Olympic champions Adam Peaty (GBR) and Sarah Sjostrom (SWE) will take centre stage when the Swimming gets under way at the Glasgow 2018 European Championships on Friday 3 August.
Peaty will go in the heats of the 100m breaststroke, in which he holds every title available to him as well as the World record, and, barring a shuddering shock, he is expected to progress to the evening's semi finals.
The 23-year-old is the overwhelming favourite to retain the title he first won in Berlin in 2014 as he looks to add to his eight European golds, although it is his own ambition that is far greater than any pressure that may be heaped on him by others.
"My expectations are cloud nine really. Sometimes I can achieve that and sometimes I am in shape to even over-achieve and then I get disappointed when I don't - even though it's not realistic. For me, it's how much of a good show can I put on for the crowd in Glasgow and the people supporting us, really."
Sjostrom has a busy first day, with heats and semis in the 50m freestyle and 100m butterfly. She is also set to be part of the 4x100m freestyle relay in the evening.
The 24-year-old faces a quality field in the sprint freestyle, in which she is World champion and world record holder. There, she will come up against Olympic champion Pernille Blume (DEN) and Ranomi Kromowidjojo (NED), who won the sprint freestyle double at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
There will be a new champion in the women's 400m individual medley for the first time since 2010, with current title-holder Katinka Hosszu (HUN) swimming a reduced programme. British pair Hannah Miley and Aimee Willmott could battle it out for gold, although 18-year-old Ilaria Cusinato (ITA) may have something to say about that.
There will also be a new champion in the men's 400m freestyle after Gabriele Detti (ITA) lost his battle with a shoulder injury. Neither will 2015 world silver medallist James Guy (GBR) compete, having contested the event for the final time at the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. World finalist Felix Auboeck (AUT) tops the rankings entering competition.
The 800m freestyle features a possible star of the future in Ajna Kesely (HUN). Only 16 years of age, she claimed a clean sweep of all freestyle titles from 200m up at last year's European Junior Championships.
Hungary, Russia and Italy will face off in the men's 4x100m freestyle relay, with the Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark meeting in the women's equivalent.
The men's 50m backstroke heats and semis will also be contested.

How we saved $5,300 off of our closing costs in 10 minutes
The dreaded closing costs of a new home mortgage can be as high as $25,000 or more when it's all said and done depending on property taxes, insurance, the price of the home, and legal fees. However, we managed to save $5,300 last month on our closing costs by doing one simple thing...We shopped around for our loan.
You always hear people say to shop around for loans, but how many of us ever take this advice? We've purchased three other homes in the past and have always used the same "trusty" bank that we've always used and never thought much of it. However, when my lawyer told me to talk to at least two banks, for some reason I listened this time. After about 10 minutes of talking to a new bank, I saved $5,300!
They aren't charging me the 1% loan origin fee that my other bank charges. It was that simple. So next time you are in the market for a car or a home, shop around and really have them show you what fees they plan on charging you because you could wind up saving thousands of dollars!

Valedictorian with lifetime perfect attendance earns more than $430K in scholarships
The 2020 valedictorian at Nellie A. Thornton High School is pretty impressive, as you might guess.
In graduating top of her class, Ashanti Palmer has racked up more than $430,000 in scholarships to attend college.
She also had perfect attendance, beginning in pre-K through her senior year.
"Being named valedictorian feels good because it shows that all the hard work I've put in over the years has paid off, and that effort is being celebrated in a big way," Palmer said on the Mount Vernon City School District website.
"It wasn't until 10th grade that I realized I hadn't missed a day, and then I wanted to keep up the streak."
Palmer plans to go to medical school after getting a degree in biomedical engineering and medicine at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

I suggested in a previous post that assuring user experience should be big data job no. 1. In conjunction with this thesis, security should be big data job #2. The point here is that if an organization cannot assure the user experience and secure the data then all of its big data ambitions are for naught.
The threat landscape is growing ever more hazardous as cloud, mobile and social gain wide acceptance. These overlapping trends are overburdening legacy security technologies, processes and staff. As a result, Chief Security Officers (CSOs) must evolve toward a holistic unified data protection strategy. This strategy makes security a big data project, encompassing all users, systems and applications.
It means adopting a platform that collects massive amounts of data from both internal and external sources in real-time, indexes the data with time stamps so it is readily searchable, and applies algorithms to correlate the data into events for analysis. These algorithms may be prepackaged by a vendor, developed by a third party or custom built.
A big data security platform should have the following characteristics:
- It must aggregate internal data sources, such as logs, packets, systems, applications, and devices, as well as external sources, including threat intelligence and cloud services incorporating Hadoop and other open sources technologies;
- It must be able to ingest this data in real-time at terabyte or greater scale in massively parallel processing environments;
- Best suited for distributed architecture, the platform should allow for deep-dive correlation and various analytics models to identify threats and vulnerabilities at any layer of the technology stack;
- Finally, the platform should be tightly integrated with security policies and rules to facilitate adjustments and automate remediation.
Such a platform touches endpoint, network, data, content and cloud. It allows the security team to quickly identify and troubleshoot systems, investigate security incidents and demonstrate compliance efficiently and cost effectively. This information provides visibility at all layers of the technology stack and across the enterprise. It allows CSOs to prioritize actions, adjust policies and rules, and speed and improve workflows around incident response.
But as organizations collect, store and analyze more data from a greater number of sources and keep that data online for longer periods of time, this platform need not be exclusively on internally managed infrastructure. More enterprises are turning toward cloud-based solutions or managed service providers as a component of a big data security strategy. Splunk and SumoLogic are good performance monitoring solutions that have strong appeal to security professionals. Customers have the flexibility to deploy these capabilities either on-premise or in the cloud.
The Status Quo Won't Do
Security tools from the endpoint to the network will remain important pieces of data protection. But preventive, signature-based point solutions have outlived their usefulness against more sophisticated malware, advanced persistent threats and other targeted attacks. These disparate systems waste time and money. Having specialized security analysts manually sift through false positives extends incident detection/resolution time and risk exposure.
Discrete security analytics point products that are narrowly focused on specific threats results in a patchwork quilt of technologies from different vendors that do not often work well together. A piecemeal approach to information across servers, networks, storage, operating systems, applications and databases leaves the CSO with an inaccurate and inefficient depiction of the enterprise's security posture. Meanwhile, first-generation Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platforms, which were built on SQL databases or proprietary data stores cannot scale to big data requirements.
So while hardened server configurations, next-generation firewalls, signatures to scan for known malware and software vulnerability patches are basic defensive measures, their shortcomings underscore the need for a holistic unified big data security strategy.
How to get there
- Establish a holistic unified big data security strategy and architecture. The strategy should have clearly defined goals, including roles, metrics and time lines. It should be consistent across all security initiatives for data at rest and in motion. The CSO should gain buy-in from the CEO, CFO, CIO and other C-level executives in the company to assure understanding and facilitate implementation. One key objective should be to provide maximum protection with minimum user intrusion.
- Integrate security intelligence into enterprise security dashboards. This enables the collection of security data from within and outside of the enterprise. It also facilitates GRC (governance, regulatory and compliance) mandates.
- Train and deploy security staff on the highest value assets. With limited resources and skills sets, CSOs should tactically use their budget to make certain that human capital is utilized where it is most useful to the organization. Security staff should be focused on the platform that delivers the most intelligence.
- Communicate the strategy throughout the organization. This raises awareness about risks and policies. It also helps maintain adherence with GRC initiatives.
A properly executed big data strategy and platform can serve as the heart of a company's risk management, incident detection/response and GRC activities. A best practices approach to big data security lowers enterprise and IT risk while providing a better ROI through faster remediation and lower total cost of ownership. All the better if the platform can double in the role of performance monitoring to assure user experience.

