Gwyneth Paltrow's Most Favorite Beauty Products are on Limelight
The eminent lifestyle guru and well-known diva, Gwyneth Paltrow is nothing next to a perfectionist and we get lucky as we candidly get to know about all her most wanted beauty products. What keeps her glowing throughout the day, the bold lip front and the secret behind that lustrous mane have all been finally revealed, and we are more than excited to share it with you.
As we know her as the girl with those gorgeously colored natural tresses with those oh-so-perfect perfect blowouts we wanted to know about the secret behind her hair and the most necessary products that she simply cannot do without. She stated that there is one brand called It's a 10 and it really helps to tame those unwanted frizzes. Well, she further says that her tresses are too frizzy which is why she never forgets to carry her blow-dry bar even to the gym and she chuckles and we go gaga!
Well next, we inquired about the skin and what keeps it super glowing like every time. She says that she in not quite proficient with the makeup part and is literally bad with makeup. In the past few years she has actually started to take care of her skin and she never forgets to do the bare minimum, that is eat healthy, lots of exercise and drink plenty of water, to flush out the toxins. As for the facial weekly routine, it is simply had core as for Paltrow like the squeezing, then the peeling, then the microdermabrasion and last yet not the least lasers! She was advised by her facialist Sonya Dakar to use oil and since then she uses it regularly. She has noticed that it does add a nice little glow to her hair.
Her recently discovered favorite brand is Tata Harper products. Well we wish we too get a bit of that glow like Palthrow!


text: Dear Parents, I'll probably be donned the BAD MOMMY for this but,,, It's been a crazy fun filled vacation week of company/relatives/cousins, the night before the water park her new site went bad again, I offered to give her a break, go off the pump, inject Humalog several times (5-7 times/day when needed) just for the next day so she could go to the water park without the pump,,, she usually goes low anyway... The day at the water park her numbers were anywhere from 50 to 350,,, corrected with H with a total of 4 shots in about 10 hours... she seemed to do fine, (even though we are used to the 100 - 120 range) BUT I don't think I'll offer a break from the pump again, she had a difficult time getting the insertion site back in, she just plain didn't want to get hooked up again,, it was so sad to see and all psychological,, her bGs went way up, small keytones, and then way down again, I kept letting her be the one to decide when to hook up, (she is 12 1/2) giving her the control over it all, she chose more shots of H, and ended up feeling sick for a while, maybe a virus starting to kick in. Now, with a new site, in a BRAND NEW location, her bGs are still unusually sporadic, from 51 to 510 in a matter of hours... again small keytones, She took 10 units of H to cover the 400bG plus a snack, an hour later she was 510 ,,, usually the higher the bG the longer it takes for her H to kick in with her Could this be because she was OFF of the constant flow of insulin for 24 hours? I also suspect she is fighting a virus - perhaps this all it is... I can't imagine the 3rd site in 3 tries being bad... especially since she has plummeted with this site in the last few hours. Just curious if anyone else has experience this sort of bG swing after being unhooked for over 24 hours. I'll be checking her every 45 minutes, and just give a shot if she doesn't start coming down but geeze,,, it's been an emotional few days here...

Monitoring of Microplastics in the Marine Environment
Changing Directions towards Quality Controlled Tailored Solutions
The need for harmonized monitoring protocols for marine microplastic has been discussed for many years, but how to reach this goal has not been agreed upon. Important questions addressed when microplastics are monitored are: how to carry out field sampling, how to eliminate other particulate matter from a sample without harming the microplastics, and how to accurately identify the particles, while also preventing and assessing potential sample contamination at each step from sampling to analyses. In the project HARMIC, Nordic scientist with long term experience in microplastic research, applied and evaluated different methods for sampling and sample preparation relevant for the establishment of common guidelines. The outcomes of the studies are discussed from a monitoring perspective, including aspects of quality assurance and quality control.

