Toronto, Ontario - Day 2 and Departure
Day two of touristing in Toronto dawned bright and early for me. I don't know why, but I seemed to wake up early most days on this vacation. No worries - a writer always has something to fill their time. As this was the last day before returning to Vancouver, and we had such a long, amazing, tiring day yesterday, today was to be at a leisurely pace and not start until noon.
For the first couple hours I answered emails, took care of social media and then spent some time "putting pen to paper." Writing - when it's only purpose is to let my thoughts flow - is particularly enjoyable. Around nine I had reached my limit and it was time to treat myself to a guilty pleasure. It didn't take long for me to get ready and out the door. First stop of the day was Starbucks for a latte and small bite, then it was on to my destination.
Only two block from the condo was The Bay on Bloor Street. Several times a year The Bay offers a great sale on their costume jewellery. I support local artisans as much as possible and own many cherished pieces. But I find what I wear on a daily basis seems to get lost or broken - earrings in particular. It's like socks and laundry - I end up with one of this and one of that. Where does the other earring go? So once a year, I head over to The Bay during their sale and snag a nice collection of interesting but inexpensive pieces to fill the void.
Then it was time to head out with one of my friends for a short jaunt (the other unfortunately had a full day of work). We started with a leisurely stroll to a local restaurant - The Bishop and Belcher - where we enjoyed mimosas and a full English Breakfast - bacon, sausage, potatoes, eggs, beans, grilled tomato and toast. I couldn't finish it all, but it was delicious and the waitress treated us like royalty. After we were filled to the brim, we flagged down a cab to take us to our one planned outing - Evergreen Brick Works.
It's honestly a little hard to describe. If you don't wander and explore, you could easily miss some of the interesting sights here. This quote is from their website -
"A community environmental centre that inspires and equips visitors to live, work and play more sustainably. Open year-round, Evergreen Brick Works is a community environmental centre that inspires and equips visitors to live, work and play more sustainably. Transformed from a collection of deteriorating heritage buildings into a global showcase for green design and urban sustainability, Evergreen Brick Works is both a stage and incubator for Evergreen's programs...In 2010, Evergreen Brick Works was named one of the top 10 geotourism destinations in the world by National Geographic."
The first building we entered held a garden market, followed by a country store and then Cafe Belong at the back. We wandered the store offerings and ended up purchasing some soup mixes, a jar of curry and some chocolate caramel popcorn to take with us. Outside there was a bike shop and then a large open pavilion where two drummers were entertaining visitors. Depending on the time you visit, there is a market with a variety of vendors selling their wares. By the time we arrived this day, the market was just closing down. The Brick Works even offers an ice rink in the winter.
Working our way behind these buildings, we took some time to sit, soak up the sun and enjoy the peaceful setting at a large pond. Trails meander through the surrounding park for those who want to explore. Continuing on we passed a large, interactive children's garden full of things to do. There was a ton of busy, smiling kids there enjoying themselves to the nth!
Then we entered a modern community centre. In a nod to their roots, the lobby showcased an enormous, antique brick press. Through another door was a building housing the historic kilns.This has been left mostly as is and used for storage, art shows and even in one more open space, for wedding receptions and other events. They were setting up a wedding reception that day with giant crystal chandelier, dance floor and white table settings.
It was time to head back to the condo for some downtime as the day before had been so busy, but after an hour I decided to wander down nearby Church Street (also known at The Village) - a final exploration before heading home. Toronto has a thriving LGBTQ community which embraces this neighborhood as their own. With pride celebrations in Toronto just over (June 19-21), the street was still awash in rainbows - from the TD Bank to business decorations to even a cross walk.
There was a mix of old and new architecture, but it was the old buildings converted into restaurants and shops that drew my eye. The area reminded me of Brooklyn. For those I know in Vancouver the feel was a mix of Gastown (in terms of the look) and Commercial Drive (in terms of the feel). I also noticed murals covering some buildings and in feature spots on others. When I passed a sign for an LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario), I decided to pop in and and pick up wine to bring to the evening meal.
The entrance took me into the most amazing Loblaw Grocery I have ever seen. I stood in awe as I took in the sushi counter, the salad counter and more. I should have made a walk through as later that night my friend informed me over supper they have a two-story cheese wall with ladders to access the more expensive offerings located on the top shelf - some under lock and key. I would have loved to have seen that. Back to the condo and up to the 38th floor for a last light meal of gourmet salad and a final chat, then it was down to the room to pack.
Unfortunately departure was a gong show. I worried I didn't set my alarm right and woke up at 6 a.m. I had arranged the taxi for 10 as I thought my plane left at one and the drive would take over 40 minutes. Wrong! The plane left at 1:55 and as it was Sunday morning, the drive only took 20 minutes. The taxi also arrived 20 minutes early - fortunately I was there waiting. So that left me arriving at the gate by 10:10 for a 1:55 departure.
Our plane landed an hour before we needed it, but delays started to get posted. WHY? Well, that plane blew out a tire on landing - word has it was a pretty rough ride - so they had to find us another. This meant a move to another terminal with pilots and counter staff leading the way. It didn't stop there. The flight crew was on a delayed flight arriving at the old terminal. They landed and ran over only to find the delays had put one attendant over her legal allowable hours. A replacement had to be found. Finally, an hour late - and four hours after I arrived at the terminal - our plane took off.
By the time we arrived in Vancouver five hours later I was dead on my feet, but happy to be home. I can't wait to return to Toronto. There is so much more to see and do and a few things I would like to see again on a more leisurely basis. And I definitely need to eat at El Catrin again. Soon..............just need to get those travel dollars in place.

