After the excitement of Christmas and the champagne-fuelled celebrations of New Year's Eve, you might be ready to hang up your party shoes, but now is a perfect time to snag a travel bargain. Whether you want to shed your winter woollies at a tropical beach resort or hit the ski slopes in the Swiss Alps, make it your New Year's resolution to tick off at least one of these destinations this month. Here are the top choices for where to go in January.
Buenos Aires
With temperatures soaring and many locals escaping to the coast, midsummer can be a good time to score a bargain in Buenos Aires. If you can stand the humidity, this is the time to explore the sights without the crowds or relax in the city's many parks. Wander around the magnificent Recoleta cemetery, home to Evita's grave; take a picnic to the Bosques de Palermo; watch the street tango dancers at San Telmo's Sunday market; or take a day trip to nearby Tigre, where you can take a scenic cruise along the river delta.
Serving up sun, sea and sand all four seasons, there's no bad time of year to visit Hawaii and there are plenty of festivities to keep you busy in January. Oahu kicks off its three-month long Cherry Blossom Festival, followed by the Chinese New Year on Jan. 31; the Pacific Islands Arts Festival celebrates traditional arts and crafts in Honolulu; and the Maui Whale Festival is held in honor of the annual humpback whale migration, making it the ideal time for whale watching cruises.
Even if you missed out on a white Christmas, it's not too late to hit the ski slopes and what better place to spend the winter months than Whistler, British Colombia's snow-blanketed wonderland? Powder junkies can make the most of the winter sport hotspot with plenty of ski and snowboard runs to choose from, but even if you don't fancy hitting the slopes, you can still get your kicks snowmobiling, tubing, zip lining or dog sledding, or strap on some snowshoes for a hike in the snow. With the Christmas crowds heading home, resorts will also be quieter in January and the lull in business is often reflected in the prices, so keep a look out for special deals at the ski schools and lodges.
New Orleans
As the proud host of the biggest Mardi Gras celebrations in the U.S., New Orleans takes its Fat Tuesday celebrations seriously and preparations will already be underway this month for the big event. If you can't make it for March 4, you can still soak up the carnival spirit with a visit to Mardi Gras World, where you can tour the workshops and watch as local artisans craft the magnificent floats and flamboyant costumes for the dazzling Mardi Gras parade.
Central America
With the weather warm and dry, and plenty of post-holidays deals to be found, January is an ideal time to head south and explore Central America. Burn off those extra Christmas calories with a hike through the famous Mayan ruins of Tikal in Guatemala; a zip-lining adventure in the cloud forests of Costa Rica; or a snorkeling or scuba diving trip through Belize's famous Shark Ray Alley. If that sounds a bit too active, you could always opt for a cruise around the Bay Islands in Honduras, a spot of sightseeing in Panama City, or just hit the beach and top up your fading summer tan.
Over in Europe, Venice is another city getting geared up for the upcoming Carnevale (this year kicking off on Feb. 15) and the souvenir stores will be crammed with colorful Venetian masks. Visiting Venice in January means you'll have to wrap up warm, but don't let the chilly weather stop you from enjoying the sights and making the most of low season prices. Check out the rowing race along the Grand Canal on Jan. 6; get glammed up for a show at the Teatro La Fenice opera house; escape the cold and explore Venice's many museums and galleries; or huddle up with friends in a waterfront coffee shop.
With endlessly sunny days, balmy nights and the high season crowds keeping the party going well into the New Year, Bangkok is a lively place to spend the first few weeks of 2014. The biggest event of the month is the Chinese New Year on Jan. 31, when the city's Chinatown comes alive with an enormous dragon parade, a colorful display of paper lanterns, live music and dancing, and a mass of oriental street food stalls. Even you're not in town for the festivities, you can still take in the sights of Bangkok, bag some bargains at the city's legendary night markets; or take a day trip to the nearby Khao Yai National Park, where you can trek through the jungle on an elephant.
Winter in Morocco is cooler but still warm enough for sightseeing, so head to Marrakesh where you can get lost in the labyrinth of souks, dig into steaming tagine in the bustling Djemaa el Fna square, or stroll around the opulent Bahia Palace. There's no reason to only stay in the city though – take a trip through the snowy Atlas mountains, then warm up with a trek through the Sahara desert by camel, or head to the coastal resorts like Tangier and Essaouira, where surfers will be braving the winter waters to catch some of the biggest waves of the year.
Temperatures might not dip as low as they do in northern Europe, but there's still a chill in the air in Barcelona this month, so layer-up your clothes before you head out sightseeing. Once you've strolled around the Barri Gotic, Gaudí's colorful Park Güell and La Boqueria Market, there are plenty of ways to get warm, like checking out the Picasso Museum and the Joan Miró Museum, wine or cava tasting in the Catalan wine region, or learning to make tapas with a local cooking class. Alternatively, take a day trip to the mountaintop monastery of Montserrat or hop over the border to nearby Andorra, where you can hit the ski slopes, stock up on tax-free goods and add another stamp to your passport.
