Alícia Puertas Espín (Manresa, 23 d'octubre de 1974) és una actriu de teatre i televisió i professora de teatre.

Va començar a fer teatre amateur des de ben petita amb la seva tieta Dolors Puertas, arrelada a la Innocentada de Manresa, d'Agustí Soler i Mas. Amb sis anys debuta en la Innocentada "I jo, què?", l'any 1980, a la Sala Loiola (Manresa). Amb la seva tieta, participa també en la companyia de teatre Arlequí.

Mentre estudiava batxillerat va unir-se al grup teatral El Petit Espantall de Manresa. Posteriorment es va llicenciar en Art dramàtic a l'Institut del Teatre. En acabar, juntament amb algunes companyes, va muntar la seva pròpia companyia teatral anomenada Mite-les, amb Tàtels (Maria Àngels) Pérez, de Sallent i Maria Alba Esquius de Súria. La seva primera producció teatral va ser l'obra Amb doble intenció d'Anna Fité, que es va estrenar el 1997 al Versus Teatre de Barcelona. Totes tres van presentar l'obra Dones d'Isabel Clara-Simó, dirigida per Jordi Llop. A partir de llavors van produir diversos muntatges teatrals, però finalment la companyia es va dissoldre el 2007. Més endavant, Alícia Puertas es va unir a la companyia Flyhard, dirigida per Jordi Casanovas, amb la qual ha interpretat diverses obres de teatre, de les quals destaquen La ruïna i Volem anar al Tibidabo.

Chevron unlikely to invest more in Venezuela in short term, says CEO
(Reuters) - Chevron Corp is unlikely to add investment in Venezuela in the next six months despite a recent U.S. license to allow it to expand its operations in the South American country, Chief Executive Michael Wirth said.
U.S. President Joe Biden's administration last week issued a six-month license allowing Chevron to boost oil output in Venezuela. It restricted any cash payments to Venezuela pending further progress on political talks between the government of Socialist President Nicolas Maduro and the country's opposition party.
Washington could gradually relax sanctions on Venezuela and provide greater latitude for Chevron to operate in Venezuela over time, Wirth said, without elaborating, in wide-ranging comments at the Economic Club of New York on Thursday.
A further relaxation of sanctions may happen if Caracas and opposition leaders agree on the terms of a presidential election, Washington has said.
Oil prices are more likely to rise than fall in the near term, Wirth predicted, as Western sanctions on Russian fuel, OPEC production cuts, and the end of U.S. emergency oil releases combine to reduce global supplies.
Despite that outlook and the energy sector outperforming others this year, as well as Chevron shares trading near their all-time high, Wirth said Chevron shareholders do not support increased spending on exploration and production.
"When I ask investors, 'what if we hit the accelerator on investment?, they say 'that adds risk, that makes me less likely to want to invest in the company and own shares,'" he said.
Chevron is the last major U.S. oil company still operating in Venezuela and is owed more than $3 B in dividends and debts from its joint ventures with state-run oil firm PDVSA.
"We're not likely to be coming in with investment in a drilling campaign that grows production in the next six months," said Wirth. "There's a lot of work that has to be done... to allow us to move in that direction."
Sanctions had not halted Venezuelan exports to other countries, and the Biden administration had decided to loosen some of them, he said.
"The primary effect is it allows some of that Venezuelan oil to flow back to the U.S., which will help the U.S. refining system," said Wirth.

Novelist and naturalist Peter Matthiessen dead at 86
Despite his literary pedigree and awards in fiction, Matthiessen was most popularly known as a nature writer.
Peter Matthiessen speaking at the Miami Book Fair International in 1991. (CC/MDCarchives)
SAGAPONACK, N.Y., April 6 (UPI) -- Peter Matthiessen, the only writer to win the National Book Award in both fiction and nonfiction, died at his home in Sagaponack, N.Y., on Saturday -- the end of a year-long battle with leukemia. He was 86 years old.
Matthiessen is the author of 11 novels, the last of which, In Paradise, is due out later this year. He also wrote some two dozen works of non-fiction.
In 1953, he helped found the literary magazine The Paris Review along with writers Harold L. Humes, Thomas Guinzburg, Donald Hall and George Plimpton, a childhood friend. While founding the magazine, Matthiessen was simultaneously working as a spy for the CIA -- one of the only things in his lifetime he claimed to regret.
Matthiessen published his first novel, Race Rock, in 1954. Five years later, he published his first non-fiction book, Wildlife in America, which chronicled tales of species that had gone extinct as a consequence of human presence. It was one of the first books to discuss climate change.

In 1973, Matthiessen followed field biologist George Schaller to Nepal's Himalayas on a field expedition. The trip inspired The Snow Leopard, published in 1978. It won the National Book Award for "Contemporary Thought" in 1979. The paperback version won the National Book Award for "General Non-Fiction" the following year. These accolades helped cement Matthiessen as one of the preeminent naturalists in American letters.
Matthiessen's fiction was also well-regarded by audiences and critics, as well as his peers. He regularly socialized with other literary heavyweights in New York City and on Long Island, including William Styron, Kurt Vonnegut and E. L. Doctorow.

"Matthiessen didn't like being called a nature writer," literary critic McKay Jenkins told NPR. "That said, I don't think there's a living nature writer that hasn't been profoundly influenced by Matthiessen's work."
Matthiessen, a devoted Zen Buddhist, said his role as a fiction writer was to give a voice to those who couldn't speak for themselves. But he often referred to environmentalism as his highest calling.
"I can hardly point to a victory that we ever won as conservationists that hasn't been overturned," he said. "But we won some, too — there were long-lasting victories. And if nothing else, we stalled — stalled them off, the developers and exploiters."

The title is an ironic reference to the central character of the novel, Prince Lyov Nikolaevich Myshkin, a young man whose goodness and open-hearted simplicity lead many of the more worldly characters he encounters to mistakenly assume that he lacks intelligence and insight. In the character of Prince Myshkin, Dostoyevsky set himself the task of depicting "the positively good and beautiful man". The novel examines the consequences of placing such a unique individual at the centre of the conflicts, desires, passions and egoism of worldly society, both for the man himself and for those with whom he becomes involved. The result, according to philosopher A.C. Grayling, is "one of the most excoriating, compelling and remarkable books ever written; and without question one of the greatest.".

