The knock on the Irish is their defense has played along all season. The Irish have forced adversaries to go three and out on 29.7 percent of its goods, Ranking 11th best country wide, But they may have allowed 18 pays of 35 yards or more. They've also lost focus once in a while, Allowing Georgia Tech to score two late touchdowns to make it close and allowing Boston College to score 13 points in the fourth quarter on Saturday to cut the lead to 19 16 to make it irritatingly close.. The best thing is we got some young players making some plays. So we been able to spread the ball around some more, And that always what we do best. We got a lot of people making plays and not only one or two guys.
He tied with Landry for the team lead with five receptions and carried out with a combined 53 all purpose yards.Miller has looked quite good via preseason and appears poised for a big year in 2015.While it seems a formality that Damien Williams will be the number two back behind Miller, It's been up floating around as to who will be next on the depth chart.Rookie Jay Ajayi was given a chance to show his stuff after injuries have kept him limited over the preseason. Ajayi carried the ball 7 times for 25 yards and made few catches as well.The starting defense persistent to play well, Led by Cam wake up, Ndamukong Suh and that scary protective line.Miami's top unit gave up few field goals, The first points they have perhaps surrendered all preseason.One of the few field goals came after a botched snap on a Dolphins punt which set the Falcons up deep in Miami territory, But the defense held them from the end zone. One more field goal, Any kind of a major 50 ya definiterder, Came as time terminated on the first half.Besides the usual defensive suspects, Derrick Shelby had a great game and was on field, The finished product with three tackles.Saturday was the third time in as many preseason games that your chosen Dolphins took a lead into halftime, This occassion a slim 7 6 advantage.Atlanta got the ball at the beginning the third quarter and tested Miami's second string defense.The Falcons went on a long drive that took them completely down to the Dolphins 1 yard line but that's as far as they got.A fourth down sack by rookie linebacker Mike Hull capped off the incredible goal line stop.
All I can do merely show what I do,While other spot is set on a team that has Super Bowl aspirations, Bethel tried to assure fans that nearly anything will be all right at cornerback, At the same time,Brandon's participating in great, Bethel stated that.

It's also very common for men to experience sexual problems. Around 1 in 10 men have an issue with sex and performance at some point in their lives. Problems can be short lived or long-term and can affect any man, whether he is gay, straight, bisexual or transgender. There's lots of help and advice available for any of these issues.
Erection problems
Many men have erection problems at some time in their life and the causes can be physical and/or psychological but can often be improved by making changes to your lifestyle, such as losing weight if you are overweight or giving up smoking or alcohol. However, you should see your GP if you have erection problems for more than a few weeks as it could be a sign of a more serious health condition. In some cases your GP may recommend tablets called PDE-5 inhibitors eg. Viagra or Cialis, that can help with erection problems. If these drugs don't work or are not suitable, other treatments include:
- vacuum pumps
- penis injections
- counselling
Find out more about Erectile dysfunction.
Reduced sensitivity in men
Reduced sensitivity in men A lack of sensitivity in the penis is a normal part of ageing and it can make it more difficult for some men to get an erection and reach orgasm.
To help, you could:
- exercise your penis by having daily erections (even if it's not for sex)
- try more direct stimulation of your penis during sex to improve your erection
Stopping smoking, losing weight and exercising more often can help by improving blood flow to the penis.
See your GP if you have reduced sensitivity as this can sometimes be caused by another health condition.
Premature ejaculation is where a man reaches climax and ejaculates (cums) sooner than he wants. It can happen to everyone but becomes a problem if it bothers you or your partner. Anxiety, stress or relationship issues can be some of the reasons behind it.

A concerned neighbour called the police, but 40-year-old pet Rambo was the source of the noise.
When a neighbour heard someone screaming "Let me out", they called the police – only to discover the culprit was a 40-year-old parrot named Rambo.
Four deputies from Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office (PBSO) were called to investigate the commotion in a Florida neighbourhood at the end of December.
Footage, shared on social media, shows a man repairing a car in his driveway when the officers turn up.
After they explained their concerns, the man said he would introduce them to the perpetrator.
When he returned with the parrot, they burst out laughing.
The unidentified man told the officers he taught Rambo to scream "Let me out!" when he was a child and Rambo lived in a cage.
PBSO wrote on Facebook: "Our deputies in Lake Worth Beach came to the help of someone screaming for help. Hilarity ensued."

Why Cultivated Management?
Here's how I stand out from the others:
I've been a manager for a very long time. I look much younger than I am. I've read, studied and learned – and then applied this to the hard job of management.
What I've learned and actually done, is what I share with you through the site, and through my consultancy.
As a manager I started to see the side effects of implementing consistent and robust management.
Recruitment costs were less than 8%, retention was remarkably good, engagement levels were over 80% and we built the kind of culture where people would tell people how amazing it was to work there.
Heck, even people who interviewed and didn't get the job still recommended us.
As a communication science graduate and life longer learner – I always put communication at the heart of everything I do:
I joke that 99% of business problems are because of poor communication – I'm likely not far from the truth.
I studied communication science at school, A' Level and Degree (BSc) and I still study it today.
I teach an award winning communication workshop.

- The estimates of the economic impact of Brexit were "overly pessimistic," a new report has suggested.
- The Policy Exchange think tank says the models used to assess Brexit's impact were misleading.
- The report says the effect of leaving the EU on growth "while negative, will be small".
LONDON — An analysis published by the centre-right Policy Exchange group suggests that official estimates of the economic impact of Brexit were "overly pessimistic".
The report, released on Tuesday morning, says that the impact of Brexit on the UK's economy will be "much less significant" than the pessimistic predictions given by the Remain campaign and the government at the time.
Dr Graham Gudgin, Policy Exchange's new Chief Economics Adviser and the co-author of the report, said "The forecasts for the impact of Brexit on international trade undertaken by the Treasury, OECD and IMF were based on 'gravity models', which predict the amount of trade between countries based on account factors like the size of trading economies and the distance between them."
"We have replicated the Treasury's gravity model results and examined them in detail and we believe that they were overly pessimistic."
Last year the Treasury published data suggesting that Brexit would be an economic disaster, with then-Chancellor George Osborne saying that a Leave vote would cause an "immediate and profound" economic shock, and Brexit would cause a year-long recession, with the loss of more than 820,000 jobs.
In contrast to this, Gudgin said, "the Treasury and OECD estimated the average potential trade loss across all 28 EU members, and did not take into account that the UK has a very different trade relationship with the EU. In our analysis the estimated loss of UK trade is only 23%. This is consistent with the declining importance of the EU in UK trade over the last 20 years."
"The overall conclusion is that the effect of leaving the EU on economic growth, while negative, will be small, and any associated knock-on impacts will similarly not be large."
Since the vote to leave the EU inflation has risen to 2.9%, its highest since 2013, the pound has slumped and the markets have been volatile.
Negotiations for Britain's exit from the EU began on June 19. There has been a lot of debate in recent weeks about the merits for a "soft" or "hard" Brexit, with a poll finding that more Britons favour soft Brexit, prioritising free trade over cutting immigration.

