Backers of Proposition 8 Can Challenge Court Ruling
The California Supreme Court ruled Thursday that proponents of Proposition 8 — which banned same-sex marriage in California — have legal standing to challenge the decision by a lower court judge overturning the ban, after the state's governor and attorney general refused to defend the proposition.
The ruling came as an advisory decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which had asked for guidance on how to proceed in the case after Gov. Jerry Brown and the state attorney general declined to defend the constitutionality of the proposition.
The decision means that the case, Perry v. Brown, is now moving from a legal detour — the question of who has the right under California law to appear in court on behalf of a proposition under legal challenge — to the issue of merits: does a legal ban on same-sex marriage violate constitutional rights?
Lawyers on each side proclaimed victory within hours after the decision was released.
"We are delighted," said Andrew Pugno, general counsel for ProtectMarriage.com, the official proponent of the proposition, in an interview. "This is an enormous boost for Proposition 8, and for the integrity of the initiative process itself."
Theodore B. Olson and David Boies, the two lawyers who had led the effort to overturn Proposition 8 for the American Foundation for Equal Rights, said they were confident that the federal appeals court — and ultimately the United States Supreme Court — would uphold the lower court decision nullifying the proposition.
"This frees up the Ninth Circuit to go ahead and decide the constitutional questions on the merits," Mr. Olson said, "the due process and equal protection rights of gay and lesbian citizens in California to get married in California like all other citizens of California."
Proposition 8, passed narrowly by voters in November 2008, created an amendment to the state Constitution declaring that the state would recognize marriages only between a man and a woman.
The vote came after the California Supreme Court had ruled that same-sex couples were allowed to marry under California law.
Last August, Vaughn R. Walker, at the time the chief judge of United States District Court for the Northern District of California, ruled that the proposition violated the equal protection and due process rights of gay and lesbian couples in California.
The issue before the California Supreme Court was procedural and did not go to the civil rights questions posed in the case: Did the plaintiffs have the right to participate in the case after Mr. Brown and the state attorney general refused?
In its decision, the court, using language that limited the decision largely to the circumstance of this case, ruled that barring the backers of the proposition from appearing in support of it would deprive the majority of voters on the issue of a fair day in court.
"It would clearly constitute an abuse of discretion for a court to deny the official proponents of an initiative the opportunity to participate as formal parties in the proceeding," the court said, "either as interveners or as real parties in interest, in order to assert the people's and hence the state's interest in the validity of the measure and to appeal a judgment invalidating the measure."
Vikram David Amar, a law professor at the University of California, Davis, suggested that same-sex marriage opponents might be premature in celebrating the decision by the California Supreme Court.
"In the short run they should be," he said. "In the long run, it's a tougher question."
Professor Amar predicted that the three-judge panel would support Judge Walker's district court decision that declared Proposition 8 unconstitutional.

15-Year-Old Trinity Brooks Struck, Killed While On Sidewalk After Car Crashes Into Building In Dundalk
DUNDALK, Md. (WJZ) -- A 15-year-old girl was killed and another person was injured after a vehicle crashed into a building in Dundalk Tuesday evening.
Police were called to the intersection of Delvale and Holabird Avenues just after 5:30 p.m. for a report of a crash. They learned a 2006 Nissan Altima was driving north on Delvale Avenue when the car drove onto the sidewalk, striking the 15-year-old, later identified as Trinity Brooks.
Jennifer Jean Jones Charged In Dundalk Crash That Killed 15-Year-Old Trinity Brooks
Trinity was later pronounced dead by Baltimore County Fire Department personnel.
The driver of the Altima was taken into custody and police say they will release more information when that person has been formally charged.
"Right now, we are looking into the possibility that drugs or alcohol were involved in this," Baltimore Police Corporal Sean Vinson said. "We do expect charges but official charges have not been filed as of yet."
A day later, her friends, who asked not to be identified, said it's hard to put into words just how much Trinity meant to them.
"She cared about other people more than she probably cared about herself," they said.

How to Get Rid of Wasps
Warm summer afternoons and evenings at this time of year make the garden a perfect place to relax and chill out with a glass of wine or your favourite BrewDog beer! But, with the warm weather and wine comes and unwanted garden intruders...Wasps!
These distinctive yellow insects are often aggressive and have painful stings that could bring about an allergic reaction (anaphylaxis).
Don't get held hostage by these annoying insects. See our top tips for preventing wasps and always take caution to avoid being stung.
"Anaphylaxis is a medical emergency. It can be very serious if not treated quickly. If someone has symptoms of anaphylaxis, you should call 999 for an ambulance immediately."
NHS, A-Z of health
How to prevent wasps
There are lots of ways you can prevent wasps
- Remove food sources - The glass of wine or beer is the perfect attractant for wasps and other flying insects looking for a meal. Keep drinks covered where possible and check cans of drink before taking a sip.
- Move your bins - As the frequency of bin collections decreases and as we recycle more, empty containers and bins give off smells that attract wasps. Move your bins and ensure the lids are firmly closed.
- Treat wooden furniture - Dry wooden furniture offers the perfect nesting material for wasps. Always treat your outdoor furniture with suitable furniture oil such as teak oil, this prevents the wood from becoming too dry and makes it harder for wasps to use the wood fibres when building nests.
- Close your windows and doors - This will help prevent wasps from entering your home.
- Look out for nests - Queen wasps emerge and start working on new nests in the Spring. If you find a wasp nest before it gets too big treatment is usually much easier.
- Easy on the perfume - Chanel No5 and Izzy Miyake smell great but they may be attracting wasps! Avoid wearing strong smelling perfumes if possible.
- We like your style - Floral prints are in for summer 2020! Unfortunately, your floral dress or shirt could be attracting wasps in search of nectar.
- Fruit - If your garden has fruit trees and there is fallen fruit, this is the perfect food source for wasps. Later on, in the summer months, wasps can get drunk off fermenting fruit making them more aggressive. Always pick up fallen fruit and any other food sources in your garden.
There you have it, our top tips for preventing wasps. Do you have any more tips to share? Let us know!
If you're worried about a large amount of wasp activity in your home or garden, always consult a professional pest controller. Get in touch with Pest Pulse today for wasp nest treatments starting at just £49, our technicians are fast and effective at removing wasps!

