If you've been around CUR for awhile, you know my lovelovelove for a good lippy runs deep. Give me all ye bright, bold, beautiful lipsticks, lip glosses, lip stains, lip balms – I'll wear 'em all. I am ALL ABOUT lip products. I cannot live without lip products. I may be a musical theatre girl, but I'm not being dramatic in the slightest; lippies have mah heart. The two makeup products I absolutely positively definitively cannot live without are a good mascara and a good lip. Enter, today's post, allll about the best drugstore lipsticks.
While I'm all about a fab lip, I'm not all about dropping all the dollah dollah bills on one or two products. Me in the makeup aisle:
But those bills are Washingtons and not Benjamins, so we're on a drugstore budget when it comes to a lot of lip products here, people. Granted, I have quite a few must-have lip favorites from Sephora (lookin' at you, you, aaaaand you!). But I really think certain drugstore formulas are just as good – if not better – than their expensive counterparts.
P.S. Would y'all like to see a drugstore dupes post, finding drugstore duplicates to more expensive counterparts? Sound off in le comments if so!
Here are what I'd consider to be the best drugstore lipsticks. They're my own holy grail products. Obviously as a disclaimer, I haven't tested every lipstick on the market (although come at me, lippies!). But these are my tried and true favorites and repeat purchases that I'd say are 100% worth the money when you're on your romantic walk down the makeup aisle in CVS or Walgreens. 😉
Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in 225 Sultry
- I absolutely love these balms and absolutely lovelovelove this mauvey shade! The Colorburst matte balms, from my experiences thus far, tend to have a mintier flavor to 'em; I know some chicas are against having their lips taste like their teeth, so if that's you, do not pass go. But if you don't mind a minty tingle (I don't!), these go on flawlessly, last long, and really provide smooth, even color application in my opinion. I think they're the easiest thing to throw in your bag and run with, because you can apply on the fly and they're trustworthy color! This is one of my go-to's for now-ish…that period of transitioning to FALL!
L'Oreal Colour Riche in 180 Pink Flamingo
- A gorgeous everyday pink, supposedly reminiscent of a Chanel shade. I'm not about to spend $37 on a lippy, but I can sit with 8 bucks. I was so pleasantly surprised by this formula, as it was my first ever L'Oreal lip product. It feels (+ looks) so much more expensive than it is, so it's an absolute winner in my book.
Maybelline Colorsensational in 905 Brazen Berry
- A favorite for years, and one of the best drugstore lipsticks in my opinion. I first bought this purpleish gem on a whim before ever having had experimented with bolder lippies before. And by "bolder," I mean anything other than your standard shades – no bright purples or corals or crazy cat sorta stuff. Brazen Berry is beautifully bold, though, with just the right amount of purple to feel a boost of confidence without getting self-conscious over crazy colors. I love that I can wear this shade yearround as an unexpected tint.
Rimmel London Moisture Renew Lipstick in 360 As You Want Victoria
- One swipe. Just one swipe is all you need and your pucker is ready to pout! This formula is so pigmented and so creamy – I lovelovelove. IDK who Victoria is, but she did something right!
Wet n' Wild MegaLast Lip Color in 908C Sugar Plum Fairy
- These babies are $2. YUP – TWO DOLLAHS. You'd think you'd be getting a piece of crap lipstick for $2, but I swear to you, somehow these are some of the best drugstore lipsticks. I own four of 'em in shades for every season! They're obviously not the best lipsticks on the block, but I think a cheaper lip is one of the best ways to experiment with colors when you're just not sure if you're comfortable with the season's new shade. Before splurging on a trendy hue, try it for less to see how it works against your skin tone and smile. This formula is a bit thicker, but from my experience with multiple shades in the line, it's genuinely longlasting and acts almost like a stain once the initial layer of lipstick has worn down a bit (from coffee and wine, obvi). Sugar Plum Fairy just screams winter (and Christmas – who's excited?!), amiright??
Maybelline Colorsensational in 684 Electric Pink
- I lovelovelove this brighter burst of bubblegum! It's a bit more punchy than a typical everyday pink, so it's fun to amp up your look a little. If you couldn't tell already, I'm a big fan of Maybelline lippies. They just always end up what I'm reaching for the most! AND AND AND, it's supposedly an identical dupe for YSL's $37 "Tropical Pink." I mean…obvious choice here peeps.
Covergirl Katy Kat Matte in Coral Cat
- I was sent this shade justbecause by an oh-so-sweet campaign manager I work with frequently (she's a doll!), and it quickly became a go-to in my summer collection. I'm usually a bit hesitant with corals because the wrong undertones can bring out any yellow in teeth (nothankyou), but this one works.
Pink Flamingo, Sugar Plum Fairy, Coral Cat
Electric Pink, As You Want Victoria, Brazen Berry
NYX Butter Gloss in Creme Brulee
- Guys. This. Gloss. Tho. As if I couldn't be more obsessed with the NYX Butter Glosses, the YouTube goddess Jaclyn Hill said this particular shade was her nude gloss favorite and Lord help me I was at CVS in 15 minutes to stock up. It's so dang creamy and lives up to its name: buttery. Feels divine, beautiful everyday neutral for just a touch of something sweet. Def one of the best drugstore lipsticks you need in yo' life.
Maybelline Baby Lips in 70 Pink Shock
- My friend got married in July and literally wore this as her wedding shade! It's a brighter pop of pink lip balm, giving you equal parts moisturization and colored shine. Baby Lips are just a win all around in my book, so I own a few shades (and could always use a few more). Pink Shock is just enough pop to be fun while still being a 100% everyday wear, which I lovelovelove.
LipSmackers Dr. Pepper
- You're lying if you say you don't have one of these at the bottom of your makeup bag. It's not like LipSmackers is a new thing – every 90's baby in the house knows 'em all too well. I always loved the Dr. P flavah, so swiping this one from time to time is the perfect mix of moisturizing sheen and sweet nostalgia.
What're your own holy grail drugstore lipsticks and lip products?
I'm always on the hunt for the best drugstore lipsticks, so drop your favorites in a comment below! I've gotta feeling a drugstore run will be in order soon…
And let me know if you'd like a drugstore dupes post in le future! Peace & blessins.

