Hey singers!
Today's episode talking about how to get that chesty sound in the head voice. Even if you're not there yet, remember to use your upper range as often as you can. This will build up that part of your range, so that you won't feel the need to push or strain in your chest voice. Eventually you'll develop a mixed voice (passagio) that will be strong and healthy. But it's gonna take practice and exercise (warmups), just like learning anything else. Sara is planning on doing many more episodes with attention to building up the mixed voice range, as this is a problem for EVERY singer!

The Maryland political establishment– by far the zaniest left-wingers in state and local politics in America — is in a state of hyperventilation and panic over a new television ad by Governor Rick Perry of Texas. Tired of every last dime being wrung out of your business by Maryland taxes?, asks the governor, "then think about Texas." It's always a good thing for society, but bad for our rulers, when at least one of them decides it's a good idea to compete by lowering taxes. (Maryland state government is so tax crazed that it recently imposed a "rain tax" based on the size of the roof on one's business establishment under the crackpot theory that rain running off your roof will pollute the Chesapeake Bay. The bigger the roof, the higher the tax).
In its usual carnival of stupidity, the Baltimore Sun editorial board immediately responded with an editorial hilariously accusing Texas of having only "low paying jobs with no benefits." Sounds like your typical Baltimore Sun employment package for all those freelance reporters.
UPDATE: Cory A. writes that he moved to Austin, Texas last year to take a great new job with Paypal/Ebay which he says is "expanding dramatically." As is a new Apple facility in Austin, along with Visa, with 800 new jobs. These are all well-paying jobs, he says. In addition, Austin has become "the" place to go if you want a career in the music industry. Such people "don't go to Baltimore," he says.10:20 am on September 12, 2013 Email Thomas DiLorenzo

File Sharing
Clarkstown Central School District has gone public with its use of a service that allows students, teachers, and administrators to save files in a personal area online and share them with others on the Web. The district, based in New York, is using School Web Lockers, a product of Networld Solutions. The service is part of a district technology program that includes other Web-based services, including Google Apps, WordPress blogging software, and SchoolDude for facility and technology requests.
"With such a variety of technology at their fingertips, [Clarkstown] students take pride in being digitally prolific. Yet, at the same time, we see technology as a means for increasing student learning and engagement, not as something that causes distractions or disrupts our district's goals," said John Krouskoff, CCSD's director of instructional technology.
Krouskoff recommended the use of School Web Lockers to address a need for students to be able to access and share files between home and school without using their own private e-mail accounts, an option that brought with it potential distractions of personal e-mail and non-school related data.
Teachers are allowed to share up to 1 GB of data; students are limited to 100 MB of space. Neither group can store programs, games, or executable files. HTML documents can be stored but won't run, according to guidelines posted on the school's Web site.
The storage service, offered in all schools in the district, is made available to students starting in fourth grade, and they're able to use the system through high school graduation. Each school or school district has its own password-protected Web site. Users are given access to their own digital drop box, or Web locker, which is available via password from the Web site. From there, each teacher gains access to student lockers, by class, to allow for distribution and collection of documents.
Krouskoff pointed to the advantages of digital document shuffling, which reduces paper consumption within the district. In a statement he said that from September to January, teachers uploaded 91,000 documents. During that same period, student usage on the system averaged 13,000 logins and 21,220 files moved per month. "We're pleased that so many students are uploading and downloading their documents, and that teachers are also returning grades using the School Web Lockers solution. It definitely makes a difference in our paper usage," said Krouskoff.

Toasty Toasts: NYC Bars with Fireplaces

Kennedy's Bar & Restaurant
327 W. 57th St., 212-759-4242, Midtown West, Manhattan
After a cold-weather jaunt through Central Park, retreat to this Midtown favorite, where traditional Irish dishes like shepherd's pie and lamb stew (sometimes offered as a special) can be paired with equally traditional pours. The bar is adorned with shamrock lights, Irish flags and Guinness memorabilia, leaving no question of this taproom's allegiance. Sit by the brick fireplace while sipping a crème de menthe, Bailey's coffee or one of nine whiskeys and single malts, leaving the chilly air far behind.

