Extreme cold and blasts of Arctic air are expected to continue across the province until the end of this week, with more snow on the way before temperatures gradually get warmer next week, according to Environment Canada.
Alyssa Charbonneau, a meteorologist with Environment Canada, says frigid temperatures with cold outflow winds from the northeast could bring wind chill values down to –20 C again on Tuesday night.
"It will be a cold, clear night," she said. "After tomorrow, we are seeing a slight warming, but temperatures are expected to remain below freezing and below our seasonal normals."
An extreme cold and Artic outflow warning is in effect for the South Coast as well as northern and central B.C., she said, with snow expected to return starting Wednesday evening.
There are no warnings for the Okanagan or Vancouver Island, she said, where temperatures are still well below the seasonal average.
"We are looking at potentially five to 15 cm [of snow] across Vancouver Island, maybe some places seeing higher amounts of snow linger through Thursday," Charbonneau told CBC News.
By Sunday, she said another storm is expected to move in, bringing more snow and possibly freezing rain to Central B.C. and Metro Vancouver on Sunday night and Monday morning.
Environment Canada noted that frostbite and hypothermia can occur within minutes if adequate precautions are not taken when outdoors.

Pedestrian routes not cleared
Vancouver Councillor Sarah Kirby-Yung said she was disappointed to see that some pedestrian routes were not prioritized when the snow started to fall last week.
Kirby-Yung brought forward a motion to council in February 2021 to improve the city's snow response, after noticing that the city was clearing priority arterial routes for cars and bikes, but not pedestrians.
In Vancouver, property owners and occupants are responsible for clearing snow and ice from sidewalks in front of their property, but pedestrian routes surrounding parks and other public spaces are the city's responsibility.
Kirby-Yung said this week's snowfall was the first significant event since the city's updated policy came into effect and it would show if pedestrian routes were prioritized.
"It was really disappointing because there was a clear gap and that's why I brought the motion forward," she said. "The policy was updated, there was training that was done for staff, but in the execution, it just didn't happen."
She said steps were taken to treat the missed sections of sidewalk, and helped those responding to her posts get in touch with the city to ensure the complaints were addressed.
N.B.'s plan to get more hospital patients into long-term care long overdue, say operators
Special care home operators say a plan by the province to move hospital patients into long-term care facilities faster is a welcome move, but long overdue. The government announced recently that it would work with long-term care homes to create emergency care beds for hospital patients currently waiting to be placed in a home. The province says it's part of efforts to alleviate pressure on the health-care system at a time when New Brunswick is seeing a record level of hospitalizations due to COV
Forcible confinement, robbery at gunpoint: details of charges emerge after police standoff in Yellowknife
One of the two men involved in a police standoff in Yellowknife in early January is facing charges for confining victims and robbing one at gunpoint, according to court documents. Those documents allege Salman Noor, 21, threatened three victims with a handgun, held two of them against their will and stole one victim's cell phone at gunpoint. None of the charges have been proven in court. Noor is also facing charges for breaking his bail conditions by possessing a firearm. The other man facing ch
Kenney relieves justice minister of duties, orders investigation into police call
EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Jason Kenney has relieved Justice Minister Kaycee Madu of his duties after it came to light that Madu called Edmonton's police chief about a traffic ticket. Kenney says while all parties agree Madu never asked Chief Dale McFee to cancel the ticket last March, there's a bigger issue at play. "It's essential the independent administration of justice is maintained," Kenney said in an announcement on Twitter late Monday. "That's why I will appoint a respected independent i

Alberta restaurant that accepted dog photos instead of QR codes closed to dining
A restaurant in central Alberta was ordered closed to indoor dining last week after an Alberta Health Services investigation found it accepting dog photos in lieu of vaccination proof. The order was issued to The Granary in Red Deer on Jan. 14. Following complaints to an AHS executive officer, two test shoppers were sent to the restaurant on Jan. 11 at different times. Both were able to enter and dine after presenting a photograph of a dog and personal identification to staff, according to the o
UK PM's former adviser says Johnson knew about lockdown party
A former senior adviser to Britain's Boris Johnson said on Monday he was willing to "swear under oath" that the prime minister knew a party was being held at his residence during a COVID-19 lockdown, accusing him of lying to parliament. British media have reported that at least 11 gatherings took place at 10 Downing Street - the prime minister's official residence and office - or in other government departments between May 2020 and April 2021, when COVID-19 rules limited how many people could meet socially. Dominic Cummings, an architect of Britain's departure from the European Union and a former senior adviser to Johnson who left government under acrimonious terms in November 2020, said on Twitter that the prime minister had agreed that the drinks party should go ahead.
Military dealing with more than 10,000 unfilled positions amid growing pressures
OTTAWA — New figures show the Canadian Armed Forces are struggling with a growing shortage of personnel even as the military faces more and more demands at home and abroad. While the military is supposed to have just over 100,000 troops at full strength, new Defence Department figures show it was short about 12,000 regular force troops and reservists at the end of November. The shortfall is worse than at the end of 2020, when military was short about 7,000 troops as the onset of the pandemic for
City of Edmonton won't compensate restaurant owners after police damaged building
The owners of a downtown Edmonton restaurant say the City of Edmonton has not compensated them for nearly $3,000 in damages police caused during an arrest outside the restaurant this summer. Kelsey Danyluk, who owns Tzin Wine and Tapas with her husband Glenn Quinn, said she received a phone call from the restaurant's alarm company around midnight on Aug. 10. When she arrived on 104th Street at about 1 a.m., she found broken glass and damaged tiles. The restaurant's facade and outdoor speaker sys
WASHINGTON (AP) — During his first year in office, President Joe Biden took action on a number of his key campaign promises, from rebuilding U.S. alliances globally to distributing vaccines across America and the world. But others remain works in progress or dependent on Congress to address. That's particular true of his promises to reform the nation's immigration system, where Biden is caught between the demands of his Democratic base and Latino voters and the realities of a steep influx of mig
Tories urged to reconsider compromise on documents about fired scientists
OTTAWA — Government House leader Mark Holland is urging the Conservatives to reconsider their rejection of a compromise proposal that would allow MPs to finally see unredacted documents related to the firing of two scientists at Canada's highest-security laboratory. In a letter Tuesday to his Conservative counterpart, Gerard Deltell, Holland reiterates his proposal to allow a special all-party, security-cleared committee to review all the documents, aided by three former senior judges who would
Theft, fraud charges laid in connection with financial irregularities at Mobile Crisis Services: Regina police
Police have laid charges against a woman after investigating financial irregularities at a Regina non-profit. The Regina Police Service (RPS) did not provided specifics of the crime, but the non-profit allegedly victimized, Mobile Crisis Services, said it was related to the payroll system. Mobile Crisis Services provides social and health crisis interventions in Regina. That includes performing child welfare investigations and being responsible for the province's help lines for farm stress and p
Quebec, Ontario officials express cautious COVID optimism, others brace for the worst
Officials in Quebec and Ontario expressed hope on Monday that the peak of the current wave of COVID-19 hospitalizations could soon be behind them, while other provinces braced for new hardships. Ontario Premier Doug Ford told Ottawa radio station CFRA that his government may announce a plan to reduce COVID-19 restrictions in the coming days, even as the province set a new daily record for hospitalizations. "There's no one that dislikes these lockdowns more than I do. I actually despise them," th


