Instagram is testing geo-restriction for stories and posts
by Ivan Mehta — in Apps
Instagram is testing a geofencing feature for stories and posts. This will allow the creators to post their content to selected countries, instead of being universally available.
App researcher Jane Manchun Wong pointed out on Twitter that while creating posts, users will be able to choose specific countries where they want to show their content. It seems that this feature will also be available for stories.

Early birds get all the good stuff
Like a great price on TNW2020 tickets
However, the biggest change will probably be for change for brands as they will be able to limit some of the content with restricted rights in certain countries. It also gives a chance for creators to make location specific content.
Plenty of social networks like Twitter and Facebook offer restriction controls for content on a country-by-country basis.

The new Instagram features haven't been rolled out to the users or officially announced yet — so it's still unclear when you'll be able to make use of them. We have reached out to Instagram for a comment and will update this story accordingly.
Even though there's still no official launch date for the new features, it's clear that Instagram is keen on exploring how to utilize users' location better. The latest official update from Instagram promotes voting and registration for the US mid-term elections through stickers and ads.

The Smell of Death in London
By Shawn | July 23, 2012 - 7:22 pm | July 23, 2012 General Articles
The Olympic Games this year of 2012 consists of the strangest energy from the time I can remember. Most people I talk to comments on how they feel something bad will happen during the 2012 Olympic Games in London, and many people commenting are unaware of the New World Order Agenda and still believe that 9/11 happened from Islamic extremists.
Steve Jackson created The Illuminati Card Game in 1995 that consists of 330 cards. Two of the cards portray the Twin Towers of New York bombed and the Pentagon. Out of the 330 cards, there is one card that projects Olympic colors that are within the "Combined Disaster Card". We view Big Ben in the background and five people wearing the colors of the Olympics.
London Metropolitan Agglomeration today covers an area of 8,382 square kilometres (3,236 sq mi) has a population of 12,653,500 and a population density of 1,510 inhabitants per square kilometre (3,900 /sq mi). A major disaster in London would change the world and possible set off a Nuclear confrontation that could allow an excuse for the Aliens to intervene.
History of Death in London:
The Black Death Plague engulfed London including most parts of Europe in the 14th century. The Black Death, a bubonic plague pandemic which reached Europe in 1347 spread to England in 1348, and killed between a third and more than half of the nation's inhabitants.
The Great Plague (1664–1666) was the last major epidemic of the bubonic plague to occur in the Kingdom of England (modern day United Kingdom). The Great Plague killed an estimated 100,000 people, about 20% of London's population.
The Great Fire of London (1966) was a major conflagration that swept through the central parts of the English city of London, from Sunday, 2 September to Wednesday, 5 September 1666. The fire gutted the medieval City of London inside the old Roman City Wall. It threatened, but did not reach, the aristocratic district of Westminster, Charles II's Palace of Whitehall, and most of the suburban slums. It consumed 13,200 houses, 87 parish churches, St. Paul's Cathedral and most of the buildings of the City authorities. It is estimated to have destroyed the homes of 70,000 of the City's 80,000 inhabitants.
When a severe cold spell hit London in early December 1952, Londoners did what they usually did in such a situation; they burned more coal to heat up their homes. Then on December 5, 1952, a layer of dense fog engulfed the city and stayed for five days. The death toll of the Great Smog of 1952 was shocking. Pollution, which many had thought was just a part of city life, overall the smog had killed 12,000 people.
The City of London has a history of death.
The Possible Combined Disasters at the 2012 Olympics:
In addition to the possible release of a Nuclear bomb by the illuminati at the olympics that could break the Thames Barrier and also cause a flood, there is one other scenario—the release of a superbug—drug-resistant Tuberculosis, The Bird Flu or E Coli. Tuberculosis, also known as "consumption", is a horrific wasting disease that is acquired by inhalation into the lungs, where it can cause disease (pulmonary tuberculosis), but can spread to other organs in the body, resulting in various presentations (meningitis, Pott's Disease, etc.)
There is the possibility for a viral pathogen to be released during the opening ceremony and throughout the Olympics and it would remain in the incubation phase. As thousands of people return to their homes around the world carrying the virus would create a global virus outbreak. Tuberculosis has an incubation period that can be up to several months. HAARP and other forms of electro-magnetic radiation devices may be used to trigger the latent virus months after the initial loading process. Apparently radioactive waste causes mutations in the viruses and bacteria, which is exactly what is needed to bring forth the human-to-human transmission required for a global pandemic. With that being said, is it any wonder that hundreds of tons of radioactive waste were buried in the exact spot that the Olympic Stadium now resides?
The site where the world's greatest athletes will compete in two years' time was once home to several dirty industries working with thorium and radium and also home to a number of landfill sites, where illegal dumping of toxic waste was commonplace in the 1950s and early 1960s. Although the Radioactive Substances Act of 1960 tightened the law, dumping was allowed to continue for another three years.
In July 2008, the ODA told the Environment Agency that it had found 40 cubic metres, about 50 tonnes, of waste that showed radioactive readings up to three times higher than the levels at which waste is treated as exempt. But it argued that when put together with 1,500 cubic metres of material that was "definitely exempt" this would bring the whole waste into the exempt category.
The final point made that needs to be addressed is the "necessary mutations" that this Superbug must make in order to become communicable. The necessary atmospheric conditions fostering such a mutation have already been created via the radioactive waste present under the Olympic Stadium.
Danny Boyle is the man responsible of the opening ceremony that will portray A village cricket team, 12 horses, 10 chickens, 70 sheep, a model of Glastonbury Tor, two mosh pits, and the largest harmonically tuned bell in the world are among the sights that will greet the world when the curtain comes up on the London Olympics. The show will open with a rural pastoral vision that evokes William Blake and Jerusalem. Danny Boyle made about wanting the Opening Ceremony to have a "visceral impact" and for it to be a "collective experience".
According to MedTerms.com the definition of Visceral:
Referring to the viscera, the internal organs of the body, specifically those within the chest (as the heart or lungs) or abdomen (as the liver, pancreas or intestine)
In a figurative sense, something "visceral" is felt "deep down." "It is a gut feeling."
Along with this portray of the countryside of England there will also be "synthetic clouds" over the opening ceremony.
Boyle also teased that there would be "real clouds" over the stadium.
"They will be real clouds that will be hanging over the stadium. Work that out if you can. We know we're an island culture and an island climate. One of these clouds will provide rain on the evening, just in case it doesn't rain."
Danny Boyle directed Slumdog Millionaire and Trainspotting, 127 hours, but also "28 days Later", that tells the story of a virus that is released from mad apes into the public of London. The isle of England is quarantined as the virus kills the population. Nearly all major publications failed to mention Boyle's connection to "28 Days Later" is very telling as their conspicuous silence speaks loudly! 28 Days Later was released by DNA Films.
The Garden of Eden:
From the above picture, within the back of the Olympic stadium, there will be a grassy hill with a Tree mounted on top. This display is supposed to replicate Galstonbury Tor. The roofless St. Michael's Tower on top is the only apparent feature at the real Galstombury Tor, but the version in the stadium replaces that with a fake tree.
You can ascertain about the true context of the Garden of Eden and I conjecture that the opening ceremony will anoint the Master of the Darkness, and they are using a "Garden of Eden setting" because the test of the tree allowed the Devil to dominate over the offspring of Adam and Eve. The tree represents the rulership and domination of the Master of the Darkness that stems back to the Garden of Eden.
If this is the plan, then the illuminati might blow up the whole Olympic sporting event at the end of the games as a blood sacrifice and to cause a Nuclear conflict. This calamity of Nuclear/Flood/Superbug will allow the Antichrist to set up "Zion" in England for the New World Order.

