Skonto Būve Sponsors the Big Cleanup Action for the Second Year
The organisers and supporters of the Big Cleanup Action came together at the Riga Radio and Television tower on the 19th of January to discuss processing and further development of the project. It is the second year when Skonto Būve Ltd will be one of the general sponsors of the event.
A big part of the activities are devoted to water, which is the theme of this year's Big Cleanup Action. The goal is not only to clean the rivers and other big watersheds from pollution, but also to spruce up their surroundings.
Vita Jaunzeme, manager of the Big Cleanup Action says: "The Big Cleanup is an action which appeals to everybody's sense of responsibility. It does not last for just one day. People who are involved in organisation of the action have been working for it since last autumn and the Cleanup, which will take place in the spring, is just the final event of the chain. We can all live in a more beautiful and better world if everybody takes responsibility for what they do in their thoughts and deeds."
Juris Pētersons, Skonto Būve project leader: We are honoured to be the general sponsors of the Big Cleanup Action for the second time. This year's theme "water" is very up-to-date as we also run other projects related to water, such as"MillionTrout Return", "Tar Ponds' Treatment", and others.
This will be the fifth year when the Big Cleanup Action takes place in Latvia, but the second year when the educational and the yard landscaping projects will be run simultaneously.
This year the Big Cleanup Action all over Latvia will take place on the 21st of April. The President of Latvia Andris Bērziņš has agreed to be the patron of the action, thus continuing the tradition started three years ago.

Significant restoration work carried out in the Grand Gallery of the Rundale Palace with the support of Skonto Būve
By 1 December this year, significant restoration work has already been carried out in the Grand Gallery of Rundale Palace using the donation granted by Skonto Būve. Rundale Palace is the greatest Baroque and Rococo art monument in Latvia.
The western wall of the room has undergone artistic restoration of three painted bays and three decorative areas. The restoration of a gravely damaged painting in the third bay has begun. The southern wall has undergone restoration of the painted areas on the eastern and western sides of the door. On the eastern wall, restoration works have been carried out in the first and second window boxes, reinforcing the layers of paint and primer and partially retouching the painting.
More complex artistic retouching work was done by three certified monumental painting restorers from the IRU (individual restoration company) Rokajs. These restorers have extensive experience in restoring ceiling domes and wall paintings in the most luxurious halls and rooms of Rundale Palace. For educational purposes, five of the best students of the Latvian Academy of Arts Faculty of Restoration (according to their teachers' assessment) were also involved in the restoration of the Grand Gallery monumental paintings, with the approval of the administration of the Rundale Palace Museum.
Restoration of the third bay painting with elements of reconstruction is still to be completed by 1 June 2012, as is the restoration of paintings of two window boxes in the eastern wall.
During the second construction period of the Palace, the Grand Gallery was made from five small rooms into a 30 m long dining room connecting the White Hall and the Golden Hall.
Full version of the acknowledgment: For the contribution of SIA Skonto Būve in the renovation of Rundāle Palace
Minister E.Sprūdžs personally inspects the process of remediation of Inčukalns sulphuric acid tar ponds.
The Minister of Environmental Protection and Regional Development, Edmunds Sprūdžs, visited the Inčukalns sulphuric acid tar ponds to personally inspect the site where Skonto Būve is the general contractor for remediation works.
Other participants of the event were the deputy state secretary of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Regional Development, director of Investment Department Vija Gēme, Chairman of Inčukalns regional council Arvīds Blaus, Director General of the State Environmental Service Vilis Avotiņš, Skonto Būve project manager Juris Pētersons, assistant project manager Rihards Kalniņš and member of the board of Geo Consultants Jānis Ābeltiņš.
Edmunds Sprūdžs, Minister of Environmental Protection and Regional Development: "I am satisfied that in a few years this polluted area will be prepared for certain commercial use as a part of the municipal vision and area development plan. The acid tar ponds will be a place where grass is green and flowers bloom, not where migratory birds and wild animals die."
The remediation of Inčukalns acid tar ponds will prevent further pollution of groundwater and adjacent areas from the site. The quality of groundwater, underground water and soil in the area surrounding the waste disposal site will also be improved to prevent threats to human health and the environment.
During the First Advent, Skonto Būve's Christmas tree was lit
This year, the Skonto Būve Christmas tree, called the Riga Rooster Tree, is decorated in the Latvian national spirit and designed as a Latvian national blanket. The chequered ornaments are associated with traditional Latvian patterns. The decoration of the tree has been created so as to encourage each person passing by to imagine that home feeling that brings peace and warmth to the heart. The colours used on the Riga Rooster Tree are red, white and dark green. These colours symbolise love, light and peace, making the time before Christmas so special.
Traditionally, for the fourth year in a row, the tree is located in the heart of Riga – on the corner of Elizabetes Street and Brīvības Boulevard.
Renovated Sakta Flower Market Is Open
After the four-month long intensive building work, the reconstructed Sakta flower market was opened. In the historical opening event, Riga Mayor Nils Ušakovs and his deputy Andris Ameriks, as well as the Chairman of the Skonto Būve Board Guntis Rāvis took part.
Guntis Rāvis, the Chairman of the Skonto Būve Board: "After years of debates, the authorities of Riga have completed the project. In my opinion, this flower trade site is one of the most interesting and modern flower markets in Europe. We have put our
warm-heartedness into the building process of the new Sakta flower market. Now it is more than just a market – it is one of the symbols of Riga."
Now flower merchants work in modern premises instead of the 14-year-old temporary buildings. The new trade pavilions are fitted with a water supply and drain, heating system and air-conditioning system; climate control is also installed. The market is also fitted with a fire detection system.

The article talks about Jesse who "scrounges for free food at campus events and occasionally skips meals." He doesn't exercise, sleeps only 5 to 6 hours a night and takes 21 credit hours. Universities say that there are a lot of students like him.
"Students who take extreme steps to avoid debt at all costs, may get stuck with something much more financially damaging than moderate student loan debt. They may not wind up with a college degree. To pay for college and minimize borrowing, students are working longer hours at jobs and taking fewer credits. They're less likely to enroll full-time. They're living at home. They're "trading down" to less selective institutions with lower prices, and heading first to cheaper community colleges with plans to transfer later to four-year schools."
Colleges are saying that people like him are less likely to graduate. Universities are saying that everything stated in the above quote is a major risk factor which leads to students not graduating.
I wish I would've done some of that stuff (not the going to a less selective school though), I would've saved a lot of money. I could've lived at home and attended the community college for the first 2 years.
Data also shows that 86% of students who borrow for college attend full-time, compared to 70% of students who don't borrow for school. Also to go along with that data, 60% of full-time students receive a bachelor's degree within 8 years, compared to 25% of part-time students.
I know I'm not the average person, but when I was in college, I often took 21 credit hours and I always worked full-time. It is hard, but it is possible. I graduated with debt, but I do have things and experiences to show for my hard work.

