Above the Ravens Club
I Spy April 2013
by Sally Bjork
From the May, 2013 issue
April's "I Spy is above The Ravens Club," writes Dan Romanchik--"the top level of the building at 207 S. Main Street," adds Sarah Schaefer. "At first I thought you were going for the historic name of an apartment building, but that didn't work out," shares Pamela Kittel, who identified the living space above the club.
"I recognized [it] with relative ease," writes A.J. Kydd, "thanks to my cousin ... an avid photographer" who "took a photo of the very same window" while admiring architectural detail during an Art Fair visit last year. Known for jazz evenings, heirloom drinks, and a menu of roasted, braised local ingredients, the Ravens Club--identified simply by the image of the crooked-beaked bird out front--celebrates its second anniversary this month.
Our random-drawing winner from among thirteen entries correctly identifying either the Ravens Club or the building is Cathy Chow, who will take her gift certificate to Found in Kerrytown.
To enter this month's contest, use the photo and clue on the Back Page of the May issue to identify the scene, then follow the instructions at the bottom of the page.

Lest there's any doubt that ingenuity is driving China to a real estate bubble, here's the latest construction innovation to come from the Middle Kingdom: a prefab 30-story hotel built in 360 hours (direct link):
OK, granted — they actually install the thing in 360 hours (over 15 days). Construction per se took longer since 90% of it was done in a factory. Still, if you need room in a hurry (and don't mind the fact that every hotel will look absolutely the same), this is an impressive way to do things. Since the parts are factory-built, you also have less construction waste — good for sustainability.

Once you give us a list of schools and tell us at least a little about yourself, we can then show you what your chances are at each school on your list.
Students are often surprised at the results we show them. But don't worry, if you have filled out most of your profile fields, we are pretty confident in our projections. Our results come from years of acceptance data, the input of college admissions experts, and many detailed test cases. There are no guarantees, but we are giving you the best advice that you can get online, and it is solid enough that you can make big decisions based on our recommendations.
What would improve your chances of admission? We have the answers. You would be surprised to know that some changes - such as getting a job or improving your test scores - will increase your chances of getting into one of your schools but have no impact on another.
That's right: everyone isn't using the same criteria. For instance, more test-prep classes may be a waste of time and money. Experiment with some of our tools to find out what really would make a difference: better grades? More AP classes? More community service? We will help you figure out what to do.

Often, our agile teams are made up of junior and senior people. Some of these people tend to be more domain focused, such as understanding financial services, while others are more engineering focused, with expertise in software architecture and programming languages. While this mix is generally beneficial from a synergistic point of view, it can also create friction during development - friction that requires active management attention and a proactive balancing of the relative quot;skills scales.quot;
Many contend that agile can work only when all team members are senior. If we apply this reasoning to any group, e.g., a practiced sports team or a well-oiled jazz band, we find that this basic tenet holds - a set of senior players is generally more effective than a similar group of less experienced ones.
While this is true in the general case, {sidebar id=1} there are several problems with this line of thinking when it comes to agile software development. First, it's nearly impossible to staff all of your agile teams with experienced people. You simply do not have that many to go around. Solid performers with a track record of success are rare. In any organization, you know who these people are. They are the ones whose names come up again and again when you're trying to solve your toughest problems. Second, this promotes a very short term view of the organization. You need your experienced people to cross-train with your more junior staff, ensuring a deep technical bench. Third, this generalization fails to recognize the two skill vectors that are important to any agile team's success: domain knowledge and technical expertise.
Balancing Essential Skills
Failure to recognize the two skills vectors at once is a common source of problems for many projects, agile or otherwise. Most organizations have a broad range of talent. For our purposes, these people range from being experts in the domain, with little to no technical knowledge, to those who are guru-level developers with only a grim understanding of the domain in which they build software (they use requirements to fill the void). We can illustrate this on a simple matrix, as shown in Figure 1.
Agile teams work best when all of the developers are seasoned engineers who are proficient in the domain. For all practical purposes, however, it's nearly impossible for most teams to realize this mix; therefore, senior technology managers need to adapt and help create effective balance.
In an ideal world, you would build your agile team almost exclusively with people from QI. These people possess both deep domain knowledge and have demonstrated profound technical competency. They are, for the most part, quite senior. If these people work well together, and you have the luxury of building such a team, do it! You are very lucky! Luck notwithstanding, in most cases, you'll build a team using a mix of people from QI, QII and QIV. Avoid putting those from QIII on an agile team; they will more than likely weigh the team down relative to whatever contribution they might make.
In addition to domain and technical knowledge, when assembling your team, make sure to consider each individual's personality, ego emissions, [i] the need to be right, team spirit, sense of humor, empathy, work ethic, and professional integrity. In other words, strive to create a team rich in self-motivation and in emotional intelligence . On an agile team, emotional intelligence is as important as hard abilities.
Once you have assembled the team, your next job is to balance their skills. Given our graph above, we want experienced programmers working with less experienced programmers, and those that possess deep domain knowledge working with those that don't. To realize this mix, the team can employ various techniques including pair programming, peer reviews, formal mentorship, and group education sessions, where an expert in a given area takes some time to educate the rest. While trying to maintain this balance is extremely important, it can lead to some serious inter-team conflicts.
These conflicts arise out of misperceptions,

