Behind the Razor Wire – the Refugee Crisis in Art
Posted by cathannabel in Refugees, Visual Art on June 24, 2017
Tamara de Lempicka, The Refugees (1937)/Felix Nussbaum, The Refugee (1939)
The refugee crises which have characterised our age (as if there has ever been a time when people were not forced by war, persecution or natural disaster to leave their homes and seek safety in strange lands) have inspired artists throughout the generations to attempt, through different media and in different styles, to portray the plight of the refugee.
Tamara de Lempicka portrays two women refugees from the fighting in Spain, in something of a departure from her normal high society subject matter. Felix Nussbaum painted The Refugee drawing on his own experience. As a German Jew, Nussbaum was studying in Rome when the Nazis came to power, and spent the next ten years in exile in Belgium, going into hiding during the Occupation. He and his wife were arrested in 1944 and were murdered in Auschwitz. His painting powerfully depicts the desolation of exile, and the sense of a world of potential freedom and safety (the globe and the open window) that is visible but out of reach.
In much more recent times, we can see the work of Syrian women refugees, working with visual artists Aglaia Haritz from Switzerland and Abdelaziz Zerrou from Morocco, on a project Embroiderers of Actuality. They asked women in different locations to create embroidery, which they then use as inspiration and/or material for their own images and sculptures.
One of the images exhibited by the Refugee Art Project is Alwy Fadhel's instant coffee painting, Endurance, by Alwy Fadhel.
The technique of painting with instant coffee powder diluted with water was started by an Iraqi refugee in Australian immigration detention who enjoyed painting and used the resources available in detention to do so. He taught the technique to fellow detainee Alwy Fadhel, who became the principal coffee artist and contributed to making the technique a tradition inside the detention center where he was held.
Syrian artist, Abdalla Al Omari, who has refugee status in Belgium, has re-imagined US President Donald Trump and 10 other world leaders as refugees in a series of paintings (The Vulnerability Series) currently on display in Dubai. The images draw on his own experience with displacement.
Giles Duley, a photojournalist, has recorded some of the stories of the refugees travelling from the Middle East to Europe in 2015.
The UNHCR gave me the greatest brief ever given to a photographer – just follow your heart. So, rather than try to cover the whole crisis, I tried to cover a few stories within it and that was how I kept my focus. There is no such thing as truth in photography, which is why the book has the title I Can Only Tell You What My Eyes See. As soon as I go to one beach and choose one person to photograph, I've made a decision and I've ruled out thousands of other stories. Politicians and the media often try to simplify the narrative, but the fact is, if you have a million people crossing into Europe, you have a million different stories. … I've worked in Angola, Afghanistan, Iraq, and have seen some of the worst of humanity, and yet I found myself standing on those beaches in floods of tears. It was hard initially to work out what was different. What was it I was seeing that I hadn't seen before? I've seen a lot of refugee camps, but they are generally static places. What I've never seen is people moving en masse like that, putting their lives on the line, risking everything for freedom, for safety. To see the fear on their faces, but also the relief that they'd finally made it, was completely overwhelming.
Alketa Xhafa Mripa was living in the UK and studying Art at Central Saint Martins when the war in Kosovo broke out in 1998.
As a result, she had no choice but to seek refugee status in the UK. While Alketa didn't flee her country, she faced the very real issue of being removed from her home. This fostered her fascination with the themes of identity, history and memory, with a unique focus on women's issues. Her most recent project, Fancy a tea with a refugee?, is a mobile installation that tours the country, inviting people to share their stories and thoughts about migrants, refugees and displacement.
And under the sea, a powerful image of the fate of so many refugees attempting the dangerous Mediterranean crossing, in Jason deCaires Taylor's sculpture The Raft of the Lampedusa, a sculpted boat carrying the figures of 13 refugees. It's part of an underwater museum, Museo Atlantico, in Lanzarote.
From painting to sculpture, embroidery to installation, and finally (in this brief and inadequate review of the refugee crisis in art), to the graphic novel.
French author and illustrator double act Bessora and Barroux share their new graphic novel Alpha, the story of a migrant desperately searching for his family.
And Karrie Fransman was commissioned to tell the story of Ebrahim, a refugee from Iran, in comic form. When the result, Over Under Sideways Down has been shown to people from around the world
one man – another refugee – said to us, 'This is my story.' With comics, people can project their own experiences on to these simple drawings and make them their own.

