Spring is here, which means Mother's Day is just around the corner. It can be hard to come up with good gift ideas, so I'm excited to share a few posts over the next couple weeks that will give you some fun ideas.
In today's post, I partnered up with LovePop cards to share a story about my "Other Mother." I first saw LovePop cards when they appeared on Shark Tank and I thought there were super cute. I'm a huge stationery fan and I love sending hand written notes – especially around the holidays. I loved these because each LovePop card has a 3D element in the middle.
Holidays can be such a joyful time, but they can also be really challenging times for some. At Mother's Day, perhaps someone has recently lost their mother or perhaps you know someone who did not give birth to her own children, but has been a wonderful mother figure to you or someone else. Now could be the perfect opportunity to acknowledge those people who may not fit into our traditional Mother's Day celebrations.
When I was in college, I spent 2 quarters abroad. I loved every minute of the trips, but there were certainly moments on each of the trips when I missed home just a little bit. The first trip was during my sophomore year and we went to Greece & Turkey. My second trip occurred in my senior year and I went to the Czech Republic. On each of my trips, I was fortunate to have a great Resident Counselor. They were both strong, kind, and caring women. They helped to make challenging times a bit easier – just like a "real" mother.
I remember when I was on my first trip in Greece, one of the girls on our trip misplaced her purse, which also happened to have her passport inside. We were getting ready to leave that town and were on a tight schedule. There were over 20 of us in the group, so it wasn't just as simple as catching the next bus, if we missed the one we were supposed to be on. Also, since you are required to have your passport on your person at all times, it was a pretty big deal. We couldn't leave that town until we found it. Now some people might have started to panic or maybe blame the girl for not being more careful, but not our resident counselor. She calmly took control of the situation, helped her retrace her steps, and talked to some people in the town. After a few minutes, she helped the girl to locate her passport. The best part? Everything in her purse was untouched. Also, we didn't end up being even one minute behind schedule!
So what about you? Do you have an "other mother" in your life? Maybe it's your Mother-in-Law, aunt, neighbor, sister, or friend?
From LovePop, I chose the Kangaroo card, the Bear Card, as well as the Ducklings card. They also had a super cute whale card and even giraffes.
If you would like to share your own story about your "Other Mother," you can do so here. Each nominated "other mother" will receive their own 3D popup card from LovePop. Also, 3 winners will receive a LovePop gift basket. Be sure to enter by May 5th!

What is significant?
The first four Sisters of the Good Shepherd Order arrived in Melbourne in 1863 at the invitation of Bishop James Goold and set up their Abbotsford Convent (VHR H0951). The order originated in Angers, France where they had provided care and protection for women and girls. In 1904 some of the Sisters from the Abbotsford Convent arrived in Bendigo at the request of Bishop Stephen Reville to set up St Aidan's Orphanage. A house and 40 acres of land had been purchased for the orphanage, funded by the estate of Rev. Father Dr Henry Backhaus. The Sisters also established a refuge for women. Bishop Reville stipulated that both boys and girls be admitted to the orphanage to avoid splitting up families and St Aidan's Orphanage became the only Good Shepherd convent in Australia to care for boys as well as girls.
A large French Medieval style building, designed by prominent firm Reed, Smart and Tappin of Melbourne and supervised by Keogh and Austen of Bendigo, was officially opened on 19 July 1905 before a crowd of some 2000 people. The imposing form of the building was alleviated by a simplicity of detail, asymmetrical massing and a picturesque tower with a bellcast roof. Between 1909 and 1912 the building was completed including a two-storey block for boys comprising dormitories and a dining room known as 'The Lodge' (now demolished). A separate laundry was built at the same time as the 1905 building but it is believed that the current laundry building dates from the late 1920s with an extension in the 1950s. In 1924 the cast iron entrance gates and fence were built.
The orphanage continued to grow and in 1930-31 a two storey building designed by EJ and KB Keogh was constructed to the east of the 1905 building. With its gables and Gothic arches, it complemented the 1905 building. The Sisters received a government grant of £7000 from the Unemployment Relief Fund towards the cost of the building and local unemployed men worked on the site. This was a major work in Bendigo during the Great Depression era. Opened by the Premier EJ Hogan on 14 June 1931, the building was widely admired for its modern conveniences including a separate sick ward and heating system.
Further accommodation was provided with the construction of a building in 1956 (not included in current ownership). By the 1970s the philosophy of the Good Shepherd Order had evolved from protecting people within the convent to helping people outside the walls of the convent and gradually the order?s large convents and institutions around Australia closed. During the 1970s residents and Sisters who were living at St Aidan?s were moved to houses outside the convent. The complex was sold to Girton College in 1984.
The imposing buildings were once surrounded by a large estate with a farm, orchard and park-like garden. The land has been reduced by subdivision, but the front garden survives. The garden includes seven Canary Island Date Palms (Phoenix canariensis), a Monterey Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa) hedge, a Golden Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa 'Horizontalis Aurea'), a Mexican Fan Palm (Washingtonia filifera), footings of two removed statues and curving drive and paths.
How is it significant?
St Aidan's Orphanage is of historical, social, architectural and aesthetic significance to the State of Victoria.
Why is it significant?
The complex has historical significance as one of the largest and most visible charitable institutions in the State. The orphanage and refuge had a long history of accommodating and educating generations of disadvantaged women and children. The 1931 addition to the orphanage is a tangible reminder of the extent of poverty during the Depression era, the rising number of State wards in the system and the increasing pressure put on institutions such as St Aidan's.
The complex is historically important for its associations with the Good Shepherd Sisters who have made a significant contribution to social welfare throughout Australia.
The complex is historically important for its associations with the Catholic Church and the important role the Church played in the history of social welfare in Victoria. The landmark buildings at St Aidan's Orphanage dominated the surrounding countryside, giving a high visibility to the charitable works of the Catholic Church and making a compelling statement about its authority. The complex has associations with significant members of the Church including Rev Dr Henry Backhaus, (1811-1882), pioneer clergyman of the Roman Catholic Church on the Bendigo goldfields, whose estate provided the land for the building and who is commemorated in the foundation stone of the main building. The complex has further associations with Bishop Stephen Reville (Bishop of Bendigo, 1901-1916) who initiated the establishment of the Orphanage. St Aidan is the patron saint of the diocese of Wexford, Ireland, the birth place of Dr Reville.
The former laundry has historical significance as a rare surviving example of a large industrial building attached to an institution attesting to the size of the complex and the nature of the work involved in its operation.
The complex has architectural significance as a visually cohesive complex built in a complementary style over a long period. The 1905 building is a substantial work from the important architectural firm of Reed, Smart and Tappin. This firm was responsible for the design of many important buildings such as the Royal Exhibition Buildings and Trades Hall, as well as the Good Shepherd Convent in Abbotsford. The buildings are given added drama and prominence by their location on the crest of a hill overlooking the landscaped grounds.
The complex has aesthetic significance for its landscape setting with its collection of palms and cypress and curving drive and paths. The garden, the footings of statues and the encircling fence contribute to an understanding of the place as a refuge from the outside world. Conversely, the spacious grounds were also used as a venue for events such as fairs, garden parties and religious celebrations which drew the outside community into the orphanage.
St Aidan's Orphanage has social significance for the large numbers of children and women who resided, worked and were educated at the orphanage and refuge.

