A new study on the value irrigation adds to Nebraska's economy adds to the importance of the work of a special committee.
The Water Sustainability Task Force has begun meeting, just as the Nebraska Farm Bureau releases a study indicating irrigation adds $11 billion dollars to the state economy annually.
Actually, the study [PDF of study] conducted by Decision Innovation Solutions of Des Moines, Iowa focused on the impact of irrigation during 2012, when drought held Nebraska in a tight grip. The study concluded that irrigation of Nebraska cropland added $11 billion to the state economy last night. It estimates the state would have lost slightly more than 31,000 jobs without irrigation.
Farm Bureau President Steve Nelson says the study simply emphasizes the importance of maintaining adequate irrigation.
"This study really does help put some numbers behind what that real value of irrigation is to the economy, not just for farmers and ranchers, but for everyone in the state," Nelson tells reporters during a conference call.
Irrigation gave yields a strong boost. Corn grown on irrigated land averaged 190 bushels an acre last year. Corn grown without irrigation in Nebraska yielded only 58 bushels per acre. Irrigated land in Nebraska produced much greater yields that other states in the Corn Belt, including Iowa, Missouri and Illinois.
But, will understanding the importance of irrigation lead the legislature to funding water conservation projects which might be suggested by the Water Sustainability Task Force?
"Part of what we need to do is prioritize what projects are important, what areas need to be worked on first and part of it, of course, is having the adequate funding to do those things," Nelson says.
Nebraska ranks first among the states in irrigated acreage. Nebraska farmers irrigate 8.4 million acres. California ranks second with 7.3 million acres under irrigation.
The study concludes that irrigation produces enough benefit for the state that it adds jobs to such diverse industries as real estate, wholesale trade, banking and health care.

The Electronics Curriculum. Eleventh Quarterly Technical Report.
Crozier, Patrick W.; Butler, F. Coit, Jr.
Technical activities for the period October 1 through December 31, 1968 are covered. Described are the development, implementation, interim evaluation, and probable future applications of the first and second level electronics curriculums. One hundred and sixty-nine electro-electronic job titles were identified; tasks within these were classified as basic, speciality, advanced, ancillary, or redundant to differentiate them from more elementary or more specialized skills. Objectives containing the knowledge, skills, conditions and criteria were then prepared. Self-study course materials were developed based on the objectives for the first level occupation, General Assembler. Tests were provided for end-of-unit and end-of-course proficiency evaluation. A student-instructor ratio of 18 to 1 proved satisfactory in this situation, which involved most students working in pairs at work stations. "First attempt" performance varied from 100 percent to 24 percent across the performance objectives. The appendix includes a chart of the occupational cluster; sample instructional units; lists of units, objectives, and tasks; and sample tests. (EM)

Just a quick drop-in to the blog (preparation for fairy tale teaching in Tuscany and fairy tale salons is swallowing up chunks of time), but in the last couple of weeks, I wrote two quick pieces. One, with Deb Waterhouse-Watson, has just been published on The Conversation. It's about the latest proliferation of Snow Whites and I managed to wiggle into the piece my current obsession with Finette.
The other is a piece on mermaids. It doesn't cover everything, but it points to some interesting background to the cultural idea of the mermaid.

Directions{{model.addEditText}} Print
- Mix hot water and kosher salt in a 54-quart cooler, stirring until the salt dissolves. Mix in vegetable broth, honey, and orange juice. Pour in the ice cubes, place the turkey into the brine with breast side up, and close the cooler lid. Place the cooler in a cold place and let the turkey marinate overnight or up to 12 hours. Brine temperature must stay colder than 40 degrees F (4 degrees C).
- Remove turkey from brine, discard brine, and dry the turkey thoroughly with paper towels. Mix vegetable oil with poultry seasoning in a bowl, and rub the turkey with the mixture. Place apple, celery, onion, and orange pieces into the cavity of the turkey.
- Preheat an outdoor grill to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for indirect heat and lightly oil the grate. Build a 'smoke bomb' by placing about 1 cup of hickory or cherry wood chips into the middle of a 12x12-inch doubled piece of aluminum foil. Gather up the edges of the foil to make a pouch and leave the pouch open at the top. Set the smoke bomb directly onto the coals if grilling with charcoal, or onto the flame bar of a gas grill.
- Set the turkey onto the grill in position for indirect heat, insert a probe thermometer into the thickest part of the turkey breast, not touching a bone, and close the grill. Set the probe thermometer for 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
- Grill turkey for 1 hour and check the bird; if skin is already golden brown, cover the breast, legs, and wings with aluminum foil. Replace the smoke bomb with a new one; close cover and continue to grill until probe thermometer registers 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), 2 to 3 more hours. Remove the fruit and vegetable pieces from the cavity, cover turkey with aluminum foil, and let rest for 1 hour before carving.

Well, we are still in Spring, late Spring, and very soon early Summer. It's 32C today so it's time for a cool change at our dinner table.
Hainanese Chicken & Rice, a simple hawker stall dish, has always been the 10 year old's favourite Asian dish, and he just assumed all Asian restaurants have them... ooops, not quite.
He was quite upset when he didn't get his favourite Hainanese Chicken & Rice in one of the Shanghai Dumpling Houses in Box Hill.
So I promised him that I will make it for him, well, the promise was for yesterday but I didn't get to do it until today.
I've never really done this dish before, it's a bit similar to Cantonese white cooked chicken and I have watched some shows about it, including the Food Safari. Hmm... maybe having a lot of Malaysian friends doesn't mean that I can automatically cook Malaysian food?
Anyway, I made this with my own understanding and the kid actually thought it was good enough...
First of all, I make the broth (by the way, I forgot to buy coriander, do I need it?) with:
Fish sauce
light soy sauce
dash of shaoxin wine
1 lemon grass
1 knob of ginger
1 knob of galangal
White ends of 5 sprigs of spring onion.
bit of salt and some palm sugar to balance.
Bring the broth to boil, and soak the chicken in. Medium heat, and simmer for 10-15 minutes depending the size of the chicken, I usually use small size chicken for those poached chicken dishes, so around 1.2-1.5 kilos.
Turn off the heat, close lid of the pot, and let the chicken stay in pot for a further 15-20 minutes. After that, I was pretty sure the chicken was cooked through, and put it on some ice in a big bowl and let it cool in fridge.
Meantime, make rice.
I do remember the chicken rice is made from the broth after chicken was poached. There was a bit of chicken fat and excess chicken skin I reserved for the rice. Heat up a pan, in low heat, gently fry the chicken fat and skin, add some finely chopped ginger mince. Add rice, and let it coat with the ginger flavoured chicken fat. Well, then, I used the rice cooker. Why wouldn't I, it does make good rice. Add the same amount of chicken broth to rice cooker as the same amount of water required as the instruction of ricer cooker states. And let it do the rest of the job.
By the time rice is cooked, the chicken should be cooled down to cut.... oh.... the sauces.
Hainanese chicken normally comes with 3 sauces, sweet soy, chillie garlic and white vinegar (or lemon juice), and ginger and spring onion.
I have been told by the doctor that I won't be able to eat as much chillie and acidic food as I'd like to have so I skipped the process and just made the ginger and spring onion sauce with a bit of chillie... well, just for the adults in the family, the kids never touched the sauces even when we ate out.
My first attempt, and I'm sure there's a lot of room for improvement - and probably will have to make it again and again until the boy grows up and leave home. Guess I need some comments from the Malaysians out there, please?

