ANDRES LATORRE AND GARNET PATTERSON JOIN UNITED AUTOSPORTS FOR 2022 MICHELIN LE MANS CUP CAMPAIGN
Latorre and Patterson to make United Autosports debut in 2022
United Autosports to welcome new sponsor, Revere Coffee to the team
Revere Coffee livery for Ligier JS P320 for Le Mans Cup season
Ligier JS P320 3D United Autosport Revere Final
United Autosports are pleased to confirm that Andres Latorre and Garnet Patterson will join their Michelin Le Mans Cup team for the 2022 season.
Andres and Garnet will be making their United Autosports debut next year, joining the team for the first time, racing one of their Ligier JS P320 sportscars. Andres and Garnet's Ligier JS P320 will carry a special Revere Coffee livery, mixing branding elements of new sponsor Revere Coffee, while staying recognisably a United Autosports race car. Revere Coffee will therefore become the team's official coffee partner for the 2022 season.
Andres and Garnet have previously raced in the Michelin Le Mans Cup, having entered the Road to Le Mans event last season, where they finished a fantastic sixth in the first race of the weekend. They also entered the Spa round ahead of pulling together a full season campaign for 2022. Andres has also raced in the Australian Prototype Series, while Garnet has raced successfully in various prototype series and classes, including the Asian Le Mans Series and the FRD LMP3 Series in China.
The upcoming 2022 Michelin Le Mans Cup marks the sixth consecutive year United Autosports have entered the ELMS support series. They have also previously confirmed three other pairings for the 2022 season as Shaun and Max Lynn join their Le Mans Cup team, racing alongside John Schauerman and Wayne Boyd in the #23 Ligier and Daniel Schneider and Andy Meyrick in the #32 Ligier.
The Le Mans Cup season begins at Paul Ricard, France in April.
Andres Latorre:
"Ever since I started to follow endurance racing, I have aspired to race with United Autosports. I would like to thank Richard, Zak and the whole United Autosports team for entrusting Garnet and myself to be part of the team. We are also super excited to announce an official partnership between Revere Coffee and United Autosports, as both brands stand by the same values. Revere Coffee is a premium coffee brand for life in the fast lane. We can't wait to get the season underway in Michelin Le Mans Cup. We see the series as a great platform to move up the prototype ladder. The hard work hasn't stopped, I'm training hard physically and mentally every day to make sure we bring success to the team in 2022."
Garnet Patterson:
"I'm really excited to be joining United Autosports in 2022. The team has an incredible reputation with Richard and Zak steering the ship, and I can't wait to get stuck in and represent the team and the Revere brand with Andres. After two rounds in Europe this season, our aim is to build on our results and deliver the team wins and podiums next year. The future of prototypes is bright, with the introduction of LMH/LMDh over the next few seasons – and being with a team such as United Autosports, who has a large global presence and interest in the future of motorsport is a great opportunity for myself, Andres and the Revere brand for our long-term plans."
"We'd like to welcome Andres, Garnet and the Revere Coffee brand to the team for 2022. The new livery looks great with the Revere colours, but also still looking recognisably United. We have four great line ups now for the upcoming Le Mans Cup season. I'm looking forward to seeing how they all get on."
"I'm pleased to welcome Andres and Garnet to the team for the 2022 Michelin Le Mans Cup. They have some experience of the championship already, which will stand them in good stead heading into 2022. They had a great result at the Road to Le Mans event, finishing sixth, which isn't easy in such a huge grid, so I've got my fingers crossed that we are going to be able to get some solid results next year. I'm also pleased to welcome the Revere Coffee brand to the team as our official coffee supplier for the season. I'm looking forward to working with them over the course of the year."

Each crystal ball is handmade with 30 crystal beads.
For my last brief in uni, I designed and made this functional envelope ring out of copper metal.
To show you a little of what I do at uni, I designed and made these series of rings, which was a response to a building in Leeds, Broadcasting Tower. By taking sections of the building I photo-etched the patterns and used them for the rings. They are made from copper metal and liver of sulphur (which created the black colour effect) love using this stuff.
CongratuLations..... I will email the winner with further details!!
Look out for future competititons on my blog!
I have this popular funky assorted Fruity Ring up for grabs!!!!
Sorry havent been on here a while been so busy with uni work soo thought I should update with some new pieces of my fruity range.


