Nexter.org prepared you a list of her favorite products you can buy now.
There are so many fancy moisturizers but Meghan still loves this affordable drugstore one. “I use this religiously, it makes my skin look and feel amazing. I would buy a case of this at a time if I could find it,” she told Beauty Banter.
According to Birchbox, Meghan “fell in love” with this acid-free peel. Did you know you can even use it in the shower?!
Sometimes you just can’t do anything in the evening, all you want is to relax in your bed, for this case Meghan’s favorite product is these wipes. “They’re great to keep in the car and on your nightstand when you have those horribly lazy nights that the thought of getting up to actually wash your face seems unbearable,” she told Beauty Banter.
When you moisturize your face, do not forget about your lips. Meghan Markle loves this chapped pout with nourishing oils. “I have searched high and low and tried every kind of lip balm but this is the very best,” she told Beauty Banter.
This refreshing spray moisturizes and hydrates your skin. You can use it when your skin feels dry, or even to set makeup.
Who doesn’t love a good candle? Fresh and fruity scent with notes of blackcurrant leaves and roses. Sounds amazing! The Duchess also loves the fig-scented one – Figuier Diptyque.
Before Meghan Markle became a royal, she was a self-care master and as she wrote on her former blog, "the middle of winter is a time when it can be easy to forget about our bodies and the vital role they play in our lives." Nexter.org prepared you a list of her favorite products you can buy now.

HAMPTON — A 600 pound, partially-restored relic is on display in the University of Northern Iowa’s Museum.
It was discovered near Hampton, Iowa, and it dates back to when animals that were directly related to elephants roamed the region.
In 1933, a group from the Works Progress Administration was digging at a rock quarry south of Hampton when Lars Jensen’s shovel struck an object that would provide a glimpse into the world’s prehistoric past.
“As they started digging, what they uncovered was the world’s largest mastodon tusk,” Nathan Arndt, the UNI Museum’s assistant director and chief curator.
Jensen actually broke the tip of the tusk off by mistake. Arndt says the tusk was likely washed down river into its final resting place.
A 1933 photo from the Sheffield Press shows Carl Van Horn of Hampton; Bernard Neve and Lars Jensen of Sheffield; Charles Nielsen of Alexander; Ray Shafer of Hampton; and Art Peters of Alexander all holding the tusk.
The 12-foot-long tusk, which is two feet in circumference, was the largest tusk ever found in the world until the late 1970s.
The people of Hampton donated the tusk to the museum at the University of Northern Iowa in 1934 for Dr. Emmett J. Cable and his staff to research.
Tusk on display at UNI.
Efforts to preserve the tusk in the early 20th century included lead-based paints, various heavy varnishes, and shellac. Arndt says the tusk remained untouched until 2012 when they began looking at ways to restore the object.
“Decided to write a grant to the Carver Trust and Carver loved the idea because it wasn’t just the conservation of the tusk, but including of students in on the process,” Arndt says.
The Roy J. Charitable Trust donated over $300,000 to fund the restoration. Equipment was also purchased with the grant for students and non-students to utilize for their own research. The museum held an exhibit earlier this month, showcasing their research. Family members of the men who found it were in attendance.
Arndt estimates restoration work on the tusk will continue for another two years. The tusk remains on public display at the UNI Museum in Cedar Falls.

The bullpen collapsed again as the Diamondbacks lost for the 13th time in the past 19 games.
DENVER – The cast has changed for the Diamondbacks, only they keep playing out the same tired script, one brutal night after another. In a deathly quiet visitors’ clubhouse, players sat motionless in front of their lockers late Wednesday night, seemingly stunned by the realization that their misery could reach new depths.
Yoshihisa Hirano, only recently given the reins in the closer’s role, became the latest Diamondbacks reliever to get beat in excruciating fashion, serving up D.J. LeMahieu’s opposite-field, walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth of a 5-4 loss to the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night.
The Diamondbacks were two outs away from shaving their deficit in the National League West to just 1 1/2 games. Instead, it could grow to 4 1/2 games by the time they leave town on Thursday evening.
Handed a 4-3 lead in the ninth, Hirano allowed a leadoff single to Gerardo Parra, a hard-hit ball that first baseman Paul Goldschmidt could not handle, and, two batters later, Hirano left a fastball over the plate that LeMahieu smacked into the right-field seats.
They did get a lead. They did get a solid outing from lefty Patrick Corbin. And they did get good relief work through the eighth inning. But while the ninth was a disaster, the Diamondbacks’ offense once again gave the pitching staff little breathing room.
With one out in the fourth, Alex Avila launched a solo home run to center field to extend the Diamondbacks’ lead to 4-2. It was the last baserunner the Diamondbacks would have, as the Rockies retired 17 consecutive batters through the end of the game.
Rockies relievers recorded 15 of those outs, marking the first time in the franchise’s 25-year history the bullpen recorded five perfect innings.
It was the eighth consecutive game decided by one run that the Diamondbacks have lost. This season, they’re just 18-28 in one-run games.
But the Diamondbacks’ recent misery is not limited to one-run games. Nineteen games ago, they were a first-place team. But their 6-13 stretch has resulted in a five-game swing in the standings, with the Diamondbacks now sitting in third place with 16 games remaining.
Parra smoked the first pitch he saw from Hirano on one hop to Goldschmidt. It came off his bat at 98 mph, and Goldschmidt tried to play the ball to his left on a short hop. He couldn’t do so cleanly.
After a Charlie Blackmon sac bunt, LeMahieu hit a 1-1 fastball, a pitch that Hirano wanted down and away but instead went up and over the plate.
“It got away and it was kind of up where he could hit it,” Hirano said, speaking through interpreter Kelvin Kondo.
It was the eighth time the Diamondbacks’ bullpen had suffered a loss in the past 15 games.

