DALLAS, Oct. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Behringer Harvard announced today that it has begun construction of a multifamily community on two adjacent development sites totaling more than 4.6 acres in the Oak Lawn/Uptown submarket of Dallas, an infill area near the intersection of Maple and Oak Lawn Avenues.

"We believe that 4110 Fairmount will address currently unmet market demand for a superior apartment product at competitive rents in an area near the central business district," said Mr. Mark T. Alfieri, Chief Operating Officer of Behringer Harvard Multifamily REIT I, Inc. "With its luxurious finishes and proximity to major employment centers in Dallas, we expect the community to have strong appeal for young urban professionals."
Development plans include the razing of existing 1960s-vintage housing at 2607 Throckmorton Street to make way for a new luxury multifamily community with 276 apartment homes called 4110 Fairmount. Approximately two miles north of the central business district, the development site is near prominent employment centers in Downtown and Uptown Dallas, including well-established medical, market and design districts. Restaurants, nightlife and entertainment venues are less than half a mile from the site. The property also provides convenient access to the most traveled traffic arteries in Dallas, including Dallas North Tollway and Interstate 35 East.
The 4110 Fairmount community will comprise a four-story residential building wrapped around a five-level parking garage. The community also will include 23 three-story townhomes with attached two-car garages constructed on adjacent land on Fairmount Street.
Averaging 901 square feet, the apartments will be built to condominium-quality specifications and offer up to two bedrooms and two and a half baths. Units will feature eight-foot entry and patio doors, ceiling heights of more than nine feet, and full-size washers and dryers. Flooring will include stained concrete on the first floor and vinyl-wood planks in the living, dining and bath areas on floors two through four.
The homes' luxury kitchens will include granite countertops, under-mounted sinks, tumbled-stone backsplashes, 42-inch hardwood cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, kitchen islands and stainless steel appliances. Baths will feature framed mirrors, oversized Roman bathtubs with tile surrounds and separate showers in selected units.
Common-area amenities will include a cyber cafe, a business center, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a virtual game room, two luxury swimming pools, landscaped walking paths, and a dog-amenity station.
Trammell Crow Residential, a Dallas-based firm that has partnered with Behringer Harvard on this acquisition, will serve as developer of 4110 Fairmount. An affiliate of Trammell Crow Residential will serve as the general contractor.
The portfolio of Behringer Harvard Multifamily REIT I, Inc. includes investments in 48 multifamily communities in 14 states comprising 13,013 apartment homes.

Joe DiMaggio Jr.; Son of Yankees Baseball Legend Led Troubled Life
Joe DiMaggio Jr., the only child of baseball great Joe DiMaggio, died late Friday at a hospital in the Northern California town of Antioch, apparently of natural causes, hospital officials said Saturday. He was 57.
He was the only son of DiMaggio and Dorothy Arnold, an actress whom the sports legend married in 1939. The athlete had no children with his second wife, Marilyn Monroe.
The younger DiMaggio was estranged from his father and had seen him infrequently over the last few years. However, he was one of six pallbearers at the March funeral of the "Yankee Clipper" in San Francisco.
DiMaggio Jr. was not breathing and had no heartbeat when he was taken by ambulance to Sutter Delta Medical Center late Friday, a hospital spokesman said. Attempts at resuscitation were unsuccessful.
The younger DiMaggio, who was living in nearby Pittsburg, had a history of drug and alcohol abuse and got into several minor scrapes with police. He also experienced periods of homelessness.
Joseph Paul DiMaggio Jr. was born Oct. 23, 1941, in San Francisco. After his parents divorced three years later, he spent much of his early life in summer camps and military schools, including the now-defunct Black Foxe Military Institute, a few blocks west of Paramount Studios in Hollywood. It was known as the school of choice for the sons of Hollywood celebrities.
As he entered his teen years, the youth split his time between his mother, who was pursuing her acting career in Hollywood, and his father, who had begun seeing Monroe. Young Joe and Monroe were reportedly close, and the boy often accompanied the couple on dates.
He spent his high school years at a prep school in New Jersey, where he shunned baseball to play football. He was the kicker on the team and by all accounts a bright student. However, his father, who was living in New York, had little time for his son and never saw his games.
Young DiMaggio enrolled at Yale University as a freshman in 1960 but quit after the first year because he had grown to hate the Eastern winters. He returned to Los Angeles and worked at odd jobs before deciding to join the Marine Corps.
Despite his father's divorce from Monroe, young Joe remained close to the actress. He phoned her about 8:30 on the night of Aug. 4, 1962, to tell her that he had broken off his engagement to the daughter of a wealthy San Diego contractor. The next day, DiMaggio Jr. learned that Monroe had died from an apparent overdose of drugs and alcohol.
He attended the funeral, which was closed to much of Hollywood, wearing his dress Marine uniform.
After Monroe's death, he finished his enlistment in the Marines and married a 17-year-old girl from San Diego, but the union lasted just a year.
Returning to civilian life, DiMaggio Jr. took a series of odd jobs and eventually moved to the East Coast, where he worked for his uncle Dom DiMaggio, the onetime great outfielder for the Boston Red Sox, who owned a polyurethane foam company near Boston.
That is where the younger Joe met and wed Sue Adams, who had two daughters from a previous marriage. He eventually moved back to California to run a polyurethane foam business for his father and two business partners.
Joe DiMaggio Sr. grew attached to his son's stepdaughters and doted over them as a grandfather.
Working for his father proved problematic for the younger DiMaggio, who felt that no matter how hard he worked he could never do anything right in his father's eyes. That led to bouts of drinking and fights with his wife that often left her battered and bloody. Drugs came next, particularly speed. The business was lost and the couple divorced in 1974.
Two years later, DiMaggio Jr. was seriously injured in an automobile accident, and a piece of his brain had to be removed because of a blood clot. That surgery seemed to make him even quicker to anger and to have less control of his actions.
His father tried to help him recover, buying him a $75,000 Peterbilt truck cab, but he wrecked the truck and by the late 1980s was working odd jobs and living in a trailer near Martinez, Calif., his father's hometown.
In his only known on-the-record interview in recent years, DiMaggio Jr. spoke with the tabloid television magazine show "Inside Edition." In the interview, broadcast Feb. 11, he explained why he had not gone to the side of his ailing father when he was fighting cancer in Florida.
"You know, I never got the words 'Come now,' or I would've been there in a flash," he said. "I love him and just all of the things that are felt, but never said, between people. When he wants me there, I'll be there."
Although DiMaggio Jr. did not subsequently see his father before he died, his two stepchildren were at the baseball great's bedside, along with Dom DiMaggio and two other friends.
DiMaggio Sr. left his only child a $20,000 annual trust fund in his will, signed in 1996, the year the two reportedly last saw each other. He also bequeathed his son 45% from the sale of his firm, Yankee Clipper Enterprises.
He left the two girls he considered his grandchildren considerably more.
Another Joseph DiMaggio, the son of the baseball legend's late brother Mike, was left $100,000. That Joe DiMaggio made something of a name for himself as a chef, with restaurants in Florida and Toronto.
On Saturday, Marie Amato Goodman, a cousin whose son was a close friend of Joe DiMaggio Jr., said he was simply unable to cope with his father's fame.
"He had a brilliant mind," Goodman said. "He lived in the shadow of his father and could not rise above that."