Batman Killings:
AURORA, Colo. (Reuters) – A gunman in a gas mask and body armor killed 12 people at a midnight premiere of the new "Batman" movie in a suburb of Denver early on Friday, opening fire on moviegoers after hurling a gas canister into the theater.
Armed with an assault rifle, a shotgun and a pistol, he wounded 59 others with gunfire during a screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" at a mall in Aurora, which turned into a chaotic scene of bleeding victims.
Bulgarian Bus Bomb:
BURGAS, Bulgaria (Reuters) – A suicide bomber carried out an attack that killed seven people in a bus transporting Israeli tourists in Bulgaria, the interior minister said on Thursday, and Israel said Iranian-backed Hezbollah militants were to blame.
We might hear for more CIA minded controlled assassins later this week pulling off more death.
Posted July 8th 2012:
JACKSONVILLE — The CDC officer had a serious warning for Florida health officials in April: A tuberculosis outbreak in Jacksonville was one of the worst his group had investigated in 20 years. Linked to 13 deaths and 99 illnesses, including six children, it would require concerted action to stop.
That report had been penned on April 5, exactly nine days after Florida Gov. Rick Scott signed the bill that shrank the Department of Health and required the closure of the A.G. Holley State Hospital in Lantana, where tough tuberculosis cases have been treated for more than 60 years.

Shoutout to my friend Ebony for sending me a bunch of Korean skincare goodies! Friends don't let friends suffer through ipsy skincare alone.
Today we're getting up close and personal with my eye bags. I can hear my mom shouting that it's my ALLERGIES and I am PERFECT. It's not allergies, it's just my face. I'll let her say that I'm perfect, because moms.
I always have eye bags. Nothing short of a professional is going to get rid of them. I use creams. I hydrate. I mostly get enough sleep. I don't expect these patches to do much. They're cool, though. Both in style and temperature.
They're translucent, shiny, and a neat jelly texture. I'm not sure what claims they're making, or what magic ingredients they have, because I don't read Korean. I do know that collagen is too large to be absorbed through your skin. So that's not doing anything.
For the sake of science, I tried these on a day that I didn't sleep well after doing two 12 hour days at work. There's some room for improvement on my face.
I think that I have less redness under my eyes. The area around my eye bags might be more plump from the hydration, which reduces the appearance of the bags a little.
I still need concealer, but it did something tangible! Is there a gif for that? I feel like there should be a gif for products I try that actually do things.
I should exclusively start using products with packaging I can't read. This is the least complaining I've ever done.
Stay tuned for an excessive amount of Korean sheet mask reviews!
Posted on April 22, 2018 April 29, 2018 by AprilPosted in putting weird stuff on my face, reviews, skin careTagged beauty, kbeauty, korean skincare, review, reviews, skincare.
Those eye patches look awesome! Can't wait to read about your sheet masks!
She sent me some very very good ones and them some that she straight up told me she didn't like, haha.
APRIL YOUR BLOG IS MY FAVORITE.
Honestly, I think it made quite a considerable difference!
I have the same eyes and I had such high hopes for my eye patches too. I just bought something from The Ordinary skincare line to help with this so hopefully it works. I didn't know that the molecules in collagen are too big to pass through the skin! I've gotten got all of these years?!? Haha, welp.
Did you get the caffeine solution from them? I tried that for a bit and it made my skin crepey and dry.
And aww, I'm sorry you had to find out about collagen this way, haha.
Why do you know my entire existence so well??? I am still going to try it because I am a beauty masochist. Thanks for the heads up, lol!
Hahhh, I think it's the only eye thing they have? The only one anyone is talking about anyway. Some people swear by it, so its worth a try.
I love to use these patches. These work great for treat eye bags. Thanks for sharing the great article.
ohh those look really good. I LOVE Korean skincare. It's the best. Have you tried the Heimish all clean balm? It's my go-to for removing makeup.
Ooh, I haven't heard of them! I've got their website open now and it looks nice.
It actually looks like they did make your under eyes look more hydrated. I love under eye gels because they keep my skin hydrated and smooth. I think if you used them more often it would work better. There are also some coffee bean eye creams that help a lot with puffiness, I use one from 100% pure and it's pretty good.
I think it hydrates the rest of the skin so the puffiness is less noticeable, yeah. I mostly needed to sleep, haha. I used these at peak bags to see if they did anything.
I like the eye patches look good and I think I must try.
These seemed to work really well! Can't wait to hear about more korean products, they always look so cute!