Detoxification has become a buzzword in healthcare. Unquestionably when performed correctly it works. Otherwise, so many people would not be interested in detoxification programs. But detoxification also comes with a stigma. Many hear detoxification and shun the idea because they associated it with frequent trips to the restroom and feeling poor. If this is what you experience with detoxification, you are not undergoing an adequate detoxification process. In fact, you may be doing your body more harm than good.
Detoxification is an important concept in today's world. We are inundated with toxic chemicals and substances from nearly every direction. As we become a more industrialized society, chemicals that did not exist 50 years ago now saturate our environment. Those that we deemed toxic decades ago remain because they don't breakdown efficiently. This is a real problem as bodies have the same burden. While we have effective means to breakdown some toxicants, not all are so easily transformed and released from our system. Thus our body needs support. Add to this picture the fact that we produce our own toxins that have to be equally eliminated. As you can see the load of toxins can become burdensome rather quickly. With this toxic burden often come many common symptoms. These include fatigue, weight loss, allergies, and gastrointestinal dysfunction just to name a few.
Detoxification can seem like a confusing term. Much of this has originated from the idea of detoxification being confused with colon cleansing, or as it should more accurately be stated colon purging. When I speak of detoxification, we are referring to a completely different process. Detoxification, or as the research community calls it detoxification, is a true bodily process. It is something that your body performs on a daily basis. Without it you would accumulate numerous internal toxins that would damage the body. When we speak of physiologic detoxification, we are actually referring to the process of transforming a harmful substance into one that is less damaging to the body and eliminating it through the liver and ultimately the bowels. For this to happen, purging to the bowels is not required, and further not recommended.
Detoxification has numerous benefits, the most profound of which is the reduction of chemical substances that promote inflammation and degeneration of our bodily systems. As these systems degenerate, the body becomes less efficient as it is becoming toxic. The human body can deal with some toxic burden, but the system cannot handle an accumulation of toxins, whether environmental or produced from within. When our inherent detoxification systems are functioning appropriately, many of the common symptoms noted above become less significant. If the body is not focused on dealing with the strain of toxins, it can increase the resources needed for energy production, promoting a healthy immune system and optimizing bowel function.
Since detoxification is founded in good health that instinctively means that the Paleo Diet must be a part of it. The Paleo Diet has some true advantages when it comes to daily maintenance of detoxification or application of a detoxification program. Foremost, the Paleo Diet provides adequate protein. Protein is essential to maintaining good liver function and without it, the liver lacks the resources to efficiently clear toxins through the second of its two stages. Additionally, the diet emphasizes the incorporation of vegetables and fruits. These have 2 key advantages, fiber and antioxidants. Fiber is necessary as it provides a binding site for toxins so that they can be eliminated. Antioxidants are needed to reduce the inflammatory load that can present as toxins are being eliminated. These same foods also provide the nutrients needed to support the phase one of two that is a part of detoxification by the liver.
A successful detox begins with the Paleo Diet. When using the Paleo Diet, you are incorporating foods that are naturally nourishing to the body, provide the essential nutrients needed to support the body's detox process, and avoiding the consumption of foods that are themselves toxic to the body. If you are serious about detoxification, you must follow through on the Paleo Diet. The best part is you will get to enjoy tasty, nutritious food while supporting your health at the same time.


Welcome to the Visual Media Church Builders Program. We are so thankful that so many of you share and recommend VMC, we would never have grown to become one of the largest providers of media for churches in the world without the help from our members.
So what is the Builders program?
This builders program has been designed to reward people who share VMC in social media groups or recommend us to their friends by giving back to them parts of each new members subscription fee. We have members who are always willing to share about us in groups and we want to start rewarding them with commissions from their sharing.
You sign up by clicking the 'sign up now' button below. When you have entered all your information on the form you will given a unique link to our website that will track for 30 days all clicks that come from that link. Thats it. If you share about us with that link and someone signs up you will make a commission on sign up. So… you share you we reward you. Simple enough?
We have 2 tiers of the Builders Program. Tier 1 you will 30% percent of all sales. Once 10 people have purchased using your link you will be invited to Tier 2 of the Program which pays 50% of all sales.
We are not asking you spam or post your link in any place that does not allow it. If someone requests that you don't post we highly recommend that you do not post again. We really appreciate you supporting us in other groups and do try to adhere to all group rules and only post when asked for recommendations.
Can I sign up as an indivudal?
Yes you can and this probably the best way to do it. Most likely it is your church signed up as a member with VMC, but you as the individual are giving the recommendation to people. We don't want dishonest or fake recommendations like others may have. We want our members to already be telling people about VMC, this is just a way for us to reward the members who are already doing it.
Are commissions paid once or multiple times?
How long after they click will i get credit for the commission?

I wish I had known about this Proverb some years ago when I had to refuse to stand surety for a Christian friend. He had mismanaged his financial affairs terribly. While I helped as and where I could the request to stand surety was one I knew was one that I could not afford to agree to.
That's why somebody just needs to GIVE me a car. I wouldn't have to go in debt, nor would the person giving it. Sounds like a plan to me.

Be that as it may, as a student of this degree I would like to comment on what is happening between the walls of engineering schools, specifically in the computer science; And with it help to decide to those who still are not clear where they want to enter, be it to join the computer or to flee from it; to give a pat on the back and encouragement to those who are already suffering, and to give the congratulations to those who have finished the degree.
As many of my colleagues have said repeatedly, the first thing you must learn is to suffer and overcome you continuously, the world of engineering requires a very large capacity for abstraction, but if we get into the field of computing, this is returns primordial, you must know how to work with abstract aspects, the first thing that will get you will surely be object-oriented programming, and you will hardly know for sure what an object is until certain months have passed.
While programs, it is you who have to shape in your head what you are typing, there are no photos, there is no graphical representation of the structures you are working with, you must adapt your thinking to what you are dedicating.
Second point to take into account: mathematics and physics are important and necessary, let's take into account that the first ones that were dedicated to this world were engineers, especially industrialists, mathematicians, and physicists. Informatics is largely electronic, and to know electronics we must know physics. The other great part of the computer science are, of course, mathematics, any subject that we are going to study, be it programming, logic, artificial intelligence, etc. It has a huge mathematical base behind it, without mathematics there would be no computing.
Thirdly we have to know our working environment, so we also need to learn about computers, architecture and structure, how they work inside, and also on the Internet, networks are important, how would we not know what happens between us and To the server to which we are making a request?
Arrived here, we have brushstrokes of what we are going to find, but now comes the most important, and this applies to any engineering, not just to computer: determination.
The main factor to get this forward is not the subjects we have, their degree of difficulty, or the talent of each one. No, it's us. If we really like what we are studying, there is no integral, circuit or program that will cut the way, there will not be a day that we do not think it was worth getting up early or late. The illusion and the desire are what mark the distance that we are going to arrive.
Everyone says that we must learn to suffer, in fact I have said a few lines above, but I think that what we really must learn is to enjoy, to enjoy the feeling of work well done, although sometimes it costs quite enough To that feeling, to enjoy learning what we like, to compile and work what we do, to finally get that problem where we had been stuck for days or weeks.
We entered here knowing that the price of success is very high, that absolutely nobody would give us anything, and we will leave knowing how to overcome any situation, with the satisfaction of being able to face any problem and with more desire to eat the world than we had when we started.
We must not come down, no matter at what crossroads we find ourselves, we must always keep in mind that wrong is good and that all success is a succession of mistakes.