California is leading the way when it comes to changes in the financial service industry. Not only is it the largest state, but it's also a hub for many personal loan lenders, banks and online installment loan companies. When it comes to short term lenders in California, payday loan companies are still on top. Even with that, there are dozens of online title loan companies with headquarters in California. Some of these lenders choose to focus only on in state applicants and some will work in other states. As we've documented throughout our site there are also many lenders that only take applications online. Some of these lenders have physical offices all over the state, but they only take online applications. The reasons for this are simple. It's often expensive to manage and operate retail locations. Rents are high and there is a good amount of expenses that come with managing a physical office. It often makes more sense to handle online title loan applications online versus meeting someone in person. Let's discuss why these changes are happening and where things may end up over the next few years.
California is home to many of the largest online title loan companies
Many borrowers aren't familiar with how the application process works. In fact, some applicants that we speak with have no idea they can keep driving their vehicle after handing over the pink slip. They believe that once they hand over the car title, they lose all rights to keeping their vehicle. We all know this is not correct. Some companies will try to install ignition locks or other devices onto the vehicle that disable the engine if there's no payment. We know of a few auto title lenders in Los Angeles that do this. Thing is, they don't receive much business, as most customers would rather apply with a company who lets them drive their vehicle outright. Other borrowers, think it will take days or even weeks to get approved. Many people apply for bank loans or mortgage notes that can take forever to process. With car title loans, you can often submit your application online and have cash in hand by that same day. Some don't understand that it's not important to have average or even good credit. The most important factors are having equity in your vehicle and the ability to pay off your loan. Some online companies will also want to make sure you are employed. They will make sure you have direct deposit and an active checking account. These details are much the same as payday loans and cash advances, but other than that the process is different. The misconceptions will often lead California applicants to apply for online title loans in person. Don't think you have nowhere to go when it comes to finding a vehicle equity lender in California. Our directory of online title loan lenders features companies in California and all throughout the country!
More applicants apply for auto title loans on their mobile devices
Data shows that more and more borrowers are applying for online title loans on mobile devices. These devices can include cell phones, smartphones and tablets. Over the past few years the amount of mobile applications has passed the number of desktop submits. We have no way of knowing how many people are still seeking car title loans in person but there are still a few shops that are open and seem busy. What's likely happening here is that more consumers are able to get fast cash. There are many blogs and sites(like this one) which detail the benefits and drawbacks of high interest loans. Remember, short lending companies don't have to be the only option when someone needs fast money. Check with your local bank's rates. Ask your employer for a payday advance or some other type of help. Always check to see if there are any benefits available from your state. California has many programs for people in need of financial help. Check out the many programs available to California residents. Before the internet came along people didn't know what to expect. Borrowers had to rely on the word of friends or what they've heard secondhand. We have no way of knowing if this trend will continue. California is a hotbed for innovation and this will likely continue with the increase in Fintech Companies. Over the past 2-3 years many of the Silicon Valley startups have brought technology focused loans to the forefront. These firms have an online focus and are shaking up the industry. If the trend continues we can only expect more changes to come to lenders that fund online title loans. We will be sure to update this article every few months. We expect to hear more about the financial and regulatory changes to the short term financing industry.