So we headed on out to Georgioupolis since we had a day where the plans sort of went off track and well, an anti climax. So we literally just picked a place on the map, googled what was there and headed on over. Boy were we glad we did. We found the most amazing chapel right on the ocean right there in this little town called Georgioupolis. The chapel is called Agios Nikolaos and is simply stunning. Anyone want to get married there and hire me? ? Please and thanks in advance!
Following on from there, we headed on out to Kournlas Lake and ended up hiring a peddle boat and spent some time with beautiful views on the lake. So fun!
You can read more about the trip on the travel blog here.

Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is heading overseas for an expected visit with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and to attend the World Economic Forum in Switzerland.
The trips announced Tuesday follow in the footsteps of his predecessor, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who also visited Jerusalem and the Swiss Alps during his final years in office.
Abbott says the trip is a chance to build ties with new international business partners. His office says he is scheduled to visit a defense contractor and a desalination plant in Israel before heading to Davos, where the World Economic Forum draws a combination of corporate executives, world leaders and celebrities.
Abbott's weeklong trip begins Monday. He has also gone to Mexico and Cuba since taking office last year.

Places under the control of Ethiopian Defense Forces including Mekelle city will be accessible to UN humanitarian agencies
December 2, 2020
Federal Police Commission criminal investigation team and special forces on Wednesday arrived in Mekelle City.
According to a report by the state media, Ethiopian Broadcasting Corporate (EBC), the special forces have already launched hunting criminals in coordination with the Ethiopian Defense Force.
Federal police deployment to Mekelle was difficult in the past due to a militant from Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF). In July 2018, about 40 highly armed Federal Police members were reportedly detained upon arrival at Alula Aba Nega International Airport. They were deployed with a court order to arrest TPLF leaders implicated in criminal activities.
The Federal police undisclosed specificities of criminals for whom the operation is needed. It is, however, understood that the Ethiopian government has been searching for TPLF leaders who refused to surrender to the Ethiopian Defense Forces.
The Ethiopian Defense Force took control of Mekelle City on Saturday after TPLF forces lost the war to the Ethiopian Defense Forces.
Meanwhile, residents of Mekelle city on Wednesday told an EBC reporter that normalcy is restored to the city. A resident who did not tell her name said "we were scared when the planes were hovering. Now it is peaceful and businesses are re-opening."
Another resident of Mekelle said that the Ethiopian Defense Force has been peaceful but looting in the neighborhoods has become a problem. He said that the government needs to do something about it.
The Ethiopian government granted access to the UN nations humanitarian agencies in areas under the control of the Ethiopian Defense Forces.
There has been a communication blackout as the Ethiopian government was undertaking a "law enforcement operation" to hunt TPLF leadership which turned out to be a full-fledged war with TPLF forces that lost the war in a matter of two weeks.
TPLF leaders justify the loss with the claim that they were facing Eritrean armies as well. They vow to launch guerrilla warfare.

753. Cavedine Valley
Garda Trentino Verified partner Explorers Choice
mountain biking trail at Lake Garda: 753. Cavedine ValleyVideo: Outdooractive – 3D Videos
An all-year-round tour, suitable even for gravel bikes - if a bit of loose terrain doesn't bother you. The initial climb, which leads from lake Cavedine to the archaeological area, is all on asphalt. Although the length of the ride is rather short, it would be wise - especially during the hottest periods, to prioritise your personal water supply, as there are no fountains en-route.
The upper part of the route develops on an old block pavement, with some rather rough sections, in the vicinity of some interesting archaeological sites. The descent will be mostly on asphalt with the exception of a short gravel section.

Turn-by-turn directions
The starting point of the route is in Trebi. Coming north from Dro you will find the first sign for route 753 to your right, at the forked road. However, starting from the south of the lake, continue south for a few dozen meters where you should take the first road on your left. Here you will quickly find the route signage which guides you uphill, through the locality of Trebi. Continue to climb on the main road, where the gradient is constant at around 10%. Quickly gaining altitude, you'll have the possibility to admire the remarkable views of Lake Cavedine and the Sarca Valley.
A little after you have passed over the hill-top, follow a wide curve round to the right. Leave the asphalt road, and take the archeological gravel road, continuing to follow the directions for route 753. All of the turnings are well indicated and the route continues with undulating terrain until the locality of San Siro. Once again riding on asphalt, keep left and start to descend, following the main road - as indicated by the signage.
At the fourth hairpin bend, take the gravel road on the left that brings you back to Lake Cavedine. After approximately 100 meters, the terrain returns to asphalt. Continue to follow the road downhill toward the lake, where you will rapidly meet its tributary.
Turn left here and follow the road that runs along the water course to the south, where for a short time you will arrive at the lake itself. Continue straight on to find the route starting point.
Public transport
Cavedine is connected by the intercity bus lines (204, 205). For up-to-the-minute information on timetables and routes