Dominican Republic
It's always summertime in the Caribbean and January is one of the most popular times to visit the Dominican Republic, with the beach and golf resorts of Punta Cana brimming with tourists. There's more to the sun-soaked country than its pristine beaches though, so take the time to explore the UNESCO-listed Zona Colonial; enjoy a whale watching cruise around Samana Bay; tour a traditional cigar factory; or get active with a speed boat ride, a dune buggy adventure or a scuba diving course.
Interlaken, Switzerland
Few European destinations can compete with Switzerland when it comes to breathtaking winter scenery, and Interlaken's mix of icy lakes, looming peaks and alpine villages provide a magical backdrop for a January break. Nestled in the foothills of the Bernese Alps, Interlaken is also Switzerland's adventure sports capital so prepare to get your pulse racing as you hike in the hills, take a horseback ride around the lake, or plummet from the sky on a death-defying bungee jump. Of course, winter brings with it plenty of powder too, and Interlaken is perfectly situated for visiting the nearby ski resorts, as well as offering activities like ice-skating and snowshoeing around the lakelands.
Key West, Florida
As the southernmost point in the U.S. (not counting Hawaii), the small island of Key West is a top retreat for sun-loving travelers and the party mood will be continuing into the New Year with events like the Key West Food and Wine Festival, Key West Race Week and the Florida Keys Seafood Festival all held in January. Once you've made the most of the island's renowned beaches and nightlife, save some time for a visit to the Ernest Hemingway House Museum, where the iconic literary star once lived; spot dolphins on a cruise around the coast; or learn to fish in the Key West backcountry waters.
With the mercury plummeting as low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit in some parts of the country, you won't have to look far to find snow in Norway and skiers will be in their element as they tackle some of Europe's best cross-country ski routes. Alternatively, brave the world famous Holmenkollen Ski Jump; hurtle through the snow on a dog sled; try your hand at snowmobiling, ski kiting or snowshoeing; or spend a night in an ice hotel. January is also one of the best months for Northern Lights viewing expeditions and catching sight of the dramatic arctic lightshow is sure to be the highlight of your trip.
If you've had enough of frosty mornings and thermal jumpers, swap skiing for surfing in Chile, where the South American summer is in full swing and the beaches will be filling up with sunbathers. Viña del Mar, Algarrobo and La Serena are among the most popular coastal resorts, where you can learn to surf or body board, go snorkeling or scuba diving, or relax in traditional fishing villages like Valparaiso. January is also prime time for whale spotting along the Otway Sound or hiking in the Andes.
The rising star of the Middle East makes a popular choice for both cruise visitors and luxury travelers, and with ocean, mountains and desert all in close proximity, there's truly something for everyone in Oman. Explore the capital's many sights like the grand Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, with a walking tour of Muscat; take a day trip around the historic forts of Nizwa; or opt for a 4×4 safari through the Hajar Mountains.
It might be the dry season in the Philippines but there is still a plethora of ways to get wet. Choose from snorkeling with whale sharks; diving amidst colorful corals and Japanese WWII wreckages; learning to surf on Siargo Island; or kite surfing along the coast of Boracay. Of course, there's a lot to do on dry land too, like hiking through the UNESCO-listed rice terraces of the Ifugao province, scaling the Mount Mayon volcano, or hitting the legendary nightclubs and karaoke bars of Manila.
Madeira, Portugal
Marooned in the Atlantic between Portugal and Morocco and blessed with year-round sun, Madeira has long been a favored destination of European package tourists, but there's more to the pint-sized island than its beach resorts. Islanders will be celebrating their unique natural landscapes this month with the annual five-day Madeira Islands Walking Festival, so they'll be lots of opportunities to explore under the guidance of local experts. A vast network of trails follow the island's many levadas (historic irrigation channels) through sub-tropical rainforests and traditional villages, along soaring coastal cliffs and rugged mountain peaks, and around the neighboring island of Porto Santo.
Goa, India
The smallest Indian state is also the country's most popular winter sun destination and tourist hotspots like Agonda, Baga, Calangute and Varca are sure to be teeming with sun-seekers this month. If the white sand beaches, striking colonial architecture and bohemian party scene aren't enough, January also brings a number of celebrations like the Three Kings Festival, the Makar Sankranti Hindu festival and India's Republic.
Perth, Australia
Escape the insufferable heat of Queensland and the Northern Territory, and spend this month on Australia's west coast instead, where the cosmopolitan state capital of Perth offers a wealth of natural attractions to enjoy. King's Park will be the focal point of summer fun hosting an outdoor cinema, open-air Shakespeare performances and live music concerts. Alternatively, enjoy snorkeling, surfing or sunbathing at the city beaches; tour the wineries of the Margaret River; cuddle up with koalas and kangaroos at Perth Zoo; or go swimming with wild dolphins.
After the four-day extravaganza of Hogmanay to welcome in the New Year, you might assume January would be quiet month in Scotland, but those hard partying Scots still have a few tricks up their sleeve. Most unique is the Up Helly Aa festival, held on the final Tuesday of January in Lerwick, the capital of the remote Shetland Islands. A riotous celebration of the islands' ancient Nordic ties, the annual event is Europe's largest fire festival and culminates in a dramatic parade of costumed Vikings and the ritualistic burning of a replica Viking Longship. Also in January is Burns Night, held in honor of Scotland's national poet, Robert Burns, and celebrated all around the country with pubs serving up traditional 'Burns Suppers' — haggis, neeps and tatties (mashed turnips and potatoes), and cock-a-leekie soup, washed down with plenty of Scotch whisky.

