U.S. 176 extends 19.2 miles north into the Tar Heel State from the South Carolina state line near Tryon to Hendersonville. The rural highway takes a winding course into the Saluda Mountains, traveling through town of Saluda between Cedar Mountain and Blakes Peak. Turning north by Lake Summit, U.S. 176 meets U.S. 25 at East Flat Rock and Tennessee Valley.
U.S. 25 Business combines with U.S. 176 northward from an interchange with the U.S. 25 freeway linking with Interstate 26. The two routes overlap to N.C. 225 (Greenville Highway) in Hendersonville. U.S. 176 ends there while U.S. 25 Business (Main Street) continues north to U.S. 64 and Downtown Hendersonville.

Is it about how well we look after our skin, or is it down to our genetic inheritance?
It's well know that darker skin types offer more protection from the harmful effects of sunlight, and therefore age related changes such as wrinkles can occur at a slower rate in these lucky individuals.
However Olay carried out a study which shows that how you look after your skin and therefore factors within our control have far more importance as you get older, compared to any genetic influences.
Unsurprisingly the biggest factors were found to be sun exposure, smoking, and dry or dehydrated skin.
Here are a few things you can do to help prevent wrinkle formation and maintain those youthful looks;
- Moisturising with hyaluronic acid which is your skin's natural moisturiser will help to form a barrier over your skin and prevent water loss. That's how the skin stays hydrated and this is particularly important at nighttime when water loss is at its peak.
- We all know that eating plenty of fruit and vegetables, which are full of antioxidants, is an important source of nutrition for your skin. But applying an antioxidant serum eg one containing vitamin C, directly onto your face is even more effective in terms of protecting and repairing your skin from the damaging effects of UV light.
- Using SPF every single day is the secret to ageless beauty. Ideally you should use a seperate SPF cream from your regular moisturiser, particularly in the summer months. A minimum of SPF 15-30 is recommended and the key is to remember to use it everyday, even when cloudy, because it's the day to day UV exposure that causes over 80% of visible skin ageing.The iS Clinical Extreme Protect SPF 30 which is available to purchase at Cosmetic Doctor Clinic, is a lightweight moisturiser containing SPF 30 as well as essential anti-ageing ingredients such as vitamin E and DNA repairing enzymes.This is a great option for those who have limited time in the mornings and need a quick skincare routine.
- For those who have more time to spend on their skincare routine, one of our best products is the iS Clinical Super Serum Advance containing a potent blend of vitamin C. This gentle and lightweight formula can be applied under make up and SPF, and we receive consistently great feedback for its effectiveness at treating pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles. It's worked wonders for my skin and is well worth the investment.

Press Release:
Following the ad hoc
announcement of Leica Camera AG, Solms, of February 17, 2005, stating
that the Company expects a loss of half of its registered share capital

The remaining lines still cover the current liquidity requirements. The

Extraordinary General Meeting on May 31, 2005, at which capital
measures are to be proposed to the shareholders.

This is sort of why I think it's just a matter of time until "cameras"
and "photography" as we know it will be largely subsumed by the
electronics "mixmaster" process that's underway: the snapshot will be
replaced by the frame-grab; prints will largely be supplanted by
flexible electronic displays; news photos will largely be ENG frame
grabs (some of that is happening already). A lot of working still
photographers are going find out what being a "niche" group is all
about, assuming some of them (largely PJs for the moment) don't already
know. - Barrett
have to admit, that up until a year ago, I thought that I was going to
be in the darkroom / film niche and would be one of the guardians of a
lost art. And those guardians would hold the secrets and
pass them along to their disciples. Another potential guardian
bites the dust. What a world. Is it possible, as you
suggest that the digital display will replace the print?
Maybe. I can't see what collectors would do with it. Would
there be digital limited edition files? I know that Bill Gates
has these things all over his house; presses a few buttons and the
display(s) change. I suppose that if there was a global protocal,
you could give gift packs of files for Christmas. Do they just
stay on all day, glowing away? Do you turn them on and off like a
monitor? I remember predictions about the newspaper and the book
going away - but it hasn't happened yet.
Window Dresser
One second after I took this shot, she came out and told me that I
wasn't allowed to take pictures of the windows. I asked her, why
not? She repeated that the window could not be
photographed. Not allowed.
I said, no problem and wandered away. Of course, she is
right. I don't think that you are actually allowed to take
pictures of anything unless it belongs to you, and even then - not if
it shows a brand name. The only thing that I can think of that
you are allowed to photograph is the sky, though not if there are any
planes flying by in it which might be recognizable, and not if the
air-space is owned by any municipality. You can, however, still
take photographs of yourself, so long as you get a model release from
yourself in case you change your mind in the future.
Feb. is the cruelest month (not April). Print sales always fall
to a trickle in February. This month has been no exception. I
look back over the last five years in
Quickbooks and see that February is always slump time. Maybe that's why
the marketing gurus invented the President's Day sale; and anyway,
President's Day is a made up holiday.
Photographer's Day. That's what we need in February. Or if you want to widen it, how about Artist Day.
I'm looking for the birth date of a prominent
photographer that we could build this holiday around. I would
look up his birthday but the cat is asleep on my lap and I don't want
to disturb him, so I'll just suffice with a quote from Ansel that I
found looking for his birthday:
I think you could push Artist Day in Europe, but not in America.
Artists these days, in whatever field, are both looked up to, idolized,
and seen as somewhat degenerate. That last is what we like about
them. The ones that go out in a drug-induced blaze are our
favorites; especially if they go before they get old. Look, we
don't want to see visions of ourselves: boring. We want to
partake in the fantasy of unlimited sex, drugs, and pampering. In
fact, the most popular show in America is geared towards vaulting the
regular citizen into this celestial arena.
you think these ladies and gentlemen at the top are happy to be
there? They don't seem to be. After struggling to hit the
heights, what do they want: privacy.
When, by a decree of the sovereign power,
The poor poet makes his appearance in a bored world,
With fists clenched at the horror, his outraged mother
Calls on a pitying God, at whom these curses are hurled:
"Why was I not made to litter a brood of vipers
Rathern than conceive this human mockery?" Baudelaire
"There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs." Ansel Adams
"You don't take a photograph, you make it." Ansel Adams

