The pimple you wish you never picked, too many years worshipping in the sun without sunscreen, or even genetics can lead to hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. These are common skincare issues that plenty of people, like me, suffer from, yet most of the time, just end up being hidden behind makeup. Well, through proper skincare you can actually treat these issues, so you can lighten the load on your foundation and let your natural skin shine through.
The cause of skin discoloration is the result of excess melanin – a natural pigment that gives color to skin. The most common issues of hyperpigmentation are: age spots on skin that is often exposed to the UV exposure and pollution; melasma, often as a result from hormone fluctuation; and scarring, which happens after acne, bug bite, or other trauma to the skin once it heals and leaves a mark behind.
Hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone have always been two of my skin major concerns. So I've turn to skincare from Skinceuticals to help target this problem for me..
My Skinceuticals Skincare Routine Targeting Hyperpigmentation and Skin Tone
1. Skinceuticals Gentle Cleanser
The basis of any good skincare routine starts with a good cleanser. The SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser is a non-irritating cream cleanser designed to cleansing skin without causing irritation and discomfort. I love the cream texture of this cleanser, and how gently it removes my makeup, excess oils and debris, leaving my skin pure, fresh and comfortable. I typically use this cleanser twice a day, once during my morning cleanse and another in the evening during my nightly cleanse. It does a great job at removing makeup without stripping your skin of natural oils.
2. Skinceuticals CE Ferulic
We all the health benefits of vitamin C for the body, so it's no surprise also does the same for your skin! Skinceuticals' C E Ferulic is a powerful antioxidant combination of 15% pure vitamin C , 1% vitamin E, and 0.5% ferulic acid. Together these ingredients protect against environmental damage caused by free radicals that can contribute to early aging. In addition to antioxidant protective benefits, this serum is the best defence against premature aging, loss of elasticity, and treating hyperpigmentation.
I've been using the CE Ferulic for on and off for the past 5 years, and I have to say it's my favorite vitamin C serum. It's a nice light serum, that absorb almost instantly, and wears well under makeup. This serum leaves my skin feeling protected and nourished. I apply several drops daily in the morning by patting it into my skin after cleansing and before my moisturizer and sunscreen.
3. Skinceuticals Retexturizing Activator
Proper exfoliation removes the barrier of dead skin cells clogging the skin and uncovers fresh new cells below. This opens the way for products to penetrate more deeply into the skin, making them more effective and leaving your skin looking fresh and healthy. Retexturing Activator is a revolutionary exfoliating product that replenishes and resurfaces the skin for noticeably soft, smooth skin texture.
What I love about the Skinceuticals Retexturizing Activator is that it exfoliants is so gently and without mechanical exfoliation as you would usually get with scrubs or polishing beads. This oil-free serum has the resurfacing power of daily 20% glycolic acid treatment without the irritating effect. I've found the Retexturizing Activator really help with my skin texture and I usually use it every other day at night after between cleansing and moisturizing.
4. Skinceuticals Phyto Corrective Gel
Phyto Corrective Gel contains hyaluronic acid, cucumber, thyme, and other botanical ingredients, making it an ideal moisturizer for sensitive skin. It also features mulberry to help minimize the appearance of discoloration and promote a clear, fresh-looking complexion. I usually use this product every other day (on the days I don't use the Retexturizing Activator) in conjunction with Advance Pigment Corrector (below).
5. Advance Skin Discoloration Corrector
The Advanced Discoloration Corrector helps correct and prevent unwanted pigmentation and those dark spots left from acne, other scars, etc. In addition this product is also known to boost skin tone evenness and radiance. I've noticed visible improvements in discoloration as well as the luminosity and the radience of my skin. I've tried quite an array of skin brightening products, and I love how this one doesn't irritate my sensitive skin at all. The serum itself is light weight, so it can be layered with the other serum without feeling like it's overkill on your skin.
I've been using this entire routine of Skinceutical products for the past 2 months, and I have to say it's made such a difference in reducing my hyperpigmentation, while also improving my skin tone and texture. I love that each one of these products is gentle enough for sensitive skin while still being effective in actually doing that they say they'll do on the bottle.

Afghanistan: Afghanistan's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Abdullah Abdullah said insurgents continued to commit crimes against the fellow countrymen despite the National Unity Government's (NUG) repeated calls for peace.
Speaking at an event to mark World Press Freedom Day on Wednesday, he said, "In fact the Taliban is a criminal group and despite NUG's repeated demands for peace and negotiation, they refuse, and with the continuation of the crimes, it became possible for other terrorist groups to be placed in Afghanistan and to be able to commit such crimes," said Abdullah, as quoted by Tolo News.
Early this year, the Afghan government made a peace offer, without preconditions, to the Taliban. But the Taliban hasn't responded to the offer till now.
On April 30, Daesh militants carried out two suicide bombings in Kabul, killing 29 people including nine journalists.
The Afghanistan Federation of Journalists (AFJ) also issued a joint statement condemning the explosions and noted, "this terrorist attack is a war crime and indicates a serious lack of security by the government."
The Afghan media also called on the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the United Nation Security Council (UNSC) to investigate the incident.
Abdullah, during the event, referred to the AFJ's statement and said that all their suggestions and demands are accepted by the NUG.
In the end, he asked the people of Afghanistan to stand united against the enemies of the country.
"If the people of Afghanistan all together do not convey united messages to the enemies of Afghanistan and do not condemn the enemy, then the enemy will be allowed to become open to crime. And unfortunately, we did not see this happen on a national level," Tolo News reported. (ANI)