Published: February 7, 1988
To the Editor: I read with great interest your coverage on travel-study in England - Cambridge and Oxford (Travel, Jan. 10). In fact, the bit on Corpus Christi, Cambridge, brought smiles to me because some years ago I myself was a student at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, with Dr. E. J. Wolff's University of Detroit program there, and as part of our program we visited our sister school in Cambridge.
Jane Rosen is absolutely right about accommodations in Cambridge. The July weekend we visited the college the temperature was close to 45 degrees and pouring rain. I had to use the facilities at night and, alas, through rain and cold had to find my way down a creaky staircase, slog outside into the unlit courtyard and into another staircase to find the ''loo.'' I was ecstatic to return to my cozy room in Oxford, overlooking pastoral Christ Church meadow. It had a washbasin, a complete bath next door, and a mattress miraculously improved by the board my Welsh scout, Ruby, gave me for my bed. JOHN STELLA Detroit

Jake Plummer used to rub footballs on the grass before games to improve grip
Former Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer used to take footballs from the ball boy and rub them on the grass to give them extra grip, despite the act being illegal, he told The Sports Show on Wednesday from Radio Row in Glendale, Ariz.
The rule was changed in 2006 after urging from Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, who was then a Colt.
"I wanted to make sure they were the right inflation. I'd rub a rag on them sometimes before games," Plummer said when asked whether he did anything to footballs before games. "I'd grab balls from the ball boy and rub them on the grass to try to get dirt on it. Now that's illegal. You can't do that. But I did because it was dry in Denver and I didn't want the ball to feel slick in my hands and feel any stress."
"This whole DeflateGate thing is kinda funny," Plummer continued. "I was hoping it would go away by now. The ball that you have as a quarterback — that's you're tool. So it's important that you feel comfortable when it hits your hand, from the center, and you don't have any stress — or extra stress — that you're going to lose your grip."
Quarterbacks with smaller hands often wear gloves to help improve their grip on the ball, which is essential for throwing effectively.
"Now if the ball is overinflated, it's hard as a rock, the seams will rip your hand apart, and it's not easy to throw," Plummer continued. "I have big hands. That's what helped me play and spin the ball. But when your hands are big, you get more surface area, and when the ball is deflated, it bends around your fingers a little bit more. And it feels better and more secure. So there is an advantage to having it at the right PSI, but Tom didn't play worse when the regulation PSI was in the balls, he played better. So it's all just a bunch of hubub."

Maersk, MSC and CMA CGM announce new alliance
Tuesday, June 18, 2013
The three largest container shipping carriers in the world, Maersk Line, Mediterranean Shipping Co. and CMA CGM, said this morning they have agreed in principle to establish a long-term operational alliance on East–West trades, which they're calling the "P3 Network."
The carriers said the P3 Network would initially operate 255 ships in 29 strings with 2.6 million TEUs of capacity on three trade lanes: Asia – Europe, transpacific and transatlantic.
While the P3 Network vessels will be operated independently via a joint vessel-operating center, the three lines will continue to have fully independent sales, marketing and customer service functions.
Vincent Clerc, chief trade and marketing officer for Maersk, said the alliance "will provide our customers on the main trades with attractive, stable services and our Triple-E vessels will be implemented in the network without adding to the overcapacity on Asia-Europe.
"Fuel consumption will also be reduced with significant benefits for the environment, and our operations will get even more efficient and competitive," he said.
The three carriers hope to begin operation of the network in the second quarter of next year, subject to obtaining the approval of relevant competition and other regulatory authorities.
The three carriers have cooperated on some services before, but the alliance outlined today is much more extensive. They said it will "improve and optimize operations and service offerings."
BlueWater Reporting estimates that Maersk, MSC, and CMA CGM currently allocate on their existing services:
• 149,905 TEUs weekly in the trade from Asia to North Europe and the Med, 45 percent of the total of 333,068 TEUs allocated by all carriers in the trade.
•67,559 TEUs weekly in the trade from Asia to North America, 18.2 percent of the 370,462 TEUs allocated by all carriers in the trade.
•39,669 TEUs weekly in the trade from North Europe and the Med to North America, 43.1 percent of the 92,067 TEUs allocated by all carriers in the trade.
Clerc said the carriers have already had some discussion about their plans in the works for six months with the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission as well as regulators in Europe and China.
He noted the three carriers already have extensive cooperation on services that touch the United States—either all three together or bilaterally.
On the transpacific, the three companies have cooperated on two stings for five years, and Maersk and CMA CGM have a service where they cooperate to the Pacific Northwest and the U.S. East Coast. MSC and CMA CGM have a joint service from South China to the Pacific Southwest.
MSC and CMA CGM also cooperate in the transatlantic and until a month ago had a cooperative service to the Mediterranean when Maersk restructured its U.S. to Med services.
