// i – Kendrick Lemar //
So I upped and left my family in Scotland suddenly to go to London for a trip. I did it randomly and because well, I wanted too. While I had those days away from everyone I realised and relearnt some things I thought I'd share with you all…
1. Don't be all talk.
Saying things and doing things are completely different, might seem obvious but that doesn't mean you shouldn't DO the things you SAY you will. For example, quite a few times I've heard (especially from my family) "you won't do that"/"it's all talk" so I guess I got sick of all of the put downs and did it. I grabbed some clothes and went to London all on my own. So don't just say things and feel you "aren't the guygirl who can do that" because of other people. F*ck that, do it and don't just say you will do. Doing things for yourself is important, it gives you confidence to do more and believe you can do what you want.
2. Google Maps is an app you need.
Good old Google Maps never fails me. Being lost is frightening but having that trusty app on my phone helps, especially to find new places to see you usually wouldn't have found.
3. Trying things you want too will strengthen you.
You want to spend an evening in an art gallery? Do it. You want to drink green juice? Do it. You want to take a picture at the top of a building? Do it. You want to try fitness classes or art classes or language classes? Do it. People may mock you and try to get a reaction out of you but it's you who's missing out of not trying things just because other people haven't seen the need. That is what makes you individual I think, wanting to do things others may not.
4. Your parents are just people.
Now this might sound simple, but realising your parents aren't the great messiah you must obey and go along with what they say is important. You don't have to believe what they believe nor do you have to be what they want. Your parents are still human beings, they still have growing to do and things to learn and as hilarious as it is, they aren't always right. What I've realised is you can still love a person but not have to get along or share beliefs with. Like Ed Sheeran understands in Runaway "I love him from the skin to my bones, but I don't wanna live in this home." Parents are people. Just people and as awful as it might feel not being able to do the things they wish you would, that doesn't make you a bad person.
5. You don't leave school knowing everything.
Okay I admit, when I left school I thought I'd know what I'd want to do, even if that was just what course at university to do. Now I've realised that life is so much bigger and more complicated than I first thought and as scary as that is, it's also pretty fun to know I can learn more things and I CAN CHANGE MY MIND! At school I feel the teachers force you do figure out what you want to do, it's like a ticking time bomb before they ship you off somewhere else and you aren't their issue. You can take time on your own to try things out. You aren't a failure if you drop out of uni or college. You've actually had the balls to not stay doing something you'd hate.
6. You'll never completely know people, like your family.
Now this I found weird. Your family are the first people you know and have in your life usually, so to know that they have other aspects of their life and you probably won't get that nor learn about things they've experienced is really weird. It's like learning when you were young that teachers had lives outside school. Yes, that sort of weird.
7. Who you are can surprise you.
Now this one I found disconcerting but sadly true (or not sadly? Depends what you've realised about yourself). Anyway, you might think you've got parts of you figured out or set in stone but then something will come along and you'll be pushed back five steps, back to being a confused pre-teen. At first, it's horrible (or liberating) but after you can move forward knowing that little part of you is better.
8. Knocking things off as fake/sneering at displays of emotion isn't good.
It may sound cheesy to you, but it seems most day's people won't believe the great things in front of them. "Her happiness is fake"/"He can't be that nice in real life"/"Her boobs aren't real" etc etc are just a few things people will deem fake. Some people can be happy or nice or even have great boobs and that DOESN'T make them fake. This whole idea of everyone around you being false, from parts of an appearance to people openly displaying emotion is crazy. Not everything happens like in the movies but at the same time, not everything is stick to simply being in movies. People CAN be deeply in love or be passionate about something or even cry hysterically – that doesn't mean it's fake or 'for show'. Move with it instead of trying to put someone down. Honestly, be emotional or enthusiastic or sad and don't knock it off as 'being stupid' or fearing people will mock. It's valid and instead of knocking people away, try to take it in and understand. Trying to be this cool, coldhearted person isn't actually that admirable.
SO after that long winded insight into my brain, I'm going to leave.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend and I'll see you next time you lovely lot.

June 26, 2019 (JUBA) - A spokesperson of South Sudan main opposition SPLM-IO called on the East African bloc, IGAD to end the confinement of its leader Riek Machar in Khartoum pointing to his needed role to disseminate peace in the country.
On Tuesday, David Shearer UNMISS head told the UN Security Council that regular meetings between President Salva Kiir and SPLM-IO leader Machar are needed to boost the slow peace implementation process.
"These leader-to-leader meetings, preferably held in Juba, are critical because trust and confidence can't cold start the day a new unified government is formed," Shearer said.
"We call the IGAD and the international community to release the Chairman of the SPLM/IO Dr Riek Machar to lead the dissemination of the Revitalised peace agreement with his brother President Salva Kiir, because once the citizens own the agreement," said Manawa Peter Gatkuoth SPLM-IO Deputy Chairperson of the National Committee for Information and Public Relations.
"They will respect it and this will mean no more violence in the country," Manawa further told Sudan Tribune.
The SPLM-IO media official mad his statements after a workshop on joint dissemination of the Revitalised Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of the South Sudan (R-ARCSS) held in Juba by the National Pre-Transitional Committee (NPTC) in partnership with community Empowerment For Progress Organization (CEPO).
"We believe that the dissemination of the R-ARCSS is a vital aspect of the implementation process as stipulated in the agreement because the objective is to ensure that the people of South Sudan understand and own it," said Manawa.
He said the government, from now onwards, should stop using the national TV and radio to advance its agenda.
"We commence the work of the NPTC, through its Sub-Committee for Dissemination to design comprehensive action plan covering the activities, time frame, responsible bodies, target groups and indicators of each activity," he added.