The following information about the design of the village sign has been taken verbatim from David Moyse's book "The Village where I went to School", which is available in local shops. We are very grateful to him for his permission to quote from the book.
Designer: Peter Gerrell
Unveiled by: Right Hon. Jim Prior, MP, Minister for agriculture (now Lord Prior of Brampton)
1. Brick Wall - Strength in number (bricks) and a solidarity by accommodation of all creeds, to build and beautify.
2. Cogwheel - Progress by Community consent, also depicting the important role played by the village forge and blacksmiths (now extinct), around which some of the first seeds of development were sown: coaching house and gathering place.
3. Cross - the Cross in the centre is where it should be. Surrounded by the first seeds of development (Cogwheel) the Cross represents the role of the Church in Parish daily life. At the centre of all things to depict our desire that Christian ideals should be at the centre of all things, our thinking and our deeds.
4. Rye Sheaf - Rye, from which the name of our village originated - RYE-on-the-HILL. It is noted that the village is of light soil and stands on a hill, ideal, as indeed history has proved, for growing the early rye so important to earlier survival. Also the Sheaf itself represents the cornerstone of our past, agriculture.
5. Oak Tree - From early Reydon oaks (note that even today the village is particularly well endowed with splendid oak trees) many fine boats were built which plied from local ports in days gone by. Timber for barns, cottages and plough was taken in abundance. Also the Oak Tree depicts the natural beauty within our village and echoes that old but true saying: "From little acorns mighty oaks do grow".

REVIEW: Evil Willy's Candy Factory 2013
One of the most unique and complicated haunted attractions that Theme Park Adventure visited during the 2013 season was a professional haunt by Scareventures, called Evil Willy's Candy Factory. Based on the classic Roald Dahl tale of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as well as all of the adaptations that have come since, it seemed to us that Evil Willy's would be a really exciting experience and definitely a twist on the traditional haunted attraction themes that we see each year. Creating such an attraction wouldn't be very sugar-coated, as the Scareventures team would find out…

REVIEW: Haunt S.B. 2013
Last Halloween season, rather than travel out of state to experience non-local Halloween events, Theme Park Adventure drove up the California coast to beautiful Santa Barbara to check out Haunt S.B., that city's only haunted house attraction for the second year running. Haunter Matt Dorado and his creative team of talented spooksters took it upon themselves to blaze the trail and give the seaside community something to scream about during October. The Haunt S.B. team went to work on a theatrical concept that didn't pull any punches; in fact, guests had to sign waivers stating that they understood it would be an interactive experience, and that there'd be physical contact involved along the way by the haunt's actors!

REVIEW: Sinister Pointe Not So Merry Holiday Haunt 2013
As songs of good will and tidings of peace fill the air, the smell of warm cookies wafts from kitchen windows, and children dream of red-nosed reindeer and Santa Claus bearing gifts, Sinister Pointe in Brea, California, offers up something a little different than that with its annual Not So Merry Holiday Haunt. Geared for adults – and only adults – this event is a shockingly naughty Christmas romp with a strange and spooky assortment of evil elves, backwoods decorating, and a really jolly man in a red suit! It's completely over the top, not for the prude or easily offended, and definitely something that no other haunt in California delivers during the holiday season!

REVIEW: Mirror, Mirror 2013 Knott's Scary Farm
2013 was a banner year for Knott's Scary Farm. Between the return of Elvira to some of the most high quality mazes the event has ever seen added to the mix, our hats are off to the team behind Halloween Haunt for really pushing forward and expanding the horizon in Buena Park, California. As is the nature of the beast, some designs that look great on paper are ultimately a challenge to pull off in reality. Such was the case with Mirror, Mirror…

Big Worm's Sherwood Scare Home Haunt 2013
Each Halloween season, Theme Park Adventure has its finger firmly on the pulse of Southern California regarding what happening. We visit all types of haunts during the season, from theme parks and stand alone attractions to yard displays. In 2013, TPA visited 30 different haunts between the end of September and the beginning of November. While we definitely get around, there are inevitably, some haunts we simply miss due to scheduling and time – or the lack thereof. We were aware of Big Worm's Sherwood Scare home haunt/maze, but simply couldn't fit it in to our initial Halloween schedule of events. However, once the second half of October rolled around, it was clear by the personal text messages and fan comments on Twitter that Sherwood Scare was not to be missed. Because of the amount of messages we received, we monkeyed with our schedule and fit Sherwood Scare in to the mix. Needless to say, we had high expectations…

