Criteria Used for Evaluation
Honestly, we think it should be said straight out that multivitamins and other products along those lines have a pretty bad rep these days. So many companies are being called out for releasing lines that work poorly... if they work at all. The main goal is the make sure that the formula of a supplement is packed with good ingredients that actually make a difference.
There are a few different ways to figure out whether or not a supp' stands up to the test. First off, you can take a good look at the ingredients. Those are a pretty good indicator of exactly how well it's going to perform. We suggest looking for these things specifically:
Non-GMO: It's always nice to know the purity of a product. You can generally tell this by looking at how many "verifications" a label has. Non-GMO is great, alongside "Vegan", "Kosher", "Gluten-Free", and more! These are just overall better for your health and made with athletes in mind.
Gluten-free: Even if you don't suffer from a gluten allergy or celiac disease, you may want to consider taking gluten out of your diet. Some athletes swear by it- and we're not just talking your personal trainer at the local gym! There are professionals in the big leagues who are entirely gluten-free by choice.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: These are the reason that fish, avocados, nuts, and oils are all good for you (in moderation, as always!). People often get scared at the idea of "fats" in their foods (thanks 80's Food Pyramid propaganda). However, this is just simply not the case. They are essential for healthy, plump, bright complexions.
Collagen: The main protein that makes up your skin. Collagen is really the number one priority as far as skin health goes. The more you can pack it into your diet, the better! The protein you ingest breaks down into amino acids and is then able to build up into the different chains needed for a healthy body.
... And more! Those are just some of the top ones that come to mind. Don't be afraid to put a little bit of research into those different names.
Product Purity
The purity of the formula is absolutely crucial. Essentially, we're talking about staying away from nasty things that could foul up a formula. There are so many reasons why you need to ensure the purity of anything you're ingesting.
So many chemicals are dumped into different health products these days. It can really be a setback for those who are just trying to live a healthy life (like you!). When we talk about the purity we're referring to how the ingredients were sourced, which ingredients are present, how many fillers they've used, whether there are preservatives or not... and quite a bit more, honestly.
That's part of the reason we do this research for you. Picking apart the science and getting to the meat of the matter can be challenging. Sometimes it's just a headache! Don't worry if it seems a little confusing- we've got it down pat at this point. Everything we've laid out today for you has been put through rigorous testing by us to make sure it's full of nothing but goodness!
Have you ever taken a vitamin faithfully for a few weeks and still seen no signs of improvement? Well, you were probably taking a weak formula that didn't have the right mix of good stuff to get you where you wanted to be.
As athletes, it can be tough to not get results quickly. We all need to think about the virtue of patience and how well the long-game turns out. One of the biggest hurdles to get over is the desire for quick results with little personal investment... but that's just human nature, quite frankly.
You really do have to give it at least a month before you start judging any of these supplements too harshly. We promise you, however, that each and everyone is just as potent as the last. They all have different pros and cons, sure, but the one thing that stays the same is the level of potency the ingredients deliver.
Side Effects
Anytime you're dealing with a consumable you want to ensure that you know about any sensitivities you might have. Allergies, too, of course! Even though the options we have on our top ten list are all fantastic, it doesn't matter if you're sensitive to a specific ingredient in them.
So, ask yourself the following questions:
- Do I have celiacs?
- Am I vegetarian or vegan?
- Am I sensitive to gluten?
- Can I digest soy?
In general, just ask yourself if there are any ingredients you need to watch out for. If you start taking a new supplement and don't have the best reaction, try to figure out which specific ingredient is causing it. That'll help determine what you need to stay away from.
We also tried to keep in mind that some formulas are more sensitive to multiple people's needs than others. We've tried to give you a wide variety of different styles so that you know there will be at least one that works with your diet.
Finally, we come to our last criterion! So, while these are very specifically designed for excellent skin-health, we also tried to make sure there were other good things in the mix, too. The aim wasn't to find multi-vitamins, but it never hurts to pick the ones that specifically have some more benefits to offer.