The Lives of the Constitution: Ten Exceptional Minds that Shaped America's Supreme Law
Author: Joseph Tartakovsky
Publisher: Encounter • April 10, 2018 • 320 pages
Learn about ten exceptional minds that shaped America's supreme law in The Lives of the Constitution!
In a fascinating blend of biography and history, Joseph Tartakovsky tells the epic and unexpected story of our Constitution through the eyes of ten extraordinary individuals―some renowned, like Alexander Hamilton and Woodrow Wilson, and some forgotten, like James Wilson and Ida B. Wells-Barnett.
Tartakovsky brings to life their struggles over our supreme law from its origins in revolutionary America to the era of Obama and Trump. Sweeping from settings as diverse as Gold Rush California to the halls of Congress, and crowded with a vivid Dickensian cast, Tartakovsky shows how America's unique constitutional culture grapples with questions like democracy, racial and sexual equality, free speech, economic liberty, and the role of government.
Joining the ranks of other great American storytellers, Tartakovsky chronicles how Daniel Webster sought to avert the Civil War; how Alexis de Tocqueville misunderstood America; how Robert Jackson balanced liberty and order in the battle against Nazism and Communism; and how Antonin Scalia died warning Americans about the ever-growing reach of the Supreme Court.
From the 1787 Philadelphia Convention to the clash over gay marriage, this is a grand tour through two centuries of constitutional history as never told before, and an education in the principles that sustain America in the most astonishing experiment in government ever undertaken.

Dominicans beat United States 3-1
STEVEN WINE
Mar 14, 2013, 11:34 PM EDT
(AP Photo/Wilfredo Lee)
MIAMI (AP) — Horns honked, percussion pulsed and school kids squealed. Miami can make quite a din when the Dominicans win.
The visiting team on the scoreboard, the Dominican Republic made itself at home by beating the United States 3-1 Thursday night to earn a berth in the final round of the World Baseball Classic.
Pinch-hitter Erick Aybar singled home Nelson Cruz with the go-ahead run in the ninth for the Dominicans, who improved to 5-0. The Dominican Republic is assured of a spot in the semifinals beginning Sunday in San Francisco, where two-time defending champion Japan and the Netherlands have already advanced.
The United States must now face Puerto Rico on Friday night, with the winner earning a trip to San Francisco and the loser being eliminated. Ryan Vogelsong will pitch for the Americans against Nelson Figueroa.
Playing the U.S. team for the first time ever in the WBC, the Dominicans drew raucous support all night, especially in a noisy ninth.
"No doubt it's the best atmosphere I ever played in," said Cruz, who has twice reached the World Series. "Thanks to the fans, we had extra motivation you don't have every day."
With the score 1-all, Cruz led off with a double against Craig Kimbrel (0-1), then took third on a groundout. Aybar singled sharply and ran to first with his index finger raised as his teammates poured out of the dugout to greet Cruz crossing the plate.
Aybar's hit came one pitch after a called strike two left him irate.
"An umpire makes a mistake," Aybar said. "What I did was forget about it and make contact."
Until Aybar's hit, the Dominicans were 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position.
Aybar stole second and scored on a two-out single by Jose Reyes.
"They beat our closer," U.S. manager Joe Torre said. "They beat a great one. You tip your hat to them."
Former Miami Marlin Hanley Ramirez silenced jeers from the crowd with a home run in the second inning for the other Dominican run.
Pedro Strop (3-0) pitched a scoreless eighth. Fernando Rodney, the fifth Dominican pitcher, threw a perfect ninth to complete a six-hitter for his fourth save. He has yet to allow a hit in 4 1-3 innings.
With the final out, several teammates joined Rodney in his familiar arrow-shooting ritual. The victory left Dominican manager Tony Pena choking back tears.
"I feel so emotional," he said in the interview room over the clamor of partying Dominicans on a nearby plaza. "Today was the battle of two titans."
The retractable roof was closed, which reinforced the sound of the noisemakers favored by Dominican spectators. Their racket more than matched the cheers of U.S. fans in the crowd of 34,366.
There was plenty of flag-waving, even by the players. During the game someone gave the Americans a U.S. flag to hang in their dugout.
But the U.S. team was without slugger David Wright, scratched shortly before the game because of sore ribs.
Both starting pitchers benefited from umpire Angel Hernandez's large strike zone, and they cooled off two teams that came into the game batting over .300.
R.A. Dickey, the NL Cy Young Award winner last year, gave up one run and struck out four in five innings. Minnesota Twins right-hander Samuel Deduno allowed one run and struck out seven, mostly on curves, in four innings for the Dominican Republic.
Deduno walked Eric Hosmer with the bases loaded to score the lone U.S. run in the opening inning. Deduno then went to 3-0 on Adam Jones but struck him out on a 3-2 breaking pitch to escape the jam.
Deduno also struck out Hosmer looking to end the third, then walked to the dugout shouting with both arms raised. He was just as demonstrative after fanning Jimmy Rollins to end the fourth.
Strop pounded his chest when he kept the score tied by getting three outs in the eighth.
"There's passion on both sides," Torre said. "It's just showed a little different. It's nothing we didn't expect."
Ramirez, traded by the Marlins during their dismal 2012 season, drew boos when he batted in the second. He responded by pulling a knuckler into the beer garden to make the score 1-all.

for the detection of asbestos cement roofs
Asbestos is a highly carcinogenic material present all over our territory threatening our health. It is estimated that, in Catalonia alone, there are 4 million tons of asbestos cement roofs that will have to be completely removed in the coming years.
Having experienced this problem first hand, DetectA is an initiative that was born as a solution to the first major challenge of asbestos eradication: to identify where it is and who is responsible for removing it.
DetectA identifies asbestos cement roofs through a totally innovative model based on the use of neural networks and aerial images.
Detecting the presence of asbestos effectively, efficiently and quickly is possible thanks to technology and allows us to optimize resources to solve this silent threat that affects us all.