The Best SARMS Suppliers Reviewed
Finding the 3 best SARMs suppliers in the US is a little bit more difficult than simply popping down to your local Vitamin World or GNC supplement store and pulling traditional supplements off-the-shelf.
These aren't the kind of performance-enhancing supplements you're going to find at your local Target or Walmart, either.
No, you're going to have to actively seek out the 3 best SARMs suppliers in the US to take advantage of the products they have to offer, products that are similar to anabolic steroids in the benefits that they make possible – without any of the nasty side effects.
We have done quite a bit of digging to find the 3 best SARMs suppliers in the US for you. It's taken a little bit of time, a little bit of energy, and a little bit of effort but we really wanted to make sure that these suppliers really were the best of the best. The 3 best SARMs suppliers in the US we highlight below we feel fit that bill perfectly.
Let's dive right in!
1. Science.Bio
Operating under the business name IRC.BIO up until November of last year until they were shut down as a direct result of new federal regulations that made the way the company did business against the law in the US (at that point in time), the company has been reorganized to be 100% compliant with new federal regulations and has come back as Science.BIO – and is better now than ever before!
This 100% American owned and American-based company is back to delivering 100% top-quality, completely pure SARMs at very affordable prices – shipping throughout the continental US as well as to Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico (with global shipping options available, too).
Before the original IRC.BIO company was shut down they had some of the best reviews in the industry and were certainly considered to be one of the 3 best SARMs suppliers in the US. The pause during the reorganization that led to the creation of Science.BIO didn't change this reputation even a little bit and people feel just as strongly about everything this company has to offer today as they did before.
The sheer volume of top-tier SARMs available from Science.BIO is spectacular, but the real selling point here is that you'll be able to purchase SARMs 23 and SR 9011 (two of the most advanced and newest SARMs to hit the market) here before you'll be able to order them anywhere else.
That's a game-changer and a big part of why they along on our list of the 3 best SARMs suppliers in the US today.
2.Proven Peptides
If you are serious about taking full advantage of everything SARMs have to offer the odds are pretty good that you've come across the Proven Peptides brand name before.
One of the biggest names in the advanced performance-enhancing supplement world, and a game-changing online retailer, you'll never have to worry about the purity or the authenticity of the SARMs you purchase from this supplier.
Each and every one of the SARMs provided through Proven Peptides are independently confirmed to be 100% legitimate, include details regarding their potency in every order, and can be trusted thanks to the reputation that this company has built over the last few years.
This is not some fly-by-night operation but instead, a Florida-based company that has grown to be one of the most popular providers (certainly one of the 3 best SARMs suppliers in the US) since it was established back in 2017.
They ship maybe the most top-tier SARMs to customers in the US on a yearly basis and are taken advantage of by amateur athletes and those that take their fitness a little more seriously as well.
There are a multitude of reasons to choose this company as the 3 best SARMs suppliers in the US for your specific needs, but the biggest reason has to be that they are one of the few organizations (the US or anywhere else) that test each and every one of their products in an independent laboratory – and then include those published results for everyone to see and confirm themselves.
You'll never be fumbling around in the dark trying to figure out if the SARMs you've ordered from Proven Peptides are for real, that's for sure.
Combine that with a gigantic selection of SARMs, some of the best customer service in the business, and top-tier prices and it's easy to see why so many people consider them to be the best of the 3 best SARMs suppliers in the US today.
Go to Proven Peptides' Website
3. Swiss Chems
Last, but certainly not least, this USA-based organization is another top-tier SARMs supplier that you will be able to trust with great options, great prices, and some of the fastest shipping to addresses in the United States and around the world.
One of the best things about this supplier is that they also sell other products such as Clenbuterol, Nolvadex, Cialis, etc…
Sourcing their SARMs from top-tier laboratories in the United States, they also take the next step (similar to Proven Peptides) to have each and every one of their SARMs – and every batch of those SARMs as well – independently tested and verified with laboratory results published for all to see on their website.
This level of transparency gives consumers a lot of confidence to know that the products they are purchasing (and the supplements they are putting their body) are very much the real deal. The last thing you want to do is put some unknown chemical cocktail into your body that may or may not be legitimate and that won't ever be a fear when you purchase SARMs from this organization.
Global shipping options are a nice feature here, but the lightning-like speed of the domestic delivery services that this company takes advantage of are a game-changer. You won't be sitting around waiting for your supply of top-tier SARMs to come in when you order from this company, that's for sure.
All in all, you can't go wrong when purchasing from any of the 3 best SARMs suppliers in the US that we have touched on in this quick guide. They all offer a great selection, competitive prices, fast shipping, and transparency that is a little bit uncommon (but definitely appreciated) in this industry.