NFL.com has listed the top ten players that they think could be traded sometime during the remainder of this offseason. There is no indication whatsoever that the article is anything more than speculation, and it's debatable whether what we have there is even informed speculation.
Be that as it may, it's common knowledge that an article about trade rumors isn't worth its weight in hot air if it doesn't link at least one player to the Dallas Cowboys, preferably two - and that's exactly what we get from Chris Wesseling as he lists the top ten summertime trade candidates and their potential destinations.
At No. 2 on his list is Ryan Mallett, and Wesseling writes that Mallett could be a target for the Texans and Cowboys.
Mallett has been connected to the Texans and former offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien since early March, with speculation growing especially feverish during draft weekend. Patriots coach Bill Belichick recently insisted he's not that interested in dealing Mallett, which is another way of inviting prospective suitors to raise their offers. If second-round pick Jimmy Garoppolo looks ready for prime time in training camp, a Mallett trade remains possible.
Mallett has been on the market for a while now. Reports surfaced over a year ago that the Patriots were demanding a first- or second-round pick for Mallett, who was a third-round pick in 2011. Given that the Patriots invested a second-round pick this year in QB Jimmy Garoppolo this year, it's unlikely that the Patriots are still convinced that Mallett has the stuff the be the eventual replacement for Tom Brady.
Teams trading for former Patriots players do not have a track record of success in those trades. The Cowboys would be well advised not to get into this discussion, and leave Mallett to some newbie GM who thinks that trading with the Patriots can somehow enhance his own status in the league.
The other player on the list is RB LaMichael James, who is linked to the Eagles and Cowboys.
Left out of the 49ers' running back rotation even before the arrivals of Carlos Hyde and a relatively healthy Marcus Lattimore, James has seemingly been on the trading block for a year now. We suspect he hasn't been moved because no team is willing to part with a mid- to late-round draft pick for an underwhelming scatback. He did star at Oregon under Eagles coach Chip Kelly.
LaMichael James is a former second-round pick, who has rushed for 189 yards in 39 rushing attempts over two years. The Cowboys just signed Ryan Williams, also a former second-round pick, who rushed for 164 yards on 58 attempts in three years in the league.
In April, there were reports that James was on the trading block, and rumors of an immenent departure were further fueled when James opted to pass up a $50,000 workout bonus that would have been due had he attended the start of the 49ers offseason program. James could be rranked as low as No. 5 on the 49ers depth chart and will almost certainly be released at some point before the season starts. At this point, the maximum a team should invest in James is a waiver wire claim.
Just like they've done in past years, the Cowboys will likely look to improve their roster throughout the offseason. And while a trade is not out of the question at some point (see C Ryan Cook, 2012) , the waiver wire (see WR Laurent Robinson, 2011) and street free agency (DE George Selvie, 2013) have been equally viable offseason options for the Cowboys.
What, if anything, would you be willing to give up for Mallett and/or James?

Hi all,
I recently bought some ceramic chips and cutting powder to use in a new polishing hoping to achieve a matt finish on my silver pieces. I have prepared the new rubber barrel with some coke (30 mins) followed by barrelbrite with steel shots (2 hrs) until the barrelbrite solution came out clean in cream colour. After that I put in the ceramic chips + cutting powder + water for polishing, the solution came out greyish and the silver pieces also got a grey tint on it - is this normal? I'm not sure if the "grey" was due to the matt polishing effect making it "dull"
or if there is a problem with my solution... any advice?

This short documentary I found today to my surprise is about many of the issues addressed in "Reflexive Fire" namely international drug smuggling under the auspices of western governments. I was somewhat familiar with Daniel Hopsicker's work but had no idea he had produced this short film that so closely mirrors the subject matter of my novel in progress. I would say that this video makes a good trailer for my book but to tell the truth that really does not do Daniel's research justice, this is real life and as usual is it much, much stranger then fiction.

Chapter Five now online
The MH-47 helicopters screamed through the night, the dull black finish on their fuselage blending seamlessly with the dark skyline.
The twin rotor blades cut through the air as they flew nap of the earth following the contour lines of the mountains as they rose and fell just a dozen meters over the surface, the pilots flying by instrument and night vision goggles.
In the belly of the six rotary wing aircraft the passengers sat on the cold floor front to back loaded down with rifles, machine guns, ammunition, and grenades. The aircraft were completely blacked out, no one dosing off due to a combination of pre-combat jitters and motion sickness as the helicopters rocked up and down.
The flight to the first combat outpost for refueling had been uneventful; now they were in a combat zone where pilots were subject to fire from surface to air weapons and ground troops found themselves in constant contact with enemy guerrilla fighters from a dozen different factions vying for control of the rugged landscape below.
Two new chapters up today. I'll try to have six up tomorrow.

View from a Little Bird Helicopter
Every Special Operations soldiers wants three things, to be a HALO jumper, to get a bayonet kill, and to ride on a MH-6 Little Bird. I got to do two of the three. I'm still holding out for the zombie apocalypse for my bayonet kill. Above is a picture of me when I was a sniper in 2005 during a training exercise.
This is the view of what it looks like while sitting on the pod of the aircraft that I am leaning on in the first picture from the air.
I was trying to take a picture of a deer I had seen in the forest below…yeah, good luck doing that with a disposable camera while in flight on one of these things.