Hampton Roads Transit (HRT) will try to serve where it can and that the localities will pay for. A stark example of that is taking the bus to the airport. HRT goes nowhere near Norfolk International Airport (ORF), but it does go to Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport (PHF).
Being the type who likes to stick my head under the hood and look myself, on Tuesday I took HRT to PHF to check out the service. (That's why I was late with the previous post: I didn't have time Tuesday morning, in a hurry to get out the door.) From where I live in Virginia Beach, it was a five bus ride to PHF. (It would have been four buses had I travelled 90 minutes later, but I wanted to leave early.) It's HRT Route 111 that goes to PHF, an hourly service from Patrick Henry Mall, City Center at Oyster Point, and Thomas Nelson Community College.
The 111 was quite busy west of Patrick Henry Mall. Arriving at PHF, the only stop at the airport terminal is a shelter just before the building. A very good shelter with a wooden floor, but - oddly - no bench in the shelter. (The airport has benches just yards away in front of the terminal itself.) The 111 only services the airport one-way: on the Outbound leg, at about 40 minutes after the hour. Just beyond the airport, the 111 loops back the other way. I was able to make the loop without paying fare twice.
Why not ORF? I'm told that the taxi companies are keeping HRT out. The "compromise' discussed about a year ago was to reroute Route 8 to the intersection of Norview Avenue and Azalea Garden Road. That would be off the airport grounds, and a hopelessly long walk away with baggage to carry. In short, the proposed "compromise" was a sick joke.
Some other notes from Tuesday's trip:
1. More proof of my "Build It And They Will Come" Axiom for transit in the region: 4 of the 5 buses I rode in Newport News were full. This was late morning-early afternoon, the slowest part of the day for transit. (The only light loads were on the 111 beyond Patrick Henry Mall.)
Not coincidentally, Newport News is the 2nd largest local contributor to HRT's Budget. Like in Norfolk (tops), people ride a bus system that is there for them. (FYI, Hampton is 3rd, Virginia Beach 4th.)
2. Another day, another case for light rail through The Third Crossing: coming home, the 61 got delayed in traffic on the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel. With light rail, we would have been rolling through on the train.
3. ORF brings us back to the paratransit issue. Under Federal guidelines, paratransit provided by HRT's contractor (P&W Transportation) is required only to operate to destinations within a quarter-mile of HRT's bus routes. That means no Handi-Ride service to ORF.
There's a long solution for the handicapped: fly out of PHF. Matter of fact, I saw Handi-Ride at PHF.
4. Finally (but not least), kudos to the three people I dealt with at Patrick Henry Mall on the way home. I had never taken HRT there, while it had been quite some time for the couple I met. A Good Samaritan helped us make a convoluted bus transfer to head back southward.

Dozens of beaches of unsurpassed beauty crown the coastline of Lefkada. Among them the photo champion Porto Katsiki, gorgeous Egremnoi, busy Gialos, vast Kathisma, peaceful Myloi, youthful Agios Giannis on the west; cosmopolitan Nydri, stunning Syvota and the bay of Vassiliki on the East. Some of them on the leeward side, others sandy, some marked with high white cliffs and deep turquoise waters; no matter which one you'll like best, they are all perfect for unforgettable moments of fun and joy.
Lefkada is an unparallel destination for the lovers of sea sports. If you are one of them, put on the friskier of your moods and give in to an adrenaline party at the hot spots of the island.
The water track and field of Lefkada is a paradise for surfers and is famous with Greek and international surfers alike. The wind's strength that reaches its peak in the afternoon has put the beach of Vassiliki, a globally acclaimed surf spot, in the TOP 10 beaches in the world and the TOP 3 in Europe. Slalom and free style in side shore conditions are a must here. In the North, not far from the town of Lefkada, the beach of Agios Giannis almost pairs up with Vassiliki wind-wise, but its different waters mostly attract kite surfers. Huge kites glide on the waves at breakneck speed before soaring in the air to fill the sky with colour. Windsurfing schools and equipment shops facilitate things for light travellers and those deciding to take part in the thrilling activity on a whim.

A label for Old Bond St. Galleries in London and Exchange Art Gallery, Dale Street, in Liverpool is also en verso. An old fabric label has "20" but illegible handwriting. Sight – 47 7/8"; H x 39 1/4" W. Framed – 58" H x 49 1/4" W. Provenance: Featured in both the Aston collection, United Kingdom and the Dulin Gallery of Art (predecessor to the Knoxville Museum of Art) collection, Knoxville, TN. Biography : John Michael Wright was an English Baroque portrait painter. He was apprenticed to George Jamesone in Edinburgh, 1636-41, then spent a long period abroad, chiefly in Rome, where in 1648 he became a member of the Accademia di S. Luca – the only British painter of the 17th century to have this distinction. On his return to England in 1656, he won many patrons among his fellow Catholics and became Lely's chief rival. His style was less glossy than Lely's but more penetrating and individual in characterization, his sitters tending to look thoughtful rather than merely glamorous. Wright was a collector, antiquarian, and scholar, and a man of considerable culture: in 1685 he accompanied an embassy from James II to Pope Innocent XI and wrote an account of it in Italian, published in 1687. However, he never had great worldly success and died in modest circumstances. Source: The Oxford Dictionary of Art and Artists. Condition: Condition: Relined in the 19th century. Subject has been aggressively cleaned in the past. Blacklighting reveals inpainting in background of shoulder area and upper right corner.

"Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth", is a law of propaganda often attributed to the Nazi Joseph Goebbels. Among psychologists something like this known as the "illusion of truth" effect. Here's how a typical experiment on the effect works: participants rate how true trivia items are, things like "A prune is a dried plum". Sometimes these items are true (like that one), but sometimes participants see a parallel version which isn't true (something like "A date is a dried plum").
After a break – of minutes or even weeks – the participants do the procedure again, but this time some of the items they rate are new, and some they saw before in the first phase. The key finding is that people tend to rate items they've seen before as more likely to be true, regardless of whether they are true or not, and seemingly for the sole reason that they are more familiar.