We are a non-partisian organization dedicated to bringing truth and objectivity back into the media.
Let's be honest; I think it is safe to say that most Americans do like to see our flag set ablaze. The American flag is a symbol of freedom, liberty, prosperity, and the sacrifices countless brave men and women who fought and died for this country. among a multitude of other things that I believe should not be disrespected in the manner that some people choose such as burning. However, a completely different issue comes to the forefront when someone suggests that burning the American flag should be made illegal. The issue that obviously arises pertains to the 1st amendment, particularly our freedom of speech. This is one of the core principles within one of the most complex documents ever written; one could even argue that the constitution set up the framework that has made America the greatest country in the world. There are some limitations to freedom of speech, but essentially Americans can say almost anything they want. In other countries around the world that is not possible. Take North Korea and China for example; China is an authoritarian regime that suppresses anyone opposing the communist regime in place while North Korea is the lone totalitarian regime left in the world. Some people do not have is at good as we do.
Now that I have put our right to freedom of speech into context, I want to talk about our presidential-elect Donald Trump suggesting that Americans whom burn the flag should be subject to imprisonment and/or loss of citizenship. Full disclosure, this is not the first time a high profile public official wanted to punish American flag burners; Hillary Clinton in 2005 co-sponsored a bill that would have made it illegal to burn the flag, resulting in a one-year jail sentence and a $100,000 fine. Fortunately, the bill never turned into law.
Honestly, I do not even know where to begin with this misguided belief. I have learned to take everything Trump says with a grain of salt, but we must take his words more seriously now that he is taking office this coming January. Therefore, that is exactly what I am going to do. Although I completely believe that Americans burning the flag is wrong, I do not agree with the act becoming illegal in the US. There is a clear reason that burning the flag is considered legal by the United States Supreme Court: it is considered free speech protected by the 1st amendment.
Antonin Scalia, the former Supreme Court justice (and hard-line Republican) even addressed the fact that burning the flag is protected by the 1st amendment. Texas v. Johnson, a case that reached the Supreme Court in 1989, addressed this dilemma and the ruling was that burning the flag constitutes a protected right by way of the 1st amendment. Scalia later said that he did not agree with flag burning, but the US Constitution trumps his personal views on the matter.
Scalia said: "If it were up to me, I would put in jail every sandal-wearing, scruffy-bearded weirdo who burns the American flag" but explained that he could/would not because "but I am not a king".
Clearly, Scalia could have used better language, but his point was clear. This puts Trump at odds with the US Constitution and a Supreme Court justice that he has repeatedly praised. Whether or not this will actually happen will be determined when Trump takes office, but it is important to distinguish something one does not like and something that should be illegal. Yes, most people probably hate when others burn the American flag; however, in other countries people could be incarcerated or even killed if they took part in such an act. Is that what we as a country are going to resort to? I certainly hope not. The US is great because we can voice our opinions without fearing for our lives and we must not forget that.
One last thought to consider. The flag is only a symbol. It may be a symbol for some great things that are deserving of reverence, but it is still a symbol none the less. When someone is burning the flag in protest keep in mind that what they are actually doing is proving that the American ideal of liberty is alive and well. While they may think their act is insulting the USA, they are unintentionally epitomizing our country's dedication to liberty. Regardless of your personal view on flag burning I ask you to think about the following question. Wouldn't eliminating one of the main things that the flag is meant to symbolize (free speech) be even more un-American than burning the flag in protest? Physically destroying a symbol is trivial compared to eliminating the ideas that the symbol was meant to embody.

When Flight Safety Gets Outsourced To China
by Wolf Richter • May 10, 2013 • Comments Off on When Flight Safety Gets Outsourced To China
Aircraft maintenance goes to China
Aircraft maintenance was a highly paid blue-collar job that required education, training, manual skills, and brains. It was one of the perfect American middle-class jobs with generous healthcare, retirement, and vacation benefits; and free flights! They were working for icons like Delta, American Airlines, Continental, TWA, or Pan Am. Icons indeed!
After endless rounds of Wall Street engineering and tough competition, they all went bankrupt, some of them twice. High wages and generous fringe benefits of maintenance mechanics got whittled down. Then the actual jobs, these well-paid blue-collar specialty jobs that required a lot of training and brains, the bedrock of the American middle class, were outsourced to cheap countries, including China.
Specifically to one company. It started in 1997 when Boeing announced that it would acquire for $11 million a 9.1% stake in an outfit that had opened for business the year before: Taikoo Aircraft Engineering Co. (TAECO), based at Gaoqi International Airport in Xiamen, China. Its largest shareholder is Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Co. (HAECO); among the other shareholders are Cathay Pacific and Japan Airlines. TAECO does "heavy maintenance" on aircraft, a labor-intensive job that takes around four weeks per plane – if you have enough mechanics. And cheap labor makes a huge difference for Boeing and its airline customers.
Turns out, it is a flight safety issue.
On Thursday, Syndicat ALTER, one of the unions representing the pilots of Air France, complained about an incident involving aircraft maintenance. On April 7, an Air France Airbus 340, flying from Paris to Caracas, had to be diverted to the Azores "for technical reasons." Various issues had marred the flight, from overflowing toilets to the failure of two high-frequency radios. According to ALTER, it was the aircraft's first commercial flight after heavy maintenance had been performed by TAECO.
Air France denied that the "technical problems" were in any way, shape, or form linked to the maintenance work done in China. The spokesperson defended TAECO, a company that is "internationally recognized and works for all major global airlines."
The union retorted that this incident was "but the latest in a too-long series" and pointed at three other problems that Air France had run into with TAECO, one of them affecting an Airbus, the others Boeing 747s. In one incident, a Boeing 747-400 was grounded in 2010 after someone discovered that three weeks earlier, TAECO had repainted portions of the plane using flammable paint that didn't meet heat certification criteria. In another incident there was an issue with certain parts of the wing.
Then in November 2011, an Airbus 340 was grounded in Boston, after someone discovered that about 30 screws were missing from a "large protective panel" between the fuselage and wing that serves to reduce drag. The plane had flown for five days in that condition, after heavy maintenance had been done by TAECO. ALTER described the incident in an internal document that was then leaked. Air France tried to step out the brushfire. The missing screws were supposed to hold down a piece that "was part of the outer covering of the wing and at no point was flight safety compromised," the company's spokesman said at the time.
A union spokesman wasn't so nonchalant. "Deplorable," was how he described the oversight at the TAECO plant. "Pieces of an aircraft should never simply go missing during maintenance," he explained. "It is not the first time this has happened either."
A month later, Air France buckled and suspended TAECO from performing heavy maintenance on its aircraft. Then, quietly, it restarted using TAECO, "for purely financial reasons," the union pointed out. The addiction to cheap labor, regardless of what the costs.
So on Thursday, given the "serious incidents involving maintenance carried out in the workshops of TAECO," the union demanded that management "put a definitive end to the outsourcing of maintenance" of long-haul aircraft "before one incident too many occurs."
These kinds of incidents are not made public, neither by the airlines nor by TAECO. They would rather keep them quiet. And who knows how many times they succeed. They bubble up only if an interested party – such as a union whose pilots are impacted – finds out about it and writes up an "internal" report that then gets leaked. The mainstream media don't appear to be eager to dig them up either, though it would help keep airlines honest about outsourcing maintenance to countries where people have trouble with the basics, like reading voluminous English-only maintenance manuals and making sure all the screws are in place.