All new master of geographic information science students are initially assigned the Director of Graduate Studies as their advisor. Each student can select a new advisor that best suits their interests. For a listing of faculty who can serve as your advisor, see the Graduate School's Faculty with Graduation Education Responsibilities page.
MGIS Graduate Student Handbook
At the fall and spring MGIS Orientation programs, each incoming student is given a copy of the current MGIS Graduate Student Handbook. The purpose of the handbook is to provide an easily accessible guide to our program's policies and requirements. It will help you traverse your degree program smoothly, so please be sure to read through it and refer to it as necessary when particular questions arise. The Director of Graduate Studies (DGS) can also answer questions you might have about topics covered in the handbook.
In addition to our program's handbook, the University provides a number of useful resources on the Graduate School Advising page. The College of Liberal Arts Graduate Programs Office page has a number of resources for career development, supportive services, funding and financial support and more.
Maintaining Active Student Status
It is a University requirement that you maintain active status as a graduate student by registering each fall and spring semester. You may, with DGS approval, register for GRAD 999 to maintain active status in special circumstances. This is a zero-credit, zero-fee, non-graded registration for graduate students who must register solely to maintain their active status. Special rules apply to international students and those who have graduate assistantships. You should consult with the DGS and receive program permission prior to registering for GRAD 999.
For further details on Grad 999, visit the Graduate School's Special Registration Categories for Graduate and Professional Students page. A late registration fee will be assessed if you do not register by the appropriate deadline.
If you do not register every fall and spring term, you are considered to have withdrawn and your records will be deactivated. After being deactivated you must request readmission to the Graduate School in order to resume graduate work toward your degree program. For details on readmission, visit the Graduate School's Readmission page.
Graduate Degree Plan and Degree Completion
Each student is required to submit a Graduate Degree Plan (GDP) detailing the courses that will satisfy the degree program requirements. This is an important milestone since you cannot graduate until your plan has been approved by the College of Liberal Arts Office of Research and Graduate Programs. The submission of a paper form will soon be replaced by the Graduate Planning and Audit System (GPAS) featuring electronic submission; CLA is scheduled to migrate to GPAS beginning summer 2019 into 2020.
The Graduate Student Service and Progress (GSSP) page and the Graduation Checklist for Graduate Students are useful degree completion resources. Once your GDP has been officially approved, you can move ahead with downloading the Graduation Packet. Please consult the MGIS DGS about your degree plan, changes to your plan, and other degree completion procedures.
For a useful summary of Masters Degree related procedures from start to finish, see the Master's Plan C Degree Completion Steps as well as the MGIS Plan C Checklist.

Manohar Lal Khattar drives motorcycle to take stock of Amit Shah's Jind rally
tating Jat community leaders, under the All-India Jat Andolan Sangharsh Samiti (AIJASS), had earlier threatened to disrupt the BJP rally but later decided against it
Amit Shah
Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Wednesday drove a motorcycle to take stock of preparations for "Yuva Hunkar Rally" to be addressed by BJP national president Amit Shah in Jind town of Haryana on Thursday.
The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the state has plans to have supporters and youth coming for the rally on over one lakh motorcycles. The Chief Minister rode the motorcycle from the helipad where he had landed, to the venue of rally. He was accompanied by Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare Minister O.P. Dhankar and others. The rally by the BJP president is being seen in political circles in Haryana as the BJP's launch of campaign for the assembly elections.
Hundreds of security personnel, including Haryana Police and para-military forces, have been stationed in Jind, over 200 km from here, ahead of Shah's rally in view of the threat by opposition Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) that its workers would show black flags to the BJP chief and protest against his rally.
The opposition Congress is also opposing the BJP's motorcycle rally. Agitating Jat community leaders, under the All-India Jat Andolan Sangharsh Samiti (AIJASS), had earlier threatened to disrupt the BJP rally but later decided against it on Sunday following talks with the state government.
The Khattar government has reportedly agreed to most of their demands, including taking steps to give reservation in jobs to Jats and withdrawal of cases against protesters, who indulged in violence and arson during the Jat agitation in February 2016. Para-military forces and Haryana Police personnel have also been deputed in several districts adjoining Jind district, as thousands of BJP supporters will be riding motorcycles towards Jind town.
Interacting with the media after taking stock of preparations for the rally, Khattar said the visit of Amit Shah would be "historic and one-of-its-kind in which lakhs of people would come on their motorcycles to participate". Asked about the opposition parties criticising the rally, Khattar said the opposition leaders should not stoop to this level to oppose a political rally.

Top 20 Dairy Companies See Movement After Challenging 2015
Rabobank has released its annual survey of the world's largest dairy companies and there have been a number of major moves.
The top three remained unchanged with Nestlé, Lactalis and Danone falling into their respective spots.
Chinese company Yili moved up two positions to #8 and German company Müller saw the largest rise going from #20 to #15. The largest negative mover was French company Savencia.
"First of all we see the effects of currency volatility, particularly the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against other currencies," says Kevin Bellamy, global dairy strategist for Rabobank.
The collective turnover between the top 20 dairy companies was $194 billion in 2015, down 13% from the previous year. However, it was up 4% in euros at €174 billion.
"That's more of a comment about the strength of the dollar versus the euro than performance of the companies on the list, but it has had an effect," Bellamy adds.
Four U.S. companies are in the top 20 with Dairy Farmers of America going up a spot in the rankings to #4, jumping ahead of New Zealand's Fonterra. Dean Foods fell one spot to #10, Kraft/Heinz climbed three spots to #13 and Schreiber Foods remained at #18. Land O' Lakes fell out of the top 20 after ranking #19 last year.

