The Evil Aunt
Basically, I worte this when I was 11 for an english homework. Enjoy :]
I looked up at the castle; I was half-way up the stairs. I stared at it, and then at the garden (which stereotypically was a graveyard). I knew that if I was gonna chicken out at anytime it should be now. (I haven't fully introduced myself my name is Brittany, Brittany Emma Patricia Saunders.) I was at this house to visit my evil great aunt Michelle. My mother told me off for calling her evil. She thinks she's just an old sick woman with a strict personality.
I personally like the name Michelle, My best friend is called Michelle. But Michelle is not like the Personality of my great aunt I would have called her Gertrude or Rita or something that would show that she was a big, erm a big… a big…meanie. No not meanie, that's childish, maybe cruel woman. Oh I don't know.
I finally decided to enter the castle…
I took one step, then another. I was startled when I heard my favourite singer Kiara De'Leon singing her no.1 single: Hit Lover. I slipped in shock, holding on by the edge of one of the raggedy I screamed at the top of my voice, "HELP, PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP MEEEEE!"
My voice was electric with fear, my face dripping with sweat and panic stricken tears. Suddenly I felt a slightly ghostly hand grab mine. I thought I was imagining it; I was dragged to the top of the stairs. I couldn't see because my eyes were stinging with tears of horror all I heard was a voice it whispered, "Don't go, you must stay at your own risk, IF YOU STAY YOU DIE, if you go you live a happy life," at this point I wasn't believing it, but the next thing it said really scared me: "Don't make the same mistake I did" a HUGE gust of wind blew and the voice trailed away.
I got up and dried my eyes, A young boy about 16 years old helped me up, "are you O.k., I was visiting my little sister when I heard you scream, her name was Lilly, Lilly Barnsley, I'm Paul, Paul Barnsley". At this moment I was startled by a scream of bats, followed by a scruffy old woman with a broom. She was waving the broom in the air, as the bats flew away she lowered the broom and giggled I looked for Paul but he had disappeared, must have been when the bats came. Strange. Then she saw me, her expression and voice changed, to a gruff, mean one.
"Brittany, the mistress is expecting you dear" My heart was pounding, racing and thumping all at the same time, I wondered tremblingly how she knew, my mother said to surprise her on her birthday. Ginny (the woman) helped me up because my leg crippled. As we entered the room, I looked around astonished at how classy the room was, a red and black flower wallpaper along with flowered sofas and chairs I got thrown onto one of the sofas when a young woman in what looked like a scullery maid outfit ran over to me with a silver platter crammed with tea, coffee and biscuits, placed them on the table.
I waited for a couple of minutes, but managed to scoff a couple of biscuits into my mouth and pocket. I decided to pour myself a cup of tea, I picked up the pot and began pouring then I heard a, "STOP THAT YOU CHEEKY GIRL" I squealed in shock dropping the teal all over me, I apologised for spilling the tea expecting a 'oh never mind that what about you?' but I forgot where I was and instead got a 'well you should be it'll take ages to clear that up'.
"My aunt Michelle I wish you a very happy birthday" She just murmured and walked away gesturing for me to come with her. I followed obediently, into a room full of spider webs and old chests. She said stop, so I did, while she walked over to the largest chest, opened it and pulled out a box…
She then walked towards me with an evil grin on her face, I backed away terrified. When she got to a black and red line she stopped and reached out her hand, the box was now in my possession. I opened it slowly in it was a ring. Very pretty, I couldn't think of what she was giving it to me for. I was in shock but also in a trance, I put the ring on not being able to control my actions. I tried to resist but it was impossible.
As I put it on I felt bigger more important, I looked in the mirror and saw myself changing…
My curly, brunet hair was changing to a blonde colour, and then my curls uncurled themselves becoming straight, I tried to stop it but I could feel the cold feeling that I've felt once before, I…I...can't remember, losing memories, feeling…sleepy, eyes closing…must stay awake…
As I opened my eyes, I saw my aunt looking over to me from across the room, her hair down looking stringy like straw, her eyes empty…nothing, just nothing. I tried to sit up but I ached everywhere, I thought I was in a hospital but as I looked up I realised I was in a dark, old fashioned room. When my aunt saw me awake, she looked around as her distressed face turned into an evil one, and as she smiled her eyes didn't, they were so blank, there was nothing, it was scary.
I closed my eyes and sat down, when I opened them; I was on my own I felt a chill I looked at the window.
It was closed.
I got up and brushed the dust of my jeans. Another chill, this time it felt like it was rushing around me. Nothing else in the room moved. I walked off, slowly not to disturb any spirits in the room…?