"The UICA has been a major reason why I enjoy living in GR, as it has been the most professional, inspiring, forward-thinking art institution outside of Detroit, as far as I'm concerned."
Way back in 2007, a group of sculpture students at Kendall College of Art & Design embarked on a project that's since grown faster and larger than they ever could have expected.
That project, first known as ACTIVESITE and later called SiTE:LAB, has been making a name for itself in the local arts scene (and beyond). Revue talked with Amenta about plans for the future, why SiTE:LAB is important, and what the general public should get out of it all.
Rust — a notorious destroyer of aged bikes, pipes and cars, takes on a new meaning at the superusted exhibition, opening August 18 at the Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts (UICA) in downtown Grand Rapids.
Drawing on her experiences living in the Midwest — also known as the "Rust Belt of America," exhibition curator Cheryl Wilgren Clyne focuses on the transformative nature of rust in superusted, which runs through Oct. 23.
Printmaking is an inimitable and intricate medium. It allows artists to engrave or etch an image onto a surface that will be used to create a series of pieces — each considered an original.
Local printmakers Ashley McGrath and Erica Lang chatted with Revue — here's what they had to say.
On a college campus peppered with analogous brick buildings, the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum stands alone.
The Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts launched its new series, Coming Home at the end of October. The five exhibitions feature works by emerging and established Michigan artists. One of the shows, Macabre, which features works by more than 20 artists, incorporates themes and imagery from both Halloween and Día de los Muertos.
Showcasing emerging contemporary artists from Grand Rapids and beyond, as well as the work of experienced professionals, Glitter Milk Gallery combines low and highbrow art. The gallery is filled with styles ranging from illustration and pop surrealism, to sculpture and graphic design. On Oct. 24 Glitter Milk debuts its Samhain exhibit, a witch-themed display of work.
West Michigan-based artists Bunny Terwee and Margaret Farrell are both set for this year's ArtPrize. Terwee's "ALL ABOUT THE LINES" and Farrell's "Jeison" will be featured at One Trick Pony (136 Fulton St. E, Grand Rapids) during the competition.
In a Midtown studio apartment adorned with paintings on every inch of its walls, Joseph DeCommer, 35, figuratively lives and breathes art.

Well, even that has a historical bias. tongue emoticon Is it possible to read a historical text WITHOUT our current way of thinking injecting itself into our interpretations of it?
One thing I like to do when I get deep into it, is see how different historians interpreted history from THEIR perspectives in _their_ times.
What biases can I see?
For example, how did 16th century view the Medieval times? After all, they were closer in time to it than us. What assumptions did they hold? What were their biases?
Or, how did 4th century Greeks view the Romans? How did 4th century Romans view the Greeks?
Stuff like that. And it becomes a "he said, she said" situation that extends throughout the whole span of time.
And the more different perspectives you get, the more the gaps start to fill in.
I knew NOTHING of the period of time between 5th century AD and 15th century AD except for knights and plague and maybe an Islamic mathematician.
But then I joined the Greek Orthodox church for a few years just for the heck of it in my mid 20s.
Suddenly, a whole NEW view of history blossomed. I found out that a LOT happened n that time frame. A lot happened that was at the height of culture and infliuence. I learned about the Christianizatoin of Russia from their perspective… I learned some of the deep thinkers of the time, which consisted of monks (male and female) living in the deserts and caves, expounding their views on human nature and such from their perspectives.
And there was no backwardness. There was no illiteracy. There was no stupidity. SUCH a different view than anything I learned before.
parts of the world GLOWED with new knowledge. I started getting an understanding that this Rome that i thought was SUCH a big deal, was like, eh, oh yeah, the Latins, yeah them, from the Eastern perspective.
I'm still missing parts. China I'm ignorant of in most ways.
I also want to learn more of history from an Islamic perspective. I know the Byzantine perspective pretty well – and they actually got along rather nicely 'til Rome got jealous and wanted rich Byzantinum for themselves and started a lot of fighting.
Anyway, the more stuff you pick up from different POV, you no longer get these nice easy straight lines that go from A event to B event but rather you get a feel for large groups of people, not so different from each other, pushing and pulling but MOSTLY trying to get along when they weren't fighting.
And it puts you there. Getting up in the morning. Stretching. Pooping in a hole in the floor in another room that leads to the ground to be washed away by a town septic system and you go about your day, and life isn't that bad.
Thanks grin emoticon I write best when I'm annoyed a little by the culture I was raised in and live in, and I get passionate about defending a lesser-heard point of view.

Dick and Jane, America's answer to the Peter and Jane series, has a new version charting the history of the children's reading books. New York City graphics group Spot Design has taken the original characters and illustrations, and combined them with facts and archive photos of the period to create Growing Up with Dick and Jane. The book aims to reflect the changes in US society from the 1930s to the 1960s as recorded in the Dick and Jane series. To "visually evoke childlike feelings in the reader … Spot set the original Dick and Jane copy in large type with large photo illustrations", in contrast to the information on the facts on the period, says a Spot spokesman. The book goes on shelf in the autumn.

Ahead of this weekend's home tie with his former club Liverpool, Chelsea striker Fernando Torres has vowed to 'never give up' in terms of proving himself at Stamford Bridge as Bet365 announce free bets on the game.
Bet365 have been in touch to tell us they will offer free bets worth £200 to all SqueakyBumTime visitors to spend on any football match this weekend, including all the action from Stamford Bridge! Be quick to claim your £200 free bet limited offer!
The Spanish forward has had a mixed time since his £50m move in January, scoring just five goals in a Chelsea shirt so far. There have been signs of better form this season, but he still hasn't hit the heights many would expect of him.
However, speaking ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash with Liverpool, Torres has spoken positively about turning his form around, saying that he is 'in a debt' to the Chelsea fans.
The 27-year-old said: "All that I need to do, above anything else, is to work. If you work and give everything and really want to do something, that is all you can be asked."
"If you do that and things do not work out, you have nothing to be ashamed of. But I am in debt to the Chelsea fans. They have always supported me."
"And I promise them the one thing I have never done and will never do in my life is give up."
Torres would certainly love to score against Kenny Dalglish's men this weekend, helping Chelsea to three points in the process. They are nine points adrift of league leaders Manchester City after all and could do with the win.
Liverpool will be in the hunt for a positive result too though. They have slipped up a few times recently – including home draws with Norwich and Swansea – and are currently three points behind the Champions League places.
This is a gap they will not want to get any bigger, so there is plenty at stake for both Chelsea and Liverpool this weekend. They have had a number of battles over the years and this is set to be another one.
This one gets underway at 4pm on Sunday afternoon.