Most of the Pirates are philosophical about the changes, and Phil Bender, the group's representative on Earth, is grateful for all that Romeo and Weimer have done for the co-op over the years. Others, however, have gotten hot under the collar: Jason Appleton had an intense argument with Weimer, and things got so heated between them that Weimer threatened to call the police on Appleton -- who, by the way, is an imposing 6' 4". The situation quickly defused when Appleton stormed off. Things have calmed down now, and Appleton laughed the whole thing off when he told me about it.
Appleton was understandably upset, because his show, Jason Appleton: Paintings and Ceramics, is one of those being inconvenienced by the construction. The exhibit is made up of an installation of paintings on vertical planks that surround three sides of the room. The paintings are slap-dash abstracts, mostly based on the female nude. On bases filling the middle of the room are dozens and dozens of decorated ceramics, which are the show's real attraction. Using enamel glazes, Appleton paints greenware with retro modernist decorations that bring to mind high-end '50s ceramics from Europe. In some, Appleton uses what he calls a "language" of abstract forms that he developed himself, as shown off in "Species #3," a handsome square charger (left).
Appleton will host a closing reception on Friday, August 12, from 7 to 10 p.m. His show comes down a couple of days later, on Sunday, August 14.

Topic Outline
Disorders of platelet function include several rare congenital disorders [1], as well as a myriad of common acquired conditions (eg, aspirin use, effects of other drugs, liver disease, uremia). The consultant Hematologist is often asked to evaluate patients with a bleeding disorder with clinical characteristics suggesting the presence of a qualitative and/or quantitative platelet disorder (eg, mucocutaneous bleeding and petechiae) (table 1).
This review will briefly summarize normal platelet function as well as available tests of platelet function. The major emphasis will be on the etiology, clinical evaluation, and available therapeutic options in patients with disorders of platelet function. General approaches to the patient with thrombocytopenia, thrombocytosis, or a bleeding disorder are discussed separately. (See "Approach to the adult with unexplained thrombocytopenia" and "Approach to the patient with thrombocytosis" and "Approach to the adult patient with a bleeding diathesis" and "Preoperative assessment of hemostasis".)
A review of normal platelet function is required in order to understand functional platelet disorders, especially with the increasing number of therapeutic agents available that specifically target various stages of platelet function. There are four sequential steps that describe this function (figure 1). (See "Overview of hemostasis", section on 'Formation of the platelet plug' and "Overview of hemostasis", section on 'Clotting cascade and propagation of the clot' and "Platelet biology".)
Platelet adherence — Platelet-mediated hemostasis is initiated by exposure of the vascular subendothelium following injury to the endothelial surface. Circulating platelets are recruited to the site of injury and bind to exposed components of the subendothelium, including collagen, fibronectin, von Willebrand factor (VWF), fibrinogen, and thrombospondin via glycoprotein (GP) receptors on the platelet surface including GPIb/IX, GPIa/IIa, and integrin αIIbβ3 (integrin alphaIIbbeta3; previously known as GPIIb/IIIa) (figure 2) [2-4].
Platelet activation — Receptor-ligand binding leads to platelet activation, mediated through calcium-dependent cytoskeletal changes in the platelet. This outside-in signaling is followed by the release of substances from two sources. (See "Megakaryocyte biology and the production of platelets", section on 'Specific platelet granules'.)

Celebrate Columbus Day
Monday, October 10, 2011 is Columbus Day. A federal holiday since 1937—and celebrated since the 18th century—Columbus Day commemorates the landing of Christopher Columbus in the New World in 1492. The Italian explorer set off on his voyage two months prior, supported by the Spanish monarchs King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. Intending to go to China, India, and other parts of Asia, Columbus actually landed in the Bahamas and thus became the first European to explore the Americas since the Vikings colonized the northern territories of Greenland and Newfoundland.
Believing Cuba to be China, Columbus established the first Spanish colony in the Americas and returned to Spain bearing gold, spices, and other local products. Before his death in 1506, Columbus returned to the area several more times, but it was not until his third voyage that he realized he had discovered a continent previously unknown to Europeans—and not in fact, Asia.
Columbus Day is an excellent opportunity to learn about influential figures during this Age of Discovery and to discuss popular beliefs held by people at that time, such as the notion that Europeans did not know the Pacific Ocean existed. Browse the selections below for recent books about Christopher Columbus and this period in time.