I love the Pokemon Gardevoir and I'm trying to raise a decent one. I got a Ralts from Pokemon Wonder Trade that seemed to be very good and the Pokemon Judge in Kiloude city told me the following about this one;
"This Pokemon has outstanding potential overall"
"It's greatest potential lies in its Attack stat, Sp. Attack is equally good, Sp. Defense is just as good, speed stat is good too"
"Stats like those, they simply can't be beat!"
I'm no expert but they seem to be fine, but there's a little problem - its nature is "Adamant" which means it has a decrease in Sp Attack and an increase in Attack, which is worthless in a Pokemon like Gardevoir.
On the other hand I got another one which stats according to the judge are;
"Relatively superior potential"
"It's greatest potential lies in its Sp. Attack stat"
"Speed stat is good too."
"Stats like those they simple can't be beat!"
They're not as impressive as the first one but the nature on this one is "Modest" which means an increase in Sp. Attack and decrease in Attack, which is ideal for Gardevoir.
So that's my dilemma - I don't know which one to choose. The first one seems awesome, but I don't know how its nature is going to affect it in its growth, and the second one is not that awesome but it has what a Gardevoir needs and a good nature.
However, I don't know if it's going to be better than the first one...
Help anyone?
If you're going to pick one of these rather than breed your own, the Modest one is clearly better. Special Attack and Speed are probably the most important stats you need on a Gardevoir, and according to the IV judge the Modest Ralts' Special Attack and Speed also can't be beat (which means the IV is 31, the highest possible IV) - the only difference is the Adamant one has better Attack and Special Defense, neither of which you particularly need (either one could have a higher Defense). Meanwhile, the nature will cause the Modest one's Special Attack, the most important stat, to be a lot higher - 383 vs. 314. There's no contest.
Having the right nature is very important in competitive battling, and adamant Gardevoir is considered useless. If you want your Pokémon to be at their strongest though, your Pokémon should have at least 4 IVs, in the right stats.
I think you mean IVs, not EVs, as the Judge tells you what your IVs are, not EVs.
IVs are set once you catch/hatch a Pokémon, and you cannot change them.
EVs on the other hand, are gained by defeating Pokémon, and it is possible to take them away too.
If you were to choose one though, you are better off with the modest one.
My advice though is to IV breed for one with better IVs and a modest nature(depending on the set). You can set what nature the offspring will have by giving one of the parents an Everstone, and use a Destiny Knot to pass down IVs.
I'm not going to go in to a big explanation on breeding, but I will link you to a breeding guide.

What a year that was!
2010 was an exciting year indeed. Following are the main events that were written by yours truly all throughout the year.
It started off with the important judgment by Justice Lau Bee Lan in an intriguing case between the Catholic Herald and the Home Ministry. The judge ruled that the word 'Allah' can be used by Christians of this country in their malay language bibles as the subsitute for the word 'god'. I believe the case now is being referred to the Supreme Court. Or, being discussed in an out of court settlement.
Then there was the brouhaha over the Kelantan's oil royalty which was led non other than Umno's oldtimer – Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah. It caused a lot of confusion and ultimately, left the Umno leadership in shattered image as the opposition took advantage of the situation. Fortunately Ku Li remained steadfast in Umno and all was somewhat redeemed when he led Barisan Nasional in the Galas by-election a few months after that.
The story arc of 2010 would probably be the multiple postponements of sodomy trial of Anwar Ibrahim. Are we not tired already with all the drama that was staged by his team of lawyers? But his effort to gained political backing from international entities fell flat on his face. This member of parliament who was declared as 'God's gift' to Malaysians by the President of Parti KeAdilan Rakyat recently, was embarrassingly exposed by Wikileaks towards the end of 2010. Coupled with his mistimed and misdirected attacks towards Apco and the jews, he was summarily lambasted for his anti-semitic statements by his Israeli friends. Ironic it seems especially when he is still friends with powerful jews in the West. Perhaps we must question his wisdom concerning the way he was attacking Apco in the first place. Even his friends in The Malaysian Insider gave a blistering attack against him.
Then, there was the case of people who left him or left the opposition coalition due to the lack of confidence in his leadership quality. The latest was the one time darling of PKR, Zaid Ibrahim who had formed a new party called KITA. Until this day, his previous dream of registering Pakatan Rakyat as an official coalition remains to be seen. I doubt it will ever happen because let's face it, Pakatan Rakyat has a farcical political philosophy. If their political philosophy is real, they will not have any problem to become official.
It will not be complete if we do not talk about the other farcical politician in Pakatan Rakyat – Lim Kit Siang. After a series of articles which had exposed him as being hypocritical, this longest serving dictator of DAP (since 1969), is relentless in his pursuit for a divided Malaysia. Dinosaurs do not care about its critics. Not until they became extinct.
Next, we have the important announcement of the New Economic Model by the Prime Minister. Many lauded the policy. Many more criticised it. Although there were hiccups during the announcement, I believe the Prime Minister's Office had done well in mitigating any major backlash. Mainly because most members of the public could not keep up with the myriads of abbreviations that were coming their way. Nevertheless, we can only see the results of this policy towards the end of 2011. Of which, I assume the Prime Minister will call on the general elections soon after that.
Another major highlight of the year would be the loss of oil blocks to Brunei. We are still in the dark over this issue which apparently was brokered by the former Prime Minister, Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and his fourth floor boys. What has happened since then? We lost 2 blocks and Limbang is still not ours!
The other story involving loss of territory would be the return of KTM land in Singapore to Singapore government. Even though it was described as a win-win situation by the current Prime Minister, matters came to a halt when Singapore deftly inserted a certain 'development fee' into the agreement which caused our administration to backpaddled all the way back to Kuala Lumpur to re-look into the agreement.
I guess 2011 will be another exciting year. I can only hope that some of us will become wiser than before. Wishing all the readers a spectacular 2011. I will always be around; writing when time permits me. Giving unwanted advice to people who need them the most.. 🙂
God bless!