If you are looking for a durable drone with excellent film and photography capabilities, the 3DR Solo Drone is an excellent choice. In our 3DR Solo review, we compare the Solo to three other top quality drones with great flight and camera capabilities.
Comparison Table
What Is the 3DR Solo Drone?
The 3DR Solo Drone is a durable and high-quality drone. The Solo has an integrated GPS function and has the capability to carry a GoPro action camera. The Drone is made to integrate with the GoPro for excellent photo and film capabilities.
Our 3DR Solo Review Experience
During our 3DR Solo review, we found the Solo to be a well-made drone with attention paid to the design and structure. The Solo has a flexible landing gear that reduces the impact of landing on hard ground. The drone looks great and weighs just under 10 pounds.
The 3DR is fully integrated with GoPro, so if you already love your GoPro camera, you can save money by buying a drone that can integrates with the camera you already have. If you do not have a GoPro, you will need to buy one to film with this drone. The Solo can be piloted from the simple controller and can use a smartphone for FPV. The drone has a built-in GPS to easily find its way home.
Product Specs
The 3DR Solo is a high-quality drone with a sleek design. The drone uses a GoPro and gimbal rather than a built-in camera for filming and photography, so you can be sure you will take spectacular photos. The Solo features GPS for advanced controls and can be connected to a smartphone for FPV controls. The drone has a 25-minute battery that charges quickly in around 2 hours.
In our 3DR Solo review, we found the drone to retail for around $400. The drone is available from drone retailers like Amazon.
How It Compares
We picked a few similar products available on the market to see how they compare.
3DR Solo Drone Quadcopter

Which fish first
Home › Forums › My Aquarium › Which fish first
- This topic has 0 replies, 1 voice, and was last updated 5 years, 6 months ago by Byron Hosking.
April 20, 2015 at 3:05 am #303616
Hi, I'm new here and recently back to the hobby after many years away from it. Of course things have changed and I'm amazed at the new technology i've come across so far. I've also forgotten a lot about which fish to keep and although I've done quite a lot of reading, I would like some help on what order I should buy the fish I've decided to keep.
My tank is a 55 litre cube which is doing a fishless cycle at the moment, on the recommendation of a work colleague I'm using Biomature and Bacterlife, the Biomature has finished and the Nitrite is now reducing with the Bacterlife so I'll soon be ready to start adding fish and was wondering which fish to add first.
I thought I'd just go for small fish with about half a dozen each of Aspidoras, Celestial Pearl Danios and Ember Tetra. I thought I'd leave the Aspies until last but which of the others would you advise buying first for the newly matured tank?April 20, 2015 at 5:15 pm #354465
Byron HoskingParticipant
My first comment is to note that "cycled" and "matured" (or "established," the term used in the species profiles) are two different things. A matured or established tank is one in which the biological system has basically stabilized, and this usually occurs somewhere after two months of there being fish in the aquarium. Various bacteria (the nitrifying are one set but there are several others) will establish on all surfaces covered by water, what we call a biofilm, and especially within the substrate. This requires the presence of fish as well as plants (if any).
Turning to the mentioned species, I think all of these will be too much for this small a tank, so I would suggest either just the CPD, or alternatively a mix of the Ember and Aspidoras. Of the latter two, the Aspidoras should go in last. I have found these to be particularly sensitive. And I would definitely have more than just six; a group of nine minimum, or a few more, would be better. The Ember Tetra are best in larger groups too, 10-12 or so. And the CPD are also recommended in much larger groups–our profile (Celestichthys margaritatus) recommends 20 or more, which would be best on their own for the reasons noted in the profile.
Hope this helps.

The Prime Minister, Dr Thomas Thabane says the first plenary of the Multi Stakeholders National Dialogue (FPMSND) marks a milestone in the universal implementation of reforms.
The Prime Minister made these remarks when officially closing the three-day dialogue held in Maseru on Wednesday.
He urged participants to lobby others in the districts to participate in issues of the society, noting that the next dialogue will also be in February 2019.
Dr Thabane said in line with the theme 'The Lesotho We Want: Dialogue and Reforms for National Transformation,' all must be committed to change the image of the country.
He expressed appreciation to all including the Southern African Development Community (SADC), Facilitator Justice Likgang Moseneke for contributing towards the success of reforms.
In the same token, the Deputy Prime Minister, Mr. Monyane Moleleki commended Basotho for having participated in the dialogue in large numbers, saying this is an indication that the nation wants the best out of Lesotho.
On behalf of SADC Facilitation Team, Ms. Elina Molekane stated that the engagements, though very robust enabled citizens to express their thoughts and views in issues affecting peace in the country.
"We shall take the dialogue to the districts as well, to allow members of the society to participate ahead of the second dialogue next year," she stressed.
She said she is certain that when the Prime Minister goes to the Heads of State summit, he will have something to report on as Lesotho is making progress.
The Leader of Opposition Parties in Parliament, Mr. Mathibeli Mokhothu said these reforms are aimed at addressing issues affecting the whole nation despite one's political status.
He appealed to the nation to seriously participate in transforming the nation so as to avoid becoming victims of other countries whose affairs are in order.
Meanwhile, on behalf of the 21 parties outside Parliament, Mr. Pelele Letsoela expressed concern saying the society seems to be impatient with one another, mistrusting others, things he said are not ideal towards developing the country.
As part of the dialogue, various teams made up of media, security, economy and others gave out recommendations emphasising the need to depoliticise these sectors so that they can serve the nation effectively.
Members of the National Development Planning Committee (NDPC) planned and ensured the dialogue was organised and held.
The next dialogue is expected in February 2019.