GLG Partners, Europe's largest hedge fund manager, has admitted that flaws in its trading models were partly to blame for a 14.5 per cent drop last month in the value of its Credit Fund.I recommend this as some background reading on the current state of hedge fund risk models. The comments about Mandelbrot and Eckhardt seem most relevant.
In particular, it has acknowledged that the mathematical model it used to price complex credit derivative products failed to foresee market swings after last month's ratings downgrades of General Motors and Ford.
In a private letter to investors, a copy of which has been obtained by the Financial Times, the hedge fund argues that it has now rejigged these trading models. The admission is significant because other banks and hedge funds appear to have been using similar trading models, meaning that they may also have suffered big derivatives losses.
GLG warns that conditions in the credit market could remain difficult for some time because banks and hedge funds are trying to get out of loss-making derivatives positions at the same time.
"Segments of the hedge fund community and a substantial number of investment banks are nursing material losses in structured credit trades as a result of recent market conditions," the letter says.
The FT goes on to say that while the GLG's models considered a move like last month's (May?) an 8 sigma event that could be "ignored". This quote in particular seems like the root of problems: "GLG blamed the model's shortcoming on the fact that this CDO market had only traded since last year...". Personally I bet the model did exactly what it was built to. Generally they do that.
Maybe the CDO market is small enough and has had its time in the sun but with the VIX still tripping along sub 15% I find this kind of explanation troubling.

Functional Skill Characteristics of Community-Bound Mentally Retarded Clients. Technical Report 79-06.
Grosek, Robert J.
Five mentally retarded adults from a residential population were placed into the community and rated on their performance in seven common functional domains, including physical, self help, and language skills. The minimal skill in each functional domain that was exhibited by the five clients were identified and compared with scores of 44 mentally retarded adult clients from a general population residing in an institution. It was found that the minimal scores obtained by the five community-bound clients were not unlike the average scores of the inpatient population. Furthermore, such skills as physical movement, receptive language, toileting, and feeding appeared to take precedence over other skills including dressing, grooming, and expressive language. Full attainment of the former skills appeared to be necessary for community placement while only partial attainment of the latter skills seemed to be sufficient. Data suggested that the habilitative planning that is intended to place a client into the community might best be directed at having the client acquire certain skills before others. (Author/SBH)

The problem with Lions for Lambs isn't its political engagement but its cinematic disengagement. Robert Redford directs and stars in this ambitious talkathon, which would have been more effective as a radio play.
Redford is all flashing teeth and conscience as a professor intent on pushing a gifted but complacent frat boy in his political-science class (Andrew Garfield) into some commitment to our civic life. Tom Cruise is all flashing teeth and cunning as a hotshot Republican senator shopping a scoop about a bold strategic change in Afghanistan to a seasoned journalist (Meryl Streep). The movie is meant to demonstrate how escapism (on the part of the student) and resignation (on the part of the journalist) can be as crippling as fear and paranoia when it comes to setting the tone and direction of public life.
Lions for Lambs (United Artists) Starring Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep, Robert Redford. Directed by Redford. Rated R. Time 88 minutes.

Syrian President Bashar Assad said in remarks published Wednesday that U.S.-led airstrikes targeting Islamic State group militants in his country are neither serious nor efficient, claiming they have failed to produce any tangible results.
Assad spoke in a rare interview conducted Nov. 28 in Damascus with Paris Match magazine, his first in months. His comments critical of the U.S. airstrikes appear intended to give the impression that his forces are the most effective in fighting Islamic extremists.
"You can't end terrorism with aerial strikes. Troops on the ground that know the land and can react are essential," the magazine quoted Assad as saying. "That is why there haven't been any tangible results in the two months of strikes led by the coalition."
The full interview was expected to be published Thursday.
Both Assad's forces and the U.S. have been bombing Islamic State group targets in northern Syria, although U.S. officials say they don't coordinate strikes with his embattled government.
Assad said the U.S. strikes "would of course have helped had they been serious and efficient."
"We are running the ground battles against Daesh, and we have noticed no change, especially with Turkey providing direct support to these regions," he was quoted as saying, using an Arabic acronym for the group.
Assad has insisted throughout Syria's nearly 4-year-old conflict that he has been fighting foreign-inspired Islamic extremists and "terrorists" — not Syrians calling for reform and freedom.

We are so excited. Thanks entirely to Council of Literary Magazines and Presses for having grant money set aside exclusively for zines and chapbooks. WNHP has just won it's first ever grant, made possible through New York State Council on the Arts.
I have to say that, when I saw the application, and the words budget and deadline and criteria, I was going to bail. But CLMP encouraged me, and it's good that they did, because, we were the only chapbook to apply so we got a double-sized grant. How's that for a bright sunny result, which is the opposite of the WNHP life outlook?
While grant money cannot go towards printing costs, it sure can motivate us to decide to put out the next issue super early. More on that to come, soon!.

Air Algerie flight AH1020 declares mid-air emergency on journey from Algiers to Marseille 'then disappears from radar.
Algiers-August 6th,2016.RedNewswire/–
The Boeing 737-600 was flying from Algiers to Marseille when the emergency was announced.
A passenger plane started reasons for alarm it had smashed after it announced a mid-air emergency and afterward vanished from radar.
The Air Algerie Boeing 737-600 took off from Algiers this afternoon on a flight to Marseille but let out an emergency call shortly after take-off.
Flight radar demonstrated the plane pivot and head back towards the point where it took-off however before arriving, the plane vanished from radar.
Plane following site Flight Radar 24 recorded the plane's status as "obscure" before uncovering to its followers that it didn't trust the arrangement had smashed.
Posting to Twitter, the group said: "We believe Air Algérie AH1020 to be a "coverage issue" NOT a missing aircraft. Our ADS-B coverage in Algeria is limited."
Minutes after the fact, media in Algeria reported the plane had landed securely in Algiers having endured specialized disappointment while a huge number of feet in the sky.
There has been no affirmation up till now from the aircraft Air Algerie.
The underlying stresses of an accident were started when the plane totally vanished from various flight radar tracking sites.
Many have expressed concerns that there has been no news of the plane's safe arrival back at Algiers.

To determine the contribution of polar auxin transport (PAT) to auxin accumulation and to adventitious root (AR) formation in the stem base of Petunia hybrida shoot tip cuttings, the level of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) was monitored in non-treated cuttings and cuttings treated with the auxin transport blocker naphthylphthalamic acid (NPA) and was complemented with precise anatomical studies. The temporal course of carbohydrates, amino acids and activities of controlling enzymes was also investigated. Analysis of initial spatial IAA distribution in the cuttings revealed that approximately 40 and 10% of the total IAA pool was present in the leaves and the stem base as rooting zone, respectively. A negative correlation existed between leaf size and IAA concentration. After excision of cuttings, IAA showed an early increase in the stem base with two peaks at 2 and 24h post excision and, thereafter, a decline to low levels. This was mirrored by the expression pattern of the auxin-responsive GH3 gene. NPA treatment completely suppressed the 24-h peak of IAA and severely inhibited root formation. It also reduced activities of cell wall and vacuolar invertases in the early phase of AR formation and inhibited the rise of activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and phosphofructokinase during later stages. We propose a model in which spontaneous AR formation in Petunia cuttings is dependent on PAT and on the resulting 24-h peak of IAA in the rooting zone, where it induces early cellular events and also stimulates sink establishment. Subsequent root development stimulates glycolysis and the pentosephosphate pathway