Rose's research focuses on the impact that federal social policies have on equality in the United States. Her current projects analyze the development of landmark U.S. higher education policies – such as the National Defense Education Act of 1958, the Higher Education Act of 1965, and Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments – and the impact that they have had on the gender dynamics of American citizenship in terms of socioeconomic and political inclusion. Rose is an alumna of Barack Obama's 2006 Yes We Can Campaign and Political Training Program; and, prior to entering academia, she worked in Georgia and Minnesota politics.

"Title IX Has Fought Gender Discrimination on Campuses for 40 Years," Deondra Rose, The Progressive, September 12, 2012.
Citizens by Degree: Higher Education Policy and the Changing Gender Dynamics of American Citizenship (Oxford University Press, 2018).
Makes the case that women's movement toward first class citizenship has been shaped not only by important societal changes, but also by the actions of lawmakers who used a combination of redistributive and regulatory higher education policies to enhance women's incorporation into their roles as American citizens.
"The Development of U.S. Higher Education Policy and Its Impact on the Gender Dynamics of American Citizenship," PhD dissertation, Cornell University, 2012.
Examines how federal higher education policy, as a component of the American welfare state, has influenced the gender dynamics of citizenship since the mid-twentieth century. Finds that by providing crucial resources and experiences, higher education policies have contributed to women's promotion to first-class citizenship, have revolutionized the way in which the state interacts with women, and have promoted gender equality in terms of social and political citizenship.
"Opening Doors for Women: How Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments Promoted Gender Equality in American Higher Education," Annual Meeting of the Midwestern Political Science Association, March 31, 2013.
Examines lawmakers' unprecedented use of regulatory policy to expand women's access to higher education in 1972. Finds that the feedback effects of contemporaneous anti-discrimination policies shaped this effective approach to combating gender discrimination; underscores the centrality of politics to dramatic policy change; and demonstrates the value of federal regulation for promoting gender equality in American institutions.
"U.S. Higher Education Policy and the Expansion of Educational Opportunity for Black Women," Annual Meeting of the Western Political Science Association, February 28, 2013.
Examines the rate at which black women have used landmark federal higher education policies – particularly Pell Grants and federal student loans – and the impact that these programs have had on their college completion rates. Argues that federal higher education programs represent a particularly valuable source of support for black women, especially younger black women. Analysis demonstrates that the use of Pell Grants and federal student loans promotes greater educational attainment for black women, and that, of all female beneficiaries of federal student aid programs, black women are particularly likely to perceive these policies as having significantly expanded their educational opportunity.
"The Tank in the Living Room: An Answer to the Puzzle of Women's Underrepresentation in American Government," (with Elizabeth Sanders), Annual Meeting of the Midwestern Political Science Association, March 31, 2010.
Argues that the best explanation for the low representation of women in Congress – far below the average of other advanced democracies – may be pervasive militarization. During times of war, the growth of women's election stagnates, as female candidates are perceived as less fit for office. With fewer women in Congress, the challenge to war policy and competing demands for domestic social policy are weaker, creating a vicious cycle.
"Unsustainability of Equal Opportunity: The Development of the Higher Education Act, 1965-2008," (with Suzanne Mettler), Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association, August 31, 2009.
Examines the politics of the Higher Education Act's original enactment and subsequent reauthorizations in order to explain why it has been subject to fragmented sustainability. Findings highlight the dynamic interaction between political change, policy design, and policy feedback effects.

Here are 4 fascinating tea traditions from around the world:
Russian Samovar & Zavarka
In Russia, tea was once a treat only enjoyed by the upper class, but that has since changed. Russian tea concentrate, known as zavarka, is served in a very stylish way—via samovars. A samovar is like an extravagant pot that holds boiling water. After allowing the tea concentrate to steep for about 10 minutes, the host pours it into cups for her guests. Afterward, the samovar is used to add boiling water to each cup.

English Afternoon Tea
Experiencing an English afternoon tea is to experience a light, delectable meal. This tradition involves pairing black teas with food such as finger sandwiches, scones, and marmalade. This isn't something everyone in England does on a daily basis—it's more akin to brunch, an occasional way to make afternoon meals more fun. If you want to do enjoy a proper afternoon tea at home until traveling becomes a bit safer, you can easily find an eclectic variety of black teas in which to indulge.