The World is Flat – with the increasing cross border trade and movement of labor force across international boundaries having a substantial impact on the local economies and bearing significant influence on the social milieu of many emerging economy countries, there is the need to understand the present trends and future ramifications of the economics of worker migration, and also consider the wider aspects of human trafficking and international labor agreements.
This research paper presents the specific case of servant maids of Philippines and Indonesian origin working in Saudi Arabia, their travails and tribulations, and the particular impact of international remittances to personal lifestyle and that of immediate family members, and to their respective domestic economies. The paper further delves into the positive and negative ramifications of this business of servitude – the Arab who sponsors the servant maid expecting life style services, the servant maid who chooses to work in this foreign environment whether under duress or as a matter of personal choice, and the wider subject of international labor laws setup to safeguard against exploitation and sexual abuse.
Saudi Arabia has been the destination of choice for many servant maids from emerging economies mostly from Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Philippines over the past several decades. Most Saudi middle class income families have at least one servant maid in their house, and with richer households having many more, the dependency on the servant maids is felt in every aspect of their life style. The hiring ban imposed by the government of Saudi Arabia few months ago on domestic employees from Indonesia and Philippines made the problem more acute all around both for the Saudi households employing servant maids and for the servant maids themselves. The situation came to a boil with the recent beheading of an Indonesian servant maid implicated in a murder case by the Saudi Arabia government without prior consultation with Indonesian embassy officials. Subsequently, the Indonesian government prohibited its citizens from working as domestic servants in Saudi Arabia, while Philippines quickly followed with new guidelines for hiring its domestic servants and demands on better working conditions.
International labor agreements
The need for international labor agreements, setting up of legal cells and governance structures to ensure protection of the immigrant labor force from exploitation in the foreign soil is made apparent by these fast paced developments in the particular case of servant maids of Saudi Arabia. It is necessary for further discussions on this emerging scenario to add focus on its possible effects and pitfalls to the Arab society, the servant maids, on the disruptions it has caused to cross border movement of labor force and possible impairments to mutual trust. It will help to integrate observations gathered from mainstream media and other knowledgeable sources that provides a wider perspective of the issues at hand and consider possible remedial actions.
Oil-rich countries, specifically Saudi Arabia, has been recipient of a large number of foreign migrant workers over the past two decades, who today constitute nearly 96% of private workforce and 70% of total labor workers in the country. This continued predominance of foreign workers in the population has led to adoption of several policy measures to regulate and manage worker immigration. With a demographic tidal wave of Saudi nationals aged less than 20 expected to enter the labor force in the next two decades, there is mounting pressure to create nearly 100,000 new jobs every year.
Working environment
The fact remains that Saudi nationals are actively discouraged from taking up certain category of jobs, such as that of servant maids, due to traditional Arab restrictions with Arab women working in other households. However, it is acceptable to the general Saudi populace to engage foreign workers as servant maids who are most likely to be of Indonesian origin or Filipinos in descent. Here, Islamic traditional rules that abhor exploitation of women and children, and explicitly advices against sexual abuse are never seen to be in practice. There is a very high frequency of rape and other forms of sexual abuse reported on the servant maids over the past many years, but almost nothing is seen in terms of delivering justice and convicting the guilty, more so when a Saudi national is seen to be involved.
Despite the adverse working environment and the Saudi government being very reluctant to engage on international immigration treaties or in terms of implementing effective immigration policies to protect worker interest, the influx of foreign workers continue with increasing volumes.
Emerging economies hugely benefit from this cross border movement of its citizens in terms of the international remittances they receive annually, which sometimes contribute up to 15% of their GDP. It is not surprising that they easily capitulate to the Oil rich nations and provide no checks and balances on the Arab nations when hiring its labor force, in the absence of any formal international immigration treaty. But a case in point is that of Indonesia which has initiated a very bold action by way of putting out a total ban on worker immigration to Saudi Arabia few months ago, due to the appalling human rights situation in the country. Philippines, in its measures to control abuse and raise worker environment has revised hiring standards and put across demands for a higher minimum wage limit. An immediate effect has been that Saudi Arabia reciprocated with a ban on fresh hiring for all migrant workers from Indonesia and Philippines.
Though both the immigrant countries will suffer short-term pain in terms of reduced remittances from its workers in Saudi Arabia, it nevertheless is a step in the right direction. With Saudi Arabia equally impaired due to lack of availability of quality domestic workers, there is pressure from all sides to restore normalcy on the worker migration situation and to raise the standards of the worker environment. Here, the inter-dependency of both the sending and receiving countries will mean that a quick mutually beneficial solution will be sought to the ongoing immigration crisis.
The paper highlights the fact that where there is a balance of power between the sending and receiving countries of international immigration, it is seen to be mutually beneficial to setup a conducive mechanism of international immigration and to build adequate safeguards against worker abuse.
With more economies opening to the benefits of globalization – international trade, migration and capital flows; the poorest people of the poorest nations are seen to benefit from the continuing trend of migration of low skilled and semi skilled workers to richer nations.
Emerging economy countries enriched by the international remittances from its migrant workers are further beholden to open their economies to international trade, and in the process moving towards better wages and equalizing worker conditions. However, acceptance and adherence to international labor laws are a necessary step towards equalizing worker conditions for migrant workers. Very few countries have taken initiatives towards setting up legal infrastructure for handling cases of foreign worker abuse, a particular case in point is the government of Saudi Arabia which has consistently over the past many years failed to remedy the gaps in its foreign worker labor policies and continues to languish as a Tier 3 country amongst immigrant nations, as per classification with United States Department of State.
Research papers about international immigration
The authors, in the chapter on 'Globalization of International Immigration', while exhaustively depicting the patterns and consequences of international immigration have failed to throw sufficient light on the plight of the migrant workers subjected to substantial abuse on foreign soil and on the need for an international consensus to protect migrant worker interests. Relaxing barriers to international migration, setting up of international labor laws and governance structures offers the most promising opportunity for expansion of the positive impact of globalization on labor conditions.
'Migration Issues in the Asia Pacific – Issues Paper FROM Indonesia' research paper published by UNESCO Asia Pacific Migration Research Network (APMRN) covers details on the reasons behind Indonesian immigration and the experiences shared by migrant workers in Arab countries. The other body of research to consider will be 'Saudi demand for Filipino workers: labor migration issues in the Middle East' published by US National library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health. This research paper considers the effects of various social, political, and economic features of Saudi Arabian development on the demand for Filipino workers. International Labor Organization (ILO) has published a white paper on the subject titled 'Recent Labor Immigration Policies in the Oil-Rich Gulf' which analyzes the effectiveness of the current policies at ensuring migrant worker interests.