What motivates a group of Latter-day Saints to leave their homes on Christmas for a day of hard work? Their desire to serve Him whose birth we celebrate.
In late December a chill mist shrouds the bare vines in the predawn darkness. The vineyard is silent except for one section, which is filled with voices and a bright, crackling bonfire. It is Christmas morning, and elsewhere in this valley, people are still warm in their beds or gathered around Christmas trees watching excited children. But not the small group in the vineyard. They have come to give a gift.
To understand the meaning of the gift, you must know that this vineyard in Madera, California, USA, is part of the Church’s welfare production system. Each year it produces about 400,000 pounds (180,000 kg) of raisins. Half of the harvest goes to the shelves of bishops’ storehouses. The rest is used for humanitarian response around the world. Wards and branches from eight stakes are assigned certain tasks to complete and rows of vines to care for.
One crucial task is pruning the vines. The tangle of the past season’s growth must be cut out, leaving just the few canes that will grow to produce the next harvest. Without this dormant-season pruning, the vineyard becomes overgrown. Too many vines overwhelm the roots’ ability to sustain them. Too little fruit is produced, and the harvest is greatly diminished.
Why do this work on Christmas day? Because many of the ward members are fieldworkers by trade, pruning vineyards and orchards for their livelihood. Their work is intensive at this time of year, so this is the only day they have off in several weeks. It’s Christmas—and they spend it here in the Church’s vineyard. In fact, they have come here 8 of the past 15 Christmases. For these members of the Spanish-speaking Madera Third Ward, it is their gift to El Niño—to the Christ child.
And so, on this particular Christmas day, once these members of the Madera Third Ward finish pruning, wrapping, and tying their assigned vines, they finish parts of two neighboring wards’ rows. It is a gift fit for a King.

 Why do this work on Christmas day ? Because many of the ward members are fieldworkers by trade , pruning vineyards and orchards for their livelihood . Their work is intensive at this time of year , so this is the only day they have off in several weeks . It ’s Christmas—and they spend it here in the Church ’s vineyard . In fact , they have come here 8 of the past 15 Christmases . For these members of the Spanish - speaking Madera Third Ward , it is their gift to El Niño—to the Christ child .
 And so , on this particular Christmas day , once these members of the Madera Third Ward finish pruning , wrapping , and tying their assigned vines , they finish parts of two neighboring wards ’ rows . It is a gift fit for a King .

And Kate came out ahead of Meghan in a recent poll.

Prince Harry has pushed his grandmother the Queen off the top spot in a new royal poll, which has deemed the newly married duke the most popular royal of 2018.
Harry, sixth in line to the throne and at the center of the year’s biggest royal media event, was deemed likable by 77 percent of respondents, in a poll of 3,600 Britons conducted by YouGov between May 15 and October 31. Harry is followed closely by the Queen, with 74 percent, and Prince William, who is third with 73 percent of respondents saying they have a favorable view of him.
Harry is described by his fans as “admirable, likable, humorous, fun-loving, and genuine,” the YouGov survey said.
Prince Charles, who celebrates his 70th birthday tomorrow, comes seventh in the poll. His brother Prince Andrew is the least popular royal, ranked 15th in the survey.
Despite their constant presence in the media and ease with audiences, both Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle came in behind their spouses in the poll, ranked fourth and sixth, respectively. (Meghan came in behind Prince Philip, who has retired from public life, though he might have decades of royal life to boost him there.) It’s not the only poll in which Kate has recently out-ranked her sister-in-law; another recent survey found that Kate remains the most influential royal when it comes to fashion.
The Queen, the country’s longest reigning monarch, is traditionally voted the most popular member of the royal family, but 2018 has been an epic year for Prince Harry, whose global popularity was on vivd display during his and Meghan’s recent South Pacific tour. Only 7 percent of those surveyed had a negative opinion of Harry while 13 percent had a neutral one. 20 percent had a negative view of Prince Charles, and 30 percent percent had a neutral opinion.