Grawlix, &$(#*&@!
A good use for some Dingbats! Grawlix was coined by Mort Walker. He also came up with words for various imaging elements in cartooning as presented in his book of 1980, The Lexicon of Comicana. Words like Plewds 'Flying sweat droplets that appear around a character's head when working hard or stressed.' or Agitrons 'Wiggly lines around an object that is shaking.' More at the Wikipedia link.
Nice to know there is a jargon for such stuff!

Sam Gamgee's poem to the Troll.
Troll sat alone on his seat of stone,As a Senior in High School I memorized this poem. It is still one of my favorites. There is a full transcription of the poem by J.R.R Tolkien, with comments, at Troll sat alone on his seat of stone.
And munched and mumbled a bare old bone;
For many a year he had gnawed it near,
For meat was hard to come by.
Done by! Gum by!
In a cave in the hills he dwelt alone,
And meat was hard to come by.
I can still recite large parts of it.

A new word in the updated Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Mondegreen is a fun word to know about.
Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy. A kid'll eat ivy, too. Wouldn't you?Is a prime example, though nonsense. The term Mondegreen comes from Percy's Reliques:
...[From] part of a popular nonsense song of 1943 called "Mairzy Doats"--per ASCAP Hit Tunes booklet, written by Milton Drake, Al Hoffman,and Jerry Livingston. The beginning is more or less rendered:
Mairzy doats and doazy doats, and little lamzi tivy. A kiddely tivy too, Wood'n you?
Ye Highlands and ye Lowlands,Where the final line is actually "And laid him on the green."
Oh, where hae ye been?
They hae slain the Earl Amurray, [sic]
And Lady Mondegreen.
I always thought a line from an old tune was "Just for your coveted sequence." when it is actually "Just for you, covered in sequins."

- ghoti is pronounced: fish, 'gh' as in tough, 'o' as in women and 'ti' as in motion! Attributed to George Bernard Shaw by some. Visit GHOTI for a rant against this "joke" about english pronuciation.
- Phtholognyrrh pronounced: Turner, According to a Mr. Turner who insisted on signing his name that way according to Robert M. Rennick in I Didn't Catch Your Name, Verbatim® Vol. XXix, No2. Mr Turner explains: " Look, the phth is like phthisic, which is pronounced t; olo is like colonel, which is pronounced ur; gn as in gnat is pronounced n; and yrrh as in myrrh, is pronounced er. So you have Turner. Nothing could be simpler." Reader's Digest, Jan . 1941, p. 42

Design of Laminate Based on Classical Lamination Theory"
The word "composite" in composite material signifies that two or more materials are combined on a macroscopic scale to form a useful material. The key is the macroscopic examination of material different materials can be combined on a microscopic scale, such as in alloying, but the resulting material is macroscopically homogenous. The advantage of composites is that they usually exhibit the best qualities of there constituents and often some qualities that neither constituent possesses. The properties that can be improved by forming a composite material include.
1. strength
2. stiffness
3. corrosion resistance
4. wear resistance
5. attractiveness
6. weight
7. fatigue life
8. temperature dependant behavior
9. thermal insulation
10. acoustical insulation
Naturally not all of the above properties are improved at the same time nor is there usually any requirement to do so.
There are three commonly accepted types of composite materials
1 fibrous composite which consist of fibers in a matrix
2 laminated composites which consist of layer of various materials 3 particulate composites which are composite of particles in matrix
Long fibers in various forms are inherently much stiffer and stronger than the same material in bulk form. For example ordinary plate glass fractures at stresses of only a few thousand PSI yet glass fibers have strengths of 400000 to 700000 PSI in commercially available forms and about 1000000 PSI in laboratory prepared forms. Obviously, then the geometry of a fiber is somehow crucial to the evaluation of its strength and must be considered in structural applications. More properly, the paradox of a fiber having different properties from the bulk form is due to the more perfect structure of a fiber. The crystals are aligned in the fiber along the fibers axis. Moreover, there are fewer internal defects in fibers than in bulk material. For example, in materials that have dislocations, the fiber form has fewer dislocations than the bulk form.
A fiber is characterized geometrically not only by its very high length to diameter ratio by its near crystal sized diameter. Strength and stiffnesses of a few selected fiber materials are shown in the following table
|Fiber or wire |Density,ρ |Tensile strength S|S/ρ |Tensile stiffness,E |E/ρ | | |Lb/in3 | |105 in. |106 lb/in2 |107 in. | | | |Lb/in2 | | | | |Aluminum |.097 |90 |9 |10.6 |11 | |Titanium |.170 |280 |16 |16.7 |10 | |Steel |.282 |600 |21 |30 |11 | |E-glass |.092 |500 |54 |10.5 |11 | |S-glass |.090 |700 |78 |12.5 |14 | |Carbon |.051 |250 |49 |27 |53 | |Beryllium |.067 |250 |37 |44 |66 | |Boron |.093 |500 |54 |60 |65 | |Graphite |.051 |250 |49 |37 |72 |
Naturally , fibers are of little use unless they are bounded together to take the form of structural elements which can take loads .the binder materials is usually...