There will be something old, something new and something far from blue when the Classic Hits Winery Tour comes to Tutukaka next February.
The event features The Exponents, Stan Walker and Breaks Co-op taking to the stage on the country's biggest national tour.
The Winery Tour, now in its eighth year, has 17 shows in 16 outdoor venues from Tutukaka down, for the first time, to Invercargill with the tour kicking off in Hamilton on January 31, followed by a show at Matakana's Ascension Winery on February 1 and the Tutukaka show at the Marina Reserve on February 2.
The Tutukaka show has traditionally been on the Sunday of Waitangi Weekend, but this year will be a week earlier. Co-promoter Campbell Smith is looking forward to next year's Tour and promises concertgoers a unique and unforgettable experience.
"The Winery Tour will visit Northland and the beautiful Marina Reserve for the fifth time in 2014," Smith said.
He said The Exponents' four founding members will be bringing all of their hits along with a special stage show designed specifically for the Winery Tour.
Fresh from a sell-out nationwide tour, which included a Whangarei gig, is Walker who will be bringing his full live stage show to the tour and will be performing all his well-loved hits and songs from his new album Inventing Myself including singles Take It Easy, Bulletproof, Inventing Myself and the brand new Like It's Over.
Completing the three-band line up is Breaks Co-Op, returning to the stage for the first time since their massive hit The Otherside ruled the airwaves and singles chart a few years ago. Featuring the velvet voice of Andy Lovegrove, Breaks Co-Op have a new single Sounds Familiar out this month and will release their first new album in eight years in January.
Tickets from website www.winerytour.co.nz and Ticketmaster 0800 111 999 or www.ticketmaster.co.nz. One child under the age of 12 will be given free admittance when accompanied by one adult ticket holder.

tallytacker Review
Refurb DCG-12BCFR
This grinder works OK for my task which is grinding spices. It has a very strange blade assembly that is free to float around when the bowl is not mounted. The blade is also sits rather high, about 3/8" from the bottom. It does take a little longer to grind spices in this grinder than the old Krups I was using but the SS removable bowl makes it worth it. Be aware that you will have a big mess if grinding to a power if you don't make a simple fix. Just place a rubber band inside the plastic lid, around the perimeter. Place it close enough to the edge so that when you install the lid, the bowl will slide the rubber band into place. This will act like a gasket and seal the gap.

Called Holiday Inn On the Beach Resort in Galveston, Texas to book a room for a reunion in October and was told that all rooms were booked. Went to Expedia.com to try to find a nearby hotel and they found Holiday Inn Seaspray Resort just down the road. I booked it with them. Unknown to me, it was booked through a third party, Travelscape.com.
I got a call from our reunion president and was told that there were rooms at the first hotel. He had the Holiday Inn reservation manager cancel my reservations at the second hotel and make new ones at the first hotel. Note that it is the same chain of hotels.
I called 1-888-205-3315 for Expedia.com and tried to convince them to transfer the request and money to Holiday Inn On the Beach Resort. Now began a 45 minute discussion with various English as a second language operators who had no clue what I was requesting. As it turns out, the money is encumbered and can not be returned or switched to the other hotel. When asked what happens to the money since the reservations have been cancelled by Holiday Inn I was told that it counted as a penalty and they could keep all $535.
Be aware of the reservation conditions as quoted by ESOL operators and never accept an absolute no refund policy. If enough people refuse to accept the policy they will change it. The only written notice I received was by email confirming my reservation along with the notice of no refund which, of course, was after my card was charged.
At this point, I am attempting to get the Holiday Inn reservation manager to renew the reservations at the second hotel, Holiday Inn Seaspray Resort. Wish me luck.