More Ways to Pay
If you've ever watched your child stand in front of the fridge for what seems like hours before deciding on a snack, you know that no matter how hard you may try to keep an energy-efficient home, there's no substitution for getting everyone involved.
One of the ways you can do this – and save money in the process – is by holding a family meeting to come up with new "house rules" for saving energy. Once your list is complete, post them in a place where they can't be missed – a bulletin board or by the front door. If they're not being followed, you can have the offender "donate" a quarter – or even a dollar – for each instance of a broken rule.
The money can go toward your electricity bill, new compact florescent light (CFL) bulbs or another "green" item you've had your eye on.
Here are a few ideas for house rules that can help you create a more energy-efficient home:

Author has written 4 stories for Inuyasha, Naruto, and Protector of the Small Quartet.
Hello there
I have kind of vanished from here for quite some time. Sorry I seem to have far to many interest for my time. In my time away from here I have begun Cosplaying at Anime St Louis, though I hope to get a chance to go to Dragon Con. I am also in the middle of getting my first BJD. This said reading my stories now they seem to be written by a different person completely. I know my grammar is bad and I should have re read them before posting them but at the time I did not car. Not only that but the flow can sometimes seem off. I will consider rewriting a few if I can talk my friend into helping me. I have realized the I have amazing ideas but I am not very good with transferring them into words and I think she may be able to help me with this. Now onto the important news.
The only story I am thinking of continuing is Wallflower. The reason is simple, its the only one I can still do justice. I no longer keep track of Inuyasha or Naruto therefor the plots would be wasted on me. I am going to offer to let my friend take over the Inuyasha story and if she does not want it someone else may try their hand at it. I will offer the same with my Naruto story sine none of my friends were followers of it. I will send all my original ideas for the plot but after that it will be your baby to care for.
if you wish to contact me i am most likely to be found here. Feel free to request some fanart, though I do enjoy trades. Due to glitches with the sites I no longer have a Gaiaonline or a Facebook. I am apart of Cosplay.com and DenOfAngels under the name ToasterPuppy. I have no problem with people sending me messages on there or simple email/pming me on here.
(NOTE: One of my pet peeves on here is about you people. Sure I love comments but I love when people tell me about why they like or hate my stories. I do not demand comments for no apparent reason like some do. If I am demanding a certain number it means I am hoping each person will tell me something that will help with my story. If you hate it please say more than that and tell me which part and why, or if it is grammar do not say I need someone to check it unless you know someone who would or are offering yourself. If you like, please say more than asking for updates or how much you like, say why you like it. This would make me updating so much quicker though I know few people actually will read this.)

Bangalore, Oct 1 (UNI) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Vice President and Karnataka-incharge Yashwant Sinha today asked Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy to step down and pave way for BJP to form the government under the agreement reached between them while forming the Coalition Government.
Ruling out talks on transfer of power with the JD(S), Mr Sinha told newspersons ''Now time has come for the JD(S) to redeem the pledge it made 20 months ago and hand over Chief Minister's post to Mr B S Yediyurappa.'' Recalling the agreement reached between the two alliance partners, he said ''there is no question of negotiation on the issue of transfer of power. The agreement should be implemented in toto.''

But Eliza Smith was, in fact, the Nigella Lawson of her day.
From sliced cow heels to a sauce of minced pig ears, she knew how to please an 18th century palate.
Even better, she had remedies for fevers, boils and baldness, and all the best tips for pickling and brewing.
So - like any celebrity chef worth their salt - she sold her secrets to the public.
Now a copy of her book The Compleat Housewife or Accomplish-d Gentlewoman's Companion, published in 1736, has surfaced at an auction house.
Scroll down for more
An extract from The Compleat Housewife
The 373-page work, which is leather-bound, is expected to fetch £800 when it goes under the hammer in May.
It offers an intriguing picture of life before the Industrial Revolution, only 70 years after the Great Plague.
Very little is known about the author, who is believed to have been born in the late 17th century. But she reveals in her preface that for over 30 years she had been employed 'in fashionable and noble Families'.
Auctioneer Charles Hanson, a regular on the BBC's Bargain Hunt antiques show, said: "What is clear is that Mrs Smith was very much the domestic goddess of her day.
"We do know that she worked for a number of fashionable houses and noble families of the time.
"Though many of her ideas sound alarming to us, she was very much in the tradition of what were known as 'ladies of taste' and highly respected."
The book lists more than 600 recipes for cakes, pastry, confectionery, and meals such as the sliced cow's feet and 'ragoo of pig's ear' garnished with 'barberies', or barberries, a bitter fruit.
Originally published in 1727 shortly before Smith's death it was revised 18 times over the following three decades. This seventh edition, which cost the original buyer five shillings, promised 'very large additions' including 'near fifty receipts being communicated just before the author's death'.
It also boasts 'above two-hundred family receipts of medicines' - including a remedy for boils using a newly-laid egg mixed with honey and a cure for 'spotted fever' with snake-weed, treacle and raspberry juice.
Mrs Smith also offers an unlikely-sounding remedy for baldness - involving 'two ounces of boar's grease, one dram of the ashes of burnt bees and one dram of the ashes of Southernwood'.
She says of her remedies: "They are all excellent in their kind and have cured when all other means have failed and are ready to serve the publick."
The book, of which only around 150 copies are thought to have been produced, was found at a valuation day run by Mr Hanson in Kings Bromley, Staffordshire.
Its owner, who does not want to be identified, came forward after Mr Hanson, of Hanson's Auctioneers, Lichfield, Staffordshire, sold a work by the man described as the Gordon Ramsay of his day.
The Accomplish'd Cook - the Art and Mastery of Cookery, penned by 17th century 'celebrity chef' Robert May in 1678, fetched £4,500 in January.