Chomsky outlines his theory that the human brain has an innate language faculty, and that part of this biological endowment is a universal grammar. Thus, all languages and the ways children learn them are remarkably similar. Recorded at Winona State University.

Noam Chomsky, by any measure, has led a most extraordinary life. In one index he is ranked as the eighth most cited person in history, right up there with Aristotle, Shakespeare, Marx, Plato and Freud. The legendary MIT professor practically invented modern linguistics. In addition to his pioneering work in that field, he has been a leading voice for peace and social justice for many decades. Chris Hedges says he is "America's greatest intellectual" who "makes the powerful, as well as their liberal apologists, deeply uncomfortable." He is Institute Professor Emeritus in the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy at MIT and Laureate Professor of Linguistics and Haury Chair in the Program in Environment and Social Justice at the University of Arizona. At 91, he is still active; writing and giving interviews to the media all over the world. He is the author of scores of books, including Propaganda & the Public Mind, How the World Works, Power Systems and Global Discontents with David Barsamian.

A sub £9k price for a Wright Flyer would be good. I could almost be tempted. I wonder if 'bumping' it to £13k is simply a sales tactic. At £9k customers
what is the currency for the prices on the tags? Just curious.
Good luck with the sale. It's a stunning watch and I had the pleasure of seeing one for sale late last year. I do think you may be aiming a little high
Welcome to the forum, JPMBV1, thanks for joining!
Best of luck with the sale, but as per the forum rules, if you could add some pictures
still for sale? and whats a good price?

This guide will take you step by step through the various stages of the design and print process and outline both of our roles and responsibilities in order to achieve your goals. It also contains some things you should know to ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible, on time and without incurring any extra charges.
The Process
The process begins with you submitting a brief detailing your requirements to us. If you don't know where to start just download our free briefing template which will prompt you for all the answers we need to get started with working a quote. We'll check your brief and if necessary contact you to clarify or make suggestions to either enhance or make the project more cost effective.
Once the brief has been approved we would then require you to supply the text (a full draft is fine) along with all the imagery you have including logos which you would like to appear in the project. Please read our story on Supplying Content to us and about image copyright. This allows us to check the files to ensure they are of a suitable resolution and advise accordingly. Should you need help creating content for your project just let us know. We can assist you with copywriting, photography, illustration and translation.
Next, you will receive a detailed quote from us by email with a breakdown of all the costs and a provisional schedule. Quite often we are asked for optional prices for things like laminating the cover or different print quantities, which you may not end up ordering. It's for this reason that our quotes are broken down and we ask you to add up the elements you require to calculate the total cost. Don't worry, it's not as complicated as a utility bill. If your company operates a purchase ordering system we would require your official order prior to work commencing. If your company doesn't use purchase orders, you can simply send us an email confirming this and that you are happy for us to proceed as quoted. Please list the parts you require if more elements were quoted.
Now that we have received your purchase order or confirmation email we will make a start and the creativity can begin. You should also supply the final cleared text to us now.
When we send you a proof it will arrive by email and be a pdf file with a range of tools activated so you can indicate where and how you would like changes to be made. You'll need the free Adobe Acrobat reader to view this file. If you don't already have it you can download it from the Adobe website. It's really easy to mark-up your amendments as you only need to use a few of the tools, read our quick guide.
You will notice our proof files will have numbered labels like [V1] or [V2]. These indicate which number proof you are viewing. There are two opportunities for you to make amendments built into our quotes, therefore sign off should be achieved at [V3]. If the number of amendments go past this stage there may be additional charges. We will advise beforehand. Once you approve the design we'll send you a final file for your reference without the tools activated. This will be optimised for you to upload to your website should you wish.
What is an amendment?
Amendments can be made to the text and imagery. Should more than 20% of the text on a page be changed or the requested amendments cause the text to flow over to the next page it will be considered as adjusting the layout and additional costs will be incurred. You will be advised how much these costs are and we will require you to confirm acceptance via email prior to the amendments being carried out.
We will now prepare the files ready for printing as per the specifications of our quote. We can arrange for paper samples to be posted out to you but this can take a several days so please advise us well before the project is due to be printed. Once the project has been printed they will be delivered or distributed as requested.
In the unlikely event that there is a problem with the final printed item, you MUST inform us within 48hrs.
There are projects like website development and digital presentations where the process will vary slightly, mainly in the method of proofing. You will be advised at the time.