Q: Make `cargo doc` fail if there are warnings I'd like to test in CI that cargo doc succeeds without any warnings. Is there any way to get cargo doc to exit with a non-zero exit code if there are warnings?

A: This should be helpful. Basically you can pass additional flags to the compiler by setting RUSTFLAGS env variable. So to deny all warnings (for any build type) is as simple as setting RUSTFLAGS="-D warnings".
EDIT. To deny warnings in the generated documentation those flags must be set by RUSTDOCFLAGS env variable instead.

Today we bring you a conversation with Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, the co-director of the Kairos Center for Religions, Rights and Social Justice at Union Theological Seminary, and co-chair, with Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, of the Poor People's Campaign: A Call for Moral Revival.
Sarah Jaffe: You have been part of a couple of actions now around trying to stop whichever version of Trumpcare is moving through the Senate and to fight against cuts to Medicaid. Can you tell us a little bit about the actions?
Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis: Many folks have been coming together in lots of different ways, including impacted people. Last week — last Tuesday — in Washington, DC, in front of Senator McConnell's office, clergy and other impacted folks who are very upset both about the proposed cuts and changes, as well as the lack of faith leaders standing up against this kind of devaluing of life … decided to do civil disobedience in front of McConnell's office. Folks were led by Rev. Dr. William J. Barber from the Forward Together Moral Mondays movement, Rev. Traci Blackmon from the United Church of Christ Justice and Witness Ministry, as well as Rev. Jennifer Butler of Faith and Public Life, and people of various faiths, and again, those that will be impacted if the ACA [Affordable Care Act] is repealed and if more health care cuts are done. They staged a demonstration and took communion, saying that we can't be silent anymore around these things, and we are joining with others across the country who are speaking out about how these cuts are killing people, and that we need to kill Trumpcare in its various forms before it kills so many more of us.
That was last week, and this week the story keeps changing: the bill is dead, the bill isn't dead, they're going to just repeal it, they don't have the votes, now they're having an emergency meeting trying to revive it, I think people are actually getting arrested down in DC as we're talking Wednesday afternoon, so obviously this is still a live issue. Tell us what's going on this week.
Faith leaders have joined again with others; people were arrested yesterday associated with Auburn Theological Seminary and the Black Clergy Network, again saying that the fight around health care is a human rights issue and that we can't cut 22 million people off. If we just repeal the ACA, folks say that will be 32 million people cut off. No matter what is going on, health care has to be an issue, it's a moral issue, and that people are going to maintain doing these actions, civil disobedience, standing with people who are impacted by this and raising these issues until we actually fight for a health care system that provides care for all.
You said that part of the motivation was to call on faith leaders to speak up about this. Talk a little bit more about why it's important as faith leaders to be part of the movement to stop Trumpcare, the movement for universal health care, all of that.
I think that part of why we see it as really important for faith leaders to step up in this is because health care and all of these issues are moral issues. For too long, morality has been confined to a very small number of issues, many of which are barely discussed in faith traditions and texts, and they've been in the hands of folks that are trying to exclude and oppress. And instead, we're saying that if you look at various religious texts within the tradition of Christianity that I come from, Jesus traveled around the countryside healing people for free. Clearly, Jesus had a universal health care system, but in this time, in this moment, these kinds of health care cuts, this kind of repeal of the ACA is all being done in the name of — and with the support of — many Christians and politicians who claim to be Christian.
And so, it's really important for faith leaders to say, "No, this is a moral issue." It's a moral issue whenever you kill people because you deny them Medicare and Medicaid, whenever you deny people health care because they have preexisting conditions; that this is not OK in any of our sacred texts and it is a responsibility of everybody, including our moral leaders, our clergy, to not just talk a good talk, but actually to be out there with people who are impacted, fighting for the kind of health care system that we want.
Looking forward, obviously the Republicans are not going to stop trying to kill the ACA. But tell us what comes next for you, both around health care and on a broader scale?
Obviously, we're not sure what's going to happen around health care. We are sure that people are very motivated to try to stop bad things from happening, and we'll have to keep the pressure up and make it very clear to our politicians that health care is an issue that unites a lot of us and we are committed to fight around it.
We are also trying to link the issue of health care to other social justice issues and things that are impacting people. So, just the day before I and others were arrested last week, we were participating in a housing rights, a tenants' rights march, and in jail, we actually connected up with folks that were committing civil disobedience around anti-militarism. Then on Monday, Rev. Barber and I and others led a group of clergy around a press conference and then we actually had a meeting with the High Commissioner for Human Rights at the United Nations, making the connection between voter suppression and the attack on our democracy that is taking place right now, including with this election integrity commission that has been set up by President Trump and is being vice-chaired by someone who the Senate minority leader has called "the most racist person in the country" … trying to see these connections between voter suppression and the denial of health care and the low wages that people are fighting [for], and trying to pull all of this together — all the issues into what we're seeing as the need for a poor people's campaign, a national call for moral revival, where we connect these different issues and the groups that are impacted directly by these issues and pull them together into a large movement, a fusion movement that works across race and geography and issues into something that can be a powerful force and kind of finish some of the unfinished work that Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was doing in the last year of his life. Fifty years later, we see that need to connect systemic racism, poverty and ecological devastation into a large movement and campaign to bring people together.
I was struck the other day at the press conference, where Rev. Barber and other folks were connecting the dots to voter suppression and the lack of Medicaid expansion, which is already denying a lot of folks medical care, and it seems particularly relevant to note the way political disenfranchisement leads to these actual material consequences for people.
Exactly. Part of the reason we went and met with the High Commissioner of Human Rights, who is gravely concerned about systemic racism and poverty in the United States of America, is because we were trying to … show the country and the world … that these are linked. That also what would be a central pillar of the work that we're doing with the poor people's campaign will be the indivisibility of these rights, looking at the fight against voter suppression and for our democracy. Because when you suppress votes, when votes don't count, when people get into office because of racist voter suppression, they pass policies that have a really grave detrimental impact on the poor and working people of all races. And so, to see actually the kind of divide-and-conquer that has been a part of US politics since, really, our founding, and to say this has to stop, that we from the bottom are going to unite and build and see the connections between voter suppression and the attack on Medicaid and on the ACA and all of our health care, and a budget right now that will be, if passed, the largest transfer of wealth from the bottom up — a reverse Robin Hood — since the Civil War.
This is all connected. And if we don't just see voter suppression over there and health care over here and housing cuts over there, and don't actually see that the same people who are denying us health care are suppressing our vote and are making us homeless, then we will never be smart enough to come together and do something that will change the conditions in the United States and make the majority of us who are poor or one or two paychecks away from being poor, into something that's a powerful force in this country.
How can people keep up with you and the campaigns you're working on?
Folks can check out the Kairos Center, kairoscenter.org, on social media and our website, as well as poorpeoplescampaign.org. There will be more and more announcements about 16 public events that the Poor People's Campaign is doing in the next couple of months all over the country. In December of this year, we'll announce the major plans that we have for the spring of 2018 to do a massive mobilization in states across the country and in the nation's capital.