Many of the names we have listed will have more benefits than just boosting the elasticity of your skin. It's just in our nature to try and find you a good bargain! Better to take one or two capsules a day than ten, right? Better for your bank account, too! Health and wellness products can get pretty expensive.
Expert Interviews & Opinions
Your skin is actually made up of three different layers. The epidermis, dermis, and the hypodermis. Each one has a different role to play in protecting your body- and, of course, keeping everything in!
Most people don't know, but every month or so your skin completes its a process of regeneration. You shed skin cells constantly! That's why it's important to take care of your skin. Damage to the elasticity and collagen can severely impact its ability to regenerate.
Other Factors to Consider
Essentially, we're talking about the way that you're ingesting the supplement.
There are three main ways that they can be delivered to you:
- Liquid
- Capsule
- Powder
This really comes down to personal taste. We selected a few from all three categories because different palettes prefer different products! If you aren't a fan of capsules then you might want to try a liquid or powder.
Between liquid and powder, the better choice depends on a few things. First off, what are you trying to mix them into? If it's baking, then either works fine but the powder is probably preferable. It mixes in easily with the dry ingredients while the liquid may have trouble going in with the wet.
This is because fats don't mix well with water, so if you're using water in the wet ingredients you may have trouble getting it mixed properly.
Bottom Line
This is going to be a hard choice! Each and every entry on our guide today has the potential to totally rock your world. We've listed them all, from our favorite to our honorable mentions, and now you've just gotta figure out what works best for you.
We intend to leave you with the knowledge you need to make the best decisions for your body. The health and wellness industry can be filled with a lot of misinformation and empty promises, but you can bet we'll never lead you wrong. All of the brands we talked about today are totally trustworthy, and the product lines they put out are even better.
You really just need to think about the needs of your own body and what it's telling you. When you're losing weight you need to make sure you're still getting all of the vitamins and minerals necessary for function. Skin loses its elasticity due to being stretched out when you're overweight. It isn't just about the stretching, though. It's also about the number of nutrients you're getting while you're watching your CICO.
But, that's enough talking for one day! It's time to get out there and find the best fit for you! Good luck, and happy hunting!
Frequently Asked Questions
q: Why is collagen so good for skin?
First off, you have to know that collagen is actually a protein. Really, what "protein" means is just a chain of amino acids. If the protein is a dish, then amino acids are the ingredients, if that makes sense.
Collagen is the protein that gives skin it's vibrant glow and general resilience. Having extra collagen in your diet will give you a plumper, brighter complexion!
q: Why is protein so important?
You'll see protein listed in almost all of the formulas featured today. This is because protein breaks down into little chains of amino acids. They are the building blocks of life, so to speak! You have taurine, guanine, cytosine, and adenosine.
The extra protein in your diet means that you'll have extra amino acids to build into other larger chains to support other areas of your body. Keratin is technically a protein, for example, and is regenerated easier when you have protein in your diet.
q: Are there any vegan friendly versions?
There are, but they are super hard to find. One of the biggest reasons is related to the two answers above. Because protein is so often meat-based, it can be difficult to pin down supplements in this style that do not contain animal products.
Don't get us wrong- they're out there! But they aren't going to be nearly as effective as the ones that include beef gelatin, for example.
q: What should I look for specifically in the ingredients?
Here's a small rundown of the specific names we suggest people look for in the ingredients list:
- Zinc
- Vitamin E
- Vitamin C
- Protein
- Fatty Acids
- Protein
There are a few more, but the ones above should make it onto the list at the very least!
q: Do any of these even work?
A little hostile, sure, but certainly a question worth asking. There are a lot of formulas on the market today that are all hype and no hope. The entire point of this website is to find the best of the best so that you can choose from the top dogs on the market.
While we recognize some multivitamins and supplements don't work all that well, we aren't about to talk about them here. Rest assured that we will never host products on our buying guides without making sure they're absolutely effective first!