Contributor: Emily Griffin
Colin Hynson
The familiar rhyme says that "In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue" but in reality the story is far more complicated. The Italian Christopher Columbus made four voyages to the New World, served as a rather incompetent colonial governor, and was arrested by the Spanish government. Beyond these issues, Columbus was but one of a number of Renaissance explorers who came to the New World hoping to find a pathway to riches. Sadly, in most cases those voyages of exploration resulted in death to the fortune hunters and devastation to the native peoples whom they "discovered." In this volume of the illustrated "The History of Exploration" series, youngsters will encounter not only Columbus but also several other explorers of that Age of Discovery. In each case the author of this informative book provides a brief contextual highlight and enriches that content with bits and pieces of related information and fascinating detail. In the end, readers come away with an intriguing knowledge base and revealing historical anecdotes that amplify their understanding of both Columbus and the age in which he lived. 2010, Black Rabbit Books, $32.80. Ages 11 up. Reviewer: Greg M. Romaneck (Children's Literature).
Columbus Day
Molly Aloian
Part of a series "Celebrations in My World" of books that explain celebrations around the world, this book explores Columbus Day. After introducing Columbus Day, Aloian goes back to the source of the holiday: the birth and life of Christopher Columbus. After explaining where he came from and how he came to be an explorer, the author describes his most famous journey, including the names of his ships and his treatment of the native peoples that he encountered. From there, the text addresses the different ways the holiday is celebrated. The book uses large print and both photography and art to convey its message. There is a depiction of Columbus landing in America. The photographs show the modern celebrations of the day. While the celebration of Columbus Day by eating pizza, seems a little farfetched, the book does redeem itself by presenting celebrations in Central America. This variety may offer readers some new and interesting information about the celebration of Columbus Day. Also interesting are the "Did You Know?" facts along the bottom of the pages. These cannot be melded into the "story" within the book, but are still interesting related facts. Aloian's book is a good introduction to a major historical event, and s such it can serve to challenge readers to undertake research and learn more. Also included are a table of contents, a glossary, and an index. 2010, Crabtree Publishing, $26.60 and $8.95. Ages 7 to 10. Reviewer: Melissa Rife (Children's Literature).
Columbus Reaches the New World
Valerie Bodden
School children learn very early about the brave explorer, Christopher Columbus, who sailed across the ocean to the land that became "the Americas." However, as those same students grow older and learn more about these events, it becomes clear that many of the people Columbus sought to discover did not feel that they needed to be discovered. When the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria arrived, they brought trinkets to trade with the natives; but they also brought unfamiliar diseases which decimated the native populations within the first few years following the landing. History teaches that each event in our lives can be viewed from various perspectives and that we should be open to the views of others. The islanders that Columbusmet that October morning had much to gain and much to lose as a result of this encounter. Bodden gives the reader all of the typical facts of Columbus' adventure on the open sea, his bargaining with the Queen, his temptations to turn back, and so forth. She also gives the reader insight into the natives who accepted Columbus and his men into their land and became their friends and partners in exploration. Photographs and maps create a visual impression of these events even though this was a time before photography. An index and bibliography add to the research value of this title. This is one of twelve titles in the series "Days of Change" that focus on events that changed the world. Some of the other events are the Holocaust, the Cold War, the bombing of Hiroshima and man's first walk on the moon. These are very worthwhile titles for research in the middle school library. 2010, The Creative Company, $22.95. Ages 10 to 14. Reviewer: Joyce Rice (Children's Literature).
Into the Unknown: How Great Explorers Found Their Way by Land, Sea, and Air
Stewart Ross
Illustrated by Stephen Biesty
Into the Unknown provides a detailed overview of well know, and some lesser known, explorers and their journeys in ships, rockets, balloons and submarines. The title has fourteen in-depth narrative chapters with cross sections of the vehicles used to accomplish the quests. The explorations are arranged chronologically and include explorers from many cultures and journeys to different continents. It begins with the remarkable adventures of ancient explorers Pytheas and Leif Eriksson, and then looks at the fascinating exploits of medieval explorers like Marco Polo, Christopher Columbus and Magellan. A dramatic account of bold polar explorers, mountaineers, and astronauts provides more current ventures. Ross includes information about the lives and careers of the explorers, a brief history of the time period, how their discoveries impacted the way people viewed the world, and the daunting dangers they faced. He chronicles the motivations of each exploration (fame, research or riches) and the success or failure of the journey. Stephen Biesty creates the vivid intricate cross-sections that explain how things were built, how the mechanics worked, the supplies and equipment transported, and how the crews lived. This title will make an outstanding addition to collections of world history and will draw visual learners. It could be used for writing a report, and the attractive illustrations and interesting details will also attract a browser. Readers who enjoy the Eyewitness series by Dorling Kindersley will appreciate this book. A bibliography, index and glossary are included. This title is appropriate for middle, high school and public libraries. VOYA CODES: 4Q 3P M J (Better than most, marred only by occasional lapses; Will appeal with pushing; Middle School, defined as grades 6 to 8; Junior High, defined as grades 7 to 9). 2011, Candlewick Press, 96p.; Biblio. Glossary. Index., $19.99. Ages 11 to 15. Reviewer: Eileen Kuhl (VOYA, August 2011 (Vol. 34, No. 3)).
