I was very excited to get my hands on NARS newest foundation. After watching Jackie Aina review it, I knew it was what I had been looking for.
I had been on the hunt for a new foundation, because although I love my Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24H and had been using it since my wedding day (that's three years ago now), I realised that lately when I'd wear it, I would look grey and washed out. So, it was time for something new.
When I watched the Jackie Aina tutorial, the Natural Radiant Longwear foundation wasn't out in the UK yet, so I had to wait a little while, but was so excited when I finally went to Selfridges to get matched and purchase it. I was matched to Marquises, which is a medium/dark shade with a warm undertone.
The Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation boasts 16-hour wear, that is not only lightweight, but works to improve the look of your skin over time. I only wear foundation when I'm going to a wedding, a special event or occasionally for church or when I feel like it, so I'm yet to witness this, but I can truly vouch for how radiant and bright my skin looks when I wear it. I look healthy. I have dry skin, so it's perfect for me. It's full coverage, breathable and buildable – I can put on as much or as little as I want. It doesn't irritate my skin, and by the end of the night, my make-up hasn't faded and my face looks the same.
NARS Radiant Longwear retails for £35, which I think is worth it for a 30ml bottle. And seeing that I don't wear foundation often, this will really go a long way.
This is a close up of me going to a wedding this past weekend. There is no filter on this picture and I haven't edited it in anyway, so that you can get a true idea of what I look like with the foundation on.
Have you tried NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation?
I've only ever tried their concealer which I didnt like but Ive heard only good things about this foundation! I like how radiant you look with it!
Your makeup looks flawless! I just picked the Nars complete radiant tinted moisturizer and I'm excited to start playing around with it!
That foundation looks so pretty.
Your skin is literally GLOWING!! Need to check this out!
Ooh. I was waiting to see it on a woc. Looks wonderful on you. Any idea how these shades match olive toned skin?
I'm glad I could be the first to show it off for you haha. I actually have no idea sorry but you should definitely get yourself matched to your shade.

The determinants of export performance:evidence for manufacturing plants in Ireland and Northern Ireland
Roper, Stephen, Love, James H. and Añón Higón, Dolores (2006). The determinants of export performance:evidence for manufacturing plants in Ireland and Northern Ireland. Scottish Journal of Political Economy, 53 (5), pp. 586-615.
The dramatic GDP and export growth of Ireland over the last decade forms a marked contrast with that of its nearest neighbour Northern Ireland. In Ireland, export volume growth averaged 15.5% p.a. from 1991 to 1999 compared with 6.3% from Northern Ireland. Using data on individual manufacturing plants this paper considers the determinants of export performance in the two areas. Larger, externally owned plants with higher skill levels are found to have the highest export propensities in both areas. Other influences (plant age, R&D, etc.) prove more strongly conditional on location, plant size, and ownership. Structural factors (e.g. ownership, industry) explain almost all of the difference in export propensity between larger plants in Northern Ireland and Ireland but only around one-third of that between smaller plants. Significant differences are also evident between plants in terms of their sources of new technology. For indigenously owned plants, inhouse R&D is important. For externally owned plants, R&D conducted elsewhere in the group - typically outside Ireland and Northern Ireland - proves more significant. This external dependency and lower than expected export propensity on the part of small plants in Northern Ireland represent significant policy challenges for the future.© 2006 Scottish Economic Society.