Watch La Flor for free until the end of the lockdown period!
We pick up in the middle of a story about four French-speaking female spies (actresses from the Piel de Lava theatre group) as they and their hostage move towards an airstrip where, "somewhere in the eighties, somewhere in South America" they will face their opponents in 'Operation Hercules' for a final showdown at dawn. Before we reach the end of this monumental, almost six-hour, tale we go back in time to see the backstories of the four spies, and travel the world: to Brussels, where their employer Casterman (only one of the many references, here to the publishing house of Hergé's Tintin) has his base; to Berlin; to Russia; and, of course, Siberia.
Driven by Llinás' all-knowing, all-questioning voice-over, the tale is immense, hypnotic, seriously
funny, but also deeply moving, leaving the viewer finally pleasantly
confused about the plot, but strangely reborn in a belief in the power
of storytelling.

The leader of Dundee City Council has responded to an independent inquiry into mental health services in Tayside.
John Alexander has today posted a statement on Facebook, stating that the capacity of the services "needs to increase" and that there are "too many people spread too thinly".
An inquiry to examine the accessibility, safety, quality and standards of care provided by all mental health services in the region was commissioned after concerns were raised in the Scottish Parliament.
The final report, Trust and Respect, was published last week and was chaired by David Strang CBE.
Mr Alexander wrote: "Last week in a 136-page document, Dr David Strang set out the results and recommendations stemming from the independent inquiry into mental health services in Tayside.
"I spent the weekend pouring over the entirety of the document, considering it's contents and thinking about what kind of service could be provided if those 51 recommendations are adopted.
"It's vital that each word on those page is taken in. It was hard hitting, honest and to be frank, painted a deeply worrying picture of where things were.
"Mental health and it's impact on too many people is an issue very close to my heart, even closer more recently but it's also something that isn't talked about enough – between family members and friends. I spent my Sunday morning with friends and one of the things we were talking about was the battles with mental health.
"I defy anyone to find someone that doesn't have a family member, friend or someone that they work with who hasn't suffered from issues related to mental health.
"We need to continue to remove any stigma associated with it and support those who need support. There is of course, a wide spectrum and the impacts can often be unseen, sometimes until it's too late.
"There continues to be a significant number of people in crisis, at the end of their tether and struggling to manage daily life. What this report says very strongly and clearly is that people have been let down by services in Tayside. What it also says is that going forward, the services must change.
"The bottom line for me is that the capacity of those services needs to increase. There are too many people spread too thinly and too many silos that don't allow for sustained collaboration.
"The Chief Executive of NHS Tayside has, to his credit, apologised for those failings and has said that his "…personal commitment to the people of Tayside is that I will work with them to address all the recommendations made by Dr Strang in his report."
"I've already discussed the matter with officers and look forward to meeting with NHS colleagues to see what actions have already been taken forward and hear how they intent to address the 51 recommendations.
"This report has been long anticipated and whilst I think there was a general expectation that there were issues, the fact that it has done such a thorough analysis and 1,500 interviews during that process should provide the evidence base required to make some big and necessary changes."

I enrolled in this course because I have always been interested in the healthcare profession. As a kid I wanted to be a veterinarian, but after getting to college, I realized that this wasn't my true passion. After moving on from this goal, I still wanted to work on something would help people and improve their lives. A friend of mine pointed me in the direction of the research opportunities at Lehigh and I was blown away by the amazing work that people have been doing and I just knew that I wanted to be apart of this impactful program. I also enrolled in this course because I love learning through a hands on experience. You can only learn so much in a classroom about what you intend to do after college, but getting real experience through research and field work sounded like an amazing opportunity. The final reason I took this course was because I wanted to be given actual responsibility in a project that matters. Over the summer I interned for a pharmaceutical company where all they had me do was input numbers into a database. Although this is an important part of pharmaceutical process, I did not feel like I was making any impact in the grand scheme of things.
I think this course will make me a better bioengineer because, as said above, it will give me real experience for what I plan on doing after college. I think it will also shine a lot of light on the more intricate parts of what happens in the bioengineering field. For the most part, classes about bioengineering at the sophomore level are very general and do not talk about the specifics of what goes into a project like this. I think it will be interesting to see what kind of work the nitty gritty details of this project will entail. It is also one of the few courses at Lehigh that shows students what working in the real world is like. Giving students the independence to succeed or fail on their own in this type of situation is not something that is seen too often. In most cases, the professors or professional researchers give students small tasks like filing papers but in this case we have a higher level of freedom, which is both exciting and a little scary.
The lack of glasses in third world countries like Kenya is a hard problem to fix. There are a few charities that have set out to fix this problem. I found one that is addressing this problem called Eyes on Africa. Eyes on Africa, founded in 2005, is a non-profit organization that provides glasses at no cost to people in Africa with no access to eye-care specialists or products. In order to decrease cost, Eyes on Africa partnered with a sunglasses company DIFF Eyewear. The company runs a promotion that every pair of sunglasses they sell, a free pair is given to Eyes on Africa. This partnership was a smart move by Eyes on Africa, because it allowed for larger production and better distribution facilities. Since there are already many charities like this, I think the focus shouldn't be on creating a new system from the ground up, but improving the cost effectiveness of what is already in place. If cost could be brought down enough, then more people could be helped, especially because the money saved could be put towards distribution and expansion.
I think this idea can be slightly improved upon in the way that the glasses are manufactured. I think it would be a lot easier to help out people in third world countries if the glasses were made to be easily fixed and repaired. When glasses are given away for free, it is hoped that they last for a while but that is not always the case. Sometimes they break or crack and nothing can be done about it. I think the glasses should be built so that anyone can easily replace each part of the pair of glasses. With the glasses we usually use, if something breaks you have to take your glasses to a repair shop or use a somewhat expensive tool kit to fix it. If every part of the glasses are easily replaceable, then the person who buys them could fix it themselves. It could also help with glasses that are broken during transport. I think reducing the cost of the system in place is the way to solve this problem.

