Brittany Underwood currently stars on Emmy winning digital series The Bay. She's also a mainstay on Lifetime Movie Channel, and was on the nighttime soap Hollywood Heights. But it was her role as Langston on One Life to Live where she's garnered the bulk of her fans – working opposite Jason Tam – now a big time Broadway star – and her long time best friend Kristen Alderson.
How are you dealing with the stay-at-home part of Covid-19?
Well, I definitely miss seeing my friends and going to work, but I do feel like instead of stressing quarantine, I've just been making the best of it and finding ways to keep myself entertained.
Do you deny, that according to your social media posts, you have not been alone?
Yes, you caught me! I have not been in solitary confinement! I have been very fortunate to be able to quarantine with my boyfriend, Nick Diamond, and we have been keeping each other company and entertained and I feel like that is another, very important reason I have not gone insane during the stay at home order.
Is he an actor – what does he do, other than not shave?
He is not an actor. He is also not a shaver anymore since quarantine. But, he is an assistant director on sitcoms. Most recently he was one of the assistant directors on the CBS show with Matt LeBlanc called Man With A Plan.
Does he ever tell you to cut it out with the singing all the time?
He has not, so hopefully he doesn't mind? But, I actually am not one of those people that just walks around singing all the time.
Were you in Los Angeles when the shut down occurred?
I was. It seemed pretty surreal at first that that was what it came down to but I thought it was a good idea to do a harsh shut down to stop the spread. I had hoped that everyone would actually stay home and we could get back to normal sooner, but sadly, some people don't want to follow the rules and we keep having a rise in cases, it's really unfortunate.
Is there anything you've learned about yourself during all this?
Well, I feel like it's bad to say 'no', but, I've always known that I generally am able to adapt to adverse situations pretty well. But, I will say, I've learned a lot about other people, and some of that has made me a little sad and disappointed to be honest. But, at the same time, I've been very proud of others.
Any hobbies you've picked up during this time?
I've learned how to cook! I mean, I've cooked a few dishes, here and there, before but I'm definitely trying more things now. Ever since we got a grill during quarantine we've been grilling and cooking a lot more, it's been really fun and yummy! I've been making a lot of steak lately. I just season it with garlic, onion, oil, sea salt and then I serve it with corn on the cob and either broccoli or small potatoes – dice them and then sauté them in the pan with lots of margarine – yes, I prefer that to butter. And lots of garlic and onion and ground Himalayan Pink Salt and minced garlic – do you sense a trend? And sometimes I sprinkle cheese on top! Now I'm hungry!!
Do you think your boyfriend liked all this cooking, or he just keeps eating your meals, so as to not hurt your feelings in this difficult time?
OK, well, I'm not saying I'm a chef! But, ok, he does the grilling, and we each season our steak the way we each want them. I make the sides, and he likes my sides – well, he tells me he likes my sides, but now you have me questioning everything!
Prior to moving to Los Angeles, you lived in New York. How was working with the cast of One Life to Live?
I've been very fortunate to be blessed with so many great casts throughout my career, but my One Life To Live castmates will forever hold a special place in my heart. We really were a family. I can't say enough about how much I love them. I feel like everyone already knows how close Kristen Alderson and I have remained, but, I still stay in touch with many of our other OLTL alums. It always makes me happy to see them or hear from them. We were the best of friends. And, they were some of the best years of my life. I learned so much and had so much fun. If I could, I would relive those days in a heartbeat.
OK, but, who didn't you like?
Jason Tam – he's the worst! I'm kidding, he's the nicest human on the planet. And, I really mean it – I genuinely loved everyone at the show!
Did you ever date a co-star? Who? How did you screw it up?
You know, I haven't. But, this is a true story – my mom seriously asked me if I could date Jason Tam. She thought he was the best.
What do you think Langston could be doing now?
She was a writer, so I'd like to think her and Marco made all the movies together, maybe got married – maybe kids? I think that would be so cute!
Would Langston deal with the stay at home order better than you are?
Hard to say, Langston became such a part of me, sometimes it was hard to discern the differences between us, so I'd like to think she would handle it pretty well and make the best of it, especially if she got to spend it with Marco! But, if they had kids, I would imagine that would be quite stressful. I have so much respect for parents with young kids right now, especially those that have to still work during this time. Major props to them.
Comedy or drama, what is in your future?
I would love to do more of both. I usually get cast in dramas but whenever I get to do comedy, I have a blast and would love to do more of it. But I'm also a hopeless romantic so would be ecstatic to work on an epic love story like The Notebook – or an action film. I love it all, truthfully.
How did you become the Queen of Lifetime movies?
Oh wow! I don't know that I can really claim that title but I'm flattered and very grateful! They're super fun to do and I end up working multiple times with the same handful of production companies and they become little families. It's always a pleasure to work with people you care about and I've become such good friends with a lot of the cast and crew from those movies, so I always look forward to them.
If you were starring in a movie as soon as Hollywood starts back up, who would be your dream co-stars?
Oh, good question! Robert Downey Jr., because I love him 3000. But also, I think he would push me to make fresh choices every take. He always seems so organic, it would be a major privilege to ever work with him. And, same with Johnny Depp. But, if it was a comedy, I'd say Dwayne Johnson because I think he'd be hilarious to work with. And, Paul Rudd, too.
What is the last tv show that you were hooked on?
I used to be so obsessed with Game of Thrones. I used to play in a fantasy league about the show. It was basically fantasy football but with the characters of the show and way nerdier.
And what about tv shows that you're not quite so proud of watching?
I am definitely guilty of binge watching Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills. It films in LA, obviously, so it's fun to be like 'oh they went there? Looks adorable, I want to try that place'. The show cracks me up and I always amused and entertained with the drama! Oh, and also, I really got into The Bachelor these past few years – for which I totally blame Kristen Alderson for this new addiction of mine.
If you are throwing a dinner party, a who's who of Hollywood, but you only have room for six guests, who would they be?
John Krazinski and Emily Blunt – they seem like they have a good time wherever they go, Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart – they're so smart and funny, Idris Elba – that man is so sexy, and Keanu Reeves – he just seems like the sweetest person you will ever meet.
Would you do the cooking?
I would love to do the cooking! I would probably make a chicken dish that Kristen's mom, Kathy, shared with me one time, that I make a lot now. My boyfriend calls it Tomorrow Sauce because it tastes even better the next day. It's ground chicken and garlic tomato sauce but I add corn and serve it with some type of pasta. I prefer orzo or rigatoni. Also, I'd make popovers. Everyone should Google it and make it – and, you're welcome.