Carers Rights Day poll: Carers 'not recognised' by friends or family
Unpaid carers missing out on vital support as 'public is unable to recognise friends and family that care'
More than half (51%) believe they 'don't know' a single friend or family member, looking after a loved one, despite 1 in 10 people in the UK being carers.
The general public remain 'in the dark', as a majority drastically underestimate the number of carers in their own family, friendship groups and places of work, according to new research by Carers UK released for Carers Rights Day (24 November).
The research released today shows that more than half (51%) believe they don't know a single family member or friend who cares, whilst as many as 3 in 5 workers (62%) believe they don't know 'any work colleagues' who help look after a loved one. In reality, 1 in 10 (10%) people in the UK are carers and 1 in 9 people in the workforce are juggling their paid job with unpaid caring[1].
The findings come one year after Carers UK's Missing Out report showed the impact of carers not being identified quickly enough. Amongst carers who 'struggled' to recognise their roles, more than half saw their finances (52%) and mental health (78%) negatively affected as a result[2].
Alarmingly, even amongst those members of the public who did manage to recognise that a friend or family member looked after someone, as many as 3 in 5 (58%) did not 'suggest where to find further information on caring' and the number rose to 65% amongst those who knew carers in the workplace.
Amongst all of those polled, including those that had not recognised carers in their social circles or at work, two thirds (67%) said they would feel confident providing 'emotional support' to a new carer. Yet, only 2 in 5 (42%) would feel confident pointing people in the direction of information about caring. Carers UK is asking the public to equip themselves with more knowledge and understanding of how to support carers, to improve confidence in reaching out to carers.
The findings also revealed differences amongst men and women, carers, and non-carers, and those of different ages:
• Gender: Women are more likely to say they know a friend or family member who is a carer (43%) compared with men (34%). Female workers (27%) are also more likely than men (17%) to say they know a colleague who is caring.
Among those that know carers, women were more likely (42%) than men (34%) to have suggested sources of information to friends and family and significantly more likely to have suggested information to colleagues with caring roles (35%) than men (25%).
• Age: Despite being at the peak age of caring themselves, those aged 45-54 are only slightly more likely (40%) to say they have any family or friends that are carers compared with 39% of the wider public.
• Carers and non-carers: Unsurprisingly, those who have never had an unpaid caring role are more likely (59%) to say they don't have any friends or family who care. Only 17% of current carers say they don't have any friends or family that are caring.
Heléna Herklots CBE, Chief Executive of Carers UK, said:
"More and more of us are stepping into caring roles, yet carers all-too-often remain hidden in plain sight at work, in friendships, and even in the families. Often, it takes somebody else to tell us that we are a carer before we recognise ourselves as such.
This year, we are encouraging every member of the public to learn more about caring and where to go for advice and assistance. It is only through our concerted efforts to identify and support carers that we can alleviate some of the emotional and practical challenges facing the 6.5 million people looking after an ill, older or disabled loved one."
Every year, Carers UK uses Carers Rights Day (24 November) to reach the 6.5 million with crucial information about the rights, financial support, and practical help they are entitled to; including benefits, such as Carer's Allowance, respite, equipment and technology.
This year, under the theme of 'Make Connections, Get Support', Carers UK is reaching out beyond the 1 in 10 of us who care, calling on the general public to equip themselves with enough knowledge to feel confident identifying and directing carers towards support.
Carers UK has developed a range of tools in time for Carers Rights Day, to help both the general public and carers early in their caring journey get the information and support they need:
• Looking after someone', its annual guide to carers' rights and the practical and financial support available: www.carersuk.org/help-and-advice/get-resources/looking-after-someone
• Carers UK's local directory, which allows carers to find support hubs, services, respite, and charities near you: www.carersuk.org/help-and-advice/get-support/local-support
• Upfront, the first online guide of its kind gives tailored financial and practical information to those who are new to caring: www.carersuk.org/upfront
• Online factsheets and guides on financial and practical support available for carers: www.carersuk.org/help-and-advice

How Do I Get THAT Tone #2: A Gear Rundown Of Several Legends
Home News Blog How Do I Get THAT Tone #2: A Gear Rundown Of Several Legends
Amps, Gear, Guitars, How Do I Get THAT Tone, Pedals
In the second edition of How Do I Get THAT Tone, we're going to examine the gear setups of several of my favorite guitarists. We're going to go over the guitars, amps, and pedals of some truly wonderful players and investigate how you can imitate their distinctive sound yourself. If interest continues, we may see more of these coming. I'd again like to thank Steve Barber for coming up with this idea in the first place, and if there is another guitarist's rig you would like to see discussed in a future piece, please reach out to me at ben@nycguitarschool.com.
The recently late Eddie Van Halen was one of the most influential guitarists in rock. His dazzling taping technique, high speed picking and warbling phaser tones expanded the vocabulary of the electric guitar and the sounds we associate with rock guitar. Although Van Halen is most identified with a handmade guitar named "Frankenstrat", which used the body and scale length of a Fender Stratocaster, but with a Gibson-style PAF bridge humbucker. While the Frankenstrat itself is obviously not commercially available, replicas are produced by Eddie's own gear company, EVH. Towards the tail end of his career, Eddie primarily used a Wolfgang USA guitar, which was produced by EVH as well. Eddie primarily used Marshall amplifiers during his early work, but switched by the end had switched to his own brand for amps as well as for guitars.
Pedals were an important element to Eddie Van Halen's iconic tones, and when it came to pedals, he was famously an MXR purist. His usage of MXR pedals was so well established then when surveyed, more than six out of ten guitar players named Eddie the single player they most associated with the brand. Although he used a variety of pedals, the single stompbox most essential to Eddie's arsenal was the MXR Phase 90, which can be prominently heard on many of Van Halen's biggest hits. Eddie would later switch to his own signature version of the Phase 90, and the MXR flanger was an important part of his pedalboard as well.
As the frontwoman and guitarist for the soulful southern rock quartet Alabama Shakes, Brittany Howard has established herself as one of the most important figures in rock and roll right now. Her rhythmically tight yet emotionally fluid approach to rhythm guitar has helped set a new standard for bluesy rock players and has become often imitated in only a short amount of time. Her warm, earthy guitar tones are largely created by her use of Gibson SGs, often favoring a white 1963 reissue model that features a third pickup and whammy bar.
Her earthy tones are further emphasized by her use of Orange-brand amplifier cabinets. Her pedal setup is simple, generating her dirtier tones with an Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi fuzz pedal, and enhancing her sparkling cleans with a Boss FRV-1 reverb pedal.
My personal all-time favorite guitarist, Frank Zappa merged dense, complicated harmonies, virtuosic musicianship and absurdist lyrics to create some of the most challenging music to ever achieved anywhere near his degree of commercial success. Even though his songs were filled with satirical lyrics about werewolves, pimps, stinky feet and much more, they were always driven by Zappa's remarkable guitar chops and unique sense of phrasing that borrowed as much from jazz and blues traditions as it did from rock and even avant-garde classical music. Although Zappa used a wide variety of gear throughout his long and prolific career Fender Stratocasters and Gibson SGs were consistent favorites of his, and he could be seen playing various Gibson Les Pauls fairly often as well.
While Zappa experimented as much with his amplifier selection as he did with his guitars, the one for which he is best known was a strange little amp made by a company called Pignose. Zappa would often use a tiny Pignose amp, particularly for his work in the early 70s, to create the jagged, fifthly tones that defined his sound for much of that era. Other than Pignose, Zappa was also known to have had an affinity for Marshall amps, often using them when seeking a more conventional electric guitar tone (). Zappa never experimented with quite as many different pedals as he did guitars and amps, and a Mu-Tron wah, Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi, and MXR flanger were all consistent parts of his board.
Greg Gonzalez
As the mastermind of the beloved dream pop band Cigarettes After Sex, Greg Gonzalez's weightless, chime-like guitar tones have changed the way a whole slew of younger bands consider the role of electric the guitar in an ensemble. His understated, minimalist style leans into the sonic elements he utilizes to create guitar parts that perfectly service whatever it is each song may call for. His distinctive sound is due largely to his near exclusive use of Fly-model guitars, produced by the now-defunct manufacturer Parker. The Fly's use of carbon fiber in place of traditional hardwood and piezoelectric pickups help create the airy, atypical guitar tones that are at the root of Cigarettes After Sex's dreamy sound. The Parker Fly's unusual sound is further exaggerated by Gonzalez's use of Ampeg SVT amplifiers, Neunaber Stereo Wet Reverb pedal, and a Boss DD-3 Digital Delay pedal.