Often one or more of the above criteria cannot be met. It may be especially difficult to convince a banker that your projections of sales and cash flow are realistic. This can be accomplished but only by exhibiting extensive knowledge of the business and the market. The bank will expect to see a formal business plan, complete with pro-forma financial statements, and will expect you to complete a personal financial statement.
SBA or FAME Guarantee – The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and Finance Authority of Maine (FAME) primarily assist small businesses by providing commercial loan insurance. The first step, to take advantage of these programs, is to get a bank committed to your project – for it is a bank that will make applications to SBA or FAME. SBA or FAME will have similar requirements of you in terms of experience, character, credit worthiness, collateral and cash investment. The primary difference is that they may be willing to accept more risk than the bank in the name of promoting small business. (Note: Even if you do get a guarantee from SBA or FAME, these agencies will still hold you personally responsible for the debt.) Finally, guarantees do not mean low interest loans. The loan is made at the bank's current rate and a fee is charged by the guarantee agency.

Used test: Jaguar F-Pace vs Porsche Macan
If you're looking for a large SUV with a sporty edge then Jaguar's F-Pace and Porsche's Macan both fit the bill. But which one makes more sense as a used buy?...
What Car? team
What will they cost?
New, the F-Pace would have cost you over £6000 more than the Macan, but it is a larger car and comes with a lot of standard kit that would have cost around the same amount to add to the Macan. That includes things like the 20in alloys, sat-nav, electric front passenger seat, a reversing camera and adaptive suspension. Both cars have climate control, a DAB radio, Bluetooth, parking sensors all round, lane-departure warning, cruise control and rain-sensing wipers as standard, however.
The Macan has retained its value much better than the F-Pace, though. A two-year-old F-Pace can be had for £37,900 now, quite a drop from its new price of £52,300, whereas the Macan can be had for around £38,200, where it originally cost £46,182.
While the cars are closely matched for fuel costs, insurance, servicing and road tax, a private cash buyer is likely to spend more on the Jaguar in overall running costs, with depreciation being the main contributor.
The Jaguar F-Pace is brilliant to drive and surprisingly practical...

Belle Plain College, established in 1881, was a short-lived college located in the now defunct town of Belle Plain, Texas. The college was established by the Northwest Conference of the Methodist Church.

History
John Day donated  of land to the school, located in Belle Plain. In its beginnings local citizens donated generously to the institution. During its first year of existence, 1881–82, it operated in conjunction with the Belle Plain public school system. Franklin Wesley Chatfield served as Belle Plain College (BPC) president during most of its inaugural year. In the spring of 1882 the state awarded BPC a charter and Rev. J.T.L. Annis served as president of the college for the next two years. During his tenure enrollment increased to 122.

Other presidents of BPC include: John W. McIllhenny (1884–85), C. M. Virdel (1885-87), and I.M. Onins (1887–92).

Curriculum and campus
From its inception the college boasted of its music program. By the end of the 1880s the school had fifteen pianos, a brass band, and an orchestra. Though the campus comprised two buildings by 1885 the entire school had been mortgaged to pay for classroom furnishings and instruments. The school's only funding came from the local school district, a fact which hastened its demise.

Upon founding, the school had a girl's dormitory constructed. At the college's height over 300 people were enrolled and in 1885 a three-story stone structure was built at the site. BPC had a military branch of its school in the small town of Belle Plain. The students there were required to wear blue and gray uniforms.

The end of Belle Plain College
When the railroad skipped over Belle Plain in favor of Baird the latter quickly gained favor and became the county seat of Callahan County in 1883. The population began to decline as a result. A couple years of bad weather depleted the college's already empty coffers. Judge I.M. Onins took over the school and its debts in 1887. The mortgage company foreclosed on the property in 1889, though they allowed it to operate until Onins' 1892 death. Today the ruins of the college buildings remain.

Alleged assault case outside Nederland Recreation Center sent to District Attorney's office

NEDERLAND — An case involving a juvenile who allegedly assaulted a special needs adult in late June has been brought to the Jefferson County District Attorney's office.
Nederland Police Chief Gary Porter said the case involving a 14-year-old was handed over to prosecutors late last month.

Porter explained compiling the case took time, adding. officers must collect medical records, all video available to police and talk to witnesses.
"And attempt to talk to any and everybody involved and make sure we did our due diligence to check out any evidence a crime has been committed or exculpatory evidence that a crime was not committed," Porter said, explaining that police have that duty.
John Nelson, assistant criminal district attorney, confirmed the case had been submitted to the D.A.'s office.
The D.A.'s office has several options in juvenile cases. It can petition to charge the juvenile with the offense and go to court based on that or it could go to the grand jury.
"It's too soon in the process to say one way or the other," Nelson said.
As for a timeline, there is no set date for an outcome.
"We hope to have an outcome beneficial to him and everybody else," he said.
On June 30, Keyton Daws, 26, a special needs individual, was punched in the face by a teenager while outside the Nederland Recreation Center.
Daws' injuries were extensive; he had to go to the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, where two plates were inserted in Daws' mouth to repair two fractures in his jaw.
Other work was performed in Daws' mouth and the plates will be permanent, his family previously told Port Arthur Newsmedia.
A video of the altercation was uploaded to Snapchat — much to his family's dismay.
The video shows a male, who appears to be a teenager, telling Daws "I just told you not to say it again" as a punch connects with Daws' face.
A voice is heard saying, "That's why you don't say that. That's not nice. Don't say that again, bro. I ain't playing with you."
It is unknown if this particular video was submitted to police and the DA's office.
Police described the altercation as an isolated incident.
Police confirm man dies 9 days after being shot…


This family has been with me for so long. I love that they now squeeze me in when they are visiting family in N.C. (they live in Texas currently). I love catching up with them, and their little girls are just too cute. It doesn't seem like too long ago that we were doing the maternity session of their oldest daughter.. and now she runs up to me saying, 'hey miss Amy!" This is one of my favorite parts of photographing maternity, newborns, and beyond. I love watching them grow into their own personalities and capturing life for just a split second. On this day, the weather wasn't fantastic, but Bass Lake in Holly Springs serves as a great backdrop for those drizzly days. The covered porch provided some adorable structural elements, and their trail worked perfectly for the woodsy-bunny theme they had for the first birthday cake.