SUMMARY REPORT: THE UNITED AFRICAN CONGRESS, GIVE THEM A HAND FOUNDATION AND THEIR PARTNERS (IAAP – International Association of Applied Psychology; Nusantra Foundation; BLIA – Buddha's Light International Association) OBSERVE "WORLD INTERFAITH HARMONY WEEK" AT THE UNITED NATIONS ON FEBRUARY 4, 2016
The World Interfaith Harmony Week (WIHW) was observed with an Interfaith Forum held in the ECOSOC chamber of the United Nations on Feb 4, 2016, organized for the 4th year in a row by the United African Congress and Give Them a Hand Foundation with their partners Nusantara Foundation, Buddha's Light International Association and the International Association of Applied Psychology. The event was jointly sponsored by three United Nations member states, namely, the Permanent Missions to the United Nations of Ethiopia, Indonesia, and Jamaica.
The theme of our forum this year, BUILDING BRIDGES ACROSS BOUNDARIES was conceived by the organizers to underscore three pillars, namely, the pursuit of interfaith harmony to achieve a lasting peace, and its interconnectedness to the 2030 UN Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals, as well as to the achievement of global health and recovery from emergencies such as the recent Ebola pandemic.
In a world beleaguered by internecine wars, terrorism, poverty, disaffected and troubled youth, alarming global health emergencies, and dangers of climate change, as well as a record number of refugees and internally displaced peoples, the need for collaborative understanding and cooperation in seeking peaceful solutions to common problems has never been greater.
Amidst despair and alienation among the world's poor, some demagogues have emerged to distort the teachings of their religion to achieve their political agenda by pitting one group against the other. We believe peace and harmony can be achieved block by block, with the efforts of neighbors, communities, and societies, by extending a hand of friendship and human solidarity across the divide. Understanding, recognizing, and appreciating the humanity of "the other" is an essential step.
Our plans specifically address many of the goals in the newly adopted UN 2030 Agenda for sustainable development. Namely, with regard to the goal about health and well-being, our goals include to build rural multi-disciplinary health centers in the three Ebola-stricken countries in West Africa, and to specifically address the plight of survivors and orphans in the wake of the Ebola epidemic.
The interconnectedness of the three pillars of our initiatives, namely, (1) the promotion of a lasting interfaith harmony and understanding, (2) the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and (3) continued awareness and assistance in the recovery from the Ebola epidemic, are evident in our own work and efforts of others in the global community. Therefore, the theme of our presentation in this year's observance of WIHW was determined to be "Building Bridges Across Boundaries" referring to bridges across boundaries that transcend geography, politics, economic and social status, race, ethnicity and religion. We must all be concerned about this three-pronged approach as we are all together in this increasingly fragile planet of ours.
Among the many VIPs who spoke at our WIHW event were the Permanent Observer of the African Union Mission to the UN, the Permanent Representatives of the Missions of Benin, Palau and Gambia to the UN, and the Ambassador of São Tomé and Príncipe. The permanent missions of France and Denmark to the UN also sent representatives. Members of various religious organizations, prominent leaders representing NGOs and civil society, and health care professionals, were among more than 500 invited guests who filled the chamber to capacity.
Leaders from the Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Jewish, and Buddhist faiths made presentations, and participated in a panel discussion with audience questions. These include Imam Shamsi Ali, President of the Nusantara Foundation; Rabbi Dr. Alvin Kass, Chief Chaplain of the New York Police Department; Reverend Dionne P. Boisierre, Chaplain of the Church Center of the United Nations; Dr. Uma Mysorekar, President of the Hindu Temple Society of North America; Abbess Venerable Youwang, President of the Buddha's Light International Association; Ceremonial Ritualist Ka'nahsohon Kevin Deer of the Mohawk Nation (Five Nation Iroquois Confederacy); and Rabbi Jill Hausman of the Actors' Temple.
The keynote speaker was H.E. Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations Mr. Thomas Gass.
The moderator of the panel discussion was Mr. Milton Alimadi, publisher of Black Star News.
Mr. Gordon Tapper, Founder and Chairman of Give Them a Hand Foundation, serving as the MC of the first segment of the proceedings, called the proceedings to order at 3:15 PM and invited Dr. Mohammed Nurhussein, National Chairman of the United African Congress to make welcoming remarks on behalf of the organizers.
In his statement, Dr. Nurhussein touched on the worldwide turmoil, the plight of refugees, income disparities, gender equality, climate change, and rights of children. "Love for one another and embracing our diversity is what should define us as human beings and not the carnage we see around us." He concluded his remarks by imploring faith leaders to deploy their moral authority to make the goals of the 2030 agenda for sustainable development attainable, and to mitigate the devastation caused by health emergencies such as the Ebola pandemic through global action and solidarity by way of interfaith action to promote understanding, peace and harmony among communities everywhere.
Statements of the Permanent Representatives of the Sponsoring Missions to the UN
The Chargé d'affaires of the Mission of Jamaica to the UN, H. E. Mr. Curt Davis expressed his country's pleasure in cosponsoring this interfaith forum and reassured the conveners of the support and commitment of the Mission of Jamaica to this worthwhile effort. In keeping with the theme, he pointed out that "peace and harmony were indispensable to achieving the SDGs and faith can be a positive tool for social change."
The Chargé d'affaires of the Permanent Mission of Ethiopia to the UN, H.E. Mr. Dawit Yirga Wodegerima, noted that Ethiopia, as the primary sponsor for the last four years, is committed to supporting this interfaith harmony event. He alluded to his country's diversity in languages, ethnicities and religions and expressed the view that for "a country like Ethiopia, interfaith harmony is not a matter of choice but necessity." He went on to say that The National Interfaith Council established by the government is aimed at promoting and sustaining an environment of mutual understanding, peace and harmony among its diverse population.
The Deputy Permanent Representative of the Permanent Mission of Indonesia to the United Nations, HE. Mr. Muhammad Anshor, expressed the continued support and commitment of the mission of Indonesia as a cosponsor. He underscored in his speech the value of solidarity among peoples of different faiths seeking solutions to common challenges together. He also addressed the three issues expressed in our theme when he said that the connection between the three is "natural and inevitable."
Our keynote speaker, H.E. Mr. Thomas Gass, Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations, delivered an impassioned speech about the UN 2030 Agenda for sustainable development. Addressing the three pillars of our theme, he emphasized their interconnectedness and said, "This declaration of interdependence can and must become a common cause and a rallying point among religions." The audience listened with rapt attention. He continued to say that the 2030 Agenda is a "shared vision of humanity" and that the approach is "transformative and integrative." He was widely applauded.
Opening Statements by the Faith Leaders
The interfaith dialogue began with a statement from Rabbi Alvin Kass, Chief Chaplain of the New York City Police Department (NYPD). In his statement, Rabbi Kass made an analogy of the NYPD as a microcosm of New York City and in the larger context of the United Nations in the diversity of the department comprising people of all cultures, religions and languages. Despite all their differences, he said members of NYPD live and work harmoniously and depend on each other for help. He also exhorted us to work hard as human beings to help one another, citing the teaching of the Jewish religious scholar Solomon Schechter to "leave a little to God," meaning that it is up to us as human beings to do the heavy lifting in working for the common good serving humanity.
Imam Shamsi Ali, the founder and president of Nusantara Foundation and one of the co-sponsors of the program, noted the good news that "religions are coming back to play important role in our public lives"' He also told us to be "humble and to acknowledge that we are not perfect" and that we need to help each other, namely, to "share and care." He alluded to our interconnectedness and added that we have only one choice and that is to work together. He cautioned against blaming one religion for the problems of the world, as the reading of history indicates that none of us is blameless. He went on to say that religions in general are harmonious. What is happening is that religion has been hijacked for one reason only: greed, specifically, greed for power. He said that Islam is a religion of peace, embracing every human being of all backgrounds. It was a message that was well received by the audience.
Dr. Uma Mysorekar in her statement emphasized the need for renouncing force of any kind to resolve conflicts and to use instead the "power of the dialogue." She also made the point that "Making all religions the same is a denial of pluralism and breeds another form of intolerance" and that we need to embrace our diversity. Dr. Mysorekar's comments renouncing "force of any kind" and calling on us to embrace our diversity was on target.
Reverend Dionne Boissiere, Chaplain of the Church Center of the UN spoke of our shared humanity and that we need to respect each other and renounce "othering the other" which is born out of fear of the unknown, the stranger, the other. This was a timely and relevant reminder of our common humanity during these trying times for the millions of refugees around the world seeking safe haven.
The Venerable Youwang of Buddha's Light International Association, also one of the event sponsors, said that "as persons of faith we are gathering here to speak with one voice, one heart and one purpose coming across the globe to communicate across our own borders." She went on to say the "SDGs provide an opportunity for doing what we do, develop a coordinated plan to relieve at least a portion of the suffering in the World."
Rabbi Jill Housman of the Actor's Temple drove home the point that understanding and respecting each other and cooperating with each other for the common good is what her teaching tells her. "Not 'us' or 'them.' but see the 'other' as 'ourselves'" was a potent message of love, inclusiveness and hope for humanity.
Ka'nahasohon Kevin Deer, the ceremonial ritualist from the Mohawk Nation of the Mohawk Longhouse Trail (Iroquois) from Canada, offered a profound message of the Mohawk beliefs when he explained through song, dance and narration about the natural balance of nature that has been disrupted because of greed. "As long as the sun shines, the grass grows and the river flows, the Mother Earth will continue to provide us with all we need and the natural balance will be maintained." His message struck a responsive chord in the audience.
The faith leaders then participated in a panel to answer questions from the audience in a Q&A session. The exchanges were lively, enlightening and respectful of each other. Judging by the enthusiasm and very positive feedback, the interfaith program was a resounding success.
To address the Ebola element of our theme, Dr. Judy Kuriansky, the main United Nations NGO representative of our event partner, the International Association of Applied Psychology, distributed copies of materials and a video she produced about a recent mission to the Ebola-affected country of Sierra Leone, and what is being done to address the psychosocial needs of the people.
Hon. Sidique Wai, president of United African Congress brought the proceedings to a close by thanking all the participants and the audience.
The organizers have always felt that interfaith dialogue is meaningless unless translated into action that would cement the common bond among the various faiths rooted in their shared humanity. One such action was the coming together of all participating faith communities in 2013 soon after the destructive hurricane Sandy struck parts of New York City and New Jersey. In response to our call, faith leaders of the Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish and Christian communities mobilized hundreds of volunteers to help clean up rubble of many homes that were destroyed or damaged, and delivered food to stranded survivors. It was a heartwarming experience to see human solidarity in action and interfaith harmony at its best.
"Building Bridges Across Boundaries," as expressed in the theme of our partnership, is an ongoing project and will not be limited to an annual one-day interfaith program but rather to a continuous effort and commitment by all of the participants with programs and actions to enhance the promotion of interfaith harmony as envisioned by the UNGA Resolution A/65/PV.34.
The organizers are in preliminary talks with each of the faith leaders with the aim of holding interfaith programs/projects in their churches, mosques, synagogues and temples to which communities of the other faiths would be invited to participate, thus making the interfaith harmony and understanding a yearlong pursuit towards the two commandments that guide the WIHW, namely "Love of God, Love of the Neighbor" or "Love of the Good, Love of the Neighbor".