Small business owners common bookkeeping mistakes in the inceptions of their business is not having an accountant to do their books properly. Having a professional help, or an accounting software can really help you to leverage your business to the next level. Bookkeeping mistakes can be avoided if we have a clean and manageable book.
The following are 10 of the most common bookkeeping mistakes made by small business owners.
1. The Pressures of tackling bookkeeping alone
Money management is the most important task in keeping your business above water but there is no law saying you have to do it alone. There are 24 hours in each day and it is significant that as a business owner you accomplish as much as you can, putting the important tasks first. Assigning your bookkeeping tasks to a professional will first help omit errors and secondly free up some time for you to focus solely on managing your business.
2. Being Frugal can cost you more money
Every business owner wants to save and loves a good discount, but being thrifty can also cost you a pretty penny. Always think quality before quantity and as business owners, we think quantity will give us a bang for our buck. Just to be on the safe side, make sure you research products before spending money. You should also purchase products with long life spans and warranties. The best time to purchase office supplies is when items are on sale or with coupons with percentages or money off.
3. Vendor Negotiations
In most cases, small businesses usually patronize one vendor for supplies on a monthly basis. Building a relationship with your vendor would be great, it's good to know who you're purchasing from when you frequent an establishment. When you build a rapport it is easier for you to negotiate prices and longer terms, this means less out of your pockets to generate more income.
4. Minor Purchases
Major Deal to Keep Receipts Saving receipts for minor purchases may not seem like a big deal, but always remember those small purchases add up to big money in the end. Even meticulous business owners forget to save business receipts, but good thing you don't necessarily have to have receipts when claiming expenses to Uncle Sam.
5. How to Write off Major Purchases
As Immediate Expenses Visiting your local office supply store and picking up a pack of paper worth $250 can easily be written off as an expense. But, there is a difference in filing if you were to purchase a printer for the same price of $250. Due to the longevity of the printer, you would file that as an asset instead of an expense. Just because you spent the same amount of money does not mean you can file your purchases as the same deduction.
6. Charitable Tax Donations Donations
Are considered write-offs only if they are for your personal tax returns. Unfortunately, businesses are not offered the same deductions. If you've made this mistake in your books the IRS will make sure you don't make this same mistake twice. Since businesses are given recognition and advertising space etc. these gestures are not considered charitable donations.
7. Failure of keeping up with Hard Copies of your Records.
Many business owners think that keeping their records on the internet is easier, efficient and eco-friendly. In many ways that is a very good idea, or is it? Most banks only keep your business records online or "in the cloud" for a couple of months. If you don't request your statements regularly they can be erased. It is always good to have both as a business owner just to have a secure backup.
8. Reporting Accurate Sales and Payroll Taxes
This really sensitive matter is one that you should leave up to your accountant. IRS has a low tolerance for any mistakes made on sales and payroll taxes. If you do result to doing sales and payroll taxes yourself make sure you triple check your returns before sending them off to Uncle Sam, just to be on the safe side.
9. Giving Employees Free Roam with little Management
A lot of small business owners make the mistake of trusting and assigning the task of bookkeeping to a family member or close friend. While we think we have made the right decisions, later on down the line some business owners notice they have been ripped off and money has been mishandled. To avoid this problem delegate an experienced bookkeeping professional and make sure you have a system of checks and balances in place. Please DO NOT allow open access to business records without the check and balance system. It is also a good idea to review petty cash ledgers as well as canceled checks once a month to catch any issues in order to make sure minute damage is done.
10. Keeping Things Current
We all know the primary years of owning a business is exceedingly overwhelming. And not keeping up with your bookkeeping will only add to the stress. It is a good sign if you're lagging behind due to business. But that's a sign that you'll need to hire a helping hand to alleviate some pressure. Pricey inaccuracies will catch your attention quickly and your business will operate more efficiently.

The London murder rate was higher than New York City's for the first time ever recently, mainly through stabbings.
This news about the London muder rate is remarkable, considering that Britain has even more stringent gun control. But guns aren't used in many of these London murders. Rather, knives are the preferred means of killing. The other factor that is not mentioned is immigration. The only clue is the list of names of the last fifteen murder victims. Almost all of them are ethnic names rather than English names.
The Daily Mail reports, "London murder rate is HIGHER than New York's for the first time ever after TWELVE killings in just 19 days."
London's murder rate has overtaken New York City's for the first time ever as the twelfth person has been killed in just 19 days.
February marked the first month in history books that London had more murders than the American city with a total of 15 homicides. Out of the 15 killed, nine were aged 30 or younger.
Trending: The Conservative Answer to Reforming the Criminal Justice Sysytem
In March, there were 22 murders, which is likely to match if not beat out New York's numbers.
The murder epidemic continued on Sunday when a man in his twenties was fatally stabbed after leaving a bar in Wandsworth, marking the12th person to be murdered in London in 19 days.
Police have launched the latest murder investigation in the death of the unnamed young man who was stabbed to death on Easter Sunday.[…]
According to a report by the Sunday Times, New York City's murder statistics have decreased by 87 per cent since the 1990s.
Meanwhile, London's rate has grown by nearly 40 per cent in just three years, not including deaths caused by terrorist attacks.
Although New York last year had nearly double the number of murders than London, experts are concerned the gap is steadily closing.
Officials are concerned about the uptick in fatal stabbings, fearing there is a dangerous surge in knife crime.
Last year there was a total of 80 fatal stabbings in the capital – the most in almost a decade. And official figures show that 2017 was the worst year for knife deaths among young people since at least 2002.
Forty-six people aged 25 or under were stabbed to death in London, up by 21 compared with the previous year, according to police figures.
And how do politicians respond? Increased police? More detectives to solve more cases? More severe penalties?
The Met commissioner, Cressida Dick, has said reversing rising violent crime is a priority.[…]
'London must come together to make it clear that this cannot continue. We will not police our way out of this problem.'
That's the voice of the institution that bases it's legitimacy on the need of people to be defended from attack—the civil government. "We will not police our way out of this problem." So that's the decree. The slaughter will continue because your taxfeeding masters can't be bothered by the deaths of peasants.

In a recent study, "Spatiotemporal isolation of attosecond pulses in the soft X-ray water window " published in Nature Communications by the Attoscience and Ultrafast Optics Group, led by ICREA Professor at ICFO Jens Biegert, the generation of isolated attosecond pulses at the carbon K-edge at 284 eV (4.4 nm), within the water window range, was achieved.
Carbon is one of the most abundant elements in the Universe and the building block of life on earth. It is a fundamental element for both organic compounds, such as cells, lipids, carbohydrates, as well as inorganic compounds, such as those used to fabricate carbon nanotubes, graphene, organic electronics and light harvesting devices.
The availability of attosecond duration (1as=10-18s) soft X-ray pulses means that one can follow electronic motion in real time and with element specificity, i.e. at the carbon edge. The time scales permit imaging the triggering events behind bond formation and breaking, the flow of energy in organic solar cells or energy storage devices, or the inner workings of ultrafast magnetic devices or superconductors. Such capability is key for designing new transformational materials with high efficiency or for the development of petahertz electronics.
Until now and after a decade of continuous research and development, attoscience has culminated in the generation of isolated attosecond pulses at photon energies below 120 eV, due to the stringent requirements concerning laser sources. Now, the Attoscience and Ultrafast Optics Group, led by ICREA Professor at ICFO Jens Biegert, has been able to take a considerable step forward by demonstrating, for the first time, the generation of the isolated attosecond pulses at the carbon K-edge at 284 eV (4.4 nm), in the soft X-ray water window. With their experimental setup, they were able to create these ultra-short pulses with pulse duration below 400as and a bandwidth supporting a 30-as pulse duration.
The water window refers to the fact that water is transparent to soft X-rays in the range between 530 eV/2.34 nm (K-absorption edge of oxygen) and 280 eV /4.4nm (K-absorption edge of carbon), while other elements are absorbing. Aside from the incredible attosecond time resolution, the table top realization at ICFO would permit soft X-ray microscopy on the atomic level of carbon containing compounds inside living compounds and specimens.