You know the story of the OK Corral - The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral was a battle that has been portrayed in numerous Western films.
It has come to symbolize the struggle between law-and-order, open-banditry and rustling in frontier towns of the Old West where law enforcement was often weak or simply nonexistent.
The gunfight happened at about 3 p.m. on Wednesday, October 26, 1881, in a vacant lot behind the corral in Tombstone, Arizona Territory, United States. Some of the fighting was in Fremont Street in front of the vacant lot. About 30 shots were fired in 30 seconds.
and "cowboy bandits" in the history of the wild west.
The internet has sometimes been compared to the wild, wild west. Partly because in those early days of the frontier, the law was in place to protect citizens of the land but in many cases, it was hard to enforce and criminals ran free to defy laws without fear of being stopped.
When it comes to protecting kids who go online, in a lot of ways it is the 'wild west out there again in cyber space.
Are there laws on the books to protect our children from being assaulted by internet criminals who would do them harm?
Of course there are. But enforcing those laws and catching every bad person who your child might encounter in cyberspace is a task that law enforcement is working hard to conquer. But they have not conquered it yet.
So today's cyberspace is in many ways, an untamed frontier. The cyber predators may not be as evident as were the "cowboys" who were fairly popular in Tombstone, where the townsfolk were not living in fear of them. Unfortunately, today's "cyber cowboys" hide behind the anonymity of the Internet where they can't be seen.
While we don't want to go to the days of the wild west where vigilantes roamed the land enforcing brutal justice on criminals, we have to do something.
The stories we hear on television and read in the newspapers about children being seduced and abducted right out from under the noses of parents are deeply frightening.
This may be the most troubling thing about cyber criminals who would harm our children. Because the internet is in our homes and even now spreading to the phones and electronic devices of our children, the access of strangers to our kids is virtually unlimited.
Kids can get into chat rooms, use social networking services like MySpace and view all kinds of filth online all while mom and dad are just a few feet away watching the news.
The dangers which come with surfing and talking online can usually be supervised at home. However, it's almost impossible if you are the parent of a young teenager, to monitor what they are doing while they are out with friends using their cell phones.
Because of this unprecedented access, new strategies have to be developed for law enforcement to protect our kids but also so we can partner with them to stop these evil people who would use this wonderful tool of the internet for evil purposes.
At a public level, we want to give our police and law enforcement officials all the help we can to crack down on cyber stalkers so the word goes out to such criminals that it is possible to be caught stalking children and if you are caught, it will be a harsh penalty for this kind of crime.
Some have even called for the death penalty for people who stalk children online. How severe we as a society wish to treat crimes of this nature is something for our leaders to help us work through.
But our first line of defense is enabling those we trust to protect us to find and lock up these criminals so these crimes can be stopped.
At this time, we cannot expect law enforcement to be able to stop anyone from approaching our children online. So we as parents share in the responsibility for protecting kids and making sure our homes are secure.
Just as we put locks on the doors even though police are there to stop intruders, we must secure the internet so the chances of our kids becoming victims is minimized.
keep our kids out of web sites where these criminals may lurk. These "Net Nanny" programs are inexpensive and effective.
Knowledge We must teach our children not to talk to strangers online any more than they would in a public place.
Cyber stalkers are clever predators so we must be sure our children understand the risk and do not engage anyone they don't know and trust online.
approached by a cyber stalker, they can come to their parents who can then alert the authorities.
It's a shared effort to stop these criminals from having access to our children. By working together with law enforcement and keeping those lines of communication open with our own kids, we can shut down their access to our children and frustrate their ability to commit crimes against those we love the most.

Iranian national charged for HBO hack
The US Justice Department has charged a part-time Iranian government hacker with infiltrating HBO and trying to extort the premium broadcaster, a move that comes amid allegations the charges were rushed to bolster President Donald Trump's case against Tehran.
The man, Behzad Mesri, is charged with orchestrating the high-profile hack of the US cable channel earlier this year, which led to a standoff over a demanded ransom payment and the leak of unaired episodes of some of HBO's biggest shows, including Game of Thrones and Ballers.
Speaking at a press conference, Joon Kim, the acting US attorney for the Southern District of New York, called Mesri "an experienced and sophisticated hacker who has been wreaking havoc on computer systems around the world for some time."
According to prosecutors, Mesri used stolen login credentials to access HBO's network, stole material including TV episodes and demanded the company pay $6 million in the digital currency bitcoin.
As Mesri is currently in Iran, US officials have admitted arresting him will be difficult. The indictment, however, appears to be part of a "name and shame" strategy the U.S. has used in the past to quell interference by foreign hackers it doesn't expect to be turned over.
Kim said there will be "real consequences" for Mesri, whose face has now been put on FBI "Wanted"
"He will never be able to travel outside of Iran without fear of being arrested and brought here to face these charges," Kim said. "The memory of American law enforcement is very long."

Northport-East Northport Board of Education Trustee Lori McCue arrived home last Wednesday to 30-40 picketing schoolteachers outside.
The trustee said the teachers, dressed in black and members of the United Teachers of Northport (UTN) union, gathered outside of McCue's house in protest of a still-unsettled contract – a matter that brought a similar quantity of teachers to school board member Donna McNaughton's house one week earlier.
"I think it's a little bit uncomfortable that professionals in our district feel like it's acceptable to go to board members' houses," said McCue, who has two children currently attending school in the district. Her 14-year-old daughter was inside the house at the time of the picketing.
The act seemed "foolish," McCue said, because the union had already declared impasse and a mediation session is scheduled for Dec. 8.
"That pressure, along with the recent displays of unity of the membership, was instrumental in expediting the process," reads the post, written by a site administrator.
UTN President Antoinette Blanck did not return calls for comment by press time on Tuesday.
McNaughton, acknowledging that the protesters were within their rights when they walked around her court earlier this month, said that she understands the teachers' concern.
The teachers are the district's "best asset," she said, and financial constraints that came with the 2-percent tax cap have been an obstacle.
The picketers arrived at McNaughton's around 4 p.m. that day and walked McNaughton's court for about half an hour, she said.
According to McCue, this protest is not the first in the district with the goal of settling a contract, but the only similar instance that came to McCue's mind was picketing in front of the board president's house three years ago.