Salman Khan recently came under fire from social media users after he was accused of blatantly showing his biases in favour of former India cricketer Sreesanth on the Bigg Boss show. Many had mocked the famous Bollywood star after Sreesanth walked out of the room even when the former was in conversation with him.
Some social media users felt that Sreesanth's act was extraordinary given that no one in the past had mustered this courage to be so disdainful to Salman. Sreesanth's act of defiance also assumed significance in light of his comments, calling a female contestant of the show a prostitute. Some were quick to point out how other contestants were berated by Salman for similar 'crimes' in the past.
Sreesanth had found support from Dipika Kakar for his perceived disgusting comments targeting Surbhi Rana. Dipika had later gone inside the bathroom, where a 'sobbing' Sreesanth had locked himself in after storming out of the room, where other housemates were in conversation with Salman.
Buoyed by seemingly showing Salman his place on the reality show, Sreesanth continued with his antics. Though he was seen apologising to Surbhi, but it was more like 'I am doing a favour to you.'
Meanwhile, the former India cricketer, who was banned for spot-fixing in IPL matches, has found no support from other housemates such as Rohit Suchanti, Karanvir Bohra, Surbhi and Deepak Thakur. The gang of four has become the most-talked-about contestants for their friendship. They are often seen coming to each other's rescue whenever one of them has an argument with housemates outside their 'gang.'
On Monday night too, when Romil Chaudhary threatened to physically assault Rohit, both Surbhi and Deepak retaliated with equal vigour and dared him to touch their 'friend.' Rohit also found support from Karanvir, also known as KV.
Faced with stiff challenge, Romil had no option but to withdraw himself.
Towards the end, the famous 'gang of four' were seen sitting in the lawn. Slightly at a distance, Sreesanth was sitting with his 'sister' Dipika and Romil. Even though there was no provocation from Sreesanth, Rohit began to make gestures towards the former India pacer. This visibly irked Sreesanth, who reacted angrily. But, Rohit quickly pretended as if he making those gestures to his friends within the 'gang of four.' This caused plenty of laughter among his friends, causing more annoyance to Sreesanth.
The 'gang of four' has also not spared Dipika, Sreesanth's best friend in the house. She has reportedly complained to the makers of the show, "I've been tolerating their teasing for last 11 weeks. It is as if we are beggars and at their mercy."
#SurbhiRana aur #DeepakThakur ke badhte taano ke wajah se kho rahi hain @ms_dipika apna sabar! Witness all the craziness unfold tonight at 9 PM. #BB12 #BiggBoss12 @iamappyfizz @oppomobileindia @TheGarnierMan @letsdroom pic.twitter.com/lvDl9BNFcZ

It's the warped sense of wanting to be the "hero-rescuer" and the only one in the world to sweep away the sorrow of a beautiful woman trapped in a life of unhappiness. Anyone can have a conventional pretty girl, but it takes a hero to find virtue in on ocean of sorrow and redeem it, right?
Utterly jacked up. So are we doomed to six-month relationships with dysfunctional models and actresses for the rest of our lives? Yeah, yeah - "poor baby" people say, and if we had the "player" temperment, it might not be so bad ... but in spite of this unhealthy attraction to women who aren't good for us, Ed & I do want a "happily ever after."
So what happens when you are drawn to the very things that burn you?
Ah, but hope springs eternal.
Cynthia is coming to the U.S. from Australia next month, and I am once again the optimistic fool I've always been. Is there a happily ever after in this lifetime?
Stay tuned ...

University releases details of student affairs VP contract
The university has released documents related to the employment contract of Teri Hall as vice president for Student Affairs.
The details of the contract state that Hall's position is a 12-month administrative appointment, meaning the position is "subject to annual renewal."
She is set to receive an initial annual salary of $169,000, subject to "yearly merit adjustments."
In addition, up to $14,083 can be allocated to cover costs of moving to Wichita.
Hall's salary is comparable to that of Wade Robinson's starting salary of $165,000 when he was hired as vice president for Student Affairs in 2009.
When Eric Sexton took on the position in 2015, he earned a salary of $208,239, but he served in a dual role as vice president of student affairs and athletic director.
All vice presidents –– including the vice president for administration & finance, the vice president for research & technology transfer, and vice president for strategic communications –– serve directly under President John Bardo except for vice president for student affairs, who now reports to the Provost and Senior Vice President Tony Vizzini.

