Lyon county district court officials said Friday that David Frver, 24. will appear Monday before Judge E. F. Kennedy in connection with a hearing order signed by Chief Justice C. Edwin Moore. Court officials said the order indicated Fryer may not have had access to ail the evidence presented by state's witness Sandra Chesky of Sioux Falls, S.D., in connection with the ease. She was the lone survivor of a group shotgunned in the northwest Iowa park. The order from the justice directed the court to see if any evidence was withheld from Fryer's defense counsel and if it was necessary to the trial.

Scroll down for more on skin analysing moisture meters, and how they tell you if your skin is dry, dehydrated, balanced, or oily.
Ever seen moisture meters for the soil? The ones with long probes that go a couple of inches into the ground, and give you a reading? Like this one here. My garden-loving Dad has a couple of those.
The principle of the skin moisture meters is the same, but the probes, obviously, don't go in deep, because you don't want those sharp 4'' "nails" anywhere near your skin.
The skin moisture meters have a more egronomic, compact design. These are battery-operated. The probes are flat and need to be pressed gently on the skin's surface. They measure approximately 5-6'' on an average, and come with an LCD display and backlight, to show the readings.
Both the models I have show oil and water content. One shows proper figures while the other just shows a bar diagram. Needless to say, I prefer the first one.
The first model (SK-5D) measures both oil and moisture from 0-99.9%. There is a power button and a reset button to clear readings. Once you switch on the power button, the display area blinks four times. After that, all you have to do is hold the probe perpendicular - gently - against the skin, to get the readings.
The second model, as I said, only indicates the general level of moisture, oil and roughness, as a graph. I prefer the first one with specific percentages, of course.
The aesthetician told me there should be a minimum of 30% moisture on the skin, and 50% means your skin is holding up nicely. Anything from topical acne medication to cleansers and makeup - even sun exposure - will obviously affect the moisture level readings.
Once you apply moisturiser, you can see the difference in the readings. You can also test the readings after a few hours of moisturising, so you know if those 16-hour-hydration claims by certain creams are true.
If the LCD is green, it indicates moisture balance. If it is red, it indicates severe dehydration. If it turns orange (never happened to me!), it indicates saturation point. That happens to be my goal, because there is no such thing as over-hydrated skin.
For some perspective, here are a few readings from various areas:
Verdict and where to buy digital moisture meters for the skin:I have no idea if these readings are accurate, but these gadgets are
1. super-fun to use
2. below $10-ish each ($10.46 here)
3. indicative of whether a cream or lotion is at least somewhat hydrating or not
4. all fancy to use when you are reviewing a moisturiser, and you can say that your hydration level shot up by x percentage
5. portable and easy to use
6. a talking point at gatherings
I think they are cool, and, at $10.46 and $4.79 respectively, you can play with these nicely. I've had them for a few months now and haven't had any problems with how they work.
Buy here if you like the SK-5D, which is my favourite model. If you prefer buying from eBay, go here - price includes international shipping. Go here for the other model - it costs just $4.79. I mean, that's insane!
While you have fun looking at - and buying - these gizmos, this week's top makeup posts are here.

It is time to make drinks exciting again.
For everyone.
Let's face it: drinking plain water all the time gets boring fast.
But what else can you do when you are focused on reclaiming good health? If you are in a state of recovery - either from addiction or a health problem - you want to do everything you can to promote whole body wellness.
Alcohol and sugary soft drinks just don't fit into that equation.
Yet their absence make you wonder how you can treat yourself to something tasty and refreshing without compromising with unhealthy ingredients.
We know exactly how that feels. And that's how these recipes were born: to bring joy, playfulness, and most importantly, deliciousness to your glass even if you are following a restricted diet like the Paleo autoimmune protocol (AIP) or are otherwise excluding booze.
In this exciting new eBook MUDDLED, you can learn how to master the art of hand-crafted non-alcoholic beverages that are delicious, fun, refreshing, and most importantly, good for you.
No alcohol doesn't have to mean no fun with this exciting eBook MUDDLED, which features 40+ recipes for handcrafted mocktails. This second edition adds some hot drinks for the Winter months!
A well-crafted drink is the cherry on top to a perfect meal
If you are following the Paleo diet or AIP, you know how important it is to take the time to prepare your food. You probably go to great lengths to source the best food your money can buy and prepare it carefully, enjoying every bite.
And then you serve it with plain water. Just doesn't seem right, does it?
Now you can learn how to use the rainbow of healthy fresh fruits, herbs, and spices nature provides us with to create mouth-watering craft beverages to perfectly complement your nutrient-dense meals.
There is nothing to mock about these mocktails
Good food and drinks do more than simply satiate your hunger and thirst. When consciously prepared and enjoyed, they nourish your body and soul as well. And there is nothing quite as nourishing as sharing a good drink with good company. This practice runs deep in human culture, and now you can get excited about drinks again without needing to resort to alcohol.
Inside this big new Second Edition of MUDDLED are over 40 recipes, but your purchase will be a gift that keeps on giving because....
Your purchase also enrolls you in the Drink of the Month Club
For the next several months* (through at least June 2017) you will receive a new drink recipe** to enjoy and add to your repertoire. Now that's a bargain!