In line with the Department's productivity improvement program, the Planning Service has developed an On-Line Tech Support Facility for dealing with the commonly encountered IT problems. These problems do not actually require the expertise of an IT tech personnel. An understanding of the basic connections of the different computer components is all that is needed in some cases. The more seemingly difficult problems can likewise be solved by the computer user even without extensive knowledge in IT, for as long as the user possesses the basic knowledge for setting up a computer and its operations. Consequently, if such were so, the productive time of the DOLE IT tech support personnel, as well as other IT users would be spent where his expertise is most needed.
IT users who have to wait for a tech support personnel to make their computers work are unproductive in that stretch of time. However, if they are able to fix their ICT problems with just the basic understanding, they become more efficient and effective in the delivery of outputs.
In view of the above, the Planning Service has developed the "Know IT" (Virtual Tech Support), a web-based online help facility that will serve as a tool to assist IT users on how to troubleshoot basic IT problems which are commonly encountered during daily operations. In this regard, the Planning Service proposes to conduct an orientation and training on the online help facility for personnel from OSEC, Services and Bureaus with minimal IT knowledge.

It's the creepiest time of the year.
Halloween is right around the bend, and if you've somehow managed not to get into the spookiness of the season, then let these first look photos from the set of the second season of "Fuller House" fill you to the brim with potential costume ideas.
Sure, the fact that "Fuller House" doesn't return to Netflix until December makes me want to scream "HOW RUDE!" at the top of my lungs directly at my laptop.
I guess these photos will have to tide us over for the next month...
Here's Candace Cameron Bure as D.J. dressed up as Goldilocks, after one of her three bears ate her fucking hand.
Looks like they cut... it... out.
That's right, D.J.'s kids have decided to go as the Three Bears. Oh, did I say "decided?" I meant they were probably coerced because no one in their right mind would go as one of the Three Bears.
What a truly lame AF costume idea.
Meanwhile, Kimmy Gibbler and her ex-husband Fernando went as Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz.
Kimmy, you got some 'splaining to do about what's going on between you and your former flame.
Below is Stephanie and Kimmy's brother Jimmy permanently scarring D.J.'s son Jackson and Kimmy's daughter Ramona.
But I've got to ask... what seven-figure jobs are the Tanner-Fuller residents rocking that they can afford to turn their household into Hollywood Horror Nights?
Realistically, all the random Halloween decor in this picture alone probably cost D.J. a casual $3,000.
Seriously, what gives?
Well, I guess we might get some insight when the second season becomes available for screening on December 9.
Maybe then we can get the Tanner-Fuller residence to release some tax returns because honestly, something is up. Don't you agree?

The Wines…
Bisol makes Prosecco, and very, very fine Prosecco at that.
At the entry-level price is the Jeio line: a Brut Prosecco DOC, a Brut Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG and a sparkling Rosé of Merlot and Pinot Nero. These wines are fresh, easy, delicious and frankly, a bargain. But an even better value comes from wines that draw their grapes from the unique vineyards in and around Valdobbiadene. The labor in the vineyard alone justifies the $20–$30 price range for the Crede, Relio, Rive di Campea and Cartizze bottlings. The fact that these wines are exceptionally fine, detailed, and expressive of site makes them among the best values in Italy. They are also crisp and vividly fruity without being explosively sweet.
…And Why They Stand Out
I'm an advocate for Prosecco. I think its fun, it gives us a break from taking things too seriously, and it is quite possibly Italy's most refreshing and accessible aperitif. Yes, much of it is industrially made from the plains of Veneto, and true, you are not going to find a lot of character in Prosecco … that is, until you reach the high hills of Valdobbiadene. There, the vineyards are dramatic, sun-kissed, complex little ecosystems, and the potential for exhibiting wines of style and eccentricity is rich.
Among a raft of producers in Valdobbiadene, Bisol is the one I know best, and the one I have been drinking the longest. The two best wines in their collection are Relio and Cartizze. The Relio is vinified Brut, and this dryness allows the minerality of the Rive di Guia to shine through on the finish. The Cartizze, however, has 25g of residual sugar, which rightly makes the wine more sumptuous (and addictive). That bit of sweetness is not at all cloying — it's more an illusion, and the notes of blueberries, pear, rye bread and violets that come through show that the unheralded Glera grape can in fact be terroir-expressive.
Originally listed: November 2018.
Visiting Bisol
Tastings: If you have not been to Valdobbiadene, you are in for a treat. It is not only one of Italy's prettiest wine regions, it is one of Italy's prettiest regions, period. Bisol is regularly open for visits Monday–Saturday (10am–1pm and 3pm–6pm) and Sundays (10am–1pm). Guided tours are available at 11am (every day of the week) and 4pm (Monday–Saturday).