I just witnessed a full hydro test of a dry system and observed two details that I believe are out of compliance with the code NFPA 13. The first is the time it takes for water to reach the inspection test connection. 188.8.131.52.1 says for systems protecting dwelling units the system shall be sized such that an initial water is discharged from system test connection in not more than 15 seconds. the system I was looking at this took 54 seconds. There is one other section of the code NFPA 220.127.116.11.1 that talks about calculations for a dry system and has longer times for various hazards. Subsection 18.104.22.168.5 states A system meeting the requirements of this section shall not be required to also meet the requirements of 18.104.22.168. Does a system in a residential condominium need to have a 15 second limit for water to reach the test connection of as stated in 18.104.22.168.1 or could it have longer times like are shown in table 18.104.22.168.1
My second observed detail is that it took 1.75 hrs to restore the system to normal air pressure 50PSI in this case. 126.96.36.199.2 states restoring normal air pressure in the system is limited to 30 minutes. My take is that this system is not compliant with the code for restoring air pressure and I think it is non compliant with the time it takes water to reach test connection.
Have I interpreted this correctly

"Research shows that you begin learning in the womb and go right on learning until the moment you pass on. Your brain has a capacity for learning that is virtually limitless, which makes every human a potential genius." by Michael J. Gelb
Tynker is a great new FREE web tool designed to teach students computational thinking and coding skills. It is similar to Scratch but you don't need to download and it works on multiple browsers which is great for schools that are bring your own technology (BYOT). It is easy to set up a class and only takes minutes.
What I like most about Tynker is it balances the left and right side of the brain while using 21st century skills. The students have to critically think about the challenge that you give them, collaborate with others and create using coding skills. Below you can see a screen shot of what is shown in Tynker once you have completed one. My challenge to myself, so I could help learn coding, was to have at least 1 actor, 2 costume changes and a background.
You can give your students challenges that are similar or you can have them use certain coding blocks such as you must have 2 'if, then' statements or you must use 1 coordinate grid code. You can also have them use different coding block themes for a challenge such as 3 events, 1 flow, 2 motions, 2 stage changes. You can also use it to help differentiate because you can assign different challenges to different students.
Below the students challenge was a little different, the students had to reinvent the game 'Pong' so they could play it. There is a backpack button in the top right corner that also lets you store coding blocks so you can 'favorite' ones you like to use a lot or if you want to 'steal' someone else's coding block to learn how to do it, you can. The possibilities are endless with Tynker and the students are having fun, problem solving and using many of the common core skills such as computation, angles, coordinate grids, physics, digital story telling, cause and effect and if, then statements and much more.
You can create lesson plans inside Tynker along with using ones that are already created for you. You can also view other's Tynler projects to gain ideas about how you want to use it in your classroom. When visiting schools recently, I have watched 3rd graders recreate the 'mouse trap' game. Fifth graders created interactive ebooks that explained force and motion. While in a 6th grade classroom, their challenge was to create a 1 min screen that had to sync 5 actors with music to the Harlem Shake.
Here you can see how Common Core 3.NBT is met with this project that is in the lesson plan section.
I would love to hear how other educators are using Tynker in the classroom. Please share in the comment section. Below are some other articles about Tynker that have been in the news that also have great examples of how it can be used in the classroom.

Israel Calls Off Vote on New Illegal Settler Homes in East Al-Quds
Israeli officials have reportedly scrapped plans to build hundreds more illegal settler units on the occupied Palestinian territory, which would amount to a clear violation of the recent UN Security Council resolution demanding a halt to the regime's land grab policy.
Hanan Rubin, with the Jerusalem (al-Quds) Local Planning and Building Committee, said on Wednesday that the bid to approve construction permits for nearly 500 homes in East al-Quds had been shelved upon the request of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Rubin said the decision came as US Secretary of State John Kerry is to offer a purported "comprehensive vision" for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict during a speech in Washington later in the day, according to Press TV.
In Wake of UNSC Vote, Israel Approves Hundreds of New Settlements
Following the vote on Friday by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) calling for a halt to further Israeli settlements in the West Bank, the Jerusalem Planning Committee has approved hundreds of new settlement homes in East Jerusalem.
The Israeli government began approving new settlements over the weekend that were previously deemed 'diplomatically sensitive' by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office prior to the election of Donald Trump. Despite a noticeable slowdown in the construction of settlements over the last few years of the Obama presidency, Israel seems to be banking on further support for their settlement projects from incoming President Donald Trump.
Time for Action Is Not Now: UN Vote on Israeli Settlements Postponed
The United Nations Security Council was scheduled to vote the evening of December 20 on a resolution demanding Israel halt its settlement expansion policies in all Palestinian territories it occupies. However, according to a UN diplomatic source the vote has been postponed and the new date "is yet unkown."
The resolution, drafted by Egypt, demands "Israel immediately and completely cease all settlement expansion activities in occupied Palestinian territory, including al-Quds."
It states such activity is "dangerously imperilling" a two-state solution, and calls for the UN to take "affirmative steps" to reverse this conduct "on the ground."
London Concerned Over Israel Plans to Build 500 Housing Units in E Jerusalem
The United Kingdom is deeply concerned over reports of Jerusalem receiving plans for some 500 new "illegal" housing units in a settlement in East Jerusalem, UK Minister for the Middle East Tobias Ellwood said Monday.
Last week, media reports emerged claiming that Jerusalem's municipality had proposed construction of 500 housing units in Ramat Shlomo, an area annexed by Israel.
"We are deeply concerned by reports that the Jerusalem Municipality has revived a plan for constructing 500 new units in the illegal settlement of Ramat Shlomo in East Jerusalem," Ellwood said in a statement.
Why I'm Not Discussing Genocide in Jerusalem
Jerusalem is not just a site of 'conflict', as the INOGS conference programme says. It is a site in which questions of 'genocide', the deliberate destruction of communities, are all too live.
The International Network of Genocide Scholars (INOGS) is holding a conference in Jerusalem this weekend. The initiative has attracted an attack by Israel Charny in the Jerusalem Post under the lurid heading, 'Genocide scholars who minimize the Holocaust – and some who are coming to town'. This summarised his article published in the pseudo-academic Journal for the Study of Antisemitism, reporting a flawed survey of his friends and acquaintances interested in genocide about their attitudes to the Journal of Genocide Research (JGR), the premier journal in the field which is sponsored by INOGS.