New year, new website? We understand that most financial advisors have little or no experience with website design, which can make updating your current site or creating a brand new one a very daunting idea. Here, we look at a website launch checklist for financial advisors.
Add a website title
Your website's homepage is by far the most heavily weighted page on your entire website. Therefore, it's crucial you choose a standout title for your new website. The title of your website will appear in search results, browser bars and form notifications. We get it – coming up with a website title can be a scary thing to do. This is the first thing prospects will see when they land on your website.
Add Page Titles
Title tags appear at the top of the browser that you are using, and it is important to both user experience and SEO. Adding and customizing your page titles will not only give site visitors more information but doing so can also help give search engines like Google more information about the pages on your site and the information they contain.
Ensure all pages include Metadata
Meta descriptions explain to search engines and searchers what your site is about. Including compelling meta descriptions on your site can oftentimes be the determining factor if someone clicks on your site or not from the SERP (search engine results page), especially if you're including keywords the searcher is looking for.
Add Analytics
Tracking and monitoring your website analytics is crucial and is the foundation of a performance-driven website. Google Analytics offers users a huge amount of data and can easily be integrated into your website.
Test, test and test again
When your website is performing well, it will help grow your business exponentially. However, without the use of analytics and testing, you will never know how your website is performing and how to improve your site's performance. Testing your website before launching is incredibly important in order to find any issues and fix any bugs that could potentially harm the user experience.
I hope you've found this article on Website launch checklist for Financial Advisors useful. If you're a financial advisor looking for help, please feel free to get in touch here. Myself and my team are more than happy to help.

How did he like it? Did it freak him out? Once he was out there was it hard to get him to come in?
He loved i! No hesitation whatsoever. He likes rain, too. And, yes, it's hard to get him in!
Kali and I have never seen snow. Although we were told that Kyla and Kenzie saw it for an hour or two in our yard once. We are going to try to get our peeps to take us an hour from home one day this winter when there is snow in the hills near us. Neither Scottiemobile has snow tires and can't use chains so we have to be careful with the roads. But, we hope to see snow on the side of the road. Don't know if we will like it or not. I am scared of everything new, but Kali will probably jump for joy.
Such a good time!

So, a few weeks ago, my mom hit me, across the face. I had started yelling, but I was not going to hit her and had no intention of doing so and did not approach her like I was going to. then she gets up, runs towards me (I was standing in her doorway and she was on her bed before she ran to me) and she slaps me across the face, leaving a bruise on the side of my face. (the bruise is gone now, and there was only one) then she starts yelling at me and I'm still yelling at her, still haven't touched her at this point. she kept back me closer to the doorway, repeatedly raising her hands as if she was going to hit me again. I raise my hands to defend myself, and she shoves my on my back into my room (I was in my doorway, which she backed me into in a threatening and intimidating manner) I start screaming, and she eventually raises her hand as she was about to slap me and told me exactly "you better ****ing stop". I stopped screaming because I didn't want her to hit me again. Over the next two days, I was struggling to contact for help because I felt unsafe. I then contacted a hotline, had them file a report, and a few hours later the police showed up at the door and took her away on a domestic violence charge... I've stayed with my uncle since, and today she called me because she was allowed to. she kept blaming me and said I lied to authorities, Children's protective services, and the person on the hotline text number, to which I never lied once. I told the hotline that she had hit me before, with a belt, and bare hand. but not often. this was the only time she has ever left a visible bruise. and this was the last straw for me and I didn't want her to keep thinking it is ok to hit me. She said the police lied on their report, and they did not either. But now she got away with it and I'm being forced to go home to her tomorrow, and she's taking all my electronics over me trying to defend myself from her and set boundaries. Now that I know the police or Children Services won't do anything, what do I do??
No announcement yet.

Hi, I'm not a professional but i'm going through something like this. The best thing to do is record evidence- sound, video, anything. You can use an old camera, phone, or borrow one from a friend. Basically any electronic that has a microphone. Then, you can file another and have proof? Do you have any other family members to stay with or move in with? You should ask someone nearby for help. (Contact me at [email protected] if this gets worse. It's the only email my parents don't have access to and I really want to help you). I'm so sorry this is happening to you.

I don't have the ability to record anything, as she took my phone as well. so I don't have access to email. this is my school computer and I can only use my school email on it, which my mom has access to.

Our Verdict
If I had to survey my fellow gaming journalist about what game they were most excited about playing on the iPad, Flight Control HD would be the nearly unanimous winner. The breakthrough finger guidance flight control application is perfectly suited to the iPad's large touchscreen. With the promise of new maps and a 3D level, Flight Control HD is one of the most anticipated games of the iPad launch. After playing it most of launch day I can say that while not as groundbreaking as the original, Flight Control HD makes a jolly good landing onto the new platform.
Simply put, Flight Control HD has some big shoes to fill. Flight Control soared onto the iPhone and iPod touch last year to widespread acclaim and more than one mobile game of the year award. Flight Control's perfect combination of intuitively designed controls and thoroughly entertaining concept made for a surprisingly popular application. Even Firemint couldn't have anticipated that its "finger guidance" touchscreen game mechanic would have spawned so many imitators that it's now considered an entirely new subgenre of puzzle games.
The first thing you'll notice about the game is the visual upgrade. The graphics are better, but the details, the menus, everything is just exceptionally well-polished. You'll enjoy playing Flight Control on your iPhone, but the game was meant to be played on a screen this large. With so much real estate, you can navigate your planes that much more carefully.
The gameplay remains essentially intact and the new maps add more challenging, addictive air traffic control chaos than before. With your fingers you'll guide planes, jets, and helicopters to their color-coordinated landing pads and strips. You can see where the planes are going now thanks to a handy white line that shows their trajectory. You can speed up gameplay with a handy button in the corner that automatically turns off when there's a threat of a crash.
Like the original version, the soundtrack will once again get caught in your head. Bottom line: Firemint didn't change the formula because it works. Other companies have sought to replicate it but Flight Control still remains the simplest and best time management/finger guidance game out there.
The new features show that Firemint is taking the new platform seriously. The multiplayer options allow for co-op or competition on a single screen or over Wi-Fi. Macworld editors are not above a bit of healthy competition, and there were numerous instances of trash talking and close-calls as we tried to make the other person crash.
While I applaud Firemeint for experimenting, the 3D map was on the whole disappointing. While you could clearly see how the planes were hovering over the background, the colors of the actual planes were blurry and hard to discern. This made assigning them to their proper airport difficult and the entire experience felt more gimmicky than essential.
3D misadventures aside, Flight Control HD is a solid game that wisely doesn't mess with its winning formula. It's addictive as it was on the iPhone, but the polish, improved graphics, and subtle details of the game ensure this is the best Flight Control yet. iPad gamers have their first must-buy title.

