Imagine that you've just spent a fortune on a piece of clothing and you want to keep it in perfect condition and wear it for as long as possible. How would you wash it? In a washing machine with a cheap detergent that contains aggressive ingredients? Or handwash it with a detergent that's more expensive, but gentler and more pure?
Now, for your hair: You've just spent a fortune (and many hours!) on a new hair colour and you want to keep it looking fresh for as long as possible. How would you wash your hair? With a cheap shampoo that contains aggressive ingredients or with a gentler, purer but more expensive shampoo?
As for with your clothes, the lifetime of your new hair colour will be affected by washing, depending on your choice of shampoo. More importantly, depending on the ingredients of that shampoo. To maximize the lifetime of your new colour, there are several ingredients to avoid as they can be aggressive and wash out a new colour.
In cosmetic hair science, there are objective ways of measuring the damaging effect of a shampoo on hair. Two such measures are: (1) the loss of protein (mainly keratin) generated by the shampoo and (2) the amount of trans-epidermal water loss through damages caused to the lipid barrier of skin. In other words, the amount of water lost through the skin due to damage.
When choosing a shampoo to preserve a dye job, there are three families of ingredients to avoid because they all score very badly on the aggressivity scale : sulfates, ingredients starting with sulfo and ingredients ending in isethionate.
There are several variants: sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium coco-sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, or any ingredients that end with sulfate.
These ingredients have a comparable chemical structure to sulfates and share a common element: sulphur. Some commonly found variants are sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate and disodium laureth sulfosuccinate.
These are commonly hidden behind sulfate free claims. One variant that some studies say is more aggressive than most sulfates is sodium cocoyl isethionate.
Finally, the two last ingredients to avoid in your shampoo are cocamidopropyl betaine and cocamide DEA.
Mentions and allegations stating that some shampoos are ''sulfate free'' are, these days, very common in stores. Are those enough to say that the product is safe? Our answer is: NO! You need to look beyond these statements and look for the ingredients mentioned above. Even in shampoos with logos that claim to be organic, sulfate-free or formulated to protect color, you could find these aggressive ingredients, which in the end, will not help the life span of your colour.
In short, the best guarantee for your coloured hair is a shampoo that is 100% natural, without sulfates and none of those bad ingredients mentioned previously.


Professional services firm KPMG has succeeded in attracting potential recruits through a jobs fair on the Second Life virtual world.
The online fair allowed the company to meet more people and carry out more activities with them than a traditional jobs fair, said Alison Heron, senior manager of recruitment marketing at KPMG.
The event, organised by recruitment company TMP Worldwide last month, was attended by Royal Bank of Scotland and Yell UK, as well as KPMG.
Heron said the company took part in the event to assess the potential of virtual worlds as a recruitment tool that could reach a wider audience.
"The event confirmed to us that there are lot of people using these sites that are interested in finding out more information through different means," she said.

Владимир Ильич Краснов (27 ноября 1946, Ульяновск — 31 августа 1984, Кишинёв) — советский футболист, крайний защитник, обладатель Кубка СССР 1972 года в составе московского «Торпедо». Всего в высшей лиге СССР сыграл 187 матчей и забил 2 гола. Мастер спорта СССР (1968).

Биография

Клубная карьера
Воспитанник кишинёвского футбола, первый тренер — Сергей Тимофеевич Корнилов. 15 апреля 1964 года дебютировал в высшей лиге СССР в составе кишинёвской «Молдовы» в домашнем матче против минского «Динамо». До конца сезона принял участие в 12 матчах, а его команда вылетела из высшей лиги. Следующие четыре сезона выступал за кишинёвский клуб (под названиями «Молдова» и «Авынтул») в первой лиге.

Летом 1968 года перешёл в московское «Торпедо», дебютный матч сыграл 22 сентября 1968 года против ЦСКА, выйдя на замену вместо Давида Паиса на 68-й минуте. В сезоне-1968 «Торпедо» стало бронзовым призёром чемпионата страны и обладателем Кубка СССР, однако Краснов в кубковых матчах не выступал.

В течение следующих пяти сезонов Краснов был твёрдым игроком основного состава автозаводцев. В чемпионатах страны сыграл за команду 150 матчей, голов не забивал. Стал обладателем Кубка СССР 1972 года, играл в обоих финальных матчах против московского «Спартака» и во второй игре реализовал один из послематчевых пенальти. Провёл 4 матча в Кубке обладателей Кубков в сезонах 1969/70 и 1973/74.

В 1974 году вернулся в кишинёвский клуб, который под названием «Нистру» снова играл в высшей лиге. 24 июля 1974 года забил свой первый гол в высшей лиге — в Москве в ворота своего бывшего клуба «Торпедо» (3:4). По итогам сезона вместе с клубом вылетел из высшей лиги и следующий сезон провёл в первом дивизионе.

В 1976 году присоединился к команде высшей лиги «Крылья Советов» (Куйбышев), но сыграл только два матча в начале сезона. После этого прекратил выступления на уровне команд мастеров.