Jewel and Ty Murray: Married!by Free Britney at .
Jewel is married.
The singer and her longtime boyfriend, rodeo champ Ty Murray, eloped to the Bahamas and exchanged vows in a private ceremony Thursday night.
"She wore a traditional wedding gown, while Ty Murray wore his favorite blue jeans, white shirt and cowboy hat," says Jewel's rep.
"The couple is very happy and look forward to their honeymoon."
The pair, who never announced an engagement, have been together for 10 years and share a 2,200-acre ranch in Stephenville, Texas.
Appropriately, Murray, 38, host of Ty Murray's Celebrity Bull-Riding Challenge on CMT, stars in the video for his wife's new single, "I Do."
At a charity event in Nashville days before the wedding, Jewel, 34, said of marriage, "It's something that needs to be taken seriously."
Just last year, she was in no rush to wed.
"We don't know if there's a point – we've lapped our friends who've gotten married and are already divorced," Jewel said.
"We probably would if we had kids – we're just not sure we want them yet. But we've had something really special already."

"Privilege" is a word that's been tossed around a lot lately. But if you're wondering about its origin, look no further than Peggy McIntosh, a women's studies scholar at Wellesley College. Before Princeton freshman Tal Fortgang "Checked His Privilege" at the suggestion of his university professors, McIntosh wrote a paper in 1988 entitled "White Privilege and Male Privilege: A Personal Account of Coming to See Correspondences Through Work in Women's Studies." That insightful piece contained forty-six examples of white privilege. Where are all the environmentalists protesting all the wasted paper on that one? For more of a waste of time and effort, The New Yorker interviewed McIntosh to analyze the term 'privilege' once more:
How did people respond? Well, at first, the most common responses were from white people. Their most common response was "I never thought about this before." After a couple of years, that was accompanied by "You changed my life." From people of color, from the beginning, it was "You showed me I'm not crazy." And if they said more than that it was along the lines of "I knew there was something out there working against me."
BuzzFeed, not one to be left out of the latest fads, recently created a "How Privileged Are You?" quiz. I took it – and it turns out I'm 'Quite Privileged.' Here's how the quiz defined me:
My 'privileged' score perhaps would have been even higher had I checked, "I have never been the only person of my race in a room" or "I am a man."
This is nonsense. White men, the so called 'privileged' ones, work just as hard as anyone else. Try telling an Ivy League student who worked his butt off for eight years to get accepted, and then another four years of studying that he simply received his diploma because of his social status. At least students like Tal Fortgang are speaking up. I hope more will do the same.
McIntosh's unfortunate 15 minutes of privileged fame aren't quite over yet. She is using all this new talk about privilege to give speeches about privilege to groups at the American Society for Engineering Education, the House of Bishops of the Episcopal Church, the Ontario Nurses Association, and NASA's Goddard Space Center.
If I had to sit through one of her talks, I wouldn't be checking my privilege - I'd be checking my watch.

Student ministries continue to play a vital role. Movements such as InterVarsity Christian Fellowship (IFES), Navigators, CCCI, Campus Outreach, Chi Alpha, Campus America, Campus Church Net, SVM2 and others combine to generate effective outreach, discipleship and prayer on campuses. The large Urbana conferences of InterVarsity, The Traveling Team and other ministries challenge many students with the needs of a lost world. The ministries of Navigators and CCCI have diversified into a wide range of activities in the USA and around the world. The Passion conferences profoundly impact the lives of many thousands of students every year. It is in their college years that the largest percentage of Christians fall away; yet, student movements have been at the heart of almost every revival and missions movement in Americas history.
The 38-million-strong African-American community suffered immensely due to its origins in slavery and to subsequent racial discrimination. The civil rights movement and the election of the first black president have achieved great change in attitudes and awareness, but for many the cycle of unemployment, poverty, family instability and crime is unbroken. Pray for:
a) Young people at risk. Over half of inner-city black males fail to complete secondary school. Many are in prison or in gangs. Poverty, drugs and violence are rampant. Murder is the major cause of death for inner-city, African-American males ages 15 to 34. Pray for an expression of Christian faith that enables these men to leave their shackles and find meaning, belonging and fulfilment in Christ.
b) African-American Muslims, whose numbers have rapidly grown up to two million most of these from a Christian background. Sunnis account for the largest proportion; some small but vocal minorities belong to Black nationalist groups and to the Nation of Islam organization. Most were drawn to Islam as a result of failings in the Church. Pray for effective and loving outreach to them.
c) Black churches. More than any other race in the USA, African-Americans are likely to be Christian. Many of the largest and most vigorous evangelical churches are Black, but they are often isolated from mainstream evangelical Christianity and from meaningful involvement in missions. Pray for a unity of believers that transcends ethnicity. Pray for a new move of the Spirit of God in these churches.
d) Community impact. African-American churches have always had a strong redemptive influence in their communities. This is increasing as congregations now join to effect deliberate and strategic transformation in the neediest areas.