Gross domestic product grew by 1.8 percent in 2018, and is expected to grow another 2 percent this year, according to recently released statistics from the Caribbean Development Bank.
The 1.8 percent growth rate was an increase from the 0.6 percent growth the region experienced in 2017, a year when many islands suffered severe damage from hurricanes. The estimates are for Caribbean Development Bank member jurisdictions, and do not include major Caribbean economies such as Puerto Rico and Cuba.
Grenada led the region, growing by 5.2 percent last year. The Caribbean Development Bank projected the country to grow by 4.5 percent in 2019, which would be its sixth-straight year of growth.
Other high-performing jurisdictions included Guyana, which grew by 3.4 percent, as well as Antigua and Barbuda, which grew by 3.5 percent.
Guyana's growth rate was largely due to increased construction activity in advance of the first commercial production of oil there in 2020, according to the Caribbean Development Bank.
Cayman was the fourth-best performing jurisdiction in the region, growing by 3.2 percent. This estimate varies slightly from the Economics and Statistics Office, which estimates that growth in 2018 was likely 3.4 percent. The development bank is projecting Cayman to grow by 2.6 percent this year.
The British Virgin Islands and Dominica grew at rates of 2.3 percent and 0.5 percent, respectively, in 2018. The growth marked a turnaround from 2017, when they were both hit by Hurricane Irma and experienced economic contractions as a result.
However, the Caribbean Development Bank noted that the BVI's tourism industry still took a hard hit last year, with visitors falling by 50 percent. The BVI economy still grew because of its resilient financial services industry and reconstruction activity, according to the development bank.
Anguilla, meanwhile, did not recover as well as other hurricane-hit jurisdictions. Its economy continued to shrink last year by 2.4 percent after also experiencing negative growth in 2017.
The other Caribbean economy to shrink was Barbados, where the Caribbean Development Bank is headquartered.
That country contracted by 0.6 percent after growing by 1 percent in 2017.
"A fall in construction activity as well as the impact of the fiscal consolidation led to economic contraction in Barbados, despite a modest increase in tourist arrivals," the Caribbean Development Bank explained.

- READ MORE: Chelsea in four-team fight in pursuit of £40m-rated Brazilian sensation
The end of the season couldn't come sooner for Chelsea as the Blues were once again denied a victory in the Premier League.
West Ham were the opposition this time as the East-Londoners denied Antonio Conte's men at Stamford Bridge.
In what was a close encounter, Chelsea deservedly took the lead as Cesar Azpilicueta well-worked strike was too good for Joe Hart.
However, the former-Manchester City goalkeeper pulled off some spectacular saves, especially in the second half.
As the visitors kept themselves in the game, Chelsea got more aggravated with failing to give ourselves breathing space.
The Hammers got their equaliser out of nothing as Thibaut Courtois did nothing but pick the ball out of the net after Javier Hernandez's super finish.
It was end to end action in the latter stages but Hart's resilience kept Chelsea at bay, thankfully our defence did just about enough to stop David Moyes' side from getting the winner.
This draw all but ends any hope of last season's champions finishing in the top four in what's been an aggravating campaign for the club.
It's no surprise that with all these poor performances and results, next season seems to be the most talked about discussion among Chelsea fans.
These are our Chelsea player ratings in the 1-1 draw with West Ham:
Courtois 4, Azpilicueta 6, Cahill 5, Rudiger 5, Alonso 5, Kante 7, Fabregas 5, Moses 3, Hazard 4, Willian 6, Morata 5. Subs: Pedro 5, Giroud 5