Карьера в сборной
14 августа 1965 года принял участие в товарищеском матче юношеских сборных Польши и СССР (3:3) в городе Зелёна-Гура.

На рубеже 1967—1968 года в составе сборной клубов СССР принял участие в международном турнире в Лиме (Перу), выходил на поле в двух матчах против клубов «Альянса» и «Спортинг Кристал».

Трагически погиб 31 августа 1984 года в Кишинёве в возрасте 37 лет. Похоронен на кишинёвском кладбище «Дойна» («Святой Лазарь»).

European Railways Discuss European Prototypes here.
Scales Modeled: H0, O fine scale, 5" Live steam.
Some years ago while walking through a park in Ashby-de-la-Zouch I came upon a charity stall where I found a book about a Father and Son who walked the whole length of the abandoned West Clare railway ( in stages ).
Very interesting book but I can't lay my hands on it at this moment so cannot add the title or author.
It is a great read, written by Edmund Lenihan ... In the Tracks of the West Clare Railway. It was written in the 1980s and quite a lot has changed since then. But, nonetheless, a fantastic book.
Hi Roger. Found the book !!!
My edition is 2008 by Mercer Press.
Have put it out for re-reading for as you say it is a good read.


So, there's a lot of hype at the moment about a ROM hack called "Yoshi in Sonic 2". While it is getting attention now, it originally was shown back in 2010 at the Sonic Hacking Contest of that year. It was either a private or partial private entry at the time, as those were still a thing back then, meaning that a ROM was never released to the public. However Xenowhirl, the creator of the hack, released a ROM of it in the Tech Members Lounge to get both opinions and bug reports, as they felt it wouldn't be ready before 2011.
Although this forum itself has gone quiet recently (along with Tech Member advancements), the whole point of a private forum such as this is to be able to release and discuss with the confidence in knowing that what is said or shown will be kept private by those in there.
It seems that this trust has been breached in some form or fashion. Someone either released this publicly, or at the very least shared it on their server at some point in a public folder with file listing enabled. One such folder is easily accessible, with the file very obviously there and available.
Unfortunately, this is the common story of a lot of leaks. If someone uploads something for someone to see, someone else accesses it when they shouldn't. If someone shares in some form, it goes down the line as more people who "are trusted to not share with anyone else" are added to the chain.
While there is nothing that can be done about this now, obviously, it should serve as a somewhat lesson at the very least.
Be careful about who you share things with.
Be careful with other people's trust.
Be careful about what you upload to share and make sure it is secure.
Think before you do anything along these lines.
If we find out this was deliberate, then said person will end up with a permaban from Retro. Shark Week for stupidity is one thing, but abuse of trust is another entirely.

Cuba holds political-cultural evening to honor Fidel Castro
Cuban university students held a political-cultural evening in tribute to the historical leader of the Revolution, Fidel Castro, on the 3rd anniversary of his physical disappearance.
At the grand staircase of the University of Havana, Susely Morfa, first secretary of the Cuban Young Communist League (UJC)'s national committee, highlighted the important role Cuban youth have currently played as a defender of Fidel's legacy.
In that sense, the UJC first secretary meant the relevance of unity to preserve forever the conquests of the Cuban Revolution around the socialist project.
Morfa referred to the influence of his thinking on current generations, his capacity as a military strategist, as well as the faithful conception of politics and the validity of the conditions of the contemporary world.
The youth leader confirmed that although the scenarios are transformed, the new generations are aware of their role in the preservation of the island's sovereignty.
The higher education center, place where Fidel Castro became a revolutionary man, brought together thousands of Cuban university students and young people who demonstrated the validity of their revolutionary legacy and expressed support to the historical continuity.

'It is extremely serious not only because of the friction with the ethical and moral decorum that is expected of all citizens and public authorities, but also because of its legal implications,' the Federal Attorney General's Office of Citizen Rights, in a public note to the Public Ministry.
Bolsonaro unleashed the controversy when he told reporters on Monday that he would tell Felipe Santa Cruz, president of the Brazilian Bar Association (OAB), how his father died during the military dictatorship (1964-1985).
Felipe is the son of the late Fernando Augusto Santa Cruz de Oliveira, killed by the Armed Forces in 1974, as evidenced by a secret Aeronautical document.
However, Bolsonaro dared to say that Fernando was executed by an armed group of the left and not by the military.
'Who is that OAB? If one day the president of the OAB wants to know how his father disappeared in the military period, I tell him. He will not want to hear the truth. I tell you, 'said the politician of the extreme right.
Signed by the federal prosecutor for Citizens' Rights, Deborah Duprat, and deputy Marlon Weichert, the note notes that 'rare situations cause as much suffering as the disappearance of a loved one.'
In Brazil, more than 80 thousand families face the disappearance situation each year from different sources: social, health and violent disappearances.
'Everyone suffers, almost always in silence, this perennial pain, which does not cease until the whereabouts of the loved one are discovered. Respect for this pain is a sign of humanity and dignity, practiced by different civilizations and all religions', details the Prosecutor's text.
Venezuela Celebrates 208th Anniversary of Independence
On July 5, 1811, José Antonio Rodríguez, the then President of Congress, declared Venezuela independent of the Spanish empire.
Bolivarian and communist supporters are marching on Friday across the streets of the capital in order to celebrate the 208th anniversary of Venezuela's Independence Day, while, at the same time, the Venezuelan opposition holds a separate protest.