1695 Tasting Notes
Really loving this tea! I adore orange and that's the main note that comes through. A tiny hint of spice in the aftertaste, and some vague green tea notes hangin around somewhere I can't put my finger on.
Funny, I'm never one for floral teas but I don't get much of that at all here. Definitely some in the lingering afternotes but not enough to make me notice unless I concentrate.
Hot, I quite adore this. Cooled down, I find it a bit tart but still quite tasty. Thanks for sharing MissB!
I'm sitting here sipping my tea, a little melancholy today.
The blog site I frequent, and have been on for many years lost a blogger today. Someone I've come to regard as a living angel, and a dear friend. He died last night, complications from surgery/cancer. I've never met the man in person, but know people who have.
Then there is what's going on in my "real" life… Mum is in surgery right now, nothing major… just kidney stones that lodged somewhere they couldn't blast with an ultrasound. Still, they're cutting her up and poking around some major organs/arteries. I'm a bit lot worried.
And I can't stop wondering, as absolutely ridiculous as it is, if my friend down in Oregon passed so that she could live. And then I think to myself what an awful person I am for even contemplating that… how do I come up with these things? and why can't I just put the idea aside. I've tried distracting myself with all sorts of things but nothing has worked yet. Except for maybe writing this "review".
Sorry for the emodump. I couldn't really post this in my regular blog place.
Anyhow. This tea was a much needed cup of selfcare. Emotional drinking? you bet.
With just 1/3 tsp of sugar, the pancake and syrup notes pop a bit. Of course I added a dollop of milk as well. It really adds that extra oomph needed for pancake texture.
Well, that's all I got. RIP my dear sweet PM. Meanwhile my fingernails are shredded waiting for word on Mum.
How devastating. And completely understandable that a loss of any kind would make you wonder all sorts of things (why we lose people, how it's determined who will go when, if there's a point, what it is, if there's an order/purpose, etc.). I'd give you the longest hug right now if I could.
Not awful. Not at all. It's human, it's normal, and there's a flow to life – even if we don't understand it. For me, it's been about accepting that sometimes, "bad" things happen for good reasons, i.e. I've had amazing breakthroughs and growth from those darker places, and couldn't have gotten there without the "bad". Sending much love and light to you all, and hopes for a speedy and easy recovery.
So sorry about your loss. Just remember that just because you've never met someone in person does not mean you don't know them, and does make your grieving process (whatever it may be) any less valid than someone who had.
My condolences to you.
All sorts of things go through our head when making sense of death, life, fear.
(( Indigobloom ))
Meh. I was disappointed by this one. Standard, vaguely fruity, dusty green tea. Not memorable in the least, quite boring actually and that was after I added a bit of sugar to amp up the notes.
This is the sort of quality I expect from grocery store bagged ctc. Tsk.
For some reason I really like dragonfruit in tea. Seriously, its good stuff. So when this was passed over to me from VariaTea by way of Sil, I was excited! Thank you both! I was a little apprehensive at taking the entire pouch, especially since I'd been quite disinterested in herbals for the last year or so (but a tad bit more open to it lately).
Anyhow, I tried it and didn't hate it! That bubblegummy fruit punch taste I've come to associate with dragonfruit is definitely there, and makes the brew highly enjoyable for me. Noms! The floral hint is a nice background addition too.
Tried this again just to see and yep, same deal. Sadly there isn't much left in my sample so this is an almost sipdown, with enough left to fill a teeny cup.
I think the major problem here is that I just don't care for the base. I find it earthy in a strange fashion. Not quite musty, or dirt like… I dunno, can't put my finger on it!
A little bit of mushroom going on as well.
Wowsa! What a wallop of raspberry. Tart, fresh berries ripe for picking. No cream though.
Pretty sure I oversteeped at 3 min, so next time I'll go for 2 or 2.5.
Added milk and a bit of sugar due to the bitterness and it was quite lovely. A bit artificial in that overpowering raspberry danish kindof way, but I love that! Noms.
That said, I wouldn't recommend this for a purist! ha.
Lemon dish soap. Should give this too naughty kids needing a mouth washing!
I think maybe this part of the batch got a double dose of flavouring because it just doesn't sound like any of the other reviews I've seen. Nope not at all!