This was our second visit to Villa Cleoboulos, we had no hesitation in booking after the last visit and this visit was just as wonderful. The villa is in a lovely quiet village, a real hidden gem, it is away from all the busy tourist spots, but within an easy drive to the islands towns and villages. The pool is such a great bonus as the weather was amazing the full two weeks. The villa is so well equipped that we remained in the villa most evenings and took advantage of the outdoor kitchen / BBQ. The villa kitchen is well stocked and having a coffee in the morning and a early evening drink watching the sunset on the first floor terrace whilst looking over the olive groves and mountains was relaxing, peaceful and stunning. Some have raised concerns over taxi availability but we used a lady called Nicole who new where the villa was (she remembered from last year) and if she was unable to collect she would arrange a taxi for you. Her card is in the villa. It was incredibly hard this year to tear ourselves away from the villa but Rhodes is a beautiful country and this is the perfect, reasonably priced villa to enjoy your holiday. We will be returning no question and would absolutely recommend to anyone.
Fantastic villa near Lindos. Very well equipped, had everything we could possibly want and more! This villa has had lots of thought put into making it a real home from home.
We absolutely loved the villa, especially the outdoor kitchen and plan to visit again.
The villa is in a small village which we didn't really explore much apart from the fantastic bakery. Very near to Lindos, Lardos and Pefkos which have lots of restaurants. Lardos has a great fishmonger and a good butchers. Valentina's taverna in Lardos is very good.
Make sure to have a massage or reflexology from Debbie- brochure in the villa- we have never been so relaxed!
Ths is our second visit to the very beautiful Villa Cleoboulos in Rhodes. It was wonderful to come back to this peaceful haven, perfect for relaxing and near enough to visit our favourite places. This time we discovered St Pauls Bay, superb for a gentle swim across the bay, with gentle music drifting across from a delightful restaurant.
The Villa was if anything even better than before, Fiona and Murray have thought of everything to make their visitors stay perfect. The hanging chair on the front veranda was fun and the hand painted sign on the front of the villa was lovely.
The pool side area and outdoor kitchen set in the picturesque gardens set this Villa far above any other we have seen.
Would highly recommend this Villa. Lovely Spacious rooms as well as a large garden with pool and plenty of seating and lounging areas. Nearby Lindos with it's Sandy Beach and many roof top restaurants is a must. Thoroughly enjoyed a most relaxing holiday here.
Lovely two week first stay at villa cleboulis in sept 2017. Well equipped villa with nice touches such as towelling robes (not used) and very well equipped kitchen great for self catering. Outside bbq area and lots of seating and tables dotted around the grounds to cater for whatever you need is sun shade breeze etc. Upstairs balcony off master bedroom lovely first thing in the morning. Contact with Fiona was excellent from initial enquiry, to prompt refunding off damage deposit the day after we returned. Useful guide pack. The villa is in a quiet Greek village so you do need a car, but easy journeys to lardos for two small supermarkets , butcher and fishmonger or a larger supermarket five mins in other direction towards Lindos. Small well equipped village shop which we used a few times and villa chrissa gave us a friendly welcome and nice meal on first evening, although sadly we were the only customers that night .if you want to be in quiet surroundings but near to Lindos etc would recommend. Directions were perfect although sign at gate would be useful.

You can give the gift of love this holiday season to someone in need. It all starts with an empty shoebox.
Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has delivered shoe boxes full of gifts to children in disadvantaged parts of the world. The organization works with churches and charities to ensure the shoe boxes will be delivered by hand to children who need it most, regardless of their background or beliefs.
"National collection week is November 16th through the 23rd, and anyone can get involved," said Diana DeYoung who has been working with the organization for the last nine years. "Just take an empty shoe box and fill it up. It's that easy."
Shoe boxes are divided into three age categories: 2 to 4, 5 to 9, and 10 to 14.
Those donating can choose whether to buy for a boy or girl.
"Toiletries, school supplies, candy, and toys are the best items to put in the shoe box," said DeYoung.

Founded in 1909, the Order of the Alamo exists to educate the public about the history of the fight for the independence of Texas in the 1830s, and the Coronation event is the colorful culmination of its annual spring Fiesta.
Lighting designer Bobby Harrell has been illuminating the Coronation event for many years, and this year he chose to use four of Philips Vari-Lite's new VLZ Spot fixtures in his rig. He explains, "The VLZs were chosen to add extra tone, color and texture to the stage while the primary systems were there to provide color and visibility. In years past, we had used another manufacturer's moving heads but they just didn't punch through the conventional and LED stage lighting when needed. I knew the VLZs would have more punch and was not disappointed. The VLZ Spots gave us plenty of output even during brighter stage pictures."
Harrell was drawn to the VLZ Spot having been impressed by both the power of its output and the quality of its optics. He says, "The 8000K color temperature gave just enough increase to the perceived brightness to show up over the other lighting. I was able to get good gobo quality as well as plenty of output from just these four fixtures."
Harrell confirms that the VLZ Spots had performed as he had hoped they would, adding, "In fact, I may look at replacing the 1500W moving lights that we use as followspots, for next year. The color rendering of the VLZ is much more pure, and doesn't give me that green that many arc sourced fixtures do."
As a long-serving product manager for Philips Strand Lighting, Harrell has been an adherent of Strand control systems for many years, and in recent years has employed Strand NEO controller on the Coronation project. He says, "I've been lighting this show for years, initially using the Strand 520i, then moving on to a Palette VL. In recent years I've used a NEO, for two main reasons - the ability to label channels in patch, and the ability to assign a Movement Path to the moving lights that I use as followspots."
He explains, "When lighting a show and programming at the same time, I have to bounce between looking at the stage, the console monitors and a magic sheet. For several years now, I just add Position, Purpose and Color information to all channels in Patch and that appears on my Classic View channel screen. I select my channel layout so that it matches the plan of the stage. In the Coronation event, there are 24 girls, or 'Duchesses' in the 'Royal Court' plus a Princess and a Queen. Half of the Duchesses are stage right and the other half are stage left.
The 8000K color temperature gave just enough increase to the perceived brightness to show up over the other lighting. I was able to get good gobo quality as well as plenty of output from just these four fixtures."

There are many reasons why your online shop / website is not listed in the search engines, this article aims to take you through the most popular reasons and offers advice on how to get listed in the search engines.
ekmPowershop users should first log into their account and ensure they have completed each step in the Marketing & Promotion section as this system makes it easy for all online shops to get successful search engine results.
First things first, are you even listed?
Your website might already be listed in the search engines, so the first thing to do is actually check for this. You can do this by going to Google (usually the first search engine to index your site) and searching for your websites domain name, so for example "ekmpowershop.com". If this returns no results then you're not listed, however in most cases it should return one or two results which you can then check to verify that your site is in fact listed.
The rest of this article will apply to you if you're listed but not ranking very well or if your site isn't listed at all.
You haven't given it enough time
Getting listed in the major search engines takes time; this can be anything from 4 to 6 weeks up to several months.
Search engines like Google can put your site in something they call the sandbox, this is an area where they monitor your site as its new to ensure that it's a real site and that it is here to stay, its only after several weeks that they release your site from this sandbox and into the ranked results.
Building up any business takes months and in most cases years. The internet is no different and if you expect to setup an ecommerce website and within a few months retire on millions of pounds then you can forget it. The days of "build it and they will come" are well and truly over.
Your site doesn't have much content
If there is very little content on your website in the way of text then you will not get a very high rank. All the search engines go off the amount of fresh textual content on your website, the more the better. So if your entire site consists of a few pages with a few sentences of text then you can forget getting high rankings. On the internet content is king when it comes to achieving good ranking.
In Summary
There is no secret to getting good search engine rankings; there are just three easy steps…
1. Ensure your website has plenty of content
2. Get as many relevant inbound links as possible
3. Give it plenty of time

Visited back in November with Mookster after seeing the Typhoo Factory. Another one ticked off the list which has been kicking about for years. I really enjoyed this one; though quite bare and largely sealed, it had a lot of nice things to see down there. The air was pretty bad though in places!
History - Borrowed!
The 'Shadow Factory Tunnels' are what remain of Lord Austin's secret plans that were created to increase the force of the British military against the German military aggression in the arms race that led up to the start of the Second World War.
Munitions workers produced Merlin engines to power Spitfires and Hawker Hurricanes which were used to regain control of the British skies during the 1940 Battle of Britain.
The Shadow Scheme involved two stages; the building of nine new factories and the extension of existing factories.
This extension included here; the Longbridge plant. Australian-born industrialist and Conservative MP, Lord Austin, whom founded Austin Motors; had already contributed to the war effort during the First World War, turning his factories to munitions and engine production.
The tunnels which ran beneath Austin Rovers Longbridge plant are mostly all that is left of the plant; a large housing development increases in size upon the former footprint. These tunnels ensured that production of the engines and munitions could continue underground in relative safety.
After WWII; the factory returned to producing automobiles and the tunnels were soon abandoned. By the late 60s, the plant was the second largest car plant in the world.
After the collapse of MG Rover, the site saw its redevelopment. Famously; a mini was kept down here after workers damaged it in the 70s and it was hidden from bosses. The mini is now in a museum.
This is a very small portion of the tunnels. Lots is bricked up