Raw Diets for Pets
Raw diets for cats and dogs are becoming more of a household staple, so retailers should educate themselves on the benefits and safety of feeding pets raw foods.
Pet parents are becoming more knowledgeable about the food their four-legged friends are consuming and paying closer attention to the health benefits of the various options out there. As the trend towards replicating ancestral diets of dogs and cats becomes mainstream, more companies are producing raw food options for household pets. The combination of necessary fresh fruit, veggies and protein, along with the absence of unnecessary fillers and grains, results in raw diets that benefit the health and well being of cats and dogs.
"A quality raw diet has the power to literally transform lives," says Duane Johnson, CMO at Sojos Pet Food & Treats. "From healthy skin and coat, to cleaner teeth, to optimal weight—the abundant benefits of naturally occurring raw nutrients and enzymes speak for themselves."
The St. Paul, Minn.-based company has been producing raw food diets since 1985, and has only seen the category grow in the past three decades. The company's products include food and treats for both cats and dogs.
Melissa Olson, marketing director at Vital Essentials, also notes that customers see the benefits of raw diets as their pet transitions from kibble.
"The most immediate and beneficial [benefit] will be smaller, firmer poo. That means less clean up accompanied by less smell," says Olson. "This seems to be the biggest benefit we hear from our Vital Essentials fans."
She adds that this, along with healthier skin and gums, and a preferred weight for the animal, results in fewer visits to the vet, which means fewer vet bills and treatments. The Green Bay, Wis.-based company manufactures food and treats for both cats and dogs, including the best selling freeze-dried VE RAW BAR Snacks.
Is a raw diet okay for all dogs? This is a question that Lindsay Meyers, marketing manager for Primal Pet Foods hears often. Her response?
"I feel the way you would feel if someone said, 'are fresh fruits, veggies and whole foods good for everyone?'" says Meyers. "Of course a raw diet is beneficial to all dogs if done correctly. It's what they were designed to eat."
Meyers notes that some of the biggest differences between raw food and a kibble diet may not even be the most obvious ones. The average kibble diet contains about 40 percent carbohydrates, while wild dogs would actually consume a minimal amount of carbohydrates, mostly in the form of fruits, veggies and greens.
"Because raw is either frozen or freeze-dried, it doesn't require the added starch ingredients and can be higher in meat, moisture and veggie content," adds Meyers.
Spring Netto, superstar administrator at All Provide, based in Norcross, Ga., agrees that raw diets are what canines were designed to eat. The company's raw foods are made with 100 percent human-grade ingredients with recipes for both cats and dogs.
"Everything from their teeth, mouth, pH level, stomach acids and shortened digestive tract are designed to help them ingest and receive maximum nutrition from raw, fresh plant and animal ingredients," says Netto. "This is your dog's ancestral diet and way of eating."
But Is It Safe?
As consumers think about raw food, the concern of safety comes to mind. With the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) constantly warning of salmonella and e.coli outbreaks, and consumers being told from an early age not to eat raw cookie dough, its not surprising pet parents would be apprehensive about giving their pets a raw diet.
"Many important factors contribute to the successful and safe manufacture of premium quality raw food diets at Vital Essentials," says Lance Viegut, CEO of the company. The raw materials are sourced from USDA approved facilities and the company boasts state of the art manufacturing facilities.
"We invested nearly $10 million in expansion and enhancement of our manufacturing plants this year," says Viegut. "Our cold processing area was constructed and is maintained to USDA meat processing specifications and our freeze-drying facilities are amongst the most impressive in the pet industry."
Primal is also dedicated to quality control, safety and testing throughout the manufacturing process.
"The standards are strict for our meat and produce suppliers to provide us the cleanest, healthiest product to start with," says Meyers. "Although we are rigorous during sourcing and production, all Primal products are batch tested at a third party laboratory for salmonella, e.coli and listeria."
Shes adds that once the product is complete, more testing is done and products don't leave the warehouse until those results come back negative. The Fairfield, Calif.-based company's manufacturing facilities are also inspected by the USDA and California State Department of Agriculture.
The company's commitment to producing complete and balanced diets for all life stages also means it avoids using a vitamin pack to help balance any deficiencies from the ingredients or process and instead supplements with other whole foods.
"We use organic celery for its vitamin K and manganese content, and organic quinoa sprout for its multi complex B vitamins," says Meyers about some of the company's whole food choices.
Raw Retailing
When it comes to selling raw diets for cats and dogs, retailers need to be aware of the variety of products on the market, as well as the benefits of a raw diet and the differences from traditional kibble.
"It's important for retailers to stock a good variety of quality, shelf-stable raw brands," says Johnson. "For first-time buyers, a strong shelf presence clearly positions the raw segment as a viable alternative to traditional canned and kibble products."
However, it's not enough for a store to just stock raw foods and treats. Store owners and employees need to be knowledgeable enough about the diet to be able to answer any questions customers may have.
"Store team members should be segment-savvy and ready to respond to any questions or misperceptions about cost, convenience or safety," notes Johnson. "A little knowledgeable advice can go a long way toward alleviating doubt—and putting a valued customer on the path to a healthier, happier pet."
Primal has a team of retail training specialists whose sole focus is educating retailers, and the company's sales team holds regular education seminars. Meyers also notes that Primal's next step is to educate veterinarians about eating raw.
"We've been hearing from our retailers for years that the trusted family veterinarian, sometimes unknowingly, undermines the education that the independent retailer has worked so hard to achieve," she says.
Primal hopes that by educating vets it can overcome this barrier for retailers so pet specialty stores can continue to succeed in this category.
Vital Essentials also helps educate retail partners and consumers about the benefits of raw diets.
"We include an easy-to-read benefits sheet for our VE RAW BAR products for pet parents seeking treats or snacks that are not only nutritious, but functional," says Olson.
Another way to educate consumers is to host demos and events in the store, and invite consumers to see and try the product before buying it.
"Here in Georgia, we do regular demos and food tastings at our local, independent pet food stores and dog-friendly events," says Netto.
Olson adds that with proper knowledge, the raw category should continue to blossom well into the future. "With the expanded awareness of raw feeding benefits, we should see an increase across the board for brands that cater to these consumers," she says.
Meyers agrees, noting that raw diets are the fastest growing segment at independent pet retailers, and help protect small businesses from the threats of online competition.
"The added benefit for the retailer is that by featuring frozen products they are insulating themselves from the threat of online sales," says Meyers. "Consumers must return to brick-and-mortar for their fresh-frozen items and will likely show up more frequently." PB