Ask a real estate agent to name the top homebuying trend for 2016, and it's very likely he or she will say "going green." Consumer surveys show that sustainable features are on buyers' want lists at much higher levels than ever before. And for those homeowners who can't or don't want to move to a greener home, retrofitting efficiency features into a home through a remodel just makes sense.
Energy-efficiency updates, like new major appliances and light bulbs, aren't new to homeowners, who have been making these kinds of changes since the early 2000s. But as concern over environmental issues has grown, buyers have cast around for new ways to take control of their energy consumption. At the same time, there's a growing understanding that technology can solve problems we never even knew we had – like how to get a new laptop overnight – and that's made some very optimistic about tech's potential to circumvent a looming energy crisis. The question is, what kind of advances will homeowners ultimately choose?
Solar – under the influence of smart technology, such as smart meters – is a fairly safe bet. This year, for instance, stands to perhaps go down as the tipping point for solar. U.S. solar industry reports predict that 2016 could be record shattering, further cementing photovoltaics as a formidable contender in energy markets.
And then there's home automation – a bevy of appliances, devices and home systems designed to automate routine daily tasks. These devices, known collectively as the Internet of Things, or IoT, are a part of the next wave of computing, where everyday objects will be connected to the Internet and environmental sensors, making them able to "read" behavioral patterns and predict how to act. The energy-saving potential for these devices is huge, as they could presumably automate manual tasks users must perform to scale back their energy consumption: shutting off the lights, turning down the thermostat – that sort of thing. And although there's some evidence that homeowners have been abandoning the first wave of smart devices, by most predictions, the IoT will grow steadily over the next 10 years.
Solar and IoT might seem like separate trends that have nothing to do with one another. But the two are a lot more interconnected than you might think. They've both risen up out of homeowners' preference for greener, more energy-efficient products. And, as solar gains popularity and becomes more technological advanced, there's evidence that it may take the next wave of smart products beyond the outlet.
A series of independently connected devices sounds like an enormous drain on energy resources, especially when you read futurist predictions that involve motion and pressure sensors mounted on nearly every surface in the home. All that activity requires a lot of wiring and a lot of power, and keeping the Web up and going is already a huge task, environmentally speaking. For instance, data servers last year collectively consumed around 416.2 terawatt-hours of electricity, significantly more than the entire United Kingdom, an amount that experts predict may triple by the close of the next decade.
Yet, many IoT devices tout their energy efficiency as one of their main selling points. These products help educate homeowners about their energy use and savings using a reward system that gives them "points" when they meet certain savings goals. And there may be something to it beyond standard corporate greenwashing: a highly reported study by the Consumer Technology Association found that temperature and lighting controls could reduce consumer energy consumption 10%.
We humans aren't very good at remembering to turn off the lights or the heat by themselves – programmable thermostats have been recommended over manual temperature controls for years by the U.S. Department of Energy. However, studies showed that the majority of programmable thermostats weren't being used as such; many remained in the "hold" setting, meaning that they were essentially being turned off and on manually, negating any energy savings through automation. Although smart thermostats are still relatively new, initial data seems to point to their efficiency. Independent studies have confirmed estimates that these products save homeowners an average 12% in their electricity consumption.
There's the potential for home IoT devices to bridge the gap not just in areas where we're forgetful about energy use, but where we can't even see it. Many appliances that run continuously, such as water heaters and refrigerators, cycle through various levels of activity in order to save energy. But grid-connective appliances could sync to match community energy demand and supply – a feature that becomes all the more important as we begin to talk about switching to utility-scale solar installations. Because solar energy production can be unpredictable, having more resources at a utility's disposal to manage grid load is essential. Grid analysts will also be able to make use of more precise energy use data and single out problematic appliances and areas.
Similarly, many homeowners' switch to solar power is due mainly to the proliferation of smart energy meters, which allow utilities to digitally collect time-of-use data. These devices represent the first in a larger shift in energy management – the grid itself will likewise need to become "smarter" and more responsive to handle complex load balancing. Digitally connected transmission wires and transformers are needed to allow utilities to draw energy from distributed resources and respond quickly to avoid blackouts.
Overall, many industries are about to be transformed by the use of "big data," environmental information collected from a variety of independent stations. Industrial IoT has practical applications across all kinds of fields: monitoring roads and railways, tracking mining information, or sniffing out problems with reservoirs. To get there, professionals in these industries need devices that are independently powered, since monitoring points may be located far away from conventional power outlets. That's where solar comes in. The rise of organic photovoltaics will allow for a huge range of new independently powered tracking tools to be produced and used – without putting more drain on the grid.
Off-grid living strikes a chord amongst homeowners wrestling with current economic circumstances. Still, off-grid living is far from perfect and requires homeowners to reconsider their energy use in a way that they might not have before.
Whether or not homeowners decide to sever all ties to the grid, they become more conscious of their energy use when they install solar panels. Meanwhile, states with production-based incentives for solar-powered households give homeowners all the more reason to limit wasteful energy practices, because using less power around the house means a higher payout from their utility.
Increasingly, solar installers are expected to not just do the job of a technical laborer, but also provide advice on overall energy home energy use. Automated appliances and home systems offer a simple, one-size-fits-all recommendation that will help most homeowners save energy use.
Switching to nonrenewable energy sources presents all sorts of challenges for homeowners and energy professionals. Energy efficiency and renewable technology has certainly become more streamlined and widely available over the past 30 years, but it's still not enough to make a total conversion from carbon-based power sources at this point. The tech is going to have to get better – and smarter – before that day will arrive.