Between the Asia and Europe, Maersk and CMA CGM cooperate on services between the Far East and Mediterranean and MSC and CMA CGM cooperate service between Asia and North Europe.
But Clerc said the announcement is a big extension of the existing cooperation, putting all three carriers under one governance. "It's a pretty significant surgery on the network," he said.
He said the weekly carrying capacity being offered by the three carriers will be about the same as today, though slightly more in the transpacific where they expect some growth, in the low single digits, next year. He said it will be marginally less, by 1 or 2 percent, on the Asia-Europe trade.
Neil Dekker, head of container research at the London-based consultants Drewry, said the initiative "must be considered as a welcome one for the industry since it will help reduce carrier costs and stabilize the market. There are still more than 15 competing carriers on most trade routes and the combination of Maersk/MSC/CMA CGM in an operating alliance will not damage competition. But, it will contribute to the trend towards lack of differentiation of services in container shipping which is something that will continue to worry shippers.
"On the positive side, the formation of a bigger alliance should make it easier to adjust capacity up or down as demand changes, instead of through large lumpy additions or deletions of whole loops," Dekker added. "Should the new initiative be fully approved by the regulatory authorities, this will mean 13 of the top 20 lines are in a structured alliance on the main East-West trades, leaving UASC, Evergreen, CSCL and Zim out on a limb.
"Potentially, it also solves the problem for Maersk of how to best deploy its remaining eight Triple Es - by presumably combining with CMA CGM's 16,000-TEU vessels," Dekker said.
"Vessel-sharing agreements such as this can be efficiency-enhancing," said Peter Gatti of the National Industrial Transportation League, the nation's largest shipper organization. "Hopefully some of that efficiency will be translated into results for their customers."
Clerc said Maersk's biggest ships, including the
Emma Maersk
-class and the 18,000-TEU
Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller
and its sister "Triple E" ships, will be part of the cooperation.
Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller
, the world's largest containership, was named in a ceremony at a Korean shipyard last week and is due to be delivered to Maersk later this month for the Asia-Europe trade.
CMA CGM said all of its large ships, including the 16,000-TEU
CMA CGM Marco Polo
class vessels, will be deployed in the P3 network.
"The major impact for CMA CGM will be to be able to offer on the three key East West trades the best possible quality of service at the lower possible cost," a spokesperson said.
"We are convinced that this new potential operational cooperation with Maersk and CMA CGM will provide significant efficiencies and a major improvement to our current service network," said Diego Aponte, MSC's vice president. "Increased services available, extended direct port coverage and more efficient vessel routing will enhance our service offering to our customers and also deliver significant environmental benefits through substantially lower fuel consumption compared with the lines operating independently and therefore much reduced CO
emissions for the benefit all. Improvements to schedule reliability and reductions in port congestion are also expected.
"Everyone should see a benefit from this cooperation, including from an environmental standpoint even those people who are not customers of MSC or of the other lines. We confidently expect that the service and efficiency benefits from this operational alliance, which will connect with MSC's comprehensive feeder network, will keep MSC in a strong competitive position for the foreseeable future," he added.
Clerc said while Maersk had originally planned to operate the Triple E vessels on its own, the carrier has known for about six months that it would likely use them in joint service.
After comparing the two alternative, he said the company found it is more effective to use the ships jointly because it can use fewer ports, creating efficiencies.
The combined cargo of the three carriers on the "big trunk corridors of the trade represent a much larger share and you can just capture that cargo and let the other strings go to the other ports. It is not going to trigger a heavier reliance on feeders or transshipment," he said.
But he added "there is no doubt that there has been no growth on the East-West markets which puts a lot of pressure on the lines to find a way to lower their cost base, and to lower your cost base you have to find synergies and economies of scale."
He said that by combining, each line will be able to offer more weekly sailings in their combined network than they do individually. As an example, the P3 Network plans to offer eight weekly sailings between Asia and Northern Europe. In addition, the P3 Network will offer more direct ports of call.
Maersk also said the improved network is expected to reduce the disruptions for customers caused by cancelled sailings.
Maersk would contribute ships with 1.1 million TEUs, or 42 percent, of the P3 Alliance capacity; MSC about 900,000 TEUs, or 34 percent, of capacity; and CMA CGM about 600,000 TEUs, or 24 percent, of capacity.
Clerc said, as big ships come into the trades, the carriers will cascade 8,000- and 6,000-TEU ships to other trades where they are suitable and also take some ships off charter.
Why is it called the "P3 Alliance"?
"When we started six months ago, we called it P3 for 'project three,' and at some point we had to come up with a name for it, and we had grown so used to using that name for six months, and we had a hard time coming up with something else," Clerc explained. -

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- U.K. recruitment group Hays HAS, +1.00% said Thursday that its fiscal-year performance continues to meet board expectations. The company said that that it has continued to generate good levels of growth since its fiscal year earnings were released in September. First-half headline net fees are expected to be around 15% above last year, while comparable first-half net fee growth is expected to be around 14%. The company said that it has seen some further erosion in margins from the second half of the year due to weakness in its temporary business margin, primarily in U.K. public sector activities.