Japanese Matcha Ceremony
In America and many other places around the world, people often consume tea at home while they're working, relaxing, or even having a meal. In Japan, however, a green tea known as matcha is consumed in a very specific environment. The term "matcha" refers to how the tea is prepared—that is, in a powder form instead of in tea bag or loose-leaf form. You can purchase and consume matcha tea at home, but the proper way of taking part in the ceremony is having it served to you and a small group in one of Japan's famous teahouses.

Thanks to China's diverse climates, one can prepare a vast variety of teas using the gongfu ceremony.

Saudis spurn US offers for military aid
By T. Elaine Carey Special to The Christian Science Monitor
Despite last week's attacks by Iran on Saudi oil tankers, Saudi Arabia is keeping at arms' length from American offers for military assistance. The reason for doubts about US aid is that Saudi Arabia is disillusioned, humiliated, and uncomfortable with the United States as its main supplier, say diplomats and arms salesmen here.
On Tuesday, King Fahd approved a $1 billion air defense system for the desert kingdom and other measures to mobilize against foreign attacks, according to the Saudi Press Agency. He did not specify to what degree American companies will be called upon to help put the system together in the coming year.
Offers of more short-term help came in a letter Monday to King Fahd from President Reagan. The President repeated that the United States is ready to send military forces to protect the Gulf if requested by Gulf nations. So far no country in the region appears to have taken up the offer.
The Saudi foreign minister, Prince Saud al-Faisal, said in an interview here that while his nation and the US Congress may share the goal of protecting the Gulf, the way the Congress actually goes about doing it is unacceptable.
''For the Gulf, the basic issue is to make the Gulf countries able to protect themselves,'' Prince Saud said. ''Nobody wants marines from anywhere to come and fight their battles for them. But everyone expects that if there is a friendly country that it would (agree to help) if it is weapons that are required.
Any Saudi wariness of US help hasn't happened overnight nor is it just because the US withdrew its Marines from Lebanon, say diplomats here. They add that the five other members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) - Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman - are also intent on diversifying their weaponry for much the same reason. The GCC is planning to upgrade it common defense pact this week, according to the Kuwaiti foreign minister.
Even American-educated Saudis familiar with the workings of Congress find it hard to accept the debate and scrutiny that goes with any proposal to sell arms to Saudi Arabia. The Saudi government has properly documented its defense requirements, these Saudis believe, adding that the recent Iranian attacks on Saudi tankers and Israeli overflights of Saudi air space strengthen the government's case. They say bitterly that Congress votes according to the wishes of the Israeli lobby.
Such views have only been hardened by the Reagan administration's recent withdrawal of a proposal to sell the Saudis 1,400 Stinger antiaircraft missiles. Diplomats say the Saudis don't understand how the Americans can say one minute that the kingdom is a stable and moderate ally and the next minute refuse to sell it such missiles because they might fall into the hands of terrorists.
''They (the French) send their defense minister here to ask them to buy their weapons,'' said an American arms dealer. ''But they (the Saudis) look at the United States and say, 'We have to beg to buy yours,' and that just galls them.''
A Western diplomat added: ''The French are quite frank about their sales. They say they do it for the money. But one reason they are getting in the door is because their entire Middle East policy is seen by the Arabs as being fair.''
The French account for about half of the Gulf defense market, according to the Arab Press Service in Beirut. It estimates that French sales to the Gulf and Iraq will amount to about $9.5 billion in 1983-84. In January, the French won a contract from the Saudis for air defense missiles worth $4.5 billion.
It is not just irritation with US policy that has given the French such a boon, diplomats and Saudis say. When Iraq went to war with Iran in September 1980, it was largely dependent on the Soviet Union.
The Soviets were not forthcoming with spare parts and more weapons, which hurt Iraq. The Iraqis turned to the French. The Gulf Arabs clearly recognized the disadvantage of having one supplier, diplomats say.
Another drawback for American weapons merchants has been a Carter administration policy that has continued under President Reagan. President Carter banned the export of the latest in fighter plane technology, even to friendly countries in areas where Washington did not want to increase the supply of fire power.
General Dynamics and Northrop developed fighter planes modeled on the F-16, but put less advanced electronics and engines on them. But the Gulf states haven't bought them, dealers say.
The Saudis do have four American AWACS radar-surveillance planes on loan, but the US has restricted where they can fly them. The Saudis are scheduled to take delivery on five AWACS in 1985.

Self-Publishing SECRETS - Get your book published and start earning money!
- And RAKE IN a Fantastic 30% MINIMUM Royalty Rate - WITHOUT Your Book Being Cut to SHREDS By An Editor!!"
Getting into print is every writer's dream. But the unfortunate truth is that getting published is TOUGH.
The publishing houses are slow and cumbersome. They use cheap editors only interested in ripping your manuscript to shreds (because they know best!). And the publisher ALWAYS take the lion's share of profits – you end up with a measly few percent, AT BEST!
But MOST IMPORTANTLY – publishing houses do NOT spot best-sellers!
There are literally hundreds of amazing manuscripts that go ignored each and every month (think Harry Potter!). And ALL because the person opening the mail didn't have the sense to REALIZE the genius behind your work.
- And How To Copy Their TRICKS & Earn THOUSANDS!
PLUS: SECRET PITFALLS You Absolutely MUST KNOW!
In today's fast-paced publishing world, many writers are DITCHING regular publishing houses for the SELF-PUBLISHING route.
With self-publishing, YOU commission a company to publish your books, typically "on-demand." No more desperate searches for an agent. No more sending out manuscripts. No more rejection slips.
Not only that, you get COMPLETE control over your book - and can wave goodbye to editors attacking your manuscript.
Best of all, you get to keep as much as 100% of the publishing profits!
Take Vicki Lansky for example.
She was rejected by over 40 publishers before she self-published "Feed Me I'm Yours". The book has since sold over 2 million copies!
Or how about James Redfield, the man behind "The Celestine Prophecy". He self-published the book - and later sold the rights to Warner Books for over $800,000. And it's since been made into a movie!
Or consider H. Jackson Brown who self-published "Life's Little Instruction Book", which stayed at the top of the New York Times best-seller list for MONTHS – and sold over 5 million copies!
And there are THOUSANDS of other self-publishing success stories – including John Grisham, Deepak Chopra, Mark Twain, Richard Nixon and Beatrix Potter!
... BUT there are BIG PITFALLS you need to BEWARE of!
For example, do you know the THREE THINGS you absolutely MUST check for in your printing contract?
Get this WRONG and you might as well THROW AWAY your manuscript RIGHT NOW!
Also, do you know the RIGHT COMPANIES to use when self-publishing?
Some self-publishing companies have NO respect in the industry – use them, and and book reviewers WON'T EVEN TOUCH YOUR BOOK. Others have CLOSE links with ALL the online bookstores and will ship your book anywhere in the country within 24 hours.
WHICH companies offer the best rates?
And WHICH are simply there to CASH IN on your naivety?