By: Bruce Buchanan, Sebelist Buchanan Law
Cloudwick Technologies Inc., a California-based IT company, has agreed to pay $173,044 to 12 employees for violations of the federal H-1B foreign labor certification program after an investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division (WHD). Additionally, Cloudwick has also enrolled in an enhanced compliance agreement requiring them to hire an independent third-party monitor to help ensure future compliance.
WHD investigators found the company paid impacted employees well below the wage levels required under the H-1B program based on job skill level, and also made illegal deductions from workers' salaries. As a result, some of the H-1B employees that Cloudwick brought from India with promised salaries of up to $8,300 per month instead received as little as $800 net per month.
The Trump administration is touting this agreement as another victory for "Buy American, Hire American." Susana Blanco, Wage and Hour Division District Director in San Francisco stated "The intent of the H-1B foreign labor certification program is to help American companies find the highly skilled talent they need when they can prove that a shortage of U.S. workers exists. The resolution of this case demonstrates our commitment to safeguard American jobs, level the playing field for law-abiding employers, and protect guest workers from being paid less than they are legally owed."
Cloudwick provides data solution services to major corporations nationwide, including American Express, Bank of America, Apple, Cisco, Comcast, Intuit, Safeway, Verizon, Visa, and many others.

One aspect where Windows XP Home excels is its enhanced multimedia features. Installing cameras and scanners is a breeze, Windows Media Player is superb, and the customisable My Documents folder allows you to organise and view all your multimedia files with ease. This column we will look at a variety of options that allow you to customise your My Documents, My Music and My Pictures folders.
It is important to remember that the My Documents folder is basically a shortcut to a folder which is found under C:\Documents and Settings. Each user has their own personalised folder, so if you save a file in the My Documents folder when logged in under one name don't expect to be able to find the file in the same location if you log in as someone else.
You can access other users' document folders by browsing My Computer. If you would prefer to keep your My Documents folder private (which means other users who log in will be denied access to your files), then right-click the folder, select Properties and click on the Sharing tab. Under 'Local sharing and security', tick the 'Make this folder private' checkbox. After securing your folder, any files that you wish to share with other users can be made public by dragging them to the Shared Documents folder.
Folders that store multimedia files can take on special appearances depending on the kind of files they contain. A folder containing an entire music album can display the cover art of the album if Windows Media Player has downloaded the image. Folders containing images can have tiny thumbnails displayed on the actual folder icon to remind you what the folder contains; when you open the folder, the images can be displayed as thumbnails, in a filmstrip or as traditional icons. To change how folder and file icons are displayed, open the View menu at the top of the screen and select the desired format.
File details can also be customised to match the type of content stored in a folder. For example, the My Music folder can display columns for artist, album title and duration, and the My Pictures folder can display columns for image dimensions and photo date. To set the details you want displayed for a specific folder, open the View menu and select Choose Details… You can then select your desired details as well as change the order in which they appear from left to right (FIGURE 1). When you have customised the look of a folder, right-click the folder and select Properties. From here, you can save your customised changes as a template and apply the changes to all sub-folders.
The My Music folder is the default location for all your Windows Media Audio (WMA) and MP3 files. The My Music task pane provides options to play all the selected files, copy your music files to an audio CD, or to shop for music online. Playing or copying the selected files will simply open a session in Windows Media Player with your selection. The online shopping link lets you buy CDs online, but you would be better off shopping locally at sites such as www.sanity.com.au or www.hmv.com.au.
Most users, especially those who dabble with digital photography, will find the My Pictures folder very useful. Viewing images as thumbnails or as a slideshow is very convenient; to view as slideshow, select View as a slide show from the My Pictures task pane (FIGURE 2).
The Photo Printing Wizard provides a step-by-step process to turn your digital photos into something more traditional that can be stuck into a photo album. You can open this wizard by selecting Print pictures from the My Pictures task pane. With this wizard, your images appear in a thumbnail view with a check box in the upper-right-hand corner of each image. Simply check the photos you wish to print, select the printer to send them to, and then select which kind of layout you want. Layouts include full page, contact sheet, 8x10in, 5x7in, 4x6in, 3.5x5in and wallet prints.
The Online Print Ordering Wizard is also available from the My Pictures task pane. As good an idea as it is, unfortunately, it never seems to work.TIP:
Many features associated with the My Documents folder are built into the Explorer task pane. This task pane will be hidden if you have any Explorer Bars enabled, so be sure to remove all the Explorer Bars via the View menu.

With winter here, your kids will be eager to make a snowman or three ... only let's be honest: weather conditions don't always cooperate. Either it's too cold, or not cold enough, or there's just not enough snow to get things going. But if your kids are bummed, why not try a warm winter craft indoors that'll scratch the same itch?
As these fun ideas make abundantly clear, your kids can build a snowman out of socks, gumballs, bottles, even your fridge! To bring some winter cheer indoors, read on.
Can you believe #8 requires no sewing at all? So cute!

Hi guys! After a bunch of mishaps, my fiance and I decided to run away with our closest family and friends to get married but we still want our extended families to feel included in the wedding festivities. When we come back home we are going to have a reception somewhere around Fort Worth, TX for everyone. I'm looking for something under $1,000 where we can bring our own caterer that's really low key but still nice. We just want everyone to show up and have a good time. We will have 80-100 guests. In my mind the perfect place would be indoors but have windows all around with tons of natural light. Something that lets the natural beauty surrounding it shine. I am definitely not looking for anything with flourescent lighting and concrete floors that I have to spend hundreds of dollars decorating for it to look nice. If you have any ideas please let me know! We were considering renting a shelter at Trinity Park but I am hoping to find something closed in with more restrooms.