All-New Audi Q3 is a game-changer for entry-premium SUVs
One of the fastest-growing segments of the automotive market is the "entry-premium" SUV. Simply put, these are smaller crossovers from premium manufacturers. They're designed to be affordable as well as luxurious, and buyers like that combination.
This year, Audi is bringing in the 2019 Q3 late in the model year for a short run before the 2020 models arrive. The new Q3 replaces the first-generation Q3 with some significant improvements.
The 2019 Q3 is all-new, built on Audi's global MQB platform. The new Q3 is 3.8 inches longer than the outgoing Q3, and most of that length went between the axles to provide more space in the cabin. The new Q3 is also 0.7 inches wider and 1.5 inches taller than the old model. The result is a roomy two-row compact SUV.
The front seats are as comfortable as you expect from Audi, but the back seats are where the news is happening. The rear seats slide forward and back almost 6 inches, and they recline for excellent comfort. Depending on where you have the rear seats, you'll get between 18.7 and 23.7 cubic feet of cargo area in the back, or up to 48 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. This means the Q3 is good for carrying adults as well as children in the back, and you still have room for your things.
The Q3 comes with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The new engine is up 20 horsepower compared to last year's model, and up by 51 pound-feet of torque. The engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission and every 2019 Q3 is equipped with Audi's quattro all-wheel-drive system. That's huge news because it means you can buy the base Q3 and get the AWD you want for Portland winters.
On the dashboard, you'll find a digital driver information display and an 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment center. Audi's tech is well-developed and easy to use. The Q3 supports both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay at all trim levels. Advanced safety and driver assistance features are mostly optional, but available if you want them.
On the road, the Q3 is pleasant and right-sized for convenient driving. It's got the best balance between being big enough for comfort and utility, and small enough to handle and work well in parking lots. My only complaint is that the transmission has a tendency to rough shifts.
The bottom line on the 2019 Audi Q3 is that for the price of a decked-out economy SUV, you can upgrade to a premium brand and get comfort, performance, and a good set of features. There are good reasons why buyers are looking at entry-premium SUVs, and the all-new Audi Q3 is a great example.
2019 Audi Q3
Base price: $35,695
Price as tested: $43,895

Long term capital gains (LTCG) applies when you profit from a "capital asset", in this context meaning something that involves a long term investment, sold after a long period of time. For stocks and mutual funds, the minimum period between purchase and sale is 1 year. For property or most other asset types it is three years. (If you buy and sell within this period, SHORT term capital gains applies, that's a different concept.)
The government had decided that it will reward you for making long term investments, so tax on long term gains is generally lower than the . . .

Well, what to say about this? Readers of traditional Regency romances are presumably looking for one of three things: a splendid, emotional romance with a full measure of feels; a good sense of a historical time and place, to take them back into the past; or a story full of the richness of language as it was in the past. Sadly, this book fails on all counts. The romance is bone dry and passionless, the history is a mixture of details looked up on Wikipedia and absolute howlers, and the writing is so stilted and repetitive as to be almost funny. I'd like a pound for every time a character said "In truth".
The premise isn't original but it's a promising one, full of possibilities. Georgette Darrington is left destitute and homeless when her father dies, forced to take a position as a governess. Her father, apparently, is a 'minor baron', whatever that is (a baron is a baron, the only distinction is in the date of creation), but there are no other relations (presumably the barony becomes extinct) to call upon for aid, and Georgette, who lives in London and mingles with society, seemingly hasn't a single friend able to help, either. So she goes to an employment agency to find a job. This all seems highly unlikely. Even supposing she has no suitors willing to marry her at a moment's notice, she would almost certainly find work as a governess through the grapevine, not through a servants' registry, which would have specialised in housemaids and the like. I also wondered why her noble father didn't have a country estate, as was normal for peers and gentry of the day. But never mind.
So the first job offered is with a duke – well, of course it is! And with no references, no letter of recommendation and no attempt by the agency or the duke himself to ascertain whether our heroine is remotely suitable for the job, she starts work. Her pupils are the duke's twin nieces, four years old, who previously lived in Wales and so speak Welsh, and have a Welsh accent. The duke has given only one instruction for the governess – the girls are to be taught only English, and their Welsh accent eradicated. So our heroine promptly starts learning Welsh and encouraging them to use Welsh at every turn so they won't lose their culture. Of course she does.
This is what comes of imposing modern values on historical fiction. In the Regency, ethnic and regional culture just wasn't a thing. In Britain, regional accents weren't even tolerated in public life until the Beatles came along in the 1960s. If you had any pretensions to status, you spoke with received pronunciation or you took elocution lessons until you did. Anyone who talked differently from what was expected of their class was ostracised and laughed at. So the duke was absolutely right to want to suppress that Welsh accent, because those girls would have been ridiculed for it. Of course, since they were only four, they would lose it pretty quickly anyway if they were surrounded by English accents, so there was no need to do anything about it. It's a pity this theme wasn't developed in a true Regency manner, because it's an interesting and unusual one. I'd like to see what an author with a better grounding in the era could have done with it.
There are any number of other instances that demonstrate that the author has done some research, but doesn't have a real feel for the era. She looked up how often the horses needed to be changed when travelling, for instance, but then conflates a post-chaise with a mail coach, so our heroine arrives at the ducal home in a post-chaise that also delivers the mail, with a 'driver' (a mail coach has a coachman and a post-chaise has postilions). She's aware that a governess is neither servant nor family, and might eat meals in her room, but in a household of that size she would have had her own sitting room (as would the housekeeper) and the use of a personal servant to help her dress and bathe. Footmen served tea, not maids. There was no afternoon tea in the Regency era, and luncheon (or nuncheon) was a new-fangled idea that hadn't quite caught on. Bridge wasn't invented until 1896. Regency folks played whist, or piquet, or vingt-et-un, or faro, or cribbage.
The servants are pretty horrible to Georgette, for reasons which were never made clear. Why on earth were the butler, housekeeper and head nurse so determined to be unpleasant? Her washing water is stone cold, her food is inedible and she's left to get lost in the rabbit warren of servants' quarters. There's no sensible reason for this. Even a senior servant could lose their position if complaints are lodged against them, so they wouldn't risk it, and there's absolutely nothing to gain by antagonising the new governess.
Another illogicality lies with the duke. He doesn't want the twins around and their accent and use of Welsh upsets him, so why not find another home for them? Maybe a female relative living not too far away, who actually likes the girls? Well, stone me, the duke has an aunt who would love to look after the girls, but no, he has to be a martyr and make everyone miserable.
The duke is the only character who has a bit of depth to him. He blows hot and cold, and one minute he's ticking Georgette off, and the next he's sharing intimacies and hugs with her in a fairly inappropriate way, but at least he's not saccharine-sweet, like Georgette, the aunt and the twins, nor is he outright villainous, like the servants. As for the romance, there's no insight into the main characters' feelings so the blossoming into love at the end feels abrupt and not very believable. There's no passion and no real emotion, either, but it's perfectly clean, for those who prefer that.
All in all, there are the glimmerings of a good story here, but the execution is flat, without an ounce of sparkle or humour, and very little feel for the Regency era. Two stars for having virtually no typos, getting the titles mostly right (hallelujah!) and an original theme in the children's language issue, but I can't really recommend this otherwise.