I moved to Liverpool, UK for an amazing personal development journey that started with a bachelors degree in International Business at the University of Liverpool. Most importantly I started getting involved in the community and found my passion for social action.
After university I've committed my life to serving others and the community. I am a leader of the Polish community in Liverpool where I run weekly events that help strengthen relationship, remove social isolation and provide a friendly place for newcomers to the city.
In the last two years I've been working with Asylum Seekers, Refugees, unemployed young people with complex needs, Global Social Leaders and many more. I also done some travelling on my own with amazing trips to Hong Kong, Malaysia, Cambodia and Morocco.
I started my journey with Future Foundations as a coach eight years ago. Using my performance background (I trained as an actor at Drama Centre London) I quickly realised that with the combination of this and FF's brilliant programmes I could really contribute in helping young people to make real change in their lives.
Having thrown myself into the coaching role and gaining invaluable on programme experience I started to undertake the running of the programmes. National Citizen Service (NCS) for Berkshire was my first challenge, the success of which led to FF winning the chance to run NCS Leaders for the top 100 students in the country. My highlight was taking twenty students to 10 Downing Street to discuss youth provision in this country with the Prime Minister's right hand men.
I then spent 2 years full time at FF headquarters in Clapham as a Senior Project Manager running all kinds of programmes from one day to residential, as well as being involved in marketing, website design and sales.
I am thrilled to be currently running the AWS Get IT programme in Partnership with Amazon Web Services, which is visionary year 8 programme to inspire young people, especially girls, to break down gender stereotypes and to get into IT.
Alice joined the Future Foundations team following an eight year career in the gap year industry, organising, managing and promoting overseas volunteer and internship programmes for 18-24 year olds. Continually impressed by the breadth of skill, ambition and positive attitudes young people demonstrate when faced with complex challenges and the self-confidence that journey inspires, she holds a firm belief in the benefits of experiential learning! Having spent the best part of the last decade encouraging young people to travel and volunteer their time to social action projects in the developing world, Alice is now focused on the difference young people can make in their own lives and communities, ensuring every young person has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Alice is a key member of the Global Social Leader Team, for more information www.globalsocialleaders.com
Head of Office Projects & Community Manager, Part Time.
I first started with FF in 2009 and quickly became fully immersed as a lead Coach & later as a Course Director on many of their programmes, as well as helping with all manor of office duties and content design, for around 5yrs.
My background is in holistic therapies, coaching, yoga & mindfulness, and I loved being able to bring this aspect into the programmes. Working with teenagers has been one of the highlights of my career, especially those who struggled to feel heard or figure out where they belong.
Outside of contracting with FF as a Coach & Course Director, I work privately as a Holistic Coach & Yoga/Meditation Teacher running classes, workshops and 121 sessions.
Whilst creative & intuitive, I also have a super organised and logical side and this has always been kept occupied through various office roles, ranging from working in the HR Department of one of the largest newspapers in the country, to being 'girl friday' to small start ups.
Returning to FF in 2018, after some time traveling and becoming a mum, I'm now working part time in the office and loving being a part of the FF family once more.
Alice became a member of the Future Foundations family in August 2019. Prior to this, she was a History student at the University of Southampton. Upon graduating, Alice had little idea about what kind of career path she wanted to take, however she found FF (or FF found her!) when she was searching for new opportunities in the wide wide world of work.
FF struck her as an extremely positive and empowering company – and she wanted to be a part of it. Alice looks forward to learning new things, broadening her horizons and, perhaps most importantly, contributing to the creation of the leaders of the future.
As Office and Projects Administrator, Alice oversees the daily running of the office and offers support and assistance to FF's projects and programmes. She is delighted to have joined the team, and cannot wait to find out what the future may bring.