Word Frequency Distributions
€ 195,49
Lieferbar innerhalb von 2-3 Tagen
Juli 2001
BeschreibungThis book is a comprehensive introduction to the statistical analysis of word frequency distributions, intended for computational linguists, corpus linguists, psycholinguists, and researchers in the field of quantitative stylistics. Word frequency distributions are characterized by very large numbers of rare words. This property leads to strange phenomena such as mean frequencies that systematically change as the number of observations is increased, relative frequencies that even in large samples are not fully reliable estimators of population probabilities, and model parameters that vary with text or corpus size. Special statistical techniques for the analysis of distributions with large numbers of rare events can be found in various technical journals. The aim of this book is to make these techniques more accessible for non-specialists, both theoretically, by means of a careful introduction to the underlying probabilistic and statistical concepts, and practically, by providing a program library implementing the main models for word frequency distributions.
1. Word Frequencies.
2. Non-parametric models.
3. Parametric models.
4. Mixture distributions.
5. The Randomness Assumption.
6. Examples of Applications.
A. List of Symbols.
B. Solutions of the exercises.
C. Software.
D. Data sets. Bibliography. Index.

Steve Morison saw red and Millwall were left feeling blue after dropping potentially crucial Play-Off points in a dour Den draw against Bristol City.Unfortunately it was very much a case of after the Lord Mayor's Show as Kenny Jackett's men were not only frustrated by a tireless hard-working City side, but now face losing top scorer Morison for three matches following his ill-timed challenge on sub Jamal Campbell-Ryce deep into injury-time.On a night that saw sixth-placed Leeds United suffer a second successive loss at struggling Derby County, this was a perfect opportunity for The Lions to move even closer to the Play-Off spots.And although Jackett's men have now cut the points deficit to just three, Nottingham Forest have crept ahead of Millwall into seventh place.This was a night when patience, experience and cool heads were going to be key, but it simply turned out to be one of those frustrating games where very little went right for Millwall, although not for the want of trying."I thought in the first half we had to defend and did defend well," said Jackett."I was looking for the big build-up in the second half and to a degree it came. We had lots of corners, lots of pressure, but we didn't quite get that break."Jackett was forced to make two changes from the side that beat Leeds United at the weekend with both Jack Smith (hamstring) and Kevin Lisbie (ankle) ruled out through injury.Alan Dunne stepped in following a two match suspension to fill the right-back berth whilst Josh McQuoid was handed only his third start in a Lions shirt.In a frenetic first-half it was the visitors who settled into their stride and recorded their first corner with barely 45 seconds on the clock.Keeper David Forde reacted quickly barely one minute later, sprinting out to clear from the toes of Nicky Maynard after the Robins striker burst through, although the linesman did belatedly hold his flag up for offside.On eight minutes a somewhat wayward crossfield pass from James Henry was intended for Tony Craig, but intercepted by Albert Adomah who powered forward and despatched a teasing cross that Maynard headed over from 10 yards.The Lions mustered their first half-chance after 17 minutes; Henry's persistence on the right enabling the winger to whip over a cross that Morison glanced wide.Morison and strike partner McQouid nearly conjured up an opening goal a couple of minutes later with Morison's delightful reverse pass picked up by the young hitman who turned smartly and hit an angled left-foot drive wide of the far post.Paul Robinson headed narrowly wide from Townsend's 34th minute free-kick before City squandered a glorious opportunity to break the deadlock.Left-back Craig, who was replaced at the break by Scott Barron, miscued a header, the ball fell invitingly for Brett Pitman but with a clear sight of goal, he softly scooped the ball straight into the grateful hands of keeper Forde.After the break Millwall did have more zip and urgency about their play with Barron's deep cross held well by keeper David James and then Tamika Mkandawire saw his fierce drive deflected over for one of nine second-half corners.At the other end Forde did well to parry a low drive from Martyn Woolford with Robinson's outstretched right leg steering the loose ball to safety.Morison then lobbed wide following a long upfield punt by Robinson and James Henry's left foot curler flew narrowly over as The Lions tried to work up a head of steam.But it was the visitors who spurned a gilt-edged opportunity to clinch all three points four minutes from time.The flag stayed down as Maynard sprinted through a static defence, but keeper Forde raced out of his goal and spread himself brilliantly to smother the striker's effort.That relief turned to a fresh sense of expectation when five additional minutes of extra-time were held up by the fourth official.But with just two of those minutes gone, a rush of blood to the head by Morison saw the striker's rash challenge on Campbell-Ryce deep in his own half reduce The Lions to 10 men, and any realistic hope of grabbing a late winner were effectively gone.Although the final whistle produced a smattering of boos from the home fans, there are still five games to go, 15 points up for grabs and most definitely everything still to play for starting at Coventry City this Saturday.