Recapping the Education & Nonprofit Keynotes at Dreamforce 2022
If you haven't heard, Dreamforce 2022 is happening right now. And how fitting that this year marks the 20th annual Dreamforce — and it's also the first time we're getting the Salesforce family back together in person since 2019!
Between a global pandemic, supply chain constraints, and macroeconomic headwinds, the world has changed since we last gathered in person for Dreamforce 2019. Given the unprecedented last few years, we've been determined to make Dreamforce 2022 our biggest, most impactful Dreamforce ever. While thousands are gathered at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, thousands more are tuning in virtually across the globe through Salesforce+.
For us at Salesforce.org, of course, we're especially focused on our nonprofit and education trailblazers. So if you missed the education or nonprofit keynotes, we've got you covered with top takeaways from both. To dive a bit deeper and watch the full keynote replays, check out Salesforce+ for the session recordings.
Education Keynote: Wow Your Students for Lifelong Success
Thursday's education keynote was as much an exciting look ahead at upcoming innovations as it was a much-deserved celebration of the impact and resilience of the education sector through the last three years. Among the keynote highlights were the stories of connection, inspiration, innovation, and impact from our education team, and our amazing education Trailblazers, USC Annenberg and the Queensland University of Technology. It was also very exciting to award one very deserving education trailblazer — Kathy Lueckeman — a golden hoodie!
On the innovation side, Salesforce Genie has been the talk of #Dreamforce2022 and that was no different when it came to education announcements. The education team talked about how Salesforce Genie will provide new and powerful ways to integrate, at scale, first and third party data, and then combine it with data that already lives in the CRM to drive a truly unified student profile, hyper-personalization, and process automation — all in real time.
For more customer stories, product innovations, and celebrations of all things education, watch the full replay of the education keynote on Salesforce+.
Nonprofit Keynote: Move Your Mission Forward
At Wednesday's nonprofit keynote, the focus was on greater data utilization, digitization, and strengthening connections. The day saw three incredible Trailblazers share their stories about how organizations of all kinds are building relationships that drive change, optimize their resources, and grow their impact. Among them is Year Up, which showcased the importance of developing with real-time insights, and KWF, which shared how they motivate volunteers with real-time data. Furthermore, it wouldn't be #Dreamforce2022 without the coveted golden hoodie, which went to one outstanding nonprofit trailblazer: William Penn Foundation's very own Samantha Shain!

Boston Celtics legendary forward Larry Bird will be a major character in a new HBO drama series about the 1980s Los Angeles Lakers, and the role will be played by actor Bo Burnham, per Variety's Joe Otterson.
Burnham will play one of several Celtics who figure prominently in the pitched rivalry between these two teams in 80s. It takes place during a period when the NBA Finals were dominated by the two iconic teams, and explores the historic era from the Lakers perspective. Adam McKay's Los Angeles Lakers drama, based on the book "Showtime: Magic, Kareem, Riley, and the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty of the 1980s," by Jeff Pearlman, will also feature Michael Chiklis as Red Auerbach.
It will also cast Sally Field as Jessie Buss, Adrien Brody as Pat Riley, John C. Reilly as Jerry Buss, Jason Clarke as Jerry West, Quincy Isaiah as Magic Johnson, and Solomon Hughes as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

|Ideas for Action : Save, Recycle and Do Not Pollute (IIRR, 1992, 146 p.)
|Conserving resources
Using cars, instead of walking, obviously consumes gasoline, aside from the fact that motor vehicles spew pollution on the air. It also takes up more space in an already congested city and distracts government attention from mass transit systems. Minimizing the use of private cars will shore up the economy, conserve fuel, lessen pollution and traffic and encourage the government to develop public transportation.
But, for those who own cars, here are the important things to do:
· Keep the car in good running condition. Have regular tune-ups and check-ups, such as changing oil, wheel-balancing and spark plug checks.
· Check with the local car dealer for any energy-efficiency and environment-friendly car gadgets to be availed of.
· Lessen the burden that the car has to carry. Take all unnecessary junks out of the trunk.
· Instead of warming up the car in the morning by letting the engine idle, warm it up by driving slowly and gently (as though bottles are balanced on the hood) for the first 15 minutes of the trip. This way, every bit of gasoline consumption will be used in actual travel.
· Use car air conditioner only when needed. Air conditioners increase fuel consumption and make the engine work harder, causing it to produce more pollution.
· Keep the car cooler by parking it in shaded areas or even painting it a lighter color so it won't absorb too much heat.
· Drive at a steady pace. Minimize braking by anticipating changes in speed and taking your foot off the gas as soon as you see a red light or slowed traffic. This lessens gasoline consumption and saves wear-and tear on the engine, brakes and tires.
· If you are going to stop the car for more than a minute, turn the engine off. The gas consumed by one minute of idling is more than that consumed by restarting a car.
· Don't fill the tank to the brim. Even with a gasoline cap on, some fuel can spill out. Leave some space for heat expansion.
· Join or form a car pool with well-planned schedules and practical routes to follow. This is a better way to eliminate unnecessary trips, to save fuel consumption and prolong life service of your car.