You do not need to hold a lifestyle content writing jobs or an entertainment content writing job to understand the inner world of fashion. All you need is to follow these 10 fashion tips and you are all set.
- Cater to the occasion
People do not expect you to wear something shiny to a funeral. At the same time, others would not want you to wear a melancholic dress to a wedding. This is why it is important to dress according to the occasion. Half your job is done if you get can this right.
- Adapt to the changing trends
It needn't only be lifestyle content writers or entertainment content writers who know so much about spaghetti straps, bishop sleeves and tulip skirts. You can too. All you need to do is be up to date about the recent change in trends and you can shop for them with ease.
- Summer? Keep it light
If it's summer, then keep away from accessories. Dress in light colored clothes and avoid all kinds of embellishments on clothes. It is always suggested to wear loose clothes as they will not stick to you as you sweat during the summers.
- Look cool with sunglasses
Not all sunglasses will look good on every face. It is important to find the right type for your face shape. For instance, those with round faces will look better in sunglasses with angular designs. People with square shaped faces look better with round framed designs.
- Choose the right colors
This applies to identifying the right colors that compliment your skin tone. For instance, if you have a cool color tone, then you should side towards colors like green, purple, magenta and if you have a warm color tone, then you should opt for colors like yellow, brown, maroon.
- Mix prints
Don't worry. This looks better than it sounds. For starters, you can look for patterns that have a common color tone.
- Scarves
Do you know scarves are also called as magic scarves? Most of us tie our scarves only in one particular manner. There are numerous ways you can tie your scarf. You can turn them into a loop, a double loop, a vest and much more. You can even use them to make a boho headband.
- Hair styles
They say that the right hairstyle has the power to transform the way you look. Why stick to the same old ordinary hairstyle when you can experiment? Be it short hair, medium length hair, or long hair – your hair is destined for so much more than that ponytail.
- Footwear
Do not stick to only flats. Sure, they are the most comfortable. But you can also find comfortable heels if you look for them. You can go for peep toes if you are wearing jeans or short dresses and pumps to match your formal attire. And don't forget boots. A good pair of boots should always be a part of your closet.
- Handbags
Not every bag go with every occasion. If you are headed for a party, it's wise to carry a clutch. If you are going out casually with your friends, a cross body bag would be preferred.
Ladies! It's time to get out there and flaunt your style.