Cara Mía Theatre's 18-19 season signals more expansion for the Dallas organization as it ramps up various local, national and international collaborations and its second national tour of a politically-charged production.
"We are speaking from the heart of our contemporary Latino experiences with our 18-19 season,'" says Executive Artistic Director David Lozano. "From a national touring production that touches on the burning issues surrounding immigration to the return of a highly theatrical play for families featuring Mexican folk masks, Cara Mía Theatre's 18-19 season responds to the current political maelstrom with art, culture and stories that we insist must flow freely across our borders. These plays revel in the beauty of Latinos and people of color while relentlessly speaking to the challenges of our times. With this new season, Cara Mía Theatre is putting its best foot forward as a cultural institution."

Cara Mía Theatre Co. is a non-profit theatre company that presents live accessible theatre by producing critically acclaimed published plays and creating new and experimental works while developing innovative and educational youth arts programming reflective of the Latino experience in the U.S.
Co-Founder Eliberto Gonzalez founded Cara Mía Theatre Co. in 1996 because he believed that Latino literature and its writers ought to be more accessible to the general public. With Adelina Anthony, Gonzalez started the company as a vehicle to bring the Chicano / US Latino experience to Dallas stages. Since, the cultural breadth of CMTC's plays has expanded, and the company's artistic approach has simultaneously evolved, especially since the arrival of current Executive Artistic Director David Lozano in 2002. To expand the company's reach to non-theatre going Latinos, Lozano chose to focus on creating new bilingual plays that were both topical and theatrically unique. Trained in physical theatre, Lozano formed a resident artistic ensemble that devised new works in the form of clown and mask performance, poetic movement and topical, issue-driven plays that speak to the experiences of the local Latinos. Today, CMTC boasts of a 15-member resident artistic ensemble that creates new works and also produces classic and new plays by the most acclaimed Latino playwrights in the nation.
Cara Mía Theatre Co. is sponsored by the Latino Center for Leadership Development, Mercado 369, Law Offices of Domingo Garcia, City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs, Dallas Tourism Public Improvement District, TACA, The Shubert Foundation, Communities Foundation of Texas, Texas Instruments, Texas Commission on the Arts, Time Warner Foundation, Ignite/Arts Dallas, The Dallas Foundation, The Embrey Family Foundation, The Hillcrest Foundation, The Mid-America Arts Alliance, Melinda D. and Jim A. Johnson, The National Endowment for the Arts, Pepsico Foundation, Central Market, Sammons Center for the Arts, The AT&T Performing Arts Center, University of North Texas.

Participants were encouraged to tinker, make, explore a variety of materials, challenge themselves, and let their creativity soar. They left the Play Space with concrete ideas to enhance play in the classroom and home, meet learning standards, and understand how their own play experience influences their teaching practice.

Keynote highlights from SCCE Compliance & Ethics Institute Day 2
The Red Flag Group wrapped up an outstanding second day at the 2016 SCCE Compliance & Ethics Institute. The conference continued to provide excellent content for the more than 1,700 compliance professionals in attendance. Day three will be a half-day session followed by the SCCE certification exam, which will be taken by several employees from The Red Flag Group.
The second day began with three keynote speeches. Justice Department (DOJ) representative Bill Baer opened the morning's keynotes with remarks on what the DOJ considers 'meaningful cooperation' should constitute if it is to lead to a significant reduction in a financial penalty. Baer listed several specific factors that the DOJ considers when determining a company's level of cooperation. For every chief compliance officer or even general counsel in the audience, it was solid information to put into practice if one is ever faced with a regulatory violation.
The next keynote was on the sobering topic of human trafficking and modern slavery, with Bill Shepherd and Gwen Hassan. A former DOJ prosecutor, Shepherd walked the audience through legal requirements and potential penalties. Hassan meanwhile helped the audience understand how corporations can best respond by establishing appropriate compliance programmes and mechanisms.
The final keynote on day two was by Kristy Grant-Hart, author of 'How to be a wildly effective compliance officer'. She was able to translate her fire and passion for the compliance profession into concrete steps that a compliance practitioner can take to impact compliance in his or her organisation. It was an inspiring final keynote to this great conference.

Aromas opened with a strong scent of dry new oak like shavings on a carpenter's workbench. Powerful puffs of fine ladies perfume wafted across the table and from there the nose grew and grew, expanding into lavender, violets and the soft fruits of lychee and apricots. Water enticed a layer of rose from the glass but undeniably it presented fruitier incarnations. Hedgerow berries and raspberry jam brought a sticky sweetness whilst plums turned our path towards sloe gin and then creamy vanilla. The palate warmed the tongue with fresh ginger but quickly became sweet as butterscotch, toffee and fudge created buttery textures. A lovely dimension of pineapple chunks and wild strawberries followed, all wrapped in a hessian sack on the finish.