After Chris Sail's continuously says he never laid a hand on his girlfriend aggressively, video of him admitting to hitting his girlfriend has now been released.
He swore on god, his son, his life, and put his word on everything that those things never happened, and he never laid a hand on her.
Another woman who asked to be believed, and was called a liar. Now, out of his own mouth, without knowing he was being recorded, admits he put his hands on her. So if anything was made up, it's obviously him as he told multiple lies, from his version of the story, to the point of aggressively swearing on God and his Son.

Q: sql runner pge? does anyone know what the c# looks like or can point me to the sample online of a page that consits of a textbox that you can type a sql command into, a button and a bound grid that will be bound the the sql that was entered.

A: This is a very big no no (because anybody with access to the page can do anything to your database) but If I understand you correctly, the following will work:
In your button_click method that gets called when you click the button you can do the following:
DataSet dsResults = new DataSet();
string connectionString = "Data Source=[Server]; Integrated Security=SSPI; Initial Catalog=[DataBaseName];"
    using (SqlConnection sqlCon = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
    {
        sqlCon.Open();
        SqlCommand sqlCom = new SqlCommand(txtSql.Text,sqlCon);
        SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(sqlCom);
        da.Fill(dsResults);
    }

    gvResults.DataSource = dsResults;
    gvResults.DataBind();

where gvResults is your datagrid and txtSql is your textbox you enter the sql into.
Also remember to set your connection string in the variable named connection string