In today's global society we continue to see an increase of violence, rampant shootings, riots, tumultuous weather patterns, racial strife, instability in North Korea, chaos in Syria and the Middle East, Russia's re-emergence, and wars and rumors of wars (Matt. 24:3-14).
How are we to respond in these perilous times? (2 Tim. 3:1). These events leave us with a simple choice that we must make. This one question must be answered: Will we respond in fear or faith?
In a time of confusion, strife and fierce anti-Semitism, the stateswoman Corrie Ten Boom declared, "There is no panic in heaven! God has no problems, only plans."
If the church is pushing the panic button instead of faith, trust, prayer and confidence toward God, what do we expect the world to look like? Rather, we must create a culture of faith instead of fear!

What Time Is It?
Many of us are aware that Jesus only did what He saw the Father doing (John 5:19). Like Jesus, we must also be about our Father's business (see Luke 2:49). Not only are we to be tuned into doing what He does, but we must get synced into His timetable and do what He wants when He wants it done. As a result, we must periodically ask ourselves the pertinent and strategic question, "What time is it?"
To be able to discern the times and the seasons and give wisdom application for the days in which we live (2 Chr. 12:32), we must learn to recognize, honor and build upon the various historical birthings of the Holy Spirit in our midst. We are not to despise the day of a small beginning (Zech. 4:10).
Some Demarcations in the Calendar of God
—20 years ago, Promise Keepers hosted the Million Man March in Washington, D.C. God remembers that time of holy consecration and will answer with a turnaround in the Supreme Court of the U.S.
—20 years ago, Women on the Frontlines was birthed in Nashville, Tennessee. Today there is a godly "global women's movement" that will confront the global sex trade industry.
—50 years ago, the charismatic renewal in the Christian churches was birthed. This is one of the largest and most impactful movements in all of church history. Another wave is coming!
—50 years ago, the Jesus People Movement was birthed on the West Coast of the United States. A remnant of that very movement is now emerging as leaders in the new apostolic era.
—50 years ago, the Messianic Movement was birthed, with thousands of Jewish people finding Jesus as their Messiah. What will come next?
—50 years ago, as a result of the Six-Day War, Jerusalem became a united city under Jewish governing rule. This is one of the greatest a modern-day miracles fulfilling biblical prophecy.
—500 years ago was the beginning of the Great Reformation, when Martin Luther nailed the 95 theses on the wooden door of the church in Wittenberg, Germany. We are now crossing over into the beginning of a great transformation.
A Prophetic Encounter
On Sept. 30, 2017, on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, I had a prophetic encounter in the middle of the night. While asleep in my home, an electric burst of energy hit my body. Though this power surge lasted but a moment, it resulted in a manifestation of the voice of God bursting forth within me.
I was awakened hearing myself prophesy, "The days of acceleration: It's the beginning of the days of acceleration!" Yes, I was awakened! Indeed, I was walking through another prophetic parable for the body of Christ.
What time is it? It is the beginning of the days of acceleration where the purposes of God are sped up. It is time for an awakening of the power and the voice of God. It is time for a global awakening.
How Should We Respond?
In these turbulent times, what must we do? How should we live? Are we going to be casualties on the battlefield or warriors enforcing the victory of Calvary? The choice is ours! We must act in the opposite spirit of the world and cultivate the culture of faith instead of fear. Consider these two simple applications:
Put on the Full Armor of God!
Paul wrote to the members of the church in Ephesus, "Put on the whole armor of God" (Eph. 6:11a). His advice applies to every member of the body of Christ; that means each one of us must wear every piece of spiritual armor daily (Eph. 6:14-18.)
As an important part of that full armor, well-equipped Christians carry a "shield of faith." With the shield of faith, we can extinguish the fiery arrows of the evil one and shield our fellow soldiers (Eph. 6:16). We must take it up and use it. But let's not just have a defensive mindset; let's have the mindset of an overcomer.
Shine as Lights in the Midst of Darkness.
Matthew 5:14 records the words of Jesus where He said to His disciples, "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden."
John 8:12 states, "Again, Jesus spoke to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.'"
Light always overcomes darkness. Indeed, Jesus is the light. It is then our responsibility to be carriers of His penetrating light into the world, manifesting His brilliant presence into all the spheres of society today.
Yes, it's time for the days of acceleration. It's time for a new Jesus People Movement to emerge. It's time for the Feast of Tabernacles to be fulfilled. It's time for an end-times harvest of souls. It's time for a global awakening to manifest. It's time for a fresh power surge to hit the body of Christ. It's time for the Lamb of God to receive the rewards of His suffering. It's time for a global worship movement to proceed where the Spirit and the bride declare, "Even so, come, Lord Jesus!" (Rev. 22:20b, NKJV).
Perhaps He is coming in an unprecedented outpouring of His presence to us before He comes for us. In the midst of these turbulent times, let faith arise within you and shine forth with the light of God into the world around you.