Descrição da cena
Gina Valentina is a sexy latina with tattoos inked all over her hot body. When her stepbro catches her changing, he hides in the doorway watching her snap a selfie and then playing with herself. She strips out of her panties and tosses them in the hamper. When she leaves the room, her stepbro jerks off right into them. But she's an understanding big sister so she offers to help him out with a blow job. He fucks her all over their living room. Maybe he won't grow up to be a panty sniffing creep after all.Publicado(a) 2 anos atrás e última atualização 2 anos atrás

Animal heroics
suffering at the hands of humans. In fact, groups have been
protesting the use of elephants in circuses due to allegations of
chaining them up for days at a time.
But twice this week, stories emerged of animals helping their human
counterparts, both in the field of law enforcement. One was locally,
in Madison Heights, and the other came out of Germany.
In Madison Heights, a teenager was alerted to a burglar by her dog
barking. The dog — a boxer-bull terrier mix named Bear — had cornered
the intruder, a 6-foot-4 man who had entered through a back door and
already had his hands on a laptop when the dog realized what was
The man was frozen for a moment, hiding behind the door and using it
as a shield. He had to kick the dog to get away, but he fled empty-
handed. Unfortunately, the man got away — likely to victimize someone
But at least the two teenagers at home that morning did not have to
face the terror of a home invader alone.
This story is the one reason we do not mind my black Lab barking at
everything that walks by and everyone who dares ring the bell. It
just takes once for a tragedy, and this family was lucky.
In Berlin, it was not a family pet but a herd of wild boars who saved
the day, according to a story from The Associated Press.
A suspected car thief was hightailing it away from the scene of his
crime, followed by police. He ditched the stolen SUV and his
passenger in a field and successfully fled the arriving officers, who
arrested the passenger.
However, the suspect had to call for help of his own after he had run
into a wooded area. Officers followed the shouts and found their man
but first they had to save him — from a herd of angry boars.
Apparently, he had stumbled into a spot where they had their young
and the protective animals were not keen on the intrusion.
Saved from the upset animals, police then arrested the 18-year-old man.
Again, good news about animals is a nice change of pace.

When you are accepting of your path in life, things move along smoothly, gracefully. It's as if you flow from one thing to the next. "When we become entwined with our path, the steps become as soft as velvet, and the ascent flows smoothly."
This is different than being resigned to the flow of life. When resigned, there is an attitude of defeat. You are battling to make things go a certain way. Often, you are angry or bitter, blaming the situation for any feelings of unrest you may have.
When I became sober, I accepted what was going on around me, but I was resigned with defeat. It was a very heavy feeling. Somewhere along the way, things changed for me and I began to gracefully accept that things were as they should be in the Divine world. I had finally gotten to the realization that when there was nothing I could do to change something, then accepting it became the softer and easier way.
I am not saying that you should resign yourself to a situation if there is something you can do to change it. On the contrary, you can take action to try and change something. But when your actions do not impact the situation, when you keep hitting a wall, then it is time to gracefully accept what is happening.
Acceptance also applies to your feelings. If you can accept what you are feeling at any given time, then it is easier to flow through those emotions, and to heal if that is what is needed. So often, we ignore or discount or deny our feelings and that just intensifies them. Again, the easier softer way is acceptance of them.
To reach acceptance, perhaps it is helpful for you to pray or to meditate. This helps you let go of the way you want something to turn out, and allows the Divine to work in your life. If you then feel sad or hurt over the results,m then accept that also. If you do, that emotion will pass more quickly. It is helpful in accepting your path in life to just let go, to surrender, to accept. It leads to peace.

[box_dark]Fun is when the work is appreciated- Fashion designers[/box_dark]
Milan fashion week was an out roar as some of the renowned designers were present during the show to highlight their new collection of cloths for the coming fall and summers. The designers stated that the collection, which they are having, is suited for skimpy woman and even for those who are on the bulkier side. The fashion designers who were displaying their cloths, showed the collection of vibrant colors and use of fabric to the best. The fashion designers available in Milan stated that they are delighted to show the attires to the world. In addition, they also stated that, the attires, which they have created, is to be worn for style and you would get the delight in wearing them instead of going deeper in the details of the dresses.
Even the models who display the cloths of the fashion designers stated that, they are more interested in the styling of cloths rather than going in the deep concept of which fabric has been used or which quality of thread has been used for making the dress. In addition, they also stated that, they are happy to display the fashionable clothes from some of the renowned fashion designers of the world. Some of the famous fashion magazines stated that, going into the deeper concept of the details is for the experts and not for the common people. A fashion expert would look into the deeper meaning of a dress, which are created by the fashion designers. The models just have to display them so that it comes in the eye of world and they know about the latest trends of fashions.
One of the renowned fashion designers, Georgio Armani stated that, during the fashion week in Milan, he along with his team was able to design some of the best collections of dresses along with those, which are funky, cool in every aspect, and are best suited for the changing trends of fashion. In addition, Armani also stated that, they look into the inner meaning of fashion for creating fashionable trends in the market, but they are delighted to see the models display their cloths on the ramp. Moreover, the team of Armani stated in a fashion magazine that, they would be working on the deeper aspects of fashion as they are willing to keep the trend moving in the fashion world, but they are more delighted when they are praised for the work, which they have done in the fashion world.