"If you've read the description of an Indian author who has written a book recently, you may just find lurking behind that writerly façade, a doctor, a microbiologist, scientists across the spectrum. What makes them take from stethoscopes and microscopes to words?"
Another scientist who has juggled a few professions is Lalita Noronha, author of the short stories collection, Where Monsoons Cry. Starting out in the biotech world as a microbiologist, she now teaches science in a Baltimore private girls' school and writes her first drafts of novels in the summer: Coming from a family where the love of art and literature was intertwined with science (her father was a botany professor), Noronha doesn't feel the need to distinguish between science and literature. "In my family, as is with most middle-class families in small towns, the advice was, 'if you are going to do it, do it well or else, don't do it at all!' So, whatever I did my inspiration has been just as intense, whether it's teaching or writing or being a scientist." Her stories have been awarded by the Maryland State Arts Council, which she believes was instrumental in her being recognized by other institutions.
Reading their works and speaking with them, I was obviously interested in knowing what advice they may have for emerging authors, or authors who haven't as yet realized that they are writers.
Noronha suggests, "to write about what you believe in, and to publish. Hard work and inspiration is key to being published." Dr. Verghese is quite direct. He advises new writers to "read, read, read. I am amazed at the chutzpah of some who want to write without knowing what it entails. It's like listening to a symphony and then saying you want to write one."

EAST POINT, Ga. — If you have ever driven around the city of Atlanta, particularly on the south side, you may have run across a building or two with an elaborate mural on it. What many people may fail to realize is that a vast majority of those works have been commissioned by folks in the private sector and even the Mayor herself, Keisha Lance Bottoms.
Charmaine Minniefield is one such artist. The Indiana native has been an active artist for over two decades and grew up right here in the Tri-Cities near Headland & Delowe. She is also the founder of The New Freedom Project, a community-based artist initiative based out of the new ArtsXchange location in East Point.
"I focus on the idea of protecting Black narratives through my work," says Minniefield "My aesthetic is basically focused on celebrating the ancestors and specifically women."
Just within the past couple of years, Minniefield has been involved in two major commissions. She was one of the eleven artists chosen to be a part of the 'Off the Wall' project for the WonderRoot initiative and the Atlanta Super Bowl Host Committee. These artists were tasked with producing murals around the city that highlighted significant civil right figures including the famous Colin Kaepernick murals.
"Art, to me, is the heartbeat of humanity. It's where we meet and our cultures are equal," proclaims Minnifield.
Her second major project surrounds the city's annual Juneteenth Celebration. Minniefield will be creating an installation at the city's Historic Oakland Cemetery, Atlanta's oldest final resting place of many of the city's most notable citizens including 'Gone With the Wind' author Margaret Mitchell.
'Remembrance as Resistance: Preserving Black Narratives', is the title of the installation that Minniefield will be creating to recognize the over 800 recently discovered unmarked graves in the African American Grounds of the cemetery. The project has been timed to coincide with this year's Juneteenth celebration and is scheduled to conclude by the 2020 celebration.
Those of you that would like to see a few examples of her work can do so for themselves at the following locations:
Ruby Doris Smith-Robinson mural is located at 904 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive SW.
Marjorie Prothro mural is located on the Hapeville City Hall.
Ella Baker mural is located at 196 Auburn Ave. NE in Downtown Atlanta.

Scaling vs Adapting
Hands up how many of you went for Rx today. How many of you chose the scale before your started? Today's workout was a good one to try for Rx movements even if you got beaten by the clock. Most of us can do some sort of push up, sit up and air squat. Even rowing.
However, there are times when movements are programmed and for one reason or another, we know there is no way we will ever be able to do that movement, no matter how hard we train and try. So we do a different movement. Is that a scale? Or an adaptation of the original movement? For an able-bodied person, using half the prescribed weight for a snatch is a scale. But if because of permanent damage by a previous injury, a snatch is never going to be possible, changing the movement to a different movement while maintaining a similar movement pattern and functional movement theme, this is not scaling, it is adapting.
If we constantly beat ourselves up about, "Oh but I scaled", sometimes it's hard to stay positive about our performance. However, if we accept that the movement modification is one of adaptation, then although we are not completing the workout 'as prescribed on the board', technically, in our own minds at least, we have completed the workout Rx.