Should I start my own LLC?
ForumsArrowStarting OutArrowShould I start my own LLC?
I will hopefully be beginning wholesaling within the next few weeks and I just had a simple question. Should I start an LLC for my real estate business? There are benefits to this, right? If so, what are they? Any help/guidance would be awesome!
Hey @Scott Autenreith I am not an expert on this but I am about to put my two current rentals into their own LLCs (and should have a long time ago) because each LLC is a separate legal entity. As I understand it the primary reason to put your real estate business in to LLCs is asset protection to limit your personal liability.
If something happened (knock on wood) and a property of yours got sued (rightfully or not) and you owned the property traditionally, you could be sued for any amount of your personal assets (house, car, wage garnishment...). If the property was owned by an LLC and was sued, the legal action would only pertain to assests owned by that LLC (hence the one for each property idea).
If it were me, I'd make some money first and then look at forming an LLC. But coming to Bigger Pockets is a great place to learn about the pros and cons of an LLC! All the best!
Thanks @Madeline Burke . If I wanted an LLC, where would I start?
@Scott Autenreith so this is the part where I have to do research myself. I am under the impression that a lawyer can help you set up your first one and that its just a matter of filing it properly, which varies by state. I've heard that you can do subsequent ones yourself after you have the paperwork and understand the process.
I am just getting started in real estate investing, but Anderson Advisors is helping me set up a C corporation and a LLC before I get going. Part of the reason for this is to help convert my IRA into a solo 401k, but I feel better having the structures for tax purposes and for liability protection.
Scott, you could start by chatting with an Arizona licensed attorney that works almost exclusively with real estate investors, including wholesalers, to determine when you should set up that LLC and discuss how it should be taxed, etc. I happen to be one if you'd like to chat.
I would encourage you to speak with both a good tax accountant familiar with real estate investors and an attorney. Creating a firewall of protection is definitely a good idea, but you want to make sure you are following the right path and putting yourself in the best possible position tax wise.
I'm not a legal or financial professional, and this is not advice. Contact your own professional for advice.
That said, for wholesaling or any other short-term cash flow, you want an S-corp.
LLCs are for long term holds.

The New Symphony Orchestra, as it was then called, gave its first performance in April 1923 at Massey Hall. The name Toronto Symphony Orchestra was adopted four years later.

Tracking parameters allow analytics programs to differentiate between paid ads and other sources of traffic, such as direct visits, organic searches, or referrals. They are invaluable for understanding the effectiveness of online advertising.
If this link is popular enough, then search engines will begin to index this URL. It may supplant the same version of this page without tracking parameters in the search results. Clicks on this new organic result will increment the visits number for Google(cpc) when it should really be attributed to Google(organic).
One popular SEO method of dealing with this challenge is instituting a 301 redirect and storing campaign variables in a cookie. Although this prevents search engines from indexing the same content multiple times, it has the undesired effect of stripping campaign parameters and generally messing up analytics tracking (boo!).
Google now supports a new format that provides webmasters with more control over the URL that is returned in the search results. You can specify your preferred version of the URL so that properties like link popularity are consolidated to this version. Unlike the 301 redirect, this will not affect your analytics tracking.

Weston Super Mare is home to the Grand Pier, a futuristic place of thrills, fun and much more. If you had come to the pier less than a decade ago it would have been a very different story, as it was a classic looking wooden pier with a small selection of rides and not much else. After a catastrophic fire on the 28th July 2008 that tore through the entire building, a new and futuristic pier was born from the ashes. The new pier opened in October 2010 and is very different to its predecessor in a variety of ways. Entering through the only original part of the pier, you take a stroll along the boardwalk before entering through the doors into this bright, futuristic pavilion. From Go-Karts to a Robocoaster, there is a huge selection of rides within the relatively small space of the pier. As it is all inside it is the perfect all-weather attraction, and is a great place to spend a few hours on the slot machines or taking a ride on some of the attractions. Highlights include the dizzying Robocoaster, the surprisingly thrilling Free-fall drop ride and the Crazy Circus Funhouse. There are also loads of interactive games and slot machines that you can enjoy as well, collecting prizes in exchange for tickets. Overall, the Grand Pier is a great day out, and has a variety of ways for you to enjoy a rainy afternoon!


Who should be the next Indian Test captain?
Ganguly who has been nicknamed Bengal Tiger, Prince of Calcutta, Lord Snooty by his opponents, and affectionately Dada by his team-mates, went on to become the captain of the Indian cricket team from 2000 to 2005. He led India to the 2003 World Cup finals, and holds the Indian captaincy record for the most Test victories. Following an exit from the national team in early 2006, Ganguly was recalled to the Indian test side in December, staging a successful comeback in the 2006 - 2007 Indian tour of South Africa.