3 Is Parsley Good for Losing Pounds?
4 What is Parsley Herb Good for Nutritionally?
Along with carrots, parsnips, fennel and celery, parsley is a member of the Umbelliferae family, a group of fragrant, hollow-stemmed plants, many of which have edible roots. Parsley is a flavorful, nutrient-rich vegetable that was first cultivated by the ancient Romans and Greeks for use as a medicinal food, according to the "Encyclopedia of Healing Foods." It's a rich source of vitamins A, C and K, folate, potassium, iron, fiber and antioxidant compounds. Today, fresh parsley is most commonly used as an herb or garnish. Like other highly nutritious leafy greens, however, parsley can also be consumed as a vegetable.
Although there are many types of parsley, the most widely available varieties are curly parsley and Italian, or flat-leaf, parsley. The curly variety has compact, bright green leaves that furl inward along the edges, while flat-leaf parsley is characterized by smooth, darker leaves that closely resemble cilantro leaves in both shape and size. Italian parsley is more aromatic and flavorful than curly parsley, which is slightly more bitter tasting. While the curly and Italian varieties are cultivated for their leaves, the less common root parsley is grown for its edible root, which looks just like a parsnip. Whereas parsnips taste sweetly spicy, however, root parsley has a more herbal, earthy flavor reminiscent of flat-leaf parsley.
In restaurants, fresh curly parsley is often placed alongside the main dish to help fill the plate. Used this way, it's a garnish that many restaurant patrons opt not to eat, but chewing on a sprig of parsley after finishing a meal can help cleanse your palate and freshen your breath — a practice discovered by the ancient Romans. Fresh flat-leaf parsley is considered to have a wider range of culinary uses because its flavor holds up better in warm dishes. Chopped flat-leaf parsley is often scattered over grilled fish or chicken, stirred into sauces and soups and incorporated into fresh salads. Like parsnips, root parsley is typically served roasted or in soups and stews.
In the Middle East where it originated, parsley is the main ingredient in tabbouleh, a traditional cold minced salad that also contains bulgur wheat, garlic, fresh mint, lemon juice and olive oil. Serve tabbouleh as a refreshing, warm-weather side dish, mix it into salsa or use it as a sandwich spread. Fresh parsley is ideal for juicing, enhancing the nutritional value of a glass of vegetable juice while contributing very few calories. For a fresh take on salad, toss a cup of whole flat-leaf parsley leaves with an equal amount of tender, milder-tasting leaf lettuce and top the mixture with your favorite salad vegetables. Alternatively, use parsley as the main green in a fresh salad, combining it with thinly sliced fennel, orange segments, grape tomatoes and toasted pumpkin seeds.
While the flavor of parsley is relatively pleasing to the majority of palates, it's also strong enough to mask the odor and taste of other aromatic and flavorful foods, including garlic and onions. Its distinct taste is largely the result of its high chlorophyll content, a property that helps give parsley its status as a health food. Comparatively, parsley is a significantly richer source of betacarotene, vitamin C, folate, iron and potassium than basil, chives, dill and cilantro, according to the book "Wellness Foods A to Z." Mint provides similar betacarotene and folate levels, but supplies far less vitamin C — and far more iron and potassium — than parsley. As such, the combination of parsley and mint makes tabbouleh a highly nutritious salad.