Purchased Myself
I am very excited about this Too Faced Cat Eyes Makeup Wars post! We will be showing you our looks we have all created using this one palette. You can now see how Too Faced Cat Eyes palette can look on all sorts of different people!
This is the look that I created!
How to Get The Look
1– After applying your favorite eye primer and a white base (this is optional but these light colors show up better for me with the white base) blend together Purr and Kitten. Place Purr on half you eyelid from the inner corner. Kitten goes from the middle of your eyelid to the outer corner.
2– Put Pussy Cat in your crease. Use a thinner eyeshadow brush to draw out your crease then use a fluffy brush to blend away.
3– Take Jungle Love and use it to make an outer V. Use and angled eyeshadow brush to help make the shape and then use the fluffy brush to blend it in.
4– With a eyeliner brush dip it in water or your favorite foiling product and use Jungle Love on half of your lower eyelid.
5– After, use Meow as a highlighter on your brow bone.
6– Add a thick winged eyeliner and mascara and you are done!
Pictured above from left to right:
Purr- This is a beige color with some glitter.
Meow– This is a matte beige, I like this one for highlighting because I don't usually like glitter on my brow bone.
Kitten– This is a soft pink with hints of shimmer.
Tiger's Eye– A very pretty glittery tan.
Pussy Cat– Another very pretty glittery light purple.
Kitty Glitter– A almost sheer glitter shadow.
Leopard– A sparkly brown, but not a dark brown.
Jungle Love– A dark purple, it looks more purple when wet than it does dry.
Panther– A matte black.

Ibares Frías, Lucía Gallego Muñoz, Patricia Cantalapiedra Rodríguez, Roberto Merayo Lloves, Jesús Martínez García, María del Carmen Córnea - Cirugía Producción Científica The aim was to evaluate the reversibility of the clinical and histological changes induced in the corneas of an animal model after removing an intracorneal ring segment (ICRS).Surgery for this study was performed in 38 eyes of an experimental animal model (Gallus domesticus) for ICRS surgery (Ferrara technique). The animals without complications were randomized to two groups; in all of them, 1 segment was implanted in each eye and later removed at different times (1 and 3 months after implantation). In each group, after explantation, corneas were processed at different times for histological analysis with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stain and electronic microscopy. The refractive state of the eyes was also measured.In corneas without complications (88.23%), explantation was performed correctly. During the first few days, around the area where the ICRS was implanted we observed deposits of cells and a moderate degree of corneal opacity (haze). These signs decreased progressively without disappearing completely. Histologically, at 7 days, we observed hyperplasia and abnormal arrangement of collagen fibers. Later, these findings also decreased in both groups, albeit at a faster rate in group 1. Minimal changes were observed in electron microscopy up to the end of the study in both groups. Preoperative refractive state was achieved at 1 month after explantation in both groups.ICRS can safely be explanted from the cornea. Refractive reversibility was achieved at 1 month after explantation. However, the clinical and histological findings after ICRS explantation depend on the time from implantation to explantation. 2017-01-12T13:32:12Z 2017-01-12T13:32:12Z 2016 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Current eye Research ,(2016); 41(9):1192-1201 0271-3683 http://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/22097 10.3109/02713683.2015.1114652 1192 9 1201 Current eye Research 41 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Taylor & Francis