North America
Shirley Greenway
Did you know that Christopher Columbus was six feet tall and that Daniel Boone was 5'8"? Did you also know that the brother and eldest son of Columbus accompanied his exploration? Such are the interesting facts in this informative, pictorially vivid, and sometimes quirky book about exploration. Exploration of North America introduces the influential explorers of both new lands and new technologies. The arrangement is chronological. It begins with the first people who crossed into Alaska and concludes with Kit Carson. A timeline is interspersed with the mini-chapters. There is a "Did you know?" section of other interesting facts. The robust illustrations and photos are just as enlightening as the text. There are quite a few rich and artful renderings. There are several features that make this book slightly distinctive, one of which is occasional quirkiness. One example is the author referring to the Louisiana Purchase as "one of the smartest property deals in history." Another example is the section "Codfish Ahoy!" which discusses rich fishing grounds discovered by John Cabot. Sometimes explorer traits are revealed, such as the flamboyance of Raleigh or the toughness of Carson. Greenway sometimes presents a useful larger context, such as when she describes exploration shifting from a sometimes haphazard endeavor to business opportunity. The layout of the book might best be described as resembling some of the Dorling Kindersley books, but perhaps more organized. One drawback this reviewer noted was that no sources were cited, unless one considers the children's sources and websites listed in the suggested readings. The book also touts the author as an expert, but declines to provide credentials or even a biography. Exploration of North America is nonetheless an interesting, organized, colorful, and useful read. Includes glossary, suggested reading, and index. This book is part of the series "The History of Exploration." 2010, New Forest Press, $32.80. Ages 11 to 14. Reviewer: David Adams (Children's Literature).
Spanish Missions
John Perritano
This book provides a history of the Spanish missions in the United States, beginning with Christopher Columbus's landing in North America. It gives an overview of the Spanish exploration of the American Southwest, how they established missions along the way, and information about the missions today. The illustrations and photographs of the missions are beautiful. The print is a great size for reading aloud or for independent student reading. Particularly difficult words have their pronunciations in parenthesis immediately following the word. Everything in this book stands out. (True Book.). Nonfiction, Highly Recommended. Grades 4. 2010, Children's Press, 48p., $26.00. Ages 9 to 10. Reviewer: Kathy Brockman (The Lorgnette - Heart of Texas Reviews (Vol. 23, No. 1)).
Prisoner of the Inquisition
Theresa Breslin
This book is outstanding. At once I couldn't put it down but could hardly continue and I'm sure I'll remember it forever. Most humbling of all is the fact that the fifteenth century Spanish Inquisition really did exist and such happenings really did happen. Theresa Breslin seems to bear the pain and humility of this coupled with tremendous respect for historical fact and accuracy and creates a truly remarkable work. Zarita and Saulo meet as teenagers one fateful day in the Spanish port of Las Conchas in 1490 and their lives are inextricably linked thereafter yet also forced apart. He is banished to life at sea as a slave but also amasses great navigational knowledge and learns first hand the problems facing Christopher Columbus to secure backing for his famous voyage of discovery. There is superb detail about the maps of the era and first ever globe. Simultaneously, Zarita is banished to a life of loneliness and confusion as her father remarries and the Inquisition oppresses the lives of everyone around. Then, as Saulo is free to seek revenge, Zarita is captured and it's only to wonder that the human race can show such courage and ever heal from such horror. Category: More Mature Young Adult Themes. Doubleday, , D12.99. Reviewer: Gill Roberts (Carousel 46, November 2010).
Who Really Discovered America?
Kristine Carlson Asselin
Every school child knows that Columbus discovered America. What many children do not learn until years later is that Vikings were exploring the North American continent four hundred years before Columbus set sail on his famous voyage. What many more people do not realize is that it was impossible for Columbus or the Vikings to "discover" America because there were millions of people already living in North and South America. Asselin presents the journeys all three groups took to reach the New World as an historic race. While the three groups are divided by thousands of years, the reasons behind their journey and the difficulties they faced are strikingly similar. Filled with images of each group of explorers and race facts offering additional information about each group, the brief text provides a basic overview of Columbus, the Vikings who explored America, and the first group of people to travel to America during the last ice age. This text is part of the "Fact Finders. Race for History" series. 2011, Capstone Press, $25.99. Ages 9 to 12. Reviewer: Danielle Williams (Children's Literature).