When you're looking for advice on who to pick on game day in the NFL, nobody beats R.J. White. In fact, if you placed $100 on each of R.J. White's NFL picks over the last two-plus seasons, you'd be up over $2,500! Smart bettors tail his selections.
The stats guru, whose picks are coveted by fans everywhere, has also cashed huge in the world's most prestigious handicapping tournament, the Westgate Las Vegas SuperContest, twice in the past four years. Now, he's back and crushing his SuperContest selections again in 2019, easily cashing with the Rams (PK), Giants (+9.5) and 49ers (+2.5) last week.
Using the Las Vegas SuperContest lines for Week 15, we can tell you White loves the Chargers (+2.5) at home against the Minnesota Vikings.
"The Vikings seem like they're rolling, but they've covered just two of their last six game," White told SportsLine. "They also struggle on the road, going 3-4 against the spread and straight-up on the year. The Chargers have been dominating opponents statistically for weeks, but often find different ways to lose. But this is a healthier Chargers team that is about to hit its stride, and with Derwin James back, I believe they'll be able to slow down Kirk Cousins. The Vikings' defense hasn't been as dominant as in recent years either, and Philip Rivers can find success against them. With the Vikings in a clear look-ahead spot with Green Bay on deck, this game has prime upset potential."

Thoughts from the road. Why I run?
Recently I set out on a early morning Long Run. It was Florida Cold at 48 degrees and it was hours before sun up. I was questioning my own sanity as I put my hat and gloves on for what I planned to do.
I have no marathon on the horizon, nothing to prove, not a soul to impress and I even like to think that I'm inwardly satisfied with my level of fitness. Why then? Why, on this recent Saturday morning was I up before dawn, staring down a Long Straight Road with plans of hitting double digit mileage before 7am??
How do I feel?? Absolutely Fantastic!!
And that's just it…there is no real reason why I got up to run, no part of any plan or training model… Just a faith and understanding that THIS FEELING would come…and THIS FEELING will last!! This Sense of Accomplishment in something that for all intents and purposes made no sense at all!!! I had no reason to be up before 4am, no reason to run the miles… No Reason At All!! Just a faith and understanding that I needed to…I needed a Running Refresher.
I DO KNOW that I HOPE you find YOUR FAITH and YOUR UNDERSTANDING on YOUR RUNS!! Be it early morning long runs, afternoon short runs, evening easy runs or weekend race days!! May You enjoy the Refreshment that Running Allows.

BALTIMORE – Right-hander Dylan Bundy, one of the longest-tenured Oriole, was dealt Wednesday to the Los Angeles Angels for four pitching prospects – right-handers Isaac Mattson, Kyle Bradish, Zach Peek and Kyle Brnovich – according to an industry source.
Bundy, a former top prospect who had long worked to live up to his potential, became another outgoing piece of the team's continued teardown this offseason after infielder Jonathan Villar was traded earlier this week for a rookie-level pitching prospect.
This time, the Orioles got a larger haul for their longest-tenured starting pitcher.
Mattson, 24, is closest to the majors of the four. A 2017 draftee, Mattson jumped from High-A Inland Empire to Triple-A Salt Lake in 2019, striking out 110 with a 1.01 WHIP in 73 1/3 innings and a 2.33 ERA. Bradish, 23, was a fourth-round draft pick out of New Mexico State in 2018 and struck out 120 batters with a 1.42 WHIP and a 4.28 ERA in 24 games (18 starts) for Inland Empire.
Peek, 21, and Brnovich, 22, were each 2019 draft picks, with Peek selected in the sixth round and Brnovich in the eighth, though neither pitched after signing.
While far from the rotation-topping star the Orioles hoped he'd be when they took him fourth overall in the 2011 MLB draft, though before elbow injuries stunted his progress, Bundy was baseball's top prospect after the 2012 season.
By 2016, Bundy was out of minor-league options and his major-league career began out of the Orioles' bullpen. By midseason that year, he was in the rotation.
Bundy had a 4.02 ERA that year as the Orioles made their last playoff appearance, and has been a starter for them ever since, pitching on Opening Day in 2018. His first full season in the rotation in 2017 featured the reintroduction of his slider to his arsenal, giving Bundy a swing-and-miss pitch and allowing him to have what has proven to be his best season as a starter – 13-9 with a 4.24 ERA in 28 starts.
He hit the 30-start threshold in 2018 and again in 2019, but took a step back in those seasons. In 2018, Bundy had a 5.45 ERA and allowed a league-high 41 home runs. He cut that number down to 29 this season, and improved some as he worked to alter his pitch mix and work in his secondaries more in lieu of using a hittable fastball.
Because of those changes, there's still the idea that getting Bundy to take another step with his secondary pitches and further embracing pitching that way could help him improve even more.
The Angels are taking that chance, and will have two seasons before Bundy reaches free agency.
Wednesday's trade comes two days after the contract tender deadline for arbitration-eligible players Monday, a day when the Orioles signed left-hander Richard Bleier to a contract for 2020, tendered contracts to Trey Mancini, Mychal Givens, Hanser Alberto, Miguel Castro, and Bundy, and traded Villar to the Miami Marlins for minor-league pitcher Easton Lucas.
In trading Villar and now Bundy, the Orioles shed a projected $15 million in payroll for 2020 to two of their arbitration-eligible players who were forecasted to make the most money of any of those seven initial eligible players.
Bundy being dealt leaves a rotation that features All-Star left-hander John Means, a returning Alex Cobb, and Asher Wojciechowski. Executive vice president/general manager Mike Elias said this week that adding rotation depth would be a priority this offseason.
The Athletic first reported Bundy was traded, and ESPN.com first reported the return.