WE COLLABORATE WITH:
Mapping in Cubelles
Cubelles, will have its mapping of asbestos cement roofs before the summer.
The town of Garraf has relied on DetectA to identify the roofs with possible presence of asbestos in its territory as a first step towars the definitive removal of this carcinogenic element from its population.
The first big step
As a result of the transposition of different European waste directives, in 2021 the Spanish State will face the approval of a new Waste Law which, apparently from what is stated in its draft, will finally take the first big step towards the eradication of asbestos in our territory.
Farewell to silence
Asbestos is no longer a silent threat.
We have long known about the consequences of asbestos and we have long heard many organizations calling for solutions but, like its fibers, its presence has been invisible to the authorities for decades.
Fortunately, and thanks to the work of several groups, this has been changing for years.

Pratt & Whitney Received a $2 Billion F135 Delivery Contract
By Editorial team	 On Jun 4, 2018
EAST HARTFORD (Connecticut, United States), June 4, 2018, Author: Galina Zdravkova, Photo: Pratt & Whitney (Pratt and WhitneyF135s-on-production-line)
On May 31, 2018 Pratt & Whitney announced that it has received a $2 billion contract from the U.S. Department of Defense to deliver 135 of its F135 turbofan engines for powering the F-35 Lightning II aircrafts. The contract also involves programme management, engineering and production support, spare modules and spare parts and covers all three variants of the F-35s – the Conventional Takeoff and Landing (CTOL), the Carrier Variant (CV) and the Short Takeoff and Vertical Landing (STOVL).
Pratt & Whitney is a division of United Technologies Corp. and a world leader in the design, manufacture and service of aircraft engines and auxiliary power units.
In connection with the newly received contract, the F-35 Program Executive Officer, Vice Admiral Mat Winter, said, "This agreement for the next lot of F135 engines represents a fair deal for the U.S. Government, the international partnership and industry. Affordability is our number one priority, and by working together, we are making steady progress in reducing F-35 propulsion costs."
And the Vice President, Pratt & Whitney, F135 Program, John Wiedemer, added, "Pratt & Whitney and our supply chain remain committed to continual cost reduction for the F135 engine and to providing a superior product at the best value for our U.S. and international customers. Since 2009, we have reduced the production cost of the F135 by more than half and are now pursuing additional affordability initiatives to drive down engine production and sustainment costs even further throughout the F-35's planned lifecycle."
The F135 propulsion system is an afterburning turbofan designed especially for the F-35 Lightning II single-engine strike fighter of Lockheed Martin.

On November 13th, 3,000 people gathered in Kings Theater in Brooklyn, New York for 'The Power of Jewish Unity' concert, featuring Jewish superstars Gad Elbaz, Dudu Fisher and Nissim Black. The night's theme focused on Jewish continuity, emphasizing the strength and survival of the Jewish people. So, what could be more fitting than incorporating into the evening's progam, a wedding between the descendants of Holocaust survivors. A match made by popular Jewish matchmaking site, SawYouAtSinai.com.
Pesach Charni's family fled Vienna when Austria was annexed by The Nazis, whilst his bride Avigail Chazin grew up in Kiev, Ukraine, discovering only at 13 that she was Jewish. Avigail says her first step to pursuing a Jewish life was to find a Jewish partner. She signed up for various Jewish dating sites, and comments ""One of the websites was SawYouatSinai, that for us, became a sell fulfilling prophecy". Shortly after their engagement, they heard that the concert's producers were looking for a couple to get married on stage, and were immediately on board. "Our people had so many tragedies and we shed so many tears, that when we have a joyous occasion you want to share it with everybody, and you want to make it loud and invite as many people as possible," Avigail said.
Thousands of Jews from all backgrounds, were taken by surprise, as the performers cleared to stage to make way for a beautiful white chuppah. Avigail walked down the aisle to meet her Chosson (groom), as world renowned Israeli singer Gad Elbaz sang the popular wedding tune "Boi Kallah." The audience filled with excitement, and was visibly moved by the couple's ceremony. One Holocaust survivor that was watching even shared that this was the first time she had felt truly acknowledged.


And not so very ordinary girl, or name . . .
For the hearts that never played in tune ?
Take away the words that rhyme.
If it did, it never made a sound . . .
Closer to her, than to me.
I loved her name . . .
And the reasons that would make her stay . . .
If I can't have the one I want.
She had been mine for a day!