Forget best practices. Forget online learning theories. Forget what the 'experts' say for a minute. What really makes online learning work? The best person to ask is a student.
My entire IDT program was online. I am done with all my coursework (just working on the thesis), and I learned a lot about what good online education looks like by the mere fact that I have been an online student for the past few years.
Of course, instructional design and technology programs should be using best practices in online learning (and mine does). Having the background in instructional design and technology now allows me to reflect upon the subtleties that really make online education motivating and effective.
So what does make online learning work? What makes students come back week to week and semester to semester, and not drop out? I'll tell you what worked for me, and why it worked, and why what worked for me does happen to fall under the best practices in online education. Here it goes:
Synchronous learning. If you've taken an online course, you probably recognize that most are asynchronous in nature. However, offering synchronous sessions throughout a semester (and it doesn't have to be every week) is much more motivating because you get an opportunity to discuss readings and work live as a class.
I took one course that was asynchronous (and granted it was poorly designed – not an IDT course), but if I hadn't had the experience of taking synchronous courses prior to this one course, I would've seriously considered dropping out of the program. It was that awful. When you take an asynchronous course, you feel like you're learning in a vacuum, especially when no sense of community is supported by the instructor.
Synchronous learning is a best practice in online education. And for some people, especially those who are not naturally self-motivated, the requirement to show up at a certain time and place (even online) can go a long way to keep the learner going. Synchronous learning also helps support a greater sense of community among students.
Sense of community. Sense of community is an important characteristic of a positive and motivating learning environment. And while synchronous learning is one way to support that sense of community, it isn't the only way.
For me, one of the ways I've connected with other students in my program is through a Facebook group. It's not a highly active group, but it is a social networking group nonetheless. And it's been a good way to keep in touch with what's going on in my program, as well as what's going on with fellow students. It makes me feel more connected to other students, in ways that the LMS just can't do. The other way I've connected with students is through a listserv, but in terms of sense of community, I think Facebook (or other social media) is a more effective tool.
Great discussions. As an online student, I can say it is an effective practice to have experience in both live discussions as well as online discussion forums. Discussion is a way to demonstrate your understanding, analysis, and evaluation of a given topic (and discussion forums also have the added benefit of improving your writing skills). I found that the online discussions helped me to learn how to craft my arguments better in the live discussions.
Part of discussion is developing argument literacy skills (and I see argument literacy as very closely related to information literacy because you really need to use information effectively to make a good argument). And argument literacy, like all literacies, is situational. Oral and written argument require different sets of skills. Developing written argument skills can help hone the oral argument skills. So discussions in both an asynchronous as well as synchronous format effectively support the development of both types of argument literacy. This is equally true for fully online courses and hybrid courses.
What makes a good discussion? An open-ended question that prompts the student to to do more than just regurgitate information to support an argument. The question should also require students to read more deeply and extrapolate upon a given reading. The role of the instructor in great discussions should be minimal. They are there just to steer the discussion in a fruitful direction.

I receive a lot of email asking for personal recommendations that I have yet to cover on my website and SNS accounts. One such request is the most popular and beloved street food tteokbokki, spicy rice cakes found all over the city but only a handful of places doing them the right way. Look no further than your local jaerae sijang 재래시장 (traditional market) for the good stuff, which is where I found this
Bunshik 분식 joints are a dime a dozen in Seoul, selling street foods such as tteokbokki 뗙볶이, soondae 순대 (blood sausage), odeng 오뎅 (fish cake), and a variety of fried twigim 튀김. But none get any better than this 40-year-old modest eatery at Youngchun Market. Run by an elderly couple, they serve rice cakes made from rice (not wheat flour) in a fiery-looking sauce that is nostalgically old-school (not overly sweet and spicy). If that wasn't good enough, the rice cakes here are the perfect, chewy size—not the long ones where you have to decide to eat half or risk getting a stain by eating it whole. The crispy twigim are equally delicious; deep-fried in clean oil (no rancidity at all) and not sitting out bunched/crowded together like other places. As per custom, you can have your twigim mixed together with the rice cakes or have them separately, the latter being my preference to ensure the twigim stay crisp and crunchy. No matter what you decide, the two make for a perfect marriage of irresistible flavors and textures.
Foods sold at any bunshik eatery are always inexpensive, but this simple combination is an absolute steal at 4,000 won (from my knowledge prices have recently increased to 3,000 won per serving across the board, minus the 500 won fish cakes). Highly recommend eating here and then burning off the carbs inside the traditional market or nearby at Independence Park, which houses Seodaemun Prison and other historic sites just outside the station.

What is Coupon Lasso?
Coupon Lasso is one of the newest products of Smart Apps, which is responsible for various undesirable applications, including Atomic Savings, Start Savin, and the like. Even though this software might seem very useful because it claims to be able to save your time and money by providing various coupons, you should know that it is not advisable to keep this application installed onto your computer. The main reason is that Coupon Lasso will just burden your activities on the web and might even cause harm to the security of your system. As its extensions will be installed on Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox browsers, you will not be able to get rid of Coupon Lasso by just switching your default browser. If you are ready to delete this program but do not know how to do that, you should definitely continue reading the article in order to find out all the necessary information regarding the deletion process.
How does Coupon Lasso act?
One of the main reasons why Coupon Lasso is not a program that you should keep on the system is the fact that it is going to flood your screen with various annoying commercials. As the specialists of anti-spyware-101.com have found out, you are going to see various coupons, pop-ups, deals, and other kinds of advertisements. You will soon find them extremely annoying; however, it is very probable that their presence might result in the entrance of malicious software as well. In addition to this, it is very likely that Coupon Lasso will record some of the information associated with your browsing habits in order to provide you relevant ads. If you want to stop this from happening, you should know that you can delete Coupon Lasso anytime.
Furthermore, it has been found out that Coupon Lasso is going to install another potentially unwanted application called BenchUpdater alongside. It acts like adware helper and is known to be capable of changing Windows hosts file. In order to avoid similar undesirable programs in the future, you should never download software from doubtful sources. Moreover, proper installation of new programs might help you to avoid a bunch of useless software; thus, it is advisable to select Custom/Advanced installation during the installation of new applications and carefully read all the information provided in the setup wizard.

Even though Coupon Lasso can be classified as malware, it can be erased from the system without any difficulties because you will be able to do that via Control Panel. If you are searching for a quicker solution, you should know that you can scan the system with an antimalware tool, for instance, SpyHunter.