The history of the Albanian Navy dates back to 1925, following the creation of the Albanian Republic. Albanian naval forces operate out of two main bases; Bishti-i-Palles in Durrës, and Pasha Liman in Vlorë, with four reserve bases respectively in Shëngjin, Porto Palermo, Saranda and a submarine base on Sazan island. The vessels of the Albanian naval force are mostly patrol craft and support craft as well as four whisky class submarines (Soviet Union built in the early Cold War period) which have been taken out of service at Pasha Liman. In Shëngjin a Soviet built minesweeper M-111 and an AFD-115 gunship remain abandoned at the entrance to a bunker. The Albanian navy still operates out of Shëngjin in a low capacity so it's still an active military zone but you are allowed to drive through it to reach a beach resort on the other side. Handy for us! Visited with adders, extreme_ironing, otter and reenie. Here's what we found....
AFD Mujo Ulqinaku M-111 - A mine warfare ship designed for the location of and destruction of naval mines which combines the role of a minesweeper and minehunter in one hull. Minesweepers are equipped with mechanical or electrical devices, known as "sweeps", for disabling mines, so waterways are maintained clear for safe shipping. This one appears to have been disused since 1996 (the date of a calendar on board), just prior to the Albanian civil war, when many vessels of the Albanian navy were seriously damaged.
Behind it sits this half-submerged AFD P115 - Albanian Navy gunship (Chinese type 62 "Shanghai-II") which has had its 57mm gun mount removed
They sit in front of the entrance to a navigable bunker which was inaccessible. Another entrance parallel was also sealed although we reached the blast door for that one
The AFD Mujo Ulqinaku M111 was named after Mujo Ulqinaku, an Albanian sergeant of the Royal Albanian Navy, known for his resistance to the Italian forces during the Italian Invasion of Albania in 1939. Armed with only a machine gun, he was placed at the centre of the defense line and fought uninterruptedly until he was eventually killed by an artillery shell from an Italian warship in the last hour of the battle. He was given the People's Hero of Albania award posthumously.
On board the AFD - M111
An old gun at the front
You can see an active patrol boat moored up on the left of the shot
Inside the AFD - M111
Communications cabin
A small engine room
Hatches and squat toilets
All the cabins were locked except for this one
Some old military posters
Back on land, this AFD S104 - Huchuan class 'motor torpedo boat' is waiting to be scrapped. Powered by Soviet-era engines, these hydrofoil-equipped boats are capable of 50 knots (93 km/h; 58 mph) and carry two torpedo tubes for torpedoes, with some known to be armed with naval mines.
A few dilapidated buildings remain nearby
This building to the left was manned but we were just out of view so we took a quick peek at these old military vehicles
Some rusty torpedoes lay on the ground alongside one of them
A couple of old trucks overgrown by vegetation above the bunker. We were aware of someone from the base heading in our direction at this point so we hopped in the car and made tracks
We made it to the beach resort on the other side of the military zone where unfortunately the pigs were waiting for us. Thankfully they just grunted a bit and we were on our way 😮
Just in time to catch the sunset!
Thanks for looking

During the Cold War, this bunker was built as an auxiliary hospital.
The overlying school was opened in the 60s while the hospital was officially inaugurated in the 80s.
It offered 2,370 places and never went into operation.
At the turn of the millennium, it was relieved of its responsibilities, the inventory transferred to other states, and the hospital will be soon demolished.

Thomas Shepard (1605-1649) was an important Puritan writer and pastor who participated in the founding of Harvard University and worked to evangelize the Indians. He also influenced the procuring of The Cambridge Platform, an important constitution for Congregational churches on church government and discipline.
Below are some quotes regarding his views on:
As a Fence to the Moral Law, the Judicial Laws of Moses Bind all Nations
Thomas Shepard argues that those judicial laws of Moses that are a fence to the moral law bind all nations, since such a fence is as necessary today as it was for Israel:
The Sufficiency of Scripture for Civil Government
Shepard holds that Scripture provides all the guidance necessary for rulers to create good laws:
Below are some quotes regarding his views on:
- The binding authority of the Judicial Laws of Moses
- The Sufficiency of Scripture for civil government
- The need for rulers to punish violations of the First Table of the Law (including violations of the Sabbath)
- Toleration and abuse of power
- The law of nature, the Judicial Law, and commonwealths
- Why the death penalty for the Sabbath, and whether it binds nations today
As a Fence to the Moral Law, the Judicial Laws of Moses Bind all Nations
Thomas Shepard argues that those judicial laws of Moses that are a fence to the moral law bind all nations, since such a fence is as necessary today as it was for Israel:
The judicial laws, some of them being hedges and fences to safeguard both moral and ceremonial precepts, their binding power was therefore mixed and various, for those which did safeguard any moral law, (which is perpetual) whether by just punishments or otherwise, do still morally bind all nations; for, as Piscator argues, a moral law is as good and as precious now in these times as then, and there is as much need of the preservation of these fences to preserve these laws in these times, and at all times, as well as then, there being as much danger of the treading down of those laws by the wild beasts of the world and brutish men (sometimes even in churches) now as then; and hence God would have all nations preserve their fences forever, as he would have that law preserved forever which these safeguard; but, on the other side, these judicials which did safeguard ceremonial laws which we know were not perpetual, but proper to that nation, hence those judicials which compass these about are not perpetual nor universal; the ceremonials being plucked up by their roots, to what purpose then should their fences and hedges stand? As, on the contrary, the morals abiding, why should not their judicials and fences remain?
The learned generally doubt not to affirm that Moses' judicials bind all nations, so far forth as they contain any moral equity in them, which moral equity doth appear not only in respect of the end of the law, when it is ordered for common and universal good, but chiefly in respect of the law which they safeguard and fence, which if it be moral, it is most just and equal, that either the same or like judicial fence (according to some fit proportion) should preserve it still, because it is but just and equal that a moral and universal law should be universally preserved; from whence, by the way, the weakness of their reasonings may be observed, who, that they may take away the power of the civil magistrate in matters of the first table, (which once he had in the Jewish commonwealth,) affirm that such civil power then did arise from the judicial, and not from any moral law; whenas it is manifest that this his power in preserving God's worship pure from idolatrous and profane mixtures, according to the judicial laws, was no more but a fence and safeguard set about moral commandments; which fences and preservatives are therefore (for substance) to continue in as much power and authority now as they did in those days, as long as such laws continue in their morality, which these preserve; the duties of the first table being also as much moral as those of the second, to the preserving of which latter from hurt and spoil in respect of their morality, no wise man questions the extent of his power.[1]
The Sufficiency of Scripture for Civil Government
Shepard holds that Scripture provides all the guidance necessary for rulers to create good laws:
Because the law is sufficient to guide the whole man, in its whole course, in all the actions or occasions it meddles with or takes in hand, even in civil as well as in religious matters. Prov. ii. 9, "Wisdom teacheth every good path" [paraphrase]. Ps. cxix. 11, "I have hid thy word, that I might not sin" [paraphrase]. Whatever one doth without a rule from the word, is not of faith. Hence the word descends to the most petty occasions of our lives; it teacheth men how to look, (Ps. cxxxi. 1,) how to speak, (Matt. xii. 36;) it descends to the plaiting of the hair, (1 Pet. iii. 5,) moving of the feet, (Is. iii. 16;) and what is of Christian liberty hath its freedom from the word: a man must give an account at the last day of every stirring of heart, thoughts, motives, and secret words; and if so, then it must be according to the rule of the word; and hence the word only hath absolute power to bind masters, servants, and princes how they govern, and people how they subject; and this the Lord hath done to make men take Counsel from him, and walk in fear before him, and approve themselves to him, especially townsmen in their places not to consult without God.
2. All good laws and orders enacted in any place by men are either expressly mentioned in the word, or are to be collected and deducted from the word, as being able to give sufficient direction herein. For all the authority of the highest power on earth, in contriving of laws, is in this alone, viz., to make prudent collection and special application of the general rules, recorded in Scripture, to such special and peculiar circumstances which may promote the public weal and good of persons, places, proceedings. Prov. viii. 85 [15], "By me princes decree justice" [paraphrase]. Josh. i. 7, 8, "Do what Moses commanded; turn not on either hand" [paraphrase]. Object. But I can not see my way from hence always. Meditate therefore on it much, and then thy way shall prosper, etc. Many things Joshua did not particularly set down by Moses, but may be collected from it. Deut. i. 17—20, "The king is to have it, that he may prolong his days in the midst of Israel," in his kingdom [not sure of the connection between the quote and the verse cited]. What made Rehoboam to turn from these ways? He thought he could not stablish his kingdom without it; that was, therefore, the ruin of him and his kingdom.[2]
Shephard likewise affirms the sufficiency of Scripture in civil government while discussing the magistrate's need to see the Sabbath observed:
The Need for Rulers to Punish Violations of the First Table of the Law (including violations of the Sabbath)
For Shepard, denying magistrates the duty to punish offenses against the first table of the law is a rejection of Christ's kingship. And so he says the following, noting particular offenders against the judicial law such as Sabbath-breakers, false prophets, and heretics (or at least promoters of heresy):
On Toleration and Abuse of Power
The civil magistrate's abuse of power is often raised in defense of too much toleration. Shepard addresses this objection in the following way:
On the Law of Nature, the Judicial Law, and Commonwealths
Shepherd held that the law of nature could be better known by knowledge of God's law, or less known due to the corruption of sin. Moreover, many judicial laws are still natural and moral, and are binding on nations:
Why the Death Penalty for the Sabbath, and Whether it Binds Nations Today
Shepherd holds that the man who was executed for breaking the Sabbath in Scripture was not simply executed for gathering sticks, but for doing so presumptuously. He then ponders as to whether such a penalty applies today:

[4] Ibid., 342.

[7] Ibid., 264, 265.
[8] Ibid., 177.

[10] Ibid., 256.
And if superiors in families are to see their gates preserved unspotted from such provoking evils, can any think but that the same bond lies upon superiors in commonwealths, who are the fathers of those great families, whose subjects also are within their gates, and the power of their jurisdictions? The civil magistrate, though he hath no power to impose new laws upon the consciences of his subjects, yet he is bound to see that the laws of God be kept by all his subjects; provided always, that herein he walk according to the law and rule of God, viz., that, 1, ignorant consciences in clear and momentous matters be first instructed; 2, doubting consciences have sufficient means of being resolved; 3, bold and audacious consciences be first forewarned. Hence it is, that though he hath no power to make holy days, and to impose the observation of them upon the consciences of his subjects, (because these are his own laws,) yet he may and should see that the Sabbath day, (the Lord's holy day,) that this be observed, because he doth but see to the execution of God's commandment herein.[3]
The Need for Rulers to Punish Violations of the First Table of the Law (including violations of the Sabbath)
For Shepard, denying magistrates the duty to punish offenses against the first table of the law is a rejection of Christ's kingship. And so he says the following, noting particular offenders against the judicial law such as Sabbath-breakers, false prophets, and heretics (or at least promoters of heresy):
I conceive it is casting off Christ's power to take away power from magistrates to punish sins against the first table, of which errors and heresies in religion are part. It is as clear as the sun, that the kings of Judah that were godly did it, and were commended for it; and it is as clear they were commended for it, not as types of Christ, but because they did therein that which was right in God's eyes, and according to the commandment of the Lord, which judicial commandments, concerning the punishing of Sabbath breakers, false prophets, heretics, etc., God's fence to preserve moral laws, they are of moral equity, and so to be observed to this day of Christian magistrates, etc.[4]While arguing for rulers to prohibit profaning of the Sabbath, Shepard says the following in defense of the civil enforcement of the first table of the law:
By what rule did Nehemiah not only forbid the breach of the Sabbath, but did also threaten bodily punishment upon the men of Tyre? (although they were heathens, yet were they at this time within the gates and compass of his jurisdiction, Neh. xiii. 21.) Certainly he thought himself bound in conscience to see that the Sabbath should not be profaned by any that were within his gates, according to this fourth commandment. If kings, and princes, and civil magistrates have nothing to do in matters of the first table, (and consequently must give any man liberty to profane the Sabbath that pretends conscience,) why then doth Jeremy call upon princes to see that it be not profaned, with promise of having their crowns and kingdoms preserved from wrath if thus they do, and with threatening the burning up and consuming of city and kingdom if this they do not? (Jer. xvii. 19, 25, 27.) If civil magistrates have nothing to do herein, they then have nothing to do to preserve their crowns, kingdoms, scepters, subjects, from fire and blood, and utter ruin. Nehemiah was no type of Christ, nor were the kings of Israel bound to see the Sabbath kept as types of Christ, but as nursing fathers of the commonwealth, and because their own subjects were within their gates, and under their power; and therefore, according to this moral rule of the commandment, they were bound not only to keep it themselves, but to see that all others did so also.[5]
On Toleration and Abuse of Power
The civil magistrate's abuse of power is often raised in defense of too much toleration. Shepard addresses this objection in the following way:
It is true civil magistrates may abuse their power, judge amiss, and think that to be the command of God which is not; but we must not therefore take away their power from them, because they may pervert it and abuse it; we must not deny that power they have for God, because they may pervert it and turn the edge of it against God; for if upon this ground the magistrate hath no power over his subjects in matters of the first table, he may have also all his feathers pulled from him, and all his power taken from him in matters of the second table; for we know that he may work strange changes there, and pervert justice and judgment exceedingly: we must not deny their power, because they may turn it awry, and hurt God's church and people by it, but (as the apostle exhorts, 1 Tim. ii. 1, 2) to pray for them the more, that under them we may live a peaceable life in all godliness and honesty: it is a thousand times better to suffer persecution for righteousness' sake and for a good conscience, than to desire and plead for toleration of all consciences, that so (by this cowardly device and lukewarm principle) our own may be untouched: it was never heard of, until now of late, that any of God's prophets, apostles, martyrs, faithful witnessess, etc., that they ever pleaded for liberty in error, but only for the truth, which they preached and prayed for, and suffered for unto the death; and their sufferings for the truth with zeal, patience, faith, constancy, have done more good than the way of universal toleration is like to do, which is purposely invented to avoid trouble. Truth hath ever spread by opposition and persecution; but error, being a child of Satan, hath fled, by a zealous resisting it.[6]While Shepherd held that rulers should tolerate the humble conscience, for him there is a world of difference between this and tolerating in any particular civil matter those who pretend conscience.
Sick and weak men are to be tendered much, but lunatic and frantic men are in best case when they are well fettered and bound; a weak conscience is to be tendered, a humble conscience tolerated; errors of weakness, not wickedness, are with all gentleness to be handled; the liberty given in the reign of Episcopacy for sports, and pastimes, and may games, upon the Lord's day, was once loathsome to all honest minds; but now to allow a greater liberty to buy, sell, plow, cart, thresh, sport upon the Sabbath day, to all those who pretend conscience, or rather that they have no conscience of one day more than another, is to build up Jericho and Babel again, and to lay foundations of wrath to the land; for God will certainly revenge the pollutions of his Sabbaths: if God be troubled in his rest, no wonder if he disturbs our peace: some of the ancients think that the Lord brought the flood of waters upon the Sabbath day, as they gather from Gen. vii. 10, because they were grown to be great profaners of the Sabbath; and we know that Prague was taken upon this day. The day of their sin began all their sorrows, which are continued to this day, to the amazement of the world. When the time comes that the Lord's precious Sabbaths are the days of God's church's rest, then shall come in the church's peace. (Ps. cii. 13, 14.) The free grace of Christ must first begin herein with us, that we may find at last that rest which this evil world is not yet like to see, unless it speedily love his law more, and his Sabbaths better.[7]
On the Law of Nature, the Judicial Law, and Commonwealths
Shepherd held that the law of nature could be better known by knowledge of God's law, or less known due to the corruption of sin. Moreover, many judicial laws are still natural and moral, and are binding on nations:
If more narrow inquiry be made, what the law of nature is, these distinctions must be observed:—
1. The law of nature is either of pure or corrupt nature.
The law of pure nature was the law of God writ on Adam's heart in innocency, which was nothing else but that holy bent and inclination of the heart within to act according to the holy law of God revealed, or covenant made with him without; and thus Aquinas places the law of nature in this inclination.
The law of corrupt nature is that dim light left in the mind, and moral inclination left in the will, in respect of some things contained in the law of God, which the apostle calls conscience, (Rom. ii. 15;) which natural conscience is nothing but the remnants and general principles of the law of pure nature, left in all men since the fall, which may be increased by more knowledge of the law of God, or more diminished and defaced by the wickedness of man. (Tit. i. 15.)
2. The law of corrupt nature is taken either more largely or strictly.
As it is taken more largely, so it comprehends all that which is agreeable and suitable to natural reason, and that from a natural innate equity in the thing, when it is made known, either by divine instruction or human wisdom, although it be not immediately known by the light of nature; and thus many judicial laws are natural and moral, (though positive,) and of binding nature, unto this day.
As it is taken strictly, so it comprehends no more but what nature immediately knows, or may know, without external instruction, as parents to be honored, man's life to be preserved.[8]
According to Shepherd, the moral law as seen in the law of nature is almost blotted out for the unsaved; however, while there is little known regarding matters of the First Table, there is a general printing of the notions of the Second Table of the law in their hearts which assists in the preservation of commonwealths:
If we speak of the law of nature, strictly taken, for that which is immediately and readily known by the common light of nature in all men, then it may be safely affirmed, that although the Sabbath should not be in this sense natural, yet it will not follow that it is not therefore moral; for the moral law, once writ on man's heart in pure nature, is almost blotted out; only some rudera and old rubbish is left of it in a perverse mind and a corrupt heart. (Eph. iv. 18.) We see the wisest of the heathens making those things to be moral virtues (Junius instanceth in the law of private revenge, and we know they magnified will worship) which the Scripture condemns as moral vices and sins: God would have commonwealths preserved, in all places of the world, from the inundation and deluge of man's wickedness, and therefore he hath generally printed the notions of the second table upon men's hearts, to set bounds (as by sea banks) unto the overflowings thereof, and hence it is that they are generally known: but he would not have churches every where, and therefore there is but little known concerning matters of the first table, and consequently about this law of the Sabbath, which notwithstanding may be moral, although it be not so immediately made known.[9]
Why the Death Penalty for the Sabbath, and Whether it Binds Nations Today
Shepherd holds that the man who was executed for breaking the Sabbath in Scripture was not simply executed for gathering sticks, but for doing so presumptuously. He then ponders as to whether such a penalty applies today:
The man that gathered sticks on the Sabbath (Num. xv. 30) was put to death. What! for gathering of sticks only? Why then did not the just God put them to death who were the first offenders, (and therefore most fit to be made examples,) who went out to gather manna upon this day? (Ex. xvi.) This gathering of sticks, therefore, though little in itself, yet seems to be aggravated by presumption; and that the man did presumptuously break the Sabbath, and therefore it is generally observed, that this very example follows the law of punishing a presumptuous transgressor with death in this very chapter: and though it be said that they found a man gathering sticks, as if it were done secretly, and not presumptuously, yet we know that presumptuous sins may be committed secretly as well as openly, though they are not in so high a degree presumptuous as when they are done more openly: the fear of the law against Sabbath breakers might restrain the man from doing that openly which before God was done proudly and presumptuously; and though Moses doubted what to do with the man, who had that capital law given him before against Sabbath breakers, yet they might be ignorant for a time of the full and true meaning of it, which the Lord here seems to expound, viz., that a Sabbath breaker sinning presumptuously is to be put to death; and although it be doubted whether such a law is not too rigorous in these times, yet we do see that where the magistrate neglects to restrain from this sin, the Lord takes the magistrate's work into his own hand, and many times cuts them off suddenly who profane his Sabbath presumptuously; and it is worth inquiring into, whether presumptuous Sabbath breakers are not still to be put to death; which I doubt not but that the Lord will either one day clear up, or else discover some specialty in the application of this judicial law, to that polity of the Jews, as most fit for them, and not so universally fit for all others in Christian commonwealths; but this latter I yet see no proof for; nor do I expect the clearing up of the other while the temper of the times is loose and lukewarm.[10]