Flight Paths
Below, you can find an at-a-glance summary of all our articles, blog posts and news to do with Flight Paths.
You can now watch and track the London City aircraft as they arrive and depart. You can see the flight paths they use and, by inserting your postcode, you can see what happens over your home: https://travislcy.topsonic.aero/
HACAN East HAS released this very human video where local people are giving a heartfelt message to the airport: https://youtu.be/6dMy7cGUVo4
South East London – No Respite from aircraft noise
Our sister organisation HACAN today (13/8/18) published an important report by Forest Hill resident Tim Walker outlining what happens when London City and Heathrow airports combine to create community noise hotspots in south east London
Using London SE23 as an example, the paper aims to make clear to policymakers, campaigners and the two airports what the problems for communities are with the introduction of concentrated flight paths (City Airport) and separate development of the two London airport flight paths.
Noise from arriving London City Airport aircraft combined with departing and arriving Heathrow aircraft blights thousands of south east London homes, with no respite.
City Airport's low altitude air superhighways, beginning in Feb 2016, have resulted in a perfect storm of aircraft noise for many SE London residents.
Respite means scheduled relief from aircraft noise for a period of time. There are community noise hotspots in SE London that receive no respite from 6.30am to 10pm nearly every day of the year.
Read the full report: http://hacan.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/No-aircraft-noise-respite-for-London-SE23-August-2018.pdf
HACAN East has learnt that the much-delayed report by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) into London City's concentrated flight paths is now expected within weeks. London City controversially concentrated its flight paths in February 2016. The CAA is required to assess its first year of operation. Its report was initially due out last year. The airport received a record number of complaints following the introduction of the concentrated flight paths. There has been pressure from communities, local authorities, politicians (including the Mayor of London) for them to be changed.
Read the official response from HACAN East to the Heathrow Airspace Consultation : http://hacan.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/HACAN-East-response-to-Heathrows-Airspace-Consultation.pdf
At last night's People's Question Time (where the London Mayor and London Assembly members answer questions from the public) in Dagenham on 2nd November there was cross-party support from London Assembly members to end the concentrated flight paths London City Airport introduced last year. Caroline Russell, who speaks for the Greens on transport at the London Assembly, joined Conservative Keith Prince, the chair of the assembly's transport committee, the deputy chair Liberal Democrat Caroline Russell and Labour's Len Duvall in opposition to the flight paths. The local MP Jon Cruddas also backed the call for them to go.
Since London City concentrated its flight paths in early 2016 complaints to the airport have increased fourfold. The Civil Aviation Authority is currently studying a report produced by the airport into the first year's operation of the flight paths and is expected to make recommendations by the end of the year.
John Stewart, chair of HACAN East, which campaigns against the concentrated flight paths, said, "The message from the politicians was clear. These flight paths must go. They must be replaced by a system where the noise is shared around more fairly."
550% increase in complaints to City Airport following introduction of concentrated flight paths
Complaints to London City Airport have gone up by 550% since the introduction of the new concentrated flight paths. The figures were revealed in the airport's 2016 Annual Performance Report, published yesterday (1). Last year there were nearly 400 complaints, up from 95 in 2015. In its report, London City admits the increase is down to the concentrated flight paths which were introduced in February 2016: "The spike in complaints, particularly from areas outside Newham, can likely be attributed to the implementation of Phase 1a of the London Airspace Management Plan (LAMP) which occurred at London City Airport from 4 February 2016." LAMP was the plan which concentrated the flight paths.
John Stewart, chair of HACAN East which gives a voice to residents under the flight paths, said "This dramatic jump in complaints comes as no surprise to us. It reflects what we have been hearing. It is essential that the airport reconsiders its decision to concentrate all its flight paths".
The release of the complaint figures comes just a week after the London Mayor Sadiq Khan called for an end to the concentrated flight paths. In an answer to a question from Green London Assembly member Caroline Russell, he said, "It is clear that the concentrated flight paths introduced by London City Airport are not working. We will continue to raise the issue with London City Airport. We also continue to make the case to the CAA that there must be a fairer distribution of flight paths that will address the severe noise impacts.
At present the Civil Aviation Authority is assessing a report from London City into the operation of the concentrated flight paths. It is expected to make its recommendations in the next month or two.

London Mayor backs campaigners' call for end to concentrated flight paths
London Mayor Sadiq Khan has backed campaigners' calls for London City to end its concentrated flight paths. Below is the Mayor's written answer to a question put to him by Green Assembly member Caroline Russell
London City Airport - noise complaints
Question No: 2017/2794
Caroline Russell
According to London City Airport's statistics, presented to its Consultative Committee, since City Airport introduced concentrated flight paths, noise complaints from residents have increased four-fold in 2016, compared with the previous year. Will you press London City Airport to review their concentrated flight paths and clarify the steps they are taking to guarantee communities a break from aviation noise?
Written response from the Mayor
It is clear that the concentrated flight paths introduced by London City Airport are not working. Valerie Shawcross, my Deputy Mayor for Transport, met with London City Airport to raise these concerns with the Airport directly and press them on steps they can take. As part of the statutory airspace process, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is scheduled to undertake a review of the changes this year. We will continue to raise the issue with London City Airport. We also continue to make the case to the CAA that there must be a fairer distribution of flightpaths that will address the severe noise impacts.