How Much Do Lash Extensions Cost?
These days, everyone is vying for thick, voluminous lashes, whether that's through eyelash extensions or experimenting with serums and oils, like castor oil, which is rumored to trigger growth.
Since most of us are WFH for the foreseeable future, we don't necessarily want to reach for that mascara tube every morning if we're not even leaving the house. Sure going the serum/oil route might be more natural, but there's no guarantee of noticeable results, and it requires a lot of patience. Maybe you're even considering a cheap, at-home eyelash extension kit as an alternative to salon lashes.
Well if you're pondering all these things and wondering if professional lash extensions are a good investment for you, and how much they'll really set you back, you've come to the right place.
Find out everything you need to know about eyelash extensions, ahead.
How Much Do Eyelash Extensions Cost?
Since it's truly a customizable experience, the total cost of your extensions depend on a few different variables. According to celebrity eyelash and brow expert and founder of Eye Design New York Nadia Afanaseva, the price of lash extensions can range anywhere from $200 to $500.
"At Eye Design New York we have multiple levels of technicians," Afanaseva tells InStyle. "[It depends] on experience and speed of the procedure performance, as well as the style of lashes the client would prefer."
She notes that the price also depends on the style of lashes you receive and the effect you're going for, whether that's a more natural or more dramatic look. Generally, the more detailed look you want, the more expensive your bill will be. Eye Design New York even provides a signature style, called the "Kim's effect," which will cost you about $500 if you book with a top-level technician.
Then, there's the maintenance fees.
"The most common add-on service for lash artists is cleaning off makeup or unclean lashes," Lindsay Ford, the marketing manager of Bella Lash, says. "A lash artist normally charges their time to clean your lashes, as they cannot apply extensions to dirty or makeup-covered lashes."
According to Afanaseva, her salon does not charge extra for maintenance, only for refills, which last about two weeks. But she says there are some tricks to make your extensions last a bit longer.
"No sleeping on your face, no oil base products on extension, and no rubbing of the eyes," she says. "Some of our clients may wear them for at least 2 months.
Is At-Home Application or Removal Safe?
With COVID cases rising as winter's approaching, uncertainty of another lockdown is looming. So what happens if we do experience another lockdown, and it's time to remove your extensions? Afanaseva says she advises against it — unless it is absolutely necessary.
"During the recent COVID lockdown, we realized that a lot of lash clients globally were struggling on how to safely remove the lashes," she says. "So we published a special video on our social media on how to remove the lashes from home, using our lash removal product line."
While extensions aren't cheap, the pro of going to the salon is that you are getting a safe application and quality extensions that will last.
Knowing how to properly apply your own extensions can be tricky, and if you're a first-timer, it could cause damage and irritation to your eyes.
"In the event another lockdown occurs, it is a perfect time to allow your lashes to breathe," she says. "As professionals, we strongly advise not to try to apply lash extensions at home, unless you are licensed to do so because the eyes are a very sensitive area and it can cause serious eye damage and or allergies."
Are Eyelash Extensions Worth the Splurge?
If you're aiming for perfection and safety, the cost of extensions just might be worth it.
"Eyelash extensions have become extremely popular," says Afanaseva. "It has become part of a lot of women's beauty regimen. The beauty of professional eyelash extensions is the variety of lash effects that beautify and compliment your natural features."
At the end of the day, if you're looking to get thick and long lashes in a quick and safe way, extensions may be for you. But if the con of the cost outweighs the pros of the convenience and voluminous lashes, you may want to stick to your tried and true favorite tube of mascara or falsies.

Weekly Product Rotation (Pur, Tarte, Essence, Estee Edit, ELF)
Last week, I kept my makeup simple. I pulled out products that I know work for me and I don't have to think too much about how to apply it. Winter doesn't want to go away, and last week I needed to get ready as quickly as possible to deal with the snow and car. Let's hope this week is milder.
Pur Cosmetics Soiree Diaries Palette: If you don't want to think too much about your makeup look, a neutral palette is a great choice. I really like the Soiree Diaries palette because it has every thing I look for in a palette. It's also very neutral and I don't have to think too much about what i'm wearing.
Tarte Toasted Palette: If I'm looking for a warmer toned eye look, this one is good. It's not too warm, not too orange or red toned. I love the shimmers in this palette. I wanted to use this palette because I hadn't used it much since I first bought it, and I still really like it.
Essence Blush In Adorable: Essence blushes are so nice, they blend so easily. They last all day on my skin and I don't think you could go wrong with an Essence blush. This is one of those blushes that you can apply a generous amount and not go overboard.
Estee Edit Bronzer in Light/Medium: Unfortunately, this bronzer is no longer available. It's one of my favorite bronzer. It's perfect on my fair skin. It's not too cool, not too warm and blends so quickly. Again, a bronzer I can apply and not worry about how I'm applying it.
ELF Highlighting HS Powder in Starlight Glow: If you haven't tried the new ELF highlighters, you really should. They are beautiful on the skin. I've used this highlighter quite a bit now, and it's a "go to" for me.