Drawing Out Emotions: Participant-Researcher Revelations. - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
This paper outlines the use of participant-produced drawings as part of a larger study that examined the emotional impact of change on individuals in an educational institution (Kearney, 2002; Kearney and Hyle, 2003). Participants were four teachers and five staff or administrators at a branch campus of a technology training school. Both the participants' and the researcher's perspectives on the drawing methodology used in this study provide the foundation for findings that drawings: (1) create a path toward emotions; (2) lead to a more succinct representation or participant experiences; (3) require additional verbal interpretation by the participant for accuracy; (4) are an unpredictable tool for encouraging participation in research; (5) combat researcher biases when left unstructured; (6) are affected by the amount of researcher-imposed structure in the scope of how they could be interpreted; and (7) help create the triangulation of study data.

New Delhi: With the Allahabad High Court set to deliver its verdict on the Ayodhya title suit next month, senior BJP leader L K Advani on Tuesday asked party MPs to "exercise caution" while making statements on the sensitive issue.
"On Ayodhya, L K Advani asked MPs not to make statements which are against national interest...As a national political party, we should make statements by exercising caution when the verdict is delivered," BJP Deputy Leader in Rajya Sabha S S Ahluwalia said here.
He was briefing reporters on the proceedings of the BJP Parliamentary Party meeting here.
The Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court is likely to deliver the verdict on title suits next month.
Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley said the party would launch an agitation on the issue of enemy properties in the country.
"While we supported a bill on Enemy Properties based on the Ordinance promulgated by the government, we are opposed to any amendments aimed at benefiting an individual...we have already voiced our fears that government could issue a fresh ordinance based on amendments," Ahluwalia said.
He said out of 2,100 enemy properties in the country, 1,400 are located in Uttar Pradesh. "Out of the 1,400, 11,00 belong to Raja of Mehmoodabad," he said.
During the meeting, which was also attended by BJP President Nitin Gadkari, BJP Parliamentary Party Chairman L K Advani expressed "satisfaction" on the role of party MPs during the Monsoon session which ends today.
"He expressed satisfaction in BJP's role in protesting and supporting bills keeping in mind national interest," Ahluwalia said.
He said Gadkari too "appreciated" the contribution of MPs during the over month-long session. With an estimated 82 crore workers in the unorganised sector, Gadkari informed MPs about plans to set up an organisation of workers of the sector to be christened Bharatiya Janata Kamgar Sangh. It will be launched on September 25 to mark the birth anniversary of Deen Dayal Upadhyay. PTI

Reading use virtual reality to release new 2017/18 kits
After launching last year's kit into space, the Championship club have become the first to reveal their new threads with the help of VR technology.
We are part of The Trust Project What is it?
Reading gave 100 lucky season-ticket holders the unique opportunity to view the new home, away and goalkeeper kits with a virtual reality experience at the Madejski Stadium, before being invited into the players' lounge to view the kits in person.
The kit was then revealed to the world in Reading's dressing room, as members of the Royals' squad exchanged awkward banter while Liam Moore and Joey van den Berg paraded the new kits.