7 former beauty editors share their best beauty tips and picks (Part 2 of 2)
SINGAPORE — We hope you have picked up some useful tips or even headed out to buy some of the beauty products recommended by my fellow former beauty editors we had featured last time.
Testing beauty products is a big part of our previous jobs as magazine beauty editors, and in the process, we have nailed down various beauty products that work for us. In the final feature of this two-part series, here are seven ex-beauty editors, including myself, with beauty advice we live by and products we can't get enough of.
Part 1: 6 former beauty editors share their best beauty tips and picks
Does what you eat before bed really affect your dreams?
Orbis Defencera, the moisturiser skincare product that you consume orally
Jasmine Alimin, freelance writer
Jasmine was the beauty editor at L'Officiel Singapore from 2008 to 2010; and the assistant editor of Style Weddings from 2010 to 2018.
Do as she does. "My one beauty tip to good skin is to wear less makeup, especially if you're lazy to remove it. On days where I have events to attend, I usually just wear tinted moisturiser, mascara, cheek tint, matte lipstick and waterproof liquid eyeliner. Otherwise, it's just the Sunplay Skin Aqua Tone Up UV Essence SPF50 PA++++ that works as a sunscreen and skin-correcting primer and brightener."
Beauty picks she still uses.
1. Liht Organics Anti-Aging BB Cream, S$75.
"I'm not a fan of foundation because my skin will always break out after regular usage so I've switched to using tinted moisturisers. Early this year, I was recently introduced to this product and have made it my new BFF because this works as a moisturiser, primer, foundation and sunblock, all rolled into one. I swear, after I started using it, my skin developed a young-girl glow and my complexion looks more even-toned."
2. Philosophy Purity Made Simple One-Step Facial Cleanser, S$34.
"I've been using this since it was first sold at Sephora some years back. I dare say it's as good as a cleansing oil to remove stubborn makeup. But the best part is that it goes on oily to loosen waterproof makeup, then turns into a foamy lather when you add water, and lightly conditions like a skin softener. Really, all you need to do after that is apply serum, moisturiser and go to sleep. This is perfect for an impatient person like me!"
Joie Goh, barre instructor and communications manager at WeBarre
Joie was the beauty editor for L'Officiel Singapore from 2014 to 2015, and senior beauty editor for T: The New York Times Style Magazine Singapore from 2016 to 2018.
Do as she does. "Sleep at least eight to nine hours per night. Everything suffers if I don't get enough sleep: my skin looks dull and drawn, eyes puffy, and body bloated."
Beauty picks she still uses.
1. Dr Dennis Gross Hyaluronic Marine Oil-free Moisture Cushion, S$90.
"I first got a little sample in a press bag back in 2017 and fell in love with it and purchased the full-sized afterwards, and I've been going back to it ever since. It's one of the best moisturisers I've ever used - the texture is super light, sinks into my skin and somehow makes my pores disappear. No oily feeling or that weird glossy sticky finish you get with gel moisturisers, just soft, velvety and hydrated skin."
2. IDS Clinic Spot Control, S$28.50.
"Hands down the best zit treatment ever. I've been using it since 2013 or 2014. Nothing zaps pimples as quickly or painlessly as this one, even the big, deep ones. The formulation has improved over time as well, and I love that it can be applied under and over makeup and sunscreen, and still be effective."
Marianne Wee-Slater, director and founder of PR agency, Smitten PR
Marianne was beauty editor at Harper's Bazaar Singapore from 2003 to 2005, and beauty editor and then deputy editor at Style: magazine from 2005 to 2015.
Do as she does. "Never pile on makeup. I've always been obsessed with the no-makeup makeup look, even before it became a thing. The best advice I got was from legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath, who told me that makeup (especially foundation) should be applied with a light hand and layered on for more coverage where necessary. Also, it's OK to have some real skin showing through your makeup!"
Beauty picks she still uses.
1. Clarins V Shaping Facial Lift, S$122.
"I'm currently onto my eighth bottle, and for someone who's always itching to try new skincare, this is nothing short of miraculous. This lightweight serum is my go-to before an event or whenever I don't get enough sleep to de-puff a bloated face and eye contours. It never fails to make my face look slimmer in pictures!"
2. Re:erth Blemish Control, S$80.
"Never thought that I'd still be battling breakouts at 40, but that's Singapore for you. I'd tried hundreds of acne skincare but this is the only one that really works. It's lightweight, doesn't damage or dry out skin, and really kills acne bacteria - to the point where I rarely have breakouts now, which is a first for me. Love that I can also use it daily as a preventative treatment, and the encapsulated retinol seems to also help with firming up skin and smoothing out old acne scars."
Moh Shuying, communications manager for a finance company
Shuying was the beauty editor for Female Singapore from 2013 to 2018.
Do as she does. "I apply a facial mask every day to give my skin a little extra help. To me, masks are like multivitamins for your complexion. You don't necessarily need them but they are good for you. I try to mix them up so I'm using a variety of different masks every week, depending on my skin's condition."
Beauty picks she still uses.
1. La Mer The Concentrate, S$820.
"This treats everything from sensitivity, breakouts, dryness, fine lines and redness. I've been using it for almost ten years and it's the one serum I can't live without. I started using after my face started developing eczema after trying too many different products for a Her World Beauty Awards one year. After using it for about a week, my skin calmed down and the redness and dry patchiness I was experiencing disappeared. It's literally a miracle worker."
2. Shiseido Perfect UV Protector S, S$63
"I'm a big fan of all Shiseido sunscreens because they generally have a really lightweight texture, doesn't leave any sticky sensation and provides strong protection. I've been using this sensitive version for about two years as I have eczema and it doesn't cause any irritation at all. Plus, its watery texture makes me feel like I have nothing on my face, and it never leaves my complexion feeling or looking oily no matter how hot or humid the day is."
Pearlyn Tham, freelance writer/editor
Pearlyn was the senior fashion and beauty editor of Her World Singapore from 2011 to 2014, and editor of Her World from 2014 to 2015.
Do as she does. "I don't only apply eye creams at night; I like to layer some under my concealer before I head out every day because age shows up first in the delicate eye area."
Beauty picks she still uses.
1. Curel Aging Care Moisturising Lotion, S$36.80.
"Whenever I use a new product and my skin reacts negatively to it by turning rough and itchy, all I need is this product. It gives instant comfort and turns my skin baby-soft and smooth right away! I've been using Curel products for about five years now, ever since my skin turned sensitive in my mid-thirties. (I would recommend) anything from Curel, from its shower foam and shampoo to its moisturising lotion and anti-ageing cream. They are unscented and are really gentle on my sensitive scalp and face."
2. Shiseido Future Solution LX Eye & Lip Contour Regenerating Cream E, S$192.
"I've used this for more than five years now. It is pricey but a little goes a long way. This is more of a smooth paste than it is a rich cream so it works perfectly well as a primer under my concealer. I also like dabbing a little of it at the corners of my mouth when I accidentally nick myself with dental floss – yes, it's a real thing."
Simone Wu, freelance writer, and co-founder of lifestyle website, Superbly.xyz
Simone was the beauty editor for The Singapore Women's Weekly from 2009 to 2011, for Simply Her from 2011 to 2016, and senior beauty editor for Her World Singapore from 2017 to 2018.
Do as she does. "The skin on the neck and upper chest area is thinner than that on the face, and that makes is more prone to lines, wrinkles, sagging and discolouration. Caring for these areas doesn't have to feel like extra steps and you don't even need to buy dedicated products (like a neck cream) unless you want to. As you apply skincare to your face, spread the toners, serums, moisturisers and sunscreen to the neck and décolleté. And don't forget the back of your neck, and while you're at it, apply the remaining product to your hands."
Beauty picks she still uses.
1. La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 Multi-purpose Soothing Repairing Balm, S$45.
"I have mild eczema, and every now and then, parts of my face and body would turn red, itchy and/or warm. This lightweight cream would soothe my inflamed skin, and leave it soft and comfortable—every single time. This has been a staple in my handbag for the past four years to relieve any on-the-go flare-ups. It is also suitable for babies, and I have been using it on my child's skin since he was a baby to soothe diaper rash, itchy skin and insect bites."
2. Tsubaki Botanical Smooth and Silky Shampoo, and Conditioner, S$14.90 each.
"I have gone through four sets of these since they were launched last year. Ever since I started bleaching my hair three years ago, my fine hair has become perpetually dry, brittle and frizzy. When bleached hair gets wet, it gets tangled - I have to be extra careful when I spreading shampoo and massaging my scalp so I don't end up breaking off hair. This shampoo transforms into a creamy lather quickly, and it allows me to spread and massage the product all over my scalp, without creating any tangles. It also washes out easily, and leaves my hair smooth and tangle-free. I love that this conditioner rinses out easily, and leaves my hair so incredibly smooth, soft and light all day long. And I realised I don't need as much conditioning hair oil on the ends of my hair as I did before. Bonus points for not leaving the bathroom floor greasy, too."
Vanessa Chia, freelance content provider and editor
Vanessa spent almost 12 years at Elle Singapore from 2003 to 2015, working her way from beauty and health writer to beauty and health editor, and then, to beauty and health director.
Do as she does. "If your hair is dry, coarse and damaged from chemical treatments or dye jobs like mine, consider replacing your hair conditioner with a hair mask each time you wash your hair. Instead of leaving hair mask on hair for 15 to 20 minutes as stated on most tubs, I'd leave it on for one to two minutes to avoid flat hair. The result: my hair is softer, smoother and is more manageable. I've been complimented so much since I made the switch because my hair looks so much better."
Beauty picks she still uses.
1. La Mer The Concentrate, S$820.
"This is my all-time favourite skin rescue and it leaves my skin smooth and supple, too. Whenever my skin is irritated and flushed, I just need a little bit of this to instantly soothe it. I also have even used The Concentrate to soothe and heal skin rash and burns. I have been using this since 2010."
2. 28cubed The Light Serum, S$98.
"I am currently using a new Singapore-developed product, by a company called 28cubed. The product is called The Light Serum and uses a unique combination of food-based active ingredients to target pigmentation as it works with the skin's 28-day rejuvenation cycle to give you an even-toned and radiant complexion. After four weeks of using this, my skin tone is more even, and there's a glow that I haven't seen in a long time (without the help of makeup of course)."