Diosdado Cabello, head of the National Constituent Assembly and the governing United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), convoked the march starting at 9 A.M.., local time, in the Avenue Nueva Granada.
A special session was also scheduled in the assembly with the Armed Forces Chief Remigio Ceballos in order to celebrate the anniversary.
As for the opposition march, it will start from the Avenue Francisco de Miranda, in front of the United Nations Agency for Development (PUND), up to the facility for counter-intelligence military services (Dgcim) in order to protest against alleged human rights abuse, torture and extra-judicial assessinations.
On Thursday, the Venezuelan government issued a statement rejecting the findings of a report released by the United Nations Human Rights Commission, questioning the methodology used to collect the data.
For instance, the statement pointed to the fact that 82% percent of the interviews by the OHCHR were carried out with people who reside outside of Venezuelan.
The statement added officials from the U.N agency "made two visits to the country during the year 2019, the first of it in the month of March with a duration of 12 days and the second between June 19 and 22, by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights."
Also, the report failed to reflect the negative impact of the economic blockade that the U.S. has implemented against Venezuela while excluding the fact the government of President Nicolas Maduro tried to maintain people's purchasing power and implemented emergency measures to help the population deal with the economic situation.
Nikki Haley Resigns as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations
President Trump's ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki R. Haley, has resigned, ahead of what Mr. Trump promised on Twitter on Tuesday was a "Big announcement" with Ms. Haley at the White House.
Ms. Haley, a former governor of South Carolina, had been an early and frequent critic of Mr. Trump, so when he named her the envoy to the world body weeks after his election in November 2016, the appointment was seen as an olive branch.
@realDonaldTrump Big announcement with my friend Ambassador Nikki Haley in the Oval Office at 10:30am.
The daughter of immigrants from India, Ms. Haley favored free markets and global trade and earned international attention for speaking out against the Confederate battle flag in the aftermath of the 2015 massacre at a black church in Charleston. During Mr. Trump's presidential campaign, she sharply criticized his demeanor and warned what it might mean for American diplomacy — even suggesting that his tendency to lash out at critics could cause a world war.
As ambassador, Ms. Haley was an outspoken and often forceful envoy — someone whom foreign diplomats looked to for guidance from an administration known for haphazard and inconsistent policy positions. She was quick to voice her own opinions on the big policy issues that are high on her agenda, like Iran and North Korea. And she has cast herself as someone who can sway her mercurial boss on issues like Russia sanctions, refugee resettlement and the value of the United Nations itself.
'Russia hacked the birds': Social media mocks Swedish paranoia after birds take down fighter jet
News that a Swedish fighter jet crashed after colliding with a flock of birds has left some on social media joking about Russian involvement – Sweden's go-to scapegoat for all unforeseen phenomena, real or imagined.
A JAS Gripen fighter plane crashed on Tuesday near the town of Ronneby in southern Sweden, with the pilot reportedly ejecting safely from his aircraft.
Sweden is known for pointing the finger at Moscow whenever something goes awry. From mysterious "submarine" sightings off its coasts to migrant rioters burning cars, Stockholm somehow knows that Russia is always to blame. Responding to Tuesday's unfortunate "bird strike," social media users jokingly seized on this peculiar brand of Swedish logic.