You often wear short shades and dresses to enjoy the summer sun at the beach or the park with friends and family. Despite all the fun and happiness, most of us are left with unattractive and ugly sun tan on hands or face at the final of the day. Sun tan generally occurs on body areas that are exposed to the sun such as, neck, face, arms, and legs as well. Sun tan leads to various skin issues such as pimples, skin burn, wrinkles, dark spots, fine lines or hyperpigmentation. There are a ton of chemical laden cosmetic products that are available in the market to solve this problem. But, these products may show side-effects for many. Instead, you can use some certain face packs to remove sun tan and get a smooth and clear skin naturally. These face packs use natural ingredients and are easy to make at home. Try them right now!
This face pack is very effective at removing sun tan due to the presence of papaya. Papaya contains the enzyme papain that comes with potent skin-lightening properties. These properties help to remove sun tan and decrease the visibility of blemishes and scars. Plus, the other enzymes present in this fruit are known for skin exfoliation, renewal, and restoration. Another great ingredient in this pack is honey. Honey helps to moisturize and soften the skin. To make this face pack, you mash ripe papaya pulp (½ cup) and to it, add honey (1 tablespoon). Then, mix well and apply the pack on the clean face. Let it dry for 30 minutes and finally, rinse off with water.
Bothe lemon and cucumber are two perfect natural bleaching properties that make this pack an ideal remedy for sun tan treatment. As we know, lemon juice is filled with citric acid and vitamin C, both of which help to lighten skin tone and is also the natural remedy solution to the question about how to get clear skin. Plus, vitamin C is a great antioxidant that helps to neutralize the damage caused due to free radicals and helps to lighten tan, dark spots and age spots. The rose water and cucumber juice in this pack work as cooling agents that help to soothe the blemished skin. To make this face pack, you need to take 1 tbsp each of lemon juice, cucumber juice, and rose water and later mix them in a bowl. Then, apply on tanned areas with cotton. Keep it on for ten minutes and wash off using cold water. This pack needs to be applied every day for best results.
Note: Remember to use sunscreen when applying a lemon remedy because its acidic nature can make your skin sensitive to the sun's UV rays.
Generally speaking, this face pack combines the powerful bleaching agents of lemon, yogurt and tomato and is also a great pack for the skin tone improvement naturally. It also works wonders in eliminating pigmentation and dark spots from sun tanned skin. Besides, yogurt helps to moisturize and nourish the skin while tomato juice acts as a natural toner that helps to shrink open pores and lower oiliness of the skin. This pack is also a great way to get lighter skin tone. Make this pack by mixing tomato pulp (2 tablespoons), lemon juice (1 tablespoon) and yogurt (1 tablespoon) in a bowl and applying on face. Leave it to dry for thirty minutes and wash with cold water at the last step.
This pack contains milk which is useful for making skin moisturized and supple. Plus, the orange peel has citrus acid and vitamin C which help this pack to reduce tanning and lighten the skin tone as well. To make this pack, you take a spoonful of orange peel powder in 1 bowl. Later add raw milk (a teaspoon) to it and form it into a paste. Once done with this paste, apply it on the face. Leave it to dry and thereafter, wash off with water.
Potatoes also have huge benefits for skin because they are loaded with minerals, vitamins, protein and fibers that are needed for skin care. Potatoes are also one of the age old methods for sun tan because the vitamin C in it lightens skin tone and adds a healthy glow to the skin. In addition, potato juice helps to treat skin aging, inflammation and blemishes. Moreover, it soothes and calms the skin. The combination of lemon juice and potato is the best way to get rid of dark circles. To make this face pack, take a potato and extract its juice with the help of a grinder. Then, mix lemon juice (a tablespoon) with it and apply the mixture on face together with other affected areas. After a gap of 30 and 40 minutes, wash off using cold water.
Pineapple is also a good remedy for sun tan removal. This tropical fruit has the enzymes that help to remove dead cells from burnt and tanned areas. In addition, they are full of antioxidants and vitamin C that neutralizes the free radical damage and oxidative stress. They also postpone the appearance of the aging signs such as fine lines, wrinkles and freckles and help to lighten age spots, sun tan and pigmentation. All you need to do is mix pineapple pulp (2 tablespoons) with honey (1 tablespoon) to make a pack. Later apply the pack on face and wait for four minutes. Finally, wash thoroughly with water.
This face pack helps you to remove tan while slightly moisturizing your skin with the glycerin. Lemon, on the other hand, is a great bleaching property that helps to make the skin tone lighter. Firstly, to make this wonderful pack, you need to prepare 1 tbsp of sugar, 1 tbsp of lemon juice and ½ tsp of glycerin. Later take the lemon juice (one tablespoon) in a bowl. Later add glycerin and sugar to it. After that, apply this solution on your affected areas. Apply it as a scrub and use an upward massaging motion gently as you rub the skin. Repeat this scrubbing for around ten minutes and rinse off the pack using water afterwards. Continue using this face pack one time a week till the satisfied desired results are reached.
Turmeric is known for its amazing medicinal agents and for its amazing effects on our skin as well. Especially, turmeric aids in adding a healthy glow to our skin and helps to reduce tan and pigmentation. Bengal gram acts as a natural scrub for removing dead cells and exfoliating the skin. In order to make the face pack, you combine besan (2 tablespoons), a pinch of turmeric, milk (1 tablespoon), and crushed orange peel (1 tablespoon) in a bowl with some cold rose water. Later apply the pack on the clean face and allow it to dry for 20 minutes. Sprinkle water on the dried areas to moist it. Scrub gently in an anti-clockwise and clockwise direction slowly to remove the pack. Apply this pack one time in two days for beneficial exfoliation and tan removal.
This is one of the best treatments for sun tan that uses the exfoliant quality of red lentil and the hydrating advantages of aloe vera. Red lentil helps to clear the extreme of tanning while the plant steroids in aloe vera gel help to soothe inflammation and burning of the skin and aid in healing suntan and sunburn. Tomatoes in the pack rejuvenate our skin and help to revitalize it from within. You need to make a rough paste by soaking read lentil (1 tablespoon) in water for twenty minutes. Mix the paste with 1 tablespoon of tomato pulp and some fresh aloe vera gel and massage on the face and neck. After 20 minutes, rinse off by using water.
The best face packs for sun tan removal must include this pack. These bright red berries contain skin lightening agents that help to improve skin complexion and decrease dark spots, freckles and pigmentation. Milk cream, on the other hand, provides deep nourishment to our skin and moisturizes it as well. To make this powerful sun tan remover, you just need to crush 4 strawberries and later mix with milk cream (2 tablespoons). Later apply the pack on the face and rinse off with water after 30 minutes.
All the above-mentioned face packs for sun tan removal are natural. You should use one of them often to remove the sun tan. Apply regularly for a couple of weeks to notice the desired results. Don't forget to share your experiences with me.