Not Guilty, Making Peace with Your Past
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive you your
sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness.
There is a wide spread of the DISEASE called Sin. It has locked and chained the greatest of Men and Women throughout the ages. It captivated Kings, Queens, rulers, kingdoms, and nations. It desensitized the emotions of the most loving and caring people of our time. Sin has made
women do thing that they thought and said they would never do. It has
also lead men into some of the deepest and darkest of place. Sin has
changed and baffled the minds of the wisest of people. Wickedness is not
partial or prejudice or weak or maimed.
Sin is courageous and strong
willed. It has broken hearts, destroy happy homes and the fellowship of
family and friends. What is so alluring and magnetic about Sin? Look
back at your own life and the answers are in your attempts to be
independent of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. That is something to
think about, I have literally failed miserably without the hand of God
over my life. Why is it that I cannot handle my Sin on my own? It's
simply too advanced for you. It's been challenged and tried by the
greatest of circumstances, situations and conditions. Sin has reached a
numerous of Nationalities, Races and Creeds.
The next time you take selfies look close in the picture and you will see it posing. I have
came to the agreement with God the Father and the Victor of Sin, Jesus
my Savior that I will no longer try to handle my own. Jesus defeated
Satan and Sin on the Cross of Calvary and I am no longer held hostage or
captive in my mind. His blood blotted out the laws that were against us,
we are FREE. But if we sin take your sin problem to the Advocate with
the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous. He is the propitiation for our
Sins, not ours only but the sins of the whole world.
Have you met Minister R. L. Taylor?

The Mets tried to honor Native Americans and instead ended up offending them. The Mets tried to save face by downplaying an event, and instead look worse when the details of the situation comes to light.
Yup, it's just another day in Flushing.
The New York Times reported on Wednesday the details surrounding the scheduling and a cancellation of a Native American Heritage Day at Citi Field. The Mets had contacted the American Indian Community House about participating in the event, which was to include traditional dancing and singing outside the stadium. The group was enthusiastic about the event, scheduled by July 25.
"Not a lot of people invite us to step on a great stage like that. We were really looking forward to it," the A.I.C.H.'s education and development officer Rick Chavolla told the paper.
But the Mets backed away from most of that day's celebration, which also included t-shirts and PSA announcements on the video board, over concerns it might offend their opponent – the Braves. On July 1, the Mets let A.I.C.H. know that the dancing and singing would not be allowed and the public service announcements would not be played. The non-profit group would be allowed to do some fundraising.
"Being a non-profit in the city, we're not in the business of making enemies," Kevin Tarrant, the deputy director of the A.I.C.H., said. "This whole thing wasn't even our idea. But it just feels like we're being marginalized again within our own community."
So, the group pulled out of the event on Monday and removed it from its online calendar.
"We're not trying to be overly sensitive," Chavolla said, "but it seems like we fall into this type of thing a lot. We're led to get enthusiastic about something, and then it's like, 'Oh, never mind.' It's disappointing, but it sort of amplifies a pattern of what we've been dealing with for hundreds of years."

"Three whole months?," I asked the beautician while discussing pre-bridal packages. "Ain't nobody got time for that," I snorted and shook my head in revolt. I had promised myself that I wouldn't become a Bridezilla, and would be extremely cool throughout my pre-wedding preps. But of course, the lengths to which would-be brides go to in order to prep their skin scared me. Nope, not me, I thought to myself. Shortcuts are my thing, and even something as huge as a wedding couldn't change that. Are you one of those lazy brides who wouldn't care much for the bazillion trips to the salon, time-consuming facials, and draining detoxes? I, for one, was, and thanks to a strenuous job, couldn't make time for the skin care, no matter how much I wanted to. But, hey, the good news is, you don't really need to. Those exotic pre-bridal packages are confusing, overwhelming, and plain expensive. What you need are quick fixes that deliver fast results to those persistent dark circles, and replenish your skin. So, here go with some no-nonsense, tried and tested tips for skin care that command nothing but regularity. Just a few minutes on a daily basis, and your skin will be wedding-ready in no time.
If you're going to skip pre-bridal salon treatments, it's essential that you start taking supplements at least two months before the big day. While you can pop multi-vitamin pills, I would like to emphasize of just Vitamin C and Zinc, courtesy first-hand experience. I've found Vitamin C to help me with my sun damage and boost healthy collagen, leading to firmer skin. Zinc, on the other hand, works like a charm in reducing blemishes and acne scars. These supplements are available at any medical store; give them a go and witness changes from the very first week.
Why do we women underestimate the power of sunscreen? I often forget to dab it, only to end up exfoliating the life out of my skin in order to get rid of the Sun-tan. If you're sailing on the same boat as I am, here's a solution. Before you step into the shower, mix curd with lime juice, and apply it onto your face, hands, and feet. Sit still for 15 minutes and wash it off. Do it for 3 weeks and you'll see your original complexion returning. Gram flour is another excellent alternative to curd.