"Birds down Swedish fighter jet. Russian ornithologists suspected," one cheeky Facebook user commented. "Must have been russian birds. Those pesky Russians!" wrote another.
Other sarcastic"Russia!" comments include: "Probably Putin's pet bird" and "Russia hacked the birds. Russian agresion (sp). The birds must be sanctioned."
However, one Facebook user offered up a far less sinister explanation for the accident: "Don't text & fly."
Lula Party Reach Neutrality Pact With Socialists in Brazil Vote
The pact is a blow to center-left presidential candidate Ciro Gomes, who is running third in early polling and sought the backing of the PSB to boost his chances of making the run-off between the two most voted candidates on Oct. 7.
Brazil's former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's Workers Party (PT) has reached a neutrality pact with the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB) that will end their rivalries in several states in the October general elections.
RELATED: Largest US Union Federation Releases Manifesto Supporting Lula
The Workers Party announced the move in a statement on Wednesday, while the PSB must still ratify at its convention on Sunday a commitment not to back any presidential candidate since it is not fielding its own.
It also confirms that Brazil's left will enter the election divided, which could help the business-friendly center-right candidate Geraldo Alckmin and far-right hopeful Jair Bolsonaro, who is currently the front-runner riding on voter anger with political corruption and rising crime.
In Brazil's most uncertain race in decades, the Workers Party plans to nominate Lula at its convention on Saturday, even though he cannot campaign and will almost certainly be barred from running due to a contested corruption conviction. Lula, who is still Brazil's most influential politician, is expected to name a stand-in at the last minute in mid-September.
The Workers Party will withdraw Marilia Arraes, its candidate for governor who was threatening the re-election of Paulo Camara in the PSB's most important state, Pernambuco.
In return, the PSB will not run against the Workers Party governor of Minas Gerais, Fernando Pimentel, party officials told Reuters.
"Gave Up Nothing" At Meeting With Putin, Says Donald Trump
Washington: U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he "gave up nothing" at last week's private meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin but remained elusive about their conversation as fellow Republicans and other critics questioned any potential deals.
Following the two leaders' summit in Helsinki, Trump previously said they discussed a range of issues, including efforts to denuclearize North Korea, the Middle East peace efforts and cyber attacks but has not given any details.
Russian officials have said Putin made concrete proposals to Trump during their one-on-one talk regarding conflict in Ukraine. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also said the two discussed the Syrian crisis.
But top U.S. intelligence officials and members of Congress have said they do not know what was discussed and have not been briefed.
"I gave up NOTHING, we merely talked about future benefits for both countries," Trump wrote on Twitter.
Despite the fierce criticism, Trump has extended an invitation for Putin to visit Washington for a second meeting this autumn.
Majority of Americans think Trump mishandling Russia: Reuters/Ipsos poll
(Reuters) - More than half of Americans disapprove of the way U.S. President Donald Trump is handling relations with Russia, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted after his controversial summit and joint news conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
However, Trump's performance at the Helsinki summit, where Trump refused to blame the Russian leader for meddling in the 2016 U.S. election and cast doubt on the findings of U.S. intelligence agencies, did not seem to have an impact on his overall approval rating.
Forty-two percent of registered voters said they approved of Trump's performance in office in the latest opinion poll, compared with a daily average of between 40 and 44 percent so far in July.
The poll found that 55 percent of registered voters disapproved while 37 percent approved of his handling of relations with Russia.
Among Republicans, 71 percent approved of his handling of Russia compared to 14 percent of Democrats.
Trump still enjoys broad support among Republican voters despite criticism from party leaders about his words and actions while standing alongside the Russian leader answering questions from reporters, the poll results showed.
Trump surprised even his supporters when he praised the Russian leader during the news conference for his "strong and powerful" denial of meddling.
On Tuesday, Trump attempted to calm the political storm following his remarks, saying he misspoke at the news conference and had full confidence in U.S. agencies. But he appeared to veer from his script to add: "It could be other people also - there's a lot of people out there," he said.
A majority of registered voters, 59 percent, agree with the conclusions of U.S. intelligence agencies that Russia attempted to influence the U.S. election, the Reuters/Ipsos poll found. But only 32 percent of Republicans think that is true compared to 84 percent of Democrats.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll also revealed a distinct split among Republican and Democratic voters over whether Russia should be considered an adversary of the United States.
Overall, 38 percent of registered voters agreed that Russia is an enemy of the United States. About the same percent considered Russia "a competitor" while 8 percent said it was "a friend."
However, half the Democrats said it was an enemy while only about one in three Republicans considered it so.
Forty percent of Democrats described Russia as an imminent threat while only 14 percent of Republicans agreed.
Overall, 27 percent of registered voters considered Russia an imminent threat. Only North Korea got a higher response on that question, 31 percent.
The poll also asked Americans whether they think authorities will find evidence of an illegal relationship between the Trump administration and Russia. A slim majority, 51 percent, said it was likely, while 77 percent of Democrats and 19 percent of Republicans did.
The same general split was true when asked if Trump or someone from his campaign worked with Russia to influence the 2016 election. Overall, 52 percent of registered voters agreed. But 81 percent of Democrats said that was true versus 19 percent of Republicans.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll gathered responses from 1,011 registered voters throughout the United States, including 453 Republicans and 399 Democrats. The poll has a credibility interval, a measure of precision, of 4 percentage points.

GRETNA – A local homeowner is being sued by a home elevation company that claims he did not pay for elevating his home.
Orleans Shoring LLC filed suit against Johnnie Booker in the 24th Judicial District Court on Nov. 12.
Orleans Shoring claims that on July 10, 2013 it entered into a contract with Booker to provide labor, materials, services and equipment to elevate his home located at 3524 W. Loyola Drive in Kenner. The plaintiff alleges that under the contract it was to perform all of the work and the defendant would pay $17,491.75. Orleans Shoring contends that Booker has failed to pay for the home elevation project completed at his home.
Damages in the amount of $17,491.75 plus attorney's fees and legal costs are sought by the plaintiff.
Orleans Shoring is represented by attorney Jason Wade of Harahan.