Lester Holt/AP photo
Don't be surprised to find Lester Holt taking a stroll to chat up strangers and get a lay of the land during Super Bowl Weekend in the Twin Cities, no matter how low the temperatures dip.
"Wait a second, How cold are we talking here?" said the NBC News anchor Wednesday, shortly after signing off from his weeknight broadcast. "The weather is part of what makes this Super Bowl interesting. It sounds like Minneapolis is embracing the idea. 'Yeah, we're a cold-weather place and we love it.'"
Holt, who will read headlines from Nicollet Mall on Friday, Feb.2, and inside U.S. Bank Stadium the following evening, has some experience with frigid weather, spending part of his youth in Anchorage and working out of Chicago for 14 years. But he hasn't logged much time in the Twin Cities.
"This is really embarrassing, but I've never been to the Mall of America," said Holt, 58, who also hopes to take in some jazz music during any time off.
Holt, who will be covering his first Super Bowl as the lead NBC anchor, will be racking up the frequent-flier miles in upcoming weeks. In addition to shuttling from New York City to Washington DC for the State of the Union Address, he'll be in South Korea for the Winter Olympics, which is also being covered by his network.
"Part of the signature of 'NBC Nightly News' is taking the broadcast on the road a lot, whether it's for news or a fun, exciting event," he said. "The NFL is a major news story right now with the anthem protest, which caught the attention of the president. The concussion story remains a major story. The Super Bowl is when the spotlight is on the league and it's a good time for us to be there."
Holt admits his plans may get thrown for a loop if President Trump invites him to the White House that weekend for an in-person interview. In recent years, the leader of the country has traditionally agreed to a one-on-one interview during Super Bowl weekend with someone from the network that has the rights to the game. Holt said discussions between NBC and the White House are taking place, but that nothing has been determined yet.

She's Just 9!
"Hello?" Someone said in a very attractive locution. I was struck by the familiar yet strange voice. I stopped short, my journey to the bathroom became suddenly irrelevant until I satisfied my curiosity. I crawled behind the cream curtains that divided the sitting room from the narrow passage and peeked. There she was! Pacing to … Continue reading She's Just 9!

It was just a matter of time before our ideologically flexible president started making deals across the aisle. The result is a $15 billion Harvey relief package that includes short-term debt ceiling and government funding increases, along with the promise of a messy end-of-year negotiation process.
President Donald Trump most likely equates making deals with getting things done. But all deals aren't created equal, and for anyone who believes in fiscal responsibility, this deal, which passed the House and the Senate in spite of many disgruntled members, was particularly lousy.
First, considering our $20 trillion debt, the only acceptable deal would have been one that included a long-term extension of the debt ceiling in exchange for placing fiscal constraints on spending growth. Instead, the president's deal extends fiscal uncertainty and debt ceiling drama to December.
The timing is also awful. The need to raise the debt ceiling will coincide once again with the fiscal crunch of budget negotiation. That will inevitably reinforce the belief that Republicans can't govern and will lead to more debt and spending. Many Republicans who want to demand budget caps in exchange for raising the debt ceiling will feel they can't press for them unless they're willing to risk a government shutdown. Others who want a smaller funding bill will go along with more spending to avoid a government default.
That is why Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, House Freedom Caucus member and former chairman, has already said the caucus will ask party leadership to extract the next debt ceiling debate from the broader budget negotiations. Caucus members will also demand a plan that provides unilateral authority for the debt ceiling to be raised only if Congress sticks to spending caps as a share of gross domestic product that will be…