China has one of the biggest and busiest rail networks in the world, and trains link almost every town and city. Chinese trains are a safe, comfortable, and cheap way to travel around China, and a Chinese train journey is an experience in itself.
How do you plan your first train trip successfully? This page will help you understand and plan your train trip in China, and how to board your train.
Trains are classified by their speed and service in China, represented by a train code. A train code is comprised of a letter (G, D, C, Z, T, or K) or no letter (number only), which indicates a train's type.
There are business class seats, first class seats, hard seats, and soft and hard sleepers on different trains. A business class seat is the most expensive but the most comfortable, while soft sleepers will save your time and a night's hotel bill.
Which train type and which seat class will fit your timetable and budget? You will find the answers through http://www.chinahighlights.com/travelguide/transportation/choose-china-train-types-and-seat.htm.
You may find there are two or three stations in one city. A lot of foreigners get confused with the stations. Many people go to the wrong station then, unfortunately, miss their trains. For example, in Beijing there are stations called Beijing South, Beijing West, and Beijing.
Most of the bullet trains will depart from Beijing South station; some will depart from Beijing West station, while most of the ordinary overnight sleeper trains will depart from Beijing train station. If you want to take the high-speed trains, you need to go to Beijing South station.
High-speed trains and ordinary trains are located at different stations. You need to select and go to the correct train station.
Trains in China can take you to many popular destinations, and it would be a fantastic experience to take a bullet train during your China tour. However, it could be a problem for you to buy a ticket in China. For China's domestic trains, there are six ways to purchase the tickets: http://www.chinahighlights.com/travelguide/transportation/how-to-buy-train-ticket.htm.
For international train tickets, including to and from Hong Kong, China Railway doesn't sell them online so you need to purchase them through agents in China. China Highlights can help you to purchase train tickets to Mexico, Vietnam, and Ulaanbaatar, as well as other destinations.
It may be very convenient for you to board/get off a train in your country, but there are some extra things to do to get on and off a train in China. You need to get to the right station, go through the security check to enter the station, and so on. Read the information at: http://www.chinahighlights.com/travelguide/transportation/how-to-board-train.htm.
Generally speaking, train stations are transportation hubs of cities, and it is very convenient to travel to another location from a train station, especially in large cities. Usually, many public buses have stops at train stations.
In large cities with subways, you can always find two or three subway stations around a train station. Subways usually operate until about 11pm. For example, the last subway service from Beijing West Railway Station on Line 9 is at 11:29pm.
If you get off a train at midnight and there are no subway or public bus services until 5am or 6am, don't worry — there are always official taxi lanes in the street directly in front of the train stations. Some large train stations have underground taxi centers, such as Beijing West Railway Station.
As many taxi drivers in China can't speak English, you'd better take a note with the Chinese name of your hotel or destination printed on it (we, at China Highlights, would be glad to help you out).

Cannabis plants are weeds with simple needs. Your cannabis plants will grow as long as you give them the right amount of the following resources.
* In order to thrive and grow, your weeks needs...
* Light (brightness has a huge effect on yields)
* Air (fresh air with a slight breeze is best
* A Grow Medium (place to grow, soil isn't your only choice)
* the right Temperature (room temperature or a little warmer is perfect during the day, cannot stand freezing at night)
* Nutrients (start at half as much as what's recommended on the package)
* Water (maintain pH for best results, soil likes 6-7 pH & hydro likes 5.5 - 6.5 pH)
Two Stages of Cannabis Life: Vegetative & Flowering
Here's the cannabis life cycle in the wild.
* Repeat- Everything start over again for the next generation
* Seed sprouts in spring Optimal NPK Values for Growing Cannabis
* Cannabis grows for a summer LIFE STAGE N P K
* Days start getting shorter Vegetative High Med High
* Cannabis dies for winter Flowering Low Med High
In other words, you want to use a "Vegetative" (high Nitrogen) or "general purpose" nutrient formula for the first stag of life known as the vegetative stage. If using high-quality soil, you can skip vegetative nutrients for the first 3-4 weeks while your plant uses up the nutrients in the soil, otherwise you should start with vegetative nutrients around the time your plants open its first leaves.
Use a "Bloom" (low Nitrogen) nutrient formula with plenty of P & K for the flowering stage, Start using bloom nutrients when buds start forming to make sure your plant gets plenty of Phosphorus & Potassium, which are crucial to bud development.
Phosphorus tends to increase the number of flowers, while Potassium helps increase the bulk/weight of flowers. Be careful, though because going overboard with either one can burn your plants!!

There has been lots of talk about the XOXO Minnie collection ever since Etude House mentioned the release of it, and the entire collection is so cute and girly and everything I could ever want in a collection. ...But I resisted! and refrained myself from purchasing everything. I told myself that I wouldn't buy any polishes from the collection, but I always stared in awe at this pretty Minnie Pink Ribbon polish....so I bought it! ^_^''
There are six total polishes from the XOXO Minnie collection, with two (Bubble Pink #2 and Minnie Red #1) being gel polishes and four as glitter polishes. The four are Minnie White Face #3, Minnie Pink Ribbon #4, Minnie Silver Ribbon #5, and Minnie Black Face #6. It's not that hard distinguishing what you can find in each polish as the names are basically a given.