Skip to comments.Jay-Z Throws Kaepernick Under the Bus
Posted on 08/15/2019 12:56:02 PM PDT by Kaslin
RUSH: Jay-Z being hired by the NFL. We were going to get into this yesterday and of course time expired before I had a chance to get into it. And heres what happened: Jay-Zs real name is Shawn Carter. Hes the husband of Beyonce. And theyve put together a massive musical empire.
His net worth reportedly is a billion dollars. You should know thats not enough to own an NFL team. You need more than that to be approved for ownership. Its not enough anymore. So the NFL has hired Jay-Z essentially as music director for the Super Bowl halftime entertainment. But its going to be more than that.
Now, if you go back to the beginnings of the Kaepernick taking a knee over the Anthem and the flag at NFL games, we were told that this was being done because Kaepernick was sick and tired of the cops running around and murdering people of color. And he had had it. And as such, he couldnt stand and honor America either by way of the National Anthem or the flag.
So he took a knee. Other players joined him. The media loved it. The media ate it up. And one of his first early supporters and advocates was none other than Jay-Z. Jay-Z joined forces. Jay-Z has a sports agency group, by the way, too, called Roc Nation R-o-c Nation. Jay-Z has athletes as clients. I think what this is, I think Jay-Z wants to be an NFL owner at some point down the road, and this is a step-by-step process to try to become approvable with the NFL ownership group.
So the first thing that he did, he threw Kaepernick under the bus. Audio sound bite one, yesterday, New York City, at Jay-Zs Roc Nation entertainment company offices, he and the commissioner, Roger Goodell held a press conference to explain what Jay-Z is going to be doing here with the halftime show and presiding over that, basically being musical director and producer for the National Football League. So a reporter who remembered that Jay-Z was once in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick said, Mr. Z, would you kneel or would you stand today?
JAY-Z: I think we passed kneeling. You know, I think its time to go into actionable items. I think everyone knows what the issue is, and were done with that. Im not minimizing that part of it, cause that has to happen. Thats a necessary part of the process. But now we all know whats going on, what are we going to do, how are we going to stop? Cause the kneeling was not about a job, it was about injustice.
RUSH: Ohhh!
Jay-Z: Everyones saying, How are you going forward if Kap doesnt have a job? This wasnt about him having a job. That became a part of the discussion. He was kneeling to bring attention to injustice. Now how do we address that injustice?
RUSH: He just threw Kap overboard, folks. He said it was never about a job. He said he was never supporting Kaepernick so Kaepernick could get a job. Thats going to come as a shock to the Drive-By Media because to them all this is about is Kaepernick getting a job. They want to bring the NFL ownership to its knees. They want to force the NFL ownership to hire Kaepernick.
They would love, the sports Drive-Bys would love to force the NFL to hire Kaepernick, hire the guy who refused to honor America. Hire the guy so that they can show that they arent racist. Thats what the media wants. So here comes Mr. Z who has been hired by the NFL and he promptly throws Kaepernick overboard and said his involvement was never about getting Kaepernick a job.
Now, I want to read this may need some parsing. I think we passed kneeling, you know, I think its time to go into actionable items. Dont ask me, Im just telling you what he said. I think everyone knows what the issue is, and were done with that.
What are we done with? Are we done with kneeling? Are we done with protesting? Is that what the issue is? And were done with it? He said, Im not minimizing that part of it because that has to happen. What has to happen? Thats a necessary part of the process, but now we all know whats going on, what are we going to do? How are we going to stop? I dont know. Im sorry. I dont know.
RUSH: Ive started the Jay-Z stuff and the NFL. I want to get back to it because its fundamental to what Trump is doing. Now, to set the table again: Its 800 days since Colin Kaepernick has worked in the NFL. There are 365 days in a year. So its a little over two seasons that Kaepernick has not worked. Kaepernick began the protests against the flag and the anthem.
His stated reason for doing so was hes sick and tired of the cops murdering people of color, sick and tired of the social injustice of America. This created a number of people in the NFL also joining him in the kneeling. The media ate it up. The media loved it! The media televised all of this during the anthem, and the NFL didnt know what to do. The NFL didnt They think their audience is people that love what Kaepernick was doing. They were afraid to condemn it. They were afraid to do anything other than
They tried to throw money at these players with social justice buy-offs and any number of things. It took Donald Trump to end it. Donald Trump saved the NFL. I firmly believe that Trump saved the NFL by calling everybody out on this. Now the protests are over. The kneeling, if it happens, nobody cares. Nobody televises it. Its come and gone, and Kaepernick does not have a job. Now the Drive-By Media has had an objective since this happened, and thats to force the NFL to get Kaepernick back on a team, on a roster.
And the reason they want that is the sports Drive-Bys want to be able to force these racist, rich, white owners to have to hire the guy who was trying to bring down the league. That, to them, would be the epitome of the ultimate in social justice. And the owners have refused to do so. Now, one of the early advocates that Kaepernick had in his mission was none other than the music impresario Mr. Jay-Z, otherwise known as Shawn Carter. Mr. Z was an early ally, an early supporter.
He joined in the refrain that cops were indiscriminately murdering black people. And he wrote songs including this fact in his lyrics. In one of them in 2009, he even included me, your host, in the lyric! It claimed that I was doing something vaguely obscene to him, and I was totally Im not even aware that Ive met Mr. Z. So the NFL has hired Jay-Z, who is a rap music and hip hop impresario, to ostensibly be the music director of the NFL Super Bowl halftime extravaganza. Now, its got to be for more than that. The halftime show at the Super Bowl takes 20 minutes, max. You dont need to have somebody on payroll for the whole year to do that.
Now, the NFL claims, no, that 20 minutes, thats the biggest 20 minutes in showbiz. And this is how they think the league can expand its demographic reach, and you can tell which way they think the demographic reach ought to go by virtue of hiring Jay-Z.
So there was a press conference between the commissioner, Roger Goodell were back to sound bite one here and the newly hired director of music and halftime entertainment, Mr. Z, and after the press conference a reporter said, Mr. Z, would you kneel or would you stand today if there was a protest at a game?
JAY-Z: I think we passed kneeling. You know, I think its time to go into actionable items. I think everyone knows what the issue is, and were done with that. Im not minimizing that part of it, cause that has to happen. Thats a necessary part of the process. But now we all know whats going on, what are we going to do, how are we going to stop? Cause the kneeling was not about a job, it was about injustice. Everyones saying, How are you going forward if Kap doesnt have a job? This wasnt about him having a job. That became a part of the discussion. He was kneeling to bring attention to injustice. Now how do we address that injustice?
RUSH: Ive listened to this. Ive read this two or three times. I think I know what Mr. Z is saying. Mr. Zs saying, I didnt come on board this protest to help Kap get a job. Its never been about Kap getting a job. Kap may think its about him getting a job, but it aint. Its about the injustice. Its about white cops murdering black kids, but were done with the kneeling now. Been there, done that. Thats over with. It aint about getting Kap a job.
Well, Kaepernick is out there tweeting and all kinds of stuff. Colin Kaepernick Celebrates Three-Year Anthem Protest Anniversary with Graphic Video of Police Violence. So it aint over for Kaepernick. Hes still out there tweeting about the injustices of the cops while one of his early allies, Jay-Z, just threw him under the bus and overboard at the same time by saying the kneeling wasnt about a job; it was about injustice. Everybodys saying how are you going forward if Kap doesnt have a job. Thats the sports Drive-Bys. The sports Drive-Bys have set up this narrative that this cant end until Kaepernick gets a job. Yntil the NFL is forced to hire this guy, this cannot end.
Heres Jay-Z saying, oh, yes, it can, because it has. It is over. Now that Im part of the league, its over. Now that Im part of the league, all that stuff that went on, why, thats over with and done now. The reporter said, Did you speak to Colin Kaepernick about this? Did you talk to him about you taking this new gig with the NFL?
JAY-Z: I would never tell you what me and Kaps private conversation was about, but we spoke, yeah.
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: And is he supportive?
JAY-Z: I will never tell you about our conversation. (laughter)
RUSH: Obviously, Kaepernick is not supportive of Mr. Z taking this new gig with the NFL because Mr. Z does not want to divulge the nature of the conversation. Kaepernick is no doubt feeling sold out. Kaepernick is feeling sold down the river by one of his allies, Jay-Z, who was originally on the bus with him, protesting the injustice and whatever else was being protested. But now Kap has learned today that it was never about him. It was never about getting a job.
The sports Drive-Bys are not going to be happy about this, because to them thats all this has been about, forcing these owners to hire Kaepernick. Heres the commissioner, Roger Goodell had this to say about the leagues relationship with the players at the joint press conference with Mr. Z.
ROGER GOODELL: We listened to our players, we understood what our players were saying, and we created a platform of which to help drive change. This partnership, in addition to the entertainment aspect and bringing football and music together, is going to help us make even greater change. And we call it protest to progress. Right? We need to make progress.
RUSH: Does anybody have any idea what either of these two guys are saying? Okay, well, tell me. Protest to progress, bringing football and music together. Football and music have been together for I dont know how long. Theres nothing new about football and music. What is this?
So you tell me, Mr. Program Observer, what are these guys saying? (interruption) Okay. So what theyre saying is theyre going to make so much money but they cant talk about that being the reason theyre doing this and theyve got to tell everybody theyre doing this for justice reasons and theyre doing this for progress reasons, and theyre doing this for reasons of demographics. Theyre doing this for spreading the reach of the league to stop the protests, but actually all this is, is greed.
All this is, is the pursuit of profit, which is not greed. Let me take that back. But theyre just trying to hide the fact theyre both trying to get rich here by saying its about something other than that. Last night, one more bite here, before we have to go to the break. Harvey Levin at TMZ caught up with Mr. Z and got an interview with him and its just about 20 seconds. Very quick. Listen fast.
LEVIN: The halftime show, I thought he boycotted last years?
UNIDENTIFIED ANNOUNCER: He did!
MALE PRODUCER 1: He has completely cut the legs out from underneath Colin Kaepernick.
FEMALE PRODUCER: This is a typical Jay-Z move. He is going to go in that room, hes going to try and make it where he is speaking for people that are not in that room.
MALE PRODUCER 2: Isnt it more likely the NFLs going to hide behind Jay-Z next time they have a controversy?
FEMALE PRODUCER: Anybody who first heard about it was like, what the heck is happening?
RUSH: I misread this. This is not an interview with Jay-Z. This is TMZ throwing Jay-Z overboard. Jay-Z throws Kaepernick overboard. TMZ throws Jay-Z overboard. And basically what theyre saying is he threw Kaepernick overboard, and its a typical Jay-Z move. Hes just going in there to provide cover for the league on these racial matters and getting paid a lot of money to do so. Thats what Harvey Levins opinion is. It could well be.
RUSH: So, its clear that the NFL thinks that they are buying some cover here. And for Jay-Z, hes willing to be paid to provide the cover and so forth. I was telling people earlier today that I think Jay-Z would like to be an NFL owner, but theres problems. Some of the Jay-Z lyrics in previous songs are problematic. Hes going to have to do some things to allay any concerns owners might have.
This is going to give him direct contact with owners. Its going to give him a chance to change their thinking of him. Hes already got people like Robert Kraft in his corner. I can see a day where a team might be owned by Jon Bon Jovi and Jay-Z. (interruption) Has Beyonce weighed in? (laughing) Beyonce will be doing the halftime show every year. (interruption) Why wasnt Beyonce at the press conference? Thats a good question.
What's an NFL?
Kap's more 'washed up' than his hairdo.
Never heard of it.
Boats n Ho's
I believe it stands for National Liberation Front — another name for the Viet Cong.
"Jay-Z Throws Kaepernick Under the Bus"
I don't know what would be worse, under the bus or the back of the bus.
I despise both of them. Devil worshipping, white hating...vs...Commie white hating Muslim loving.