The idea of previous birth and rebirth is not only of significance to religious or spiritual leaders but also to those who are rationalistic and analytical about such ideas/experiences/beliefs. If we do not accept the idea of the past births or of the future births of the soul, we will have to rethink our lives and the way we live it. Why? The fundamental premise in our argument is about the existence of the soul. If we do not accept the idea of the existence of the soul then whose birth or rebirth are we talking of? Then it will be like the philosophy of the Charavakas: "rinam kritva ghritam pi bet"; meaning enjoy even if you have to borrow to do so...in other words, enjoy with no strings attached. (Literally, the phrase means borrow if you have to and drink ghee...the first part of this phrase says live happily as long as you do. It suggests that you neither have to be grateful or indebted to anyone...).
If I am, then;
Who am I?
Where did I come from? Where will I go?"
Along this strain of thought, man begins to wonder where or which heaven he will go to after death. These questions create the desire to know about previous births.
Following excerpts are from Life after Death: Essence and Truth, written by Pandit Shri Ram Sharma. The aim is to convey that the idea of rebirth is not exclusive to Jainism alone. Even other religions believe in it, says Pandit Sharma with supporting evidence.
Consciousness does not begin and end with birth and death, the soul lives on to take on subsequent births. As far as Indian religion or philosophical thought is concerned, it has always believed in eternity of soul and rebirth. This is the basis of spirituality that the whole world believes in and various religions have given various theories regarding the concept of rebirth. All religions believe in the imperishability of the soul and a body that is mortal. Immortality of soul and belief in rebirth has been the basic concept of Hinduism. All Indian religious scriptures have repeatedly stressed on the concept of rebirth. Even the 'Puranas' testify this and it is recorded in the voice of the Supreme that He will take birth again and again. The Bhagavad Gita likens rebirth to the act of changing clothes. A living being takes birth again and again. The idea is that those who live a virtuous life are rewarded with the heavens and those who commit crimes go to hell. In the 22nd sloka of 2nd chapter of the Bhagavad Gita Sri Krishna tells Arjuna, "Just as when man discards his old clothes and wears new ones, he is discarding only the clothes not himself. Similarly the soul leaving the old body migrates to the new." In the 4th chapter, 5th sloka Sri Krishna says, " Both of us have taken many births. Since I am divine, I know my previous births and you as a human are not able to recollect them."
Generally, it can be said that the two major religions of Christianity and Islam do not believe in rebirth. But if one goes through them very closely, one finds they too believe in it, if indirectly.
The great scholar Professor Max Mueller in his treatise on' Six Systems of Indian Philosophy' has established the fact that Christianity is not averse to the idea of rebirth.
Plato and Pythagoras have established this fact in their philosophical treatises. Roman scholar Origen, 3rd century A.D. has clearly stated that repeated birth may turn a man into angel and an angel into man. Even the wicked who atones for his sin, may, with the chain rebirth take birth as a good human being or as an angel. The famous scholar of Judaism, Jojephus has given the example of Jewish soldiers who were encouraged to go to the battlefield with the promise that after meeting death they will be born again. He has written, '... all souls are pure'. A good man's soul enters a good man whereas the wicked ones are punished. After some time they are sent again to take another birth. The cycle goes on. People who commit suicide are sent to a dark underworld, which is known as Hades. The idea of Jojephus is very similar to the explanation given in Isha Upanishad:
Andham tamaha pravishanti ye ke cha atmahano janaha
Those who end their own life, go to dark recesses of the world
In Judaism, rebirth is termed 'Gilgulim'. In the 'Kabbalah' too rebirth is accepted[1]. In Zohar, their religious text, it is clearly stated that every soul has to take repeated births. The oldest sect of Christianity is the Gnostic sect. All Gnostic scholars were wise and noble people and they believed in rebirth. During the 3rd and 4th centuries A.D, a sect known as Manichaeism, founded by an Iranian prophet Mani, was popular and was briefly the main rival to Christianity. Eventually it faded out (approximately by the 14th century). That faith also believed in rebirth. The famous historian Edward Gibbon has written in his book, 'The Decline and Fall of Roman Empire', that disciples of Jesus believed in rebirth. According to him the famous preachers of Christianity like Clemens, Alexandrinus, Synesius and Chalcidius also believed in rebirth; even some of the European scholars and philosophers like Goethe, Hume and Schopenhauer believed in the concept of rebirth. In the "Wisdom of Solomon", Lord Jesus says that 'John the Baptist' is the reincarnation of Aliz (Ilyas). In the third chapter of Bible, paragraphs 3-7, he says, 'Don't be surprised if I say you will be reborn'. Saint Paul is supposed to be the reincarnation of Jesus. Ancient preacher of Christianity - Origen has said that man has to undergo rebirth according to his past deeds. Western philosophers like Plato, Plotinus, Kant, Tennyson and John Masefield believed in the concept of rebirth.
The great Greek philosopher Pythagoras believed that the soul transmigrates. This takes place according to one's deed in the previous birth, which is known as 'Karma' according to Hindu philosophy. Plato has also said that those souls, which have attained purity and not at all interested in the body or the material are not reborn. They are freed from the cycle of birth, death and rebirth. G.L. Flair in his book "Uncertain Border' has said that on death we do not go anywhere but remain here itself as we have always been.
Therefore it is, that even though rebirth may not be articulated as such or in great detail by religions across the world, it seems to have been an underlying premise to hold people's conduct in place. Indeed, the idea of rebirth ensures that life is led with rectitude.
In Arabic the transmigration of the soul is known as Tanasukh. Even though the Quran does not explicitly state that there is rebirth, it not denied either. It is said, 'man, you have to go towards your God. He is Allah. With effort and pain you have to climb the rungs of the ladder to Him."
There are many ayats in the Quran which, when read closely say that just as creation is followed by its completion and its re-creation, man too is born repeatedly. One of them is like this," I have created you of the earth and I will send you back into the same earth and then recreate you, repeatedly till the end." Another ayat says, "Kephatkaphoorna billahe", that is, how can you refuse Allah, the Merciful One. You were dead. He has given you life again. He will kill you again and revive you again, such that in the end you return to Him. " There are many such examples which talk of the continuity of life after death.
Famous Sufi scholar Saint Maulana Rumi says that he has evolved from plant, insect, animal, bird and finally he is born as human being. He wishes to attain the status of angel for which he is trying hard. According to the ayats in the Quran there are number of Sufi Saints like Ahmad-bin-Sabit, Ahmad-bin-Sabus, Abu-Muslim-Khorasani, Sheikh-ul-Ishraq, Umar Khyaram, Al-Gizali to name a few who are known for their firm belief in the concept of rebirth. They have based their belief on the basis of the chapters 61 to 92 of Soor-tul-mubarak and chapter 55 of Soor-tul-mayada.
The Encyclopedia of Islam throws light on rebirth or Tanasukh extensively. According to it, many Islamic sects believe in rebirth, the Shias being one such. The Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics clearly states that apart from Indians, Iranians, Parsis, Egyptians, Jews, Greeks and Teutonics believe in rebirth. In the same book, the 12th volume, mention the aborigines of Africa, Australia and America saying that they too believe in rebirth.
Once rebirth was a topic for discussion only among religious leaders and philosophers. Both these areas are predominantly based on faith and without proof for no conclusive evidence can be had on rebirth. So research has moved into the field of science to find evidences. In this context, the kind of evidence gathered by scientists and psychologists has redeemed the doubt about rebirth to a large extent. People are being forced to give up their old beliefs. Indeed rebirth is the next step of our life. It is the measure of our self. This belief lends much morality and hope to our character.
Kabbalah (Hebrew: pJvV1. literally "receiving/tradition"[l]) is an esoteric method, discipline, and school of thought that originated in Judaism.

You Won't Believe These Electric Cars Are Coming Next Year! - Vauxhall Corsa-e
Vauxhall Corsa-e
Order books for the Vauxhall Corsa-e have already opened and first deliveries will take place early in 2020. Including the UK's plug-in car grant discount of £3,500, prices start from £26,490: that may seem a tad steep, especially given that the 50kWh battery only delivers 205 miles of range, six less than the Peugeot e-208. However, monthly finance of £270 could put the Corsa-e on plenty of buyers' radars.
The next car on our list sees one of the best-known British marques embrace the electric future...