Appalachiosaurus, whose name means "Lizard of Appalachia", is a theropod dinosaur from the east coast of North America and lived during the Campanian stage of the Cretaceous period, approximately 77 Million years ago. It is not one of the most well known species because only a few remains have been found.
Originally uncovered in 1982 by Geologist, David King, in the Demopolis Chalk Formation of central Alabama, the animal had not received a name. However, in 2005 Paleontologists Thomas Carr, Thomas Williamson, and David Schwimmer coined the name, Appalachiosaurus montgomeriensis. The remains were found in Alabama, U.S. and named Appalachiosaurus in lieu of the Appalachian Mountains that are found in the state. Specifically the remains were uncovered in Montgomery County, which accounts for the species name. The remains found, belong to a juvenile animal with a length of 23 feet and weight of over 1,300 pounds. The material consists of parts of the skull, parts of the lower jaw, several vertebrae, parts of the pelvis, and most of both hind limbs
The remains indicate the animal was a primitive Tyrannosaur, whose family includes animals like Tyrannosaurus, Daspletosaurus, and Albertosaurus. However, the remains show characteristics usually found in more advanced tyrannosaurs placing Appalachiosaurus closer to Tyrannosauridae than other primitive tyrannosaurs like Alectrosaurus and Dryptosaurus. The arm material is not well known, only a few bones have been found. Originally, the skeleton of the animal was reconstructed with long arms ending in three fingered hands. This has since been revoked for the more widely accepted theory of shorter arms with two-fingered hands like that of later tyrannosaurs. Appalachiosaurus lived in an area that housed many other animals including; Lophorothon, Ornithomimus, Parasaurolophus, Hypsibema, and many more.

When I decided to enroll for a ten-day Vipassana course I had no prior experience in meditation. I have always thought that I am more of an active person so I could not sit and be still- so I was more focused on breathing into the present moment. To be honest, I mostly was excited for the fact that we were supposed to keep the noble silence for the entire time of the course – which for me was pure bliss. I strongly believe that silence is so powerful in today's world and it can do miracles even by itself! It was when I first saw the schedule, on the first day of the retreat, that I realized that this will be a challenge, but never have I even thought of giving up ( as some actually do due to the intense and long time of meditation). Needless to say that it was the most enriching experience I have ever been through and once done I was crying of happiness. Besides, the feeling was so utterly strong that I felt compelled to tell others about it – that peace of mind and state of serenity could be used by so many! That is why I continued my practice and decided to spread the word.
The Oldest Meditation Technique
Rediscovered 2500 years ago by Gautama Buddha, Vipassana is the oldest meditation technique and it literally means 'to see things as they really are', or 'insight into the true reality'. After that, the teaching was passed through a chain of teachers and culminated with the venerable S. N. Goenka. The course still maintains the guiding and structure that he gave ever since he started teaching in 1969.
One important aspect of the technique is that it is not connected with any religion – and it strongly focuses on each and everyone's personal experience. People from every religion, belief and wake of life are welcomed to do a retreat as the practice itself helps you to be a better human being. Vipassana is a truly self-transforming experience. It is based on self-observation and its scientific approach lies on the connection between mind and body – by focusing on the physical sensations of the body which of course are deeply interconnected with the deepest levels of the mind. This equanimity – towards pleasure and pain – perfected through observation is the one that helps dissolve all mental impurities – and results into a mind that is balanced and full of compassion. It should be added that his technique involves no chanting, no visualization or prayer – generally speaking, nothing brought by the external as it only focuses on the body sensations.
We are creatures of habit – and most often we don't even realize that we have a customary reaction pattern – we immediately jump to erroneous conclusions based on past experiences. We fail to listen and we victimize ourselves. We judge and accuse the others for our own misery. We are imbedded into a craving-aversion cycle in search for pleasure and avoidance of pain. On the other hand, the root level of our mind is in constant relation with our sensations. When observing our sensations and by not reacting to them – whichever they are – we break a pattern and realize at a deeper level that everything is changing, from moment to moment.
The Course
While Vipassana can be practiced at home, individually, there are centers throughout the world were the standard ten-day course is taught (the number of days varies though). Furthermore, there are no charges for the course and donations are accepted from those that have completed the course and wish to give others the opportunity to benefit from the practice.
The structure of the course is set – and throughout the length of it the participant must follow a code of discipline and very important – there is no connection with the outside world or any leisure activities allowed – such as writing, listening to music or reading. As for what the technique is concerned, the first three days one has to focus on the breath- without changing it- as it enters and leave the nostrils. This is done in order to sharpen one's attention and focus. From the fourth day on, the Vipassana technique is taught – observing the sensations throughout the body and learning how not to react to them. Although the long hours of meditation might seem a challenge, the truth is that the rewards are worth the effort. As you experience pleasure and pain throughout your body you eventually realize that same happens in your daily life when faced with situations that trigger negativity, anger, misery and unhappiness. Finally, on the last day of the course, the participants learn the practice of metta – which is the sharing of the purity, well-being and compassion with all beings.
The Art of Living
Personally, I have experienced many changes at the thought level – my thoughts have decreased – the monkey mind has lowered its tone- and I have learned to analyze each thought and see where it comes from. Besides introspection, one also gets better at how to handle conflictive situations. Instead of reacting, one learns to act – which is to wisely respond to a triggering moment – when you are so prone to be back to the habitual patterns of behavior. Furthermore, I have also started to smell, touch, listen and speak truly, without being caught up in the action-but realize their impermanence on one hand and their beauty on the other.
While Vipassana is a technique that is basic and simplistic, it is a thorough practice and it must be understood that the results are gradual, based on how much one meditates. This is a technique that only works through experience so forget about theorizing! On the other hand, joining a ten-day course will actually make you see consistent results and benefits that could already be applied in your everyday life. The goal, however is that one should live in a state of continuous meditation – by being aware of each moment and through maintaining detachment. On the long term, it will become a jewel that you will dearly cherish as the answer to all your problems.