On my nails, I have two coats of the Vernis Classique by Cherimoya in Purple Frost, two coats of the glitter polish and one coat of the Seche Vite top coat.
I've been wearing this on my nails since Wednesday or Thursday and nothing has fallen off yet. Everything lies pretty flat on my nails except for the bows. I would just be wary of them and make sure to push it down with a little bit of pressure so it could attach to your base coat/polish better. If the orientation of the bow is sideways, there's nothing really to worry about; if it lies horizontally, the bow has a bit of difficulty hugging onto the curvature of the nail.
What's in the polish? Good question! There is a lot going on in the polish. The thing I'm always cautious about in glitter polishes is whether or not there is a color base to the polish. In this case, it is clear polish. The itty bitty glitter flecks and the small square glitter pieces have the same kind of effect. It will reflect off of the other colors, kind of like a holographic/mirror effect(?) The rest of the glitters are matte: there are small and medium sized cream pink hexagonal glitters, white circular glitters and white and hot pink minnie bow glitters. It's such a nice hodgepodge of glitters that gives off such a girly kind of feel to it. I would say the load of glitter you get if you were attempting to fish for the pieces is still pretty light regardless of everything going on in the bottle. (If you're not in the mood to go fishing....this is not the polish for you ;])
The polish is in a bottle that has the little Mickey head on the cap. The top of the cap is like a rounded dome. This polish has 8ml in it, which is a little more than the Revlon Nail Art Expressionist (7.68ml). I purchased it at beautynetkorea.com (direct link to product found here). It's currently $4.86 on the site.
I think it's such a nice polish for anyone! I mean...who doesn't love Minnie? We will never grow too old for Disney things, right? (Kids at heart! Always & forever!) I don't think it's an inexpensively priced product; I think the polish is sold at a decent price. I love everything in the polish. The only suggestion I could think is to make the hot pink more of a softer pink. It does last long on my nails and I really like that. I'm hoping clean up won't be too bad, but they do suggest that you have a base coat or something to prevent the glitter from going directly on the nails. Maybe I'll update later in the week or whenever I decide to clean my nails. As for now, I have nothing against this polish, so I give it a 10/10.
Hope you enjoy my late Mani Monday! Have a wonderful week!

A son of a tailor and a sari-sari store owner and the youngest among 5 siblings who lives a very simple life in a humble 5th class Municipality of Rizal in Zamboanga del Norte, he finished his studies and reached what he is right now because of his experiences and hard work.
His struggle began in 1991 when their shanty was razed by fire, which left them with almost nothing. Unable to even spend for the basic needs, education was far his reach. This encouraged him to work during summer vacation from years 1991 to 1994 in order for him to pursue college.
Unmindful of the difficulties of being a working student, he continued to work and study all at the same time, and this is where he got his inspiration to become what he is now.
While other young people of his generation were busy in their happy-go-lucky summer fun-filled activities, young Kenneth was working double time to help in his education expenses.
His first job was at Southern Island Oil Mill, which he was employed under the Summer Job Program which he worked for two summers of 1991 and 1992. Later in the years 1993 and 1994 he further sought help of the Provincial Government of Zamboanga del Norte to assist him in finding a summer job that could help him finish his tertiary education. It was then that he was introduced to one of the programs of the Department of Labor and Employment, the Special Program for the Employment of Student (SPES).
Kenneth was assigned at DOLE Zamboanga del Norte Field Office (DOLE-ZDNFO) and was tasked to assist in the evaluation of SPES basic requirements such as Birth Certificate, school certification and Income Tax Return/ Barangay Certification of all student-beneficiaries employed by the Provincial Government. Satisfied with his earnings, he even managed to save a dime, and as a remembrance of his hard work, even bought a cassette tape from the first salary he earned, since Judge Rosal is also a music lover, a rocker.
With his experience in DOLE-ZDNFO, opportunities were now at a hands' reach. Employed for two years under the SPES program, his self-esteem and well-being were gradually developed and improved. He became acquaintedand familiar with the rules in the government, public office and established rapport with the people in the Provincial Capitol which later became his officemates. He was grateful with the facilitation of Ms. Judith T. Benedicto, a staff of ZDNFO and the former DOLE-ZDNFO Head Engr. Elias A. Cayanong who were instrumental in equipping him with skills that he developed during his working experience in DOLE.
As time came to reap the sacrifices, he graduated his Bachelor of Laws at AndresBonifacio College,in Dipolog City.After graduation and while preparing for the Bar review classes, he was employed as Secretary to the Dean of College of Law at AndresBonifacio College. Later,he became Private Secretary of then Governor Isagani S. Amatong and became the Information Officer of the Office of the Governor. In 2003,after passing and became member of the Bar, he started his profession as a private lawyer. He was the Legal Counsel of the TVI Resource Dev't of the Phil of the same year. From the year 2005 to 2012,he was the consultant of the Local GovernmentUnit of Dipolog and in the years 2013-2015, he became the consultant of the PGO under the governorship of Gov. Roberto Y. Uy.