Frequently Asked Questions (please read before buying!)
Will I need any special tools to make these drinks?
True to the title, you will need a muddler to be able to make these drinks. They are very inexpensive at a local store or online.
Do any of the drinks have added sweetener?
Yes, but in most cases it can be adjusted to taste or omitted altogether. There are a few drinks that we believe need a little bit of added sweetener to have the best possible taste.
What kinds of sweeteners can I use?
We recommend only using whole, unrefined natural sweeteners like coconut sugar, sucanat (which is whole cane sugar), raw honey, maple syrup, maple sugar, or date sugar. If you prefer non-nutritive sweeteners like stevia or erythritol you should be able to substitute according to the package direcitons of the product you like to use, however please note we have not tested any of these drinks with such sweeteners.
Which special diets are these recipes suitable for?
These recipes were created while we were on the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol (AIP). However due to the use of fruits and natural sweeteners these recipes are not suitable for GAPS/SCD or recommended if you are dealing with SIBO or candida.
Are these drinks easy to make?
We think so! Most can be prepared in just a few minutes. Some do require advance preparation like brewing tea or infusing water but it's all easy peasy to do!

From Albert Nana Asante
A total of 138 candidates, including Albert Nana Asante, The Chronicle Correspondent in Obuasi, have filed their nominations with the Obuasi Office of the Electoral Commission (EC) to contest the forthcoming District Assembly elections scheduled for December 28, this year.
Mr. Francis Addai Boateng, Obuasi Municipal Director of the Electoral Commission, who disclosed this in an interview with the press in Obuasi, said out of the number, 17 were females, with 121 being males.
He added that Obuasi now had a total of 38 electoral areas due to the addition of eight new ones, and gave Pomposo-Asonkore as the electoral area with the highest candidates.
"Nine people are contesting for the Pomposo-Asonkore seat, and that should tell you how people have shown interest in the district assembly elections," he stressed.
The Obuasi Municipal Director of the Electoral Commission disclosed that a total of 342 candidates, comprising of 50 females and 292 males had also filed for the Unit Committee elections.
Mr. Boateng added that the mounting of platforms by aspiring candidates for the district assembly elections would start on December 16, and end on December 24, but was quick to add, "Apart from the usual platforms created by the EC, individual candidates would also be allowed to mount their own platforms."
He entreated the public to have an interest and participate in the District Assembly elections, since it was the foundation for the development of the country.