A Makeup Artist's Trick for Removing Eyeliner That Has Been Fossilized Onto the Lash Line
Rachel Lapidos・November 6, 2018
Raise your hand if you've been afflicted by fossilized eyeliner. You know what I'm talking about: The horror of finding that a liner was just so budge-proof that it settled into place in 1999 and never left the party. Or alternatively, that feeling when you wake up in the morning looking like a sad prom queen from excess mascara that held onto lashes for dear life while washing and somehow chose overnight to let go. It's an interesting dilemma, because you want that eye makeup to stay long enough to do its job, but not past the sink.
While the natural reaction is to try scrubbing and wiping away that makeup with a simple facial cleanser or makeup remover, the key is really about perfecting your technique, and that technique involves a Q-tip. To properly get off every last bit of that black around your eyes, consider it your secret weapon.
"I always just wanna start by putting Bioderma on a Q-tip and just going around the eyes to make sure that there is no makeup buildup from previously," says Katie Jane Hughes, a celebrity makeup artist who works with everyone from Ashley Graham to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (who she appears in the tip-filled video with). When I reach out to another veteran makeup artist Molly R. Stern, she echoes the effectiveness. "Using a Q-tip can help make sure you really remove all the build up in the lashes," she says.
It's brilliant because micellar water is the go-to French girl way to cleanse your face, and the cleanser itself—which is light, liquidy, and contains tiny oil molecules that bind to the oil in products—works to sweep the excess away. Twirl the Q-Tip from the inner corner of the lash line to the outer corner, so that it can get into all the nooks and crannies of your eye to get off every. last. bit. of makeup. Together, they're the power duo of making your face a squeaky-clean blank canvas.
Speaking of keeping your wallet happy, here's what happened when one editor tried a drugstore beauty routine. And this is how to shop the buzziest skin-care ingredients at the drugstore, according to a dermatologist.

- John Mahama has accused the Akufo-Addo administration of using the Criminal Investigations Department of the Ghana Police Service to "constantly harass" NDC members
- The former president said the CID's reason for inviting the NDC's chairman is "very useless, frivolous and vexatious" allegations
Former president John Dramani Mahama believes the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) is behind the CID's latest invitation of NDC National Chairman, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo.
On Wednesday, May 8, 2019 the CID summoned Mr. Ampofo and opened fresh criminal investigations against him.
In a letter, the CID said the NDC National Chairman may be connected to recent kidnapping cases as well as market fires that have hit the country.

"...some persons picked up for interrogation and investigation have mentioned your name as part of a grand scheme designed to cause fear and panic in the country," the letter reads.
Mr. Ampofo has been under fire in recent months after an audio attributed to him leaked in the media.
The content of the leaked tape drew widespread criticism from a section of the public, with many condemning him.
In the audio, he is heard saying many things, including urging verbal attacks on the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensa.
Mr. Ampofo is also heard saying that NDC communicators are free to insult the Peace Council Chairman.
While he is already standing trial for conspiracy to assault a public officer and conspiracy to cause harm over the content of the leaked tape, the police has now fingered him in the recent fires and kidnappings across the country.
However, Mahama believes the NDC Chairman is being treated unfairly and being subjected to 'police harassment.'
Addressing a gathering at Jamestown, as part of his tour of the Greater Accra Region, Mahama said Mr. Ampofo cannot be arrested based on frivolous allegations.

"No amount of harassment of our National Chairman will save the NPP from defeat. Indeed, it is a sign of desperation that the Chief Executive of our party, the Chairman of our party is constantly being harassed by the Police Authority," the NDC flagbearer said.
"...They should remember that in everything they do, they are setting a precedent. You cannot take any frivolous and vexatious investigation and be inviting the National Chairman of the biggest opposition every day to the CID headquarters on very useless allegations.
"We are advising the NPP if you deliver on your promises, the people of Ghana will look favourably at you. If you have failed, don't [out of your desperation] decide to harass our party officials," he added.
Meanwhile, Mr Ampofo has been summoned to report at the CID headquarters on Thursday, May 9, at 2:00 pm.

Let's take a fresh look at Judges 4:8-10. The period of the Judges is an interesting time in the life of Israel. It was the time between the death of Joshua, who brought Israel in from the wilderness and Saul, the first king. It was a time when the older wise people of the village ruled at the city gates. They were called "the judges." These judges were called "shofet." And were restricted to a legal function. This lasted for 300 years.
When there is a special need for the people, God calls someone forward to be a leader, these special leaders took a wider role: Gideon, Samson and Samuel One thing we know is that the book is not in chronological order. It is a collection of the stories and events that took place during this time. But today we talk about Deborah.
When the battle is over and the victory is theirs, they sing the song of Deborah, the whole 5th chapter. In that day, songs were a way of remembering the history. At a time when a lot of the masses couldn't read or write, to sing a song to a popular tune was the way of communicating the story. In the Moses account we have the Song of Miriam. The Song of Deborah begins and ends with praise to God.
Look close at what takes place in this short story of Deborah. "Deborah" is the Hebrew word for "honeybee." A name that stands out, since women normally were quiet and in non assuming roles. She has a family and still finds time to be a leader. But she was known for her fearless courage. She was also called a "prophetess." She won this title by her faith in God and the inspiring insights that God granted to her. She held court under a palm tree, known as the "Palm of Deborah."
Deborah has a vision and goes to Barak: JDG 4:6 "The Lord, the God of Israel, commands you: `Go, take with you ten thousand men of Naphtali and Zebulun and lead the way to Mount Tabor. I will lure Sisera, with his chariots and his troops to the Kishon River and give him into your hands.'" Sisera's army is powerful and Barak is not only afraid of Sisera's army but is Deborah really telling what God has said? But now it is an issue of faith!
Barak does a very human thing, he says, prove it. JDG 4:8 Barak said to her, "If you go with me, I will go; but if you don't go with me, I won't go."
I recently had a conversation with a dear friend who had lost many loved ones in her lifetime. Several key deaths in a short period of time. Most of those deaths tragic and horrible. AIDS, cancer, Alzheimer's and some unknown. This Christian woman, wondered if God still brought healing? Hundreds of prayers prayed, some travailing and from the gut. None healed or made well. Look around at the violence and war, she said. Wars in Africa, Middle East, eastern Europe. Why doesn't God answer these prayers? I still believe in God. But God must be impotent!
This sounds a lot like Barak, doesn't it? Where has God been for the last 20 years? Where was God when the children were dying? Where was God when people became homeless?
Why haven't our prayers been answered? Christians struggle to live good lives and to make a difference in the world and yet God allows Christians to die. Missionaries are put in prison for their faith. Persecuted for the lives Christians live. Why doesn't God intervene?
I fully understand were Job was coming from. Where are you God when I need you?
When my family and friends say it is better to die than go through this. It is easy in this hard life to become skeptical or critical. It is easy to put ourselves down and say "God loves them better than me." It is easy to convince ourselves that our faith is poor and that God isn't answering our prayers because of our lack of faith.
Faith, hope and trust, they don't come easy to Barak, or for many of us. So he does something very important. He decides to have faith! He doesn't have what it takes, but he knows Deborah does. He decides to have hope! He doesn't see the rainbow at the end of the cloud, but Deborah does. He decides to trust God! I don't know where You have been for the past 20 years, but I make this choice. He is saying, "God I don't have the faith that will move mountains." "God I don't have a hope that can withstand everything." "God I don't have a trust that is limitless." But I can break the cycle by choosing to start!