Only New Sprinklers Shall Be Installed Return to Blog
Only New Sprinklers Shall Be Installed
That is a base requirement that has been in the NFPA 13 standard for some time in Section 6.2.1. New material in the 2013 edition says that when a sprinkler has been removed for any reason, it shall not be reinstalled per Section 126.96.36.199. The handbook commentary for this new material says that because of concerns that sprinklers could be damaged during the removal process, this requirement was added to the 2013 edition to clarify that when a sprinkler is removed from the piping it is to be replaced with a new sprinkler. When a sprinkler is removed, damage could occur to the water seal and operating element, specifically a glass bulb type element, which could impact sprinkler performance without any visual indication.
There is a contradiction in the handbook commentary regarding the re-use of sprinklers under Section 188.8.131.52. This section addresses that reconditioned sprinklers shall not be permitted to be utilized on any new or existing system. In the commentary is a frequently asked question (FAQ) – "Where can existing installed sprinklers be utilized?" The commentary response is where sprinklers have been installed in a building on a temporary basis – for example, prior to finishing ceiling work – such sprinklers can be moved to the new location after finishing the ceiling. Another example of where an existing installed sprinkler can be moved is during the installation of a new ceiling underneath an existing ceiling, provided the sprinklers are of the proper orientation and the associated hazard has not changed. This commentary has been in the previous editions of the handbook. When the committee took action regarding Section 6.2.1 that only new sprinklers shall be installed, the commentary material may have been overlooked during the editing process and was not removed. The proposal stage for the 2013 edition of NFPA 13 attempted to provide guidance when sprinklers can be re-used. The re-use of sprinklers was opposed by several comments during the comment stage resulting in the new Section 18.104.22.168.
The bottom line is, "only new sprinklers shall be installed".