Before you run from the mere mention of exercise, just hear me out. Exercise may help you shape your body later, but it first impacts your skin! Any form of workout such as a 20-minute run, 30 minutes on the treadmill, or even yoga, boosts your metabolism, enhances your blood flow, and adds a healthy glow to your skin. And, hey! Visible abs and toned arms are an added bonus! Start your exercise regime three months prior to the wedding, and complement your workouts with a healthy diet. Don't go on crash diets; just choose healthier options. Image Credit
This, is one of the best decisions I ever made in my life! I have combination skin, but it wasn't devoid of untimely breakouts. Products containing salicylic acid helped me a great deal combating the issue of acne and pimples. It's fantastic for deep cleansing, and helps in skin rejuvenation, thanks to its ability to reduce oil in your skin. I simply swapped my face wash with a salicylic acid gel (concentration: ~0.5%), and soon witnessed my blackheads dissolve and breakouts minimize. However, don't leave it on for too long as it has a tendency to dry out the skin.
My grandmother's favorite, I hold this low-key skin care tip extremely close to my heart. After you remove makeup at night and wash your face before going to bed, apply a concoction of glycerin and lime juice with the help of a cotton swab. I have found this alternative to be better than any night cream in the world as it helps reduce age spots, dark circles, and softens the skin. Glycerin truly is the all-rounder of home-based skin care products, right alongside lime juice. Applying a mix of both regularly not only keeps your skin hydrated, but also lightens your skin tone.
Image Credit Now, this isn't to say that salon treatments are totally worthless, and I'm definitely not against them. Truth be told, they make you feel like a princess. And who doesn't love pampering every now and then? It's for those women who do not make a big deal out of pre-bridal skin care that the above-mentioned tips can come handy. They're no-fuss, require minimum effort, and produce more or less, similar results. The key, in the end, is regularity. So, we up for this little commitment or not?

Children & Families
Teenage Mothers: Girls who attend schools where violence, drug use, and crime are problems are more likely than other teenagers to become mothers before they finish high school, concludes a recent study by Child Trends, a nonprofit, Washington-based research center.
The study, which looked at female students over a four-year period, beginning in 8th grade, found that those in safer schools were less likely to become mothers.
In addition, the report says, girls who said they expected to be successful in school and to complete college were less likely than those without such plans to become teenage mothers.
"Nonmarital School-Age Motherhood: Family, Individual, and School Characteristics" also found that girls who were held back at least one grade before reaching 8th grade were twice as likely as other girls to become mothers by the time they were high school seniors.
Transient students--those who changed schools four or more times between the 1st and 8th grades--also were more likely to give birth by the 12th grade.
Participation in school clubs and religious groups was found to correlate with a lower risk of becoming a teenage mother.
Welfare to Work: Americans support a wide range of programs--including those that provide education and training, subsidize child care, and provide transportation--to help people on public assistance move from welfare to work, according to a recent poll.
A majority of the 3,400 people responding to the survey sponsored by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation also said that the working poor should be eligible to receive the same benefits as those who are moving off welfare.
The survey was part of the Battle Creek, Mich., foundation's Devolution Initiative, an effort to gather and share information about welfare changes.
Eighty-six percent of those surveyed said that subsidized child care should be available to all low-income families so that parents can work.
Those surveyed also ranked health insurance as the most important support needed by people trying to leave welfare. Seventy-eight percent said the government should pay for health coverage for children whose parents cannot afford it.
The results, says William C. Richardson, the foundation's president and chief executive officer, show that "Americans are not willing to judge the success of reform efforts merely on the basis of a reduction in the numbers of those receiving public-income support."

Origins, Benefits, and Values of Four Cultural Projects in Wales
This is a talk about the ideas that lay behind the creation of four major cultural projects which have helped to de ne a contemporary vision of Wales and its heritage. The four projects in which I was involved are the establishment of the National Botanic Garden of Wales, the restoration of Aberglasney, the creation of Artes Mundi, and the restoration of Llanelly House.
The National Botanic Garden
The origins of the Botanic Garden were wrapped up with the origin of the Welsh Historic Gardens Trust. My late aunt was a keen naturalist and went on a walk organized by the West Wales Naturalists to the site of Middleton Hall where the county council owned woodlands which were being opened up for walkers under a job creation scheme. She came back and reported to me that there were some structures lurking in the undergrowth which she thought might interest me. Shortly afterwards I took her advice and went to explore. What I saw astonished me. Within the mess and dereliction were the remains of what, in my judgment, looked like a highly sophisticated late eighteenth-century intervention of neo- classical geometry which made outstandingly beautiful use of the existing landform. In due course the whole astonishing scale of the park would emerge as one became aware of the network of drained and silted-up lakes, all filled with alder carr.

Capcom has defended the popular copy protection tool SecuROM, which is generally hated among the PC gaming community, saying it is "much maligned for things that it is not necessarily responsible for".
SecuROM, which is used by publishers and developers as an anti-piracy measure in many PC games, has drawn complaints from gamers because it imposes activation limits, re-authentication and can be difficult to remove.
However, speaking to VideoGamer.com, Christian Svensson, Capcom vice president, business development and strategic planning, defended SecuROM and said the technology itself shouldn't be blamed for how it's used by publishers and developers.
"We have an agreement with SecuROM," he said. "They have been an excellent partner and I think they are, quite frankly, much maligned for things that they are not necessarily responsible for. SecuROM is as onerous or innocuous as a developer or publisher chooses to make the policies. You can decide, for example, what is the appropriate number of concurrent installs. I say concurrent as a very important distinction. You can enable replication of licenses that it becomes a concurrency issue. So instead of having five installs for life, as long as you provide a revoke tool or some other mechanism to revoke, or you have the revoke tool happen transparently via uninstall, you can install or unistall a million times, but you can only have it on three, five, seven, ten, whatever the policy you chose to hold, machines at any one time."
"The technology itself is not the bad guy. It's how it's implemented and, further more, how it's communicated or not communicated to fans. I think so many people have been beaten up so badly with let's say more restrictive forms of DRM that they always assume the worst. That's not always the case."
Svensson said that much of the hatred towards the tool is the result of "a lot of miscommunication that has happened through some of the first implementations of the network authenticated versions of SecuROM", and explained that Capcom's policy is to allow gamers to "have access to the content you've got to the same extent as if you bought it on the disc and had no DRM".
"We haven't historically implemented phone home mechanisms," he said. "Basically once you've authenticated with us upon installation you're done."
When asked if Capcom will continue to use SecuROM with its future PC titles, Svensson replied: "That's our intention. We have a good, long-standing relationship with SecuROM. I don't anticipate that going away any time soon. And to be fair we think it's actually had really good results for us."
Capcom has PC versions of Street Fighter IV, Dark Void and Bionic Commando in the works for 2009.
What's your opinion of SecuROM? Is it simply misunderstood? Let us know in the comments section below.