The Beck Center for the Arts has a long history of enriching the Northeast Ohio community through performing arts, arts education, visual art, and therapy programs.
But the 87-year-old Lakewood institution at 17801 Detroit Ave. needs a bit of a facelift to its 3.5-acre campus to keep serving the 60,000 people who rely on the Beck Center annually for entertainment and services.
On Tuesday, March 10, Beck officials will kick off the public portion of its $5.7 million "Creating our Future" capital campaign to update two buildings—one of which is more than 100 years old—and raze a third building to bring the complex into the 21st century.
The Lakewood Little Theatre in 1939, on the corner of Detroit and Wayne avenues in Lakewood, part of the Beck Center today. Previously it was the Lucier Theatre, from 1926 to 1930."There's a huge need to create accessibility, and there's a huge need to create energy efficiency," says Cindy Einhouse, the Beck Center's president and CEO. "Many of our spaces had different original purposes, and the level of teaching is so high, we want to make sure the experience is at the same level."
The campaign began its quiet phase more than three years ago, says Einhouse, and has in that time raised $3.5 million from Northeast Ohio individuals, corporations, and foundations, but now officials are asking for the public to help raise the remaining money needed for the renovations.
"You go to the people who know you best to get it going," Einhouse says. "And now it's time for the public phase," which will kick off March 10 with the Raise the Roof event in the main gallery. The rally will include a reception, short presentation, and renderings of the project.
The renovations and updates, designed by Bialosky Cleveland, will turn the Beck Center campus into a state-of-the-art facility, equipped to serve everyone who comes through the center for arts entertainment and education. Turner Construction will oversee the construction.
The campus consists of three buildings with 77,500 square feet of programmable space—some of which includes the original 1915 building that housed the Lucier Movie Theater that existed until the beginning of the Great Depression. The Lakewood Little Theater took the building over in 1929 before it became the Beck Center for the Arts in 1972 after the last capital campaign.
Beck Center for the Arts rendered site plan.
Businessman Kenneth C. Beck earned naming rights to the center when he matched the $600,000 raised to break ground on the theater expansion in 1975 (the previous largest fundraiser was held at the height of the Depression, when Lakewood Little Theatre patrons raised $10,000 for a proscenium opening to the new stage—pretty impressive, says Einhouse).
With a combination of 1915 and 1975 buildings, a lot of the renovations center around creating greater accessibility throughout the campus, says Einhouse, beginning with the 1970s front entrance to the main building.
"The entrance is too narrow, and the vestibule isn't big enough for someone in a wheelchair to come in the front door," Einhouse says of the current entrance, noting that wheelchair users must enter the theater through the rear entrance.
Part of the renovations includes installing ramps and accessible doorways throughout the Beck Center.
Replacing the front entrance, as well as replacing a 1970s inefficient translucent skylight that leaks, are two of the tactics the renovation is taking to save energy. The Beck Center recently replaced its theatrical lighting with energy-efficient LED lighting, thanks to a grant from the Gund Foundation.
Einhouse says the plans also call for tearing down the Creative Arts building to save money. "We are in the process of getting approval to tear down the building and make it into a pocket park," she says. "It will save a lot of money in the future because it costs more to maintain three buildings instead of two."
Beck Center clients in the art therapies program.Programs now held in that building—dance and creative arts therapies—will transfer to the other two buildings. Visual Arts and Theater Education classrooms will also be updated. The Armory, or the back building, will be converted to a music and creative arts therapies center and improve the existing performance space.
In the 1915 section, which comprises the classrooms, there are steps down into every room, making them inaccessible to many patrons. Since the Beck Center is known for providing arts education for all ages and abilities, including sensory-friendly music programming, Einhouse says these changes are especially important to the center.
Plans call for literally raising the roof on the second floor of the main building to elevate the current eight-foot ceilings to 16 feet high—allowing the dancers to leap to new heights in two new state-of-the-art dance studios. Four dance studios on the first floor make up a combined 4,100 square feet.
In addition to raising the funds for the renovations, Einhouse says money will also be earmarked to create a "Fund for Innovative Programming of the Future" to allow the Beck Center to keep up with technology in the arts.
"We don't even know what that is, because arts education and technology evolve so quickly," she says. "There will be future innovation we want to be prepared for, take advantage of, and offer it to the public."

About the artwork
Runner-up, Come to Ostrobothnia poster contest, 2016!
In the words of the artist:
When designing the poster I wanted to visualize the Ostobothnian (and Finnish) summer night in a new way. Instead of focusing only on the pastel colored sky I worked with the contrast between darkness and light. I often work with the intergration between image and text, just like in this case.
Surely travel posters can't simply remain a cry from the past?
Absolutely not. We live in a completely visual world where the picture is stronger than ever. That's why the following question hit us: How would contemporary artists depict Finland of today?
We could not let that thought go, so since 2016 we continuously arrange international travel poster contests and we've also asked specific graphic designers and artists to create new Finnish travel posters for us.
So now Finland once again attracts travellers with glamour and cries of joy from paradise.
With the help of the travel poster!
About the product
Glamorous greetings!
Our postcards are offset-printed in Finland on high quality Finnish cardboard.

One lucky whale was rescued by a fisherman last month. The incident occurring off the coast of Central California while a crew was fishing for eels. The fisherman, Sam Synstelien, jumped into the rescue the trapped humpback whale.
The whale had a thick rope wrapped around its tail and back. The rope was limiting the whale's ability to swim correctly. That's how the fishermen spotted the rope. The whale was swimming in an odd way which warranted a closer look.
Synstelien jumped from the boat into the water and swam towards the whale. Once he was close enough he started cutting the rope away from the whale. Eventually, he was able to completely free the whale from the entanglement.
Everyone involved, including the whale, survived the incident. However, according to officials jumping into the water was unnecessary and may be dangerous. According to a spokesman, "We've had people die trying to get in the water, and just last year, we lost one of our responders. Even though it seems like it's a very stressful situation, we usually have days, weeks, sometimes even months to find these animals and get this gear off."
If you see a whale in distress, then please call the local marine mammal hotline.