UPDATE – LAST Conference 2013 is scheduled for Friday 2 August 2013.
LAST Day Melbourne is a one day, low cost, grassroots mini-conference for Lean, Agile, and Systems Thinking practitioners. The day will be structured to allow participation and interaction via workshops and activities, rather than death by projector.
Regular readers will remember my writeup about Agile Tour Sydney. That article had a call to action, regarding doing something along the same lines, here in Melbourne.
When I got back, I was able to enthuse Craig Brown, a fellow co-organiser in the Melbourne Meetup scene and we've been working on the idea for the last couple of months.
Originally, we wanted to do something really rapidly, holding the event in March, or even February. The Agile Tour is held between October and December, and I just couldn't wait that long for Melbourne to have its turn.
Reality stepped in though, as we realised that we probably needed a little time to clear the New Year season and get our ducks in a row. Plan B was some time about now, perhaps just before or after Easter. We needed to have some space between our day and Agile Australia, which is in Melbourne at the end of May.
Eventually, we've settled on 27th July. Swinburne University of Technology in Hawthorn are our hosts, and we had to work in with the availability of the venue. We're also aligning ourselves with the Developer, Developer, Developer day, and also Barcamp Melbourne; both of which will be held directly after our event, and we believe have a similar philosophy.
Craig argued the case that we should be quite broad with our outlook. So after some old fashioned brainstorming, Systems Thinking, as well as Lean and Agile, were included in the name of the day. I had originally earmarked lastevent.com or lastday.com but the domain name registries had other ideas, so LAST Conference it is. I'm billing it as a "mini-conference" though, as I don't want it to be a typical, big bang conference. We really want to borrow heavily from the "for practitioners, by practitioners" ethos of Agile Tour, and also the spirit of things such as Bar Camp, and Trampoline Day.
The emphasis on "Thinking" is no accident either. There is sometimes a tendency to have a focus on "best practice", "techniques", "tool kits", and "cook books"; focusing on the How and less about Why we're doing them.
I'm really excited about how this event can help the agile and lean community.

Please make an appointment to come and visit one of our designers with your room dimensions and your wish-list for the project. As much information is taken to establish your individual requirements for the space in terms of function, aesthetics and budget. Appliances and finishes will be discussed broadly, but no specific decisions need to be made at this point.
During the second meeting in the showroom, your appointed designer will present our proposals for your kitchen with drawings and a guide quotation. This quotation is valid for 14 days.
At this point, if you wish us to proceed further by releasing the drawings, amending the designs or arranging site visits, we will ask you for a small financial commitment in the form of an initial design fee. The design fee will be credited against the total cost of the project should you place an order, but it is non-refundable should you decide not to proceed.
Once the design fee has been received, we will work with you to refine your design during which time we will be happy to discuss in detail the types of finishes you want, the appliances that best suit your kitchen and we will finalise the layouts with you.
Our surveyor will visit your site to verify our expectations of timing and the preparation of the space and services your contractor will need to provide for the kitchen.
Once the design has been finalised we will issue a Contract of Sale with a fixed quotation. The price we quote you includes the price of the furniture, appliances, worktops, shipping, delivery and a first fix dry fit installation.
To confirm an order, a signed Contract of Sale and the specified Deposit payment or Service Drawing Fee will be required. The final detailed service drawings will then be completed and issued to all appropriate parties.
All component parts for the kitchen are placed on order with our suppliers. Delivery of the bulthaup items into our warehouse is approximately 16 weeks from order. There may be seasonal variations.
The actual installation on site is likely to take between 5 and 10 days depending on the size of the project. During installation, our design team attends site as often as necessary to remain in close contact with our fitters and your contractors to answer any queries that you may have.
We normally recommend that your contractor's plumber and electrician attend site during the final days of our installation to connect the appliances to the service.
After installation is completed to your satisfaction, our designer will make a visit to offer help and advice on how to maximise the usage of your new kitchen.
To place an order for a kitchen, you will be asked to sign a Contract of Sale and to pay a deposit, normally 50% of the total value of the project. The remaining balance will be due for payment ten working days prior to the delivery and installation on site, or one month after arrival at our storage facilities, whichever is the earlier. In the event that the kitchen is not required within the next 3- 6 months but the service drawings are required, we may instead require a Service Drawing Fee prior to placing the order, which is normally 10% of the total value of the project.

True service is not simply effort but also obedience: Persis "laboured much", but that labour was also "in [the] Lord" (Rom. 16: 12).
Confession of sins involves self–judgment whereas asking for forgiveness may not.
We are seated in heavenly places in Christ and we need to live lives that reflect that on earth.
Did Boaz learn the grace of God towards 'outsiders' like Ruth, the Moabitess, from his mother Rahab, a Canaanite (see Matt. 1: 5)?
Grace is in "abundance", has "overabounded", and its riches are "surpassing" (Rom. 5: 17, 20; Eph. 2: 7). This "true grace" (1 Pet. 5: 12) cannot be exceeded—there is no such thing as 'hypergrace'.
God's will is always "good ... and perfect". Not only that, but it is also "acceptable" (Rom. 12: 2). May we find it so!
Modern theology exhorts us to lead 'successful' lives. The Christian is a slave, and a slave knows nothing of success, only obedience.
John twice tells us that "No one has seen God at any time" (John 1: 18; 1 John 4: 12). In the first Scripture, he goes on to say that the Son has declared Him; in the second Scripture he goes on to say that if we love one another, God abides in us. Both result in making God known.
It is both inaccurate and inadequate to describe the separation implied in "therefore let us go forth to him without the camp" (Heb. 13: 13; see Exod. 32: 26; 33: 7) as referring to a severance of fellowship with the Judaistic elements of Christendom. The Judaizing error is taken up and dealt with in the Galatian epistle, and is described as nothing less than a false gospel (see Gal. 1: 6). That is serious enough, but the error addressed in Hebrews is on another level still—apostasy, or the wilful turning away from Christ of those who once professed Him Lord. In the type, it answers to Israel saying that "this Moses, the man that has brought us up out of the land of Egypt,—we do not know what is become of him!" (Exod. 32: 1), resulting in Aaron making the golden calf (see v4). This abandoning of the one Jehovah had chosen to be Israel's leader was despite the fact that earlier all had "believed in Jehovah, and in Moses his bondman" (Exod. 14: 31; see 1 Cor. 10: 2). The type finds its fulfilment in the rejection of the Lord Jesus by the Jewish nation—hence "Jesus, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate" (Heb. 13: 12). The choice facing the Jewish believers who had subsequently professed faith in the Lord Jesus Christ was to return to the camp of Judaism where He was rejected, (thereby treading underfoot the Son of God—see Heb. 10: 29), or to "go forth to him without the camp, bearing his reproach" (Heb. 13: 13). Any application of either type or antitype to the situation of today must take account of these simple facts.

Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation Is the Longest-Lasting Foundation I've EVER Worn
Join Allure Beauty BoxFLASH SALE! Sign up today and get over 40% off your first box with code BEAUTYBFF at checkout!JOIN NOW
By Sophia Panych
A medium- to full-coverage liquid foundation that delivers an airbrush-like finish on- and off-camera
Before I was a beauty editor — before I even knew there was such thing as a beauty editor — I was a dancer. Ballet, modern, contemporary, Ukrainian folk dance (yes, it's a real thing, and yes, you can get paid for it): I did it professionally as long as I could until a back injury forced me to hang up my pointe shoes for good. And although it's no longer my career, I've still managed to dance and perform a little on the side while working at Allure. It's a great stress reliever and a much more enjoyable way to work out than running on the treadmill.
So what does all this have to do with Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation? A lot actually. It's the foundation I've worn on stage for years. The love affair started with the brand's OG HD formula, and I gladly switched to Ultra HD when Make Up For Ever fine-tuned the formula after TV, movie, and iPhone cameras upgraded from HD to the even more unforgiving 4K cameras that can literally make babies look like they need concealer.
The reasons Ultra HD is good for performing on stage are the same reasons it's good for when you're in front of the camera or going to a big event where you need your makeup to a) last and b) look good in pictures. It's matte but not so matte that it makes you look like you set your makeup with a layer of chalk, and it's full coverage but practically undetectable on your skin. It blends easily whether you apply it with your fingers, a brush, or a Beautyblender (I usually use a mix of my fingers and a sponge), and here's the most important part (for me at least): This shit stays. It's lasted through two hour-long performances where I've danced seven numbers and sweated my ass off under the hot lights and changed costumes multiple times — all of which puts your makeup in a very precarious position. (I do also set it with a layer or two of powder for extra insurance.) I can (gently) pat my face with a towel and not worry about all of it coming off. And even after everything I subject this poor foundation to, it rarely creases or settles into fine lines.

Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation
Other reasons to love this formula: It comes in 40 shades — yes, you read that correctly: four-zero — and there's a good selection of warm, cool, and neutral tones. I actually own two different shades, one for winter and one for the rest of the year since my skin gets pretty pale between the months of December and April.
Who won't like this foundation? Anyone who prefers the look and feel of tinted moisturizer or who doesn't wear a ton of makeup in general. Although I would argue that because the pigments in this formula were developed to look so natural, it's actually a great option for people who don't like to look like they're wearing foundation — as long as you apply it sparingly with a damp sponge to pick up any excess. That's the technique I like to use when I wear this stuff off the stage. I also don't apply it all over my face when I'm not performing; instead, I primarily keep it focused on my T-zone and the apples of my cheeks.
You don't have to be a dancer or an actress to reap the benefits of this foundation. Case in point: Our readers voted it the best foundation of the year in our 2017 Readers' Choice Awards. "This foundation covers well and dries to a beautiful matte finish whether I use a plush oval brush or a blending sponge. It lasts well through the day and doesn't cause my acne-prone skin to break out," one voter commented. As for me, the formula will always be an important part of my makeup arsenal — pointe shoes or not.

A reminder that our Gelert release is this weekend!
We will be offline from 8 am to 12 pm CST on Saturday, June 16 while we make some exciting updates!
Plus dozens of other updates!
This release was named after Gelert, the brave and loyal hound of Llywelyn the Great, Prince of Gwynedd.
As Llywelyn was preparing for a hunt one day, all of his hounds except for Gelert appeared when called for; the hunting party left without him.
Returning to his castle later that day, Llywelyn discovered his infant son's nursery in a state of disarray with the cradle upturned, Gelert on the scene with a bloody muzzle, and the baby nowhere in sight.
Suspecting the worst of his favorite hound, Llywelyn drew his sword and slay Gelert. Suddenly hearing a cry from under the cradle, Llywelyn turned it over to find both his son and the dead and bloodied body of a wolf.
Instantly recognizing the error he'd made, Llywelyn was overcome with grief and, as legend has it, never smiled again.


Prince of Peace often is a supporter of world relief efforts. Our Key emphasis is providing care to orphaned children with special health needs at the Prince of Peace Children's Home in China, which serves over 100 orphans.