The Value of Motherhood
Charles Murray (@charlesmurray on Twitter) co-authored with the late Richard Herrnstein one of the most controversial books of the 20th century, The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life (1994). When it was first published, the harsh criticism from liberals — who claimed the book was practically neo-Nazi propaganda — led me to believe that it really was a bad book.
Liberal propaganda works this way. If enough people tell you they seesmoke(sexism, racism, homophobia, etc.) you tend to assume that there must actually be some kind of hateful fire. So in 1994-95, after reading numerous reviews, articles and op-ed columns condemning The Bell Curve as crypto-racist pseudo-science, I just assumed the critics were correct. It wasn't until 1996, when I made a dismissive remark about The Bell Curve in an Internet argument, that I found myself challenged: Had I actually read the book? So . . .
Charles Murray's critics were not merely wrong, they were dishonest (because SJWs Always Lie, as Vox Day has recently explained). The recognition that I had been scammed, hoodwinked and bamboozled by liberal smears of The Bell Curveangered me. The first 125 pages of the book, which have nothing to do with the subject of race, are perhaps the most valuable part of The Bell Curve. Standardized testing and nationwide recruiting by elite universities have resulted in cognitive segregation, the creation of something very much like a caste system. The educational apparatus by which high-IQ children are tracked into "gifted" programs in elementary school and "honors" programs in high school, with the goal of sending every smart kid in the country to an elite university, has the effect of dissolving the social and cultural affinities between the elite caste and the vast majority of Americans. (At age 11, I was placed in an experimental "gifted" program, the first of its kind in our community. I hated it — a ridiculous waste of time, a burdensome "honor" conferring no actual benefit — and rebelled against the system, becoming a teenage hoodlum in middle school.) Once you get past page 125 of The Bell Curve, really, it is an attempt to explain why liberal policies have failed to eliminate socioeconomic disparities between racial and ethnic groups. If you keep in mind that the argument is about the efficacy of public policy — what the government is doing in our name, with our tax dollars — the accusations of "racism" directed at The Bell Curve must be recognized as an attempt to silence a cogent criticism of five decades of blundering, misguided wastefulness. "The Ivy League is decadent and depraved." But I digress . . .
On Saturday, the Harvard-educated liberal snob Matthew Yglesias smeared Charles Murray by way of attacking Donald Trump, with the unintended consequence that a quote by Murray was called to my attention and, considering my own interest in radical feminism, I asked Murray via Twitter, "Did you ever tackle the 'innate differences' controversy that got Larry Summers fired at Harvard?" He replied with a link to an AEI paper he published in 2005, "The Inequality Taboo":
The president of Harvard University offered a few mild, speculative, off-the-record remarks about innate differences between men and women in their aptitude for high-level science and mathematics, and was treated by Harvard's faculty as if he were a crank. The typical news story portrayed the idea of innate sex differences as a renegade position that reputable scholars rejected. . . .
One such premise is that the distribution of innate abilities and propensities is the same across different groups. The statistical tests for uncovering job discrimination assume that men are not innately different from women, blacks from whites, older people from younger people, homosexuals from heterosexuals, Latinos from Anglos, in ways that can legitimately affect employment decisions. . . . Affirmative action in all its forms assumes there are no innate differences between any of the groups it seeks to help and everyone else. The assumption of no innate differences among groups suffuses American social policy. That assumption is wrong.
When the outcomes that these policies are supposed to produce fail to occur, with one group falling short, the fault for the discrepancy has been assigned to society. It continues to be assumed that better programs, better regulations, or the right court decisions can make the differences go away. That assumption is also wrong. . . .
Here we may interrupt to point out that the phrase "innate differences" refers toaverage differences between groups. Anyone who watches the NBA cannot help but notice that most of the players are black. This doesn't mean, however, that there are no good white, Asian or Hispanic basketball players. Nor does it mean that all black people are good at basketball. Also, it does not mean that the NBA is engaging in discrimination. Whenever we see any disproportionate outcome that might be explained by average group differences, we must keep in mind that such differences do not tell us anything about any individual's potential, abilities or tendencies, and it is generally a mistake, in a free society, to leap to the conclusion that discrimination causes disparities in outcomes. (The Bell Curve carries many such disclaimers, by the way.) Now, we return to Charles Murray's 2005 article:
The technical literature documenting sex differences and their biological basis grew surreptitiously during feminism's heyday in the 1970's and 1980's. By the 1990's, it had become so extensive that the bibliography in David Geary's pioneering Male, Female (1998) ran to 53 pages. Currently, the best short account of the state of knowledge is Steven Pinker's chapter on gender in The Blank Slate (2002). . . .
Regarding women, men, and babies, the technical literature is as unambiguous as everyday experience would lead one to suppose. As a rule, the experience of parenthood is more profoundly life-altering for women than for men. . . . Among humans, extensive empirical study has demonstrated that women are more attracted to children than are men, respond to them more intensely on an emotional level, and get more and different kinds of satisfactions from nurturing them. Many of these behavioral differences have been linked with biochemical differences between men and women.
Thus, for reasons embedded in the biochemistry and neurophysiology of being female, many women with the cognitive skills for achievement at the highest level also have something else they want to do in life: have a baby. In the arts and sciences, forty is the mean age at which peak accomplishment occurs, preceded by years of intense effort mastering the discipline in question. These areprecisely the years during which most women must bear children if they are to bear them at all.
Among women who have become mothers, the possibilities for high-level accomplishment in the arts and sciences shrink because, for innate reasons, the distractions of parenthood are greater. To put it in a way that most readers with children will recognize, a father can go to work and forget about his children for the whole day. Hardly any mother can do this, no matter how good her day-care arrangement or full-time nanny may be. My point is not that women must choose between a career and children, but thataccomplishment at the extremes commonly comes from a single-minded focus that leaves no room for anything but the task at hand.
You can read the whole thing, to which I wish to add this: It does not matter whether male-female differences, as they relate to parenting, are "innate" or "socially constructed." Biological realities of pregnancy and nursing mean that women have a greater personal investment in parenthood. Without any resort to Darwinian explanations, there are numerous practical reasons why we should expect mothers to be more nurturing than men. Furthermore, we would also expect mothers to be more nurturing than women who avoid motherhood. Radical feminists scoff at any suggestion that women's greater tendency toward nurturing is a matter of hard-wired neurological differences. Radical feminists deny that there is any such thing as "human nature" which could explain women's behavior in terms of a "maternal instinct." Radical feminists generally eschew motherhood and many of them abhor heterosexuality,per se. Women's Studies textbooks assert that only social and cultural influences (e.g., "compulsory heterosexuality") explain why most women desire husbands and babies. Because they have no "maternal instinct" nor any romantic or sexual interest in males, radical feminists seem to assume that other women are under the spell of some sort of patriarchal brainwashing: "Most Women Have to Be Coerced into Heterosexuality."
Why is this abhorrence of men, marriage and motherhood so common among radical feminists? Because they are intellectuals — academics, authors and journalists — and their chosen careers force them into a competition against males that makes it impossible for them to view men as anything other than hostile antagonists. In the ruthless competition for tenure-track professorships, the ambitious female academic has every incentive to avoid the "distractions" of marriage and motherhood.
There is a reason why "lesbianism and feminism have been coterminous,"as Professor Bonnie Zimmerman said, and the disproportionate overrepresentation of lesbians on university faculties is surely not a coincidence. One of the most outspoken critics of Larry Summers in the 2005 "innate differences" controversy was a lesbian professor named Denice Denton, who committed suicide not long after she became chancellor of UC-Santa Cruz. The anti-male/anti heterosexual ideology of feminism ("Fear and Loathing of the Penis") is pervasive in academia. One consequence is that college-educated women are encouraged to believe that motherhood is a task for which only stupid women are suited. No intelligent woman could possibly find pleasure in caring for small children, according to the anti-natalist fanatics who insist that motherhood is nothing but patriarchal oppression.
"I don't particularly like babies. They are loud and smelly and, above all other things, demanding . . . time-sucking monsters with their constant neediness. . . . I don't want a baby. . . . Nothing will make me want a baby. . . . This is why, if my birth control fails, I am totally having an abortion."
— Amanda Marcotte, March 2014
Feminism is not only man-hating, but also baby-hating, and insofar as feminism is the official philosophy of women in academia, a major function of our higher education system is to discourage intelligent women from having children. This means that each subsequent generation of American children will have less intelligent mothers, and yet feminists seem unconcerned about the potential consequences of this dysgenic trend. The Census Bureau issued a report in April that demonstrated the scope of this problem:
Not a high school graduate
Lifetime births (average) ….. 2.6
Childless ………………………….. 11.6%
Bachelor's degree
Lifetime births (average) ….. 1.8
Childless ………………………….. 19.9%
As I summarized this data, "High-school dropouts, on average, had 44% more children than women who had college diplomas. Childlessness was 72% more common for college graduates than for high-school dropouts." What does this mean? The future will be an increasingly stupid place.
An electorate with more stupid voters is good for the Democrat Party, I guess, which may explain why feminists don't give a damn about the emerging Idiocracy. Anything that helps Democrats is OK with Amanda Marcotte, but this trend that feminists have done so much to encourage should concern all Americans who have children and grandchildren.
Feminism stigmatizes motherhood. Feminists deny that the mother caring for her own children is doing valuable work. Feminism teaches that husband is a synonym for oppressor, and feminists proclaim that not only are fathers unnecessary to the well-being of children, but that fathers — like all other males — are a violent and terrifying menace.
"All women are prisoners and hostages to men's world. Men's world is like a vast prison or concentration camp for women. This isn't a metaphor, it's reality. Each man is a threat. We can't escape men."
— Radical Wind, August 2013
These are the ideas taught by Women's Studies professors in our universities. Ideas Have Consequences, Richard Weaver observed, and we cannot safely ignore the consequences of feminist ideas.
My stake in America's future is not merely a matter of rhetoric and ideology, but flesh and blood. "The personal is political," after all.
Busty Woman with long black hair
Hey, You Guys, It Is Now 'Anti-Feminist' to Say Feminists Are 'Not All Lesbians'
Carmen Rios (@carmenriosss) has described how she "became a women's studies major and a raging lesbian feminist in college." She is communications coordinator at the Feminist Majority Foundation. She speaks on behalf of the movement, and Carmen Rios is tired of hearing heterosexual women say the wrong thing:
3 Things 'We're Not All Lesbians' Is
Really Saying (And Why It's Anti-Feminist)
I came out and of age in the feminist movement, which means that I have done a lot of work alongside straight women – a lot of which has centered around bringing people into the movement, educating folks about what feminism is, dispelling myths about what it isn't, and doing modern-day consciousness raising to get more people involved on a global level.
And it's in those feminist recruitment spaces that I find that many well-intentioned, totally awesome, usually straight colleagues pull out an old and tired line we're all familiar with: "We're not all lesbians!"
Unfortunately, many of the myths about feminism that scare people away are more concerned with who feminists are than what we do or believe in.
People are worried we're all bra-burning, man-hating, witchcraft-practicing lesbians who refuse to shave and don't give a damn about looking good.
To which I say: So what if we are?
If all feminists were queer women with unshaved legs who embraced their bodies regardless of what they looked like and gathered in the woods to cast spells, I wouldn't give a damn. Because none of that matters! . . .
Feminism is a movement that's based in breaking norms.
It's often perceived as being, first and foremost, about breaking gender norms. . . . Feminism rejects a gender binary that pits women against men, and then renders them subordinate. And feminism rejects the idea that there is any part of our genders or sexualities that should be dictated by other people's expectations. . . .
No, we're not all lesbians. But some of us are. That's one of the things that makes up the fabric of the modern-day feminist movement and shapes its direction. And that's why proudly telling people "we're not all lesbians" isn't okay.
When we apologize for the things that make feminism radical or the aspects of our community and movement that smash normative ideas, we misrepresent what we're all about.
You can read the rest, but my question is, if feminists are "not all lesbians," why not? Or, to express the same idea differently: How could a feminist be heterosexual? As Carmen Rios says, feminists are against "gender norms" and believe that the "gender binary . . renders [women] subordinate." She herself feels complete revulsion toward males. A "raging lesbian feminist" like Carmen Rios would consider it an insult if anyone so much as implied that she might ever be romantically interested in a male. Her feminism is at least logically coherent.
What is mystifying is when Carmen Rios says she has "done a lot of work alongside straight women." Who are these women? How does feminist heterosexuality happen without reinforcing the "gender binary"? And what about the males who are (allegedly) involved with these (allegedly) heterosexual feminists? Exactly what purpose do these males serve in the lives of feminist women? Because feminism denies that males have any distinct social role or function, it is logically impossible that a feminist would ever actually need a man. Why, then, would a man wish to associate with a woman who considers him useless?
If a woman actually likes men, why is she a feminist? Why does she support a movement that condemns men for their "privilege" and tells women that relationships with males are oppressive?
When we talk about the norm, we're talking about a series of hurtful and oppressive social structures that maintain imbalances of power.
The norm is patriarchy, white supremacy, classism, heterosexism, cissexism, and a slew of other systems of privilege all wrapped up into one tiny phrase. . . .
It's societal norms that tell us women should do all they can to please and attract men, and then define themselves in relation to those men. . . .
And it's societal norms that define queer women — and lesbians in particular — as unattractive, broken people who failed to fit into that rigid set of expectations.
Carmen Rios wrote that, and we can be certain she believes it is acceptable for lesbians to "do all they can to please and attract" women, "and then define themselves in relation to those" women. Feminists enthusiastically approve of lesbian relationships. It is only heterosexual relationships that feminists criticize, denouncing them as expressions of "patriarchy," "heterosexism" and "systems of privilege." It is only heterosexual relationships that feminists condemn as "hurtful and oppressive social structures that maintain imbalances of power."
Feminists do not believe any woman should ever do anything "to please and attract men." Feminists believe women should "smash normative ideas" by rejecting all "societal norms." Because feminism is an anti-male movement, it is also necessarily an anti-heterosexual movement.
Carmen Rios understands this, which is why she is correct to say it is"anti-feminist" to say feminists are "not all lesbians."
And aren't we all glad she said it?