I just read this on Jeff Sutherland’s Blog and I couldn’t help but compare my current employer (Intergen) to Toyota. Yea we are vastly different companies with Toyota being a far bigger company, but I found a few things that was really interesting for me to compare.
We are trying to follow agile methodologies and in some teams, especially our product teams, it is working really well. The teams that struggle is were we have to convince clients to use agile methodologies to get their software produced, but we are getting there I think. What really stood out for me when I read this post was that we have the fundamentals right. We are never satisfied, there is always a better way, we not only push back to management, we also push back to clients. If we see a better approach or solution we tell everyone. We have a pretty flat hierarchy and contrarian opinions are expected, we also let people think for themselves and they are not expected to follow orders blindly. I like the last bit of the post "Pick a friendly fight", I believe we encourage this with open communication. Looking at all of this, I think we have a really solid foundation that we can build on, and as we grow even bigger this is going to differentiate us from our competitors.
The Toyota Production System (TPS) is a necessary but not sufficient condition for Toyota's success. TPS is a radical innovation that has disrupted a huge market. However, without the "soft" factors that drive Toyota, they would still be just another auto company.
This is also true of Scrum where the Scrum framework is a necessary condition for hyperproductivity but that alone will never get you there. The team must rise to the occasion, engineering practices must be extraordinary, and management must provide an environment that removes all impediments that stand in the way. You can only get high quality by going fast in the right way and you can only go fast in the right way by working less, not more. Failure of managers to understand these paradoxes will cause Scrum to fail and often the company along with it. This is natural in a free market economy where bad companies deserve to fail and the sooner the better as then improved companies, products, and services can emerge more quickly.
Takeuchi wrote "The New New Product Development Game" which launched the first Scrum team and his work continues to be of high interest to the Scrum community. He and his colleagues have struggled to understand Toyota for decades and done many studies to try to get to the bottom of Toyota's success.
Quite simply, TPS is a “hard” innovation that allows the company to keep improving the way it manufactures vehicles; in addition, Toyota has mastered a “soft” innovation that relates to corporate culture. The company succeeds, we believe, because it creates contradictions and paradoxes in many aspects of organizational life. Employees have to operate in a culture where they constantly grapple with challenges and problems and must come up with fresh ideas. That’s why Toyota constantly gets better. The hard and the soft innovations work in tandem. Like two wheels on a shaft that bear equal weight, together they move the company forward.
Toyota’s culture of contradictions plays as important a role in its success as TPS does, but rivals and experts have so far overlooked it. Toyota believes that ef?ciency alone cannot guarantee success. Make no mistake: No company practices Taylorism better than Toyota does. What’s different is that the company views employees not just as pairs of hands but as knowledge workers who accumulate chie—the wisdom of experience—on the company’s front lines. Toyota therefore invests heavily in people and organizational capabilities, and it garners ideas from everyone and everywhere: the shop floor, the office, the field.
Perhaps the biggest contradiction has always been Toyota's mission - to make the world a better place. Therefore they do things no other auto company with do even if there is not an immediate financial return.
This focus captures the hearts of the people and their spirit of innovation. To execute it well requires great leadership and great leadership is servant leadership that listens to the people and changes their behavior to help the people.

Brrr, its November. With Autumn well and truly down on us like a wolf at the fold, I thought it was time for some hot, nourishing, easy dishes. The featured ingredient this week is chicken thighs ~ which are not everyone’s favourite thing. To be honest, I have struggled to make a dish I like using chicken thighs.
However, all of these recipes look and sound great, and I can’t wait to try out a couple.
From Elise at Simply Recipes there’s this Sally Vargas one-pan paprika chicken with potatoes and tomatoes. Although it will take an hour to make, (15 minutes preparation, 45 minutes cooking), this is a really simple dish.
Also from Elise at simply recipes we have this great lemon chicken dish. This is really finger food and would go great with a really sharp beer.
Here’s something I really like the sound of. From Jessica Merchant at how sweet it is we have sticky apple cider bbq chicken. This recipe uses both apple cider and apple cider vinegar ~ what’s not to like.
This recipe from Tieghan Gerard at Half Baked Harvest can use either chicken breast pieces or chicken thighs. Actually I think the Hawaiian bbq skewers with sriracha honey butter will work better with chicken thighs. You know what? This is a 30 minute dish, and it looks fabulous.
I really, really, like the look of this Thai coconut curry chicken from Chungah at Damn Delicious. This recipe uses whole bone-in chicken thighs, and should be ready to eat in under an hour. How good is that?
I’ve included this recipe for crispy balsamic chicken by Lyndsay Funston for two reasons. Firstly because I am going to cook this tomorrow, and secondly it’s from a site called Delish who have a handy post entitled 20 amazing chicken thigh recipes. Lots of ideas there. Enjoy.
Finally for this Food on Friday we have a link to the vegetarian / vegan Cookie + kate. (Cookie is the dog ~ a vegetarian dog? Really?) This is a great, great post, so it’s included even though there isn’t a chicken thigh in site. From Cookie + kate; what to cook in November.
Thank you ever so to all the great cooks featured in this week’s Food on Friday.