In physics and chemistry, heat was energy transferred from one body to another by thermal interactions. The transfer of energy could occur in a variety of ways, among them conduction, radiation, and convection. Heat was not a property of a system or body, but instead was always associated with a process of some kind, and was synonymous with heat flow and heat transfer.
Wonder Woman's heat barrier was made of super heat.[2]
When Kolbar used his solar robot to move the Earth closer to the sun, this caused a massive heatwave all over the world that caused a lot of problems all over the world, including the melting of ice in the Arctic Circle, which endangered a Eskimo village.[3]
The heat of a volcanic fissure in Molesville made it impossible for the Mole family to go near the diamonds that were laying around it, because the heat was too intense.[4]
Mr. Vanderbulge told Doctor Gulliver that the glass that contained his star sapphire was impervious to heat.[5]

Unless you have been living under a rock for the last few years then you will be well aware of the Internet powerhouse that is "Facebook."
The social network site that let's you connect with friends, share photos, videos and play games with people all around the world.
In a very short space of time Facebook has gone from being a new and unheard of website, to total world domination. How many people do you know that do not have a Facebook profile?
My guess is that virtually everybody you know will use the site in one capacity or another. This has created some amazing opportunities for the savvy businessperson. You can use the site to generate huge amounts of new business.
Whilst many marketing "experts" will suggest that you simply mass add people to your friends lists and then spam them with CPA offers, there are some much more useful and effective ways of using the site, if you understand the secrets of Facebook.
Here are just a few of them:
Create a Community
By creating a group or fan page that is targeted to a specific niche, you will bring together a community of likeminded people. People who will all have an interest in the subject, and offers that may come their way from time to time.
Something that is often overlooked is how powerful content syndication can be using Facebook. By sharing interesting and informative information with people within your group you will find that those people begin sharing your content with their friends, and that is how viral marketing begins.
So think community, think quality content, and you could find yourself getting worldwide coverage sooner than you think.
Create an App
A very underused feature on Facebook amongst marketers is the mighty app. It is actually fairly easy to create your own Facebook application, and it doesn't have to be particularly flashy or technical either to be effective.
A simple application that gives "daily sales tips", or "daily dating advice" in text form, can actually be a very quick and easy way of creating a very large following for your business. If you like the idea of community, such applications can become very popular and go viral very quickly, giving you and your brand massive coverage. If you are not confident in putting an app together yourself then a freelance programmer should be able to do one for you fairly cheaply.
Think Keywords
It is very rare that I ever see anyone talking about the power of keywords and Facebook.
The site has a huge PR and is loved by Google, thus being spidered hundreds, if not thousands of times a day. If your group, app or fan page is keyword rich (rich, not stuffed) then you have a good chance of showing up somewhere in the SERPS for them.
This is of course dependant on proper keyword research, however with proper homework it is very possible.
With a little creativity, and a little out the box thinking, Facebook can be a great vehicle for generating interest and traffic to your site.
Let's connect on Facebook today. You can hook up with me by adding me as a friend.
Are you using Facebook for business, or pleasure?
Monika Mundell is a busy copywriter, digital nomad and lover of the great outdoors. If she isn't found typing words at her keyboard she is probably enjoying some downtime with her hubby, babies (pet birds), or stuck on some tropical island while cruising the world.
You can connect with Monika on Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn where she has been extremely un-busy over the last year. An influx of new followers might just animate her to get her act together.

Less is more! I rather put less beauty products onto my skin. But then there came a time when I was speaking to a lot of people about skin care and everybody does a few more cleansing steps more than I do. So I thought I might need to change my cleansing routine a little bit. Here are four different cleansing products that I've been using for a while now… (I've recently discovered the cleansing milk from Weleda, which I am using every morning and evening. Quite a big change for me now!)
But let's talk about my favorite products now! As I said, there are various products and I've just discovered that I've been using quite a lot of them: a cleansing foam / a cleansing balm / micellar water / cream cleanser / bi-phase remover / cleansing milk.
My skin type is normal but I tend to get reddened skin.
Favorite cleansing products -Creamy Remover-
For the no water in the morning people
- CLEANSING BALM by Sensilis (for dry and sensitive skin)
This is the perfect product for winter! You apply the cleansing balm on your face and gently massage it into your skin. It turns oily and takes off EVERY Makeup! Afterwards, you take it off with a hot towel, which is like a little spa treatment each evening (can be used in the morning too). The SENSILIS Ritual Care Cleansing Balm contains avocado oil and shea butter, which moisturizes and conditions my skin while bamboo extract promotes cell regeneration. Moreover, there is vitamin E, jojoba, sunflower and mimosa wax in it. One of my favorite products!
here / 23,40€
- Cream cleanser by Grown Alchemist
I bought this cream cleanser from Grown Alchemist on the recommendation of a friend. However, I haven't used the product so much in the last month. Somehow, I didn't manage to get it into my daily routine. However, I really like its consistence and it smells heavenly of olives. Maybe my skin just needs to get used to all those creamy cleaning products. One big plus is that it's organic cosmetic!
here / 100ml 32,99€
- Cleansing milk by Weleda (for sensitive skin)
I've been knowing Weleda's products for years now and have used the one or other product once in a while. Lately, I've started to use the almond cleansing milk, which I simply apply on my face and then massage it into my skin. Afterwards, you take it off with a wet wool pad. I cannot start the day without some water on my face, so I use the milk after washing it. To complete the routine I also use either the almond oil or almond moisturizer.
here / 75ml 7,75€
Favorite cleansing products -fresh & fluid remover-
For the first water morning people
- CLEANSING FOAM by Avène (for oily to normal and sensitive skin)
I have been super happy with this Avène Cleansing Foam for years, which was the perfect cleanser in the evening for removing my makeup – no needs for cotton pads! It contains Avène Thermal spring water. Since I'm not using waterproof mascara, I can't say if it works for it too. I had a fresh feeling afterwards and it removes lipids meaning oils and fats immediately off the skin which leads to a matte skin.
here / 150ml for 12,57€
- Bi-Phase Remover by La Biosthetique (for the eye-makeup)
If you have been following my beautypost for a long time, you may already know how much I love La Biosthetique's products. For me the bi-phase remover was a great extra product for removing stronger eye-makeup (as you can see the bottle is already empty). It also removes waterproof makeup without any problem and its ingredients are suitable for sensitive eyes.
here /100ml 22,90€
- MICELLAR WATER by Bioderma (or micellar cleansing wipes from Garnier for travelling) (for sensitive skin)
Since my discovery of the Bioderma Sensibio H2O I've been using it every single day. I'm the type of person who likes to have lots of fresh water in the morning and evening. Therefore, it's the perfect product which also cleanses my face and removes every make up.
Recommendation: I use wool pads to clean my face which prevents using up too much of it. Other people put it directly on their hands and splash the face. Works too!
here / 100ml 6,20€ – 250ml 11,61€
Have a wonderful day! More soon!