I went to the doctor to get my hormones checked and thankfully they are in the normal range. So, I got an ultrasound to see if maybe something was going on. Thankfully there was nothing wrong. So now our plan (the doctor and Shane and I's plan) is that I am going to go on birth control for three months which will hopefully get my cycle regulated (I had my period for a month two different times) and the birth control will make sure I am ovulating too. My doctor wasn't sure that I was. After the three months then I will go off of birth control and we will wait for two months and then we will buy an ovulation kit and then hopefully we will get pregnant!! We would really appreciate your prayers through this time!
Can I just say that Amelia is the best! She is so funny, smart, courageous, a good friend, silly, a talker, and so beautiful! She is just a joy to be around and it is my pleasure to get to be her mommy!

Here's how you know you live in Santa Fe: On a recent Sunday evening, the man-friend and I decided to go out to eat. We left the house around 8:15 pm and were seated at the restaurant of our choice by 8:45. It was, as you've probably figured out by now, Taberna La Boca (125 Lincoln Ave., Ste. 117, 988-7102)—La Boca chef James Campbell Caruso's latest venture, and a more casual, tapas-oriented version of his original Spanish-food destination.
One of our favorite pastimes is what we call "slow food Sundays," which pretty much just involves camping out at a local restaurant for a few hours to snack, drink some wine and catch up. We're both busy, so this is "us" time.
La Boca is one of our favorites—its servers are laid-back, and it serves tapas, so you're actually supposed to take your time. Usually, we go during off hours—from 3-6 pm, for instance—so we're not holding a table they need when the dinner crowd hustles through.
Anyway, we like to savor the food and the company, especially on Sundays. So there we were at Taberna—Spanish for "tavern," it definitely has a cozy bar vibe—ordering wine at 9 pm, and he says, "Shouldn't we just order all the tapas now?" Like, they're probably closing in about 15 minutes; it's an effing miracle they even seated us; so now we'd better hurry up and eat before it's too late.
Taberna is actually an experiment not just in dining, but also in nightlife. It serves food until 11 pm, and an entire menu of "cold tapas" sits waiting atop a long, wooden bar so that you can sip your wine, chat with the group of (young!) people hanging out there, and snack on something other than nachos or hot wings.
I half expected the menu to mimic La Boca's, but it doesn't: Taberna clearly has its own identity. The menu is elegant but casual, with a variety of simple and affordable tapas. The boquerones con romesco ($5)—two slices of crusty bread topped with earthy romesco sauce and deliciously salty white anchovies—were a perfect appetizer, while the croquetas de manchego ($8) incorporate high-quality sheep's milk to elevate the concept of fried cheese to something crusty, tangy and sublime. We loved the gambas a la plancha ($12), four exquisitely seasoned jumbo shrimp, and the champiñones al jerez ($9)—wild mushrooms sauteed in Spanish sherry. (If you order this, ask for some bread to sop up the savory juices.)
There are actual meals here, too: a fragrant mariscada, or shellfish stew ($12) and La Boca's famous paella ($24 for one person)—as well as several favorites borrowed from La Boca's tapas menu.
Although the place wasn't full by any means, the service was close to flawless, with attentive bussers and friendly servers who were more than happy to make recommendations. Among those recommendations: the chistorra, a long, skinny Basque sausage ("It's like a hot dog," our server said; he was exactly right) that arrives unadorned on a fluffy, toasted bun, accompanied by marinated onions and cornichons and thick, whole-grain mustard ($10, or half for $5).
The desserts, too, are appealingly lowbrow, with offerings like churros and pan de chocolate: two slices of bread smothered in dark chocolate, powdered sugar, sea salt and olive oil (sounds weird, but it's great).
By the time we'd finished our slow-food Sunday, we were perfectly satisfied, but not overfull. After topping off the meal with a small glass of amontillado sherry, we resolved to come back not just on Sundays, but anytime those late-night tapas cravings hit.