I have a Remmy 597 HB that shoots pretty well- consistently about 1.5" to 2" at 100m with CCI SV.
I hope to find a better ammo that will tighten that up a bit as I think the rifle can achieve better. While it is decently accurate, it does have / has had a few issues. The extractor blew apart, which was covered under warranty, but it cost me way too much to ship it to Quebec for the repair. The charging handle flys out on occasion when it takes a hankering to do so, and I am lucky I have not lost it yet ( any fixes for that??).
Last week, one evening , when I was shooting it it began to have a few misfires- at first I thought it was the ammo, but it became much worse , to the point it pretty much would not fire at all.looking at the miss- fired cases, it appeared that the rim was deformed severely such that the rim was not receiving a firm strike but was kind of making a long "fold".misfire.jpg
I took the rifle apart, and observed a little bit of a dimple in the area where the firing pin would strike,causing me to fear that I had damaged the rifle and would need to reface the chamber/ barrel. Upon looking a little closer I was a little embarrased that there was a large amount of dirt/debris in the area above the chamber. There was enough gunk there that I felt it might prevent the bolt from properly entering battery, to allow a firm strike to the rim. I gave this area a thorough cleaning and tested the rifle. There certainly was an improvement, however I was still getting a higher than usual number of misfires. I continued to worry that the rifle was damaged due to peening. It occured to me that the bolt still may not be going fully into battery because of some other obstruction. I recalled reading about "carbon rings" forming in 22's and causing various problems-perhaps this was causing a problem somehow? For this rifle I usually give the barrel a couple of pull through's with Ed's Red , before putting it away, avoiding major disruption in the accuracy associated with more thorough cleaning. A this point I decided to give the rifle a much more thorough cleaning with solvent and a bore snake( usually I use a Otis cable). When the cleaning was complete, I tested the rifle once more- to my relief, the firing became as reliable as it had in the past, so I assume that the "ring" may have been part of the problem.-Maybe somebody else may benefit from my experience-

I want to like The Pipettes...it's just...um
[pipettes at luna lounge 3/12/07]
1. Let's be clear...I have no prejudice for bands which seek to invoke the sublime and ineffable musical past.
2. I myself am in a band that does that very thing.
3. Maybe it's that I couldn't put my finger on anything new about their music.
4. costumes were great, hand motions and choreography was cute, but what's below the surface?
5. I'm all for cute. I love cute. But in order for me to give myself over to it, cute needs to be a vehicle for something more subversive, interesting, or unexpected.
6. Music Snobbery, in a moment of total un-snobbishness, said that last night all the jaded new yorkers left their cynical self-consciousness at home and let loose on the dance floor. er...I guess they all read that blog and got self-conscious again tonight.
7. There is something irritating about music that's inexorably happy and un-complicated. I just feel like I can't give myself over to something that seems like it has it's head in the clouds. I guess it's fine to be monochromatically sunshiney, but all the hemming and hawing from bloggers makes it seem like there should be much more to this music.
8. Am i like the Grinch trying to talk about Christmas?
9. Yes they are all beautiful and clearly talented musicians, but why should I go see them instead of drinking a beer at home and renting Grease? I wanted to find the answer to that and i didn't. The songs and choreography in grease are WAY better. But The Pipettes are better because ___________. (someone please fill in the blank)
One great thing about the night was I got my first chance to see the new Luna Lounge. Holy God what an amazing new venue. The sound was excellent, not ear bleedingly loud and the space is so huge. Kate of Mattison was there and everyone was very nice.
Maybe the pipettes are just playing it safe and cute so that they get super famous
and then they're going to blow everyone away with 6 hour psychedelic 3rd-wave feminist rock opera directed by Matthew Barney. Call me when that happens because I have a date with Greased Lightning.
Here's a shaky video of their last song (before encore) for you devotees and skeptics alike...Pull Shapes is their single and was definitely the most lively of the set:

I'm pretty much with you on all points. When I first heard the Pipettes demo stuff on the internet a while back, I thought it was bright and charming. But then, upon finding out that they didn't write the songs, their very accessibility seemed beyond calculating. Talk about knowing your target audience! I have no problem with fun in my music, but this cute indie girl packaging makes me feel played.
- 3/16/2007
Er... they do write their own songs, D. All seven band members work on the songs together.