A.P Bio — You wish you had Jack Griffin as a teacher
Alright everyone, start shutting up now. We're here to talk about Peacock's (NBC Universal's streaming service) hidden gem, A.P. Bio. For all you Always Sunny fans out there, this should be your next binge. Glenn Howerton and creator Mike O'Brien just aired their 3rd season after surviving a cancellation from NBC. (Thank god for streaming)
Dr Jack Griffin (Howerton) is a disgraced Harvard Philosophy professor who after losing his job to rival Professor, Miles Leonard, moves back home to Toledo to teach AP Biology at Whitlock High. Rather than succumbing to his new status in life, he pledges never to teach these kids and uses them as pawns to plot his revenge on Miles.
Over the course of season 1, we see a number of schemes run their course only to leave Jack more desparate than we found him. Although he doesn't realize it at the time, he ends up growing fond of his students and teaching them valuable life lessons along the way.
Jack is incredibly gifted with a chalkboard
Though Glenn Howerton does shine as the series' lead, the supporting cast of students and administrators round out the cast and truly elevate the show in a way I hadn't expected. Patton Oswalt as pushover Principal Durbin always flanked by Paula Pell as secretary Helen provides some unexpeded hilarious moments. It should be noted that Helen is one of the biggest suprises on the show. A recurring role in the first season blossomed into full on co-star role as audiences loved her. True wild card status.
As for the students, everyone should be able to match one of Jack's pupils to a similar classmate they had in high school:
Sarika Sarkar is our class president and resident know it all.
Anthony Lewis is the sarcastic, but lovable Theatre kid.
Victor Kolowski is our resident loser but is always up for a good time
Heather Wilmore seems to be the shy girl at first, but over the course of three seasons has cemented herself as Dr. Jacks favorite student for reasons that you must watch to understand.
Dan Decker joins the class as punishment for being the class bully but soon realizes that things happen for a reason and finds he has a secret crush on a classmate. (Spoilers)
This band of misfits grows on Dr Jack who reluctantly decides to stay in Toledo to make the most of his current situation and helps him write his new book in season two. Season three is more of the same but they've played around with the episode structure to keep things fresh. For example, in Gary Meets Dave, the entire episode airs a series of flashbacks on one day in school when an envelope of fundraising cash gets misplaced.
If you can't find anything else to watch these days, I highly suggest downloading Peacock (it's free) and watching this hidden gem.