Russia has a history with marijuana that dates back to 600 BCE, when the Scythians, a nomadic Indo-European group first introduced hemp to southeast Russia. Like many other ancient cultures, Russia used the plant for its hemp fibers, "Hemp is cultivated throughout the greater part of Russia, and it is one of the principal crops in the provinces of Orel, Kursk, Samara, Smolensk, Tula, Voronezh, and Poland." The hemp became an important crop in Russia, so by the end of the 19th century, cannabis was a main source of revenue for some.
In addition to its strong fibers, Russia was also using cannabis for medical purposes when immigrants moved from Asia to the Russian republics to find the "exotic" cannabis. In the 1970s, most Russians still considered smoking as something alien and strange that only the Russian "bohemia" smoked. Smoking cannabis became even more common among young people after the Soviet Union fell, but it's still very unlikely Russia will legalize marijuana, according to the Russian Health Ministry's top drug specialist Yevgeny Bryun.

Beyond This Place- Documenting The Changing Roles of African American Fraternities and Sororities

This film competed in
Amid the climate of racial strife, hazing lawsuits, and questions of relevancy threatening the existence of African American fraternal organizations, members of the "Divine Nine" explore the importance and changing roles of Black Greek Lettered Organizations (BGLOs). In 2016 some believe that BGLOs, primarily depicted in popular media through the scope of stepping, are struggling to stay influential and at the forefront of our Nation's most pressing cultural challenges. While these organizations have historically been responsible for America's most influential social and political movements, including Civil Rights, many perceive their visibility (or lack thereof) as an indicator of their reduced contemporary influence. Can these century old organizations adapt to the times or have their rich legacies begun to fade? Beyond This Place is a documentary film that examines the rich culture of African American Fraternities and Sororities, while at the same time posing the question: "What is the role of these organizations in the 21st Century?" Some of America's greatest leaders; Nobel Peace Prize recipient Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Pulitzer Prize winning author Toni Morrison, sports icon Michael Jordan, and innovator George Washington Carver make up just a few of the thousands of initiated members responsible for historical advancements in our Nation's most influential movements, including Civil Rights. Today, many believe the century old organizations —Alpha Phi Alpha, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, Omega Psi Phi, Delta Sigma Theta, Phi Beta Sigma, Zeta Phi Beta, Sigma Gamma Rho and Iota Phi Theta — are no longer the innovative organizations they once were. Our film aims to examine the current state of Black Greek life while investigating solutions to the organizations modern day challenges from the perspective of both members and the communities they serve. Our story follows several members as they explore the benefits/challenges of upholding the legacy.

This last weekend, I spent some time up in the White Mountains at a Women's Retreat. Since I am a documentary filmmaker, they asked if I would come and give a presentation about documenting their lives. In the past, most people resorted to personal journals and photo albums as the tools to capture life experience. The digital video age has created new opportunities to more fully capture one's history. So, I agreed to do it.
As I prepared for the weekend, I kept making notes of things NOT to forget, mistakes that I made and operating practices that have come to serve me when I'm putting a documentary (large or small) together. So, for my faithful blog readers, I thought I might make a few suggestions. Be forewarned. What I have learned over the years is that everyone I have ever introduced to this medium LOVES it. They love being able to take their pictures, capture events and meaningful moments and then create a film about their lives. So, for those who want to start eating this elephant, here we go!
The FIRST major step in documenting your family history is:
- Gather all of your photos.
- Decide on your categories. This could be individuals, events or whatever categories you like.
- Then play the toss game. You can do this as a family. Everyone take a pile of photographs and start tossing them into the appropriate box.
- Once they are in their box, go through and place them in date order more or less. I suggest, if age appropriate that each individual can sort by date best. Let's face it. They like looking at themselves and this also triggers memories.
- So If I were you I would have your video camera set up on a tripod and record your family doing the toss game.
Tomorrow, SECOND major step! You can do this. This is an easy bite!

A Sense of Place
We are deep into our investigation of geography and are now focusing on a sense of place. With photographs on loan from the Museum of Boulder, students are carefully examining how places they recognize have changed over the past fifty years. In a few weeks. they will put their finishing touches on their traveling journals that will take a trip around the globe.
Living West-Colorado History Museum
Integrated in our study of geography and science, all 5/6 students visited the "Living West" exhibit at the Colorado History Museum to further understand how "Colorado's environment has shaped human history. At the same time, people's choices have shaped the land. Journey into the deep relationships between Colorado's people and its land through three stories: life at Mesa Verde 800 years ago, the 1930s Dust Bowl on the southeastern plains, and today's Rocky Mountains."