It's not that Net Neutrality is boring, it's that talking about it is boring because it can be complex and vague. Net Neutrality is a controversial issue in the US, Europe, and India, but rarely discussed in New Zealand.
Net Neutrality impacts so many disparate areas of our technological and day-to-day lives – this is personal. Ending Net Neutrality will allow big companies to buy their way into the fast lane, leaving everybody else in the slow lane. The Internet is nationally important infrastructure, so it should be protected. Let's have NZ join the global debate starting here!
Facilitators: Hadyn Green, Matthew Jackson, Trish Hepworth.
Not available in your country: a discussion about copyright on the Internet.
In this session we will discussing the various aspects of copyright in New Zealand and overseas and how it affects the average New Zealand consumer. The session will have a small number of experts who will outline the current positions of various parties.
While the focus will be mainly on streaming video and music there is scope to discuss various issues with copyright in an online environment.
Facilitators: Barry Brailey, Martin Cocker.
Security and safety issues are always topical in relation to the Internet. We often hear a lot about what that means for individuals or big businesses (large enterprises), but what does it mean for small and medium sized businesses? What does it mean for you local dairy owner or your favourite cafe? What does it mean for the business down the road that employees 80 people?
In this session we would like to discuss some of this and perhaps tease out some better understanding of the situation – come prepared to discuss as we don't have the answers!
Facilitators: Kevin Prince, Tim Henwood.
An open and uncaptured web: is there an app for that?
Apps are becoming an increasing feature of the web and there are implications to that in terms of the web, if not the net, remaining open and uncapturable. You could argue that the net doesn't have a problem in everyones app has equal access but, equally you could argue that 'walled-gardens" are inherently captured. Sometimes you can get a better experience; sometimes a more accessible one but would a truly open web require that services are available through a browser on whatever device you prefer rather than the app that is developed, perhaps with reduced or increased functionality for your device. If we all used HTML then having only one set of code to maintain would be an advantage.

Last night was New Years Eve and so it was apt to finish with fireworks. Using a Gelli printing plate can be a bit hit and miss. I love this aspect about this medium. Using cut out firework shapes I created layers of different colours and finished the illustration by adding the cut outs on top to create a mixed media collage.
I had a great evening watching the Sydney fireworks with family. So Happy New Year everyone and thank you for all your wonderful support throughout this creative year!
Pencil sketch, wax crayons and masking fluid painted over with watercolour and outlined in food colouring as I didn't have any indian inks.
I need to do a little more practice with the masking fluid as this was my firts time using this material. I couldn't get it off and when I did manage to peel some of it back off it tore the paper.
Each week I have no idea what I will illustrate for the weeks theme. I mull it over in my head and wait for my brain to decide which medium it fancies experimenting with or developing. As usual the image in my head is nothing like the image that eventually comes out in paper this can be a pleasant surprise a s much as it can be a pain in the bum.
I used a photo as a reference of magic mushrooms from Back To (Urban) Nature blog.
The next theme is TOYS!
It can be very frustrating to have an image in your head that your hands just can't create. This was fun to do never-the-less.
This first image was completed in Adobe Illustrator. It's okay. I am getting frustrated with my own lack of skill with this medium but I enjoy creating digital art, so I am going to have to go on a course.
I decided to have another crack at the octopus theme in pencil and then Photoshopped the image just for fun (using Trace image).
Again I decided to do more pencil work.
I have always wanted to improve on my pen & ink drawing skills inspired by a local artist from where I was born, Edmund Blampied, but I got frustrated with my lack of skill and left it as it was before I ruined it.
Every week I am learning or improving in some way. It may not be always obvious but it must surely be better than doing no artwork each week. Hope you are enjoying Tania McCartney's 52 Week Challenge as much as I am!
The good news is that I am practising my art more than if I wasn't participating in Tania McCartneys 52 week Ilustration Challenge.
The material sfor this artwork came just in time for the deadline before the theme changed. I had ordered some polystyrene tiles for printing with. Usually I use a pencil and draw onto the tile by pressing into it nut this time a use utensils/machines. I pressed the objects into the tile to create a machine looking type of robot. I rolled white acrylic paint over the tile and pressed black card ontop of that.
Two of my manuscripts include a main character that is an Australian Little Blue Penguin. Sometimes I draw them. This helps me to establish their character in my mind and discover what litlle quirks or personlity traits they may have. I used Mont Marte woodless graphite pencils and watercolour pencils.
Every week I think I am going to come up with nothing and every week I surprise myself. I may not have established a style yet (my goal) but I am certainly enjoying the developing my creative skills.
I hope to be as productive as I was last year but with new aspects of my writing journey. Last year I completed Julie Hedlund's 12 x 12 writing challenge which was fantastc because I completed 12 picture book manuscript drafts in 12 months. This year I thought I would develop another skill and therefore I will be joining in Tania McCartney's 52 illustrations in 52 weeks challenge. For more information go to The 52-week illustration challenge or you can follow each participant through Twitter at #illo52weeks.
This was the first time I have attempted to draw an egg in an incredibly long time and it was surprisingly enjoyable. I hadn't decided what medium to use until I fetched the egg from the fridge. Pastels just seemed the right thing at the time.
My kids decided to join in (as it is still the school holidays) and this kept them quiet while I attempted to illustrate the egg.