The publication goals at expanding wisdom approximately inventive and specialist inferences. The examine of those high-levelmethods of abductive reasoning is positioned on the crossroads of philosophy, good judgment, epistemology, man made intelligence, neuroscience, cognitive psychology, animal cognition and evolutionary theories; that's, on the middle of cognitive technological know-how. Philosophers of technology within the 20th century have usually individual among the inferential strategies energetic within the common sense of discovery and those lively within the good judgment of justification. so much have concluded that no good judgment of artistic approaches exists and, furthermore, rational version of discovery is most unlikely. in brief, clinical inventive inferences are irrational and there's no "reasoning" to hypotheses. nonetheless, a little analysis within the sector of synthetic intelligence has proven that tools for discovery may be discovered which are computationally sufficient for rediscovering – or learning for the 1st time – empirical or theoretical legislation and theorems.

HAIR BUMPS & How to Get Rid of Them!
Also known as Hair Bumps/Ingrown Hairs.
CAUSE: After a hair has been shaved, it begins to grow back. Curly hair tends to curl into the skin instead of straight out the follicle, leading to an inflammation reaction. Hair bumps can make the skin look itchy and red, and in some cases, it can even look like pimples. These inflamed papules or pustules can form especially if the area becomes infected.
This is especially problematic for these who have naturally coarse or tightly curling thick hair. Curly hair increases the likelihood of hair bumps. If left untreated over time, this can cause keloid scarring, dark spots and other irritation.
1. Get a good light (use your phone), face tissue, a clean (disinfect both) pair of tweezers and sewing needle or safety pin.
2. Use a mild face cleanser or soapbar. Wash the area.
3. Apply a clean warm cloth for 5-10 minutes to soften the skin.
4. GENTLY break the skin of each hair bump with the sewing needle and use the sewing needle to lift the hair up out of the bump. You need to put the end of each hair on the outside of your skin so that it grows as normal. This is so that the hair can stop growing into your skin causing the bump. Use tweezers if you have to pull a little bit but DO NOT PULL THE ENTIRE PIECE OF HAIR OUT.
5. Do this for EACH bump (might take a while). Use facial tissue to wipe needle/tweezers/face area clean. Use the warm cloth to keep skin soft. Don't try this on unsoftened skin!
6. Afterward apply Toner to your hair bump area with a cotton ball twice a day after you cleanse the area. If you find that cleansing to often dries your skin, cut back to once a day.
7. Wash and disinfect your tweezer and sewing needle. Save for later.
8. Try exfoliating with the White Willow Coconut Sugar Face Scrub or Skin Renewal Bilberry AHA Cream (great for dark spots) 1-2x/week to remove dead skin cells that can clog pores.
9. If hair bumps are on other parts of the body (underarms/bikini) use, the Sandalwood & Lavender Sugar Scrub to exfoliate. You can use the Toner on these areas as well and apply Whipped Body Butter. The Skin Renewal Bilberry AHA Cream can tingle in these delicate areas so I wouldn't suggest it be used under the arm or bikini.
Preventing ingrown hairs is all about removing dead skin and removing hairs in a way that won't cause them to curl back. Here are simple steps to prevent ingrown hairs. To exfoliate, use the sisal cloth sack if your skin is extra sensitive and our sugar scrub if it's extra dry. Another option is
dry brushing. It's an ancient ayurvedic technique and in addition to removing dead skin sells, it also kick starts your lymphatic system, which helps remove toxins from the body.
BIKINI AREA: Tight clothing can cause ingrown hairs, especially tight underwear. Skin is its healthiest when it's allowed to breathe. The elastic in tight underwear presses into the skin, trapping hair as it begins to grow back and giving way to bothersome ingrown hairs. Try wearing loose boy shorts or soft 100% cotton underwear.
WAXING: pulls hairs directly from the root. Each hair follicle is connected to a small tube, which is responsible for guiding the hair to the surface when it grows back. Waxing pulls the hair so quickly that the follicle and tube become damaged. When the tube's lining is damaged, it can't guide the hair. The hair becomes caught under the skin, causing ingrowns. Shaving The problem occurs when your hair starts growing back. It can become trapped below the skin, causing dead skin cells to find their way into the hair follicle. The result is an ingrown hair that's painful and inflamed.
AGGRESSIVE RAZORS: with multiple blades were designed for coarse facial hair so they'd achieve a smoother shave with fewer passes. In other words, they're better designed for men's faces, not women's bodies.
DULL BLADES: can cause the same problem. When you shave with dull blades, they leave the end of the hair jagged as opposed to a clean cut, resulting in irritation as the hair grows back.
Until Next Time!