Top 14 Unique Skin Care Products You Haven't Thought to Try but Should
If you've spent any time browsing the skin care aisle lately, you've probably noticed that there are a lot of new products coming with some very unique, and sometimes downright strange, ingredients. It can be hard to know if it's all just hype, or if these unique products might actually be useful to incorporate into your regimen. Here are 14 unique products that may seem a little weird but can actually be surprisingly beneficial to your beauty routine.
1. Charcoal Sheet Masks
Charcoal sheet masks are all the rage lately, and several beauty brands have come out with their own version. What can charcoal do for the skin? This ingredient has actually been used for centuries to detoxify the body and absorb poisons. When used in a sheet mask (or other skin care product), charcoal can actually absorb dirt and oil, making it especially useful for acne prone skin. Since it draws out impurities and detoxifies, it can brighten and smooth the skin, as well. This is one unique product everyone should consider incorporating into their routine for the Korean look of glass smooth, clear skin that glows from within.
2. Treatments Containing Yeast Extract
We all know that yeast is the ingredient that makes bread rise, but what good could that possibly do for our skin? Yeast is incredibly rich in antioxidants, minerals, proteins, and B vitamins. It also contains something called fibroblasts, which are similar to the cells that produce collagen, an essential component for skin elasticity. This fantastic combination of ingredients makes yeast extract very useful for firming the skin, reducing hyperpigmentation, and even calming redness.
3. Moisturizers and Treatments with Urea
What on earth is urea? It's actually a laboratory created ingredient composed of carbon dioxide and ammonia. These two ingredients together form a powerful, yet gentle, exfoliant and humectant. Not only that, urea can help other ingredients penetrate the skin better, so it can actually make the other ingredients in your moisturizer or treatment more effective.
4. Caffeine Moisturizers and Treatments for the Eye Area
Most of us can't live without our morning shot of caffeine, but we've never considered putting it on our face! Surprisingly, caffeine is filled with antioxidants, and it's also a diuretic. That makes it excellent for de-puffing the eye are because it actually constricts the blood vessels.
5. Lanolin Moisturizers and Lip Products
Lanolin, made from sheep sebum, is cropping up in all kinds of moisturizers and lip products lately. This naturally derived ingredient can provide incredible moisturization to dehydrated lips and skin. It also gives the skin and lips a fantastic softness few other natural ingredients offer.
6. Placental Extract Toners and Creams
Yeah, putting placental extract on your face probably sounds kind of weird, and maybe a little gross, but it can be surprisingly beneficial. Toners and creams containing this unusual extract will be rich with its hyaluronic acid. Not only that, placentas contain hormones used to develop tissue and smooth, elastic skin. Products containing this ingredient can be effective for reducing fine lines and stimulating the production of collagen.
7. Lip and Skin Treatments Containing Pepper Spray
Pepper spray is a chemical that is extracted from chili peppers known for its burn. When its added to skin care products, it improves blood flow to the skin's surface, which creates a plumping effect and a rosy glow.
8. Lip Gloss and Nail Polish with Guanine (Fish Scales)
Have you ever wondered how your lip gloss or nail polish got that gorgeous pearlescent effect? Chances are, crushed fished scales, aka guanine, have been added to the product for their light reflective properties. Guanine is becoming popular in shimmery body lotions and face creams, too.
9. Masks and Creams Made with Diatomaceous Earth
Food grade diatomaceous earth, or DE, is often recommended as a natural way to control pests around the home and garden. So, what's it doing in your skin care products? Turns out, DE can also absorb oil and trap bacteria, so it's extremely beneficial when used in products intended for acne and oil control. Those are some fantastic benefits from an ingredient that's totally safe and natural!
10. Blushes Made with Carmine (Cochineal Beetles)
If you love a pretty red lipstick or rosy blush, chances are it contains carmine, which is made from powdered cochineal beetles. This key ingredient of red dye has the excellent benefit of being completely natural, safe, and free of chemicals.
11. Creams made with Dragon's Blood
This ingredient isn't really blood at all. It's actually a bright red resin that comes from certain plants. It has been used for its medicinal benefits for thousands of years. Modern skin care companies now add it to products for its ability to reduce inflammation and calm redness.
12. Serums Containing Snail Mucin
Putting snail slime on your face probably sounds pretty crazy to most people, but serums containing this natural ingredient pack some pretty powerful benefits. It's full of antioxidants and proteins plus glycolic acid and elastin. These products will gently exfoliate dead skin cells, reduce photoaging, smooth the skin, and stimulate the production of collagen. That's a lot of benefit from one product!
13. Serums and Moisturizers made with Glucosamine (Bone Marrow)
Bone marrow, or glucosamine, is loaded with anti-inflammatory properties and beneficial acids. Bone marrow oil can penetrate the skin easily to form a protective moisture barrier. Usually, this natural ingredient is derived from chicken bones and added to serums and moisturizers.
14. Bee Venom Moisturizer and Lip Treatments
Intentionally putting bee venom, or melittin, on your lips and skin probably sounds a little crazy, but this ingredient is commonly found in products intended to produce a plumping effect. It encourages blood flow at the surface of the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Look for these products if you want to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Although these unique products may sound a little bizarre at first, they can actually provide some fantastic benefits. Not only that, most of these ingredients are completely natural, which is something we are all looking for in our products these days.

United Airlines is reacting to the current economic crisis by cutting routes, frequencies, and retiring over 120 of its aircraft, including the whole of its B737 fleet.
Graham Atkinson, executive vice president at United and president of the airline's Mileage Plus frequent flyer programme said, "The current conditions are too brutal to keep on flying capacity that isn't needed. We have got to size the airline to the new reality."
The reductions in capacity have been across the domestic market in the US, but have targeted 120 B737 aircraft, Atkinson says,
"The good news is that these aircraft were not in the best of internal condition, and so we have improved the environmental footprint, improved the customer experience and lowered the cost [for the airline] because they are expensive to maintain."
United is also retiring six of its oldest B747 aircraft from international routes, and is cutting capital expenditure, but Atkinson says that two important areas have been left untouched: "customer-facing projects and IT infrastructure."
The retirement of the aircraft isn't, however, a sign that United is looking to order new aircraft.
"Our fleet is 14 years average age and it's coming down by virtue of retiring the B737 fleet," says Atkinson. "We know we will need to look seriously at an aircraft order. At the moment the interiors looks great, but there are fuel savings from flying new aircraft, so there's a trade [between] capital outlay versus operating costs."
Atkinson says that United is interested in both the B787 and the A350 aircraft "and also the long range B777 aircraft. For the domestic narrow-bodied fleet, however, Atkinson says "We will likely not be interested in a narrow-bodied replacement until the new ones come along in 2015 and 2016."