Unexpected Turns
"How'd school go today Celeste?" My mom's voice called out to me as I walked into the apartment and into my room.
"Just fine mom!" I called back.
Setting my bag on top of my desk and kicking out of my converse shoes, I flopped on top of the bed, closing my eyes.
"Is this how you're planning on spending the rest of the day?"
I opened my eyes slightly and saw my mom leaning against the door, looking amused.
"Roy and his aunt are dropping by. I'm going out of the city for a short trip with her, meanwhile you'll be staying with Roy, okay?"
I almost jumped up in excitement when hearing this. Me...Roy...together...in one house...for how long?
"We'll be gone for two weeks. I'm sure you and Roy can manage together right?"
I nodded, getting up slowly. "So, should I pack up my clothes and things?"
"Yeah, I think that would be good."
The moment Marissa stepped out the room, I jumped up in hyper-ness and started packing hurriedly. This is going to be fun.
I looked up as Roy entered the room with a small smile on his face. He nodded at me and then sat down on the couch, flicking through the TV channels. The nod supposedly meant that Mom and his aunt had already left.
"Are you comfortable with this?" I asked quietly, looking at him to see his reaction.
He turned off the TV, and smiled.
"Yeah I am. You're my friend afterall."
Friend. A pang of pain hit my chest and I tried not to cough dramatically.
"Friend..." I lingered on the word, as Roy looked at me curiously, waiting for me to continue. When I didn't say anything as the silence went on, he cleared his throat.
"What?" I asked, a bit annoyed.
"You're not being yourself. You're not chipper like you usually are."
"You don't know me Roy. You said it yourself."
"I told you that it's hard for me to figure you out. That doesn't necessarily mean I don't know you."
"Well to me it does. I don't want you to figure me out. Just go with what you have, you don't need to do some extra analysis of me. And you kept saying I was perfect before you kissed me. And my opinion, is that no one's perfect. Everyone has their flaws! Especially me!"
The silence between us was endless after my biting words. Roy just stared at me, his face calm as ever, like it always was. He never ever got angry or upset or anything else, he was always calm. And sometimes his facade is hard to look past. I want to know how he feels.
Then just like he had before, he got up and left the room. I blinked at the empty space in front of me where he'd been sitting before, anger, confusion and hurt boiling inside of me. Why did he always leave so abruptly?
I got up, muttering curses under my breath and literally shaking. I stormed up the stairs and kicked his room door open.
We had to settle things.

LONDON, June 12 Philippe Tible, chief executive of Kingfisher's Castorama and Brico Depot brands is to leave Europe's No. 1 home improvement group next year, the firm said on Thursday.
Kingfisher said Tible will step down from the board and the executive team at the end of July but will remain with the business until January 2015 to help with negotiations to buy Mr Bricolage - a 275 million euros ($374 million) deal Kingfisher announced in April.
Tible is currently responsible for the group's Castorama and Brico Depot businesses, which are mainly in France but also trade in eastern Europe.
Kingfisher said Véronique Laury, CEO of Castorama France, and Alain Souillard, CEO Brico Dépôt brand International, will both be promoted to the group executive team, which sits below the group's main Plc board.
As well as negotiating the Mr Bricolage deal the group is currently rolling-out a new Castorama store format in France and expanding Brico Depot in France and other European markets.
"As we enter a new phase of our development, it is clear that the business needs the next generation of leaders to oversee these plans," said Kingfisher Chairman Daniel Bernard.
Tible will be eligible for compensation for loss of office, though details are yet to be disclosed. Shares in Kingfisher, up 12 percent over the last year, were down 0.4 percent.
Tony Shiret, analyst at Espirito Santo Investment Bank, who has a sell stance on the stock, said Tible's exit was "bad news".
"Genuinely talented retailers have been in desperately short supply over the last 10-15 years. So to cast one aside seems to us fundamentally a wrong decision." ($1 = 0.7345 Euros) (Reporting by James Davey; editing by Kate Holton)

Michael Meek, president of the Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce, Inc., said councilwoman Debbie Flume's proposal to abolish the 4A sales tax also could threaten development of a higher education facility here, pending results of a feasibility study. Flume said if the projects were really important, council could look at alternative ways of funding them. "At this point though, I think our street and drainage projects are more important than an office park," she said. "You have to be able to offer a good quality of life to attract white-collar jobs." On Monday, Flume proposed asking voters to consider eliminating the economic development sales tax and adopting a sales tax in its place for property tax reduction. Council voted to postpone any action until its July 12. meeting. The Economic Development Corporation recommends how the city should spend 1/8 of the city's 1.5-percent sales tax. The 4A board uses that money to help existing businesses or to attract new businesses. Currently, funds from the 4A board are used to help finance a project to develop a new office park complex in New Braunfels as well as a $60,000 feasibility study on the community's higher education needs.