The Youth Foyer beating kids´ cancer one dish at a time
Published at: 27 Sep 2019
Students from the foyer will take over Bill & Beat's café next month, serving drinks, waiting tables, selecting the entertainment and of course collecting donations from raffle ticket sales for the fundraiser event.
Funds from ticket sales to the three-course dinner are set to go to GV Health to support children living with cancer.
It is a project close to home for the foyer which aims to break the cycle of homelessness by providing young people aged 16 to 24 with a place to stay while they find work or study towards a career.
Foyer program manager Matthew Jobling said the event was a win-win situation, giving students practical experiences required for a range of job opportunities, while raising money for charity.
"The foyer students get to see the event's entire process of organising the event, all the way from cooking the food to organising the table setting," he said.
It will be the third year the centre has organised the fundraiser, which has collected more than $14 000 for the local community.
GV Health Foundation director Carmel Johnson congratulated the foyer on its efforts.
"GV Health is humbled by the efforts of the young people who have been working hard to raise funds for our cancer facilities at GV Health," she said.
"It is always tough trying to raise funds and the community can be proud of these young people's efforts.
"GV Health children's ward staff congratulate Ruben (Moreno) and the guys who have organised fundraising to make sure that children and young adults in the Goulburn Valley have access to the best facilities and services when they are having their cancer treatment at our hospital."
The event will feature talks from GV Health Foundation director Carmel Johnson as well as breast cancer survivor Kylie Jones.
There will also be live entertainment from band Mystic & Co.
Tickets cost $85, which includes a three-course meal, live band, guest speakers, auctions and a free drink on arrival for the event.
The dinner runs from 6 pm to 11pm on Friday, October 18 at Bill & Beat's, McLennan St, Mooroopna. For information or to buy a ticket, visit www.eventbrite.com

Thank you again for providing the clergy/church sexual abuse hotline in your newspaper. We now need to see it in all our Catholic Church bulletins every Sunday. On Oct. 17, 2018, I sat in one of the listening sessions and heard some very sad, life-changing, heartbreaking stories. Where is that hotline in our archdiocese? Recently, I saw this in the church bulletin at St. Joseph Husband of Mary Parish in Las Vegas: PROTECTING GOD'S CHILDREN: If you believe you are a victim of sexual abuse, please call our hotline …. I called and found out that this appears in every church bulletin in the Diocese of Las Vegas. Tell me, why is it not in our archdiocese's bulletins? What is taking so long? Where is our leadership? Where is our promise to protect and pledge to heal?

text: Public Sector Project director, Seniors Brian Eaton @itworldca Published: March 17th, 2005At last year's GTEC conference in Ottawa, Helen McDonald, Canada's Acting CIO articulated a compelling vision for the delivery of government services that are personalized, citizen-centric and integrated across ministries, departments and agencies.With the Seniors' Services Mapping Initiative that vision is much closer to being realized. We were able to take the information from hundreds of government Web sites and put it on to one Web site.Joanne Harrington>TextPartners in this landmark project hail from different Canadian jurisdictions. But they have one thing in common – a clear idea of the types of online services Canadians over 65 need from government.And that consensus, says one federal staffer, is vital to the project's success. "[It has enabled us to] address seniors' needs in the Web world," said Joanne Harrington, project director, Seniors' Cluster, Veterans Affairs Canada, who coordinated the mapping program.But arriving at this consensus was not easy.Flagged off in July 2003, the Seniors' Service Mapping Initiative brought together 16 people – all subject matter specialists, representing a cross-section of jurisdictions. They participated in three, two-day workshops over a three-month period, according to a Business Transformation Enablement Program (BTEP) case study.Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat's BTEP provides planning and design tools that organizations can use to improve internal interoperability and integration among its disparate sections.By applying the models in the BTEP "Toolkit" the group of 16 identified 203 services that overlapped across government levels. That made it possible to identify opportunities for information sharing, collaboration, and service delivery consolidation (such common case management) and integration."We were able to take the information from hundreds of government Web sites and put it on to one Web site," Harrington said.Participants in the mapping initiative, she said, were able to identify potential changes that would improve service delivery to seniors across four levels of government (federal, provincial, regional and municipal).Harrington said the Web site aggregation was done federally, and the provinces have employed the same procedures in populating provincial Web sites. At the end of the day, she said, it just takes time to bring parties responsible for the various programs and services together."We had to define who this senior person was," Harrington said. "This is typical when you have different people responsible for old age pensions or health services, or home care."A breakthrough came when participants started asking the right questions, including: Why do seniors come to government? What do seniors, their families and their caregivers require the government provide?Harrington said that was the point at which the group was able to begin mapping of all the services that needed to be delivered."It was a turning point," Harrington said. "It took time to define what exactly it was that everybody was responsible for delivering."The workshops uncovered many processes that needed to be eliminated or completed by another level of government, different from the one currently tasked with handling them.A key consultant on the project was Skip Lumley, now chief methodologist at Chartwell Inc., the IT management consultancy, who at the time was working with the Treasury Board, Service Transformation Group in Ottawa.Lumley was the lead consultant on the project, and is the founding partner of Chartwell Inc.Lumley, who was on board in a government capacity from day one, echoed Harrington's thoughts. He said the entire Seniors' project hinged on the common approach to describing government operations…so participants from other jurisdictions could sit down and ask: "What can we do for seniors?""For the first time everyone could see the point where we could get to talk the same language," Lumley said.Participants are currently discussing with their managers and executives ways to further develop these change-making projects and develop more detailed and useful business cases for service improvement for seniors.