Missouri House Speaker sorry for "poor judgment" with intern
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- Missouri House Speaker John Diehl is attempting to repair his reputation and retain his powerful position while seeking forgiveness for what he describes as "the poor judgment" he displayed in a relationship with a Capitol intern.
Diehl, a Republican, apologized Wednesday for his actions following a newspaper report that he had exchanged sexually charged text messages with a college student who had been serving as a legislative intern. He also said he would not resign and appealed to colleagues for their continued support as Democratic lawmakers launched an effort to try to remove him from the speakership to which he was elected in January.
The Capitol drama was unfolding as Missouri lawmakers pressed toward a Friday deadline to pass legislation, with tensions already high because of policy disagreements.
"I apologize for the poor judgment I displayed that put me and those closest to me in this situation," Diehl said in a written statement released Wednesday after he shut himself for hours in his Capitol office, meeting privately with various staff and lawmakers. "I also regret that the woman has been dragged into this situation."
Earlier Wednesday, The Kansas City Star released a story accompanied by screenshots of apparent electronic messages between Diehl and a college student who was a Capitol intern. The messages included some sexually suggestive discussions and revealed what The Star described as a "flirty rapport" suggesting an intimate relationship.
Diehl did not specifically mention the text messages in either his written statement or in comments to reporters outside his office late Wednesday, but he expressed regret.
"I apologized to my caucus and to people in my life that are important to me. It was very regrettable. It was a stupid thing to do. And I'm sorry," he said, adding that he intends to remain in the speaker post.
The intern, who no longer works at the Capitol, declined to comment Wednesday and referred The Associated Press to attorney Phil Willoughby, a former Democratic state House member.
She "is not interested in being at the center of any political debate concerning her internship or the workings of the state Capitol," Willoughby said.
Richard Miller, dean of the School of Arts and Sciences at Missouri Southern State University, told The Star that the school pulled its four interns out of the state Capitol this spring after an unspecified incident, which he declined to describe more specifically.
Following the Star's report, Democratic state Rep. Gina Mitten announced on the House floor that she was seeking signatures on a petition calling for a vote to remove Diehl as speaker pending a full investigation into allegations of misconduct.
"I do not believe that our present speaker should be at the dais while we have this dark cloud over the Capitol," said Mitten, of the St. Louis suburb of Richmond Heights.
Six of the House's top Democrats released a statement Wednesday evening calling upon Diehl to "resign the post of House speaker without further delay."
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon, a Democrat, described Diehl's conduct toward the intern as "clearly inappropriate and troubling."
But others continued to back Diehl's leadership.
A large group of House Republicans met for about an hour Wednesday night. Republican St. Louis Rep. Marsha Haefner said as she left the meeting that she supports Diehl "100 percent."
Rep. Scott Fitzpatrick, R-Shell Knob, also voiced support for Diehl.
"He's owned up to what's happened and apologized and asked for forgiveness," Fitzpatrick said. "I'm a forgiving person."
Diehl, 49, is an attorney who lives with his wife and three sons in the St. Louis suburb of Town and Country. He was first elected to the House in 2008 and now presides over one of the largest Republican legislative majorities in state history. He's known for his ability to work deals and to persuade rank-and-file members to stick together on the party's priorities.
The Star reported that it contacted Diehl on April 24 seeking comment about the text messages. The newspaper said Diehl backed out of an interview a week later and that his staff eventually turned over records showing six text messages sent from the intern to Diehl. The newspaper said the records showed only a log of conventional text messages, but it reported that the messages it obtained show conversations over Apple's iMessage platform.

Good news for Windsor-Essex in stroke report card
Windsor Regional Hospital's Ouellette Campus
Windsor-Essex residents are getting treatment for strokes earlier and meeting length of stay targets, according to a report from the from the Institute of Clinical Evaluative Sciences and the Ontario Stroke Network.
Results of the Stroke Report Card for the Erie St. Clair LHIN indicate that patients treated for stroke show improvements as a result of the hospital realignment; having acute stroke care focused on by one organization and rehabilitation care the focus of another.
The proportion of stroke patients treated on a stroke unit at a hospital in the Erie St. Clair LHIN at any time during their hospital stay was reported as 36 per cent in 2015/16, up from 18 per cent in 2014/15.
"It means more patients are getting specialized stroke care" says Denise St. Louis, the District Stroke Co-ordinator for Windsor-Essex.
Early positive results from the impact of the opening of a dedicated Acute Stroke Unit April 3, 2017 at the WRH Ouellette Campus have not been factored into the report. However, it is anticipated that the ESC LHIN results will only improve as the program matures and cares for more stroke patients
Other improvements, patients eligible to receive the clot-busting drugs are receiving it faster - within 63 minutes of arrival at the hospital.
The impact of opening of a dedicated acute stroke unit at Windsor Regional Hospital's Ouellette Campus has not been factored into the report, but the hospital expects these results will improve as the unit grows and cares for more patients.

We spoke with John Riccio, Director of Engineering at Clear Channel's Ashtabula, Ohio station cluster about his installation of an Axia digital audio snake.
Axia: John, thanks for choosing Axia for your radio stations. How many stations do you have here?
John: We have four stations. Our three FMs are Star 97.1 (WREO-FM), 102 Zoo (WZOO-FM) and Fox 107.5 (WFXJ-FM), plus AM news/talker WFUN. We serve the greater Cleveland area.
Tell us a bit about what you were looking for when you found Axia.
Well, our stations are in different, adjacent buildings, which means we must have a way to get audio from one place to the next. We have several stereo signals to carry, and for a while we did it with hard-wired analog cables. The problem with that approach was the lack of flexibility - we couldn't just add a new pair at will when we ran out of capacity. Also, there was the problem of line loss affecting sound quality. We wanted to replace the copper with a more modern solution, and we had actually looked at a few other choices when we found Axia.
Why did you choose Axia instead of one of those other solutions?
We kept bumping into the cost. There are plenty of systems out there that would have done what we needed, but they were too expensive. Axia did the job we needed to do for about half what the other guys wanted. That was a big plus!
The more we found out about Axia, the plainer it became that we could accomplish what we wanted very simply and keep our costs reasonable.
Tell us about your Axia system.
Like I said, we have a group of signals running from one building to the next. We feed them into an Axia audio node and they're turned into IP audio. From there, the Axia gear connects to a Transition Networks media converter, which converts the Ethernet streams to a fiber-optic link. Fiber runs between the two buildings, and the process gets reversed on the receiving end. It really couldn't be much simpler.
Now that you've had your system in place for a while, how do you like it?
I like it a lot! It's very good; very stable. We actually started out running the system on CAT-5e cable, but found we needed a little more length than wire could give us; the Axia folks were very helpful and helped us pick out the media converter boxes and the fiber link.
How was set-up and configuration?
Pretty darn simple. When I got the Axia audio nodes, they were already pre-configured; we just basically hooked them up and they worked. We plugged in our sources, adjusted the input level, and off it went! The system has been in operation since October of 2003 and I haven't touched it once.
Well, that's not entirely true. I did unplug it one day by accident… but I just plugged it back in, and it came right back up.
Do you have any suggestions for future Axia products?
Well, the DB-9 connectors on my equipment were a bit of a hassle; I'd prefer plugs to be laid out in a different way so that they're not so tightly spaced. But I've been told that the Axia engineers have already addressed this by revising the gear to use RJ-45 jacks instead of the DB-9, so my point may be moot.
Overall, is Axia something you'd feel comfortable recommending to a friend or colleague?
Yes. It's a great product, and in fact I have already recommended it to our company's regional engineer.
Thanks for your time, John.
You're welcome.