Unusual recall from the Japanese giant.
Toyota is recalling a small batch of certain 2018 model year Camrys for a perplexing and rather serious engine problem. Some 1,730 examples of the ever-popular midsize sedan are being called back for engines that somehow left the factory with pistons that are too large for the cylinder heads. The out-of-spec parts could "cause the vehicle to run rough, create an abnormal sound, emit smoke from the exhaust, and illuminate warning lights and messages."
There's also a risk the accidentally oversized pistons could cause the engine to drastically lose power or stall completely. Toyota says the issue stems from a particular production period in late December 2017 through to mid-January 2018 in which pistons were manufactured with a slightly larger diameter than spec. Complaints regarding a lack of acceleration and a sluggish feeling powertrain begin appearing on the NHTSA consumer complaint page at the end of January. The company hasn't actually specified if the incorrect pistons were installed in the Camry's 2.5-liter four-cylinder of the 3.5-liter V6, but it did announce it will begin notifying affected customers by the end of May at the latest.
Dealers will be tasked with inspecting the production date codes of the pistons. Should they find a match, instead of simply replacing the faulty parts, the company will install a brand new engine at no cost to the customer. It's the second significant recall in quick succession for the 2018 Camry. Nearly 12,000 V6 Camrys were recalled in February for incorrectly installed fuel lines that could cause a leak and subsequently catch fire. The new Camry has been on sale since mid-2017 and is offered in 11 different flavors split between three powertrain options. Pricing starts at $23,495 and can wander all the way to $34,950 for the XSE V6.

Dear Brian,
Hi. Me again. I read this morning that you were, well, a tiny bit frosted at that thing me and a few thousand of my closest friends told you last night.
And I couldn't help notice you decided to fight fire with gasoline:
Wait…sorry, that's not what you said, was it?
No, Brian. I've never captained the US national team to a 5-0 defeat against Mexico. I've never helped revive our worst enemy at their lowest point. I've never worn the armband during one of the most gutless, heartless, abject performances in the history of the program.
I'm sorry for your loss in this time of your greatest heartbreak, but render unto me a ********ing break. Brian, exactly what is it that you think you do for a living?
I don't even know where to start with this – well, yes, I do. The Zenger defense. Don't get mad at me, Brian. Get mad at Bob Bradley. You've had over a week to figure out your position with the United States National Team, and not a single Galaxy or Red Bulls fan had anything to do with that decision. If people tell lies about you, that's their problem. If people tell the truth about you, whose responsibility is that?
So it wasn't tactful.
And I can't even begin to unpack that, either. You went to Harrison and Carson looking for politeness? You're on the center circle, trying to make something of your post-international career, your team is in a free fall like the whale in "Hitch-Hiker's Guide," the whistle's about to blow, and your thoughts are "Gee, I hope they're nice to me tonight"?
David Beckham, your thoughts?
When Taylor Twellman was dropped in 2006 to make room for some empty jersey that ended up playing no minutes while Brian McBride was getting the hell beat out of him in a 4-5-1, you know what he did? He set about proving Bruce Arena wrong. He helped his team win.
And what did you do last night? You put a big freaking target on your back. "Opposition fan chants get to me" is not the message you want to send. If you think the "Oh, how COULD they" nonsense I've been reading today is going to slow down other supporters groups – well, you'd think I wouldn't have to tell this to someone who has accomplished so much in the game.
Maybe this is completely baffling to some, but as a fan, I'd prefer my team win, and the other ********ers lose. Preferably by a score of, I dunno, 4-1 or something.
Look, Brian, I realize you're in an unusual position as the very first player ever to be dropped from a national team. But crying about opposition fan chants won't help – what?
Yes, I know. You wanted to play in the World Cup, and now you might not. That's never happened to anyone before. There there.
Sure, we would have cheered you if Bob Bradley thought you were up to the task of performing better than Robbie ********ing Findley. But he didn't, so we won't. As the French say, life's a bitch.
However, before you ask us all to hum "American the Beautiful" while weeping longingly into our King Kamehameha state quarters, why don't you look in the mirror, and ask yourself how quickly those tears will dry up if Altidore can't go.
Thanks – I'm glad we've had this time together.
Love always,
Dan the Fan
(By the way, is it okay for Galaxy and Red Bulls fans who don't support the US to boo Ching? I mean, as long as we're passing rules now. We weren't going to stop at "Only Dynamo fans get to boo opposing players," were we?)