2-28-06 - A coach and teacher in the Milburn school district was arrested Sunday morning for DUI. Tishomingo police arrested 32-year-old Bret Dean Converse for driving under the influence and transporting open containers.
Police say Converse was speeding down Main Street just after midnight. They found two empty beer cans inside the vehicle. Converse used a Breathalyzer that officers say registered at .10 – two-tenths of a point above the legal limit. Upon his arrest, he requested to take a blood test.
On Tuesday, he agreed to deferred prosecution. That means his license will be suspended for 180 days, he'll attend a victims impact panel and take a test to determine whether he has an alcohol abuse problem.
For the last year, Converse has been a social studies and physical education teacher for Milburn High School. He also coaches the middle school and high school basketball teams.
He was back on the job this week.

Hey Ladies,
My name is Ada, and I am thrilled to be a Booty Camp Fitness instructor, your Brampton instructor. I am a certified Fitness Instructor, a Personal Fitness and Nutrition & Wellness Specialist with Can-Fit-Pro.
I am here to motivate you and help you reach your fitness goals and to make this a wonderful experience at Booty Camp Fitness. I want for you what you want for yourselves!
Active living and fitness has been my passion since I was a teenager. We are meant to be in motion. The more we move, the better our bodies work and the more we stay healthy and fit, the better we will feel about ourselves!...the body is a wonderful machine.
Allow me to share with you my personal fitness success story. When I was 19, I injured my left shoulder playing tennis and was not able to lift my arm for about a year. After visits to the doctor, going to physiotherapy and acupuncture and even a shot of cortisone (ouch!), I decided to try the power of strength training. Once I began incorporating resistance training into my work-out routines, I couldn't believe the speed of recovery until the pain was gone. Since then, I strongly believe in the power of the body to heal itself and all the great benefits of staying fit.
With a husband and three children and working full time for a major brewing company, I know how hard it is sometimes to reach your ideal weight and stay in shape with all of our life commitments/responsibilities....but it's certainly not impossible!
My motto in life is "Everything NEW is difficult before it becomes easy."
Outside of Booty Camp Fitness, my other passion is ice hockey which I have played for the last 12 years, summer and winter. To this day, I still get butterflies in my stomach, and that�s not because of nervousness but excitement and anticipation to sweat it out and have an awesome cardio workout while playing the game I love so much!!
In my spare time, I dedicate time to my children whether it be just chilling at home and playing with them or taking them to public swimming, tobogganing, playing soccer, dancing, etc. This year, I am giving back to the community by being a volunteer driver for a cancer patient resource centre in Brampton.
Cheers to the fabulous females at Booty Camp Fitness.
I'm much more than just an 'employee'. I own the Brampton Boot Camp Licensed Location (similar to a franchise). As the owner of my "Licensed Location" I share in the responsibility of creating a valuable experience for you and all my recruits, and am 100% compensated via profit sharing.
Give yourself the gift of having a Brampton personal trainer today, by joining MY Brampton Boot Camp and receive group Brampton personal training at a fraction of the cost. I'm 100% committed to my Licensed Location being fun, you getting super fit, and you meeting some other fabulous women!

We consider the orthogonal multiple relay channel at the lowSNR regime.The source transmits to the destination and all thepossible relays in one channel and the relays transmit in differentand orthogonal channels making use of the transmission receivedfrom the source. This cooperative strategy achieves diversity gainsat a high cost in bandwidth efficiency, due to the orthogonality ofthe transmissions. However, it has the desired benefit of allowingall the nodes in the network to behave as in a point to pointchannel. Based on the max-flow min-cut upper bound for relaynetworks, we explore the capacity limits of this kind of communication,obtaining an upper bound on the capacity when full channelstate information (CSI) is available at every network node. Thisfocus gives insight on the design of the transmitting strategy anddefine how feedback from relays and destination can be performedpractically and optimally, giving ideas for higher layer protocols.