The Blackwell Epiphany Brings the Adventure Game Series to a Close This April
Wadjet Eye Games' Blackwell adventure game series will conclude this April with The Blackwell Epiphany.
Blackwell is about a woman named Rosangela Blackwell who has the ability to communicate with the spirits of the dead. Together with a jazz-era ghost name Joey Malone, she helps New York City's lost souls not only accept that they have died but also to find peace so that they can move on to the next world.
In The Blackwell Epiphany, a mysterious force is destroying the lost souls. Rosa and Joey must find a way to stop this from happening. Both will face a challenge they may not be prepared for.
The game will be the longest game in the series. It will let you play as Rosa and Joey who each have unique abilities. Epiphany will be fully voice acted and will have an original musical score.
"I always knew how Rosa and Joey's story would end, but figuring out how to get there was a challenge," says series creator Dave Gilbert. "Every lesson I learned over the last eight years has been put to good use. This is the last Blackwell game and we've given it our all — it's longer, more detailed, darker, and more atmospheric than any of the games that came before it. I can't think of a more worthy note to end on."
You can catch up and play the other four games in the Blackwell series on PC by buying them from the Steam Store which is currently having a 25% sale. The series is also available to buy from Gog or from the developer's own website. The entire series will be coming out for the iPhone and iPad this Spring starting with The Blackwell Legacy.

Ben-Arion About Ashtar Command Crew
Is Ashtar Command a religion? No it isn't, but we had to choose some kind of descriptive label around which we could gather. Ashtar Command is a well-known energy, but our connection has more to do with LOVE than attaching ourselves to labels of any kind. LOVE is beyond labels.
We hope you will regard Ashtar Command Crew as a library of information on all sorts of topics. When many come together as ONE in the same likeness of shared intent, then you will see things can change drastically and quickly. Love and Joy are natural states of Being, we must embrace in this simplicity; we are all in this together.
I like to compare Ashtar Command to an anchor, grounded to the earth and human nature, transforming things from within in a very beautiful way.
From a member:
"What i like about AC is that Ben-Arion has created a garden where flowers can grow, thrive, or fail on their own. Where spirits are welcome to dance, or feud, without interruption- even if they disagree with the gardener, each is allowed to express themselves."
I created Ashtar Command Crew because we are becoming more conscious of the Love within us. It's really very simple: awaken to love and you cannot go back to limitation again.
You came here to anchor Love, by being an Example. Be the change.
I choosed the short "slogan" - "AWAKENING MOVEMENT" because we are in constant movement and within this lifetime we will awaken to Love and our True Cosmic Self.

Planets In Space Engineers Sound/Look Pretty Awesome
I haven't played anything like enough of sandbox building/exploration game Space Engineers [official site], but the recent addition of explorable planets looks like a solid gold reason to. They arrived back in November, but this new video makes a strong case for why they demand more attention.
For starters, these things are big enough that it'll take something like an hour to drive across them – which means you're not exactly going to run out of space to build stuff. But getting to that point involves landing on the planet first, and that's a process which involves building three different types of vehicle. I like the idea of a planetary landing being a big deal, not the magic button-push of something like Mass Effect. There's also some lovely real world-inspired science, such as space stations crashing through the atmosphere because they spent too long on the dark side of a planet and so ran out of solar power, as happened to poor old Philae.
Here's one of the devs, who appears to work in giant glass future-palace, talking about how it all works, how the game's planets get made and showing off some lovely, LEGO-does-3D-Proteus footage too.

|You Are a Cheapskate
You're so cheap, you probably turn your underwear inside out to wear it the next day ;-)
Seriously though, while times may be tough - you need to work on being a little more generous.
No one likes a cheap person. So give what you can, and scale back on the things you truly can't afford.

Hi Eric!
I hope that you didn't take my comments wrong; I have the highest respect for anyone that write good books, and I understand that it must be a tremendous work to complete a book of this type.
But as this is my all time favorite plane, any wait can feel too long.