Italy is predicted to win against Austria as per latest Italy vs Austria Football Predictions and Betting Odds
On Monday, 21st June, Austria after defeating Ukraine made a history by making into the last 16 of European Championship. Christoph Baumgartner's first half goal sealed the first ever last 16-spot for Austria. On Saturday they will be up against Italy who have won every game so far in this tournament.
Some 13 years ago, Italy and Austria played a friendly international game which ended 2-2. Prior to that the two team had met at the 1998 World Cup in a group match. Italy won that match by 2-1 goals.
Italy have been incredible throughout the group stages as they scored a total of 7 goals and they haven't conceded a single one as of now. Austria on the other hand made into the playoffs after they defeated Ukraine but prior to this match they lost against Netherlands.
It must be mentioned that Italy is yet to concede a goal since last 10 matches while Roberto Mancini, the Italian coach tied a new national record in the meantime. Italy hasn't lost for 30 consecutive matches under him.
Italy is predicted to win the upcoming clash Austria. The current Italy vs Austria Football Predictions and Betting Odds are updated on 23rd June.
The latest Italy vs Austria Football Predictions and Betting Odds will be updated on game day.
Italy vs Austria Football Predictions and Betting Odds: Predicted Winner
For the upcoming clash between Italy and Austria, Italy starts as favorites. Almost all the football prediction and betting platforms have placed Italy ahead of Austria.
As per the latest odds by Betting Expert, the betting odds for Italy's win stands at 1.54 while the odds for Austria stands at 7.70. Footballpredictions.net on the other hand predicts both the teams to score in the match while Italy finding the nets thrice with Austria only once.
Smarkets predicts the winning probability of Italy to be 64.10% while for Austria beating Italy, the chances stands at mere 35.90%.
Italy vs Austria Football Predictions and Betting Odds: Probable Line Up
Italy – Donnarumma, Chiellini, Bonucci, Bastoni, Emerson, Pessina, Jorginho, Verrati, Beralla, Insigne, Immobile.
Austria – Bachmann, Alaba, Hinteregger, Dragovic, Lainer, Grillitsch, Laimer, Schlager, Gregoritsch, Arnautovic, Sabitizer.
Italy vs Austria Football Predictions and Betting Odds: Defensive and Offensive Stats
Italy did not play with their full attack strength in last match against Wales as both Immobile and Insigne were rested against Wales yet they ended up winning the match 1-0. Now as the round of 16 is here the Italy attack will be on full force.
Immobile scored a goal against Turkey in their opening match and continued the form against Switzerland where he scored the 2nd goal of the tournament for him. His pass accuracy as of now stands at 84.5% so far and his average rating is8.25 so far.
Insigne looked in great form against Turkey as he scored a goal with pass accuracy of 75% and rating of 8.4. Against Switzerland he was rated 6.9 and had lost 5 duels in the match.
Austria has a serious problem ahead of them as Baumgartner is injured and is doubtful of return. This will certainly put an extra pressure on Sabitizer, speaking of whom has also been very good against Ukraine with 84% pass accuracy and a rating of 7.3 which was up from 6.8 against Netherlands. He also looked good against North Macedonia with 92% pass accuracy rate, 0.83 of expected assist ratio and 4 chances created in that match. He got a rating of 8.2.
Italy midfield against Wales was brilliant. The most highlighting was Verrati scoring the one and only goal in the match with 94% pass accuracy which includes 103 accurate passes and was rated 8.9. Jorginho is also their star midfielder with 98% pass accuracy rate against Wales and a rating of 7.7. He had the same rating against Switzerland. He had 90% pass accuracy rate and had won the most number of duels, 7, in that match. His ratings against Turkey was 8.5 with 94% pass accuracy rate and 0.28 of expected assist ratio.
Austria midfield has Schlager who had the most dribbles against Ukraine, 3 and most tackles, 4 during the match. Pass accuracy rate was also pretty good, 81% and rating of 8.3. Against North Macedonia also he was rated 7.2 with 86% pass accuracy rate and 5 duels won.
Laimer in the midfield looked a bit sloppy against both Ukraine and Netherlands drawing ratings of only 6.7 and 6.4. He was solid against North Macedonia where he won 4 duels, chances created 3 and a rating of 7.6. He needs to find the rhythm against a tough opponent like Italy.
Chiellini is expected to return against Austria after the injury due to which he missed out against Wales. Cheillini against Turkey was quite good had 89% pass accuracy rate, had 3 clearances and 1 headed clearances and was rated 7.7 but apart from that he has a long international experience and is also the captain of the team.
He will have the support from Bonucci, who is an experienced and premium player. He was a little out of form against Wales still got 90% pass accuracy rate but his rating in the match was just 6.8 rating.
Austria defense has Alaba who was Man of the Match in both their winnings, that is against North Macedonia and Ukraine. Against Ukraine he had created the most chances which was 5 and had a pass accuracy rate of 73%, his expected assist ratio was 0.46.
Italy vs Austria Euro 2021 Round of 16 Odds and Predictions. Recent form.
Italy sailed through the group stages after winning all the matches and recently against Wales as they received 9 points with 7 goals given and no goal conceded.
Austria started off well by winning against North Macedonia but were defeated by Netherlands. They are coming off a win against Ukraine in last match. They qualified for Last 16 with 6 points and had scored 4 goals and conceded 3 in Group matches.
Italy vs Austria Football Predictions and Betting Odds: Head-to-Head
It would be completely unwise to judge the current form of both the teams by considering the head-to-head record of both the teams. The last time the two teams met was back in 2008 and it has been almost 13 years since the two teams were involved in any one-on-one match across all the tournaments.
However, before the Saturday night match, the two teams have played 35 matches against each other. They have had almost equal number of wins. Italy have won 16 matches while Austria defeated Italy on 11 occasions.
The last match between the two teams was an international friendly which ended in a 2-2 goal draw.