Hoist the mainsail and wave goodbye to the shore. The ocean is a wide adventure full of majesty, mystery, danger, and beauty, and it's all captured in this week's Rabbit Reads selection, a small but mighty nautical yarn.
Set to Sea by Drew Weing (Fantagraphics, 2014)
Graphic Novels / Adventure / Poetry
The main character in Set to Sea is unnamed. He's an aspiring poet, an oversized landlubber, and he hears the call of the sea. This means nothing more than maritime poetry on the pages of his journal, until he finds himself thrown headfirst—and quite against his will—into everything the sea has to offer in all its rollicking, harsh, brutal fury.
Set to Sea is a delightfully unexpected book. Harsh and wild, lyrical and thoughtful, it spins a nautical yarn that explores the scope of a life full of unexpected turns, finding significance in both the big and small moments, the dramatic and the mundane. The book is unassuming—simple in plot, short in pages and small in dimensions, but it packs a wallop, astonishingly evocative and effortlessly, impressively textured.
The graphics reflect the range of the story, combining wild cartoon art—clearly influenced by E. C. Segar's Popeye comics—with some of the most deftly-rendered environments you'll find in any picture book. For the record, this is not a kid's book—there's some sword-and-musket violence, nothing too graphic, but probably enough for a content warning.
I can't overemphasize the word 'poetic,' and not just because the main character is a poet. Each page in the book is a single drawing, and those drawings read like words in a poem, carrying on the rolling cadence of the story while drawing the reader in to dwell on each one in more depth. I find myself rushing through the book, caught up its momentum; I also find myself pausing on this page or that page to feel, to ponder, to explore.
And like a good poem, this one is worth multiple visits. You never know what new things you'll discover when you Set to Sea.

Dweller Teas from Manipur have come up with its new "Nong-Mang-Kha Ginger Loose Tea' to enable the public to consume more of the traditional herb, Nongmangkha.
Endowed with anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties, Nongmangkha is consumed to boost their immunity.
The particular tea variant is being sold at a low price to make it available to all sections of buyers.
Dweller Teas is popular for blending naturally grown, indigenous fruits and herbs into unique tea variants.
These fruits and herbs are rich in medicinal properties.
With the Covid-19 pandemic raging and no effective treatment available, people are now exploring alternatives like traditional herbs to prevent flu and the common cold during the winter.
"When we as kids had cold or fever, we used to consume Nongmangkha for its anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties," said Elizabeth Yambem, founder of Dweller Teas.
"Just like the way my grandma gave me the boiled herb, many mothers are using this traditional herb to help their children fight the seasonal cough and cold," she added.
The consumption of this herb has tremendously increased in the state following the pandemic.
Dweller Teas has also seen a spike in the demand for its 'Nong-Mang-Kha Ginger Green Tea' during the pandemic.

The small town of Pateley Bridge sits at the point where the hills that border Nidderdale first reach an altitude of 1,000ft, and the town owned much of its early prosperity to this position on the border between upland and lowland, which made it an ideal market centre.
The town became an important market centre during the fourteenth century, in a period when it was surrounded by important monastic estates - the road west to Grassington was the Monastic road from Fountains Abbey to Wharfedale. Other good roads led east to Ripon, south east to Harrogate and south to Otley.
There has been a river crossing at Pateley Bridge for at least 2,000 years, and industrial activity can be traced back almost as far, to Roman lead mines at Greenhow, on the hills to the west. Stone quarrying and lead mining remained important around Pateley Bridge into the nineteenth century.
The town was a centre of water-powered linen production until the start of the nineteenth century, when steam powered mills closer to the coal fields took over. The mills then turned to the manufacture of cord and rope. By the late nineteenth century the town supported two breweries, and was becoming an important agricultural centre. The Nidderdale Agricultural Show still takes place every year, on the Monday nearest to 20 September
The current church of St Cuthbert was built in 1827, replacing the medieval church of St. Mary, whose remains can be found on the minor road that climbs up onto the hills east of the town.
South-east of the town the route of the Nidderdale Way takes it along the Panorama Walk, 300 feet above the River Nidd. The minor roads up Nidderdale also lead to fine walking country, with the added bonus of the Nidderldale reservoirs, which start with Gouthwaite Reservoir, two miles up the valley.
The town also contains the Nidderdale Museum, built in a former workhouse. The museum contains a series of exhibits looking at life in Nidderdale over the centuries.