The no-smell gradual tan wonder from Dove | Is This Mutton?
It's summer, girls, and time to get our legs out. Fortunately the world of faux tan has moved on a bit since my first encounter in the 1970s, when a friend of mine showed me her fake tan. Reader, she was as orange as an Oompa Loompa.
Fake tan products first started appearing in the 60s when Coppertone launched the first products after German scientists discovered that the ingredient DHA could turn skins brown. Although package holidays started taking off in the 60s, it wasn't until the 70s that tanning became an obsession.
At my school it was traditional after the holidays to hold out your arm for tan comparisons. In those days we didn't know much about the dangers of the sun. Children would frolic on the beach all day virtually unprotected. Adverts showed people who were very bronzed. I would spend all day on Plymouth Hoe wearing nothing more than a bikini and baby oil.
During the 80s and 90s, sunbed salons popped up everywhere including gyms, and this was the easiest way to get a natural looking tan. In 2010, Nicola Roberts from Girls Aloud was one of the campaigners who brought an end to the under-18s using sunbeds.
Fake tan then became very popular. At last, here was a way to get the glow without any danger.
But fake tans also have their drawbacks. The dreadful biscuity smell, a by-product of DHA, which seems worse to some people than others.
The danger of streaks, because often you're applying a white product and can't see where it's going.
Unevenness, because areas like your ankles and knees are drier and "grab" the product.
The risk of staining towels, clothes and bedding.
Gradual tans came out fairly recently and come in various forms: drops that you add to a moisturiser, in-shower products and body lotions that give you a gradual tan.
I was given the opportunity to try Dove's DermaSpa body lotion with self-tanners and Visible Glow products. Meeting other bloggers at a wonderful Dove #SummerRevived event, we were all excited about the products and happily using them. It's fair to say Dove have rewritten the rules on fake tanning.
The DermaSpa range is Dove's premium brand but nonetheless very affordable. Owned by Unilever, Dove have the resources to develop world beating products and bring them to the market at reasonable prices. The Summer Revived body lotion with self-tanners comes in two variants, one for fair to medium skin and the other for medium to dark skin.
You can use them on the face, which I have been doing; because these products contain a patented ingredient called "Cell Moisturisers" they don't dry out your skin and help to give a smooth, even application of colour.
I've been using the medium to dark version on my legs and arms, which go brown very easily in summer, and the fair to medium on my face, which I try not to expose to the sun.
The Visible Glow product is less moisturising and probably better for younger skins.
Dove's products have no smell!
The most noticeable thing about the DermaSpa products is the absence of that familiar biscuity smell. Dove told us they spent a long time working with different fragrances to find a way of achieving balance, and effectively drowning out the smell. I find this amazing because I have used many gradual fake tans, including the expensive ones, and they all have the smell, even when they claim not to.
As we like to layer up products, if you apply your gradual tanner before bedtime, you can apply your usual products as normal the next day, including SPFs.
I'm very happy to know I can get my glow on before my first wedding of the summer, very soon. The UK weather has been suspiciously good for the last few weeks but has just taken a turn for the worse, so who knows when we'll see Mr Blue Sky again?
Disclosure: I was gifted with the products by Dove in return for a fair and unbiased review. They also hosted me at a spa break in Bath at the wonderful Gainsborough hotel and spa.
Sharing this post with: Anything Goes at My Random Musings, Wordless Wednesdays at Claire Justine, Saturday Share at Not Dressed as Lamb, FakeitUntilYouMakeIt at Fake Fabulous and Continental Drift at Mutton Style.
Thank you. The smell was the reason I couldn't use it any longer as I have terrible sensitivity to scents and can get quite ill. But I'll check this product out.
Do come back and let us know if the product works for you Doris! A blogger I know who has sensitive skin has been using it without any problems - fingers crossed for you.
Dove has really set the bar high with their women's products. I was just debating whether to try to get a bit of sun on my legs this afternoon for an upcoming wedding. Will give this gradual tan product a go rather than risk more sun damage on my poor sun-spotted legs.
I always enjoy the posts where you give a bit of background or history on something. Here is the U.S., gals my age were sunbathing with baby oil in the '70s. Was it that way in Great Britain?
Yes it was - I remember wearing baby oil myself! If I could give any advice to a teenage girl it would be to wear a hat and a good SPF!
I'm a fake tan user. I tend to use the drops that you add to your own products. I saw you had a fab time a the spa and your meet up. I shall listen to your playlist and even follow you. Im a non pay subscriber so can't publish my playlists.
Let me know what you think of the playlist - it's a real mixed bag. A lot of the songs remind me of summer when I was a teen - the Radio One road show coming to Plymouth and the fun fair!
I've used the Dove Summer Revived cream on my legs for several years now, as it gives me the right amount of colour to go without tights the minute the weather is warm enough to do so. It is a very good moisturiser as well, which I need , as the skin on my legs can get very dry.
Definitely something to ponder trying, especially during the winter months when we are about to go on a summer action. In the summer, I am out in the sun a lot so I really stock up on sunscreen for myself and the kiddos. Thanks for linking up with Continental Drift.


It's called Angel City's Most Wanted, and it won't cost you a cent.
Respawn Entertainment has announced that the first Titanfall 2 DLC package, Angel City's Most Wanted, will be out on November 30. It will include a new map, a new weapon, Titan customization kits, a new pilot execution move, and more. It will also coincide with the launch of the Titanfall 2 in-game store, although the studio reiterated that it will only offer cosmetic items, and everything in the DLC bundle will be free for all players.
"Currently, our launch communication has been focused on addressing bug and balancing feedback, promoting Titanfall 2, and amplifying the incredible critical and fan reactions. We've heard your concerns loud and clear about the longevity of Titanfall 2 and what's next for future content. Today we are starting that conversation," the announcement says.
"First let's look at the big picture and make a crucial point about our DLC vision crystal clear: All maps, modes, weapons—anything that has effect on gameplay—will be free for all players that bought Titanfall 2. We believe that in order to maintain a healthy community we shouldn't be segmenting players behind paywalls for these things."
The in-game store will enable players to purchase skins, camos, and Prime Titans for "a modest price," but Respawn emphasized that it will go no further than that. "We will have no in-game currency exchange. No locked loot boxes, crafting shards or pay-to-win weaponry. No RNG. If you see something you like, you buy it and that's it. These in no way effect stats and are purely cosmetic," the announcement says. "We will have two Prime Titans available at launch. They have new chassis and assassinations but function the exact same way as their original counterparts."
Beyond this DLC release, Respawn promised more updates and events including double XP weekends, social media giveaways, and "game mode twists" that will encourage (or force) players to come at the game in new and different ways. "We've got more that we're working through but isn't ready for prime time just yet," it said. "What I hope you'll take away from this as that this is just the start. We are committed to supporting Titanfall 2 for the long haul and look forward to taking this journey with you."
If you haven't yet sampled the pleasures of Titanfall 2, now would be a good time to strap yourself in: It's currently on sale on Origin for $40, with an additional 20 percent discount when you use the code TITAN20 at checkout. I have no idea how long that code will be valid, so apologies if it doesn't work for you, but definitely give it a try before you check out. Get the details on that and other Black Friday deals in our rounds up of game and hardware sales.
Update: The post originally credited the announcement to Titanfall 2 publisher Electronic Arts.