I am sure you have all seen how fat phobic (in food) we have become. Everyone seems to avoid fat like it's the plague, and what's worse is that we blame it for making us fat. So what's the deal, does fat make us fat and should we be scared of consuming foods with fat? Well, to answer that we need to understand a few things about fat. Fat is simply a macronutrient alongside proteins and carbohydrates, but due to its name, FAT, it has gotten a bad reputation amongst people trying to control their weight. More often than I would like I hear people complaining that they're not losing weight despite being on a no/low fat diet. It just doesn't work that way! We don't simply get fat by eating fat, so why then do we expect to lose fat by cutting fat out. We need to look at what really makes us gain fat: consuming a caloric surplus and chronically elevated blood sugar levels.
Consuming a caloric surplus
This one is simple basic math, if we consume more the we burn, then we will gain weight. Even if you are eating a no/low fat diet, but your total calories are still high, then you will continue to gain weight. There are two ways you can control your calorie balance to create a deficit: consuming less calories and burning more calories through exercise and physical activity. I suggest manipulating both these factors, which means eating healthier and exercising a little bit. You're more likely to create a calorie deficit if you hit it from those two angles.
Chronically elevated blood sugar levels
When we eat excess carbohydrates, whether it is the form of sugar or starch, they get converted into sugar in our bodies. In order to restore balance, our bodies produce the hormone insulin which shuttles excess sugars and stores them as fat for future energy use. This becomes problematic when a large portion of our foods come from carbohydrates. That's why it's crucial to make sure our diet is properly balanced between fats, proteins and carbohydrates.
Fats are essential for life, and healthy fats even help with muscle building, boosting your metabolism and lower overall body inflammation. In one of my next articles I'll discuss the different fats and which are good for you and which you should avoid. In the meantime, I hope this helped shed some light on how we lose fat and gain fat, so stop only blaming fat!!!
As always, make sure to keep following us on Facebook and Instagram for all the latest tips on exercise and nutrition. Feel free to comment and ask questions!!!

Abba's two leading men made a surprise appearance as hit musical Mamma Mia! celebrated its 20th anniversary.
Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, one half of the Swedish pop sensation, delighted audience members on Saturday night as the musical marked two decades in the West End.
The pair, who wrote the music and lyrics to the popular show, sparked huge applause and cheers from a packed Novello Theatre in London when they took to the stage after the performance.
Ulvaeus told the crowd it was "both strange and wonderful to be on this stage tonight" and thanked them for being "a fantastic audience".
They were joined by producer Judy Craymer, director Phyllida Lloyd and writer Catherine Johnson, who Ulvaeus described as "three angels".
Celebratory confetti rained down on the theatregoers during a medley of Abba classics including Dancing Queen and Waterloo.
Speaking backstage, Andersson said it had been "too long" since he had seen the show and revealed he felt moved on the anniversary.
Praising the cast as "wonderful", he added: "There is a chance to be immersed, to get moved and I was tonight and I'm happy that I can feel that."
The feel-good tale, centred on a mother, a daughter and three possible fathers on an idyllic Greek island, unfolds to Abba's timeless pop masterpieces and has now been seen live on stage by 65 million people across the world.

The musical was adapted for the silver screen in 2008 and starred Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth, and the film cast returned for the sequel Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again in 2018.
The London stage show, which has been seen by more than nine million people and played more than 8,000 performances, originally opened at the capital's Prince Edward Theatre on 6 April 1999, before transferring to the Prince of Wales Theatre in 2004, and to its current home in 2012.
Globally the musical has been seen in 50 productions in 16 different languages, and grossed more than four billion dollars at the box office.

I love the shape of this tree. The way it spreads out to offer the shade underneath is what I love; quite similar to illustrations of a tree we see in stamps or book logos. BTW, we see a similar transformation here in Jaipur. The tree which goes all bare in summer and then becomes green during the monsoon is part of a phenomenon of survival. I have never heard about the first tree before. So in which location you found these trees?