In "The Road" Ely says that God doesn't exist and they are his prophets; the father says that his son is God. What do these quotes mean?
In this novel, the characters live in what seems to be a pretty godless existence. The world is wasted, and human decency is on the road to extinction. In its place is a form of barbarism that is almost insufferable to think about, much less see with your two eyes as the father and the son do frequently. They live in the stuff of horror movies. So, Ely speaks from his heart when he says that God does not exist; to believe in God in such an awful world is difficult indeed. When he says that "we are his prophets," he is meaning, the people on earth. It is the people alone who are in charge of preaching about God, and Ely doesn't believe he exists. So, instead of touting God, Ely speaks for his belief in a lack of God. It is through people that God works, and it is people that either proclaim God's existence or not. So, in essence, we really are God's prophets.
When the father says that his son is God, he is not meaning literally. He is meaning that his son has the power of God in him. He has the power to make his reality what he wants it to be. He speaks figuratively of "carrying the fire," which means, carrying human decency and hope within him. He wants his son to grow up to be a decent, kind, loving human, and to not be marred by the horrific circumstances in which they live. That fire, that "god-like" ability, is what the father is referring to--his son's capability to restore human kindness back to the earth, in a world that seems bent on destroying it. I hope that those thoughts helped; good luck!

Does anyone know of a good small breed dog for a small apartment? I really miss having a puppy around. I just tried to adopt one but someone snagged her up before me.
Do you want a dog or a puppy?
Puppies are great, but they turn into dogs before long.

The first year with a new puppy is always so much fun. There's just something about cleaning up "accidents" at four in the morning that makes you really appreciate when they do learn house manners.
I would recommend anything under 50lbs. (most complexes have certain rules) and anything that is not a "high energy" or "working" breed.

Here's a link to a site w/ a list of small dog breeds. If I had to pick one, I'd go w/ the pug.
Pugs always sound like they're out of breath. I think a mini-Pin would be cool.
I have a pug/beagle mix, and she is the best! Plus, she's two years old and still has a puppy-dog face.

My wife and I got a miniature dachshund when we were in an apartment a few years ago. They're small, tubular and have big-dog face. He was hard to train at first (they're a stubborn breed) but once they learn, they never forget. We now have two red tube-dogs and love them both! He was a perfect size for (and happy in) our tiny apartment.

Papillions are great for apartments, but be prepared to pay at least $400-500.
Answered 9 years ago
by persephone16
A former roommate of mine is looking into Papillions (named so because their ears resemble a butterfly's wing). She's contacted a rescue group but is still expecting to pay betwee $200 to $300. I say no matter the breed, always go with a rescued dog first.
Please consider obtaining your puppy from a shelter, Humane Society or a rescue group. I personally prefer a "Heinz 57" dog instead of a purebred, but both are available from the above sources. Other things to consider are whether you want a breed of dog that doesn't shed and whether the dog will be around small children. Getting advice from a local veterinary office about the most suitable types of dogs might be a good idea. Also, if you want to start out on the "right" foot, try watching a few episodes of The Dog Whisperer (if you haven't already). He has valuable advice on how to keep both you and your dog happy and well adjusted. Get ready for some unconditional love and enjoy your new puppy.

I know that you're looking for a smaller breed, but don't knock the big ones. They can be sweet and quiet the protector dog as well. Consider a German Shepherd/Black Lab like I have. He does well with my 2 year old and lets her use him as a pony and a pillow. He's really a big baby when it comes down to it, but he can be tough if the need would ever arise.
But if you really do want a small dog, I would suggest going with a pug. They're so cute and adorable (and can even kick you off a coach even though they're 1/5 of your size).

I personally do not have a problem with big dogs. It's my fiance. He also doesn't like pugs...which I think are adorable. He's very picky...maybe it's because he never had a dog growing up.
And we have definitely been looking at adopting. For some reason every time we find one we like, it's gone by the time we get there.
Well whichever breed you decide to go with I would defiantly go to the Humane Society. That's were I have gotten all the dogs that I have ever owned. It's nice because they usually have a chip in them that would be used to scan if they ever run away. You have to pay a small fee to activate it, but its well worth it. Also, they usually are up to date on their shots AND they give you a certificate for a free spray and neuter or if you decide to take it to your own vet they will give a discount off as well.
I know that's where I'll always go to get a new dog...especially because if they have no space and they receive animals they have to put them to sleep. I know this because when I was young we went there to just look and there was a man in the parking lot with a mixed breed dog. He said that the Humane Society would put her to sleep if he left her with them because they were too full to have any more animals. I know it's sad...so just think of the puppy you could help save!
Be careful of Shih Tsus when they grow older. They can get mean and start biting. I found this to be true of people also. [:)]

We have two Shih-Tzus and love them like our family. They can be stubborn to train as far as housebreaking, but are very loveable and loyal. I think any dog that is not trained and is allowed to have bad habits can turn into biters. Ours are not and we wouldn't give them up for anything!

Pugs are precious, but beccause of their breathing problems, they are prone to stroke... which is heartbreaking. Puggles, which are a mix of a Pug and a Beagle, tend to overrcome this design flaw and still maintain the relatively small size. A co-worker has two of them and they seem like very sweet, happy pups!