Directives: This is, no doubt, the most popular and powerful feature of AngularJS directives as also indicated by the count of discussion threads posted on StackOverflow as of today.
Re-usability: Once created a directive as part of a module, all that one needs to do to use the directive is including the module as a dependency when defining a new module and define the directives wherever required on the page.
Usability: Owing to the fact that one could give intuitive names to directives, directive enhances the readability and understanding ability of code by a notch.
Greater adherence to the DRY principle: The aspect of tempting makes directive a very attractive feature. It does reduce the duplication of code as same HTML template code could be used at several places without the need to write the code in HTML file.
Scope Object: This is the second most popular topic found based on the discussion count. Rightfully expected as well! The whole notion of Scope object and how it is key to dependency injection makes it one of the most powerful as well as a tricky concept of AngularJS.
Ng-repeat: The ng-repeat feature brings power to AngularJS from the fact that it is one of the features that removed the need of server-side code required to repeat the HTML code over multiple iterations. With ng-repeat, one could easily repeat HTML code multiple times.
Angular UI & Bootstrap: One of the shortcomings of AngularJS for good or bad is its inability to be one and all solution to create some great UI along with powerful eventing feature. For creating fancy or great looking UI, one would still have to go to UI frameworks such as bootstrap, Kendo-UI etc.
Routing: Routing feature is key to creating single page application. One of key reason why AngularJS is very popular is the ease with which one could create a single-page application using it. And, routing feature makes it all happen. No doubt, this is why many developers have been looking for it.
Service: Service feature helps one to create reusable components in an Angular module. These services could then be injected in another module using dependency injection feature.
Please feel free to comment/suggest if we missed mentioning one or more important points.

Are You a Victim of Domestic Violence in the State of New Jersey?
On Behalf of Musulin Law Firm, LLC | Feb 6, 2015 | Domestic Violence
If you are a victim of domestic violence, the law which protects people from domestic violence in the State of New Jersey is known as the "Prevention of Domestic Violence Act." Whether or not a person is protected under the Act depends on whether he or she (1) qualifies as a "victim", (2) has suffered at least one of fourteen acts of domestic violence, and (3) has an ongoing need for protection.
The Prevention of Domestic Violence Act is very specific about who may be afforded protection. A person seeking protection from domestic violence must qualify as a victim falling into one of the following categories: spouses, former spouses, those who in dating relationships, those who are having a child or anticipate having a child, and current or former household members.
The "household member" category is not specifically defined by the Act, but New Jersey law provides that household member categories are provided to protect those who live in a family-like setting in which there is a continued contact and opportunity for ongoing abusive and controlling behavior. Many of us may automatically think of aggressors or victims involved in romantic relationships, but the category of household members is far more expansive and allows others to seek protection under the Act. For example, New Jersey law provides that household members who have suffered acts of domestic violence need not be related, in a romantic relationship, or of the opposite sex. The law has been also been invoked in certain situations to protect even neighbors and college roommates.
If you are suffering acts of domestic violence such as physical abuse, harassment, bullying, and if you feel like you are being subjected to abusive and/or controlling behavior, you may be eligible to invoke the protection of Prevention of Domestic Violence Act and put a stop to the abuse. You do not have to continue to put up with it.
An attorney who is experienced in New Jersey Family Law will be able to greatly assist you in this process and ensure that you get the protection that you deserve. On the other hand, if you feel as though you have been falsely accused of domestic violence, it is very important to seek legal counsel as soon as possible, as the hearing dates and deadlines for complying with the rules of the Court in such regard are very short.

Q: asp.net mvc dynamic javascript menu is any library to allow create dynamic javascript menu from code ?

A: If you are using ASP controls like <ASP:MENU>, the dropdown effect is javascript-ed by the control at the server-side. You should be able to use it in ASP.NET MVC too.
See Leveraging Existing ASP.NET Features in ASP.NET MVC
Another good example is WebForm validations, the client-side validation scripts are all generated dynamically at the server-side.
UPDATE
This is probably what you are looking for:
ASP.NET and JQuery MVC Menu and Part 2

A: Just use plain jane UL/LI and use the javascript to do the visual effects. Tons of menu's out on the net that operate this way.
Example:

<% foreach(var item in ViewData["MyMenu"]){%>

<%= item.Title %>

<%} %>

A: Try superfish - I use it in almost all of my MVC apps.

A: My understanding is that a primary benefit of the MVC framework is that you have complete control of the presentation layer markup. As such, you can tailor it to match pretty much any javascript based menuing system. You can build a lot of great systems with jQuery, for instance.

A: I have used Telerik Mvc Extensions in my mvc apps.  They are free and really easy to work with.  Plus the skinning feature along with http://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/visual-style-builder.aspx can make the extensions feel like home with any site design.  The extensions are written in JQuery.

Dengue kills 21 in Indian tourist hotspot, crisis looms
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, India (Reuters) - A dengue outbreak has killed at least 21 people in India's southern state of Kerala in the past three weeks, a government official said, adding that there was a shortage of medicines and health workers to tackle the crisis in the tourist hotspot.
The mosquito-borne dengue virus, which causes flu-like symptoms and can develop into the deadly hemorrhagic dengue fever, has infected more than 11,000 people in Kerala since May, forcing the state to buy new hospital beds and cancel medical staff leave.
"We are staring at a massive health crisis," Kerala's director of health services, R.L. Sarita, told Reuters on Tuesday. "There's a shortage of medicines and health professionals to tackle the situation."
Dengue cases - found in the world's tropical and subtropical regions - have increased 30-fold over the past 50 years, according to the World Health Organisation. Up to 100 million infections occur annually in more than 100 endemic countries.
Sarita said more than 40,000 people were suffering from high fever in the state and that the government was planning to set up emergency medical camps in schools and temples.
With its sweeping coastline, riverboats and tea plantations, Kerala has become a leading tourist destination in India, promoting itself as 'God's Own Country'.
But experts say stagnant water left behind after torrential rains was contributing to the spread of dengue. Authorities said they were trying to prevent breeding of mosquitoes by insecticide fogging, a common sight in Indian cities including New Delhi notorious for open garbage dumps.
"Patients are lying in (hospital) corridors and availing treatment. The situation looks really bad," said a health professional at a hospital in Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of Kerala.