Preparing to Build the Temple
1Now Solomon purposed to build a temple for the name of the Lord, and a royal palace for himself. 2And Solomon assigned 70,000 men to bear burdens and 80,000 to quarry in the hill country, and 3,600 to oversee them. 3And Solomon sent word to Hiram the king of Tyre: "As you dealt with David my father and sent him cedar to build himself a house to dwell in, so deal with me. 4Behold, I am about to build a house for the name of the Lord my God and dedicate it to him for the burning of incense of sweet spices before him, and for the regular arrangement of the showbread, and for burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths and the new moons and the appointed feasts of the Lord our God, as ordained forever for Israel. 5The house that I am to build will be great, for our God is greater than all gods. 6But who is able to build him a house, since heaven, even highest heaven, cannot contain him? Who am I to build a house for him, except as a place to make offerings before him? 7So now send me a man skilled to work in gold, silver, bronze, and iron, and in purple, crimson, and blue fabrics, trained also in engraving, to be with the skilled workers who are with me in Judah and Jerusalem, whom David my father provided. 8Send me also cedar, cypress, and algum timber from Lebanon, for I know that your servants know how to cut timber in Lebanon. And my servants will be with your servants, 9to prepare timber for me in abundance, for the house I am to build will be great and wonderful. 10I will give for your servants, the woodsmen who cut timber, 20,000 cors1 of crushed wheat, 20,000 cors of barley, 20,000 baths2 of wine, and 20,000 baths of oil."
11Then Hiram the king of Tyre answered in a letter that he sent to Solomon, "Because the Lord loves his people, he has made you king over them." 12Hiram also said, "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who has given King David a wise son, who has discretion and understanding, who will build a temple for the Lord and a royal palace for himself.
13"Now I have sent a skilled man, who has understanding, Huram-abi, 14the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre. He is trained to work in gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone, and wood, and in purple, blue, and crimson fabrics and fine linen, and to do all sorts of engraving and execute any design that may be assigned him, with your craftsmen, the craftsmen of my lord, David your father. 15Now therefore the wheat and barley, oil and wine, of which my lord has spoken, let him send to his servants. 16And we will cut whatever timber you need from Lebanon and bring it to you in rafts by sea to Joppa, so that you may take it up to Jerusalem."
17Then Solomon counted all the resident aliens who were in the land of Israel, after the census of them that David his father had taken, and there were found 153,600. 18Seventy thousand of them he assigned to bear burdens, 80,000 to quarry in the hill country, and 3,600 as overseers to make the people work.

HRANA News Agency – The Prosecutor's office have not agreed with the medical furlough of Ms Tahereh Jafari, political prisoner of the women's ward of Evin prison.
According to the report of Human Rights Activists News Agency in Iran (HRANA), Tahereh Jafari has spent over half of her one-year sentence on charges of propaganda against the regime and has had the legal possibility of parole since long time ago.
Tahereh Jafari, 54, suffers from a slipped disc and heart problems as the doctors have confirmed on her arrival at the prison and also after request of intolerance of serving imprisonment that she needs constant medical care and should be sent to a hospital every three months for treatment.

TSA Screens More Than 10 Million Passengers Over Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend
Specifically, on Sunday, More than 2.45 million passengers passed through U.S. airports.
Alison Fox
By Alison Fox November 29, 2021
More than 2.45 million passengers passed through airports in the United States on Sunday after the Thanksgiving holiday, the most since the COVID-19 pandemic halted travel nearly two years ago.
Sunday's travel numbers were a significant increase from last year when just over 1.17 million passengers traveled through U.S. airports on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, according to the Transportation Security Administration's data. However, it was still well below the equivalent Sunday in 2019 when the TSA screened more than 2.88 million people, the highest checkpoint volume in the agency's 20-year history, TSA spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein tweeted.
Overall, Farbstein said passenger numbers reached 20.9 million for the previous 10 days, including Sunday, coming in at about 89% of pre-pandemic levels.
While Sunday was the busiest day of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, just over 2.3 million people traveled through airports on the Wednesday before Turkey Day. The previous record for most passengers screened in a single day since the start of the pandemic was Friday, Nov. 19, when over 2.24 million travelers passed through checkpoints.
In total, the TSA screened more than 10.1 million travelers from Wednesday through Sunday, on par with the Fourth of July, when the agency also saw more than 10 million passengers.
Experts predict Christmas holiday numbers could go even beyond Thanksgiving, though much remains up in the air with the emergence of the new and concerning Omicron variant. Despite opening up to vaccinated foreign travelers earlier this month, the U.S. on Monday implemented a ban on travel from South Africa along with seven other neighboring countries.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, Biden's chief medical advisor, said it will take about two weeks to learn "more definitive information on the transmissibility, severity, and other characteristics of the variant," according to a White House statement. He told ABC's "This Week" on Sunday that pandemic-era travel is "always risky" and recommended that Americans who do decide to travel get vaccinated and wear a mask on flights and in airports.
Of course, masks are required on planes and in airports since a federal transportation mask mandate was extended until at least Jan. 18, 2022.