Indian Heritage Center, Finally
Posted on May 14, 2018	by David H Lukenbill
According to this article in the Sacramento Bee, major funds are, possibly, finally available for this wonderful project we have been advocating for since 2005.
It was initially designed to be on the historic Indian village location in the North Sacramento area of the Parkway, but other parkway organizations and the city and county shortsightedly fought it, so West Sacramento wisely took it over.
Gov. Jerry Brown's final budget proposal includes an eye-popping surprise for California's Native American tribes.
It sets aside $100 million to begin building a California Indian Heritage Center on a 43-acre riverfront campus in West Sacramento.
Native American and city leaders who've advocated for the project for more than a decade did not know the money was in the budget that Brown released on Friday.
It came as a shock and I went, 'Oh, thank you, Lord,'" said Reba Fuller of the Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians. She's been on the project's board of directors since 2007.
West Sacramento Mayor Christopher Cabaldon also did not know Brown planned to boost the project. The Legislature must approve the spending for the project to begin, but its inclusion in Brown's proposal is a good sign.
"It's a welcome surprise," he said. "This is a project that we've been working on for quite some time and the objective has never changed: To create a center that is worthy of Native American heritage in this state."
The Indian Heritage Center is intended to replace the State Indian Museum at Sutter's Fort State Historic Park in Sacramento. It would be managed by the Parks and Recreation Department in collaboration with tribal representatives.
The new facility is expected to cost about $200 million with tribes raising money to fund the other half of the project. It'll sit on land at the confluence of the Sacramento and American rivers in West Sacramento.
The main access to the site would be Marina Way off of Lighthouse Drive. West Sacramento donated the land for the project in 2007.
"This obviously is a leap to the finish line," Cabaldon said. "The plan for the center involves several phases, so a good deal of it could be under construction and complete with $100 million."
Brown and the state's Native American tribes have been allies in his second run as governor. Tribes have donated to his political campaigns and contributed more than $1 million to charities for which he solicits funds — two charter schools in Oakland, according to state records.

HomeRoyal PriesthoodWhat Is A Royal Priesthood?
What Is A Royal Priesthood?
"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light" (1 Peter 2:9).
Greetings. In summary, let us explore what God means when he sends Peter to tell us that we are a royal priesthood!
Let us first see that from the beginning God had in His mind the type of people that he desired. God's original plan and intention for humankind are seen in Genesis 1:26: "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." God's intention was to have a people who:
1. Were like Him, had His image and likeness.
2. Had dominion on the earth
Even made it even very clear to Moses that if his people would obey Him they would be: "And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation." (Exodus 19:6).
David discovered that God's people were given so much dominion on the earth: "The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's: but the earth hath he has given to the children of men" (Psalm 115:16). He was so astounded by God's doing that he asked God, " What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. (Psalm 8:4-8).
The original Hebrew says God has made man be a little lower than Elohim, a deputy god, a small god! God has always wanted us to have a relationship with him but at the same time know that we have dominion on the earth. David himself carried the priestly, prophetic, and kingly anointings... and though he erred a lot, God called him, "the man after my heart!"
Jesus Christ himself was the son of God and he exhibited both a close relationship with the father and strong authority to have dominion on the earth: while he preached, taught, worshipped, and honored God, He also spoke to the earth's elements, shook the political world, shifted economies, harvested money from fish and even took over all the 7 mountains of influence! He was a priest and yet King of the Jews ( and the whole world).
Through Christ Jesus we also are ultimately being made into both kings and priests: "And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen." (Revelation 1:6).
In short, a royal priesthood is people who are both kings and priests: they take territories in the physical(and spiritual) moving with God's might and authority and yet serve the Lord by having a close relationship with Him and pushing his mandate for souls to be saved!
You are a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD!
Gamuchira Jesu ikozvino woendawo kukereke kunobatirana nevamwe pamweya.
Have a wonderful and blessed day. Amen.