On Wednesday the Business Advisory and Transportation Committees of the Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce held the first of a series of meetings to update residents on the $93 million project to widen 1-35. Dean Word, whose company, the Dean Word Company, is responsible for the construction from a half-mile south of Solms Road to a half-mile north of Walnut Avenue, attended Wednesday's meeting. He said his company has encountered "constant struggles" with hitting utility lines. "Right now, if you look at the percent complete versus time charge, we are behind schedule," he said. "On the surface that may look bad, but the fact is that we have not presented the state yet with a time-impact analysis on the utility holdups that we've encountered constantly throughout the job." The delays will push the completion several months past the original May 2002 completion date, he said. The first phase of the construction is to rebuild the outside of the frontage roads. "Unfortunately, the outside of the frontage road is where the lion share of all the buried utilities are " Word said, and those utilities have to be relocated for the construction. The company has had problems hitting telephone, cable, water and sewer lines. Word said that the utility companies' plans do not always accurately reflect where the lines are. Also, the expansion and contraction of the soil may cause the lines to move from their original locations, he said. However, he said the project is "finally" getting to the stage where "we can go in there and do what we do best, which is build roads." Once the outsides of the frontage roads are complete the businesses will have driveways and the curbs and storm sewers will be complete. "I'm sorry about how bad it's been, but really, to a large extent it hasn't been under my control. I've been at the mercy of the utility relocates." Deavers Construction is handling the portion of the construction project from north of Walnut Avenue to north of FM 725. Word, whose portion of the construction is actually two projects, said the three projects probably weren't designed to be under construction at the same time. New Braunfels has few Interstate 35 crossings, and the construction is straining crosstown traffic, Word said. TxDOT Project Managers Linda Grimsley and Ben Englehardt provided updates on' the construction projects: • Word Construction is building a newSee I-35/8A FELS Flume's plan could threaten office park Trustees break ground on SVHS expansion By Ron Maloney Staff Writer SMITHSON VALLEY — Dan Krueger wore a special, colorful tie at the groundbreaking Wednesday morning for the $16.5 million expansion at Smithson Valley High School. But the former Comal school board president didn't do it to celebrate the new project. Instead, it was a gesture to honor the late Jim Pfluger, the architect who designed the unique project. The architect was known for his many colorful ties, Krueger said. Pfluger, of Austin, died a month and a half ago in a plane crash. "Jim poured his heart and soul into this project," said Krueger, vice chair of the Comal school board of trustees. The expansion, which includes a distinctive rotunda, 32 new classrooms, a library, cafeteria, gym, band hall and theatre, will help SVHS accommodate up to 2,000 students. "An incredible amount of man-hours, of planning, went into this facility," Krueger said. "It's a great layout and design.

They held up signs to passing motorists, asking them to pray with them for the archbishop. Flores has always been there for her, Villagomez said. "Now, my father needs someone, and I need to gather people to pray for him," she said. Flores was kept hostage at the Chancery Office for the Archdiocese of San Antonio, and many there had the same thoughts as Villagomez.

Jasmine spoke at TEDxMMU in Cyberjaya
on the topic 'Listen with your Heart', sharing about what inspires her.
What starts a conversation?
Creative entrepreneurship.
Almost a decade ago, we launched 'Go International', an experience that brought 60 young people through our homegrown digital culture youth festival FEYST to NVISION@SanJose, ESWC@ParisGamesWeek, Malaysia Fest Sydney, DreamHack Sweden, Shanghai World Expo, Digital Youth Award Singapore, Sweden Malaysia Innovation Week, GBOB@Chiangmai, GBOB@Oslo. Trust me, this has started many conversations! We raised over RM4 million in media ROI for sponsors, arranged for 6 pro-gamers to meet the Prime Minister, got what I asked for when I jokingly requested for 100,000 meatballs from IKEA, and developed hundreds of hours of digital content. The spirit of entrepreneurship begins early and international exposure is a catalyst for young people to help create better solutions for the planet. One thing was for sure – we were a key player in driving creative independence simply by doing what we were doing.