Abraham Adolf Petschek, Halevi (* 21. Mai 1834 in Kolin; † 29. Mai 1905 in Wien) war ein österreich-ungarischer Börsenmakler und Bankier, dessen Insolvenz im Jahr 1873 den Wiener Börsenkrach auslöste.

Familie
Abraham Petschek, genannt Adolf, war das achte Kind von Israel Petschek, Halevi (1789–1852) und Alina Petschek, geb. Raudnitz (~1795–1865). Er hatte neun Geschwister: Jakob (1817–1822), Salomon (1819, Kindstod nach 6 Wochen), Joseph (1820–1835), Moses (1822–1888), Samuel (1825–1890), Amalia (1828–1835), Lucia, genannt Leny (1831–1905), Anna (1836–1917) und Emanuel (1839, Kindstod nach 5 Monaten). Der Geschlechtsname Halevi weist auf Nachkommen vom Stamme der Leviten hin und ist in männlicher Linie erblich.

Die Familie lebte in ärmlichen Verhältnissen. Sein Vater verdiente den Lebensunterhalt als Hausierer. Vermutlich leistete Adolf Petschek nach Vollendung des 17. Lebensjahres einen dreijährigen Militärdienst und zog unmittelbar danach nach Wien, wo er die gebürtige Wienerin Julie Kohn (~1838–1885) heiratete. Aus der Ehe gingen sieben Kinder hervor, die alle in Wien geboren wurden:

 Isidor (1859–1916); verstarb in New York, wo er als Rechtsanwalt tätig war (ist nicht zu verwechseln mit gleichnamigen Cousin)
 Charlotte (1858–?); heiratete den Kunsthändler Samuel Kende
 Armin (1861–1920); gestorben in Wien, wo er als Oberbezirksarzt tätig war
 Johann (1862–?)
 Max (1862–1934); verstarb in New York, wo er als Juwelier tätig war
 Sigmund (1863–?)
 Kamilla (1877–1922)

Adolf Petschek gilt als Begründer der Wiener Stammlinie der Unternehmerdynastie Petschek.

Wirken
1864 erhielt Adolf Petschek im Alter von 29 Jahren eine Zulassung als freiberuflicher Börsenmakler an der Wiener Börse. Zusätzlich erlangte er vier Jahre später eine "Bewilligung zum Betriebe des Geldwechslergewerbes". Das Stammhaus der Wiener Petscheks befand sich in der Praterstraße 25 im Gemeindebezirk Leopoldstadt. Sein Maklerbüro für Industrie- und Wertpapiere hatte Adolf Petschek in der Strauchgasse 3, damals genau gegenüber der Wiener Börse. Innerhalb kurzer Zeit erwarb er ein Vermögen von 3 Millionen Gulden. Diese Summe entsprach im Jahr 2010 inflationsbereinigt der Kaufkraft von rund 40,2 Millionen Euro.

Sein Kommissionshaus galt als solide, was sich später jedoch als nicht zutreffend herausstellte. Zur Rekrutierung neuer Klienten schaltete Petschek reichsweit mehrspaltige Anzeigen in sehr vielen Zeitungen. Dazu zählten nahezu täglich beispielsweise das Neue Wiener Tagblatt, die Neue Militärzeitung, das Wiener Sportblatt, das Centralblatt für die Interessen der Pferdezucht und den Sport, die Troppauer Zeitung, die Laibacher Zeitung, und die Bohemia. Wie er vorgab, zählte zu seinen Kommittenten die Crème de la Crème der Wiener Gesellschaft – Grafen, Fürsten, bis hin zum Herzog von Modena. Seine Kundenkartei soll sich wie der Hofgotha gelesen haben.

Durch derartige Medienpräsenz entstand der Eindruck einer hohen Solvenz. Dabei hätte leicht festgestellt werden können, dass seine Bewertungen umso besser ausfielen, je öfter er inserierte. So schrieb beispielsweise der Bote für Tirol und Vorarlberg, wo Petschek ebenso regelmäßig Annoncen schaltete, am 8. April 1871 gleich auf Seite 1 des Anzeigenteils: "Unsere geehrten Leser machen wir auf das heutige Inserat des Herrn Adolf Petschek, Bank- & Börsengeschäft in Wien, besonders aufmerksam und können nur noch beifügen, dass das Haus Petschek seit seinem mehrjährigen Bestehen sich des besten Rufes erfreut."