The balance of responsibility for healthcare between society and the family – societal versus family responsibilities
"Responsibility for health: personal, social, and environmental"
The Family is the basic or functional unit of a society. In making healthcare policy society and family plays a great part in implementation. Responsibility starts within each member of the family with the proper guidance of parents. Preventive efforts regarding healthcare issues must be practice by parents. A good example of which is by teaching their children at the very early age the three basic food groups (go, grow and glow) and proper hand washing, in such a way that each child will be guided accordingly regarding the proper diet to prevent illness and diseases. As a child goes to school he/she becomes a member of the society, a good practice of healthcare can be shared between peers. As they grow much older this good practice and views regarding healthcare becomes more profound and evident they becomes more responsible towards health and to the society. In my personal point of view responsibility for health is as basic as food, taking good care of one self is the fundamental responsibility an individual in becoming a better member of a society. The society has the responsibility of providing proper health services to the family and to a certain individual. An example of which is a good access in healthcare insurances, Equality in healthcare services on all facilities in government and private alike. The right for information regarding laws, provisions and policies should be properly disseminated. Access to rural or community health involving different business, healthcare, and transport sectors to address any healthcare issues.
One of the most important obligations of society is ensuring that each and every one has access to health care. This has been the main focus of health care policies all over the world. While this has been the most important, it is also vital that societies promote health in many other ways.
Society plays a great role in making sure that everyone has access to optimal health care and there are a lot of means by which this will be successful. One very common and effective way is by means of education and training. By means of education, people may be able to know more about ways on how to promote health and how to prevent certain diseases. Education is an effective tool to spread out information not just about the social issues but more importantly, about health. Through education, we may be able to enlighten people about the most important health issues that we have now. Some of these issues include sanitation, pollution, food and drug safety and disease prevention. Much attention should be focused on ways on how to promote health besides access to health care. These include environment and public health and health research.
In today's modern age, there are numerous technological advances which affect our daily living. Whether we like to admit it or not, our lives are easier now because of these technological advances. They help us get to places faster and aid us with everyday activities so that we may be able to do them with more ease but as they say, there is always downside to everything. These advances may be the reason why there are several people who are becoming lazier when it comes to doing chores at home or at work. People nowadays tend to depend largely on technology to do simple things which they can do themselves. Simple things like walking when going to nearby places or picking something up from a store.
Lifestyle plays a huge role in some of the most fatal illnesses that exist now. According to Ralph Neas the total expenditures on health care in the United States represented 17 percent of the gross national product in 2010 and are projected to reach 20 percent by the end of this decade. The United States spends 141 percent more on health care than other economically advanced nations; furthermore, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, although smoking has declined steadily there since the 1960s, smoking- related medical expenses are still about US$75.5 billion per year. Obesity, which has been climbing in the past two decades, accounts for about US$75 billion in healthcare costs there each year, moreover, alcoholism and drug addiction in the USA account for annual healthcare costs of about US$22.5 billion and US$12 billion, respectively. Federal government spending on healthcare relating to HIV/AIDS is over US$13 billion per year. This goes to show that health education is important and that people needs to be informed thoroughly on how to improve health and prevent diseases from spreading. It is also sensible to allot sufficient budget on health research and find means on how to prevent and if possible, to completely eradicate such diseases.
The balance of responsibility for healthcare between society and the family – societal versus family responsibilities encompasses different aspects in healthcare. It needs the involvement of all stakeholders. A families views and attitudes towards healthcare has a great impact in a society. A good example is in the Philippines, the Department of social welfare and development (DSWD) together with the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) and some None-Government organization groups Spear headed a program/Scheme Pantawid Pamilyang Pangkabuhayan or( 4Ps). The main purposes of the program is Hunger Mitigation, Prevention of Maternal and infant deaths by giving financial assistance to the families under poverty line with conditionality's.
The conditions:

Education conditionalities.

Children aged 6–14 years old enrolled in elementary and secondary schools and maintain a class attendance rate of at least 85% per month.
Other conditionalities.
Parents should attend Family Development Sessions at least once a month.
Participate in community activities to promote and strengthen the implementation of the program.
The first task is to identify the families who will be eligible and be the beneficiary of the program by doing surveys in the rural areas. First they disseminate the information from national down to local government units, barangays and families. After which they inform and award the families legible for the said program. Together with the Department of Health Philippines and Department of Education they create programs. The DOH launches the Immunization program visiting families house to house and immunizing children 8y/o and below. Each family also receives financial assistance.
According to WHO 1992, healthcare issues regarding the environment addresses all the physical, chemical, and biological factors external to a person, and all the related factors impacting behaviours. It encompasses the assessment and control of those environmental factors that can potentially affect health. It is targeted towards preventing disease and creating health-supportive environments. This definition excludes behaviour not related to environment, as well as behaviour related to the social and cultural environment, and genetics.
While it is sensible to place sole responsibility to an individual to take care of their health, there are several objections to it as well. One argument is that it is unfair to hold someone completely responsible for their own health especially if that person does not have a sound mind or is under the influence of drugs. Another is that it would be exceedingly difficult to implement a system that holds individuals responsible for their own health, since diseases and disabilities result from a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors. Although it is completely rational that an individual must be able to maintain their health, the responsibility should not be placed solely on them. Whichever the case may be, the society must always help promote health and prevent illness. Although access to health care is extremely vital, society should also focus on creating means on how to promote health. They say, prevention is better than cure and it is true in so many ways. Prevention is more cost-effective and is more medically efficacious rather than finding means of treatment. For instance, it is more cost-effective to prevent certain serious illness rather than undergoing surgery or chemotherapy in the long run. The government should be able to provide its people their needs and with regards to health care, this includes monitoring of disease, urban planning and should be able to guarantee food and drug safety.
Family on the other hand, is considered to be the basic unit of a community and is therefore a great factor in an individual's attempt to health promotion and disease prevention. It is through family that a person first learns everything which is why family greatly affects the choices made by an individual. Most often than not, a person confides with a family member in decision making may it be with finances, work related problems and health issues as well. If a person is unable to decide, a family member, usually the elder or the head of the family steps in to make the decision for them.
For instance, in New Zealand, since there are numerous rest homes, it is the obligation of the family or one of the family members to decide what is best for their loved ones who are residing at these rest homes especially if their loved ones cannot decide for themselves or is not able to comprehend some of the information given to them.
Health care access is one of the most important factors to consider in terms of societal issues with regards to health care but it is also with utmost importance that the society is able to promote health through education and research as well. Much importance should be placed not just on health care access but more so on strategies for health promotion especially on environmental and public health and health research. Government action is also vital and should be able to provide the needs of its people especially if it's already out of their control like monitoring of disease and urban planning.
Family is the basic unit of community and is considered to be the basis of one's decision with just about anything. May it be financial or health issues, families play a huge role in an individual's choice.