Contact your state Representatives TODAY and urge opposition to these attacks on your Second Amendment rights!
Two bills assaulting your Second Amendment rights have been filed in Springfield this week. Introduced today by state Representative Kelly Cassidy (D-14), House Bill 5167 seeks to impose a punitive tax on firearm ammunition purchases. House Bill 5831, sponsored by Representative William Davis (D-30), would force law-abiding handgun owners to comply with Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's (D) proposed statewide handgun registry scheme.
HB 5167 would impose a 2% surcharge on firearm ammunition purchases by law-abiding firearm owners in Illinois. This bill would create the High Crime Trauma Center Grant Fund and requires the 2% surcharge to be deposited into this Fund. Subject to appropriation, HB 5167 authorizes the Department of Public Health to make grants to trauma centers in high crime areas. HB 5167 has been sent to the House Executive Committee and awaits a hearing. Your NRA-ILA will continue to update you on the status of this bill. It is important that you contact House committee members TODAY and urge them to oppose this attack on gun owners! House Executive Committee contact information can be found here.
As previously reported, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel proposed a scheme for statewide handgun registry in Illinois. HB 5831 would, if enacted, make this blatant attack on firearm ownership a reality. This bill amends the Firearm Owners Identification Act to include registration of all handguns with a tax of $65 to be paid on each handgun for initial registration and a $25 tax for renewal every five years. This bill would prohibit any person in Illinois from carrying or possessing a handgun without a certificate of handgun registration, and make the transport or possession of a handgun without this registration a Class 2 felony. Additionally, HB 5631 penalizes law-abiding firearms owners further by making it a Class A misdemeanor for the failure to report to local law enforcement that a registered handgun is lost, stolen, missing, or destroyed. This bill has been assigned to the House Rules Committee, and could be scheduled for a hearing at any time. Contact House committee members TODAY and demand they oppose HB 5631 and any gun registration scheme! House Rules Committee member contact information can be found by clicking here.
In addition, please continue to voice your objections to House Bills 1294, 1599 and 1855, which the NRA previously reported on here. These anti-gun bills could be considered at any time.

What do you get when you combine yarn, post it notes and my living room wall? A sale cycle! This video will introduce you to the sale cycle most items at your grocery store go through. This is the key reason why you only need to stockpile 3 months worth of a specific item. Keep it simple!
Can't see the video? Head over here!
Here are the charts I created when studying the price changes in Lay's potato chips and Cheerios. As you can see within 14 weeks, you'll have a few chances to get these items at a ROCK BOTTOM price. Purchase the items at that rock bottom price and match it with a coupon to add to your stockpile.
When making these charts it was interesting to lay the prices of the Lay's Potato Chips & Cheerios on top of each other to see that the store had a sale cycle. You can see below that within the 14 weeks there were quite a few times that Kroger was the place to be!
Disclaimer: I do not sit around and chart food sale cycles. This is purely for your benefit. All you need to do, is learn the rock bottom prices for those items your family routinely buys to add to your stockpile. No charting and excel spread sheets needed.

Oh dear me this is handy. As someone that spends as much time living out of a suitcase as I do actually living out of my bedroom, the amount of makeup I take with me on my travels is somewhat large. With the summer and mini-break season in full flow, everyone needs to ensure they're being super slight with their hand luggage and leaving plenty of room for airport purchases! This palette from Estee Lauder may be the answer to all our dreams - it contains practically everything you need to take you from airport lounge to beach bar.
The first section you see contains four lip colours and a lip brush, as well as face powder to get rid of the dreaded shiny nose. There's also a double ended lip brush and a mini mascara to ensure your eyelashes are as fluttery as can be. The best bit is to come though, as these sections part to reveal a whole other section, including blush and eyeshadows which are all in multi-tasking colours - you could totally use any of them as an eyeshadow, as well as creating blush/bronzer/highlighter combinations on cheeks.
This is why I love the exclusives created for Duty Free - they really think about what you're going to need if you're going away and provide the perfect solution. Not only is this a fab way of trying new products, but it's also an easy get-out-of-packing card... Just pick everything up at the airport! The quality of this is everything you'd expect from Estee Lauder, giving a fabulous introduction or even working as a great present for someone back home. I now have the perfect excuse to book more flights... Duty Free is calling.
Available now exclusively at airports and on planes! I'm not sure of the exact cost of this as it was a sample, but I'd estimate £25-30
The most handy pallette ever?
3 comments:
I don't doubt the quality is as good as ever but to me, it has a look of one of those super cheap make up kits you used to get from the likes of Argos as a kid.ReplyDelete
I may change my mind after seeing it in person though!
Love love love this xxReplyDelete
Looks like a great palette, i love the blush colour!xReplyDelete