For years, Frank Gore helped the 49ers win some big games. Now the 49ers are apparently helping their former star win some big money.
The popular former San Francisco running back-turned-gambler apparently won $65,000 Sunday after placing a $50,000 bet that his former team would beat the Dallas Cowboys in an NFC wild card playoff game.
Locked and loaded…🔒🔒🔒Let's Gooooo‼ #SFvsDAL https://t.co/QSw5i3D7Zm pic.twitter.com/6SspkuLwnx
— Frank Gore (@frankgore) January 15, 2022
That gamble worked out a lot better than when he bet on himself and climbed into a boxing ring with ex-NBA star Deron Williams last month.
And Gore's not stopping with just one winning bet. He's apparently letting it ride and wagering up to $100,000 that the 49ers will beat the Packers on Saturday night. Gore, who helped the 49ers reach three NFC Championships and a Super Bowl, said, "I'll be backing my boys in the bay again!!"
Gore posted a picture of his winning bet slip on Twitter, which shows his winning moneyline bet via the online betting site Bovada. Gore placed the bet at +130, meaning a winning $100 bet would net $130.
The Twitter post from Gore does make a couple of things clear: 1) Betting with your heart can sometimes be very profitable; 2) Although he's a free agent, the 38-year-old Gore's days of playing in the NFL are finally over, even if he has yet to officially announce the end to his 16-year career.
Frank Gore tells us on @GMFB that he is not returning to the NFL, under any conditions, unless…it's the week of the Super Bowl. The week of the Super Bowl, he'd come back and yes, he can still play.
— Peter Schrager (@PSchrags) December 2, 2021
Gore, who spent 10 years with the 49ers and is the NFL's third all-time leading rusher (16,000 yards) said last month he'd be ready to play in the Super Bowl if any team needed an emergency fill-in. But the NFL has strict rules against players and any other club personnel partaking in gambling, particularly wagering on its games.
The inconvenient truth is that Gore is an official partner with Bovada, so there's a promotional aspect attached to whatever wagers the five-time Pro Bowl running back makes. Although it remains unclear what Gore's arrangement with the gambling site is, a Bovada spokesman said, "Nothing was gifted (to Gore) on our end."

When it comes to title shots, Demian Maia has been a patient man.
On a six fight win streak, the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu icon has been nearly untouchable as of late, and after defeating Carlos Condit in under two minutes in August, finds himself (at last) in title contention.
Who he'll face, however, depends on the winner of the Tyron Woodley-Stephen Thompson bout this weekend. Maia will be in attendance.
"I'm going to UFC 205 as a guest fighter," Maia, speaking with Bloody Elbow. "It will be great to be around, interact with the fans, talk to the press, watch this historic event and most of all watch Wonderboy versus Woodley.
"Both are very dangerous, very good fighters. At this level, especially at the welterweight division, top fighters are very even and anyone can beat anyone on a good night. Just look at the fight between Woodley and Lawler, a lot of people thought Woodley had no chance, and look at what happened."
Recently, there had been rumours of a Georges St-Pierre return to the sport and for a moment it looked as if the Canadian legend could have come back to fight for the 170-pound title. Something, Maia says, would have been unfair.
"We have to keep in mind that this is a sport and in order to keep growing we have to always keep that in sight," he said. "The proper balance between spectacle, entertainment, and sport is very important, and I don't see anyone else in the welterweight division deserving the next title shot more than I do at this point.
"If you look at the recent welterweight title fight history, if memory serves me well, Woodley got a title shot on a two-fight winning streak, Condit got it after one win, Lawler got it after a three-fight win streak, and then again after two wins in a row, Nick Diaz got it after a loss, Rory on a three-fight winning streak… The only exceptions were Hendricks, who won six before a shot, and Wonderboy now, who got his well deserved shot after seven wins in a row.
"So, I really believe I earned it and I have to believe that will be the case. I'm turning 39-years-old, and I feel like I'm still getting better and performing better with each fight. I have been in this sport for a long time, and I paid my dues. I'm going to New York and I want to get the next shot."

ANOTHER VIEW: Get moving on Glades fix
A Palm Beach Post editorial
This dance is getting old.
Today, President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit Lake Okeechobee to promote the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' work on the Herbert Hoover Dike and a reservoir in the Everglades Agricultural Area.
But two weeks ago, environmentalists and Trump supporters -- U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., U.S. Rep. Brian Mast, R-Palm City, and U.S. Rep. Francis Rooney, R-Naples -- wavered between frustration and disappointment when the president's proposed 2019-20 budget included just $63.3 million for Everglades restoration rather than the $200 million they had requested.
[READ: Trump visits Lake Okeechobee in key electoral battleground]
Politically, this was not a good look for these high-profile Florida Republicans; especially since Scott, DeSantis and Mast had all run successfully in 2018 on their cozy relationships with the president.
This may explain why, as of Thursday afternoon, that none of them had publicly committed to being with Trump in Canal Point on the lake's southeastern shore to "highlight the work".
We wouldn't blame them. This federal money, part of the $1.6 billion allocated for Everglades restoration in the omnibus Water Resources Development Act Trump signed in October, is crucial to helping reduce the number of damaging discharges from Lake O to the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee rivers by 63 percent.
Thus, when the White House budget request "failed to include sufficient funding for Everglades restoration" efforts -- a month after all-but assuring Floridians that it would -- the GOP lawmakers were a bit disheartened.
"For the third year in a row, the administration's budget request underfunds critical projects in South Florida," the lawmakers said in a joint statement. "It is incredibly short-sighted to continue to underfund a series of projects that are absolutely necessary to ensure the environmental sustainability and economic vitality of one of the most dynamic regions of our nation."
Not to mention, those toxic algae blooms are a health hazard.
Meanwhile, Florida has steadily increased funding for Everglades projects each year. In January, DeSantis recommended the state appropriate $360 million for Everglades restoration projects as part of his budget recommendations. And judging from the first round of budget talks in the state House and Senate, that number will be easily met.
Yes, the White House budget is only a recommendation. Congress is responsible for appropriating federal funding for projects.
"But Florida cannot continue to suffer through repeated outbreaks of toxic blue-green algae and red tide," Everglades Foundation CEO Eric Eikenberg said in a statement. "The nation's third-most populous state is undergoing a perennial environmental disaster and an economic catastrophe, and the federal government must fulfill its role in helping solve the problem of Florida's waterways."
We agree.
We don't need another premature victory lap. We don't need any more half-empty promises. We need you to show us the money, Mr. President.