Two Captives Beheaded In Philippines
The heads of two Jehovah's Witnesses kidnapped in a Muslim extremist group's stronghold were found dumped in a public market Thursday in the southern Philippines. Four other members of the Christian sect remained captives.
The military and local police had blamed the al Qaeda-linked Abu Sayyaf group for the Tuesday abductions, saying the nephew of a local Abu Sayyaf leader was among the armed kidnappers. But they backtracked Thursday, blaming a group of bandits headed by the nephew.
The incident, which bore all the hallmarks of an Abu Sayyaf attack, has been a huge embarrassment for the military and the government of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, who said just weeks ago that the Abu Sayyaf had been decimated and virtually defeated with the help of a six-month U.S. counterterrorism training exercise.
"Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water, the sharks called Abu Sayyaf rear their ugly heads again," said the Manila Standard newspaper.
Brig. Gen. Romeo Tolentino, army commander on the southern island of Jolo, said the heads of the two male hostages were found in bags with notes denouncing them as "infidels."
The bags were left at food stands about 100 yards apart at the main market in the town of Jolo. The attached notes called for "jihad" or Islamic holy war, Tolentino said.
"This is what will happen to those who do not believe in Allah," said one note found near one of the heads of the men.
The two men, along with four women, were abducted Tuesday a few miles outside of the town of Jolo in Patikul district, a stronghold of the fanatical Abu Sayyaf group that survived a U.S.-backed military campaign to wipe it out.
The hostages had been selling Avon cosmetics, herbal teas and medical supplies on the predominantly Muslim island, police said.
Some Philippine newspapers described them as also being "preachers" who had been spreading their religion in Patikul, considered extremely dangerous for Christians. Authorities on Jolo Island, about 600 miles south of Manila, could not confirm this.
The army reacted by pounding suspected rebel lairs near Patikul with rockets and cannon on Thursday.
"This is a barbaric act by a barbaric group trying to propagate their religion," Tolentino said.
For the second consecutive night, the army on Wednesday shelled suspected Jolo island hide-outs of the Abu Sayyaf, known for mass kidnappings of Filipinos and others, including Americans and Europeans. Some have been beheaded.
Early Thursday, the military issued a statement saying the Abu Sayyaf was responsible for the abductions and beheadings. But military Southern Commander Lt. Gen. Ernesto Carolina backtracked after a meeting of the local crisis management committee, saying two hitchhikers were responsible.
"This kidnapping ... was a chance incident, it was not planned," Carolina told DZBB radio. "We want to correct the impression that there is trouble again in Sulu and that the Abu Sayyaf were responsible."
On Thursday, hundreds of army reinforcements, including elite fighters who received counterterrorism training from U.S. troops this year, arrived in Patikul from other villages on the island.
Officials said the two dead were 21-year-old Lemuel Bantolo and Leonel Mantic, of an unknown age.
Mantic's 23-year-old widow, Emily, was believed to be among the remaining captives, along with Cleofe Bantolo, 46, Flora Bantolo, 40, and Nori Bendijo, 41. The relationship between the captive Bantolos and the victim Lemuel Bantolo wasn't immediately known.
Police and military officers had previously said the kidnappings were led by Muin Maulod Sahiron, a nephew of Radullan Sahiron who heads the Abu Sayyaf group in Patikul.
Police said two men with pistols stopped a jeep carrying the Jehovah's Witnesses and forced them out on Tuesday. The driver was left behind and alerted authorities. Two other people in the vehicle, who were Muslim, were not taken hostage.
Police also found Avon products and herbal teas in the jeep.
A spokesman at Avon Products Inc.'s New York headquarters, Victor Beaudet, said the abductees were not employees or official Avon representatives.
The Abu Sayyaf has often kidnapped for ransom, but more frequently has abducted poor Filipinos, mostly Christians, to serve for weeks or months as slave labor. Kidnapped women are sometimes forced to marry guerrillas.
For six months beginning in February, about 1,200 U.S. troops trained and gave supplies and intelligence to Philippine troops hunting the Abu Sayyaf.
The U.S. program ended officially three weeks ago, although a few Americans remain on Basilan island near Jolo.
On May 27, 2001, Abu Sayyaf rebels raided a tourist resort and abducted three Americans and 17 Filipinos.
Days later, the gang beheaded American Guillermo Sobero from Corona, Calif. They also beheaded several Filipino hostages.
That kidnapping saga ended on June 7 this year when U.S.-trained and backed Philippine soldiers tracked down the rebels.
They rescued American missionary Gracia Burnham, but her husband Martin Burnham and Filipino nurse Ediborah Yap were killed in the raid.
A Filipino man, Roland Ullah, is still being held. He was taken from a tourist resort in Malaysia during another Abu Sayyaf mass kidnapping two years ago.