St. Luke's and Roosevelt Hospital Center, New York, NY
Purpose: The Centers for Disease Control have published guidelines for the prevention of Catheter Related Blood Stream Infection (CLABI). The interventions emphasize several distinct practices including education and training of healthcare providers, and utilizing maximum sterile barrier precautions (MBP) during central vein catheterization (CVC). Residents most frequently learn CVC by the "see one, do one, teach one" or by watching videotapes. It is not clear if utilization of medical simulation environment that replicates ICU setting to train medical residents in correct MBP is superior to traditional training methods.
Methods: We randomly assigned 2nd and 3rd year medical residents to video (V) only training or video training plus debriefing (V+D) after baseline assessment of each resident's MBP technique. The primary end point was medical residents' performance score improvement (PSI) in MBP technique during CVC. The secondary end points were CLABI rate in Medical Intensive Care Units (MICU).
Results: 47 medical residents completed the study. After baseline assessment of each resident's performance in MBP, 23 residents were randomized to (V) group and 24 residents were randomized to (V+D) group. Median baseline scores in both groups were equally poor: 13 out of 24 maximum score (54%). After training, both groups improved their median scores with median score and PSI in V+D group significantly better that group V: Median score 18 (75%) for V group, and 22 (92%) for V+D group (p < 0.001), and PSI 5 for group V vs. 10 for V+D group (p = 0.002). MICU CLABI rate post training completion decreased by 41% from 3.4 to 2.0 and by 47% from 3.4 to 1.8 at 6-month and one-year respectively compared to one year before.
Conclusions: Simulation-based training in MBP during CVC is superior to traditional video training and may be associated with decrease CLAB rate in MICU.
Clinical Implications: Future training in MBP techniques during CVC may be modified to include simulation-based training. Such initiative may have significant impact on nosocomial infection and improved patient safety.

Anna Lindh was stabbed several times in the arms, chest and stomach by the assailant, who fled the scene.
Police said they did not believe the stabbing was politically motivated, but a visibly shaken prime minister Goeran Persson told reporters: 'The attack on her is an attack on our open society and because of this I am feeling great anger and dismay.'
Swedes vote on Sunday in a national referendum on whether to adopt the single European currency.
Mr Persson said he and his fellow euro supporters, of whom Mrs Lindh is one, would postpone their campaigning until further notice. He didn't say whether the referendum would be put back.
Mrs Lindh, a Social Democrat who was married with two children, was shopping - without bodyguards - in the Nordiska Kompaniet store
when the knifeman struck just before 4pm.
An eyewitness reported seeing a man in a camouflage jacket chase her up an escalator from the basement.
'She fell on the floor and the man was stabbing her in the stomach, ' said the onlooker.
The shopper ran to Mrs Lindh, who told her: 'God, he has stabbed me in the stomach!' She was stretchered out of the building. Police are still hunting the attacker, who dropped the knife at the scene.
Meanwhile Mrs Lindh and her allies' hopes of joining the euro suffered a setback yesterday.
A Gallup survey showed 47 per cent of voters would reject the single currency, while only 35 per cent backed the euro, down three per cent on a week ago.
And a separate poll of European political analysts revealed 32 out of 38 said Sweden would vote against the euro in Sunday's referendum.
They expect the No camp to win 53 per cent, with around 46 percent voting Yes.
But the fact that 18 per cent of voters remain undecided means a question mark will hang over the result until the polls close.
Those who think the final count will show a vote in favour of the single currency cite the 1994 referendum on joining the EU.
Then, despite opinion polls predicting a defeat for the pro-EU government, the No vote totalled 46.8 per cent, while the Yes vote was 52.3 per cent - those who were undecided swung the final result.