Kurt Erickson Knows Nothing about the Bogus Legal Case Against Scott Walker
Posted by Eric Kohn on Monday, June 23, 2014 | Leave a Comment
A segment in Lee Newspaper's Springfield Bureau Chief Kurt Erickson's column from yesterday is some of the laziest reporting I think I've ever seen. And that's saying something.
Let's take a piece by piece look at Erickson's brief by error-filled treatment of an absolute non-story about Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, and his loathsome attempt to somehow tie it to Bruce Rauner in a ridiculous guilt-by-thin-assocation gambit:
SCOTT WALKER: The Associated Press reported Thursday that federal prosecutors believe Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker illegally coordinated fundraising with conservative groups as part of a "criminal scheme" to violate election laws during his recall election two years ago.
And right from the get-go we know that Erickson has no idea what he's talking about. Because he, like too many others in the media, are getting the basics of what was disclosed last week, and what has happened in state and federal courts up to this point, completely wrong. From an absolute must-read piece from Gabriel Malor in The Federalist:
Having launched a secret probe that has now been shut down by both the state and federal courts, the Democratic district attorneys find themselves the subject of an ongoing civil rights lawsuit for infringing the First Amendment rights of conservatives. But that is not how the media have reported the case.
Upon the unsealing of some of the probe documents by the federal appeals court, the media worked itself into a frenzy claiming that Walker was part of a criminal conspiracy. The media claim was based entirely on the subpoena document that was denied by the state judge as failing utterly to demonstrate probable cause to believe a crime occurred. In short: the judge, looking at all the evidence, found no reason to believe that a crime had occurred. That has not stopped the media from falsely implying otherwise.
So, mistaking partisan Democrat district attorneys for "federal prosecutors" is only Erickson's first error.
Again, from Malor, here's an example of how any responsible journalist should treat the Walker story:
[T]he Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel kicked off this infuriating libel with a piece that claimed, "John Doe prosecutors allege Scott Walker at center of 'criminal scheme.'" The more accurate word, of course, would have been "alleged," past-tense with the addition of the words "in denied subpoena request" or perhaps "in failed partisan investigation" or even "in politically-motivated secret investigation rejected by the state and federal courts."
Count Erickson among the journalists committing media malpractice because of ignorance or malice in this Scott Walker story by, at minimum, failing to mention either the state or federal court rulings in their reporting. As Allahpundit at HotAir put it after breaking down a Washington Post story that also omitted any mention of the state and federal court rulings, "Imagine if someone was sued, won his case, and the media reports the next day focused only on the plaintiff's accusations without mentioning the verdict." Exactly. Because that's what is happening here.
Erickson goes on:
This is the same Scott Walker whom Rauner has said he admires.
Rauner has called Walker and former Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels "role models". And Act 10 has been tremendously successful for the state, as this compilation of news stories from the Maciver Institute demonstrates. A multitude of school districts have been able to get their budgets under control and retain more of their teaching staff because of the reforms in Act 10. Illinois absolutely could benefit from this kind of adult attempt to address our state's failing schools and their exploding district budgets.
It also is the same Scott Walker who had a spokesman who is a twin brother of Rauner's communications chief.
Mike Schrimpf was working at the Republican Governor's Association when brother Chris was in the Walker camp.
Ummm, okay?
This is quite literally Erickson, in his ignorance — willful or otherwise — of the "John Doe" case against Scott Walker, trying to taint Bruce Rauner with some of the perceived scandal. So Rauner's communications director has a twin brother who works for Scott Walker. So freakin' what? Neither of those individuals have been charged with any wrong doing, and have only to this point been the subject of a bitterly partisan witch hunt that has been rejected by the courts at every single level. And even if Chris Schrimpf was engaged in something nefarious — and, again, there is exactly zero evidence that he is or has — that doesn't mean anything whatsoever for Mike and Team Rauner.
This guilt-by-loose-association trope is completely irresponsible by Erickson. He should be ashamed of himself. Especially since, even in his weak, nearly nonexistent understanding of the "John Doe" Walker case, he notes at the end:
No charges have been filed against Walker or any member of his staff.
Actually, it's more than that. It's not just that no changes have been filed. State and federal courts have rejected the entire investigation has without merit.
If Kurt Erickson is going to attempt to weakly smear Bruce Rauner, he should at least bother to know what he's talking about before he tries.


Wow. Never really realized all this. I guess the only problem I have is the whole merge folders thing. And VLC works on Macs? Haha!
I believe for typical/mouse orientated/casual users they won't notice/care much for any issues I have because they use the computer differently. But I guess there are some important things like the replace/merge issue that they do need to know. There are more issues I have and some of them are growing pains of using a Mac, because sometimes it's the little things that make the experience annoying and even frustrating.
But anyway, yes VLC does work on Macs (OS X to be more precise). Prefer it so much more compared to the lousy Quicktime player. Trying to adopt iTunes a bit more, but as I don't have an iPod there isn't much need to do so.
It's a pity that I've just read this post after you've switched to Ubuntu. I disliked OS X for a lot of all these issues but still not enough for me to switch to Ubuntu, though I use Ubuntu for almost all my servers.
BTW regarding the "Replace not Merge" issue that you highlighted, you can do it, albeit with a command line. Use the "ditto" command.
My main pet peeve of OS X is still its inability to have mouse acceleration off. I go through a lot of hoops to have mouse acceleration off on my Magic Mouse (there is currently no known solution for this).
Thanks for the tip with ditto, though they have implemented folder merging in Lion but have yet to see how well it works Your mouse acceleration peeve is one of my too. How can I be consistent if the cursor wants to accelerate leaving me somewhere else, rather than where I want it to be. I used SteerMouse which is Lion compatible but it doesn't feel super smooth, but it worked well enough for me.
As Chinmay keeps telling me, OS X is not meant for me and as with all the problems I've had it just wasn't a productive system for me so I just had to change for productivity sake (and to keep my blood pressure at a reasonable level =p ). Some say I may have a lemon but I've tried switching hard drives, clean installs (Leopard & Lion) and similar problems keep cropping up. Ubuntu, although with its own quirks and issues, has been more much responsive and usable.
I finally found someone who actually understand my pain, I do have all the issues you mention, I honestly can't believe how OSX forces you to use too many keys to do really simple operations like "ctrl + fn + f2" just to reach the menu bar, it's so frustratingly annoying.
Thank you for letting me know of some of the workarounds, I really hope someone builds a more windows friendly file manager, I can't use the finder as productively as I used to on Windows.