Our Zoo passes expired March 30th and we've been having withdrawals. Corbin has asked on several occasions to go, but it hasn't been in the budget…till Friday when Luke surprised me with a new pass. Yeah! I told Corbin and he started walking toward the gate. Ha! I told him we couldn't go that day because it was too late in the day, but that we'd try to go in the next couple of days. We ended up going Saturday and were expecting a huge crowd and instead it was the best day to go. Who would have thought! We arrived around 9:30am and the parking lot was fairly empty and a breeze to walk around the park. The Elephant Odyssey was wide open which is saying a lot if you've ever been. The walkways are so narrow in some places making it very difficult to walk around. Not this day! It was a great day to spent with my men.
What a great picture of you three. I'm glad you have your zoo passes again!

Businesses in Myanmar are urging the banking sector to remain stable
Stable banking conditions are needed both now and in the future, say local business owners and entrepreneurs.
Most employees say they only took out enough money to last a week or two during payday because of the banks being closed, and this is a growing problem for many businesses.
"Some factories are also having difficulties meeting their delivery deadlines. Over the long term, these minor issues could have a significant impact on the company. Even if customers aren't complaining now, they will in the future, according to one business owner.
Several others expressed concern about sanctions imposed by the United States against the military. Many state-owned banks lend money to private banks, which means that even though the sanctions are focused on military-owned businesses and cronies, the country's cash flow will be affected.
There have been no banks open for business for over a week because bank employees have been participating in a nationwide protest against the military while away from their desks.
Businesses that have reopened do so with a more modest scope. "State-owned Myawady Bank reopened with security guards yesterday. It was previously closed. However, they were forced to shut down again because so many people withdrew money. When I went to withdraw money from Myawady Bank today, there were only 60 slots available.
The Myanmar Times has learned that up to 60 people can withdraw K1 million per day from state-owned bank branches, while 200 people can withdraw the same amount from the bank's headquarters, according to our sources. The majority of private banks in the area are still shut.
More than a half-dozen private banks and a handful of foreign banks operating in Myanmar.

Chicken enchilada chili is super to make and is ready in under an hour. It's full of flavor and may just replace your current chili recipe.
First off I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I hope that all your dreams come true in this New Year.
I think it is still sinking in that the New Year has started and 2017 is over. Really, how can it be 2018 already? I can't wait to see what this New Year 2018 will bring.
On one of daughter Krista's last visits home; she mentioned that she had made a recipe for chicken enchilada chili. She said that it was so tasty that she didn't know if she would go back her basic chili recipe. Since Mike and I enjoy enchiladas, she got my attention.
So you are still going to find beans in this chili, because I love beans in chili, but the enchilada sauce takes the chili in a whole different direction. If you enjoy enchiladas, I think you may fall in love with this chili.
Along with the beans and the enchilada sauce, you will also find chicken (I guess that is a given since it is in the name of this post), but also there are green chilies, a can of cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chili powder, and cumin.
I add the cream of chicken soup because I make a creamy chicken enchilada and in the recipe, it calls for the soup which makes the enchiladas saucy and delicious. This chicken enchilada chili is perfect for those cold winter lunches or dinner. You may find that you enjoy this twist in your everyday chili.
Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chicken and onion to the Dutch oven and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink.
Once the chicken is no longer pink add the diced tomatoes, green chilies, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, black beans, chili beans with gravy, red enchilada sauce and stir until well blended. Add the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 20 to 30 minutes. Serve with additional sour cream, cheddar cheese, green onions, tortilla chips, or your preference.
Looks hearty, flavourful and so delicious! Happy New Year, Dawn.
This sounds like my idea of a delicious chili, Dawn! What a fun idea to turn these flavors into chili-form. It's bitterly cold here, and we're in serious need of warming comfort food. I think a nice big pot of chili could do the trick! Happy New Year, my friend!
Well I do like enchiladas so I'm sure I would enjoy this chili. Happy New Year.
What a neat idea for chili! We have chili all the time at this time of the year (had some tonight!), so I gotta try this. Thanks!
Hi Dawn, your flavorful chicken emchilada chili look very inviting, it would be very nice to mop up all the gravy with french loaf. :)) Thanks for sharing.
This looks super tasty and perfect for this super cold weather we are having right now! Happy New Year!

Anything but victory at the Global Energy Stadium on Friday night will surely end any lingering Tangerine hopes of pipping Ross County to the Championship title.
The Staggies lead the way at the top of the table going into the contest after a key win over Highland rivals Inverness last night put them five points clear.
That's after United passed up the opportunity to grab top spot, even if for just a few days, as they failed to take advantage of County's defeat at bottom side Alloa last Saturday.
They themselves were beaten 2-1 at home by struggling Queen of the South that same afternoon to remain in second place.
Now they must win in Dingwall to have any chance of finishing top of the Championship come the end of the season – and with it, automatic promotion.
McMullan said: "It's the biggest game of the season.
"We know what we have to do up there, we have to win, and that's all we can look at.
"At Dundee United, it's not a club where you go anywhere trying to get a point.
"We go to try to win every game, that's the only thing in the lads' minds this week as we prepare for Friday.
"It would have been nice if they slipped up last night but we can only look at ourselves.
Against Queen of the South on Saturday, a side coming into the game on the back of a run of seven-straight defeats, McMullan admits the United players were "sick" with the way the game went.
After dominating the opening period, the Tangerines failed to find the key opening goal and allowed the Doonhamers the chance to grab two quick-fire goals after half-time that gave them victory.
Chances came and went throughout the contest without finding the finish, something the 23-year-old knows they'll have to improve on at Ross County if they are to get the win they crave.
He said: "Saturday was definitely a chance missed.
"We were sick with the way the game went, we didn't take our chances and then we heard Ross County had slipped up which hurt.
"At the end of the day, it's still the same gap, though, and we have to go there on Friday and win.
"I did think we played well despite the result.
"We created a lot of chances but it was one of those days where balls are hitting the post and then coming back and landing in the goalie's hands, things like that.
"It was unbelievable at times but we need to rally now after that and win on Friday.
"On another day we might come away with four or five goals.
"It was one of those days – hopefully we don't have any more of those days between now and the end of the season!
Saturday was a clear indication there are no easy games in the Championship with three of the bottom four picking up victories.
"Every team is playing for something, you can see that," McMullan added.