I've been getting a lot of 502's this past week, as well as some very long loading times when ever I make a post or check my notifications. Has this been happening to anyone else?
This has been happening to me, too.
EDIT: It happened just now, loading this reply.
EDIT EDIT: The first edit didn't save because it took so long to load.
At least the 403s aren't back yet.
knock on wood
We are aware of the issue and are looking into resolving it as soon as possible.
The legend returns...
I think it's getting better...
yeah this happenned to me a lot today
I had long wait times a few days ago (before this topic was made) but everything since has been pretty quick.
Yeah I think it got fixed or laying dormant, waiting for the next opportunity to strike
I hate these.
Discourse really has to provide better service on their servers if they want anyone to use them.
Just wish the cast didn't have to keep worrying about these.
I think we need a Discord chat.... surprised we do not have one yet.
We do, actually.
Do we really? - I didn't know..... I suppose it's not for everyone tho, is it?
Anyhow, I'm getting off topic but I still got the error twice today.... so I suppose it's worth mentioning that it is still a very real problem.
I got used to these issues back in the day when the boards literally died every week or so
it's still like that tho
I'm starting to experience it as well the long load times even when I comment this right now and just a few minutes ago maybe 10 minutes I got the 502 Bad Gateway
Yeah, these past few days the load times have been rather poor.
eeh yeah in the past two-three days i've been having a ton of 502s and endless loadings
We've been in communication with our service provider and they're moving us onto a new server.

For one of the episodes of F.S.D., we have the Nam Wan tunnel on Hong Kong's Tsing Yi island as one of our locations. It was the first time ever a Hong Kong production got permission to shoot inside a road tunnel.
The plot concerns firefighters handling the aftermath of a huge traffic accident inside the tunnel and the rescue of survivors. Our cast and crew had to pull an all-nighter— finish shooting four pages of scripts within our five-hour limit. We had 40 fire trucks, ambulances and other vehicles, in addition to over 80 extras involved in scenes that featured car crashes, explosions, stunts and dialogue. The 34-degree heat and lack of ventilation inside the tunnel made the process felt like an army marching to battle— time was running out and there were challenges every step of the way! I told myself that failure was not an option and pulled it off efficiently with the understanding that great planning also needs to be matched with good fortune. When the episode was released, it was lauded by the district head of the fire department. This is the most unforgettable experience in my thirty-plus-years of experience as a filmmaker.
Terence Yung Chi-chung was born in Hong Kong in 1952. After graduating from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University with a degree in design, he worked as designer for a newspaper and then as cameraman and director for television. In the 1980s, he joined the ranks of the fabled Hong Kong New Wave, producing and planning projects for production companies like Cinema City, D&B and Golden Harvest. He has worked with directors such as Allen Fong, Ronny Yu, Ann Hui, Yim Ho, Rachel Zen, Jackie Chan, Tony Au, Lawrence Lau, Fruit Chan and Teddy Robin. Among the productions he worked on were The Secret (1979), Father and Son (1981), Cream Soda and Milk (1981), Ah Ying (1983), The Last Affair (1983), Project A (1983), It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World (1987), Chicken and Duck Talk (1988) and Made in Hong Kong (1997).
In the 1990s, Yung was a director for the television department of Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK), responsible for sociallyconscious programs with topical, educational and informative touches. In 2010, he traveled to countries such as Cambodia and India and shot a documentary about Hong Kong volunteers working in foreign countries.
Besides winning awards in Beijing, the television programs Yung directed had also won at the Chicago International Film Festival, Telly Awards and The Accolade Awards in the United States.
Yung had directed one feature, Way to Success (1993), a film about running a prostitution ring, made with a touch at once social and satirical.

Developed by Betsoft, RockStar is a 2D-slash-3D video slot game that packs in a lot of features and story. It's really no surprise that RockStar remains one of Betsoft's most popular online slot machines despite there being so many newer options in the library. RockStar is completely playable in an arcade mode, so players can practice their hand at the skill-based bonus game before ever risking real coins.
RockStar essentially tells the story of Guns N Roses' meteoric rise to success. The game doesn't come out and call them GnR directly, but Axl is clearly Axl and Slash is clearly Slash. Like most of the 2D/3D hybrids by Betsoft, RockStar does a fantastic job of telling a story and creating atmosphere. We're also quite impressed with the rock-and-roll soundtrack, which is far beyond anything we've experienced on a slot machine before.
Click here to play for real money at the Bovada Casino and get up to a $3,000 bonus!
Demo Rockstar Slots for Free
Play this awesome game for real money at the Bovada Casino and get up to a $3,000 bonus.
RockStar employs five spinning reels and 30 bet lines. The game allows one to five coins per line, and players can choose how many bet lines are active for each spin. Line count is dictated in twos all the way up to 27, at which point, the last three lines are set individually. Coins range from 0.2 to 1.00, which means that the minimum bet is .02 and the maximum bet is 150.
How to Play RockStar Slots
Players who want the best odds and a shot at the biggest payouts can simply click Max Bet Spin, which sets the maximum bet and then spins the reels. For players who prefer to micromanage, there's a series of image-based buttons at the bottom of the screen: Choose Coin, Bet Per Line, Select Lines and Spin. To review the paytable, click the View Pays button in the top right-hand corner.
The game begins with an elaborate 3D intro that you can bypass by clicking Skip. When play begins, you're greeted by flashing lights and mostly 2D graphics that'll transform into 3D action as play transpires. The game has 12 unique symbols, and the max payout on a single line is only 100 coins; however, the real jackpot potential is in the Wild Multiplier Mania special feature and the Epic Solo bonus game.
Here's the payout table below so you can understand how you're winning:
Rockstar Slot Special Features & Bonus Game
RockStar has two unique yet interchangeable wild symbols: a gold record symbol and a platinum record symbol. The wild symbols have a built-in multiplier. The gold record has a 2x multiplier. The platinum record has a 5x multiplier. If both a gold and platinum record are used to form a winning combination, then the multiplier value increases to 10x. Therefore, even though the top line jackpot is only worth 100 coins by default, it can increase to as much as 1,000 coins, which is quite lucrative for this setup.
If you hit 3 of "Slash's" guitar symbols in a row, then you will get the Epic Solo bonus, which is an on-the-reels bonus feature awarding a random amount of credits.
"Slash" will walk out and rock a guitar solo – random symbols will light up and turn into the number of credits you've won.
RockStar at the height of the Guitar Hero craze. The RockStar bonus game is essentially a Guitar Hero clone. When you hit
three or more adjacent concert ticket symbols, you launch the RockStar bonus game.
A song will play, and you'll be presented with color-coded strings and other guitar features. Your goal is to respond to the visual cues on screen, but the music itself helps you to keep rhythm as well. This bonus game is quite good, one of a kind, and the main reason why the RockStar slot machine is still so popular. This is a skill-based game, and players good at rhythm-based games can max out the bonus game with relative ease.
RockStar is a great slot machine and truly unique. Most of its jackpot value is tied up in the wild multiplier feature and the bonus game. Due to this, calculating odds and RTP is difficult, if not impossible, and that's a big turnoff for the player who wants to know exactly what he or she is playing for. Nevertheless, if you like rhythm games, then RockStar is an exciting and lucrative option. Our advice is to play the max bet at all times, which will give you the greatest chance to launch Epic Solo. Once you've launched it, maxing it out is simply a matter of keeping rhythm.