How Much Will Bitcoin Be Worth in 10 Years?
If you actually stop and think about it, in a lot of ways, Bitcoin is just like religion. If we knew all the answers, there would be no debate about Bitcoin. Everyone would just buy Bitcoin right now in a paradoxical, self-fulfilling prophecy. Since we don't know the answers, though, all you're left with is faith. And you either have faith or you don't.
Just like religion, Bitcoin, too, has its fanatics, its evangelists, its faith healers, its pastors and its congregation. What it also has, however, are atheists, and, much more importantly, antitheists. Kenneth Rogoff, a prominent economist from Harvard, is one such antitheist, a Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens of cryptocurrencies, if you will. People who are very vocal in their opposition to cryptocurrencies are often colloquially dubbed "nocoiners" in crypto circles, and Rogoff is a well-known nocoiner.
In his most recent public appearance, Rogoff stated that Bitcoin is way more likely to be worth $100 than $100, 000 ten years into the future. Among factors that he predicts will lead to Bitcoin's depreciation, he cited Bitcoin's limited application as a means of payment. In his view, apart from money laundering and tax evasion, there is very little reason to use BTC at all. Once illicit activity is out of the equation, Bitcoin enthusiasts are in for a rude awakening, Rogoff believes. Furthermore, Rogoff has stated multiple times that governments need to regulate and restrict the use of cryptocurrencies, and stricter regulatory practices will definitely stop the crypto train in its tracks.
Soon after Rogoff's remarks aired on CNBC's "Squawk Box", industry insiders rushed to point out the various misconceptions and flaws in his reasoning. His understanding of how Bitcoin works is still lagging behind the newest technological advances, such as the Lightning Network, which makes BTC much more viable as an actual currency for making purchases. Not to mention all of the potential upgrades in the future. 10 years is a long, long time – after all, Bitcoin hasn't even been around for that long, and already, so many of its issues have been resolved. As for the illegal transactions argument, studies have shown that, even if we're being generous, less than 20% of all transactions are potentially for illegal purposes (tax evasion, money laundering). Rogoff did say, however, that, in case the price of Bitcoin does drop, it wouldn't be a sudden drop by any stretch of the imagination. It would come as a direct result of government regulation. Still, Rogoff admits that multiple governments would have to cooperate on the crackdown, otherwise the users will just access exchanges from another country.
If you feel like you're losing your religion after reading about Kenneth Rogoff's predictions, fear not, for pastor Winklevoss is here to restore your faith. All through February, Tyler Winklevoss has been preaching at various conventions and seminars that Bitcoin is better at being gold than gold, and that over the next 10 to 20 years, the price of Bitcoin will rise to $320,000. If you ask the Winklevoss wonder twins, Rogoff and other skeptics suffer from a "failure of the imagination," especially if you imagine a world where smart homes, self-driving cars and various devices constantly make micro payments using digital assets.
Still, many have taken Rogoff's words to heart. After all, much like fellow "nocoiners" Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger, Rogoff is not a nobody – he formerly held the position of chief economist at the International Monetary Fund (IMF). But don't be disheartened. In Jeremiah Johnson, a character says that among Indians, "a tribe's greatness is figured on how mighty its enemies be". So, even if Bitcoin's detractors are not actually barking up the wrong tree, they are certainly barking up a particularly big one.

Finding Insurance Coverage When You Have a Pre-Existing Condition
Affordable Care Act, Obama Care
If you are like 130 million Americans with health issues like asthma, high blood pressure or diabetes, then you are probably considered someone with a pre-existing condition by insurance companies. Technically speaking, a pre-existing condition is any health problem for which you have already received medical advice or treatment, but what actually constitutes a pre-existing condition is largely left up to the insurer.
Just a few years ago, if you had a pre-existing condition, then you would have likely had to pay more to get health insurance. In many cases, insurers would not even issue you a policy if you had serious health conditions like cancer or organ failure which would be extremely costly to treat. For more than half of all Americans with one or more pre-existing conditions, obtaining health insurance was difficult, if not impossible.
In 2010, Congress passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as ACA or Obamacare. This sweeping health care reform law made many changes to the American health care system, but one of the most popular and important was the "Community Rating." The Community Rating provision prohibited insurers from discriminating against people with pre-existing conditions.
It became illegal for insurers to charge enrollees more if they were sick or deny them coverage based on prior illness. The ACA also required that all health plans include certain Essential Health Benefits which included:
Mental health and addiction treatment
Because all health insurance policies included these Essential Health Benefits, no one with a prior health condition could be sold a policy that would not cover major medical services.
The Community Rating clause of the ACA also affected employer health plans. Prior to ACA, employer health plans could impose a waiting period before coverage began for workers with prior health conditions. In some circumstances, this waiting period could last up to 12 months, and this applied to people who switched jobs or were uninsured for 63 or more days.
If you are still on a health plan from before passage of the Affordable Care Act, your insurer may still be able to charge you more if you had a pre-existing condition, or deny you coverage for various services related to prior health issues. Insurers may still consider other factors in issuing a health insurance policy including age, geographical location, family size and tobacco use.
If you are not sure if your current health plan complies with the Community Rating or other provisions of the Affordable Care Act, you may find answers with one of Boost Health Insurance's many knowledgeable service representatives.

New Health Care Reform Efforts
Although the Affordable Care Act was a boon for many Americans with pre-existing conditions who could finally obtain health coverage at an affordable rate, the new law had many problems. Among these was the lack of voluntary participation of younger, healthy Americans. Despite the inclusion of the Individual Mandate (which financially penalize Americans without health insurance), there were too few healthy enrollees, leaving only those with pre-existing conditions in the insurance pool.
Because those signing up for health coverage on the ACA-sponsored health insurance exchanges were predominantly the sick who couldn't get insured before, the costs for insurers were significantly greater than expected. Without younger, healthier enrollees joining these coverage populations to offset the more expensive enrollees, insurers were paying more than expected. This, of course, led to higher premiums for most enrollees as well as departures for many insurers from the exchanges.
onephoto/Bigstockphoto.com
Diminishing competition and skyrocketing insurance premiums were the primary drivers of the more recent health care reform initiatives in Congress. New proposals like the American Health Care Act that passed in the U.S. House of Representatives would have stripped the Community Rating from federal law books and allowed insurers to consider pre-existing conditions when issuing policies.
Future of the Community Rating
Fortunately, neither of the proposals put forth by the House of Representatives or the Senate were ratified into law. At least for the moment, the Affordable Care Act remains the law of the land so it remains illegal for insurers to discriminate against those with pre-existing conditions.
While this is great news for many Americans, it may be a situation that you should take advantage of now while you still have the chance. There is no guarantee that Congress won't take up health care reform again at some point, and, if they are more successful in the next round of lawmaking, then the Affordable Care Act could disappear along with its protections for people with pre-existing conditions.
It may be in your best interest to sign up for health insurance while the ACA is still in force because if it is repealed, your policy will likely remain unchanged due to a "grandfathered" clause in future laws. Your grandfathered policy probably won't allow your insurer to raise rates or deny you coverage due to a pre-existing condition even under a new law without such protections.
There is also some doubt as to whether any new laws would include a rollback in protections for pre-existing conditions because so many sick people have obtained health coverage under Obamacare. In a recent poll by the Cato Institute, almost 63 percent of respondents supported the Community Rating provision. This high level of support among the American public would make a repeal of that part of the law politically much more difficult.
The recent failure of the Republican-controlled Congress to repeal the Affordable Care Act also highlights the popularity of the new health care entitlement. Following the passage of the House's American Health Care Act, which would have led to millions of Americans losing their health coverage, the popularity of ACA topped 51 percent, the highest since its passage. Any future efforts to dismantle the Obamacare insurance system is likely to meet staunch resistance from an American public that is enjoying the many benefits.