Sat July 24, 2004 - West Edition
YANCOPIN, AR (AP) The new Montgomery Point Lock and Dam was officially completed July 16 with a dedication ceremony recognizing the $237 million public works project and two decades of planning and construction.
The lock and dam was built because of periodic low-water conditions on the White River channel at its entrance to the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System. Montgomery Point was designed to maintain a year-round navigation pool and eliminate the need for major dredging in the area.
Officials were asked in 1980 to investigate low-water problems on the White River and a feasibility study began in 1986.
But most Arkansans will likely be oblivious to the new lock and dam.
It was built far from their eyes, amid pristine bottomland hardwood forest that's part of a national wildlife refuge, and only accessible by land over a dirt road that in some places is prone to seasonal flooding. Those most likely to notice it are hunters, anglers and barge crews passing through the area northeast of Dumas where the White, Arkansas and Mississippi rivers converge.
On the one hand, that's almost a shame, considering that the structure is an impressive feat of engineering that represents an advancement in lock and dam construction. On the other, it is intended to be unobtrusive in response to environmental concerns.
"This was certainly a very complicated design. There's not many countries that could do this," said Army Corps of Engineers project manager Mike Biggs. "To go to a remote site like this at the confluence of three rivers and put in a state-of-the-art design was definitely an engineering feat that's worthy of recognition."
It's almost a sure thing that the most people who will ever be at the site at one time will be the up to 350 who were expected when the Montgomery Point Lock and Dam was dedicated. As part of the ceremony, the World War II-era submarine USS Razorback was scheduled to be the first vessel to transit the structure on itsway up the Arkansas River to a permanent home in North Little Rock.
The project was built to ease seasonal navigation problems along a 10.2-mile stretch of the White River connecting the Mississippi River with the Arkansas River, a transportation corridor for commodities from Arkansas and Oklahoma. Together, the corridor is called the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System, stretching 445 river miles with 18 locks and dams helping traffic climb 420 feet of elevation.
Officials said the problem that Montgomery Point is designed to fix is seasonal low water levels in the area –– the water becomes shallower as the Mississippi River level drops.
Corps spokesman P.J. Spaul said that, in the past, the agency has had to dredge the area frequently to keep a deep-enough channel open. During low-water periods, he said, traffic was restricted, occasionally had to be escorted to the canal connecting to the Arkansas River or was shut down completely.
The dam itself is unique, employing hinged-crest gates that can be lowered to the river bottom when the water level is high enough to make the adjacent lock unnecessary. Traffic will pass over the gates to one side of the lock.
When the river drops, the gate will be raised to block downstream flow and create a deep-enough navigational pool for barges to use after passing through the lock.
Biggs said at least one similar dam design has been built, but the one at Montgomery Point is a step forward because it uses hydraulics to raise and lower the gates. Also, he said, since the water level at that point can fluctuate up to 60 ft., the concrete wharf and concrete guide walls of the lock are designed to float.
Unlike most lock and dams, which tend to be large and bulky structures, the one at Montgomery Point is small. Biggs said the control tower is the only part that will always be visible above water.
Bob Portiss, former president of the Arkansas-Oklahoma Port Operators Association, said the Arkansas River system handles about 12 million tons of cargo each year, and he expects that to increase with the Montgomery Point project complete.
"It finally enables us to prove to our shippers that we do have a reliable river. This will take care of that problem," he said. "If there was a lack of confidence, this will restore it."
Environmental concerns also play a part in the project. Conservationists hope the design will help stabilize the lower White River, in turn helping preserve intact the surrounding bottomland forest.
Also, Corps officials said the dam will eliminate the need for about 90 percent of the dredging that currently takes place, reducing the amount of disturbance to mussel beds.
"There are some co-benefits that we hope will come from the dam," said Lee Moore, lower Mississippi River program director for The Nature Conservancy.
Biggs said the needs of the different groups involved worked out well for the most part.
"Why put in all the bells and whistles when what you need is a lock and a dam?," he said.

If you are about to get married and are having a hard time deciding where to go in your honeymoon then you aren't alone. A marriage provides plenty of stress to your life and making an attempt to plan your honeymoon round all the other issues you have got happening will be tough. If you're at present uncertain of where you and your future partner want to go listed below are the top ten honeymoon destinations for those dwelling within the United States.
Love letters are so personal that basically something could go. You may be funny, playful, inventive, or critical. Think about what your companion would like and use the next love letter writing sources that can assist you put together your love letter phrases. lol! people discover such faults in the works of writers and artists, however they care not after they cannot be arsed themselves!
What I like finest is it consists of over a hundred and twenty pages but I control which pages I need to print and use in my Enterprise Binder(s) to personally match my business planning, targets and tasks! My personal favorite design is the Dreamy Confetti design (high left). After making a few sitcom appearances Pam landed an everyday function on the hit ABC sitcom Dwelling Improvement". Two season's later she determined to take a task on the hit syndicated show Baywatch" so she might take her dog, Star, to work.
Males aren't like ladies and so they simply do not know what we would like. In addition they get drained after a long days work, stress about financial standings and once they do get an opportunity all that they really want to do is sofa it! Yang said the marriage needed to be postponed from 1.30pm to three.30pm last Saturday as a result of Chou, who wrote a chunk to be played by a string orchestra, took quite a lot of care with the rehearsal. These Calendar Grids will also be a fun addition to a bulletin board. You could possibly use the Calendar Grid to track birthdays and special events….a prayer journal…and extra!
If you're touring someplace quasi-abandoned, contemplating renting/getting a large-angle lens (they even make them for mobile phones). These come in useful for when taking some selfies. Thank you for this hub, it was an important help for me. In case you need any more inspiration, I can solely advocate listening to music while you write. This is by far the most viewed wedding ceremony video on the web with over seventy two million views! It has been enjoyed by many.

About this book
About half a century ago a small satellite, Sputnik 1, was launched. The satellite did very little other than to transmit a radio signal to announce its presence in orbit. However, this humble beginning heralded the dawn of the Space Age. Today literally thousands of robotic spacecraft have been launched, many of which have flown to far-flung regions of the Solar System carrying with them the human spirit of scientific discovery and exploration. Numerous other satellites have been launched in orbit around the Earth providing services that support our technological society on the ground.
How Spacecraft Fly: Spaceflight Without Formulae by Graham Swinerd focuses on how these spacecraft work. The book opens with a historical perspective of how we have come to understand our Solar System and the Universe. It then progresses through orbital flight, rocket science, the hostile environment within which spacecraft operate, and how they are designed. The concluding chapters give a glimpse of what the 21st century may hold in terms of human exploration of the Solar System and more futuristic propulsion technologies for interstellar travel.
Graham Swinerd invites you to understand "how spacecraft fly," while becoming a convincing rocket scientist along the way!

I was in the middle of writing my post about today's preschool activities when Sophie yelled, "Mom, Riley took off her diaper and has poop everywhere!" That's what I get for sneaking away into my room for a few minutes of blog time. Somewhere in a far corner of my subconscious mind I suppose I knew a poopie incident could occur, yet the realization of it still came as a surprise. "Surprise!" Maybe I'm not too fond of surprises. Did you know both "poopie" and "poopy" are considered correct spellings? I had to look it up.
Somehow, Riley took off her dance leotard all by herself and removed her own dirty diaper. It's not like I had neglected her diaper needs. I had just given her a fresh diaper thirty minutes earlier and had no idea she needed changed again. Fortunately, Riley did not get poop "everywhere" as Sophie suggested, and Spot Shot came to the rescue. Notice I didn't actually show you the poo. You're welcome.
So, back to the preschool activities I planned for today, and "Poop on the carpet," is not a part of my lesson plans.
Today we worked with our Leap Frog fridge magnet sets. All three girls play with these together. Sometimes they put them on the fridge and sometimes they play with them on trays. Sophie likes to use the metal cookie trays to spell out words with the letters.
Piper uses the letters with the toy which tells her, in a catchy tune, the name of each letter and the sound(s) it makes.
Riley prefers to match the front and back of animals and place them in the barn. The barn sings another catchy tune and tells her if she made a match or not and says information about the animal she matched. If she puts mismatched pieces together, the barn tells her that too. For example, "You put a pig in front, you put a cow behind, put them together and what do you find? A pigcow? That's silly. snort-moo". That's my favorite part of this toy. It makes me smile every time. (this is the "crime evidence" dance leotard she removed in the poopie incident)
We may or may not make it to the library in time for the weekly childrens' storytime group. Sophie likes to go to the library and check out new books every week- especially Fancy Nancy books, but she and Piper aren't too keen on the thirty minute storytime. Riley loves storytime and I think the librarian does a fantastic job.
This afternoon we'll head to a friend's house for a playdate. I try to get a playdate in once every two or three weeks. I'd do it more often if I could get some scheduled. Any takers out there? Dressing up in princess dresses or dance leotards is a plus, but not a requirement.
Tonight I think there will be a mug of hot tea, a warm bubble bath, and a book calling my name - after the kids are asleep and all dirty diapers are out of Riley's reach.