As he is a hardworking fellow, he is also a faculty member of the Andres Bonifacio College, School of Law handling Political Law.He was also elected President of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines, ZaNorte chapter in 2013 to present. At the age of 42, he was then appointed Judge of the Municipal Trial Court in Cities (MTCC), Branch 2, in Dipolog City.
He was thankful for the experience, for the Government's program such as SPES, helping young people pursue education through employment during summer vacation, which served as a vehicle in achieving their dreams. During our short interview, he remembered and mentioned a quotation from our National Hero, Dr.Jose Rizal to inspire youth towards success- "Of the 10 Rules to Success, the first rule is hard work and the other 9 rules are more hard work".

The Blues Band
The Blues Band was formed in 1979 by Ex Manfred Mann members Paul Jones and Tom McGuinness. Slide guitar ace and vocalist Dave Kelly was then recruited, Gary Fletcher filled the bass post and Rob Townsend of Family fame replaced Hughie Flint in 1982 on the drums. They set out originally to play pub gigs of their beloved blues music. 17 or 18 albums later, they are still going strong. If you are expecting a set play list, there isn't one!
This is probably the most spontaneous live music gig you will see this year. Although there is a general order of who's singing lead, as he takes to the mic each group member calls out to the rest of the band whichever song springs to mind - keeping the guys on their toes and the audience in an eager state of anticipation!

In his first direct public statement since he was sacked from Fox News last Wednesday amid multiple sexual harassment allegations and the snowballing exodus of advertisers, Bill O'Reilly said he's "shaken" by his career implosion and plans to tell his the world "exactly what happened" with events that led up to his abrupt dismissal. He has denied everything.
Former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly returned to work Monday with his fervent delivery intact, despite a much lower profile.
Over the course of his 19-minute "No Spin News" podcast, O'Reilly told listeners that the "truth will come out" about the allegations, adding that he would elaborate on his side of the story later on "down the lane".
The right-wing conservative TV personality was dismissed after a New York Times investigative piece revealed O'Reilly and Fox paid out more than $13 million in hush money to women over the years after allegedly harassing them sexually and racially.
Tucker Carlson, who replaced O'Reilly at the 8 p.m. time slot on Wednesday, told audiences at the time that his predecessor's performance "was not easy".More news: Barclays PLC (BARC) Earns "Hold" Rating from Shore Capital
More news: US 'Armada' to Reach Korea Later This Week
More news: Antonio Conte ignores speculation over Chelsea stars to focus on title race
O'Reilly's podcast, The No Spin News, has been available to his website's subscribers since 2009.
Carlson averaged 636,000 viewers among the key demo to help Fox News finish as the most-watched cable news network during prime time, averaging 582,000 compared to 328,000 demo viewers for CNN and 424,000 demo viewers for MSNBC.
O'Reilly will reportedly receive a payout of as much as $25 million from Fox News for being dropped by the network.
O'Reilly has hosted the podcast for years, as Variety reports, but it's likely people weren't as interested in it before as they will be for Monday's edition.
O'Reilly said is podcast will eventually get longer and will include guests, becoming "a genuine news program". "I fully respect their decision and commend Fox for taking action". Some of the people on the "Factor" staff have been here from the very beginning, helping Bill O'Reilly create something that had never been done before. Oliver also reported that, in an interview with reporters in early April, Trump indicated that he did not believe that "O'Reilly would do anything wrong", and that he was "a good guy".

Client: Confidential Private Client
Scope: 8,621 sf new house featuring architectural concrete
We were given the challenge of designing a house overlooking a pond on a site constrained by wetlands. Our client had an interest in permanence and solidity, and a desire to work with architectural concrete. Additionally, the client desired interiors that would showcase their substantial art collection. Our design approach began with the footprint of an L-shaped courtyard house, which, in part, was determined by the limited buildable area. The house is sited on a natural rise in the land, allowing the first floor elevation to rise 15 ft above the surface of the pond. This height provides dynamic views through the trees that separate the house from the pond. Our design concept ultimately leverages the capabilities of architectural concrete to explore its structural capacity on this unique site – resulting in a design with bold cantilevers and expanses of glass creating transparency between interior and exterior environments.
The interior palette is comprised of rift sawn oak with 16-inch wide oak plank flooring, oak casework and millwork, a stainless steel and glass main staircase, and minimalist concrete details throughout. On the upper level the plan accommodates a master bedroom suite, three children's bedrooms and a family room; the first floor includes a guest bedroom, living room, kitchen, dining room, office and family room; the ground level has a recreational room a mudroom, and office/studio. The site plan employs native plantings and includes a small resistance pool in the courtyard.
Concrete will be employed for all structural and insulation elements for the house. This modulates the fluctuation of interior temperature creating both an energy-efficient envelope and enough concrete mass to keep temperatures moderate and consistent throughout a 24-hour day. The employment of triple-glazed windows and a triple glazed aluminum curtain wall further increases the energy efficiency of the project, while allowing the house to have abundant glass that permeates natural light and affords spectacular view in all directions of both Todd Pond and the neighboring woodlands.