Watchdog blasts Tories for secrecy obsession
A secretive Conservative government shares the blame for an access-to-information system that is dogged with delays and on the brink of "crisis," a scathing report says.
By Richard J. Brennan
and Bruce Campion-SmithOTTAWA BUREAU
Fri., Feb. 27, 2009timer3 min. read
Note: This article has been edited from a previously published version to correctly indicate it was the Canadian International Development Agency that said it would take 455 days to provide records about Ottawa's polio campaign in Afghanistan.
OTTAWA–A secretive Conservative government shares the blame for an access-to-information system that is dogged with delays and on the brink of "crisis," a scathing report says.
Information Commissioner Robert Marleau issued a hard-hitting condemnation yesterday of Ottawa's "risk-averse, disclosure-averse" atmosphere that denies Canadians the information they're entitled to about the workings of the federal government.
And he singled out the Conservatives' "stranglehold in the centre on communications" and challenged Ottawa's "tendency to withhold information."
"It will take the leadership of the government to change and turn this around. No amount of my barking or biting is going to change that," Marleau said.
"I think it's important this government make crystal clear what its intentions are on transparency."
The Conservative government came to power in 2006, in part on a promise to reform outdated access-to-information laws and make Ottawa more open and accountable.
But yesterday, Marleau was forced to appeal to Prime Minister Stephen Harper to follow U.S. President Barack Obama's lead and send a clear message that open government is a priority.
"Public servants do want to serve Canadians, and when they hear it from the Prime Minister that it is a priority to be more transparent and be more diligent in the disclosure of information, it would have a considerable impact."
Treasury Board President Vic Toews, who is responsible for the file, refused to talk to reporters yesterday. In the Commons, he boasted that the Conservatives made Crown corporations open to information requests, but he sidestepped questions about the long delays plaguing the system.
Under legislation first introduced in the mid-1980s, Canadians can pay $5 to request information from federal agencies.
But in his 156-page report, Marleau noted how requests frequently become bogged down in delays that stretch upward of 100 days. He said filling information requests within 30 days – the statutory guideline – has become the "exception."
He said the intent of the law – to force federal departments to disclose information about their operations – is being undermined by overburdened, poorly trained staff and apathy at the highest levels of government.
Marleau surveyed 10 federal institutions in how they responded to access to information requests during the 2007-08 fiscal year and judged that six performed "below average."
The defence department, Foreign Affairs, Public Works and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police ranked among the worst performers of the departments surveyed. Foreign Affairs took, on average, 132 days to meet requests. Public Works took an average of 126 days.
Marleau noted how the defence department established a so-called "tiger" team to vet all access requests related to Canada's military mission in Afghanistan, even though it meant delays of a month and more. "They were part of the difficulty in the early, timely disclosure of information about Afghanistan," he said.
But those delays continue. Just this week, the Canadian International Development Agency told the Star it would take 455 days to provide records about Ottawa's polio campaign in Afghanistan.
The commissioner said while departments are well within their rights to ask to extensions past the 30 days, "those extensions are getting longer and longer and longer ... and I don't think it is reasonable" when it takes up to 180 days for information to be made available.
Marleau noted that besides the barrage of complaints to his office about excessive delays, he also hears from people complaining about excessive fees.
The opposition parties are threatening to unite to force the government to live up to the letter of the access to information law.
Already the New Democrats have a private member's bill before Parliament calling for sweeping changes.
Liberal MP Dan McTeague (Pickering-Scarborough East) said Canada was once a "beacon" for openness and transparency but "that light has ... been extinguished."
"Mr. Harper's government has decided to become less transparent and more focused on constraining information. ... It is virtually impossible to get information," McTeague said.
New Democrat MP Pat Martin (Winnipeg Centre) said the bill he introduced this week is the same legislation Harper promised before he took power.
"It could be the single most important thing we do in this session of Parliament," Martin said.


The article recounts the decision of U.S. president U. S. Grant to remove the word "provisional" from the title of Texas officeholders on March 30, 1870. The decision ended military rule in Texas and in effect meant Texas had reentered the Union following the late unpleasantness.

Q: Is there a better way to determine if an os.popen output is "could not find" vs the intended output? Good Afternoon
I'm currently trying to create a script that uses os.popen to access the MacOS application folder, check the version of a program, and then output the version. If the program is not found, the program outputs "[program] is not installed." However, I cannot quite figure out how to differentiate between a version number and the output being "could not find [program name]."
import os

def grab_version(target_app):
    stream = os.popen('mdls -raw -name kMDItemVersion /Applications/' + target_app + '.app')
    target_version = stream.read()
    read_out = target_app + " is installed, version " + target_version
    if target_version == "/Applications/" + target_app + ".app: could not find /Applications/" + target_app + ".app.":
        read_out = target_app + " is not installed."
        print(read_out)
    else:
        print(read_out)
    return()

grab_version("Slack")

This is my current attempt, trying to do an if/else where if is equal to the error message. I don't think that's a good solution, since it doesn't work.
Does anyone have any ideas? I have looked into exception handling but I don't think the "not found" error is considered an exception as it just writes to target_app anyway. I could be wrong, though.

A: I figured out how I can do this. I used the "in" operator to find "could not find" in the string.
Here's the code:
 if "could not find" in target_version:
        read_out = target_app + " is not installed."
        print(read_out)
    else:
        read_out = target_app + " is installed, version " + target_version
        print(read_out)

Light-Painting bzw. Light-Writing (dt. Zeichnen/ Malen/ Schreiben mit Licht) ist eine fotografische Technik aus der Langzeitbelichtung, in welcher Fotografien in der Regel bei Dunkelheit oder in abgedunkelten Räumen durch die Bewegung einer (oder mehrerer) Lichtquellen (oder durch Bewegung der Kamera) gemacht werden.