We present our approach to extend a Virtual Reality software framework towards the use for Augmented Reality applications. Although VR and AR applications have very similar requirements in terms of abstract components (like 6DOF input, stereoscopic output, simulation engines), the requirements in terms of hardware and software vary considerably. In this article we would like to share the experience gained from adapting our VR software framework for AR applications. We will address design issues for this task. The result is a VR/AR basic software that allows us to implement interactive applications without fixing their type (VR or AR) beforehand. Switching from VR to AR is a matter of changing the configuration file of the application.
Most Virtual Reality (VR) applications use rendering methods which implement local illumination models, simulating only direct interaction of light with 3D objects. They do not take into account the energy exchange between the objects themselves, making the resulting images look non-optimal. The main reason for this is the simulation of global illumination having a high computational complexity, decreasing the frame rate extremely. As a result this makes for example user interaction quite challenging. One way to decrease the time of image generation using rendering methods which implement global illumination models is to involve additional compute nodes in the process of image creation, distribute the rendering subtasks among these and then collate the results of the subtasks into a single image. Such a strategy is called distributed rendering. In this paper we introduce a software interface which gives a recommendation how the distributed rendering approach may be integrated into VR frameworks to achieve lower generation time of high quality, realistic images. The interface describes a client-server architecture which realizes the communication between visualization and compute nodes including data and rendering subtask distribution and may be used for the implementation of different load-balancing methods. We show an example of the implementation of the proposed interface in the context of realistic rendering of buildings for decisions on interior options.
Ray Tracing, accurate physical simulations with collision detection, particle systems and spatial audio rendering are only a few components that become more and more interesting for Virtual Environments due to the steadily increasing computing power. Many components use geometric queries for their calculations. To speed up those queries spatial data structures are used. These data structures are mostly implemented for every problem individually resulting in many individually maintained parts, unnecessary memory consumption and waste of computing power to maintain all the individual data structures. We propose a design for a centralized spatial data structure that can be used everywhere within the system.
We present an interactive system that uses ray tracing as a rendering technique. The system consists of a modular Virtual Reality framework and a cluster-based ray tracing rendering extension running on a number of Cell Broadband Engine-based servers. The VR framework allows for loading rendering plugins at runtime. By using this combination it is possible to simulate interactively effects from geometric optics, like correct reflections and refractions.
We present a system for interactive magnetic field simulation in an AR-setup. The aim of this work is to investigate how AR technology can help to develop a better understanding of the concept of fields and field lines and their relationship to the magnetic forces in typical school experiments. The haptic feedback is provided by real magnets that are optically tracked. In a stereo video see-through head-mounted display, the magnets are augmented with the dynamically computed field lines.
We present a Virtual Reality application enabling interactive, physically correct simulation of tube-like flexible objects. Our objective was to describe flexible objects by a set of parameters (length, diameter and material constants) instead of rigid geometry (triangle meshes) and to give the user the possibility to add, delete and manipulate those flexible objects in a stereo projected environment in real-time.
Extending an Existing VR Software Framework to support AR Applications - With an Example from Physics Classes (2012)
We present our approach to extend a Virtual Reality software framework towards the use for Augmented Reality applications. Although VR and AR applications have very similar requirements in terms of abstract components (like 6DOF input, stereoscopic output, simulation engines), the requirements in terms of hardware and software vary considerably. In this article we would like to share the experience gained from adapting our VR software framework for AR applications. We will address design issues for this task. The result is a VR/AR basic software that allows us to implement interactive applications without fixing their type (VR or AR) beforehand. Switching from VR to AR is a matter of changing the configuration file of the application. We also give an example of the use of the extended framework: Augmenting the magnetic field of bar magnets in physics classes. We describe the setup of the system and the real-time calculation of the magnetic field, using a GPU.
This paper describes the work done at our Lab to improve visual and other quality of Virtual Environments. To be able to achieve better quality we built a new Virtual Environments framework called basho. basho is a renderer independent VE framework. Although renderers are not limited to graphics renderers we first concentrated on improving visual quality. Independence is gained from designing basho to have a small kernel and several plug-ins.
Todays Virtual Environment frameworks use scene graphs to represent virtual worlds. We believe that this is a proper technical approach, but a VE framework should try to model its application area as accurate as possible. Therefore a scene graph is not the best way to represent a virtual world. In this paper we present an easily extensible model to describe entities in the virtual world. Further on we show how this model drives the design of our VE framework and how it is integrated.
We present basho, a light weight and easily extendable virtual environment (VE) framework. Key benefits of this framework are independence of the scene element representation and the rendering API. The main goal was to make VE applications flexible without the need to change them, not only by being independent from input and output devices. As an example, with basho it is possible to switch from local illumination models to ray tracing by just replacing the renderer. Or to replace the graphical representation of the scene elements without the need to change the application. Furthermore it is possible to mix rendering technologies within a scene. This paper emphasises on the abstraction of the scene element representation.
Most VE-frameworks try to support many different input and output devices. They do not concentrate so much on the rendering because this is tradi- tionally done by graphics workstation. In this short paper we present a modern VE framework that has a small kernel and is able to use different renderers. This includes sound renderers, physics renderers and software based graphics renderers. While our VE framework, named basho is still under development we have an alpha version running under Linux and MacOS X.