Former education minister and current lawmaker Hossein Mozaffar told IRNA on Sunday the impeachment of Education Minister Ali Asghar Fani scheduled to be held on Wednesday is "a strategic error" by parliament.
"Fani is an individual who has gained valuable experience due to various posts he has held in the Education Ministry… and depriving the education system at this point in time and in this situation (when the country is faced with a special economic and political situation) of such a conscientious figure will harm the sector," he said.
He also explained, "The questions raised by our colleagues in the Majlis about issues such as (the shortage of) educational space, (the shortcomings) in the provision of livelihood for teachers and promotion of educational justice are outside the purview of the minister."

Stretching and strengthening the muscles in your face and neck can literally open up the way you look by softening dark circles around the eyes, lessen wrinkles, lifting and defining your jaw and neck line.
Muscles that aren't used regularly becomes weak and tend to shrink slightly. This condition known as muscle atrophy causes the skin covering these muscles to sag, giving the appearance of wrinkles. So the simplest way to keep those jowls and wrinkles at bay is to tone up your muscles around the face and neck. Skin that has plump muscles underneath do not sag or wrinkle easily and muscles that are kept toned and firm defy gravity better. An additional benefit of toning your facial muscles is that the skin and general complexion will start to look better. Exercise causes blood to flow throughout this part of your face resulting in a healthy glow to the skin. Drinking a lot does not hurt, on the contrary.
While there may be many thoughts on which is the best form of facial exercise with the fastest results, start with these baby steps.
Around the eyes. Hold for a count of three and repeat five times.
- Squeeze your eyes tightly shut, place two fingers at the corners of your eyes and smooth the skin up towards the temples.
- Place fingertips just under the eyebrows while lifting the eyelids slightly. Shut eyelids firmly without moving fingers.
- Place both forefingers between the eyes. Smooth fingers out and up over eyebrows while keeping your eyes tightly shut.
- Place three fingers along the top of the cheekbones and slowly tip your head towards your chest. Use fingers to push cheek muscles up, over the cheekbone.
Around the mouth. Hold for a count of three and repeat five times.
- Open the mouth in your widest grin while tensing the muscles in the jaw. Then pucker up, sticking your lips out as much as you can. Tense up the neck muscles as you do this. For variation, slant mouth towards alternate sides.
- Place three fingers on cheeks. Then smile as widely as possible to raise the cheek muscles while pressing down with fingers lightly.
Around the neck. Hold for a count of three and repeat five times.
- Stare straight ahead and close the mouth. Tense muscles below the mouth and around the neck. For variation, look towards the ceiling instead.
- Stare straight ahead and pull your lower jaw slightly forward to stretch your neck muscles.
- Place three fingers along the jawline. Make a frown while pushing up with your fingers.
As with everything else, moderation is the key. Overworking the face with too many repetitions may result in a taut, tired look, rather than a smooth, youthful glow.

It doesn't matter if you're sending your little one off for the first day of kindergarten or senior year of high school, Back to School season can be stressful for anyone.
New classes. New people. New tests. New jeans, socks, glue sticks, highlighters, backpacks, books, red pens, sneakers…SO. MANY. SUPPLIES.
But take a deep a breath, you've got this.
Even if you waited until August to get moving, there's still plenty of time to get prepared for the year ahead. Here are some tips to get you on the right track.
Check your inventory
The garage. The basement. The junk drawer. Raid it all. You'll be surprised to see how many pens, pencils, perfectly good folders and half used notebooks are hiding around the house. Hit up the office, too. You've probably got some unused supplies in that bottom drawer you never open.
Tax-free is the way to be
Don't forget to take advantage of tax-free shopping days. Depending on where you live, you can grab clothes, school supplies and even a new laptop – all tax-free. Here's a state-by-state breakdown of sales tax holidays.
Plan ahead
Set your budget. Before you even start shopping, create a list of all the things you need. Only include what you truly, 100% can't do without. Estimate the cost of each item, add it all up and that's your golden number. Then, work that number into your overall household budget. (Here's an online budget calculator that can help.) The ultimate back-to-school win? Staying under budget.
Develop routines. If you know the cafeteria serves can't-miss pizza on Fridays, make that part of the weekly plan. Then try to make homemade lunches Monday through Thursday so lunch-money spending doesn't get out of hand. It's all about balance. And pepperoni.
Start saving up. Set aside a few bucks from each paycheck for an ongoing "school activities" fund. That way you don't have to sweat it when other expenses start popping up throughout the year, like that $30 field trip to the aquarium or a snazzy new tie for the homecoming dance.
Have fun and get it done. Try to look at the back-to-school season as a new challenge, not as some impossible task. (Because it's not one!)
Use sites like The Krazy Coupon Lady to score the best deals. Get crafty and create a few DIY school supplies. Get your kids involved — a few quick lessons on budgeting/smart-shopping can go a long way.
Summer's not quite over yet but the clock is ticking. Make some great decisions now, and you'll set the tone for an entire school year of awesomeness. Good luck out there!