Every country has its traditions and stories. Among them are superstitions, which influence culture more than you think. Some are good practices, such as not opening an umbrella indoors, while others make little sense, like spitting when a black cat crosses your. Although people claim to be less superstitious these days, the rituals haven't completely gone away. Here are 12 of the more bizarre ones from all over the world that are still prevalent.
Brazilians don't leave bags on the floor
Leaving your bag on the floor is considered very bad luck in Brazil. It's believed that if you let your bag or wallet hit the ground, you will lose money.
The French step on poop
In France, it is believed that stepping on dog poop with your left will bring you luck while stepping on poop with your right foot will bring misfortune. Perhaps this is why it is not a widely practiced custom for the French to pick up after their dogs.
Koreans never sleep with fans in a closed room
In South Korea, locals believe that sleeping in a closed room with a fan running will kill you. This phenomenon is called Fan Death and has even lead to electric fans being made with shut-off timers.
Egyptians fear and revere scissors
In Egypt, it's considered bad luck to open and close scissors without cutting something. It's even worse luck if you leave them open. Conversely, they do believe scissors bring some good as there is also a popular belief that scissors kept under a pillow can cure a person of nightmares.
Rwandan women avoid goat meat
In Rwanda, there is a widespread belief that eating goats' meat causes you to grow a beard and women are traditionally discouraged from eating this meat.
Vermont homes have slanted windows
You'll find that many farmhouses built in the 19th century in New England and specifically Vermont, have slanted windows. It was commonly believed that witches wouldn't be able to fly on their brooms into your home if the window was built at an angle.
Chinese avoid the number 4
In China, the number 4 is widely feared due to its similar pronunciation of the word for death. This number and numbers in combination with it (14, 24, 34 etc.) are considered so unlucky they are not used in addresses, phone numbers and building floors.
Vietnamese students skip bananas
In Vietnam students hoping to excel at school avoid eating bananas. In Vietnamese, the words for "slip" and "fail" are similar and because bananas are associated with slipperiness students look for other healthy snacks.
The Japanese hide their stomachs during thunderstorms
Japanese children are told to cover or hide their stomachs during thunderstorms. It is believed if you don't take care that the god of thunder, Raijin, will come after you and try eat your belly button.
Touch red in Greece
The Greek equivalent of jinx is called piase kokkino which means "touch red". Whenever two people say the same thing at the same time, they need to say piase kokkino and touch something red.
The Turkish worry about nightfall
In Turkey, there are several activities avoided at night because of superstition. Gum is not chewed as it is believed you are actually chewing the flesh of the dead. Whistling is also avoided because it might call the devil. Nails are not cut as it might shorten your life, and sweeping is avoided because it is believed to cause poverty.
The Swedes jump over manholes
In Sweden, you might encounter pedestrians wary of walking over manholes. The country's manhole covers are marked with either "K", representing fresh water and love or "A" representing sewage and broken love. Some Swedes believe that your romantic fortune is determined by which manhole covers you step over.

In a society that's steadily becoming aware of the substantial impact of industries on ecology, environmental certifications like the ISO 14001 standard are becoming much more widespread. Many companies now seek to produce and execute measures for sustainability and eco-friendliness. With more than 600 enviromentally friendly certifications globally, companies have an ever-expanding list of green labels where to choose from. These certifications are voluntary, and to abide by one can improve an organization's respectability for quality products and services.
More and more nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and companies are pursuing ecological certifications for their operations. It gives them an opportunity to gauge the effectiveness of their sustainability initiatives. It also provides them the opportunity to develop the credibility of environmental claims, to offer requirements for comparisons, and to be qualified for financial benefits such as rebates and tax incentives. The bottom line of all these is to decrease the negative effect on the environment which, consequently, will work for the planet.
A brief description of the ISO 14001 standard
The ISO 14001 standard gives guidance to businesses on ways to implement best practices in environmental management. This standard does not encompass particular environment performance requirements. Instead, it provides a basic framework for an organization to lay out and apply personalized solutions for environmental management.
ISO 14001 basic steps
Companies that create a detailed environmental management system (EMS) through ISO 14001 receive many benefits. These include compliance with environmental laws, reduction of waste management costs, improved employee safety, increased efficiency, and improved public image. Most of all, an efficient EMS assists in preserving the natural surroundings which offers pride to the company and its personnel.
Auditing EMS
Right after an EMS has been developed, an internal audit is the critical element in its execution and actual practice. Step-by-step auditing can give indispensable feedback vital to the success of the EMS. It makes it possible for EMS parameters to be adjusted to generate better results and boost the level of environmental management these systems afford.
Aside from ISO 14001, there is also the ISO 9001 certification for quality management systems. This is made to apply to any service and product produced by means of any process in any country worldwide. To know more regarding this particular standard, see iso.org/iso/catalogue_detail?csnumber=46486.

We have a pent up, unsatisfied demand for cycling in Toronto. And what a good thing that is -- less pollution, less noise, healthier population, less congestion, less carbon and happier people. So why can't we get it right? While we rip up, at great cost, the one real bike lane that was created and sit and debate whether to build a subway or LRT for the 47th time, bikers are getting killed and congestion becomes unbearable.
There's too much pitting of self-described "drivers" and "cyclists" against each other. Most North American families are actually multi-modal - they drive, walk, and probably take transit and bike in at least certain circumstances, if not routinely. Certainly many who cycle, also drive, and visa versa. We need a more sophisticated discussion about how we get around in cities, and it starts with this -- it's not about loving your bike. It's about loving what biking does for cities.