This is a "stub" of a page I could expand.
For now, I will present the "start" and "end" points of an experiment. If interest is shown, there could be discussion of various matters.
I have a set of photos, similar to what you see below, taken pretty well every seven days over a period of four months... the time it took my nails to grow about 12mm. Measurements could be taken manually, OR, for a different challenge, to illustrate a technique, software could be used to "read" the images.
Do nails grow at a constant rate? With the as-yet-unpublished photos, we could see, couldn't we?
What do you think of the experimental technique? What strengths can you find? What weaknesses?
Nails as they were 23 March, 2017. Note the small black (India ink) lines at base of each nail. (Just the four fingers, not the thumb. Should have done thumb too. Think about it: Quite likely that it has evolved to replace nail more quickly. Or maybe, being a thicker nail, it grows more slowly?) I believe one of the marks on the little finger got "moved" slightly over the course of the experiment. Sigh.
Each small square on the graph paper is 2mm on a side... should have been marked on it! (So many tings You Can Do Better when you repeat the experiment!)
... and here we see the same hand, 27 July, 2017...
The little finger had three marks, left, centre, and right. (In the first photo they "bump into" each other somewhat.)
This was to check that the intuitive idea that the nail grows at the same speed across its width is correct.
The left hand mark, I think, suddenly got a bit ahead of the other two. (Or the other two fell behind the one!... Seems unlikely.) I presume that I just made a mistake when marking one week.
In te final image, the left hand mark has already "fallen off" the end of the fingernail.
(And disclaimer: "Don't Try (any of) This At Home", unless you are over 18, and willing to accept responsibility for what YOU choose to do. (Under 19s: Ask your parents.)...
Whew! Now THAT's out of the way...
The marks come off quite easily... perhaps a useful property of fingernails: It is hard to make things stick to them. Besides the marks, I put SMALL, SHALLOW scratches where you see ink. That made RE-inking the marks (accurately) easier.
Don't make DEEP scratches... you will compromise the strength and anti-bacterial integrity of your nails. (On my right hand, I damaged the bed of one nail. (Years ago, in a completely unrelated enterprise.) Since then, that nail is "split" down the middle... a tiresome nuisance.)
Your thoughts welcome. What should I add to this? If you found it even faintly amusing, I would very much appreciate a Facebook "Like" for it, to bring it to a wider audience. I sometimes wonder if it is worth creating these things. If no one sees them, it isn't!
Have you heard of Flattr? Great new idea to make it easy for you to send small thank you$ to people who provide Good Stuff on the web. If you want to send $$erious thank yous, there are better ways, but for a small "tip" here and there, Flattr ticks a lot of boxes which no one else has found a way to do yet. Please at least check out my introduction to Flattr, if you haven't heard of it? "No obligation", as they say!Flat Earth Academy page- qedit.
Search across all my sites with the Google search button at the top of the page the link will take you to.
Search just this site without using forms,
Or... again to search just this site, use...
The search engine merely looks for the words you type, so....
*! Spell them properly !*
Don't bother with "How do I get rich?" That will merely return pages with "how", "do", "I", "get" and "rich".
I have other sites. My Google custom search button will include things from them....

This page's editor, Tom Boyd, will be pleased if you get in touch by email.
Page qWILL BE tested for compliance with INDUSTRY (not MS-only) standards, using the free, publicly accessible validator at validator.w3.org. Mostly passes. There were two "unknown attributes" in Google+ button code, two further "wrong" things in the Google Translate code, and similar in Flattr code. Sigh.

How to Fertilize Colorado (Blue) Spruce
Colorado blue spruce trees (Picea pungens "Glauca") are large evergreen conifers with blue-gray needles. They're often used as privacy screens, windbreaks or accent trees, growing in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 2 through 8. Colorado blue spruce trees don't require frequent fertilization, but an application in early spring, before the growing season, provides an extra boost of nutrients that can increase the length of short or sparse needles and improve their color.
Measure the length from the tree to the outer canopy edge or dripline. Extend twice that length beyond the edge of the dripline. This area between the drip line and the outer point is the root zone.
Measure the diameter of the tree from one side of the canopy to the other. Multiply this number by itself to determine the square footage. Use 1 pound of fertilizer for every 100 square feet.
Sprinkle 10-10-10 slow-release granulated fertilizer over the soil in the root zone. Use a fertilizer spreader or a jar with holes punched in the lid to evenly disperse the fertilizer.
Water the soil with about 2 inches of water to incorporate the fertilizer and prevent fertilizer burn.

1. Complex time-of-day call routing for multiple destinations or specific individuals in your organization, decreases caller effort.
Do your resource destinations shift to another department within your organization — after hours, at lunchtime, or on weekends? Do individuals need to be accessible at specific locations depending on the day of the week? Now, Parlance Service can follow your complex schedule, to route callers to the right resource, at any given time.
2. More advanced voice recognition technology and programming eases caller frustration and improves self-service rates, quickly routing callers to the correct destination.
Parlance Service now has:
a. Improved recognition to better understand conversational requests.
b. Improved programming to interpret millions of pronunciations. (Callers using varied accents or diction/inflection will still be connected to the right destination when they speak the name of a person or department.)
3. Parlance WebTools now provides more advanced data management tools for agents and directory administrators. The increased capabilities enable consistently accurate information at your fingertips.
Parlance WebTools now has:
a. Unlimited directory fields to reduce the labor required for continuous updating of multiple data sources. You can easily propagate definitive data throughout your organization because Parlance Directory now allows you to import, store and view as many fields of data as you desire.
b. Unlimited alternate names in your Parlance Directory to enable callers to request people and departments by any name familiar to them and still reach the correct destination. Records in your Data Sources now accommodate as many name variations as you need.
c. A fullname field to remove friction from caller experience and better support how callers are asking for the people and places in your organization. WebTools now allows you to enter a department or place as a fullname. *If you have an object that is split between first and last name fields (i.e. Psychology = first name, Department = last name), you can easily convert to a single, combined fullname field. A single field enables Parlance Service tools to be smarter, automatically distinguishing between people and places, so callers connect to their destination with less effort.
4. Personalized phone support for groups such as doctors and executives eases internal communication and saves time, often in critical circumstances.
Parlance Service significantly expands special call handling capability to now include large groups. Our latest programming identifies incoming phone numbers that receive special treatment and answers the phone accordingly. One application of this enhancement is to provide quick access to destinations available only to VIPs.
5. Better visibility of service utilization reduces revenue leakage.
Parlance Service improves call blocking analysis and tracking of simultaneous port usage to more quickly identify when increased system capacity is required in order to ensure every caller receives immediate access.
6. Embedding collected information into call transfers improves agent efficiency and caller experience at the same time.
Parlance Service improvements now feature the capability to embed data from caller interactions, reducing the need for callers to repeat informationwhen they connect to an agent.
7. New, higher density service units increase call capacity.
Parlance Service units now accommodate twice as many simultaneous calls, reducing resource requirements for your IT department.

