacterial drugs. Finally, the FDA encouraged healthcare professionals and patients to report adverse events or azithromycin side effects to the agency's MedWatch Safety Information and Averse Event Reporting Program.
Background Information On Zithromax
Zithromax, known generically as azithromycin, is an antibiotic commonly prescribed to treat bacterial infections, including bronchitis, pneumonia, sore throats and earaches. FDA-approved indications for azithromycin include:
- Acute bacterial exacerbations of chronic pulmonary disease
- Acute bacterial sinusitis
- Community-acquired pneumonia
- Pharyngitis/tonsillitis
- Uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections
- Urethritis and cervicitis
- Genital ulcer disease
Zithromax is manufactured by Pfizer, Inc. The allure of the Z-Pack is its convenience – patients only need to take the medication for five days – most antibiotics must be taken for 10 days or longer. Last year, doctors wrote 55.3 million prescriptions for azithromycin in the United States, and sales were $464.6 million. Given the popularity of the drug, several media outlets are reporting on the Zithromax study, including NBC Nightly News and ABC World News. Medical editors from both NBC and ABC News commentated on the risk of sudden cardiac death in patients with heart problems taking the drug.

28 Mar The Blahs are Moving House!
At the end of March, Theatre Company Blah Blah Blah are relocating to a new home in the shared space of Live Arts Bistro in Leeds City Centre. We're really excited that our new home is going to be in a space that's dedicated to creative and performance arts, and are looking forward to getting to know our new neighbours.
Although we've only had a short stay at North Lane House in Headingley, we've enjoyed our time here in this friendly office building . We've shared plenty of laughs with our friends and neighbours at 300 North and Leeds Vineyard while waiting for the kettle to boil in our shared kitchen, and we'll be sad to say goodbye.
Our last day at North Lane House is 31st March, and we're moving gradually over the Easter holidays. We may therefore be difficult to contact for the next fortnight, so if you need to get in touch with us please email or send us a message via Facebook or Twitter.
Our new address will be: Live Arts Bistro, 1-2 Regent Street Leeds LS2 7QA. We look forward to being back in business in our new home from 16th April onwards!

716 Exclusive Mix – Egnam Alen Musica : Addis Shinning Abeba
29.05.16 - Guillaume - 716lavie
The dj and records collector Philippe Noël had given me the contact of Mohammed Ahmed, before I went to Ethiopia. Mohammed is the biggest records seller of rare Ethiopian music. He now has a facebook page dedicated to his business : Egnam Alen Musica. We quickly became good friends and I even flew to the south of the country to chase records with him. I wish we could have made a documentary about this expedition : how we printed hundred of flyers asking people to contact him if they had old vinyls to sell, then the meetings with those people, but also all the investigations we did, asking in every shop, investigating to find previous owners of record shops now transformed in pharmacies, etc…
Of course I needed to publish a mix from him, although he does not consider himself as a dj. And he doesn't have a mixer, which is a problem. Eventually he recorded a beautiful selection of his most hard to find records, only Ethiopian Jazz. This mix is history. Yes it is.

Recently I saw a Dutch article pop up in my timeline, titled "Managic Anorexic: On the Border of Having and Not Having an Eating Disorder." Being an anorexic myself, I felt compelled to read it as I was unable to believe that there could be "managing anorexics."
Tag Archives: Anorexia
"You're Too Thin"
Whenever people told me I looked good once I started recovering (read: gaining weight), I felt awful. While they genuinely meant to express what they said — after all, I didn't look like a walking skeleton any more — I translated "you look good" as "you clearly gained weight" and on bad days as "you look fat." Yet when someone told me I was too thin, I beamed. That was the biggest compliment they could give me, and the fact that so many women interpret these three devilish words similarly is, I think, rather worrisome.
The Disease We Cannot See
She had a suitcase with her and put it in the luggage rack above my head, then sat down next to me. She looked normal: she had sleek hair, wore a winter coat, checked out her iPod Touch like any other human being would. She was a bit pale, but hey, I look like a ghost myself during the winter, so who am I to judge her for that? But the thing I couldn't ignore, was the feeding tube in her nose. It was an earmark of the disease we cannot see.
The Safe Haven
Everyone needs a safe haven. A house that is a home, someone close to you that you can always rely on, or some hobby or activity that makes you forget all your worries for a moment. It makes you feel comfortable and, of course, safe. Then there is the mental safe haven, where you just feel comfortable with everything in your life. But this is actually the most dangerous place for me to be.
I Eat, You Eat, We Eat
Everyone at the table was staring at me as if I had just been assigned as the new Pope, while I popped another green bean in my mouth. I was just chewing on it like every other person would do, but they acted as if a miracle had just happened. Maybe four years ago, it would have been a miracle. But these days, eating is as much part of my everyday routine as any other woman's make-up ritual.