Im Februar 1873 gründete Adolf Petschek die Österreichische allgemeine Maklerbank als Aktiengesellschaft. Der Wirtschaftsoptimismus dieser Zeit und die Aussicht auf rasche Gewinne vermischten sich zu einem verhängnisvollen Gründungsfieber. Dies traf auch auf Finanzdienstleistungen zu. Während im Jahr 1867 in der österreichischen Reichshälfte lediglich elf Aktienbanken, einschließlich der Nationalbank existierten, stieg die Zahl bis Mai 1873 auf 141 an. Bei den sogenannten Maklerbanken handelte es sich zumeist um Spekulations- und Schwindelbanken, die Eduard März als "ureigenste Kinder der neuen Gründungsperiode" bezeichnete.

Zur Finanzierung von Bauprojekten gaben die Maklerbanken leichtfertig Pfandbriefe heraus, denen als Sicherheit oft nur halbfertige Häuser, später gar nur geplante Häuser dienten. Ebenso brachten sie Aktien in Umlauf, bei denen, wenn überhaupt, nur Teilsummen gesichert waren. Die später fälligen Nachzahlungsbeträge sollten einfach aus Kursgewinnen beglichen werden. Adolf Petschek galt dabei als König der Maklergeschäfte. Seine Bank gab 16.000 solcher Aktien heraus. Darüber hinaus hatte er Bargeldzertifikate im Wert von 8 Millionen Gulden in Umlauf gebracht, denen gemäß seinen Angaben ein ausgewiesenes Eigenkapital in Höhe von 2 Millionen Gulden gegenüberstand.

In den Morgenstunden des 9. Mai 1873 platzte die Spekulationsblase. Adolf Petschek musste Insolvenz anmelden und gab damit das Signal zum allgemeinen Zusammenbruch. Damit war der Damm gebrochen. Der Konkurs seines Unternehmens erzwang die zeitweilige Aussetzung des Börsenverkehrs und löste den Wiener Börsenkrach aus. Noch am gleichen Vormittag folgten 120 weitere Bankeninsolvenzen. Innerhalb weniger Wochen fielen die Wertpapierkurse ins Bodenlose. Die Krise weitete sich auf Frankreich sowie die USA aus und erreichte im Herbst Deutschland. Die sich daran anschließende Große Depression dauerte bis zum Jahr 1896.

Das Ereignis, welches die weltweite Wirtschaftskrise auslöste, wurde in damaligen Zeitungen zunächst als "Petschek-Affäre" bezeichnet. Erst später setzte sich der Begriff "Wiener Börsenkrach" durch. Bis heute findet sich in der Berichterstattung über den Crash der Hinweis, dass Adolf Petscheks Bank- und Kommissionshaus als sehr solide galt. Zu dieser Legende trug maßgeblich die Wiener Handelspresse bei, wo Petschek durchgehend große Anzeigen inseriert hatte. Einen Tag nach der Pleite veröffentlichte das Blatt auf der Titelseite folgendes:

Diese Darstellung übernahmen nahezu wörtlich verschiedene in- und ausländische Zeitungen. Kurze Zeit später stellte sich jedoch heraus, dass ihm überwiegend "kleine Leute" ihre Ersparnisse anvertraut hatten. Die Wiener Börsenkammer setzte eine Kommission ein und erhob nach Abschluss der Prüfung im Dezember 1873 Strafanzeige gegen Adolf Petschek. Seine Bank verfügte nicht über das von ihm ausgewiesene Eigenkapital in Höhe von 2 Millionen Gulden. Die Kommission konnte lediglich einen Kassenbestand von 42.000 Gulden feststellten, der aber auch nicht mehr da war, da Petschek angab, nach der Insolvenzeröffnung damit noch offene Handwerksrechnung beglichen zu haben.

Darüber hinaus ermittelten die Prüfer, dass bei der Bank gar kein Effektenkonto existierte und überhaupt keine Buchführung stattgefunden hatte. Gemäß dem Kommissionsbericht führte Petschek Gläubiger hinters Licht, indem er unter anderem Wertpapiere von Immobilien in Ungarn verkaufte, die es nicht gab. Wörtlich wurde er als "Placht des Großkapitals" bezeichnet. Die Ermittler waren davon überzeugt, dass Adolf Petschek noch über ein hohes Privatvermögen verfügte, was jedoch zu damaliger Zeit nicht nachgewiesen werden konnte. Tatsächlich hatte er nach dem Zusammenbruch noch eine bedeutende Anzahl von Effekten angekauft und teure Wertsachen erworben, darunter Teppiche für mehrere Tausend Gulden.