A MAN who adopted Pontypridd as his home has written a frank and gritty love story about the town, based on his own experiences.
Clive Pearce fell in love with Pontypridd as a 20-year-old and spent 20 years living in the town, drinking at the Llanover Arms and watching games at Sardis Road.
The 45-year-old writer adopted Ponty as his home and has now written a book based in the town.
The former factory worker believes that anyone with an affiliation with Ponty will be able to relate to the story's characters and the landmarks featured.
A Welsh Love Story is about a reclusive, unkempt Church Village factory worker called Dai Watkins who meets a woman.
"I think Pontypridd people will get the humour. It's a bit like a Ponty version of Twin Towns, without the drugs.
"It's Welsh humour, we can laugh at ourselves and don't take ourselves too seriously.
"There's a real charm about Pontypridd, an innocent charm.
"I absolutely love the place. The book is based on my own experiences of Pontypridd.
"I'm an adopted Ponty lad and spent many a night at the House of Pain."
Clive has worked in various local authorities' children services across South Wales.
He was at university in Cardiff studying the Social Work Diploma when, at the end of his second year, he discovered he was dyslexic.
The writer says the condition hasn't put him off writing, but he needs a good proofreader.
He said: "Dyslexia hindered my work but being part of RCT local authority I was able to continue with limited impact
"With story and poetry writing I rely heavily on a good proof reader so it hasn't been an easy journey."
A Welsh Love Story is due to be launched at the Llanover Arms on Thursday, May 17. The book will be available to download for Kindle on Amazon.

Henrietta opened District 8-2A volleyball play Friday afternoon by trouncing City View with a quick three-set match, even holding the Lady Mustangs to single-digit scoring.
The Lady Cats opened with a 25-7 finish in game one, followed by wins of 25-11 and 25-12 in games two and three, respectively.
Addison Wade led the Lady Cat attack up front, scoring eight kills, but it would be Joyana Zamzow who put the most points on the board. Zamzow scored six kills and seven aces, while Anni Scholl finished with six kills and three aces. Taylor Bennett scored three kills and four aces. Sierra Burkhart added four kills. Annelise Sauer and Kailey Kirk scored two each from the service line.
At setter, Katie Halsell had 16 assists, while Kirk donated eight assists.
City View's weak offensive effort didn't do much for Henrietta's defensive stats.
Taylor Burch Cassie Pickett picked up four digs each, and Sauer had three digs.
Henrietta's JV Lady Cats defeated City View in two sets, 25-8, 25-15.
The Lady Cats continue district play in Jacksboro on Tuesday, Sept. 25. JV games begin at 4:30 p.m. Henrietta hosts Holliday on Saturday, Sept. 29, at 10 a.m.