Encke-type Comet
Space Reference » Encke-type Comets » 266P/Christensen
Categorized as a Encke-type Comet
Not a Near Earth Object
Not a Potentially Hazardous Object
See orbit simulation
Comet 266P/Christensen is an object whose orbit brings it closer to the sun than Jupiter. NASA JPL has not classified 266P/Christensen as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
266P/Christensen orbits the sun every 2,420 days (6.63 years), coming as close as 2.33 AU and reaching as far as 4.73 AU from the sun.
No Close Approaches
266P/Christensen's orbit is 1.35 AU from Earth's orbit at its closest point. This means that there is an extremely wide berth between this asteroid and Earth at all times.
Orbital simulations conducted by NASA JPL's CNEOS do not show any close approaches to Earth.
Images and Observations
266P/Christensen's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Aug. 15, 2012. It was last officially observed on April 16, 2020. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 520 observations used to determine its orbit.
Accessibility and Exploration
This comet is not considered a viable target for human exploration by the NHATS study.

I think this may work for me, but my situation is slightly different. It looks like you started from family accounts that you renewed. My wife and I currently have 2 individual accounts. I want to switch to one family account, but not lose any data (email) from either account.
I'm pretty sure I can switch my individual account to a family pack. Do you think I will then be able to add my wife's existing account (using the same user name) to my new family account? There are some reports that the other account needs to be a trial account.
Of course, I will buy the Family Pack on Amazon first.


Thanks- you're sweet. I'd love to be your friend.
Thanks for the 49ers support... it's been a long road back to being a reasonably decent team!
Have you written anything recently?
Thank you! We are still on the road. It was 12 degrees in Idaho where we live and a chilly 56 here <<giggle-giggle>> Glad to be back at the old home port PW and to see you are still around. It's official now. You are family.
Hey Comet have you checked your inbox, I sent you a PM a few days ago. Not that it is that important... It was an invite to use some of the threads I have going as I would like you to use some of them and share your opinions in them with your posts.
In fact all members are invited to use any of them as they are for PW and not me.

Anna Walker joins us today to premiere the trailer for her brand new picture book, Florette! Watch the video below, then keep reading to learn more about the inspiration behind the story.
Can you tell us a little bit about the story in FLORETTE?
Anna: When Mae's family moves to a new home, Mae wishes she could bring the garden with her. She misses the apple trees and butterflies. There is no room for a garden in the city. . .or is there?
Florette is the story of a child's imagination and the magic of the natural world in a new environment.
The contrast of gray and rigid with green and life is a treat for the eye. What materials did you use to make the illustrations in this story?
Anna: I used watercolour, ink, pencil and collage.
Do you have a favorite moment or page from the story you're really excited for readers to see?
Anna: I have two favourite moments. The first is Mae standing in the rain watching all her chalk drawings washed away. I was happy with the feeling created in this image. And the second moment is the crayon garden created by Mae on the boxes. I was delighted with the way the colours came together on this spread.
Are there any gardens or parks you drew on for inspiration when working on the story?
Anna: In Melbourne, Australia there is a beautiful florist/nursery called Glasshaus just near my studio. I visited regularly to look at the plants and the greenery!
Anna: Florette was inspired by travelling to Paris with my family and seeing a shop window full of plants from floor to ceiling. The shop was closed. . . but I kept thinking about that tiny forest in the middle of the city. And so Florette began.
Thanks for sharing the cover of FLORETTE with all of us!
Florette will be on sale in the US from Clarion Books beginning February 20, 2018.