Durchführung
Das Lichtmalen bzw. -zeichnen wird während einer Langzeitbelichtung bei Tageslicht oder Dunkelheit umgesetzt. Entweder wird ein Leuchtmittel in Richtung der Kamera gehalten und während der Belichtung bewegt, um Formen oder Linien zu erzeugen, oder die Kamera wird in bestimmte Richtungen bewegt, um durch die Veränderung der Position von stationären Lichtquellen im Bildausschnitt Linien zu erzeugen.

Light-Painting ist bei Tageslicht auch durch den Einsatz von ND-Filtern möglich. Man benötigt in diesem Fall ein entsprechend helleres Leuchtmittel.

Bei fortgeschrittenen Techniken werden zur Planung und Durchführung der Lightpainting-Bilder die Abläufe in Choreographien organisiert, um eine bessere Wiederholbarkeit zu ermöglichen.

Geschichte
Die ersten bekannt gewordenen Light-Writing-Bilder stammen aus dem Jahr 1889 von Étienne-Jules Marey und Georges Demeny aus Frankreich. Mit an den Gelenken befestigten Glühlampen entstanden die ersten bekannten Light-Painting-Fotografien in der Serie Pathological walk from in front. Es folgte 1914 der Amerikaner Frank Bunker Gilbreth, den keine Kunst antrieb, sondern Forschung zur Arbeitserleichterung – im Gegensatz zum amerikanischen Fotografen Man Ray, der 1935 eine Fotoreihe unter dem Titel Space writing schuf. Barbara Morgan war die erste weibliche Fotografin, die sich um 1940 mit dem Light Drawing beschäftigte. Eine bekannte Fotografie aus dem Jahr 1940 trägt den Titel Pure Energy and Neurotic Man. 1949 fertigte Pablo Picasso, inspiriert durch den Life-Fotografen Gjon Mili, in Zusammenarbeit mit Mili eine Reihe von Langzeitfotografien, auf denen er mit einem Lichtstift in der Luft zeichnet. In den 1970er und 1980er Jahren nutzte Eric Staller die Technik für mehrere Fotoreihen.

Im modernen Light-Paintings wird vermehrt mit Choreography und Performance fotografiert und organisiert. Der kanadische Light-Painting-Fotograf Patrick Rochon entwickelt seit 20 Jahren eine Vielzahl von Techniken für die Personen- und Porträtfotografie.

Weiterentwicklung
Mit der Verbreitung der digitalen Kameras Ende der 1990er Jahre wurde die Erstellung von Lichtmalereien deutlich vereinfacht und fand größere Verbreitung (sofortige Bildkontrolle und günstiger zu erstellende Bilder). Ab 2007 avancierte das Light-Painting zum internationalen Trend und wurde in der Folge auf die Kunstform von bewegten Bilder erweitert.

Es wurden sogenannte Real-Time-Light-Painting-Video-Systeme entwickelt. Dabei handelt es sich um eine Videokamera oder Webcam, die an einen Computer angeschlossen wird. Anders als bei der Fotokamera wird die Belichtung nicht auf ein Bild summiert, sondern die laufenden Einzelbilder des Films mit einer speziellen Software übereinander gerechnet, damit Lichtspuren im Videofilm aufgezeichnet werden können. Abhängig von der Bildauflösung (4K, 2K HD, DVB) entstehen sehr große Datenmengen (mehrere GB pro Minute).

Durch die simultane Auslösung mehrerer Fotokameras gelingt es ebenfalls Light-Painting in 3D aufzunehmen und darüber den aus Matrix bekannten Bullettime-Effekt zu realisieren.

Mit weiter voranschreitender Technik werden stetig neue Möglichkeiten und Ideen geboren.

Lichtquellen
Jede Lichtquelle entwickelt ein spezifisches Licht, das vom Leuchtmittel (eventuellen Treibern) beeinflusst wird.  Verwendete Leuchtmittel sind LED-, Xenon-, HID- und Glühlampen.

LED-Taschenlampen bieten mittlerweile viele verschiedene Leucht-Modi (Strobe, SOS, langsames Blinken, schnelles Blinken sowie automatisches Hoch- und Abdimmen).  Andere Lichtquellen sind Kerzen, Streichhölzer, Feuerwerk, Funkenbildung durch mechanische Metallverarbeitung (z. B. Winkelschleifer), Pyrotechnik (Wunderkerzen), brennbare Gase sowie Kinderspielzeug mit eingebauter Beleuchtung.

Oft werden die Lichtquellen mit Gegenständen kombiniert, die das Licht brechen um zusätzliche Effekte zu erzielen. Üblich sind durchsichtige Platten (Blades), Gläser, Flaschen und Glasfaserkabel.

Das Stecken von lichtstarken LED-Taschenlampen in farbige T8-Kunststoffröhren ergibt leuchtschwertartige Tools, die viele Light Painting-Künstler verwenden, um Lichtflächen (häufig Lightkreise) hinter Personen zu malen. Damit entstehen leuchtende und oft halbtransparente Rahmen um das jeweilige Model und dessen Silhouette.