Campaigners present 'flight path' cake to caa
On Friday 28th July HACAN East campaigners handed a 'flight path' cake to Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to remind them of their opposition to City Airport's concentrated flight paths (at a time CAA looking at City Airport's report into the first year of operation of the flight paths). The CAA is expected to make recommendations in September regarding the flight paths. The CAA very much entered into the spirit of this fun event, but with a serious purpose.
This is taken from a paper produced by Gatwick Area Conservation Group, which represents residents impacted by Gatwick Airport, but people around most airports will share the emotions it describes when a new flight path unexpectedly comes their way......
Stage 1. Astonishment.
'What are all these planes suddenly flying over our house? We've never had it like this before. OK yes, the occasional one once or twice an hour but these are absolutely nose-to-tail! Why haven't we been told? Is it just a trial or is it going to be permanent?'
Stage 2. Anxiety.
'I'm not sure we can live with this. We can't go out-of-doors, can't open the windows, we feel trapped in a hermetically sealed prison. Perhaps we should sell our house, move to somewhere quiet? But that means our children having to go to a new school and us leaving all our friends behind. And anyway this new flight path has knocked thousands of pounds off the value of our house, so we would have to make do with somewhere smaller.6 Trapped, with no escape! It's all getting on my nerves. No wonder it causes heart attacks and strokes.'
Stage 3. Anger
'Why weren't we told? Meeting in the town hall – never heard about it. Parish Council objected – of course no one takes any notice of them. All this misery just for more and more cheap holidays, stag and hen nights. And I hear that airlines don't pay any fuel tax or any VAT. Why should those bastards get all the benefit and we don't get a penny in compensation for having our lives ruined?'
Stage 4. Determination
'We hear there's a local protest group started, and hundreds have already joined. So will we. We've got to fight this injustice. Worth subscribing generously if only we could get this flight path moved.'
Stage 5. Action
Protest group employs noise experts. Considers judicial review but usually finds it too costly. And each protest group encourages its members to write to the airport, or to NATS, or to the CAA, or to the DfT, or to local MPs, or to all of them. Thousands of emails are written, many addressed to the chief executives. Judicial review is sometimes successful.
Stage 6. Fury
The CAA confirms the route. The thousands of emails are ignored. Experts are over-ruled. Hard luck! No compensation. Distrust of the system….. in a recent case 17,000 objections were consigned to the waste bin because most of them came from outside the 57 leq contour, a ridiculous excuse when the Government is proposing to reduce the standard metric to 51 leq…
Stage 7. Despair
Gloom and resignation but with an enduring hate and distrust of the airport and all the bodies that are supposed to regulate the environmental impact of aviation.
NB: There is still hope for residents impacted by London City! The airport has not ruled out looking again at its concentrated flight paths later this year.
The full Gatwick paper can be found here: http://www.gacc.org.uk/resources/GACC%20Airspace%20Design%20response%20.pdf
On February 2nd the Department for Transport (DfT) launched its Airspace Consultation. It is a national consultation. The closing date for responses is 25th May.
On the same day the DfT launched its consultation on a 3rd runway at Heathrow. For more details of that consultation visit the website of HACAN, our sister organisation: www.hacan.org.uk
HACAN East broadly welcomes the Airspace Policy Consultation. Below we summarise the key points.
You can find the consultation at:
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/589099/uk-airspace-policy-consultation-executive-summary.pdf (summary). Responses to be emailed to email@example.com
Remember, in order to respond, you don't need to be an expert. Just say what you think and explain how aircraft noise affects you. But also feel free to use the points below.
Key points
The concentration of London City Airport's flight paths in February 2016 caused a lot of grief across many communities. The introduction of concentrated flight paths at Gatwick also resulted in a huge number of complaints. The reaction of residents at London City and Gatwick to their concentrated flight paths was one of the things that persuaded the Department of Transport to produce this Airspace Policy Consultation. And it contains much that residents under London City flight paths will welcome.
It is proposing much more public engagement before new flight paths are introduced or changes are made to existing flight paths. This is to be welcomed.
It says that multiple routes are an option to avoid concentration over particular communities. This is welcomeIt argues that noise should be the key issue when flying planes below 4,000 ft and only one of the factors between 4,000 and 7,000 ft. That would be a continuation of the current situation. On the basis of where complaints come to us, HACAN East argues that noise should be the main consideration up until at least 6,000ft.
It proposes an Independent Noise Authority, ICCAN. It proposes a fully independent body; advisory rather than regulatory. Funding would come from Government to pay for a Board and a Secretariat. It would be housed within the CAA but independent of it. Local communities generally welcome the setting up of an Independent Noise Authority but will want guarantees that it will be truly independent and will have teeth.
It is proposing new metrics to replace the 57 decibel contour as 'the onset of community annoyance'. This 57 decibel contour has been much criticized as not reflecting reality. For example, places like Leyton and Leytonstone are outside the 57 contour yet ircraft noise is clearly a problem. The DfT proposes replacing it with a 54 decibel contour and even, on occasion, with a 51 decibel contour. These are overdue changes which will reflect more accurately the areas where noise is a problem.
Research carried out by the campaign group HACAN has confirmed that Waltham Forest is the third most overflown borough in London (1). Although Hounslow and Richmond occupy first and second place, the survey revealed that only three of the top 12 most overflown boroughs are in West London.
HACAN calculated the combined impact of Heathrow and London City aircraft on each borough. It didn't factor in the heights of the planes; only the number flying over each borough. It follows up a similar study carried out in 2009. It also put Hounslow, Richmond and Waltham Forest in the top three positions.
HACAN chair John Stewart said, "Our survey once again shows that aircraft noise is not just confined to West London. It has become a London-wide problem. Somewhere like Waltham Forest is bombarded by planes from both Heathrow and London City airports."
HACAN found that the most significant change from the 2009 survey was the reduction in the number of flights over some of the inner London boroughs such as Camden and Islington. This was matched by an increase in flights over the South East London boroughs of Lewisham, Southwark and Lambeth. It put it down to the introduction of concentrated London City flight paths over these boroughs plus the fact that aircraft coming into land at Heathrow appear to be crossing the Thames further east than was previously the case.
The study comes out at the start of an important year for aviation. In a few weeks the Government is expected to release its consultation document on a Heathrow third runway as well as a consultation on future airspace strategy.
south london flight paths meeting
HACAN East held a Public Meeting in Catford on 7th December about the impact of London City Airport's concentrated flight paths. The impact on South London has been considerable, affecting communities in Eltham, Lee, Catford, Dulwich, Brixton, Stockwell and Vauxhall. Before the decision to concentrate the flight paths planes from City Airport were dispersed across a wide swathe of South London and resulted in few complaints from the area. Amongst the speakers were Len Duvall, the London Assembly member for Greenwich and Lewisham, and the local MP Heidi Alexander.
Leytonstone residents engraged about concentrated flight paths
By Laura O'Callaghan Waltham Forest Guardian, 5/10/16
People living under a flight path of London City Airport say they are "enraged" that they were not consulted about the increase in air traffic. The airport were given the paths in February meaning more planes will fly in a narrower space, which people say is impacting their sleep and quality of life. Michael Plant, who lives in Leytonstone, said the problem has got so bad that he is sleep deprived and almost crashed his car one day. The 45-year-old said: "It is just a complete nightmare. I might as well be sitting in the middle of a runway. "For eight months I was having between three and five hours sleep a night and I started to get migraines. "I ended up nearly crashing the car on the way to Sussex one day and I had to turn around and go back home. "Sometimes I hear the planes as early as 4.30am and they come every 50 seconds and I have to go out of the house just to keep myself sane." Mother-of-two Saci Lloyd, who lives in Leytonstone, said she is angry that the airport didn't consult residents and she feels there is no need for all the flights. The author said: "I feel enraged that they can do this without a public consultation. "It makes me feel powerless and like I am not being listened to, "Many of the planes are not full and they are carrying businessmen to Amsterdam and Geneva who could make a call instead. "Even when it's hot I have to close the windows because of the noise and my son gets woken up early in the morning." Steve Cushion, of Fladgate Road, Leytonstone, has lived in the area for 35 years. The 66-year-old said: "I think it is disgusting and I see no reason for building an airport in central London just so a few business men can save half an hour to get in and out. "I would like it to close but I realise it is really unlikely. "I want a reduction of their flights so I can sit outside in my garden because now it is not pleasant hearing planes all the time." Chair of Forest Residents' Association, Vaseem Gill - www.vaseemgill.com , who has lived in Leytonstone for 30 years, said: "When my family sits out in our garden and a plane passes we cannot hear ourselves talk. "Also, when we go for a nice leisurely walk in the forest nearby it is annoying because there are planes constantly overhead." A spokesman for London City Airport said: "From February this year, the airport was required to replicate its existing flight paths to enable a new form of aircraft navigation, as part of a wider programme to modernise airspace over south east England. "In practice, this means aircraft fly the same routes as previously, but more accurately. "A new system for arrivals was also introduced, positioning aircraft over the Thames Estuary to reduce time flying over residential areas.
Flights over Leyton, Leytonstone and Wanstead on 26th August 2016. Heathrow flight paths in blue taken from Webtrak between 5am and 11pm. London City flight paths in red taken from Travis Tracker between 9.30am and 11pm.