Schließlich ging es noch um den Tatbestand der Steuerhinterziehung, woraufhin er Selbstanzeige erstattete, um nicht bestraft zu werden. Das Verfahren musste im April 1874 eingestellt werden, da zu dieser Zeit fundamentale Rechtsgrundlagen für den Wertpapierhandel fehlten. Erst das am 4. April 1875 in Österreich-Ungarn erlassene "Börse-Gesetz betreffend die Handelsmäkler und Sensale" und die "Ministerial-Verordnung für die Börsen in Wien, Triest und Prag" vom 19. April 1875 schufen eine Rechtsnorm. In der Folgezeit betätigte sich Adolf Petschek nicht mehr im Börsengeschäft und lebte als Privatier. Seine Söhne Isidor und Max wanderten nach Nordamerika aus. Sein Bruder Moses Petschek, der über ihn ebenfalls Aktien erworben hatte, gab seinen Söhnen mit auf den Weg, dass man "im Geschäftsleben nicht einmal dem eigenen Bruder trauen dürfe".

Im Jahr 1875 erwarb Adolf Petschek ein 6200 m² großes Anwesen in Matzleinsdorf. Zudem besaß er seit 1872 ein Stadthaus in der Börsegasse 12, welches er bis zu seinem Tod als Eigentümer bewohnte. Am 30. März 1885 verstarb im Alter von 47 Jahren seine Ehefrau, Julie Petschek, an Diabetes. Kurz danach ging er eine zweite Ehe ein und heiratete die aus Jaroslau (Galizien) stammende Sabine Blume. Adolf Petschek verstarb im 72. Lebensjahr nach einem langen Leiden. Sein Grab befindet sich auf dem Wiener Zentralfriedhof (Gruppe 5b, Reihe 14, Grabnummer 23).

ten days of phentermine left.
Maybe the phentermine will keep working for you beyond 3 months? I think someone said that in the comments a few posts ago. It's not like there's some magic cut-off! Here's to the phentermine working a bit longer to make your job easier, but in the meantime you are feeling much better! Since this weight loss gig is partially psychological, you will probably be just fine getting the rest of the weight off without the phentermine.
Congratulations on size 16!! You are making great strides Lyn.
I have been wondering how your daughter is.
Bravo on your success so far. I think you should talk with your doctor, assess your side effects, and see if she'll prescribe more. I suspect that's a possibility as long as it works for you and there are no contraindications. My mom was on it for eight months before transitioning to a different weight loss drug (that she's been on for four years), and it was great for her, allowing her to go from 180 to 125 and not regain or yo yo.
When I started taking Adderall for ADD (which works the same way as phentermine), I immediately noticed a drop off in appetite. The extreme effects only lasted a few months, but it's continued to act as a very mild appetite suppressant for the last almost decade, that I know has been instrumental in my leaving obesity and maintaining a healthy weight. It was suddenly "Ah. I wonder if this is how others feel- not obsessed with food/hunger all the time." Whatever checmical reactions it causes make me feel normal when it comes to food, for the first time in my life, which has been such a relief. I mean, honestly, the weight loss is great, but the obsession with food- the fact that it was always there, either as an active thought, or somewhere present, in the background of my brain, was maddening. So much freedom.
There's a lot of baggage around medications that help you lose weight- thoughts that you're "cheating"- that weight loss should be solely about mastering will power- a history of some unsafe drugs, etc. But think how quickly you'd take medicine for any other health problem. Sure you'd want to know about safety risks, but if fixing a health problem meant taking a medication, you almost certainly would.
If you do go off phentermine, steel yourself for food obsession to a crazy degree. I'm not trying to scare you, but the reason most people gain the weight back so quickly when they go off it, is not because they return to "normal" eating patterns. At least for me, when I've gone off Adderall, I become this ravenous, insatiable beast of a person. Food turns from something I can make conscious choices about to almost this physiological impulse. It's intense and demoralizing, but I've gone of Adderall a few times in the last several years, and being prepared for it has helped.

This was a short break specifically designed for the group who had a 'wish list' of several species such as Dupont's Lark, Wallcreeper, Red necked Nightjar, Red knobbed Coot, Lammergeier and Citril Finch. It was a very enjoyable experience with friends that were both terrific company but also very good and keen in the field. Despite the time constraints of just a few days we managed to cover a lot of ground seeing a tremendous mix of species as well as most for their targets. Not only did we focus on the birds but also covered a lot of other forms of wildlife as you will see from the lists below along with some terrific locations. None more so than a quick visit to the ruined 'Old Town of Belchite' - a haunting memory of the Spanish Civil War desimated by Francos army after a long seige where 1000's of people lost their lives. It is though the wonderful and diverse natural beauty of Aragon that creates a lasting memory, from the snow-clad peaks of the High Pyrenees to the Moonscape-like steppes of El Planeron.
Some of the highlights of the short break included seeing all 8 species of lark in one day, watching Lammergeiers soar over the hotel, Northern, Black & Black eared Wheatears in one small area, superb views of a pair of Wallcreepers, point blank Red-necked Nightjars, Citril Finches feeding on Teasel heads amongst stunning mountains and a good comparison of Balearic & Cory's Shearwaters.
Below is a species list for all things identified with some extra text for the birds.