Dr. Leonard grew up traveling as an "army brat." His family finally settled down in Fairfax County Virginia in his teenage years. After high school Dr. Toyer went on to receive his undergraduate degree in biology from Hampton University. Always knowing he wanted to be a dentist, he next attended Virginia Commonwealth University to obtain his Doctorate in Dental Surgery in 2003. Wanting to increase his speed and proficiency in advanced dental techniques, Dr. Toyer then went to the University of Maryland to receive his two year certificate in Advanced General Dentistry, completed in 2005. There he practiced implant placement and restoration, rotary endodontics, hard and soft tissue surgeries, and cosmetic procedures in addition to general dentistry. Since the completion of this program he has been developing his craft as an associate dentist in the state of Virginia for the past seven years. He is an active member in the community where he volunteers his time at local clean-up programs and homeless shelters. He also is involved in youth programs, mentoring students, and participating in scholarship drives with the local chapter of his fraternity Alpha Phi Alpha.
Dr. Leonard is committed to advanced education in his field. He has been trained by the Hiossen Advanced Dental Implant Research & Education Center to become proficient in implant placement and restoration.
Dr. April also grew up as an "army brat," but resided many years in Bowie, Maryland. She attended the University of Virginia and received a degree in Biology and Bioethics in 2003. There she volunteered at the Charlottesville Free Clinic and developed a love for dentistry. Dr. Toyer attended dental school at the University of Maryland and took part in the Pediatric Dentistry Clerkship program. It was there that she met her husband, Dr. Leonard Toyer. During her summers off from dental school, Dr. Toyer worked for the Department of Education to be surrounded by young smiles. After graduating from dental school in 2007, she attended Howard University for her residency in pediatric dentistry, which she completed in 2009. In her spare time Dr. Toyer enjoys writing, playing the piano, swimming and playing with their son Austin.
Dr. April believes that the prevention of dental disease is the best cure. She skillfully delivers restorative care utilizing child-centered behavior guidance and anxiolysis techniques as well as dental outpatient surgery under general anesthesia.
Dr. Park grew up in Woodbridge, Virginia and went on to attend the University of Virginia where he received a Bachelor of Arts in Biology.

Snow is an at-home teeth-whitening technology which does not need a prescription and is FDA approved. According to Snow,"top celebrity dentists" use it and are pleased with the outcomes. They say it's an award-winning system for whitening teeth.
The Harvard science research company, Snow Labs, located in Scottsdale, Arizona, serves over 100,000 customers. They say they are constantly striving to improve the technology and consistently trying to discharge more helpful products. Additionally, with each sale, they give a few of the profits to help provide dental treatments to children who can't afford them.
The Snow teeth whitening treatment is a FDA-approved, at-home technology which provides folks dentist-level whitening in a fraction of the price tag. It was created by a Harvard science research company.
They do have a outcomes warranty Even though they don't possess a warranty. This means if you are not satisfied with the results the whitening serum will be replaced by them. Simply put, they don't accept returns or issue any money refunds — they will only issue store credit.
The majority of the people who've employed Snow see results in around three days, but every individual should use it until they see the results they want. It might take up to 21 days of use for 15-30 minutes each session.
The majority of the user reviews must do with customer service from early in the life of the company. The product seems to work and the customer service has improved over recent years.
For the most part, reviews of Snow are incredibly positive. Not every customer will experience the same effects in the same timeframe, but it's generally considered a radical technology.
You employ a whitening serum. Essentially, it's a material that you paint on your teeth. You place the Snow device it fits over your teeth like a mouth guard that is tight.
The Remineralization Gel that you should use after the treatment, particularly if you have sensitive teeth. This gel reduce sensitivity, can greatly strengthen your tooth enamel, and returns vitamins and minerals to your teeth. If you do have sensitive teeth and gums, you shouldn't do it every day but rather have a break for 1-3 days before the next treatment.
Snow is FDA approved, and it is a plus. So it's relatively safe. Throughout the treatment, you do end up swallowing a little but not enough it is worrisome. In reality, even when you're breastfeeding, you can still utilize this treatment.


It's that outdoor music, camping, festival time of year, and one of the things my kids love when we have days out at the beach, one of the many heritage properties or whatever else we attend, is having their face painted. I don't know about you, but when I have the option to not pay £10 or more for two kids to have some paint smeared on their faces, I take it, which is why I love the Festival Face Tattoos from InterPlay.
What's in the Festival Face Tattoos box?
The box says that the set contains 'over 12' temporary tattoos, which is a bit of a weird way to describe it. There are 5 sheets of colour tattoos and 2 sheets of glitter tattoos. I guess if you're using all the matching tattoos in one go you'll get 12 new looks out of it, but sometimes less is more, and I reckon you could get about 27 uses out of the colour tattoos and at least 10 out of the glitter tattoos.
There's also an applicator sponge, which is just a sponge. A cloth works just as well. There are child-safe scissors in the box. They do the job and are – as the name suggests, child safe – but I found them to be frustratingly blunt and just used my regular kitchen scissors. Finally, there's a bottle of baby oil which you can use to remove the tattoos when needed. Ameli tried to remove a tattoo that way and felt she had to rub quite hard. I didn't find it too tough though.
What's great about the Festival Face Tattoos kit?
The other types, the glitter ones, are a lot less durable. I put some on my wrist when we had a day festival near my home and they lasted for most of the day, but by the time I got home, there wasn't much left. I did think this might be because I use my hands more than I use my face – or I touch things with my hands more than I touch things with my face – but Aviya loves the glitter tattoos and used them on her face too, and they also lasted around 24 hours. I actually see this as a positive, for example, if you don't want to go to work or school with remnants of the weekend on your face!
The colour tattoos seem to level with the skin, but the glitter tattoos are more of a plastic film that attaches to it, so things like sweat and natural oils will cause it to peel off. If you tried to peel the colour tattoos off you'd just get rubbed off bits, whereas it's entirely possible to remove a whole image in the glitter tattoos.