My 3 year old has Leukemia so he does preschool home with me. Is that what you are doing with your girls? Just curious. Eases my mind a little to know that I am not the only doing this.ReplyDelete
Dear Brac and Zoe's Mama,ReplyDelete
Yes, I do some preschool activities with my girls at home. I just find things I think they'd enjoy by browsing preschool blogs and put my own spin on it. Being a former elementary teacher, I tend to buy them educational games and I could spend hours at the teacher supply store buying up all kinds of things to use at home.
I'm praying right now for the health and healing of your little one.

Concussion is a form of traumatic brain injury. When a person suffers a bump, blow or jolt to the head, the brain can shift and hit the inside of the skull. A sudden movement or jarring of the brain can temporarily change how the brain normally works.
Fortunately, a concussion is usually temporary, and most people recover relatively quickly.
Common symptoms of concussion include the following:
- Headache, pressure in the head
- Dizziness
- Feeling tired or less energetic
- Fuzzy or blurry vision
- Nausea and/or vomiting
- Problems concentrating or focusing, feeling "in a fog"
- Sleeping more or less than usual or difficulty falling asleep
- Irritability or personality changes
Seek medical attention right away if you notice any of these danger signs after a head injury.
Concussion: what you should know
- Helmets may not prevent 100 percent of concussions, but wearing a helmet during high-impact or fast-moving activities may decrease your chances of sustaining a serious head injury. Always make sure the helmet offers the correct level of protection for each activity and that it fits properly.
- Most people who suffer a concussion never lose consciousness. In other words, you don't have to have loss of consciousness to have a concussion.
- A repeat concussion that happens before the brain fully recovers from the first can result in brain swelling, permanent brain damage and even death. So it is essential after a head injury to be evaluated, treated and medically cleared by concussion experts — like the specialists at the Chicago Sports Concussion Clinic at Rush — before returning to sports or other fast-moving activities.
How can I get help for concussion?
Seek medical attention if you experience these symptoms after a bump, blow or jolt to the head or body:
- Headache
- Feeling tired or less energetic
- Fuzzy or blurry vision
- Nausea and vomiting
- Problems concentrating or focusing
- Sleeping more or less than usual or difficulty falling asleep
- Irritability or personality changes
Some concussion symptoms may appear right away, while others may not be noticed for several hours or days after the injury.
If you start to have symptoms at any time, including these concussion danger signs, call your primary care doctor or go to the emergency room right away.
Care for concussion at Rush
Depending on the type and seriousness of your symptoms, you may be seen or treated by several different specialists at Rush, including the following:
- Primary care sports medicine doctors
- Neurologists
- Neuropsychologists
- Physiatrists (physical medicine and rehabilitation doctors)
Treatment for concussion depends on the seriousness of the injury and your symptoms:
- Rest is very important following a concussion. Your doctor will tell you which activities you should avoid and when you can return to normal activity.
- Most concussions do not require surgery or major medical treatment. These are usually necessary only if you have bleeding or swelling of the brain or a serious brain injury.
- Your doctor may send you to be evaluated by a physical therapist or occupational therapist if you're having coordination or balance problems, or are having trouble with daily activities.
Most people recover from concussion within one to two weeks; however, a small percentage of people may have symptoms that last longer. Recovery may be slower in older adults, as well as in young children and teens whose brains are still developing.
Why choose Rush for concussion care
- The neurology, neurosurgery and orthopedics programs at Rush, which include specialists who treat concussion, are consistently ranked among the best in the country by U.S. News & World Report.
- Athletes who suffer a bump or blow to the head can see a doctor for assessment within 24 to 48 hours at the Chicago Sports Concussion Clinic at Rush. The clinic has one of the largest teams of clinicians in the Midwest specially trained to assess and manage concussions in athletes.
- As team doctors for the Chicago Bulls, Chicago White Sox and DePaul Blue Demons and a variety of other teams, sports medicine doctors at Rush have decades of experience treating concussion and other injuries in high-level athletes.
- The Road Home Program at Rush offers Chicago-area military veterans consultations and treatment for combat-related traumatic brain injury (including concussion), plus other vital services and support for veterans and their families.
- Specialists at Rush are nationally recognized for their research on the effects of concussion and severe brain injury and how to prevent and treat concussion and traumatic brain injury.

That Elusive Last Star
I'm sure the distribution of ratings in my iTunes music library says something about me.
I've spent some time thinking about how to assign ratings and even writing scripts to report on my progress. And what progress have I to report?
Of 2720 rated songs in my library, exactly 15 are deemed worthy of a perfect 5 stars.
This seems way too stingy, especially when I glance at some other peoples ratings. If not stingy then at least pessimistic.
I mean, look at Amazon or any other site which employs the near-ubiquitous five-star ranking system. Better still, conduct a social research experiment where you look for patterns in the way that people assign ratings to things online. My guess is that 5 stars are pretty common.
Random-blogger-I-stumbled-across Matt Thommes seems to agree and says that this might be attributable to the commonly-used design where each star has an equal visual weight, thus biasing the 5 star rating. He might be onto something.
But it's nice to know that I'm not a complete freak of nature. On a recent O'Reilly Distributing The Future podcast, a professional photographer explained how he rated his photos. The short version is that he doesn't use 5 stars at all. Nope, according to him, the magical fifth star is reserved for future expansion!
Wow. I'd never thought about that. All those people with 5 stars and nowhere to go from there. What if they need that extra push over the cliff? Where's the iTunes that goes to 6 stars? Where?