Q&A: "You can't choose HR software just by asking for recommendations on LinkedIn"
HR technology expert Kate Wadia tells Ciphr why choosing a solution requires more work than simply asking your peers what they use, and the five signs you might need different HR software
Cathryn Newbery
Cathryn Newbery
HR technology expert Kate Wadia tells Ciphr why choosing a solution requires more work than simply asking your peers what they use, and the five signs you might need different HR software
When Kate Wadia, now managing director of Phase 3 – a specialist HRIS consultancy and services firm – was first tasked with leading an HR systems project as part of her in-house HR role, she "thought that was something you just did as an HR person. I found it wasn't quite so easy; it was a desperately dark art". So Wadia set about teaching herself about technology in her spare time – eventually setting up her own user groups and joining the team at Phase 3 in 2014.
Wadia tells Ciphr why HR professionals need to look beyond glossy tradeshows in their quest to find the right HR software, how to tell if you need to upgrade your tech, and why tender processes don't always lead to the best result.
How can an HR team go about identifying a need for HR technology?
These days, I think the need for technology is kind of made. Organisations still have to translate that need into a real business case, which is where a lot of help and support is needed – in quantifying that need on paper, and making a tangible case in your own context. That remains a difficulty. But the actual pain of manual systems or old legacy systems, or of convoluted integrations or customisations, tends to create an impetus to go out there and look for a product.
What are some of the signs that an existing HR solution is no longer fit for purpose?
Rapid organisational growth is going to be a driver for systems change in many, many cases. If you still have an on-premise solution, then the move to cloud is pretty obvious these days for many, but not all, organisations. Indeed, if your system is not operating on some sort of SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) or PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) model, then you probably need to be looking at those kinds of shifts in your licence model.
Other signs might be the pain of outdated systems in your office: manual processes and payroll teams spending hours and hours doing manual calculations, for example; if you have disparate data sources with lots of spreadsheets floating around; or none of your communications being done in-system. Too much customisation of process and of a system might also lead to increased system decay and unsuitability. In some cases, there might even be an irretrievable breakdown in your relationship with your software provider.
What are the best ways of understanding if a product might be the right fit for your organisation?
It's well worth going to exhibitions and tradeshows because you get a feel for the current themes, and the choice that's available on the market. What you don't necessarily get at these events is a thorough representation of that particular product, especially when it comes to personnel; if you think about the types of people at those events, firstly, they are just one individual, and, secondly, they are unlikely to be working on your project.
You are much better off looking at objective sources of information – such as referrals, testimonials and reviews – and getting under the skin of the actual products.
It's also vital to work from your own particular requirements. I would never recommend the sorts of conversations I see on LinkedIn: asking your peers "what system do you think is best?" I'm an expert in this field and I can't recommend one to someone on LinkedIn or in response to a 'quick' email. System selection just doesn't work that way. It is an area where there is under-investment by many organisations.
Who are you seeing leading in-house HRIS projects: HR, IT or procurement teams?
Who owns the projects of choosing and implementing an HR product is a really interesting question. One mistake we at Phase 3 quite often hear about is a project being far too IT dominated, or procurement dominated. I think the procurement teams can help a great deal, because they tend to have the type of skillset that HR people aren't terribly good at. But I think if the system is to be a people system, the project needs to be led by the 'people' people.
What are some of the key causes of failed HR systems projects?
Scoping matters hugely. You have to understand expectations on all sides, which can be difficult if you are a less technical person who is owning the project. There will be a lack of familiarity – with the nature of different types of consultancy and what support you can expect; with what to expect of certain system modules; with how difficult different bits of the project work are; with the costs involved; and with the timeframes. The deeper an understanding you can have of your requirements, and what you're expecting to achieve, the better.
Are tender processes useful for helping to understand the scope of a project?
They can be enormously valuable, but they need to be well managed. Too often I think they are managed to a generic formula that's intended to suit the broader concept of technical implementation – rather than people technology specifically. More important information in your tender than a 400-item checklist should be your particular context – the things that differentiate your organisations' needs from those of other ones.

The Nigerian music scene is strikingly rich with the best crop of artists in all of Africa. The name "Wizkid" is a household one and sure rings a bell in this clime of the world. He was born Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun on the 16th of July 1990 to a religious family in Lagos, Nigeria.What is Wizkid net worth in Naira and Dollars as you would like to know?

Live Performance And Shows
Starboy as he labels himself is highly sought after owing to the enormous hearts he has won through his music albums and live renditions. He charges about N3 to N5million in any show he's billed to perform and with an itinerary full of bookings and appointments, his account is always on the sunny disposition.
CEO of Starboy Entertainment
With a record label to call his own after severing ties with his former boss Banky W in EME records, he has lists of artist signed under him and sure makes some cool cash off them, although none of his arts has released any big hit album yet, he still makes his money via bookings and single releases from them. L.A.X, R2BEES, Mr. Eazi and Maleek Berry are all working under his record label.

Dying while wishing for a chance to start over has to be the most painful way to go. I know this because I've seen it. It is one of the most painful things I've ever had to witness. My daddy had aggressive, metastatic prostate cancer that spread to his spine, among other places, causing him great pain. One day, as he was waiting to be released from the cardiac ICU, in my typical "foot-in mouth manner," I made a comment about dying. My daddy asked me, "Do you think that's what's happening here?"
I looked at him, unable to form a response. He looked tired, sick. He not only had cancer, but also only about 25% of his heart function, and an abdominal aneurysm. He was wishing for his do-over—I could tell. He wished he had taken better care of his body, gone to the doctor sooner and more often. I believe he wished he had put less faith in doctors and more in the one true healer, but that could've been just my wish instead.
As cliché as it sounds, life does offer many chances with broken relationships, with life choices, with health, and most importantly— infinite chances to start over with your relationship with God. Because we have a God who can heal all things, who can use all the good and the bad for His purpose, we have a God who specializes in start-overs. But my daddy wasn't going to have time to start over on his health. This was the painful reality we were faced with as I tried to think of what to say in response to his question about facing his own mortality.
I sat next to him on the hospital bed. "No, Daddy. I think you still have some time left, but I think you have to want it, more than you have ever wanted anything. You have to fight for it, really fight for it; really want it." That was all I could say. I wasn't even sure if it made sense or if it was theologically sound. He wanted to go back in time, and I was unable to figure out how to respond properly.
I knew in my heart, at that moment, it was too late for him to make a physical change. Less than a month later, he was gone. The truth is: It's always too late for a do-over. The past is done. My daddy's personal window of opportunity for improving his health had passed, but I was scared and in denial. I wasn't ready for him to give up fighting. The good news is: It's never too late to start over on what's most important. Today is what matters. Make the apology. Mend the fence. Reach out. Pray. Forgive. Start. Even though no one can do their lives over again, we can all start anew mentally and spiritually anytime.
One of the core values at my church is "We give up things we love for things we love even more." I have a modified version of this as one of my personal mantras, for lack of a better term. The core value goes on to say, "It's an honor to sacrifice for Christ and His Church." The more I thought about my words to my daddy: "You have to want it more than anything …" the more I realized there was truth to that. Make it your priority to start over. Don't be afraid to give something up when you know God is asking you to. Desire change because it's an honor to sacrifice your habits so that Christ can win in your life. Desire it more than being stuck. You'll need a fire inside you to push yourself toward making a fresh start.
Where do you start when you want to start over?
You're going to need to start with letting go. Realize that whatever happened to make you want a redo has passed. Let go of shame that makes you feel stuck when you remember your past mistakes. Realize that with God's help, every moment can be a new start.
Then, you need to think it through. Think about your do-over wish. What do you want to be better about your life? Write it down. Do you want it more than anything? Don't find yourself clinging to hope with one hand and grasping for your "do-over" with the other.
Where do you go from there?
You've thought. You've written down what you need to change. Now, it's time to choose one small step. Resist the temptation to figure out the entire plan from A-Z. There is no way you'll guess it all correctly, anyway. Many years ago, my pastor, Craig Groeschel, did a New Year's message called One Thing, in which he spoke about the power of changing just one thing at a time. This is a great place to begin when you're ready to start over. Want to change jobs? Start by looking at your outdated resume. Want to work on your health? Start by cutting out one thing you know is harming you (even if you can only cut it out once per day, that's a great start). Want to mend a complicated relationship? Start by making the first step: a phone call, a text. Want a relationship with God? Start by praying and talking directly to God. You don't have to be good at it—you just have to do it.
Starting over doesn't have to be a big, huge, complicated step. You don't have to have it all figured out. Starting somewhere is as good as starting anywhere, and any day is as good as today. Every day is another chance to turn it all around. You are capable of having a good life, a godly life you want more than anything. Pray about it. Talk to God about it. Even if you don't believe it yet, talk to God about it. He will still listen. Start over.