NJ dermatologist dies while piloting in Florida air show crash
Dan Alexander
Plane crash at Stuart Air Show in Florida (Martin County Sheriff's Office)
A doctor who ran several dermatology offices in New Jersey died in a plane crash at an air show in Florida on Friday.
Dr. Joseph M. Masessa was identified by organizers of the Stuart Air Show as the pilot of the plane that crashed at Witham Field in Stuart, a suburb of Port St. Lucie on the state's Atlantic coast. Investigators from the FAA and NTSB have not yet determined a cause for the crash.
Cell phone video of the crash posted by Florida TV station WPLG showed the plane, identified by air show organizers as a Grunman OV-1 Mohawk, dropping out of the sky at a high rate of speed nose down and bursting into flames when it hit the ground.
Dr. Joseph M. Masessa (North Jersey Dermatology Center)
Masessa divided his time between New Jersey and Florida with a number of offices in both states.
His picture appears on the website for the five offices of the North Jersey Dermatology Center with offices in Clifton, Kearny, Newfoundland, Parsippany and Rockaway and the South Jersey Dermatology Center in Manahawkin and Toms River.
He also operated the six offices of the Dermatology Center of Florida.
Events at the Air Show will continue on Sunday in Masessa's memory, according to the show's Facebook page.
The Grumman OV-1 Mohawk is a retired military aircraft, built specifically for the U.S. Army, according to an article in Air & Space magazine.
According to the air show website, Masessa flew the plane designed used for battlefield surveillance and light strike capabilities. It can take off from short runways that may not be in ideal condition.
Masessa's cousin by marriage, Lauren Procko, told the Palm Beach Post that he was a race car driver for five years before he switched to flying.
Procko told the Post that the family is planning several memorial services.

Der Ausdruck Bonusmeilen-Affäre bezeichnet die von der Bild-Zeitung 2002 bekannt gemachte Praxis, dass einzelne Bundestagsabgeordnete ihre dienstlich angesammelten Bonusmeilen aus dem Vielfliegerprogramm Miles & More der Lufthansa für Privatreisen nutzten. Die Veröffentlichung wurde durch eine Indiskretion bei der Lufthansa möglich. Vorangegangen und Auslöser der Enthüllungen war die Hunzinger-Affäre. Am 22. September 2002 war Bundestagswahl; die Bonusmeilenaffäre war ein Wahlkampfthema.

Im Rahmen der Affäre gab es einige Rücktritte. Unter anderem trat Gregor Gysi (PDS) am 31. Juli 2002 von allen Ämtern zurück. Cem Özdemir (Grüne), seit 1998 innenpolitischer Sprecher der Bundestagsfraktion Bündnis 90/Die Grünen, legte dieses Amt am 26. Juli 2002 nieder und nahm nach der Bundestagswahl 2002 das Bundestagsmandat nicht an, ging für eine Legislaturperiode (2004–2009) ins Europaparlament und kehrte anschließend wieder in den Bundestag zurück. Rezzo Schlauch (Grüne) zahlte die strittige Summe nach; er lehnte Rücktrittsforderungen ab.

Bundestagspräsident Wolfgang Thierse betonte – nach diesen beiden Rücktritten –, es gehe lediglich um die Verletzung einer freiwillig vereinbarten Regel. Müntefering, damals SPD-Generalsekretär, stellte im August 2002 eine Strafanzeige gegen die Bildzeitung. In die Untersuchungen der Bonusmeilen-Affäre schaltete sich am 6. August 2002 die Staatsanwaltschaft wegen des Verdachts auf Untreue und Betrug ein. Betroffen waren neun Abgeordnete von CDU/CSU (2), SPD (1), PDS (2) und Grünen (4).

Auch Mitglieder anderer Parteien waren von der Affäre betroffen; nur die Genannten zogen Konsequenzen. Ab dem 7. August verlagerte sich das Medieninteresse auf das Elbhochwasser; ab dann erfolgten keine weiteren Rücktritte von Politikern im Rahmen der Flugaffäre. Im Juli 2002 gab es einen teilweise öffentlich geführten Disput zwischen dem damaligen Bundestagspräsident Wolfgang Thierse und der Lufthansa: Thierse forderte im Namen der Fraktionen "den Informationsstand [..], der - im übrigen unter Missachtung datenschutzrechtlicher Vorschriften - aus Ihrem Hause der 'Bild'-Zeitung übermittelt wurde". Die Lufthansa solle Maßnahmen gegen Datenmissbrauch ergreifen. Lufthansa bestritt, dass es eine "undichte Stelle" bei ihr gebe. In der Öffentlichkeit wurde auch diskutiert, wer die Daten an die Öffentlichkeit gegeben hatte und mit welchem Motiv.

Einige Unternehmen nahmen die Affäre zum Anlass klarzustellen bzw. zu regeln, dass Bonusmeilen dem Unternehmen zufallen (und nicht dem Mitarbeiter, der den Flug getätigt hat / auf dessen Bonusmeilenkarte die Meilen gutgeschrieben worden waren). Wer dienstlich erlangte Bonusmeilen privat nutzt, erlangt einen geldwerten Vorteil. Auch dies wurde im Nachgang der Affäre öffentlich bekannter.

Sonstiges
Bundeskanzler Schröder äußerte sich am 1. August 2002. Er bezeichnete die schrittweise Enthüllung als politisch motiviert. "Es fällt auf, dass das von großer Einseitigkeit ist" (darauf anspielend, dass bis dahin nur Politiker aus dem linken Spektrum als Bonus-Flieger genannt wurden). Er habe den Verdacht, dass "durch Weglassen und besonderes Betonen" ein politisches Ergebnis erzielt werden solle, das letztlich positiv für die Union ausfallen solle.