Step 4: Once above 2 files are downloaded and installed. Close the Visual Studio and reopen it. Now you should be able to create the database through server explorer without any errors.

A: The answers posted in this thread as well as other similar threads only apply to SQL Server 2008, 2012 and 2014, but not to SQL Server 2016
I installed ENU\x64\SharedManagementObjects.msi
I also installed the SQLSysClrTypes.msi, but to no avail.
Finally, I did the following:
1) I ran the SQL Server 2016 setup,
2) I chose to install SSDT from there,
3) Installed all of the things there: analysis, integration, reporting etc
That's it, no more errors

A: I had the same problem. I used VS 2013 with a database project and Sql server 2016 on my Pc and Sql server 2017(on a remote server). At first, when I created DB, I did not have a problem. But later when I tried to publish the changes I got a similar error. I verified the changes (updates, changes of permissions, ..) on my PC and the sql server and the only thing that changed was DB size.
It helped install VS 2017.

Drunk trainee accountant crashed car after Leeds night out
Mark Lavery
Published: 14:29 Friday 03 January 2020
A trainee accountant crashed into two parked cars in Pudsey while attempting to drive home drunk after a night out in Leeds city centre, a court heard.
Paramedics called police after spotting 21-year-old Archie Scott urinating in a street in Pudsey before getting behind the wheel of a Ford Fiesta, Leeds Magistrates' Court heard.
The junction of Swinnow Road and Hough Side Road at Pudsey
Scott crashed into two parked cars after driving a short distance while twice over the legal limit on Swinnow Road and Hough Side Road in Lowtown, Pudsey.
A woman who witnessed the crash had to jump out of the away to avoid being hit.
The court heard Scott had parked his car on a street near Bramley rail station before catching a train to work in Leeds on December 5.
Scott, of Grove Road, Pudsey, drank up to seven pints after going out with friends in Leeds city centre after work.
After the night out he caught a taxi back to where his car was parked in Pudsey.
Prosecutor, Lesley Cowling, said two ambulance crew members who were on duty in Pudsey saw Scott get out of a taxi before staggering around and urinating in the street just before 12.30am on December 6.
Miss Cowling said the ambulance crew suspected Scott was drunk and called police when they saw him get into the driver's seat.
Scott, who has no previous convictions, was breathalysed and was found to be double the legal limit for drink driving.
He admitted drink driving.
Amjid Javaid, mitigating, said Scott regularly parks near Bramley rail station before catching a train to work in Leeds.
Mr Javaid said Scott's car had previously been damaged while left overnight, adding: "Fearing his vehicle would be damaged he has made a stupid mistake of getting into his vehicle and driving a short distance to his home address around two miles away."
Second man arrested in connection with shooting of 12-year-old boy in Sheffield
Mr Javaid added: "He fully accepts responsibility for his actions."
A probation officer told the court: "He went for a few drinks with friends after work and consumed around six or seven pints."
The probation officer added: "He did show a high level or remorse. It's clear this behaviour was out of character.
"He is in full time employment of two-and-a-half years as a trainee accountant."
Lead magistrate John Ashton sentenced Scott to a 20- month driving ban and a 12-month community order with 50 hours unpaid work.
Scott must pay £85 court costs and a £90 surcharge.