All ages of a congregation/ community to take part in together. This resource provides options for children and adults to engage in the same session regardless of age or background.
£8.99 for Resource book. A5 "The Journey" also available for £6.99 and explains the background and concepts behind the resource.
Very good. Clear layout with helpful icons and subheadings. Appealing matte A4 exterior with glossy imprints.
A list of themes are given for each session but no explicit aim is stated as these sessions are intended for people to explore the topics and their own thoughts themselves. The focus of the session is given in each session title though.
Very accessible for all leaders. Language is easy to interpret, and notes act as helpful prompts without giving away all the answers. The instructions for running the session do not require an in-depth knowledge of the Christian faith necessarily, and this is in line with the resource objective of being accessible to those who have an extensive experience of church, to those who do not.
Church leaders, youth group leaders, kids leaders and other adults enthusiastic about exploring themes in the Bible.
Very helpful. Available at www.exploretogether.org, resources range from music, audio files and prayers, to stories and questions to answer. Participant resources help to focus each section of a session, while providing engaging material for younger people as well as adults.
Digital material is relevant, recent and offers a range of material per session to cater for all learning styles and attention spans!
The sessions in EXPLORE TOGETHER are intended to support the whole community growing in faith. This means preparation is quite extensive and may seem a little intimidating to those churches going out of their comfort zone. During the 'Explore' section, setting up the different 'zones' means gathering lots of materials and finding appropriate spaces. Depending on your group size, a larger area may be needed to accommodate for all zones. Running these sessions should be a group effort in order to make the task of preparation more manageable. You may also choose to incorporate or remove certain options, for example, having someone do a brief talk would require extra planning. Leaders and helpers should also ensure they are familiar with the session before running it, in order to prep for any questions which may arise from the community/congregation. Online materials need to be downloaded and printed, other materials may need to be bought but are listed in each layout.
Yes, resource and guidance support available at www.exploretogether.org
Very well indeed. Interaction is encouraged by giving opportunities for group prayer, a 'chat zone' to talk through the teaching and a time to share thoughts and personal conclusions. There are many other opportunities for interacting too in other 'Explore' options but these give a choice of sharing learning with each other, or for an individual to contemplate themes themselves.
Extremely well, learning style is very much a focus for this resource. Participants are given options to learn in the 'Explore' section of every session. This accommodates for people who learn by seeing, hearing, thinking aloud, reading, doing and reflecting. There are many different stimuli to allow all people to access the teachings.
The resource is aimed at all-age community groups or congregations. The layout is adaptable for all ages and all cultural backgrounds and levels of knowledge of the Christian faith. As the aim is for people to explore together, participants are encouraged to help each other grow in faith. The sessions require quite a lot of preparation so a strong team to support would be best with larger groups. In some cases, there may need to be quite a bit of space for activities to be separate from each other, but within the same space. This resource may seem a little daunting for churches which have rigid structures and routines, but these sessions perfectly encompass a balance of Biblical truth with innovative approaches. This resource can be used for all people, young and old. Sessions can be tailored to last between 60 minutes to 90 minutes.
Very well, in 'Share' sections of each session, and in all of the zones for exploring the passages.
40% directly Bible based, on the passages and extra reading presented. The rest of the session is made up of activities to interpret, understand and apply the teaching.
Biblical material is presented by means of reading passages, listening to short talks, reflecting on topics and many many more. As mentioned previously, this resource thrives in its ability to be accessible for people who learn in all sorts of differing ways.
Each session has a set of questions presented early on to focus the thinking of participants, this may be broad for example "How do you know Jesus is alive?" or it may be more personal to each individual present, for example "Do you recognise yourself… as a character in the story?" Either way, these questions directly link each topic to a real, perceivable aspect of everyday life, and challenge those taking part to think about how they live and who they live for. This is more focussed on adults, children are encouraged to take concepts and apply them to their activities.
This resource is open, with a positive focus on prayer and Jesus being good news for all people.
Green book: Whole-life discipleship is indirectly and consistently presented by confronting participants with the truth of Christianity, and then encouraging them to respond by how they live daily. Session 10 'In all you say or do' uses the story of Paul in Acts 18 to personify honouring God in all circumstances, and encouraging participants to do the same. The teachings highlight that being a follower of Jesus is a full-time commitment.
Blue book: Session 9 specifically focuses on whole-life discipleship by the use of Paul's letter to the Corinthians in 1 Corinthians 10:31. The session encourages participants to see how Paul taught that whatever we do, we should be doing it for the glory of God. There is also a session on Paul's letter to the Galatians, where he similarly encourages them to live for God day by day. Adults and young people are encouraged to consider this, and question how it can apply to their lives.
Regardless of stage in faith or uncertainty in truths, this resource opens a platform for honest conversation and firm answers backed by biblical text for those who are older and can engage. For children and young people, they learn key principles of Christianity and being a Christian to grow in a way appropriate for them. As this is all-age material, this also means that parents and children can discuss the content, fully aware of what was covered, back in their own homes and environments.
Blue book: The community learn about how much God loves them and why this is relevant to how they live day to day. They learn the characteristics of God, and are taught how to root their lives in Him.
The resource covers 4 topics linked to God and His purposes throughout - 1) What is God like? 2) What has He already done? 3) What will He do? and 4) What does he want? By first identifying who God is and what it meant sending Jesus to die for mankind, participants then discover have the opportunity to ask what is He doing now? And What does He want from me? This chronological approach allows individuals to piece the puzzle together themselves.
Blue book: The resource does two things, 1) teaches about the characteristics of God and who He is, and 2) presents participants with ways He has instructed us to live which will help us as human beings to flourish and to glorify Him. Participants learn that the greatest command is to love the Lord above all else, and that the actions we take should be in response to that.
Green book: Each session includes questions on obstacles that all people face, for example the concept of Worry. It also includes open questions to allow people to call upon their own personal struggles and bring these to the passages presented. This resource makes the Bible relevant for everyday, whether young or old, big or small.
Blue book: Many real life issues are drawn out by this resource; can God heal the sick and make me whole? How should we pray? What does God think of ME as an individual? These questions are all relevant in western society and work to remind people who they belong to and why they matter. They can then engage with trusting that God can be there throughout their trials.
Green book: Gently in order to accommodate for people of all stages in their Christian journey, the importance of evangelism is mentioned and explained indirectly throughout, but there are not set guidelines or activities on how to do this well.
Blue book: The second session explicitly outlines the importance of 'Making Disciples'. With reference to Matthew's gospel, participants are faced with the truth that all Christians are called to go and tell others about the good news of Jesus and what it means. The group can then discuss and share their thoughts on how to do this well in the community around them.
Green book: Encourages people to think about God as the Creator and what that means our role is on earth with His creation. The session on Simeon and Anna in particular challenges people to be a light that draws people to it, and asks how the community doing the session can be a light that draws all those around it to God.
Blue book: As this resource is intended for communities, it does this by encouraging people to share their reflections, and to pray with and for their community in the "pray" section of each session. Community involvement and sharing the gospel are encouraged throughout the sessions.
Green book: Not a main focus.
Blue book: Not a main focus, but teaches that God is for everyone.
Green book: Not a main focus.
Blue book: Not a main focus, but again implied by the session on 'Making Disciples' to go out and share the news of Jesus.