As women, we have been encouraged to embrace our stretch marks, to call them our "tiger stripes" and let them be a reminder of how strong we are and what we have been through.
While that works for some women, others would like to be strong minus the visual reminders. For those of us who would rather see marks disappear, there are a number of natural remedies for stretch marks that you can do in the comfort of your own home.
Roll stretch marks away with a Derma Roller
At first, the idea of using a Derma Roller can be intimidating due to the hundreds of microscopic needles used to puncture the skin to induce collagen production. Those who have used this method say it doesn't hurt, and that they have had amazing results.
The Derma Roller depends on the skins natural healing ability, as the tiny needles create puncture wounds causing the skin works to heal itself, scar free. This video explains the process for stretch mark reduction and other uses for the roller in greater detail.
Banish marks with potatoes
It seems as though the uses for a potato are endless, from delicious sides to stretch mark reduction. Antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, and starches found in a potato work together to encourage healthy skin regrowth.
Free radicals in our skin lead to damaged skin and cell death. WebMD describes free radicals as "once-healthy oxygen molecules that are now overactive and unstable. Free radicals damage cells, leading to, among other things, premature wrinkles".
The antioxidants in a potato act to destroy the free radicals and allow the molecules necessary for healthy skin to have a chance to make a comeback.
Not just for sunburn, repair skin with Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is another natural source of vitamins that do wonders to moisturize and heal skin. And because it is all natural and has no negative side effects, it is impossible to use this gel like substance.
Consumer Health Digest points out that Aloe Vera is an anti-inflammatory which can help restore damaged skin, potentially reducing the appearance of stretch marks.
Restore healthy skin with Rose Hip Seed Oil
Full of fatty acids and vitamin C, Rose Hip Seed Oil is easily absorbed into the skin and can help to reduce discoloration resulting from stretch marks. It is even thought to stimulate your skin's regenerative abilities, helping it to heal scarring.
Although an oil, Rosehip Seed Oil is very light and won't leave the skin oily or clog pores. Livestong.com suggests using Rosehip Seed Oil as a carrier oil for other skin soothing essential oils such as neroli, lavender, lemongrass and frankincense oils.
Bleach and heal stretch marks with Lemon Juice
Lemon juice helps the growth of cells due to it's Vitamin C content. Vitamin C is an absorpic acid, which means that it helps the body produce collagen. Nearly 30% of the protein in the body is made up of collagen, which assist in helping cells grow and helps the skin to stay strong and firm.
Lemon is also a bleaching agent, which will assist in reducing the red or purple tint that often accompany stretch marks. While lemon juice may take a while to show results, it really does work.
So the results are up to you. If you remain diligent with applying lemon juice to your stretch marks, you will see results.
Make a soothing Coco Shea Butter DIY cream
Shea butter, when combined with Vitamin E oil creates a stretch mark fighting combination that is hard to match. Loaded with antioxidants and natural moisturizers, free radicals have no chance at continuing to harm your skin.
Utilize this simple recipe from Wellness Mama to help prevent further cell damage and to rejuvenate previously damaged cells.
Help fight scars and restore elasticity with Castor Oil
Castor oil is a fantastic choice for your fight against stretch marks as it not only stimulates collagen production, but elastin. Elastin is the protein that allows your skin to stretch, like elastic, and returning the property to stretched out skin will help it to achieve it's previous tight state.
Good Health Academy recommends adding a small amount of almond oil to pure castor oil and massaging it into affected areas. Then, wrap the area in a cotton cloth and leave it on for 10-20 minutes to allow the benefits to be fully absorbed.
They also mention that adding a heating pad to the area can help to speed up the healing process. Castor oil is a fantastic addition to any wellness routine, as it's healing properties extend well beyond stretch marks, to acne, sunburn, dry skin, some infections and even ring worm!
The incredible, stretch mark reducing egg
Egg whites contain Amino Acids, and when applied to the skin those Amino Acids will soak in, and help the skin heal and again have a youthful appearance. The best way to apply egg whites to the affected skin is to use at least 2 organic egg whites, and whip them with a fork until they are foamy.
Spread the foam on your skin and leave it be for a few minutes, or until dry. Wiki.how recommends using a makeup brush or a sponge for application. Gently remove the eggs and utilize one of the stretch mark remedies that is a moisturizer afterwards.
Scrub away stretch marks with a Sugar Scrub DIY
Sugar scrub is a luxurious bath product you can make at home, and use all over your body! Besides the natural consistency of sugar, the glycolic acid found in sugar will help to break down and remove dead skin cells, which will encourage the growth of healthy, new skin.
This is a great time to use a combination of stretch mark blasting ingredients, with a sugar scrub recipe by A Pumpkin and a Princess that also includes lemon. Keep in your bath and use several times a week to see a reduction in stretch marks!
Gelatin, better than Botox?
Gelatin has several health benefits from joints to hair, nails, and digestion. The catch is that will collagen, it must be consumed to be helpful as collagen molecules are too large to be absorbed by the skin.
Gelatin is vitamin and nutrient dense, and basically collagen in powder form. The collagen boost to our bodies will assist in repairing cells that transport water and other necessary nutrients to the skin. When these cells are healthy and able to properly do their job, skin is repaired and renewed.
There is really no way to go wrong with an addition of gelatin in your diet. It is important to know that many of the desert aisle "gelatin" products are not real gelatin, but a gelatin replacement. To get real gelatin, look to things like homemade bone broth or gelatin supplements.
Are You Ready to Get Rid of Those Stretch Marks?
When you have decided to take back your skin and utilize one of these home remedies for stretch marks, pick the remedy that looks like something that will work for you, and one that you will easily stick with.
Several of the items, like potatoes and lemon juice you may already have in your kitchen. If you have decided to try something you will have to order in, like the Derma Roller, go ahead and start with something you can use today. Also remember that it is possible to do more than one technique at once!
Maybe you could try lemons, and once you wash the juice off you could moisturize with Rose Hip Seed Oil. Whatever you do, stay diligent and remember that you didn't get your stretch marks overnight.
It will take time and patience, but with the right ingredients and the tips you picked up here, your skin can make a recovery.

Rep. Steve Cohen sent out his email to constituents outlining what he's done for us last week.
Most Americans would be a little embarrassed by this list, but not our 9th district rep! He boasted:
"This week, I spoke with FOX News Channel's Bill O'Reilly about my bill to help bring sanity to our nation's marijuana policy, hosted a telephone town hall with nearly 4,000 Ninth District citizens, and helped break ground at the Hampline. Keep reading to find out what else happened this week."
First, it's a typical Democrat trick to present a failure as a success. O'Reilly and then following, Dennis Miller, made fun of Cohen. Steve chose not to see it that way.
As for the telephone town hall, that's only because he got scared by the Tea Party and stopped meeting with Memphians in person. I guess you can control your audience much more easily the old Alexander Graham Bell way. Click and you can hang up and no troublesome question will make it through.
I like the Greenline, but is helping to break ground on the Hampline an achievement? Shouldn't that be left to local government? He explains: "… the Hampline… will make our city more livable and sustainable and give Memphians more opportunities to explore the city on foot or bike. As you may know, Memphis was recently named America's Most Improved Bike City by Bicycling Magazine, and projects like the Hampline — spearheaded by Mayor A C Wharton — will help the city take another step towards being one of the nation's best cities for cyclists."
That's all very nice, but I'd much rather see us get an award for best business climate, higher employment, financial desirability; you know that kind of dull thing that means the city is function and not just sustaining itself.
He then touts his efforts to "fight for a sane marijuana policy." It's some of the same effort he tried to express on the O'Reilly Factor but got laughed off the stage. "Nobody dies from marijuana, but people die from heroin overdoses every day," Cohen writes. "There is a cultural lag in this country, and Congress and this Administration must fix it." He might want to ask some of the judges and families of abusers what they think about that conclusion.
After that, Cohen goes on to explain, "This week, I joined my friend Priscilla Presley and my colleague Congressman Ed Whitfield to discuss efforts to protect all horses from the abusive training method called 'soring.'" Evidently a little name dropping makes him a better congressman, eh? Is soring one of the major problems afflicting the U.S. and Shelby County? Really?
He continues, going back to Obamacare as the best thing ever. "Among the many benefits of the Affordable Care Act is free preventive care for services like mammograms that can detect breast cancer. A New York Times story noted that Memphis is 'the deadliest major American city for African-American women with breast cancer.'" Again, are you impressed by the NYT? I'm not. How often have they been right about anything? Also, there is no certainty that Memphis women will go get the mammograms, even when they're free. We already have vehicles that go around town offering free mammograms from time to time. What was wrong with that? They are probably more effective, going directly into neighborhoods, than free tests at the doctor's office.
What about the people who have had their good insurance policies canceled because of Obamacare? Guess they don't matter to Cohen.
The other accomplishments Cohen lists include "Building Ladders of Opportunity for Boys and Young Men of Color;" "Fully Funding the HOPE Scholarships;" "Ensuring Memphians Get the Tax Returns They Deserve;" "Recognizing the Monuments Men" and the always popular "Grant Announcements."
All this is penny-ante stuff. How about working in Congress to get a decent budget? Working on whittling down the number of unemployed? Seeing to the defense of the country? Diminishing the national debt? Getting a decent energy policy? How about strengthening and protecting our power grid?
The last one would be particularly helpful in Memphis, given we just experienced another storm that crippled our city.
Guess that doesn't have the glamor of Priscilla Presley or the New York Times.