Want to do something well? You might try asking yourself if you can do it rather than telling yourself that you can.
The popular idea is that self-affirmations enhance people's ability to meet their goals. It seems, however, that when it comes to performing a specific behavior, asking questions is a more promising way of achieving your objectives.


The first thing that visitors to Collingwood notice is the historical atmosphere and older architecture dotted around this suburb. By mixing this style of 19th century buildings and newer developments, Collingwood has achieved a great character that will lend your event a contemporary edge. With a diverse collection of restaurants and bars there is something in this area for every taste and this is reflected in the venues available for functions.
The ideal function to hold in Collingwood is one that is artistic, modern and chic but one that doesn't forget the roots of the area. This is the perfect place for product launches, 18th birthday parties, artistic displays and various other sophisticated events. For those who appreciate creativity in every part of their life there are venues in Collingwood that are filled with aesthetic appeal. The size of your function doesn't matter either. The area has one of the most varied sizes of venues in Melbourne and you will quickly be able to find a location to accommodate every one of your guests comfortably.
As for the venues themselves they actually provide many more options than you would first imagine. Ultimately the style of each space comes down to how much the interior designer wanted to reflect the past of Collingwood. There are ultra-lavish lounges that provide guests with the experience of a 19th century salon, large beer hall bars, luxurious hotel reception rooms with the dark and warm tones of the old-world and various contemporary bistro settings for a more modern affair. No matter where you choose to hold your event in Collingwood you will certainly be impressed by the dedication of the staff, the quality of the cuisine and the level of attention paid to every detail. These Collingwood venues provide this high standard and also provide some of the most competitive prices in the city.


Two weeks ago my dad bought half a dozen Lyle Lovett CDs from a sales rack. For the last few days, my listening library has consisted mostly of Lovett and Johnny Cash. Pondering over the previous episode of George Gently while listening to That's Right (You're Not From Texas) made me think of odd things. What if our heroes were transported abroad (a la Inspector Morse, in two episodes), to investigate crime in the Lone Star State?
Imagine my amusement when I found Gently and Bacchus dropped into a flashy American club with Johnny Cash playing in the background (Will the Circle Be Unbroken and Ring of Fire, to be specific). They're looking into the death of Scott Parker, a visionary who wanted to be "Mr. Newcastle" (wait, I thought this was Durham?). It looks like suicide at first: he threw himself off a bridge onto a pile of trash - but it's soon seen that he was dead before he fell. It's looking like murder.
The story begins at the birthday party of Pete Magath (Anthony Flanagan). Scott Parker gives an awkward, half-insulting, patronizing speech that clearly sets up the antagonism between the two men. Scott was a childhood friend of Pete's. The third friend, Michael Woodruff (Adrian Bower), is one of the organizers of the city-wide garbage collection strikes. I thought, for a while, that the strike would provide another opening for social commentary, but for the most part it's merely a distraction to a small interpersonal affair.
To be the first proper whodunit of the series (episode one introduced a wild card villain, and there was never much doubt who the bad guys were in episode two), it doesn't spend much time introducing alternate solutions. It was obvious that Scott, Michael, and Pete had been in a fight. The details are fuzzy, but it happened. Scott - apparently - stumbled out into the night - and was never seen again. This is questioned a bit, but there aren't really viable alternatives.
The suspect list is quite slim as well. Along with the three men are two wives: Anita Magath (Emma Cunniffe) and Jo Parker (Louise Brealey). Some of Scott's sleazy creditors are harassing Jo, who is obviously Not All There. This problem is taken care of by Bacchus's merry men. He has decided to get in touch with his previously nonexistent Robin Hood side.
Speaking of out-of-character moments, I was not buying the whole drinking sequence. Must all our detective duos bond through long, rather embarrassing drinking games? Bacchus, yes. But Gently, a WWII vet with a sense of professional dignity...I just can't see it. And I tend to think he would be rather chagrined, or at least somewhat tiffed (what a British sentence this is turning out to be), when Rachel walks in on this.
In general, the characterizations in this story just feel a bit off. Perhaps this could be because it's the first episode of the series not to be written entirely by Peter Flannery. For some reason, I did not find it engaging.
One thing that was right: Taylor. It's always good to see more (if not necessarily hear more) of Taylor.
Not the most satisfying of episodes. Very little happens, really. Some nasty people are nasty and stay nasty and will continue to be nasty in the future. Bacchus asks George about his MS again, and again gets blown off. Gemma is still around (here I was thinking she'd be gone after the last episode). Capitalists are evil, but pretty much everybody else is too, except for poor gambling Jo.
Given the lengths to which George went to crack last week's case, I find it hard to believe he'd be so sanguine about this conclusion. I'm not, as a rule, against an ending like this, but when there is so little resistance (c'mon, George, you can break those two guys' stories), it feels like a letdown. Corruption! Justice averted! Oh well. 'Nother day at the office.
Actually I agree with every word you write. I've come to George Gently rather late. I've really enjoyed it until tonight. Ig was off. But I adore George Gently so much I watched it all. I liked it when Rachel said "you scare me sometimes" to Bacchus.