Concentrated flight paths bring a flood of complains
London City Airport's decision to concentrate all its flights paths earlier this year has resulted in a flood of complaints. HACAN East, which gives a voice to residents under the flight paths, today launched a short report outlining some of the complaints they received in just one month - read report: HACAN East booklet
John Stewart, chair of the campaign group, said, "We have received dozens of complaints over the last month. The hot weather has made people particularly aware of the planes. The concentrated flight paths have brought complaints from many areas for the first time. The complaints have come from vast swathes of east and south east London."
One person in south London said, "We have gone from having little or no flights to one every 3 minutes. Some of us have spent a lifetime trying to get on the housing ladder only for this to happen."
Another wrote: "I moved to Dagenham from Kingsland Road in Hackney in 2014 because my family & I wanted more peace and quiet; now it's noisier than living on Kingsland Road in Hackney; we are heart-broken."
Stewart said that HACAN East has met with the airport who said they 'have not closed their mind' to looking again at the concentrated flight paths but will not do so until next year after the Government has issued its forthcoming consultation on national airspace policy.
Over the summer months we have had a steam of emails and phone calls from people disturbed by the new flight paths. They have come from huge swathes of east and south London.
This is a short update on the situation.
We have had meetings with both the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and the airport in the light of the fact that the airport is required to review the concentrated flight paths. It seems clear from the meetings that the CAA does not consider it to be within its remit to initiate change but it will assess any changes the airport process. The airport told us that by February 2017 they need to produce a report for the CAA on whether the flight paths have achieved their purpose in operational terms. The CAA will comment on that report by May 2017.
But, more encouragingly, the airport did tell us it 'has not closed its mind' to some form of respite. They may look at that about this time next year. The Government is expected to consult on its airspace policy either later this year or early next year and City Airport wants to see what that says before looking again at its concentrated flight paths.
Meanwhile we have set up a group of MPs, GLA members and senior local councillors to keep pressure on the airport.
Despair at CAA gives Go-Ahead for Concentrated Routes

Despair in East London as CAA approves new concentrated flight paths
Campaigners may mount legal challenge
Many residents in East London are in despair following yesterday's announcement by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) that it will allow London City Airport to concentrate its flight paths (1). Campaign group HACAN East is considering legal action against the CAA.
Departure routes will be concentrated places like Bow, parts of Leyton, Leytonstone, Wanstead, Dagenham and parts of Havering. Areas of South London will also experience more concentrated routes.
The decision follows uproar at the lack of consultation on the proposals last year. City Airport just put a technical document on its website and inform the Consultative Committee. It was left to HACAN East to hold public meetings in the areas which would be affected. The airport argued that, because the change was largely replicating what was already happening, it was only required by the CAA to carry out a minimal consultation.
Local people, backed by many local authorities, MPs and members of the Greater London Authority, said that a full consultation should have been carried out as some areas would get 30% more planes than they do at present. The CAA was inundated with letters calling for a fresh consultation. Yesterday's announcement means that the CAA has ruled out a new consultation.
HACAN East chair John Stewart said, "Many people will be in utter despair of the decision. It means that residents who were hardly overflown at all by planes from London City a few years back face (2) the prospect of living under a concentrated flight path for the rest of their lives. It is a terrible prospect."
Stewart added, "The CAA is already under fire for its attitude towards residents around Heathrow and Gatwick. It is simply wrong that a body largely funded by the aviation industry should be taking these decisions. In our view it is not fit for purpose to have these responsibilities. We are discussing a possible legal challenge with our lawyers."