First aired on Babel (23/7/12)
Creative new words are popping up daily on the internet, in boardrooms and in classrooms. A recent study by Harvard University and Google shows that English has been expanding by 8,500 words per year, and it now stands at more than a million. And English is growing at an exponential rate, with 70 per cent of those million words being since just 1950. But what does this mean for how we use the English language? Babel host Mariel Borelli talked to University of Toronto professor of linguistic anthropology Marcel Danesi to find out.
Danesi says that when we think about language use, we have to keep in mind that everyone has two kinds of vocabulary: passive and active. The passive vocabulary depends on the individual, but can range from 300 words to 2,000 or 3,000 words. But these include words that require context to understand or definitions we have memorized. Our active vocabulary consists of the words we use every day, "when you're communicating unconsciously, regularly, routinely," Danesi said, and this ranges from 300 to 400 words for almost everybody.
Having both a passive and active vocabulary isn't new. But what's changed, Danesi says, is how we populate and use our active vocabulary. With new words popping up faster than ever, our active vocabulary is changing more rapidly than ever before. "It's being peppered with items that come and go in it fast and quickly," Danesi explained, including terms like "deletable," "locavore" and "Twittersphere." And, as language trends pass, the terms leave our active vocabulary as well. Danesi estimates that out of the 400 terms in our active vocabulary, 100 or so are "trendy words" that will slip in and out of your vocabulary as language trends come and go.
But why is English growing so quickly? Danesi has several theories. "English is the most pliable and the most used language in the world today," he said. First, it's easier for English to adopt the words of other languages, such as à la carte (French), burrito (Spanish) and lager (German). Second, English makes it easy to create new words by putting two nouns together to make a new easy-to-understand word, such as software, laptop and blackboard. These words are difficult to translate into other languages, which only helps in popularizing them as other languages also adopt them. Third, as we embark on social, technological and scientific changes, we need new words. Hence, Twittersphere and locavore.
But as just as we're keen to create and adopt new terms, Danesi says, we as a society are also quick to abandon them. And the digitization of communication, including dictionaries, means it's a lot easier for a word to be put into popular use -- and it's a lot easier to discard it once we no longer need it. Words are a commodity. "[They] serve a purpose like any object, any commodity does," he said. "We discard things all the time, we are stir crazy for new things all the time and the language reflects that."

Colour Correcting: Everything You Need To Know About 2016's Hottest Beauty Trend
Thanks to Instagram, we've been introduced to a bunch of different beauty trends (non-touring and strobing, anyone?). And while we'll leave the clown contouring and baking to the pros, there is one big 2016 beauty trend we're willing to get behind: colour correcting.
Colour correcting is essentially using different concealer shades to neutralize or camouflage skin imperfections. It's based on "colour harmony" principles wherein opposite colour hues cancel each other out.
So excited to collab with @tianacosmetics for this crazy entire face color correcting💃🏼🎉💖 DISCLAIMER: just having fun 😜 this is by no means meant for every day use 😘 show us your #colorcorrectingclash Products used: Brush: @sigmabeauty percision 3DHD kabuki @maybelline master glaze in coral sheen (aka red stuff under my eyes) @maybelline fitme concealer stick in light @nyxcosmetics color correcting concealer kit (A MUST HAVE) @vegas_nay lashes in #shiningstar 🌟 #vegasnaylashes @toofaced #bornthisway foundation @gerardcosmetics lippie in "Vintage Rose" code "Nicol25" for 💰off @lauragellerbeauty highlighter in gilded honey @morphebrushes 35O palette use code "NICOL" for💰off @urbandecaycosmetics blush in "kinky" @anastasiabeverlyhills brow wiz in caramel @norvina All brushes are from @morphebrush use code "NICOL" for 10% off purchase
But colour correcting isn't anything new — it's a technique that's been used by makeup artists and beauty pros for quite some time now. However, it's now making its way into the mass market at a much grander scale.
According to Adi Lando, Sephora's Pro Lead in Canada, colour correcting is a quick, extra step to "ensure a flawless, even skin tone."
"Colour correcting products are designed to pinpoint and neutralize common skin imperfections such as blemishes, discoloration, hyper pigmentation, and dark circles, in order to better prep your skin for a concealer," Lando told HuffPost Canda Style via email. "When using a concealer to cover a blemish, for example, the redness surrounding the blemish might still show through the concealer, because the base colour has not been neutralized to match that of the rest of the skin.
"By prepping with a colour corrector, you are ensuring that you are starting with an even base, and that your foundation and concealer can do their jobs more effectively."
If you're looking to camouflage redness or blemishes, opt for a green colour corrector. Yellow is great for combating a dull complexion, while purple counteracts the sallowness of the skin. And if you're looking to brighten up your skin, opt for peaches and pinks if you have a lighter skin tone, or caramel shades to conceal hyperpigmentation and combat dark spots on darker skin tones.
It's important to note, however, that colour correcting products are not specifically designed to fix the problems long-term. (If you are looking for a long-term fix, Lando recommends Sunday Riley Tidal Brightening Enzyme Water Cream to even out dark spots and hyperpigmentation, or Ole Henriksen Truth Sugar Glow Polishing Mask, which uses ingredients like sugar, rose hips, and pomegranate seeds to polish dead, dull skin and naturally brighten and boost radiance.)
If you want to try colour correcting, simply use the proper colour corrector that suits your needs (ie. redness or dull complexion) and apply to the target area. Once you're done, continue on with the rest of your makeup routine as you normally would.
Ready to try out the trend? Check out our fave colour correcting products below:
Rather than buying several different products to correct and conceal, Sephora has made it easy with this Sephora + PANTONE Universe Correct + Conceal Palette. The kit features 15 concealer and corrector shades to target everything from dark circles to redness and hyperpigmentation. Both of the two palettes are organized for three different skin tones, which is especially great for the summer when you get more tan. And the best part? It comes with a handy booklet with application instructions from the Sephora Pro team. $61. Available at Sephora.
Similar to the Sephora palette, Tarte's version features numbered shades and a coordinating visual guide to make colour correcting and concealing easy. Bonus: You can use the darker shades for contouring. $54. Available at Sephora.
What sets Stila's colour correcting palette apart from others is that it features cream and powder formulas. The two finishing powders not only even out the skin tone and set the correcting creams, but they also minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines while hydrating and providing oil control. $59. Available at Shoppers Drug Mart, Murale and beautyBOUTIQUE.ca.
If you're not ready to shell out that much cash on a colour correcting palette, try NYX's version. It's a fan-fave and will only set you back $14! $14. Available at nyxcosmetics.ca.
Marc Jacobs Beauty Cover(t) Stick is perfect for girls on the go, as each compact stick comes in formulated shade filters in marbleized dual hues for easy colour correcting: Bright Now to eliminate dullness, Co(vert) Affairs to neutralize redness, and Getting Warmer to conceal hyperpigmentation and cancel out dark circles. $45 each. Available at Sephora.
If you prefer a creamy concealer-type formula, try Sephora Collection's Bright Future Color Correctors. It comes in five shades (green, yellow, peach, pink and melon), and has a gel-serum formula that is light and buildable. These are best for using on the under-eye area, blemishes and areas around the nose and mouth. $18 each. Available at Sephora.
Urban Decay also has a cream concealer-type version as part of its "Naked Skin" line. It's lightweight and blends easily for nice, even application. Urban Decay's version also features one more colour (purple) than the Sephora Collection selection. $35 each. Available at Sephora.
If you're crazy about cushion compacts, you'll love Lancome's Miracle CC Cushion Colour Correcting Primer. Available in four shades (purple, green, peach and yellow), this formula features pine extract to lighten up irregular skin tones and gradually reduces discolouration and spots through its skin renewing properties. In short, it will actually help correct, unlike most colour correcting products on the market. It's also great for soothing inflammation-induced discolouration as it cools the skin by 2.3°C immediately upon application. $45 each. Available at Lancome counters nationwide and lancome.ca.
Those with darker skin tones looking for colour correction should try BECCA Cosmetics' Backlight Targeted Colour Corrector in "Papaya" or "Peach." They'll neutralize your complexion and add some luminosity to blur the look of imperfections. It's also available in "Violet" and "Pistachio" for lighter skin tones in need of colour correcting. $34. Available at Sephora.
These creamy sticks from Smashbox are perfect for popping in your bag when you're on the go and in need of a touch up. The rounded pencil point makes application super easy, and you can also use it wet or dry, depending on your needs. $24 each. Available in four shades at Sephora.