Il Pranayama (controllo ritmico del respiro) è il quarto stadio dello Yoga, secondo lo Yogasutra di Patañjali. Insieme a Pratyahara (ritiro della mente dagli oggetti dei sensi), questi due stati dello Yoga sono conosciuti come le ricerche interiori (antaranga sadhana) ed insegnano come controllare la respirazione e la mente, quale mezzo per liberare i sensi dalla schiavitù degli oggetti di desiderio. La parola Pranayama è formata da Prana (fiato, respiro vitale, respiro, vita, vitalità, vigore, energia, forza, potenza, e spirito) e da Ayama (lunghezza, controllo, espansione). Il suo significato è quindi di controllo ed estensione del respiro.
Tale controllo si attua durante le classiche quattro fasi (vritti) le quali sono, a loro volta, regolate dal "luogo (desha), dal tempo (kala) e dal numero (samkhya)" (Yogasutra II, 50):

inspirazione (puraka)
pausa respiratoria dopo l'inspirazione (antara kumbhaka)
espirazione (rechaka)
pausa respiratoria dopo l'espirazione (bahya kumbhaka)

Nei testi di Hata Yoga, in generale il termine kumbhaka  (da kumbha: brocca per acqua, calice) è usato per includere le tre fasi di inspirazione, espirazione e trattenimento del respiro.
Quando il respiro viene trattenuto dopo una inspirazione, viene chiamato antara kumbhaka (interno, interiore). Quando viene trattenuto dopo una espirazione, viene chiamato bahya kumbhaka (esterno, esteriore).
La scelta di giusti modelli ritmici della respirazione profondi e lenti, rafforzano il sistema respiratorio, calmano il sistema nervoso e riducono la bramosia. La mente si libera e diventa un mezzo adatto per la concentrazione.
L'emotività influisce sul ritmo del respiro e lo trasforma in rapido, poco profondo e incontrollato. Il controllo del respiro permette il controllo della mente. Dato che lo scopo dello Yoga è calmare e controllare la mente, lo Yogi apprende la tecnica del Pranayama per dominare il respiro, in modo da controllare i sensi, raggiungere così lo stato di Pratyahara e predisporsi per  dhyāna (meditazione). Generalmente, il pranayama viene definito come "cessazione della inspirazione e della espirazione (Yogasutra, II, 49).

Tipologia di respirazione

Nello yoga si distinguono tre tipologie di respirazione:

 respirazione addominale : utilizza principalmente la parte inferiore dei polmoni. Durante la inspirazione, grazie alla funzione esercitata dal diaframma, l'addome si gonfia e si crea una depressione nella gabbia toracica: i polmoni si dilatano e l'aria penetra in profondità. Nellespirazione il diaframma sale e crea un aumento di pressione nella gabbia toracica che tende a svuotare i polmoni. L'addome si sgonfia. La quantità di aria scambiata in una respirazione profonda addominale è massima. Questo tipo di respirazione permette dunque di ottenere una buona ossigenazione del sangue arterioso e crea una benefica pressione sugli organi interni, realizzando un massaggio continuo.
 respirazione toracica : utilizza principalmente la parte centrale e superiore dei polmoni. Durante la inspirazione si effettua un allargamento delle costole mediante i muscoli intercostali. La cassa toracica si dilata ed espande i polmoni consentendo all'aria di penetrare. Durante l'''espirazione i muscoli intercostali si contraggono diminuendo il volume toracico e spingendo l'aria fuori dal torace. La quantità di aria che penetra è inferiore a quella della respirazione addominale.
 respirazione clavicolare : utilizza principalmente la parte superiore dei polmoni. L'aria entra nei polmoni mediante il movimento in alto delle clavicole e delle spalle. La quantità di aria che penetra nei polmoni è minima.

Principali tecniche di Pranayama
L'addestramento del Pranayama necessita una profonda conoscenza delle āsana e deve essere eseguito con la supervisione di un Guru o di un maestro esperto. Il momento migliore per la pratica del Pranayama è il mattino presto (prima dell'alba) e dopo il tramonto. Si consiglia di praticarlo almeno 15 minuti al giorno, con proposito e regolarità, alla stessa ora, luogo, posizione, seduti sul pavimento, su un piccolo cuscino o una coperta piegata, mantenendo la schiena eretta. Si dovranno tenere gli occhi chiusi, altrimenti la mente avrà facilità a distrarsi a causa degli oggetti esterni. L'uniformità della respirazione renderà la mente serena e calma.
Il Pranayama dovrà essere eseguito non più di 15 minuti dopo una calma pratica di asana. Dopo aver terminato la pratica, stendersi in posizione Shavasana (o Savasana) per almeno 5 – 10 min, in completo rilassamento e silenzio, per rinfrescare sia il corpo che la mente.