Materials: concrete; aluminum; rift sawn oak; stainless steel; glass.

Relation between anatomy and physiology
Anatomy and physiology 2 different but intently related concepts which are often studied jointly. In a few words, anatomy is a study of morphology of the body of human beings, while physiology involves the study of the functions of distinct structures and systems within an human being. In the bigger picture, anatomy explains the structure while physiology explains the function of the body of a human being. The knowledge of anatomy is critical to the study of physiology. In the same way learning about physiology is necessary to people who desire to know the way anatomical structures work. Thereby it is clear that both are interrelated to one another intently and both need to be learned and understood parallelly.
Both anatomy and physiology have been studied for a huge period of time. Human beings have always maintained a curiosity about how they and other organisms are put together and how they play their role. Most people all over history of medicine have also been keen on comparing and contrasting several living organisms to obtain similarities and establish dissimilarities.
The study of anatomy focuses on learning about the size, design, and location of structures in the body. It ordinarily centers around dissection, in which illustrations are cautiously cut up to disclose the structures within. Physical structures are ordinarily identified by the naked eye, or witnessed under magnification with a microscope for more detail. During the dissection process, anatomists can easily thoroughly document all sorts of things they encounter, and then determine how systems in the body are related. An imperfect perception of anatomy can cause major dilemma for medical practitioners, as knowing about anatomy is a critical part of researching the advancement of disease.
Anatomy may very well be regarded a static study, while physiology is more dynamic, involving the chemical, physical, and electrical processes which make an individual work, from the processes which regulate heart rate to the sophisticated systems included in visual perception. For you to study physiology, it is commonly required to work with living organisms or tissue to fully understand physical processes, for example release of neurotransmitters in the brain of human beings and the storage of energy in cells. Both anatomy and physiology can be studied with the use of dissection and even laboratory analysis of samples from specimens.
Students related to the medical field study anatomy and physiology widely over their period of study, to make sure they understand how the body works as a whole, and how the several systems within the body are related to each other. This field even form a topic of interest for those in many allied health professions, ranging from x-ray technicians who need a careful familiarity with anatomy to do their work.
The structure and function of parts of body are tightly relevant to one another and virtually, the understanding of one of the two is partial without the other. Since the subject of anatomy is structure and the subject of physiology is function, it will be analogous to mention that anatomy and physiology are closely relating to one another and the study of one of the two alone is imperfect without the other. Inspite of the close relation, it will always be important to keep a boundary between the two for the reason that both areas of study are very extensive in scope and learning both at the same time is a complex task.

Christopher Wright
Worship Leader
Christopher, with a band, is returning to lead worship!
Christopher's joy and calling is to strengthen, encourage and comfort the Body of Christ (1 Cor. 14:3) and to help people of all generations come to see the greatness of God.
Born and raised in the Philly suburbs, Christopher and his college sweetheart, Jeannie, currently reside in Exton, PA with their three adult children. In 1988 they were blessed with a special needs daughter who was unable to walk, talk, or eat-except through a tube. Amanda's brief 15 years on this earth taught Christopher much about God's love, sovereignty, and what matters most. Her profound impact on his life caused him to worship Christ like he never had before, and inspired him to write songs that flowed from a grateful, broken heart.
In order to comfort others with the comfort he and his family received (2 Cor. 1: 3-4), Christopher answered the call to full-time music ministry in 1995 and founded Blessed Hurricane Ministries, a concert and worship ministry which has taken him to churches, camps and conferences all around the world. Having also served ten years as a pastor of worship, he enjoys coaching worship leaders and their teams. Whether leading 80,000 in worship at Creation Festival ('04 & '05) or a handful of missionaries and families in remote places around the world with the WordFM, his contagious passion for making much of Christ remains the same.
As a musical missionary with InFaith.org, Christopher is currently serving as a worship leader at Calvary Chapel of Delaware County in Chadds Ford, PA, as well as interim worship pastor at Calvary Chapel of Delta in Delta, PA. His songs can be heard on his own indie projects as well as on major label recordings by Integrity Music, Maranatha! Music, CFNI Music, and Sovereign Grace Music.

Transport Galleries
- 1 November 2014 — 1 November 2018 *on now
Showcasing some of the finest Sheffield-made vehicles of the 1920s, The Charlesworth Transport Gallery explores the story of transport in Sheffield and its essential part of our industrial history.
The development of factories and the "workshop of the world" was only possible as the transport network developed. Equally the development of the transport network was reliant on the technology of industry, particularly those in Sheffield.
Transport has played a vital role within Sheffield, both within its industries and for the city as a whole. As a major manufacturing centre, a good transport system was important to carry raw materials and goods in and out, as well as to transport workers and inhabitants around the city.
The upper transport gallery houses temporary exhibitions as well as the Sheffield Simplex Car. This is perhaps the most famous car made in Sheffield and it was produced at the Fitzwilliam Works in Tinsley.
The car was the idea of Earl Fitzwilliam, who thought Sheffield could produce the finest car in the world. This prototype is one of only three Simplex cars remaining, and is thought to be the last type of the car ever produced.