WE ARE HIRING!!!
Check our vacancies!
Or contact: d.shterionov@tilburguniversity.edu
Dublin Nov 30th: The SignON project has received Horizon 2020 funding of €5.6M. SignON is a 3-year project led by ADAPT at DCU to address the communication gap between users of spoken languages and deaf sign language users.
The SignON EU consortium of 17 European partners led by Prof. Andy Way, Professor of Computing at Dublin City University, Ireland (coordinator), and Dr. Dimitar Shterionov Assistant Professor in Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence at Tilburg University, The Netherlands (scientific lead), have received this award to conduct state of the art research and develop a mobile solution for automatic translation between sign and oral (written and spoken) languages.
SignON is a user-centric and community-driven project that aims to facilitate the exchange of information among deaf and hard of hearing, and hearing individuals across Europe targeting the Irish, British, Dutch, Flemish and Spanish Sign and English, Irish, Dutch, Spanish oral languages. There are 5,000 deaf Irish Sign Language (ISL) signers; in the UK around 87,000 deaf signers use British Sign Language (BSL); in Flanders, Belgium some 5,000 deaf people use Flemish Sign Language (VGT); there are approximately 13,000 signers using Sign Language of the Netherlands (NGT); and it is estimated that there are over 100,000 Spanish Sign Language (LSE) signers.
Through collaboration with these European deaf and hard of hearing communities, researchers will define use-cases, co-design and co-develop the SignON service and application. The objective of the research project is the fair, unbiased and inclusive spread of information and digital content in European society.
The SignON communication service will be more than an advanced machine translation system. Behind the scenes, SignON will incorporate sophisticated machine learning capabilities that will allow (i) learning new Sign and oral languages; (ii) style-, domain- and user-adaptation and (iii) automatic error correction, based on user feedback. To the user, SignON will deliver signed conversations via a life-like avatar built with latest graphics technologies.
To ensure wide uptake, improved sign language detection and synthesis, as well as multilingual speech processing for everyone, the project will deploy the SignON service as a smart phone application running on standard modern devices. While the application is designed as a light-weight interface, the SignON framework, will be distributed on the cloud where the computationally intensive tasks will be executed.
Speaking about the project Prof Andy Way says:
"When I first worked on sign language MT 15 years ago, the field was very small. In 2022, we will see a special issue of the Machine Translation journal appearing dedicated to this topic. Now that ISL is a fully-fledged official language in Ireland, it is great to see this work continuing to thrive. I am pleased to coordinate the SignON project, which will develop a free, open application and framework for conversion between video (capturing and understanding Sign language), audio and text and translation between Sign and spoken languages."
The SignON project will commence on 01/01/2021 and the consortium are currently recruiting a wide range of experts in the fields of Natural Language Processing (NLP) Machine Learning (ML) , Deep Learning (DL), Machine Translation (MT) Linguistics, Deaf studies, education, 3D graphics and others to join the SignON team.
For more details, please contact Dr Dimitar Shterionov at d.shterionov@tilburguniversity.edu

Find an arts program with Pacific Children's Theater
Thirty squirrely students swirl in from the street, talking and laughing, jostling and poking. It is the first rehearsal for Annie, Jr., a production of Pacific Children's Theater (PCT) in Mission Hills. Each child is greeted by theater director and PCT founder Graham Russo. The energy level is high, and it is hard for an outsider to see how such a raucous group can be wrangled into learning lines and dances, songs and cues to create a play. But before them sit three brave instructors, ready to take on the task of creating theater magic out of kid-sized chaos.
First up is Rosy-Dawn Selwitz, vocal professional and voice coach. Under Selwitz's direction, the students begin to warm up their voices with exercises only a children's theater professional could invent.
"Fla-fla-ningy-ningy, fla-fla-ningy-ningy," they sing. "Mommy made me mash my M & M's," their voices rising in scales and arpeggios. The children giggle. After they warm up, the music of "Hard Knock Life" fills the theater, and the fun and hard work begins.
Small Staff, Big Heart
This year, Pacific Children's Theater (PCT) celebrates its eleventh year of productions. Founded as an educational theater arts program for children, PCT has evolved into a not-for-profit organization on a mission that moves beyond mere theater education into the social-emotional core of learning and the inclusion of all children.
"PCT is more than just a place where kids can perform," Russo says. "It's a place where people can belong. Our teachers work to make a personal connection with each student. That's what we're about."
Russo's personal teaching style is reflected in his small staff, as well. In addition to vocal instructor, Selwitz, dancer Erin Jelacic works with students to help them recognize and master the physical aspects of acting and dancing. A lifelong dancer through college and her professional career, Jelacic helps children inhabit their bodies and give their movements depth and joy. Even the most awkward child finds inner grace under Jelacic's instruction and choreography.
Community Theater = Community Inclusion
Russo began PCT with the goal of giving all children, regardless of their abilities, a chance to experience the joy of theater arts and performance. While children may attend other theater arts programs for years without having a chance to perform a play for a paying public, PCT gives every child who applies an opportunity to be a part of something outsized and awe-inspiring: a play.
Russo came by his philosophy of inclusion through an inspiring mentor. In one of Russo's first jobs after graduating from UCLA's theater program, he worked at Pershing Middle School, teaching drama under the direction of Terry Miller, now a teacher at the School of Creative and Performing Arts, and a PCT board member. Miller had a big influence on Russo, especially in her philosophy of inclusion.
"When I went to work with Terry, there would be a hundred kids in the show," Russo says. "Deep down inside in me, I can't be happy if I'm rejecting someone. A kid is someone with an open mind who wants to experience the joy of theater. I would not sleep well at night if I had to turn that child away."
One of PCT's goals has been to provide theater to children who might not otherwise get to experience the joy of performance—or even the wonder of seeing live theater—in Title One schools. Over the years, Russo has found creative ways (as well as generous donors and supportive parents) to fund PCT's school programs in such schools as Garfield Elementary, Urban Discover Charter School, the San Diego Cooperative Charter School and Explorer Elementary Charter School, in addition to public performances at the Mission Hills United Church.
PCT's inclusive spirit is one of the things that makes for great education, as well as heart-warming theater.
"I'm not looking at each child and how they look," Russo says. "I want to know that kids reach their potential, do their best, and put their all into everything they do. That's what will lead a person to be more successful and happy in life. If your efforts and words are helping people, that's what's important."
Small Theater, Big Heart
Fast forward nine weeks: The Annie, Jr. cast and crew are in a flurry, getting ready for opening night. In the lobby, parents are selling tickets, siblings are setting up a concession stand and alumni of the program are flocking in to watch. The elementary-aged crew is checking lights, sounds, props and curtains. Backstage, parents are helping children apply make-up and excited performers hug each other, almost unable to contain their excitement.
A half hour later, the show begins, order spun from chaos, joy spilling across the stage in a wave of exuberant song. Magic is at work: the magic of theater, the magic of community, the magic of open hearts.