He and his wife just closed a $186,000 deal with AOL. This was their big break.
They were driving from Baltimore to Dulles, VA to a signing party – a champagne-filled celebration of the great work they've put forth and the bright road ahead.
That's when they got the call. There was a new Director at AOL. All deals were being paused. No champagne, no party.
A few weeks later, the deal was off.
Mario and his wife quit their jobs to make this dream happen. With a 5-year-old son, they cashed in their 401(k), built up credit card debt and found themselves flat broke.
Then the 2008 recession hit.
His mother-in-law was buying his family's groceries. He went to the Coinstar just to get money for gas.
On one particular day, he went to "go get a coffee." He sat in the Starbucks parking lot and never got out of his car. Instead, he cried. And cried.
His dream in 2007 was to host a nationally televised talk show.
So how did he win an Emmy this year for his talk show "The Never Settle Show"?
Mario broke down exactly what he wanted to achieve in his plan and broke that down into small, achievable steps along the way. He turned his annual goals into monthly, weekly and daily goals and got to work.
When Mario built enough credibility with the national audience, he pitched his idea to all of the major networks – an interactive talk show. One where the audience gets to choose the topics, have a live vote on the direction of the show and each show is wildly different from the last.
When no major network bit on his idea, Mario came to the realization that these people should not and could not hold his destiny in their hands. They were merely gatekeepers. Using his knowledge of technology, he funded the show and got it aired on Facebook Live.
5 days before our conversation, Mario was on stage holding his Emmy proudly.
You control your life. If you have a dream, it's up to you (and your team) to make it happen.
Don't listen to the naysayers or the dream-killers.
Go out and get it done.
Thank you, Mario, for the further proof that it can be done.
Now, time to get Emmy #2.

Nestle aims to shed skin unit to focus on food, nutrition
Nestle put its skin health unit up for sale on Thursday, as the maker of Nescafe and Perrier water ditches underperforming businesses and fends off criticism from an activist investor demanding an overhaul.
Nestle said it was exploring strategic options for the unit, saying "the future growth opportunities of Nestle Skin Health lie increasingly outside the group's strategic scope" and did not fit in with a sharper focus on food, drinks and nutritional health.
Nestle agreed this week to sell its Gerber Life Insurance business for $1.55 billion, while sources told Reuters it was also bidding for GlaxoSmithKline's Horlicks drink.
The skin health unit makes Cetaphil and Proactiv skin care brands, Restylane wrinkle fillers and prescription dermatology treatments. It had sales of 2.7 billion Swiss francs ($2.8 billion) last year, accounting for about 3 percent of Nestle's total.
Vontobel analyst Jean-Philippe Bertschy estimated the business was worth 6 billion to 6.5 billion francs, excluding financial debt, provisions and deferred taxes. He said it could fetch between 6 billion and 8 billion francs in a sale. Another analyst put the sale value at about 7 billion francs.
Nestle Skin Health was formed in 2014 when Nestle bought L'Oreal's stake in their Galderma dermatology venture.
Jefferies analyst Martin Deboo said the most likely exit options were a leveraged buyout or a sale to L'Oreal, if the French cosmetics firm followed Nestle in making a strategic U-turn.
L'Oreal, in which Nestle is a shareholder, declined to comment.
Nestle, the world's largest packaged food company, is under pressure from Third Point, a hedge fund run by investor Daniel Loeb, to take bold moves to improve returns.
Chief Executive Mark Schneider, the first externally hired CEO in nearly a century, has addressed several of Third Point's demands, including setting a margin target and speeding up acquisitions and divestitures.
The one demand he has not addressed is the sale of Nestle's 23 percent stake in L'Oreal, worth nearly 26 billion euros.
Baader Helvea analyst Andreas von Arx said the plan to exit skin health could reignite talk about the stake since that also lay outside the vision Nestle outlined on Thursday.
"Sharpening our strategic focus on Nestle's core food, beverage and nutritional health products offers the best opportunity for long-term profitable growth and is fully in line with the pursuit of our company's purpose," said Paul Bulcke, Nestle's chairman and former CEO.
When Bulcke ran Nestle, skin treatments were a major part of a push into higher growth and more profitable health products taken to counter a slowdown in its traditional food businesses.
But the unit has performed poorly, incurring one-off costs including inventory writedowns and a significant goodwill impairment this year. Last year, Nestle started restructuring the business, cutting jobs and closing a factory.
Divesting the business represents a symbolic break with the decisions of Schneider's predecessors, Jefferies' Deboo said.
"This in turn suggests that Schneider is being given full latitude to act in the interests of shareholder value, unbounded by the decisions of the past," he said.
Exiting skin health is something many analysts and investors had asked for, Baader Helvea's von Arx said, adding that it put Nestle "fully on track" to deliver on Schneider's promise last September to swap out as much as 10 percent of its portfolio.
Nestle has also sold its U.S. confectionery unit, and has done several deals in coffee, involving Starbucks and Blue Bottle.
The skin health review is due to be completed by mid-2019.
At the same time, Nestle said it remained committed to its health science unit, which sells medical nutritional products and bulked up with the purchase of a vitamin business this year.
Nestle shares were up nearly 1 percent at 1049 GMT. ($1 = 0.9668 Swiss francs)