Jacob Juma's KILLING: Police allegedly 'COOK EVIDENCE' to validate Crime Scene, More TOUGH QUESTIONS still answered.
It is now obvious, those who executed anti-corruption activist Jacob Juma did a shoddy job and their masters may come for them sooner than later. The masters and executors of the killing must be having a serious debate on what went wrong ? why a shoddy job?
The alleged cover-up by police is also shoddy making matters worse for the killers, in a desperate attempt to show progress CID boss now claims that police using metal detectors found the bullet cartridges that were from an AK47 rifle.
Already some pundits have questioned the sudden discovery of the cartridges, one pundit says the discovery is a cookery by CID to give validity to 'crime scene'
"Government agents #buried cartridges at the stage-managed site of Jacob Juma's death, and thereafter used specialized equipment to #'discover' them. Someone working hard to give that site validity! 7 bullets to his head, 3 stomach and hand, BUT no marks on car seat, and only sparse blood spots in his car seat?"– pundit Frank O was quoted.
HERE is the Propaganda piece run by Nation Media, it is a horror piece with 10 basic kindergarten questions that they say are tough for CID>>>>
Police used a special metal detector to find the cartridges as a preliminary postmortem report showed the controversial businessman and political activist was killed by two bullets to his chest, fired from close range.
Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) boss Ndegwa Muhoro said the cartridges were from an AK47 rifle.
"They are being analysed to establish if the weapon had been used elsewhere," he said.
Detectives from the DCI homicide unit who recovered the cartridges immediately towed Mr Juma's vehicle from Karen Police Station to their headquarters on Kiambu Road.
Early reports had indicated that Mr Juma was shot several times at close range.
Examination of the body showed that he was shot from the front and that at least two fatal bullets exited through the back.
However, it was not clear if these bullets have been found at the scene of the crime and none appears to be lodged in the backrest of the driver's seat.
The earlier theory that Mr Juma was hurriedly shot in a random, quick-fire, drive-by shooting at the scene is not supported by the injuries he suffered.
BULLET-PROOF WINDOWS
It may well be that he was killed at the scene — some 10 metres or so off the Karen road at the inter-change near Lenana School — but an examination of early photos of his vehicle and the scene tend to support the notion that a determined effort was made to kill the brash millionaire.
A likely scenario is that a vehicle blocked Mr Juma, he swerved, veered off the road and ended up in a ditch on the roadside where his vehicle was found.
Photos of Mr Juma's car show that the Mercedes Benz S320 resisted a volley of shots on the windscreen, giving credence to initial information, and Mr Juma's own earlier assertions, that his car was bullet-proof.
After attempting to shoot through the windows, the attackers seem to have resorted to using a pick-axe, or a similar sharp object, to pierce the windscreen without much success.
A similar assault seems to have been significantly resisted by the driver's window, albeit with holes.
The right rear passenger window was shattered and the businessman could have been shot through there.
However, the killer shots could only have been inflicted on his chest if he had turned in his seat to face his attackers.
The attackers may also have shot the businessman through other small openings made with the pick axe-type object.
Mr Juma, a licensed small arms owner, was probably armed at the time of the attack, but his bullet proof windows would have protected his attackers as much as they protected him.
He could also have been sure that his car would protect him from the assailants and did not make determined efforts to drive out of the ditch or merely panicked when the shooting started.
In essence, then, the controversial businessman had, in the blink of an eye, transitioned from being one of the most protected and secure motorists in Nairobi, to a sitting duck.
Death came in the form of multiple rifle shots, which shattered his arm and collapsed his chest.
The wounds on his right hand indicate that it was hit several times.
There were blood stains on the roof of the car, as well as on the steering wheel, the dashboard, front passenger seat and the centre console.
"The hand could have been injured when the attackers were smashing the driver's and the rear right windows," a senior officer familiar with the investigations said on Tuesday on condition of anonymity.
The scope of the investigations has also been widened to include a review of some files that were pending under investigations in which the deceased was either a complainant or was adversely mentioned.
10 unanswered questions
1.What was the motive for what is clearly the murder of a controversial businessman?
2.Who had the opportunity and means — in this case control of what appears to be a determined bunch of assassins — to commit the crime?
3.Was Mr Juma killed at the scene? If he wasn't, where was he killed?
4.If Mr Juma was shot inside the car at close range, where are the bullets? If by some means he was shot through the windscreen, why is the backrest undamaged?
5.Whom did Mr Juma communicate with on his two mobile phones and what is their story? What does the data on his phones say about his movements?
6.Was the car bullet-proof as claimed?
7.Have witnesses at the scene helped to build a profile of the attackers?
8.Did the first responders move the body? What does the position of the body tell investigators about the direction of attack?
9.Why was the car towed to Karen Police Station with the body still inside? And why did officers fail to secure the scene of crime?
10.Why were only two cartridges recovered if multiple shots were fired? What do the ballistics say about the attack and the attackers?