So here I’m shooting for the browser, w_spanner_controller? Nope, no w_spanner anything. W_controller_spanner? Nope, no w_controller anything.
“OK, what’s in the titlebar?” I ask, my frustration growing.
Have you ever worked on a system that had literally hundreds of windows with names that are not intuitive? I’ve seen names like w_a13_6.
This solution requires a two prong approach. It requires that you have a base class window and a base class menu (see the NOTE at the bottom). Let’s start with the window.
You need to create a user event that you will call from the menu (that’s why we start with the window, so the menu will have something to call).
I called my event ue_internals but of course you can call it whatever you like, flying_coat_hangers leaps to mind.
Now add the following code. Note that I’ve left out the header comments that I always provide. I did that so that you don’t have to wade through all that.
ls_display = "Internal structure of " + lcd.libraryname + "." + this.title + " (" + ls_name + ")~r~n~r~n"
do while lcd_ancestor.name <> "window"
if li_count <> 1 then ls_display += "->"
ls_display += "Menu: " + this.menuname + "~r~n"
// so that at runtime I can display them here, cool?
ls_display += "DEBUG:" + "~r~n"
i.ls_display += is_debug_messages[li_messages] + "~r~n"
ii.ls_display += "Datawindow: " + control[li_current_control].className() + "." + ldw.dataobject + "~r~n"
iii.ls_display += "Rows: [" + string(ldw.rowcount( )) + "]"
v.ls_display += " Marked for deletion: " + string(ldw.deletedcount( )) + "~r~n~r~n"
// and displays the text better with more flexibility.
Let’s take a look at this code. I’ve numbered it so we can talk about it.
Line 3 defines a ClassDefinition object for this object (the window that you are in). That gives us some very handy information.
Line 4 gives me a ClassDefinition for my immediate ancestor.
You might notice that I create a classDefinition for the ancestor but I didn’t do that for the lcd that was populated in line 3. How is that? The classDefinition for THIS window comes with the window. It’s already in memory and doesn’t have to be created. That’s not so for the ancestor, it’s not in memory.
Now I go into a loop from lines 13-14. I use these to populate an array of window names that are all the ancestors for this window.
Line 21 gives me the name of my menu.
Starting in line 28 I loop through each of the datawindows showing the pbl.name then info for each. This ends in line 33.
Finally in line 36 I show ls_display.
We open the base level menu. Add a top level item. I call mine invisibles. Set the visible attribute to FALSE. Now it and all of the submenus will not be visible to the user.
Add a submenu item. I call mine ‘internals’.
The parentWindow is not likely to be a w_base as it is defined in the first line but that’s OK. We can define it as w_base as long as in this script we do not access anything that does not exist in a w_base.
The last thing is to give it a shortcut for ctrl-alt-d.
NOTE you don’t really need a base class menu but if you don’t then you need to add the invisible menu item to every menu that is used in a window wherein you want this functionality.

The new requirements that began Jan 1, 2011 call for registering with the state. To register you must complete a Pharmacy Tech course. So far all I have found are in the $13K to $15K the is thousand dollar range for the courses. It seems an awful amount of money for a job that doesn't pay much more than McDonald's to start with. Even after experience $17 seems to be the maximun I have seen.
I would love to know about any other schools with a better price. I can't afford to go at this point.

“I’ll feed it special ant-gro tablets,” Martin says.
What crumb is not good?
Which insect is not sad?
Treated as if we were not threats.
Martin attempts to light the ant on fire. He can’t. It’s made of flame-retardant ant foam.
Do not test the resistant properties of my flame-retardant body.
But I fear Smokey the Bear.
But Smokey the Bear coming to defeat us both — that I dread.
“You should marry him,” Jane proposes.
Which enlightens this lower world.