Pug mixes are great and don't have the health issues of a purebred. There are many mixes out there but the pug will always be dominant because it is such an old breed. Another good choice for an apartment would be an Italian Greyhound. My advice is for you and your boyfriend get on line and check out rescue groups in your local area.Many dogs from rescues are living with families in real home situations.You will know some of the baqckround on the dogs. Owner might have passed away,financial situations might have caused a family to give up a beloved pet. Rescue dogs are NOT throw away pets. Most dogs in rescue are not adopted out till they are spayed or nutered and up to date on shots. I have at this time two dogs; one was a rescue and one we got as a puppy. My husband insisted on a puppy. The puppy although socialized as a puppy, taken through obedience classes still remains fearful. Just her nature, who knew. The rescue on the otherhand was adopted at 2 years old and is the most outgoing loving dog I have ever had. I knew this about her when we adopted her. Rescue dogs seem to really appreciate the fact that they were rescued. My rescue is now a certified therapy dog and I wouldn't trade him for the world. Good luck finding the right dog. Enjoy the adventure.

I live in a small, <700 sq ft, 1 bedroom apartment and have 2 Chihuahua's who were both rescued from The Animasl Foundation, animal shelter. I used to be so prejudiced against this breed. I thought they were snippy, yappy barkers who were aggressive and full of attitude. I could not have been more wrong. I have had mine for over 7 years and they are incredibly affectionate, never aggressive and IF they bark when someone walks by my front door it's not often and consist of a single yap. Your shelter is probably full of Chi's ( the only explanation for that that makes sense is that they are incredible escape artists) so for you to go there and adopt would be a win-win.

Given the song's success, it was only a matter of time before Childish Gambino would be accused of plagiarizing his hit song "This Is America." However, in this instance, the claims seem pretty legit. Some Twitter users have taken notice that "America" sounds more than a little similar to the 2016 track "American Pharaoh" by Jase Harley. There are striking similarities between the two, including a similar song structure and cadence. Gambino, as per usual, has yet to respond. However, a member of Gambino's management team has dismissed the claims, stating that the song is actually three years old and they "have the Pro Tools files to prove it." What do you guys think? #WhosRightWhosWrong

In terms of content, research is currently devoted specifically to the topic of nutrition, for which the first field of research was established in 2019.
Measurement and optimization of iron bioavailability in sustainably produced insect based foods: estimation of the nutritional potential as alternative dietary iron sources in human subjects (Sust-iron-able)
There is a need to develop viable ecological and nutritional alternatives to animal food products, such as meat and fish, in the face of the growing world population.
However, in many societies, animal products (muscle tissue) are key sources of well-absorbed iron, while iron deficiency is prevalent in both high and low-income countries. In collaboration with the Laboratory of Human Nutrition of the ETH Zürich and Zurich University of Applied Science (ZHAW), this project aims at investigating iron absorption from different insect species and at developing an insect-based food which can provide a substantial amount of dietary iron in human subjects. The project is funded by the World Food System Center of ETH Zürich, Coop Research Program.
Contact: Diego Moretti
Duration: April 2019 – March 2021
Optimizing oral iron supplementation regimens during pregnancy: maximizing absorption and minimizing GI side effects
Oral iron supplementation is the mainstay of therapy for iron deficiency.
However, bioavailability of iron supplements is generally low, resulting in high doses being administered, increasing the risk for gastrointestinal (GI) side effects and, consequently, ineffective therapies. Alternate day regimens (i.e. administering one supplement every second day) result in higher fractional absorption in young non-pregnant women in short term and medium term studies. We aim to investigate and optimise iron supplementation in pregnant women, and to assess side effects of alternate day regimens with a novel App which will be developed in collaboration with the FFHS Laboratory for Web Science (LWS). The new tool will then be deployed in a RCT in pregnant women conducted in collaboration with the Laboratory of Human Nutrition of ETH Zürich and the Institute of Nutrition at Mahidol University in Thailand.
This project is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF).

WHO Health Economic Assessment Tool (HEAT) for walking and cycling
The Health Economic Assessment Tool (HEAT) is an online tool designed for transport planners that allows the economic assessment of health benefits of walking or cycling.
The first version of the HEAT was launched in 2007. The current version 4.0, launched in October 2017, now also allows taking into account the effects of air pollution, injuries and carbon emissions.
The HEAT is one of the most used tools for health economic assessments of walking or cycling projects. In 2015, a study found over 40'000 site visits, 14 government reports and 28 academic papers using the HEAT.
This open ended, ongoing project is led by the Regional Office for Europe of the World Health Organization (WHO). Dr. Sonja Kahlmeier acts as project coordinator in association with an international team of collaborators.

Policy Evaluation Network (PEN)
The Policy Evaluation Network (PEN) was created as part of the European Joint Programming Initiative on a Healthy Diet for a Healthy Life (JPI HDHL) with the vision to provide Europe with tools to identify, evaluate and benchmark policies designed to address physical inactivity, unhealthy diets and sedentary behaviour.
28 research institutes from seven European countries and New Zealand have combined their expertise to form the PEN Network.
PEN will examine the content, implementation and impact of lifestyle policies across Europe and will build on existing knowledge from DEDIPAC (Determinants of Diet and Physical Activity) and the INFORMAS (International Network for Food and Obesity/ non-communicable diseases Research, Monitoring and Action Support) framework. With seven inter-related work packages, PEN will provide an overview of the 'best' public policies most likely to sustainably reduce physical inactivity, unhealthy diets and sedentary behavior.
PEN will realize the first steps in a policy monitoring and surveillance system for Europe and refine our knowledge of appropriate research designs and methods for the quantification of policy impact. It will contribute to our understanding of how to achieve successful transnational policy implementation of policies in different cultural, demographic or socio-economic settings with particular focus on vulnerable groups.