Coldra Consult Ltd, a professional Asbestos sampling, testing, and survey company formally announces its opening of new office in Newport, Wales. The Newport office aims to supply these services to landlords and commercial building owners in the city as well as outlying areas.
Coldra Consult Ltd is pleased to announce that the latest asbestos industry advice in Newport Wales is readily available anytime and encourages Newport businesses to contact the company. A basic Newport asbestos survey starts at a very competitive cost for the small to medium retail unit and can take as little as 30 minutes to complete. Sample analysis for ACM's will be conducted on site and reports will be produced that can enable the property owner to understand the future management actions that need to be taken. If the full Asbestos risk is not clear on site then samples will be collected and transported to accredited laboratories. This enables the surveyor to further clarify if any additional issues exist.
With the new Coldra Consult Ltd office now open, instructing a commercial asbestos survey is easier for clients in South East Wales. They can now easily get the professional, accredited assistance they need to ensure their legal responsibilities toward their occupants or potential buyers, is met. Most buildings in Newport Wales built before 1999 contain some degree of ACM risk and people working in them may be exposed. Commercial building owners are legally obligated to ensure a safe environment for occupants of their building. These obligations can only be identified through an Asbestos survey by a professional assessor.
The commercial Asbestos management survey options offered by Coldra Consult Ltd deliver an Asbestos management plan to the client. This plan may contain laboratory analysis results, risks assessments and Asbestos Register as well as providing the Client with a roadmap to manage future risk. The primary purpose of a Newport commercial Asbestos management survey is to produce reporting documentation that will help to ensure the location, type, and extent of ACM's in a commercial building is properly assessed. With this, it is easier to determine the steps to be taken to manage future risk and ensure less disturbance while undergoing maintenance as well as daily work activities.
Coldra Consult Ltd assessors are qualified P402 surveyors and have the necessary skills and experience to undertake any level of survey task in a commercial environment. If required, any laboratory testing and analysis for possible ACM's is completed in UKAS accredited facilities. On top of surveying Asbestos in occupied commercial establishments, the surveyor can also provide reports as requirements for property lease/transfer registration. Typically, a commercial Asbestos survey includes (but is not limited) to digital photographs, possibly on-site video records, a copy of electronic survey results, analytical certification and other findings as well as detailed reports with observations, conclusions, and future options.
With Coldra Consult Ltd now servicing Newport, Wales, property owners now can get a quote for any size of Asbestos survey, even with highly complex buildings. Advice regarding budget and survey costs are also available.


I just landed back in NJ from my family trip in Grand Cayman, and I'm so excited to share some highlights.
I was so flustered before I left school for break that I forgot to pack my camera, however, it ended up being a blessing in disguise. Although I didn't get the most high-quality photos or shoot any specific content, I had the chance to relax and spend time with my family.
Before getting into the post, I also wanted to hear some feedback from you. Since this past week's visit was my second time in Grand Cayman, I feel that it might be helpful to create a travel guide for anyone interested. Travel posts aren't something I do often, so I would love to know if you'd find a GC guide helpful before I do anything.

I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I have spent days googling the error in various ways however I have not had any luck resolving it.

A: Add below dependency in pom.xml
<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.0</version>
</dependency>

A: In java 11 JAXB APIs are completely removed from the JDK. So backing to JDK 8 will solve your issue.
There is a clean solution for JDKs >= 9 which suggested here : https://stackoverflow.com/a/52872160/4431053


The Central Bank of Nigeria, through its Borrowers Program, distributed pesticides and fertilizers to approximately 227 rice farmers in the state of Beyls.
The chairman of the government of the Nigerian rice farmers association, Ezikel Ogbanko, who yesterday reported this during the flag of the wind season in Jenago, thanked the federal government for initiating a scheme of anchor borrowers to support farmers in all states.
He said: "We met here today to distribute the CBN's contributions to farmers and to remove the wet season in Bayels, already, we purchased 5,000 hectares of land through eight local governments, we ended up in the dry season, however, we are still waiting for the harvest.
"That's why I urge all farmers not to be discouraged, but it's more difficult for us to absorb enough rice for people in the state and the nation as a whole."
Ezbod Stanley, CBN's chief manager, Bayelsa Office, urged farmers to make good use of the materials.
One of the Polish farmers, Pere Etecu, said that he was happy to participate in the program and promised to use these materials well.