Broncos will not exercise fifth-year option on Sylvester Williams
Executive Vice President/General Manager John Elway opted to forego picking up the fifth-year option on Sylvester Williams,Brandon Browner Jersey which will make him an unrestricted free agent next year unless a contract extension is signed.
Had the Broncos chosen to pick up the option,Ryan Shazier Jersey the money would have been guaranteed only for injury until the start of the 2017 league year, at which point it would have become fully guaranteed.Giovani Bernard Jersey
Elway indicated after the NFL Draft on Saturday that Williams' role might be too limited to justify a potential one-year salary of approximately $6.75 million,Arizona Cardinals Jerseys which is where he believed Williams' number would fall if the Broncos picked up the option.
"It's a big [cap] number,Denver Broncos Jersey" Elway said on Saturday. "We'd like to have him back,Cowboys Store but that's what we were trying to figure out, if that number makes sense.Giants Store"
Williams started 18 of 19 games last year, but worked mostly in the base package on first and second downs,Packers Store with three/five-technique ends like Derek Wolfe, Vance Walker,Panthers Store Antonio Smith and Malik Jackson handling the vast majority of sub-package work.
As a result,Patriots Store he played 48.7 percent of the downs in the regular season and 40.2 percent of the defensive snaps in the playoffs. Wolfe played 112 more regular-season snaps than Williams in spite of missing four games due to a suspension.


text: Wyler is in dire need of re-evaluation. Maybe his films have not been available in good prints for many years, or maybe not at all. But he was more than just a theatrical journeyman director. People always talk about The Best Years of Our Lives (a masterpiece); Wuthering Heights; Ben-Hur; The Big Country; and maybe Mrs. Miniver. But what about Dodsworth (another masterpiece); Jezebel; The Letter; The Little Foxes, etc. etc. Catch these films in 35mm prints, or (dare we hope?) BDs, and you might see things differently. For the record, I've seen all of Wyler's films except 4 from 1929-30, and one from 1935. Wyler knew how to get the best from his actors, but he also knew about camera placement, framing and angles; deep focus; editing, etc. One doesn't have to be showy to demonstrate one's craft. BTW, all the directors that have been mentioned by others in this thread are great directors as well. All of them made turkeys during their careers. That doesn't lessen their overall artistic achievements.