Q: Make one space after every comma? In Linux, using sed.. how can I make sure that every comma is followed by only one space?
(If there is no space, then add a space after the comma. If there is more than 1 space after the comma, then trim it back so there is only 1.)
I've tried Googling for a solution, but haven't been able to find anything.

A: If you want to make sure that there is exactly one space after every comma, you can use:
sed 's/, */, /g' file

Call it as follows to do the substitution directly in the file instead of only printing it:
sed -i 's/,/, /g; s/,\s\+/, /g' file

A: Try this:
sed 's/, */, /g' filename

A: With GNU sed:
sed -re 's/,/, /g' -i your_file

Заменице () представљају једну од променљивих врста речи. Оне се односе на лица, ствари, особине, односно замењују именице или придеве. Деле се на именичке и придевске.

Заменице су традиционално сматране једним од делова говора, али део модерних теоретичари их не сматра јединственом класом, с обзиром на разноврсност лингвистичких функција које обављају. Један пример заменице је "њихово", што је и плурално и сингуларно. Подтипови обухватају личне и посесивне заменице, рефлексне и реципрочне заменице, демонстративне заменице, релативне и упитне заменице и неодређене заменице.

Употреба заменица често укључује анафору, где значење заменице зависи од претходних речи. На пример, у реченици "Онај јадни човек изгледа као да му је потребан нови капут", антецедент заменице "он" ("му") је зависан од "онај јаднi човек".

Придев који се односи на заменицу је прономиналан. Прономинална је такође реч или фраза која делује као заменица. На пример, у "То није онај који сам ја хтео", израз "онај" је прономиналан.

Теоријска разматрања

У граматици
Заменице -{(antōnymía)}- су наведене као један од осам делова говора у делу Уметност граматике, расправи о грчкој граматици која се приписује Дионисију Фракијском и потиче из 2. века п. н. е. Заменица се тамо описује као "део говора који је замењив за именицу и означен за особу". Заменице су и даље сматране делом говора у латинској граматици (латински термине је , од чега потиче енглески назив, преко средњофранцуске речи), и стога генерално у европској традицији.

У модернијим приступима, мање је вероватно да ће се заменице сматрати класом једне речи, због много различитих синтактичких улога које играју, што је представљено различитим врстама заменица које су наведене у претходним одељцима.

У лингвистици

Лингвисти имају знатних потешкоћа са сврставањем заменица у једну категорију, и неки се не слажу да заменице замењују именице или именичке категорије. Одређене врсте заменица су често идентичне или сличне форме одређивачима са сродним значењем; неки примери су дати у табели десно. Ова опсервација је навела неке лингвисте, као што је Пол Постал, да сматрају заменице као одреднице код којих је именица или именична фраза која им следи избрисана. (Такав приступ се чак може навести за одређене личне заменице; на пример, ми и ви би могли да буду анализирани као одређивачи у изразима као што су ми Британци и ви тенисери.) Други лингвисти су заузели слично становиште, уједињујући заменице и одређиваче у једну класу, која се понекад назива "детерминатор-заменица", или сматрају детерминаторе као поткласу заменица или обрнуто. Разлика се може сматрати једном од поткатегоризација или валенција, слично прављењу разлике између прелазних и непрелазних глагола - одређивачи су допуна именичке фразе као што је случају са прелазним глаголима, за разлику од заменица. Ово је конзистентно са стајалиштем о одређивању израза, при чему се одређивач, а не именица која следи, сматра главом фразе. У лингвистици се често среће становиште према коме заменице деле три различите категорије: тачку гледишта, особу и број. Међутим, ширина сваке поткатегорије се разликује међу језицима.

Везујућа теорија и антецеденти

Употреба заменица често обухвата анафору, где значење заменице зависи од другог референтног елемента. Референт заменице је често исти као онај претходне (или понекад следеће) именичне фразе, што се назива антецедентом заменице. Граматичко понашање одређених врста заменица, а посебно њихова могућа веза са њиховим претходницима, била је у средишту студија везивања, посебно у Чомскијанској управи и теорији везивања. У овом обједињавајућем контексту, рефлексивне и реципрочне заменице на енглеском језику (као што су -{himself}- и -{each other}-) називају се анафори (у специјализованом рестриктивном смислу), а не заменички елементи. У складу са теоријом везивања, специфични принципи се примењују на различите групе заменица.

From John Montgomery comes word that Microsoft's Popfly project has been cancelled. I was bullish on Popfly, predicting that it would become the power-user's entrance to Silverlight.
I have had a history of wishful thinking about "restoring the bridge between power users and programmers." I think Microsoft's Powershell is incredible and it absolutely boggles me that it's not gotten more traction.
Is it possible that I'm just clinging to an outmoded value? That these potential bridges don't get traveled because people aren't interested in the destination?
Maybe powershell isn't powerful enough?
I use basic Unix fork / join / pipes in Cygwin for trivial parallelism & concurrency all the time, and it's a very important part of my slower-running scripts, in particularly, cat / sort / uniq for set operations, greps, cuts and pastes, for 500MB or so text files, with I/O optimized by alternating temporary files from one disk to another.
Powershell pipelines are single-theaded. The object orientation doesn't buy me much more than I already get with e.g. tab-delimited and fixed-width text data. And I also get portability across Win32, Mac, Linux and Solaris (for my ZFS fileserver), which is not to be sniffed at – having a familiar and powerful environment everywhere I go is great.
Cygwin and standard shell techniques may be better at processing large amounts of files or text data, but they have been optimized for this purpose over many many years so this is not surprising. Powershell is a paradigm shift and still a bit new, with many of Microsoft's own applications only recently jumping on the band wagon. I still think that Powershell is at least one order of magnitude more powerful than classic shell scripting techniques, especially when you consider tasks that do not involve 500MB text files. If you ever have to write a batch script that needs to determine a computer's IP address or do any other sort of complex data collection/analysis, then the use of an object orientated pipeline is invaluable. I haven't done any multi-threaded scripts in powershell yet, but my guess is that the Background Jobs API (PSJobs cmdlets) added to Powershell V2.0 are just as easy if not easier to work with and understand than forks and joins.
The lack of cross platform compatability is one major issue with Powershell, but in some aspects Powershell is able to overcome this by supporting modern communication technologies such as web services, database connections, and xml processing as first class citizens. Sure, Powershell is not able to execute on Mac or Linux, but it is very capable for accessing or managing Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google App Engine, or any other web based application or platform. Even the VMWare community has started to embrace Powershell for deploying and managing virtual machines.
I think it will be very interesting to see how IronPython and IronRuby affect the adoption or evolution of Powershell, as in my mind they are very formidable opponents for scripting languages integrated with .NET.
I quite like the design and features of Powershell but the Windows-only platform limitation is a complete deal-breaker for me.
Still, I'm watching this space closely!