As temperatures get colder and our skin gets drier, sometimes it feels like anything you put on your skin is immediately sucked into the vortex of cracks and dry spots. It can be easy to end up shelling out hundreds, even thousands on moisturisers that promise to turn your skin into the glowing, dewy sheath of your dreams.
But what if I told you the answer, beloved by celebrities and poor students alike, could be snaffled for under $20? Enter Weleda Skin Food, a tiny green tube holding an intensely hydrating whole body cream you can put anywhere from your face to your feet.
Weleda told Newshub the formula has been around since 1926.
It's a favourite of celebrities like Rihanna, Adele and Julia Roberts. Victoria Beckham told InStyle magazine it was her "body secret".
"What I love about it is that it's not particularly expensive and you can find it anywhere," she explained. "The formula is so thick and buttery... I suppose some people may not like the greasiness, but it helps me hold on to the colour. And by the time I leave the house, I feel as if it's really sunk in. Like my skin's had a good drink."
Julia Roberts also told the magazine she uses it as a hand cream.
"I put it on my hands after I wash the dishes, and wind up putting it on my elbows and feet," she said. "Before you know it, I've squeezed this poor little green tube into a twist."
And it's also loved by those closer to home. Dancing With the Stars NZ judge Camilla Sacre-Dallerup said it's been saving her skin after long hours covered in makeup under the hot lights of the show.
"Weleda Skin Food is my go to when my skin feels tired, it's like a quick facial but I also use it every night on my hands," she told Newshub.
Skin Food includes extracts of organic chamomile, calendula, wild pansy and rosemary in a thick base of sunflower seed oil, sweet almond oil and organic beeswax to provide a fine protective barrier against the ravages of wind and weather.
It's also great for chapped lips and noses, as a revitalising face mask or as a make-up primer and a highlighter for cheekbones.
The 30ml bottle can be bought on the Weleda website for $13.90, or the 75ml bottle is $22.90.

Henri IV made sure not to burden the workers with the costs of his extensive building and reconstruction projects. To pay for the Pont Neuf, for instance, he taxed every cask of wine that came into the city. Enthroned in the Louvre Palace, issuing pardons to all combatants, making his visionary plans for the restoration of the broken city, he won the people's allegiance. "We must be brought to agreement by reason and kindness," he wrote, "and not by strictness and cruelty which serve only to arouse men." In this magnanimous spirit, he drafted and signed the Edict of Nantes, granting tolerance and freedom of worship to the reformist religion in 1598 (the same year he undertook the Pont Neuf, originally planned by the Valois king Henri III). Such was his popularity that even the most rigid Catholics chose not to make war against Henri's mandated tolerance.
Born into the House of Bourbon and raised in the southwest, in the kingdom of Navarre, at the time a small independent realm in the Basque country between France and Spain, he had the Gascon temperament described by Balzac as "bold, brave, adventurous, prone to exaggerate the good and belittle the bad,… laughing at vice when it serves as a stepping stone." At every stage, Henri IV was a charmer, "his eyes full of sweetness,… his whole mien animated with an uncommon vivacity," to quote one magistrate. The northern, more cerebral French regarded the men of the South, who spoke Provençal, as foreigners.
Henri IV was baptized in the Catholic Church but was given a Protestant tutor after his parents converted to Protestantism. When his father—but not his mother—returned to the Church, he gave his son a Catholic tutor. The boy, however, kept his mother's reformed faith, even while studying in Catholic Paris at the College of Navarre on the hill of Sainte Geneviève. (Read more.)Share

I loved your list. Couple of things I particularly relate to: I named my dog after Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird, loved the book; and I, too, dropped out of HS and got my GeD. I, however, went on to higher education and earned multiple doctorates from the Universal Life Church --- I am a Dr. of Immortality AND almost a Dr of Motivation..if I can just bring myself to finish the application. Yawn.

However, many think that this idea is just a pipe dream. Running a home business can be even easier than you think, though, if you know how to do it efficiently and profitably. If you are looking to start a home business, read this article. It contains valuable advice and information on how to begin.
It is important to dress for success, even if you are just working out of your home. Although you may feel like wearing pajamas when you work in a home office, don't. You should dress up no matter where you work. Dressing for success will put you in a mindset to be productive.
Starting a home business can be exciting, but it also takes a ton of initiative and a burning desire to bring your dreams into reality. Regional laws regarding building codes and requirements may make your home office ill-suited for conducting business. If local regulations are an obstacle, consider building an addition to your home that meets code. Setting aside a dedicated space for your home office will keep you focused on your work.
Check out any employee that you might hire to help build your home business. Be certain that all potential employees are highly qualified for the product or service that you are selling to avoid any damage to your business.
Make a list of products that are intriguing when you can't come up with an idea about what to sell from a home business. Pick products that will be useful to people. Selecting a product that will be successful involves thinking about people's needs. Consider your own needs when trying to determine the needs of your consumers.
When you have a home business, it is very helpful to have a supportive peer group. If there are none available, gather up other home business owners with a view to starting your own. While those in your group might not work in your specific industry, you will have the common bond of owning a home business.
To keep track of your business, open a checking account strictly for the business. Make sure all orders and expenses go through this account. This will let you know exactly what is going on with your business. Use a business credit card for transactions that you cannot pay cash for, such as building inventory, in order to keep business separate from your personal accounts.
Always maintain immaculate records with your home business. If you ever are audited, you'll need to be able to show all of those records. Having accurate records to refer to also aids in tracking the progress of your business on a monthly basis.
When providing information to your customers, you have to give them sufficient information to be informed, but not so much that they suffer overload. Let them know about specials, discounts, new content, and so on via your e-mail alerts and newsletters. The last thing you want to do is become a nuisance to your customers by overloading them.
Many people dream all their lives about starting a home business. Not knowing how to launch a meaningful venture from home thwarts many who would otherwise have great potential as a home worker. This article is designed to provide you with all the advice and information you need to make a success of your own home business.