Too Faced | Semi Sweet Chocolate Bar
I've been using this palette non-stop since I bought it. It contains my absolute favorite transition shade, which is 'Peanut Butter'. It smells amazing, and it has such a wide range of natural shades. You can really switch between day- and night looks with this. LOVE! I feel like I say that with every palette, but then again I'm an eyeshadow palette hoarder, and I can't get enough of them.
L.A. Girl | Pro Conceal HD Definition Concealer in 'Toast'
I've been dying to try these concealer for a while now but I haven't been able to buy them because there haven't existed any resellsers that ship to Sweden, well so I thought. I ordered mine from Beautyjoint and yes, I really love this shade as a contour shade. I must say that a good cream contour really makes that contour pop in a way that powders can't. These are really blendable and pigmented, plus they're cheap. So what's not to love?
Embryolisse | Lait Creme Concentre
My favorite daily mosturiser/primer for the past two months. I love the way it makes my foundation look and that it makes my foundation last all day. I don't have problems with my makeup sliding right off my face and I feel like it makes me less shiny. Don't get me wrong, I still get oily and have to apply a powder throughout the day, but I don't feel as oily as opposed to when I use another moisturiser. I can go longer without have to use powder to matte down the excessive shine.
NARS | Velvet Skin Tint in 'St. Motitz'
OMG. Where do I start?! This, this has revolutionized my life. I now can have a flawless looking face without looking cakey or overdone. I haven't used a foundation since I bought this baby because it makes my skin look amazing. Even in direct sunlight my skin still looks amazing and it doesn't look like I'm wearing a shit ton of makeup on my face. Yay! This skin tint has amazing coverage (it's medium coverage) and I only really have to use concealer if I have a big pimple on my face that wants to say hi. So yeah, this makes me want to quit foundation completely, but then I feel sad because there are som many foundations out there that I still want to try.
House of Lashes | False Lashes in 'Iconic'
My go-to lashes at the moment. If you are in doubt as to whether these really live up to the hype, go to my instagram and check out my two latest selfies. Yes, you need these in your life. They have taken my selfie game to another level. Plus they are so big and fluffy that if you screw up your eyeliner or if you aren't that happy with your eyeshadow, pop these babies on and no one will notice, because these babies will completely steal the show. You're welcome.
LUSH | Bubblegum Lip Scrub
Thank you Lush for this lip scrub. I've really been needing to scrub my lips because they've been so dry and flakey because of the dry and cold winter air. And since I've been getting more and more into liquid lipsticks, scrubbing my lips have really been a must.
Carmex | Classic Mosturising Lip Balm
Favorite lip balm ever. I love the smell and the way they make my lips look and feel. The only downside is that it comes in a jar that I have to stick my finger into. I have seen that they have different types of Carmex lip balms and I have to try the others out.
House of Lashes | Lash Glue
The best lash glue I have ever used. Forget the Duo adhesive, this is the lash glue to use. Your lashes will stay put all night without a hitch. The only downside is that this glue is a total bitch to remove. Which actually is a good thing because that's why your lashes stay put, but it's a total hassle to walk around with lash glue stuck to my lashes for days... you feel me?
What products have you been loving in the month of February?
Tarte Cosmetics | Tartelette 2 In Bloom Eyeshadow Palette
My most used palette of January, been using it pretty much everyday. I love it because of it's neutral colors. It's really one of those amazing everyday palettes that work both for day and night. Seriously can't get enough of this palette.
Embryolisse | Lait-Crème Concentré
I got a sample of this when I ordered the Becca and Laura Geller highlighters from Cult Beauty and I just knew instantly that I needed this moisturizer in my life. It's thick and moisturizing which is really great because I have dry patches during winter because of the cold, and the best part is that it doesn't make me as oily as some mattifying primers I've used. So, my skin is now well hydrated and less oily. This is an amazing primer for your makeup because it makes your make up stick to your face and makes your base look flawless. Thumbs up!
Make Up Forever | Ultra HD Foundation
Best foundation I've used to give you that flawless, non-cakey look. I'm addicted. The only downside really is the coverage and the fact that you can't really be in a hurry when applying this, because you won't like the results then. But when applied and built up to fuller coverage, when you're not in a hurry and you have the time to really work it into your skin, this foundation is life.
Laura Geller | Gilded Honey
My most used highlighter at the moment. Anyone who has ever used this knows why it's a favorite.
Ardell | False Lashes in 'Wispies'
Favorite lashes ever! They are easy to apply, they look amazing and you don't even feel them on. I don't like to feel that I'm wearing false lashes because it makes me self conscious. If I don't feel comfortable, then I won't look comfortable. Simple as that. You don't feel these lashes at all, I usually even forget that I'm wearing any.
GlamGlow | Powercleanse Daily Dual Cleanser
I don't know what I was doing with my life before I got my hands on this cleanser. I don't know how much time and water I wasted evey night trying to remove my makeup. With this, I'm done in a few minutes and the prospect of having to wash my face before going to bed isn't as harrowing as it used to be.
Sephora | Sheet masks (not pictured above)
Unfortunately didn't have any at home when this picture was taken and the simple reason for that was that I'd used tham all up. The cooling and tightening feeling these masks leave behind is addictive. You have to try them!
Too Faced | Liquified Longwear Lipstick in 'Melted Chihuahua'
This is my go to lip product for when I'm in a hurry (which is almost every morning). This shade looks natural and I feel like it's an amazing everyday color. I slab this on and I'm good to go.
Do you have a product you've been loving a little extra during the first month of 2016?
Morphe Brushes 11 Piece Sable Brush Set
Jag var lite skeptiskt till att köpa dessa borstar till en början, mest för att de är så över-hypade på Insta och youtube. Jag ångrar faktiskt inte att jag köpte dem, för de är både billiga och bra. Det enda minuset är väl att de fäller så det måste man vara beredd på. De känns inte som billiga borstar och jag var faktiskt överraskad över hur mjuka de var. Så om du är ute efter billiga och bra borstar behöver du inte leta längre.
//I was a bit skeptical towards buying these at first, mostly because they're so overhyped on IG and Youtube. But I don't regret buying them. However, they do shed so beware of that. However they don't feel that cheap and I was a bit surprised at how soft they were. So if you're looking for a good set of brushes for a affordable price, then look no further.
Laura Mercier Silk Crème Oil Free Photo Edition Foundation
Köpte denna för inte så länge sen, men har varit helt såld på den blev min. Den ser naturlig ut och även om det är hög täckning på den och den är matt så känns det knappt att man har den på sig och det ser inte "kakigt" ut. Finns i flera olika färger och bäst av allt finns det färger med gul underton för oss som har lite mer olivfärgad hudton. Eftersom täckningen är så hög behöver jag inte använda concealer och den täcker mina röda partier riktigt bra! Den enda negativa var väl att den var dyr. Men smakar det så kostar det.
//Bought this foundation not that long ago but I've been completely in love with it since I got it! It looks natural and not cakey even though it's a matte formula. It has great coverage (it's medium/high coverage) and the color fits me like a glove. It has a really yellow base which is perfect and looks natural on my olive skin. I don't need to use a concealer when I apply my everyday makeup with this and the only downside is the price. It ain't cheap being pretty.
MAC Eyeshadow in "Honey Lust"
Lätt min favoritskugga någonsin från MAC. Den är så himla fin och passar verkligen till vardags. Har fått komplimanger för den. Bilden gör den verkligen inte rättvisa. Ska ni köpa en MAC ögonskugga, köp denna!
//Easily my favorite eyeshadow ever from MAC. It's so pretty and looks amazing for your everyday make up look. Have gotten compliments when I've worn it and I feel like the picture doesn't do it justice. If you going to buy a MAC eyeshadow, buy this one!
Laura Mercier Loose Translucent Setting Powder
Det ultimata pudret för en perfekt finish. Vet faktiskt inte varför jag väntade så länge med att köpa den, men nu kan jag inte vara utan den. Min make up ä inte färdig förrän jag pudrat mig med denna. Du kan pudra på hur mycket som helst utan att bli kakig och din founation ser helt felfri ut. Den är dyr, men värd varenda krona. Har inte du denna i ditt liv så behöver du den bums!
//The ultimate powder for the perfect finish. I don't know why I waited so long to buy it, but now I can't be without it. My make uo isn't finished untlig I've applied it to my face. You can apply generous amounts of it and still not look cakey and you're foundation looks flawless afterwards. It's expensive but worth every penny. If you don't have this bad boy in your life then you need it ASAP.
Benefit Roller Lash Mascara
Jag har varit ett stort fan av Benefits mascaror ända sen jag hittade "Bad Gal" mascaran i min mammas badrumsskåp en dag när jag helt hade fått slut på mascara själv. Har varit helt såld sedan dess. Jag fick en liten "sample size" av denna mascara i förra månadens Glossybox och bara visste att jag skulle älska den. Min favorit mascara hittills har varit Benefits "They're Real" mascara, men denna får verkligen mina fransar att se helt fantastiska ut. Jag har fått flera komplimanger när jag använt den och jag kommer definitivt köpa mascaran sen när den här lilla är slut.
//I've bee a huge fan of the Benefit mascaras ever since I found the "Bad Gal" mascara in my moms bathroom once when I had completely run out of mascara, and I've been hooked ever since. I recieved this sample in last months Glossybox and I knew I was gonna love it. My favorite mascara up 'til this day had been the "They're Real" mascara, but this one really make my lashes stand out and I get compliments when I wear it. I'll definitely buy a full size of this when it runs out.
Giorgio Armani perfume "Sí"
Min favorit parfym att ha till vardags för tillfället. Den här luktar så himla sensuellt, blommigt och fylligt. Jag älskar tunga och starka parfymer och den här är verkligen perfekt till vardags då den ändå inte är för tung. Definitivt ett måste att ha hemma. Den här och Lancômes "La Vie est Belle" är helt beroendeframkallande.
// My favorite perfume at the moment. It has a sensual and rich flowery smell. I love heavy perfumes and I feel like this one is perfect because it isn't too heavy to wear during the day. This perfume is definitely a must have. This perfume and the Lancôme one "La Vie est Belle" are completely addictive.
Depend O2 Cuticle Peeling
Fick denna fantastiska lilla tub i födelsedagspresent av min bästa vän. Jag vart helt såld när jag använde den och visade såklart upp den för min mamma och som den nagellacks-älskaren som hon är så har hon ju såklart "lånat" den av mig. Vem vet när jag får tillbaka den. Den fungerar genom att du aplicerar den på nagelbanden och efter typ två minuter borstar du bort den med en liten borste och vips så är torra och fnasiga nagelband ett mine blott!
//Recieved this amazing little tube as a birthday present from my best friend. I was completely sold when I used it for the first time and I of course had to show it to my mom. As a the true nailpolish lover that she is, she has "borrowed" this from me indefinitely. Who knows when I'll get it back. You apply this on your cuticles and after a minute or two you brush it off with at small brush and dry cuticles are a memory of the past.