Avoid the Domino Effect
Take advantage of a new standard to improve alarm management and enhance plant safety and productivity.
Source: Ref. 1.
By Nicholas P. Sands, DuPont, and Todd Stauffer, exida
Feb 03, 2010
Source: Ref. 1.
Process Condition Model
Identification. What is and isn't an alarm? How do you know whether you should alarm an input from the field? ISA-18.2 provides clear guidance. It defines an alarm as "an audible and/or visible means of indicating to the operator an equipment malfunction, process deviation or abnormal condition requiring a response. The italics underscore an important alarm- management principle: if an operator doesn't need to respond, then don't provide an alarm! Pretty simple… Following this cardinal rule will eliminate a large portion of potential alarm-management problems.
Many sources -- e.g., process and instrumentation drawings (P&ID), operating procedure reviews, process hazards analysis (PHA), safety requirement specifications (SRS), hazard and operability studies (Hazops), incident investigations and quality reviews -- can help identify candidate alarms. You also can use alarms to indicate process performance boundaries such as off-target or pre-upset (Figure 1).
What it means. Identification involves determining what might merit an alarm and what should trigger it. Many process control systems allow configuring five or more alarm conditions (high-high, high, low-low, low, rate-of-change…) per input/output (I/O) point; this contributes significantly to alarm overload. Analysis may determine that only one alarm condition (such as "high") is necessary for a temperature input to keep a process safe and under control. Exercise engineering judgment to identify exactly what conditions require alarms and why rather than enabling every alarm condition available in the system.
Rationalization. Here, a cross-functional team from operations, process control, maintenance, safety, etc. analyzes each potential or existing alarm to make sure it meets the definition of an alarm. Does it indicate an abnormal condition? Does it require an operator action? Is it unique or do other alarms indicate the same condition?
Alarms that pass this screening are analyzed further to define their attributes such as alarm priority and alarm limit. Results are documented in a master alarm database that contains information such as:
• basis for the alarm;
• consequence of a deviation;
• expected operator action;
• time for the operator to respond;
• alarm class and priority; and
• alarm type and setpoint (limit).
What it means. The information documented in the master alarm database has value throughout the lifecycle. For example, many plant operations/engineering teams are afraid to eliminate an existing alarm because "it was obviously put there for a reason." With the master alarm database, you can look back years afterward to see why a specific alarm was set up and evaluate whether it should remain. It's also a good practice to make this valuable information accessible to operators — particularly the consequence if they don't correct the problem and how they should respond.

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the East to Jerusalem, saying, "Where is He that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him." When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
— Matthew 2:1—3
The above passage of Scripture will be read countless times to the faithful over the next week as Christians celebrate the ultimate miracle of the coming of God made man, but no doubt the great majority of listeners will not give this passage even a cursory hearing. However, the wisdom contained therein proves salutary for even those not of the Christian faith. The subtext of the passage show how fundamentally radical the very concept of the Christ is and how one of the shrewdest of ancient political minds, Herod, understood this before the person of Jesus had ever uttered a word.
The historian James Henry Breasted (America's first Egyptologist) wrote a useful textbook of ancient history in the early part of the 20th century. Breasted's basic premise is that every culture of the East eventually had a ruler who assumed the mantle of the divine, a man-made-god. With the divine ruler came an oppressive bureaucracy (because the "man-god" king knew best how to run everyone's life) which eventually sabotaged the cultural and economic advantages which the civilization had struggled to gain. The democracy of the Greek city-states was the alternative model (Greek culture's fall eventually coming at the hands of a Macedonian "man-god," Alexander). In Breasted's historical survey, "The East" is synonymous with a culture of absolute despotism, be it Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian or Persian. Only in the West did the idea of the worth of the individual take root.
How disheartening it must have been for Herod, the non-Jewish usurper of the throne at Jerusalem and puppet of the empire of Rome, to learn that men who knew about god-making where not looking for him but an infant. Years of crafty political maneuvers, skillfully applied terror, and an immense pork barrel public works program must have seemed all for naught. Herod, who seemed well on his way to achieving the status of a "man-god" king, had lost out not to a rival politico or foreign power but a child. The fact that it was a child, who had done nothing to achieve notoriety or aggrandize himself with worldly power, is precisely what must have had him "troubled, and all Jerusalem with him." An infant worthy of worship was not one who had won the title of "man-god" but was one who was a God-man, ruling by his very nature.
Such a concept "troubled" not only Herod but the entire establishment of political hangers-on. They realized all too well the consequences of the coming of a God-man — the legitimacy of "divine" kings could no longer even be feigned. Naturally, such an innovation in the minds of men had to be stopped and the slaughter of all male children under the age of two seemed a reasonable enough price to the power-drunk. (A few short decades later Caiaphas gave counsel that it was expedient that one man be executed in what he hoped was a political powerplay.)
For the Christian, the coming of the Christ child had a myriad of eternal spiritual repercussions. Quite simply, all has changed. One of those changes, perhaps incidental in the eyes of believers, is that "man-god" kings are obsolete. Since God has condescended to become a man, it is preposterous (and sinful) for a man to set himself up as a god. It is in the light of this radical change that we are to interpret what it is that belongs to God and what to Caesar.
The Caesars continued down the path of deifying themselves. Breasted notes in his history that by the time of Diocletian, three centuries after the radical message of Christmas had been delivered, the counter-Christmas political program was complete.
The emperor thus became for the whole Roman world what he had been in Egypt — an absolute monarch with none to limit his power. The State had been completely militarized and orientalized. With the unlimited power of the oriental despot the emperor now assumed its outward symbols . . . all who came into his presence must bow down to the dust.
As a divinity, the emperor had now become the oriental Sun-god and he was officially called the "Invincible Sun." His birthday was the twenty-fifth of December . . . The inhabitants of each province might revere their particular gods, undisturbed by the government, but all were obliged as good citizens to join in the official sacrifices to the head of State as a god. With the incoming of this oriental attitude toward the emperor, the long struggle for democracy, which we have traced through so many centuries of the history of early man, ended in the triumph of oriental despotism.
The Church's establishment the feast of the Nativity on December 25th was an outright subversion of Caesar's claims as to who was worthy of worship. (If this truth gets out, you can forget about any more crèche scenes in public.) My prayer for all who all who hold the Christian faith this Christmas season is that they may recover the radical truth that terrified the tyrants of antiquity and that people of all faiths may join to oppose any leader who would make himself a god.