Stretchy pressure sensor targets healthcare boost
Scientists from the University of Chicago have developed a stretchy, flexible pressure sensor that could be widely used in soft robotics, prosthetics and other healthcare settings.
Claimed to be the first of its kind, the sensor is precise enough to detect the pressure from a piece of paper but can still maintain performance when stretched by up to 50 per cent.
This is achieved by a new electrical double layer design, with outside layers are made up of stretchy, conductive nanoparticle paste and elastomer. When pressure is placed on the sensor, tiny micropyramids within the device compress slightly, connecting with an electrode that sends a signal relating to pressure level.
Sensor integrated into RFA needle offers surgical accuracy
Graphene sheets form sensor to rapidly detect COVID-19
The elastomer material makes the sensor inherently stretchy, but the researchers increased the stiffness at the bottom of each micropyramid so that they remain intact even when the sensor is stretched and deformed. The device, described in Science Advances, also proved to be robust under repetitive cycles, retaining its sensing capabilities after being stretched 500 times.
"This the first pressure sensor that can stretch and still maintain its high sensitivity and quick response rate," said research lead Assistant Professor Sihong Wang, from the University of Chicago. "It could potentially be important technology, both in the research community and in the healthcare industry."
As part of their work, the University of Chicago team attached the sensor to a soft robotic hand, which was then able to use it to take the pulse waveforms — the dynamic pressure pattern within each beating of pulse — from a human wrist. In the future, robots equipped with this technology could help take on healthcare tasks in the community, such as basic check-ups as well as massage therapy.
Pressure sensing is also fundamental to next-generation prosthetics that are capable of touching and grasping, and the sensor could form part of an electronic skin on prosthetic limbs. Wang and his team are currently working to add further sensors to the robot hand, expanding them to multiple fingers and adding new sorts of sensors that can feel texture. This work could form the basis for advanced new prosthetic and soft robot applications.
The post Stretchy pressure sensor targets healthcare boost appeared first on The Engineer.