Gypsies from all over the country gathered last week at the site near Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, to take part in a vigil for Eileen Anderson, 31, who had cancer of the liver. The commissioners at first maintained that Mrs Anderson, her husband George, and her four children, aged between 3 and 10, should leave the site despite her illness.
However, after an outcry they relented and allowed the family to remain on the site while Mrs Anderson was ill. She died on Sunday and her funeral will take place this week in Ireland.
A spokesman for the commissioners said they would be considering what action to take next but would not be rushing into anything.
He added, though, that the eviction order was still valid.
He said he understood that some of the other gypsy families on the site had now left as they had promised to do once the commissioners had relented and allowed them to stay temporarily.
Mrs Anderson's brother-in-law, Thomas, said: 'The landowners have been very helpful and given us permission to stay until all this is over and the funeral has been sorted out.'Reuse content

Every World Ruler Needs a Palace
Marla tried to fasten Terry's bowl into its seatbelt as best as she could, but Terry still seemed a little concerned about the safety of the craft they were preparing to take off in. Marla shrugged, "You were the one that said I had better listen to what Tech said." Terry looked at her grumpily, but supposed there was really no point in arguing with her.
"Ready?" Tech said poking an invisible, cloaked head through the archway between the cockpit where he was seated and back compartment where Marla and Terry were.
"Ready," Marla responded with a thumbs up. She was still rather bummed that instead of getting a vacation she was instead going to have to rule the world and watch for assassination attempts, but what could she do? She figured being difficult with Tech wouldn't solve any problems.
Just as Marla was settling back into her chair the ship shot forward. Marla instinctively threw out the protective mom arm in front of Terry's bowl to make sure that he did not shoot forward with the same vigor that the ship did.
"My goodness," sputtered Terry as he jostled about in his bowl, water splashing out of both sides, "this is quite the bumpy ride." He was right. It was a very bumpy ride. Marla and Terry bumped along at the high speed of the ship for another twenty seconds or so and then as suddenly as the ship had started, it stopped. Marla and Terry sighed in unison.
"We're here," Tech said walking (or at least Marla assumed the invisible man was walking) into the back compartment. Tech pushed a button and the floor turned back into the ramp they had used to get into the ship. The slightly discombobulated Marla and Terry followed Tech out of the ship onto the top of what looked like a Mayan temple.
"Wow," Marla said looking around at the large stone structure they had landed on top of. "Where are we? Peru?"
Tech tried, rather unsuccessfully, to suppress his laugher. "No, this isn't Peru. We're in Southwestern Montana."
"Montana?" Marla and Terry responded in unison.
"Of course, Montana," Tech replied. "You don't think a world ruler would set up shop in a place where people could access him very easily, do you?"
"I suppose not," said Marla continuing to assess her surroundings. "And I suppose that I should be grateful for this decision, shouldn't I?"
"Oh yes indeed," Tech replied. "That and the fact that the ruler of the world is a big fan of action films."
"Action films?" Marla questioned. "I'm not sure I understand."
"Well, you see," said Tech, "every time the ruler of the world watches a film like Indiana Jones or what was that one with the lady who had adopted all those babies...oh yes, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, he decides to incorporate the different defensive structures around his own palace. With the amount of films he's watched, you are currently standing in the safest place in the world."
Suddenly in the far distance Marla saw a flame shoot up high into the sky. Tech gave a hearty laugh. "See what I mean?" Tech said looking cheerfully at Marla. "Someone must have been trying to break in, but they didn't even make it past the first obstacle."
"But what if it was just an accident?" Marla questioned. "What if it was just a stray elk or squirrel or whatever kind of wildlife you have out here in Montana?"
Tech didn't seem to have noted her question. "Enough about the defense structures though. It's time that I provide you with a little more detail about your duties."
"I can't wait," Marla said sarcastically, as she picked up Terry's bowl and followed after Tech who was going who knows where.