computing and IT across disciplines to promote sustainability in areas and systems in which advances in information and communications technology (ICT) could have significant positive impact.3
The committee believes that some of the most profound fundamentals within the field itself are suggestive of the unique contributions that computer science (CS) and ICTs can make to sustainability. For instance, the very notion of automated "queryable" structured data is at the heart of much of computer science. The scope and scale of the sustainability challenge are coupled with vast amounts of relevant data, which makes deep insights into the challenges of collecting, structuring, and understanding those data essential. Computational thinking is critical to solving almost any large problem. The committee's focus is on problems that are intellectually challenging, grounded in IT and CS, and important for sustainability—that is, a kind of "Pasteur's octant." See Figure 1.1.
Despite the profound technical challenges presented by sustainability and the huge potential role for IT and CS, the committee recognizes that sustainability is not, at its root, a technical problem, nor will merely technical solutions be sufficient. Instead, solutions ultimately will require deep economic, political, and cultural adjustments, as well as major, long-term commitment in each sphere in order to put technical advancements and enablers in operation at scale. Nevertheless, technological advances and enablers can be developed and shaped to support such change, while continuing to support enduring human values in the process. Information technology can serve as a bridge between technical and social solutions
3The community has already begun addressing this challenge. Bill Tomlinson's book Greening Through IT: Information Technology for Environmental Sustainability (Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press, 2010) explores how IT can address sustainability challenges at scale. A 2009 article by Carla Gomes, "Computation Sustainability: Computational Methods for a Sustainable Environment, Economy, and Society" in The Bridge 39(4):5-13, provides examples of computational research being applied to domain fields (biodiversity and renewable energy sources). Gomes's work is an important component of computational sustainability; the present report explores the broader potential for research and innovation in CS and IT to have an impact on sustainability. Additionally, the National Science Foundation's Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering and the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) jointly sponsored a workshop on the Role of Information Sciences and Engineering in Sustainability. The full report of the workshop, Science, Engineering, and Education of Sustainability: The Role of Information Sciences and Engineering, which discusses research directions for IT as it relates to sustainability, is available at http://cra.org/ccc/docs/RISES_Workshop_Final_Report-5-10-2011.pdf. This report is well aligned, in terms of research areas, with the CCC report. Additionally, the committee concurs with the CCC report Section 4, titled "The Power of Use-Inspired (Collaborative) Fundamental Research." The present report expands on this theme in Chapter 3, especially in regard to the strength of computer science as a discipline and what it can contribute to sustainability objectives.

The geometry of Snøhetta's Busan Opera House twists and bends in a way to open the flowing public entrances around the building, while still accommodating the programmatic elements in the building. Just as the trigram dictates, the building lifts to meet the sea and sky, while being solidly fixed to the ground.
The compact nature of the building provides the client with an economic and sustainable solution for the site. The sustainable elements of the project provide for the building to have a sustainable long-term maintenance plan for the building. Snøhetta brings their wealth of knowledge of previously designed public buildings in Oslo, which seemingly represent a modern relationship between the opera, the user, and the public. The typology that they have presented lends itself to expand the inviting and open participation of the building at an entrance level. This helps to present an urban context that is friendly to the general public and encourages social activity.
For more information about the programmatic orientation of the Busan Opera House visit Bustler.net.