Phoebe Frear Talks About Human Trafficking In Her Film 'Remember To Forget Me'
No Comments on Phoebe Frear Talks About Human Trafficking In Her Film 'Remember To Forget Me'
Phoebe Frear of Your Gal Friday Podcast sits down to talk with Gal's Guide about what she calls, "the real starting point of my film career." Remember to Forget Me is a short film about human sex trafficking. The process and subject material affected Phoebe in a deeply profound way.
"We knew that our target audience had no clue that this was in our backyard….Since they don't know it's a thing, they're not going to do anything about it. Since they don't do anything about it, this is what happens….The whole point is that this could end gracefully where you save them, but you can't save them if you don't know what's happening."
21 million people are trafficked around the world according to Unicef. The United States is not immune. Since 2007 the National Human Trafficking Hotline has received 162,660 reports and calls for help.
We asked her about the process as the co-director, co-writer, editor and producer on Remember to Forget Me.
Gal's Guide: So first off, tell me about where Remember to Forget Me fits in relation to your other film work.
Phoebe Frear: The tricky thing is that this is my first major production. My other previous films before this were short, silly, You Tube films that were scripted, but didn't mean a whole lot. They didn't mean much to me, but they were made for experience. Remember to Forget Me was the real starting point for my film career. After Remember to Forget Me, I made a documentary about slave guides. I'm very passionate about raising awareness of slavery both in the past and the present. It hurts me when humans don't treat other humans like humans. If we choose to ignore it, we can, so I want to make sure that we don't ignore it.
G3: Now, you worked with a partner on this film. Who came up with the idea of making a film about sex trafficking?
PF: The idea was born with Tricia Lou. She actually came to me and said that she was passionate about raising awareness on human trafficking. I didn't know much about the topic at the time, but I thought that it was really important to raise awareness of slavery. So, I really thought that people need to know about this. Even then, I was a baby filmmaker, but my gift is to make movies. So I said to her, "If you're serious, we need to make a movie about this." She said she was serious. She had all the background knowledge, and I had the film background.
G3: How well versed were you in the topic at the time?
PF: I knew nothing about it at the time. When she came to me, I had no idea of the broad scope of it. I wasn't naive to all of it, but there's so many different nuances to it. I had no idea of the broadness. The thing that shocked me the most is that it's in my backyard. It's not a "could be" it's an is. That's why I became passionate about it. I wanted to show that it's not just overseas, 5,000 miles away. It's happening right behind us.
Together we decided to write a screenplay. We started an outline, and we knew it had to be a short film, because we couldn't afford a feature length. I didn't write it solo. Me and her wrote it together.
G3: Did you find that there was a division of labor through the screenwriting process? In other words, were you tasked with dialogue while your partner focused on the action? Did you independently write different scenes? Or was it a completely collaborative process?
PF: Completely collaborative. We used Google Docs, and we picked times during the day where we would go back and forth and write. We'd discuss scenes we were doing, sometimes we would each take a character and write the dialogue, sometimes there was a scene that she was really passionate about and she'd write it then I'd critique it, but it was almost completely collaborative. I had previous experience using this exact method with a different writing partner, so this was the rhythm that I was in at this point.
G3: Since most of the actors and actresses were young, did any of them have any hesitations regarding the topic of the movie?
PF: They did a little bit, but Tricia was really good about talking to them and their parents about it. We were very careful.
G3: How much of the story did you actually tell the two young actresses? Were they kept in the dark about what was actually going on, or was it all out there?
PF: We kept them in the dark. We told the parents the whole story, then we told the parents, tell them as much or as little about the story as you want. We're gonna tell them what they need to know. We did tell young Hope that she's discovering that her dad just died. We got permission, but we never told them the broad scope of it. Young Martha did get told I think, but I don't think that young Hope did. My direction was more…this is an uncomfortable thing, this person is bad and he's going to move you here. This person is good in person really, but once I say action, this guy is creepy and you don't like him and he's moving you into this room.
G3: How did the town of Wellsboro, PA respond to having some of their locations in the film?
PF: [When] we finally talked to the manager at the hospital. It turned out that he has a daughter and he had no idea about this issue [of human trafficking]. So as Tricia and I talk with him about it, he starts breaking down in tears. He says, "you can film here whenever you want." We told him that we just needed the outside. We don't need to show the name. We just need to show the emergency room sign. He said, "don't block the emergency room entrance, tell us when you're filming and you can do whatever you want." He was just really on board with the idea.
G3: Did you do anything to prep for shooting such as storyboarding?
PF: I'm a lot better if I can see the location and then plan out my shots. But I didn't see any of these locations in person beforehand, so I would just show up, and figure it out on the fly.
G3: So this type of material had to take its toll on you. What was the most difficult part: the writing, the shooting or the editing?
PF: Writing was vastly more difficult than filming it. Filming it, I got into my director zone and I'm separated from the subject. There's so many other things I have to worry about that I couldn't worry about the emotion and the content while I was actually filming. I just had to make sure that the performance was good enough. Writing really sucked. It took us 3-4 months to write it. I just couldn't….once I'm in that headspace, I can't get out. So I was in this downward spiral for a couple of months. Once we filmed, I was fine, then the editing sucked more than the writing.
G3: It's been over 4 years since the release of Remember to Forget Me. Looking back at it from your current perspective, how do you feel about the film?
PF: I'm still really proud of it. I'm not ashamed to say, this is a film I worked on and it's a topic that's important to me. I still tell people to watch it, with the preface that it was my first major project. It's not a good film to base my talent on, because there's a lot of things technically wrong with it, but I'm still proud of it because it's a story that needs to be told, and we told it pretty well for a bunch of teenagers making a movie.
G3: Is there any interest in revisiting this topic? Either through a full length film, a documentary or another short film?
PF: Absolutely. This subject is always something heavy on my heart and every time I think about it, I go, well what am I doing now? I don't think this topic will ever go away for me. If I'm not doing something about it, what am I doing? Making it a full length, doing a documentary, either of those would be cool. Anything really.
G3: Any words of advice that you would give to any young gals reading this that want to make their first film?
PF: Im gonna be like Nike and say, "Just Do It." It doesn't matter how old you are, how good you are, how much experience you have. All of that stuff, at the end of the day, is stuff that Hollywood talks about but it isn't relevant to you today. What is relevant to you is that this is something that you're passionate about and if there's something that you're passionate about and it matters to you and you do something about it and you make a film regardless of all the odds being stacked against you, people will notice. People still talk to me about this film today, and it's four years later.
Even though something is hard to talk about and it makes you incredibly uncomfortable, if it's what's really heavy on your heart, then it doesn't matter what anyone else has to say. You have to do something about it, and you won't regret doing something, regardless of how it goes down.

Q: Float Two Divs Side By Side I'm really sorry to post this. I've read dozens of posts on this same issue, but I just can't solve this. How do I place the blue and green boxes side-by-side? I've got plenty of space in my wrapping div, and I think that I am dealing with float correctly, but still incorrect results. What gives?

My Title

Line1
Line2
Line3

.titleframe {
    margin:0 auto;
    width:750px;
    clear:left;
    height:300px;
    border: 1px solid red;
}

.image {
    width:100px;
    height:250px;
    border: 1px solid blue;
}

.titletext{
    position:relative;
    float:left;
    padding-left:25px;
    padding-top:0px;
    height:150px;
    width:250px;
    border: 1px solid green;
}

A: Add float:left; to your .image class. Here is a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/36KP5/
.image {
    width:100px;
    height:250px;
    border: 1px solid blue;
    float:left;
}

A: Fiddle
You can either float the first one left, and add margin-left to the second one:
.titleframe {
    margin:0 auto;
    width:750px;
    clear:left;
    height:300px;
    border: 1px solid red;
}

.image {
    width:100px;
    height:250px;
    border: 1px solid blue;
    float:left;
}

.titletext{
    position:relative;
    margin-left: 101px;
    padding-left:25px;
    padding-top:0px;
    height:150px;
    width:250px;
    border: 1px solid green;
}

Or you can float them both left.