Want a Real Battle Between Politicians and Unions? Welcome to Wisconsin
As politicians and unions quietly shadowbox in Chicago and Illinois, a real throwdown is shaping up across the border. The fallout could shape politics in our state and across the country.
A couple weeks ago Rahm Emanuel touched off a little spat with local unions by running an ad that I thought was pretty opaque in its messaging, or at least just as likely to be about patronage hiring as union strength. Perhaps it became an issue because no candidates who aren't Carol Moseley Braun have said anything controversial—not only has this been a race without race, it's been one without much color. Even the Rahm Tax, if you look at the numbers, doesn't seem to be that big a burden, essentially my ability to save a couple tanks of gas in taxes for your willingness to pay more to get your car handwashed. Not really the sort of political rhetoric that gives the Windy City its name.
Anyway, the unions' lukewarm fight with Emanuel was thrown into stark relief by the labor news from our neighbors to the north. New Republican governor Scott Walker is threatening to strip the collective bargaining rights of all but a handful of unions—for instance, removing the right of union members to negotiate for benefits. The Awl has a good rundown of the details. A lot of attention has been given to Walker's announcement that the National Guard is being prepped, but I take this simply to mean that they would take over some state necessities in the case of strike, like guarding prisons, not that armored personnel carriers would take the place of buses or that drill sergeants would take over drivers' testing (come to think of it, that's not a half bad idea).
Wisconsin, like Illinois, is facing massive budget shortfalls, and collective bargaining isn't Walker's only target; his budget proposal also looks to give his administration (and the Republican-majority legislature's budget committee) more direct control over the state's health care services.
Some workers have said that Walker could get his wage and benefit demands via negotiation instead of eliminating it; there have been scattered protests with more to come. As Chicago and Illinois work around the edges, Wisconsin is, for better or worse, taking big (and arguably draconian) measures to address similar issues. What works and what doesn't might have long-term impact on Illinois residents, if voters and legislators are paying attention.

Tony Moly Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub Review
It's that time of the year when my lips is crackin' and chappin' like crazy. Hence, I try to veer away from lipsticks yet, as we all know, holidays is always the perfect time to play with colors especially during Christmas parties. I prefer bold colored lipsticks and most of the time I layer products to achieve the color that I want. That being said, my problem is my dry lips. Lip balm is just not enough to remove the flakes off my lips. Thankfully, Tony Moly sent me this lip scrub that worked wonders on my lips. Lately, this product has been my Lip bestfriend.
What Tony Moly says: Tonymoly Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub is a UV control lip essence for aging, thin, and vulnerable lip skin. Use peeling scrub first, the grain containing scrub will make lips soft and peel off excess skin without irritation. Contains Jojooba and Macadamia oil, this will moisturize your lips and give them a glistening shine
This is definitely a two in one product because it removes the flakiness off my lips and moisturizes it at the same time. The lip scrub is not sticky and the consistency is similar to a light cream with beads. The beads are very gentle and is not too abrasive for the lips. I just use my finger to apply the product and I rub it on my lips for a minute then I wipe it off with a tissue or a wet towel. I make sure to apply lip balm right after using this product to get better results.
This lip scrub has a very nice scent and this did not irritate my skin. After every use, i can see that my lipstick adheres better on my lips and my lipstick applies evenly and smoothly on my lips.This is available locally at Tony Moly stores and only costs 348 pesos.

This paper sets out the central role that well-governed and managed cities and towns can play in reducing poverty. The key message is that achievement of the International Development Targets will depend in part on the development of strategies which recognise the important role played by cities and towns in strengthening poor people's capacity to improve their socio-economic and political conditions. It underlies the need to address the particular characteristics of urban poverty which can constrain these opportunities.