D-Optimal Design for Rapid Assessment Model of CO₂ Flooding in High Water Cut Oil Reservoirs
Most of major oilfields in China have reached high water cut stage, but still, they contribute to more than 70% of domestic oil production. How to extract more oil from mature oilfields has become a hot topic in petroleum engineering. Carbon dioxide flooding is a win-win strategy because it can enhance oil recovery and simultaneously reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. In order to evaluate the potentials of CO2 flooding in high water cut oil reservoirs, various 3-D heterogeneous geological models were built based on Guan 104 fault block in Dagang Oilfield to perform reservoir simulations. The D-optimal design was applied to build and verify the Rapid Assessment Model of CO2 flooding in high water cut oil reservoirs. Five quantitative variables were considered, including average horizontal permeability, permeability variation coefficient, ratio of vertical to horizontal permeability, net thickness of formation and percentage of recoverable reserves by water flooding. The process of weighting emphasized the contributions of linear terms, quadratic terms and first-order interactions of five quantitative parameters to improved recovery factor and Net Present Value of CO2 flooding. Using the Rapid Assessment Model of CO2 flooding in high water cut oil reservoirs, significant first-order interactions were sorted out and type curves were established and analyzed for the evaluation of technical and economic efficiency of CO2 flooding in high water cut oil reservoirs. Aimed at oil reservoirs with the similar geological conditions and fluid properties as Guan 104 fault block, the Rapid Assessment Model and type curves of CO2 flooding in high water cut oil reservoirs can be applied to predict improved recovery factor and Net Present Value of water-alternating-CO2 flooding at different conditions of reservoir parameters and development parameter. The approach could serve as a guide for the application and spread of CO2-EOR projects.

Vail Film Fest founders stick to their (indie) roots
It's simple: People who attend film festivals love film. And maybe they like the chance they'll meet a celebrity or two. At this year's Vail Film Festival, taking place in Vail through Sunday, Krysten Ritter ("Life Happens," "She's Out of My League"), Blayne Weaver ("6 Month Rule"), Martin Starr ("Knocked Up," "Party Down") and director Fred Schepisi ("The Eye of the Storm," "Roxanne") will be in attendance. For aspiring filmmakers, there's the opportunity to meet established directors, screenwriters and producers, and maybe get some advice on their own projects.
The festival's in its ninth year and it's been a wild ride for brothers Sean and Scott Cross, the festival's founders and producers. Scott likens putting on a film festival to making a movie.
"It's kind of like making an indie film every year," he said. "We build from our past but in a lot of ways, we start from scratch every year. It's kind of been like guerrilla filmmaking for nine years and in a lot of ways, we thrive on that. The festival keeps a certain magic to it because because every year we work on new things to make it exciting and we're faced with these different challenges we have to overcome. That makes it more exciting for us and the filmmakers and the attendees – like we're all going through this together."
So why did they chose Vail to launch the festival?
The brothers, who were born in South Africa but spent most of their lives in New York City, have skied Vail for most of their lives and loved coming here, they said. The only thing the town was missing was a film festival, and they knew the community here was very supportive of the arts. Sean said the whole goal of the festival was to support independent filmmakers, many of whom they knew through their connections in New York.
Support Local Journalism
It hasn't been smooth sailing the whole way, of course.
"We've had to deal with theater changes and trying to figure out the best way for people to get seats in theaters, but we've had time to streamline the process … and it's something that we feel we've improved upon," Sean said.
The festival is big enough to have drawn stars like Kevin Smith, Michael Imperioli, Kate Bosworth and Josh Lucas over the years, but small enough that you'll likely run into familiar faces if you attend. Many of the screenings last year sold out – a good problem to have. Keeping that balance between being a heavyweight film festival and not getting too big for its own good has been a constant labor of love for the two. But for now, they're thankful for how far the festival's come.
"We're really excited about where the festival is right now and what we've achieved over the years," Sean said. "Where we set ourselves apart is we're extremely accessible to everyone who attends."
What he means by that is there's no barrier between a big-name established director like Kevin Smith (who came to the festival to receive the Renegade Award two years ago) and the up-and-coming filmmakers, or cinema-loving attendees, for that matter.
That's one reason why filmmaker Kat Coiro likes coming to the Vail Film Festival so much. Her feature film "L!fe Happens" starring Kate Bosworth is the closing night film this year and she's had other short films screened at past festivals.
"I have such a love for the Vail Film Festival," Coiro said. "It's smaller, which makes it more accessible, but the quality is so high. … Every year I've gone back I'm just so impressed with the way it's organized and by the location. I can't say enough good things about it. I've gone every year for five years and I've seen nothing but an improvement in the quality. I think it's hitting more of a nerve and it's becoming more reputable for the level of films (it screens). The location of the festival gives you so much of that intimacy."
Intimate is a good word to describe the festival. Classy and understated also fit.
"I think you really get a sense of the community at the film festival," Sean said. "People want to be a part of this experience."
Sean's been been told by many of the attending filmmakers and stars such as Michelle Monaghan that what they notice the most is how welcome they feel. And how much the attendees enjoy themselves.
"One of the reasons that we're able to carry that kind of community feeling is we're not a business-focused festival," he said. "We're about the experience of seeing these unique, incredible films."
More than anything, the Cross brothers are focused on maintaining their reputation.
"What we're most proud of is that we've stuck to our vision," Scott said.
That vision includes sticking to showcasing independent films and supporting independent filmmakers. To that end, in 2010 the Vail Film Festival showed Michael Imperioli's somewhat experimental film "The Hungry Ghosts" when very few North American film festivals would pick it up because it was so dark, Imperioli himself admitted.
The Vail Film Festival has also screened movies like "The Living Wake," a little independent gem that starred Jesse Eisenberg before he became a phenomenon in big budget flicks like "Zombieland" and "The Social Network."
"For us, that's what independent film is about," Scott said. "I think that's one thing we've done successfully for nine years and that's something we're proud of because a lot of festivals get away from indie films as they blow up."
And loyal Vail Film Festival goers like Denver resident Margo Mertaugh couldn't agree more. Rather than see it go the way of other festivals, with big budget films and celebrity worship, she prefers it remain small.
"I think they need to keep it really low key, indie films and lots of documentaries like they always do," she said. "Just keep that local vibe, which I think is the draw for a lot of people. It's intimate and low key but it has that world-class ambience while keeping that local feel for sure, which is the beauty of the whole experience."