Brexit: Keeping the Overseas Territories inside the loop
Brexit is a huge economic, social, and political matter that the Overseas Territories (OT) of Great Britain must engage with.
At root, Owen Jones the Guardian Columnist has described Brexit as, ''driven by conservative media outlets and the right wing who have demonized migrants and blamed migrants for stagnating wages, and the UK housing crisis, which in fact is caused by austerity and the UK Tory Government.''
Civil War
The aftermath of the 2016 Brexit Referendum has seen a spiraling of race hate in the UK.
Brexit itself was never a racist movement. Brexit has simply attracted the worst elements in British Society; very much like Donald Trump's 'America First' has, in the USA
And make no mistake. Brexit is tearing the UK apart politically, economically, and socially.
Brexit is a civil war that may well continue for decades.
Why: half the UK population feels strongly that the UK must leave the European Union. The other half holds a polar opposite view; that Britain is better off inside the E U.
Brexit has plunged the UK into political paralysis. There is a question mark over the sustainability of a Post Brexit UK.
The Caribbean OTs must keep close watch on how Brexit evolves. Why: because as OTs Territories, what takes place in London and Brussels has consequences for the OTs.
It is impossible to assess how Brexit will impact the OTs. And presently, it is impossible to predict the outcome of the Brexit process.
As of March 15, 2019, Brexit is headed for delay, after the UK was scheduled to exit the European Union (EU) on March 29, 2019.
Brexit has become a nightmare for the British Establishment.
There is a threat that Brexit may break up the UK, with Scotland and Wales voting to leave the UK, and become part of the European Union.
The EU is a loose confederation. Brexit could see a resurgence of Irish Republicanism as a hard border is re-established between Northern Ireland and Ireland Proper.
Ireland is an enthusiastic member of the EU.
Now, the world is today made up of rapidly integrating regions driven by three economic power blocs.
The idea of sovereign nation states is a diminishing one.
Countries are coming together in economic and political blocs: super regions. This is a direct result of globalization: the shrinking of the world through digital technology and trade.
The first bloc is the Americas led by the United States.
And despite Trump and his ''Pitchfork revolution,'' – and a fear by Trump's Base of being overwhelmed by ''brown people''- the USA, Canada, and Mexico, will ultimately drive the rest of the economies in the region, as China becomes the key adversary of the USA.
Trump has failed to destroy the global order, despite his aggressive protectionist rhetoric.
European Confederation
The second Bloc is the European Union. The EU is a market of over 500 million middle income consumers.
It possesses a huge market that is at the center of the European Confederation. The world's most affluent and socially developed countries sit in the north of Europe.
The third bloc is a much more ambiguous economic region.
It is less cohesive and less defined. It is Asia. If Asia is termed an economic bloc with China at the center, then it is the largest economic region and the fastest growing.
China, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, and New Zealand sit in the South Pacific. Then Russia and India tend to lean towards the Pacific in terms of their economic growth.
Single Market
The rest of the world: Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa, link their economies with these massive economic blocs in various ways that reflect their own strategic and economic interests. ,
Britain – with its OTs who are ruled by Westminster—sits at the heart of the European Union.
However, in 2016, Britain in a Referendum, voted to leave the Union. Britain voted to leave a bloc of 28 states that form a single market.
The preceding calculus is at the heart of the Brexit drama.
The Brexiteers who drove the 2016 Referendum, and the anti- European culture in the UK for decades before 2016, simply failed to understand how the world had changed.
Consequently as the date approached to exit the European Union, Britain hit a wall called reality.
To simply cut the cord and leave meant chaos: termed a Hard Brexit.
Britain is joined to the European Union at the hip.
British commerce is organically part of European commerce. It is nearly impossible to disengage with the EU commercially without major, negative, economic and social impacts.
Jobs will be lost. UK living standards will drop.
There will be logistical and security nightmares. The UK will be plunged into a recession that could even become depression.
UK airlines will go into receivership as airports in the EU stop flights from the UK preferring, European Union carriers. Seventy per cent of UK groceries are imported from Europe.
A new tariff regime will see food prices in the UK skyrocket. Hard borders will become reality. Britons will require new entry protocols to visit Europe.
Jobs Threat
Investors, who control the global economy, have taken fright. And even UK investors and businesses that supported Brexit have fled the country in a grotesque hypocrisy.
A number of the UK's wealthiest men recently packed their bags and left for jurisdictions such as Singapore and Monaco.
Numerous British companies are voting on Brexit by moving their head offices to European cities: Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin, and Brussels.
Even the UK's most critical economy, the City of London and the financial and investment services London offers, is seeing capital flight to mainland Europe, and a threat to thousands of lucrative jobs in the City of London.

1 Response to "Brexit: Keeping the Overseas Territories inside the loop"
Politico Nuevo (16/03/2019, 09:50) Like (3) Dislike (0) ReplyBrexit is a royal mess for the UK. Think the OTs are the furthest thing from UK parliamentarians mind. UK voters voted in June 2016 by a razor thin margin, 51.9%, to leave the EU. The vote was driven by fear and isolationism; voters wanted to restrict migration from other EU countries into the UK. Now as the March 29 date looks the UK iseemed to be twisted into knots as to how to leave, ie, crash out or structured agreement, the EU. It is like it wants its cake and eat it too. Clearly, voters reacted and didnot think about the unintended consequences. The UK needs the EU. Britannia?

Plate Carrier Backpack: an armored holdall
This is the PCB (Plate Carrier Backpack) from Devcore. There's more to it than what you're used to seeing in an armored backpack like those with soft armor panels sewn in. And while it certainly qualifies as a concealed carry backpack, that's actually an overqualification — unless you know of another pack that allows you to "draw" a long gun out for the emergency application of social work?
That's not a rhetorical question. If you do, let us know, we want to check it out.
Lowpro "Tactical Backpack" (the PCB)
According to their release, Devcore describes the PCB as a "…rapidly deployable, fully modular plate carrier concealed within a sturdy, well-designed, but innocuous backpack.
"In short," they say, "it's legitimately lowpro."
They continue:
In addition to housing a front and back hard-armor plate carrier, the BCB is perfectly capable of concealing SBRs, PDWs, AR15 pistols and the like and allowing their deployment on demand. This isn't an SBR bag used to stow a weapon for transit. This pack maintains the weapons in a ready status so they can be produced and presented quickly at need.
Lowpro is good, for a number of reasons and practical applications. While there are many good packs out there, and as many different kinds of holdall as people to use and companies to make 'em, but this seems worth a second look. In fact, this might just be the best EDC backpack or even aircraft carry on luggage idea we've seen yet. It would make an excellent active shooter response kit too, of course, but we're actually more interested in how this would apply to some of our daily activities (particularly travel).
The only thing that might make this any cooler would be to go full Rocketeer with it.
Though most people probably go straight to the typical, this is perfect for covert opts and tactical tacticalness! thought process — and fair enough, 'cuz it is — we think there are many everyday/everyman applications. A professor or teacher could use it to transport papers and lesson plans back and forth. Throw some road flares, maps, lensatic compass, and the like inside and use keep it in your vehicle. Maybe add some Yaktrax and a small woobie in a compression sack too (it's that time of year).
And hey, with this thing you won't have to fight the body armor funk.
Concealed Carry Backpack (sorta)
About the Devcore Plate Carrier Backpack:
As you can see, the wearer can go from backpack to armed up and pistol ready in just a couple of seconds. Readying a long gun requires less than another couple of seconds. This makes it a superb option for lowpro and low visibility work in semi- or non-permissive environments. It would also serve well in those situations where it's better to remain low key and prepared vs. "jocked up" and ready. Such operations might include surveillance, hiding "in plain sight" in a crowd during high profile events, pre-positioned support elements of PSD personnel, and similar mission sets.
The pack would also obviously be an excellent way to keep active shooter response kit on standby or as the primary holdall for bail-out bags, bug-out bags, and get-home kits.
DEVCORE will not ship ballistic armor OCONUS.
Current inserts include:
- IFAK module (medical kit insert)
- Admin Pouch (utility insert)
- Chest holster (PCB plate carrier holster module)
- Covert rifle case (long gun weapon module)