No-one else has dominated the NZ political landscape the way Sir Robert Muldoon did — or been subjected to the level of TV scrutiny he was in this controversial two part series made by Neil Roberts. It was produced with his company Communicado's customary style: brooding music, big slow motion close-ups and a malevolent rotating bust — and Roberts, much like his subject, took no prisoners as he explored Muldoon's career and relationship with power. Complaints of unfairness from Dame Thea Muldoon and son Gavin were later partially upheld by the BSA.
Indie production house Communicado made their name with a stable of television shows that celebrated Kiwi culture. After the success of late-80s show That's Fairly Interesting, the company began work on Magic Kiwis, a show devoted to heroes of popular culture. Mostly the cavalcade of Kiwi celebs were stars of entertainment (Howard Morrison, Split Enz) and sports (Susan Devoy, John Walker), with the odd politician thrown in. Over three series, the half hour shows combined classic clips and interview footage, all tied together in trademark upbeat style.
Hosted by broadcaster Gordon Dryden, and screening on the second television channel, The Friday Conference aimed to be a public discussion forum as Dryden quizzed newsmakers of the day in-depth. In 1977 it shifted to Thursday nights. It was the first New Zealand current affairs programme to regularly use studio audiences. Notable interviewees included Prime Minister Robert Muldoon and Abraham Ordia, president of Africa's Supreme Council for Sport (who helped spur the African boycott of the 1976 Olympics, over the All Blacks touring apartheid South Africa).
This was a beloved six-part children's drama about the adventures of skateboarding 12-year-old Terry Teo, based on a 1982 graphic novel comic by Stephen Ballantyne and Bob Kerr. The Auckland-set series honoured the comic's distinctive New Zealand landscapes, people and humour, and gave them a cartoonish feel with larger-than-life acting, animated arcade game style sequences, bright costumes and oversized props. Former Goon Michael Bentine headed the cast which also featured Billy T James as a bikie, and a cameo from former PM Sir Robert Muldoon.
A Week of It was a pioneering comedy series that entertained and often outraged audiences over three series from 1977 to 1979. The writing team, led by David McPhail, AK Grant, Jon Gadsby, Bruce Ansley, Chris McVeigh and Peter Hawes, took irreverent aim at topical issues and public figures of the day. Amongst notable impersonations was McPhail's famous aping of Prime Minister Rob Muldoon; a catchphrase from a skit — "Jeez, Wayne" — entered NZ pop culture. The series won multiple Feltex Awards and in 1979 McPhail won Entertainer of the Year.
Hosted by television all-rounder Neil Roberts, It's Only Wednesday was a short-lived TVNZ chat show in the late 80s. It was characterised by Roberts' energy as host, and performances by Grant Chilcott's swing band Wentworth-Brewster & Co. The It's Only Wednesday format saw guests staying on after their interviews, leading to some eclectic company sharing the couch. The guests included former Prime Minister Robert Muldoon, and pop group When the Cat's Away.


Another way of creating a structure on a platform bed is to make use of a metal steel frame with either European slats or solid paneling secured to the frame. This frame then merely floats or rests on the frame below it providing sufficient support for many any mattress. The solid paneling systems are becoming more preferred as people purchase latex or memory foam mattresses which frequently need a solid foundation underneath them to fulfill the guarantee requirements. In this regard platform bed systems are flexible and can work for mattresses that require air circulation or have to offer firm support.
The sorts of comforter sets that are do not wrinkle are available in all the common sizes – queen, king, and California king. Most business are starting to make their comforters with this product, so it will not be long prior to you do not even need to watch out for it. However, there are currently still a lot of options that do not have the unique threading that prevents wrinkles. You are probably knowledgeable about the kind; no matter what you do, you cannot get them to look straight and they wind up splitting around a few of the seams.
Most rattan furniture has actually been treated against termites and ants so you will not have to stress about whether or not it will last. Not only will you conserve time, and money, however you'll also feel secure knowing that you've made a sensible choice in your acquisition. Any way you look at it purchasing a rattan living space set or rattan bedroom set for your personal is something you should consider.
Some Air beds are sold with built in Pumps, while air beds with built in pumps are reputable, these beds are more suited for grownups in home use. Air beds preferable for kids are double beds and twin size light evaluate air beds; a perfect lightweight bed is the Intex Double air bed. Air Beds are not new there are many terrific models designs and choices on the marketplace. The flexibility they provide kids is now being found by families, and soon every home will embraces their convenience.

Thorndyke Thoughts
Hey Kids,
One of my favorite reasons to read is to discover places I've never been and learn about other people. Particularly in the wintertime I enjoy this kind of traveling, and I always like improving my understanding of the worlds and its people. Africa is a continent, made up of many different countries, that sometimes seems very far away. Try some of these books to bring it a little closer.