How to Use the Salesforce Lightning Roadmap
Have you found the Salesforce Lightning Roadmap?
Did you know that Salesforce has published a roadmap for their new user interface, Lightning Experience?
Did you know it was publically available?
Do you use it to plan your Lightning Migration?
Well you absolutely should. The Salesforce Lightning Roadmap is a valuable tool for Admins who are planning, in the middle, or already transitioned to Lightning Experience.
Not Sure how to get started with Salesforce Lightning? Check out the Trailhead! https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/projects/migrate-a-classic-app-to-lightning-experience-with-declarative-tools
Where to find the Salesforce Lightning Roadmap
Most importantly, you can find the Salesforce Lightning Roadmap at this URL: https://www.salesforce.com/content/dam/web/en_us/www/documents/e-books/salesforce-lightning-roadmap.pdf
This will likely continually get updated. You can always find it by googling "Salesforce Lightning Roadmap."
What does it look like?
The report is broken down by category. Under each category is a list of features. To the right of the feature, you'll see a column for the various releases including the ever ambiguous "Future."
For each column, you'll find a green circle with a checkbox, a blue circle, a red circle, or the ever dreaded gray circle. This let's you see at a glance when the feature is planned for general release (green circle with checkbox), Pilot and Beta. It'll also gives you a great visual cue for what features are not currently planned for development.
How To Use The Salesforce Lightning Roadmap
How you use the Salesforce Lightning Roadmap depends greatly upon where you are with your Lightning transition.
- I'm Planning to Transition to Salesforce Lightning
When you're in the planning stage, it's very important to be able to identify which features you're currently using that may not be available in Lightning Experience. Sometimes, the feature may be a critical for your business and will stop you from fully transitioning your users. Using the roadmap, you'll be able to see which release the feature is scheduled to be available. This will help you plan your timeframe for when you can transition users based on the needed features. You should also use this to help communicate with management on what is holding people back and when they should be able to transition over
- I'm in the process of transitioning to Salesforce Lightning Experience
While you're in the middle of transitioning your users, you may find groups of users that need certain features that aren't available. Perhaps those features are not critical to the business and preventing them from going over. You'll still want to identify when these features are planned. This will control when you'll need to revisit training users for these features as they become available. It will also help dictate when you'll be able to disable groups of users from being able to go back to Classic.
- I'm Already Using Salesforce Lightning Experience
What the big question is how often are your users switching back to Classic and why. When users are switching back to Classic because Lightning is missing a feature, then it's very important to know when those features will be available. Eventually, you'll want to prevent users from switching back to Classic, but you don't want to prevent people from doing their job.
When users are switching back to classic because it's "too difficult" or "takes too much time" or "I don't have time to learn" how to do something in lightning, you have a different issue. These are situations where you may need to do some more training or make improvements with Actions, Lightning Components, or updating your Lightning Pages to provide a better experience.
Personally, I love that Salesforce has published a Lightning Roadmap. Normally, Salesforce Roadmaps are only exposed during Dreamforce or other event presentations. It's rare to have something readily available for everyone to access whenever they want to.
Are you already using the Salesforce Lightning Roadmap? Did I miss a purpose or use case? Let me know in the comments!