Communist Party of China announces legal reforms giving judges more independence
October 23, 2014 12:49:36 pm
Peter Snyder
[JURIST] The Communist Party of China (CPC) [CFR backgrounder; JURIST news archive] announced a blueprint for judicial reform in a communique issued Thursday at the conclusion of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee [Xinhua highlights]. According to the communique, the CPC will institute legal reforms [Reuters report] aimed at giving judges more independence and limiting the influence of local officials over courts. As part of the reform process to increase judicial independence, the highest court in China, the Supreme People's Court [official website, in Chinese], will create a system of circuit courts which, according to the Chinese state press agency Xinhua, will [Xinhua report] "facilitate the handling of judicial cases filed by the public from local communities." In addition to judicial reform the meeting called for improved supervision of China's constitution by China's parliament, the National People's Congress [official website]. The four-day annual plenum of the 370-member Central Committee made, for the first time, the focus of the meeting "governing the country by law."
Recent decisions by Chinese courts regarding violence and unrest in Xinjiang and prominent political activists have led to increased scrutiny of the country's judicial system. Earlier this month a Chinese court sentenced 12 people to death [JURIST report] and gave 15 others suspended death sentences for their involvement in attacks on a police station and government offices in south Xinjiang [official website, in Chinese] in July. In September China's official Xinhua News Agency [official website] released a report [JURIST report] detailing the evidence used to convict prominent ethnic minority scholar of separatism Ilham Tohti to life in prison. Also in September the legal defense team representing prominent Chinese human rights activist Guo Feixiong [CHRD profile], decided to boycott the start of Guo's pending trial over procedural irregularities, which resulted in adjournment of the proceedings at the Guangzhou People's Court in Southern China.

Ukraine reveals scale of Western military aid
Kiev's foreign minister has claimed support from overseas is helping to deter aggression from Moscow
FILE PHOTO. © Getty Images / Scott Peterson/
Ukraine has received more than a billion dollars in economic aid, as well as guns, ammunition and other military assistance from the West in recent months, Kiev's top diplomat has announced, adding that he believes the support has forestalled a potential Russian invasion.
Speaking to journalists at a briefing on Monday, Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba explained the sharp spike in support from abroad, saying, "Ukraine has gotten more international political and economic support, as well as security. Over these weeks and months we have received more than $1.5 billion, and more than 1,000 tons of arms and armaments."
The diplomat went on to say that he believes a spate of visits from foreign politicians have also helped Kiev amid fears that Moscow could be planning an invasion of the Eastern European nation, an accusation that Moscow has repeatedly denied. "Intense diplomacy right now is allowing us to keep the situation under control," Kuleba said. "Kiev has turned into a center of gravity for international diplomacy, and this is also a factor in deterring Russia."
Ukrainian MPs fly US flag
He added that the question of military aid will be discussed with President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday during a visit to Kiev following the French leader's meeting with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, in Moscow. "When there is talk of strengthening Ukraine's Armed Forces, there cannot be countries with whom we don't bring this up," he explained.
Kuleba also reported that he had not given up on receiving military assistance from Germany, despite Berlin's unwillingness so far to export weapons to Ukraine. "If I had lost hope on this or any other matter, then I surely wouldn't be doing my job," the diplomat said.
Western leaders have been warning for months that Russia could be planning an invasion of Ukraine, pointing to reports of a troop buildup on the border of the two nations. Moscow has rejected the accusation and called for security guarantees that would prohibit the expansion of NATO, the US-led military bloc, into Ukraine or Georgia, a deal that American negotiators have said is impossible.
Russia has also claimed that Western military shipments to Ukraine increase the chance that Kiev will take military action against the self-declared breakaway republics in the country's eastern Donbass region, making a diplomatic solution to the crisis less likely.
In January, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced that President Joe Biden had authorized an additional $200 million in military assistance to Ukraine in December, including Javelin anti-tank missiles and "large quantities of artillery."
Last week, a group of Ukrainian MPs brought the flags of various Western nations, including the US and UK, to the floor of Parliament and thanked their allies for the assistance they had received. They were reprimanded by the presiding officer for speaking English instead of Ukrainian.

Why LEGO priority to their fans?
disseny@jogapro.es
Brands have to understand "social needs" of consumers, the elements that make interactions and communication in relation to the brand work.
One of the brands that have more pull between a more varied and diverse audience is Lego. The toy company has managed to create a very powerful brand, one that manages to connect very well with audiences and getting to establish valuable relationships with the public. Although their products are intended, in principle, children, Lego have consumers of all ages and all enthusiastic consumers of the firm.
Lego is, in fact, one of the most solid and solvent lovemarks, the most valuable brand in the world toys and one of the most valuable brands also when we turn to the general list of companies. But what has made Lego to connect with audiences in this way and to make as strong positions in its relationship with the market and consumers?
The company has positioned the consumer at the heart of its strategy and has made consumers become more (and very effective) part of its strategy of brand positioning.
The firm, which has behind a long history that has enabled it to become one of those products that pass from father to son, has established not only a strategy very effective product or a kind of style very recognizable and efficient advertising but also a very strong presence in social networks. Lego has created community (which is what really matters, beyond the figures). Her videos are so successful on YouTube and the content of television and have been able to create very niche strategies on Twitter. And, in general, consumers have become sources of content.

Long Story Short OFF-BROADWAY REVIEWS
Theater: 59E59 Theaters / 59 East 59th St., New York, NY, 10022
A funny, frazzled couple--one Jewish, one Asian-American--careens from first date to old age. Their journey illuminates the challenges and joys of any long-term relationship along the way. Adapted from the two-character play "An Infinite Ache" by David Schulner, "Long Story Short" covers a romance and 50-year marriage in 95 minutes and 17 songs.
NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW OF Long Story Short
'Long Story Short,' Till Death Do Us Part
Alexis Soloski
March 12, 2015: Time is doing odd things on and off Broadway. It's fracturing in "Constellations," hopscotching in "Bright Half Life," and in "Long Story Short," a newish musical by Brendan Milburn and Valerie Vigoda, it is executing a halfhearted loop-de-loop. This two-character, single-set, 90-minute show from Prospect Theater Company follows Charles (Bryce Ryness) and Hope (Pearl Sun) from first date to death. Maybe. Is this really a fast-forward version of their lives, or a fantasy issuing from Hope's tannin-addled brain? (She drank too much bad wine at their first dinner.) That the last scene recreates the opening one blurs easy interpretation. But nothing else about this musical, which relies heavily on stereotype and shortcut, is especially difficult. Charles is Jewish and overeager, Hope is Asian-American and describes herself as uptight, but despite likable performances and efficient direction by Kent Nicholson, the pair never seems fully sketched. (The less said about the brief scene in which they sketch each other's orgasm faces, the better.)