On Monday, A Wealth of Entertainment announced that they were adding a second championship bout to their November 21st card, turning it into a split-site double header. In Manchester, England, WBA lightweight champion Darleys Perez defends against Britain's Anthony Crolla. In Hanover, Germany, WBO super middleweight champion Arthur Abraham will face two-time middleweight challenger Martin Murray.
Abraham vs. Murray will be very much overshadowed, especially in North America, by Saturday night's big-time middleweight showdown between Miguel Cotto and Saul Alvarez. But Abraham vs. Murray should be a very good fight, and it is extremely relevant, as the super middleweight division is in flux and without a true king, given Andre Ward's inactivity in recent years, and his likely move up to light heavyweight.
An Armenian native and German citizen, Abraham is a two-division world champion and has held titles at 160 or 168 pounds for most of the past decade. He is an extremely rugged, come-forward fighter, and tremendously game. His 2006 unanimous decision over Edison Miranda is one of the gutsiest performances of this century. Abraham had his jaw broken in two places in Round 4, which caused his face to swell grotesquely. I would not fault any fighter who threw in the towel with such an injury. That Abraham fought and won demonstrates the kind of stuff he's made of.
Abraham made a good showing in the famed Super Six, Super Middleweight tournament of 2009 and 2010, coming from behind to knock out Jermain Taylor in devastating fashion in Round 12. But he was ultimately knocked out of the tournament by Carl Froch in 2010.
Since the tournament, Abraham has won three out of four fights with Robert Stieglitz, with the WBO super middleweight belt on the line each time. At 35, he's had 47 total fights, compiling a record of 43-4 with 29 KOs.
Martin Murray should make an interesting opponent for him. Murray was always an extremely durable, lean-and-mean middleweight and I think 168 pounds will be a comfortable weight for him. His only two losses came in championship fights, to Sergio Martinez and Gennady Golovkin. I actually think he should have won the Martinez fight, in April 2013. He put Martinez on the canvas twice, and in my opinion, both should have counted as knockdowns. However, the judge ruled the second a slip.
Against Gennady Golovkin in 2014, Martin Murray ended up just one more victim in GGG's long string of KOs. However, even in this case, he showed tremendous heart and durability. While the referee's stoppage in Round 11 was entirely appropriate, it was very much the case of a ref saving a brave fighter from himself.

...is too many? This question came up the other day in the forums on Ravelry, and so I answered just about yarn related WIPs. Even those I had like 9 things in progress. The original poster seemed upset because she had 2, and could not bring herself to start another.

With knitting, and really with nearly any type of project, you end up with different things that you can work on in different limited settings.
I am working on a seamless sweater for my plus sized self, so that large piece of knitting will not be leaving my house, thank you very much.
For knitting on the go, I have the cute little cotton shortie socks shown in the photo. I also have a pair of wool socks in progress, but I can only work on them in air conditioned areas. The cotton socks are perfect for knitting in parked cars while waiting for my kid at school.
Some projects, like lace for example, require focus that I cannot muster sitting in my "office" here at Panera.
Similar issues cause multiple projects in other crafty genres: the huge duvet cover for my niece is not quite a take along item, like a small piece of hand embroidery would be.
So my answer to how many is too many? I guess the sky is the limit!

We seem to get the feeling that Cherry Mobile knows that their Flare line of phones are always in high demand. Why? 'Cause instead of just one variant this time, they've introduced three new ones – the Flare 4, Flare S4, and Flare S4 Plus. While the 4 and S4 are actually cousins to each other in terms of specs – as they're almost the same phone with different bodies – the S4 Plus is a supersized version of the S4 with more memory, camera resolution, and battery. All three will be powered by a brand new MediaTek Octa-Core clocked at 1.3Ghz and are Dual SIM phones with LTE capabilities. Best part? You can grab the two 5 incher phones for only PHP 4,999. (That's over 1k lower than the recently-announced Alcatel Flash 2.) The S4 Plus on the other hand, will be sold for PHP 7,999. Check out the specs below or our preview video above!
The best part about these three new releases? They're all available on offline stores – no Lazada exclusivity – for all those brick & mortar fans out there.

As Part of Revamp, Reuters Makes Big Hires
Additions include alums of The Wall Street Journal, The Daily
Thomson Reuters has brought on a significant group of people to bolster Reuters News, including some Wall Street Journal alums and notably, Jim Gaines, a longtime Time Inc. employee who most recently was managing editor at The Daily, News Corp.'s nascent tablet newspaper.
Gaines is the latest in a handful of editorial staffers who have left The Daily since it launched in February. He'll be Reuters' ethics, standards, and innovation editor.
The other big hire is Paul Ingrassia, a 31-year veteran of the Journal and a former president of Dow Jones Newswires. He was named deputy editor in chief, overseeing news content creation. Also joining Reuters is Stuart Karle, a former general counsel to the Journal who was fired by Rupert Murdoch. He'll be chief operating officer.
The appointments were made by newly named Reuters News editor in chief Stephen Adler, himself a veteran of the Journal. More recently, he was editor in chief of Businessweek before it was sold to Bloomberg LP.
The hires are part of Thomson Reuters' efforts to make Reuters News, which it bought in 2008, more competitive with business-news rivals like Bloomberg and Dow Jones.