We run a range of programmes aimed at preserving biodiversity and conserving wildlife and plant habitats and ecosystems. Where some impact is inevitable, we strive to mitigate and offset this.
Our approach to biodiversity management is set out in our Standard for Biodiversity Conservation. From the early stages of a project, we evaluate the surrounding wildlife in order to develop appropriate conservation plans. As part of biodiversity' monitoring and assessment in Bodaibo region we are cooperating with Vitim state nature reserve.
Our conservation initiatives include:
- cooperating on relevant issues with regional institutions and government agencies on the biodiversity evaluation
- compensation programs for damage to aquatic wildlife (introducing valuable fish species into the local rivers)
- planting young trees
Polyus responds to the results of the environmental impact assessment to ensure preservation of territories where it is critical to maintain biodiversity (animal and bird migration paths, wintering and breeding grounds, etc.).
We do not develop mineral deposits in world heritage sites and nature reserves protected by the regional or federal government. We also actively prohibits poaching by our employees and contractors in nature reserves and in the areas adjacent to the Company's operations.
In 2018, Polyus invested almost $284,000 into research efforts and biodiversity conservation, including some compensatory measures.
In addition, Polyus has established a longtime partnership with researchers in the Magadan Region who monitor biodiversity in the Natalka Mine area.
In 2018, we launched pilot projects to study and assess biodiversity in the other two regions of our operations — Irkutsk and Krasnoyarsk Regions. Polyus cooperates with local research organizations to monitor and assess biodiversity, such as:
- Forest Institute, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Science in the Krasnoyarsk Region, which has studied biodiversity around Olimpiada and compiled a list of local flora and fauna species (small mammals and insects);
- All-Russia Research Institute-1 in the Magadan Region;
- Institute of Applied Ecology of the North, Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), which has studied the hydrobiocoenosis in the catchment area of the Bolshoi Kuranakh river where Polyus Aldan operates.
Comprehensive biodiversity conservation programmes will be developed based on the updated guidelines and research findings.
A report is issued once every research project has been completed. For example, you can find the information on the biodiversity study programme at Verninskoye in our Blog.

Enhancing Pollinator Health & Habitat
"We can all avoid pesticides. We can all put nectar-rich native plants into the landscape. We can all advocate for green space. We can all teach kids about bees. It's not that we all need to become beekeepers. No, we all need to become bee protectors, bee champions."
–Alison Gillespie, author of Hives in the City. Keeping Honey Bees Alive in an Urban World
In the fall of 2014, the Carrboro Board of Aldermen adopted a resolution to apply to Bee City USA, and Carrboro became the 3rd Bee City USA community in the nation. The Environmental Advisory Board (EAB) took on the role of serving as a citizen's advisory group, a requirement for participation in Bee City USA. In 2015 and 2016, a number of activities were pursued to kick off the Town's participation, as described in the 2015 and 2016 reports. The rest of this report focuses on 2017 activities.
The EAB (Environmental Advisory Board) continued to help maintain the pollinator garden at the corner of West Main Street and Hillsborough Road.
See more about Enhancing Pollinator Habitat below.
Policies & Practices
The "Bee City" page was updated on the Town's website to help promote pollinator protection and habitat restoration. Mayor Lydia Lavelle provided a proclamation to coincide with National Pollinator Week.
The Public Works Department continued to promote and pursue healthy pollinator habitats in its own operations. Public Works staff pursued installation of water wise, native, pollinator producing perennials as primary vegetation throughout Town properties, and also participated in the first training program offered to Bee City USA affiliates in April.
Randy Dodd, the Town's Environmental Planner, participated in several conference calls with the growing number of Bee City representatives across the country to share successes and challenges.
The Town moved forward with updates to the Land Use Ordinance provisions related to landscaping, adding a table of recommended plants that includes and notes pollinator tree and shrub species to put these species more clearly on the radar for new plantings as part of development projects.
Education & Outreach
The EAB (Environmental Advisory Board) showed up at Carrboro Day to promote participation in Bee City USA.
The Carrboro ArtsCenter sponsored a pollinator themed exhibit, "Saving Our Pollinators", featuring: "Beehold the Humble Pollinator" from the North Carolina Botanical Garden along with art of Matthew Leavitt, Miriam Sagasti, and Torey Wahlstrom and other curated art from the community.
For the third straight year, a decision was made to host a Father's Day movie at the Carrboro Century Center, with "Hometown Habitat-Stories of Bringing Nature Home" being chosen.

Welcome to the Zoobilee Zoo guide at TV Tome. Over the years 1986 to 2001, Zoobilee Zoo aired on commercial syndication, American Public Television, TLC and Hallmark Channel. That last network was a fitting honor, since the series was based on characters created by Hallmark Cards.
Indeed, Hallmark provided funds for the presentation of Zoobilee Zoo on American Public Television from 1987 to 1999. -----If anyone would like to help out with the episode descriptions for Zoobilee Zoo, please contact me at [email protected] [center]

I know, I know, this is like a bajillion years late, but it's been a busy few weeks at the day job, what with restructuring and all that unsexy stuff that goes on with corporations. But it's going up now!
I have to admit that I've long seen Jenny Han's Summer series on bookstore shelves but never really had the urge to pick up a copy, mostly because I was very deeply into Margaret Stohl and Kami Garcia's Beautiful Creatures series. I picked them up pretty quickly when I heard she was coming over, and even picked up her latest, To All The Boys I've Loved Before.
And while I like the Summer books well enough, I absolutely loved To All The Boys I've Loved Before. So I was really pumped to talk to her about it during this interview. Aside from that, we also got to touch on issues of diversity in YA (young adult) books, as well as whether one really needs an MFA to become a successful writer.
The full transcript under the cut!