"Music is like a dream. One that I cannot hear." ― Ludwig van Beethoven
Oh, the agony I would be in if I was a musical genius with a deteriorating sense of hearing and knowing that there's nothing I can do about it. Even after losing his hearing entirely, Beethoven continued composing music, which went on to become some of his most admired works today. Now, while I'm almost certain that I'm tone deaf, I do enjoy the occasional pop or R&B, sometimes even the oldies. I've always related to music through the words of a song or its music video, not really through the melody itself, maybe because I've never played or learned any musical instruments.
The Monash Chamber Orchestra (MCO) unlocked a World of Wonders for me last Friday night. MCO is a relatively new musical ensemble (est. 2016) in Monash and their concert successfully filled up the entirety of the Audi 1. It was a change of settings from the old outdoor, informal events held in Monash. The night started off with a short introductory video of the concert's theme, 'Unlock: World of Wonders'. It was a four minute clip of a girl waking up one morning to clues on her study table leading her to a locked door, which led her to another girl who handed her a violin set (which I'm guessing is a metaphor for unlocking the world of wonders).
They had a few sets lined up for the night, including the classic Beethoven's Symphony No. 5, The Four Seasons: Summer and a few pieces from movies like "Alice in the Wonderland", "Lord of The Rings", "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" and many more. My personal favourite was the Forrest Gump Suite piece because it was played a little differently from movie. If you didn't know, the Forrest Gump Suite is the combination of the song played in the beginning and the end titles of the movie. The movie used a piano version of the song, but MCO played a distinct flute version, which really brought out the sweet, gentle and almost sad adaptation of the piece. I absolutely loved it. It's funny because that was the set that I was looking forward to the least compared to the rest, and it was surprisingly breathtaking.
It's weird trying to describe the concert to you because how do you even explain music in words? At first, all eyes on the conductor once he stepped in. Once the musicians started playing, you'd shift focus from one person to another. Then, they all eventually blend into one and you'll feel like you're in a movie scene, depending on the tone of the music. The synchronisation and perfect timing of the musicians really give you a sort of majestic feeling whilst listening to it. It is definitely something you have to go experience for yourself, even without traveling far as you can catch MCO the next time they're playing. If you're lucky enough, you might witness their performance on a campus event, or just sign up for their next concert. Tickets sell fast, so be fast or… be last.

A Bayesian assessment of the PCB temporal trends in Lake Erie fish communities
Document Type

Publication Title
Journal of Great Lakes Research
First Page

The temporal trends of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in Lake Erie fish were evaluated using 30. years of fish contaminant data (1977-2007). The first step of our statistical analysis was based on simple exponential decay models parameterized with Bayesian inference techniques to assess the declining rates in four intensively sampled fish species, i.e., walleye (Stizostedion vitreum), coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and white bass (Morone chrysops). Because the exponential model postulates monotonic decrease of the PCB levels, we included first- or second-order random error terms in our statistical formulations to accommodate non-monotonic patterns in the dataset studied. Generally, our results suggest that the PCBs have been decreasing over the last 30. years with relatively weak rates that vary among the different fish species examined. Yet, our analysis with the exponential decay model also identified an increasing trend in the PCB concentrations of walleye skinless-boneless filet data, which is manifested after the mid-90s. In the second step, we used dynamic linear modeling (DLM) analysis to account for the fact that the fish length covaries with the PCB concentrations and that different sized fish may have been sampled over time. Our DLM analysis suggests that the previously reported trend of the walleye filet data is actually an artifact associated with the bias of the fish sampling practices followed. The coho salmon and rainbow trout PCB concentrations have been decreasing steadily during the study period but the associated rates were relatively weak. Finally, the PCB trends in white bass appear to have been stabilized over that last decade, although the robustness of this result remains to be confirmed due to the temporal inconsistencies of the information used. We conclude by emphasizing the importance of explicitly accounting for the different covariates (e.g., length, age, lipid content) that can potentially hamper the detection of the actual temporal trends of fish contaminants. © 2011 International Association for Great Lakes Research.

"Synchronistic events are the clues that point to the existence of an underlying connecting priciple." Jean Shinoda Bolen
Venus is in Gemini now- a sign ruled by Mercury. Mercury in astrology governs the realms of thought, speech and communication. In mythology Mercury would don costumes and disguises and could gain access to realms the other gods could not. He could forge agreements through his agile use of language. He was a trickster of sorts and because of the sign's association with duality – he is associated with synchronicity – the co-incidence of two seemingly unrelated events.
As an example of this, I was recently writing a letter to the editor about levels of Mercury in the water supply. This required some research on my part – research which had both legal and scientific aspects to it. I decided to take a break from it and think about it while driving over the mountain to the natural foods market.
Once there I picked up what needed and when I approached the woman behind the counter to ring up my purchase she said to me,"Do you write about Mercury?"
I was kind of stunned and speechless for a moment – thinking how could she have possibly known about that? And then I said,"Oh you are talking about astrology- right?"
And she said yes- that she had read one of my recent posts about the planet Mercury and that it had helped her in her thinking and that she had taken it to a group she is a member of and shared it.
Moments of synchronicity can restore a sense of the magic and mystery of life. With Venus in Gemini now it is wise to consider things related to love, beauty, abundance and pleasure in your life from a variety perspectives – like light through a prism.
One of the Sabian symbols for Venus's entrance into Gemini is,"A glass bottomed boat reveals undersea wonders."