An online petition sparks the initiative to memorialize the comedian and Oscar-winning film star in the virtual planes of Azeroth.
The immediate death of Robin Williams on Monday was a painful shock, and the vast outpouring of love for the popular comedian and Oscar-winning film star over social media in the days after only proves how truly loved he was to people of all ages. Especially, for fans of Blizzard Entertainment's popular MMORPG, World of Warcraft.
Days after his untimely passing, an online petition on Change.org was made to ask Blizzard to "create an NPC within the game that memorializes the actor/creator." Williams was a huge WoW compatriot himself and even admitted as much in frequent interviews.
World of Warcraft, which has a player base of about 6.8 million people, has been known to build the kind of tight-knit communities that mirror large, loving families, and like they would for one of their own, the turnout to support the online petition was very successful. In mere hours the petition reached over 10,000 signatures, gaining the attention of media outlets across the web.
Awesome for sure, but without the blessing of Blizzard themselves, no amount of signatures or Kotaku blogs could magically make their collective request become true. Thankfully, in this age of social accessibility, someone on Twitter managed to ask a technical game designer on World of Warcraft if they had seen the petition, and their response confirms – while not outright – that their wish will be granted.
Again, not an official commitment, but creating an in-game memorial to a person has never been out of the question for Blizzard.
In the past, the developer has posthumously honored many people of importance, e.g., the Shrine of the Fallen Warrior, an in-game memorial dedicated to nineteen-year-old Michel Koiter, who was a World of Warcraft illustrator at Blizzard and died of heart failure during the game's development in 2004.
Here's hoping Blizzard comes along and shares their plans for a Robin Williams memorial NPC quite soon – one Blizzard employee, lead game designer Ion Hazzikostas, has confirmed to the Assoicated Press that memorial ideas are being considered as we speak.
If done, it would be an amazing gesture for an amazing person who brought so much laughter and happiness to people across this blue little orb we call Earth. Be sure to follow the Robin Williams WoW memorial Change.org petition through this link, and we'll be sure to keep you in the loop on any further news on this story.

In this large meta-analysis of 110 RCTs, the incidence of post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) was only 4.2% with use of atraumatic spinal needles compared to conventional LP needles at 11%; NNT = 14. This is a game-changer.
Why does this matter?
PDPH is a common complication of lumbar puncture, occurring in over 10% of patients. It is notoriously difficult to treat in some patients, many of whom will require another invasive procedure (epidural blood patch) to get relief. If there was a simple way to avoid this, it would be a big win for patients. Looks like there is. Many thanks to @CoreySlovis for telling me about this article.
Is any needle jammed into your back atraumatic?
This was a very large systematic review and meta-analysis of 110 high-quality randomized trials, with over 31,000 patients. They found the incidence of post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) was dramatically less using the atraumatic needle as opposed to the conventional spinal needle: 11% vs 4.2%. That's a number needed to treat of 14, meaning one less PDPH for every 14 lumbar punctures done. Every secondary outcome they looked at was also better in the atraumatic needle group, including need for IV fluid, pain medication, blood patch, any headache, nerve root irritation, or hearing disturbance. And this was not at the expense of first-attempt success, which was identical between atraumatic and conventional needles. Also, bloody tap and backache were the same. These were high quality, RCTs. The evidence doesn't get much better than this, so use of atraumatic needles should be a practice change we make. Personally, I have tried them and found two challenges. First, you need to push harder to advance the needle. Next, if you choose to use a smaller gauge atraumatic needle, with the increased pressure needed to advance, the needle can bend and skew off target. Be careful! You have to make sure you control the directionality of the needle near the skin.
Atraumatic versus conventional lumbar puncture needles: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Lancet. 2018 Mar 24;391(10126):1197-1204. doi: 10.1016/S0140-6736(17)32451-0. Epub 2017 Dec 7.

Your back teeth are obviously shaped differently from your other teeth. That is because they have a very special job to do. Your back teeth, which are known as molars and premolars have the job of crushing and grinding your food to make it easier for you to swallow and your body to digest. In other words, your back teeth allow you to chew your food.
To do this, the chewing surfaces of those teeth come with a series of grooves and ridges, which are perfect for making short work of your meals. But those grooves and ridges also make excellent hiding places for the food debris, bacteria and plaque that cause tooth decay. And those places can be very difficult to reach with your toothbrush.
To solve this problem, our dentist, Dr. Stephen Huber can apply sealants to your back teeth. Sealants are very thin layers of plastic that will act as barriers between your teeth and substances that can attack your tooth enamel. The process is painless and can done in a single visit. The sealants can last for many years. However, you still need to brush your teeth twice a day and floss at least once a day since the sealants will only protect the chewing surfaces of your teeth.
Sealants work best when they are applied as soon as possible after teeth erupt. Because of that, children are usually the ones who receive dental sealants. However, an adult who struggles with tooth decay may also be a good candidate for sealants.

I was left confused by Devi Sridhar's article (The northern lockdown represents government failure. There is a better way, 31 July). She urged the adoption of "an objective with a timeline, forming a gameplan, appointing a high-level official to oversee things", but none of these have any specific content. The content, far from reflecting the title, actually suggests a localised approach. Insofar as I detected any recommendations, they were to use "a robust testing and tracing system" and local expertise. These are ideas being widely shared, and show that our government has adopted almost the opposite approach, starving local authorities of information and resources in favour of corporations. The government has refrained from testing at the UK border, which other countries have made standard.
It brings us back to the basic nature of this government – distrust of the public sector, tight centralisation, poverty-stricken government agencies and overall incompetence, with leadership confined to those unquestioningly loyal to the prime minister. The similarities between our government and Donald Trump's are many and the result the same – large numbers of people dying.