Rated 4 di 5 di kianah65 da glowing glow shots [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked this Voxbox. I love wearing eye makeup and have been obsessed with trying out new eyeshadow designs. Before getting this box I had never seen liquid eyeshadows and these are so unique. My two favorite colors is the pink and copper one as the look better on my brown complexion. The white adds a nice touch to the inside corner of my eyes. The only color I wasn't that fond of was the gold as it looked weird when applied. I would definitely recommend these products they are very pigmented so I little goes a long way and easy to grab and go. I really want to try out other colors like the blue and green.

Rated 5 di 5 di Anonimo da Happily surprised! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] *I received these products for free from Influenster and NYX in exchange for my honest review. I love wearing eyeshadow, but had previously only tried one other liquid shadow from another brand. I wasn't thrilled with the other brands shadow, so I wasn't sure what to expect with this one. I was happily surprised by how amazing this shadow is! It lasted all day long with no flake off. It is buildable for an even bolder look, and it stayed in place all day.I cannot wait to try the other colors! I have already told my friends about this shadow and they're loving it!

Rated 5 di 5 di caitlynse149 da Perfect [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow, I really love these! I received these products for free from Influenster for testing purposes, but I love them so much that I'll be buying to refill once they're out. Each color is so pretty and perfect for summer. I was nervous at first that they would be too shimmery for my taste, but as soon as they were on my skin, my eyes were wide and I was excited to use them on my face. I've tried each color (you can see the swatches in the video and photo) and the pink shade has to be my favorite. The staying power is also amazing. Full disclaimer, I don't have oily lids and I used it without primer, and it stayed ALL DAY!

Rated 4 di 5 di kellys369 da Crease Free Liquid Eyeliner [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I was pleasantly surprised with this liquid eyeliner. I have not used liquid eyeliner in years because of my hooded eyes liquid eyeshadow would always crease. Not the case with this product! I used it with and without eye primer and found there to be no creasing. It felt light and comfortable not sticky. I love the shimmer but I felt that the pigment could be more intense. It says up to 12 hours of wear but I found that after a few hours the pigment really faded and all was left was mostly the shimmer. It comes off easily with makeup remover and will be something that I continue using because it is just so comfortable!

Rated 3 di 5 di biancagail da Alright… [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first got these I immediately thought of the Stila liquid shadows and was hoping that these would be a dupe. They are not even close so do NOT get these thinking that. This is a very strange formula. It layers well but doesn't seem to change the shade or intensity much. It blends out pretty well if you use an eyeshadow brush while wet, probably because they aren't very pigmented… It's comfortable to wear and doesn't crease significantly. These are probably going to be better suited for me as a liquid sheen highlight. I like NYX but this just missed the mark. I got sent these from influenster but all opinions are my own.

Rated 5 di 5 di sofiab8c31 da Great sparkly eyeshadow [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received these in a voxbox. I've tried all of them but this shade is my favorite. Easy to apply, dries quick and there is no fall out from the glitter which is a plus. These shades are subtle enough to wear every day but do give a little pep to your look. For the last couple weeks I have worn them for my 12 hour shifts so I will say they don't last the entire 12 hours. I will also preface that by stating I haven't used any eyeshadow primer with them so that might make a difference. Over all I'm really happy with them and the colors available.

Rated 4 di 5 di brandeem1b43 da Great product, bad applicator [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received 4 glow shots for free from Influenster and Nyx for my honest opinion and review. I was impressed with how good and shimmery the product looked on the eyelid and how long it lasted. The shadows are really great, however the applicator was bad!! It reminded me of a lipgloss applicator and did a horrible job fitting the curve of my eyelid. It was difficult to apply and made it hard to blend 2 colors because it dried too quickly. I would use this again with a separate applicator. I would not go out of my way to purchase this though.

Rated 4 di 5 di mandywriteslove da Very Pretty! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would Love to try other shades in this line! I received "Grapefruit Glow" in exchange for my honest review. I have a habit of smelling everything, so this was no different. This product smells, to me, like mascara. It's a liquid eye product, so it makes sense. Lol The colour is so pretty! It did not take very long at all to dry. I have a habit of rubbing my eyes, so I did a rub test on my hand and the product did not smudge very much at all. I was very impressed! I will say that I had trouble getting the wand out. There is quite a bit of resistance and I keep worrying that I'm going to break it. Overall, a great product! (: #Incentivized

Put down the books
For years, my growth strategy as a leader was simple. Read a popular book and do what the author said to do.
My leadership journey has included many "eras."
The John Maxwell era.
The Andy Stanley era.
The Patrick Lencioni era.
The Clay Scroggins era.
The Marcus Buckingham era.
Although reading is rarely a bad idea, developing as a leader involves more. Leaders who have developed an authentic leadership style are disciplined learners, but they also have what Lorea Seidel calls "Radical Self-Awareness." Lorea is our guest on this week's episode of Here's What I'm Seeing. She shares three simple ways you can develop radical self-awareness and grow as a leader. Step one? Put down the books!