2019 is a year of major transformations!!!
For me the New Year is all about breaking the norms and feeling empowered. And empowerment has a lot to do with how you feel within about yourself. And how you feel about yourself has a lot to do with the awareness you have of the soul within. That leads to boundless confidence and a self reliant attitude. That is why when you see the most charismatic personalities wearing Animal Prints, their demeanor instinctively overpowers you.
For me clothes are an extension of one's personality. So when I am in a mood to feel stronger and powerful, I adorn myself in these exotic layers.
Animal Prints have been popular from the 18th Century and yes this was very much a part of exhibiting Power and Wealth, including Furs in the later years. Remember, I shared in a blog post about " furs "and how they were the symbol of wealth. Similarly these eye grabbing exotic animal prints represent confidence, strength and power. These prints are impactful no matter how you wear them.
From Tiger Stripes to Cheetah Spots to Leopard Rossettes to Zebra prints all grab abundant attention. In 1925 Marian Nixon crashed cars as she walked down in Hollywood Boulevard in a Leopard Skin coat with her Pet Leopard on a Leash. The print became a symbol of high fashion glamour. All the leading ladies were seen enjoying in it's embrace – Elizabeth Taylor, Marylin Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Joan Fontaine, Debbie Harry, Rita Hayworth and many more displayed their styles with accessories, hats and clothing. Animal Prints were also seen on dresses, and shoes.
The Iconic Animal Prints became a lot popular in the United States in the late 1960's during the Bohemian Movement. This print has seen incarnation from its inception in the 18th century. In the 1920's – 1930's animal skin was kind of a trophy hanging on the walls of great courageous men. 1940's and 50's witnessed the Pin – up girls in skimpy skin outfits and lingerie taking eroticism to madness with "Vanity Fair" selling Leopard Print Underwear. Fur Coats took the lead in the 50's signifying power and grandeur.
1960's saw the print in more sophistication and became more popular with Bob Dylan's song Leopard Skin Pill Box Hat. 1970's and 80's became all about glam rock look and one witnessed these prints being cat-walked by the most stunning women on the runways which continued to scorch the ramps and the fashion scene in the 1990's.
My favourite Models- Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Claudia Schiffer, Tyra Banks, Amber Valletta, Shalom Harlow drove the world crazy with their looks and these iconic prints.
And yes, how can we forget the famous Shania Twain, who sizzled in the leopard rossette velvet bustier and pants with the Magical Leopard Cloak and boots with the round vintage Leopard Luggage Bag- walking around turning every man down, oozing confidence and sexiness. That song has been my anthem song forever.
So you see, the everlasting impact it has on anyone's mind ?? Hell yeah! She became my favourite artist since then.
No matter how you wear the animal prints you are bound to grab attention. But hold on, wear this print with some metal in your being because that leaves a lasting impact.
I am wearing two different outfits – One is a long well cut dress in the Zebra Print and the other is the Co- ord set with the Tiger print. Both look exceptionally desirable in different fabrics.
The dress is a cotton and lycra one and the Co – ord set is made of silk and they look equally enamouring. Animal prints tell a story far louder than you can imagine. So when I dress up in animal prints I never fail to feel the charisma it adds to my persona. And anything less than that – Well "That don't impress me much"!!

For Profits, 10 German Business Etiquette Tips Apply in the U.S.
Hats were once considered the business norm. Formality required that men remove their hats when entering a building or when they were introduced to a lady.
Baby boomers can recall it was a cultural, social-changing event – and quite a shock in 1961 – when President John F. Kennedy appeared hatless at his frigid outdoor inauguration.
Legend has it that President Kennedy reversed the hat-wearing trend of men from professionals to entertainers like Frank Sinatra.
Some years later, business etiquette began to worsen.
Poor business etiquette started during the Viet Nam War. The nation was in turmoil. Everything was questioned. Formality was out among young adults – me included.
For example, when I was fresh out of college I held two jobs. I worked weekends as an on-air broadcaster and full-time as an insurance sales representative giving speeches about insurance to groups of educators and other professionals.
I dressed casually for my radio gig, but the insurance job required business dress.
His humorous approach had me laughing so hard, I nearly fell off my chair. But I got his serious point.
In the early 1990s, came the casual-Friday phenomenon. Business suits and ties were discouraged on the last day of the workweek. It progressed to business casual every day, especially in the digital age after the dot-com bust.
Isn't it preferable to use etiquette and have panache?
Certainly, that's true if you're an ambitious professional and want to accelerate your career to the C-suite in most U.S. markets. If your career is stalled, you should use the proven ways to turbo charge your personal brand.
To use a sports metaphor, it's important to "suit up." It shows you're ready to conduct business. If you're in a traditional work environment, it's important to dress for success.
If you're climbing your career ladder, always dress now for the role you want to attain in five years. In this way, your potential bosses can look into the future and visualize you in a more challenging position.
True, I've had clients who questioned my attire because they personally preferred to dress casually. However, they soon accepted my approach after they enjoyed strong results and saw how serious I was about their business welfare.
They realized I treated my meetings with them as important events and that I performed best when wearing my uniform.
In segueing to current economic developments, and noting the discipline of German businesspeople, their country's success is intriguing.
Another possibility: If the European Union ever disbands, it would mark the end of the euro. Because it's a leading economy, some people joke that the German mark could replace the dollar. But it's possible.
Germany's success starts with its collective business demeanor.
As a result of casual thinking to many people in the U.S., business etiquette tips for Germany aren't applicable. If being casual works for you, fine. But if you're not satisfied in your career, it's time to practice the Principle of Contrary Action – doing everything differently – so you can learn to keep an open mind.
"Order, structure, precision and thoroughness permeate work life here, which is why foreigners in business environments could be forgiven for suspecting their German colleagues have a secret set of rules – and are following them to the letter," she advised.
Again, her tips will work for you in the U.S.
If you want to be taken seriously, professionalism and disciplined etiquette will differentiate you from others. You'll profit from these tips.