More cover ID possibilities:
MWOM 23-25 -Starlin pencils. I think Esposito inked #'s 23 and 25, but I don't know who inked 24; Duffy Vohland, perhaps? Also, the DD figure looks like Starlin's work, I'm not certain about that sloppy Owl figure.
MWOM 28-30: It appears that Darlin' Dick Ayers pencilled these covers, likely inked by Esposito. I'll try to check with Dick to confirm. It's quite a surprise to me, as i've never seen these covers!
MWOM 41 0n: the added art on FF appears to be by Mike Esposito.

I'd add that I believe this is certainly a Wood DD, with Kirby adding the buildings in the background, probably at the request of Stan. Wood likely had an empty background and Lee wanted to add a sense of height and danger.

The spaces betweenMature
The darkness was thick and suffocating; it clogged her windpipe like sludge and her breath stuttered in her lungs. There was a warm, sticky slickness that covered her forearms and hands. Her grip on her double-bladed scythe was unsteady but manageable. Gwen stepped forward, exploring the abysmal blackness without an inkling of fear. Shadows were simply the absence of light; she knew what could hide in the darkness and in most cases, the things that could hide in the light were much more dangerous.
Movement to her right drew her attention and she hesitated mid-step, her breath held protectively behind her teeth. She could almost hear something breathe a few feet away, but the sound of her infernal heartbeat drowned it out. She hated having a human body; it made her vulnerable, and there were few things Gwen loathed more than being vulnerable.
When the second gust of movement came at her, she was ready. The blade of her scythe pressed into the throat of the demon that approached her, but no blood was drawn. Instead, the demon simply looked at her – its eyelids flinching with the indecipherable movement of its pupils in the blackish pools of its eyes. Rotting stitches punctured its lips in crooked lines, sealing them closed. It stank of death and decay and an unshakable agony. It grimaced an unnerving smile at her.
Instinct dictated her movements, then, and she was glad for it. The early stages of terror had settled into her bones and she feared she might never shake them loose; not with the image of that smile haunting her mind. The smooth, damp shink of her blade sinking into flesh brought her back to reality. She opened her eyes. The demon was still smiling its tortured smile.
An astounding pain that had her nerves in spasms exploded across her throat. She gurgled, once, as her mouth filled with blood. Gwen understood where she was, then, as her knees cracked against the invisible ground and the aphotic void around her swallowed her whole.
With a panicked, desperate gasp, she woke in the car. Just beyond the windshield, the sun was setting. Beside her, Archer tossed a glance her way and said, "Everything all right?"
No, she thought, but her mouth said, "Yeah, it was just a dream." The longer she collected herself, the farther away the dream seemed. She was hungry and the sluggish burden of post-sleep clung to her brain, slowing down her thoughts and preventing her from reasoning away the nightmare. "I need to stretch and eat, would you pull over?" As she'd expected, Archer obliged without a word. When he stepped out of the car, she swapped her jeans for a pair of leggings and her loose blouse for a fitted tank top.
The sun sank below the mountain range a few miles ahead of them. The sky was cloudless. Gwen lit a cigarette and began one of her short yoga routines; she'd learned a long time ago that the best way to wake up her troublesome human body was with some light exercise – it limbered her up and allowed for her brain to dust off the cobwebs. Already she could feel her aching muscles release some of their tension. She paid no mind to Archer's curious gaze, and after a while, he turned away and popped the trunk of the BMW to search the contents for edibles.
They drank warm bottled water and ate a couple of her granola bars each, quietly observing the absence of clouds in a sky they'd both grown to expect storms from almost ceaselessly. It had been weeks since either of them had seen a sky so clear and non-threatening. It was not the pleasant weather they were seeking answers to, however, when they stared up into eternity.
Within half an hour, they were back on the road. Gwen drove and, for a while, Archer navigated. It was nearly midnight when he dozed off in the passenger seat as they sped down the highway at a hundred miles an hour, dodging the abandoned or wrecked cars that got in the way, and every minor shift or twitch of his limbs elicited a series of crinkles from the map still open on his lap. Her stomach rumbled with a hunger she knew granola bars wouldn't satiate. She needed to find real food for them, something with more substance. They were angelics but they weren't invulnerable to malnutrition.
She kept an eye on the signs along the road, weighing the likelihood of a run-in with demons on every exit. When the hunger became too much too ignore, she took the next exit with a food sign and killed the headlights. The BMW's engine was all-but silent, and she coasted along the road with only her exceptional night vision as a guide. A few miles off the highway she found an abandoned restaurant and pulled into the lot.
The map crumpled as Archer sat upright suddenly; his eyes wide open as he inspected his surroundings. Gwen said, "It's all right; we're just stopping here for food. Those granola bars won't hold me over for two days in a row."
He shook off whatever sensation had spooked him and folded the map neatly before he shoved it into the glove box. They split up to do a scouting loop around the building and met at the back door. The absence of demons should not have given her so much suspicion to course through her veins, but it did and she couldn't rid herself of it. She picked the lock on the door and they crept inside, crouched low to the ground with their firearms clamped firmly in their fists. There were no lights on, and no matter how much she strained her senses there were no indications of life in the restaurant besides the two of them. Only mildly satisfied, she flicked the lights on and bolted all the doors from the inside while Archer secured the windows.
She couldn't deny that it was a pleasant idea to eat a real meal, though, and soon her stomach gobbled up even her suspicion and left her with only one desire: feasting.
Archer shrugged off his jacket and cleaned off a few prep tables with a spray cleaner he found on a shelf above the sink basins. Gwen scoured the fridge for anything still edible, and came out with an armload of frozen meats and a few fresh vegetables that hadn't been devoured by rot. As she thawed the meat under the water in the sink, Archer peeked his head around a display shelf full of cooking implements and tossed a fistful of dry rice at her with a laugh. He scampered off before she could retaliate, but she smiled to herself and stifled a chuckle.
They made stir-fry over rice and drank a few of the beers they found in the cooler. Gwen wanted to stay, to enjoy the serenity they'd found in the kitchen of the abandoned restaurant, but it was a selfish urge and she shoved it aside. Besides, she thought to herself as she finished the last of her beer, she knew what would happen if she allowed them to stay there.
Some things could not be fought, and the way Archer looked at her was on that list. She knew she would lose if she left herself vulnerable to him.