BEIJING (AP) – China's legislature designated Dec. 4 as Constitution Day on Sunday amid a drive to strengthen the authority of the country's legal system.
The move by the National People's Congress' Standing Committee aims to increase awareness of the constitution, promote its spirit, and strengthen its implementation. The holiday will be marked by activities to promote the constitution around the country, Xinhua said.
China has enacted a total of four constitutions since the founding of the communist state in 1949, with the current version adopted in 1982.
The new holiday is part of President Xi Jinping's "rule of law" campaign seen as an attempt to institutionalise the powers of the ruling Communist Party while reducing corruption and improving government efficiency.
Critics have pointed to numerous contradictions inherent in the campaign, primarily the party's firm rejection of calls for independent supervision under the constitution, whose first article forbids any challenge to the country's socialist system.
China's constitution also enshrines the concept of freedom of speech and other basic human rights which the ruling communist party has severely restricted.

Hurricane Iselle Downgraded to Tropical Storm as It Nears Hawaii
HONOLULU (AP) -- The first storm in a one-two punch that sent Hawaii scrambling to brace itself weakened on its approach to the state, while a second system close behind was largely expected to pass north of the islands.
The National Weather Service downgraded Iselle to a tropical storm about 50 miles before it was expected to make landfall early Friday in the southern part of Hawaii's Big Island.
Wind and rain from the system still had enough force to knock down trees, cause power outages and block roads on the Big Island, however. No deaths or major injuries were reported.
Iselle was classified as a tropical storm 11 p.m. Thursday Hawaii Standard Time when its winds slowed to 70 mph, putting it below the minimum of 74 mph for a hurricane.
The storm was weakening because of several factors, including wind shear chopping at the system and the Big Island's terrain above the water, said Chris Brenchley, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Honolulu.
"As wind blows into the terrain, the terrain kind of redirects the wind," he said.
Nevertheless, Iselle is expected to be the first tropical storm to actually hit the state in 22 years, and another hurricane is following in its path. Hurricane Julio, a Category 3 storm, is about 1,000 miles behind in the Pacific.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Sporting a cast on his fractured right hand, Chicago Bears nickelback Isaiah Frey returned to practice in a limited fashion on Thursday, while defensive end Shea McClellin (hamstring) participated fully for a second straight day. Both players are expected to be on the field Sunday when the Bears battle the St. Louis Rams.
"Shea practiced full today so we feel good about that," Bears coach Marc Trestman said. "[We feel good about] getting some people back. Isaiah worked noncontact [drills] today and was limited."
Right tackle Jordan Mills (quadriceps) and long-snapper Patrick Mannelly (calf) also practiced without restrictions.
Safety Craig Steltz (concussion) and defensive tackle Jeremiah Ratliff were limited. Trestman effectively ruled out Ratliff for the Rams game, but Steltz appears to be making progress after being on the wrong end of a nasty collision while covering a kickoff last week versus the Baltimore Ravens.
Starting defensive tackle Stephen Paea (toe) missed practice for the second consecutive day and is unlikely to play Sunday in St. Louis.
The Bears officially ruled out weakside linebacker Lance Briggs (shoulder) and quarterback Jay Cutler (ankle) earlier in the week, but Cutler seems to be on the mend. The quarterback attended practice again Thursday without a hard cast on his left leg to protect his high-ankle sprain. Cutler simply wore a brace on the ankle and stood on the field for much of the workout that is open to the media.
Trestman was asked if Cutler is permanently out of the hard cast.
"I really don't have an answer for you," Trestman said. "It's really a week-to-week thing. Really, on the cast or the brace he has, it might be a day-to-day thing. But I'm really not any more informed than that. Other than that, I know Jay is going to be week-to-week. I said day-to-day [Wednesday]; I meant week-to-week. … And we'll see where he is. You see him in practice. You're getting a good idea of where he's at. You see him moving around, trying to move around during the individual periods that you're out there to see and get a good idea of where he's at. And hopefully he won't have to have the cast put on."

I bought the table chair set for my grandaughter thinking, at the price it's probable made of pressed wood or some other that can be manufactured as fast as they can and cheap as they can! When it arrived and I assembled the table & Chairs. I couldn't help to notice that it was made of solid wood and varnished to a shine that made me want to place it in my living room.
Good product for the money. Table was smaller than I expected. The color was more red than the picture looked like. A few dings on the wood, but nothing that would require sending back. Overall a good value.