Rose McGowan Books In Order
Publication Order of Non-Fiction Books
Brave (2018) Hardcover Paperback Kindle
Rose McGowan is an American author, actress, and a proud agent of change. She has held many hats during her entertainment industry career throughout the years. She has been an entrepreneur, music artist, a director, an icon, a feminist, an activist, actress, and whistle blower.
Rose was born on September 5, 1973 in a region of Tuscany, Italy. Her middle name is Arianna. She was born to her father Daniel and her mother Terri. Her father was an artist and her mother was a writer. Rose has two half siblings as well.
Her parents belonged to a chapter in Italy of the Children of God, which he ran. They were members until 1978, and Rose spent her childhood either in the communes or going through Europe and traveling with her parents.
Rose became a child model through her father's contacts in Italy in the art world. She appeared in Vogue Bambini and other magazines distributed in Italy. When Rose was 10 years of age, her parents decided to come back to the United States, and moved to the state of Oregon to live.
Rose's childhood and her time growing up as a teenager simply was not the average. She ran away from home as a teen and lived in Portland for a while, making friends with some of the city's drag queens. Her parents eventually chose to divorce, and Rose choose to move and live with her father in Seattle. There she went to high school and got herself a job working at McDonald's. She emancipated herself at the age of fifteen years old and decided to move to Los Angeles.
As an actress, she first made her debut in the movie Encino Man, released in 1992. She would go on to get more recognition from audiences thanks to her appearance in The Doom Generation. It was the spoof horror movie Scream, a hit with audiences, that would make her known mainstream. She went on to be in several more films, such as Going All the Way, the 1998 movie Devil in the Flesh, and Jawbreaker in 1999.
She has appeared on many magazine covers, including GQ, Interview, Maxim, and Rolling Stone. McGowan was also recognized in 2017 by Time magazine to be a Silence Breaker for her work on speaking out about harassment and sexual assault. Silence Breakers were the 'Person of the Year'.
Rose is now known for being the individual unafraid to put a spotlight on the injustice and inequality that has been going on in Hollywood and the entertainment industry. She has been an integral part of the Me Too movement and used her voice to encourage others to join the fight to take on the status quo. Her views have been covered in a four part documentary series in 2018 which was called Citizen Rose.
Rose McGowan is the leader of a movement that had intentions to allow people to break their silence. She has created a platform for social justice with Rose's Army, and the hash tag #ROSEARMY has been a way for individuals to find their voices and take on the world. She is one of the main figures that has encouraged ways of different thinking and that it is time for the world to be better.
Rose has had a strong history of roles in films and television. As partially mentioned before, she appeared in the movies Scream, Grindhouse, Planet Terror, and more. McGowan also joined the cast of the popular supernatural television show Charmed as the young Paige Matthews. The show is about a group of sisters that have magical powers. The show starred female leads and is one of the longest running shows led by female characters in the history of television.
Rose has not also been in movies and television but directed her own work. Dawn was her directing debut and it did quite well. It showed at the Sundance Film Festival where the acclaimed short film was nominated to receive the Grand Jury Prize in 2014.
Rose did not have an average up bringing as a child. She was born in a cult as a young child and had to work her way out of that. Eventually, she made her way to another world where it seemed that everyone played by their own rules, a place called Hollywood.
Rose wrote the forward for the book Backwards and In Heels, which came out in 2018 in May from Mango. She would write her own full length novel in the nonfiction genre, a memoir that talked about her life in the past and up to this current moment.
Rose McGowan is the author of Brave. If you love books that give you an insight into what someone is thinking, then this is a juggernaut of a novel for you to check out. Full of the intensity and anger that McGowan feels in full force, this is the story of one woman who has made it through the fire and back again.
Hollywood is a strange place, and Rose arrived in Los Angeles when she was just fifteen years old with no one to guide her. This was a unique world and as an entertainer, you were always on display. Once she had achieved being a star, it became a strange nightmare where she felt not only constantly exposed but seen as a sexual object as well.
It was all a bit much, so the actress pursued escapism and went into her mind, just like she had done when she was young. Another way to escape was relationships, high profile things with stars like Marilyn Manson. Once she was truly famous, it seemed that every aspect of her personal life was up for public processing.
Soon, Rose found that there were challenges within a sexist industry, and she was finding them in scripts, magazine covers, and public appearance. Marketing her as a bombshell, Rose found that her identity had been in a way hijacked in the name of making money.
A story of the search for one's true identity and the anger of injustice, these are the memoirs of a woman that refuses to be silent. Pick up Brave by Rose McGowan to read every word for yourself!

You may have seen that a few weeks ago we got to try some Bambo Nature nappies for Dexter and we really enjoyed using them supporting their eco-background. They have suited Dex really well and they have proven hit in our family. We were excited to find out that Bambo have released some skin care products such as oils, lotions and creams and we were asked to the launch of these vegan friendly and cruelty free products along with some other lovely bloggers.
We headed over to Kelmarsh Hall & Gardens and as soon as we arrived at the beautiful gardens we were able to get involved in some eco-crafts. We made some gorgeous bamboo dream catchers and it was cute to see all the children threading them or attempting to! Dex also enjoyed eating the bamboo and which she still enjoys now to relieve his teeth! Dexter's is now in his room, pride of place.
It was such a glorious setting to meet the bloggers that I had previously spoken to online but never met and also to meet their lovely children. Once everyone was introduced we got to hear a bit more about the skin products such as the fact that they are all certified organic contataing no nasties as well as the ethos behind Bambo, Skin-Friendly, Eco-Friendly and Sleep- Friendly. We got to use some of the products in a baby reflexology session by Tiny Toes Reflexology . Although Dexter was slightly too wriggly to enjoy his reflexology session I have used it at home especially at bedtimes and it does settle him and he likes to offer a foot when he wants his feet rubbed! I like the fact that I can offer him a non-medicated way to ease his reflux or tummy pains for instance.
In the room there was also some photography from Natalie Banner Imaging eye photography She took some wonderful photos of Dexter and all the other children that were there and also some natural ones of the day. There was a little pop-up booth which she worked from and it was just so laid-back & friendly and you can really see that in the photos how well they turned out.
We all had some tasty lunch and yummy cake. Then some of the children who were a little older than Dexter took part in some outdoor painting.
We were given a lovely goodie bag to come home with which contain some of the new skin care products. Dexter has very temperamental skin but the products have really suited him and we haven't had any flare ups. My favourite by far is the bath oil which has a multitude of uses especially for cradle cap on Dexter and I have really dry skin on my arms which it smooths but only that though it's super luxurious to have some bath oil isn't it?!
We were invited to the Bambo day as well as receiving a goodie bag. All words are my own.

Lavender is an aromatic perennial evergreen shrub. Its woody stems bear lavender or purple flowers from late spring to early autumn, although there are varieties with blossoms of white or pink. Lavender is native to the Mediterranean, but now cultivated in cool-winter, dry-summer areas in Europe and the Western United States. The use of Lavender goes back thousands of years, with the first recorded uses by the Egyptians during the mummification process.
Both the Greeks and the Romans had many uses for it, the most popular being for bathing, cooking, as an ingredient in perfume, healing wounds, and as an insect repellant. Lavender was used as an after-bath perfume by the Romans, who gave the herb its name from the Latin lavare, to wash. During the Great Plague of 1665, grave robbers would wash their hands in a concoction called Four Thieves Vinegar, which contained lavender, wormwood, rue, sage, mint, and rosemary, and vinegar; they rarely became infected. English folklore tells that a mixture of lavender, mugwort, chamomile, and rose petals will attract sprites, fairies, brownies, and elves.
Essential oil containing borneol, camphor, geraniol, and linalool, also coumarins, caryophyllene, tannins, and other antioxidant compounds.
Teas, tinctures, and added to baked goods. Cosmetically it has a multitude of uses and can be included in ointments for pain and burn relief.
Specific: No known precautions.
Painkiller, soothing, relaxing, antidepressant and ant rheumatic
Insecticide: In cases of wounds, insect bites, burns and sedatives bathrooms
Healing and anticoagulant: It is excellent to heal and disinfect wounds. Healthy, soothes burns, bruises and bites