Douglas County students stared school this month. As these students entered their schools on the first day, they found that great teachers have moved on and new, and often unexperienced, teachers have taken their place. How does our Board of Education sleep at night knowing that teacher morale is at an all-time low and they have done nothing to learn why teachers feel so badly about the district and have held no one responsible for allowing morale to plummet well below neighboring districts?
A quarter of our students are being greeted by a new principal who most likely will spend his or her first year struggling to implement poorly defined reform initiatives that have been rushed to the table at the expense of staff and students. How does our Board of Education sleep at night knowing that many principals will be counting down the days until they too can leave a district where they aren't respected and that as a Board member, they have refused to acknowledge or hold anyone responsible for the high levels of building administrative turnover?
Many students entered school buildings that are in desperate need of repair. This year classes will be distorted and student will miss our on precious learning time because of operational failures within school buildings. how does our Board of Education sleep at night knowing that they have diverted millions of dollars away from our schools in order to pay for their reforms and have not addressed the real reasons why they are afraid a bond initiative won't pass-because parents and staff no longer trust them to spend precious tax dollars appropriately?
Parents will drop off their kids while silently hoping that the reforms imposed on their children won't affect their ability to receive a high quality education. Many elementary parents will be looking at their child's classroom and worrying if their child can succeed in a classroom where there are clearly too many kids. High school parents whose children are still on the 6 of 8 schedule will b e praying that their children use their vast number of off periods wisely and wishing that their kids could be in school for a full day. How does our Board of Education sleep at night with the knowledge that parent satisfaction is at an all-time low, knowing that they have done next to nothing to address the concerns of parents and instead have approved the hiring of a PR firm which will divert dollars away from the classroom in order to convince the public that all is well in this district?
Finally and most importantly, how do they sleep at night knowing that they were elected, not by the majority of parents and staff members, but as a result of tricking the 70% of the community who does not have children in the schools by fabricating problems in our district and accepting the financial assistance of hundreds of thousands of dollars from individuals and organizations outside of Douglas County? How do they sleep knowing that Fair Campaign Act laws were broken in order for them to win control of our student's future? How do they sleep knowing that their ties to political supporters often force them to make decisions that go against what is best for students, their families and the staff members who teach them?

Good Morning and Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I know I did. We were busy enjoying the gorgeous weather on Saturday and spent a fabulous Mother's Day together. Just the weekend anyone could hope for.
So here we are on another Monday morning and I'm bringing you a little DIY preview. I was hoping to work on these last week, I even made a trip to Michael's to get all of my supplies, but when I got home I couldn't find my Mod Podge! So bummed! So instead of blogging about a completed project, I thought I would show you what I hope to do!
Do you remember these shoes? I worked on them back in 2013, and I loved how they turned out, but they didn't stand the test of time....or walking! After all the primer, paint, and sealer, the paint still peeled off after the first couple of steps.
If you look closely, you can see the crease marks. I was so disappointed. And I apparently put them under the bed and forgot about them. How do I know they were under the bed? I found them just the other day. And I still loved them, but knew I just couldn't wear them in the condition they were in. So, I had an idea.....
Let's throw some silver glitter on them! Okay, I won't just throw glitter on them, I will paint glitter on them using the method from the glitter tennis shoes I replicated from Honestly....WTF tutorial in 2012! I think it could totally work. Fingers crossed!
Hoping to get these little guys finished by the end of the week, but we all know how the best laid plans can go..... It could be next month!
See you back here tomorrow!

The Gaslamp Killer is making an appearance at The 1up on Colfax this Thursday, August 7. Born William Benussen, GLK has been involved directly in producing and creating some of the most innovative electronic music and hip-hop of recent years. When he moved to Los Angeles from San Diego in 2006, GLK co-founded the popular and influential club night Low End Theory. The reach and impact of that weekly showcase went as far as Denver and proved inspirational to Qknox and Kalyn Heffernan of Wheelchair Sports Camp's Quantized Fitness.
Working with Flying Lotus and Mainframe, GLK produced Gonjasufi's 2010 debut album, A Sufi and a Killer which blurred the line completely between dub, experimental hip-hop and psychedelia. Those lessons GLK took to his own debut full length record, 2012's Breakthrough. Much like his supremely eclectic DJ sets, cultivated during his years spinning in San Diego and L.A., revealed GLK's gift for amalgamating ideas distilling them in fascinating ways so that Arabic and Persian rhythms could intertwine seamlessly with psychedelic rock and hip-hop.
GLK's idiosyncratic live sets can be hyperkinetic and deeply rhythmic or chilled out grandeur, and often some of both. That the man has been invited to play festivals as different in focus as Coachella and Austin Psych Fest is some indication of the cross-genre nature of his music. If you go, it won't be the standard DJ and laptop and obligatory throwing hands in the air between triggering and controlling beats on offer.
The Gaslamp Killer w/Eliot Lipp, SuperVision and Vibe Street, 8:30 p.m. doors, 9 p.m. show, Thursday, August 7, The 1up, 303-779-6444, $10 adv. / $15 d.o.s., 18+

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Huntsville Fire and Rescue crews are on the scene of a fire at a residence on Beard Street.
Witnesses say a woman and a three-year-old live in the building. And while the woman was outside, a neighbor spotted smoke and alerted her.
When fire crews responded, they were unsure if the child inside was in danger.
Authorities say the fire was mostly contained to the attic, and no injuries have been reported.
The family has since been relocated to another housing unit.