The JNode project has released a new version of their Java-based operating system. Apart from a small nanokernel written in assembler, JNode is written entirely in Java. The reason for undertaking this effort is to provide those that like the idea of a Java operating system something to work with. Obviously, version 0.2.8 improves JNode in several areas.

It is in assembler, I don't think nobody will ever try (again) to write a POSIX compatible OS in assembler, it is Java anyway, not C so I don't think they need posix API anyway, java is crossplateform by design so they should have everything the need (in therm of API) in Java itself. It is not a bad idea after all, Java on Unix and Windows mostly suck, if they can make someting dedicated to run java apps, it -may- run faster a little.
P.S: I hate Java

It's designed for just the skull and antlers to mount on the front. The piece in the middle is just to give the mount depth and cast a better shadow on the wall.

Nice! I have a nice elk skull, now I am just on the hunt for a nice piece of wood! Who would have thought the wood used in the mount would be tougher for me to find than the elk? Anyways, nice job

Instagram hires new brand exec to ramp up ad efforts
It was all the way back in November of last year that Instagram first began running its first ads to a big, successful numbers. Frankly, there has seemed to be much movie since then. Now, though, the Facebook-owned company is finally about to step up its ad game in a big way.
James Quarles, who has been Regional Director Facebook EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) will be transitioning over to a new role: as Global Head of Business and Brand Development at Instagram, it has been confirmed by an Instagram spokesperson to VatorNews.
Quarles will be reporting directly to Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom, and will manage both the company's marketing, and its sales, teams.
While the company spokesperson could not share with me what Quarles' official start date in his new job would be, they would say that "he'll be relocating to the Menlo Park office in the fall."
Advertising, of course, is the chief way that Facebook makes its money. In its more recent quarter, advertising revenue was $2.68 billion, out of a total of $2.91 billion. Obviously, Facebook wants to apply the same model to Instagram. But the only way to do that is to expand the company's brand partners and monetization products.
Given Quarles' three and a half years of experience in the company's London office, where he was in charge of managing brands and partnerships, he seems to be pretty qualified for the job.
"I've gotten to know James over the last several months and I'm impressed by his leadership, his energy, and his experience," Systrom said in a statement to Vator.
"He has worked closely with the top brands in the world, he's built a fantastic team globally, and most important, he understands the Instagram community, our values, and our goals for marketers on the platform. I can't wait to have him join the team here in Menlo Park."
"Instagram is an important and special place, a daily source of inspiration and expression. I'm excited to work with Kevin and the team to develop valuable ways for brands and businesses to engage with the community," Quarles told us. "An important part of this process will require us to be thoughtful about how brands contribute to the experience, while driving meaningful results for marketers around the world."
Instagram's first ad, a picture of a gold watch, on a table, with some macarons next to it from designer Michael Kors, was a big success: it brought Kors a slew of new followers; 33,000 of them to be exact. That means that his number of followers jumped 16 times, from the 2,138 he was gaining on average.
The ads that the site runs look are meant to look like any other Instagram picture that you might see, except for big blue "sponsored" label in place of the time stamp. Clicking on the link will bring users to a page explaining how advertising works on Instagram.
This news was first reported by ReCode on Wednesday.

BOWMANVILLE—Cole Custer, an 18-year-old race driver from Ladera Ranch, Calif., who learned to race on road courses from Canadian Tire Motorsport Park co-owner Ron Fellows, won the pole Saturday for Sunday's Chevrolet Silverado 250 NASCAR truck race.
At, fittingly, Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.
Custer's fast time of one minute, 19.175 seconds — 111.808 m.p.h. — was just short of a half-second faster than second-place Austin Cindric of Columbus, Ohio, who turned a lap of 1:19.585 seconds (111.232 m.p.h.) and third-place qualifier Daniel Hemric of Kannapolis, N.C., who went around in 1:19.777 seconds (110.964 m.p.h).
Thirty-two cars are expected to take the green flag for the Camping World Truck Series race at 2:30 p.m. The third-last round of the NASCAR Canada Pinty's Series for late-model stock cars will start at 11:05 a.m.
Custer, driving in his first full season of truck racing after racing part-time since 2014, paid tribute to Fellows after Saturday's qualifying.
"Chevrolet paid for some of us truck drivers to go down to Las Vegas to Ron's Corvette racing school (all of the NASCAR truck races are on oval tracks except this one) and he's a really good teacher. I can't thank him enough. He definitely helped me a lot."
Cindric, 17, is the son of Tim Cindric, president of Roger Penske's racing organization Team Penske. Unlike Custer, who's not particularly familiar with CTMP, Cindric has raced here on several occasions and won a sports car race a year ago in a Ford Mustang.
Asked if he anticipated racing for his father at some point, Cindric said anything is possible.
"For me, my career is all about diversity," he said. "I like being able to get into all the different kinds of cars I can drive. If I can get the opportunity to get into an IndyCar I'd love to. But if the opportunity to get into a top NASCAR ride came along, I'd love that too. For me, it's four wheels and a lot of horsepower and good people around me."
Top Canadian in qualifying was Calgary's Cameron Hayley; the 20-year-old will go off seventh. Next was Gary Klutt, 25, of Halton Hills, who will start 15th. D.J. Kennington, 39, of St. Thomas, will start 23rd.
Surprisingly, some of NASCAR's biggest truck stars didn't do as well as expected Saturday. Points leader William Byron, who recently signed a long-term contract with Hendrick Motorsports of Sprint Cup fame and was expected to compete for the pole position, could only qualify fifth. Rico Abreu, subject of a Saturday Star story, will start 19th.
Earlier, Alex Tagliani won the pole for Sunday morning's Pinty's series race with a time of 1:22.770 seconds, which translates into a speed of 106.962 m.p.h.
Tagliani, of Lachenaie, Que., just edged Kevin Lacroix, of Saint-Eustache, Que., and Andrew Ranger, of Roxton Pond, Que., for the honours.
Lacroix qualified at 1:23.011 (106.641 m.p.h.) while Ranger zipped around the 2.45-mile circuit in 1:23:211 (106.385 m.p.h).