• Sir Paul Nurse rightly laments the inept use of science by politicians (Secrecy has harmed UK government's response to Covid-19 crisis, says top scientist, 2 August). There is a dearth of appropriate education and experience at the highest levels. Not one of the politicians purportedly leading the response has a degree-level qualification in medicine, science or engineering. Of the members of the UK, Welsh and Scottish cabinets, and the Northern Ireland executive (56 individuals in total), none have such a medical qualification and only three have qualifications in science or engineering. So it is unlikely that they will be able to critically assess expert advice.
The ineptitude of politicians in responding to scientific challenges is also seen in the handling of climate change, transport (HS2) and communications (5G). Given the central role that medicine, engineering and science have in key societal issues, it is surely time to launch an initiative to encourage such professionals to take an active role in politics.

• Edward Morgan of the Office for National Statistics observes that "excess mortality was geographically widespread throughout the UK during the pandemic, whereas it was more geographically localised in most countries of western Europe" (Covid-19: England had highest excess death levels in Europe by end of May, 30 July). It's striking, for example, that in Italy the first wave of Covid-19 did not spread in large numbers from the highly infected north to Rome and the south, and similarly in Spain. What did England do differently? A late lockdown, a refusal to close borders, no quarantine for international arrivals until June. None of the explanations – toying with herd immunity, prioritising the economy over public health – cast a positive light on Boris Johnson.

• Nesrine Malik (A nation mourns its Covid-19 dead. But for Boris Johnson it's a time for triumphalism, 3 August) rightly highlights the lack of acknowledgment of the thousands who have died. Contrast Italy. On 4 September, Verdi's Requiem will be played in Milan's Duomo cathedral in remembrance, and relayed to all churches and TV stations. There will be repeat performances in Brescia and Bergamo, where loss of life was heaviest. On 12 September, the La Scala opera house in Milan will stage a special performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony for health workers. Beats a one-minute silence dragged from a reluctant government.

The red-hot Boston Celtics host the Chicago Bulls on Monday night, and if you're looking to do some last-minute betting research, you're in luck! We'll give you the latest point spread, moneyline odds and over-under number, as well as the information you'll need to make the smartest bet on BetMGM.
The game tips off at 7:30 p.m. ET and can be seen on NBC Sports Boston and NBC Sports Chicago.
The Celtics (31-26) are on a six-game winning streak, and eased to a 119-103 win over the Bulls in their first meeting this season. Chicago (23-33) just snapped a five-game losing streak with a win over the Cavs on Saturday.
Zach LaVine is out for the Bulls, while Evan Fournier and Robert Williams are out for Boston. Kemba Walker and Marcus Smart are questionable.
The lines, courtesy of BetMGM
- Point spread: Celtics -6.5
- Money line: Celtics -275 / Bulls +220
- Over-under: 215.5
Place your legal, online sports bets in VA, CO, IA, IN, NJ, PA, TN and WV at BetMGM.
Advice and prediction
The Celtics have covered the spread in four consecutive games, and have hit the over in four of their last five games. With LaVine out and Boston playing it's best basketball of the year, Celtics -6.5 is a good bet. The best bet on the board, however, might be over 215.5.
Boston has averaged 117 points per game during their current winning streak, and the Bulls don't have a particularly fearsome defense, ranking 21st in the league in defensive rating. The Bulls have hit the over in five of their last seven. We're sticking with the trends and taking over 215.5.
Prediction: Celtics 123, Bulls 107

Walters, Minette. The Ice House (1992)
St. Martin's, 301 pages, $5.99 paperback
When a decomposing body is discovered in the ice house on a British estate, two cynical detectives arrive to investigate. They're certain that the body must be that of the husband of the household, who disappeared 10 years earlier. Furthermore, they wonder, along with all the residents of the town, why the missing man's wife and two female companions—all women approaching middle age—live together in seclusion in the house. As they dig more deeply into the problem of the body in the ice house, they discover that things may not be as they seem. The reader also discovers that appearances can be deceiving.

When our Paris Renaissance meeting had to be postponed earlier this year, we discussed with our expert faculty how we could harness the energy and build on the thinking everyone had put into the challenge of "Striving for Transformational Value". The result is this White Paper in which our Renaissance faculty, supported by Pharmaphorum, examines the key tenets of the concept and the opportunity for pharma to take a big picture view of 'transformational value' and how to respond to it.
Synopsis : Transformational Value: Preparing for a decade of radical change
We have reached an inflexion point, where the extraordinary advances in science and pioneering treatments herald a period of radical change in healthcare.
This White Paper also incorporates the need to deliver recognisable and evidenced value to stakeholders so that these advances become affordable therapeutic solutions for patients and society. Our Renaissance faculty examines the dynamic drivers for life changing healthcare solutions, and the opportunity for companies to play a meaningful role.