After a long delay of almost four years, the Indian Navy is scheduled to commission a new class of diesel-electric attack submarines lead boat INS Kalvari (Kalvari Class) in the month of August.
China and Pakistan are building up their underwater warfare capabilities and capacities at a remarkable rate. Chinese submarines especially have stepped up patrols in the Indian Ocean. In such scenario the introduction of the (Kalvari-class) diesel-electric attack submarine, INS Kalvari, will claim an important milestone in India's efforts to rebuild its worn-out submarine force. Currently the Indian Navy's fleet of diesel – electric submarines consists of 13 aging boats in many states of operational promptness.
Extended sea and weapon trials of the lead boat of the Indian Navy's new attack submarine class which will be commissioned in the next few weeks includes the test firing of a German SeaHake torpedo and the launch of a French-made Exocet SM39 anti-ship missile this year. The Exocet SM39 is a sea-skimming, subsonic, solid-fueled anti-ship missile with an approximate operational range of 50-70 kilometers depending on the alternative.
Even if these testing happen, INS Kalvari is still without its primary weapon system against enemy subs and surface warships. Due to corruption allegations, there was a cancellation of a contract for Black Shark heavyweight torpedoes, built by Whitehead Alenia Systemi Subacquei (WASS), a subsidiary of Italian arms manufacturer Finmeccanica.
There are alternatives to the Black Shark torpedo which includes the German-made SeaHake heavyweight torpedo and France's F21 Artemis. "The Black Shark torpedo was specifically purchased for the Indian Navy's future fleet of six Scorpene-class (Kalvari-class) diesel-electric attack submarines," I reported elsewhere. "A second batch of 49 Black Shark torpedoes was also to be installed aboard India's domestically developed and built Arihant-class of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines." According to Defence news
The Kalvari class submarine weighs up to 1,550 tons which is equipped with 533-millimeter torpedo tubes for launching anti-ship torpedoes, anti-ship missiles, and sea mines. Kalvari at present is not integrated with (AIP) i.e. air-independent propulsion system according to some reports. None of the six Kalvari –class submarines will be commissioned with AIP for now, perhaps, some Navy Officials have claimed that AIP could be added at a later stage during retrofit.
A $4.16 billion contract was awarded to a French shipbuilder Direction des Constructions Navales Services (DCNS). The contract is known as Project 75-I, which is to build six diesel electric attack submarines for the Indian Navy in co-operation with MDL in 2005. Initially the Project 75-I contract also included the option of manufacturing six additional Scorpene-class submarines at MDL, however the Indian Navy has recently issued a request-for-information from six other foreign manufacturers for six submarines with AIP technology. It's an 8 billion $ contract, The Diplomat reported last month. Shortlisted manufacturers also include DCNS, but the company is not likely to be selected because it encountered an embarrassing data leak. According to Defence News
INS Khanderi is a second Kalvari-class diesel-electric attack submarine, which was send out for trails at the sea last month. She is expected to be commissioned by the end of the year and four pending boats will be delivered at intervals of nine months by 2020.

Q Everybody always recommends drinking a lot of water. I find it to drink more than a few sips at a time. What is the point of drinking a lot of water? How much is a lot? What kind should I drink, spring or distilled? Why do I have such a hard time doing it?
A There are actually many opinions about water intake. In a macrobiotic diet, water is limited to small amounts of spring water: the bulk of your water is meant to come from grains and vegetables that are eaten in abundance.
Hulda Regehr Clark, Ph.D., M.D., in her book "The Cure tot All Diseases," recommends two pints of tap water daily -- not spring or distilled. "The cold water faucet may be bringing you cadmium, copper or lead, but it is safer than purchased water which inevitably has solvents in it. Let it run before using it. Filters are rather useless because water pollution comes in surges. A single surge of PCB contaminates your filter. All the water you use after this surge is now polluted, so you will be getting it chronically, whereas the unfiltered water cleans up again after the surge passes."
The definitive source on water is F. Batmanghelidj, M.D. His book "Your Body's Many Cries for Water" details an amazing account. Imprisoned by the revolutionary government of Iran in 1979, his execution was delayed so he could serve as a resident doctor among the prisoners. With no medication he used what he had, water. He prescribed two glasses of water to an ulcer patient with extremely severe abdominal pain. Within eight minutes, the pain disappeared and according to him a new era in medicine was born.
For the next twenty-five months, he was engrossed in clinical research of the medicinal values of water for stress reduction and in treating stress-related diseases in Evin prison, "a most ideal stress laboratory."
When his trial finally came, he answered the thirty-two fictitious indictments that carried the death penalty with a paper summarizing his research on water treatment of peptic ulcer disease. Sensing a public relations coup, the revolutionary government spared him. He voluntarily extended his prison stay to finish his research. Later, he escaped Iran to spread his discoveries to the rest of the world.
Batmanghelidj believes that chronic dehydration is our biggest health issue. Lack of water affects both the body and the brain. It can cause depression, stress, anxiety and physical diseases. "The human body is composed of 25% solid matter and 75% water. Brain tissue is 85% water. When we starve body' cells of water, they start to complain and set up many adverse reactions." Batmanghelidj has used plain old water to alleviate allergies, asthma, high cholesterol levels, headaches, low back pain, rheumatoid arthritis, angina and digestive pains such as colitis and ulcers. He believes that high blood pressure is a means through which tile body tries to hydrate cells. The attempt fails, however, because there is not enough water available.
How do we lose our thirst mechanism and become dehydrated to the point of chronic, unexplained pain? We use other fluids such as juice, soda, coffee and teas as substitutes for water. These beverages do not have the same effect as water. Many, particularly coffee, tea and soda, are actually dehydrating. People also tend to confuse thirst with hunger. Many people lose weight when they consume adequate amounts of water. In addition, as people age, they lose their thirst sensation and gradually become chronically dehydrated.
How much is an adequate amount? Six to eight eight-ounce glasses each day. Drinking with meals dilutes gastric juices. So, take one glass a half-hour before each meal and two hours after each meal. An extra glass of water should be taken before and after the heaviest meal or before going to bed. Batmanghelidj recommends using tap water, if it is not contaminated by heavy metals or other pollutants, because people who drink bottled water tend to not drink when the water they usually drink is unavailable. Chlorine will evaporate if the water is left standing in an open jug,
Six to eight glasses is a minimum. Every dehydrating beverage (coffee, tea, soda, alcohol) requires one glass of water to negate its effect. This use of water does not count towards the six to eight glasses. Water with a twist of lemon is weak lemonade and does not count. Ice water will work but it tends to shock the system.
Dehydration cannot be healed overnight by using large quantities of water. The body works like a sponge and must have ample and consistent access to water so it can saturate at its own rate. After several days of increased water intake, you may have to eat more salt. If you suffer from a heart or kidney condition that requires fluid restrictions, it would be wise to address these problems prior to consuming more water.
Some people may not improve because their bodies do not metabolize or utilize water properly. Essentially the water runs right through them. There are natural medical solutions to this condition. If you have a hard time drinking more than a few sips, you could be experiencing a copper toxicity. This would be the time to consult a natural medical practitioner.
Dehydration may not be your only health problem and drinking water may not be the only solution. But, our water balance always plays a role in how we feel and everyone should address the issue. Sometimes the best solution is the most simple. Drink water.