Fruit Piroshki Recipe4 years ago

Apple's non-Retina 13-inch MacBook Pro will be discontinued later this year, bringing an end to the non-Retina MacBook Pro line, and built-in optical drives in any Mac model. If the sources sharing the information are correct, that will leave just the MacBook Air without a high resolution Retina Display.
News of the planned product end come via sources speaking with DigiTimes. While DigiTimes doesn't always have the most reliable of sources, they are correct even if they have the timing wrong. Apple will discontinue the non-Retina 13-inch MacBook Pro at some point.
Sources for reports like this are often from the parts supply chain and not high-level managers that can see more of the production process. Making assumptions about product plans based solely on orders for individual parts is often like trying to describe an elephant from only its tail.
It's clear Apple is nearly done with its transition away from optical drives since the non-Retina 13-inch MacBook Pro is the only computer the company still sells with one installed. Including the drive means Apple must continue to make a laptop that's thicker than the rest of it's mobile computer lineup, and as far as the company is concerned, it's legacy hardware.
Apple isn't known for supporting what it sees as outdated technology, so the built-in optical drive will be gone from its product line -- and probably sooner instead of later.
Apple doesn't talk about future product plans, so exactly when the 13-inch MacBook Pro will fade away is still up in the air.

"Lonely," he said. "Comfort me."
So we began, by email that bared too much and revealed too little.
Back and forth, stepping into what we do not know.
A month ago, he lost his wife. Twenty-five years ago, we kissed.
"I remember," he said, "and that memory feeds me."
I remember, but single for too long, I coil into myself.
Still, we type, fingers seeking the marrow of our fears.
"Stop," I said. Or did I say slow?
We met for lunch.
Needless to say, this didn't work out.

Usually at year's end, we're supposed to look back at events just passed—and forward, in prediction mode, to the year to come. But just look around you! This moment is so extraordinary that it has hardly registered. People in thousands of communities across the United States and elsewhere are living in public, experimenting with direct democracy, calling things by their true names, and obliging the media and politicians to do the same.
The breadth of this movement is one thing, its depth another. It has rejected not just the particulars of our economic system, but the whole set of moral and emotional assumptions on which it's based. Take the pair shown in a photograph from Occupy Austin in Texas. The amiable-looking elderly woman is holding a sign whose computer-printed words say, "Money has stolen our vote." The older man next to her with the baseball cap is holding a sign handwritten on cardboard that states, "We are our brothers' keeper."
The photo of the two of them offers just a peek into a single moment in the remarkable period we're living through and the astonishing movement that's drawn in… well, if not 99 percent of us, then a striking enough percentage: everyone from teen pop superstar Miley Cyrus with her Occupy-homage video to Alaska Yup'ik elder Esther Green ice-fishing and holding a sign that says "Yirqa Kuik" in big letters, with the translation—"occupy the river"—in little ones below.
The woman with the stolen-votes sign is referring to them. Her companion is talking about us, all of us, and our fundamental principles. His sign comes straight out of Genesis, a denial of what that competitive entrepreneur Cain said to God after foreclosing on his brother Abel's life. He was not, he claimed, his brother's keeper; we are not, he insisted, beholden to each other, but separate, isolated, each of us for ourselves.
Think of Cain as the first Social Darwinist and this Occupier in Austin as his opposite, claiming, no, our operating system should be love; we are all connected; we must take care of each other. And this movement, he's saying, is about what the Argentinian uprising that began a decade ago, on December 19, 2001, called politica afectiva, the politics of affection.
If it's a movement about love, it's also about the money they so unjustly took, and continue to take, from us—and about the fact that, right now, money and love are at war with each other. After all, in the American heartland, people are beginning to be imprisoned for debt, while the Occupy movement is arguing for debt forgiveness, renegotiation and debt jubilees.

The Latest: Alaska outdoors professor mauled by bear
JUNEAU, Alaska – The Latest on a university professor mauled by a bear (all times local):
5:40 p.m.
An Alaska outdoor studies assistant professor was mauled by a bear Monday while teaching a mountaineering class near Haines, according to a University of Alaska Southeast spokeswoman.
Alaska State Troopers say Forest Wagner was with a group of 12 students on Mount Emmerich when he was attacked.
They learned of the attack after another student hiked down the mountain to get cell reception and call for help.
University of Alaska Southeast spokeswoman Katie Bausler says the students are off of the mountain and staying with another faculty member in Haines.
Troopers' spokeswoman Megan Peters says in an email to the Associated Press that the 35-year-old Wagner was being transported to an Anchorage hospital. His condition wasn't immediately known.
5:11 p.m.
An Alaska man has been mauled by a bear, according to Alaska State Troopers.
Troopers' spokeswoman Megan Peters says in an email to The Associated Press that 35-year-old Forest Wagner, of Fairbanks, has been transported to an Anchorage hospital.
His condition wasn't immediately known.
About a dozen students at the University of Alaska Southeast in Juneau were taking part in a mountaineering class on Mount Emmerich, near Haines, on Monday when the mauling occurred, according to troopers. The university website lists a Forest Wagner as an assistant professor of outdoor studies.
Troopers say a student hiked down the mountain to find cell reception to alert authorities. Wagner was taken off the mountain by a rescue helicopter and then taken by a medical helicopter to Anchorage.
Troopers say the bear was seen again after the mauling, and the university arranged for other students to get off the mountain.