Molecular 'Calcium Sponge' Developed To Tackle Heart Failure
Within heart cells, calcium plays a major role in orchestrating normal heart pump function. However, in diastolic failure the calcium signaling process is slowed; calcium levels rise to the peak needed for the squeezing action of the heart but don't then drop quickly enough for an efficient relaxation period - the condition known as diastolic heart failure.
University researchers were able to pinpoint a specific protein, parvalbumin - which aids in high-speed relaxation of fast twitching muscles in nature - and optimize it to become a calcium sponge for heart muscle. As a result, the optimized protein, ParvE101Q, soaks up excess calcium at a precise instant, allowing the heart to relax efficiently after contraction.
The advance offers a solid conceptual step forward in solving the puzzle of diastolic heart failure. The next step will be determining the best possible small molecule or gene delivery mechanism for the protein, which should allow the discovery to be used in clinics.
Their approach is outlined in the latest issue of Nature Medicine.
"In nature, there are unique organisms known to be able to contract and relax muscles quickly," said Joseph M. Metzger, Ph.D., a University of Minnesota Medical School professor and chair of the Department of Integrative Biology and Physiology. "We hoped research and discovery could help identify what was promoting this highly efficient activity so we could harness it for use in the heart. We've discovered that our optimized variation of parvalbumin can fulfill that role by treating diastolic heart failure."
According to Metzger, who also serves as the Maurice B. Visscher Endowed Chair in Physiology, the sponge mechanism works as a temporary depot for calcium along its normal pathway. It increases productivity in the relaxation phase of the heart cycle without negatively impacting the contracting phase.
If they can develop an ideal delivery system for the optimized protein, the researchers believe they may have found a unique clinical application to treat diastolic heart failure. Heart failure is a common killer of both men and women across the country and the rate of heart failure is increasing as our population ages and as the survival rate after recovery from first heart attack goes up.
"Heart disease and heart failure rates are growing, especially as our population ages. We hope this type of discovery may one day help pave the way to a better way to treat patients," said Metzger.
Collaborating with University of Minnesota investigators were researchers from the University of Miami (FL) Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine and The Ohio State University College of Medicine.
Funding for this project was provided in part by the National Institutes of Health via grants HL115876, HL59301, HL71016. Researchers also received support from the American Heart Association, the Lillehei Heart Institute, the University of Minnesota Medical School and the Visscher Endowed Chair.

A catalytic converter performs a series of reactions that convert CO into CO2 and completes the combustion of unburned HC's (reduces VOC emissions). A 3-way catalytic converter also breaks down nitric oxides (NOx) into N2 (Not N2O – which is a very strong greenhouse gas).
Emphysema destroys the walls of the alveoli of the lungs, resulting in a loss of surface area available for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide during breathing. This produces symptoms of shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing. In severe emphysema, difficulty in breathing leads to decreased oxygen intake, which causes headaches and symptoms of impaired mental ability.

Little Life Changes Inspired by the Science of HappinessBy Kira M. Newman | September 28, 2015 | 0 comments
Students share what they've gained from taking our free online happiness course.
"How have you changed your life since starting The Science of Happiness?"
That's the question we posed to over 50,000 students taking the free online course, conducted by the UC Berkeley Greater Good Science Center—and the answers were inspiring.
Meredith, for example, has been battling cancer. "I am working so hard to keep my mind happy and focused so I can return to work happy, not bitter or angry," she said. The course inspired her to start taking morning power walks—rain or shine—that give her a sense of control and peace. She signed up for a painting course and is thinking of learning guitar and studying mindfulness.
"The importance of being aware is more key than the happiness itself," she has learned.
Meanwhile, Geraldine was feeling down and unmotivated, but our wonderful community of GG101xers on Facebook showed up to offer support. One day later, she wrote, "What a difference 24 hours makes. I feel like a completely different person to yesterday." Some of the course material inspired her to seek out small positive moments: feeling the sun shining in the park, seeing a seal at the beach.
"It made me feel happy and privileged to be in that place at that time and I would have missed it all if I hadn't made that choice to do something positive," she said.
Other students have taken the happiness practices to heart, and are working on exercises like Three Good Things and Active Listening. Marge tried both with her partner, and was pleased with the results:
"I was surprised how much [Three Good Things] did upturn my mood in general. I'd talk about it with my partner, and he would suggest things for me, then he'd verbally say three things for himself. It has lifted his mood. I also did the Active Listening practice with him [and] we had a very positive experience: What he said wasn't anything I hadn't heard before, but the way I listened and responded was different, and it was a good moment between us."
Sounds like a great habit to keep up!
Geraldine found support in the GG101x community, and many other students love the experience of interacting with other happiness enthusiasts from the far corners of the world—or right in their hometown. Leslie was ushering an event at her community center in San Francisco when she mentioned the course to a fellow usher…who already knew about it!
Mazen shared on our Facebook group. "It's just simply amazing seeing all this positivity shining around this group," he said. "This is definitely one of my three good things today."

text: This will be my first ever Xmas without the kids as they are going to their Dad's this year, so Col and I are thinking of going away. We can only go between 22nd and 27th so that cuts out expensive places like NY, plus with all the travel time it wouldn't be worth it. Can anyone suggest anywhere really nice and up to £300 each? I thought about Prague or Vienna but haven't a clue where to start really. Is DLP expensive over Xmas?