Aukey EP-B60 Wireless earbuds review : Snap on, snap off.
There's no shortage of affordable Bluetooth products on the market, but affordable doesn't have to mean bad. One company we've had our eyes on for quite some time is Aukey. While its marketing budget isn't as large as some of the other giant companies in audio, that doesn't mean that there aren't some cool things being done. We've looked at a few of its headphones in the past including the EP-B80 wireless 'buds, and we've always come away pretty impressed. So now we thought we'd dig a little deeper down the rabbit hole; today we're checking out the Aukey EP-B60 Wireless to see if it's worth the $59 price tag.

HUBRIS - December 10, 2009
As we cross the threshold into another period of imperial war, we must look back on the wisdom of the classical world and consider how we came to be impaled on the horns of yet another dilemma. The US has come through a long period when it was the shining torch of the Enlightenment, though there was always the grubby details of the human condition to mar the wonderful story of human flowering. The initial period when the rebels of the New World considered how to build a civilization eventually gave way to the Jackson Era, when the Man on Horseback started rebuilding the republic to look more like the party system of the British semi-democracy. But they were always ahead of the game, even though they did not lead, but followed, in the elimination of slavery. Eventually the temptations of power led them into the XX Century as they consumed much that remained of the Spanish Empire and we moved to replace them and the British and French Empires into the flourishing of the power of money and the money of power. Since WW II, we have styled ourselves the leaders and saviors of capitalism and when that was challenged, if only in theory, by the rise of a nation that called itself socialist, our ruling class took up the task of seeing that the threat to the power and wealth of the Robber Barons would be dedicated to bringing them down, as Napoleon was brought down in 1815. We called everyone democracies, even those that were military dictatorships, provided they were dedicated to preserving the power of the proprietor class. But we discovered that supporting every tinpot dictator in the world eventually led us into wars we could not win, even with conscription. But by that time we felt ourselves the rulers of the world, hubris had set in, and the Light had begun to go out. Now, with the riches of capitalism shrinking again under the pressure of unlimited greed, US is so consumed by the imperial hubris that even well-wishing liberal leaders are joined in a war that may finally finish the American Experiment.

Four UMass Amherst researchers are the Armstrong Fund for Science winners for 2016. From left are Yasu Morita, Li-Jun Ma, Michele Klingbeil and Sergey Savinov.
AMHERST, Mass. – A team of four University of Massachusetts Amherst researchers are the Armstrong Fund for Science winners for 2016, which is granting $40,000 over two years to encourage transformative research on campus that introduces new ways of thinking about pressing scientific or technical challenges. They were recognized at the UMass Amherst Honors Dinner on April 13.
They plan to use the Plant Cell Culture Library (PCCL),a plant cell collection donated to the campus with associated equipment worth more than $1 million by Monsanto in 2014. The library contains cells from more than 2,200 plant species and is considered one of the largest and most diverse collections of cultured plant materials in the world, which includes cells capable of controlling drug-resistant pathogens.
The four say that this project harnesses the synergistic power of plant antimicrobials andintegrates the research interests of their labs to identify novel compounds with antifungal, antitrypanosomal or antibacterial activities. They expect data to show the broad usefulness of the PCCL for discovering new compounds of high value to the pharmaceutical industry, and that the culture library should support future grant applications. Armstrong awardees agree to present a public "Science for Non-scientists" lecture when their work is complete.
Benefactors John and Elizabeth Armstrong established their Fund for Science in 2006 to identify and support promising research directions that do not yet have enough data for application to standard funding channels. "Elizabeth and I want to promote major scientific advances in society by supporting researchers with bold vision, documented credentials and a passion for results," Armstrong says.


What is the Currency Conversion with a credit card?
Conversion of currency with a credit card is an optional service provided specifically for holders of Visa or MasterCard traveling abroad. It allows you to seamlessly benefit from the currency conversion by paying your rent with your card.
Usually, the bank that issued your card converts each transaction made in a foreign currency in your billing currency and can arrange this service for you according to the terms and conditions thereof.
Now you have a choice that arranges currency conversion with an exchange rate and transparent conditions instead of your bank.
The currency conversion with credit card charges you a very competitive exchange rate and exchange fees.
The amount of the transaction is clear on your bank statement in your billing currency, and according to the terms and conditions of your bank, it will include your contract number with the original amount of the transaction (that is to say, in the currency of the country of hire) at no extra charge by your bank.
If you choose Currency Conversion service with a credit card, your lease will be printed with the following statement: "The final amount charged will be converted into your billing currency." followed by ISO code and 3 letters identifying the currency in question (for example USD, GBP, and EUR).
If you want to change your mind, you can declare the counter upon return of the vehicle and get your final invoice.
> Inform simply counter agent if you really want to get the Currency Conversion service with a credit card.
If for some technical reason you could not get this service or if you choose to pay in your billing currency, the currency conversion requirements of your bank will apply.