School buses and school bus drivers provide an essential service in transporting children to and from school each day. However, with the important obligations of transporting children comes the responsibility to also build buses that are safe and reliable, while only hiring bus drivers who are highly qualified to competently drive them. The School Bus Information Clearinghouse (SBIC) collects and provides informative facts pertaining to the United States school bus transportation system.
Amount of Children
School buses drive children to and from school almost every day and in almost every community. According to the SBIC, every school day, approximately 450,000 school buses transport over 24 million children to and from schools and other school-related activities. Furthermore, each year 8.8 billion student "to-and-from-school" trips are made by buses in the U.S., with an additional 1.2 billion trips being made for field trips.
Despite the large number of children commuting in school buses and the remarkable number of trips the school buses make each day, school buses are the safest method of travel for children going to and from school. Fatal crashes involving school bus passengers are very rare; in 2010, only five children were killed as passengers on school buses, and because each fatality occurred in a separate state, 45 states had no fatal accidents involving school bus occupants. Also, between 1990 and 2000, an average of just six children died every year while riding school buses. A study conducted by the Transportation Research Board of the National Academy of Sciences found that every year more than 800 school children are killed during regular school transportation hours as occupants in other types of vehicles, as pedestrians or as bicyclists.
One of the reasons school buses are such a safe form of transportation is that school buses are required to conform to higher construction standards and must possess a higher quality of equipment than most other vehicles on the road. To ensure safety, each school bus is equipped with well-padded, high-back seats, superior brake systems that allow buses to stop within shorter distances than other large vehicles, and rollover-protection devices that decrease the chances of a roof collapsing. Other additional parts that enhance the safety of school buses include warning signs to indicate when passengers are loading or unloading, swing-out stop arms, additional mirrors, fuel system protectors and emergency exits.
Driver Requirements
School bus drivers are required to meet higher qualification and testing standards than other drivers, and thus the competent and skillful driving by highly trained bus drivers is another reason for the low crash rate and successful safety records of school buses. All drivers must receive a Commercial Drivers License (CDL), must take and pass extensive state training programs regarding school buses, and must also pass drug and alcohol screenings and background checks.
Due to the discoveries pertaining to environmental hazards and technological advancements that serve to prevent such hazards, many school buses being made today are constructed and operated so as not to pollute the environment. To protect the children and the environment from pollution, most school buses are currently being built (as of 2011) with environmentally advanced "green" diesel engines or natural gas engines.