A rescue call had been issued for this car by Adrian Chapman. It was sitting in Louis Barbour's workshop, waiting for something spectacular to happen. But it is a really good car that ought to be saved and restored. I was informed about this car, and made plans to pick it but decided to give first choice to some UK people. But they couldn't be bothered in the end so I made new plans. On Saturday June 15th 2002 we flew to the UK. The plan was to drive the car home.
I brought a full service kit and some tools, we gave us some problems during check in. At Luton airport Adrian was waiting for us. Seeing the car for the first time was not the usual shock of a car you've bought unseen! The interior was very nice, red cloth seats with red vinyl doorpanels. The seats were still very good, not like the normal Citroën UV biodegradable cloth. A full set of carpeting and even the headliner was still in place!
After a full service, we still had severe carb problems with the car refusing to run properly.
With some fish and chips in our stomach it was off to Harwich with the Ami on the back of a trailer behind Adrian's XM. We tried to start it a last time, and it did but it was undriveable. The car was pushed onto ferry car park, checked in and towed onto the boat by the ferry workers. 4 hours later, in Hoek van Holland we were towed off the boat, past customs and onto the car park. There, a big Jeep Cherokee was waiting which towed us home, the last 250km of the journey!

Fliers put on vehicles at church target gays, female clergy
Police are investigating fliers with hateful messages left during recent Sunday services on church-goers' vehicles in Rehoboth Beach, but say the incident does not rise to hate crime status.
The fliers – with "No heaven for homos" scrawled across the top of the first of their three pages – were placed on vehicles in the parking lot of All Saints Episcopal Church in the first block of Olive Avenue while parishioners attended 10 a.m. services on July 26, police Chief Keith W. Banks said.
Although the fliers violate a city ordinance against distributing leaflets as a litter offense, Banks said they contain no specific or implied threat of violence, so they and their distribution are not a hate crime.
Even though any penalty would be a minor fine if the fliers' distributor is identified, Banks said, "we're taking this very seriously."
So is the Rev. Max J. Wolf, church rector.
"Local police didn't say it was a hate crime," Wolf said, "but it feels like a hate crime to our members."
When they found the fliers, he said, "some people were crying. ... Others talked to me about it when they went home and read them [the fliers] and were horrified."
The hateful message reopened old wounds for "some members of the church who have been rejected for decades," he said.
The photocopied pages have large blocks of text including Bible verses and diatribes against homosexuality, female church leadership and former Episcopal Bishop Heather Elizabeth Cook and Katharine Jefferts Schori, presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church.
The margins and spaces between type blocks are crammed with writing in all capital letters, saying such things as "hell is a real place," "would you like transexual + vestite teaching Sunday school to your children," and "God does not dwell in the Episcopal Church."
The Episcopal Church, Wolf counters, is one that welcomes lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people, as well as believing in gender equality, ordaining women and allowing same-sex marriages.
As word has spread about the fliers, Wolf said support has emerged in the form of "incredible numbers of emails, texts, calls. ... People have just been so affirming of who we are."
Some supporters have told him the fliers' diatribe reminded them that "this is why we come to All Saints, because you welcome everybody," he said.
The support has reflected the church community itself – conservative and liberal, Republican and Democrat, young and old, gay and straight – as well as the changing times and changing minds that have moved toward equal opportunity and equal rights, he said.
"I thank God the Episcopal Church embraces those rights," Wolf said.
"The reaction is so positive, it shows how much we have evolved on these issues," he said. He also spoke of the contribution of LGBT community members among military personnel, whose contribution, like after World War II, is seen when people acknowledge that gay and lesbian veterans risked their lives for the nation and deserve the same rights as other veterans.
"I feel blessed to be participating in these changes in history," he added.
Wolf said his message to whoever left the fliers would be that he understands that "change is stressful, but the most important thing is to love God and love your neighbor."
After police were contacted about the fliers left at the church, the chief said, he talked to someone he knew had seen such messages before.
That is Steve Elkins, executive director of CAMP Rehoboth, a nonprofit group dedicated to promoting community cooperation and understanding among all groups.
As he discussed with police, Elkins said, such fliers have surfaced before, in various forms, in both the LGBT and faith communities.
"It's an anonymous letter that we've gotten over the years," he said.
The fliers have been distributed at other Delaware churches, he said, and sent directly to CAMP Rehoboth, apparently by the same person.
The missives consistently blast the LGBT community as well as churches that welcome its members, perform same-sex arriages and/or allow female church leadership, Elkins said.
"We're all gonna die and go to hell," he said.
Such fliers also were distributed repeatedly over the years at Epworth United Methodist Church, which he attends, Elkins said.
That stopped about six years ago, however, when the church moved from Baltimore Avenue in Rehoboth Beach to a suburban location on Holland Glade Road right off Coastal Highway (Del. 1), he said.
Among copies sent to CAMP Rehoboth over the years, he said, just one several years ago had a return address – in Bethany Beach.
"So I looked up a phone number and I called," he said. "When I said, 'I got a letter...,' they hung up immediately."
Elkins said he tries to keep such tirades in perspective, considering them "part of living in a community that's accepting to all," including those who would write and distribute such drivel.
"Thank goodness we do have freedom of speech," he said. "We celebrate that people can say whatever they want."
But at the same time, he said, it is disappointing to see such energy devoted to a hateful message instead of living the Gospel lesson of loving others.
"We've got too many people who are hungry, too many people who are sick, too many people who are in jail," he said, adding he would prefer to see community messages and action working to alleviate suffering by helping those in need.

Rehoboth Beach Chief of Police Keith W. Banks says anyone with information about the source of fliers distributed on cars July 26 at All Saints Episcopal Church is asked to call city police at (302) 227-2577.