Day 16 of #photo101 focus on close ups.
Often, our goal is to capture as much of the scene as we can. Zooming in (or focusing on) a particular detail can produce a beautiful image and help you tell a more interesting story.
Instead of just taking the photo as a whole, try to zoom into the subject and to see if it gives a difference perspective.
I try to zoomed into the books. Making the books the focus. I like this shot because the in and out of the books edges make a line in the drawing.
Unlike the usually way of taking a plate of salad as a whole. I have the focus on the green. I love greens, I also love the color green!

Achieving the goal of the Paris climate agreement means the global economy needs to have net zero carbon emissions by around mid-century. That means a radical transformation of our food, energy and transport systems. What are our chances of getting there?
Climate change was hard to miss in 2019. Alongside the global climate strike and the United Nations Climate Action Summit in September, there was a swathe of commitments by countries and companies to a net zero carbon pathway. The UK, France and Sweden are now among the countries that have set themselves this objective. Meanwhile, big corporate names like Amazon.com, Daimler and Duke Energy — one of the largest electricity companies in the U.S. — trumpeted their own net zero carbon commitments.
What does net zero mean? Simply put, stabilizing global average temperatures at any level means net manmade greenhouse gas emissions have to come down to zero, with any emissions offset by removing carbon. The earlier that happens, the lower the ultimate rise in temperatures. According to the scientists at the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, getting to net zero by 2070 should limit the rise to 2 degrees Celsius, but for the more ambitious 1.5 degree target, the world would need to be carbon-neutral by 2050. Busting the carbon budget will mean higher and sharper temperature rises, and more extreme physical impacts on people and the planet.
Annual renewable growth required to meet net zero emissions (Gw)
Source: UBSe as at September 2019
The pathway to net zero is perhaps easiest to see in the electricity generation sector. Alternatives to coal and gas generation exist, and while in the past they relied on subsidies, the cost reductions in renewable technologies have been so dramatic that they are often the most economical option even with no subsidy at all. The UK's latest offshore wind auction saw some prices drop under the £40/MWh (megawatt hour) level — less than half the price that has been promised for energy from the country's latest new nuclear plant.
Renewable energy already makes up almost three-quarters of net new electricity capacity globally every year, but that investment will have to scale up again to fully decarbonize the sector. Around 200GW (gigawatt) is currently being installed annually, but that's likely to need to rise to 500-600GW to get to net zero by 2050. Intermittency also has to be tackled, through some combination of using diverse sources of renewables, energy storage, and zero-carbon baseload power like nuclear energy.
Solving the electricity part of the carbon equation looks possible, then. But electricity counts for only around a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions, and decarbonizing other activities looks considerably trickier. Transportation is at a much earlier stage of the journey. Electric vehicles (EVs) make up well under one percent of the car passenger fleet, and there remains a lot to be done on affordability and installing charging infrastructure — some of which is going to require public sector investment. Mass uptake of EVs will also put extra pressure on the electricity sector, upping the need for even more zero carbon sources.
Our reliance on natural gas for heating and cooking will also need to change, and while there are plenty of solutions around, retrofitting these to the existing housing stock is a daunting task. Some headway is being made on emissions from the production of materials such as steel, with ArcelorMittal confident enough that solutions will be found that they have committed to being carbon neutral by 2050 for their European business. Perhaps the hardest challenges are in food production — making up only 15% of global emissions, but with limited solutions in sight. The shift to nonmeat proteins would need to accelerate markedly to make a dent.
What about taking carbon out of the atmosphere, or so-called "negative emissions?" Pretty much every analysis of how we get to a net zero carbon world assumes some form of carbon capture and storage. Again, the problem is scale. A mass afforestation program would make a big impact, but with a growing global population to feed, land use pressures will put limits on this approach.
A range of technological solutions are also being developed, some more tried and tested than others. Systems that would strip carbon dioxide from coal or gas plants and bury it have been shown to work in pilot schemes, though they face challenges with cost and public acceptability.
The pace of change in the past decade, and even the past couple of years, has been huge, with some bold corporate and government commitments helping to provide the confidence to invest in innovations. Will the world reach net zero or will we bust the budget? Either way, there are big changes ahead to our energy systems and lifestyles.
Episode 94: Every fall, BMO brings together investment strategists, economists, and leaders from across the industry to develop a medium-term outlook on the global markets. With topics ranging from decarbonization and climate change to globalization and the risk of a U.S. recession, the Global Investment Forum helps paint a comprehensive picture of what may drive your clients' portfolios in the years ahead.
Fears of a U.S. recession are widespread. These worries have been fed by the inverted Treasury bond yield curve – a reliable predictor of recessions in the past. Trade tensions increase the risks.
Selling massive volumes of high-value cars across the world has been one of the foundations of Germany's economic strength in recent decades. But as the structural switch to electric gets under way, this highly successful model faces severe challenges.
With interest rates at rock bottom and the impact of financial asset purchasing programs apparently waning, central banks are running out of monetary policy options for tackling the next global economic slowdown.
The UK's departure from the European Union will undoubtedly be a seismic event for the country. While the hit to growth of a no-deal outcome is potentially very serious, we at least see a dynamic UK service sector continuing to reach out successfully around the world.
Globalization has fueled the strong growth in the world economy over the last quarter-century. But the pendulum now appears to be swinging against it.

I 'm extremely annoyed with you when I knew our time was limited.
But, every word that was coming out of your mouth was driving me a little crazy and I couldn't shake the feeling that I was going to snap at you soon.
So I just walked away and made an excuse that I needed to get some fresh air and would see you later.
The timing was just right as I walked outside the fresh air the bright sky and I could breath again and I knew I could and would be okay when I walked back through that door.