Best Non-Fiction of 2017
January 1, 2018 | madame librarian
Every year the Canton Public Library staff name their favorite book of the year. This list is a mixture of Adult, Teen, Tween, and Children's Non-fiction published between December 2016 - December 2017.
There's no such thing as bad weather : a Scandinavian mom's secrets for raising healthy, resilient, and confident kids (from friluftsliv to hygge) by Linda Akeson McGurk
When Swedish-born Linda McGurk moved to small-town Indiana with her American husband to start a family, she quickly realized that her outdoorsy ways were not the norm. In Sweden children play outside all year round, regardless of the weather, and letting young babies nap outside in freezing temperatures is not only common--it is a practice recommended by physicians. In the US, on the other hand, she found that the playgrounds, which she had expected to find teeming with children, were mostly deserted. In preschool, children were getting drilled to learn academic skills, while their Scandinavian counterparts were climbing trees, catching frogs, and learning how to compost. Worse, she realized that giving her daughters the same freedom to play outside that she had enjoyed as a child in Sweden could quickly lead to a visit by Child Protective Services.
Birding without borders : an obsession, a quest, and the biggest year in the world by Noah K Strycker
Traveling to 41 countries in 2015 with a backpack and binoculars, Noah Strycker became the first person to see more than half the world's 10,000 species of birds in one year. In 2015, Noah Strycker set himself a lofty goal: to become the first person to see half the world's birds in one year. For 365 days, with a backpack, binoculars, and a series of one-way tickets, he traveled across forty-one countries and all seven continents, eventually spotting 6,042 species--by far the biggest birding year on record. This is no travelogue or glorified checklist. Noah ventures deep into a world of blood-sucking leeches, chronic sleep deprivation, airline snafus, breakdowns, mudslides, floods, war zones, ecologic devastation, conservation triumphs, common and iconic species, and scores of passionate bird lovers around the globe. By pursuing the freest creatures on the planet, Noah gains a unique perspective on the world they share with us--and offers a hopeful message that even as many birds face an uncertain future, more people than ever are working to protect them.

Would an existing network build with unsealed duct, the Rod&Roll™ push the rod to keep the usage of the actual infrastructure in place.
The Rod&Roll™ is designed to push a duct rod into an underground duct then to pull a cable back and install it. It is a mechanized version of rod pushing to improve the efficiency of manual installation of optical fiber, coaxial cables, copper cables and sub-ducts in occupied conventional ducts.
Easy to use, compact and lightweight, it can be adapted to hard-to-reach places.
Operations outside manholes significantly improve operator safety. Its speed for pushing, pulling and storing the duct rod, as well as the ability to perform cascade work while requiring fewer operators increases daily production and reduces costs compared to traditional manual cable pulling.

SPINVFX Welcomes Filmmakers to TIFF 2018
For the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), SPINVFX was part of rolling out the red carpet for the hundreds of visitors that arrived in the city for the festivities.
The world-renowned festival attracts the biggest names in the film and television business, as well as thousands of fans who vie to be first in line to see the movies and meet the stars. In addition to a packed screening schedule, TIFF also includes extensive event programming, with functions such as discussion panels, live shows, and exclusive parties.
This year, SPINVFX was proud to be one of the sponsors and hosts of xoTO House, a lounge hosted by the City of Toronto in partnership with several film and TV industry leaders in the heart of the TIFF district on 'Festival Street'. SPINVFX joined the opening night festivities with Toronto Mayor John Tory, and City of Toronto Economic Development & Culture General Manager, Mike Williams on the first night of TIFF. Toronto Film, TV & Digital Media Board Co-Chair, Councillor Paula Fletcher, also appeared at the lounge on the following evenings, keeping the energy high and demonstrating the City's ongoing support for the festival. xoTO House served as an epicentre for industry leaders and government representatives, all of whom enjoyed the dedicated space for meeting colleagues and friends, connecting filmmakers, and, of course, having an unforgettable party. The xoTO House is one of the many ways that the Toronto Film Office works to support our screen-based industry in the City.
SPINVFX was also the host of a TIFF Industry Happy Hour on the first Saturday of the festival. In partnership with TIFF, SPINVFX was joined by over 200 guests at Toronto's CBC Building for some good food and drinks, and great conversation. Attendees were also encouraged to visit the SPINVR booth, where they were able to enter virtual reality in the middle of the party to play a mind-bending game in BRIOVR. Before leaving the event, guests were charmed with a red rose from SPINVFX President, Neishaw Ali.
With the close of another successful TIFF, Toronto has again proven itself to be a cultural destination. As a member of the Toronto film and television community, SPINVFX is proud to host the world in our esteemed city, and to be a part of our boundless, creative community.