I arrived here in America in the early 1800's from Nigeria, Africa; through what was referred to as the Middle Passage: the name Africans gave to the trip across the Atlantic Ocean to New World enslavement. I was taken from my homeland against my will. I belonged to the tribe of Yoruba which made up about 24% of the slave population here in America. Enslaved Africans represented many different peoples, each with distinct cultures, religions, and languages. Most originated from the coast or the interior of West Africa, between present-day Senegal and Angola. Other enslaved peoples originally came from Madagascar and Tanzania in East Africa. (Nile of the New World)On the ship ride over we were loaded in the lower part of the ship chained to one another. There were so many of us packed in one area that there was hardly any room to spare like animals. When it was time to eat we were fed as though we were dogs they threw the food down to us and the strongest were the only one who ate. I remember the horrible odor that came from those who had defecated on the long trip over. Many on the trip became ill and some even died because of disease but it didn't matter, they were just unshackled and thrown overboard. The day the long trip was finally over I can remember we were removed from the ship and looked over meticulously from head to toe as though we were some animal being checked for any type defect to be later taken to the auction block to be sold to the highest bidder. I can remember wondering "where am I and what is this strange language I hear?" not realizing that I would one day be beaten for using my native tongue.
To meet the growing demands of sugar and cotton, slaveholders developed an active domestic slave trade to move surplus workers to the Deep South. New Orleans, Louisiana, became the largest slave mart, followed by Richmond, Virginia; Natchez, Mississippi; and Charleston, South Carolina. Between 1820 and 1860 more than 60...

Kaustubh Pawar turns the tables on MP
Mumbai 346 for 7 (K Pawar 160*, Chavan 57*, Sudhindra 4-78) lead
Madhya Pradesh 192 (Birla 63, Kulkarni 5-74, Waingankar 3-29) by
154 runs
Kaustubh Pawar rescued Mumbai from a precarious position with a fiercely-determined century and along with the lower order, all but batted Madhya Pradesh out of the Ranji Trophy. Mumbai had begun the day 122 runs behind MP with only five wickets remaining, but Pawar showed tremendous character in grinding out his second hundred in his debut season at a time Mumbai desperately needed someone to bail them out.
That he struggled with his rhythm till he reached the three-figure mark but did not throw his wicket away was a credit to Pawar's temperament. That Mumbai lost only two wickets today after 15 had fallen on the first day was partly due to their tenacity and partly due to the pitch which had eased out.
The first session was MP's only real chance of trying to take the lead but Pawar and Hiken Shah kept them at bay, giving no chances. As he had done yesterday, TP Sudhindra kept the batsmen defensive with excellent control over his lines and lengths but unlike they had done on day one, Mumbai did not succumb against the lack of runs. They kept nudging and guiding for singles and Pawar, especially, continued to leave almost everything that was outside off stump.
He was beaten on numerous occasions by Sudhindra who also had him down on the ground a couple of times as he avoided bouncers. Pawar was even hit on the helmet as he took his eyes off another bouncer but he just refused to get out. There was also only so much Sudhindra could do alone. Hiken signaled Mumbai's growing confidence when he lofted fast bowler Amarjeet Singh for a straight one-bounce four.
Sudhindra managed to break the stand minutes before lunch when Hiken finally fiddled with one outside off stump and nicked to the slip cordon. Mumbai were less than 50 runs behind by then, though. Also, a tail that has Ramesh Powar, Ankeet Chavan and Dhawal Kulkarni is not exactly a tail. Kulkarni arrived ahead of Powar and Chavan and with Pawar holding one end up, calmly pushed up the scoring rate with positive batting. MP were forced to spread the field and bring their innocuous spinners on as Kulkarni soon took Mumbai into the lead with a driven four through extra cover.
Sudhindra was still not done, though. He bowled Kulkarni for 40 with one that bounced from a good length but MP now had Chavan to contend with. With the crucial first-innings lead in the bag, Chavan was able to play his strokes from the start. Pawar, meanwhile, got to his century in uncharacteristic fashion off his 233rd delivery, stepping out to drive the offspin of Jalaj Saxena through extra cover.
The landmark brought out the strokeplayer in Pawar as he started to drive and cut with authority. Chavan cruised to a fifty as well, swinging a six over long-on in between his straight and cover drives. The eighth-wicket stand swelled past 100, taking the game further away from a flagging MP. Pawar showed no signs of fading, still finding the energy to punch and push for the three runs that took him past 150. MP's bowlers tried everything after being let down by their batsmen but once again, Mumbai had someone to do the dirty work and dig them out of the hole.

A bit of news about our members today.
First up, congratulations to our very own Jim Webster who has a new book out – yes everyone, if you want to post information about your new books up here under 'News' tag, you can! I will get some pages for the Gumbee back catalogue I promise. Oh dear, where was I? Ah yes. Books.
Jim's new book, The Flames of the City can be found on Amazon here for UK readers and here for US readers.
On a rather more boring note, the peerless A.F.E. Smith has interviewed me, M. T. McGuire, in the Barren Island Books spot on her blog. It's a bit like that radio 4 show with the records only with books, phnark. So, if you want to have a look at that, you'll find it here.