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce you to my short playlist of August:
Starring Armin van Buuren, Sunnery James and Ryan Marciano. They adore you. You are sexy. Fire, their desire, they want more. From you. Whoever you are.
And Kaaze, an aspiring Swedish artist from Revealed Recordings. He makes much noise with Triplet. As I like it.
Steve Angello must not be missing. Rejoice ist the first released track of his second and upcoming album. In my opinion his first is already one of the best EDM albums.
Tiesto and Sevenn close the playlist with a visual masterpiece. And a lot of acoustic BOOM, BOOM, BOOM. And BOOM.
Carnival for all friends of electronic dance music. A fiasco for all its enemies.

Andre Delorme Blanc de Blanc NV
Methode Traditionelle bubbles from Burgundy.
Pale straw-yellow, near colourless on rim, sparse but fine bubble with modest persistence. The bouquet is up-front with aromas of white stonefruits and nuts, melded with autolytic lees and yeast nuances, building in depth revealing soft chalky nuances. Dryish to taste and medium-light bodied, this is elegant and slender in presentation with bright, light white floral and stonefruit flavours. The palate is crisp and mouthwatering with very fine, dry textures that merge seamlessly with the mousse and effervescence. The acidity is integral, but refreshing. The aromatic floral notes recede, leading to a clean, soft, light and dry finish. This is a crisply dry and elegant Blanc de Blanc sparkling with a yeast-influenced bouquet and floral flavours.

Grab your copy of this month's Nomad Magazine for a guide to everything Kilifi County ranging from things to do, places to stay, exciting humpback whale watching adventures and more. In this feature, Kilifi resident Adam Kiboi rounds up a few favourite spots to eat around the region:
1. Crab Shack, Watamu
Crab Shack on Mida Creek is proof that collective effort can result in great cuisine. Owned and run by the Dabaso Creek Conservation Group, access to the Crab Shack is via a 200-metre boardwalk through a mangrove forest. The boardwalk and restaurant support local community conservation efforts. The restaurant itself sits on stilts in the creek and offers stunning views of Kirepwe Island providing an excellent sundowner setting. Crab Shack can sit about 15 people comfortably so they do insist on making a reservation at least 24 hours ahead of time. The food is incredible and as their name suggests, your best option off their menu is, of course, their crab. The crab samosas, for instance, are delectable to the point of being sinful.
2. Bahati Gelateria, Watamu
Bahati Gelateria on the bustling Watamu Road is touted as the go to spot for the best artisanal gelato in East Africa. Opened in 2006, it is a small unassuming place surrounded by tailors and woodcarver shops but it is busy from morning to evening. You might find yourself in a queue due to their popularity but it's well worth the wait. They use fresh fruit to ensure rich natural flavours in their products, and favourites include passion, lemon, coconut and pistachio gelatos.
3. Distant Relatives Eco-Lodge and Backpackers, Kilifi
Their Friday pizza night is a weekly event that also serves as a Kilifi community get together complete with good music. They have classics like the margherita as well as truly unique options such as their pumpkin avocado pizza. Another great dining option from Distant Relatives is the moonrise sail with dinner on a secluded temporary beach. A jolly Captain Issa will pick you up from Fumbene Beach for a sail down the creek while treating you to a delectable Swahili dinner cooked on the dhow. If you'd like to book the moonrise dhow cruise, check your calendar for the next full moon and call ahead ; cast off is usually at 6pm.
4. The Food Movement, Kilifi Plantation
This eatery is run by Warren Wilson, a man truly passionate about his food. Formerly a chicken farm, the quirky and rustic restaurant is surrounded by fig and baobab trees and one wall has a striking mural by 4shore design whose studio is right next door. The innovative dishes on the menu are constantly changing, and each is a carefully curated blend of flavours that one might either not think to put together or an entirely new take on a classic. They use fresh locally grown vegetables, free-range organic beef and fowl and freshly caught seafood from Kilifi Creek to create their meals. With menu options such as "Free range poached eggs served with caramelised balsamic onion jam, deep fried sweet potato balls stuffed with mozzarella and basil pesto." The Food Movement has got to be on your bucket list of places to eat. They're open Monday to Saturday from 8:00 am to 4:00pm.
For the full list of places to eat as well as a comprehensive guide to everything Kilifi, Watamu, Malindi, Vipingo and more, be sure to grab the latest issue of Nomad Magazine or log on to www. nomadmagazine.co for some wanderlust.
